China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 829: The Great Directors Alliance, Nezha is Born

"Brother, you still have a way."

"You are older than me, right?"

"Regardless of age, the most experienced ones will come first."

After seeing Lu Yong off, Han Jianu came up to him and started flattering him.

He served tea and water and was extremely flattering.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing his own daughter being so shameless, Han Sanping, who was drinking tea nearby, couldn't bear it anymore.

He slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table.

He coughed twice softly.

"Dad, do you have a cold?"

"no!"

"No cough what?"

"."

Han Sanping had a dark face.

I thought to myself, I have been a hero all my life, but how come a tiger father gave birth to a dog daughter?

"Boss Han, regarding the actor, Zhang Songwen's schedule has been arranged."

Zhou Yutang couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, looking at the father and daughter: "Please take the trouble to communicate with Ah San."

Although Zuoshandiao has retired from his position, his relationship remains.

He is not the producer for nothing.

For example, communicating with officials and dealing with the Indians are all his jobs.

"I've already said hello, and they can cooperate when the time comes."

Han Sanping nodded: "Aamir Khan can come in for a cameo, when will the remaining roles be decided?"

"Just these two days, everything has been arranged."

"Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have officially announced the main cast of the sci-fi blockbuster "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters", which will be directed by "X-Men 2" director Michael Dougherty. The production cost is as high as 1.7 million US dollars, which will set a new investment record for the series!
Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi will play a Chinese paleontologist, and the film will start shooting in the middle of the year! "

The news released by Warner and Legendary was confirmed by Zhang Studio International.

The Monster Universe film series has always been a money-making beast. "Godzilla" starring Liu Shishi was a huge hit at the global box office, so the sequel naturally attracted much attention from movie fans.

The related news soon sparked heated discussions on China's social media sites.

"It's so funny, how come Zhang Ziyi is so lame? She plays a minor female supporting role and she's still making a big fuss about it when she's releasing press releases to promote her role? She was the same actress as Arnold Olsen back then. [Eating melon]"

"So the No. 1 sister is so famous?"

"Nonsense, don't you even look at who the man of Sister Yi is."

"Didn't they break up a while ago? [Eating melon]"

"They've reconciled a long time ago. If it were you, would you break up with Zhou Yutang?"

"On How to Use International Film Queens to Pave the Red Carpet for 85 Flowers" - Governor Zhou.

Zhang Ziyi’s studio also issued a lot of press releases because this was the first big Hollywood project she got after her postpartum comeback.

Even if it's just a supporting role for Vera Farmiga and Ellie Browning.

However, he did not expect to be ridiculed and mocked by netizens, which broke down his defenses.

Zhou Yutang was shot even though he was lying down, but he didn't care much about it.

He was busy discussing the post-production progress of "Joker" with Joaquin Phoenix.

The final editing rights are firmly in Zhou Yutang's hands.

But Fenghuangzai put a lot of effort into this movie.

Considering that everyone has the same goal, which is to make this movie more perfect.

Zhou Yutang also gave him enough respect as the leading actor, as well as the right to make suggestions.

Joaquin Phoenix has flown to China several times. During his stay in Beijing, he ate a lot of roast duck and even learned the ways of the world. He exclaimed:
"Zhou, you are the greatest Eastern director I have ever worked with."

“Have you worked with other Eastern directors?”

"That's not there."

Joaquin Phoenix laughed and said: "I can't wait to see the finished film."

"The finished film may have to wait a little longer because I have another project to work on."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "However, the film selector in Venice has already contacted me, and I will sign up for the Venice Film Festival when the time comes."

"OK. You have the final say."

Fenghuangzai had an announcement and had to rush back to Hollywood. Before leaving, he did not forget to complain to Zhou Yutang:

"Zhou, I find that the Celestial Empire is too dangerous."

"Walter, what kind of international joke are you playing?"

A capital question mark slowly appeared on Zhou Yutang's face.

If you close your eyes and look for a piece of land on the map of China, how could there be the danger of shootings in America every day?
“No no no, what I mean is”

Joaquin Phoenix waved his hands and explained helplessly: "China is definitely a beautiful country, it is very different from what the media reports, you know what's going on
It’s just that there are too many tempting delicacies, and I’ve already gained 17 pounds in just a short time.”

In order to play the role of Arthur, Fenghuang Zai was extremely hot and skinny before filming began.

After completing his suicide, he wanted to get out of the role, so he changed his environment and stayed in the Chinese Empire for more than a month.

Including the foreigners in the special effects group, they were dragged to barbecue and drink beer every night, and their faces became visibly rounder.
"The delayed screening of "Ghost Blows Out the Light 2" has ended, with a total box office of 28.32 billion, setting a new record for domestic adventure films!"

"After the Tomb Raiders universe, the Tomb Raiders universe has once again set off a huge explosion in the Chinese film market, with the total box office of the series stopping at 50 billion!"

"The sequel script is being developed. The golden age of Chinese fantasy movies is coming!"

The eyes of the film and television industry are all on Jiangdong Entertainment, including Guo Fan, who almost made it into the 50 billion box office club overnight.

Reba’s fans can also be proud this month.

"Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" dominated the TV screen, and "Ghost Blows Out the Light 2" topped the Chinese New Year film list.

With this phenomenally popular series of film and television works, she has firmly established herself as one of the top actresses in the 90s.

You finish your song, and I will take the stage.

At the same time, Huanxi Media, which had been dormant for a long time, once again hyped the concept of the Great Directors Alliance.

This time the commotion was quite big.

In addition to Xu Guangtou, Ning Hao, King of Sunglasses, and Chen Kexing, the next people to be discussed were Gu Changwei, Zhang Yibai, and Section Chief Jia.

Among them, Gu Changwei and Zhang Yibai will each receive newly issued restricted shares of Huanxi, and the specific amount has not yet been disclosed.

But it is clear that it will be tied to the future works of the two. Xihe Xinghui Pictures, founded by Chief Jia, will jointly build an "Art Film Creation Center" with Huanxi Media, focusing on small and medium-cost art films.

When the news came out, it was like a meteorite hitting the earth, shaking the Chinese film and television industry.

The next day, Huanxi Media’s stock price soared by 12%.

"Speaking of Dong Ping, he is really a talented person."

At a dinner party in Beijing, the matter was inevitably mentioned, and someone asked Guo Fan, who has been very popular recently: "Director Guo, why doesn't your Grand Commander take Jiangdong Operations public?"

This is also a question that many people are curious about.

There is no need to say much about the background of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, coupled with Zhang Yimou, who is one of the top three directors in the country.

The three Jiangdong generals Wen Muye, Guo Fan and Lu Yang, all have amazing achievements and have formed the foundation for the new generation of directors in China.

Relevant institutions have made rough estimates based on data analysis.

If Jiangdong Entertainment is listed, it will definitely be another super aircraft carrier in the entertainment industry.

"Mr. Zhou is not interested in this."

All the friends at the table looked at him, and Guo Fan felt proud: "He said that we should focus on film and television projects and not consider going public."

"Boss Zhou is awesome."

"Come on, a toast."

"Then again, this kind of capital acceleration has led to a near monopoly of top director resources." "The value of content has also been repriced, and the survival pressure on new directors and small and medium-sized film and television companies will be greater in the future."

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not. Even good wine needs a bush. Even if your movie is good, if you don't have the capital to support the marketing, it will be difficult for you to succeed."

"Who says it's not?"

During the dinner, everyone was talking about how the country was doing. Rao Xiaozhi put down his wine glass and sighed with a heavy heart.

I wanted to say something else, but then I saw my old friend being treated like a star by everyone.

Look at yourself again, you are just a nobody.

The words came to my lips and I swallowed them back.

The early spring sunshine in the capital shines through the dead branches.

The cold wind blew and a thin layer of frost covered the stone steps.

Outside the auditorium of Babaoshan Funeral Home, Zhou Yutang tightened his long black coat and stood behind Tian Zhuangzhuang, his expression as solemn as everyone else's.

"At this time of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, God is lonely. No one is happy with him, there is no humorous atmosphere, and he can't meet a joke teller who can make him happy. So, he chose him and sent him an invitation.

The invitation rode on the "prison train going west", crossed the "yellow earth", walked through the "widow village", participated in the "grand parade", visited "one and eight", and after lighting the "fire steel", it turned into a hearse and drove to its destination under the stars and the moon.

Well-known producer Xu Xiangbei mourns the death of his good friend He Qun.

The saddest thing in the world is to be left behind by your loved ones.

Director He Qun is an iconic figure among the fifth generation of directors. He, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige were the 78 art, photography and directing triangle.

Today, Zhang Yimou and poet Chen are here, and Mr. He’s friends in the circle such as Ge You, Li Shaohong, and Chen Baoguo are also present.

All I can say is that things are unpredictable.

Zhou Yutang was a big name at the Oscars and even received a congratulatory message from He Qun, but he passed away the next day.

It is rare to find someone like Lao Mouzi who is over 60 years old but still maintains strong energy and produces amazing monsters.

More of China's fifth-generation directors have gradually disappeared from the screen over the years.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

The aftermath of the previous wave is pushing the memories of the previous era onto the reef layer by layer.

The name Han Jianu is a bit useless.

The original version of the script of "Dying to Survive" was called "Indian Dying to Survive".

Zhou Yutang thought it was unlucky, so he changed it to "Dying to Survive".

Now he has an appointment with his superiors and can enjoy certain privileges in script review.

Everyone in the bureau was tacitly aware of this.

Because it is a project of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, it has received great attention.

La Peikang, who was in charge of China Film Group, learned the news first and contacted Zhou Yutang.

The response I got was that the investment had already been decided.

The implication is, of course, that there is nothing to worry about.

Zhou Yutang didn't owe him anything, he was just doing his job.

Lao Wang from Guangxian tried to ask the question in a roundabout way several times, and finally came to Jiangdong Building himself.

Zhou Yutang also declined directly: "Mr. Wang, you know that with such a small investment, I won't bother you."

In the past, we were weak and needed to unite all the forces we could in order to grow bigger.

Now, let's wait for Governor Zhou to take the stage.

Then the way the game is played will change.

The cost of 2 million is indeed nothing in this capital age where investments of million are common.

Jiangdong's own film and television projects, if the cost is less than 100 million, are basically funded by themselves without any pressure.

This time, the 30% share is also a favor to Zuoshandiao.

Wang Changtian was not annoyed. He just wanted to get something out of the way, so he brought up another matter: "By the way, are you not interested in Dong Xiaopeng's new play?"

A few days ago, entertainment reporters captured news of Dong Xiaopeng entering and leaving the Jiangdong Building.

In addition, Nazha’s assistant team has officially confirmed her performance, which does make people have some associations.

"Forget it. I have too many projects on hand. Mr. Wang, you can try it. The book is not bad."

"Xiaopeng is indeed a capable person. He is preparing to find a way out for himself."

"People go to higher places, water flows to lower places, it's normal to want to leave."

They were all thousands of years old Liao Zhai, so the conversation was relaxed and pleasant. Zhou Yutang smiled leisurely and said, "Congratulations in advance to Director Wang for getting another great general."

"Not sure yet. Not sure yet."

Wang Changtian was quite conservative, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Zhang Huli of Sohu has not paid much attention to the entertainment field recently.

The movie "The Pancake Man" which grossed 1 billion yuan at the box office made him a fortune, but he didn't even give any dividends to Dong Xiaopeng.

I want the horse to run, but I don’t want the horse to eat grass.

Dong Xiaopeng is smart and naturally wants to find another way out.

The best strategy would naturally be to cling to Governor Zhou, but Jiangdong Company's film and television project schedule is fully booked this year, so they had to turn to Liu Yan's relationship and get in touch with Lao Wang from Guangxian.

It is probably the same personal studio cooperation model as Deng Chao.

For Lao Wang, this was something he gladly accepted.

Guangguang has always had a plan to support new directors, and Dong Xiaopeng’s reputation is a bit bad at the moment.

But he is very capable and is a good candidate.

What Lao Wang is more concerned about is the animated film that Jiangdong Shiyue collaborated with Caitiaowu.

That is, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World"!
The list of collaboration films released at the beginning included "Nezha" and "Yang Jian", which were expected to meet the audience within three years. Later it was discovered that the difficulty of producing animated films had been underestimated.

Chinese animated films are still in their infancy. The creative team of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" spent eight years honing their skills to finally produce a film like "The Monkey King".

Now the October team’s main focus is on preparing for “Deep Sea”.

Instead, it was Jiangdong Entertainment’s new director Jiaozi who took over the production of Nezha with his team.

This person made an independent animated short film "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" in 2008, which won more than 30 domestic and international awards. He is a rare talent in the animation field.

After it was confirmed that he would direct the film, the script went through dozens of revisions. Zhou Yutang finally gave his approval and the project was finally landed.

Guangxian’s Colorful House is also constantly recruiting.

This time, the two powerful companies have joined forces to give the Chinese animated films a little shock!
After finishing the work at hand, Zhou Yutang immediately started the audition for "Dying to Survive".

This movie doesn't have any big scenes, and according to his expectations, the project cycle will not exceed three months.

The third floor of Jiangdong Building is the audition venue for "Dying to Survive".

There were quite a few people in the room, and Zhou Yutang naturally sat in the middle seat.

Next to them are producer Han Sanping, producer and screenwriter Han Jianu, as well as Lin Liang, Chen Xi and others.

There are more people outside.

The new play of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong has unparalleled appeal to actors in the circle.

This time, the open audition will only select actors based on their suitability for the role, so everyone has a chance.

As for the huge crowd of actors waiting outside, you could just pick up a brick and throw it at them, and knock out a famous actor.

First-line actors such as Eddie Peng, Ruan Jingtian, Yang Yang, as well as Jiang Jingfu, Lin Gengxin and others, also competed for this role.

The volume flies up.

The door of the room opened and closed, and people came out one after another.

Some people were smiling, while others looked listless.

Jiang Qiming sat against the wall, observing everyone's expressions, and was in a relaxed state.

When the assistant called his name in order with the list, the handsome guy from Guangxi came back to his senses.
