Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

"It's a pity that we didn't talk about Yu Tang next week."

"The news from my side is that he has a movie to be released in the second half of the year, and he even has projects in Hollywood."

Ke Liming pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and analyzed: "Jiang Dong also has a few movies, including Zhang Yimou's movie project, but at least he has relented, and the movie copyright should be fine."

“It’s just a bit expensive.”

"It's expensive for its own sake."

"We might as well ask the professionals for their opinions."

After the dinner, Ke Liming and Zhang Qiang gathered privately in the club, and both turned their eyes to the other person at the table:

"Director Zhang, what do you think?"

This man has a crew cut, a shiny forehead, and a slightly rough face under a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looks like middle-aged Zhang Chenyue, and has a big beard.

It is Zhang Yibai, a famous director in Beijing circles.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ke, it's best if Zhou Yutang joins the game, it doesn't matter if you don't."

Zhang Yibai smiled slightly and said with wisdom: "Alibaba and Ruyi have joined forces, and with this super IP, it is completely significant."

"Could it be that without him, Zhou Yutang, we won't be able to have fun anymore?"

"We can definitely spend a lot of money to hire a top-notch creative team from Hollywood, carefully produce it, and make an epic fairy tale blockbuster!"

"Jiangdong Entertainment estimates that it will make a TV series version next year, and we can take advantage of this opportunity."

The next day, early morning.

With the warm sunlight filtering through the curtains, I looked at the beauty sleeping beside Begonia.

At this time, not wearing any makeup is different from looking beautiful in front of the camera, which is full of impact.

Just like hibiscus emerges from clear water, it naturally removes the carvings.

Liu Yifei was wrapped in a thin silk quilt, and the green silk was scattered on the pillow like splashed ink.

I don’t know what kind of sweet dream I had, and my long eyelashes were trembling slightly.

We went to the fairyland together until half past two o'clock last night.

Miss Liu has to catch up on her sleep, probably until noon.

Zhou Yutang, however, has an amazing physique and high energy. Four or five hours of sleep is enough to keep him full of energy.

After washing up, I went to the gym as usual, wearing headphones and listening to Ni Ni’s itinerary report.

"The web game of "Nirvana in Fire" has been completed. As for the mobile game of "Flower Thousand Bones", Xingchen is still developing it. There will be a video conference at the company in the morning..."

"La Pei Kang from China Film Group and Ren Zhonglun from Film Group are coming over to discuss the share."

"Then it's the post-film period, and I have an exclusive interview scheduled for the afternoon, which will be held at the company."

Ni Ni was as rigorous as ever and managed her time in an orderly manner. Zhou Yutang had a casual chat with her.

Then I went to take a shower. When I returned to my room, I suddenly received a message.

Ke Liming, who had just met at the dinner last night, was probably not sure whether he would disturb Zhou Yutang.

He didn't call, but sent a message explaining his intention.

He is very interested in Zhou Yutang's share of the "Meg" movie project.

After communicating for a while, we made an appointment to meet at the company.

Looking back, I happened to see Liu Yifei stretching.

A pair of snowy lotus arms poked out from the silk quilt, and the whole room seemed to light up.

Zhou Yutang's mouth gradually revealed a meaningful smile.

The boss of Ruyi Pictures is smarter than he imagined.

As expected of someone who came from an investment bank, he is a very good person.

Zhou Yutang used to use his own money to do his own projects.

By fighting steadily, we have just conquered the huge country in Jiangdong.

It's just that times are changing, and so is his gameplay.

With his fame in the film and television industry, it can be said that he is at the height of his popularity.

Climb high and shout, and followers will gather.

For a major Sino-US co-production project like "The Meg", Zhou Yutang holds 60% of the share.

The female celebrities in the circle are staring at the heroine, and all of them want to be on top.

But there are also people who are interested in the influence brought by the entire Sino-US co-production project and want to get involved.

"What day is it today? Why did the leaders of Shanghai Film and China Film and Television leave just now, and the boss of Ruyi Pictures is here again?"

Mao Xiaoyu didn't have many things at hand, so he went up to the ninth floor to chat with Ni Ni. As a result, he saw several big names in the industry entering and leaving the chairman's office one after another.

Ni Ni crossed her legs gracefully, picked up the coffee, and took a sip: "The boss has a project to discuss."

"My own 30% share will remain unchanged. China Film and Film Group will each contribute 110 million, and each will receive a 10% share."

"Ke Liming of Ruyi Pictures wants 10% of the share, and it costs 130 million."

"."

Ni Ni suddenly admired his boss.

It's equivalent to doing nothing, changing hands at a premium, and earning tens of millions.

The key is to play a bright card and make sure that no one feels that they are losing money.

She received them in person and watched Pei Kang and Ren Zhonglun come out with happy faces. When she saw Ke Liming coming out, she was also overjoyed.

After rubbing Zhou Yutang's shoulders, Ni Ni couldn't help but ask,

"Boss, why did Ke Liming pay such a premium to acquire the share? Didn't he already have the Journey to the West project in hand, and he wanted to buy the copyright of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" from Alibaba?"

"Then you have to ask him."

The female secretary's technique was just right, and there was a sweet fragrance coming from the back of her head. It was inexplicably comfortable. Zhou Yutang laughed softly:

"Which company is talking about share acquisitions with Confucianism from Kelley?"

"Last year, Zhongji Holdings wanted to acquire Ruyi with a valuation of 1.5 billion yuan. This year, it seems that Tianshen Entertainment has also set its sights on Ruyi Pictures."

Ni Ni's mind turned slightly and she reacted quickly.

As Zhou Yutang's secretary, she not only had to assist in arranging his schedule, but also had to be sensitive to the entire industry.

"Hehe, he is a rare smart man. The more chips Ruyi Pictures has, the more value it will generate when it is put on this plate."

"By the way, you go to connect with Zou Zhongyan to confirm the director and the actor. Warner will jointly issue a notice at that time."

"And the matter of Ali's copyright, you ask Jiang Xuehui to take care of it. It will only take two days."

Wearing high heels and completing the task assigned by Zhou Yutang, Ni Ni stood at the elevator entrance on the ninth floor waiting for the elevator. She suddenly remembered what Zhou Yutang said to her,

"Only unequal transactions can achieve a win-win situation."

In mid-September, the person in charge of the South Korean Show box came to Jiangdong Entertainment.

The discussion was about the release of Now You See Me 2 in South Korea, and also about the promotion of the South Korean film Assassination produced by Showbox in China.

This film is directed by Choi Dong-hoon, who is also the director of the Seoul Heist and Tazza series, and has a super luxurious cast of Jeon Ji-hyun, Ha Jung-woo, and Lee Jung-jae.

It tells the story of the assassination of pro-Japanese factions by the Korean Independence Army in Shanghai in the 1930s.

It was filmed in Shanghai last year and was quite popular.

Zhou Yutang heard about this film from Yoona. After it was released in South Korea this year, the number of viewers exceeded 10 million, leading the annual box office list, and even made it into the top ten of the South Korean box office list.

If you want to come to China to beg for food, you know to pay homage to the Grand Commander.

"The movie is scheduled to be released on the 24th. Director Choi Dong-hoon and starring Lee Jung-jae, Ha Jung-woo, and Jun Ji-hyun will fly to China to participate in the promotion of "Assassination" in China. Please take care of it!"

"My schedule is full. I will ask Mr. Jiang Dongli to attend the media conference at that time."

"Thank you very much, President Zhou!"

The person in charge of Show Box bowed 90 degrees with a spirit of craftsmanship.

"Haha, you're welcome. The National Day is a very good schedule."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Waiting for "Assassination" will be "Lost in Hong Kong" scheduled for the 25th, and "Now You See Me 2" scheduled for the 27th.

The National Day is of course one of the best schedules in China.

But it also depends on whether you have enough strength to eat this piece of cake.

"Breaking news! Jiangdong Entertainment and Alibaba Pictures have reached an agreement on the copyright transaction of "Eternal Love", and the final price may break the copyright transaction record in the circle!"

"Alibaba Pictures' official spokesperson said: 'The first IP of fantasy love' will be on the big screen!"

"The super IP movie has started, who are the Bai Qian and Ye Hua in your mind?"

Brother Qiang is resolute and decisive. After the dinner, Alibaba's team quickly entered the Jiangdong Entertainment Building to negotiate the takeover of the copyright.

Zhou Yutang nodded and signed the contract within two days.

The movie copyright was purchased at a sky-high price of 80 million. The payment was very straightforward. The first remittance of 20 million has been received.

The rest will be paid in batches, and Alibaba's pre-prepared press release will be released simultaneously.

The topic of "Eternal Love" quickly occupied the hot searches on forums and Weibo.

Cai Yinong of Tangren Film and Television was in the crew of "The Legend of Yun Zhifan" and made a special phone call to inquire.

She had long coveted the film and television copyright of "Three Lives Three Worlds".

Just after hearing Zhou Yutang's expected price for the copyright in Jiangdong, the little flame in Lao Cai's heart was extinguished.

Last year, the company was supported by the eldest brother and the eldest sister, and the total profit of Tangren Film and Television was just over 80 million.

This year, the online drama in cooperation with Bilibili has been a big hit, and it is expected to make a profit of over 100 million.

She is a conservative type, and can only accept a copyright price of a few million at most. It is impossible for her to bet all of Tangren's annual profit on a single project.

Lao Cai is short of money and can only satisfy his curiosity, but Alibaba has no worries.

Teacher Ma has said that Alibaba will become the leader in the entertainment industry.

Then it is necessary to operate a big project. "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has been selling well since it became popular online in 2008, and has countless loyal fans.

So far, the cumulative sales of various versions of physical books have exceeded 2 million copies.

Even the English version ranks among the top Chinese novels sold on Amazon's official website.

Baidu search exceeds 200 million!

Big data deduction has come to this conclusion, so Alibaba is willing to take over this truly first IP of fantasy love at all costs.

Don't buy the right one, just buy the expensive one.

This is the charm of Alibaba's big entertainment.

Whether at home or abroad.

Everyone seems to be very concerned about how much money celebrities in the entertainment industry make.

In late September, the ranking of the world's highest-paid actresses this year was released.

Oscar-winning actress and cousin Jennifer Lawrence, with a pre-tax income of 52 million US dollars this year, won the championship throne and stood out from the crowd.

Black Widow Scarlett Johansson followed closely behind, earning 35.5 million US dollars this year, and is also very popular.

But what is surprising is that.

Teacher Fan from China actually took the third place with an income of 23 million US dollars.

"Binbin is mighty, according to the current exchange rate, it is 147 million RMB!"

"What a joke, how come Jinsuo, a carpet star, has such a high income?"

"You don't understand this, right? Teacher Fan can no longer be simply considered a female star, she is a wealthy family herself."

"Sister, I don't want to work hard anymore."

"."

When this list came out, there was a lot of discussion online.

Teacher Fan's fans are proud.

For fans, self-paid income is also a tool to pull down and criticize.

Her fans are extremely active, such as Sister Lianhua, International Zhang, Xu Jinglei and other rivals, whose commercial value cannot be compared with Teacher Fan.

But apart from Teacher Fan, who is the only one standing out.

The money-making ability of Jiangdong female artists is also terrifying.

Qingyi Niangniang Zeng Li looks low-key, but unexpectedly she is also ranked in the top ten of the list.

In addition to the first-tier film remuneration, brand endorsements account for the majority of income.

Among the 85 flowers, the most profitable ones are not Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi.

But Yang Mi.

Some enthusiastic netizens have summarized the commercial endorsements and announcements of several 85 flowers into a table.

Finally, the conclusion is: In terms of net worth, Yang Mi is actually not as good as Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi.

But in terms of quantity, she has more than the two Lius combined.

This year alone.

Da Mimi has starred in 11 film and television works and has 13 endorsements.

This list only counts the commercial value of stars, and some investment income and opaque stock market operations are not included.

Someone found the financial report released by Sohu. The summer movie "Pancake Man" controlled by the main project was a big hit at the box office. Da Mimi brought money into the group, and roughly deduced the box office share she could get.

Then, some fans continued to dig deeper and saw Zhou Yutang's name in the shareholder column of Mixing.

"Damn, he's actually a shareholder of Mixing Company? It turns out that Big Mimi is working for the Grand Commander?"

"Zhou Yutang, you arranged so many trips for Sister Mi, you're such an unscrupulous capitalist."

"Tsk tsk, it turns out that Zhou Yutang is behind the scenes, no wonder Mixing's financing went smoothly."

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, saying all kinds of things.

Thinking of the recent actions of Mixing Company, it is suspected that the Grand Commander is the man behind Big Mimi.

Zeng Jia said with emotion: "Boss Zhou just made a few words, and we made more money than the company has been operating for a year."

Some people are really gods, not at the same level at all.

"Mimi, have you contacted him recently?"

"We chat occasionally. He just came back from abroad and has to do post-production of movies. He's very busy."

Yang Mi said, and selected a good-looking photo from the dozens of photos taken by the assistant.

Edit Weibo and click send.

In fact, netizens really wronged Zhou Yutang.

As for the Mixing business, he doesn't like it very much.

Just take one of Jiangdong's own TV series, and the revenue can be equal to the efforts of Mixing Company in a year.

There is also the Lunar New Year blockbuster "Detective Chinatown", which has negotiated advertising placements with as many as 18 brands, and the income from this alone is more than a small goal.

Zhou Yutang now has to operate film and television projects, and there are many people to pay for him.

If Jiangdong Entertainment is a multinational entertainment group, Mixing Company is like a self-employed person.

Relying on Da Mimi's hard work and ability, she has carved out a bloody path in the film and television industry.

The details of the financing contract have basically been determined and will be announced next month. Da Mimi is in a good mood when she is happy. She posted a birthday selfie on Weibo and thanked fans for their blessings and support along the way.

The private photos sent to Zhou Yutang are more provocative.

After all, the treatment of the top brother is different from that of ordinary fans.

She probably did a new makeup for "Dear Translator", a black shirt from Valentino with all the buttons open.

Half-covered, the full and rounded lines are like a dream, making people want to bury themselves in it and not want to wake up.

Coupled with the eyes that look at you tenderly and the red lips that you bite lightly, it is enough to turn everyone upside down. Even Zhou Yutang has to sigh that this fairy is really seductive.

"Sister Mi, take it easy. Fans have left messages on my Weibo, asking me not to arrange so much work for you."

Zhou Yutang sent her a message.

Da Mimi's schedule is not a secret.

The company team will disclose most of Da Mimi's schedule.

She only sleeps three or four hours a day. Every day, she is either rushing to make announcements or on the way to make announcements.

A spelling word runs through Da Mimi's life.

"Don't worry about them."

Da Mimi felt warm in her heart: "I'll take care of Chen Yao and wait for her to get up."

Fans think it's hard, but for Da Mimi, it's also sweet.

Her life.

She took the most important step and finally qualified to sit at the capital table.

She was one step closer to the top of the mountain.

Late September.

Section Chief Jia confirmed that "Mountains May Depart" will apply for the Oscar next year.

Taiwan Province is Hou Xiaoxian's "The Assassin".

Art college freshmen returned from military training, and it was said that there were many beautiful girls.

Zhou Yutang took a look and was disappointed.

The only one who was slightly pleasing to the eye was Princess Beibei in "Balala the Fairies".

Zhou Ye, the little girl, was preparing for the art exam of Beijing Film Academy, and she also sent a circle of friends to cheer herself up.

Zhou Yutang gave her a thumbs up.

The October Culture team, led by Liu Wei and Tian Xiaopeng, visited the post-production of "Detective Chinatown".

It was lunchtime, so Zhou Yutang invited them to have a simple meal in the company cafeteria.

Compared with the past, the October Culture team, which has become famous in one battle, has more of the temperament of an elite soldier.

This has been the case since ancient times. Elites are not created overnight. They can only be promoted through bloody battles.

To put it in human terms, the "Monkey King" project was a success, and now they are all worth at least one million dollars. Once they have money, they will look at the world from a different perspective.

"Mr. Zhou!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"

However, the backbone of this elite team still maintained respect for Zhou Yutang. When they saw Zhou Yutang and Liu Wei walking into the small box together, they all stood up.

"You're welcome, please sit down."

"I'll just deal with it at noon today, and I'll continue to work on the post-processing in the afternoon."

Twice-cooked pork, stir-fried liver and kidneys, mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, and seven or eight other home-cooked side dishes.

Everyone ate happily and enjoyed themselves very much.

Since the private kitchen dinner in the courtyard that day, Zhou Yutang has been loving the taste of Sichuan cuisine recently.

The veteran Sichuan cuisine master was already very old, so it was a favor to cook in person, but his protégé was invited over by Qiang Neng.

Compared with the master, the apprentice can be said to be better than the master.

After eating, his stomach felt warm and comfortable, Zhou Yutang stopped his chopsticks and asked with interest: "I heard that you have a new animated film project?"

"The planning document has been prepared."

Director Tian Xiaopeng handed the document over with both hands and explained: "Mr. Zhou, this is a story I had a long time ago."

"Your previous Weibo name was 'Deep Sea Stranger'."

Zhou Yutang looked at the document in his hand and saw the two big characters "Deep Sea", and couldn't help but joked: "It can be seen that it is true love."

"It's a bit of an obsession, but the script is not perfect yet."

Tian Xiaopeng and the people in the October team all chuckled, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

While chatting and reading, Zhou Yutang asked a few questions. After about half an hour, he closed the document:

"I don't have any problems here. I'll go to Li Shuang to make arrangements. Jiangdong Creative Center can assign you two screenwriting teams. You don't have to rush to catch up. You can complete the complete script first."

"The Return of the Great Sage" was a hit at both the word-of-mouth and box office, and the tone was a bit high. The quality of the next film is very important.

Tian Xiaopeng took out this planning document and conducted relevant market research and evaluation in the early stage. It is considered a pretty good project.

The launch of the Mythical Universe series did not happen overnight.

The October culture alone was definitely not enough to realize Zhou Yutang's ambitions, so he continued to recruit troops and found an ally in Guangguang.

Lao Wang recently acquired Caitiaowu Animation, which can be regarded as half of his own.

"Scorching Sun" finally grossed 502 million, a complete failure.

Tom Cruise and the Minions were still killing people at the Chinese Film Market.

There is no single enemy.

In the TV drama circle, the atmosphere has gradually become heated.

Mango Channel has taken the lead among domestic satellite TV stations. Last month, "Beautiful Li Huizhen" came to a perfect end and was succeeded by "Tornado Girl".

This drama is adapted from the novel of the same name "Tornado Herbs". The original author is Ming Xiaoxi. In the past few years, "Bubble Summer" has exploded both on Taiwan and the Internet. She is also a very famous female author in the industry.

This is the first time for the drama to serve as the script coordinator. Director Cheng Zhichao is a TVB veteran, plus Yang Yang, Hu Bingqing, Bai Jingting, Chen Xiang, Tan Songyun, Jiang Yiyi

It can be said that they are handsome men and beautiful women, full of youthful atmosphere.

Before the release of "Nirvana in Fire", Mango Channel successfully achieved the feat of topping the satellite TV ratings list for the second consecutive time.

Mango Channel is about to become great again, and the period drama "Nirvana in Fire" from Suzhou Channel and Shanghai Tomato Channel is now on the air.

Jiangdong Entertainment + Noon Sunshine has a high-quality reputation, a built-in base of drama fans, and is in full swing of drama promotion work.

The popularity continues to rise, and on the first day of broadcast, it was even outdone by "Tornado Girl".

In just a few days, the ratings skyrocketed and the show surpassed the other. The average ratings of Modou Channel were as high as 1.75%, which is expected to break the second level.

Mango Taiwan is very helpless.

It's not that I'm not strong enough, it's that the enemy is too powerful.

It is basically a hit drama if its ratings can exceed two at the moment.

It was a film and television drama produced by Jiangdong Entertainment. It had excellent reputation and multi-channel marketing, which directly aroused the audience's enthusiasm for watching the drama.

For Mango TV, it can’t be said to be a failure.

It can only be said that it is a little regrettable, because due to the restrictions on costume dramas imposed by the General Administration of Radio and Television, each TV station can broadcast a limited number of costume dramas each year.

Mango Channel produced a lot of costume dramas in the first half of this year, and the last spot this year was given to "Flower Thousand Bones", also produced by Jiangdong.

Looking at the ratings of "Nirvana in Fire", the leaders of Suzhou TV and Modu TV opened champagne.

Before this National Day is approaching, you must have heard this saying among your friends,

"I have seen the path of heroes all over the world. I bow my head and there is a plum man on the left side of the river."
