Chapter 201: Climb to the summit in one night, the fire is extremely hot
There is such a classic scene in the movie "Underworld".
After Big D and Le Shao reached a cooperation, they successfully entered Tsim Sha Tsui. The two of them stood on the roof of a high-rise building, looking at the bustling night view of Hong Kong, and seemed to hear the sound of money flowing.
Dance without emotion.
Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming were also brought together because of their interests.
But the friendship between the two is much deeper than that of the fishing brothers Big D and A Le.
Because each other's interests are consistent, there can be no conflict.
Zhou Yutang aspires to develop in the entertainment industry, and Tian Ming is the third generation who wants to prove his abilities to the family. Everyone has something that each other needs.
It is precisely because we know this that we can cooperate so well.
The export of the variety show copyright of The Voice to Europe has completely established Mingjie Company's position as the leading domestic variety show.
The pound and the euro are waving to the two of them, can the dollar bill be far behind?
Tian Ming opened a bottle of champagne directly in the office.
Zhou Yutang swayed his wine glass and drank with him: "Brother Ming, communicate with the "If You Are the One" program team to increase the intensity of inspection and review. The values leading the program must be positive."
"For example, there are some bad male and female guests who come to the show purely with the idea of becoming famous, and they also serve as a platform for advertising their own businesses. Try not to include these types of people."
"I plan to run this show for two or three more seasons and directly buy it out from Jiangsu TV Station."
Mano's sentence about crying while sitting in a BMW is simply the perfect embodiment of true money worship. After it was broadcast, it aroused great public opinion in the society and brought a lot of traffic to the program team. However, Jiangsu TV Station It was also clicked above.
Many things happened for others to watch. Zhou Yutang had a close personal relationship with Deputy Director Zhou of Suzhou TV Station, but he knew the inside story.
"Buyout?"
Tian Ming looked a little stunned: "This show is quite profitable. Vivo spent 100 million in naming fees in the first season. According to the ratings, the company's dividends will be at least tens of millions, and it will be sold after only two or three seasons." Isn’t it a pity?”
“It’s a pity that there will definitely be no shortage of similar competing products following suit.”
Zhou Yutang shook his wine glass: "And the one-time buyout fee can be at least nine figures. The projects the company does must be focused."
"In this way, if "The Voice" and the following "Running Man" can be regarded as S+ level variety shows, then "If You Are the One" will only be an A at its peak. If we stabilize key projects, we can maintain the company's fundamentals."
"The most important thing is that the world is undergoing earth-shaking changes. Think about it, a few years ago there were only Nokia buttons. Now Apple phones are out, and the network will develop faster and faster. This clumsy blind date model will no longer exist. It looks novel, but it will definitely be gradually eliminated. In the future, maybe everyone can choose the person they like through the mobile phone application.”
"Can you still play like this?" Tian Ming was dumbfounded.
"I'm just making an analogy."
"Okay, I'll take care of it then."
Tian Ming nodded thoughtfully, and just as he was about to say something, Zhou Yutang received a call, and then a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Shi Shi is here?"
"Um."
"Xiao Xu, bring Liu Shishi up."
After giving simple instructions, the secretary outside quickly brought Liu Shishi up, who was wearing a hat and sunglasses.
Click.
Close the office door.
well!
Tian Ming looked at the two people who were kissing each other affectionately, and his expression twitched slightly: "I said, can you two take my feelings into consideration for a little bit?"
"Brother Ming."
Liu Shishi suddenly came to his senses, a touch of rouge flashed on his face, he hugged Zhou Yutang's arm like a little daughter-in-law, and cried out in embarrassment.
Tian Mingzhi shook his head: "Xiaojie is on the set of "Snow Leopard". When will the filming be completed there?"
"According to the current progress, it will probably be until May."
"It took so long to shoot?"
"Then I ask the producer to urge Director Jiang to speed up the progress?"
"That's not necessary. In Anti-Japanese War dramas, only slow work can produce fine work and create classics."
Tian Ming waved his hands repeatedly, with a relieved smile on his face.
"Why do I feel a little pity for you?"
"Impossible. I respect your sister-in-law's work and will arrange to visit her class when the time comes."
Tian Ming denied it flatly: "Also, Deng Ziqi's album will be released tonight, which coincides with the upcoming variety show "The Masked Singer"."
"The Little Goldfish album is finally going to be released?"
Liu Shishi's eyes were filled with surprise: "I am her fan."
"Then Deng Ziqi's first signed album can be arranged for you."
"By the way, Brother Ming, I brought you some specialties. It's next to your desk."
After chatting with Tian Ming in the company for more than half an hour, Zhou Yutang was about to get up and leave with Liu Shishi when he suddenly remembered something.
"what?"
"You'll know just by looking at it."
"Okay. This color is good."
Tian Ming leaned out and opened the packaging bag, his eyes were shining: "Well, Yu Tang, I happen to have a friend who needs to recuperate recently."
"Yu Tang, what specialties did you bring to Tian Ming?"
As soon as he got in the car, Liu Shishi asked slightly curiously.
"The authentic black wolfberry from Northern Xinjiang is very effective in nourishing the kidneys and yang. Brother Ming is working overtime every day. How can this middle-aged man's body endure it? Zhu Jie happens to be filming on the set during this time, so he can recharge his batteries. We will be able to regain the lost ground in the future.”
As Zhou Yutang spoke, he naturally placed his hand on the blind sister's leg.
"You're driving, don't move!"
Liu Shishi slapped off the paw with a blushing face and glared at him with a hint of irritation and shame.
Today she knew that Zhou Yutang was coming to Shanghai, so she happily skipped her drama class and drove to meet her lover by herself, without even bringing a driver or assistant.
"I'm driving too."
Zhou Yutang said confidently: "By the way, have you been notified that "Sword Rain" is announced, and you and Deng Chao are preparing to participate in a variety show?"
"After this weekend, I'm going to be on the show."
Liu Shishi lamented: "The company's schedule has been arranged, including "Happy Camp", "Best Live", and "Every Day Up".
The first trailer currently released for the movie features Zhou Yutang, and the publicity effect is good.
Trailers will be released one after another next month, and then the creative team will begin to follow the prepared publicity plan and appear on various popular variety shows and media interviews to continue to increase the popularity of the movie.
"By the way, Yu Tang, are the preliminary preparations for "Big Shot" ready?"
"It's almost time. I may stay in Shanghai for more than three months."
"Oh, it's a pity that I have to go on a road show and won't be able to see her for a while, but it seems that Tang Yan is still in Shanghai."
"She doesn't have a job, why is she picking her feet at home?"
"Hahaha, don't make me laugh. You don't have time to pick your feet. It's just that Tangtang has nothing to do recently. She only has a few commercials. Then I'll ask her out to hang out."
From the first moment she met Zhou Yutang, Liu Shi Shi Qingli always had a cheerful smile on her face.
"By the way, I'm quite looking forward to Deng Ziqi's debut album."
……………………
"Han Gen, it's Han Gen again, what's going on? He's been in the news every day lately!?"
Looking at the news about Han Gen on the entertainment portal, Yun Shu clicked the X without hesitation.
As a music school student, he usually pays attention to the news in the entertainment industry, but Han Gen is really indifferent to the fact that he has no works.
It’s as if having been in the Korean entertainment industry has plated your body with gold, and you can make money when you come back.
Simply outrageous.
Look at Zhou Yutang!
That's when the work really speaks for itself, turning the Korean film and television industry upside down. It wants a celebrity, and it wants a celebrity, and it wants a cool style.
Forget it, comparing Han Gen to Zhou Yutang is really an insult to Zhou.
It was late at night, but Brother Chao, his roommate in the dormitory, was still reading books, so Yun Shu couldn't sleep at all.
Putting on the headphones, he looked through the music charts boredly, ready to see if there were any new songs worth listening to recently.
As a student at the Conservatory of Music and a semi-professional, the requirements for songs are quite high.
"Mayday's Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, it feels almost interesting, Xue Zhixuan also released a new song."
After browsing through all the new songs released by famous singers recently, Yun Shu suddenly discovered a few songs that suddenly jumped up from the back of the new song list.
"Deng Ziqi?"
As last year's winner of The Voice, Yun Shu was no stranger to the name Deng Ziqi. When she clicked on it, she found out that she had released a new album, and she immediately became interested.
"Deng Ziqi's debut album "G.E.M." includes several songs such as "Bubble", "In My Singing Voice", "Inflammable and Explosive", "Sleeping Princess", "Where Did U Go", etc."
"It's all bubbles, just a flash of fireworks. All your promises are too fragile."
Listening to the song "Bubble", Yun Shu thought of his beautiful first love in high school and the vows he made.
The promise of love is as fragile as a bubble.
His mood was also affected, and he felt a little sad. Deng Ziqi's singing skills and the touching lyrics and melody of the song touched his heartstrings.
There was no hesitation.
Yun Shu added this song to his collection of playlists named "Classic Singles that Can be Repeated".
Then, I clicked on the next song,
"Without any precaution or worry, you just appeared in my world.
Give me a surprise, I can't help myself
But you happened to be like this, disappearing quietly without me knowing it
There is no news from my world, all that remains are memories
You exist deep in my mind, in my dreams, in my heart, and in my singing."
"Wow!"
Yun Shu was completely moved by the beautiful melody of this song, and even hummed along softly.
A collection of classic singles that can be recycled +1.
There are a few more songs in the album, the quality is pretty good, but none of them are as amazing as the two songs I first listened to.
Until he heard the last song "Inflammable and Explosive", Yun Shu's eyebrows suddenly raised, his whole body was on fire, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
"You want me to be crazy, but you want me to be alone, you want me to be cool, you want me to be frivolous and mean, you want me to be sunny, you want me to be charming and unwavering, you want me to cry and laugh, I have no owner, you want me to be like a dead tree."
The previous lyrics were a baptism for his ears, and as he continued to listen, he was shocked to the point of being horrified.
Yun Shu couldn't help but say: "It's too difficult to keep all the high notes in this song. Which pervert wrote the song? The key is that Deng Ziqi's singing is close to perfect!"
no doubt.
Another classic worth repeating as a single.
Driven by curiosity, Yun Shu opened the songwriter pages of these songs one by one, and then stood up as if there were springs on his butt.
"Holy crap! The songwriters of these three songs are all Zhou Yutang!"
The sound of the stool mopping the floor alerted Brother Chao. Brother Chao, who was silently reeling, put down the book in his hand and frowned slightly: "Lao Yun, what's going on?"
Another roommate who was "fire in the hole" also took off his headphones, and his attention was drawn.
"Sorry, Brother Chao, Xiao Ming, I was fascinated by a good song and disturbed you."
"What song is it?"
"Go listen to Deng Ziqi's new song. Some of the lyrics and music composed by Zhou Yutang are simply amazing!"
Yun Shu told her roommate that she excitedly opened the QQ chat page, found her music sharing group, and decisively threw out the link:
"Deng Ziqi's new song, with lyrics and music composed by Zhou Yutang, is so good that I can't even explain it."
"oh?"
Brother Chao responded calmly and continued reading.
Don't try to stop me from progressing with intrigues.
But he really liked Deng Ziqi, and he once went to the Good Voice live to cheer for her as an audience member. At this time, he couldn't calm down. How could he read the book?
Brother Chao also clicked on the music rankings and clicked on Deng Ziqi’s new songs.
Fifteen minutes later.
Yun Shu continues the single cycle.
These three new songs are really good.
Turn around and look.
Xiao Ming stopped shooting.
He listened to "Bubble" and sighed, as if he was paying homage to his bubble-like, beautiful but fragile love that had just ended during the winter vacation.
Brother Chao stopped reading and even sang along immersedly: "You exist deep in my mind, in my dreams, in my heart, and in my singing."
Yun Shu looked at the computer again. News from the music sharing group kept ringing.
The news that flooded the screen was all about the three new songs in Deng Ziqi’s debut album, and they were almost all praised.
Someone in the group suddenly asked: "I am a newcomer. Who is Zhou Lang, the songwriter of these three new songs?"
There was a moment of silence.
Then the group immediately exploded.
"Zhou Lang is Zhou Yutang, the governor of Jiangdong."
"Representative works: "I Want to See You, I Want to See You, I Want to See You," "Anhe Bridge," "Those Years," "The Wind Rises," Liu Yifei's "Like a Fish," and the Spring Festival Gala song "Where Has the Time Gone?"
"To add: the ceiling of youth movies, the king of lurking talkers, top-notch looks in suits with short haircuts, alien male god Professor Zhou, best screenwriter for Magnolia and Feitian, king of variety shows, boss of entertainment company"
"Also, we were crying at the backstage of the Olympics, Jay Chou, the rumored boyfriend of Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Shishi, and Fan Xiaopang."
In the middle of the night, the message in the group instantly reached 999.
Many people are discussing Deng Ziqi's new album, and quite a few people are jokingly talking about Zhou Yutang.
After all, in this newcomer's debut album, these three songs composed by Zhou Yutang are simply explosive.
Yun Shu smiled.
He knew that Deng Ziqi was going to be popular.
And it's a very hot one.
"Oh? It's popular? It topped the top five of the new song chart overnight? Got it, I'll sleep a little longer."
When Zhou Yutang received Tian Ming's call, his expression was very calm, and he even fell asleep holding Liu Shishi's soft body.
Last night's farewell was better than a wedding.
Unavoidable storms.
After tossing and turning, the two of them fell asleep hugging each other until three o'clock in the morning.
He slept until after ten o'clock, and then Liu Shishi got out of Zhou Yutang's arms, stretched out comfortably, and made an unexplained sound in his mouth.
"Yu Tang, I seem to hear something burning."
"Deng Ziqi is on fire."
"I'll listen to her new song."
Liu Shishi stood up quickly, her fair skin showing through where her curves should be, and she quickly pulled the quilt to cover her beauty.
Putting on a nightgown with comfortable texture, Liu Shishi returned to bed with her laptop in her arms, while listening to music and scrolling through the comments section:
"Ahhh! The new song written by Zhou Yutang for Deng Ziqi is so nice!"
"Jiangdong Navy, your Commander-in-Chief is back."
"I heard that Deng Ziqi was brought out by Zhou Yutang and gave him the nickname Little Goldfish."
"Pfft! Don't tell me, Deng Ziqi does look like a goldfish."
"Zhou Yutang has such a good eye for discovering Deng Ziqi. To be honest, I have never seen a newcomer with such amazing singing skills."
"Captain, I beg you, shoot less drama and release more new songs."
The last song "Like a Fish" that Zhou Yutang wrote for Liu Yifei also entered the top ten of major music charts. It was extremely popular and successfully helped Liu Yifei get out of the slump and re-enter the public eye.
That song was also one of last year's hits.
But this time, these songs for Deng Ziqi, the album has just been released, and the three new songs have reached the top five of the music charts together, making the momentum even more amazing.
"You exist deep in my mind, in my dreams, in my heart, and in my singing voice. The melody is very good. This song sounds very emotional."
"We just broke up. When I heard the song "Bubble", I couldn't help crying. Deng Ziqi sang well, but the culprit is Zhou Yutang. I punish you for being my boyfriend."
"Last night, I had trouble sleeping and suddenly came across "Inflammable and Explosive". I stayed up all night and realized it was a song written by Zhou Yutang."
Not only has it received rave reviews online.
Music critics in the circle also fell into a carnival. While praising Deng Ziqi's talent, they were also amazed by Zhou Yutang's three songs.
Three songs.
Directly sending Deng Ziqi to the throne of the New King.
Her net worth has doubled several times.
Even several judges and teachers from The Voice expressed their praise on social media:
Teacher Liu Huan: "When you listen to this girl singing, you will find it incredible. Of course, she is talented on the one hand, and the debut songs that Yu Tang created for her are also great."
Instant noodle leader Chen Yixun: "This girl's explosive power is immeasurable. I can't imagine her future. Zhou Yutang's vision is right. I have listened to these three songs. They are so good."
Jay Chou was as arrogant as ever in the interview: "You asked me about GEM's debut album? It's pretty good, but I prefer her singing live. When she is alone on the stage, you will clearly feel an overwhelming feeling. The momentum of the whole audience is overwhelming. This debut album is really great, especially the songs written by Yu Tang. They are very emotional and very good."
Princess: "She is very young, but her voice can be as high as the sky. I hope her successful debut is just the starting point for her, and she can go further in the future. As for Yu Tang, can you write a song for me too?" "
The Queen of Heaven didn't seem to be affected by too many emotions. When responding to the media, she made several playful invitations to Zhou Yutang to sing.
Zhou Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he learned about it.
The princess is not the first singer to ask him to sing.
Singers such as Lin Junjie, Liu Ruoying and Instant Noodles have also sent him song invitations.
But he was busy with the preliminary preparations for "Big Shot" and took advantage of the situation to make Deng Ziqi famous.
Han Gen was popular for a while, but was suppressed by Deng Ziqi's new debut album.
Of course, some companies are secretly promoting it by issuing press releases, but most of them are left to their own devices by netizens.
Deng Ziqi herself is the champion of The Voice and has her own popularity.
Her debut album can be said to be the most amazing newcomer album in recent years. The three songs Zhou Yutang wrote for Deng Ziqi also attracted countless fans in a very short period of time, topped the new song list, and all of them blatantly killed It has entered the top five of the Chinese song rankings on major music charts.
Coupled with the new songs of Xu Song and Xu Liang on the QQ Music Chart, Mingjie Company can be said to dominate half of the music charts.
"Zhou Yutang, what do you think of Deng Ziqi's new song reaching the top spot?"
"The first time I heard her singing, I felt that she was a very special one. When she stood on the stage, she had a kind of magic in her body. This is just the beginning. Her next stop is to be a queen. , I hope she can not forget her original intention and continue to make progress."
After accepting a wave of media interviews arranged by Mingjie Company, Zhou Yutang came to Cai Yinong's dinner.
After this sister learned from Liu Shishi that Zhou Yutang was going to stay in Shanghai for a while, she was still in Xiangjiang at the time, but she immediately made a dinner reservation.
When she returned to the Magic City, Liu Shishi had already gone to make announcements, but Tang Yan was still there.
It was the private restaurant that several people often went to. When Zhou Yutang came in, he saw Cai Yinong and Tang Yan chatting.
"Yu Tang."
Seeing Zhou Yutang enter the door, Tang Yan stood up with surprise.
The smile on Cai Yinong's face was more earnest than before: "Yu Tang, your company is really amazing. Deng Ziqi's debut album is a hit, and the ratings of "The Masked Singer" are also exploding. I heard that there is also a heavyweight variety show in the planning Already?"
"Haha, just average, not a big explosion."
Zhou Yutang smiled slightly: "Tangtang, please sit down."
"Is this normal?"
Tang Yan sat next to Zhou Yutang, a little speechless: "After the first episode of "The Masked Singer" was broadcast, the ratings were 2.31% and the audience share was 7.23%, which is higher than "Kuaiben"."
She is not a stupid person who doesn't understand anything.
The ratings of this show started at a lower level than The Voice, but as a brand new music variety show, it has great potential to achieve such results. It is at least a popular variety show on the same level as "I Am a Singer".
""The Voice", "I Am a Singer", "If You Are the One", "The King of Masked Singer"."
Cai Yinong sighed with emotion: "I heard that The Voice has good ratings in South Korea, Japan, and Thailand, and the copyrights have been sold to Europe."
Put yourself in the shoes of a film and television company boss in the industry.
If you are already numb to the popularity of Zhou Yutang's film and television dramas, then the popularity of his variety shows has made Jolin Tsai jealous to the point of soreness.
Tangren Film and Television has worked hard for a whole year, but it may not be as profitable as Zhou Yutang sitting firmly on Diaoyutai and launching a popular variety show behind the scenes.
Tang Yan also had a smile on her face, her red lips parted lightly and she said, "I heard something from my friends in the industry."
Zhou Yutang raised his tea cup and took a sip: "What do you mean?"
Tang Yan's bright eyes sparkled: "Now they call you the King of Variety Shows. When it comes to the Chinese variety show market, Zhou Yutang has the final say."
