Chapter 180 The dragon among men, the song of the immortals
October 1st arrived in a blink of an eye.
The motherland ushered in the first period of her life.
The news page of that day was dominated by the military parade.
Zhou Yutang also took a break for himself, holding the beauty in green who had just received the Feitian Vision, and watched the whole process.
Seeing the majestic army shaking the world and the war eagles breaking through the sky, I really felt the shock to my soul.
The Olympic Games has sounded the clarion call for a prosperous age, and the motherland has accelerated its rise. Today will surely become a striking coordinate in the future years of China's rise.
After the National Day.
Entertainment-related industries have also begun to gradually recover.
The first is the release of Huayi's "The Wind". Previously, Huayi has officially submitted a listing application to the GEM and is expected to be listed at the end of October. Zhou Yutang's name is also on the prospectus, and he has taken a lot of stocks, which attracted a lot of attention. There was a flurry of speculation in the media.
There are even outrageous rumors that Zhou Yutang wants to merge Jiangdong Entertainment into Huayi Company and become the majority shareholder of the listed company.
The box office performance of "The Wind" was also quite impressive, taking in 165 million at the box office during the National Day holiday. It outperformed other movies released during the same period, such as "Wolf", "Wheatfield", "Royal Tattoo", and "The Gentleman".
"Wheat Field" is also the work of director He Ping who has made "Two Flags Town" and spent several years of hard work. The total investment was more than 60 million. The box office after the National Day holiday was only 8.5 million. Fan Xiaopang called Zhou Yutang and expressed that he was very happy. Hurt because she is the heroine of this movie.
"Wolf Disaster" is the work of Zhou Yutang's teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang. This film was very artistic, but it was not recognized by the market. The final box office was more than 5 million.
That's what making movies is like.
Thousands of horses are silent, but only a few can stand out.
Someone is worried.
Naturally, some people are happy.
Except for "The Wind", which continues to surge towards 200 million at the box office, Han Sanping's "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is undoubtedly the biggest winner in the National Day season.
Even with the strong performance of "The Wind", "The Founding of a Republic" still maintains more than 35% of the film schedule, and the box office continues to grow steadily.
"Mr. Han, congratulations."
When Zhou Yutang saw Han Sanping in the office of the chairman of China Film Group, his face was red and his smile was so bright that even the creases at the corners of his eyes opened.
Nothing else.
According to the evaluation of professional organizations, if this trend continues, there will be no doubt that the box office of "The Founding of a Republic" will exceed 400 million.
Although it is impossible to break the box office record set by Zhou Yutang's Agent, it is also the second highest among domestic films.
Even though he was scolded as a bastard and said to have a domineering style of doing things, Han Sanping, who had experienced great storms, obviously didn't take it to heart.
The important thing is the tasks assigned by the organization, and he completed them quite decently.
This is enough.
Han Sanping stood up and made tea for Zhou Yutang, and said with a smile, "You have created quite a stir. The TV series "Star You" has been gaining momentum recently. When will it start airing?"
"December 22nd."
"Has the filming of the drama with Xiao Ma started?"
"The filming has started, and I will be joining the set soon."
"What were you doing there?"
Han Sanping lowered his crossed legs in surprise.
"A guest appearance."
Zhou Yutang raised the teacup, took a sip, and smacked his mouth: "Tsk! It must be Mr. Han's tea. It tastes really good. I'll take some back later."
"You kid, I've already wrapped it up for you."
Mid-October.
"Sword Rain" starts shooting in Hengdian.
A few days later, Zhou Yutang also joined the group.
He actually played the male lead in "Sword Rain".
This is Zhang Renfeng before his disguise. According to the script, he is the son of a grand master, a true dragon among men, and possesses a mysterious martial arts heritage.
That big opening scene.
The Black Stone Wheel King learned that the upper half of Rama's body was in the residence of the imperial master who supported the emperor, and activated the highest level of killing order.
The black stone killers came out in full force, just to bloodbath the Grand Master's Mansion.
This night.
Zhou Yutang, alone with his sword, fought hard against dozens of killers from the Blackstone Killer Organization. On the premise of killing several killers, he also blocked the three killer trump cards of Cai Xishi Lian Sheng, Hidden Weapon King Lei Bin, and Xiao Yu. Finally, the King of Wheels entered in person. Only then did the murderous murder of the whole family be completed.
The original drama was just killed off.
Zhou Yutang slightly fleshed out the character of the show-off king Jiang Asheng.
In this way, the audience won't find it inexplicable why the male protagonist suddenly has such powerful martial arts after watching it.
After the battle of annihilation, Zhou Yutang was seriously injured and determined to take revenge, so he used the magic of Li Gui's hand to transform into Deng Chao, which triggered the subsequent story
The actress in Drizzle found Da Meiyuan.
Zhou Zhiruo, the black version of Da Meiyuan, is one of a kind. She also played the role of the Japanese female killer Yagyu Piaoxue in "The Best in the World".
It wouldn't be a big problem for her to play the cold-faced iceberg killer Xiao Yu.
It happened that she also had a schedule, so Zhou Yutang came to Hengdian with Da Meiyuan.
"Yu Tang is here."
The boss came in person, and director Su Zhaobing and the creative crew were waiting for him at the hotel. Tang Yan looked at the message on her phone and suddenly shouted.
Su Zhaobing, Zhang Jing, and several people behind the scenes who had defected to Zhouyi Company suddenly stood up.
Huang Yuetai, Xi Zhongwen, Dong Wei and others also stood up.
These guys are all veterans and know very well that they need to show respect to their investors and bosses.
Su Zhaobing took the initiative to introduce, and Zhou Yutang smiled and shook hands, "Brother Tai, I have admired your name for a long time. I like your film "New Longmen Inn" the most."
This man is a real master in the photography industry. Classic works such as "A Chinese Ghost Story", "New Dragon Gate Inn", "Once Upon a Time" and "Painted Skin" were all produced by him during the golden period of Hong Kong films.
"Brother Wen, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
Xi Zhongwen is also a top talent in fashion design in Hong Kong. Nominations and awards for the Hong Kong Film Awards are commonplace, and he has also been nominated for the Golden Horse Awards more than a dozen times.
"Viagra, please give me some advice."
Dong Wei studied Peking Opera with Fen Juhua when he was a child, and also made movies with Bruce Lee. Zhou Yutang remembers the rebellious Xiao Gao very clearly in "The Detective".
Zhou Yutang greeted them one by one, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone knows that Zhou Yutang is the boss. I heard that he kicked Wu Yusen out after giving him a hard time. The three of them were actually a little panicked when Su Zhaobing invited them to the Sword Rain crew.
But I didn't expect that Da Shuihong was very talkative and could even tell the famous works of several people, which immediately made people feel warm. Moreover, he had a very unique personality charm that seemed to bring everyone closer together.
The main purpose of meeting today is to stabilize the morale of the military.
Su Zhaobing is not a great director, and Zhou Yutang's assistant director Wen Muye and producer Chen Xi are not important enough.
As the boss, Zhou Yutang will definitely come to control the situation.
There was a night show in the evening, so we didn't drink at noon, but we had quite a congenial chat.
Although Tang Yan is a popular actress, she only works in the TV industry. She basically has no place in such a dinner party, so she sits quietly and obediently across from Zhou Yutang.
During the dinner, she heard Zhou Yutang ask everyone to take more care of her. She was immediately flattered and took the initiative to lift the cup: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. There is still shooting today, so I will give you a drink instead of wine."
After saying that, without any hesitation, I finished the entire cup.
After sitting down again and feeling the eyes of the people around her that seemed to be closer and more respectful, Tang Yan felt really grateful.
She learned about Zhou Yutang's schedule in a private chat, and came to the set early to wait.
Liu Shishi had a schedule conflict and was delayed in joining the cast. She didn't know anyone on the set. She only worked with Song Xiaotao in "Sword and Sword 3" and could chat with her for a few words.
It would take some time for Deng Chao to join the group. The rest, Yu Feihong, Wang Xuexi and others, are all seniors. Jin Shijie, Li Zonghan and others are all from the Bay Province. They are not familiar with each other, so naturally they can't talk to each other.
Now that Zhou Yutang has said this, everyone knows that this is Zhou Yutang's friend. Even though Tang Yan doesn't have many roles, she can't help but take extra care of her.
One sentence.
Just make your situation better.
Tang Yan's heart was filled with gratitude, and she didn't know where the impulse came from. She quietly stretched her foot out from under the table and rubbed Zhou Yutang's calf through her clothes.
"?"
Zhou Yutang thought it was Da Meiyuan next to him who was causing trouble, so he lightly patted Da Meiyuan's thigh when no one was paying attention. Instead, Da Meiyuan was slightly stunned and gave Zhou Yutang a slightly annoyed look.
Look down.
Only then did I realize something was wrong.
Zhou Yutang glanced at Tang Yan lightly, "What do you want to do?"
It was probably the first time that Tang Yan was so bold. She realized that she was a little abrupt and retracted her long legs with a blush.
This was just a small episode in the lively dinner, and no one cared about it.
Zhou Yutang communicated with Zhang Jing and several people behind Zhou Yi, and then came to Tang Yan: "Why are you here so early?"
Tang Yanran smiled: "I don't have many roles. I finish filming early and have to go back to "Classmates". After it's over, I have to rush to the next crew."
"What drama?"
"The TV series "Pandaman" directed by Jay Chou."
Tang Yan had a look of pride on her face: "I earned this through my own hard work."
"Pandaman" is an idol drama TV series directed by Jay Chou and starring Song Jianzhang, Tang Yan, Zhan Yuhao, Tian Jingquan, Jiang Yuchen, and Wang Jing, which integrates science fiction, music, idols, and high-tech special effects.
It tells the story of two sunny boys full of justice and challenges who transformed into Panda Superman and Panda Man to protect the safety of Guangming City.
Jay Chou himself also made a cameo appearance in it, and also invited a large number of celebrity friends to appear in the film.
The heroine is Jiang Yuchen. Last year, she and classmate Zhou filmed an advertisement for Youlemei milk tea, and became famous for a while with the line "Turns out I am milk tea."
It sounds awesome, a bit like a Chinese version of a superhero, but it's actually not the same thing.
Zhou Yutang remembered this drama when Tang Yan mentioned it. Not long ago, after Jay Chou's concert, he made a special call and asked him to help see if there was anything that could be improved in the script.
"Why are you laughing?"
Tang Yan saw Zhou Yutang suppressing a smile and shook his arm coquettishly.
Zhou Yutang waved his hand, "It's nothing, just don't act if you can."
"The contract is signed."
Tang Yan was a little shaken when she heard this: "Chou himself is also there, and there are also many stars such as Yan Chengxu, Yu Wenle, Pan Weibai and so on."
"Then there's nothing we can do."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a smile: "Didn't you make a movie this year?"
""Wind and Cloud 2" is a resource provided by the company. It's just this one drama, and then I won't be taken care of."
Tang Yan was quite speechless and complained about Chengtian culture to Zhou Yutang.
Wu Kebo, the boss of Chengtian, only thinks about going public to make money, and does not want to run an entertainment company at all.
This year, Tang Yan played the role of Chu Chu in "The Storm 2". The starring roles of this drama are Aaron Kwok, Ekin Cheng, Simon Yam, and Tse Ting-feng. It is also considered a big production in Hong Kong films, but Tang Yan's role is still below that of Cai Zhuoyan, and it is probably cut. Not many shots.
"Yu Tang, does your company have any dramas coming next year?"
Facing the expectant light in Tang Yan's beautiful eyes, Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead. He felt a little big-headed and couldn't bear to refuse: "There is a "The Legend of Zhen Huan", you can come over and try it out."
In the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Zeng Li has locked her eyes on Zhen Huan.
But there are too many other female characters, and when the time comes they will all have to choose concubines nationwide, so having one more Tang Yan in the harem is nothing.
"Really?"
"real."
A bright smile instantly bloomed on Tang Yan's face, and she said softly: "Yu Tang, thank you."
"."
Zhou Yutang felt something was wrong.
Why is Tang Yan getting more and more coquettish?
The night is dark and windy, a good night for killing people.
Outside the Grand Master's Mansion.
A killing is in progress.
Dozens of strong men in black took advantage of the darkness to arrive and instantly eliminated the few servants guarding the door.
Then sneak into Zhang Mansion.
Zhou Yutang has profound skills, sharp ears and eyesight. He has already sensed murderous intent in the house, his face changed, and he instantly had the jagged sword in his hand.
boom!
Several men in black rushed in from the door and window in an instant. Zhou Yutang's figure suddenly accelerated, and with a sharp turn of his sword, he killed several men in black and exclaimed in shock: "You are from Black Stone!"
"That's right! I was ordered to bloodbath the Grand Master's Mansion tonight."
"Hand over Rama's body and keep your whole body!"
The three killers Xiao Yu, Lei Bin, and Cai Xishi appear together.
What followed was a short but exciting fight scene. In the end, the King of Chakravartin killed Taishi Zhang with one sword stroke, which caused Zhou Yutang to feel confused. He was besieged by the three ace killers of the Blackstone organization and finally fell down.
"Click!"
Su Zhaobing, who was behind the monitor, was obviously very satisfied with the fight scene and immediately shouted: "OK, passed!"
"The boss invites everyone to have a midnight snack."
"Mr. Zhou is awesome!"
There was a burst of cheers from the crew.
I thought this night scene would be shot all night long, but it was completed early, which meant that I could finish work early and have a delicious late-night snack.
Zhou Yutang sat at the same table with Zhang Jing, Dong Wei and others, making some wheat juice.
Zhang Jing toasted with a glass of wine and asked with some surprise: "Boss, I see that your fighting scenes are very smooth. It seems that you have practiced?"
Tonight's exciting action scene at the beginning was jointly designed by Zhang Jing and Dong Wei.
"I practiced with teacher Yu Chenghui for a while."
"It turns out to be Senior Yu."
Zhang Jing was in awe: "Famous teachers produce great disciples. The boss's waist and abdomen are really strong and his body is very tough."
"It's really hard."
Zhou Yutang smiled and glanced meaningfully at Da Meiyuan. Da Meiyuan instantly understood and blushed.
No matter how busy he is, he always takes time to work out, and he practices according to Yu Lao Chuan's method. Not only does the waist and horse become one, but it also strengthens the kidneys and body.
Regarding this, Dameiyuan has a deep understanding of this.
"Sharp!"
Dong Wei also gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Your talent is really amazing. I have been a martial arts instructor for many years, and I have only seen it on Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Mr. Zhou will make more kung fu movies in the future. There is a chance to become the second Kung Fu Emperor."
This sounds like a rainbow fart, but it is actually Dong Wei's true thoughts.
A layman looking at the excitement can only see Zhou Yutang playing beautifully, but an expert looking at the doorstep can see that Zhou Yutang has a good physical foundation.
Kung Fu superstars of every generation, such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li, all have physical talents that are different from ordinary people.
"I'll talk about it again when I have the chance. The action design of Viagra is also very exciting. The fight scene at night was very enjoyable."
Zhou Yutang also followed the business and encouraged each other.
The filming of the fight scene ended at 2:30 in the morning. He invited the crew to have a late-night snack to strengthen their relationship, and then stayed in Hengdian for two more days before the filming was officially completed.
I've been back to the capital for a few days.
Liu Yifei also posted her new song on her Sina Weibo.
She originally played Sohu blog, but this time she was dragged to Sina by Zhou Yutang.
The main reason is that Zhou Yutang has a good relationship with Sina, and Sina Weibo even spent a lot of money on advertising and promotion of "My Love from the Star".
Then I had to say sorry to Teacher Zhang from Sohu.
Sohu is also developing Weibo functions, but it is one step behind Sina. Sina's Weibo technical functions are quite mature and currently support the publication of text, video, music, and pictures, with a character limit of 140 characters.
Its characteristic is that it is biased toward entertainment. Currently, Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei are considered the first batch of celebrity artists to enter Sina Weibo.
Zhou Yutang is a well-deserved top influencer on Sina Weibo.
Since joining Sina Weibo, most accounts are logged in with a work mobile phone, so Mao Xiaoyu is responsible for it. However, he occasionally shares some random landscape photos and work status. Currently, he has more than 160,000 fans. And the average daily number of fans is around 10,000.
Liu Yifei currently has more than 100,000 followers.
In the early days, the majority of fans on Sina Weibo were living people.
Liu Yifei posted this Weibo post.
Just one night.
It immediately triggered a huge response.
