China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 685 Sisterly Love, a hit series

As the saying goes.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

Several teams representing LPL in Paris, France encountered problems again.

Since the group stage started on October 1, the smooth process that fans expected did not happen.

It is unimaginable.

LGD, the LPL Summer Championship champion that was previously highly anticipated.

A big upset occurred in the group stage of the World Finals.

Gao Dewei, who made a bold statement during a live broadcast last month that he would reserve a skin for Zhou Yutang, became a hot topic on the search list.

He used the hero Varus in the game, in the last desperate game of returning home.

He was so panicked that he lost his mind. An arrow shot in the opposite direction, circled the earth, and pierced the hearts of countless Chinese LPL fans.

"Gao Dewei, are you a human?"

"I am absolutely certain that this jungler is definitely bought."

"Fuck, you guys don't deserve to be on a plane, swim back here, you disgraceful creatures."

"It's outrageous how bad it is. Is this the most promising year for our LPL?"

League of Legends has a huge influence among young people, and because of the time difference, some games have to wait until after midnight.

Many viewers even stayed up late to watch the game out of love for it.

LGD is the No. 2 seed of LPL. According to the rules of the competition, it is grouped together with the No. 3, 4, and seeds from other regions.

As a result, they were beaten one after another and failed to even qualify from the group stage.

After LGD was eliminated, another LPL team EDG was also eliminated.

EDG, which has the star player Zwiatani, did qualify from the group stage, but faced the European powerhouse FNC in the quarter-finals.

In the end, they were swept away with a score of 0:3 and failed to reach the semi-finals.

The LPL audience wailed and fell into despair.

The hope of the whole village rests on the Jiangdong team.
"There is only one Jiangdong left."

"Grand Commander, please help me! I've spent a lot of money on the Langya Bang online game!"

"The Jiangdong family's team should show some spirit."

"I'm scared. Jiangdong hasn't been strong this year. I'm a little scared to watch the game."

The Jiangdong team has been working on its lineup since it updated its lineup this year.

We lost the first game in the group stage, and won the second game with difficulty, and finally qualified from the group after stumbling.

At this time, at the moment when everyone was paying attention, the Jiangdong team stood up and defeated the South Korean KT team with a score of 3:0 in the quarter-finals held at the Wembley Stadium in London, England.

However, the remaining opponents are still strong.

They are two top South Korean teams, KOO Tigers and SKT, and the veteran European powerhouse FNC.

Among them, KOO Tigers is sponsored by Huya Live, a giant in China's live streaming industry.

Jiangdong Entertainment has been making a lot of money in South Korea, and many investors have started to develop strategies in South Korea.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

There are many film and television companies in South Korea, all of which have Chinese backgrounds.

There is even a chat software called Kakao that is positioned similar to China's WeChat, and its major shareholder is Penguin Pony.

Kakao Pay, the built-in payment system of KAKAO, is the work of Alibaba’s Ant Group behind the scenes, and it uses the Alipay system!

Zhou Yutang looked through the comments of netizens and communicated with the club's coaching team and training group.

And issued a death order.

He didn't want to hear any excuses, just a result:
That is,
Bring back this championship trophy.

During the filming of "Detective Chinatown 3", the editing work was already being carried out simultaneously, and the special effects team and the dubbing team also joined the group, so the post-production progress was very fast.

By late October, only the songs and some of the soundtracks were left.

Music composition is also an important task in the post-production of a film, especially for the suspenseful "Detective Chinatown", which requires music to create the atmosphere.

Zhou Yutang also found Zhao Yingjun, a famous musical genius in the circle.

His name is Yingjun, but he actually looks ordinary.

It’s just that in this world, some people make a living by their looks.

But some people make a living by their talent.

Zhao Yingjun is undoubtedly a talented music producer.

After making his debut through the talent show "My Style My Show", the song "Excitement 2005" became popular all over the country.

Later, he also participated in "Night Club" directed by Yang Qing.

"Lost in Thailand" set a box office record for domestic comedy films. The popular song "I Want to Be with You" in the movie was written by Zhao Yingjun.

It also includes the theme song of "The Pancake Man" and the theme song of "Lost in Hong Kong" "A Gentle Breeze" sung by the Queen herself, all of which were sung by this unattractive guy with a big afro.

"It's quite interesting to see myself appear in Mr. Zhou's movie, hehe."

Zhao Yingjun played Xiao Shen Yang's younger brother in the movie. Some of his scenes were deleted and he seemed to have a low presence.

But being able to appear in Zhou Yutang's movie made his face filled with a satisfied smile.

Nanzhengbeizhan is also one of the music creation teams behind the film.

Zhou Yutang personally likes to listen to the inspiring song "My Sky" while exercising.

So this time we also invited Nanzhengbeizhan to join the behind-the-scenes team collaboration,
"Sawadee Ka~~Detective Strange Made in China~~
Sabaidika~~A sure-fire way to make your balls hurt~~
Everyone loves him~Who says handsome guys can't have gold teeth~~
Flowers bloom when they see them~ Even the detective can stutter~~"

This song at the end of the movie sounds a bit magical, but the rhythm is very memorable, making people feel a little intoxicated when listening to it, which fits the mood of the movie very well.

"Could it be that the record of the Magic Thieves has been refreshed again?"

Ning Hao, who basically participated in the post-production work throughout the whole process, knew the quality of the film and muttered, "Will it be released during the Lunar New Year holiday?"

In this movie, the main focus is on Tang Ren and Qin Feng.

But the supporting characters also have a strong presence.

For example, Chen Chichi, Xiao Yang, and even Xiao Shenyang showed his comedic skills just right.

"If nothing else happens."

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said, "No problem."

After the post-production of the film was completed, he went to China Film Group to find La Peikang to confirm the release date a few days later.

There are still about two months left until the Lunar New Year holiday.

The company is already working on a promotional plan, including communication with TV stations, booking advertisements for popular variety shows and prime time slots.

It is still the Jiangdong system's S+ level full-channel resources that are pushing it forward, and it is bound to achieve two consecutive kills in the Magic Thief Universe.

After hearing the news from Zhou Yutang, the behind-the-scenes staff involved in the soundtrack were also delighted.

Zhou Yutang stood up, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you all for your hard work during this period. Let's celebrate together at the Dynasty Hotel tonight."

"Boss Zhou is awesome!"

“I wish Mr. Zhou a big box office success!”

By late October, the heat of the National Day period had gradually subsided, but the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies did not seem to have cooled down.

The Marvel superhero blockbuster "Ant-Man" was finally released, with a box office of 7588 million on the first day, successfully taking over the daily crown from "Now You See Me 2".

At this time, "Now You See Me 2" has already swept the entire Chinese film and television industry like a hurricane.

"Now You See Me 2" was released 22.15 days ago, and the total box office has climbed to billion, breaking the record for Chinese domestic films!"

“The magic show has amazed North America and performed well at the box office!”

"Reaching the top in Asia and expanding globally, Jiangdong Film and Television Entertainment's grand strategy is a success."

"The entertainment industry leader deserves the title. Zhou Yutang's crime universe series "Detective Chinatown" is worth looking forward to!"

"The glory of Chinese cinema has arrived!"

After witnessing Now You See Me 2 set a new box office record for Chinese movies, the audience was buzzing with excitement:
"The Grand Commander never speaks without a purpose. This is really a record."

"Guo Fan has really ascended to heaven in one step this time."

"It seems that the box office momentum in South Korea is also very strong."

"Oh my god, this series of movies is making a ton of money."

Some industry insiders are particularly excited and have already come out to give their opinions:
“Congratulations to Zhou Yutang for creating a miracle of domestic commercial blockbuster.

"Thieves" made 11.28 billion, "Now You See Me 1" made 16.92 billion, and based on the current trend, "Now You See Me 2" will have to make at least 23 billion.

This is just the box office of mainland movies, which has already reached more than 50 billion. The entire series of movies has continuously broken the box office record of domestic movies. This shows that the depth of the box office of our Chinese film market has made great progress compared to last year. It is expected that the box office ceiling will exceed 30 billion within this year.

Since the beginning of the year.

China added 8,000 new screens this year!
The total number of screens has reached 31562!
The entire market capacity is completely different from last year.

I saw that Jiangdong Entertainment was making a lot of money in the Chinese film market.

Who is not jealous?

Who wouldn't envy it?

Who is not moved?

All of a sudden, all major companies in the film and television industry began to make big moves.

The first is the Jiangdong director Zhang Yimou. The spokesperson of the studio officially announced: "Director Zhang will soon leave for Thailand. The new play "The Great Buddha" will be filmed in Bangkok. The cast includes Fan Wei, Ge You, Luo Jialiang, Hou Tianlai, Gao Ye, and Jiang Qiming."

As we all know, this movie is based on a script that won the Gold Award for Screenwriting.

It is said that it was praised by both Zhou Yutang and Zhang Yimou, and is also one of the realistic themes that the film and television industry pays more attention to.

Feng Xiaogang, the trump card of Huayi Films and one of the three most established directors in China, also publicly stated on a variety show:
"By the end of the year, I will start the filming plan for I Am Not Madame Bovary!"

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation in the circle again.

This is adapted from Liu Zhenyun's novel and is his first novel after winning the Mao Dun Literature Prize.

It satirizes reality, officialdom, and human nature, and has profound connotations.

Obviously, Feng Xiaogang, who said he didn't care about the award, was very honest in his actions.

After all, the three major domestic directors, including the top-tier director Zhou Yutang of the younger generation, all have won prestigious awards and honors.

However, he only won the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, Huabiao and Golden Broom awards, which lacked persuasiveness.

This is a movie with women as the main characters, and it has also attracted the attention of many big stars in the industry.

The hot film market has attracted a crazy influx of hot money.

The entire entertainment industry is full of vitality and everything is booming.

Da Mimi also ushered in her own spring.

"Mi Mi, Ms. Zeng, Ms. Zhao, we are a family from now on."

Tang Lijun smiled and shook hands with Yang Mi, Zeng Jia, and Zhao Ruoyao one after another: "After confirming the contract, the first payment will be received within three days."

"Mr. Tang, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Yang Mi had a calm smile on her face, and she couldn't suppress her excitement at all.

The same is true for Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao.

Soon, SMG Shangshi Pictures and Mixing Media jointly announced: "Shangshi Pictures will invest 3.8 million yuan to subscribe to 20% of Mixing Media's equity. At the same time, the two parties signed a gambling agreement." "Within three years, a net profit of million after tax is achieved, and the company's core management personnel and core artists are not allowed to leave?"

As soon as the company meeting ended, Zhou Yutang took the time to reply to Da Mimi's message: "Congratulations, Sister Mi, you finally got what you wanted."

"What are you doing?"

"getting ready to sleep."

In fact, Zhou Yutang was on his way to Nazha's house.

The project of "The Meg" will be officially announced at the end of the month. At that time, Nazha will go abroad for closed training for a period of time. He has to hurry up to tutor his good sister in foreign languages.

No matter how hard it is, education cannot be hard.

"You're kidding! Going to bed at seven?! I guess he's going to fool around with some vixen again!"

Da Mimi was also a fox spirit and used her trump card immediately.

Beep beep!

The phone screen vibrated, Zhou Yutang unlocked it and his eyes lit up.

The wealthy and generous Sister Mi started driving again.

This is not as simple as just a little flirtation.

The scale is so large that it can make people's nose bleed, but this is a benefit exclusive to Zhou Yutang.

"Sister Mi, I'm suddenly not sleepy anymore."

Zhou Yutang preserved this enchanting photo with critical purposes.

This dog man is really a dog!
Da Mimi curled her lips and shook her voice: "Did Chen Yuqi from Tang Yan's family take the role in your play?"

Zhou Yutang said directly: "She is eliminated. What Chen Yuqi? Her overall quality is far inferior to Chen Yao."

"Good taste."

Da Mimi tried to win over Zhou Yutang by making a sweet sound: "Then why don't you use Yaomei?"

"How tall is Chen Yao?"

"Well, about 168cm tall, just right for acting with you." Da Mimi's voice sounded a little guilty.

"You can fool me, but don't fool yourself."

Zhou Yutang chuckled and said, "She has a good temperament, but she is a little tall and doesn't quite fit the role."

Don’t be fooled by Chen Yao’s baby face and bangs in “Wuxin: The Monster Killer”, she looks like a cute little loli.

In fact, she is tall and has long legs. Jiangdong’s database clearly records that she is about the same height as Tang Yan, at least 173cm.

Female celebrities in the entertainment industry will have difficulty getting roles if they are taller than 1 meters, so they will try every possible means to change their height.

The situation is just the opposite for male celebrities. They are not tall enough, so when they attend events, they use all kinds of black-tech height-increasing insoles.

Jiang Dong did a good job of keeping it secret. There were many speculations from the outside world. Yang Mi was also a little overly curious: "Who was used in the end?"

"That IU? Kim Ji-won? Zhou Dongyu? Or Zhang Tianai from your company?"

"Does it look good?"

Zhou Yutang was a little overwhelmed after she sent more than a dozen messages in a row. He casually sent her a photo, "She's a newcomer, average looking, Teacher Yu thinks she has a good temperament."

“Is this what you call beautiful?”

Yang Mi really wanted to suffocate him to death with her big vagina.

However, it is acceptable that Tang Yan’s people were not selected.

Then, I asked Zhou Yutang about her gambling contract.

This form of cooperation is quite common in the industry. For example, Huayi acquired Zhang Guoli's Changsheng Film and Television for 2.52 million yuan two years ago.

The two parties signed a five-year gambling contract, but Lao Zhang's annual profit pressure is at most tens of millions.

Not only this, but Zhang Guoli is under great pressure. At such an old age, he has to frequently take on acting jobs, variety shows, and various endorsements.

Da Mimi's gambling contract can be described as harsh.

However, considering the dividends from "The Pancake Man" this year, plus the money earned by Da Mimi, there is no pressure for MiBank to achieve a profit of over 100 million this year.

With the advent of the capital era, the pay of celebrities has skyrocketed.

A hard-working person like Yang Mi can support the entire company by herself.

I don’t know if the two beauties in The Legend of Sword and Fairy have telepathic connection, but Zhou Yutang was chatting with Da Mimi when news about Tang Yan also came.

Tangtang's starting position is quite direct, with her slender legs bent and put together, reflecting a milky white glow under the light.
Just arrived downstairs of Nazha's house, Zhou Yutang was about to reply to the message saying that he was going to take a shower, but when he saw the photo of her legs, he was polite and stayed to chat with her in the car.

Tang Yan asked Yang Mi whether Chen Yao had been chosen as the female lead. The two Fairy Sword sisters were still throwing smoke bombs at each other in private.

Zhou Yutang found it quite amusing and made a phone call to explain briefly.

"Chen Yao didn't get selected, that's good."

Even through the phone, I could hear Tang Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Chen Yuqi was a little disappointed that Zhou Yutang didn't like her, fortunately, Chen Yao from Yang Mi's family was not chosen either.

"How's the filming of A Chinese Odyssey going?"

"Oh, it's hard to put it into words."

Tangtang sighed and complained about the bad things that happened on the crew.

Zhou Yutang laughed.

Liu Zhenwei never thought about making a good movie.

He just wants to exploit the fans of the Westward Journey series under the banner of sentimentality.

With a crew like this, where everyone follows the same pattern and is like a pile of loose sand, what can they achieve?
Tang Yan is not stupid, she has seen the world. Filming in Jiangdong is completely different from filming in Liu Zhenwei's crew.

"Look at it more positively, maybe it's not as bad as you think."

"Thank you, I'm feeling much better."

Tang Yan pursed her lips and smiled.

He is a bit of a scumbag, but he still knows how to comfort people.

"When the movie is released, you will be compared with Athena Chu, and that will be the real big move."

Zhou Yutang's warm encouragement gradually made Tang Yan's smile disappear. She said coquettishly, "Will you die if you don't act weird?"

Before filming started, I listened to people’s promises, was full of confidence, and felt that I was invincible.

But now that I have discovered the problem, I have a calm head and realize that reality is cruel.

Just as Zhou Yutang said, Zhu Yin blinked, which is a classic scene in many people's memories, but it is not so easy to challenge.

What should I do?

Tang Yan gritted her teeth, she wished she could use her long legs to crush the governor to death.

"Alas, the company has a new drama. I wanted to say hello to Jiang Xueluan to see if there is a role suitable for Chen Yuqi. Forget it."

"What kind of show is this?"

"The play at the Mist Theatre."

"I want it, I want it, I want it!"

Tang Yan quickly became happy: "What about Gao Yuanyuan's play? I saw on the news that Huang Xiaoming was invited to star in it?"

"My Dangerous Wife" is also in preparation. Gao Yuanyuan is undoubtedly the leading female role. As for the cheating scumbag husband, Zhou Yutang plans to use Huang Xiaoming.

He plays the role of a domineering CEO every day, and Zhou Yutang plans to let him play a stupid scumbag to refresh the audience's eyes.

There is a mistress in the play, a young, beautiful woman with corrupt morals.

She is a green tea type with some scheming, but she seems to be of a low level compared to the intelligent and resourceful character of the heroine.

The role is not that big, but if it is performed well it can still impress the audience.

Nazha sent a message saying that she was still in yoga class, so Zhou Yutang simply chatted with Tang Yan for a while.

The long-legged little coquettish girl in Shanghai is not as popular as the goddess or the number one sister, but she is also a well-known post-80s girl in the circle.

This year, there was a TV series produced by Huanrui called "Fragrance", which almost broke 2% in ratings, and was also a rare hit.

Naturally, she has no shortage of resources.

Not long ago, he received a film contract, a Sino-Korean co-production "So, I Married an Anti-Fan" with Tea Egg member Park Chanyeol.

The story is quite interesting, as it brings the relationship between celebrities and their black fans to the surface.

When a star and his anti-fan live together, get to know each other, and clear up all the misunderstandings, the relationship between the two improves in the process, and they slowly discover the good in each other, and then there is the happy ending that everyone loves to see.

"Sounds interesting."

"There are two options now. One is to bring in money, and the other is to just get paid for the film."

Tang Yan probably envied Da Mimi for having tasted the sweetness, and also wanted to try to invest in a film and television project, so she pestered Zhou Yutang for his opinion: "Which one do you think I should choose?"

"Just take the pay."

Without even thinking, Zhou Yutang said directly: "What Park Chanyeol, he doesn't have any box office appeal."

Furthermore, the subject matter of this movie is too niche.

It revolves around anti-fans and celebrities.

Apart from having some appeal to star-chasers, it is probably difficult for ordinary people to feel involved.

The Tea Egg band, which was very popular in Asia in the past two years and even had the hope of reaching the top, has come to an end.

Following Wu Yifan, Lu Han and Huang Zitao, another member, Zhang Yixing, has also established his own studio and is preparing to return to China for development.

As a popular young actor, he got a role in the movie "Kung Fu Yoga" starring Jackie Chan right after he debuted, and also had a role in "Mr. Good".

The single-day box office of "Now You See Me 2" finally dropped.

Due to the high exposure brought by the early omni-channel promotion, all the audiences who should have seen it have already seen it, but they have applied for an extension key.

"Lost in Hong Kong" grossed 15.68 billion yuan at the box office, completely failing to make any progress and ranking second during the National Day holiday. At the same time, the film company also applied for an extension key and announced that the screening would be postponed to November 11.

Maoyan estimated that the box office would be over 16 billion, so Xu Guangtou personally went to Jiangdong to discuss the box office share.

When Zhou Yutang released the copyright of the "囧" series, in addition to a considerable buyout fee, the contract details included a share of the box office revenue.

The final box office has not yet come out, but the data department can deduce the approximate range.

The two financial departments were doing the accounting together. Guangtou Xu felt a little painful and smacked his lips: "Boss Zhou, you made all the money."

"I just made a small profit, so you won't lose anything anyway." Zhou Yutang smiled.

The off-market profits from the "Hot Stir-Fry" series have enabled Xu Guangtou to achieve a class leap.

"In front of President Zhou, it's just a small fight."

Xu Guangtou said in a very positive tone: "I hope we can have a chance to cooperate next time."

When the movie was first released, he was still a little dizzy, but after being hit on the head by "The Devil's Crew", his mind gradually became clear.

There are also gaps between capitals.

In front of Zhou Yutang, he was still as respectful as ever and knew how to be humble.

Zhou Yutang didn't even need to go to China Film Group. La Peikang personally came to Jiangdong Entertainment to discuss the release schedule of "Detective Chinatown 3".

Simultaneously.

It also brought a speechless request.
