Chapter 46 Da Meiyuan, that night!

Chapter 46 Da Meiyuan, that night!

Huang Xiaoming and Gao Yuanyuan's shocked gazes all fell on Zhou Yutang.

"Every actor has a dream of making a movie, and I want to try it too."

Zhou Yutang shrugged his shoulders and replied with a chuckle: "When Mr. Xue was filming "Want to Meet You", I worked for her as an assistant director. At that time, I had the urge to make my own movies in the future."

In fact, there is an invisible and invisible chain of contempt in the current domestic entertainment industry.

Film Circle\u003eTV Series Circle\u003eVariety Show Circle.

Liu Tianxian is a good example.

After the two TV series Fairy Sword and Divine Condor gained enough popularity, Aunt Liu also wanted Liu Tianxian to switch to filmmaking and move to the big screen.

"Xiaotang, making a movie is very different from making a TV series. The risks are very high. You have to think about this clearly."

Huang Xiaoming also couldn't accept Zhou Yutang's unfashionable ideas. He felt that this younger brother might have been a little popular recently, so he was a little carried away. He also wanted to pull this impulsive little brother back from being lost, so he persuaded him earnestly:

"Based on my personal experience, you'd better make a few more TV series to consolidate your fan base, and wait until you have a certain fan base before you think about making a movie."

"Xiao Ming is right."

Gao Yuanyuan also agreed.

"You must know that making movies is completely different from making TV series. After all, TV series can be watched by turning on the TV without anyone spending a penny, while movies require the audience to spend real money in their pockets to go to the cinema to watch your movie. So it’s really difficult.”

When Brother Xiao Ming said this, his tone was a bit sad.

After his explosive debut in "The Emperor", his stardom has been smooth, and it's not like he has never thought about climbing to a higher level in the film industry.

Then I made a movie about Hong Kong's big brother Hong Jingbao. The result can't be said to be a hit, but it can also be said to be a disaster.

Later, he took over director Feng's "The Night Banquet" and formed a super invincible luxury lineup with International Zhang, handsome actor Azu, and Ge You.

The results of it?

It was released last year and received a lot of criticism.

The domestic box office cannot recover the cost. If it were not for the subsequent overseas distribution and profits, Huayi's big and small kings would always be afraid of vomiting blood.

Now when Brother Xiao Ming talks about movies, he feels a little shadowy in his heart.

"Making a movie is really not that easy. Yu Tang, you have to think carefully."

Gao Yuanyuan also advised seriously, using examples from her friends.

Some made movies and lost all their money, some sold their houses to pay off debts, some failed and jumped off the building, and some simply disappeared from the scene.

We are all friends, so we need to persuade them.

In short, the meaning is in place.

The film industry is in deep waters. Brother, you are still young and cannot grasp it.

"Haha, thank you Brother Xiao Ming and Sister Yuanyuan. I will think about it carefully when I get back."

Zhou Yutang said this, but he already had an idea in his heart.

These days, even fish sellers know that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

He wants to make progress, and if he wants to make progress quickly, he cannot follow the steps.

Only by daring to take the road that others have not walked can we reap a different kind of beautiful scenery.

"One step at a time, let's take it slow. You are still young, but now you are already very powerful."

Huang Xiaoming's emotional intelligence is still very high, and he praised Zhou Yutang a few words without any trace.

The investment in "Want to See You" brought him at least twice the income, which can be said to be quite considerable.

The only pity is that Zhou Yutang was not impressed by him and took him under his wing, but planned to start his own studio.

"Yu Tang is indeed very thoughtful and excellent."

Gao Yuanyuan also felt a little strange in her heart. Only after contacting him did she realize that Zhou Yutang was really a treasure boy.

She is a bit artistic herself and admires talented men, not to mention Zhou Yutang is so talented, it doesn't matter if she is talented, she speaks well, and she even has top-notch looks.

Ordinary people who chase stars can only silently like and support them secretly, but things like Gao Yuanyuan are different.

They were all insiders, and it happened that Da Meiyuan didn't have much work during this period. She was obsessed with the drama "Want to Meet You", so she found Huang Xiaoming to inquire about the news, and asked him to be the intermediary to contact Zhou Yutang and come out to meet her.

Then there was the situation like today.

Zhou Yutang also likes to communicate with her mature, gentle and beautiful sister. They talk about music, literature, and film art. They have a common language.

It cannot be said that these two people hit it off like old friends, or it can be said that they met each other late.

"Xiaotang, do you still have a suitable TV script in your hand? If there is a chance, we can continue to cooperate."

The topic went round and round and returned to the main topic. Huang Xiaoming suddenly asked.

He is now the number one niche player in domestic entertainment. In addition to his identity as an actor, he also has another identity, that is, an investment businessman.

Although I don't expect Zhou Yutang to make any movies, it is undeniable that this junior from Nortel is extremely talented. He has already benefited from the cooperation once, so he wants to do it again.

"Brother Xiao Ming, to tell you the truth, my studio has no TV scripts to shoot in the short term."

Zhou Yutang also said frankly: "As for the future, I will continue to work on TV series projects... I have a big production project. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope to film it."

For now.

Jiangdong Film and Television Studio is still in its infancy and cannot compare with some large film and television companies.

If Zhou Yutang wants to make movies, then his main efforts must be focused on this aspect, and there will be no spare time for TV series projects.

Of course, it is possible to participate in investment.

"Big production project? Can you tell us about it?"

Huang Xiaoming's eyes lit up and he became interested decisively.

Zhou Yutang expressed his plan enthusiastically: "I plan to adapt the novel in the snow into a TV series. The original plot is too long, so it will be the same as the model in American TV series, divided into several seasons, and then the total investment for the first season is expected to be More than 150 million."

Huang Xiaoming: "."

Gao Yuanyuan: "."

The two of them fell into a daze, their eyes widening in shock.

Brother Yutang, you didn’t drink much, why are you so drunk?

Investing more than 150 million in a TV series sounds like a fantasy to two people.

What concept?

The total investment in the movie banquet is only 120 million. This TV series uses 150 million. Can the cost be recovered?

"It is indeed a big production. To be honest, I was a little shocked."

Brother Xiao Ming's mouth twitched, but he regained his composure in a moment, nodded with a smile, and affirmed Zhou Yutang:

"But as far as the current situation is concerned, there is definitely no way to do this project. When it is really going to be filmed in the future, just say it and I can help you act for free."

"I'll also act for you for free."

Da Meiyuan also expressed her willingness to support.

Putting aside everything else, if this 150 million TV series is really produced, it will really be the ceiling for domestic entertainment TV series.

If you dare to dream, then we dare to support you, but it is impossible to realize it anyway.

"Okay, then I'll remember it."

Zhou Yutang also smiled. He himself knew that it was unrealistic at the moment.

But how many more years to wait?

He feels that with his own development speed, there may not be hope.

The three of them drank red wine and listened to music, and the atmosphere was quite good.

The main reason is that Huang Xiaoming has a high emotional intelligence and knows what to do, and Zhou Yutang is also very good at socializing, which made Da Meiyuan laugh so hard that her branches trembled with laughter.

Let’s talk about the gossips in the industry, the prospects of the industry, who has been promoted, whose salary has been downgraded, which newcomer the company has signed to support, and who has cut off whose pie.

However, Zhou Yutang heard a lot of top-notch news.

What are the secrets of a certain big shot in the Beijing circle, and the stories of the open and covert fights between some of the Four Danshuangbing.

It is understandable that Da Meiyuan gossips, but Xiao Ming is not someone who would say such things in front of ordinary friends. Zhou Yutang can feel that he really treats her as a good brother.

Stimulate!

Quite exciting.

In fact, the reason for the quarrel in the entertainment industry is very simple. In the final analysis, it is all about interests.

Those at the middle or bottom level may not feel it because the resources they have access to are limited, but if you sit in the position of a top star, competition is inevitable.

After all, the most delicious cake in the entire entertainment industry is just that big. Whether it is top film and television resources, fashion resources or business resources, they all have to compete.

Being able to get these top resources can really bring you fame and real benefits of real money.

It is said that blocking someone's financial path is like killing one's parents. The tens of millions and hundreds of millions at this stage are really enough to make people tear their skin apart.

The most classic one is the four-day double ice show. The show is full of fire and all kinds of quarrels.

Somehow the topic of relationship came up, so Gao Yuanyuan shook her red wine glass and asked:

"Xiao Ming, you have such a successful career now, have you ever considered personal relationship issues?"

Zhou Yutang knew what he was talking about.

Brother Xiao Ming seems to have just broken up last year. It seems that Da Meiyuan is still a good old-fashioned and warm-hearted sister. She probably wants to introduce a girlfriend to Brother Xiao Ming.

Huang Xiaoming touched his nose and smiled smartly: "I think it's good to be single alone. You can have fun and not be burdened. Falling in love takes time, effort, and ultimately gets hurt."

"Then when you are old enough, you will get married, right?" Da Meiyuan rolled her eyes.

"I don't think I'll ever get married in my life."

Huang Xiaoming said confidently.

"Okay, then you can have fun on your own and don't lead Yu Tang astray. He is still a simple student."

Seeing that she could not convince Huang Xiaoming, Gao Yuanyuan had no choice but to say.

She felt that compared to Huang Xiaoming, her younger brother Zhou Yutang, whom she had just met, was like a blank slate.

"Sister Yuanyuan, you are really good at judging people."

Zhou Yutang smiled honestly: "I have always received perfect scores in ideological and moral examinations since I was a child."

Don't look at Xiao Ming, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes and a righteous face, and he is very playful. The gossip media often takes photos of him going to nightclubs and having fun with young model girls.

However, brother Xiao Ming is still sober in the world now, and he doesn’t want to get married even if he kills himself.

As for the future, who knows what will happen?

"Xiaotang is indeed very simple. He only focuses on his career. This is what a man should do. Once he has a career, what kind of woman will not be able to do it in the future?"

Huang Xiaoming was so shrewd that he instantly transferred his firepower to Gao Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, don't talk about me anymore. What about you, how are you doing with that great music talent?"

Come on, let's hurt each other.

Gao Yuanyuan: "."

Da Meiyuan didn't say anything, she just drank the red wine in her glass.

No need to say anything more, it’s all in the wine.

Her heart ached after the bitter wine, and Da Meiyuan's eyes were a little blurred and sad.

"Actually, my expectations for relationships are very simple. I just want to find someone I love and love me back together, and then get married. But why is it so difficult?"

Gao Yuanyuan sighed in distress, poured another glass of wine, and continued to drink it down.

"Come on, let's not talk about these spoiling things and let's drink together."

When Huang Xiaoming saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he stopped talking and poured wine immediately.

Zhou Yutang also drank a few drinks with Da Meiyuan to relax his mood.

Then we talked about work. Huang Xiaoming has just finished filming "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "New Shanghai" will be broadcast soon. He also has several other film projects in hand.

Gao Yuanyuan was a little envious: "Well, people in the circle now say that my acting skills are not good, and no one wants to film with me anymore. The scripts that are sent to me are like idiots. I don't even bother to accept them. My life is really boring these days." .”

After being emotionally injured, Da Meiyuan feels a bit like a melancholic beauty.

Huang Xiaoming nodded towards Zhou Yutang: "Then please ask Xiaotang to help you tailor a script. My younger brother is very talented, and it was Zeng Li who became famous in one of his plays."

"Brother Xiao Ming, please stop joking. My studio has just started. What we do is low-cost production. How can I hire a big shot like Sister Yuanyuan?"

Zhou Yutang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It's really not an exaggeration.

Da Meiyuan is now one of the first-line female stars in the industry. She earned several million in remuneration for filming "The Heaven and the Dragon Sword". This was just a few years ago, and now the quoted salary for a single episode is at least 150,000 yuan.

"As long as the script is good, I can reduce the salary."

Gao Yuanyuan sighed faintly: "I haven't been able to get interesting roles recently, so I have no choice but to act in plays."

Although Da Meiyuan's acting skills are relatively casual, she still has some artistic pursuits in her heart.

This can be seen from her acting career. She accepts commercial films that make money, but she also accepts literary films like "Green Red".

"It depends on fate. Maybe one day I will come across a good script."

As he was talking, Huang Xiaoming's phone rang again. This was the fifth time he had answered the phone tonight.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, what's going on?"

Huang Xiaoming held a red wine glass in one hand and picked it up with the other, "Director from Xiangjiang? What project? Yeah, okay, where is it? I'll be there right away, that's all."

After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaoming put down the red wine glass in his hand and said apologetically: "Xiaotang, Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, there is a director in Xiangjiang coming to discuss cooperation. I want to go over and accompany him."

"Xiaotang, please take care of Yuanyuan."

"You should, Brother Xiao Ming, be careful on the road."

Zhou Yutang nodded, not surprised.

Huang Xiaoming is now very close to the two presidents of Huayi, and the news that he is about to switch to Huayi is no longer a secret in the circle. It is almost just an official announcement.

After Huang Xiaoming left, there were only two people left in the box.

Gao Yuanyuan drank some wine and seemed to be a little warm. She brushed her hair casually, held her chin and smiled: "Brother Yutang, tell me if you have any books suitable for me?"

The alcohol was rising, and a touch of rouge flashed on the snowy cheeks, making the pure bright eyes and white teeth look a little delicate.

Looking at the expectation that seemed to show in the bright eyes of Da Meiyuan, Zhou Yutang shook his head slightly and was about to speak, but there seemed to be a soft and melodious voice echoing in his mind:

"I just want to find someone I love and love me back together, and then get married, but why is it so difficult?"

Zhou Yutang looked at Gao Yuanyuan and suddenly had something to say to her.
