Entertainment: I really want to make progress

After making a hit movie.

You have to reward yourself with a piece of emotion.

In the past, in order to make progress, Zhou Yutang would take time out to write scripts at night after filming.

But now that I have a screenwriting studio under my belt, I have more resources at my disposal.

He only needs to outline the script and create the characters, and then let the screenwriting studio add and improve the story details according to his own ideas.

Bang bang bang!

Zhou Yutang clapped his hands, and everyone in the small conference room who was still whispering immediately fell silent.

"After reading the synopsis of this script, what do you think?"

"Crazy pursuit of stars, that is my lost youth and memories."

As the boss of the screenwriting department, I stood up and spoke without hesitation.

"The youth of our generation."

Everyone here felt the same way.

This script by Zhou Yutang is a youth drama aimed at the Chinese generation born in the 1980s. Although it has not been completed, the characters of the protagonists are already very distinct.

The stories that happened to these few people are touching enough and can resonate with everyone.

One can't help but think back to the past.

A lot of big things happened in 1997.

This year, the Internet just started to become popular.

This year, Xiangjiang returns.

But in the script outline written by Zhou Yutang, the timeline does not just stop at 1997.

There are stories about the reunion of the hero and heroine a few years later, and even the reunion of high school classmates later, interspersed with various details.

With the growth of the male and female protagonists in the TV series, it also reflects the changes of the entire era.

Everyone listened quietly as Zhou Yutang continued to speak.

"Next, according to the important task of the studio, you will complete the script of "Reply 1997"."

"If the ratings are acceptable after it is broadcast, we can consider making it into a series model."

In the nanny's car.

Yang Mi held the latest issue of "People of the Times" in her hand.

The cover photo of the magazine is Zhou Yutang.

Wearing a black slim-fitting suit, he rested his elbows on the table.

Crossing the fingers, a close-up of the front fully reflects the superiority of Zhou Yutang's cheeks.

Just like the superior lines carefully drawn by a sketch master, they are clear and cold.

Those deep eyes had a heart-stopping warmth, as if they glanced at others unintentionally and looked affectionate.

behind his back.

It is the box office figures of big shots.

The figures that set a box office record for Chinese movies are particularly dazzling.

It also seemed to give him an aura of distinction.

Yang Mi pursed her lips, flipped through two pages, then turned back to the cover, sizing up this guy.

It was her manager Zeng Jia's voice that brought her back to reality: "Mimi, hurry up and touch up your makeup, Mr. Zhou is here to see you."

Yang Mi suddenly became energetic.

Put the magazine in your hand aside.

Today is the launch conference of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". Bona has invested US$35 million in the 3D martial arts blockbuster, which has become extremely popular.

As one of the main actors, Yang Mi will of course also attend.

The key is that she also heard that Zhou Yutang will also attend today's press conference.

Seeing Zhou Yutang, Yang Mi stared at him with her dark and bright eyes. Zhou Yutang touched his cheek: "Is there anything?"

"No."

Yang Mi was embarrassed to say that she thought he was much more handsome in real life than he looked in the magazine, so she just asked: "When did you have such a good relationship with Bona's people?"

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said: "Wang Wei is a good man, we can chat easily."

The entertainment industry is already so big, especially the upper echelons of this industry.

Look down and see you when you look up.

He also had some thoughts and wanted to recruit Wang Wei from Bona Pictures to work.

After several contacts, I realized that this Viagra was really a top talent in the film and television industry. During this time, the relationship between the two was very hot.

"Yu Tang, I failed the audition for the "Thirteen Hairpins" crew."

Speaking of this, Yang Mi looked very disappointed.

"Don't be too greedy. Do the things you are doing well first."

Zhou Yutang is quite familiar with the work style of the National Master, and this time he said that he would use a new actress.

"When will "Palace" be filmed?"

"When the scene here is over, I will join the group directly."

Zhou Yutang withdrew his gaze from the skin that was as solid as snow at the neckline of Yang Mi's skirt, and chuckled: "This dress is good today."

Wearing a simple black suspender skirt, her hair that reaches her shoulders is slightly curled, which matches her tall figure and curves, and is really eye-catching.

"Thanks."

Women are always very sensitive to men's eyes sizing them up, and Yang Mi is no exception. She felt a little proud at the moment, and her tone became sweeter:

"Yu Tang, you just finished filming "Empire of Heaven" directed by Xu Keda on the National Day schedule. I heard that he has a close relationship with Wu Baige. Come over now. Are you afraid that he will have opinions about you?"

"You're thinking too much."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled: "How can there be so many opinions?"

No wonder Yang Mi has such doubts.

There are too many stories between Xu Ke and Wu Yusen.

Past grudges should not be pursued. At this year's Venice Film Festival, Xu Ke personally awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to Wu Yusen. The two exchanged grudges on the stage, which became a hot topic.

While communicating with Damimi, Wang Wei, the vice president of Bona Pictures, brought Xu Ke over to greet him: "Yu Tang, Cao Cao is here. I just told Director Xu about you."

"Director Zhou, I have long admired your name."

Xu Ke held Zhou Yutang's hand and shook it, with admiration in his eyes: "I watched "Big Shot" and it was very well shot."

"Director Xu, I grew up watching your movies."

Zhou Yutang was also very humble when carrying people in the sedan chair.

The unbeatable Dongfang Bubai in "The Swordsman".

"Once Upon a Time" series, "Dragon Inn", "Swordsman", "A Chinese Ghost Story".

There are really too many classics. The wild imagination of Xu Ke's works brings the audience a wonderful visual experience, which is indeed worth learning from.

Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, then he felt proud and smiled enthusiastically: "Let's communicate more in the future."

Although he has white hair, he still has his own ambitions and pursuits.

As for the feud between Zhou Yutang and Wu Baige, what does that have to do with him?

He will still have to make a living in the Mainland in the future. Seeing that Zhou Yutang is about to become a giant in the Mainland film and television industry, he must not offend him even if he actively approaches her.

Yang Mi stood beside Zhou Yutang obediently.

Listening to Zhou Yutang and Xu Ke introducing themselves, Yang Mi was actually a little flattered.

But before her eyes were as sweet as melted honey, Zeng Jia was soon called to take a photo.

There were quite a few acquaintances at today's press conference.

Zhou Xun came over, looked at Zhou Yutang with lively eyes, and asked thoughtfully: "Are you getting along with Yang Mi?"

"Sister Xun, don't joke, we are good friends."

"She almost touched you when she spoke."

"Yes? No, Yang Mi is an artist in my company. I will take her to meet the director."

"hehe."

Mr. Zhou, who has been in love for a long time, is not worthy of his reputation. He only smiled slightly and said nothing, and his big and smart eyes conveyed an obvious message.

You scumbag.

Zhou Yutang greeted Chen Kun without changing his expression.

From now on, it is the famous Xichangchanghua.

This kind of handsome guy with a feminine temperament is unique in the entire entertainment industry, and there is no meal replacement.

The kung fu emperor Li Lienjie has also arrived. Since "Huo Yuanjia" and "The Famous Man", he has never produced a good work.

I won't mention "The King of Kung Fu" much, but "Ocean Paradise" has a pretty good reputation.

I don't know what he thinks, but he recently made a guest appearance in "The Legend of White Snake".

When they met this time, after shaking hands, the two hugged each other familiarly and expressed their appreciation for each other in a polite manner.

Zhou Yutang inadvertently caught a glimpse of the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

Only then did I suddenly realize.

The Kung Fu Emperor has really aged a lot compared to previous years.

It seemed like my energy was suddenly drained.

The high-spirited Kung Fu Emperor back then was ultimately no match for time.

I can't bear to see the heroes of this world grow old.

The smoke has cleared during the National Day holiday.

But the film industry is extremely lively.

Xu Ke's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" sparked a heated discussion, and several big directors in the industry also made big moves.

The male lead of Guoshi's new film "The Thirteen Hairpins" has been decided, and Batman Christian Bale will play the role.

When the news spread, one stone stirred up waves.

Brother Chen Kai is not willing to be lonely.

This time he did not recite a poem, but he was equally confident and expressed in a high-profile manner: "I believe everyone has been looking forward to "The Orphan of Zhao" for a long time. I can only say that this costume historical drama will definitely not disappoint everyone. First of all, Regardless of the box office performance, I hope everyone can appreciate the artistic attainments."

The publicity team over there had already taken action and began to publish press releases with the help of popular top actress Fan Xiaopang, which attracted a wave of exposure.

Fan Binbin plays Zhuang Ji in "The Orphan of Zhao", and one of her photos of her pregnant woman has become a hot search.

The gorgeous dress and silk silk dress are stunningly beautiful.

According to the news released in the interview, there are extremely fine gold threads buried in each strand of her hair, and the hosta on her head looks like a phoenix turning back, which is worth millions.

"Director Chen is so big this time?"

Zhou Yutang was curious and asked for confirmation in person. Fan Xiaopang said with lingering fear: "It's really so expensive. It looks very beautiful. But when I wore it for filming, seven or eight bodyguards followed me all day long. I didn't even have to wear makeup to go to the toilet." Dare to lower your head, I’m so nervous.”

Fan Xiaopang can definitely get it for millions, but after all, it is the property of the crew, and it will hurt even if he touches it and pays for it.

Teacher Fan has been extremely active in the entertainment industry this year, walking on all kinds of red carpets, and also participated in the investment in the film project "New Shaolin Temple".

That movie will be released during the Lunar New Year period at the end of the year, and may become Zhou Yutang's biggest competitor.

Entertainment reporters in the industry always like to cause trouble. "Big Shot" increased Xiaogangpao's box office record of Chinese movies by more than 100 million, so he took the initiative to block Feng Xiaogang, hoping to hear more exciting words from his mouth.

"Director Feng, the box office record of "Earthquake" was broken after only two months. How do you feel about this?"

"Thinking?"

Feng Xiaogang's expression did not change, but he replied with a smile: "I feel very relieved. Yu Tang is an old friend. I am very happy that he can achieve such results."

Entertainment reporter pretended to be surprised: "Happy? Director Feng, didn't you say that "Earthquake" made your life perfect? ​​Now that Zhou Yutang has made your life not so perfect, you are still happy."

Feng Xiaogang probably wanted to slap this entertainment reporter in his heart, but he still responded with a smile on his face: "I am very happy that the Chinese film industry can develop so fast. This shows that the capacity of the film market is expanding, and there are emerging film industries like Yu Tang Power, to some extent, is also promoting the development of the entire industry and making the entire cake bigger. Also, his acting skills are very good and he just won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor. I hope we can cooperate in the future if we have the opportunity."

Ning Hao's Bad Monkey Pictures Studio.

Zhou Yutang had half a day to spare, drinking tea and chatting, when he heard Ning Hao, who was wearing a big gold chain, grinning and saying: "Yu Tang, Director Feng is really interesting, and he wants to cooperate with you."

"Kind words."

Zhou Yutang also read the newspaper.

Entertainment reporters are worried that the world will not be in chaos, but Feng Xiaogang is not a fool.

They are very smart.

Those were all just for the sake of exposure and traffic during the movie's release period.

What's more, Zhou Yutang's current status is not just as simple as a new commercial film director.

The Jiangdong Entertainment he controls has become a presence that cannot be ignored in the entertainment industry, especially the variety show ace he controls.

In the future, if I have a movie to be released, I might have to beg to appear on those popular variety shows to promote it.

"How's The Golden Heist going?"

"The casting has been decided, and you know the male lead."

Ning Hao laughed: "Lei Jiayin, who is on the show, has appeared in your movies before."

Lei Jiayin played a supporting role in Zhou Yutang's debut film "Those Years", which he directed and starred in.

"Lei Datou's acting skills are okay."

Zhou Yutang also nodded slightly.

"Haha, why do you always give people nicknames?"

Ning Hao was drinking water. Hearing this, he couldn't hold himself tight and squirted out a mouthful of water.

Zhou Yutang chuckled and said, "His head is really big."

Lei Jiayin graduated from theater and was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Arts Center with first place.

He went to the Magic City to find Liu Shishi, and occasionally he would have dinner dates with Lei Jiayin and the people from the Dramatic Art Center, and they were all considered friends.

"There is also Guo Tao, who is also an old acquaintance. He called me not long ago and asked me to set up a game. He wanted to thank you."

"Forget about the dinner, I'm really too busy."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a smile: "When are you going to start filming?"

"It will be launched next month. I have to make some money quickly, otherwise I will be sorry for Big Dog Brother."

Ning Hao also smiled bitterly.

The "No Man's Land" I invested in earlier is still stuck, and now this "Golden Heist" is paid for by Big Dog Brother. Li Ming is indeed very loyal.

"I haven't even won an award myself. It's outrageous that the Golden Horse Awards invited me to be a presenter."

"The organizers of the Hundred Flowers Awards also asked me to come over and be the presenter."

"Then why didn't you go there?" Ning Hao looked a little surprised.

"Forget it, the Hundred Flowers Award doesn't mean much."

Zhou Yutang revealed his travel plan: "I am going abroad next and have some personal matters to deal with."

When talking about the Hundred Flowers Award, both of them felt a little emotional.

At the beginning, it was one of the four major awards in the mainland and represented the people's choice to some extent. However, now it has developed into a somewhat embarrassing situation.

It turns out.

In China, which has its own national conditions.

There are many people with great supernatural powers.

Zhou Yutang's script submission was given the green light all the way and passed without any hindrance.

Someone outside quickly got wind of it.

"Yu Tang, we have a game tonight. Many beautiful girls here are your fans. Do you want to come over and get together?"

Wang Zhonglei of Huayi Company has a very deep routine.

Let’s not mention the movie first. When you open your mouth, you will hit the target directly and hit the weak point of a man.

Fortunately, Zhou Yutang had strong willpower and declined politely: "Mr. Wang, I'm very busy recently and I really don't have time."

Wang Zhonglei then smiled and said: "Is it the "League of Thieves" that you co-produced with South Korea?"

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Mr. Wang, we got the news so quickly."

Then they exchanged pleasantries for a while, but in the end they still didn’t agree.

After hanging up Wang Zhonglei's call, Lu Zheng also called, asking about film investment.

"Mr. Lu, Wanda can join the game, but the share won't be too large. What do I need to do to connect to the backend data center of Wanda Cinema Line?"

"It's easy to talk about. I'll help you get it done."

At this time, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each with their own magical powers.

Zhou Yutang seemed to have become a hot cake, immediately attracting crowds of people to grab it.

"The shares from Shanghai Film and Television and Wanda can be reserved."

After dealing with a series of friendships, Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and had a plan in mind.

Wanda is the largest theater chain leader in China. There are only benefits to the cooperation between the two parties, and Maoyan cannot do without this leading theater chain.

He has a close relationship with Tian Ming, and he has some foundation in the Shanghai circle, which will be useful to the Shanghai Film Group in the future.

As for Huayi, forget it. He plans to wait until the ban on Huayi's shares is lifted, and he can cash out at a high level in the next few years.

Time has entered November.

In the movie registration list, information about "Thieves" appeared.

Director: Zhou Yutang.

Screenwriter: Zhou Yutang.

Main cast: TBD

The entire entertainment industry exploded.

Zhou Yutang's popularity is unprecedented.

It is controlled by Jiangdong Entertainment and China Film and directed by Zhou Yutang, a new commercial film director who has just broken the box office record of Tianchao Film.

This large-scale criminal action-themed production with a total investment of 120 million is a co-production between the two countries, attracting the attention of countless people inside and outside the industry.

"Captain Zhou is awesome, this is really a top-level project."

"Looking at the news, it seems that South Korean actors will be used. Is Zhou Gou going to South Korea to choose a concubine?"

"I want the thigh era!"

"There's going to be a good show soon."

While there were crazy discussions on the Internet, Zhou Yutang was having a meeting with Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Lu Zheng and others.

With Zhu Yu from "Big Shot" in front, the investment share of this movie may involve a nine-digit box office share, so of course we have to fight for it.

After an afternoon of meetings, we finally reached an agreement.

"40% share of Jiangdong Entertainment."

"China Film 20% share."

“Wanda’s 15% share.”

"15% share of Shanghai Film Academy."

“The Emperor’s 10% share!”

All parties are relatively satisfied with this result.

Before Zhou Yutang made movies, he especially liked to control costs, and he always used small things to make big things happen.

Needless to say, "Those Years" is a low-budget youth campus film with a return on investment ratio of more than ten times.

Taking into account the publicity costs of "The Lonely Agent" and "Big Shot", the maximum cost was 60 to 70 million.

This time it is a large-scale production with an investment of 120 million.

Zhou Yutang has never fought such a rich battle.

……………………

"Rescuing Mr. Wu" went to find Wu Ruofu, but the discussion failed.

This matter was all part of people's psychological shadow, but the adaptation authorization was agreed upon and the script was renamed "Rescue Mr. My Life".

There are no special effects or big scenes in this movie, so Zhou Yutang is going to give it to Wen Muye to try it out.

After following him for several years, Wen Muye has seen all the big and small scenes, and Wen Muye has gradually become able to take charge of himself.

While at Gao Yuanyuan's house, Zhou Yutang called Wen Muye.

"Yu Tang, thank you."

"Your ability is no problem. I will send you the script tomorrow."

"OK!"

At night, Wen Muye put down his cell phone, looking slightly excited.

He really learned a lot during this period of following his junior brother Zhou Yutang.

Whether it is being a person or doing things.

He also admires this junior brother who is several years younger than him from the bottom of his heart.

certainly.

He also got opportunities that many new directors dream of.

He is about to direct his first movie in his life.

Push open the window.

Take a deep breath.

The fresh night air fills your lungs.

Wen Muye seemed to feel that the bustling lights in the distance were lighting up for him.
