Chapter 268: Becoming a myth, the shocking demon thief
No one expected it.
A small-budget comedy film with an investment of no more than 10 million has become a dark horse in the Lunar New Year festival.
There is even a trend of going all black to the end.
The biggest rival "New Shaolin Temple" in the same period had a daily box office growth of only a few million, while Huang Baiming's killer "Family Happiness 2011" also had a box office of only 16.2 million on its first day of release.
New Year's Eve is around the corner.
In order to promote the filming progress, Zhou Yutang did not even go to the celebration banquet of "Let the Bullets Fly" and asked Li Shuang to attend in his place.
On the other hand, Han Sanping came to visit the crew specially.
He is listed as the producer of "Thieves", but he will never interfere in the crew's affairs.
Zhou Yutang has the final say on all matters concerning the crew. Unless there is any trouble, Mr. Han will be approached to resolve it.
"Mr. Han, you are so polite. Come just as you are, and you will bring a bunch of new year's goods."
Zhou Yutang said polite words, and without any slowness in his movements, he took over Han Sanping's gift The hardcover tea leaves in hand: "The lunch boxes served by the crew are a bit greasy recently, so I just want to drink some tea to lighten the taste."
"How is the filming going?"
Han Sanping was so wet that he was so embarrassed. He took the initiative and was not surprised at all by Zhou Yutang's style. However, there was a short-haired girl beside him who laughed out loud after hearing this.
Zhou Yutang glanced at the short-haired girl and said casually: "It will take almost a week."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Han Sanping patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder, noticed his eyes, and introduced with a smile: "My daughter, Han Jia'v, applied for a graduate degree in directing at Nortel this year."
Han Sanping's daughter, Han Jia'v, has three-thirds of facial features similar to Han Sanping's.
She is not a beauty, but she has good features and short hair. Her overall temperament is neat and refreshing.
Seeing Zhou Yutang, the girl looked vaguely adoring.
But compared to the little girl from Gambling King's family who was so excited that she almost came up to hug Zhou Yutang, Han Jia'v controlled her emotions very well.
Although he was excited, he quickly calmed down.
She looked at Zhou Yutang curiously.
Now Zhou Yutang is gradually becoming a legend in the entertainment industry.
Not only is his popularity extremely high, the film and television projects he has worked on are not classics, but they are at least hits.
Han Jia Nyeo intends to develop into the film and television industry. Of course she knows that there is a saying in the industry that "Zhou Yutang holds the key to traffic in this era."
After a brief chat, Han Sanping nodded to his daughter: "Yu Tang, take care of her more in the future."
"As long as Mr. Han is here, you can do it without me. "
"Be modest. When I retire, it still depends on you young people."
"Mr. Han, where are you going? Young people's ideas are immature and they are not passionate enough. , need your guidance spirit."
Listening to Zhou Yutang and Han Sanping communicating.
Han Jianu was speechless.
As a fan, I always have some filters for idols.
But seeing Zhou Yutang communicating with her father like an official official, Han Jia'v felt that the idol filter was a bit broken.
While the two were chatting, the topic turned to Han Jia Nyeo.
Han Jia'v also smiled gracefully, and then flattered her without revealing any trace: "Mr. Zhou, I always hear my dad mention you at home. Today I can see you in person. You are much more handsome than what I saw on TV." . ”
Look, this is a tiger father and a dog daughter.
Han Sanping put his arm around Zhou Yutang's shoulders familiarly and said with some envy, "The total investment for the project "People on the Road" is only 10 million, and the work is really beautiful."
"We cannot do without Mr. Han's support."
Zhou Yutang said with a chuckle.
After buying out the copyright, the project "Inconvenience" was solely owned by Jiangdong Entertainment. It was originally planned to be handed over to Enlight for distribution, but something went wrong when we went there for a meeting to discuss it.
After Zhou Yutang reviewed the final publicity plan given there, he was not very satisfied because Zhang Zhao, the boss of Enlight Pictures, mainly recommended "The Greatest Happiness 2011" directed by Huang Baiming, which is a film controlled by Enlight. , which was released at the same time as "The Lost Road", it is understandable that Mr. Zhang should focus publicity resources on his own projects.
He did not talk nonsense with Zhang Zhao, and handed over the distribution work to China Film.
In the beginning, he was weak and had to take advantage of the situation. Now he has grown so strong that he no longer needs to look at Zhang Zhao, the boss of Enlight Pictures.
Without Butcher Li, there is no need to eat pigs with hair on them.
With the relationship between Zhou Yutang and Han Sanping, it is just a matter of saying hello. When Maoyan develops in the future, even the distribution can be in his own hands.
"The quality of the movie is still good, and the audience is willing to buy it."
Han Sanping smiled and said: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that there will be a seminar after the year, and you will come too."
"Mr. Han, I'm not going, right?"
Zhou Yutang felt dizzy when he heard the seminar.
He has been to this kind of seminar several times.
Almost a bunch of film and television company CEOs and big directors in the industry were there.
A group of leaders came to the stage one after another, and they just said a few simple words, and they talked for several hours.
The key point is that it is not nutritious in the eyes of experts. It is really better to sleep at home.
“You are called upon to participate.”
Han Sanping said with a smile: "If you work hard on this project now, even the top leaders will be watching."
"."
Now that it's all said and done, Zhou Yutang He could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Then, Zhou Yutang had a simple exchange with Han Jianu, "You are applying for graduate school this year. Is that my junior sister, born in the 1990s?"
"No way, I was born in 1986 .”
Han Jia Nu had a smile on her face. "I really can't tell, Sister Jia, then I'm two years younger than you, just call me Yu Tang. We can communicate more in the future."
Seeing Zhou Yutang's warmth A smile that made people feel no sense of distance, Han Sanping also smiled when he heard the sound of "Sister Jia".
The face that was covered with vicissitudes of life like an old farmer showed a happy smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes completely unfolded.
He was not mistaken.
Zhou Yutang is indeed a person who values love and justice.
He has this sentence.
My daughter’s future is secure.
Zhou Yutang and Han Sanping were chatting about movies, and Fan Xiaopang also came up to say hello.
No matter how you say it, she is also a top-notch person in the entertainment industry, and she still has this reputation.
After Han Sanping left, Fan Xiaopang started to gossip: "Princess of the Han family really wants to hang out with you? Isn't this only half of her term?"
"What do you mean by hanging out with me?"
The corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly: "We will be brothers and sisters in the film academy from now on. This is called strengthening learning and communication and helping each other."
Han Sanping's daughter is going to take the postgraduate entrance examination at the film academy. She hasn't taken the exam yet, and her tutors are all It’s settled.
This is the rule of the game in Chinese society.
From what Han Sanping said, Han Jianu wanted to develop into a screenwriter and producer. This time she came to visit the class to pave the way for her daughter.
Zhou Yutang plans to let her intern in Jiangdong Entertainment's screenwriting department and film department to gain experience.
When the time is right, she will be given several projects to do. The level she can achieve in the end depends on her own ability.
"Okay, okay."
Fan Xiaopang waved his hand, his voice sour: "I saw on the Maoyan software that the box office of "The Man on the Road" has reached 140 million, what are you doing? It’s really going to make a lot of money.”
"It's a small amount of money, not worth mentioning."
"Can you treat me to a movie tonight?"
Although the crew won't have a holiday during the Spring Festival, it is certain to pay several times the salary. And we finish work very early these days, so we don’t shoot night scenes.
As soon as Zeng Li left, Fan Xiaopang tentatively made an invitation, but Zhou Yutang looked at the time and said calmly: "Not tonight, I have something to do."
"Which woman Coming to find you?”
"Xiao Zhou."
Zhou Yutang didn't answer her question. He answered the phone and heard the sweet voice on the other side of the phone.
Fan Xiaopang saw a gentle smile appear on the handsome face of the man beside him.
"Is it her?"
This moment.
Even Fan Xiaopang, who was sane and clear about their position and relationship, felt jealousy growing uncontrollably in his heart.
"Classmate Xiao Liu, long time no see."
"If you don't see me, I'll see you. Who wants to see you? Don't touch me with your hands."
"Qian Bao."< br>
“Hmm”
Still wearing the same black down jacket with a white velvet sweater underneath.
Zhou Yutang had already taken off his down jacket and scarf, but it was a bit cold in Beijing today, so Liu Tianxian was still wearing a thermal device on his lower body.
Today Liu Yifei has just returned from out of town. She will have to attend an event out of town one night, and then spend the New Year with her grandma in her hometown.
Zhou Yutang’s original intention was to cherish his time and get down to business, but Miss Liu was very persistent in eating spicy hotpot and watching a movie.
There is no other choice but to run errands for Mao Xiaoyu to arrange a reserved venue.
The most popular movie at the moment is of course "Unfortunate". This movie started from 35% of the movie schedule, and within a few days, the movie schedule has increased to 43%, mainly due to its rivals "New Shaolin Temple" and "Family Happiness 2011" in the same period. "Both box office and attendance performance were unsatisfactory.
"Goose goose goose goose."
Coming out of the cinema, Liu Yifei leaned on Zhou Yutang's shoulder and laughed like a goose: "Xiao Zhou, Wang Bao'er is too funny!"
I watched the edited film several times, and then watched it again at the premiere. Zhou Yutang knew the lines of this film by heart.
The two of them were making love to each other in the car, and just as his dishonest little hand was about to go up from his waist, Xu Baldy’s phone called again, and he said excitedly:
"Yu Tang, I just came out of the theater, and suddenly I thought, can we prepare a sequel?"
"What do you think?"
"It must be possible, then this sequel, Can you."
Guangtou Xu's voice suddenly became a little twitchy, and Zhou Yutang seemed to be able to understand his inner thoughts, and chuckled: "Don't worry, I will keep my word, I will leave the sequel to you to direct."
"Thank you in advance, Yu Tang."
Xu Zheng's voice was full of joy, but the voice there was a bit noisy. Zhou Yutang vaguely heard Wang Bao's laughter, so he hung up the phone: "Let's do this for now, and we will talk about it when we come back to hold a celebration banquet."
Liu Yifei leaned on Zhou Yutang's shoulder and looked at him with clear and bright eyes: "Xiao Zhou, are you ready to make the sequel to "The Journey"?"
"Of course."
Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Tianxian's small waist: "According to this trend, there is almost no suspense if the box office exceeds 300 million. There may be a chance to hit 400 million. The sequel has been planned for a long time and is ready to be filmed in Thailand."
“Then don’t you take the photo yourself?”
"I'll forget it. The "囧" series of movies has the imprint of Baldy Xu. Let him do it. I have other arrangements."
"What do you want to make?"
Liu Celestial being's eyes were filled with curiosity.
Zhou Yutang rubbed the soft skin of Liu Tianxian's waist and chuckled: "It's a sequel to "A League of Thieves", a story about a magician."
Still feeling dizzy, Brothers, take care of yourself~~~
