Chapter 534 The King of Comedy, Becomes Famous

"Congratulations to Yu Tang for wrapping up the film."

Xing Aina got a bouquet of flowers from somewhere, and Zhou Yutang was a little dumbfounded: "Sister Na, what are you doing?"

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and guest star."

She couldn't help but put the flowers into Zhou Yutang's arms. Xing Aina greeted with a smile: "Lao Ning and Huang Bo are also coming over to take pictures together. We will arrange a supper later."

In fact, the production team has just started filming not long ago, and many actors, including Xu Guangtou, have not yet joined the cast.

Simply to accommodate Zhou Yutang's schedule, this scene was moved forward for filming.

The photos taken now can be shown as behind-the-scenes in some interviews and variety shows, and can also have the effect of promoting movies.

Xing Aina was really thorough in everything she did. After Zhou Yutang's scene was over, she specifically asked about her schedule and arranged a midnight snack.

Zhou Yutang has many friends in the circle, and Ning Hao is undoubtedly the one with whom he has the best connections - he has witnessed the Governor's shirt and overalls land his first pot of gold from the rich Princess Tian.

The group of people went to a barbecue restaurant. Xing Aina booked the place in advance and left the box to Zhou Yutang and the others.

"Yu Tang, your company's drama has been quite popular recently."

Huang Bo rubbed a bunch of kidneys, took a sip of wheat juice, and said with a grin: "I see that the total number of hits on the Internet for "Why Shengxiaomo" has exceeded 2.5 billion. It shouldn't be too scary."

"It's not as good as "Celebrating More Than Years", there's still room for improvement."

"A-level dramas have achieved the same effect as S-level dramas. Why don't you leave some way for others to survive? Isn't this progress enough?"

In a game between friends, with someone like Huang Bo who can talk, there is absolutely no need to worry about the atmosphere becoming cold.

It was a rare break from the busy schedule, and Zhou Yutang felt relaxed and at ease. He got excited chatting with his friends, opened the collar of his shirt, and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows.

Looking at Ning Hao opposite him, his smile was crooked.

While he was happy for Zhou Yutang, he was also secretly happy.

Tang Yan made a guest appearance as the long-legged beauty in "Blithe Heart", and now her fans have increased crazily because of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo". She has posted a wave of press releases in the past two days, attracting a lot of attention.

"Yu Tang, is Huayi negotiating with the theaters about the share ratio of Shendu Dragon King recently?"

Huang Bo suddenly asked such a question, and Ning Hao's attention also shifted.

"That's right."

Zhou Yutang nodded: "Huayi has reached an agreement with the theaters. Three weeks after Dragon King was released, the original bill sharing ratio was reduced by 13%."

"What are you planning?"

Huang Bo was almost choked by the big waist: "Everyone else is raising the ratio, but he is taking the initiative to lower the share ratio?"

"There is no way, Hollywood movies are entering the market, and in order to push up the box office of the movies, they have to give up profits."

In the film market in October, apart from "Witness", which caught the public's attention and had a box office performance that exceeded expectations, only "The Dragon King of God" was more up-to-date.

It's just that "The Dragon King of Gods" failed to stay strong to the end. By mid-October, several Hollywood movies hit it one after another, and it became somewhat unbearable.

"The Wolverine 2" grossed 23 million at the box office on its first day and exceeded 100 million in the first four days of its first week, taking the lead in the weekly box office rankings.

There is also a new Johnny Depp drama "The Lone Ranger," which grossed 22 million yuan at the box office on its first day and over 100 million yuan in its first weekend.

As a result, the film schedule is inevitably divided. The cumulative box office of "The Dragon King" has reached 628 million. The single-day box office dropped by 10 million, and the potential is about to be exhausted.

Huayi wants to go further. Even if it applies for an extension key, it is still not optimistic.

There are also "The Hunger Games 2" and "Gravity" waiting eagerly behind.

This was also the last arrangement made by Han Sanping when he was in power - to drop several Hollywood blockbusters in November before the Lunar New Year.

Let them strangle each other and leave space for domestic movies in the Lunar New Year file.

"This eggplant is good."

Zhou Yutang thinks the grilled eggplant served by this Northeastern barbecue restaurant is very appetizing.

The eggplant meat is sprinkled with minced garlic meat and served with chopped green onion, which is very tasty.

Huang Bo was also full of praise. Speaking of New Year movies, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Yu Tang, I saw that "The Voice of China: I Turn for You" was produced by your company, right?"

"Don't get me wrong, the copyright is sold."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly, and he took a sip of wheat juice to calm down his shock: "The film and television company in the Magic City just started to talk to me, but I pushed back and simply sold the copyright and let them play by themselves."

Two years ago, before Baldy Xu made his mark, he made a fortune filming "Hee Travels" with the Happy Family. Later, he posted a short essay on Weibo to apologize to his fans.

This year, another movie "Happy Home" was released quietly.

This kind of variety show film can be shot in just a few days, and fans are precisely harvested in order to make money.

Zhou Yutang couldn't catch his eye.

However, he is not worse than himself, nor can he block other people's financial paths, because it involves the interests of certain high-ranking officials in Magic City and Mango Stage.

Variety movies "Running Man" and "Where Are We Going, Dad" are also in preparation.

When it came to the launch of Deng Chao's "The Breakup Master", Huang Bo was obviously a little moved. He caught Zhou Yutang and Ning Hao and asked a lot about the director.

"Brother Bo, your short film "The Undrunk Life of 2B Youth" was very good. If you have a chance, you can try it."

"My level is a bit far behind. I have to rely on the two great directors to give me some advice."

"Let's have three drinks first."

Act and direct well.

Jiang Wen and Zhou Yutang are both actors and directors.

Wu Jing and Deng Chao also have the intention to develop into directors.

No wonder Huang Bo is tempted, even Ada is running to enter the film and television industry.

After getting investment from Guangdong, they made a youth romance film "My Deskmate". Guangdong wanted to ask Guo Fan, who had served as an assistant director for Zhou Yutang on several films from Jiangdong, to direct it.

Guo Fan is still pushing forward the progress of the later stages of Ghost Blowing Lamp. He is very busy and does not like this cake.

Ada went into battle with her own guns, using Lin Gengxin and Little Yellow Duck, who had been terminated from the Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the two fell in love on the set and were photographed by the paparazzi holding hands and making love all night in the hotel for two consecutive nights.

Zhou Yutang doesn't really appreciate the type of little yellow duck. It can't be said to be ordinary, but it can also be said to be a sure thing.

He personally prefers plump beauties, so when Liu Tianxian returned to the capital from Paris, he made an appointment at his exclusive Cave Paradise.

After going to the fairyland together.

Liu Yifei was wearing a pure white T-shirt, her cheeks were still flushed, and her slender legs under hot pants were resting on Zhou Yutang's body casually and lazily.

She sent a message to Aunt Liu to report that she was safe, then threw her phone aside and happily watched TV with Zhou Yutang in her arms.

Seeing Zhou Yutang chatting with someone on the phone, he thoughtfully turned down the volume on the TV.

Putting his pretty chin on Zhou Yutang's shoulder, his pair of water-cut eyes slid back and forth, and he lightly brushed the side of Zhou Yutang's face with the tip of his hair.

Just by listening to the voice, Liu Yifei roughly knew that the person speaking on the phone was Tian Ming, the boss of Mingjie, who was also Zhou Yutang's good brother.

But Tian Ming's voice was a little helpless at this time: "Yu Tang, the news has spread that we are going to have a comedy variety show with Modu TV. Now the TV stations are preparing to make their own comedy variety shows. Mango TV's "Just Let You" "Laugh", Zhejiang TV's "Chinese Comedy King", Huizhou TV's "Super Comedian"."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhou Yutang held Tianxian's waist and put her on his lap. He said quite calmly, "We do ours and they do theirs."

Now Mingjie Company is undoubtedly the leader in domestic variety shows. Whenever news about a new variety show project leaks out, various TV stations immediately start copying the answers.

However, without a complete program planning plan for domestic market research, it is difficult to make a mark.

A bunch of shows that imitated "The Voice" all failed miserably.

What Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming were just talking about was "Happy Comedian", a variety show that brings together outstanding comedy talents from all over the country to compete in the arena.

At that time, we can throw Qiao Bin, Happy Mahua, etc. into this program to hone their skills.

"Xiao Zhou, how did you come up with this idea?"

After Zhou Yutang finished chatting with Tian Ming, Liu Yifei asked softly.

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Xu Guangtou."

Zhou Yutang's small hands moved upstream from Tianxian's slender waist: "He said he wanted to make a comedy movie with profound connotations."

"You mean the Hong Kong project that was approved not long ago?"

"Um."

Zhou Yutang nodded, smelling the fragrance that seemed to be innate on Tianxian: "I just want to do the opposite and make a show that can really make the audience laugh."

Ordinary people are tired enough of facing life.

It can allow them to temporarily forget the troubles caused by their heavy life.

This is what Zhou Yutang understands the meaning of the existence of comedy programs.

Being looked at with admiration by such a beautiful woman like Liu Yifei felt somewhat satisfying. While she was in a daze, the screen of Zhou Yutang's mobile phone suddenly lit up.

Zhou Yutang took a look and saw that it was Liu Tao's phone number. "Sister Tao, are you calling me so late? What's wrong?"

"Yu Tang, thank you!"

Liu Tao sounded a little excited: "We won an award at the Busan Film Festival!"

Facts have proved that Zhou Yutang's vision is very stable.

The quality of the movies he likes is absolutely guaranteed. The young rural woman Liu Tao played in the movie was well received. This was her first time walking a red carpet abroad as a leading role in a movie.

Hearing this sister say with some excitement, it seemed that a director was planning to invite her to star in a new film. Zhou Yutang coughed lightly and praised: "Congratulations, Teacher Bai Liu."

"Your acting skills are very good. You can develop more into movies in the future. Only when you step out of your comfort zone can you see a broader world."

"You're right, don't call me teacher, it'll sound awkward."

Liu Tao said coquettishly: "Call me Sister Tao. If there is any suitable role introduction next time, I will be on call."

“Definitely next time!”

"Why did you call me Teacher Bai just now?"

When Zhou Yutang finished the call, Liu Yifei beside him felt very keen and touched his arm.

"This is a meme on the Internet. Most netizens say that Liu Tao is the best candidate to play Teacher Bai."

Zhou Yutang leaned close to her ear and explained with a narrow smile.

"Rogue."

Just hearing about this work from Zhou Yutang made Liu Yifei blush, spat lightly, and then said seriously: "Xiao Zhou, it's not easy for Liu Tao, don't bully her."

"Miss Liu, don't you trust me yet?"

Zhou Yutang vowed: "I hate Cao Cao the most in my life."

A few years ago, Mr. Wang made his fortune from the stock market, with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and was firmly positioned as one of the four young masters in the capital.

Liu Tao still had a boyfriend at the time, but Mr. Wang wielded the hoe well, and Teacher Liu was unable to withstand the attack.

The two got married at the speed of light.

The wedding at the Peninsula Hotel shocked half of the capital.

At that time, Mr. Liu thought he was marrying into a wealthy family, but Mr. Wang lost hundreds of millions in the stock market.

So Liu Tao came out and took on roles like crazy to earn money.

Everyone in the industry knows that Liu Tao works harder than Yang Mi.

Whenever a job comes to her, as long as the money is in place, she will basically not refuse.

Zhou Yutang brushed aside this year's Busan Film Festival.

Aaron Kwok and a famous female star served as emcees. "Witness by All" starring Guo Tianwang and Director Jia's new film "Destined to Be" were both screened in the wide-angle lens unit.

In addition, "Maze of the Heart" produced by Jiangdong Entertainment and directed by Jin Yukun is competing for the New Wave Award in the main competition unit.

There was a performance by Girls' Generation at the opening ceremony.

Zhou Yutang thought about Yoona's schedule for a family concert in Beijing at the end of the year.

This year, "Pascha" directed by South Korean female director Ahn Sun-kyung and "Maze of the Heart" directed by China's Jin Yukun won the New Wave Award.

The New Wave Award is selected by a jury composed of famous film experts and is intended to encourage and discover talented new directors in Asia. The winning director will also receive a bonus of US$30,000.

certainly.

This little money is nothing compared to making a name for yourself.

"Kodong Entertainment's new director won the New Wave Award at the Busan Film Festival!"

"Let me reveal to you who Jin Yukun is!"

"The supernova director after the three great generals of Koto!"

News of the Busan Film Festival quickly spread back to China, and Jin Yukun became famous since then.

He drank water without forgetting the well digger, and he did not forget to express his sincere thanks to Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang held a meeting with the cast and crew of "Chi Ling". First of all, he thanked all the screenwriters and teachers for their efforts.

"Yes, we would also like to see this movie made."

Lu Wei felt very accomplished, and the other screenwriters also had smiles on their faces.

When it comes to the top screenwriters in the country, Lu Wei must have a place.

Like several other top screenwriters, the reason why he agreed to Zhou Yutang to take over the job was not just for money, but because he was really interested in the story.

Especially after months of hard work, I am extremely looking forward to Zhou Yutang putting it on the big screen.

Zhou Yutang plays Pei Yanzhi himself, but it is not his one-man show.

To set up a stage for singing, a variety of supporting roles must be needed to enrich the entire plot.

One of the supporting characters with an important role is Li Xuejian.

In the end, Mr. Pei burned down the theater and burned himself to death together with the tiger, wolf, and Japanese invaders.

Of course he couldn't do this alone.

A helper is a must.

Li Xuejian is this person.

His character setting in the play is different from the famous Mr. Pei.

Just one of the many living beings.

He lived an ordinary life, humble to the dust.

Lao Li's position is even lower than Mr. Pei. He just wants to survive in this world.

But when the nest is overturned, there are no eggs left.

Seeing that the high-rise building was full of guests, I saw that the building collapsed.

Li Xuejian's beautiful vision was destroyed by the brutal war.

Using an almost cruel method, it destroys the ordinary lives of ordinary people and shatters their tiny wishes.

In the end, there was a fight between Mr. Pei and Lao Li.

They are also stories of that era.

Lu Chuan thought he was China's Spielberg, cutting in from the Japs' perspective, but after finishing the movie Jinling, he became Neon Taro.

Zhou Yutang never felt that he was chasing anyone's progress.

He only tells a Chinese story from a Chinese standpoint.

This reflects a corner of that dark era.

The sufferings that our ancestors have suffered.

Needs to be remembered.

Rather than forgive and forget.
