China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 910: Exploding Box Office Records! Royal Authority Exclusive Double Row!

The power of the Spirit Bomb is very strong.

A few days before the film was about to be released, the box office miraculously reversed its decline again.

The final box office figure was set at 40.05 billion, setting an art film box office record that is almost impossible to break.

"According to The Hollywood Reporter, Joker has grossed $5.35 million in North America, aiming for an Oscar!"

"South Korean media reported that Joker created the highest number of moviegoers in South Korea that year, and also set the highest record for foreign films in Japan!"

"It was a huge hit overseas and the Chinese mainland's Joker had a perfect ending. The cumulative global box office has exceeded 1.9 billion, and it is expected to break the global box office record held by Star Wars!"

"."

The value of the innate public opinion holy body is still increasing, and the news about Zhou Yutang is firmly hanging in the most conspicuous position in the film and television information section.

On the crew side, a group of people gathered together to gossip and chat.

Teacher Fan, who had just joined the group, joined in without any airs.

She brought her own travel expenses to join the crew this time, and also specially gave a bunch of Fan Meili cosmetics brand facial masks to the female staff of the crew.

When it comes to social etiquette, Teacher Fan has it just right.

At this point, the focus of the conversation was naturally the astonishing box office of "Joker".

"How high do you think we can reach in the end?"

"Oh my god, I haven't watched it for a few days, and it's almost $2 billion. It's so explosive."

Lanlan's expression was a little exaggerated, but Teacher Fan was very pleased to hear it. He smiled and said, "The ticketing of some national theaters is not connected to our system. This is not real-time data. I feel that we can go further."

"The Governor is awesome!"

Everyone bowed in unison.

If I hadn’t seen the overseas box office data updated on the Maoyan app with my own eyes.

If the average person had not watched a movie more than three times, no one would believe that movies directed by Chinese directors could dominate the global film market.

"Xiao Lin, where is Meng Ziyi?"

Teacher Fan glanced at her and asked casually, "Why didn't you see her?"

"Sister Meng has an announcement."

The female makeup artist from the crew replied, "It seems like he went to participate in "The Birth of an Actor."

"Oh, really?" Teacher Fan said lightly.

"Teacher Fan."

The female makeup artist was quite curious: "What do you want to talk to Sister Meng about?"

"Why do you all call her Sister Meng?"

"Mr. Zhou always calls me that. We're all used to it."

Another stylist laughed.

"Actually, it's nothing."

Teacher Fan raised her eyebrows slightly, her face expressionless: "I've watched Ziyi's variety show, and I feel that she has a very good personality. I wanted to get to know her first, maybe we can have a chance to work together in the future."

"Sister Meng does have a good personality."

Listening to everyone laughing, Teacher Fan felt it was a pity.

She had set her sights on Meng Ziyi before she joined the group.

There's nothing else to say, just look at Sister Meng's appearance, she looks like a green tea type.

People say that she is a bit like Nazha, the girl that Teacher Fan is most worried about.

Teacher Fan started to think about it.

After studying it again privately, it seems to be true.

There have been reports in the past that the governor of Jiangdong was attracted by the little junior sister he met at the film academy and personally signed her into Jiangdong.

With the recent success and the soaring share price of Bingtang CP, Mr. Fan is a little overwhelmed.

Of course I don't have the courage to hit Liu Tianxian.

Even if she had more courage, she would not dare to provoke Tianxian and Yijie.

But by controlling one or two green tea girls around Zhou Yutang and establishing his own prestige, Teacher Fan felt that he had it in hand.

It’s a pity that the little vixen’s positioning is a bit good. She happened to take a week off to catch up with the announcement.

When she comes back, we probably won't be able to meet each other, because Teacher Fan doesn't have many roles in the sequel to "Snow" and is only given five days of schedule.

Teacher Fan was sighing and lamenting that his palace fighting and dragon-slaying skills were useless.

"Mr. Zhou is here!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and the eyes of everyone, including Teacher Fan, were all focused on Zhou Yutang, who was walking there like a star surrounded by stars.

"Mr. Zhou."

Lan Lan said sweetly: "Congratulations! Joker is about to hit $2 billion."

"Mr. Zhou, congratulations."

"Haha, thank you everyone, I'll treat you all to a midnight snack tonight."

Obviously, there is no difference from before, Governor Zhou is still as down-to-earth as before.

But Teacher Fan always felt that the respect in everyone's eyes when they looked at him was getting deeper and deeper.

This is a figure who has dominated the global box office charts in film history.

He is also my man, just handsome!

It wasn't just Teacher Fan who was a little infatuated with her, even Meng Ziyi felt very proud.

Even she herself doesn't understand why she is so concerned about the box office of this movie.

The question is, the good teammates in the double row are making plans and sweeping the world, and Sister Meng is very proud.

After recording the variety show "Actors", Meng Ziyi, who did not offend anyone, sneezed.

Assistant Meng Meng was a little nervous: "Sister Meng, don't catch a cold."

"That's not true."

Meng Ziyi asked: "Mengmeng, why do you feel uneasy lately?"

She is now considered a second-tier star, and it is impossible for her to stay in the crew and slack off all day.

The ads that needed to be filmed still needed to be filmed, and the notices that needed to be run were also indispensable. The Grand Commander spent a huge amount of money to buy land and build a manor, and Sister Meng also contributed to it.
After finishing recording the variety show here, he rushed to the airport without stopping because he had another variety show to be on at Mango TV.

Mengmeng is Meng Ziyi's assistant and a retired player in the entertainment industry like Ji Rujin who is beside Tang Yan.

Without making a name for himself, he turned around and brought his talent to the Jiangdong Artist Management Department.

When all else fails, there are always other ways to succeed. He was able to become a small leader, responsible for all of Meng Ziyi's agency affairs.

Meng Meng glanced at Meng Ziyi and suddenly asked, "Were you caught by the fairy for having sex with the Grand Commander in the car?"

"??"

Meng Ziyi tilted her head, question marks appeared on her face, and said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about, I was playing games, the boss gave me permission, okay."

Ah yes, yes, yes, imperial permission, double rows on the bus.

"Do you have to take off your stockings to play games in the car?"

"It's uncomfortable to wear, and it affects your performance."

Sister Meng explained with a blushing face.

Meng Meng nodded like a chick pecking at rice, as if she was determined to join the party: "I believe it."

"You do not believe?"

"I really believe it, Sister Meng, I suddenly remembered something important."

"what's up?"

"I'll have to prepare sunscreen, sun-protective clothing and other things in advance."

"What are you preparing for?"

"The crew moved to Ningxia for filming. The ultraviolet radiation there is very strong. If you are not careful, you will get tanned like a Gu Tianla."

As an artist assistant, the most important thing is to provide emotional value, and Mengmeng does this very well.

Seeing that Meng Ziyi was about to get angry, he immediately changed the subject; "Besides, the temperature difference between day and night is large, you should also bring a warm coat."

So far, the filming of "In the Snow" has been nearly 80% completed, and the subsequent scenes will mainly focus on the attack and battle on the Liangmang battlefield.

Hongshu, played by Sister Meng, has several important scenes in Dunhuang City.

Persimmon was so angry for Sweet Potato that he guarded the city gate of Dunhuang by himself and stopped five hundred Rouran cavalry.

At this time, Xu Fengnian had not yet fully activated the cheat.

Although he is better at fighting than Master Ye, it is still extremely difficult for him to fight against hundreds of cavalrymen alone.

This is also a rare highlight scene in the play that belongs exclusively to Hongshu, the first-class maid in Wutongyuan.

As a variety show that showcases actors' acting skills, "Actors" can undoubtedly be said to be the hit of the year.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that there weren’t some acting variety shows that followed suit. If Jiangdong Entertainment is the barometer of film and television projects in the market, then Mingjie’s variety show plans are the vane of the entire variety show field.

There are countless followers.

It’s just that those few copycat programs mostly have forced scripts.

It's far less realistic than this show "Actors".

The ratings and online broadcast volume are far from enough.

As for the episode in which the Grand Commander of Jiangdong appeared, the tone was a bit high and the ratings record has not been broken to this day.

Veteran actors such as Xie Junhao and Feng Yuanzheng allowed the audience to witness the charm of their acting skills.

Zhang Yu is also a dark horse among the new generation, and Wang Rongran is famous for her beauty.

As for Arthur
Arthur has also received considerable exposure, and everyone has a bright future.

Zhang Songwen, Zhang Guoli, Xu Zheng, Chen Shu, Chen Jianbin, Hu Jun, Xue Xiaolu and other acting masters and directors have successively served as flying guests.

It formed a super luxurious lineup of mentors and team staff officers.

Little Nazha left the crew for a short time, and the ultimate version of Nazha finally ended her overseas activities.

During this period, he has been on the domestic hot searches many times, and has also carved out a niche in Hollywood with his good looks.

Although "The Meg" is not as popular as "Joker", its global box office has reached 8.47 million US dollars.

In addition to movie promotions, Nazha also has brand events and fashion magazine shoots.

"Porter" is a high-end fashion magazine under the British Condé Nast Group, and belongs to the same family as many well-known fashion magazines such as "Vogue" and "GQ".

Nazha has an important position and influence in the fashion field. This time, she directly appeared on the cover of the monthly magazine, which is quite impressive.

Zhou Yutang saw the photos that Nazha posted privately in advance.

Wearing a retro dress, she wanders among the sea of ​​flowers. She is more beautiful than the flowers and is truly breathtakingly beautiful.

“When will you join the group?”

"I'll be here the day after tomorrow. Brother, do you miss me?"

“I wasn’t thinking about it.”

"Ah~~~"

Nazha did not hide her emotions at all and sang the last line of the song for a long time.

"Until I realized that today's sunset glow looks like the color of the lip gloss you wore last time."

As he spoke, Zhou Yutang took his time and sent a photo of the sunset saved in his phone, adding, "Very sweet."

Naza's mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny. She curled her toes and hooked them around the bed sheet, rolling around for a while. Suddenly, she smiled.
"Brother, I heard that Mr. Ma from Alibaba wants to work with you to make a micro-film?"

"It's just hype."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yutang was a little speechless.

In terms of marketing hype, Mr. Ma is at the level of the strongest king.

The recent hotly discussed news about the richest man entering the entertainment industry has once again released a bombshell news without any moral integrity.

"Teacher Ma looked at Jiangdong and cordially invited the Grand Commander to join us in this grand event!"

"Two super-rich Chinese will join forces to create China's top micro-movie, and many superstars will join in!"

The truly powerful marketing tactics are often mixed with truth and lies.

It is even possible that the news is 90% true, with 10% false news.

Teacher Ma did enthusiastically invite Zhou Yutang to form a team, but he did not mention the subsequent rejection.

Others don't know the inside story, they just think it's lively.

Zhou Yutang’s public relations team followed suit and issued a press release.

It means that the Grand Commander of Jiangdong is currently in seclusion in the crew filming, but for Alibaba, the popularity has already been taken advantage of.

Taking advantage of the heated discussions online, the official cast of "Kung Fu Yoga", the first micro-film produced by the richest man in the entertainment industry, was announced.

In addition to the ironclad protagonist, Mr. Ma, the Kung Fu Emperor, who has disappeared from the audience's sight in recent years, will return as a producer.

Although he is not as good as The Grand Commander, Jet Li is also a superstar who has made it into Hollywood.

In addition, Monument directed, the princess sang, and the likes of Yuzhou Dan, Huang Xiaoming, Tony Jaa, Zou Shiming, Asashoryu, etc. were all side dishes.

The lineup is nothing short of luxurious!

Even the Wolf Warrior Leng Feng, who broke through this year's summer box office and set the peak record of China's total box office chart, did it.
Zhou Yutang called Wu Jing and teased him, "Brother Jing, why don't you prepare for The Wandering Earth and go to film with the richest man?"

The casting of "The Wandering Earth" was progressing simultaneously, and Wu Jing's role as the male lead was also decided early on.

"Alas, once you are in the arena, you have no choice!"

Wu Jing was sweating a little and sighed: "I feel like I'm standing on the crater of a volcano. The molten lava under my feet is burning my feet. I don't know when it will come out and splash all over me."

Zhou Yutang, who also went through this stage, could relate to Wu Jing's interesting statement.

Just like Huang Bo said, after becoming famous, you will be surrounded by good people.

After becoming the number one player in the country, Wu Jing was truly at the forefront of the trend.

The sudden attention can make people feel elated, but it is also an invisible pressure.

The two chatted about "The Wandering Earth" for a while. The film's special effects team was already in place, and Wu Jing even went to the filming base in Qingdao to take a look.

Changing the subject, Wu Jing said with some envy, "Boss Zhou, your Joker is really great."

"Just average, third in the world."

"."

Wu Jing was slightly stunned.

It’s true, according to Maoyan’s dynamic box office forecast, it really has the potential to enter the top three in the world box office rankings.

"By the way, I read in foreign media that it seems like they are going for this year's Oscars?"

"That's the plan."

"So what's this Oscar PR thing about?"

Wu Jing asked: "For example, if we want to run a foreign language film, how should we do it?"

"Find a local PR firm in Hollywood."

Zhou Yutang thought for a moment and felt something was wrong: "Brother Jing, is Wolf Warrior 2 going to be nominated for the Oscar for Foreign Language Film?"

"Haha, I really can't hide anything from you. I just went to the bureau for a meeting today."

Wu Jing laughed heartily and said, "The higher-ups want us to send it out and give it a try."

One could tell there was irrepressible excitement in Wu Jing's voice.

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly, and he choked up.

In recent years, Chinese films have developed rapidly.

It has won awards at the Cannes International Film Festival, the Berlin International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival.

The Oscars, a virgin holy land regarded as the temple of entertainment by countless filmmakers, also have great temptation.

Many mainland filmmakers followed suit.

Just looking back at the Chinese film industry's bid for the Olympic Games over the years, each time they went in with high spirits, they always returned empty-handed.

The most promising one last time was Zhou Yutang's "Chi Ling", but unfortunately it failed.

After that, he seemed to be giving up everything and even gave away "The Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Struggling in the Tang Dynasty".

"Wolf Warrior 2" is naturally better than "The Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back", and Wu Jing became famous through it, probably with high hopes placed on him. The Oscar, the world's highest entertainment hall, is the common dream of many film and television people.

Now that the opportunity is in front of me, it is normal to have some fantasies.

After listening to him express his emotions like a machine gun, Wu Jing asked about the main business: "Boss Zhou, what do you think?"

"Brother Jing, it's best not to have too high expectations."

After thinking about it, Zhou Yutang spoke very frankly, which slightly cooled down the War Wolf that was stepping on the molten lava.

"No chance at all?"

Wu Jing still didn't give up.

“It’s not the same approach.”

Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled, then explained the trick to Wu Jing.

The Oscars for Foreign Language Film have relatively fixed aesthetic tastes, which tend to be more in line with European aesthetic standards.

The conclusion that can be drawn from the award-winning works in recent years is that the selection of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is basically dominated by art films that combine exoticism with universal sentiments.

What is universal sentiment?

The fate and confusion of small people in the context of great times.

The contents are generally related to humanitarianism, respect for life, pursuit of freedom and criticism of autocracy.

If it can conform to the mainstream advanced thinking in America, add some feminine boxing, multi-sex squid tentacles and other tones, and hype it up appropriately.

Wow, that's really hard to figure out.
