Chapter 73 Fox, layout, Liu Shishi [Updates with monthly tickets]
"Thanks."
Song Qian didn't insist, and felt very warm in her heart when she got in the car.
"Are you from Lu Province?"
"how do you know?"
"I have read the information. There is a female trainee from SM Company from Shandong Province who is very good at dancing. I have a good friend who is like you and graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy. Maybe you have met her at school. .”
"Wow, is it true? I just came here as a trainee this year."
Song Qian felt a little touched by the recognition.
She really didn't expect that Zhou Yutang had heard of her name.
What a wonderful fate.
The two of them got to know each other under such circumstances, so they gradually started talking and chatted all the way in the car.
Mainly Song Qian was talking and Zhou Yutang was listening.
I heard from her that the living habits here are different from those in China, and there are also some rules and knowledge of South Korean trainees.
Apart from her, SM also has a trainee named Han Gen from China who has successfully debuted and is a member of the Super Junior boy group.
It’s interesting to look at another country’s entertainment industry from another perspective and broaden your horizons.
However, the happy times are always short-lived.
Song Qian lived in the trainee dormitory arranged by the company, not far from the SM company building, and it took about ten minutes to reach her destination.
This girl with a very hearty smile didn't forget to thank her again after getting off the car. Zhou Yutang smiled casually and made a fist gesture to her:
"Fighting! Come on and make your debut."
"Pfft, so are you. When the movie comes out, I will support it!"
At this time, Song Qian felt that Zhou Yutang did not look like a big shot talking and laughing with Li Xiuman.
Instead, he is like a friend around him.
After waving goodbye and watching Zhou Yutang's business car go away, Miss Song Xi raised her lips lightly and walked cheerfully up the stairs, her whole body in high spirits.
……………………
The perspective returns to Lee Soo Man.
As the big boss of the South Korean entertainment industry, Lee Soo Man is not only busy with work, but also has a lot of things to do every day.
I was able to ask Zhou Yutang out for dinner and had an in-depth conversation for more than two hours. In fact, I had already postponed several meetings.
"President, someone posted online about Girls' Generation fans beating up fans of other groups and tearing down posters of other groups. The impact has been very bad."
"Do you still need me to handle this kind of thing personally? Or do you mean that you are incapable of solving it?"
Li Xiuman's face was solemn, and the eyes behind the lenses were cold.
Two consecutive questions had already made the head of Sm Company feel a chill down his back. He quickly bowed his body at 90 degrees and his attitude was as humble as dust.
"Inform the public relations department. Didn't Yoona participate in Zhou Yutang's activities?"
Lee Soo Man pushed up his glasses and said, "Let me prepare a press release, whether it's a scandal or anything. In short, we have to suppress the negative information about the fan beating incident and resolve it privately. Do you understand?"
"President, Girls' Generation has just debuted. If the scandal spreads, will it be bad for Yoona?"
Team Leader Han from the agency department asked in a low voice.
"For such a simple question, do you need me to explain it more to you?"
A cold light suddenly bloomed behind Li Xiuman's lenses, and his voice rose a few degrees. He stared at the trembling Team Leader Han like an old wolf: "Before you become famous, you must seize every opportunity to let everyone remember your name. In a few days If I ask someone to clarify, Zhou Yutang has already agreed to cooperate with the hype."
"Okay! President, I'll do it right now!"
"President, there are still a few documents that need your signature."
Just as Team Leader Han left, another secretary came in holding a few documents.
After Lee Soo Man signed the contract, there was another board meeting, and the topic discussed was TVXQ's Asia tour.
After the meeting, it was already one o'clock in the morning. Li Xiuman still maintained his energy and went to the practice room downstairs to watch for a while.
"Xiuyan Unnie, Yoona Unnie was chosen to perform on the same stage as Zhou Yutang today."
"Our Yoona is so lucky. Xiaoxian, do you want to go too?"
"Um, no, Unnie, do you think our debut can be successful?"
"It will definitely succeed, let's keep practicing!"
Very good, very motivated.
Li Xiuman nodded, with an invisible smile on his prim face.
He didn't go home, he went directly back to the office, took off his glasses, sat back on the office chair, closed his eyes and rested.
Over the years, from having nothing to creating a legendary entertainment empire like SM, he has always had this habit.
As long as your consciousness remains awake, carefully review today's gains and losses before going to sleep every night.
Recalling the conversation with Zhou Yutang tonight, Li Xiuman intertwined his fingers and overlapped them on his lower abdomen.
"A very ambitious and capable young man."
"Do you want to use the South Korean market as a springboard to feedback on your career in China?"
"A piece of cake that big, if I could take a bite."
Lee Soo Man seemed to be smiling while squinting in a dream.
……………………
After getting in the car.
Li Shuang couldn't wait to ask: "Yu Tang, do you really want to develop in South Korea?"
"Just opening a branch is not realistic in the short term. Let's get online with Li Xiuman first."
Zhou Yutang crossed his legs and leaned against the seat, tapping his fingers rhythmically on his knees.
The focus of his career development is still at home, and his definition of the South Korean market is export and making money.
From now on, Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio will mainly focus on high-quality film and television content.
When the time comes, China will make one version first, and then once the adaptation rights are sold, South Korea can make another version.
This fish eats two fish, it is Qin Shihuang who touched the electric door and won.
Zhou Yutang also knows.
If he really wanted to open a branch in South Korea, he would definitely not be able to do it alone.
South Koreans are notoriously narrow-minded and xenophobic, so it would be great if we could get Lee Soo Man, the big boss of Korean entertainment, to work together to make a fortune.
Even if the cooperation was not agreed upon, Zhou Yutang still had nothing to lose.
……………………
"Li Ziwei is so handsome!"
"I went to the scene, and Oppa Zhou Yutang is even more handsome in real life than on TV!"
"Who is the girl singing?"
"Sm's Girls' Generation? There are so many newcomers debuting recently."
"Wow, Dafa, you are so lucky to be able to perform with Zhou Yutang and Oppa."
"But Lin Yoona's stage performance seems to be very good."
"My friend is a makeup artist backstage, and I heard that these two fell in love at first sight."
The next day.
Not surprisingly, the entire South Korean entertainment website news page reported the grand event of yesterday.
Zhou Yutang's popularity has soared in South Korea, and Lin Yoona has also received a lot of attention and love, becoming a very popular new girl group idol singer in the South Korean entertainment industry.
Zhou Yutang, who took a flight back to the capital early in the morning, naturally did not know these things.
For him, in addition to reaping a wave of popularity in South Korea and making money, the main gain from this trip was to get in touch with the old fox Lee Soo Man.
The two had a meal together, and the process was full of temptations.
This godfather-level figure in South Korea's entertainment industry is very optimistic about Zhou Yutang's future development and has taken the initiative to show goodwill.
Zhou Yutang was also very clear-headed about this, and the main reason was probably not because of himself.
It’s the huge market of more than one billion people behind him, and the discerning old foxes in these circles are getting better and better at their calculations.
When Zhou Yutang returned to the capital, he wanted to have a good rest, but found that there were still a lot of things waiting for him.
The first is the dinner with Teacher Long Yi.
That night, he was able to win over Teacher Long, and the two of them hugged each other and called themselves brothers.
The novel "Latent" has only a little over 10,000 words. Generally, short stories like this published by members of the China Writers Association have a market price of around 20,000 to 300,000.
Zhou Yutang directly gave him 500,000 yuan. This price can be said to be quite sincere.
After hearing about Zhou Yutang's idea of adapting the script, Teacher Long Yi readily nodded in agreement.
On the one hand, after this period of dating, he had a deeper understanding of Zhou Yutang, including his personality and abilities.
On the other hand, a traditional scholar like Teacher Long also has to eat to support his family, and this money is also a huge sum for him.
Both parties are very satisfied.
Now that I have obtained the copyright for the novel, this piece of meat is now firmly in my own pot. I will first sort out my ideas and then adapt the script.
certainly.
The most important thing right now is the movie "Those Years."
Zhou Yutang came back from South Korea and communicated with Li Xiaoping of Guangwang. The preliminary preparations are now complete, and the main creative team will meet in two days to start filming.
……………………
"Taozi, what do you think of me wearing this dress?"
In a hotel in Beijing, Liu Shishi was in his room, looking at the beautiful clothes on the bed, and was dazzled.
"Sister Shi Shi, you look beautiful no matter what you wear."
"My little mouth is so sweet, but I think this white floral dress is too plain? How about this little tie-dye floral dress?"
Liu Shishi compared two skirts in front of the floor-length mirror and had trouble choosing.
"Sister Shi Shi, I'm just going to have a meal with Zhou Yutang, isn't it?"
The little assistant Taozi looked at Liu Shishi's joyful expression, hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Tao just graduated this year, and her nickname is Tao Zi. She joined Tangren Film and Television, and her colleagues in the company gave her the nickname Tao Zi.
Liu Shishi's manager is Cai Yinong, and Mr. Cai arranges her event announcements and some film appointments.
Originally, there was a senior agent who assisted Mr. Cai in helping Liu Shishi deal with some life problems, but not long after Taozi joined Tangren Film and Television, the old agent was poached by other companies.
In this way, Taozi, who had been interning with Cai Yinong for several months and performed well, was automatically promoted to be the personal assistant of the company's future sister.
To be honest, Taozi was a little excited at first.
An ordinary college student who has just graduated becomes a regular intern as soon as he starts working. This month his salary can be increased by several hundred!
Moreover, she was following Liu Shishi, the little girl from Tang Dynasty Film and Television, who was Mr. Cai's pet peeve.
As long as Liu Shishi's career develops well, Taozi will receive additional bonuses.
After the brief excitement, Taozi felt a little uneasy.
In the past, she always followed Mr. Cai's butt and obeyed her instructions to run errands. Now she has to be on her own, and the pressure naturally comes.
How to help Shi Shi handle the relationship with the director and other actors on the set?
What if the first lady in the company has a bad temper?
Taozi was determined to work hard.
Out of trust, Mr. Cai entrusted Liu Shishi, the company's key trainee, to her, which gave her the feeling of carrying the hope of the whole village on her shoulders.
After this period of contact, Taozi found that Liu Shishi had an exceptionally good personality.
It was unlike some of the stars she had come into contact with on the set who were not high-ranking and could boss around their assistants like dogs.
Not only did Liu Shishi have a good personality, he was also very kind to her. The two of them got along more like friends than as assistants.
The one bad thing is that Shi Shi is too straightforward and lacks experience. Sometimes when encountering happy things, he will laugh without caring about the image of the female artist.
Image management, image management!
Give alms!
Taozi was very anxious at this time.
When she was interning with Mr. Cai, she carefully observed Sister K's way of doing things and took a thick notebook of notes.
Among them is artist image management.
Do a good job in managing your image in front of the public. If you go forward, you can send out press releases to outshine other actresses, and if you go back, you can market your persona.
If the image management is not in place and the media takes ugly photos from different angles, it will be tragic.
Liu Shishi's appearance is naturally very good.
She is from Beijing. Her family is not very rich, but it is relatively well-off. She has been learning ballet since she was a child. Her posture and posture are impeccable no matter when and where she stands. In addition, she has smooth and beautiful shoulders and neck lines. Even among Xiaohua who debuted at the same time, she is quite outstanding.
But for such a gentle and beautiful woman, she often laughs heartily when encountering happy things, which makes her look too cheerful.
Liu Shishi didn't care, but Taozi had to think about her.
I told Shi Shi several times in private, including using scientific results from experts to explain that frequent laughter may cause girls to develop crow's feet early.
Liu Shishi also loves beauty. He listened to it at the time, but soon forgot about it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yutang should be blamed.
Taozi felt very resentful. As a personal assistant, she knew that Shi Shi often chatted with this guy, and Liu Shishi would either grit his teeth in anger at Zhou Yutang or be amused by him.
No.
Today, Shi Shi was kidnapped again.
After experiencing the difficulty of choosing, Liu Shishi wore the little white dress she originally selected, looking pure, beautiful and gentle.
Taozi silently carried her backpack and followed Liu Shishi and Zhou Yutang about 10 meters behind.
Liu Shishi walked very fast, and she used her short legs to trot to keep up.
She didn't know what Zhou Yutang said, but when she saw Shi Shi's heartfelt and cheerful laughter, Tao Zi felt resentful in her heart.
Alas, it's so hard for me.
Zhou Yutang, Zhou Yutang, don’t you keep teasing my Shi Shi?
The two were talking and laughing.
In fact, it was Liu Shishi who proposed the dinner party tonight.
There will be a meeting with film creators in the capital in a few days. She has finished her filming of "Sword and Sword III". During this time, she has been preparing for the film and returned to the capital in advance.
I happened to hear about Zhou Yutang’s tragic experience of eating kimchi for several days during an event in South Korea, so I specially recommended to him a time-honored shabu-shabu restaurant in Beijing to improve his food.
Taozi followed Liu Shishi and looked around like an agent from time to time to see if anyone recognized the two people in disguise.
Mainly Zhou Yutang.
It's really hot now.
Flowers bloom outside the wall and fragrance blooms inside the wall. I just returned from an event in South Korea. The domestic entertainment media collectively reported on it and made it directly to the headlines.
In comparison, Liu Shishi is not that famous.
At present, she has only appeared in supporting roles in a few TV series. Although she has Cai Yinong's support and has no shortage of resources and various drafts, the real success depends on her works, Liu Shi Shique's It’s the work.
Zhou Yutang wore a peaked cap, a pair of flat glasses, and a mask on his face.
Liu Shishi wore a simple and clean little white dress.
The dinner party in the evening was also very enjoyable.
Zhou Yutang's agent didn't come because he had something to do. Taozi listened to the two people chatting and laughing and silently focused on cooking.
Having said that, this time-honored shabu-shabu restaurant is good, and you can’t get such a taste in Shanghai.
We just had a simple dinner together and talked about the movie.
Taozi could hear it.
Liu Shishi trusted Zhou Yutang very much and even relied a little on him.
However, this person is indeed mature and steady in his words and actions, and it is easy for others to feel reliable.
After eating together, Zhou Yutang took the initiative to drive the two of them back.
Naturally, Tao Zi went back to the hotel that Tang Ren had booked here, and Liu Shishi wanted to go home to make final preparations for joining the group.
When they arrived at the location and were about to get out of the car, Zhou Yutang asked her to wait, then took out a beautifully packaged bag from the trunk and handed it over.
"Um, Yu Tang, this is."
Taozi glanced blankly, and saw that there was a South Korean cosmetics set in the bag.
She suddenly came to a conclusion.
As a delicate pig girl who works in the film and television industry, Taozi often discusses fashion, makeup and other things with her best friends.
This is a well-known cosmetics brand in South Korea. It has been among the top three in sales for several years in a row.
This brand is not top-notch, but the quality of this set is mid-to-high-end, and the price at domestic counters is at least one to two thousand.
Tao Zi is more pragmatic. When she first started working, she was reluctant to spend so much money on cosmetics. When she suddenly received a gift, she was a little at a loss.
"For this event in South Korea, the organizer there gave a lot of gifts."
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "This is for ladies only. It seems to be quite famous in South Korea. I can't use it myself. Shi Shi said that you usually take good care of her. Thank you. Please help me solve a problem."
No, I was born as a charity person, so I don’t care if I die. Anyway, I can’t be swayed by these petty gains!
Tao Zi was a little moved, but her reason overcame the temptation, and she still pushed the exquisite packaging box back and firmly declined: "Yu Tang, thank you for your kindness. I am Liu Shishi's personal assistant. It is my duty to help her handle some things." We work in-house, and our company has regulations that prohibit accepting other people’s things.”
Zhou Yutang glanced at the girl named Taozi in surprise.
Although he has an ordinary appearance and body, he has clear eyes and a firm stance. It can be seen that he has good character and is really serious about giving.
To untie the bell, one must tie the bell. Zhou Yutang didn't say much and winked at Shi Shi.
Liu Shi Shichao was very good at observing words and expressions, and he understood everything at a glance. He quietly made an OK gesture, turned around and said with a smile:
"Taozi, just keep it. This cosmetics is only for women. He can't use it anyway. Keeping it is a waste of resources. I heard that this brand is endorsed by Cheng Jun in "Stairway to Heaven". I have used it before. , the effect is really good.”
The two girls started talking about cosmetics.
"That"
Taozi began to hesitate.
"Don't do that. Just listen to me and keep it."
Liu Shishi pushed the cosmetics directly into her arms, then winked at Zhou Yutang and smiled sweetly.
Done!
Look how good I am!
