Chapter 605: Big explosion on the first day, dominating the world
“Director Zhou, you called me?”
Before Li Xue could react, Dong Qiaoqiao stood beside her very excitedly Standing up, Zhou Yutang asked with a smile: "How did you feel after watching the movie?"
The staff quickly stepped forward and handed the microphone into her hand. Dong Qiaoqiao answered quite simply: "This is a very good movie." A good movie."
"Where is the classmate next to you, can you please answer it?"
"Xiaoxue, Zhou Yutang is calling you."
Dong Qiaoqiao sat back and handed the microphone to his best friend: "Mengmeng, stand up."
He breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly became the center of everyone's presence again Being the center of attention, Li Xue's heartstrings tightened and she didn't care to pay attention to her best friend's joke.
Looking up at Zhou Yutang, I felt that his eyes were extremely affectionate, his face felt a little feverish for no reason, and he didn't know what to say.
“Don’t be nervous, how old are you this year?”
Zhou Yutang's gentle voice made Li Xue gradually relax: "Well, actually I have graduated. Because I am your fan, I came back to school to have a look."
"Have you ever come to Jiangdong to try it out? "Drama?"
Zhou Yutang glanced at her and suddenly asked.
“Wow, Xiaoxue, he actually still remembers it!”
Dong Qiaoqiao’s eyes shone, and he quietly touched his best friend with his elbow. Li Xue also felt a little surprised: “Yes, we were together once. I went to audition for "Xiu Chun Dao", but unfortunately I wasn't selected."
"I have an impression that you have appeared on a TV show on Lu Provincial Station."
"."
Li Xue's face turned red instantly, and the blush spread to her crystal white ears.
Speaking of which, Zhou Yutang is also to blame for this matter.
At that time, Mingjie Company cooperated with Jiangsu Province and Taiwan to create the variety show "If You Are the One", which unexpectedly became popular.
Then, dating variety shows sprung up on TV stations across the country.
Lu Province Satellite TV also followed suit and launched a blind date program called "Love Knocks on the Door."
At that time, Li Xue was still a student of Beijing Dance University.
When she returned to her hometown during the winter vacation, she was naively dragged by her grandma to be a guest on this blind date show. She somehow managed to hold hands with her and happily earned five hundred yuan.
I didn’t expect Zhou Yutang to have watched this show. The best friend next to me was having a hard time holding back her laughter, and her body was twitching.
If there weren't so many people present, she would have laughed like a pig.
If possible, Li Xue, who died in society, really wanted to find a hole at the scene and crawl into it directly.
Zhou Yutang seemed to have noticed her dilemma and did not mention it further. He just asked: "I just saw you and your friends chatting happily. Can you tell me how you felt after watching the movie?"
"If you feel it."
Li Xue, who returned to normal from the red temperature state, said: "I like the performances of Huang Bo and Xu Zheng very much, they are very humorous. Of course, you are also very handsome in the movie .”
"Thank you for your like."
"I will let my friends go into the cinema to watch it." Li Xue's emotional intelligence is quite high.
“Next, ask another classmate to get up and chat.”
Zhou Yutang’s prosopagnosia seems to have been cured. His eyes are as sharp as radar, scanning the crowd and clicking again. I met another Beiwu girl with good figure and temperament.
The girl's eyes shone and she asked: "Director Zhou, you participated in investing in this movie and also participated in the behind-the-scenes work. What exactly does this movie want to express to the audience?"
"I have talked with Ning Hao many times about this issue. I personally feel that this movie is about a process of growth and how a person faces difficulties in life."
Zhou Yutang was in a very good mood. Yes, he took the microphone and said slowly and unhurriedly: "The theme of the movie is how to 'let go'. I hope that viewers who watch this movie will understand that the key to whether a person can let go is whether he can reconcile with the past."
“On the first day of its release, "The Flowers of the Heart" grossed 138 million at the box office, strongly leading the National Day schedule!"
""Dear" grossed 45.8 million at the box office in three days, and the films are scheduled Fearing major cuts, Chen Ke was defeated in Maicheng! "
""Golden Age" has a luxurious star cast and only earned 11 million at the box office on the first day. What is the problem? "
The National Day holiday that countless migrant workers have been waiting for has finally arrived, and several movies have been released together.
The most eye-catching event is naturally the two great Hong Kong directors Chen Kexing and Xu Anhua teaming up to compete with Mainland director Ning Hao.
"Dear", which was released two days in advance, has a fairly stable box office trend.
However, this kind of slightly heavy literary and artistic movie is destined to be no match for "Heart Blossoms", which can bring a relaxed and enjoyable viewing experience to the audience.
As for "The Golden Age", Xu An has a strong personal style. Although it has a good reputation, it was not well received and the box office performance was not as expected.
The industry's original prediction of chaos among the heroes did not happen.
The two great Xiangjiang directors joined forces, but it seemed that they could not prevent Ning Hao from breaking out.
Since the release of "Butterfly Love", it has easily eliminated these two movies together, instantly rewriting the entire National Day schedule.
The box office exceeded 100 million in a single day!
Such explosive results not only outperform the entire National Day season, but are also worthy of praise in the entire Chinese film industry.
"My stomach hurts from laughing so much. I want Avatar, and Lei Jiayin's part is not bad either." - Destiny Alone
"Brother Bo, I really don't blame Kang Xiaoyu, Zhou Yutang is so handsome, if it were me, he would be Even women can’t stand it.”——Ying Fei
“Brother, even my men can’t stand it.”——Ye Baixuan
“The movie upstairs is a bit disgusting, Ning Hao’s movie. The photo is really good, full of laughter.”——Tianguang 1999

"It's time to take a quick trip." - Huang Wu< br>
A large number of migrant workers walked into the cinema, briefly escaping from the dull reality and immersed themselves in the wonderful world of movies.
After reading it, I still feel that it is not enough, so I shared it with my friends.
With the overwhelming publicity and boost, the hot search reached the top of all online platforms, and the popularity quickly grew.
The first wave of word-of-mouth ratings for the movie were released. The Maoyan app rating was as high as 9.6, and it was highly recommended on the homepage that it was worth watching.
The Douban score is also 8.3, although this score may decrease in the future as the number of people who rate it increases.
But it has also created the peak record of Ning Hao's director career.
Ning Hao, whose influence has gradually waned since Stone and Racing, finally proved to the audience that the dark horse director was back.
“Congratulations, husband.”
While Zhou Yutang was in the meeting, he received news from Liu Shishi.
At this time, the first sister was in Xiangjiang, working as an event platform for a high-end luxury jewelry brand.
She also paid attention to the box office of the movie. Not only did she reserve a ticket on Weibo, but she also went to the cinema to watch the movie with her best friend Fala Chen in Xiangjiang and took photos together.
Liu Shishi is really extremely popular now.
Wearing ES’s high-end fashion of the season, the Paris team contacted them directly.
This kind of treatment is the best among contemporary little flowers.
At the event, the security guard arranged by the brand owner became a hot topic.
On the same day.
Liu Shishi held up her skirt and walked in the wind, walking through the crowds.
Radiant and in perfect condition.
A security guard arranged by the brand struggled to stop the excited fans and watched Liu Shishi off frequently, with a satisfied smile on his rather prim and serious face.
Some netizens jokingly called the security guard "the first time I feel so happy at work."
Afterwards, a fan who was stopped outside by the security guard and did not want to be named broke the news online.
At the event site, the security guard was right in front of her, blocking her tightly so that no one could go too far.
The uncle guarded everything and thought very beautifully, so that the fan would remember to take a heroic photo of himself protecting Liu Shishi.
This kind-hearted little lion said he was too honest, but he finally helped take the photo, which unexpectedly became a hot topic.
Ni Ni lowered her eyes and saw Zhou Yutang replying to the message. The corners of her mouth pursed in a soft arc, and she knew what was going on.
I guess she is either a fairy or a sister.
The big boss was distracted during the meeting, and everyone just pretended that nothing happened.
Only Ni Ni pushed away her chair, walked to him, and whispered: "Boss, today's schedule is very tight, and I have to attend the launch conference of Director Xu's movie."
"Mr. Jiang."
Zhou Yutang glanced at the time, put the phone aside, and stood up with support on the table: "You can check out "Prince Concubine's Promotion", and follow up with "A Slight Smile Is Allure" "Propaganda work."
"Okay, boss."
"We will discuss other matters after the specific ratings come out."
Ni Ni followed Zhou Yutang. After getting in the car, I couldn't help but asked curiously: "Boss, you are very optimistic that Director Xu can succeed in this project?"
"It's hard to say, there is nothing wrong with the script. It depends on how Teacher Xu does it."
In front of Ni Ni, Zhou Yutang did not hide his thoughts and said directly: "It is probably a bit difficult to make money."
< br>"Since it is very likely that you will not make any money, then why did you go over and stand up personally, just for the sake of favor?"
Ni Ni was even more confused.
Given Zhou Yutang’s status, almost all big projects in the circle will send him invitations.
Even if you can't bring him into the game, it's great to be able to get a wave of traffic.
It’s just that Zhou Yutang lives in seclusion, preferring time management and rarely attending the platform. Today is an exception.
“It’s because these projects are very likely not to make money, so I went there.”
Zhou Yutang crossed his legs and lowered his head while reading the news: “Even if you lose money in the end, it will still be a loss. It’s worth doing, as long as there are more movies like this and a hundred flowers bloom, it will be beneficial to the entire Chinese film market.”
“I understand”
The movement of Ni Ni's eyes was like a pair of autumn water with shimmering light.
Everyone stands in a different position and looks at the problem from a different perspective.
From Zhou Yutang's point of view, he does some things not to make money.
As Zhou Yutang's personal secretary, Ni Ni naturally knows that her boss has a special support fund at the film school and has been investing continuously.
It is mainly used to support those film school teachers and students who are talented but limited by financial conditions, and help them put the works they want to make into reality.
There will be no such thing as the relevant households receiving the quota for poor students.
To receive this funding, the prerequisite is to pass cross-examination by several teachers headed by Tian Zhuangzhuang.
If the amount exceeds a certain amount, Zhou Yutang will have to nod personally. At present, it can only support short films and low-cost production projects, and it has already produced many high-quality products.
Lu Yang and Jin Yukun, who has won many awards at home and abroad and is famous, are both talents cultivated from this special support program.
Xu Haofeng himself was responsible for the qualification review of the Jiangdong Film Academy Support Fund. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not use the money in the support fund and did not even look for Zhou Yutang.
Although Lao Xu has an unshakable position in the field of modern martial arts, "The Grandmaster" as a screenwriter helped the Sunglasses King reach his peak. Even Brother Chen Kai fell in love with his "Taoist Descending the Mountain" and made it into a movie. movie.
However, the returns on the projects he started were worrying, and the first two films he directed were not satisfactory at the box office.
Capital is very realistic. As long as you can make money, it can lift you to the sky.
It cannot bring about capital-level income, and even the dog on the roadside will not look at you twice.
Xu Haofeng was still worried about the funds for his new play "Master" at first.
Later, Tian Zhuangzhuang mentioned it in front of his disciple, and Zhou Yutang took the lead and introduced the project to Guangguang Li Xiaoping and Wanda’s Ye Ning.
Wanda is rich and powerful, and Li Xiaoping is the right-hand man of Guangguang Pharaoh and is in charge of the Guangzhou Film Department. The two companies have a close cooperative relationship with Zhou Yutang.
After negotiation, the three companies quickly reached an agreement and raised a capital of 35 million yuan for "The Master".
At this point, this game is formed.
With the funds in place, Xu Haofeng was gearing up and wanted to do something big.
For this film, he plans to try to add some commercial film elements to the genre of literary and artistic films, and specially invited Berlin actor Liao Fan to star.
The heroine is Xiao Song Jia.
This is also the second collaboration between Liao Fan and Song Jia after eight years in "Curiosity Killed the Cat".
Not only are these two acting talents, but there are also supporting actors in the film, including Jin Shijie and Jiang Wenli, all of whom are seasoned actors and actresses. The only lead is Li Jian, a young boy from Jiangdong.
"My movie is a realistic art, not a trick. I hope to be able to shoot the feeling of real kung fu, so the actors must also meet this standard. Liao Fan is a good actor. He has prepared a lot for this role. I I feel that this role is tailor-made for him."
I heard that Zhou Yutang was going to attend the movie launch conference. Many media came to the scene, and Xu Haofeng talked about it.
Zhou Yutang has also read the script, and the story line is very clear and simple.
Chen Shi, the Wing Chun master played by Liao Fan, goes north to Jincheng to open a martial arts gym, which triggers rejection and resistance in the Jincheng martial arts circle.
A southerner dares to come to Mr. Jin’s territory and cause trouble?
Gotta fuck him!
A series of stories of grievances and hatreds between the northern and southern martial arts circles followed.
Li Jian received a lot of praise for his acting in "The Labyrinth of the Heart", and he also won the Newcomer Award at the Magic City International Film Festival. In this drama, he played the apprentice of Wing Chun master Liao Fan.
"Boss."
At the media conference, Li Jian stepped forward to greet him very discerningly. Zhou Yutang patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Work hard, Teacher Xu." There is a lot of room for you to play in this drama.”
"Boss, don't worry, I will never embarrass you."
Li Jian patted his chest|chest and promised, not noticing Zhou Yutang's pitiful eyes at all.
As for Xu Haofeng, he looks like a good guy and is quite easy to talk to.
He may not be as demanding as Cao Baoping, but he is also an out-and-out detail-controller.
Since it is said to be a "realistic martial arts" film, the actors in the film must be convincing enough.
Immediately after the press conference, there was devil training, and there were a lot of martial arts routines, and the actors had to suffer a lot.
Li Jian still had a sunny smile on his face.
Completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.
Zhou Yutang patted him on the shoulder and mentally observed three seconds of silence for the young man.
This year’s National Day stall is known as the most crowded National Day stall in history.
Except for "Beautiful Heart", "Dear", and "Golden Age", there are several major director's major films.
There are also 11 domestic movies including "The Ruffian Hero 2" and "McDull Me and My Mom".
But by the time we got to the 2nd, the situation of the entire National Day period had become clear.
Most of the movies that wanted to get a piece of the pie during this prime time period were reduced to cannon fodder, and their box office performance was miserable.
During the National Day Golden Week, more than 40% of the films of "Heart Blossom Road" were scheduled to be released. The cumulative box office reached 278 million in two days of release.
On the third day, we continued to work hard, and the single-day box office hit 118 million!
It was only released for three days, and the cumulative box office reached 396 million.
Since the movie was released, the box office has exceeded 100 million every day, and it has dominated the National Day schedule with an invincible attitude.
At this time, the total box office revenue of "Dear" is 78.3 million, and the film schedule has been reduced to 12%.
The total box office of Xu An's "The Golden Age" only reported 23.4 million, which was far below expectations. It is basically certain that there is no hope of recovering the 70 million production cost.
The box office performance of two major Hong Kong directors, Chen Kexing and Xu Anhua, is sluggish, not even as good as a pseudo-3D movie like "Heroes 2", which was also released at the end of September and now has a total box office of 85.6 million.
Ning Hao's "Heart Blossoms Are Blooming" was a smashing hit that broke through the entire National Day schedule.
“The success of this movie is actually no accident. In addition to the quality of the movie itself and the type of comedy, the investment in movie promotion and various marketing during the release are indispensable.”
"Of course, the biggest credit goes to Zhou Yutang, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo."
"You can always trust Zhou Yutang's vision. Last year's "Charlotte Trouble" created the dark horse myth, This year he invested in "Heart Blossoms", which has stronger box office appeal and is fully expected to hit a higher box office"
For phenomenal blockbuster movies, evaluation and analysis by professional film and television professionals is indispensable, with the aim of summarizing successful experiences and promoting them to other projects.
Since Ning Hao's several works after "Crazy Racing" did not perform well at the box office, the industry was originally cautiously optimistic about "The Love of the Heart".
The estimate given is a cap of 800 million.
But now, no one thought that the National Day Golden Week has just begun, and this movie has already reached nearly 400 million.
Maoyan’s estimated box office has increased from the original 800 million to more than 1 billion!
Moreover, the box office is still soaring. Such a strong performance has exceeded everyone's expectations.
Cao Yong, manager of Anzhen Store of UME International Cinema in Beijing, said bluntly in front of the media: "I want to say that everyone in the film and television industry has to thank Zhou Yutang. I can reveal to you a set of data from our theaters. "
"In the past, the Chinese film market was as afraid of imported blockbusters as tigers and wolves, and no one dared to encounter them easily. Zhou Yutang set a box office record for Chinese movies from "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Secret of the Dragon" at the beginning of the year, to " "Chi Ling" has directly eliminated "Transformers 4", which has played a great role in promoting the Chinese film market."
"This year's National Day release was originally previewed for "Heart Blossoms". The estimate seems a bit conservative. One billion will come naturally, and 1.3 billion is not a problem. With this momentum, we can even try to hit 1.5 billion."
The theater chain's statement sparked heated discussions among netizens.
In fact, Zhou Yutang is indeed the person who made the cake of the entire Chinese film market bigger.
After this battle, Ning Hao established his status as a major domestic commercial film director, and also brought Zhou Yutang's reputation to the sky.
The mainland’s National Day film market is in full swing, and the Bay Area Golden Horse Awards have also released this year’s shortlist.
"Fireworks in the Day", which swept Berlin, received eight nominations, and "Massage" directed by Lou Huohua was nominated for seven awards.
But to say that the scenery is infinite, it must be "Chi Ling" which was immortalized in Cannes.
With his majestic appearance, he won 12 nominations.
As soon as the news came out, the entertainment industry was shocked.
Local filmmakers in Bay Province were wailing.
Although the Bay Province film "KANO" also received six nominations, in terms of quality, how can it compare with "Fireworks in the Day" and "Red Ling", which won three major awards in Europe?
Zhou Yutang promised Li An to attend the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony. There are still nearly two months until the Golden Horse Awards, so there is no rush.
On the contrary, the voting battle for the Mango Golden Eagle Goddess has entered its final intense state.
The current total number of votes for Yang Mi is 2.08 million, falling to second place.
Tang Yan became a big hit with "Heart Blossom Road" and has achieved a counterattack. The total number of votes has reached 2.15 million. It seems that the Golden Eagle Goddess is within reach.
Zhao Liying and Li Yao, who are behind, both received more than 1.9 million votes. The difference in votes in the first echelon is not big.
In the second echelon, Zheng Shuang leads the way with 1.68 million votes. Nazha, Reba and Tong Yaya are all in this level with less background.
As for the remaining Yang Ying, Zhou Dongyu, Zhang Jiani and others, due to the huge difference in votes, they have long been destined to accompany him.
But they are also important.
Without them, this game would not have been possible
"Mr. Cai, Shi Shi, you are here."
This is not the first time Cai Yinong has entered the Jiangdong Entertainment Building. Liu Shishi is already familiar with the road.
"Xiaoxue, Huihui, this is a small gift I brought in Xiangjiang. I think it suits you very well."
"Wow, thank you Sister Shi Shi."
The eyes of the two front desk girls Bright light bloomed.
According to the company's express regulations, front desk staff cannot accept gifts from others in any way.
But Liu Shishi was not within the regulations.
Who said this is the royal power of the big boss?
The main thing is that the first sister is kind and generous, and the two front desk girls from Beijing are very chatty with her.
Every time Liu Shishi comes back to Jiangdong Entertainment, he always brings some special snacks or small gifts that he bought during his travels abroad.
Some are expensive and some are not expensive, with different values, but they must have been well thought out.
The gift for the two of them this time is a new LV small wallet that Liu Shishi bought in Xiangjiang. It is very suitable for girls.
Even though the two big girls from the capital at the front desk were from well-off families, they were surprised and declined the offer several times before they were willing to accept it.
"Sister Shi Shi, the boss is still in a meeting. It should be over soon. I will take you up first."
"No need to trouble you, I will go up with Sister K." Liu Shi Shi smiled gently.
"No trouble, our job is to serve you."
Xiaoxue stood up diligently and led the two of them into the elevator.
Lao Cai next to her had a complicated expression and felt a little sour in her heart - when she came alone, she had to call the internal phone number to report before she could go up.
When Liu Shishi came over, the journey was smooth, and even Zhou Yutang’s CEO office was open to her.
Xiaoxue and Liu Shishi were talking and laughing all the way. Lao Cai stared at the ceiling of the elevator, thinking about his next words.
I don’t know when it started, but when she got on the Jiangdong elevator, she had a strange feeling like an ancient local official came to Beijing to report on his duties.
As the number of beats rises, it seems that he is on the rise.
Thinking of the astonishing box office success of "Heart Blossoms" invested by Zhou Yutang, Cai Yinong felt indescribable sadness and envy in her heart.
My sister has a good eye for people.
I would have known that the golden scales were not a thing in the pond.
I just didn’t expect that he would get to this point.
Probably only Zhou Yutang can handle such a large domestic entertainment screen.
