Chapter 547 Red Rose and White Moonlight, Art Exam Examiner
After Zhang Yimou joined Jiangdong, his career took off and became a hot topic in the industry.
At the same time, the Berlin Film Festival also made an official announcement.
The film "Black Coal, Thin Ice" directed by young director Diao Yinan was shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's Berlin International Film Festival.
This is a film invested by Xingfu Blue Ocean Films, which has the shadow of Jiangsu capital behind it and is also somewhat related to Zhou Ningfeng.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and good things are coming one after another.
The film and television industry is very happy.
This year, Chinese films have been nominated for Oscars and the three major European awards, which is really exciting.
Some experts in the film and television industry analyzed: "In recent years, Zhou Yutang's strong rise has triggered a catfish effect, driving and promoting the innovation process of the entire Chinese film market, making the entire market flourish and prosper."
Experts rarely speak the truth.
To a certain extent, Zhou Yutang has indeed driven the entire film market to grow gradually.
Just like this year's Lunar New Year holiday, "Charlotte's Troubles" was released for 22 days, and the total box office has exceeded 1.298 billion, successfully ranking third in the mainland Chinese film box office rankings.
Moreover,
There is still a lot of potential to be tapped.
As the sole producer, Zhou Yutang signed a box office betting contract with the cinema. If the box office exceeds 1 billion, he will enjoy a 45% share.
Seeing how much money he makes, many people are salivating and naturally rushing into the market.
The entire film and television industry is like a thousand horses in silence. Some people are eating with their mouths full of oil, while others are losing a lot.
But overall, the influx of funds has also made the entire entertainment industry more prosperous than the original time and space.
"Charlotte's Troubles" did not apply for an extension key, but Huayi submitted an application to the Film Bureau first.
When Zhou Yutang received the news from La Peikang, he felt a little funny: "This eating is too ugly."
At present, the box office of "Private Customization" has dropped to less than one million per day, and Huayi is still thinking about cutting the last batch of leeks.
The result is conceivable, and it was directly beaten back.
…………………………
This day, the genius came out of Guangguang Building after appearing on Guangguang’s variety show with the creators of “Mojin: The Lost Legend”.
Zhou Yutang and Reba were in the car, showing affection.
They were going to separate soon, so it was inevitable that they would be reluctant to say goodbye.
After about 10 minutes, he walked out of the car.
Reba rolled down the window, revealing her beautiful face with exotic style, her eyes were shy and resentful, and seemed to be able to pull out thin threads.
Near the end of the year, Reba’s schedule was very tight. Before she started the roadshow promotion of “Mojin: The Lost Legend”, she had two business announcements to catch up.
Zhou Yutang was also very busy.
Putting aside time management, he has recently put all his energy into the post-production of “Red Ling”.
On the way back to the company, Ni Ni, who was sitting next to him, said, "Boss, uncle and auntie picked him up."
"Picked him up?"
"Yes, they took him to Base No. 1."
"."
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly, and he said seriously, "Let's go to the company first."
The driver started the car and drove slowly towards the company. Zhou Yutang called Ms. Wang Fengqin in the car.
This year, he will be doing a movie road show. When he airdrops all over the country, he will definitely not be able to go home for the New Year in peace.
Wang Fengqin took Comrade Zhou to Beijing.
In her words, the family is together for the New Year. It happened that grandma's health was still good, so there was no worry.
Zhou Yutang originally wanted to let a private plane pick him up. Ms. Wang Fengqin was very tempted at first. She had been on a plane, but she had never been on her son's private plane. It was a bit novel.
But when she heard that a flight cost hundreds of thousands, the Queen Mother Wang, who was now worth a lot of money, felt distressed.
Saving is a habit that has been precipitated over the years.
Wang Fengqin never spends money recklessly. She bought tickets with Zhou Zhengping and went to Beijing quietly. She only told Zhou Yutang before boarding the plane.
"The Queen Mother Wang is really a hard-working person."
Zhou Yutang hung up the phone after being taught a lesson and muttered.
As soon as she got home, she prepared to clean up according to the family's customs. How long would she have to toss such a big villa?
In fact, the housekeeping company cleans the house regularly, and Wang Fengqin is simply too busy.
"Auntie is doing a big business now."
Ni Ni smiled.
Wang Fengqin's Yu Sheng Clothing, backed by Jiangdong Entertainment, has developed rapidly and has become the mainstream aesthetic of young people in recent years.
The sweet school beauty suit in "Introduction to Architecture" and the clothes of the leading actors in this year's hit "Why Sheng Xiaomo" are all sponsored by Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng does not do high-end, but specializes in the affordable clothing market, and has made a lot of money for several consecutive years.
The company focuses on women's clothing, with new styles every season, and Ni Ni has contributed a lot.
In her words, there is always a piece of clothing missing in a woman's wardrobe.
On the night of Weibo Night, she wore a blue suit and skirt from Yu Sheng brand, which was particularly eye-catching among a group of female stars' high-end dresses.
She wore a basic style to look high-end.
Ni Ni did not attend Weibo Night as a star, but as Zhou Yutang's special assistant. She and Zeng Li became popular on the hot search because of their beauty.
So many netizens joked that it was a pity for her not to be in the entertainment industry with her fashion expression.
"Ni Ni, you can understand my mother when you communicate with her?"
"The dialects of Jinling and Yancheng are not much different. As long as the aunt speaks slower, there will be no problem."
Ni Ni's mouth curved softly, and she chuckled: "Auntie is very nice, and she even asked me to come over and have dinner with her in the evening."
"Are you coming then?"
"I won't bother you. My parents are also coming to the capital."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"Serve the boss, as you should."
Ni Ni smiled with white teeth.
As Zhou Yutang's special assistant, her boss doesn't have any holidays, and she doesn't have any rest time either.
This is true even during the Chinese New Year.
It's a bit bitter.
But who is not suffering in life?
Compared to what you might get now and in the future.
Ni Ni thinks it’s worth it.
After a busy day at work, Zhou Yutang rarely worked overtime and gave Ni Ni a day off.
As soon as I got home, I felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. Wang Fengqin stepped forward first, still wearing an apron, with a very earnest expression: "Son, why did Liu Yifei come to see you?"
"Are you coming?"
Zhou Yutang slapped his forehead.
I got so dizzy late in the movie that I almost forgot about dating Miss Liu.
This villa is not far from Liu Yifei's house. When she came over, she was probably seen by Wang Fengqin.
A woman came to the door. The relationship was somewhat complicated. Wang Fengqin sensed this, so she pulled Zhou Yutang and asked, "What's the relationship between you two?"
"good friend."
"What about Shi Shi?"
"Pretty much."
"What's the matter? Who is your girlfriend?"
"Mom, I just want to have a career."
The so-called best friend is a mother. Wang Fengqin looked at Zhou Yutang suspiciously, knowing what she was doing, and sneered: "Then let me ask you, if you were to choose between Shi Shi and Liu Yifei, who would you choose?"
"Children make choices."
Zhou Yutang said confidently.
He just wants to give beautiful girls a home, what's wrong with that.
Red roses and white moonlight, who says you can’t have both?
"I think your skin is itchy."
Seeing how generous her son was, Wang Fengqin was so angry that she picked up a feather duster and asked the Queen Mother to teach her son.
Zhou Yutang didn't hide either. He didn't get close to him a few times, but he screamed very loudly.
Lao Zhou didn't take it seriously. He was already used to the relationship between mother and son.
In fact, Wang Fengqin is not willing to hit hard, so it's just meaningless.
Lying on the sofa, sending messages to Liu Yifei while waiting for dinner, this sudden meeting was not in Miss Liu's plan at all. She could feel that she was a little panicked, and kept asking the Queen Mother what she thought of her.
"time to eat."
Lao Zhou came out of the kitchen and prepared a table of food.
The specially ordered Peking duck, hometown-style lion head, and of course Zhou Yutang’s favorite braised puffer fish are also indispensable.
The family gathering was naturally warm. After the meal, Zhou Yutang walked out directly. Comrade Zhou put away the dishes and chopsticks, and did not forget to pay attention to what was going on in the living room:
“Has ‘In the Name of the People’ started yet?”
"Do you still want to watch TV?"
"Qi Tongwei will definitely be arrested in the end, but he just doesn't know how to film it."
Lao Zhou wiped off the water on his hands and tuned to the CCTV channel. Only then did he notice Wang Fengqin's worried look on his face, and asked curiously: "Isn't it very happy when I came here? Why are you angry again when you see your son?"
"Old Zhou, I'm worried. Who do you think our son looks like?"
"My son is like my mother. He has inherited most of your advantages, otherwise he would not be so handsome."
Zhou Zhengping's attention was entirely on the TV and he said casually: "Don't worry about your son's emotional affairs. He can handle it himself."
If you keep cutting, it will become messy.
Wang Fengqin thought about it and felt that her head was big.
From her point of view, she originally thought that Li Yao was the destined daughter-in-law.
The two families were close to each other and knew each other well. Moreover, Xiao Li had feelings for his son.
However, Liu Shishi appeared again, and his gentle and well-behaved appearance was naturally very good.
But today another Liu Yifei appeared. Wang Fengqin, who usually doesn't care much about the entertainment industry, knew that she was a big star.
When it comes to national character, Liu Yifei is absolutely unique among Xiao Hua Dan.
Lao Zhou was watching TV with concentration, while Wang Fengqin was thinking in his mind.
Suddenly, the screen of her mobile phone on the coffee table lit up.
Pick it up and take a look.
It turns out that Ni Ni, who we had a very good chat with today, sent the message.
"Yang Ying's acting skills are really not good."
Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei left the movie theater in the middle of the show and couldn't help but complain.
I have already watched "Private Order" and "Police Story" released during the Lunar New Year holiday, and I have watched "Charlotte" countless times.
Today I picked a romantic movie "Waiting for the Wind" which will be released in mid-January.
Directed by Teng Huatao, a great director in the drama industry, the cast of Yang Ying, Jing Boran, and Arthur Liu is also passable.
Since "Love in a Bouquet" created the myth last year, there have been a lot of fresh and healing romance films in the industry.
Teng Huatao also wanted to try how deep the water here is, but the plot of the whole film is loose and has nothing to move the audience. It is more like the pretentious moaning of a literary young man.
Putting aside the plot of the movie, it is even more difficult to complain about Tianbao's various grievances in the movie, but she still can't cry.
No wonder the box office in the first six days was just over 40 million. This result is not ideal for the Lunar New Year period.
But there is someone worse than Teng Huatao.
The cost of his movie was not high, so it was able to recoup the cost. China Film invested nearly 15 million US dollars in the Sino-British co-production "Prehistoric Monsters", which was released on New Year's Day.
The first day's box office revenue was 8.5 million, and by late January, it was just over 30 million.
It is said that the special effects were made by Prime Focus, the visual effects team for Gravity, which received a great deal of Oscar nominations this year.
Maoyan scored 5.6 and Douban scored 3.0. The unanimous negative reviews from netizens dealt a heavy blow to La Peikang.
La Peikang's mentality was a little bit stretched.
This was not a project he was in charge of, but he had to take the blame.
He wanted to turn into a time assassin and rush into the Spring Festival period to take off with Zhou Yutang's Mojin.
By late January, the box office of Charlotte's Troubles had reached 1.385 billion.
Not only did it break the highest box office record of comedy movies of Lost in Thailand, it also surpassed the 1.312 billion box office of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, ranking second in the total box office list of Chinese movies.
When Zhou Yutang went to Beijing Film Academy to take the preliminary examination for the art exam, he saw the banners and signboards on the school, celebrating Zhang Yimou's nomination for the Oscar, and the box office success of Zhou Yutang's screenwriter Charlotte's Troubles.
As always, he was filled with shame.
His license plate was registered with the security guard, and he drove straight in and took Wang Jinsong's parking space.
There was still more than half an hour before the interview, but the Beijing Film Academy was already crowded with people.
Zhou Yutang glanced around, some of them were brought by parents, and most of them looked longing.
Oh my god, how come there is a girl wrapped in a military coat?
In just a short while, someone had recognized him with sharp eyes: "Damn, Zhou Yutang!"
It can be said that one call and a hundred responses, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Yutang.
There was admiration, excitement, envy, and amazement.
Jiangdong Grand Commander was already a legend in the entertainment industry, and no one knew how many people at the scene applied for Beijing Film Academy because of him.
Zhou Yutang was accustomed to this, and smiled and waved.
Wearing a long windbreaker, a high-necked black sweater inside, and walking with long legs, he was so handsome that he had no friends.
"Why is he here?"
"He's so handsome!"
A cool-looking girl's eyes lit up. She immediately took out her phone to take a photo, and then sent it to her girlfriends' group, muttering to herself:
"Is he here to be the examiner for today's art exam?"
"You got it right."
Zhou Yutang hung up his work ID card, and when he passed by, he stopped and smiled at the girl: "Come on."
The cool-looking girl felt a little dizzy.
The pair of bright eyes, wide and round, stared at the back of the man in front of her, excited.
If there were not so many people at the scene and she was afraid of social death, she really wanted to put her hands on her hips and laugh up to the sky, suppressing her excitement, and couldn't wait to share this good news with the sisters in the group:
"Did you know that the male god talked to me today? He is the examiner for today's art exam, and he told me to come on!"
"O(∩_∩)O!"
I entered the teacher's office and talked to Teacher Yao for a while.
I heard a lot of inside stories. The art exam is very complicated.
The performance department was even more crowded, and those with connections used all kinds of personal connections.
There were many articles about "little Liu Yifei" and "little Fan Binbin".
There were professional teachers watching the art exams. Zhou Yutang sat there for the whole morning, and at nearly twelve o'clock, he saw an acquaintance.
He couldn't help but sit up straight.
