China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 923: The Mainland Action Star to Be Revealed, Governor Zhou's Show

"Mr. Zhou is here."

I don't know who shouted, but almost everyone at the scene looked over.

This also includes Jackie Chan and Fatty Hong.

"Boss Zhou, you're finally here."

Looking at Boss Yang who was eagerly waiting, he smiled and walked quickly forward to greet him.

Jackie Chan and Fatty Hong looked at each other.

I have a lot of emotions in my heart.

They have been in the industry for so many years, but they have never seen anyone treated like this by Boss Yang.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even in the most glorious era of Hong Kong films, there was no such a scene as Governor Zhou's today.

How big is Hong Kong?
After all, it is just a corner of the Celestial Empire.

Even if he stirs up trouble in the entertainment industry, it is not as good as being the leader of the Chinese entertainment industry.

This media tycoon, who is a little too young, has power that is absolutely beyond imagination.

"I had some other things to deal with, so I was delayed a little. Sorry for keeping you waiting, Boss Yang."

If it weren't for the beautiful queen Huo Wenxi's deadly series of dunks, Zhou Yutang would have even wanted to give up.

The promotional plan for the film had already been decided in advance, and his presence was just the icing on the cake.

Marketing is important, but the most critical factor that truly affects a movie is ultimately the quality of the movie.

Since we don’t have to join in the fun, after all this progress, shouldn’t we enjoy it?
He originally wanted to hold his beloved concubine Gao Li and sleep for a while longer, but he was awakened by Chen Duling's phone call.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Boss Zhou, congratulations to the team for winning the championship."

While Zhou Yutang was talking to Boss Yang, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung came over to say hello.

Huo Wenxi led the artists under Yinghuang, such as Xie Tingfeng, Lin Feng and others, and greetings came one after another.

There were many old friends of Zhou Yutang at the scene, and they naturally exchanged warm greetings when they met.

After the beloved concubines of Goryeo received the emperor's love and care every day, they each had their own schedules. Today, it was Chen Duling who accompanied Zhou Yutang.

The secretary was wearing a black dress with a beige coat over it.

In order to match the clothes, she wore a pair of black stockings on her legs, which rarely appeared, and it further highlighted her slender legs and showed her intellectual temperament.

Zhou Yutang had no intention of going on stage to steal the show, so he sat in the guest seats and listened to Chen Duling's work report.

Being his secretary is neither easy nor difficult.

Every day, the things that need to be dealt with are summarized and refined, and then the information is delivered to him.

There was nothing happening on stage, it was just a standard premiere process.

"A-Meow is very good at fighting."

"Brother Miao has a very good foundation in Kung Fu."

A group of main creators accepted the interview very harmoniously.

The old hands are happily carrying the sedan chair for the newlyweds.

Xie Miao was also very humble and low-key in front of the media, and said with a moving expression:
"I am a semi-newcomer. I have worked with many seniors before, but I never thought that I would be able to stand here. I am very grateful to Mr. Zhou for giving me this opportunity. I hope I have lived up to his trust."

After expressing sincere gratitude, the audience applauded.

The camera suddenly cut to the audience, and Zhou Yutang smiled and waved.

Then, he interacted with the players of Jiangdong Gaming Team who had just won the championship, which helped to gain some popularity.

As the lights in the theater dimmed.

The movie starts.

This year's Ying Huang's big-money movie "Chasing the Dragon" opens with a scene of a plane flying over the Kowloon Walled City.

It gives the audience a great visual impact.

The same art team was used for these two films, and "Kowloon Walled City" presents the interior and living conditions of Kowloon Walled City in the previous era in more detail.

Cramped neon signs are intertwined with rusty water pipes.

Zheng Baorui seems to be very good at making movies of this style.

The audience follows the camera switching and gets close to life in what was once the largest slum in Asia.

This is a new and unprecedented experience, as if seeing a beast exuding primitive wildness.

The Hong Clan's tough and practical combat style action design is also eye-catching.

The scenes of bayonet fights on rooftops and butterfly knife attacks on enemies in street fights are textbooks of violent aesthetics. Xie Miao's explosive fighting scenes make the audience's spine tingle.

The most exciting long shot is probably the final battle between the F4 members of the City of Justice and the villain Wang Jiu.

"Oh my god! This Wang Jiu is so fierce. Fatty Hong and Gu Tianle were both killed."

"Golden Bell Cover Iron Cloth Shirt Horizontal Training?"

"This isn't the Golden Bell Cover, it's hard Qigong, right?"

"Ah? What the hell is this about black dog blood and sanitary napkins?"

"Have you never read the novel? Black dog blood and women's menstrual period are used to break evil spirits!"

"What an exciting fight scene, just awesome!"

Hearing the discussions coming from the audience seats at the back, Zhou Yutang's mouth curled up slightly.

In the original comic book of "Kowloon Walled City", Wang Jiu is a disciple of Shaolin Temple. He is gifted and ranks ninth, so he is called Wang Jiu.

It's just that he has a bad character and became a traitor to Shaolin as everyone knows.

The plot of the movie version was slightly changed, and it was set to be hard Qigong taught by an alien.

Wang Jiu relied on this hard qigong to enter the society, became a double-flowered red stick, and then defeated the boss to take over.

He is truly a rebellious hero.

However, this hard Qigong has a fatal flaw, which is that the weak point cannot be contaminated.
This is also a common setting in ancient martial arts novels. The F4 of the City Walled City does not have enough hard power and can only make up for it by cheating.

In the end, of course, the F4 of The Brink of City worked together to defeat the big boss Wang Jiu.

Strictly speaking, this comic-adapted movie is obviously not perfect. It is a bit simple in narrative rhythm and character creation, and there is not even a female protagonist.

But the biggest selling point of action movies is the fighting scenes, there is no need to go into so many fancy moves.

It is enough to just focus on the two points of brotherhood and exciting fighting scenes.

The movie lasts two hours and there are basically no boring moments throughout.

"Where did you dig this treasure out from?"

Han Sanping also came to the premiere. After watching the movie, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people in the mainland who can fight."

"Isn't there still Wu Jing?"

Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "Xie Miao has a very good foundation in Kung Fu."

Wang Changtian, who was sitting a few seats away, leaned out and said jokingly, "Yu Tang, next time there is a project like this, there will be a chance to bring light."

After the show, there was a dinner arranged, so it was inevitable to clink glasses.

For Xie Miao, tonight is the happiest moment of his life.

The Grand Commander of Jiangdong only showed up for a moment and then withdrew. Xie Miao's cheap senior brother Wu Jing became the target of everyone's attack.

"Sister Mani, Xie Nan and I will go back first."

"Then be careful on the road."

After the dinner, Wu Jing and his wife said hello to Huo Wenxi and went down to the parking lot of the Dynasty Hotel.

In his early years, he wandered around the Hong Kong circle begging for a living. Later, because of Zhou Yutang's relationship, he collaborated with Huo Wenxi in several dramas and they had a pretty close relationship.

Wu Jing drank some wine in the evening and Xie Nan was driving.

The car lights cast streams of light on the asphalt road. Xie Nan caught a glimpse of Wu Jing in the passenger seat, tilting his head and looking out the window, his Adam's apple rolling up and down as he swallowed.

"Stop staring at me and focus on driving."

Wu Jing suddenly grinned, his hoarse voice mixed with the smell of alcohol.

"Why do I feel like you're particularly excited today?"

"Have it?"

"there must be."

Xie Nan said with certainty.

The two have been married for so many years, and they know each other's emotional fluctuations very well.

"My wife still understands me."

Wu Jing laughed: "I chatted with Xie Miao for a while today, and I remembered the things in the martial arts school."

"How many years has it been?"

"At that time, I only wanted to practice kung fu well so that I could have a bright future. I got up early and went to bed late every day, practicing kung fu non-stop.

I have to get up before dawn to do exercises, and then do all kinds of basic training, such as leg stretching, waist bending, and leg kicking. I practice one movement many times. Alas, I am old and can’t do it anymore.”

Wu Jing likes to talk a lot when he drinks. It's always like this.

Xie Nan listened quietly.

She just turned her head from time to time to glance at her husband, thinking of his silly look when she first met him, and couldn't help but smile: "Come to think of it, you should call Xie Miao a senior, right?"

Wu Jing tilted his head in confusion: "?"

Come to think of it, it seems to be true.

Although he is ten years older than Xie Miao, the other was brought into the entertainment industry by Wang Jing at the age of nine and was already quite famous at that time.

The car turned into a familiar street, and the street lights cast alternating light and dark shadows on Wu Jing's face.

"He calls me brother, so he is my brother. What are you laughing at?"

"Do all you men have a dream of becoming a hero?"

"You know what, it seems to be true. Yu Tang also has it."

Wu Jing laughed: "Maybe that's why we can chat so well. I'm very grateful to him."

Jing, wandering in Hong Kong circle for half his life, returned with nothing.

It was Zhou Yutang who set up the stage and organized the "Wolf Warrior" series.

Now he is no longer the humble Xiao Wu. Wolf Warrior Leng Feng has reached the top of the domestic entertainment industry. Who in the world doesn’t know him?
The former Huo Wenxi would definitely not be so enthusiastic towards him.

Tonight, Huo Wenxi accompanied his car all the way to the parking lot.

Xie Nan felt as if things were not real for a moment. She caught a glimpse of the wrinkles in Wu Jing's eyes that were filled with the weight of time, and her heart felt sweet and warm.

"Boss Zhou has a good eye. Xie Miao is so good at fighting. There will be someone to take over the mainland's kung fu actors in the future."

"Xiao Xie's kung fu is pretty good, but he's just a little bit behind me."

"You're a little thick-skinned."

I stepped on the brake light and waited for the red light. I listened carefully to my husband's nagging and asked softly, "Are the preparations for Wolf Warrior 3 really going to be postponed?"

Wu Jing forced a wry smile and rolled down the car window. “Boss Zhou’s script was turned in but was rejected by the bureau.”

"Were you beaten back?"

Xie Nan was slightly stunned, and asked curiously: "What's the matter? What are you talking about? Even Boss Zhou's face is useless?"

The first movie takes place on the southwest border and is about a flour dealer.

The second part goes straight to Africa and the situation escalates.

Logically speaking, this work, which topped the Chinese film market, has important significance beyond the movie, and if a sequel is to be made, it must be given special consideration.

In addition to the face of the Grand Commander Jiangdong, even "Joker" was able to pass the review in the mainland. Now the third script has been rejected, which is a bit unbelievable.

"The scene is even bigger, the content is more radical, and it also involves the lighthouse."

Wu Jing lowered his voice and said, "They said it was too sensitive and there was no room for maneuver. Boss Zhou said he wasn't going to start a sequel in the next few years."

"It's better to stop for a while. The heat is getting a little scary."

Xie Nan tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said, "Don't be so impulsive next time."

The summer blockbuster "Wolf Warrior 2" was a phenomenal hit, and Wu Jing was directly labeled as equivalent to the patriotic theme.

Even the incident of drinking and moving the car in the past was used to smear him, and the dirty water was inevitably thrown on his family.

He said he was eating patriotic food, but secretly he was immigrating to America with his family.

Wu Jing was also very tough. He directly posted the couple's Chinese passports and Wu's so-called birth certificate on social media.

"Well, not next time."

Wu Jing nodded and said, "Boss Zhou's intention is to focus on making The Wandering Earth first."

"The Wandering Earth is about to start filming. I think I saw news about Guo Fan going to Qingdao."

Xie Nan backed into the parking space and turned to look at Wu Jing, who grinned and said, "The special effects team has already gone there. We are still waiting for Boss Zhou's schedule. We will probably be able to start filming this month."

After a pause, Wu Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's China's first science fiction movie. It's really worth looking forward to."

******
“The premiere of “Kowloon Walled City: The Siege” was a blast, the audience screamed until they lost their voices!”

"The fighting scenes are amazing! The most exciting action movie of the year is coming!"

“The main creators of the “Kowloon Walled City: The Besieged City” crew have started their roadshow and will communicate with the audience face to face!”

The next day, news of the premiere was already posted on the film and television pages of all major portals.

Several channels of Jiangdong Entertainment also began to promote the content.

Xie Miao followed the main group and started the roadshow.

Zhou Yutang was on his way to Pingyao, resting and recuperating, when he received a call from Huo Wenxi halfway.

"Mr. Zhou, do you think we should prepare for the sequel first?"

The movie hasn't even been released yet, but this beautiful and ambitious lady is already thinking about the sequel.

Confidence is overflowing.

Zhou Yutang smiled softly: "Sister Mani, let's see how the market reacts first, it's not too late to talk about this later."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The strong woman's voice is soft and comfortable to listen to.

"I heard from Dudu that they have already left for Pingyao?"

"on the way."

"Have a nice trip. I won't bother you any more."

Huo Wenxi said a few words and then hung up the phone.

The first Pingyao International Film Festival opened grandly at the end of last month.

The entire film festival includes film screenings, forums and lectures, as well as various exchange activities between Chinese and foreign film and television circles.

Zhou Yutang was somewhat incompetent as a publicity ambassador, but when he arrived in Pingyao, he still felt the enthusiasm of the local leaders.

"Welcome Mr. Zhou to Pingyao."

"Secretary Yuting, I was just passing through last time and missed the chance to meet you. This time I am lucky enough to meet you."

"I just came from Beijing. I am exhausted from the journey. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhou."

"No, no, I've been thinking about this bite of knife-cut noodles for a long time."

"Haha, did you hear that, Xiao Hu?"

The middle-aged man in an executive jacket and with an extraordinary demeanor pointed his finger and said, "Mr. Zhou likes to eat noodles. You will arrange it. You must take good care of Mr. Zhou."

"."

The grand ceremony of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong is unmatched by any celebrity.

Just like Hengtai Pi Ge, the local team went out collectively and the media accompanied them.

Surrounded by people and flowers.

Chief Jia, who was standing at the edge, couldn't even get a word in and could only smile along.

This is like the ranking of Honor of Kings.

Platinum accidentally entered the King's game.

The man in the middle, who is chatting happily with Zhou Yutang, is the local governor.

Chief Jia is a local and is often seen on TV, so of course he is familiar to him.

In order to set up this bureau in Pingyao, the leader standing in fourth position must also sign and stamp it.

At that time, he didn't even meet the leader in person, but he talked to a leader below about the pros and cons and he was sore-lipped.

Only he himself knew how many cups of Qinghua Maozi he drank at the dinner.

Looking at Zhou Yutang, who was like a star, and the leader who made him drink, they also could not stand in the core circle.

Chief Jia felt a little dazed and had a dull pain in his stomach.

Oh my god, if I had known to find this deity earlier, wouldn’t that have been the end of it?

Why bother?

Chief Jia had complicated feelings, but Teacher Fan was overjoyed.

After attending the opening ceremony, Teacher Fan had other schedule announcements, so he rushed back to Pingyao the day before the closing ceremony.

When she heard that the leader was going to hold a welcoming party for Zhou Yutang, she immediately followed over.

In fact, Teacher Fan is undoubtedly a top female star, but no matter how big a star she is, she is not qualified to sit at the table with the provincial governor.

If it were Liu Shishi or Liu Yifei, they would probably rather stay in the hotel than show up in such an occasion.

Teacher Fan is different.

She is a woman who never hides her ambitions.

She likes to stand at a higher position, see more beautiful scenery, and see the beauty of her man.

At this moment, she was standing next to Zhou Yutang in a dignified and elegant long dress with three-dimensional prints and embroidery, showing her slender shoulders and waist and her graceful figure.

She raised her swan-like neck, smiled flawlessly, and did not interrupt.

However, the pair of bright eyes that looked at Zhou Yutang from time to time seemed to be able to pull out thin threads.
