Chapter 658: The debut is at the peak, and the scenery is unlimited
“Zhou Yutang is also very good at playing. One crown group is not enough, can this waist be able to withstand it?”
“Can he withstand it? I don’t know, I can’t stand it anyway.”
“If you don’t understand, just ask, what’s the big bear’s name?”
“Go and see Dao Tuan Zong, this is Cheng Xiao. The best one in the team!”
"Hey, Tang Wei's younger sisters have all made their debut?"
"Sister Chaoyue is so good-looking, she can be a good face."
"This neon girl Sana is also very good-looking, really "Wanyan Group."
"..."
Jiangdong's new girl group has just debuted and has already topped the entertainment hot search lists in both countries.
Sohu boss Zhang’s favorite song from his debut album, “CUPID”, topped the hot song charts of all music websites in South Korea within 12 hours of its release.
Even the English version of this song was on the American Billboard Hot 100.
This is the true debut and peak.
Sweeping through major music charts at home and abroad, it is not to say unprecedented, but it also sets a new record for the peak performance of female groups in the past.
Another new song in the album, "WANNABE", has also entered the top five on the hot song charts of all music websites in South Korea.
Wanda's son Wang Xiaocong, who went to South Korea on Lao Wang's orders to negotiate the acquisition of South Korean film and television special effects company Dexter, took his beloved Internet celebrity girl to the singing venue to support him.
It is still on the Weibo hot search list.
Such an amazing result, like a blockbuster, not only caused an uproar in the industry, but also triggered widespread discussion and controversy on social media in both countries.
Many people have compared Kodong’s new girl group with Girls’ Generation.
There is definitely no comparison.
At present, it can only be said that they have defeated all the first-line new girl groups in the same period, and there is still a long way to go before they are the top girl groups.
After all, the industry’s standards for top girl groups are very strict, and they must maintain a leading position in all areas such as popularity, sales, music source, and overseas performance.
In so many years, a girl’s generation was born.
The golden life cycle of a girl group is at most ten years.
At the peak of popularity like SNSD, the members are getting older and are currently facing the problem of transformation.
Lin Yoona is developing towards an actress, Kim Taeyeon is preparing to make her solo debut, variety show host Lee Soon Kyu, and Jessica who is dedicated to selling sunglasses
No one is always eighteen, but there are always beautiful girls who are eighteen.
This is the time Koto spent several years selecting hundreds of girls throughout Asia.
Some are even poached from other entertainment companies through interest exchange.
After practicing the Gu-raising style, countless people were eliminated, and finally the pure five-member group was settled.
Yang Chaoyue, Cheng Xiao, Jin Jixiu, Zhao Meiyan, SANA.
Some are beautiful and delicate, some are plump and plump, some are fair and slender, some are soft and cute, or some are long-legged and graceful
There are various types.
And each member of the group has a different personality.
The awards ceremony for the Shanghai International Film Festival's media unit was over. Zhou Yutang returned to the hotel and listened to Pei Yun's report on the work of the South Korean branch.
Pei Yun was also very excited.
She is the general manager of Jiangdong Branch, but in fact she does not have much business in her hands.
Guarding Li Zhien, a money tree excavated by Zhou Yutang, will automatically explode gold coins.
Buying out the Crown Group contract was also the result of Zhou Yutang using his connections, and it cannot be regarded as her credit.
So she is extremely looking forward to achieving results.
He also devoted all his energy to this group of trainees.
The debut group recording alone, plus the cost of producing the first album, cost more than 20 million, which is not even a big expense.
The supporting labor fee includes clothing, makeup, assistants, the entire planning team and subsequent marketing.
If you don’t do it, that’s it. If you do, you have to be a top girl group.
Such a big move even shocked South Korean entertainment giants such as SM, JYP, and YG.
The amount of funds of the Kodong Group is simply a dimensionality-reducing blow to the entire South Korean entertainment industry.
Of course.
Making stars is not just about throwing money at them.
If it were Adou, no matter how much he tried to hold him up, he would never be able to reach the wall.
Fortunately, our own girl group is quite competitive, and the momentum they created during their debut is worthy of the resources of the entire Koto group.
"Sister Pei, what are your plans next?"
"The next step is to sing and hit the charts."
Pei Yun quickly replied: "Participate in various road shows and variety shows to gain popularity. . ”
With Zhou Yutang’s resources, popular variety shows can appear on both Chinese and South Korean TV stations.
“Yeah.”
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, opened a bottle of ice water and took a sip: "You can figure it out. If you encounter any trouble over there, you can directly contact Samsung's Secretary Li."
"I understand, Zhou Total. ”
Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Zhou Yutang handed over the management of Jiangdong girl group to Pei Yun and Min Xizhen.
He only cares about the final result.
The rare Dragon Boat Festival holiday finally allowed A-shares to calm down after falling without weight.
The Golden Goblet Award Ceremony and Film Festival Closing Ceremony scheduled to be held at the Shanghai Grand Theater will be held as scheduled.
The organizing committee of this year’s Shanghai International Film Festival originally intended to invite him to serve as a jury member.
With the honors of Berlin Silver Bear and Cannes Palme d'Or, Zhou Yutang is the well-deserved number one in domestic entertainment. Zhou Yutang definitely has this qualification.
But the film review process was too long, and it conflicted with his schedule. The main reason was that his own film was aiming for the Golden Goblet Award, so he should avoid suspicion.
After Zhou Yutang declined, the organizing committee of the Shanghai International Film Festival invited the young director Andrei Zyagintsev to serve as a jury member.
The latter's "Leviathan" first won the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes, and then won the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars. He is also a well-known director in the world of cinema.
Zhou Yutang was in the red carpet waiting area, greeting acquaintances.
At first glance, I saw Shi Nansheng, one of the judges this year, talking to Xu Ke, and was slightly stunned.
Now these two people have separated in life, but they still work together, and there is an inexplicable sense of harmony.
"Mr. Zhou, I took over the sequel to Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons."
"Congratulations to Director Xu."
Xu Ke took the initiative to come over and said, Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and didn't Feel surprised.
If a company of Alibaba's size wants to advance a project, it has already made several plans in advance.
Xu Ke is Ali’s planb.
After waiting in the waiting area for a long time, the red carpet over there was busy.
Zhang Zilin showed off her long legs in a custom-made dress with high slits. The beaded dress accentuated her slim figure. Chen Qiaoen showed what a sweet Taiwanese girl is.
Wearing a pink satin dress, Yang Mi is also eye-catching tonight
Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, International Chapter
The flowers are becoming more and more charming, and women from all walks of life are becoming more and more charming. The stars compete for beauty.
But tonight's Jiangdong Entertainment is destined to shine on the red carpet.
When Zhou Yutang appeared on the red carpet for the finale, the atmosphere reached its climax.
On his left is Liu Shishi, who is wearing a white gauze skirt from the ElieSaab autumn and winter series. She is as conservative as ever, with a gentle and dignified temperament.
Nazar on the right is wearing a black bust-wrapped dress and flaming red lips, unscrupulously displaying a charming face that charms the common people.
He even wore Harry Winston jewelry with a total value of more than 10 million yuan.
Revealing low-key luxury.
The governor hugged him from left to right, and the scenery was endless.
This time, the main creators of several films such as "Heart of the Sun", "The Tuner", and "Now You See Me" controlled by Jiangdong, Cao Baoping, Duan Yihong, Deng Chao, Guo Tao, etc. also followed They walked down the red carpet together with great momentum.
Deng Chao, who is a bit of a social celebrity, probably knows that "Scorching Sun" is a big hit at this year's Shanghai Film Festival, so he is somewhat excited and plays all kinds of tricks on the red carpet.
“Damn, you two came to the red carpet and wore height-increasing insoles, that’s too much!”
Guo Fan couldn't help but complain about the two friends around him who suddenly grew taller in suits.
Lu Yang, who rushed to Shanghai as soon as the filming of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" finished filming, felt confident and confident: "How can I say this? I have made contributions to Jiangdong."
Article Mu Ye straightened his body and answered: "I have also shed sweat for the Governor."
The three great generals of Jiangdong, as the most prominent directors of the younger generation of the Chinese dynasty, naturally attracted much attention.
The media, crowded with people, kept snapping pictures.
After walking on the red carpet, he was interviewed by the female host Chen Chen. After a lot of trouble before entering the inner court, Zhou Yutang heard Liu Shishi ask in a low voice: "Sophie Marceau is here too?"
"Today She was the guest of honor tonight."
Zhou Yutang looked back and saw that Sophie Marceau was being interviewed and talked about her impression of the Chinese film and television industry,
"Unfortunately, I haven't talked to you yet. I have worked with Chinese directors or actors, but when I was at the Cannes Film Festival last year, I really admired "Chi Ling" directed by Zhou Yutang. It is a very good movie, and many of the scenes in it are very beautiful, which moved me very much. . ”
The French goddess has never lost her beauty. The French goddess who stunned countless people at that time can still be said to be charming at this time.
Liu Shishi nodded pretentiously, pretending that he could understand. After the translator relayed the story, he secretly touched Zhou Yutang next to him with his elbow:
"The goddess admires you."
" .”
Zhou Yutang’s expression was calm.
On the other hand, Gulinazha next to her looked at Sophie Marceau out of the corner of her eyes, feeling that she had the advantage, and proudly puffed out her small chest.
After entering the venue, a staff member from the organizing committee came up to him. He bowed slightly and said in a respectful tone: "Mr. Zhou, let me go over the process with you again."
This little girl is very meticulous. Seriously, let’s go through the overall process arrangement of tonight’s award ceremony.
Zhou Yutang is also battle-hardened, calm and calm.
For an award ceremony like this, the organizing committee has fixed how long each link will take in advance, and someone will come back to remind you when the time comes, so it’s not a big problem.
Soon.
The leader came to the stage to deliver an opening speech.
Then there was an opening dance performance, and the audience was relatively relaxed.
However, before entering the formal award process, a rather special Lifetime Achievement Award was first awarded.
“Wow, Xia Meng is so beautiful.”
Liu Shishi, who was beside Zhou Yutang, murmured as he watched the past movie stills of Xiangjiang actress Xia Meng displayed on the big screen.
It looks a bit dated, but she is indeed a beauty of a generation. No wonder Master Jin is obsessed with her.
Xia Meng, who has been out of the spotlight for nearly half a century, is 83 years old this year. At this time, he was in Hong Kong. Due to physical reasons, he was unable to attend the scene in person. He specially recorded a video:
"The movie is My lifelong dream records my best moments. I didn’t expect that after so many years, so many people would still know me and receive a trophy from my hometown. Thank you for the movie!”
That kind of cardamom years! Intertwined with the beauty's old age, it is inevitable to lament the passing of time, but it also makes people feel the charm of the movie.
After all, the image she left in the movie has shocked the memories of many people and will never grow old. The audience applauded, and after such an interlude of the award ceremony, the atmosphere became lively.
Awards such as the Best Documentary Award and the Best Photography Award are just appetizers in the final analysis.
Before entering the main event, a staff member came to inform in advance: "Mr. Zhou, you can go backstage to prepare."
Zhou Yutang patted Liu Shishi's little hand, stood up and left the table, and went Backstage.
The members of the jury were all there, as well as the heroine of "Gone Girl" and the British Bond girl Pei Chunhua. When they saw Zhou Yutang, they took the initiative to give him a hug,
"Zhou, it's nice to see you again."
"Ms. Pei, me too."
We met at the Oscar reception last year. After a polite hug, Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "You speak Chinese well."
"Thank you, I have practiced it in private for a long time."
Pei Chunhua is quite happy that this sentence was said in English.
Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world. Although she is interested in it, she can barely speak a few words.
Belongs to the level of primary school students who are proficient in "Mud Howl", "Crab Crab" and the like.
Backstage at the awards ceremony.
Hao Lei, Shi Nansheng, Song Jia and others looked at each other.
Sophie Marceau's eyes were like radar, whirling between the two people.
Gossip is, after all, engraved in women’s genes, and goddesses are no exception.
"Brother Jackie Chan, Miss Shi."
Zhou Yutang did not show favoritism to others. He greeted the smiling Jackie Chan, Shi Nansheng and others one by one without missing a beat.
Jackie Chan and Rosamund Pike went to present the Best Actress Award, and a voice came from the front, "Congratulations, "The Midwife," Krista Cawthorn."
This actress has She was pregnant and about to become a mother. After receiving the trophy, she was very excited and burst into tears: "I think this is the best gift for my soon-to-be-born child, thank you!"
"Mr. Zhou, Hao Lei, it's your turn."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shi Nansheng handed the envelope into Zhou Yutang's hand.
Zhou Yutang made an invitation gesture to Hao Lei, and the two of them went on stage together to present the Best Actor award.
Hu Jun actually made a guest appearance as the host of tonight's award ceremony, standing next to the charming Chen Chen.
No matter how you look at it, Qiao Feng doesn’t match the temperament of a professional host.
But this guy’s words are pretty good: “One of the award guests for Golden Goblet Best Actor is the Chinese actress Ms. Hao Lei, a judge of our film festival, and the other is Mr. Zhou Yutang, the director of "Red Ling". Please invite me. They."
The exciting music sounded, and Zhou Yutang and Hao Lei, wearing a deep V backless red dress, slowly appeared on the stage.
"Ms. Hao Lei is very elegant tonight."
"Mr. Zhou Yutang, a handsome young man, once beat me up, which I still remember vividly."
The audience realized that Hu Jun was being serious, and there was a burst of chuckles.
Zhou Yutang saw Liu Shishi covering his mouth and snickering, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
He and Hu Jun have collaborated in "Big Shot" and are both old acquaintances.
The previous process went too fast. Zhou Yutang and Hao Lei had two or three minutes to delay the task, so they exchanged commercial blows:
“I am very happy to be able to present the award tonight with Sister Hao Lei. . ”
“I am also honored to present this award with the director of the Palme d’Or. ”
"."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Yutang opened the envelope and said in a calm tone: "The winner of the Golden Goblet Award and Best Actor Award at the 18th Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival is..."< br>
Having said this, he handed the envelope to Hao Lei. The mature and charming woman next to him had a wonderful expression on her face:
"Deng Chao."
There was an uproar in the audience, and Hao Lei continued to read: "Duan Yihong."
The camera was shown to the audience, and Duan Yihong's pupils were shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face.
This is not over yet, Hao Lei continued: "Guo Tao. "Scorching Sun", congratulations to you three."
Huh?
Even Guo Tao, who had been applauding desperately just now, was stunned.
Is this a three-yolk egg?
Zhou Yutang clapped gently beside him, laughing and eating melon.
The organizer really knows how to play.
One is Hao Lei’s ex-boyfriend, and the other is her old partner.
Highlights of the movie were shown on the big screen, and Zhou Yutang watched them quietly.
He has watched this movie several times since it was completed, and he still feels it is a classic when looking back again.
"The jury awarded this award to the three actors not only because of their outstanding performance, but also because of their collective performance that allowed the film to be perfectly presented."
At this time, there is probably no People paid attention to what the host Chen Chen was saying. Zhou Yutang watched the three people file onto the stage.
Hao Lei awarded trophies to Duan Yihong and Guo Tao successively, along with a hug, but skipped Deng Chao in the middle.
Deng Chaochu was there, like a wooden pile, with a stiff smile on his face.
However, Zhou Yutang handed the trophy and certificate into his hands, and hugged each other with the three of them, which relieved him.
"Congratulations to all three of you, your performance was outstanding."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Next, the three of them gave their acceptance speeches, and Zhou Yutang and Hao Lei went directly back to their seats. .
“Brother Chao was so embarrassed just now!”
Liu Shishi came over, covered his mouth and whispered.
Zhou Yutang smiled and said nothing, and the award ceremony continued.
The biggest winner tonight is undoubtedly Jiangdong Entertainment.
"Scorching Sun" followed the Best Actor Three Yolk Eggs, Cao Baoping lived up to expectations and won the Best Director trophy.
The Grand Jury Prize was the Polish film "My Girlfriend's Secret". The French goddess Sophie Marceau and the jury chairman Andrei Zyagintsev awarded the Best Film Award to "The Night".
After the award ceremony, I went to the closing reception arranged by the organizer.
The exclusive rooftop terrace of M1NT Club, which has cooperated with the Shanghai International Film Festival for several years, overlooks the dazzling Shanghai Bund.
“Congratulations, Brother Chao!”
“Yu Tang, I have something to ask you.”
Tonight’s Three Yolk Egg Best Actor, Zhou Yutang knows each other and is considered a friend relation.
However, there are differences between friends. The relationship may be close or far.
Zhou Yutang and Duan Yihong don't have much close friendship.
Guo Tao, on the other hand, has collaborated with him in "Big Shot" and later made a fortune by starring in Mango's "Where Are We Going, Dad", so we have a relatively close relationship.
But Guo Tao is more honest and honest. Compared with a couple like Deng Chao who is good at business, he is far behind.
Sun Li held Liu Shishi's hand and chatted warmly like a normal person.
When it comes to Princess Hairun, her vision and skills are the best among female celebrities.
She had bet on Zhou Yutang a few years ago, and she was Liu Shishi's best friend. Last year, she became the heroine of "The Legend of Mi Yue", a top-tier production in the TV drama industry, because Zhou Yutang greeted Zheng Xiaolong.
Draged to a quiet place by the mysterious Deng Chao, Zhou Yutang was originally a little curious.
However, listening to his excited tone and even slightly exaggerated movements as he narrated the script of "Bad Angel", I suddenly felt desperate.
"Yu Tang, what do you think?"
"I will send you the script later, and we will talk about it in detail. Mr. Wang wants to reserve a share for you... …”
"Is there a gap in project funds?"
Zhou Yutang asked with a half-smile.
The Mr. Wang he mentioned cannot be the two Hua Yi.
After Deng Chao came out of Huayi, he has worked closely with Wang Changtian of Guangwang in the past few years. Guangwang was also the main producer of the last drama "The Breakup Master".
“That’s not true.”
Deng Chao smiled and said: "Please correct the problem, so that everyone can rest assured."
There is no need to correct it, it is all a problem.
"Brother Chao, let me tell you the truth."
We are all close friends. Zhou Yutang was not polite and said tactfully: "If you want to develop into a director, the most important thing is To put quality and reputation together, it’s best to put more effort into the script.”
The implication is that the quality of this book is not enough.
Deng Chao is also a human being, so there is no reason why he doesn’t understand, but his expression is a bit complicated:
“Yu Tang, to tell you the truth, the project is already in place. It will be Lili and I as the leading actors. It will be released in July. Turn on the phone..."
"What do you mean by Lao Wang, do you want to put it on the Lunar New Year schedule?" Zhou Yutang's mind changed slightly.
"If the filming goes well, I have this idea at the moment."
"That may conflict with Tang Tan's schedule."
Zhou Yutang patted Deng Chao on the shoulder and chuckled: "Brother Chao, please show mercy when the time comes."
"Don't be kidding."
Deng Chao waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "Don't It beat me so badly.”
The prosperity comes to an end.
After returning home, Zhou Yutang took a bath first, and Liu Shishi fed him.
In the days after the opening ceremony, Zhou Yutang basically stayed in a hotel to accompany his sister Naza, and during that time he spent two nights fooling around at Tomson Yipin.
When the first sister returned to the Magic City, he moved back to the Poetry Villa and was communicating with Ni Ni wrapped in a bath towel about the premiere of "The Tuner" and the upcoming overseas trip.
After talking about the business, Ni Ni asked: "Boss, why don't you give Shi Shi a movie queen? I think there is a chance. She plays the role very well, and she doesn't even look like an actress."< br>
“Are you praising or scolding?”
“Of course I am praising, I really didn’t expect Shi Shi to act so well.”
"There will be opportunities in the future."
Zhou Yutang glanced at Liu Shishi, who was busy in the kitchen wrapped in a scarf. She had the temperament of a good wife and loving mother.
The Magic City International Film Festival focuses on a balance, embracing all rivers and walking with the light. This year's "Scorching Sun" is undoubtedly the most popular.
Three-yolked eggs are outrageous enough. If it is used for Golden Goblet Award-winning actresses, it will look ugly and the effect will be counterproductive.
“The noodles are ready!”
It was obviously just instant noodles, but Liu Shishi held it carefully in his hand, feeling like he was holding a Buddha and jumping over the wall, with a look of hope on his face:
"Try it quickly."
" There is nothing more delicious than this."
Zhou Yutang took a sip of the noodle soup, feeling intoxicated and speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Actually,
I haven’t eaten instant noodles for a long time, but when I suddenly tasted it, it felt like I was eating the best food in the world.
ps: "CUPID" and "WANNABE" are both pretty good
