Chapter 257: The immortal lineup, the premiere exploded
It's mid-November.
The lineup of "League of Thieves" has finally been officially announced.
This commercial blockbuster co-produced by the two countries with an investment of 120 million yuan immediately caused a sensation inside and outside the circle.
"Zhou Yutang is playing a bit big this time."
"Envy Zhou Gou, and unspoken goddess Lin Yun'er."
"This lineup is indeed top-notch luxury."
Zhou Yutang, the top of the new generation of popularity, + the older generation of superstars Liu Dehua, as well as Zhang Guoli and Huang Bo.
All the actors are the emperors.
Fan Binbin, one of the leading actresses, is also the most popular among the big flowers, and she is also the double queen of Hundred Flowers and the Tokyo International Film Festival.
There are also two other female leads, Jiang Wenli and Zeng Li, who are the queen of the three grand slams of domestic TV dramas.
What kind of fairy lineup is this!?
Even the supporting roles on the South Korean side are not stretched.
Huang Zhengmin is a powerful actor who has won many awards and has an excellent reputation.
Kim so-hyun is also a hot new generation of popular students in South Korea, not to mention Lin Yuna, Girls' Generation has completely taken off this year, and after the popularity swept South Korea, she entered neon and released her first Japanese album, which directly got the Neon Record Industry Association's million album certification.
This is the Asian women's group that benchmarks TVXQ.
As the face of the group, Lin Yuna is also the highest member of the group, and even if she shows her face in it, it will inevitably attract a large number of fans to the cinema to watch.
As for Zhi'en-chan who brought money into the group, she
She doesn't have a lot of faces.
Then come over and silently make a soy sauce and carry a coffee.
After the official announcement of the lineup, Zhou Yutang didn't need to do it, and China Film directly arranged the press release.
This kind of large-scale project co-produced by the two countries wants influence, and there are a lot of resources that can be used, and the crew is still in the preliminary preparations, and it has already received considerable attention.
"Boss Zhou, your movie is really amazing."
Hu Jing asked with some gossip: "When are you going to start filming?" ”
"It's probably going to be next year."
The beauty in Tsing Yi made tea for him, Zhou Yutang raised the teacup with a smile, took a sip gently, looked at this elegantly decorated teahouse, nodded and praised:
"Sister Pear, the taste is good, and the decoration is quite feeling."
"Don't just praise your Sister Pear, is it okay to praise your Sister Jing?"
Hu Jing is also an old acquaintance who knows the relationship between Zhou Yutang and Zeng Li, and joked with Zhou Yutang: "The whole design and decoration, we watched it together." ”
"Sister Jing, you also have a lot of credit."
Zhou Yutang put down the teacup and laughed softly.
This teahouse called "Tea Rhyme" was invested and opened by Zeng Li and her good friend Hu Jing, and Zhou Yutang also participated in it.
It's not to make money, he usually has a good place to receive friends.
Zhou Yutang and Hu Jing were chatting, but Zeng Li was seriously looking at the script in his hand, and asked with some curiosity: "Yu Tang, do you want to make a sequel to the script of "League of Thieves"?" ”
"You can see that."
"The movie hasn't started filming, and you're ready to do a sequel?"
Hu Jing was slightly stunned, and couldn't help blurting out: "What kind of operation is this, aren't you afraid of losing money?" ”
She debuted earlier than Zeng Li, and she is also an experienced veteran actor, so she knows the current situation of the film industry in the circle.
It seems that thousands of horses are together, and the prosperity is abnormal, but in the end, there are few who can come out.
Zhou Yutang's movie has not started filming, and the serial episodes are ready.
It is no exaggeration to say that none of the three major domestic directors dared to do this, and Xiaogang Pao also started the sequel plan only after seeing that "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" made money.
"That's how Hollywood plays."
Zhou Yutang poured himself another cup of tea, and explained a little to this sister in a relaxed manner.
This time I went to Hollywood, my horizons were broadened a lot, and I had a deeper understanding of the operation of the mature system of the film industry.
Hollywood studios don't want to make blockbusters with a pat on the head, and usually after doing market research and investigation in advance, when the project is established, they are ready for a sequel to the later series.
Of course.
If the market doesn't react well, then it's as if nothing happened.
After all, investing in movies is very risky, and no one dares to guarantee that the movies made will make a steady profit, and large companies in the industry such as Huayi and Guangguang often lose money.
It is very important to ensure the stable profitability of the film company, and when Zhou Yutang was working on the script of "League of Thieves", he had already left a reversal and foreshadowing in advance.
As long as the market performance of the film is within the expected range.
Then there are even bigger surprises waiting for the audience.
"It's really amazing."
Hu Jing was stunned by what Zhou Yutang said, but she felt a great sense of respect in her heart.
The man who can make the big pear follow him with all his heart is really not a simple character.
This pattern and ability are all top-notch.
The key is that he is also really good to big pears.
Zeng Li will soon have a heavyweight drama that has been building momentum for a long time.
The long-awaited "The Legend of Zhen Huan" by countless viewers is about to be broadcast on a four-star simulcast.
Zhou Yutang and Jiangdong Entertainment's official WeChat, and Zeng Li, Zhang Songwen, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruojun and other Jiangdong Entertainment's artists have forwarded it.
Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Deng Chao and other artists and stars who have a good relationship with Zhou Yutang also forwarded the news that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will be broadcast on the evening of the 17th.
On the premise that the publicity has been done in the early stage, add the last fire.
The power of online publicity cannot be ignored, especially with so many stars in the circle, and at the same time promoting such a drama, it has also attracted the curiosity of many passers-by and audiences.
"The drama made by Zhou Yutang and Zheng Xiaolong is definitely worth watching."
"Invest hundreds of millions, if I'm not mistaken, Zhou Yutang's last TV series with an investment of hundreds of millions was "You from the Stars".
"At that time, it didn't seem to break 100 million, remember that the publicity was 80 million production costs."
"It's a bit slow, but you can watch it."
"It turns out that Concubine Hua was played by Jiang Xin? Mu Wan in Tianlong Babu is halal. ”
After the first day of broadcasting, the comments on the Internet were generally positive.
In recent years, the film and television dramas from Zhou Yutang's hands are all high-quality.
Many passers-by and viewers saw the TV series produced by Zhou Yutang, and directly gave a good praise before watching it.
Of course, it is difficult to reconcile the crowd, and there are also some audiences who feel that the pace is not fast enough and are not interested in court dramas.
This is a court drama with a total of 76 episodes, and the whole plot is gradual and eloquent.
It's not just people who eat melons on the Internet who are watching the excitement.
The industry is also paying attention.
Zhou Yutang has supported a large number of experts and commentators in the field of film and television.
Every time his film and television works are released, many experts in the field of film and television will make remarks.
This time, most experts are not very optimistic about a slow-paced court drama like 76 episodes.
"According to the law of the recent TV drama market, most of the popular dramas are about 30 episodes, and Zhou Yutang and Zheng Xiaolong's "The Legend of Zhen Huan", a 76-episode TV series, is actually a challenge for the audience's viewing experience."
"The ratings on the first day are very likely to be poor, so I am cautiously optimistic."
"Zhou Yutang, the king of domestic ratings, defeated the battle of Maicheng."
The experts pointed out the country and expressed their opinions, but when the premiere ratings came out, they directly closed their mouths.
The ratings of the current TV series are above 1.5, which can barely be regarded as a high-quality product, and many people originally thought that the premiere of this drama would probably be the level of the ratings breaking one.
Unexpectedly, the premiere of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" directly broke two.
"Boss, the premiere is 2.58!"
When Mao Xiaoyu ran over to report, his tone was full of excitement: "The rating of our show is 2.58!" ”
"Oh? Not bad. ”
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, and continued to talk to several people in the screenwriter's studio about the script of "Please Answer 1997".
"Is it okay?"
"Worthy of the boss."
Liu Wanhui, Bao Jingjing, and Pingjie and others, looking at Zhou Yutang's cloudy and light expression, also secretly smashed their tongues.
The ratings of the premiere directly broke two, and basically the hit works have been booked, but the result is just okay?
Thinking of Zhou Yutang's brilliant achievements, everyone was quickly relieved.
The background of "Please Answer 1997" has changed, and the overall plot has to be adjusted accordingly, but the core of the whole story has not changed.
Especially the heroine Shiyuan, this character is especially real and brilliant.
This is not the white poor beauty destined to be with the rich second generation in ordinary youth idol dramas.
She has a big temperament, she will be excited when she sees a star in Xiangjiang, she will be overwhelmed when she meets someone she likes, she will be funny when she gets along with her friends, and she will feel aggrieved and sad because of her parents' incomprehension
The audience can see the real growth process in the protagonists of this drama, as if they have experienced the friendship, family, and love that ordinary people will experience.
The result is an unparalleled resonance.
This is the power to touch people's feelings.
Several screenwriters, including August Chang'an, are all emotionally delicate girls.
Listening to Zhou Yutang talking about the character design and plot details at the meeting, I couldn't help but bring it in, and I was a little moved.
They glanced at each other and had a consensus in their hearts: "This drama may be another classic of domestic youth campus dramas." ”
"Xiao Li, have the statistical results of the data department come out?"
Since the broadcast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the first thing the director of Hui Provincial TV Station does when he enters the office every morning is to ask his assistant: "How are the ratings after the fourth episode is broadcast?" ”
Assistant Xiao Li had already prepared in advance.
Take out the manuscript paper that you have prepared from the database.
"The rating of episode 4 is 3.09%, the single-day peak is 3.63%, and the viewership share is 6.59%."
"What? You are not mistaken. ”
The director of Hui Provincial Taiwan was dumbfounded and stunned for a few seconds.
"Director, I just went to the data department in the morning to get the data, and I checked it several times."
Assistant Xiao Li swallowed his saliva and explained.
The director of the Hui Provincial Station even breathed a little short, and stood up from his seat: "Show me the data." ”
After taking the thin stack of paper and looking it up and down, the director of the Hui Provincial Station quickly laughed.
At the beginning, the ratings of breaking two were already considered a hit drama, so now they are directly breaking three, this is about to take off!?
"Leader, this drama has the potential to become a phenomenal hit."
Assistant Xiao Li observed the words and found that the director was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to ask: "How did you decide to buy this drama in the first place?" ”
"To do great things, you have to be bold."
The director of Hui Provincial Station began to point out: "I bought this drama, not only because of the excellence of this drama, after all, no one can guarantee what the ratings of the TV series will be, the important thing is to watch people, Zhou Yutang is a person worth investing in"
"The vision and courage of the leader are really extraordinary."
Listening to the leader Balabala, assistant Xiao Li's face just rightly appeared with a look of understanding the truth of life, and he said with great admiration: "I still have a lot to learn." ”
The emotions flow out silky.
It almost doesn't smell that much.
"Go and inform the others, get ready for a meeting."
The director of Hui Provincial Station pointed his finger at the assistant Xiao Li, his face was full of red light, and he laughed.
This is simply a pie falling from the sky and smashing on the head of Hui Shengtai.
As a leader who gritted his teeth and nodded, he approved the budget for next year's film purchase budget to buy this drama.
It was as if he had felt the flowers and applause that awaited him at the high-level meeting of the TV station.
