Zhou Yutang's "Lonely Agent" was lonely and undefeated for a long time.

Another mega-blockbuster is coming.

"Transformers 2", which was released at the end of June, finally let everyone see the horrors of Hollywood movies.

The premiere directly won 33.8 million box office, and the box office exceeded 100 million in 4 days of release.

It directly exceeded 200 million in 8 days after its release, and the Titanic was knocked out in 13 days after its release.

The domestic blockbusters "Assembly", "Painted Skin", and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" in front of him could not stop the ferocious offensive of "Transformers 2" at all.

One by one, they were beheaded under their horses.

Invincible!

Within a few weeks of the release of this movie, it even accounted for more than 90% of the total box office of the main theater chain, and when it was close to going offline, the total box office had reached 445 million, second only to Zhou Yutang's "Lonely Agent", ranking second in the annual box office list of the Celestial Empire.

The entire entertainment industry was shaken by it.

It even caused quite a stir on the Hollywood side.

Several large film companies over there have raised the importance of the Celestial Empire film market to another level.

This year, there is a "Lone Agent" that broke 500 million, and then this "Transformers 2", which shows that the potential and development of the Celestial Empire film market has exceeded their expectations.

Big Dog Brother is very excited, the furious box office of "Transformers 2" proves that the special effects road he has always adhered to is not wrong, and he is ready to go to the United States again and take people to inspect the special effects company.

"Yu Tang, if it weren't for your "Lone Agent", it would really be enough to hang this year."

Mr. Han's tone was also a little lucky.

Recently, he was scolded as a sitting eagle, saying that he led a wolf into the house.

I didn't expect this Hollywood movie to burst out with so much energy before.

If it weren't for Zhou Yutang in front of him, none of the domestic movies this year would be able to play.

Now that I think about it.

Zhou Yutang is really ruthless.

On May 1st, he not only knocked out Lu Chuan's "Nanjing", but also strongly suppressed the Hollywood blockbuster "Wolverine" released at the same time as "Agent", making the latter's box office only more than 60 million in the end.

"It's going to get better and better in the future."

"By the way, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is scheduled for the National Day, and when the time comes, come to the premiere, have you finished filming that drama?"

"It can be done in three weeks."

"That's okay, I'll come here in two days, I've got new tea here"

After hanging up Han Sanping's phone, Zhou Yutang felt Yu Feihong's arm in his arms touch him,

"Just talked to Han Sanping about "Transformers"?"

"Well, this film is a bit ruthless."

In the crew, I took the time to go to the cinema with Liu Yifei to watch it, and Zhou Yutang's deepest impression was not that he was a car man who could transform, but that Megan Fox, who was at the peak of her appearance, was really top.

"Sister Feihong, do you want to go and see it together?"

"I'm not going, I'm not in the mood lately."

Yu Feihong sighed faintly, and Zhou Yutang patted this sister's fragrant shoulder to show comfort: "It's okay, good things are grinding, I'm here." ”

He took leave from the crew of "Star You" this time and arranged to shoot the scenes of Yang Mi and Wang Kai first, just because of Yu Feihong's "Love Has an Afterlife".

After Zhou Yutang was invited to watch the finished film, the overall impression was okay.

The script has been revised, and it is still literary and artistic, but the plot details are relatively complete compared to the original, and the logic of the whole film is more reasonable.

But there were some surprises in the film.

Originally, the film was scheduled to be released on July 28, but just a few days ago, after the first copies were printed, the color and light did not meet the requirements at all.

"How do you fix it now?"

"I've had several meetings with Xingmei, and the solution there is to copy and remake it, adjust the publicity plan, and then the movie will probably be postponed to mid-to-late September."

"It's better not to wait until then."

Zhou Yutang shook his head: "This year's National Day file, the three blockbusters of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", "Wheat Field", and "The Wind", especially Mr. Han's "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", will have a very high film schedule at that time, and other films will have to give way."

"Yu Tang, what about your suggestion?"

Yu Feihong looked at Zhou Yutang with expectant eyes.

Zhou Yutang thought about it for a while and made a decisive decision: "Copy and remake, and then shorten the publicity period as much as possible, and it will be released at the end of August at the latest." ”

"Well, I'll listen to you."

Yu Feihong leaned lightly on Zhou Yutang's broad shoulder.

A beauty who is usually intellectually mature is as well-behaved and obedient as a cat at this time.

I can smell the scent of orchid on her body.

Zhou Yutang suddenly felt a kind of restlessness in his heart.

Noon on hoe day.

After a storm of wind and rain.

was dragged by Yu Feihong to the dinner together.

"Yu Tang, Old Jiang has long wanted to know you."

The radiant Yu Feihong drove the car with a smile on his face: "He has a high opinion of you, and has said several times, let me introduce you to him." ”

Zhou Yutang chuckled: "I've been obsessed with him for a long time. ”

The old ginger that Yu Feihong's sister said is Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen is indeed a very capable character.

His first film, "Sunny Days", was hailed as a masterpiece by many fans.

may be an exaggeration, but it is definitely a rare film with an adaptation that surpasses the original book, and has won numerous awards since its release, and was named the first of the top ten Chinese films in 95 by Time Magazine.

This is a representative player who is at the peak of his debut.

It's just that life sometimes has its ups and downs.

After that, Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming" was banned, and the 30 million investment was lost, and even he himself was banned from directing for 5 years.

During this period, he went to Lu Chuan's "Looking for a Gun" crew, and output wildly, making Lu Taro cry and making it a joke.

After finally surviving the past 5 years, Jiang Wen probably wanted to use a "The Sun Also Rises" to express the fierce emotions that had been pent up in his heart for a long time and announce his return to the entire Celestial Empire film industry.

Reality poured cold water on him.

The film is probably about the defeat of the idealists and the victory of the realists, perhaps because the shooting techniques are too advanced, and as a result, few people can understand the film

Although the rating of this film on the Internet is not low, the box office is quite bleak, with an investment of about 60 million, and the total box office is less than 18 million, which can be said to make investors lose so much that they vomit blood.

Hot knowledge: At the beginning, the investor of this film was Yinghuang boss Yang Shoucheng.

Jiang Wen was very real, and told Boss Yang that this movie was a literary film that couldn't make money, and Boss Yang was also very interesting, probably because he admired Jiang Wen's talent, or invested in this movie, the key was to lose money, and Boss Yang didn't take it to heart, and still maintained close contact with Jiang Wen.

"Finally seeing you, Yu Tang."

The box door opened, and his eyes turned around on the two people who walked in side by side, Jiang Wen grinned, took the initiative to get up, and shook hands with Zhou Yutang: "I always hear Lao Yu talk about you, and the few comments you put forward to her script are very pertinent and very good." ”

Zhou Yutang said modestly: "Teacher Jiang praised it falsely, so I mentioned it casually." ”

"Don't make this set, you have such a good relationship with Feihong, just call me Lao Jiang"

Jiang Wen didn't put on any shows, and his style was bold and atmospheric: "I also watched your movie "Those Years", a work of feelings, the "Lonely Agent" made my blood boil, and it was really good to shoot"

"It's far worse than Brother Wen."

"Look at you, and humble, touch one first."

"I'll give my brother a drink."

"Again."

Three rounds of drinking.

With Yu Feihong as the middleman, one greeted each other with a smile and the other intended to make friends, and the atmosphere at the banquet gradually became warmer.

Zhou Yutang knew that Jiang Wen had been laying the groundwork for a long time, as if he had something to say, so he put down the wine glass and took the initiative to ask: "Brother Wen asked Sister Feihong to bring me over today, what advice do you have?" ”

Zhou Yutang has a good impression of Jiang Wen, in addition to appreciating his own ability, but also because of his recent battle with Lu Chutaro, Jiang Wen also scolded Lu Chun on the Internet.

As long as you scold Lu Chuan, then everyone is a friend.

When they met for the first time this time, Zhou Yutang's words were quite polite.

"Don't give me any pointers."

Jiang Wen waved his hand: "The box office of my movies is not as high as yours, mainly because I want to ask you something." ”

Yu Feihong put down her chopsticks.

The expression was slightly surprised.

Jiang Wen is the most core figure in the Beijing circle, and he can be regarded as a genius-level figure, I don't know how many people are sought after, naturally he has his arrogance, and it is rare to see him lower his posture like this.

"Brother Wen, you say."

Zhou Yutang also made a deferential appearance.

This is too individual, that is the role of conspiring with Zhang Yi and directly scolding and crying Lu Chuan.

"I have a question, how do you grasp the market when you do film and television?"

Jiang Wen scratched his head and finally threw out his doubts.

Yu Feihong's gaze also turned, with a slight curiosity.

This is actually a question that countless people in the circle want to study.

Starting from "I Want to See You", "Let's Get Married", "Those Years", "Latent", "Together in the Window" and other works have gained a good reputation, and all of them have been hits.

Among them, there are even many phenomenal hits.

What does this mean?

It shows that Zhou Yutang is really as Ouyang Changlin said, and has a key to ratings.

In other words, Zhou Yutang knows what those viewers want to see.

Jiang Wen was also curious about this question.

Everyone who fails will have a period of confusion and will doubt their ability and judgment to some extent.

He now wants to find out what Zhou Yutang thinks.

He loves movies and wants to continue making movies, so at least he must not lose money, otherwise even if investors are willing to invest, he himself will not be happy.

"Regarding this issue, in fact, I just have some immature ideas, and I just want to communicate with you, Brother Wen."

"Don't talk about that, you kid."

Jiang Wen said speechlessly.

In front of him, Zhou Yutang behaved very indifferently and casually, but he had a calm bearing that was not commensurate with his current age.

Talking and doing things are not leaky, no wonder Han Sanping and Boss Yang can be praised at the same time.

"Just say it."

Yu Feihong also gently patted Zhou Yutang's arm and said with a smile.

Jiang Wen's gaze turned between the two, and he instantly understood something.

"That's right, Brother Wen."

Zhou Yutang smiled indifferently: "I think that after the marketization of films, everyone's viewing level is actually still at a very low stage, if you want to use some advanced techniques such as light and shadow and plot innuendo to make movies with strong artistic themes, many audiences may not understand." ”

"To put it simply, the audience's brain waves can't receive the signal released by the director, and the two sides don't match, so the box office of this movie will naturally not be very ideal"

"It's kind of interesting."

Jiang Wen nodded thoughtfully: "It's just to lower the threshold for watching movies as much as possible." ”

"How to lower the threshold for watching movies?"

Yu Feihong couldn't help but ask.

Her Virgo "Love Has an Afterlife" is actually suffering here.

The filming is too literary, the threshold for viewing the movie is high, and those who can get it will feel very advanced, but those who can't get it will feel that the shooting is in the clouds.

She knows it in her own heart, but after the filming is over, there is no way to change it.

"The simplest thing is to set the lines and plot as straightforward as possible, but in the straightforward plot and lines, you can vaguely show your own ideas, form a dramatic conflict, and provoke the audience's emotions."

"I understand when you say that, I salute you three times."

Jiang Wen's face showed a sudden look, and he simply lifted the wine and drank three glasses in a row.

Put down your glass.

Looking at Zhou Yutang again, his expression was very different from the original.

It is definitely not luck that this young man has been able to get to where he is today.

Zhou Yutang also accompanied three cups.

"Don't drink too quickly."

When Yu Feihong saw Jiang Wen's expression, she was also slightly happy in her heart, and gently rubbed Zhou Yutang with her calf under the table, and said with concern.

The good brother in her heart can be respected by Jiang Wen, and she is also used in her heart, which proves that she has a good vision.

After drinking the wine, Jiang Wen took out a stack of papers from the side, "Yu Tang, I have a notebook in my hand, you can help me take a look." ”

"I'll see."

Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly.

Took the script and flipped through it.

Gradually, I became obsessed.

The script is set in the Beiyang period.

tells the story of the gangster Zhang Mazi who turned into a gangster, assumed the name of Qing official Ma Bangde, became the magistrate of Goose City, and fought against the bullies of Goose City.

Seeing Zhou Yutang's serious expression and almost seeing it, Jiang Wen couldn't help but ask, "How is it?" ”

"What's the name of this book?"

"I didn't come up with a name, I changed the "Thief of Officials", I got a synopsis of the story first, did you make a head?"

"There must be."

Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly, and he took the initiative to ask: "Brother Wen, has the investment been completed?" ”

"Not yet, you have an idea?"

"I can cast your play."

"I lost tens of millions of dollars in a few plays, do you dare to vote?"

Jiang Wen seemed to be a little incredulous.

Yu Feihong also had beautiful eyes that felt a little anxious, and her long legs gently touched Zhou Yutang's legs below.

Meaning:

Calm down, don't go up.

Although she is friends with Jiang Wen, she has a closer relationship with Zhou Yutang.

Sister Yu was afraid that Zhou Yutang would drink and make irrational decisions.

"I think you have what it takes."

Zhou Yutang patted Yu Feihong's hand lightly, raised his glass and chuckled: "Brother Wen, you make a book first, and when the time comes, we will talk slowly about the cost budget, I dare not say more, tens of millions will definitely be fine." ”

After the company bought the building, in addition to the investment in several plays, there were still more than 30 million in the account.

The webcast rights of the second and third seasons of "Classmates" and the second and third rounds can bring at least eight-figure income.

What's more, there is also the box office share of over 100 million yuan of "Agent", "The Voice" is also crazy about attracting money, and the variety show layout is gradually radiating to Asia, Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Entertainment can definitely be called the king of cash.

"It's a deal!"

Jiang Wen raised his wine glass excitedly, took a sip of it, and grinned: "Brother, you are bright enough, I feel comfortable when I hear your words, why don't you name this book?" ”

"Then it's called 'Let the Bullets Fly'!"
