Chapter 256: The Immortal Lineup, the premiere was a big hit
The time has come in mid-November.
The lineup of "Thieves Alliance" has finally been officially announced.
This commercial blockbuster co-produced by the two countries with an investment of 120 million, immediately caused a sensation both inside and outside the industry.
“Zhou Yutang is a bit too big this time.”
"I envy Zhou Gou, and I have unspoken rules for the goddess Lin Yoona."
"This lineup is indeed top-notch and luxurious."
The new generation's most popular Zhou Yutang + the older generation's superstar Liu Dehua, also There are Zhang Guoli and Huang Bo.
All the movie kings regard them as emperors.
Fan Binbin, one of the female protagonists, is also one of the most popular among Da Hua Dan, and is the double Best Actress at Baihua and Tokyo International Film Festival.
There are also two other female leads, Jiang Wenli and Zeng Li, who have won three domestic TV drama awards at the Grand Slam.
What a magical lineup is this! ?
Even the supporting characters in South Korea are not stretched.
Huang Zhengmin is a talented actor who has won many awards and has an excellent reputation.
Kim Soo Hyun is also a hot new generation of popular youngster in South Korea. Needless to say, Lin Yoona. Girls’ Generation has completely taken off this year. After sweeping South Korea in popularity, they entered Neon and released their first Japanese album. It was certified as one million albums by the Neon Recording Industry Association.
This is the Asian girl group that competes with TVXQ.
As the face of the group, Lin Yoona is also the most popular member of the group. Even if she shows up in the group, it will definitely attract a large number of fans to come to the cinema to watch.
As for Zhien-chan, who brought money into the group, she
has no reputation.
Then come over and make some soy sauce in silence.
After the official announcement of the lineup, Zhou Yutang didn't need to do anything. China Film directly arranged the draft.
What is important for a large project co-produced by two countries is influence, and there are many resources that can be used. The crew is still in the early stages of preparation, and it has already received considerable attention.
“Boss Zhou, this movie of yours is really great.”
Hu Jing asked with some gossip: “When are you going to start filming?”
“ Probably have to wait until next year.”
The beauty in Tsing Yi made tea for him. Zhou Yutang smiled and raised the tea cup, took a sip, looked at this elegantly decorated teahouse with ancient charm, nodded and praised:
"Sister Li, you have good taste. , the decoration is quite impressive.”
“Don’t just praise your sister Li, please praise your sister Jing, okay?”
Hu Jing also knows the relationship between Zhou Yutang and Zeng Li. We are old acquaintances, and even joked with Zhou Yutang: "We watched the entire design and decoration together."
"Sister Jing, you have also contributed a lot."
Zhou Yutang put down his teacup and chuckled softly.
This teahouse called "Tea Yun" was invested and opened by Zeng Li and her best friend Hu Jing, and Zhou Yutang also participated in it.
It’s not just to make money, it’s a good place for him to receive friends.
Zhou Yutang and Hu Jing were chatting, but Zeng Li was carefully looking at the script in his hand, and asked with some curiosity: "Yu Tang, this "Thieves Alliance" script, do you Do you want to make a sequel?”
“You can see this”
"You are planning to make a sequel before the movie has started shooting?"
Hu Jing was stunned for a moment and couldn't help blurting out: "What kind of operation is this? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
She debuted earlier than Zeng Li and is considered an experienced veteran actor who knows firsthand the current situation of the film industry.
It seems that thousands of people are silent and extremely prosperous, but in the end only a few can stand out.
The filming of Zhou Yutang’s movie has not started yet, but the series is ready.
It is no exaggeration to say that none of the three major domestic directors dared to do this. Xiaogang Pao only started the sequel plan after seeing "If You Are the One" making money.
"This is what Hollywood does."
Zhou Yutang poured a cup of tea by himself and explained a little to this sister in a leisurely manner.
After going around Hollywood this time, my horizons have broadened a lot, and I have a deeper understanding of the operation of the mature system of the film industry.
Hollywood film companies don’t just make blockbusters at the first glance. They usually do market research and inspections in advance and are already ready for sequels when the project is established.
certainly.
If the market reacts poorly, then just pretend nothing happened.
After all, investing in movies is very risky, and no one can guarantee that the movie will be profitable. Big companies in the industry, such as Huayi and Enlight, often lose money.
It is very important to ensure the stable profitability of the film company. When Zhou Yutang wrote the script of "Thieves", he had already left inversions and foreshadowing in advance.
As long as the film’s market performance is within the expected range.
Then there are even bigger surprises waiting for the audience.
“It’s really amazing.”
Hu Jing was stunned for a moment by what Zhou Yutang said, but she felt a great sense of admiration in her heart.
The man who can make Da Lizi follow him wholeheartedly is really not a simple person.
This structure and ability are both top-notch.
The key is that he is really good to Da Lizi.
Zeng Li will soon have a heavyweight drama that has been building momentum for a long time.
The long-awaited "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will soon be broadcast on four stars.
The official Weibo of Zhou Yutang and Jiangdong Entertainment has been forwarded one after another with artists under Jiangdong Entertainment such as Zeng Li, Zhang Songwen, Zhu Yilong, and Zhang Ruojun.
Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Deng Chao and other celebrities who have good friendships with Zhou Yutang also forwarded the news that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will be broadcast on the night of the 17th.
On the premise that sufficient publicity has been done in the early stage, add the final fire.
The power of online publicity cannot be ignored, especially with so many stars in the industry promoting such a drama at the same time, which also attracts the curiosity of many passers-by.
“The drama co-produced by Zhou Yutang and Zheng Xiaolong is definitely worth watching.”
“It invested hundreds of millions. If I remember correctly, Zhou Yutang’s last TV drama with an investment of hundreds of millions was "My Love from the Star""
"It didn't seem to have exceeded 100 million. I remember that the production cost was 80 million." "Although the pace is a bit slow, it can be watched."
"So it turns out that Concubine Hua is played by Jiang Xin? Mu Wanqing in Tian Long Ba Bu is so stunning."
After the first day of broadcast, the comments on the Internet were generally still Mostly good reviews.
The film and television dramas produced by Zhou Yutang in the past few years are all excellent.
Many passers-by saw the TV series produced by Zhou Yutang and directly gave it a good review before watching it.
Of course, it is difficult to agree with everyone, and some viewers feel that the pace is not fast enough and are not interested in palace dramas.
This palace drama has a total of 76 episodes. The entire plot is told step by step and eloquently.
It’s not just people on the Internet who are watching the excitement.
The industry is also paying close attention.
Zhou Yutang has supported a large number of experts and commentators in the film and television field.
Every time his film and television works are released, many experts in the field of film and television will make comments.
This time, most experts are not very optimistic about the slow-paced palace drama with 76 episodes.
“According to the recent rules of the TV drama market, most hit dramas are around 30 episodes long. The 76-episode TV series “The Legend of Zhen Huan” produced by Zhou Yutang and Zheng Xiaolong is actually a challenge to the audience’s viewing experience. ."
"The ratings on the first day are very likely to be poor, so be cautious."
"The king of domestic ratings, Zhou Yutang, lost the battle in Maicheng."
The experts pointed out their opinions and expressed their opinions, but when the ratings for the first broadcast came out, they immediately shut their mouths.
The current ratings of the TV series are above 1.5, which can barely be regarded as a high-quality product. Originally, many people thought that the premiere of this drama would probably break 1 in ratings.
Unexpectedly, the premiere of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" directly broke the second spot.
"Boss, the first broadcast is 2.58!"
When Mao Xiaoyu ran over to report, there was excitement in his tone: "The ratings of our drama are 2.58!"
< br>
"Oh? It's okay."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and continued to talk about the script of "Reply 1997" with several people in the screenwriting studio.
"Is it okay?"
"As expected of the boss."
Liu Wanhui, Bao Jingjing, Ping layer and others looked at Zhou Yutang's Yun Danfeng expression. , also secretly smacking his tongue.
The ratings for the first broadcast directly exceeded 2, and the blockbuster work has basically been booked, but the result is just okay?
Thinking of Zhou Yutang's brilliant achievements, everyone quickly felt relieved.
The background of "Reply 1997" has changed, and the overall plot has to be adjusted accordingly, but the core of the entire story remains unchanged.
Especially the heroine Shiyuan, this character is particularly real and brilliant.
This is not the Bai Qiongmei who is destined to be with the rich second generation in ordinary youth idol dramas.
She has a carefree temperament, gets excited when she sees celebrities in Hong Kong, is at a loss when she meets someone she likes, is funny when getting along with friends, and feels aggrieved and sad because of her parents' incomprehension
The audience can In the protagonists of this drama, we can see the incomparable real growth process, as if they have experienced friendship, family affection, and love that ordinary people will experience.
Thus creating an unparalleled resonance.
This is the power that can touch people's hearts.
Several screenwriters, including August Changan, are all girls with delicate emotions.
Listening to Zhou Yutang talking about the character design and plot details at the meeting, I couldn't help but get involved, and everyone was a little moved.
They looked at each other and came to a consensus: "This drama may become another classic of domestic youth campus dramas."
"Xiao Li, Have the statistical results of the data department come out?"
Since the broadcast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the first thing the station director of Hui Province Station does when he enters the office every morning is to ask his assistant: "The fourth episode is broadcast. How will the ratings be in the future?”
Assistant Xiao Li has already made preparations in advance.
He took out the manuscript paper he had prepared from the database.
"The ratings of episode 4 were 3.09%, with a single-day peak of 3.63% and a viewing share of 6.59%."
"What? You are not mistaken."
The director of the Huizhou TV station was dumbfounded and was stunned for a few seconds.
"Director, I just went to the data department to get the data this morning and checked it several times."
Assistant Xiao Li swallowed and explained.
The director of the Hui Province TV station even breathed a little quickly and stood up from his seat: "Show me the data."
Took the stack of thin films After reading the thin paper up and down, the director of Hui Province Station quickly laughed.
When it first broke two in ratings, it was already considered a hit, but now it has broken three. It’s about to take off! ?
“Boss, this drama has the potential to become a phenomenal hit.”
Assistant Xiao Li observed the situation and noticed that the director was in a good mood. He took the opportunity to ask for advice: "How did you decide to buy this drama in the first place?"
"To do big things, you must have courage."
Hui The director of the provincial station began to give advice: "I bought this drama not only because of its excellence. After all, no one can guarantee the ratings of the drama. The most important thing is to watch people. Zhou Yutang is a person worth investing in." ”
“The vision and courage of the leader are really extraordinary.”
Listening to the comments from the leaders, Assistant Xiao Li’s face showed the right expression of understanding the truth of life. He was extremely impressed and said: "I still have a lot to learn."
The expression of emotion is extremely smooth.
It almost doesn’t taste like that at all.
“Go and notify others and prepare for the meeting.”
The station director of Hui Province Station pointed his finger at assistant Xiao Li, his face was red and he laughed.
This is like a pie falling from the sky, hitting Hui Province Taiwan on the head.
As the leader who gritted his teeth and nodded, he approved Taiwan's film purchase budget for next year to buy this drama.
He seemed to have felt the flowers and applause waiting for him at the high-level meeting of the TV station.
