Entertainment: I really want to make progress

A fierce battle between fans of various female celebrities.

It has become commonplace.

To this.

Zhou Yutang always remained indifferent and kept a distance from the matter.

Why bother arguing?

In fact, it is just a meaningless emotional release.

His mind was completely focused on advancing the project at hand.

I didn't forget to pick up my phone and sent a WeChat message to Da Mimi, with a hint of sarcasm:

"Queen of Films, when will you come back? The filming of "Wushuang" will be waiting for you."

Since the Chinese New Year, Da Mimi's work schedule has been packed.

After the filming of "Negotiator" was completed, a lot of endorsements, fashion magazines, and variety shows.

Announcements came one after another, and I was busy all the time.

Even the few in-depth discussions about the script felt rushed.

At this moment, Sister Mi is probably also surfing the Internet intensively, and she replies almost instantly.

Then the voice came over, "I have already made an appointment with Teacher Liu. I will prepare to join the group when I return."

"oh?"

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows: "Would you like to hear more details?"

He's been to Berlin, to Cannes, to the Oscars.

I have seen some of the world.

I haven't really paid attention to this Houston Film Festival.

"The final award ceremony was actually held inside the hotel. Can you believe it?"

“Can a hotel hold an award ceremony?”

“Yes, and the stage was short and shabby, with just a wrinkled piece of cloth hanging on it that wasn’t even straightened.

When I went on stage, I almost tripped. There was a PPT screen behind me, and the whole scene was a mess, as shabby as it could be..."

Da Mimi poured out all the bitterness in her heart like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come..."

“.”

It was indeed a bit shocking, and Zhou Yutang didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"If you want to laugh, just laugh. Don't hold it back."

"Haha, Sister Mi, think on the bright side, at least you won the award."

Zhou Yutang said happily.

"Are you okay? You're really smiling?"

"You're not the one who made me laugh?"

While Zhou Yutang was chatting with Da Mimi, he glanced at the comments online.

This generation of netizens is very sarcastic.

The performance guests invited by the organizer were a few lively American girls in shorts showing their buttocks, who were dancing on the podium.

It hit Zhou Yutang's funny spot again.

Da Mimi was a little depressed, but she took this opportunity to act like a spoiled child:

"I don't care. I want to win the Best Actress award. The real one."

Women always have the privilege of being unreasonable in front of their men.

Zhou Yutang's smile remained unchanged, "Sister Mi, do you still want to go to the International A-Class Film Festival?"

"That slutty fox can do it, so there's no reason why I can't."

Da Mimi is very confident.

As for the slutty vixen she mentioned, it was naturally her mortal enemy, Teacher Fan.

"Why not? How about rushing down Oscar?"

"Will you help me? That's not impossible."

"Sister Mi, go to bed. Dreams can contain anything."

"Why are you so annoying!"

Da Mimi's unique sweet voice sounds like she is speaking in a coquettish tone.

Zhou Yutang also enjoys this atmosphere of communication.

It's like a chaebol giving girl band girls technology that vibrates when they perform on stage

The goddess and heroine in the eyes of many fans reveals this limited little bird-like posture.

In fact, there is also a kind of inexplicable pleasure.

Many true words are said in the form of jokes.

Liu Tianxian has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, and Liu Shishi also has the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actress.

Apart from the two Lius, Teacher Fan is even more amazing. She is the only double-awarded international A-class actress in the domestic entertainment industry.

Zhou Yutang knew very well that Da Mimi was longing for the award.

But judging from her current performance, it can only be said that the time is not right yet.

It hasn't even come to that point yet. Treating the audience as fools and forcing it to be promoted will inevitably backfire.

The outcome can be seen from the way that fat guy Harvey manipulated Gwyneth Paltrow.

A water queen, throughout her life.

"General Zhou, efficiency is king. The filming of 'Dying to Survive' has been completed and he recently returned to Beijing in a low-key manner!"

"It is reported that the Grand Commander of Jiangdong may serve as a judge at this year's Cannes Film Festival!"

The news of the filming completion was still on the front page of the entertainment portal, and another piece of breaking news spread like wildfire.

This news is not groundless.

As the winner of the Palme d'Or, Zhou Yutang is already a well-deserved leader among the younger generation of directors around the world.

In addition to his super-rich status, he has also attracted much attention internationally and has a considerable influence.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival, which is of great significance.

The Cannes jury also extended an olive branch to Zhou Yutang, hoping that he could participate.

Due to schedule conflicts, Zhou Yutang had to decline the invitation.

You know, being a judge at a film festival is not just a matter of casting a vote.

You need to set aside at least one month to devote yourself to a series of tasks such as watching films and discussing them.

Governor Zhou is busy with many things, how many sisters have to turn over the cards

Where do I get the time?

However, out of respect and support for the Cannes Film Festival.

Zhou Yutang still recorded a video in advance to express his blessings and support.

After returning to Beijing, Zhou Yutang was not in a hurry to start the post-production work of "Dying to Survive".

Because of the company’s film and television project schedule in the second half of the year, the overall layout has basically been completed.

It was at this time.

The Jiangdong Building welcomed a special visitor - Chen Zhiheng, the director of film selection for Asia at the Venice Film Festival.

Normally, to participate in a film festival, one must go through the conventional registration process.

But international directors like Zhou Yutang, whose works have attracted much attention, undoubtedly enjoy privileges and can attract film selectors to come to them.

Chen Zhiheng had contacted Zhou Yutang in advance, and this time he visited him in person, which shows how much he values ​​Zhou Yutang.

"Mr. Zhou, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

He clasped his hands together and shook them vigorously.

Chen Zhiheng, who is exactly 40 years old this year, speaks Mandarin with a Zhejiang accent and has a warm smile on his face.

Although he is young, he has a lot of experience.

Since 2004, he has served as the Chinese-language film selector for the French Real Film Festival, the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival in France, and the Venice International Film Festival.

These include Jia Kechang's "The Good Man of Three Gorges", Li An's "Lust, Caution", Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises", and "A Simple Life", which won the Best Actress Award in Venice.

Even the fact that Tsai Shang-chun won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival in 2012 for her film "People Mountain and People Sea" was all the result of Chen Zhiheng's behind-the-scenes efforts.

besides.

Chen Zhiheng is also an expert at the National Institute of International Strategy for Cultural Development and concurrently serves as the director of the Silk Road International Film Festival.

As a veteran who has been working in the film industry for more than ten years, he has his own network of connections.

In particular, he knows the operation of film festival awards very well.

After the greetings, he quickly got to the point, took on the role of military advisor and began to give advice to Zhou Yutang.

"Mr. Zhou, Joker is a very wonderful art film. It is absolutely a wise choice to put it at the Venice Film Festival."

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Chen with the rest."

"No, it's an honor to serve Mr. Zhou."

In front of Zhou Yutang, Chen Zhiheng always maintained the necessary respectful attitude.

What he wants to earn is the profit brought by the information gap here.

To some extent, ever since Chen Zhiheng decided to push Zhou Yutang's "Joker" to Venice, the two have become a closely connected community of interests.

When one prospers, all prosper.

Zhou Yutang was also quite satisfied with the abilities demonstrated by Chen Zhiheng.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

The Venice Film Festival will not open until late August this year, so there is still at least four months to operate, so there is no rush.

On May Day, the box office of "Chasing the Dragon" continued to exceed 100 million yuan, firmly sitting on the throne of the Japanese champion.

Despite the strong momentum of "Shock Wave", the gap was further widened.

The first to fall was "Love in the Buff", without any surprise.

The advantages of first-mover marketing are fully demonstrated at this moment.

The organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival officially announced that Mr. Fan will serve as a jury member of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

The jury includes Will Smith, Jessica Chastain, Park Chan-wook, Paolo Sorrentino, Maren Ade, Agnès Chavilly and Gabriel Yarde.

"I am grateful for the recognition of the Cannes Film Festival, which is the highest temple of film art. I feel deeply honored and pressured to be one of the judges of the 70th Cannes Film Festival."

Teacher Fan is a decent person. He worked on the set for several nights and never forgot to post on Weibo:

"This is also a rare learning opportunity. I can see the best film of the year in the world. I will definitely complete the review work seriously."

"Zhou Yutang didn't want to be a judge himself, but instead sent Teacher Fan to be one, right?"

"That's Governor Zhou's good sister. She's the best person I've ever met."

"A double-A international A-level actress, well done to Teacher Fan, the pride of our domestic entertainment industry!"

"The Bingtang couple is as sweet as honey."

There was a huge discussion on the Internet, and the revived "Bingtang" CP started to make a restoration.

Before Teacher Fan.

There are only five Chinese actors who have served as judges for the Cannes main competition.

And they are all actresses, including Gong Li, Zhang Manyu, Yang Ziqiong, Zhang Ziyi, and Shu Qi.

Chinese-language filmmakers are invited to serve as judges at the world's most prestigious international film festival.

This is an honor, no doubt about it.

Today, Teacher Fan’s status in the domestic entertainment industry is as stable as it can be, and she is one of the top contemporary celebrities.

Zhou Yutang knew the news a long time ago, but seeing that she had been working day and night on the set to catch up with the progress, he showed some concern: "Teacher Fan, take care of your rest and don't stay up late."

"Huh, you still care about me?"

"What are you saying? You are my most beautiful sister Binbin, how can I not care?"

"You are so smooth-talking. I think you have a good heart."

Teacher Fan felt very happy when seeing Zhou Yutang's care.

I’m going to Cannes soon, and in order to catch up with the progress, I’ve been rehearsing for several days of late-night scenes.

I am a little tired, but there is nothing I can do about it.

After chatting about work for a while, Teacher Fan asked, "By the way, are you going to attend that regulatory conference?"

"You know this too?"

“I watch the news, too.”

Teacher Fan always pays special attention to Zhou Yutang's news.

There is even a small account lurking in a circle of senior fans of Zhou Yutang

Now is the Internet age.

Short video platforms have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Douyin, owned by ByteDance, lagged behind Kuaishou in its early stages, but it has its own algorithm and unique operating strategy.

Despite being chased and blocked by a number of powerful domestic competitors, we managed to carve out a path for ourselves.

Many senior experts in the industry regard the strong rise of Douyin as another brilliant stroke in Zhou Yutang's process of building the entire Jiangdong entertainment ecosystem.

Especially when Douyin was first launched, Zhou Yutang initiated several large-scale marketing campaigns in which he gave out money and red envelopes.

Its influence has broken through the circle and even been written into relevant professional textbooks, becoming a typical case in the marketing field.

No one can resist the great opportunity to take advantage of the rich.

After everyone posted compliments like "The boss is generous" and "The commander-in-chief is awesome", some people deleted their posts decisively.

But there are still a considerable number of new users who are attracted by the content customized by the TikTok algorithm and eventually stay.

After all, Tik Tok is really fun.

Just scrolling through the phone, an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.

Judging from the current market share, it can compete back and forth with Kuaishou, which has taken the lead, forming a top competitive landscape in the short video market.

It is far ahead of Tencent's Weishi, as well as Weibo and many other short video platforms.

Let's put the movie thing aside.

Zhou Yutang attended a conference held by higher authorities on strengthening Internet content supervision.

The short video and live streaming industries are booming, with venture capital pouring in, and it has evolved into a carnival feast with the participation of the entire nation.

Especially the live broadcast industry that relies on video platforms.

It is no longer limited to traditional shows, game live broadcasts and sports live broadcasts, but is gradually expanding into the field of pan-entertainment live broadcasts.

It radiates vertically to many fields such as e-commerce, music, outdoor, education, finance, etc.

It also provides a strong impetus for driving cultural consumption upgrades and promoting entrepreneurship and employment.

It's no exaggeration to say.

Short videos and live streaming are the trend of this era.

As long as it stands in the right place, a pig can take off.

“The live streaming industry has a lot to offer.”

Mr. Zhu, President of the China Performing Arts Association, spoke at the meeting:

"Last year, a village official from a poor area sold 100,000 orders of specialty agricultural products on Bilibili through live streaming, successfully driving the development of the local economy."

"However, the entire industry still has many problems exposed."

"Some people go to poor rural areas to do fake charity just to attract attention through live broadcasts. Some people even broadcast the cremation process in funeral homes, which seriously violates public order and good customs!"

"It is also filled with pornographic, violent and other illegal and illegal content, which is shocking!"

“There is a lot of chaos and improvement is urgently needed”

Mr. Zhu's voice is deafening and hits the nail on the head.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

Just look at China’s population base.

There will always be some people with bad intentions stirring up trouble.

There are also many people with low quality pouring into the live streaming industry.

Relevant departments have long paid attention to the chaos in the live streaming industry.

The official intervention this time aims to set up a network performance supervision branch to regulate industry order.

“I am grateful to the organization for providing such a platform and to the leaders for their trust.”

"The online live broadcast industry has shown an extremely rapid growth trend in terms of economic income, number of users, and influence."

It was Zhou Yutang's turn to speak. He stood tall and proud, his voice steady and powerful:

"Last year, the total revenue of online live streaming in my country reached 22 billion yuan, with more than 250 platforms and 344 million users. Among them, the penetration rate of netizens under 30 years old was 73.6%."

"We are currently in a special transition period. We need to maintain social stability and combine development with stability. We need to proceed in a scientific and prudent manner."

Based on the data report made by Chen Duling, Zhou Yutang slightly polished the speech manuscript.

“Huahuahua!”

"I propose that Zhou Yutang be appointed as the vice president of the Internet Performance Supervision Branch. Who is in favor and who is against?"

Mr. Zhu, Chairman of the China Performing Arts Industry Association, and the Longxuan bosses raised their hands in the audience.

"I choose Mr. Zhou, he will lead me into the global market!"

“Agree +1!”

The results are obvious.

The Grand Commander of Jiangdong, who holds an extraordinary status in the domestic entertainment industry, was also the popular choice in the joint vote at the meeting and was successfully elected as the vice president.

The burden of the two capitals and thirteen provinces is carried on his shoulders.

He also has to supervise millions of Internet celebrity sisters. The weightlifting champion in the entertainment industry belongs to
