Chapter 238: A girl with aura, an explosive reputation
The news that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" sold at a sky-high price, and outsiders watched it and ate a melon.
But those who have a heart in the circle have already taken action.
For a while, several film and television companies announced the establishment of Qing palace dramas, and "Step by Step" on the Tang people's side was regarded as the first step to start filming and get the first shot, and there was another company that also acted very quickly.
"Yu Zheng Studio's "Palace", please Yang Mi play the heroine?"
Zhou Yutang was not surprised when he heard the news brought by Li Shuang.
After the project of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was established, there was a lot of news about court dramas at that time, and Yu Zheng was also one of them.
This is also a talent, he made a Qing palace drama book by himself, and he is ready to start filming quickly.
The heroine of this kind of court drama naturally wants to invite Hua Dan, who is popular online, to carry the ratings.
"Step by Step Shocking" has Liu Shishi, and only Yang Mi can benchmark Liu Shishi.
"Yu Tang, do you want to let the artist agency go back?"
"There's no need."
Zhou Yutang chuckled: ""Step by Step Shocking" has started filming, and it will definitely be broadcast first, so that the later ones can also drink soup, but Yang Mi's asking price can be raised a little." ”
"Mimi, there's a new drama again, you're the heroine!"
received a notice from Jiangdong Entertainment, and the agent Zeng Jia found Yang Mi as soon as possible.
Yang Mi was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it, picked up her mobile phone and said: "It's Yu Zheng's "Palace", I'll call Yu Tang first and see what he says?" ”
In the past, I only knew that Lengtou was brutal and worked hard, but later I found out that it was not as heavy as Zhou Yutang's words.
After following Zhou Yutang, Yang Mi also learned to be smart.
And after the ambiguous incident in the café, it seems to be faintly released, and now that there is a project, you must call Zhou Yutang first to ask for his thoughts and opinions.
A few minutes passed.
Hanging up the phone, Yang Mi smiled and nodded to Zeng Jia: "Sister Jia, Yu Tang said that he could answer it, and he asked me to accompany him to a dinner party in two days, saying that he would take me to meet some friends." ”
"Congratulations, Mimi."
Zeng Jia was slightly stunned, and then overjoyed: "This is about to take off." ”
Zhou Yutang took Yang Mi to the dinner and casually introduced the producers and directors in the circle, which are all valuable resources.
…………………………
The aftermath of "The Great Earthquake" finally dissipated, and the final box office was fixed at 670 million.
Zhou Yutang was invited to participate in the celebration banquet of "The Great Earthquake".
Beijing, Hilton Hotel.
Wang Zhonglei held the shoulders of the small steel cannon, stood on the high platform, and met the eyes of everyone looking up, and the whole person was a little fluttery:
"Huayi and Xiaogang are mutually successful, and the record of "The Great Earthquake" is here, which is a kind of fulfillment for Xiaogang, and it is not a consummation for Huayi."
Balabala said a lot.
First of all, the bittersweet memories are sweet, and the focus is still pretending.
Making a movie is all about it.
Even giants like Huayi have lost money.
Some time ago, the spy Hai Fengyun lost more than 20 million US dollars, and Zhou Yutang saw Wang Zhonglei at an event, and his face collapsed, and his worried hair fell out a lot.
More than $20 million is not more than $2,000.
It may be equivalent to the profit of Huayi for the whole year before it went public.
And during that time, the company's stock price continued to fall, and the net worth of the two brothers of the Wang family evaporated a lot.
created a box office record for the Celestial Empire movie, although there was a lot of criticism from the outside world about this result, but the shareholders seemed to have increased their confidence, and the stock price of Huayi Company also rose.
The ancients said that wealth and nobility do not return to their hometowns, such as brocade clothes walking at night.
The high-spirited Wang Zhonglei gave up the stage of pretending to be forced to Xiaogang Cannon.
Of course, he also noticed Zhou Yutang, took the initiative to put on a smiling face, and walked over to hug Zhou Yutang's shoulders affectionately: "Yutang, it's really difficult to invite you over." ”
Everyone in the circle knows it.
Compared with ordinary celebrities who are keen on party banquets, Zhou Yutang does not like to attend this kind of occasion.
If it weren't for his close friends, it would be difficult to see him.
Zhou Yutang said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, congratulations on the box office hit, this is my company's Yang Mi." ”
Yang Mi greeted with a very discerning eye: "Mr. Wang, hello." ”
"yes, you're good."
Glancing at Yang Mi holding Zhou Yutang's arm, Wang Zhonglei instantly understood, revealing a smile that all men understand: "Yutang, your movie has done a good job in publicity, I watched the trailer, it's really exciting." ”
"Mr. Wang is polite, "The Empire of Babel" is highly anticipated."
"Hehe, I hope that the National Day file will not lose too badly."
Although they all have smiles on their faces and blow each other in business, there is a bit of truth and a bit of falsehood, but only the parties know it.
Yang Mi obediently held Zhou Yutang's arm.
A conversation between big people like this, she's not a good fit to interject.
Wang Zhonglei is one of the protagonists tonight, naturally very busy, and after a while, he heard someone looking for him over there, saying hello, and left.
Wait until he's gone.
Yang Micai leaned over and asked in Zhou Yutang's ear: "Yu Tang, why do I feel that he is a little bit showing off?" ”
"Your feelings are not wrong."
Zhou Yutang smiled.
Compared with Mr. Wang's calm personality, Mr. Xiao Wang is obviously a little unbridled.
From his point of view, the box office of "The Great Earthquake" of 670 million has made Huayi Company the box office ceiling of the Celestial Empire, and he and Feng Xiaogang have also received attention and applause from countless people on stage.
Eyebrows raised indeed.
As for the National Day file, don't lose too badly?
It is estimated that Wang Zhonglei, who was a little fluttering at this time, was speechless.
Some time ago, the propaganda was all over the sky, all promoting that "Tongtian Empire" was aimed at the Golden Lion.
Da Mimi was next to Zhou Yutang's arm, and there was a soft touch, and her sweet voice gave him support: "I think the box office of "Big Man" must be higher than that of "Tongtian Empire", and strive to break Huayi's record." ”
After following Zhou Yutang, Yang Mi tasted a lot of sweetness, and subconsciously classified herself into the Jiangdong camp.
In the past, he would definitely not say anything offensive to Hua Yi.
Zhou Yutang was keenly aware of this, but he didn't say much.
Because soon quite a few people came looking for him.
Wang Jinghua, Chen Guofu, Big Dog Brother and other well-known characters came to him one after another, and they talked about the screening of "Big Man" in a few days.
Yang Mi has a deeper understanding of Zhou Yutang's connections.
Say hello round.
Zhou Yutang chatted with Huang Xiaoming again.
"Brother Xiao Ming, what's the situation?"
Zhou Yutang looked at the mature and beautiful woman brought by Huang Xiaoming and seemed to have talked to Yang Mi about something, and the two girls laughed and trembled, and their expressions were slightly abrupt.
Huang Xiaoming patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder and smiled: "That's the situation you think." ”
"When will it be better?"
"Just the night you were at the pony club."
Huang Xiaoming laughed: "That night, she drank too much, I went to pick her up, and then she suddenly cried. What should have happened later, suddenly happened."
No wonder.
Lu Chuan's new movie "The King's Feast" does not have Qin Lan in the cast.
Zhou Yutang didn't say much about this.
Can old dreams come true again?
He didn't know either.
But we are all adults, and we all have our own ways of thinking and doing things.
Huang Xiaoming's emotional matters, he will make his own decisions.
As a friend.
It can only be said that he is on his side at a critical time.
Huang Xiaoming has negotiated with Huayi that the contract will not be renewed after it expires.
The two sides parted amicably, and then he will set up his own independent studio, and will star in the blockbuster "Sweeping Drugs" co-produced by the two places.
The two brothers skipped this topic very tacitly, and talked more about the company's operation and development.
Huang Xiaoming learned from Zhou Yutang with an attitude of asking for advice.
After all, he was able to start from scratch, and in just a few years, he developed the studio into an entertainment company of this size, which has been regarded as a miracle by many people in the entertainment industry.
"Uncle."
Zhang Zifeng is wearing a princess dress, well-behaved, and cute.
Compared with when filming "Lone Agent", the little girl seems to have grown a lot taller, but her face seems to be much rounder.
Zhou Yutang hugged her up, pinched her round little face, and made the little girl giggle.
"This kid is really naughty, he took a day off from school today to attend the dinner, and he was very happy."
Mother Zhang also said to Zhou Yutang with a little gratitude: "Mr. Zhou, thank you for recommending Zifeng to Director Feng." ”
"Sister Zifeng is very aura."
Zhou Yutang hugged Zhang Zifeng and said with a faint smile: "The future is promising." ”
With his amazing performance in "Lone Agent", Zhou Yutang won the Golden Jue and the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Zhang Zifeng also became the youngest winner in the history of the Golden Goblet Award and the Golden Horse Award.
has attracted countless attention inside and outside the circle, and the number of fans is even more than that of some female stars.
And her fans are quite wide in age, most of them are parents fans, a bit of a cloud raising daughter, they all like this little girl's amazing performance in "Lonely Agent", and her performance in "The Great Earthquake" is also remarkable.
There are some words that Zhang's mother has heard many times.
But when it came out of Zhou Yutang's mouth, it made her heart flutter, and she chatted with Zhou Yutang about the trivial things when the crew of "The Great Earthquake" was filming.
In fact, Zhou Yutang and Zhang Ruojun also chatted from time to time, and listened to the fine dog talk about Zifeng's sister.
During the filming period, the weather was very cold, and the warm baby that the crew gave to Zifeng's sister was distributed to other extras, and Zhang Ruojun was also shared, and when filming, she was quite tenacious when she encountered difficulties, and it can be said that she was born to eat this bowl of rice.
Such a kind and sensible little girl is really cute.
Zhou Yutang hugged Zhang Zifeng, but remembered the little koi.
This girl is considered to be competitive, and she worked hard to be admitted to the second middle school, and he also kept his word, specially greeted Tian Ming, and then prepared to transfer the little koi to school in the magic capital.
Since she is interested in taking the path of acting, she must cultivate it from an early age.
In the entertainment industry, it is very important to be good-looking.
But it can't be nothing.
At least the business ability must be passable, otherwise even if Zhou Yutang insists on it, he will be ridiculed by a group of people, which is not very interesting.
Little Koi is the youngest artist under Zhou Yutang, and she received the most basic music and dance training there.
Win at the starting line.
Strive to carry the banner of Jiangdong entertainment traffic Huadan in the future.
…………………………
The publicity that "Big Man" should do has been done in place.
The first shot of the National Day file was fired by Zhang Yimou, and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was the first to be released.
The national teacher is still the national teacher, and the skill is still there.
The film doesn't have any fancy, the overall tone is somber, there are no bright colors and lights, there are almost no special effects, and even the story is very simple.
The realistic style is not shocking, but you can see the truth that hits people's hearts from a small place.
Only uses the most simple film language to tell a story of pure love.
Zhou Yutang took Zeng Li to the cinema to watch this love movie.
When Zeng Li's eyes were red when he came out, Zhou Yutang comforted him.
There are also many praises on the Internet, and the national teacher really has a hand in training actresses.
Zhu Yilong's performance is in place, and Little Yellow Duck also shows the character characteristics of the heroine Jingqiu very well.
The box office on the first day was 12.8 million, which is also the best feedback from the market, which has broken the first-day box office record of literary films held by Chen Shiren, and has also caused a lot of shock in the circle.
Universe Dan and Liu Weiqiang also began to enter the crazy propaganda mode, and they filled various cups in front of the media:
Universe Dan said confidently: "I shot the film "Jingwu Fengyun", I believe it will bring you a different visual experience, and the box office will be at least more than 500 million. ”
Liu Weiqiang's tone is also very crazy: ""Jingwu Fengyun" must be a very exciting blockbuster, the target is not a literary film directed by Zhang Yimou, the goal is to hit all the National Day files"
"Just kidding, Zidan is Ip Man, he can hit 10, I think the box office of this movie is also very good, whether it is Xu Ke's "Tongtian Empire" or Zhou Yutang's "Big Man", I am confident that I can beat them."
"It's too good to blow."
Mao Xiaoyu, who followed Zhou Yutang, couldn't stand it anymore: "Boss, I think you are still conservative, those two guys from Xiangjiang are too jumpy, and they actually stepped on "Big Man", do you want us to also send a press release and build up the momentum first?" ”
"There's no need, the early publicity is almost in place, and I have to go to the premiere over there in a few days."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a smile: "Let's wait and see, if the tone is too high, it may be difficult to step down in the end." ”
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the screening of "Big Man".
The Beijing Film Academy is particularly lively.
Zhou Yutang, as the man of the year on the cover of the enrollment manual of the Beijing Film Academy for several consecutive years, deserves the glory of Nortel, and this time the screening was placed in the small hall of the school, and the row was directly full.
The school has already put up a big red banner at the gate, and has also found a group of handsome female students as volunteers.
Yang Zi, who had just enrolled in school this year, pulled Guli Nazha in his dormitory, and said in an excited tone: "Nazha, thanks to you, I got the ticket." ”
Zhou Yutang's popularity in Nortel is not a joke.
If it doesn't matter, I really can't get this ticket.
Liu Mengmeng also sighed sincerely: "Senior Brother Zhou is really amazing, there are so many celebrities." ”
Today's Nortel can be said to be star-studded.
Except for Zhou Yutang, Hu Jun, Mei Ting and other main creators were all present.
Zeng Li, Zhang Songwen, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruojun, and Li Jun from Jiangdong Entertainment have also arrived.
Jiang Wen, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Xu Jinglei, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Xu Zheng, Zhang Guoli and others, Wang Jinghua and Chen Daoming and others all came over.
Professional film critics include Zhang Baiqing, Huang Huilin, Fu Hongxing, Zhang Wei, Wang Renyin, Ding Yaping, Peng Jiajin, Chen Xuguang, Wang Xudong, etc., all of whom are not general.
"Of course, my boss is the best."
A look of pride appeared on Gulnazar's delicate and good-looking face.
She looked forward to looking for Zhou Yutang's figure, but when she saw the figure in the stars, she suddenly felt a little humble.
After all, I was embarrassed to go up and say hello.
At this time, Zhou Yutang had just finished chatting with Jiang Wen.
After greeting a circle, Zhou Yutang took the main creative team to give a brief introduction on the stage, without much nonsense, and directly began to enter the film screening link.
All of you are professionals in the industry.
If the movie isn't good, it's useless for you to blow the sky.
If the movie is good, this group of people will naturally blow it for you.
The well-known film critic who had sat in a row began to sit up straight.
Zhou Yutang's first movie "Those Years" directed and starred in has given everyone a lot of surprises, and now this second movie is also sparing no effort to promote.
The trailer has already filled everyone's sense of anticipation.
The lawless rich second generation.
Experienced veteran cops.
Zhou Yutang played Zhao Tairen's arrogance into three points.
Hu Jun also brought that Sun Dasheng to life.
The two of them gave classic acting skills.
At the end of the film screening, there was a thunderous applause at the scene.
The critics were all clapping their hands and excitedly communicating with their peers.
Obviously.
Zhou Yutang's "Big Man" has been recognized by most people at the scene.
"Dare to shoot, and shoot well."
"Lao Tian, you closed disciple is okay."
"Don't kill young people, there's a lot of room for improvement."
Tian Xiangxiang squinted his eyes, but the smile on his face couldn't be concealed at all.
Several old men around him who were about the same age as him couldn't help but be speechless when they saw his happy expression.
Zhou Yutang has risen to the top, so do you still need to hold it?
There's still a lot of room for improvement.
What's the matter, your apprentice still wants to hit the moon?
Zhou Yutang didn't forget to come over and say hello to Tian Zhuangzhuang.
Don't look at these old men and old women, in fact, these older generation of filmmakers are a circle and have a considerable right to speak.
The screening ends.
Critics began to leave the scene.
There were already a lot of media reporters waiting outside the small hall.
These are all media that have a good relationship with Jiangdong Entertainment, because they can't bring shooting equipment inside, so they squatted at the door, ready to get first-hand interview materials.
There was another group of media reporters waiting outside the school gate.
The famous film critic Wang Xudong was helplessly blocked by several media, and an entertainment reporter almost stuffed the microphone into his mouth: "Mr. Wang, what is your evaluation of this movie?" ”
Wang Xudong said: "Zhou Yutang did not disappoint me, if nothing else, this movie should be the box office king of this year's National Day file." ”
Na Yu Ji immediately became excited: ""Inception" has not yet been released, and Zhang Yimou's "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and Xu Ke's "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire", Donnie Yen's "Jingwu Hero" will also be released, are you sure that Zhou Yutang's film will break out of the encirclement?" ”
"I'm sure."
Wang Xudong pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied seriously: "I can only say that this is a film with both commercial nature and depth of connotation, especially Zhou Yutang's performance, which makes me feel amazing."
"Mr. Wang, may I ask what happened to Zhou Yutang in the end?"
"Sorry, the plot of the movie can't be spoiled, everyone will know soon when the movie is released"
Looking at the crowd of people who refused to retreat, Wang Xudong had a new understanding of Zhou Yutang's popularity.
After finally answering the question here, I received a call from a colleague, and I stumbled under my feet.
There was also a circle of media reporters blocking the school gate, and the traffic was paralyzed.
Wang Xudong was shocked by Zhou Yutang's popularity, and suddenly thought of a very realistic problem.
The roads are blocked!
How does he get out!?
The next day.
Zhou Yutang hugged the beauty in Tsing Yi and slept until three poles in the sun.
I was too tired last night.
You have to recharge your batteries.
Today, I gave the people in the team around me a half-day off, but the conscientious Mao Xiaoyu called at ten o'clock, and his tone was quite excited:
"Boss, the news that Nortel was blocked yesterday has made headlines."
A light kiss on the cheek of the big beauty in Tsing Yi who is still sleeping.
Get up and wash up, then open your laptop and flip through the news.
There was a lot of movement at the screening of "Big Man", and the film critics worked overtime overnight when they went back.
Wang Xudong: "From the perspective of the script, the story of Zhou Yutang's play is very complete, whether it is the push-pull and panning of the camera, the tone of the picture, the scene or the shape of the characters, it is just right, the overall structure is also very complete, the rhythm is smooth, and it is the most potential film in the National Day file." ”
Zhang Baiqing: "The combination of fighting and humor in this drama can be regarded as a tribute to Cheng Long. But what impressed me the most was Zhou Yutang's performance, he used his acting skills to tell people that being out of position really does not depend on appearance, but also depends on acting skills, I can only say that he deserves to be the best actor at this year's Academy Awards. ”
Ding Yaping: "Zhou Yutang broke the shackles of his own image, a perverted chaebol son with unpredictable emotions and almost distorted heart, which made my back chill after watching it, and I felt hated when I got home, it is definitely a must-see movie for the National Day file." ”
Zhou Liming: "Zhou Yutang's second film directed and acted by himself is quite exciting, but I pay more attention to the social problems reflected in the film, which is indeed very profound, in the film, Zhao's Group does a real estate called Pearl River Garden, and the interesting thing is that the first real estate product started by the richest man in real estate is called Zhudao Garden, whether it is intentionally mapped is unknown, but it is undoubtedly thought-provoking."
Flipped through a few movie reviews.
It's basically all good reviews, but of course there are some sensationalist critics who are disagreeing.
Zhou Yutang nodded with satisfaction.
The National Day file war gradually kicked off.
Zhou Yutang has been busy with various schedules these days, and he has to find time to go to the recording studio to practice singing.
At the end of the month, he was a guest at Deng Ziqi's first concert in Beijing, and during this period, he also received an invitation from the light side to participate in the premiere of "Jingwu Fengyun" with Zeng Li.
Universe Dan and Liu Wei are high-spirited.
Li Xiaoping was worried, and Zhou Yutang quickly learned the reason.
This drama is a project done by Zhang Zhao of Light Pictures.
Led by Chen Jiashang, Liu Weiqiang was invited to be the director, and Universe Dan starred, using Shu Qi, Huang Laogou, Yu Wenle and a bunch of Xiangjiang people, Huang Bo could only play a supporting role in it.
The light is the main control, and Shanghai Film and Media Asia also participate in the investment.
This big production with a cost of 120 million yuan is also an important big project of light this year.
After watching the film.
Zhou Yutang crossed his legs, his expression was quite serious.
didn't participate in the drinking party, and went straight to the car to go home, Zeng Li asked with some curiosity: "Yu Tang, how do you feel?" ”
"To be honest, it's not good."
"Then why did you just look like that?"
"I'm trained and don't usually laugh."
"And what are you laughing at now?"
"I can't help it."
Zhou Yutang hugged the big beauty in Tsing Yi, and a slight arc gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
