Chapter 515: The era of comparison is like a star holding the moon

Chapter 515: The era of comparison is like a star holding the moon

"Yu Tang, when you finish your work, let's have dinner together when you have time."

Li Binbin actively expressed his kindness, hung up the phone, and started reviewing the situation with his sister Li Xuexue.

The center of the topic is Zhou Yutang.

A few years ago, I thought he could get up, but I didn't expect him to have the status he has now.

Li Xuexue couldn't help but sigh: "With his connections and resources, he can recommend people to other companies in Hollywood. In any case, it is necessary to have a good relationship with him."

"If we have his support, the road ahead will be easy."

The two sisters looked at each other with shock and emotion.

How many years has this been?

Zhou Yutang has grown to this point and is simply a monster.

June is the college entrance examination season. Recently, the media in the circle suddenly made a comprehensive report on the college entrance examination of celebrities.

The college entrance examination scores of popular celebrities were revealed.

Among them, the one who attracted the most attention is naturally Zhou Yutang.

The crew was also discussing, and Reba was a little admired: "Boss, people on the Internet say you are a top student."

At that time, Zhou Yutang was a well-known young author. He received a lot of attention when he first entered school, and his college entrance examination score was enough to pass the film school.

In the entertainment industry where the cultural level is not high, it is simply a breath of fresh air.

Li Binbin is used as a negative example by the media.

The total score in the college entrance examination was in the early 200s, a perfect academic scumbag.

Zhou Yutang was surprised when he saw that Li Binbin only scored 27 points in English. He also admired Sister Lianhua's resilience and perseverance.

My English is so poor, but I spent a lot of time and energy in order to enter the international market.

Now she can communicate with foreigners freely in English.

"Partners in China" has been released for nearly a month, and its total box office has passed the 500 million threshold.

Director Chen Kexing, who carries the hope of Hong Kong circles, received flowers and applause and received the peak box office of his directing career. It can be said that he is extremely proud of himself.

Another summer heavyweight, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains," received almost overwhelmingly negative reviews after its release.

Despite the public outcry, the film is still moving forward with a heavy burden. Within three days of its release, the box office has exceeded 100 million, with a total box office of 260 million in the first week.

It surprised everyone.

However, the single-day box office has dropped to less than 6 million. This is obviously not the box office trend that a movie of above average quality should have.

"He really got it right."

Han Sanping, who was doing the finishing work on the "In the Name of the People" crew, opened his mouth and murmured.

I listened to Zhou Yutang's advice at the beginning and didn't take this trip into troubled waters. There are too many pitfalls in the film industry, and I might step into a trap if I'm not careful.

He was still fooled into boarding the Eastern Titanic by Boss Jia's ppt.

Thinking about it now, Han Sanping always felt a little uneasy, as if he was a little dizzy at the time.

Liu Dehua is even worse these days.

The good reputation accumulated in "A League of Thieves" and "Rescue Mr. My Life" was completely destroyed by "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

Another film "Blind Detective" starring Liu Tianwang and scheduled to be released on July 4th has been negatively affected by "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

Many movie fans began to spontaneously boycott "Blind Detective".

If you accept a bad movie for the sake of favor, you have to be mentally prepared to bear the anger of the audience.

Huang Xiaoming was also like this at the beginning, and he was scolded a lot.

The further we go, the harder it is to use the Four Heavenly Kings' signatures. Audiences are also evolving, and ultimately they still depend on the quality and reputation of the movie.

Zhou Yutang received a call from Liu Tianwang on the set, and heard him sigh: "Yu Tang, you were right, I shouldn't have accepted this project."

"Brother Hua, hold on steady, at least the box office is decent."

Zhou Yutang comforted him.

"I would rather not have this box office."

Liu Tianwang said his true words as if jokingly: "If you have a project over there in the future, you can consider me. It doesn't matter if I don't get paid."

Improving your own score is not as easy as finding a power coach.

What's more, Zhou Yutang is a giant in the entertainment industry.

"Director Zhou, all departments are ready."

Zhou Yutang rarely left work to send a message to Shi Shi, and the voice of deputy director Guo Fan rang out.

Her movie "Fuji Detective" is scheduled to be released at the end of June, and Shi Shi has a trip to Beijing recently.

"let's start."

Putting away his mobile phone, Zhou Yutang continued to focus on filming.

It was still the scene of going to the tomb. Before preparing to open the coffin, Hu Bayi lit a white candle in the southeast corner of the cemetery.

The protagonists, who had gone through all kinds of hardships to get here, looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

"If you touch the gold captain, if you unite, you will live; if you divide, you will die."

"This is the real golden style!"

Following Magnolia, this year’s Magic City International Film Festival is also quite lively.

Although its quality is questionable, it is still the only remaining Category A film festival in China, and it has generated quite a lot of competition.

There was a lot of excitement on the red carpet at the opening ceremony, and forum activities involving major Chinese and foreign directors, bosses, producers, etc. were also invited.

Xu Ke has been in Shanghai for the past two days, and Zhou Yutang also received an invitation from the organizing committee long ago, asking him to be a guest speaker at the Film Industry Forum.

It's just that he was busy with the crew filming, so he finally pushed it.

This year's "Guild Wars" was the biggest winner, with Zha Zhahui becoming the Golden Goblet Emperor. Li Xinqiao, a girl born in 2003, is also the youngest Best Actress to win the Golden Goblet Award.

But the most unexpected thing was Guo Xiaosi's "Tiny Times", which actually won the Movie Channel Media Award.

In addition, it also won the Best Film Award at the Media Awards.

Guo Xiaosi holds two cups in hand. "Tiny Times" stole the show at the Shanghai Film Festival and sparked a huge discussion on the Internet. It has taken a lot of the pressure off "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

LeTV, claiming that the iron is hot, issued a wave of press releases and held the premiere of "Tiny Times".

The movie was released in late June, and the box office on the first day was released, with a box office revenue of approximately 78 million yuan.

There was an uproar in the circle.

This box office has exceeded the first-day box office data of "Partners in China", which was finally set at 558 million, and also surpassed "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

It reminded many viewers of the love myth created by Zhou Yutang in last summer's film.

It is only a few million short of the first-day box office record for domestic 2D movies set by "Bouquet of Love".

Fang Liriyue, a well-known film critic in the industry, publicly stated: "The record of super bad movies set by "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" will be surpassed by "Tiny Times" in less than a month. "Tiny Times" is far worse than More than "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", its display of wealth and accumulation has reached a morbid state!"

It's not just the critics who are firing on all cylinders, either.

Even Wang Xiaocong couldn't hold back and started complaining: "If you are a fan of childhood, please take the initiative to unfollow me."

Immediately afterwards, producers, directors, screenwriters, media, etc. in the circle of Gao Qunshu, Chief Jia, etc. all started firing on Weibo.

"It's okay for idols and bosses to join forces to make money from fans, but they have to come up with something that is truly worth the money. You can't use the fans' young fanaticism and unlimited worship of idols to maliciously guide consumption with a clear conscience."

Many filmmakers in the industry were angry together, and countless criticisms came in. However, Guo Xiaosi was able to keep his composure and said with high spirits:

"When I was a kid, I made it for young people. The movies directed by Zhou Yutang still can't conquer many people in their forties and fifties. It's normal to have opinions. If young people like it, it only proves that I made the right film!"

"Lin Xiao is a hard-working assistant, Gu Li is a rich second generation but still works hard to study for a double degree, and Nan Xiang's family is poor, but she only makes money by sketching for elective clothing. They don't seem to care about famous brands. They are all good girls with upright values. !”

"I think writers can not only use words to describe stories, but also use pictures to describe them. Director Zhou Yutang has proved that this path can be followed. I think "Tiny Times" is no worse than any movie!"

Guo Xiaosi raised his eyebrows coldly and pointed at thousands of people, and he talked with all the heroes.

The popularity of "Tiny Times" remains high, with 63.68 million on the second day and 69.66 million on the third day. The box office continues to rise. Guo Jingming spoke again:

"This is the best of times. I think the box office can be higher. The box office record of "Love in a Bouquet" is just ahead. Maybe there is a chance to create our own glory!"

Netizens responded with scolding, but fans of the childhood were proud and proud.

There was a crazy uproar and carnival on the Internet, and Guo Xiaosi was even placed in the same position as Zhou Yutang.

"Among the Tianlongs there is Nan Murong, also known as Bei Qiao Feng. Now Director Guo and Zhou Yutang are not Nan Xiaosi and the Northern Governor, haha!"

Some fans are immature and lack basic judgment. They simply think that "Tiny Times" is awesome and Guo Xiaosi is awesome.

Comparing him to Zhou Yutang is just giving him credit.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people are fishing in troubled waters and taking advantage of the situation.

"Although Zhou Yutang is a bit of a jerk, his crime is not that serious. He is being compared with Guo Xiaosi."

"What happened to this year's summer season? First there was the big bad movie "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", and then there was "Tiny Times". This is really a bad era."

"It's funny. What did he use to fight Zhou Yutang?"

"If you jump up, you can probably hit Zhou Yutang's knees?"

The carnival of fans from the childhood quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of Jiangdong Navy.

Suddenly, the Internet was full of wars, and fans from the two families started fighting.

Guo Xiaosi has many fans, but compared to the size of Jiangdong Navy, they are not at the same level.

There was almost no suspense in this public opinion war, and Xiaosi's fans were immediately blown away.

Damimi browsed the comments on the Internet and sighed: "Sister Jia, I really shouldn't have accepted this drama."

The development path planned for her by her agent Zeng Jia is very clear.

In the early days, you could rely on black and red to attract traffic, but now that they are popular, it is necessary to focus on word-of-mouth, which will affect high-quality endorsements.

But now, "Little Times" is being released here, and they are bickering every day, which also puts Damimi on the fire.

Damimi personally is definitely leaning towards Zhou Yutang, and she has two projects from Jiangdong Entertainment in hand.

"But the money they gave me was too much."

Zeng Jia was also a little helpless.

Who would have thought that the fans over there were so confused that they dared to provoke Zhou Yutang.

In the end, idols pay for the behavior of fans.

Guo Xiaosi has posted an explanation on Weibo, but Zhou Yutang has not responded.

Things have happened. No matter what, the differences between the two sides are definitely forged.

"How about this."

Damimi's mind changed slightly and she came up with an idea: "Sister Jia, please communicate with them and help me push forward the follow-up publicity activities."

"What's the reason?"

Zeng Jia was stunned for a moment: "This will offend Guo Xiaosi."

"Just offend me if you offend me."

Damimi was very decisive: "Just say, I signed a contract with "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and the crew really can't leave."

Behind her, there was that man's support.

What are you afraid of Guo Xiaosi?

Just when the smoke was spreading during the summer vacation, the news about the divorce lawsuit of the media tycoons on the other side of the ocean spread back to China, shocking the entire domestic entertainment industry.

That News Corp. media mogul is getting divorced.

When he divorced his last wife, he signed a divorce agreement paying US$1.7 billion and made a lot of gold coins.

According to the current net worth of the tycoon, secret statistics from the Hollywood media have concluded that the current tycoon's wife is likely to have a fortune of more than US$1 billion.

Zhou Yutang finally understood why Sister Lianhua had such a positive attitude recently.

Her besties in Hollywood will probably have to worry about this divorce lawsuit and subsequent property division for a long time to come.

Zhou Yutang also dealt with Deng Wendi several times.

It is undeniable that he has extremely high quotient and is very good at seizing opportunities.

That's why she was able to counterattack all the way to the top. It was because of the aura of the media tycoon's wife that gave her a bigger platform, and she was able to prosper there.

Now, even Britain's former chief minister, Blair, has a very close relationship with her.

There are even rumors that the media tycoon's lightning divorce was due to his extramarital affair.

That's really what it said.

Men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men.

Several literary scenes were given to Guo Fan to practice.

Zhou Yutang took a look at the summer box office statistics compiled by Ni Ni.

"Tiny Times" grossed 268 million in the first four days of its first weekend.

I thought "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", which received rave reviews, would be shocking enough, but I didn't expect there would be a master.

The box office trend of "Tiny Times" is even stronger than that of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

Now the Internet is criticizing it, its popularity is rising, and the box office continues to rise.

With this data here, it’s no wonder that Guo Xiaosi is a little distracted and can’t tell the difference between the big and small kings.

"boss."

Ni Ni found it a bit unbelievable: "I heard from my high school best friends that this movie is so bad. Why is the movie box office so high?"

"This is what a fan movie looks like. I'll watch it in a few days."

Zhou Yutang didn't take it to heart and ignored Guo Xiaosi. He just casually posted on Weibo: ["Slaying the Wolf 2" is about to premiere. Everyone is welcome to support! 】

He took a day to stand for the movie premiere of "Slaying the Wolf 2".

The summer season is a battleground for all film and television companies, and Jiangdong will certainly not be absent.

As the main producer of "Slaying the Wolf 2", Zhou Yutang also has to shoulder part of the promotional tasks.

As for the filming matters of the crew, they were left to Guo Fan to look after. Wen Muye and Lu Yang were also there, and they were both very capable.

"Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" was filmed in a closed environment, and the outside media knew very little about it. When they saw Zhou Yutang at this time, they naturally swarmed up and pointed their long guns and short cannons at him:

"Director Zhou, how is the filming progress of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

"It went pretty smoothly."

"Is there any hope that it will be released before the Spring Festival this year?"

"It depends on the situation. Mainly the post-production special effects shots are more troublesome."

Zhou Yutang didn't say anything, there were too many uncertainties.

Another entertainment reporter with a bad taste started to trick him: "Director Zhou, the box office of "Tiny Times" has been growing rapidly recently. Director Guo wants to hit the box office record of "Bouquet". What do you think?"

"I haven't seen it, so I can't comment."

Zhou Yutang was very calm about this: "Today is the premiere of "Slaying the Wolf 2". Please give me some face and pay more attention to this movie."

He has never been a talkative player, he relies on his actual performance to speak for himself.

Who is superior and who is inferior? The audience has given the answer. Now scolding it will bring traffic to it.

"Director Zhou, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?"

"I have seen the finished film. It is definitely the most explosive action movie in recent years. In terms of box office, I don't think it will be able to hit the summer blockbuster."

Zhou Yutang's expression remained unchanged, as quiet as a flat lake, but he exuded the domineering aura of a great director.

With his colleagues pulling his hips, he also has greater expectations for the box office of "Slaying the Wolf 2".

After dealing with the enthusiastic media, Zhou Yutang spotted Liu Shishi who stood out among the crowd at a glance.

A pure face, beautiful and gentle.

Wearing a blue tulle dress, she is elegant and has a bit of the pure feeling of Solanum in those days.

Shi Shi has been participating in variety shows in Beijing these days to promote "Fuji Detective". Guangguang is also one of the producers of "Slaying the Wolf 2".

She made an appointment with Zhou Yutang in advance to meet at the premiere of "Slaying the Wolf 2". When she saw Zhou Yutang, the corners of her mouth slightly pursed, drawing a beautiful arc.

While the two were talking, Huo Wenxi came up to him with a smile and gave Liu Shishi a loving hug: "Shi Shi, congratulations on winning that Hollywood drama."

"Thank you, Sister Mani."

"It's going to be powered on over there soon."

"It has to wait until next month."

The circle is so big. The two women usually meet at some cocktail parties and award ceremonies. Huo Wenxi knows Liu Shishi's status with Zhou Yutang.

Despite the deliberate show of goodwill, the private relationship with Liu Shishi was maintained quite well.

After the meeting and greetings, Huo Wenxi turned to Zhou Yutang and said with a smile: "Atang, I've delayed your crew's filming."

"Where is it?"

Zhou Yutang also had a smile on his face: "It's hard work, Sister Mani, having to run around."

"Slaying the Wolf 2" will hold premieres in Shencheng, Magic City, Xiangjiang and other places. The premiere is the grandest in Beijing, and it is placed today to match Zhou Yutang's schedule.

"That's right, it's all work!"

Huo Wenxi's emotional intelligence is notoriously high.

Chatting with her often makes people feel very comfortable.

It is not unreasonable to sit in the position of Yinghuang's publicity director and let Boss Yang entrust all the business of Yinghuang's mainland company.

Huo Wenxi and Liu Shishi, two beauties, one big and one small, were holding hands and talking about skin care.

Zhang Jing and his wife Barbecued Pork Fen also came over to say hello: "Director Zhou."

"Brother Jing, Sister Fen, congratulations on your second child."

Zhou Yutang stood up, shook hands with Zhang Jing, hugged him, and patted his shoulder.

After Zhang Jing joined Jiangdong Entertainment, his career also ushered in a second spring. At the beginning of the year, he became famous because of Ma San in "The Grandmaster".

She has a happy family life. Char Siu Fen gave birth to her second child this year. Zhou Yutang specially gave her a big red envelope at that time.

Director Chen Musheng, Wu Jing, Zhang Jing, Tony Jaa, Simon Yam and other main creative staff were present.

Tony Jia saw Zhou Yutang, grinned innocently, and came over to bump his fists.

The two have collaborated in "The Lonely Agent" and are old acquaintances.

"Director Zhou, I wish you a great box office success."

"Um."

Zhou Yutang wanted to laugh when he saw Zeng Xiaoxian's face: "Have you signed a contract with Huayi?"

"Well, I just signed a two-year contract."

"I wish you smooth development in Huayi."

Although Chen Chichi laughs and laughs all day long, he is a distant relative of Poet Chen and is quite motivated.

There was a time when I wanted to sign my own management contract with Jiangdong Entertainment.

It didn't work out.

Zhou Yutang feels that Chen Chichi's acting skills are a bit exaggerated, and Zeng Xiaoxian's character image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so he is more suitable for a variety show comedy route.

Chen Chichi personally has great ideas and wants to develop into the film and television industry.

Later, Huayi offered good conditions, including the promise of a series of film and television resources. Chen Chichi turned around and signed Huayi. Huayi Xiaowang also held a quite grand signing ceremony.

Speaking of which, it's Sekiya from "Love Apartment" whose acting skills are relatively solid.

Liu Shishi sat quietly next to Zhou Yutang, watching him chatting with Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning and others.

There was an endless stream of people who took the initiative to come over and say hello to him.

Liu Shishi suddenly discovered that with Zhou Yutang as the center, an extremely solid network of relationships seemed to have been woven.

The CEOs of China Film, Enlight, Yinghuang, and Pony, including Wanda Ye Ning, are all key members of this network.

She's not good at business, but you can tell.

Perhaps Zhou Yutang did not do it deliberately, but because of his transcendent status in the film and television industry, countless people are moving closer to him.

Xu Guangtou and his wife, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Xu Jinglei, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin and other celebrities in the industry, some of them even had other schedules and came here to support.

All these people naturally surrounded Zhou Yutang.

Such momentum is like stars holding the moon.

Liu Shishi stared at that handsome face with clear lines, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed in a soft arc, feeling proud of Zhou Yutang from the bottom of his heart.

Today’s host invites Xie Nan, the head female host of Guangguang.

Wang Changtian and Zhou Yutang sat together and talked about the "Wolf Warrior" project.

The cost calculation reached 150 million, and Soochow Pictures, China Film and Enlight were the investors. Wu Jing also followed suit and took some share.

With the strong financial support of these three companies, Wu Jing is gearing up and full of energy. He has traveled to many places in the past few days and is determined to shoot in Liuhe Pingshan Forest Park in Jinling City.

In addition, the cast was quickly confirmed. Except for Zhou Yutang's guest appearance, the starring cast is Wu Jing, Ni Dahong, and Yu Nan.

"Brother Jing, Sister Xie Nan is calling you."

Liu Shishi gave a kind reminder.

It was the turn of the crew and creators to answer the media interview. Wu Jing was still pulling Zhou Yutang excitedly down below, chattering about his thoughts on "Wolf Warrior".

The host Xie Nan had no choice but to come down and catch his man on stage, which caused a burst of laughter in the audience.

"Sha Po Lang, what does it mean?"

The creator of the show was still being interviewed, and Liu Shishi leaned into Zhou Yutang's ear, curious, and asked in a low voice.

Her hair tickled Zhou Yutang's face, making her feel a little itchy.

"Sha Po Lang was first seen in the "Book of Changes" and is a fate of Zi Wei Dou Shu."

"Seven Kills, Po Jun, and Greedy Wolf. These three stars will always meet in three directions. The three stars in the same palace are called Sha Po Lang."

"Everyone with the fate of Sha Po Lang has a heroic temperament, but their life is full of ups and downs, and their fate is unpredictable. At the same time, Sha Po Lang and Tian Sha Lone Star are two fatal fates."

Just as the interview with the main creator ended, there was a burst of applause. Zhou Yutang patted the back of Liu Shishi's hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled,

"The movie has started."
