Chapter 149 The advantage is mine
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
Zhou Yutang has the ambition to build an entertainment dynasty, but there is still a long way to go.
The two parties have confirmed their intention to cooperate in the music variety show "Singer" and will conduct business negotiations, mainly to compete with each other in terms of profit distribution.
This is also normal.
The profits involved in an excellent popular variety show may be nine figures.
"The Voice" is a good example.
Careful negotiation is necessary to achieve a result acceptable to everyone.
Early April.
After Zhou Yutang's appearance on "A Date with Lu Yu" was broadcast, it immediately aroused an extremely enthusiastic response.
"Rather than rely on face to make a living, I would rather rely on talent. Zhou Yutang is really the prince of golden sentences. It is so interesting to listen to him speak."
"Hot knowledge: The script of "Latent" was written by Zhou Yutang, who is also Xie Ruolin in "Latent"."
"Zhou Yutang looks ordinary, and Gu Tian is so ordinary to me. So who am I? A piece of shit thrown by Nuwa?"
"What Zhou Yutang said makes sense. I also feel that Lu Yu's sitting posture is really weird. But today, Lu Yu was led by Zhou Yutang. It's really funny to see her embarrassed."
"Zhou Yutang is determined to improve himself and allows teachers to work for him. This is really a role model for our generation."
"According to my many years of experience, Fan Xiaopang and Zhou Yutang must be having an affair."
"Zhou Cao, I think so too. The way Fan Xiaopang looked at Zhou Yutang was so intense."
After this episode was aired, the director of "A Date with Lu Yu" even woke up laughing in the middle of the night.
The ratings of the program have more than doubled compared to the previous episodes.
It has to be said that Zhou Yutang is really a walking traffic code.
The audience also enjoyed watching it very much.
Mainly already familiar with Lu Yu's interview mode that often embarrasses the guests, Zhou Yutang suddenly appeared and took advantage of her, repeatedly embarrassing her.
This contrast is very novel and interesting.
Then there are Zhou Yutang's wise words, which triggered an extremely enthusiastic response. The trailer broadcast on the program also played a certain role in promoting the movie.
After all, this version of the trailer is really exciting.
The man couldn't help but take Zhou Yutang into his sight, imagining that he was so handsome that he was so handsome that he could descend from the gods and kill everyone.
When a woman sees the crazy secretion of estrogen, her aunt will be in advance, and she will not be able to close her legs.
certainly.
Program promotion is one aspect.
The most important thing is the scandal between Fan Xiaopang and Zhou Yutang.
At this stage, Fan Xiaopang is also the traffic queen.
She actually gave up millions of dollars in salary, wanted to star in Zhou Yutang's movie for free, and was even willing to pay for it. In the eyes of many viewers, Fan Xiaopang simply met true love.
What's more, she talked about her ideal type in the show.
Talented and motivated boys can accept boys under their age.
This is not a hint. Some viewers teased Fan Xiaopang to simply report Zhou Yutang's ID number.
Even a blind person can see that these two are having an affair.
Throughout the first ten days of April, the front pages of various news were dominated by the scandal between Zhou Yutang and Fan Xiaopang, as well as the love story between the two, "The Lonely Agent".
"No one knew where he came from until the girl was kidnapped!"
"A big co-production between the two places, with Zhou Yutang starring, Fan Binbin starring in a super large scale, international superstar Tony Jaa making a fierce attack, and movie kings Simon Yam and Tony Leung Ka Fai sharing the stage!"
"The raging anger is about to explode, but with the promise of warmth, there will be no turning back!"
"April 29, "The Lonely Agent", fight for love!"
"Exclusive reveal! Zhou Yutang and Fan Xiaopang fell in love because of the drama, and they staged a romance!"
The vigorous publicity attracted a lot of attention.
But in the eyes of some people, it is not so comfortable.
Lu Chuan, a well-known young director in China, is holding an emergency meeting with his team.
"Director Lu, the popularity of "The Lonely Agent" released at the same time is too high. Should we also think of a way?"
"It does not matter."
Lu Chuan pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said confidently: "Zhou Yutang, when he meets me, he always calls me "senior" or "senpai". I have seen his movies, and they are basically youth movies. They are just relying on face to make money and coax. Coax the little girl."
"He acted in a youth movie, and it was OK to make it emotional. But he wanted to make an action movie whimsically, but he didn't have the ability."
"Director Lu, Mr. Han from China Film Group is very optimistic about Zhou Yutang. This time he is the main producer of this film."
"Haha, the mountain eagle is so old and confused."
Speaking of Han Sanping, Lu Chuan's face darkened and he looked a little displeased: "There is a problem with even the most basic judgment ability."
"For my film "Nanjing! Nanjing!", even my father went to China Film Group Corporation many times. As a result, Mountain Eagle invested a small part without any mercy. If it hadn't been for the investment from Xingmei, it would have been difficult to make it. , I didn’t expect that he would turn around and support Zhou Yutang in making big productions.”
"Director Lu's ability is not comparable to that of Zhou Yutang."
"Then let's have a head-on confrontation and let Zhou Yutang know the strength that a real great director should have."
"What age has it been? "The Last Man" is still playing the same old action movie routines, with nothing new and no depth."
"I think Director Lu's film is very profound and will definitely win awards in the future."
Listening to the flattering words from the creators around him, Lu Chuan was very impressed and waved his hand: "He does publicity, so do we. We must first overwhelm the opponent with momentum."
The backhand is a media development conference.
"Dear friends from the media."
In front of a group of media reporters, Lu Chuan probably felt that he had become the center of the universe. He stood up, pointed at himself, and said with great confidence:
"I, Lu, have been working hard in the film industry for so many years. Since my debut, I have made two movies that have been widely praised.
I asked myself, every movie is a classic, but now this one "Nanjing!" Nanjing! ", is definitely the most classic movie in my life. I may never make such a good movie again! "
"Director Lu Chuan, you seem to have put in a lot of effort for this movie." the reporter asked.
"Yes, in order to make this film, I consulted a large amount of historical information, wrote a script of more than 100,000 words, and put in countless efforts to finally complete such a film with a rich sense of history. The connotation is absolutely It’s not comparable to any action movie about fighting and killing people.”
"An action movie about killing people, is it Zhou Yutang's "The Lonely Agent"?"
"Haha, everyone can imagine for themselves. I think everyone should have a strong balance in their hearts. My film "Nanjing! Nanjing!", as the title says, tells a heavy story during that period. I was very moved when I saw the title. , my father was also very moved after watching the finished film. We held our heads and cried in pain. This film is very historical and I believe the audience will be moved by me, and it was really not easy during the filming process."
At the press conference, Lu Chuan was so moved that he took off his glasses and wiped his tears.
Perfect!
Lu Chuan was very satisfied with his performance.
The crying scene is natural and definitely not inferior to professional actors.
This was a very successful conference.
After the press conference, after answering some questions from media reporters, Lu Chuan gathered with his creative team to continue to enhance everyone's confidence:
"You see, how many of the media coming today are optimistic about us?"
"So, Zhou Yutang should be the one who is afraid. Young people are too arrogant and don't know how high the sky is. If he adjusts the release schedule, there is still a way to survive. Otherwise, he will be stuck with us."
"The film industry is in a deep water, and he still can't grasp it. I have made box office estimates with experts. If the film schedule can keep up, "Nanjing! Nanjing!" will have a guaranteed box office of 100 million, and there is hope that it will hit a box office of more than 200 million, and it may even be possible. It will break the war genre box office record set by "Assembly"."
Lu Chuan made a very professional judgment, suddenly thought of something, and frowned: "By the way, does Gao Yuanyuan have a good relationship with this guy?"
The assistant in the team said: "Yes, Director Lu, there were rumors of a sister-brother relationship between the two last year. It was during that time that Gao Yuanyuan rejected you."
"I see, this woman is really short-sighted!"
The smile on Lu Chuan's face disappeared: "Haha, why don't you regret rejecting my role, sister-brother relationship? I will teach my junior how to make a real movie!"
"Xiao Wang, you can arrange the draft. In short, we want the audience to realize the connotation of our film, which is not comparable to any action film!"
"Okay, Director Lu!"
"Zhou Yutang is just sensationalizing. Every time he has a film or television project to be released, he tries to win the audience's attention by using petty tricks like hyping up scandals. When he met me this time, the secret will be exposed when the movie is released."
Lu Chuan pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, showed an extremely confident smile, and clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone, cheer up. This battle is of great importance. I hope everyone understands the truth!"
"An excellent film with both historical significance and connotation. Compared with commercial films that rely on marketing to win, I have the advantage!"
……………………
"I believe you already know the advantages of our company."
"But I know you too well. You are the big boss behind "The Voice" and the first person to sell variety show copyrights abroad."
Zhang Yibei's tone was filled with admiration and some surprise.
When I first met Zhou Yutang, I was amazed by his appearance.
But after getting in touch with him, I feel more and more that this young man's talent is a more precious treasure than his appearance.
"Zhou Yutang can obviously rely on his face to make a living, but he has to rely on his talent!"
Thinking of this popular saying nowadays, Zhang Yibei agreed from the bottom of her heart.
"Sister Bei."
Zhou Yutang looked at the woman with short fluffy hair and perm in front of him, leaned forward slightly, and said in a sincere tone:
"As you know, my Jiangdong company is going to develop, and the variety show department will be a very important department in the future. We are currently short of people."
I got Zhang Yibei's phone number from Teacher He and asked Li Shuang to dig it up, and soon there was news.
After Zhang Yibei resigned from Mango Channel, many domestic TV stations and film and television companies extended an olive branch to her.
Because of the popularity of "The Voice", a variety show craze has gradually begun, so senior variety show talents are particularly popular.
Recently, Blueberry Channel has been contacting her, planning to let Zhang Yibei handle Blueberry Channel's new variety show.
What are you waiting for?
Zhou Yutang does not have a very good relationship with Blueberry Taiwan.
Poaching the talents it pursues can be regarded as weakening the influence of Blueberry TV in disguise.
After returning to the capital, Zhou Yutang personally made an appointment with this very capable variety talent.
"I think my team must be truly capable to design and operate this kind of original program. It needs to have complete innovation and execution capabilities. Only in this way can the pattern of domestic variety shows be changed in the future."
"Sister Bei, I know your abilities very well. As long as you come here, we can work together to make the company bigger and stronger and create greater glory."
With the improvement of his status, Zhou Yutang became increasingly good at painting cakes.
This cake is delicious and sweet.
During the painting process, Zhou Yutang also vaguely mentioned Jiangdong Film and Television Culture and Entertainment Company's future plans for variety shows.
The layout is so big!
Zhang Yibei was secretly speechless!
Many people are not familiar with Zhang Yibei. In fact, she is a very famous variety show producer in China.
She created the popular entertainment talk show "The More Careful You Are, the Happier You Are". The yellow duck in it was Zhang Yibei, and Zhou Yutang was deeply impressed by it.
He also managed "Tian Tian Shang" and led a team of dozens of people. He once brought the ratings of "Tian Tian Shang" to a position where it could compete with "Happy Camp".
This is definitely not a simple matter.
The program "Tian Tian Shang Shang" is somewhat different from "Happy Camp".
In "Kuaiben", only celebrities who are popular enough are qualified to stand on this stage, but the "Daily Program" team will invite amateurs to participate.
Do some interesting programs such as food series and Journey to China.
What Zhou Yutang values is Zhang Yibei's ability to execute variety shows.
After an in-depth exchange, Zhang Yibei finally made a decision. She stood up and shook hands with Zhou Yutang solemnly: "Please give me more advice from Mr. Zhou in the future."
"I don't dare to give you advice. Let's communicate with each other. Sister Bei, when is it convenient for you to come over and do some work?"
"I can come over anytime."
Zhang Yibei is full of high morale and wants to immediately devote herself to fighting for the grand variety show blueprint drawn by Zhou Yutang.
Her appearance is not outstanding, and her figure is somewhat plump, but her temperament is very capable and sharp, and she has the unique temperament of a strong woman.
Look, this is a motivated career woman.
Dedicated enough!
It would be great if every employee was as capable as Zhang Yibei and worked so hard.
Zhou Yutang nodded with satisfaction and assigned work tasks: "Sister Bei can come over tomorrow to familiarize yourself with the company's situation. Then I will ask Li Shuang to take you. The main task in the near future is to complete the docking with Mingjie Company, and then Mango TV There is a new music variety show coming soon."
The matter has been settled, the contract has been signed, and Zhou Yutang will have one more variety star under his belt in the next five years.
Zhang Yibei had a clear idea and her steps were much lighter. As soon as she walked to the parking lot, she received a call from the senior management of Blueberry Station:
"Ms. Zhang, how are you thinking? If you come here to work, the position of deputy director of the variety show department will be vacant. The minister's contract expires next year. If you can make achievements during this period, then the position will be yours next year."
"Thank you for your kindness. I have found a job."
Zhang Yibei refused without any hesitation: "Don't call me anymore, I'm afraid my current boss will misunderstand me."
"What, you found a job!?" The senior executive of Blueberry TV said in a shocked voice.
"Yes, I am now the director of the variety show department of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture and Entertainment Co., Ltd."
Zhang Yibei hung up the phone with the senior management of Blueberry Channel, feeling relaxed and happy.
If I can't beat Zhou Yutang, then I will join him.
……………………
After running several important variety shows, Zhou Yutang finally got a short break.
Resting at Dameiyuan’s house.
Da Meiyuan, who was standing in front of the mirror and comparing skirts, said with surprise in her tone: "Yu Tang, do you think I would look better wearing a shirt with a black pleated skirt, or would it be more appropriate to wear a black striped suit with a short skirt?"
Gao Yuanyuan fondly stroked the exquisite earrings hanging on her earlobes.
Zhou Yutang crossed his legs and flipped through the newspaper without even raising his head. He opened his mouth and said, "The pleated skirt is more casual and suitable for daily life. The black striped suit skirt is a little more formal and will be more suitable for attending some events."
"Of course, Sister Yuanyuan, you are so beautiful. No matter what you wear with these earrings, you will look good. But personally, I still prefer a suit and a striped skirt, which feels more matching."
When a woman asks you what you look good on, never say that everything looks good on you.
According to the way women think.
She will feel that you are not serious at all and are just perfunctory.
The correct answer is to analyze the situation on a case-by-case basis, not to ask you to tell the truth, but to praise its beauty from a different perspective.
really.
Da Meiyuan was elated when she heard this, with her signature sweet smile on her face. She took the initiative to give Zhou Yutang a loving hug and kiss.
Knowing that Zhou Yutang has been very busy recently, he didn't expect that he didn't forget to give her a gift despite his busy schedule.
Da Meiyuan was very moved and Zhou Yutang enjoyed it very much.
I experienced postures that Da Meiyuan is usually unwilling to try.
afterwards.
Da Meiyuan was lying on the sofa, and Zhou Yutang was also lying on the sofa, with his head resting on Gao Yuanyuan's thigh.
Gao Yuanyuan's face was radiant, as if she had remembered something: "By the way, Yu Tang, your movie seems to be about to rival Lu Chuan's."
"If we meet you, we'll meet you. I'm not afraid of Riku Taro."
Zhou Yutang looked indifferent.
The relationship between him and Lu Chuan had long been established.
Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Gao Yuanyuan.
Last year Lu Chuan's movie "Nanjing!" Nanjing! "Casting, he publicly stated that he wanted to hire the popular Gao Yuanyuan to play the heroine.
Da Meiyuan took the book and came over to Zhou Yutang to take a look. Zhou Yutang felt that the problem was huge and did not suggest that Da Meiyuan take it up.
Gao Yuanyuan had no doubts about Zhou Yutang's ability. At that time, she just finished filming "Let's Get Married" and wanted to take her parents on a trip, so she decided to take the opportunity.
Later he found Huo Siyan.
Now, two people's movies collide.
Are direct competitors.
Da Meiyuan also read what Lu Chuan said in the media report, and was very dissatisfied: "It's too much. Just bragging about yourself, and stepping on you, bringing me up and ridiculing me. This person is just like you." You are from Jiangsu Province, why are you so small-minded?"
Recently, a media interview mentioned that Lu Chuan asked Gao Yuanyuan to star. Lu Chuan immediately changed his face and directly said that someone was hyping up. Da Meiyuan's acting skills were not enough to play the heroine of his heavy-themed movie. In comparison, Huo Siyan was more The right person.
Zhou Yutang shook his head: "Don't say that he is from Jiangsu Province."
Who is Lu Chuan?
Lu Chuan, whose courtesy name was Tailang, was the disgrace of Jiangsu Province.
This person is a very famous young director in China.
Like Zhou Yutang, Lu Chuan also started out as a screenwriter, and his first film as a director was "Looking for the Gun".
It was the drama where Jiang Wen scolded him for crying.
The next "Kekexili" is his peak work.
This work won the Golden Horse Award for Best Film, and the Tokyo Film Festival Jury Prize included the Golden Rooster Award for Best Film.
It can be said that he is a model who reaches his peak right after his debut. If placed in Huayu novels, he is almost the template for the protagonist.
Brush the prizes and then come back to show off.
However, it was later revealed that the film had plagiarized the work "Tibetan Antelope and Me - The Glacier Flows Here".
The original author took Lu Chuan to court, but did not file a financial claim and only asked the court to confirm that the copyright infringement was established.
Lu Chuan refused to admit it and even said that Liu Yujun was doing hype.
I'm a documentary maker, so I'm just trying to hype you up.
Relying on the trick of dragging words, the court finally ruled that "Kekexili" constituted infringement and paid 100,000 yuan in compensation, and the matter was settled.
No matter what.
Two consecutive works made Lu Chuan famous. Domestic and foreign media praised him as one of the 35-year-old directors in China who are most promising to become a master.
Director Lu seems to feel that it is time for him to become a true master.
So he worked hard and started making "Nanjing!" Nanjing! "this project.
Spielberg relied on "Schindler's List" to pass the Oscar, and Lu Chuan felt that he could do it too.
What happened in Nanjing is an eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese people.
As long as the film is done well, it is easy to gain both fame and fortune.
Next comes the point.
By reading a large number of Japanese army diaries, Lu Chuan discovered that most Japanese soldiers were not the beasts they imagined. Most of the neon people who participated in the war wrote about very small things in their diaries, such as robbing a pig. Digging some yams to prepare a meal.
Lu Chuan felt that the scary thing about the Nanjing incident was not that a group of wild beasts did what wild beasts should do, but that a group of normal people did what wild beasts do.
Is this something humans do?
Therefore, Zhou Yutang had already expelled Lu Chuan from Jiangsu Province.
"It's okay to lie to others, but don't lie to yourself."
Zhou Yutang sneered at the future master.
Lu Chuan came from an orthodox academic school and was very ambitious. He also wanted to play the trick of seeing greatness from the ordinary.
But his ability is not enough to support his ambition.
The subject matter of Nanjing was too heavy for him to grasp.
Originally, everyone did not offend the river.
If you insist on playing tricks, then it's not rude to come back but not reciprocate.
Zhou Yutang caressed Da Meiyuan's soft hair and murmured: "Do you want to play something big this time?"
"playing what?"
Gao Yuanyuan leaned in Zhou Yutang's arms and blinked her big bright eyes, with a charming blush on her pretty face afterwards.
"Lu Chuan's movie will be released on April 22. My movie was originally expected to be released at the end of April to seamlessly coincide with the May Day holiday. Now I am planning to premiere a few days in advance to get rid of this one with the surname Lu."
Action is worse than a heartbeat, so Zhou Yutang did what he thought of and called Li Xiaoping directly over there at Guangguang.
"Sister Ping, I want to schedule the release."
"Yu Tang, are you sure? If you run into "Nanjing! Nanjing!" directly, the box office may be diverted." Li Xiaoping was shocked.
Lu Chuan's reputation as the future master is still very deceiving, and Li Xiaoping is also a little worried.
"Touch it. How would you know if you don't touch it?"
"Yu Tang, do you want to be so awesome?"
"That's what I want to do."
