China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 864 He is brighter than the sun

"I want this sky to no longer cover my eyes, I want this earth to no longer bury my heart, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, I want all Buddhas to disappear into thin air!"

"If the sky oppresses me, I will split it apart. If the earth constrains me, I will crush it. We are born free, who dares to be high above us!?"

Everyone has been young and frivolous. Many of Zhou Yutang’s friends and classmates used lines from “The Monkey King” as their QQ signatures.

It just feels so cool and handsome.

Now, "The Legend of Sun Wukong", produced by New Classics and Motian, is about to be released nationwide, and the promotion has entered the final sprint stage, which is quite high-profile.

“We were greatly inspired by Da Du Du’s animated film, The Monkey King: Hero is Back.

The current film market is changing all the time. We did not follow the classic "Journey to the West" to shoot a propositional film and repeat the traditional story. Instead, we boldly re-created it while grasping the spiritual core of the original work."

Director Guo Zijian was very confident and did not forget to cue Zhou Yutang: "This is a movie that allows people to see their youth."

“It’s a great honor that The Legend of Wukong has received an invitation from the non-competitive section of Venice Film Festival, but after discussing with the main creators, we reluctantly declined and are ready to meet the audience in advance.”

Before the release, there were bold words.

It was released in the middle of the month, so it can’t be said to be silent.

Because of the box office of 1.19 million on the first day, the unstoppable Minions were suppressed and the movie topped the daily box office.

Arthur and Nana, two newcomers with no box office appeal, were the most miserable and were directly buried.

"Secret Fruit" had a bad start, and its screening schedule was not high to begin with, and this time it was directly cut to the bottom.

The total box office was only 868 million, which sounds like a good number, but for Wang Guang, it made him almost want to vomit blood.

It didn't even last the entire theatrical period and was axed right away.

But Lao Wang has a backup plan.

This year, one of Jiangdong's summer trio was eliminated by La Peikang.

The second film that Guangguang has planned for the summer season is "Father and Son Warriors", directed by Yuan Weidong and produced and starred by Dong Xiaopeng.

The lineup of Liaobei's most ruthless man Fan Debiao, the popular young actress Zhang Tianai, and the bathing emperor Qiao Bin can be said to be luxurious and worth looking forward to no matter how you look at it.

"Boss Wang, I have a variety show to record and will be joining the crew soon."

Zhou Yutang politely declined Lao Wang's appointment for the premiere.

Basically, whenever there is a film or television project of any size in the circle, he will be sent an invitation to the premiere.

Because as long as the Grand Commander of Jiangdong shows up, the attention will immediately double.

The Grand Commander was busy with many things to do, so how could he attend everyone? So he sent Li Shuang, the second most important person in Jiangdong, to attend on his behalf, which was quite appropriate.

He and Lao Wang are acquaintances, so he can speak his mind without any embarrassment.

The box office of "The Monkey King" was a huge success on the first day. Cao Huayi of New Classics Media was so confident that he said: "There is no doubt that the epic mythological blockbuster "The Monkey King" will be the number one blockbuster of the summer."

Zhou Yutang originally thought that Fatty Yu was already crazy enough, as he would fire shots and take off loans at any time.

Unexpectedly, there are still masters.

After the box office exceeded 4 million on the first day, the box office hit million in the first weekend.

Hua Chengyu's singing of the theme song was also being marketed crazily, and for a while, press releases were everywhere.

It looks like another movie is about to join the 10 billion box office club.

This doesn't have much impact on "Bad Genius".

In the third week of its release, the box office exceeded 10 billion, and most of its box office potential has been realized.

There will be extension keys next, but expectations are not high.

Zhou Yutang didn't notice it before, but found it when he saw the Douyin slice.

Teacher Yu actually played the role of Supreme Saint Tianzun in the movie.

Needless to say, it’s quite touching.

That villain who is both cool and domineering.

Hold supreme power and maintain the order of destiny.

It is highly consistent with Teacher Yu’s mature and cool temperament.

Although the plot of the movie was significantly changed from the original novel, it caused a lot of controversy and its overall reputation failed to hold up.

But many viewers still expressed a certain degree of affirmation of Sister Yu's appearance.

Below the Tik Tok video slices, you can see all kinds of flattery from the audience who are so beautiful that it makes you lick the screen.

After all, an old Bentley is still a Bentley.

The roadshow of "Bad Genius" came to an end.

Yijie finally returned to her loyal Magic City.

Tangren Film and Television Company is rooted in Shanghai. As the company's top lady, Liu Shishi spends more than half of the year in Shanghai.

I have been really exhausted during this period.

For more than ten days in a row, I was either on a roadshow or on the road.

It is common to travel to two or three cities a day.

This movie is carried solely by the heroine Liu Shishi.

Naturally, they have to bear most of the publicity burden.

To the extent that she could fall asleep while talking on the phone with Zhou Yutang at night.

She lay comfortably for more than ten hours and was reluctant to get up until Taozi's phone call woke her up.

"Sister Shishi, there is a seminar on "The Gunman" and the invitation has been sent."

"When?"

"It's scheduled for next Wednesday."

"Then help me arrange it."

Liu Shishi sent a message to Zhou Yutang and casually discussed the next itinerary with Taozi.

Since the Spring Festival this year, domestic films have been in a slump.

Apart from "Chasing the Dragon" which had a box office of over 10 billion, it was "Bad Genius" that carried the banner of domestic films.

Watching several imported blockbusters in a row has greatly boosted morale, which is certainly commendable.

Liu Shishi has participated in the seminar on "Assassins 2" and is no stranger to it.

Such seminars usually bring together experts from the industry, academia and commentary circles.

Exchanges were held on breakthroughs in the film's creative techniques and exploration of emotional expression.

Summarize the experience, affirm the achievements, and then attract media coverage.

Zhou Yutang was busy with something and would reply later.

He was about to record the variety show "Actors" and was also busy with the start of the sequel to "Snow", so he had no time to take care of this matter.

However, the "Gunman" WeChat work group became lively.

Director Wen Muye and producers Chen Xi and Huo Wenxi were all there, so I wasn't lonely at all.

Liu Shishi had a rare two-day vacation, but she didn't know what to do with her free time.

Unless she has a party with her friends or girlfriends, she prefers to do her own things at home rather than go out and play.

After thinking about it, I collected some snacks that Zhou Yutang bought for me and started watching the drama.

I just happened to see the plot of Huishan Daxueping.

Feng Yuanzheng is undoubtedly an excellent actor.

At first, Liu Shishi didn't even recognize him until Jin Daxi in the WeChat group sent a message:

"Isn't this An Jiahe?"

The shadow of childhood began to attack the first sister.

Teacher Feng Yuanzheng is also getting better.

This time it’s not An Jiahe, a domestic violence man who appears gentle and polite on the surface but suddenly explodes into violence.

He directly became the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family in Zhongjianzhou.

A cannon armor among the fourteen armors of the Spring and Autumn Period, a lover of gastric juice collection and the master of Daxueping in Huishan.

A martial arts master who ranks at the top of the celestial realm, at the age of 30, he challenged the spear fairy Wang Xiu and "lost half a move", at the age of 40, he forced the Wu family sword crown to use flying swordsmanship, and at the age of 50, he fought against Li Chungang with honor even though he was defeated.
In terms of strength, it is quite powerful.

Judging from human character, he is unworthy of being a human being.

This Lao Deng tried to break through to become a terrestrial immortal through dual cultivation, and specifically selected the women in his family as his cauldrons.

Including his granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter Xuanyuan Qingfeng did not intend to let go
What kind of top student is this?

Liu Shishi was watching TV and wanted to reach into the tablet and punch Lao Deng. Lao Deng also coveted Lianhua Lang Murong Tonghuang. Liu Shishi's pupils trembled and her mouth opened slightly: "This is..."

“Fuck, this… this Murong Tonghuang is Lu Han!?”

"Grand Commander, you are amazing."

"Why did Lu Han play this role? Didn't you see the promotion?"

"Calm down, there are too many big stars, Liu Yifei, Nazha, Teacher Fan, Reba, Meng Ziyi, oh my god, there are too many beauties in this drama."

"To be honest, Lu Han's acting was pretty good!"

"Am I the only one who cares about this fight scene? It's awesome!"

Netizens who were watching the video on Bilibili were swiping the screen with comments like crazy, and Liu Shishi had no choice but to turn on half-screen display.

There are limited episodes in a TV series, so it is impossible to film them all according to the original novel worth millions of words.

For example, Murong Tonghuang, in the original novel, was a pair of extremely beautiful siblings, and some words were devoted to them.

But in the TV series, the two characters are merged into one and set as teammates of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and at the moment there is only a brief glimpse of them.

The main purpose is to highlight that Xuanyuan Laodeng is not a human being.

While advancing the plot, it also pulls on the audience's emotions.

Do you want to ravage this pitiful little deer?
The audience's anger level instantly reached the maximum.

At this time, Xuanyuan Jingcheng finally stopped forbearing in order to protect his daughter Xuanyuan Qingfeng.

Dressed in a Confucian robe, he was as graceful as an immortal, and he climbed up to the Daxueping of Huishan Mountain.

"Xuanyuan Jingcheng, please let our ancestors die!"

Once he entered the realm of Confucian Sage, he had the ultimate showdown with Xuanyuan Dapan of the Great Celestial Realm, and finally triggered the thunder from heaven, and they both perished.

Then, it was Xu Fengnian who stood in the rain again, holding an umbrella for Xuanyuan Qingfeng.

Li Chungang saw this scene.

I was slightly stunned.

A good actor has this kind of ability.

Sometimes there are no lines.

Just a glance and a slight twitch of the facial muscles can draw the audience into the play.

Xu Fengnian was holding an umbrella for Xuanyuan Qingfeng. Li Chungang's eyes were slightly red, and the faint light reflected the past years.

That year, it was also raining heavily on the Demon-Slaying Platform.

He carried a green robe and held an umbrella for the woman.
At this moment, the back of the man in green robe flashed in the picture.

If the spring breeze feels pity for the flowers, can it allow me to stay young again?
Seeing this, Liu Shishi was deeply moved, and then she saw an even more shocking scene.

Li Chungang swung his sword and entered the land of immortals again.

The plot at Huishan Daxueping is full of climaxes.

On the night of the broadcast, CCTV's ratings exceeded 4, creating a ratings miracle in the Dharma-Ending Age.

Especially the fighting scenes, which are so exciting that people don’t want to fast forward.

To be precise.

There is not a single bad fighting scene in the entire drama "Snow".

Even the first glimpse of Nazha's appearance can directly give people the impact of her extraordinary beauty.

Not to mention that when Wang Xianzhi appeared on the stage, people seemed to see the Xiong Ba of the past.

He stepped on the sea and fought alone against Huang Zhentu, with strong energy flowing everywhere.

The clouds from the nine heavens hang down, and the waters from the four seas stand still. What an invincible grace!
#Xuanyuan Jingcheng, please die#

#Li Chungang re-enters the fairyland on land#

#Special effects of fighting scenes in the snow#
#Lu Han plays Murong Tong Huang#
The next day, many entries related to "Snow" had firmly occupied the hot search rankings.

"This duel between the Confucian sages and the celestial phenomena is so exciting, so exciting!"

“The fighting scenes are of movie quality!”

"Commander-in-Chief Zhou seemed to have revealed in an interview that the fight scene where Xuanyuan Jingcheng kills his way to the Daxueping of Huishan cost tens of millions of dollars."

"Oh my god, this is too extravagant. Can't we just live like this? This is almost as much as the production cost of other low-budget TV series."

"For the Grand Commander, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket."

"I'm curious, the cast of 'In the Snow' is so luxurious, don't those stars get paid?"

In the Internet age, celebrity pay is no longer a secret.

Although there is a Grand Commander guarding the gate of domestic entertainment film remuneration.

But it’s still easy for top stars to reach 208 on day one.

Currently, the mainstream method of calculating celebrity pay in the circle is mostly based on the number of episodes the character appears in the drama.

It is generally required to appear in at least five scenes per episode.

If a single episode has less than five scenes, it will be converted based on the actual number of scenes.

There are also package prices, which means that the producer and the actor negotiate the total amount of role and shooting period in advance and agree on the total remuneration at one time.

Top stars can earn 70 to 80 million for one drama.

So even the international star Zhang Ziyi has descended from heaven to earth and plunged into the drama circle.

A popular young actress who is known for her outspokenness once let something slip on a variety show, which caused an uproar.

Netizens were shocked that making money in the entertainment industry is as easy as drinking water. They dug out the pay contract of that young actress and made such jokes.

If we convert his pay into an average daily amount, we get $208 a day.

However, as far as "Snow" is concerned, there are too many top stars, and there are actually a few who don't want money, such as Teacher Fan, Lu Han and Hu Ge.

The role is not that big, and it is basically just a friendly guest appearance.

In addition to Li Jie, who played Xuanyuan Jingcheng and received high praise, the discussion about Lu Han was even more heated.

"Take the little deer away, the little deer's acting skills are amazing!"

"How could the Grand Commander let Xiaolu play this role? [Breaking down in tears]"

"This is what we call a professional actor's accomplishment. Look at Lin Qingxia's performance as Dongfang Bubai back then. It was a classic in the film industry."

"Am I the only one who thinks that Xiaolu has a kind of stunning and charming feeling?"

"+1 upstairs!"

As the leader of the four kings under the emperor of domestic entertainment, Lu Han is undoubtedly the top star.

His every move is watched by many fans.

The demands of most passers-by and fans are simple: look at the face.

Beauty is justice.

So even though the role played by Lu Han is quite controversial.

But he is good-looking enough in the play.

Those are not the problem.

Therefore, Lu Han's Murong Tonghuang easily won the support of most fans.

There are also some outrageous fujoshi who even started to support the CP of Lu Han and Governor Zhou.
As for the small number of crazy fans who strongly oppose, the girls in the fan club will teach them a lesson and they won't be able to cause any waves.

"Boss, I suspect you did this on purpose."

"What's intentional?"

Just before boarding the private plane, Chen Duling looked at Zhou Yutang suspiciously, but could not see any clues.

Chen Duling, whose IQ is obviously higher than that of ordinary girls, played a straight ball: "I said you deliberately let Lu Han play Murong Tonghuang."

Zhou Yutang turned his head, raised the corner of his mouth nonchalantly, and glanced at her.

Look at it from this angle.

The extremely high brow bone and nose bridge structure are perfect, and the profile is even more exquisite and impeccable.

The beauty was so stunning that it had a visual impact, and Chen Duling was actually dazed for a moment.

He shines brighter than the sun.
