Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Could it be that the matter with Tang Yan and Yang Mi was discovered?

A certain scumbag looked at Liu Shishi's face tightening, and felt a thump in his heart.

When she heard that it was Gong Li's manager who was bombarding the Golden Horse Awards, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and echoed, "What's going on?"

The tablet is running the game to automatically spawn monsters, and the mobile phone is reading the news.

Liu Shishi only had a schedule in the afternoon. He was not idle at all, and he didn't care about eating apples. He was gossiping with Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang patted Liu Shishi's buttocks, asked her to sit closer, and took the phone.

Yesterday, Gong Li still maintained her demeanor and said that she was very happy, but she did not attend the Golden Horse dinner and directly boarded a plane to join the cast of "Journey to the West: The Monkey King Three Fights against the Bone Demon".

This movie is the sequel to "Havoc in Heaven". The management may have thought that the cast could be more luxurious, so they spent a lot of money on Gong Li to play the Bone Demon.

As soon as Gong Huang left, her agent Zeng Jingchao immediately released information to the media and criticized the Golden Horse Awards. "Special thanks to the Golden Horse Awards for giving me this opportunity, which allowed me to understand what an unprofessional film festival is like."

Now, except for the news about him winning awards, the headlines are all about the two sides bickering.

Zhou Yutang put on Shi Shi's melon-eating trumpet and read the comments from netizens for a while.

Most of them were complaining about Gong Li.

After all, Gong Li's acting skills, depth, and creative power are recognized by everyone.

The first Chinese-speaking actress to win Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival and the Montreal Film Festival, and the Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards. It is even more common to win the domestic Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, and even carried the sedan chair for Chen Xiangqi.

Zhang Aijia, a member of the Golden Horse Executive Committee, responded immediately, saying that the review process and results have always been independent and fair, and are not affected by any external force.

Chen Kexing also jumped out at this time and muddied the water: "Zhao Yanzi is no worse than Gong Li. What makes me even more disappointed and puzzled is that "Dear" was not nominated for Best Picture and Best Director. .”

There are also rumors in the market that this year's Golden Horse Awards jury member Chen Chong stepped on Gong Li because of a personal grudge.

Someone also revealed the inside story, saying that the Golden Horse Organizing Committee did not want to see the situation where the major and major awards were almost swept by mainland films, and it was a bit of a shameless operation to forcefully save respect.

It really has everything.

Any awards in the entertainment industry, whether it is three gold medals in China or an Oscar in America.

They are all rules of the game in a circle.

Only by standing at a certain height in this circle can one understand the rules and logic of awards. The boundaries are not absolute truths.

Wherever there are people, there are benefits.

As long as there are interests, there can be no absolute fairness.

With Zhou Yutang's status as a celebrity, going to Jinma was to give Li An face.

Now it seems that some troubles are caused every year, and there may be more troubles in the future. The next term will be decided not to go.

"How about creating a new Golden Dragon Award?"

Such an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly.

With his current resources and influence, if he can raise his voice, he may not be without hope.

But if you want to run an award, it is not that simple. You must first touch the cake of "some people".

"It's a bit troublesome. It can't be solved overnight. You have to figure it out slowly."

Shaking his head slightly, Zhou Yutang quickly put these things behind him.

After all, he was still young and time was on his side.

Plant a seed now, and maybe it will bloom into a gorgeous flower in the future.

Back in the capital, the crew of "Chi Ling" once again held a thank-you party at the Dynasty Hotel.

In addition to Zeng Li, Li Yao, Li Xuejian and crew members, many friends and celebrities from the industry came, and several teachers from the film school were also invited.

Xiaogangpao came here with Mr. Wang from Huayi, and his eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Yutang.

A smile appeared on the face that had some white spots on it. Feng Xiaogang walked up quickly and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou. Come and ask for a drink to feel happy."

"Director Feng, you're too polite, is there something wrong?"

"Mr. Zhou, I really can't hide anything from you."

Feng Xiaogang grinned and said: "It's really a small matter, and I want to ask you for a favor. Can you take some time to make a cameo in my movie "Old Paoer"?"

"There aren't many shots, it can be done in a day or two at most." Wang Zhonglei added next to him.

"Excuse me."

Zhou Yutang didn't leave any room for them: "Director Feng, Mr. Wang, I really can't accommodate this schedule."

"Mermaid" is a big project with an investment of more than 100 million yuan. When the money is earned, it will go into his own pocket, so he can star in it as a guest star.

Zhou Yutang was not in the habit of helping others when he carried the sedan chair for Huayi's "Lao Pao'er".

"That's such a shame."

After pulling at Mr. Wang who wanted to say more, Feng Xiaogang looked regretful and shook his head: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, for winning the Best Director and Best Actor trophies for two consecutive years, breaking the Golden Horse record."

"Director Feng has a good reputation. It's just good luck."

After a few polite words, Zhou Yutang retreated.

Mr. Wang said angrily: "Xiao Gang, why did you stop me just now?"

"Forget it, Mr. Wang, forceful melons are not sweet."

Feng Xiaogang said slowly: "If he can agree, then we will definitely make a profit. If he doesn't want to, then forget it. We won't lose anything anyway. Don't we still have Li Yifeng and Wu Yifan?"

"What you said makes sense."

Mr. Wang nodded: "This movie will be released at the latest in the second half of next year. By then, Li Yifeng and Wu Yifan will be top-tier actors with a lot of resources invested. They won't have to worry about popularity."

After a pause, Mr. Wang looked at Zhou Yutang talking to a teacher from the Film Academy, and his heart moved slightly: "I heard that La Peikang went to Jiangdong Building twice in the past few days. Do you think the project of "The Great Wall" has fallen into his hands?"

"It's hard to say."

Feng Xiaogang shook his head and lowered his voice: "With the current style of the person in China Film, if the deal was done, the information would have been released long ago and made known to the world. He would not have waited until now. Our plan has also been submitted, and there is still a chance."

Tonight, the banquet hall was filled with wine and food, and there was a lot of excitement.

Tian Zhuangzhuang hadn't seen his beloved disciple for a while, so he came up and asked about "The Great Wall" kindly.

At this time, the entire entertainment industry was paying attention to this matter. Zhou Yutang told the truth, and Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't say much.

Zhou Yutang is capable and has his own ideas.

As a teacher, he does not point fingers at Zhou Yutang, but quietly supports him and uses his personal connections to pave the way for his students.

Now Zhou Yutang is growing stronger and does not need his help, but when facing him, he still maintains the necessary respect and humility, which makes Lao Tian feel very happy.

The next day.

Zhou Yutang met with the level and the screenwriter team in the company to discuss the magic modification of the first draft of "The Great Wall".

Since he came into contact with this project, he has been revising the script for the past few days, including the "Mermaid" crew and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.

Based on his ideas, some brain-opening details were improved and supplemented by the level and the editing team.

Just after the meeting, Ning Hao, wearing a big gold chain, came over to join in the fun.

"We are having a script meeting, you came over to eavesdrop, get out."

"No, Boss Zhou, I'll just take a look."

Ning Hao scratched his head and grinned: "I promise to keep it a secret. Hey, Lao Ping, why are you leaving?"

"It's over."

Ping laughed softly, and several editors saw the big gold chain and laughed to themselves.

Ning Hao's Bad Monkey Studio is rented in the Jiangdong Entertainment Building, and his film projects are all post-produced at Vision Media.

He came to visit and eat for free whenever he wanted, and they have become familiar with each other.

"It's really unfortunate that you came."

Ning Hao glanced at the projection screen angrily and saw nothing.

"Didn't they find you?"

"Yes, they did. Damn, the foreigners are willing to spend a lot of money."

"Do you want to try it?"

"If I hadn't made a little money, I would have been tempted."

Ning Hao's smile was a little cunning: "Tsk tsk, I can't handle the hot potato of a $150 million production. You have to do it."

"You made a lot of money."

Zhou Yutang pointed at Ning Hao and chuckled.

Bad Monkey is the main producer of "Heart Flower Road". According to the current box office of the movie, which has soared to 1.5 billion, the return rate is so high that it is frightening. At least it earns more than a small goal.

Ning Hao fought a beautiful turnaround and became one of the most profitable directors in China. Dong Ping also increased his chips.

After careful consideration, Ning Hao finally made a decision.

As a director, he will join the Huanxi Capital Bureau led by Dong Ping, but he will not participate in the specific operation of Huanxi.

Taking Ning Hao back to her office, Ni Ni poured him some tea and talked about the project "The Great Wall".

"The leading power of this project is still in the hands of Universal and Legendary."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed, "Whatever you want to do, I'm afraid even the boss's words may not count."

These days, La Peikang made a phone call every day, more frequently than Liu Tianxian.

The operating systems of Universal and Legendary are very mature.

Zhou Yutang is certainly their first choice, but they will definitely make contingency plans and contact almost all the big directors in China.

The national teacher is the key public relations target. Zhou Xingxing in the crew and Li An from Taiwan Province have received invitations and have talked to Zhou Yutang about this.

Zhou Xingxing put all his thoughts on this "The Mermaid", and Li An also has another big project to do.

Ning Hao has also been very proud recently and has reached the peak of his life.

He has successfully become a big director with a box office of 1.5 billion yuan, so he naturally received an invitation.

"There are too many projects coming to me recently, so I plan to take a break."

"Take a break?"

Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.

When the fire was boiling, there were so many capitals waving money and capital coming to me, but Ning Hao actually retired at this time.

"After finishing this movie, I feel a little empty, and I feel that the alien project is not mature."

Ning Hao said seriously: "I want to calm down, settle down, and do some behind-the-scenes work as a producer and supervisor. If you have any projects, boss Zhou, just call me and let me learn from you."

"Then you can work with Guo Fan on the post-production of the Magic Pirates. Next year, "The Wandering Earth" will be launched."

Zhou Yutang was chatting casually with Ning Hao when he received a call from Ni Ni.

Oh, the fairy is here.

Liu Yifei rarely comes to the Jiangdong Entertainment Company Building.

She is even too lazy to go to her own company, Hongxingwu, and basically leaves everything to Aunt Liu.

This time when she came to Jiangdong Entertainment, it was still the front desk Xiaoxue who led her to the 9th floor attentively.

"Wow, I thought Nazha was already a goddess with unrivaled beauty, but I didn't expect the goddess herself to be so beautiful!"

"Fifty-five, Naza's facial features are three-dimensional and exotic, and Liu Tianxian's temperament is so magical."

"This skin is so white that it glows!"

"Why did she come here suddenly? Is she talking to the boss about a project?"

The employees of Jiangdong Entertainment were also a little curious and discussed it privately.

There are many beauties in the company, but when you see Liu Tianxian, who is synonymous with beauty, you still feel your eyes light up.

After directly sending Ning Hao to find Guo Fan, Zhou Yutang carried the panting, soft and plump immortal body to the bed in the lounge.

Even the shoulder straps fell to her arms, and there was a touching blush on Qishang Saixue's skin under her neck and collar.

"Xiao Zhou, you are crazy, Ni Ni is right outside the door."

Liu Tianxian's body gradually became weak, but his hands were firmly pressed against Zhou Yutang's chest, his insteps were arched, and his voice unconsciously had a milky sound.

Thinking of Ni Ni's meaningful smile when she sent him in and closed the door, Liu Tianxian's face felt hot.

I always feel like she is watching from outside the door, which feels so shameful.

The red cheeks made Zhou Yutang more wild, but he finally restrained the idea of ​​paid cultivation because Pei Kang called.

This afternoon, I made an appointment with people from Universal and Legend to start the second round of negotiations.

Liu Tianxian hurriedly broke away from Zhou Yutang's arms, and went to the private bathroom in the president's office with weak legs and feet.

After tidying up his clothes, splashing water on his face, until the redness gradually subsided, and looking in the mirror to make sure there were no traces, Liu Tianxian walked out.

"Xiao Zhou, do you really want to take on "The Great Wall"?"

Just now, while Zhou Yutang was talking to Pei Kang, he was teasing her. While biting his lips and folding his legs to resist, Liu Tianxian also got a rough idea of ​​the conversation between the two.

"It doesn't look very optimistic."

Zhou Yutang put his hands behind his head and stretched his body on the sofa.

Seeing Liu Tianxian combing his hair with both hands, I just felt that it was extremely pleasing to the eye.

"Is there a more powerful director than you?"

Liu Tianxian snorted with a slightly wrinkled nose.

In her heart, Zhou Yutang must be the most powerful, bar none.

"That's not how it works."

Zhou Yutang stretched out his hand and gently brought Liu Tianxian's body to his lap, hugged her waist, and explained happily:

"This kind of project involves very deep waters. All parties must have consistent interests and there are many things to consider."

China Film, large conference room.

Pei Kang was communicating in a low voice with several senior executives of China Film Group.

With legendary CEO Thomas Tarr, and Universal's co-chairman Donna Langley's team.

There are also Jiangdong business team representatives and legal representatives brought by Zhou Yutang.

From the three parties, there were dozens of people sitting in Wuyangyang.

Liu Tianxian, who was sitting next to Zhou Yutang, had his back straight and his body tense. There was a burst of nervousness in his heart, and his fingers turned white from pinching.

This stinky little Zhou knows how to coax others.

He also said that he was just coming over for a brief meeting, so that he could translate at the same time.

What a translator!

I didn't expect it to be such a big scene.

The legendary CEO Thomas and Universal's co-chairman Donna obviously noticed Liu Tianxian next to Zhou Yutang, and greeted him with a smile:

"Crystal, nice to meet you."

"Super Body", a movie starring a female protagonist, grossed 440 million U.S. dollars at the global box office, which is a very impressive performance among Hollywood actresses.

But more importantly, Liu Yifei is sitting next to Zhou Yutang, obviously close to her.

That status was beyond the scope of a star, and the old foxes at the Chizha Mall quickly realized that they might be able to make a fuss out of it.

"Me too."

Liu Yifei had a decent smile on her face.

It should be said that she was a little nervous at first, but seeing Zhou Yutang's calm expression, she seemed to have someone to rely on, and she gradually relaxed.

The formal negotiation rhythm soon entered.

"The director's maximum salary, plus box office split, as well as casting, crew leadership, including the right to suggest final edits."

"Zhou, the script will be made according to our ideas. You can have the power to suggest small-scale modifications. You can even use Crystal as the heroine. She is a very good candidate. These are the best conditions we have given. I hope you I can think about it.”

Thomas started the group, and then Donna came on the stage. The woman's voice was even more bewitching: "Zhou, this is also an excellent opportunity for you to strengthen your influence in Hollywood and around the world."

"Work with us and use the resources of Universal and Legendary to pave the way, coupled with the support of China Film Group in China, and your influence, this is destined to be a great project."

"Just imagine, our Global Data Department, the top team in charge of China and the United States, has an initial box office estimate for this movie that will not be less than 700 million U.S. dollars. It may hope to hit 1 billion U.S. dollars at the box office. By then, you will be The second director Nolan"

It has to be said that this woman has a strong personality charm in being able to achieve the position of co-chairman of Universal.

It was as if the words coming out of her mouth, those beautiful prospects were right before our eyes.

Even Liu Yifei was a little confused by the deception.

She mentioned herself a little unexpectedly, but she didn't move at all and did her job of translating conscientiously.

He leaned forward and whispered in Zhou Yutang's ear.

Zhou Yutang is also a master of cake painting. No matter how much she blew her mind, she was not moved. She quickly caught a new word:

“Final cut suggestion rights?”

"Yu Tang."

La Pei Kang pushed up his glasses and explained from the side: "This is the sincerity of Legend and Universal. Let's make a compromise and we will discuss it when the time comes."

"Zhou, we respect your abilities, and we also respect Chairman Pei Kang."

Legendary CEO Thomas showed a confident smile on his face: "That's why I made an exception for you and made a big concession. If you have no problem, then we can enter the next stage of contract discussions soon."

Miss Liu was thinking about how to translate, when Zhou Yutang spoke first: "Unfortunately, Mr. Thomas, Ms. Donna, we couldn't reach a consensus. If I had all the control, including the script, to casting, and finally The power to edit into a film, not just a suggestion”

"Zhou, don't you think about it again?"

"There's no point in continuing the discussion. You can't give me what I want."

"I think you will definitely regret it."

Thomas' face looked a little ugly: "This kind of opportunity doesn't come around all the time."

"It doesn't matter, I hope you all have a good time in heaven."

Zhou Yutang looked calm, stood up, and said to Pei Kang: "Director, I have something to do in our company, so I'll go back first."

He wanted to give Pei Kang face, so he followed up and had two rounds of talks.

It's not appropriate to talk now, so Pei Kang can't say much.

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then picked up her small bag and followed Zhou Yutang out of the conference room.

Seeing his boss stand up and leave, Jiangdong's business team and legal affairs also left with him.

When he came out, he received a call from Pei Kang who explained the situation. Zhou Yutang smiled and expressed his understanding.

Everyone knows that even if this project fails, it will not affect the cooperative relationship between Jiangdong Entertainment and China Film.

"Xiao Zhou, don't you think it's a pity? People from Legend and Universal have said that it has the potential to hit 1 billion U.S. dollars at the box office."

After getting in the car and being alone with Zhou Yutang, Liu Tianxian became cheerful.

"Miss Liu, I just asked you to be the heroine, but I rejected it. Do you think it's a pity?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Liu Tianxian rolled his eyes in an unladylike manner: "They are not so kind. They just want to use me as a bargaining chip to get you into the trap."

"You know this as well?"

Zhou Yutang looked at Liu Tianxian differently.

The old Miss Liu seems to have grown up a bit.

"Of course, I am naturally beautiful and smart. Ouch."

Before she could finish feeling proud, Zhou Yutang hugged her around the waist and took her fragrant plump body into her arms.

The earth never revolves around one person.

Legendary and Universal have to consider the performance of the global film market.

What La Pei Kang wanted was the stability and accuracy of the co-production project between the two countries, but Zhou Yutang's original intention of doing this project was based on respecting the domestic audience.

Everyone's fundamental concepts are in conflict, and naturally they cannot cooperate.

After listening to Zhou Yutang's simple explanation of the stakes, Liu Yifei felt enlightened and showed a smile as bright as water.

"Xiao Zhou, you looked very handsome just now."

"To each other, the female translator is also very beautiful today."

Zhou Yutang put his hand on Liu Tianxian's thigh.

Knowing that she wanted to be a translator, Liu Yifei went to change into a professional suit at noon.

Wearing a black hip-hugging skirt, it only reached three-thirds of the way to the knee.

You can see the shapely and slender calves and delicate jade ankles, all wrapped in black stockings, a standard urban girl dress.

"Oh, don't move."

Liu Tianxian's legs were wrapped in thin black stockings, tightly holding her restless little hand.

Soft and delicate, with amazing elasticity.

While they were flirting, the phone rang several times without any response. It wasn't until Liu Tianxian pinched Zhou Yutang's waist that he answered the phone.

"Mr. Han?"

"I'm retired now, let's call him Lao Han."

"That won't work. I'm used to calling you Mr. Han."

Zhou Yutang quietly put his hand on Liu Tianxian's leg, and she didn't resist. She leaned her head on Zhou Yutang's shoulder and stared at that particularly beautiful face.

The two were very close, and she seemed to be able to smell the man's faint scent. She didn't wear perfume, but it smelled very good, and it felt a bit refreshing and comfortable.

Liu Tianxian listened curiously to the conversation between the two.

This incident alarmed the entire Tianchao entertainment circle, and Han Sanping also paid a lot of attention. When he heard that Zhou Yutang quit on his own initiative, he sighed with emotion: "Yu Tang, you did the right thing. The "Kung Fu King" back then was a lesson learned from the past. Pei Kang wanted to get rid of me. The impact of this is a bit too hasty.”

"."

Han Sanping, who was on the outside and could see clearly, inevitably made a few complaints, but Liu Tianxian, who was affected by the AOE, curled his lips.

That movie can also be said to be a shadow in her life.

If Zhou Yutang hadn't turned the tide and helped her deal with the subsequent consequences, she couldn't imagine how miserable her end would be.

Thinking of this, she hugged Zhou Yutang tighter.

"Li An and Zhang Yimou both have projects in hand, including people like Sunglasses King, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, and Wu Baige."

Han Sanping shook his head when he spoke: "Let Wang Jiawei do it. Whether it can be done in five years is a question. Feng Xiaogang can't handle such a big scene. Brother Chen Kai, he..."

Old men always like to talk a lot, but since he is not in the right position, he can only complain to Zhou Yutang in private.

People are always different.

If Han Sanping climbed up from the bottom, then La Peikang is a typical scholar.

He has lived in France for many years and is well versed in the operation and cooperation of the international film market. He also participated in the formulation of the relevant procedures and regulations for the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters in the current Chinese film market.

Perhaps his vision is broader than Han Sanping, and his comprehensive ability is stronger than Han Sanping.

But after all, he lacks the domineering bandit spirit of Han Sanping.

Zhou Yutang is 90% sure.

If it were a mountain eagle, he would definitely be so domineering as to overturn the table and take the initiative when he encountered this situation.

"Boss Han, Mr. La must have his own ideas and concerns."

Han Sanping can complain, but Zhou Yutang can't say some things casually, so he just laughed: "Anyway, my script is still in my hand. When the time comes, you can come and see if this project has been completed?"

"Ah?"

Han Sanping was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "You want to start a new project?"

"It's not really starting a new project. My script is completely different from "The Great Wall."

Zhou Yutang's hand wandered along the thigh wrapped in black silk, and said calmly: "This is how I do things."
