Chapter 553: Ascension Explosion, Small Explosion in the Fish Pond

Mr. Wang has a very clear idea.

Low-cost romantic comedy movies like "Ex-Files" do not have the ability to compete with commercial blockbusters, so temporarily avoiding the limelight is the most sensible decision.

Valentine's Day can also take advantage of the residual heat of the Spring Festival, and avoid becoming cannon fodder.

Facts have proved that.

His judgment is not wrong.

This year's Spring Festival was extremely fierce, with two movies exceeding 100 million yuan at the box office on the first day.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the box office of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" closed at 205 million yuan.

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, the single-day box office revenue was 228 million yuan.

After three days of release, the total box office exceeded the 600 million threshold.

The entire film and television industry was shocked by it.

Another big-budget commercial film that exploded and soared was born.

After breaking the first-day box office record of domestic films, it also strongly refreshed the single-day box office record of Chinese-language films for three consecutive days.

The industry couldn't help but think of what Zhou Yutang said.

Compared with last year, it has made a step further.

It really reigns over the Spring Festival with an invincible posture.

The movie "Havoc in Heaven", which Yuzhou Dan had high hopes for and was going to compete with Zhou Yutang, failed to hold up after all. After three days of release, the total box office reached 258 million.

The expected situation of the gods fighting each other did not happen.

Released on the same day, Zhou Yutang's "Mojin: The Lost Legend" doubled the latter's box office.

However, in Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian markets, it fought back and forth with "Mojin: The Lost Legend".

The Monkey King's brand finally took a lot of advantage.

Zhou Yutang was on the road show, following the rhythm of one city a day, trying to travel to the first-tier cities in the country.

Liu Yifei just finished the Hong Kong announcement schedule with Aunt Liu before the New Year, and went shopping by the way.

She went back to her hometown for the New Year and was photographed going to the cinema with her good friend Yao Beina.

Miss Liu also had her hair permed for the New Year, wearing a white dress and a pair of long boots. In addition to her pure and beautiful appearance, she also had a mature temperament.

Tianxian fans were full of emotion.

The old fashion expert is no longer there.

Liu Yifei is no longer the little girl who still speaks with a baby voice. She is now a mature and charming girl.

This time, she rarely posted a photo with Yao Beina on Weibo, as well as the movie ticket stub of "The Lost Tomb", and accompanied it with text.

"I'll make a splash during the Chinese New Year, let's go to the movie together, it's very good. Heart·JPG"

After Liu Yifei was lured to Sina Weibo by Zhou Yutang, "My Love from the Star" attracted countless fans at that time, but she didn't do much business at ordinary times, but her influence was unquestionable, and this Weibo post quickly became a hot search.

Many fans were recommended.

Even Tianxian said it was good, and out of curiosity, they followed into the cinema.

Liu Tianxian expressed her support, and Liu Shishi was not inferior to others in her life.

In addition to posting articles on Weibo to promote it, Yijie directly paid for more than a dozen screenings for the little lions.

Hu Ge, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruojun and others also posted on Weibo, and booked the venue for their fans to draw prizes, which can be regarded as a wave of support.

Many actors and stars in the circle have a tacit understanding to promote on their social media.

In terms of connections in the domestic entertainment industry, these two Hong Kong dragons combined are not Zhou Yutang's opponents.

After all, the Hong Kong circle has only so many resources. Now that half of the domestic entertainment industry is in Zhou Yutang's hands, everyone knows who to actively approach.

While "The Lost Tomb" was a runaway success during the Spring Festival, Liu Shishi's "Reply 1988" was also aired amid the expectations of countless people.

Continuing the excellent reputation of the first hit "Reply 1997", this TV series has always been a hot topic.

The drama with the atmosphere of life in the 1980s is like a mild and mellow tea. As long as you watch it, you will feel the bitter and sweet feeling lingering in your heart.

As soon as Liu Shishi appeared on the stage, her pure, lively and lovely appearance amazed countless people.

"Her acting skills have improved a lot."

Zhou Yutang was on the road show and watched a few episodes in the evening. While watching, he also had a video chat with Liu Shishi and praised her.

He was on the road show, and Liu Shishi also entered the formal work rhythm after the Chinese New Year.

This drama was also broadcasted by two stars, with a first-day audience rating of 1.78%, which can be regarded as a hit drama.

The key is that Douban opened with a score of 9.5, which is almost unanimously praised, which is outrageous.

For a while, Liu Shishi was also the talk of the town.

"You have good taste."

Liu Shishi was naturally very happy to hear the praise from her sweetheart, but her tone was a little arrogant: "Teacher Songwen has sent a message to praise me."

"Then let Teacher Cao carve you into shape."

"Alas!"

The smile on Liu Shishi's gentle and beautiful face in the video disappeared instantly, and she said a little disappointedly: "Dear, I always feel that I am still far from Teacher Cao's requirements."

"Don't worry, take your time."

Zhou Yutang laughed dumbly and encouraged: "Old Cao said you have made great progress. I will send him some cigarettes and alcohol later, and he will definitely praise you."

"You asked me to bring it to Teacher Cao last time, and he was quite happy."

"You can't buy those special cigarettes even if you have money, how can you not be happy."

Liu Shishi will have a "Tuner" next, which is expected to start filming in April at the latest.

Cao Baoping is not as easy to talk to as Zhang Songwen.

In the early crew meetings, Teacher Cao did not lower his standards because Liu Shishi was Zhou Yutang's person.

Every director has his own style of doing things.

Cao Baoping's style is probably so delicate and real that it's outrageous.

Lou Pan, the art director who has worked with him for nearly ten years, once said that Cao Baoping is a director who is almost abnormal in his requirements for details.

For example, in a certain clip in the movie, the interior of the cabinet may not be seen at all, but Cao Baoping will ask to place props in the cabinet according to the character's personality.

Only by doing this can a masterpiece be produced.

Lao Cao has done a few projects very beautifully.

Zhou Yutang thinks Cao Baoping is very good at teaching actors, so he gave Liu Shishi to him.

When Zhou Gongzi starred in "Li Mi's Conjecture", Lao Cao almost forced him to collapse, but he finally contributed a classic acting.

Liu Shishi also cherished this opportunity very much. While busy with the publicity work of the drama, she did not forget to call Cao Baoping to report her experience.

Originally, there were complaints about Liu Shishi, a big boss, who stuffed a popular little flower into the crew.

If Cao Baoping were to choose by himself, he would definitely choose a powerful actress like Zhou Xun.

But Zhou Yutang's ability to make money is too strong.

For any project of Cao Baoping, he would give money and people, and he would agree to it.

For "The Burning Sun" and this project where he was the screenwriter, at least 60 million yuan was invested.

He also paid the top director, and Cao Baoping could not find any reason to refuse.

After a period of contact, he had a great change of mind about Liu Shishi.

Although her talent was not top-notch, she was very serious and attentive in her work, which was quite recognized by Lao Cao.

The heroine in the movie had to pretend to be blind, and she really observed and experienced the life and emotions of the blind.

In addition, Liu Shishi showed a very respectful attitude towards herself.

She called him Teacher Cao all the time, and even sent cigarettes and alcohol to her home during the Chinese New Year.

This child is teachable!

Cao Baoping is also a teacher at Beijing Film Academy, so he pointed out: "The difficulty of your role is how to be natural in temperament, behavior and language."

"At present, your performance has improved compared to the beginning, but it is still relatively external. What I want is an overall change, which is not easy. You can take your time. There is still time."

"Thank you, Teacher Cao."

Liu Shishi said firmly: "I will definitely work hard."

"Mojin: The Lost Tomb" swept the Spring Festival file and suppressed the two fierce dragons that the media said were crossing the river.

It closed at 120 million on the fourth day, 98.55 million on the fifth day, and 83.13 million on the sixth day.

On the seventh day, facing the impact of Disney's animated film "Frozen", Zhou Yutang's interview and variety show happened to be launched.

The box office rose against the trend that day and still closed at 88.75 million.

So far.

Including the pre-sale box office, it took less than 8 full days, and the cumulative total box office has reached 1.024 billion.

Zhou Yutang told the insiders what a super first-line commercial film director is.

He dominated the Spring Festival period strongly. The news of the movie box office data was updated on time every day. The media and the Internet reported various hot topics!

"This box office trend, the attendance rate remains high, even more exaggerated than "Now You See Me" at the time, and there is a good chance to break that record."

"Another record has been broken, the fastest domestic film to break 1 billion."

"I just want to say that Zhou Yutang is really awesome."

"He is indeed an eternal god. He has brought Chinese-language films into the heavy industry era with two special effects blockbusters in a row."

Inside and outside the circle, it was nothing but shock.

On the official website of Beijing Film Academy, Zhou Yutang was on the homepage, and a text message was also sent out, "Celebrating our outstanding student Zhou Yutang, the new film "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" has broken the box office of 1 billion!"

La Peikang called in: "Yutang, the overseas comprehensive box office in Southeast Asia and other Asia-Pacific regions has exceeded 30 million US dollars in total revenue."

This is to create foreign exchange, which is more meaningful than the domestic box office. When the time comes, the official media will inevitably report it.

The box office of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" has been booming, making Zhou Yutang's reputation soaring, and Dilraba Dilmurat, Liu Huohua and Chen Minghao have also benefited a lot.

For celebrities, national popularity and popularity are very important, but the circle still judges a star by its commercial value.

The box office success of the movie in which it participates is a very important indicator.

Prove that it is recognized and accepted by the audience.

Liu Huohua used to be glorious, but in the past few years, he followed Lu Chuan and got worse and worse. Now, relying on Hu Bayi in the tomb-robbing trio, he has ushered in the second spring of his career.

Chen Minghao went from being a little transparent to a well-known middle-aged powerful actor in an instant.

Zhou Yutang also arranged a publicity draft, and hyped up the fact that Chen Minghao gained dozens of pounds for this role.

The effect is not bad.

Appropriate marketing can definitely make the audience know more about such a good actor.

Dilraba Dilmurat's commercial value has also skyrocketed, and even Nazha, who has stunning shots in the movie, has received several advertising offers.

Two 90-year-old girls from Jiangdong are both taking off.

…

The box office is booming, which seems to have given the main creators of the crew a stimulant.

After running from one city to another every day, they are tired and exhausted.

But every day, watching the box office soar, they are in good spirits. The governor of Jiangdong is ready to open champagne at halftime and even booked a hotel for the celebration banquet.

During the road show, Zhou Yutang suddenly heard Liu Huohua and others talking about something.

The old Hong Kong actor Wu Ma passed away.

“It’s a bit sudden.”

Zhou Yutang glanced at the news on the Internet.

In addition to the record-breaking and miraculous box office of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" and the explosive reputation of "Reply 1988", there are also many news reports about this matter.

He and Teacher Wu Ma once met at Boss Yang's cocktail party and chatted for a few words. He felt that he was a very kind and friendly old senior.

"I was still young at that time. I saw him boating on the lake in "Swordsman". The song "The Laugh of the Sea" was particularly touching." Liu Huohua shook his head and sighed.

"Hua Zi, you are a little shameless."

Chen Minghao laughed and said, "When you were really young, the movie had not been made yet."

"Isn't it the version with Zhang Min? Brother, I am in my prime."

Others think that Liu Huohua has a serious face, but after getting along with him day and night for the past few days, he is quite good at joking.

Come to think of it, can a really honest man win over that foreign beauty?

Talking about the once glorious Hong Kong movies, everyone sighed a little. It can indeed be said that there are many talents.

This teacher Wu Ma is a disciple of Chang Cheh and a private school disciple of King Hu. He can act, write, direct and plan. He is definitely a rare talent in the Hong Kong film industry.

He has left many classic roles.

Zhou Yutang still remembers the old Taoist Yan Chixia in A Chinese Ghost Story.

Unfortunately, since then, there has been no one in the world who can catch ghosts and monsters.

Let's look at the current Hong Kong circle.

It is already in the west. After the four kings, only Principal Gu and handsome guy A Zu can be on the stage.

Teacher Chen is obsessed with photography, Yu Wenle is addicted to bars, and the entire young generation has collapsed.

Who knows, in ten years, it will still be these people.

"What happened to Nazha recently?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Liu Huohua coughed and pulled Chen Minghao's arm.

The two old men looked at each other and knew it instantly.

It's nothing more than jealousy for Zhou Yutang.

Anyone who is not blind can see it.

Nazha and Reba, these two girls, always stick around Zhou Yutang no matter what.

If there is nothing wrong, there must be something fishy.

But even if they knew, they would not say much.

After all, it was Zhou Yutang's private matter, and she might even enjoy it.

Nazha was very happy at first.

She was full of joy and thought that she could spend time with Zhou Yutang during the road show.

With the company of the world, they were free and unrestrained, and galloped on horseback at night, sharing the prosperity of the world.

But things were not what she imagined.

Reba, who was on the road show with her, gradually showed her fox tail.

In the past few days of getting along day and night, even if Nazha was slow, she realized something was wrong.

Reba did not even avoid her several times, and laughed with Zhou Yutang in front of her, and even brought intimate body movements.

It happened to be a road show in Shanghai that day. After finishing the day's work, Nazha found an opportunity and blocked Reba in the room while Zhou Yutang was having a dinner with Wu Heru, a big boss of Shanghai's cinema chain.

"Nazha, why are you here?"

"I have something to ask you."

Nazha had a cold face.

Reba's mind was working quickly and she realized that her tone was a little wrong.

Her heart was shocked.
