Chapter 175 The next stop is the Queen, Young Master and Yan [Additional update for the book friend
"You're in the Magic City, right?"
"Yes, the house is rented by the program team."
"Bring her to me."
Zhou Yutang said with great interest.
Zhang Yibei kindly reminded: "Boss, Deng Shiying is underage. If you want to date her, it's best to ask for the consent of her guardian."
"Is the guardian here?"
"Her mother came to the show with her."
"Then let her mother come over, and I will negotiate her contract in person."
"Okay, boss, I'll make arrangements."
Because the recording of "The Voice" program takes a long time.
Therefore, the company has specially prepared accommodation for the contestants who come from all over the country to participate in the "The Voice" program.
certainly.
Some players are rich enough to find their own accommodation.
But most players still choose to live in the apartments prepared by Mingjie Company.
The cost of living in Magic City is not cheap. There is free accommodation in a pretty good environment and it is also close to the shooting location. The company can easily take care of you if you need anything, which saves you a lot of expenses and unnecessary troubles.
This is the case for Deng Shiying and her daughter.
Although Deng's mother is from Shanghai and Deng Shiying was also born in Shanghai, the family had already moved to Xiangjiang and arranged to live in an apartment next to the company.
After receiving the notice from the company, Deng's mother took Deng Shiying into the company car together, not forgetting to tell her: "Shiying, when you see the boss later, be polite and don't talk nonsense, you know?"
"Yeah, got it, mom."
Arriving at the company soon, Deng Shiying looked curiously at the impressive Mingjie Company. Mother and daughter walked into the conference room under the guidance of the staff.
"Hello, Mother Deng, right? I'm Zhou Yutang."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Mother Deng looked at the young man who took the initiative to stand up and stretched out his hand towards her. She was slightly startled before reacting.
Her daughter was even more shocked than she was.
"Zhou Zhou Yutang!"
Deng Shiying's eyes widened in shock and her mouth opened wide, like a cute goldfish.
Mother Deng tugged on Deng Shiying's clothes and helped explain: "Um, Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, my daughter is your fan."
Deng Shiying smiled cheerfully and said: "I love your "Lonely Agent" the most. You went to my teacher's concert yesterday, and my mother and I were at the concert!"
"You went to the scene too?"
"Hmm, I pestered my mother for a long time before she agreed to take me to the clinic."
Deng Shiying's clothes were pulled by Deng's mother again, and her excitement gradually calmed down. She realized that she was not polite just now, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I was too happy just now."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled gently: "I invited Mother Deng here today because I actually want to talk about Shiying's future development."
"Does Mr. Zhou think highly of Shiying?"
"Of course, after I attended the concert yesterday, I heard from the company that there is a very talented newcomer on the show, and I came here to have a look before returning to the capital."
"Shiying really liked music since she was very young."
Mother Deng was also very happy and proudly explained to Zhou Yutang the glorious record of her daughter’s talent.
She was born into a musical family, and her daughter has shown musical talent beyond her peers since she was a child. Many people have praised Deng Shiying.
But now it has been recognized by Zhou Yutang.
This is Zhou Yutang!
Not only is he one of the great musical talents of the two weeks together with Jay Chou.
He is also a big boss who has a net worth of hundreds of millions at a young age and can chat and laugh with Yang Shoucheng and Zou Wenhuai.
Zhou Yutang asked Zhang Yibei to accompany Deng's mother with the company's legal affairs to understand the contract details.
I met a series of requests from my little fan girl Deng Liying for autographs and photos.
"I got a photo with Zhou Yutang, hahaha!"
Looking at the group photo on her phone, Deng Shiying danced with joy and quickly shared the photo with her bestie, not forgetting to flatter her: "Mr. Zhou, you sang with my teacher last night. You were so handsome."
"Just average, third in the world."
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, you are not humble at all, but Mr. Chen Yixun said that he has thirty-two concerts to hold and plans to invite you as a guest. Is it true?"
Deng Shiying opened her distinctive big eyes curiously.
"Do you still know the instant noodle head?"
"ah?"
Deng Ziqi was slightly stunned, as if she didn't understand who Zhou Yutang was talking about.
"I'm talking about Chen Yixun."
"Um."
Deng Ziqi looked enlightened and nodded: "At that time, I participated in the school singing competition and won the championship. Then I got the opportunity to shoot commercials with senior Eason. When I came to participate in "The Voice", he also took good care of me."
She probably also thought that Zhou Yutang's name for Chen Yixun was very interesting. She obviously wanted to laugh, but she felt it was inappropriate.
The corners of his mouth curled up secretly, but they smoothed out quickly.
"Laugh if you want."
Zhou Yutang chatted with her for a while with great interest, feeling that she was a very cheerful and lively girl.
"I have read your information. Hummingbird Music once wanted to sign you, but you refused."
"Actually, I refused."
Mother Deng came back after reading the contract and said: "The judge at the time, Mr. Zhang, was also very sincere and came to visit her home specially. However, Shiying was too young at the time. After discussing it with her father, I made an agreement with them. Let Shiying continue to study first and wait until she becomes an adult before making a decision."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, turned around and asked, "What do you think of Mother Deng? You can talk to Shiying. If you have anything you don't understand, ask about legal affairs and she will answer it for you."
He asked the company to prepare an S-level rookie contract for Deng Shiying.
This is the highest-level signing contract a newcomer can get.
Mingjie Company will use resources to help Deng Shiying make her debut, and Zhou Yutang will personally help her create her debut song. However, the contract term is a bit long, and it will take eight years.
This is also the normal operation of entertainment companies.
Some companies are even more exaggerated, signing contracts with newcomers for 20 to 30 years in one go, and letting them work until retirement.
"I am very satisfied."
The mother and daughter had a brief exchange and quickly reached an agreement. A smile broke out on Deng's mother's face: "Mr. Zhou, I want to talk to Shiying's father on the phone. If there is no problem, we will sign the contract."
"Boss, do you really want to help me write songs?"
Deng Shiying learned that Zhou Yutang would help her create her debut song, and little stars had already appeared in her goldfish eyes.
Several songs written by Zhou Yutang.
The worst record is Huang Xiaoming.
But that song "Anything Goes" also hit the major Chinese song charts such as the Beijing Music Taichung Song Chart, the Xiangjiang New Town Mandarin Chart, the Sprite Chart, etc. At that time, Huang Xiaoming became a lot of "film and television music double-dwelling kings" of the press release.
Jing Tian's debut song "Hello Tomorrow" is still very popular to this day.
Not to mention his own songs, which are indistinguishable from Jay Chou on the charts.
"Of course, what I said always stands true. The company will definitely focus on training you to become the next generation of queens."
"."
Deng Shiying was still young. After eating Zhou Yutang's cake, she felt so excited that she was about to lose oxygen. She murmured: "The Queen of Heaven."
Zhou Yutang took action personally without any surprises.
Deng Shiying's contract was quickly negotiated.
After Deng's father consulted some legal issues in detail, he learned that Mingjie Company could even use connections to get his daughter to study in the Vocal Music Department of the Magic Conservatory of Music, and he immediately had no doubts anymore.
However, her debut song will have to wait until she finishes participating in the "The Voice" program.
At that time, the company will make a complete set of plans.
After arranging things here, Zhou Yutang flew directly back to the capital.
As soon as he arrived at the company, his cell phone rang. Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned when he saw that it was a Xiangjiang number.
After picking up the phone, I realized it was Zhou Runfa calling.
Fa Ge is very picky when it comes to acting now.
The last movie he starred in was "The Golden Armor", which was a movie about the national teacher.
Fa Ge didn't like ordinary books at all, but this time he was encouraged by Zhou Yutang.
After talking for more than half an hour, it could be heard that he seemed very interested. Zhou Yutang knew that the matter was basically settled.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yutang still called Jiang Wen: "Brother Wen, Brother Fa has received a message back. If there is a schedule, you can take it."
"What!?"
Jiang Wen was overjoyed: "I just have good news to tell you. Ge You is ready. Once the investment is in place, we can start working directly. This time, my brother will stand and make money!"
Jiang Wen, who had just experienced several failures, was now full of fighting spirit again, and his excitement could be heard through the phone.
"By the way, Yu Tang, do you want to play a role? Hu Wan leaves it to you."
"I'll forget it."
"How can that be forgotten? You are still an investor, and don't the news now say that as long as you are here, the box office will increase by tens of millions?"
"Brother Wen, my schedule has been scheduled until next year. Well, when the filming starts, I will go to the set to have a look."
After ending the call with Jiang Wen, Zhou Yutang shook his head slightly and found it funny.
Jiang Wen was quite interesting that she actually had an idea for him.
Hu Wan is Huang Silang's confidant in "Let the Bullets Fly". He is secretly in charge of the affairs of Echeng, bullies the people, confuses right and wrong, is a ruthless and arrogant bitch.
Zhou Yutang still wants to challenge the role of a villain, but he really has a lot on his hands.
We are currently working on the post-production of "Star You", and then we have to negotiate with the TV station. Mr. Han is still waiting for the script of "Big Shot", which is Jiangdong Entertainment's key film project in the second half of the year.
As for the project "Let the Bullets Fly", Zhou Yutang plans to leave it to Jiang Wen to run it. Then he can go to the crew and learn some of Jiang Wen's unique skills.
Zhou Yutang is also looking forward to it.
Jiang Wen's depressed mood, which he had been holding back for several years, would be what would happen if it broke out.
throughout August.
China's film industry is becoming more and more prosperous.
"Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" soared at the box office, entering the 100 million yuan club in the domestic film market, and the 3D animated film "Ice Age 3" finally earned 150 million yuan at the box office.
Uncle Ge didn't make comedy, so he went to make the mid-life crisis movie "Breathless". It was released for three weeks and earned more than 40 million at the box office. This movie was only handled by Uncle Ge alone, so it was not a big deal. It is estimated that the cost of the scene will not exceed 10 million, and Enlight Media, as the publisher, can be considered a small profit.
At the same time, the Hong Kong films "Eavesdropping" and "The Secret Agent" achieved good box office results. Many media in Hong Kong have begun to threaten to make Hong Kong movies great again in the post-golden era of YY Hong Kong movies.
In fact, the superior status of Hong Kong films has gradually changed since last year.
Xiaogang Pao's "Assembly Number" has an all-mainland team, but Chen Kexing's "Signature" cannot hold its head up.
Later, "Painted Skin", which mainly used mainland actors as its cast, also achieved excellent results. Donnie Yen's role was still below that of Chen Kun. At that time, Wu Yusen was very dissatisfied. The meaning of his words in the interview was also very obvious:
Xiangjiang's great directors and Xiangjiang actors should occupy an absolute position.
It's like living in a dream.
"Those Years", directed and starred by Zhou Yutang, caused a youth storm that swept across Hong Kong and Benzhou, creating a miracle of a total box office of 268 million in the three places across the Taiwan Strait. The main actors are all from mainland China.
In this year's co-production "The Lonely Agent", Zhou Yutang is definitely the male lead, Fan Xiaopang is the nominal heroine, and sister Zifeng also has a lot of scenes. The other supporting roles in the movie are all to set off his green leaves.
The emergence of Zhou Yutang was like a meteorite falling into the peaceful film world, setting off huge waves.
People in the mainland film and television industry are not fools either.
Since mainland actors with lower pay and good acting skills can afford the box office, why spend more money to support Hong Kong Man?
Since then.
The aura of superiority surrounding the director and actors of Xiangjiang will gradually dim without any suspense.
Yu Feihong's "Love Is Afterlife" was also released in early August, and Zhou Yutang helped with a lot of publicity work.
But the overall content is still a little too literary after all. A small number of viewers like it very much, but many viewers can't accept it.
With an investment of nearly 40 million, the final box office is estimated to be around 45 million.
According to the "one-three rule" between movie box office and investment cost, the final box office must be more than three times the investment to achieve profit for the movie.
"Love Is After Life" obviously does not meet this condition. However, compared to the domestic science fiction film "Robot" which was widely praised at the same time, "Love Is After Life" has a great reputation and has been praised by film critics. There is also another film "Love Is After Life" at the same time. "Bitter Bamboo Forest" is directed by director Yang Shupeng and stars Hu Jun and Jiang Wu. The final box office is not expected to exceed 10 million.
for this result.
Yu Feihong was both relieved and disappointed.
Zhou Yutang returned to the capital and comforted Sister Yu, "Sister Feihong, we have to look forward. There will be a "Sword Rain" soon."
"Well, after struggling for so long, I finally got my wish. When will "Sword Rain" be launched?"
"The filming will start in October. Sister Feihong, please prepare in advance. There will be a lot of scenes."
"It's award season soon. You have a lot of hope this year."
"Haha, let's wait and see."
After adjusting sister Yu Feihong's mood, she took the time to exchange art with Da Meiyuan, who had finished filming the crew of "Ocean Paradise".
I have to chat with Xiao Liu every day.
Liu Yifei has been taking classes with Zhang Songwen recently and went to the theater to study. Zhou Yutang communicated with teacher Wu Gang and learned that she has made a lot of progress.
Recently, Aunt Liu has been very strict about going home at night, and has basically let Liu Yifei go. She has basically left all work matters to the management team.
Zhou Yutang also called Qian Bao slightly more often than before.
certainly.
These are just adjustments in life.
Most of Zhou Yutang's energy is still focused on his own career. Jiangdong Entertainment has risen strongly, and as the helmsman, he must control the direction.
For time management masters, time always flies by.
Soon it’s time for the Huabiao Awards at the end of August.
The Huabiao Award is a government award.
The full name is China Radio, Film and Television Awards and Huabiao Awards. It is a film award sponsored by the China National Film Administration. It is also known as the three mainland film awards together with Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers.
This year is the 60th anniversary of the motherland.
The organizers also intended to make a big event, posting hero posts widely and inviting hundreds of celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait to attend.
With Zhou Yutang's current celebrity status, he was naturally invited, but he also knew that participating in such activities was not to win prizes, but mainly due to force majeure factors.
night.
Beijing Exhibition Hall.
Starry.
Looking at the celebrities coming tonight, the media reporters and the audience outside are like celebrating the New Year.
Jackie Chan, Zhou Yunfa, Wang Jiawei, Andy Lau, Zhou Xingchi, Aaron Kwok, Li Ming, Wu Yusen and others from the Hong Kong side were all present.
Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, Li Lianjie, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Yutang, Deng Chao, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Xu Jinglei and others from the mainland were all present.
Celebrities and artists who have not been officially invited should carefully consider whether it is their own problem.
Has your status improved over the years?
Have you seriously pursued progress?
Zhou Yutang sat with Mr. Zhou, and next to him was Fan Xiaopang.
The coffee position can also be seen from the location arrangement.
Although Zhou Yutang debuted less than three years ago and his number of works is not as good as those of the first-line stars, his status is very high.
Feeling that Mr. Zhou's eyes were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Yutang took the initiative to speak: "Sister Xun, what do you want to see me for?"
"It's really something."
Zhou Xun blinked and said with a playful smile: "When this is over, let's find a place to chat slowly."
Zhou Yutang choked up and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xun, does Brother Daqi know about your date with me tonight?"
Scum returns to scum.
He still has a bottom line as a human being.
I rarely have contact with married women in private.
Brother Daqi, as Zhou Yutang calls him, whose full name is Li Daqi, is a well-known stylist in the circle. After being introduced by Liu Ruoying, he met Zhou Xun. The two developed a spark of love and soon came together.
Hearing this name, Young Master Zhou stiffened. He glanced at Zhou Yutang lightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "He and I have broken up. Don't worry, I'm in a period of emotional healing now and I'm immune to all handsome guys."
The emotional healing period of God stepping on the horse!
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched, and he casually glanced at Mr. Zhou's perfect figure, and chose to hurt each other: "What a coincidence, I am also immune to airport beauties."
Some actresses in the industry have a very strange ascetic temperament.
Like Zhou Xun and Sun Li, you can't say that they are not beautiful, but it is easy for men to feel that they are not sexually interesting.
"Are you praising me or scolding me?"
Mr. Zhou was not angry, but was happy. He stretched out his hand and gave him a gentle beating.
The little moves of the two people were caught by the camera, and Fan Xiaopang next to him also cast a surprised look, as if he was wondering when the two people got together.
Only then did Zhou Yutang and Zhou Xun restrain themselves a lot.
In fact, as far as he knows.
The relationship between Zhou Xun and Li Daqi was very sweet for a time. They expressed their affection in public in various ways, such as "Thank you to my lover Li Daqi for tolerating my bad temper" and "I would not marry anyone other than Li Daqi." The public once thought that Mr. Zhou had really found someone. I fell in love with my true love, but I didn’t expect that it would end in a breakup.
This sister is a real expert in love. No wonder some people in the circle gave her the nicknames "Xi Miao Miao" and "Dong Gongzi".
The Huabiao Award is of a theme nature.
Moreover, it has been changed to a biennial event since 2005. This year's "Assembly" and "Yuan Longping" were both nominated for Best Feature Film in 2007. Zhou Yutang's "Lonely Agent" was nominated tonight .
It didn't take long.
The curtain on the stage slowly opened.
The four hosts Jackie Chan, Jingwei, Pu Cunxi and Xu Ruoxuan walked to the stage with kind smiles.
Jingwei spoke with emotion: "Open the door to the screen hall of honor of the Republic and look back at the glory and dreams of the glorious dynasty over the past 60 years."
Pu Cunxin added: "Enter the gate of the sacred screen hall of the Republic and witness the light and shadow footprints of China in its prosperous age."
"Dedicate yourself to the motherland with passion."
"Write movies with sincerity."
Jackie Chan and Hsu Ruoxuan also spoke one after another.
Zhou Yutang smiled inwardly.
The organizer probably wanted to promote the unity of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places as one family, so they hired Jackie Chan and Hsu Ruoxuan to co-host.
Brother Jackie Chan may have some problems in his personal life, but he has never been ambiguous about his righteousness.
Vivian Hsu is a woman who is emotionally close to Neon. I really don’t understand why she was invited to the stage.
What follows is a song and dance performance.
Wu Peici, Mo Wenwei, and Zhao Yanzi appeared in the lottery.
The Outstanding Children's Film Award was won by "Walking to School", "Mamaiti 2008", and "The New Story of Boy Jia Li".
then.
The ones responsible for presenting the Outstanding Children's Actress Award are Huang Bo, Ma Yili, Dong Jie and Xiao Taohong.
Huang Bo had just finished filming "No Man's Land" at this time. He was tanned and still had a crew cut. He was the first to speak: "Our combination is a bit special."
Xiao Taohong smiled and answered: "My child is eight months old. Eleven years ago, I won the first award in my film career on the same stage."
Dong Jie said: "My baby is six months old. When I made my first movie, I had a deep connection with the Huabiao Award."
Ma Yili said: "My baby is almost one year old. I feel very honored to be able to witness the glory of our new dynasty since its establishment at this time."
Huang Bo grinned and said: "My baby, uh, I don't know when it will come out! The three people around me today are not only excellent actresses, they have just become mothers. This shows that the hope of our Chinese film will be Continue to pass it on to the next generation.”
No wonder many people say that Huang Bo has a high emotional intelligence.
He seems to have a smile on his body, and he can adjust the atmosphere of the scene as soon as he appears.
Zhou Yutang was amused.
Skip the lengthy parts.
It was the turn of the old artist Yu Yang to take the stage to give a speech. He recalled the hardships and sweet memories, causing the audience to stand up and applaud thunderously. Zhou Yutang also applauded.
Jiangdong Entertainment has gained something tonight.
There are six nominations for the Outstanding Co-Production Film Award: "Painted Skin", "Red Cliff", "If You Are the One", "Alone", "Ip Man", and "Yangtze River No. 7".
As a result, three awards were awarded: "The Lonely Agent", "Painted Skin", and "If You Are the One".
Half chance of winning.
Wu Yusen didn't get the award and sat there in embarrassment.
However, he was able to gain something. Zhang Yimou personally presented him with the Outstanding Foreign Director Award.
Fan Xiaopang went on stage with Zhou Xun, together with an award guest Chen Kun, and presented the Outstanding Foreign Actor Award to Donnie Yen.
Uncle Ge, Zhou Xingchi and Zhou Yunfa, these three top superstars in the Chinese film industry, presented Shu Qi with the Outstanding Foreign Actress Award.
"Yu Tang, do you have a grudge against Wu Baige?"
Listening to Mr. Zhou coming over and asking in a low voice, Zhou Yutang was speechless: "Who said that? We don't know each other, okay?"
Mr. Zhou vowed: "Stop pretending. When the awards were given just now, "Red Cliff" didn't win the award. I even saw you smiling."
Impressed.
Zhou Yutang just pursed the corners of his mouth slightly and quickly regained his composure, which was all caught by Young Master Zhou.
Is this the observation power of a top actor?
The awarding of awards has nothing to do with him. Zhou Yutang chatted with Mr. Zhou for a few words and then replied to Fan Xiaopang, which was not boring at all.
After sitting for more than two hours, I finally waited for the last few awards.
Excellent directors directly came up with double-yolked eggs, such as Chen Poet's "Mei Lanfang" and Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number".
Xiaogangpao began to use Feng Xiaogang's humor: "First of all, I have to thank the double yolk egg, otherwise Mr. Kai is here. The movies I make often win awards, but I myself, let alone win awards, rarely even receive nominations. This It’s the 60th anniversary of the National Day. It’s a good time to be lucky.”
As a result, the host could only maintain a calm yet embarrassed smile.
What follows is even more outrageous.
A series of double yolk eggs.
The Outstanding Actor Award went to Zhang Hanyu from "Assembly" and Guo Jinglin from "Yuan Longping".
The Outstanding Actress Award was given to Zhang Ziyi of "Mei Lanfang" and Fan Zhibo of "The Unexpected".
Do you think this is the end?
The Outstanding Feature Film Award is still up for grabs, and ten films have been lined up to win.
There are all kinds of big giveaways, and you will get something if you come to the main one.
It's finally over.
Zhou Yutang followed Zhou Xun to a quiet music bar.
Thinking of Fan Xiaopang's "I see, you like this taste" look in his eyes before the show ended, Zhou Yutang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It’s unfair, Teacher Fan, I want to take classes and make progress!
The main reason was that Mr. Zhou said he had something to discuss.
Only when I came to the bar did I know why Mr. Zhou came to find me.
It's for Chen Kun.
After hearing this, Zhou Yutang couldn't help but ask: "Sister Xun, I would like to ask, who are you and Brother Kun?"
"Why are you so nosy?"
Zhou Xun rolled his eyes rudely and said in a unique cigarette voice: "We are really good friends. This time he has something to do today and he likes this drama very much. I heard that you are an investor, so I Let me ask for him, are you sure it’s Deng Chao?”
"The male lead of "Sword Rain" has been decided on Deng Chao."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a smile: "Besides, the male lead in my drama must not be too handsome. Brother Kun is really too handsome."
Factory flowers.
He is indeed handsome and somewhat unreasonable.
"That's such a shame. Want one?"
Without even saying a word after sitting down, Zhou Xun took out a cigarette from his Xiaokun bag, held it between his middle and index fingers, and lit it with a click, very skillfully.
"One for you."
As she spoke, she already handed over a cigarette in her hand. Zhou Yutang also lowered his head slightly and used her fire to light the cigarette, his posture casual and free.
Anyway, we have to inhale Mr. Zhou's second-hand smoke while sitting, so it's better for everyone to hurt each other together.
"Sister Xun, Brother Kun has such a high status, how can he not perform in any role?"
"He is very picky about scripts when filming. If the script is not to his liking, he will not accept it no matter how high the salary is."
"Then I have another play here, which will definitely be interesting."
Zhou Yutang's eyes penetrated the vast smoke in front of his eyes, and his heart suddenly moved slightly.
