Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Director Xu, Mr. Liu of Huaqi called again. Do you want to answer the call?"

"who?"

Standing in the lobby of Beijing Dynasty Hotel, the light shone on Xu Guangtou's smooth head, reflecting bright light.

"It's Mr. Liu from Wuhan Huaqi Company."

"Xiao Lu, if you don't know the phone number, you can handle it yourself from now on. Don't bring it over to talk to me, okay?"

Bald Xu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to his assistant very truthfully.

Some people wished he would die, but not only did he not die, but he was still alive and well.

At the beginning, Huaqi was encouraged to sell the copyright and received a kickback from it.

Then he hugged Zhou Yutang's thigh.

Take off directly.

This time I earned more than just the hundreds of thousands in kickbacks.

In addition to the original director's fee, Zhou Yutang received an additional 5 million yuan in red envelopes.

None of this is the most important.

The key is that the first movie he directed had a box office of more than 1 billion, and he truly became famous in one battle.

nowadays.

Who in the world doesn’t know this shiny bald head! ?

"囧囧" has just ended, and a big boss has already found him and inquired about his next movie plans.

Zhou Yutang spent more than one million yuan on the celebration banquet held in the capital tonight.

Seeing those long legs wearing leather shoes stepping down from the Maybach, Xu Baldy's eyes behind the lenses were like the light from a flashlight. An eager smile instantly appeared on his face, and he stepped forward: "Yu Tang, just wait. is you."

"Director Xu."

Zhou Yutang and he hugged each other familiarly: "Congratulations, the second billionaire director."

"Good luck, good luck."

Bald Xu's face almost broke out from laughter. He touched his bald head and said in an excited tone: "It's all thanks to the support of President Zhou that we can achieve this box office. I already have new ideas for the next sequel."

The "囧" series has become a money-grabbing monster in the film market.

Since you can make money, you can continue filming.

As long as the original lineup is maintained and the script is passable, there is a high chance that you can make money just sitting there.

"For the sequel to "囧囧", there is no rush. The script can be developed slowly."

Zhou Yutang chuckled softly and said: "The film that will be put in the Lunar New Year movie this year will definitely be "Now You See Me"."

He was a little amused by Xu Guangtou's eagerness, but it was also understandable.

When I signed the contract with him and Wang Baorong for "The Lost Journey", I signed a contract for three films in the "囧" series at once.

Now the second part of the series, "囧囧", has far exceeded expectations at the box office, making him a lot of money. According to the contract, for the third part of the "囧" series, Baldy Xu and Wang Baoyu will be able to get their investment shares when their remuneration is used. Part of the box office share.

Who doesn’t want to make more money?

"Then I have to make way for "Now You See Me". I'll work on the script first and then read it later."

The two entered the hotel talking and laughing, and Zhou Yutang gave up the stage tonight to Bald Xu.

"I remember very clearly that when I was working on "The Journey", I found Yu Tang. Without even thinking about it, he asked the finance department to give me 10 million on the second day."

"When I received the money, I was completely stunned. I am really grateful to Yu Tang. Without his generous donation and suggestions on the script, there would be no "囧" series. At that time, "囧囧路" was delayed due to various reasons. It took a long time for it to be released. I didn’t have much confidence at that time and often couldn’t sleep at night. My wife should know.”

The audience burst into laughter, Tao Hong also covered her mouth and chuckled, Xu Guangtou continued: "I was panicking to death, thinking that if I lost money, it would be over, so I called Mr. Zhou, and he encouraged me and said, he I think the quality of this drama is okay.”

"At that time, Bao and I signed a contract for three films. As everyone knows what happened later, the box office performance was really good. "The Journey" was the strongest dark horse in the Lunar New Year last year, so "Thailand" was born. Oops"."

Bald Xu's voice gradually raised a few notches: "Yu Tang said at the time that this film would be filmed in Tyrande so that the audience could experience the exotic customs. I am still a little doubtful. Will the audience buy it if it is separated from the familiar domestic environment? ?”

"It turns out that his choice was extremely correct. Before it was released, no one believed that such a comedy would have such a box office, but we really created a miracle..."

Bald Xu is indeed a good actor.

Emotional intelligence is also really high.

There was no floating at the celebration banquet.

This artistically processed and emotional speech made the guests and media reporters in the banquet hall almost say Gao Chao.

Many guests cast admiring glances at Zhou Yutang.

The total investment for the two parts of the "囧" series, including publicity costs, did not exceed 100 million, and the final box office results combined exceeded 1.4 billion.

Such a remarkable record has created a golden statue for Zhou Yutang, the manipulator behind the scenes.

In the eyes of many people, this young director who just won the Berlin Best Director trophy seems to be enveloped by a dazzling aura of divinity.

Amid thunderous applause, Zhou Yutang and Bald Xu smashed the ice sculpture symbolizing the billion-dollar movie box office figure together.

Next came the social and social aspect.

Xu Zheng himself is a veteran in the entertainment industry and knows many people.

Wang Baorong is also a real good guy. Feng Xiaogang and Liu Ruoying came to support him, and even Cheng Cai, a good brother from the "Soldier Assault" crew, also came.

Needless to say, Zhou Yutang’s connections were not to mention. Except for Huang Xiaoming who was filming on the set and couldn’t leave, Qin Lan came over on his behalf. Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Changtian, Li Ming, Huo Wenxi, etc. were all present.

Cai Yinong also came over with a brother and a sister from the Tang Dynasty and a familiar face.

"Yu Tang, congratulations on the box office success."

Zhou Yutang and Hu Ge hugged each other cordially, then turned around and recognized the girl behind Liu Shishi: "Jin Daxi?"

"Director Zhou."

"Do you know each other?"

Liu Shishi was slightly stunned.

"I had a cameo in "A League of Thieves" as a dealer who dealt cards."

Jin Chen explained with a smile: "Director Zhou, congratulations on the box office success of "囧"."

Liu Shishi nodded suddenly.

I have to say that Cai Yinong has a really good eye for selecting people.

Sun Li, the first sister of the first generation, is a perfect beauty and is considered a hit in the drama circle.

The next Liu Shishi is even more powerful, a popular celebrity who is both top-notch and looks down upon the young actresses of her generation.

The current Jin Daxi has pretty good qualifications.

In terms of popularity right now, it is naturally not as good as Liu Shishi, but in terms of dancing level, I am afraid it is still above Liu Shishi.

She once danced at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and even participated in the creation and performance of the Dai dance work "Flowers", which was included in the teaching materials of the Beijing Dance Academy and became a required part of the exam.

After her sexy performance in "A League of Thieves" last year, she went to participate in the dance show "Strictly Come Dancing" and directly won the championship of the third season, which is considered a minor celebrity.

"Yu Tang, you are a shareholder of our Tangren. Now that Jin Chen has signed with Tangren, please keep an eye on any future projects."

Cai Yinong led Hu Ge and Liu Shishi over to reminisce about the past, just for this sentence.

"Definitely if I have the chance."

Zhou Yutang laughed softly and put his arm around Hu Ge's shoulders. The two hadn't seen each other for a while and started chatting.

"Boss Zhou, the best director in Berlin, "囧" has won another billion in box office, awesome."

Lao Hu was wearing a black coat tonight, with his hair combed back, looking very stylish.

"how have you been?"

"Just like that, messing around, having a drama produced by the company, and then taking a movie from Xiangjiang."

"what movie?"

Zhou Yutang became a little interested.

"It's called "The Gorgeous Queen."

Hu Ge shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself: "I guess you haven't heard of Yinghuang's romance movies."

Rong Piao'er, the heroine, is a very popular Hong Kong singing queen.

Lao Hu, the male protagonist, is a mainland masseur who became blind due to diving.

Are these two partners having an affair?

After Lao Hu finished talking about his new play, he looked very expectant: "How was it?"

Zhou Yutang mentally mourned for him for three seconds and said implicitly: "It doesn't sound like he could be popular."

"Boss Zhou, are you so comforting?"

This sentence caused real damage from the critical hit. Hu Ge's expression twitched slightly: "I feel numb when I act in a play or attack in another."

"If there is a chance, let's work together on a play."

"Wucao, I can finally hold you on my lap."

Hu Ge came up directly and hugged his shoulders.

Even though Lao Hu usually dresses cool and cool, in front of familiar friends, his funny attributes are undoubtedly revealed.

Zhou Yutang and Hu Ge were chatting hotly here, and Cai Yinong also led the first sister and Jin Daxi to socialize.

Tonight's celebration banquet was attended by many big directors, producers, and film and television company bosses in the industry.

Many personal connections are accumulated through such entertainment.

…

Wang Baohe did not refuse anyone who came tonight and drank a lot of wine.

The assistant with obvious dark circles under his eyes helped him out and got into the car. When the driver started the car, he suddenly said: "They say Zhou Yutang is generous, but I think he is quite stingy. For a billion box office, he will give a red envelope of 5 million." .”

"What did you say?"

Wang Bao's face instantly darkened.

"I think it's a bit of a loss."

"Yu Tang earns so much money because he has the ability. How much should I get? The contract I signed, 5 million, is already very interesting, and I can get a share of the box office for the second film in the "囧" series."

Wang Bao'er said in a flurry: "Do your own thing well and don't make irresponsible remarks behind my back. Yu Tang takes good care of me. It's not good for you to do this."

The assistant with dark circles shrugged his shoulders: "I just said it casually."

…

The celebration banquet is over and after the party is over.

Zhou Yutang was nowhere to be seen at the scene.

Also missing was the first sister of the Tang Dynasty.

Jin Daxi looked around, pulled Cai Yinong and asked, "Sister K, where did Sister Shi go?"

"Don't worry about this, let's go."

"oh."

Jin Daxi looked at Cai Yinong and Hu Ge's tacit smiles and nodded thoughtfully.

……………………

Dynasty Hotel, presidential suite.

Turn off the lights.

But by the moonlight falling into the room.

Skirts and underwear can be seen scattered on the floor.

From time to time, a woman's gentle and soft moaning sound can be heard...

Snap.

The lights come back on.

Liu Shishi was wrapped in a bathrobe and put her hair behind her head with both hands. The gentle little face projected in the mirror was radiant, as bright as a peach blossom.

Zhou Yutang leaned on the bed, tilted his head slightly, and lit a cigarette casually.

The white smoke puffed out made the handsome face hazy and mysterious.

Sometimes, he really admires women.

After connecting, before going to bed.

Didn't forget about skin care routine.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

Liu Shishi gently patted her firm facial skin and applied the cream on her arms and white legs.

After quickly completing the final skin care steps, she got back into bed, and the fragrance on her body became stronger.

She glanced at her phone and replied to a few messages. After a while, she realized that Zhou Yutang was smoking a cigarette and watching TV. She took the half-burned cigarette and put it out directly, chattering in a cute way. :

"You are not allowed to smoke in the future. Smoking is harmful to your health."

"Okay, okay, don't smoke, don't smoke."

Zhou Yutang was not addicted to cigarettes either. He put his chin on Liu Shishi's fair shoulder and asked, "How was it on the set of "Jing Zhong Yue Fei"?"

"It's okay. I've almost finished shooting my scenes. All that's left is the scenes with you. The director and Brother Xiao Ming also take good care of me. Have you said hello?"

"I told Cao Huayi that I will join the team in two days."

Zhou Yutang put his arms around Liu Shishi's waist and chatted while watching TV. He mentioned Hu Ge, "What were you and Lao Hu talking about tonight? I saw him smiling very happily."

"Be prepared to cooperate with him."

Zhou Yutang chuckled softly, and Liu Shishi nodded: "Old Hu is really miserable. I guess you are the only one who can lead him."

To talk about Lao Hu's journey to the big screen, it is really sad.

Last year's "Snow on a Thousand Mountains" was a hit in the ratings, and his role as a domineering president was also well received, and he was recognized by countless fans as a talented actor.

Then I got on the train and watched the main theme blockbuster "Revolution of 1911" controlled by Shanghai Film Group, and the result was another bloodbath.

Now.

Many people on the Internet have already called him box office poison.

Zhou Yutang wanted to give it a try.

Can you take Hu Ge flying?
