Chapter 295 The uncrowned king returns with a full load
Just look at Wang Bao's appearance.
I am an honest person who is a bit naive and a bit silly.
But whoever really thinks of him as a fool is truly a fool.
Being able to reach the top position in the mixed entertainment circle, Bao Yi is still very clear-headed.
He is also very honest with his friends.
Zhou Yutang is very clever and likes to associate with such real people.
The two have also collaborated on several projects, and their relationship is closer than ordinary friends.
But no matter how close a friend is, he must be measured and not make irresponsible remarks about his wife.
Looking at Wang Bao's indulging in happiness at this time, Zhou Yutang knew what he was thinking and sighed softly in his heart.
This time he came here for another purpose, which was to promote the "Thieves Alliance" platform. The materials had been prepared in advance. There were more posters for "Thieves Alliance" in the movie exhibition area.
Just the photos of Zhou Yutang, Fan Binbin and Liu Tianwang standing there attracted countless eyes.
There are also people like Zeng Li, Lin Yuner, etc., who are also very influential.
This blockbuster co-produced by the two countries has attracted many foreign film producers.
"Director Zhou, Jiangdong Entertainment has invested in this film "Mr. Tree" and it has been shortlisted for the Cannes main competition. Are you going to transition to making art films?"
Where there is Zhou Yutang, traffic is inevitable, and many media have focused on "Mr. Tree".
Follow Zhou Yutang’s past movie making routines.
From the establishment of a movie project to the start of filming and then to the end, media exposure is indispensable.
But this "Mr. Tree" is unprecedentedly low-key.
Many media have not even received the news, and the filming was completed quietly. If it were not shortlisted for Cannes and gained some exposure, few would pay attention to such a film from a new director with a cost of only 2 million. Literary film.
"After watching this movie, I believe you will have a new understanding of Bao's acting skills."
Zhou Yutang accepted a wave of media interviews and greatly appreciated Wang Bao's acting skills.
Soon, the movie poster of "Mr. Tree" appeared on the headlines on major entertainment portals together with "A League of Thieves".
This is a slightly desolate movie poster.
The base tone is a vibrant green lawn.
Wang Baoer is wearing a gray suit.
With a sunny smile on his face, he opened his arms and ran freely.
Behind him is a dead tree.
This poster is really well done.
Color clash.
The people watching felt desolate in their hearts.
"It still has to be Zhou Yutang."
Chief Jia was scrolling through the news on his mobile phone, feeling a little emotional and thinking: "How about it, Yu Tang, are you interested in performing arts? Movie? In my next movie, you will be the leading actor for me.”
With both acting skills and traffic, it can ensure the film’s exposure. If Zhou Yutang can be hired as the leading actor, it may even be a box office hit. .
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a hint of ridicule: "Director Jia, isn't your leading actor the Qing Emperor?"
"What Qingdi?"
Chief Jia was a little confused.
"I'm talking about Liao Fan."
"You're not bad either. I've seen "Big Shot" and you don't look like you acted in it."
Chief Jia is in a good mood , making a joke.
Han Jie, his brother who has been with him for many years, has been nominated for many prestigious awards this time.
Being a brother, Section Chief Jia, also felt that it was very honorable.
Old Qin people.
The style is relatively rough.
It’s about brotherhood.
Zhou Yutang took the time to visit Tangren Film and Television.
Cai Yinong knew that he was in the Magic City, and he kindly invited him to come and sit there several times.
For several days from the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony of the film festival, there were people watching, and Zhou Yutang was very relieved.
""Bu Bu Jing Xin" will be broadcast soon. Shi Shi has a lot of variety show schedules during this time. Can you arrange for her to go to the "Running Man" variety show in the second season of the previous issue?"< br>
“Let’s play “The Voice” together.”
"It's a deal!"
Double happiness came to the door. Cai Yinong was afraid that he would regret it, and he could hardly close his mouth when he smiled.
Logically speaking, Magic Channel and Mango Channel are in a competitive position. "Running Man" and "The Voice" are the flagship programs of Magic Channel, and they rarely promote dramas broadcast on other TV stations. .
But Zhou Yutang has this face.
With just one word, he can ask the program teams from both sides to make two plans.
When talking about the TV series project, Cai Yinong couldn't help but feel a little envious: "The "Shanshan Is Coming" produced by your company has been very popular overseas. A single episode on YouTube has almost two million views. It is very different from last year's hit "Shanshan Is Coming". The single episode of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is about the same."
"Is it very popular?"
Zhou Yutang is very calm: "It's okay, "My Love from the Star" is called popular."< br>
He has also seen the professional analysis report of the TV drama business department. The main audience is Southeast Asia, which is very addictive.
“.”
Cai Yinong was speechless.
Everyone has different standards.
A drama like "Shanshan Is Here" may not be available in Tangren Film and Television even if it takes a year.
But when it comes to Jiangdong Entertainment, it’s just normal.
Low-cost youth dramas are the foundation of Jiangdong Entertainment. Whether it is the pioneering work "Want to Meet You", or the "Classmate" series, or "Hello, Old Time", the ratings and influence are not in " Shanshan is coming".
I am currently discussing "Henmark in the Sky" with Tang Dynasty. The preparatory work for this drama is almost done and is expected to start filming in late June.
“I really didn’t expect that Jiang Xuezhen would actually follow you.”
When Cai Yinong first heard about the separation of Zhou Yi Company, he felt as if the rabbit had died and the fox had died.
At first, he and Jiang Xuerong were regarded as two strong women in the TV drama industry.
The Zhouyi Company was not weaker than the Tang people at the beginning, but as a result, it built a high-rise building, but it collapsed instantly.
Jiang Xueyuan took her Zhou Yi team to defect to Zhou Yutang. This time the "Horn of the Sky" project is also a joint venture between the two companies, with Cai Yinong and Jiang Xueyuan serving as producers at the same time.
“When people go to higher places, she just made the most correct choice at the moment.” Zhou Yutang smiled lightly. While talking to Cai Yinong, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and listened. Immediately prepared to leave: "Sister K, I'm leaving first, there's something else going on over there."
"What's wrong, do you need my help?"
"No. , is a matter of overseas distribution of the film.”
Zhou Yutang simply said goodbye and walked away.
Cai Yinong shook his head.
As for the movie, she is indeed out of reach
As a top major project in both countries, "A League of Thieves" was spared no effort in promoting it, and foreign film producers soon contacted it.
Neon's Sony fell in love with the movie, and the person in charge there made an appointment with Zhou Yutang at the hotel.
After watching the trailer, the Sony team quickly made a decision after a round of discussions: "There is a saying in Neon that Zhou Sang is the mythical crown prince who has never failed in the Chinese entertainment industry, and Showbox has obtained the distribution in South Korea. , Sony intends to distribute this film in Neon."
"What Crown Prince?"
"Zhou Sang's outstanding record in the entertainment industry has been spread to Neon. The media called Zhou Sang the undefeated mythical crown prince in the entertainment industry!” , Zhou Yutang was very professional and expressed his intention to cooperate without changing his expression.
The negotiations went smoothly.
After confirming the intention, the next step is for Zhou Yutang’s business negotiation team to determine the distribution of interests with Sony’s people.
Anyway.
If this movie can be released on Neon, it will further push up the box office data in Asia.
This film exhibition can be regarded as a harvest.
Shanghai Grand Theater.
On the red carpet of the closing ceremony.
The stars are shining brightly.
Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon and actor Matt Dillon also came to support the event.
A lot of neon people came this time.
Kenichi Kamimatsuyama, Tomohisa Yamashita, Toma Ikuta, Shunji Iwai, etc. are all famous figures in the film industry.
Actresses from all walks of life were busy competing for beauty, Zhou Yutang and Liu Tianwang walked on the red carpet together.
In an instant, the scene was filled with screams and shouts like a tsunami.
Countless spears and cannons were aimed at the popular king and queen from different directions.
“A Tang, your fans are so amazing.”
King Liu Tian couldn't help but sigh, Jiangdong Navy is really at its peak.
I just walked over and the name that people around me shouted the most was Zhou Yutang.
"Brother Hua, I'm far worse than you. Your fans are really loyal."
The host of the red carpet is Zhou Yutang's old friend Chen Chen. Ask Andy Lau: "Brother Hua, how do you feel about working with Zhou Yutang in "Thieves"?"
"First of all, I am very happy to have this opportunity. When Ah Tang found me, I was a little excited. After working with him on the set for more than a month, I realized why he is the top commercial film director in China."
Liu Tianwang is an old man and can handle such small scenes with ease.
“Brother Hua’s acting skills are very good and I’m very happy to work with him.”
“Yu Tang, another movie "Mr. Tree" you produced has received many nominations. What do you think? How many awards can it win?”
“Of course I hope to win, after all, the quality of this film is very good.”
Zhou Yutang said with a smile, “It still depends on the judges.”
Enter after signing.
Zhou Yutang’s position is in the first row.
With Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun, several film group CEOs.
Ren Zhonglun leaned forward and said: "Yu Tang, I heard that Jiangdong Entertainment is going to make a movie "Xiu Chun Knife" in the second half of the year?"
The top leaders nearby also attracted their attention. Zhou Yutang felt helpless: "Mr. Ren, you are too well-informed. This project has not been confirmed yet."
He invited experts who specialized in Ming history to help Lu Yang perfect various details in "Xiu Chun Dao".
The award ceremony begins.
The chairman of this year’s Golden Goblet Award jury is American director Barry Levinson. After delivering a speech, the formal awards ceremony soon came.
In the first Asian Newcomer Award, Neon Movie stole the show.
A slight arc appeared at the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth.
Having been in the industry for several years, he is quite experienced.
This Asian Newcomer Award can only be regarded as an appetizer, the main event is yet to come.
As expected, the Chinese film "The Man Sings Folk Songs at the Opposite Door" won the Best Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Music Awards.
Wang Baohao, who was nominated for the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor, was defeated. In the end, the trophy was won by Sevukat Emula of the Turkish film "The Woman Who Can't Afford to Hurt".
Unfortunately, Saivouket was unable to come to Shanghai to receive the award in person due to illness and surgery. The director of the film received the trophy on his behalf and gave a speech.
"Baoqiang, your performance is definitely worthy of the Best Actor Award."
The people around him comforted Wang Baoqi, who was a little disappointed. The award ceremony was still going on. The award presented below was the Best Director Award.
Zhou Yutang clearly felt that Han Jie was breathing quickly and stared at the stage closely.
The presenters for the Best Director Award were Chen Yingxiong and Shunji Iwai. The two did not show off and quickly announced the final results: "The winner of the Best Director Award is Han Jie, "Mr. Tree", Congratulations."
Han Jie was so excited that his eyes were red and his fists were clenched. He stood up and hugged Zhou Yutang, Section Chief Jia, Wang Bao and others next to him.
After taking the stage, Han Jie held the trophy in his hand and said with emotion: "Actually, my dream is to be a photographer. I didn't expect to win this award. Being a director is very hard. Sometimes I have a split personality and I have to control myself.
I would like to thank Mr. Jia for his encouragement, and I would like to thank Wang Baorong and the cast for their wonderful performances. Most importantly, I would like to thank my investor Zhou Yutang, who gave me a lot of valuable advice. ”
“ Without him, this movie might not exist.”
The audience applauded thunderously at the end of his simple speech.
Zhou Yutang also clapped softly, and Mr. Han beside him asked: "Yu Tang, do you have any ideas for making a literary film?"
"In the second half of the year, there is a literary film to be made."
"You have quite a lot of ideas."
Han Sanping expressed full affirmation: "Young people, just try more. Go get a prize another day, I’m optimistic about you.”
The best film award is still “The Woman Who Can’t Afford to Hurt”, and the final jury award is left. Li Qiankuan and Hui Yinghong announced the jury award.
Hui Yinghong opened the card, glanced in the direction of Zhou Yutang, and gently spit out the final result:
"The winner of the Jury Prize is "Mr. Tree", congratulations."
Although it is a pity that I could not take off the Best Actor crown, I was able to bag the Best Director Award and the Jury Prize. It can be regarded as a fruitful return.
