Happiness came so suddenly.

Guo Fan was slightly stunned, feeling as if he was dreaming, and when he came to his senses, his heart was still beating after a long time.

He swallowed his saliva and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou." ”

"What's polite, your own people."

Zhou Yutang didn't paint him a big cake, some things just need to be done, but there is no need to say much.

Wen Muye's "Rescue Mr. Wu" resisted several imported blockbusters and won a good box office.

Lu Yang's debut "Embroidered Spring Knife" is even more amazing, and it can rank in the top ten of the year in the box office list of domestic films.

The two have become famous one after another, and now they are both well-known new generation directors in the circle.

Zhou Yutang's expectations for Guo Fan, one of the three major generals in Jiangdong, do not stop there.

The sequel to "Shocking Demon Thieves", he is ready to hand it over to Guo Fan to practice.

After that, there are more important projects to be handed over to him, which can be regarded as accumulating experience for him in advance.

Of course.

It's not that Zhou Yutang doesn't care about it at all.

He himself served as the executive producer, in charge of the final editing rights of the film, and controlled the overall quality of the film.

Anyway, the theme of this series of movies is very clear, that is, a fast-paced commercial film with grand theft elements and a thrilling and dazzling magic show, mixed with some laughs.

Two more spin-offs may also be made during this period, continuing to refine the framework of the entire cinematic crime universe.

Of course, these are all later words, and the most important thing at the moment is the battle in front of us.

"Come on, Xiao Zhou!"

Liu Yifei was in Switzerland, and she took Aunt Liu to the Alps, and she didn't forget to send her blessings.

"When will you be back?"

After receiving a call from Liu Yifei, the fatigue caused by the hurried movie roadshow schedule faded, and Zhou Yutang's voice became soft unconsciously.

"In two days, I've got a special watch for you, hehe."

"Didn't you give one away before?"

"That's different, this watch, it's my idea, let the designer design it, there are special characters in it."

Liu Yifei's voice was delicate and good, but Zhou Yutang rubbed the corners of his forehead, feeling that Little Miss Liu seemed to mean something, could it be that he was too careful?

He turned his head and threw these distractions out of his mind.

On the third day, the box office reported 95.27 million.

On the 4th day of release, it happened to be Saturday, and the single-day box office reported 125 million, blatantly breaking the box office record of 114 million yuan held by the imported blockbuster "Transformers 3" on the same day!

"Isn't it crazy!?"

Huayi's little Mr. Wang was holding a publicity meeting for "Zodiac", looking at the data report sent by the film department, and was stunned for a long time with Chen Guofu, Cheng Long and others, before his lips moved: "Zhou Yutang is going to heaven." ”

"There is a week to go, and it is the premiere of "Zodiac."

Cheng Long touched his big nose with some luck, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Fortunately, Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang set the tone and delayed the release, otherwise if they meet head-on, I don't know what the scene will be"

When the meeting was postponed, Cheng Lung was very loud and opposed.

He feels that although Zhou Yutang has a prominent record, he has also been popular for decades, has countless fans, and is not afraid of a frontal battle at all, and he can still hype up the topic when the time comes.

Now seeing this amazing box office data, the arrogance in Cheng Long's heart suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by convincing admiration.

"At least, avoid the edge."

Chen Guofu also rubbed his forehead and muttered, "I have a strong premonition that this time, Yu Tang may have to set a lot of records." ”

"Whew!"

The fat man of Bo Na ripped open the collar of his shirt with a sweaty head, his belly was straight, panting, and Wang Wei, the vice president next to him, handed over a tissue with great insight.

"The air conditioning was a bit hot."

wiped the cold sweat that broke out in shock, and threw aside the box office report of "Shocking Demon Thieves", Yu Fatman's voice was a little empty: "At the premiere of "Big Shanghai", did you communicate with Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Yanfa? ”

"It's all arranged, Mr. Yu."

"Send more press releases, and we will meet head-on in a few days."

As soon as he thought of that terrible opponent, Yu Fatzi felt a little numb on his scalp, and muttered: "If I knew it earlier, I would have said it in January."

"Shocking Demon Thieves" is unbeatable, and it dominates the Lunar New Year stalls strongly, it can be said that people block and kill, and gods block and kill gods.

Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast" has been forced to be released in advance, with a total box office of 78.75 million, and Taro probably cried into tears.

And the small steel cannon that pointed at 1 billion at the beginning also returned, "1942" struggled through 200 million, and the daily box office fell to more than 2 million, and it looks like it is about to run out.

"Youth Pi", which was expected to hit the box office of 600 million, is also weakening, and Maoyan predicts that the total box office will be about 560 million.

The siphon effect of the film market began to occur, and the end of the confrontation with this box office monster was very miserable, and the box office of "Shocking Demon Thieves" had reached 485 million in the first five days of its release.

Kill the entire Lunar New Year corpses all over the field.

Inside and outside the circle, all eyes were focused on Zhou Yutang.

Countless discussions and evaluations about movies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

"Yu Tang's film brought a big surprise to the audience, from a commercial point of view alone, it may be the best film of the year, I was shocked when I saw the single-day box office record of "Transformers 3", but I was also pleasantly surprised, which shows that the environment of our entire Celestial Empire film market is getting better and better." Zhang Yimou said in an interview.

"1942" is a good movie, but from a commercial point of view, it is not as wide as "Shocking Demon Thieves". I also came there by calling there, and the road is still long, so keep up the good work. ”

Feng Xiaogang, who was even lonely and seeking defeat, was rarely soft-mouthed when he came out of the movie theater with his wife Xu Fan and was blocked by the media.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it.

Such box office performance is like a god descending from heaven and sweeping away all enemies.

The headlines of various entertainment portals, as well as domestic film and television inventory variety shows, are also mentioned in Zhou Yutang's name:

"Hello everyone, welcome to "The Most Movie", I am the host Rong Rong."

"I'm the host Xiaoxian."

"Eh, Xiaoxian, do you know which movie is the hottest in the Chinese New Year file?"

"Of course, it's the "Shocking Demon Thieves" directed by Zhou Yutang."

The host Xiaoxian exaggerated in a playful tone: "It's so exciting, it's like enjoying a magic show, I know that I have been deceived, but I am still intoxicated, and I really want to see how everything will develop." ”

"Indeed, the process is full of unexpected turns and suspense, this movie has set a number of box office records in Chinese film history one after another, and the box office of the movie yesterday was as high as 125 million!"

"Let me tell you another piece of cold knowledge, director Zhou Yutang broke his own record, he said that he just wants to improve, he really keeps improving, and I feel that our Celestial Empire movies have also taken a big step forward, no worse than Hollywood's imported blockbusters!"

The two hosts shared their viewing experience, and the hostess Rong Rong ended the show, who sublimated the theme in an emotional tone: "Actually, we all know that magic is not real, but we are willing to pretend that it is real. ”

"There are also a lot of exaggerations in this "Shocking Demon Thieves" directed by Zhou Yutang, just because a large part of ordinary people have too much distress in real life."

"Maybe people go to the cinema not to pursue art, but to get a short experience that can't be obtained in reality."

"There is no doubt that director Zhou Yutang gave us this wonderful feeling. I think I'll go with my girlfriend for a second time, because the first time I watched it, I missed a lot of magic details."

Mango, Magic Capital, Su Province, and Blue Channel, a few first-line TV stations, and various prime-time news, also broadcast the amazing achievements created by "Shocking Demon Thieves".

Even CCTV broadcast a series of amazing records set by "Shocking Demon Thieves" on Sunday.

Undoubtedly, this is a compliment.

Removing the records of Hollywood's imported blockbusters on the head of Celestial Empire movies has a more important meaning in addition to movies.

"It's a pity, it's too fast, less than a minute."

Listening to Zhou Yutang's Versailles words, Ni Ni opened her mouth and found that she had no strength to complain.

She followed Zhou Yutang to run a roadshow across the country, and she was not lightly tired.

Yesterday I was in the magic capital, today I will go to Hangzhou, and tomorrow I will go to Jinling.

Airborne across the country, the work intensity is full.

Zhang Yi's bitter gourd face was even more bitter, tired like a forty-year-old man.

Even Guli Naza, who was happy to live and fly with Zhou Yutang at the beginning, was like a cabbage that had been exposed to the sun, with some tiredness on her delicate face.

On the other hand, Zhou Yutang.

More and more excited.

It seems that he was born to stand on this big stage and shine, and to show it in front of the audience is always a perfect posture full of energy.

There's even kung fu for time management and dealing with phone calls from several women at the same time.

Ni Ni bowed her head to reply to the message, and slandered in her heart: "My boss is too energetic, no wonder there are so many confidants." ”

In the past few days, Zhou Yutang's mobile phone has been on her side, and congratulatory text messages and messages from all directions have not stopped.

Except for a few bigwigs who called with celebrities and familiar friends, other less familiar ones were basically through penguins, WeChat, text messages, etc.

Ni Ni was busy processing the news, and her slender hands were about to break.

When Zhou Yutang received a call from Zou Zhongyan, he had just finished today's roadshow in Rongcheng, Shudu, and took the team to eat a hot pot, which was a little relaxed.

After a good piece of hairy belly, he took the mobile phone handed over by Ni Ni, and immediately put down the chopsticks.

"Yu Tang, congratulations on the box office success of "Shocking Demon Thieves", even Hollywood has reported it, and a director here has taken a fancy to your script."

"In addition, on the Golden Globe side, the nominations will be announced soon, and it is unlikely that you will win the award, but this is the best result that can be done, and you will have to come here next month."

affirmed Zou Zhongyan's public relations results, and Zhou Yutang received a call from the old man Bob, who was talking about the same thing, but the tone was slightly exaggerated.

The potential of the Celestial Empire Film Market is quite amazing, and several major Hollywood companies are staring at it.

Zhou Yutang turned his head and gave Han Sanping a breath, "Mr. Han, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony will be on the 13th of next month, and we will go over together?" ”

"I won't go, there are a few conferences to be held, and then "In the Name of the People" has to be watched here, I really can't leave, let Lao Meng go with you."

Han Sanping laughed heartily, and Zhou Yutang could also understand.

At the end of each year, Han Sanye, who is sitting in the position of the head of China Film, always has endless meetings, and Lao Meng is the vice president of China Film, and he can be regarded as an acquaintance.

After chatting about the box office trend for a while, Zhou Yutang could feel that Han Sanping was in a happy mood.

The next day, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the Golden Globe nominees along with actors Jessica Alba, Megan Fox and Ed Helms.

"The mainland film "Searching" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and "Life of Pi" directed by Li An was nominated for Best Drama Film!"

The news is like a hurricane passing through.

Domestic media and Internet, various hot reports, caused an uproar.
