Chapter 153 Breaking the box office record, the gentle and proactive Liu Shishi
Zhou Yutang directly posted a short composition on his blog.
Now his blog has very high traffic, and the accumulated clicks have exceeded 100 million.
Only slightly inferior to the early blog queen Xu Jinglei, similar to Han Han.
Of course.
The blog only has high traffic, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the 250,000 Jiangdong naval forces in Zhou Yutang's post forum are the most powerful.
The early days of Baidu Tieba were quite fierce. The Emperor Bar went out to fight, and not even a blade of grass grew. Even the popular Super Girl Champion Li Yuchun Bar was maxed out.
The blog post was quickly forwarded to his personal post by fans.
It caused a great response.
The number of fans in Zhou Yutang's personal post bar is far greater than that of Bu Shenba, but his fighting power is also quite strong, so he chose to start charging directly that night:
"It's rare to see the governor go berserk."
"Lu Chuan is such a stinky fish and rotten shrimp. If you dare to offend the governor, you will die!"
"A man with great ambition and talent, who deceives the world and steals fame, is still serving Japan. Are you really a human being?"
"The media boasted that he has the potential to become a film master. He didn't really believe it, did he?"
"What the governor said? Well, it’s disgusting that Lu Chuan wants to use such a heavy subject for speculation!”
"Please, stop scolding, otherwise Director Lu will cry again."
There is no suspense about the result.
Lu Chuan’s blog and social media were directly destroyed.
Even Lu Tianming, an old-school literati who posted a few posts in support of the blog, was affected and driven into isolation.
This incident has caused quite a stir, and in terms of impact, it is much more lively than the verbal spat between Han Han and the literati in 2006.
At that time, the dispute between Han and Bai was limited to the literary world. The literary circle was very small and its influence was naturally not as strong as that of the entertainment industry. Moreover, Zhou Yutang's "The Lonely Agent" is now a real phenomenon-level hit movie.
Also at this time.
Lu Wei, the top screenwriter in the industry, also stood up and spoke out: "To this day, the Neon people are still covering up this period of history from their own people, and Lu Chuan's thoughts are also distorted like the Neon people. History is such an upside-down and arrogant subject. I only ask, after you die, how will you face the 300,000 dead souls? How will you face the hundreds of millions of people whose hearts are still crying? "
< br>He deserves to be a gold medal screenwriter. Every word and every word is so inspiring that he directly tears off the last fig leaf from Lu Chuan's face.
Following this, another big shot in the film and television industry, Zheng Xiaolong, also followed suit: "Lu Chuan hurriedly started making blockbusters before he even understood basic common sense, conscience and narrative skills. He was too utilitarian. The values of "Nanjing, Nanjing" Ridiculous, the narrative angle is so confusing that it’s unbelievable.”
Jiang Wen did not want to be alone and posted: "In the process of interacting with Neon people, especially Neon young people, I found that there are many Neon right-wingers who deny the crime of invading China, and they are not a group of people as we often say. A small group is just a small group jumping up and down. If we don't realize this, we have not faced up to the powerful opponent of neon.
Another bad tendency is that some of our literary and artistic works often do so. To apologize to the people of the Neon Dynasty, I don’t understand what Lu Chuan’s “Nanjing! Nanjing!” is trying to express.”
For a moment.
Lu Chuan seems to have become a street rat that everyone shouts about.
Zhou Yutang has finished posting his blog and has a clear idea.
He rarely trolls people unless he can't help it.
I felt quite happy after spraying, and it was considered a response to Lu Chuan’s essay.
Then.
Zhou Yutang did not mention this matter in front of the media.
If I mention it any more, it will make Lu Chuan more popular.
Han Sanping quickly contacted Zhou Yutang with good news.
"Mr. Han, don't joke with me. Are you really a big leader?"
"You're really not kidding me. Lu Chuan got smart and made things worse this time. The big leader has spoken," "Nanjing" will be released in a few days."
"What did you say?"
"Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."
"."
Listening to Jun's words, Zhou Yutang felt that his thoughts had been baptized and his realm had improved a lot.
This is the significance of co-production between the two places.
His "Agent" hired a lot of actors from Hong Kong, and the crew was very careful with the photography and lighting.
There are several layers of BUFF stacked up.
It's not that Zhou Yutang expected someone like Lu Tianming to jump out in advance.
But this is how he is used to doing things.
Be brave and diligent and walk on thin ice.
That’s why we have progressed from nothing to where we are now.
Strictly speaking, if "The Lonely Agent" is shot in the Mainland, there is a real possibility that it will not pass the review, or that a lot of content will need to be deleted.
Therefore, the several layers of buffs that Zhou Yutang had superimposed in advance were equivalent to creating an invincible golden body for him.
Lu Chuan was killed by the power of magic this time.
But strictly speaking, there are really problems with his movie.
And the problem is huge.
…………………………
On May 1st, the box office of "The Alone Agent" bucked the trend and grossed 51 million!
On May 2nd, the box office made 48 million!
On May 3rd, the box office on that day was 46 million!
The three-day May Day holiday set off a movie-watching frenzy, with the total box office of "The Lonely Agent" reaching 145 million.
Fatty Wang's "Empire of Money" was released on May Day, with only 3 million on the first day, and a box office of 7 million in the three days of the holiday.
At this time, the theater chain received the news from above that Lu Chuan's movies had been gradually removed from the shelves.
The film schedule of Zhou Yutang's "The Lonely Agent" directly reached over 75%.
This is almost the same treatment as the national teacher when "The Golden Armor" was released.
God blocks and kills God!
Under such favorable conditions of the right time, place and people, the 340 million box office of "If You Are the One" was directly broken without any suspense.
Less than half a month after its release, "The Lonely Agent" has successfully exceeded 400 million in box office, breaking the box office record of Chinese movies!
For a moment, the circle was shaken.
Feng Xiaogang couldn't sit still.
He didn't even get the chance to win the box office championship of "If You Are the One", but was immediately dethroned by Zhou Yutang.
And this is still in hot release, and there is still a certain potential that can be tapped.
This kid wants to go to heaven! ?
The little steel cannon, who was itchy and unbearable, took his wife into the cinema to watch it again.
When he came out of the cinema, Feng Xiaogang asked Xu Fan: "How do you feel after watching this movie?"
At this time, Xiaogangpao was still a very down-to-earth director.
As for his understanding of movies, he has always believed that the audience’s viewing experience is the first priority.
That's why Xu Fan was asked to talk about the experience and perception from the perspective of a movie viewer.
"Zhou Yutang's performance is really good."
Xu Fan seemed to be still recalling the wonderful moments in the movie, and said with emotion: "Well, the feeling this movie gave me, it seems "Very cool"
"Very cool?"
Feng Xiaogang nodded slightly, as if he was deep in thought.
Xu Fan's expression was slightly excited: "It's not just an action movie, some of the details in the movie are very well done, the plot is very touching, and there's also Zhou Yutang's acting skills and explosive power"
Xu Fan pulled Feng Xiaogang's sleeve and brought him back to reality, "Old Feng, what do you say?"
"What else can I say?"
Feng Xiaogang was a little helpless. He shook his head: "There are no sophisticated techniques in this movie. It can be shot with a dog! The key is Zhou Yutang!"
"If another person were to star in this movie, even Jackie Chan would not It may have such a high box office. I heard Lao Zhang said that he made the script of this movie himself. This guy is really a monster.”
"That's true."
Xu Fan couldn't help but be happy.
It’s not that Jackie Chan’s acting skills and action scenes are worse than Zhou Yutang’s.
But the style is different.
"Agent" is not an ordinary action movie. When Zhou Yutang turned into a suit thug and a killing weapon, he relied on his looks and temperament to make this action drama better. The smell of a fashion blockbuster is a unique feeling.
Xiaogangpao is a very smart person.
Also a very capable director.
Otherwise, he would not have climbed from an ordinary alley boy to his current position as one of the three major directors in China.
“Damn it.”
Touching his crew cut, Feng Xiaogang bared his teeth and said: “It’s only been half a year since I was proud, and someone has already ruined my golden body. The key is to give it back to my mother. It’s really not unfair to lose. Dasha
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
On the way home, Xiaogang Pao dismantled the movie with a little excitement and learned the reasons for its success.
Xu Fan looked at the man beside him, shook his head and chuckled.
Based on her understanding of Xiaogangpao, not only is he looking higher than his head, but he can also be said to be looking down on the film industry.
Feng Xiaogang is no longer the cautious person he was before.
But even such an arrogant little steel cannon can give such an evaluation.
This young man is indeed extraordinary.
…………………………
“Mr. Zhou, congratulations on the box office exceeding 400 million.”
When I walked into Mingjie Company, there were a lot of employees Congratulations to Zhou Yutang with a respectful attitude.
Everyone knew that this person was one of the big bosses of the company, and there were even several bold female employees with exquisite makeup who made secret glances at Zhou Yutang. After all, it’s not easy to find a hexagonal male god who has good looks, money, and status.
If you can get close to it, then you will fly on the branch and become a phoenix.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yutang didn't seem to notice their diligence. He just nodded slightly and walked straight into Zhang Yibei's office.
Now Zhang Yibei is also the variety show department manager here. Her main task is to be responsible for the connection between Jiangdong Entertainment Company and Mingjie Company. She is responsible for the "I Am a Singer" program cooperating with Mango Channel. plate.
"The boss is so powerful, he has set a box office record for Chinese movies!"
"Sister Bei, please stop flattering me. How are you doing with Mingjie Company?"
"The communication is almost done. "
Zhang Yibei came over with a stack of information: "We have already negotiated with Mango TV. Now we need to make preliminary preparations, and we will probably wait until October to start recording and broadcasting. "
"I. The specific cooperation model of "Is a Singer" is also based on the program "The Voice" and signed a ratings betting contract.
In fact, gambling contracts are very common in the entertainment industry.
After all, the project involves huge interests, and neither party is willing to suffer losses. The gambling contract can achieve results that make both parties relatively satisfied.
“The program "Singer" requires a good voice. I want the best stage, invite the best band to sing, and the lights cannot be lowered. In addition, the strength of Xiangtai is not as good as that of Magic. The TV stations are all bad, but these conditions can still be achieved."
Zhang Yibei recorded Zhou Yutang's request and asked: "Boss, someone used Huayi's relationship to recommend Shangwen to us. Jie, you want her to be an invited singer, should we consider letting her join?”
“Shang Wenjie? This is Super Girl, right?”
"Yes, the 2006 Supergirl champion seems to have someone covering her."
"Is her singing skills very good?"
"It's okay, but it's definitely not as good as some top singers. .”
“Then don’t consider it.”
Zhou Yutang sat on the leather sofa and crossed his legs, rejecting it directly.
"I think Zhang Liangying is pretty good."
"Is he your friend, the boss?"
Zhang Yibei tentatively asked.
She is also a seasoned person, and has a very good handle on people and sophistication.
The boss mentioned it, so he will definitely take care of it when the time comes.
"I don't know Zhang Liangying, but I simply recognize her singing skills."
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched: "Besides, let me reiterate again, this is a music variety show that competes with The Voice. Even if the ratings of the first episode are not comparable, all requirements must be in accordance with the standards of The Voice.”
“Singing skills are given priority for participating singers. It doesn’t matter what their background is. If someone comes to trouble you, Just call me and I’ll take care of it.”
“The boss is domineering.”
Zhang Yibei smiled and flattered her.
Before joining Jiangdong Company, he thought Zhou Yutang might just be a popular star, but he also had talents in investment and variety show planning.
But after joining Zhou Yutang’s staff, I found that it was not that simple.
This young man has developed a very strong relationship network, including Han Sanping from China Film Group and Tian Ming, the CEO of Mingjie Company, all of whom have a close relationship with him.
No wonder he has the confidence not to give face to Huayi Company.
“As for singers, apart from Jane Zhang, is there anyone else the boss is optimistic about?”
"In terms of candidates, I suggest you consider Lin Zhixuan, Zhou Chuanxiong is also good."
Zhou Yutang is not involved in the music industry, but he still knows the powerful singers in the circle.
Lin Zhixuan, Zhou Chuanxiong and others are indeed capable singers, and they are very suitable for the stage where I am a singer.
The most important thing is that it is not too popular at the moment, so the appearance fee for them does not need to be too high.
Having been meeting all afternoon, it was almost time for dinner.
Zhou Yutang took Zhang Yibei and Tian Ming to have a meal at a private restaurant in Shanghai.
“The Voice Season 2 is ready to launch in July. The scale of the auditions this time is larger than that of the first season. Even singers from Hong Kong and Wan Province are participating. There are still many good ones. Miao Zi’s mentors are still Liu Huan, Wang Fei, Zhou Jielun and Chen Yixun, but this time there is a player with a special background, and we may need to do some insider work.”
“Brother Ming, what’s his background?”< br>
"Haha, the girl from the Ye family is very interested in music. She is also a fan of yours and wants to come to the Good Voice to play."
Tian Ming chuckled softly.
"Then just watch the operation."
Zhou Yutang choked up.
He has such fans, that is really impressive.
This girl has a real background and is worthy of a little capriciousness in power.
In ancient times, there were people who accompanied the prince to study, but now there are people who accompany the princess to sing.
certainly.
It’s not that I’m recommending her to win the championship, I’m just letting her advance, and then let a few instructors do rainbow farts, praise the girl more, and let her have fun on the stage.
From this It can also be seen that as a national variety show, the influence of "The Voice" is not limited to the mainland.
The response to this audition in both Wan Province and Xiangjiang was extremely enthusiastic. This young lady settled in Xiangjiang, participated in the audition, and came to participate in the show.
“The auditions in South Korea were completed last month, and the first episode has been aired so far, with a ratings of 17%. It is considered a high-quality variety show, and it is also highly discussed there. I heard that your movie is also going to be released in South Korea. When will you go there to see it?”
"Just wait a few days. Domestic movie box office is the basic market."
"This movie is really good. Xiaojie and I have both gone to see it three times. The movie box office will soon exceed 500 million. Congratulations. ”
“Thank you, Brother Ming.”
“By the way, there is another thing I almost forgot to mention. My old man gave me a death order and asked me to be a lobbyist. I have to leave some share for the Shanghai Film Group in my next movie project.”
“.”
I communicated with Tian Ming for a while and made arrangements for the variety show.
Everything is running in an orderly manner.
Zhou Yutang ended her road show promotion in Shanghai ahead of schedule today, giving herself a day off.
It is said that a goodbye is better than a new marriage. I haven’t seen Liu Shishi for a long time and I miss her a little.
Two people came out of the cinema fully armed.
Liu Shishi sounded a little excited: "Yu Tang, do you think there is hope that the box office will exceed 600 million?"
Blind sister, do you really dare to think about it?
Zhou Yutang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is definitely no hope."
This is the objective reality.
The crazy hype in the early stage, coupled with the passionate confrontation with Lu Chuan, has overdrawn most of the potential of "Agent".
Almost all the viewers who should watch it have watched it.
At present, the total number of screens in mainstream theaters across the country does not exceed 5,000, and another very important reason is the existence of piracy.
Generally, about half a month after a movie is released, pirated copies will leak out online, which will cause great harm to the movie box office.
These two conditions greatly restrict the box office ceiling.
So Zhou Yutang desperately wanted to get off to an explosive start, and only after he had taken advantage of the right time, place and people did he expect the box office to be 400 million.
Now being able to hit 500 million is already a surprise beyond expectations.
"It's also very good. The box office record of Tianchao movies has suddenly increased by more than 100 million."
"You didn't see Sister Cai's expression. She is very concerned about your movie. I have to ask about the box office of the movie almost every day."
Liu Shishi held Zhou Yutang's arm and happily shared with him his daily life in the Shanghai Theater.
Tian Ming has great reputation in Modutan.
Through his connections, Zhou Yutang found a teacher for Liu Shishi who was a senior female professor at the Shanghai Theater Theater. She was also a national first-class actor and received a special allowance from the State Council.
Her nature is also a girl with a bit of Buddhist tradition, but after getting close to Zhou Yutang, she seems to have become more motivated.
Zhou Yutang has some followers in private The female professor communicated and understood Liu Shishi's study progress.
Facts proved.
The addition of Xiao Zao when acting in dramas is a great improvement for an actor with a poor foundation like Liu Shishi.
"Shi Shi, are you familiar with Lei Datou?"
"Yeah, they are both from the theater. Lei Datou and Guo Jingfei, who has a big head, are both very funny."
Liu Shishi chuckled and said: "Lei Datou said last time that he wanted to treat you to dinner, flatter you, and prepare to hang out with you in the future."
"Lei Datou is still so out of character. ."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed when he thought about his interactions with the crew of "Those Years".
Lei Datou's acting skills are very good, but in life he is just a joke.
After returning to Liu Shishi’s house, talking and laughing all the way, Zhou Yutang was wondering whether he should buy a house in Shanghai.
Ms. Wang Fengqin’s clothing factory is in Kunshan, and the designer studio she works with is in Shanghai, so she often travels back and forth between the two places.
I can live in an apartment by myself, and sometimes my mother can have a place to stay here.
Zhou Yutang was very capable and sent a message directly to Zhang Yiming.
Jiujiufang is located in major cities across the country. Cities such as the Magic City naturally have channels for housing supply.
There is no rush to explain this matter.
As soon as he entered the door and wanted to lift his legs to change his shoes, Zhou Yutang watched Liu Shishi squat down and took a brand new pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet to help him put them on.
What's going on?
Why is she so proactive tonight! ?
