Chapter 553: Ascension and Big Explosion, Fish Pond Explosion
Xiao Wang always thinks clearly.
A low-budget romantic comedy film like "The Story of the Ex" simply does not have the ability to compete with commercial blockbusters, so it is the wisest decision to stay away from the spotlight for the time being.
Valentine's Day can also be considered as a way to take advantage of the remaining heat of the Spring Festival, and avoid becoming cannon fodder.
Facts proved.
His judgment was correct.
This year’s Spring Festival holiday was extremely brutal, with two movies taking over 100 million in box office on the first day.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office revenue of "Search for the Dragon" was 205 million.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the box office revenue in a single day was 228 million.
Three days after its release, the total box office exceeded the 600 million threshold.
The entire film and television industry was shocked.
Another big-budget commercial film that exploded in popularity was born.
After breaking the first-day box office record for domestic films, it also set a new single-day box office record for Chinese-language films for three consecutive days.
The industry couldn’t help but think of what Zhou Yutang said.
I have made a step further than myself last year.
It really dominates the Spring Festival stalls with an invincible appearance.
The film "Havoc in Heaven", which had high hopes from Universe Dan and was about to compete with Zhou Yutang, failed to hold up after all. After three days of release, the total box office reached 258 million.
The expected fight between gods did not happen.
Released on the same day, Zhou Yutang's "The Secret of the Dragon" doubled the box office of the latter.
However, in Southeast Asian markets such as Xiangjiang and Haojiang, as well as Malay and Vietnam, it is comparable to "The Secret of the Dragon".
After all, the sign of the Great Sage has taken a lot of advantage.
Zhou Yutang is on the road show, and according to the rhythm of one city a day, he strives to cover the first-tier ticket warehouse cities across the country.
Liu Yifei took Auntie Liu on her announced trip to Hong Kong just a few years ago, and went shopping on the way.
I went back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year and was photographed going to the cinema with my best friend Yao Beina.
Miss Liu even got a perm for the Chinese New Year. She wore a white skirt and long boots. She was pure and beautiful but also had a mature temperament.
The fairy fans were filled with emotion.
The blind piercing experts of the past no longer exist.
Today Liu Yifei is no longer the little girl who spoke with a milky voice. She is already a girl full of mature charm.
This time it is rare to post a photo with Yao Beina on Weibo, as well as the movie ticket stub of "The Secret of the Dragon", with accompanying text.
“Let’s celebrate the Chinese New Year and watch a movie together. It’s great. Bi Xin Xin·JPG”
After Liu Yifei was abducted by Zhou Yutang to Sina Weibo, "My Love from the Star" attracted countless fans at that time, but she didn't usually do much business, but her influence was undoubted. This Weibo quickly became a hot search.
Many fans have been influenced by Amway.
Even the gods said it looked good, so out of curiosity, they also walked into the cinema.
Liu Tianxian expressed his support. Liu Shishi was not weak to others in his life.
In addition to posting promotional posts on Weibo, the first sister directly paid for more than a dozen games for the little lions.
Hu Ge, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruojun, etc. also posted on their blogs and booked a lottery for their fans, which can be regarded as a wave of support.
Many actors and stars in the industry have a tacit understanding of promoting on their own social media.
When it comes to internal entertainment connections, these two Xiangjiang Raptors combined are no match for Zhou Yutang.
After all, Hong Kong only has so few resources. Nowadays, half of the domestic entertainment industry is in the hands of Zhou Yutang. Everyone knows who to actively move closer to.
While "Secret of the Dragon" was a hit during the Spring Festival, Liu Shishi's "Reply 1988" was also launched to the anticipation of countless people.
Continuing the excellent reputation of the first hit "Reply 1997", this TV series has always been very topical.
This drama has the flavor of life in the 1980s, like gentle and mellow tea. As long as you watch it, you will have a feeling of bitterness and sweetness that lingers in your heart as if it has been repeated a hundred times.
As soon as Liu Shishi appeared on the stage, his pure and energetic cute appearance amazed countless people.
“My acting skills have improved a lot.”
Zhou Yutang was running a road show and watched a few episodes in the evening. While watching, he video chatted with Liu Shishi and offered praise.
He is running road shows, and Liu Shishi has also entered a formal work rhythm after the Chinese New Year.
This drama is also broadcast on two stars, with a ratings of 1.78% on the first day, which can be regarded as one of the hit dramas.
The key is that the Douban score is 9.5, which is almost unanimously positive, which is outrageous.
For a while, Liu Shishi was also in the limelight.
“You have a good vision.”
Hearing the praise from his sweetheart, Liu Shishi was naturally very happy, but his tone was a bit arrogant: "Teacher Song Wen even sent a message to praise me."
"Then let Teacher Cao carve this piece of yours." Jade.”
“Alas!”
The smile on Liu Shishi’s gentle and beautiful face disappeared instantly, and she said with some disappointment: “Dear, I always feel that I am leaving. Teacher Cao’s request is still far away.”
“Don’t be anxious, take your time”
Zhou Yutang laughed dumbly and encouraged: "Old Cao said that you have made great progress. I will give him some cigarettes and wine later. He will definitely praise you."
"Last time you asked me to take you to Teacher Cao, He is quite happy.”
“You can’t buy the special cigarettes even if you have money. How can you not be happy?”
Liu Shishi has another movie called “The Tuner”. , is expected to be launched in April at the latest.
Cao Baoping is not as easy to talk to as Zhang Songwen.
In several early crew meetings, Teacher Cao did not lower his standards just because Liu Shishi was Zhou Yutang's man.
Every director has his own style of doing things.
Cao Baoping's style is probably so delicate and real as to be outrageous.
The art director Lou Pan, who has worked with him for nearly ten years, once said that Cao Baoping is a director who is extremely demanding on details, almost to the point of perversion.
For example, in a certain scene in the movie, the inside of the cabinet may not be visible at all. Cao Baoping will ask to place props in the cabinet according to the character's personality
Only by struggling like this can we produce high-quality products.
Lao Cao has done very well on several projects.
Zhou Yutang felt that Cao Baoping was good at teaching actors, so he entrusted Liu Shishi to him.
When Mr. Zhou appeared in "Li Mi's Conjecture", he was almost forced to collapse by Lao Cao, but in the end he contributed a classic acting skill.
Liu Shishi also cherished this opportunity very much. While he was busy promoting the drama, he did not forget to call Cao Baoping to report his experience.
Originally, I was quite critical of Liu Shishi, the big boss who stuffed the crew into a trendy little girl.
If Cao Baoping had to choose, he would definitely choose a powerful actress like Zhou Xun.
But Zhou Yutang’s money making ability is too strong.
As long as Cao Baoping's projects require money, he will give money, and he will give people.
For "Heart of the Burning Sun" and this project for which he was the screenwriter, at least 60 million was invested.
Even though he was given the remuneration of a top director, Cao Baoping could not find any reason to refuse.
After a period of contact, he had a great change in his view of Liu Shishi.
Although his talent is not top-notch, he is very serious and attentive to his work, which is quite recognized by Lao Cao.
The heroine in the movie pretends to be blind, but she really observes and experiences the life and emotions of blind people.
Also, Liu Shishi showed great respect for his attitude.
One mouthful of Teacher Cao, and even specially sent cigarettes and wine to my home during the Chinese New Year.
Children can be taught!
Cao Baoping, who is also a teacher at Nortel, gave guidance: "The difficult part for your role is how to be natural in terms of temperament, behavior, and language." "Currently, your performance is more natural than I have made some progress at the beginning, but it is still relatively external. What I want is an overall change, which is not easy. You can take your time and there is still time."
" Thank you, Teacher Cao.”
Liu Shishi said firmly: "I will definitely work hard."
"Searching for the Dragon" swept the Spring Festival season, suppressing the two fierce dragons crossing the river in the media's mouth.
On the fourth day, it collected 120 million yuan, on the fifth day of the month, it collected another 98.55 million yuan, and on the sixth day of the month, it collected another 83.13 million yuan.
On the seventh day, facing the impact of the Disney animated film "Frozen", Zhou Yutang's exclusive interview and variety show happened to be launched.
The box office bucked the trend and rose that day, still closing at 88.75 million.
So far.
Including pre-sale box office, it took less than 8 full days, and the cumulative total box office has reached 1.024 billion.
Zhou Yutang told the industry what it means to be a super first-tier commercial film director.
Strongly dominating the Spring Festival period, news about movie box office data is updated on time every day, with various hot reports from the media and the Internet!
“This box office trend and the attendance rate remain high, which is even more exaggerated than "Now You See Me" at the time. I hope to break that record."
"Another record has been broken, the fastest domestic film to break 1 billion."
"I just want to say that Zhou Yutang is really awesome."
"He is indeed an eternal god, he The two consecutive special effects blockbusters have brought Chinese-language films into the era of heavy industry.”
On Nortel's official website, Zhou Yutang is on the homepage, and a text message is also sent out, "Celebrating our school's outstanding student Zhou Yutang, the new film "The Secret of the Dragon" has a box office of more than 1 billion!"
La Pei Kang's call came in: "Yu Tang, the total overseas box office revenue in Southeast Asia and other Asia-Pacific regions has exceeded 30 million US dollars."
This is the creation of foreign exchange, which is more meaningful than the domestic box office. At this time, the official media cannot avoid reporting on the incident.
The box office success of "The Secret of the Dragon" has made Zhou Yutang's reputation skyrocketing, and it has also benefited Dilmurat Dilmurat, Liu Huohua and Chen Minghao a lot.
For celebrities, nationality and popularity are very important, but when judging a celebrity in the industry, they still rely on its commercial value.
The box office sales of the movies you participate in are a very important indicator.
Prove to be recognized and accepted by the audience.
Liu Huohua once had a good time, but in the past few years, he had been hanging out with Lu Chuan, and the more he got back, the more he went back. Now with the help of Hu Bayi, one of the golden trio, he has ushered in the second career of his career. spring.
Chen Minghao, on the other hand, instantly became a well-known powerful actor of the Mesozoic generation from a young transparent person.
Zhou Yutang also arranged a press release to hype up the fact that Chen Minghao gained dozens of pounds for this role.
The effect is not bad.
Proper marketing can definitely make the audience more aware of such a good actor.
Dilraba's commercial value has also skyrocketed. Even Nazha, who has stunning scenes in the movie, has received several advertising offers.
Two northern Xinjiang flowers from Jiangdong took off.
......
The box office boom seems to have given the crew and creators a stimulant.
Traveling from city to city in a day, the boat and the car are tiring, and you will inevitably be tired and exhausted.
But watching the box office soar every day, I am in good spirits. Governor Jiangdong is ready to open champagne at halftime, and has even booked a hotel for the celebration banquet.
While on the road show, Zhou Yutang suddenly heard Liu Huohua and others talking about something.
Veteran actor Wu Ma from Xiangjiang passed away.
“A bit sudden.”
Zhou Yutang glanced at the news on the Internet.
In addition to the record-breaking and miraculous box office success of "The Secret of the Dragon" and the explosive reputation of "Reply 1988", there are also many news reports on this matter.
He and Teacher Wuma once met at Boss Yang's cocktail party and chatted for a few words. They felt that they were quite amiable and friendly seniors.
"When I was young, I saw him boating on the lake in "The Swordsman". The song "Sounds of laughter across the ocean" was particularly touching." Liu Huohua shook his head and sighed.
"Hua Zi, you are a bit shameless."
Chen Minghao broke up the trouble and said with a smile: "When you were really young, people's movies hadn't been made yet."
"Isn't it Zhang Min's version? Brother, I am in my prime."
Others see Liu Huohua's growth. He has a stern face, but after getting to know each other day and night in the past few days, he is quite good at joking.
It’s right to think about it, can a really honest person win over that beautiful woman with crooked fruit?
When we talked about the once glorious Xiangjiang movie, everyone was a little embarrassed, but it was indeed worthy of the title. There are many talented people.
This martial arts teacher is Chang Cheh's disciple and Hu Jinquan's private school disciple. He can act, write, direct, and plan. He is definitely a rare talent in the Hong Kong film industry.
Many classic characters have been left behind.
Zhou Yutang still remembers the old Taoist priest Yan Chixia in A Chinese Ghost Story.
Unfortunately, since then, there has been no ghost hunter or demon hunter in the world.
Look at the current Hong Kong circle.
The sun is fading, and after the four heavenly kings, only Principal Gu and the handsome boy Azu can stand on the stage.
Teacher Chen is obsessed with photography, Yu Wenle is addicted to bars, and the entire young generation has collapsed.
It is impossible to say that we will still be these people ten years from now.
“What happened to Naza recently?”
“Shh, keep your voice down.”
Liu Huohua coughed and pulled Chen Minghao's arm.
The two old men's eyes met and they knew each other instantly.
It’s nothing more than jealousy over Zhou Yutang.
Anyone who is not blind can see it.
Nazha and Reba, the two girls, always got tired of being by Zhou Yutang's side no matter what happened.
If it's nothing, there's something wrong with it.
But even if they knew, they wouldn't say much.
After all, it is Zhou Yutang’s private matter, and he might still enjoy it.
Nazar was very happy at first.
She was full of joy and thought that during this road show, she would be able to spend time with Zhou Yutang.
With the companionship of the world of mortals, we are carefree and unrestrained, riding horses galloping at night, sharing the prosperity of the world.
But things were not what she imagined.
The fox tail of Reba, who was traveling together on the road show, gradually came out.
After getting along day and night these past few days, no matter how slow Nazha was, she could tell that something was wrong.
Reba didn't even avoid her a few times. She joked with Zhou Yutang in front of her and even made intimate gestures.
That day happened to be a road show in the Magic City. After finishing her daytime work, Nazha found an opportunity to block Reba in the room while Zhou Yutang was going to a dinner date with Wu Heru, the boss of the Magic City Cinema.
"Nazha, why are you here?"
"I have something to ask you."
Nazha had a cold face.
Reba's mind was spinning rapidly and she realized that something was wrong with her tone.
My heart skipped a beat.
