Chapter 530: Gambling capital, entertainment industry is flat

Chapter 530: Gambling capital, entertainment industry is flat

Late September.

Beijing.

Student Milk Tea Zhou had just finished filming "Charlotte's Trouble". There was an announcement in the capital, so she stopped by the Jiangdong Building to have a look.

He had his hands in his pockets, he was cool and cool, and he didn't know who his opponent was.

"I haven't seen you for a while."

It wasn't until he met Zhou Yutang that a smile appeared on his face. He stepped forward to bump fists with Zhou Yutang and raised his eyebrows: "The front desk of your company is my fan."

"They're fans of a lot of people."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly.

These two local eldest ladies in the capital are his die-hard fans.

I was really big-hearted and had no ambitions. After graduation, I came to Jiangdong to work as a receptionist.

In addition to Zhou Yutang, stars such as Zeng Li, Zhang Songwen, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruojun, Li Yao, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Zhao Liying have all taken photos together.

Zhou Xun, Liu Yifei, Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and others who often come to Jiangdong Building were also spared.

Now these two girls are quite famous on the Internet, and many people know that they are the mascots of Kodong.

I took Jay Chou around the company, but I didn't expect that he was quite interested in Vision Media.

After satisfying his curiosity and answering various questions, the two sat and chatted in Zhou Yutang's office.

"The movie "Charlotte" is quite funny."

Jay Chou sat on the sofa and asked, "When are you going to start working on "Now You See Me 2"?"

His praise of "Charlotte" was just a polite word. After all, this kind of cast is really shabby.

What he really remembers is the sequel to "Now You See Me", which is the highest box office record for Chinese movies. It is also a magic-themed movie that he has longed for, and he will be one of the starring actors.

"The script is still being worked on, probably next year at the latest."

Zhou Yutang took out the semi-finished script, and Zhou Jielun looked at it very seriously. He pulled Zhou Yutang and talked about his opinions and ideas with great interest:

"I thought of a few ideas, they are definitely cool enough"

Milk Tea Zhou has a heart to be a director.

I made a Chinese musical film "Rooftop Love", which even made 107 million yuan at the mainland box office during this summer's summer release.

After hearing him talk endlessly about his thoughts, Zhou Yutang said with approval: "Oh, that's good."

"Gan, why are you imitating my speech?"

"By the way, last week you had a party in Xiangjiang to choose a concubine. Is it true?"

"."

Classmate Milk Tea Zhou raised her middle finger in response.

It is not easy for Kunling to become the Queen's Wife. Jay Chou has not officially acknowledged her in front of the media.

Mao Xiaoyu was on the front line of eating melons and knew all about it. When chatting with Ni Ni, he mentioned a name.

Zhou Yutang remembered it immediately.

On the night of the concubine selection, there was Su Zixian with 32D strength.

In fact, Jay Chou is not as good at time management as Luo Xiaozhu, but he is quite good at playing in private.

Few people know that Yang Ying, a young model who did not succeed in transformation, worked as a backup dancer for him in his concerts.

Classmate Milk Tea Zhou also took her to shoot a Metersbonwe commercial.

I even wrote a song for Tianbao last year.

It was a rare encounter between the two, and they had a pleasant exchange.

Assistant Dani, who came with Jay Chou, was also chatting enthusiastically with Ni Ni.

At first glance.

Ni Ni's very recognizable face is certainly not the most beautiful face.

But the amorous feelings she showed in her gestures, her fair and slender legs crossed over each other, were intellectually elegant and somewhat charming.

Even Dani, who is a woman, felt very feminine and couldn't help but praise: "Ni Ni, you are so beautiful, you should develop in the entertainment industry, how come you think of being an assistant to Director Zhou?"

"I can't survive in the entertainment industry."

Ni Ni made a joke.

"No way."

Dani was shocked.

Is domestic entertainment so in dire straits?

Even such a beautiful woman can't survive.

"Actually, I think that in the entertainment industry, you can't help yourself. Sometimes you have to do a lot of troublesome things, such as dealing with directors and producers, and you may have to drink and socialize."

Ni Ni smiled and said: "Now my job is very easy and simple, and I make a lot of money."

Working as an assistant to Zhou Yutang, not counting the benefits, he would earn at least one million a year.

There are also invisible benefits such as the accumulation of connections and future development.

"That's true."

Dani nodded, also feeling the same, and said sincerely: "Your boss is really nice to the people around him."

Jay Chou treats her well, but compared to Jiangdong Entertainment, Jay Will is not of the same stature after all.

Because of my relationship with Mao Xiaoyu's best friend, I often chat in private and know about Mao Xiaoyu's development.

Mao Xiaoyu now owns shares in Jiangdong Entertainment, and she is considered to be the top rich woman in the entertainment industry. All the celebrities are vying to please her, and she is full of cards.

After Jay Chou finished his guest appearance, the filming of "Charlotte" was almost finished, and the crew transferred to Sanya.

It was there that we filmed the story of flying an eagle party on Charlotte's yacht, and then meeting Yuan Hua, the tidal sea spirit, at sea.

Damimi specially sent private swimsuit photos to Zhou Yutang.

She didn't have too many scenes, but she did give herself a half-day vacation. She had a great time surfing there, and she also posted on Weibo to make the bees smile.

However, one learns from adversity.

What can be sent out are serious photos taken by professional photographers that slightly reveal the figure.

Some selfies that are too large and private can only be seen by Damimi’s top brother.

"Would you like to build a yacht for fun?"

Zhou Yutang looked at Da Mimi's private photos and found that she really had a great advantage.

He really thought about it.

Uncle Liu Huang once said that after fighting for such a long time, why can't we just enjoy it?

Now the Jiangdong company is developing steadily, and even if he leaves for a while, it can still maintain operations.

This year, Zhou Yutang's S+ project has not even been launched yet, and he is already full of food.

This is on the premise that he gave up some of his interests.

Boss Xu has a song and dance troupe.

The Grand Governor of Jiangdong also has the Crown Girl Group.

When the time comes, it will be a happy event to party on the yacht and dance with beautiful women.

"Why haven't you replied? You must be fascinated by me."

Yang Mi, who was still waiting for a reply, smiled proudly.

She is still very confident in her figure and beauty.

As long as Tianxian and Yijie don't show up, who dares to compete with me, Damimi?

After a while, Zhou Yutang adjusted his sitting posture slightly and criticized Damimi's behavior, and Teacher Fan's phone call came in.

Recently, Zhou Yutang always feels that something is not quite right with Teacher Fan.

She contacted him too frequently, and asked him questions from time to time, and cared about his life, as if she wanted to become a positive person.

The scumbag's intuition is always very accurate.

Teacher Fan really had this idea.

The longer the contact lasted, the more she admired this man.

He even lowered his bottom line of emotional expectations.

If Zhou Yutang nods and agrees, he will firmly sit in the palace.

Then he can turn a blind eye to his confidante outside.

According to Teacher Fan's experience in the world, men still need a warm haven after all. No matter how much he spends playing outside, he will definitely get tired.

When the time comes, they will return to family life like a tired bird returning to its nest.

But this was just a beautiful imagination after all, and Zhou Yutang didn't give her much chance.

His main focus was still on the post-production of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". He also had to communicate with Lu Wei and Lin Liang about the preparations for the "Red Ling" project, and he had no time to chat with Teacher Fan at all.

The beautiful reverie was shattered in an instant, and Teacher Fan returned to reality. Although she was a little regretful, she was still very happy.

The total box office of "Beijing Meets Seattle" reached 588 million, with only a few hundred thousand left in the single day.

Although the box office data is still growing slowly, and it is no longer possible to hit 600 million, it still has a firm hold on the head of her rival International Zhang.

Even though Zhang Ziyi is a big enough celebrity, she has been around in Hollywood.

But after she returned to China, the box office of all the movies she starred in together was not enough to beat Teacher Fan.

Of course Teacher Fan is happy, and Zhou Yutang is even happier than her.

In terms of the production cost of this movie of 30 million yuan, it achieved a box office return of nearly 20 times!

This is already a perfect answer.

"Yu Tang, have you heard about Huayi's acquisition of Guoli Film and Television?"

"heard."

"Why aren't you excited at all?"

Yang Mi's voice was full of envy: "More than two hundred million!"

"What happened to more than two hundred million?"

Zhou Yutang said in a calm tone: "You should film well. This is Deng Chao's first film as a director, so please be a little more careful."

After finishing filming of "Charlotte Trouble", Damimi seamlessly joined Deng Chao's "The Breakup Master". The schedule of top actresses in the industry is so tight.

"I'm just asking."

Yang Mi turned on the coquettish mode.

Usually Liu Shishi talks about food the most.

Liu Yifei was participating in Paris Fashion Week recently. She couldn't sleep all day long and was in a daze.

Only Damimi is extremely interested in these things.

Even during the intense and busy filming process, I was still supplementing my knowledge about the company's operations.

Huayi spent 252 million to acquire 70% of Zhang Guoli’s Zhejiang Changsheng Film and Television Production Company.

Zhang Guoli will purchase the stocks held by Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, the actual controllers of Huayi Brothers, for 216 million yuan and lock them in for three years.

The acquisition also came with a gambling contract.

He has to ensure that Chang Sheng Film and Television’s net profit after tax this year will not be less than 30 million.

In the next few years, the annual after-tax net profit target will be based on the net profit target of the previous year and will increase according to the agreed proportion in the agreement.

"Hua Yi is so rich."

The calculations in Yang Mi's heart were rattling.

"You only saw the thief eating meat, but you didn't see the thief being beaten."

"Didn't Zhang Guoli make a lot of money after all this time?"

"We'll see again in a few years."

Zhou Yutang smiled and reminded Yang Mi: "The entertainment industry is betting against capital, and few can succeed."

He gave Damimi advice, but he didn't know if she listened.

Of course, Huayi also has more advanced ways to play, but Zhou Yutang didn't mention it.

The current level of Damimi is too low, so you can’t even touch it.

Many outsiders don't know that Wang and Xiaowang have used various means to cash out at least several hundred million from Huayi in the past two years.

But the size of Huayi Company has basically remained unchanged.

After the news of this acquisition came out, the lovely leeks took the lead in the charge. Huayi's stock price opened at the daily limit, reaching 62 yuan.

The entry of capital has indeed brought a great impact to the entire entertainment industry.

Entertainment companies are all trying to attract capital and then go public.

After a set of operations, when listed on the market, and with sufficient projects, the company's stock price will skyrocket.

Baldy Xu hooked up with Zhao Yanzi and Ali and bought out the "囧" series at a premium, just for this reason.

Zhou Yutang thought for a while and called Zhang Guoli.

"Uncle Zhang..."

"Yu Tang, you want to ask about that?"

He didn't even speak, but Zhang Guoli responded with a smile: "It's been decided."

"Uncle Zhang, gambling is a bit risky." Zhou Yutang said tactfully.

"Haha, I am 65 years old this year. I am no more energetic and capable than you young people. If I work for a few more years, I will almost be able to retire."

Zhang Guoli, who was chattering away, sounded depressed.

Zhou Yutang was silent, speechless.

After making the call, Zhang Guoli got up from the bed and sat alone at night.

Deng Jie, who was beside her, kept listening with her ears pricked up, and couldn't wait to pull Zhang Guoli's arm: "Old Zhang, what's Yu Tang's phone number?"

"Um."

"Then he has discussed cooperation with you?"

"What about cooperation?"

Zhang Guoli sighed: "He works on his projects, and I also have my own projects."

Who are Zhou Yutang’s current collaborators?

China Film, Shanghai Film, Wanda, Guangguang, Yinghuang.

If you want money and have money, if you want power and power, the entire entertainment industry will be flat!

Huayi has done so much public relations, but he is not even qualified to serve on the table, let alone himself.

"Then can you let him take care of the little black dog?" Deng Jie asked.

"Your son is so promising."

Zhang Guoli glared and scolded: "How can I say this?"

"If he has no future, he is still your son!"

Deng Jie had played Wang Xifeng back then. Her eyebrows stood up and she immediately choked back.

The couple glared at each other, but Zhang Guoli finally gave in.

Marry a lady from Sichuan and Chongqing and enjoy it in silence.

If you want to blame, just blame your own son for not living up to expectations.

If he takes the right path, even if he shows off his old face, he will hug Zhou Yutang's thigh and let his son be a pendant.

Don't talk about being popular by then, the future will definitely be fine.

But since that incident, Zhang Guoli had vaguely tested Zhou Yutang's tone and knew his attitude, so he never mentioned letting him take care of Zhang Heiquan again, so as not to hurt their relationship.

They are all foxes for thousands of years, everyone knows it.

He had made tens of millions of dollars in profit from his kindness to support Zhou Yutang in the first place, and he had repaid it long ago, and he didn't owe himself anything.

The gap between the two people is too big now.

Zhou Yutang called him Uncle Zhang because of his old friendship.

Deng Jie, Lao Zhang and his wife looked at each other and sighed together.

How could Xiao Zhou, who came home to pay New Year greetings, climb so fast and stand so high?

…………

"The whole nation has witnessed the Silver Gun Bully case. The trial is imminent. Justice will be late, but it will not be absent!"

"The movie "Witness" was released for 10 days, with a total box office of 265 million, making it the first shot of the National Day holiday."

As the National Day approaches, the Film Bureau released a set of official statistics. This year’s number of screens, as well as the entire movie market, have increased significantly compared to last year.

This shows what?

The Chinese film market is getting better and better, and the big directors in the industry are also taking action collectively.

Suddenly, there was a storm.

Xiaogangpao's "Private Customization" has been completed, and even the domineering slogan has been released in advance: "Sweeping through the Lunar New Year festival, whoever stops the other will be destroyed."

The launch press conference for Lao Mouzi's "The Return" was held in a low-key manner. Liu Shishi just finished filming on "Godzilla" and returned to China to shoot the cover of a fashion magazine, and then joined the cast.

Jiang Wen, who has just returned from Venice, has launched the second part of the Republic of China trilogy "One Step Away" after "Let the Bullets Fly", which has caused a sensation in the entire film and television industry.

Wu Baige also started sailing on the Eastern Titanic.

Brother Chen Kai is even more high-profile. He is an attendee at this year's Tokyo International Film Festival.

He is still in Tokyo, but his studio released high-profile news:

Director Chen's next film is a film of the same name based on Xu Haofeng's novel "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain". It is planned to cast Zhou Yutang as the male lead, and the female lead may be Jiangdong's first sister Zeng Li!

The news began to spread wildly on the Internet, and Zhou Yutang instantly became the center of media competition.

"I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Tokyo, Brother Chen Kai stood by the window and sighed.

The neon moonlight tonight was beautiful, so beautiful that it made him want to recite a moving poem.

Unfortunately, the cooperation invitation just sent to Zhou Yutang's management team was ruthlessly rejected, which made his interest suddenly fade.

"Brother Kai, forget it."

Chen Hong, the former most beautiful woman in the entertainment industry, gently rubbed her husband's shoulders and whispered softly:

"He has a very busy schedule there. Zeng Li seems to be recording variety shows abroad and has other arrangements at the end of the year."

"The circle is so big, we always have other options."

Mrs. Chen spoke in a very organized manner: "Let's do this. I'll let the studio send out trial notices first, and then you can use whoever you think is suitable. How about that?"

"That's all we have to do."

Brother Chen Kai patted the back of his wife's hand and smiled slightly: "I dare not disobey my wife's words."

"Virtue!"

Chen Hong liked Brother Kai the most. She always felt that he was filled with a scholarly and elegant temperament. She held his head in her arms and chuckled:

"It is still necessary to have a good relationship with Zhou Yutang."

"Jiang Dong has become big. Now, whoever he wants to support can become famous. In the future, Arthur may even ask him for help when he enters this circle."

"Sister Li, I helped you recommend Poet Chen's play."

After answering Zeng Li's video call and seeing the flawless pretty face of the beauty in green, Zhou Yutang's lips curved slightly.

"Well, I told Chen Hong too."

"At the end of the year, leave your schedule for "Chi Ling"."

"Is "Chi Ling" ready?"

Zeng Li's eyes lit up, with some surprise and some expectation.

"Well, Lin Liang's place has been chosen."

"When will it be turned on?"

"The end of October at the latest."

For the play "Chi Ling", Zhou Yutang not only worked on the film's post-production period, but also took part of his time to receive training from Kunqu opera masters.

In the era of capital, money leads the way, so this matter is easy.

With Zhou Yutang's looks, it would be no problem to perform with a sense of elegance and elegance.

But the key is the manners presented by the characters in the play. There are many details that need to be resolved through professional training.

"Li Yan, haven't you made any announcements recently?"

"Boss, at the end of the year, I asked Sister Fang to stop taking roles for me and practice with you."

Li Yao's smile was as peaceful and gentle as ever: "Actually, I quite miss this kind of life before."

"Have you always come here like this before?"

"Yeah, I used to go to school, and I signed up for an opera class."

"Then you won the Golden Flower Award at the Children's Drama Little Plum Blossom Show?"

Zhou Yutang sweated slightly when he heard this.

The Children's Opera Little Plum Blossom Collection was established to cultivate reserve talents for the inheritance and development of Chinese opera art. It also represents the highest level of Chinese children's opera.

Li Yao has been attending extracurricular interest classes for two years. He was able to win this award because of his talent.

Thinking that he had lured Kunqu Opera's future bestie into the entertainment industry, Zhou Yutang suddenly felt guilty.

But having Li Yao as a sparring partner can give him a lot of useful advice.

Time has entered the end of September.

After Zhou Yutang received the invitation, he took time to attend the premiere of "Detective Dee: The Dragon King of the Dragon King".

On the way, I didn't forget to listen to Zou Zhongyan's report on the work in Hollywood, "Yu Tang, the director candidate and audition information for "Fifty Shades of Grey" have been sent to your email."

"no problem."

Zhou Yutang took the laptop that Ni Ni opened and took a casual look at it.

Sam Taylor-Johnson is a well-known female director who has won awards at many film festivals.

Chen Xi was also very careful in his work and fed back the detailed audition process.

"There is also something wrong with the filming of "The Purge 2". The actor fell off the car and injured his bones. It is estimated that the filming progress will be delayed for a while."

"Unlucky enough."

"We are still working on the post-production of "Super Body", and "Dallas Buyers Club" is very promising to win awards. Harvey wants to meet with you to discuss it in detail. You'd better come over then."

"I'll be there in a few days."

After ending the call with Zou Zhongyan, Zhou Yutang suddenly remembered another thing.

The JDG team he runs has reached the global finals, and together with RNG, represents the Chinese division in the World Championship.

It seems that the record is very good, all the way to the finals.

Zhou Yutang pressed his forehead and asked sideways: "Nini, when will the League of Legends S finals be held this year?"

"October 5th, in Los Angeles."

"Tell the JDG team manager that I will be there when the time comes."
