Chapter 433: I can’t get on the stage, just because I like it
The filming of "Now You See Me" in Haojiang is going smoothly and is expected to be completed in a few days. Chen Xi is already preparing for the transition to neon shooting.
During this period, Yinghuang boss Yang Shoucheng also came to visit the class.
Just before Zhou Yutang left Haojiang, he received another invitation from a local snake.
President of Haojiang Film and Television Production Association and President Hua of Moon Entertainment.
In the early years, this person was a junkie boy in Haojiang, that is, a young man who solicited customers for casinos and provided loan services to gamblers.
However, he was clever and invented a loan scheme, which exempted him from deducting interest in advance. Instead, the junkie boy accompanied the gambler to exchange the loan for chips.
Every time a gambler places a bet, the junket operator takes 10% of the money. This eliminates the need to pay interest in advance, making the gambler psychologically feel that they have more gambling capital and can borrow more freely.
From then on, Mr. Hua rose through the ranks and finally made his mark. Now he owns 14 casinos, has a net worth of billions, and is the idol of countless young and Dangerous kids.
"Mr. Zhou."
Chen Xi knew this person's background and was a little nervous: "Would you like to talk to Miss He?"
"Need not."
Zhou Yutang was very calm: "Let's see what he has to say first."
Not to mention that Yinghuang boss Yang Shoucheng has a 10% share in this movie. I had dinner with Miss He some time ago and even reported it to the newspaper. This is a project that even the bosses are paying attention to.
Zhou Yutang really didn't believe that the other party dared to play dirty tricks.
Soon, we met. Mr. Hua, who has been in the limelight recently, has dark skin, a strong appearance, and is quite magnanimous.
"Director Zhou, I have long admired your name."
The attitude of Mr. Hua was unusually polite: "I have been busy with overseas business these days. I just returned to Haojiang. I heard that you were filming here, so I took the liberty of meeting you."
"Mr. Hua is interested."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said: "I also heard that Mr. Hua's business is very big, but I didn't expect that it has gone overseas."
"Just a few places in poor places in Southeast Asia."
Mr. Hua said with a smile: "Compared to Director Zhou's operation and listing of Mingjie Company, it is not worth mentioning at all."
Nurturing exchanges of pleasantries and business.
Mr. Hua praised Zhou Yutang for being young and promising, and Zhou Yutang praised him for being powerful and wealthy.
Following the rhythm of the entire conversation, Zhou Yutang also understood many situations.
It was just the first time for everyone to meet, and they were not acquaintances. He had not revealed anything, but he knew Tian Ming's background and could accurately name many people.
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that Mr. Hua's connection with the mainland may be deeper than he thought.
As if he felt that the relationship between the two people was gradually getting closer, Mr. Hua spoke more casually: "I know that Director Zhou has spent tens of millions on charity in the Mainland. I really admire him very much. I, Mr. Hua, have always been a root system." Haojiang, my heart is toward the motherland."
You can also be patriotic, right?
Zhou Yutang's face was like a flat lake, and he smiled calmly and said: "Mr. Hua, do you have any advice?"
"I dare not give you advice. I have just established Moon Entertainment Group and plan to join the entertainment industry in the future. If Director Zhou needs funds for a project, just say hello. Mr. Hua is very interested in investing. As long as Director Zhou asks, no matter how big it is, The plate can be eaten by someone like Hua."
Mr. Hua stubbed out the expensive cigar in his hand, puffed out white smoke, and said with a smile that seemed to have a hidden meaning: "Director Zhou is a smart man. He should be able to understand what I mean. This will also be of great benefit to you."
"As for funds, there is no shortage for the time being."
Zhou Yutang was not moved at all, shook his head and chuckled: "Mr. Hua has the funds and connections, and wants to do a project, isn't that easy?"
This guy is also a human being, and he knows that it is taboo to have a casual conversation, so he did not go deep into it. He became more and more enthusiastic at the moment: "How long will Director Zhou stay here in Haojiang?"
"The scene here is almost over, and we're about to switch to the neon scene."
"In this case, there will be a game in my VIP casino tonight."
Mr. Hua waved his hand: "Director Zhou, are you interested in going there to try Haojiang's specialties?"
"It's a little gambling, it's definitely fun and exciting."
"Don't worry, my territory is absolutely private. No reporter will dare to report it. If you win, it's yours. If you lose, it's mine. Let's all be friends."
"Sorry, Mr. Hua."
Zhou Yutang didn't think twice and declined politely: "The crew has been very busy filming recently and doesn't have much time."
A little gambling makes him happy, but he believes more in the saying that if you don't gamble, you will win.
As long as you go to the poker table, you have actually lost.
"Oh, that's such a shame."
After several invitations and invitations, he was not moved at all. Mr. Hua also knew that he was not from the same group, and said with some regret: "I hope I have the opportunity to cooperate with Director Zhou."
"There is a chance!"
Zhou Yutang still entrusted Xu Snake.
Chen Xi sent off Mr. Hua like a god of plague, then turned around and asked, "Mr. Zhou, do we really want to cooperate with him in the future?"
"How can it be."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.
The cash flow in the hands of Mr. Hua is indeed scary, but after all, it cannot be put on the table.
Once it gets on some things, it will cause endless trouble!
……………………
Time flies and it is already September.
Wen Muye has temporarily left the crew, and his first film "Rescue Mr. Wu" will be released soon.
As a director, of course he also has to join the film promotion team.
Many people outside the circle were staring at Wen Muye. This was Zhou Yutang's number one general. He had a bright aura from Jiangdong and should not be underestimated.
It's just that more professionals still look down on Wen Muye.
A well-known film and television expert said: "Zhou Yutang's keenness in controlling the film and television market is truly unparalleled. Wen Muye has been with him for several years, and I don't know how much he has learned about his success."
As far as the current situation is concerned, it is still cautiously optimistic. In September, "Batman 3" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" will strangle each other, and "Prometheus" and "The Expendables 2" will follow each other in September. It is very likely to become a National Day holiday. Cannon fodder in front of the stall. "
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what experts say. Under the new Sino-US film agreement, Hollywood imports blockbusters almost every month.
In order to protect the domestic films released in popular schedules to the maximum extent, Wen Muye inevitably ran into trouble with his first film directed by himself.
Zhou Yutang also attached great importance to Wen Muye's movie, and specifically handed over the filming work to Guo Fan, becoming an extreme special forces soldier.
He flew into the capital to attend the movie premiere to support, then flew back to the set the same day, and personally posted on Weibo to build momentum for Wen Muye.
This year, Su Mang called Zhou Yutang in advance as usual, but Zhou Yutang had to catch up on the filming schedule, so he simply asked Li Shuang to attend in his place.
It's natural to make a donation to show your appreciation. By the way, I also sent the script manuscript of "Love Like a Bouquet" in response to Bazaar's auction of celebrity private collections.
Zhou Yutang was on the crew and didn't pay much attention to the Bazaar Charity Night. By the time he finished editing, it was already late at night.
When I turned on my phone, I saw all kinds of messages and missed calls from Huang Xiaoming, Fan Binbin, Zhang Ruojun and others.
Yang Mi and Tang Yan directly sent the link to the Bazaar Charity Night.
Zhou Yutang clicked in and saw that it was the bidding process for this Harper's Bazaar Charity Night.
The highlight of the entire bidding process was entirely focused on Zhou Yutang's script manuscript of "Love Like a Bouquet."
The starting price was 200,000 yuan. First, Yang Mi and Tang Yan made bids one after another. For some reason, the two best friends got the idea and raised the price all the way to 1 million yuan.
Then Li Yao, a young girl from Jiangdong Entertainment, aggressively shouted out a high price of 1.8 million, which attracted a lot of attention.
Not to be outdone, Li Binbin, one of the double ice players, directly bid 2.2 million.
Another literary and artistic star, Xu Jinglei, refused to give in and directly raised the price to 2.8 million.
This is not over yet.
Teacher Fan deliberately raised the price to 3.8 million to outshine others.
Only a top star like her could have such confidence. Even Teacher Fan probably thought she had a chance to win. She smiled and waved to the camera and was about to get up and go on stage.
As a result, a middle-aged rich woman from a listed company shouted the price to 6 million in a very domineering manner, which shocked everyone.
This price is already quite an astonishing figure. No matter how rich the big shots in the entertainment industry are, they can't compare to rich women worth billions.
I thought Zhou Yutang's manuscript was about to be taken over by a rich woman, but in the end Da Tiantian stepped forward and turned the tide, directly raising the price to 8.88 million.
The whole audience was shocked.
And the rich woman! ?
All eyes on the court were focused on the sweet princess who was wearing the only ES latest season couture dress.
In awe.
To be rich is to be able to do whatever you want.
She is indeed a woman who can spend millions on high-end clothing. Someone said something in the ear of the middle-aged rich woman, and the middle-aged rich woman put down the hand holding the sign.
In the end, it was Jing Tian who filmed the script manuscript.
But there is something even more outrageous. The paintings of Feng Xiaogang and Zeng Fanzhi were bought by Liu Jiang, the boss of the fashion group, for a sky-high price of 17 million yuan.
After understanding the whole story, Zhou Yutang called Da Tiantian that night.
The girl was probably still sleeping. When she answered the phone, she said "hmm" in a daze.
After a few seconds, he gradually regained consciousness and said in surprise: "Brother Yu Tang, why did you call me?"
"What are you doing tonight?"
"Hey, I think it's very collectible."
"Just tell me and I will send it to you directly."
Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead.
"When doing charity, the most important thing is your heart."
Jing Tian's laughter on the other end of the phone was a little sweet: "And this is the original manuscript of Brother Yu Tang's last romance film. It is out of print, and the value may increase in the future."
Da Tiantian is still the little rich woman she once was, without any change.
"How is the progress of "Introduction to Architecture"?"
"I'll have a night's rest, and I'll join the group tomorrow."
"Well, shoot well. If you don't understand anything, just ask the director."
"I will work hard, Brother Yu Tang."
Zhou Yutang asked about the filming situation of "Introduction to Architecture" and said good night to each other before ending the call.
I didn't feel sleepy for a while, and I browsed the online comments about the auction event, which were quite lively.
"You're laughing so hard, Yang Mi and Tang Yan are both stunned."
"Pity me, Yi Bao. I paid more than one million yuan but couldn't get the boss's manuscript."
"I feel sorry for my Binbin. He suffered a lot of bleeding because of Zhou Yutang, but he was robbed in the end. Woo woo woo."
"Am I the only one who thinks that middle-aged rich woman is having an affair with Zhou Yutang?"
"Wucao, a road that I have never thought of, is it really possible?"
"Wake up, Zhou Gou is famous for his facial appearance. It's more reliable to say that Jing Tian had an affair with him."
"Anonymous broke the news that zyt kept the sweet princess, first the Running Man, then "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", and then the "Introduction to Architecture". He is also a shareholder of Starlight. He understands everything."
"."
Yesterday, Liu Yifei was participating in a brand event abroad, and Liu Shishi was also busy on the set of the upcoming Golden Eagle, so they did not attend this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Night.
Zhou Yutang was thinking about giving the manuscript of "Introduction to Architecture" to Jing Tian.
This script was originally prepared together with "Love Like a Bouquet", but Miss Liu chose "Love Like a Bouquet".
hang up the phone.
Jing Tian, who was wearing pajamas, didn't feel sleepy at all. She took the script manuscript and read it under the moonlight and lamplight shining on the bedside.
Maybe it's because the moonlight is particularly bright tonight.
Perhaps it’s because the storyboards of Zhou Yutang’s manuscript are particularly warm and healing.
The corners of Jingtian's mouth unconsciously pursed slightly, drawing a sweet arc.
Money really doesn't matter.
As long as you like it.
