Chapter 669 She wants to improve
Because of "Diaosi Man", Qiao Bin was awarded a series of nicknames such as "King of Health Care" and "Foot Bath Fairy".
This time, he played a sissy agent in "Jianbing Man".
They had dealt with each other when filming "Charlotte's Troubles" last year. Yang Mi had a good relationship with Jiangdong contracted artist Qiao Bin in the crew of "Jianbing Man".
They were close friends who shared photos on Weibo and liked posts on WeChat Moments.
"Jianbing Man", a comedy about a small person, did not meet the psychological expectations of most audiences, and Dong Xiaopeng was criticized a lot.
However, such an exaggerated return on investment ratio has made Sohu's boss Zhang laugh from ear to ear.
Da Mimi also made money, and she was in a good mood. The assistant also excitedly gossiped:
"Sister Mi, the box office of "Jianbing Man" dropped a little too fast. Some netizens said that Anle was stealing the box office..."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Someone has revealed it, look."
The assistant sent his link to Yang Mi's WeChat.
An insider posted the box office details of a certain Anle Cinema on the Internet.
The screenings of other movies were consistent with the movie information released by the cinema on the same day, except for the movie "Monster Hunt".
"The cinema has closed down, so why did they arrange extra early morning screenings for ghosts?"
"Not only are the midnight screenings full, but the attendance rate must reach 108%, which means that 7 or 8 out of every 100 viewers will stand to watch the whole thing."
The female assistant is a girl from Northeast China, with a flying tongue and strong offensive power.
Da Mimi is not the first day in this circle, so she naturally knows the unspoken rules.
In order to ensure the screening schedule of their own "Pancake Man", they bought the first day box office, but they didn't do it so blatantly.
Are there any secret operations such as ghost screenings in Zhou Yutang's "The Tuner" and "The Return of the Great Sage"?
Da Mimi shook her head and discarded the absurd idea in her mind.
Based on her understanding of Zhou Yutang.
It must be disdainful.
Just by his name, the quality is guaranteed.
The cinema has a guaranteed schedule, so why do we need these tricks?
Thinking of Zhou Yutang, Yang Mi couldn't help but glance at the WeChat chat box again, but there was no reply yet.
In this case, the only way is to use the big trick.
Just after finding the angle to take dozens of photos, selecting the most attractive photos of beautiful legs and clicking to send, Yang Mi suddenly received a call from Zeng Jia,
"Hello, Sister Jia?"
"Mi Mi, SMG has agreed."
"Sister Jia, really?!" Yang Mi sat up straight suddenly.
"I just met with President Tang, and she said that the details of the contract need to be discussed. If everything goes well, we can get the money next month at the latest..."
Zeng Jia's voice was full of surprise that was about to overflow.
"That's great."
Yang Mi's mind was full of emotions.
She and Zeng Jia wanted to raise funds to promote the company's listing for a long time, and she didn't know how many times they were rejected during the period, or the other party offered some unacceptable harsh conditions.
After Zhou Yutang took her to the dinner of the big bosses in the Shanghai circle.
Everything has changed.
A thousand cups of wine is not as good as a word from the true God.
Perhaps in the eyes of those people, most of the value and potential of Mixing Investment lies in her.
In addition.
The more important part is that Zhou Yutang has shares in Mixing Company.
This time, "The Pancake Man" has a big box office. In the eyes of those who are interested, it is hard to say that Zhou Yutang is behind the scenes.
Yang Mi doesn't care what those people think.
She is a very realistic woman.
It is better to have value than to have no value.
Zeng Jia also mentioned Chen Yao.
Before this, Chen Yao was also a little transparent, and no business resources had anything to do with her.
But now, with the role of Yue Qiluo, she has attracted a lot of fans, and several business people have already bet on stocks in advance.
This is probably one of the chips that have potential in the eyes of those huge capitals.
"Mi Mi, the official announcement of "The Bounty Hunter" will be made soon. When your roadshow is over, we will go to Shanghai to discuss with Mr. Tang in detail."
Mixing Company is full of vitality, and Zeng Jia's voice sounds high-spirited:
"The Pancake Man is a big hit at the box office. We are the producer. There are also "Dear Translator" and Xiao Ma's movie. They are all our bargaining chips."
"Jia Jie, you can arrange it. I will talk to Chen Yao about the schedule first."
Yang Mi's mouth curled up. After talking with Zeng Jia about the company, she immediately called Chen Yao to share her joy.
"Congratulations, Yao Jie, Jia Jie is connecting you with business resources!"
"Ah? Mi Jie, I..."
Chen Yao herself was a little confused.
"Silly Yao Jie, you are popular and will be endorsed soon."
Yang Mi chuckled.
Bringing a newcomer out, full of sense of accomplishment.
"Thank you Mi Jie."
Chen Yao was a little uncomfortable with this sudden surge in attention.
"Your class should be over, right?"
"Yes, Teacher Liu just finished class."
Chen Yao politely greeted Teacher Liu Tianchi who came out of the classroom with a bag.
The Film Academy was on vacation, and she asked Da Mimi's relationship to pay money to enter Shanxia Academy for acting training.
At the beginning, Zhou Yutang's original intention of establishing Shanxia Academy was just to make the acting skills of Jiangdong Entertainment's new generation of artists worthy of the audience.
Gradually, it became famous, and Shanxia Academy also began to recruit some students from outside.
More and more people in the circle signed up for improving their acting skills or for other reasons, and the business gradually expanded.
After transforming into a company, Zhou Yutang took some shares, including Zhou Xun, Liu Tianchi, Zhou Shufang, etc. as shareholders.
Mainly engaged in artist acting training business.
There are currently two courses: beginner and intermediate, which are only open to acquaintances in the circle.
Newcomers like Chen Yao are enrolled in the junior acting training class offered by Mihang Company.
The people who take the class are either professors from Nortel and China Opera, or national first-class actors, all talented actors.
"It's been a long time since I went to class."
Damimi muttered, she was also an honorary student in the intermediate class of Yamashita Academy.
She belongs to the atmosphere group who pays hundreds of thousands in tuition every year but rarely attends classes. After all, she has a scary amount of schedule announcements.
After chatting with Chen Yao about possible business endorsements for a while, Yang Mi said in a brisk voice:
"I asked Sister Jia to save your schedule. There are two dramas in the second half of the year. When the time comes, I will bring you into the group."
"Thank you, Sister Mi."
"Thank you for what."
Yang Mi crossed her beautiful legs and said domineeringly: "I said it when we signed the contract, I must make you famous."
"The action comedy film "The Bounty Hunter" co-produced by China and South Korea has officially confirmed the starring cast. Lee Min Ho and Chung Han-liang will be the male protagonists to form a multinational duo, and Yang Mi will play the female lead!
The film has an investment of over 200 million and combines action, comedy, reasoning, suspense and other elements. It will be filmed in mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Tyrande and other places! "
"It is reported that "Pancake Man" is a box office hit, and Yang Mi is one of the film's producers, and may benefit a lot from this."
"Yang Mi is showing off her beautiful legs in a white T-shirt and hot pants during her road show. She is in great condition and full of energy!"
"Yang Mi has really taken off."
"I heard that the company is talking about financing, and it will be capital honey soon."
In the past few days at the end of the month, the hot searches were all about Damimi, and the crew was also discussing it.
Zhou Yutang had a calm expression on his face, and his heart swayed slightly as he thought of the private photos of her beautiful legs that Yang Mi posted last night.
This is a little secret between two people. Even Da Meiyuan doesn’t know about it, but she still admires her deeply:
"In one summer vacation, there are three movies to be released. I heard that there are several more dramas in the second half of the year. She is really working hard."
"She did it all. Not many people can do it."
Mahua Gemini also felt this.
If you want to be distinguished in front of others, you must not suffer in the back.
Overall, Damimi may not be as good as Liu Tianxian and Liu Shishi.
Just talking about career ambition, it can pull the two Lius of the Buddhist salted fish together and make them fall apart...
The scene scheduled for tonight is the hospital scene.
A lot of extras were hired, as well as Tyrande's local co-production team.
"Good guy."
Ning Hao looked at Tony Jaa, Tyrande's number one martial arts star, who clasped his hands towards Zhou Yutang and said "Sawadika", and said jokingly:
"Tylanders also read the four major masterpieces of our Chinese entertainment industry?"
"Tony Jaa is an old friend."
Zhou Yutang glanced sideways and smiled lightly.
Starting from "The Lonely Agent" to "Slaying the Wolf 2", I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Tony Jaa.
After all, he is also an international martial arts star. He came to guest star in the name of a friend and didn't even take any money.
"What happened to the co-production team?" Ning Hao was very interested in this.
"When in town, do as the Romans do."
Zhou Yutang smiled meaningfully.
Tyrande's first sister attached great importance to him and gave orders internally. It can be said that this filming was given a green light.
Filmed in Bangkok, the tourism department and other agencies assisted in road closures, and even the Bangkok Police Bureau borrowed it for several days. Then there was a chase scene near the Grand Palace in Bangkok.
Zhou Yutang did not go beyond the rules and hired a professional local shooting team from Tyrande.
The so-called co-production team is responsible for various trivial matters such as venue coordination, equipment rental, and group performance recruitment.
Having an intermediary communicate with the Thai side saves a lot of trouble and improves shooting efficiency.
This is not the first time the two parties have cooperated.
"Manslaughter", "The Tuner", and even "Big Buddha", which is contracted with Jiangdong director Zhang Yimou, may also be shot in Tyrande.
"Mr. Zhou, it's almost done."
"Then let's get started, all departments are ready."
A Xiang, who was shot, was taken to the hospital. Tang Ren felt guilty and blamed himself, and then he was hunted down, causing chaos in the hospital.
"Axiang, you love me so much and are willing to block the bullet for me. How could I let her down?" Bao was so anxious that he circled around the door of the operating room.
"Are you thinking too much?" Lu Han panted, observing his surroundings, and complained mercilessly.
"When he gets better, I will have children with her, many, many children."
The uncle and nephew were sitting on chairs outside the operating room having a heart-to-heart talk.
"Is there anyone who is comfortable living in China and is willing to come out?"
"There is a reason to stay, and there is a reason to come out."
Recalling the experience of being cuckolded, a trace of bitterness appeared on Bao's honest face.
"People think you are living a prosperous life outside, but in fact, if you lose your tooth, you will swallow it yourself."
"Ka! Passed, next game."
Zhou Yutang shouted from behind the monitor.
The crew started to get busy.
Lu Han was relieved. He finally did not hold back. He sincerely admired Bao Hao beside him: "Brother Bao Hao, you did a great job."
I usually laugh and laugh, but in the scene just now, Wang Bao's acting skills were extremely infectious.
"Little Deer, you're not bad either."
Bao Hao patted Lu Han on the shoulder, grinned and said, "You have to pay attention to this scene later."
After the two had a heart-to-heart talk, Axiang was fine, but Xiao Shen Yang and Huang Langdeng arrived with their men.
The three parties meet.
Qin Feng is in a hurry and wisdom arises, and water pours on the electric gate.
In the darkness, gunfire intertwined, and people fell on their backs.
It's the end of the month.
The stranded Eastern Titanic returns as king again.
Bona's Fatty Yu has already posted on WeChat Moments: "No more words! Bona Pictures' theaters are all adding extra shows on weekends to support Wu Baige's epic masterpiece "The Other Shore"!"
The current head of China Film Group, La Pei Kang, has also made moves, adjusting theater resources and preparing to help Wu Baige's "The Other Side" set sail again.
"Previously, after the release of "The Taiping (Part 1)", the audience was disappointed that the heroine Zhang Ziyi did not board the ship until the end of the film and did not get to see the shipwreck scene.
This scene invited top technical talents from Hollywood, South Korea and China to work together to complete it. Even if you have not watched the first part, you can watch the second part alone, and the story will be even more soul-stirring. "
Wu Baige kept a very low profile at the premiere.
He has strong connections in Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, and major directors and celebrities are also promoting him.
This time, not only did the talented director Xu Ke be invited to edit the film, but Luo Dayou was also invited to create a theme song tailor-made for the film.
Adou, can you help me up?
Zhou Yutang holds a conservative opinion on this.
It's not because he has any prejudice against Wu Baige.
As a major international director who was once qualified to direct Hollywood's A-level productions, he must have something special about him.
It's just that it failed to grasp the Chinese film market, and that's an indisputable fact.
Now that the tone of the movie has been set, the reputation of the first half of the movie is completely negative feedback.
"The Tuner" was fully screened and finally settled at 915 million. Zhou Yutang glanced at the next few movies to be released.
It took six years to film "Yang Guifei", and Teacher Fan played Yang Yuhuan, one of the four beauties.
Principal Gu is also very busy this summer. He first collaborated with Tong Yaya and Yu Wenle on a police action film "Mystery City", and then collaborated with Wen Yongshan on "Paris Vacation".
The rest of "Mermaid: Pirates Attack", "Terrorist Swimming Pool", "Made by Men" and so on were directly ignored by Zhou Yutang.
These movies with no casts and no announcements are basically cannon fodder for the summer season.
Soon, under the crazy stranglehold of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Monster Hunting".
Excluding "Mystery City" which had a box office of 29.72 million on the first day, "Yang Guifei" only took in a box office of 27.8 million.
The basics of Monkey King are very stable. After 23 days of release, the box office has soared to 1.551 billion, and the single-day box office is still stable over 30 million.
At this time, the box office of "Monster Hunt" also surged past the 1.2 billion threshold.
However, the box office stealing thing is getting worse.
Boss Jiang noticed that the trend was wrong and issued a public welfare statement in advance:
""Monster Hunt" is being screened for charity. In order to give back to a specific group of viewers to watch the movie for free, the short interval between rounds is due to errors in the screening of some movie theaters. Charity screenings will be suspended for the next two weeks..."
Film and television companies in the industry all know what's going on.
Audiences who knew the inside story were also full of cynicism.
But the ginger is still spicy, and the meat is already in your mouth.
Industry data analysis institutions have made predictions that both movies are expected to hit a potential of 2 billion.
One side is triumphant and the other side is dejected.
Just as Zhou Yutang expected.
The audience is not stupid.
I was attracted by the slogan of Titanic Orient and walked into the cinema. I ended up taking one bite. How could I take a second bite?
On the first day of release, it only collected 7.68 million box office.
"Friendly reminder, I reviewed the previous relationship for a full thirty minutes."
"It's a bad movie, not worth going to the cinema."
"Such a strong cast was wasted."
What followed was overwhelming doubts, pushing this once internationally renowned director to the forefront.
After returning to China, starting from "Red Cliff", he lost consecutive battles and lost face.
La Pei Kang has given the greatest care in arranging films for theaters, but the market still ruthlessly abandoned Wu Baige.
Several big-name starring actors each found reasons to avoid the road show.
Director Wu Da's original promotional plans were all cancelled.
The unscrupulous media in the Mainland wanted to rub salt into his wounds, but in the end they couldn't see Director Wu himself at all.
It turned out that he had gone to Bay Province to recover from his injuries, but the local media in Bay Province caught him. Wu Baige said helplessly:
"The promotion of the film was not strong enough. Not only did colleagues say that the film was spoiled by the wrong scheduling, but also investors felt that it was a pity."
"Are you saying that the poor box office performance is due to the promotion of the release?"
“The movie’s box office performance is not as good as expected, which is certainly not a one-sided factor.
I'm not too depressed, just a little shaken.
I thought that this film, which had a lot of hard work and the actors worked very hard, would be popular, but I didn't expect that the market trend suddenly changed.
Xu Ke just said something to me yesterday. Now no one dares to say that he has perfectly grasped the post-90s audience, except for one person. "
"Director Wu, is Director Xu talking about Zhou Yutang?"
"Then you go ask Director Xu."
The expression on Wu Baige's face was a bit lonely: "This world has undergone some changes. We are no longer adapted to the current world. We are too nostalgic."
News of Wu Baige's interview quickly appeared in the media, triggering widespread discussion.
“Given so many resources, it’s a waste to make one project at a time.”
Chen Xi spoke unforgivingly: "Wu Baige has indeed been eliminated by the market."
In the early years, Wu Baige had publicly stated that he would "use mainland funds to support Hong Kong and Taiwan stars", and his rift with the governor was well known.
Chen Xi naturally stood firmly on his boss's side.
Zhou Yutang had no sympathy for him, nor did he regard him as an opponent.
In terms of status and performance, there is no comparison at all.
"The Return of the Great Sage" is already in its fourth week of release, and it can still beat "The Other Side".
The two are not on the same level at all.
In the past few days, even the official media have stepped down to support "The Return of the Great Sage".
This animated film embodies the Chinese spirit very well. In addition to creating box office miracles, it also sounded the clarion call for the rise of the Chinese animation industry.
"The Long Propaganda Department is taking the lead and there will be another seminar."
Every time there is a phenomenal movie, there is always a seminar, and this time is no exception.
Zhou Yutang was on the set and received a notice from Tong Gang.
The news about Anle in the circle attracted his attention, and he turned to ask Ni Ni,
"Are you still doing some tricks over there?"
"I've been paying attention, but it's not sucking blood on our side."
Ni Ni couldn't help but asked curiously: "Boss, how did you know this in advance and even say hello to Mr. Jiang?"
"The quality of the movie is not that high, and the box office growth is obviously unreasonable."
Zhou Yutang said slowly, replying to Tianxian's message in his hand.
"What if he gets the great sage in trouble?"
"Ask Boss Jiang if you dare to do one."
There was a gentle smile on Zhou Yutang's cheeks, but the cold gaze still made Ni Nitong feel cold all over.
My boss doesn't bother to do those little tricks behind his back.
But no one can try to trick him with off-board moves.
With Zhou Yutang's current strength, he can definitely do this.
Speaking of which, the box office of "Monster Hunt" might have been higher, but unfortunately the omni-channel marketing of "The Return of the Monkey King" was too overbearing.
Seizing the first opportunity, with its explosive reputation, it attracted countless viewers to play the game for the second or even third time.
"Boss, the Great Sage's extension key is going through the process."
"The news reported by Jiang Xuezhen is that the shooting cycle of Director Kong will be four months.
And that suspense drama will be completed next month at the latest. At that time, a media conference will be held to announce the mist theater. This is the film list. "
Ni Ni handed over the tablet in his hand.
The suspense drama she talks about is "Signal", which was planned by Jiangdong Entertainment in the first half of the year.
This play is the pioneering work of Jiangdong Mist Theater.
Zhou Yutang took the film list report and glanced at it. There was no surprise, and he said casually: "You let Sister Shuang take care of it."
The first weekend box office of "The Other Side" was over RMB 30 million, making Wu Baige the second major director to be stigmatized during the summer season after Poets Chan.
In August, Miss Liu was somewhat active on social media.
A few days ago, I posted a selfie of myself holding the black cat Dongdong, which made many fans wish they could replace him with the cat.
I woke up this morning with renewed interest and updated a photo of myself without makeup just after waking up.
She was only wearing a simple pink T-shirt and no makeup.
The green hair is like splashing ink, quiet and lazy, and the beauty is pure and refined.
"I like you, you are so great [admiration]"
"Control me hard, I love you so much, wife [admiration] [heart]"
"What's going on lately? Sissi updates Weibo so frequently?"
"She seems to have remembered that she still has a Weibo account."
"It's best to update it every day, it's very eye-catching."
Fans were also very excited in the comment area.
Zhou Yutang also sent her a message, joking:
"It can be seen that he is really full of sleep."
Normally, when Miss Liu doesn't sleep well, she gets irritated when she wakes up.
"Xiao Zhou, are you still on the set?"
“On the way to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.”
"Isn't it in Bangkok?" Miss Liu made a confused expression.
"It's in Samutsongkhram in Thailand, about 100 kilometers away from Bangkok, about an hour and a half's drive."
Zhou Yutang casually sent a photo of the scenery along the way.
"When will it be completed?"
"It will probably have to wait until late August."
Zhou Yutang's original shooting period was about one and a half months.
Work is currently being started day and night, and the progress is nearly half completed. It is expected to be completed in about 40 days.
"That's it, I'm going to shoot the cover of VOGUE for the 9th time soon."
Miss Liu's voice was inexplicably cheerful and lively.
"Congratulations, it's a grand slam from the five major magazines."
Zhou Yutang laughed softly.
Miss Liu's fashion resources are truly at the level of empresses of her generation.
There are not many scenes in the floating market. In the following days, Zhou Yutang's crew has been filming in Bangkok.
However, Tyrande is a tourist attraction after all, and there are still many tourists who come here to join in the fun.
The local police station was watching, but they couldn't handle the crowd.
He held up his mobile phone to take various photos, and eventually a few stills of scenes shot in the downtown area leaked out.
It quickly made headlines and hot searches in various domestic media.
There was an uproar outside, but Zhou Yutang didn't care.
Ning Hao was stunned. This guy's energy was terrifying.
After shooting during the day, I still had to do editing work at night. I declined all media interviews and worked hard to push forward the progress.
but.
After all, something unexpected happened.
