Chapter 334: The King of Comedy, the Big Brother Who Takes the Lead

After only staying in the crew of "Unborn" for half a day, Zhou Yutang left.

On the way, I received a call from Zhou Shufang: "Mr. Zhou, check it out, the two people you are talking about are Xiu Rui and Qiao Bin, comedians." ”

"It's from "Laughing Room", right?"

"Mr. Zhou, have you heard of it?"

"I've seen a little bit and the response is good."

Listening to Zhou Shufang introducing the backgrounds of those people, Zhou Yutang's eyebrows rose slightly.

The program "Love Laughing Conference Room" is the first close-up hilarious short drama performance group program in the Celestial Empire, and since it appeared on the screen last year, it has a high network hit rate and is quite influential.

The show is funny, and it has been on Weibo several hot searches.

This Xiu Rui and Qiao Bin played supporting roles in the crew of "Unborn", and they just had a funny background.

Zhou Yutang chuckled and asked, "Those two, do you have a brokerage company?" ”

Zhou Shufang obviously made all the preparations: "I have signed with the company, but I got the news that after the "Love Laughing Meeting Room" became popular last year, the itinerary arranged by the brokerage company over there was very full, and there was very little rest time, and many people in that team had opinions."

"Well, let's get in touch first, it's a good comedy actor."

"Mr. Zhou, the company's side is going to prepare a comedy?"

Zhou Shufang asked, and at the same time wrote down the names of Qiao Bin and Xiu Rui.

"Comedy will also be a popular movie genre in the future, and it is very suitable for the Spring Festival, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely do it."

Zhou Yutang gave Zhou Shufang a brief description of the company's strategic goals.

Comedy is a film genre that will never go out of style, which is based on the audience's most basic viewing needs.

There are many audiences who pursue the depth and connotation of the movie.

But a large part of the audience, limited by their own conditions and heavy reality, the biggest appeal of watching movies is not to be educated, nor to be tear-jerking.

They just want to watch a funny movie.

As long as it makes them laugh, it's a success.

It's a pity that in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer comedies like this in China.

Mainly after Zhou Yuchi, domestic comedy special actors have a bit of a successor.

That kind of actor with his own laughter is unique and very rare.

is like Stephen Chow, as long as he stands there, he can make the audience want to laugh.

The era of belonging to the star master has passed.

Who will be the new king of comedy?

In Zhou Yutang's mind, a person's name gradually emerged.

There are no accidents in this year's Golden Rooster Awards, and they are still playing steadily.

Feng Xiaogang, Xu Fan, Zhang Jingchu, Guo Fucheng, Jiang Wenli and other people who got the nomination probably knew the result, but none of them attended.

On the way to the company's meeting, Zhou Yutang listened to his assistant Mao Xiaoyu complaining: "Boss, we seem to have won the best photography and best art awards."

"It's all leftovers."

Zhou Yutang had already received the news and was not surprised by this result.

As a new commercial film director who has successively set box office records for Celestial Dynasty films, Zhou Yutang has won many nominations.

But the movies he made, but they were commercial in nature, did not meet the taste of the Golden Rooster judges, and it is understandable that he did not win an award.

is Xiaogang Cannon's "Tangshan Earthquake", which can also be said to be the main theme movie, won eight nominations, and finally won a best music.

Before, Xiaogang Cannon thought that this year's award was stable, and he licked the Golden Rooster Award on Weibo, saying that the Golden Rooster Award keeps pace with the times and is getting better and better.

It's embarrassing right now.

He secretly deleted the original Weibo.

I guess the more I think about it, the more angry I get.

Shi can be tolerated, who is unbearable.

At the end of the Golden Rooster Award ceremony, the small steel cannon fired directly, drenching the dogs scolded by the Golden Rooster judges.

On the contrary, Jiangdong Entertainment's newly signed director Lu Yang defeated Jiang Wenli and won the Rookie Director Award with "Blind Cinema", which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

"Boss, Director Feng is very angry."

"I'll see."

Zhou Yutang took the mobile phone and ate melons to have fun.

Mao Xiaoyu came over to take a look, and was slightly stunned: "Boss, didn't you watch Director Feng scolding, why did you brush up the red carpet photos of female stars?" ”

"Fan Binbin is not here, this year's Golden Rooster red carpet is almost meaningless."

"Oh, man."

Mao Xiaoyu's expression twitched slightly, and he complained silently in his heart.

I have to say that the current red carpet is really becoming more and more open.

Even Liu Xiaoqing ran out to show off her career line, and there is a tender model named Zhou Weitong, who is even more emulated by Yuan Li, who penetrated the visual dress on the red carpet of the Huabiao Awards.

Wrapped only in black tulle.

Looming, evoking reverie.

The audience is in for a treat.

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" finally finished its release period, and finally received 518 million.

It is rare that Mr. Han did not extend the screening of this movie.

It's not that he has a big pattern, the box office ceiling of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" is obvious, this year's KPI is very beautiful, and then there is the Hollywood blockbuster "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" that will soon land in domestic theaters, and the task of this imported blockbuster will be handed over to another main theme movie "Xinhai Revolution".

"Painted Wall" was then painted, with a total box office of 282 million.

"The Legend of the White Snake" ended dismally, with a total box office of only 202 million.

The National Day file has gradually come to an end, and the publicity of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" has also reached the final stage.

Zhou Yutang went to attend a meeting of film production and distribution companies in the industry,

"Director Zhou, the movie is almost finished, right?"

"Hehe, almost."

"Yu Tang, it's rare to see you."

The meeting I attended today was an exchange meeting of industry film bosses led by Zhang Weiping of New Pictures.

The CEOs of several major film production and distribution companies such as New Picture, China Film, Huayi, Bona, Xingmei, and Guangguang are all there.

Zhou Yutang's arrival undoubtedly made the scene more lively.

In the circle, there are many meetings like this, and Zhou Yutang rarely participates.

Because of this kind of meeting, there is basically no dry goods to come, most of them are eating and drinking, hello and me, and business blows each other.

But Han Sanping informed him that there was heavy news today, so Zhou Yutang came over to take a look.

"Mr. Han, what's the situation?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

Han Sanping patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder with a smile and pulled him to sit down.

Soon, the meeting officially began.

Zhang Weiping, as the leader, made a big move directly at the beginning: "Everyone here is a peer, and they must know that Director Zhou won 1.1 billion box office in the summer this year, which is a good start for everyone, and it also shows the maturity of the film audience of the Celestial Empire and the further expansion of the market."

Eating melons and eating himself, Zhou Yutang calmly drank his saliva, and continued to listen to Zhang Dacang pointing at the PPT to release the cannon,

"I have been doing this industry for many years, according to the current trend, I make a bold judgment, this year's Celestial Empire Film Market theater box office is expected to hit 15 billion yuan, becoming the third largest market for world films after North America and neon, and go further."

Zhang Weiping's voice became more and more impassioned, scolding Fang Xuan and pointing at the country: "In this case, I think that the proportion of the producer's share should be changed, and there should be an appropriate improvement on the original basis, this requirement is absolutely reasonable."

The scene was in an uproar, and Zhou Yutang was also taken aback.

What a blockbuster cannon.

With the reform of the domestic cinema system, the box office sharing model of movies is very clear.

At the beginning, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" created the box office myth of domestic films, and producer Zhang Weiping also gained the right to speak that the producers did not have in the past, and asked to increase the producer's account sharing ratio to 40%.

Later, in "Ambush on All Sides", the proportion of the film's account sharing increased to 41%.

When doing "The City is Full of Golden Armor", this number rose to 42%, and then Mr. Guang proposed that the producer's account share should not be less than 43%, so he set the rules.

Today, Zhang Dacang wants to raise it on the basis of 43%.

Such a major event involves almost the entire film industry, and the interests involved are very large, so it is naturally impossible to negotiate immediately.

Zhou Yutang did not speak at the meeting.

But according to his observations.

Wang Zhonglei expressed his support on the spot.

Yu Dong was very excited about the fat man.

Xingmei's boss has been discussing with the people around him

"Mr. Zhou."

went down to the parking lot, Zhou Yutang was unexpectedly stopped by Zhang Weiping, who caught up: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

"Mr. Zhang's pattern is big."

Zhou Yutang praised without a trace: "Only Mr. Zhang can handle such a big thing." ”

"So, Zhou always supported it?"

A touch of joy appeared on Zhang Weiping's face.

The domestic first-line commercial film director, plus the CEO of Jiangdong Entertainment, these two dazzling identities are added together.

If Zhou Yutang nodded, then he was very confident in this negotiation with the theater line.

Zhou Yutang smiled leisurely: "Mr. Zhang's proposal is a good thing for the entire industry, and I have no reason not to support it." ”

"Then there will be a meeting with the theater in a few days, and Mr. Zhou will come over?"

Zhang Weiping hit the snake with the stick, holding Zhou Yutang's shoulder, and his tone was extremely affectionate.

The boss who can be a national teacher has a very good set of things, and his voice is full of demagogy: "With Mr. Zhou here, I think this thing can be done." ”

Zhou Yutang didn't get on the set, but still politely declined: "Mr. Zhang, I've been very busy in the late stage of the movie recently, and I'm about to join the group again, so I really can't spare time." ”

"That's a shame."

"With the weight in Mr. Zhang's circle, it's enough to use me."

After some tugging, get in the car and flash people.

Just returned to the company, I talked to someone from the film business department about it, and received a call from Han Sanping again: "Yu Tang, Zhang Weiping went to find you?" ”

"Hmm."

"What do you think?"

Zhou Yutang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, lit a cigarette, and looked at the bustling night scene of the capital.

"Of course I have no opinion."

"You agreed to take the lead in a meeting with the theater chain with Zhang Dacang?" Han Sanping's tone was slightly surprised.

"If he has experience, let him come forward and talk."

It seems that Han Sanping has a lot of resentment towards Zhang Weiping, and Zhou Yutang smiled.

Increasing the share ratio is naturally beneficial to the producer.

Especially in today's rapid development of the film market, the box office of movies will get higher and higher, and every time the share ratio is raised, it is a lot of benefits.

But let him go out of the limelight and benefit the entire industry producers.

Zhou Yutang is not so great.

This thing is not so easy as imagined, it must be pulled back and forth, and it is impossible for the theater party to sell benefits so simply.

With this time and energy, he might as well go to time management.

Take the lead, big brother, just leave it to Zhang Dacang.

…………………………

ps: Suddenly it cooled down, and I caught a cold again, brothers should pay attention to keeping warm.
