Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Time has entered January.

Jiangdong Entertainment’s TV business project meeting.

Zhou Yutang sat high on the throne.

Below him are Jiang Xuezhen and several key people in charge of the TV series business.

"Mr. Zhou."

Jiang Xuezhen stood up first and reported: "We have negotiated with Tang Dynasty. The post-production special effects of "Mark of the Sky" will be done by Vision Media. "Wei Sheng" will not be completed until a few days ago."

"Um."

Zhou Yutang nodded: "For the viewing party of "Reply 1997", the company has invited more than a dozen domestic first-tier TV stations to come and discuss it. You will be in charge when the time comes."

The eyes of everyone in the conference room soon fell on Jiang Xueyuan.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Jiang Xuezhen was startled for a moment, then she felt secretly happy and responded repeatedly: "Is there anything I should pay attention to?"

"If it's a multi-star broadcast, we should pay attention to coordinating the schedules between TV stations."

"Let's not talk about webcasting rights for now. The company may build its own video website next year."

"clear."

Jiang Xueyuan wrote this down.

She is also a veteran producer and knows the routines between TV stations in the industry.

That year's "My Captain, My Group" is a good example. In order to get a head start, a certain TV station deliberately deleted the first three episodes. The characters who were supposed to appear in the third episode ran away in the second episode.

"Xiaoyu, come and play the PPT."

Zhou Yutang stood up with his hands on the table, and Mao Xiaoyu obediently played out the ppt he had stayed up late to make.

"Tang Yan has signed a new contract with the company. The script of "Why Shengxiao is Silent" has already been written. It is now entering the preparatory stage and is expected to start filming in the first half of next year."

"Then there will be "Celebrating More Than Years", which will also start production in the first half of next year. The preliminary casting work can begin."

Everyone in the conference room stared at the projector, feeling extremely excited.

All film and television projects in which Zhou Yutang participates are S-level productions.

The PPT is very clear. The project status of "Celebrating More Than Years" and the production cost are expected to exceed 100 million. This is also the second major costume drama produced by Jiangdong Entertainment's professional team after accumulating sufficient experience after completing "Xiu Chun Knife". .

The special effects level of Vision Media is definitely the best in the industry now. At that time, "My Love from the Star" could have been replaced by Vision Media.

Now that special effects technology is maturing day by day, it is also time to gradually start plans for costume dramas.

"Celebrating More Than Years" is just the first step. In the next three years, there will be a series of large-scale productions such as "In the Snow" and the S-level film and television project "The Lonely and Brilliant Ghost".

The dark circles under Mao Xiaoyu's eyes were not in vain, the PPT was done very carefully, and Zhou Yutang also drew piles and piles of cakes, which made everyone in the TV drama company's TV business excited.

But before leaving the house, everyone looked at Jiang Xuerou a few more times, looking worried.

The smart people have already secretly figured out that today Zhou Yutang asked Jiang Xuezhen to report her work at the meeting, and it seemed that she intended to let her take over Xu Ming's shift.

Just after the meeting, Zhou Yutang took a sip of water in his office when he heard Mao Xiaoyu running over to report: "Boss, the brilliant Huo Wenxi is here to find you."

"Bring her in."

Soon, the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground sounded from far to near. When Huo Wenxi saw Zhou Yutang, a smile appeared on his delicate face.

They were all old acquaintances, and she was no stranger to Jiangdong Entertainment. After saying hello to Mao Xiaoyu, she went straight into Zhou Yutang's office.

"Sister Mani, you are such a busy person, why do you have time to come over to my place?"

Zhou Yutang moved his eyes away from Huo Wenxi, who was wearing a dark professional skirt, and landed on the beautiful young girl next to him wearing a black coat and white boots.

"I'm bringing Gillian here to pay homage to the mountain. From now on, she will develop in the mainland. Please take good care of her."

The young and beautiful girl next to Huo Wenxi looked at Zhou Yutang curiously and smiled softly: "Hello Zhou Sheng, I am Gillian from Twins."

"Ah hello."

Zhou Yutang nodded politely and smiled.

This girl gradually came out of the shadow of the Teacher Chen incident and began to resume her acting activities, but she is not well-known in the mainland.

"A'tang, I just saw people from your company's TV drama business department finishing a meeting. Did they make any big moves again?"

"A few small TV series projects."

"Your project."

Huo Wenxi smiled and said: "There is no difference between big and small, there is only the difference between hot-selling products and phenomenal-level hot-selling products."

A mature woman with high emotional intelligence speaks so beautifully.

Although it is flattery, it is also very comfortable to listen to.

Zhou Yutang also smiled and said: "Sister Mani, your Yinghuang's recent moves have been a bit big. You even captured Uncle Ge Yuge."

"Eh."

Huo Wenxi had a smile on his face: "It's a small fight, but the contract we signed will make you laugh."

This sister has emotional intelligence and ability, and she has done great things quietly.

Yinghuang had always wanted to poach Feng Xiaogang from the Huayi brothers. At this time, he suddenly made a move and directly poached Uncle Ge Yuge, the mainland's best actor, with a high salary.

The press release has been sent out. Yinghuang will collaborate with Ge You on three films in the next five years, with a total investment of over HK$500 million.

The contract he signed was a Budou contract, and Ge You's personal studio's management contract is still with Tianchao Culture Communication Group.

But this was enough to make Yinghuang famous in the circle.

If it weren't for this sister being Boss Yang's confidant, Zhou Yutang would have wanted to poach him.

"Compared to your boss Zhou, it's far behind. Soochow Film and Television, a spin-off of Jiangdong Entertainment, can make a movie with a higher profit than the sum of the movie projects Yinghuang does in the whole year."

The total investment in "Thieves Alliance" was only 120 million, and Jiangdong Entertainment took 40% of the share, but the final box office was as high as 1.1 billion.

This box office share is also a quite astonishing figure.

I don’t know how many film and television companies in the industry are envious.

"Yinghuang also had a share. At that time, the company's stock price soared, and Boss Yang also made a lot of money."

"..."

Zhong Xintong was sitting on the sofa, listening to the two people going back and forth, exchanging polite business blows. She seemed to want to laugh, but she probably felt rude, and finally held it back.

Huo Wenxi finally said the purpose of his trip: "A Tang, the premiere of "Reverse War", do you have time?"

"when?"

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "In two days, I may go to the United States."

"The premiere is scheduled for the 13th."

Huo Wenxi was slightly surprised: "If you can take your business to Hollywood, Ah Tang, you are the number one person in domestic entertainment."

"Sister Mani, please stop flattering me."

Zhou Yutang glanced at his schedule and said, "Look at the time, I should be back in time."

Generally speaking, for movie premieres, an invitation letter is usually sent out.

Coming to invite people in person like Huo Wenxi can be considered sincere.

This face can be given.

"Sister mani."

After coming out of Jiangdong Building and getting in the car, Zhong Xintong no longer looked like the quiet lady she had been before, and said with a little excitement: "Zhou Sheng is such a handsome boy!"

"You know pretty boys, what's the use of pretty boys!?"

Huo Wenxi hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel, and told her: "Gillian, learn more about other people's ambition, so that you can make progress. In the future, when you are working in the mainland, you must be sweet."

"Uh-huh."

Listening to Huo Wenxi's teachings, Zhong Xintong still said with great interest: "By the way, Sister Mani, he went to Hollywood to work on "The Conjuring", right?"

"You know this too?"

"Sister Mani, I have also watched "Purge". It was a hit at the Hollywood box office last year. He also invested in "The Conjuring"."

Zhong Xintong's eyes were bright: "I think he is not only handsome, but also very talented."

Huo Wenxi: "..."

Early January.

Zhou Yutang went to the United States.

Mainly to look at the filming of "The Conjuring".

After all, a lot of money has been invested, so of course you have to pay attention.

By the way, let’s meet the Imperial Master.

The draw date for this year's Golden Globe Awards is mid-January, and the national team came to the other side of the ocean in advance to prepare.

Tian Ming happened to be there this time, and he came over to negotiate with the TV station in the United States about program dividends.

This year's "The Voice" also had a huge ratings hit in North America. Mingjie Company's bet was successful, and this time it really came with a sack filled with U.S. dollars.

After landing, I met Zou Zhongyan first. Instead of going to the set, I was dragged by the enthusiastic old man Bob to sit at New Line Company.

"Zhou, are you really not considering directing DC works? Warner is really sincere."

"Sauri, Bob, why did you choose me?"

"I didn't choose you."

Bob stretched out his finger and shook it, "It's because Warner has made negative remarks about you without any malice. Only when they get to know you more deeply can they discover what kind of treasure you are."

Marvel's "Avengers" will be released next year, followed by "Iron Man 3", "Captain America 2" and "Guardians of the Galaxy".

DC, on the other hand, is not far behind. After Nolan's Batman trilogy, it is immediately preparing to start plans for Superman and other hero movie projects.

"Bob."

Facing the fiery eyes of the old white man, Zhou Yutang felt a chill, shook his head and laughed: "I think it might be more effective if a beautiful blonde and blue-eyed woman said this to me."

"no offense."

Bob grinned with a smile that every man knows how to do: "This is too simple, I will help you arrange it, you will be fascinated by those women."

"Forget it, Bob, I'm on a tight schedule this time."

Zhou Yutang waved his hand helplessly.

In China, it is still relatively reserved, but here the circle is very unrestrained, and if you see someone right, it will be Fake.

It is indeed a country where the air is full of freedom.

Bob is still drawing the pie: "You know, this kind of opportunity is very rare. No one knows your abilities better than me. If you can direct a certain part of the DC series, it will be very good for your development."

The old man got excited as he spoke and gestured: "Zhou, think about Nolan. That guy's "Batman" made 1 billion US dollars worldwide. That's 1 billion US dollars. This year's movie is the last one in the trilogy." One movie, Warner Bros. is already looking for the next Nolan!"

If the "Human Purge Plan" made this old man's eyes shine, it is certain that the young man Zou Wenhuai entrusted to him is indeed a rare talent.

So after Zhou Yutang came out with the "The Conjuring" series, in his heart, the importance he attached to Zhou Yutang increased to another level.

Especially "A League of Thieves" released in China this year, which grossed 1.1 billion at the box office, even Hollywood is looking at it.

Someone can get away with it once.

But few people are as consistently successful as Zhou Yutang.

In Bob's heart.

Zhou Yutang is a super genius in the entertainment industry.

Whether it's China or Hollywood.

He can accurately grasp the market.

"As long as you stay, money, honor, women"

Old Bob's voice was full of bewitching: "Believe me, you can get everything you want!"

"I already have what you mentioned."

Zhou Yutang crossed his legs, raised his eyebrows and smiled, somewhat teasingly.

In the eyes of domestic entertainment, Hollywood is full of glamor, but in Zhou Yutang's eyes, it really has no allure.

The foundation of his career has always been in China, and the purpose of coming here is very clear, that is, to make money.

"."

Bob was startled for a moment, then sighed.

I almost forgot about this young man, but he is an upstart in the Oriental entertainment and media industry.

What he said is undoubtedly fatal poison to young people who are eager to become famous.

But Zhou Yutang has already developed a golden body, so his temptation is naturally greatly reduced.

"No kidding, Bob."

Zhou Yutang saw the old man dejected and found it funny: "You know, I have a lot of things to do, and my schedule is scheduled for the year after next. If there is a chance in the future, I wouldn't mind directing a DC movie, but I have a condition."

"What conditions?"

Old Bob instantly sat upright from slumped in the chair, his eyes shining.
