Chapter 691 Ma Fengxian, the Defeat of the Governor

Chapter 691 Ma Fengxian, the Defeat of the Governor

"You mean Lao Hu's "The Pretender"?"

"It seems like there are quite a few scenes in it."

Zhou Yutang glanced at the news and had already begun promoting the drama in the past few days.

"However, I think Liao Fan seems to be in a bad mood today."

"It's weird to be in a good mood."

Zhou Yutang rubbed Liu Shishi's delicate thighs: "I heard that Lao Liao was hospitalized."

Entering the Internet age, there are endless news about stars in the entertainment industry having their houses collapsed.

But there seems to be very little material from the older generation of artists.

Some time ago, a certain staff member from Mango TV named Liao Fan's father on Weibo.

It is said that Mr. Liao, the father of Berlin's best actor and the director of the Film and Television Arts Department of the Xiang Provincial Institute of Mass Communication, may have problems with men and women, and his life will be ruined.

Liao Fan comes from an acting family. The elder Liao is Tong Guowei in "Yongzheng Dynasty". He has won the Golden Lion Award for Chinese Drama Actors, the Performance Award from the Ministry of Culture, and enjoys government subsidies from the State Council.

Suddenly, there was a storm on the Internet.

Lao Liao couldn't resist and was admitted to the hospital. Liao Fan was furious and took him to court.

Zhou Yutang and Liao Fan were acquaintances, and they didn't know much about the inside story, so they just watched the excitement.

But there are always media reporters asking Liao Fan about this matter for the sake of traffic.

Liao Fan was so angry today that he probably wanted to transform into Chen Shi from "The Master" and use a set of Eight-Zhan Swords on those reporters who were causing trouble.

Open your eyes.

The early morning light filtered through the cracks in the curtains.

Liu Shishi didn't know when he woke up.

The thin silk quilt only covered the child's granary, and the snow-white lotus-root arms were exposed.

Zhou Yutang thought she was playing King of Glory, but he didn't hear the sound and didn't know what she was having fun with. He hugged that slender body in his arms, causing a burst of tenderness.

He leaned over and rested his chin on her fair and tender shoulder, only to find that she and Damimi were commenting on the sexy bed photos of Wang Ke and Teacher Bai.

These days, celebrities really use Weibo as a circle of friends.

In the photo, both of them are wrapped in thin quilts.

Probably it was the end of married life.

Teacher Bai snuggled next to Wang Ke, with a little blush on his face, a happy and sweet smile, and full of wifely taste.

Zhou Yutang glanced at Liu Shishi in his arms. It seemed that his posture was not much different.

However, the first sister's legs were placed on her legs, tightly close together and intertwined, and they were soft and soft to the touch.

"You even dare to post this kind of photo, it's so outrageous."

"By the way, Shi Shi, have you finished filming with him?"

Damimi suddenly asked a bold question.

"Mimi, you are so naughty!"

"Is there any?"

"I'll give you a big slap on the head."

"Wow, you guys are so uninteresting, aren't you?"

"That can't be said."

Liu Shishi looked at the cheongsam scattered messily on the expensive handmade carpet and blushed a little: "The one who took the video."

"..."

When women become lustful, men really have nothing to do with them.

If the bees knew that the idol they supported was letting himself go so freely, their faith would probably collapse.

However, seeing Damimi still complaining about the bed photos of Wang Ke and Teacher Bai, Zhou Yutang blushed a little for her.

There is a hard drive in the safe in his office.

In a folder that has been encrypted several times to note actor information, there are still a bunch of large-scale private photos of Da Mimi.

If you release just one of them, there will probably be a big earthquake in the entertainment industry.

Does this count as a hundred steps to a fifty-step smile?

"Yu Tang, the first day's box office is out!"

Xu Haofeng, who had not slept all night, called Zhou Yutang excitedly with dark circles under his eyes.

"Oh, how much?"

Zhou Yutang came out of the gym with his bare upper body showing clear muscles.

Put your phone aside and drink water.

The side mirror perfectly reflected the exploding mermaid line.

In the past two days, apart from the "Lonely and Brilliant God" crew study meeting, I also went to Jingdong for a meeting, so I was very busy.

But no matter how busy I am, I can never forget an hour of exercise every morning.

After all, whether cultivating immortals or reciting poems, it takes a lot of energy, and it can't be done without good health.

"22.75 million!"

Xu Haofeng's hearty laughter almost made Zhou Yutang spit out water: "So low?"

"ah?"

Xu Haofeng on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed helplessly.

This box office figure seems to be really not enough for Zhou Yutang.

No matter in the past, in the past two years, the first-day box office did not exceed 100 million. For Zhou Yutang, it is considered a failure.

This is the industry's strict standard for him, otherwise there would not be the exaggerated statement of "a billion-guaranteed governor of the week".

Lao Xu's psychological quality was good and he quickly calmed down. He smiled comfortably and said, "I am very satisfied with this box office."

Not only was he satisfied, he was going crazy with joy.

I have never fought such a rich battle!

Xu Haofeng directed his first film "Trace of the Japanese Pirates". Although it was shortlisted for the Venice Horizon section that year, it had a good reputation.

However, due to the cast and lack of publicity, the film’s total box office was over one million after its release.

Now the box office on the first day is more than 20 million!

This is far beyond Pingfang’s expectations, what kind of bike do you want?

"Have the road show promotions been decided?"

"Well, it's on its way."

Xu Haofeng said sincerely: "Yu Tang, thank you. It's so hard for you to come all the way back to attend the premiere."

Zhou Yutang was still filming in Hong Kong the day before yesterday, and the next day the special forces airdropped into Beijing, which can be said to be a great honor.

Lao Xu is also a veteran in the film and television industry.

As the master who teaches students how to fool investors in the film academy, he naturally knows that Zhou Yutang has made great contributions to this box office.

First of all, Zhou Yutang found funds for the matchmaking, and named Jiangdong traffic star Li Xian to join the group to play a supporting role.

In the midst of his busy schedule, he ran back and forth, attended the movie premiere, and personally promoted the movie, bringing a wave of traffic to the movie.

In addition, Jiangdong Maoyan’s publicity and promotion work is also very powerful.

The scene where Li Xian and Song Tie discussed martial arts in the teahouse was shot very beautifully, and it became a hot search together with Liao Fan and Xiao Song Jia.

After chatting with Xu Haofeng about the arrangements for the roadshow for a while, Zhou Yutang hung up the phone.

His mood couldn't help but become happy.

The revenue of this movie is definitely not comparable to that of a money-making beast like "The Devil's Crew 2".

But what he values ​​is not the box office revenue brought by the movie, but the indescribable sense of accomplishment in spirit.

Let the gradually declining martial arts movies bloom in the Chinese film market.

Enrich the Chinese film market and provide more viewing options for Chinese audiences.

This is also a trivial contribution he can make.

"Zhou Yutang is strongly recommending this movie. Go to Bilibili and watch videos. Many uploaders are making recommendation videos."

"I clicked on the advertisement on Toutiao to enter Maoyan. The quality of this movie is only 19.9 yuan, which is worth it."

"My best movie of the year. I like the style of director Xu Haofeng too much. The action design is great."

"I only remember the charming Song Jia and the girl in cheongsam in the teahouse. They are all amazing!"

"He came without a name and left without a name. Only the legend of his apprentice Geng Liangchen defeating the eight martial arts schools in Tianjin was left. Li Xian's acting is pretty good."

"The martial arts scenes are neat, but the literary scenes are a little bit off. It's a realistic kung fu with a different flavor."

"In one word, awesome."

Zhou Yutang browsed the comments of netizens in the office.

Most of them are good reviews.

Of course, everyone has their own preferences.

There must be viewers who can't accept it.

Xu Haofeng's movies have a strong personal style. This movie can't be said to be perfect. The lines and emotions are a bit dull.

"Boss, Xu Ke is here."

"Bring him in."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

Xu Haofeng is obsessed with realistic martial arts themes, and many of the older generation in the Hong Kong circle also have a special feeling for this martial arts theme movie.

Such as Xu Ke, such as Yuan Baye.

Both of them have worked with Zhou Yutang and maintained a good relationship.

Yuan Baye rarely communicates privately, but the genius Xu Ke runs to Jiangdong from time to time.

Compared to other big directors in the Hong Kong circle, he is more keen on figuring out the latest special effects technology.

Vision Media is now a top international special effects company, and has participated in many top film and television projects at home and abroad in recent years.

This time, it has carried out in-depth cooperation with Scanline VFX and Sony Picture to handle the special effects work of the "Megalodon" project, which has caused a sensation in the industry.

"Remake of "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia"?"

When Zhou Yutang heard this news from Xu Ke, he was a little surprised.

The 1982 film "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia" directed by Yuan Heping pioneered the combination of traditional martial arts and fantasy elements, which can be said to be a sensation.

"It was directed by Mr. Ba, I was the supervisor, and Nan Sheng was the producer."

Xu Ke smiled and said, "Lu Yang's "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" is very good, and it is very likely to achieve a box office of 1 billion."

"Difficult."

Zhou Yutang smiled and shook his head.

The post-production of Lu Yang's "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" has been completed. Xu Ke happened to come over today, so they watched the finished film together. Xu praised it highly.

"With you here, it is a 10 billion guarantee."

Xu Ke said with emotion: "Now there are fewer and fewer martial arts movies that can sell well. I watched "The Master" yesterday and was very surprised. I hope to develop this market."

Times are changing.

The tastes of the audience are also changing.

Xu Ke has a deep understanding of this.

In the golden age of Hong Kong movies in the last century, martial arts movies were once glorious.

But now it is gradually declining. Whether it is his "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers" or Chen Jiashang's "Four Famous Detectives" series, it can only be said that they are not losing money.

In recent years, the most profitable martial arts movies are still the "Sword Rain" and "Embroidered Spring Blade" series made by Zhou Yutang.

This time it is controlled by LeTV. It is estimated that Boss Jia made a PPT. In addition to Tencent, a large number of companies from various industries followed the investment, supporting a capital plate of 250 million.

Xu Ke is also a busy man. After staying for half a day, he went to Boss Jia's dinner.

Lu Yang was also present today. He had dinner in the company cafeteria in the evening and chatted casually.

"Boss, you don't seem to be optimistic about Director Xu's project?"

"This kind of IP is too difficult to do."

Zhou Yutang said slowly: "Director Xu also thought about restarting Shushan."

"Ah?"

Lu Yang was a little confused: "Huanzhu Louzhu's Shushan?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yutang put down his chopsticks.

Xu Ke's ideas have always been ahead of the times. As early as the 1980s, he had made a fairy-tale movie.

That movie, "New Shushan Swordsman" starring Zheng Shaoqiu, Lin Qingxia and Hong Pangzi, also brought together the most popular stars in Hong Kong at the time, used a lot of special effects shots, and also invited the Hollywood "Star Wars" stunt team.

As a result, the investment was more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, but the local box office in Hong Kong only earned 15.87 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Taipei was 6.5 million Taiwan dollars. The poor performance overseas ended up losing money.

Xu Laoguai has not given up.

At the beginning of the century, he formed another Shushan Bureau.

This time, the investment was nearly 100 million, and the scene was bigger.

Fatty Hong, Zheng Yinjian, Zhang Baizhi, Lin Xilei, Louis Koo and other popular Hong Kong stars, plus Zhang Ziyi and Wu Jing.

The purpose is to take the box office in both places.

More than 1,600 special effects shots, which was simply incredible in that era.

But fighting alone is obviously not enough. Xu Laoguai's version of the script is not done well, the plot is chaotic and fragmented, and the character creation is also problematic.

The result is still a complete failure.

The box office in the mainland is only 20 million, plus the box office in Hong Kong is 11.76 million Hong Kong dollars. The box office results are far from the investment cost, and the investors are losing blood.

It seems to be a reincarnation of more than ten years.

Xu Ke plans to bring Zhou Yutang along this time.

He dared to bring it up, and Zhou Yutang really dared to arrange a team to do market research.

This is also the normal process for Jiangdong Entertainment to do big projects.

It is not a matter of just starting work on a whim, and then killing people indiscriminately.

Whenever a big-budget film and television project is established, the first thing to consider is how to recover the cost.

Multiple research data directly lead to a result.

Investing in such a movie with little heat bonus is not a wise choice from a capital perspective.

Now the new generation of mainland audiences have no sentimental bonus for Shushan.

Basically, they are a generation that grew up watching online novels such as "Fighting Break Sphere", "Snow", "Celebrating Yu Nian", and "The Great Ruler".

Shushan can probably only stay in the beautiful memories of the audience of the previous era.

Over there, "Master" has a great reputation, and Douban opened a score of 8.7.

Since its release, Jia Kechang's "Mountains May Depart" has barely broken through 30 million box office, and the daily box office is only a few hundred thousand. It will be completely closed soon.

However,

Probably not many people are paying attention to the deserted film market at the moment.

All eyes of the whole country are focused on the upcoming Double 11.

In the past, Alibaba's main battlefield for Double 11 was in Hangzhou.

Whenever the time came to 0:00 on November 11, the big screen in the auditorium of Hangzhou Xixi Park began to scroll numbers continuously.

These numbers are all calculated in units of 100 million.

It was spectacular.

This year, Mr. Ma was particularly high-profile.

In October, he had already started to build momentum, and even moved Tmall's Double 11 Gala to the Beijing Water Cube Studio.

Feng Xiaogang, one of the three major directors, was invited to be the chief director.

Ning Zetao, the popular World Championships men's 100m freestyle champion, was the first to join.

In addition, domestic and foreign stars such as the female stock god, Jolin Tsai, Jane Zhang, Eason Chan, Rain, etc., have successively announced on social media that they will participate in Tmall's Double 11 Gala.

Ai Dajin, Feng Xiaogang, the female stock god, and Ma Dong announced that they would perform an advertising talk show.

Internet evening parties are all about spending money.

The star lineup invited by Alibaba is comparable to the Spring Festival Gala.

However, as a competitor of Tmall, Dong Ge, who has just contributed to the national population, is no longer low-key and is ready to give it a try.

Alibaba is going to hold a Double Eleven evening party at the Water Cube.

Then Jingdong will also have a Jingdong Double Eleven Surprise Night.

Jingdong is not the only one participating in the group, including Mingjie Company, the entertainment leader that has produced popular variety shows such as "The Voice of China", "Running Brothers", "Extreme Challenge", "Where Are We Going, Dad", and "Masked Singer".

On the evening of the 10th, Jingdong's Surprise Night was broadcast on CCTV-3 and broadcast simultaneously with video websites such as Tencent Video and Bilibili.

The bystanders who were watching the fun were not afraid of the big deal, and they followed suit.

"Fight, fight!"

"This is Jiangdong, Jingdong, and Tencent joining forces to fight against Alibaba. There will be a good show to watch!"

"I have long been fed up with Teacher Ma, support Brother Dong to fight him!"

"Twenty years of Jiangdong Navy, real name support for Brother Dong."

"Brother Dong, Jiangdong won the championship, so there was a wave of discounts, and the things are much cheaper than usual."

"Fuck, missed it."

"Don't worry upstairs, there will be a big discount on Double Eleven, just in time to replace my mother's phone."

"."

There are not so many routines for activities at this time.

That is really bleeding, giving benefits to consumers.

You have Huabei, I have Baitiao.

Brother Dong is completely fighting with Teacher Ma.

At the Jingdong annual meeting this year, he very unceremoniously named Alibaba, saying that it does not pay taxes and sells parallel imports.

In addition to reading the script these two days, Zhou Yutang also went to Jingdong headquarters to hold several mobilization meetings.

Brother Dong, who has achieved success in both love and career, is full of energy and is ready to lead his brothers who are willing to fight and work hard.

Apart from Jingdong and Ali, Suning is also making efforts.

The heroes are competing for supremacy, and the capital is fighting secretly.

The smoke of gunpowder is spreading silently.

Ordinary people are paying attention to how much cheaper the things they want to buy are, but in the capital circle, the saying of "Jiangjingteng alliance" is popular.

That is, Jiangdong + Jingdong + Tencent join forces to besiege Tmall together.

It is quite like the three heroes fighting Lu Bu at Hulao Pass.

There are channels controlled by Jiangdong and the best traffic support given by Tencent to its partners.

The two giants set up the stage for Jingdong to perform this good show.

Prime-time advertisements on major TV stations, pop-ups on the homepage of Tencent News Client, and headlines under Jiangdong are all Jingdong activities.

The night of the 10th.

Zhou Yutang was rarely free and did not need to reply to messages.

Because all the beauties around him are shopping, including Nazha from abroad.

After the clock passed 0:1 minute and 12 seconds, Tmall’s “Double Eleven” transaction volume exceeded 1 billion yuan.

Although Jingdong has the resource support of WeChat and Mobile QQ, its size is still much lower than that of Tmall.

Tmall’s huge advantage on Double Eleven, whether it is Jingdong or other platforms, will not be able to overcome this mountain in the short term.

Ma Fengxian is more brave.

At this moment, Teacher Ma has the right time, location, and people.

He is truly arrogant and looks down upon the world.

On Double Eleven, Tmall’s transaction volume reached 91.2 billion, a 60% increase compared to 57.1 billion in the whole day last year!

The industry calls this fierce battle for capital the defeat of Governor Zhou in the capital market.

Some people also pointed out that the sworn friendship between the Taoyuan Three in the "Jiang Jingteng Alliance" is nothing more than a plastic brotherhood.

It was originally agreed that everyone would join hands to pull down Teacher Ma.

As a result, Tencent made a decisive decision when it saw that nothing could be done.

Ads for Tmall and Suning’s Double Eleven will soon be seen everywhere on its other news, sports and other channels.

Obviously.

Suning and Tmall spent a lot of money on advertising on Tencent, and they spent so much money that Tencent switched sides.

Zhou Yutang didn't feel depressed at all.

Every industry has its top.

Mr. Ma has expanded online shopping and monetary funds, and even extended his tentacles into the South Korean payment system.

Undoubtedly the first in the industry.

Jingdong started late and has a different development model. It was originally in a challenger position.

This wave of operations is like a second-tier star in the entertainment industry attracting the hype of a first-tier star and raising his status.

If you can overturn the table, you will reach the sky in one step.

Even if it doesn't succeed, it won't have much impact.

Just take it step by step and take it steadily.

Brother Dong made such a big noise because he wanted to implant a concept in consumers that Jingdong could compete with Alibaba.

Although the overall sales volume is not as good as Tmall, Jingdong is not losing money either.

Riding on the wave of enthusiasm to challenge Tmall, Jingdong Mall’s 10-hour order volume exceeded 10 million, a year-on-year increase of 180%!

With reliable after-sales service and considerate service, it occupies an absolute dominant position in 3C products.

Domestic mobile phones including Huawei and Xiaomi are all strategic partners of Jingdong.

Even Xiaomi’s CEO Lei came to the scene that night to supervise the battle.

"The box office of "The Master" in the first weekend was 94.58 million, and it is about to break 100 million. It is a classic martial arts film of the Republic of China, and its reputation is exploding!"

The industry finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This box office data is impressive in the deserted Chinese film market in November, but it is not a take-off.

For a truly strong film, it would only be easy to break 100 million in a single day.

It can only be said that the quality of the film is worthy of the A-level promotional resources of the Koto series.

Many people are even gloating about the misfortune.

The governor, who was a powerful figure in the entertainment industry, fell down in the capital circle this time.

…

"nice shot!"

"What a beautiful arc."

"Whoosh!"

Governor Zhou, who was ridiculed by the industry for not having fucked Ma Fengxian together as brothers, is now dominating the field.

Dribbling the ball to make soup, it was as if he was in no one's land, easily swaying away the opponent's defenders.

Lift your foot and volley, sending the football into the dead center of the goal.

The cheerleading girls off the court were particularly hardworking.

After he finished happily, he took the towel handed over by Ni Ni, wiped his sweat, and took a sip of sports drink.

This time, the effect was immediate.

The opponent seemed to be a tiger waking up, scoring three goals in a row to take the lead.

Zhang Ruojun on the Star team was easily knocked away by the opponent's forward. He was miserable and took the initiative to sit on the ground holding his ankles with a painful expression on his face.

But when he hobbled to the sidelines, a medical miracle happened, and he suddenly returned to normal again, complaining:

"Brother Tang, why are you getting off so early? I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Leave the stage to you."

Zhou Yutang smiled and took a sip of sports drink.

Lu Han, who followed his boss, quickly drank water and pressed down the raised corners of his mouth.

Football is not about fighting and killing.

Football is about human nature.

In the game just now with the sports university team, both sides were very good at acting.

This is what playing football with your idol Zhou Dudu is like.

When he got off the field, the athletes showed their true colors and fucked fiercely without any mercy.

"Xiaolu, is your drama finished?"

The victim, Zhang Ruojun, was a little depressed. Lu Han nodded and said with a smile: "It's over. I just received a notice from the Spring Festival Gala that we have to rehearse for several rounds. Brother Ruojun, I rely on you to protect me."

Lu Han, who just finished filming "I Am a Witness", was successfully selected for this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Whether one can attend the Spring Festival Gala is also an important indicator of a star's popularity.

Almost all artists from the Jiangdong family have attended the Spring Festival Gala. Now as Lu Han is one of the top stars of the new generation, there is no controversy about his selection.

"Your boss is so proud, why do you still use me to cover him?"

Zhang Ruojun finished all the tons of water and a bottle of water, and said nonchalantly: "It's not a big problem, just go on stage and sing a song."

He brought Tang Yixin to the Spring Festival Gala again this year and gave Lu Han some precautions.

While chatting, Zhang Ruojun suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "By the way, Brother Tang, I have something important to tell you."
