Entertainment: I really want to make progress

La Pei Kang stood by the window.

Watching Jiangdong's cars drive out of China Film Studio, he took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped them gently.

The right eyelid suddenly twitched a few times.

Recently, most of his energy has been devoted to this large-scale Sino-US co-production.

Naturally, they are very optimistic about Zhou Yutang taking over this project.

After all, the brilliant achievements of Tongtiandai in domestic entertainment can be checked.

However, Universal and Legendary also have their own considerations. This film mainly focuses on the global market and will also absorb the Chinese box office.

We still have to focus on the overall situation...

La Pei Kang maintained this posture for more than ten minutes.

The secretary was trembling. He noticed that his boss didn't seem to be in a good mood.

He opened his mouth and closed it immediately. The most important thing for a secretary is to be discerning.

He quietly closed the office door and quietly exited.

"Who else is suitable to manage this project?"

At some point in the sky, dark clouds came and covered the sky. Pei Kang frowned slightly. After all, he still had no clue and sighed softly:

"Then let's watch "The Wheel" first."

Let’s see if this Eastern Titanic can crush the entire Chinese film industry.

Died early in the morning.

Zhou Yutang couldn't stand the condescending attitude of Universal and Legend.

The little respect on the surface could not hide the arrogance in his heart.

These two companies are not the only ones in Hollywood. Among the six major companies, Warner, Disney, and Paramount have all had contact with him.

It is not difficult for Zhou Yutang to start a new Sino-US cooperation project.

"Yu Tang."

Han Sanping persuaded him earnestly: "You are still young, don't be impulsive, let's think about it carefully."

"Mr. Han, if I want to do this project, China Film Group's share will be indispensable."

Zhou Yutang said plausibly: "I see that Dong also has the idea of ​​​​promoting a co-production. I will hedge it when the time comes. Is there no problem?"

Can this be a hedge?

Han Sanping was a little confused, but a little curious: "Tell me, what's going on in your script?"

"Anyway, it's definitely not Baipi who will save the Celestial Empire."

Zhou Yutang briefly told Han Sanping about the script of The Great Wall.

The original script was set in the Song Dynasty.

I have to say, the screenwriter is really talented.

Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows this.

The army of the Song Dynasty was considered a rookie among all the previous dynasties.

This version of the script written by Zhou Yutang directly changed the story to the background of the Qin Dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall, used a strong army to resist foreigners and ferocious beasts, and easily saved the poor white skinned people from Rome.

All Hollywood stars are just green leaves. The focus is on the magnificent atmosphere of the Eastern Fairy Dynasty, the collision with the extraterrestrial civilization behind the ferocious beasts, and the thrilling and dazzling special effects.

"Mr. Han, please come to Jiangdong to read the specific script. Your daughter is also on the screenwriting team."

"What is she doing again?"

"Sister Jia still has great potential for development in screenwriting."

Zhou Yutang is confident enough. For the Chinese audience, he is more interesting than the legendary version of Gretwal.

"Well, young people just want to be energetic."

After pondering for a long time, Han Sanping said in an approving tone: "Your idea is very good, but don't worry, you must communicate in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Well, I listen to Mr. Han."

After Zhou Yutang came out of China Film Group, Bob already knew the result of the negotiation and called him to express his condolences:

"Zhou, those guys only have Sheite in their heads. They don't know what kind of genius you are. I feel sad for them."

Bob has tasted the sweetness.

The few movies this year alone are so sweet that he is about to get diabetes.

Perhaps he had doubts when he first started working together, but Dollar Bill taught him to recognize the reality.

With the game of Tongtiandai, don't have too many ideas of your own, and you can win steadily.

Hearing the old man's high-decibel output on the phone, calling Universal and Legend two pigs, Zhou Yutang held the phone a little further away and said angrily:

"You are really well-informed."

"of course."

Bob smiled: "One of those people sitting across from you today is my old buddy."

Then, the two talked about the announcement of "50 Shades of Grey" and then about "The Conjuring 2". James Wan has already started the preliminary preparations for this movie.

"Zhou, the Mr. J you're interested in is a little troublesome. He's still not interested in superhero projects."

"Then add more money."

"Oh, my dear Zhou, some people just want to pursue art, and money is not the most important thing to such people."

"Is it possible that you didn't add enough money?"

Zhou Yutang said slowly: "If 5 million U.S. dollars is not enough, then increase it to 10 million U.S. dollars. If he doesn't agree, then continue to add more money until he agrees."

"Zhou, you are crazy."

Bob screamed strangely: "According to our project budget, it is impossible to pay him that salary. After all, he is not Leon."

Zhou Yutang smiled lightly: "I only want him."

"Mai Gaide, you have to know that his salary is around US$3.8 million."

Bob's heart was probably bleeding, and he was chattering incessantly.

The content was probably about how many eagle parties he could hold with so much extra money.

"Keep in touch, I look forward to hearing your good news."

Zhou Yutang still had projects to work on, so he was not in a hurry.

But it was necessary to actively show his sincerity. Zhou Yutang was confident that he could convince him after preparing himself mentally.

Liu Tianxian was listening nearby, and during the period, she leaned over to Zhou Yutang's ear and asked softly: "Xiao Zhou, who is that?"

"Crystal?"

Unexpectedly, Bob, the old man, had a sharp ear. Liu Yifei greeted him generously: "Hello, Bob."

"Don't worry, we are talking about serious things, definitely not some party."

Bob smiled and explained: "I guarantee with my personality that Zhou is a gentleman, and he is definitely not someone who would go out to fool around."

This old man was a little too boastful, even if he was as thick-skinned as Zhou Yutang, he couldn't stand it.

"When did you have the party?"

Liu Tianxian puffed his lips.

"Goose"

Bob was stuck, and smiled awkwardly but politely: "Crystal, my signal seems not very good, I'll hang up first, bye."

A busy tone.

This old Deng has already slipped away.

Liu Tianxian raised his white and tender fist towards Zhou Yutang, but it had no killing power.

Zhou Yutang did not explain.

He directly expressed his thoughts with practical actions.

Who drives a Xiali when they can drive a Bentley?

The same reasoning applies. Who would mess around with foreign horses when they can cultivate immortality?

Zhou Yutang's aesthetic taste is still relatively conservative after all, and he only loves oriental beauties.

It's another day of working from sunset to sunrise.

Zhou Yutang, who wanted to take a nap with Tianxian in his arms, was suddenly awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.

"Can you let me sleep? Director Tong?"

Seeing the name on the caller ID, Zhou Yutang woke up instantly and answered the phone: "Director Tong, what instructions do you have?"

"Did I disturb your sleep?"

"A day's plan begins in the morning. I woke up early and prepared to exercise."

"Haha, young people are full of energy."

Director Tong smiled gently: "I heard that you didn't reach an agreement at China Film yesterday?"

"Director Tong, if everyone's goals are not consistent, it's better not to cooperate, so as to avoid unpleasantness later."

"You are so straightforward."

Tong Gang smiled: "I have good news to tell you. After a meeting of several departments, the script of "Operation Mekong" has been approved in principle. What are your plans next?"

"Let's prepare first. It will probably have to wait until next year."

Zhou Yutang smiled slightly: "Thank you Director Tong for your help, otherwise I don't know when this project can be finalized."

This kind of film and television project with a mission nature can get a lot of official support, but at the same time there are also many constraints.

How to pass the review is a big problem.

The Mekong River case in 2011 shocked China, involving violence, murder, flour, and foreign forces.

There are too many sensitive factors.

So more than a dozen versions of the script were submitted, and it took nearly a year to revise.

The answers I got were that it needed to be revised again, and several departments had to go through the process and hold a meeting to discuss it.

As soon as Director Tong took action, the process was completed in just over a month.

It’s still easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.

After talking with Tong Gang, Liu Tianxian, who was in a daze, opened her sleepy eyes: "Xiao Zhou, who were you talking to just now?"

"Director Tong."

"What did he say to you?"

Miss Liu was exhausted last night. When she heard this name, she was more conscious. She supported her chin with her slender hand and leaned sideways. The quilt could not cover her proud curves at all.

"Losing in one corner, gaining in another. I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain."

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Morning exercise."

The heat of the Golden Horse fight has quickly subsided. The most concerned event in the industry recently is the Sino-US co-production of the big project "The Great Wall".

There are news about "The Great Wall" almost every day.

Today, La Peikang visited Jiangdong three times to invite the Grand Commander to come out, and the media who were squatting did take photos of Zhou Yutang leading the Jiangdong team into the China Film.

It is said that the connection has been completed, and the next step is the casting process.

Tomorrow, Feng Xiaogang and Huayi will hold their heads high and enter the China Film again, talking and laughing.

Accompanied by Chen Hong, Brother Chen Kai is in high spirits, as if he has returned to the time when he ascended to the throne in Cannes.

Lao Mouzi also went to join in the fun, and the three major domestic directors were all present.

Not only that, the genius director Xu Ke, Wang Jiawei, Ning Hao, Wu Baige, Chen Kexing and other big directors all went to the China Film to report within a few days.

In this circle, first-class resources will only be connected with first-class directors.

This time, the gimmick of the US-China co-production of a $150 million production has attracted almost all the directors in China. How can those big actresses with their own tricks hold back?

"Tianzhen, how have you been recently?"

"Not bad, Sister Binbin, what's up?"

"Nothing, I just want to chat with you, don't let the relationship fade after not seeing each other for a while."

After finishing the publicity work for "Empress Wu", Teacher Fan walked out of the Mango TV building and smiled professionally at the fans waiting outside the building.

She waved her hand, twisted her waist and got on the business car, and called Yang Tianzhen.

"Sister Binbin."

Yang Tianzhen's voice also sounded sincere: "Without you taking care of me like this before, how can I be where I am today?"

The two of them were happy and sisterly, and when Teacher Fan accidentally mentioned the "Great Wall" project, Yang Tianzhen understood and chuckled:

"Sister Binbin, this project is being discussed by Boss Zhou personally. I don't know the details."

"However, as far as I know, Li Xuexue seemed to have visited Jiangdong Building a few days ago."

Yang Tianzhen didn't know if she was implying: "Sister, your relationship with the boss is much closer than mine. Why don't you ask him personally?"

"Okay, sister understands."

After a few more pleasantries, Teacher Fan hung up the phone. Her eyebrows furrowed, her mind turned, and she secretly spat: "Does this coquettish fox really want to steal the chicken?"

She didn't go to Zhou Yutang either.

I just talked to Zhou Yutang about this not long ago, and I talked about it again when I won the Golden Horse Award.

It would seem a bit deliberate to ask any more questions at this moment.

Teacher Fan has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and has almost become a master. He knows Zhou Yutang's personality and preferences very well.

A woman can act coquettishly and invite favors appropriately, which can increase her interest.

But if you are arrogant and entangled, it will make you feel bored.

As the top star in the industry, Mr. Fan set his sights on "The Great Wall", a top-notch Sino-US co-production, from the very beginning.

However, she is not the only one who is keeping an eye on such a fairy pie. Li Binbin, Jiuji Zhang and other big stars are also secretly exerting their efforts.

This time there was a schedule conflict and I didn't go to Golden Horse, but Teacher Fan had her own channel for information. That bitch from the International Chapter was making a fuss again. If the first sister hadn't been around, she might have succeeded.

Before launching a general attack on Zhou Yutang, she had to figure out who her opponents were.

The secret war between the big flowers started silently, and Zhou Yutang was also disturbed.

International Zhang only tried his hand at Golden Horse, and recently he wants to play the emotional card, using old classmates from the 1996 Chinese Opera to make a fuss, and take the route of Zeng Li's wife.

Sister Lianhua's sister has been running to the Jiangdong Building a few days ago. She probably got news from Hollywood, so she has calmed down a bit in the past two days.

There is also the number of Xu Cainv who just called, and she actually has some ideas.

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead.

If this sister doesn't enjoy his little meat, why is she joining in the fun?

It's useless no matter how hard you try.

Sweet Princess is a contestant who has the strength to let Hollywood give her a separate lottery. Are you competing for the top spot?

Of course Zhou Yutang would not say this to Xu Cainv, he only said that he pushed it, and then left for the premiere of Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming's movie "Coquettish Women Have the Best Life".

Huang Xiaoming is a very interesting person. Both "Chinese Partner" and "Xiu Chun Dao" can be regarded as word-of-mouth works.

But every time he made a good quality film and television drama, he let himself go again and often participated in those unfinished project films that I didn't understand.

The director of this film, Peng Haoxiang, has made "Zhiming and Chunjiao" and was shortlisted for the Berlin Competition.

The most noteworthy one is "Victoria One", which helped the He family's daughter pursue her dream of success in the entertainment industry, and took home the Best Actress trophy at the Sitges International Film Festival in Spain.

He became famous in one battle and can be regarded as one of the most accomplished directors in Hong Kong.

This time, I took over the olive branch dropped by Huayi and used the luxurious equipment of Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun to make a chick movie.

"It's not easy, Yu Tang."

As the leading actor, Huang Xiaoming took the initiative to greet his brothers, and his words were full of emotion.

It was originally scheduled for the Chinese Valentine's Day, but powerful enemies were around at the time, so it was directly postponed to the New Year's Day earlier this year, but we were afraid of a fight between the gods.

In December, the Eastern Titanic and Weihu Mountain are just one step away, no one can afford to offend...

I temporarily moved up the schedule and moved it to the end of November in order to get a head start.

"Brother Xiao Ming, is your schedule okay?"

Zhou Yutang patted him on the shoulder and asked with a smile: ""Xiu Chun Dao 2" will start filming next month."

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything."

Although Huayi has been overshadowed by Jiangdong Entertainment in recent years, it still has the image of a veteran entertainment leader.

Everyone in the industry who received an invitation came, including Huayi's artists, as well as reporters from official media and Internet media.

Many reporters wanted to ask Zhou Yutang about "The Great Wall", but he ignored them all and went straight into the venue. However, he met Xu Jinglei and Li Gengxi.

"Yu Tang."

"Sister Jinglei."

Xu Jinglei was so excited when she called Sister Jinglei. She pulled Li Gengxi and greeted Zhou Yutang warmly: "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Li Gengxi was not a great beauty, but she had a bit of delicate aura in her tenderness. She stared at Zhou Yutang with her dark eyes, showing no trace of shyness.

"Ah hello."

Zhou Yutang chuckled and gestured to the little girl's head: "Have you grown so tall?"

Li Gengxi also naughtily stood up on tiptoes and pushed Zhou Yutang's palm.

"Yu Tang, did you really push me?"

The three of them walked inside together, and Xu Jinglei finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

"Why are you lying to me? I really pushed it."

Zhou Yutang did not hide it, and this news will probably be exposed in a few days.

“It’s such a shame for such a big project.”

Xu Jinglei shook her head, as if feeling a little regretful, and pushed Li Gengxi to Zhou Yutang, hoping that she would join Jiangdong's project.

Zhou Yutang glanced at Mr. Zhou who was not far away, chatting and laughing with Liu Yifei, who had arrived early.

"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

"Sister Zhou Xun said, let me go through your back door to win the heroine of "The Great Wall"."

"Is it the other way around?" Zhou Yutang smiled narrowly.

"Damn it, Xiao Zhou, do you want to die!?"

Miss Liu spoke out word by word, with a dangerous murderous aura on her flushed cheeks.

If it hadn't been for the public, I would have probably seen an immortal come down to earth and punch Zhou Yutang Bangbang twice.

"What were you talking about with Xu Jinglei just now?"

"I told you to take care of Li Gengxi."

"Just that little girl?"

Liu Yifei turned around and took a look, then quietly came over: "She seems quite pretty, Xiao Zhou, what is her relationship with Xu Jinglei?"

It can be seen that gossip is an attribute engraved in the bones of women, and even gods are no exception.

Li Gengxi is probably Xu Jinglei's long-lost daughter. He takes her with him wherever he goes and feeds her with all kinds of resources.

Time passed quickly while talking to Liu Tianxian, and the premiere officially began.

Speaking of Zhou Xun herself, she does have some tomboyish qualities. It is really hard for Zhou Yutang to imagine her acting in chick flicks and following Tang in the drama of two girls competing for husbands.

The coquettish and coquettish Mr. Zhou gave Zhou Yutang goosebumps all over his body.

Facts have proved that no matter how good Zhou Xun's acting skills are, they are not suitable for all roles.

Liu Yifei beside her looked very engrossed and even laughed out loud to save face. This made Zhou Yutang very puzzled.

"Is it that funny?"

"goose."

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and tried her best not to laugh too wildly. Her shoulders trembled and she said: "Rabbits are so cute, why do you want to eat rabbits?"

This is the line spoken by Suitang, the "second most beautiful woman in Bay Province", in "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life", and it has a strong tea flavor.

In reality, there are many tricks. Today, the two of them have no chance to communicate, but when the Governor participated in the Golden Horse last year, she was one of the Taiwanese girls who pounced on him.

Of course, she did not meet the taste of the governor. The tissue with the number written on it in lipstick had long been thrown into the trash can by Ni Ni.

""The Year in a Hurry" beat the Lunar New Year schedule and was released for 18 days, with a total box office revenue of 483 million. Zhang Yibai bluntly said that he is not afraid and dares to fight Wu Baige and Xu Ke!"

"'Interstellar' has gained both good reputation and box office. The total box office revenue of China is 527 million, and it is gradually entering the final stage!"

""Once Upon a Time: Heroes Have Dreams" grossed more than 75 million at the box office in a single week, failing to grab the Lunar New Year slot!"

"The cumulative box office of "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life" in the first three days exceeded 80 million!"

With the postponed screening of "Butterfly Lovers" ending, the total box office has been fixed at 1.505 billion, the Lunar New Year holiday has finally arrived, and the slightly deserted movie market has begun to gradually become lively.

The first thing is to take the lead in releasing a few movies that I don't have enough confidence in, so as to avoid being ruined by the subsequent fight between gods.

No, cannon fodder has already begun to appear before the gods have even appeared.

The new film "Massage" directed by Lou Huohua, which was released on the same day as "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life", received a Golden Horse nomination, and its cumulative box office in three days was only 1.9 million, which can be said to be quite bleak.

Other movies such as "Bad Sister: Breaking Up the Marriage Alliance", "My Early Girlfriend", "Machine Age", etc. all focus on participation.

However, the most shocking thing is "On the Wheel". More than 30% of the films were scheduled, but the box office on the first day only reported 25 million, and its reputation suffered a waterloo.

"The main plot of the movie is messy, the plot is vulgar, and the lines are artificial. It's hard to imagine that this is a movie made by an international director."

"Huang Xiaoming only knows how to act cool and look handsome. What happened to this guy recently? He has been in two bad movies in a row."

"Wu Baige, thief~ni~ma, refund the money, refund the money!"

"Sure enough, it's Wu Baige who was able to shoot "Red Cliff". Please don't step on the bad news. The pictures are as ugly as you can imagine."

"."

The overwhelming curses almost drowned Wu Baige.

There are actors such as Takeshi Kyojo, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, and Tong Dawei who have strong box office appeal in China, as well as Song Hye Kyo and Masami Nagasawa who are also well-known in the mainland.

Just like this, a movie with Chinese, Japanese and Korean stars gathered together, but it only had this box office, and its reputation was already terrible.

It can only be said that the eyes of the masses are sharp.

If a movie is good, it is good, and if it is ugly, it is ugly.

After you sing, I will appear.

In early December, the premiere of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was held.

"Tsk tsk, a huge investment of 400 million, and the original special effects team of "Titanic" was hired."

Ning Hao was also paying attention to the box office performance of this movie and couldn't help but complain to Zhou Yutang: "This is the result. LeTV and China Film will suffer heavy losses."

"Keep your voice down, La Dong is here at today's premiere." Zhou Yutang reminded in a low voice.

"."

Ning Hao was timid and had a desire to survive. He changed his words: "Then this wave is not a big loss. There is still hope for a counterattack. "Tai Ping Wheel" has too much foreshadowing. Isn't there another part?"

"Yu Tang, fortunately you persuaded me not to go."

Thinking about it, Li Dagou felt that he was lucky to survive the disaster: "If he really fell in love, he would probably have a heart attack from anger."

The Oriental Titanic hit a reef and sank just after setting sail, which has become a joke in the industry.

Wu Baige proved it with facts.

In this era, there is no ship to carry him.
