Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Hmph, stinky little Zhou, why are you calling me?"

Miss Liu's voice sounded a little fierce.

But Zhou Yutang breathed a sigh of relief.

If Liu Tianxian was really angry, he wouldn't be "Smelly Zhou" and wouldn't even know his name.

"Classmate Xiao Liu, I haven't contacted you for almost a day. Please send my greetings."

"What are you saying? Aren't you busy with work? Some private party, the kind with many supermodels. How is your figure?"

Although Miss Liu was deliberately suppressing it, Zhou Yutang still heard a hint of sour tone.

"As you know, I get up early and stay up late every day. I have several projects waiting to be processed and an acquisition to negotiate."

"That's my fault. I didn't understand your hard work."

"..."

Ni Ni looked calm on the surface, but actually her ears perked up.

If I hadn’t experienced it personally with Zhou Yutang.

It was hard for her to imagine Liu Tianxian talking like this, and she felt a bit teasing.

"I'm sorry for ignoring your feelings."

Zhou Yutang's tone was just right: "Look, I just finished negotiating the acquisition with them, so I'm going to call you right away?"

"How's it going?"

"I have to go to London next."

A smile quietly appeared on the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth.

Based on his understanding of Liu Tianxian, his anger has probably dissipated by more than half at this time, and he may propose some selfish conditions next.

"Then you just make a phone call?"

Liu Tianxian said softly: "I'm going to Milan to watch the show on the 17th."

"Milan and London don't seem too far away."

"It's quite far. It seems like a four-hour flight."

"It's not too far."

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said: "You will be busy then. After I finish attending the wedding of classmate Milk Tea Zhou, we will meet in London and watch the football game together."

"Then I'll go find you...will it affect your work?"

At this time, Liu Tianxian was actually moved, but still reserved. Zhou Yutang naturally made the decision for her.

"No, that's it."

"Okay, I promise you."

"Ni Ni, please arrange the procedures, as per the old rules."

In the end, it ended with sweet words and successfully coaxed Liu Tianxian into a happy mood.

Zhou Yutang glanced at another cell phone and received Liu Tianxian's itinerary from an insider, then turned around and ordered Ni Ni to do something.

"Um."

Ni Ni responded faintly.

The scumbag's routine is really too deep.

Not only the first sister, who had a bit of a temper, was coaxed to behave properly.

Even Liu Tianxian took advantage of the situation and got it done.

The above are just routine operations.

There will be a crucial step at that time, which is to let a private plane fly to pick up Liu Tianxian's favorite rose.

Coupled with unexpected surprises, it will be the final victory.

If you just use this combination of punches, which woman in the world can resist it?

Ni Ni felt that she was not good enough.

Women are actually emotional animals. The more details like this, the easier it is to impress people.

Once this dragon-slaying skill is unleashed, Liu Tianxian will be forced to control him for at least a day or two.

At that time, everyone will probably have to reflect on whether the requirements for Zhou Yutang are too strict.

The domestic film market has begun to enter a quiet period during the Lunar New Year holiday.

Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" struggled to pass 500 million at the box office. The final box office figure was fixed at 513 million, and it ended with regret.

Zhou Yutang was abroad and heard some gossip from Ni Ni.

Wanda Prince Wang Xiaocong publicly mocked "One Step Away" on Weibo, and the latter did not take it. The official Weibo immediately posted a poster with Wang Xiaocong photoshopped on the head of "Wu Qi", insinuating that he is a nouveau riche.

The two sides were full of fire and started arguing online, but Jiang Wen himself did not respond to this.

It's just that this movie consumed the reputation accumulated by "Let the Bullets Fly", and it was also a bit hurt for him.

"Little Love: Getting Better" directed by Gu Changwei, the fourth giant in the Lunar New Year period, has a box office revenue of 275 million, which has already created the peak box office data of his director's career.

The film's main creators Yang Ying, Chen Chichi and others continued to perform on the road for nearly half a month, working extremely hard.

Zhou Yutang didn't bother to attend the premiere of "20 Again". On the plane to the UK, he received the first-day box office report compiled by Ni Ni.

"Zhengdao Chen did well, with 35.8 million on the first day and 125 million in the first three days of the weekend."

Thanks to Zhou Yutang, the owner of the fruit of face, the film received 30.75% of the film schedule on the first day, simply beating out the weekly champion "Night at the Museum 3".

Only high-rated movies have high box office.

At this time, "Micro Love" has entered its final stage, and the Lunar New Year film will feature the super-popular duo of Zhang Ruojun + Lu Han.

But in fact, these two people are just green leaves. The stars of this drama are Reyza and Gui Yalei.

Maoyan scored 9.3, Guevara scored 9.1, and Douban scored 7.5. The audience gave them unanimously high scores, which is the best recognition of their acting skills.

Due to the special subject matter, the age range of the moviegoers is also wide, and there are even rare scenes of viewers dragging their families with their grandparents who are over 60 years old to the theater to regain their youth.

In any case, the production cost of this movie was only 30 million. Even if the publicity and distribution expenses were added, it was still profitable.

As for Chen Jingfei's top Hollywood production "The Legend of White Ghost: Escape", it was released in the middle of the month. The box office on the first day only reported 3.8 million, and the audience's response was full of boos.

It was released simultaneously in North America, the box office was almost negligible, and the North American audience was quite honest. Rotten Tomatoes only gave it a 7% freshness rating.

This can no longer be described as jumping on the street, it is simply throwing on the street to open the door for his mother - bleeding all the way home.

This can't help but surprise people in the industry.

The era of Lao Chen has passed.

Zhou Yutang closed the laptop screen.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked out the window.

The rising sun bursts through the clouds with its blazing rays, spreading its golden light generously to the world.

January 17th.

England, Yorkshire.

Selby Church, about 30 minutes' drive from the center of York, has a thousand-year history.

This is also one of the few remaining monasteries from the Middle Ages, which is quite rare.

Milk Tea's classmate Zhou specially arranged a car to pick him up. When Zhou Yutang arrived, he was very busy.

He just said hello briefly and handed it over to his assistant Dani to receive him.

The wedding was in the evening, and there was still some time left, so Zhou Yutang walked around.

Looking around the church, you can feel the ancient and solemn architecture, but also the unique Western architectural style that is very different from the East.

The main tower of the Norman-style church has witnessed thousands of years of wind and rain, and the Gothic spire on the east side complements the surrounding Victorian buildings.

According to Dani, these ancient buildings still use medieval glass, which depicts the story of the Banxi tree.

"It's quite beautiful."

Ni Ni followed Zhou Yutang and looked around. He seemed to be infected by this quiet and peaceful environment. He took a deep breath and took out his mobile phone to take pictures of the scenery.

“It’s really a nice environment.”

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, "It's suitable for filming the Conjuring series."

"ah?"

Dani was a little confused, the black man had a question mark face.

Poof!

The first half of the sentence was normal, but the second half made Ni Ni couldn't help laughing.

But if you think about it carefully, the story of The Conjuring Universe does have strong church and religious elements.

The protagonist Allen and his wife are the only exorcists in the world recognized by the church and holding licenses.

The sequel to The Conjuring is set in London in 1977, and is adapted from the real case of the Enfield Prank.

The Allens entered the Hudgison House to investigate, and found that the root of everything pointed to the demon nun Valak.

The Demonic Nun is another spin-off project from the Conjuring universe.

This is also a consistent formula in Hollywood - as long as it can make money, there will be unlimited sequels to the movie.

Currently, "The Conjuring 2" is still in preparation, and series projects are starting to be put on the agenda.

"Boss, this is a wedding venue, can you be more serious?" Ni Ni rolled her eyes in a charming manner.

"Sorry, it's a bit of an occupational disease."

Zhou Yutang withdrew his gaze and put his hands in his windbreaker pockets.

Milk Tea Zhou originally planned to complete a major life event on his 36th birthday.

However, perhaps thinking of his promise to fans to "get married at the age of 35", he stubbornly moved the wedding date forward by one day.

Today's wedding was relatively low-key, and not many people came, about sixty people.

In addition to the parents of both parties, Jay Chou's friends Darren and Hulk were the best men.

Fang Zhiyou and Sun Rui are Kunling's bridesmaids.

Zhou's mother Ye Huimei's eyes were red, as if she had cried, but she could tell she was very happy.

After listening to Dani's introduction, Zhou Yutang learned that Zhou's father had also arrived at the wedding. He was an ordinary middle-aged man who seemed a little at a loss.

Among the friends attending the ceremony, apart from Fang Wenshan, Zhou Yutang and Liu Genghong were relatively familiar with each other. After all, they had played together before.

The fitness expert was very happy and gave Zhou Yutang a solid hug with his well-developed chest muscles.

Except for the photographer arranged by Jay Chou, no media was present.

I heard from Dani that when she returns to Bay Province, she will have another wedding banquet to entertain her friends and relatives who were unable to attend, and then there will be another wedding banquet in Australia, the hometown of Mrs. Tianwang.

Getting married is such a hassle!

Jay Chou and Kun Ling are both Christians and entered into the routine wedding process.

But unlike ordinary weddings, Jay Chou wrote the wedding song himself that was played on the red carpet, and invited a string band to perform it on the spot, which moved Kunling so much.

Melodious music, exquisite dress, white wedding dress.

Fantasy and romance intertwined.

It feels a bit like an idol drama.

Seeing Kunling crying happily, Ni Ni was also a little moved, and whispered beside Zhou Yutang: "Boss, have you ever thought about your wedding?"

"have not thought."

Zhou Yutang shook his head.

He is satisfied with his current living situation.

Although time management is tiring, raising fish in fish ponds is also a lot of fun.

The warm applause brought Zhou Yutang's thoughts back to reality, and he looked at the wedding photos of the two on the big screen.

Milk Tea Zhou really put a lot of thought into it. From Paris, France to Schwann Castle in Germany, to the Charles Bridge in Prague, the Czech Republic, Jay Chou himself scouted and shot the entire process.

The entire wedding process was over, and the wedding banquet was arranged separately and was scheduled at Castle Howard.

This is also the filming location for the movie "Brideshead".

It's said to be a castle, but it's actually an English-style manor.

Atlas is like holding the earth high, with the twelve signs of the zodiac covering it, triggering Zhou Bancheng's passive talent. "If you have the chance, it would be a good idea to buy a manor like this."

It's the tone of the aristocrats in British dramas.

Thinking of the vacation, I occasionally got interested and asked Liu Tianxian, Da Meiyuan and others to change into maid uniforms...

Zhou Yutang was immediately moved.

"Don't be offended if you don't provide good hospitality."

"Understood, congratulations to both of you."

During the dinner, Jay Chou specially brought Kun Ling over to toast, and Zhou Yutang also sent his blessings.

Jay Chou raised his eyebrows, "You want to buy Liverpool?"

This matter has been promoted in a low-key manner and has not been disclosed to the outside world.

But Zhou Yutang told Jay Chou about his itinerary before he came.

Kunling, who had changed into regular clothes, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.

Immediately, I was shocked and speechless.

This is not about going to the Premier League giants to watch football, but directly purchasing a wealthy team.

This is too rich

"If there are no accidents, the results will be available next month at the latest."

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said: "There will be a Liverpool game in a few days. Are you interested in going over and watching it together?"

The public relations during this period were very successful, and now both parties have the intention to reach an acquisition.

But Henry Sr. was also a very shrewd speculator. He wanted higher profits before he was willing to sell his shares.

"What's the date?"

"number 22."

"That's no problem."

Jay Chou raised his eyebrows slightly and extended his fist: "I wish you a smooth acquisition."

"Happy wedding to you too."

Zhou Yutang bumped his fists with him, smiled and sent his blessings.

…

Exit the Sir Thomas Hotel in the old bank building in the city centre.

Ni Ni held up an umbrella for the man next to her.

Looking up at the gloomy sky, Zhou Yutang let out a mouthful of white mist.

After trying the British specialties of fish and chips in the past two days, the Governor, who was not used to it, decided to go to Chinatown and found some comfort.

Chinese people have settled here as early as 1870 AD. Today, Liverpool has the oldest Chinese community in Europe.

Behind her, Liu Yifei came out with a satchel, and Zhou Yutang made an invitation gesture, "Princess, please get in the car."

"Hmph, you asked me to be a maid last night, and now I'm a princess again?"

"Yes, Princess Sissi."

Liu Tianxian, who was completely settled last night, had bright eyes and dark eyes, and his whole face was radiant.

She held Zhou Yutang's hand and got into the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz with the door open.

Looking out through the car window.

The continuous rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans.

Many fans wearing red shirts gathered in the streets and marched towards Anfield, singing the Liverpool anthem.

"You'll Never Walk Alone"

Zhou Yutang sat in the Anfield stands with Henry and his wife, as well as Edwards, then Liverpool's sporting director.

That strong woman Linda was talking to Liu Yifei.

She did a background check on Zhou Yutang.

Of course I know Liu Yifei is one of her beauties.

Last year, he spent a lot of money to get her a leading role in Hollywood, which grossed US$440 million at the global box office.

The classmate Zhou with Milk Tea next to her also brought Kunling, who was in love with the little bird. The two of them wore scarves embroidered with the classic Liverpool emblem around their necks.

There were also many international students from China present, and they quickly recognized Zhou Yutang and Jay Chou in the stands.

Jay Chou + Zhou Yutang!

These two people can be said to be the top celebrities in the current Chinese style.

There is also Liu Tianxian who is also very popular.

There was even an 18|9-year-old white female audience member with a round face and freckles nearby. She even recognized Miss Liu and excitedly shouted, "Wow, Crystal!"

"Hello."

Miss Liu responded with a polite smile.

"You were so cool in "Super Body", can you sign your autograph for me?"

"Of course."

Liu Yifei motioned to the bodyguard beside her to get out of the way, reached out to take the autograph book handed over by the female audience member, and signed her name.

"Crystal, you are so popular."

"Linda, thank you for your compliment. Actually, I didn't do anything special. Maybe I just have better luck."

Linda and Liu Yifei were talking and laughing.

It’s just that old Henry’s face looks a little unsightly.

As a young midfielder from Nottingham Forest with wheat complexion leaped high and headed the ball into the net, the audience burst into deafening cheers of "George Wood".

at this time.

There are less than 3 minutes left before the end of the game.

The score on the field was 1:2, and Liverpool was one goal behind at home.

The black teenager George Wood almost killed the entire game.

Stand tall, hold your head high, open your hands, and stand by the side.

His eyes are firm and resolute, as if he is a king commanding the world.

The final whistle blows.

There are no more miracles.

The score was still a desperate 1:2, and Liverpool lost humiliatingly to the British Championship team Nottingham Forest.

The Liverpool fans cursed and vented their anger wantonly, like an ocean flooding the entire Anfield.

There was even an old fan whose weight was estimated to be 300 kilograms, and he was completely red.

First, he cursed the players and coach Rogers, and then spat at Old Henry in the stands not far away: "You stupid bastard, trash, the team has been run into a mess by you, go back to your America, do what you want." Your circus clown..."

Fans definitely have reason to be angry.

In addition to being eliminated from the Champions League group stage, the league also has a poor record. This year, it may be difficult to even top six.

This is absolutely unacceptable to arrogant fans.

How can the team owners understand football like they do?

Fans in major domestic forums have probably shouted out the famous joke "Spring and Autumn Overlord, Cordyceps Sinensis" to ridicule the declining giants.

The fan was still angry and raised his middle finger at Old Henry, but was forced into a confrontation and taken out of the field by the security personnel.

Old Henry's plan to raise the price with an FA Cup victory came to nothing.

At this time, his face looked extremely smelly, as if it could drip out of ink, and he cursed in a low voice with obviously insulting words.

"This damn brat ruined the whole game!"

"Mr. Henry, it seems that the team's situation is not good."

Zhou Yutang was happy in her heart, but with a regretful expression on her face, she took the initiative to shake hands with old Henry.

"Now, we can talk again."

Every year until the end of the year.

Domestic media always like to conduct various inventories.

For example, annual movie box office rankings.

For example, celebrity salary rankings.

For example, the revenue list of entertainment companies in the circle.

There are various lists and data, and the media exaggerates and praises the high and downplays the low. This is the norm in the industry.

Fans from various houses were beaten to death, and more of them were just spectators watching the show.

Some people are arrogant and some are counter-insurgent, which adds a bit of excitement to the end of the year.

The top spot in the box office rankings is naturally the groundbreaking movie that opened the year, with a total box office of 2.093 billion, making it the top Chinese film box office list, and standing proudly at the top of the pack.

Then there was "Red Ling" directed and starred by Zhou Yutang, with a final box office of 2.018 billion, which is also a monument in the history of Chinese cinema.

Ning Hao's "Blissful", Xu Ke's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", "The Breakup Master", "The End of Time", "Wolf Warrior", etc. followed.

Jiangdong Entertainment’s main control projects account for half of the country and are well-deserved entertainment leaders.

Today's celebrity salary rankings show that Jackie Chan is no longer as brave as he once was, and the Kung Fu Emperor is getting old and has almost retired.

In the early years, when domestic entertainment had not yet developed, Hong Kong kings such as Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau completely dominated China Entertainment's salary rankings.

However, ever since Governor Jiangdong rose to prominence in the entertainment industry, he has been able to take on the responsibility of domestic entertainment alone, which has subtly reduced the salaries of Hong Kong stars.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

Capital has discovered that the box office appeal of so-called big stars in Hong Kong is no longer what it used to be.

It doesn't need Hong Kong stars to carry the box office, but it can still be successful.

For example, the projects controlled by Jiangdong Entertainment rarely use Hong Kong stars, and all of them are still hits.

Zhou Yutang's salary is capped at 100 million.

His celebrity status is no longer on the same level as the celebrities in the industry.

Of course that doesn't mean that he only makes a small amount of money from filming.

Other film and television companies can only have a chance to board Jiangdong's ship if they use their resources to exchange interests.

Under the governor of Jiangdong.

Deng Chao's salary quotation is 18 million, which is higher than that of a top celebrity.

The national popularity brought by Running Man and the performance bonus of the "Now You See Me" series have brought an end to the competition for the No. 1 niche in the entire Mesozoic era.

Huang Xiaoming, who was originally leading Deng Chao, is now half a step ahead.

I lost because I starred in too many bad movies.

Just a Lunar New Year movie called "Taiping Wheel" has caused him countless ridicules. Even Mingjiao fans can't stand it anymore. Thousands of people are running under his Weibo to read the book. Master, don't just accept bad movies. You have to hug the Governor of Jiangdong tightly. thigh.

Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruojun, etc. are in the first echelon of male stars, and their salary quotations fluctuate around 15 million.

As for the female stars, there is no doubt that Liu Tianxian's salary offer of 20 million yuan is the best among all the celebrities.

This is because last year's "Super Body" helped her rise to international status and her influence abroad has greatly increased, so she has a super quotation.

Next are Liu Shishi, Gong Li, Fan Binbin, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun and Zhao Yanzi, with industry remuneration quotes ranging from 15 million to 18 million.

Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Mi, Li Qin, Tang Yan, Zhao Liying, etc. all fluctuate in the tens of millions.

Shuangliu has already overwhelmed the invincible Xiaohuadan of the same generation and is completely on par with Dahua.

But what was more lively was the discussion about the company's revenue. At the end of the year, except for Jiangdong Entertainment's usual low profile.

Entertainment companies in the industry are starting to boast.

"We at Huayi have been the industry leader since the entire entertainment industry was standardized."

"Then why did you reduce your stake in Huayi?" a reporter asked.

At Huayi's media briefing at the end of the year, Mr. Wang made a rare announcement: "There is no other reason to reduce the company's shares. It is purely due to children, personal finance and new investment projects."

"You just spent 61 million US dollars, or about 377.5 million yuan, to take a picture of Van Gogh's last painting "Daisies and Poppies" just for investment?"

"Well, I personally prefer art. I believe this is a valuable investment."

The king is always quite proud: "In troubled times, I bought gold and kept safe antiques. Now we are in a peaceful and prosperous time. Besides, it's not expensive, haha."

"Your investment philosophy is a little ahead of its time."

The reporter continued to ask: "Huayi has been promoting de-filming recently. Does this mean it will gradually transform from the film and television industry?"

"Huayi and Jackie Chan's movie "Lion from the Sky" will be released soon during the Spring Festival, and "Old Paoer" starring Xiaogang is definitely a masterpiece worth looking forward to.

We, Huayi, started out as a film and television company. The grand strategy of de-filming does not mean abandoning the film business. Next year, we will continue to promote the "H Plan" to support new directors and make the company's film types more diverse.

So far, we have taken a path that others have never taken and dare not take. We are improving the layout of the domestic entertainment industry and helping the growth of China's cultural industry. Next year, we will continue to expand our influence internationally.

Jiangdong did well this year, but next year, Huayi will integrate the resources of the entire entertainment industry chain to let everyone see the strength of the big brother."

"Thank you for your interview. We are looking forward to Huayi's next big move."

This year, Huayi's influence in the film and television industry is gradually weakening. The appearance of President Wang in front of people and the speech have stabilized the morale of the troops.

"Support President Wang, President Wang is domineering!"

"Opening up the entire entertainment industry chain, the pattern is too big."

"Tsk tsk, President Wang is going to say that he will compete for the leader, so there will be a good show next year."

"Zhou Yutang is still too young, and he lacks a little foundation compared to President Wang. "

There are many voices in the industry supporting Da Wang.

Huayi was originally the leader in the industry.

Jiangdong Entertainment was still a small studio at that time, and the two kings of Huayi had already stood at the top of this circle.

Now Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Entertainment is too strong and developing too fast.

Although he made the cake bigger and promoted the development of the entire Chinese film and television industry to a certain extent, the biggest piece of the cake was also eaten by him.

Seeing Zhou Yutang making a lot of money, many people felt more uncomfortable than losing money themselves.

Human nature is like this.

At this time.

Zhou Yutang has quietly returned to China, and there are many shocking news with it
