Chapter 722 All-in-one, one emperor, one courtier
"Stephen Chow directed the movie "Mermaid" in 19 days, and the box office exceeded 3 billion. Following Zhou Yutang, Stephen Chow has entered the 3 billion box office club!"< br>
“The Chinese film industry has been crowned the gods for two weeks. As of the 26th, the cumulative box office of "Mermaid" has reached 3.005 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach the top!"
"The Film Bureau announced: Approval shall be given by the producer Submit an application for the extension key of the film "Mermaid", and the film will be postponed until the evening of April 7th! "
After the new year, "Qing Yu Nian 3" will dominate the small screen without any rivals, and "Mermaid" will also be in the Chinese film industry! Rampage on the altar.
Several pieces of news in a row have turned the entire Chinese film industry upside down.
"Detective Chinatown" has raised the peak record of the Chinese film list to 3 billion, reaching the top of the Chinese film world. It has just finished its perfect curtain call, and another box office monster has taken over to claim the title.
The Governor of Jiangdong, which will be in business after the new year, has been on the top of the headlines since the Beijing TV Drama Fair, and the sweeping of buildings at Station B has been steadily trending.
The bi-weekly combination that Zhou Xingxing has repeatedly proposed during variety shows and road shows has once again aroused heated discussions among netizens.
Just imagine, if these two gods really join forces, it will be the best of all, and it is definitely worth looking forward to.
However, some people are more concerned than the movie fans. The head of China Film Group personally called and wanted to lock in a boat ticket for the bi-weekly cooperation project in advance. Zhou Yutang explained with a smile,
“La Dong, it’s all Zhou Xingxing’s. He’s just hyping it up.”
He came up with the idea of using Master Xing as emotional marketing, and Zhou Xingxing was also very smart and took advantage of him.
——Knowing what the audience likes to hear, during the movie road show, when the star opens his mouth, it means he has the idea of collaboration, which depends on the schedule, and the audience becomes perplexed.
“That’s a shame.”
Pei Kang didn't hit the date with his stick, and didn't care too much: "I heard that "The Broken Tomb" is going to be released in South Korea?"
"Well, it's just these two days, I have to go there later. "
"."
La Peikang felt a little regretful. As for the movie "Broken Tomb", if it weren't for the special subject matter, it could be regarded as a cultural exchange and cooperation project between the two countries. Highlights.
Zhou Yutang chatted absentmindedly with Pei Kang for a few words and quickly hung up the phone.
He reached out and grabbed Liu Tianxian's white and tender feet, and squeezed them almost subconsciously.
Little Miss Liu arched her feet, couldn't help but struggle, and began to beg for mercy: "Let me go, stinky little Zhou, I'm so itchy!"
Just now Zhou Yutang was having sex with Pei When Kang was talking about something, Liu Tianxian stretched out his leg like a mischief, like a kitten's paw, and rubbed it gently.
It makes people stand without any concern.
Perhaps it was because he had not practiced immortality for nearly two weeks, so Liu Tianxian was particularly proactive during this reunion.
As monks, it is our duty to dedicate ourselves to the path of immortality.
While they were rubbing each other's ears and temples tenderly, Liu Yifei suddenly received a call from Mr. Zhou and made a shushing gesture. That unique voice calmed down Zhou Yutang.
"She has been in a lot of limelight recently."
A duvet seemed to be uncovered, Zhou Yutang's legs poked out from the edge of the quilt, but they were entangled by Tianxian's smooth and delicate legs. .
Liu Yifei and Mr. Zhou were chatting, but he didn't bother them and only replied to messages.
Mr. Zhou can be said to be the top flower in the circle.
With the honor of being a three-time Best Actress, she has a ceiling for domestic entertainment actresses. She has both traffic and celebrity status, and is the target of many big directors vying to work with her.
During the period before and after the New Year, there was a lot of news about her on the Internet. Liu Tianxian and Zhou Yutang talked on the phone during the Chinese New Year, and they often talked about her.
"Director Xu An's painting" The movie "When Will the Bright Moon Come?" is about to be finalized, right?"
"Sister Xun is preparing to join the movie starring Xu An, and there is also a TV series "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace". It seems to be finalized soon.”
"Xiao Zhou, Sister Xun said, I'll meet you for dinner tonight."
"Come here to eat and drink again?" Zhou Yutang said angrily.
“Don’t say it so harshly.”
Liu Yifei felt funny when she thought about it.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Zhou took several sisters from Shanxia School to have a hot pot dinner.
After drinking and eating, he shamelessly said that it was the late New Year's Eve dinner at Yamashita School, and the Governor of Jiangdong would pay for it, so he confidently had a king's meal.
At that time, the manager of the Wangfujing branch was confused and made a special call to ask the boss for instructions. He was photographed by passers-by that night and became a hot search topic.
I’ve been eating hot pot a lot these days. First, there was the closing banquet for the crew of "Operation Mekong", and then there was a private gathering with the three brothers Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong.
What kind of hot pot has a beautiful woman holding the fragrance?
Zhou Yutang felt a little resistant and was too lazy to move. He pretended to be asleep and refused to get up.
Liu Yifei shouted several times to no avail, so she had no choice but to use her ultimate move.
He kissed her gently on the cheek, his warm breath sprayed on his cheek, his plump and beautiful legs were slightly bent, and he held Zhou Yutang's arm, letting him fall into the soft and dreamy spring light.
The most important thing is Miss Liu's soft and heart-warming voice: "Xiao Zhou, get up, you're the best. I want to eat hot pot too, please, please."
< br>It was very beneficial to the body, but Zhou Yutang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that a hero is sad to be a beauty.
In this world, there is probably no man who can resist Tianxian's silky-smooth combos.
Even Wan Niu Momo's Governor Zhou could not control himself.
Wangfujing, meet hot pot.
There was laughter and joy in a certain VIP box.
Mr. Zhou was talking and laughing with Li Gengxi, Zhuang Dafei and a few girls.
This group of young girls, who are either born in 1995 or 2000, mingle with the shareholders and honorary acting professors of Yamashita Academy.
"Sister Zhou Xun, will Governor Zhou really come tonight?"
Zhuang Dafei suddenly asked, and the other little girls also turned their eyes in anticipation.
"That's for sure. Who will pay the bill if he doesn't come?"
As soon as Mr. Zhou finished speaking, the box door opened by itself, and the manager in uniform led the people in.
The box, which was still a little noisy at first, seemed to have turned on a silencer. It suddenly became quiet. The eyes of Li Gengxi, Zhuang Dafei and several girls were attracted by Zhou Yutang like a magnet.
He was wearing a classic black Armani coat and a black turtleneck sweater. He had no makeup as always. His handsome face seemed to be glowing at night, and the whole box was brightened.
Whether handsome or not is handsome has always been a relatively subjective feeling, but at this time, it was unified in Zhou Yutang without any controversy.
As soon as he glanced into the box, the hearts of the little girls couldn't help but beat faster. They were all very reserved and ladylike.
"Boss Zhou, why are you here?"
But Young Master Zhou patted the seat next to him carelessly and called eagerly: "Sissi, come sit here with me."
Only then did everyone notice Liu Yifei next to Zhou Yutang. They were stunned for a moment, and then their faces gradually became weird.
Beret + scarf + black down jacket + gray skirt, with a cute lamb wool bag on the shoulder.
This outfit is not coordinated by any means, but it can be managed by that enviable face.
"The popular female star eats the King's meal, is she talking about you, right?"
Zhou Yutang took off his coat, and Liu Yifei also followed suit and hung the down jacket together in the box. on a hanger.
Li Gengxi pulled Zhuang Dafei's hand next to him under the table. The two girlfriends were immersed in whispers and secretly laughing. They were at the scene at that time.
How could a high-ranking celebrity like Mr. Zhou not be able to afford a hot pot meal?
It’s just a small joke because I’m familiar with the Governor.
“Boss Zhou, when did your catering business become so big?”
But Mr. Zhou asked with great interest: “Many people come here to check in, if it weren’t for borrowing For Sissi’s black card, I had to wait in line for most of the day.”
"It's really super popular."
Little girls Li Gengxi and Zhuang Dafei agreed one after another. It seems that they often come here to spend money.
These days, many idol idols debut in South Korea and then return to China to develop. This is the case for the four returning members, all of whom are top-notch.
But it is unique that a hotpot restaurant like Yumei has exploded from South Korea to China.
Especially after the media discovered that the boss behind it was the Governor of Jiangdong, it got out of hand and a trend instantly formed.
When Zhou Yutang just wanted to make money in South Korea, he ate hot pot and chatted to comfort his stomach. After opening the store, he became a hands-off shopkeeper.
There are not many branches opened by Yumei. There are only five in South Korea. Last year, Neon opened a new one, including more than a dozen branches in first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen. The total number will not exceed two. Fifteen.
The manager Zhou Yutang recruited from Haidilao through a headhunting company deserves the greatest credit.
This person has a vivid mind and clear operational ideas. He is deeply involved in first-tier cities. His positioning and order price are relatively high. However, due to the quality control of the ingredients, considerate service, and the current trend, he has a high level of quality and possesses the qualifications. Certain social attributes.
Even many celebrities in the industry came to support, and young people even came to have dinner and check in.
Li Gengxi and Zhuang Dafei were taking photos of their besties, while Liu Yifei was chatting with Mr. Zhou, "Sister Zhou Xun, is "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" really finalized?"
"The contract is signed, how many more days will it take?" God, there should be an official announcement."
A smile broke out on Zhou Xun's face, and he raised his wine glass proudly: "Come on, Boss Zhou, I'll give you a toast!"
Zhou Yutang brought it! When Liu Yifei arrived, Zhuang Dafei and the others were a little cautious, and from time to time they pretended to sneak glances as if nothing had happened.
They are destined to enter the entertainment industry, and they can't help but yearn for top female stars like Liu Tianxian.
But for the internal entertainment god Kajiang Dong Dadudu, it was just like ordinary people meeting an idol, that is pure worship, and occasionally they would flatter and please them without even realizing it.
Li Gengxi is more relaxed and lively. She has a relationship with Xu Jinglei. She has been in the governor's play since she was a child. When she saw Zhou Yutang wanted to take Liu Yifei out of the banquet, she quickly said,
"Boss , can I take a photo with you?”
“No problem.”
I realized that the eyes of several young girls, including Zhuang Dafei, were slightly envious, and Zhou Yutang took good care of them. Emotion, said with a warm smile:
"Let's all come together."
On a cold winter night, friends get together and eat hot pot until their stomachs are warm and their hearts are soothed. The atmosphere is indescribably warm and pleasant.
After drinking some wine in the evening, the driver drove very steadily. Liu Tianxian leaned on Zhou Yutang's shoulder in the back seat.
Recently, Miss Liu has become obsessed with Douyin. When she saw an UP owner deliberately editing classic film and television scenes of herself and various female stars together, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud and shared it with Zhou Yutang. ,
"Xiao Zhou, look at this."
"." Tianxian had a refreshing fragrance on her body. Zhou Yutang put his arm around her slender waist and leaned over to watch her scroll through Douyin.
The power of big data is too scary. I just talked about "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" during dinner, and I immediately pushed relevant film and television information.
“Tsk, it seems that Lao Cao and Lao Jia are really going all-in.”
“It is reported that the sequel to "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and the Qing palace drama "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" adapted from the novel of the same name , is about to be launched, and will be created by Xinli Media. It is confirmed that the three-gold movie queen Zhou Xun will star, and the network broadcast rights will be bought by LeTV for a high price of 9 million per episode. ”
This piece of news shook the entire Chinese film and television industry.
The three-time Best Actress has come down to earth to play the role of Zhen Huan's daughter-in-law and Qianlong's empress Uranala. This is also Zhou Xun's first Qing palace drama, so naturally it has attracted much attention.
Everyone in the industry can't sit still. "Qing Yu Nian 3", which has just become a hit, is the current sales record holder in the TV drama industry.
It is rumored that "The Lonely and Brilliant God" was sold at a sky-high price at the Beijing TV Drama Fair a few days ago. I originally thought that the Governor was already invincible, but I didn't expect that there were still masters?
“Dear, this copyright is not in your hands?”
Even Liu Shishi, who had just been beheaded by Governor Zhou, didn't sit still and called specifically to inquire.
“Not really.”
Zhou Yutang smiled.
“Oh, that’s such a pity.”
Liu Shishi sighed sadly: “Sister K was interested in this project last year, but it’s a pity that we didn’t negotiate it.”
< br>
"Lao Cai is so picky and picky about her work, how can anyone appreciate her three melons and two dates."
Zhou Yutang chuckled.
When he was just starting out, it was quite difficult for him to operate "The Legend of Zhen Huan" independently, so he specifically approached Zheng Xiaolong to collaborate on the development.
Cai Yinong is probably drooling with envy at the astonishing profits brought by "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
I asked about the price of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" but was scared away.
After the follow-up TV series of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was aired, it became a phenomenal hit, allowing Zeng Li to prove to the Queen in Tsing Yi. The original author Liu Lianzi also reaped the dividends, and her net worth was hundreds of times higher. The subsequent copyright of her novels naturally increased, and she was immediately The giants in the film and television industry are eyeing him.
This "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is the sequel to "The Legend of Zhen Huan" that Liu Lianzi spent five years painstakingly polishing.
Now the novel and script copyrights have been acquired by Xinli Media at a huge investment, preparing to boost Xinli's blockbuster project of going public.
"Is it true that a single episode sold for more than 9 million?"
"How is that possible."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.
Cao Huayi had previously mentioned that this project cooperation would be used to exchange the share of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" or "Snow".
Zhou Yutang did not agree.
Lao Cao turned around and made a plan, focusing on "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace". He put a lot of effort into this, and the rumors that were released first were both true and false.
It’s true that Mr. Zhou will appear in the role, but with her status, no matter how great she is, she can’t be greater than Governor Zhou.
Besides, the filming of this TV series has not started yet, how can it be sold at this price?
It’s just a gimmick to create some hype.
This is also one of the common routines in the film and television industry.
""Mermaid" continues to lead the Spring Festival season, and its single-day box office dropped to 20 million!"
""The Movie 3" has a box office of over 1 billion, temporarily ranking first During the Spring Festival, Wang Jing becomes a billionaire box office director, and Hua Zai gathers to celebrate! ”
"The total box office of "Journey to the West: The Monkey King and the White Bone Demon" soared to 1.125 billion, ranking second on the Spring Festival list!"
"Directed by Yuan Heping, kung fu superstars Donnie Yen and Yang Ziqiong co-starred in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2 Qingming" "The Sword" has a total box office revenue of 157 million! "
The smoke has cleared during the Spring Festival. In addition to "The Mermaid" being a standout in the Spring Festival, this sequel to the classic martial arts movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has also attracted a lot of attention. .
After all, the previous film was a blockbuster at the Oscars, allowing director Li An to soar.
After the sequel was taken over by Weinstein Pictures, it built a lot of momentum and the top Hollywood teams worked hard to create it, but the box office results were not satisfactory.
Zhou Yutang didn't watch the movie.
Even if he had to manage his time, there was no way he would go to the cinema to torture himself.
You can get a rough idea by looking at the complaints made by the film and television up owners on site B.
The tone is too high, and it will inevitably be disappointing to continue the work fifteen years late.
When the project was first proposed, Weinstein wanted to ask director Li An to take charge of the project, but Li An had no schedule, so he asked Yuan Baye to take over, and also specially hired a Hollywood screenwriter to create the script.
Can America’s screenwriter understand Chinese martial arts culture?
If the producers had enough confidence in the movie, they would have put "Mermaid" in the Spring Festival slot to compete with it. Why would they have to adjust the schedule? They would even be afraid of those romance movies in the Lovers slot. " Except for Yang Ziqiong, there is no way you can associate it with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”
Xichangchanghua sat in charge of the third Beijing Film and Television Arts Examination, and by the end of the month, the list of the three Northern Telecom Examinations will be announced. .
Popular Beijing celebrities Guan Xiaotong, fish girl Zhou Ye, SNH48 members Zhao Jiamin, Xiao Guoxiang and Zhang Xueying are among the list.
Zhou Yutang took the time to visit China Film Group.
Compared with the past when Han Sanping was in office, there have been fewer visits in recent years, and there is a sense that things are different and people are different.
One emperor and one courtier.
Zuoshan Diao’s secretary Xiao Zheng, whom we had a close relationship with in the past, is no longer in this position.
Han Sanping had made proper arrangements a long time ago, and now he has reached a higher level. During the New Year, he even sent a New Year greeting WeChat message to Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang was not very familiar with Pei Kang's secretary now. In response to his excessive enthusiasm, he just nodded and smiled politely, which was considered a greeting.
Sitting in his seat, he is surrounded by people who say good things, and his ears are almost full of cocoons, so why is there one more person like him?
La Pei Kang had another meeting, and Zhou Yutang was in the chairman's office, sitting on the sofa, taking over the film schedule prepared by the secretary in advance, and looking through it since ancient times.
After a while, voices sounded outside the door. The moment Pei Kang pushed the door open and walked in, his originally gloomy face was instantly filled with an friendly smile.
"Yu Tang, I'm sorry, I have a meeting and I kept you waiting for a long time."
"La Dong, I've only been here for a while."
"Come and try my Anxi delicacies Tie Guanyin. "
Without Pei Kang's action, the secretary poured tea for the leader very skillfully and skillfully.
“How is the schedule?”
""Bu Er Love Letter" will be released on May 1st, "Xiu Chun Dao 2" will be released in the summer, and "Operation Mekong" will be released on the National Day depending on the situation."
Zhou Yutang glanced at the film schedule and felt that it was almost done Have a plan.
The two previous films, "Beijing Meets Seattle" and "The Spring Knife", were very successful at the box office, and the box office potential of the sequels is worth looking forward to.
As for "Operation Mekong", Vision Media is in post-production. Part of the special effects plan for this commercial blockbuster with the main theme has been released. If the post-production can be completed within half a year, it will definitely be placed on a popular schedule.
Lao Mouzi's "Big Buddha" and Cao Baoping's "The Murderer" both belong to the category of art films. Their commercial attributes are not obvious, and their box office expectations are not high.
"Director Zhang and Director Cao's two new films were submitted to the film festival, right?" Pei Kang pressed his lips to the edge of the antique tea cup.
"Well, Director Ren called to talk about this a few days ago."
Zhou Yutang glanced at Pei Kang lightly, then squinted his eyes and said calmly: "Old Ren That’s right, things are always done in such a hurry.”
“What do you say about “The Meg”?”
“It will be launched next month.”
"."
There was no reminiscing about old times, they were talking about business matters. The secretary outside came in and leaned beside La Pei Kang and said something. The head of China Film Group nodded slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and smiled broadly. :
“Yu Tang, it’s rare for me to come here. Why don’t we have a meal together in the canteen at noon?”
“La Dong.”
Zhou Yutang stood up and said: “ The company still has some things waiting for me to go back to deal with, so I won’t bother you.”
After Pei Kang was sent outside, Zhou Yutang discovered that Wu Baige and his assistant were sitting in the waiting area.
Wu Baige, who was originally chatting and laughing with a certain China Film executive, saw Zhou Yutang, the smile on his face suddenly faded, and his expression became a bit stiff.
Looking at the subtle movements of his body, it seemed that he wanted to stand up and say hello, but he couldn't open his mouth and was embarrassed.
After Zhou Yutang said goodbye to Pei Kang, he strode out grandly.
We are not traveling together, so there is no need to say hello.
On the other hand, Ni Ni, who was following him, looked back and whispered: "Wu Baige is here to follow "The Hunt", right? I heard that Shun Oguri was also invited?"
"Haha."
Zhou Yutang chuckled.
“Boss, what are you laughing at?”
With the tacit understanding cultivated over the years, Ni Ni was vaguely able to figure out Zhou Yutang’s thoughts, and the flat-headed iron tower-like bodyguard took the lead for him. Open the rear door of the Maybach S600 armored car.
Zhou Yutang sat in, leaning back in a relaxed posture, with his legs naturally crossed: "Do you know Ren Zhonglun's recent actions?"
"You mean"
People came out of China Film Group, The person who asked the question was the boss of Shanghai Film Studio. Ni Ni's heart moved slightly and she suddenly felt enlightened.
Wu Baige’s boss didn’t even pay attention to any big transnational projects he did.
What he cares about should be the game under the water between the two giants, Shanghai Film and Television Film and China Film and Television.
Ren Zhonglun took the lead and teamed up with several other big guys to launch another attack at the meeting, hoping to take control of the Shanghai International Film Festival's transactions.
"Pei Kang is quite calm, and he seems to be a little immovable."
Zhou Yutang glanced sideways at the China Film and Television Building outside the car window, which was getting further away. , passing through many fleeting thoughts, murmured:
"It is not a simple person to be able to sit in this position."
