Chapter 532: Fair Price, Ambition and Chi Ling
"Congratulations to the jdg team for reaching the top and winning the S3 world championship!"
"Dark forces are sweeping across Luo City and creating myths!"
"Zhou Yutang came to the scene to supervise the battle, passionately hugged the players and held the trophy in hand!"
"Create the Jiangdong Dynasty and become the first world champion of LPL!"
The news of JDG winning the championship was like a passing hurricane. Domestic Weibo and some other forums have completely exploded.
"The era of WE has passed. Wang Xiaocong can play as a model and Internet celebrity. However, it depends on Zhou Yutang to integrate Chinese e-sports."
"I had always been indifferent to Zhou Yutang, but later I became a fan."
"JDG was just established this year. It went straight to the bottom and is invincible."
“It’s a great time to spend this National Day. I must support Zhou Yutang’s movies in the future!”
"There are only two words to express my current mood, hold the grass, beep!"
"Me too!"
From the perspective of social psychological communication laws, the emergence of positive energy events will trigger strong resonance in society.
Because positive energy events have a psychological empowering effect.
As the most popular competitive game at the moment, League of Legends has a strong influence among young people.
JDG reached the top and became king in Los Angeles.
It is a carnival that belongs to this generation of young people.
Internet cafes in major cities across the country are filled with cries of "holding the grass" and "niu beeping".
The computer screens lined up in rows were almost as uniform as those in the computer class, and they were all live broadcast pages of JDG winning the championship.
Universities across the country are also starting to get excited, and everyone’s Moments are frantically scrolling.
In fact, there are many people who have never played League of Legends and don’t know what JDG is, but their friends around them are discussing it.
After knowing that it was the team of Marshal Bizhou Yutang, it suddenly dawned on me - who hasn't seen one or two Jiangdong-style film and television works?
Driven by curiosity, after learning about the miraculous victory of the JDG team, I immediately became excited and started following the trend.
Jingdong reacted quickly and launched a series of discount promotions to celebrate JDG’s victory and give back to consumers. With Zhou Yutang’s relationship with Brother Dong, it was easy to get Jingdong’s sponsorship.
"Yu Tang, the data department reported that Jingdong's traffic has skyrocketed in the past two days, and they are basically young customers."
Brother Dong's call came in quickly, his voice full of surprise.
"Congratulations to Brother Dong."
Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "This championship is just the beginning. There will be more and more championships in the future."
"Are you still here in America?"
Brother Dong laughed.
For Zhou Yutang's sake, he made a small investment of several million. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. The advertising effect brought about by winning this championship must be more than a few million.
"I've been in Los Angeles these two days."
Zhou Yutang gave the team a holiday, but he still had something to discuss: "Brother Dong, are you here too?"
"Then you wait for me in Luo City."
Most of a day later, Zhou Yutang saw Brother Dong with a strange expression.
Because Brother Dong has a beautiful girl with him, and he has met him several times.
When the milk tea girl saw Zhou Yutang, she smiled and said, "Director Zhou, long time no see. Congratulations to the jdg team for winning the championship."
"Yu Tang, Xiaotian is your fan."
Brother Dong felt that Zhou Yutang's eyes were a little weird, coughed lightly and explained: "We are friends."
Ni Ni thought these words sounded familiar.
Zhou Yutang seems to have said this to many female celebrities.
She originally thought that Brother Dong, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was an honest and motivated entrepreneur.
Unexpectedly, Brother Dong is also very good at playing.
And that's exactly what happened.
Jingdong's "Jing" is taken from his ex-wife's name.
There is also a female director in the company who also has a close relationship with Brother Dong.
Zhou Yutang found out after chatting with the two for a while.
This year, Sister Milk Tea participated in an exchange program at Barnard College in New York, which is an affiliated school of Columbia University. At this time, Brother Dong was also studying at Columbia University.
Fate, wonderful beyond words.
One is as beautiful as a flower and admires her wholeheartedly, while the other is successful in career and loves life.
It's like two magnets, attracting each other.
Meeting old friends in a foreign country never brings tears to the eyes, but there is always a rare sense of closeness, so we made an appointment to have a meal at a high-end restaurant in Los Angeles.
During the dinner, Zhou Yutang observed secretly and knew what was going on.
Even if the two of them don't have that kind of relationship yet, they definitely have a little ambiguity.
After dinner, before Brother Dong could finish chatting, he found another bar.
The milk tea girl is very discerning. When she heard Brother Dong and Zhou Yutang discussing business matters, she and Ni Ni went to the side to chat.
"Yu Tang, how long will you stay here?"
"Maybe it will take a few days. There will be a few cocktail parties. If Brother Dong is interested, come over and introduce some friends to you."
"Okay, it's an eye-opener."
Brother Dong readily agreed.
The next day was a private reception hosted by Bob.
Zhou Yutang brought Ni Ni, but Brother Dong didn't bring milk tea.
He felt that this kind of flashy vanity fair was not suitable for an innocent schoolgirl like Milk Tea.
The melodious and elegant music seemed to have a luxurious atmosphere floating in the air.
Scarlett was holding a glass of red wine and was joking with her friends next to her. Suddenly she saw Zhou Yutang in the crowd. Her eyes lit up and she immediately went to greet him.
"Hi Zhou, long time no see, you are still so handsome."
"Scarlett, you are so radiant too."
The two people were very close to each other, and Zhou Yutang really felt it.
The most deadly weapon in the world, it deserves its reputation.
He originally thought that Da Mimi was invincible, but he didn't expect that there were masters.
Scarlett's talent was the most amazing Zhou Yutang had ever seen.
No wonder Adu wanted to drink bath water.
Dong Ge realized that Zhou Yutang was very popular here.
In addition to Scarlett, Blake Lively, Elizabeth Olsen and other young actresses who even he knew came to greet and hug him.
Dong Ge was a little shocked by the capitalist world of fame and fortune.
Zhou Yutang seemed to have a kind of magic, as if as long as he waved his hand, those female stars would come.
As calm and steady as Dong Ge, his breathing was a little rapid.
Not all business leaders are good at playing.
Of course, old foxes like Zhang Chaoyang do enjoy life.
But Dong Ge is different from Zhang Fox.
He started from scratch, focused on his career, and wanted to make his brothers bigger and stronger.
Such an excellent man must have many women approaching him on their own initiative, but I have never experienced such an exaggerated romantic battle.
In short, Dong Ge has not caught up in enjoying life.
Ni Ni, who was standing next to him, could not stand it any longer.
She took Zhou Yutang's arm.
Her smile was bright and radiant.
Tonight, Ni Ni, who was wearing a dress, had a figure that was not inferior to that of a supermodel, and had a very high-level beauty.
Even the foreigners stared at her, and those overly enthusiastic foreign horses restrained themselves a little.
Zhou Yutang felt the soft and delicate touch on his arm and was a little surprised.
Ni Ni would not be like this usually. Did she figure it out?
"Boss, Shishi and Xixi have sent messages."
The beauty next to him came over and said, "Let me help watch you."
"Do I need to watch? Can't I stand such a test?"
"It's because you don't know your own value that they are worried. After all, Hollywood is much more unrestrained than China. They are probably afraid that you will be snatched away by someone casually."
Ni Ni said with a faint smile.
Zhou Yutang planted insiders around Tianxian and Yijie. They were not stupid and knew how to infiltrate Zhou Yutang's close friends.
Mao Xiaoyu in the past and Ni Ni now have good relationships with them.
Where has the most basic trust between people gone?
Zhou Yutang did not indulge in being surrounded by beauties. He said something to Dong Ge and met Harvey under Bob's introduction.
Professional matters should be handed over to professionals.
In terms of operating Oscar awards, Harvey, the fat guy, is undoubtedly an expert among experts.
After all, even Gwyneth can get on the list, which shows his public relations strength.
"Dallas Buyers Club" has the hope of impacting the Oscars, but public relations are indispensable.
After more than an hour of detailed discussion, Zhou Yutang handed the matter over to Harvey, the fat guy.
Winning an award is not just about the quality of the film, but the most important thing is to follow the rules of the game.
The core of lobbying the Oscar organizer, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, is to deal with the jury composed of 6,028 Oscar Academy students.
Many people think that the Oscars are high-end and the fairest award in the world.
In fact, the so-called fairness also has a price tag.
In the next two days, Zhou Yutang met the main creators of the "Dallas" crew.
Matthew McConaughey was very enthusiastic when he saw the legendary producer: "Zhou, it's nice to meet you."
Compared to the 77 pounds he lost when filming the movie, he was almost unrecognizable, but now he has recovered.
The profession of actor is so magical.
"Me too."
Zhou Yutang shook hands with him, and did not ignore Master Leto next to him: "Your performance in the movie is amazing enough. I think you are fully qualified to win the trophy at the Oscars."
"I hope to borrow your good words."
The words are in place here. They have been working in Hollywood for so many years, and they are all smart people. Naturally, they will mobilize their own connections to do something.
After meeting with Zou Zhongyan to discuss several projects here.
Chen Xi has already returned to China to prepare for "Red Ling".
Ni Ni followed Zhou Yutang into the car. On the way to the airport, there was a subtle change in the eyes that inadvertently passed by Zhou Yutang.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Zhou Yutang, who was busy with time management, noticed Ni Ni's gaze and asked without raising his head. "Nothing, the materials for the meeting are ready." Ni Ni found that she didn't know Zhou Yutang's power clearly enough. After experiencing the cocktail party in the past few days, she realized how powerful Zhou Yutang was. Not only the young actresses in Hollywood were interested in him, but also the Hollywood film and television giants were vying to win him over and actively releasing goodwill. Now Zhou Yutang is a leading figure in domestic entertainment. If you want to eat the big cake of the Chinese market, how can you not pay homage to him? "Zhou Yutang, congratulations to JDG for winning the world championship. How do you feel now?"
"Thank you. I am very happy to bring the championship home."
After the plane landed and he just came out of the Capital Airport, he was blocked by entertainment reporters. Zhou Yutang was in a good mood and accepted a wave of interviews:
"After the broadcast of "Silent Separation", the ratings were very popular. What do you want to say?"
"I have seen the finished film. Wang Kai and Tang Yan acted very well. I plan to watch this drama again in the evening. I also thank the audience for their support." Zhou Yutang said with a smile.
He was in America, and he also heard from Ni Ni about the ratings of "Love at First Sight" during the National Day holiday.
"So what do you think of Dong Ge and Milk Tea's relationship?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this question, Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned. He did not expect the entertainment reporter to suddenly attack him, and laughed: "I don't know much about this."
"But someone took a photo of you, Dong Ge, and Milk Tea having dinner together."
"What does that mean? It's normal for friends to have dinner together."
After dealing with the interview hastily, Zhou Yutang got in the car and took the tablet that Ni Ni handed over.
The news about Dong Ge and Milk Tea has become a hot topic of public opinion.
Dong Ge, who is 40 years old, is 19 years older than Milk Tea, which immediately caused an uproar.
Rubbing his forehead, Zhou Yutang called Dong Ge to communicate, and sent Bob's contact information by the way.
Bob is a local in Hollywood with a wide network of contacts. The drinking party and the girl he arranged are still very reliable.
Brother Dong can find him if he needs anything.
For the sake of our fellow countrymen, I must help my brother to avoid being tricked in the future.
On the way back to the company, Zhou Yutang listened to Ni Ni's work report.
Winning the S-League Championship during the National Day holiday was extremely exciting. As the driving force behind the entire team, Zhou Yutang was on the domestic hot search list for several days.
As for the team, the live broadcast contract was signed on Bilibili, and it also received sponsorship from several domestic e-sports brands.
The ratings of this year's world championship also allowed domestic brands to see the potential of the e-sports market, which is a sunrise industry waiting to be developed.
The combined income of several sponsorships can be about 8 million per year.
It doesn't sound much.
But mosquito legs are also meat, at least the team's income and expenditure can be maintained without blood transfusion.
"Ni Ni, do you want to rest for half a day?"
Seeing that Ni Ni was a little tired, Zhou Yutang took the initiative to show concern.
"No, wait until night to sleep, otherwise you can't adjust to the time difference."
Ni Ni shook her head gently and smiled.
She envied Zhou Yutang's physique a little, so she took a short rest on the plane, and now she was full of energy again.
Zhou Yutang went to Vision Media and happened to meet Wu Ershan. Guo Fan said that this guy went to Jiangdong every day, and he wanted to make progress.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, Zhou Yutang talked to Wu Ershan, and when he went out, he happened to meet Wang Changtian and Chen Jiashang,
"Mr. Wang, Director Chen, let's have dinner together?"
"Okay, let's have a meal here."
Wang Changtian was not shy, and the special effects of the sequel of Guangguang's "The Four" were also done by Vision Media, and now they have been completed.
Every time Zhou Yutang came back from America, he always liked to have a bowl of authentic noodles with soybean sauce.
The company's small canteen specially assigned him a master chef who was good at this.
It was already autumn, and the beef with soybean sauce was accompanied by simple vegetables such as cucumber shreds, bean sprouts, and chopped green onions.
After a few stirs, the rich aroma makes people hungry. Pick up the chopsticks and take two more bites of noodles, and the taste of happiness explodes in the mouth.
Zhou Yutang handed a few cloves of garlic to Lao Wang, and heard him sighing: "Yutang, you are really willing to spend money."
The money spent on special effects in the sequel of "The Four" may be only about 30% of that in "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
"You get what you pay for. As long as the final effect is in place, the money doesn't matter."
Hearing this from Zhou Yutang, Wu Ershan's big face was full of envy.
Having money means being willful.
His thinking of making movies is still stuck in how to save money, unlike Zhou Yutang, who starts from the effect.
From Wu Ershan's point of view, the special effects level of the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is absolutely world-class, and it is not an exaggeration at all.
After having dinner with Lao Wang, Zhou Yutang decided to work overtime at the company in the evening. Unexpectedly, Mao Xiaoyu came running over to tell him a story:
"Boss, that Wu Ershan comes to the company every day."
"What's wrong? I asked him to come."
"He went into the special effects room of Vision Media as soon as he arrived. I suspect he is suspicious. Do you think he is a spy for Huayi?"
Seeing Mao Xiaoyu's alert face, Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed, tapping her forehead: "Don't be suspicious. It may take several years to organize such a project. It doesn't hurt to let him take a look."
"Wu Ershan is from Huayi. Boss, aren't you afraid that he will steal things?"
"I hope he learns something during the communication process."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "He is from Huayi and a Chinese director. If he can be inspired and make better movies in the future, isn't it a good thing for us audiences?"
Mao Xiaoyu was slightly stunned.
Ni Ni's expression also changed, and she said admiringly: "Boss, you have a big vision."
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Now many people call Zhou Yutang the top brother of the domestic entertainment industry. If he doesn't even have this kind of vision, how can he be the leader?
Zhou Yutang has a very complete development plan for Jiangdong Entertainment's future film and television projects.
Vision Media is the basis for him to implement these development plans.
So the money he spent on this was so much that even Wang Guangguang said he couldn't afford it, but he finally cultivated a top special effects team for him.
This is like in ancient times, only the army that had fought and seen blood could be called elite.
"Now You See Me" is just the beginning, and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is just the second step. Zhou Yutang has greater ambitions.
Including film and television adaptations of various fairy tales and fantasy novels, as well as oriental mythology systems, are all within the long-term plan of Jiangdong Entertainment Creation Center.
In the world of snow, there is a man with a sword, an old swordsman who astonished the whole world.
The world that covers the sky and those powerful emperors are very suitable for film and television adaptations.
Among the gods, we can see the Emperor of Man and the Emperor of Heaven, competing for the secrets of heaven, the plots of the three religions, and the destiny of heaven and earth.
The future is bright.
But we have to eat one bite at a time, and for now we still have to focus on "Chi Ling".
In this story, it is the darkest era in China.
The Japanese aggressors are so fierce and their crimes are so overwhelming that the waves are about to collapse, the buildings are about to collapse, and the mountains and rivers are shattered before our eyes.
The cruel and bloody era is like a dull knife, slowly destroying all the good things about Mr. Pei.
Finally, the fire completes the sublimation.
It is the fire that pierces despair and symbolizes hope.
This is also the hidden core of the story "Chi Ling".
After all, "Witness" was affected by "The Dragon King of God", and its total box office stopped at 378 million.
After "The Dragon King" was released, it directly took over the top spot at the box office at the end of September, and made a crazy amount of 380 million in seven days during the National Day holiday.
The total box office has reached 487 million.
It is only one step away from the 500 million box office.
Xu Ke created the best record of his director career, and became famous as a genius director.
Other movies such as "White Fox", "Have a Happy Journey", "Escape from Life", etc., each one is more embarrassing than the other, and together they are not enough to beat.
Huayi has already started preparing for the celebration banquet.
At this time, some attentive netizens discovered the box office predictions made by Zhou Yutang at the Dragon King premiere.
"I'm convinced, Zhou Yutang's vision is really accurate."
"It's just like what he said, Dragon King swept the National Day season."
"Xu Ke is really the number one Chinese martial arts person."
…
Zhou Yutang has been communicating with Lao Mouzi frequently in the past two days. The play "Return" has to present huge dramatic tension in a gentle and ordinary way, which tests the director's control ability and the actor's skills.
Zhou Yutang also said a special hello to Emperor Gong: "Teacher Gong, please bring more charity."
"Director Zhou, don't be so polite. I'm older than you. Please call me Sister Gong Li."
Gong Huang's laughter was hearty: "Shi Shi is very good. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to cooperate with Director Zhou."
They are all people who have been there, what else can they not understand?
This is the woman of Jiangdong's boss, so of course she enjoys different treatment.
Gong Li also spent time maintaining her relationship with Zhou Yutang.
For an actor, the most important thing is always the work.
Especially an actress like Gong Li, who has reached the pinnacle of Chinese-language actresses.
If you want to take on a new film, your first choice of partner is naturally the top director in the industry. It is necessary to have a good relationship with a super first-line director like Zhou Yutang.
"There must be a chance. I have always liked Sister Gong Li's acting skills..."
Zhou Yutang really didn't draw cakes for Gong Li this time.
He had a script in his hand, and there was a role in it that suited her very well.
"Honey."
When talking on the phone every day, Liu Shishi was a little confused: "I feel that Director Zhang and Sister Gong Li take special care of me. Did you say hello to them?"
"Maybe it's because of your outstanding talent that Director Zhang and Gong Li have developed a love for talents."
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and smiled, a bit teasingly.
"I'm not stupid."
The corners of Liu Shishi's mouth also slightly pursed in a soft arc.
Of course she knows.
In fact.
Even if she doesn't know, the people in the team around her will get the news through various methods and tell her.
If Zhou Yutang hadn't said hello, Zhang Yimou might not have used him.
If it weren't for Zhou Yutang's great reputation, how could a celebrity like Gong Li get close to her and remind her?
Shi Shi felt sweet in her heart when she thought about it.
What woman doesn’t want to be treated with tenderness?
Unfortunately, I couldn't fly to him right away, so I had to continue sharing the little things I encountered while filming on the crew,
"Today the crew was filming an outdoor scene at Jinwan Plaza. Taozi went to buy donkey meat and grill it. That restaurant is really good, and they also have 18th Street Twist."
"By the way, let me show you today's stills jpg."
Then, Zhou Yutang received a picture.
This is Liu Shishi's look in the movie "Return".
Wash away the lead and become a pure and beautiful temperament.
Well, Shi Shi is also beautiful without makeup.
