Chapter 698: Big Money, Pool Party

"Oppa, I heard that your girl group is going to release a new album. Did you choose the time specifically?"

Lin Yun'er's profile picture was beating, and the sudden question made Zhou Yutang slowly type a question mark,

"?"

"Our group is also going to release an album!"

Lin Yoona made an angry expression: "When the time comes, we will definitely bump into each other."

"Afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, it was just an accident last time!"

"..."

Zhou Yutang replied to Yoona's message.

It can be seen that Lin Yuner is very unconvinced.

Girls' Generation's facade has a strong desire to win.

But when he thought of that innocent deer, Zhou Yutang couldn't help but laugh.

Or their own Jiangdong girl group is too impressive.

The sales of the first album exceeded one million copies.

Among them, the hit song "CUPID" has been on the Billboard singles chart for 16 consecutive weeks.

Created the best overseas performance of a new generation of women's groups.

This is also the biggest gap among girl groups in the past, and there is no one even close.

Indiscriminate killings overseas, and a singer on a singing show in South Korea also got mercy.

At the same time, Girls' Generation released a new album, and they followed suit.

Although Zhou Yutang mobilized the resources of the Jiangdong Department behind the scenes to push the results.

Lifting the table to raise the bar is also a common tactic in the entertainment industry.

But it is an indisputable fact that it has become a hit abroad, and it has achieved real results on Spotify.

This is the true peak of debut.

Among the girl groups of the same generation, there is no one-stop enemy, and their popularity is at a loss.

Fans call it the Super Wanyan Group.

Xiao Tang Wei and Kim Ji Soo are considered great beauties, but Yang Chaoyue is still the face of the group.

The appearance and condition of the little koi really means that it is fed by God. It is pure, cute and full of energy.

Cheng Xiao is the sexy leader of the group, Sister Sana is full of aura, and the remaining Zhao Meiyan is a stupid beauty.

However, from strength to strength comes strength.

The background is still a bit worse than that of Girls' Generation, which is at its peak.

From the second generation of Girls’ Generation to now, I have been invincible and lonely for too long.

It’s hard to imagine that the members of Wondergirls, who once suppressed Girls’ Generation, have disbanded long ago, and some members have even gotten married and had children...

Lin Yoona said that South Korea is already doing promotional work for "Broken Tomb".

By then, she will have a trip to China at the end of the year to promote the movie "Mermaid".

The Chateau Frontenac, built in 1893, is a landmark building in Maple Leaf Country.

It is located on the north shore of St. Lawrence in the old town, in the center of Quebec City's old town.

The blue-green roof, red brick exterior walls and neat windows are like a castle in a fairy tale. The interior of the hotel is decorated in a 19th-century French style.

Overall, it's old-fashioned but stylish.

Zhou Yutang's room has a unique view, overlooking the Plaza de Armas and the sparkling waves of the St. Lawrence River.

By the time he checked in, Jiang Xuerou had already communicated with the management of this "most photogenic hotel in the world".

The crew of "The Lonely and Brilliant God" will shoot here. The hotel where Jin Xin asked Eun Zhuo to wait for him is here.

Arrived on the same day, no rest, just turned on.

Jiang Xuerou was very distressed. The crew was shooting abroad and the money they burned every day was several times that of the domestic one.

However, Zhou Yutang still took two days off from the crew and flew to Los Angeles.

The main creators of "The Meg" are already in place, including director Joe Detuba and Warner Bros. producer Barry M Osborne, who has produced films such as "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Great Gatsby" Hollywood gold medal producer.

There are also starring Guoda Statham, Nazha, and Zhang Songwen.

Teacher Song Wen played Nazha's father in this movie, but at this time he was still working on the set of "Mr. Good" and did not come over.

A group of main creators were waiting for the big boss Zhou Yutang to hold a meeting in Los Angeles.

New Line's share was not large. Bob was not there that day, but he called Zhou Yutang.

"Wow, Zhou, you really should come to Brazil. There are some of the most charming girls I have ever seen, and there are passionate parties that you will never forget."

I really don’t know what is wrong with this old man. Even if he doesn’t attend the meeting, “The Conjuring 2” is also being released in North America. He didn’t even sit in person and went to Brazil to open a bank.

"Bob, take it easy, you'll be drained sooner or later."

Zhou Yutang's tone was calm and teasing.

He looked at the photo Bob shared.

One on the left and one on the right, two Brazilian supermodels with exaggerated fleshy figures surrounded the old man.

I just saw that his grin was almost reaching behind his ears. I wonder if this old man can withstand it.

"Zhou, one thing that's bad about you is that you are too conservative and don't know how to enjoy life..."

Old Bob kept chattering, but Zhou Yutang didn't give him a chance to continue to play, and hung up the phone directly because of poor signal.

He was sitting on a lounge chair beside the indoor heated swimming pool, stretching in a leisurely manner.

Nazha obediently handed over a glass of ice.

It may be cultural differences, or it may be personal reasons.

Zhou Yutang is not very interested in this kind of extroverted and chaotic party.

He is used to being cautious and cautious in doing things, and will not let the small head control the big head unless it is confirmed that it is within the control range.

But old Bob is still playing around, and he is still very reliable in his work. He probably wants to train Natalie, his number one general, and she handles all these things.

Bob had also asked Governor Zhou about his impression of Natalie.

This capable and efficient woman is very much to Zhou Yutang's liking.

"I feel that The Conjuring 2 is even scarier than the previous one in the series."

Naza was in a very good mood today, chatting with Ni Ni, Chen Xi, and Han Jianu about The Conjuring 2, which was just released in North America.

Chen Xi and Han Jianu are both producers of The Meg. The two women have been here for a while and often play with Naza.

Today, the three women sang a play, chattering, and the poolside was particularly lively.

This luxury apartment not only has private spa facilities, but the most important thing is this 20-meter-long indoor constant temperature swimming pool.

Several women sat on the lounge chairs next to them, discussing the movie, and giggling from time to time.

Zhou Yutang was amazed at the wonderful shooting techniques of James Wan. In fact, he had already seen the finished film of The Conjuring 2.

James Wan is not a master of horror films in vain. The quality of this movie is undoubtedly better than the spin-off movie "Annabelle" from the Conjuring universe.

Compared with the first movie, it is more controversial.

Some people think that the first movie in the Conjuring series was too amazing, and the sequel failed to meet expectations and gradually became clichéd.

Others think that there are still many wonderful stories to be explored in the Conjuring universe.

Different people have different opinions.

As for Zhou Yutang, he was very satisfied with the result. Sitting on the recliner, he said to Ni Ni comfortably,

"Let Sister Zou contact James Wan's studio, put the sequel of the human purge on hold, and give the screenwriter work of the Conjuring series the highest priority to ensure the rhythm of one movie per year..."

Why did he fly all the way to Hollywood without any effort?

Of course not for art.

But to make money, to make US dollars.

This is how Hollywood does movie projects. As long as it can make money, it will keep releasing sequels.

For example, the "Fast and Furious" series has harvested global box office this year and made a lot of money. The sequel is already on the agenda.

There is also the classic horror film "Saw" series created by James Wan. The big boss Jigsaw in the movie is dead, and the timeline is pushed back and forth, and there are also various sequels.

As long as there are audiences to pay, it has a meaning of existence.

The same is true for the "Conjuring" series in Zhou Yutang's hands now.

This is a Kun that lays golden eggs.

"I understand."

Ni Ni wrote down her boss's words, and her heart was gradually surging, far less than her calm on the surface.

Currently, the Conjuring series has made three movies.

It has swept the world and has received a total box office of nearly 600 million US dollars.

Moreover, the current "Conjuring 2" has just been released, and it has been released in 3,343 theaters across the United States. The box office revenue on the first day was 18.4 million US dollars, and the first weekend was 61.28 million US dollars!

Just looking at the extremely stable box office trend and reputation of this movie, it will definitely not be lower than "The Conjuring 1"!

In this way, the box office of the Conjuring series is expected to reach 800 million US dollars, or even higher!

However, behind all this, the production cost of the three movies combined is less than 70 million.

This is why those Hollywood giants flock to Zhou Yutang.

This is also the fundamental reason why he can break the boundaries of skin color and country, become famous in Hollywood, and plant the Jiangdong flag.

This is the power of capital.

As long as you are exposed to this power, you will inevitably indulge in it, and your heart will be full of awe.

Ni Ni is in such a state now.

The soft and bright light scatters from the ceiling and the pool wall, reflecting the sparkling waves.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows not far away, you can see the prosperous night scene of Los Angeles, which is different from other places.

Several women are wearing swimsuits, but Han Jianu and Chen Xi are automatically filtered by Zhou Yutang.

He drank iced cola and his eyes lingered on Ni Ni.

The white one-piece swimsuit with a waist-revealing design shows her good figure well, especially her long legs, which faintly reveal a hint of sexiness.

"Brother, swimming?"

Nazha sat directly on Zhou Yutang's chair, crossing her legs, seemingly inadvertently blocking his gaze at Ni Ni.

The light also shone on Nazha's milky, snowy skin. That soft body seemed to have a sweet smell.

"You go, I'll lie down for a while."

Zhou Yutang gently patted Nazha's slender waist and said lazily.

During this period, she was working day and night on the crew, and today was a day off for herself.

Nazha casually threw the white bath towel wrapped around her body aside, and she was wearing a light pink swimsuit.

Her neck was slender and her collarbone was slender.

Under the soft shoulders, she was poor but generous.

Zhou Yutang's eyes stayed on the beautiful legs that were more upright than his own for more than ten seconds.

It was like appreciating a beautiful work of art.

At this time, Nazha knew that Zhou Yutang's eyes were on her.

She felt a little proud in her heart, turned her head and smiled at Zhou Yutang, and showed her beauty and style to Governor Zhou more unscrupulously.

Stretching out her snow-white jade feet and testing the temperature of the swimming pool, Nazha, like a diving athlete, posed in a graceful posture and then jumped into the water.

A water splash bloomed.

Outside the one-way French window, there is the prosperous and cold Los Angeles.

The temperature inside the window is pleasant, and the clear and warm water wraps people, as if it can wash away all the fatigue and troubles.

Money is not omnipotent.

But having money can undoubtedly reduce a lot of troubles and enjoy the beauty that many people cannot enjoy.

Zhou Yutang firmly believes in Brother Hao’s classic saying.

This is why he has always maintained his ambition.

Last night's pool party ended very early. Ni Ni proposed to get rid of the jet lag, and Chen Xi and Han Jia'v both understood.

The rest is the world of two people, Governor Zhou and Nazha.

the next day.

The weather in Luocheng is particularly fresh, just like Zhou Yutang's mood.

In the evening, I taught Naza a foreign language. On the next day’s schedule, I planned to visit the set of "La La Land".

The corners of Zhou Yutang's mouth curled up, and he closed his eyes to rest, but in his mind he remembered the charming and moving scene last night.

"Zhou, congratulations on your box office success."

After giving an overly enthusiastic hug, the smile on Anne Hathaway's face was extremely bright, attracting frequent glances from the crew.

"Sure enough, there is no simple role to play as a great actress."

Ni Ni saw Anne Hathaway's scheming at a glance and sneered in her heart.

In the eyes of the crew, they might think that the relationship between this big-mouthed beauty and Zhou Yutang is as close as reported by Hollywood gossips.

Or, it is unknown whether he has already recommended himself to this Oriental entertainment tycoon.

But Ni Ni, who has been following Zhou Yutang, knows that the two are just ordinary friends.

Zhou Yutang is more interested in Zhang Ruonan than the big-mouthed beauty.

Wai Guoren didn't understand the profoundness of the Celestial Dynasty's culture. Governor Zhou was not a traitor and had no special preference for wives.

“I had studied drama at the Paper Mill Theater in New Jersey and dance training at the Broadway Dance Center, but this was different.”

The smile on Anne Hathaway's face never stopped: "In order to meet the requirements of the role, I spent another two and a half months practicing walking, tap dancing and ballroom dancing. This is really very important to me. difficulty……"

"Annie, you have sacrificed a lot."

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "I hope our efforts will have good results."

"That's what I thought too."

Anne Hathaway smiled her signature sweet smile.

I have to say that the big-mouthed beauty really paid a lot for this role.

Including Commander Gao, he took piano lessons for a long time for the role in this movie, but he looked decent anyway.

After greeting the crew, Zhou Yutang found director Damien and took a look at the footage.

For Damien, this movie was made for Los Angeles.

Dreams and reality, love and separation.

Coexistence seems very poetic.

But in fact, director Damien Chazelle is still not very confident.

"Boss, if you feel that there are any inappropriate details in the plot, we can make adjustments, but it is best not to delete some song and dance clips..."

Damien took the initiative to report, and his tone was even a little uneasy: "Moreover, I want to use a purely original score. I think only in this way can I perfectly reflect what the entire movie wants to express..."

Hollywood directors, unless they reach top positions like Nolan or Spielberg, must listen to investors.

Seeing his anxious look, Zhou Yutang didn't take it seriously. Instead, he patted Damien on the shoulder and gave him reassurance:

"Using singing and dancing to express the ever-evolving love is a very novel, but interesting enough retro attempt. I believe in my judgment of the market, and you should also believe in your own abilities, right?"

"I think so."

The young director Damien breathed a sigh of relief, and only now did he remember to congratulate: "Boss, congratulations on the box office success of "The Conjuring 2."

Beside him, gold medal scorer Justin Hurwitz, and Oscar and Golden Globe double supporting actor JK Simmons also smiled and sent congratulations,

"Zhou, no one understands the art of movies better than you."

"When the time comes, this movie will definitely surprise everyone."

"Mr. Miracle's vision is absolutely unmistakable."

"..."

The atmosphere on the set was relaxed and joyful.

With such a knowledgeable and cheerful investor, he will not use market reasons to interfere with the advancement of the entire project.

The plot of the movie is a bit weak, but the sincere emotions revealed in it can make even people who don't understand musicals feel good about it.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yutang invested in this movie.

Filmmaking is about worldliness, and all Zhou Yutang heard here was rainbow farts.

He stayed on the set until night and watched the night scene scheduled today.

It is a classic pas de deux image in the movie.

The photographer specially arranged many blue-green lights to form a strong contrast with the dim sky.

This moment.

It's like romance is embodied.

Ni Ni looked at the beautiful dusk sky and Zhou Yutang's superior profile, feeling a little intoxicated.

Zhou Yutang doesn’t often post to WeChat Moments, but occasionally when the mood strikes, he takes a photo and the magnificent colors intertwined with the light and sky can give people a magnificent feeling.

Zhang Ruonan, who was still in Quebec, immediately gave Zhou Yutang a thumbs up.

"I heard that the movie starred Anne Hathaway?"

When Zhou Yutang returned to the set, he came up to him like a curious baby and asked:

"They say she is a Hollywood princess. I have watched "Batman" and "Love and Elixir." Does she look so beautiful in real life?"

"On par with you."

Zhou Yutang took a look at Zhang Ruonan and joked: "Xiao Zhang, you are quite interesting too."

"Anne Hathaway is still beautiful, hehe."

Zhang Ruolan was a little happy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Anne Hathaway at her peak was indeed invincible in appearance.

But there is a big problem with white beauties, that is, the flowering period is shorter, which is not as good as oriental beauties.

"The scenes in Canada are very demanding for you. Are you ready?"

"I don't know, it feels a bit difficult."

Zhang Ruolan, who was just gossiping about spiritual meaning, suddenly raised her little face and sighed.

The first time, Chi Eun-tak followed Kim Shin's door and traveled through space to Canada.

She was completely shocked when she saw the power of this lost god in the world.

The heartless Chi Eun-tak smiled and said to Kim Shin that she wanted to marry him.

It is true that he flirted with the gods invisibly.

Kim Shin didn't like this little girl at the beginning.

The relationship between the two has a progressive process.

It was seeing her so cute and brilliant that Kim Shin felt a different touch in his heart.

It also makes the audience very intuitively aware of the budding of feelings between the two people.

Coincidentally, at this time, there is also an invisible ambiguity, from the play to outside the play, lingering between Zhou Yutang and Zhang Ruolan.

In a private hug scene, Zhang Ruolan supported Zhou Yutang's chest with both hands, and her crystal-clear cheeks were flushed.

"Can you please stop moving your hands?"

"Sorry, it's a conditioned reflex."

Zhou Yutang calmly withdrew his hand from Zhang Ruolan's buttocks.

Brothers with women should know this.

Sometimes, a hug is not just a hug.

The hand must be placed where it should be placed
