Chapter 216 The movie is scheduled to be released, holding the sweet princess in one hand

"Mr. Zhou, the preliminary publicity plan for "Hello, Old Times" has been put in place and will be broadcast the day after tomorrow."

"Um."

At the high-level meeting of Jiangdong Entertainment Company, Zhou Yutang sat high on the throne and turned his pen leisurely: "Has Li Yao and Zhu Yilong's variety show been arranged?"

The manager of Jiangdong Entertainment Planning Department reported: "It's still Hunan TV's "Happy Camp" and "Tian Tian Shang Shang", and the variety shows from Guangdong have also been on."

Zhou Yutang thought for a while and continued: "Go and communicate with Zhang Yibei, cooperate with the broadcast of the TV series, and prepare to be a guest on the next Running Man."

"OK."

The manager of the planning department had a look of admiration in his eyes.

How can a TV series that has not yet been broadcast on Jiangsu Province Station be qualified to be on Mango Channel's flagship variety show?

It's all for Zhou Yutang's sake, and as a guest on a high-profile variety show like Running Man, the publicity effect is bound to be quite good.

This also has a certain stimulating effect on TV drama ratings.

"How is the filming progress of "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?"

"Mr. Zhou, this is a big drama. It will probably not be completed until September."

"Chen Xi."

"Mr. Zhou, I'm here."

Producer Chen Xi stood up.

"Go over there and watch."

Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers on the table: "Speed ​​up the progress and finish it by August at the latest. The company is also preparing a similar movie "Bu Bu Jing Xin"."

At the beginning, "Golden Wedding" opened up the viewing market for realistic marriage themes, and "Let's Get Married" took advantage of it, allowing Zhou Yutang to make a lot of money.

Now "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will also open the door to palace dramas, and "Bu Bu Jing Xin" can also take advantage of the popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to maximize its profits.

After a pause, Zhou Yutang added: "Let's shoot the scenes between Zhu Yilong and Zhao Liying first. Xiao Zhao also has another movie called "Shan Shan Is Coming"."

"OK!"

Chen Xi practiced following Zhou Yutang's several plays and became more capable. He nodded slightly and sat down.

Then the deputy manager of the film business department also stood up and reported: "On the movie side, "Sword Rain" has just been released, "The Man on the Road" has been confirmed to be withdrawn, and the "Big Shot" that Mr. Zhou just filmed is still in post-production, but It may be difficult to choose the schedule of the two movies at that time."

If "The Journey" is confirmed to be released during the Spring Festival, then "Big Shot" will only be released on schedule.

After all, there is another movie during the Spring Festival, "Let the Bullets Fly," in which the company has invested a lot of money, and it is expected to be released around December, and "Journey to the Road" will be released in January or February.

The staggered schedule of two films is already the limit. If another "Big Shot" is inserted, there will be a situation where each other's box office is occupied, and the loss is still your own money.

"I'll take care of the post-production."

Zhou Yutang made a quick decision and said: "As for the schedule, I went to China Film and Television to discuss it with Mr. Han. How is the script of "Love Is Not Blind" going?"

"The writing department is still working on it."

"Speed ​​up the pace and the company will try to launch another movie project in the second half of the year."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou!"

The deputy manager of the film business department sounded excited, and the other key elites in the film business department also became energetic.

As for the senior executives of other TV drama business departments in the conference room, they all cast envious glances.

Several departments of Jiangdong Entertainment Company have an internal competition mechanism, and there is no such thing as lying around to make big money. Commissions are distributed according to projects.

The department is divided into several groups. The higher the profitability of the projects each group is responsible for, the commission received by the entire department will also increase, and the more money each person will receive.

Last year's "Latent" and "My Love from the Star" made the company's TV drama business department full. This year Jiangdong Entertainment has not yet had a hit TV series, and "Good Old Times" has the most A-level projects internally evaluated by the company.

The annual key project "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is still being filmed. According to this progress, it will not be broadcast until at least the second half of the year. As for the project "Step by Step", the casting has not yet been decided.

As for the film department, in the first half of this year, "A Rain of Swords" has had a great box office harvest, followed by "Big Shot" directed by the company's boss Zhou Yutang himself, and the low-budget comedy "Unfortunately" should not be underestimated, and it is currently being released again. A movie project that directly makes people in the TV series department envious.

Zhou Yutang glanced lightly, took in everyone's expressions, and smiled slightly: "The personnel administration department is recruiting a few more screenwriters. I also have a very interesting TV drama script in hand, which I will be working on in the second half of the year. I may be busy by then. Don’t come.”

"Understood, Mr. Zhou."

"Meeting dismissed."

After the meeting, Zhou Yutang looked at the computer screen in the office, resting his chin on his hand and frowning slightly.

Assistant Mao Xiaoyu came in with a stack of documents and put them on the table. He asked curiously: "Boss, when did you start trading in stocks?"

"I'm not speculating in stocks, I'm looking at Huayi's stocks."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead with two fingers and closed the stock market interface.

Xiaogangpao started shooting not long ago, and the international blockbuster "The Spy" invested by Huayi only had a box office of 22 million in its first weekend.

For a movie with such a luxurious lineup, it is obviously an unqualified result.

After the movie was aired, there were many negative reviews online and low ratings.

This caused Huayi's stock price to continue to fall. Zhou Yutang had Huayi shares with a market value of more than 100 million, and millions of them were directly evaporated in this wave.

"The stock market is so scary."

Mao Xiaoyu, who knew the inside story, was secretly speechless.

"Xiaoyu, you also made a lot of money, where did you spend it?"

"I bought a house. Last year, boss, didn't you let me buy a house? I took out a loan to buy a 100-square-meter house, and now it has doubled."

Mao Xiaoyu said happily: "Then I will buy the figure."

Even Mao Xiaoyu, Zhou Yutang's assistant, is a wealthy young woman with a house in the capital. Her monthly salary is tens of thousands, and there are two bonuses in the middle of the year and at the end of the year.

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows: "What's so fun about the figure? Do you want me to introduce you to a handsome guy?"

Mao Xiaoyu disagreed: "How can a handsome guy have fun figures?"

"Fine."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly, defeated by this girl, and he had no choice but to change the subject: "What's your next trip?"

"The starry Mr. Lu has invited you for tea."

Lu Zheng's Starlight Company is something of an oddity in the entertainment industry.

Because there is only one artist in this film and television company, Jing Tian.

Lu Zheng has a deep background and is also a shareholder of Wanda. Of course, he is not doing this film and television company to make money, but purely to make Jingtian famous.

All employees in the entire company serve Da Tiantian.

This year, Starlight Company originally planned to launch "Warring States", a major film and television project with an investment of over 100 million.

Lu Zheng wanted to find Zhou Yutang to play the male lead and Jing Tian to play the female lead. He also invited superstars such as Sun Honglei to join the cast.

Later, he was pushed by Zhou Yutang.

After having a deep conversation with Jing Tian in private, Da Tiantian also listened to the advice and chose to settle down and learn basic acting skills in school.

In addition, Zhang Songwen will also open a small stove for her when she has free time.

Now she is obediently playing an important supporting role in the cast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Lu Zheng asked Zhou Yutang to meet today, but it was for another matter:

"Yu Tang, welcome to join Starlight."

"I hope Mr. Lu will take more care of you in the future."

"If not, the entertainment industry in the future will be dominated by you young people."

Lu Zheng's hand on Zhou Yutang's shoulder was strong, and he smiled and said, "Thank you so much for your help with Tiantian's plan this time."

"If one family doesn't talk to each other, I will be in charge of Tiantian's affairs from now on."

Zhou Yutang showed a smile on his face.

Starlight Lu Zheng approached him several times, and this time Zhou Yutang nodded and agreed to take 19.9% ​​of Starlight's shares in the form of resource investment.

In fact, the company itself does not have much investment value, but Zhou Yutang is also a drunkard.

Lu Zheng is a shareholder of Wanda, and the cooperation between the two, coupled with the resources behind Jing Tian, ​​will be of great benefit to Zhou Yutang's future career development.

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Lu Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and said with emotion: "The entertainment industry doesn't look big, and it's not easy to get around. If Tiantian hadn't met you, I don't know how many detours he would have taken."

Why does this sound a bit strange?

Zhou Yutang chuckled and shook his head: "Actually, Tiantian has a very good personality. If she follows the right path, she will definitely become popular."

"Well, I hope so."

Lu Zheng looked at Zhou Yutang, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I think Tiantian has had his own opinions since he was a child, and he listens to your words."

The past two years have not been without star-studded projects. Jing Tian acted in a movie called "My Beautiful Boss" last year. As a result, stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places were invited. The box office of the movie was not enough to pay the salary.

From now on.

As soon as she got the project, Miss Jing Tian came to see Zhou Yutang.

"Warring States" is one of the larger film projects, and the others are "Destined to Love You", "Crazy for Love", and "Falling in Love with You in This Lifetime".

Zhou Yutang didn’t know where Mr. Lu hired the talented screenwriter to write a lot of scripts. After reading them, what he told Jing Tian was very straightforward:

"If it were me, I would definitely not do these projects. The scripts are mediocre and the dramas are not popular. There is no need to do them."

Want to be famous in the entertainment industry.

Participating in popular film and television dramas is the easiest way.

Otherwise, even if you make 100 popular movies and TV series, no one will remember you, or some viewers will remember your face, but they won't be able to call you by name.

With Zhou Yutang's successful case in front of him, Da Tiantian has no doubts about him.

Therefore, Princess Tiantian is determined not to act in bad movies.

Mr. Lu couldn't do anything about her. Although he had the background and resources, how could it be so easy to come across a blockbuster project?

then.

He set his target on Zhou Yutang.

In terms of background, Zhou Yutang may not be as good as the three major directors.

But when it comes to flattering people, Zhou Yutang is definitely as good as anyone else.

The film and television projects he has worked on are all hits and have made many people famous.

Zeng Li was directly promoted from a third-tier actress to Magnolia and Feitian.

Liu Shishi went from being unknown to becoming a top star.

There are many more cases ahead of us.

It's a pity that Zhou Yutang has been busy making progress in the past two years, and the good resources are basically used to cultivate his own company's artists.

Jing Tian is also studying basic acting skills in school, and Starlight Company is basically in a state of failure.

But now it's different.

The gears of fate began to turn.

After having Zhou Yutang.

Da Tiantian is about to embark on another road that has never been seen before.

Huayi's stock price continued to fall, and the two Mr. Wang finally couldn't sit still.

After holding meetings with the company's senior departments for several days, a response plan was finally made.

The press release for "Earthquake" has begun, and it has also been announced that "If You Are the One 2" will start filming ahead of schedule, continuing the story of the first film, starring Ge You, Shu Qi, Sun Honglei and others, and making an all-out sprint for this year's Lunar New Year release.

The stock price also gradually rebounded, which made the two presidents relieved.

They were short of eight figures, and their hearts were bleeding.

However, Zhou Yutang has no time to pay attention to Hua Yi's affairs, as he has to do the later stages of "Big Shot".

There are still six steps: rough cutting, fine cutting, color grading, special effects, music composition, and final film.

Every step is crucial. Zhou Yutang has been busy doing editing work recently. He first screens the shots and connects the film completely together for rough cutting.

Then proceed to technical fine cutting.

For example, when to cut to which shot, the pace of the picture, the color grading and correction of the shot, and finally the subtitles and special effects.

According to the current work progress feedback, it can be completed within three weeks.

Then comes the soundtrack. You take the finished film to the soundtrack studio and directly combine the two. The resulting film is the finished film, which is then sent for review, and then the distribution company arranges for theatrical screening.

During this period, I also went to China Film Studio to discuss the schedule with Han Sanping.

Zhou Yutang didn't even say a word. When Han Sanping saw him, he took the initiative to hand over the packaged tea.

"Mr. Han, I really didn't come here for the tea." Zhou Yutang was very innocent.

"I know."

Han Sanping had an I-know-you expression on his face: "The main reason is that my old friend took more, so you can help me share some of it."

"Then I won't be polite."

"Yu Tang, your movie "Sword Rain" was really good. You have two more movies coming this year, right?"

Han Sanping sounded a little envious.

This "Sword Rain" was controlled by Zhou Yutang and Galloping Horse. At that time, they were on a business trip abroad, and the remaining share was divided between Guangwang and Yinghuang.

"Well, the company may make another movie in the second half of the year."

"Come over and chat then."

A smile instantly bloomed on Han Sanping's face.

Top-quality tea is not given away for free.

Directly reserve a parking space in Zhou Yutang's new project.

"By the way, how's the post-production of "Big Shot" going?"

"Still watching."

Zhou Yutang flipped through Han Sanping's movie schedule.

The summer film must be "Earthquake". This film has the nature of an official mission, and it is the kind of film that arranges a reserved theater, so you can't be head-on.

The National Day movies are also packed with blockbusters.

"Romance in Lushan 2010", "Jing Wu Fengyun·Chen Zhen", "With You All the Way", "Inception", "Hawthorn Tree Love", "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire".

"Just the National Day period."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and quickly made a decision: "The Lunar New Year promotion is mainly promoting "Let the Bullets Fly", and "The Man on the Road" is scheduled to be released in early February. Let's see if we can catch it."

Zhou Yutang has been really busy recently.

While I was working on the post-production of the movie, I also needed to shoot the commercials for the endorsements, and there were also some dinner parties I couldn’t refuse.

I manage my time to the extreme, so I only occasionally find time to date Liu Yifei.

That day, I sent Liu Yifei home, and then she received a call from Zhang Yibei, the person in charge of the Running Man project: "Boss, do you really want Jing Tian to participate in Running Man?"

"You're trying to say there's a better candidate than her, right?"

"That's not what I meant. If you choose her, boss, you must have some considerations."

Zhang Yibei's tone was a little hesitant.

After all, after Jingtian had previously made her debut song with the exception of "Hello Tomorrow", she didn't have any outstanding masterpieces, and her popularity was much lower than that of the popular Xiaohuadan.

She made this call out of a professional perspective, and she was also a little worried about whether Jing Tian would be accepted by the audience.

"Don't worry, the show "Running Man" will be popular because of this model, not because of a certain host."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "If I want to support Jingtian, she will definitely become popular."

"I understand, boss."

As if infected by Zhou Yutang's strong confidence in his words, Zhang Yibei didn't mention it any more.

"Has the notice arrived for the remaining few? The first episode of the program plan is to let the hosts be as familiar with their positions and program procedures as possible. I don't want any of the hosts to have problems by then."

"I'll make arrangements."

Zhang Yibei answered very professionally.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yutang rubbed his eyebrows.

The hosts of the first season are Deng Chao, Jing Tian, ​​Chen Chichi, Zhang Ruojun, Wang Baojun, Sha Yi and Li Cheng.

Among these seven people, Deng Chao and Wang Baojia hold the highest positions.

Others also have multiple film and television works and have been in the industry for many years.

Only Jing Tian has acted in two movies with little influence, made a popular song, and is also filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan", plus some American Cherry endorsements

The coffee position can be ignored.

But it doesn’t matter whether you have a coffee spot or not.

Having someone to support you is the most important thing.

now.

Zhou Yutang is the man behind the spicy Da Tiantian.

On the flight to Shanghai.

Jing Tian, ​​who had just taken leave from the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", held her chin with her little hand and listened carefully to Zhou Yutang's speech:

"This variety show is called Running Man. As the name suggests, you have to run, but it's not just that simple. Just treat it as playing games with your friends outside, but don't have too many worries. Dare to play, dare to fight, and don't be afraid of hardship. In the end, The important thing is not to have the baggage of idols.”

Zhou Yutang gave serious instructions.

This is the character design developed by the creative team for Da Tiantian.

Just imagine.

A rich lady with a good temperament and good education, but also down-to-earth enough, will definitely attract a lot of fans.

"Well, it feels very interesting. Actually, I quite like sports."

Jing Tian nodded, with a nice curve at the corner of his mouth: "Brother Yu Tang, you are so awesome. You will be my boss from now on, and I will listen to you."

"."

Listening to Da Tiantian's sweet voice, Zhou Yutang's head felt a little big.

Nan Yihuan, Bei Jingtian, and Zhuang Xinyan, who is not popular.

He remembered this sentence clearly.

Since I took over this hell-level mission from Lu Zheng.

He also thought about it a lot in private.

Miss Jing Tian doesn’t want to be the Best Actress, she just wants to be famous.

If it's the former, there's nothing Zhou Yutang can do about it. After all, winning an award requires not only connections and qualifications, but also acting skills.

His acting skills are not up to par, and even if his public relations are in place, he will still be ridiculed after winning an award.

Da Tiantian's acting talent is actually a bit similar to Liu Tianxian.

According to Zhang Songwen, these two girls can be said to be like ducks in water when playing specific types of roles.

For example, Liu Tianxian's Zhao Ling'er and Xiao Longnu, if Jing Tian plays those rich and wealthy daughters, it would be very appropriate.

But if you want to be popular.

Zhou Yutang had many methods.

For example, the current variety show "Running Man" is a shortcut to the end.

According to the arguments of domestic entertainment in the past few years, variety show stars are undoubtedly at the bottom of the entertainment industry.

But after Zhou Yutang launched variety shows, some celebrity guests also discovered that they could benefit greatly from the popular variety shows.

The most typical one is Zhou Yutang's promotion of Deng Ziqi.

A newcomer who just debuted in a music variety show with no fan base has skyrocketed and now has millions of fans.

It is better than countless singers who have worked hard for decades.

Deng Chao's wife Sun Li was very discerning and used connections to book a seat as a running boy in advance.

Running Man was Da Tiantian's first stop at becoming famous, and her top position was Yang Ying's.

Does Yang Ying have any outstanding works?

No.

Does she have acting skills?

still none.

Then why is she so popular?

A large part of the reason is because of "Running Man".

This variety show brought her unimaginable attention and boosted her self-confidence.

Even Yang Ying can rely on Running Man to increase his popularity.

Why can't Da Tiantian do it?

When Zhou Yutang took Da Tiantian into the conference room of Mingjie Company.

The hosts of the men's running team, who had been waiting for a long time, all stood up with respect in their tone:

"Mr. Zhou."
