China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 772: Popular all over the world, secret operation

In the novels about cultivating immortals, there are three thousand great ways, but in fact, they are nothing more than looking at two things:

One is the root, the other is the cause and condition.

For mortals, cultivating immortality is a dead end, after all, not everyone is called Han Li.

Those holy sons and daughters who came from immortal sects.

In addition to one's own innate talent, what is more important is the allocation of resources from the sect.

It is built with the best elixirs and skills, and then taught by the elders of the sect.

In this way, a smooth road to heaven can be paved for them.

Destined to rise rapidly.

The same applies in the entertainment industry.

Yuanying-stage masters such as Director Chen, Xu Jinglei, and others are using their own resources to pave the way and train the next generation.

Provide high-quality resources, wait until the time is right, and then organize an award. This can be considered outstanding.

If they are Yuanying ancestors, then Zhou Yutang is a powerful incarnation who can call the wind and rain.

Jiangdong Entertainment is equivalent to the holy land of the supreme immortal sect in the novels about cultivating immortals.

The holy lady of Jiangdong's own sect is undoubtedly Yang Chaoyue.

People in the industry often say that God is chasing her and feeding her, and there is some truth to that.

Zhou Yutang has his own experience on how to make female stars famous.

After the era of coal bosses, it was the Grand Governor who dominated the trend.

How many female stars have been made famous by him single-handedly, operating behind the scenes?
Unlike Da Tiantian who initially relied on variety shows to increase her popularity, Xiao Jinli already has her own popularity base and what she needs is a role that suits her.

Too complicated roles are definitely not suitable, and Xiao Jinli’s acting skills are still a little immature at this stage.

Zhou Yutang was thinking about how to arrange it.

Suddenly I saw the news about the press conference of the TV series "Little Farewell" held in Beijing.

Huang Sanshi and Haiqing are teacher and student in real life, but they play a middle-aged couple in the drama.

Sister Zifeng, Zhao Jinmai, and the three little ones are also in this drama.

The success of "Mr. Good" has proved that urban family emotional dramas that focus on daily life have a stable base of viewership.

The key is that the cost of shooting is not high.

Having tasted the sweetness, Su Xiao firmly believed in what Zhou Yutang said. "Little Farewell" is also the guaranteed work of Lemon Pictures this year.

A middle-aged father, a strong mother, and a rebellious girl in her youth.

Some time ago, when Su Xiao came to visit the Xiangshan crew, Zhou Yutang heard him mention that he wanted to make "Little Farewell" into a series, and the subsequent scripts were already under development.

Thinking about this, Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly.
"Otherwise, this is the sequel..."

……

Ms. Zhao from Cehua, who just met Zhou Yutang in Shanghai, has been feeling upset recently.

Hand in hand with Shangshi Pictures, the company spent a huge sum of money to acquire the film rights to "Love O2O".

The film also invited top stars including Yang Yang and Zheng Shuang, which was a luxurious lineup. On the first day of its release, the box office exceeded 50 million.

Netizens compared it with the drama version.

The unanimous assessment is that it lags behind in all aspects.

There is a big problem with any movie adaptation of a TV series, especially this kind of romantic TV series.

That is because of the length of the narrative, the completeness of the entire story is a bit thin compared to the drama version.

However, with the hugely popular TV series version as a precedent, the popularity of the film is not low.

No need to over-market.

Nazha’s fans and Zheng Shuang’s fans were at odds with each other.

The fans of Chen Xiao and Yang Yang were also having a huge fight.

Several fans tore the sky apart online, but the movie encountered an unexpected incident on the first day of its release.

In less than half a day, pirated resources spread wildly on the Internet and could not be stopped at all, which had a huge impact on the box office.

Just imagine, within just a few days, millions of netizens have already watched the gun version.

Who is willing to be a sucker and pay to go to the cinema to watch the genuine version?
Although Cehua has reported the case to the police, it still requires a process of investigation and evidence collection, and the current box office losses are real.

In the first week of its release, "Love O1.17O" grossed million yuan, but the daily box office has dropped to around million yuan.

The box office estimate given by Maoyan app is around 2.5 million yuan, which is roughly break-even compared to the entire investment cost.

However, it is better than "Summer Is Here", which has two top returning stars. After the latter struggled to make over 100 million yuan at the box office, it began to stagnate and its potential is about to be exhausted.

"Boss, Director Cao asked when the celebration party will be held."

"Ask Sister Shuang and let her arrange it."

On the way to the meeting, Ni Ni took the time to report her work to Zhou Yutang.

After the box office of "The Dark Knight" exceeded 400 million, the growth rate slowed down and the top spot was handed over to "Line Walker".

Most of the box office potential has already been realized, so arranging a celebration party at this time is not like popping champagne at halftime.

As they were talking, the driver stopped the car.

Ministry of Rites, here we are.

……

"Our online culture and entertainment industry is developing rapidly and promoting the development of the online culture market.

It has played a positive role in enriching the people's cultural and entertainment activities, expanding and guiding cultural consumption, but there are also many irregularities..."

In the large conference room of the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Yutang was dressed in a crisp, straight-cut crimson blue suit, with half of his white shirt showing at his collar.

Wearing a pair of elegant and gentle gold-wire plain glasses, with his slender fingers crossed, he listened to the speech of the leader on the stage.

At present, online live broadcast terminals have moved from PC to mobile terminals, truly entering the era of live broadcast for all.

It is also because of the development of the live broadcast industry.

The crazy influx of capital has also given rise to many problems such as pornography and violence.

In the absence of adequate supervision, highly stimulating content such as pornography and violence is undoubtedly the most direct and effective means to increase the popularity of live broadcasts in a short period of time.

even.

It also involves gray industrial chains such as gambling and money laundering.

The main topic of today's meeting led by the Ministry of Rites is the rectification of the live broadcast industry.

After the meeting, Zhou Yutang was pulled aside by the senior officials of the Ministry of Rites to talk for a while, and there was a lot of discussion at the table.

When I came out after finishing the work, I looked up and happened to see Mr. Chen from Douyu who had been called out, with his head hung and a serious expression.

I almost missed a step on the stairs.

This person was born in A-station, the originator of the two-dimensional website. After the collapse of A-station, he ran out to start Xinhe Liansheng and actually made it successful.

Douyu's size is much smaller than that of Bilibili, which has the huge popularity backed by Jiangdong, but it is also a leader in the live streaming industry.

This time, Douyu, Panda, Liujianfang and a dozen other live streaming platforms were the first to be exposed. They were warned one by one, and an industry notice will be issued in the future.

The scale of B station's live broadcast is not too big, and it mainly focuses on various fields such as games, two-dimensional, and outdoor.

Of course, it is inevitable that female Bodhisattvas will occasionally give out benefits in the middle of the night.

After all, people become female anchors either for love or to make money.

And the goal is clear, specifically taking the big brother's shortcuts, such as joining the ship to pull groups, private photos, etc., don't use too many routines...

When I came out of the Ministry of Rites, I found Chen Rui waiting by the car.

I called Chen Shuli to get in a car and talked about things related to the live broadcast platform.

"The Chinese version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has passed review. Tencent CEO Liu said it will be available in October..."

"Awesome! You are so powerful, Mr. Zhou! One of your games has become popular all over the world, and you are the number one cultural exporter!"

Chen Shuli smiled happily and offered flattery for free. His chubby face looked quite funny.

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has been online for nearly half a year, and its total sales have exceeded 10 million.

A lot of connections were mobilized in all aspects, and the national server has just passed the review, so the sales are definitely not all contributed by Chinese players.

According to foreign media statistics, overseas sales account for more than 75%!

It is no exaggeration to say that it is popular all over the world.

It is undoubtedly a milestone in domestic games.

The popularity of such a game not only made Xingchen Games a leader in the industry, but also promoted the development of computer hardware to some extent.

Because this game has certain configuration requirements, it indirectly promotes the update of computer hardware.

Because the game is rich and exciting, it is very suitable for live streaming.

Even the live streaming industry has reaped the benefits.

In the eyes of many people, Zhou Yutang is now like a god.

Even the news reached the top leaders, and even the senior leaders were very concerned.

How to achieve effective cultural output?
This was the question asked during the last private meeting between the top leaders, and Zhou Yutang gave his own answer.

To achieve cultural exports, it ultimately comes down to our own national strength.

In the past, conditions were not mature, everything was difficult, and there were many constraints.

Now that China's national strength is growing, there is much that can be done.

But we also need to pay attention to methods and approaches.

It is definitely useless to preach to foreigners.

No one likes to be educated by force.

We still need to use the new-era media channels, such as short videos, movies, animation, and games, to subtly change their perception of things.

For example, Li Ziqi, the UP host strongly promoted by the company, has become extremely popular on YouTube.

Many foreigners are able to feel the charm of China's traditional culture through her videos.

After breaking out of the information cocoon and gradually gaining knowledge, some people naturally become curious and yearn for beautiful things.

After finishing the business, Zhou Yutang asked casually, "I heard that you just watched Zhou Jielun's concert in Beijing?"

"what?"

Chen Shuli's fat face froze, cold sweat dripped down his back, and his smile was a little forced: "Haha, relax...relax a little."

"It's hot?"

"is a bit."

"Work is work, life is life. When it's time to relax, you really have to enjoy life."

Zhou Yutang gave Chen Shuli a meaningful look.

Even though he usually doesn't take care of the specific operations of Bilibili, he has a clear understanding of the situation of the entire management team.

Damn it, he had a lot of things to do when he returned to Beijing, and he didn’t even have time to accompany his female secretary to watch Milk Tea Zhou’s concert.

Chen Shuli actually took his female employees to see the concert.

——Don’t think that uncle likes aunt.

Uncle Chen Rui, who just won the prestigious title of Business Innovation Leader of the Year this year.

He was kind-hearted and generous, and sponsored a young female college student who had just graduated. She was having a great time. She was raising fish in the fish pond of the boss.

The subordinate is an old cow eating young grass.

If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, it is yes.

……

Humans are such complex animals.

When he first started Bilibili, Chen Rui was full of fighting spirit.

Sometimes I would even discuss with Zhou Yutang late at night how to improve the user experience.

But since the two big bosses Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming paved the way with their connections, and with the support of Jiangdong Entertainment, it has been soaring on the road to becoming the largest video platform in the country.

Chen Rui felt a little elated.

The shares he holds are not as much as those held by Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

However, according to the current market value of Bilibili estimated by professional institutions, its net worth is at least 10 billion.

I am not even forty years old this year, and I have everything I need in terms of wealth, power and status. All kinds of temptations naturally come to me.

As long as one is a human being, one has seven emotions and six desires, and sometimes it is really difficult to control oneself.

Governor Zhou only mentioned it casually that day, but Chen Rui figured it out all the way to the Magic City.

Even his good sister noticed something was wrong and hugged his arm and said in a coquettish voice: "Honey, why do I feel like you are worried? Last night..."

"Nothing, I just haven't been in good shape these two days." Chen Rui said perfunctorily.

"Oh, then how about we go to that restaurant to relax in the evening? I heard that restaurant is really popular recently..."

"Not at night."

Chen Rui forced a smile: "I have to go back to the company. I have a meeting to attend. I will be busy in the near future..."

After a few words, he coaxed his sister into submission and Chen Shuli sighed.

The ancients often said that serving the king is like serving a tiger, and they are true.

In just two days, I lost my appetite and lost three pounds.

Zhou Yutang naturally had no idea what Chen Shuli was thinking.

He also has his own things to be busy with.

For example, I negotiated with Director Wang of CCTV's Film and Television Department about the first-round broadcasting rights of "Snow".

Jiangdong Entertainment is deeply tied to Shanghai TV and Jiangsu TV stations, and has a close relationship with Mango TV. Recently, even Zhejiang Province's Blueberry TV has also jumped on board.

What these first-tier satellite TV stations can give, CCTV can also give.

The resources replaced by the central bank are undoubtedly more attractive.

The intention of cooperation is clear, but Jiang Xueru is still in charge of the specific details of the cooperation.

The TV screens during the recent summer season are also very lively.

After Da Mimi and Gao Yuanyuan dominated the TV screen one after another, the tomb-raiding series "The Mystic Nine" stood out.

This drama made Chen Weiting famous, and fans of Zhang Yixing, one of the four returning stars, were unhappy.

They had a fierce argument online with the fans of Chen Weiting, who are gaining momentum, over the ranking of the show.

It’s also interesting to say.

In "The Lost Tomb", the most famous star is Zhao Liying, who was specially invited to star in the drama.

In the opening credits of Shanghai Tomato Channel, the leading actor is only Chen Weiting, but in the opening credits of iQiyi, the leading actors are Chen Weiting and Zhang Yixing.

Finally, Shanghai Tomato TV was bombarded by Zhang Yixing’s fans and had to publicly apologize, saying it was a work error, and later added Zhang Yixing’s name.

The fans of the two groups still refused to give up and kept making all kinds of sarcastic remarks, which led to the grudge between them.

"The Lost Tomb" had just finished being sung, and "The Legend of Chusen" made its debut.

With an average viewership of 1.37 and a market share of 9.11, it deservedly ranked first in the same period.

Some fans are licking the screen and praising it enthusiastically, but there are also many long-awaited fans of the original "Zhu Xian" novel who are vomiting blood.

"Fantasy City", in which Song Qian and Feng Shaofeng co-starred, was finally released at the end of the summer vacation.

From the adaptation of the story to the appearance of the characters, there are frequent embarrassing incidents.

However, the ratings are not low.

With the addition of "Jiuzhou", a number of fantasy dramas are being released during the summer vacation, with overwhelming marketing.

But they all have their own shortcomings. The audience, whose tastes have been spoiled by Zhou Yutang, even gave higher aesthetic ratings and could not help but complain online:
"Please, can we have something good to eat?"

"Please, Grand Commander, please come down to earth and save my eyes!"

"If you don't understand, just ask, when will "The Lonely and Great God" be aired?"

"Just bear with it for another month. These dramas during the summer vacation are all to avoid the National Day schedule designated by the Grand Commander."

"Oh my god, the number of reservations has exceeded 10 million!"

"..."

It was at this time that Jiangdong’s official website released a new trailer for "The Lonely and Great God".

Raindrops slid down the edge of the umbrella, fell to the ground, splashing tiny water droplets.

Zhou Yutang, dressed in a trench coat, looks like a cool and abstinent male god.

Holding an umbrella, I passed by the innocent Zhang Ruolan in the crowd.

The ancient sword on his chest was faintly visible.

Coupled with the soundtrack, the atmosphere is full.

The alleys covered with green plants and the drizzle are so beautiful that any screenshot is as beautiful as a picture.

The publicity work for "The Lonely and Great God" has been arranged.

Brother Long had just come out of the crew of "In the Snow" and had only rested for a few days when he was pulled out of the drama theater to work again.

I was interviewed by CCTV with Zhou Yutang.

On the other hand, "Snow" was finally completed and entered the post-production stage.

In fact, the special effects plan for the entire drama was decided at the beginning of the filming, and some special effects work had been completed during the filming.

There has been constant news during this period. Today it is Teacher Fan’s beauty that has become popular, and tomorrow it will be Nazha’s Reuters stills.

This unprecedented magical game naturally failed to live up to the expectations of the domestic entertainment industry.

……

"Summer movie review: Blade of the Assassin 2 is the best-selling movie at the box office, and Lu Yang, one of the three great generals of Jiangdong, has entered the billion-dollar box office club. A sequel will not be considered in the short term!"

"Cold War 2" and "Skiptrace" are the two best movies in the summer season, ranking second and third respectively!"

"Line Walker" performed steadily, earning 5.68 million yuan, and is still making great progress!

"The performance of "Dangerous City", a joint production of Bona and Moon Entertainment, did not meet expectations, and the box office barely exceeded 100 million!"

The movie version of "Love O2.48O", which was originally highly anticipated, was affected by piracy and the final box office was fixed at million yuan, ending regrettably.

And those Sino-Korean co-production blockbusters were also buried in the rolling dust.

However, "The Dark Knight" was the dark horse, with a total box office of 23 million in 4.43 days after its release.

The single-day box office is already less than one million, and it won’t be long before the film is completely in decline.

Zhou Yutang took Nazha, who had just returned to Beijing after finishing an advertising shoot, to attend a celebration banquet held in Beijing and met his old acquaintance, Chief Jia.

Section Chief Jia came specially to congratulate his fellow Shanxi people.

His favorite actress Zhao Tao smiled and greeted Nazha beside Zhou Yutang: "Nazha, your dress is so beautiful tonight."

"Hey, Sister Tao, your necklace is the most beautiful."

Nazha's eyes instantly blossomed with smile, and her liking for Zhao Tao increased sharply.

The women were talking about skin care, and Chief Jia took Zhou Yutang aside and talked about the film festival.

"Is the time set?"

"Next year, we have reached an agreement with the local government on the Pingyao Ancient City."

"Congratulations, Director Jia."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows, "What time exactly?"

"Probably in the second half of the year, you have to come then."

"It depends on the situation. Not necessarily..."

Zhou Yutang habitually shirked responsibility.

"do not!"

Section Chief Jia hurriedly pulled Zhou Yutang and said, "I have made a promise to the government. How about you be the image ambassador for this session?"

"Let's add a teacher named Fan."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "When are we going abroad to watch movies?"

"Just tomorrow."

Section Chief Jia stared at him for two seconds, then came to his senses and said, "I think so too. Teacher Fan is good enough."

The two looked at each other, and Zhou Yutang understood, with a slight smile on his face: "If there are no unexpected circumstances, I will definitely be there."

……

"Brother, what were you talking about with Chief Jia just now?"

Nazha was in a good mood. She snuggled in Zhou Yutang's arms with a sweet and charming smile.

"Chief Jia organized a film festival and invited me to promote it."

Zhou Yutang lowered his head and sent a message to Teacher Fan.

Yijie is filming on the set, Tianxian is filming in other places for an announcement, and Nazha is immersed in the joy of successfully stealing the house.

Hehe, tonight brother belongs to her exclusively.

She had no idea that the conversation between Governor Zhou and Section Chief Jia just now contained a lot of information.

Director Jia is quite famous abroad. He is one of the judges at this year's San Sebastian International Film Festival.

Taking care of your own people is the unspoken rule of award ceremonies.

Zhang Yimou served as a judge at one of the three major European television awards and often gave awards to his own people.

If Jiang Wen hadn't been so mean that time, maybe he would have won a Golden Lion trophy...

In fact, whether Little Cannon wins the award or not has nothing to do with Zhou Yutang.

But you always have to take care of your own woman.

Next month is Teacher Fan’s birthday, and her second Best Actress trophy at an international A-class film festival can be considered a decent birthday present for her.

I'll do you a favor and help promote the Pingyao International Film Festival.

The so-called promotion actually means attending the opening ceremony.

Then I shot a promotional video with Teacher Fan. Anyway, I shot a lot of small videos privately...

Zhou Yutang's schedule is very tight, but time is like Nazha's groove, if you squeeze it, you will always have it...
