Chapter 350 Clown, KING and Queen
"Don't get excited, Bob."
Zhou Yutang looked at the old man's eager look and smiled calmly: "I'm very interested in DC's Joker."
"Joker?"
Bob was stunned for a moment and found it incredible: "DC has too many superheroes, including Superman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman. Why did you choose the Joker?"
"personal hobby."
Zhou Yutang laughed softly.
"Okay, you always have wild ideas. Is this the only condition?"
"in addition."
Zhou Yutang continued: "I also want the final editing rights of the film, as well as a portion of the investment share."
Although he is not involved in Hollywood.
But I often chat with Zou Zhongyan, and I understand all the six basic situations here.
There is no doubt that the future of superhero movies is bright.
Marvel has always had producer Kevin Feige coordinating and promoting the project. He is also a powerful figure, making the overall layout and planning of the MCU stable.
DC relies on Nolan to carry the banner. Nolan retired after completing the Batman trilogy. This is probably because Warner executives are keen on the market prospects of superhero-themed movies.
It only shouted the slogan of developing superhero comic-themed movies in the future.
But so far, there is no clear layout.
Warner has a criminal record and liked to cause trouble in the early Batman period, but it is undeniable that the DC series does have movie themes that can be explored.
Zhou Yutang has watched the first two films of Nolan's "Batman".
Personally, he is not very interested in Batman who has the ability to make money and has a personable demeanor.
On the contrary, I prefer the Joker played by Heath Ledger. It would definitely be interesting to make a movie with the Joker as the protagonist.
"Zhou, your answer is really unexpected."
Bob smiled bitterly and said, "I need to communicate with Warner again and then give you an answer."
Hollywood follows a producer-centered system.
Under normal circumstances, the producers and producers of the production company have the greatest say in deciding the final film.
Both the starring actor and the director can sit in the editing room and participate in the editing process, but they only have the right to make suggestions, and the final editing rights are still in the hands of the investor's father.
Bob was just the matchmaker and naturally had no power to make decisions for Warner.
Zhou Yutang spread his hands and expressed his casualness.
That’s all he mentioned anyway.
Success or failure.
He has nothing to lose.
"Yu Tang, do you think Warner will agree?"
After getting into the special car from New Line Company, Zou Zhongyan asked slightly curiously.
"It's probably unlikely in the short term."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled: "Anyway, I haven't had time to do it in the past two years. Let's talk about it later."
"Where to go next?"
"Let's meet an old friend first."
You can see familiar faces on the other side of the ocean.
The Imperial Master was very happy.
When I learned that Zhou Yutang was here to see the filming progress of "The Conjuring", I was really concerned and asked a lot of questions.
The two only talked about the film industry, and they had a tacit understanding and did not talk about new pictures.
After the short get-together, Zhang Yimou hesitated for a moment and then sighed: "Yu Tang, you know more about operating the company than I do. Can I ask you a few questions?"
"certainly."
"Is such that."
Zhou Yutang listened carefully and felt a slight movement in his heart.
Zhang Yimou probably had a private discussion with Zhang Weiping, but the effect was not very satisfactory.
Guoshi's studio is signed with New Picture Company, and Ni Ni's management contract is also signed with New Picture Company.
So even if the national master breaks up with Xinxiang, Ni Ni will still have to stay in Zhang Weiping's hands.
There is also the previous director's fee and box office split, which have not been received yet.
Zhang Weiping's meaning is obvious.
If Guoshi is really determined to separate the family, then Ni Ni’s contract will not be taken away, and he will not be given a penny for the director’s fee and box office split.
Zhou Yutang felt slightly happy.
Zhang Dapao was really confused.
Just these few million director fees and box office split plus Ni Ni.
What does it mean compared to Zhang Yimou?
In the film and television industry, the director with the highest status is always the director who has produced blockbuster films and television works.
The director is born for the big screen. Only the big screen can show the charm of the movie.
And the national teacher is born to be a director.
Everyone who has seen the National Master knows this.
He looks easy-going on the outside, but there is an underlying aggressiveness on the inside.
Talented players who do literary and artistic work probably have this kind of momentum in their chests.
If this kind of momentum is let out, it will quickly become mediocre. The little master of poetry is a typical example.
The current Guoshi's temperament has not dissipated, and he is still full of desire to express himself. He is working hard to break through and adapt to the film market.
"Yu Tang, do you want to sign Lao Mouzi?"
Even though Zou Zhongyan is not developing in the domestic film industry, his reputation as a national teacher is still well known.
This is a great director who is very influential at the international level.
"If there is a chance, of course I will give it a try. The company needs a big and powerful director to take charge."
A slight smile appeared on Zhou Yutang's lips.
In the entertainment industry, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.
Although the golden pair of Zhang and Zhang joined hands to create the era of commercial blockbusters in China, Zhou Yutang felt that Zhang Dapao had problems as a person.
He fell out with Zhang Yimou's confidante Gong Huang.
When filming Golden Armor, there was a special clause in the contract signed by Gong Huang. During the filming and promotion of the film, he refused to meet Zhang Dapao and his wife.
Even Zhang Yimou's father criticized Zhang Dapao.
In the past few years, Zhang Dapao used Guo Shi to sweep the domestic film market. He became more and more arrogant and even started to interfere with Guo Shi's film creation.
Ken Takakura, an old friend of the National Master, once wrote him a letter. The original text was to the effect: "As an international director, you must stick to your inner choice of art and not be bound and controlled by the producer."
These words point to Zhang Dapao.
Zhou Yutang thought for a while and called Tian Ming: "Brother Ming, have you gone back?"
"We'll be boarding the plane soon."
"That's right, I have something to do and I need to ask you for a favor."
"What did you say!?"
Zhang Weiping received a call from the other side of the ocean, and his face suddenly darkened: "You mean, he met Zhou Yutang?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang."
"Keep watching and let me know if you have any news."
Zhang Weiping hung up the phone, frowning and getting angrier as he thought about it.
Zhang Yimou left for the United States in advance for the Golden Globe Awards, while he stayed in China to watch the release of "Thirteen Girls".
Although the box office has been beating "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" at the box office, it failed to meet my psychological expectations, and the overseas box office was not ideal.
After many quarrels, Guoshi finally formally proposed to separate the company and untie his personal studio from New Picture.
During this period, senior executives from Huayi, Guangguang, Yinghuang, and LeTV Pictures have all contacted Guoshi.
Now here comes another Zhou Yutang.
Zhang Weiping became angrier as he thought about it.
He felt that his first wife had gone to find the mistress behind his back, so he slammed his cell phone against the wall and smashed it into pieces.
Wow!
Become a desktop cleaning master and drop the files and keyboard on the desk to the ground.
The secretaries around him were all frightened and kept silent, not daring to say anything.
Zhang Dapao's face was extremely gloomy: "You thought you could get rid of me like this, how could it be so easy?"
"You were unjust first, so don't blame me for being unkind."
"The Conjuring" was filmed in North Carolina.
On the way to the set, Zhou Yutang received a message from Liu Shishi, which was a selfie she took during the Weibo night.
"Is it cold to wear a skirt in this weather?"
"I have a warm baby."
"Hurry up and ask Taozi to get your down jacket and put it on. You can't wear long johns anymore."
"Hahaha, that's enough for you. How can any female celebrity wear long johns on the red carpet?"
"This dress is very beautiful. I like it very much. I bought it directly."
There was a time difference between the two sides, but they had a great time chatting.
On this year's Weibo night, there were many acquaintances. On the way to the set, watching the live broadcast, Zhou Yutang took a surprised look and saw Lin Qingxia.
The beauty who was once so magnificent still retains her charm today, but her youth is passing by.
Da Mimi also performed on stage and sang. Her ecstasy and magic sound really made countless people heartbroken and intoxicated:
"Falling in love with peach, sweet chocolate sauce, forgotten yogurt, a little sad"
Damimi took the stage to sing her new song "Fantasy", which is a song from her latest album "Close to Me".
Desperate Sanniang is indeed very hardworking.
After filming "Reply", she immediately went to Mingjie Company to receive vocal training and made an album with a professional music team.
With her song "Providence of Love", she won China Wireless Mobile Music's best-selling film and television hit of the year, the most popular female singer in the 11th CCTV Mainland China, and was named the most popular newcomer in the music industry in 2011, and China's Top 100 A super newcomer in the music scene who won the Gold Award for Best Theme Song in a TV Drama!
At Mango Channel's New Year's Eve party, Damimi sang the song "Providence of Love" again, successfully saving countless vegetative patients.
Because there is a lot of room for improvement in the front end, Yang Mi's singing skills have improved very quickly.
While I was practicing singing in Shanghai, I also took the time to go to Hu Ge's Japanese food shop with my best friend Liu Shishi for a meal. The photo of the two beauties with the sword and the sword that I posted at that time immediately became a hot search topic on Weibo.
But it turns out that without the talent of singing, the career of a singer is really unproductive.
When Liu Tianxian was at the height of his powers, he couldn't even sing or dance in a white silk skirt, and Da Mimi jumped in without any suspense.
The response to the new album released by the company cannot be said to be very successful. Except for "The Provision of Love" written for her by Zhou Yutang, it can be said that almost no one listened to it except bees.
She simply gave up on her plans to enter the music scene.
This year’s Weibo Night, Jiangdong Entertainment can be said to have a super bumper harvest.
Not only did he win the most popular movie brand on Weibo of the year, Zhou Yutang also won the most influential director on Weibo of the year.
also.
The most popular movie on Weibo this year was also won by "Love Lost". Although the movie has been released, classic quotes about lovelorn can still be seen everywhere on Weibo.
Zhou Yutang is the well-deserved KING of Weibo.
In addition, Weibo Queen is Liu Shishi.
This year's "Bu Bu Jing Xin" has caught up with the audience base after "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Liu Shishi's popularity has exploded, and the million-little lion atmosphere has become established.
Tonight, Liu Shishi was wearing a tall blue flowing dress.
The skirt is decorated with sequins, which sparkle under the light.
Pair it with a low ponytail.
Gentle and gentle temperament, exceptionally elegant and dignified.
A frown and a smile, so beautiful that nothing can be found.
