China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 879: When time comes, heaven and earth all work together

"Director Teng, please come in."

The secretary made a gesture of invitation and led a slightly fat middle-aged man into the room.

La Peikang shook hands with the visitor and exchanged a few friendly greetings.

The secretary began to serve tactfully.

Soon, the golden and clear tea was stirred in the cup.

The rich aroma gradually spreads.

After a quick tidying up, the secretary left.

A little girl came up and asked in a low voice, "Brother Dong, why don't you cooperate with Mr. Zhou?"

"Leaders have their own considerations and should consider the overall situation"

The secretary gave him a profound ideological education with righteous words, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Why did Yuan Benchu ​​refuse to listen to Tian Feng?

Having been with La Peikang for so long, he knew it very well.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I can’t.

Because Zhou Yutang had already been branded by the previous faction.

Although the two leaders were able to maintain respectability, they did not have much friendship in private.

One emperor and one courtier.

After Han Sanye stepped down from his position, several of his old subordinates were immediately transferred away from the core.

This one fact alone determines that the relationship between two people will never be close.

Especially this time the last dance of the tribute film did not live up to expectations, even Pei Kang was blamed and was compared with Han Sanye.

Therefore, it is even more impossible to be together.

The secretary was in great shock, but he didn't tell anyone else.

However, there was a happy atmosphere in the chairman's office.

Warm greetings were inevitable. After drinking tea, La Peikang crossed his fingers and spoke, getting straight to the point:

"Director Teng, I've already seen the plan you made."

"Oh?"

Teng Wentao put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, and listened attentively: "What advice do you have, Mr. La?"

“It’s a good idea, but there are a few problems.”

La Peikang tapped the coffee table lightly with his finger and said in a friendly manner:

"First of all, the cost budget is a little high. Secondly, it is a science fiction film, and the tone is more literary and romantic. Is it still open to question?"

"Mr. La, you know that our country has never had a science fiction movie before."

Teng Wentao pushed up his black-framed glasses and continued, "We are now walking a path that no one has walked before, and the most important thing is the special effects.

You can't do it without spending money.

Lian Jiangdong's production of "The Wandering Earth" is said to have an initial budget of nearly 400 million yuan, and the possibility of additional investment in the later stage is not ruled out.

In addition to China Film, we are also in talks with Huashi, Juhe, and Alibaba. If we join forces, we can fully support this fund!"

"Well, what you said makes sense."

La Peikang thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and smiled like a spring breeze: "How confident are you in doing this?"

"Fifty percent."

"Fifty percent?"

"I am ready to take on this responsibility because I am determined to do it."

"You are a professional in film and television. You should know that there are many types of science fiction movies, some of which are disaster-like or war-like, such as alien invasions."

Teng Wentao started his three-wheeled eloquence, pointing out the situation with saliva flying all over the place, "The project we are working on now is a science fiction blockbuster with Chinese emotions, which is a milestone!
Now, "Wolf Warrior 2" has well verified that patriotic films can work. As long as you can perfectly combine patriotism with science fiction special effects, and add some sentimental boost, it's like cooking, and finally thickening the sauce, the taste will come out."

"let me think again."

La Peikang thought thoughtfully: "As an actor, what are your plans?"

"Let's choose Zhou Yutang first. He's the only one who can carry the box office."

"Substitute someone else."

La Peikang frowned angrily: "How can he have time? He has several projects lined up."

Even in the tribute film The Last Dance directed by him, Zhou Yutang was invited.

After several polite refusals, La Peikang knew what was going on in his mind, and that his willingness was priceless.

"It would be best if we could invite Zhou Yutang, but if not, there are alternatives. I need a young actor who has enough box office appeal among young people."

Teng Wentao's fat face showed a smile that was so sincere that it was outrageous:

"Of course, everything will be decided by you, Mr. La. You are the only one at the helm of this project."

"Teng Wentao is making a science fiction film?"

After hearing the news from the retired old man Han Sanping, Zhou Yutang was stunned for a long time.

Ask who this person is.

He is the son of Teng Wenji, a veteran director in the Beijing circle.

He is also a descendant of a film and television family like poet Chen.

For this kind of second generation, it is not difficult for them to come to the fore because their family elders spare no effort to pave the way for them. They can achieve success early and become famous figures in the circle.

He is not as famous as poet Chen who became a legend overnight in Cannes, but he is also considered a big director in the drama circle.

Just one movie "Dwelling Narrowness" is enough to make him ascend to heaven.

After that, he turned to the film industry and made two low-budget youth films. They were not big hits at the box office, but he still made some money.

We organized a group with Jiangnan’s popular IP “Magic City Fortress”.

"Xiao Zhou, you don't think this project is promising?"

Liu Yifei listened to Zhou Yutang talking on the phone and asked while hugging his arm.

"In fact, the original story is a bit thin. If it is not carefully polished, it will not be up to standard."

Zhou Yutang smiled, "It doesn't matter whether I am optimistic or not. Pei Kang has set up this scheme. We will know whether it is a mule or a horse when the time comes. We will take it out for a walk and see."

"Have you learned anything from Chen Daoming these days?"

"Teacher Chen taught me a lot, but it was so tiring."

Liu Yifei thought about it for a moment and said with some distress: "It's very difficult to keep up with his performance rhythm."

"normal."

Zhou Yutang laughed when he heard this.

Chen Daoming's acting skills are T0 in limited types of roles.

This time, Cao Changqing happens to be within his acting comfort zone.

It was like opening up a territory and Liu Yifei could only be led along.

However, Chen Daoming also took good care of him.

Princess Taiping Jiang Ni is the heroine in Snow and has many important roles in the sequel.

Of course, the most important thing is the relationship between Liu Yifei and the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

In addition to the careful guidance of Chen Daoming and Group B director Sun Hao, another teacher from the Central Academy of Drama, Chen Shu, also gave Miss Liu a lot of advice.

Miss Liu and the beautiful lady Chen Shu get along well. The photos of them taken together a few days ago were posted on social media and became a hot topic.

"Ng's number of hits has decreased significantly compared to when the machine was first launched. He has performed well and has made progress."

Zhou Yutang gave enough emotional value, and Miss Liu was not very content. Her pair of plump legs, as white as mutton-fat jade, moved back and forth, making someone distracted.

He grabbed the beautiful leg in his hand. Liu Yifei struggled but failed to break free.

She didn't bother to pay attention, and just asked curiously: "Aren't you going to the BRICS Film Festival? How do you know that I performed well?"

"Your Director Sun sends me work reports every day."

Patting the perky butt, Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows.

When a god like the Grand Commander comes down to earth to film a movie, the entire crew, which is said to have a billion-dollar crew, revolves around him.

Even for someone as high-ranking as Director Kong Sheng, this is the case, so Sun Hao naturally cannot avoid becoming a supporting role.

"You are truly an invincible super drama queen in the universe."

Liu Yifei muttered, "Xiao Zhou, you've only been back for a short time, and you're going to Venice again."

"Reluctant?"

"I'd be reluctant to do that."

Miss Liu snorted proudly.

After joining the team, the two were separated into two groups, and in fact they only saw each other once or twice a week.

The main reason is that Zhou Yutang is rehearsing a series of night shows, and the schedules are perfectly staggered.

The opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival is at the end of the month. Chen Xi has already taken people there to prepare for it in advance, and Zhou Yutang must also arrive before the opening ceremony.

The midsummer sea breeze blows across Xiangshan Mountain, and the filming on the crew's side is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Kong Sheng also gave it his all and rehearsed the night play for several days in a row.

Since the boss wants to stay up late, I will accompany him even if my life takes a toll on my life since I am only 57 years old this year and it is the right age to build a career.

Since the end of August, another film that Bona's Yu Pangzi was preparing to steal in the summer season, "Breakthrough", which was adapted from the South Korean film "The End", has finally been served.

The lineup of King Guo + Wang Qianyuan + Teacher Bai seemed to be OK, but the box office still failed to shake the king status of "Wolf Warrior 2", with only 1878 million in the first day.

"General Zhou has a very thorough plan. He really got it right."

"It was said that 3 billion was the minimum guarantee, and there was no upper limit. It was really true."

It was only then that netizens remembered the tips that Governor Zhou left behind at the premiere.

Later, some Conan fans solved the case by using clues from the lipstick color and other details, confirming that it was Guli Nazha's lipstick, and it became a hot topic.

"Old Wang, why do you still keep that?"

"I'm going to frame this and keep it as a souvenir."

Wang from Guangguang was extremely pleased and happy. He asked, "Did Mr. Guang tell you about the academic seminar and celebration banquet for Wolf Warrior 2? How did he say it?"

"Let Wu Jing go to the seminar."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and said, "As for the celebration banquet, just hold it. I can't leave for a while."

"That won't work."

Wang Guangguang teased, "Without you here, who would dare to pick up their chopsticks?"

"I'm going to Venice in a couple of days."

"I almost forgot about this. I wish you win the Golden Lion."

Lao Wang gave his blessing and quickly made a decision, "Then we'll hold one first, and then we'll hold another one when you come back."

The market value of Guangxian originally fluctuated around 20 billion yuan. During this period, it was tied to Zhou Yutang and hyped up the Jiangdong concept.

Wolf Warrior is on the rise again, and they are working together to create the Conferred Gods Universe.

Various good news continue to come out and market sentiment is high.

Institutions are supporting the market and hot money is entering the market.

Retail investors followed suit and entered the market to make money, driving the share price of Guangxian Company to soar like a rocket.

What is there to say?

It is better to arrange well than to fight well.

There is Zhou Yutang, a man of all powers.

As long as you hold on to the big guys and play a good supporting role, you can quickly gain points.

Lao Wang opened a bottle of champagne, but Hua Yi from the opposite house was so angry that lemon trees were about to sprout in his eyes.

Knowing that this movie is riding on this wave, it is likely to have very high box office.

But I never expected it to be so high beyond the boundaries of cognition. It is about to cross the 6 billion threshold.

"When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together!"

A group of Huayi's senior executives sighed at the company's meeting.

"Based on the 60 billion box office, after deducting the special fund and business tax, the distribution and production parties will get 23.66 billion after the cinema chain and the theater share. Guangguang picked up the money this time."

"Jiangdong earns more money, and Maoyan is also responsible for the distribution. The profit sharing alone can reach more than 8 million yuan."

"That's not all. The revenue from the game collaboration is also considerable and difficult to estimate."

The profit of a movie is actually higher than the total profit of a listed company's projects in a year.

If they hadn’t seen the miracle happening before their eyes, none of the Huayi executives present would have dared to believe it.

When they looked at each other, everyone's eyes were green.

They are Wolf Warriors, and they are Big Bad Wolf meeting the sheep of the Sheep Village.

If Huayi, which has a stronger foundation than Guangxian, had hyped this concept, Huayi would have already grown bigger and stronger, and its trillion-dollar aircraft carrier would have set sail.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
Da Wang tapped the table with his finger, pulling everyone back to reality from their wonderful fantasy. "How is the progress over there, Director Xu?"

"'Detective Dee' is about to wrap up, but this is the last film contract that Director Xu's studio signed with us, and he has clearly stated that he will not renew the contract."

"If it rains, and my mother wants to marry, then let it be."

Wang Zhongjun frowned slightly, but didn't say much. He just continued to ask, "How is the promotion plan for Sky Hunter?"

After the summer vacation, the National Day vacation comes next, which is also the golden period of the year.

"Boss Wang, don't worry."

The director of the publicity department stood up and said confidently, "I have arranged everything. I guarantee that everything will go well."

"The Air Force-themed version of Wolf Warriors 2, with a total investment of over million yuan, has been scheduled for the National Day holiday!
The film will combine the external form of the main theme with the core of a commercial genre film, and the film will feature the most advanced fighter jets of the Chinese military!"

"Without morals, anything is possible."

Meng Ziyi flipped through the press release sent out from the other side and muttered, "They've been trying to slack off since the project was established, and they've been trying to slack off until now."

When Huayi originally acquired "Sky Hunter", "Operation Mekong" was very popular.

At that time, it was focusing on hyping up "Operation Mekong", and now it is starting to promote "Wolf Warrior 2" in advance.

After more than two months, Da Mimi finally finished filming the "Wushuang" crew.

She was so busy that she worked almost non-stop. As soon as the filming was finished, she endorsed the brand and immediately attended the press conference for "Legend of Fuyao".

Even so, I still have the energy to play a game with Zhou Yutang in the evening.

I'm playing "Peace Elite".

Sister Mi’s account KDA is as high as 12, but that’s not to say she’s that great.

Instead, they paid for a professional coach, who killed players indiscriminately and gained points as easily as drinking water.

However, after entering the game, the fox's true tail was revealed.

Wearing a ghillie suit, lying on the grass, he watched Zhou Yutang kill a group of people, and then ran over to plunder the loot:
“When are we leaving for Venice?”

"Next week."

"I heard that you have a filming trip to Ningxia next month?"

"You even know our crew's filming schedule?"

Zhou Yutang raised an eyebrow: "Sister Mi, you are really powerful."

"That's what the media said. Ningxia officials even issued a notice to build momentum."

Da Mimi got on Zhou Yutang's scooter and said, "Maybe we can meet in Ningxia."

Sister Mi's drama precipitation plan had to be temporarily shelved.

Because another capital-led drama, "The Legend of Fuyao", has already been prepared and is just waiting for her schedule to be available.

This is the case with the most popular female stars, whose schedules are scheduled until the year after next.

The contract for this play was signed in advance, so it is impossible to go back on it.

Da Mimi is so popular, and another first-line female star from the Jiangdong family, Zhao Liying, is also gaining momentum.

"Why are you fighting with Wu Yifan again?"

Seeing that the crew was discussing this matter, Zhou Yutang also asked another question.

"Isn't Sister Ying going to collaborate with Wu Yifan on a new song?"

"Xiao Zhao can also sing?"

A question mark appeared on Zhou Yutang's forehead.

The two of them participated in Mango TV’s self-produced variety show "The 72-Story Tower" together.

This gimmick was deliberately created to promote the show.

Meng Ziyi was like a cheerful lark: "Sister Ying's team made a mistake in posting a Weibo post, and wrote 'Thank you for your sincere invitation', and then the Megan's started making a fuss."

People fight for a breath of air, trees fight for a piece of bark.

In the eyes of fans, ranking is very important.

It was clearly you who asked our brother to write the song?

Why does he seem to be trying to please you now?

From restraint to local friction, and then to all-out fighting, the fans of both sides fought until the street was almost wiped out.

It’s still the same old way of fans tearing each other apart, revealing all kinds of dark history.

On the one hand, she scolded Tuji for tying up a male star for publicity, and on the other hand, she hit back at Wu Yifan for having a messy private life and not wanting to be his girlfriend.

This incident had a huge impact and was on several hot searches.

Secretary Chen Duling was quite competent and took the initiative to ask, "Boss, how do we handle this?"

"Go say hello to Sister Shuang and knock on that line."

Zhou Yutang sneered and didn't take it seriously.

After Zhao Liying left Jiangdong, she set up her own studio and used her own team.

But there are also shares of Jiangdong, and he gets a lot of dividends every year.

This is someone brought up by the Grand Commander, so of course we have to support her.

What's more, after the broadcast of "Day and Night Chase", "Princess Agents" jointly produced by Jiangdong and Tangren has been doing pre-promotion, so it is necessary to cool down the public opinion a little.

"I see."

Chen Duling took the phone, went out and started making a call.

Meng Ziyi held his chin with both hands, his mouth was faster than his brain: "Boss, what if they don't stop?"

"Then they should stop doing it."

Zhou Yutang chuckled and glanced at Meng Ziyi with a disdainful look in his eyes.
