China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 896: The new generation of young actresses are so envious that they become autistic
"The new film "Shadow" produced by Jiangdong Entertainment and directed by Zhang Yimou officially started shooting at the China Film Base in Huairou, Beijing. Zhu Yilong, Wang Qianyuan, Hu Jun, Zhou Ye, Wu Lei, Wang Jingchun and others appeared at the opening ceremony!"

"The national team has been working hard for several years, and the Three Kingdoms-themed movie is coming!"

"The former Yu girl, the new Mou girl Zhou Ye, the new generation of post-95s Yan Ba ​​Xiaohua are stunningly beautiful!"

After Brother Long finished filming, he rode his Maiba Crane directly north.

The much-anticipated "Shadow" has finally started filming after a long period of preparation.

At the Beijing Dance Academy, Liu Haocun, who was taking a day off today, was dragged by her bestie to the cinema to watch "Joker" for the second time.

Watching Arthur being forced into a frenzy dance little by little by the invisible darkness, even a hotpot gathering at Haidilao, which had just opened near the school, could not ease his emotions.

I returned to the dormitory and listened to my roommates gossiping.

Liu Haocun also joined in.

One of my roommates asked, "Oh, that's right, Cunzi, you also went to the open audition, right?"

"I saw on the news a while ago that Guan Xiaotong also went there."

"I just went over there and gave it a try, without holding out much hope."

Liu Haocun forced a smile and did his own thing absent-mindedly.

"Gege Guan has such a strong background, but she couldn't snatch Zhou Ye away."

"Nonsense, don't you see where Zhou Ye comes from?"

"Could it be a relative of Zhou Yutang?"

"That's not the case, but she made her debut in The Accidental Murder, directed by the Grand Commander's favorite director, and then in The Lonely and Great God. She was treated like the little princess of the Jiangdong family."

"."

The roommates were gossiping, and Liu Haocun felt worse as he looked at Zhou Ye’s bright smile in the news broadcast.

Then he looked at the delicate face in the mirror on the desk and felt sorry for himself.

It's the age when I love to dream.

There are always some self-righteous ideas and unrealistic expectations for the future in my heart.

Who doesn’t want to become famous in the entertainment industry like Liu Shishi, Song Qian and other senior sisters from Beijing Dance Academy?

Accept flowers, praise and applause from countless people?

However, most of the time, imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel.

Liu Haocun took a shower, but was still in a low mood. He curled up on the bed with his legs hugged, browsed Weibo for a while, and then looked at Xiaohongshu.

He has only a few hundred followers on Weibo.

Apart from the dozens of passers-by fans she attracted by posting her own artistic photos to a certain school beauty and hunk marketing account.

The rest, apart from the classmates, are just some cereal zombies.

Today's big data can clearly tell what users want to see.

The recommendations to her were either about Zhou Ye joining the crew, or news about Yang Chaoyue appearing in an idol talent show, or gossip about Wang Rongran's role in "Snow".
In the era when the 85 flowers are at their peak, the pattern of the twin top streamers of the 90 flowers in northern Xinjiang has been determined.

Fresh blood is emerging in the entertainment industry, and the new generation of young actresses born after 1995 have gradually begun to appear on the stage.

As the night deepens, I am in the girls’ dormitory at Beijing Dance Academy.

Some are chatting on the phone with their boyfriends, some are watching the trailer of Fighter of the Destiny, and some girls have already fallen asleep.
There was also a very ambitious girl, whose faint sigh of envy sounded in the night.

There are so many famous people, why not have one more?
******
The crew in the snow is filming the Beiliang Army scenes today.

Kong Sheng watched Xin Yan arrange the positions of the extras, which was quite professional. He drank some wolfberry water from the thermos cup and nodded slightly.
"Xin Yan is good, but I heard he is not a professional?"

"I studied international economic law at the University of Political Science and Law, played in a band, and later switched to advertising."

"Very talented."

Kong Sheng's thermos cup was suspended in the air. He was stunned for a moment and said, "He is a talent."

If it wasn't a piece of uncut jade, Zhou Yutang wouldn't have spent so much effort to carve and cultivate it.

Xin Yan served as the executive director in the crew of "Snow".

But the specific work content is definitely beyond the scope of executive director.

From communicating with the producer to figuring out how to move the camera and the actors, to communicating with the photographer to determine the camera position and the lighting team.
He is a brick of the revolution, and will be moved wherever he is needed.

He has to go through the process for every detail that appears in and out of the camera.

Understand what problems the entire crew will encounter and how to solve them.

Even at the summary meeting, Zhou Yutang invited Kong Sheng to discuss things together, and some relatively unimportant literary scenes were also given to Xin Yin to practice.

“It’s almost ready for use.”

Kong Sheng spoke highly of Xin Yan, and Zhou Yutang also admired him highly.

As we were talking, the cell phone rang.

Chen Xi, who had just joined Zhang Yimou's crew, took the initiative to report on the filming situation of the crew there.

With the ability of the national teacher and his elite team, there is nothing to worry about.

Chen Xi mentioned something else: "Boss Zhou, I can't leave here. Boss Li and Director Jin will go to Busan in a few days."

“The Busan Film Festival is a good place to go.”

Zhou Yutang nodded and said, "I'm very familiar with Sister Shuang, so there won't be any problems."

Li Shuang volunteered to lead the team to South Korea, probably to find Pei Yun.

It's not just familiar, it's like returning to my own backyard.

Jin Yukun's "Silent Violence" is indeed a rare masterpiece.

This is only Director Kun's second feature film. It may be difficult for it to be accepted into the top three European festivals, but it would be good to release it at the Busan Film Festival to boost its reputation in the Asian region.

Zhou Yutang suddenly remembered that Yoona seemed to have said a few days ago that she was the host of this year's Busan Film Festival.

Mr. Kong was also quite interested in Zhang Yimou's Three Kingdoms-themed movie. When talking about the new film by Guo Shi, he also mentioned the Three Kingdoms-themed movie in Hong Kong that was launched almost at the same time.
"The film and television people in Hong Kong are still sensitive to the market and made a Three Kingdoms movie."

"If it were so easy, Wu Baige and Flying Saucer Hat would have been deified long ago. It's really difficult." Zhou Yutang said leisurely.

The news about the national master’s new film was ranked second on the hot searches, and below it was the hot search bought by the producers of “True Three”.

Boss Jiang is also a man who knows how to make some efforts. The script for "Cold War 3" has not come out yet, and he has some new ideas.

With the official authorization of "Dynasty III" from Koei Tecmo, the two met and hit it off with Bona. The epic historical film and television production of the same name adapted from the game is coming.

I have always been fascinated by the Three Kingdoms.

Wu Baige's "Red Cliff" did not perform well at the box office in China, but sold well in Japan. This summer's "The Advisors Alliance" also received a warm response on the Japanese website.

The Koei Tecmo brand is probably not unfamiliar to the majority of Chinese game players.

For example, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series, this year released "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13", which is quite playable.

As for the "Dynasty Warriors" series, once you open the game, you can feel the thrill of mowing the lawn, which is really addictive.

Even in China, there is a large base of game players.

Now that it has been adapted into a movie version, it immediately attracted widespread attention from movie fans.

Louis Koo played Lu Bu, and also spent money to invite Wang Kai, a popular young actor from Jiangdong, to play Cao Cao.

Tony Yang's Liu Bei, Michael Cheung's Zhang Fei, and Ray Lui's Yuan Shao are all acceptable.

The most exciting thing is that they invited the first generation of South Korean returnees Han Geng to play Guan Erye and Yang Ying to play Diao Chan
It is really difficult for Crouching Dragon to stay calm when he meets Phoenix Chick.

I just heard my good sister mention it while we were chatting on the phone a few days ago, that Boss Jiang originally wanted to invite her to play Diao Chan.

In terms of appearance, Nazha can definitely hold her own.

But after analyzing the situation, Nazha’s team decided to decline the big offer from Boss Jiang.

Speaking of Diao Chan, Diao Chan's video call came over.

Zhou Yutang picked up the phone casually, and the delicate and beautiful little face appeared on the phone screen.

An old hand like Kong Sheng has seen all kinds of scenes, so he just pretended not to see them.

I called my daughter over and asked her pretentiously, "I think the CG plan here can be adjusted a bit."

"Huh? No?"

Kong pigeon black man question mark face.

Her studio has now been incorporated into Noon Sunshine, and she is the head of the special effects department "Polar Park".

He took over part of the special effects orders for the "Snow" project outsourced by Vision Media, and looked puzzled: Dad, this CG plan was approved by the Grand Commander, are you sure you want to change it?

Hearing Kong Sheng cough twice, Kong Gezi glanced at him, reacted, and said seriously: "It must be changed."

At a quick glance, I happened to see Nazha, who was in love with you and me. Even as a woman, I felt amazed.

"Brother, did you miss me~~" "I just thought of you and you called me. Is this the legendary telepathy?"

"Hey, of course."

After a few words of coaxing, Nazha licked her red lips and smiled brightly.

The two of them cuddled together for a while, and she actually fell asleep leaning on her seat.

Nazha is now a top-tier actress in the 90s.

Tencent is striking while the iron is hot and plans to advance the broadcast date of "Fighter of the Destiny".

This has been tough for the Grand Commander's godsister Nazha, who has been busy catching up on the drama promotions recently, plus she has two movies to be released during the National Day holiday.

With business announcements and a full schedule, there is no one busier than her in the entire entertainment industry.

After Zhou Yutang sent a message to Nazha's assistant, Kong Sheng asked, "Mr. Zhou seems to have some opinions about Hong Kong filmmakers?"

"I wouldn't say I have any objection. I also grew up watching Hong Kong movies."

Zhou Yutang said with a smile: "When I first debuted, I didn't know anything. There was an older brother from Hong Kong who took me under his wing, and there was also Brother Hua, who are all very dedicated actors."

Ren Dahua, who plays the super fighter Tuoba Bodhisattva from the Northern Mang side, has recently joined the crew.

Don’t be fooled by his domineering performance in the drama, he is actually quite down-to-earth in real life.

"It is imperative that we develop ourselves."

Mr. Kong said with emotion: "I have dealt with many people in the Hong Kong film and television industry. In fact, some of them have always been good at grasping the market trend."

When domestic entertainment was just taking off, the Hong Kong film and television industry was still enjoying the afterglow of its golden age.

Basically, everyone looked up to them, and important resources were controlled by the Hong Kong circle. This continued until Zhou Yutang made his debut, which changed the situation.

"It's useless to be sensitive enough, because they can't make TV series and movies that mainland audiences want to watch."

Zhou Yutang sneered, "If you don't have enough ability to support your vision and ambition, your end is usually not good."

Just like the rise of short videos on the Internet now, everyone knows that they can make money by doing self-media, but they also have to have the ability to do so.

Most Hong Kong directors do not have this ability.

The director of "True 3", Chow Hin-yeung, is no exception.

Who is this guy?

A disciple of Li An and Jiang Zhiqiang, he was nominated for the Best New Director Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards upon his debut.

However, when Boss Jiang restarted the "Huang Feihong" series a few years ago, it was handed over to him, but the result was not satisfactory.

******
I originally thought that the National Day movie would be a battle between the two heroes "Sky Hunter" and "Youth" against the big shark of Jiangdong family.

As a result, "Youth" was not released and was suppressed, and the great shark had not yet swam across the East China Sea.

Instead, the unpromoted "Joker" was the first to hit the stage.

Many domestic film and television companies were shocked.

Not to mention the frequent good news from overseas box office, let’s just talk about the Chinese film market.

After the first weekend, entering the second working week, "Joker" still maintained an average box office growth of more than 2 million for two consecutive days.

In just four days, the Chinese market has broken the 1 billion mark.

Whether it's "Spider-Man: Homecoming" or "War for the Planet of the Apes", he tramples them all under his feet, with no one left to look down on him and his momentum is as high as a rainbow.

The domestic film and television industry, including Huayi, which wanted to become bigger and stronger, was collectively shocked.

Zhuo, foul, replay!
Zhou Yutang's box office appeal can be described as nuclear-level lethality.

The so-called vacuum and unpopular period between the summer vacation and the National Day vacation as rated by experts no longer exists.

A movie that was not widely promoted in China, relying entirely on the fans' votes, forcibly ignited the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies and even changed the entire National Day holiday season.

Wherever Zhou Yutang is, that’s the hot schedule!

Even Wang from Guangguang couldn't sit still and called over: "I heard that the cumulative box office in North America has exceeded 2.2 million US dollars?"

"Mr. Wang, your news is a bit delayed."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "The global box office for the first weekend was 4.482 million US dollars. The latest news is that it has exceeded million US dollars today."

So far, China alone has contributed nearly 200 million US dollars, word of mouth is still fermenting, and the box office potential has not yet been realized, so it can go further.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, why aren't you talking?"

"Warner Bros. wants a share of the profits overseas, right?" Wang Changtian's expression twitched slightly.

"We do have to split the bill."

"It's not bad if the other party takes the lion's share, after all, the profit is in US dollars."

After all, he was still envious, but Wang Changtian felt better. Zhou Yutang continued, "But Warner only has a 10% share. Mr. Wang, why did you hang up?"

"The signal in Beijing is not good, so let's not talk about it for now."

Wang Changtian was a bit autistic and didn't want to listen to Zhou Yutang's Versailles anymore, so he found an excuse to leave.

I am afraid that my brothers will suffer, and I am also afraid that my brothers will drive a Land Rover.

Zhou Yutang didn't drive a Land Rover, he rode a wave of somersault clouds to the Nantianmen
******
Zhou Yutang's phone has almost become a hotline these days.

I had just received a call from the retired old man Han, and Ren Zhonglun from the Shanghai Film Group came again.

He is originally from Ningbo, and this time he was just passing by his hometown and came to the crew to take a look.

"How's the progress here?"

“We’ll try to get it done next month.”

"Why don't you go to Hollywood for a road show?"

This is not a polite compliment, but a sincere comment from Ren Zhonglun: "It is incredible that this is the first foreign film to get such a box office."

"Forget it. I can't bear to sit on a plane for more than ten hours."

Zhou Yutang said in a joking tone: "People from across the country fly to China for the meeting."

This month I am airborne around the world, traveling north and south, and I really don’t want to take a plane anytime soon.

Just two words: willful.

Ren Zhonglun was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to recover.

A genius is someone who has the capital to be willful.

While sighing, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, frowning: "If we collide with The Meg, will both of us lose?"

Shanghai Film Group has a share of "The Meg".

Ren Zhonglun originally had high expectations for this.

After all, this movie was also produced by Zhou Yutang.

Who would have thought that there would be such a clown committing such a crime first?

"Don't worry, Director Ren, it'll only take half a month, which is enough to relieve the pressure on the box office."

Zhou Yutang said with a smile: "Moreover, the current box office depth of the Chinese film market can fully accommodate two blockbuster movies of different types."

"What you said makes sense."

Ren Zhonglun relaxed and talked about some trivial matters. Suddenly he remembered something and glanced at Zhou Yutang: "Did La Peikang call you? Zhou Xingxing is going to start "The Mermaid 2"."

"Boss La called."

Zhou Yutang said leisurely.

"What do you think?"

Ren Zhonglun instantly became interested.

The last time Xinghui Company and Jiangdong were the leaders, China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group joined forces for a rare time and performed on the same stage for two weeks. Before the release of Wolf Warrior 2, The Mermaid created the peak box office record for Chinese films.

Now that the sequel is about to hit the market, it is clear that this is going to be a heavyweight project and the box office is definitely expected to be good.

"Director Ren."

Zhou Yutang said seriously: "I have already replied to Mr. La. This time, Jiang Dong will not follow."

Even though La Peikang tried his best to keep him, saying that this game couldn't be played without Zhou Yutang, he could still sense the slight ecstasy that the leader of the martial arts world inadvertently revealed.

Compare "The Mermaid 2" to a sweet and delicious cake.

Jiang Dong's voluntary withdrawal meant that a large piece of it would fall into his mouth.

However, some things don’t need to be said too obviously, as long as both parties know the truth.
