Chapter 215 The shooting is over, the criminal universe

"What's wrong?"

Liu Yifei took off her high heels and put on comfortable pink slippers skillfully. The pain in her ankles due to standing for a long time seemed to be relieved.

"Do you know how rich Zhou Yutang is?"

"how could I know?"

Liu Yifei tied her hair with an elastic band on her wrist and said helplessly: "Mom, why do you care about this?"

Aunt Liu murmured: "Although he entered the industry late, he ranks first on the Forbes celebrity list. His announced income last year was more than 300 million, and his real assets must be even more. How much does this have to be?"

She found it incredible when she thought about it.

The young man who brought the script to the office to find the teacher that afternoon actually grew into a figure that she could only look up to.

Liu Yifei said amusedly: "Mom, I think you are almost obsessed with money."

"You are still young and don't understand yet."

Aunt Liu shook her head.

Young girls who have not experienced the world pay more attention to feelings.

But mature women who have gone through vicissitudes of life are different.

They are more realistic.

The reality is that women need to rely on men who are strong enough to protect themselves from harm.

And now Zhou Yutang, no matter in terms of life, status, money and other aspects, is the best among the best couples Aunt Liu has ever seen.

pity

After placing Liu Yifei's bag, Aunt Liu thought about it for a while and then said: "Qian Qian, do you want to stop thinking about that matter?"

"I've already decided."

Liu Yifei swept her hair around her ears and showed a firm and beautiful smile.

"Son, how much are you worth?"

Although friends around Zhou Yutang were curious, they would not ask this question directly. Only Ms. Wang Fengqin asked quite directly.

"I heard from Mengmeng that it is now rumored on the Internet that you are the richest man in the entertainment industry?"

"You can imagine it. I'm still the king of the United States."

Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly, but he was also speechless.

Every time Wang Fengqin spreads gossip, it is always due to classmate Lin Mengmeng. Last year, she did not send any special products. It seems that Mengmeng has stood up again.

"Not much, just a few hundred million."

I explained it with reservations to the concerned old mother.

Zhou Yutang's main income last year mainly included several aspects.

Film and television projects produced by the company.

In terms of movies, the main ones are "Alone" and "Youth". In terms of TV series, excluding "Insidious" and "My Love from the Star", two phenomenal hits, the "Classmates" series has both good reputation and ratings, and is low-key and great. fiscal.

Mingjie Company has several popular variety shows, and it is a money-making monster.

Last year, several popular variety shows brought extremely amazing benefits. Excluding Tian Ming's share and the cost of maintaining the company's operations, Zhou Yutang's dividend income exceeded 9 figures.

besides.

Zhou Yutang's celebrity status has taken off. Except for a few endorsements that are still in the contract period, the endorsement fees have also increased sharply, and there is still some miscellaneous income.

At present, he can use the funds in his hand to deduct some project investments and costs, and then include fixed assets such as the Jiangdong Building and the shares of several companies. The total net worth is about 1 billion.

certainly.

This is just for now.

House prices are rising every day, and the value of Jiangdong Building is getting higher and higher.

In addition, the most valuable ones are Zhou Yutang's shares in Jiangdong Entertainment and Mingjie Company.

Jiangdong Entertainment almost belongs to him alone. Mingjie Company will not be able to put money in sacks when the variety shows in Europe come to fruition.

Let’s talk about income.

He is a leader in the entertainment industry.

Let’s talk about status.

Zhou Yutang has transcended the level of a star and is on par with the bosses of several major film and television companies in the film and television industry.

When starting a business from scratch, the hardest part is the step from scratch.

After successfully taking that step, with a certain amount of capital, the connections and resources at your disposal are unimaginable to others.

So far.

The entertainment dynasty that Zhou Yutang worked so hard to build finally took shape.

"Lao Zhou, why is your son so promising?"

After ending the call with her son, Wang Fengqin froze on the spot for a long time.

Originally, I wanted to show Zhou Yutang the fruitful results achieved by my online clothing store this year.

Wang Fengqin's online clothing store also benefited from the wave of traffic from "My Love from the Star", and its revenue has successfully jumped from millions to tens of millions. It has also expanded the scale of its own factory and hired many people.

It sounds amazing, but compared to Zhou Yutang's career, it is nothing worth mentioning.

"My son mainly inherited my genes. Besides, no matter how rich he is, he earned it himself. As long as he doesn't violate the law, that's his ability."

When Zhou Zhengping heard about Zhou Yutang's income two years ago, he was so shocked that he couldn't sleep at night.

But recently, when Zhou Yutang calls home, she occasionally reveals career news to him.

Until now.

Zhou Zhengping was numb.

Zhou Yutang gradually became calmer about his achievements.

The key point is that Zhou Yutang has made so much money, and his charity has not fallen behind at all.

In addition to assisting local poverty, Hope Primary Schools in impoverished mountainous areas in southwest China are also under planning and construction.

These things are managed by Zhou Zhengping on a daily basis.

So he was both proud and proud in his heart.

The influence of reaching the top of the celebrity list is still growing. Recently, there have been a lot of random interviews and statistics on the Internet with female celebrities and entertainers as the subjects of investigation.

Question options such as "ideal boyfriend", "the man you most want to date" and "the most popular male artist" were based on celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. Zhou Yutang topped the list without any suspense, and she was Fault leads.

In the past, Zhou Yutang's stunning appearance made her famous in the industry, and some female artists who had a fever took the initiative.

Since Zhou Yutang topped the celebrity list, his status in the entertainment industry has changed a lot from before.

There is a place that can be reflected very intuitively.

That is, the number of female artists actively contacting him has increased exponentially.

His body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of incomparable brilliance.

Many female artists in the circle have focused their fanatical eyes on him.

The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, but it is also a big dye vat.

There are all kinds of women in the circle.

Some directly expressed their goodwill through text messages, while others asked someone to invite Zhou Yutang out for a drink and party.

What's even more outrageous is that some models and 18th-tier female artists directly sent some private photos of exposed figures with numbers to Zhou Yutang's personal email.

The meaning is obvious.

But you can actually understand it if you think about it.

Zhou Yutang is so high above them that at their level, they are completely out of reach.

If you don’t take the initiative, how can you have a story?

Entering the entertainment industry, what you pursue is nothing more than fame and fortune. If you can stand by Zhou Yutang's side and become his woman, then it will be worth it to kneel down and be a licking dog. Everything you have chased in the past will be at your fingertips.

There was one person who didn't understand.

Mao Xiaoyu, the assistant next to Zhou Yutang, complained endlessly: "Boss, my hands hurt so much."

The last time he was crowned emperor overnight in Xiangjiang, the conscientious Xiao Yu took Zhou Yutang's work mobile phone and replied to many congratulatory text messages for fear of missing important news, and his hands almost cramped.

How long has it been?

Facing another wave of fierce attacks from female artists.

"If you work hard, your half-year reward will be doubled this year."

Zhou Yutang just said a few words, and Xiaoyu immediately regained his fighting spirit and began to work hard and control himself.

What kind of coquettish bitch dares to act coquettishly in front of the boss? She is not as good-looking as Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi and is immediately blocked!

"Sun Dasheng, do you think you can catch me like this?"

Zhou Yutang looked at the silver bracelet on his wrist with an indifferent expression. He suddenly became angry and stepped hard on Hu Jun. A disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You think you can catch me like this? I can only hold two at most." You can come out in an hour, do you believe it?"

Before he could finish speaking.

"Zhao Tairen!"

Following Li Yao's clear but angry shout, his long legs kicked him mercilessly.

Oh haha.

Zhou Yutang fell down in response and lay side by side with Hu Jun.

The melon-eaters watching were in an uproar.

The filming of the big shot is finally coming to an end.

In this plot, Hu Jun applied for an order to close the net and arrest. In conjunction with the tiger hunting order from above, he wanted to take down the protective umbrella of the Zhao Group and at the same time arrest Zhou Yutang, who had done all the bad things.

Zhou Yutang wanted to flee in fear of crime. After racing like crazy, he was blocked by Hu Jun on the street. The surveillance camera captured evidence that Zhou Yutang assaulted the police and injured others, and then he started fighting.

then.

Sirens sound.

Long-legged policewoman Li Yaofei kicked and committed meritorious deeds.

The captain played by Wang Jianhui arrived with people, and the last plot ended.

"Card!"

Wen Muye called out from behind the monitor.

Li Yao beside him immediately helped Zhou Yutang up, patted the dust on his suit jacket, and asked with concern: "Boss, are you okay?"

"fine."

Zhou Yutang waved his hand, walked behind the monitor with battle-damaged makeup, and communicated with Wen Muye about the shooting results.

The last scene included an action scene, which was filmed many times. Hu Jun suffered a lot, and he himself was also injured.

It wasn't Li Yao who kicked him with his long legs, but his feet were bruised on the ground during the filming process.

When making an action movie, bumps and bruises are inevitable.

The big boss was injured, which made everyone around him nervous and even wanted to take him to the hospital for a check-up, but Zhou Yutang himself didn't care.

The wound was almost healed by the time we got to the hospital.

"thank you all."

With a relieved smile on his face, Zhou Yutang clapped his hands, and the voices that had been discussing just now suddenly became quiet.

"The filming of "Big Shot" is finished. Let's go back and clean up. The crew will hold a wrapping party tonight. We won't go home until we are drunk."

"All expenses will be paid by Mr. Zhao."

Zhou Yutang also laughed and played a joke from the movie.

I feel like this line has a bit of magic and could be put into the trailer when the time comes.

"Wow, Mr. Zhao is awesome!"

Lei Datou and Guo Jingfei, two actors who came over to make guest appearances, started making noises together.

"Mr. Zhou is awesome!"

The entire crew cheered one after another.

These people are all Zhou Yutang's old team, and they work together very well. The film was completed in less than two months.

The closing banquet is over.

Hu Jun drank a lot tonight and came up to hug Zhou Yutang. He smiled wryly without the heroic spirit of Qiao Feng: "Yu Tang, action scenes are really difficult, and you will also be injured as a result."

"Small question, Brother Jun, you did a great job. I feel like this drama will be a hit."

Zhou Yutang's calf injury was an accidental scratch while filming the last action scene with Hu Jun.

He didn't take it to heart, but Hu Jun did, and felt a little sorry.

Hu Jun's face glowed: "But it was quite fun to shoot. If you have any scenes in the future, just come to me directly. I will be available at any time."

A first-line actor like him cannot be available at any time, but if Zhou Yutang's resources are available, the priority will naturally be higher than other film and television resources.

"sure."

Zhou Yutang also said a few polite words, and then started chatting with Xu Guangtou and Wen Muye.

"Yu Tang."

Wen Muye was still thinking about the things in the movie, so he took the initiative to ask: "By burying those lines in this movie, do you want to make a few more spin-off movies and TV series?"

Zhou Yutang smiled and nodded: "I have this idea. Let's talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future."

"No wonder, I think there is a hint in the play that there is a bigger protective umbrella behind the Zhao Group."

Bald Xu is also a talented person. His eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately understood: "Mr. Zhou is so awesome. How come you can think of so many things? I admire you."

"hehe."

Zhou Yutang, who had already developed an immune mechanism against Bald Xu's rainbow fart, just smiled.

He laid down several lines while filming the movie "The Lonely Agent".

One of them is the story of Wu Jing in "Wolf Warrior", and the human organ business run by Liang Jiahui. In "Big Shot", Zhang Guoli guest-starred as Zhao Longbiao, the chairman of the Zhao Group, who wanted a kidney transplant, but could not find a match. His organ I bought it at the underground human body market controlled by Liang Jiahui in "Agent".

This illegal business is vaguely related to the organ trade in Thailand, and Zhou Yutang plans to wrap up this line in "Slaying the Wolf 2".

The Zhao Group is huge and has some unknown relationships with several huge black forces such as Luteng City and Jinghai City.

There are also Gao Yuliang played by Zhang Zhijian and Qi Tongwei played by Xu Yajun. These two leaders also appear in the play.

These.

It was the clues that Zhou Yutang had planted in advance.

Grass snakes lie on the line, and the veins lie thousands of miles away.

If this is expanded.

This is a complete criminal universe that Zhou Yutang is preparing to create.

drop.

Open the hotel room door.

Zhou Yutang went to take a shower first, washing away the tiredness and the smell of alcohol.

I had been filming and socializing just now and there was no reaction, but now the open wound on my calf was stimulated by the hot water, and it hurt a little.

I put on a pair of loose shorts and was about to put on some medicine when I heard a knock on the door.

"boss."

"Li Yan?"

Zhou Yutang was startled for a moment, then got up and opened the door: "It's so late, what can I do?"

"Is such that."

I don't know why, Li Yao's little face was a little red, but he still handed over a small bag behind his back with both hands, lowered his head and said: "Boss, I see you have an injury on your leg. Inside is the potion I bought, which is specially used to treat the injury." Hurt."

"Well, thank you."

Zhou Yutang took the medical bag and said softly, "Go to bed early. You will join the cast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" when you get back, right?"

His artists are never short of filming.

After "Snow Leopard", Li Yao joined the cast of "Big Shot", and will soon play a very important supporting role in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Another TV series "Hello, Old Time" will soon be broadcast on Suzhou Channel .

Tang Yan mentioned this kind of treatment during several chats, and she was extremely envious of it.

"Um."

Li Yao nodded slightly, plucked up the courage, raised his head, smiled and said: "Boss, good night."

"Good night."

Watching Li Yao disappear around the corner of the corridor, Zhou Yutang closed the door.

Looking at the several medical bags placed on the coffee table in the room.

A bit of a headache.

Liu Shishi has filmed many fighting scenes and has rich experience. When chatting with Zhou Yutang, he knew that there were action scenes in "Big Shot", so he prepared some useful potions for Zhou Yutang in advance.

Liu Yifei also bought it and had it delivered by courier.

Zeng Li was even more attentive. He had already packed the movie in Zhou Yutang's suitcase before even turning it on.

Mao Xiaoyu, who was Zhou Yutang's assistant, originally wanted to buy potions at night, but was stopped by Zhou Yutang.

Unexpectedly, Li Yao quietly bought it himself.

Delivered everything.

Also well-intentioned.

After all, Zhou Yutang couldn't bear to refuse.

The box office of "Sword Rain" was finally set at 368 million, achieving both good reputation and box office success.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Kong director Chen Kexin announced the project of the "Martial Arts" movie, which will cost US$20 million and feature a top-notch luxurious lineup of Donnie Yen, Takeshi Jingcheng and Tang Wei.

"The Spy", which had already gone through an overwhelming publicity campaign, finally held its premiere ceremony at the Magic City International Cinema at the beginning of the month.

This film is directed by Hollywood director Mikael Haverström and stars John Cusack, Gong Li, Zhou Runfa, Franka Potente, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Rinko Kikuchi, David Moore The spy movie starring Si, Ken Watanabe and other luxurious cast members was claimed at the press conference to be an epic spy movie.

The total investment exceeds US$50 million. According to the one-three rule of the film industry, it must sell at least 800 million box office to recover the cost.

Zhou Yutang returned to the capital and first watched the movie with Liu Yifei.

Liu Tianxian admired Gong Li quite a lot. When he came out of the cinema and got into the car, he hugged his arm and said curiously: "Xiao Zhou, I think this movie is quite awkward. You said this movie is really good." Can it be sold for 800 million?"

"As of right now, it can be done in a dream."

Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Yifei's slender waist: "The quality of the movie is not that high yet."

Liu Yifei leaned on Zhou Yutang's shoulder: "I saw this movie, and the promotion started at the beginning of the year."

"It was originally supposed to be released in early January this year, but after seeing the finished film, Weinstein Pictures felt dissatisfied, so they re-edited it and postponed its release until now."

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said: "Harvey is an old fox. For such a blockbuster, delaying the release can only mean that there is a problem with the quality of the film."

"Weinstein is famous in Hollywood."

"Haha, Director Feng was deceived by him."

Zhou Yutang chuckled: "If he keeps playing like this, he will overturn sooner or later."

We cannot talk about Hollywood without mentioning Harvey Weinstein.

This person is very capable, but his reputation is not very good. The famous Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow is a masterpiece of Weinstein’s public relations operation.

At the Magic City International Film Festival a few days ago, Zhou Yutang was rushing to make progress and declined the invitation of Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film Group.

Xiaogangpao was invited to attend and opened fire at the forum "Chinese Films and Hollywood Cooperation Territory".

Without any mercy, he called Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein a liar on the spot, and also criticized the brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, the bosses of his Huayi Company, for their self-aggrandizement in entering the international market, causing an uproar.

"Xiao Zhou, how did he lie? Can you tell me?"

"It's very simple. Weinstein's usual method is to announce at a film festival that he has bought out the overseas distribution rights of a Chinese film at a high price, and he boasts about it, saying that he will invest a lot of resources. In this way, the film studio will definitely be happy. If you are crazy, you simply cannot refuse the temptation of entering overseas markets.”

Zhou Yutang is also very clear about the routine: "Then he pays a meager deposit in advance, and after other buyers have withdrawn, he then buys at a lower price by giving up the deposit. At this time, everyone in the film crew is stupid, and there is no way to sell. , Director Feng was cheated so hard in the past that he almost had PTSD."

"Xiao Zhou."

"Well, classmate Xiao Liu, what do you want to say?"

"I'd say you know a lot."

"Xianbao, average, third in the world."

Facing the adoring light in Liu Yifei's eyes, Zhou Yutang was a little bit carried away, and his little hands gradually became dishonest.
