China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 938: The Three Rebels in Heaven, the Sweet Girl's Audition

"Zhou, I feel so sorry for you."

I had just landed in Beijing and was taking a nap in the back seat of the Maybach when Bob called again. "There will be a super hot girl at the cocktail party the day after you leave. She's your loyal fan."

"If you're talking about that, I'm really sleepy."

Zhou Yutang was too lazy to listen to this guy talking about these meaningless yellow garbage and was about to hang up the phone. Bob on the other end of the phone hurriedly said:
"Wait, my brother, you are still so upright. I have something to tell you."

"Walter?"

Zhou Yutang sank deeply into the leather seat, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked casually: "Do you want to talk about the Disney project?"

"Yeah, I really can't hide anything from you."

Old Deng Bob smiled and said, "Kevin is very sincere. He asked a middleman to tell me that no matter what, the price will not be lower than Warner's. I hope you will reconsider it."

The Kevin he mentioned is Kevin Mayer, Disney's executive vice president in charge of corporate strategy and business development, who is indeed a sharp character.

Zhou Yutang has been stirring up trouble in Hollywood these days and also met Kevin at a cocktail party.

The latter tentatively extended an olive branch, trying to persuade Governor Zhou to take over a major project of Disney.

"Let's see. I'm too busy."

Zhou Yutang lowered his head and sent a message to Da Meiyu, not taking it to heart at all.

Old Bob on the other end of the phone was speechless.

Disney's first tentative offer was a director's salary of 20 million US dollars, plus a share of future projects.

I'm afraid no director in the world can refuse such generous treatment.

Even Lao Deng was a little tempted and wanted to agree on behalf of Zhou Yutang.

But his partner didn't even glance at it.

can only say.

Having money means you can do what you want.

He does have reasons to be willful.

"Naza is the most stunning beauty in the world! Warner Bros. officially announced: The oriental goddess will become the queen of the sea in the DC Super Hero Universe!"

“All the members are like gods descending to earth! The ultimate bomb of Aquaman, director Zhou Yutang + Jason Momoa + Nazar + Nicole Kidman, the ceiling of the DC universe in terms of appearance!”

After attracting a lot of fans, the popularity has reached its peak. After being scolded for several days, Warner finally released the casting news.

Both at home and abroad, the film and television circles were in an uproar.

This year, "Joker" miraculously swept the world and created an absolute box office myth.

This is the second superhero blockbuster directed by Zhou Yutang, so needless to say it has attracted a lot of attention.

After the failure of "Justice League", Warner, which is in urgent need of recovery, is also making every effort in marketing.

When the outside discussion reached its peak, the overwhelming press releases also put Nazha at the center of public opinion.

The just concluded "The Meg", coupled with the DC superhero movies, quietly connected two Hollywood A-level heroines.

Judging from the official list of actors released by Warner, Nazha’s ranking is even higher than Nicole Kidman!
"General Zhou is so famous that he asked Nicole Kidman to carry Nazha's sedan chair?"

"Oh my god, Naza has completely taken off."

"This brother is really awesome. Congratulations to Nazha for becoming the first 90-year-old flower!"

"As a Venus who responded to Nazha when she debuted, I actually have a lot of emotions. I am really happy for Nazha because it feels like she is really, really happy. She is not restraining herself at all and is full of confidence and sunshine. I really hope Nazha can stay this happy, then we fans will be relieved."

"I am willing to marry Zhou Yutang, even if it means being in his play and living in his mansion!"

"I can hear the calculations upstairs in the capital."

The Internet was very lively. The female celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry, who were still fighting for ranking and getting beaten to a pulp, were all dumbfounded.

Since her debut, Nazha has had smooth sailing, and the biggest hardship she has experienced is probably the iced American coffee.

Taking this step means truly stepping into Hollywood.

If I say I'm not envious, I'd be lying to myself.

However, there are some things that you can't envy after all. He has been following the Grand Commander since his debut.

Now that Nazha has gotten this role, even a fool would know who is behind it.

In this circle, those who have the right to speak control the rules of the game.

Originally everyone thought.

It is possible that "Kowloon Walled City", which fired the first shot of the Lunar New Year's film, will be a dark horse to the end.

I didn’t expect there to be experts.

Pixar's "Coco" has continued to see high box office sales since its release on the 24th.

Word of mouth continued to grow, and by early December, the daily box office rose against the trend, exceeding 12 million yuan for consecutive days, taking over the daily box office crown, and the cumulative total box office has exceeded million yuan.

It’s not that the Raptors can’t cross the river!
It’s just that the performance of this cross-border dragon was too strong, causing a number of domestic film and television companies to suffer.

It even suppressed the limelight of the handsome guys coming out of the walled city.

Zhou Yutang returned to Beijing to see Da Meiyuan and had a few days of rest before filming of The Wandering Earth started.

It just so happened that Miss Liu had just finished her announcement, so she was dragged to the Starry Sky Cinema to watch this movie.

Brothers who have experienced multi-threaded operations should know this.

It's common to watch a movie several times.

On the eve of the Golden Horse Awards ceremony in Taiwan Province, Zhou Yutang took Liu Shishi to watch the film at a local cinema in Taiwan Province.

Then I came back to watch it again with Da Meiyu. This is the third time.

However, it is indeed a very good movie and worth watching several times.

Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei took Shu Chang's family of three out of the cinema and went to eat at Haidilao Hotpot.

I listened to the two girls chattering and paid some attention to the news online.

Word of mouth gradually gained momentum, with social media showing scenes of long queues outside cinemas across the country.

As the golden period of the year, the competition during the Lunar New Year period is extremely fierce.

Without a solid foundation, you will go in vertically and be carried out lying down.

For example, Wu Baige.

It once had its glory days and was a big name in Hollywood, but was crushed by the wheel of the times and withdrew from the competition for the Lunar New Year box office in an embarrassing manner.

"The movie "The Hunt" is a big hit, but director Rainie Wu ended his roadshow early due to poor health. The film has a top Asian cast, but the box office performance is not as good as expected, with only 2.3 million.
On the way back to the paradise of immortal cultivation, Zhou Yutang read the news on the Internet.

The current Chinese film market has subtly undergone subtle changes.

Hong Kong directors like Wu Baige and Du Qifeng, who are remnants of the old era, are unable to grasp the pulse of the future film market and do not have the artistic background of Chen Kaige.

The days ahead will become increasingly difficult.

Those who play with capital are very realistic.

Just look at how much benefit it can bring to yourself.

The Grand Commander of Jiangdong made a fortune by training young directors.

Now, film and television giants such as Light Media, China Film, and Huayi are actively promoting related layouts.

From now on, there will be no place for him in this world.

Wu Baige left the roadshow team due to illness and returned to Taiwan Province to lick his wounds.

The bold words spoken before the movie was released have now become a laughing stock in the industry.

Zhou Yutang heard Mr. Han San gossiping.

It seems that the head of China Film Group has been in a bad mood these days, and several vases in his office were broken.

However, all this has nothing to do with him.

I have spent the past two days looking after my precious daughter, spending time with Da Meiyuan and Tianxian, and my time management has reached the pinnacle.

Chen Duling finally ended her vacation and returned to her loyal job.

"You've gained weight." Zhou Yutang was shocked when he saw the secretary. Chen Duling turned pale and touched her collagen-filled cheeks, saying worriedly:

"I just ate a little more. Is it that obvious?"

As long as you are a woman, no matter what age you are, you care about your figure.

"You'd look better with a little more flesh on you. You were too thin before. What did you want to say?"

"Oh, Director Chen and Mr. Zhuang are here."

"Bring them in."

Zhou Yutang met with the two directors of "Wushuang" in his office.

"Director Chen looks good."

"Haha, thanks to Mr. Zhou, I'm recovering pretty well."

Chen Musheng originally had white hair and had a certain artistic temperament.

Now that I have just recovered from a serious illness and rested for a while, I dyed my hair black and look a lot younger.

After a few pleasantries, Zhou Yutang got straight to the point, "The movie will be released in the middle of the month, and then the premiere and roadshow will be left to you."

"Mr. Zhou."

"Ok?"

Chen Musheng and Zhuang Wenqiang looked at each other, and Chen Musheng asked politely, "Then will you come to the premiere?"

Both of them hoped that the Grand Governor would be able to show up to the event.

The power of the Innate Holy Body of Public Opinion is so strong that it is almost equivalent to a nuclear weapon.

"That's too late."

Zhou Yutang shook his head: "There will be an audition in two days, and I will join the crew. The quality of the film will be fine, and Yang Mi and Zhu Yilong are enough to support the show. It's up to you."

"OK then."

The big boss spoke, and Chen Musheng and Zhuang Wenqiang looked at each other and nodded helplessly.

"Mr. Zhou, can you show your support on social media when the time comes?"

"You can have this."

Zhou Yutang did not refuse.

The secretary will do it if there is anything else, and Chen Duling will take care of it when the time comes.

They say that a short absence is better than a new marriage. It has been more than ten days since the crew finished filming in the snow.

Miss Liu was also very excited, active and proactive. Zhou Yutang just lay there like an old man, enjoying eternal bliss.

"Xiao Zhou, I heard that your company is preparing a series of animated films on Celestial Mythology. How is the progress?"

“It still needs some polishing.”

Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled, "Take your time, there's no rush."

The Celestial Mythology series of animated films, which connects the Journey to the West universe, is an important part of Jiangdong's next phase of planning.

The team held many meetings for this purpose, and the plan selected Sun Wukong, Yang Jian and Nezha as the protagonists.

These three traitors in heaven have enough stories to tell, and they are also the most influential mythological figures in the hearts of Chinese audiences.

First, "The Return of the Great Sage" made a stunning debut, showing people the potential of Chinese animated films. Then came "Nezha", which was directed by Jiaozi.

When he returned to the capital this time, Zhou Yutang met Wang Changtian.

Lao Wang complained bitterly.

With the resources of Light Media + Jiangdong, it was originally scheduled to be released next summer, but according to the current progress.

It may not even be available during the Spring Festival next year, and it may have to wait until the year after.

He didn't care. Instead, he admired Jiaozi's serious attitude.

He has strict requirements on every detail of the movie. If the expected effect is not achieved as he expected, he will send it back for redo.

Even the elite team of Jiang Dong's Vision Media were tortured to death.

"This kind of movie is bound to be a big success if it is released during the Spring Festival."

Wang Changtian has decades of experience in the film and television industry and has his own vision and judgment.

Just thinking that the progress was much slower than expected, he suddenly felt a headache. Lao Wang frowned and sighed: "How about asking the Hollywood team for help?"

"No need. The level of our domestic special effects industry has also risen."

Zhou Yutang flatly rejected his proposal and said calmly: "We don't have enough manpower, so we can continue to outsource the work. Let the dumplings be made slowly and don't put too much pressure on them."

In the past, China did not have the necessary conditions and had to rely on Hollywood's technical team.

Now that Vision Media has grown into a fully-developed company, it has reached world-class standards and is not inferior to Hollywood's top special effects teams.

On the contrary, even Hollywood projects have to be subcontracted to Vision Media. They are overwhelmed with projects every year and make a lot of money.

This has also led to a large number of special effects companies springing up in the entire industry.

Many young people even decided to enter the animation-related industry after watching The Monkey King.

It’s just that our country is too inward-looking.

The market system is not fully mature, and often there are too many people and too little resources.

Some special effects companies are very small and it is difficult for them to even operate.

Instead of spending a lot of money to seek foreign cooperation, it is better to find and support excellent domestic teams.

This is training for the future advancement of the entire animation universe.

Being able to participate in such a project is also a valuable experience for those who are full of enthusiasm and passion.

In the long run, it will be of great benefit to the entire Chinese animation industry.

There was a piece of news coming from Hong Kong.

Fang Yuhua, the wife of Shaw Brothers, the founder of Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers Film Company, and also a well-known strong woman in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

He passed away recently at the age of 83.

Zhou Yutang remembered hearing Zou Zhongyan mention it when he was in North America.

Zou Wenhuai's health condition doesn't seem to be very good, which makes me feel sad.

The glory of the previous era is gradually coming to an end.

The Jiangdong Building is particularly lively today, with the area filled with celebrities' nanny cars.

"Haocun, why do you look so familiar? Have you been here before?"

After Wang Yuwen followed Liu Haocun to register in a familiar manner, she took the elevator to the 4th floor.

Along the way, he saw several familiar faces that had appeared on the big screen, and he pulled Liu Haocun beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Sister, I came here for the audition."

Liu Haocun said in a low voice, his eyes moving quickly from time to time.

When he met a staff member with a Jiangdong name badge, Liu Haocun took the initiative to approach and asked, "Hello, is the audition for "Do You Know?" here?"

"404, have you registered downstairs?"

"I have registered."

"Then sit and wait for a while. It starts at half past nine."

"thank you."

"You're welcome. There are snacks, coffee and drinks over there."

A thank you from a sweet girl like Liu Haocun always makes people feel happy, so the staff gave her a few more pointers.

Even though he had seen many beauties, he couldn't help but secretly praise her in his heart at this moment.

The two girls in front of me are indeed outstanding in appearance.
