Chapter 606 The box office of

Zhou Yutang has a track record since his debut, and he is a professional at bringing girls to the top.

Although he is older than Zhou Yutang and cannot be considered a "girl" in any case, Lao Cai feels at ease hugging her thigh.

The hostage is still in his hands.

Liu Shishi has no intention of being a hostage.

Coming to Jiangdong Entertainment is as comfortable as going home.

At this moment, he is chatting with the girl at the front desk about the food of a restaurant that has just opened in Beijing.

Ding!

The elevator has reached the ninth floor of Jiangdong.

When Lao Cai brought Liu Shishi out, they happened to meet Hou Hongliang, who was in the midday sun, holding a bag and walking towards the elevator.

Seeing Hou Hongliang walking with his head held high, his face flushed, and his expression with an irrepressible smile, Cai Yinong's heart turned slightly, what good thing has happened?

"Hello, Mr. Hou."

"What a coincidence?"

Hou Hongliang was slightly startled, and when he saw the big and small Liu Shishi, he smiled instantly: "Hello, Mr. Cai, hello, Shishi... Mr. Zhou is in the office."

The elevator arrived soon, and they just greeted each other, but didn't talk much.

When Cai Yinong brought Liu Shishi into the office, he happened to see Zhou Yutang standing in front of the French window and making a phone call.

It seemed that he was talking to a big boss of the theater about the scheduling of "Heart Flower Road".

There was a light bulb still on the side, and Liu Shishi wanted to be more reserved.

But when he saw the tall and straight figure, he missed her and walked forward quickly and hugged Zhou Yutang's waist from behind.

Putting her cheek on his broad shoulders, smelling the familiar smell on the man, Liu Shishi narrowed her eyes slightly, like a lazy cat.

The two of them snuggled up in front of the window, both beautiful like a picture.

Without doing anything, he just ate a mouthful of dog food. Old Cai sat on the sofa in the waiting area, lowered his head and pretended not to see it, but his ears stood up like antennas.

"Haha, is it Shishi next to you?"

"Hello, Mr. Wu." Liu Shishi greeted politely.

"Haha, hello, hello. Yutang, let's do it this way for now. The old guy won't disturb you young people talking about love."

"I will definitely ask Mr. Wu for a few drinks when I go to Shanghai some other day."

"Then it's settled."

After the chat, a few key words turned slightly in Cai Yinong's mind, and instantly deduced the image of a spirited old man.

Wu Heru of the New United Cinema?

No wonder the screening schedule of "Heart Flower Road" has been rising all the way.

Zhou Yutang has a deep relationship with several major cinema leaders in China. Cai Yinong knows this, but from Wu Heru's intimate tone to Liu Shishi, it seems that he is also quite familiar with him.

Old Cai is a little envious.

She had met Mr. Wu at a drinking party in Shanghai, and the old man was a little cold.

Tangren has some background in the TV drama circle, but in the film circle, it doesn't even have the qualifications to sit at the table.

"Sister Cai?"

Liu Shishi called out softly, pulling the humble little Cai back to reality, moving her butt and saying, "Yutang, congratulations, "Heart Flower Road" is a big hit at the box office."

"Sister Cai, we are all family, just tell me if you have something to say."

"It's really a small matter."

Cai Yinong certainly didn't come here with Liu Shishi to eat dog food. Tangren Film and Television also has projects to do, and she wants to come and talk to Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang took the project plan handed over by Cai Yinong and listened carefully while flipping through it.

Old Cai has been in the TV drama circle for so many years, and he still has vision.

Since the "The Legend of the Desert" project was rejected by Zhou Yutang, he has re-conducted market research and clarified Tangren's project layout this year.

The final target was "The Legend of Qin" and "The Untamed".

According to Cai Yinong's idea.

"The Legend of Qin" is the company's main hit, and "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" is a gamble.

The former is a popular original Chinese martial arts animation series with countless fans in China, and it has the potential to be a big hit.

The latter is adapted from the online work of the same name by Ni Luo. The original work is not a popular IP, but it wins in terms of novel content and subject matter, and may bring some surprises.

Cai Yinong paid attention to Zhou Yutang's expression, and waited until he finished reading the specific plans of the two projects before asking, "What do you think?"

"Sister K, you have a good eye."

Lu Yi was invited to play Gai Nie, Jin Daxi to play Duan Mu Rong, Jiang Jingfu to play Tian Ming, and Sun Yizhou to play Wei Zhuang.

Zhou Yutang looked at the stills, and Sun Yizhou reminded him of Lu Xiaobu inexplicably.

Compared with the outstanding animation of the Qin Dynasty, it can't be said to be mediocre, but it can also be said to have no highlights.

Although he was conservative about the prospects of the show, he did not pour cold water on Cai Yinong. After all, the money had been spent and the TV series had been filmed. It was inevitable that saying these things now would be a bit disappointing.

Zhou Yutang looked at the project of "Wuxin: The Monster Killer" very carefully and was also interested.

Mainly because he had read the original novel of "Wuxin: The Monster Killer", which was divided into four parts.

The first part was about the Republic of China period, the second part was about the Anti-Japanese War period, the third part was about that sensitive period, and the fourth part was about the modern period.

In terms of the nature of the subject matter and the current review restrictions, only the Republic of China period and the modern period can be filmed. At present, Tangren is preparing to make the first Republic of China chapter.

After Zhou Yutang praised her like this, Cai Yinong smiled and felt that her confidence had returned.

"This kind of subject matter cannot be broadcast on the stars. Sister K, you should contact Director Jiang and put it on Bilibili at that time."

After Zhou Yutang carefully read the project list, a figure flashed through his mind.

Cai Yinong came and went in a hurry.

After meeting with Jiang Xuerong that day, he flew back to Shanghai.

Liu Shishi took two days off to accompany Zhou Yutang to relieve her longing for him.

On that day, she booked a theater at her home theater and watched "Heart Flower Road".

After watching the movie with Da Meiyuan, Zhou Yutang watched it for the fifth time and could even recite the lines by heart.

"Huang Bo and Xu Zheng are really good at acting."

"Tangtang is so beautiful, Xiao Zhao is a bit non-mainstream. The part with Teacher Wang Jianhui is the funniest. Lei Datou only has one line, how can he be so funny."

"Lei Datou didn't get a penny of pay, and he brought his own drinks to the crew. The original script of that scene was not like this. It was purely their free play on the spot."

Sometimes, filming a movie is like this, not completely following the script.

A talented actor will occasionally have a flash of inspiration, and then it may become the highlight of the whole movie.

Liu Haha, who came out of the cinema with Zhou Yutang on his arm, was visibly happy.

The two of them were so happy after a short separation that they started to make out in the car.

When they returned to the villa, they recited poems and said no more.

After the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Zhou Yutang put Liu Shishi on the sofa, and then he also lay on the sofa, resting his head on her thighs.

He wanted to have sex again in the bathroom, but Liu Shishi wanted to watch "Love O2O", so he had to give up.

"It's started, it's started, don't move, it's itchy."

Liu Shishi stared at the TV and slapped Zhou Yutang's hand on her thigh.

"I always tell you my wishes lightly

I also give you a look that cannot be expressed in thousands of words

There are always people in this world who are busy looking for treasures, but they miss the sunshine of the world and the world."

"Love O2O" has also been marketed for a long time. Liu Shishi has always been paying attention to it and even booked a game with the same name as the TV series.

"This song "One Smile to Allure the City" is pretty nice. I think it was sung by Wang Sulong."

"It's really good."

Zhou Yutang sat up and gently combed Liu Shishi's smooth hair with his fingers.

The QQ music giants who were as famous as him at that time, Xu Song and Wang Sulong, were all signed artists of Mingjie Company.

As the theme song ended, the first episode officially began.

The violent roar of the beast shook the quiet bamboo forest, and leaves fell in the air, and two figures were thrown away.

A hideous and ugly monster beat its chest and roared, then took a step and bounced off the ground.

When the monster landed, the ground cracked and sand and rocks flew up.

The arrows condensed with golden light streaked across the sky like meteors.

"Wow, the texture is very good, it feels like watching a movie."

Liu Shishi watched with relish, and Zhou Yutang's mouth corners showed a slight arc.

Just the opening scene of fighting monsters in the game, shot with green screen, and post-processing special effects cost several million.

If it were in other dramas, it would be almost the special effects cost of the entire drama.

You get what you pay for, and the effect is naturally good.

Monsters are not so easy to kill.

Nazha is dressed in red, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, charming eyes, and a hot body.

Well, actually her body is not hot.

But it is already very visually impactful, with a breathtaking beauty.

Especially when her pretty face is cold and murderous, and she holds a giant knife that does not match her body size in her hand, she is like a heroic female knight.

Boom!

The flaming giant knife cuts through the void, and the air is cut like fragile paper.

The hideous monster also fell down with a bang.

Guli Nazha is the heroine Lu Weiwei, who is also a sophomore in the computer department of a university in the imperial capital and a game master.

But Zhenshui Wuxiang, who fights monsters with her, is not the male protagonist.

Zhenshui Wuxiang wanted to ask Luwei Weiwei out, but Luwei Weiwei refused.

She felt that games were games and reality was reality.

So Zhenshui Wuxiang had to settle for the next best thing and wanted to see Weiwei's photos. As a result, at this time, Weiwei's roommate Erxi was cooking in the dormitory with an electric stove, which caused a power outage and burned her computer.

Liu Shishi was no longer talking and was completely immersed in it.

She was originally a homegirl.

She used to have a glorious record of playing games until four in the morning.

This novel story that interweaves games with reality has successfully aroused her interest in watching the drama.

Bei Weiwei, who was abandoned by her game CP Zhenshui Wuxiang, looked a little pitiful, but soon met the male protagonist Dashen Monet played by Chen Xiao.

"This Zhen Shaoxiang is really blind. He was attracted by Xiaoyu Yaoyao. It is obvious that Bei Weiwei played by Nazha is the most beautiful!"

"Why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing."

"Honey, are you only playing two episodes?"

After watching two full episodes, the plot has just begun. Liu Shishi still feels unsatisfied and touches the arm of the man next to her.

"There are only 30 episodes in total in this drama. Two episodes a night is already a lot."

Zhou Yutang spread his hands helplessly: "The two TV stations have negotiated in advance. If the ratings are within the expected range, the broadcast rhythm may have to be slowed down."

"Hubby, I want to watch the later ones."

Liu Shishi hung on Zhou Yutang and started to start the invincible coquettish mode.

"Don't watch it, let's play our own games."

"How to play?" Liu Shishi was slightly stunned.

"I don't have Lu Weiwei's costume at home, so I'll just use Red Longkui's."

After the long-awaited "Love O2O" was aired, it quickly sparked heated discussions on various online forums.

"Naza is really beautiful."

"Although Naza is beautiful, I like the bunny girl in "The Divorce Lawyer", that's more interesting."

"It turns out that idol dramas can still be filmed like this. It's eye-opening. Chen Xiao is so handsome."

"Produced by Zhou Yutang, directed by Lin Yufen, plus the good looks of Chen Xiao and Gulinazha, my God, this drama is going to be a hit!"

"Calm down, isn't it normal for a drama produced by Jiangdong to explode?"

"Wall Crack recommends "A Slight Smile Is Charming", you will regret it if you don't watch it!"

"+1"

Early the next morning, Zhou Yutang received reports from the statistics departments of the two TV stations, Modu and Mango.

The premiere ratings of both channels exceeded 1.2, with Mango Channel slightly higher. They both entered the top five in the same time period, ranking only below "Divorce Lawyer".

This year's "Divorce Lawyer", which is the highlight of National Day arranged by Zhejiang and Jiangsu Province TV stations, has a luxurious lineup composed of Wu Xiubo, Yao Chen, Zhang Meng, Fang Zhongxin, Liu Huan, Zhu Yin, Wang Jingchun, etc.

At this time, it has been broadcast for more than half the time. The Jiangsu TV station's ratings are as high as 1.5, and the Baidu index has exceeded one million. It is another hit drama since the summer "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and continues to hold the top spot in the ratings.

However, "A Little Smile Is Allure" has only just been aired. Such results are enough to show the potential of this drama, and it may not be hopeless to unseat "Divorce Lawyer".

The heated dispute over the Golden Eagle Goddess has come to an end.

After Tang Yan won the award at Baihua and achieved overtaking in a corner with great momentum, Yang Mi's fans did not sit back and organized a crazy counterattack in the final stage.

Finally succeeded in stealing the tower and won this year's Golden Eagle Goddess.

"Tang Yan is so angry, isn't she?"

Zhou Yutang has been busy with the post-production of "Qing Yu Nian 2" in the past few days, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Only then did I know from Shi Shi that the "Three Beauties of Immortal Sword" group had not spoken to each other for a while.

Now they each talk to one sister privately, and they will not mention each other in various media events.

"Could we start fighting backstage at Mango?"

Zhou Yutang muttered, this year's Golden Eagle Awards was quite lively.

Yang Mi only made the headlines of the Golden Eagle Goddess, but was soon overshadowed by Xie Tingfeng and the princess's reunion of the century.

The whole nation is talking about eating melons, and after going round and round, Xie Tingfeng finally cannot forget the amazing big sister he met when he was a boy.

The National Day Golden Week holiday is over, and on the 9th day of its release, the total box office of "Heart Blossoms" has already reached 907 million.

With an average daily box office of over RMB 100 million, it has been invincible, supporting the National Day box office market and driving the entire market to rise crazily.

Since the movie was released, the movie has never been a hot search in the entertainment sector on the entire Internet. Baidu and WeChat indexes have both exceeded one million, and the number of topics in major online forums has simultaneously exploded.

The 1 billion mark is very close.

Ning Hao proved to be a great director in the 1 billion box office club, which is a matter of time.

As the investor behind the scenes, Brother Big Dog smiled crookedly.

Galloping Horse and Ning Hao have always had a good relationship.

Even Ning Hao's "No Man's Land", which has been stuck for several years, was paid for by Li Dagou.

The film "Love Is Beautiful" also has an investment from Pony Ma. Since the movie was released, Pony Galloping's stock price has been boosted, rising day by day.

During the same period, "Dear" by great director Chen Kexing only reported 115 million.

Another literary film "The Golden Age" drawn by Xu An reached 38.2 million, and the film schedule has dropped to 6%, and it may not complete the release period.

The entire film and television industry in China is in a prosperous and prosperous state where everything is competing.

This also completely ignited the passion of great directors.

The one that attracted the most attention was "The Wheel" by international director Wu Baige, which released a special shooting episode and stills of the 24-star all-star cast during the National Day.

Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Ziyi had just swept Baihua, and their momentum was at its peak at this time. In addition, the marshal Bi Jingcheng took the stage, and the Asian goddess Masami Nagasawa and Song Hye Kyo were added.

With such a luxurious cast, Wu Baige has great ambitions. After being dormant for several years, he is targeting the entire Asian film market after his return.

Get ready for a big wave.

The Oriental Titanic, which was carved out after six years of floating, is known as an unprecedented and magnificent epic masterpiece. The movie is divided into two parts and has begun an overwhelming marketing campaign. The first shot of the New Year celebration will be launched in early December.

at the same time.

Huayi also made some rumors.

Feng Xiaogang, one of the three major directors, will star in the new film "Old Paoer" with top-notch youngster Wu Yifan who has returned from China, and Li Yifeng, who is highly praised by Huan Rui, and there are also heavyweight superstars joining the cast.

This news immediately caused an uproar in the circle.

The other two directors among the three major directors are not willing to be left alone.

Chen Kaige's "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" and Zhang Yimou's "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" have both entered the advanced stage.

The complete cast of "The Mermaid" by Hong Kong director Zhou Xingxing has been announced and will be launched in a low-key manner soon.

However, just when the topic of "Mermaid" was becoming hotly debated, troubles arose again.

A hot post titled "Why do so many people watch Black Week stars" suddenly appeared on the Internet.

The post details Zhou Xingxing's childhood life, acting career and love experiences, and also clarifies the misunderstandings he has had with people in the industry over the years.

The article mentions Long Wu, a Hong Kong film and television tycoon who has worked with Zhou Xingxing for many years, and hints at his social background.

Mrs. Longwu was not happy about this.

When being interviewed by the media, he opened fire on the spot and detailed Zhou Xingxing's major crimes.

While standing on the moral high ground, he said that he was not afraid of turning against him and wanted to reveal his true face so that the majority of movie fans could see who he was.

The Longwu family in Xiangjiang could not be said to cover the sky with one hand, but it could be considered to have far-reaching influence.

After Madam Longwu spoke, Hong Kong media reported that many local artists in Hong Kong had joined forces to attack Zhou Xingxing.

"Nicole, notify Yinghuang's artists."

As Yinghuang's spokesperson in the Mainland, Huo Wenxi also received the news immediately, made a prompt decision and issued the order:

"When being interviewed, don't express your opinion against Zhou Xingxing."

"OK, Sister Mani."

Nicole understood.

Huo Wenxi browsed the Hong Kong media reports for a while, thought for a moment, and called his boss to report the matter in detail.

"Mani, just do whatever you want."

"I understand, boss."

"That woman is really lost."

Boss Yang showed a smile like an old fox: "When necessary, Yinghuang can side with Zhou Yutang."

What Huo Wenxi admires most is his boss's ability to stand up for others.

It can be called a masterpiece.

At that time, the Hong Kong community was already turning from prosperity to decline, and many people were dreaming of a bright future.

Boss Yang, the head of Yinghuang, saw the situation clearly early on and determined that the future hope of the Chinese entertainment industry would be in the mainland.

Therefore, part of the brilliant film and television industry was transferred to the mainland. In recent years, it has planted a flag and established a firm foothold.

Under such a general trend, the early stage marketing of "Mermaid" was in full swing, and just when it was about to start filming, Mrs. Longwu actually jumped out to cause trouble.

She wanted to make Zhou Xingxing look bad.

Isn't it a slap in the face of the mainland film and television leaders behind Zhou Xingxing?

"What kind of magic gold are you getting?"

Zhou Yutang has been busy with the film and television production of "Qing Yu Nian 2" these days, and heard about this incident from Ni Ni.

After doing gossip for a while, a lot of news reports suddenly appeared, accusing Zhou Xingxing of being a bad character and not knowing how to behave.

However, Mrs. Long Wu is not all on the same side. Fatty Wang Jingwang, who is closely related to the Long Wu family, said it quite cryptically:

"Zhou Xingxing is indeed a very talented person, but it is also true that he has not been happy with many of his partners."

As for Yinghuang's artists, they remained silent after receiving the gag order.

We are all veterans, and we know very well that sometimes we have to keep our mouths shut.

Zhou Xingxing's old partner Wu Mengda actually stood up and spoke for Xingye: "Many people have different criticisms of Xingzai. In fact, maybe Xingzai grew up in a single-parent family and is more mature in many aspects and can protect himself better. The new Friends don’t have heart-to-heart contact, so there are many misunderstandings.”

"Boss, what should I do?"

"Contact Weibo to cool down first."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead: "I don't care what grudges they had in the past, but don't block my way of making money."

Soochow Pictures took a 30% share of "Mermaid" with a production cost of 400 million. This is a key project of the company and cannot be missed.

Zhou Xingxing is not popular in the circle. He may have some character flaws and regards money as extremely important, but Xiang Jia is not a good person either.

"You can handle the rest of the matter."

"I see."

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Ni Ni was very experienced in handling it and called Mrs. Long Wu directly.

"Xiang Tai, I am Ni Ni from Jiangdong Entertainment."

"What's the matter?" The middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone spoke stiffly.

"My boss is very unhappy. This matter has ended here. He doesn't want to see the impact expand any further and it will affect the company's projects."

In the company tea room, Ni Ni is waiting for the barista to make cappuccino for her.

The rhinestone square buckle satin low-heeled flat shoes lightly touch the ground. Under the hip-covering A-line skirt, the graceful white legs are dazzling.

"Who are you? How dare you talk to me like this?"

The middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone suddenly raised her sharp voice a few degrees, trying her best to suppress her anger.

"Sister Ni."

Two female employees from Jiangdong's TV drama business department came to the tea room to get snacks and greeted Ni Ni with a smile.

"This mung bean pancake is quite delicious."

Ni Ni smiled back and took the phone further away.

Holding the coffee, he calmly returned to his seat, crossed his slender legs and said calmly:

"I'm just a little secretary. This is what my boss means."
