Chapter 480 Sweeping across Asia! Above the pinnacle! (6,000 words)
Zhou Yutang’s influence in Asia cannot be underestimated.
When Zou Zhongyan reported on America's business, he mentioned the other giants among the six Hollywood giants, and also showed a strong interest in cooperation.
During the Yuqing road show, when asked about this matter in an interview by the media, Zhou Yutang behaved quite calmly: "It's an honor to be nominated. The important thing is to participate. This is also my first time. I will have to talk to Li Director An, please learn more.”
In order to compete for the Olympics, Li An has started public relations work in America and also called Zhou Yutang to congratulate him.
"Director Zhou, how do you feel about "Now You See Me" breaking many box office records in Chinese film history?"
"I just want to thank the audience."
Zhou Yutang said Shunfeng Bureau, just seeking stability, said modestly: "Without the support of the audience, there would be no such high box office."
"Then what is the theme of your next movie? Is it "Shocking" A sequel to "The Band of Thieves"? "
"I am now very involved in promoting this movie, dealing with the media, and dealing with everyone's reaction."
Zhou Yutang was in a good mood and replied: "It's better to do the things in front of you first. When you are done with things, prepare to rest for a while and then think about the next movie."
The film and television industry is turbulent at the end of the year, and China Writer Mo Yan set out from Beijing to Sweden to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.
In addition, the annual Mr. Fashion Ceremony was held in Beijing, and Teacher Fan was voted the most beautiful woman of the year with an overwhelming advantage.
When Teacher Fan was interviewed, she mentioned Zhou Yutang with a smile:
“I personally like Esquire magazine because you can see a lot of handsome guys, especially those taken by Yu Tang. On the cover of that issue, as Kai's 'ex-girlfriend', I congratulated him on the box office success of his movie. "Now You See Me" is really exciting. It had a single-day box office of over 100 million for two consecutive days over the weekend. I hope everyone will support this movie. ”
"This vixen."
Gulinazha pouted and muttered softly when she saw Teacher Fan's interview news.
Some time ago, after Liu Yifei was awarded the golden horse, scandals about Liu Yifei and Liu Yifei were flying all over the world. In the end, even Teacher Fan came out to interfere.
“Aren’t you also a vixen?”
Ni Ni, who was next to Zhou Yutang, couldn’t help but curse in her heart.
The boss is working so hard for his career, but you, my god-sister, have to pester him at night, so you still have the nerve to call him a vixen.
See how sensible Teacher Fan is.
Not only did he book ten shows for fans on his Weibo, he even participated in such fashion events and did not forget to promote his boss's movie.
The female thief Nicole played by Teacher Fan in "A League of Thieves" amazed many audiences at the time, and she was also one of the beauties of the male protagonist King Akai.
At that time, the popularity of Bingtang CP was not small. Recently, with the spread of Fan Zhou's scandal, there are gradually signs of recovery.
After Teacher Fan entered her 30s, her loyal fans have also matured and are naturally less repulsive to her love affairs. A large number of fans even hope that she can find a lover.
Looking at the huge domestic entertainment industry, taking into account factors such as celebrity status, financial status, appearance and other factors, who can compare to Zhou Yutang?
If Mr. Fan really wins the top diamond title recognized by the industry, his fans will probably set off firecrackers to celebrate.
In the future, I will say goodbye to my opponent and move out Zhou Yutang directly. That will be the real treasure weapon against the enemy and suppress everything.
Gulinazha went online and severely reported several fans who held high the banner of Bingtang CP. When she returned to the hotel in the evening, she pestered her and asked: "Brother, do you like Fan Binbin or me?"
"What's the comparison?"
Zhou Yutang is also busy sending messages to Liu Shishi. Recently, the first sister has been asking for advice on acting skills.
“Oh, brother, what do you say.”
“She and I are just ordinary friends.”
Zhou Yutang didn’t even raise his head: “You are my god sister. ”
In front of an old fox like Zhou Yutang, Nazha was simply childish and shameless. This may be the reason why she was protected without understanding the darkness of this circle.
Just by looking at her clear and stupid eyes, Zhou Yutang could clearly see her little thoughts.
From Gulinazha's point of view, she is not a high-ranking person, but she was taught by Zhou Shufang and placed in the position of being her sister.
She is not that hostile to Liu Tianxian and Liu Shishi. She is wary at this time, simply because her proud beauty does not seem to have any advantage in front of Teacher Fan.
Not only that, no matter in terms of reputation, style and other comprehensive conditions, Teacher Fan surrounds himself 365 degrees without blind spots.
A woman who suddenly feels insecure will subconsciously ask a man the classic question: "Brother, then my position in your heart is more important than hers?"
"You have always been very "It's important."
The most affectionate person in the capital is not in vain. Zhou Yutang finally coaxed Liu Shishi to sleep, without even a second of hesitation, looking at her with deep eyes and speaking softly and firmly. .
"Brother, you are so kind to me."
Gulinazha suddenly smiled like a flower, hooked her arms around Zhou Yutang's neck, and said with charming eyes: "Tonight I want you to What do I wear?”
She came back to participate in the road show this time, but she had made a lot of preparations.
Small suitcase, big arsenal.
Stolen my sister’s flight attendant skirt and all the sexy pajamas.
I have prepared many pairs of stockings, including suspenders, letters, and fishing nets.
Hmph, what about Teacher Fan, who is known as a beauty in the world?
Sister, I am younger than you, my skirt is shorter than you, and my stockings are silkier than you.
My sister’s fishing net can catch fish, but she is invincible than you.
************************
The time has entered late December.
"Now You See Me" is still making a splash in the film market. In the first week of its release, including the number of screenings, the total box office has reached 550 million yuan, once again setting a new record for the fastest to break through 500 million yuan. .
Now the film and television companies in the entire industry have become numb with envy.
Huayi, Bona and other companies have also begun to increase their publicity efforts.
Such a terrifying box office monster made them all feel unprecedented pressure.
Jackie Chan held a premiere in Beijing and received a Guinness World Records certificate, certified as the actor who performed the most stunts.
Extraordinary people do extraordinary things.
Even Zhou Yutang greatly admired his energy.
In addition to acting, the eldest brother often enthusiastically coaches actresses in their acting skills.
In this "Zodiac", he is the producer, producer, director, starring, screenwriter, martial arts instructor, photographer, art director, set manager, life producer, lighting, etc. Music, props, stand-in, theme song singing, fifteen tasks!
Zhou Yutang also admired Huang Xiaoming, who was full of professionalism: "Brother Xiaoming, your legs are not healed. Why don't you just stay in the hospital and have a good rest, but you also go to participate in movie promotions?"
"Oh. , There is no other way, Boss Yu said he would carry me to the premiere.”
Huang Xiaoming smiled helplessly, with a voice full of envy: "You are still too ruthless, with a single-day box office exceeding 100 million. I heard that Boss Yu went to Lingyin Temple to worship Buddha. I hope the box office data can be better."
< br>"Have you started to play metaphysics when making movies?"
Zhou Yutang laughed dumbly and felt a little regretful: "Every day increases and decreases very quickly. After two days, several movies will be released. "Now You See Me" "Tuan"'s daily box office growth is expected to drop even further."
In fact, in the past few years, a movie with a box office of over 100 million would have been worthy of widespread coverage, and could even be ranked among the top Chinese-language films of the year.
But after Zhou Yutang’s strong rise, the entire Chinese film industry also took off. Now there are more than 14,000 screens nationwide, including more than 12,000 2K digital screens!
The whole cake gets bigger and bigger.
"Now You See Me" grossed 125 million in box office in a single day, basically sucking up the entire market, and almost reaching the single-day box office limit in the current Chinese film market.
"Take care of yourself, Brother Xiao Ming, don't work too hard."
Zhou Yutang did not forget to express concern.
“Well, I hope I won’t be beaten too badly then.”
Huang Xiaoming is also a model worker in the industry. He has two movies to be released this Lunar New Year.
The first part is "The Magic City" and "Blood Drop" where he danced on the same stage with two generations of strong brothers Zhou Runfa.
All of them are large-scale productions with an investment of over 100 million, and each one is full of publicity resources in order to get a piece of the Lunar New Year holiday.
This Lunar New Year period is nicknamed the Doomsday period by the media, also because there are many blockbusters released in late December.
Bo Nayu and Wang Jing's "Great Demon City" took the lead in rising up and launched a sniper attack on "Now You See Me".
Huang Xiaoming's legs were still in plaster, and he was wearing a pair of large sunglasses. He stubbornly sat in a wheelchair and went into battle in person, sharing the stage with Xu Wenqiang, the second generation of Zhou Runfa.
It’s just that Wang Jing, a fat man, has a very high upper limit. He can produce a classic like "God of Gamblers", but the lower limit is also very low. The box office of "The Magic City" on the first day was only 5.8 million, and it was directly "Now You See Me" was easily crushed, and Bona's Fatty Yu would probably have to vomit blood as compensation.
The other film is "Blood Drop", which is led by the wealthy and powerful boss of Media Asia Lin and China Film Group to form a Hong Kong film team. It is known as a passionate youth ancient costume martial arts 3D movie.
Produced by Chen Kexing and directed by Liu Weiqiang, it has a luxurious lineup composed of Huang Xiaoming, Li Yuchun, Ruan Jingtian, Jing Boran, Hua Zhao and Yu Wenle.
This movie has been very popular with Brother Chun before. Ruan Jingtian, who slays dragons, tigers and himself, has already won the Golden Horse Best Actor and just joined the army this year.
The publicity team of "Blood Drops" was so sexy that they posted Ruan Jingtian's bare spots in the draft. In order to make the picture look better, the makeup artist specially put makeup on the two points on his chest.
Huang Xiaoming dragged it on again. The crippled legs are here.
Huang Xiaoming fell down again.
The first-day box office of "Blood Drops" was only 6.75 million, and it also became the target of "Now You See Me".
Zhou Yutang made a condolence call to Huang Xiaoming during the road show.
The two are rivals on the court, but they are very close friends off the court, otherwise they would not bring him with them in the hot pot business.
Next.
The box office of Jackie Chan's "Zodiac" reached 48.5 million on the first day of release, almost completing the mission of sniping "Now You See Me".
At this point, the box office of the outstanding "Now You See Me" was inevitably diverted, and the daily box office dropped to just over 70 million.
But it has only been 8 days since its release, and the total box office has already reached 700 million.
"Now You See Me" came out on top. Seeing such horrific results, the entire film industry couldn't help but think of a possibility.
Perhaps Zhou Yutang really hopes to knock down the big mountain that is weighing on Celestial Film.
Han Sanping is obviously very enthusiastic about this. He calls Zhou Yutang every day to discuss the box office trend:
"Jackie Chan is still great, but he doesn't pose much of a threat."
"Xiangjiang It screened 284 times in the first week and grossed 15.95 million. It ranked first in the box office in Bay Province during the same period. The number of moviegoers in South Korea exceeded 3.8 million. Including Neon’s out-of-town box office, it totaled more than 30 million US dollars. It can be continued again. Rush up!”
China Film Group will update the real-time data of "Now You See Me" every day. In South Korea, SHOWBOX will handle the distribution, and Neon will be handled by Sony.
During this period, not only did Zhou Yutang gain fame and wealth, but his reputation was at its peak.
Even Mr. Han, who was officially the producer but did not participate in the process and only watched the finished film, reaped great benefits.
In China, after a project is successful, rewards will be given based on merit, and the leadership’s guidance is always the most important.
Han Sanye controls the projects controlled by the China Film Group, making a lot of foreign exchange, and even forming a situation of Chinese cultural export, which is also in line with the above-mentioned macro-policy of pursuing great development and prosperity of the entertainment industry.
At the end of the year, there were several conferences attended by important leaders from above, and Han Sanping, who was named and commended, made a big appearance.
Even the celebration banquet has been prepared in advance, just waiting for Zhou Yutang to finish his road show and return to Beijing.
Zhou Yutang was not arrogant. He firmly remembered the tragic end of the Milan midfielder who opened the champagne that year.
I just came out of Changsha Wanda International Cinema City. Accompanied by a burst of screams, several girls blocked Zhou Yutang’s path with their mobile phones.
“Director Zhou, we are all your fans, really. I like you so much.”
"Thank you for your love, but you are students, right? Why did you skip class?"
Zhou Yutang saw these girls wearing school uniforms with the words Tongshenghu printed on the chest. They looked like junior high school students.
"The school broadcast room is going to do a campus news recording activity. Let's record the viewing experience of "Now You See Me" together today." One of the girls was so excited that she stuttered even in her speech: " Well, Director Zhou, today is my birthday, can you send me a blessing? "
"Oh? "
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I wish you a long life."
Beside the girl, a girl with a little baby fat on her face was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
The brief meeting and exchange ended quickly.
A big shot like Zhou Yutang was very busy. After signing the names of these little girls, under the protection of security and assistants, he got in the car and rushed to the next schedule.
Facing the roar of people outside the movie theater and the envious looks, the slightly ordinary-looking girl with short hair jumped up on the spot: "Yeah, Jingyi, I'm going to get Zhou Yutang's autograph!"
"It's so worth it! For only 19.9 yuan, you can buy tickets by registering on the Maoyan app, and you have a chance to redeem celebrity photo cards at the cinema with your ticket number."
"Unfortunately, I won the lottery with Deng Oh, I didn’t draw Zhou Yutang.”
“Jingyi was so lucky, she drew Zhou Yutang’s autographed card.”
“I’ll take mine when the holiday comes. Register your mom’s mobile phone number with Maoyan and try to buy tickets.”
The girls who got on the bus back to school were chattering, with the joy unique to their age, and they exuded a youthful atmosphere.
"Zhou Yutang is really handsome!"
Listening to the classmates around him being crazy, a girl named Zhang Jingyi with a ponytail couldn't help laughing when she thought of Zhou Yutang's birthday blessing:
"Not only handsome, but also very interesting, Xiaomei, he also wishes you a long life."
"Haha, I will take the Beijing Film Academy exam in the future, become Director Zhou's junior sister, and become a fish girl !”
“Beiying.”
The girl named Zhang Jingyi swayed her pretty ponytail and showed a bright smile: "Then let's work hard together."
"Yu Tang, do you think highly of that little girl?"
On the way to the next stop of the road show, Zhou Yutang talked to Li Shuang about the girl he had just met. Sister Shuang asked curiously.
“Let’s take a look first, the qualifications are good.”
Zhou Yutang responded casually.
Directors have extremely vicious eyes.
Like Lao Mouzi’s selection of girls, there has never been a single Mou girl who stretched her crotch.
Zhou Yutang also felt a little strange.
The little girl named Zhang Jingyi has a pure and invincible face, which is commonly known as the face of first love. It may not be so stunning at first sight, but the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes.
“Then add the inspection list first.”
The talent scouting company under Jiangdong Entertainment has always been in operation and is responsible for inspecting potential talents from various places.
Enter the information about the school over there into the system in advance and prepare the backend in advance. It may be useful in the future.
"By the way, there is news from Pei Yun. The president of CCM has relented and bought out the Crown brokerage contract, but the price currently quoted is not low."
"The price can be negotiated. Let Secretary Li put more pressure on me."
Zhou Yutang crossed his legs and said slyly: "Rather than letting the Crown Group rot in his hands, it would be better to cash out a considerable sum of cash himself. I can’t think of a reason why President Zhutou would refuse if he could get a considerable personal commission.”
"Take it easy. I heard that Gao Yuanyuan has made a lot of tonic soup for you?"
"Sister Shuang, you really don't want to drink any pot."
Zhou Yutang shook his head helplessly Laughing.
“Haha!”
Ni Ni pursed her lips quietly.
She pretended to reply to the message, but in fact she glanced secretly. Fortunately, her boss didn't notice.
But seeing that Zhou Yutang's face was not angry, he admired Li Shuang inexplicably.
Ni Ni has met many female celebrities who usually play aloof persona and send him various humble messages.
Even the big guys in the industry are very polite when communicating.
Except for the two well-known good buddies, probably only Tian Ming and Li Shuang could make such a joke with him.
Zhou Yutang is not a man of pettiness, but he was not annoyed when he heard this. Instead, he chuckled and said: "Sister Shuang, Teacher Xue's movie can be officially announced."
After talking about business for a while, he changed his subject to gossip. The relationship between Pei Yun and Li Shuang: "I heard that Pei Yun flew to the capital specially and you talked until very late?"
"We slept."
"."
Li Shuang’s frankness left Zhou Yutang speechless.
It’s quite a wonderful feeling to have lesbians around you.
It is hard to imagine that Li Shuang came from a serious family background, and the older generation in the family had a high status, and the road had been paved for her long ago.
As a result, Li Shuang ignored his promising future and decided to join the entertainment industry.
Later, I followed Zhou Yutang to make Jiangdong Entertainment bigger and stronger. Now I also have shares in Jiangdong Entertainment, and I am a rich little woman with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
At Sister Shuang's age, her family has no choice but to arrange blind dates. In the past two years, she has introduced countless young talents to them, but she turned them all away.
The main theme is a deviant one.
It seems that Pei Yun is Sister Shuang's true love.
This is just an episode during the road show. In the film market, "The Devil" and "Blood Drops" have completely become cannon fodder in the Lunar New Year festival.
The former had a box office revenue of 21.38 million in its first weekend, while the latter was even worse, having just crossed the 15.23 million threshold in its first weekend.
On the contrary, Jackie Chan's "Zodiac" performed extremely well.
It exceeded 100 million in three days of release and 200 million in four days. However, the single-day box office championship in the mainland is still firmly in the hands of "Now You See Me".
On the tenth day of its release, "Now You See Me" happens to be the winter solstice, with a total box office revenue of 874 million.
On the eleventh day, which coincides with the weekend, the box office bucked the trend and rose again, with a single-day box office revenue of 86.52 million!
On the twelfth day, the single-day box office reached 83.49 million!
After breaking the record for the highest first-day box office, the highest single-day box office record, and the fastest to break the 500 million box office record.
The fastest to break the 1 billion box office record, it was also included in the bag.
And.
This movie was released less than two weeks ago, and it dominated the Lunar New Year festival in terms of box office share, film schedule, attendance and other data.
Obviously, there is still potential to be tapped at the box office.
“What a pity.”
On the set of Little Times, Yang Mi glanced at the director, who was having close physical contact with the actor, and curled her lips.
She is deeply reflecting on herself.
The sisters were still not decisive enough at that time.
Otherwise, if you work hard and play with some tricks, maybe Nazha, the heroine of the Four Horsemen, can be replaced by yourself. How glorious would you be?
“Sister Jia.”
"What's wrong, Mimi."
"Help me ask Xiaoyu about Yu Tang's schedule."
The box office of "Now You See Me" is still soaring, and at the same time, the official website is here At the same time, another film project news was also announced,
"The film lineup of the romance film "Beijing Meets Seattle" produced by Soochow Pictures has been confirmed, directed by Xue Xiaolu, starring Fan Binbin and Pan Yueming."
This movie has received a lot of attention.
Xue Xiaolu is a professor in the Film Literature Department of the Film Academy and an associate chairperson of the Beijing Filmmakers Association. His films "Ocean Paradise" and "Love Is Not Blind" are both well-known movies in the film industry.
The main character of the movie has been undecided before, and the media themselves started to stir up the excitement.
Li Binbin is passed on today, Xu Jinglei tomorrow, and Zhang Ziyi the day after tomorrow.
All the big names were eyeing him, but in the end, Teacher Fan, who was in the limelight, succeeded through the back door.
Pan Yueming's name suddenly appeared in the list of leading actors, and everyone's attention was shocked.
No wonder Zhou Yutang directly blocked Dong Jie with thunderous force.
The person the Governor wanted to use was treated like this, where could he put his face?
Many actors in the circle are envious of Pan Yueming.
He did not get depressed because of Dong Lian's cheating and scolding the divorce scandal. Instead, he ate the cake that Zhou Yutang fed to his mouth. With his partner, Fan Binbin, who was so red that he turned purple, his career seemed to be taking off.
Today.
Whoever Zhou Yutang wants to praise will become popular.
Just like Gulinazha, "Now You See Me" is still in theaters, and smart business endorsements have already come to your door, ready to sign this directly when the price is low. Fish girl.
Hu Ge and Deng Chao also received a lot of benefits.
When Zhou Yutang was on the phone with Liu Shishi, he received gossip that Cai Yinong was crazy about happiness recently.
With this movie, the first brother of Tang Dynasty directly erased his reputation as a box office poison and rose to the top in one step.
The same is true for Deng Chao. The movie has a box office of over 1 billion and is destined to be the representative work of his acting career.
The 29th, the fourth day after Christmas.
Zhou Yutang has just returned to the capital after finishing his road show.
The attention of the entire entertainment industry is firmly fixed on "Now You See Me". Just on Christmas Day, the box office bucked the trend and rose again, which is shockingly strong.
"On the seventeenth day of its release, the cumulative box office of "Now You See Me" reached 1.395 billion, successfully surpassing the 1.38 billion yuan of "Avatar" and setting a record for the peak box office of domestic movies!"
< br>
""Now You See Me" has been the box office champion in Hong Kong and Bay Province for two consecutive weeks. It was released simultaneously in South Korea for 17 days, with more than 8.8 million moviegoers and a neon box office of 2.8 billion yen. The total box office in Asia has been Over 2 billion!”
“Congratulations to Director Zhou Yutang, a new record was born”
The official media came out first and sent their blessings prepared in advance.
At the moment the record was born, the whole circle was completely excited.
The media and the Internet, various hot reports, and the headlines are all about the outstanding achievements of "Now You See Me".
Even the Film Bureau issued a special announcement to express its recognition and commendation of Zhou Yutang's personal achievements, which also brought his personal honor to an unprecedented peak.
Looking back at the three major directors Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang who started the blockbuster era and competed for dominance in the Lunar New Year festival, it seems like just yesterday.
However.
The current arena is no longer the one that the big guys are most familiar with.
ps: I posted the big chapter together. I watched a movie today, "Abandoning the Three Pests in Zhou Chu", and I was very impressed. I recommend it to everyone.
