China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 901: Climbing the long steps of the Conferred Gods, setting off the whole crowd

"After ten days of release, Joker has grossed a cumulative $3.49 million in North America, topping the North American weekend box office chart for two consecutive weeks!"

"So far, the total global box office has accumulated over 1 billion US dollars, and the final box office is expected to be adjusted upward again!"

"According to Forbes statistics, Joker has broken many records for comic book movies and will become the most profitable comic book movie in history!"

All of a sudden, the entire film and television industry turned their attention to this.

Breaking one billion US dollars in ten days!
Zhou Yutang's base in China contributed 18.35 billion yuan in box office revenue.

There is also Shi Lezhi, a naval officer from Jiangdong, who said that the commander-in-chief is better than everyone else and will surely defeat Wolf Warrior 2.

In fact, there is a big gap between the two.

Despite the limited subject matter, the daily box office revenue of "Joker" at this time still exceeded 100 million yuan, but it was the result of many Jiangdong Navy Masters watching it twice or even three times.

Leng Feng, which also opened for ten days, continued to see its box office decline, earning 400 million on the first day and 3 billion the next day.

There are some bored people on the Internet who compared these two movies and found out that they were all projects managed by Zhou Yutang.
What's the point of comparing?

All the money was taken away by the Grand Commander!
Just this box office result is enough to make people numb with envy.

It was widely rumored that Zhou Yutang, who had climbed the long steps to the gods, went to Shanghai again from Xiangshan.

"This is not a conventional superhero movie or an art film. In many ways, it is impeccable. It must be very difficult to get this box office, and it is also admirable. I think it is Mr. Zhou's personal appeal that played a key role in this."

I was scrolling through Douyin on the road, and after Jiang Wen’s “awesome” evaluation in public, I saw a video of Chen Shishi being interviewed.

It is estimated that only his boss can make the arrogant poet Chen lower his proud head.

Chen Duling deeply agreed with the second half of poet Chen's sentence.

It is undeniable that "Joker" is an excellent movie.

But if Zhou Yutang was not in charge, the influence would be at least one level lower.

As Jiangdong Entertainment grows bigger, Zhou Yutang's influence around the world is also becoming increasingly profound.

He has too many cards to play.

On the one hand, Warner has increased its investment in subsequent publicity and promotion.

Another aspect is the influence of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Liverpool FC in the field of gaming and sports.

The most important thing is the short video platform.

TikTok has exploded since its integration with Musical.ly, and became one of the world's top social platforms last year.

By this year, the total user scale has exceeded 8 million.

Foreign social media leaders such as Twitter, Instagram and YouTube are all confused!
In fact, TikTok’s rapid rise has long aroused the vigilance of leading foreign social media companies.

There are many smart people in the world who can see future trends clearly. Short videos have already appeared in the United States.

Foreign social media leaders are also busy deploying their own competitive software, and there have been various blockades and interceptions during the process, which are thrilling and exciting and cannot be described to outsiders.

However, TikTok ultimately stood at the forefront of the times.

One step straight up to the ninth heaven.

Foreigners have not yet realized how terrifying the information cocoon that precise algorithms have subtly woven for them is.

During this period of time, all the streaming was about "Joker".

The viral spread of the movie has undoubtedly had a positive impact on the movie box office.

After all, individuals in a group will always lose their rationality, and are easily infected by emotions and blindly follow the collective will.

It has so many likes and everyone says it is good, so it must be really good. If you don’t watch it, you will seem out of date.

Chen Duling was thinking about a lot of things and didn't notice that her eyes stayed on Zhou Yutang for a little too long.

Beautiful women are always very sensitive to the gazes that are cast upon them, and the same is true for handsome men.

"Is there something on my face?"

"Oh, nothing."

After being woken up by the boss, Chen Duling began to organize the contract documents as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Yutang sunk deeply into the leather seat and casually placed his long legs on the footstool.

He really enjoys the experience of filming and also enjoys the feeling of taking a break from his busy schedule.

He lazily glanced at Chen Duling, who was sitting obediently with her back straight, and wanted to tease her.
"You can take your time with your work, and relax when you go out to play."

"How to relax?"

"It seems like you won't get angry. Try making a fiercer expression?"

"Whoa!"

Chen Duling cooperated by putting down the pen in her hand and trying hard to make a ferocious expression.

On the surface, she looks quite cool and aloof, but in private, she is quite abstract.

But combined with her face, it has no lethality at all.

Instead, it looks like a rabbit that is so cute that it can drain people's blood tank.

Compared to the unpopular "Joker", "The Meg" is a Hollywood A-level production with a cost budget of $1.5 million.

It is undoubtedly the most anticipated movie during the entire National Day holiday.

The premiere was scheduled to be held in Shanghai, the economic center of China, and also attracted media from all over the world.

It was Wang Rongran's first time to attend such a grand occasion.

Logically speaking, after appearing on the variety show "Actors", she is no longer an unknown person.

She was labeled as a hot young star in the industry and attracted a wave of fans who bought her shares in advance.

But as it was his first time attending such an event, Wang Rongran couldn't help but feel excited and nervous.

It turns out that not everyone can get an invitation to Jiang Dong’s premiere.

She just posted a little bit about it on her Moments, and ended up receiving a lot of envious likes from her friends.

It did satisfy the girl's vanity.

Apart from being an ordinary student, Wang Rongran has now stepped half a foot into society.

She was imagining her stunning appearance at the premiere tomorrow, and her heart was filled with excitement. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

I checked Zhou Yutang’s circle of friends again.

Ever since the last variety show with Zhou Yutang’s green bubble, I’ve opened it to watch every few days.

Zhou Yutang’s social media accounts, including Weibo, Douyin, Instagram, etc., are all operated by the team around him.

But according to Wang Rongran's observation, the Moments basically contain his own updates on his daily life.

The last circle of friends post was in the beginning of this month.

The photo was taken in Venice, probably backstage at the film festival, with Joaquin Phoenix, the star of "Joker", holding the trophy.

The whole person seems to be glowing.

Wang Rongran’s like was mixed in with the vast number of likes.

It is just like a small wave in the ocean, inconspicuous.

At that time, she was in the crew of "Snow".

Honestly.

When Wang Rongran received a sudden notice from Zhou Shufang to join the group in the snow, he felt like a pie in the sky had fallen and he was stunned.

Even if this role only has a few shots.

But she remembered Zhou Shufang said that there might be a solo spin-off film project in the future.

Zhou Shufang: The Grand Commander’s kindness is not over yet.

Such a big pie is not worth it for a new girl who just debuted.

Even the top actress in the circle would never be able to refuse.

Jiangdong Entertainment’s film and television projects have now become extremely popular.

Just look at Guli Nazha and you will know that in just a few years, she has become extremely popular and is now a true international star.

Snapped!
Turning on the bedside lamp, Wang Rongran turned over and got up.

I tried on several little skirts in my closet, but none of them seemed dignified enough.

After hesitating for a while, he still called Zhou Shufang.

She is actually not used to bothering others late at night.

But Wang Rongran has an inexplicable dependence and trust in Sister Fang, who brought her to her debut.

Zhou Shufang is a player similar to Sister Hua, focusing on service and emotional value.
"Hello, why are you still awake so late? It's not good for your skin. There's a premiere tomorrow."

"Um, Sister Fang, should I wear a dress for the premiere tomorrow?"

"Silly boy, the protagonist tomorrow is Naza, just go over there."

Zhou Shufang smiled dotingly and said, "I'll take you to meet some seniors in the circle."

"Oh."

Wang Rongran nodded, feeling a little disappointed.

Hang up the fairy dress that is pure yet slightly sexy and can attract men.

Her mother opened a clothing store, and she has some ideas of her own when it comes to dressing.

Zhou Shufang continued to instruct: "Mr. Zhou will be here tomorrow, remember to be sweet when you go over to greet him."

"Thank you, Sister Fang. I understand."

Wang Ran paused and took out the fairy dress from the old one. He compared it with his own body.

Nazha had just finished a roadshow in Beijing and then flew directly to Shanghai.

I only slept for four hours. I took an interview in the morning and finished my makeup in the afternoon.

A black couture dress embellished with hand-sewn diamond-shaped sequins.

The waist is narrowed and cut into a fishtail curve. The magic of the hip pad makes the waist-to-hip ratio extremely eye-catching.

The slightly exposed skin is whiter than snow and radiant with beauty.

Reba's dress is much more casual.

After all, today is my good sister's home court, and there is no reason to steal her limelight.

"When will my brother arrive?"

"Just sent me a message saying he's on the way and will be here soon."

"Keep an eye on those slutty bitches tonight."

Nazha put her slender palms together and made a powerful slashing gesture. "Got it, the same old rules."

Dilireba understood and nodded.

Tianxian is still in the Xiangshan crew, and Yijie is eating zheergen in Guizhou.

The two burning foxes that she feared the most did not come either.

The rest are not worth mentioning!
Let me ask you, in this entertainment industry, who can withstand the joint attack of the Northern Frontier sisters?
Soon it was evening, and these two beauties from the northern border stood together, showing off their sisterhood.

It instantly killed countless films and was undoubtedly the most eye-catching scenery at the premiere.

"Yeah, there are so many people."

Wang Rongran came to the scene with Zhou Shufang.

She seldom wore high heels, and when she got out of the car, lifting her skirt, she was startled by the scene today and almost sprained her ankle.

He talks and laughs with the top celebrities and has no dealings with obscure people.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s an awards ceremony.

"Afang, you're here."

Huo Wenxi, the strong woman of Yinghuang, spotted Zhou Shufang at a glance and came over with the artists under Emperor Entertainment Group to say hello.

"Mani, this is Zhuran."

Zhou Shufang took the initiative to introduce: "Please take care of me in the future."

"Hello, Sister Mani." Wang Rongran said obediently.

"Afang, you must be taking good care of the people you bring. You are such a pretty girl. I've seen your variety show. You are very talented."

Huo Wenxi took a few glances at her and found that she was indeed a bright and beautiful woman with a perfect figure.

As his mind thought of a rather outrageous scandal from some time ago, the smile on his face became even more friendly.

The Deng Chao couple settled in Shanghai, and the network king Huang Jiaozhu brought his wife Qin Lan
Several top celebrities in the circle came over to greet Zhou Shufang.

Looking around, there are really first-tier stars and big names everywhere, while second-tier stars are worse than dogs.

As for Wang Rongran, he is at most a nobody.

I kept greeting Zhou Shufang, and her smiling face was almost frozen.

At this time, I just felt a little pain in my feet wearing high heels, but fortunately I was hungry.

This was also the secret passed down to her by her assistant, who said that when celebrities attend such important occasions in the circle, they don't eat on the same day.

At most I would drink some milk and eat a few bites of salad to get by.

Wang Rongran foolishly did as he was told.

Only after I arrived did I realize that I had been starving in vain.

Even if she wore the most beautiful dress and dressed up beautifully, she was destined to be just an insignificant little character.

Those people's praises are not from the heart.

But it was because of Zhou Shufang who was beside her.

Only then did Wang Rongran realize that Sister Fang, who was so friendly to others, was so impressive.

People in the circle often say that the yin is stronger than the yang in Jiangdong, and in fact it is true.

Apart from the Grand Commander, Jiangdong's second-in-command Li Shuang, Chen Xi of Dongwu Pictures, Jiang Xuehuan who is in charge of Jiangdong's TV drama business, and Zhou Shufang and Yang Tianzhen of the artist department are all women.

"Sister Fang, you are so awesome."

After chatting with a strong woman with good temperament, Wang Rongran couldn't help but express his admiration to Zhou Shufang and asked curiously,
"Who was that just now?"

"Cehua's eldest princess Fu Bingxin."

The slight trace of acting was well concealed by the girl's innocent look. Zhou Shufang glanced at her and explained to her with a smile.

Zhao Yifang, CEO of Cehua, is a strong woman who managed to take the company public and is one of the top 100 Chinese business women on the Forbes list.

Cehua has been deeply involved in the drama circle and has been making continuous moves in recent years, becoming bigger and bigger, and even has influence in South Korea.

Compared to Nazha, the focus of tonight, Wang Rongran, who followed Zhou Shufang to greet his seniors, was truly eye-opening.

In addition to Cehua mother and daughter, senior executives from various film and television companies such as Li Xiaoping of Guangxian, Wanda, Ruyi, Ciwen, and Fosun were all present.

Because Ren Zhonglun had announced in advance that Zhou Yutang would attend the premiere.

Although Nazha and Reba are stunning, the center of everyone's attention is only that one person.

When the black business car stopped, Zhou Yutang walked onto the red carpet and waved to everyone around him.

The scene instantly became like cold water poured into a boiling oil pan, exploding with screams and shouts like a tsunami.

The spotlights at the scene suddenly lit up, and countless guns and cannons were aimed at the Grand Commander of Jiangdong from different directions.

Almost everyone looked over.

Local media reporters have long been accustomed to it.

They were certainly excited, but seeing their foreign colleagues with their mouths wide open, as if they could fit a goose egg in, they felt a little superior:

Xiang Wuning has never seen the world.

This is the style of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong whenever he appears in public.

How could foreigners not have seen the world?

There are many fanatical scenes created by fans of foreign superstars.

But the halo of the world's super-rich man and other prestigious titles bestowed on one person made Zhou Yutang at this time as dazzling as the sun.

Any Hollywood star would be eclipsed.

This is the first time Zhou Yutang has appeared in public since the Venice Film Festival and the global release of Joker, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of fans.

Even the foreign media reporters were a little shocked, and they moved forward more courageously, even raising their hands and armpits, and secretly using biological and chemical weapons.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think of the global box office success of Joker?"

"Mr. Zhou, how is the filming progress of "In the Snow"?"

“How much do you expect Joker to make in the final box office?”

Media reporters came up to interview one after another, and all they asked about was "Joker". Occasionally a few of them also asked about the filming of the sequel to "Snow", which somewhat distracted from the main topic.

After briefly answering a few questions, Zhou Yutang got rid of the media.

Ren Zhonglun, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, and La Peikang were the first to come forward and said, "Yu Tang, you are finally here."

We met on the set of "Snow" a few days ago.

Today is Ren Zhonglun's home game.

The reason why the premiere was not held in Beijing was mainly due to Zhou Yutang's schedule.

After all, it takes more than ten hours to get back to Beijing from Xiangshan, so it is much more convenient to go to Shanghai.

"Please excuse me, Mr. Lao."

"No, I just came to Shanghai to do something."

La Peikang also had a warm smile on his face.

The media reporters nearby seized the opportunity and almost pressed the shutter button to record the scene of the two chairmen of China Film and Shanghai Film chatting and greeting Zhou Yutang.

Chatting and laughing, he was immediately hugged by international friend Jason Statham, who showed his big white teeth and said, "Zhou, you are such a genius. I love Joker so much. I have watched it three times!"

As the leading actor of the film, it was impossible for Jason Statham to miss the premiere.

"Jason, thank you for your contribution to the box office."

"You can call me Guoda."

Jason Statham smiled so innocently that Zhou Yutang almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Walter, even foreigners know this joke?
"Naza told me that this is the nickname given to me by Chinese fans."

Jason Statham shrugged: "I love it."

In addition to Jason Statham, it also includes director Jordyn Turbot and Warner's CEO Kevin Feige.

and Toby, who is in charge of Warner Pictures operations.

A very friendly, middle-aged, fat white man with great abilities, was chatting and laughing with his old friend Bob.

In addition, there is the gold medal producer Barry, who also made "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Great Gatsby".

All staff were present and everyone was smiling.

There's really no reason to be unhappy.

Warner shares had been rising since the release of Joker, just before the last trading day.

Warner officially announced the launch of the Joker 2 project.

It is preparing to make it into a classic movie series similar to the "Batman" series, and its stock price rose by as much as 8.7% that day.

"Kevin, welcome to the Celestial Empire."

After greeting everyone one by one, Zhou Yutang paid tribute to the palace fighting champion.

The buyback contract is kept confidential and the amount involved is not a small sum.

After Zhao Fang flew to Hollywood and gave a detailed work report, he received unanimous praise from senior management at the headquarters.

To show respect, the Palace Fighting Champion decided to attend the premiere of Tianchao in person.

Even Warner's legal department was brought along to sign a contract with Zhou Yutang.

"Zhou, congratulations, you have created an incredible miracle."

Kevin laughed and said, "Just like Nolan, you are now a top Hollywood director."

"Kevin, I should be the one congratulating you. Not everyone has the courage to make the decision to repurchase the shares."

"I think Arthur deserves it."

The two men shook hands and hugged each other, and some business compliments were inevitable.

Warner took the opportunity to hype up the film and regained the rights to the sequel, including the current multi-channel back-end sales of "Joker". It was a huge win.

In addition to making a small profit from milk powder, Zhou Yutang also instructed Liang Wenfeng to operate a quantitative fund to take advantage of the opportunity to reap a wave of profits, thus hiding his merits and fame.

Two people with ulterior motives.

Looking at each other and smiling, everything goes without saying anything.
