Chapter 705: A direct fight, setting a record for the best Chinese movies
The movie premiere ended successfully.
As usual, a cocktail party was arranged.
Zhou Yutang chatted with Ren Zhonglun, Han Sanping, and Boss Yang of Yinghuang.
He was very interested in talking, so he left the socializing to Li Shuang and went to the private club for the second party.
It might be that they would talk until very late.
There was no way, there were so many beauties, even if they could enjoy the romance.
Sometimes troubles were inevitable.
The circle was so small, and they would always meet in public.
Yijie was transferred to Hong Kong for brand activities, and Da Meiyuan took leave from the crew to attend the premiere. Teacher Fan, Reba, and Liu Tianxian were all there.
Women who could be around Zhou Yutang were very sensible and would not disturb men from doing their careers.
In fact.
This was not entirely an excuse.
That night, there was really something to talk about.
Zhou Yutang really talked to Boss Yang about "Operation Mekong" and two future projects with Yinghuang.
Boss Yang flew from Hong Kong and paid great attention to this. Ren Zhonglun also showed a certain degree of interest.
"Boss Ren, you are too anxious."
"There is no way. Your project is in great demand. I have to book it in advance."
Ren Zhonglun smiled and said, "Suzhou and Shanghai are one family. Shanghai Film is now in a critical period of listing. You have to help."
"Wang Jing's script has been made." Boss Yang interrupted.
"So fast?" Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows.
"He also has a share."
Boss Yang also laughed: "Of course he is active."
"Let's talk about it after this busy period."
Zhou Yutang thought about it and did not refuse.
After the company's internal evaluation, the priority of these two projects is not high.
By then, the estimated cost will not be low, so it is okay to let Shanghai Film enter.
"Oh my god, this little girl's smile is so scary, I have goose bumps!"
"This little girl looks so familiar, it seems that she is Zhang Zifeng who filmed a movie with the Grand Commander a long time ago?"
"Yes, yes, it's the little girl in "The Man from Lonely Man."
"Haha, Wang Baoqi is so funny."
"It's a bit unexpected that Lu Han's acting is actually pretty good."
"Is Gao Yuanyuan a member of the Q organization?"
After the premiere in Beijing, they flew directly to Shanghai to hold the premiere of the movie. The enthusiasm of the Shanghai guys is no less than that of Beijing guys.
After the road promotion ended that day, there was another dinner party with the local snake Ren Zhonglun Group in the evening.
Shanghai Film's executives, Wu Heru of the New United Cinema Line, Lian Tianming, and several bigwigs in the Shanghai circle, such as SMG CEO Wang Jianjun and Ningmeng Film and Television, were all present.
What surprised Zhou Yutang was that Mr. Guo, the leading enterprise in Shanghai, Fosun Group, was also there.
Governor Zhou has his own information channels. He heard that this Mr. Guo is very ambitious and has been looking for a Premier League club. He is also making low-key plans to enter the entertainment industry.
"I'll raise another glass to wish Mr. Zhou a big box office success."
During the banquet, the atmosphere was very good. Ren Zhonglun took the initiative to stand up and raised his glass, his face flushed.
"Break the record again."
"Cheers!"
"Ding!"
Several glasses touched again, making a crisp sound.
The wine in the glass gently rippled.
"Mr. Ren is really something. He kept urging people to drink and drank so much."
Back at the hotel, Da Meiyuan was very conscious of being a good wife at home. She leaned over to help Zhou Yutang change his leather shoes.
Her hair was scattered on her snow-white shoulders and neck, but her tone was slightly resentful.
"Maybe he's happy."
"Your movie is coming out, what is he happy about?"
"We just discussed two projects last night, one of which is in the Shanghai Film Festival."
Zhou Yutang casually sat on the soft sofa recliner, Da Meiyuan leaned on his arms, and stood up to pour him a glass of water.
Holding the beauty in his arms, smelling her fragrance, he felt inexplicably comfortable: "Ren Zhonglun is very capable."
"What did he do again?"
"Ren Zhonglun has joined forces with several other companies and is competing with China Film."
Zhou Yutang smiled softly and explained to Da Meiyuan.
The last time I saw Ren Zhonglun, I heard him say that he wanted to rectify the Shanghai Film Festival.
But the interests of all parties are deeply rooted, and the resistance is quite large, which is by no means an easy task.
But Ren Zhonglun has been deeply involved in the film industry for decades and has his own connections.
He has been planning this for a long time, and brought up this matter at an internal meeting not long ago, catching La Peikang off guard.
Da Meiyuan looked enlightened. In fact, she didn't quite understand what was said, but she felt that Zhou Yutang, who was explaining the power struggle among high-level officials in Vanity Fair, was particularly attractive.
She couldn't help but lean over softly, smelling the alcohol and the masculine breath of the man, and kissed Zhou Yutang gently on the cheek with her thin lips.
The slightly rapid and heavy breathing, warm and fragrant, all breathed on Zhou Yutang's cheek.
Zhou Yutang also raised his hand almost instinctively, and immediately took the initiative, holding her slender waist, and bringing that sweet and dreamy body into his arms.
Then, it was a reckless attack on the city
"On the first day of the release of "Detective Chinatown", the box office closed at 285 million, breaking the single-day box office record of Chinese movies!"
"The first day of the box office of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" closed at 123 million, ranking second in the Lunar New Year, and the reputation was not as expected!"
"On the first day of the box office of "A Thought in Heaven", the production was rough and the jokes were insufficient. Shen Teng and Ma Li could not continue the glory of "Charlotte"!"
The long-awaited Lunar New Year battle began, and the combination of Shen Teng and Ma Li was the first to be eliminated.
After the online movie "Never Expected" exceeded 300 million, it has been stagnant and can be ignored.
This also includes Deng Chao's "Bad Angels", although the box office revenue exceeded 500 million in the first week, the reputation was affected by bad reviews, and the single-day box office revenue has dropped sharply to 15 million.
As for Xiao Gangpao's "Old Cannon", the box office revenue exceeded 600 million, and the growth rate has gradually slowed down.
On the first day of the New Year's Day holiday, the stock market rose slightly before the holiday, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies also increased greatly, and they went to the cinema to consume.
On that day, "Detective Chinatown" collected 308 million, once again breaking the single-day box office record of Chinese movies!
For Lu Chuan's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", LeTV also carried out overwhelming marketing, and the box office revenue on that day closed at 125 million.
The two movies accounted for more than 75% of the market's screenings.
"Xiao Zhou, the smoky makeup that Xunjie wore on the day of the Feitian Awards was too exaggerated."
"She is not suitable for this kind of makeup."
Zhou Yutang chatted with Liu Tianxian.
The 30th Feitian Awards for TV Dramas just ended, and Kong Sheng won the Outstanding Director Award.
Li Jie's best friend Mei Ting defeated Zhou Gongzi for Best Actress with "Parents' Love", and Chen Baoguo won the Feitian Best Actor Award.
"On the first day of the New Year's Day holiday, "Detective Chinatown" was full, with a high attendance rate, far exceeding "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". Governor Zhou's new film is expected to create a new box office record for Chinese movies."
Listening to Liu Yifei's crisp reading of the report that had just been released, Zhou Yutang smiled gently: "Are you and Aunt Liu going to Spain next?"
"Yes, it's rare for mom to come out for a trip, Xiao Zhou, keep up the roadshow!"
"."
This New Year's Day, Miss Liu gave herself a holiday and took Aunt Liu and her assistant to travel in Europe. After shopping in Paris, they went to Liverpool to watch the game.
Zhou Yutang called Eduardo, the club director, and sent someone to pick her up. Aunt Liu liked this style.
Someone took street photos of the mother and daughter, which have been on the domestic entertainment hot search.
A pair of sunglasses covered half of Miss Liu's face, and her long hair was flowing, fairy and beautiful.
Aunt Liu, who rarely showed her face in public in recent years, was well maintained and quite eye-catching.
A woman in her fifties was still so graceful, which made countless passers-by dumbfounded.
The box office of the Lunar New Year holiday has been pulled to a climax by Zhou Yutang.
On the second day of the New Year's Day holiday, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" closed at 274 million.
On the third day, 249 million.
"The New Year's Day holiday is over. Including the box office of preview screenings, the total box office of Detective Chinatown has accumulated 1.712 billion!"
"General Zhou reigns over the Lunar New Year box office, looking down on everyone and having no rivals!"
"Another money-making beast after the Theft Auto, the sequel is in the works, and General Zhou has already created the Theft Auto universe!"
"After setting a series of records such as the box office record, first-day box office record, and fastest box office record of 1 billion yuan for Chinese movies, Detective Chinatown has also broken the fastest box office record of 1.5 billion yuan for Chinese movies."
"General Zhou's battle to become a god is aimed at the highest box office record in China!"
The New Year's Day holiday is over. At present, the news headlines of the domestic entertainment sector have excluded the finale of The Princess and the continued popularity of The Journey of Flower, with ratings of over 2 on both channels.
The rest is the exaggerated box office data of Detective Chinatown.
And the photos of General Zhou, Lu Han, Da Meiyuan and others on roadshows in various places are posted on the headlines of major portals.
The strong performance of "Detective Chinatown" is like dropping a bomb on the Chinese film and television industry!
It exploded with a bang!
This exaggerated box office growth rate directly brought up the entire Lunar New Year box office market.
The entire film and television industry was completely boiling.
Not only was the industry shocked, but even passers-by found it incredible: "Oh my god, this box office is too exaggerated!"
"Boss is awesome, keep going, I'm going to take sister No. 2 to the cinema to support! Movie ticket JPG"
"Lu Chuan, Lu Chuan, I give you a chance, but it's useless!"
The industry media has already begun to make a conclusion about the Lunar New Year movies in advance.
Even "Old Cannon" and "Bad Angels" are not qualified to beat Zhou Yutang.
The worst is "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" which is in the same period as Zhou Yutang. Under the siphon effect of the movie market, the audience was sucked over, and the tomb robbers had no room for resistance.
On the second day of the holiday, it fell below 100 million, and on the last day of the holiday, the single-day box office was only 60 million.
Lu Chuan hoped that this movie would allow him to turn things around and return to the list of major domestic film directors, but he was trampled under the feet of Zhou Yutang.
"Mr. Zhou, congratulations on breaking the 1.5 billion movie box office record the fastest. What do you think of Director Lu challenging the tomb-raiding movie box office record of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin: The Lost Tomb"?"
"I'm not familiar with him, so I won't comment on it."
During the roadshow, facing the media interview, Zhou Yutang acted calmly: "But from a realistic perspective, it's a bit unrealistic."
His indifferent attitude made the reporter excited, "Then what do you think of Director Lu's previous Weibo statement? He said he wanted to challenge "Detective Chinatown Detective", and now the box office gap is a bit big. What do you think of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles"? "
"Grave Robbers' Chronicles is a very mature IP. The popularity of the TV series is enough to show that there is a large audience group. Now the box office and reputation are not ideal, which means there is a problem with the helmsman of the project.
I never regard it as a rival, I only compare it with my previous self to see if I have improved a bit. I am glad that everyone likes the movie "Detective Chinatown". This is a new attempt. As for whether the box office can break the record, Just let it happen. "
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yutang simply ignores the media's push.
This time he said something more serious and stepped on Lu Chuan, directly stepping him into the mud.
"The gap is so big!?"
Boss Jia frowned and looked at the report handed over by the film department with a complicated expression.
Both were shocked by Zhou Yutang's strength.
Some are unwilling to accept this result.
The air pressure in the entire conference room was a bit low, and the senior executives of LeTV Pictures were dejected and silent.
"Tomb Raiders" dropped 40 million at the box office in a single day. Boss Jia is not an expert in the film and television industry, but he also knows what this means.
He spent such a high price to take over "Tomb Robbery Notes" from Zhou Yutang, just to take full advantage of the popularity of the tomb robbing genre created by "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
This will drive forward the entire LeTV ecological layout.
If the project does not explode, it will be considered a failure.
It is unclear whether the cost can be recovered at the moment.
Excluding the production cost of 150 million, the publicity investment will not be less than 100 million.
The most important thing is that the pie has been drawn, and now the project has not lived up to expectations.
What should he do with his ppt next?
Of course, the defeat in this battle cannot be his problem.
But someone has to be held accountable.
Boss Jia looked at Zhang Zhao with cold eyes.
After the New Year's Day holiday, everyone returned to work one after another.
The box office of "Detective Chinatown" has obviously dropped, with a single-day box office revenue of 172 million, and the 2 billion mark is just around the corner.
At noon the next day, Wang Baorong saw Zhou Yutang rubbing his waist from time to time, and asked with concern, "Yu Tang, is your waist okay?"
"I twisted it when I took a shower last night. It's not a big problem."
Zhou Yutang waved his hand, took the bag of Chinese medicine from the assistant, inserted a straw into it and drank.
"What is this?" Lu Han asked curiously.
"Nutritional supplement to replenish your physical strength."
"Oh, I know this. There is some kind of red ginseng soup in South Korea." Lu Han suddenly realized.
"Good eyesight."
Zhou Yutang nodded approvingly.
There was nothing wrong with what Lu Han said. There was indeed ginseng in it.
This time he drank the PLUS version of the royal medicine prepared by Gao Yuanyuan.
It has been upgraded on the basis of the first version, with stronger potency and better efficacy.
After checking, there was no problem, so Zhou Yutang followed suit.
After all, Hua Tuo once said that the older you get, the more you need to make up for it.
He has been running for three times now, so it makes sense to take supplements.
In the past few days when the crew was promoting the road show, Da Meiyuan looked radiant, and her signature bright smile could often be seen on her face.
No more foxy girls will come to compete with her for a man.
Staying and flying together, so happy.
However, the crew of "Dangerous Wife" is still filming in Bay Province, and Da Meiyuan took four days off from the crew to participate in film promotion.
The road show promotion was very tiring, but Da Meiyuan was full of energy. Zhou Yutang didn't know where she got the energy from, but she communicated enthusiastically with the fans during the day.
After the tiring journey, WeChat counted more than 30,000 steps, and I could still sit up and move by myself at night.
She left the road show team this morning, and Huang Xiaoming from the Bay Province crew immediately asked for leave again, waiting for her to go back and start filming.
The night before leaving, he was particularly crazy. Governor Zhou was so arrogant that he could not avoid the battle. Although he killed Dameiyuan and begged for mercy, he himself suffered a lot of losses.
Zhou Yutang finally realized it.
In the snow, why did the prince enter the fairy land on land and still hold on to the wall when he met Pei Nanwei?
Governor Zhou is not really invincible, there are still great beauties in the world.
