March 1st.

Capital Gymnasium.

Liu Ruoying is dressed in a minimalist style today, wearing only a white shirt with wide-legged pants, but she has the intellectuality and gentleness of a mature woman.

Fans of milk tea are also very supportive.

The excited singing gathered into a sea of cheers.

"Later, I finally learned how to love

It's a pity that you have long since disappeared into the sea of people

Later, I finally understood in tears that some people stop once they miss it"

Backstage of the concert.

Zhou Yutang hummed softly with a beat.

Across from him was a small, but good-looking man, who also sang aloud.

Let's be honest.

To meet this brother here, Zhou Yutang didn't expect it at all before he came.

Wang Baoqiao, Xu Sanduo

A man who relies on the image of film and television dramas to endorse CCTV recruitment advertisements.

Seeing such an iron-clad tough guy singing "Learn how to love later" at the milk tea concert, Zhou Yutang always felt that something was wrong.

After the milk tea song was sung, the audience under the stage cheered wildly.

"Wow! Awesome singing! ”

Wang Baoqiao in the background also applauded excitedly.

It can be seen that he is really trying to help.

Zhou Yutang laughed softly: "Brother Baoqiao, you sing well." ”

"Hehe, I'll just sing blindly, it's far worse than you."

Wang Baoqiao's smile is very distinctive, his eyes are narrowed into two slits, and there are folds at the corners of his eyes, and a mouthful of big white teeth are exposed.

You can feel the sincerity in his smile, and it's easy to feel close.

Zhou Yutang ended the promotion of the movie, and just got off the plane and rushed over to be Liu Ruoying's concert guest.

The guests are actually responsible for enlivening the atmosphere, and they are only a song thing, and Zhou Yutang chats with Wang Baoqiao backstage most of the time.

Both of them are insiders, and they still have something to talk about.

"At that time, when filming "Blind Shaft", I went down the mine with Li Yixiang, and before I went far, I heard the sound of a big stone loosening and falling on my head, such a big piece, not far from me, and the surrounding environment was still very dark, it was really terrible, and I almost lost my life."

"The filming also encountered a landslide, and the actresses in the crew saw that it was too dangerous and ran away."

Zhou Yutang is very interested in the movie "Blind Well", and Bao Qian also told the story of the past with emotion, with a very serious expression on his face.

"Yu Tang, you came to be a guest, how did you meet Sister Ruoying?"

"I'm being entrusted with it."

"Isn't it still being promoted in the movie? Yesterday I watched the news, and you were still in Chongqing. ”

"The publicity is over, I just returned to the capital, I just came to relax, I didn't expect to meet Brother Baoqiao, we are quite fateful."

"Don't call me brother, just call me Baoqi."

Zhou Yutang looked at Wang Baoqiao very pleasing to the eye, and Baoqiao was also happy.

The two chatted very well, and Zhou Yutang learned the reason why Wang Baoqiao appeared at the milk tea concert.

He and Liu Ruoying became acquainted when they were filming "No Thieves in the World", when he made his debut, he was not a hit, he was a little out of place in such a crew full of big coffees, milk tea took care of him a lot at that time, and later after the filming was over, the relationship between the two has been maintained, and it is a famous godsister and brother relationship in the circle.

Well, unlike Zhou Yutang, this is a pure godsister and brother

Wang Baoqiang was also very interested in making movies, and asked a lot of Zhou Yutang about the situation he encountered when filming movies, exclaimed again and again, and said directly: "Yu Tang, I really admire you, the first time you directed a movie, the box office is so high, and it was already 160 million yesterday, and it is a big dark horse for this year's Chinese New Year." ”

"Now it's 161 million, how much money can I make?"

The broker who was waiting on the side chimed in.

"It's just lucky, it's about to be released."

Zhou Yutang said modestly, his eyes glanced slightly, and he saw this Wang Baoqiao's agent with a flattering smile.

It's a strange feeling.

Some people's looks are easy to make people feel close and good at a glance, such as Wang Baoqiao.

But some people don't.

Just like this Song Zhe, he obviously looks like Zhou Zheng, but he is wearing a pair of black glasses, with dark circles under his eyes that can't be concealed, and an exaggerated smile on his face, which makes Zhou Yutang feel disgusted for no reason, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the moment.

chatted with Bao Qian backstage for a while, and finally it was Zhou Yutang's turn to appear.

It was not the first time he had been a guest, he walked onto the stage with steady steps and waved his hand casually downward.

Today's dress is still simple, white canvas shoes, black slacks, and an ordinary white shirt on the upper body, which are basically products of their own online store, worn on Zhou Yutang's body, but there is a low-key and introverted but very fresh temperament.

"Hello to the audience."

"Wow! Zhou Yutang! Zhou Yutang! So handsome!! ”

"Zhou Yutang looks so handsome holding the microphone!"

"Zhou Yutang! Those years! Zhou Yutang! Those years! ”

"Yu Tang, your popularity has been really high recently, there is a very popular movie, I have watched it twice, I don't know if you have ever been to the cinema."

Liu Ruoying stood on the stage with a microphone and aimed it at the audience, and the fans were also very face-saving and responded excitedly: "In those years, the girls we chased together." ”

"Not bad."

Liu Ruoying nodded and made a mischievous joke: "Yu Tang, where is Liu Jiayi you chased in those years?" ”

"Shi Shi is also promoting the movie in Rongcheng."

Zhou Yutang answered: "I heard that Sister Ruoying held a concert, and she just got off the plane and took a taxi directly, and I just heard Sister Ruoying sing "Later" in the background, I was really moved. ”

"Next, I sang "Those Years" with Sister Ruoying."

As he spoke, Zhou Yutang loosened the two buttons on the collar of his shirt and pulled up the cuffs of his shirt.

Simple actions, but the atmosphere of the audience under the stage is stimulated.

The stage lights are disillusioned, and the rhythmic sounds that are all too familiar to all are heard.

"Those Years!"

Zhou Yutang's song has been on the major music charts for several months.

With the explosion of the movie, this song actually went against the current and directly sat in the top three on the music list, making countless young men and women who reminisce about their youthful dreams obsessed.

Especially since I haven't heard Zhou Yutang sing on this occasion for a long time, the response from the audience is particularly enthusiastic.

Liu Ruoying was a little surprised.

The audience's enthusiastic reaction gave her the illusion that her concert seemed to have become Zhou Yutang's home field.

All the lights converged on the two of them at the same time.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Back to the original starting point, remember your green face

We've finally come to this day."

Liu Ruoying sang very devotedly, and Zhou Yutang was also full of emotion.

The two of them cooperated very well, and where the camera passed, you could clearly see the excited faces of the audience under the stage, and they also sang along, and the singing gathered into a sea of cheers, as if to tear down the dome.

"What a great guy!"

Wang Baoqiao watched Zhou Yutang's free stage performance backstage, and the atmosphere at the scene was even warmer than Fang Cai, and he sincerely sighed.

"It's just a little more handsome and a little luckier."

Song Zhe pursed his lips.

"Be careful when you speak, he's my friend."

Wang Baoqiao turned his head and glared at Song Zhe fiercely.

Milk Tea's "Sleepwalking" tour will be held 10 times in a row, Beijing is only the first stop, followed by Magic City, Nanjing and other stations, and finally ended at the Little Arena in Bend Province, Zhou Yutang agreed to Chen Guofu to support the scene, but it is impossible to go to all the venues.

However, after the concert, Liu Ruoying still expressed her gratitude at the celebration banquet.

This sister drank some wine at night, her face was a little red, although her appearance was not beautiful, but she had a fresh and quiet temperament, like a gurgling stream, no wonder it could make the big guy tempted.

"Yu Tang."

She took the initiative to come over to toast, and her tone was gentle: "Thank you very much, I am very happy to be so busy and rushed over to participate in today's singing." ”

"Sister Ruoying, if you want to thank you, thank Brother Chen."

Zhou Yutang smiled and raised his glass and touched it, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Brother Chen, you helped me get through the relationship over there, and I can only help you get here.

…………………………

Four weeks after the release of "Those Years", the box office trend finally gradually flattened out, until mid-March, and finally the mainland box office data was fixed at 168 million, second only to "Assembly Number" (260 million), as well as "Casting Names" (208 million), "Yangtze River No. 7" 195 million, and the fourth place in the Chinese New Year stall.

The box office performance of other cities brought a great surprise to Zhou Yutang.

South Korea, Neon and other regions have not arranged to be released, mainly because of the box office explosions in Wan Province and Xiangjiang.

The total box office of Wan Province is 240 million Taiwan dollars (55.81 million yuan), and the cumulative box office of Xiangjiang is as high as 53.17 million Hong Kong dollars, (about 42 million yuan).

To know.

This is still the case that Zhou Yutang did not participate in any publicity in Xiangjiang and Bend Province, and he relied on word-of-mouth to win such a high box office.

When the news reached the mainland, the whole circle was shaken.

Countless film and television companies and industry insiders have set their sights on Jiangdong Film and Television Studio, and no one could have imagined that such a youth film produced with small cost investment could be so popular.

originally thought that "Those Years" was a dark horse that could make people's eyes shine, but I didn't expect it to be a fish leaping into the dragon gate, one step to the sky, and it directly made people fall to the ground.

"Those Years" can achieve such brilliant results, and even the light on the top three in the Lunar New Year file has dimmed a lot.

The eyes of professionals in the circle are on the movie "Those Years", and various film critics and major companies have conducted professional analysis for the first time, and summarized several reasons why "Those Years" can become popular:

First, the blank in the domestic youth film market, coupled with the crotch pulling of "Slam Dunk" in the same period, created Zhou Yutang's leaping dragon gate.

Second, the crazy publicity of Light Media, combined with the power of the local push model, can be seen.

Third, the quality of "Those Years" is really excellent, Zhou Yutang is indeed very talented, and he has filmed the almost touchable youth in many people's hearts that has passed far away.

Movies with youth genre themes are promising.

As soon as the news of Zhou Yutang's return to the capital spread, a group of reporters immediately surrounded him.

I don't know where these guys got the specific address of the studio, so they blocked the door.

It's just that none of them squatted to Zhou Yutang.

Except for being a guest at the milk tea concert at the beginning of the month, Zhou Yutang lived in a simple place and never accepted media interviews.

Where did Zhou Yutang go?

This is the doubt in the minds of many media reporters.

The answer is to go back to film school.

It's really not about pretending to be forced to go back to school, it's about talking to the teachers at the film school about the project.

The script for "Latent" was written for several months, and it was finally completed, and a teacher at the film school was very interested.

On the way to the classroom office, I met Jing Tian, a girl in the dormitory.

"Brother Yu Tang."

Jing Tian's big eyes lit up, and she stepped forward with cheerful small steps.

Zheng Shuang, Kan Qingzi and Tan Songyun also followed.

Several girls looked at Zhou Yutang, their eyes were full of admiration.

"Tian Tian, are you going to class?"

Zhou Yutang's footsteps paused slightly and said hello.

In fact, the film school is not big, and it is easy to meet.

"Well, Teacher Huang Lei's class."

"Then you should be careful, Teacher Huang is very strict."

Zhou Yutang made a joke, Huang Leina is also a star teacher at the Film Academy, he was popular with thousands of girls when he was young, and he also had an ambiguous relationship with milk tea.

"Brother Yu Tang, we went to watch "Those Years" twice in our bedroom, it's really good-looking!"

Miss Jing Tian smiled sweetly, and was sincerely happy for Zhou Yutang: "I heard that the box office is very good, Brother Yutang, you are really amazing." ”

"Thank you for your support."

Facing the admiring eyes of the girls, Zhou Yutang responded indifferently.

The main reason is that too many people have praised it during this time.

Not only did Dean Wang of the Film Academy personally send congratulatory text messages, but several teachers who had a good relationship with him also praised him.

There is also Li Xiaoping, vice president of Guangguang Media, and Zhou Yutang has recently received at least three calls from Sister Xiaoping every day.

Either ask him about the cold, or ask him about his sleep, let him pay attention to his body, and don't forget to participate in the celebration banquet when the time comes.

It seemed like overnight.

Surrounded by good people.

So, these little girls' rainbow farts are nothing at all.

The stars surrounded Zhou Yutang in the middle, chattering about the filming of the movie, and there were endless words, and he forgot that he had to go to class next.

"Aren't you going to class?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at the time and said with a smile.

The hands on the watch turned to the hour, and then the bell rang, Jing Tian and Kan Qingzi were slightly stunned, but Tan Songyun, who still looked stupid, was the first to react and exclaimed:

"Oh no, the class bell is ringing!"

"Brother Yu Tang, I'll invite you to dinner in a few days, and we'll go first."

Miss Jing Tian didn't have time to say goodbye, and trotted towards the teaching building with Kan Qingzi and Zheng Shuang.

"It's nice to be young."

Zhou Yutang looked at the youthful backs of these girls, sighed softly, and Teacher Tian's voice came from beside him: "You are only a sophomore, and you still say that the little girl is young?" ”

"Teacher Tian."

Turning his head to show a bright smile, Zhou Yutang asked, "Has Teacher Jiang Wei arrived?" ”

"It's early, waiting for you."

Tian Xiangxiang patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder, his eyes were full of relief.

At his age, he has seen all the things in the world, and his wealth is like floating clouds, and he has a good reputation.

is like Zhou Yutang, a student, a movie, the fish leaps into the dragon gate, which has been repeatedly mentioned in recent gatherings with old friends in the circle, which really makes his face shine.

Approaching the door, Teacher Tian also pulled Zhou Yutang and mentioned in his ear: "Your Teacher Jiang is a good person, but his temperament is a little straight, so be polite later." ”

"Understood."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

If you want to talk about Mr. Jiang Wei, it is also a big cow.

In the 90s, he directed "Alishan's Daughter" and won the Feitian Short Drama Award, and he worked with Xue Xiaolu as the screenwriter of "Don't Talk to Strangers", I don't know how many people's psychological shadows have become, and a few years ago, he also filmed a criminal investigation suspense TV series "Silent Witness", which received a warm response and won the New Director Award.

His current identity is a professor of the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy, a master's tutor, and his theoretical and practical skills are quite solid.

This time, Zhou Yutang sent the script of "Latent" to Mr. Tian and Mr. Yao for a look.

Several teachers from film academies discussed for a while, and unanimously gave a high evaluation, I heard that Zhou Yutang's studio was about to start the project, and finally this teacher Jiang Wei took the initiative to find Tian Xiangxing's side.

He wanted to direct it himself.

After being introduced by Mr. Tian Zhuangzhuang, he directly talked about the script of "Latent".

Mr. Jiang Wei is very meticulous and conscientious, and he has watched "Latent" back and forth many times during this time, and he has his own understanding of this script, and has put forward a lot of details that can be improved.

After a brief exchange, Zhou Yutang also had a very intuitive understanding of Mr. Jiang Wei's ability, and asked politely: "Mr. Jiang, at present, the male lead is Mr. Zhang Songwen, and the female lead is Zeng Li, do you have any opinions?" ”

"Song Wen, the acting skills are okay, Zeng Li's words"

Jiang Wei groaned for a while, and finally nodded: "I don't have any opinions." ”

The temperament is upright, and it is not completely impersonal.

There is an old saying in the Celestial Empire that those who know the times are Junjie.

Zhou Yutang's identity is an investor, not a simple film school student, he wants the control of the crew, which Jiang Wei can still handle.

So although in his opinion, Zeng Li was not the most suitable candidate for the heroine, he nodded and agreed.

"Teacher Jiang, happy cooperation."

Zhou Yutang got up and shook hands with Mr. Jiang, and then prepared to go back to the studio.

Now a group of reporters in the studio are squatting in shifts downstairs.

"Those Years" became popular, not only did Zhou Yutang become famous, but everyone in the circle knew that Li Shuang was the second-in-command of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio.

Out of helplessness, Sister Shuang had no choice but to call Zhou Yutang and prepare for a press conference.

"Director Zhou, I have interviewed many directors, and they will talk about their camera movement and shooting skills during the interview, which sounds very powerful. But as far as I know, you are from the acting department of the film school, and you are not a director in a professional class, so how did you think of making this movie? ”

"The camera movement and shooting skills you talked about are really important. I didn't come from a professional background, so I often talked with my two assistant directors, Lin Yufen and Wen Muye, as well as the director of photography, and I think this is also a process of learning to make films. Luckily, I have a very good team, I just need to pass on the results I want to shoot and then confirm what kind of shots and camera positions I want to shoot."

""Those Years" was a box office hit, how do you feel?"

"A movie can be a big hit, it depends on the right time, place and people, and a variety of factors, not my credit alone. I just try to make a good movie, and the rest mainly depends on publicity, distribution, and media cooperation, of course, the most important thing is the audience who buys tickets and walks into the cinema, it is their support that will make the box office like today. ”

"The market response of "Those Years" in Wan Province and Xiangjiang has been very good, will you be very happy."

"To be honest, the box office of Bend Province and Xiangjiang is so high, it is completely beyond the scope of my expectations, I also grew up watching Brother Long and Zhou Yichi's movies, and now the movie can be recognized by the audience in Bend Province and Xiangjiang, I am really happy."

End of interview.

Zhou Yutang answered Li Xiaoping's phone call and chatted about the box office share.

I was calculating how much money I could make, and I didn't see the road when I walked into the studio.

Bumped into a soft embrace head-on.
