Chapter 264: Make a fortune, the script is completed
night.
bar.
The lights were dim and the singing was particularly sultry.
Huang Xiaoming wore a sexy floral shirt and white suit pants.
Interposed between Zhou Yutang and Fan Xiaopang.
The footage from camera No. 2 showed two people making hidden gestures behind their backs.
Fan Xiaopang received the signal and immediately started making waves.
First, he brushed his hair, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance floating in the air.
He adjusted his shoulder straps, revealing his curves.
then.
She held the goblet in her hand and shook it, her red lips parted delicately, exuding an alluring charm unscrupulously.
Today she is wearing short suspender heating pants.
Almost no man can resist Fan Xiaopang who exudes charm freely.
Unless he's gay.
Huang Xiaoming didn't even look at her.
He turned around and smiled politely at the handsome man next to him, saying hello: "Hello."
If female fans of the Ming Cult saw Huang Xiaoming's signature leader's smile, they would probably get wet.
But Zhou Yutang's expression was obviously a little stunned. Fan Xiaopang on the other side also curled her lips. She felt speechless at being ignored.
At the same time, he also noticed that there was something wrong with this guy's orientation, and made a curved gesture towards Zhou Yutang.
"Hello."
However, considering the reasons for the plan, Zhou Yutang still raised his glass and smiled reluctantly at him.
Huang Xiaoming raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly moved by the sunshine and youthfulness of the boy in front of him, and swung his wine glass, "Are you coming here to travel?"
"Well, I came here to play during the holidays."
"You look very familiar."
Huang Xiaoming successfully struck up a conversation and was delighted to see Liexin: "Can I buy you a glass of red wine? Two glasses of dry red."
"I'll invite you."
"Why?"
"Because it feels like we hit it off."
Zhou Yutang had a green smile on his face, but put one hand on the back of the chair behind him.
Huang Xiaoming looked at Zhou Yutang in front of him and showed his iconic leader's smile.
He also got the active information released by Zhou Yutang very accurately, but he was still a little unsure: "Is it true?"
"of course it's true."
Zhou Yutang lowered his head and raised his wine glass towards him.
The other hand resting on the back of the chair was like a snake, and it swam from behind to his trouser pocket with great familiarity.
The movements of his hands were like walking through flowers and butterflies, and the wallet on Huang Xiaoming's body was taken away.
Then use your fingers to exert force.
Give it a flick.
The wallet came into Fan Xiaopang's hands like magic.
Wow!
Fan Xiaopang's eyes were obviously surprised, and he gave a thumbs up to Zhou Yutang behind his back.
Huang Xiaoming opened his wallet, took out the key identity card from it, and prepared to use advanced equipment to enter the identity information, so that he could obtain the pass for the entire hotel without anyone noticing.
Even though Huang Xiaoming has thick eyebrows and big eyes, his acting skills are really good, and he is also very angry when he plays a gay man.
After complaining to Zhou Yutang for a while about the stupid customers he encountered at work.
Get started.
Zhou Yutang unbuttoned his black shirt one by one.
Revealing his explosive abdominal muscles and perfect figure with golden proportions.
Zhou Yutang struggled to resist.
However, in order to buy time for Fan Xiaopang, it still takes a certain amount of time for the machine to read and copy Huang Xiaoming's identity information.
When filming this scene.
The whole crew turned into fun people and gathered to watch.
Fortunately, Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Yutang are both very professional actors.
The scene passed quickly.
"Yu Tang, you haven't really practiced, have you?"
Huang Bo, who was originally waiting for a good show, looked at Zhou Yutang's performance behind the monitor and his eyes widened in shock.
It's not that the scene between Zhou Yutang and Huang Xiaoming was slightly erotic.
The two of them didn't get stuck much, and they went through it again and again.
It's about Zhou Yutang's miraculous performance in front of the bar.
Although post-production special effects and editing are still needed to achieve the effect, Zhou Yutang's hand speed just now was really amazing.
Almost in the blink of an eye, this set of actions was completed, and I had only tried it in a few scenes before.
Zhou Yutang explained: "I practiced kung fu with teacher Yu Chenghui for a period of time."
"so smart?"
Huang Bo stretched out his hand and scratched in the air: "Is there any Kung Fu like Eagle Catch Kung Fu?"
"That's not true."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.
Fan Xiaopang couldn't help but ask: "How else could your fingers be so flexible?"
"I am not sure as well."
Zhou Yutang came over to the monitor and took a look at the shooting results. He nodded with satisfaction and glanced at her: "Well, I think it mainly depends on talent."
Fan Xiaopang, who had been there before, didn't know what he thought of, and his face suddenly turned red.
Over the next few days, filming continued.
However, Fan Xiaopang, Liu Dehua and Wu Jing all took temporary leave to attend the premiere press conference of "New Shaolin Temple".
At the same time, South Korean actors have already joined the cast.
This was also arranged by Chen Xi in advance. In the past few days, he concentrated on filming scenes with South Korean actors.
As the queen producer who has worked with Zhou Yutang on several dramas, Chen Xi is very comfortable in the position of the crew's housekeeper. Even Zeng Li usually asks her for advice on what a producer should do.
The two women unexpectedly got along well and became good friends.
The premiere of "New Shaolin Temple" was quite grand. Fan Xiaopang walked on the red carpet and was in full swing again. The temperature in December was very low. She was still wearing a white deep V dress. The deep V neckline showed off her fair and delicate collarbones. , and that amazing curve.
Naturally, some media reporters took the opportunity to ask about "A League of Thieves" that Fan Xiaopang and Liu Tianwang were filming.
Fan Xiaopang smiled slightly: "Everyone should believe in Yu Tang. He has brought you so many wonderful works and created many incredible box office records."
Liu Tianwang is also a veteran. When interviewed by the media, his answer was flawless: "Because the filming of the movie is still going on, it is not convenient to reveal too much information to you at the moment, but what I can tell you is that this is definitely a very exciting movie. .”
In the movie market, after the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 600 million, the daily new box office gradually dropped to more than 10 million.
This is also inevitable.
During this period, the box office potential of a movie is basically only seen in the first three weeks.
The viewers who should watch it have already seen it, and the remaining viewers who don’t want to pay for it will find pirated copies all on the internet.
Zhou Yutang's "Big Shot" also saw its daily box office growth suddenly halved three weeks later.
Maoyan predicts based on the response of the movie market that the final box office may be around 680 million, and there may be a chance to hit the 700 million threshold.
By comparison.
The box office trend of Xiaogangpao's "If You Are the One" was even more sluggish. It had a very strong early stage. Huayi Company even once shouted the slogan of breaking Zhou Yutang's box office record.
After the movie was released, online word-of-mouth polarization was severe. It was released a week later than "Let the Bullets Fly". At this time, the daily box office growth dropped to just over 10 million.
Zhou Yutang’s name also appears frequently in entertainment news.
"Director Feng Da no longer seeks defeat alone during the Spring Festival."
"The box office trend of "Let the Bullets Fly" is gradually slowing down, but it is still expected to hit 700 million."
"Zhou Yutang is firmly at the top of the box office of Chinese movies and the number one director of the new generation of commercial films!"
"With a sharp eye, Zhou Yutang may make over 100 million yuan by investing in "Let the Bullets Fly"!"
"How can it be over 100 million, and if it's not enough, you can replenish it for me?"
"It's not worth so much money if you sell me."
Listening to Yang Mi's unique sweet voice on the phone, Zhou Yutang chuckled: "Don't underestimate yourself."
A popular young actress with high traffic and high commercial value, which is why Jiangdong Entertainment signed her.
"Do you have fifty million?"
"should have."
The crew was still setting up the scene, so he had to chat with Damimi for a while.
The investment in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" was too large. Jiangdong Entertainment only took 30% of the share, and the remaining shares were owned by Yinghuang and China Film.
People in the company's film business department have already done the calculations with their little abacus.
Even if the final box office is 700 million.
Excluding theater chain shares and publicity and distribution costs, the box office share is estimated to be more than 80 million.
Putting aside the investment cost, this project has a net profit of more than 50 million.
If it were other film companies in the industry, they would have opened champagne to celebrate.
But when it comes to Jiangdong Entertainment, it’s really not the most profitable project.
The final box office of "Big Shot" was 783 million. Adding up the domestic and foreign box office splits of this movie, the revenue was at least 200 million!
This does not count the TV series and variety shows that Jiangdong Entertainment has made crazy money.
so.
Zhou Yutang was very calm.
But Damimi couldn't calm down.
"Fifty million is a lot."
Damimi on the other side of the phone murmured.
The film and television industry has just entered the capital era, and Yang Mi's net worth has also increased this year, earning more than the past two years combined.
But the money she earns is all earned through hard work.
After leaving this set, I will immediately start filming my next film. During this period, I will also have commercial performances, endorsements, and activities.
When you make money, you have to give a sum to Zhou Yutang, a capitalist, and then deduct taxes.
Tens of millions is indeed not a small amount for her now.
"How is the filming of "Palace" going?"
"I spent a lot of time on the set of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", and there will be reshoots in the future. The progress here is almost half. I guess I have to wait until the Chinese New Year, and then there will be "Painted Skin 2"."
"Take it easy. If you can't stand it anymore, just take a break."
Zhou Yutang couldn't help but persuade him.
"You can't take a break. If there is a suitable drama in the company, please remember to find me. I can appear at any time."
Yang Mi has not forgotten one of the purposes of her phone call.
Only children who cry will get milk.
People will always grow.
Damimi is no longer the young girl who used to stay overnight at the Internet cafe.
Zeng Jia was by her side every day and taught her the rules and reality of this circle.
She also realized it.
The attitude is not positive and there are problems in thinking.
He had to show his presence in front of Zhou Yutang from time to time.
Otherwise, how could she compete with Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei?
How else could she take shortcuts and make progress?
Desperate Sanniang, her reputation is well-deserved.
Zhou Yutang was also a little convinced.
Liu Shishi and Liu Tianxian never asked how much money Zhou Yutang earned.
Tang Yan would occasionally ask.
Yang Mi always asks questions every time she sees this kind of news.
If her best friend Liu Shishi is Buddhist, her other best friend Liu Yifei is immortal.
Then Yang Mi made no secret of her extremely enthusiastic attitude towards making money and her ambition to climb up.
"Oppa, I have to leave, I'm going to release a new album soon."
Lin Yoona said reluctantly, in fact, she didn't have many roles and she didn't stay on the crew for a long time.
"Um."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: "I wish your new album a big hit. How do you feel after staying here for so long?"
“I feel very happy, especially the food here, there are many delicious things.”
Lin Yoona showed a clear and sweet smile: "It's a pity that I can't go out with Oppa."
She joined the team midway and stayed there for less than two weeks before filming was completed.
It's great to be able to work with Zhou Yutang, but as a director, Zhou Yutang is usually very busy at work. He has to coordinate and direct the entire crew, and also communicate with the actors.
She is such a transparent person, and she is unfamiliar with the place she came here. She spends most of her time working with Li Zhien.
"There is ample time."
Zhou Yutang laughed: "You know what this means, right?"
"certainly."
Lin Yoona is a little arrogant: "I am studying Chinese very hard. There will be a long time in the future. There will definitely be opportunities, right?"
"Yes, my Chinese proficiency has improved again."
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Keep working hard, your acting skills are still far from good."
"knew."
Lin Yuner's mouth suddenly dropped.
I felt a little depressed, but unable to refute.
During this time on the set.
She fully realized what the gap was.
Anyone who picks up their acting skills can beat her to the punch.
Even Li Zhien, who came from South Korea together, seemed to be better than him.
"The company will help you arrange acting lessons."
"How does Oppa know?"
Lin Yun'er's little deer eyes showed some curiosity.
"You'll find out when you get back."
Seeing her depressed look, Zhou Yutang couldn't bear to hurt her self-esteem. He touched Lin Yuner's hair, smiled and encouraged:
"Fate will not disappoint those who work hard."
"I know, Oppa."
Li Xiuman, this old fox, really got a taste of the sweetness and called him from time to time to get close to him.
Sm Company also has plans for Lin Yoona to develop into an actress.
It's just that Sm Company's own film and television resources are quite limited.
Zhou Yutang relied on the resources at his disposal to get on Li Fuzhen's line.
The cooperation between the two is no secret in the entertainment industry there.
As the planner of several top variety shows, Zhou Yutang can even speak on SBS, KBS, and MBC TV stations.
The TV drama production model there is that the TV station is the master, finds the screenwriter to produce the script, and then co-produces it with the film and television company.
so.
Now Li Xiuman wanted to hug Zhou Yutang's thigh.
Lin Yoona usually puts most of her energy into practicing singing and dancing, and will also allocate part of her energy to arrange acting classes in the future.
On the flight back to China, Lin Yuner was thinking so.
Although very far away.
But one day.
I want to catch up with your back.
After nearly a month of filming, Huang Zhengmin and Jiang Wenli have finished filming.
The setting is based on Zhou Yutang's script.
Huang Zhengmin and Jiang Wenli have an emotional entanglement that is constantly being resolved and confused.
Later, they turned against each other for some reason, but completed their redemption for each other in the last big theft operation.
Huang Zhengmin took Jiang Wenli to escape pursuit and raced at high speed on the streets.
In the end, the knot was untied, but one was shot and died of excessive blood loss, while the other smiled calmly and lost the desire to struggle.
The car was hit by a truck.
It broke through the railing and fell into the sea.
The scene finally freezes when the car is flying.
Slow motion shows everything in the car flipping and floating.
Time seems to stand still.
There was only this pair of eyes looking at each other with relief.
This section was not shot in real life, but was the result of adding special effects in post-production.
But it can touch people's hearts.
"Well done."
Zhou Yutang took the initiative to praise Huang Zhengmin's acting skills.
He is worthy of being a representative of Mesozoic acting in South Korea.
The most wonderful thing is his last look when he was dying.
His expression was pale after excessive blood loss, and cold sweat was pouring from his forehead. His eyes, which had gradually dimmed, shone with unparalleled brightness when he saw Jiang Wenli crying, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Thank you director, you did such a great job."
Huang Zhengmin quickly thanked her and gave Jiang Wenli a thumbs up: "The acting is very good."
"You speak Chinese very well."
Jiang Wenli was also a little surprised and praised this crew member who came from a foreign country.
Huang Zhengmin said modestly: "I can only speak a little bit."
Zhou Yutang recognized his work attitude very much.
After taking the role, he began to learn Chinese and is now able to communicate simply.
Although his Chinese accent is a bit strange, it is at least understandable.
The crew came up to help him sort out the blood bags on his body.
He also did not forget to thank the staff without any pretense.
The South Korean actor's role on the set has now been completed.
The movie does not tell the ending of Huang Zhengmin here, but it is actually a foreshadowing intentionally left by Zhou Yutang.
SHOWBOX has great confidence in Zhou Yutang and has already proposed a script plan for the sequel. They are planning to continue making a spin-off series based on Zhou Yutang's world view of "Thieves" with Huang Zhengmin as the protagonist.
It's just a project at the moment.
The specifics will have to wait until "A League of Thieves" is released after filming is completed.
If the box office is as expected, then the plan will start immediately, otherwise it will be treated as if it did not happen.
To this.
Zhou Yutang naturally had no objection.
Even if it were to be filmed over there, he would still have to pay him a hefty sum of copyright fees.
These are all things for later, the focus of the current work is still on the filming of the crew.
The end of the year is the busiest period for artists. While Zhou Yutang is speeding up the filming schedule, he is also busy working on scripts at night.
Mainly the TV series script "Reply 1997".
This script is a classic in the Reply series.
However, the Reply series created by Zhou Yutang is set in China, leaving behind the classic plot and basic characters.
The rest of the script is left to the screenwriting department to fill in the content and improve the plot.
The screenwriting department of Jiangdong Entertainment has revised three versions, and now it seems that the last version seems to have done a pretty good job.
"Old Xu, the script of "Reply 1997" is almost ready, and preparations for this drama can begin."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
