Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Can we still have a pleasant chat?"

Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a smile: "Tangtang, are you too imitated to praise me so highly?"

If it were Tang Yan in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" two years ago, she would never say these words.

Reality teaches girls to grow up.

"Really, I'm not lying to you."

Tang Yan spoke in a soft and sweet tone: "Some people know that I know you, and they even try their best to ask me to date you."

"Wu Kebo?"

"how do you know?"

"hehe."

Zhou Yutang put down his cup and said with a half-smile, "I don't need to eat. I'm not familiar with him."

Cai Yinong has been in the industry for a long time, and he vaguely felt that the two people were not having any problems, so he changed the subject: "Come on, Yu Tang, let's eat vegetables. You haven't had the sweet and sour short ribs from this restaurant for a long time, right?"

Tang Yan was also very discerning and never mentioned Wu Kebo again.

The meal was almost done. Zhou Yutang put down his chopsticks and slowly wiped his face with a wet towel: "Sister Cai, you invited me to have dinner today. I just want to talk to you about something."

"Yu Tang, what do you say?"

When Cai Yinong heard this, his heart moved slightly.

"I want to invest in Tangren Film and Television."

"."

Tang Yan, who was still smiling, suddenly became quiet and looked at Zhou Yutang.

Snap.

Cai Yinong lost her chopsticks and dropped them on the table: "Are you kidding? Are you serious?"

Zhou Yutang saw that she picked up the chopsticks with a surprised expression, which was quite exciting. He chuckled and said: "I never joke. Of course I only buy shares and it will not affect your decision-making in the company."

Be serious! ?

Tang Yan originally thought it was a joke.

But his eyes unconsciously fell on Zhou Yutang's handsome face, and he found that his expression was extremely serious, which made him feel shocked.

The topic of the chat between Zhou Yutang and Cai Yinong involved the company's capital level.

This is not the time to interrupt.

"Sister Cai, what do you think of the development of the film and television industry?"

"The changes are so fast, so fast that I feel a little unfamiliar."

Cai Yinong shook her head. She had asked Zhou Yutang this question last year when capital was pouring into the film and television industry.

"Has someone approached you and asked for Tang Ren's shares?"

"Well, there are two companies that want to take Tangren's shares."

Cai Yinong replied thoughtfully.

Zhou Yutang said: "Sister Cai, please think about it, I am serious. This year "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will be released, and the "Step by Step Shocking" project will start immediately."

"You mean"

Cai Yinong's eyes lit up.

After hearing that Zhou Yutang's "The Legend of Zhen Huan" project was launched, she also had the idea of ​​"Bu Bu Jing Xin".

This novel was the initiator of the Qingchuan trend. When it was serialized on the Internet, its total click-through rate exceeded 20 million, and its reprint click-through rate exceeded 100 million.

but.

The copyright has long been owned by Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang said slowly: "Yes, if we can talk, then we can do it together."

The implication is also obvious.

If you are willing to cooperate.

Then people from Tang Dynasty can participate in this project.

Otherwise, forget it.

The movie "Let's Get Married" the year before last took advantage of the marriage theme of "Golden Wedding" and became an instant hit.

Now "Bu Bu Jing Xin" can also follow "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to eat meat.

Cai Yinong was extremely excited. After all, he still did not make a decision. He only said: "I want to go back and have a meeting to discuss the decision. I will give you an answer in three days, three days at the latest."

Zhou Yutang wants to join the management of Tangren Film and Television. This involves the fundamental interests of the company, and it cannot be decided with a slap on the thigh.

She is the major shareholder of the company, and there are other shareholders such as Li Guoli in the company.

"I will be here for the next week, and then I may fly directly to Xiangjiang."

"Don't the Hong Kong Academy Awards only start in April? You can go there at this time."

Cai Yinong seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils suddenly shook: "Could it be Zou?"

Halfway through her words, Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "Haha, an old friend asked me to have a sandwich at the Peninsula Hotel. I want to try it."

"."

Tang Yan was speechless as she listened to the two Riddlers, not really understanding them.

So she launched a decisive attack.

Relying on his long legs, he quietly stretched out from under the table.

He rubbed Zhou Yutang's calf through his clothes and pants.

Zhou Yutang turned her eyes, but her expression was innocent, as if nothing had happened.

This little goblin!

Zhou Yutang was not polite, spread his legs, and immediately clamped the slender leg tightly, but asked calmly: "Sister K, you have stayed in Xiangjiang for a long time, do you have any food recommendations? ?”

Cai Yinong looked at Zhou Yutang with meaningful eyes: "Youjia Rongji Noodles on Clear Water Bay Road is very good. I went there some time ago in Xiangjiang. The taste is very good. I will send you the address later."

At this time, Tang Yan was trying to pull her legs back under the table, but they didn't move at all and could only look over with pleading eyes.

It was just a joke.

If Cai Yinong really saw it, she would die on the spot.

Zhou Yutang was unmoved, and chuckled leisurely: "I will definitely try it when I have the chance."

Then the two of them stopped talking about buying shares.

But everyone knows it.

The dinner is almost over here.

Cai Yinong walked out of the hotel and watched Zhou Yutang get into the nanny car. He paused and murmured, "Is he doing this for Shi Shi?"

"Could he be doing this for Shi Shi?"

After coming out of the hotel to say goodbye to Zhou Yutang, Tang Yan always had a sweet smile on her face, but she could wait until she went back to her home to find her mother.

The smile on Tang Yan's face disappeared instantly.

My heart was even more turbulent and I couldn't calm down at all.

It's not because of the leg-clamping scandal.

But for some reason, she suddenly had this idea, as if a villain was shouting in her ears, and the sound echoed endlessly.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

How could Zhou Yutang do this for a woman?

Tangren Film and Television is not as big as those big companies, but it is also a very famous private film and television company.

Could it be that Zhou Yutang made Liu Shishi famous and still wants to be her boss and continue to pamper her?

Tang Yan was a little dizzy.

How could Zhou Yutang be so affectionate?

Why is my best friend’s life so good? Did she save the earth in her previous life?

Countless questions like this exploded in Tang Yan's heart.

She couldn't convince herself to calm down.

Woman herself is a very strange creature.

When a best friend is having a bad day, she will hope that she will have a better life, as if this can give her some kind of comfort in her heart.

But if your best friend lives a better life than you, and is several levels better than you, you won’t think so.

Liu Shishi's movie is about to be released, and he is going around to promote it. On the other hand, he is just a guest star, and he is not even qualified to appear on a popular variety show. Also, because of the dismal results of several major film and television productions last year, his resources are showing signs of downgrading. .

"If Zhou Yutang is so good to me, I will definitely be better to him. I will be a good mother to my husband and children at home and do housework for Zhou Yutang."

Tang Yan's mind was in a mess, and her heart felt like a lemon had been squeezed open, with juice overflowing. There was always a sour feeling lingering in her heart.

"How about it, Tangtang."

Tang Yan got into the car thoughtfully. Her manager Ji Rujing had been waiting in the car and asked anxiously, "Has he agreed to have dinner with Mr. Wu?"

"Go back to Mr. Wu, Yu Tang didn't agree."

Tang Yan replied weakly.

What Wu Kebo, go away, I feel very sad now.

"Ah? He doesn't even give you face?"

"I am a young actor, how can I have any dignity?"

Tang Yan smiled nonchalantly. She wanted to ask Ji Rujing about what happened just now, but she opened her mouth but paused.

This can be regarded as Zhou Yutang's business secret.

And Ji Rujing is from Chengtian Culture.

It seems that Zhou Yutang has some opinions on Wu Kebo.

This cannot be said.

"Tangtang, there's something wrong with your expression. Do you want to say something?"

Ji Rujing was also a veteran. He immediately noticed that Tang Yan was absent-minded and something was wrong, so he immediately asked.

"When we were eating just now, he pinched my leg."

Tang Yan said in a strange way: "But I took the initiative."

"ah!?"

Ji Rujing's pupils were shocked, but he soon calmed down: "In the entertainment industry, this kind of thing is normal, don't take it to heart. If you are not involved in the Hong Kong industry, there will still be chaos there. For a small role, you will sleep with the director." normal"

"Isn't Zhou Yutang having a new movie? Take the initiative and ask him if he has a role and make an appearance in it."

"Um."

The unmasked humble Tangtang nodded.

Cai Yinong, who had just returned home, immediately called Li Guoli and discussed in detail what had been discussed at the dinner.

"Now it seems that the tabloids are not talking nonsense. Zhou Yutang and Mr. Zou have always been in communication. What do you think, Lao Li, about buying a stake in Tangren?"

"It doesn't matter what I think. The company's shareholders will definitely agree."

Li Guoli on the other side of the phone smiled bitterly and said, "Let me ask you, is more 10% of one hundred million, or more than 10% of one billion?"

Very simple reason.

According to the development trend of Tangren Film and Television in the past two years, the annual profit is tens of millions. If Zhou Yutang's entry can make the plate bigger, the more cake everyone can get.

"Lao Li, do you think he did this for Liu Shishi?"

"How is that possible? I think you women's way of thinking is a bit strange." Li Guoli said with a smile.

"How to say?"

"You think Zhou Yutang is too simple."

Li Guoli explained: "Based on my understanding of his style of doing things, he may have a good relationship with Liu Shishi, but he will never do anything to harm his own interests for a woman."

"Think more about Yufen and Xiao Song. You also know about Zhouyi Company, right?"

"Know."

"It turns out that Zhang Jing and his wife from Zhouyi Company have joined Jiangdong Entertainment. Zhang Jing became the head of the martial arts department. He also appeared in Shi Shi's "Sword Rain", and his wife seems to be in that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" as well. "I played an important role in it."

"Liu Bei used to borrow Jingzhou, but now his status and strength are different, so he just spends a lot of gold to buy horse bones."

Li Guoli continued: "Look at it, Zhou Yi has internal and external troubles, and the airs are about to fall apart. Jiang Xueruo's capital chain is under great pressure and cannot survive at all. Zhou Yutang is determined to eat this piece of meat."

"Mr. Jiang is also very capable."

Thinking of the strong woman who was as famous as herself, who was gradually eliminated by the market and ended up in such a situation, Cai Yinong also felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

How could she not know that people from her company were poached by Zhou Yutang?

But even if she knew, there was nothing she could do to stop this from happening.

The reason is very practical and simple.

Those people who followed Zhou Yutang and did the same job could earn much more and have much better development prospects than they did in the Tang Dynasty.

Lin Yufen, who had followed Zhou Yutang there early, had already bought a house in the capital and was a well-known director in the industry.

Song Xiaotao and Mao Jianxin also bought houses in Shanghai last year, and they both bought houses at the bottom before house prices rose after Zhou Yutang's suggestion.

So some old employees of Tangren Film and Television were very envious when talking about this matter, and Cai Yinong himself had heard about it a little bit.

"Jiang Xuezhen is very capable. It seems like it was only yesterday when we competed with Zhou Yi."

"Old Li, do you think the Tang people will be like Zhouyi Company?"

"Times have changed."

Li Guoli said sincerely: "Now is the era of capital. A company like ours that focuses on drama production will lose money if the dramas it produces are not recognized by the market. If it does not follow the general trend, it will slowly be ruthlessly eliminated." Elimination, this is the law of the film and television market, and it has been like this for decades from Hong Kong to the mainland."

"Then let's settle the matter at the shareholders' meeting tomorrow. Tang people don't have the ability to make movies. With Zhou Yutang here in the future, and with this additional relationship, maybe Hu Ge will have a chance to enter the big screen."

"From the current point of view, this may be the best result. Zhou Yutang is at least a good character, isn't he?"

"When you were on the set of Fairy Sword, did you ever think that today would happen?"

Li Guoli stroked his forehead and said with a smile: "God knows how he made such rapid progress?"

…

"Yu Tang, have you talked to Cai Yinong?"

Li Shuang received a call from Zhou Yutang: "How is it? Has she promised you?"

"I don't think she can say no."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "I don't want many shares, so I will definitely agree in the end."

"As long as she agrees, the Tang people will still have the last name Zhou."

"Haha, take your time."

Speaking of Zhou Yi Company, Zhou Yutang asked with a smile: "Actually, Zhou Yi's team is no worse than Tang Ren's. How is the discussion over there?"

"Jiang Xuezhen wants to have a chat with you."

"Wait until I come back from Xiangjiang."

"By the way, Yu Tang, the box office split for "The Lonely Agent" has arrived, and the split for "Youth" may have to wait until the end of the year."

"Oh, what do you say?"

Zhou Yutang suddenly became energetic.

"The mainland's box office revenue is 528 million, 60% of which is taken away by theaters, and the remaining tax and miscellaneous things are deducted, which is more than 30%, after deducting costs and publicity expenses. Of course, our movie advertising revenue is very high, which is absolutely fine Offsetting costs and publicity expenditures”

"In the end, the mainland box office revenue was about 210 million yuan."

"After counting the revenue sharing in Xiangjiang and Bend provinces, 33 million was recorded. In Thailand and South Korea, after deducting local publicity and distribution, the revenue was about 78 million.

"The total box office account is at least 320 million yuan. Excluding the shares of China Film, Enlight, and Yinghuang, and counting the DVD audio and video copyright, the company's 40% share is 128 million yuan."

"Not bad."

Zhou Yutang also did the math, and it was probably this number.

He is personally very satisfied with the result.

a movie.

The interests of all parties have been coordinated.

It also established Jiangdong Entertainment’s position in the film and television industry.

The key is that this project achieves staggering profits several times the cost.

Just the income from this project.

He now had the confidence to talk to Zou Wenhuai.

I just finished chatting with Li Shuang.

The phone screen lit up again.

Zhou Yutang looked at the caller number with a slightly surprised expression.
