Chapter 366: Berlin is shortlisted, double happiness

Chapter 366: Berlin is shortlisted, double happiness

"囧囧" is also rampant in the Lunar New Year season.

After the single-day box office approached 70 million for two consecutive days, it inevitably fell back to just over 50 million.

After five days of release in the first week, the box office revenue was RMB 258 million. After seven days of release, the total box office is expected to be RMB 400 million.

It is just one step away from breaking the box office record for comedy films held by "The Lost Way".

However, this is just the beginning.

Film production companies in the industry are extremely envious.

In such a big Lunar New Year period, corpses are everywhere due to such a comedy.

Watching Zhou Yutang make a lot of money was even more uncomfortable than losing money themselves.

For a time, I don’t know how many comedy films were approved, and professionals from all walks of life in the industry began to jump in and analyze.

"This momentum cannot be stopped, it has completely taken off."

"800 million, definitely more than 900 million, it's possible, or even higher."

"I want to fly higher, fly higher, dance like the wind, break free from the embrace"

In the Ktv, Zhou Yutang looked at Liu Yifei who transformed into Mai Ba, and always felt that this girl seemed to have changed a little after the New Year.

"What are you looking at?"

Feeling that Zhou Yutang's eyes were always on her, Miss Liu flicked her hair and said deliberately fiercely.

It's still a bit cold in early spring, but Miss Liu is very unrestrained.

The black suit jacket was thrown aside by her, and she wore a navel-baring lace-up shirt on her upper body, paired with wide-leg pants. The exposed waist line was not as plump as those of those paper beauties, but it gave people a very smooth feeling.

"Classmate Xiao Liu."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and praised: "The clothing quality has improved a lot."

This outfit is simple but stylish. It is much more refreshing and beautiful than the leopard print ripped jeans she wore before.

"snort."

Liu Yifei flipped her hair arrogantly and said proudly: "You have a good vision."

After Shu Chang showed off the fruit plate, he wiped his mouth and revealed it mercilessly: "This is what Sissi bought for her when she went shopping with her aunt during the Chinese New Year."

She had only spoken half a sentence when she was ruthlessly suppressed by Liu Tianxian.

Seeing the two best friends laughing and playing, Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "You are going to join the "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", right?"

"I will join the group after the Lantern Festival."

Shu Changzhan smiled and said: "Boss Zhou, your movie "Celebrating More Than Years" is really great. It's still in the process of casting, but it's making headlines every day. Today, Miss Mou is going to be in the position, and tomorrow, Sissi will be playing the role of Chicken Leg Girl."

"How come I didn't know I was going to star?"

Liu Yifei put down the microphone and said, "There are so many costume dramas starting this year."

Just like "Insidious" made spy dramas popular two years ago, since "The Legend of Zhen Huan" brought Qing palace dramas to the limelight, Qing palace dramas became popular in the entire TV drama market last year.

Apart from the hit "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and "Gong Lock Heart Jade", there are many Qing palace dramas of the same type on the market, but they are all hits.

There were rumors last year, and since the beginning of this year, orders have been issued from above.

Any dramas involving time travel and palace battles are subject to restrictions.

The Qing Dynasty palace drama that was a hit last year suddenly collapsed, and "Celebrating More Than Years" had the edge of time travel. It only passed the review after revising the script and a series of public relations operations.

All the major costume dramas launched this year have avoided the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to "Celebrating More Than Years", "Jing Zhong Yue Fei" is controlled by Enlight and Xinli Media, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" produced by Wanda and Huanrui, and "Chu" co-produced by Bona and Beijing Perfect Pictures and several TV stations. "Legends of the Han Dynasty" is about a hundred flowers blooming.

"Sissi, the movie "Reply 1997" that just aired is really good. I highly recommend it."

"It's also a drama produced by Xiao Zhou's company, and it seems to be starring Yang Mi."

"Hmm, I just discovered this treasure TV series. I caught up with the latest updated episode on Station B last night."

The two best friends got together after the New Year and seemed to have endless things to talk about.

After Zhou Yutang finished replying to the work message, he turned to Shu Chang and asked, "What do you think of station B?"

"It's very good. You can watch videos for free and there are many anime. It's very convenient."

"Changchang, that's also a video website created by Xiao Zhou."

Liu Yifei laughed softly.

"Boss Zhou, your business is too big."

Shu Chang was stunned for a moment, and then his heart moved slightly: "Can you let me watch the following episodes in advance? I can buy them with money!"

"Just wait."

Zhou Yutang smiled: "It will be broadcast simultaneously with the TV station."

He and Tian Ming jointly invested in Bilibili, and there was also another investor.

It's just that the operation strategy has not been decided yet. After a while, Zhou Yutang will have to go to Shanghai to have a meeting together.

"It will take a long time to wait for the update."

Shu Chang had a depressed expression on his face.

Liu Yifei kept her eyes on Zhou Yutang and smiled: "Xiao Zhou, I read on the news that your film "Search" seems to have a chance to be shortlisted for the Berlin Main Competition."

"Boss, the latest shortlist includes "Search"!"

Mao Xiaoyu trotted into the office with excitement and excitement.

"Let me see."

I worked overtime at the hotel to cultivate myself last night and had another meeting in the morning. Zhou Yutang was catching up on his sleep on the sofa.

After hearing the news, I immediately got up, turned on my computer, and entered the official website of the Berlin Film Festival.

The latest item on the home page is the last batch of finalists for the main competition unit that have just been announced. The extremely eye-catching movie poster is Gao Yuanyuan.

Mao Xiaoyu couldn't help but praise: "Sister Yuanyuan is so beautiful."

Zhou Yutang looked at that line of English, a slight arc appeared at the corner of his mouth,

""Caught in the Web", by Yu Tang Zhou"

In order to win over Zhou Yutang to film in Ningbo, the local government hired Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film Group to act as a middleman.

The local government gave the green light and invested a lot of money in this filming, and Ningbo Radio and Television Group also took part of the share.

Immediately after receiving the news, Ningbo officials directly issued a press release to build momentum after communication.

This money is really not in vain.

Zhou Yutang's film was shortlisted for Berlin's main competition, and its advertisements were distributed abroad. You can imagine how much positive impact it will have on the city of Ningbo.

If you successfully build a cultural city, isn't promotion just around the corner?

There are also many media with powerful media that bring the latest news about the Berlin Film Festival.

"Search, directed by Chinese mainland director Zhou Yutang, has been shortlisted for the main competition and is expected to win the prize!"

"Zhou Yutang is the youngest director at this year's Berlin Film Festival. He is competing for the Berlin Film Festival for the first time and successfully entered the finals."

"Zhou Yutang, the billionaire director in China, goes abroad and points his sword at Berlin."

"Revealing the behind-the-scenes stories of the crew of "Search" for you"

The headlines of major domestic entertainment portals were directly contracted by Zhou Yutang.

First, the Spring Festival Gala's "Happy Twist" entered the public's attention. "Thailand" is also soaring in the film market, and another film has been shortlisted for Berlin.

When the nominations for Wang Quan'an's "White Deer Plain" were announced, there was not as much enthusiasm as Zhou Yutang.

Even directors Zhang Yimou and Xu Ke were overshadowed by Zhou Yutang.

Ren Zhonglun's secretary found that his leader was in a good mood. Ever since he learned that Zhou Yutang's "Search" had been nominated, the smile on his face had not dropped.

Although the Shanghai Film Group only got 10% of the film, he brought Zhou Yutang and the Ningbo government to promote the project.

As long as the movie wins awards, he will be a Bole. Ren Zhonglun called Zhou Yutang impatiently: "Yu Tang, when are you going to Berlin?"

"In a few days."

Zhou Yutang also responded to Han Sanping in the same way.

This is his first time nominating the top three companies. He will have to go there in advance to meet with Haitui Company.

"China Film Overseas Promotion Company can also help you operate it."

Han Sanping spoke on the spot.

He set his sights on large-scale commercial films. He did not take this artistic film seriously at the time, and China Film Group did not participate in the investment.

Now that the news of being shortlisted for Berlin has come back, Mr. Han feels a little regretful and babbles like a little old man: "Look at Lao Ren's face."

The dean of the film school also called: "Yu Tang, there will be an alumni meeting in a few days. If you are free, come over."

"Dean, I really can't spare the time."

Zhou Yutang directly pushed: "We have to go to Berlin in advance."

I have to say that Dean Zhang is really capable of causing trouble.

We held a reunion meeting for the 30th anniversary of the graduation of the Class of 1978.

We invited Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Li Shaohong, Zhang Fengyi and other fifth-generation directors and actors in the industry, as well as some celebrities from the film academy.

It's a bit like Beiyingshantou in the circle.

"Okay, I'll go to Berlin this time and try to come back with a prize. For this year's school art exam, you must remember to come back and help check it."

"Dean, I."

Zhou Yutang was about to refuse when he was interrupted by the mature Dean Zhang with a smile: "There will always be a squeeze. The school has even prepared your banner."

"I've calculated the time and it will be just right when you come back from Berlin."

"Dean Zhang, did you really catch me and pluck a sheep?"

"What are you talking about? You are the glory and pride of our Nortel, and you have to set an example for the future juniors and girls."

"."

Jiang is still very old. This old man has a very deep routine and is well versed in Zhou Shuren's theory of opening windows. He deliberately talked about the alumni association first and then the art test. Zhou Yutang was speechless for a while.

On the film school side, they have worked tirelessly to recruit him for several consecutive years.

He was on the cover of Nortel's brochure for several years, and he was invited to be an art exam examiner every year.

"Then I'll adjust the schedule again."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly, but in the end he did not refuse.

When people are in a circle, sometimes they really can't help themselves.

The news that "Search" was shortlisted for Berlin's main competition soon spread within the circle, and his work phone was exploding again.

Even those who were not very close to each other sent congratulatory text messages with great enthusiasm at this time.

As for close old friends, contact his personal number directly.

Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun called immediately, and Xiaoma's big dog brothers, Wang Changtian, Ning Hao and others also sent messages.

Familiar friends all know that Zhou Yutang has been using his authority recently, and Huang Xiaoming, Fan Binbin, Hu Jing, Hu Ge, Tang Yan, Yang Mi and others are not far behind.

"Mimi, have you called Mr. Zhou?"

"The phone is always on, maybe too busy."

Da Mimi's eyes were sparkling and her smile was extremely happy.

Although it was a small blow to her to sing out of tune during the Spring Festival Gala.

But standing on the biggest stage, after all, she also earned a lot of exposure, and Damimi felt that she was not at a loss.

A year later, "Reply 1997" premiered to great acclaim, and "Search" was shortlisted for the Berlin Main Competition. It can be said to be a double blessing.

Although she is not the lead actor, she can still go there with the crew.

After all, he also played a key supporting role in this drama.

Of course, it is impossible to miss such a good opportunity to raise your profile.

By the time.

As soon as the red carpet is gone, the press release is sent out.

If Zhou Yutang wins the award, he can follow suit.

Thanks for the monthly ticket support.

I'm very curious, how come there are people who cast 3 monthly votes in the double mode?
