Chapter 100 Celebration Banquet Famous in the World【Please subscribe】
"Are you OK?"
Supporting Li Yao, Zhou Yutang asked with concern.
I glanced at her and saw that I hadn't seen her in person for a while. This girl seemed to be more delicate and good-looking.
"Well, it's okay, boss."
Li Yao actually felt a little pain from being hit. His face instantly turned red. He was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to say anything.
Zhou Yutang was distracted by talking on the phone, so she ran out in a hurry without paying attention to either side, and ended up bumping into him.
After Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio signed Li Yao, she was assigned the role of Li Shuci in "Going to School Together". The first season has been completed.
This drama hasn't aired yet, so Li Yao usually doesn't make any announcements and just studies in school.
Now that "Those Years" is so popular, various media are rushing to interview it. Li Shuang wanted to bring a wave of popularity to Li Yao, so he called this girl who was still in school over.
While Sister Shuang was still sending reporters away, the boss Zhou Yutang chatted with his employees to express his concern: "Are you used to running back and forth like this?"
"Actually, it's not bad. I went to a drama school. The courses in art schools are actually quite simple."
"It can be seen that there is really no pressure. Otherwise, where would you have time to watch Milk Tea's concert?"
"Ah, boss, have you seen me?"
Seeing the narrow smile on Zhou Yutang's face, Li Yao was slightly startled. He quickly realized that a touch of surprise appeared on his delicate and beautiful cheeks.
"Well, that night, you and your best friend Yaoyao were sitting in the front row, and I saw them right away."
"Well, Yaoyao is a loyal fan of you, boss. I saw on the forum that you were going to be a guest at Liu Ruoying's concert, so she bought a front row ticket. She was also at Teacher Wu Bai's last concert."
"That's really a big fan."
Zhou Yutang was somewhat impressed by this little rich woman who bought the infield tickets, and smiled: "Did she also play a supporting role in "Classmates"?"
"Yes, she didn't come to the set just to be a star. She just wanted to take a photo with you. But you were too busy, so you came just once. By that time, Yaoyao had finished her work and returned to the devil's capital."
Zhou Yutang's spring breeze-like attitude made Li Yao gradually lose his inhibitions and communicate freely like a friend.
"That's such a pity. In the second half of this year, maybe the second and third seasons of "Classmates" will be filmed together. Then you can call me directly and I will definitely take a photo with her."
"Boss, you said it, then I'll tell Yaoyao, don't forget it."
The corners of Li Yao's mouth curled up in a gentle arc, and after only ten minutes of chatting, he was pulled over to the business office for an interview.
meeting room.
Zhou Yutang and Li Shuang were in a meeting.
The theme of the meeting was the benefits that "Those Years" brought to Koto Studio.
The total publicity cost of "Those Years" was about 8 million. It was originally expected to cost 5 million in the early stage. Later, when the box office started to gain momentum, the publicity efforts were increased, and another 3 million was invested.
The profit generated by a film mainly depends on the box office.
However, the box office is divided between theaters and investors in a roughly half-and-half ratio, followed by taxes. After excluding these, the remaining 40% of the net profit is the profit sharing between the issuer and investors.
In other words, Kodong Studio and Raytheon can get about 40% of the box office profits.
The final box office in the Mainland was 168 million, which is 67.2 million.
The calculation method of box office in other places is more complicated, because there are more relationships to be established. The total box office of Benzhou and Xiangjiang has a profit of 28 million after deducting the share.
Calculated in this way, the total revenue of the movie "Those Years" is nearly 100 million.
Of course, light also costs money.
The announcement of the release was all done by Enlight Media. Putting aside the publicity costs and sharing the share with Enlight, Jiangdong Studio will finally gain about 43 million.
"Yu Tang, I have announced the "Latent" project to the outside world. Several companies are interested in it. What do you think?"
"The total investment in this project is 20 million. Enlight and Guoli Films each have a 20% share, and some of the shares will be reserved for the rest of the studios."
Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers on the table and made a decision quickly.
In this circle, if you don't have a strong background and absolute strength, don't think about living alone.
Koto Studio made "Those Years" which became a hit, but after all, it was still just emerging and its background was somewhat lacking.
At this time, pushing Zhang Guoli to the front to attract firepower is the most correct approach. Jiangdong Studio can take the opportunity to seize the time to develop.
"good."
Li Shuang nodded in response and wrote down the conversation in his notebook.
"Then there is the drama "Classmates". According to the arrangement of Mango TV, it may be scheduled to start broadcasting in July."
"That's no problem. How is the search for a new screenwriter going? I've almost written the outline for the two seasons. If everything goes well, we can start the second and third seasons of "Classmate" this year."
Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead.
Now his name is a golden sign. Several satellite TV stations heard that Jiangdong Studio produced a youth campus TV series, and they directly came to grab it.
"Classmates" was finally sold to Mango TV. On the one hand, it was due to the good relationship with the TV station, and on the other hand, there was another consideration. After all, Mango TV's variety show has the highest traffic in the country, which is good for newcomers from Jiangdong Studio. Very important.
"According to your requirements, two good candidates have been screened out. I have notified them to come for interviews in a few days."
"I'll see for myself then."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.
If the studio wants to expand the screenwriting department, it actually means finding a gunman for him.
Anyway, the characters of the protagonists of "Born Together" are very stable, and this is what Zhou Yutang planned.
He wrote the plot outline and asked new screenwriters with certain writing skills to fill in the details of each episode's script according to his ideas, and finally handed it over to Zhou Yutang for review.
With a few minor changes, the script could probably pass.
Many first-line screenwriters in the industry, including those who have been famous for a long time, have similar operations.
"By the way, the celebration banquet over there in the light will be held tomorrow night, don't forget it."
"Well, I'll take Shi Shi with me then."
……………………
Beijing.
Five-star hotel.
The driver parked the car, and as soon as Zhou Yutang came out, he was faced with a flash of lights.
Buttoning up a suit button, Zhou Yutang still maintained a brilliant business smile even when it was difficult for ordinary people to open his eyes.
This is also the basic skill of being a star, you must always maintain good appearance.
Today he wore a white shirt and a black Armani blazer.
With a tall and straight figure, he is like a walking clothes rack.
In order to cooperate with the more than a dozen reporters present, Zhou Yutang struck various handsome poses, smiled and waved frequently in all directions.
There was a burst of wild shouts at the scene.
Several female reporters’ eyes were shining as they pushed forward desperately.
Fortunately, there were staff maintaining order and setting up a defensive line. Although it was a bit crowded, there was no trouble.
Liu Shishi, who had just gotten out of the car, felt a little uncomfortable being illuminated by the crazy flash lights.
However, seeing Zhou Yutang standing next to him, Liu Shishi relaxed quickly, smiled sweetly, took Zhou Yutang's arm, and waved.
Among them, a female reporter stood in front of her and squeezed to the front with the tonnage of her tank. She successfully blocked her position. She held a microphone and asked: "Zhou Yutang, I am a reporter from "Movie Century". Liu Shishi does not seem to have a professional background and has never acted. I only have some experience in movies and TV series. Do you approve of Liu Shishi’s performance in the movie?”
Zhou Yutang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, supported Liu Shishi's slender waist, protected her towards the hotel, and answered casually: "The first time I saw Shi Shi, I decided it was her.
During the audition, I asked all the actresses to wear ponytails. Only Shi Shi gave me the feeling that best matched the heroine in my mind.
As for not having a professional background, there is no problem at all. Mr. Zhou also did not have a professional background, but her acting skills are very spiritual. I think Liu Shishi has great potential."
Zhou Yutang opened his eyes and told lies, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
As long as you dare to brag, Liu Shishi can also be an actor.
At least her performance in this movie was above the pass mark.
Liu Shishi was very happy.
I was selected at first sight.
She also subconsciously moved closer to Zhou Yutang and answered another female reporter's question: "You asked me how it feels to work with Zhou Yutang? Well, it's a very special feeling. I can only say that Yutang is the most talented person I have ever met. , I learned a lot from him, and I feel like I have made great progress.”
As he spoke, he smiled gently and looked at Zhou Yutang with his eyes, the autumn water was shining, and his eyes were pulsating, as if they could draw threads.
The scene where Liu Shishi looked at Zhou Yutang with admiration just now was caught by many sharp-eyed reporters.
Click! Click! Click!
There was another flash of light.
[The romantic and talented Zhou Yutang went to a banquet with his beautiful lady to celebrate his achievements, and Liu Shishi, a young lady from the Tang Dynasty, fell in love with him! 】
Tomorrow’s news headlines are ready!
Another entertainment reporter asked: "Director Zhou, if the score is 100, how many points would you give to this movie?"
“That’s a good question.”
Zhou Yutang paused slightly and responded with a chuckle: "If the perfect score is 100, let's give it 95. I personally have tried my best, but this is my first time as a director, so there must be some shortcomings, but when I was in adolescence, It’s a natural and subtle emotion. I think it’s been expressed very well. The reaction of many viewers is the best answer. To be honest, it’s not just me. Shi Shi also tried her best. She is also a newcomer. To be able to achieve this level is really I was pleasantly surprised.”
"Where are the last five points deducted?"
"I don't give full marks because I'm afraid I'll be proud of myself."
Immediately, those who feared that the world would be in chaos also came: "Director Zhou, "Slam Dunk", which was released at the same time, is now being suppressed at the box office by "Those Years". Do you have anything to say about this?"
".I am a fan of Jay Chou, I have no other comment."
The reporter wanted to fish, but the hook was a bit shallow. Zhou Yutang was not fooled and continued to move forward while protecting Shi Shi.
After casually dealing with interviews with several entertainment media, Zhou Yutang gave impeccable answers. The gossip reporters felt that they could not dig out any serious information, so they immediately turned their guns and launched a collective attack on Liu Shishi:
"Shi Shi, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
"Shi Shi, Shi Shi, look here! Someone photographed you and Zhou Yutang traveling in the capital at night. Are you two dating?"
“Everyone’s imagination is really rich.”
Liu Shishi smiled slightly and said, "Actually, Yu Tang and I are just good friends. It was a dinner party for the crew, and all the assistants were there. After dinner, we went to the cinema. Mainly because Zhou Yu Tang wanted to see the audience's most direct reaction."
The movie was released and sold well at the box office. Cai Yinong from Tangren Film and Television even smiled crookedly.
She has been in the industry for decades and has seen all kinds of troubles. She had given Liu Shishi a lesson in advance on how to deal with the media's tricky questions, and now her answers are quite decent.
Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi waited outside for more than ten minutes and finally walked into the hotel lobby.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoping was waiting at the door, with a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a straight suit standing beside him.
"Mr. Wang?"
Zhou Yutang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the boss of Guangguang would greet him at the door in person.
"Yu Tang."
Wang Changtian saw Zhou Yutang over there, his lenses flashed, and a warm smile instantly appeared on his face, "You are finally here. If you don't come, Xiaoping and I will go and invite you in person."
"Haha, there are a lot of reporters outside, so I'm a little delayed. Mr. Wang forgives me."
Zhou Yutang smiled slightly.
Mr. Wang took the initiative to say hello to Liu Shishi: "This must be Shi Shi. Xiaoping just talked to me about you."
"Hello, Mr. Wang."
Liu Shishi said politely, still looking a little reserved.
After all, she is just a young actress, and the person standing in front of her is a domestic film and television company giant, even worse than Mr. Cai.
This project has a lot of light and willows, and it has made at least tens of millions.
Money is secondary, but the most important thing is that the company's reputation has soared, which is the real benefit for a large entertainment company.
Mr. Wang invited many guests to today's celebration banquet.
Big names include Mr. Wang from Huayi, Li Lianhua, Big Dog from Galloping Pony, and Jackie Chan from Xiangjiang.
Dark horse director Ning Hao, bald Xu Zheng, Huo Siyan and others are also here.
And Zhou Yutang's old friend Huang Xiaoming came up and hugged Zhou Yutang and said congratulations.
The boss of Guangguang must be in place. Many well-known people in the circle came, and the whole banquet hall seemed to be a gathering of stars. At this time, there was a small commotion at the door.
Zhou Yutang looked up.
Oh haha.
It turned out that Fan Xiaopang, another member of Shuangbing, was also present.
She was wearing a gold sequined suspender skirt, her hair was tied up, revealing her fair neck and skin under the collar. The curvature of the curves was quite amazing. In addition, she was tall and her waist twisted when she walked. She was indeed The dazzling light attracted the attention of most of the men present.
Liu Shishi seemed to notice Zhou Yutang's gaze and curled his lips. Before he could speak, he was taken directly by Mr. Cai to accumulate connections.
Mr. Wang chatted with Zhou Yutang for a few words, and the female seductress who dominated the audience with her beauty had already walked over.
"Mr. Wang, congratulations on the movie's box office success."
With a bright business smile on his face, Fan Xiaopang said hello to Mr. Wang, exchanged a few words, then turned around and rushed towards Zhou Yutang.
Walking closer, Fan Xiaopang took the initiative to extend his hand and smiled sweetly: "Yu Tang, you are really a blockbuster. Your first movie has such a high box office. Congratulations."
"Thank you, Sister Binbin."
Zhou Yutang also shook hands politely and gently, and then let go.
This female goblin is really well-connected. She seems to be able to talk to the big guys on the field. She covers her mouth with her little hands from time to time, looking very happy.
When the guests were almost there, Mr. Wang clapped his hands and started to speak with a blushing face: "This is also the first movie of Enlight with a box office of over 100 million this year, and it is also one of the best investments I have ever made."
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
There was a burst of applause below, and Zhou Yutang looked calm and clapped softly.
Mr. Wang raised his hand and pressed it, and continued: "This is also the first time Yu Tang and I have collaborated. This young man's talent left a very deep impression on me. "Those Years" is undoubtedly a good movie. , it is precisely because of its excellent quality that it has been recognized by the broad audience and performed well at the box office. Yu Tang is the biggest contributor. Today I would like to pay a toast to Yu Tang here and pay tribute to the beautiful youth of those years."
The boss talks, that's it, a lot of blah blah blah.
In fact, Zhou Yutang had never even met Mr. Wang. He only discussed the investment with Li Xiaoping. Guangguang initially thought it was a small project.
Now, it’s all Mr. Wang’s credit.
Finally finished speaking, Mr. Wang raised his wine glass and pointed it towards the guests present: "Finally, I wish you all a prosperous career!"
The guests present also stood up and toasted together to show their dignity.
Many reporters came into the banquet hall. They were all arranged by the lighting side in advance, and they took pictures of the big shots in the banquet hall.
Zhou Yutang glanced slightly and saw Mr. Cai from Tangren chatting with Fan Xiaopang.
I don't know what they are talking about, but I look towards myself from time to time. The smile of Liu Shishi next to me is slightly stiff, but the female demon Fan Xiaopang is much more at ease.
It can't be said that she was at ease. She simply regarded this place as her home court and took the initiative to assume all kinds of enchanting poses. Every important person present, including Mr. Wang, Big Dog Brother, including Zhou Yutang, all stayed with her. Took a group photo.
Mr. Wang came over to have a drink with Zhou Yutang again, said a few words of encouragement, and then went to communicate with several other bosses.
On such occasions, socializing is unavoidable.
As the director and starring actor of "Those Years", Zhou Yutang has a steady stream of people looking for him.
"Director Zhou, congratulations on having the opportunity to cooperate."
"Yu Tang, this is my business card."
"Mr. Zhou, I am the manager of Galloping Horse. I have always admired you. I wonder if the book "Introduction to Architecture" in your hand can be sold? We can negotiate the price."
"Yu Tang, I have a play here, and the male lead hasn't been found yet. If you're interested, I'll send you the script."
The reason why entertainment is called entertainment.
They were all being treated as expected, coming and going, and there was a huge crowd, all with smiling faces and good things to say.
Some people take advantage of this opportunity to expand their network of contacts, while others take advantage of this opportunity to discuss cooperation.
These are all normal things.
Fan Xiaopang has been paying attention to Zhou Yutang's situation.
Seeing this young man being surrounded by stars, he quickly adapted to this situation. Not only was he not unfamiliar at all, but he felt like a fish in water, talking to this group of well-known people in the industry.
"Sorry, excuse me."
Fan Xiaopang raised his glass to apologize to a producer next to him, then twisted his waist and walked towards Zhou Yutang Pingping Tingting with enchanting steps.
Thank you for your generous reward.
