Chapter 667: Dedicate yourself to art, a box office explosion!
The industry probably didn’t expect it.
This summer season will be a battle between gods and goddesses.
Since the imported blockbuster "Jurassic World" in June.
The two films "The Tuner" and "The Return of the Great Sage" were both box office hits.
It directly brought the summer season to a climax.
The film and television companies in the circle are still envious of Jiangdong Entertainment's crazy money-making. "Pancake Man" and "Monster Hunt" were released simultaneously.
"Monster Hunt" has a high first-day film schedule 39%, with a box office of 159 million, succeeding "The Return of the Great Sage" and becoming the single-day box office champion!"
"Pancake Man" has a good start, with a hard-to-find 139 million on the first day!"
It was a huge hit on the first day, and even the unstoppable Maha Sage was pushed to the top spot on the box office chart that day.
China's box office took off completely, and the film and television industry was shocked by it.
The crew members of "Tang Detective" are also discussing this matter,
"Dong Xiaopeng has soared into the sky now. I don't know how good the film is."
"I heard that Mr. Jiang from Anle has been working hard on this project for several years and used the top special effects team in Hollywood."
"The team behind the scenes really has something."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.
He and Xu Yicheng, the director of "Monster Hunt", met several times at Hollywood receptions.
Xu Yicheng previously worked on animated films at DreamWorks and was deeply involved in the development and production of "Shrek".
This time he became famous in one battle in China.
“The key is that the movie is good-looking.”
Chen Xi stood from the standpoint of the producer and gave his professional judgment: "It brings the nature of a family comedy again."
"There is no less money spent on marketing."
Ning Hao failed. Smashing his mouth: "Even Running Man has specially customized a program. What do you say, Boss Zhou?"
"Do things with money."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "Boss Jiang is willing to smash Money.”
Running Man and Ji Tiao are national-level variety shows and an important channel for domestic film promotion.
Under normal circumstances, movie stars are invited to be guests, and the movie is occasionally mentioned in the program to do positive publicity.
Zhou Yutang pushed the promotional resources for the movie "The Return of the Great Sage" to the S level.
The two variety shows, Running Man and Extreme Challenge, specially cooperated with the promotion of the movie and produced a program with the theme of Journey to the West to boost the popularity of the movie.
"Monster Hunt" is a program with special content that Boss Jiang spent a lot of money to buy from Running Man.
This movie, like Koto's "Heart of the Burning Sun", was actually filmed last year.
As a result, the Gao Miao Flour incident occurred first in "The Burning Sun".
When Zhou Yutang learned about this, he directly deleted all of Gao Miao's scenes in "Heart of the Burning Sun" and hired Liu Huohua to reshoot.
Later, the red-headed document came out and Anle’s Boss Jiang invested an additional 80 million yuan, bringing the total cost of the film to 450 million yuan!
We also got Ke Moumou, the leading actor from "Monster Hunt", and hired Jing Boran to reshoot...
"Little deer, come here, drink water."
The crew finished work, and Zhou Yutang took the initiative to find Lu Han to talk.
Since the filming started, Wang Baorong and Xiao Yang have not bothered Zhou Yutang much, and they are very capable of adjustment.
Lu Han is in some trouble.
This is also what Zhou Yutang expected to happen after he settled the role.
According to teacher Liu Tianchi’s feedback, Lu Han has been paying great attention to acting classes in the past few months.
Now I have started to get started in acting, but I may not be willing to do it to the point where it will shine in people’s eyes.
Being an actor depends on hard work and hard work and talent.
Some basic things can be gradually strengthened through professional and systematic learning.
However, abilities such as comprehension, understanding, and perception are difficult to develop through acquisition.
It requires a person to discover it on his own or be born with it.
Obviously.
Although his fans all boast that Lu Han is a born actor, in Zhou Yutang's view, his acting talent is not that outstanding.
Sitting and chatting with him casually, when he talked about the Jiangdong girl group, he could feel that Lu Han was obviously relaxed and active.
“The new songs from the debut album entered the B chart, which is the ceiling for all girl groups in the past. He even won several first places in singing competition shows. He is completely ahead of the new generation. It’s amazing..."
In the field he is good at, Lu Han's relaxed state is also the most natural. Zhou Yutang asked casually:
"How does it feel different to perform on the stage than acting?"
"You have to pay attention to the stage movements and camera positions. Dances and songs have been practiced countless times in private."
Lu Han smiled and sincerely apologized: "When it comes to acting, you have to consider more. There are also lines and rhythm. Sorry, boss, I held the crew back."
"You have done a very good job."
Zhou Yutang encouraged him.
“It’s mainly because it’s different from being a pendant in a movie.”
Hearing what he said, Zhou Yutang chuckled: “Director Chen Zhengdao spoke well of you in the last film. So is Yizha.”
“Sister Zha’s acting skills are really good”
Lu Han felt a little embarrassed: “I’m far behind her.”
The first movie he returned to China to star in was "20 Again."
That movie was completely a stage for Reyza to show off her acting skills. The role of Lu Han was not that important, and it was an atmosphere group with its own flow.
"You all came from the Yamashita Academy. Teacher Liu Tianchi also took her under her care, so you can be considered as a teacher from the same school."
"Well, Sister Zha took good care of me at that time."
“Are you a little nervous about playing with Bao Hao?”
"I'm a little nervous, Brother Bao's acting skills are too strong."
Lu Han shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Many times, I can't keep up with the rhythm of his performance, and I kind of doubt my ability."< br>
“You don’t believe my vision and judgment?”
“No, no!”
Lu Han was startled and shook his head repeatedly.
"I cast you as Qin Feng because this role is really suitable for you."
Zhou Yutang said unhurriedly: "It turns out that I rarely misjudge people."
Let Lu Han play the protagonist throughout Tang Tan's entire movie, and the opposite actor is Bao Hao. Thinking about it makes me feel a little numb.
But there is no point in preaching now.
You have to give Lu Han more confidence and let him subconsciously believe in his abilities.
Zhou Yutang is also a master at giving chicken soup, and slowly builds Lu Han's psychology, "Have you seen "Sherlock"?"
"Yes, I have."
Lu Han points out nodded.
"Then do you remember."
Zhou Yutang took a sip of water and asked with a smile: "When Watson first met Sherlock and followed him to investigate the scene, the female police officer Ever said something?”
Lu Han thought for a while and said: "It seems to say that Sherlock is very dangerous."
"Yes, because Sherlock is somewhat fanatical and obsessed with crimes and murders, almost bloodthirsty, far beyond normal Sooner or later, people will turn to crime because of dissatisfaction."
Zhou Yutang directed the topic to the movie: "Qin Feng is also somewhat similar to Sherlock's setting. His family and experience determine. He is not a happy person."
"That's why he said he wanted to commit a perfect crime." Lu Han suddenly realized.
This is also a part of the plot. When Qin Feng applied for the police academy interview, he stammered an unbelievable reason:
He wanted to pull off the perfect crime.
Zhou Yutang also had very high requirements for Lu Han, and this scene was filmed at least twenty times.
Ning Hao and Chen Xi also guest-starred as male and female examiners of the police academy.
"Your understanding of Qin Feng is basically no problem."
Zhou Yutang continued: "Although he has strong logic and reasoning abilities, he is not good at communication, has some ego, and does not have that He has a strong sense of justice, he is just interested in who the criminal is and how he committed the crime"
"The detective duo of Qin Feng and Tang Ren, both in terms of image and personality, have been designed."
Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "You and Bao Qiang are both the protagonists, but he is the protagonist. Tang Tan’s drama.”
“Boss.”
Lu Han had a sudden thought: “Will the protagonist of the Demon Thief Group interact with the protagonist of Tang Tan?”
“Maybe it’s possible.”
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth: "Let's finish the current movie first."
If King Akai debuts in the Thief series, he is invincible.
A thrilling and dazzling magic show, killing people indiscriminately, so exciting that you can fly up.
Then Qin Feng’s positioning in the Tang Detective series feels a bit upgraded.
A genius boy with many ideas, a natural detective, but he does not have much social experience and is not very good at communicating with others.
From being young at the beginning, with the help of Tang Ren, and later facing the mysterious and powerful Q organization, Qin Feng has an extremely obvious growth curve.
Inside Tang Detective, Zhou Yutang also carefully set up some hidden easter eggs.
For example, the scene of the four-man gang of demon thieves making shocking news by robbing a bank with their shocking magic show flashed on TV.
At this moment, the crew stopped working, and Zhou Yutang and Lu Han had a chat. many.
Being a director is not just about sitting behind the monitor.
A dog can be tied up alive.
Not only must we master all aspects of the crew, but more importantly, we must communicate with the actors in order to achieve the best shooting results.
After receiving a call, Zhou Yutang patted Lu Han on the shoulder and stood up:
“Go back by yourself and think about it carefully. If you don’t understand something, you can ask Teacher Ning Li. Please communicate more.”
“Okay boss, I understand.”
"Dear, why are you so late?"
"The shooting was a bit difficult today, so I chatted with Xiaolu tonight."
Zhou Yutang returned to the hotel, soaking in the bathtub, and answered Made a video call with Liu Shishi.
Old couples are so casual.
Liu Shishi looked at Zhou Yutang leaning back with his eyes closed to rest, and his voice unconsciously became gentle: "I believe you, last time I met Lu Han at an event, he was quite polite."
"The little deer people are pretty good."
Zhou Yutang rubbed his temples: "Take your time."
"By the way, hubby, what's good to eat in Tyrande?"
“The banana pancakes are not bad, and the coconut ice cream is also okay. Personally, I prefer the fried spring rolls and oyster omelets, which is the oyster omelet we have in Xiamen...”
“In Minnan dialect, yes. Fried, I had it last time in Taiwan! ”
When Liu Shishi mentioned delicious food, he immediately became excited.
Seafood is probably one of the commendable delicacies here in Tyrande.
The large plump oysters are wrapped in egg liquid, fried on a pan until golden brown, and then sprinkled with some spices and pepper. It is really delicious.
"What a pity. I originally wanted to go to Tyrande to see you, but Sister Cai urged me so urgently that the company held a meeting and I am about to join the team again..."
Liu Shishi rolled on the bed and lay on his stomach talking.
Under the soft nightgown, the skin under the collar was exposed, as well as the heart-beating deep valley.
"Is it "The Battle at Dawn"?"
"Well, I have asked Director Liu for more than a week's leave."
Since the first film "Latent" by Koto The track for domestic spy dramas has opened up, and many high-quality spy dramas have emerged.
Director Liu Jiang, Zhou Yutang's senior brother, made "Before Dawn" two years ago, which received a good reputation and won three TV drama awards.
The current film "Dawn" basically continues the cast of the previous film except for Zhang Songwen who is filming "Signal".
Almost all the old faces from the Eighth Intelligence Bureau are here, plus the super popular little girl Liu Shishi.
It is considered a high-profile project in the industry, but Zhou Yutang is not very eye-catching.
Taking this play was unanimously approved by Cai Yinong and other senior officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Shishi himself nodded.
As the top sister of the company, she has a huge fan base and guaranteed ratings. The executives can count on her to sell dramas.
“At the company, the broadcast data of "Wuxin Master" is not bad, there is also "Qin Shi Mingyue" to be broadcast, and Sister K is planning to make "Fairy Sword and Cloud"."
"This Lao Cai thinks about making things worse all day long."
"It's not easy for Sister K, she also wants to make the company bigger."
Liu Shishi smiled and said: "Besides, I'm also the producer of the show "Ling Ming." There's nothing wrong with that.
If possible, who wouldn’t want to go to Huaqing and Yanda?
Lao Cai only wants to become bigger and stronger.
What a pity.
Her thinking and operation methods are gradually unable to keep up with the current audience.
Time abandons a person.
I don’t even say hello.
The scene rehearsed today is quite sexy.
Tang Ren took Qin Feng to peek at Axiang taking a bath, and was caught on the spot.
“Crack!”
Zhou Yutang's deep voice sounded, and he started playing the board again.
It took less than two minutes to reshoot, Zhou Yutang frowned and said:
“Let’s do it again, the effect this time doesn’t seem to be very good.”
“Yuanyuan Sister, the monitor is here for you!”
After several attempts, Zhou Yutang stopped filming, and the recorder called over with sympathy in his eyes.
Da Meiyuan's face was a little hot.
Lu Han's performance was not very good a few days ago, and she was still teaching others. Now it is her turn to not perform well, and she feels a little ashamed.
"Sister Yuanyuan, adjust your movements a little, and notice that while you are taking a shower, you observe the movement next door..."
"When I walk, I want to be charming. It feels..."
"Okay, director"
There were many people in the crew, but Da Meiyuan was very obedient and thought about her next performance method.
Zhou Yutang looked at Da Meiyuan up and down, and called Chen Xi over:
"Let everyone else go out first."
"Everyone go out first."
Chen Xi understood and called all the idle people out.
"What do you want to do?"
Da Meiyuan was stunned, but she saw Zhou Yutang smiled lightly:
"Sister Yuanyuan, take off your clothes."
"You want to die. "La!"
Da Meiyuan glanced around and patted Zhou Yutang gently:
"There are so many people on the crew, don't think about making trouble."
"Where are you thinking."
Zhou Yutang chuckled softly: "I mean you take off your underwear, so the shooting effect will be better Okay. ”
What you should see and what you shouldn’t see.
He has seen them all and tried them all.
In what state does Da Meiyuan look the best? No one has more say than him.
Da Meiyuan still obeyed and obeyed.
This shot seems simple, but is actually not simple at all. I shot it more than ten times before and after.
This is the routine Zhou Yutang learned from the Sunglasses King.
It takes time, saves footage, and tortures the actors.
A scene may need to be shot dozens or hundreds of times.
Actors are not robots. Every time they perform, there will be subtle differences.
In this way, based on a large number of materials, the version with the best effect is selected.
This is how the beautiful scene of Nazha being praised by fans in "The Secret of the Dragon" came about.
Of course.
The prerequisite for this is that the actor himself has certain acting experience or has special talent.
For newcomers like Lu Han, Zhou Yutang has to teach him step by step.
He is not as perverted as the King of Sunglasses.
After all, he is known to be a fast shooter.
Before starting a play, I have a specific picture in my mind, and I just work on some key details.
The character of Axiang is the second hidden twist in the movie. This is a gift to the audience, so naturally more thought must be put into it.
There is currently no specific performance method, so Da Meiyuan relies on experience and subconsciously makes adjustments.
It is difficult for Baoqiang.
Looking at the broken board, he acted out the covetous and vulgar way Brother Pig looks at beautiful women.
Then according to the plot, Ah Xiang discovered him, got mad on the spot, and ran over to ask for punishment.
He relied on Qin Feng with righteousness and shamelessness.
The contrast between before and after makes people laugh.
Zhou Yutang watched the replay and nodded: "Okay, prepare for the next one."
"How can you learn this kind of thing if you don't learn well at a young age?"
“I, I, I didn’t, didn’t?”
Lu Han explained anxiously with half-panda eyes, his clean and clear face turned red.
Being guilty and nervous, he also stuttered a bit when speaking.
"It's nothing, you haven't seen enough, have you?"
Bao Ru pretended to educate Qin Feng earnestly, "This time they poured hot water, next time it will be sulfuric acid!"
Then he started sending rainbow farts in an exaggerated tone: "Do you know who this noble, beautiful and kind-hearted person is?"
“She is my landlady!”
“The most beautiful woman in Chinatown, Ah Xiang!”
“Who is he?”
“He is my cousin Brother, look, are we equally handsome?”
The wretched and greasy Bao Hao hugged the clean and delicate Lu Han, feeling good about himself.
"I think you are equally good | lustful!"
Bao Hao performed normally and performed well, but it was Lu Han's performance that surprised Zhou Yutang.
Originally I thought I would spend a lot of time on Lu Han.
But I didn’t expect that the exchange last night was quite useful. Lu Han was obviously in a different state today, and he felt a little enlightened.
Even Ning Hao came over and curiously asked what kind of magic medicine Zhou Yutang gave Lu Han.
One is clear and witty, the other is oily and exaggerated.
It can be said that they complement each other.
…………
“The box office of “The Return of the Great Sage” grew steadily in the second week, with a cumulative box office of 875 million in 11 days of release, setting a new box office record for Chinese animation movies!”
< br>""Pancake Man" earned 423 million at the box office in its first weekend, and Director Xiaopeng is confident that the box office will exceed 1 billion!"
""Monster Hunt" grossed 662 million in its first four days, a summer box office explosion!"
Three movies are competing for the summer season at the same time.
The gods fight, but it affects Chiyu.
The first one to bear the brunt is Guo Xiaosi's "Tiny Times 4". The cumulative box office has reached nearly 404 million, but the film schedule has dropped to 2.3%, and its potential has been completely exhausted.
At this time, "The Tuner" has finally finished its release period, with a box office revenue of 912 million.
The entire film market is in full bloom, and Chinese-language films are gaining momentum, driving the box office to rise steadily and shocking countless film and television companies in the industry.
Before that.
The Jiangdong family has only been seen dancing alone, and there has never been a phenomenon where a domestic film has become popular among the people.
What does this mean?
It shows that the capacity of the entire Chinese film market has developed to a considerable extent.
It's even enough to accommodate three blockbusters coexisting at the same time.
“You really hit the mark.”
Ning Haoren was on the set, looking at the analysis report submitted by the Jiangdong Entertainment Data Department, and couldn’t help but say:
“ Maybe, there is really hope for a movie with a box office of 3 billion.”
“It’s not a hope, it’s a certainty.”
Zhou Yutang took a sip of the coconut milk handed over by Ni Ni, and asked by the way: "Is the Youke team arriving soon?"
"It will be there tomorrow morning."
"You go and receive it Next, the meeting is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.”
……
“Welcome to Bangkok, wehopeyouenjoyyourstay.”
Listening to the welcome message from Bangkok Airport, Feng Ji took off his glasses and wiped them gently.
The team members around me were laughing and excited beyond words.
This is a rare opportunity to go on a business trip to Tyrande, and it is reimbursed at public expense, which is basically like a vacation.
When the five of them came out of the airport, they saw Ni Ni, who was dressed in casual clothes and wearing a pair of sunglasses, who stood out in the crowd.
"Hello, Mr. Feng."
"Miss Ni Ni, hello, hello."
"Come with me, Mr. Zhou asked me to pick you up."
Without much greeting, Ni Ni made a request With gestures, he led his assistant to lead the way, and two commercial vehicles were arranged outside.
Pretending not to hear a few otakus whispering about her beauty, Ni Ni looked back with a gentle smile: "Mr. Feng, go to the hotel to settle your luggage later. Mr. Zhou is on the set. You guys have had dinner. No?"
"Please, Miss Ni, I ate it on the plane."
Feng Ji pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. A young man with long hair sitting behind him stuck his head out: "Miss Ni, can we go to the set this afternoon?"
"No problem."
Ni Ni smiled lightly, chatting with Feng Ji and others about the local customs and customs of Tyrande, while sending a message to the assistant team.
It is difficult for ordinary people to have access to the entertainment industry, let alone Zhou Yutang, a fairy figure in the Chinese entertainment industry. It is understandable that he is excited.
After going to the hotel to put away their luggage, Ni Ni took Feng Ji and his team to the filming location.
"Are there police officers still maintaining order?"
The driver of the commercial vehicle showed his ID before entering. Several people poked their heads around and found that there were police officers with guns guarding the street, and they became awe-struck. respect.
“Today’s scene is shot in real location. The set needs to be set up in Chinatown, which will have a great impact on the surrounding life, so the shooting time is quite tight.”
Ni Nibian explained. , got out of the car: "Follow me."
Feng Ji led everyone to get out of the car after Ni Ni, which felt a bit strange.
"Hold the grass, Zhou Yutang!"
"Ning Hao is here, I saw Bao Qi."
"Is that Lu Han?"
"."
The friends around me were very excited. Some people wanted to take out their mobile phones to take pictures, but were politely stopped by the assistant next to them.
"Sorry, you can't take pictures at the shooting site. I will take you to take a group photo later."
"Sorry, we don't understand this."
The long-haired young man smiled and put away cell phone.
The huge crew is all in good order.
Everyone at the scene seemed very busy, but all workers were working step by step, and there was no confusion or noise at all.
Feng Ji felt the momentum of a big production.
Looking at Zhou Yutang, who was holding a walkie-talkie and giving orders, he looked like the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
Everything on site.
Everything is under his absolute control.
The so-called myth of a person is probably like this.
