China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 914: Hollywood Earthquake, Influence Breaks the Circle
For the director.

It’s definitely not about who lives longer.

Which book mentioned it?

The general meaning is that there has always been an implicit points system in the film and television industry.

This is true both at home and abroad.

The higher the points, the higher the status in the circle, and the higher the position in the entire circle's ecological niche.

Apart from the points passed down through blood, there are only two most direct ways to get to the top.

First, win awards.

As long as the movies he directs can prove himself by winning important awards in the world film industry, he can become famous overnight.

Second, the box office.

As long as the projects he manages are box office hits, he can use them to prove himself.

Then, capital will work together to lift you to the top, just like a shark smelling blood, and your net worth will immediately increase a hundredfold.

This is Zhou Yutang's first time directing a foreign film.

It first made a splash in Venice and then took the world by storm with its box office success.

With both fame and fortune, he is unstoppable.

According to Bob, the old lamp, Hollywood has experienced a major earthquake recently because of Zhou Yutang.

Because this art film, whose total investment including subsequent additional bonuses was only 70 million US dollars, grossed over 2 billion US dollars at the box office!

It can be called a record-breaker. Such a terrifying return on investment has created a miracle in the history of world cinema.

Professional box office data analysis agencies, based on various analyses of existing data, finally came to the following conclusions:
Commercial blockbusters no longer exist
The impact this has on the major studios is absolutely subversive.

For example.

You spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the live broadcast room to get the opportunity to connect with the anchor, and spend 3k in Shangk to experience the beauty of college life.

Which one is more cost-effective?
Except for those rich and stupid people who seek spiritual stimulation, even fools know how to choose.

Even Wall Street has a clear understanding of the calculations of these big Hollywood studios, and there is certainly no shortage of smart people.

Warner has held countless seminars to discuss the tone of future DC Universe movies.

Even Marvel, its old rival, is discussing the feasibility of a superhero movie project with a deep theme.
As long as it can make money, it is okay to give the audience some depth of content.
"Everyone stand up! The Grand Commander is awesome!"

"Warner Bros. is really lucky. Nolan's Batman helped boost the business, and now Zhou Yutang has revitalized DC with Joker, which has slayed Marvel at the global box office."

"The Grand Commander kills people with his face and destroys the world with his talent!"

"Of the 2 billion US dollars, China contributed more than 600 million US dollars. Some countries released the film later, and it looks like the price will rise further. I don't know where it will end up."

"Come on, keep going and take down Star Wars!"

"."

There was a loud bang in the country!
The entire film and television industry seemed to have been dropped a bombshell.

It went viral immediately, and even the internet abroad was in an uproar.

A friend of Zhou Yutang named Ma on the other side of the ocean publicly commented on the social platform:
"There's no doubt that Chow is a super talented person, this is an incredible film, and I love the look."

The accompanying picture is the purple clown suit skin of Ma Sheng that was launched last month in the chicken-eating game.

He is both depressed and crazy, but very handsome.

As we all know, besides being rich and loving to have children, Ma Sheng has a very loud voice on the Internet.

I don’t know if he is using his hobbies to create his own persona.

But he often posts game-related content on social media, and at first glance he seems to be a loyal gamer.

Although for some reasons its reputation on the Internet is not very good.

But in China, he does have many supporters and fans.

Netizens are also happy to see the sparks between this hot topic figure and the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

The gossip about the subtle bond between these two young super-rich people is not over yet.

Another piece of foreign news was transmitted back to China, and the entire Chinese Internet went wild.
A Whitehouse insider confirmed:

The American version of Rico, who has not yet realized the truth about stock trading, held a special screening of "Joker" at Hi-Fi Manor over the weekend.

Family, friends and some staff were invited to watch the film together.

And, the film was given a very high evaluation.

"Bob."

Zhou Yutang was somewhat speechless when he saw the photos taken by the old man Bob. He said, "I asked you to promote the movie and do public relations, but I didn't ask you to do the public relations to that extent."

"Oh, my dear Zhou, this was not my idea."

Bob laughed: "It was his team who contacted me and found a topic for media hype. I just agreed to it because he liked the movie very much."

In fact, this is not a secret, just like his love for drinking Coke, you can find out by searching on the Internet.

Nolan filmed "The Dark Knight Rises" in the Chuan Bao building.

Later, Chuan Bao also took a photo with Christian Bale, who played Batman.

In his speech as the leader of the group, he even quoted the classic lines of Bane in the movie.
But no matter what, a movie that can shock a country can be said to have a great influence.
******
It may be difficult for others to imagine.

Chen Duling, who looks aloof and like a cool goddess, is actually quite a homebody in private.

Compared to girls of the same age, she is keen on traveling, checking in and having fun.

Her social circle is not large, and her daily life can be said to be a bit boring.

Because the Grand Commander's schedule was very full, as her secretary she was naturally very busy at work.

Apart from work, she occasionally participates in cosplay activities, and spends most of her time alone at home.

Watch some TV series, variety shows, play some games, and have fun.

This is what women’s university majoring in science and engineering is like.

If Chen Duling had not been specially recruited by Jiangdong, she would have followed her original professional direction and career path.

After graduating from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics with a degree in aircraft manufacturing engineering, she is likely to work in aerospace-related fields in the future.

She has recently become fond of reading the news and forums.

"He is talented, handsome and passionate.
The movies he directed successfully entered the top 5 in film history!

The production company he runs is overlooking the six major Hollywood giants!

He is not a challenger breaking into Hollywood, but an Eastern media king who is rebuilding the order." - The Hollywood Reporter

"The rule maker of the Asian streaming era, the world's most promising super-rich under the age of 30!" - Forbes

"."

The Internet is flooded with news reports about Zhou Yutang.

After browsing domestic forums, Chen Duling used a ladder to go surfing abroad.

I can’t finish watching it. I can’t finish watching it at all.

Seeing the entire world film industry dancing to Zhou Yutang’s baton and receiving praise from all angles, I feel that the emotional value is at its maximum.

If you can praise someone, praise them more, and it’s better to be more specific.

"Well, I should be considered as participating in it, right?"

Chen Duling, who never wastes time on internal affairs, thought about it with her high ponytail tilted, and quickly convinced herself.

Why not?
The Grand Commander was filming, and she helped take care of the fish in the pond, sending messages and chatting, and shopping for gifts.
At least there is a sense of participation.

She owns half of this medal.

However, Chen Duling, who is so smart that she can score over 600 in the college entrance examination, sometimes finds it difficult to understand her boss.

For example, now.

Every moment, Zhou Yutang’s WeChat was popping up.

In addition to the fish in the pond churning, there was a crazy bombardment of congratulations, compliments, and relationship-building messages from home and abroad, one after another.

Such a remarkable achievement cannot be said to have reached the top of the world film scene, but in these few days, Zhou Yutang's popularity is truly unmatched.

Just witnessing and participating in it in person, Chen Duling felt it was legendary.

However, the person standing at the center of the storm still looked calm and composed.

Chen Duling observed carefully and it seemed to be no different from usual.

It’s time to eat and work as usual.

Occasionally, I exchanged pleasantries with various bigwigs, but I also didn’t forget to raise fish. I managed my time very well.

——It was Zhou Yutang who displayed a sophistication and aura that did not match his age.

Girls like her who are precocious in mind are particularly interested.

As the scenes in Xiangshan were coming to an end, Zhou Yutang discussed the future filming plans with Kong Sheng and said confidently,

"Director Kong, I need to take another leave at the beginning of next month."

This time, the Grand Commander missed the opening red carpet event of the first Pingyao International Film Festival, but agreed to be a guest at the closing ceremony, which he could not refuse.

"Let Director Jiang make the arrangements then."

Kong Sheng was already used to this. He nodded calmly and said with a smile, "That's right. It's not far from Shanxi to Ningxia. We can go directly there when the time comes."

"Xiao Xin has already gone to Ningxia ahead of schedule. We expect to wrap up filming within two weeks. If we include the reshoots for King Liu, we will basically be able to finish work next month."

"Thank you, Director Kong." "I'm fine. Thank you, Director Jiang."

Kong Sheng chuckled, opened the thermos, and drank a sip of wolfberry tea.

Jiang Xuehuan had a wry smile on his face.

The power structure of any project in which Zhou Yutang is involved is somewhat special.

As the production director of this project, she is on an equal footing with director Kong Sheng.

Second to one person, above everyone else.

Only directly responsible to the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

Jiang Xuehun led the entire production team to draw up a production schedule and formulate the daily shooting schedule for the crew, while Kong Sheng was responsible for implementing the specific shooting.

Now the Grand Commander's words meant that she had to overturn the production schedule she had prepared yesterday and re-arrange it. Wouldn't that be painful?

But this is what she needs to consider. Zhou Yutang took a sip of tea and asked casually, "How is the preparation for "A Flowing River" going?"

"I just talked to Director Kong two days ago, and I was just about to talk to you about this, Xiao Zhang, take the tablet."

As soon as Jiang Xuehuan looked up, the assistant behind him hurriedly handed him a tablet, obviously having prepared the information in advance.

This drama is adapted from the novel "The Eastward Flowing River" written by A Nai, the same author as "Dwelling Narrowness", and the writing style and content are quite sharp.

It tells a realistic story that takes place against the backdrop of modern reform and opening up.

It is a joint production of Jiangdong Entertainment, Noon Sunshine and SMG Shangshi Pictures.

It has been in preparation for some time and has been quite popular. It is one of the most anticipated projects in the TV drama industry recently.

Jiang Xueru is in charge of all these matters, and Zhou Yutang doesn't interfere too much.

Seeing him glance at him at this moment, his eyes suddenly fixed and Kong Sheng put down the teacup.

Jiang Xuehui's heart also jumped, and he leaned forward slightly and said, "Director Kong and I are still discussing this list of actors, and we can adjust it later."

Zhou Yutang pointed at a name on the actor list and asked, "Whose relationship is this?"

Jiang Xuehuan leaned over to take a look and said, "Mr. Wang from China Renaissance Capital."

"It's him?"

Who is Wang Ran of China Renaissance Capital?

Highly qualified elite men who have worked at top international investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase.

After accumulating rich experience in mergers and acquisitions and capital markets on Wall Street, he turned around and brought his talents back to China.

He is a big shot in the capital market and has a very successful business.

It started investing in TMT, consumption and healthcare sectors at the beginning of the century, and has entered the entertainment industry in recent years.

He was the chief financial advisor specially appointed by Bonna Group and was also the one who planned Huayi’s capital operation before its listing.

This person is behind the financing and strategic integration of many film and television companies in the circle.

Zhou Yutang has always had a good memory.

When the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" project was being operated, Mr. Wang went to Jiangdong to visit Zhou Lang with great sincerity.

His purpose was to push his beloved wife to the top, but the result was naturally rejected by Zhou Yutang as expected.

No wonder people on the Internet say that the fastest way for women to achieve class transition is to get married.

With such a husband, Tong Yao has truly become a phoenix.

Speaking of Mr. Wang, everyone is familiar with him. Zhou Yutang immediately chuckled and said, "For modern dramas involving reform, we must pay attention to the influence of the artists' reputation."

"What does Mr. Zhou mean?"

"Take her down and replace her with someone else."

Kaikai and Wang are our own family members, so there will be no problem for them to play Song Yunhui. Lei Dongbao was promoted by SMG.

Sister Hua wanted to push her son to the top, and she put a lot of thought into getting the third male lead, so she can be given this face.

Only this person was caught cheating by Zhang Guoli's son, which caused a sensation at the time - a new legal term was even coined.

"I understand."

Jiang Xuehuan nodded slightly, but in her heart she was mourning for that person.

Mr. Kong is also a veteran in the film and television industry, so of course he is familiar with the stories in the circle.

When the Grand Commander of Jiangdong had just made his debut, Zhang Guoli had the foresight to invest in the drama "Want to See You". Later, he mentioned it several times on variety shows, and it also became a good story in the industry.

It is widely said in the martial world that the Grand Commander is loyal and righteous, and it is true.

This woman has some shackles with the Zhang family. With just one word from the Grand Commander, she can't sit at the table.

It's a pity that Mr. Wang's efforts were all in vain.
As we were talking about the industry prospects, Chen Duling came over with a phone and said, "Boss, Fenghuangzi called."

Following Zhou Yutang, some of my language habits were also influenced by him.

Before Kong Sheng could react, Zhou Yutang had already started chatting with Joaquin Phoenix.

"Hello?"

"Zhou, thank you. I really appreciate it."

"You're so polite again."

"There's an old Chinese saying: This is what comes from the heart."

Joaquin Phoenix laughed: "I feel like I'm dreaming."

"You learn Chinese well."

Zhou Yutang leaned back in his chair and laughed: "This is not a dream, this is reality."

"It seems like every foreigner who has dealt with Zhou Yutang can speak a few words in Chinese?"

Chen Duling stood nearby with his hands behind his back, tapping the ground with his toes, and his clever brain quickly came to a conclusion.

It is definitely not that the charm of Chinese is so great that foreigners cannot resist it.

I just wanted to get closer to Zhou Yutang in this way.

All eyes around gathered around her. Chen Duling looked at Zhou Yutang and pursed her lips.

As a Hollywood veteran, Phoenix knows very well what this means to him.

Having your own artistic pursuits does not conflict with enjoying the joy after taking off.

Except for Teacher Ma, no one complains that they have too much money.

"Well, I feel like a dream come true."

"Congratulations, Joaquin, you are now a top Hollywood star."

Zhou Yutang could fully understand Fenghuangzi's feelings at the moment and smiled calmly, "Thank you for your hard work on the roadshow during this period."

"Ok, I am a little tired."

Joaquin Phoenix laughed and said, "But this is what I'm supposed to do."

In fact, Zhou Yutang is quite popular abroad. He doesn't post updates very often, but every time he does, he'll be number one on the hot list.
Many foreigners are also interested in this talented and mysterious super-rich man.

However, due to the tight schedule this time, Zhou Yutang did not go abroad for roadshow promotions.

Joaquin Phoenix flew all over the world, ran the entire course, and cooperated with the subsequent publicity and marketing, so he must have been exhausted.

Zhou Yutang painted a pie for him: "All the hard work now will be rewarded. This is just the beginning. You know, we have bigger goals."

Hearing this, Joaquin Phoenix was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted: "I really thank the director for giving me this opportunity..."

Before this movie, Joaquin Phoenix was well-known in the art film circle.

But compared to someone like Leonardo, there is a huge gap.

Now that the box office of the leading male player is 20 billion US dollars, Fenghuangzai has become a god on earth, and his salary has skyrocketed from a few million US dollars to million US dollars.

In terms of status alone, he is worthy of sitting at the same table with Leo.

This is the rule of the game in this circle.

******
The entertainment industry was quite lively in late October.

In addition to the continued media coverage of "The Grand Commander of Jiangdong" entering the top five in global film history, the promotion of the first Pingyao Film Festival is in full swing.

The micro-film "Kung Fu" starring Teacher Ma was completed in the morning.

Emblem is really a quick shooter and finished the work in just over ten days.

In addition to Wolf Warrior Wu Jing, the Queen and Princess also went to the adult entertainment industry
The theme song "Feng Qingyang" of the micro-film "Kung Fu Yoga" written by Ai Dajin and sung by Jack Ma and the princess was officially released, causing an uproar.

The entire network simultaneously announced that it will be officially launched on Youku on the 11th of next month, which is the so-called Singles' Day, and will be exclusively broadcast on the entire network.

Brother Dong also has a solution.

In fact, when it comes to marketing, Brother Dong is no less skilled than Teacher Ma.

It was Jingdong’s first 618 store anniversary after its listing on NASDAQ.

Brother Dong set out from the Jingdong Datun Distribution Station, riding an electric tricycle, transformed himself into a courier, and delivered the goods.

Some people on the Internet say that Dong Ge is just establishing his own persona, while others strongly support him.

Dong Ge, who originally came from a poor family, is very down-to-earth even after he became rich. He stands on the standpoint of ordinary people and feels very close to them.

With Double Eleven approaching, the two companies are unsurprisingly fighting again.

You, the richest man, have descended from heaven to venture into the entertainment industry.

OK, whatever you like.

We brothers are united, and we can break through the entertainment industry together
