Chapter 731: God bleeds, and the night is full of love
Several of the main creators on the stage were interacting with the audience. In fact, they only asked a few questions.
"What's your impression of China?"
"What do you like to eat when you come to China?"
“This is an impressive country, everyone is very welcoming and friendly.”
Ben Affleck tries to enter the correct password: "We ate last night."
"It's hot pot, meet hot pot." Superman Cavill next to him added.
"Yeah, I love this."
The several main creators were very considerate and laughed together, trying to close the distance between them and the fans of Tianchao Movie.
Before coming to China, Hollywood's professional team will prepare the background in advance.
When you come here for promotion, you always have to please the local audience and know what the local audience likes.
However, it was true that several people met and had hot pot together last night. The scene showed the boss Zhou Yutang sitting in the audience, and he was coaxing Miss Liu.
"I used a lot of cosmic power to make the battle between Batman and Superman happen. This is not only a superhero movie, but also has some special and deeper cores waiting for everyone to discover. Now my The dream has come true, I hope you all like it.”
Zack Snyder smiled with longing, and the main creator revealed the behind-the-scenes scenes of filming the movie, and there was also a movie viewing session at the scene.
Zhou Yutang is also very interested in this blockbuster work of the DC universe.
Outside the theater, in the alley.
The poor Waynes died again at the beginning, the broken pearl necklace, and the panic of young Bruce
The design of the picture and the use of the lens are really outstanding.
The director's skills as a director are still there, but for a two-and-a-half-hour movie, the narrative is too lengthy.
For "Joker", Zhou Yutang read through DC superhero comics and was able to get the various details that were put into it.
There are actually many tributes to previous DC comic works in this movie, and many viewers at the scene expressed their understanding.
But it’s not very friendly to passers-by who don’t know much about the DC universe.
For example, Miss Liu next to me would come over from time to time and ask a few questions.
"Doyoubleed? Youwill."
Looking up and watching Superman fly away, Batman's determination to kill gods appeared on his stern face.
He saw a god who towered over all living beings and was indifferent to what was happening on earth.
Does God bleed?
It will.
The villain Luthor uses Superman's mother Martha to crush Superman's spirit and make Superman fall into a state of irritation and anger, which serves as the trigger for the war between Superman and Batman.
Then came the Battle of the Century between Batman and Superman, followed by Superman's battle with Wonder Woman and Doomsday.
Until the end of watching the movie and driving home, Miss Liu was still discussing with great interest: "Xiao Zhou, I feel that Martha's plot is a bit abrupt."
"Batman's mother was named Martha Wayne, and Superman's adoptive mother was also named the same. So when Superman asked Batman to save Martha at a critical moment, he thought of his mother and touched the softest place in his heart."
The driver drove very steadily. Zhou Yutang explained to Miss Liu and instinctively put his hand on her fair and plump thigh.
"Isn't the previous fight in vain?"
Liu Yifei slapped away the mischievous hand and asked suddenly.
"."
Zhou Yutang didn't know what to say and could only continue to touch his legs.
Director Zha had laid the groundwork before the movie, but with just one sentence, Martha became an ally, and the plot twist was still a bit abrupt.
From a God's perspective, compared to Marvel's popcorn movies that you can watch without thinking, the style of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is more dark and depressing, and the box office performance may not be as expected.
At least for Chinese audiences, the acceptance may not be too high.
"Captain Zhou attended the first stop of the Asia tour of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", Batman v Superman, full of passion!"
""Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" officially launched in theaters across the country, with a box office of 120 million on the first day and a box office of 372 million in the first week!"
In fact, just as Zhou Yutang expected, "Justice League" struggled slightly after it appeared on the big screen.
This is not only the case in the Chinese film market, but also in North America where it was released simultaneously. It was released in more than 4,000 theaters, with a box office of US$81.86 million on the first day, and a box office of only US$166 million on the first weekend.
While Zhou Yutang was still on the flight to Xiangjiang, he received a call from Zou Zhongyan, "Boss, Warner called again and wants to talk about the follow-up superhero series of movies in the DC Universe."
"So urgent?"
"This box office result looks pretty good, but it's actually a lot worse than Warner's expectations." Zou Zhongyan laughed.
It's Superman + Batman after all.
This is considered to be the most popular combo in the DC universe - even their underwear was exposed. However, it only ranked 18th in the first weekend box office list in North American film history.
There is no overwhelming momentum to sweep the world.
And the most important thing is that the first wave of audiences' reputation after the movie was released was seriously polarized, which will inevitably have a negative impact on subsequent box office trends.
Zou Zhongyan has been paying attention to this movie, according to her.
According to current estimates made by data agencies, it may be difficult for the global box office to exceed US$1 billion in the end.
Warner was very anxious, but Zhou Yutang was not anxious at all and still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
He had a lot of projects at hand, but he didn't say anything. He told Zou Zhongyan: "Let's talk about it first. By the way, Sister Zou, I will go to Xiangjiang immediately and visit Mr. Zou later."
"You are interested. I went back to Xiangjiang during the Chinese New Year, and you were the one that the old man talked about the most."
After chatting with Zou Zhongyan for a while, the plane landed and Zhou Yutang received news from Huo Wenxi that the car Yinghuang picked him up arrived.
Facing the tsunami-like screams and shouts from the mountains outside the airport.
Passing by countless long guns and short cannons passed from different directions.
Bodyguards who look like two iron towers are clearing the way in front. Zhou Yutang, dressed in a casual gray suit and sunglasses, is strolling leisurely in a dignified manner.
From time to time, he waved to the fans on both sides, and then got into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
I browsed the domestic film market in the car.
Throughout March, all Chinese domestic films were wiped out.
Xu Haofeng's "Arrowman Willow White Monkey" did not even finish its release period, and the final total box office was just over 8 million.
Zhao Liying, who was a big hit last year, starred in "The True Love Formula", which only had a box office of 32.91 million in its first week, and was outnumbered by Superman and Batman.
As for "Los Angeles Trouble", which Yang Zi teamed up with the best actor Xia Yu and brought in a little Nezha, it has only been released for three days, with a total box office of more than 3 million, and the film schedule has dropped to 3%.
What a miserable word!
"Zootopia" only took 16 days, and its total box office in China has exceeded 1 billion. It is currently grossing 1.3 billion. Disney has already opened the champagne.
"The Revenant" and "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" successively appeared on the stage, alternately stabilizing the crown, and had a huge impact on the box office of "Mermaid".
The latter's single-day box office fell below one million, and its total box office exceeded 3.2 billion, and its potential was almost exhausted.
The only one who can beat it, Master Yip, has been negatively affected by the box office stealing scandal. Although the box office has exceeded 700 million, the film schedule has been cut off, which is obviously unsustainable.
"Ah Tang, tomorrow is Yinghuang's movie tour. I wonder if you and Shi Shi are free?"
Boss Yang had mentioned this on the phone in advance, and Zhou Yutang nodded readily:
"Sister Mnai, you make the arrangements."
This time Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi arrived in Xiangjiang in advance to prepare for the upcoming Academy Awards.
Liu Shishi arrived a day early because she had a schedule to attend a brand event.
A smile instantly appeared on Huo Wenxi's pretty face: "You and Shi Shi have great hopes this time, and I wish you both will win the prize together."
"I hope I can lend you some good words."
While talking, Zhou Yutang received a message from Shanghai.
Oops, the Internet financial P2P platform owned by Mr. Shi’s company has a redemption crisis.
I really watched him build a tall building, watched him entertain guests and friends, and watched his building collapse.
…………
"Shi Shi, look here, look here!"
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
"Husband, ah ah ah!"
Liu Shishi wore a light blue couture dress from the latest season of es, paired with Kirin series jewelry, bringing the beauty and elegance of time.
No matter her manners or temperament, she is impeccable, as if she is a beauty stepping out of a classical painting.
Today is Qeelin’s offline event. As the brand’s global spokesperson, she naturally has to stand up for it.
I woke up early in the morning, put on makeup, put on high heels, and stood still all day long.
She was a little tired, but Liu Shishi was in a pretty good mood.
To be precise, she has been in a good mood recently.
No matter how busy Zhou Yutang is, he will always take time to accompany himself. This time, he put down his work and arrived in Xiangjiang two days in advance.
For Shi Shi, Zhou Yutang's birthday gift is certainly a surprise, but companionship is the love that trumps all.
After the event was over, I quickly changed my clothes and went to find Zhou Yutang immediately. After saying hello to Huo Wenxi, I asked Taozi to make arrangements for tomorrow's itinerary.
There were only two people left to get along, and Liu Shishi took the initiative to rub her soft body into his arms, like a sweet wind blowing into his dream.
Without much words, they just kissed each other in the car.
Liu Shishi's eyes were blurred, and his body gradually softened, melting away as if it were made of water.
Holding the jade body tenderly, Zhou Yutang smelled the charming fragrance on her beautiful neck and said:
"Let's go visit a senior together later."
"Who?"
Only then did Liu Shishi raise his head and straighten his messy hair.
"Zou Wenhuai."
"Would that disturb your conversation?"
This was somewhat beyond Liu Shishi's expectation. After a brief moment of happiness, he asked after careful consideration.
"No, just treat him as an ordinary old man."
"How is that possible?"
Liu Shishi found it funny and felt a little nervous. She secretly wondered if she should change into more formal clothes. Even though I didn’t personally experience the golden age of Hong Kong movies, I watched the discs when I was a kid.
The sound of "thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump."
Liu Shishi always feels a little dreamy every time he thinks of his man swallowing up the golden harvest and rising to the top.
Zhou Yutang took the initiative to hold her hand: "I'll probably have dinner at Zou's house tonight, but it won't be too late. Let's watch a movie together after it's over."
"Well, I listen to you."
Liu Shishi was used to the man beside her making decisions for her.
Every time Zhou Yutang forcefully led her to do something, she would always feel inexplicably warm and moved.
Holding the reassuring broad palm tightly with her slender hands, she leaned her head on Zhou Yutang's shoulder and listened to him instructing Ni Ni to pack snacks.
Cucumber sandwiches and sponge cakes at the Peninsula Hotel.
"Honey, do you like this?"
After he finished explaining the matter, Liu Shishi asked curiously.
"This is Zou Wenhuai's taste."
Zhou Yutang gently combed his soft hair with his fingers, and turned his head towards Liu Shishi with a bright and dazzling smile.
Zou family.
The face is covered with traces of time, and the wrinkles are as deep as ravines.
When he saw Zou Wenhuai, Zhou Yutang realized that the old man in front of him was 89 years old.
When Zou Wenhuai saw Zhou Yutang, standing up on crutches, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, revealing that he had gone through many vicissitudes of life and still had some of the majesty of the great film lords of the past.
Looking at the cucumber sandwiches and sponge cakes that Zhou Yutang specially bought at the Peninsula Hotel, Zou Wenhuai smiled so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. He turned to Liu Shishi and said with a smile: "This is Shi Shi, hello."
"Hello, Mr. Zou."
"Haha, sit wherever you want."
Zou Wenhuai was very easy-going and smiled, and he had a servant to greet the guests for him.
With his two long legs slanted together, Liu Shishi used the most elegant posture to sit down next to Zhou Yutang.
When she gets together with her friends, she basically talks about the gossips in the industry, including who else has been promoted, whose salary has been downgraded, which new person a certain company has signed and is ready to support, and who has cut off whose pie.
I only listened to Zou Wenhuai chatting with Zhou Yutang, but never talked about trivial matters. The Filipino maid poured the tea, and Zou Wenhuai squinted at Zhou Yutang eating snacks:
"I heard that the guy from "Ip Man 3" went to America?"
"Mr. Zou's information is really well-informed."
Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "The stage has collapsed, and the remaining liquidation is a matter of time."
People never grow old.
Even Boss Shi in Shanghai knows this.
However, Zou Wenhuai obviously didn't like this person very much, and he just felt it: "It's hard to reach the level of elegance because of heresy. When making movies, we should be more pure."
He made no attempt to hide his disdain.
A movie tycoon who is used to seeing ups and downs, what kind of situation has he never encountered?
These methods of stealing box office are also the remaining tricks of Xiangjiang, and they are not unusual.
When talking about the box office split between the two Hollywood movies last year and "La La Land" invested by Jiangdong International Pictures this year, the old man's face was red and he was very happy.
He took Zhou Yutang's arm and talked about his all-powerful years in Hollywood.
It wasn't until the Filipino maid came forward to remind him that he should take medicine that he stopped for a moment.
Zhou Yutang can probably understand his mood.
The original cooperation with Zou Zhongyan was just a springboard to enter the North American market.
Now with the resources he has at his disposal, he can still do it even if he leaves Zou Zhongyan aside.
Zou Wenhuai is an experienced person and knows her daughter's abilities. If she was truly the world's top producer as rumored to be, she would not have been on the verge of despair when Golden Harvest was handed over to her.
After all.
Zhou Yutang kept his promise and always reserved a certain profit share for Zou Zhongyan.
If he were a ruthless boss, he would probably kick Zou Zhongyan out directly.
Because although Zou Zhongyan's share of the profit is not comparable to Zhou Yutang's, if converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is still a staggering figure, enough to kill a lot of film and television companies in Hong Kong.
Zou Wenhuai looked at Zhou Yutang as if he saw the shadow of his past self.
A thousand pieces of gold and a promise, high spirits.
Listening to him talk about his projects in Hollywood, I feel slightly uplifted, but after all, I am old and my energy is a little low.
Zhou Yutang didn't interrupt too much. After finishing the meal, he took Liu Shishi to leave first.
"Did Mr. Zou specially prepare the Huaiyang dishes for you tonight?"
"You give me a peach and you give me a plum in return. Mr. Zou is a thoughtful man."
When following Zhou Yutang, Liu Shishi always feels a sense of admiration and admiration.
Celebrities make so much money, but their awareness may not be much higher than that of ordinary people.
She has a clear understanding of her ability positioning, and she can learn a lot from Zhou Yutang, both in life and in work.
"Let's go and watch a movie."
After eating and taking a walk for a while, Zhou Yutang received news from Ni Ni.
After Jiangdong acquired Jiahe, the theater business developed well, and Xiangjiang's local area is naturally owned by Jiahe Cinema.
The big boss has to arrange movie screenings in advance, and it's just a matter of one sentence.
However, the movie theater here in Hong Kong does not have private boxes like those in Beijing, so I still dressed up a little to show respect for the Hong Kong fans.
After walking into Jiangdong Jiahe Cinema, I entered the cinema in a low-key manner.
Probably no one would have thought that Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi, who had just been reported in the local news today, looked like an ordinary couple holding hands while watching a movie.
“I heard this movie is quite scary.”
Today, the two of them watched "Blood in Search of Plum Blossoms". This movie has been released in Hong Kong for some time, but it has not been released in the mainland because of its large scale.
As the biggest opponent at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, Guo Tianwang has indeed dedicated his peak acting skills.
The plum blossom who walks in blood is none other than the heroine Wang Jiamei.
Through the perspective of Guo Tianwang as Zang Sir, he investigates the death of Wang Jiamei in detail and finally restores the truth of the entire case.
A mainland girl, because of the pressure of life and emotional confusion she encountered in Xiangjiang, she embarked on the road of compensated dating, which eventually led to tragedy.
After watching the movie, I felt it was a bit bigger than I imagined.
The loneliness and struggle of the characters at the bottom gave people a feeling of extreme depression and despair, and some viewers even couldn't stand it and left the show halfway through.
After watching the movie, he heard Liu Shishi's stomach growling when he came out. Sensing Zhou Yutang's eyes, Liu Shishi blushed on his cheeks and said first, "You didn't eat enough at night? Your stomach is growling." ”
"Let's go have a late-night snack."
Zhou Yutang smiled. Liu Shishi was somewhat reserved when having dinner at Zou's house tonight.
Keep your back straight throughout the whole process, eat in small bites, and try your best to act like a lady.
He was hungry, but thinking of the movie just now, he seemed to have no appetite. Liu Shishi sighed: "I shouldn't have come to watch this movie. I should have watched "Dark Paradise" earlier."
"It's still early, let's watch one more show."
This film is directed by Lin Jiaxin's husband Yuan Jianwei and adapted from Zhuang Meiyan's award-winning original script "The Kiss". It is also the first collaboration between Lin Jiaxin and her husband Yuan Jianwei. It is also the second-largest film in this year's Hong Kong Film Awards second only to "In Search of Plum Blossoms". The popular film was just released in Hong Kong.
The movie is relatively niche, so there were fewer people at this show. When it came out, Liu Shishi seemed to feel less uncomfortable, and he enthusiastically analyzed the possibility of the two movies winning awards.
Went to an ordinary wonton shop on the streets of Xiangjiang in the middle of the night.
The steaming human fireworks were enough to soothe their stomachs. Liu Shishi watched with envy as Zhou Yutang unscrupulously added a spoonful of red chili oil.
The schedule for these two days is full, and it’s the Academy Awards soon, so I need to pay special attention to my diet.
Otherwise, swelling and acne on the day of the red carpet would be like the sky falling for a female star.
Only Zhou Yutang never cared about this. The key was that the condition of his skin was so good that even Liu Shishi, who paid great attention to skin care, felt jealous.
After finishing the midnight snack, the driver parked the car in the tightly secured Tianhui high-rise underground garage and left first.
Listening to Liu Shishi's sweet voice and laughter, under the light of the car, a heart-warming warmth rippled.
About half an hour later.
Move from the car to the bathroom.
Water jets sprayed out like dense rain.
Create gorgeous splashes of water on the non-slip floor tiles.
And the warm mist spread quickly, making the entire shower room look like a dense fairyland.
Through the frosted glass, a graceful figure can be vaguely seen.
Just pressed against the glass.
The sound of water falling from the nozzle gradually becomes gentle, as if falling into people's hearts.
The sobbing voice stopped after a long time.
When the bathroom door opened, Zhou Yutang gathered his bathrobe and walked out. Ten minutes later, fragrant shower gel and dense water vapor squeezed out from the crack in the door.
Liu Shishi held her wet hair with her slender hands and stepped out her fair thighs.
Zhou Yutang took out a bottle of champagne from the wine cabinet, poured two glasses, and handed them to the beauty wrapped in a bath towel.
"Ding~"
The wine glass makes a crisp and elegant sound when touched lightly.
The champagne liquid in the glass rippled gently with the night breeze.
The two of them were lying on the sofa hugging each other. From this angle, through the 180-degree complete landscape design and the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows, they could have a panoramic view of the night view of Victoria Harbor.
With such beautiful wine and beautiful scenery, everyone will get drunk even if the wine is not intoxicating.
