Chapter 370 The old artist Mr. Zhou makes a lot of money

Chapter 370 The old artist Mr. Zhou makes a lot of money

Accidentally, it became Nortel Glory.

This wave belongs to the passive manifestation of saints in front of people.

Zhou Yutang felt a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do.

Just like the classic dialogue between Dumbledore educating Jimmy Tsai in the famous film "Dragon City\

,""Aren't you from the society? Don't you have a share?"

"I want to make money, but I'm not willing to contribute. How can there be such a cheap thing? Throw it away!"

We are a socialist country and we must have a collective concept.

The achievements he has made are worthy of praise, and the school’s training is indispensable.

When Zhou Yutang just started, he did get a lot of benefits from the school.

With the guidance and support of teachers and the connections paving the way, we can gradually grow bigger.

At that time, he entered the acting department with the first grade in the history and culture class. Later, he switched to the directing major, and his graduate tutor was Tian Zhuangzhuang.

There must be some behind-the-scenes operation. After all, someone was a good student at the beginning and pursued progress. Later, his career became busy and he couldn't manage his time.

I may not go to class all semester, but occasionally go to school, which makes the teacher feel flattered, just like celebrating the New Year.

"Brother Tang, Niubi."

Zhang Ruojun smiled like a runaway husky and praised plainly.

He also feels that his brother is so honorable.

"Director Zhou is very good."

Tang Yixin had a serious expression on her face: "I watched interviews with film school freshmen's art exams online. Almost all the freshmen applying for the film school are fans of Director Zhou."

Seeing Zhang Ruojun laughing like a pig, she wanted to laugh a little, but she felt it was inappropriate, so she quickly pretended to drink water to cover up the slightly pursed corners of her mouth.

We had a meal of mutton boiling while talking and laughing. In the end, Tang Yixin paid for it, and Zhou Yutang didn't give in.

I went to school in the afternoon. When the Maybach drove into the school gate, it paused slightly.

Looking up, the big red banner is so dazzling.

The most outrageous thing is that at the film school, there is a humanoid sign of Zhou Yutang under the big red banner.

Several freshmen with childlike faces were taking photos with human-shaped signboards with bright smiles.

"Who is so arrogant, driving a Maybach to school?"

"It's probably a rich second generation from a rich family who is taking the art exam."

"Wucao, isn't this Zhou Yutang's car!?"

One girl's eyes suddenly widened and she shouted excitedly.

The friend next to him asked doubtfully: "You're right, isn't Director Zhou driving that big G?"

"Director Zhou owns several cars. Big G is the one he often drove in the past, and this Maybach is the latest that the media has exposed!"

Many people immediately took out their mobile phones to take pictures. Amidst the excited chatter, Zhou Yutang drove into the school.

It can be said that there was a huge flow of people taking the Film Academy Art Examination today.

He slowed down his speed and finally reached the parking space reserved for Nortel teachers. He grabbed Wang Jinsong's parking space.

The car had just stopped, but unexpectedly Dean Zhang and the deputy dean Lao Wang came out to greet him. Zhou Yutang caught a glimpse of several media reporters following around him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Dean, it's not necessary."

"Why is it not necessary? It is the pride of the Film Academy that you have achieved such results."

With a smile on his face, Dean Zhang came up to hold Zhou Yutang's hand and shook it. The media reporters who had made appointments in advance started taking photos.

The Best Silver Bear Award-winning director returns to his alma mater. Those are all achievements made during his tenure and are worthy of showing off.

Today Zhou Yutang is wearing casual clothes and a pair of frameless flat-view mirrors. He looks a bit elegant and still looks handsome in the group photo.

This time he was invited to the school to be an art exam examiner. He received the job badge and learned about the process in advance. He was a little surprised.

This year, there were more than 25,000 art candidates at the Film Academy, but only 455 were admitted.

This year’s performance school coincides with the recruitment year. The number of applicants for the performance school has increased by nearly half compared with last year. About 8,000 candidates are vying for 85 places in the performance department. The planned number of admissions is nearly three times that of last year, but the admission rate is less than 1.5%.

As I walked by, I saw that the small playground of Nortel was crowded with candidates, accompanied by parents waiting to be called for interviews.

In the past two years, capital has poured into the entertainment industry, and the popularity of the entire industry has been rising. Many stars have become famous overnight, and many people have also dreamed of becoming stars.

A saying with high emotional intelligence: "I want to be an actor and I like this path."

The reality is that the art exam has relatively low requirements for cultural courses. Some candidates dream of passing the art exam and embarking on an acting path, becoming an instant hit, receiving countless flowers and applause, and making a lot of money on the way.

In fact, it is not that easy to get ahead in the entertainment industry.

Top resources are always in the hands of a few people.

At the feet of every high-ranking star, there are countless unknown stepping stones.

Zhou Yutang and several teachers were walking and chatting, and when they entered the classroom, they caused an uproar again.

Looking at the starry eyes in the room, Zhou Yutang waved his hand in an easy-going manner and said with a smile: "This is your first time taking the art exam, and it's my first time as an examiner. Don't be nervous, let's perform well."

"Okay, Teacher Zhou!"

Zhou Yutang was a little stunned when he heard those innocent and immature faces calling out Teacher Zhou.

Unknowingly, like Teacher Chen, I became an artist of the older generation.

The afternoon passed quickly. Zhou Yutang went to the teacher's office and showed the trophy to Teacher Tian.

Tian Zhuangxing wiped the Silver Bear trophy carefully, with a smile on his old face.

Another teacher, Xu Haofeng, teased: "Old Tian, ​​you haven't even won the Silver Bear Award, but your student won it first."

"If you are capable, you can also bring out a student to win a prize."

Tian Zangzheng remained motionless and responded with a smile, directly ending the topic and leaving Xu Haofeng speechless.

How to bring this?

A monster like Zhou Yutang has a talent of historical level.

Acting can win Best Actor, directing commercial films can set box office records in China, and artistic films can win three major foreign awards.

Amazing talent and stunning beauty, nothing more than that.

"Teacher Xu."

Zhou Yutang and Xu Haofeng are also old acquaintances, so he asked casually: "Is "Trace of the Japanese Pirates" going to be released soon?"

"yes."

Lao Xu nodded: "It was originally scheduled for early February, but I saw your "Thailand" and pushed it back."

This film with a small investment was successively shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival's Horizon Section, the Toronto Film Festival's Discovery Section, the Asian Film Festival's Main Competition Section, and the Main Competition Section of the Three Continents Film Festival in Nantes, France.

Nominated at various film festivals, Xu Haofeng also won many emerging director awards, and he became famous in one fell swoop.

It's just that the actors are not well-known, and the movie doesn't have much publicity, so it was released in late February.

Lao Xu is a very interesting person. He has been a painter and a writer. He has also been exposed to Xingyiquan for a while, and he personally served as the action director of "Trace of the Japanese Pirates".

Then we went to Teacher Yao's place, and they were talking about the art exam.

Several teachers in the office shook their heads: "There are more people applying for the exam this year, but the standards are not as good as in previous years. Some of them start to show off at a young age."

Yao Xiaodan also sighed and said: "What do the children today think, but in my group, they are not particularly bad."

Beidianyi's exam is divided into preliminary examination, re-examination, third examination and interview.

The first test looks at the candidate's overall appearance and temperament, and then the performance of lines, vocals, and body.

Yao Xiaodan is the deputy dean of the School of Performance and has strict control.

Candidates with serious technical skills couldn't even pass the first test with her.

Zhou Yutang also shook his head and laughed.

He came over to be a guest for the art exam, and was wondering if he could miss out on signing some potential newcomers to the company.

I took a look at it today and found nothing particularly eye-catching.

What was the quality in the past?

Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Jing Tian, ​​Li Yao, Gu Linaza.

It’s not that the students taking the art exam this year are not good-looking, it’s just that they are so beautiful that they are unrecognizable.

Zhou Yutang has inherited Nortel's fine tradition. In terms of selecting people, appearance is definitely a very important criterion, but good looks alone are not enough.

It also needs to have characteristics.

It’s about making the audience remember you and like you.

For example, Zhao Liying is not a top beauty in terms of appearance, and her figure is even more mediocre, but she has a strange friendly expressiveness, so she became popular immediately after "Shanshan Is Here".

Expression is also very important for art students who want to take this path.

Although the media is hyping up "Little Liu Yifei", "Little Zhou Dongyu", "Little Yang Mi", and "Little Fan Binbin", this year's art exam did not bring any surprises to veteran artist Mr. Zhou.

But I saw Zhang Yisan and Yang Zi, who are sophomores this year, working as volunteers.

There was also a girl who looked somewhat similar to Aunt Liu when she was young, and she also left a deep impression on him.

It's late February, and the smoke is gradually dying down at the film market.

"Reverse War" has completed its release period, with a final box office revenue of 128 million.

Another movie "The Magician" starring Hong Kong king Liang Chiu-wai, the total box office reached 153 million, disappointing, and failed to surprise the audience.

The Hollywood blockbuster "Mission: Impossible 4", which was released during the Lunar New Year holiday at the same time, is indeed very successful. In two days of release, the box office exceeded 100 million, which was higher than the box office of "Backlash" in its first week.

The box office has exceeded 300 million in the two weeks since its release, 500 million in the third week, and 600 million in the fourth week.

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of "囧", this year's Chinese New Year film industry would have been dominated by Tom Cruise.

Another imported blockbuster, "Sherlock Holmes 2", which has also earned US$180 million in the North American market, was launched in the mainland two years ago, and its box office also successfully exceeded US$150 million.

Promoted by LeTV and produced by the golden partners of Zhang Zhao and Huang Baiming, "Happiness with Eight Stars" invited Principal Gu, Xiong Dailin, Gongzhu Lin and many other Hong Kong stars. The film had a total investment of 75 million, and the final box office revenue was 65.49 million.

Failed again!

Even if Zhu Yanpin's "A New Couple" stars Zhou Yuming, a popular young actor from Bay Province, it still cannot escape the fate of being a blockbuster. The total box office was only a little over 30 million, and it failed to complete its release period and was directly reduced to cannon fodder during the Spring Festival.

"Thailand" is still a man blocking a murderer and a god blocking a murderer.

In the two weeks since its release, the cumulative box office has exceeded 600 million. In the third week, the box office revenue was 228 million. In the fourth week, the box office trend inevitably weakened, but it still had 1.32 million box office revenue, and the total box office revenue was 992 million.

With everyone's attention, the box office is increasing by one to two million every day, slowly continuing to climb.

Finally barely breaking through the billion mark, the total box office was fixed at 1.002 billion.

The second billion-dollar movie in the Chinese film industry has appeared.

The entire industry was shocked.

The box office of "囧囧" is not as good as that of "A League of Thieves", but this movie is solely produced by Jiangdong Entertainment. According to the floating account agreement signed by Zhou Yutang and the theaters, the box office share will increase to 45% if the box office exceeds 500 million.

The box office split of this movie is most likely the most amazing profit Zhou Yutang has ever made in a film and television project.

These days, Zhou Yutang's mobile phone has been filled with messages of congratulations from all directions.

Several big names in the industry also called him to express their congratulations.

Huaqi Company's intestines are filled with regret.

After the filming of "Unfortunate Journey" was completed, its release was repeatedly postponed, and the future seemed gloomy.

With Xu Guangtou constantly spouting alarmism on the sidelines, the company's top management decisively handed over the rights to the "囧" series to Zhou Yutang, easily cashing out 1.5 million, making a huge profit.

Now, seeing "囧囧" achieve such a terrifying record, I probably want to strangle Xu Guangtou to death.

Please give me a monthly ticket, please be spicy

Bang bang bang!
