Chapter 524 Shocking scandal, the world makes people grow old
High-end interpersonal relationships often start with the most primitive communication methods.
He is handsome, has a high status, and speaks well. Through the traditional Chinese dinner party, Zhou Yutang and Zhang Manyu quickly became familiar with each other.
After exchanging private numbers, he went back to the Grand Hotel to rest.
On the way back to Beijing the next day, Zhou Yutang continued to write the script of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".
The main thing is to make the overall story outline and character settings.
A gangster killer suddenly wakes up and eliminates three evils.
The three evils in the story are not the dragons and tigers in the allusion, but the "evil" in modern society.
The last harm is to eliminate oneself, thus completing the sublimation of the story's theme.
The overall story structure is clear, and the next step is to fill in the plot details. Zhou Yutang is ready to hand over this work to Jiangdong Entertainment Creation Center.
Ni Ni was also busy along the way.
She is preparing materials needed for the company's project meeting in the second half of the year.
After coming out of the Capital Airport, Zhou Yutang looked up and saw the "Fast Man" billboard on Mango Channel.
This year, Mango Channel's "Where Are We Going, Dad" has seen a decline in ratings, and is still trying to create a talent show. Kuainan has done a lot of advertising and marketing, and invited various celebrities such as Xie Tingfeng, Tao Jingying, and Chen Kun to serve as judges.
Zhou Yutang did not return to the company, but went to find Liu Yifei.
Miss Liu came back from Bay Province last time. She tasted the local specialty pineapple cake and it tasted good, but she forgot to bring it with her.
Knowing that Zhou Yutang had a trip to Bay Province this time, he asked him to bring some with him, preparing for Shu Chang to try it too.
A bowl of water must be leveled, and Ni Ni prepared another portion in Bay Province.
Today, Miss Liu is wearing a sporty style, wearing a white T-shirt and slightly tight sports trousers, which wraps her slender legs.
It's fresh and full of fairy spirit.
As soon as Zhou Yutang arrived, he saw her playing badminton with Shu Chang.
"Ouch, Sissy."
Shu Chang, who was on the opposite side, put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath: "Please take a rest, I can't stand it anymore."
"Let you not exercise normally."
Liu Yifei raised her racket: "Xiao Zhou, come on."
She basically makes sure to exercise for at least an hour every day. Some time ago, she even entered a martial arts class for special training for the filming of "Super Body".
My best friend Shu Chang is just the opposite. She never sits if she can lie down, and never stands if she can sit. She puts comfort first.
Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei were going back and forth, while Shu Chang was sipping juice next to him, scrolling through the news on his phone, and burst out laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
After Liu Yifei exercised, her fair face also turned red, and her sizable curves undulated slightly.
He took a sip of the chilled freshly squeezed juice and handed it to Zhou Yutang.
"Your boss Zhou is in love with Zhang Manyu, haha."
Shu Chang smiled carelessly, earning a look from Liu Yifei, and pulled Zhou Yutang to sit down beside him: "I know, let's just have supper together. The media these days are all reporting on it."
"Is it trending again?"
Zhou Yutang took Shu Chang's cell phone and raised his eyebrows slightly. Sure enough, he saw a photo of himself and Zhang Manyu having supper.
Zhang Manyu just broke up, and the media followed suit and spread rumors that she had moved on to Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang just glanced at it, but didn't take it to heart. He even thought about it and commented: "This paparazzi captured the photo well, but the composition is not that interesting."
"Boss Zhou, how does it feel to have late-night snacks with Zhang Manyu?"
Shu Chang suddenly asked curiously, and Zhou Yutang glanced at her: "How do you feel about having late-night snacks with me?"
"Well, it's cool. You pay for it anyway."
Shu Chang snickered with a little slyness, which made Liu Yifei suddenly speechless and also smiled.
"It was also Zhang Manyu's treat that day."
"Xiao Zhou, is Zhang Manyu really still growing vegetables at home?"
In daily chat, Zhou Yutang told Liu Yifei about this, and she felt it was a bit magical.
Shu Chang was also a little surprised.
It is difficult for her to associate the ceiling of a Chinese actress with growing vegetables at home.
"Then there's still a day off. Last night, you taught me how to grow eggplants at home."
Zhou Yutang felt a little funny when he said it: "If I have a chance to do a leisurely pastoral variety show in the future, I can invite this sister to come and have fun."
"A leisurely pastoral variety show?"
"Well, the pace of life is so fast now, and there is a huge market space for leisure and slow-paced variety shows in the future."
Zhou Yutang chatted with the two girls about variety shows.
In the entertainment industry, except for Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun, there are only a few.
Many people approach him for profit purposes. When they get along with Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, they are relatively simple and pure.
He still quite enjoyed this feeling of getting together with his friends.
Shu Chang pulled Liu Yifei and gossiped: "Zheng Shuang was too bold to speak out during the interview. Doesn't their company even care?"
Amid the scandal between Zhou Yutang and Zhang Manyu, the popular little girl Zheng Shuang was not willing to be left alone and had a major surgery.
In an interview with a variety show, she openly admitted that she had plastic surgery.
The host dared to ask, but she really dared to say it.
When the topic of love came up, she even took the initiative to reveal that she had a crush on Zhou Yutang for a while when she was in college.
Just because I felt that the gap between the two people was too big, I chose to give up, and then Zhang Han
Zhang Han's fans dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. They did not dare to provoke Jiangdong Navy afterwards and ran over to attack Zheng Shuang. Zheng Shuang is now the most popular little actress in the circle and her fans have a strong fighting spirit.
The two families fought one after another and became very angry.
Compared with these two explosive scandals, the heat of Qiu Ze's being stepped on quickly subsided.
A young student from Bay Province who originally had some promise was lost in this vast world of fame and fortune.
As the driving force behind the scenes, Zhou Yutang did not feel any sympathy or pity.
Heroes and heroes often cherish each other, but scumbags and scumbags are definitely mutually exclusive.
"Boss Zhou, is Zheng Shuang really having an affair with you?"
"Today's media is so unscrupulous. I only had dinner with her once, and we could all say we were having an affair."
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a hint of ridicule: "You have eaten so many times with me, how many legs do you and I have to have?"
"I'm going to kill you!"
Shu Chang felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he complained decisively to Liu Yifei: "Qianxi, you can take care of your boss Zhou."
"just kidding."
With such a fuss, Liu Yifei's little emotions disappeared. If she really cared about these scandals, she would not have made such a firm choice in the first place.
Holding Liu Yifei's arm, Shu Chang sounded sympathetic: "However, I think there is nothing wrong with pursuing to make yourself more beautiful. Zheng Shuang dares to admit that she has plastic surgery in front of the media. At least she has the courage."
Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei both looked at Shu Chang.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Shu Chang stroked his hair with some guilt.
Zhou Yutang could somewhat understand Shu Chang's thoughts.
She was beautiful when she was a child, but when she grew up in the entertainment industry where beauties are everywhere, she became less outstanding.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and there is nothing wrong with girls wanting to become more beautiful.
But plastic surgery is very risky for actors. Just like Sister Zhou from the film school, she was a failure.
After plastic surgery, her acting career was ruined.
His eyes met with Liu Yifei's, as if they had a clear understanding of each other. No need to say anything, Zhou Yutang asked: "Changchang, what are your plans for the future?"
"I never thought about it."
Shu Chang shook his head in confusion: "There are dramas after dramas, so I'm sure I won't starve to death."
Zhou Yutang said seriously: "If you want to go further as an actor in the future, don't go for plastic surgery. The natural state is the best."
Hongxingwu is similar in nature to Starlight, but it only serves Liu Yifei alone.
However, he signed Shu Chang and took over her brokerage business.
She only became popular in "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" this year, and with Zhou Yutang here, she will definitely have no shortage of roles.
"Changchang, I think you look very good now."
Liu Yifei also held Shu Chang's arm and sent her heart-warming messages.
"Well, I understand."
Shu Chang was slightly startled when he saw Zhou Yutang's expression was rarely serious, and then nodded.
Playing is about playing, making trouble is about making trouble.
He often jokes with Zhou Yutang, but Shu Chang is actually trying to balance his relationship with Liu Yifei in his own way.
In fact, in her heart, she sincerely admires her achievements.
Zhou Yutang's image is also quite tall.
After exercising with the two girls during the day, we took a shower, and in the evening we went to watch "Pacific Rim" in our movie theater together.
This imported Hollywood blockbuster is about to be released at this time, and the mainland box office has reached 685 million.
If it hadn't been for the sudden rise of "Sha Po Lang 2", it would have basically locked up the throne of this summer's king.
After watching the movie, Bulb Shu Chang was sent home by the driver. It is our duty as monks to devote ourselves to the path of immortality.
Zhou Yutang felt that Liu Yifei had been in a bad mood since the afternoon, so he rubbed his fingers on her soft shoulders.
Finally, Liu Yifei moved slightly in her arms, and Zhou Yutang seemed to know that she had something to say,
"Want it?"
"I want you to be a big-headed ghost."
The blush on Liu Yifei's crystal-white ears became thicker and thicker. She turned around and looked directly at Zhou Yutang, her voice full of coquettishness: "Xiao Zhou, I want to ask you a question."
"Well, you say."
Zhou Yutang also stared at that little face that he never got tired of, with a smile in his voice.
"It's like this. Mom said that Godfather is using his connections to launch a Hollywood project. Let me ask your opinion."
After listening to Liu Yifei's muttering, Zhou Yutang finally understood the reason why her mood was not right.
"Let me ask first."
When I called Bob, it was night here and daytime there.
The old wall lamp's work efficiency was as fast as ever, and Zhou Yutang quickly got the specific information about the project:
"The script of this play was first completed at the end of 1999. It was later renamed "Ode to Arken". It tells the story of Viking warriors. The story is an Italian-style western action film that takes place in Northambrand, England, in the early 11th century. ”
"In 2005, the producer Jeremy Bolt, who was making movies in China, the same one who worked on Resident Evil, suddenly came up with the idea of making this movie. Later, the investment was never in place."
"The script was changed to "The Pale Warrior," and this year we finally got Chinese investment, and the script was changed to "Escape." It's about the collision of Eastern and Western cultures. Does it sound familiar?"
Zhou Yutang's obviously gentle but not serious tone successfully reminded Liu Yifei of "The King of Kung Fu", and she pinched Zhou Yutang's waist in annoyance.
This was her first big fall, and she will never forget it in her life.
However, it was precisely because of her experiences during that time that the distance between her and Zhou Yutang became closer, and she felt less uncomfortable when she thought about it.
The amount of information Zhou Yutang gave was a bit overwhelming. Liu Yifei was confused and was still digesting it. Zhou Yutang made a very rude comment: "Whoever takes over is a fool."
After he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the handle and took a breath of cold air.
"You are a fool."
"Yes, I'm a fool."
Zhou Yutang retreated decisively: "What did Aunt Liu say?"
"She is more inclined to take it. After all, projects in Hollywood are rare, but I want to ask your opinion."
As expected of you, Aunt Liu!
Zhou Yutang twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, held Liu Yifei's fair and delicate waist, and said seriously: "Sometimes, you have to know how to say no."
"Um."
Quietness flowed in the air. Liu Yifei rested her head on Zhou Yutang's chest, as if her own heartbeat was resonating with his, and murmured:
"Xiao Zhou, I will listen to you."
"I heard that Mr. Zhou has done a lot of business in recent years?"
In a high-end cafe in Beijing, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean trend was sitting on a soft sofa, his legs raised casually, and he turned to ask the assistant next to him.
This female assistant, who is about forty years old, has a mediocre appearance, but is somewhat capable: "Mr. Chen, he is mainly involved in the entertainment industry. He may be more powerful than imagined."
Mr. Chen took a sip of a cup of coffee, picked up one of the several background information that the female secretary had placed on the table, and flipped through it.
After reading the first copy, he lowered his legs and sat upright.
Looking at the second copy, the coffee cup in Mr. Chen's hand has also been put down.
Tens of billions of net worth, or a conservative estimate?
How can this be?
After reading it several times, a complex and dignified look gradually appeared on Old Chen's face.
Zhou Yutang answered the phone with a relaxed expression.
Use fluent English to communicate with Bob, the old wall lamp.
The division of "Annabelle" is in the process and may have to wait for a while, but preparations for the sequel to "The Purge" are going very smoothly.
The two were chatting and laughing, but Aunt Liu and her daughter in the back seat looked a little worried.
Zhou Yutang has always been careful and considerate in his work. Considering that Aunt Liu might not be a good person, he took the initiative to meet Mr. Chen.
Ni Ni glanced at the mother and daughter, then lowered her head and continued to sort out the materials for the company meeting.
The sun in the capital city in August is particularly poisonous. The asphalt road is so hot that it seems to be burning. The cicadas on the treetops on the roadside are singing hoarsely and endlessly.
Mr. Chen, who had stood at the door to greet him in advance, finally met the prestigious young man.
After getting off the car, he turned his head and said something, which angered Liu Yifei for some reason. He hit Zhou Yutang with his small fist and glared at him.
Aunt Liu, who was wearing a floral dress, scolded her daughter softly, but there was a smile on her face.
Lao Chen suddenly felt that even the air-conditioning in the store could not block the summer heat, and sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
When they met, Aunt Liu introduced them, and Zhou Yutang and Chen Jingfei briefly greeted each other, unable to avoid looking at each other.
The Polo shirt was tucked into the waistband of his pants and stubbornly covered his protruding belly. The watch on his wrist was shining. Like many middle-aged uncles, Mr. Chen's hairline was a bit severely receded.
However, it can be seen from his temperament that he is definitely used to living a pampered life.
Oh, ordinary young people.
That is, a little bit more handsome, a little bit more talented, a little bit richer
Mr. Chen was polite and looked down on others, but in fact he felt a little sad.
After leading people to sit down.
The secretary beside him brought the coffee and snacks ordered in advance and led Ni Ni out, leaving the space in the box for a few people.
Chen Jingfei was the first to speak and broke the calm: "Mr. Zhou is really young and promising."
"Not as mature and steady as Mr. Chen."
"."
This is not the first time that Liu Yifei has heard Zhou Yutang exchanging business bragging rights with others.
Those pair of clear autumn eyes slipped back and forth on Zhou Yutang's body.
At this time, Zhou Yutang also had a nice smile, but something was wrong, like a little fox, which was completely different from when he usually got along with him.
"Xiaoli, what do you think of this project?"
Chen Jingfei turned to Aunt Liu and said: "Hollywood's top team, this opportunity is rare."
To be able to bring his business to such a scale, Lao Chen undoubtedly has his own merits.
The painting of this pie was so tempting that even Aunt Liu nodded unconsciously, but after her eyes lingered on her daughter and Zhou Yutang, she quickly shook her head slightly:
"Old Chen, I don't care about the company's affairs now, I just listen to Sissy."
When Chen Jingfei heard this, his eyelids twitched slightly.
He suddenly discovered that a lot of things seemed to have happened during his absence.
Liu Xiaoli, who used to promise herself to arrange everything for Liu Yifei, has also changed a lot.
Chen Jingfei then turned to Liu Yifei and asked: "Qian Qian, what do you think?"
Liu Yifei glanced at Zhou Yutang, raised her head and said seriously: "Uncle Chen, I think if you put yourself in the perspective of the audience, the first thing is that this story is not attractive enough. The investment has not been in place for so many years, which also shows that the future of the project is not clear. ."
Oops, no, it seems I memorized it wrongly!
Retelling what Xiao Zhou said, I forgot a sentence somewhere in the middle.
However, Liu Yifei's clear eyes clearly conveyed the meaning of rejection.
Chen Jingfei opened his mouth with a complicated expression.
But he quickly found the crux of the problem, and turned to ask Zhou Yutang: "I heard Xiaoli say that Mr. Zhou is helping to look after Hongxingwu now?"
"I'm just giving some advice to Aunt Liu and Sissi."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled: "They still make the final decision themselves. The company has a professional team operating it."
"Mr. Zhou, are you interested in this project? I can leave it to you to run it. We will join forces. When the time comes..."
When he finished drawing the cake, Zhou Yutang remained unmoved, with a calm face and a calm smile: "Mr. Chen, although I don't know where you came into contact with this project, I don't have much interest here."
"I think the pattern needs to be bigger. With Nicolas Cage, the Oscar winner, and Hayden Christensen, another popular Hollywood movie star, when the global channels are rolled out, there will definitely be a lot of profit space, whether it is It will be of great benefit to you and Sissi's development." Old Chen said with spittle flying around.
"Mr. Chen, forget about this project."
Zhou Yutang stood up and shook hands with Lao Chen politely: "I have something else to do, and I hope we can cooperate in the future."
When Miss Liu entered this circle, she had followed a well-trodden path. Even though Zhou Yutang refused, she was still very tactful and polite.
But that's just polite. In fact, this is the same as "next time", there will never be a next time.
Here we are today.
Chen Jingfei no longer had enough chips to take Yu Tang's ship last week.
In this vanity fair, it is still the exchange of resources and interests after all.
Chen Jingfei's connections, funds and channels did not attract Zhou Yutang in any way.
If he wanted to manage the six major Hollywood film projects, it would not be difficult. How could he fall in love with such a rubbish project?
The setting sun slanted in through the glass window and shone on Chen Jingfei's face.
Lao Chen looked at Zhou Yutang's tall and straight back with some reluctance as he got into the car with the mother and daughter and left, as if he had suddenly passed a stage in his life.
He sighed suddenly.
This arena.
It is no longer the world where he once dominated the world.
Life must go on.
Zhou Yutang's main energy continues to be devoted to the later stages of the film.
That day, I was finishing a post-stage summary meeting with the special effects team when I heard the news about Ni Ni and Master Han arrived.
"Old Han, why are you here?"
The only person who can call Han Sanping so carelessly is probably his precious daughter.
"When you work, you have to address your duties. What are you doing here?"
Han Sanping's face sank and he walked over with his hands behind his back.
The majesty and aura of the head of China Film Group was clearly displayed. Ni Ni turned around and went out, closing the door behind her. She didn't dare to watch the excitement of the mountain eagle.
"I'm running errands for Director Zhou."
Han Jia'v shrank her head and smiled: "Director Han, you are welcome to guide the work. I will pour you tea."
Our daughter is sensible!
Han Sanping nodded with satisfaction.
When I took the tea cup and took a sip, it felt wrong.
Why does it taste exactly the same as the Anxi top-quality Tieguanyin that I keep at home?
"Director Han."
Facing Han Sanping's suspicious gaze, Han Jianu admitted frankly: "I saw that Director Zhou likes tea, so I brought some to him."
"Alas."
Han Sanping pointed his fingers and sighed helplessly.
They say that a daughter is an old father’s little cotton-padded jacket, but my own cotton-padded jacket seems to have some air leakage.
Putting aside the silly music, Han Sanping had a sullen face, gave his daughter Han a few words of education, and went straight to Zhou Yutang: "Yu Tang, this girl is so shameless, she has caused you trouble."
"Where is it?"
Zhou Yutang laughed softly and said: "Sister Jia is one of our own and has helped a lot."
One thing to say, apart from being a member of the crew, Han Jia'v is also a graduate student at the film school, so she will definitely be an executive director.
Moreover, she is very aware of being a pendant and adheres to the principle of seeing more, doing more, asking more and talking less.
"Director Han, I heard that "Tai Ping Wheel" has been started?"
"I just came back from there and just turned on the phone."
Han Sanping drank tea and breathed a sigh of relief: "The later stage of "In the Name of the People" went very smoothly. According to this progress, it will be released in the beginning of the new year. The burden on me can finally be relieved."
"Yu Tang, after you finish your work here, I will take you to meet the person who will take over."
Feeling sad that the world is driving people to old age, Zhou Yutang couldn't help but sit up straight: "Director Han, why is it so sudden?"
He thought of something. According to the regulations within the system, Han Sanping's term was probably less than half a year left.
But many things require a slow transition and handover.
"I'm old, it's time to retire."
Han Sanping narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You should call me Mr. Han, I'm used to it."
"Who will take over?"
"You know him too."
Han Sanping leaned over and whispered: "Don't tell anyone outside yet, who is it?"
