Chapter 595 The best of us, creating a hit
At this point in the filming of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", only the finishing work is left, and some scenes need to be reshot.
This drama is not actually a large-scale production with magnificent scenes. There are almost no special effects scenes, and only the massacre in the auditorium requires rendering.
After Zhou Yutang’s role was completed, he returned to the capital in a low-key manner.
As soon as I came out of the airport passage, I saw the very conspicuous green characters "One step away, 12.18, Jiang Wen" on the south side of the T3 terminal.
Good guy, it’s really novel to think of planting grass at the airport as a marketing method.
Zhou Yutang stopped to look at it for a while, and even took a photo and sent it to Jiang Wen. Unexpectedly, the other party called quickly,
"Back?"
"Well, as soon as I got off the plane, I saw your poster, Director Jiang. It's a bit eye-catching."
"It must be eye-catching. Let's see how my brother performs during this Lunar New Year period."
It's still Jiang Wen's style, direct and domineering enough.
Today's Chinese film market is developing rapidly compared to a few years ago. Seeing Zhou Yutang reaching the top, movies with a box office of over 1 billion have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Zhou Xingxing, etc. have all made big moves. , Jiang Wen probably felt a little hot in his heart.
Zhou Yutang chatted while walking, and hung up the phone only after getting in the car.
I haven't forgotten to tell Ni Ni: "This is a good way of publicity. When we have the meeting later, you can ask the publicity department to take note of it."
Communicate with the Capital Airport in advance. The monthly price of pasture will not exceed 100,000.
This price, compared with the price of a light box for a bus shelter, which can easily reach millions, means you cannot suffer a loss or be cheated.
"Director Zhou, congratulations on wrapping up "Zhou Chu's Three Evils". I don't know when this movie will be released?"
"This depends on Director Zhang, wait. After the crew has finished filming, we’ll have to wait and see what the progress will be. It’s hard to tell at the moment. I’ll try to meet you during the Spring Festival.”
“Will you join the cast of “Now You See Me 2” next?
“Wait until the company’s matters are dealt with”
Zhou Yutang looked familiar to the entertainment reporter named Ah Fei on his badge. Before entering the Jiangdong Building, he answered a few questions for him.
Back in the office, there is another pile of documents to be signed.
After finishing the work at hand, it was lunch time, so I had a long-lost meal of noodles in the company cafeteria.
I looked up and saw entertainment news.
Zhang Guoli held a media conference and apologized to the public on behalf of his son with a haggard look.
"He feels so much older."
Ni Ni listlessly used a fork to fork the chicken breast in his salad nutrition package.
“My hair has turned a lot whiter.”
Zhou Yutang was mixing noodles. He hadn’t seen her for more than half a year. Zhang Guoli looked as if he had aged by more than ten years.
The only person in this circle who has won second-class merit, Lao Zhang must be a figure, but it is a pity that his son really does not live up to his expectations.
The progress of the bet between Guoli Film and Television and Huayi is probably not going smoothly. Zhang Guoli is busy working on various projects and has to wipe his son's ass. He is also exhausted mentally and physically.
As the noodles are mixed, the rich aroma of the sauce is tantalizing.
Zhou Yutang saw Ni Ni staring eagerly into his bowl.
“Do you want to eat?”
“I am losing weight and don’t want to eat.”
Ni Ni shook his head and denied it, but was tempted to swallow by the deluxe version of miscellaneous sauce noodles with fried eggs and extra beef.
“Your figure is just right.”
Zhou Yutang took a look.
Generally, for girls as heavy as Ni Ni, pandas are not too big.
But she was gifted, and the thin branches bore fruit, stretching the white lace shirt tightly.
The shirt was tucked into her narrow waist, and her lower body was in an A-line skirt. Her fair legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings were crossed, and her feet were wearing shallow soft-soled bow-tie flats.
This figure is probably the type that kills both men and women.
"I can't eat, can you do me a favor and solve half of the problem?"
"Well, if you want me to eat, I have to eat."
The sky in my mind After fighting for a long time, Ni Ni finally followed his heart.
It was just the look of the little tongue quietly licking the red lips.
It looks like a graceful and elegant ragdoll cat.
The meeting lasted until evening, with Jiang Xuezhen mainly reporting on his work.
"The Best of Us" has received rave reviews since it was aired on Jiangsu Channel. Although the average ratings of 1.5% is not a big hit, it cannot compare with the momentum and glory of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
But considering the audience of campus youth-themed TV series, since it was broadcast, it has received a high score of 8.6 on Douban, which can be regarded as a great success.
And as the number of viewers increases, the rating actually has a slowly rising trend.
"Sister Xuenuo, "A Little Smile is Alluring" is scheduled to be broadcast on National Day. Please follow up on the follow-up series promotion plan."
"Okay."
Jiang Xueruo was full of enthusiasm and handed over another document: "Mr. Zhou, there are still a few roles left in the casting of "Flower Thousand Bones""
"You and Director Lin will watch over this matter." Do it, finally get the list.”
Zhou Yutang took out the customized Tissot men's watch from the drawer and put it on without even looking at it.
"Mr. Zhou, I suddenly remembered that Director Lin still has something to talk to me about." Jiang Xuezhen stood up and left in a sensible manner.
“Well, let’s go.”
Zhou Yutang adjusted the time and got up to go to the appointment.
The dinner was illuminated by candlelight.
It also illuminated the pure and beautiful cheeks of Liu Yifei opposite her.
Miss Liu, who went to Rome some time ago, also went to Barcelona for a tour.
After returning home from watching a show at Paris Fashion Week, he was busy shooting for fashion magazines. When he learned that Zhou Yutang had finished his filming and returned to the capital, he had a romantic candlelight dinner tonight.
It can be seen that she is very satisfied with Zhou Yutang's arrangement tonight. She usually doesn't talk much, but she is very excited to share interesting things about her work and life.
The cultivator asked, "As monks, we are naturally duty-bound."
Liu Yifei lay quietly in Zhou Yutang's arms, listening to his heartbeat.
Thought of something suddenly, he stood up suddenly, took the remote control and switched to Jiangsu Province Channel. Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned: "You are still watching this?"
"The Most Powerful TV" was playing on the TV. "Okay Us", this drama has a total of 24 episodes, which will be broadcast in the middle of the month and will end at the end of the month.
Geng Geng finally met Yu Huai, and the two were destined to come together.
As for Lu Xinghe, it is destined to be a tragedy.
Miss Liu rested her head on Zhou Yutang's shoulder and watched with great enthusiasm. From time to time, she also talked about the plot based on her life experiences.
She has followed Aunt Liu to live in America since she was a child. The pace of school life there is very different from that in China.
Perhaps the learning aspect is much more relaxed, but when students from different countries and skin colors come together, there are all kinds of discrimination and hidden rules.
"I'm curious, how do you live there?" Zhou Yutang gently combed Liu Yifei's thick black hair with his fingers.
“There was a period of time when I was very uncomfortable and I didn’t want to tell my mother, so I had to hold on by myself.”
Liu Yifei tilted her head and said in a nostalgic tone: "So sometimes, I really don't want to go to school."
"I remember you said that you seemed to have been bullied by a bad girl?"
"Then At this level, it’s actually not bad.”
Miss Liu continued to ramble: “There are just a few South Korean girls who always make things difficult for me. I was sitting there just fine in class, and suddenly the South Korean girl suddenly found myself in trouble. He came over and pulled my hair and drew something on me with a pen."
"I told the principal and called the parents right after class, and they were all punished."
Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Yifei tighter, with a sense of pity. While the two were talking, Liu Yifei's cell phone suddenly rang. She thought it was Aunt Liu calling and made a "shh" gesture to Zhou Yutang.
When I picked it up, I realized it was Jiang Xin.
The two women chatted for a while and hung up the phone.
Zhou Yutang said with a half-smile, "You have a good relationship with Jiang Xin?"
"It's not bad. Sister Xin took good care of me when she was filming Tianlong."
"We chatted often, but I haven't seen her for a while recently. She was auditioning for a role in "Flower Thousand Bones" in Jiangdong."
Liu Yifei put her hair back and said simply: "Xiao Zhou, you don't have to think about me."
With the success of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" ahead of him, Jiang Dongxin The drama "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" also caused an uproar in the industry.
The supporting roles were all being competed by all the gods in the industry. Zhou Yutang picked up his phone and glanced at the casting report compiled by Ni Ni.
Jiang Xin auditioned for the supporting actress Xia Zixun. She was one of the Five Immortals, but she loved Bai Zihua so much that she couldn't love her, and ended up in tragedy, which was quite eye-catching.
However, she has many opponents. Li Xiaoran, Huo Siyan, Jiang Yiyan, etc. are all strong opponents.
Zhou Yutang thought for a while and sent a message to Jiang Xueyuan.
Since I have taken care of Miss Liu before.
It doesn't hurt to give her a hand by the way.
"Ah ah, this drama is really good. Xiao Zhao is so cute and cute. The key role is very real. It reminds me of my high school days."
"When I saw their stories, I was reminded of A lot of things about myself are a bit sad, maybe this is the youth of ordinary people."
"Except for the "Classmate" series, the best youth drama I have watched in recent years has to be Jiangdong Entertainment."
"The same goes for me upstairs."
"The night is long and the stars are about to dawn. Am I the only one who feels that Lu Xinghe is pitiful?"
< br>
After the finale aired, the highest ratings that night reached 1.83. The Weibo topic "The Best of Us" had 550 million views that day, and hundreds of thousands of netizens reminisced and discussed their youth.
Since its broadcast, it has been firmly in the top three of Baidu TV series list and has never been out of the top three. The exclusive online broadcast volume of Station B has steadily exceeded 400 million.
Zhu Yilong and Zhao Liying were originally top-tier celebrities in the industry, but now they are just the icing on the cake. It is the supporting actors in the drama who have received a wave of traffic.
Jiang Niannian, played by Yang Zi, is Geng Geng’s best friend and a bit of a tomboy. She gives Geng Geng a lot of advice in the play, and her popularity skyrocketed as she became a hot search topic.
On the way to the celebration banquet, Zhou Yutang looked through the comments on the Internet, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Since the response has been so overwhelming.
Then, "Secret Love: Orange Born in Huainan" in Chang'an in August, which is the last part of Zhenhua Trilogy, can also be prepared.
He wants to personally create another youth IP hit after "Welcome to School Together".
“Congratulations, Director Zhou.”
“Mr. Zhou, I’d like to toast you.”
"Chi Ling" was successfully completed, and the final box office was fixed at 2.018 billion. Zhou Yutang joined the cast immediately after returning from Cannes.
We didn’t even hold a celebration party. This time, we invited many people, including teachers from the film school.
When Zhou Yutang saw Wang Jinsong holding a wine glass and smiling, he always felt like an old fox.
After "Chi Ling" won the award at Cannes, the Film Academy hung up a red banner for two months.
As soon as you open the homepage of the school's official website, you can see Zhou Yutang's bright smile hanging on it.
Zhou Yutang tried hard to talk, but finally did not arrange for the humanoid to stand up. However, Dean Wang had another idea. When the school started this year, he was invited to give a speech to the junior students.
The reasons are very good and powerful.
I don’t know how many juniors and juniors chose film school because of Zhou Yutang.
But Zhou Yutang has always been insensitive to such troublesome things like appearing holy in front of people, and this time is no exception.
After arguing with Dean Wang, he argued that he had a problem at hand, but Lao Wang had nothing to do - he couldn't treat it as delaying Zhou Yutang's project.
"Ignore him."
Lao Tian's face was red and he was in good condition recently. He looked more than ten years younger. He found his most proud disciple: "You are busy with your own business. Let's talk when you have time. No Forget about the schedule.”
“Teacher Tian still understands me.”
Zhou Yutang was a little touched.
“Ahem.”
Tian Zhuangzang covered his mouth and coughed twice: "But there is a commendation meeting at the Directors Association. You'd better take the time to come over, just half a day."
Lao Deng, for his old sweetheart, even Ai Anyone can sell it.
The emotional fire in Zhou Yutang's heart was extinguished instantly.
The current chairman of the China Directors Guild is Li Shaohong. Needless to say, his relationship with Tian Zhuangzhuang.
The high-rise building was full of guests, and they drank wine and drank wine.
To be successful in life, you must have all the fun. Zhou Yutang did not refuse everyone who came tonight and drank a lot of wine.
La Pei Kang was also very happy.
Although "Chi Ling" was a project led by Han Sanping at the end of his reign.
However, the box office performance has declined since he took office. The predecessors planted trees and the latter will enjoy the shade. The system has its own benefits.
Being pulled to the side mysteriously by Pei Kang, Zhou Yutang was a little confused,
"La Dong, what's going on?"
"I have a project that I want to talk to you about."
La Pei Kang kept talking.
It suddenly dawned on Zhou Yutang that the martial arts classic that once made a splash in Hollywood was also director Li An's famous work.
The sequel to the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" project "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: The Sword of the Dark" is launched.
The copyright is in the hands of Weinstein Pictures. Harvey, the profit-seeking fat man, saw that the Chinese film market was booming and sent people to contact China Film to prepare a Sino-US co-production project.
"La Dong, has the contract been signed?"
"The conditions given by the other party are very good, and it has been signed."
La Pei Kang looked at Zhou Yutang with a slightly expression. Excited: "Yu Tang, are you interested?"
"."
Zhou Yutang pondered for a long time, then declined with regret: "La Dong, my schedule is very tight and I really don't have time."
When he was in Bay Province, director Li An had talked with him about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" "The sequel to ".
Weinstein originally approached director Li An first, but Li An had another project in hand recently.
This IP can be regarded as the golden signature of Chinese martial arts films, but in Zhou Yutang's view, it is undoubtedly a hot potato.
First of all, it is basically impossible to achieve the height of the previous work.
The box office potential of this old-school martial arts adaptation may not be ideal.
The answer to the previous generation’s version was novels by martial arts masters such as Jin Yong and Gu Long. Now the times are developing and entertainment methods are gradually increasing.
Young audiences of this generation and beyond are bound to be more influenced by online novels.
But everyone has different positions.
From La Peikang’s perspective, the temptation of cultural exchange projects between the two countries is too great.
Now that the contract has been signed, Zhou Yutang can't pour cold water on him.
I can only mourn for him in my heart.
La Dong, I wish you good luck.
