Chapter 626: Meeting an amazing person when I was young, King Zhou Bancheng of Jiangdong Tower
Legendary Pictures and Universal have joined forces to develop the Chinese film market, so naturally they are not crazy.
There are professional data research institutions that have already conducted market research in advance.
The box office of the global movie market this year is approximately 37.5 billion US dollars, of which America accounts for 27%, still the absolute dominance.
The Chinese film market also accounts for 20%, ranking the second largest market share in the world.
Considering that the total number of screens in China has exceeded 25,000, and the number of moviegoers and the number of screens have surged, the market potential has not yet been fully tapped.
It is expected that within the next three years, China is likely to overtake the North American market and become the world's number one ticket seller.
The Chinese film market is taking off.
Just around the corner.
Ning Hao and Xu Ke both entered the billion-dollar box office club, and the three major directors of the older generation in China are also unable to sit still.
Brother Chen Kai has really seen all the flowers in Chang'an recently.
Not long ago, I was awarded the French Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters, and I turned around and took over such a magical resource as "The Great Wall".
Lao Mouzi, one of the three major directors, has started to promote his new film "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".
There is only one little steel cannon left. He also starred in "Lao Pao'er" in his true colors, making me go crazy as a teenager.
Everyone has a bright future.
"Congratulations on wrapping up Tiantian."
"Thank you, director, thank you all."
Jing Tian received the notice from his assistant when he returned to the crew of "Legend of Ban Shu" to reshoot the scene.
She handed the flowers sent by the director to the assistant beside her.
With a beautiful oval face and a sweet smile, she bowed politely and thanked the crew members.
Jingtian found a secluded place, read the contract, and then called Lu Zheng,
"Uncle Lu, I received the contract."
"Just receive it. This role is yours."
Lu Zheng smiled: "The crew, the reshoots are over, right?"
"Don't rush this project now. Director Kai Ge has another film in hand. When he arranges it, it will probably be next year. Then we will start training in advance." Lu Zheng taught earnestly.
"Uncle Lu, I understand."
Jing Tian wanted to ask about Zhou Yutang again, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out, so he forced a smile and thanked her. : "Sorry to trouble Uncle Lu."
"Oh, silly girl."
Lu Zheng put down the phone and had a headache.
Meeting someone who is too stunning when you are young is not a good thing after all.
He is also a person who has been here before. How could he not understand the little girl’s thoughts?
Taking into account Zhou Yutang's appearance, financial situation, city and other conditions, he is the best choice, and can even be said to be the best among his contemporaries.
After all, even the big leaders commented that this is a figure that has not appeared in China for decades, and it plays an extremely important role in the future cultural strategic layout of China.
Even with Jingtian’s background and conditions, the elders in her family would definitely have nothing to say.
But no one is perfect, Lu Zheng knew about Zhou Yutang's romantic affairs.
How can a prodigal in love be a good match?
After "Introduction to Architecture", Jing Tian's popularity exploded and he was already on the front line. Lu Zheng also consciously arranged Jing Tian's work and deliberately reduced the number of meetings between the two.
We can only hope that time will slowly make the thoughts in Jingtian's heart fade away.
Seeing his phone screen turn black, Lu Zheng murmured in his heart: "Tiantian, Uncle Lu is also doing this for your own good. You can't control this man."
The phone vibrated.
Da Tiantian’s eyes lit up and her delicate hands quickly unlocked the screen.
It turned out that the news was not from Zhou Yutang, and he pursed his lips in frustration.
The assistant beside me was grinning from ear to ear: "Congratulations, Tiantian, this is a US$150 million joint production between the two countries. I heard that Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Zhao Yanzi and Zhang Ziyi All the big shots are competing for the heroine.”
Although it sounds like a rainbow fart, it is indeed the case.
The head of Legendary Pictures said it was a leap-forward attempt.
Maybe in the next 10 years, there will be no movie more anticipated than this.
The project has just been finalized, and the heroine has already been confirmed before any auditions have been conducted.
No exaggeration.
Just this contract in Jing Tian’s hands.
All the big ladies in the entertainment industry are jealous.
But this was obviously an excellent divine resource, but Jing Tian didn’t feel happy either.
The sunny playground that afternoon flashed through my mind like a fleeting glimpse.
Wearing a red and black jersey, Zhou Yutang was sweating freely, striding across the green field with a strong posture.
Mo Shang is like jade, and his son is unparalleled in the world.
It should have been him who was talking.
Sweet Princess frowned slightly and sighed quietly. She only looked at her phone and saw that there was no reply to the message yet, so she felt empty in her heart.
It was New Year's Day.
The Lunar New Year stalls of the movie market are full of smoke.
The capital is also very lively.
Dozens of clan members, headed by Long Wu, arrived in Beijing in a low-key and solemn manner.
News soon came out that the head of China Star died of illness in Xiehe, the capital.
When it comes to China Star, mainland audiences may not know much about it, but Mr. Huang of Gome only invested 550 million to become the major shareholder of China Star this month.
The predecessor of this company was Yongsheng Film Company.
The films produced have always dominated the rankings of Hong Kong's golden period of movies, such as "The Dragon Back to School", "The God of Gamblers", "The Supreme Talent", "The Ninth Grade Sesame Official", "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", etc. Movies are still at the forefront of the Hong Kong film list.
The Long family quickly issued an obituary to the public, and many viewers in the domestic entertainment industry also discussed the matter.
There was quite a stir this time. In addition to the Long family members, Hong Kong celebrities including Chow Run-fa, Andy Lau, Lau Jialin, etc. also gathered in the capital to express their condolences to the big boss.
Leaving aside his membership in the Long Wu family, Ah Sheng can also be called a movie tycoon.
Some netizens compiled a table for statistics on the film projects he has worked on.
I was surprised to find that every film project that passed through his hands never failed. He just made more money and less money, and some of them were Hong Kong movie classics.
"Is this the Zhou Yutang of Xiangjiang in the last era?"
"Hold the grass, Zhou Yutang seems to have never lost money in film and television projects."
"The boss of the porcelain is a bit too much, most governors and governors are both 2 billion box office to become a god, that is an invincible existence, Ah Sheng is at best a bankrupt version."
"No matter how much money you have, health is the most important thing."
"Here he comes. There were so many celebrities who were so tense a while ago, but I didn’t expect that Star Master would also come.”
In addition to Zhou Runfa and other Xiangjiang stars, Zhou Xingxing also withdrew from the crew of Mermaid and flew directly to the capital.
“Xiang Sheng is kind to me. Without him, I can’t do it.”
Zhou Xingxing said this to Zhou Yutang.
To say that Mr. Xing is also a very complicated person, no one knows what he is thinking in his heart.
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He didn't have time to communicate more with Zhou Yutang. After paying his condolences, he flew back to Shencheng that night.
The Lunar New Year holiday is full of smoke. As the producer of "The Tiger Mountain", Zhou Yutang participated in a roadshow to promote the film at Huaqing University, and the response was quite enthusiastic.
Xu Ke, the new director of the 1 billion box office club, sighed in his heart.
At this stage, when it comes to influence among young people, no one in the entire entertainment industry can surpass Zhou Yutang.
After finishing the road show, Zhou Yutang flew into Shanghai to participate in the drama promotion work of "Qing Yu Nian 2" together with Li Yao, Tian Yu and others.
As soon as the plane landed, I received news from Zou Zhongyan that "Chi Ling" had entered the list of best foreign language films at this year's Oscars.
"Congratulations to Director Zhou for the second Oscar."
Zhou Yutang put his cell phone on speakerphone, and Tian Yu asked a few more questions and sent blessings on the spot.
"Congratulations, boss."
Li Yao smiled lightly, with a soft light in his eyes.
"Search" was nominated the year before last, and with this year's "Red Ling", Zhou Yutang has been nominated for an Oscar for the second time.
"It's just a nomination."
Zhou Yutang waved his hand and said modestly: "The final result is not certain yet."
Next, nine films will enter the next round of voting together. , competing for the final five nominations, you may have to go over and do some public relations.
"If Mr. Zhou takes action, it must be stable."
Tian Yu smiled and looked a little happy.
In fact, this guy is a very humorous and interesting person in private.
After cooperating in "My Love from the Star", the relationship with Zhou Yutang has remained good. Zhou Yutang even attended his wedding and personally sent her blessings.
While in Shanghai, I met Ms. Wang Fengqin after a long absence.
The Queen Mother’s career is getting bigger and bigger now.
There are garment factories in Kunshan and companies in Shanghai.
Considering that she had to travel back and forth between places every day, Zhou Yutang arranged for the Queen Mother to have a house in Shanghai.
Originally we booked the Shimao Sheshan Manor Villa, but the Queen Mother had reached her rebellious stage and had her own ideas.
She basically lives with Comrade Lao Zhou in her hometown in Yancheng. She disliked the villa as it was too big and she didn’t live in the city all the time anyway, so she bought a flat-floor apartment with her own money.
Zhou Yutang also let her go.
Yu Sheng borrowed the inspiration from "A Little Smile Is Allure" again this year. The photos of Chen Xiao and Gulinazha acting as endorsements went viral, and the new season's clothing exploded.
Ms. Wang Fengqin enjoyed the benefits of the first wave of online stores, backed by the Jiangdong label, and now has a net worth of at least a few small goals.
But money comes from money. The older generation has endured hardships. They were used to being thrifty in the past, and many of their consumption habits cannot be changed.
Except for buying this house, Ms. Wang Fengqin never spends money on any luxury goods, and basically does not have any big expenses. She said she wants to save money for her son to find a wife.
Zhou Yutang Drenched in sweat.
The Queen Mother’s few small goals may not be enough
He has a solo trip and basically lives in the western suburbs of Shanghai, which is close to the airport and convenient for catching up with announcements.
It was a luxurious villa purchased a few years ago for nearly 20 million yuan. It was located on the lakeside and had a huge area. It was also the love nest of Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi.
The iconic mansion of the Magic City, Tomson Yipin, also has a house, which is a honey tasting base.
Da Mimi likes to put her hands against the window and overlook the Huangpu River.
However, the two of them met in the capital most of the time, and Tomson Yipin's honey tasting base was only used a few times a year.
But according to domestic housing prices that are soaring like a rocket, even if it is only used for investment and financial management, the appreciation of this property alone will earn tens of millions.
The Sugar Base is a 500m flat floor in Xuhui.
Dilraba Dilraba lives in an art apartment on Hengshan Road, which is slightly smaller, only about 160 square meters.
At that time, the daughter of a certain professor at the Shanghai Theater Academy settled abroad and gave birth to a baby. She wanted to take care of her abroad, so Zhou Yutang took the old professor's welfare apartment.
It just so happens that Reba is still in school, so she lives closer, which is more convenient.
Outsiders call him the King of Jiangdong Tower, also known as Zhou Bancheng, and he is talking about Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang has top-notch mansions all the way from Beijing to the north, Xiangjiang to the south, and Dian Province to the west. Because there were so many properties, he couldn't even remember the rest, except for the golden house where the treasures were hidden. Anyway, there was a professional team helping him take care of these things.
During this period, real estate in China grew wildly, and buying a house was also a stable investment method for asset appreciation
The Lunar New Year war ended, and the smoke from the movie market gradually dissipated.
Except for Gu Changwei's "Micro Love", which came from behind, it was inextricably matched with the imported blockbuster "Night at the Museum 3".
The other "Tai Ping Huan" only reported 192 million yuan and ended sadly. "One Step Away" has already dropped one million at the box office in a single day, and its momentum has also been exhausted.
"One Hundred Thousand Cold Jokes", "Xu Sanguan", "Evaporated Pacific", "Golden Fortune General", etc. have all gloriously become cannon fodder before the Spring Festival.
Only the 3D versions of "The Grandmaster" and "Kung Fu" specially made for fans are somewhat popular. After all, what is consumed is feelings.
Zhou Yutang stayed in Magic City for several days. After finishing the promotion of the drama "Sweeping Buildings" at Station B, he met Tian Ming and listened to the work report of Chen Min, the boss of Star Games.
After recording "Can Fan Listen", Zhou Yutang flew back to the capital to attend the "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" celebration banquet hosted by China Film.
Pei Kang, who has taken the blame, urgently needs such a grand ceremony to show off his muscles.
The box office figure of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was finally fixed at 1.208 billion, which has swept this year's Lunar New Year festival and became the third film in the entire Chinese film industry to exceed 1 billion.
"The Secret of the Dragon" to kick off the New Year, "The Flowers of the Heart" to open during the National Day, and "Taking the Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" during the Lunar New Year.
Ning Hao and Xu Ke soared successively, and Zhou Yutang also completed a gorgeous three consecutive kills.
With such a brilliant record, Jiangdong Entertainment is firmly on the leading throne, shocking the entertainment industry.
For such a grand ceremony in the film and television industry, except for the first- and second-tier celebrities who are still on the crew, almost everyone has received an invitation.
Those artists who were not included in the invitation were anxious and trying to find ways to get through.
If you can't get into this Vanity Fair, it means you don't have enough status.
Celebration banquet scene.
The crazy flashing lights in the audience never stopped.
A few people on the stage were humble.
Finally, Pei Kang and Xu Ke were pushed to the c position.
Zhou Yutang stood beside Wang Changtian, another CEO of Fang Guangguang.
While talking and laughing, they smashed the ice sculpture that symbolized the brilliant box office figures.
The applause from the scene suddenly sounded like thunder.
Xu Ke drank a lot tonight, but the one who accompanied him to accept the flowers and glory was not Shi Nansheng, but the young female assistant.
"It seems that this mistress is just ordinary in appearance..."
Ni Ni looked at her carefully and muttered.
This is not as good as my own boss.
It's a little scummy, but the taste is trustworthy.
Whether it is a fairy, a sister, Nazha, etc., they are all first-class beauties
And the boss is not married, he is just playing around, but Old Monster Xu has abandoned the chaff. His wife
But Ni Ni’s emotional intelligence was fine, so she complained in front of Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang smiled lightly.
Mr. Xu has been in and out of the film industry for decades, and has experienced the most glorious period of Hong Kong movies. Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin, Wang Zuxian
What kind of beauties have not been seen?
A man of this age may not actually value a woman’s beauty the most, but the fragrant youthfulness of a girl can help him regain his youthful self.
Xu Ke is a well-known figure in Hong Kong circles, and many Hong Kong directors and stars are here tonight.
But the focus of discussion is undoubtedly Zhou Yutang.
Watching Zhou Yutang talking to Chen Musheng and Lam Chao-yin, two great directors in Hong Kong, many artists at the scene were moved.
The news that "Operation Mekong" has been approved and approved has also been a hot news topic on various entertainment portals recently.
The celebrity artists who can participate in this celebration banquet have some backgrounds. According to the information disclosed so far, the production cost of this criminal action film with a main theme starts at 200 million, which is appropriate. Big commercial film production!
Maybe it can be like "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", which will achieve both box office and word-of-mouth success.
For artists, being able to participate in such a project is definitely an opportunity for advancement.
As a result, an endless stream of celebrities began to come over to say hello to Zhou Yutang.
"Mr. Zhou, congratulations."
After Li Binbin left, Fatty Wang took advantage of the opportunity and took the initiative to come up with a wine glass to congratulate him, his smiling eyes narrowed to a slit,
""Zhou Chu" has been scheduled for the Spring Festival this year, so everyone is going to meet it."
"It is also fate to meet Director Wang."
Zhou Yutang smiled and clinked his wine glasses with Fatty Wang.
"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" will face off against "The Wind and Cloud 2" directed by Fatty Wang next month.
"I hope Mr. Zhou will be merciful and not beat me too badly."
Fat Wang said helplessly: "Otherwise, I will be miserable and I won't be able to explain to the bosses."
“Haha.”
Zhou Yutang smiled, thinking he was joking.
Fat Wang is a man who is full of wine, sex and wealth, and looks a little greasy.
But there is one advantage that Zhou Yutang appreciates very much.
That is to read "Position", the four famous masterpieces in the entertainment industry.
Hong Kong has not been peaceful recently, and some people with ulterior motives are making trouble.
There are also many crooked butts in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong.
Fatty Wang, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Chen Baixiang and others stepped forward at this time and stood with the mainland under pressure, which is extremely rare.
It was precisely because Fatty Wang was aware of current affairs that Zhou Yutang chatted a few more words with him.
"Mr. Zhou, Director Chen and I have read the files these past few days."
Lin Chaoxian's expression was serious: "I have a few immature ideas that I would like to share with you."< br>
The three people chatted.
During this period, Zhou Yutang was very busy, and Lin Chaoxian and Chen Musheng were not idle either.
They each led a team. They not only reviewed the files of Six Doors Headquarters, but also some audio and video recordings that have not been disclosed to the public. They also made a staged summary and determined that the movie will be shot entirely in real scenes.
Just as he was talking about finalizing the starring cast before going to the Golden Triangle for a field trip, Zhou Yutang glanced at a familiar face walking towards him.
“Mr. Zhou, I’d like to toast you.”
Zhang Hanyu drank a lot tonight, and his dark face was glowing red.
"Yeah."
Zhou Yutang looked him over and asked slowly, "Are there any dates next year?"
"!?"
Zhang Hanyu was shocked, and then opened his eyes wide, with a look of surprise on his dark and red face:
"Of course, what are Mr. Zhou's plans?"
"In the drama "Operation Mekong", I think your image is very suitable for the male lead. When the time comes, you can come over and audition."
< br>"Mr. Zhou, thank you. I won't say any more. It's all in the wine!"
Zhang Hanyu didn't hesitate. He drank three glasses of red wine in succession and didn't forget to toast each of the two directors. His emotional intelligence was in place. It also attracted the attention of others at the table.
“What do Director Chen and Director Lin think?”
After he left, Zhou Yutang took a sip of red wine and asked sideways.
"You can give it a try."
"Mr. Zhou has a really sharp eye for people."
Chen Musheng and Lin Chaoxian looked at each other.
Everyone nodded.
This is not flattery, Zhou Yutang Xuanhe's record is the best footnote. He really has nothing wrong with others.
As for Zhang Hanyu's image, he is upright and has a tough military temperament.
And he just scored 1 billion in the movie of Mr. Xu, which is somewhat auspicious.
Xie Tingfeng, one of Yinghuang’s connections, plus Zhang Hanyu, and Li Yao, a young girl from Jiangdong who has also been confirmed. If there are no surprises, the starring line-up is basically confirmed.
…… ……
"Director Li, what's going on?"
To be honest, Zhou Yutang was a little surprised when he received a call from Li Shaohong after just finishing his workout in the morning.
But I heard that Teacher Tian’s old classmate stayed up all night and listened patiently to her story. Zhou Yutang was a little funny: "Director Li, you mean that Yang Yang is not going to renew his contract with Rong Xinda now. , and also sent a letter to Rong Xinda Company to terminate the brokerage contract between the two parties?"
"That's what happened. "Tomb Raiders Notes" was a contract signed by him in his personal capacity."
" You said he is planning to quit Jiangdong Entertainment?”
"As far as I know, that's it." Li Shaohong's voice was full of fatigue.
"Director Li, don't worry, this is definitely not the case."
"That's good"
Li Shaohong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhou Yutang's decisive voice.
Zhou Yutang is very wealthy and powerful. If she really wants to rob someone, to be honest, she doesn't have much choice.
Zhou Yutang immediately called Zhou Shufang.
Jiangdong Entertainment's operating system is quite mature, and he has never interfered with the affairs of the artist management department below.
Zhou Shufang also said that this was indeed the case.
Hong Kongda is really petty in his work, but the leader Li Shaohong also has true love for Yang Yang.
Jia Baoyu, who was selected to film Dream of Red Mansions, will be trained as a lucky brother in the future.
However, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places.
Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Yang Mi ran away one after another because they couldn't get good resources in Luckyda.
Yang Yang’s popularity is gradually gaining momentum now, and there are signs of becoming a big hit, so it’s normal to look down on Lucky Da.
However, when Yang Yang's team contacted Jiangdong Entertainment, they also put forward a condition, hoping to ensure that one male lead in one Jiangdong film and television drama every year.
“He has capable people behind him to guide him.”
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly and saw through it at a glance.
"Now he is very close to Jia Shikai." Zhou Shufang is also a good person, and she has already done the background work.
"No wonder."
Zhou Yutang sneered: "Want to use Jiangdong Entertainment to carry the sedan?"
It is best to be able to hug Jiangdong's lap, and it also leaves a way out. He flirted with first-tier film and television companies in the industry such as Huanrui and Cehua.
"Mr. Zhou, I think Yang Yang has great potential. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Forget it, after all, Director Li loves it."
Zhou Yutang directly set the tone: " Issue an announcement to clarify and tell Jia Shikai not to get involved."
Zhou Shufang understood and did something.
The company has four young students, Zhu Yilong, Kaikai Wang, Chen Xiao, and Li Jian, who support the company, and there are Lu Handingliu waiting for food.
There is no shortage of Yang Yang.
