Chapter 582: Little Flower Zhou Ye, the Peak of Life for the Face-Blind Brothers
If "Chi Ling" is postponed.
Avoiding scary monsters like "Transformers 4", coupled with subsequent marketing boosts, will definitely earn more box office.
But now Zhou Yutang is called the number one person in domestic entertainment by the outside world, so of course he must have the responsibility of being number one.
He just wants to have a run-in with "Transformers 4," the most powerful enemy in the summer season, leaving some space and leeway for other domestic films.
La Pei Kang, who quickly figured this out, felt a little emotional, and said after a moment: "I will make arrangements for the premiere."
"Then I'll trouble you, Dong."
Koto Company.
Except for Zhou Shufang, director of the artist management department, Wen Muye, Lu Yang, Guo Fan and others gathered in the conference room.
Except for Guo Fan, Wen Muye and Lu Yang are now considered hot young directors. They each have projects in hand. They usually chat in groups and rarely get together.
"Boss, this is the final cast list of "Manslaughter", please take a look."
Zhou Yutang took the list of actors from Wen Muye's hand and glanced at it.
"Zhang Songwen, Gong Li, Tan Zhuo, Zhou Ye, Li Jian..."
Tan Zhuo is a well-known acting star in the literary film industry. He plays Ayu, the wife of the leading actor Li Weijie.
She collaborated with Liu Shishi in "The Tuner". When Zhou Yutang was chatting on the phone with the first sister, she heard her mention this sister, which really gave her a lot of help in acting.
Just after finishing filming on "The Tuner", I accepted the role of "Manslaughter".
Li Jian plays the rich second generation who drugged the eldest daughter of the hero Zhang Weijie in the movie, that is, the son of Emperor Gong.
After a slight pause in his gaze, Zhou Yutang turned his head and asked, "Is this Zhou Ye the person chosen by Lin Liang?"
"Do you know Mr. Zhou?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhou Shufang's eyes, and she observed Zhou Yutang's expression carefully.
"I remember that I came here to audition for the role of "The Lonely Agent" before."
Zhou Yutang put down the list and laughed.
The little girl in "The Lonely Agent" had many connections who wanted to seduce her.
The casting team also selected many girls of the right age, Zhou Ye was one of them, and after comprehensive consideration, they chose sister Zifeng.
Now this girl's appearance has grown, and she is really fresh and beautiful.
"Mr. Zhou's vision is really amazing."
"Sister Fang."
Zhou Yutang chuckled softly: "Don't you think she looks a bit like Zhang Jingyi?"
Zhang Jingyi whom he met last time when he was promoting a movie at a road show in Changsha.
At that time, I felt that the girl's pure and beautiful appearance in school uniform was very photogenic, so I told Zhou Shufang to be included in the company's database of potential stars.
Zhou Shufang immediately took the tablet, checked the database of Jiangdong's artist department, pulled out the photos and compared them, she was a little dumbfounded.
Zhou Ye is one year older than Zhang Jingyi. The two people are not exactly the same, but at least they are similar in appearance.
Zhou Ye has a full forehead, a high starting point, and a cold temperament on his body.
The whole person seems to have a sense of story.
As for Zhang Jingyi, her facial lines are fuller and childish, she looks much gentler, and her overall temperament is charming and naive. She has a standard first love face, a perfect campus white moonlight.
"They are quite similar, but their temperaments are a little different."
"It smells a bit like early Zhang Ziyi."
Wen Muye, Guo Fan, and Lu Yang also came up to take a look and were amazed.
Zhou Shufang turned her eyes around Zhou Yutang and asked proactively: "Mr. Zhou, I think this little girl Zhou Ye has good qualifications. Why don't you put her on the potential list first?"
"It's up to you."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.
Jiangdong Entertainment's artist management business operation system is quite mature, and it has become popular among celebrities such as Li Yao, Nazha, and Reba.
We are also beginning to plan for the future and gradually absorb some small seedlings that are valuable for cultivation.
This kind of trivial matter can be left to Zhou Shufang. Of course Zhou Yutang will not interfere: "Next, let's get down to business."
Zhou Shufang, Wen Muye and others immediately became serious, and Zhou Yutang said: "How is the schedule coordination of the actors in "Now You See Me 2" going?"
"Boss, it's all decided, and it will be launched in August." Guo Fan said with a smile.
"Um."
Zhou Yutang nodded.
He intentionally faded out of the "Now You See Me" series of projects, and the second part will begin to gradually weaken his presence.
The timing was just right. Lao Mouzi started filming in July and gave him a 40-day schedule.
"There's nothing wrong with Lu Yang's notebook. Let's take it over to make a project budget."
"Notify China Film Group that the cast list for "Manslaughter" has been announced. Let's make an announcement..."
"Manslaughter" will hold a launch ceremony in early July, and China Film Group has also won a share.
It is defined as a cultural exchange and cooperation project between China and Tyrande, which naturally has many conveniences and benefits.
As Zhou Yutang's right-hand man, Wen Muye's second film is quite important and has attracted a lot of attention both inside and outside the industry.
In Huizhou in June, the weather has started to get hotter.
Hua Luogeng Middle School.
The ceiling fan above the classroom was spinning slowly.
Sending soothing wind to students wearing uniforms.
Zhou Ye, like other students, was troubled by the equations written by the math teacher on the blackboard, counting with his fingers how long it would be until summer vacation.
Jingle Bell.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and it sounded like the sound of nature to Zhou Ye.
Like the classmates around her, she planned to lie down for a while. The math teacher was still arranging teaching aids on the podium, and a classmate was asking a question.
The two girls in the front seat went to the toilet hand in hand.
The book was standing on the desk, and Zhou Ye was immersed in playing with her mobile phone. Suddenly she received a message. Her body trembled, she screamed, and she jumped up from her seat.
The math teacher's attention was attracted, and his deskmate beside him was startled: "Yezi, what's wrong with you?"
"I, I... I auditioned!"
Zhou Ye was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and his smile was particularly bright under the sunlight shining through the window.
"ah?"
The deskmate's brain suddenly shut down, and then his pupils trembled. He seemed to be in disbelief, and his mouth opened wide: "Did you really pass it!?"
The relationship between the classmates was good, and I heard about her auditioning for a play, but I didn't take it to heart. Who would have thought that the dream would become a reality.
Zhou Ye's seat was in the front row. There had been quite a commotion just now, and the math teacher also came over.
Unexpectedly, he was hugged by the excited Zhou Ye. The middle-aged woman was a little dumbfounded. When she asked what happened, she was also surprised.
All the eyes of the entire classroom were focused on Zhou Ye.
After a while, the students around him suddenly burst into exclamations.
"Wow, that's awesome."
"Yezi, when did you go to audition?"
"Big star, take me."
The classmates around him swarmed up and surrounded Zhou Ye, making noises.
The excitement passed, but Zhou Ye felt a little embarrassed. He said with a silly smile: "I don't know, maybe I was lucky. I received a call from Jiangdong Entertainment to audition, and then I went to try my luck during the holiday. I didn't expect that I could Select"
"The movie "Manslaughter" produced by Soochow Pictures is tentatively scheduled to start production in early July.
Screenwriter/Producer: Zhou Yutang.
Director, Wen Muye.
Starring: Zhang Songwen, Gong Li, Tan Zhuo, Zhou Ye, Li Jian."
Some students searched the Internet and found the latest news released by Soochow Pictures' official account, and saw Zhou Ye's name in the starring list.
They immediately rushed to tell each other, and the news spread like wildfire, becoming more and more exaggerated as it spread.
Initially, it was said that Zhou Ye passed the Jiangdong audition and was about to star in a film produced by Jiangdong Entertainment.
But as word spread, Zhou Ye became the heroine of Zhou Yutang's new play.
Soon, not only her class, but also students from several neighboring classes ran outside their classroom door and looked curiously through the doors and windows.
Hua Luogeng Middle School is not an art school. It is magical no matter how you think about the fact that the classmates you take classes with will soon become the next fish girls.
Many students took a long way here just to catch a glimpse of the legendary fish girl.
Zhou Yutang's influence among young people is unparalleled.
In less than half a day, Zhou Ye seemed to have a halo around him and became a big star on campus.
Zhou’s mother also received the call and quickly came to the school.
"Mother Zhou."
After understanding the situation, the head teacher unscrewed the thermos cup and asked, "You mean, you called me later and confirmed it with Jiangdong Entertainment?"
"Yes, Teacher Wen, I asked Xiaoye's father to check. The person who contacted us was indeed Manager Zhou Shufang of Jiangdong Artist Management Department."
Zhou's mother was a little excited: "Xiaoye went there during the vacation to receive basic acting training. The crew will be filming in Tyrande, and it may not be completed until September."
"That's it."
The head teacher nodded: "It's summer vacation soon, so it should be fine."
"The school, in principle, encourages students to develop personal interests and specialties without affecting their studies. That is Xiaoye's studies and future. You have to think carefully about it when you go back. The art exam is not easy."
"Look at Xiaoya's own ideas, and we all support her."
Mother Zhou looked at her daughter with loving and doting eyes.
"Xiaoye, what do you think?" the head teacher asked curiously.
"Mom, Teacher Wen."
Zhou Ye seemed to have made some decision. He raised his head and said firmly: "I want to transfer to the media class and then take the exam at the Beijing Film Academy."
"I am also a big fan of Zhou Yutang when I am young." Zhou's mother explained.
"Haha, my daughter is also a fan of his."
Teacher Wen showed a smile on his face, stood on his own side, and gave advice: "Xiaoye, the teacher has a suggestion."
"Don't make a decision in a hurry. This is a rare opportunity. You can go to the crew and give it a try first. If you don't think it's what you imagined, then let's go back to school and prepare for the college entrance examination."
"If you really like it, then it's not a bad idea to take the art exam."
If you are a student from an average family background, Teacher Wen must advise you to be more realistic. After all, the competition for art exams is very fierce.
But Zhou Ye entered the IELTS class of the International Department of Hua Luogeng Middle School in his first year of high school in order to pave the way for studying abroad. His family background was naturally good and he had room for trial and error.
After Zhou's mother took her daughter off to say thank you, she left the school and prepared to go home to share this happy event with Zhou's father.
The office was still lively, and the topic of conversation was naturally Zhou Ye, who was selected by Jiangdong Entertainment.
Such a strange thing not only caused a sensation among the students, but also heated discussions among the teachers.
After all, this is Jiangdong Entertainment, which is at its peak. Who hasn’t seen Jiangdong Entertainment’s film and television dramas?
Wen Muye's new drama is produced and written by Zhou Yutang himself.
"By the way, it seems that Zhou Yutang's "Chi Ling" will have its premiere tomorrow. Have you bought all your movie tickets?"
"Not yet. I just watched Liu Yifei's "Super Body" two days ago. It was quite good."
"Teacher Wang, when you buy movie tickets, remember to go to Maoyan app. There are special discounts for booking in advance, and you can get a refund if you miss it."
"Teacher Wen, you are amazing. You have trained a big star."
"Not sure yet, just go to the crew and try it out."
Teacher Wen unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup and took a sip of warm tea.
Looking at the ID photo of the girl on the table quietly.
It looks ordinary, how can she enter the entertainment industry?
Could it be that Zhou Yutang is really face-blind?
Face-blind Zhou Yutang is preparing for the premiere of "Red Ling".
It is his face-blind brother Dong Ge who took the lead in Alibaba and reached the peak of his life.
Jingdong Mall was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in America on the 23rd.
The opening price was US$21.75. Calculated at the issue price, the market value reached about US$29.7 billion!
Dong Ge himself holds 18.8% of the shares, and is now worth nearly US$5 billion.
Instantly became the top bachelor in China.
Milk tea did not appear at the bell ringing ceremony, but posted an intriguing Weibo: "Proud of you."
Dong Ge, a winner in both business and love, said in an interview: "In the most difficult moments of starting a business, I never had any doubts or hesitations. Thanks to my brothers' support, my dream finally came true!"
"The good brother Dong Ge is talking about should be Zhou Yutang, right?"
"He has been investing in Jingdong for several years, and last year he also cooperated to set up a lol game team."
"Oh my god, Zhou Yutang is still a shareholder of Jingdong, how rich is he?"
Soon, professionals dug out the fact that Zhou Yutang held shares in Jingdong, and netizens exploded instantly.
At this time, Zhou Yutang only sent a congratulatory message to Dong Ge, and then attended the premiere celebration of "Red Ling" held in the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Auditorium in Beijing.
This time it was quite grand, and many celebrities were invited. Walking the red carpet, meeting, and watching the movie must be indispensable.
After the end, a cocktail party of high standards was also prepared.
As soon as he walked through the red carpet, the media blocked Zhou Yutang and asked him about his feelings about becoming a shareholder of Jingdong. The continuous spotlights almost blinded the eyes of Mr. Wang of Huayi.
The little steel cannon was also overshadowed.
He looked at Zhou Yutang, who was dealing with the media gracefully, and turned his head to communicate with Mr. Wang beside him, looking at Zhou Yutang frequently.
The person he was talking about was naturally Zhou Yutang.
Even Mr. Wang was a little jealous.
The brothers tried their best to get rid of the film and real estate, and to make a lot of money.
Originally, I wanted to make Zhou Yutang realize that shorting Huayi shares was a stupid move in front of him after the company became bigger and stronger.
Now it seems.
The clown turned out to be me.
They were playing a game of gods, and they didn't take Huayi's shares seriously at all.
Zhou Yutang's 2.5% stake in Jingdong alone is worth billions. The size of the Chinese Internet listed company, which is the third largest in market value after Tencent and Baidu, is so terrifying.
This does not include his base Jiangdong Entertainment and other companies he invested in.
The lights of the whole venue seemed to be focused on Zhou Yutang tonight. Yu Dong, the fat man of Bonner, talked about this with his friends, and his tone was somewhat sour.
Suddenly, there was a commotion. Turning around, Fatty Yu's eyes were wide open: "Why is he here too?"
It would be fine if the two former heads of China Film Group were here.
It is said that Zuo Shandiao is Zhou Yutang's adoptive father, and now this new guy also relies on Zhou Yutang a lot, and they are all partners with vested interests.
"Even Director Tong is here?"
Now even the head of the Film Censorship Committee, Director Tong, who holds the power of life and death.
Actually came to the scene in person to support Zhou Yutang's movie premiere.
There was an uproar at the scene.
