The Chinese entertainment industry was calm in November.
There was an uproar in the American entertainment industry in November.
However, all this did not spread to the country.
After all, with Han Zhou as the big daddy causing trouble in the United States so many times, everyone seems to have gradually become accustomed to seeing Chinese and overseas Chinese becoming famous abroad.
Moreover, in recent years, there have been some similar people who have become extremely popular on the Internet.
For example, in October, a young Chinese man living in the University of California, Berkeley, invented ASMR, commonly known as intracranial orgasm, which became popular around the world in just one week.
It has destroyed almost all traditional sleep aid markets.
Domestic media generally do not report this kind of news, it's just a small matter.
but.
In December, the wind gradually grew stronger.
At the end of December, a piece of news successfully topped the Weibo hot search list.
#Domestic director tops the horror film global box office list#
This news is shocking enough.
In fact, as early as that day in the United States, film critics there were already stunned.
Many industry insiders have predicted that New World’s new movie “Final Destination” will definitely break the historical box office record for horror films.
Things like historical box office records sound scary, but in reality they are full of water and include a lot of unexpected consequences.
Simply put, whoever releases movies like "Final Destination", "Saw" and "Silent Hill" first will get the current highest box office record for horror films.
Those who develop later will naturally break this record.
Don't think that those who release later will make money. What about inflation? When the movies are released first, the box office revenue may be more valuable.
In fact, it took two full months for Final Destination to be released in North America.
From Halloween to Christmas, it will break the historical record.
The key point is that Chen Dayong is penniless in the United States.
If movie fans hadn't gone to see it in the first place because it was a movie written by Han Zhou, it might have failed in the gestation, let alone breaking the record.
The domestic media did not pay attention to the process, and did not pay any attention to the fact that foreign industry insiders predicted that "Final Destination" would break the record. They waited until the record was officially broken and then released the news in a swarm.
And this piece of news naturally became a hot topic.
"Famous Chinese photographer Chen Dayong moved to Hollywood and directed the horror film "Final Destination", which grossed 190 million yuan, breaking the global horror film box office record. His debut film topped the Hollywood charts!"
Wei Yuan felt a pain in his liver when he saw this news.
At 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 by inviting Wei Yuan to join Tianle Group and funded him to shoot a movie.
Who would have thought that, although there was no huge loss, there was no profit at all, neither money nor fame.
On the contrary, Chen Dayong was a free agent because he did not find a new club. Eventually, he joined New World and hung out with Han Zhou. He made a movie based on Han Zhou's script, and his debut film broke the world record!
Wei Yuan: Damn it, filming Lao Han’s script, this isn’t a simple mode, is this cheating…
Wei Yuan was so envious!
But Wei Yuan actually had nothing to envy, because Wang Xiya had spent 20 million in signing fees to get him to sign a contract.
What does this amount mean to domestic screenwriters?
Many well-known domestic TV and film screenwriters cannot afford to buy houses in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Wei Yuan sat in his villa and envied Chen Dayong who had to sleep in the open and eat dirt in the United States where he had no relatives or friends.
The most infuriating thing was that Chen Dayong sent a message to Wei Yuan: "Wahahahaha, did you see the news? Did you see it? I know you saw it. Speak up, speak up!"
When Mr. Tree was filmed, the friendship between Wei Yuan, Chen Dayong and Han Zhou had reached its peak.
The two often joke with each other and keep each other informed, and both want to become directors.
Now that Chen Dayong has succeeded, it is natural for him to tease Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan responded cheerfully: "We will soon enter Hollywood on a large scale. There will be plenty of work to do, and I will also get Lao Han's script."
Chen Dayong: "Oh, Lao Han is a straightforward man, but this is like ordering takeout. My takeout arrived first, so you should starve for a while, hahahaha."
It is impossible for New World to film all of Han Zhou's scripts. New World alone cannot gain a foothold in Hollywood and challenge the current five or nine major film companies.
Therefore, Han Zhou wanted to shoot the film himself, and also asked Tianle and Universal China to shoot the film.
Isn't it good to just sit back and wait for the money to be collected? Of course it is a good thing.
Soon Weibo became lively.
One netizen suddenly discovered the blind spot: "Speaking of which, Han Zhou's movie Lord of War, which was shot in Hollywood, only grossed 70 million worldwide. Whose general is Chen Dayong? How could he be even more powerful than Han Zhou?"
"Did Han Zhou make a movie in Hollywood? Why wasn't it released in China?"
There's no way Lord of War will be released in the country.
This was originally a film about the affairs of the Bear Country and the United States, and it was about the arms trade. This kind of topic, let alone a low-level censorship system, would not be allowed to be put on .
This is not a question of whether to review or not, but an issue that can easily lead to international conflicts.
Everyone knows that New World is a Chinese company. If they make a movie like this and allow it to be broadcast domestically to boost the global box office, then after its influence is expanded, won’t this help the United States to get arms orders?
Movies are just a small business at the national level, but they have delayed bigger things.
Many people are also analyzing the reasons and saying that "Lord of War" is super good.
But many people are confused. If it is so good, why haven’t we heard any publicity about it, nor have we heard Han Zhou say anything about it himself, let alone a high box office?
In fact, Han Zhou did not start filming "Lord of War" for the box office. Just like when he filmed "Hello Mr. Tree", "Lord of War" was basically on the verge of losing money in its previous life.
If it weren’t for the arms dealers’ help, we would have lost money.
But it cannot be denied that this is a movie that ranks very high in film history.
Han Zhou filmed it to fulfill the request of arms dealer Yuri.
On the one hand, it is to accumulate word of mouth.
Foreign movie fans are not fools. At the beginning, this movie was basically not available in theaters in the United States, so many people didn’t know about this movie.
But as half a year passed, more and more people discovered that Oscar-winning actor Coppola and Han Zhou had actually collaborated on a movie, so they went to watch it online.
After watching it, I was amazed.
Isn’t the reward coming now?
This movie was written by Han Zhou, a director that Americans didn't even know, but it had the potential to break the historical record for horror films from the very beginning, and it actually broke the record, although only by a little bit.
But come on, the original documentary was a fucking special effects blockbuster that cost 60 million to shoot.
This Final Destination cost more than 6 million US dollars.
Including the hairstyle and publicity, it was only 14 million US dollars, which was a huge profit.
Under the news, many fans of Han Zhou were discussing, and suddenly someone started:
"Han Zhou is no good either. What's the highest box office in the history of Chinese-language films? Why can't Kung Fu sell abroad? Instead, it was Chen Dayong who doesn't like to brag, but he broke the world record."
"Hey, celebrities, who doesn't like to brag? If you have the guts, go out and show off."
"Le, if Han Zhou could develop in the United States, he would go there and come back. He just bought a few awards. He really thinks he has so many fans in the United States."
Han Zhou’s fans who love fun can tell at a glance that he is a hater.
But Han Zhou’s fans who love fun said: “Yes, yes, yes, Han Zhou is not a good person.”
"Han Zhou, he made a movie called Kung Fu, and it grossed 2 billion. At the beginning, some of the box office revenue was stolen by others. But later on, he was able to break the record. It must be because he spent 1.9 billion to buy the box office revenue."
"I think Han Zhou's songs are just average, not as good as Chinese songs. It's really surprising that he won an award in the United States."
"According to the grapevine, Han Zhou bribed the American College Alliance and swiped the votes to win the American College Choice Award."
Many people who are not familiar with them don’t know whether these people are being black or ironic.
And some unfamiliar water armies just followed their words.
But Han Zhou's fans are all empty-handed. They can't catch any fish in the water, but they are very good at fishing on the Internet.
Then, someone sent a message: "While you were criticizing Han Zhou, didn't you check out who wrote Final Destination?"
"I am dying of laughter. Don't you know that Final Destination was produced by New World, an American company? Han Zhou is the top star of New World."
"Chen Dayong was Han Zhou's first directorial photographer. I'm returning the favor by using the script to help Chen Dayong's first experience as a director. I didn't expect so many evildoers to come here to discredit Han Zhou?"
"Can I get money for slandering Han Zhou? I'm a bit broke recently, take me with you, I have a gigabyte of Han Zhou's dirty laundry on my hard drive!"
In the Beijing circle, a military strategist is being scolded bitterly.
You spent millions to hire a troll army to smear Hanzhou, at least you found the right point? There is information on Mad Encyclopedia, don't you want to take a look?
The Dog-Headed Military Advisor was also very confused. He accepted an internal job to discredit Han Zhou. Several months have passed, and he hasn't found any black spots. Now he finally found the angle, but who knew that this horror movie was written by Han Zhou? 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 number of hot searches for the Spring Festival Gala increased day by day.
At the end of the year, Han Zhou had no more works.
Because of the Spring Festival, the 568 concert will not start in two months, but in four months.
During this period, Han Zhou devoted himself to the operation of the Spring Festival Gala.
In order to get high ratings for the gala, publicity from all aspects is also very important.
Han Zhou also came up with a lot of plans and released a promotional song.
This time, Yang Chuan took a job and released a song.
On the dilapidated bus, Yang Chuan plays the role of a migrant worker.
In fact, Yang Chuan's previous experiences were not as good as those of the migrant workers, so it was easy for him to act out the role, and he didn't even need to act. When he went home for the Chinese New Year, he always brought home a lot of luggage.
I didn’t make any money all year, and I didn’t need a lot of the things I bought outside, but I couldn’t bear to throw them away, so I thought of taking them home.
In the MV, Yang Chuan sang this song with a new female singer from the company:
"Whether you have money or not, go home for the New Year
I want to return home in glory
Whether you have money or not, go home for 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 went home", and released it on the short video website.
As the year draws to a close, this video is becoming more and more popular.
Yang Chuan now appears in several major variety shows throughout the year and has made guest appearances in more than a dozen variety shows. The audience is very familiar with him.
This video also made everyone's favorable impression of Yang Chuan continue to increase.
And this song and those few lines are quite catchy, and everyone can hum a few lines.
In this era of news flying everywhere, there are many kinds of news, but every year when the New Year comes to an end, although everyone says that there is no New Year atmosphere, in fact, this kind of news still occupies the headlines.
The Spring Festival Gala directed by Han Zhou has also attracted many young people's expectations.
On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the official list of Spring Festival Gala performers was announced.
The audience saw many familiar faces.
Chen Feng, Zhang Ceyong, Lin Xiaoxing, Zhou Meng, Liu Hanyun.
All five superstars who are still active in the country made their appearance.
Liu Yiling and An Lan, two of the four great divas in China have emerged.
Li Xinqi, Ding Ding Maoer (Zheng Quan) and Lu Jin, Wang Chuyang and Zhang Die appeared on stage.
There is also Teacher Lu Ling who will appear on CCTV Gala for a long time.
In terms of singers, there are seven superstars, two powerful groups with a total of five first-line singers, plus the four little flowers who are very famous in film and television dramas this year will collaborate again to sing a song, and three male actors will also sing a song together.
It's almost the full configuration that can be found at present.
There are people from all three generations, young, middle-aged and old, all alive.
As for programs such as sketches and crosstalk, all the faces are familiar. The worst is Ma Jing's group which has only appeared on the Spring Festival Gala once. Apart from that, there is only one group of people I have never heard of before. This aspect is also very strong.
There was also an acrobatic show, two modern dance shows, and the performers included a famous dancer from Yundian Province and the China Disabled People's Art Troupe.
These configurations are all good.
In addition, there is Wu Li, who will be performing martial arts.
Judging from the roster, the cast and crew of these shows are almost the best.
Judging from the name of the program, a large number of songs are new songs that have never been heard before, and the skits make it impossible to guess the content of the program.
As the saying goes, the layman watches the excitement, while the expert sees the details.
It can be said that Han Zhou kicked the Beijing circle out completely this time.
Among them, six are stars from New World, and the others are from Mailang, Tianle, and Universal China.
In addition to these, there are also singers and stars, basically from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Cantonese circles.
There is not a single Beijing star.
Even the crosstalk is from the new force Tianqiao Crosstalk Society.
The only thing that remains in the Beijing circle is the Peking Opera performance.
However, these people are not particularly close to people in the Beijing entertainment circle.
Many people have realized that if these people are in cahoots with the Peking Opera circle , Han Zhou might cancel Peking Opera and directly use Sichuan Opera and Yue Opera actors.
The main feature is ferocity.
The Spring Festival Gala held in Yanjing kicked out all the people from the Beijing circle.
What courage?
The audience didn't notice it and found it very interesting.
Last year, the year before last, and the year before last, those things that were sung badly are finally gone this year.
Those unfunny actors finally left.
Last year there was that guy called Chen Yin, who sang so badly and finally left this year.
Although Lu Jin is his former teammate, doesn’t Lu Jin sing better than him?
However, the format of the program list is not much different from previous Spring Festival Galas, which many people find disappointing.
The first program was "56 National Dances" plus "Love My China", and the end was "Ending Song: Unforgettable Tonight".
In terms of program structure, singing, skits, singing, skits, crosstalk, singing, singing, magic, singing, dancing, singing...
This is no different from previous Spring Festival Galas.
Many people were very disappointed: "It seems that there is nothing to do with this year's Spring Festival Gala. Even if Han Zhou became the director of the Spring Festival Gala, it is still the same thing."
Some people also hold opposing views: "No, aren't these the only shows that can be performed on stage? If not these, what else can we perform? The key is still the quality of the work!"
In fact, there are other programs that have been performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
For example, street dance, etc. However, if these programs are to adapt to large-scale evening parties, they have a very long way to go.
How can street dance have such strong unity? Without unity, how can there be the effect of a large stage?
Projected AR show? Is it really interesting!? Is it technically well done? From the TV, is it different from the previous animation opening?
Or is it the form of popular drama crews performing at the Spring Festival Gala?
A throwback to the eighties?
These are the only programs that can be chosen. If one criticizes the Spring Festival Gala based on the format of the programs, then it can be said that one is just looking for trouble.
This noise didn't last long.
On the 27th day 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 there is a problem at the Spring Festival Gala and someone cannot go on stage, there will be 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.
Reporters from CCTV went to the Spring Festival Gala with cameras to shoot.
The host was also very curious about what everyone was doing now.
On set, almost no cast and crew had a dedicated lounge.
A large number of cast and crew were resting and putting on makeup in the halls and corridors.
The camera also interviewed many people.
Someone with sharp eyes noticed that the door of a room was not closed and saw Han Zhou inside.
The reporter hurried over with the camera and knocked on the door: "Director Han, please say hello to the audience."
Han Zhou raised his head and glanced at the camera: "Happy New Year, everyone!"
The reporter remembered that Han Zhou first became famous nationwide as a frontman in the Spring Festival Gala, so he approached enthusiastically and asked, "Are you still writing couplets this year?"
Han Zhou said happily: "I wrote it. I wrote it."
The reporter looked down and saw a lot of brand new banknotes on the table: "Hey, what are these for?"
Han Zhou: "Give it a red envelope."
"Every actor and singer who performs at the Spring Festival Gala receives no remuneration, only red envelopes."
Zhang Jiuquan next to him was putting 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, you don't have to give him 20 yuan, just 6 yuan will be fine."
Many of the audiences watching TV were already laughing their heads off. You specifically try to trick your acquaintances, right?
But the last time we watched the Spring Festival Gala, it was only 20 yuan? That’s not even enough for a taxi!
The host smiled and said, "Isn't Chen Feng angry if I only give him six pieces?"
Han Zhou: "There's nothing I can do. A lot of money has already been spent on the Spring Festival Gala budget, and there's only so much left for red envelopes. I'll give less to those I know, and give more to dancers who have fewer screens. I have to give them enough money for a taxi home."
The reputation of "Han Sha Shu" spread quickly in major WeChat groups and Penguin groups.
On New Year’s Eve, many people who had not watched the Spring Festival Gala for two years sat in front of the TV.
The Spring Festival Gala officially begins.
Fifty-six ethnic groups danced on the stage in their respective 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 has not changed at all.
That is, in the previous show, Han was wearing modern clothes, but this time, Han Zhou took out Hanfu.
Anyway, Han Zhou has the final say, and no one else's opinion can make a difference.
Even Director Ren said, "We have to consider an open image, so we use modern clothing."
Han Zhou: "No need, the Spring Festival Gala is for our own people to watch."
The dance music 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: I love China!"
To be honest, the rank of this song is just below "My Motherland". Almost everyone will find it pleasant to the ear after hearing it for the first time!
People who don’t pay attention to details won’t notice the difference between this start and previous years.
But many people also feel that this is a change compared to previous years.
But many people were disappointed. With such a grand scene and folk dances leading the way, it shows that this year's Spring Festival Gala is not much different from previous years!
Then, the entire network, all the comment sections, and live broadcast bullet screen sections all became:
“Hahahahahaha ah hahaha!”
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha, it’s so prosperous!”
“Ga ga ga!”
“233333333! Bang the table!”
Han Zhou put the skit "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor" in the second program.
Two Mesozoic actors in this world performed in this skit, and their images were similar to Chen and Zhu in their previous life.
In choosing this program, Han Zhou hesitated for a while between the first sketch in the history of his previous life, "Eating Noodles" and "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor", and finally chose "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor".
"Do you have any right to control 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 asked me to bring you a message."
"Doesn't this show that you are an accurate shooter?"
Every time a famous quote from Han Zhou's memory came out, the audience burst into laughter. Han Zhou was sitting in the corner of the first row, looking back at the scene and smiling.
Although Han Zhou couldn't watch the live broadcast or the live broadcast on the Internet, he knew that the effect must be very good.
Just because it is "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor".
This skit was too long. Only half of it was performed when someone in the Penguin group said, "I am dying of laughter. My stomach hurts from laughing so much and my jaw can't close. Damn, this is just the beginning of this year's Spring Festival Gala. Is Han Zhou going to make me die of laughter and inherit my Penguin account?"
"This show is so fucking hilarious. In comparison, what was last year like?"
Unlike TV dramas, a good TV drama will make people feel very short, while a bad TV drama will make people feel very long.
And skits, funny skits, will make people feel they are very long, while unfunny skits will make people feel they are very short.
Because, if you are laughing all the time and every sentence is a joke, you will soon find that you can’t laugh anymore, isn’t that growth?
This unfunny skit was already over. I only laughed once, twice, or even not even once . Isn’t it too short?
"The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor" set the tone for this Spring Festival Gala!
