Entertainment: I really want to make progress

July 22 this day.

Everything is as usual.

There was a meeting at the company in the morning. Xu Ming, the manager of the TV drama department, was in high spirits and gave a stage work report with a red face:

"Mr. Zhou, the average ratings of the fourth season of "Welcome Together" that was just aired were 2.38%, and the viewership share accounted for 8.51%, ranking second in the same time period."

"Well, how are the preparations for "Shanshan Is Coming" going?"

Zhou Yutang is quite satisfied with the ratings performance of the final season of the Classmates series.

After "Hello, Old Time" was aired, "Classmates 4" was subsequently aired on Mango Channel and received rave reviews, with ratings slightly higher than "Hello, Old Time".

After all, the "Classmate" series has accumulated a lot of fans in the first three seasons. Now that this is the last season, it has greatly aroused the enthusiasm of fans.

TV drama business department manager Xu Ming replied: "Zhao Liying's schedule has been coordinated, and the crew is in preparation. It is expected to start shooting next month. However, Zhu Yilong's "Hawthorn Tree Love" will be released in September, and Director Zhang asked him to attend. Promotional campaign for the movie.”

"When the time comes to speed up the filming process, how are the commercial talks going?"

"The marketing department of "Shanshan is Coming" has negotiated a total of 8 million yuan in advertising sponsorship for clothing, snacks, etc."

"Keep talking."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "We can talk about cars and digital products."

The two leading actors in this drama, Zhao Liying, are not well-known, but Zhu Yilong is already considered a popular niche in the industry, especially since he just starred in the movie "National Master", which is gaining momentum and will definitely be favored by many advertisers.

The male protagonist of this drama is a domineering CEO and can do a lot of advertising.

Xu Ming continued: "The progress of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is accelerating, and it may be completed in early August. Will TV stations be invited to watch the film then?"

"It's up to you. This is a palace drama with more than 70 episodes, and not many TV stations can take it."

Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers on the table: "It is estimated that several companies will join forces to eat. Let's talk to the three companies, namely Modu, Mango and Suzhou, in advance, and the rest will be handled according to the rules."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Xu Ming nodded and wrote down the matter: ""Snow Leopard" is scheduled to succeed "Classmates" and will be broadcast on the Mango Channel prime time in August. The promotion work is already in progress and will be broadcast in more than a dozen cities across the country. There are all landing activities”

This is also a type of TV drama promotion work, which involves interacting with local audiences, arranging staff to go into the community, and distributing relevant gifts to the audience to build popularity for the TV series.

"In the second half of the year, the TV drama business department will focus on "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Bu Bu Jing Xin". You will strengthen communication with Tang Dynasty and speed up preparations for "Bu Bu Jing Xin"."

"Understood, Mr. Zhou."

Xu Ming nodded simply.

Zhou Yutang was very satisfied with Xu Ming's sophistication.

This is a talent he hired with a high salary from another film and television company. He has been in the industry for nearly 20 years, has worked on many projects, and has a wide network of contacts.

After joining Jiangdong Entertainment, he adapted very quickly, and he managed several projects without any problems.

This year's film department has had a good start with "Sword Rain", and the TV series project is in full swing. The two youth dramas released in the first half of the year were both produced at a low cost, with both ratings and reputation. Each of them can bring 8 figures to the company. the above benefits.

The TV series "Snow Leopard" was also a TV series project of Jiangdong Entertainment in the first half of this year. It was acquired by Mango Channel at a price of 1.2 million for a single episode. It sold 48 million in the first round alone, directly recouping the cost, and there are two or three more to follow. Carousel screening rights and online broadcast rights, pre-roll advertising and DVD copyright income.

Zhang Ruojun and his own father were shocked.

In this drama, Zhang Zhen's father also joined Zhou Yutang's boat, taking 10% of the investment share and serving as the producer at the same time.

He has been in the film and television drama industry for many years, but he has never been so rich. He made more than 10 million in the first round alone, making money even while lying down.

Zhang Zhen’s father also felt Zhang Guoli’s happiness.

When you follow Zhou Yutang in film and television dramas, you don't have to worry about whether the cost will be recovered after the TV drama is produced. Jiangdong Entertainment is the golden brand, and some TV stations come to ask for cooperation.

Some time ago, he was particularly attentive to Zhou Yutang and enthusiastically invited him to his home to have a taste of Liu Bei's craftsmanship.

It’s hard to refuse such kindness.

Zhou Yutang only went there once.

But friendship is friendship, and business is business.

Zhang Zhen's father's current resources are not equivalent to Zhou Yutang's.

He wants to do a follow-up project, and Zhang Zhen’s father will basically have no chance to participate.

The company meeting ends.

Zhou Yutang received a call from the director of Mango Taiou Balcony in the office.

Since the launch of the variety show "Running Man", its popularity and reputation have continued to grow. The ratings of the latest episode have exceeded four.

The third season of "The Voice" on Mordu TV is about to be broadcast soon, and now Mango Channel has been squeezed into second place in the satellite TV ratings rankings.

Even the second place is not stable.

Jiangsu Provincial TV Station's "If You Are the One" and "The King of Masked Singer" have been on the rise recently, and the deputy director there, Zhou Ningfeng, is very close to Zhou Yutang.

The director of Ouyang Balcony couldn't sit still anymore and called frequently.

This year, Zhou Yutang's cooperation with Mango Channel has also been further deepened. The entire series of "Classmates" will be broadcast on Mango Channel, as well as the following "Snow Leopard".

I browsed the major forums on the Internet and found that the final season of the Classmates series has been discussed quite well.

"It's over, "Classmates" is over, and my youth is over."

"This drama accompanied me in college, and now I am about to enter society and face life."

"Goodbye, Mr. Lu, Mr. Ren, and Brother Zhong's trio of bandits."

"I'm suddenly very curious, what is life like for everyone in "Classmates" after they enter the society after college?"

"We are curious and strongly request the Governor to release a sequel!"

"+1 upstairs!"

Perhaps it is because of the power of emotion, or perhaps the script of the final season is very mature and continues the style of the first three seasons.

The final season of "Classmate" continues the excellent reputation of Jiangdong Entertainment's production as a high-quality product. The score on Douban is as high as 9.3 points. This score has exceeded the 9.1 points of the first season of the series. It may drop in the future, but not by much.

The power of emotion is very powerful.

"Classmate 4" tells the story of the protagonist group graduating in their senior year. Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong also graduate this year.

The wonderful thing about this series is that the two of them almost grew up at the same time as the two main characters Ren Yifan and Lu Qiaochuan in the show, so many fans commented online that their performances were extremely realistic.

No need to act.

Not only Lu Qiaochuan and Ren Yifan have grown up, but Zhong Bai, Lin Luoxue, Bi Shisan, Xiao Haiyang, Yu Hao and others have also become more mature.

Zhou Yutang logged into his account and posted on Weibo: "My deepest impression of this drama is a line from Lu Qiaochuan. There is an article in the primary school textbook called Pony Crossing the River. Pony wants to cross the river, Lao Ma said The river was very shallow. The squirrel said the river was bottomless. The pony stood in front of the river in a dilemma. Facing the river that was about to flow for four years, he suddenly felt that if you had to cross the river, the water would be deep and shallow for you. Is it still important? The story of "Classmates" has come to an end. I wish everyone a bright future."

Tang Yan, who was probably still picking her feet at home, was the first to comment and repost it on Weibo, followed by Yang Mi who also commented and retweeted it.

Jiangdong Navy is very awesome, and this Weibo post quickly became a hot search topic.

"Captain, I beg you on your knees for a sequel to "Classmates". I'm still not satisfied after watching it! /Crying/Crying!"

This is a comment on Zhou Yutang's Weibo, with hundreds of thousands of likes. Zhou Yutang also replied later: "The series "Staying Together" tells the story of four years of college. The story of graduation from college is just that. It’s over, but I might make a movie in the future.”

This operation is also very common in the film and television industry.

For example, Xu Jinglei's "Du Lala's Promotion" was also filmed as a TV series. The ratings were very good. Wang Luodan, who played Du Lala, was well received and attracted a lot of fans.

For a TV series like "Classmates" with a loyal fan base, if it makes a spin-off movie telling the story of the protagonists of "Classmates" after they enter social work, the box office will definitely not be bad.

As soon as the reply to the comment was posted, Tang Yan called immediately, her voice unable to contain the surprise: "Yu Tang, do you really want to make a "Classmates" series of movies?"

"Are you installing surveillance around me?"

"Why are you pretending to be under surveillance? I was just checking Weibo."

"Oh, I'm picking my feet at home."

"Don't say it so harshly. I just have less work schedule recently, but there are still crews looking for me."

Tang Yan's coquettish expression proved that she was very popular, and she continued to ask questions like a barrage of questions: "Yu Tang, is "Classmate" really going to be a movie? Is it the original cast? I have a schedule at any time."

Zhou Yutang smiled: "I just said that casually, the script hasn't been written yet."

Tang Yan's eyes were shining: "Is it still the script you made?"

"I'll write an outline and let the editorial department do it. I guess it will have to wait until next year."

Zhou Yutang laughed softly.

If it's just for fans, you can make money by just getting a book.

If he wants to make it as perfect as possible, he has to spend time polishing the script and story.

"Next year too."

Tang Yan smiled and said: "By the way, I almost forgot to wish you a happy birthday. I ordered a chocolate cake for you and will deliver it to your company later. Remember to collect it."

"You changed the topic a bit suddenly. Also, I really don't like cake."

"It's all settled, it's so valuable, and you won't get a refund even if you return it."

"It won't happen next time."

Zhou Yutang hung up the phone helplessly.

Making a series of "Classmates" movies was just an idea of ​​Zhou Yutang's, and the people in the screenwriting department below were worried about it.

As soon as this task was handed over to the screenwriting department, Yang Mi called again: "Yu Tang, why can't you get through to your phone?"

"We were just discussing business."

"I thought Tangtang was calling you, but her phone couldn't be reached either."

"Oh? What was Tang Yan just doing?"

"She said she was on the phone with her dad."

"."

Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly: "Don't you have an announcement in Hangzhou? Why did you call me when you have time?"

"I'm concerned about you. When will "Classmate" be made into a movie?"

"Next year, I'll work on the script first, and I'll let you know then."

"Hmm, there's one more thing."

Yang Mi's sweet voice said: "Today is your birthday. I ordered a cake for you. I didn't know what flavor you like, so I ordered a fruit-flavored cake for you."

"thank you."

Zhou Yutang opened his mouth, but still did not refuse.

Liu Tianxian, Liu Shishi, Zeng Li, and Gao Yuanyuan were not in the capital, but they did not forget Zhou Yutang's birthday and ordered birthday cakes in advance.

A long time passed.

Mao Xiaoyu happily entered his office holding several big cakes.

"Boss, there are a lot of cakes, with all kinds of flavors."

She was Zhou Yutang's personal assistant and knew the inside story. She said happily: "Oh, it's all love cakes. I can't finish them in a week."

"You leave some for me to take a photo with, and share the rest with my colleagues in the company."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead, feeling a little dizzy, and suddenly thought of something: "Xiaoyu, you can arrange the things I mentioned in advance this afternoon."

Women are like that, ritual is very important to them.

……………………

Liu Yifei wore sunglasses, a mask, and pushed her luggage out of the Beijing Airport in a low-key manner.

Passersby's eyes lit up.

Even though she was dressed simply and her face could not be seen clearly, her figure and temperament had an air of fairy-like air about her.

Before they could react, Liu Tianxian started running quickly and disappeared from their sight.

Celebrities usually make public announcements about their itineraries, and her fans only know that Liu Tianxian was filming an advertisement in another place and suddenly returned to the capital. Many people did not know.

After getting in the car, Liu Tianxian took off his sunglasses and mask, and then called Zhou Yutang: "Hey, Xiao Zhou, guess where I am?"

"Arrived in the capital?"

"Xiao Zhou, how did you guess that?"

Soon, Liu Tianxian saw Zhou Yutang, his eyes were as bright as stars, full of surprise: "I told you clearly that I am still in another place."

"Maybe there's a tacit understanding."

"Who has a connection with you? Even my mother doesn't know that I came back suddenly. Tell me quickly."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

Liu Tianxian asked for a long time to no avail, and began to hug Zhou Yutang and act cute and coquettish: "Please, please, tell me, Xiao Zhou."

"This is your itinerary."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "But if something goes wrong, you are a monster. You are out of town. You have asked me several times about my schedule for today in the past two days, so I guessed that you will definitely come back."

"You are so smart, Xiao Zhou."

Liu Tianxian curled his lips: "I originally wanted to appear in front of you suddenly, but you could guess it in advance, so there is no sense of surprise at all."

"Surprise is not defined by you."

Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Tianxian's waist, put her on his lap, and looked into those bright eyes: "Actually, my feeling told me that you will definitely come."

"You just like to talk nonsense."

Liu Tianxian said this with a smile on his face.

This girl seemed to be very fond of Malatang where they had their first dinner date, so Zhou Yutang activated his money skills and booked several shows.

Eat and play.

It’s time for the regular car ride.

However, Liu Tianxian tonight seemed a little different from before. Zhou Yutang asked tentatively: "Shall I take you home later?"

"No, I want to stay with you for a while."

Liu Tianxian rested her head on his shoulder: "By the way, didn't you say you had an appointment with Huang Xiaoming?"

"I told you in advance that we will make an appointment another day."

"I feel like you let him go because of me, and I feel a little guilty."

"Don't feel sorry. It was because he had made a date with the girl for a drink that he took the initiative to tell me to make the date another day."

"."

Liu Tianxian plucked the hair beside his ear, "Then what should we do next?"

"I'm a little tired and want to go to the hotel to take a nap."

"."

Click.

Zhou Yutang had just entered the hotel's presidential suite with his arms around Liu Tianxian's waist and front feet.

A light tap of the heel.

The heavy door slammed shut,

The two kissed passionately.

Zhou Yutang's hand fell on Liu Tianxian's waist and moved downwards.

A long time passed.

He noticed Liu Tianxian biting him gently before he separated.

Under the dim light, Liu Tianxian lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly: "Xiao Zhou, I'm a little scared."

Even if you have decided to do this in your heart, when you actually do it, you can't help but be afraid of shrinking back.

"Close your eyes first."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll do a magic trick for you."

Zhou Yutang held Liu Tianxian's small waist with one hand and leaned against the wall. With the other hand, he clicked off the light switch in the hotel room.

There seems to be a fresh fragrance in the silence in the darkness.

As expected, the girl closed her eyes obediently, and her mood gradually relaxed. After a few seconds, she asked curiously: "Xiao Zhou, are you okay?"

Snap.

The lights are on again.

Zhou Yutang loosened his hand around Liu Tianxian's waist: "Okay, you can open your eyes and see."

Liu Tianxian finally couldn't help but be curious and walked inside.

After taking a few steps, he stopped in place. That delicate and beautiful little face seemed to have been greatly shocked, and an expression of surprise gradually appeared.

At this moment.

Inside the hotel room.

The ground is covered with soft blankets.

On top of the blanket is a layer of fragrant petals.

Liu Tianxian didn't dare to step on it, for fear of destroying this beauty.

His gaze continued to extend.

Only then did I realize that the big white bed was also covered with rose petals.

"Xiao Zhou, how did you do it?"

Liu Tianxian was a little disbelieving. He reached out to pick up a few petals and smelled the fragrance. Only then did he realize that he was not dreaming.

"Because I wanted to see you, and because I just thought you wanted to see me too, I did this."

"Then where did you get so many roses?"

Liu Tianxian looked around. The whole room had become a sea of ​​flowers. Even the bathtub in the bathroom was covered with rose petals.

The exciting aroma floats throughout the space.

At that moment, her heart was lightly touched.

"I went to the Flower Garden in the suburbs of Beijing to pick them."

"Hate."

Liu Tianxian said he was disgusted, but he smiled to himself.

"It doesn't matter where you get them, it doesn't matter how you get them, as long as they make you feel happy, those rose petals have fulfilled their mission."

Listening to Zhou Yutang's light and gentle voice, looking at the deep eyes that reflected the sea of ​​stars, Liu Tianxian's heart seemed to have clusters of fireworks rising up to the sky with the beat of her heartbeat.

Then it bloomed with unparalleled brilliance.

She said nothing.

He took the initiative to hug the man who had fallen in love with him.

Give me a passionate and firm, fiery and brave kiss

Why can't you let it go?

Finally, a glimpse of Xiang Pavilion is close at hand.
