China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 679: I just want to make progress, the new film of the national teacher

"The talented Qilin, Meilang of Jiangzuo."

"If you get it, you can get the world."

"A volume of Fengyun Langya Bang contains all the extraordinary talents in the world."

Hu Ge has always appeared in front of the audience as a cheerful street punk.

But in "Nirvana in Fire".

Mei Changsu played the flute across the river and amazed countless audiences.

What is costume and props?

What is texture?
Jiangdong Entertainment and Noon Sunshine have joined forces to set an example for domestic dramas.

It also taught a good lesson to some film and television companies in the industry that are not so focused on the content of the works themselves.

“Finally I can eat something good!”

The audience, deeply poisoned by Abao's color, burst into tears.

In the first few episodes, the grudges and conflicts in the court were particularly vivid through the actors' wonderful performances.

The restrained love scene is well-played and does not overshadow the main plot.

As the story progresses.

Since Mei Changsu came to the capital, the princes have been competing to please him.

He randomly selected three young boys, taught them sword formations, and easily defeated Baili Qi while chatting and laughing.

Besides being full of style, it is exactly the style of a cool novel, scratching the audience's itch and making people feel inexplicably happy after reading it.

That night.

The average viewership rating of Shanghai Tomato TV has exceeded 2, and the Jiangsu TV station is not far behind.

"Nirvana in Fire" is really popular.

The main creators of the crew began to step up the publicity work for the drama.

There is also a lot of discussion on the Internet.

There aren't that many fans of the original novel, after all, this isn't a big IP explosion.

But the few fans of the original novel, including the author himself, have expressed their recognition and praise for the quality of the drama.

Of course, there is also a certain audience.

Questions were raised about the logic of the story and the rationality of the plot.

This is also a common problem among female authors.

But in terms of the overall story rhythm, the flaws do not outweigh the merits.

Mei Changsu, who was burdened with a deep hatred, endured the pain and carried out an unparalleled plan despite his frail body.

Hu Ge's play was not performed in vain. As far as this play was concerned, it did give the audience a big surprise.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you were originally scheduled to play Mei Changsu in this drama?"

Just a few days before the movie premiere, Zhou Yutang took time out from pushing the post-production progress of the movie to appear on Yang Lan's show.

Compared with Ba Yu's deliberate rhythm-setting style, Zhou Yutang prefers Yang Lan's way of communication.

"At that time, Mr. Hou Hongliang of Noon Sunshine, as well as directors Kong Sheng and Li Xue, did talk to me."

"Then why did Hu Ge get the role?" Yang Lan asked curiously.

“I just couldn’t spare the time at that time.”

Zhou Yutang smiled faintly: "We have to shoot the final season of "Celebrating Yu Nian", and "Detective Chinatown", and then do the post-production of a movie, and a drama...Hu Ge was still acting in a drama at that time, right?"

“It’s a dream-like dream directed by Lai Shengchuan.”

Yang Lan responded appropriately: "I saw it at Poly Theatre. The performance was wonderful."

"I discussed this with Mr. Hou and Director Kong, and prepared two plans for Zhu Yilong and Hu Ge."

"You have a very good relationship with these two."

"Yes."

Zhou Yutang nodded and smiled, "Later, Brother Long's schedule also had problems, so I said, let's go with Hu Ge. I called Lao Hu directly, and he agreed without even thinking about it."

"Does this count as an internal decision?" Yang Lan smiled intelligently.

"It's not an internal decision. Hu Ge came for an audition, and Mr. Hou, Director Kong, and Director Li all recognized his acting skills, so they decided on him."

Zhou Yutang said leisurely: "It turns out that this role was chosen very successfully."

"It's really successful. I watch the show every night."

Yang Lan brought the conversation back to the movie: "Regarding the movie Now You See Me 2, I believe that many viewers, like me, have been following the original Rogue Alliance series."

"Fan Binbin in that drama was really amazing, and the twist at the end was also very exciting, but it's a pity...you and Binbin didn't end up together."

“Life is always full of regrets.”

Zhou Yutang laughed when he heard this: "I have a pretty good relationship with Sister Binbin. I was in Hollywood a few days ago, and she happened to be filming there, so we made an appointment to have dinner together."

"In the Thief of Thieves series, Akai is a very important character. In fact, enough hints about Akai's character setting have been given in the first film, and many netizens are very smart and have dug out many key details and information."

"Tarot lovers mean more choices. Looking back now, Akai is the king of the entire K organization. Although he seems to be a playboy, he actually has his own more determined goals."

"What is it?" Yang Lan asked curiously.

“No spoilers here.”

Zhou Yutang kept the secret a secret and did some publicity naturally: "When the time comes, everyone will go to the cinema to watch Now You See Me 2, and I believe you will find the answer."

The purpose of participating in the talk show is, of course, to promote the movie and attract as much attention from the media and potential audiences as possible.

Yang Lan smiled and said: "When the time comes, I will definitely go to see it. I believe many viewers are looking forward to this movie."

After cooperating in promoting the movie, Yang Lan continued, "Everyone knows that in addition to being a director and an actor, you are also the boss of an entertainment company."

"In addition, another identity is the helmsman of the Premier League giants Liverpool."

Yang Lan had obviously done in-depth research on Zhou Yutang before the interview, even including the new season of Liverpool:
"In the new season's Red Devils Derby, Liverpool beat Manchester United 3-1, which is enough to show that the team's transfer operation was very successful and it has been reborn.

I'm sure everyone is curious about how you came up with the idea of ​​using such a large sum of money to acquire such a Premier League football club. "

"I personally have always had a deep love and passion for football, but more importantly it is the company's international development strategy."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "The acquisition of Liverpool is also an important step for Jiangdong Group to layout the entire European market."

"After all, football is the world's number one sport." Yang Lan nodded.

“Yes, Liverpool is a Premier League giant with a huge fan base and high attention around the world. The team was at a low point at that time and the valuation was reasonable.

From a commercial investment perspective, this club also has great room for development and appreciation potential. I believe this investment will bring me good commercial returns.”

"The sports industry is also an important direction for future global economic development. Through this window, the world can also hear the voice of our country."

"The name Red Army also sounds very familiar."

Yang Lan listened carefully, nodded slightly from time to time, and continued to ask: "I saw a news report not long ago that the Jiangdong charity fund has established many football schools in northern Xinjiang and Guangxi Province."

"That's an idea we've had for a long time. Chinese football needs to catch up with the international advanced level. In the future, Liverpool's excellent coaching team will come to China for exchanges every year. If there are good talents in China, they will directly enter Liverpool's youth training system."

"Going abroad to play football seems to be a luxury for some families in our country." Yang Lan shook her head.

"As long as you have talent, I will pay for your training abroad."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "Change requires a process. We can't see anything right now, but maybe in the near future, we can explore a new path for the development of football in our country."

“You said it very well.”

Yang Lan stood in awe and said: "I am looking forward to the day when our country's football can have such a day."

During the period, some more questions were asked, and Zhou Yutang answered them fluently.

Seeing that the interview time was almost up, Yang Lan suddenly asked a question that was not in the script, perhaps out of inspiration:

"Mr. Zhou, some people say that you have achieved incredible success now. If you were as rich as you are, you could stop and enjoy life."

"Why do you continue to work in the film and television industry?"

Yang Lan asked with an intellectual and elegant smile.

After all, he is an experienced host with solid skills.

This is actually a rather personal question, but it will undoubtedly satisfy the public’s curiosity about the life choices of successful people.

"For a while, I focused my main energy on running the company, and I had endless meetings every day. That was not the life I wanted."

"It still depends on everyone's definition of enjoying life."

Zhou Yutang smiled faintly: "I applied for the Film Academy because I liked it in the beginning, and then entered the film and television industry."

"It's the same now. I still love this industry and want to go further on this path. I also want to bring something to the entire industry."

"Perhaps, one day in the future, I will say goodbye to the film and television industry, but it is definitely not now."

Zhou Yutang's tone was calm, but his smile was somewhat dazzling.

Yang Lan was stunned for a moment.

In this job, she naturally interviewed many top figures in many fields.

There are celebrities in the cultural world who have sharp words and unique views.

There is focus and persistence in the sports world beyond talent.

The feeling Zhou Yutang gave her was not like those successful stars in the entertainment industry.

Instead, he has the calm and composed demeanor of a big shot in the political and business circles who makes light of important matters.

Her manners are elegant, her conversation is sharp, her words are wise, and her smile is gentle.

Compared to the handsome and daring look he showed when he first came on her show, Zhou Yutang, with his more mature temperament, is more likely to touch the hearts of mature women.

The recording of the program has been completed. Due to excessive content, it is expected to be divided into two parts and broadcast in conjunction with the promotion of the movie.

"Nirvana in Fire" came out of nowhere and its popularity has been rising.

After surpassing its rival "The Whirlwind Girl" during the same period, Shanghai Tomato TV and Jiangsu TV took the top two spots on the ratings list of first-tier TV stations.

The Douban score is as high as 9.5, which is the highest among all domestic TV series aired this year.

Not only did it become a hit on TV after it was broadcast, with the full support of online streaming platforms B Station and Penguin Video, it also sparked heated discussions among the public on the Internet.

Thanks to the countless fans’ comments, this TV series has become unprecedentedly popular and even a core topic on social media.

"It's so cool to be a fan of Jiangdong dramas. There are two more dramas at the end of the year!" "Hu Ge's Mei Changsu is so handsome, and Kai Kai Wang is also good."

"That Commander Meng looks so familiar."

"This is Xie Miao, don't you know him? The movie 'A Letter to Dad' where he partnered with the Kung Fu Emperor is so classic."

"Oh my god, he actually made a comeback, and his fighting scenes are pretty good."

Apart from Hu Ge, other characters in this ensemble drama also reaped a lot of benefits.

The popularity of Prince Yu played by Kai Kai Wang has soared.

In addition to him, another signed artist under Jiangdong is Xie Miao.

He was originally a nobody in the entertainment industry, but now he has received this huge wealth.

At this moment, Xie Miao was filming in a foreign country with the crew of Operation Mekong. When he finished work in the evening, he received a message from his wife.

"Honey, we have two film contracts."

"Looking for me?" Xie Miao was stunned.

"My great commander Meng, you may not know this yet, Nirvana in Fire is a hit, and so are you!"

Xie Miao felt a little elated by his wife's happy voice.

He checked online and found that his Weibo account had gained tens of thousands of followers.

How long has this show been on?
The new followers are all real people following the drama.

Moreover, every time you refresh the page, you can see the number of followers increasing rapidly.

"Thank you, meow, for your hard work."

"I watched the movie with you and the Emperor of Kung Fu when I was a kid."

"Commander Meng performed really well, keep it up!"

"I really like the role of Commander Meng. I support him!"

"Congratulations! With the support of the Grand Commander, you are going to be famous!"

Most of them are heartwarming messages from fans, which were like a warm current flowing into Xie Miao's heart.

All the tiredness from the day was swept away in an instant, and Xie Miao was instantly recharged. While chatting with his wife, he carefully replied to every message from the fans who supported him.

I felt inexplicably touched.

He originally thought.

Life is like this, with ups and downs, and this is how life is.

It just makes my wife suffer with me.

This is the first time I feel that there is hope in life.

Just as the fan who left the message said:
All thanks to the support of the Grand Commander!
He thought of what Zhou Yutang had said, and with a jolt of energy, he sat up from the bed:
"Wife, Mr. Zhou said that the company will produce more action scenes next year and the year after."

"Then you have to seize this opportunity. By the way, have you sent a message to Mr. Zhou?"

When I received Xie Miao’s sincere message of thanks.

Zhou Yutang had just finished comforting Da Meiyu.

Gao Yuanyuan just attended a class reunion and posted photos of her classmates, whom she had been with for 20 years, on Weibo.

After catching the dolls, several people held the small dolls in their hands, and playfully drew small mustaches on their faces, and took happy photos.

Gao Yuanyuan is extremely beautiful.

I was originally very happy, but it happened to be the military training and back-to-school season, so it was inevitable that the female intellectual felt a little sad.

"Mr. Zhou, the online broadcast has exceeded 10 billion."

Uncle Chen Rui reports the playback volume on time every morning, which is even more punctual than the alarm clock.

According to Jiang Xuehuan, the broadcast results of her two consecutive TV series have exceeded expectations.

Good news came frequently and Zhou Yutang was in a good mood.

Making money is beyond doubt.

The influence of the Jiangdong label continues to grow.

TV series are the main business of Jiangdong Entertainment, and their ability to make money is no worse than that of movies, and may even surpass it.

Next, there is another drama "The Journey of Flower" to be broadcast, which is also a beautifully produced fantasy drama and is worth looking forward to.

Zhou Yutang asked about the progress of "Joy of Life 3", and it is almost in the final stage, and it will take until the National Day roadshow is over at most.

This is the finale of the entire "Joy of Life" series. With the popularity of the previous two seasons, the industry has already reserved the title of the annual drama king for it.

Su Mang sent out invitations for this year's Bazaar Charity Dinner in advance.

Zhou Yutang was busy with the post-production of a movie, so he asked Ni Ni to participate in his place.

In addition to donating money, buy some more goods.

The first episode of "Yang Lan Interview" was broadcast as scheduled.

This is a good proof of Zhou Yutang's title of ratings king.

This talk show set a new record in ratings!
The content of this episode mainly revolves around Zhou Yutang's achievements in film and television.

After the broadcast, countless netizens were shocked.

It turns out that Zhou Yutang's record in the film and television industry is nothing short of amazing.

It was a smooth and passive way of pretending to be powerful, and it also allowed the audience to understand the behind-the-scenes story of the currently popular "Nirvana in Fire", as well as the related revelations behind the creation of the upcoming movie "Now You See Me 2".

……

Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" continued to perform strongly in its second week, grossing 5 million yuan.

After 13 days of release, the cumulative box office reached 7.67 million yuan, surpassing "Terminator: Genisys" starring the Governor and Dragon Mother.

The latter's final box office revenue was 7.25 million.

After Jiang Dong's "The Sun Also Rises" was withdrawn from theaters, other domestic films such as "The Age of Male Gods", "The Age of Innocence", and "The Tomb of the Ancient Swordsmen" failed to withstand the pressure and were killed.

The industry is waiting to see what happens.

This year's National Day holiday is clearly a fierce battle between the two films "Lost in Hong Kong" and "Now You See Me".

One is the sequel to the囧 series that created the comedy box office myth, and the other movie is the magic crime universe carefully created by Zhou Yutang.

Strictly speaking, the "囧" series was also created by Zhou Yutang.

It started with "Lost on Journey" and became a huge hit with "Lost in Thailand".

It opened up a new track for domestic comedies, cashed out when its value reached its peak, and reached a subsequent copyright transaction with Huanxi for the "囧" series of films.

It was a sensation.

"Now You See Me" is the masterpiece of the "Now You See Me" series, which broke a series of domestic box office records with great force and even made a great response in Hollywood.

The production companies that originally planned to share the cake during the National Day holiday are now afraid of tigers and wolves.

Huayi Company was the first to make the decision to move the release of the movie "Ex-Files 10", which was originally scheduled for October, to November.

Xu Guangtou's "Lost in Hong Kong" held its premiere first, with great fanfare.

It successfully took the lead in the National Day box office and delivered a nearly perfect answer.

The cumulative box office on the first day was 1.99 million!
It set the highest single-day box office record for a comedy film!
At the same time, it also easily crushed the South Korean annual box office myth "Assassination", which was coming in full force.

The producers of "Assassination" feel that there is potential in the Chinese film market.

Under the leadership of director Choi Dong-hoon, male leads Lee Jung-jae, Ha Jung-woo and goddess Jun Ji-hyun flew to China together.

In order to promote "Assassination" in China, a lot of press releases were purchased.

However, with 12% of the screening time for the film, the box office on the first day only reported 462 million, which poured cold water on the creators.

The next day, the production team cancelled the promotional plan and flew back to South Korea.
A shocking news spread in the circle.

After the cheating scandal, Tao Zheji actually made a new song praising the love between husband and wife.

Lao Mouzi's energy is really unspeakable.

After "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" at the beginning of the year, I worked with Tian Zhuangzhuang and Shi Qing on "Yang Guifei".

This was the movie in which Zhou Yutang once stood up for Teacher Fan and criticized the famous South Korean director Guo Zairong.

After Guo Zairong was kicked out, the investors, film titles, scripts and directors changed several times.

Even the cast has undergone a major change, with two of the original main cast members, Wang Lihong and Oguri Shun, both of whom are Asian male idols, having withdrawn.

Teacher Fan brought her own money into the crew and was one of the investors. In the end, the film suffered a huge loss at the box office, and she was very upset behind the scenes.

Zhang Yimou’s next film, “The Big Buddha,” is finally nearing completion.

A meeting was held at the company, and Fu Lulu, the casting director of Lao Mouzi's team, handed over the list of actors:
"Fan Wei, Ge You, Luo Jialiang, Hou Tianlai, Gao Ye."

Zhou Yutang looked at the casting list submitted by Fu Lulu and nodded slightly.

Basically all the cast are veteran actors.

There are a few minor supporting roles left, which have not yet been confirmed. Zhou Yutang chose the role of the convenience store clerk:
"Let Jiang Qiming go up."

"The young man that the company just signed?" Lao Mouzi was a little curious.

"He's quite smart. Director Zhang, please guide him."

Zhou Yutang laughed softly.

Zhang Yimou did not hesitate and nodded directly, asking Fu Lulu to add Jiang Qiming's name to the list.

The script of this movie won last year’s Gold Award for Screenwriting. The original author is from Taiwan and the story is set in Taiwan.

There was no doubt that the line was crossed and the script had to be adjusted several times.

It was only after Zhou Yutang personally stepped in to mediate that the relationship was established.

However, it can only be filmed in Tyrande.

A cultural exchange program.

Zhou Yutang just hoped that the beautiful governor would not be offended.

Since Lost in Thailand, any Jiangdong-themed movie with a slightly over-the-top content has been directly moved to Thailand for filming.

"SPL 2", "The Accidental Detective", "The Tuner".
It seems that the people of Tyrande are particularly simple.
ps: National football team, ah, ah, ah! ! !
