"Warmly celebrate our student Zhou Yutang's new film box office success!"

When he returned to Nortel again and saw the big red banner hanging high at the school gate, Zhou Yutang's sense of shame increased sharply, and he couldn't wait to incarnate Tuohai and rush into the school gate.

However, there are still standing at the gate of the school, with their own humanoid signs, and a few juniors and sisters who are handing out leaflets.

"Hey, who's big G, there's a big G that's domineering enough."

"Senior Brother Zhou's car doesn't even know you?"

muttering a few words, Yang Caiyu was the first to react, and then his eyes lit up, and he greeted Zhou Yutang who rolled down the window sweetly: "Senior Brother Zhou, hello." ”

The rest of the people also reacted and greeted in unison.

"Well, hello."

Zhou Yutang took off his sunglasses: "What are you doing?" ”

By the way, I looked at the girl named Yang Caiyu, and there was really a bit of charm of Aunt Liu between her eyebrows.

"The dean said that to celebrate the breaking of the box office record of my brother's movie, such an event was arranged, and the media came to interview it in the afternoon."

Yang Caiyu said with a smile: "We also went to watch that movie, it's really exciting." ”

""Celebrating More Than Years" is also very good."

Xu Lu next to him said.

Everyone on the side nodded in agreement as if chickens were pecking rice.

In a slightly youthful way, he expressed his admiration for this senior brother who has become the glory of Nortel.

"I'll go in first."

After staying at the door for a while, many students looked at this side frequently, and some people gathered.

Although it is not uncommon to see stars in Nortel, there is no second coffee position like Zhou Yutang.

One by one, they excitedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures, ready to go back and brag to their girlfriends or best friends.

After Zhou Yutang went to graduate school, he was busy with his career and didn't come to school often, but others were not in the small rivers and lakes of Nortel, but the rivers and lakes had his legends.

is recognized as a superstar who is popular all over Asia, and film schools use him as the cover character on the admissions brochure every year.

That's advertising at its best.

I don't know how many juniors and sisters are his fans, and they all look forward to becoming the next Zhou Yutang.

Parking the car in the dean's parking space, Zhou Yutang went straight to the teacher's office.

Nortel is really not big, and on the way, I met Zhang Yiyi and several boys holding a basketball.

Zhang Yiyi, who looked like a monkey, was full of surprise on his face: "Senior Brother Zhou, I saw your roadshow news two days ago, and you just returned to the capital, right?" ”

"It wasn't long before I got back."

"That"

Zhang Yiyi looked forward to it: "Do you want to play football together?" ”

The eyes of the boys on the side lit up.

All of them are like Nortel Kroos and Modric, thinking about giving an assist to Senior Brother Zhou in Phnom Penh.

"It's a little bit of a matter to find a teacher, you guys can play, and we'll make an appointment next time."

"Okay, Senior Brother Zhou will call me next time he comes to play football."

"Next time, definitely."

Zhou Yutang smiled and patted Zhang Yishan's shoulder, turned his head and entered the Nortel teacher's office.

At the beginning, he ran to the teacher's office, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to graduate from graduate school, and he felt a little bit like a person, but he was still that self-motivated teenager, and he didn't change in the slightest.

Although Lao Tian said that he would not take an example every time, Zhou Yutang came to see him, and cigarettes and alcohol were always indispensable in his hands.

Unexpectedly, there were more people in the Tianzhuangxiang office.

Cao Baoping was lean, wearing a black down jacket and a hat on his head, and was discussing something with Tian Xiangxing.

"Teacher Cao."

Zhou Yutang pushed the door in and said hello.

Cao Baoping took the course of film and television screenwriting, and Zhou Yutang also took his class, and he is also Lao Cao's protégé.

Cao Baoping, who was over there, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Yu Tang, you came just in time." ”

"Teacher Cao, I'm looking for you too."

"Looking for me?"

"Let's talk about you first."

"That's fine."

Cao Baoping rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I have a book in my hand, I want to find you to make some fate." ”

Zhou Yutang took the script and looked at it, and the big words "Scorching Sun" on the cover faintly revealed a deep power.

When I opened it, it felt even weirder.

Obviously, the name has a scorching sun, but the tone of the whole story is dark.

Zhou Yutang became interested all of a sudden.

Three good brothers with different identities, because of ignorance and ignorance, participated in a tragedy, and then raised an orphan girl together, and met the police inspector Yin Guchun with a full sense of justice seven years later

This story is adapted from Xu Yigua's "Sunspots", Zhou Yutang has read the original work, and soon finished reading the script and said:

"This script has a lot of stamina, why doesn't Mr. Cao use the special funds from the school?"

Zhou Yutang has the intention to become bigger and stronger, so he pays great attention to the cultivation of reserve talents, especially in Nortel set up a special support fund.

To support gifted students to pursue their dreams.

He himself is equivalent to a big mountain in the entertainment industry, and if there are outstanding seedlings in the film academy, they will also give priority to him.

"Let's leave some for the students."

Cao Baoping said with a smile: "This drama has done a cost accounting of 30 million, Blue Star Pictures has invested 10 million, and there are still 20 million left, so I want to find a fate." ”

Zhou Yutang's special support fund at Nortel is aimed at the school's small-cost projects.

Cao Baoping also has his own connections, and this Blue Star Pictures is a subsidiary of Zhejiang Film and Television Group, and "Wenzhou Family" produced by Noon Sunshine took the company's investment.

Zhou Yutang didn't hesitate, and quickly nodded: "I voted for this movie." ”

Cao Baoping is a director with an extremely significant personal style, with profound skills, and this script is well done, with a budget of 30 million, it can only be regarded as a small project in today's big productions with hundreds of millions of dollars.

"What are you looking for from me?"

"I also have a script in my hand, and I want to ask the teacher to help me read it."

"What did the French short film change?"

"Hmm."

took the script handed over by Zhou Yutang and flipped through it, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Cao Baoping are also experienced veterans, and at a glance, they knew that this was the Best Short Film Award at this year's French César Awards.

This short film is highly evaluated in the circle, and won the Best Short Film Award at the Luwen International Film Festival last year.

At that time, the price was not expensive, but after winning the French César Award for Best Short Film this year, the price increased several times, which was a small profit.

Cao Baoping carefully read the script, exchanged a few words with Tian Xiangzhuang, and said with a strange face: "I have some ideas about changing the male protagonist to the female protagonist." ”

"Mr. Cao, I can't hide it, I want to leave this project to you."

Zhou Yutang said with a smile: "The heroine will use my people, and you will have the final say on the rest." ”

After getting the film and television adaptation rights of this short film, Zhou Yutang handed over the script task of "The Tuner" to the Jiangdong Creation Center, and now this is the script after the magic change.

But the core of the whole story has not changed, and he still puts himself in a God's perspective, satisfies his voyeuristic psychology, and looks at the most real side of things in front of him.

Liu Shishi also has "Please Answer 1988" this year, which is destined to be a word-of-mouth work, and this female version of "The Tuner" is a movie made specifically for Shi Shi.

It is very important for actors to find roles that suit them, and there is also a South Korean "I Am a Witness", a film that helped Kim Ha Na prove that the queen of the Blue Dragon Movie, and the copyright is also in Zhou Yutang's hands.

I thought about it.

Zhou Yutang still decided to do "The Tuner" first, and this film is more commercial.

Cao Baoping listened to him, but he didn't immediately agree, and waved his hand again and again: "Yu Tang, I still have several projects in my hand, and they are all scheduled for the next year." ”

"Take your time, don't rush."

Zhou Yutang smiled: "I really can't think of someone more suitable to make this movie than Mr. Cao." ”

I made this movie just to win awards.

Liu Shishi has followed him since his first love, and Zhou Yutang also has a preference for him in his heart.

Cao Baoping likes and is very good at showing the despair and cruelty of reality in front of the audience in a bloody way, and he can't wait to sting the audience.

For example, "Li Mi's Conjecture", this "Scorching Sun" also has this flavor.

It is this tone that exposes human nature, some people may feel cruel, but there are always dirty and cruel things in life.

This type of film is not guaranteed to have commercial results, but it must meet the tastes of those judges.

sat down and chatted with Tian Xiangxiang and Cao Baoping for a while, Cao Baoping talked about the encounter of his old classmates, Lou Huohua had just been banned, and this came out, and the response to this year's floating city mystery was mediocre.

and another of his old classmates, Wang Xiaoshuai, also didn't mix well.

Lao Cao was a little embarrassed when he said it: "In the past, our generation of directors faced the censorship of the system, but I didn't expect that one day, the system was relaxed, and the market became a harsher second review."

The best choice for filmmakers of that generation was to make underground films, go to film festivals, and make a name for themselves, just like Chief Jia.

"Times are different."

Tian Xiangzhi sighed.

Those remnants of the old era, the new era has been difficult to have a ship to carry them.

In this new era, what is more popular in the market is mainstream films with strong narratives, and the most basic thing about mainstream films is the industrial base.

Therefore, Zhou Yutang's "Shocking Demon Thieves" will bring great shock to the entire Celestial Dynasty movie.

It turns out that the Celestial Empire can also shoot such a special effects blockbuster.

With an appreciative gaze, Tian Xiangxiang glanced at the most proud disciple in his life.

is still polite and courteous, without the slightest arrogance.

From the teacher's point of view.

This is a full score answer sheet handed over by Zhou Yutang.

At the end of the year, the artist's schedule is very busy.

Liu Yifei is no exception.

Just after returning from abroad, there are various endorsement advertisements to be re-shot, as well as a platform for the brand and several fashion magazine covers.

Zhou Yutang rarely found time to accompany Miss Liu to watch the sunglasses king's movie "The Grandmaster" in his own cinema.

"Zhang Ziyi's Mr. Gong Er, he acted really well."

After watching the movie, Liu Yifei still felt unsatisfied, leaning on Zhou Yutang's shoulder and muttering.

Mr. Gong Er, who is cold and lonely, but stubborn and tenacious, should be regarded as the highlight of Zhang Ziyi's acting career.

If you don't forget, there will be an echo.

The King of Sunglasses has been preparing for eight years, and once the long sword is unsheathed, it really shocks the rivers and lakes.

The most important thing is to cleverly avoid the edge of "Shocking Demon Thieves", it is said that there is a problem of incomplete copies, and the box office on the first day also won 30.8 million box office, which is a blockbuster, creating the peak box office of the king of sunglasses, and also taking over the leading stick of the single-day box office champion from "Zodiac".

Talking about the movie plot of "The Grandmaster", Zhou Yutang's hands were not honest, and he muttered in his mouth: "Qian Bao, have you become bigger?" ”

Syllable!

Liu Yifei slapped off Zhou Yutang's claws, and said coquettishly: "That's not your fault? ”

But.

She quickly took Zhou Yutang's hand in her arms again, admiring the way he wore the custom-made Tissot watch.

Tightly clasped with the slender fingers that were distinct but a little delicate, Liu Yifei suddenly felt as if she was holding some kind of beautiful artwork in her hand.

But such a good-looking hand is always not honest.

After a while, he began to wander again, making Liu Yifei pant slightly: "Xiao Zhou, are you going to America?" ”

"Gotta go over there for a few days."

"It's a pity that I can't accompany you, but I don't have a trip tomorrow morning."

“.”

Looking at Liu Yifei's eyes that seemed to be overflowing, Zhou Yutang was almost intoxicated by the shallow pear vortex.

My generation of monks, dedicating themselves to the immortal path, is naturally duty-bound.

The total box office of this year's New Year's Day movies is nearly 400 million, which is more than double that of last year.

Wang Fatzi's "The Great Demon Capital" was originally a bloody start, and the unexpected box office still has some stamina, and the cumulative total box office has reached 138 million.

And Huang Xiaoming's other movie "Blood Drops", the box office can step on the threshold of 70 million, and it is hopeless to exceed 100 million.

"Brother Cheng Long's "Zodiac" has a stable box office growth, breaking through 770 million strongly, and firmly sitting in the second place in the New Year stalls."

"The only king of the Lunar New Year file, the total box office of "Shocking Demon Thieves" is as high as 1.629 billion, and the key has been postponed to January 27, and the miracle continues!"

"Shocking Demon Thieves" is already full of corpses at the feet, and the eyes of the entire film and television circle are tightly focused on Zhou Yutang.

This movie, which was released for nearly a month, set countless historical records as the box office champion of Chinese films, and the single-day box office fell to seven or eight million.

But the box office is still growing slowly, and this number is beyond the reach of many movies at the moment.

"Zhou Yutang has made a lot of money again this time!"

There are many people in the circle who pay attention to Zhou Yutang, and even his income is clear.

Take "Shocking Demon Thieves" as an example, every nearly 100 million means that there are 37 million to 38 million benefits, deducting the film fund and other family accounts, Zhou Yutang can get half of them.

Moreover, according to the latest film industry policy subsidies, films with a box office of more than 1.5 billion will receive a reward fund of 15 million.

The benefits generated by this "Shocking Demon Thieves" have made the big and small film and television companies in the circle envious of their eyes.

At this time, "Celebrating More Than Years" also firmly occupied the top spot in the ratings of the TV drama market at the beginning of the year.

The development of the plot tugs at the heartstrings of the audience.

Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er met in the temple, and the ratings of Su Provincial Station directly broke three that night.

As the plot unfolds later, the ratings are further stabilized, and the discussion of the whole drama is unprecedented.

"The undoubted drama of the year."

"Zhou Yutang has single-handedly created a ratings myth."

is a phenomenal hit drama, and the popularity is quite terrifying.

Now there are hot searches every day to celebrate more than one year, and not only the leading actors have benefited, but even the supporting roles can soar.

For example, Tian Yu's Wang Qinian, Wu Gang's Chen Pingping, Di Lieba's Fan Ruoruo, Ni Ni's manager, etc., are all well received.

The TV series was only halfway through, and Tian Yu, Wu Gang and others called one after another to thank them.

All kinds of film appointments and business are coming, which are all real benefits.

Except for Ni Ni, who is determined to be a good secretary, the acting careers of these people have reached a big level.

Li Jun, Reba and others have been working on drama publicity for more than half a month, and Zhou Yutang has also participated in the recording of two popular variety shows.

Then he took Ni Ni on a flight to the other side of the ocean.

The matter of private jets has basically been decided, but it is still going through the formalities.

When he came to Los Angeles again, it was still Zou Zhongyan who picked him up.

Sister Zou nodded and said hello to the unique female secretary beside Zhou Yutang, and began to report to work in the car.

This comes back to Hollywood, and there are two new projects to talk about.

In the entertainment industry, it is said that popularity raises people, and Zou Zhongyan, who is famous in Hollywood, seems to be a lot younger.

Zhou Yutang went to the scene to see the filming progress of "Annabelle".

Overall, 65 points can be given.

Although Old John's photography skills are good, compared to Wen Ziren, he is still almost hot, and he can only be said to have basically reached the qualified level.

This movie can be regarded as a test of the spin-off films of the "Conjuring" series, with a total investment of only $6.5 million.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yutang and Bob agreed to put this project in the hands of Old John.

Hollywood's back-to-back companies aren't eating dry food.

If a film company wants to open a big project, it must be a big director with successful experience.

For example, Warner once threw an olive branch to Zhou Yutang and invited him to run superhero-themed movies.

For example, Universal fell in love with Wen Ziren and took over from Lin Yibin to direct "Fast and Furious 7".

Seeing Wen Ziren, an old acquaintance, the two hugged each other cordially and sent their blessings in person: "Zhou, congratulations, that "Shocking Demon Thieves" is really amazing! ”

"Thank you."

Zhou Yutang asked with a smile: "When is "Fast and Furious 7" going to be done?" ”

"It's scheduled to start shooting in March next year, and when this movie is finished, I'll be ready to start "The Conjuring 2".

Wen Ziren is also thinking about the Conjuring series.

He himself is a horror filmmaker, not to mention that his director's studio also gets a share of the box office.

The two met in a high-end restaurant and were photographed by local students, and the news was quickly transmitted back to China and hung on the news of several entertainment portals.

"Zhou Yutang and director Wen Ziren met with old friends, and Bob, the boss of the new line, accompanied each other, several people talked and laughed, and it was suspected that the new project was negotiated smoothly!"

"It is reported that Zhou Yutang has a human eradication plan and a revenue share of the back-end of the Conjuring movie series, which can be recorded in an astonishing amount every year!"

"Director Wen Ziren will direct the global blockbuster "Fast and Furious 7", and Zhou Yutang is suspected to play an important role!"

The news of the meeting quickly spread back to China, and there were really many people who came to Jiangdong Entertainment to inquire about the news, Li Shuang held a press conference to the outside world, and cooperated with the crew of "Fast and Furious 7" to make an official announcement:

"Zhu Yilong of Jiangdong Entertainment will participate in "Fast and Furious 7".

There was another uproar in the entertainment industry.

Zhu Yilong is the relationship between Zhou Yutang's brothers, and the whole circle knows it.

I really don't know how many people envy him.

Zhou Yutang took off by himself, and also took his friends to fly together.

In China, Hollywood is equivalent to a high standard, and actors who can get Hollywood film appointments are rare, and Zhu Yilong's cake this time can improve his coffee position a lot.

Of course.

Compared with being able to take on a role in Hollywood, there is no one like Zhou Yutang who has the ability to open projects in Hollywood to make money.

In fact, Zhou Yutang really made a lot of money.

At that time, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" had a very high number of views on YouTube, and the North American copyright was sold for 7 million US dollars.

What's more, with the "Human Removal Plan" series and the "Conjuring" series in hand, it is equivalent to two hens that lay golden eggs.

In the past two days, under the leadership of Bob, I participated in various drinking parties.

Zhou Yutang doesn't like this kind of drinking party very much, but every circle has its own rules of the game.

In addition to becoming more familiar with the rules of the game in Vanity Fair, Zhou Yutang also met a lot of friends.

"Harvey, this is Zhou, I think you've heard his name."

"Of course, Bob, you're lucky old fellow!"

Harvey Weinstein, a fat man, was particularly enthusiastic about Zhou Yutang's attitude: "It's a pleasure to meet you, a miracle director from the East, congratulations on creating a new box office record for a Celestial Empire movie." ”

"Hello, Harvey."

Zhou Yutang is still quite wary in his heart, don't look at this fat man's kind eyebrows, in fact, he is ruthless, and he didn't take Huayi and Xiaogang Cannon Pit lightly.

But it is also necessary to be hypocritical and wrong, to do public relations here, this fat man is professional, and the films he participated in the production and distribution have won more than 300 Oscar nominations and more than 70 statuettes!

Gwyneth Paltrow reached the top of the film with "Shakespeare in Love", and this fat man contributed a lot behind the scenes.

"Zhou, there's a party in the evening, do you want to have a good time?"

The fat man showed an ambiguous smile that all men know.

Zhou Yutang saw the shadow of an acquaintance in the crowd, and politely refused: "Sao Rui, Harvey, I made an appointment with a friend in the evening." ”

"Oh, oh, I know, it's not shallow."

Harvey Weinstein, the dead fat man, followed his gaze, patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder vigorously, didn't say anything, and turned his head to socialize.

Tonight's cocktail party has a lot of big names.

Zhou Yutang really wasn't joking, the long-lost American blonde Yanma released her enthusiasm as soon as they met: "Hi, Zhou, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”

It's just a hug.

Left sticker, right sticker.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Queen S."

Zhou Yutang and Blake Lively do have a good relationship.

His first visit to America was when he met Blake Lively at Project Human Eradication.

I made a few appointments in private, and there were scandals at that time.

Blake Lively became popular with the American drama "Gossip Girl" and became one of the four little girls in Hollywood in one fell swoop.

Tonight, she looks extra radiant in a blue dress.

Beside her, there was also a cat-looking beauty in a black dress, who was looking at Zhou Yutang curiously.
