Chapter 665: Dark mythological theme, romantic and happy governor
Two years ago.
Tencent has made a dark journey to the west "God of War" based on the story of Journey to the West.
Strange and gorgeous, it became famous for a while.
It’s a pity that it was short-lived.
The game stops at the Lady of Bones chapter and ends gloomily.
The planning and production team behind this game left Tencent and founded Game Science Company, referred to as Youke.
Teacher Six has always been thinking about Lianghua.
Zhou Yutang has also been thinking about the two blossoming of Chinese myth-themed film and television games.
Since the establishment of the "Return of the Monkey King" project, there have been plans for derivative peripherals and subsequent games.
It is not a money-making mobile game or web game related to Westward Journey.
It is a high-quality stand-alone game with the theme of Journey to the West.
Domestic 3a is still a blue ocean market. What Zhou Yutang has to do is to be the first to eat crabs.
It’s just that Star Games is still fully promoting “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” and is seriously short of manpower.
This requires additional recruitment, and Zhou Yutang is eyeing the Youke team.
It took a few days to meet the boss of Youke, but I met Mr. Wang Guangguang first in Jiangdong Building.
As soon as they met, Lao Wang’s eyes turned into lemon shapes, and his tone was full of envy:
“The Tuner went straight to 1 billion, and the Return of the Great Sage is even more popular. Against the odds, this is over 300 million.”
“One billion is a bit difficult”
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: “Mr. Wang saw the Great Sage?”
"I just watched it last night, it's really amazing!"
As a professional in the film and television industry, he naturally knows the goods. Wang Changtian said with emotion: "At least one billion in box office will start, and the post-production promotion will keep up, and even... there will be Hope is higher.”
What shocked Lao Wang was that domestic animated films have already reached the level of Hollywood!
The quality of the movie "The Return of the Great Sage" is excellent in terms of pictures, sound effects, and story. It can even be said to be surprisingly high!
“It took the October team eight years of hard work to achieve the results it has today.”
Zhou Yutang did not take credit, but was humble: "Of course I have to thank Director Guo."
"Director Guo?"
"Director Guo Xiaosi next door."
Zhou Yutang teased: "If it weren't for him, the box office of The Great Sage wouldn't have been so high."
"Tiny Times 4" has a terrible reputation. After accurately harvesting fans and specific groups of people, it succumbed at the speed of light.
In just a few days, the film schedule dropped from 40% to 25%, and there was no base base to speak of.
Most of the extra films fell on the Great Sage.
"I think Zhang Zhao and Guo Xiaosi will burst into tears after hearing what you said."
Wang Changtian pushed up his glasses. He probably found Zhou Yutang's statement interesting and couldn't help but smile. .
"Mr. Wang, why do I hear that you are gloating about others' misfortune?"
"No, don't talk nonsense. Haha!"
Old Wang endured it very hard, but finally couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Zhao was the boss of Enlight Pictures back then, but was later kicked out of the company due to an internal power struggle. He turned around and started LeTV Pictures with Boss Jia. Zhou Yutang was sort of cleaning up the family for him.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you very much."
Wang Changtian was in a good mood: "If "Gardenia Blooms" was placed at the same time as the Great Sage, I'm afraid it would be beaten down ”
When Enlight officially announced that "Gardenia Blooms" would be released at the beginning of the month, some experts in the film and television industry mocked Lao Wang for losing his mind.
Now it seems that Zhou Yutang’s gaze is indeed like a god.
Although Gardenia doesn’t have a good reputation, with Chen Kaige’s Taoist priest attracting firepower, not so many people pay attention to it.
Gardenia originally went to make money, but now it has achieved its goal of making money silently, while Poet Chen's Taoist priest is still going down the mountain.
Wang Changtian was very interested in animated movies and asked a lot about the things behind the scenes of "The Return of the Great Sage".
In fact, Enlight Media had already laid out the animation industry long before Zhou Yutang.
We also joined hands with Xuanji Technology in Hangzhou to create a major IP movie of the Qin Dynasty, "The Dragon in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty".
When it was released in the summer last year, the total box office was less than 60 million. This box office was obviously not enough to recover the investment cost of 40 million.
But Lao Wang still had ambitions, and then Guangguang was preparing to produce the animated film "Big Fish and Begonia".
Now that he has seen the success of the movie "The Return of the Great Sage", Wang Changtian has become more determined to invest in animated movies.
After chatting for a while about the recent film market, the situation was almost improving. Zhou Yutang finally got to the point and said seriously:
"Mr. Wang, if there is a suitable animation project in the future, our two families can work on it together."
“Let’s do it together?”
Wang Changtian had a hint of surprise on his face, but he was more excited.
He vaguely felt that Zhou Yutang wanted to make something happen, and it was something big.
"I am also a shareholder of Enlight."
Zhou Yutang smiled and poured a cup of tea for Lao Wang, and revealed a little bit about Jiangdong Entertainment's animation industry layout:
"The next stage, Jiangdong animated movies The plan has been finalized, a sequel to the Journey to the West, and a Fengshen-themed animated film.”
“Fengshen theme?”
“Yes.”
Zhou Yutang smiled lightly.
There is so much content to be explored in the Chinese mythological animated film.
Except for the great sage from "Journey to the West", Nezha and Yang Jian are also extremely popular.
Koto Mirai’s scheduled animation theme and supporting dark myth-themed game are being promoted simultaneously.
Only Jiangdong Entertainment can't develop it even if it works at full capacity.
Making animated films is different from live-action film and television works. The threshold for the animation industry is higher, the cycle is longer, and the risks are greater.
The team of "The Return of the Great Sage" has just mastered this amazing sword in eight years.
In this case, it is better to recruit allies to develop together and make the entire market bigger.
Huayi, Alibaba, LeTV and other companies have all approached Zhou Yutang before, and they all offered generous conditions to reach a strategic agreement.
But the above mentioned people are basically focused on the capital market.
What Zhou Yutang wants to do is the entertainment industry, where content is king.
So I chose Guangwang Laowang.
In this flamboyant circle, Wang Changtian's down-to-earth and low-key style suits him well.
Currently, the distribution of some of Jiangdong Entertainment’s films is still handled by Enlight.
International Chapter recently became pregnant, but Wang Feng didn’t know why.
His studio posted an article on Weibo with a rather loud tone: "If there is no Zhou Yutang in the mainland film and television industry, half of the country will be lost. In the same way, if there is no Wang Feng in the domestic entertainment industry, there will be no 'Peak Storm' tour." , then the mainland music scene will lose half of its territory, which will be terrible!”
Then, the article also quoted the data report of the “2015 China Live Music Industry Report” and bluntly stated that Wang Feng is the leader in the domestic entertainment music industry.
As soon as this news came out, it instantly shocked half of the entertainment industry!
More sarcastic words,
“Zhou Yutang is at the height of his power and has a net worth of hundreds of billions, but he doesn’t say anything about half of the country. Do you, Wang Feng, deserve to be compared with the Governor?”
"How many songs should I match?"
"Looking at Wang Feng's song list over the years, we can find that most of the song titles are very similar to the titles of his good friend Zheng Jun."
"International Zhang Du has named him the 'Sound Emperor', and there is nothing wrong with him. I wish him all the best."
"I am not guilty of being a pioneer in the gambling industry, but I am crazy about being a queen in the film industry!"
“.”
Online jokers try their best to make jokes, and most of them are ridiculing and ridiculing.
Wang Feng did not show up, after all, he never cared whether he made headlines or not.
But his studio quietly deleted Weibo and pretended that nothing happened.
It was fate that made Wang Banbi appear on the hot search list. He failed to make the headlines and was overpowered by the godfather of R&B.
In the past few days, except for the great sage who stepped on Lingxiao, the popularity has exploded.
The hottest topic is the Bay Area singer's affair.
Various large-scale WeChat chat records, bed photos, etc. are flying everywhere, using his notoriety to add a lot of talk to netizens.
The godfather of R&B was very forbearing and kept a low profile for several days before finally holding a media conference.
The chat records between him and the mistress were also published at the meeting and made into a ppt.
The PPT restores the emotional experience between him and his mistress in detail. It is divided into chapters including time and place, interaction between the two, falling in love, etc. It is jaw-dropping.
In addition, he also clarified some false accusations made by his mistress in the PPT, and repeatedly emphasized: "I only love my wife in this life."
Netizens were shocked. This is the first PPT apology for cheating in history. The first person.
“So .PPT still has such a role?”
Zhou Yutang read it several times in the office, and it was really eye-opening: “It’s well-founded and convincing.”
>
Using PPT to explain, the cheating apology has been made into a crisis public relations textbook. Even Boss Jia, who is the master of PPT, has to be convinced.
"Boss, everyone is almost here."
Ni Ni put the file in her hand on Zhou Yutang's desk, and was quite speechless when she saw her boss still admiring the classic ppt.
I secretly complained that when the fish pond exploded, would I want to make a ppt for him too?
"Ask them to conference room 3."
Zhou Yutang quickly signed a document and stood up.
As Tang Tan is about to start filming, he has held several crew meetings at the company in the past few days.
After all, this movie was shot in Tyrande, so I have to give some precautions.
Then the crew and creators can get into shooting mode faster by doing a little bit of running-in in the early stage.
“Keep the little deer here for a while.”
In the past, most governors gave special care to beauties, but this time, for the first time, they focused on taking care of Lu Han.
After all, among the main creators, Lu Han may be the one who struggles with his acting skills.
“The Tuner” has been in theaters for three weeks, with a total box office of 875 million, strongly leading the summer season!”
“The Return of the Great Sage, which has a box office of over 100 million in consecutive working days, has set a new record in domestic productions. Animation movie record!”
The eyes of film and television companies in the industry are full of envy and jealousy, and they all fall on Jiangdong Entertainment.
When La Pei Kang saw the box office report compiled by the China Film Data Department, he also found it incredible and murmured: "This is the double insurance he said, it just wiped out the summer movie!?"
< br>
These two movies, together, basically dominated the first half of the summer season.
Although the box office of "Tiny Times 4" has already reached 354 million at this time, Zhang Zhao of LeTV Pictures raised the French flag in advance and publicly stated:
"Little Times 4" The total box office of "Times" series has exceeded 1.5 billion, which has achieved expectations. I watched "The Return of the Great Sage" last night. This film is undoubtedly the benchmark of the contemporary Chinese animation industry. Congratulations to Mr. Zhou. "Congratulations to Yu Tang."
Yang Mi, the number one general in "Tiny Times 4", even showed off her cards. She directly booked the venue for the "Return of the Great Sage" lottery on her Weibo, and Guo Xiaosi also gave up resistance.
Journey to the West has always been a popular IP among Chinese people.
Since Zhou Xingxing’s “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” became a hit, many Journey to the West themed movie projects have been approved.
This "The Return of the Monkey King" was a box office hit and completely ignited the passion of domestic film and television companies.
I have found the current version of the wealth password.
Tang Yancai joined the cast of "Westward Journey 3" and prepared to challenge the Zixia Fairy of the goddess Zhu Yin.
Zhou Xingxing's Xinghui Company then jointly issued an announcement with several film and television companies in the industry,
"The sequel to Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, directed by Xu Ke and produced by Zhou Xingxing, has been successfully approved and has entered the casting stage.
The film will be jointly produced by China Film, Shanghai Film, Huayi, Xinghui, Hengdian and other companies, and the total investment is expected to be no less than 500 million!”
This piece of film information is like a bombshell. The circle exploded with a bang.
In less than half a day, it appeared on the Weibo hot search list and the entertainment headlines of major portal websites.
Zhou Xingxing's last movie "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons", which coincides with Zhou Yutang's Chinese New Year, is still mentioned by many people.
“Didn’t Zhou Xingxing break up with Hua Yi?”
Ni Ni also saw the news and asked her boss curiously.
“Profit is the eternal theme in this circle.”
Zhou Yutang smiled lightly.
Previously, Zhou Xingxing and Hua Yi went to court for a long time over the 80 million for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".
Some time ago, the court ruled that Zhou Xingxing lost the lawsuit against Huayi for arrears. It was not established due to the lack of signatures and seals of both parties. Accordingly, all claims were dismissed.
After tearing apart the skin, they were able to sit together and cooperate again, which Zhou Yutang couldn't do anyway.
Director Xinghui, who is the main controller of the project, has already released the news that he is preparing to cast the top young actor in the industry as the starring role.
Many media have focused their attention on Lu Han of Jiangdong Entertainment.
Now that the immortals are removed from the position of Grand Governor, the top one in the discussion circle is naturally Xiaolu.
At this stage, Lu Han’s popularity is terrifying.
He himself is a loyal Premier League Red Devils fan. Last time he posted a Weibo post congratulating Zhou Yutang on joining Liverpool and looking forward to the Double Red Devils. The number of comments below actually broke the Guinness World Record
< br>"Xinghui Company has actually contacted Xiaolu."
Ni Ni chuckled: "I heard Yang Tianzhen say that apart from Zhou Xingxing's project, Lu Han has many film appointments."
"LeTV's "Tomb Raiders" movie project, and Galloping Horse has bought the company's B-level copyright, and is planning to have Yang Mi and Lu Han co-star."
"Damimi partnering with Lu Han? ”
Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned.
I joined the group right away. I have been busy cultivating immortality recently, and I also have to manage my time and talk on the phone with Liu Shishi, but I haven’t had much chat with Damimi.
Yang Mi has finished the promotion work of "Tiny Times 4" and will soon participate in the road show promotion of Dong Xiaopeng's "Pancake Man".
Next month, there will be "City in Love" co-directed by young directors Dong Leonnian, Han Yi, Fu Tianyu, Ji Jiatong and others.
In order to accumulate connections, Damimi lowered her salary to play the heroine in one of the units.
The outside world says that Zhou Yutang is a model worker. Compared with Da Mimi, he is simply in health care.
Just this summer, Yang Mi has three movies to be released, as well as a TV series project. The desperate thirteenth mother is really no joke.
“It’s the movie “Blind Witness” directed by South Korea’s Ahn Sang-hoon a few years ago.”
"No impression."
"Kim Ha Neul won the Best Actress award for this movie."
Ni Ni glanced at Zhou Yutang and said unhurriedly: "At that time, you and Lin Yoona It's a scandal."
"It's about the Blue Dragon Award."
Hearing her reminder, Zhou Yutang thought about it.
At that time, he seemed to be living and flying with Lin Yoona in South Korea.
That year, the Sino-Korean co-production "A League of Thieves" swept the film markets of both countries. He first won the Blue Dragon Award and then the Golden Horse. He was in the limelight for a while.
Because the genre was suitable and the role was rare, Zhou Yutang asked Pei Yun to acquire the Chinese copyright for this movie.
It is also a film project plan prepared for Liu Shishi.
After comparison, it was found that the script of "The Tuner" of the same type was of higher quality, so the development of this film project was put aside.
Thanks to Zhou Yutang's early layout, Jiangdong Entertainment's film and television copyright library is full of treasures.
The company's internal copyright new business evaluation is divided into several levels: S, A, and B.
S level is the highest, A level is in the middle, and B level is the lowest.
The Chinese version of "Blind Witness" was not ranked high, so naturally it could only languish in Jiangdong Entertainment's film and television copyright library.
For Jiangdong Entertainment, it may be useless.
But for other film and television companies, it is also a rare high-quality project.
Zhou Yutang basically didn't care about projects below Category A. Li Shuang took the initiative and sold the copyright to Big Dog Brother, which recovered the operating costs and even made a profit.
Boss Jia of LeTV and Zhang Qiang, CEO of Alibaba Pictures, are most covetous of Jiangdong’s film and television copyright library.
The former spent a huge amount of money to acquire "Tomb Raiders", TV series and movies, gearing up for a big fight.
The latter even used big data analysis to lock in "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and launched a tug-of-war in copyright negotiations for nearly a month.
The people at Alibaba Pictures were a bit deep in their routines. Halfway through the conversation, they contacted Aunt Liu first and hinted that Liu Yifei would partner with Zhou Yutang to create the first fantasy love IP in China.
After drawing a bunch of cakes, Aunt Liu became interested and asked Liu Tianxian to come and have a taste.
Ali turned around and took Liu Yifei as a bargaining chip, wanting to speed up negotiations with Jiangdong.
“Being smart.”
When it comes to interests, Zhou Yutang is very clear-headed: “If it’s less than 80 million, don’t even think about it.”
The film and television rights of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" are in the hands of Jiangdong Entertainment, but Jiangdong has too many high-quality film and television resources.
This item can only be queued later.
At that time, the most likely possibility is to unite with powerful film and television companies in the industry to exchange resources and develop together.
At that time, it cost two million to collect the copyright.
Nowadays, Zhou Yutang thinks that the price of 80 million is normal for a single movie copyright.
It’s just a little bit of money for Ali, a big dog...
"The Return of the Great Sage" is almost unstoppable and continues to widen the gap with "Tiny Times 4".
Movies such as Journey to the West and Three Kingdoms also have a certain film market in Neon. This time Zhou Yutang handed over to Dongbao Group for distribution in Neon region.
The night before leaving for Tyrande, he had a video call with the person in charge of Neon Toho Group,
"Neon regional box office was 90 million yen in the first week ?”
The Japanese supervision and dubbing lineup of the neon version can also be called luxurious.
The Japanese director is Goro Miyazaki, the son of Hayao Miyazaki and the director of "Poppy Hill" and "Earthsea".
As for the dubbing lineup, we have also invited heavyweight voice actors such as Taketo Yasushi (Ryosuke Takahashi of "Initial D", Shinsuke Takasugi of "Gintama").
We will leave for Tyrande tomorrow, and Da Meiyuan is packing her suitcase.
Zhou Yutang withdrew his gaze from Da Meiyuan's hip line, and his mind changed slightly. After converting the exchange rate, it was only about 5.4 million yuan.
This number is almost negligible for China's soaring box office.
The main reason is the conservative film arrangement of Toho Group. In that small area, there are only two to three hundred theaters showing the film.
There is nothing we can do about it, after all, it is not a movie starring Zhou Yutang himself.
However, the word-of-mouth feedback in the neon area is pretty good.
There has never been a Chinese animated film overseas before. Compared with the box office, "The Return of the Great Sage" obviously has other far-reaching significance.
"Mr. Zhou, the feedback from the audience in the Neon area is very good. Next, we will increase the number of films."
"Oh, he seems to have said a lot, what else did he say?"
Zhou Yutang touched his chin.
The translator in the video relayed with a strange expression: "The person in charge of Dongbao said that if you have the opportunity, you are welcome to come to Neon, and he will definitely entertain you wholeheartedly."
"."
Huang Xiaochu, who is active in front of the audience with "Longing for Life", posted a photo of his daughter Duoduo on Weibo,
"I took Duoduo to the cinema to watch "The Return of the Great Sage" last night. This is the best Chinese animated film, not inferior to Hollywood standards.
Duoduo was very moved after watching it. She was so motivated when she came back that she borrowed her mother’s computer and sat in bed to write the script, because she and her husband were so excited. A good friend was rehearsing a play together. It was a new version of Cinderella. She was responsible for writing the script and starring in it. I thought she was a childish talker, but I didn’t expect it to come true and I had to play the role.”
At that time! Huang Duoduo in "Where Are We Going, Dad" is also a little girl familiar to the audience.
Now that she has grown up, the little girl is sitting on the bed, holding the computer and writing the script seriously. Judging from the content on the screen, the script is still in English.
On the way to the airport by car with Da Meiyuan, Zhou Yutang opened WeChat and took a look.
Huang Sanshi also sent him a congratulatory message, which was a bit of a trick.
He learned from Zhang Ruojun that the recording of "Longing for Life" almost overturned.
At that time, Huang Sanshi was going to transform into Chef Huang and show everyone at Mushroom House how to braise pork ribs with beans.
A few minutes after putting it in the pot, I picked up a piece of green beans and tasted it. Teacher He also tasted the saltiness and was ready to follow up and praise it.
As expected, the result was unexpected.
Trivia: Eating undercooked beans by mistake may cause gastrointestinal poisoning, causing stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, chest tightness, and palpitation.
That night, Huang Sanshi and Teacher He were taken to the hospital by the program crew because of food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea.
Song Qian was choosing vegetables, and Zhang Ruojun was carrying bricks and chopping firewood beside her. She managed to escape.
“Sawadika.”
When Ning Hao boarded Zhou Yutang's private jet, Da Meiyuan couldn't help laughing.
The floral shirt and beach shorts, the big face that cannot be covered by sunglasses, and the exaggerated gold necklace around his neck belong to his true form.
Lin Liang and Chen Xi have already gone to Tyrande with the behind-the-scenes team.
Ning Hao said he wanted to experience the joy of a private jet.
Zhou Yutang was a little helpless, so she took him with her.
"Don't tell me, it feels really good."
Sinking into the large leather seats, enjoying the attentive service of the dedicated stewardess, he felt flattered and couldn't help but said to Zhou Yutang:
“You’ve lived such a life, it’s so nourishing.”
Netizens’ jokes about the Governor’s romantic and cheerful nature have been around for a long time, but only when you are around him can you truly experience it. Netizens are still conservative. .
The stewardess on the plane just now was a top flight attendant professional.
Once you put on that uniform, your voice is sweet and your temperament is gentle, which is fascinating.
At this time, beside Zhou Yutang, there is the charming Ni Ni, accompanied by national goddesses such as Gao Yuanyuan.
It really makes others envious.
