Chapter 704: New Year's Eve, Ascension is imminent

Chapter 704: New Year's Eve, Ascension is imminent

The industry has exploded.

Zhou Yutang has proved to countless audiences with his nearly perfect performance what the box office appeal of the leading domestic entertainment company is.

"Detective Chinatown" has inherited the popularity of the "The Devil's Crew" series, and the discussion is still rising.

Now, the pressure is on Lu Chuan.

Seeing the increasing popularity of "Detective Chinatown", Lu Chuan's heart sank directly to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

However, he did not speak, and the old man of the Lu family could not help it.

Lu Tianming, who has many connections in the literary and artistic circles, finally couldn't help but take the lead in his son and personally fired the blast.

"Some people do this in advance, which is completely inconsistent with the film and television industry's fixed-date contract. It is very irresponsible. It not only disrupts the market order, but also suppresses the release of other films' box office potential.

The relevant departments should introduce policies as soon as possible to regulate and restrict such large-scale advance screenings. This is not fair to other released movies."

"Is this old guy suffering from Alzheimer's disease?"

Lu Tianming had a passionate confrontation with Han Han before. At that time, he led a group of small groups of literati such as Ai Dajin to besiege Han Han, who was just starting out but showing his talent.

But Zhou Yutang is not Han Han.

His current influence and reputation are second to none in the domestic entertainment industry.

It is simply not something that these old men in the traditional literary circle can imagine.

However, Zhou Yutang was too lazy to pay attention to this old man.

He didn't even have to do anything.

Lu Han's fans directly beat Lu Laodeng to pieces.

Since Lu Han returned to China, his popularity has exploded, and his film and television resources have always been good, but he still focuses on honing his acting skills.

His fans have seen his efforts.

Now he is finally led by the Grand Commander, what kind of monster are you, old man, jumping out to make trouble at this time?

Lu Han's fans don't agree.

With his powerful fighting power, he gave Lu Tianming, who was about to confront Zhou Yutang, a little shock.

Even Ai Dajin, who spoke for Lu Chuan, was also severely affected.

I don't know where those fans found the black material from.

Including Lu Tianming, Ai Dajin, etc., Weibo was slaughtered one after another, and it is estimated that even blood pressure has risen.

In fact, Zhou Yutang was not the first to do a preview in the entertainment industry.

As early as 2002, Lao Mouzi was ahead of everyone. "Hero", which was a sensation in the country at that time, was previewed in Shenzhen for 7 days before its release in order to obtain Oscar nominations.

Zhou Yutang crossed the river by feeling the stones of his predecessors and summed up a new way of playing that is suitable for the current version.

"Those Years" had a preview, but at that time, Governor Zhou was also a newcomer, far from the appeal he has today, but he also accumulated early word-of-mouth for the film, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent box office explosion.

This time, the large-scale preview directly brought public opinion and attention to the climax.

"This is another classic case of film and television marketing that can be written into textbooks. The reputation and performance of the preview can itself become a promotion point for the film."

"This new marketing model is a great test of Jiangdong's distribution and resource coordination capabilities."

After industry insiders gathered together to analyze.

There are also many film and television companies that are eager to follow suit, but soon gave up helplessly.

Zhou Yutang's approach disrupts the theater's own scheduling plan. Suddenly, they have to negotiate to add previews.

There are many interests involved. Only Zhou Yutang, who has a close relationship with theaters and cinemas, and has mastered the entire upstream and downstream of the film and television channel, can he take over the Chinese film market.

"Boss Zhou, congratulations on the box office success of the movie."

Han Han attended the premiere of "Detective Chinatown" held in Beijing and congratulated him with a smile.

Zhou Yutang shook hands and hugged him in a friendly manner, "Congratulations to you too, "Never Expected" has a good box office."

Han Han is the nominal art director of this online movie produced by Wanhe Tianyi, and his Tingdong Pictures is one of the investors behind the scenes.

Although it was firmly suppressed by Xiaogangpao, this online movie with a cost of at most 40 to 50 million yuan, a group of unknown online celebrities, can achieve a box office of more than 300 million yuan, what else does it need?

Zhou Yutang didn't get along with Guo Xiaosi.

He had a good relationship with Han Han.

The two chatted for a while, and when they talked about his racing movie, people came to him one after another.

People who were familiar with him or not came up to greet him politely and build relationships.

Han Han then looked for an opportunity to find Zhang Ruojun.

They had a great time working together on "No Time to Die" last time. They have been very close recently. Zhou Yutang heard that Zhang Ruojun is the male lead in the next movie that Han Han is preparing.

Meng Ziyi, who followed Zhou Shufang to the scene, only greeted Zhou Yutang from a distance, and then returned to her seat.

Although she had a sweet smile on her face, she felt a little disappointed in her heart - she went to the styling room to dress up carefully for today's premiere.

Not to say that she is as beautiful as a fairy, but at least she deserves the title of Beijing Film Academy's school beauty.

But Zhou Yutang only glanced at her lightly, without stopping, and continued to do his own things.

Just when she was depressed, after listening to Zhou Shufang's explanation, Meng Ziyi couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Many big names came today. Among those who were talking to Zhou Yutang, there were leaders of the Film Bureau and bigwigs of the Long Propaganda Department, all of whom came to the scene in person.

La Peikang was at the premiere of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" on the other side. China Film was also one of the producers of that movie.

Although he didn't come, the former head of China Film Group, Han Sanping, had a rosy face and was talking intimately with his arm around Governor Zhou's shoulder.

In addition to these bigwigs, the premiere was full of stars and celebrities.

Li Dagou of Xiaoma is a good brother of Governor Zhou, Wang Changtian of Guangguang also came, Boss Yang of Yinghuang, and Ren Zhonglun, the general manager of Shanghai Film Group

Poet Chen and his wife brought their child Arthur, Ning Hao and his wife, Xu Guangtou and his wife, Lu Yang, Wen Muye, and Guo Fan, the three generals of Jiangdong, all attended.

In addition, Zhou Xinxia and Wang Hongwei, professors of the Film Academy, directors Xie Fei, Chen Kexing, and Section Chief Jia are also big names.

The star lineup is even more exaggerated. Qingyi Lady Zeng Li is talking to Ni Ni, recreating the classic scene.

Zhang Ruojun and Tang Yixin, Li Binbin sisters, Teacher Fan, International Zhang, Xu Jinglei only brought Li Gengxi to introduce her to producers and directors in the circle.

This kind of occasion also has social attributes.

Mr. Zhou and Liu Yifei were talking and laughing. Among the four Dan and Shuang Bing, only Zhao Yanzi was missing.

There are also Zhao Liying and Zhang Tianai, who are very popular this month, and Jiangdong's own Dilireba, Reyiza, Yang Zi, Li Jian and Chen Xiao.

Huang Xiaoming was filming in the Wan Province crew, but Qin Lan was there for him, and Tangren's number one Hu Ge led Jin Daxi.

Even Jay Chou brought his wife Kunling to the scene to show his support.

Meng Ziyi looked at the wife several times.

I heard that she was a young model. After giving birth to a daughter, her figure recovered well. Recently, she made a comeback and prepared to develop in the film and television industry.

In the past few years, the media hyped up Jay Chou and Zhou Yutang as the double kings of Zhou. Meng Ziyi knew that the two had a good relationship.

Otherwise, Kunling would not have played a supporting role in a drama that Jiangdong arranged.

"There are fifty or sixty media outlets!"

A Fei, a reporter listed as a friendly camp of Jiangdong Entertainment, got an admission permit to enter the venue. Many colleagues squatting outside cast envious eyes at him.

A new colleague beside him said excitedly: "Brother Fei, I counted, there are more than 200 celebrities in the film and television industry, which is no worse than the general award ceremony. The Grand Commander is so damn impressive."

"Calm down, the premiere of the Grand Commander Zhou is basically like this."

The colleague has just joined the company not long ago. This time, A Fei led him on the field trip. He specifically instructed: "Don't just watch, pay attention to finding angles when the time comes, and take pictures of Zhou Yutang and Lu Han, as well as the reactions of Liu Yifei, Zhang Tianai, and Zhao Liying in the guest seats."

"OK, Brother Fei."

The new colleague patted his chest and guaranteed, "I am Teacher Chen from Yantai, and I will complete the task."

"."

A Fei's expression twitched slightly, feeling that this fellow countryman was not very tuned.

But he soon didn't take it to heart and continued to do his own thing.

The main creative team sat on the stage, facing the media reporters, sharing the behind-the-scenes stories of the filming and the original intention of the film.

After releasing some behind-the-scenes information, Zhou Yutang and Lu Han were naturally the targets that the media reporters were eager to interview.

Ah Fei got the opportunity to ask questions by virtue of his familiar face and the position he had taken in advance, "Mr. Zhou, some professionals have raised objections to the large-scale advance screening of the movie. What do you think about this?"

"For commercial considerations, we did this advance screening."

Zhou Yutang was very calm: "I didn't expect the effect to be so good. Thank you for your support. It's normal to have different opinions. If the producer has enough confidence in his movie, you might as well give it a try."

Try it and you will die.

Ah Fei was speechless.

To do large-scale advance screenings, you have to get through the relationship with the theater chain and let it schedule the film!

He thought of a comment with a high number of likes on the Internet. This is like falling in love. Boys always have to get the girl's consent before they can take the next step, otherwise it is sexual harassment.

"Director Ning, you are the producer of the film, what do you think of Lu Han's acting skills?"

"Good job, Xiaolu, you played this role very vividly, and you have a bright future."

The sedan chair was carried by people, and Ning Hao took the microphone and praised him in a very social way, which caused Lu Han's fans to scream.

Including Zhou Yutang, they all recognized his acting skills, as well as the pure and lovely sister Zifeng.

Lu Han was a little flattered and said modestly, "Thank you for Mr. Zhou's support, Director Ning's affirmation, and thank them for giving me such a high evaluation. My acting skills actually still have a lot of room for improvement.

Since returning to China, I have been trying my best to do everything. Under Mr. Zhou's arrangement, I entered Shanxia Academy to receive basic acting training. I also thank Liu Tianchi and other teachers for their efforts.

I am honored to join Mr. Zhou's film and play the role of Qin Feng. As for the specifics, I will leave it to the audience to evaluate."

"In the future, I will continue to work hard and strive to bring you a better self."

The interview ended and the film screening began.

The scene gradually became quiet.

Qin Feng plus Tang Ren

One is silly and funny, the other is smart and calm.

This wonderful detective duo turned the Chinatown of Tyrande upside down.

From beginning to end, the story is linked together, and the audience laughed and laughed.

At the end, Sinuo, played by Zhang Zifeng, suddenly looked up and showed a creepy smile.

There was another exclamation at the scene.

Until the end of the movie, the audience was still discussing, and the emotions were relieved by the ending song.

The applause was thunderous.

Zhou Yutang looked back and clapped softly.

A satisfied arc quietly hung at the corner of his mouth.

This is not a hired agent.

Except for the media with a good relationship with Jiangdong, they were not invited.

Most of them are well-known film critics with good reputations, as well as various industry insiders, and a small number of lucky Jiangdong Navy.

The large-scale advance screenings have proved the quality of this film and passed the test of the market.

After the screening, the media became even more crazy than before: "Mr. Zhou, this is a wonderful movie, but the smile of Zifeng at the end of the movie and the phone call from Gao Yuanyuan, do they mean that there will be a new story?"

"Detective Chinatown is a whole series of stories."

Zhou Yutang revealed some information: "If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a sequel plan, and when to move forward needs to be discussed again."

"Mr. Zhou, what are your expectations for the box office? Do you hope to break the 2.325 billion record created by "The Devil's Crew 2"? "

"Box office is not what I care about most. Records are just numbers and cannot define whether a movie is successful."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "The important thing is whether everyone can feel happy during the viewing process and gain emotional value that they cannot experience at other times."

"Pretend, keep pretending, you are really good at pretending!"

Lu Chuan exited the video slice of the premiere of Detective Chinatown on Station B, cursing.

"Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and "Detective Chinatown" premiered on the same day. The chairman of China Film and LeTV's boss Jia both supported the premiere, including Huanrui's CEO, the great director Gu Changwei and his wife to support their niece.

In addition, some senior veterans in the film and television industry also came to support the premiere.

The lineup was not weak.

After all, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong was in his prime, and some seniors did not buy his account, and even looked at him quite unhappy.

—— Usually everyone has a high status and can get whatever they want.

Even the biggest stars in the film and television industry have to be respectful in front of them.

But as Zhou Yutang's voice in the film and television industry became more and more important, he did not listen to the requests made by some senior veterans.

Sometimes, he even ignored them directly and did not take them seriously.

Therefore, some old guys mobilized their connections. Although the box office and word-of-mouth of "Detective Chinatown" took off in large-scale previews, there was still a small number of media working hard to create the gimmick of a dragon fighting a tiger.

At this time,

Next to Lu Tianming, there was an old man with gray hair and many age spots on his face.

If there were people in the industry here, they would definitely recognize that this old man had a lot of say in many film and television associations in the Celestial Empire.

When Lu Chuan saw the old man, he bowed slightly and was extremely respectful: "Mr. He, thank you for your honor to attend my premiere."

"Old Lu has spoken, and it's time for me to move my old bones."

Mr. He nodded slightly, patted Lu Chuan's shoulder, and smiled: "Xiao Lu, it's up to you next. The Celestial Empire's film market cannot let someone dominate the market. Talents like you need to stand up."

"With Uncle He's support, I have confidence."

Lu Chuan understood and grinned.

At the moment, he was like the calamity in the immortal novel.

As long as he passed this level, he would truly ascend to the immortal class.

This Mr. He has a long history and a deep network of contacts, and he has a big voice in many associations.

As long as he supports it, maybe this movie will have a chance to win one or two mainstream awards.

By then.

He will be a representative of the young generation of directors who can compete with Governor Zhou.
