China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 328: Fairy Beauty Trap, Just One Word

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

The film schedule was slashed for two consecutive days.

The daily box office plummeted to around [-] million.

Juli Pictures quickly issued an announcement, stating that this was a misunderstanding and that the temporary workers at the cinema made operational errors while working.

Young Master Yang also posted an apology on Weibo.

But apologizing at this point is of no use.

It's not that Han Sanping deliberately wanted to mess with him, but because "The Legend of White Snake" is indeed a puddle of mud that cannot be held up to the wall.

"Shi Shi, look, Huang Shengyi has been hacked so hard recently."

In the actors' rest area on the set of "The Traces of the Sky", Tang Yan was scrolling through the entertainment news on her phone and gossiping to Liu Shishi beside her.

"Let me see."

Liu Shishi took the phone, took a look at it, and was speechless: "Why is the rating so low?"

This movie was only released not long ago, and its Douban score is only 5.2. You can imagine how bad the reputation is.

"The Bai Suzhen in Zhao Yazhi and Wang Zhaoxian's version seems to have come down from heaven to the earth, and the Bai Suzhen in Huang Shengyi's version seems to have come from heaven to earth."

"Huang Shengyi really gave a true performance in "The Legend of White Snake", playing Bai Suzhen into a woman who has made a mistake."

"Destroying a classic, I don't understand why Jet Li would accept such a bad movie?"

There are a lot of comments on the Internet, almost all of which are negative.

Hu Ge also came to join in the fun: "Shi Shi, I remember, did you come to that drama back then?"

"Ah."

Liu Shishi nodded, feeling a little frightened.

At that time, Mr. Yang of Juli Pictures wanted to spend money to hire Zhou Yutang to play the role of Huang Shengyi. He also sent an invitation to Tang Dynasty. The price was very high and Liu Shishi was asked to play Xiao Qing.

Tang Dynasty itself did not have much film resources, and Juli Pictures was so hyped about the 1.8 million domestically produced epic fantasy blockbuster that it immediately knocked Cai Yinong out.

Liu Shishi was more cautious, asked Zhou Yutang about the script, and turned around and flatly refused.

Now it seems that Zhou Yutang made the right choice. If he really takes on this drama, his reputation will be as bad as that of Huang Shengyi.

"It's still your boss Zhou Niu."

Hu Ge lay on the recliner with his hands behind his head and said with a smile: "This year's National Day holiday, he only starred in the film "The Founding of the Party", and even starred in the main theme movie, which had such high box office, I have already covered it Several venues have allowed my fans to receive ideological baptism."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing what Hu Ge said was interesting, Liu Shishi laughed out loud without concealing it.

The laughter was quite hearty, and the assistant Taozi behind him couldn't help but sigh.

I'm fine wherever I go, but sometimes when I'm with my friends and talk about funny things, I forget to pay attention to maintaining a ladylike image.

"Old Hu, stop teasing me."

"I'm not kidding. Last night, I posted on Weibo, and Yu Tang even liked it."

"Shi Shi."

Tang Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Boss Zhou, what have you been busy with lately? It seems like you haven't participated in the promotion of this movie much, right?"

"He is busy doing the post-production of the movie. He has several more movies scheduled for the year after tomorrow."

Liu Shishi smiled gently and gently, with a bit of pride: "I really couldn't shirk it this time, so I participated in a few road shows in Beijing."

"Are you going to make "Xiu Chun Dao" next?"

Tang Yan's voice was filled with envy that he didn't even notice.

"The movie "Xiu Chun Knife" was directed by Lu Yang, and Yu Tang guest starred."

Liu Shishi shook his head slightly: "I remember that in addition to "Now You See Me", there is also an art film type movie."

"I already knew about the project "Now You See Me", how come he fell in love with making art films."

Tang Yan was so full of curiosity that she almost overflowed: "Are these two literary films intended to compete for awards?"

"I heard from Yu Tang that the movie "Now You See Me" is already in the preliminary preparations."

As his pillow partner, Liu Shishi certainly knew what Zhou Yutang was thinking: "Taking the time to make a few more literary films to practice my skills and make progress in practice is also to prepare for the future. As for whether he wins an award or not, he said it doesn't matter."

"I don't agree with the wall, so I will obey Boss Zhou."

"Lao Hu, do you have a main theme movie coming next month?"

Liu Shishi asked with a smile, and Tang Yan answered: "It's "Revolution of [-]," I guess. I read the news and it seems that there are Jackie Chan and Fan Binbin."

"Tangtang, this is Li Binbin."

Hu Ge nodded and laughed at himself: "It's rare that a movie is willing to invite me. I hope I can get good results by then."

Zhou Yutang met Huo Wenxi at Jiangdong Building.

She is still wearing a famous brand OL skirt and a pair of high heels, looking dashing and dashing.

However, this beautiful royal sister was even more haggard than the last time we met. Even with exquisite makeup, she could not hide the bags under her eyes.

As soon as they met, Huo Wenxi expressed his bitterness: "Ah Tang, this time Yinghuang was tricked by Lu Chuan, a street kid."

She only said these words and then sighed longly, but Zhou Yutang understood everything. He poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
  "Sister Mani, calm down."

The internal meeting of Yinghuang Group passed the decision to increase investment in film and television and made a 5 million film and television investment plan.

The purpose is to invest in five big-budget movies to strengthen the influence of Yinghuang Group. I don’t know what kind of ecstasy that Lu Chuan gave Boss Yang. This "The King's Feast" received Yinghuang's investment.

At that time, there was also "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" that was launched at the same time.

These two movies have the same theme and similar content.

Naturally, it is inevitable to be compared by outsiders.

It's just that "Hongmen Banquet" has been completed for some time, and Director Li is very ambitious and said that he can dominate the Lunar New Year movie.

The filming of Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast" has not yet finished. Not only that, he has finished the filming funds, and also requires additional investment from the producer.

One hundred million has been burned.

Yinghuang is controlled by Huo Wenxi, and another investor is Xingmei.

The boss of Xingmei couldn't bear it anymore and directly fired on Weibo: "Treat my politeness and tolerance as something you can deceive and deceive! Don't go too far! I'm considering withdrawing from a certain film completely. You can figure it out."

Large film and television companies generally don't just make one movie. Jiangdong Entertainment makes several movies at the same time.

SMI has also recently invested in four films, including Liu Weiqiang's "Blood Drops", Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast", Zhu Yanpin's "A New Couple" and Guan Hu's "Killing Life".

Although Qin Hong did not name him, many people analyzed that the person named by the grumpy boss was Lu Chuan.

"How can you not be angry?"

Huo Wenxi became more and more angry as he thought about it: "If we do this project according to his ideas, we alone will have to invest more than [-] million yuan."

The project has now cost [-] million yuan, and you still want to withdraw. This means that all the initial investment has been wasted. That is absolutely unacceptable.

I can only grit my teeth and go all the way to the dark side.

Soon, Lu Chuan got another sum of money.

His confidence has also greatly increased. When interviewed by the media, he said: "I am not an old filmmaker, nor do I have a monopoly on media resources like some people, covering the sky with one hand. I am just a young filmmaker who is confident that I can get The audience approves, so I will continue to do it.”

"Monopolizing resources and covering the sky with one hand, isn't it Zhou Yutang you're talking about?"

"I heard that Yang Zi from Juli Pictures offended Zhou Yutang, and he interfered with the filming schedule of "The Legend of White Snake."

"It's so funny. The movie sucks. Who's to blame? Zhou Yutang is not a theater owner, so he can still control the film schedule?"

"Zhou Yutang is a great evil person, and Lu Chuan is not a good person either."

"If you can make a film like "Nanjing", how do you develop it?"

Lu Chuan's interview aroused a lot of discussion on the Internet. Zhou Yutang was innocently shot while lying down.

To say that one hand covers the sky and monopolizes the media is indeed not that exaggerated.

However, he currently has a great say in several top variety shows in China.

He said a word.

There is no need to think about Lu Chuan's movie being promoted on a variety show. The National Day holiday is gradually coming to an end.

"The Founding of the Party" has been in theaters for 10 days, with a total box office of 2.79 million, continuing to lead the National Day season.

After all, the appeal of movies with the main theme is limited, and the daily box office continues to decline, falling to about [-] million in daily box office. If we want to make a difference at the box office, we must rely on government agencies to arrange ideological education
  As for "Painting on the Wall", the box office reached 10 million in the 1.86 days after its release. King Guangguang even booked a hotel for the celebration banquet.

The only one injured was probably Young Master Yang.

The collapse of the reputation of "The Legend of White Snake" has also reflected on the box office. After 10 days of release, the total box office was only 1.53 million, and there is no hope of recovering the cost.

Forget about the dismal box office performance.

Huang Shengyi was also wildly ridiculed by netizens from all walks of life.

Yang Gongzi's heart was on the verge of being broken. One night, he got drunk in a bar. When he came out and was followed by an entertainment reporter for filming and interviewing, he knocked the filming equipment out of the entertainment reporter's hand with a black face, which caused a lot of discussion on the Internet.

Zhou Yutang often goes to a private club in Beijing recently.

The security of this club is in place, the privacy is very good, and there are no paparazzi to follow you.

The club has specially set up a special SPA center, gym, luxury private cinema and other services. The service targets are mainly business elites and celebrities, and must be introduced by acquaintances.

After Zhou Yutang brought Liu Yifei here several times, she fell in love with this place.

I also brought Shu Chang with me that day.

Lying comfortably on the soft sofa, sipping milk tea and watching the new American TV series "American Horror Stories".

Liu Yifei loves watching horror movies.

When I was at home, I would watch secretly by myself in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep.

The key is that she has to watch and turn off the sound at the same time.

As soon as you see some critical and terrifying scenes, you immediately close your eyes and activate the fairy defense device.

However, today I roped in my best friend Shu Chang.

Liu Tianxian said that she was very brave and turned on the external sound to experience the luxurious audio in the private theater of this club.

Anyone who has watched American Horror knows this.

This American drama can make people's hair stand on end at times.

When Zhou Yutang first entered the door, he heard a high-decibel mixed moan coming from the room, which made his eardrums buzz.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

After closing the door, Shu Chang and Liu Yifei hugged each other and shivered, with frightened eyes, "Xiao Zhou, you make no sound when you walk."

Shu Chang patted his chest and said with a soothing tone: "That is to say, Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, I was almost scared to death by you just now."

As soon as he saw the terrifying scene on the screen, Zhou Yutang opened the door and came in.

Picking up the milk tea on the coffee table and taking a sip, Zhou Yutang lay comfortably on the sofa, crossing his legs and admiring it. His expression was quite calm: "The atmosphere of this new American drama is quite good."

With him joining in, the two girls gradually became more courageous and started chatting while eating popcorn.

"Wow, Sissi, this Violet is so beautiful."

"Taissa Farmiga seems to be the biological sister of the heroine of the movie "The Conjuring" that Xiao Zhou served as producer."

Liu Yifei glanced at Zhou Yutang, opened her red lips and smiled slightly.

"You know this as well?"

Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned. He really didn't know about this.

"Of course I know, that's a movie produced by Xiao Zhou."

Shu Chang deliberately imitated Liu Tianxian's tone of voice, with a bit of a coquettish voice.

"You're done, Changchang!"

Liu Tianxian's pretty face turned red, but he was not polite and immediately took action. Shu Changjiao smiled and begged for mercy, and the air was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Zhou Yutang glanced at it and placed his fingers together in front of his abdomen.

If you look closely, you will see that these two Hollywood sisters do look a bit alike, both are beautiful.

But compared to his sister, he prefers the temperament of his sister Vera Farmiga.

After playing around for a while, sipping milk tea and chatting, Zhou Yutang was texting with his head down when he heard Liu Tianxian ask: "Changchang, I heard that you went to audition for the "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"."

"Yeah, the second female lead, the good sister of the heroine Pearl."

"what's the result?"

"I do not know."

Shu Chang shook his head, hugged Liu Tianxian and said: "On the day of the audition, I saw Huo Siyan, Jiang Yiyan and several others there. They asked me to go back and wait for notification. Anyway, I feel that I don't have any confidence."

"Xiao Zhou, do you know?"

Liu Yifei blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Zhou Yutang's clear and cold profile.

"Murong Linzhi?"

Zhou Yutang stopped sending messages, turned off the screen, raised his head and asked.

"how do you know?"

Shu Chang was slightly stunned.

"I'm a producer on that show."

Zhou Yutang laughed softly, looking at the girl's expression and finding it quite interesting.

The copyright of this drama came from him. Zhou Yutang had many projects in hand, but he did not participate in the show. Zhu Yilong was recommended to play the leading actor Guangping Wang Lichu.

But Lu Zheng repeatedly invited him kindly, and he became the producer, art director, and literary planner, and got some share.

He probably knows the preparation progress of the entire drama, and the casting has not been decided yet.

"Xiao Zhou, do you think Changchang can succeed in the audition?"

Liu Tianxian suddenly leaned over, and a scent that resembled an orchid made Zhou Yutang's mind sway slightly, "I don't know about this, I'm not watching the casting."

"Then help Changchang ask."

Liu Yifei hugged one of his arms and shook it, feeling an indescribable soft and tender touch.

It's usually hard for Tianxian to be cute, but when he is cute, coupled with his gentle tone, his lethality is really strong.

It's just that this fairy's beauty trap was completely ruined by her wink.

She really doesn't know how to do this.
  A slight curve appeared at the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth, and he picked up his mobile phone and made a call: "Manager Fang, this is Zhou Yutang. How is the casting process going?"

"There is no rush to report. I want to ask, is Shu Chang among the candidates for the second female lead in this drama?"

With one arm held by Liu Tianxian, Zhou Yutang changed his hand to hold the mobile phone, "I think her image is quite suitable for that role. Do you think so too?"

Okay, that’s settled then.”

Within a few minutes, Shu Chang received a notification from the crew that he had passed the audition.

"Is it that simple?"

Shu Chang put down his phone and choked up.

His expression was a little unbelievable, and he felt like he was in a dream.

This is a TV series with a large investment of more than [-] million yuan.

It can be said that they are the two most popular costume dramas like "Jing Zhong Yue Fei".

With just one phone call, Zhou Yutang asked the crew to cast her as the second female lead, a role that countless female stars in the industry were competing for.

"correct."

Zhou Yutang turned his head and glanced at Shu Chang: "Classmate Shu Chang, what did you call me when I first came in?"

"Xiao Zhou. No, it's Mr. Zhou."

"My neck feels a little sore."

"I'll come, I'll come."

Shu Chang stood up instantly and walked behind Zhou Yutang. A smile instantly appeared on his pretty face, and he massaged him with his little hands:
  "Mr. Zhou, how do you feel? Is the strength suitable?"
