Entertainment: I really want to make progress

There is a surprise.

Not necessarily happy.

In the past few charity nights of Bazaar, Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei had never met due to various reasons.

Last year was the promotion period for "My Love from the Star", and Zhou Yutang accompanied Liu Yifei to attend.

This year is great, both of them are here.

Actually, having said that.

The beauties who all hang out in the circle will meet one day sooner or later.

Zeng Li and Gao Yuanyuan met at an event. The two women were polite and courteous. Zhou Yutang was very suspicious of what Sister Li knew. After the event, she spent the night at her house and made an unprecedented request.

Yu Feihong rarely participates in these activities, but she did meet Liu Shishi on the set of "Sword Rain".

After Liu Shishi finished filming "Sword Rain", she repeatedly praised Yu Feihong for her beautiful appearance and excellent temperament, and he took good care of her during filming.

But this unprecedented meeting between Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi made Zhou Yutang, who had always been as steady as an old dog in situations, become a little calmer.

After coaxing Liu Shishi here, Zhou Yutang pondered for a while and called Li Shuang: "Sister Shuang, how is the matter being handled over there?"

"about there."

"Then you come back quickly and help me with the Bazaar Charity Night."

"What happened? Something happened?"

"What do you mean the "dangchuang incident" happened? I have to go to Xiangjiang to have a look. There is a lot of potential for this Academy Awards."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly.

"Haha, I believe it."

Sister Shuang gave a hearty smile: "How sure are you?"

"It depends on luck. Anyway, the chairman of the Academy Awards, Chen Jia Shang, owed Old Man Zou a favor."

The Hong Kong Film Awards has more than 2,000 judges, all of whom have participated in the production of films in front of and behind the scenes.

These judges conduct the first round of voting from the films released in the previous year and recommend the best film, best director and other awards in their hearts.

Then comes a second round of voting, with 100 senior filmmakers sifting through the results of the first round.

The last is the critical third round.

The 50 more senior and influential judges have the final say on the Academy Awards. They vote for each individual award from the results of the second round.

That is to say.

Under the current review system, only a few dozen people have the final say in the Academy Awards. Their personal tastes and preferences are likely to determine the award.

After explaining the crew's affairs, Zhou Yutang took the team straight to Xiangjiang.

After practicing in several dramas, Wen Muye and Zhou Yutang have a good understanding.

He's used to it too.

That's what it's like to have a top star as your boss.

Even if Zhou Yutang is on the crew, he still has a lot of other schedules, so basically the entire crew cooperates with him to arrange filming.

The producers were asked to adjust the filming schedule and shoot other scenes first, and then wait for Zhou Yutang to return to the crew before shooting his scenes.

In Xiangjiang, I met with the senior management of Jiahe, mainly for meetings.

The management of several important positions has been replaced by their own people.

Zou Wenhuai said he had quit, and his daughter Zou Zhongyan was still in the company, helping Zhou Yutang stabilize the situation.

Anyway, there is a professional team watching over the business side, and Zou Zhongyan is only responsible for the film production.

After several meetings, company affairs were quickly arranged, and Zhou Yutang did not forget to pay attention to news about the domestic film market.

The domestic film "Du Lala" suddenly emerged, taking in a box office of 66 million in ten days, basically locking in a box office of over 100 million.

However, these days, the box office of movies exceeding 100 million is not as shocking as it was a few years ago. Zhou Yutang directly brought the domestic box office record to more than 500 million. There were also many praises for Xu Jinglei, as one of the four major actresses , which can be regarded as proving one's ability.

Immediately afterwards.

The much-anticipated "Ip Man 2" was officially released with a first-day box office of 13.8 million. Judging from this first-day figure, breaking 100 million is a sure thing. As long as the box office performance during the May Day period is strong, there is even hope of hitting the two-digit box office billion box office.

"I can tolerate it for the sake of living, but I can't tolerate insulting Chinese martial arts!"

Huang Xiaoming is responsible for making jokes, and Universe Dan is responsible for showing off in fights, but this time instead of fighting ten, they fight foreign boxing champions.

"Congratulations, Boss Yang."

Seeing Zhou Yutang again in Xiangjiang, Boss Yang's face glowed brightly and he said with a hearty smile: "This time the box office performance is good. I hope that your "Sword Rain" will not lose too badly when I run into it in two days."

"Mr. Yang, you're welcome."

Zhou Yutang and Yang Shoucheng exchanged pleasantries and went directly to the topic, chatting about "Anti-Drug".

To say that Xiangjiang is best at the subject matter, it is the police film.

From McDonald's extremely realistic "Flag Soldiers" to Liu Weiqiang's epic "Infernal Affairs" trilogy, they are all undisputed classics.

However, after Xiangjiang's director entered the mainland market, he was not accustomed to the local environment and could not figure out what the mainland audience wanted to see. This is also a reality.

The reason why Zhou Yutang chose to make the film "Anti-Drug" is certainly not a joke.

The script outline he made tells the story of SIR, a member of the Narcotics Investigation Division, fighting against drug dealers, and he asked people in the screenwriting department to perfect the plot.

It's not amazing, but it's definitely a movie of above-average quality.

As long as the cost is controlled well, it is not difficult to make money. Since the project can make money, it is worth doing.

"We have made a project cost budget, and the total investment in this drama is 50 million."

"Jiahe accounts for 40% of the share."

"Yinghuang Group 20%."

"China Film Group 20%."

"20% from Shanghai Film Group."

We spent the afternoon communicating in Boss Yang's office, during which we made several phone calls. Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun both had no objections, and the investment was quickly finalized.

Boss Yang opened a bottle of red wine from his collection, poured it for Zhou Yutang, and asked: "Ah Tang, who does the director invite? Do you want Du Qifeng to come on?"

Zhou Yutang shook his head: "Just Chen Musheng."

Everyone knew that he and Wu Yusen didn't get along very well, and Du Qifeng was a scolding machine.

Such awesome people are not allowed to exist in Zhou Yutang's crew.

In comparison.

Director Chen Musheng, who he had worked with before, was still easy to get along with.

Yang Shoucheng was also curious: "You seem to get along well with Ah Sheng?"

"Director Chen is a good person."

Zhou Yutang smiled.

Chen Musheng is capable, has a good temper, and is more obedient. These qualities are enough.

Boss Yang took a sip of red wine: "As for actors, you can choose whoever you want from Yinghuang, but Goo Jai doesn't have any dates this year and may have to wait until next year."

Zhou Yutang shook his head slightly: "It's been too long. This project will be completed this year. The three protagonists, Su Jianqiu, Huang Xiaoming, Ma Haotian and Zhang Zhiwei, let's choose Liu Qingyun and Zhang Jiahui. There is Su Jianqiu's wife in the crew, who is in her thirties. Let Gao Yuanyuan come on."

"You are so nice to Xiao Ming."

Boss Yang's words seemed to have profound meaning.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from "Ip Man 2" that Huang Xiaoming has to be a supporting actor from Xiangjiang in the film co-produced by the two places. Zhou Yutang is giving Huang Xiaoming a hand.

Zhou Yutang was also very calm: "When I first debuted, Brother Xiao Ming helped me a lot."

There are benefits, of course, taking care of your own people.

This role requires people to be in their early thirties. Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun in the company are still young. Zhang Songwen's image and temperament are not suitable for action scenes, and they are still filming the main theme drama.

Huang Xiaoming has been talking about cooperation, but there has never been a chance. Now the opportunity will come. Gao Yuanyuan is also Zhou Yutang's good sister. By the way, Re Yi Zha will also be included to play a female sir.

"You make up your mind."

Boss Yang looked at Zhou Yutang with admiration in his eyes: "But Xiao Ming is so busy, does he have a schedule?"

Yinghuang has benefited a lot from cooperating with Zhou Yutang in more than a few movies.

Yang Shoucheng himself is a businessman who values ​​​​loyalty. When he meets Zhou Yutang, who values ​​love and justice, he naturally finds it quite appealing.

Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "I will communicate with him, there will be no problem."

Anyway, Huang Xiaoming is also a model worker in the entertainment industry, so it doesn't matter if he works hard.

certainly.

The most important thing is that Principal Gu's salary is 7 to 8 million, while Huang Xiaoming's salary is only 2 to 3 million, which highlights a high cost performance.

As a boss, you must control costs.

"Let's watch your "Sword Rain" next."

"Mr. Yang, after the "Ip Man 2" series, there will be "Ip Man 3". The next one will invite the Tyson boxing champion to come over. It will definitely be a hit at the box office."

"It seems like there's something going on."

Boss Yang's eyes lit up and he nodded thoughtfully.

The villain boss Tornado in "Ip Man 2" is a little-known foreign actor, and no one in China has heard of his name.

But it's different when it comes to the Tyson boxing champion. At least he has a lot of popularity in China.

Magic City.

Harper's Bazaar Charity Night.

The appearance of Halle Berry in Black Pearl is a highlight.

But Liu Yifei wore a golden sequined long skirt, which was elegant and eye-catching, and even more fairy-like.

Liu Shishi wore a white floral dress tonight, which was gentle and elegant, and also surprised many people.

The two girls looked at each other as they entered, and it seemed like time had stopped for a few seconds.

After looking at the other person, he nodded and smiled in a polite and friendly manner.

"Hello, Yifei."

"Hello, Shi Shi."

After the greetings, there was no chance to chat more because everyone was not seated together.

Liu Shishi was waiting with her best friends Tang Yan and Huang Xiaoming, while Liu Yifei was sitting with Yang Mi, Zhou Xun and others.

Zhou Xun said: "Yifei, let me tell you, Jiangdong Entertainment has recruited a very good-looking newcomer this year."

"Does it look good?"

Liu Yifei became a little interested, and even Yang Mi came over to take a look.

Zhou Xun nodded: "This year I have accepted two girls from Northern Xinjiang and sent them to the mountain school. One of them has just come of age this year. I heard that Zhou Yutang is planning to promote her to the top. She is indeed very good-looking, and the other one has a very good acting talent. "

"Sister Zhou Xun, do you have any photos?"

"I have pictures of them in class on my phone."

Zhou Xun took out his mobile phone from his small bag and flipped through it with interest.

"Well, it is indeed beautiful."

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi nodded together.

Even if they were very confident in their looks, when they saw Guli Naza, they had to admit that Naza's looks were really good.

"When did Yang Mi become so close to her?"

Although the seats were not divided together, Tang Yan leaned out and looked over there frequently.

Seeing that Damimi and Liu Yifei seemed to be chatting about some happy topic, covering their mouths and smiling softly, they suddenly frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

Liu Shishi's sitting posture is elegant and upright, but very calm: "Mimi has acted with Liu Yifei on the set of "My Love from the Star", and the two have a good relationship."

At that time, in order to find out news about the crew of "My Love from the Star", the two of them often chatted.

After chatting privately with Tang Yan for a while, Liu Shishi turned to Huang Xiaoming and asked, "Brother Xiaoming, I heard that Yu Tang has chosen you to play the male lead in that movie?"

"yes."

Huang Xiaoming smiled and nodded: "Just for me, Yu Tang specifically put down her work on the crew and went to Xiangjiang to chat with Mr. Yinghuang Yang for a long time. I really want to thank him."

"Yu Tang often says that you help him a lot and he regards you as his brother."

A gentle smile appeared on Liu Shi Shi's beautiful little face.

"From now on, I have to rely on Yu Tang to protect me."

Huang Xiaoming shook his head and said with emotion: "Shi Shi, "Sword Rain" is about to be released. Are you going to go on a road show?"

"Um."

Liu Shishi nodded.

"I wish you a great box office success."

Huang Xiaoming looked at Liu Shishi and sighed in his heart.

He knew Zhou Yutang could play, but he didn't expect Zhou Yutang to be so good at it.

In the past two years, he had sat with Zhou Yutang at the Harper's Bazaar Charity Night. During this period, many female celebrities came to Zhou Yutang with flattering intentions.

In the glitz and glamor of Vanity Fair, this kind of networking is inevitable.

But Huang Xiaoming has a very high emotional intelligence, and he can tell that last year's Liu Yifei and this year's Liu Shishi's attitude toward Zhou Yutang was different from other women who wanted to please.

As soon as we talked about Zhou Yutang.

Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi had exactly the same reaction, always with a faint smile on their faces.

That smile showed the girl's sincere love.

The king's style.

I am not as good as me.

Huang Xiaoming was truly convinced.

Taking advantage of the opening song "Nobody" by the South Korean group Wondergirls to boost the atmosphere, Huang Xiaoming, while looking at Bai Huahua's thighs, took the time to lower his head and send a message to Zhou Yutang:

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem for now."

Zhou Yutang was in Xiangjiang and also watched the live video of the Charity Night.

Li Shuang had a very good relationship with Su Mang. Besides asking her to donate, he also communicated with Su Mang in advance.

There were probably more than 400 people present, with about 8 people sitting at each table.

The seats at the charity night were slightly adjusted in advance to prevent Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi from pulling each other's hair while sitting at the same table.

On one side, Zhou Xun, Yang Mi and others who have a good relationship with Liu Yifei were arranged. On the other side, Liu Shishi's best friend Tang Yan and good brother Huang Xiaoming and others were arranged.

Although he does charity in a low-key manner, the money he spends is real money, and he has been repeatedly praised by the official media. Su Mang also knows how to be a good person.

Zhou Yutang was one of the first "China's Top Ten Star Volunteer Awards" awarded by Harper's Bazaar Charity Night. In addition to him, Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei also received this award.

Overall.

This meeting between Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei was relatively calm and nothing happened.

After it was over, I called Liu Tianxian at the right time, and then chatted with Liu Shishi at night.

Applying time management to the extreme, Zhou Yutang hung up the phone when he heard Liu Shishi's gentle and long breathing from the other side of the phone.

Soon the day of the awards ceremony arrived.

afternoon.

I was interviewed by the Xiangjiang broadcaster at the hotel.

"Mr. Zhou, you are now the major shareholder of Jiahe. Do you have any plans to naturalize in Xiangjiang?"

"No."

Zhou Yutang answered simply: "Let's talk about the Academy Awards."

Jiahe in Xiangjiang is just a springboard for him, just like the South Korean branch.

The reporter asked again: ""The Lonely Agent" won a lot at the Golden Horse Awards. It was nominated for 16 Academy Awards. Can you predict how many awards it will win in the end?"

"Haha, I don't have to say this. It still depends on the judges. I hope you won't leave empty-handed."

"Last year the Golden Horse Award nominee was ultimately defeated. Are you confident this time?"

"I think all the nominees have a chance."

Zhou Yutang looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he wanted to give this guy a big showdown.

It’s really a matter of not picking up the pot. I ended the interview in a few sentences. I met Ren Dahua unexpectedly. The two of them came up and hugged each other.

"Brother Hua, what have you been busy with lately?"

"I was filming "Thieves of Time" and I just took a leave of absence from the crew."

"What a coincidence, so am I. As soon as "Big Shot" started filming, I left the crew behind and came over."

"You are the boss, not like me, a wage earner."

We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so it’s natural to catch up on old times.

This time Simon Yam's "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai" was nominated for Best Actor, and Mr. Wang Xuexi's performance in "October Siege" was also nominated for Best Actor. The remaining two nominations were for "Eavesdropping" Mr. Liu, an enthusiastic citizen of "The Storm", and Aaron Kwok of "The Murderer".

Among the five Best Actor nominees, three are old friends. Zhou Yutang is the youngest and has a lot of nice words to say.

Simon Yam praised him for being young and promising, and Zhou Yutang praised Yam for his profound acting skills.

Anyway.

The politeness of adults is business talk.

I was enjoying myself here when a gust of fragrant wind blew my face. Fan Xiaopang came up and asked, "Yu Tang, what are you talking about with Mr. Ren? Are you so happy?"

"I won't interrupt you to communicate with the beautiful woman."

Ren Dahua patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder and gave him a meaningful look, which was very insightful.

"Sister Binbin, aren't you tired?"

There was still some time before the award ceremony started, so Zhou Yutang sincerely greeted Teacher Fan.

I just attended the Harper's Bazaar Charity Night there and flew straight to Hong Kong the next day.

This girl really works hard.

Wherever there is a red carpet, there is her.

Hearing that it was over here, they gave the crew of "Big Shot" a week, and then she had to go to the red carpet at the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.

The excited look on his face left Zhou Yutang a little speechless.

Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei have privately complained to him more than once that female celebrities are very tired walking on the red carpet.

Don't look at simple red carpet looks. You need to prepare for many days in advance. First, the team confirms the style, then looks at the suitability, and all kinds of messy things.

If a female celebrity wants to change her look, it will take at least half a day from washing her hair to styling and applying makeup.

At one Cannes Film Festival, Fan Xiaopang estimated that he had to change more than a dozen sets of clothes, which is equivalent to the red carpet looks of other artists in a year.

"Hey, Yu Tang, what do you think I look good in in Cannes?"

In the evening, the two walked together on the red carpet. Fan Xiaopang happily flipped through the dresses prepared by her team. Zhou Yutang was dazzled when she saw a bright yellow dress and pointed at it:

"I'll wear this when the time comes."

This costume designer is really talented. He made a dragon robe dress, which is very eye-catching.

"Ahhh! Zhou Yutang!"

"Ah Tang looks so good when she smiles!"

"Zhou Yutang is the Asian male god."

"Professor Zhou, I like you!"

When it comes to the much-loved red carpet, today Zhou Yutang is still wearing an Armani haute couture black suit, and Fan Xiaopang next to her is wearing a black tube top dress.

It was specially designed according to Fan Xiaopang's figure. The waist was tightened and relaxed, giving the overall figure a vase-like figure.

Teacher Fan was a professional on the red carpet. She put on various poses in front of the media reporters and said enviously in Zhou Yutang's ear:

"You haven't been here before, have you? Why are there so many fans?"

"How would I know."

Zhou Yutang is not inferior to Teacher Fan in the slightest, with a tall and straight posture, and a faint smile always hanging on his clear and stern cheeks.

No matter how bright the flash was, he never blinked.

Those eyes were so deep that they looked like they could kill someone.
