Chapter 114 The prosperous age of the Celestial Dynasty, the good voice of Zhou Yutang
According to the arrangement of teacher Yu Chenghui, Zhou Yutang wore sandbags on his feet and waist.
In the first few days, walking was a bit heavy, but I soon got used to it. As the old saying goes, my physical condition is so good that it would be a pity not to practice martial arts.
After getting used to this intensity and practicing the teacher's waist training methods, Zhou Yutang also specially invited a professional fitness coach to set up recipes and additional exercises for him.
Why?
In this drama, he has a very important scene showing his abs.
The movie is expected to start shooting around October, so Zhou Yutang will have to perfect his abdominal muscles during this time.
Body management is also a required course for being a star.
Zhou Yutang’s professionalism is beyond doubt.
I specially shared my training plan and videos with Liu Tianxian, but the girl was shocked.
She originally thought she had worked hard enough, but she didn't expect Zhou Yutang to be more ruthless than her.
Except for taking a shower, I always wear a set of sandbags weighing dozens of kilograms. I train like this every day, and I also find time to participate in Olympic rehearsals.
Liu Tianxian was completely convinced.
July.
Han Sanping was in a bad mood.
Zhou Yutang looked at Mr. Han sitting on the sofa and sighed several times.
No wonder.
"Red Cliff: Part 1" was released on the 10th of this month, and the box office exceeded 110 million only after a meager 7 days of release.
This box office performance is worse than that of "Assembly", which poured cold water on Mr. Han.
How much investment does "Assembly Number" cost?
It cost several hundred million to make "Red Cliff", but the total box office of the two movies is less than 1 billion, so it is considered a failure.
Following this trend, even though the film schedule is full, it has not been able to save it. Nearly a month after its release, the box office finally exceeded 220 million. Then the box office growth rate has plummeted. Although it is still in theaters, Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the market potential is almost exhausted.
Piracy of the film has long been spread all over the Internet, and the Olympic Games, which the whole country is paying attention to, is about to come. Who would care about this film with an appallingly low reputation?
Mr. Han looked at the extremely low scores given by the two major professional film review websites, Mtime.com and Douban, and his face was dark.
He took a sip of water from the thermos cup, shook his head and sighed.
As the main producer of China Film Group, Mr. Han has placed a lot of bets on Wu Yusen.
However, Mr. Han, who has never failed in the film industry, also looked away.
Mr. Han threw the box office statistical report submitted by the department below on the table and frowned: "Yu Tang, what do you think the problem is? Why don't so many audiences accept it?"
"Mr. Han, let me express my personal understanding from the perspective of the audience."
Zhou Yutang took a sip of water: "The most serious problem is probably the cultural flaw and the inability to resonate. I'm not talking about Wu The director’s cultural problem is not that his understanding of the Three Kingdoms is still the same as that of Hong Kong movies. What we viewers want to see when watching the Three Kingdoms are heroes rising up together, fighting for their lives, and conquering thousands of miles. The script has a huge problem."
Han Sanping rubbed his forehead: "There is a big problem with the script. The screenwriter Wu Yusen wanted to find at the beginning was Lu Wei."
"The script was not written by Lu Wei, right?"
Zhou Yutang asked curiously .
Lu Wei is a real great god. His book "Farewell My Concubine" put Poet Chen on the altar in one step.
"It was not settled. At that time, Lu Wei asked Wu Yusen what the core theme of the Battle of Red Cliff was. Wu Yusen said peace. Lu Wei asked again which character he wanted to be the main core. Wu Yusen said small Joe"
"."
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched.
There is everything in the Three Kingdoms, but there is no peace.
He remembered the classic scene he saw in the cinema with Liu Shishi: Xiao Qiao, played by Zhou Yu and Lin Zhilin, was thinking about naming the horse. Zhou Yu said: "It was born in the land of Jingchu, and the name It must be reflected in it." Sister Zhilin thought for a long time and said, "Let's call it Mengmeng."
Mengmeng, stand up.
According to Mr. Han, this scene was written by Wu Yusen’s wife.
This movie has had nine screenwriters, and confusion in the plot is inevitable.
Anyway, Zhou Yutang is very dissatisfied with this group of Xiangjiang directors in making such magnificent historical themes. The magnificent war scenes can give the feeling of a gang fight.
These remnants of the old era, there is no ship to carry them in the new era.
…………………………
Liu Shishi flew back to Shanghai after watching the movie. The first sister of the Tang Dynasty now has a lot of announcements.
Zhou Yutang is also busy with Olympic singing rehearsals and special film training.
Simple and fulfilling time time always flies by.
July passed in a blink of an eye, and finally the day came that attracted the attention of the whole world.
Zhou Yutang specifically asked Mr. Han for two additional internal tickets to the core area, so that Zhou Zhengping and Wang Fengqin could watch the event in person.
When time turns to that moment.
The gorgeous fireworks circle the stadium and bloom like flowers above the Bird's Nest.
A huge sundial emerged, and the light of time emitted by the sundial lit up the giant canopy array.
When thousands of people beat their fou and shouted, Zhou Yutang stood at the scene.
He really felt the resonance frequency of thousands of people, and even the earth was shaking slightly.
That kind of magnificent scene shocked Zhou Yutang so much that he couldn't help but admire him.
To play in such a big scene, you have to be a national master.
In other words, Zhang Yimou and the entire behind-the-scenes team are the biggest contributors.
They spent several years conceiving the layout. Starting from the opening ceremony, every second was full of the wonderful thoughts and romance of the Chinese people.
The skill of movable type printing shocked everyone. The scroll was unrolled, the sacred fire was lit, and Zhou Yutang's blood began to boil faintly.
These few exquisite programs, in a sense, tell the story of the inheritance of China's five thousand years of splendid culture, and also symbolize the rich heritage of this great family.
In Director Zhang’s words, “different snowflakes from all over the world gathered in the capital and became a common snowflake for mankind.”
Before today, the Celestial Dynasty was in a period of dormant development. He didn’t open his country’s door to look at the whole world.
Chinese people’s vision has always been limited to the previous era.
Many people have a strange mentality.
I feel that China is backward, while the moon in foreign countries is particularly round, and even the air in America is sweet.
But after this world-famous event, the eyes of the entire world will gradually focus on this big eastern country, and some people will gradually wake up.
"Hello, Mr. Liu Huan."
Zhou Yutang also met the great artist Mr. Liu Huan, who sang with British singer Sarah Brightman at the opening ceremony, and greeted him politely A hello.
“Haha, hello, Xiao Zhou.”
Teacher Liu Huan was kind-hearted and fat. He took the initiative to say hello to Zhou Yutang, shook hands and hugged him, and patted him on the shoulder familiarly.
The two sat and chatted for a while backstage, and then asked him to perform well during the closing ceremony, which made Zhou Yutang a little flattered.
"Brother Huan, why are you so polite to that boy?"
On the way back, Brother Huan's assistant was a little surprised.
According to Liu Huan’s status in the music industry, younger generations should take the initiative to greet him.
"Haha, this little Zhou, Datian listened."
Liu Huan pointed to the roof of the car with a chubby finger with a smile.
“Hold the grass!”
The assistant only uttered one word.
The status of Jianghu is very important, but sometimes it is not important.
The big leader thinks that person is a talent, and that is someone who needs to be a good friend.
…………………………
“Yu Tang, do you know Liu Huan? He talked to you for a long time yesterday.”
Jiangdong Work In the room, Li Shuang looked at Zhou Yutang suspiciously for a long time.
“I really don’t know you.”
Zhou Yutang was also confused, but he quickly came to his senses: "I remember Mr. Han said that some leaders are very optimistic about me, and it may have something to do with it."
"It's possible that Teacher Liu Huan is also a veteran. After I met you, I will go on more variety shows. Yang Mi and Tang Yan went on variety shows like crazy last month, bringing a lot of traffic to the show "Classmate""
"By the way, Sister Shuang"
Just as he was thinking about Teacher Liu Huan’s amiable smile and listening to Li Shuang talking about variety shows, Zhou Yutang had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He suddenly sat upright in the office chair and asked slightly excitedly: "What do you mean about Jiangdong?" How about a variety show in the studio?”
“A variety show?”
Li Shuang was slightly stunned: "What type of variety show?" "It's a music talent talent show."
Zhou Yutang took a piece of paper and drew a few strokes on it: "Look , here is the stage, and then below is the judges’ seat. They sit on a specially designed chair, let their backs to the stage, and only listen to the singer singing on the stage.”
“If the singer’s singing on the stage can impress the judges, Then the judges press a switch on the chair to turn it around."
"This model is a bit novel."
Li Shuang originally just listened, but unexpectedly he was attracted immediately: "Yu Tang, I roughly understand what you mean. Let the judges choose the singer not based on his appearance, but only based on his singing voice. What happens next?" < br>
“After?”
Zhou Yutang chuckled: “Let a few judges be mentors, and those selected by him will join his team, and then after each mentor team is full, they will enter the third team. The second stage. "
"The second stage is for the instructor to let the members of his team perform on the same stage and then select the most potential and outstanding members."
“Then the PK between several tutor teams will begin to see which team’s students can gain more recognition from the audience.”
"Listening to what you said, I'm already looking forward to this program."
Li Shuang listened in fascination and also raised a question: "Yu Tang, but there is a very important question. We are not a TV station. Even if The program was made, but there was no place to broadcast it in the end? "
"What does it matter?"
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "We can find someone to work with, this program just depends on it. We can’t afford it in our own studio. I just calculated that the initial investment will be at least 100 million.”
“100 million?”
Li Shuang's pupils were shocked.
“Yes.”
Zhou Yutang said slowly: “According to my idea, this program needs to be done well, and the audio equipment needs to be bought from abroad. In addition, several people have to be hired. A highly respected mentor is also a big expense."
"You are really playing a big role."
Li Shuang murmured: "The production costs of Super Girl and Fast Boy are not that expensive. Who are you planning to work with? Mango TV has a good relationship with you.”
"I can produce it myself."
"Yu Tang, although this program sounds very attractive, I still hope you can consider it carefully. Now Jiangdong Studio is not ready to just invest 100 million in it. It’s the stage of a variety show.”
Li Shuang advised tactfully.
The studio has tens of millions of working capital on its books, and several hit dramas still have a lot of subsequent income due to the long tail effect.
You can get 100 million even if you bite the bullet and get a loan from the bank.
But how is this different from gambling?
Li Shuang, who pursues stability and progress, of course wants to give advice.
Zhou Yutang smiled mysteriously: "Sister Shuang, you will know in two days."
…………………………………………
These two Tianzhou Yutang has been practicing hard according to Yu Lao's method, and he has not fallen behind in the gym. He also takes time to watch the Olympic Games with Lao Zhou and Ms. Wang.
Lianshun took us around the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and several scenic spots in the capital.
For Ms. Wang Fengqin, who grew up in the south, seeing a different world was so novel and joyful that needless to say.
Mainly because I saw that Zhou Yutang was promising, and I felt even more pleased.
Lao Zhou bought a batch of Olympic souvenirs to take back and prepare to give to students in local impoverished primary schools.
Zhou Yutang’s project to help local poor students was handed over to Zhou Zhengping and was in good condition.
Two days later.
Tian Ming arrived in Beijing.
This time he brought Zhu Jie to Beijing to watch the Olympic Games.
When I arrived in the capital, I called Zhou Yutang directly, and the two got together as usual.
"Yu Tang, how was the later stage of the drama "Latent"?"
"The later stage will be completed this month, and it is estimated that the trial broadcast will be almost ready by October."
"Now the whole circle is watching your project. Please remember to say hello to any projects next time. I am very interested. Cooperate with you."
Tian Ming smiled.
The name of a person is the shadow of a tree.
The golden name of Jiangdong Studio has been launched. "Latent" has attracted a lot of attention before filming started. Several TV stations are still thinking of starting in advance, but Zhou Yutang did not nod.
The theme of the main theme belongs to the film and television category strongly advocated above. With the quality of the drama "Latent", there is no need to worry about selling it. It is better to wait for the completion of the film and wait for several TV stations to bid for it and make a lot of money.
"Brother Ming, when you talk about the project, I have an idea."
Zhou Yutang said directly: "How about we do a variety show together?"
Zaishuang When my sister said that she needed a front-line cooperation platform, he immediately thought of Tian Ming.
If this program is successful and very profitable, it will definitely attract some people's covetous attention.
Then someone with a background is needed to protect him. Tian Ming's background is unfathomable and he is a good partner.
“Tell me about it.”
Tian Ming was also slightly stunned and made a listening gesture. After listening to Zhou Yutang finish explaining part of the variety show process, he immediately became interested.
"This idea is very interesting. It can be said that it is a music competition program that has never appeared in China. It is also a highlight to discover amateurs through auditions."
Tian Ming burst out from behind his glasses. Two groups of bright lights: "But the investment is not small, top foreign audio equipment, and hiring a music instructor. What do you want to do?"
"We will do it together, one person and half, and then we will make it and sell it to the TV station."
"It can be operated."
Tian Ming is a professional after all, and he quickly noticed the business opportunity: "Talent shows have disappeared this year. If this show is done well, it will definitely capture the young audience's ratings market. But there are some details that I think are not perfect enough."
"For example, what you said In the first session, I think there can be more interaction between the host and the singers to make it more interesting.”
“In this case, we can have an off-site connection in the first session and let the audience know when the time comes. Those singers who advance from the audition to the blind audition can bring their relatives or friends.”
Zhou Yutang added: "Insert some interview clips, and you can also place cameras in the background to record the expressions of relatives and friends when some players are selected by the instructor or when no one turns around for them. You can also record the interaction between the instructors competing for students, which can mobilize the audience very well. The emotions can also make the program more exciting."
"In the second round, we can film some tutors recording and making music with their students, and some life clips of the adaptation process, so that the audience can see the real In terms of living conditions, I also saw that the tutors really carefully trained the students, and then let them compete in pairs. Whoever can win will be able to move to the next step."
"Yu Tang"
Tian Ming slapped his thigh and couldn't help but laugh: "You have so many ideas, why don't you stop being a star and just do a show with me."
"Brother Ming, I'll forget it. ”
Zhou Yutang shook his head: "I can make some money by doing this show. My main business is film and television projects. When the Olympics are over, I still have a movie to make."
"What did the instructor of the show say?"< br>
“Four please, let’s divide them into four groups.”
“That’s it, two from the mainland, one from Xiangjiang, and one from Benzhou.”
Tian Ming pushed The glasses on the bridge of his nose looked at Zhou Yutang's slightly stunned expression: "It's good for unity. What do you think of the specific candidates?"
He is worthy of being a talent cultivated by a big family. With this kind of ideological consciousness, if you don’t rise to the top, who will?
Zhou Yutang was very impressed and suggested: "As for the tutor, he must have a certain degree of popularity and high moral prestige. In the mainland, you can ask Liu Huan, Wang Fei, Xiangjiang Chen Yixun or Zhang Xueyou. If you want to save money, it is best to ask Zhou Jielun. The next step is Harlem, who is very good at stirring up the atmosphere.”
“The princess has already quit the industry, will she still come out to do shows?”
“It’s not enough to spend millions. Then spend 10 million, I really don’t believe that she can’t be moved. If she really doesn’t want to live in a world, then invite someone else.”
Zhou Yutang disagreed.
Money is still very valuable these days.
The endorsement fees of superstars like Fa Ge and Andy Lau from Tianchao Xiangjiang will not exceed 10 million a year.
"Hot Ying?"
"This is not very good. She is famous enough, but the background is too complicated and it is easy to cause problems. If not, please invite Mao Amin, a sister in the music scene in the 1990s. Then the ratings will be I want all three generations of old, middle and young people to kill this one!”
“If there is a leader, my old man likes this one”
Tian Ming pushed up his glasses and said happily: "A Tang, I will talk to the TV station first about the name of our program."
"Just call it Good Voice, Good Voice from China."
“This is a good name!”
Tian Ming was very excited, he seemed to have seen the huge potential of this show.
Zhou Yutang looked calm.
Just said silently in my heart.
This is my good voice from China.
