Chapter 353 Treasure Newcomer, Two Actresses
The Chinese New Year is just over ten days away, and lanterns are hung on the roads in the capital, making the New Year atmosphere more and more intense.
The rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala has also reached its final stage.
At Jiangdong Entertainment, Zhang Ruojun and Yang Mi attended this year's Spring Festival Gala together.
Da Mimi's singing talent is really limited. The album released this year is almost gone.
This song was also included in the Spring Festival Gala program. As for Zhang Ruojun, it was similar to Zhu Yilong last year, with a decent chorus.
On the other side, the promotion of "囧囧" has also reached its final stage.
With "Embarrassed" as the sequel, Zhou Yutang directly spent 30 million in promotional funds, making Baldy Xu's mouth crooked.
There is overwhelming marketing on the Internet, and huge posters showing the duo Xu Zheng and Wang Baohao playing tricks can be seen everywhere in bus stations and subway stations.
Now Baldy Xu, Wang Baoru and Huang Bo are traveling all over the country, working on Huizhou TV's "Very Quiet Distance", Enlight's "Entertainment Live", "The Best Live", and then "Everyday Upward".
For domestic first-line variety shows, everything that can be arranged is arranged, directly maximizing exposure.
Zhou Yutang is personally working on the post-production of "Love Like a Bouquet".
Clean and exquisite pictures, simple and delicate music style, gentle and touching narrative style.
He is personally quite satisfied with this movie.
If "Those Years" is about a beautiful first love on campus, then "Bouquet" is about real love in the real world, and it is easy for people to feel like it.
Zhou Yutang took some time to meet the new talent hired by the artist management department of the company, who was said to have very good qualifications.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
I was looking through the artist's information in the office when I heard Zhou Shufang knocking on the door: "Mr. Zhou, I'm bringing someone over."
"come in."
The newcomer brought by Zhou Shufang greeted politely: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Wang Kai."
Zhou Yutang stood up, looked at him, and nodded slightly: "I heard Manager Zhou talk about you."
Wang Kai said respectfully: "In the future, please give me more advice from Mr. Zhou."
"Has the contract been signed?"
"Signed for five years."
"Um."
Zhou Yutang took the initiative to extend his hand to him: "Welcome to Jiangdong Entertainment, we will be a family from now on."
Jiangdong Entertainment has been promoting the expansion of artist management business, and the biggest gain this year is probably the newcomer Dilraba.
Unexpectedly, there is still something to gain near the end of the year. First, I won the long-legged beauty Tang Yan, and then this young and mature man Wang Kai.
In fact, it has been several years since Wang Kai debuted.
Zhou Yutang still has some impressions of him.
Born in Chinese opera, she played the sissy Chen Jiaming in "The Invincible" a few years ago, which made countless audiences laugh.
As for the acting skills, it's really good, and the key appearance conditions are also very good.
Now Jiangdong Entertainment, including Zhou Yutang, are basically all born after 1985. Zhang Songwen and Ning Li, who was just signed not long ago, are both mature men.
The addition of Wang Kai can fill the vacancy of mature men very well.
After a brief chat in the office, it was time for dinner. Zhou Yutang took him and Zhou Shufang to the company restaurant for dinner.
Many female employees cast curious glances at this handsome and strange man brought into the cafeteria by their boss.
"Mr. Zhou, the company's restaurant is too rich."
"Compared to Huayi's restaurant, it is indeed much better."
Zhou Yutang smiled teasingly.
He has been to Huayi's restaurant, and just like that, Mr. Wang likes to have parties and doesn't like to dine in the company.
Zhou Yutang is more like Wang Changtian. If he is at the company and has no other arrangements, he basically eats in his own restaurant.
But he is used to enjoying himself. He is not as hardworking as Mr. Guangguang, who heats up meals in the microwave every day.
The decoration style of Jiangdong Canteen is simple, and the wooden tables and chairs have a fresh feeling.
But the daily dishes are not simple. They are mainly Chinese food, with rice noodles, ramen and other special local snacks, as well as things like burgers and pizza. There are also free late-night snacks for those who work overtime at night.
Wang Kai was originally a contracted artist of Huayi, but he didn't get much resources. After so many years, he made a movie "The Invincible" and filmed four seasons in one shot. Can you believe it?
Because the character is positioned as a sissy, even Wang Kaikai's parents are worried about whether there is something wrong with their son.
Huayi is now de-filming, and unknown actors like Wang Kai are directly marginalized.
He didn't get a role for a long time. Later, he was promoted by his senior brother Zhang Xinjian to join the cast of "Educated Youth" and played the second male lead.
"Director Zhang Xinjian?"
Hearing this name, Zhou Yutang stopped his chopsticks.
Wang Kai was also slightly stunned: "Mr. Zhou knows Director Zhang?"
"Um."
"Last year when I was filming "Educated Youth", Director Zhang took good care of me and I learned a lot."
Zhou Yutang nodded and listened to King Kaikai tell his story on the crew of "Educated Youth".
From time to time, I would eat some spicy chicken nuggets and drink it over ice, feeling a little happy.
When the artist management department accepted the person, they did some background testing in advance, but they really didn't realize that Wang Kai was a treasure boy.
He is very familiar with director Zhang Xinjian who was born in Shanying, and he also has a good relationship with another gold medal producer Hou Hongliang who was born in Shanying.
Speaking of producer Hou Hongliang, not many people may know him, but he has an identity as the general manager of Shanying and the apprentice of director Kong Sheng.
Noon Sunshine has established its own business this year, and Hou Hongliang is one of the operators behind the scenes.
"In the future, I might have the opportunity to cooperate with Noon Sunshine."
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth, and he suddenly asked: "Manager Zhou, the leading actor of "Why Shengxiao is Silent" has not been decided yet, right?"
"Still auditioning."
Zhou Shufang immediately answered: "It seems that Zhong Hanliang and Huo Jianhua are both interested, and their agent has contacted the company."
She is also a veteran of the world, and knew that Zhou Yutang was trying to win people's hearts, so she named several male stars in succession.
"I think Wang Kai is very suitable for the leading actor He Yichen."
Zhou Yutang wiped his hands with a wet wipe and said in a leisurely manner: "Go and inform Director Liu, just say it was what I meant."
Snap.
Wang Kai's pupils were shaking.
The chopsticks in his hand fell on the table.
sometimes.
Happiness comes so suddenly.
This is the case for Wang Kai.
After sitting on the bench for almost a year, he has recognized the reality.
When the contract expired, Huayi and Huayi broke up quietly, without even a symbolic attempt to persuade him to stay.
There are too many actors like him in the circle, and the only ones Hua Yi values are those at the top of the industry pyramid.
When he signed a contract with Jiangdong Entertainment, he had aspirations in his heart, but before he was ready, the cake was delivered to his mouth.
Zhou Yutang's words made Wang Kai completely confused.
He usually pays attention to film and television news in the industry and knows that "Why Shengxiaomo" is a TV series project that has been announced by Jiangdong Entertainment.
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Shufang nodded and responded, "I'll go communicate with Director Liu."
Director Liu is Director Liu Junjie, who is also a powerful veteran director in the industry.
This year's newly signed Jiangdong Entertainment company, "Why Shengxiaomo" is the first drama handed over to him.
"Mr. Zhou, I will definitely film this drama with all my heart."
Wang Kai picked up the chopsticks and said solemnly, feeling sincerely grateful.
In mid-January, Jiangdong Entertainment announced its TV series plans for the first half of the year.
"The total investment of "Celebrating More Than Years" is over 100 million. Zhou Yutang will play the leading role, and the remaining roles are to be determined."
"The cast of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" has been basically confirmed, with actors such as Tang Yan, Wang Kai, and Li Jian starring. It is expected to start filming after the year."
For a major production like "Celebrating More Than Years", the entire film and television industry is paying attention. The news has been spreading for a long time, and countless netizens have been discussing it online for several rounds.
The TV series adaptation of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" has been launched, which also made many book fans overjoyed.
"In my lifetime, I finally see this book adapted into a TV series."
"Tang Yan has signed a new contract with Jiangdong Entertainment. Is Zhou Yutang going to support her?"
"Who is this Wang Kai? He seems to be from Jiangdong Entertainment. Looking at the photos, he looks quite handsome."
"Produced by Jiangdong Entertainment, it hasn't been broken down yet, just wait and see."
The new drama has been widely discussed online. Tang Yan has been smiling like a flower these days, and her mood is obviously good.
The script has been given to her in advance, and during the Chinese New Year period, she has to fully understand this role.
After Jiangdong Entertainment announced the cast on its official Weibo account, Tang Yan posted a photo of herself sitting on the sofa at home reading a script, a little discreetly showing off her long legs wearing long black cotton socks.
In the film market, the box office of "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" reached 624 million in its fourth week of release, while another film "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" had a box office of 569 million.
At this point, the film schedule has been released, and it is basically impossible to go any further.
The next film, "The War" is about to be released, and "囧" and other movies are coming soon.
The news that "The Thirteen Beauties" returned empty-handed at the Golden Globe Awards also spread back to China.
The Chinese box office is almost a foregone conclusion, and the foreign box office is even more impressive. Facts have proved that the idea of relying on Beer monoclonal antibody to box office is pure fantasy.
Now that the Golden Globe Awards are empty-handed, basically the price of movie rights cannot be raised.
Zhang Weiping's gamble on his wealth can be said to have lost everything.
"The film "Introduction to Architecture" produced by Jiangdong Entertainment has been approved. Zhou Yutang will be the screenwriter. It will be directed by Xue Xiaolu and star Jing Tian, Zhang Ruojun, Zhang Songwen and Gao Yuanyuan."
"The preparations for the epic drama "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" produced by Jiangdong Entertainment have been completed. Zhou Yutang serves as the producer and artistic director. The first crew meeting will be held before the year."
The preparations for the TV series have just been completed, and Mr. Lu has already arranged the draft.
The response was not small. Even South Korean companies came to buy the script "Introduction to Architecture", but Zhou Yutang declined it politely.
He doesn't lack the money. This drama is very popular with the heroine. If you can support Tiantian, why should you support the bad actress?
The script of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" has been completed a long time ago, but the preliminary preparation time is long.
For this kind of costume historical drama, Zhou Yutang's requirements for costumes and props are not generally high.
Fortunately, after preparing for such a long time, it is finally ready and can be started after the new year.
The nominal producer and artistic director of Zhou Yutang's drama, Huan Rui's people, and the rest of the crew all came over to Jiangdong Building for a meeting.
The protagonists Jing Tian and Zhu Yilong are here, and senior Yan Danchen also stars.
"Yu Tang, thank you."
When I came over for a meeting, I met Zhou Yutang talking to Zhu Yilong. Senior Sister Yan took the initiative to come up and pat Zhou Yutang on the shoulder and say hello.
Zhou Yutang turned his head.
His eyes narrowed.
