Chapter 810: Fishing for Governor Zhou alone, but pitying Da Tiantian
Many of Hong Kong's great directors and stars actually came from the mainland.
For example, Tian Wang Liming is from Beijing, Fatty Wang and Dad Wang Tianlin are from Shaoxing, and Liu Jialing is from Suzhou...
The most outrageous thing is that the father of Xiao Ni, a famous scumbag in Xiangjiang, ran all the way from Inner Mongolia to Xiangjiang...
Most of the glory of the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the last century came from literary and artistic talents from all over the world.
When the mainland developed, hundreds of flowers bloomed, and the talents in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang were cut off from generation to generation, and it became the current situation of lack of talent.
The King of Sunglasses was originally from Magic City.
I have been going to Xiangjiang since I was a child, and I have a deep attachment to the magical city in my bones.
So when I read the original novel "Flowers", I was inspired and suddenly had the urge to make it into a film.
So I decisively asked the team to take action and won the copyright.
A Bao, a young man from the magical city with an ordinary background.
Starting from scratch, going through ups and downs.
Eventually, he became famous on Huanghe Road, the magic city of the last century, and became the famous treasurer in Shanghai.
Abao's life experience is the story of "Flowers".
His legendary experience reflects that great era.
In this way, you can see the big from the small, and you will have depth.
The King of Sunglasses has read the original work several times and is full of expression.
In my mind, I sketched the outline of the story.
The first thing I thought of was the guy selling wontons.
More than ten years ago, Hong Kong dominated Hong Kong and Hong Kong Island.
How high-spirited?
It is no exaggeration to say that he is a business tycoon.
And the romance continued, and later the tall building collapsed suddenly, and he entered Tilanqiao for further study...
Coincidentally, that person happened to have the same surname as Zhou Yutang.
There were even rumors that Zhou Yutang was the younger member of the family.
The Sunglasses King was quite interested in these things. After much research, he realized that they were just rumors.
In the past ten years, Zhou Yutang has stood at the top of the entertainment industry step by step and steadily.
The Asian media tycoon planted his flag in Hollywood, bought the Premier League red team, set foot on the Internet, and dominated the global market with Douyin short videos...
This is far more brilliant than the achievement of selling wontons.
Not only in the entertainment industry, but also in Hong Kong's wealthy circles, there is a lot of private discussion about Zhou Yutang.
The King of Sunglasses knew a lot of inside information, and his interest in Zhou Yutang continued to grow.
For the director, it is necessary to use the language of the lens to create a world that is convincing enough for the audience.
Let Zhou Yutang play the male lead in "Flowers", and there is no need to do this.
Because he was originally a self-made romantic tycoon.
The audience will subconsciously convince themselves.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Sunglasses King, no one is more suitable to play Abao than Zhou Yutang.
He often surfs the Internet when he has nothing to do, and is very concerned about the audience's evaluation of himself.
I saw a lot of doubts about "The Ferryman" on the Internet, so I couldn't help but post a short essay.
I was also holding my breath in my heart.
Holding back, I prepared to take out a work of sufficient weight.
The chosen male protagonist of the Fairy Bureau is right in front of us, but how to convince him to join is a very troublesome task.
The King of Sunglasses called Ren Zhonglun, "Dr. Ren, there is no problem with Tang Yan. It's settled. As for Mr. Zhou, you can find a way to do the work."
"Director Wang, you also know that Yu Tang's schedule is very tight, so this matter is difficult to handle."
"You have a lot of face. You must have a way. Ask Tang Yan to help persuade you. Other conditions are easy to negotiate... The project can be done according to his schedule..."
"Oh, let me try again."
Ren Zhonglun sighed.
"Then it's settled."
Wang Jiawei quickly hung up the phone and pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.
The project "Flowers" took a long time to prepare, and there was a lot of time.
But he was very confident and could shoot it within the first five years, very quickly...
……
Zhou Yutang, who was being remembered, sneezed inexplicably.
The collar of the black turtleneck covered his chin.
Quickly entered the company building.
Compared with Haojiang, the temperature in Beijing dropped suddenly in January, which was bone-chilling.
I wasn't surprised by Tang Yan's good news.
Because he had already received an olive branch from the King of Sunglasses through Ren Zhonglun.
If a big director in the industry wants to do a big project, his first choice must be the Governor of Jiangdong.
Because the name Zhou Yutang is a guarantee of ratings and box office.
Most of the top projects go through his hands first.
Then it was the A-listers' turn to choose.
At that time, Ren Zhonglun was delivering tea in the snow, and when he mentioned this by the way, Zhou Yutang was very moved, and then expressed regret on the grounds that his schedule was too full...
to be honest.
Zhou Yutang admires the talent of the Sunglasses King, and has filmed many movies such as "Carmen", "Happy Together" and "In the Mood for Love".
But he didn't really want to take the role of King of Sunglasses.
The main thing is to have a deep understanding of how they do things.
Sunglasses King always starts shooting for a few months first, allowing the actors to play freely. He shoots every character and every camera position, and then goes back to edit and conceive with the materials...
Kaca suddenly had a flash of inspiration, came up with a new idea, and continued to add more shots.
Then I restarted and filmed for a few more months.
After repeating this for several years, I finally came up with a complete project based on a large amount of materials.
This was the case when he was making movies before, but this time when he was making TV series, the timeline would be even longer.
Zhou Yutang has a lot of things on his hands, and he also has to manage time to spend with the woman around him, so how can he have such free time to spend with him.
It would be him who would be in charge of this project.
The script is finalized, the budget project document is submitted, the plan to invest funds is clear, and the casting is directly selected.
The preliminary preparations will not be until next year at the latest, and then it will be launched. Counting the post-production time, it will meet the audience on the TV screen the year after that.
It’s hard to say how the King of Sunglasses operates.
Maybe it can be done in three years and three years.
Maybe even my son will be able to do soy sauce by then, the project is not finished yet...
……
In the New Year's Eve battlefield, "The Ferryman" finally failed to save himself.
The box office reached 485 million, and the single-day box office dropped to less than one million, making it the first to withdraw from the Lunar New Year season.
"Railway Tigers", which Shanghai Film Group strongly promoted, relied on Jackie Chan's sentimental marketing to do a good job, and the box office soared to 742 million.
It has great stamina and its daily box office is still around 10 million.
As for "The Great Wall", the poet Chen's new masterpiece, its wings were broken.
The box office has reached 1.135 billion, and the daily box office is only about 5 million. Even if the extension key has been issued, it is of no use.
The collapse of reputation has caused a crisis of trust among movie fans.
Brother Chen Kai seems to have exhausted his talents after "Farewell My Concubine".
However, there are many people who are more depressed than Poet Chen.
Just like this, a super project that had been brewing and hyped for a long time was sold out. LeTV, China Film, and the other producers who acquired the legendary Wanda were all in bad luck.
The stock prices of listed companies will be affected.
Even the owners of "The Legend of the Demon Cat", Xinli Media, Kadokawa, etc., are all anxious.
On the contrary, "The Holy Love", this dark horse that suddenly appeared, made people's eyes brighter.
After the first day, the number was 68 million on the second day, and 79 million on the third day. It grossed over 200 million in the first weekend.
The fourth day was a working day, and it dropped to 33 million...
The total box office has exceeded 200 million.
Moreover, with a stable reputation and continued box office success, it obviously has great potential.
The industry has already called this movie a surprise for the Lunar New Year.
Starring Xiao Yang's acting skills have been recognized by the industry, Clara has received a lot of bonuses, and Wanda has also received some blood.
Don't look at it now that Wanda is at the height of his power, he presses Hua Yi's head and blasts him with a hammer.
In fact, the company has made great strides, and the company has many hidden dangers.
"China's local fantasy blockbuster "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" has won the title for ten consecutive days, with a total box office revenue of 1.972 billion, leading the Lunar New Year festival!"
"Director Guo Fan said bluntly that the sequel is being prepared, and Captain Mojin may face off against Guanshan Taibao!"
"Dilraba Dilraba is full of energy and worked hard to participate in the road show promotion and became the focus of the audience!"
There is no doubt that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" has firmly occupied the top spot at the box office since its release.
First kill the "Great Wall", then kill the "Flying Tiger on the Railway", and then ferry the "Ferryman" to the other side.
The gods from all walks of life came over one by one, and the film and television section of the entertainment portal was almost massacred by the "Ghost Blowing Lantern 2" version.
The film and television industry seems to have seen again the magnificent scene that swept the Spring Festival stalls that year after Zhou Yutang started "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
The sequel has the accumulated popularity of the previous work, coupled with topical marketing, the current ticket sales in Tianchao are not comparable to those three years ago.
It’s not surprising that the movie’s box office ceiling is higher than its predecessor.
Zhou Yutang is more concerned about the audience's evaluation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2".
As of now, some original writers express regret. Because the movie failed to fully restore some scenes of the King’s Tomb in the original novel.
For example, the evil babies created by King Xian using special magic are really a bit too scary...
Master Gu would call out the darkness when he saw it.
Due to censorship considerations, certain cuts were made in the film during the final production stage.
Overall, most viewers were satisfied with the overall visual effects of the movie.
In addition to looking forward to the sequel of the movie, there is also a lot of discussion about Guo Fan,
""The Holy Love" is not bad, but the box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp 2" is too crazy."
"It all depends on the support of my colleagues. Who would have thought that "The Great Wall" would be such a huge success?"
"Congratulations to Director Guo, Maoyan APP has raised the total box office estimate to 3.02 billion."
"66666, just two movies, directly prove that the great director with a box office of 5 billion, Director Guo is awesome!"
"Don't be too basic. Governor Zhou gave me two movies, and he was a professional guide."
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
"The leader of Jiangdong's three great generals is indeed worthy of his fame."
"Like to guide Guo's career fortune."
In the past, the Chinese film market had a box office record of over 100 million, which can be said to be a blockbuster and well-known in the circle.
Crossing the box office of 500 million is another threshold and it can be said that it has become famous.
As for entering the billion box office club.
So congratulations, you have directly become a first-line director and have the opportunity to sit on the capital table.
For example, Bald Xu made a class jump after "囧囧".
Many veteran directors who have been famous for a long time, despite their high posture, have repeatedly pointed out the world.
But looking at its record, it has never made a movie with a box office of more than 1 billion.
Guo Fan is directly expected to join the 5 billion club by taking over Zhou Yutang's "The Band of Thieves" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". The two sequels are directly expected to join the 5 billion club...
He suddenly became the first of Jiangdong's three generals, and was nicknamed the "King of Takeovers" by Jianghu people...
……
"Brother Yu Tang."
"Tiantian, why are you here?"
Zhou Yutang was a little surprised to see Da Tiantian in Jiangdong Building: “I didn’t even say hello in advance.”
"I happened to be passing by, Brother Yu Tang, are you busy?"
The smile on Princess Tian's face is still as sweet as before, but there is a hint of fragility between her eyebrows that makes me pity her.
During this period, "The Great Wall" fell down and was full of melons.
The overwhelming rhythm of the Internet.
As a director, Poet Chen was once again questioned about Mr. Chen's acting in directing "Farewell My Concubine" and stood at attention and was beaten.
Da Tiantian also suffered a lot of criticism.
After all, for this project, on the first promotional poster released by the film crew, Matt was as cute as the sweet princess.
Big names such as Liu Tianwang, movie king Zhang Hanyu, top star Lu Han, etc. all stood aside.
As a leading actor, if the project fails, he will inevitably bear infamy.
Although in Zhou Yutang's opinion, the success or failure of this movie has little to do with Princess Sweet, her performance in the movie is quite acceptable.
"Come and sit here."
It’s a rare occasion for Princess Sweet to come, and Zhou Yutang must treat her well.
When drinking water, remember the person who dug the well. The first pot of gold earned by Governor Zhou was attributed to Princess Tian.
"Tiantian, coffee or tea, what would you like to drink?"
"Let's have tea."
Jing Tian hesitated for a moment, thinking that Zhou Yutang seemed to like drinking tea.
Sitting with her legs folded diagonally, Kazilan's big eyes flickered, watching Ni Ni's flowing movements.
The boss loves to drink tea, so the secretary must know this silky combo.
In fact, Da Tiantian didn’t understand either. She took the teacup from Ni Ni’s hand and said with a smile: “Thank you, Nini.”
"You're welcome, let's talk slowly."
Ni Ni made a gesture of invitation, with a bright smile on her face, and walked out.
“Don’t take online comments too seriously.”
Zhou Yutang comforted: "Just be yourself."
"Well, I know."
Datiantian took a sip of tea, her smile was as bright as the sun, and she said openly: "But my acting skills don't seem to be enough. I have been recharging at the mountain school recently."
"Well, it's good to be a little better than you were yesterday."
After chatting for a while, Jing Tian suddenly asked, "Brother Yu Tang, you haven't played football for a long time."
"I've been too busy recently. I just came back from Haojiang, and I have to attend meetings and do post-production work..."
Before he finished speaking, someone from the behind-the-scenes team called, and Zhou Yutang simply replied.
"Is the post-production stage of "In the Snow" almost complete?"
After waiting for him to finish the conversation quietly, Jing Tian asked curiously.
"It's almost done. We are also working on the post-production of the movie."
"Then...can I go and see you doing post-production?"
"Of course."
Vision Media, in the editing room, there is a generous and bright girl next to Zhou Yutang.
The staff are all old people from Jiangdong, and they behave calmly about this.
Zhou Yutang is a well-known workaholic, and sometimes even goes on dates in the Jiangdong Building.
Sissi, Shi Shi, Mimi, Binbin, Yuanyuan, etc. have all been to the editing room, and not one more is Tiantian...
Zhou Yutang was staring at the screen and communicating with the editor from time to time.
Jing Tian looked at Zhou Yutang frequently out of the corner of his eye.
The ultra-high brow bones and mountain roots form a side face with clear and cold lines.
It is said that men are most attractive when they work hard, and Jing Tian thinks so too.
Watched for a while.
In fact, she has little interest in the later stages of the film.
But I quite like staying with Zhou Yutang.
Every time I get along with him, I learn something and I admire him in my heart.
However, Zhou Yutang was very involved in what he was doing, and Jing Tian didn't interrupt him. Then the screen of his mobile phone lit up and he took the initiative to say goodbye.
Seeing her gently closing the door, Zhou Yutang looked up.
After sighing, he still called Jiang Xuezhen.
……
"Mr. Zhou, I just happened to report to you on the work of "The Chosen One". Lu Han has to rehearse the Spring Festival Gala and has asked for leave again. It may not be completed until after the new year...
Okay, then we will have another meeting when Director Li comes back after the new year. The script of "Half Demon Si Teng" is already under development..."
Jiang Xueliang, who was having a meeting in the company's small conference room, lowered his voice, but was still listened to by Zhou Shufang and Yang Tianzhen.
The ears on both sides stood up like antennas. Before Zhou Shufang could speak, Yang Tianzhen's eyes gleamed with light and he said first:
"Director Jiang, Mr. Zhou is going to make "Half Demon Si Teng"?"
The copyright of the novel "Half Demon Si Teng" by Wei Yu, a well-known author in Jingjiang, is in the Jiangdong copyright database.
The author's imagination is unbridled, and the settings of his works are often fantastic and strange, making film and television adaptations very difficult.
At that time, Zhou Yutang took over the copyright of "Half Demon Si Teng" by name.
Somehow the news got out.
The copyright prices of the works of the authors whom Governor Zhou was optimistic about immediately soared.
The Kiwi family heard the news and immediately followed up and spent a lot of money to buy another work of Taiyu, "Resentment Ringing the Bell".
Then I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. As a result, "The Record of the Bell" that was served to the table in the first half of this year had heavy thunder and little rain, and the broadcast effect was not ideal.
This also puts a question mark on the author's other works.
Jiangdong Entertainment’s film and television project development sequence also has priorities.
For example, "Swordsman in the Snow" is the top priority.
Next are the dramas from Fog Theater, as well as hit pre-order dramas such as "The Legend of Chu Qiao", "Ode to Joy 2", and "Nirvana in Fire 2" jointly produced by other companies.
As for "Half-Demon Sito", it will be further down the list.
However, Governor Zhou was optimistic about this rise. Both Yang Tianzhen and Zhou Shufang had known it privately and knew what it meant.
"Sister Fang, don't you want to rob me now?"
"Zhang Tianai has no shortage of projects at hand."
Zhou Shufang glanced sideways: "Didn't you cut off Guan Xiaotong's "Phoenix Prisoner"?"
"That's the producer's decision, what does it have to do with me?"
"Do you believe this?"
"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore."
As soon as the boss finished speaking, the two giants of the artist department were trying to cram people in. Jiang Xuezhen's head was so big that he tapped his fingers on the table and coughed lightly:
"For the project "Half Demon Si Teng", the script was developed in advance, and Mr. Zhou named Jing Tian to star."
"..."
The tense atmosphere just now dissipated immediately. Zhou Shufang and Yang Tianzhen leaned back as if nothing happened.
Since it was Governor Zhou who spoke, there was nothing to argue about.
Only Governor Zhou intervened.
Who dares to point fingers at Zhou Yutang's default heroine?
Wasn't that when the leader wanted to pick up the food and flipped the table?
