China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 930: The battle between the old and new leaders, "Do You Know" starts

Zhou Yutang was communicating with Bob about public relations matters, and Meng Ziyi was drawing circles on his chest with her slender fingers.

The wonderful process of acting under the starlight is still in my mind.

This scene is difficult and she can't act it out.

Fortunately, there was the experienced Zhou Yutang who taught me everything he knew.

At the beginning, I was so nervous that I couldn’t relax.

But Governor Zhou, who had fought on the battlefield for many years, used his skills to give her a perfect experience.

Recalling what happened last night, Meng Ziyi wanted to bury his head in the quilt like an ostrich.

In fact, I had already prepared myself for this. I just looked at the torn underwear and stockings on the ground, my face was burning, and I was worried and thought,
"How are we going to get back later? We have a show in the morning."

"Take a day off today, and ask your assistant to bring some clean clothes over later."

After Zhou Yutang finished the call, he sent a message to Chen Ning.

The weather is so cold now, and if the boss is overworked, he may catch a cold and need to rest.

Anyway, it’s not impossible to film other people’s scenes.

"Won't that slow down progress?"

"Don't worry about these things. I have the final say in the crew."

Zhou Yutang lifted Meng Ziyi's chin and admired the beauty's shy and blooming appearance.

But not everyone is qualified to be called the school belle in a school like Beijing Film Academy.

Meng Ziyi's foundation is indeed very good. After last night's nourishment, she became even more beautiful and attractive.

She turned her head away, not daring to meet Zhou Yutang's gaze. She turned her back, and even her voice trembled slightly: "I drank too much last night. It was just an accident."

Just treat it as a dream, and a beautiful dream.

Zhou Yutang has his own understanding of women's limited discourse at certain times.

Sometimes the explanation is somewhat pale.

Only practical actions can make the world full of love.

******
For a crew of thousands of people, Zhou Yutang and Meng Ziyi's leave will not have any impact.

Jiang Xuehuan adjusted the production schedule overnight and rescheduled other people's roles that day, and the crew continued to operate.

We agreed to be happy for only one day, but in reality, accidents always happen many times, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

By the end of the month, the carnival of imported films continued.

Several imported blockbusters released at the beginning of the month all made a profit.

Marvel masterpieces such as "Thor 3: Ragnarok" grossed over 2.38 million yuan, the suspense classic "Murder on the Orient Express" only grossed 4.69 million yuan, and "Justice League" only grossed million yuan in China, which are mediocre and not amazing.

When someone eats meat, someone gets beaten.

The situation for domestic films was terrible. The highly anticipated spy blockbuster "Secret War" failed to live up to the expectations.

The box office revenue was only over 60 million, even lower than the box office revenue of "The Blizzard Is Coming" starring Duan Yihong and Jiang Yiyan, which exceeded 100 million.

As for "Crazy Beast" starring Zhang Jing, "Fenghuo Fangfei" starring Li Lianhua, and the first e-sports movie "Bottom League", etc.

Two brothers in trouble met each other, and the best box office performance was just over 20 million, so they all became cannon fodder.

The film industry is wailing as it is devastated by the imported Hollywood blockbusters.

Looking ahead, "Kowloon Walled City", which has only been released for a week, has established itself firmly, and including the previews, its total box office has already exceeded 700 million.

"The most exciting action movie of the year, with a billion box office just around the corner!"

"Boss Yang highly praised the future martial arts stars of the mainland, and the sequel will continue to use the original cast!"

"."

Ying Huang's strong woman Huo Wenxi has already announced that she is discussing the production of the film sequel with Jiang Dong.

The group F4, led by Xie Miao, also became a little famous.

"Boss Zhou, the marketing department's report is out."

Chen Xi acted quickly. The marketing department of Soochow Pictures held meetings for several days and handed the report to Zhou Yutang.

"Coordinate the actors' schedules and come up with a promotional plan as soon as possible."

Zhou Yutang took a look and finally nodded.

Huayi wants to have two people in charge, and Jiangdong will stick with him to the end.

New and old leaders, sniping New Year's greetings, fighting for life and death, just see who will have the last laugh!
"Boss, I received several invitations."

Zhou Yutang had just finished chatting with Chen Xi when Chen Duling came over wearing shallow-mouth sequined women's shoes.

Her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and her waist-hugging chiffon shirt was tucked into an A-line skirt, looking clean and refreshing.

Zhou Yutang took it and took a look.

China Film Corporation's blockbuster project "The Chase", which was heavily bet on, and "Youth", which was very popular just after it was approved, as well as several domestic films that were targeted for the Lunar New Year holiday, all sent Zhou Yutang invitations to the screening.

"Let Sister Shuang handle it."

Zhou Yutang didn't even look at it.

He and Wu Baige have always been at odds with each other and have had several head-on battles. He will definitely not give him the opportunity to gain traffic.

I guess La Peikang didn't have much hope either.

Anyway, whether they come or not, just invite them first.

If the big fish of Jiangdong Grand Commander is really caught, there will be too many hot topics to hype.

As for Huayi, they were just about to lock onto the sniper, so there was even less to say.

However, the invitation letter to the Wuzhen Internet Conference sent by the Cyberspace Administration of China made Zhou Yutang hesitate for a few seconds.

After looking at his schedule, he told Chen Duling: "My schedule is a bit tight, so I won't go this time, but I will definitely go next time. Never mind, I'll call Director Xu later."

The censorship policies from above are gradually tightened, and subsequent web dramas on Bilibili will have to deal with the authorities.

******
As soon as Zhou Yutang made the decision, the entire Jiangdong system's huge machine started to operate.

Promotion was fully launched on multiple channels, and two Jiangdong films were released during the Lunar New Year holiday. Naturally, Huayi also got wind of the news.

Huayi, large conference room.

From the big and small Wang to Ye Ning, Xiao Gangpao and the senior executives of several core departments of the company were all present.

Zhou Yutang's words made everyone in Huayi feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy, as if a sword of Damocles was hanging over their heads.

It's really hard to relax.

In the early years, Huayi and Jiangdong even had a honeymoon period.

But after Huayi went public and Zhou Yutang cleared out the market, the two no longer had any connection.

They can usually talk and laugh when they meet in public, but in private the relationship between them is a bit tense.

Mr. Wang, the helmsman of Huayi, had never imagined that Jiangdong would rise so fast.

Huayi has not yet completely promoted the de-filming, proving the Disney of China, but Zhou Yutang has already led Jiangdong to step on Huayi to take the lead.

Profit comes first, and the competition for the leader is turbulent. Naturally, there is no reason to give in.

Big D and Ah Le fought over the dragon head stick and their heads were all bruised.

Jiangdong wants to become the leader in domestic entertainment, and Huayi will certainly not give it up.

Including Wanda’s aggressive attack on Huayi some time ago, Jiangdong may have been behind the scenes fanning the flames.

However, even if it is competition, it is within the rules of the game.

Huayi didn't play dirty tricks. Or rather, they didn't dare to play dirty tricks.

Zhou Yutang has opened up all upstream and downstream channels of the entertainment industry. With the current size of Jiangdong Entertainment, if it really goes full throttle, it can kill Huayi in minutes.

"He got a good deal for the box office success of Kowloon Walled City."

Mr. Wang smacked his lips, feeling a little envious and a little sour. "However, this has no impact on our New Year's layout. The key is still the two movies of Jiang Dong's family."

The information prepared in advance by the marketing department was projected on the screen.

"Director Feng, what do you think?"

The King always asked.

Among the three major directors in China, Xiao Gangpao is deeply bound to Huayi.

There is even a saying in the outside world that whenever Feng Xiaogang coughs, Huayi will catch a cold.

"Ask me what I think?"

The little steel cannon glanced at the projection screen, touched his chin, and grinned, "Boss Wang, Yuan Heping is getting old, and he still uses the old Hong Kong movie tricks. What's there to be afraid of?"

"What about Director Chen?"

"Which one?"

"Legend of the Demon Cat, directed by Chen Kaige."

"The Great Wall flopped like this, showing that it can't grasp the current market. If it doesn't settle down, there's nothing to worry about this time. What we should pay attention to is The Great Wall, a movie produced by Zhou Yutang himself, which is expected to be a hit."

Feng Xiaogang's pale face showed a stern look, and he raised his head and said, "But don't be afraid, we'll see when the time comes. I have absolute confidence in Youth."

Every successful director has absolute confidence in his or her work.

"Okay, let's see how it goes head-on!"

"The reputation of the Ex-Files 3 series is there, and it is targeting Happy Twist!"

"The propaganda department held up this time, and there is no upper limit on the budget."

******
Zhou Yutang said this and Huayi held several meetings to formulate strategies.

The entire industry is also ready to wait for the battle between the old and new leaders to begin.
"Tsk, Youth sniped at Warriors, Shameful Iron Fist vs. Ex-Files 3, it's like Mars colliding with the Earth!"

"There is about half a month between the two, which is enough time to consume the entire Lunar New Year holiday. This year's Lunar New Year holiday is very lively."

"Don't forget, there's also The Legend of the Demon Cat by Chen Shishi, two of the top three directors in China are here, and there's also Bleeding Steel by Jackie Chan and Luo Xiaozhu."

"Tomorrow is the premiere of Wu Baige's "The Chase", let's take a look at the quality first."

Ever since the capsizing of the Eastern Titanic "The Taiping", Wu Baige disappeared from the audience's sight for a while.

He told others that he was recuperating at home, but in fact he was holding back his energy to do something big.

——Wu Baige’s past achievements are quite impressive, and he has some reputation internationally.

In particular, since they have a close relationship with Japan, they organized a blockbuster film produced by the top casts from the three East Asian countries.

China Film Group Corporation has placed a heavy bet on "The Chase", and held a premiere press conference in Beijing.

With the martial arts leader Na Peikang personally in charge, Wu Baige's return from the dead was still grand.

Zhang Hanyu, Fukuyama Masaharu, Qi Wei, Takenaka Naoto, Kurata Yasuaki and others are all gathered.

In fact, this movie had already held its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and it was also held in Hong Kong the day before yesterday. South Korea's top actress Ha Ji-won was also in attendance.

"Mr. La, Director Wu, the box office performance of Kowloon Walled City: The Siege is quite strong. Can The Hunt beat them in this year's Lunar New Year box office?"

Before Wu Baige could speak, La Peikang took the microphone and said domineeringly: "The Walled City of Kowloon is very good, but The Manhunt is not bad either."

"Director Wu is a director who has proven himself in Hollywood. The box office of this painstaking work, which has taken him years to prepare, is definitely worth looking forward to!"

"Director Wu, do you have any specific expectations for the box office?"

"Given the current size of the Chinese film market, I think 7 million is not a problem, conservatively speaking, and there may be a chance to sprint to 10 billion."

"Haha, 10 billion, you dare to say that!"

"You still have to have dreams, just in case they come true."

"Does he have that ability?"

Jiang Xuehuan came over during the crew's break and happened to see Zhou Yutang talking on the phone with Han Sanping.

She just stood quietly behind Governor Zhou.

Listening to Zuo Shandiao's complaints full of resentment, he just pretended nothing happened.

When Mr. Han Sanye was in power, he once thought he had found the answer.

As a result, he was taught a lesson by "Red Cliff".

Mengmeng stood up, but this incident became an indelible stain on Zuoshandiao's glorious career.

Coupled with the later "The Crossing", it was a huge scam that killed so many people that LeTV, one of the main investors, almost vomited blood.

Mr. Han Sanye paid a huge price to prove that Wu Baige, a remnant of the old era, was really unable to board the ship of the new era.

As a result, La Peikang insisted on passing the ball to him.

"Ginger is still spicy when it's old."

After listening to the old man's complaints, Zhou Yutang sat back in the airline seat with a relaxed posture.

Jiang Xuehuan then spoke: "Mr. Zhou, according to Director Li, the filming of Sito is expected to be completed next month."

"So fast?"

Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned.

The filming started in September and took more than two months to complete, which is considered to be extremely fast.

"Director Li has great control over the crew, and Director Wu, the initial filming there also went smoothly."

Jiang Xueluo flattered them subtly, "It's all thanks to your cultivation. They were trained by your side."

"If you have the ability, it's only a matter of time before you come to the fore."

Zhou Yutang leaned back with a faint smile on his lips.

Li Muge became famous because of the hit "Joy of Life" series, and the outside world once jokingly called him Governor Zhou's personal tool man.

As for Wu Yuze, he was a friend who came with Tianxian in drama. He was a die-hard Tianxian fan and had also followed Zhou Yutang in several dramas.

During this period, Jiang Xuejue ran back and forth between several crews and had work to report every day.

Zhou Yutang was very confident in her ability, so he just nodded and continued to instruct, "There's no problem with 'A Flowing River' at noon. Director Kong plans to start work as soon as it's finished. Please coordinate Xiao Zhao's schedule."

"clear."

"besides."

Zhou Yutang pointed his finger and said, "I have read the several workplace scripts that were sent to me. They are not good enough. I will take them back and redo them. The project of "Do You Know?" can be put into operation."

Jiang Xuehuan bowed slightly and kept everything Zhou Yutang said in mind.

"The Story of Minglan" is a serialized online novel of ancient Chinese family fighting stories from Jingjiang. The original novel has a good reputation and is quite popular, and has long been included in the copyright library of Jiangdong.

The main focus of this drama is on the heroine.

Such a smart, forbearing, and sober heroine has a very eye-catching personality and is destined to win the female market.

After he finished explaining, he tentatively asked, "Boss Zhou, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Next, Zhou Yutang set the tone for the entire project with just one sentence.

"Let Shishi come up."
