Chapter 479 God descends to earth, convinced
Happiness comes so suddenly.
Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he was dreaming. He calmed down, but his heart was still beating hard after a long time.
He swallowed his saliva and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
"Why are you so polite, I'm one of my own."
Zhou Yutang didn't draw a big picture for him. He just did some things without saying much.
Wen Muye's "Rescue Mr. My Life" rivaled several imported blockbusters and achieved impressive box office success.
Lu Yang's debut "Xiu Chun Knife" is even more amazing, ranking among the top ten in the domestic box office list of the year.
The two became famous one after another, and are now well-known new generation directors in the industry.
Zhou Yutang's expectations for Guo Fan, one of the three generals of Jiangdong, are more than that.
For the sequel to "Now You See Me", he was going to give it to Guo Fan to practice.
There will be more important projects to be handed over to him in the future, which can be regarded as accumulating experience for him in advance.
Of course.
It’s not that Zhou Yutang is the shopkeeper and doesn’t care at all.
He himself serves as the producer, is in charge of the final editing of the film, and controls the overall quality of the film.
Anyway, the theme of this series of movies is very clear, which is a fast-paced commercial movie with elements of gangsterism and a thrilling and dazzling magic show, mixed with some laughs.
During this period, we may also produce two more spin-off dramas to continue to improve the framework of the entire movie crime universe.
Of course, these are all things for later, the most important thing right now is the battle in front of us.
“Come on, Xiao Zhou!”
Liu Yifei is in Switzerland and took Aunt Liu to the Alps, and she did not forget to send her blessings.
"When will you come back?"
After receiving a call from Liu Yifei, the fatigue caused by the hurried film roadshow schedule faded away, and Zhou Yutang's voice became soft unconsciously.
"It will be two more days. I have specially customized a watch for you, hehe."
"Didn't I give one as a gift before?"
"Then It’s different. This watch is my idea and was designed by a designer. It has special characters inside.”
Liu Yifei's voice was sweet and sweet, but Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead, feeling that Miss Liu seemed to have something on his mind. Could it be that he was being too preoccupied?
Turn around and throw these distracting thoughts away.
On the third day, the box office revenue was 95.27 million.
On the 4th day of release, which happened to be a Saturday, the single-day box office revenue was 125 million yuan, which blatantly broke the previous box office record of 114 million yuan held by the imported blockbuster "Transformers 3"!
“Are you crazy!?”
Mr. Wang from Huayi was holding a promotional meeting for "Twelve Zodiac Signs". He looked at the data report sent by the film department. He, Chen Guofu, Jackie Chan and others were stunned for a long time before his lips moved: "Zhou Yutang is going to heaven. Ah."
"There is only one week left before the premiere of "Twelve Zodiac Signs""
Jackie Chan touched his big nose with some luck, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Fortunately, Chen. I have always agreed with the king to postpone the release, otherwise I don’t know what will happen if we meet head-on.”
When there was a meeting to postpone the schedule, Jackie Chan was very loud and opposed it.
He feels that although Zhou Yutang has a distinguished record, he has been popular for decades and has countless fans. He is not afraid of a head-on battle and can still stir up the topic.
Now seeing this amazing box office data, the arrogance in Jackie Chan's heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by heartfelt admiration.
"At least, avoid the sharp edge."
Chen Guofu also rubbed his forehead and murmured: "I have a strong feeling that this time, Yu Tang may set many records "
"Huh! "
Fatty Yu, sweating profusely, opened the collar of his shirt, his belly straightened, and he was breathing heavily. The vice president beside him Wang Wei handed over the tissue very discerningly.
"The air conditioner is a bit hot."
Wiping away the cold sweat and throwing aside the box office report of "Now You See Me", Fatty Yu's voice was a little weak: "The premiere of "Big Shanghai", with Have Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Runfa communicated? "
"It's all arranged, Mr. Yu."
"If you send more drafts, we will meet head-on in a few days."< br>
When Fatty Yu thought of that terrifying opponent, Fatty Yu felt a little numb and muttered: "If I had known earlier, we would have waited until January."
"Now You See Me" has dominated the Lunar New Year season with great force. It can be said that when people stand in the way, people will kill people, and when gods stand in the way, they will kill the gods.
Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast" has been forced to be released early, with a total box office of 78.75 million. Taro probably burst into tears.
The little steel cannon that had promised to target 1 billion at the beginning also failed. "1942" struggled to pass 200 million, and the daily box office growth dropped to just over 2 million. It looked like it was almost exhausted.
"Pi", which was expected to hit a box office of 600 million, is also losing momentum. Maoyan predicts that the total box office will be around 560 million.
The siphon effect in the movie market has begun to take effect, and the outcome of confronting this box office monster is disastrous. In the five days since its release, "Now You See Me" has already grossed 485 million in box office.
The entire Lunar New Year party was killed and corpses were scattered all over the place.
Inside and outside the circle, all eyes were focused on Zhou Yutang.
Countless discussions and comments about the movie have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
“Yu Tang’s movie has brought great surprises to the audience. From a commercial point of view, it may be the best movie of the year. It has broken the single-day box office record of "Transformers 3" I was shocked, but also very pleasantly surprised, which shows that the environment of our entire Chinese film market is getting better and better," Zhang Yimou said in an interview. ""1942" is a good movie, but from a commercial point of view, it is not as popular as "Now You See Me". I am convinced that I lost this time. Congratulations to Yu Tang for winning the box office. I came here too, and the road is still there. Long, keep up the good work.”
Feng Xiaogang, who was even trying to be defeated alone, was rarely soft-spoken when he and his wife Xu Fan came out of the cinema to watch a movie and were blocked by the media.
I can’t accept it.
Such box office performance is like a god coming down to earth, sweeping away all enemies.
The headlines of various entertainment portals, as well as domestic film and television inventory variety shows, also mentioned Zhou Yutang’s name:
“Hello everyone, welcome to "The Most Movie", I am the host Rongrong.”
"I am the host Xiaoxian."
"Hey, Xiaoxian, do you know which movie is the most popular during the Lunar New Year?"
"Of course it's the movie "" directed by Zhou Yutang. "The Shocking Thieves"
The host Xiaoxian exaggerated in a playful tone: "It's so wonderful, it's like watching a magic show. You know you've been cheated, but you're still intoxicated. I really want to see how everything will develop."
"The process is indeed full of unexpected turns and suspense. This movie has set multiple box office records in Chinese film history, and the box office of the movie was as high as 125 million yesterday!"
"Let me tell you another trivia fact. Director Zhou Yutang broke his own record. He said that he just wants to make progress. He is really making progress, and it feels like our Tianchao Films have also taken a big step forward. No worse than imported Hollywood blockbusters!”
The two hosts shared their movie-watching experience, and finally the female host Rongrong concluded. She sublimated the theme with an emotional tone: “Actually, we all know magic. It’s not real, but I’m willing to pretend it’s real.”
“There are also a lot of exaggerations in “Now You See Me” directed by Zhou Yutang, just because a large number of ordinary people are in reality. There are already too many depressions in life.”
“Perhaps everyone goes to the cinema not to pursue art, but to gain a short-term experience that cannot be obtained in reality.”
“ There is no doubt that Director Zhou Yutang gave us such a wonderful feeling. I think I will watch it a second time with my best friend, because when I watched it for the first time, I missed a lot of magic details."
First-line TV stations such as Mango, Magic City, Jiangsu Province, and Blue Channel also broadcast various prime-time news about the amazing achievements created by "Now You See Me".
Even CCTV broadcast a series of amazing records set by "Now You See Me" on Sunday.
Without a doubt, this is a compliment.
Removing the records that Hollywood imported blockbusters have placed on Chinese films has a more important meaning besides movies.
“What a pity, it’s too fast, less than a minute.”
Listening to Zhou Yutang's words of Versailles, Ni Ni opened his mouth and found that he no longer had the energy to complain.
She followed Zhou Yutang on road shows across the country and was very tired.
We were in Magic City yesterday, we will go to Hangzhou today, and we will go to Jinling tomorrow.
Airborne all over the country, the work intensity is full.
Zhang Yi's bitter face became even more bitter, and he looked as tired as a forty-year-old man.
Even Gulinazha, who was happily planning to stay and fly with Zhou Yutang at first, looked like a cabbage that had been exposed to the sun, with a bit of fatigue on her delicate face.
Looking back at Zhou Yutang.
More and more excited.
He seems to be born to stand on this big stage and shine brightly, always showing his perfect and full-spirited posture in front of the audience.
I even have time to manage my time and deal with phone calls from several women at the same time.
While Ni Ni lowered her head to reply to the message, she cursed in her heart: "My boss is too energetic, no wonder he has so many confidante."
In the past few days, Zhou Yutang's mobile phone has been kept by her side, from The congratulatory text messages and messages from all directions never stopped.
Except for a few big shots who made phone calls to beauties and familiar friends, others who were not familiar with them basically used Penguin, WeChat, text messages, etc.
Ni Ni was busy processing the news, and her delicate hands were almost tired.
When Zhou Yutang received a call from Zou Zhongyan, he had just finished today’s road show in Chengdu, the capital of Shu, and took his team to have a hot pot meal to relax a little.
After finishing the movie, he took the mobile phone handed over by Ni Ni and immediately put down his chopsticks,
"Yu Tang, congratulations on the box office success of "Now You See Me", even in Hollywood. According to reports, a director here is interested in your script.”
“In addition, the Golden Globe nominations will be announced soon, and it is unlikely to win, but this is the best we can do. The result is good, you have to come here next month."
Confirming Zou Zhongyan's public relations results, Zhou Yutang received another call from the old man Bob, saying the same thing, but in a slightly different tone. exaggerate.
The Chinese film market has amazing potential, and several major Hollywood companies are eyeing it.
Zhou Yutang turned around and gave Han Sanping a breath of air, "Mr. Han, the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony is on the 13th next month. Can we go together then?"
"I won't go. There are several conferences to be held. Then "In the Name of the People" has to be watched here. If you really can't leave, let Lao Meng go with you."
Han Sanping laughed heartily, and Zhou Yutang could understand.
Every year at the end of the year, Mr. Han, who sits as the head of China Film Group Corporation, always has endless meetings. Lao Meng is the vice president of China Film Group Corporation and is considered an acquaintance.
After chatting about the box office trend for a while, Zhou Yutang could feel that Han Sanping was in a happy mood.
The next day, Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Ada Tucker O'Reilly announced the Golden Globe nominations along with actors Jessica Alba, Megan Fox and Ed Helms.
"The Mainland film "Search" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and "Life of Pi" directed by Li An was nominated for the Best Drama Film!"
News is like a passing hurricane.
Domestic media and Internet, various hot reports have caused an uproar again.
