Chapter 552: Great Benefits, Fighting Between Gods

Last night, I indulged myself until midnight.

The next morning.

Zhou Yutang was still self-disciplined.

I woke up at half past six.

As usual, I replied to Zou Zhongyan's message first.

Because of the time difference, the time for communication was chosen in the morning here.

"The Purge 2" has started post-production, and "Fifty Shades of Grey" is also in progress, and it is expected to be completed in February.

Several projects are progressing smoothly, and then there is the specific progress of Oscar public relations. Good news is coming in frequently. According to Harvey, the fat man, this time is very promising.

After the simple work exchange, Zhou Yutang glanced at Nazha, whose soft long hair was scattered on the pillow in a mess, and she slept very sweetly.

He got up and went to the living room to pour a glass of water.

Sister Nazha really came back very late.

She left the house at about 6 o'clock in the morning, but we didn't see each other again.

She also prepared breakfast and put it on the dining table. It was probably bought at the breakfast shop downstairs in the community.

Because I don't know Zhou Yutang's taste, I bought some fried buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and steamed dumplings.

She also prepared a fruit salad for Nazha to keep her figure in check, which shows her attentiveness.

This is the good thing about mature older sisters.

If it were Nazha, let alone preparing breakfast, she would probably have to act coquettishly and ask for a hug before she would get up.

Zhou Yutang was busy holding Nazha's tablet, enjoying breakfast while browsing the news.

"At the premiere of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb", Zhou Yutang said that dominating the Lunar New Year box office is a piece of cake!"

"If you are not a fierce dragon, you can't cross the river. Yuzhou Dan wants to challenge Zhou Yutang head-on, and the goal is to lock in 1.5 billion box office!"

"The legendary God of Gamblers is back, and the stars of Hong Kong are shining, and they will fight against the Jiangdong Grand Commander!"

Several movies scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival have been promoted everywhere after the premiere, and the entire Spring Festival box office is full of gunpowder.

By the way, I took a look at the message sent by Ni Ni. I will leave for the movie road show this afternoon. I called Nazha a few times, but there was no response. Zhou Yutang went in and called her.

Nazha's beautiful eyebrows and eyes still had some laziness when she just woke up. She uttered a meaningless low hum and took the initiative to stretch out her white and delicate arms.

"Brother, hold me up like a princess."

Faced with Nazha's sweet and greasy coquetry, Zhou Yutang was helpless.

He had to coax her, because Nazha was a well-behaved and beautiful sister.

He picked up her light body and walked into the bathroom, and he couldn't help but be gentle, which was warm and interesting.

"It's almost the New Year, is your sister still working?"

"It's her turn recently, flight attendants are very hard."

Naza ate salad, stared at Zhou Yutang's fried dough sticks, and swallowed hard: "Brother, is it delicious?"

"How long have you not had a normal breakfast?"

"There are many award ceremonies at the end of the year, it's been several months."

"Eat something, then I have to go on a roadshow, my body can't handle it."

Zhou Yutang gave some soy milk and fried dough sticks to Naza, and his heart was also sunburned.

To look good in front of the camera, female stars curl up.

Most of them control their body shape through diet and exercise. Of course, this does not mean that they don't like food, they are just more restrained.

While talking to Naza, the phone on the table vibrated and the screen lit up.

He took the phone and saw that it was Li Dagou calling.

"Brother Dagou, how come you have time to call me?"

"Good news."

Brother Dagou's voice was still as bold as ever: "The Six Gates headquarters has decided on the public bidding."

Zhou Yutang immediately became interested: "So soon?"

"My information should be fine."

"Brother Dagou, you are still wild."

"Haha."

Brother Dagou laughed and said: "When the time comes, I will announce your name and see who can compete with you."

"When will the bidding be held?"

" It's tomorrow, and it will be finalized before the New Year."

"No problem."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yutang nodded quickly: "Take a look at the last plan first, and we'll talk about the rest when we meet."

"Brother, are you going to start a new play again?"

After dinner, Nazha sat softly on his lap: "I heard about the Six Gates headquarters."

"Well, I may not be the one to do the company's projects."

Zhou Yutang was thinking about the bidding in his mind, and he listened absentmindedly to Guli Nazha talking about the trivial matters of life and work during this period.

After a while, he received another call from Pei Kang of China Film, who was also talking about this matter.

"Boss, I can't do without your guidance at that time. In addition, I need your help with something else."

Zhou Yutang also told Pei Kang about the introduction of "Lucy".

The new head of China Film Group was very considerate and readily agreed: "No problem, I'll arrange it when the time comes."

There was a rumor about the "Operation Mekong" project when Li Dagou was hospitalized, and now it has to be finalized before the New Year.

Let Ni Ni adjust her schedule slightly and accept a media interview in Beijing.

Zhou Yutang glanced at it when he went out.

I don't know why the licking dog in Nazha's house is so sick.

The next day.

Zhou Yutang went to the Six Gates headquarters building with Li Dagou.

The CEOs of each film and television company have their own connections, and many people have received the news.

Bona's Fatty Yu is confident, and Huayi's Da Wang went out in person, accompanied by the new director of the film department, the great director Gu Changwei.

The big and small film and television companies in the circle, all the heroes gathered at the Six Gates headquarters.

When they saw each other, they smiled at each other.

The Mekong River case occurred in 2011 and shocked China.

In the summer of 2012, the criminal was extradited back to China and sentenced in Dian Province.

Sitting in the large conference room of the headquarters, even the air was filled with solemnity.

Since the bidding is open to the public, everyone has a chance.

Huayi's proposal was that Feng Xiaogang would be the director, Gu Changwei would supervise the production, and the script outline had already been prepared.

Fatty Yu from Bona obviously came prepared and came up with his own plan.

After the leaders had a brief exchange, the boss in the middle directly called Zhou Yutang's name: "Director Zhou, what do you think?"

All the eyes of the audience were focused on Zhou Yutang.

"Leader, I have some immature ideas."

Zhou Yutang stood up and talked: "I estimate that the cost of this project can reach 200 million, and it can be made into a commercial blockbuster with the main theme."

He didn't draw a picture, he just stated his thoughts.

"good!"

The big boss sitting in the middle spoke, and the leader next to him nodded frequently.

The hearts of Fatty Yu, Mr. Wang and others gradually sank.

"Yu Tang, you are so proud."

Coming out of the headquarters building, Brother Big Dog smiled from ear to ear: "The six-door headquarters, and even the office of the department boss, are open to you for filming, what a thief!"

"lucky."

Zhou Yutang focused on being steady and humble in the Shunfeng game.

Strictly speaking, he reaped the dividends of "In the Name of the People".

In the just-concluded anti-corruption political drama, he gave a perfect score.

The ratings that shocked the whole country were really a big plus in the minds of those above.

No matter how much other people boast, but without any successful experience, they are naturally not as good as Zhou Yutang.

Bona's Fatty Yu came out of the building with a not-so-good expression.

"Mr. Yu, this project has a lot of benefits. Do you want to find ways to find connections to make it work?"

The assistant next to me also participated in the bidding meeting just now and took the initiative to propose.

Fatty Yu shook his head: "Who are you looking for? No matter how hard the relationship is, can he be tougher than Zhou Yutang?"

The assistant beside him was silent.

Several senior executives at Huayi also seemed to have lost the battle, with their heads and brains drooping.

Feng Xiaogang and Gu Changwei, these two great directors from Huayi, together are not as powerful as Zhou Yutang alone.

“This project in the name of the people is really beautifully done.”

Mr. Wang obviously understood what was going on and sighed: "As long as Zhou Yutang opens his mouth, others will have no chance, no matter who comes."

The project "Operation Mekong" was accepted, but the script plan still needs to be revised.

This is how "In the Name of the People" came about.

China Film Group must have a share of the investment in this film, so Zhou Yutang left the matter of docking to Pei Kang.

He himself began to invest in film roadshow promotion.

I had a day off until New Year's Eve.

Xiaogangpao, the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala, really has some ideas.

Xiao Shen Yang staged a live-action version of Plants vs. Zombies, but the most eye-catching thing was the sweet-looking little girl.

Wearing a wide robe and plain skirt, her hair is as long as a waterfall.

He just stood in the corner of the stage and kept spinning.

According to statistics from some netizens, the little colorful flag spun there for 4 hours one night, and it spun more than 8,000 times in total.

This can also be calculated, there are so many talented netizens.

Except for the press releases for "The Secret of the Dragon" and several movies, the Internet is full of news about Yang Liping's niece.

What makes Zhou Yutang a little amused is that the Tang people actually took advantage of the heat and followed the grand official announcement and signed a small colorful flag.

"What do you think, Sister K?"

When calling Liu Shishi, Zhou Yutang couldn't help but mention this matter.

"I do not know."

Liu Shishi was also a little confused: "Maybe she thought it would be as popular as Xiao Shen Yang."

The first sister is supported by Zhou Yutang and is also a shareholder of Tangren Film and Television, but she has a bit of a Buddhist temperament. Apart from having the absolute initiative in taking over her own roles, she basically does not interfere too much in the company's specific operations.

"It's quite a beautiful thought."

Zhou Yutang was a little dumbfounded.

The times have brought Xiao Shenyang to the forefront, and there will never be such a miracle again.

After the entertainment industry entered the capital era, Tang people began to fall behind, and Cai Yinong's original style no longer worked.

Without money or resources, there is no way to play.

The excitement of the Spring Festival Gala is still going on.

On the first day of the new year, Zhou Yutang took several leading actors and started a road show to promote the film.

On the way, red envelopes were given to everyone on the cast and crew.

"Director Zhou, why are you so embarrassed?"

Liu Huohua took the red envelope handed over by Ni Ni and was slightly stunned.

"Brother Hua, take it. Everyone has a red envelope for starting work in the New Year. It's for good luck."

"Thank you, Director Zhou!"

"Mr. Zhou is awesome!"

Zhou Yutang has always been generous with his gifts. Not only the main creative members of the crew received red envelopes, but also the accompanying staff.

"I hope everyone can work together. These ten days may be very difficult."

"It should."

The entire roadshow promotion team was in high spirits.

The so-called movie roadshow is to face the audience offline, interact with the audience sincerely and actively, and establish an emotional connection between the two parties.

Zhou Yutang's box office appeal among young people can be said to be unique.

On New Year's Day, "The Secret of the Dragon" was released, pitting it against two Xiangjiang dragons.

At 12 noon, Zhou Yutang came out of a cinema with the main creators and received the third call from La Dong.

"Yutang, the first day box office has exceeded 100 million!"

This is the succession gift left by Han Sanping. The new head of China Film Group is now very excited.

Now it seems that this is undoubtedly a generous gift.

It can make him famous, and at the same time, in his heart, Zhou Yutang's ability and status are infinitely elevated.

The entertainment industry's all-knowing official is indeed not in vain.

Lao Wang of Guangguang and Ye Ning of Wanda are also paying attention to the pre-sale and first-day box office of this movie, and they are more diligent than Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei.

"Zhou Yutang easily dominates the Lunar New Year's Day box office. The first day of the premiere of "The Lost Tomb" has earned 160 million yuan, and both word-of-mouth and box office have taken off!"

Film and television information is continuously updated. The exaggerated first-day box office of "The Lost Tomb" has been posted on the homepage of the entertainment portal website.

"It's a domestic blockbuster that's as good as Hollywood in terms of temperament. Jiangdong Grand Commander is awesome!"

"Compared to the original novel, there are still many changes, but the flaws do not outweigh the merits."

"It's definitely the most worth-watching movie during the Spring Festival."

"I went to see it with my girlfriend. I wanted to watch God of Gamblers, but my girlfriend is a Zhou Yutang fan and she said she enjoyed it."

"What's the easter egg in the movie, eyes appear behind the three tomb-raiding people?"

"That's a curse. It's probably laying the groundwork for the next sequel."

I looked at the movie reviews. Most of them were positive. Among them, Douban's 8.5 and Maoyan's 9.5 scores proved that most of the audience were satisfied with the movie.

But of course there were some critical comments, thinking that the movie did not fully respect the original novel.

Zhou Yutang directly ignored these people's comments. Lian Bachang himself was the script consultant and gave a lot of suggestions.

By the way, I looked at the performance of the opponents. The first-day box office of Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven closed at 112 million, ranking second in the Spring Festival.

The eldest and the second fought, but the third died.

"The Wind and Cloud" was hyped up with the gimmick of the return of the God of Gamblers, but the box office on the first day was only 22.8 million. The main creators had previously said that they would lock in 1.5 billion box office.

But judging from the first day, it is undoubtedly a fantasy.

The industry was stunned by Zhou Yutang's horrific performance, and recalled the fear of being dominated by him in the past.

Zhou Yutang's mobile phone has been filled with congratulatory messages from all sides.

Ye Ning, Wang Changtian and La Peikang, the three main producers of the film, are all asking about the sequel.

"Let's make the script first, and the preparation period will take a little longer."

"Ghost Blows Out the Light" will definitely have a sequel, and Zhou Yutang has already assigned the task to the creative center. Ba Chang himself is also the script consultant for the entire series.

Because the length and rhythm of the movie need to be considered, it is difficult to follow the original work completely, but it is more suitable to be made into a TV series.

"Fortunately, "The Ex-Files" was pushed to Valentine's Day."

Mr. Wang received the box office data report sent by the film and television department and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The first day of the 45% screening of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" was a big hit, and the word of mouth was also very good. The subsequent screenings can be raised further.

If this happened to Zhou Yutang, he would have been caught in the crossfire and would have become cannon fodder without a doubt.

Although escaping is shameful, it is useful.
