"Yu Tang, congratulations on the box office hit."

"Brother Xiao Ming, the propaganda matter, thank you for your hard work."

When he received Huang Xiaoming's call, Zhou Yutang was taking Guo Fan to the crew to finish a meeting with several special effects teams.

It has been nearly two months since the start of production in May, and the day of the completion of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is getting closer and closer.

"It's a matter of duty."

Huang Xiaoming laughed heartily: "When will you finish there?" ”

Zhou Yutang was busy filming, and Liu Shishi was also very busy, just participating in a few variety shows, and the main publicity work of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" still fell on Huang Xiaoming and Fan Binbin.

The studios of these two are also the producers of this drama, and they are very active in their work.

It was only in the afternoon of the day before yesterday that he appeared at the premiere of Hui Provincial Satellite TV, and he rushed to the premiere of Zhejiang Province early yesterday morning, and he also worshiped Yue Fei at Yue Fei Temple in Hangzhou, which was on the hot search.

"It's coming soon, the month will be over."

Zhou Yutang chatted with Huang Xiaoming for a few words, and then looked at the mobile phone message.

In the circle, familiar and unfamiliar people all sent congratulatory messages.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Kill the Wolf 2" is another big hit, sweeping the summer file without opponents.

Many people have Zhou Yutang's work mobile phone number, but many friends have sent messages to his private number.

Zhou Yutang only selected some friends who were relatively close to him to reply, and other sycophants directly ignored them.

Then he threw all his mobile phones to Ni Ni, and left the rest to her to deal with.

In the next period of time, Zhou Yutang continued to devote himself to the filming of the crew, Huo Wenxi took Wu Jing and Zhang Jing and other crew creators, running roadshows one stop at a time, and good news came frequently.

""Little Times" was released for a week, the total box office was reported to be 320 million, and the single-day box office was only 12.5 million.

""Slaying the Wolf 2" was released for a week, and the mainland box office exceeded 448 million, leading the summer file, with steady growth at the box office, and the most fierce action movie is unstoppable this summer!"

On the side of the film market, gunsmoke is everywhere.

But the expected battle did not happen, and the box office record of "Little Times" hitting "Bouquet of Love" was just a joke after all.

After "Slaying the Wolf 2" joined the battlefield, the battle for the summer file has been divided.

Since its release, the most exciting action movie in recent years, it has strongly ended the discussion that Chinese films have entered the era of comparison.

Seeing the box office data that Ni Ni sorted out and sent over every day, Zhou Yutang felt a little surprised.

Originally, according to the internal evaluation of Soochow Pictures, the box office of this movie was judged to be about 400 million.

is still the same sentence, all rely on peers to set off.

With "Fuchun Mountain Residence" and "Little Times" feeding the audience in front, "Slaying the Wolf 2" originally had a level of 80 points, but it scored at least 90 points at the box office.

If there is a choice, who wouldn't want to eat something good?

Zack Snyder's first battle in control of DC, "Superman: Man of Steel" reported 37.64 million at the box office on the first day.

This was also suppressed by "Kill the Wolf 2", only 20% of the films were scheduled on the first day, and the box office performance was not as expected.

As for "Fuji Detective" produced by Guangguang, it was also released at the end of June, with a box office of about 24 million on the first day.

Compared with the production cost of more than 100 million, the box office performance is a bit bleak.

The participation of these two new films in the war further weakened the schedule of "Little Times", which was an unexpected joy.

The filming of the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is still ongoing, and the spirit of the crew is concentrated with high intensity, and it is approaching the end at this time.

"Reba, pay attention to your position."

"Adjusting the angle of the second lens, I want to reflect the excitement and tension of hanging by a thread."

Zhou Yutang wore a mask, sat behind the monitor, and kept giving orders: "Attention units, you can start!" ”

The scene notes snapped: ""Ghost Blows the Lamp" Scene 58, Scene 6, Action! ”

There was still a dark mist in the air.

Hu Bayi's protagonist group walked through a long and narrow stone beam.

I saw the coffin of the Exquisite Queen in sight.

At this time, the corpse incense konjac on the coffin bloomed faintly.

A demonic mysterious power began to diffuse.

The protagonists were like they were in a dream, as if they had seen something incredible, and they gasped and looked terrified.

Dozens of resurrected devil soldiers climbed up from the abyss of purgatory.

It's like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

In fact, this is just an illusion produced by the corpse incense konjac.

When a person comes into contact with the Queen of Perfection, what he fears and longs for the most, a corresponding scene will appear in front of him.

This scene NG many times, and when these ghost soldiers took off their hoods, they were sweating hot one by one.

The capital in July was not a joke, Ni Ni hurriedly arranged for the venue to send cold drinks to cool off.

Taking advantage of the rest of the crew, Zhou Yutang and Guo Fan discussed the shooting effect, and during the chat, Guo Fan asked curiously: "Director Zhou, I heard that there will be a TV series behind the ghost blowing the lamp?" ”

"If nothing else, I'm going to make a TV series."

Zhou Yutang nodded.

Ba Sing himself is also in the screenwriting team and is deeply involved in the creation of the script, according to his own words, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was a work of practice at the beginning.

The first volume can basically be divided into two parts, before and after.

In the first half, there is no clear clue to the underground military fortress at the black wind outlet of Savage Gully, similar to the tone of folklore and rural wild talk.

The second half is the main line involved, and it can only be said that Ba Sing is talented, and he has upgraded his skills, and his skills are gradually becoming proficient, and the more he writes in the future, the better.

If the movie is made exactly as it is, it is not realistic.

The whole movie is only two hours, about sixty or seventy scenes, each scene is about two minutes, and to tell a complete movie story, a certain degree of magic must be changed.

Ding Sitian plays a role in connecting the plot of the movie.

Hu Bayi and Wang Fatzi always remember Ding Sitian who stayed in the depths of the eternal grassland.

They hadn't really seen the Exquisite Queen, but they were only affected by the corpse incense konjac, and their subconscious projected Ding Sitian's appearance.

Zhou Yutang took a sip of iced pear soup, turned his head and asked, "How do you feel about this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?" ”

Guo Fan's face was solemn and he began to think seriously.

Usually, Zhou Yutang's way of treating him is not like a leader to his subordinates, but more like a friend.

But Guo Fan knew it in his heart and put the position very right.

He scratched his head and grinned, "Thank you Director Zhou for giving me this rare opportunity." ”

"My own people."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and smiled: "Don't come to this." ”

"Then I'll just say it."

"Doing a special effects blockbuster like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is very time-consuming and energy-consuming, and many things have been decided before the start-up, the preliminary preparations, the communication with the actors, and the docking with the coordinator, special effects team, and art and lighting teams during filming."

"Every step takes a lot of effort, and if you want to achieve the desired artistic effect, the whole process is very important, and I think the whole post-production special effects take longer than the shooting period."

"There's no shortcut to VFX."

Zhou Yutang nodded and said with a smile: "It is to invest time and capital, and spend more effort than the filming period."

With an investment of 250 million, the actor's salary only accounts for a small part, and most of it is spent on special effects and scenes.

"I really learned a lot from being able to be an assistant director by Director Zhou's side."

These words are not sycophants, they are completely from Guo Fan's heart.

followed Zhou Yutang to do a few plays, only to know that his control over the crew was indeed outrageous, which made Guo Fan extremely admired.

"Ghost blows the lantern and the follow-up movie, I'll leave it to you."

Zhou Yutang patted him on the shoulder, and when he saw his confused look, he suddenly felt a little funny.

In this project, he deliberately handed over a lot of scenes, including docking with several groups, to Guo Fan to practice, and he was subtly guiding and observing many times.

The result was a big surprise, Guo Fan was probably born to eat this bowl of rice, and it can be said that he has made rapid progress.

One of the three major generals in Jiangdong, Zhou Yutang's attention and cultivation of Guo Fan is not under Lu Yang and Wen Muye.

Now he keeps planting the seeds.

In the near future, there may be Chinese Nolan and Spielberg who will grow up in this land of the Celestial Empire.

"Du Qifeng, Liu Dehua, and Zheng Xiuwen's iron triangle combination movie "Blind Detective" won the box office on the first day of release, and received 17 million!"

"Keanu Reeves's new film "Tai Chi Man" only collected 5 million at the box office on the first day, and the director of Hollywood stars failed miserably at the box office!"

"Superman: Man of Steel" reported 160 million at the box office in the first week, and the cumulative box office in two weeks was nearly 300 million, and the film schedule has dropped to 9.9%!"

"The total box office of "Little Times" is reported to be 358 million, and the single-day box office has fallen to 6 million, Guo Xiaosi proudly said that he will come back!"

Recently, the summer vacation has been full of smoke, and the mood of the light old king is not very beautiful.

After "Fuji Detective" won 110 million box office in three days in the first weekend, the daily box office plummeted.

Liu Shishi is one of the leading actresses, but her role is not much, mainly because the kung fu emperor wants to praise his godson, but unfortunately the audience does not pay for it.

The failure of this large-scale commercial film project directly caused the stock price of Guangguang to fall for several days in a row.

Du Qifeng is also an old unlucky egg.

Strictly speaking, his "Blind Detective" can beat "Fuji Detective" and "Tai Chi Man", and he also stepped on "Little Times", which is a good quality movie.

It's just that the leading actor Liu Dehua has been affected by the word-of-mouth of "Fuchun Mountain Residence", and at this time, there is still "Kill the Wolf 2" raging in the film market, which is a little bleak.

"Kill the Wolf 2" was released for two weeks, with a total box office of 574 million, and the single-day box office inevitably dropped to more than 20 million, but the theater schedule is still as high as 28%!

is only one step away from the box office of 600 million.

Guo Xiaosi originally shouted slogans, preparing to hit the box office record of the love myth.

Now insiders look at him like a clown jumping off the beam, but he is laughing and generous.

Zhou Yutang didn't even take action in person, but the work "Kill the Wolf 2" produced by the producer has been easily suppressed.

The performance of "Slaying the Wolf 2" has completely established the top position of Jiangdong's leader.

The summer file is chaotic or not, Zhou Yutang has the final say.
