China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 340: Fishing for the Imperial Master with ease, the fairy line-up of "Bouquet"

Zhang Dapao has always been high-profile in his work.

It was he who took the lead in calling Han Sanping the nickname of the Sitting Mountain Eagle.

When he was working on "Golden Armor", he also criticized Zhou Runfa and threatened to ban him.

Even the directors of art films in the industry were criticized. Zhou Yutang had a fight with Chief Jia because of "Mr. Tree".

During a date for a drink, I personally heard Zhang Dapao say in a self-deprecating way, "Shut your mouth, talk less, and if you have the ability, let the audience watch his movies."

Yu Dong and Fatty also got sprayed a lot.

So this time Fatty Yu also got angry.

In this year's Lunar New Year film, "The Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" are two films that are head-on.

Zhang Dapao coerced the entire film production industry and forced the eight major theater chains. In the end, the distribution was changed and the minimum ticket price of "Thirteen Hairpins" was increased by 5 yuan.

Yu Fatty's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" took the initiative to lower the price. Zhang Dapao was very dissatisfied with this and threatened to ban Bona to prevent the audience from entering Bona Cinema to watch "Thirteen Hairpins".

A crazy word.

Throughout Zhang Dapao's life.

In the past, he and Zhang Yimou's golden partner dominated the domestic film market, but after "Three Guns", Zhou Yutang took over, and Guoshi sadly gave up his throne as the box office king.

Zhang Dapao is somewhat lacking in confidence now.

Therefore, the publicity strategy of using sex scenes as a gimmick was used.

Zhou Yutang has just won the Blue Dragon Award, and his investment in "Sister Tao" has won the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Film.

Jiangdong Entertainment is unparalleled in the limelight.

Entertainment reporters inevitably mentioned Zhou Yutang in front of Zhang Dapao and asked him how he felt.

Zhang Dapao said arrogantly: "To be honest, Zhou Yutang is still a little short of the mark when it comes to winning awards. How can the Blue Dragon Award compare to the Golden Bear and Golden Lion Awards? He will have to spend at least a few years in the film industry before talking about anything else!"

"Mr. Zhang, Zhou Yutang is the top commercial film director in China. He has set new box office records for Tianchao movies for several consecutive years."

This time, Zhang Dapao, who had always been tough-talking, was unusually soft-spoken: "Whether you admit it or not, this is a fact. I don't want to avoid this issue. This young man has a good way of making commercial films."

"Now, my biggest rival in China is no longer Feng Xiaogang, but Zhou Yutang."

"However, let me be conservative. This time, my ambition for "Thirteen Hairpins" is to surpass the Chinese box office of "Avatar" and win over Zhou Yutang. It shouldn't be a problem!"

Zhang Dapao clarified his misunderstanding with Zhang Yimou in front of the media.

It means that the relationship between the two is still close.

However, Zhou Yutang asked Li Shuang to lead the way and secretly met with the Imperial Master.

Not long ago, he was almost tricked by Zhang Dapao. Although the final result was good, Zhou Yutang still wrote him down in his notebook.

He and the Imperial Master are also acquaintances in the industry, and they often see each other.

After meeting in this private club.

The two shook hands and hugged each other, patted each other's shoulders familiarly, and exchanged a few simple polite words. Zhou Yutang got straight to the point: "Director Zhang, I have a notebook here, and I would like to ask you to help me read it."

"Let me see."

Zhang Yimou was really interested.

Zhou Yutang is now the top gold medal screenwriter in the industry.

All scripts written by him have received great reviews.

After taking the script handed over by Zhou Yutang and reading it, Zhang Yimou was immediately immersed in it. He supported his chin with his hand and frowned. He read it for more than half an hour before he slowly breathed out: "This script , it’s very deep, and if it’s done well, there’s hope for prizes.”

As a major director with domestic Golden Lions and Golden Bears, Guo Shi has decades of skill and there is no doubt about his sensitivity towards this type of award-winning films.

"I just made a literary film of the same type this year, and now I can't spare the time to make this one."

Zhou Yutang raised the teacup, took a sip, and suddenly changed his tone: "Director Zhang, the contract between your studio and New Picture will expire next year, right?"

"Ah."

The Imperial Master was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"What are your plans then?"

"Right now, it's unclear."

Zhang Yimou smiled bitterly, shook his head and rubbed his forehead.

He has been friends with Zhang Weiping for decades, and he is used to leaving business matters to Zhang Weiping for management and operation, while he is only responsible for making movies.

It is very difficult for couples who have been dating for several years to break up, but it is not that simple for two people to separate.

Zhou Yutang knew that the time was not right yet, but he still extended an olive branch to Guoshi first: "Jiangdong Entertainment's film business will be spun off soon. If there is an opportunity, I hope to start follow-up cooperation with Director Zhang's studio. "

After a pause, his tone was quite sincere: "Director Zhang, you know that I am also a director, and I will never allow anyone to interfere in film creation."

When many couples quarrel and break up, it is often easy for a third party to intervene.

It was this opportunity that Zhou Yutang seized. Unfortunately, he had mastered the art of painting pancakes to a very high level, and the imperial master was not a fool either.

Although he felt very moved after weighing the pros and cons, he did not agree immediately. He only said: "Let's do it, Yu Tang. No matter what, I will give you an accurate answer no later than next year."

"Then I'll wait for the good news."

The brief meeting ended quickly. Zhou Yutang reviewed the game and felt happy.

I returned to the office, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of wine from my collection.

"Why is the champagne even opened?"

Li Shuang came in, sat on the sofa, and asked, "What did the Imperial Master say?"

"I didn't say yes, but I think there's a good chance."

Zhou Yutang poured Li Shuang a glass of wine and sank comfortably into the boss's chair: "Sister Shuang, I heard that the National Master didn't even get the box office share and director's fee for "Three Guns"."

"How much does this cost?"

"Probably just a few million."

"Is Zhang Dapao crazy?"

Li Shuang was also stunned: "You are not willing to give me this little money. Are you really treating the Imperial Master as a wage earner?"

After thinking about it, Li Shuang also smiled.

He raised his glass and clinked it with Zhou Yutang.

The more outrageous Zhang Dapao is, the better.

Jiangdong Entertainment's film business will soon be split up, and apart from Zhou Yutang, only Xue Xiaolu will be able to handle it.

However, Teacher Xue still has to teach at Nortel, and his time is limited. The remaining younger generation, such as Wen Muye, Lu Yang, and Guo Fan, are still relatively young.

If you take this step casually, you can catch the big fish of the Imperial Master.

Then take the combination of Zhou Yutang and the national teacher. There is no doubt that it can build the brand of the new company and firmly establish itself as a first-tier film production company in the industry.

As long as Zhang Dapao falls, Zhou Yutang will be full.

Zhou Yutang held a simple meeting at the company.

First, the publicity plan for "囧囧" was implemented.

This movie continues the comedy style of last year's "Unfortunately" and is still aimed at the Lunar New Year.

It's just that with the success of "Journey to the Road", "囧囧" has already attracted countless attention from the outside world before it even started promoting it.

Guangtou Xu, the director and starring actor, also came to attend the meeting.

It was obvious that he was in a hurry.

I can't wait to press the fast-forward button and let the time go forward directly, and the movie will be released directly tomorrow.

"The schedules of "Borderland", "Rescue Mr. My Life", and "Search" will be decided after I go to China Film Studio to watch them next month."

Zhou Yutang pointed to the ppt that his assistant Mao Xiaoyu stayed up late to work on, and continued: "In the first half of next year, the company's youth romance film project has been decided. Two films, "Introduction to Architecture" and "Love Like a Bouquet", will be followed by " "Now You See Me", this movie takes a long time to prepare, so the casting needs to be done slowly."

Lin Xiong stood up and asked, "Mr. Zhou, don't you want to perform "Introduction to Architecture"?"

"I won't act in this play."

Zhou Yutang chuckled softly and said: "Heroine, I promised others not to publicize it first."

In the drama "Introduction to Architecture", the young male protagonist's role is not outstanding, and basically all the spotlight is focused on the female protagonist.

Everyone in the film department in the conference room looked at the ppt on the projector.

It's like taking a shot of chicken blood, and the spirit is high.

Youth romance films are the foundation of Jiangdong Entertainment.

When Zhou Yutang debuted, he was known as the crown prince of youth films. The two books in his hands were followed by countless people inside and outside the industry.

Many film companies spent a lot of money to buy the scripts, but Zhou Yutang never nodded. There are also many fans who are eager for Zhou Yutang to make these two stories into movies and put them on the big screen.

really.

Jiangdong Entertainment’s official website announced its recent film plans.

Many viewers have seen the registration information of these two movies.

"Introduction to Architecture", director to be determined, starring to be determined.

The director and screenwriter of "Love Like a Bouquet" are both Zhou Yutang.

Starring, Zhou Yutang, Liu Yifei.

When the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation.

This news is not only all over the domestic Internet, but also caused a lot of repercussions in Neon, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.

"Tears! In my lifetime, I can finally wait for Zhou Yutang to return to romance movies!"

"Zhou Yutang + Liu Yifei, what kind of magical lineup is this? The movie has not been filmed, but I have already started to laugh."

""Love Like a Bouquet", I have read the original novel, it is a super touching story."

You know, the original "My Love from the Star" was very popular in Asia, and it still has countless fans.

Zhou Yutang is well-known as a great director of commercial films in the Chinese dynasty. This pair of stars and super CPs teamed up again, which quickly whetted the audience's appetite.

The original novel "Introduction to Architecture" is also very popular on the Internet, and it also has many fans.

Only Zhou Yutang, who is at the height of his power, can create a huge earthquake in the film and television industry just after the project is approved, without having to issue a press release.

Many film companies in the industry are worried.

Zhou Yutang's romance film can be said to be the best.

They all want to raise their profile as soon as possible to avoid running into Zhou Yutang in the second half of next year.

"Brother Yu Tang, won't you act in "Introduction to Architecture"?"

Jing Tian hesitated for a moment, then asked.

"Sorry, Tiantian."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "My schedule next year is very full and I really can't spare the time. If you act well in this drama, it will definitely become a hit."

"Ok!"

Jing Tian still thanked you sweetly: "I still want to thank you, Brother Yu Tang."

"Xiaoping, go talk to Yu Tang."

Guangguang CEO Wang Changtian found Li Xiaoping immediately and said excitedly: "For this drama, I only need a part of the investment share. I can give you whatever publicity resources you can!"

"Mr. Wang, okay."

Many actors who are familiar with each other in the industry also called to inquire about the casting.

Yang Mi wanted to make progress so much that she sent a message the same night she got the news.

"Mimi, are you going to test your boss on this?"

Zhou Yutang zoomed in and took a closer look at Yang Mi's looming black lace nightgown, then clicked to save it. He said righteously: "I deleted the photo. Do you think your boss can't stand such a test?"

"Boss, what do you think?"

Yang Mi's voice was sweeter than honey: "Am I suitable to play the heroine of "Introduction to Architecture"?"

She also knew that "Bouquet" belonged to Liu Yifei and was definitely hopeless, but "Introduction to Architecture" was not bad either.

"The heroine of this movie has already been decided."

"Who is it? Shi Shi?"

"Not Shishi."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "It's Jingtian. I owe you a favor. The company has other arrangements for your film and television resources next year."

"It's sweet."

Yang Mi's voice was a little surprised.

"Are you familiar with Jingtian?"

"When I was on Running Man, I got along pretty well with Tiantian. We chatted often."

"."

Zhou Yutang discovered Yang Mi's extraordinary qualities.

He is simply a popular figure in the entertainment industry.

As long as you can play with her, they are basically very popular.
