China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 911 Let the Bullets Fly for a While, a Drama Circle of Gods Fighting

"Can you still play like this!?"

"Brother Jing, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. You should adjust your mindset."

Zhou Yutang said slowly: "The Oscars are not the only standard for measuring the quality of our domestic films."

The main theme of commercial films is originally aimed at the box office.

When the competition among the National Day blockbusters was in full swing.

"Wolf Warrior 70", which has been released for more than 2 days, still has a box office revenue of one to two million every day, and even exceeded 200 million on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Such a long tail effect is truly terrifying.

The box office was a huge success, setting a record for the highest box office of domestic films. What else do you want?

"oh, I understand now."

Wu Jing had no idea about the Hollywood way of doing things.

I just feel that a rare opportunity is right in front of me, and maybe there is really hope.

After Zhou Yutang's attack, I felt dizzy and felt like I had suffered a little shock. It took me a long time to recover.

If someone else said this, he might not listen.

But when it comes from Zhou Yutang's mouth, it is very convincing.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is a commercial film, and is not at all on the same track as those art films competing for awards. There is basically no possibility of it winning an award.

No matter how much money you spend on public relations, it will all be a waste of money.

Wu Jing is still trying to digest the facts and adjust his mindset, but there is a lot of heated discussion about this matter in the outside world.

A total of 92 countries are competing for the Oscars this year.

This is also the session with the most nominations to date, setting a record in Oscar film history.

This year, the mainland sent the summer box office champion "Wolf Warrior 2", while Hong Kong and Taiwan selected "Mad World" and "Daily Conversations" respectively. Both are art-type films that not many people pay attention to.

The ancients said that if a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it.

It is true.

While "Wolf Warrior 2" has enjoyed great success, it has also become the most conspicuous target.

Especially when the news of Oscar for delivering newspapers came out, there was an immediate climax of people cheering on the spot.

All kinds of sarcasm and ridicule.

"Perhaps we should reflect on this, the BBC reported. This film over-exaggerates national sentiments and emphasizes the use of armed confrontation to solve problems. It is not worthy of an Oscar at all."

“The people kneeling upstairs, please stop savoring this! Hollywood saving the world is a universal value, but Chinese heroes are just Wolf Warrior PTSD?”

"It's so funny. Who else but the Chinese will watch it?"

"What are you talking about? I just love to see Chinese people beat up foreign trash, so what? Hollywood has been firing for decades without anyone criticizing it, but Wolf Warriors show off their muscles and you're shocked? Get off my feet, you hypocritical dog!"

"."

The internet was divided into two camps, and public opinion was arguing fiercely.

The smoke of the National Day movie season has finally dissipated.

The news of "Joker"'s perfect finale in China has already spread overseas.

Everyone is looking up to "Joker" and watching it go higher.

Even the popularity of "The Meg" was overshadowed.

Hollywood has been turned upside down.

All major film studios were collectively confused.

I don’t know how many seminars were held during this period.

No, is China’s film market so awesome?

For an art film to have such box office performance in China has completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

The most important thing is the box office performance in overseas markets.

Due to different release times, the film was still being shown in some countries after it was released in China.

So far, the global box office is gradually approaching 2 billion US dollars, and major industry media have reported on it.

"A great play directed by the director of Oriental Miracle!" - The Hollywood Reporter

"This man brought DC back to life, Warner Bros. has received a golden opportunity, and the potential of the Chinese film market is immeasurable!" - Variety Headline

"The global box office is about to reach 2 billion. Let's witness the birth of a new king!" - "Variety News Special Issue"

"."

Everyone, at home and abroad, is looking forward to that moment.

Zhou Yutang not only caused a stir in Hollywood, but also sparked widespread discussion on Western social media.

Thanks to the long-term output of Western media.

The impression in the minds of most foreigners.

It is no exaggeration to say that the common people in China were still at the backward stage of wearing pigtails.

Until recent years.

A purple star fell from the sky, and Zhou Yutang began to plan the entertainment industry.

For example, Li Ziqi, who has become very popular on the Internet, is also a UP host strongly promoted by Jiangdong MCN Company.

Her YouTube channel currently has over 15 million subscribers.

The number of views for a single video can easily reach tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

This is also the first time for many foreigners to see this picturesque rural life in China.

There may be cultural and cognitive barriers.

However, the yearning for nature and beauty, and the attachment to family affection transcend the barriers of language and ideology and are common human nature.

By now, the situation in Yangdou has been determined, and the climate for the ultimate killer weapon is gradually taking shape.

It has also quietly created a gap in the global discourse system that has long been dominated by Western media.

Many foreigners have just discovered:
Amazing, so this is what China is like?

This is a cognitive breakthrough battle without the smoke of gunpowder, but there is no need for unnecessary publicity.

Zhou Yutang just reached out and gave a gentle push behind the scenes.

It has opened a window and has truly changed the stereotypes of China held by a small number of foreigners.

Of course, Western discourse hegemony will not collapse overnight.

It will take time to completely change the impression of China in the world.
******
This year, the TV drama circle has produced many hits, which can be said to be a battle between gods.

Jiangdong Entertainment has a very loud voice.

The phenomenal popularity of "Eternal Love" at the beginning of the year directly established Da Mimi as the ratings queen.

The "Snow Swordsman" in the middle of the year was even more exaggerated, sweeping the drama circle with great force and becoming the king.

Including the upcoming "Day and Night", which is also a big hit.

It’s a bit of a pity for “Fighter of the Destiny” as it ran into the monster “Nothing Gold Can Stay” at the same time, and was suppressed from the beginning to the end.

Sun Li rose to fame in the drama circle overnight, and the international star Zhang Ziyi also descended to the drama circle like a god.

The news is on the headlines of the film and television pages.

If it were more than ten years ago, when Zhang Ziyi was at the peak of her career, I’m afraid she herself wouldn’t have believed that she would one day star in a TV series.

In the past, there was an invisible chain of contempt in the entertainment industry: drama stars > movie stars > TV drama stars > variety show stars.

As soon as Zhang Ziyi debuted, she was chosen by Zhang Yimou as his "Mou Girl".

At that time, Binbin and Yanzi were all called little sisters, but she was a Chinese actress who stepped into Hollywood at her peak.

And now, international star Zhang Ziyi has to come back and act in TV dramas.

Her debut TV drama "The Emperor's Industry", in which she personally participated in investing and starring in it, has finally officially started filming.

This big production, which is rumored to have cost 700 million yuan to invest, is second only to "The Snow" in terms of popularity.

Zhang Ziyi, Jiaqian Lay Buddhist Zhou Yiwei, Yu Hewei, Yang Youning, Yuan Hong, Zuo Xiaoqing, Zhao Yazhi, Hui Yinghong
This cast can be described as super luxurious.

"I never thought that he would act in a TV series."

"First there was Zhou Xun, then there was Zhang Ziyi, and now it seems like more and more big stars are acting in TV dramas."

"Nonsense, you can earn more by acting in TV series than in movies."

"It's better to take on variety shows, more money and less work."

The entertainment industry is updating very quickly, and many celebrities in the film and television circles have plunged into the variety show circle.

At the end of the day, it's all about money.

After the middle of the month, the broadcast of "Fighter of the Destiny" has almost come to an end, and the first film in Zijin Chen's crime universe, "The Undocumented Crime", is ready to be released.

Tangren also began to cooperate with Jiangdong to promote the drama "Princess Agents".

However, in terms of attention, it is not as popular as another ancient costume palace fighting drama "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

This time, Mango TV, the big brother among the Big Three, is competing against two of the younger brothers among the Big Three.

The dual broadcasts of Tomato TV and Jiangsu TV created momentum in advance.

It was at this time that a recording of a phone call between Yu Wai, a famous producer in the circle who was suspected to have a close relationship with Mango TV, and others was somehow leaked.

"I'm dying of laughter. I've filmed more than a dozen Qing and Ming dynasty dramas, and I've never seen such a low-brow look. Look at what the concubines are wearing? When the concubines are together, it's like a big gathering of prostitutes in a brothel."

"Zhou Xun is quite old too, and she probably had hyaluronic acid injected into her face"

"."

There is no such thing as a peaceful life in the entertainment industry. There is another round of bloody storm on the Internet.

The Lunar New Year TV series has not yet been aired, but several parties have already started to quarrel with each other.

Jiang Xuruo's daily report was about the coordination of work with Mango TV, and Zhou Yutang took a quick look at it.

In terms of background, Mango, the eldest brother of the three royal families, is indeed stronger than Tomato and Su Province.

Prepare to use "Princess Princess" as the finale to compete with "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

The drama that will be strongly promoted in November is "Hunting Ground", a business war drama co-starred by Hu Ge and Jiang Wei, which is scheduled to be broadcasted exclusively in the Golden Eagle Theater.

In addition to Tangren's No. 1 and Jiang Wei, the drama also features an all-star cast including Yan Wang, Uncle Zhang, Zu Feng, Wan Qian, etc.

In addition, there is Chen Sicheng's "Great Expectations", in which Yuan Hong plays the second male lead.

Speaking of Yuan Hong, before he joined the crew of "The Emperor's Industry", he came to visit the crew in the snow.

They were all friends in the Tangren circle back then. Later, when he went out on his own, Zhou Yutang even helped him.

After playing the role of the prince in Joy of Life, Yuan Hong's career took off and he had his chance to shine. But he took on the big role in Ordinary World, but failed miserably.

In this way, there is no hope of advancement, but there is always a bottom line and there is no need to worry about getting acting roles.

Compared to Yuan Hong, his good brother Tangren Yige has been relatively low-key recently.

I was doing well in drama, but somehow I ended up going abroad to study.

It was also a rare appearance in public, attracting the attention of many fans.

"The reason I went abroad was because after I finished filming the TV series "Hunting Ground", I couldn't get over it for a long time. It was the best script I had ever read. After filming this drama, I felt a little bit indifferent."

Hu Ge was talking freely in the interview, and Zhou Yutang turned around and called him: "Didn't you say that Nirvana in Fire was the best script you had ever seen, and then Xiao Tiantian became Mrs. Niu?"

"You're welcome. You're welcome."

Facing Zhou Yutang's soul-piercing question, Hu Ge smiled awkwardly and said, "Boss Zhou, we are all family, please don't mess with me."

"We're moving to Ningxia next week. When will you join the crew?"

"It will be there tomorrow, but there are only two days of schedule. I will be very busy with the promotion of "Hunting Ground" later."

"Row."

Zhou Yutang expressed his understanding.

Hu Ge is still a very influential figure in the drama circle.

Together with Jiang Wei, the director of the masterpiece "The Disguiser", Mango TV has gone to great lengths to promote the series in order to outdo its two younger brothers.

"Then I'll have to see what's going on with your six major sects." Hu Ge said eagerly.

"What are the six major sects?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Zhou Yutang's face: "The six major sects besieged Guangmingding?"

"You are the chefs. Chen Duling filmed a vlog and posted it online, so netizens gave them a nickname."

"Oh, there are eight now, and the chefs for Cantonese and Thai cuisine have just arrived."

"Depend on!"

Hugo said in an exaggerated tone: "A beast!"

It sounds like a luxury to have several famous chefs serving one person.

But on second thought, with Zhou Yutang's wealth, it seems that no matter how much he enjoys, it is not too much.

King Liu with a broken leg had to report on time, and Tangren’s number one star couldn’t escape either.

He made a friendly guest appearance as Chen Wang in the drama. Although he didn't have many scenes, he was also a very impressive supporting character in the original novel.

The reason why Zhou Yutang chose Hu Ge's general was because of Mei Changsu's image as a scholar who has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Director Kong Sheng also fully agreed.

There's no reason not to take advantage of this opportunity.

All scholars are ungrateful, and the most ungrateful one is Chen Wang.

Hu Ge played Chen Wang, a poor scholar from Beiliang who did not return home in glory after becoming famous in the imperial examination.

He was not able to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop, because he was born in Beiliang, and his situation in Tai'an City was like that of a foreigner in Shanghai.

He encountered setbacks everywhere and finally succeeded seven years later.

In order to win over Chen Wang, Emperor Liyang betrothed Prince Chai's daughter to him.

As Xu Fengnian's spy in Li Yang, Chen Wang lived up to his duty, but he only let down the unknown woman who was waiting for him to return by the reed marsh.

Don't think or wait, it would be a shame to die.

Just these few words, every word is heart-wrenching and tear-jerking.

In fact, Hu Ge’s acting was really good.

The time I spent in the drama class was not in vain, and my acting skills have improved a lot.

Several female crew members on the filming crew couldn't hold back and dropped their little pearls.

"Click! Passed."

The few scenes went by quickly and Kong Sheng was very satisfied with Hu Ge's performance.

This type of scholar role is completely within the comfort zone of Tangren's No. 1 actor.

Zhou Yutang, on the other hand, had a new regard for the girl who was let down by Chen Wang. She looked so tearful and heartbroken.

He handed the girl a tissue and praised her, "The play is good. Are you from the Central Academy of Drama?"

"Well, Mr. Zhou, I'm a 16th-grade student of the Central Academy of Drama."

Ren Qi took the tissue with slightly awkward hands, and was a little excited.

The idol in front of me was as dazzling as the sun, and my whole body was glowing.

"Keep working hard in the future."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and gave a word of encouragement without saying much else.

This is the young actress newly signed by Li Xiaoping of Guangguang Media, who was added to the crew for some gilding.

I will be working with Zhang Ruolan in two more dramas next, which does feel like a bit of a bond.

"Boss Zhou, can I stay a few more days?"

"Of course."

Zhou Yutang agreed to Hu Ge's request without thinking, and said while stroking his chin, "That's great. I'll give you some extra drama."

In the Snow, a group portrait drama, whether it is the big characters or the small characters,
Everyone has a story, and the shining points reflected from the supporting characters can also move the audience.

The character of Chen Wang perfectly combines the idealism of the scholar-official and the realism of the politician.

Just imagine, being born in a humble family, and meeting a wise ruler.

A gentleman will die for his confidant, so how can I do that for you?
As long as the story of this somewhat pretentious character is told well and the knife is used well, it can definitely earn the audience's tears.

Arranging more court scenes can show the story from Chen Wang's perspective, and can also highlight the undercurrents between the Liyang Dynasty and Beiliang.

"Brother, we have an announcement the day after tomorrow."

The female assistant pulled Hu Ge's arm and reminded him anxiously.

"We'll talk about the day after tomorrow."

Hu Ge said nonchalantly: "I promised Boss Zhou that I have to do it well."

The female assistant was speechless and secretly said to herself: I think you want to try the methods of the masters of the six major sects?

She also tried it and found it was really delicious.

During this period, people have been leaving the crew one after another. Following Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun, Liu Yifei also took a leave to shoot a promotional advertisement for Dior.

With the arrival of Hu Ge, Zhou Yutang now has an extra companion to eat with.

"Damn it! Swallow has been dealt with."

At the midnight snack party after work in the evening, someone suddenly shouted, and everyone looked at him sideways in an instant.

"Who is Swallow?"

"Oh, the woman that Yue Yunpang can never catch up with."

"Haha, this swallow is not that swallow, the one who trades stocks."

I don’t know who was making a joke, but there was a burst of snickering. Some people who don’t trade stocks were asking what happened.

After swallowing a plump crystal shrimp dumpling, Lao Hu checked the news on his phone and couldn't help complaining: "It's finally dealt with. Do you really think you can do whatever you want?"

"What are you so excited about?"

"The one who speculated in stocks has been dealt with by the Securities and Exchange Commission."

Hu Ge handed the phone over. Zhou Yutang took a look at it and couldn't help but chuckle.

America has its Capitol Hill stock god, and we also have our female Buffett.

Previously, they used high leverage of bank credit in the stock market to have their way in the capital market and act recklessly.

After being stopped by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, administrative penalties and advance notices of market bans came down, which was a solid blow.

"As fertile as the land, so bold are the people."

Hu Ge made a sharp comment: "Two million is used to move a listed company with a market value of tens of billions. Isn't this just like carrying rice in an empty sack? Is it just a waste?"

"What does it mean to carry rice in an empty sack?"

Chen Duling on the side asked in a daze, feeling like he was listening to Japanese.

"Get something for nothing."

Zhou Yutang explained.

As a pure Shanghainese, Hu Ge sometimes speaks a few words of Shanghainese when chatting with friends.

Stock trading is a basic skill engraved in Hu Ye’s genes.

If you find any uncle on the street, he can probably give you a detailed explanation about policies and stock market sentiment.

"use."

Hu Ge asked curiously, "Boss Zhou, do you know his background?"

"Have you forgotten your name?"

"swallow?"

"No, it's Zhatian. Zhatian that covers the sky with one hand."

Zhou Yutang turned his palm over and said with a half-smile on his face: "Let's not talk about this. You're leaving right away. Eat more Cantonese food."

"So polite?"

"Have some seaweed egg drop soup."

In the end, Lao Hu was not able to taste the skills of masters from the six major schools.

However, before leaving, I did get to taste the three-color lobster made by the famous Cantonese chef who was said to be Huang Xinhua's disciple.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

After all, Tangren's No. 1 is one of the most popular few stars in the circle.

With his schedule packed with various announcements, director Kong Sheng felt a little depressed after leaving the crew of "Snow".

It’s not that the actors’ poor performance slowed down the filming progress.

Instead, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong also took a leave and temporarily left the crew for other schedules.

Before going to Ningxia to eat Tan sheep, my superiors issued me a series of gold medals and urgently summoned me back to Beijing for a meeting.
