Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Congratulations to Yu Tang!"

Zhang Guoli also applauded on stage with admiring eyes.

The host Chen Chen read out the comments very dedicatedly: "This is a TV series that has had a huge impact across the country and is loved by a wide audience. The wonderful plot and distinctive characters are well combined, and this kind of subject matter is well combined." The TV series has taken it to a whole new level.

"Thanks."

Zhou Yutang took the microphone: "I will cherish this award and continue to make progress. Thank you to the judges and teachers, the audience and fans, and finally, I would like to thank Mr. Han of China Film and Television for his support."

When Han Sanping heard this, he immediately became energetic, his face flushed, and he clapped.

Countless people's eyes gathered.

The TV Drama Gold Award can be said to be the most valuable award.

Last year's "Golden Wedding" could already be called a phenomenon, but in the end it won the Silver Award for TV Drama.

This year's "Insidious" won four awards tonight, almost clearing Magnolia.

This is quite explosive in the entire history of the Magnolia Awards.

This also marks that the TV series "Latent" is definitely a phenomenal work that is qualified to enter the hall of film and television dramas.

"Zhou Yutang, I am a reporter from "Xinmin Evening News". I would like to ask Jiangdong Film and Television to win four important awards. What do you think?"

"I am honored to be recognized by the jury. I think "Latent" is worth it. I will make better works to repay everyone."

After the award ceremony, there was an interview session. Zhou Yutang was in a very good mood and faced all the reporters from the media.

"Mr. Zhou, congratulations on winning the grand prize tonight. I heard that the annual box office attendance of "Lonely Agent" in South Korea has reached 6.5 million, breaking the annual attendance record in South Korea. What do you want to say about this?" Sohu The reporter took a different approach and asked.

"I have set many records, but I feel there are more challenges waiting for me in the future."

"Mr. Zhou, "Head" only won one Best Director award tonight. It is a complete loser. What do you have to say about this?" Interviews in the entertainment industry are always indispensable for the classic push-back session. This reporter from NetEase A little bad.

"I think there are no losers tonight. Director Kang's "Team" is also a classic. I have watched this drama twice. Zhang Yi and Duan Yihong are both my favorite actors. I will definitely work with them if I have the opportunity."

Zhou Yutang smiled and responded appropriately.

In addition to Zhou Yutang, the new Magnolia star Zhang Songwen and the queen Zeng Li were also interviewed by various media.

Especially Zhang Songwen is very topical.

Originally he was just a low-level actor who could play supporting roles, but because of Zhou Yutang's discovery, he became the Magnolia Emperor.

After the interview, at the party held by the organizer, it seemed that all the prosperity was closely related to Zhou Yutang.

"Mr. Zhou, congratulations."

"Mr. Zhou, this is my business card. If we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"Yu Tang, let's have tea together when you have time."

Among those who took the initiative to say hello were well-known actors, senior directors in the industry, producers, and film and television company bosses.

"Yu Tang, congratulations."

Jin Zhiwen also came up to say hello with some restraint.

He was the runner-up in the last edition of The Voice.

The organizers of Magic City TV invited Liang Bo and Jin Zhiwen, the previous champions of The Voice, to perform on the show.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Liang Bo seemed a little unaccustomed to this kind of social situation, but he greeted his boss respectfully.

"Well, how are you doing?"

"Recently, the company has arranged a commercial performance schedule, and then I make music with Liang Bo and the others, which is quite fulfilling."

A sincere and grateful smile appeared on Jin Zhiwen's face: "Yu Tang, I bought a house in the capital. You can come to my new home when you are free some other time and let Lanlan prepare a table of Northeastern dishes for you."

After the first season of The Voice ended, Jin Zhiwen and several of its members became very popular, and the commercial offer rose to 300,000.

Even excluding the company's share, he would be able to earn a house in the capital within half a year without any pressure.

"I'll definitely go when I have time."

Zhou Yutang just chatted for a few words and then walked towards the crew of "The Big Deal".

Director Gao Xixi is Zhou Yutang's senior fellow in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, and Yu Hewei is also a senior in the industry, so it stands to reason that he should go over and say hello.

After simple greetings.

Zhou Yutang's eyes fell on another person from the crew of "The Big Deal", and he took the initiative to say, "Hello, Zhang Jing."

"ah?"

Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied: "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Yutang took the initiative to say hello, which made him feel flattered: "Mr. Zhou, congratulations to "Latent" for winning many awards tonight."

Although he is not good at communication and flattery, his attitude still has some flattering meaning.

Zhang Jing, who has been around for so many years and is still struggling in the middle and lower classes of the entertainment industry, has long understood a truth.

If you have money, you will show off.

Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Film and Television is now on a strong rise and is in the limelight for a while.

If you become good friends with such a big boss, your destiny may change just because of a word from the other person.

Zhou Yutang chuckled softly and said: "Brother Jing, when I was filming "Agent", I often heard Master Ba mention you. You are neat in your work and your scenes are beautiful. We will have the opportunity to work together in the future."

"Thank you."

Zhang Jing scratched his head and grinned, not knowing what to say.

Cai Shaofen next to him reacted quickly and directly filled up his wine glass, raised his glass and said: "Mr. Zhou, I hope you will support me more in the future."

Finished.

Just raise your glass and drink it all.

Even Zhou Yutang couldn't help but look sideways at him.

She is worthy of being the third runner-up Miss Hong Kong when Hong Kong was at its peak in the last century.

Cai Shaofen is not only good-looking, but also has a sharp mind, and her worldly skills are more stable than those of her husband.

"There will be a chance. I like Brother Jing's way of doing things."

Zhou Yutang also raised his glass, took a sip, said sorry, then stood up and left.

Zhang Jing was a little puzzled: "Fenfen, what do you think Zhou Yutang wants to do with me?"

"Are you stupid?"

Cai Shaofen rolled her eyes at her husband and said in non-standard Mandarin: "He has a big water pipe now. No matter what he wants to do, of course we will seize the opportunity to build a good relationship with him."

As soon as her mind changed, Cai Shaofen seemed to have thought of something. She leaned over and said, "I heard that Jiangdong Film and Television was discussing cooperation with the proprietress Zhou Yi some time ago. It may have something to do with it."

"What does that have to do with me?" Zhang Jing was a little confused.

"You idiot, you used to work at Zhouyi Company, and you are very familiar with the behind-the-scenes team there. Jiangdong Film and Television has been recruiting people. I heard that they poached several behind-the-scenes talents from Tangren Film and Television last year."

"Oh, we were very familiar with each other at the time. We are busy with our own affairs recently, and we haven't contacted each other for a long time."

"Then keep in touch, maybe one day it will come in handy."

"Yu Tang, the boss of Zhouyi Company, Jiang Xuexuo, has made it clear that cooperation in dramas is allowed, but other forms of capital injection will not be accepted."

"It's impossible to cooperate. Let's continue talking and find an opportunity to get in touch with Zhang Jing. He is also a talented person."

"Zhang Jing?"

"Yes, he can fight very well."

Zhou Yutang communicated with Li Shuang, a slight arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Don't look at how bad Zhang Jing has been recently.

In his early years, he was a member of the domestic martial arts team and won the national martial arts championship.

Later, he entered the film and television industry and worked as a martial arts instructor and stand-in in Yuan Heping's Yuan Family Class.

He served as Jiao Enjun's martial arts stunt double in "Little Li Flying Knife" and Donnie Yen's martial arts stunt double in "Hero".

He also participated in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li An, and was responsible for assisting the martial arts stunt doubles of the two actresses Zhang Ziyi and Yang Ziqiong.

Later, he gradually moved from behind the scenes to the stage, hooked up with Zhouyi Company, and starred in TV series such as "A History of the Martial Arts", "Xiao Shiyilang", "Shuiyue Cave", etc., but has always been tepid.

Frustrated in career, but quite proud in love.

This year, Zhang Jing and Cai Shaofen just got married. The two were inseparable and their love was very sweet.

Li Shuang suddenly said: "Zhang Jing seems to have come from Zhouyi Company before. I understand. I will arrange for someone to contact him when I get back."

Zhou Yutang has progressed to this day, and Jiangdong Film and Television Culture and Entertainment Company is getting bigger and bigger, relying on his chicken soup method and poaching skills.

This is how Lin Yufen, Song Xiaotao, Mao Jianxin and other key members of Jiangdong Film and Television came to be.

Zhou Yutang's plan was very clear.

Zhang Jing is still a little transparent now, so it is timely to bring him into the company as a martial arts instructor. In the future, if the company has action film projects, he can also be promoted to a high position.

This is just a small episode. After Zhou Yutang explained the matter, Li Shuang naturally came to make arrangements. Zhou Yutang talked to Tian Ming about the future operation and development of the "The Voice" program:

"Brother Ming, Neon and Thailand want to buy the copyright of "The Voice"?"

"Yes, you are very popular in Thailand, and Japan is also very optimistic about the "The Voice" project."

"Then let the business negotiation department negotiate and sign a betting contract linked to ratings according to the cooperation model with South Korea. If programs can be launched in Japan and Thailand, I estimate that there will be people from Europe and the United States coming soon. talk."

Hearing Zhou Yutang's words, Tian Ming's face showed a rare expression of excitement.

The neon entertainment industry is very developed.

Thailand is a very important market in Southeast Asia.

If it captures these two markets, it would be no exaggeration to say that "The Voice" will become a popular variety show in Asia.

Under Zhou Yutang's plan, using the whole of Asia as a springboard, entering the European and American entertainment circles is just around the corner.

The green dollar bills seemed to exude an extremely attractive aroma.

Tian Ming was immediately full of energy: "Over "Singer", Zhou Chuanxiong and Lin Zhixuan have already reached an agreement. Are you having an affair with Zhang Liangying? I didn't agree at first, but I heard that you invited me, so I didn't know why I relented. Several others are still hesitating.”

"."

Zhou Yutang looked innocent: "Brother Ming, don't talk nonsense, I just admire her."

I really have nothing to do with her, but I have an affair with her best friend.

One thing to say.

It is more difficult to do the show "Singer" than "The Voice".

First of all, it is not that easy to invite guests.

Going to "The Voice" means sitting in a chair as a mentor, which is a symbol of identity and status in the music industry.

But in "Singer", you have to compete with other singers. This is a bit of a burden for singers with status, because if you lose, it will hurt your face.

After talking about the variety show, Zhou Yutang stayed in the Magic City for the night.

Liu Shishi was filming in Hengdian. He managed his time perfectly and had a night of fun with the beauty in Tsing Yi. Needless to say, this matter needs no further mention.

The next day, I returned to the capital and negotiated with Zhang Yiming to start moving into a new company building.

at the same time.

I also received a stack of film appointments from Li Shuang.

Zhou Yutang's debut film, directed and acted in, grossed more than 200 million in box office across the Taiwan Strait and three places.

In the second movie, he single-handedly took on the leading male role and set a box office record for domestic movies.

Now some people in the industry jokingly claim that the name Zhou Yutang alone represents a box office base of at least 80 million yuan.

Therefore, for other actors, they need to develop various connections to win an audition opportunity.

But for Zhou Yutang, this is not the case.

The father of various investors directly sent the script and the generous salary contract to Jiangdong Film and Television Company.

At present, the company has received dozens of film contracts, allowing them to choose from.

""Sword Rain Jiang Hu", is that right, Sister Shuang?"

After reading for a long time, Zhou Yutang's attention was attracted by a script on his desk, and he said with some surprise: "Director Su Zhaobing, why did producer Wu Yusen think of inviting me to be the starring role?"

Li Shuang explained with a smile: ""Swordsman" is invested by Galloping Pony Pictures and Media Asia Group. Mr. Li of Galloping Pony has appointed you to star. Wu Baige has to endure his displeasure. The remuneration quotation is 8 million, as long as you Nod, we can talk again."

In the past two years in the Mainland, the salary of a first-line star for a movie was about one to two million.

But as time progresses and the film and television entertainment industry develops, stars' salaries also begin to increase.

For example, Zhou Xun's salary for "The Wind" was 4 million, and Li Binbin's salary was about 3.8 million. It has increased a bit this year, but it is not so scary.

After Zhou Yutang's "Agent", his reputation soared, and the salary he received was almost equivalent to that of top stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Big Dog Brother is really interesting.

Not only was he given the top domestic salary quotation, but he also made it clear that he was willing to hand over the script to Zhou Yutang, and was even willing to give up part of the box office share to Zhou Yutang.

"Help me figure it out, I'll go there myself."

Zhou Yutang thought for a while and went to the Pony Club.

Big Dog Brother is so loyal, he is not a ruthless person, not to mention that the two of them had been chatting well before, so they need to communicate well about this matter.

I also met a celebrity named Chen Ergou in the club.

This person became famous in one fell swoop with "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast" and is known as the number one gangster writer. He seems to have a bit of a gangster spirit. He was hired by Big Dog Brother and his current position is special assistant.

This is Zhou Yutang's first time here, and Chen Ergou is obviously also very interested in young people who have become prominent recently.

When we met, we exchanged polite greetings as usual, congratulated Zhou Yutang on passing Magnolia, and sat down to chat about "Sword Rain Jiang Hu".

"Swordsman" is a script written by Su Zhaobing. As the director of "Crisis" and the screenwriter of "Two Eyes", he still has some abilities.

This book was prepared at the beginning of the year. It happened that after Wu Baige's "Red Cliff" failed miserably, his reputation in the mainland was very bad, so he went to Wan Province to recover from his injuries. As a result, he fell in love with this project and helped to attract investment from Media Asia.

"Yu Tang, are you interested in working on this project together?"

Big Dog Brother valued Zhou Yutang very much, and he increased the salary extremely arrogantly: "I can increase your salary to 10 million, and leave the script to you to revise. As long as you come over, you can decide which actors you want."

Damn it!

Chen Ergou was shocked.

Boss, you are really bleeding profusely.

Ten million plus some more is enough to hire Tony Leung.

"Brother Big Dog, I really don't have a schedule."

Zhou Yutang smiled bitterly and shook his head, then asked, "How about investing in this project?"

I don’t have time to participate in the show, but I can invest.

He has read this script, and the story is good. If the script is given to him to revise, there is a high probability that he can make money.

He is now the cash king of Jiangdong. He probably still has tens of millions left after buying a house. As long as it is a profitable project, it is worth investing in.

Money begets money is the way to go.

"What, brother, do you have any ideas?"

Brother Big Dog's eyes lit up: "We made a cost budget, about 50 million, and Media Asia is only willing to contribute 15 million. I invested half of it, which is just shy of it. If you participate in the investment, the remaining share will be given to you."

"Can."

Zhou Yutang thought for a while: "Leave the script to me and let Wu Yusen leave."

"Haha, I almost forgot that you have a feud with Wu Baige. That's no problem."

Brother Big Dog slapped his thigh and agreed without thinking.

Although Wu Yusen is still the great director of the previous era, he has just messed up the big project "Red Cliff", which is somewhat unlucky.

Zhou Yutang is a ruthless man who single-handedly carried 500 million in box office, and is the youngest person to win the Magnolia Best Screenplay Award.

On one side are the remnants of the old era, and on the other are the big ships of the new era.

Even though Big Dog was blindfolded, he knew it was time to get on the boat.

Chen Ergou reminded vaguely: "Brother Gou, Media Asia is an investment by Wu Baigela. Yang Ziqiong and Yu Wenle are both related to Media Asia. If we kick him out, there may be some explanation at that time."

"With Yu Tang here, are you still worried about not investing?"

Brother Big Dog glanced at Chen Ergou in surprise.

Although it is a pity that Zhou Yutang was not cast as the leading actor, but with Zhou Yutang writing the script, there was no need to go out to attract investment for this project. As long as it was released, I am afraid that a lot of film and television companies in the industry would rush to invest money.

Now Zhou Yutang is like the God of Gamblers at the gambling table.

Everyone wants to bet with him and make sure they make money without losing money.

After agreeing on the cooperation intention, Zhou Yutang returned to the company with the script.

After watching it carefully, the original story setting is novel and interesting, and it is a rare Gulong-style martial arts film with a female perspective.

The male and female protagonists change their faces together, and the characters Lei Bin and Cai Shi are all outstanding.

But upon closer inspection, there are more or less problems.

Zhou Yutang opened Word, pondered for a while, and directly marked several areas in the script that needed improvement.

First, the character and behavioral motivations of Blackstone’s leader, Chakravartin, need to be further rationalized.

Secondly, regarding the relationship between Lu Zhu and Zhang Renfeng, why did he insist on stalking Xiao Yu? The motivation is not obvious.

Third, why did Zhang Renfeng’s strength suddenly improve so many years later?

Fourthly, the character design of Xianqing has been changed. He takes off his clothes at every turn and looks like an exhibitionist and psychopath.

Write about this character.

A pretty figure appeared in Zhou Yutang's mind.
