Chapter 168: The Beauty Shocked, Let the Bullets Fly
Zhou Yutang’s lone agent Dugu Bubai didn’t feel lonely for long.
Another super blockbuster is coming.
Transformers 2, released at the end of June, finally allowed everyone to see the horror of Hollywood movies.
The premiere directly earned 33.8 million box office, and the box office exceeded 100 million in 4 days of release.
It directly exceeded 200 million in 8 days of release, and beat Titanic in 13 days of release.
The domestic blockbusters Rally, Painted Skin, and If You Are the One that stood in front of him were unable to stop the ferocious offensive of Transformers 2.
Beheaded one after another.
Invincible
Within a few weeks of the movie’s release, it even accounted for more than 90% of the total box office of major theaters. When it was close to being released, the total box office had reached 44.5 billion, ranking second only to Zhou Yutang's Lonely Agent, ranking second on China's annual box office list.
The entire entertainment industry was shocked.
It even caused quite a stir in Hollywood.
Several large film companies over there have raised the importance of the Chinese film market to another level.
This year, there was first the film "Alone" which exceeded 500 million, and then the "Transformers 2", which shows that the potential and development of the film market in China have exceeded their expectations.
Big Dog is very excited. The wild box office of Transformers 2 proves that the special effects path he has always insisted on is not wrong. He is planning to make another trip to the United States to take people to inspect the special effects company. After the dog brother chatted, Zhou Yutang received another call from Han Sanping
"Yu Tang, if it weren't for your lone agent, this year would be really suspenseful."
Mr. Han's tone I was also a little lucky.
Recently, he has been scolded as a sitting eagle, said to be luring wolves into the house.
I never expected that this Hollywood movie would explode with such great energy.
If it weren’t for Zhou Yutang blocking the way, none of the domestic films would be able to win this year.
Now that I think about it.
Zhou Yutang is really ruthless.
Not only did it knock out Lu Chuan's Nanjing during the May 1st release, but it also strongly suppressed the Hollywood blockbuster Wolverine, which was released at the same time as Agents, causing the latter's box office to only exceed 60 million.
"It will get better and better in the future."
"By the way, the founding of the People's Republic of China is scheduled for National Day. Come to the premiere then. Have you finished filming your movie?"
"It can be done within three weeks."
"That's fine, come over in two days, I have new tea here"
After finishing Han Sanping's On the phone, Zhou Yutang felt Yu Feihong's arm touching him in his arms,
"I was just talking about Transformers with Han Sanping"
"Well, this movie is a bit cruel."
While on the set, I took the time to go to the cinema with Liu Yifei to watch it again. Zhou Yutang’s deepest impression was not thatThe transformed Autobot is Megan Fox at her peak appearance, which is really amazing.
"Sister Feihong, do you want to go and see it together?"
"I'm not going, I'm not in the mood lately."
Yu Feihong sighed quietly, Zhou Yutang He patted this sister's shoulder to comfort her, "It's okay. Good things come in hard times. I'm here."
He took a leave of absence from the crew of Star Ni this time and arranged to film scenes with Yang Mi, Wang Kai and others first. , because Yu Feihong’s love has an afterlife.
After Zhou Yutang was invited to watch the finished film, the overall impression was okay.
The script has been revised and is still literary and artistic, but the plot details are relatively complete compared to the original version, and the logic of the entire film is more reasonable.
But there are still some surprises in this movie.
Originally, the movie was scheduled to be released on July 28. However, just a few days ago, after the first batch of copies were developed, the color and light did not meet the requirements at all.
"How to solve it now?"
"I have had several meetings with StarMicro. The solution there is to copy and re-produce, adjust the publicity plan, and then postpone the movie to about It will be released in mid-to-late September."
"It's better not to wait until then."
Zhou Yutang shook his head, "This year's National Day release, the three blockbusters "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", "Wheat Field" and "The Sound of Wind". Especially Mr. Han’s founding of the People’s Republic of China will have a very high film schedule, and other films will have to give way.”
“Yu Tang, what about your suggestions?”
Yu Feihong looked expectantly Looking at Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang thought for a while and made a decisive decision: "Copy and re-make, and then shorten the promotion period as much as possible, and it will be released by the end of August at the latest."
"Well, I listen to you "
Yu Feihong rested her head lightly on Zhou Yutang's generous shoulder.
The beauty who is usually intellectually mature is now as obedient and obedient as a cat.
I can smell the orchid fragrance on her body.
Zhou Yutang suddenly felt restless in his heart.
It is noon on the day of hoeing.
After the storm.
I was dragged to the dinner party by Yu Feihong.
"Yu Tang, Lao Jiang has wanted to know you for a long time."
The radiant Yu Feihong drove the car with a smile on his face, "He thinks very highly of you. He said several times, "Let me introduce you to him."
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said, "I have been fascinated by him for a long time."
Sister Yu Feihong said. Jiang Wen’s old ginger is Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen is indeed a very capable person.
His first film Sunny Day was hailed as a masterpiece by many fans.
It may be an exaggeration, but it is definitely one of the rare movies whose adaptations surpass the original work. It has won numerous awards since its release, and was even ranked first among the top ten Chinese films of 1995 by Time Magazine.
This is a representative player who reached his peak right after his debut.
It’s just that sometimes life is full of ups and downs.fall.
Afterwards, director Jiang Wen’s The Devils Are Coming was banned, and his 30 million investment was wasted. As a result, he himself was banned from directing for 5 years.
During this period, he went to Lu Chuan's gun-hunting crew and used crazy output, making Lu Tailang cry and making him laugh for a while.
After finally surviving these five years, Jiang Wen probably wanted to use The Sun Also Rises to express the intense emotions that had accumulated in his heart for a long time and to announce his return to the entire Chinese film industry.
Reality poured cold water on him.
This movie is probably about the failure of idealists and the victory of realists. Perhaps the filming technique is too advanced, and as a result, not many people can understand the movie
Although this The movie has good ratings online, but the box office is quite dismal. With an investment of about 60 million, the total box office was less than 18 million. It can be said that the investors lost money to the point of vomiting blood.
Hot Knowledge The original investor in this film was Yinghuang boss Yang Shoucheng.
Jiang Wen was very honest and told Boss Yang that this movie was a literary film and could not make money. Boss Yang was also very interesting. He probably appreciated Jiang Wen’s talent and invested in this movie. The key is that he lost money. , Boss Yang didn't take it to heart and still maintained close contact with Jiang Wen.
"Finally see you, Yu Tang."
The box door opened and his eyes turned around the two people who walked in side by side. Jiang Wen grinned. He took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Zhou Yutang, "I have always heard Lao Yu talk about you. The opinions you gave her on the script were very pertinent and very good."
Zhou Yutang said modestly, " Teacher Jiang was very complimentary, so I just mentioned it casually."
"Don't do this, you have such a good relationship with Feihong, just call me Lao Jiang."
Jiang. Wen doesn't put on any airs and has a bold and generous style. "I also watched your movies in those years. It was a sentimental work. The Lonely Agent made my blood boil. The filming was really good."
"Brother Wen Not even close."
"Look, you are so humble, let me touch you first."
"I'll give you a drink."
"Come again. ”
After three rounds of drinking.
With Yu Feihong as the intermediary, one greeted everyone with a smile and the other wanted to make friends, and the atmosphere at the table gradually became warmer.
Zhou Yutang knew that Jiang Wen had been laying the groundwork for a long time, and seemed to have something to say, so he put down his wine glass and took the initiative to ask, "Brother Wen asked Sister Feihong to bring me here today. Do you have any advice?"
Zhou Yutang has a good impression of Jiang Wen. In addition to appreciating his personal abilities, Jiang Wen also scolded Lu Chuan on the Internet because of his recent battle with Taro Lu Chuan.
As long as you scold Lu Chuan, then everyone will be friends.
When they met for the first time, Zhou Yutang was quite polite in his words.
"Don't give me any advice."
Jiang Wen waved his hand, "My movie box office combined is not as high as yours. Mainly because I have something to ask you."
Yu Feihong put down his chopsticks.
The expression was slightly surprised.
Jiang Wen is the most central figure in the Beijing circle, and he can be considered a genius. He is sought after by countless people. He naturally has his arrogance, and it is rare to see him lower his profile like this.
"Brother Wen, tell me."
Zhou Yutang also acted as if he was all ears.
This person is so unique. He is the character who competes with Zhang Yimou and directly scolds Lu Chuan.
"I have a question, how do you grasp the market when you are in the film and television industry?"
Jiang Wen scratched his head and finally threw out his doubts.
Yu Feihong’s eyes also turned around, with a hint of curiosity.
This is actually a question that countless people in the circle want to study.
Since I Want to Meet You, Let’s Get Married, Those Years, Hidden, and Went to School Together, other works have gained good reputations and have all become hits.
There are even some phenomenal hits among them.
What does this mean?
It shows that Zhou Yutang really holds a key to ratings as Ouyang Changlin said.
In other words, Zhou Yutang knows what those audiences want to see.
Jiang Wen is also very curious about this issue.
Everyone will have a period of confusion when they fail, and will doubt their ability and judgment to some extent.
He really wanted to find out what Zhou Yutang was thinking.
He loves movies. If he wants to continue making movies, he must at least not lose money. Otherwise, even if investors are willing to invest, he will feel bad about it.
“In fact, I just have some immature ideas about this issue, and I just want to share it with you, Brother Wen.”
“You kid, don’t talk about this. "
Jiang Wen said speechlessly.
Zhou Yutang behaved very calmly and casually in front of him, but he had a calm demeanor that was not commensurate with his current age.
His words and deeds are impeccable. No wonder he was praised by both Han Sanping and Boss Yang at the same time.
"Just say it."
Yu Feihong also patted Zhou Yutang's arm gently and smiled sweetly.
Jiang Wen's eyes moved between the two of them, and he understood something instantly.
"That's it, Brother Wen."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said, "I think that after the marketization of movies, everyone's movie viewing level is actually still at a very low stage. If you want to use some advanced techniques such as light and shadow and plot allusion to make a film with a strong artistic theme, many viewers may not understand it."
"To put it simply, the audience's brain waves cannot receive the director. If the two sides don’t match the signals released, then the box office of this movie will naturally not be very satisfactory.”
“It’s interesting.”
Jiang Wen nodded thoughtfully. “It’s about lowering the threshold for watching movies as much as possible.”
"How to lower the threshold for watching movies?"
Yu Feihong couldn't help but ask.
She actually suffered a disadvantage in this movie, Virgo Love Is Afterlife.
The film is too young and the threshold for viewing is high. Those who can get it will feel that it is very high-end, but those who can’t get it will feel that the filming is foggy.
She knew it in her heart, but the filming was finished and there was no way to change it.
“The simplest thing is to make the lines and plot as straightforward as possible, but in the directness, the plot and lines can express one’s own thoughts implicitly, form a dramatic conflict, and provoke the audience. "I understand what you said, and I'll toast you three times."
A look of surprise appeared on Jiang Wen's face, and he drank the wine quickly. Three cups.
Put down the glass.
When he looked at Zhou Yutang again, his expression was completely different from before.
It is definitely not luck that this young man has reached where he is today.
Zhou Yutang also accompanied us for three cups.
“Don’t drink too quickly.”
Yu Feihong felt a little happy when she saw Jiang Wen’s expression, and gently rubbed Zhou Yutang with her calf under the table, showing concern. road.
The good brother in her heart can be respected by Jiang Wen, and she feels the same in her heart. Doesn't this prove that she has a good vision?
After drinking enough, Jiang Wen took out a stack of paper from the side and said, "Yu Tang, I have a notebook in my hand. Please read it for me."
"Let me see. Look."
Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly.
Take the script and read it.
Gradually fascinated.
The background of the script is set in the Beiyang period.
It tells the story of the gangster Zhang Mazi who transformed into an upright official, Ma Bondang, took up the post of Echeng County Magistrate, and fought against the Echeng bullies
Seeing Zhou Yutang’s serious expression, it was almost over. , Jiang Wen couldn't help but asked "How is it?"
"What's the name of this book?"
"The name has not been chosen, so I changed it to The Thief of Officials. I first made a synopsis of the story. There’s no head start”
“There must be”
Zhou Yutang’s heart moved slightly and he took the initiative to ask, “Brother Wen, have you finished the investment?”
“Not yet. , you have an idea"
"I can cast in this drama of yours"
"I have lost tens of millions in several dramas, you dare to cast in this"
< p>Jiang Wen seemed a little unbelievable.Yu Feihong also had a slightly anxious look in her beautiful eyes, and gently touched Zhou Yutang's leg with her long leg.
Meaning.
Calm down and don’t get carried away.
Although she is friends with Jiang Wen, her relationship with Zhou Yutang is even closer.
Sister Yu was afraid that Zhou Yutang would make irrational decisions due to drinking.
"I think you have this ability."
Zhou Yutang gently patted Yu Feihong's hand and raised his hand.Bei chuckled and said, "Brother Wen, please make a notebook first. We will discuss the cost budget slowly when the time comes. I dare not say more. Tens of millions will definitely be no problem."
The company has purchased the building here. , excluding the investment in several dramas, there is still more than 30 million in the account.
The webcast rights for the second and third seasons of Classmate and the second and third rounds can bring in at least eight figures of income.
What’s more, Agent’s box office share is over 100 million, The Voice is also attracting money like crazy, and the variety show layout is gradually spreading to Asia. Zhou Yutang’s Jiangdong Entertainment can definitely be called the cash king.
"It's a deal"
Jiang Wen raised his glass excitedly, drank it all in one gulp, grinned and said happily, "Brother, you are open-minded enough, I heard what you said. Just feel comfortable, why don't you give this book a name?"
