Entertainment: I really want to make progress

The crystal chandelier cast a swaying amber light on the wall.

It is also reflected in every face full of joy.

In the banquet hall, cheers were like waves, one after another.

The crowds were surging and the life was extravagant and decadent.

Zhou Yutang at this time.

His gaze, with a hint of admiration, was already fixed on Wen Yongshan in front of him.

I don’t know if it was the champagne or the perfume she was wearing, but the fragrance filled my face.

Wen Yongshan just stood there with a smile on her face.

Her black hair was carefully tied up.

There was a rose hairpin in her hair, and a few strands of hair fell on her fair cheeks.

Paired with a red silk cheongsam.

The waistline is perfectly cinched, outlining her figure exquisitely, and the slit extends all the way to the thigh.

Her stunning fair skin was inadvertently revealed, and her beautiful legs were wrapped in ultra-thin flesh-colored stockings.

The black high heels with red soles tapped the ground, and dark ripples appeared on the hem of the cheongsam.

This woman is like a bright rose.

Where lights and shadows intersect, it quietly blooms with its own style and charm.

Many of her wonderful clips in the movie have been uploaded to Bilibili, Douyin, and various forums, making her quite popular.

As early as the movie premiere, Wen Yongshan wanted to ask Zhou Yutang out.

But at that time there was a sister standing next to him, and the intimidation was too strong, so he had to give up.

Later, he was on a full schedule promoting the movie, and was so busy that he had no chance to meet in person.

At today's celebration banquet, I finally met Governor Zhou in person.

"Cheers, Mr. Zhou."

At this time, Wen Yongshan was holding a glass of champagne in his hand.

The golden wine swayed gently in the goblet, shattering the shadow of the crystal lamp and creating layers of charming halos.

"Congratulations, the box office is a big hit. The cheongsam you're wearing tonight really suits your temperament."

A slight smile appeared on Zhou Yutang's lips.

As warm as the spring sun, he raised his glass towards her.

"I should be the one saying this to you. All the money has been earned by Mr. Zhou."

Wen Yongshan raised the glass with her elbow, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sweet smile.

I don’t know if it was Zhou Yutang’s illusion.

The tone of voice of Hong Kong girls when speaking always has a soft and sweet charm at the end.

"Besides, I have so few parts."

Zhou Yutang shook his head slightly and said with a smile.

Then he clinked glasses with her.

The crisp sound of wine glasses colliding shattered the floating light.

At this time, King Guo next to him also came over with a smile on his face and greeted him warmly: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou."

He only had Zhou Yutang in his eyes. Seeing Wen Yongshan next to him, he smiled and said, "Ashan, what a coincidence."

The Hong Kong entertainment industry is not big to begin with, and everyone sees each other every day, so naturally they know each other.

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Wen Yongshan smiled sweetly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Guo, on your wedding."

Zhou Yutang and Aaron Kwok patted each other on the shoulders familiarly.

It seems that after getting married, King Guo has gained a lot of energy and looks a few years younger.

It may also be that people feel refreshed when something happy happens.

King Guo just got married last month, and this month the good news of Fang Yuan’s pregnancy came out.

He even specially booked a maternity package worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for his wife. He can be said to be very proud and full of happiness.

The two chatted and laughed, and Wen Yongshan leaned close and whispered something in Zhou Yutang's ear.

King Guo seemed to sense something and glanced subconsciously, just in time to see Wen Yongshan, who was standing next to Zhou Yutang, laughing with her hands covering her mouth.

He also reached out and gently patted Zhou Yutang's arm.

Looking into the eyes of the man beside her, it seemed as if a thin silk thread was pulled out.

"Boss Zhou, Director Yang over there is calling me. I'll go over first."

King Guo is also an intelligent person. After a few pleasantries, he understood what was meant and left.

But since Zhou Yutang appeared in such an occasion, he was destined to not be able to keep quiet.

Then, Liu Tianwang, Yuzhou Dan, Lin Feng and others came over to toast.

Wen Yongshan was by his side.

She really enjoyed the feeling of standing next to Zhou Yutang.

Or say.

Enjoy this moment as Governor Zhou's woman.

She felt indescribably happy listening to those glamorous stars spouting flattering words that even she found corny.

“When will the new play start shooting?”

The bustle in the banquet hall was still going on, so they found a secluded place to talk and Zhou Yutang took a half step closer.

Wen Yongshan also took on the TV version of "The Whistleblower" this year.

At that time, Huayi was at its peak, and the movie "The Sound of Wind" pioneered the spy war movie and caused a sensation.

It is only natural to adapt it into a TV series, just like "33 Days of Broken Love" and "Du Lala's Promotion".

This year's Tencent drama is already the second edition.

However, in the movie version, Zhou Gongzi plays with Li Lianhua, while this year's TV series version stars Wen Yongshan and Meng Ziyi.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for your concern. It will probably start filming next month."

Wen Yongshan smiled and said, "The little girl in your company is quite interesting."

"You two know each other well?"

"The director held a meeting, and we talked a few times."

Champagne bubbles burst on the tip of her tongue. Wen Yongshan smiled sweetly, but seemed a little drunk and accidentally bumped into Zhou Yutang's arms.

The emerald earrings on her crystal earlobes gently hit his jaw.

Seeing Zhou Yutang's Adam's apple moving, Wen Yongshan felt proud and apologized: "Oh, I drank a little too much tonight."

This female spy is really capable.

"Why do you drink so much?"

Governor Zhou, who had been in the brothel for a long time, reached out and supported Wen Yongshan's delicate body.

The cuff of the suit brushed the outside of her arm and slowly moved back, finally stopping at her slender waist.

A gentleness with a hint of provocation.

It doesn't go beyond the rules, but it makes people's heart beat faster just right.

Letting his profound aura flow over the stand-up collar of her cheongsam, Wen Yongshan suddenly felt an inexplicable restlessness surge in her heart.

Even her voice unconsciously became more charming: "If we don't get drunk at the celebration party, how can we justify the 1 billion box office?"

The movement of her eyes is like a rose blooming in the dark night, emitting fatal temptation.

Another glass of champagne went down their throats, and their eyes met.

It was as if the whole world had quieted down.

The hustle and bustle around us gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeats.

Sometimes, it doesn't take many words, just a simple physical touch.

It is worth more than a thousand words.

You understand my ill intentions, and I understand your reluctance to accept.

Zhou Yutang put his arms around the beauty's slender waist and walked straight towards the hotel's internal elevator.

Coincidentally, tonight's celebration banquet will be held at the Dynasty Hotel.

Zhou Yutang happened to have a long-term reserved room in the hotel.

It is my duty to take care of this Hong Kong girl who can't drink much but still wants to improve herself and study the script in depth.

But the Hong Kong girl with rosy cheeks and a little tipsy looked like a lazy cat.

As soon as she entered the room, she leaned on Zhou Yutang.

The beautiful legs wrapped in stockings were caught in her hands, and Wen Yongshan said coquettishly, "You only know how to bully people."

With big misty eyes and a bit of drunkenness, she started to unbutton her clothes, but Zhou Yutang gently pushed them down.

"No need to take it off, keep it on."

The news of the celebration party for "Chasing the Dragon" was listed on the entertainment headlines of major portals.

The box office has successfully exceeded 1 billion, which is a remarkable achievement and we are certainly happy about it.

But it is not necessarily true that it will remain the box office champion during the May Day holiday.

It was not "Shock Wave" or "The Great Hypnotist" that achieved a stunning comeback.

As for the domestic films such as "Love You" and "Love in the Buff" released at the same time, they can't even compare to it.

What is really unexpected is that Dangal, which was released after the May Day holiday, is like a dark horse, with its box office rising against the trend and making steady progress.

After exceeding 1 billion, "Chasing the Dragon" has fully realized its box office potential and can no longer continue.

However, this movie from India still grossed over 40 million in a single day, which is quite impressive.

On the 20th, a miracle happened.

The box office revenue on that day exceeded 100 million, and its dynamic box office forecast also soared to 1.3 billion, which is simply amazing!

In comparison, the Hollywood Marvel blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" was released at the same time.

Against the backdrop of the strong momentum of "Dangal", it seemed a little dull and dull when it was directly pressed to the ground and crushed.

Wanda, in the conference room.

Lao Wang sat at the head seat at the conference table with a calm expression.

He listened quietly to the reports from Liu Xiaobing, Zeng Maojun and others, frowning from time to time and falling into deep thought.

"What is the minimum guarantee for this project?"

"Jiangdong hasn't made any announcement, but I heard from a friend at a dinner party last time that the price is between 500,000 and 600,000 US dollars at most."

"His vision is really amazing."

Lao Wang nodded slightly and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

If I had a son, I would want him to be like Zhou Yutang!

Thinking about his only son, who was rumored to be hanging out with some young models in nightclubs, Lao Wang felt upset:

"Wanda also has a share in the summer blockbuster Wolf Warriors 2, right?"

"Yes, but not much."

Zeng Maojun responded.

"When the time comes, you guys can make the arrangements."

Lao Wang's fingers tapped the table rhythmically, making a crisp sound.

"The above policy will come out in August at the latest and will restrict overseas investment in real estate, hotels, cinemas, etc.

Now the group needs to change direction and adopt a light asset strategy."

Listening to Wanda’s Lao Wang’s speech, Liu Xiaobing, Zeng Maojun, and other senior executives in the conference room all looked somewhat solemn.

From the outside, Wanda seems to be booming.

In fact, it is also facing a capital chain crisis.

"The domestic film and television market has grown, and it will get better and better in the future. The configuration of the entertainment industry is the top priority."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After a pause, Lao Wang continued calmly, "Don't be too ambitious and blindly pursue big projects. In the future, when investing in film and television, you should pay more attention to the developments in Jiangdong."

The water in the film and television industry is deep, and it is easy to drown if you step in.

But if you cross the river by feeling the stones and copy Zhou Yutang's homework, the margin for error is high.

"In terms of insight and judgment in the film and television industry, no one in China can match him."

Lao Wang has been in the business world for decades and has become the richest man in China. How can he be a simple person?

Liu Xiaobing, Zeng Maojun and other senior executives have full confidence in his decision.

Governor Zhou was already accustomed to his high reputation.

Lao Wang seldom praises others on weekdays.

But within the group, Zhou Yutang has been highly praised and valued more than once.

This time, "Chasing the Dragon" is a project jointly undertaken by Jiangdong and Yinghuang.

Dangal, which has taken off both at the box office and in terms of word of mouth, was distributed by Maoyan.

Maoyan is the leading ticketing platform and is also a subsidiary of Jiangdong.

That's why we made use of Jiangdong Group's resources and channels and went all out in marketing and promotion.

The topic fermented from social media, covering all audience groups and attracting countless attention.

As an important strategic ally of Jiangdong, Wanda’s own film “The Great Hypnotist” failed to meet expectations at the box office.

I just went with the flow and gave my teammates a hand.

Good wind will help it soar to the sky.

The most important thing is that it also disgusted Huayi.

Because the film "Dangal" was not originally in the hands of Maoyan.

The initial importer was Peacock Pictures, which helped Indian films such as "3 Idiots" and "My God" enter the Chinese market.

This year, Huayi, through a series of capital operations, has strongly acquired a stake in Huaying Tianxia, ​​with General Manager Ye Ning in charge, which shows that he has a keen vision.

Huaying had locked in Dangal in advance, but when it was ready to hand it in, Jiang Dong entered the game and snatched it away.

At that time, Zhou Yutang had some friendship with Ye Ning.

But now that we are in a different position, we will naturally not give up our own interests.

In the final analysis, it is because the Indian film and television companies are as cunning as devils and have their feet on several boats.

On one side is the fierce tiger from Jiangdong, and on the other side is a skinny old dragon.

I know which leg to hold with my eyes closed.

After this operation, Zhou Yutang made a fortune, but Huayi got nothing.

Many people in the industry are watching the fun.

Watch this battle between the new and old leaders.

The Tiger of Jiangdong forced the old dragon's head down.

******

Since the failure of "The Great Wall", poet Chen has been at the center of public opinion for a long time.

The failure of this film dealt him a heavy blow both commercially and critically.

If it were an ordinary director, I'm afraid there would be no such person.

But it is supported by "Farewell My Concubine", which left a significant mark in the history of film.

It can feed poet Chen for the rest of his life.

Inside and outside the circle, many people's eyes are still focused on Brother Chen Kai.

And the "Legend of the Demon Cat", which he had been preparing for a long time and intended to fully depict the elegance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Poet Chen has been silent and low-key during this period. Apart from contributing the famous meme "Arthur, please take a seat", he has not made any noise.

Finally, he was no longer willing to be lonely and made a big splash in Cannes.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival.

As a former winner of the Palme d'Or, Chen Kaige is naturally a guest of honor at Cannes.

This time, he brought Diao Chan and Arthur, as well as his new movie "Legend of the Demon Cat" to Cannes to increase the popularity.

“The Cannes re-screening of Farewell My Concubine attracted a packed house and thunderous applause!”

"Investing 1.6 billion to build the Tangcheng Film and Television Base, the shocking trailer of "Legend of the Demon Cat" is here, and the stills of the leading actors Huang Xuan and Sometani Shota are released!"

For a time, domestic and foreign media followed up with reports.

Poet Chen made a big appearance and spoke eloquently during a media interview: "Senior artists must have the ability to reflect on themselves.

To make a movie, you need to calm down, concentrate on your creation, and work tirelessly. You can't always appear in front of the public frequently.

For me, making works that cater to and please the audience is like forcing a good woman into prostitution. Once you step into this "brothel", it is difficult to turn back.

America was able to produce a Salinger, who wrote "The Catcher in the Rye", which became a symbol of the rebellious spirit of American youth in the 1960s and 1970s.

If China's film industry is to achieve real progress and create conditions for diversified development, the key lies in the emergence of a group of young audiences with a rebellious spirit.

I am looking forward to their appearance and their continuous improvement in aesthetic taste.

We always insist on making high-quality movies, firmly believe that content is king, and will not blindly compete with others in box office. This is the greatest respect for the audience..."

After retiring, Mr. Han San came to the Jiangdong Building to check on the post-production of "Dying to Survive".

When I mentioned this during a casual chat, I commented mercilessly: "This is just whining without any reason. You are almost eliminated by the market, and all you have left is a bunch of complaints."

"Boss Han, your words are so hurtful."

"That's the truth."

"Ha ha."

Zhou Yutang took a look at the preview photos of "Legend of the Demon Cat".

I have to admit that the picture is magnificent and visually impactful.

This is indeed Brother Chen Kai’s style.

But whether it can prove itself remains to be tested by the market.

Zhou Yutang did not agree with what Chen Kai said.

Many directors of the older generation always blame their inability to keep up with the times on the audience’s backward aesthetic tastes.

However, a key factor has been overlooked: film and television works that can truly stand out must be in line with current mainstream values.

If they cannot make movies that will be liked by the current market audience, doesn’t it mean that they have been abandoned by the times?

The times abandon a person without even saying hello.

Mr. Han Sanye, a retired old man who often strolls around the Jiangdong Building, has a deep understanding of this.

The core age structure of the entire Jiangdong system basically does not include Lao Deng.

Governor Zhou, the helmsman of Jiangdong Entertainment.

He is not even thirty years old this year, but he has already achieved such remarkable achievements.

Comrade Lao Han is looking forward to seeing how far he will go in the future.

"You're not going to Cannes this time?"

"I'll forget it. There are too many things to do."

The Cannes organizing committee sent an invitation letter in advance, but Zhou Yutang had to do the post-production of "Dying to Survive" while also being busy promoting "Snow".

Moreover, preparations for the sequel to "Snow" are also progressing.

The whole schedule is packed and there is no time at all.

Even though Teacher Fan tried all kinds of ways to seduce Zhou Yutang, he still resisted the temptation and did not go to Cannes.

Men, never let the small head control the big head.

Just do the math and you'll know.

There are no direct flights from Beijing to Cannes, and you need to transfer along the way.

Including the flight and car time, the one-way trip takes about 14 hours.

In this way, a round trip takes 28 hours.

The key point is that I don’t have any films to participate in the exhibition, and in the past I have only participated in various meaningless social activities.

With this time, Zhou Yutang can first taste the sweetness of honey, and then find time to arrange a romantic dinner with Zhang Ruolan.

However, although he did not go to Cannes, his work "Red Ling", as the winner of the Palme d'Or at the 67th Cannes International Film Festival, was selected into the screening series of this year's 70th anniversary of Cannes.

The organizing committee was given free authorization and its popularity is not low.

Teacher Fan was participating in the film review work in Cannes and sent Zhou Yutang a photo of the scene.

Three years later, the seats were still full. Teacher Fan's tone was more sour than eating a plum.

"When they were filming Red Ling, why didn't they think of asking me to act in it? I don't want any pay."

Not only do I not have to pay for the film, I can also warm my bed at night.

"Have you forgotten? That year you took on four movies at once. How could you have time for that?"

In fact, "Red Ling" was tailor-made for Sister Li, but this cannot be said directly, it has to be said in a tactful way.

"How can it be so exaggerated that he has accepted four films..."

Teacher Fan is still being stubborn.

“Iron Man 3, The White-Haired Witch, The Woman in the Frame, One Night Surprise.”

Zhou Yutang had an excellent memory and without any hesitation, he knew everything by heart.

"Then I don't care."

It would have been better if she didn't say anything. Once she mentioned it, Teacher Fan got very angry and couldn't help complaining, "That lousy tin man cut out all my scenes."

Being unreasonable and unreasonable are basic skills engraved in women's genes.

Of course, in order to maintain the stability of the fish pond, you still have to coax it when necessary.

The video call lasted for more than half an hour. Governor Zhou had to go to the company, and Teacher Fan hung up the video reluctantly.

Suddenly I felt a little empty, so I checked the domestic news for a while and saw the popular "Ode to Joy 2".

Teacher Fan suddenly felt restless.

It was like a wildfire that just started burning.

Zeng Li can go, and so can I.

Zeng Li can give birth to a child for Governor Zhou, so there is no reason why she can't.

Moreover, her butt is bigger than hers, so she will definitely give birth to a son.

Women in Shandong Province are never inferior to others in their lives. They are so willful.
