Chapter 728: Wolf Warrior 2 is launched, the water is very deep

Liu Shishi is also busy after the new year. She has to shoot the covers of fashion magazines and endorsement ads for the new year, as well as the drama promotion work of "The Legend of the Female Medical Concubine".

Although the ratings did not beat "Celebrating the Year 3" and were slightly lower than "The Young Marshal", the popularity was acceptable and it was considered an effective drama.

It was rare to have two days of rest, but Zhou Yutang had endless meetings.

We just finished the TV series seminar, and it was an important meeting of the Directors Association.

However, Liu Shishi also had her own social circle. Da Mi Mi and Tang Yan were both on the set, and Feng Chu Jin Daxi also joined the cast, so she made an appointment with Song Tie, the newest member of the harem group, to watch the movie together.

I had watched "The Mermaid" with Zhou Yutang a long time ago, not to mention it broke Zhou Yutang's record. The first sister was so upset that it was naturally impossible for her to contribute to the box office.

The hottest thing right now is Disney’s “Zootopia.”

With a mask covering most of his face and a fisherman's hat on his head, Liu Shishi walked briskly and walked into the VIP channel with Song Tie under the guidance of the manager of Jiangdong Jiahe Cinema.

With a quick glance, he saw Universe Dan in a dark Chinese gown. The movie poster of Tyson, the boxing champion with a serious look on his face, was hanging in the corridor.

"Ip Man has actually made it to the third film."

Since "Zootopia" hit the Chinese film market in early March, it grossed 155 million in its first week, and its reputation has exploded. According to Zhou Yutang, it may be the new king in March.

I don’t know if Master Yip, who can hit ten movies released at the same time, can withstand it.

Liu Shishi originally wouldn't pay attention to this, but under Zhou Yutang's influence, he gradually began to pay attention to this information.

Song Tie looked around and felt as if he was Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. No matter how he looked at it, he felt novel.

The space layout of the entire theater is spacious and comfortable, with bright stars twinkling on the ceiling, and the atmosphere is romantic and dreamy.

Sitting down with Liu Shishi, the body sank into the comfortable leather seat, which was indescribably comfortable and relaxing.

The shocking audio-visual enjoyment made her couldn't help but ask: "Sister Shi Shi, why is there no one?"

"This is not open to the public."

Liu Shishi handed Song Tie a cup of milk tea, chatted and laughed, and gradually became immersed in the beautiful atmosphere of the story.

I can only say that it is indeed worthy of its 100% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes and its incredible reputation of 9.2 on Douban.

"That sloth is too funny."

"It obviously moves extremely slowly, why is it called lightning, goose goose goose goose!"

After the movie screening ended, Liu Shishi and Song Tie discussed the movie just now and both found it very interesting.

Until he received the news from Zhou Yutang, Liu Shishi lowered his head and replied smoothly: "Xiao Tie, let's have dinner together later, and then I will take you home."

"Sister Shi Shi, I can take a taxi myself. This is too troublesome for you." Song Tie said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, Yu Tang just finished his meeting, and there are a lot of people eating hot pot."

Liu Shishi took Song Tie to meet the hot pot restaurant. Zhou Yutang arrived ten minutes late, and Song Tie became a little cautious.

Zhou Yutang lowered his head and took out the tableware he brought with him from his bag. Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned: "The tableware here is not clean?"

It's not wrong to think about it. The hygiene and service of our own hot pot restaurant are top-notch.

Liu Shishi patted him and explained: "Xiao Tie is a bit of a germophobe, and the house is very clean and tidy."

"No, just clean it up casually."

Song Tie's crystal-white face instantly blushed, and she quickly glanced at Zhou Yutang. Fortunately, the governor didn't pay attention to her, otherwise she would have really wanted to dig a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Until now, Song Tie is still shaking the dreamy and romantic Starry Sky Cinema that was just set up for private individuals.

This is a luxury that breaks the cognition of ordinary people.

However, Song Tie felt relieved when he thought that this was the handiwork of the Governor of Jiangdong. Even the popular hot pot, Yun Chao, was his property.

In this entertainment industry, there is no one richer and more powerful than him, right?

After graduating from Chinese Opera, he was admitted to the Humanities Department, and then jumped from the Humanities to the entertainment industry, becoming an instant hit.

Song Tie is undoubtedly a girl with high emotional intelligence. When chatting with the first sister, she did not neglect Governor Zhou and took the initiative to bring up the topic:

"Mr. Zhou, Jiangdong seems to have another drama to be broadcast this month. It is a criminal investigation drama from Fog Theater. It will be played by Teacher Zhang Songwen. What is it called?"

""Signal"."

"Yes, I saw the preview and it seems pretty good."

"I heard that several cases were adapted from major real-life cases."

The two girls were chattering, the meal was heart-warming and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Qing Yu Nian 3" has perfectly dominated the small screen at the beginning of the new year. Now it has aired in the second half, and the successor is "The Signal", the pioneering work of Fog Theater.

Beijing TV has been promoting it intensively recently. When you open the B station, you can see the interview videos of Zhang Songwen and the three leading actors, Li Jian and Reyizha, as well as the trailer videos made by the major up actors in the film and television area.

It has a good reputation as a brand of Kodong family, and the early publicity is in place. There are more than 6 million people who have made reservations, so the popularity is not low.

This year’s TV drama circle is really lively.

In addition to "Signal", Damimi's "Dear Translator" is also scheduled to be broadcast in the first half of the year.

The summer release is "Ode to Joy", and "The Lonely and Brilliant God", which sold for a sky-high price even before the post-production was completed, will probably be released around the National Day.

In addition, Jiangdong Entertainment's "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and "Swordsman in the Snow" are also in preparation, and they are very likely to compete with Xinli Media's "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" jointly produced by LeTV.

In the words of the industry, it was a fight between gods.

Zhou Yutang also joined the topic from time to time, occasionally talking about some interesting things he encountered during his trip to South Korea.

Realizing that Shishi was talking and laughing as usual, with no change in expression, as if she didn't take the most popular Zhou Dudu's love affair to heart, Zhou Yutang's face was as calm as a lake, and he breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

After dinner, Zhou Yutang asked the driver to drive Shishi's Buick GL8 to take Song Tie home. The girl was quite polite and came over to thank him.

Taking his eyes off Song Tie's legs wrapped in black stockings, Zhou Yutang rolled up the window and started the Maybach.

Song Tie was a treasure that Cai Yinong dug up before the New Year. He had only met Zhou Yutang three times, and each time he wore stockings.

The fight between gods in the TV drama circle has not yet started, and the news that Jiangsu Provincial TV Station is going to invite Mango TV's host Wang Han to join with a high salary and a high position has caused an uproar in the circle.

Now it's not just entertainment companies that are poaching senior talents from each other, but even TV stations are competing fiercely.

A host with outstanding ability like Wang Han is a hot commodity.

Jiangsu TV first spread the news, and then there was another report that the senior management of Shanghai Tomato TV met with Wang Han to discuss the details of his job-hopping treatment.

Mango TV finally couldn't sit still and soon announced publicly: "Wang Han is one of the main hosts of Mango TV. He has deep feelings for Mango TV and is of great significance. He will definitely not leave. There will be some changes in his next job. This year, he cooperated with Youku.com to produce a self-made variety show "Mars Intelligence Agency". Please look forward to it."

Wang Han may want to change jobs or use this opportunity to raise the price and negotiate conditions.

After the ratings of traditional TV stations declined, two self-made online dramas in Jiangdong became a big hit last year. Online movies and variety shows based on video platforms seem to have become the next outlet.

Several video platform giants have plans on record.

For a while, the entertainment industry was in turmoil.

Paris Fashion Week has always been a show for domestic stars.

It is also Teacher Fan's comfort zone. She will not miss such occasions. She just finished filming "I Am Not Madame Bovary" and flew to Paris.

She wore a red leather coat, eyeliner and red lips, showing her charm. Liu Yifei beside her wore a water blue tulle embroidered fairy dress.

The two stood together.

One was naturally charming, and the other was simple and elegant like a fairy.

The photo of Teacher Fan and Liu Tianxian laughing together went viral.

It's strange to say that these two people basically have no intersection in normal times, and Zhou Yutang didn't know how they could chat together.

Tianxian and Teacher Fan were both beautiful in Paris, and Governor Zhou was not idle either. He took time to take Shishi to Wu Jing's house.

Xie Nan broke his foot before the New Year and rested at home for a while.

Zhou Yutang has always been good at dealing with people. He was very busy before the New Year, and he also arranged for someone to send nutritional supplements to express his condolences.

Well, it was Huang Xiaoming's seafood gift package.

He sent it to Beijing and his hometown in Jiangsu Province. Zhou Yutang couldn't finish it, so she just borrowed some flowers to offer to the Buddha and gave some to Xie Nan.

It seems that the nutrition is indeed in place.

During the New Year period, Xie Nan's cheek curves have become rounder.

She saw Liu Shishi, who has a slim figure and is in excellent condition due to high exercise recently, and she was a little envious.

"Sister Nan, can you get out of bed?"

"Yes, but don't move too much."

"Well, you still have to pay more attention."

Guangguang's host is something. She is a good friend of Liu Yifei and also a close friend of Liu Shishi.

She is very popular with both Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi. At this moment, she is chatting with Liu Shishi, and Zhou Yutang is carrying Wu Jing to play with Xie Nan's son.

It can be seen that Wu Suowei's daily life is very colorful. In a corner of the living room, there is a childlike puzzle on the floor, on which are piled various building blocks and toys.

Zhou Yutang easily bribed the little guy with a toy excavator.

"It's quite fun."

Zhou Yutang held the chubby Wu Suowei, raised his hands to the sky, leaned over to embrace the moon, and had a lot of fun.

Wu Suowei really didn't care. He had the style of his father. He was not afraid at all, but giggled.

"If it's fun, just give birth to one yourself."

Wu Jing, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with pork rib soup and said something unexpected.

This straight man, he talked about everything!

Xie Nan was very perceptive and winked at her husband desperately.

Didn't you see that Liu Shishi blushed?

But then again, I don't know if it's a fairy or a big sister who will have a baby first.

Xie Nan felt a headache for Governor Zhou, so she pulled Liu Shishi to change the topic to skin care. Zhou Yutang also held Wu Suowei and chatted with Wu Jing at the kitchen door.

"Did Lao Wang call you?"

"I got a call in South Korea. We can prepare this year. Let's do cost accounting first."

"Will it not be possible to start soon?"

Wu Jing was instantly excited when he heard this. His hands trembled and he accidentally put too much salt.

But this didn't bother him at all. He scooped some water and added it to the pot.

This tomato scrambled eggs is definitely not edible.

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly: "It depends on the situation. It will be decided by the middle of the year at the latest."

He was talking to Wu Jing about "Wolf Warrior 2".

The year before last, "Wolf Warrior" pioneered the military-type movie. It performed well in both word of mouth and box office. The sequel was also decided early.

Zhou Yutang looked over the N versions of the script submitted by the screenwriter team and finally nodded.

The dishes cooked by Wu Jing are not bad, and are about evenly matched with those cooked by Chef Huang.

Seeing Liu Shishi discussing the dress with Taozi, Zhou Yutang was responsible for providing reference opinions.

With less than a month to go before the Academy Awards, the dress must be prepared in advance.

Since the Chinese New Year, two consecutive movies with a box office of 3 billion have been released.

The prosperity of Chinese film and television has arrived, attracting countless hot money to pour in, which seems to indicate that the entire Chinese film and television industry has taken off.

However, with the prosperity on the stage, some older generations have quietly withdrawn from the stage.

First, the father of Berlin Film Emperor Liao Fan, Mr. Liao, caused a lot of controversy last year because of the revelations of former Mango TV employees.

Even though Liao Fan later took him to court, not many people paid attention. Mr. Liao was in poor health and was hospitalized before the New Year. He suddenly passed away after the New Year, which was indeed unexpected.

In March, another old senior in the film and television industry passed away.

That is, Ge You's father, Mr. Ge Cunzhuang.

In the past era of big studios, there was no such thing as a star. When literary and artistic workers reached a certain stage and accumulated enough qualifications and reputation, they would automatically be promoted to old artists with both virtue and art.

This is the case with Mr. Ge.

As a well-known supporting actor of the older generation, he rarely played the leading role in his acting career, but he still left many popular classic works.

He played several roles in "White Haired Girl".

The Neon manager Shimada in "Mine Lamp", Jin Wang in "Little Erhei Gets Married", and especially the captain Kameda in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", made countless people hate him.

His interpretation of the villain is superb.

Babaoshan, the auditorium.

Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Zhao Baogang, Guo Baochang, Chen Daoming, Liu Xiaolingtong, Wu Ruofu, Feng Gong, Zhang Guoli and others were all present.

Even Yu Lan, who was 95 years old, came in a wheelchair.

Zhou Yutang, dressed in a solemn black suit, came to pay his respects in person.

He has some connection with Mr. Ge.

Jiangdong operated the Screenwriter Gold Award, and invited Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang to take the lead. Mr. Ge was also one of the final judges.

The old man wanted to do something for the Chinese film industry. He was keen on recommending excellent film scripts and cultivating fresh blood for the Chinese film industry.

It is worth mentioning that the Film Association registered group voted unanimously to award this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award Lifetime Achievement Award to Mr. Ge in advance, and the Dragon Propaganda Department confirmed it after approval.

When the process was over, Zhou Yutang went to Chayun with Zuoshan Diao to taste tea.

Since he retired from his position, there were not so many things to worry about, and Zuoshan Diao's face became more and more ruddy.

"Mr. Han, how is the preparation for the last dance of the founding trilogy going?"

The founding trilogy series led by Zuoshan Diao pioneered the tribute film. This year, the last part of the trilogy, "The Founding of an Army", was launched.

Han Sanping waved his hand expressionlessly: "I'm just a retired old man. This is his project, and he has the final say."

Oh, it seems that Mr. La and Zuoshan Diao don't seem to get along so well.

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and soon realized the problem.

La Peikang originally wanted to ask Zhou Yutang to take charge, but after being rejected, they discussed several times internally and finally agreed that Liu Weiqiang would take over.

Han Sanping only served as the chief planner and artistic director, and Huang Jianxin was still the producer, but La Peikang meant to imitate Zuoshan Diao's invitation to Zhou Yutang and invite the most popular traffic in the circle to perform.

For this kind of main theme project, celebrities all join for free, because being able to participate in this kind of project is equivalent to an implicit endorsement from the official.

La Peikang was also very straightforward. Since he couldn't invite the Jiangdong Grand Commander, he invited many artists from Jiangdong.

For example, last year, Zhang Tianai, who became popular with the TV series "Go Princess Go", Zhou Yutang has received news from her. It is said that she played Song Meiling, and there is also General Xiyi played by Li Jian.

[The special episode of "Knowing Brothers" by Zhou Yutang, the ratings exceeded 15%, creating the highest record since the program was launched! ]

[The number of viewers of "Tomb Raider" in South Korea officially exceeded 7 million, ranking first in the annual box office list of South Korea! ]

[The Chinese character tattoos of "Tomb Raider" are popular in South Korea and have become a trend nowadays! ]

Several news reports from next door quickly occupied the pages of major domestic media.

Although the subject matter is somewhat sensitive and the official media did not come out to help, this type of Feng Shui zombie tomb-themed movie is not unfamiliar to Chinese netizens.

In the golden age of Hong Kong movies, who hasn't seen the powerful Uncle Nine subduing zombies without anger?

In fact, "Tomb Raider" has borrowed the tone of Hong Kong zombie movies to some extent, but what makes everyone more excited is the video on TikTok, the overseas version of Douyin.

As the movie became popular in South Korea, it was unknown who started it, but it became popular in Korea to imitate the movie poster style, put Chinese characters on the face of yourself or your favorite idol, and then post it on tiktok to show off.

The popularity was quite high, and many foreigners thought it was cool and followed suit, turning into rune warriors.

In fact, this was called tattooing in ancient times.

For example, the well-known "Water Margin" often has stories of being tattooed and exiled to a remote place, and then escaping halfway.

——Tattooing the face of a criminal is also a warning mark, which makes people know at a glance that this guy is not doing good things and the meaning is not good.

The sudden popularity surprised even Zhou Yutang.

But for now, he is not entangled in this, and most of his energy is still invested in the preparations for the two major dramas.

"The romantic love movie "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" produced by Dongwu Films, directed by Xue Xiaolu, and starring Fan Binbin and Pan Yueming is scheduled for May Day. The first trailer was released today, recreating the classic scene of "Northwest"!"

"The movie "The Great Tang Xuanzang" produced by China Film Group, starring Huang Xiaoming, Xu Guangtou, Luo Jin, Pu Bajia and others, is officially scheduled for April 29, witnessing the friendly relations between China and India!"

Several movies scheduled for May Day have begun to promote their work, and the film industry is very lively.

The newly released "Ip Man 3" closed at 470 million in the first weekend after collecting 150 million on the first day, which is quite strong.

This is the first film in March to achieve a single-day box office of over 100 million after "The Mermaid".

Not only did it end the continuous championship of "The Mermaid" that dominated the box office list for 25 days since its release, but it also blatantly drove the Disney animated film "Zootopia" off the throne of the daily box office.

["Ip Man 3" grossed over 100 million yuan on its first day of release, with overwhelming word of mouth! 】

The producers spared no effort in marketing, with overwhelming press releases.

Many Chinese martial arts masters suddenly appeared online, saying that they could knock Tyson to the ground with just one move

Lu Yang and Wen Muye both tagged Zhang Jing in the company's WeChat group as if joking, and Zhang Jing, the person involved, was quite speechless.

As a former world-famous heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson, his right fist could hit with an exaggerated force of 800-1000 pounds (about 362.87 - 453.59 kilograms).

If an ordinary person gets hit like this, he can basically consider restarting.

Zhou Yutang had learned martial arts from Teacher Yu Chenghui, so he knew the ins and outs of it.

Without weapons, just physical combat, even attacks can't break Tyson's defense. They are not in the same weight class at all. If they really fight, they will definitely not be able to withstand it.

However, during the Republic of China period, there were indeed many masters, such as Sun Lutang, the world's number one, Li Shuwen, the magic gun, Guo Yunshen who conquered the world with half-step collapse fist, Du Xinwu, the great hero of the north and south, etc., all of whom had real kung fu.

At that time, kung fu was a real killing skill.

Now it is a harmonious society, and traditional martial arts have no place to be used, so they are gradually only used for performances.

A few years ago, a national martial arts book was published at a certain point. After Zhou Yutang finished reading it, he was deeply surprised and took the copyright into his pocket at that time. The price was not expensive at that time.

Later, it seems that the author had a quarrel with the senior management of the website and ran away to other websites. The film and television copyright development of this modern national martial arts is also in progress.

However, due to the unclear market prospects in the past few years, the project has been shelved. It seems that it can be prepared in the past two years.

Master Ye didn't sit on the box office champion throne for long, and soon someone broke the news that the box office data was fake, and then he was pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

"The sky-high midnight ghost show, one ticket is more than 200!"

"I just want to know, who would watch a full theater at the midnight show?"

"It's not scientific that all the movie tickets are sold out during non-prime time on weekdays."

The Internet is in an uproar, all of which are condemning "Ip Man 3". The Film Bureau directly intervened and confirmed that there is indeed a phenomenon of false show at abnormal times, and confirmed that the investors of "Ip Man 3" have bought a lot of box office tickets.

"Is it that Boss Shi who is doing it again?"

Zhou Yutang mentioned this person when chatting with Tian Ming in daily life.

Boss Shi, the general manager of Kuailu Investment, is a big crocodile on the pig-killing list. He joined hands with Master Yang to establish Fire Entertainment. At present, the two are partners with deeply bound interests.

This man is also the behind-the-scenes promoter of the Sino-US co-production "The Bombing". When Huang Shengyi fainted on the Oscar red carpet, this boss Shi was there. He also actively approached Zhou Yutang and released some information. Zhou Yutang naturally kept his distance. They are not on the same path. Governor Zhou wants to make the entertainment industry bigger and stronger. And Boss Shi wants to use film and television projects to achieve some ulterior deep-seated goals. The water here is very deep.
