Last year's Chinese New Year's "People in Embarrassment".

The production cost was 10 million, and the follow-up publicity cost was 18 million.

In the end, it got a box office of 438 million.

A box office miracle was created.

This year's "Thai Embarrassment", the production cost is 40 million, and the publicity cost is also higher than that of "People in Embarrassment".

The accumulation of heat in the early stage, the fermentation of good reputation, and the promotion of roadshows all over the country by Xu Guangtou's main creative team during the Chinese New Year.

aroused the great enthusiasm of fans to watch the movie, and the box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year directly reported 68.51 million!

This box office trend is even more exaggerated than "People in Embarrassment".

Zhou Yutang sneaked out with the little koi, and the car directly on the underground garage did not attract attention.

On the way home to send the little koi home, I received a call from Huo Wenxi: "Yu Tang, happy new year, congratulations on the box office success of "Thai Embarrassment". ”

"Happy New Year, Sister Mani."

Zhou Yutang responded with a smile.

Although Yinghuang and Zhou Yutang are in the New Year.

The box office of the movie has to be divided into high and low, but the parties on both sides are still polite.

It's all about the data.

Yinghuang is the main controller of these two big productions that have locked the Lunar New Year file, and the box office is not enough for the small-budget comedy "Thai Embarrassment".

The loss was complete.

If Yinghuang Group wants to make progress in its business in the mainland, it also needs to look at "Kill the Wolf 2" with Zhou Yutang this year.

Huo Wenxi called, in addition to congratulating "Thai Embarrassment" on the box office sales, he asked Zhou Yutang when he would start work.

"Return to the capital on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

Zhou Yutang thought about it, chatted briefly with Huo Wenxi for a while, and then hung up the phone.

The little koi next to him listened with his ears pricked up, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Yu Tang, that sister said that the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" is expected to break 700 million, so how much can you make?" ”

"It's not much, let's start with a small goal."

Zhou Yutang smiled leisurely.

He's in a good mood too.

"How much is the small goal?"

"One hundred million."

“.”

Yang Chaoyue raised her white and tender hand and counted them.

With so many zeros, my head is a little dizzy when I think about it.

looked at Zhou Yutang beside him again, and his eyes naturally revealed some admiration.

It's not just Huo Wenxi who is envious.

Who in the film production company in the circle is not red-eyed?

Experts from all walks of life in the film and television industry analyzed the box office performance of "Thai Embarrassment".

The reason why the embarrassing series of comedy movies can be black to the end is because of the foil of peers.

Last year, Huang Baiming's "The Strongest Happy Event 2011" unexpectedly pulled his hips, and this year's Yinghuang Group's double insurance box office was dismal.

"This drama made me laugh, it was a success!"

"I'm going to take my parents to the theater to spend money to watch it again, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiao are too funny."

"It's the funniest movie I've seen this year."

"Laugh until tears come out!"

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and there are many spoofs in the movie, which arouse the disgust of some audiences.

But the vast majority of the audience gave praise after watching the movie, with a Douban score of 8.7 points and a Maoyan movie score of 9.5.

For a comedy movie, being able to make the audience forget the troubles of reality and laugh out loud in the cinema is already a successful work.

Xu Guangtou never thought that he would have such a wonderful start.

According to Wang Baoqiao, Xu Guangtou woke up laughing from a dream for several nights in a row.

The main creative members of the crew were excited, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, they were still running roadshows in other places.

Zhou Yutang is not ambiguous, hundreds of thousands of red envelopes have been distributed alone, Xu Guangtou and Wang Baoqiao and Huang Bo's leading actors also have big red envelopes.

"Thai Embarrassment" is more well-made than "People in Embarrassment", the rhythm is better controlled, and it has such a festive atmosphere during the New Year.

Because of the excellent attendance, the film schedule is also further improved.

Such a time, place, and completeness.

Zhou Yutang felt that Huo Wenxi might still be a little conservative.

At present, according to the analysis of the box office data, it is judged that the box office drop point is about 700 million, but the potential of this Chinese New Year stall has not been fully tapped.

"Thai Embarrassment" has the potential to be a big hit.

Perhaps, there are unexpected surprises?

……

The unexpected surprise he was waiting for was not late.

"Thai Embarrassment" received 69.65 million at the box office on the second day of the Lunar New Year, once again setting a new record for the highest single-day box office of a comedy, and also further increasing the box office potential of "Thai Embarrassment".

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Yutang went to his grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings.

The reunion of long-lost relatives is particularly eager.

Seeing Zhou Yutang, the old man was also smiling.

In addition, the happiest person is Lin Mengmeng, who jumped up and down: "Brother, can you ask me for a signed card of Lin Yun'er in Girls' Generation?" ”

"Are you a fan of her?"

"Uh-huh."

Lin Mengmeng wore a pair of pink-rimmed glasses, and nodded like a chick pecking rice: "I think Yun'er is like me, there are many similarities"

"I really don't see anything similar to the two of you other than that they're both women."

"Nasty!"

Lin Mengmeng rolled her eyes, leaned over, and said ghostly: "Cousin, in fact, if you two are together, you are really a good match, I support Yun'er as my sister-in-law." ”

"One, too little, your gifts, I'm ready."

Zhou Yutang touched Lin Mengmeng's head with a smile.

"You're the best cousin in the world."

Lin Mengmeng grinned and smiled extremely happily.

However, her joy lasted until she received her cousin's deep love.

The outer packaging is a delicate sticker.

Layer by layer, carefully unravel.

The smile on Lin Mengmeng's face gradually stiffened, solidified on his face, and finally slowly disappeared and transferred to Zhou Yutang's face: "Auntie, I heard that Mengmeng has reached high school, this stage is very critical, you must calm down and study"

A complete set of questions from all disciplines of the college entrance examination over the years, plus lectures by famous teachers in all disciplines of the college entrance examination.

Lin Mengmeng, who was smashed, almost fainted, her body shook slightly, and she sat on the ground with her buttocks.

"Mengmeng, stand up."

The aunt was happy: "Why don't you thank your cousin?" ”

……

Zhou Yutang returned to the capital on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the finishing work of "Bouquet of Love" was over, and he needed to confirm it.

When I came to the company, the first thing I saw was two girls wearing professional skirts at the front desk.

These two girls are locals in Beijing, and one of them received a red envelope for starting work, smiling like a flower: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou." ”

Mao Xiaoyu cut her hair short during the New Year, looking more capable, and she looked a little bit like a strong woman, "Boss, you are getting more and more handsome in the New Year." ”

"Is there one?"

Zhou Yutang pulled the collar of his shirt: "Is the ppt ready?" ”

“……”

Mao Xiaoyu sighed and nodded.

I did PPT on the first day of work, and there was no one left.

Soon, the people from the TV drama business department walked into the conference room.

"In the first half of the year, the company will open two dramas at the same time......"

Zhou Yutang stood up, faced the projection screen, and began to arrange work.

Mao Xiaoyu's information is very detailed, and in the first half of this year, the company's main work was "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo".

The preliminary preparations for "Why Sheng Xiaomo" are almost done.

Zhao Mosheng of Tang Yan and He Yichen of King Kai Kai were all decided in advance.

There is a certain degree of difficulty in adapting the script of "Celebrating More Than Years", because the greasy original work has nearly 4 million words, and it is impossible to shoot it all.

Zhou Yutang used the form of seasons, and the outline he personally made asked Wang Hao to work with the screenwriters of the Jiangdong Entertainment Creation Center to write the first 46-episode book.

The plot goes from Lanzhou to Kyoto, and ends in Fan Xian's mission to Northern Qi.

This group drama is not only the protagonist Fan Xian, but also Lin Wan'er, Fan Ruoruo, Teng Zijing, Chen Pingping, Wang Qinian and others in the protagonist camp.

Even the supporting roles such as Li Yunrui and Emperor Qing can leave a deep impression on the audience.

Fan Xian, the actor of "Celebrating More Than Years", is determined to be played by Zhou Yutang, and the heroine Lin Wan'er digests it internally and decides Li Jun.

For the rest of the roles, Chen Pingping set Teacher Wu Gang, and Wang Qinian handed it over to Teacher Tian Yu, Sister Tang's ex-boyfriend who had worked with her

Arrange the work simply, and leave the rest to Jiang Xuejing for docking, and Zhou Yutang and Director Kong Sheng sat in the office drinking tea together.

A few years ago, through the relationship between King Kaikai, Zhou Yutang successfully caught the line of the noon sun.

In this project, Kong Sheng was invited to direct the drama himself, with the filming team of Jiangdong Entertainment.

It is difficult to find a good director in the circle, and Director Kong Sheng is the top brand of Noon Sunshine, and he is also a powerful director with a good reputation in the circle.

This time, in the face of the olive branch thrown by Zhou Yutang, he was a little surprised and surprised.

After thinking about it again, he politely refused at first, because he had another project in his hand, "Wenzhou Family", which was being filmed.

However, Zhou Yutang did not give up, he knew it with affection and moved it with benefit.

After several negotiations, I finally invited this big Buddha.

In today's domestic film and television industry, no one can ignore the influence of Jiangdong Entertainment.

Noon Sunshine just got out of the mountain shadow last year, and it was trying to develop, so it was naturally impossible to refuse the strategic cooperation agreement thrown by Jiangdong Entertainment.

Participating in Jiangdong Entertainment's S-level costume project with an investment of more than 100 million yuan is also very tempting for director Kong Sheng.

"Mr. Zhou, the role of Emperor Qing, it is best to come to Chen Daoming."

Director Kong Sheng looked at the casting materials of "Celebrating More Than Years" in the office and gave his opinion.

"Sister Hua will come over later, and I'll talk to her."

Zhou Yutang approved Director Kong Sheng's proposal.

The company's casting department has made several plans, and Chen Daoming is at the forefront of the selection of Emperor Qing.

It is very suitable for him to play this kind of scheming emperor.

There are a lot of roles left, and they are still tryout, but the preparation period for this drama is relatively long, Zhou Yutang may have to go to Berlin in February, and he will first participate in the filming of "Jingzhong Yue Fei", and Director Kong Sheng will also rush back to the crew of "Wenzhou Family", so the start time will continue to be delayed.

The two talked happily, and saw Mao Xiaoyu poking out his head and knocking on the door, "Boss, Sister Hua is here." ”

"Ask someone to come in."

Zhou Yutang stopped talking.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her eyes and saw that Wang Jinghua led a young man who looked a little green into the office.

Before anyone arrived, Wang Jinghua's laughter came in first: "Yu Tang, do you still have guests here?" ”

The two are also old acquaintances who have dealt with each other many times, Zhou Yutang got up and led people to sit down in the hospitality area, Wang Jinghua and Director Kong Sheng also knew each other, and passively exchanged a few words.

"Mr. Zhou, Director Kong, let me introduce you to you."

Wang Jinghua said with a smile: "This is my son, school holidays, bring him to see the world." ”

Seeing that the young man secretly looked at Zhou Yutang with his eyes, and there was a hint of excitement in his expression, Wang Jinghua pulled his clothes: "Zijian is a fan of President Zhou, this kid is so happy." ”

"Yu Tang's popularity is indeed very high."

Director Kong Sheng also laughed.

Dong Zijian was as obedient as a little sheep, and greeted them one by one: "Mr. Zhou, hello, Director Kong, hello." ”

"You're still in high school, aren't you?"

"Well, it's my third year of high school this year."

"The conditions are good, and I will develop towards the entertainment industry in the future, and I have the potential to become popular."

Hearing Zhou Yutang's words, Dong Zijian was visibly happy, and Wang Jinghua was also smiling.

Zhou Yutang's words scratched her itch.

In fact.

With Wang Jinghua paving the way for him, he doesn't worry about resources at all, even if it's a pig, he can take it away.
