China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 903: Dominating the National Day, this wave of packages is worth it

A business involving this amount of money is also a huge deal for Warner.

Therefore, after signing the preliminary letter of intent, there are still many details to be signed.

To this end, the legal teams on both sides have already had several rounds of private confrontations.

Finally, a condition that was relatively satisfactory to both parties was reached.

The boss, Brother Kevin, brought his team to China to meet Zhou Yutang in order to deepen the relationship while reaching a cooperation.

With a box office of 1 billion US dollars in ten days, it surpassed Nolan's.

The global box office is heading straight for 20 billion US dollars.

Gong Dou sat on the position of Warner's president, so Brother Kevin is naturally a smart man.

I felt that if I hesitated for one more second, it would be disrespectful to the deity in front of me.

In short: you have to hug this thigh!
After signing the contract, Kevin stood up, held Zhou Yutang's hand, and shook it vigorously: "Zhou, the first payment will be transferred tomorrow at the latest."

“You are very efficient.”

Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

"Pleasant to work with."

The Warner executives around him were so excited that they could not express it in words.

The beautiful Dilraba Dilmurat remained silent.

Just looking at the fawning faces of these foreigners feels a bit ridiculous.

Are you giving money to your brother?

They are all so happy.

Looking at Zhou Yutang again, he still looked calm and composed, but his heart was beginning to be moved.

"Zhou, the miracle we are creating now will soon be recorded in the history of world cinema."

"It won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, and with such box office success, this year's Oscars are also worth looking forward to."

"I think we can open a bottle of champagne to celebrate in advance."

Who says foreigners don’t understand the ways of the world? They always say auspicious words.

The flattery came like a tide, but Zhou Yutang had heard enough nice things during this period of time and had become immune to them.

“It’s not too late to open the champagne after success.”

"Yeah, you have a point."

Kevin spread his hands.

Zhou Yutang was in a very relaxed state, his fingers flexibly turning the signing pen, and he chuckled:
"Kevin, you will coordinate with Bob on Oscar's PR work when the time comes."

Warner's publicity director smiled and said, "Before we came, we had already negotiated with several powerful public relations companies. Bob will give you the specific plan when the time comes."

"Harvey?"

"No no no!"

Kevin shook his head repeatedly: "This guy can't control his pants and got into big trouble."

The Warner executives around him also revealed ambiguous smiles that all men understand.

After a pause, the Warner president looked like he had it all figured out. "It's Neon Pictures, and there are a few very professional PR companies."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart:
What are you laughing at? You did it yourself.

Bob, the old man, also has an insider in Warner and often chats with Zhou Yutang about some shitty gossip.

For example, the romantic stories of Kevin, a Japanese-American man.

This guy appears to be a righteous man on the surface, but in fact he has been using his position to flirt with women.

"However, we may need to ask you to come over to do some publicity when the time comes. This will be good for public relations."

"No problem, I'll cooperate."

Oscars public relations is a long and ongoing process.

It doesn't mean that the awards will be given out tomorrow, but we need to deal with the judges tonight.

The quality of the film is definitely an important factor.

In addition, the film company needs to carefully plan and organize various aspects such as publicity and promotion.

To ferment the film's reputation, increase its influence, and thus improve the film's competitiveness in the Oscar selection.

Therefore, various cocktail parties are organized every year.

Inviting Oscar judges, film industry professionals, media, etc. to communicate and exchange ideas is also a considerable expense, and now Warner is paying for it.

After a brief chat, Kevin stood up gracefully and nodded and smiled at Reba: "Beautiful lady, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's ok."

"Have a great night."

******
After only a brief appearance at the dinner, Zhou Yutang left with Reba.

On the way home, Dilireba, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, suddenly hugged Zhou Yutang's arm and shook it:
"Brother, I have a question for you."

"what happened?"

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Reba curiously asked: "Can this Joker make 100 million US dollars?"

"That's the price Warner paid to buy back the rights to the sequel."

Zhou Yutang patted Reba's beautiful legs and said, "If you only make 100 million US dollars, you might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes."

Hey, speaking of sweet potatoes, Zhou Yutang's mind automatically popped up Meng Ziyi's charming face that could either be happy or angry.
But Reba was completely unaware and was just shocked.

One hundred million, one hundred million, the unit is still “dollar”.

While they were chatting and laughing, the money flowed into my brother's pocket.

According to Zhou Yutang, this is just a side dish before the main meal, and the real benefits are yet to come.

It is said that it is easy to make money as a celebrity, and it is true that money comes quickly.

Reba works much harder than Nazha, so she was able to buy a house in Cuihu Tiandi on her own.

But the Zhou Yutang in front of her overturned her perception.

The starry sky atmosphere light on the roof shines on Reba’s exotic face.

The slightly open lips and the expression that revealed shock and admiration.

Zhou Yutang benefited greatly from all of them.

Looking at it from this angle, there is an urge to grasp it.

Then he kicked and hit a button underneath.

The automatic isolation board slowly descended, isolating the front and back into two worlds.
The elegance of Shanghai is always blown away by the wind and rain.

Tonight's game is as intense as the one between Shenhua and SIPG.

When substitute player Nazha arrived on the field, Zhou Yutang had already scored a goal.

Zhou Yutang, who finally completed the hat trick, patted his butt.

We set off back to Xiangshan early in the morning.

The land of gentleness is the grave of heroes, and women will only affect him to speed up the progress of filming.

I don't know if "Sky Hunter" and "The Foreigner" intend to temporarily avoid the limelight and schedule their premieres for tomorrow.

Although he did not attend the premiere yesterday, Wanda's Ye Ning and Jackie Chan both politely sent Zhou Yutang an invitation.

Anyway, the attitude is right, so just give it a try whether there is any result or not.

If you don’t come, you won’t lose anything. If you come, you will definitely make money.

Of course, Zhou Yutang would never do anything to aid the enemy by bringing traffic to the opponent.

He simply declined on the grounds that the crew was too busy filming.

It was Wang from Guangguang who was sensible. He held the premiere of "Sewing Machine Band" one day in advance.

Nazha was in Beijing the day before yesterday and flew to Shanghai yesterday.

Today is also the roadshow schedule in Shanghai, to support "Sewing Machine Band".

All the subsequent schedules were given to "The Meg".

After all, the director and Guo Da are not locals, so they designated several major cities in the country for promotion.

The heavy burden of promotion in the Chinese mainland basically falls on Nazha's shoulders.

"Wow, Sister Naza, you look so good today."

The assistant praised Nazha sincerely as she stepped into the car wearing a bright tank top and denim shorts and a pair of white sneakers.

I feel like every strand of my hair is filled with happiness and beauty.

"Haha, yes."

"She is totally different from the haggard state she was in a few days ago. Now she is like a fairy descending from heaven."

This sounds a bit corny, and most people may not be able to stand it, but Nazha, who is beautiful and self-aware, just falls for it.

I got into the business car listening to the flattery and looked in the mirror with a sweet feeling in my heart.

"Sister, do you want breakfast? I have sandwiches and yogurt."

The assistant, who was basically like a nanny, handed over the breakfast she had prepared in advance like she was presenting a treasure.

Nazha took the breakfast, couldn't help licking her lips, and handed the yogurt back: "You eat it, I can't eat it."

"Sis, following you, I've gained more than ten pounds."

The assistant kept complaining, but he honestly took the yogurt.

Being an assistant to a female star basically involves the risk of passively gaining weight.

In order to maintain their figure, female celebrities usually only take a few bites of any delicious food, and the rest is eaten by the people around them.

Along the way, I heard the assistant talking about today's schedule, while Nazha and Reba were chatting. I don't know if it was a psychological effect.

Every time I spend time with Zhou Yutang.

There is a relaxing feeling as if the usual work pressure has been released.

I asked Reba privately and it was a similar situation, except that she drank a little more water every other day.

Beijiang Shuangshu conducted extensive practical research on this and finally came to the conclusion:
The ancients said that the combination of yin and yang can achieve a state of great harmony in cosmic life.

My brother is probably the tonic medicine that can be compared to the forbidden zone of life.

Not to say it’s as exaggerated as letting the emperor live a second life, but they feel that their skin has really improved.

Inexplicably, he became the commander-in-chief of the immortal medicine and returned to his loyal crew.

Nazha’s “Fighter of the Destiny” has been on the air for some time, and the TV and Internet ratings have been growing steadily.

Tencent and Jiangdong have increased their subsequent publicity efforts.

The internet is full of news about this TV series, and the leading actors have appeared on several variety shows, helping to keep the popularity of "Fighter of the Destiny" growing.

However, just as it was gradually showing its prowess and gradually sweeping the entire film and television industry.

Before National Day, a TV series emerged as a dark horse.

Sun Li, who had just appeared at the premiere in Shanghai, called Nazha "good sister" but turned around and beat Nazha down.

"Nothing Gold Can Stay" directed by Ding Hei breaks through the shackles of the heavy tone of previous costume dramas set in domestic households.

Since it hit the television screen, the ratings have been unstoppable, even suppressing the rising momentum of Jiang Dong's "Fighter of the Destiny".

I can only say that audience appeal is a bit mysterious.

The double top-tier configuration of Lu Han and Nazha couldn't beat Deng Chao and his wife.

It’s not that the friendly forces are not strong enough, it’s just that the enemy is a bit overpowered.

After only three days on the air, the average viewership ratings for Jiangsu Satellite TV and Anhui Satellite TV soared to over 1.2.

Everyone in the film and television industry is paying attention, as another hit drama is about to hit the market.

"It's a bargain for the Kiwi family."

Jiang Xuehui, director of the TV drama department, apologized to the commander-in-chief with some regret.

This drama was originally in contact with Bilibili.

Later, I considered that I couldn’t make it with my own TV series schedule.

They also failed to reach an agreement with the behind-the-scenes producer, China Television Entertainment, and were eventually successfully intercepted and stolen by Kiwi Productions.

The kiwi fruit has now completely stood up. It fought one against two and suppressed Jiangdong and Goose Factory, and became famous instantly.

"Basically, the broadcast expectations have been met. How can you have all the good things in the world?"

Zhou Yutang smiled warmly and said comfortingly: "It's a pity to miss it, but it won't have much impact on the overall situation."

The pattern of domestic video platforms has been determined.

Zhang Huli indulged in pleasure and had no ambition to make progress, so Sohu has fallen behind.

Only a few giants such as Bilibili, Tencent, Chinese Internet giant QQ, and Youku remain standing.

Currently, several video platforms are developing their own dramas.

Among them, Bilibili is backed by the Jiangdong label, and has half of its own Chinese drama brand, Noon Sunshine.

In terms of blood transfusion capacity, it undoubtedly leads the field.

The long-term output of high-quality TV dramas has instilled in the audience the concept that B station dramas = high-quality.

However, the behind-the-scenes producer of this drama, China Television Entertainment, made a fortune, and all the film and television companies in the industry, big and small, were envious.

This entertainment company received investment from China Culture Fund in its A round.

With the support of powerful financial groups such as Wanda Group, New Horizon Capital, Yuanchuang Investment, and Hillhouse Capital, it is a force in the entertainment industry that cannot be underestimated.

It was at this time that Huace Entertainment took advantage of this popularity and joined forces with China Film, Yaolai, and Juhe to hold a press conference in Beijing.

“Jiang Nan’s Shanghai Fortress is undoubtedly an excellent work. We have been preparing for it for six years and have done a lot of hard work behind the scenes. It is finally coming to fruition.”

Zhao Yi, the CEO of Huasheng Entertainment, and La Peikang, the head of China Film Group, released a bomb that was enough to shake the entire film and television industry.

At the press conference, Zhao Yi was determined to make the company bigger and stronger. When facing the reporter's questions, she was very sharp: "You asked me if I knew that Mr. Zhou from Jiangdong was preparing for "The Wandering Earth". I definitely know. I am a fan of Mr. Zhou and I admire his achievements.

But I have full confidence in myself.

This time, working together with Mr. La, Mr. Song, Director Teng and others, we are all very optimistic about the prospects of this project.

"Nothing Gold Can Stay" can suppress "Fighter of the Destiny", and "Shanghai Fortress" is not afraid of competing head-on with "The Wandering Earth."

"It's crazy!"

Sister Meng was filled with righteous indignation and handed over the phone.

Zhou Yutang's attention was first attracted by the raging waves.

Then I casually browsed the news online.

"Adapted from Jiangnan's science fiction novel, jointly produced by China Film, Huasheng Entertainment, Alibaba Pictures, Juhe, and Yaolai, directed by Teng Wentao, and starring Wu Yifan, Shu Qi and others, the science fiction blockbuster "Shanghai Fortress" of the same name held a press conference in Beijing!"

“It took several years and a total investment of over 400 million. We hired the world’s top special effects team Bottleship VFX Ltd to handle the special effects plan.”

"La Peikang, Chairman of China Film Group Corporation, is full of confidence. Teng Wentao intends to create a successful start for domestic science fiction blockbusters. I look forward to competing with Director Zhou Yutang on the same stage!"

"Shanghai Fortress VS The Wandering Earth, who is the flagship of Chinese science fiction?"

I have to say, it was quite lively.

Several giants led by La Peikang lined up in a row, which was quite impactful.

The producer is Jingcheng Culture Holdings, and the actual operator behind the scenes is the man behind Wu Ershan, Wanda rebel Song Ge.

The crew is proceeding with the filming in an orderly manner. The film will be released on July 2th, and the release key of "Wolf Warrior " has been extended to October th.

At this time, the box office in China has reached 60.82 billion, which has basically exhausted its potential and can no longer be reduced.

The box office of China's domestic films has been forced to 6 billion, which can be said to have reached the upper limit of China's current box office.

Apart from the unrivalled "Wolf Warrior 2", "Joker" is also making great strides, having crossed the billion threshold before the National Day.

However, the subsequent screening schedule has been slightly affected and has to give way to a number of great films during the National Day holiday.

During the crew's lunch break, Zhou Yutang received a call from Tong Gang, "Director Tong, how come you have time to call me?"

"There is a situation that I need to inform you of."

"You say."

“The bureau fully recognizes the value of the work ‘Joker’ in artistic exploration, but the bureau has recently held a meeting to discuss it.

The guidance on schedule management places special emphasis on balancing social benefits and industry norms.
Considering that this film has already achieved reasonable market returns, some forms of artistic presentation may require a more thorough social impact evaluation cycle.

Tong Gang was talking about the secret key to the extension of "Joker".

The leader speaks neither too fast nor too slow and is very considerate of people's emotions.

Zhou Yutang summarized the key points, which can be summed up in eight words:

"Consider the overall situation and pay attention to the impact."

This movie is not a complete version, but it can be shown in China, which is a great blessing from God.

As for the extension key, there is no need to think about it.

Zhou Yutang was mentally prepared for this and did not take advantage of the situation.

When the movie is fully completed, we will make a director's cut and put it on the international version of Bilibili.

Wouldn’t it be great to expand the membership business?
******
The press releases on the Internet were overwhelming and overwhelming.

Da Hei Niu’s roadshow promotion must be linked to Wu Jing, saying that he once imitated Liu Huangshu.

They went to Wu Jing's house three times to invite him to act, but were rejected, so the fragile Big Black Bull cried behind closed doors three times.

His purpose is very clear. Using this to anchor "Wolf Warrior 2" is equivalent to raising the profile of "Sky Hunter".

Zhou Yutang saw the news about Xu Guangtou beating someone.

"Shang K drank a lot of wine. I heard that he was being chased by paparazzi and took pictures of him. He got a little drunk and did it."

Ning Hao knew a lot of the inside story: "The bald guy is a little bit confused now."

Journalists who are involved in the entertainment industry sometimes deliberately create topics for the sake of traffic.

But this guy Xu Guangtou, now that he is at the table of capital, his mentality is different from before.

The two sides are still arguing, but he is the one who suffers the most in the end.

After all, celebrities are public figures, and once they get drunk and beat someone up, there will be some negative consequences.

On the 30th, several news reports about the movies scheduled for the National Day dominated the headlines of the film and television pages.
[The Meg grossed 1.38 million yuan in a single day, sweeping the National Day box office, and the top-tier actress born in the s crushed the box office to the top! ]

[Sky Hunter crashed after takeoff, earning only 3260 million at the box office. Director Li Cheng's ability was questioned, and it lost to Dong Xiaopeng's new comedy Sewing Machine Band, which earned 6830 million! ]

[The National Day movie season is fiercely contested, with the market breaking through 400 million on the eve of the holiday! The Great Shark is coming, and the Joker is full of stamina, who will dominate the National Day movie season? ! ]

【.】

After glancing at the news reports, many people online were shocked.

These movies compete head-on, so it is not surprising that "The Meg" came out on top.

The promotion started several months in advance, and more than 100 million yuan was spent on marketing alone, with the aim of making Nazha an international star.

Wang Changtian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the performance of "Sewing Machine Band" exceeded expectations.

Although Dong Xiaopeng has a bad reputation, some viewers don't buy his account.

However, they adjusted their marketing strategy in time later on, starting with marketing based on Nazha’s beauty on social media, and then leveraging the momentum of Fighter of the Destiny to successfully generate popularity.

Sao Rui, who is Dong Xiaopeng?
Many lsp are very real.

His eyes were firmly attracted by Ding Jianguo's long, slender and white legs.

Go into the cinema with a critical purpose.

19 yuan for a movie ticket, the price of a cup of milk tea, this package is worth it
