Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

Watching Zhou Kaiwen leave, Zhou Chengcai explained to several people: "That Mr. Zhou just now didn't have any malicious intentions, he just took a fancy to a film and television project in my hands."

"He wants to steal the project from you?" One of the bosses was a little surprised at Zhou Kaiwen's lack of knowledge.

Zhou Cheng smiled: "If he talks nicely, maybe I will consider letting Taihe participate, but he wants to take it all away, which is relatively troublesome. After all, Yanjing People's Art is one of the leading parties in this project."

Cao Huayi asked in surprise: "Renyi is also involved? What kind of project is it? Let's talk about it."

Zhou Cheng turned to Cao Huayi and said, "It's a script I created called "The Donkey Gets Water", and Renyi purchased the drama copyright."

""The Donkey Gets Water"? I seem to have heard of this name... Is it the script that won the award at the Youth Film Festival?"

"Brother Gou has also heard of this script?" Zhou Cheng smiled modestly: "I am going to shoot a movie with this script. Renyi will invest three million as start-up capital, and Yuan Quan has been invited to be the heroine.

,…”

After chatting with the CEOs of these film and television companies, Zhou Cheng also took the opportunity to promote the project he was working on to everyone.

After hearing that "The Donkey Gets Water" was an award-winning script at the Youth Film Festival and received investment from Yanjing People's Art, many film and television companies expressed interest, among which Li Ming from Benma Pictures was the most interested.

.

"I heard Ning Hao mention this project of yours, and I was originally going to ask him to inquire about it. I didn't expect to meet you today. How much is the approximate investment? Do you have a project budget?"

Li Ming, who also has a background as a big boy, entered the film and television industry later than the Huayi brothers. After several well-known directors were attracted by major film and television companies, Li Ming began to focus on several film and television theaters in Yanjing.

Among them, Nortel, where Zhou Cheng graduated, is his main focus.

"The budget is about 10 million, and I have a detailed project plan."

"Okay, I will ask Manager Zhong from our company's production department to contact you tomorrow. As long as there is no problem with this project document, I will definitely be unambiguous."

Others, including Cao Huayi from Xinli Media, were hesitant. They were worried not about the script, but about Zhou Cheng's age.

After all, Zhou Cheng was only in his twenties, and he was not very good at what he said. When the time comes, he really takes the opportunity to make a fortune and leave. With Zhou Kezhi's power as his backer, it will not be easy for these people to pursue repayment.

"Mr. Zhou, if you have any good projects, you can also consider our Taihe Media. Although the funds in our hands are not as good as those of several of their companies, we can still spend a few million."

The person who interrupted was Wang Wei from Taihe Media. He also had a relationship with Zhou Cheng last time. Zhou Kaiwen, who had just been a bit jealous with Zhou Cheng, was also beside Wang Wei, but he didn't have the arrogance and caution.

appearance.

"Mr. Wang, you are joking." Zhou Cheng greeted Wang Wei politely: "Who doesn't know that Mr. Wang holds the golden mountain of Taihe Real Estate in your hands and is extremely powerful. If Mr. Wang, you want to participate,

I definitely welcome this project with my hands raised.”

When Zhou Kaiwen came to Wang Wei to plead guilty, Wang Wei was worried that Zhou Cheng was also young and energetic and was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. So after Wang Wei taught Zhou Kaiwen a lesson, he stood on the periphery and observed Zhou Cheng. With Wang Wei

With many years of business experience, you can definitely tell some clues through a person's speech and behavior. If Zhou Cheng is really an arrogant and domineering person, Wang Wei will have to think of a response policy in advance. After all, anyone who does business in Yanjing can do it.

There is some relationship.

What he didn't expect was that Zhou Cheng had always been polite in his conversations with several film and television company bosses. During this period, several people obviously had some doubts about Zhou Cheng's project. Zhou Cheng was not angry, but explained it carefully.

Internal reasons. Wang Wei could clearly feel that Zhou Cheng was really looking for cooperation, rather than using coercion and inducement to pressure others.

"This son is definitely not a thing in the pool." This was the conclusion Wang Wei came to. That's why he brought Zhou Kaiwen into this circle and kept silent about Zhou Kaiwen's offending Zhou Cheng, further testing his mind.

"Young Master Zhou is very generous and has the bearing of your father. Wang has been taught a lesson. We, Taihe Media, took over your project." Wang Wei once again expressed his attitude to Zhou Cheng, which was full of sincerity.

"Mr. Zhou, can you also count me as Lao Cao? Even though Lao Cao and I don't have the strength of Mr. Wang, I can still join in."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, and thank you, Uncle Cao." Zhou Cheng pulled Gu Xintong to him: "This is Manager Gu of our project. Tomorrow I will send the project plan to you two. If you are interested in my project,

, we can talk in detail."

"Hello, Mr. Cao (Mr. Wang), I am Gu Xintong, and this is my business card." Gu Xintong understood that this was Zhou Cheng taking the opportunity to introduce her to the big shots in the industry.

Gu Xintong hurriedly distributed his business card to everyone, even the several company CEOs who had not agreed to participate in the project and Zhou Kaiwen, who had just offended them, did not ignore it.

After Zhou Cheng exchanged a few words with Li Ming and others, he saw that many celebrities had already entered the venue. He winked at Gu Xintong and left the communication to her. Because Zhou Cheng saw Huang Teng coming out of the sightseeing elevator with

He used his son to communicate with a group of celebrities in the industry, and the director of this drama, Jiang Wen, was also in this circle.

"Hello, Teacher Jiang." Zhou Cheng did not go up to him directly, but also said hello to Jiang Wen who was next to the elevator.

"Are you Zhou Cheng?" Jiang Wen also saw Zhou Cheng last time in Babaoshan, but he didn't pay attention to him and didn't remember him. After all, in the circle of Yanjing, Jiang Wen, who has already achieved fame, does not need to look at anyone's face to eat.

I just saw several CEOs of film and television companies communicating with Zhou Cheng, and I found someone to find out about each other’s background.

"Yes, I feel honored to have the opportunity to appreciate Teacher Jiang's new work in advance today."

"Thank you. I was originally thinking of sending you an invitation, but I didn't expect that Taihe Company sent it first." Jiang Wen was also impressed by the other party's compliments, and he said a few polite words to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng understood that the other party was just chatting and didn't mind. After getting acquainted with Jiang Wen, he came to the group of celebrities and introduced himself to Huang Teng who had just finished chatting with others: "Hello, Mr. Huang, I'm

It’s Zhou Cheng.”

"Hello." Huang Teng looked at the man in front of him and didn't recognize him, but he still noticed how polite Jiang Wen was to this man just now. He was afraid that he was a newcomer in the industry.

"Teacher Huang, I want to talk to you about something. Is it convenient?" Zhou Cheng pointed to the sofa booth not far away and extended the invitation.

Although he didn't know Zhou Cheng's intention of inviting him, Huang Teng did not refuse. He explained to his son who was already a little impatient, and then followed Zhou Cheng to the sofa area to sit down, looking at this young man who was similar to his son and asked

: "I wonder what Mr. Zhou wants from me?"

Zhou Cheng stated his purpose directly: "Teacher Huang should have received an invitation recently."

"Are you talking about the play "The Donkey Gets Water"?" Huang Wei thought for a moment and looked puzzled: "Are you the screenwriter of this play?"

"Yes, I created this drama, and I also led the investment in this movie."

"It's not easy for Mr. Zhou to write such a profound script." Huang Teng probably understood Zhou Cheng's intention: "Are you a film school graduate?"

"Well, Nortel graduated in 2006 from the Literature Department."

"You are really young and promising." Huang Teng lightly praised.

"I don't dare to praise Teacher Huang." Zhou Cheng smiled and took the initiative to find a topic to break into: "Teacher Huang, you are a well-known veteran actor in the industry. The role of Xiao Cheng you played left a deep impression on me."

"Xiao Cheng?" Huang Teng looked at Zhou Cheng with a hint of doubt: "This play has been around for twelve years. I didn't expect you young people to have seen it."

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Our school teacher used your play as a lesson plan for us. The teacher once specifically pointed out: a good actor can sublimate a good script."

"Your teacher is overrated." Huang Teng suppressed his inner joy and said modestly.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. The character Xiao Cheng you played fully reveals the hesitation and helplessness of a middle-aged laid-off man, as well as the tenacity of having to bury all the suffering in his heart and provoke several families to move forward together. Get the Magnolia

The award is definitely well-deserved. I remember a line from Xiao Cheng that touched me very much: As long as you reach the place you dream of, don’t be discouraged..."

"Because dreams can be achieved, and steps can also be taken to reach them."

Winning the Magnolia TV Series award in 1995 was the most glorious moment in Huang Teng's life. Since then, the only role he can really remember is the villain Yue Buqun.

In another world, there is no play "The Lost Autumn" and no actor Huang Teng. In that world, the role of Yue Buqun is played by Teacher Weizi. However, in comparison, Huang Teng's performance is not inferior to Weizi.

The drama about Huang Teng winning the award was something Zhou Cheng made up for in the past few days, just to find a common topic with him. Now it seems that the effect is good, Huang Teng has a good impression of Zhou Cheng. But if there is no next thing,

It is estimated that Huang Teng will take the initiative to negotiate the detailed conditions of this drama.
