Chapter 557 New record, the chosen one
Liu Shishi was full of energy at Zhou Yutang's place, and he went to the script study meeting with confidence the next day.
By the way, I received professional training on the role from Cao Baoping.
The result was that he was still tortured miserably.
This is also normal.
Even Zhou Xun was tortured by Cao Baoping until he almost collapsed.
If Liu Shishi wants to give a convincing performance, he must break through the current limitations of his acting skills.
Fortunately, Zhou Yutang has arranged a stable path for her in the past few years.
I have mastered the basic skills of acting, and occasionally I can show flashes of inspiration.
Moreover, the heroine of the movie "The Tuner" was, to a certain extent, tailor-made for her by Zhou Yutang.
"The Secret of the Dragon" is still raging in the film market. On the 22nd day of its release, the total box office finally crossed the 1.7 billion threshold.
The previous Chinese movie box office record of 1.692 billion, held by "Now You See Me", has been broken.
Nortel would not miss such a good opportunity. It immediately sent a text message called congratulations, but in fact it invited Zhou Yutang to promote it, which made the momentum stronger.
With such a golden brand name, Nortel's status is firmly at the top of the list of domestic art schools.
I don’t know how many people were attracted by Zhou Yutang and chose to apply for Nortel.
Just look at the resumes of Koto-style artists.
Zhang Songwen who was granted the title of emperor in Berlin, as well as Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruojun, Li Yao, Zhao Liying, Gulinazha, Jing Tian, Li Jian, Gao Ye and Reyiza
They all came from film schools.
The one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon. What if Zhou Yutang takes his fancy too?
Many people hold this idea, but it is a pity that the elimination rate of more than 90% of the Nortel Performing Arts Academy's preliminary examination this year has shattered the dreams of countless young people.
The preliminary results were released in late February, and Meng Ziyi's name was among them.
The ranking is relatively high, but not conspicuous.
The re-examination will be held in the next few days, and as expected, after Gulinazha, the new Nortel school beauty will be Meng Ziyi.
The artist management department of Jiangdong Entertainment is very professional. Ever since Zhou Yutang asked to sign Meng Ziyi, the entire supporting planning and character marketing has been completed. Now it has become quite popular on the Internet.
"This year's most beautiful art candidate Meng Ziyi seems to have signed a contract with Jiangdong."
"It's beautiful looking at the photos."
"The beauties from the Northeast are really upright and orderly."
"The future Nortel school belle will be perfect."
"You can always trust Zhou Yutang's vision."
Meng Ziyi attended Yongchun No.11 Middle School.
This is a key middle school in Jilin Province.
Not to mention the head-hanging beams and bone-piercing cones, the learning atmosphere is also excellent.
Everyone sprinted step by step together, sweating and fighting hard to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops for the college entrance examination, but unexpectedly a future star appeared beside them.
Meng Ziyi’s classmates and friends also thought it was magical.
"I'll go, Ziyi has tens of thousands of Weibo fans."
"Nonsense, this is Jiangdong Entertainment. I remember when Gulinazha officially announced her contract with Jiangdong, Zhou Yutang followed her on Weibo and gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight!"
"I love you. Is this what my husband is worth?"
"Your husband is awesome."
"I'm still trying my best to hit the 2 billion box office. I went to see the movie on Saturday night. It was really good. I highly recommend it. Gulinazha is so beautiful in it. Ziyi may be a new generation of fish girls in the future."
As the college entrance examination approaches, senior high school students don’t have much time to rest.
Go to the canteen at sprint speed to prepare a meal, and chat about some gossip while eating.
The topic of greatest concern is Zhou Yutang and Meng Ziyi, which is also a rare moment of relaxation and comfort for them after their busy study life.
At this time, Meng Ziyi was still in the capital preparing for the re-examination.
She looked at the number of Weibo fans that was rising like a rocket. Some fans had even created a group for her, and even asked Zhou Shufang specifically.
"The company will arrange assistants to help you handle this. You only need to prepare for the exam and don't have to worry about anything else."
"Thank you, Manager Zhou."
"Haha, you don't need to thank me. You should thank Mr. Zhou. He specifically asked to take good care of you."
Meng Ziyi, who was ranked above average in key high schools, certainly had no problem with his IQ.
After hearing what Zhou Shufang said, Meng Ziyi felt that he should do something.
Take out your phone and click on the WeChat chat interface of Zhou Yutang added through your private number.
I have peeked into the friend circle of big guys many times before, but I have never chatted with him, and the chat history is blank.
She typed a line, considered the words carefully, and deleted them repeatedly, but she was still not satisfied.
Fearing that the abruptness would disturb Zhou Yutang's work, after much hesitation, Meng Ziyi took the initiative to send a message of thanks to Zhou Yutang.
Followed by a slightly girly emoji.
With a nervous and expectant mood, I looked at my phone from time to time. I didn't get a reply, and I felt a little disappointed for no reason.
After about ten minutes, the phone screen lit up.
It was just a simple word "come on", but it seemed to have infinite magic power, making her feel that the haze in the capital was fragrant.
Meng Ziyi, who came into contact with the entertainment industry for the first time, suddenly felt that he was the chosen one.
she knows.
This absurd feeling was brought to her by Zhou Yutang.
It seems that those longing for flowers and applause are no longer far away from me.
"Four weeks after its release, "The Secret of the Dragon" has grossed a total of 1.834 billion at the box office. The myth continues!"
"South Korean official media reported that the number of viewers of "The Secret of the Dragon" in South Korea exceeded 10 million, and the response was unprecedentedly enthusiastic!"
The two fierce dragons crossing the river that had previously threatened to confront Zhou Yutang were beaten into worms.
Wang Jingwang's "The Storm" has a total box office of 338 million, and the single-day box office has dropped to hundreds of thousands, and it will be released soon.
The total box office of "Havoc in Heaven" has reached 767 million, but it is still standing still, and its potential has also been exhausted.
Even Disney's "Frozen", which has been wildly harvesting box office around the world, can't stop Zhou Yutang's progress. The latter's box office only reached 158 million at the end of February.
On the contrary, Huayi's "The Ex", which was placed in the lover's section, combined with the subsequent marketing hype to increase the popularity, bucked the trend and rose at the box office. By late February, the box office reached 85.2 million, making it a dark horse in the Spring Festival stalls.
Around the Chinese New Year.
Zhou Yutang’s news reports have been dominating the screen like crazy.
Looking at the extremely impressive record, everyone in the industry has become numb.
Now even if he says he wants to take everyone to the moon, no one would find it strange.
With more expectations, I still want to see when it will break the 2 billion mark. After all, China Film officially announced that the film will be postponed for a month.
The film market is like a raging fire, attracting countless funds to enter the market.
Before leaving for America, Zhou Yutang was invited to attend the launch conference of "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons", another major project run by Wanda and Enlight.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Facing Bao Beier who came up to greet him respectfully, Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.
Although this bald man was also from Nortel and had taken acting lessons from Zhang Songwen during his downfall, the two parties actually had little overlap.
Ni Ni seemed to notice the slight alienation in Zhou Yutang's tone. After they left, he came up and asked curiously: "Boss, you don't seem to think much of Bao Beier."
"Do you feel that from the perspective of an audience, seeing this face on the big screen is a bit uncomfortable."
"It seems to be a bit like this, but the light has fed him a lot of resources."
"It's useless no matter how much resources we throw at it."
I can only say that the audience connection is a wonderful feeling.
Zhou Yutang couldn't understand why Guangguang Laowang took Bao Bei'er as his first brother.
This so-called 3D magic masterpiece, in addition to the main creators Li Binbin and Chen Kun, also has The Voice singer Jike Junyi.
Although he is not as successful as Deng Ziqi and his ability to attract money is not as good as Wu Mochou, Jike Junyi has successfully established himself in the entertainment industry with his image of a black beauty.
Even because of his unique image, he is favored by Europe and the United States, and he also made a comeback in the Hollywood blockbuster "The Last War".
Facts have proven that as long as you gain a foothold in this circle, you can gain wealth that ordinary people cannot imagine.
A commercial performance can cost hundreds of thousands, as well as concerts and various endorsements. Even if you put aside the company's share, earning several million a year is just like playing.
Over the past few years, this girl who came out of a mountain village has earned wealth that ordinary people cannot accumulate in a lifetime, and she has become a human spirit.
Zhou Yutang had not had much dealings with her, but the latter still took the initiative and showed respect to the big boss.
Other celebrities also came over to say hello. Zhou Yutang was chatting with Li Xiaoping, who was sent by the Light to hold off the battle, when his attention was suddenly attracted by Sister Lianhua's sexy words on the stage:
"I have loved you for so many years without getting any response. This time I finally get what I want."
The audience in the audience was immediately in an uproar.
One is a top star in the circle, and the other is a representative actor of the Mesozoic era.
The key is that the love life of these two people is very mysterious and makes shocking remarks, which naturally attracts attention.
After Chen Kun was briefly stunned, he also said: "I think you are cooperating with me in this drama because you want to sleep with me."
Can this also be said?
The friends were all shocked.
"Who said I want to sleep with you?"
Li Binbin laughed and teased: "I have relatively high requirements for boys' figure. At least it must be like Yu Tang's in "The Lonely Agent". You can take off one part for me to see."
Zhou Yutang, who was originally sitting in the audience eating melon, suddenly became the target of public criticism. Facing the eyes of the musicians at the scene, Zhou Yutang couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
The scene of him shaving his head in front of the mirror in "The Last Man" is still a classic scene several years later.
Many celebrities and entertainers mention their bodies frequently in variety shows and interviews.
"It just so happens that Yu Tang is here too today."
Chen Kun, who is also an old man, said without changing his face: "Everyone knows that he has a good figure. I also know that your figure is not bad. I have seen it."
Nowadays, the social atmosphere is really becoming more and more open.
It was quite a lively launch conference.
In addition to Li Binbin and Chen Kun, the film will be directed by Zhao Tianyu, the director of "A Tale of Two Foods", and will also have Oscar Best Cinematography Award winner Bao Dexi as a producer.
The slogan has been shouted at the press conference that the entire film has an investment of 250 million, and will use full 3D real-life shooting to be on par with "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Secret of the Dragon".
Create brilliance.
Zhou Yutang also smiled.
Looking at Li Xiaoping, who was the producer, she looked very expectant, and I mourned for her for three seconds in my heart.
Coming to America again, Zhou Yutang still didn't feel the sweetness of the air.
It was only a few days before the Oscar ceremony, and Lao Mouzi had already brought his team here in advance.
I have to say that the ranks of the national masters are really quite large.
As soon as Zhou Yutang's plane landed, he didn't even have time to see his project, so he met with people from Sony to discuss the copyright of Lao Mouzi's new film.
"Zhou, it's a pleasure to work with you."
“A pleasure to work with.”
The person Sony sent to discuss cooperation was a middle-aged white man with a classic appearance.
One look at the hairstyle shows that he is a strong man, and with his slightly protruding belly, he looks a bit rich.
He shook hands with Zhou Yutang, with a kind smile on his face: "I wish you success at this year's Oscars."
"I'd like to lend you some good words."
Zhou Yutang is also very comfortable.
The negotiations went smoothly. Sony spent 18 million US dollars to buy out the distribution rights of Zhang Yimou's latest work "Return" in North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand and other places outside the Asia-Pacific region.
This is also the twelfth time Sony has represented the distribution rights of Zhang Yimou's films abroad.
Big directors are so well-prepared that even before the movie is released, there are people willing to spend money to pay for it.
Zhou Yutang is naturally happy to see the success. Anyway, the domestic box office is still in hand, so he can recoup most of the production costs, so why not?
"Purge 2" has a good film effect. The absurd and desolate Killing Day projects the reality of the gap between rich and poor.
People who like this kind of movies full of violent thriller crime elements will definitely like it very much.
As long as you capture this part of the audience and continue the good reputation from the first step, it is not difficult to make money.
With the power of final editing in hand, Zhou Yutang proposed several detailed modifications to make the film's rhythm smoother.
"Zhou, the focus of publicity resources is still on "Super Body". This movie is scheduled to be released in June. What do you think?"
"Okey, I have no objection."
After several collaborations with Bob, the two had a tacit understanding and went to the filming location of "Fifty Shades of Grey" while chatting in the car.
What I took today happened to be a scene not suitable for children.
Rope, whip, handcuffs
The various weapons collected by this perverted single billionaire male protagonist are very good and powerful.
Ni Ni followed Zhou Yutang, blushing. On the other hand, Zhou Yutang was not only calm and relaxed, but even tried out the props with great interest.
When we returned to the hotel, we met Wang Jiawei.
The sunglasses king wore a pair of sunglasses on his nose. When he saw Zhou Yutang, he grinned, "Director Zhou, long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Being able to hear familiar Chinese in a foreign country feels somewhat intimate.
After giving Ni Ni a holiday and asking her to buy gifts, Zhou Yutang turned around and chatted with the Sunglasses King.
The King of Sunglasses takes too much trouble in making a movie, tossing actors, investors, screenwriters, and himself
But it is undeniable that he is indeed a genius.
Especially the characters photographed by the Sunglasses King are naturally full of style.
This is worth learning.
There are only two days left in the awards ceremony, and there are already overwhelming movie posters and brochures. While Zhou Yutang is busy promoting the project, he has to socialize.
"Yu Tang, how about we collaborate on the drama "Zhou Chu"?"
Lao Mouzi is really so energetic that it makes people go numb. He has just finished "Return" and is starting to think about his next drama.
This was not the first time that the National Master was invited. Hawthorn Tree extended an olive branch at the beginning. At that time, Zhou Yutang had no challenge for the role, so he promoted Brother Long to take the position.
But this time Zhou Yutang was quite interested in Zhou Chu's book, but he did not agree immediately: "Director Zhang, let's see when the time comes. "Qing Yu Nian 2" will be launched in the first half of this year, at least until the middle of the year."
"No problem, I'll wait for you."
Zhang Yimou looked at the person he chose with joy in his eyes and said firmly: "There is no one more suitable for this male lead than you."
