Chapter 237 A girl with spiritual energy, explosive reputation
The news that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was sold at a sky-high price, people outside the industry just watched the excitement and took advantage of it.
But those who are interested in the circle have already taken action.
At that time, several film and television companies announced the project of a Qing palace drama. Tang Dynasty's "Step by Step Shocking" was the first to start filming and get the first shot. There was also another company that acted equally quickly.
"In "Palace" produced by Yu Zheng Studio, please ask Yang Mi to play the heroine?"
Zhou Yutang was not surprised when he heard the news brought by Li Shuang.
After the project of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was established, there were many news about palace dramas, and Yu Zheng was one of them.
This is also a talented person. He has made a Qing palace drama script and is preparing to start filming immediately.
The heroine of this kind of palace drama naturally needs to be a popular online actress to handle the ratings.
There is Liu Shishi in "Bu Bu Jing Xin", and the only one who can compete with Liu Shishi is Yang Mi.
"Yu Tang, do you want to ask the artist management department to get back to you?"
"No need."
Zhou Yutang smiled lightly: "The filming of "Step by Step" has started. It will definitely be aired first, so that others can have a drink, but Yang Mi’s asking price can be raised slightly.”
“Mimi, there is a new drama, you are the heroine!”
After receiving the notice from Jiangdong Entertainment, manager Zeng Jia excitedly found Yang Mi immediately.
Although Yang Mi was happy in her heart, she didn't show it. She picked up the phone and said, "It's Yu Zheng's "Palace". I'll call Yu Tang first and see what he says."
In the past, I I only know that Leng Tou was reckless and worked hard to perform, but later I found out that it was not as important as Zhou Yutang's words.
After following Zhou Yutang, Yang Mi also became smarter.
And after the ambiguous incident in the cafe, it seems that he has relaxed a little. Now that he has a project, he must call Zhou Yutang first to ask for his thoughts and opinions.
A few minutes passed.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi nodded to Zeng Jia with a smile on her face: "Sister Jia, Yu Tang said he could pick it up. He wants me to accompany him to a dinner party in two days and said he would introduce me to some friends."
“Congratulations, Mi Mi.”
Zeng Jia was slightly startled, then overjoyed: “It’s about to take off.”
Zhou Yutang brought Yang Mi to the dinner , casually introduce some producers and directors in the circle, these are valuable resources.
…………………………
The aftermath of "Earthquake" finally dissipated, and the final box office was fixed at 670 million.
Zhou Yutang was invited to attend the celebration banquet of "Earthquake".
Beijing, Hilton Hotel.
Wang Zhonglei held Xiaogangpao's shoulders and stood on the high platform. Facing the eyes of everyone looking up at him, he felt a little elated:
"Hua Yi and Xiaogang have achieved mutual success. Yes, the record of "The Great Earthquake" is placed here, which is a kind of perfection for Xiaogang, and for Huayi, it may not be less than perfection."
Balabala talked a lot.
First of all, let’s remember the bitterness and remember the sweetness, but the focus is still on showing off.
Making a movie means all the people are silent.
Even giants like Huayi Company sometimes suffer losses.
Some time ago, Spy Heroes lost more than 20 million U.S. dollars. Zhou Yutang met Wang Zhonglei at an event. His face dropped and he lost a lot of his hair in worry.
More than 20 million US dollars is not more than 2,000 yuan.
Probably equivalent to Huayi’s profit for the entire year before it went public.
Moreover, the company's stock price continued to plummet during that period, and the two Wang brothers' net worth evaporated a lot. This time "Earthquake" can be regarded as proud and proud.
It created a box office record for Chinese movies. Although there was a lot of criticism about this result, investors seemed to be more confident, and Huayi Company's stock price also rose accordingly.
The ancients said that if wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking in brocade at night.
The high-spirited Wang Zhonglei gave up the stage of showing off to the little steel cannon.
Of course he also noticed Zhou Yutang, took the initiative to put on a smile, walked over and put his arm around Zhou Yutang's shoulders affectionately: "Yu Tang, it's so difficult to invite you here."
Insiders Everybody knows.
Compared with ordinary celebrities who are keen on attending parties and banquets, Zhou Yutang does not like to attend such occasions.
If you are not a close friend, it is difficult to see him.
Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, congratulations on the box office sales. This is Yang Mi from my company."
Yang Mi greeted her with discernment: "Mr. Wang, hello."
< br>"Well, you're good."
Looking at Yang Mi, who was holding Zhou Yutang's arm, Wang Zhonglei understood instantly and showed a smile that every man knows: "Yu Tang, your movie, publicity work It's very well done. I saw the trailer and it's really exciting."
"Mr. Wang, you're welcome. "Tongtian Empire" is the one that is highly anticipated."
"Haha, I hope we don't lose too badly when we meet on National Day."
Although everyone has smiles on their faces, and they are talking about each other's business, there is some truth and some falsehood, but only the parties involved knew.
Yang Mi held Zhou Yutang’s arm obediently.
She is not suitable to interrupt in such a conversation between big shots.
Wang Zhonglei was one of the protagonists tonight, so he was naturally very busy. After a while, he heard someone looking for him over there, said hello, and then left.
Wait until he leaves.
Yang Micai came over and asked in Zhou Yutang's ear: "Yu Tang, why do I feel that he is showing off?"
"Your feeling is not wrong."
Zhou Yutang smiled.
Compared to Mr. Wang’s calm personality, Mr. Xiao is obviously a bit wanton.
From his standpoint, the 670 million box office of "Earthquake" made Huayi Company the ceiling of the Chinese movie box office. He and Feng Xiaogang also appeared on stage and received the attention and applause of countless people.
Really proud.
As for the National Day event, don’t lose too badly?
It is estimated that Wang Zhonglei, who was a little arrogant at this time, did not mean what he said.
Some time ago, the publicity releases were all over the place, and they were all promoting that "Tongtian Empire" was pointing at the Golden Lion.
Damimi felt a soft touch on Zhou Yutang's arm, and supported him with a sweet voice: "I think "Big Shot" will definitely have a higher box office than "Bongtian Empire", and I will try to break Huayi's record."
After following Zhou Yutang, Yang Mi tasted a lot of benefits and subconsciously classified herself into the Jiangdong camp.
In the past, I would definitely not have said anything to offend Hua Yi.
Zhou Yutang was keenly aware of this, but did not say much.
Because soon many people came to look for him.
Wang Jinghua, Chen Guofu, Big Dog Brother and other famous people came to see him one after another, talking about the screening of "Big Shot" in the next few days.
Yang Mi has a deeper understanding of Zhou Yutang's connections.
Social greeting circle.
Zhou Yutang chatted with Huang Xiaoming again.
“Brother Xiao Ming, what’s going on?”
Zhou Yutang looked at the mature and beautiful woman brought by Huang Xiaoming and seemed to be talking to Yang Mi about something. The two women laughed wildly and looked a little confused.
Huang Xiaoming patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder and smiled: "It's the situation you thought about."
"When did you get better?"
"It's just you. That night at the pony club. "
Huang Xiaoming laughed: "That night, she drank too much, and I went to pick her up, and then she suddenly cried. What was supposed to happen next happened suddenly. ”
No wonder.
Qin Lan is no longer in the cast of Lu Chuan's new movie "The King's Feast".
Zhou Yutang didn't say much about this.
Can old dreams come true again?
He doesn’t know either.
But we are all adults and have our own way of thinking and doing things.
Huang Xiaoming will make his own decisions on emotional matters.
As friends.
I can only say that I stood by him at the critical moment.
Huang Xiaoming has reached an agreement with Huayi that the contract will not be renewed after it expires.
The two parties broke up amicably. At that time, he will set up his own independent studio and will star in the blockbuster "Anti-Drug" co-produced by the two places.
The two brothers skipped this topic with a tacit understanding, and talked more about the company's operation and development.
Huang Xiaoming asked Zhou Yutang for advice.
After all, he was able to start from scratch and develop his studio into an entertainment company of today's size in just a few years, which has been regarded as a miracle by many people in the entertainment industry.
"Uncle."
Zhang Zifeng is wearing a princess dress and looks so cute.
Compared to when she was filming "The Alone Agent", the little girl seems to have grown a lot taller, but her face also seems to be much rounder.
Zhou Yutang picked her up and pinched her round face, making the little girl giggle.
"This child is really naughty. He took a day off from school today to attend the dinner. I am very happy."
Mother Zhang also said to Zhou Yutang with a hint of gratitude: " Mr. Zhou, thank you for recommending Zifeng to Director Feng”
"Sister Zifeng is very spiritual."
Zhou Yutang hugged Zhang Zifeng and smiled lightly: "The future is bright."
With his stunning performance in "The Lonely Agent", Zhou Yutang won gold medals consecutively Nobel Prize winner and Best Actor Award winner.
Zhang Zifeng also became the youngest winner in the history of the Golden Goblet Award and Golden Horse Award.
Attracting countless attention from inside and outside the circle, the number of fans is even more than that of some female celebrities.
Moreover, the age range of her fans is quite broad. Most of them are fans of her parents, who are a bit like raising their own daughters. They all especially like this little girl's amazing performance in "The Lonely Agent" and her performance in "Big Earthquake". Remarkable.
Mother Zhang has heard some words many times.
But what she said from Zhou Yutang's mouth made her very happy, and she chatted with Zhou Yutang about the trivial things during the filming of "Earthquake".
In fact, Zhou Yutang and Zhang Ruojun also chatted from time to time, and heard Xigou talking about sister Zifeng.
During the filming period, the weather was very cold. The crew gave Zifeng’s sister warm babies, and she shared them with other extras, including Zhang Ruojun. During the filming, He is also very tenacious when encountering difficulties. It can be said that he was born to eat this kind of rice.
Such a kind and sensible little girl is really endearing.
Zhou Yutang hugged Zhang Zifeng and thought of the little koi.
This girl worked hard and worked hard to get into the No. 2 Middle School. He also kept his promise and specially greeted Tian Ming, and then planned to transfer the little koi to the magic city to go to school.
Since she is interested in pursuing an acting career, she must cultivate her from an early age.
Being good-looking is very important in the entertainment industry.
But you can’t do nothing.
At least the business ability must be decent, otherwise even if Zhou Yutang insists on it, he will be laughed at by a group of people, which is not very interesting.
Little Koi is the youngest artist under Zhou Yutang. She was first given the most basic music and dance training there.
Let’s talk about winning at the starting line.
Strive to carry the banner of Jiangdong Entertainment traffic star in the future. …………………………
The publicity for "Big Shot" has been done in place.
The first shot of the National Day schedule was fired by Zhang Yimou, and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was released first.
The national master is still the national master, and his skills are still there.
This movie has nothing fancy, the overall tone is gloomy, there are no bright colors and lights, there are almost no special effects, and even the story is very simple.
The realistic style is calm and calm, but the true feelings that directly touch people's hearts can be seen from small details.
Using only the simplest film language, it tells a story of pure love.
Zhou Yutang took Zeng Li to the cinema to watch this love movie.
When Zeng Li came out, her eyes were red, and Zhou Yutang comforted her.
There are also mostly positive reviews on the Internet. The national teacher is really good at training actresses.
Zhu Yilong's performance is spot on, and Little Yellow Duck also expresses the character traits of the heroine Jingqiu very well.
The box office on the first day was 12.8 million, which was also the best response from the market. It has broken the first-day box office record for literary films held by Poet Chen, and caused quite a shock in the industry.
Universe Dan and Liu Weiqiang also began to enter into crazy publicity mode, pretending to be in front of the media:
Universe Dan confidently said: "This movie "Fist of Fury", I It was very enjoyable to shoot, and I believe it will bring you a different visual experience. The box office will be at least 500 million."
Liu Weiqiang also said in a crazy tone: ""Fist of Fury" must be a very exciting movie. The target of the blockbuster film is not the literary film directed by Zhang Yimou, the goal is to hit the National Day schedule"
"Just kidding, Zi Dan is Ip Man. He can hit 10. I think this movie can also hit the box office. Whether it is Xu Ke's "The Empire of Heaven" or Zhou Yutang's "Big Shot", I am confident Kill them."
"This is too bragging."
Mao Xiaoyu, who followed Zhou Yutang, couldn't stand it anymore: "Boss, I think you should be conservative, those two. The guy from Xiangjiang is so crazy that he even voted for "Big Shot". How about we also publish a press release to build up the momentum first?"
"No need, the early publicity is almost in place. In a few days, I'm going to the premiere there tomorrow."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a smile, "We'll see, if the tone is too high, it might be difficult to step down in the end."
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, the day of screening of "Big Shot" came.
The Beijing Film Academy is particularly lively.
Zhou Yutang has been on the cover of the Beijing Film Academy’s admissions brochure for several consecutive years and deserves the glory of Nortel. This time, it was screened in the small auditorium of the school, and the queue was full.
The school has already put up a red banner at the gate, and has also hired a group of handsome boys and beautiful female students to serve as volunteers.
Yang Zi, who just entered school this year, pulled Guli Naza in his dormitory and said excitedly: "Naza, thanks to you, I got the ticket."
Zhou Yutang's popularity at Nortel is no joke of.
If it doesn’t matter, I really can’t get this ticket.
Liu Mengmeng also expressed sincerely: "Senior Brother Zhou is really amazing, there are so many stars here."
Today's Nortel can be said to be star-studded.
Except for Zhou Yutang, all the main creators including Hu Jun and Mei Ting were present.
Zeng Li, Zhang Songwen, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruojun, and Li Yao from Jiangdong Entertainment are also here.
Jiang Wen, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Xu Jinglei, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Xu Zheng, Zhang Guoli and others, Wang Jinghua, Chen Daoming and others all came over.
Professional film critics include Zhang Baiqing, Huang Huilin, Fu Hongxing, Zhang Wei, Wang Renyin, Ding Yaping, Peng Jiajin, Chen Xuguang, Wang Xudong, etc. They are not ordinary people.
“Of course, my boss is the best.”
A look of pride appeared on Gulinazha's delicate and beautiful face.
Her eyes were looking for Zhou Yutang's figure, but when she saw the figure among the bright stars, she suddenly felt a little humble.
After all, I didn’t have the nerve to go up and say hello.
At this time, Zhou Yutang had just finished chatting with Jiang Wen.
After a round of greetings, Zhou Yutang and the creative team gave a brief introduction on the stage. Without any more nonsense, they went directly to the film screening.
Everyone here is a professional in the industry.
If the movie is not good, all your hype about it will be of no use.
If the movie is good, these people will naturally help you with it.
The famous film critics sitting in a row began to sit up straight.
The first movie "Those Years" directed and starred by Zhou Yutang has already given everyone a lot of surprises, and now this second movie is also sparing no effort in promoting it.
The trailer has already raised everyone's expectations.
The lawless rich second generation.
Experienced veteran policeman.
Zhou Yutang played Zhao Tairen's arrogance and domineering to a very high level.
Hu Jun also made Sun Dasheng come alive.
The two people gave what can be called classic acting skills.
At the end of the film screening, there was a burst of thunderous applause.
The film critics were all raising their hands to applaud, and they were excitedly communicating with their companions.
Obviously.
Zhou Yutang's "Big Shot" has been recognized by most people at the scene.
"Dare to take pictures, and the pictures are very good."
"Old Tian, you, a closed disciple, can do it."
"Don't flatter young people, there is a lot of room for improvement."
Tian Zhuangxiang squinted his eyes, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
The few old men around him who were similar in age were speechless when they saw his happy expression.
Zhou Yutang has skyrocketed to the top, so why should he be praised?
There is still a lot of room for improvement.
What, your apprentice still wants to hit the moon?
Zhou Yutang did not forget to come over and say hello to Tian Zhuangzhuang.
Although these old men and women are old, in fact, these older generation of filmmakers form a circle and have a considerable say.
The screening is over.
The critics began to leave the scene.
There are already many media reporters waiting outside the small auditorium.
These are all media outlets that have a good relationship with Jiangdong Entertainment. Because they cannot bring shooting equipment inside, they squat at the door, preparing to get first-hand interview materials.
There is another group of media reporters waiting outside the school gate.
The famous film critic Wang Xudong was helplessly blocked by several media outlets. An entertainment reporter almost put the microphone in his mouth: "Mr. Wang, what is your evaluation of this movie?"
Wang Xudong said : "Zhou Yutang did not disappoint me. If nothing else, this movie should be the box office king of this year's National Day."
The entertainment reporter suddenly became excited: ""Inception" has not yet "The Hawthorn Tree" by Zhang Yimou and "Di Renjie: The Empire" directed by Xu Ke will also be released soon, and "Fist of Heroes" by Donnie Yen will also be released. Are you sure that Zhou Yutang's film will be a hit? "< br>
“I’m sure.”
Wang Xudong pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and answered seriously: “I can only say that this is a film that has both commercial nature and depth of content. , especially Zhou Yutang’s performance, I am amazed”
"Mr. Wang, what is the ending of Zhou Yutang in the end?"
"Sorry, the plot of the movie cannot be spoiled. You will know it soon after the movie is released."
Looking at the crowd that refused to retreat In the sea of people, Wang Xudong had a new understanding of Zhou Yutang's popularity.
After finally answering the questions here, I received another call from a colleague, and I staggered.
There is still a circle of media reporters blocking the school gate, and traffic is paralyzed.
While Wang Xudong was shocked by Zhou Yutang's popularity, he suddenly thought of a very practical problem.
The roads are blocked!
How could he get out! ?
The next day.
Zhou Yutang slept with the beauty in green in his arms until the sun was up.
I was too tired last night.
You must recharge your batteries.
Everyone in the team around me was given a half-day off today, but the conscientious Mao Xiaoyu called at about ten o'clock, and her tone was quite excited:
"Boss, I ordered the screening yesterday. The news about Nortel being blocked has already made the headlines.”
Pecked the beauty in Tsing Yi’s cheek who was still sleeping soundly.
Get up and wash up, then open your laptop and read the news.
The screening of "Big Shot" caused quite a stir, and film critics worked overtime even after returning home.
Wang Xudong: "From a script perspective, the story of Zhou Yutang's play is very well completed. Whether it is the push and pull of the camera, the tone of the picture, the scene or the modeling of the characters, they are all just right. The overall structure It is also very complete and has a smooth rhythm. It is the most promising film in the National Day season."
Zhang Baiqing: "This film combines fighting with humor, which is a tribute to Jackie Chan. But what impressed me most was Zhou Yutang's performance. He used his acting skills to tell people that success is not just based on looks, but also on acting skills. I can only say that he deserves the Best Actor Award this year."
Ding Yaping: "Zhou Yutang breaks the shackles of his own image. He is a perverted plutocrat whose emotions are unpredictable and his heart is almost twisted. It gave me chills down my spine after watching it, and I felt hateful even when I got home. It is definitely a must-see movie during the National Day holiday."< br>
Zhou Liming: "The second film directed and starred by Zhou Yutang is quite exciting, but I am more concerned about the social issues reflected in the film, which are indeed very profound. In the film, a real estate developed by the Zhao Group is called Pearl River Garden. What is interesting is that a real estate company The first real estate product started by the richest man is called Zhudao Garden. It is unknown whether it is intended to reflect it, but it is undoubtedly thought-provoking."
I read a few movie reviews.
Basically, it’s all good reviews, but of course there are some claptrap critics who are singing the opposite.
Zhou Yutang nodded with satisfaction.
The National Day stalls war is gradually beginning.
Zhou Yutang has been busy with various schedules these days, and still has to take time to practice singing in the recording studio.
At the end of the month, I was a guest at Deng Ziqi's first concert in Beijing. During this period, I also received an invitation from Guang Li to attend the premiere of "Fist of Fury" with Zeng Li.
Universe Dan and Liu Weiqiang are in high spirits.
Li Xiaoping was frowning, and Zhou Yutang soon learned the reason.
This drama is a project produced by Zhang Zhao of Enlight Pictures.
Led by Chen Jiashang, Liu Weiqiang was invited to be the director, and Universe Dan starred in the film. Shu Qi, Huang Laogou, Yu Wenle and a bunch of Xiangjiang people were used. Huang Bo could only play a supporting role in it.
Languang Lighting is the main control, Shanghai Film and Television and Media Asia also participated in the investment.
This large-scale production, which cost 120 million yuan, is also an important project for the company this year.
After watching the video.
Zhou Yutang crossed his legs with a serious expression.
He didn't attend the cocktail party either, and got in the car directly to go home. Zeng Li asked curiously: "Yu Tang, how do you feel?"
"To be honest, not very good."
"Then why did you look like that just now?"
"I have received professional training and generally do not laugh."
"Then why are you laughing now?"
< br>
"I just can't help it."
Zhou Yutang hugged the beauty in Tsing Yi, and a subtle arc gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
