Chapter 295 The uncrowned king returns with a full load
Just look at Wang Bao's appearance.
He is an honest person who is a bit naive and a bit silly.
But whoever really thinks of him as a fool is really stupid.
To be able to get into a front-line position in the mixed entertainment industry, Bao Yi is still very clear-headed.
He is also very honest with his friends.
Zhou Yutang himself has a very good mind and likes to associate with such real people.
The two have also collaborated on several projects, and their relationship is closer than ordinary friends.
But no matter how close a friend is, he must be measured and never make irresponsible remarks about his wife.
Seeing Wang Bao's face indulging in happiness at this time, Zhou Yutang knew what he was thinking and sighed softly in his heart.
This time he came here for another purpose, which was to promote the "Thieves Alliance" platform. The materials had been prepared in advance. There were more posters for "Thieves Alliance" in the movie exhibition area.
Just the photos of Zhou Yutang, Fan Binbin and Liu Tianwang standing there attracted countless eyes.
There are also people like Zeng Li, Lin Yuner, etc., who are also very influential.
This blockbuster co-produced by the two countries has attracted many foreign film producers.
"Director Zhou, Jiangdong Entertainment has invested in this film "Mr. Tree" which has been shortlisted for the Cannes main competition. Do you want to transition into making art films?"
Where there is Zhou Yutang, traffic is inevitable, and many media have focused on "Mr. Tree".
Follow Zhou Yutang's previous filmmaking routine.
From the establishment of a movie project to the start of filming to the end, media exposure is indispensable.
But this "Mr. Tree" is unprecedentedly low-key.
Many media haven't even received the news, and the filming was completed quietly. If it hadn't been nominated for Cannes and gained some exposure, few would have paid attention to such a literary film from a new director and cost only 2 million.
"After watching this movie, I believe you will have a new understanding of Bao's acting skills."
Zhou Yutang accepted a wave of media interviews and greatly appreciated Wang Baoyu's acting skills.
Soon, the movie poster of "Mr. Tree" appeared on the headlines on major entertainment portals together with "A League of Thieves".
This is a slightly desolate movie poster.
The base note is a vibrant green lawn.
Wang Baoer is wearing a gray suit.
With a sunny smile on his face, he ran with open arms.
Behind him is a dead tree.
This poster is really well done.
Clash of colors.
The people watching felt desolate in their hearts.
"It's still Zhou Yutang."
Chief Jia was scrolling through the news on his mobile phone. He was very emotional and started thinking: "How about it, Yu Tang, are you interested in acting in a literary film? In the next movie, you can be the leading actor for me."
With both acting skills and traffic, it can ensure the film's exposure, and if Zhou Yutang can be hired as the leading actor, there may even be hope of a box office hit.
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and smiled, somewhat teasingly: "Director Jia, isn't your leading actor the Qing Emperor?"
"What Qingdi?"
Section Chief Jia was a little confused.
"I'm talking about Liao Fan."
"You're not bad either. I've seen "Big Shot" and you don't look like you acted in it."
Section Chief Jia was in a good mood and joked.
Han Jie, his brother who has been with him for many years, has been nominated for many prestigious awards this time.
As a brother, Section Chief Jia also felt that it was very honorable.
Old Qin people.
The style is relatively rough.
It’s about brotherhood.
Zhou Yutang took the time to visit Tangren Film and Television.
Cai Yinong knew that he was in the Magic City, and he invited him to come and sit there several times.
There were several days from the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony of the film festival, and Zhou Yutang felt reassured by the presence of people watching.
""Bu Bu Jing Xin" will be broadcast soon. Shi Shi has a lot of variety show schedules during this period. Can you arrange for her to go to the "Running Man" variety show in the second season of the previous episode?"
"Come on with "The Voice."
"It's a deal!"
Double happiness was coming, and Cai Yinong was so afraid that he would regret it, that he could hardly close his mouth when he smiled.
Logically speaking, Magic Channel and Mango Channel are in a competitive position. "Running Man" and "The Voice" are Magic Channel's flagship programs, and they rarely promote dramas broadcast on other TV stations.
But Zhou Yutang just has this face.
With just one word, he can ask the program teams on both sides to make two plans.
When talking about the TV series project, Cai Yinong couldn't help but feel a little envious: "The "Shanshan Is Coming" produced by your company has been very popular overseas. A single episode on YouTube has almost two million views, which is very different from last year's hit "Shanshan Is Coming". The single episode of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is almost played"
"Is it hot?"
Zhou Yutang, however, was very calm: "It's okay, "My Love from the Star" is what makes it popular."
He has also seen the professional analysis report of the TV drama business department. The main audience is Southeast Asia, which is very addictive.
"."
Cai Yinong was speechless.
Everyone's standards are different.
A drama like "Shan Shan Is Coming" may not be available on Tangren Film and Television even if it takes a year.
But when it comes to Jiangdong Entertainment, it’s just normal.
Low-cost youth dramas are the foundation of Jiangdong Entertainment. Whether it is the pioneering work "Want to Meet You", or the "Classmates" series, or "Hello, Old Time", the ratings and influence are not as high as "Shanshan Is Here" Down.
I am currently discussing "Henmark in the Sky" with Tang Dynasty. The preparatory work for this drama is almost done and is expected to start filming in late June.
"I really didn't expect that Jiang Xueyuan would follow you."
When Cai Yinong first heard that Zhouyi Company was splitting up, he felt as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.
At the beginning, the circle called him and Jiang Xueruo the two strong women in the TV drama industry.
The Zhouyi Company's initial momentum was not weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty, but as a result, it built a high-rise building, but it collapsed instantly.
Jiang Xueyuan took her Zhou Yi team to defect to Zhou Yutang. This time the "Horn of the Sky" project is also a joint venture between the two companies, with Cai Yinong and Jiang Xueyuan serving as producers at the same time.
"When people go to higher places, she just made the right choice at the moment."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly. While talking to Cai Yinong, his cell phone rang. When he picked it up, he immediately prepared to leave: "Sister K, I'm leaving first. There's something else going on over there."
"What's wrong? Do you need my help?"
"No, it's a matter of overseas distribution of the film."
Zhou Yutang simply said goodbye and walked away.
Cai Yinong shook his head.
As for the movie, she really can’t reach it.
As a top major project in both countries, "A League of Thieves" was vigorously promoted, and foreign film producers soon contacted it.
Neon Sony fell in love with the movie, and the person in charge there made an appointment with Zhou Yutang at the hotel.
After watching the trailer, the Sony team quickly made a decision after a round of discussions: "There is a saying in Neon that Zhou Sang is the mythical crown prince who has never failed in the Chinese entertainment industry, and Showbox has obtained the distribution in South Korea. , Sony is interested in distributing the film on Neon."
"What Crown Prince?"
"Zhou Sang's outstanding record in the entertainment industry has spread to Neon. The media there calls Zhou Sang the undefeated mythical crown prince in the entertainment industry!"
"."
Neon Man, who has a good life in his childhood, loves to play awkwardly. Zhou Yutang is very professional and expressed his intention to cooperate without changing his face.
The negotiations went smoothly.
After confirming the intention, the next step is for Zhou Yutang's business negotiation team to determine the distribution of interests with Sony's people.
Anyway.
If this movie can be released on Neon, it will further boost box office figures in Asia.
This film exhibition can be regarded as a harvest.
Shanghai Grand Theater.
On the red carpet at the closing ceremony.
The stars are shining brightly.
Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon and actor Matt Dillon also came to support the event.
This time many neon people came.
Kenichi Kamimatsuyama, Tomohisa Yamashita, Toma Ikuta, Shunji Iwai, etc. are all famous figures in the film industry.
Actresses from all walks of life were busy vying for beauty, and Zhou Yutang and Liu Tianwang walked on the red carpet together.
Instantly, the scene was filled with screams and shouts like a tsunami.
Countless spears and cannons were aimed at the popular king and queen from different directions.
"Ah Tang, your fans are so amazing."
King Liu Tian couldn't help but sigh, Jiangdong Navy is really at its peak.
When I just walked over, the name that people around me shouted the most was Zhou Yutang.
"Brother Hua, I'm far worse than you. Your fans are really die-hard."
The host of the red carpet was Zhou Yutang's old friend Chen Chen. This sister was very good at getting things done. She first asked Andy Lau: "Brother Hua, what do you think of working with Zhou Yutang in "Thieves"?"
"First of all, I am very happy to have this opportunity. When Ah Tang found me, I was a little excited. After working with him on the crew for more than a month, I realized why he is the top commercial film director in China."
Liu Tianwang is an old man and can handle such small scenes with ease.
"Brother Hua's acting skills are very good. I am very happy to work with him."
"Yu Tang, another movie "Mr. Tree" you produced has received many nominations. How many awards do you think it can win?"
"Of course I hope to win an award. After all, the quality of this film is very good."
Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "It still depends on the judges."
Enter after signing.
Zhou Yutang's position is in the first row.
I was with Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun, several film group bosses.
Ren Zhonglun leaned forward and spoke: "Yu Tang, I heard that Jiangdong Entertainment is going to make a movie called "Xiu Chun Dao" in the second half of the year?"
The attention of several top leaders nearby was also attracted, and Zhou Yutang was a little helpless: "Mr. Ren, you are too well-informed. This project has not been confirmed yet."
He invited experts who specialized in Ming history to help Lu Yang perfect various details in "Xiu Chun Dao".
The award ceremony begins.
The chairman of this year's Golden Goblet Award jury is American director Barry Levinson. After delivering a speech, the formal awards ceremony soon came.
In the first Asian Newcomer Award, Neon Movie stole the show.
A slight arc appeared at the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth.
Having been in the industry for several years, he is quite experienced.
This Asian Newcomer Award can only be regarded as an appetizer, the main event is yet to come.
As expected, the Chinese film "The Man Sings Folk Songs at the Opposite Door" won the Best Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Music Awards.
Wang Baohao, who was nominated for the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor, was defeated. In the end, the trophy was won by Sevukat Emula of the Turkish film "The Woman Who Can't Afford to Hurt".
Unfortunately, Saivouket was unable to come to Shanghai to receive the award in person due to illness and surgery. The director of the film accepted the trophy on his behalf and made a speech.
"Baoqiang, your performance is definitely worthy of the Best Actor Award."
People around him comforted Wang Baoyu, who was a little disappointed. The award ceremony was still going on. The next award was the Best Director Award.
Zhou Yutang clearly felt that Han Jie was breathing quickly and stared at the stage closely.
The presenters for the Best Director Award were Chen Yingxiong and Shunji Iwai. The two did not show off and quickly announced the final result: "The winner of the Best Director Award is Han Jie, for "Mr. Tree". Congratulations."
Han Jie was so excited that his eyes were red and his fists were clenched. He stood up and hugged Zhou Yutang, Section Chief Jia, Wang Bao and others next to him.
After taking the stage, Han Jie held the trophy in his hand and said with emotion: "Actually, my dream is to be a photographer. I didn't expect to win this award. Being a director is very hard. Sometimes I have a split personality and I have to control myself.
I would like to thank Section Chief Jia for the encouragement, and also thank Wang Baorong and the cast for their wonderful performances. Most importantly, I would like to thank my investor Zhou Yutang, who gave me a lot of valuable advice. "
"Without him, this movie might not have been possible."
At the end of his simple speech, the audience burst into applause.
Zhou Yutang also applauded gently, and Mr. Han beside him asked: "Yu Tang, do you have any ideas for making a literary film?"
"In the second half of the year, there is a literary film to be made."
"You have quite a lot of ideas."
Han Sanping expressed full affirmation: "Young people, just try more and win a prize another day. I am optimistic about you."
The Best Film Award is still "The Woman Who Can't Afford to Hurt", and the final Jury Prize is left. Li Qiankuan and Hui Yinghong announced the Jury Prize.
Hui Yinghong opened the card, glanced in the direction of Zhou Yutang, and gently spit out the final result:
"The winner of the jury award is Mr. Tree. Congratulations."
Although it's a pity that I couldn't win the best actor crown, it's a great achievement to be able to win the best director award and the jury award.
