Chapter 735: Chinese dramas go abroad, the original intention remains unchanged

Everyone laughed, but he cried alone.

Zhang Songwen's acting is very good.

The performance in this section gradually progressed and exploded, and the gentle background music amplified the emotional contrast, causing a stronger impact on the audience.

It instantly touched people's tears.

The next day, Lin Yuner, who had a schedule in the afternoon, got on the plane early, took off her sunglasses, and her eyes were slightly red and swollen. The agent was surprised and asked with concern:

"Yuner, why are your eyes swollen? Did he bully you?"

"No."

Lin Yuner, who was indeed bullied, showed a pure and invincible smile: "Last night, I chased the drama too late."

"Is it "Signal"?

"Huh? Oppa is watching it too?"

"I have chased the latest episode, but it has not been translated into Korean subtitles yet."

The agent opened the chatterbox instantly, and talked about the plot with shining eyes, not caring about Lin Yuner's red and swollen eyes.

After chatting for a while, the agent was also very tired and fell asleep soon.

Lin Yuner opened her wallet.

There was a signed photo of her meeting Zhou Yutang backstage when she just debuted.

It's been so long.

His smile is still bright.

"Mr. Zhou, Chen Daoming agreed to take this role."

Zhou Yutang's smile appeared unconsciously when he heard the news from Lin Liang.

This matter was not easy, but Lin Liang still did it.

He contacted Chen Daoming as soon as he received the notice to start the plan.

Chen Daoming was very moved, and then refused.

The reason was that he had just finished starring in the "Celebrating Yu Nian" series, and he wanted to take a good rest for a while and was not ready to take any roles.

However, Lin Liang, who was experienced in the world, still caught her weakness.

—— Chen Daoming has a precious daughter, Chen Ge, who went abroad to study early and performed Yue Opera in the Yue Opera Troupe after returning to China.

Compared with her father, Chen Ge is not too famous.

Seeing the take-off of the Chinese film and television market, she also opened a film and television company.

With Chen Daoming's connections paving the way for her, she will definitely have enough food to eat, but she can't say she is thriving.

Chen Daoming has his own artistic pursuits, but he can't help but consider his daughter's future.

Lin Liang asked Zhou Yutang if Jiangdong Entertainment's next A-level project could leave some shares for Chen Ge's company.

The power of the little cotton jacket is so strong that Chen Daoming changed his mind overnight and signed his name on the contract.

As for Xiong Ba, who retired from the world, he couldn't resist the money increase.

Chiba Shinichi heard that Jiangdong offered a salary of 300,000 per episode.

He was completely stunned.

The Japanese popular king Kimura Takuya's salary per episode on Asahi TV, TBS, and Fuji TV is 2.5 million yen (about 140,000 yuan), while on NHK it is only 800,000 yen (about 47,000 yuan).

Masato Sakai, a talented Japanese actor who became popular with "Hanzawa Naoki", is at the top of the Japanese film and television industry. His salary for starring in "Hanzawa Naoki" is about 2 million yen (about 115,000 yuan) per episode.

300,000 per episode, double the Japanese film and television industry, right?

With both the inside and the outside in place, Xiongba felt that he still had gas in the tank, so he chose to come back and fight for his career again.

Wu Wenbin, who flew to Japan, did not expect things to go so smoothly.

In fact, the budget given by the project department is 500,000 per episode, which can be negotiated.

In the past few years, 500,000 per episode was considered the top salary in the domestic entertainment industry. Capital has been pouring into the Chinese film and television industry crazily, and the salaries of first-line stars have gradually approached 208 yen, so this salary is nothing.

Most of the important roles in the play have been determined, and Zhou Yutang is very satisfied with the work progress of Lin Liang, Jiang Xuelun and others.

Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Zhou Yutang said calmly: "Let's officially announce "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" first, Alibaba may not be able to wait."

Just after the meeting ended, Zhou Yutang received a thank-you call from Director Su of Beijing Satellite TV.

"Signal" was broadcast exclusively on Beijing Satellite TV in late March, with an average audience rating of 2.028% and an average audience share of 9.73%.

After the perfect ending of "Joy of Life 3", Jingye was proud of himself this time, achieving a double kill on the ratings list of satellite TV stations.

The ratings have been rising all the way, and Beijing Satellite TV has deliberately slowed down the broadcast rhythm to maximize traffic.

With the frequent good news, Zhou Yutang was in a very good mood and browsed the online comments for a while.

The news of the Academy Awards was still on the hot search, and the red carpet photos of Governor Zhou and the new Academy Award winner Liu Shishi were full of atmosphere, and the photos of them hugging each other when they won the award have become popular.

However, he cares more about the reputation of the drama "Signal".

Standing in Zhou Yutang's current position, it is difficult to hear objective comments about the project from people around him.

Even if he casually says something, the company will repeatedly ponder it, so even if there are any bad voices outside, it will not reach his ears at all.

Just like Lu Chuan, he even felt wronged when the last project failed - because the report submitted to him by the team around him showed that most of the audience's comments were positive rather than negative.

As a big director who graduated from a prestigious film academy, he was once a big shot and was regarded by the media as the future leader of the young generation of directors.

Lu Chuan felt that he was not wrong.

That only shows that the aesthetic taste of this generation of audiences is not good.

The praise Zhou Yutang faces is completely different from Lu Chuan.

He also gets cocky sometimes, but not as conceited as Lu Chuan.

He always sticks to his original intention - film and television works are made for the audience after all.

So he often switches to a trumpet and secretly observes the comments of netizens.

"Highly recommended, the subject matter is novel and the setting is good."

"The crime suspense drama plus time travel makes people unable to stop watching it."

"Teacher Songwen took the movie ticket that he bought before his favorite person died but didn't dare to give it to him, and went to the cinema alone to watch a comedy that should have been watched by two people. Everyone was laughing, but he was the only one crying. I really cried to death."

"The Grand Commander is awesome!"

"Did you notice that there are some small bugs in the time logic of this drama? The several timelines in the drama are divided into A, B, C, D, E, and F lines. In the parallel universe (10,000 words omitted)"

"Li Jian's acting skills are not as good as Zhang Songwen and Reyiza."

"."

The setting of interlaced time and space seems novel, but in fact, this routine has been played in Hollywood more than ten years ago.

It was still Zhou Yutang's old friend Bob's New Line Company that made a movie "Black Hole Frequency" in 2000, which was only a small profit at the time.

But the time and space travel setting in the movie is eye-catching.

This directly affected a batch of subsequent film and television works.

The most famous one is the "Butterfly Effect" series, the core of which is to change the timeline and then affect the occurrence of later events.

"Signal" uses a police walkie-talkie to achieve a smooth connection between the past and the present, and travels through time and space to jointly solve domestic unsolved cases.

Some unsolved cases are fictional plots that serve to connect the entire story.

There are also several cases adapted from reality, such as the Baiyin case, such as the Jinling University case, etc.

The main theme is to solve the case intertwined with time and space, and the emotional line can only be said to be just enough, but Zhang Songwen moved countless audiences with his superb acting skills.

The comments of the industry media on "Signal" are even more explosive.

"The suspense drama "Signal" starring Zhang Songwen, Reyiza and Li Jian is the amazing work of this month!"

"Signal" ranked first on the list when it was broadcast, and the ceiling of criminal investigation dramas has been reached again!"

"Justice may be late, but it will never be absent! "Signal" saves the drama shortage!"

At the beginning, Jiangdong Entertainment took the lead in the rhythm. It is also a common publicity method in the industry to issue a press release before the broadcast.

Including the video up masters in the film and television area of ​​​​Bilibili, they have also received the task of the organization.

However, after the TV series was broadcast and attracted enough viewers, most of them were tap water.

If this wave of overwhelming traffic is not received, what is the point of marketing accounts and self-media?

For the new drama produced by Jiangdong Entertainment, a group of film critics in the industry are not idle, and they are fully fired up to analyze this popular suspense drama from various angles.

Some people highly praised it, and Zhou Yutang also saw a lot of doubts, such as the lack of rigor in the handling of the logical details of time and space travel.

And the criticism of Li Jian's acting skills.

Li Jian's acting skills are good among young actors of the same age.

But in the play, he plays against Zhang Songwen and Reyiza, and the gap is revealed.

However, the flaws do not outweigh the merits, and generally speaking, there are more positive reviews.

At present, there are 160,000 people who have rated Douban, and the score is as high as 9.3, which is enough to prove that this is a TV series of excellent quality.     The Mist Theater fired the first shot. In addition to the accumulated playback volume of more than 2.3 billion on Bilibili, the popularity on Bilibili's overseas video platform should not be underestimated.

After topping the South Korean film and television list for two consecutive weeks, a South Korean TVN TV station announced that it had purchased the South Korean film and television adaptation rights of "Signal" from Jiangdong Entertainment at a high price, and it was transmitted back to China across the ocean.

"Congratulations to Jiangdong's new drama "Signal" for being a hit in South Korea! It will be adapted into a localized film and television adaptation!"

The official media focused on reporting this matter, and soon various media rushed to report it, and online marketing accounts collectively made efforts.

In the past, the so-called Chinese dramas going abroad were all in Southeast Asia or some third world countries.

Moreover, in many cases, as long as the works can be broadcast, they are used for external publicity, and they are basically given away for free.

Domestic TV stations often spend a lot of money to import TV dramas from South Korea, creating the situation in which the Korean wave swept China in the early years.

Since Zhou Yutang debuted, Jiangdong Entertainment has risen, and domestic dramas have begun to blow the horn of reverse export to South Korea.

It is not even limited to South Korea, but has a far-reaching influence throughout Asia.

To a certain extent, Zhou Yutang has carried a banner of external publicity on his shoulders.

The overseas version of Bilibili is a very important platform.

The Jiangdong series of film and television works led by Zhou Yutang have all been translated into multiple languages ​​on the overseas video platform of Bilibili.

In recent years, a series of resource exchanges have been carried out with LeTV, Tencent, iQiyi, etc.

The market share of the overseas version of Bilibili in Asia can be said to be far ahead.

The casting work of "Snow Sword" is a big project, and it is necessary to coordinate the schedules of many parties.

However, Hu Ge agreed to guest star in Chen Wang without any hesitation.

He has always unconditionally supported Zhou Yutang's drama, even if he didn't have many scenes.

According to the script of "In the Snow", he had nothing to do in the first season.

Speaking of which, Old Hu was unlucky enough. He was still in a business trip in another place, and his father was sent to the hospital with a broken bone.

In order not to worry him, the old man deliberately concealed it, but it was Hu Ge's female assistant who was careful and found the clues.

Old Hu left his work behind and hurried back to Shanghai. Zhou Yutang made a special effort to contact the hospital and take care of Hu's father.

Hu Ge was naturally very grateful. Even Hu's father called to express his gratitude.

"Signal" has been aired to the second half, and the popularity is still very high. Some smart people on the Internet have begun to think about the case of the silver case.

At the same time, there are also many press releases for another super IP "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

Alibaba made proper preparations in advance and officially announced the heroine Yang Ying, and the hero is Jia Shikai's top general Yang Yang. Fans of both parties have begun to promote it.

No one expected that Tianbao, after breaking up with Feng Shaofeng, would have a chance and usher in the peak of his acting career.

Yang Yang is also a fish leaping over the dragon gate. Being qualified to star in such a large project is a proof of his own status.

The TV version of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" in Jiangdong is also attracting much attention.

After a round of fans, a press conference was finally held to officially announce: "Eternal Love, directed by Lin Yufen and starring Yang Mi and Wang Kai, will start filming in Hengdian!"

The entire film and television industry was instantly in an uproar.

Such an S-level fairy drama is destined to be the most watched project in the industry.

Da Mimi is very courageous. She would rather take a salary lower than the market quotation and bring the artists of Mixing into the group.

Including Chen Yao and Gao Weiguang, they also successfully got important roles in this drama.

Da! Da! Da!

The bullets flew out of the chamber, and the rhythmic sound of breaking through the air was like the roar of a beast.

Looking at the human-shaped standing target that fell down in response, the coach beside him flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes and gave Zhou Yutang a thumbs up:

"Mr. Zhou, you are awesome."

"I haven't played for a long time, and I'm a little rusty."

Zhou Yutang took off his goggles and put down the M4A1 in his hand.

Boys are generally hard to resist the joy of shooting. When filming "The Man from Nowhere", Zhou Yutang learned military knowledge for a while.

Later, Li Dagou had a way and played live-fire shooting with him.

Talented people are like this, and they can easily get started in anything.

But today it was not that Zhou Yutang was itching to shoot. During his trip to Hong Kong, Miss Liu somehow got addicted to shooting.

Chatting with the shooting instructor, Zhou Yutang watched the coach teaching Liu Yifei to adjust her shooting posture.

Miss Liu tilted her head and aimed with full concentration.

Her thick black hair was tied into a ponytail, hanging diagonally behind her head.

She wore a black tight sportswear on her upper body, and hot pants on the bottom, which well outlined her thin waist and hips, and her long legs were white and plump.

After shooting a round, the results were not ideal. Miss Liu took off her glasses and smiled shyly, her delicate skin glowing with a healthy rosy color after exercise.

After playing in the shooting gallery for an afternoon, I got a call from Shu Chang and arranged to have dinner together.

Zhou Yutang was used to the existence of Shu Chang as a light bulb. Sometimes it was more lively when there were more people.

He sent her the address, which was a newly opened high-end Japanese restaurant.

Zhou Yutang had eaten too much hot pot after the New Year, so she was ready to change her taste.

And in the evening, she had to practice immortal cultivation, so she had to eat light.

About half an hour later, Shu Chang, wearing a white baseball cap, a black mask, a white cardigan and a blue skirt, came late.

"Big star, I'm waiting for you to have dinner."

Zhou Yutang looked up and glanced, joking.

There were many dinners waiting for him, but this was the first time that the Grand Commander had been waiting for him at the beginning of the year.

"Xixi, Boss Zhou, I'm really sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road."

Shu Chang put his hands together and apologized repeatedly. Liu Yifei didn't care about these things. She waved and pulled her bestie to sit down.

Zhou Yutang was in a good mood in the afternoon, and took a few photos of her shooting. Miss Liu was very satisfied and prepared to ask Shu Chang to help her choose the best ones to post on Weibo.

"Wow, Xixi, you have a great figure."

"It's just so-so, Xiao Zhou took a good photo."

"This waist, this hip, this leg, your Xiao Zhou is blessed."

The two girls got together, and Shu Chang suddenly whispered.

Women are often unrestrained beyond imagination when driving. Zhou Yutang was drinking water and almost choked.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are going to die."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Shu Chang, slapped her thigh, and pulled her to mutter,

"Look at this one, how about it?"

"This one is not bad, just post all of them."

Usually, Miss Liu takes selfies in just a few poses.

After posting on Weibo, she threw her phone aside. The two besties hadn't seen each other for a while, and it seemed that they had endless things to say.

Zhou Yutang was not idle either, replying to the message of Milk Tea Zhou.

After Jay Chou established his own e-sports team, he has been addicted to games recently and has made plans to play games together at night.

"Jay Chou is still playing games?"

Shu Chang was surprised when he heard the voice message.

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "He not only plays games, but also often goes to feed his baby while playing."

"Ah?"

Shu Chang was slightly stunned, and then thought of the reality that Jay Chou is already a dad, and laughed out loud with Liu Yifei: "Go, go, go, Boss Zhou, don't tease me."

"Doesn't Kunling take care of the children?"

"Kunling has a lot of announcements now."

Jay Chou has indeed been playing games all night recently, so that he can feed his daughter Xiao Zhou Zhou in the middle of the night.

As for Kunling, she was just an unknown celebrity in the Black Society.

Since she became the wife of a superstar, her value has soared. After she gave birth to a baby and returned to work, she received many endorsement notices.

Sometimes, a woman's choice is more important than hard work.

After the dinner, Zhou Yutang took the two girls to watch "Hot Pot Heroes".

Among the movies in the Qingming Festival, the movie directed by Yang Qing should have the best reputation, but it was released for seven days and the box office was only over 200 million.

This is not the first time Shu Chang has come to the Starry Sky Cinema. Every time he comes, he is shocked and said with some regret: "Boss Zhou, I feel that this movie is not bad, why is the box office not high?"

"The name of the movie is not very good, and the publicity and positioning are problematic."

When Zhou Yutang saw the name, he immediately thought of a food-themed movie.

Although the factory flower worked very hard to run the road show, she fainted in the bathroom and had a bump on her head, but the box office still did not rise.
