China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 866: Just thinking about it makes me excited
"Tesla's Gigafactory is about to land in Shanghai, and important leaders will attend the signing ceremony!"

"The two young tycoons were chatting and laughing, and Ma Sheng said frankly that he was a big fan of Governor Zhou!"

The news that Ma Sheng came to China to invest and build a factory swept across the entire Chinese network like a tidal wave.

Before this, he was somewhat famous in China.

But he is certainly not as well-known as Zhou Yutang.

Compared with Zuckerberg's team, Ma Sheng's marketing team is undoubtedly more powerful.

Directly made a marketing plan tied to Zhou Yutang.

Both of them are young super-rich people who are very popular and are leaders in their respective fields.

Whenever it is mentioned, it becomes very popular.

For Zhou Yutang, it didn’t matter much.

Anyway, there are quite a few people who take advantage of his traffic, and I've already gotten used to it. There's not a single Thomas Saint left.

After the social event, Zhou Yutang returned to his home in Shanghai.

Liu Shishi, who was applying a facial mask, came over and helped Zhou Yutang change into slippers.

After making him a cup of honey water, Zhou Yutang had just sat down on the sofa when he received another call.

Liu Shishi was not surprised by this.

Teacher Ma often said that he was too busy to spend money.

Zhou Yutang also has a lot of things on his hands.

Most of the work has already been filtered through the assistant team.

Even so, there is still a lot of important work to do.

But he spoke English.

Zhou Yutang spoke very fluently, and Liu Shishi vaguely recognized the voice as that of Natalie, Bob's favorite general.

As for what was said, with my poor English, I only understood roughly what was said.

It seems to be related to the business in Hollywood, and the name Amber was also mentioned.

Yijie became alert instantly, stopped slapping her face, and even her ears perked up.

The captain's ex-wife is notorious, so we must be on guard against her.

She pretended to take care of her skin, but in fact her mind was not on it at all.

He glanced at her with a quick look, and used the corner of his eye to steal a glimpse at Zhou Yutang sending a message.

Zhou Yutang sent a voice message to Zou Zhongyan in front of her.

"What are you talking about?"

"This Ma Sheng wants to promote a project for Warner."

Zhou Yutang threw his cell phone aside, held Liu Shishi's slender waist, and brought her body into his arms.

The freshness of orange blossom and Sicily mandarin interweaves into a light and enchanting base.

“Itchy~~”

The snow-like skin shaved by the slightly hardened chin stubble was swept by an intoxicating red glow. Liu Shishi gently pushed the man and said curiously,
"Isn't he building cars? How did he get involved with the entertainment industry?"

"The captain's ex-wife."

"Amber Heard?"

"Aren't the two of them having a hot time?"

Zhou Yutang smiled softly.

Warner Bros. does not attach nearly as much importance to the art film "Joker" as it does to the superhero blockbuster "Aquaman".

Because the former was seen as a bonus in the deal to sign Zhou Yutang.

Warner's much-anticipated "Aquaman" is still waiting for Zhou Yutang's release schedule, but the early preparations have already begun.

Including the behind-the-scenes team, special effects plan, and casting of the film, everything is moving forward.

Aquaman is naturally Jason Momoa, the ultimate macho horse king in Game of Thrones.

Many supporting roles have also been confirmed, among which the important character Black Bat, who is the person used by Warner to pave the way for the DC Universe, has the correct skin color.

As for Queen Atlanna of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, Zhou Yutang prefers Nicole Kidman.

When she was young, Nicole Kidman was seen as a vase by the outside world, and her shine was completely overshadowed by her ex-husband Tom Cruise.

After her divorce, she went from being a diamond beauty in "Moulin Rouge" to winning the Oscar for Best Actress for "The Hours".

She proved with her actions that emotions will only affect the pace of progress.

Aquaman, damn, since of course it has to be top-notch.

The old Rolls-Royce can also provide the top driving experience.

Liu Shishi listened to Zhou Yutang's talk with great interest: "So Ma Sheng wants to arrange for Amber to play the leading female role?"

"That's probably what it means."

"Then did you agree?"

"Why should I agree?"

Zhou Yutang chuckled.

With his scheming and cunning mind, he would definitely not get carried away by Ma Sheng's polite compliments.

Who would do something that has no benefit?
Ma Sheng’s woman is not his girlfriend.

If you don't drive someone else's car, there's no reason to refuel someone else's car.

"The sequel to "Snow Swordsman" will be launched soon, starring Zhou Yutang, Liu Yifei, Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming and other original cast members!
At the same time, Jiangdong Entertainment's Executive President Li Shuang said at the press conference that the "Sword Comes" spin-off movie project of "Snow" has been established, and it is expected that the movie will be released within five years! "

Zhou Yutang confronted Ma Sheng in Shanghai, and the popular "Snow" held a press conference in Beijing, officially announcing the progress of the sequel.

The announced list of actors includes Simon Yam, Liu Dehua, Yu Rongguang, Li Ruotong, as well as a group of veteran actors from Li Yang Dynasty.

On the day of the press conference, more than 200 media outlets gathered together.

Not only domestic media, but also media from Japan, South Korea, Thailand and other Asian countries heard the news and came to the event. It can be said that all the wise men have come.

"Grand Commander, don't you want to take a break? Why don't you take Tianxian and Yijie on a trip? I'm afraid of you working so hard!"

"This is really full of energy. The most terrifying thing is that he is so rich and yet so ambitious. If it were me, I would be partying every night and never want to leave."

“Is it possible that it is because of his ambition that he has been able to build his current empire?”

"Fuck, it's another cast of gods, and Liu Dehua is called in to play a supporting role? Only the Grand Commander can have such an appearance!"

"Hurry up and start filming, don't take a break. Women will only affect the speed of filming. You can talk about love with Liu Yifei on the set."

Netizens only knew how to watch the fun and join in the clamor, but Zhou Yutang had a lot more things to consider.

Because the sequel of "Snow" is about to start filming, I will inevitably have to flirt with the beauty on the crew.

So during this period of time, the master of keeping things balanced took time out to spend more time with Liu Shishi.

In addition, while managing his time, Zhou Yutang called Liu Dehua, "Brother Hua, how is your recovery going?"

"The doctor said that the condition is good and he will be able to walk in more than a month. It will not affect the specific filming."

King Liu seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhou, congratulations on the huge ratings of "Snowy", it's really amazing!"

If we were to embody the attributes of a star, then Liu Dehua has undoubtedly maxed out his professionalism.

He had just fallen off a horse while filming a commercial and had surgery. Not long after taking a rest, he immediately came out to work in his wheelchair.

At his age, he can still maintain such a good body, thanks to decades of self-discipline.

"There's no rush for this. The shooting period this time is quite long. Brother Hua, please take care of yourself. I'll ask Mr. Jiang to put your role at the back."

That’s right, Zhou Yutang invited King Liu to play the role of Gu Jiantang, a passerby in The Spring and Autumn Period in Snow.

As one of the four famous generals in the Spring and Autumn Period, Gu Jiantang's military talent is unquestionable.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the nine kingdoms were unified by Li Yang. Xu Xiao led the Northern Liang army to conquer six kingdoms, while the remaining two kingdoms were conquered by Gu Jiantang.

He controls 300,000 elite soldiers and is an extremely important figure in the Liyang Dynasty. He is also known as the best swordsman in the world.

Yuan Tingshan, played by Jia Qiange, who appeared in the second half of the first season, is Gu Jiantang's lackey.

The original novel basically just makes a cameo appearance, and the TV series version has been slightly adapted.

A lot of groundwork was laid in the first season, and the show officially debuted in the second season.

I was deeply involved in the explosive plot of Cao Changqing's transformation from Confucianism to tyranny and his attack on Tai'an City alone in green clothes.

For an excellent TV series, the glory must not be entirely on the male and female protagonists.

Just like in "Joy of Life", supporting characters such as Chen Pingping, Wang Qinian, Emperor Qing, and Li Yunrui are all very vivid.

The same is true for "In the Snow", Jian Jiuhuang, Xuanyuan Jingcheng, the old sword god Li Chungang, and even Xu Yongguan, an unknown old soldier from Beiliang.

All of them are outstanding.

Wang Changtian's joy was probably in vain.

Light Media bet on two movies for the summer season, but the total box office of "Secret Fruit" failed to exceed 10 million and was hastily closed.

Next is the comedy movie "Father and Son Warriors", which originally grossed over 30 million on the first day and 97 million in the first weekend, suppressing the epic mythological blockbuster "The Monkey King", which is also worth looking forward to.

As a result, after entering the second week, the box office plummeted, suddenly falling to just over 10 million.

"Brother Peng, don't worry about it. I think that person might have some mental problems."

The assistant said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the security guard reacted quickly and stopped him. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, let's move on to the next stop."

After finishing another roadshow, Dong Xiaopeng returned to the car and scrolled through the box office data on the Maoyan app. He couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

******
"If I could turn back time, I would definitely listen to Mr. Zhou's advice"

On the flight back to Beijing, Zhou Yutang's phone vibrated and he received a WeChat message from Zhang Tianai.

"Father and Son" is currently being screened around the world, and Dong Xiaopeng is currently taking her on a roadshow.

I was just doing promotional work in a movie studio, and ended up getting yelled at in person by some irritable audience member.

The scene was very embarrassing.

Zhang Tianai didn't know what to say when this happened, but Dong Xiaopeng kept smiling throughout the whole process despite the rain and wind.

Finally, he honestly admitted his shortcomings in front of the audience and said that he would adjust his attitude, improve himself and give back to the audience.

"He is quite a character."

"."

Chen Duling couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw Zhou Yutang briefly chat with Zhang Tianai and the chat interface switched to Zhou Ye.

The dedicated flight attendant bent down and poured freshly squeezed orange juice. The two chatted casually.
"Boss, what advice did you give Dong Xiaopeng?" "Nothing much, just asking him to calm down and polish his first movie seriously."

"Then he didn't listen."

Chen Duling asked with her head tilted, and then felt a little dazed.

If I had listened to it, there would have been no movie called "The Pancake Man".

“People always think they are special, but only after they hit a wall do they realize that they are just one of the many.”

Zhou Yutang smiled, took a sip of orange juice, and leisurely replied to Da Meiyu's message.

One day the great roc rises with the wind and soars up to 90,000 miles.

At that time, "Diaosi Nanzi" was all the rage on the Internet, and Dong Xiaopeng was ambitious to enter the film and television industry.

At that time, he naturally would not listen to the advice of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

As a result, "The Pancake Man" was a box office hit but its reputation tanked.

The two producers, Sohu and Mihang, made a lot of money, and Dong Xiaopeng proved to the capital that he had the ability to manage projects profitably.

But the trust he had in the hearts of the audience was also consumed.

I was a sucker in the first movie, so I deserve to be scolded and stand at attention.

Zhou Xingxing has the capital to make the audience pay for his feelings.

That's because of more than 20 years of accumulation, including a series of classic movies such as "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One", "Justice, My Foot", "The God of Cookery", "Shaolin Soccer", and "Kung Fu", which have truly influenced a generation.

Dong Xiaopeng does not have such a foundation, and what he owes to the audience can only be repaid with time.
******
"Bad Genius" has grossed 11.54 billion yuan in three weeks since its release, and the transnational cheating case has sparked nationwide discussion!"

"The movie "Time Travel Cohabitation", directed by Su Lun and starring Zhang Ruojun and Jing Tian, ​​has finished the casting stage and will officially start filming soon!"

Two pieces of news in a row shocked everyone in the circle.

Apart from the miraculous return on investment, "The Gunman" fired the first shot of the summer season.

Su Lun quietly finalized the cast and quickly made final preparations before filming began.

In fact, the main focus of "Time Raiders" is basically on the male and female protagonists.

The sweet princess chosen by the Grand Commander has been in seclusion in the school at the foot of the mountain these days.

Teacher Liu Tianchi will provide her with one-on-one guidance and will also join the crew to help her understand the role.

This is the rule in Jiangdong. Even if one gets into a project through the back door, at least one's acting skills have to be worthy of the audience.

Zhou Yutang had just returned to the capital and was on his way to the Navy Headquarters when he heard Chen Duling's low cry.
"Boss, the lead singer of Linkin Park committed suicide."

"what?"

Zhou Yutang took the phone and took a look at it.

He often listens to the songs of this band while working out these days.

I really didn't expect that Chester Bennington was only 41 years old. It's really a pity.

"Welcome, Mr. Zhou!"

When they arrived at the shooting site, the crew members who had received the news in advance, led by Director Tang of the Navy Political Department, Chen Xi, Lu Yang, Duan Yihong and others, all came out to greet them.

A lot of media gathered outside the crew, carrying cameras and looking vaguely excited.

They all have their own information channels and know that the filming of this main-theme commercial blockbuster has reached the final stage.

In fact, this is exactly the case. At this time, most of the filming of "Operation Red Sea" has been completed.

To be precise, only some shots of Zhou Yutang were reshot.

It turned out that the Grand Admiral's schedule was tight and this scene was not in the script. This was the result of repeated and strong requests from Director Tang of the Navy, Li Shuang, Chen Xi, the director and others.

"The movie has a little bit of poppy in it, just like adding poppy shells to a noodle shop, and the audience can't stop watching it."

Zhang Guoli, who also served as a guest leader, arrived at the crew early and joked.

"Uncle Zhang, isn't this analogy inappropriate?"

"I didn't say that."

Zhang Guoli's whole body was filled with joy when he was called Uncle Zhang. Facing everyone's gaze, he smiled indescribably happy:
"I saw a comment online saying, if there are more than 10,000 likes, you just have to make a small sacrifice."

"I testify that this is true."

Chen Duling was also smiling secretly.

She never told Zhou Yutang that she became a fan because of "The Man from Nowhere".

Putting aside her boss's lifestyle, Chen Duling is very impressed by his appeal for viewership.

He has been in the industry for ten years and has been a hit on both big and small screens.

It is no exaggeration to say that any film and television project in the circle, as long as it has the title of the Grand Commander, will be immediately labeled as a potential hit.

However, he seldom makes guest appearances. It’s not because the money given by the investors is not enough, but because he cannot manage his time well. Also, it depends on his mood.

It seems that I have a lot of fun playing duo with Sister Yi these days.
Others probably had no way of knowing that Chen Duling, who appeared to be as pure as a little white flower, was actually having a head full of sinister thoughts.

"Photography team, how are the camera positions prepared?"

"Ready, Director."

"OK, all departments are ready."

"Touch up Ms. Zhou's makeup."

"Scene, quiet, 3, 2, 1, start!"

The recorder snapped, and filming began.

The re-shot shots are very simple. In a nutshell, it is the return of the Dragon King.

Because Zhou Ziyu, played by Zhou Yutang in "The Man from Lone Star", was set as the ace who withdrew from the Celestial Dragon, she was jokingly called the Dragon King by the audience.

In addition to the criminal universe, Zhou Yutang wants to connect the entire military series of films produced by Jiangdong.

Zhou Ziyu's role is to serve as a link and lubrication.

"Zhou Ziyu, I heard that you almost broke the sky in Hong Kong Island."

"Those people deserve to die."

Chen Duling sat behind the monitor, holding her chin with both hands, watching the scene between Zhou Yutang and Zhang Guoli.

Zhang Guoli's acting skills are absolutely top-notch.

Zhou Yutang was not at a disadvantage either.

Compared to her usual graceful appearance, she looked a little haggard after putting on makeup, but she quickly got into the mood.

The warm smile on his face turned cold in an instant.

It feels like a spring breeze blowing on your face one moment, but it feels like a piece of ice that will never melt the next.

A glance from those deep eyes can make people feel like a beast full of primitive wildness.

"The organization has an important task for you. I hope you and Leng Feng will not let me down."

"What mission?"

"."

"Crack!"

Lu Yang was so excited that his hands were shaking. After returning to the monitor, he carefully checked the lens and found no problem.

Finally, he shouted with relief: "Ok, it's done!"

"Wuhu!"

The entire crew was instantly immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

It took nearly five months, and the filming took place in many places at home and abroad, including Morocco and Casablanca.

In order to achieve the standard that would satisfy Governor Zhou, the staff in front of and behind the scenes put in countless hard work and sweat.

"Happy wrap, Boss."

Gold medal producer Chen Xi was also present, holding the flowers that he had prepared in advance and handing them over: "I wish you never capsize."

"Let's take a final photo."

"Tonight's wrap-up party, President Zhou will pay for it, and everyone should be drunk!"

"Mr. Zhou, the press conference outside is ready."

"Well, let's go together."

The reporters who arrived early and were waiting felt as if ants were crawling on their bodies.

When seeing Zhou Yutang appear at the press conference, every pair of eyes was like the light of a light bulb.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think of the summer movies?"

"Of course it's our own Wolf Warrior 2, which will premiere on the 22nd. Please give us your support."

Zhou Yutang didn't forget to place an advertisement.

"Mr. Zhou, when will Operation Red Sea be released?"

"The special effects have been handed over to Vision Media for preparation in advance. We may have a chance to meet you all during the Spring Festival depending on the post-production situation."

"Director Lu, how do you feel about working with Director Lin on this film?"

"Well, Director Lin Chaoxian is very experienced. I learned a lot from him, as well as from teachers Duan Yihong and Zhang Hanyu."

I am grateful to my boss for giving me this responsibility. I feel a little overwhelmed, but I can guarantee that this movie will surprise the audience."

After the training of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series, Lu Yang is also adept at dealing with the media.

The fact that Zhou Yutang made a guest appearance in "Operation Red Sea" naturally cannot be made public.

The staff outside the crew even thought that the boss was just there to supervise and attended the wrap-up party.

On the way back to the company, Chen Duling asked curiously, "Boss, are you really going to film Wolf Warrior 3 with Wu Jing in the future?"

The ultimate trump card of Jiaolong, plus the warrior king of Wolf, Leng Feng.

Just thinking about it is exciting.

Just these two people playing in duo, want to reach the moon?

"decide as things go."

Zhou Yutang smiled gently: "As long as the audience likes to watch it, this possibility will not be ruled out."

Today's reshot shot can be considered an Easter egg for "Red Sea".

I interacted with the "Wolf Warrior" series and dug a hole by the way.

As for whether to fill this hole later, it depends on fate.
