Chapter 685: Sisterly Love, a Hot Series
As the saying goes.
Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.
Several teams representing LPL in Paris, France, have run into problems again.
Since the group stage started on October 1, the scene of cutting melons and vegetables as expected by fans has not happened.
What is unimaginable is that.
LGD, the LPL summer champion that was previously highly expected.
A big upset broke out in the group stage of the world finals.
Gao Dewei, who was still talking nonsense in the live broadcast last month and wanted to reserve a skin for Zhou Yutang, became a hot search.
He used the hero Varus in the game, in the last desperate game of returning home.
He panicked and lost his mind. An arrow in the opposite direction circled the earth and shot through the hearts of countless Chinese LPL fans.
"Gao Dewei, are you human?"
"I'm sure and certain that this jungler is definitely bought."
"Fuck, you don't deserve to take a plane, swim back, you're a disgrace."
"You're so bad, is this the most promising year for our LPL?"
League of Legends has a huge influence on young people. Because of the time difference, some games have to wait until after midnight.
Many viewers even stay up late to watch the game out of love.
LGD is the No. 1 seed of LPL. According to the rules of the game, it is grouped with the No. 2, 3, and 4 seeds of other regions.
As a result, they were beaten in turns and couldn't even qualify from the group.
After LGD was eliminated, another LPL team EDG was also eliminated.
EDG, which has a star player, Factory Manager, did qualify from the group, but encountered the European giant FNC team in the quarter-finals.
In the end, they were swept with a score of 0:3 and missed the semi-finals.
The audience of LPL wailed and fell into despair.
The hope of the whole village rests on the Jiangdong team.
"Only Jiangdong is left."
"General, please help! I have recharged a lot of money for the Langya Bang web game!"
"The Jiangdong team should show some strength."
"I am afraid. Jiangdong has not been strong this year. I am a little afraid to watch the game."
The Jiangdong team has been running in since the lineup was updated this year.
In the group stage, they lost the first game and won the second game with difficulty. They stumbled and qualified from the group.
At this time, the Jiangdong team stood up and sent off the South Korean KT team with a score of 3:0 in the quarter-finals held at the Wembley Stadium in London, England.
However, the remaining opponents are still strong.
They are two top South Korean teams, KOO Tigers and SKT, and the old European giants FNC.
Among them, KOO Tigers is sponsored by Huya Live, a giant in China's live broadcast industry.
Jiangdong Entertainment has been eating meat in South Korea, and many investors have started the strategy of laying out South Korea.
Ordinary people may find it difficult to imagine.
There are many film and television companies in South Korea, all of which have Chinese capital background.
Even Kakao, a chat software similar to WeChat in China, has a major shareholder of Penguin Pony.
And Kakao Pay, the payment system built into KAKAO, is the work of Alibaba Ant Group behind the scenes, and it uses the Alipay system!
Zhou Yutang looked through the comments of netizens and communicated with the club coaching team and the training team.
And issued a death order.
He didn't want to hear any excuses, just one result:
That is,
Bring back this championship trophy.
When "Detective Chinatown" was filming, the editing work was already being promoted simultaneously, and the special effects team and the dubbing team followed suit, so the post-production progress was very fast.
By late October, only songs and some soundtracks were left.
Soundtrack is also an important task in the post-production of a movie, especially for "Detective Chinatown" with a suspenseful color, which needs music to create an atmosphere.
Zhou Yutang also found Zhao Yingjun, a famous music genius in the circle.
His name is Yingjun, but he actually looks ordinary.
It's just that in this world, some people make a living by their looks.
But some people make a living by their talents.
Zhao Yingjun is undoubtedly a talented music producer.
After his debut in the talent show "My Style My Show", a song "Excitement 2005" became popular all over the country.
Later, he also participated in "Night Club" directed by Yang Qing.
"Lost in Thailand" set a box office record for domestic comedy films. The popular song "I Want to Be with You" in it was written by Zhao Yingjun.
It also includes the theme song of "Pancake Man" and the theme song of "Hong Kong囧" "The Breeze Comes" sung by the Queen Princess herself, all of which were written by this unattractive afro.
"It's quite interesting to see myself appear in Mr. Zhou's movie, hehe."
Zhao Yingjun played the younger brother of Xiao Shenyang in the movie. Some shots were deleted, and it seems that his presence is not high.
But being able to appear in Zhou Yutang's movie, his face was filled with a satisfied smile.
Nanzheng Beizhan is also one of the music creation team behind the movie.
Zhou Yutang personally likes to listen to the inspiring song "My Sky" when exercising.
So this time, Nanzheng Beizhan was also invited to participate in the behind-the-scenes team cooperation,
"Sawadee Ka~~Detective Wonder Made in China~~
Sabaidee Ka~~A sure-fire way to make your balls hurt~~
Everyone loves~Who says handsome guys can't have gold teeth~~
When flowers bloom, the detective can also stutter~~"
This ending song of the movie sounds a bit magical, but the rhythm is very memorable, making people feel a little intoxicated, which is in line with the mood of the movie.
"Could it be that the record of the magic thieves has been refreshed again?"
Ning Hao, who basically participated in the post-production work throughout the whole process, knew the quality of the movie and muttered, "Can it be released during the Lunar New Year?"
The main halo of this movie is concentrated on Tang Ren and Qin Feng.
But the supporting roles are also very present.
For example, Chen Chichi, Xiao Yang, and even Xiao Shenyang also showed his comedy skills just right.
"If nothing unexpected happens."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "No problem. ”
After the film is finished, he will go to China Film to find La Peikang to confirm the release date in a few days.
There are still about two months before the Lunar New Year holiday.
The company is already working on a publicity plan, including communication with TV stations, popular variety shows and advertising reservations during the prime time.
It is still the S+ level of Jiangdong system's full-channel resources that are pushing it, and it is bound to achieve a second consecutive victory in the Magic Thief Universe.
After hearing the news from Zhou Yutang, the behind-the-scenes staff involved in the soundtrack were also excited.
Zhou Yutang stood up, raised his hand and pressed it lightly, and smiled: "Everyone has worked hard during this period. Let's celebrate together at the Dynasty Hotel tonight."
"Boss Zhou is awesome!"
"I wish Boss Zhou a big box office success! ”
By late October, the heat of the National Day holiday gradually faded, but the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies did not seem to cool down.
The Marvel superhero blockbuster "Ant-Man" was finally released, with a box office of 75.88 million on the first day, successfully taking over the daily crown from "Now You See Me 2".
At this time, "Now You See Me 2" has been like a hurricane, sweeping the entire Chinese film and television industry.
"After 24 days of release, the total box office of "Now You See Me 2" has climbed to 2.215 billion, breaking the highest record of Chinese domestic films!"
"The magic show amazed North America and performed well at the box office!"
"Topped Asia and laid out the world, the success of Jiangdong Film and Television's grand entertainment strategy."
"The entertainment leader deserves the title. Zhou Yutang's crime universe series "Detective Chinatown" is worth looking forward to!"
"The glory of the Chinese film industry has arrived! ”
Witnessing that Now You See Me 2 created a new record for the Chinese movie box office, the audience was talking loudly:
"The Grand Commander never speaks without purpose, it really broke the record."
"Guo Fan has really reached the sky in one step."
"It seems that the box office momentum in South Korea is also very strong."
"Oh my god, this series of movies is too lucrative."
Some industry insiders were particularly excited and stood up to give advice:
"Congratulations to Zhou Yutang, who has created a miracle of domestic commercial blockbusters.
"The Thieves" made 1.128 billion, "Now You See Me 1" made 1.692 billion, and "The Thieves 2" will have to make at least 2.3 billion according to the current trend.
This is just the box office of mainland movies, which has already reached more than 5 billion. The entire series of movies has continuously broken the box office record of domestic movies. This indicates that the depth of the ticket warehouse of our Chinese film market has made great progress compared with last year. It is expected that the box office ceiling will exceed 3 billion this year."
Starting from the beginning of the year.
China has added 8,000 screens this year!
The total number of screens has reached 31,562!
The entire market capacity is completely different from last year.
Seeing that Jiangdong Entertainment is making a lot of money in the Chinese film market.
Who wouldn't be jealous?
Who wouldn't be envious?
Who wouldn't be moved?
For a while, all the major companies in the film and television industry began to have A big move.
The first is Zhang Yimou, a famous director of Jiangdong School. The spokesperson of the studio officially announced: "Director Zhang will soon leave for Thailand. The new play "The Great Buddha" will be filmed in Bangkok. The cast includes Fan Wei, Ge You, Luo Jialiang, Hou Tianlai, Gao Ye, and Jiang Qiming."
As we all know, this movie is based on the script of the gold award for screenwriters.
It is said that it has been praised by Zhou Yutang and Lao Mouzi, and it is also one of the realistic themes that the film and television industry pays more attention to.
Feng Xiaogang, the trump card of Huayi Company and one of the three old directors in China, also publicly stated on a variety show:
"At the end of the year, I will start the filming plan of "I Am Not Madame Bovary"! ”
As soon as the news came out, the circle was once again in an uproar.
This is adapted from Liu Zhenyun's novel, and it is his first novel after winning the Mao Dun Literature Prize.
It satirizes reality, officialdom, and human nature, and has profound connotations.
Obviously, Feng Xiaogang, who said that he didn't care about the award, was very honest in his actions.
After all, the three major domestic directors, including the super-first-line director Zhou Yutang of the younger generation, all have prominent awards and honors in their hands.
But he only has the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao awards, with a Golden Broom Award attached, which is somewhat lacking in persuasiveness.
This is a movie with women as the protagonists, and it has also attracted the attention of many big names in the circle.
The hot film market has attracted a crazy influx of capital hot money.
The entire entertainment industry is full of vitality and everything is competing.
Da Mimi has also ushered in her own spring.
"Mimi, Ms. Zeng, Ms. Zhao, we will be a family from now on. ”
Tang Lijun smiled and shook hands with Yang Mi, Zeng Jia, and Zhao Ruoyao one after another: "After confirming the contract, the first payment will be received within three days."
"Mr. Tang, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Yang Mi had a calm smile on her face, unable to suppress her excitement at all.
The same is true for Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao.
Soon, SMG Shangshi Pictures and Mihang Media jointly announced: "Shangshi Pictures will invest 380 million yuan to subscribe for 20% of the equity of Mihang Media. At the same time, the two parties signed a gambling agreement."
"In three years, we will achieve a net profit of 300 million yuan after tax, but the company's core management personnel and core artists will not be allowed to leave?"
Just after the company meeting ended, Zhou Yutang took the time to reply to Damimi's message: "Congratulations, Sister Mi, you finally got what you wanted."
"What are you doing?"
"Get ready for bed."
In fact, Zhou Yutang was on his way to Nazha's house.
The project "The Meg" will be officially announced at the end of the month. At that time, Nazha will go abroad for a period of closed training. He will have to seize the time to tutor his good sister in foreign languages.
No matter how hard it is, education cannot be done hard.
"What a liar! Go to bed at seven o'clock?! I guess you're going to fool around with some vixen again!"
Damimi was also a vixen, so she immediately used her trump card.
Beep beep beep!
The phone screen vibrated. Zhou Yutang unlocked it and his eyes lit up.
Rich and generous Sister Mi started to drive again.
This is not as simple as showing off.
The scale is so large that it can cause nosebleeds, but this is Zhou Yutang’s exclusive benefit.
"Sister Mi, suddenly I'm not sleepy again."
Zhou Yutang preserved this charming photo for critical purposes.
This dog man is a real dog!
Damimi curled her lips and shook her voice: "Did Chen Yuqi from Tang Yan's family take the role in your drama?"
Zhou Yutang said directly: "After being eliminated, Chen Yuqi's overall quality is far worse than Chen Yao."
"Good taste."
Damimi tried to seduce Zhou Yutang through her delicate voice: "Then why don't you use Yaomei?"
"How tall is Chen Yao?"
"Well, I'm about 168. It's a good match for you." Damimi's voice sounded a little guilty.
"It's okay to lie to me, but don't lie to yourself."
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "She has a good temperament, but she is a bit tall and does not fit the role setting."
Even though Chen Yao had a baby face and straight bangs in "Wuxin Master", he looked like a cute and childish little loli.
In fact, she is tall and has long legs. Jiangdong's database clearly remembers that she is about the same height as Tang Yan, at least 173.
Female stars in the entertainment industry who are over 1.7 meters will be delayed in accepting roles, so they will do everything possible to change their height.
Male celebrities are just the opposite. They are not tall enough, and when attending events, they use various black technology height-increasing insoles to make up for it.
Jiangdong did a good job of keeping secrets, and there were a lot of speculations from the outside world. Yang Mi was also a little curious: "Then who was used in the end?"
"That IU? Kim Ji-won? Zhou Dongyu? Or Zhang Tianai from your company?"
"Does it look good?"
After sending more than a dozen messages in a row, Zhou Yutang felt a little dizzy, so he casually sent her a photo, "She's a newcomer. She's generally pretty. Teacher Yu thinks she has a good temperament."
"Is this called ordinary beauty?"
Yang Mi really wanted to suffocate him to death with her big honey.
However, Tang Yan's person was not selected, which is acceptable.
Then, I asked Zhou Yutang about her gambling contract.
This type of cooperation is relatively common in the industry. For example, Huayi acquired Zhang Guoli's Changsheng Film and Television for 252 million the year before last.
The two parties signed a five-year gambling contract, but Lao Zhang's annual profit pressure is at most tens of millions.
Just like this, Zhang Guoli was put under a lot of pressure. At a very old age, he frequently took on roles in dramas, variety shows, and various endorsements.
Damimi's gambling contract is quite harsh.
However, taking into account this year's dividends from "Jianbing Man" and the money earned by Damimi, there is no pressure for Mihang to achieve profits exceeding 100 million this year.
Entering the era of capital, stars' salaries are soaring like a rocket.
A desperate thirteenth mother like Yang Mi can conquer the whole company by herself.
I don’t know if there is a connection between the two fairies. Zhou Yutang was chatting with Damimi, and the news about Tang Yan also came over.
Tangtang's starting position was more direct, her slender legs were bent and brought together, reflecting the milky white light under the light.
When they first arrived downstairs at Nazha's house, Zhou Yutang was about to reply to a message saying that he was going to take a shower, but when he saw the photo of his legs, he was very embarrassed to chat with her in the car.
Tang Yan asked Yang Mi if Chen Yao had chosen the heroine. The two fairy sword sisters were still sending smoke bombs to each other in private.
Zhou Yutang was quite amused and called him to give a brief explanation.
"Chen Yao wasn't chosen, that's fine."
Tang Yan could be heard sighing in relief through the phone.
Although Chen Yuqi was a little disappointed that Zhou Yutang didn't like her, luckily, Chen Yao from Yang Mi's family wasn't chosen either.
"How's the filming of Journey to the West going?"
"Oh, it's hard to put it into words."
Tangtang sighed and complained about the bad things that happened to the crew.
Zhou Yutang laughed.
Liu Zhenwei never thought about making a good movie.
He just wants to be a fan of the Journey to the West series under the banner of sentiment.
Just like this, a crew that works well but does not work well is like a piece of loose sand. What kind of climate can it achieve?
Tang Yan is not stupid, she has seen the world. Filming for Jiang Dong and filming with Liu Zhenwei's crew are completely different concepts.
"Look around, maybe it's not as bad as you think."
"Thank you, I'm feeling much better."
Tang Yan pursed her lips and smiled.
He's a bit of a scumbag, but he still knows how to comfort people.
"When the movie is released, you will be compared with Zhu Yin, and then the real big beat will be."
Zhou Yutang's heart-warming encouragement made Tang Yan's smile gradually disappear, and Buyi Jiao said: "Will you die if you don't have a weird temper?"
Before the shooting started, I was full of confidence after listening to others' comments and felt that I was invincible.
But now that I have discovered the problem, I have a calm mind and understand that the reality is cruel.
As Zhou Yutang said, Zhu Yin blinked, this is a classic scene that many people recall, and it is not so easy to challenge.
What should I do?
Tang Yan gritted her silver teeth. She wished she could use her long legs to pinch the governor to death.
"Hey, the company has a new drama. I originally wanted to say hello to Jiang Xuezhen and see if there is a role suitable for Chen Yuqi. Forget it."
"What kind of show is this?"
"That show at the Mist Theater."
"I want it, I want it, I want it!"
Tang Yan soon became happy: "What about Gao Yuanyuan's drama? I saw on the news that Huang Xiaoming was invited?"
"My Dangerous Wife" is also in preparation. Gao Yuanyuan is undoubtedly the heroine. As for the cheating scumbag husband, Zhou Yutang plans to use Huang Xiaoming.
He plays a domineering CEO every day, and Zhou Yutang is going to let him play an idiot and a scumbag to wash the eyes of the audience.
There is a mistress in the play, a young and beautiful woman with corrupt morals.
She is a somewhat scheming Green Tea, but in front of the heroine's ridiculous IQ skills, she seems to be of low rank.
There are not many scenes, but if the performance is good, it can make the audience shine.
Naza sent a message saying that she was still in yoga class, so Zhou Yutang simply chatted with Tang Yan for a while.
The long-legged little girl from Shanghai is not as popular as Tianxian and Yijie, but she can still be regarded as a well-known figure in the circle.
This year there was a TV series "Lively Colors" produced by Huanrui, which almost broke two in ratings, and it was also a rare hit.
Naturally, she needs resources.
Not long ago, I received a film contract, the Chinese-Korean co-production "So, I Married a Black Fan" with Chadan member Park Chanyeol.
The story is quite interesting, as it brings the relationship between celebrities and anti-fans to the forefront.
When a celebrity and a negative fan live together, they experience getting along and understanding each other, and all misunderstandings are revealed. The relationship between the two people is improved in the process, and they slowly discover the goodness of each other, and then there is a happy ending that they love to see.
"Sounds interesting."
"There are two options now, one is to bring money into the group, and the other is to just get paid."
Tang Yan was probably envious of Damimi's taste of the sweetness, and also wanted to try investing in film and television projects, so she pestered Zhou Yutang for advice: "Which one do you think I should choose?"
"Just get paid."
Without thinking, Zhou Yutang said directly: "What Park Chanyeol, he has no box office appeal."
Furthermore, the subject matter of this movie is too niche.
It revolves around anti-fans and celebrities.
Apart from being somewhat attractive to star-chasers, it is probably difficult for ordinary people to have a sense of empathy.
The Tea Egg combination, which had dominated Asia in the past two years and was even expected to reach the top, has finally come to an end.
In addition to Wu Yifan, Lu Han, and Huang Zitao, another member Zhang Yixing has also established a personal studio and is preparing to return to China for development.
As a traffic niche, I was offered a job in the movie "Kung Fu Yoga" starring Jackie Chan, and I also had a role in "Mr. Good".
The single-day box office of "Now You See Me 2" finally dropped.
The high exposure brought by the early omni-channel promotion has already been seen by all the viewers who should see it, but they have applied for the extension key.
"Embarrassed in Hong Kong" has a total box office of 1.568 billion, which is completely unstoppable, ranking second on the National Day schedule. At the same time, the film crew also applied for an extension key and announced that the screening will be postponed to November 25.
Maoyan estimated the box office to be in the early 1.6 billion, so Baldy Xu personally went to Jiangdong to discuss the box office share.
When Zhou Yutang released the rights to the "囧" series, apart from a considerable buyout fee, the contract details included a share of the box office.
The final box office has not been released yet, but the data department can deduce a rough estimate.
The finances of both parties were doing the accounting. Baldy Xu felt a little pain in his body and smacked his mouth: "Mr. Zhou, you have made all the money."
"I only made a small profit, and you guys won't lose either." Zhou Yutang smiled.
The off-site profits from the popular "囧囧" series have allowed Xu Guangtou to achieve a class jump.
"In front of Mr. Zhou, it's just a small fight."
Bald Xu's posture was very upright: "I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation next time."
When the movie first came out, he was still a little distracted, but later he was hit on the head by "The Thieves" and his mind gradually became clear.
There is also a gap between capitals.
In front of Zhou Yutang, he remained as submissive as ever and knew how to stay humble.
Instead of Zhou Yutang going to China Film Group, Pei Kang personally came to Jiangdong Entertainment to discuss the schedule of "Detective Chinatown".
at the same time.
Also came with a speechless request.
