Chapter 272 Taking in a Heartbroken Woman
Beijing.
A high-end cafe.
Zhou Yutang finally met the film and television strongwoman who is as famous as Cai Yinong.
His insight has always been sharp.
Compared to the last time we met.
This time I saw Jiang Xueyuan again. She was still wearing a decent high-end professional skirt.
Although dignified and elegant.
But the look on his face showed a haggard look that could not be concealed even with delicate makeup.
On the way here, I had done enough homework and understood the situation.
At this time, Jiang Xueruo had divorced Zhou Ping, and Zhouyi Company was involved in debt and lawsuits. The film "Peacock Ling", which she had high hopes for, turned out to be Zhouyi Company's swan song.
Both her career and marriage failed, and life dealt a heavy blow to this woman. There was indeed no reason to be happy.
"Sister Rou, I'm bringing Mr. Zhou here."
Cai Shaofen brought Zhou Yutang over as the middleman and took the initiative to introduce him.
Zhou Yutang also smiled and politely stretched out his hand towards the heartbroken woman: "Mr. Jiang, hello."
Jiang Xuezhen was also observing Zhou Yutang.
Today, Zhou Yutang wears a long linen windbreaker with a black suit and no tie. It is less formal but more casual.
He is famous all over Asia and has become the dream of hundreds of millions of girls. He is naturally recognized for his good looks. In terms of figure alone, he can also be called a walking clothes hanger. No matter where he goes, he is the absolute center of attention.
certainly.
Compared with the last time they met, Jiang Xuezhen intuitively felt a sense of oppression that had nothing to do with appearance.
At this time, Zhou Yutang's aura seemed to be stronger than before.
In just one year.
The world is different.
Zhouyi Company's projects have not been profitable in recent years, and its resources have been severely lost. It has fallen apart and fallen into a point of no return.
But Zhou Yutang led Jiangdong Entertainment to great success, and in a very short period of time, it developed into an extremely powerful force in the film and television industry.
At this time, the attitude of this upstart in the film and television industry was quite warm, but Jiang Xueruo did not dare to neglect him at all. Before he sat down, he stood up in advance, stretched out his hand and shook it:
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
The two of them are not familiar with each other, so after greeting each other, it is natural to avoid embarrassment. This is something that cannot be avoided.
Fortunately, Cai Shaofen is very good at solving problems. She took the initiative to guide the situation. After the brief embarrassment, communication quickly became smoother.
A few simple greetings.
Barbecue Fen went directly to the topic and asked the question for Zhou Yutang: "Sister Jiang Xueyuan, what are your plans in the future?"
"Not ready yet."
Jiang Xuenuo rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile: "We are still fighting a lawsuit. It will take some time to divide the company's property. Unfortunately, Lao Yang has also withdrawn from the circle, alas."
"Nothing lasts forever."
There was a look of concern on Barbecued Pork Fen's face, and she comforted: "Let's all get together and relax. With Sister Xueluo's ability, we will definitely be able to do it again in the future."
The Lao Yang she was talking about was Yang Junyi from the Three Treasures of Zhouyi.
Among the three, Zhang Jing was the first to run away with a bucket and followed Zhou Yutang. Yang Junyi had just announced his retirement from the entertainment industry not long ago, and Yu Bo had also found a way to get involved with a film and television company in Hong Kong.
"It's difficult."
Jiang Xuezhen shook his head and said insightfully: "In this era, everything depends on money. It is no longer the time for us to just put on a show."
"It's hard to talk about fate. I believe you, Sister Jiang Xueyuan, can really do it."
"."
Zhou Yutang held the coffee cup with one hand, and his well-jointed fingers rested on the white porcelain cup, like some kind of beautiful work of art.
He did not interrupt Char Siu Fen to communicate with Jiang Xueruo, but occasionally joined in with a few words at the right time.
The purpose of coming here is naturally to get Jiang Xuetong, or to get the resources of Jiang Xuetong and her men.
The team behind Zhouyi Company is definitely a very powerful presence in the domestic film and television industry.
This screenwriter-centered film and television production company basically produces original scripts for its TV series. Unfortunately, its development has not been smooth in recent years and it has been unable to adapt to the market. By this year, it could no longer continue.
Zhou Ping and Jiang Xueyuan, a couple, each have some of Zhouyi Company's resources in their hands.
This was also the information given to him by Barbecued Pork Fen as an undercover agent.
Zhou Yutang was not the only one who was tempted.
Companies in the circle, including Huace, Perfect Film and Television, are all poaching people.
Zhou Yutang was not willing to lag behind, and through Barbecued Pork Fen, he made an appointment to meet Jiang Xueliang.
After chatting with Barbecued Pork Fen for a while, Jiang Xueluo's face brightened: "Afen, the movie "Sword Rain" that Zhang Jing made last year was great. I went to the cinema to watch it. This movie also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Action. design."
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Zhou."
Barbecued Pork Fen noticed that the fire was in place and brought the topic to Zhou Yutang with great discernment: "At that time, he basically couldn't get any roles, and he was worried at home all day long. He told me that he didn't know what he could do in the future. At that time, Mr. Zhou gave him a chance to get ahead, and now he joins the group "The Grandmaster", which is also recommended by Mr. Zhou using his resources."
"Mr. Zhou is indeed very powerful."
Jiang Xuezhen glanced at Zhou Yutang, and then made a joke: "Maybe I will have to work with Mr. Zhou in the future."
"It's what I asked for."
A smile broke out on Zhou Yutang's face: "Sister Xuenuo is also a senior I admire very much. I grew up watching TV series produced by Zhouyi Company. Now that I have the opportunity to work in the film and television industry, I also hope to have the opportunity to work with Sister Xuenuo. "
The key to winning over people's hearts is to "pull" and "win". It's not about going to the bathing center to pay and go directly to the second floor.
Therefore, you need to have enough foreplay to successfully upgrade the title from "Mr. Jiang" to "Sister Xuerou", and everything will fall into place.
Only for a talent like Jiang Xueyuan did Zhou Yutang put so much thought into it, mainly because her record was quite impressive.
Jiang Xueruo has worked in "A History of the Martial Arts", "Xiao Shiyilang", "Li Wei Becomes an Official", "Water Moon Cave", and is the chief producer of the domestic science fiction drama "Young King Wesley" as early as 2002. "Love Through Time", the originator of the domestic time-travel theme, and "Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts" are the first domestic cultivation dramas.
besides.
This woman also has two professional degrees in overall styling design and color psychology. What's even more outrageous is that she can also write songs.
In this cafe, we talked until dinner time, and finally reached an initial agreement.
The capital was Zhou Yutang's home court, so he naturally wanted to do what a landlord should do, and took Cai Shaofen and Jiang Xueluo to have a meal, where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After seeing Jiang Xuezhuo at the entrance of the Dynasty Hotel, Zhou Yutang took the initiative to extend his hand to Jiang Xuezhuo: "Sister Xuezhuo, happy New Year."
Zhouyi Company collapsed and Jiangdong Entertainment was full.
After today.
Jiangdong Entertainment will have one more behind-the-scenes elite team, and at the same time, it has gained Jiang Xueyuan, a first-class film and television talent.
certainly.
Zhou Yutang also drew the cake.
From now on, Jiang Xueyuan's business will progress smoothly and he will be able to own a small part of the dry shares of the subsidiary that was separated from Jiangdong Entertainment.
In any case, her identity had changed, and Jiang Xueyuan felt a little enlightened. She immediately stood up and shook hands with the young man wearing a windbreaker:
"Mr. Zhou, Happy New Year."
"Mr. Zhou, happy New Year."
After the Spring Festival, employees of Jiangdong Entertainment Company returned to work one after another.
The two girls at the front desk of Jiangdong Entertainment Company were talking and laughing when they suddenly saw Zhou Yutang leading a middle-aged intellectual woman through the door. They instantly entered the dignified mode and stood up straight from their seats.
They were a little curious about the identity of the intellectual and calm middle-aged woman, but more attention was focused on Zhou Yutang.
"Happy New Year."
Unfortunately, Zhou Yutang did not notice the carefully prepared makeup of these two girls in professional skirts.
He only focused on talking to the middle-aged dignified and intellectual woman next to him, nodded slightly to them, and walked straight into the elevator.
"Happy New Year, boss."
As soon as I entered the elevator, I unexpectedly met Xiao Zhao. The two stared at each other, but Xiao Zhao took the initiative to say hello.
The girl was wrapped in a thick down jacket and a scarf, and her whole body was wrapped into a ball of rice dumplings, revealing her cute bun face. Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "Xiao Zhao, you have gained weight."
"ah!?"
When Zhao Liying heard this, she felt as if she was struck by lightning. The smile on her face stiffened a little, froze on her face, and finally slowly disappeared: "I have only gained three pounds. Boss, your eyes are more accurate than a scale. How can you tell?"
"My guess."
Seeing her aggrieved look, Zhou Yutang also found it a little funny: "You were too thin before, but now you are just right."
"Boss, actually I usually eat without getting fat, but this time I have been on vacation for a long time and the food I eat at home is so good."
"Haha, the movie will start shooting soon. You should go to the Yamashita Academy to report first. There will be teachers there to give you special training."
"I know, boss, I will work hard."
Zhao Liying nodded, secretly made up her mind, and prepared to start formulating a devilish fitness plan.
Figure is always the self-esteem of female artists.
Zhou Yutang's unintentional words just now made little Zhao feel alarmed, and she decided to keep her weight within the standard line before the New Year.
"Mr. Zhou."
Jiang Xuezhen, who had just arrived at the company, was a little curious: "Is it the mountain school that you and Zhou Xun jointly established?"
She had also heard before that Zhou Yutang and Zhou Xun jointly established an acting school and hired many veteran actors as acting professors. However, it had not been made public, so it was somewhat mysterious.
"We started this together with Zhou Xun. It's an acting training institution."
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said, "Let Xiaoyu introduce me to you later."
He actually thought of Mr. Zhou. This sister ate sand in the desert for several months. She finally returned to the capital years ago and asked him to have a dinner date. However, he was busy with filming at the time and kept pushing back.
Mr. Zhou is a shareholder of Yamashita Academy, but her temperament is not suitable for teaching acting. The purpose of this academy is to help the artists of Jiangdong Entertainment to improve their acting skills for the time being. When taking over roles, with the help of professional acting teachers, more Well suited to the role.
"Xiao Yu, who is the teacher here at Shanxia Academy?"
"Teacher Liu Tianchi from Chinese Opera."
"Go say hello to her and ask her to help Xiao Zhao understand the role. In addition, notify Sister Shuang, Xu Ming and Lin Xiong to come over for a meeting."
The character of Huang Xiaoxian has very distinctive characteristics, his speech is a bit direct, or his language is a bit harsh.
Zhou Yutang thinks that Miss Zhao has this potential.
"Okay, boss!"
Mao Xiaoyu cut her hair short after the New Year, but she can still be considered clean and cool, and she is as neat as ever in doing things.
After a while, Xu Ming, the boss of the TV business department, and Lin Xiong, the boss of the film department, arrived in the conference room.
These two had outstanding business performance last year, and they received a lot of commissions. Their faces were glowing and they were full of energy.
Xu Ming saw Jiang Xueyuan who was following Zhou Yutang. His expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
After a brief introduction, the reporting work began.
"Mr. Zhou, regarding the TV series, "Shanshan is Coming" has been negotiated with Suzhou TV Station, and the single episode will be sold for 1 million."
Jiang Xuezhen was also secretly frightened when she listened to Xu Ming's report.
The production cost of this drama was no more than 20 million, and 15 million was recouped from advertising alone. Now it has sold 1 million in the first round, with a total of 33 episodes. After deducting other operating costs, it can earn a steady eight figures at the beginning.
Then there are the second, third and other miscellaneous incomes.
This was still an ordinary project of Jiangdong Entertainment. Making money like this refreshed her knowledge. When she looked at Zhou Yutang, she felt a little more respectful.
Zhou Yutang nodded with satisfaction, "When will it be broadcast?"
"Promotion work is already being done over there, and it is expected to be broadcast next month."
"How is the preparation for "Reply 1997" going?"
"It is still in preparation and is expected to start filming in June or July. Yang Mi has finished filming "Palace" and will directly join the filming of "Painted Skin 2" first. Zhang Ruojun's schedule has also been coordinated."
"correct."
Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers on the table, and suddenly remembered something: "Have you made a reservation to watch the movie "Jingxin"?"
With his intervention, Yang Mi's "Palace" and Liu Shishi's "Bu Bu Jing Xin" were approved almost at the same time. However, Yang Mi was still making movies at that time, which delayed the time. Tang Dynasty first released "Bu Bu Jing Xin" "Heart" was filmed.
Xu Mingdao: "I just communicated with Cai Yinong. She wants you, boss, to take the lead in talking to Mango TV."
"Let her talk directly."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "The quality of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" is no problem, and the price is not much worse than "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."
Cai Yinong is a bit clever. If Zhou Yutang talks about it in person, the effect will definitely be different than if she talks about it herself.
But Zhou Yutang had already said hello to Mango, and everyone knew what was going on.
At this stage, it is not a large S-level project, and Zhou Yutang will basically not be directly involved.
"Tang Ren Film's "Snow on Thousand Mountains" has already started filming. Gao Ye is the heroine. In addition, "Xuan Yuan Sword" cooperating with Tang Ren Film and Television has also been approved."
"Leave this project to Deputy Manager Jiang."
Zhou Yutang smiled and introduced everyone.
Jiang Xuezhen was also a well-known figure in the industry. She was brought in by her boss, and everyone quickly accepted her.
After a brief acquaintance, Zhou Yutang continued: "The company will start a major costume drama project in the future. Let's try "Xuanyuan Sword" first."
Xu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up: "Mr. Zhou, are you talking about "Swordsman in the Snow"?"
""Swordsman in the Snow" and "Celebrating More Than Years"."
Zhou Yutang said in a leisurely manner: "There are also "Celebrating More Than Years", "Ghosts", and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". These are the company's next key film and television projects."
He made his first pot of gold with "Swordsman in the Snow" and has always had plans to adapt it into a film and television work.
It's just that Jiangdong Entertainment had no experience in producing costume dramas before, so the time was not ripe. Now that they have hired the behind-the-scenes team of Zhouyi Company brought by Jiang Xuexuo, they have some confidence.
After the filming team has done a few projects and has a little run-in, they can start the TV series plan.
"Mr. Zhou still has good vision. The copyrights he hoarded in the past two years have at least doubled or tripled."
Xu Ming gave a rainbow fart without any trace of trace.
A few years ago, Zhou Yutang's net worth was far less rich than it is now. At that time, spending huge sums of money to hoard copyrights was regarded as a waste of money by many people in the industry.
Until now, he has been praised as having a unique investment vision.
Not only Gu Man's novels, but also the copyrights of Bie Wo Sicun's novels, and a lot of works by Jingjiang goddess.
Everyone can achieve mutual success.
For their work to be noticed by Zhou Yutang, one of the most popular celebrities in the entertainment industry, and to be remade into a film and television drama by Jiangdong Entertainment, it is definitely something worth bragging about on WeChat Moments.
The self-owned media is very popular, the value of the article has doubled, and the fame and fortune that comes with it are inevitable.
Zhou Yutang did not forget to invest in connections. He had a good relationship with these female celebrities, and later acquired the copyrights of several novels at high prices.
But because the copyrights he acquired at the beginning were all at a bargain price, Jingjiang’s boss smiled at first, but later he would have a sad face every time they met.
He never expected that in just a few years, the situation would change, and the copyright of online novels that were previously unavailable could be sold for millions.
Zhou Yutang did not let go of the Singularity. At that time, the novel "Celebrating More Than Years" was still being serialized, so Zhou Yutang decisively took it and bought the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" by the way. This author is famous for being taken advantage of. It is said that the copyright was sold to Singularity at a very low price at the wine table.
"I'll trouble you, Manager Jiang, from now on."
The position Zhou Yutang gave Jiang Xuelou was the deputy manager of the production department, and the manager was concurrently served by Li Shuang.
When Jiang Xuetang heard Zhou Yutang call her name, she smiled slightly, stood up and stretched out her hand to Xu Ming: "Manager Xu, please give me more advice in the future."
"Too polite."
Xu Ming glanced at Jiang Xueyu, with the politeness reserved for adults on his face, and shook hands: "I don't dare to give you any advice. We are all doing things for Mr. Zhou. Let's communicate more in the future."
Zhou Yutang ignored Xu Ming's little thoughts and turned to Lin Xiong to explain the film work:
"On the film side, I will do the post-editing of "A League of Thieves". "Love Is Not Blind" has been discussed with director Xue Xiaolu. There is also "Rescue Mr. My Life". Have the roles been finalized?"
"Mr. Zhou."
Lin Xiongdao, manager of the film business department: "For the project "Rescue Mr. My", the kidnapper Hua Zi has already cast the roles of Wang Qianyuan and criminal police captain Xing Feng. We first contacted Wang Jinghua, and Hu Jun is not available in the first half of this year. , I tried a round of scenes and felt that Liu Huohua is more suitable for this role."
"Well, I heard Brother Jun say this."
After Hu Jun's "Big Shot" became popular, the number of notices increased sharply. He has accepted a historical revolutionary TV series directed by Liu Jiang, an old acquaintance of Zhou Yutang, and now everyone has joined the cast.
"Then let him."
Zhou Yutang himself has no objection to Liu Huohua himself.
There are many sissies in the entertainment industry.
But there are not many actors like this who look like masculine men at first glance.
In addition to Hu Jun, Zhang Hanyu is also one, but Zhang Hanyu's schedule is already full, so Liu Huohua was chosen in the end.
When it comes to playing a tough guy, there are indeed few people in the industry who are more suitable than him.
"Jiang Xuezhen and Zhouyi team join Jiangdong Entertainment."
"Zhou Yutang has another general under his command."
"Jiangdong Entertainment announces New Year film and television plans."
"The Commander-in-Chief is awesome, make it bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!"
soon.
The official website of Jiangdong Entertainment released information about Jiang Xuezhen's appointment, and also announced this year's film and television plans.
Attracted the attention of the entire entertainment industry.
BLG went home last night, heartbroken and not in the mood to type.
