Chapter 114: The Prosperity of the Celestial Dynasty, Zhou Yutang’s Good Voice
According to teacher Yu Chenghui’s arrangement, Zhou Yutang wore sandbags on his feet and waist.
My steps were a little heavy for the first few days, but I soon got used to it. As an old saying goes, my physical condition is so good that it would be a pity not to practice martial arts.
After getting used to this intensity and practicing the teacher's waist training methods, Zhou Yutang also specially invited a professional fitness coach to set up recipes and additional training programs for him.
Why
In this drama, he has a very important scene showing his abdominal muscles.
The movie is expected to start shooting around October, so Zhou Yutang will have to perfect his abdominal muscles during this time.
Body management is also a required course for being a star.
Zhou Yutang’s professionalism is beyond doubt.
He specially shared his training plan and videos with Liu Tianxian, but the girl was shocked.
She originally thought she had worked hard enough, but she didn't expect Zhou Yutang to be more ruthless than her.
Except for bathing, I always wear a set of sandbags weighing dozens of kilograms. I train like this every day, and I also find time to participate in Olympic rehearsals.
Liu Tianxian was completely convinced.
July.
Han Sanping was in a bad mood.
Zhou Yutang looked at Mr. Han sitting on the sofa and sighed several times.
No wonder.
Red Cliff was released on the 10th of this month, and the box office did not exceed 1.1 billion after 7 days of release.
This box office trend is even worse than the assembly number, and it poured cold water on Mr. Han.
How much investment did the assembly number cost?
It cost several hundred million to make Red Cliff. The total box office of the two movies is less than 1 billion, so it is considered a failure.
According to this trend, even though the film schedule is full, it cannot be saved. Nearly a month after its release, the box office finally exceeded 2.2 billion. Then the box office growth rate has plummeted. Although it is still in theaters, But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the market potential is almost exhausted.
Pirated copies of the film have long been spread throughout the Internet, and the Olympic Games, which are attracting national attention, are about to come. Who would care about this film with an appallingly low reputation?
Mr. Han watched The two major professional film review websites, Mtime.com and Douban, gave the film extremely low scores, and their faces were very dark.
He took a sip of water from the thermos cup, shook his head and sighed.
As the main producer of China Film Group, Mr. Han has placed a lot of bets on Wu Yusen.
However, Mr. Han, who has never failed to dominate the film industry, also looked away.
Mr. Han threw the box office statistics report submitted by the department below on the table and frowned, "Yu Tang, what do you think the problem is and why so many audiences don't accept it?"
< p>"Mr. Han, I would like to express my personal understanding from the perspective of the audience."Zhou Yutang took a sip of water, "The most serious problem is probably the cultural flaw.To achieve resonance, I am not talking about Director Wu’s cultural issues, but that his understanding of the Three Kingdoms is still the same as that of Hong Kong movies. What we viewers want to see when watching the Three Kingdoms are heroes rising up together, fighting with iron horses, and conquering thousands of miles. There are big problems with the script."
Han Sanping rubbed his forehead, "There are big problems with the script. The screenwriter Wu Yusen wanted to find at first was Lu Wei. ”
“It wasn’t written by Lu Wei, right?”
Zhou Yutang asked curiously.
Lu Wei is a real master. His Farewell My Concubine made Chen The poet ascended to the altar in one step.
"It was not settled. At that time, Lu Wei asked Wu Yusen what the core theme of the Battle of Red Cliff was. Wu Yusen said peace, and Lu Wei asked again which character he wanted to use. As the main core, Wu Yusen said "Xiao Qiao"
""
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched.
There is everything in the Three Kingdoms, but there is no peace.< /p>
He remembered the classic scene he saw with Liu Shishi in the cinema. Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, played by Lin Zhilin, were thinking about naming the horse. Zhou Yu said, "It was born in the land of Jingchu, and the name must be "It's reflected." Sister Zhilin thought for a long time and said, "Let's call it Mengmeng."
Mengmeng, stand up.
I heard from Mr. Han that this part is Wu Yusen The lines written by my wife.
This movie has had nine screenwriters, so it is inevitable that the plot will be confusing.
Anyway, Zhou Yutang is very dissatisfied with this batch of directors from Xiangjiang. This kind of magnificent historical themes and magnificent war scenes can give the feeling of a gang fight.
These remnants of the old era have no ship to carry them in the new era.
Liu Shishi flew back to Shanghai after watching the movie, and the first sister of the Tang Dynasty has a lot of announcements now.
Zhou Yutang is also busy with Olympic singing rehearsals and special training for the movie. p>
Simple and fulfilling time always flies by
July has finally arrived, and the day that attracts the world’s attention
Zhou Yutang asked Han specifically. I asked for two extra internal tickets to the core area, so that Zhou Zhengping and Wang Fengqin could watch the event in person.
When the time came,
the gorgeous fireworks were displayed. Surrounding the stadium, flowers bloomed above the Bird's Nest.
A huge sundial appeared, and the light of time from the sundial lit up the giant fou formation.
Thousands of people hit the fou array. When he chanted, Zhou Yutang was standing at the scene.
He really felt the resonance of thousands of people, and even the earth was shaking slightly.
Zhou Yutang was extremely shocked by the magnificent scene, and he couldn't help but admire him.
It takes the national master to play such a big scene.
In other words, Zhang Yimou and the entire behind-the-scenes team. , are the biggest contributors.
They spent several years conceiving the layout. From the opening ceremony, every second is full of the Chinese people's imagination and romance.
LiveThe printing skills amazed everyone, the scroll was unfolded, the sacred fire was lit, and the blood in Zhou Yutang's body began to boil faintly.
These few exquisite programs, in a sense, tell the story of the inheritance of China's five thousand years of splendid culture, and also symbolize the rich heritage of this great family.
In Director Zhang’s words, “different snowflakes from all over the world gathered in the capital and became a common snowflake for mankind.”
Before today, the Celestial Dynasty was in a period of dormant development. During this period, we did not open our country’s door to look at the whole world.
Chinese people’s vision has always been limited to the previous era.
Many people have a strange mentality.
I feel that China is backward, but the moon in foreign countries is particularly round, and even the air in the United States is sweet.
But after this world-famous event, the eyes of the entire world will gradually focus on this big eastern country, and some people will gradually wake up.
"Hello, Mr. Liu Huan."
Zhou Yutang also met the great artist Mr. Liu Huan, who sang with British singer Sarah Brightman at the opening ceremony, and greeted him politely. Say hello.
"Haha, hello, Xiao Zhou."
Teacher Liu Huan was kind-hearted and fat, and he took the initiative to say hello to Zhou Yutang, shaking hands and hugging him, and patting her with familiarity. Patted him on the shoulder.
The two sat and chatted for a while backstage, and then asked him to perform well during the closing ceremony, which made Zhou Yutang a little flattered.
"Brother Huan, why are you so polite to that boy?"
On the way back, Brother Huan's assistant was a little surprised.
According to Liu Huan’s status in the music industry, younger generations should take the initiative to greet him.
"Haha, this little Zhou, Datian listened."
Liu Huan pointed to the roof of the car with a chubby finger.
"Holding the grass"
The assistant only uttered one word.
Station in the world is important, but sometimes it is not important.
The big leader thinks that person is a talent, and that is someone who needs to make good friends.
"Yu Tang, you and Liu Huan met yesterday and he talked to you for a long time."
In Jiangdong Studio, Li Shuang looked at Zhou Yutang suspiciously and looked at her for a long time.
“I really don’t know you.”
Zhou Yutang was also confused, but he quickly came to his senses, “I remember Mr. Han said that there are leaders who are very optimistic about me, maybe it has something to do with this. "Relationship."
"It's possible. Mr. Liu Huan is also a veteran, so you should do more variety shows in the future. Yang Mi and Tang Yan went on variety shows like crazy last month, and this drama brought a lot to their classmates. "Traffic"
"By the way, Sister Shuang."
Just as he was thinking about Teacher Liu Huan's amiable smile, when he heard Li Shuang talking about variety shows, something flashed in Zhou Yutang's mind, and he was sitting there. The body of the office chair suddenly sat up straight, and he asked with a little excitement, "What do you think of Jiangdong Studio doing a variety show?"
"Variety showProgram"
Li Shuang was slightly stunned, "What type of variety show?"
"It's a music-type amateur talent show. "
Zhou Yutang took a piece of paper and drew a few strokes on it. "Look, here is the stage, and then below is the judges' seat. They sit on a specially designed chair with their backs to the stage. Just listen to the singer singing on the stage"
"If the singer's singing on the stage can impress the judges, then the judges will press a switch on the chair to turn the chair around"
" This model is a bit novel. ”
Li Shuang originally just listened, but unexpectedly he was attracted immediately. “Yu Tang, I probably understand what you mean. The judges do not rely on the singer’s appearance, but only on the singing voice.” Man, what happens next?"
"After that"
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said, "Let a few judges be mentors, and those selected by him will join his team, and then each mentor team After it is fully compiled, it enters the second stage. "
"The second stage is for the instructor to go through professional training, let the members of his team perform on the same stage, and then select the most potential and outstanding members among them"
"Then Let’s start a competition between several tutor teams to see which team’s students can gain more recognition from the audience.”
“Listening to what you said, I’m looking forward to this show. "
Li Shuang listened with fascination and also asked a question, "Yu Tang, but there is a very important problem. We are not a TV station. Even if the program is produced, there will be no place to broadcast it in the end."< /p>
"What does it matter.
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said, "We can find someone to cooperate with us. This show cannot be sustained by our own studio alone. I just calculated it and the initial investment is at least 100 million." "
"One hundred million"
Li Shuang's pupils were shocked.
"Yes. ”
Zhou Yutang said slowly, “According to my idea, this program needs to be done well. The most advanced audio equipment needs to be bought from abroad. In addition, we need to hire several highly respected mentors, which is also a huge sum of money.” Expenditure"
"You're playing really big. "
Li Shuang murmured, "The production costs of Super Girl and Fast Boy are not that expensive. Who are you going to find to cooperate with Mango Channel? They have a good relationship with you there. ”
“I can make it myself. "
"Yu Tang, although this program sounds very attractive, I still hope you can consider it carefully. Jiangdong Studio is not yet at the stage where it is easy to invest 100 million in variety shows."
Li Shuang advised tactfully.
The studio has tens of millions of working capital, and there is still a lot of follow-up income from several hit dramas due to the long tail effect.
You can get 100 million even if you bite the bullet and ask for a loan from the bank.
But what is the difference between doing this and gambling?
Li Shuang, who pursues stability and progress, of course. Want to remonstrate?
Zhou Yutang.Zi Zi smiled mysteriously, "Sister Shuang, you will know in two days."
For the past two days, Zhou Yutang has been practicing hard according to Yu Lao's method, and he has not fallen behind in the gym. He will take time to accompany Lao Zhou again. Watch the Olympics with Ms. Wang.
Lianshun took us around the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and several scenic spots in the capital.
For Ms. Wang Fengqin, who grew up in the south, seeing a different world was so novel and joyful that it goes without saying.
Mainly because I saw that Zhou Yutang was promising, I felt even more pleased.
Lao Zhou bought a batch of Olympic souvenirs to take back and prepare to give to students in local impoverished primary schools.
Zhou Yutang’s project to help local poor students was handed over to Zhou Zhengping and was in good condition.
Two days later.
Tian Ming arrived in Beijing.
This time he brought Zhu Jie to the capital to watch the Olympic Games.
When I arrived in the capital, I called Zhou Yutang directly, and the two got together as usual.
"Yu Tang, how are you doing in the later stages of this drama?"
"The post stage will be completed this month, and it is estimated that it will be ready for trial broadcast in October."
"Now the whole circle is watching your project. Remember to say hello next time if there is any project. I am very interested in cooperating with you."
Tian Ming said with a smile.
The name of a person is the shadow of a tree.
The golden sign of Jiangdong Studio has been launched, and there has been a lot of attention on Latent even before filming started. Several TV stations were still thinking of taking action in advance, but Zhou Yutang did not nod.
The theme of the main theme belongs to the film and television category strongly advocated above. Given the quality of this drama, there is no need to worry about selling it. It is better to wait for the completion of the film and wait for several TV stations to bid for it and make a big profit.
"Brother Ming, when you talk about the project, I have an idea."
Zhou Yutang directly said, "How about we do a variety show together?"
In When Sister Shuang said that she needed a front-line cooperation platform, he immediately thought of Tian Ming.
If this program is successful and very profitable, it will definitely attract some people's covetous attention.
Then you need someone with a background to protect you. Tian Ming’s background is unfathomable and he is a good partner.
"Tell me about it."
Tian Ming was also slightly stunned, and made a listening gesture. After listening to Zhou Yutang finish explaining part of the variety show process, he came immediately interest.
"This idea is very interesting. It can be said that it is a music competition program that has never appeared in China. It is also a highlight to discover amateurs through auditions."
Tian Ming burst out behind his glasses. "But the investment is not small, top-notch audio equipment from abroad, and a music instructor. How do you want to do it?"
"We will do it together, each person will take half. When the time comes, we will make it and sell it to the TV station."
"It can be operated."
Tian Ming is a professional after all, and he quickly noticed the business opportunities. "TodayTalent shows have disappeared in the past year. If this show is done well, it will definitely win over the young audience’s ratings market. But there are some details that I think are not perfect enough."
"For example, as you said In the first session, I think there could be more interaction between the host and the singers to make it more interesting. ”
“In this case, we can set up an off-site connection in the first session, so that those singers who advance from the audition to the blind audition can bring their relatives or friends”
Zhou Yutang added, "Insert some interview clips, and you can also place cameras in the background to record the expressions of relatives and friends when some players are selected by the instructor or when no one turns around for them. You can also record the interaction between the instructors to compete for students. This can be very good. It can arouse the audience's emotions and make the program more interesting."
"In the second round, you can film some tutors recording songs and making music with students, and some life clips of the adaptation process, so that the audience can I saw the real life conditions, and I also saw that the tutors are really carefully trained students, and then let them compete in pairs. Whoever can win will be able to move to the next step."
"Yu Tang . "
Tian Ming slapped his thigh and couldn't help laughing and said, "You have so many ideas, why don't you stop being a star and do a show with me." "
"Brother Ming, let me forget it.
Zhou Yutang shook his head, "I can make some money by doing this show. My main business is film and television projects. When the Olympics are over, I still have a movie to make." "
"What did the instructor of the show say?"
"Please ask for four, just divide them into four groups. ”
“That’s it, two from the mainland, one from Xiangjiang, and one from Benzhou. "
Tian Ming pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Zhou Yutang's slightly startled expression, "It's good for unity. What do you think of the specific candidates?"
It is worthy of being cultivated by a big family. The talents who came out have this kind of ideological consciousness. If you don’t come up, who will?
Zhou Yutang admired him very much and suggested, "As for the mentor, he must have a certain degree of popularity and high moral standing. From the mainland, you can invite Liu Huan, Princess, Heung Kong Chan Yixun or Zhang Xueyou, if you want to save money, it is best to hire Jay Chou. If you take a step back, Harlem will be good at stirring up the atmosphere. ”
“The princess has retired from the entertainment industry, and she will still come out to do shows”
“Just throw money at it. If millions are not enough, then throw in 10 million. I really don’t believe her.” If you don't want to be moved, if you really don't eat the fireworks of the world, then invite someone else. ”
Zhou Yutang disagrees.
Money is still very valuable these days.
The endorsement fees of superstars like Fa Ge and Liu Dehua from Tianchao Xiangjiang No more than 10 million a year.
"Spicy English"
"This is not very good, the reputation is enough, but the background is too complicated and it is easy to cause problems. If that doesn’t work, just ask Mao Amin, one of the most famous celebrities in the music industry in the 1990s. When it comes to ratings, I want all three generations of the old, middle and young people to kill her.”this. "
Tian Ming pushed up his glasses and said happily, "Ah Tang, when the time comes, I will talk to the TV station about the name of our program first."
"Just say yes." Voice, a good voice from heaven. ”
“This name is good”
Tian Ming was very excited. He seemed to have seen the huge potential of this show.
Zhou Yutang looked calm.
I just said silently in my heart.
