China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 453: Once she becomes famous, she will be known all over the world. Give her dignity

If we talk about the Internet slang that has become popular recently, it is probably the sentence that a CCTV reporter asked a migrant worker in the special investigative program "Voices from the Grassroots": "Are you happy?"

The uncle replied blankly and calmly: "My surname is Zeng."

God’s reply instantly became popular on the Internet.

When Zhou Yiwei saw this sentence, he felt it was both funny and a little sad.

Then he felt sorry for himself.

He is also from the bottom of the entertainment industry.

I really miss the days when I spent a few dollars buying sesame cakes with Zhang Songwen.

I also dreamed that one day I could be like my good friend Zhang Songwen and become famous all over the country overnight.

It’s just that nine times out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory.

He still submitted his resume silently, because he had the experience of playing a supporting role in "Insidious", so he didn't have to worry about not having any acting roles in these years.

Today's brave generals are tearing apart Japs, and tomorrow they will be courting young losers.

When he has a job, he acts, and when he doesn't, he lives a good life. He also works part-time as a teaching assistant at Nortel.

The male fan said shyly: "I think you are super handsome, just a little bit worse than Zhou Yutang."

"."

Calls and messages from relatives and friends in real life flooded in.

"."

The price is more than ten times the original price.

"what?"

In fact, after Zhou Yutang said these words, as the movie's box office surged and its reputation continued to grow, he soon experienced firsthand what it felt like to become famous overnight.

Zhou Yiwei twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and explained patiently: "Actually, it is set in the script that Ding Xiu killed the old Chinese medicine doctor at the medical school for a reason, because the old Chinese medicine doctor at the medical school had been tampering with his junior brother's medicine. So his tuberculosis never got better."

"Thank you Brother Run, I won't smoke."

Zhou Yiwei remembers clearly what Zhou Yutang said to him at the movie premiere.

"Someone will know your name soon."

"I get it, but that girl is really wet."

"Director Lu Yang revealed that Xiu Chun Dao's martial arts ceiling is Ding Xiu!"

Zhou Yiwei didn't know what to say, but he felt it was rare to meet his fans, so he handed the cigarette to him: "Do you smoke?"

Things changed after this year’s National Day.

For the first time in his life, he became a hot search on Weibo. During the release of the movie, his number of fans increased by tens of thousands. Netizens even gave him the nickname "Jia Qian Jushi".

"This girl is very smooth."

Zhou Yiwei shook his head and laughed: "Although we are both named Zhou, I am far behind Director Zhou."

The boy said in a very excited tone: "You did a great job, but I have a question for you. Does Ding Xiu have someone that his junior brother likes, that is, the girl from the medical clinic?"

It was just the question he asked that made Zhou Yiwei a little embarrassed.

"Strictly speaking, Ding Xiu is indeed not a good person."

"."

"Can I take a photo with you?"

"Those are my beloved relatives and friends, brothers and sisters. I have to pay more."

"What I want is a sense of both good and evil. You did a great job, especially when you kill the Tatar cavalry at the end. It was so enjoyable to watch."

"You'll definitely be on fire."

The first time Zhou Yiwei felt that he had fans was when he was buying cigarettes at a convenience store during a movie roadshow and was recognized by a customer in the store.

However, due to his personal image and temperament, Zhou Yiwei plays conscientious supporting roles in various production crews most of the time.

"Jiaqianjiji, is that you?"

Actors who are not popular are actually not much different from ordinary people.

"Ding Xiu in Xiuchundao, that's what everyone on the Internet calls you."

"of course can."

I just received a call from my agent, saying that I have several endorsements and commercials coming to my door, as well as invitations from several variety shows.

"Thank you."

soon.

After all, a movie has limited space and cannot show all the plot details.

But there is an advantage to not being famous, that is, if you don’t wear a mask, no one will recognize you when you go to the vegetable market to buy food.

And all this.

The male fan sounded regretful: "I guess her name is Zhang Tianai, she's really beautiful."

Zhang Songwen was the first to call: "Congratulations, Yiwei."

These are good brothers who share the same sorrow. Zhou Yiwei was sincerely grateful: "Thank you, Song Wen."

If it weren't for Zhang Songwen's strings, he wouldn't have had the chance to stand in front of Zhou Yutang, and naturally he wouldn't be as good as Jiaqian Jushi.

Zhang Songwen smiled and said: "I just mentioned it casually at the time. It was Yu Tang who took a fancy to you and it was you who played well."

"Are you still busy over there?"

"I'm busy. I'm still here in Xiamen. I shot the night scene last night until after 2 o'clock. I almost fell asleep after eating in the morning. When the filming here is completed, I have to join the group again. Are you still on the road show?"

"In Chengdu with Director Lu Yang."

"Come on, it will get better."

"Ah."

Zhang Songwen was such a warm friend. Zhou Yiwei hung up the phone silently, and more calls came in one after another.

They are all directors, producers, and some friends in the industry who I shamelessly added to the crew before.

Some of them used to have a condescending attitude, but now they came to him and became familiar with him, as if they were old friends who had been dating for decades.

Some friends also call him Brother Xiu, and some directly call him Jiaqian layman as if joking.

Zhou Yiwei had never realized that he had so many good friends around him.

Compared with Zhou Yiwei, who had been a sidekick for several years and no one asked about it, once he added money, the world would know about it.

Liu Shishi is on a very steady path, and she is already the most popular and popular actress in the industry.

Fans all know that Yijie has filmed many costume dramas and also has many dance scenes.

For example, Xin Shiniang in the original "Liao Zhai Qi Nu", such as Ta Ba Yu'er in "Xuanyuan Sword", and even Ruoxi in "Step by Step Jingxin".

With more than ten years of dancing skills, every dance move is beautiful.

But in "Xiu Chun Dao", Liu Shishi dances for Zhou Yutang in the snow, which is more artistic than all the previous dances.

"Liu Shishi is so beautiful and her acting skills have improved a lot. Zhou Yutang really knows how to train actresses."

"The word "perfect match" means I will say it once.

"Liu Shishi's temperament is really amazing, I really love her so much, I have become a fan of her."

"When I saw that part in the cinema, I got goosebumps all over my body."

The movie's Ding Xiu made Zhou Yiwei instantly popular, and Liu Shishi also received a lot of praise after being modified and added to the role by Zhou Yutang.

Especially the moment when she died in Zhou Yutang's arms, the moment when the two looked at each other, even the eye scene, which was admittedly insufficient, seemed extremely spiritual.

There seems to be endless affection and endless sadness, which has left countless viewers heartbroken.

Liu Shishi dancing in the snow.

Like a beautiful goddess with a cold and broken atmosphere.

"I'm glad that the audience likes this movie. I didn't expect it to be so strong at the box office."

When Director Lu Yang was interviewed during the road show, he was happy but still remained humble.

Logically speaking, it is difficult not to lose yourself in the flowers and applause when you can achieve such results, but thinking about Zhou Yutang, a monster, with two billion-dollar box office movies suppressing everything, Lu Yang's slightly impetuous heart calmed down.

The reporter smiled and asked: "Director Lu, I believe everyone is curious, how was Shi Shixue's scene filmed?"

"Director Zhou gave me a lot of advice on that scene."

Lu Yang laughed and said, "He pays great attention to details. When filming this scene in the snow, he had to dance dozens of times and spent several days just for one shot. But judging from the results, Director Zhou was very strict." The requirements will undoubtedly greatly improve the quality of the entire movie."

"No one can beat Liu Shishi dancing in the snow."

The female reporter was convinced.

"I followed Director Zhou and learned a lot. I am grateful to Director Zhou for giving me this opportunity. The original budget of the film was 40 million, but it went over budget while filming. It was increased to 50 million. Director Zhou was very happy to make money. Without him There would be no such movie.”

Lu Yang made no secret of his admiration for Zhou Yutang.

"Is there a sequel to Xiuchundao?"

"Of course, I just talked with Director Zhou last night and I'm sure there will be "Xiu Chun Dao 2"."

"."

Last month, Wen Muye just fought against four imported blockbusters. The final box office of "Rescue Mr. Me" was 2.78 million, only slightly behind the great director Nolan's "Batman 3" and "The Amazing Spider-Man", and it was stuck behind "Prodigy". The upward path of "Methos" and "The Expendables 2".

Lu Yang swept through the National Day event with a knife, and his performance was equally impressive, and he became famous from this battle.

After the National Day holiday, workers began to return to work, and the number of moviegoers inevitably dropped.

""Xiuchundao" has been in theaters for ten days, with a box office revenue of 3.98 million, breaking the box office record for martial arts movies set by "Sword Rain"!"

"The total box office of "Tai Chi 1" was 7843 million. Feng Shaofeng and Yang Ying got drunk at the bar. Both box office and reputation were disappointed!"

"The daily box office of "Dangerous Liaisons" has dropped to 135 million. Zhang Ziyi's high salary may become a burden, and she refuses media interviews with a black face."

""Second Exposure" became a dark horse during the National Day holiday. It grossed 9 million at the box office in nine days of release, surpassing the previous box office record of director Li Yu's film "Guanyin Mountain"!"

The film information during the National Day holiday is basically "Xiu Chun Dao", and the Internet is full of various interviews with the crew.

"Yu Tang, when will "Xiu Chun Knife 2" be produced?"

Han Sanping came to Jiangdong Entertainment to review the post-production progress of "Now You See Me". When he went to the office to sit and drink tea, Zhou Yutang received calls from Wanda Ye Ning and Guangwang Changtian. This was the issue they were most concerned about at the moment. .

"The script is still being worked on, let's wait until next year."

Zhou Yutang exchanged a few casual greetings, raised his teacup, and took a sip.

Although the National Day holiday has ended, Maoyan predicts that the box office of Xiuchundao will be more than 5.5 million, which can be regarded as the most profitable top project in the industry.

Just like Hollywood, sequel plans are started when a movie project is approved. As long as it can make money, it will be arranged immediately.

Huayi is very knowledgeable, but the quality of the project is not very good. One "If You Are the One" can be filmed for more than ten years, and it captures the sunset love between Ge You and Shu Qi.

It is unrealistic to think that you can be alone in the entertainment industry.

For the project "Embroidered Spring Knife", Jiangdong Entertainment only took 40% of the share, while China Film, Shanghai Film, Enlight, and Wanda all had shares in the rest.

“There’s a lot to be done for the Golden Horse Awards next month.”

"It's mainly because of Mr. Han's good guidance."

"Haha, you kid."

Han Sanping pointed his finger, but he was in a very happy mood. Seeing that there was not much tea in his cup, he poured another cup for Zhou Yutang with a kind smile.

Pour the tea only 70% full, leaving 30% is a favor.

It's not easy for someone like him to achieve results at a young age, but it's even more rare to achieve results without being conceited. Sometimes when chatting with Zhou Yutang, Han Sanping felt like he was dealing with a veteran of his own generation.

Who doesn’t like to get along with this young man who is good-looking, well-spoken and sensible?

The second half of the year in the entertainment industry is the busy awards season.

Following Baihua, the 49th Golden Horse Awards announced the shortlist in early October and presented the awards in November.

Zhou Yutang's two films, "Search" and "Bouquet of Love", received a total of twelve nominations, leading all opponents.

In comparison, Lou Huohua's "The Mystery of the Floating City" was slightly less impressive with six nominations, and "Hunter Chang", "Killing Life" and "The King" were even more bleak.

Zhou Yutang was once again nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, and was also nominated for Best Director.

The entire entertainment industry was shocked.

"First pick the Hundred Flowers Award, then the Golden Horse. I am the only hero in the world, the Governor of Jiangdong."

"It has to be Zhou Yutang, just one word, amazing."

"I want to laugh when I see those guys in the domestic entertainment industry fighting for the top spot every day. Look at Zhou Yutang."

"Oh my god, Liu Yifei can actually be nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actress."

"Upstairs, Liu Shishi won the Golden Horse Best Actress nomination when she debuted."

"My mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the news."

Everyone in the industry is already envious of Ma. Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, which turns out to be just an appetizer. Xiu Chun Dao's killing spree in the movie market is also a prelude.

The Golden Horse Award, one of the three gold medals, is considered a very valuable award in China.

However, Zhou Yutang was relatively calm about this.

He is not a fool. The longer he has been in this circle, the more he understands the essence of award ceremonies.

Even the Oscars are the same. Good film quality is one thing, but public relations is also important.

"It seems that I have to go to the United States to find an opportunity."

Zhou Yutang muttered as he replied to Zou Zhongyan's email.

I basically don’t have much hope for “Search” to win an Oscar, but I have a project to work with there, so I might as well try it out first.

The master's recent post-production work has to be temporarily put on hold. As a prominent figure in Chinese films, he was invited to attend the opening ceremony of Asan's important Mumbai Film Festival.

The Asan Film Association awarded Lao Mouzi the Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his contribution in leading Asian films to the world.

Zhou Yutang, as a leader of the younger generation of Chinese films, was also invited, but declined.

When he was talking about the experience of the old master, he still made a joke: "Director Zhang, have you been there?"

"I have met Director Ah San abroad before, and this is my first time."

"Asan's food is clean and hygienic, you are lucky."

"."

"Hi, dear Zhou, I'm very happy to see your handsome face again."

When the video was connected, what appeared in front of Zhou Yutang was old man Bob's big, red-necked face.

"Bob, you look at least ten years younger."

"That hot chick said the same thing last night. I've regained the passion I had when I was young."

Bob opened his arms and laughed loudly: "Your share has been paid. It's a big sum."

"I don't worry about your work."

The corners of Zhou Yutang's mouth curved softly.

"Of course, you can trust me like Mr. Zou."

The old man Bob plays the emotional card and wants to get closer to each other.

The North American box office of "The Purge" exceeded 3.52 million, and the final global box office of "The Conjuring" reached million.

These two consecutive movies were a small box office miracle, making Zhou Yutang earn a lot of money, and at the same time, he also really made a name for himself in Hollywood.

At the same time, it also gave Bob, the old man, a real taste of the sweetness.

The current mainstream approach in Hollywood is that box office sharing is only part of the profit.

The remaining profit points are some back-end income, such as DVD sales income, pay TV income, movie peripheral income, etc.

Zhou Yutang has created huge benefits that even the Big Six in Hollywood are jealous of, making this bad old man pay more attention to Zhou Yutang than his son.

I sent congratulations when "Bouquet" created the myth of romance movies. Now that "Xiuchungdao" is a box office hit, I sent a rainbow fart: "Hey, Zhou, you are really the most amazing genius I have ever seen. "Xiu Chun Knife" is a wonderful movie. I think you are the next Ang Lee. Of course you are much richer than him. When your company in China goes public, you will be the Oriental entertainment tycoon of this century."

Listening to him say the word "Xiuchundao" in Chinese with a weird accent, it felt inconsistent no matter how I heard it.

Zhou Yutang did not lose himself in the compliments, and said with some humor: "Bob, let's get down to business."

"Okee Okee."

Bob grinned: "Two good news, "Human Purge 2" and "Annabelle" have been approved."

"The former was left to James, and "Annabelle" was left to that old guy John."

"Also, Warner has let go of the Joker rights you want. When do you plan to do it?"

"Wait a little longer, I have a lot of projects in hand right now."

"Well, you don't know, those idiots from Warner only know how to fight among themselves and play bitch. They didn't take this matter to heart at all. Instead, they laughed at me for being stupid and said that this project could never succeed..."

Old people who have entered menopause like to chatter endlessly when they want to complain.

Watching Bob keep spitting out fragrance, Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "Sooner or later, we will let them understand who is the clown."

"Yes, I fully believe you have this ability."

The National Day holiday is over, and various breakups have begun in the entertainment industry.

First, the Hong Kong model Le Jier exposed her boat photos, and the king Li Ming sadly left the sad place of Hong Kong and returned to the capital to heal his wounds. Then he officially announced their breakup, causing an uproar.

When Li Tianwang was young, he was very popular and fascinated Japanese and Korean goddesses. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was popular all over Asia.

It's a pity that in the end, he couldn't avoid being hurt by love.

Even worse than King Li is Master Xing.

After she broke up with Yu Wenfeng, whom she had been dating for thirteen years, his girlfriend took him to court to recover nearly 100 million yuan in debt.

That woman was very capable. When the two were together, she also served as Mr. Xing's personal financial advisor, using her connections to help Mr. Xing manage his assets.

When they were deeply in love, Master Xing verbally agreed to pay her 10% of the profit after tax for each profitable investment as a commission.

How sweet and loving we were at the beginning, but how ugly it was when we were separated.

Men still have to rely on themselves.

Zhou Yutang decided to take the two seniors as a lesson, secretly reflect on himself, and then went to China Film and Television: "Mr. Han, I heard that Master Xing sold his equity in "Journey to the West"?"

"Your news is really good, that's what happened."

Han Sanping chuckled and said, "Don't worry about this plate. It has been taken over by Tianchao Culture Communication Group."

"I just asked casually."

Zhou Yutang understood instantly.

There are so many people staring at this piece of fat.

office.

Ni Ni, who was wearing a professional skirt, came over with a pile of documents and asked, "Mr. Zhou, Director Ha Wen sent me an invitation letter for this year's Spring Festival Gala."

"Push it for me."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and asked casually: "Who are we here this year?"

"Li Yao, Zhang Ruojun, Happy Mahua and Liu Shishi, as well as the others from The Voice, I have all made forms."

"Deng Ziqi, Jin Zhiwen, Jike Junyi."

After glancing at the directory compiled by Ni Ni, Zhou Yutang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly sat up from lying in the boss's chair and asked: "This Qu Wuting, has also received an invitation?"

"Ah."

Ni Ni leaned over and brought a nice scent: "Qu Wuting is very popular this year, don't you know, Mr. Zhou?"

"Didn't pay much attention."

Zhou Yutang frowned.

The Voice has been operating for several years, and once it gets on the right track, he doesn’t need to watch over it.

"The song she sang was "In My Singing" that you wrote for Deng Ziqi, and she even said she was your fan."

The Voice has been running for several years. Because the show has always focused on word-of-mouth, although the ratings have dropped somewhat, it is still the undisputed number one music talent show variety show.

Almost all singers who appear on the stage of The Voice label themselves as Jiangdong Navy.

There is a joke on the Internet that Zhou Yutang is the "principal" of the Whampoa Military Academy of Music, and all the singers who debuted on The Voice are his disciples.

Some of them are real fans, and some are just pretending.

After all, Zhou Yutang is the most popular celebrity in domestic entertainment. Just mentioning him will attract traffic, and he is also the big boss behind the scenes. Being his fan may give him extra points with his mentor.

Ni Ni felt that Zhou Yutang's expression was a little strange, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Zhou Yutang looked solemn, shook his head slightly, then picked up his phone and called Tian Ming.

"Brother Ming, this year The Voice has made a comeback. How is your family background?"

"Why, did you find it?"

Tian Ming smiled and said: "I have some connections in my family. When I was participating in the show, I asked someone to deliver the message. I bought her daughter with 20 million to guarantee the championship."

"Why are you so rich?"

"The old woman from the north said that her family runs a big business, so I'll give you some advice. Anyway, she sounded very arrogant. She opened her mouth and said that money is not an issue. All she wants is the dignity to support her daughter. If you can If you write songs for her daughter, you can make more money.”

"How much?"

"Are you excited if we increase it to 30 million?"

Tian Ming also smiled: "Yu Tang, all the monsters and monsters want to eat your traffic."

He has been doing variety shows for so many years and has encountered this kind of thing.

Those who have money and connections want to take shortcuts.

Twenty million is a very big number, but as long as you can win the title of The Voice, catch up with the Governor of Jiangdong, and become famous in the entertainment industry, you may not be able to recover the cost.

Tian Ming has also seen the world.

He and Zhou Yutang made it clear that they wanted to follow the royal path and make The Voice a national variety show. The explosive ratings and overseas copyrights of this variety show also brought unimaginable benefits to Mingjie Company, so naturally they looked down upon the money. .

Therefore, Qu was eliminated in the middle of the show, and the one who defeated her was this year's champion Yao Beina.

"Tsk, tsk, you are rich and powerful."

"Yu Tang, your tone sounds like there's something wrong?"

Listening to Zhou Yutang's tone, Tian Ming gradually realized that something was not right.

"no problem."

Zhou Yutang's lips curled up, and a sneer appeared: "It's not about being dignified when riding a horse, so give her some dignity."
