China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 861: The King of Dramas of the Year
"Produced by Soochow Films and Ying Huang, and co-directed by Benny Chan and Zhuang Wenqiang, the crime action blockbuster "Wushuang" officially started shooting in Hong Kong a few days ago.

Zhu Yilong and Zhou Runfa appeared at the opening ceremony. Yang Mi showed off her beautiful legs in a short skirt, revealing her graceful figure! "

"Co-produced by Fosun Pictures and Alibaba Pictures, the new sci-fi action film "Gemini Killer" by Oscar-winning director Li An has been released.

It is reported that Will Smith will join the film, and the production cost will exceed 1.5 million, which is about to set off Hollywood! "

With "Bad Genius" firing the first shot of the summer season, the atmosphere in the Chinese film market has gradually become as hot as midsummer.

The start of filming of "Wushuang" is certainly eye-catching.

However, the powerful combination of Fosun and Alibaba has thrown a super blockbuster bomb into the entire film and television industry.

It directly shocked all the film and television companies in the circle.

Will this all-star cast of Oscar-winning directors and Oscar-winning celebrities have any chance of success?

Many movie fans in China are looking forward to it.

"Boss Guo would be amazing if he didn't make a big splash."

Zhou Yutang was a little surprised when he saw the news.

Boss Guo’s working style is not as high-profile as his old friend Jack Ma.

After entering the entertainment industry, Fosun Pictures did not rush to bet on big productions, but has been making its plans in a low-key manner.

"Fosun acquired a lot of shares in Xitian and Taiyang Chuanhe."

Li Shuang also had something to say about this: "Do you still remember the movie 'The General Is Above'?"

"Sister Shuang, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yutang didn't remember this drama, but he remembered that there was a little fairy in it.
"The mess created by Hai Yan's son was taken over by Fosun Pictures."

"Yu Zheng's Huanyu also received financing from Fosun."

As if he had thought of something, Li Shuang frowned:
"Yu Tang, I heard that Zhang Zhao from LeTV has been getting very close to people from Fosun Pictures recently. Is Boss Jia planning to do something?"

"Still causing trouble?"

Zhou Yutang smiled playfully: "LeEco has such a big hole, and Boss Jia is too busy to take care of himself. It is probably Zhang Zhao who is preparing a way out for himself."

There is no doubt about this person's ability. The growth of Enlight Pictures is probably due to the foundation laid by Zhang Zhao.

Boss Jia's management of LeTV has attracted a large number of celebrity shareholders, which is also the result of Zhang Zhao's active operations.

Li Shuang nodded thoughtfully, and Zhou Yutang chuckled and said, "Sister Shuang, don't worry about them. Let's do our own thing and adjust the promotion plan for The Meg first."

"La Peikang is really capable of making trouble."

"It's not us who opened the summer season, so everyone has to rely on their own abilities."

"The Meg is on National Day, and Shameful Iron Fist will be released during the Lunar New Year."

Li Shuang curled his lips and asked, "How is the script of Detective Chinatown 2?"

"Detective Chinatown Detective" is the most profitable blockbuster in the crime universe series created by Zhou Yutang, and it still ranks at the top of the overall list of Chinese films.

A proposal for a sequel had been submitted long ago, but the script had been revised more than 30 times and Zhou Yutang was not satisfied with any of them, so he rejected them all.

Since the previous film was a huge hit, he didn't think about making a sequel to take advantage of the popularity and reap the audience's profits.

The most important principle for promoting a sequel: maintaining the level of the previous work and enriching and expanding the entire criminal universe.

It is easier said than done.

However, this year Ping Ceng finally submitted a script that impressed Zhou Yutang.

The Pirates of the Caribbean series is a mess, and Chinatown is fired
I have to say that the idea of ​​flat floor is a bit out of control.

"There's nothing wrong with the script, let's send it for filing first."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and said, "There are too many things to do, let's put them aside for now."

"You are indeed very busy. 'In the Snow' will be aired soon, you will join the crew for filming in the middle of the month, and you may go to Venice next month."

Li Shuang smiled mischievously: "Sister Li is studying in Italy. When will she graduate?"

In such a large city like Jiangdong, only Li Shuang dared to play such a joke on Zhou Yutang.

Because she had followed Zhou Yutang since they were humble and built Jiangdong up, and she was also Zeng Li's best friend.

"Sister Shuang."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "You know too much."

In early July, Chen Zhiheng finally brought good news:
"Mr. Zhou, the organizing committee director Alberto Barbera appreciates Joker very much and is looking forward to meeting you."

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Chen Zhiheng talked incessantly about the judges of the main competition unit, and he knew them all like the back of his hand.

During the meeting, he mentioned the prospects of "Joker" in a vague way - he didn't make it very clear, but Zhou Yutang knew it.

If nothing unexpected happens, "Joker" has already secured its place in the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

"It's not hard, just a piece of cake."

Chen Zhiheng on the opposite side felt comfortable instantly.

Being praised by the Grand Commander of Jiangdong felt more satisfying than Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit.

However, he soon felt something was wrong.

I have been involved in many award activities in the past and have worked with many big directors.

In fact, those big directors don’t have any filters in his eyes, they are just ordinary people.

For example, when Chief Jia entered the main competition unit, his hands were shaking and his whole body was red and warm.

Others such as Li An, Jiang Wen and others also had great emotional fluctuations.

After all, they are one of the three major film festivals in Europe.

It’s hard not to be excited when the highest honor for filmmakers is within reach.

Only Zhou Yutang was unmoved and calm, almost unspeakably so, and started chatting with him about the customs and culture of Italy.

"Mr. Zhou, there will be several promotional activities here in August, and we need your cooperation."

"Well, next month, I will go there early."

******
"'When Will the Moon Rise' was released, and the box office on the first day was 2324 million, ranking second among domestic films!"

"Bad Genius" has made steady progress at the box office, earning 5.58 million yuan in seven days, and is accelerating its goal of reaching billion yuan in box office!"

The release of Xu An's film "When Will the Moon Rise?" has also attracted a lot of attention from the industry.

In addition to the top female director in Hong Kong, the starring lineup consisting of Zhou Xun, Eddie Peng, Huo Jianhua and Guo Tao is also luxurious.

Every failure makes one wiser, said Bona, the film producer, Yu Pangzi.

This time, it was unusual that no shots were fired and the team was unusually low-key.

However, his attempt to seize the initiative in the summer season was in vain.

The result was no surprise: he was shot in the head by "Bad Genius".

"I went there for Mr. Zhou, but I was a little disappointed. For this kind of art film, The Gunman is more enjoyable."

"I think so too."

Ye Renchao, who came out of the cinema with his girlfriend, nodded in agreement seriously.

"Are you a pig?"

My girlfriend rolled her eyes and complained without hesitation: "You just fell asleep in the cinema."

"Have it?"

Ye Renchao changed the subject: "Director Wen shot this play really well. Did Liu Shishi perform without makeup?"

"Well, Sister Yi is pretty without makeup."

"In fact, I feel her acting skills have improved a lot. Zhou Yutang is a good mentor."

Speaking of Liu Shishi, Ye Renchao thought of Liu Yifei and said:

"Baby, let's watch "Snowy" together tonight. We've run out of snacks at home, so we have to go to Sam's to restock."

"Go go go!"

The two chatted casually while Ye Renchao started the car and went for a big purchase.

I bought a bunch of snacks for watching TV series and then went back to the rented house.

After graduating from Hangzhou Dianzi University, Ye Renchao stayed in Hangzhou with his girlfriend to develop his career.

My girlfriend has been firmly supporting Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi, the nation's first love couple, since "Those Years".

However, Ye Renchao always felt that Liu Yifei and Zhou Yutang were a perfect match.

For the sake of a happy life, I definitely wouldn't dare say this in front of my girlfriend.

Putting aside their stances, both of them are fans of Jiangdong Entertainment's dramas and have a lot to talk about.

After dinner and snacks, I tuned into CCTV early.

The commercials before the show were as long as usual, and Ye Renchao was checking the news.

Compared to his girlfriend who only cares about CP, Ye Renchao, who is a science guy, pays more attention to the ratings data.

The divine CP coming down to earth is truly extraordinary.

With an unprecedented all-star cast, "Snow" premiered at the beginning of the month and immediately blew up the entire drama industry.

Within two hours of its premiere, the number of online views exceeded 100 million!
The reading volume of the Weibo topic #雪中悍刀行# exceeded 12 billion in hours!
The peak value of Baidu Index is nearly two million.

Is this more than just terrifying?
Even potatoes would be shocked: it’s so horrible!
Seeing the constant flattery on the forum, Ye Renchao felt quite proud.

He started reading the novel "Snow" when he was in high school, and fell in love with the Jianghu with wine, beauties and heroes.

I have a heartfelt admiration for Zhou Yutang.

Now, the things I like have been recognized by other people, and I must feel proud.

The first season of "Snow" has a smooth plot, a lot of foreshadowing, and many touching plots.

For example, after watching the scene in which Lao Huang died in Wudi City, which was broadcast tonight, his girlfriend had already dropped her tears.

In her words, Captain Xing died a tragic death.

Mr. Fan Ming’s role as Constable Xing in “Wulin Inn” is so deeply rooted in people’s hearts that the audience often overlooks his acting skills.

This time, Jian Jiuhuang is really eye-catching.

He could hold it together at first, but when he saw Xu Fengnian reading the file under the lamp, his eyes suddenly turned red, his voice trembled unconsciously, and his whole body seemed to be in a broken state.

Ye Renchao, who calls himself a man of steel, couldn't hold back either.

This time it was his girlfriend's turn to ask him, "Why are you crying?"

"No, I just got a brick in my eye."

Ye Renchao wiped his face and said with deep emotion: "The King of Dramas of the Year is well deserved."

"I heard that the Snow Series had a 10 billion investment. This fight scene really has the quality of a movie."

"Fuck, can you please enable advanced on-demand streaming? The updates are too slow and I have to spend money!"

"The best drama of the year is born!"

It is summer vacation for students and the competition on TV screens is quite fierce.

However, "Snow Swordsman" achieved over 3% viewership on its first broadcast!

Considering today's declining age of television viewing, this is simply an incredible miracle.

Coupled with the explosive popularity of the online broadcast, it is no exaggeration to say that it was a double explosion on Taiwan and the Internet.

The film and television companies in the industry expected that "Snow" would be a hit.

But I didn’t expect it to be so popular.

It's so popular!
Zhou Yutang once again proved his dominance in the field of television!
The head of CCTV was in high spirits and personally led a team to welcome Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei to record an interview program.

When they got downstairs, Liu Yifei saw Zhou Yutang pause for a moment and looked over curiously: "Xiao Zhou, the design is quite unique."

This is what many netizens call the big pants.

This is also the place where General Lu fought.
The promotion of "In the Snow" adopts a multi-point approach. Zhou Yutang is mainly responsible for interview programs, and also visits buildings with Liu Yifei.

The other leading actors in the drama have also appeared in all the popular variety shows, and are promoting it.

The phenomenally popular "In the Name of People" made veteran actors such as Zhang Zhijian and Wu Gang famous.

The same is true of "Snow" now.

What is commendable about the original work is the creation of group characters, such as Jian Jiuhuang who was killed in the first season.

Another example is Xie Junhao, who plays the old sword god Li Chungang.

The former Thirteenth Brother of the Nanhai became slightly famous for his role as the Drunken Swordsman in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

After being silent for several years, he finally became popular with the role of Li Chungang and even appeared as a guest on the variety show "Actors".

"Brother Tang, do you have Free style?"

"?"

When Zhou Yutang met Zhang Ruojun who came to visit him at the company, he glanced at him expressionlessly, and his expression twitched slightly: "Speak human language."

Ever since appearing on the show "Sister-in-law Has Hip-Hop", Zhang Ruojun has been feeling a little bit off.

"Hey, Brother Tang."

Zhang Ruojun winked and smiled like a familiar husky: "When will the sequel to "Snow" start filming?"

"It's the middle of the month."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Zhang Ruojun made a guest appearance as the wooden sword ranger Wen Hua. After breaking his sword and arm and leaving the world, his main scenes have been completed.

Xu Fengnian was a very powerful figure in the martial arts world, and Wen Hua remained idle until the end when he came out to serve wine to the prince.

Zhang Ruojun rarely gets serious: "By then, my scenes may have to be filmed in advance, as I will be filming another new drama next month."

"A new role?"

"We have to fight the devils again."

Zhang Ruojun was a little depressed: "Some projects are not easy to promote. The old man invested in them himself and even signed the contract."

"."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: "I'll ask Jiang Xuelu to adjust the production schedule."

People are doing their best for their father.

Zhang Ruojun's father now hopes that his son will become successful.

Zhang Jian is rooted in the Beijing circle and is a well-known figure.

However, in recent years, the entertainment industry has become a feast for capital, and he has gradually fallen behind.

However, as long as he has a firm foothold in the mainstream market, with the connections he has accumulated over the years and a promising son, it will certainly not be difficult for him to make money.

There is a popular saying now: one emperor, four kings, and three little ones.

This is talking about the top-level situation under the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

Lu Han, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, and Yang Yang. Among them, Yang Yang's popularity is a bit mediocre, and Jia Shikai has done a lot of marketing to promote him behind the scenes.

The three little ones are TFBOYS, the idol group trained in our country.

However, according to heated discussions among netizens, it was unanimously agreed that the works represented by the three little ones were not significant enough to be ranked below the Grand Commander.

He was directly expelled and re-ranked.

Put Hu Ge, Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong together.

They are all top male stars in the circle and they all have a bright future.

Zhu Yilong has just joined the cast of "Wushuang", and Hu Ge's "Hunting Ground", which has been in a long lawsuit, is finally confirmed to be on TV screens in the fall.

Zhang Ruojun’s “Snow Leopard” a few years ago was a huge hit and was quite popular in mainstream dramas.

Then a bunch of main-theme anti-Japanese war dramas came to the fore.

In the past two years, he had killed at least 1,000 Japanese soldiers.
I hadn't seen Zhang Ruojun for a few days, so we chatted about gossip in the circle for a while.

Zhou Yutang suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Su Lun has a new movie auditioning, why don't you go and try it out?"

"Didn't Huang Xiaoming just come to audition for a role?"

Zhang Ruojun asked curiously.

"It's better not to torture the audience."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.

Having just been scolded for his role in "Ancient Love Song", Huang Xiaoming wanted to reward himself with a drama about a domineering CEO.

I have my eyes on Jiang Dongjia’s “Super Time Cohabitation”.

Zhou Yutang also couldn't understand why this guy liked to walk on this track.

There is definitely no problem with the acting skills of 50-50 in the entertainment industry, but the prejudice in people’s hearts is a huge mountain.

According to director Su Lun, it felt a bit greasy, so he rejected it.

"Brother Tang, you are my big brother."

Zhang Ruojun, who had been serious for a short while, smiled like a husky again and poured tea for Zhou Yutang attentively.

When the Grand Commander of Jiangdong named the name, it was like the God of Wealth knocking on the door - blessings came from the sky.

I don’t know how many people in the circle are eyeing this pie.

"You go and try it first. It will be Su Lun who will decide who will be used in the end."

Su Lun wanted to go all in on the Grand Commander right from the start, so he was definitely thinking too much.

It wouldn't be a problem to put Zhang Ruojun in there, he looks quite down-to-earth.

With his current acting skills, he is more than capable of playing the role of a domineering president.

******
The kiwis are making a lot of noise this year.

First, we spent a lot of money to distribute several plays of Jiangdong Misty Theater.

Then it continued to grow and become stronger, and created a hip-hop music talent show that became phenomenally popular.

Crush all variety shows of the same period!
With the blessing of massive traffic, Wu Yifan, who served as the program mentor, reaped huge benefits.

He was directly appointed as the first Chinese global brand spokesperson for LV and became the talk of the town for a while.

Other contestants in other programs, such as GAI's Sichuan and Chongqing style, directly led to the check-in craze at Chongqing Hongyadong.

Even a large number of grassroots artists such as PG One and VAVA became famous overnight.

That's what the entertainment industry is like.

Today you eat bran and vegetables.

Once you take off, you will be extremely rich.
