Chapter 763: Killing through the summer season with one knife, and the passion breaks out
What is Jianghu?
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Where there are rivers and lakes, martial arts will never die.
The previous version was the era of martial arts masters such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Huang Yi, Wen Ruian, etc. There were countless martial arts film and television adaptations.
If we push forward another ten years, whether it will be popular enough depends on whether it can be the protagonist of Jin Yong's martial arts drama.
This is how Miss Liu got up.
Wang Yuyan + Xiao Longnu, the white moonlight of many people.
In the past few years, the rise of online articles has been accompanied by the power of struggle and the pull of the coffin.
With its grand imagination and ultimate sense of satisfaction, it had a great impact on martial arts
That’s why reporters ask about the gradual decline of martial arts, which is indeed an indisputable fact.
The path of traditional martial arts has been exhausted by predecessors.
A new version of martial arts must tell stories in a different way and provide more emotional value to the audience in order to survive.
Lu Yang, the director of the "Xiuchundao" series, is fond of martial arts movies.
The same goes for Zhou Yutang, so the two of them can chat.
Coupled with the talented director Xu Ke, he is also a veteran martial arts fan.
"The world's turmoil is beyond my generation, and the time has come as soon as I enter the world. In the chat and laughter of the emperor's hegemony, I can't bear the drunkenness of life."
Many teenagers in the second grade of middle school have talked about this poem from "The Swordsman: The Undefeated East".
If you pick up a stick, the flowers and plants on the roadside will suffer.
At the cocktail party after the premiere, Xu Ke, with his trademark long hair, came over with a cup in hand and expressed his heartfelt emotions,
"Mr. Zhou, what you said about martial arts is so good."
"Director Xu."
"Well, the "Xiuchundao" series is the best martial arts movie I have seen in recent years."
Xu Ke directly praised him, which made Lu Yang, an I person, blush a little. He lost his high spirits like he did at today's premiere and said modestly:
“There is still a lot to learn from Director Xu.”
The generation of Lu Yang and Zhou Yutang both came from the golden age of Hong Kong movies, and they all experienced the baptism of Xu Laoguai's martial arts movies.
"Learn from Mr. Zhou, his grasp of the market is unmatched by anyone."
Xu Ke transformed into a praise leader. When he saw Liu Shishi next to Zhou Yutang, he praised by the way: "Shi Shi's acting is very good."
"Thank you, Director Xu."
Liu Shi smiled gently back.
Seeing that Old Monster Xu was continuing his trend, Zhou Yutang hurriedly changed the topic: "Director Xu, how is the later stage of "Journey to the West: Conquering Monsters" going?"
"It will take a few more months, and the effect is not ideal."
Xu Ke shook his head, stopped talking, and sighed softly.
Zhou Xingxing’s projects are always his responsibility.
Zhou Yutang understands this deeply.
Master Xing wants to promote Fei Xia to the top, and Huayi from the Beijing Circle, who just laughs off the grudges with him, also wants to fill in people.
Xu Ke, a director, has little say and many constraints on what he can do.
"Oh, let's not mention these disappointing things."
Old Monster Xu pulled Zhou Yutang and asked about the progress of the "In the Snow" project.
To say that the most popular martial arts IP in the mainland market right now is none other than Zhou Yutang's "Swordsman in the Snow".
"It's still early. Director Xu will come to the crew to have a look and give some advice when he has time."
"Okay, I'll definitely wait until I finish the later work."
"Boss."
After hearing the two people talk about Xuezhong and the direction of the subsequent film project, Lu Yang was a little curious, "Is Xuezhong really going to make a movie?"
"Not only movies, but also subsequent animation and game derivative projects are all being advanced simultaneously."
"Mr. Zhou always does things in a very orderly manner."
Old Monster Xu, who communicates with Zhou Yutang frequently in private, has changed his mind a lot from before.
The whole person has become the shape of the mainland film market.
——As long as there is no problem with his thoughts, no director in China can refuse the temptation to cooperate with Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang had already extended an olive branch to him, and Xu Ke himself was also very interested in this series of film and television projects.
So there was a lot to talk about. King Guo from Xiangjiang came over with a glass of red wine and said auspicious words,
"President Zhou, Director Lu, wish you a great box office success."
"I'd like to lend you some good words."
After a while of pleasantries, Zhou Yutang declined the invitation to the premiere of "Chilling 2".
He has to return to the set tomorrow and there is no way he can wait until the premiere on the 6th.
This is not a self-produced project, just a favor to make a guest appearance. When the time comes, it will be considered appropriate to have Li Shuang attend.
What's more interesting is that four years ago, "Xiu Chun Dao" swept the National Day schedule. At that time, "Cold War", which was originally planning to hit the National Day schedule, was also postponed.
Four years apart, the sequels of the two movies crashed in the summer season.
……
Continuing the popularity of the first part of "Xiu Chun Dao", that night, Governor Zhou was reciting poems on the eve of the farewell.
Reports related to the movie premiere have filled the headlines of entertainment websites.
Including the up owners of station B, as well as Toutiao and Douyin push hot lists, everything that can be arranged has been arranged.
"It takes four years to sharpen a knife! The original team of Zhou Yutang, Huang Xiaoming, and Liu Shishi create a shocking sequel to "Xiu Chun Knife"!"
"Zhou Yutang once again plays the role of the heroic emperor, and Liu Shishi's beauty reaches new heights!"
"The palace is a place where Shura kills, brothers are loyal, and beauties are deeply loved!"
"I regretted missing the wonderful martial arts movie "Xiu Chun Dao 2" for a year!"
I don’t know whether the audience will regret it or not, but if they missed the 19.9-yuan movie tickets that were released in advance on Maoyan, it really felt like a loss of 100 million.
Nowadays, various group purchases are prevalent, and watching movies is definitely not a luxury for most ordinary people.
It’s just the price of a cup of milk tea.
In line with the producer's banner of Zhou Yutang, the vast majority of the audience is willing to go into the cinema to support one or two.
This is the golden sign.
Any film and television drama produced by Zhou Yutang is either a hit or a high-quality product, which has become the default thing in the minds of the majority of viewers.
"Shi Shi, Mr. Zhou said that there is a third sequel to "Xiu Chun Knife". Is this true?"
"Probably."
An audience member asked during the North Dance Film Roadshow promotion.
Liu Shishi knew it well, with a smile on his radiant face: "Ask Director Lu about this."
Lu Yang smiled and said: "It will definitely depend on the box office performance. If it is within expectations, there should be a third part..."
Well, Zhou Yutang is indeed a little selfish in this version of Xiuchundao.
Huang Xiaoming doesn't talk about love, he only plays reality, and the brotherhood is deep, and he shows the struggle of little people to survive in the cracks of the temple and the rivers and lakes.
Liu Shishi, on the other hand, carries the emotional line of beauty on her shoulders.
Zhou Yutang did say that if there is a third part, it will definitely give Xiao Ming a happy ending...
……
In the wilderness, people are lying on their backs.
At this time, there were about a dozen extras of different shapes and sizes at the filming site, lying on the dirt with professionalism.
Gulinazha is dressed in white like snow.
The tip of her toes gently tapped the horse's back, making her figure look even more slender.
Wearing a bamboo hat on her head, the veil is fluttering in the wind in front of her face.
It can be seen that the eyebrows are like a painting, the skin is like white jade, and the points are as pretty as a fox. She is unrivaled in beauty.
The Xiudong and Chunlei swords are in hand, and those red and phoenix peach blossom eyes are like lightning.
Scanning the battlefield, he looked arrogant.
Not far away were His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lao Huang, who looked "shocked".
The original book does not describe the encounter between the two in detail. This is an extra scene in the TV series version.
It is also a rare highlight scene for Nangong Pushe in the early stage.
Xu Fengnian was wandering around the world. Because of his identity as the Crown Prince, he attracted numerous pursuits and his life was precarious.
He happened to meet Nangong Pushe, and their fates were intertwined.
In the front, Naza was fighting a shark. This scene has been postponed until now. Filming started only after Zhou Yutang returned from the capital and rejoined the team.
"Beiliang Prince's Mansion, do you want any secrets?"
Knowing that the beauty in front of him was for advancement, His Highness the Crown Prince immediately activated his pie-drawing skills after revealing his identity:
"The half of the magical book "The Treasure Swallowing Barrel of Swallowing Gold" is considered as a deposit. You escort me back to Beiliang. After arriving in Beiliang, I will give him the second half of "The Treasure Swallowing Barrel of Swallowing Gold". You won't lose any money in this business. How? ”
"Xu is begging for food."
The peach blossom eyes on Bai Hu'er's face were flowing, and the sandalwood mouth was slightly opened: "One word has been said."
"A horse is hard to catch."
Even Rouge's ranking as the best in the world can't stop him from adding money.
Ever since, such a peerless beauty was abducted back to Beiliang Palace by His Royal Highness.
The director shouted, and the extras who were lying on the ground eating ashes looked eagerly at the governor, the director, Wu Zhi, the camera director and others gathered behind the surveillance mirror to discuss.
Like a prisoner who is about to be taken to the execution ground, waiting for another trial.
"Nazha is quite talented in making martial arts movies." Zhang Jing said.
After checking the footage, Li Muge found it impeccable: "It feels very good, Mr. Zhou, do you want to keep one more shot?"
"No need, this is the effect you want."
Zhou Yutang raised his hand and called Wu Yuze, and continued, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work. I will add five hundred more for each extra."
"Damn it! The governor is so awesome!"
The extra performers, who were originally depressed, were given a shot of chicken blood and their spirits were instantly lifted.
This is really not easy.
This seemingly simple action scene has several sets of designs. Naza flew around with Diao Wei Ya.
After two days of struggling, I finally found the perfect one among dozens of shots.
The brothers threw themselves into the street dozens of times, spitting dust, but fortunately the governor offered three times the salary, and there was a bonus at the end, so it was worth the trouble.
Zhang Jing gave a thumbs up and praised: "Nazha, you just played beautifully!"
"Thank you, Director Zhang."
Naza, who had a cold temperament just now, had a sweet smile on her face.
Although martial arts instructor Zhang Jing's praise made her happy, Zhou Yutang's satisfied praise made her smile even more.
At this time, Zhou Yutang switched to ragged skin again for the needs of the plot.
He thought the makeup artist didn't dare to do anything, so he asked Ni Ni to put on the makeup himself.
In short, his shoes are torn, his clothes are torn, and he is as miserable as he wants.
Nazha usually met Zhou Yutang in a business-casual style, but she had never seen the war-damaged version of the Governor before, and it was an eye-opener.
After Nazha joined the team, teacher Fan Ming completed the reshoots on the remaining scenes, and the film was completed.
That night, the crew held a rather grand closing banquet. Since the filming started at the end of May, people have left the crew one after another.
For example, Chen Baoguo and several other veteran drama stars, the Liyang Dynasty's court role has come to an end for the time being.
Send Teacher Fan Ming off and continue filming.
The crew here are all talking about super gossip about Luo Xiaozhu's concert.
"Brother Bo, you're too relaxed, just kiss me like this."
"A passionate kiss made me blind."
"..."
Out of curiosity, Zhou Yutang opened his phone and took a look at the hot searches, which showed the same expression on the subway old man’s phone.
I originally thought that Deng Chao letting himself go at Lu Han's concert was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect that there is a mountain higher than the mountain.
Huang Bo, who was a guest at Luo Xiaozhu's Beijing concert, was so gorgeous on the stage that he had a wet kiss with him, which was a feast for the eyes of the audience.
In fact, several members of the Extreme Challenge Men's Gang have very good relationships in private, and they often have dinner dates and entertainment activities together.
Luo Xiaozhu doesn't have the baggage of being an idol and he has fun. His special performance this time is truly unrestrained.
When a man gets horny, what's the deal with women?
In the film market, the wave of imported blockbusters in June is gradually receding.
Facts have proved that the Chinese audience is not very interested in Lao Mei turning into the light of mankind to save the earth.
The box office performance of "Independence Day 2" was a bit unsatisfactory. After the box office exceeded 300 million, it was already difficult to sustain.
However, Du Qifeng still has a long way to go to grasp the taste of mainland audiences.
The box office of "Three's Company" can exceed 100 million, and the single-day box office has dropped to around 1 million.
Time has entered July, and the much-anticipated "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and "Bounty Hunter" have finally appeared on the big screen.
Everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and Lu Yang, Liu Shishi, Huang Xiaoming and other crew chiefs ran road shows according to the established publicity plan.
Today’s schedule is for Zhou Yutang to watch the scene between Ting Chaoge and Nazha.
To be sure, I read the script until midnight last night. I got up in the morning to do morning exercises. I went over the script again and received a call from Ren Zhonglun:
"Director Ren, do you get up so early to exercise too?"
"What about exercising? The box office came out on the first day." Ren Zhonglun's voice could not conceal his joy.
"Oh, how much?"
Zhou Yutang became more energetic.
"103 million, it's 103 million!"
"Not bad, congratulations to Director Ren."
"Haha, congratulations..."
Ren Zhonglun's laughter was a little loud. Zhou Yutang took the phone a little further and nodded reluctantly.
Channels are spread out and publicity is full.
Jiangdong Entertainment’s style of play is already very mature.
He originally thought that the 120 million yuan on the first day was certain, and there was no hope of hitting 150 million yuan.
Unexpectedly, it was only 103 million.
Just these mediocre results made Lao Ren full of enthusiasm.
Ren Zhonglun was indeed very excited.
Shanghai Film Group itself has also invested in many film and television projects, with some profits and losses, with mediocre results.
An opening result like "Xiuchundao 2" is an unprecedented start for him.
The key is that Shanghai Film Group will go public next month, and "Xiu Chun Dao 2" will come to fruition by then.
With such a good start and a little bit of speculation, the stock price won't take off by then?
This is the benefit of maintaining a relationship with Zhou Yutang for several years.
Sitting in the office and reading the first-day attendance and other data several times, Ren Zhonglun couldn't help clasping his hands and laughing: "There's a lot to do, a lot to do!"
On the other side, China Film.
La Pei Kang was in an equally happy mood.
China Film is also scheduled to go on the market next month. This move that shakes up the summer season is undoubtedly the best booster.
Pei Kang was eager to take off the label of Han Sanping, but it was undeniable that the mountain eagle left him many precious treasures.
Among them, the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series is one of them.
However, the biggest treasure is Zhou Yutang.
……
All major domestic film and television headlines are filled with news about "Xiu Chun Dao 2".
After both parties closed at 103 million on the first day.
The next day, the box office was 110 million.
On the 3rd, which was Sunday, it once again collected 125 million.
With a total box office of 338 million in the first weekend, it successfully topped the domestic summer film championship in China.
There is no doubt that this embroidered spring knife is already unstoppable and has the momentum to dominate the summer sales.
There are still a few days until blockbusters such as "Cold War 2" are released, and the Chinese film market is completely at its mercy.
Compared with the fierce momentum of "Xiu Chun Dao 2", the situation of "Bounty Hunter", which was released on the same day, is not so good.
The producers sat together in a meeting, feeling gloomy and gloomy.
According to the original estimates of the data department, the box office of this Sino-Korean co-production blockbuster was guaranteed to start at least 600 million.
But now, it has grossed 28.25 million in the first day, and has a box office score of 82.41 million in the first three days of the weekend.
It’s not as high as other people’s box office in one day!
The most critical thing is that word-of-mouth feedback is sluggish, and even follow-up publicity is difficult to carry out due to the influence of higher-level regulations.
The upper limit of box office potential is visible to the blind eye.
Zhang Zhao's body was like a puddle of soft mud, and he collapsed into a large chair.
After so many years of making movies, how could he not understand what this meant.
Judging from the current situation, trying to recover the 200 million production cost is tantamount to a fantasy, which is a matter of losing or losing.
Thinking of LeTV's recent capital chain problems, Zhang Zhao's heart was even more clouded...
……
The two blockbusters collided at the same time, like Mars hitting the Earth.
The online media is also hyping up Liu Shishi vs. Tang Yan. Fans of these two families have been fighting with each other with sparks and lightning.
For fans of Tang Yanjia.
As long as she can step on Sister Yi to rise to the top this time, Tang Yan's popularity will undoubtedly soar.
But how can the little lion be easy to mess with?
In the Golden Eagle Goddess vote in the past two years, Liu Shishi was able to single-handedly suppress the entire domestic entertainment floret, which shows the fighting power of the little lions.
The first-day box office results were released. "Xiu Chun Dao 2" continued the strong performance of the previous film and steadily suppressed the film's fans.
Three days later, the undercurrent of the dispute between the sword sisters and the flowers has come to an end.
Regardless of word-of-mouth, box office, attendance, film schedule and other data, the little lions have made a list and arranged everything clearly.
There is no need to mention who wins or loses.
The little lions were proud and proud.
As for fans of Tang Yan’s family, they can’t help but feel downcast.
Finally, the reason was summarized: this defeat was not a crime of war.
Unfair, unfair.
Fans of the Tang Yan family have something to say: "Xiu Chun Knife" is known as the most anticipated martial arts movie series in recent years, and it is an IP specially customized for Liu Shishi by the Governor of Jiangdong.
For this reason, he even starred in the film himself, and the film was directed by Lu Yang, one of the three major Jiangdong generals.
If Tang Yan had Zhou Yutang to protect her, she would definitely take off.
"Bounty Hunter" is directed by Bangzi and written by Xiangjiang, which is completely unreliable.
Lee Min Ho frequently publishes press releases in China, about long-legged oppas and South Korean male idols.
Before the movie was released, there were all kinds of rhetoric.
As a result, it stalled immediately upon its release and had no box office appeal. Bangzi's agency said it was due to some force majeure and refused to participate in the Tianchao Road Show.
Tang Yan’s fans were filled with resentment, and in turn, Lee Min Ho’s Weibo was flooded.
What professional qualities?
He is really not worthy of carrying shoes for the governor.
The recent hit "My Dangerous Wife" has also gained popularity in "Xiu Chun Dao 2".
For passers-by, the silly and cute Xiao Ming has changed his image of the phoenix scumbag in "Dangerous Wife". He is wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist. How can he be so handsome?
Needless to say, Liu Shishi's acting is neat, sassy and beautiful.
There are also fans of Tang Yan’s family who went to Zhou Yutang to write comments and recommend Tangtang’s new drama on Jiangdong...
The summer season has opened, and "Xiu Chun Knife 2" is a top performer.
