The Chinese entertainment industry is calm in November.
There was a great uproar in the American entertainment industry in November.
However, all this has not spread to the country.
After all, Han Zhou, the big daddy, has been doing so many things in the United States, and everyone seems to have gradually gotten used to having Chinese and overseas Chinese becoming famous abroad.
Moreover, in recent years, some similar people have become extremely popular on the Internet.
For example, just in October, a young Chinese man living in Canada invented ASMR, commonly known as intracranial orgasm. In just one week, it became popular all over the world.
It has defeated almost the entire traditional sleep aid market.
Domestic media generally don’t report this kind of news, it’s just a trivial matter.
but.
In December, the wind gradually became louder.
At the end of December, a piece of news successfully topped the Weibo hot search list.
#domestic director tops global box office list of horror films#
This news is shocking enough.
In fact, as early as that day in the United States, film critics there were already shocked.
Many people in the industry have predicted that New World's new movie "Death Comes" will definitely break the historical box office record of horror films.
Historical box office records may sound scary, but in fact they are quite unpredictable.
To put it simply, whoever releases movies such as "Dead Man", "Saw" and "Silent Hill" first will get the current highest box office record for horror films.
What happens later will naturally break this record.
Don't think that those who released later will make money. The problem is inflation. When it was released first, the box office might be more valuable.
In fact, it took two months for "Death Comes" to be released in North America.
From Halloween until Christmas, it will break the historical record.
The key is that Chen Dayong is penniless in the United States.
If fans hadn't initially gone to see the film because it was written by Han Zhou, it would have been stillborn, let alone a record-breaking one.
The domestic media did not pay attention to the process, and did not pay attention to the predictions of foreign industry insiders that "Death is Coming" would break the record. They waited for the official record to be broken, and then rushed to release the news.
And this news naturally became a hot search topic.
"The well-known domestic photographer Chen Dayong moved to Hollywood to direct and shoot the horror film "Death Comes", which grossed a box office of 190 million, breaking the global historical horror film box office record, and his debut film topped Hollywood!"
Wei Yuan's liver ached after seeing this news.
In the beginning, Wei Yuan, Chen Dayong, and Han Zhou worked together on "Hello Mr. Tree" and they all had a good relationship.
Because of this movie, Wang Xiya returned the favor and invited Wei Yuan to join the Tianle Group, and also funded him to shoot a movie.
Who knows, although I didn't lose money, I didn't make any money, either in terms of money or reputation.
On the contrary, Chen Dayong was a free man because he could not find a new employer. He eventually joined the New World, hung out with Han Zhou, and made a movie with Han Zhou's script. As a result, his debut film directly broke the world record!
Wei Yuan: Your mother, filming Lao Han's script, isn't this a simple mode and is it cheating...
Wei Yuan is envious!
But Wei Yuan actually has nothing to envy, because Wang Xiya spent 20 million in signing fees to lure him to sign the contract.
What does this amount of money mean to domestic screenwriters?
Many well-known TV and movie screenwriters in China cannot afford to buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Wei Yuan sat in the villa and envied Chen Dayong for eating and sleeping outside and living like dirt in the United States without relatives or friends.
The most irritating thing is that Chen Dayong sent a message to Wei Yuan: "Wow hahahaha, have you seen the news? Have you seen it? I know you have seen it. Speak, speak quickly!"
When the filming of Mr. Shu was completed, the friendship between Wei Yuan, Chen Dayong and Han Zhou could be said to have reached its peak.
The two often joke with each other and get angry with each other, and they both want to become directors.
Now that Chen Dayong is here, he naturally wants to make fun of Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan responded happily: "We will soon enter Hollywood on a large scale. There will be a lot of work then, and I will also get Lao Han's script."
Chen Dayong: "Oh, Lao Han is a straightforward person, but it's like ordering takeout. My takeout arrived first. You should be hungry for a while, hahahaha."
It is impossible for New World to produce all of Han Zhou's scripts, and New World alone cannot gain a firm foothold in Hollywood and challenge today's five or nine major film companies.
Therefore, Han Zhou wanted to film it himself, but also let Tianle film it, and let Universal China film it.
Isn’t it good to sit back and wait to get paid? Of course it’s a good thing.
Weibo soon became lively.
Some netizens suddenly discovered a blind spot: "By the way, "Lord of War" filmed by Han Zhou in Hollywood only had a global box office of 70 million. Whose general is Chen Dayong, and he is actually more powerful than Han Zhou?"
"Did Han Zhou make a movie in Hollywood? Why wasn't it released in China?"
It would be great if Lord of War could be released in China.
This was originally about the filming of the Bear Country and the United States, and what was being filmed was the arms trade. This kind of topic, let alone the shallow review system, even if there is no review system, it is impossible for it to be brought to the big screen in China.
.
This is not a matter of review or not, but an issue that can easily lead to international conflicts.
Everyone knows that New World is a Chinese company and has made such a movie. If it is allowed to be broadcast in China and push up the global box office, then after its influence expands, won't it help the United States to obtain arms orders?
At the national level, movies are just a small business, but they delay big things.
Many people are also analyzing the reasons and saying that "Lord of War" is super good-looking.
But many people are wondering, why is it that Super Good-looking has never been promoted, nor has Han Zhou said it himself, nor has it had a high box office?
In fact, when Han Zhou started filming "Lord of War", it was not for the box office. Just like when he filmed "Mr. Hello Tree", "Lord of War" was basically on the verge of losing money in its previous life.
If arms dealers hadn't helped, it would have been a loss.
But there is no denying that this is a movie that ranks high in film history.
On the one hand, Han Zhou filmed it to fulfill the requirements of arms dealer Yuri.
On the one hand, it is to accumulate reputation.
Foreign movie fans are not stupid. At first, this movie was basically invisible in theaters in the United States, so many people didn't know about it.
But as half a year passed, more and more people discovered that actor Coppola and Han Zhou actually collaborated on a movie, so they went to watch it online.
After reading it, I was shocked.
Won’t the reward come now?
It was just a movie written by Han Zhou and directed by a director whom Americans didn't know at all. From the beginning, it maintained the trend of breaking the historical record of horror films, and then it really broke the record, although it only broke a little.
But come on, the original record was a special effects blockbuster that cost 60 million to shoot.
The film Death Comes cost more than six million US dollars.
Including hair style and publicity, it's only 14 million US dollars, which is a huge profit.
Under the news, many Han Zhou fans were discussing. Suddenly, someone started:
"Han Zhou can't do it either. The Chinese film has the highest box office in history. Why can't "Kung Fu" be sold abroad? On the contrary, Chen Dayong doesn't like to brag, so it broke the world record."
"Hey, celebrities, who doesn't like to brag? If you have the ability, go out for a walk."
"Le, if Han Zhou could develop in the United States, he would go there and then come back and just buy a few awards. I really don't think there are many fans of his in the United States."
Fans of Han Zhou's music knew it was Heizi as soon as they saw it.
But Han Zhou's fans said: "Yes, yes, Han Zhou is not good."
"Han Zhou, after a long time, he made a box office of 2 billion. At the beginning, some people stole some of the box office. Later, he broke the record. He must have spent 1.9 billion to buy the box office."
"Han Zhou's songs are just mediocre to me, not as good as the Chinese songs. It's really surprising to win an award in the United States."
"Rumors say that Han Zhou bribed the American College Association and swiped votes to win the National College Choice Award."
Many unfamiliar people don't know whether these people are black or ironic.
Some unfamiliar sailors still followed their words.
However, Han Zhou’s fans, who are all in the air force, cannot catch fish in the water, but they are proficient in fishing online.
Then, someone sent a message: "While you were blacklisting Han Zhou, didn't you check out who the screenwriter of "The God of Death" is?"
"I'm laughing so hard. You guys don't know that "Death is Coming" was produced by New World America, and Han Zhou is the first brother of New World."
"Chen Dayong was Han Zhou's cinematographer when he first became a director. He reciprocated the favor and used the script to help Chen Dayong's first experience as director. Didn't you expect that so many ghosts and ghosts would come here to slander Han Zhou?"
"Do you have money to get black Hanzhou? I'm a little poor recently, give me one, I have a G of Hanzhou's black material in my hard drive!"
In Beijing circles, a dog-headed military advisor is being scolded bloody.
You spent millions to hire navy troops to hack Han Zhou, so you finally found the right one, right? Why don't you read the information on Ma De Encyclopedia?
The dog-headed military advisor was also very confused. He took over an internal job to hack Han Zhou. Several months passed without finding any black spots. Now he finally found an angle. Who knew this horror movie was written by Han Zhou?
Ah, he has never written a horror movie script before!
This news can be regarded as an episode before the end of the year.
Next, the hot searches for the Spring Festival Gala are increasing day by day.
At the end of the year, Han Zhou had no more works.
Because of the Spring Festival, the May 68 concert will start not in two months, but in four months.
During this period, Han Zhou was fully involved in the operation of the Spring Festival Gala.
If the show's ratings are to be high, publicity in all aspects is also very important.
Han Zhou also came up with a lot of plans and even threw out promotional songs.
This time, Yang Chuan took a job and released a song.
On the dilapidated bus, Yang Chuan plays a comrade of migrant workers.
Originally, in Yang Chuan's previous experiences, his life was not as good as that of migrant workers, so he was very familiar with the role and didn't even need to act. When he went home during the Chinese New Year, he would just go home with such a big bag.
I haven't made any money all year round. I bought a lot of things outside that I couldn't use, and I couldn't bear to throw them away, so I wanted to take them home.
In the MV, Yang Chuan sang this song with a new female singer in the company:
"If you have money or not, go home to celebrate the New Year.
It turns out that I want to return my hometown in fine clothes
Rich or not, go home to celebrate the New Year
There is always a New Year’s Eve dinner at home.”
New World also used this song as the background to shoot a short film, "How long has it been since you've been home", and posted it on a short video website.
As the new year is approaching, this video is becoming more and more popular.
Yang Chuan now has several major variety shows throughout the year and has guest-starred in more than ten variety shows, so the audience is very familiar with him.
This video has also made everyone's favorability towards Yang Chuan continue to rise.
As for this song, those few lines are so catchy that everyone can hum them casually.
In this era of news flying all over the sky, there is a lot of news of all kinds, but as the New Year approaches every year, everyone says that it is not in the spirit of the New Year, but in fact this type of news still takes up the page.
The Spring Festival Gala directed by Han Zhou has also made many young people look forward to it.
On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the official Spring Festival Gala list was announced.
The audience saw many familiar faces.
Chen Feng, Zhang Ceyong, Lin Xiaoxing, Zhou Meng, Liu Hanyun.
The five kings who are still active in China all appeared.
Liu Yiling and An Lan are two of the four major queens in China.
Li Xinqi, Dingding Maoer (Zheng Quan) combination, Lu Jin, Wang Chuyang and Zhang Die combination appeared.
There is also Teacher Lu Ling who has always appeared at the Yangma Party.
In terms of singers, there are seven kings and queens, two powerful groups, a total of five first-line singers, plus the Four Little Flowers, who are very famous in film and television dramas this year, once again sang a song together, and there are also three actors who sang a song together.
song.
It’s almost as complete as can be found currently.
There are three generations of people, old, middle and young, all working together.
As for skits and cross talk programs, there are all familiar faces. Last but not least, Ma Jing’s group has only attended the Spring Festival Gala once. Apart from that, there is only one group of people who have not heard of it before. This aspect is also very strong.
.
There is also an acrobatic program and two modern dance programs. The performers are a famous dancer from Yundian Province and the Chinese Disabled Persons Art Troupe.
These configurations are fine.
In addition, there is Wu Yue, and the work to be performed is actually martial arts.
Judging from the list of these shows, the cast and crew are almost the best.
Judging from the name of the program, a large number of songs are new songs that I have never heard before, and the content of the program cannot be inferred from the sketches.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, while insiders watch the door.
It can be said that Han Zhou completely kicked the Beijing circle this time.
Among them, there are six stars from New World, including Mailang, Tianle, and Universal China.
In addition to these, there are also singers and celebrities who are basically from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Guangfu circles.
There is no Beijing star.
Even the cross talk is from the new force Tianqiao Cross Talk Club.
The only thing that still remains in Beijing circles is Peking Opera performances.
But these people are not particularly close to people in the acting and Beijing circles.
Many people have realized that if these people are in the same trousers with the Beijing circle, Han Zhou may cancel the Peking Opera and directly become an actor in Sichuan Opera and Yue Opera.
The main thing is to be fierce.
The Spring Festival Gala held in Yanjing kicked out everyone in Beijing circles.
What courage?
The audience didn't notice it, but found it interesting.
Last year and the year before that, those things that were bad at singing are finally gone this year.
Those actors who weren't funny finally got out.
Last year, there was that one by Chen Yin, who sang so crotch-stretching, but this year he finally got out.
Although Lu Jin is his former teammate, isn't Lu Jin a better singer than him?
However, the format of the program list is not much different from previous Spring Festival Galas, which many people regret.
The first program at the beginning is "56 National Dance" plus "Love My China", and the ending is "The Ending Song: Unforgettable Tonight".
In terms of program structure, singing, sketch, singing, sketch, cross talk, singing, singing, magic, singing, dancing, singing...
This is no different from previous Spring Festival Galas.
Many people are very sorry: "It seems that this year's Spring Festival Gala has nothing to do at all. Even if Han Zhou takes the position of director of the Spring Festival Gala, it will still be these things."
Some people also have objections: "No, aren't these the only shows that can be performed on stage? What's the point of not performing these performances? The key is to look at the quality of the work!"
In fact, there are no other programs that have appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Such as hip-hop, etc. However, it is a long way to go for these programs to adapt to large-scale evening parties.
How can hip-hop have a strong unity? Without unity, how can it have the effect of a large stage?
Projecting an AR program? Is it really interesting? Is it technically well done? From a TV perspective, is it different from the opening of previous cartoons?
Or is it the format of a popular crew hosting a Spring Festival Gala?
Retro throwback to the 1980s?
These are the programs that can be selected. If you criticize the Spring Festival Gala based on the format of the program, you can say that you are looking for trouble.
This kind of noise can't last long.
On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the third rehearsal was successfully completed, which also meant that the Spring Festival Gala program was completely finalized.
From now on, even if something goes wrong at the Spring Festival Gala and someone is unable to take the stage, there is no such thing as an emergency replacement.
The first choice is to play the disc of the third rehearsal directly.
The second choice is the replacement.
There is no option to change programs.
…
January 27, 2025.
Lunar New Year's eve.
Yangma’s reporters took their cameras to shoot the Spring Festival Gala.
The host is also curious about what everyone is doing now.
At the scene, almost no cast or crew had a dedicated rest room.
A large number of cast and crew members were resting and touching up their makeup in the halls and passages.
The camera also interviewed many people.
Someone with sharp eyes discovered that the door of a room was open and Han Zhou was seen inside.
The reporter hurried over with the camera and knocked on the door: "Director Han, say hello to the audience."
Han Zhou raised his head and glanced at the camera: "Happy New Year everyone!"
Of course, the reporter remembered that Han Zhou first became famous nationwide when he was a host in the Spring Festival Gala, so he enthusiastically stepped forward and asked, "Are you still writing couplets this year?"
Han Zhou said happily: "Write, write."
The reporter looked down and saw a lot of brand-new banknotes on the table: "Hey, what are these for?"
Han Zhou: "Put in a red envelope."
"Every actor and singer who performs in the Spring Festival Gala is not paid, only red envelopes."
Next to him, Zhang Jiuquan was stuffing twenty dollars into a red envelope.
Han Zhou stopped Zhang Jiuquan and looked at the name written on the red envelope: "I know Chen Feng well. There is no need to pay him twenty, just six yuan."
Many viewers watching the TV scene were already bursting into laughter. You specialize in tricking people you know, right?
But then again, the last Spring Festival Gala only cost 20 yuan? That’s not even enough to take a taxi!
The host smiled: "Isn't Chen Feng angry if you only give me six yuan?"
Han Zhou: "There is no way. A lot of money has been spent on the budget for the Spring Festival Gala. The rest are used to give red envelopes, so that's it. As long as I know them, I will give them less red envelopes and give them to the dancers who have fewer scenes.
If they pack a little more, they have to give people enough money to take a taxi home."
The title of Han Shashu spread like wildfire in major WeChat messaging groups and Penguin groups.
On New Year's Eve, many people who had not watched the Spring Festival Gala for two years stayed in front of the TV.
The Spring Festival Gala officially begins.
Fifty-six ethnic groups danced on the stage wearing various ethnic costumes.
There is not much difference from previous years.
However, there is still a huge difference this time, a difference that netizens have been talking about for a long time and have not changed at all.
That is, in the previous program, Han was wearing modern clothes, but this time, Han Zhou took out Hanfu.
Anyway, Han Zhou has the final say, and no one can influence it.
Even Director Ren said: "We have to consider an open image, so we use modern clothes."
Han Zhou: "No need, the Spring Festival Gala is for our own people."
The dance soundtrack is "Love My China" sung by teacher Lu Ling.
"Fifty-six constellations, fifty-six flowers."
"Fifty-six brothers and sisters are one family. Fifty-six languages are combined into one sentence, love me China!"
To be honest, this song ranks just below "My Motherland". Basically, any group of people will find it pleasant after listening to it for the first time!
At this start, people who don’t pay attention to details won’t notice the difference from previous years.
But many people feel that this is still different from previous years.
But there are also many people who are disappointed. It is a big event and it is a folk dance. This means that this year’s Spring Festival Gala is not much different from previous years!
Then, the entire network, all comment areas, and live broadcast barrage areas all turned into:
"Hahahahahahahahaha!"
"Hahahaha, I'm in a trance and it's so bright!"
"Quack, quack, quack!"
"233333333! Bang the table!"
Han Zhou put the sketch "Protagonist and Supporting Actor" in the second program.
In this world, two Mesozoic actors starred in this skit, and their images are the same as those of Chen and Zhu in their previous lives.
Regarding the choice of this program, Han Zhou struggled for a while between "Eating Noodles", the first sketch in his previous life, and "Protagonist and Supporting Role", and finally chose "Protagonist and Supporting Role".
"You don't care how I act, or who the audience likes to watch?"
"Captain, don't shoot, it's me!"
"Did you bring Huang Jun here?"
"The devil dragged me to bring you a message."
"Doesn't this show that your marksmanship is accurate?"
Every time a famous sentence in Han Zhou's memory came out, the audience burst into laughter. Han Zhou sat in the corner of the first row and looked back at the scene with a smile.
Although Han Zhou could not watch the live broadcast or the online broadcast, Han Zhou knew that the effect would be very good.
Just because it is "Protagonist and Supporting Role".
This skit was so long that only half of it was performed. Someone already said in the penguin group: "I laughed to death, my stomach hurt from laughing, and I can't close my jaw. Damn it, this is the beginning of this year's Spring Festival Gala."
Han Zhou is going to laugh me to death and inherit my Penguin, right?"
"This show is so funny. In comparison, last year was nothing."
Contrary to TV series, good TV series will make people feel very short, and bad TV series will make people feel very long.
And skits, funny skits will feel very long, and not funny skits will feel very short.
Because, if you keep laughing, every word you say is a burden. Soon you will find that you can’t laugh anymore, but won’t it last forever?
This sketch, which was not funny, was finished and I laughed once, twice, or not even once. Isn’t it short?
"Protagonist and Supporting Role" set the tone for this Spring Festival Gala!
