Zhou Xingchi's works have always been unique, and it is even polite to say that his funny style is unique in the country, and it is said that there is no first, but Zhou Xingchi's talent in comedy movies is enough to make him the title of "King of Comedy" recognized by everyone.

This also makes Zhou Xingchi have an incomparably unique position in China, standing at the peak of the actor's position, and is the object of envy of any actor, it can be said that he has reached the limit of a Chinese actor, and if he wants to go further, at least in today's environment, it is absolutely impossible.

Only by rushing out of Asia, going to the world, and becoming the world's pinnacle of actors can surpass the present, it's a pity that Zhou Xingchi's comedy film style has not won the recognition of the West, otherwise Chu Shi believes that Zhou Xingchi will become the world's pinnacle of existence, no one can match.

It can be said that Zhou Xingchi's lofty status is based on the identity of 'actor', although in the past two years, Zhou Xingchi has gradually changed his career to become a director, and his directing level is also quite outstanding, but every work has Zhou Xingchi himself starring, which is all a great success, if he is simply a director, not an actor, no one dares to guarantee what the results will be.

Of course, this just doesn't mean that it is not clear whether Zhou Xingchi's new work "Journey to the West" can win the annual box office championship, even if he does not appear in himself, it is easy and happy to win the top ten rankings of the year.

However, it is gratifying that Zhou Xingchi's new film "Journey to the West" is a special effects blockbuster as always.

In fact, when it comes to special effects, Zhou Xingchi is definitely the number one in China, and he may not be able to compare with American special effects blockbusters. But the use of special effects in Zhou Xingchi's film works such as "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu", and "Yangtze River No. 7" is enough to reflect Zhou Xingchi's skills and abilities when mastering such works.

is full of Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy style. And as always, it is a special effects blockbuster, and follows the classic dialogue of the new work "Heart Has a Demon Chapter". It is still one of the most anticipated film works in the entire Chinese people, and it is foreseeable that in the Chinese New Year at the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014, "Journey to the West" will turn into a bombshell and detonate the Chinese film market.

Even among the many veteran directors, Zhou Xingchi is definitely one of the more outstanding, but he has not formed a crushing situation. It can only be considered a tie.

But now, Zhou Xingchi's new work was suddenly exposed, and the news that the actor is Chu Shi has moved countless people, and a strong sense of powerlessness has emerged in the hearts of many top directors.

First of all, Chu Shisheng is in terms of popularity! Although Chu Shi's current status is only comparable to that of top TV drama actors and ordinary actors, Chu Shi's popularity is extraordinary, and it is definitely comparable to any top actor.

Coupled with the extraordinary popularity of Zhou Xingchi himself at the level of 'peak actor', I am afraid that no film work has such a strong box office appeal.

Add two by two. Unless it is one other peak actor and a top actor together, they can compete with it, but such a situation is really rare, and the top actors are all the biggest names in Huaxia. Even if it can't be compared with the peak actor, he also has his own pride, and he rarely lowers his own value and is willing to be a green leaf.

But Chu Shi is different! Although the popularity is high. But Chu Shi itself is an out-and-out newcomer in the film industry, and there is only such a small-budget youth-themed movie as "Those Years". Cooperating with Zhou Xingchi is not a self-depreciation, and Zhou Xingchi's identity in the movie "Journey to the West" is a director. It did not infringe on the interests of Chu Shi.

That's what other movies are doing more and more anyway! First, except for Chu Shi, the others are quite old veteran actors, and secondly, except for Zhou Xingchi, no one will give up their lofty status as an actor and choose to change careers and become directors, which has created the extraordinary popularity of the movie "Journey to the West".

At the same time, what people are afraid of is the huge investment in the movie "Journey to the West", which is indeed not comparable to Hollywood blockbusters, and even compared with the huge investment in several American dramas produced by Dimension Entertainment Company, but in the Chinese film market, it is a very rare large-investment work.

After that, it's the script!

According to the news revealed by Zhou Xingchi in an interview, the movie "Journey to the West" itself is a high-quality script created by Zhou Xingchi for several years and invited countless big-name screenwriters, and now after confirming the cooperation with Chu Shi, it has been improved for the second time, in terms of the quality of the script, it is definitely not inferior to any work, and it can be called the best of the year - in today's Huaxia, no one will dare to question Chu Shi's screenwriting ability, even if Chu Shi revises the movie script for the first time, but film and television are not separated, Chu Shi is strong in TV drama screenwriting, and he is naturally not too bad in movies.

And then there's the publicity!

It is true that the strength of Zhou Xingchi's own entertainment company is not strong, but it can't stand the extraordinary strength of Chu Shi's entertainment company! Although he has not set foot in the film industry, he has the title of "China's No. 1 TV Drama Production Company", and many big-name star artists under his command have also been of great help to film promotion.

Fan Bingling, Tang Yanran, Liu Yushi, Deng Chao, Sun Li and others have a meager personal experience every once in a while, promoting the movie "Journey to the West", and when attending various activities, they often mention this movie, which is just publicity in the ordinary sense.

And after that, among the fifteen TV series produced by Dimension Entertainment Company, the name of the movie "Journey to the West" was basically mentioned in the play, either explicitly or implicitly, for example, there is an episode in the TV series "You from the Stars", Liu Yushi pestered Chu Shi, wanting to watch a movie with Chu Shi and spend a romantic time together, and the name of the movie is "Journey to the West".

Chu Shi's publicity for the movie "Journey to the West" is enough to be described with the words 'heartbroken', and this kind of method and method, in the whole of China, I am afraid that only Chu Shi can do it, even if it is changed to the other four peak entertainment giants, it is impossible to blindly praise a certain work. No matter how optimistic you are, it's impossible.

Of course. It is impossible for Chu Shi to spend resources for no reason, in fact, the movie "Journey to the West" itself. Chu Shi occupies 40% of the shares, and Chu Shi did not spend too much money on these forty percent shares, most of them were converted by virtue of the income from script revision, remuneration shares, and contract publicity.

Naturally, when it came to publicity, a lot of effort was put into it.

Combining all the advantages, after people are clear about the details of the movie "Journey to the West", they are also aware of the gap between themselves and this movie, except for Feng Daran and a very small number of top directors in China, I am afraid that few people have the courage to compete with the movie "Journey to the West".

Even Feng Daran and others. Even if he has a fighting spirit, he thinks that his winning rate is too small and too small.

Not surprisingly, the movie "Journey to the West" will be a well-deserved overlord in the film industry this year!

But what followed was an important issue that neither of the two Chu worlds could be underestimated!

One of them is the vigilance and jealousy of the four peak entertainment giants of Aurora Entertainment, Hurricane Entertainment, Tang Dynasty Entertainment, and Friendship Entertainment against Chu Shi!

Chu Shi himself changed from a TV drama actor to a movie actor, and at the same time, in the movie "Journey to the West", Chu Shi also served as a screenwriter and second investor after the actor. has a posture of entering the film industry anytime and anywhere, which also makes the rest of the top entertainment giants extremely jealous.

Although Chu Shi did not create his own film company, Chu Shi's offensive of using Dimensional Entertainment Company to promote the movie has made the four peak entertainment giants jealous. Chu Shi can rely on its characteristics of 'saying one thing and not saying the other' to successfully achieve the perfect complementarity of movies and TV series, if it continues. In the future, Chu Shi will definitely surpass the four peak entertainment giants and become a unique supreme figure in the Chinese entertainment industry. No one else can do it.

If Chu Shi comes to this point, then the four peak entertainment giants will completely go to the opposite side of Chu Shi. Unless Chu Shi gives up such an idea, he will be sniped by the four peak entertainment giants and a large number of entertainment companies!

Of course, if they could, the four peak entertainment giants did not want to fight against Chu Shi, after all, this would also have some impact on their development, and it was precisely because of this idea that the four peak entertainment giants sent professionals to communicate with Chu Shi.

It's just that the results of the communication made the four peak giants puzzled.

Nami Miyazaki, Liu Hong and other senior managers of Dimensional Entertainment Company replied very firmly, and they were not clear about Chu Shi's plans and ideas.

After asking Chu Shi, he found that Chu Shi had no idea of competing with the four peak entertainment giants, and even the possible struggle did not have even the slightest preparatory activities, so it seems that Chu Shi does not plan to enter the film industry, but in fact, on specific questions, Chu Shi did not give a clear answer, did not admit or deny, which made the four peak entertainment giants puzzled.

In the end, in desperation, he could only temporarily let go of the idea of suppressing Chu Shi, and instead turned into continuing to observe, if Chu Shi intended to enter the film industry, it would not be too late to snipe again!

If Chu Shi didn't have this plan, but just wanted to make a small profit and promote the development of his own personal entertainment career, the four peak entertainment giants would also be willing to sell Chu Shi a good 2 and support him a little.

With the joint support of the five peak entertainment giants in Huaxia, Chu Shi can no longer succeed, which is really a bit unspeakable.

As a result, this aspect of the problem has dragged on.

On the other hand, there is the problem of cinemas!

There are many Huaxia cinemas, and theoretically speaking, it is difficult to form a monopoly situation, but the fact is that Huaxia really has a store that is extremely powerful and completely crushes any other cinema - Wanda Cinema!

In the past, Wanda Cinema Line was even enough to be described by the word 'one big one', because of its high-end, large-scale, and large number, almost in any first- and second-tier city There are several theaters, and most of the large-scale Zuò movies will cooperate with it.

Although in the past two years, the market share occupied by Wanda Cinema Line has gradually decreased, this does not mean the decline of Wanda Cinema Line, and the reason for this is because the market is getting bigger and bigger. More and more people are joining the bandwagon.

Although until 2013, the market share occupied by Wanda Cinemas was only more than 30%. But their income is growing day by day, and compared to the huge cinema chain in second place. The market and scale occupied by it are twice as strong!

This can be seen from the market value of more than 80 billion yuan of Wanda Cinema Line, which is too huge!

In Chu Shi's eyes, the class of the entertainment industry is very clear, and celebrities stand at the lowest level, but because they rely on the support of fans, as long as they have popularity, they can also develop without worry.

And on top of the star artist. It is the major entertainment companies, just like the dimensional entertainment company, in the second echelon, it seems that it has reached the peak level, ranking one of the five peak entertainment giants in China.

And the top is the TV station and the theater chain, after all, only by mastering the channel can you be qualified to become a well-deserved overlord in the entertainment industry, just like Wanda Cinema. As long as they want to support any entertainment company, they can pick it up as quickly as possible.

Even according to Chu Shi's understanding, the largest shareholder of Hurricane Entertainment Company, the first film production company in China, is Chairman Gongsun, the chairman of Wanda Cinema Line!

This can also be seen from this. How important it is to master a cinema chain.

And Zhou Xingchi himself, although he has a cinema chain with a market value of billions in his hands. In terms of scale, it is far from being comparable to Wanda Cinemas. For a long time, Zhou Xingchi's movies have also been screened in his own theaters. But if you want to make money, you have to rely on Wanda Cinemas, although the cooperation between the two sides has not been intimate, and there is no deep friendship, it can be regarded as an old partner.

Naturally, as soon as the specific news of the movie "Journey to the West" was announced, Wanda Cinema Line sent a middle-level manager to negotiate the screening of the movie "Journey to the West" - under normal circumstances, they should have sent an executive-level figure to discuss, but this time, I have to say, it was a big oversight.

On the one hand, it is because of the previous cooperation, and on the other hand, it is also because they have 'eaten' Zhou Xingchi!

As a 'big investment movie' with an investment of at least 200 million Chinese coins, if you want to recover your costs and make a small profit, you must have enough screens to support it, so they also decided that Zhou Xingchi must only choose Wanda Cinemas, and because of this, it seems a little sluggish.

However, this time, Wanda Cinema Line has hit a wall for the first time!

Due to the face of the chairman of Wanda Cinema Line, 'Gongsun Heng', Zhou Xingchi did not receive it in person, but pushed a qiē to Chu Shi, in Zhou Xingchi's words, this aspect of the work is handled by Chu Shi, which is a clause that has been determined at the beginning of the cooperation between the two.

Of course, whether this is the case or not, only Chu Shi and Zhou Xingchi know, and Wanda Cinema did not suspect it at the beginning, and directly found Chu Shi.

This time, the person in charge of Wanda Cinema Line is not so polite, although Chu Shi has the lofty identity of 'one of the five peak entertainment giants in China, chairman of Dimension Entertainment Company', but in the eyes of the staff of Wanda Cinema, it has nothing to do with them!

It's not that I didn't consider Chu Shi's entry into the film industry, but you must know that Hurricane Entertainment Company is the industry in the hands of Gongsun Heng, and when he contacted Chu Shi a few days ago, he even had a faint 'warning taste', and it was Gongsun Heng's instructions to prevent Chu Shi from entering the film industry.

It also shows that either Chu Shi is the enemy of Gongsun Heng, the chairman of Wanda Cinema Line, or it is a passerby who has nothing to do with them!

It is precisely because of the existence of Hurricane Entertainment Company that Wanda Cinema Line has a unique operation method - the best theater and the most screens are obviously the film works of Hurricane Entertainment Company, and when facing other large and top entertainment companies, it is a little harsh, but in addition, when facing some film industry bigwigs, such as Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Long, Feng Daran and others, they are very respectful, because they also know that most of the works with the highest box office every year are born from them. If you want to earn more wealth, you mainly rely on strength, but in the same way, being able to have a good relationship with these bigwigs in the film industry is also a very helpful thing for them.

Naturally, he was very respectful when dealing with Zhou Xingchi, but when facing Chu Shi, he seemed a little loose and arrogant.

But he was sure that Chu Shi would inevitably choose Wanda Cinema as the release platform for the movie "Journey to the West", on the one hand, for money, and on the other hand, for the development of Chu Shi's personal entertainment career.

Chu Shi's identity as the chairman of the company in the 'middle ladder' has nothing to do with them, they only contact Chu Shi who is an actor in the 'downstream ladder', and Wanda Cinema, as the well-deserved overlord in the 'upstream ladder', they also believe that Chu Shi does not dare to provoke them.

Otherwise, directly blocking Chu Shi in the film industry is just a matter of minutes, who will let them control the channel resources of the theater?

What the? Said that Chu Shi was angry, didn't play movies, and continued to play TV series? That's great! Even if Chu Shitian is a genius and does not enter the film industry, his achievements in this life are like that, and throughout his life, in China, he will not be able to reach the level of Zhou Xingchi and Cheng Long, even if he has reached the peak limit level in the TV drama industry, in the film industry, he is only on a par with top actors.

In other words, when he contacted Chu Shi, the person in charge of Wanda Cinema Line didn't take it too seriously, but what he never expected was ...... (To be continued......)
