Chapter 734 Whose rules?
Yangzhou thin horses have existed since ancient times.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yangzhou was a gathering place for the Lianghuai salt transport.
Business was prosperous, and there were many wealthy people, and there were also many powerful people.
With power and money, it is natural to pursue the enjoyment of quality of life.
There are great scholars talking and laughing, and there are no ordinary people in the relationship.
There is a demand for high-quality partners, so there is the deformed industry of raising thin horses.
However, the "thin horses" at that time were all trained from childhood. Not only did they have to look outstanding, but they also had to be proficient in various skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as social etiquette, so that they could be taken out with face.
In line with the development of the times, the requirements of the socialite training class for socialites are no longer limited to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but mainly focus on emotional value.
In the eyes of ordinary people, those rich people must be very powerful to make so much money.
Perhaps in some areas, there are indeed outstanding things, but some people may not be proficient in matters between men and women.
Being teased by socialites who are proficient in various secret techniques to kill men may be difficult for others to understand.
How could she find such a low-class green tea? However, in the eyes of the sponsor, she might be a considerate and good sister.
Those who admire happiness should be able to understand the happiness, including the current King Guo, who seems to enjoy Fang Yuan's gentleness

[.]
Over the past night, news reports about the Hong Kong Academy Awards last night have quickly occupied the pages of major media.
The Academy Awards, the Golden Rooster Awards, and the Golden Horse Awards are known as the three major awards for Chinese-language films. They have always been important awards in the Chinese-language film industry, but they are protected by regional protection.
However, the appearance of Zhou Yutang has undoubtedly broken this limitation.
The news about Zhou Yutang was naturally very popular, and the news about Liu Shishi's win also dominated the hot searches.
She is the first actress among the 85 flowers to win the Golden Image Award. The Tuner, which won the award in one battle, is impeccable in terms of quality and box office performance.
As the most popular 85 flower in the circle, Liu Shishi also has a good network of contacts.
Last night, the awards were freshly announced, and friends who had been following the live broadcast, such as Hu Ge, Zhao Liying, Jin Daxi, Wu Qian, Song Tie, Yuan Hong, etc., quickly sent their blessings on Weibo.
Later, the Fairy Sword sisters had a deep relationship, and Yang Mi and Tang Yan couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and sent WeChat messages for half the night.
"Congratulations to Liu Shishi, you will definitely be rewarded for your silent efforts and persistence!"
"Sister Shishi deserves the title of the 85 Flower Awards!"
"To be honest, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zyt has paved the way for her."
"Haha, it was revealed a few days ago that Liu Shishi is the heroine of Jiangdong and Yinghuang's new movie "Bad Genius" again."
Netizens kept discussing it, most people were happy for Liu Shishi, and many other female stars in the circle were envious and jealous.
Various kinds of pulling down and cross-dressing are common.
Compared with Jiangdong, the governor who turned on the sleep mode as soon as he got on the plane.
As a secretary and life assistant, Ni Ni has a lot to worry about.
Including contacting the public relations team to control comments, feedback on the promotion of Douyin short videos abroad, and sorting out the box office data of "Tomb Raider" in South Korea, the stage report of Star Game, and the schedule of her boss returning to Beijing.
Let Xiao Chen ask the flight attendant for a blanket, and gently cover her boss with it. Ni Ni secretly complained in her heart:
How crazy did he toss last night to be so sleepy today?
She has also been in the entertainment industry, so she can understand Liu Shishi's feelings-for female stars, standing on the podium to receive countless honors and applause is also the peak of their acting career.
Yijie still has a business trip in Hong Kong today, and Zhou Yutang has to rush back to Beijing to attend the celebration banquet of "The Mermaid", so the award ceremony honeymoon in Hong Kong has come to an end.
"Boss, don't you take a break?"
Ni Ni was staring at the clear and cold profile lines in a daze. Zhou Yutang, who was in his sleep, seemed to sense something. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the time on his watch, and his eyes quickly regained clarity.
"No, go and help me connect to Lin Liang's video conference."
"Boss, take care of yourself, don't be too busy, take the medicine first."
After Ni Ni explained the matter, she waved her slender hand, and the stewardess next to her handed over the black bag of Chinese medicine.
Looking at her eyes, there seemed to be some meaning of Jinlian.
Zhou Yutang did not doubt him and took it and drank it.
"Mr. Zhou."
"Well, for the casting of "In the Snow", Ren Dahua and Lin Yu are both fine, Cao Changqing will start the contingency plan."
Zhou Yutang rubbed his temples, cast his deep eyes out of the plane window, and said in a low voice: "Spread the word to me, don't use people with the surname Liang in Jiangdong's projects in the future."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Lin Liang's expression was slightly stern, and he asked: "Then Chen Daoming?"
"Use Chen Daoming."
The casting of "In the Snow" has been promoted during this period, and the casting team has made several plans for Cao Changqing.
Originally, Liang Chaowei's ranking was very high, but something went wrong during the communication, which made Governor Zhou very unhappy.
Chen Daoming's acting skills are unquestionable. He played Gu Weijun in "My 1919" before, and he also has the talent of a national scholar.
Listening to Zhou Yutang explaining things to Lin Liang, Ni Ni was recording next to him and knew what was going on.
What about the king of Hong Kong?
In front of the people who really control and formulate the rules of the game, they are not even qualified to eat on the table.
"Mr. Zhou, last night several people in the Hong Kong industry jointly issued a document calling on the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee to strengthen regional protection. They bluntly stated that it was against the rules for several Hong Kong films to win awards. What do you think of this?"
"Rules? Rules set by him? A clown, nonsense."
"Mr. Zhou, I heard that Tencent is planning to invest in Star Games. Is it true?"
"You should ask Chen Min about this, I'm not sure."
Coming out of the airport passage, Zhou Yutang was in a good mood and briefly accepted interviews with a few female reporters who liked him.
Not just because of the beautiful photo of Teacher Fan’s movie poster of “Fu Er Love Letter” that I just saw in the terminal.
What’s more, the sales of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and the number of people online have steadily increased.
As far as China is concerned, there has been a chicken-eating craze, and this game has become a hot topic in young people’s social circles.
Now, just open Bilibili. Apart from League of Legends, it’s all about chicken. You can see how popular it is.
Star Games has made great progress with this and has completely established its brand. If Xiao Ma wants to become a shareholder, it will not be an easy matter.
After getting into the Maybach S600 armored car, Zhou Yutang replied to the message and looked through the film and television information.
In the Hong Kong circle, some people in the industry are lamenting - the important award of the Hong Kong Film Awards has been completely lost and has become the governor of Jiangdong.
In the Chinese film market in March, the most surprising thing is not that the total cumulative box office of Disney's animated film "Zootopia" officially exceeded the 1.4 billion mark, breaking the record for Disney animated films in the mainland market and making a lot of money in China. Full.
Nor is it the box office of "The Revenant", which was awarded the Oscar title by Leonardo DiCaprio, with a stable box office of over 300 million.
But the world-famous superhero blockbuster "Batman v Superman" actually had a bad reputation.
Compared with the expectations raised by pre-marketing, the performance of this movie that DC has been honing for many years after its release is obviously somewhat unsatisfactory.
In the second weekend after the release of "Batman", which is the Qingming Festival holiday in China, the box office revenue was 180 million, and the total box office struggled to reach 618 million.
The reason why it failed to complete the counterattack and kill all sides during the Qingming Festival was mainly due to the joint sniper attack by four Chinese movies, in addition to the precipitous reputation.
"My Grandpa," starring Hong Fatty and Liu Tianwang, grossed 167 million in its first weekend, which is very eye-catching.
"Hot Pot Heroes", the second work of "Nightclub" director Yang Qing, starring Xichang Changhua, Bai Baihe and Qin Hao, jointly earned 140 million.
"Brothers Sleeping on My Upper Bunk" by Jiangdong niche actors Chen Xiao and Qin Lan grossed 70 million yuan.
Only "The Uninvited Guest" by Tianwang Li Riyue became a stepping stone. It only reported 3.8 million yuan and was buried in the ground after its release, with no chance of turning around.
There was a refreshing fragrance beside her, Ni Ni came over and read out the following news,
"'Mermaid' set off a craze for group viewing. The box office exploded during the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, with a total box office revenue of 3.303 billion. The miracle is still going on. Can this comeback?"
"La Dong is very angry and wants the numbers to look better."
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows, with a meaningful smile on his face.
Beijing, Dynasty Hotel, the celebration banquet of "Mermaid" was held here.
As director Zhou Xingxing, there is no doubt that he is the absolute protagonist tonight.
Apart from Zhou Yutang, who made the first record, he is the only major director in the domestic 3 billion box office club.
But with the arrival of the Grand Governor, the eyes of other people at the scene all turned around.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou for sweeping the Academy Awards."
"There are only a few awards, not worth mentioning."
"Mr. Zhou, we have projects to cooperate with in the future."
"Mr. Zhou, I'd like to toast you."
"."
Lin Yun'er looked at everyone's respectful attitude towards Zhou Yutang, her beautiful eyes shone with light, and she took the initiative to come over with a wine glass.
"Oppa, congratulations on winning the award. Your red carpet photos are very handsome."
"You've worked hard too, running so many road shows."
"It's not hard, but it's a pity that I don't have many opportunities to meet oppa. I won't go back to Seoul until tomorrow afternoon. Can oppa take me to see the night view of the capital in the evening?"
"." Zhou Xingxing paid Lin Yuner a moderate salary for the film, and even took her on several rounds of road shows. Yoona was very cooperative.
The considerate Governor Zhou accurately obtained some of the information released by Lin Xiaolu.
There is probably no one in the world who can resist the innocent little deer's attack of coquettishness.
Governor Zhou was no exception.
The two were chatting, but when it came time to speak, Zhou Yutang did not come on stage, leaving the opportunity to shine to Zhou Xingxing and Pei Kang.
Seeing the two men teaming up to smash the ice sculpture that symbolized the brilliant box office figures, the media opened fire fiercely, and the audience applauded like thunder.
Zhou Yutang's eyes moved and he paused for a moment on the handsome Mr. Wang.
He took Wu Yifan, the leader of the new generation, and took the initiative to propose a toast to Zhou Xingxing, and they seemed to have a pleasant conversation.
After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Yutang was immediately relieved.
In this vanity fair, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Hua Yi, who was working with Zhou Xingxing on the "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" project, even went to court, but as long as there was enough interest, they could sit at the same table again.
Pei Kang took the initiative to come over and chat with Zhou Yutang: "Yu Tang, the sequel to "Mermaid" has been decided."
"So fast?"
"Haha, once "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is finished, we will start preparations. Are you interested in continuing to cooperate?"
"La Dong, forget it, I have a lot of projects at hand, and I have to go abroad in a few days."
"You have to go and take a look. You are still the chief producer of "The Meg"."
"."
Zhou Yutang's polite refusal made Zhou Xingxing relieved.
With the box office of the first film so explosive, the sequel is sure to have great potential. If the Chinese film market matures and the box office depth increases, there may be hope of reaching 5 billion.
Thinking of that number, Zhou Xingxing felt hot inside. He said it was a pity, but his laughter was harder to suppress than AK.
Mr. Huayi Xiao Wang was also ecstatic.
Have you lost your mind playing with women?
Don’t you want to eat all the fat meat that comes to your mouth?
For such a big cake, wouldn't it mean that if one less person enters the venue, other products can be eaten?
Mr. Xiao Wang was smiling but not smiling at all, and said: "Mr. Zhou has many projects at his disposal. The movie "Broken Tomb" has been watched by more than 14 million people in South Korea. It's amazing, it's really amazing."
"Mr. Wang still cares about this? It's just a small fuss."
Zhou Yutang looked calm and said hello to Pei Kang: "Ladong, I have something to do tonight, so I'll go ahead."
After showing his face, he left the table early.
When he came out, even Ni Ni couldn't help but ask: "Boss, why don't you participate?"
"Mermaid" made a profit of RMB 3.3 billion. After deducting production costs, publicity and distribution, as well as theater accounts, special film funds and other expenses, it can achieve a net profit of almost RMB 900 million.
Zhou Yutang's 30% share can at least get a share of the box office of more than 300 million.
"I don't even have a script, but I'm already thinking about making money. Is it necessary to invest in such a project?"
Zhou Yutang lowered his head and sent a message to Yun'er, but didn't take it to heart at all.
Sometimes, the impact of marketing on a movie’s box office is beyond imagination.
The film quality of "Mermaid" itself is not enough to support such a high box office, and it largely relies on Zhou Xingxing's emotional marketing.
The hot topics of social public opinion around the Spring Festival are all about owing a movie ticket to Mr. Xing - it seems that anyone who doesn't go to the cinema to support him seems a little out of place.
But this kind of marketing method will also bring backlash if it is not supported by sufficient film quality.
After watching the movie, the audience realized that there seemed to be some differences compared to Zhou Xingxing's previous movies.
Now everyone has paid back the movie tickets they owed to Mr. Xing, so we won’t owe him anything in the future.
On the other side, there was singing and dancing.
Mr. Huayi Xiaowang, who smelled of alcohol, put his arms around Wu Yifan's shoulders, and his excitement was palpable.
Now that Hua Yi has obtained the ticket to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", all past grudges and grudges can be wiped away like chalk words and should not be mentioned again.
There may be hope for future sequels to "Mermaid" to get a share of the pie.
So the company’s stock price hasn’t taken off yet?
There was a lot of drinking and drinking, and the celebration banquet was unprecedentedly lively.
Shortly after Zhou Yutang left, Lin Yuner also left the table.
La Pei Kang, who stole the show in the evening, drank a few more glasses of wine and sat in the back seat of the car after leaving the show.
Pei Kang took the warm wet towel that the secretary had thoughtfully prepared and wiped his face.
Then he put the gold-rimmed glasses back on.
Looking at the bustling night view of the capital outside the window, retreating like a fleeting glimpse, a smile suddenly appeared on La Pei Kang's originally expressionless face.
He is very satisfied with this situation.
First of all, the preparations for "The Founding of an Army" are going very smoothly. Except for Zhou Yutang, it basically has an all-star lineup.
Secondly, the box office of "Mermaid" also exceeded expectations.
Zhou Yutang withdrew from the sequel project, but Pei Kang didn't think it would have much impact.
Zhou Xingxing's influence is no weaker than that of Zhou Yutang, who carries a strong Han Sanping label.
Earlier there were rumors in the circle that this was the godson of a mountain eagle.
While La Pei Kang appreciated Zhou Yutang's ability, he also had his own ideas.
In his view, it is absolutely unacceptable for a company as big as China Film Group to be extremely dependent on one person, let alone the resources left by its "predecessor".
The cooperation with Zhou Yutang can continue, but we cannot put all our eggs in one basket.
Although Governor Jiangdong is famous, there are many great directors in the film and television industry who are not necessarily inferior to him.
Wu Baige is an idler. In this Sino-Japanese crime drama, it's best if you can stand up, but it's okay if you can't stand up.
At least Zhou Xingxing guarantees that "Mermaid" topped the Chinese movie box office list, followed by "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in the Journey to the West series.
Another example is the Oscar-winning director Li An. This year, his "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" is basically a well-known film that is preparing to compete for Oscars again. It is also worth looking forward to.
Chen Kaige, who ascended to the altar in Cannes earlier than Zhou Yutang, has basically the most booked movie of the year with "The Great Wall".
There is also "The Legend of the Demon Cat" which is in preparation, describing the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The above is La Pei Kang's layout.
Lin Yoona suddenly evolved from a pure deer to a wild deer at night.
The facade of SNSD, which has more than ten years of dancing skills, is quite flexible in terms of body flexibility and can achieve some postures that are usually difficult to imagine.
After the tenderness, the wild little deer didn't even want to move, curled up lazily in Zhou Yutang's arms, watching the popular "Signal" on B station without even turning his eyes.
"How could this murderer be so hateful?"
Seeing the murderer committing crimes, Lin Yuner was also very angry and bit Zhou Yutang's shoulder very rudely.
"The murderer is hateful, why did you bite me?"
Zhou Yutang took a breath of cold air.
He had reason to suspect that Yuner might have noticed the relationship between him and IU.
After all, in that episode of the "Knowing Brothers" program, IU's eyes were so sweet that they seemed to be drawing, and it was hard to say whether Kim Heechul said anything in private.
"Isn't it Oppa who wrote the script?" Lin Yuner snorted proudly.
"I just wrote an outline, and the specific plot was written by the screenwriter team of Jiangdong Creative Center."
Zhou Yutang patted the little deer's butt drum and hugged her to watch the show together.
In the 2015 timeline, the young detective Li Jianyu held an old police intercom without batteries, and suddenly heard the voice of the old detective Zhang Qiang from it.
The story began from then on.
It was because of the intermittent signal that the two detectives in different time and space were connected, and they realized the communication across time and space, and worked together to solve the unsolved cases in the past.
The audience was looking forward to it.
After all, due to the conditions of handling the case at that time, many times they could only watch those vicious criminals go unpunished.
It was also a great pleasure to watch those guys being executed by the TV.
But as the plot develops, when the past changes, the future will also change accordingly. The dead have a chance to be saved, but the living may also die innocently.
After watching for a while, Yoona burst into tears-just watched Zhang Songwen, who played the role of police officer Zhang Qiang, who was involved in a serial murder case and involved his first love.
He and his beloved girl had originally agreed to go to the movies together, but the girl was killed by a serial killer the day before the date.
Later, Zhang Qiang walked into the cinema alone with two movie tickets.
They were going to watch a comedy movie.
Everyone around was laughing.
But Zhang Qiang was the only one holding the movie ticket in his hand, crying.
ps: This drama is not bad, and the song "Road" is also very nice
