Chapter 253 The most special person, Junlin Zhongwu Road

To become a special effects company in China is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Figure it out slowly.

First, familiarize yourself with the entire operation process and cultivate talents in the special effects industry.

It's been a long road.

But the film business in the United States can be started now.

After all, U.S. dollars are so delicious.

Except for "The Purge", Zhou Yutang registered the script with the Screenwriters Guild of America with the help of Zou Zhongyan.

I have been cultivating immortality for several days, but I am not happy enough to miss Shu.

When things here were over, it was finally time to return. Before leaving, Zhou Yutang had a conversation with Tian Ming.

"Brother Ming, it's settled here."

"Oh? When will the United States plan to record the show?"

"We must first determine the mentor and then audition, at least until February or March next year."

"When will you return to Magic City? Let's celebrate with champagne."

"Brother Ming, I'm very busy. After finishing things here, I have to go to South Korea for casting."

The two were talking about the copyright issue of "The Voice" in the United States. They finally reached an agreement a few days ago. They still signed a ratings sharing contract. Although the sharing ratio is lower than that in China, the current U.S. dollar exchange rate is very high. Tian Ming felt particularly happy when he went to pick up U.S. dollars with a sack.

Even the voice of this brother was full of joy when he spoke, and he even made a rare risqué talk to Zhou Yutang.

"Yu Tang, please take it easy and have fun, hasn't Yangma sucked you dry yet? You can't stand it when a South Korean girl group chooses a concubine."

"Brother Ming, it's a casting call."

……………………

"Sissi, are you going back to China?"

When Shu Chang connected to Liu Yifei's video, he looked at his best friend who was still so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing even without makeup, and her voice was full of surprises:

"I'm telling you, if you don't come back, I'm going to have school holidays and come over to play with you."

Seeing her best friend chirping like a cheerful bird, Liu Yifei only felt comfortable, smiled and said:

"Then you can come over and play."

The days here are peaceful and peaceful, but a little less interesting.

I have no friends and no career. Mainly because Xiao Zhou is not around, and I always feel like something is missing.

Shu Chang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's meet again when you come back. Why did you suddenly figure it out?"

"Changchang, Xiao Zhou is here to find me."

"ah?"

Shu Chang was a little surprised: "This playboy has been all the limelight in China recently and has been rumored to have affairs with several big beauties. How come he ended up over there?"

"He had a trip here in the United States, so he came over to see me."

"Are you so happy to see you?"

Looking at the fairy's smile in the video, Shu Chang was speechless, "I guess he is interested, but Sissi, are you ready? There will definitely be many women surrounding Zhou Yutang."

"What will happen if there are more women?"

Liu Yifei had firm eyes and a confident smile on her beautiful face: "I feel that I am no worse than anyone else."

Shu Chang was infected by the confidence in Liu Yifei's tone, and was a little startled, and was slightly startled.

In the past, Liu Yifei would never compete with others for anything.

But feelings are not something that can be given away. Now that she has determined it, she will definitely not let it go.

"Changchang, are you still there? I can't hear your voice."

Seeing that there was no movement from Shu Chang's side for a long time, Liu Yifei began to get closer to check whether there was something wrong with her camera or the chat software.

"Oh, the signal was not good just now."

Shu Chang came back to his senses and clenched his fist to support her: "That's true. My Sissi is the most beautiful. I support you."

"Are you filming?"

"Yeah, it's lunch time. Let me show you what I'm eating. Tomato scrambled eggs, big chicken drumsticks, celery and shrimps."

Shu Chang pointed the camera at his lunch box: "By the way, Sissi, when will you come back?"

"I'll come back after I finish taking care of things here."

"That's great. I want to eat spicy hotpot and sing karaoke with you, and then..."

The two best friends chatted until Shu Chang finished eating, and the manager came over to tell the talent to finish.

Because of the time difference.

It's noon over there in Shuchang.

It was already night at Liu Tianxian's side.

She was covered with a soft quilt and fell into a sweet dream amid the sweet singing.

In my sleep, I swam into the sea like a fish.

I met Xiao Zhou as early as on the set of The Condor.

No matter who it is.

I will definitely come back to fight.

Liu Tianxian held the corner of the quilt with her delicate hands, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

As if murmuring in a dream, he uttered the words that he had not been able to say to Shu Chang just now.

just me.

He is the most special person in Xiao Zhou's heart.

……………………

Zhang Yiming is really a talent.

Zhou Yutang opened up the two major theater chains, Wanda and Magic City Xinlian, and then asked Han Sanping for help to open up the joints of the remaining theater chains.

Zhang Yiming led his team of coders to work overtime day and night.

Finally made the cat eyes.

The main functions are already available.

Users can purchase movie tickets on Maoyan Movies, reserve seats conveniently and quickly, and choose their favorite movies and time.

You can also check movie reviews and movie information.

Zhou Yutang got the news at the airport.

After downloading the beta version of the software, I opened the red and white cat icon with great interest.

It can be clearly seen that Maoyan collected data from various theaters and showed that the first weekend box office of "Western Wind" reached 27.8 million, making it the weekend box office champion in the current movie market.

This film is placed in the National Day slot, which is in the same slot as "Jing Wu Chen Zhen" and cannot be watched at all.

However, the luck of the film market in November seems to have been sucked dry by "Big Shot", and the overall atmosphere continues to be bleak and bleak to the extreme.

There are no tigers in the mountains, but monkeys are kings.

"Harry Potter 7" and "Resident Evil 4" will be released in the second half of the year, and only "Wind of the West" will support the market.

However, the score on Maoyan is only 7.2, and most of the film reviews are complaining. This score is likely to decline further.

Before boarding the plane, after having an in-depth experience with the Maoyan software, Zhou Yutang put forward several more pertinent opinions to Zhang Yiming from the perspective of a user:

"Brother Ming, the software is good, but the interface can be simpler and clearer. The ticket purchase display can be placed on the home page, so that users can choose the movie they are interested in and immediately enter the ticket purchase page."

"Also, for upcoming blockbusters, trailers and some interview footage can also be released so that the audience can get more information about the movie."

……………………

This time I flew direct to South Korea, and Samsung's Li Fuzhen's personal female assistant came to pick her up at the airport.

However, because it was a temporary trip, it did not trigger many fan organizations to gather. After signing autographs for a few lucky fans, Zhou Yutang declined their gifts and decisively got in the car and walked away.

"The fans now are really crazy!"

In the car, Mao Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh.

Just now, a female fan actually wanted to put the new iPhone she bought into Zhou Yutang's hand.

Pei Yun also smiled and said: "The boss is very popular here. Many pickle girls will choose the boss when they vote for their ideal boyfriend."

"Sister Pei, how is the collection of actor information here?"

"Those Chungmulu actors are all interested, and several large brokerage companies are ready to entertain you. In addition, the work report of the South Korean branch has been prepared."

Pei Yun's expression became serious and he stopped gossiping. He handed a thin stack of documents in his bag to Zhou Yutang with both hands.

In fact, the Jiangdong branch is mainly responsible for the business connection between Zhou Yutang and Li Fuzhen. It does not have any specific business itself, and there is only one person in the entire company, Li Zhien, who signed the contract of betrayal.

"Li Zhien is developing well."

Zhou Yutang quickly read the report and nodded with satisfaction.

The company invited well-known songwriters here to write the title song "Good Days" for her mini-album "Real", which became an instant hit. It topped the South Korean Gaon chart just after it was released, beating out SNSD and other groups that were at the height of their popularity.

"Haha, the boss still has good taste."

Pei Yun flattered lightly: "Tomorrow night's popular song show, Zhien is also very likely to win."

"Is it a program on SBS TV station?"

"Boss has seen it too?"

"I haven't seen it. I'll have to go to SBS TV station when the time comes."

This time when he came to South Korea, Zhou Yutang did not see that mature and beautiful flower of wealth in the world because of Li Fuzhen's overseas inspection.

But the things that should be discussed have basically been finalized over the phone. The main reason is that SBS TV station, which has a chaebol background, has taken a liking to the variety show "Running Man".

There was a basis for previous cooperation and Zhou Yutang's golden signature, and they had already contacted Zhou Yutang this time when "Running Man" was halfway through the broadcast.

Still following the previous cooperation model, SbS TV station's high-level meeting introduced this variety show and was willing to make corresponding concessions in terms of interests. After all, KBS TV station now has a cooperative relationship with NBC TV station and Zhou Yutang. If you don't show a little sincerity, why? Can you compete with the other two?

The cooperation intention has been confirmed, and it will be almost finalized when the negotiation team arrives tomorrow.

After Zhou Yutang arrived at the company, he first reviewed the actor resume compiled by Pei Yun.

This is the main reason why he came to South Korea, to finalize the South Korean cast of "Thieves" as soon as possible.

"A League of Thieves" is an ensemble drama, and the South Korean actor plays one lead and three roles.

The main actor is the leader of the South Korean thief team, and the age requirement is over 30 years old.

The remaining three actors are just vases, as long as they look good.

Li Zhien, who was trained at home, must have reserved a place.

After reading Pei Yun's report, this little girl is not only very talented in music, but the acting teacher also speaks highly of her.

According to the development route set for her here, she will debut as a solo singer first, and then she can transform into an actor in the future.

I have resources in my hands, so of course I have to use them to show her face in such a blockbuster.

Even just one shot would be of great benefit to her.

Zhongwu Road.

The center of South Korean film-related industry chains.

It is also synonymous with Korean film industry.

It also represents the highest level of acting skills of South Korean film actors.

Only actors who have won the Blue Dragon, Daejong, and Baeksang film awards, or who have won major foreign awards, can be included in the list of Chungmuro ​​actors.

certainly.

This is just the threshold.

If you want to gain a foothold in Chungmuro, you must also consider many factors such as acting skills, box office, and influence.

Actors who are listed in Chungmuro ​​do not sit back and relax. They need to continue to produce works. If their works perform poorly and their influence is reduced, they will be demoted.

so.

When Zhou Yutang, who had just created the legend of South Korean movie box office, offered an olive branch, it instantly attracted the attention of the entire Chungmulu Road.

The final box office of "Big Shot" in China was set at 783 million, and when it was released in South Korea, it reached an astonishing 13.41 million moviegoers.

While setting a new box office record for Chinese movies, it also cleared the South Korean movie box office list.

Currently, two of the top ten movies in South Korea's box office list are works by Zhou Yutang.

One is last year's "The Last Man" and the other is this year's "Big Shot".

Under such circumstances, the blockbuster film "A League of Thieves" co-produced by the two countries has attracted unprecedented attention.

According to the news released by the South Korean branch of Kodong Entertainment in the early stage, even if the role is not the absolute protagonist, being selected for this blockbuster co-produced by the two countries is itself a manifestation of influence.

This is also quite tempting for this group of movie kings and movie queens.

Zhou Yutang was looking through actor resumes at the company when he heard Pei Yun come in from the outside and said: "Boss, Li Bingxian's agency has sent an invitation to talk to you at GHS Club tonight."

"GHS·club?"

Looking at Zhou Yutang's slightly confused expression, Pei Yun smiled ambiguously: "The celebrities and actors here all like to go here to have fun, and they are very famous here."

"Let him go."

Zhou Yutang refused righteously: "Who are you looking down on, and you use this to test me?"

To be honest, this guy Li Bingxian also has something.

He has won many movie stars from South Korea.

The key is also very good at dealing with women. Choi Ji Woo, Song Hye Kyo, Kim Tae Hee and others have all had scandals with him.

Last year, he successfully entered Hollywood with the action film "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra". He is considered one of the most outstanding actors besides Choi Min-sik, Seol Kyung-gu and Song Kang-ho of Chungmuro ​​Troika.

According to the law of mutual exclusion of scumbags.

Zhou Yutang was very unhappy when he saw this guy.

"Okay, I'm going back there."

Pei Yun shrugged and readily agreed.

Whatever the boss says is whatever it is.

After all, Lee Byung-hun is just an actor, with limited energy.

Sitting in the office and looking through a pile of resumes, Zhou Yutang gradually targeted several targets.

"Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae, Jo In-sung, Kwon Sang-woo, and Hyun Bin."

"Sister Pei, notify these agencies and ask them to come over tomorrow to audition."

Zhou Yutang quickly made his decision and circled a few of the actor resumes.

the next day.

Many people came to JD.Entertainment.

Actors such as Lee Jung Jae, Ha Jung Woo, and Jo In Sung all came to audition, as did the younger generation Yoo Ah In, Song Joong Ki, and Kim Soo Hyun.

Huang Zhengmin, accompanied by his wife, met so many big names at the scene.

The couple looked at each other.

I felt a little cold.

I still know my own weight.

His reputation is still inferior to those of the big names in Zhongmulu, such as Li Zhengjae.

They are all professional actors and they move through the scenes very quickly.

From morning to afternoon, Zhou Yutang quickly got the result after comprehensive consideration.

"Maybe. Really, is it me?"

When Huang Zhengmin received the news that he had passed the audition, he was still a little unbelievable.

"It's confirmed."

Zhou Yutang crossed his fingers and said with a smile: "If there is no problem, check the terms of the contract with the legal representative, and then we can sign the contract."

"Thank you, President Zhou, for the promotion."

Opposite Huang Zhengmin's wife was very discerning. She hurriedly pulled her husband to stand up and bowed to thank him: "Let Zhengmin get this opportunity."

Huang Zhengmin's agency is SEM Company, and the boss is his wife.

Huang Zhengmin came to his senses at this time and hurriedly thanked him.

It really felt like a pie falling from the sky and knocking him out.

Huang Zhengmin and his wife quickly signed the contract accompanied by legal personnel, as if they were afraid that Zhou Yutang would regret it.

"President Zhou, I don't know if I have time tonight. I want to entertain President Zhou well to express my gratitude."

The person who spoke about these scenes was Huang Zhengmin’s wife, who was very familiar with socializing. Zhou Yutang looked at the time on his watch, chuckled and shook his head: “Not today, I already have an appointment, I’ll save this meal for the movie. Let’s talk about it after the wedding banquet, just focus on acting.”

"No matter what, I will definitely play this role well!"

Huang Zhengmin said with a serious expression.

When Zhou Yutang got into a nanny car and left, the couple also got into the car.

It was like a switch was turned on, cheering excitedly, and then hugging each other tightly,

Huang Zhengmin, who was not good at words, had mixed feelings: "Honey, I feel that my opportunity has come."

"Boss, why didn't you choose Li Zhengzai? He seems to be more famous than him."

On the way to SBS TV station, Mao Xiaoyu asked curiously.

"He's more pleasing to the eye."

Zhou Yutang crossed his legs and lowered his head to send a message to Liu Shishi.

Blind Sister is still filming "Step by Step" in Hengdian, and Damimi is also filming "Palace".

Hwang Jung-min is an actor who has just entered Chungmuro ​​Road. He is not as famous as Lee Byung-hun, but his acting skills are very good. He has won many awards since his debut. He is known as the most powerful actor of the Mesozoic generation in South Korea.

The key point was that Zhou Yutang discovered that the report given by Pei Yun showed that this person was very interesting.

He is very principled in accepting roles.

First, there is no kissing scene.

Second, don’t do scenes involving child abuse.

They are all green leaves anyway, so just pick one that is qualified in all aspects and is pleasing to your eyes.

"Welcome, President Zhou."

When I arrived at SBS TV station, I was shocked to find that the deputy director was personally waiting in the parking lot with someone.

"Director Li is too kind."

Zhou Yutang got out of the car and shook hands with the familiar director named Li.

This man is about 40 years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a suit and leather shoes. He looks quite capable. He is also Li Fuzhen's representative on SBS TV station.

"The negotiations for the program are going very smoothly, and I very much hope to reach a cooperation with President Zhou."

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with everyone."

"President Zhou, please follow me."

"Xiba!"

Several managers of celebrity artists who had just gotten off the bus saw this group of people passing by.

He looked straight up for a moment and was extremely shocked.

He quickly pulled his artist to bow respectfully at 90 degrees until the group of people walked into SBS TV station.

"Brother, who is that guy?"

Kim Taeyeon and Im Yoona, who had just returned from the schedule announcement, didn't even see the person coming, so they were pulled by their manager and saluted.

It wasn't until the group of people walked away that the agent relaxed and they straightened up.

"I only saw the deputy director of SBS, bringing someone in."

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I didn't see who it was, but the aura was very strong."

"It seems to be Zhou Yutang."

Lin Yuner's deer eyes are very smart: "I just took a sneak peek, and the side face looks a bit like Zhou Yutang."

The manager asked doubtfully: "Yooner, is it true? Are you sure you read it correctly?"

"It's absolutely impossible to mistake it."

Lin Yoona patted her but not large breasts and assured: "Internal news from Zhou Yutang's fan club, yesterday he came to South Korea for the casting of the movie, and today many actors from Zhongmulu came to audition."

She seemed to have thought of something and grinned happily: "I know, there will be IU's stage tonight, and she is an artist from Zhou Yutang's company."

Seeing Lin Yuner's excited expression, Jiazhen spoke eloquently.

Their agent was a little confused.

SNSD’s leader Kim Taeyeon also rolled her eyes.

Yoona, you are the face of SNSD, please be a little more reserved!
