Chapter 105 So red that it turned purple

Chapter 105 So red that it turned purple

"Hello, Mr. Han."

Zhou Yutang did double-dodge and parked the car on the side of the road.

In this circle, there is only one Han Sanping.

For those who often read movies-related newspapers and magazines, if you pay a little attention, you will find that this short-cut man can be seen at every high-end event related to Chinese movies.

Because he is the leader in the Chinese film industry.

After a brief chat, Han Sanping didn't say anything.

He was inspecting Xiangjiang during this period, and his tone was very polite, saying that he would invite Zhou Yutang to tea when he returned to Beijing.

This is the first surprise today.

The second surprise came soon.

When he saw Zeng Li, Zhou Yutang's eyes widened in shock.

Sister Li dressed simply and plainly today, wearing a pair of clean cloth shoes.

Her hair was simply tied back, there were no extra accessories on her body, and she was wearing a hat. Her lips were slightly pursed, exuding a firm and decisive air.

Zeng Li is still Zeng Li, she is still as beautiful, but she seems to be very different.

To Zhou Yutang, she exuded a natural and rustic atmosphere.

After asking Brother Qiang to honk the horn twice, Zeng Li turned around and saw Zhou Yutang through the rolled-down car window, with surprise suddenly blooming in his eyes.

After getting into the car with his assistant Wenwen, Zeng Li sat in the back seat with a smile on his face and tilted his head: "This car is good, you bought it new, right?"

"I just bought it. It's okay. Let's eat first. Everything has been arranged."

"Um, boss, I have something to do at home. How about I take a taxi and go back by myself?"

Wenwen, the assistant sitting in the passenger seat, saw Zeng Li quickly kissing Zhou Yutang on the cheek through the rearview mirror and said seriously.

"I'll take you back after dinner. You've been working hard for a while."

Zhou Yutang took the two village girls who had just arrived in the city to have a big meal at the hotel they had booked in advance, then went straight to Zeng Li's house, and asked Brother Qiang to send Wenwen back.

After returning to that warm little world, and only the two of them were left together, Zhou Yutang sighed with emotion: "Sister Li, I haven't seen you for a few months, I feel that you have changed a lot."

He was answered by Zeng Li's passionate kiss.

In the past, Zhou Yutang took the initiative in this kind of matter. I have never seen the beauty in Tsing Yi take such initiative.

Today I got to experience the fiery passion of the beauty in green.

"Yu Tang, why did Han Sanping find you?"

After the battle, Zeng Li leaned against Zhou Yutang's chest, a strange look blooming in her beautiful eyes.

She had seen the humble Xiao Zhou who had bet all his fortune on "Want to See You", and she had also seen him accumulate connections at every turn.

But suddenly, this man has grown to this point.

"Maybe the report card of "Those Years" is too good."

Zhou Yutang hugged the beauty and chuckled: "In the film and television industry, you can't do without Mr. Han. I guess he wants to talk to me about the next film."

In fact, Ning Hao is also like this.

That dark horse film "Crazy Stone" begged my grandfather to sue my grandma, and finally got investment from King Liu Tianwang. After becoming famous in the first battle, he was immediately spotted by Mr. Han, and he is currently filming this "Crazy Racing" , there is investment from China Film Group.

"Are you ready to make your next film?"

Zeng Li was a little surprised and stood up, her shoulders were smooth and white.

As soon as Zhou Yutang glanced down, there was a change, and he immediately knew that he was distracted. He covered himself with a quilt and gave him a slightly annoyed look.

This brother never has enough to eat.

"Not sure yet."

Zhou Yutang shook his head: "I have a few ideas and discussed them in several meetings. Sister Shuang's suggestion is for me to continue making youth films. Even the stories are ready-made. I wrote "Introduction to Buildings" and several short stories." , are very suitable to be adapted into movie scripts.”

"Then why not make it? Wenwen said that you are now a well-deserved campus male god. If you continue to make youth movies, you will probably have many fans to support you."

Zeng Li asked curiously, leaning against Zhou Yutang's body.

Zhou Yutang said in a leisurely manner: "I have some other ideas in my mind right now. Let's talk about the youth film when we have the opportunity in the future... Let's finish the "Latent" project first. It has been prepared for so long, and even Sister Li, you have put in so much effort. many."

In the beginning, I made youth films just for the sake of progress. Now it has reached the ceiling of youth films, and it is difficult to make further progress.

Moreover, the studio is already in operation, and Zhou Yutang is not short of money now. Unless there are special circumstances, youth films will not be considered for the time being.

"How is life there, Sister Li?"

"It's okay. In fact, that kind of living situation is almost isolated from the world and has little access to information, but it is quite interesting to live in a small independent world."

Zeng Li pursed her lips and smiled: "Wenwen has suffered a lot with me."

"You can tell, this girl has become darker and thinner. Do you think after she comes home, will her mother suspect that I tricked her daughter into mining?"

Zhou Yutang could also see that this former temporary assistant was a down-to-earth girl who was very discerning and had performed well several times. She could be trained as the backbone of the studio and receive a big red envelope at the end of the year.

"By the way, Yu Tang, are you planning to be a director or an actor in the future?"

Zeng Li drew circles on Zhou Yutang's chest.

"Become a director. It's quite interesting. I like making movies. If there are roles that interest me, I'll take them."

After two years of being around, Zhou Yutang has become more and more familiar with the rules of the game in this circle.

Apart from investors, the director’s position is at the top of the pyramid.

Of course, even though he was at the top of his game right after his debut, he grossed 260 million in box office across Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan, and the media touted him as a talented new director.

In fact, with his current level, he is definitely not top-notch.

This is what keeps him going.

Zhou Yutang really wants to make progress.

……………………

April.

Wudang Mountain, Xiaoyao Valley.

The Yitian crew is filming.

After "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" ended, Cai Yinong got on the line with Big Beard and inserted Liu Shishi into the Yitian crew to play a guest role as the girl in yellow shirt.

As a descendant of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, he lives in the Tomb of the Living Dead, but he only appears in the play very rarely, and his role is not too large.

After filming Liu Shi Shi's part today, she was officially finished filming on the set. Zhang Jizhong stood up from behind the monitor and took the lead in applauding: "Yes, Shi Shi's fighting scene is definitely eye-catching."

"As expected of Sister Shi Shi."

"Awesome, she brought out the unique charm of the girl in yellow shirt."

All the crew members also applauded.

There may be some elements of rainbow fart, but most of it is a sigh from the heart. Liu Shishi's costume drama is really enjoyable to watch.

Even the two heroines An Yixuan and Liu Jing looked at Liu Shishi with admiration.

The smooth and fluid costume fight scenes are definitely at the top level in the industry, and the people are also very nice. They are very popular now. They don't put on airs and treat every staff member very politely.

"Thank you, director, and everyone. It was mainly because of everyone's good cooperation that it went so smoothly."

Liu Shishi responded generously.

Red energy can nourish people.

After following Zhou Yutang in making a hit movie, Liu Shishi's mentality also quietly changed.

She gradually matured.

The reception and hospitality are far from what they used to be.

Tao Zi, the assistant next to her, felt this the most. She felt that Liu Shishi seemed to be deliberately imitating Zhou Yutang's speaking and acting style.

"Let's finish work early today and give everyone a break. The hotel has been booked. Go back and clean up. Remember to attend Shi Shi's closing banquet."

Zhang Jizhong smiled kindly and announced in front of everyone.

The crew immediately burst into cheers.

Zhang Dabeard usually digs a lot, and rarely bleeds to improve everyone's food.

"Director, this is too polite."

Liu Shishi was also a little flattered.

Logically speaking, she was just a guest star and didn't have much of a role. Unexpectedly, the bearded man even held a closing party for her.

"Yes, if you can play this role, you will be part of the crew."

Zhang Jizhong smiled and gave Liu Shishi a thumbs up: "Yu Tang and I have known each other since we were on the set of the Condor Goddess. I could tell at that time that he was not simple. I also watched the movie you made with him, and that was this "

"Thank you, Director Zhang, for the compliment."

"You're welcome, we're all our own people."

After a while of politeness, the executive director reminded the reporters that they were all here, and Liu Shishi went to be interviewed in costume with several of the main creators.

More than a dozen reporters came, and there were more reporters surrounding Liu Shishi than the heroine Zhou Zhiruo.

He Zhuoyan, who plays Xiao Zhao, is very envious.

There is no way, who makes Liu Shishi so popular now.

The lingering popularity of "Those Years" has not dissipated, and Liu Shishi became an instant star with it. She is called "the nation's first love" and the goddess in the eyes of countless boys.

Although she doesn't do much business personally, the number of Tieba fans has surged during this period. The number of little lions has surpassed that of the most popular little flower Yang Mi, and her fighting power is super strong.

Media reporters swarmed in.

Liu Shishi responded generously and decently, and briefly talked about his feelings about filming.

Mainly all kinds of praise.

He exaggerated that Hu Hu was very professional, praised Deng Chao for his good acting skills, and praised the crew members for being very good and getting along well with each other. In short, I learned a lot.

Tangren Film and Television has taught interviews like this in training courses, and Shi Shi is also very smart.

After the interview ended, several vans of breadmen went straight to the hotel.

Needless to say, several of the heroines also surrounded Liu Shishi as they exchanged glasses of wine. They all had smiling faces, as if they were as close as sisters.

Deng Chao politely came up with a cup and asked proactively: "Shi Shi, are you familiar with Yu Tang?"

"A very good friend."

Liu Shishi nodded reservedly, with a slight smile on his beautiful face: "Brother Chao, do you know him?"

When she joined the team, filming had already started for some time.

Just like a transfer student, when he first arrived in a new class, there must have been a period of difficulty in adapting to it. The director and the male lead Deng Chaoduo took care of him, so Liu Shishi was able to quickly integrate.

"I've been fascinated by him for a long time, but I never had the chance to meet him."

Deng Chao rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "That."

"Then I'll introduce you to you when I get the chance."

Liu Shishi seemed to have noticed his thoughts and took the initiative to speak.

"Thank you, Shi Shi."

Deng Chao was very grateful: "Remember to look for me when you come to the capital in the future. I will treat you to dinner with Zhou Yutang."

After the closing banquet, Liu Shishi returned to the hotel. After washing and applying skin care, he lay on the bed and called Zhou Yutang.

The two places are usually separated and cannot see each other often. She is used to sharing her life with Zhou Yutang and all kinds of little things she encounters while filming.

Listening to Shi Shi talking about the Deng Dynasty tonight, Zhou Yutang chuckled and said, "Brother Chao has been having a hard time lately."

"What's wrong?"

Liu Shishi was a little curious: "Isn't Brother Chao a popular star in Huayi? Last year he competed with Huang Xiaoming for the title of brother."

"When filming "Assembly", Deng Chao was one of the leading actors. At that time, he was in a relationship with Sun Li. He probably didn't put all his thoughts on the movie. Later, he rarely even participated in the promotion. Feng Xiaogang was very dissatisfied."

Huang Xiaoming had been overshadowed by Huang Xiaoming in the company, and now he offended Xiaogangpao, Huayi's number one director. Brother Chao had a hard time in Huayi.

"Yu Tang, Brother Chao is a very nice person and takes good care of me. I even promised to introduce you to you at the wedding banquet in the evening. I forgot about your relationship with Huang Xiaoming. You won't blame me, right?"

Liu Shishi probably knew why Deng Chao took such good care of him.

The purpose is to get to know Zhou Yutang.

The man you choose must be excellent, and he will be a gold medal screenwriter with a hit drama.

Nowadays, Zhou Yutang is very attractive to actors in the circle. Not to mention actors, Zhang Dabeard also takes the initiative to establish a relationship with her.

All because of Zhou Yutang.

"Why should I blame you?"

Zhou Yutang laughed dumbly: "Although Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming are in a competitive relationship, they are very polite in private. I admire Brother Chao very much. He is a good actor. If there is a chance, we can cooperate."

"By the way, what are your work arrangements next?"

"I asked Sister K to help me find connections and went to the Magic Theater to inquire. It seemed a bit difficult. I'm still waiting for news there, and then I have to shoot commercials. It's so tiring."

Liu Shishi's white calves shook and she acted coquettishly.

Listening to Shi Shi's coquettish voice and those trivial things, until her even breathing came from the other side of the phone.

This girl chatted on the phone again and fell asleep.

Zhou Yutang felt inexplicably relieved.

It seems that I feel a quiet taste of time.

Cai Yinong chats with Zhou Yutang every day recently.

He talks more frequently than Shi Shi.

It's not that she had any ideas, it was mainly because she was targeting several copyrights in Zhou Yutang's hands.

Cai Yinong's career has taken off recently.

First, "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" at the end of last year became a hit, and then Liu Shishi and Zhou Yutang's "Those Years" also became a hit. With this, Liu Shishi rose to the top and officially became the number one star of Tangren Film and Television Company.

Now Shi Shi's external salary has increased several times compared to before, and he has been connected to several endorsements, making a lot of money.

"Yu Tang, "Introduction to Architecture" and "Love Like a Bouquet" are available at whatever price you want. If you have any conditions, just mention them. I will try my best to do whatever I can!"

"Sister Cai, I'm sorry, these two books are in the planned projects of our studio and are not for sale to the public."

Zhou Yutang is also very direct. We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to play tricks.

Why give away the money you can earn to others?

"Yu Tang, you don't know that there are actually big opinions within the company about the matter between you and Shi Shi, but I suppressed it. I also helped Shi Shi run into the Magic City Theater and made many connections."

This path didn't work, so Cai Yinong started to play the emotional card again, mainly because he wanted Zhou Yutang to remember her kindness and not forget her if good things happen in the future.

"By the way, Sister Cai, how's that going?"

"It's very difficult."

"That means there's not much hope."

"You can't say that. I'll try with someone else."

"."

Zhou Yutang shook his head.

Even though Tangren Film and Television is considered to be one of the top private film and television companies in Shanghai, Cai Yinong's connections are really not that good.

He hung up Mr. Cai's phone and looked at the entertainment portal.

"Pony Galloping is preparing for "Love to the End", and the original cast of the drama such as Xu Jinglei, Li Yapeng, Wang Xuebing, etc. have confirmed their starring roles, and the lineup is luxurious!"

"The filming of Huayi's love movie "Love Has a Will" is progressing gratifyingly. Wu Yanzu and Li Binbin are starring. It is expected to be completed in May."

"Beijing New Picture Pictures Co., Ltd.'s "Hawthorn Tree Love" project has been approved, and the most beautiful heroine will be selected in a nationwide audition. Zhang Weiping said that he will team up with Zhang Yimou to create a ceiling for youth romance films."

Zhou Yutang was a little stunned.

He seems to have changed the direction of the domestic entertainment and film industry invisibly.

Originally, the most popular thing in the domestic entertainment and film industry in recent years has been the martial arts dramas adapted by famous actors. One hit and the other became popular, and the movies were mainly commercial productions starring actors from Hong Kong.

Last year, there began to be a trend of hundreds of flowers blooming.

If the emergence of "Want to Meet You" made film and television companies in the industry focus on youth-type scripts, then "Those Years", which exploded at the box office, made those film and television companies completely crazy.

Who is not jealous?

For a small-production film with a cost of 20 million, the total box office in the three places across the Taiwan Strait was nearly 260 million.

Liu Shishi, a little flower who was not too popular, immediately became popular and became an instant hit.

Zhou Yutang is even more popular and has been promoted from one of the four beauties in the world to the national male god.

"Those Years" has not yet been released, and several film and television companies in the industry have begun to put youth film projects on their agenda, preparing to follow suit.

Youth campus romance movies are completely popular.

The most intuitive impact is that the copyright prices of youth romance novels on the market have also taken off.

For the few novels Zhou Yutang collected in Jingjiang a few years ago, the copyright price of a single copy has at least doubled.

Huayi Company, the leader in the industry, saw that there was "Want to See You" in the past and "Those Years" in the later. Each of Zhou Yutang's works became more popular than the last, so they directly contacted the studio and wanted to copyright several of Zhou Yutang's youth novels. Get it in a package, the price of each one is no less than 2 million.

This is currently the top price for film and television adaptations in the industry.

All were rejected by Zhou Yutang.

Generally, the investment payback cycle for a movie is about half a year to one year.

When a movie is released by theaters, the money will be given to the distribution company based on the investment ratio. The distribution company will deduct the distribution fee and then remit the money to the producer. After deducting the promotion fee, the money will be given to the producer based on the investment ratio. .

"Those Years" has only been finished for less than a month now, and the payment has not yet arrived.

But Zhou Yutang is not short of money either.

The first payment for "Let's Get Married" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" produced last year have been received, and there are still eight figures of liquidity in the studio's account.

In addition, I asked Sister Shuang to go to South Korea and brought back good news.

She has an old classmate living in South Korea.

Zhou Yutang met on video, a woman named Pei Yun.

She is about thirty years old. She is not a beauty, but she has a strong aura. After graduation, she worked in a South Korean entertainment company. She became the team leader within two years based on her own ability, which shows that she is very capable.

An agreement was reached with Pei Yun to put the South Korean branch of Jiangdong Film and Television Studio in charge of him.
