Chapter 748: What a gentle killing knife, never walk alone
This guy's voice is a bit loud.
The eyes of the people around him turned.
Zhou Yutang touched his chin with his left thumb, bent his index finger, gently touched his nose, and lowered his voice:
"Keep a low profile, Haozi."
"You want to be low-key, but your strength doesn't allow it."
Huang Bo on the other side poked his head out and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Today, the Grand Commander was rarely without a beauty by his side, and was surrounded by the two brothers who sang the same tune.
The follow-up effect caused by that Weibo post, the screening of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" has almost miraculously begun to rise against the trend.
Domestic theaters have given the Grand Commander enough face.
The award ceremony tonight was quite lively. Zhou Yutang went to receive the Best Screenwriter Award for "Detective Chinatown".
After returning to the stage, he talked with Ning Hao and Huang Bo, and the awards on the stage were presented one after another.
Bai Baihe won the Best Actress Award for "Go Away, Tumor King", and Zhang Songwen won the Best Actor Award for his well-received performance in "The Accidental Detective".
Chen Jianbin's work "A Spoon" won the Jury Award, and Guan Miao's "Old Cannon" won the Organizing Committee Award.
Xu Haofeng's legendary story of the Republic of China martial arts "Master" won the Best Film Award.
The Best Director Award went to Section Chief Jia, who directed "Mountains May Depart".
Zhou Yutang was just present at the event, not for the award, but the Jiangdong Group also reaped a lot of rewards.
After the award ceremony, Section Chief Jia invited Zhou Yutang and Ning Hao to his group's dinner.
Since last year's "Mountains May Depart", Section Chief Jia, who has not been seen for almost half a year, has done a lot of big things.
It's not just Zhou Yutang who is promoting and supporting new directors. Section Chief Jia launched the "Tianyi Plan" as early as 2010, which is also promoting the growth of potential new directors in the circle.
In addition, he has been working hard for the Tianchao New Film Festival. Seeing his rosy face, it seems that he has really made some progress.
"Next year, at the latest, it will be in Pingyao Ancient City. You and Director Ning must come then!"
"I will definitely come then."
Ning Hao was also surprised. Zhou Yutang let go of Chief Jia's excitedly clenched hand without showing any expression.
During the dinner, it was mentioned that today, the Grand Commander responded to the call of hundreds of people, and nearly half of the entertainment industry supported "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".
Including Chief Jia, photographer Yu Li and producer Zhang Dong, who have worked together for many years, all felt excited and drank a lot.
The main reason is that everyone is a practitioner, and they are all deeply involved in the field of art films and know the specific situation.
As far as China is concerned, there is basically no soil for art genres to survive in theaters.
"Mr. Zhou, please do as you please. I must toast you today."
Chief Jia's partner Wang Hong raised his head and drank a glass of white wine without any hesitation.
As they toasted each other, the distance between them was invisibly shortened. After a few glasses of white wine, Chief Jia's eyes were blurred.
"I have been in this circle for almost 20 years. Working with my brothers to do Nuanliu Culture is also a transformation attempt after careful consideration.
Mr. Zhou, Director Ning, please give me more advice in the field of commercial films in the future."
"Haha, you should ask Yu Tang for this. Who can do better than him in the entertainment industry?"
Thinking that Zhou Yutang had just recovered from his illness, Ning Hao directly contracted his share of wine.
The big gold chain fought against the heroes, and threw another peanut into his mouth and pressed it slightly.
"I dare not give you advice, let's communicate more."
"Mr. Zhou, you are too modest. I will toast you another glass."
The CEO of Nuanliu Culture Company is Wang Hong, who is the one who is very enthusiastic. He is responsible for the company's commercial capital operation.
The photographer Yu Liwei, producer Zhang Dong and others who have cooperated with Chief Jia for many years are also shareholders of Nuanliu, responsible for technology and production respectively.
Zhou Yutang can understand Chief Jia's ideas.
Making art films is a family business. In the past, it was possible to sell foreign copyrights and the income was pretty good.
But now the version has changed.
The Chinese film market is in full swing. Seeing that everyone is making a lot of money, who wouldn't be jealous?
The business can be expanded to the commercial film track, and artistic pursuits can also give way to money. There is really no need to be hard on money.
Even Lou Huohua, who has directed art films such as "Suzhou River", "Spring Breeze Intoxicated Night", and "Tuina", has temporarily put down his favorite art films and transformed into a commercial film project.
The police and gangster film "Hell Lovers" that was officially announced a few days ago also invited Shu Qi, Jing Boran, and Ma Sikuo. It can be regarded as a luxurious lineup and has attracted much attention.
However, while talking with Chief Jia about the company's operations, Zhou Yutang suddenly heard a name that didn't fit in.
"Li Yuchun?"
"Brother Chun also wants to be a director?"
Ning Hao was also dumbfounded.
"The script is still being revised, maybe two years later"
Chief Jia's speech was a bit lisp.
It is said that good actors can become directors. Since Zhou Yutang took this path, many actors including Xu Guangtou and Deng Chao have tried it.
Unexpectedly, even Li Yuchun, the owner of the C position, turned to Nuanliu Culture and prepared to take up the director's baton and do a big job.
I have to say.
Chun Ge's thinking is indeed advanced enough, and his directorial debut is a domestic modern musical film.
[Meet Haidilao's strong alliance, Governor Zhou and Fan Binbin join hands to support the stage! ]
[The Grand Governor attended the Beijing University Student Film Festival and was very popular! ]
[The producer knelt down live, the Grand Governor called for support from the big guys! ]
[Director Wu Tianming's masterpiece "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" counterattacked in the scheduling! ]
Except for the release of the charming and lovely Reuters stills of Da Mimi's "Three Lives Three Worlds", which made her presence felt.
The entertainment headlines of major portals, the hot posts on forums, and the hot searches on Weibo were all news related to Zhou Yutang.
After he posted a message in support of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", his influence continued to spread, and even La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun called him specially.
The next day, the current film market made some adjustments to the film schedule.
The film schedule of "Northwest 2" did not change much, and the one that was affected was "Captain America 3". The film schedule of this Marvel blockbuster dropped by 10 points, and this part of the film schedule was transferred to "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".
The result was that "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" had a 12.2% film schedule, and the single-day box office suddenly increased to 28.8 million.
This box office data may not be a big deal today when the Chinese film market is taking off, but in the field of domestic art films, it is already an extremely amazing number, and it has created another exaggerated record of a domestic film box office counterattack with an increase of more than 100 times.
There has never been such a precedent before.
Looking to the future, it is also an unbreakable record.
Directors are undoubtedly at the top of the food chain in the entertainment industry.
Chun Ge wants to prove himself with a musical, and Li Cheng is more ambitious, and he directly started a 200 million project.
Everyone wants to be a director, even Huang Bo is no exception.
In fact, he has long had the idea of being a director, and he once shot a micro-film "The Undrunk Life of 2B Youth" in 2012.
A 2B youth, after getting drunk in KTV, forgot his private room number in the chaos, but accidentally broke into various circles.
From the perspective of a half-drunk and half-awake youth, it shows the various lives in the small world of KTV.
One shot to the end, quite bold.
At that time, Ning Hao and Zhou Yutang both watched it and gave good reviews, but Huang Bo himself is a steady and steady person.
He does not have much confidence in directing a feature film, and as a first-line big star, he has a tight schedule, and there is a script that has been revised several times, which has been delayed until now.
In recent days, Huang Bo has been running to Jiangdong Building very diligently.
In addition to asking Ning Hao for his opinion, he wanted to hear Zhou Yutang's opinion.
After all, the Grand Commander was famous for his unique vision and helped the three generals of Jiangdong. Brother Bo also wanted to make progress.
After reading the entire script, Huang Bo still couldn't find any clues from Zhou Yutang's calm expression. He gave up guessing and asked directly: "Yutang, what do you think?"
Smoothing the wrinkles of the script in front of him, Zhou Yutang smiled: "It feels quite interesting. I wish you a smooth shooting."
An ordinary employee of a company participated in the company's team building with his colleagues, but was trapped on a deserted island after encountering huge waves at sea.
Departing from the original social order and civilized constraints, in order to survive, all kinds of absurd events happened.
In the end, the protagonist harvested love after hard work and returned to the city with everyone rescued.
The ending of the family reunion may not be very profound, but there is no lack of highlights.
Some settings are somewhat similar to the boutique American TV series "Lost" that was popular abroad a few years ago, although the latter ended badly.
Nowadays, variety shows with the theme of survival on deserted islands are not uncommon. The "Wild Survival" and "Single in the Wild" series, which B station has bought out the copyright, have a large audience in China.
"Then I'll lend you the auspicious words."
Huang Bo heard this, his eyes lit up like two flashlights, and he grinned.
Even knowing that Zhou Yutang might be saying auspicious words, it gave him a shot of heart.
When he left the Jiangdong Building, his steps were a little shaky, and his mind was full of his box office success.
He happened to meet Liu Shishi, who was walking with the wind, and Huang Bo greeted him with a smile on his face: "Hey, Shishi, are you looking for Yutang?"
"Well, Brother Bo, hello."
Liu Shishi stopped and smiled gently.
They were all acquaintances, so they chatted briefly when they met.
They went up to the ninth floor without any obstacles. Liu Shishi told Zhou Yutang about this matter and was also a little surprised.
This time, she came to report two projects to Zhou Yutang, but she was not in a hurry at all. When it was time for lunch, the first thing Liu Shishi thought of was to eat.
"I read the online report that the new pineapple sweet and sour pork in Jiangdong Canteen seems to be delicious. Let's eat this for lunch."
Half an hour later, Liu Shishi rubbed her stomach and felt a little annoyed: "Oh, I shouldn't have eaten so much. Your company canteen is too delicious."
Girls always feel guilty after enjoying delicious food.
Especially in the entertainment industry, body management is a compulsory course for female stars.
"It's okay, just eat this meal, it's not a big problem."
"Then have another cone." Liu Shishi suddenly became cheerful.
"..."
Zhou Yutang was speechless.
The girl seemed to be born with two stomachs. She took an ice cream in the dessert area, and Liu Shishi's eyes were shining.
First, she gently licked the cone, and her face showed an expression of great enjoyment.
There was still some ice cream on her lips, which made Zhou Yutang stare.
Perhaps because of the strange look in his eyes, Liu Shishi blushed and gave him a slap. Not forgetting to share, she handed the ice cream to Zhou Yutang with her slender white hands.
Zhou Yutang was not polite either, biting off a small half, and was hit by Liu Shishi's little pink fist again.
Xiao Chen, who was also in the cafeteria, was full of dog food, but Ni Ni ignored it, as she had long been accustomed to this.
After a while of being cuddled, Zhou Yutang rested comfortably on Liu Shishi's thighs on the sofa bed in the office compartment.
While enjoying her gentle massage, I listened to her chattering about the trivialities of her recent life and work.
Some time ago, Liu Shishi first participated in the Rio Olympic torch relay, and then the fashion week, and had many overseas trips.
After returning, she started to prepare for the projects of "Bad Genius" and "Princess Agents", and also had to worry about the promotion platform of Tangren's upcoming TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Clouds of the World", and was extremely busy.
"I heard that the temperature difference there is quite large, don't forget to bring a coat when you go."
"The ski resort is also good, you can try it after watching the game."
Liu Shishi raised her fingers to count the next overseas trips, and she was indescribably happy.
Next, she will go to Switzerland with Zhou Yutang to watch Liverpool's Europa League final.
As the owner of the club, just like the head coach of the three armies, Zhou Yutang has decided to sit in the St. Jakob Park Stadium in Basel, Switzerland on the day of the final to witness the final battle of his team.
Last time, I took Liu Tianxian to watch a game at Anfield, and there was a big commotion. After returning, Liu Shishi was in a bad mood.
We must treat everyone equally.
This time, several teachers from Shanxia Academy gave Liu Tianxian the last special training before joining the group in the snow.
Zhou Yutang found an opportunity to take Liu Shishi to Europe to watch a game and take a vacation in Switzerland.
A few days in advance, he had received a series of travel guides from Liu Shishi, such as "The 10 most worthwhile places to visit in Switzerland, are you tempted?" and "The most beautiful towns in Switzerland that you can't miss."
At this time, Liu Shishi was still in high spirits and suddenly thought of something. He stopped kneading and asked, "Do you think I am suitable for playing Yang Yuhuan?"
"Should, maybe, maybe, okay..."
Zhou Yutang said insincerely.
"This is too forced."
Liu Shishi curled her lips, as if she was not satisfied with the answer.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, plumpness was beautiful.
If it is to be said that the one who meets Zhou Yutang's expectation of Yang Yuhuan among the four beauties, he would vote for Teacher Fan and Liu Tianxian.
Liu Shishi's ranking is not high.
Zhou Yutang turned his head and lingered on Liu Shishi's slender and flexible A4 waist with his fingers: "Yang Yuhuan is not suitable, we can try Xishi."
More than ten years of dance skills, what a gentle killing knife.
Although it can only be held in one hand, it is beautiful in shape, and it is expected that there is no need to worry about future children.
"You only know how to make me happy."
Liu Shishi took the initiative to kiss Zhou Yutang on the forehead with a proud mouth.
"Chen Shishi asked you to audition for "The Legend of the Demon Cat"?
"How do you know?"
"Since you asked so, it must be him."
Zhou Yutang smiled.
This year, Liu Shishi's status as the queen of the Academy Awards can sit at the table of the top female stars in the circle.
Top resources must be connected with top stars first.
It is not surprising that Chen Shishi's new play "The Legend of the Demon Cat" asked her to audition.
"Producer Chen has asked me."
Liu Shishi was quite calm, and continued to massage Zhou Yutang gently: "I also feel that I am not suitable."
"Rejected?"
"Yes, I have already told Chen Hong."
After following Zhou Yutang for so many years, Liu Shishi's vision and pattern have also been subtly opened up a lot.
As for the pie of "The Legend of the Demon Cat", since the news was released, it has set off a bloody storm in the circle, and the female stars of various companies have been fighting each other.
However, she didn't care about this kind of fairy resource at all, and she didn't feel sorry even if she gave it up.
After all, the god in her eyes was lying on her legs.
"A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" has been scheduled in theaters for several days and has continued to rise against the trend in box office. The cumulative total box office has already closed at 102 million.
As the heat faded, the scheduling of screenings gradually decreased.
Even if the theaters gave support, it was not unlimited support.
After all, everyone is trying to make money, so giving the film scheduling consideration in the short term is also a good intention.
Limited by the literary and artistic themes, its box office potential is still a bit low after all, and Maoyan estimates it to be 121 million.
As for "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter", the total box office has reached 927 million with difficulty, and the single-day box office has dropped to just over 3 million, which is also unsustainable.
On the eve of going abroad, Zhou Yutang did not forget to make work arrangements: "The publicity plan for "The Sword of the Assassin 2" can be promoted."
After the May Day holiday, it is the summer holiday, which is only a month away.
The Jiangdong private plane arrived in Basel, Switzerland.
The atmosphere of the Europa League final has gradually made the city lively.
Fans can be seen everywhere near the St. Jakob Park Stadium.
Red Army fans came from all directions, dyeing some of the stands of the St. Jakob Park Stadium into a sea of red.
When the Liverpool team song "You Will Never Walk Alone" resounded throughout the stadium.
Liu Shishi was holding hands with Zhou Yutang below.
She didn't understand football, but she understood the lyrics.
Looking at the cold and solemn expression of the man next to her, she couldn't help but feel a little excited and hummed along.
