Chapter 319 Zhou Yutang: Win-win cooperation, I win twice
Don't look at those with bright faces and thick eyebrows.
He is also an old man with a delicate mind.
Of course he knew Zhou Yutang's net worth and how much energy he had.
It was recently revealed that Ray's shares are worth several hundred million.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
With the size of Jiangdong Entertainment and Mingjie Company, which is preparing to go public, Zhou Yutang is already a huge force in the entertainment industry.
You can tell by looking at the attitude of Mr. Cao of Xinli Media and Lao Wang of Guangguang towards him.
Being able to cooperate with Zhou Yutang has many benefits.
Zhou Yutang is also very arrogant.
His mind changed slightly, and he saw Yu Rongguang's hopeful but restrained expression.
I know it in my heart.
He didn't agree immediately, but after thinking about it for a while, he asked calmly: "Teacher Yu, what is the budget for this drama?"
"The whole show costs almost 50 million."
Yu Rongguang saw Zhou Yutang frown slightly and said quickly: "Mr. Liu from Hairun has nodded for this drama. We, Runshi Rongguang Film and Television, can also contribute part of it. There is a funding gap of about 10 million left. Is Mr. Zhou interested?" Participate in the investment? I think this drama is very meaningful."
Zhou Yutang listened carefully to his statement of the advantages of this drama as a listener.
"If you are not satisfied, the script can be changed again!"
Yu Rongguang knew Zhou Yutang's salary and net worth, but he didn't ask him to star, he just said.
“I’m personally very interested in this project.”
Zhou Yutang thought for a moment, smiled and answered in the affirmative: "Has the role been decided yet, Teacher Yu?"
"Well... the casting hasn't started yet."
Yu Rongguang suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou has a good eye for people. If we have any ideas, we can communicate more."
"What did Mr. Liu say?"
"Mr. Liu has entrusted me with this drama. There should be no problem."
What Zhou Yutang meant by this was that he wanted to insert people into the group.
Yu Rongguang understood instantly.
What he said is also somewhat interesting.
As long as you invest money, whatever role you want can be easily discussed.
So why are you hesitating?
Part one of the Glory Trilogy, just jump in and be done with it.
A smile broke out on Zhou Yutang's face, and he took the initiative to reach out to Yu Rongguang, "Teacher Yu, Jiangdong Entertainment has invested in this project."
"good!"
Yu Rongguang took Zhou Yutang's hand and shook it: "Cooperation can lead to a win-win situation. I'd like to toast Mr. Zhou."
A glass of red wine, drank directly without hesitation.
Yu Rongguang is really radiant now.
There is a saying in the film and television industry that projects that can attract Zhou Yutang to participate will never lose money.
This not only fills the funding gap, but also earns unexpected exposure.
When the time comes to promote the drama, I will recruit Zhou Yutang to gain a steady wave of popularity.
Regardless of whether Zhou Yutang wins or not, Yu Rongguang feels that he has made a fortune.
"I very much agree with what Teacher Yu said. Cooperation can lead to a win-win situation."
Zhou Yutang looked calm on the outside, but he was also slightly happy in his heart.
An investment of 10 million is nothing to him.
Nowadays, Jiangdong Entertainment is not the small workshop it used to be, and this can only be regarded as a minimal project investment.
A project like "The Legend of Mufu" is definitely worth the price of admission.
He can also recruit people into the team, gain the talent of screenwriter Wang Yu, and continue to strengthen the strength of Jiangdong Entertainment Creation Center.
It is said to be a win-win cooperation.
In fact, he won three times.
"Xiao Zhou."
After the cocktail party was over, on the way back, Liu Yifei leaned on Zhou Yutang's broad shoulders, chattering about what happened at the cocktail party, and then asked curiously:
"What did you talk about with Teacher Yu Rongguang? I see you guys were talking in the corner for a long time."
"Originally, I wanted to ask him to borrow someone, but I didn't expect that he also wanted to ask me for investment. We hit it off immediately and took on a good TV series project."
The purpose of a cocktail party is for interpersonal communication.
There are many projects in the circle that were negotiated at cocktail parties.
"Congratulations then!"
As if aware that Zhou Yutang was in a good mood, Liu Yifei also became happy, hugging his arm, and laughing all the way.
almost home.
Xiao Zhou’s driver is addicted to smoking.
Got off the car and went to buy cigarettes.
Liu Yifei had a good time with him in the car before going home.
After taking off makeup, while taking a shower.
Through the mist of water vapor, I looked at the exquisite figure in the mirror.
"It's strange."
Liu Yifei looked sideways and murmured to herself: "It seems to have really gotten bigger."
Humph, it’s all the fault of this bad guy Xiao Zhou!
Thinking about this makes me blush a little.
After taking a shower, Liu Tianxian put on a comfortable nightgown and replied to several messages and photos sent by Zhou Yutang.
It was so late and he was still busy.
I have to work on the post-production of the movie during the day, and I have to work on the script at night.
Click on the photo to enlarge it.
Seeing the bright light on his desk, she keenly noticed that there was a cigarette case. Liu Yifei frowned slightly and made a call directly:
"Xiao Zhou, why are you still smoking?"
"When I'm writing at night, I smoke one now and then."
"No smoking allowed."
Liu Tianxian was coquettish and coquettish, and quickly received a response from Zhou Yutang: "Okay, I won't smoke if I don't want to smoke. I will give the cigarette to the driver Qiang later. He is a big smoker."
"That's pretty much it."
A soft smile appeared on Liu Tianxian's beautiful little face.
After being on the phone for a while, I reluctantly hung up.
She is very sensible.
I know Zhou Yutang is very busy.
Although I wanted to chat with him until bed, I restrained myself from disturbing him further.
He just said that he was going to sleep and hung up the phone.
Of course it's impossible to go to bed so early.
She won't sleep if the moon doesn't sleep.
I chatted with Liu Yan for a while, and then made an appointment with my best friend Shu to have dinner and go shopping together when she comes back from filming.
Then, he lay on the bed, thinking of Zhou Yutang who was like a star holding the moon at tonight's cocktail party.
Feeling proud and happy about his achievements, Liu Yifei thought of the script.
Holding the laptop in her arms, she opened several documents that Zhou Yutang had sent her for a while.
He held his chin with his slender hand and looked at it with rapt attention.
Yu Rongguang was very positive and arrived at Jiangdong Entertainment Building the next day.
I came with Wang Yun.
He came to sign the contract.
Wang Juan was invited to visit Jiangdong Entertainment Creation Center.
After walking around, it was an eye-opener.
On the same floor as the office of the Creation Center, there is a gym, yoga room, entertainment room, and even a professional massage room.
"The conditions are really good."
"We, Mr. Zhou, often discuss scripts with the screenwriters in the creative center."
The capable girl in a professional suit who led the way said with a smile: "He likes the massage room here the most. There are also fruit drinks and afternoon tea, which are also very good."
"No wonder the outside world is saying that the entertainment environment in Jiangdong is comfortable. I want to stay here after seeing it."
Yu Rongguang made a joke and patted Wang Yun on the shoulder: "Follow Zhou Yutang and do a good job in the future. You will definitely get ahead."
From the perspective of a friend, Yu Rongguang was truly happy for Wang Yun when he saw that he had such an opportunity to come forward.
"Um!"
Wang Yun had been tossing and turning since he got home last night and couldn't sleep well.
Until now.
All he could think about was the pie Zhou Yutang drew last night.
My heart is filled with excitement and anticipation.
First I will be the screenwriter of "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", and then I will start working on the "Celebrating More Than Years" series.
Two S-level major projects in succession knocked him unconscious.
Wang Yu seemed to see the sky-reaching avenue that went straight into the blue clouds at his feet.
After all, "Overheard 2" failed to bring Xiangjiang cinema to greatness again. The box office reached 178 million in the two weeks after its release, and it is gradually showing signs of decline.
Among a group of Hong Kong films that are unlikely to succeed, it is a rare and eye-catching film. However, in the huge mainland film market, "A League of Thieves", which was only released last month, has a box office of more than 1.1 billion, which seems a bit unsatisfactory. .
at the same time.
Several movies scheduled for the National Day holiday have already begun promotional work.
Raytheon devoted most of its promotional resources to the film "Painted Wall".
Mr. Yang of Juli Pictures probably also wanted to promote Huang Shengyi to the top, so he spent a lot of money to publish the press release.
Mr. Yang himself was interviewed by the media, and he also vowed: "This movie requires an investment of 200 million, and the box office needs to be at least 600 million to recover the cost. "The Legend of White Snake" shocked foreigners in Venice!"
"This is definitely a magical blockbuster worth watching. If you don't cry after watching it, come to me."
"I estimate that the box office may hit the box office record held by Zhou Yutang's "Thieves""
There was a lot of ridicule on the Internet about Mr. Yang’s confident speech.
"Do you know what the box office record is? Mr. Yang really dares to boast?"
"Shameless, dragging Zhou Yutang into hype."
"You've learned Zhang Dapao's tricks, right?"
An entertainment reporter also came to interview Zhou Yutang and asked what he thought.
He just smiled.
Mr. Yang is not in his eyes yet.
On the contrary, the promotional stills of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" attracted a lot of attention.
Zhou Yutang's Duke Zhou looks majestic and graceful, and is undoubtedly the main propaganda force.
Fan Binbin plays Longyu, the empress of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhou Xun plays Wang Huiwu, a member of the women's rights movement. She wears a pair of big glasses and looks pretty and cute.
However, another big news soon broke. It is said that the film has encountered problems and may have to be postponed.
Zhou Yutang called Han Sanping: "Mr. Han, what's going on?"
"We discussed it in a meeting and it's not a big problem."
Han Sanping smiled and told Zhou Yutang the key points.
Zhou Yutang understood instantly.
Tang Wei, who was originally scheduled to play the role of Tao Yi, the great man's first love girlfriend, was eventually deleted after several twists and turns. Some people are making a fuss about this.
In the past few months, Han Sanping has been in a good mood. He smiled and said: "Yu Tang, you have to come over for the Huabiao Award in a few days."
Zhou Yutang was helpless: "Mr. Han, can you not go?"
"That won't work."
Han Sanping smiled happily: "You can't keep a low profile when you have achieved such results. You should show your face."
The Venice Film Festival has finally come to an end.
Still, female stars from all walks of life compete for beauty on the red carpet.
Yang Gongzi's "The Legend of White Snake" was flooded with drafts, but it turned out to be a non-competition film.
On the other hand, "Sister Tao" invested by Zhou Yutang was shortlisted for the main competition. Although it missed the Golden Lion, it won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director.
This was recognition of Xu Anhua. The emotional female director burst into tears on the spot. This was the first time she had received such recognition. Liu Tianwang also shed tears on the spot.
"Director Xu, congratulations on winning the award. When will you return to China?"
Zhou Yutang made a cross-country phone call to Xu Anhua to express his congratulations.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you. If it weren't for your investment, this drama wouldn't be possible."
Xu An's painting has mixed emotions.
"Without Director Xu, it wouldn't have been possible to film."
"Ha ha."
"It's a win-win situation for everyone."
Zhou Yutang smiled and chatted for a few words: "When we come back to hold a celebration banquet, this year's Golden Horse will also have a lot to do."
He is also in a good mood, and it’s not just about winning awards for his movies.
The original plan was to let Zou Zhongyan make a trip, but when preparations for "The Conjuring" in North America came to a critical juncture, Zhou Yutang asked Li Shuang to lead the team.
Sister Shuang immediately reported back that foreign film producers had spent US$8.5 million to buy out the foreign copyright of this literary film.
The award-winning literary films are different, much more valuable than the original "Mr. Tree".
The investment of 30 million can directly recover the cost.
At the same time, it has brought positive influence to the company.
After returning to China and arranging the release, there was another wave of box office revenue.
It’s so profitable!
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yutang was in a happy mood. He tapped his knees lightly with his knuckles and murmured: "Perhaps, we can also make literary films."
