Chapter 539: Outwit Weihu Mountain and dominate the Lunar New Year file

Zhou Yutang kept a low profile, but the news of the completion of the film by the super-first-line commercial director in the circle could not be hidden at all.

As soon as I returned to the capital, various media rushed to report it.

The artists at the end of the year are very busy, and Zhou Yutang is no exception, he is doing his best to follow up the post-production work of the two movies in his hand.

"Mr. Huo."

"Well, hello."

Huo Wenxi was dressed in a professional skirt, stepping on high heels, and walked with a full aura.

"Wait a minute!"

"Is Feng Xiaogang Jiang Lang exhausted?"

Zhou Yutang suddenly remembered an interesting story, Shi Nansheng's best friend Lin Qingxia once went to her house as a guest, and happened to see Xu Ke playing with the dog on the sofa.

"It's still Guo Baokun in "Celebrating More Than Years", it's funny."

In the later stage of this movie, it was all done by Vision Media, and Lao Wang's money could not be made in vain.

"The box office of "Private Custom" on the first day was 80 million, exceeding the box office of "Little Times" on the first day, and the film schedule remains high, and it will continue to exert force!"

Clear-eyed people know that according to the explosive box office and word-of-mouth of the embarrassing series, as long as the quality of the sequel is passable, it is definitely lying down to make money.

"Da Mi Mi must have picked up bad movies again."

Listening to this, it's all good news, Xiao Wang always held a cigar in his mouth, and said with a smile: "If Xu Guangtou's "Hong Kong Embarrassment", I'm still a little worried, I heard that Zhou Yutang sold the embarrassment series, and such a golden rooster that can lay eggs is also willing to cash out, and his pattern is still small."

"Please Answer 1988" is scheduled to be broadcast in February, and the "Tuner" project has also begun preparations, directed by Cao Baoping, and is expected to start shooting after the year.

Wang Changtian pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "If it is released at the end of December, I won't even be able to drink soup at that time." ”

The cast lineups of both sides are not on the same level at all.

Xiao Wang always dusted off his cigar ashes, full of confidence: "It's okay to act in sketches, anyone in the film industry can enter?" ”

"Are you sure this isn't a blockbuster?"

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Brought the topic over lightly, and an entertainment editor suddenly asked: "Director Zhou, what do you think of Wang Lihong and Li Lianglei's marriage?" ”

"Isn't Shen Teng the funny brother of Zhang Ruojun in "Introduction to Architecture"?"

Even Zhang Ruojun, Bai Lily, and Li Xiaolu are all popular students and flowers in the circle.

Zhou Yutang shook hands with Shi Nansheng, saw that she read the contract again, and asked, "Sister Shi, is there anything wrong with the contract?" ”

It can only be said that those who play with capital are not satisfied with the quality of this movie.

Wang Changtian is very bold in doing things, and when he moved this movie to the beginning of December, he gave the battlefield to "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Private Custom".

"Huh."

This doesn't have to rely on the box office, just relying on the derivative business to cover all the costs of the entire movie.

Zhou Yutang can feel that this movie, which Xu Kexin has wanted to make for many years, is very likely to be a testimony to the decent separation of the couple.

Huo Wenxi took out a hardcover box prepared in advance from his bag and said with a smile: "Then it will trouble you then." ”

"There are talented people in the country, but since I'm still there, then I still have the final say on the New Year's stalls, and it's not easy for anyone to come."

This is not scientific, Liu Shishi, who is usually very simple and cute, why is he suddenly so smart?

However, the governor of Jiangdong has been fighting for a long time, and his face is still like a peaceful lake: "During this time, I have been in the crew, and this room is all Ni Ni tidying up, how does she do things?" ”

The small steel cannon has been silent for a long time since "The Great Earthquake", and "1942" was not popular, which made the stock of Huayi Brothers fall in a row, evaporating more than a dozen small targets.

"Zhou Yutang has fallen, looking at this title, there is no doubt that it is a bad movie."

"Next time, definitely."

"No, Chen Xi will watch you when the time comes, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with the entire film and television production process."

The fund plate for the project "Cold War" is too big, Boss Jiang is ready to pull Yinghuang to do it together, Zhou Yutang previously promised Boss Yang to make a friendly cameo in "Cold War 2", and he will definitely not break his promise.

Wang Changtian's judgment is very accurate, and the sudden increase in the file of "The Four Famous Catches 2" really had a miraculous effect, and the box office on the first day was reported to be 25 million, which was beyond expectations, and some made a small profit.

But when she heard that she had just fallen out of love, her heart was uncontrollably relaxed, and she didn't care about Zhou Yutang at the moment, and pulled Ni Ni to comfort her.

"Wait and see, this movie will not be worse than the embarrassing series."

"I wish him happiness."

Although she is already a shareholder of Tangren, she has little practical experience in film and television projects.

On the verge of an arrow, Liu Shishi suddenly supported Zhou Yutang's chest with both hands, and his expression changed slightly.

"Sister Mani, are you here for something?"

It can be seen that her marriage with Xu Ke is peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, and it is almost coming to an end.

"Shi Shi, don't get me wrong."

As for "Human Removal Plan 2", I have to watch it again, the starring role is the villain in "Wolf Warrior 2", this guy is an old unlucky guy who broke his bones and had to delay a lot of filming time.

"Look at it like this, it's really going to 1 billion?"

After four days of explosion, the box office of "Private Custom" reached 315 million in the first weekend.

Xiaogang Cannon is also a talent, and he has earned more than 80 million yuan in advertising placement alone.

Huayi coveted Mingjie's variety show business, and cooperated with Beijing Satellite TV to create a movie-related reality show, and it also took a revenue share.

"The chapters are too fragmented, the rhythm is loose, like a patchwork of paragraphs."

Everyone in the film department of Huayi in the conference room had a winner's smile on their faces.

Zhou Yutang's tone of voice was slightly heavy, and Ni Ni's eyes instantly turned red and she bit her lip.

Zhou Yutang had already seen the gossip forwarded by Mao Xiaoyu in the internal group.

"Then in the second half of next year, there will be "Human Removal Plan 2" and "Fifty Shades of Grey".

Wang Baoqiao's super high national popularity, Xu Guangtou is also a popular Mesozoic actor, with the box office appeal of these two, if the sequel to the embarrassing series is placed in this year's Chinese New Year, it is really a strong opponent of "Private Customization".

After a few pleasantries, Huo Wenxi still had work in his hands, and he didn't stay long.

Zhou Yutang didn't go to the scene, but it didn't prevent him from seeing Feng Xiaogang's amazing speech on the news:

Thinking that Zhou Yutang was so busy filming some time ago that he hadn't forgotten to accompany him to make porridge on the phone, Liu Shishi couldn't help but reflect on himself secretly and became more and more gentle.

The national teacher among the three major directors also officially announced the news of the completion of "Return".

There are also many passers-by and audiences, who are basically attracted by the traffic of Zhou Yutang and Yang Mi, and there is a high degree of discussion on the Internet:

There is no conflict between the schedules on both sides, and the light suddenly rushes in order to capture the film market in the early stage of the Chinese New Year file.

Ni Ni has been following Zhou Yutang for so long and knows a lot about the entire film and television industry.

Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned, nodded and smiled: "I am honored to cooperate with Sister Shi." ”

Meanwhile.

In the face of the publicity offensive of "Charlotte's Troubles", the reviews on the Internet were mixed.

Shi Nansheng looked for wet wipes to wipe Xu Ke's hands, and instructed the assistant to cut mangoes.

Sometimes you're smart, but sometimes you're stupid.

Zhou Yutang chuckled: "The stock price fell sharply that day, which is very revealing." ”

The manager of the film department added.

Zhou Yutang thought that when he first missed this movie, this old wall lamp looked incredible, probably thinking that he was a loser.

A phone call was made to figure out the situation, and when Zhou Yutang came out with Liu Shishi, Ni Ni was full of apologies: "I fell out of love some time ago, and my hair fell out a little too much. ”

Film and television companies in the industry have different attitudes.

"Week, Dallas opened the weekend box office of $10.29 million, you made a lot of money."

Among them, Jiangdong Entertainment took a 30% share, China Film also took 30%, the remaining two families were half of a person, and Xu Ke's director's salary was calculated separately.

On the promotional poster released, the big characters produced and written by Zhou Yutang are also lined up in front of several leading actors, which is particularly conspicuous.

led Huo Wenxi directly to the 9th floor, Ni Ni took her into the president's office, and Huo Wenxi always had a smile on her face.

At that time, Xu Ke suddenly thought of eating mangoes, but he was too lazy to move.

Zhou Yutang hurriedly hugged her in his arms, spoke softly, and comforted: "When a new drama opens next year, I will go to the crew as a producer, and when the time comes, I will let Chen Xi take you, and when I see you, I will have to call you Producer Liu."

Judging from the current situation, at least it is a steady and small profit.

As soon as he finished communicating with Zou Zhongyan, Bob, an old wall lamp, also made a video call, and his voice was full of envy: "If you have such an opportunity in the future, you have to take me." ”

"Actually, I've been with movies for so many years, and I've even been a little disgusted with it, I've been lonely for too long, and I've thought about retiring early."

"Ah, yes, yes."

In all fairness, Ni Ni, a beautiful woman who works as a secretary for Zhou Yutang, has a lot of rumors in the circle, and Liu Shishi is a little worried.

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, there's really something going on."

Seeing the first sister pinching a long hair in her hand, suddenly turning into a detective, Zhou Yutang felt a little sweaty.

Like the domestic poet Chen, he began to prepare for "Shamen Konghai: Tang Ghost Banquet" as early as a few years ago.

Now her work focuses on the mainland, and she wants to maintain a relationship with Zhou Yutang, and she usually comes to the Jiangdong Building.

"Nope."

I don't even want to do it.

The manager of the publicity department of the light reminded responsibly: "In this case, the follow-up publicity plan will not be used." ”

La Pei Kangcai took over the position, intending to make a name for himself, this main theme commercial blockbuster led by the ghost director and Zhou Yutang's entry into the game is exactly what he wants.

"Then you mean that "Charlotte's Troubles" can surpass "Custom" at the box office?"

"Isn't that good?"

"Anyway, this year's Lunar New Year file is one less strong opponent, Director Feng's "Private Customization" is promising, what kind of twist did Zhou Yutang vote."

"The second is "Waiting for the Wind" directed by Teng Huatao, and chick movies occupy a certain pole position because of their differentiation, regardless of genre themes."

It's just that Ladong has countless meetings to be held at the end of the year, so he asked a vice president of China Film to come over and sign the contract.

The manager of Huayi's film department is reporting on the detailed schedule layout of the entire Chinese New Year file.

She swept her eyes and saw Liu Shishi and Shi Nansheng who were talking in the office, and she was slightly stunned.

Not to mention, the publicity effect is very good.

A considerable part of the Jiangdong Navy Division is ready to go.

Liu Shishi was a little moved, but he asked lately: "Will it cause trouble to the crew?" ”

"Have you paid attention to Huayi's stock price before the movie is released?"

Ni Ni vomited bitterness.

"Something went wrong with James' Fast and Furious 7, Paul Walker died in a car accident, and now Universal is talking about substitutions"

Some audiences who have seen the Happy Twist drama performance in the theater expressed their expectations.

Shi Nansheng smoothed out the wrinkles on the contract, with a relieved smile on his face: "This movie is probably the last project I did here, and I hope to leave a good memory at that time." ”

"You fall in love every day, do you put your mind on work?"

The same is true for Zhou Yutang himself.

Countless female fans were heartbroken without a trace.

The project "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", with a cost budget of 200 million, will be jointly produced by Jiangdong Entertainment, China Film Group, Guangguang, and Xu Ke Studio.

Before the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles", "Custom" was launched.

But behind the box office figures, there are countless netizens' doubts.

"Mr. Wang has a high opinion."

Women are probably the most amazing creatures in the world.

Zhou Yutang's work intensity during this period was full, and his spirit was tense, and he was criticized by the people around him.

"I have to say, ginger is still old and spicy."

"Sister Mani, come and sit."

Compared with Huayi's fanfare, the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles" was relatively simple.

After he went back, he mentioned the schedule of "Four Famous Catches 2" to early December.

"That movie, so powerful?"

Huayi made it very grand, and a bunch of stars came, just like the red carpet show.

"And then there is the low-budget comedy "Charlotte's Troubles" in Jiangdong, and Director Feng's "Private Custom" are both comedy movies, and they are both scheduled for mid-December"

The rest of Mary, Alan and several other leading actors walked casually on the street, and no one recognized them.

"Shi Shi, I have time to have afternoon tea with the magic capital, I know that there is a newly opened shop with a very good cake."

"Director Feng's skills for decades, what kind of happy twist is this, can it be compared with Director Feng?"

also deliberately let several variety shows on the light side fully cooperate with Zhou Yutang's publicity.

One of the front desk Xiaoxue called Ni Ni diligently, and quickly got a response.

"Teacher Fan Wei's paragraph is really good, but I don't understand the one in the back."

Just now, Huo Wenxi and Shi Nansheng were talking about the film project, and she couldn't interject a little, feeling that she was not a person from the world.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes, and they are inevitably sophisticated.

"Box office."

Chen Shiren is not willing to be lonely, and the studio officially announced that the actor of "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" is Wang Baoqiao, and was photographed by passers-by, and met with Lin Zhilin to discuss playing the heroine.

Zhou Yutang nodded: "You can just call Ni Ni directly about this matter, you don't need to come over." ”

"The market will give an answer then."

The "Qin Shi Mingyue Movie: The Dragon Soaring Ten Thousand Miles" was completed in one step ahead of "The Return of the Great Sage", and it is expected to be released next year.

Liu Shishi felt a little guilty.

I nodded very quickly.

This is already a rather staggering number, and the box office of "The Four Famous Catches" at this time can only reach 162 million.

Lao Wang usually doesn't praise people much, and the manager of the light publicity department is a little surprised, but thinking of the name of Zhou Yutang's producer and screenwriter, it seems understandable.

Looking at "Charlotte's Troubles" again, in addition to the producer of Zhou Yutang and Yang Mi, who has received a lot of bad movies, the group of Happy Twist is also a little famous for Shen Teng.

Zhou Yutang is not surprised by this.

Liu Shishi wrinkled his little face and sighed worriedly.

"Actually, I was passing by here, so I brought you some tea by the way."

But now this happy twist, a bunch of nameless people who have never heard of the name, it is difficult to become a climate.

"It seems to have fallen quite a bit." Ni Ni looked puzzled.

Huo Wenxi laughed softly: "The script of "Cold War 2" has been prepared and is ready to start shooting in the first half of next year."

Under normal circumstances, the box office on the first day accounts for 8% to 10% of the total box office of the film, so the box office of "Private Custom" really has hope to hit one billion.

Shi Nansheng also signed the contract in the conference room.

After communicating with Warner, "Super Body" is scheduled for the first week of May, which is also one of the hottest schedules there.

At the premiere of "The Four Famous Catches 2", Zhou Yutang will definitely go over to cheer.

On the way to the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles", Zhou Yutang looked at the comments on the Internet on the tablet and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, I'll ask."

Before the release of the movie, Huayi held an exclusive viewing party for institutional investors, and the stock price fell directly after watching it.

"Husband, I suddenly feel so stupid."

"How does the boss arrange the schedule, this is to meet Feng Xiaogang's "Private Custom" head-on."

Wang Lihong, a popular singer in Bay Province, registered his marriage in America with Li Lianglei, who was 10 years younger than him.

With the sad appearance of crying, even Liu Shishi couldn't help but feel pity when he saw it, pulled the corners of the clothes of the man next to him, and whispered:

"Nothing, I'm overreacting a bit"

And Xu Ke sat on the sofa, leisurely waiting to eat mangoes.

"Honey, I don't allow you to say that about Bingxue's smart self."

Top directors are so sought-after, almost everyone has several projects in their hands.

What is more surprising to Zhou Yutang is that the light side has also begun to lay out animated movies.

The two of them are one-on-one, and it is natural.

Yang Mi took the black and red route, in the past two years, in order to make money, it has been "Da Wudang" and "Little Times", and there is no movie that can be used.

Liu Shishi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the situation, and frequently glanced at Zhou Yutang.

"Recently, young directors in the circle are very powerful, director Zhou Yutang has set a new record at the box office of Chinese films, and Xu Zheng's first film has a box office of more than one billion, and I always feel that my era has turned a page."

Xu Ke served as the director, Zhou Yutang supervised the producer, and La Peikang and Wang Changtian were all producers.

Therefore, during the period after the completion of "The Return", in addition to the necessary announcement itinerary, Liu Shishi was in the capital most of the time, receiving special training on the role of several acting professors from the Yamashita School.

Zhou Yutang has already said that this movie is rushing for awards, and she has to show enough convincing acting skills.

Now look at his expression, which perfectly interprets what is realistic.

Close to her face, she could smell the scent of orchid on Shi Shi's body, Zhou Yutang's heartstrings seemed to be touched, picked up her light body, and walked towards the lounge.

"Ah Tang, congratulations on the completion of your new play."

"Honey, you've been so nice to me."

Zhou Yutang naturally attracted most of the media interviews,

"Director Zhou, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?"

This movie is far from "Embroidered Spring Knife" in terms of quality and reputation, but it is the only seedling of the theme of costume martial arts films in this year's Chinese New Year file, and there are no similar competitors.

But there are also many big celebrities present, after all, Zhou Yutang's status is here, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and his wife all came to cheer.

She is not very ambitious, but her professionalism is undoubted.

In this way, when the two movies with the same comedy theme collided, the box office on the light side was basically stabilized.

Some people take a look at it because of Zhou Yutang's producer and screenwriter, and some people compare it with "Private Custom".

"Sister Mani."

The entertainment reporters were still trying hard to step on it, but Zhou Yutang didn't hit the plan.

Huayi was ready to open champagne in advance, and Wang Changtian of the light had made a special trip to Jiangdong Entertainment to watch the finished movie.

Zhou Yutang beckoned, Ni Ni had already poured a cup of tea for her, Shi Nansheng and her were also old acquaintances, and they were very familiar with each other.

"Mr. Wang, it's a happy twist."

On the first day of the box office, many netizens lamented that Feng Xiaogang's treasure knife was not old.

Some time ago, Liu Shishi finished "Return", attended a business event, took a photo with Huo Wenxi, and also took a group photo and posted it on Weibo.

Mr. Xiao Wang tapped his finger on the table and said, "Manager Li, you go to implement the premiere first, and by the way, book a hotel, and the celebration banquet can also be arranged in advance." ”

The relationship between Liu Shishi and Zhou Yutang, Huo Wenxi naturally knew, but Shi Nansheng appeared here, which surprised her.

The specific details have been talked about many times before.

Zhou Yutang groaned slightly and made a joke: "Director Feng said that he was very lonely, and I hope to bring him a little surprise when the time comes." ”

came and went, but he was familiar with the two front desk girls: "Xiaoxue, your boss is in the company, right?" ”

"Where."

The traffic is bringing a lot, but there are a lot of black fans making waves.

Wang Changtian smiled slightly: "By the way, I didn't forget the invitation to Zhou Yutang for the premiere, I'll give him a call." ”

"Mr. Wang."

The news that "Charlotte's Troubles" is scheduled for December has triggered a series of chain reactions.

This time he returned to the field of comedy commercial films, and he liked to see the cannons.

Feng Xiaogang returned to direct the Chinese New Year comedy, and he and Ge You's gold medal combination of more than ten years, plus the older generation of ace screenwriter Wang Shuo personally wrote the script.

Huo Wenxi took Liu Shishi's hand very enthusiastically, and Zhou Yutang didn't know how the two had such a good relationship.

This achievement is not much of an explosion, but the total production cost of this film is only more than 5 million excluding public relations expenses.

Shi Nansheng did things neatly and agreed to help run "Chiling", which was her bargaining chip on the table.

On the American side, the Oscar shortlist will be announced in January, and Xavi's confidence is a little inflated, just saying that he will wait for good news.

The smoke of the Chinese New Year stalls is gradually rising, and the large conference room of Huayi Company,

"In this year's Chinese New Year file, there are only 20 movies, and from the perspective of the production cost of the film, the main competitors are "Police Investigation Story 2013", "Four Famous Arrests 2", and "Storm".

"There are several companies that have projects in contact with him, and our plan for "The Conjuring 2" is scheduled for the second half of next year at the earliest, and this guy's schedule is really full."

The key is that some media have picked up that the female doctoral student at Columbia University is suspected of having a fiancΓ©.

Pu Bajia, the long-lost brother, is really confused.
