Chapter 311 Loyal to Yue Fei, traveling in circles
"Yu Tang."
Jiang Wenli's face was pleasant and her attitude was particularly approachable: "What do you think of Xiao Chun in that drama? Is there any role suitable for her?"
There is a relationship like Zhang Guoli.
Just worked together.
You could say they were acquaintances.
She spoke directly.
Zhou Yutang said tactfully: "Sister Li, we just finished the meeting. Those roles have been decided internally in the company."
"That's it."
Jiang Wenli's voice was not lost either.
She probably had a lot of trouble.
But in the end, he was encouraged to ask classmate Xiao Ma out to play.
Zhou Yutang put the phone aside and rubbed his forehead, feeling a slight headache.
It’s not that he received too many backdoor calls through connections. Hairun’s Chang Jihong and Wang Jinghua both called and wanted to recruit people into the team, but he rejected them all.
He does things, that's it.
It’s good to know that we must give priority to our own artists.
Ma Sichun was not like him, so he naturally had to be at the back.
If there is a problem with the role adaptation of one's own artist, then he will try out the show externally.
What gave him a big headache was Jiang Wenli's untiring efforts to draw the red line.
He expressed his rejection to classmate Xiao Ma, but Jiang Wenli was persistent enough and seemed unwilling to give up.
At this moment, I received a call from Damimi,
"Why are you joining in the fun?"
"I want to try such a good opportunity."
Yang Mi's voice did not hide her ambition at all: "Yu Tang, do you think I have a chance?"
"Can you hold on?"
Zhou Yutang knew what she was thinking, shook his head and laughed: "When will "Painted Skin 2" be finished?"
"It will be over soon."
"When you come back, you will join the group "Reply 1997". They have been waiting for you there for a long time."
"I can take part in the drama."
Da Mimi's sweet voice always sounds like she's acting like a baby.
Not afraid of hardship or tiredness, this fighting spirit moved even Zhou Yutang.
"Why are you working so hard?"
"I want to improve so much."
"."
Zhou Yutang knew that she was playing tricks.
The video of his speech at Nortel not long ago was posted online, and now netizens are eager to make progress.
"If you want to make progress, rely on yourself. Don't always think about taking the back door."
"I'm just asking."
Yang Mi's voice was as sweet as honey: "Yu Tang, I bought a very sexy nightgown."
"A League of Thieves" was finally fully released, with a final domestic box office of 1.128 billion.
The total box office of Xiangjiang and Benzhou exceeded 100 million, making it the most influential movie in both places that year.
Neon also performed well at the box office, but Zhou Yutang negotiated with Sony to buy out the copyright for a total price of 8 million US dollars, which is also a large amount of income.
As for South Korea, it is the film that has topped the box office for the longest time since its release.
There were a total of 14.21 million moviegoers, and the calculated box office was 111.8 billion won, which has broken the box office record of South Korean movies held by "Big Shot" last year.
According to the box office accounting there, the value-added tax and film development fund must first be deducted.
After deducting these two items, the cinema will deduct 50% of the income, distribution fees, and other miscellaneous expenses.
despite this.
This movie still tops the box office charts in South Korea.
It has brought benefits beyond imagination to Zhou Yutang.
Because we have a market base in South Korea, we did not choose to buy out the copyright.
All the film companies in the industry are jealous.
this movie.
It really made Zhou Yutang gain both fame and fortune.
The top leaders also have bright faces.
To achieve such results for a project that was personally designated is definitely a sign that the instructions are in place.
The seminar was a natural fit for the occasion.
A large number of experts and professors in the film and television industry.
As usual, it's about policy.
The government has formulated a series of macro policies to support the cultural industry in order to export culture in the great era.
The entertainment industry must also develop in the direction of all-media, globalization, and the entire industry chain.
The seminar is over.
Zhou Yutang flashed away quickly and was about to find Liu Tianxian, but was dragged to tea by Guangguang Laowang on the way.
"Yu Tang, congratulations to "Thieves" for its box office success."
Light King Changtian's voice was filled with envy that could not be concealed.
He couldn't sleep for several nights after missing the project.
Zhou Yutang also smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, during the National Day holiday, I'll just watch your movie "Painting on the Wall"."
After the summer season, there is the National Day season.
"It's difficult."
Wang Changtian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "On National Day, there is also China Film's "The Founding of the Party", in which you also participated."
This is a mission-driven movie.
Movies released at the same time will naturally suffer from film schedules, and "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is a good example.
"The company will go public in a few days, and you are also a shareholder. Do you want to ring the bell together?"
"I'll forget it, I'm busy casting."
Zhou Yutang laughed softly.
"The drama "Search"?"
"That's right."
"It's good to be young and full of energy."
"Mr. Wang, you are in the prime of life."
Lao Wang complimented himself, and Zhou Yutang reciprocated, and the two exchanged polite business compliments.
Then we chatted for a while about company operations and industry prospects.
It can be seen that Lao Wang is also looking forward to the future of the company after it goes public.
When Enlight went public, the China Securities Regulatory Commission required that Enlight Pictures be merged into Enlight Media and packaged for listing.
I don’t know what twists and turns it went through, but in the end, Wang Changtian had the last laugh in the power struggle between the two brothers.
Zhang Zhao will leave his job soon, but high-level talents like him have nowhere to go. He has long been hooked up with the ambitious boss Jia of LeTV.
Wang Changtian turned a blind eye to this.
As for director Chen Jiashang, Zhang Zhao's confidant and chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, the "Painted Skin" he collaborated with Huayi was very amazing.
After that, he was hooked up by Zhang Zhao and signed several film contracts in a row, but the results were not satisfactory.
That "Jing Wu Chen Zhen" caused Guangguang to lose blood. When the contract ends, if the "Four Famous Catchers" series cannot bring enough profits, he will pack up and get out.
Profit is the eternal theme of this circle.
Lao Wang of Guangguang said this to Zhou Yutang, a bit sincerely.
The topic was full of twists and turns, but Zhou Yutang was not in a hurry to leave. Liu Tianxian was attending an event and would end later.
At this time, Wang Changtian suddenly received a call. He seemed to remember something and said, "Yu Tang, a friend will be here later."
"Then I'll withdraw first."
Zhou Yutang took the hardcover tea box prepared for him and prepared to escape.
Now everyone in the industry knows that he likes to drink tea.
Han Sanping and Wang Changtian always prepare some fine tea every time they meet.
"No, that one is here for you."
After hearing what Wang Changtian said, Zhou Yutang became a little interested.
Within a few minutes, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a polo shirt with a refined appearance pushed open the door.
"Yu Tang, this is Cao Huayi from Xinli Media, Mr. Cao."
"Hello, Mr. Cao."
"Mr. Zhou, hello, hello. I finally see you."
Cao Huayi came up politely, took Zhou Yutang's hand with both hands and shook it.
Before this, the two had met at some cocktail parties and award ceremonies.
It's just a nod of acquaintance, not much friendship.
Wang Changtian smiled and said: "Yu Tang, I came to see you today. Actually, I have something else I want to ask you for help with."
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Cao Huayi next to him: "Mr. Wang wants to make a TV series?"
Cao Huayi, the new CEO of Xinli, was secretly surprised.
This young man's observation skills are really keen.
Wang Changtian poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yutang with a gentle smile on his face: "Actually, we have this plan. Have you heard about the project "Jing Zhong Yue Fei"?"
"How to say?"
Zhou Yutang became a little interested.
Wang Changtian and Cao Huayi looked at each other and continued: "This drama is controlled by Guangguang and Xinli Media. The information is here."
"Let me see."
Zhou Yutang put down his crossed legs, took the small pile of information, and began to look through it.
This is the first TV series about Yue Fei in China, and he is also very interested in it.
The cost budget is 120 million, and the male lead Huang Xiaoming and the female lead Fan Binbin are tentatively selected. The salary of these two is not as good as Zhou Yutang, but it is not low. Part of the salary is used to offset the investment share. Huang Xiaoming's studio and Fan Binbin's studio are also One of the producers.
Seeing that Zhou Yutang had read almost all the information, Wang Changtian asked:
"Yu Tang, are you interested in doing this together?"
From Light Media.
Zhou Yutang went to pick up Liu Tianxian first.
I kept making phone calls and arranging things on the way.
An agreement has been reached with Guangguang Laowang and Cao Huayi that he will guest star in this drama and take on part of the publicity tasks.
He also served as the producer, artistic director, literary planner, and script development of this drama.
Taking several salaries at the same time, and finally converting the investment share, can also allow Jiang Xuezhen to lead Zhouyi's behind-the-scenes team to accumulate experience and prepare for Jiangdong Entertainment's own big drama.
Lao Wang and Cao Huayi also felt that it was very profitable. As long as they could get Zhou Yutang to work on this drama together, it would be worth spending no matter how much money they spent.
"Xiao Zhou, how did you get involved with Xinli Media?"
Liu Yifei rested her pillow on Zhou Yutang's shoulder, listening to him calling Jiang Xuexiao to explain things, and blinked her beautiful eyes with a little curiosity.
"They are all people in this circle. In fact, the ones standing at the top are the ones who have to deal with them sooner or later."
"Cao Huayi is also from Beijing, right?"
"You actually know about Beijing Circle?"
"It's not like I'm indifferent to the world."
Liu Tianxian looked at Zhou Yutang's deliberately surprised look and raised his elbow angrily to give him angrily.
This girl usually exercises a lot and is very energetic.
Zhou Yutang sucked in a breath of cold air, Liu Tianxian rubbed him, took the initiative to come up and kissed him, and said in a slightly coquettish tone:
"Stop pretending, I know it won't hurt you."
"Xiao Zhou, is Cao Huayi very powerful?"
"Quite capable."
Zhou Yutang smiled and told Liu Tianxian these twists and turns of relationships.
In his early years, Cao Huayi worked with Hai Yan, a big boss in Beijing circles, and worked as the general manager of his family, Sheng Chunqiu Film and Television. At that time, the vice president was Zhou Yanxi, another strongman in the TV drama industry.
After a few years of glory, Haiyan gradually fell behind, and these two fledgling producers set out to establish their own business.
Cao Huayi first founded Xinli Media and is an alumnus of Guangguang CEO Wang Changtian.
Lao Wang also took a lot of shares in Xinli Media.
And Lao Cao's wife Gai Lili has a lot of connections with Beijing circles. Not only is she a classmate of Chen Hong, the poet's wife, but she often goes to a celebrity club, the Mengzhou Sports Club founded by Zhang Ruojun and his father.
Even though Zhang Zhen’s father is not very prominent and does not have many projects, he has deep connections in the industry.
Including Chen Kaige, Chen Daoming, Zhao Baogang, Ge You, Yu Rongguang, Zhang Fengyi and others, many celebrities in the Beijing circle are members of his Mengzhou Sports Club.
Zhang Ruojun has often seen Chen Daoming playing mahjong at his house since he was a child.
"That's it"
Liu Yifei nodded suddenly.
She felt a little dizzy just listening to such a complicated relationship.
"I'll take you to expand my network some other time."
"I still won't go."
Liu Yifei shook her head and leaned into his arms: "Actually, I'm not very good at socializing and socializing. My mother does it all. In that kind of situation, I'm afraid that I'll say the wrong thing and embarrass others."
"forget about it."
Thinking that she was indeed not a smooth-tempered person, Zhou Yutang put his arms around Liu Tianxian's small waist and said in a doting tone: "You don't have to socialize anymore. If you encounter something in the circle, just tell me my name and I will give you face."
"Xiao Zhou, do you have such a big reputation?"
"of course."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said, "Whoever dares to mess with you in the future will be beaten without any discussion."
Why focus on progress?
The main reason is to stand higher.
Can have a greater say.
Only in this way can you protect yourself and the women around you.
Today, he has shares in Huayi and Enlight, and is deeply tied to China Film and Shanghai Film Group.
Say something arrogant.
The Beijing and Shanghai circles are almost equally accessible.
Hong Kong also has powerful allies like Ying Huang.
Some people joke that Jiangdong Entertainment is gradually growing into the biggest player in the entertainment industry.
Although it was just a joke, it was enough to show that Zhou Yutang's wings were gradually becoming fuller and stronger.
"Xiao Zhou, you are so amazing"
As if infected by Zhou Yutang's confidence and domineering, Liu Tianxian looked at the handsome side face.
The bodies leaned closer together.
It seemed like she was melting into his arms.
Mom got into trouble the first two years.
It was Xiao Zhou who came forward to help settle matters.
Liu Yifei, who was watching him silently, always knew.
He kept moving forward.
Didn't stop.
A "League of Thieves" has made him the first billionaire box office director, and he has received countless flowers and applause.
But he still didn't think about stopping and enjoying it.
As far as Liu Yifei's schedule is concerned, Zhou Yutang has at least two movies planned this year.
A "Search" has entered the final stage of casting.
"Xiu Chun Dao" is a guest appearance.
In addition, while taking time to prepare the script for himself, he also had to worry about the special effects company and began to prepare for the super-large project of "Now You See Me".
His energy is really frightening.
Think again about yourself.
Liu Yifei felt that she seemed to be a little too salty.
Since this year, I haven't taken any roles yet, I'm busy with some commercials.
"My Love from the Star" has earned her countless traffic, and she has also received many high-end endorsements that female stars in the entertainment industry only dream of.
"Xiao Zhou, you still have to make a guest appearance in that TV series. Isn't this tiring?"
"It's okay if you get used to it."
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "Actually, it's just a name. I'll give my opinions on the script and let the screenwriter studio improve it. There won't be many guest roles."
"You don't have to worry about our script yet."
"Why?"
Zhou Yutang was slightly curious: "Didn't you say that Aunt Liu is in a hurry?"
Liu Tianxian leaned into Zhou Yutang's arms and whispered, "Because I don't want you to have to work so hard."
