Chapter 80 When you are proud, you must have all the fun [Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket]
Zhou Yutang is really considering changing the car.
The main reason is that the TV station also paid the final payment.
In addition to the miscellaneous income he made in South Korea some time ago + new book royalties + commercial performances + scriptwriting income + song ringtones, etc., after deducting taxes and subtracting various investments, the studio’s books There are still nearly 7 million funds.
When the show "Let's Get Married" is sold in the first round, there will be at least several million in revenue.
Zhou Yutang is not a person who doesn't know how to enjoy things. If you have money, you have to improve your living conditions.
The initial intention is to buy a Land Rover first, and then use this Passat as the official car of the studio.
The car has not been arranged, but the house has been settled first.
The landlord named Gao Mei came back from abroad a few days ago and made an appointment with Zhou Yutang to meet at the agency.
“Zhou Yutang!”
Gao Mei looked slightly surprised and said: "I know you. To be honest, I didn't expect you to be the one who bought my house."
She originally thought she could spend nearly two million at a time to buy her house. The person who bought the house was supposed to be a middle-aged man with a successful career, but I didn't expect it to be a young man in his 20s.
And this young man is Zhou Yutang, who is very popular in the entertainment industry recently.
Although Gao Mei was curious, she did not want to explore Zhou Yutang's privacy in person. She only said that they would take a photo together later, and Zhou Yutang readily agreed.
The communication between the two parties was very smooth.
Gao Mei was transferred to New Zealand for work, and her family was planning to settle there. Seeing that housing prices in Beijing dropped slightly this year, and experts said there would continue to be a downward trend, she was very business-savvy and decisively sold her house in Beijing.
In order to avoid trouble, Zhou Yutang specially found a reliable real estate agent to help handle the matter.
As soon as the money was transferred here, the contract was signed, and the transfer procedures were completed quickly.
The deal is done.
Feeling the key in his pocket, Zhou Yutang felt a little emotional.
One of my goals when I first entered college has been achieved.
Since then, he has established a foothold in the capital, but the two-year contract he signed for the apartment he rented years ago has not expired and he has not returned.
Keep it as a spare tire. It mainly depends on your itinerary. You can stay wherever is convenient.
According to Zhou Yutang's expectation, one house is far from enough.
The cunning rabbit has three houses. If he wants to avoid falling over, he must buy at least a few more houses in the capital.
Well, there’s a long way to go.
…………………………
“Uncle Wu, I grew up watching Captain Little Tiger.”
“A Tang, don’t always call me uncle , I’m really not that old.”
On the crew of "Those Years", Thunder Tiger chatted with Zhou Yutang. When he mentioned age, he looked at Zhou Yutang speechlessly.
"It's true that he is not old, he is less than twenty years older than me."
"."
Wu Qilong's expression twitched.
Zhou Yutang hugged Wu Qilong familiarly, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't mind, I'll trouble Brother Long this time."
The two of them also got to know each other well before they started talking about this. Kind of a joke.
Thunder Tiger is a living fossil who debuted in the last century and has been in the entertainment industry for many years. He is considered a contemporary of Zhou Zhengping.
“It’s just a cameo, it’s a small thing.”
Wu Qilong has a good relationship with Tangren Film and Television, and Zhou Yutang found Thunder Tiger through Cai Yinong.
His guest role in this drama is that of the middle-aged wealthy businessman whom school belle Liu Jiayi finally marries in the final wedding scene.
Very realistic, no problem at all.
In reality, most of the school beauties are married to wealthy businessmen who made their fortune with billions of dollars, or to the sons of wealthy businessmen.
Wu Qilong is quite interesting. He didn’t get paid for his cameo this time. Knowing that it was a project invested by Zhou Yutang, he was very polite to him.
Zhou Yutang is naturally happy to see the results. Although the Little Tigers are no longer at their peak, they still have a basic base of popularity in Wan Province.
In the future, when the movie is released in Wan Province, a little hype will increase the box office to some extent.
“Ah Tang, I heard that you have a good relationship with Mr. Zhang from National Film and Television?”
The two chatted for a while, Wu Qilong accidentally mentioned this topic, and Zhou Yutang understood in his heart that this brother wanted to develop in the mainland film and television industry in recent years.
That’s right.
Recently, the popular idol dramas in Wan Province are about rich and handsome people falling in love with poor girls.
What is popular now are idols like Luo Zhixiang and Huo Jianhua. Thunder Tiger is now 40 years old, and he can't get suitable roles there, so he wants to go to the mainland to make money.
“It’s easy to say, there is a chance to introduce Uncle Zhang to Brother Long.”
Zhou Yutang smiled and said casually.
"Ah Tang, thank you very much, you are so loyal!"
Thunderbolt Tiger is also very grateful.
It’s amazing that Zhou Yutang has only filmed one movie since his debut. This movie, "Want to See You", also had explosive ratings in Benzhou. According to Wu Qilong, many Taiwanese girls there are obsessed with him.
Wu Qilong has a close relationship with Tang people and knows a lot of inside information about Zhou Yutang.
They are all veterans who have been around for decades, and of course they know the principle of multiple friends and multiple paths, so he did not put on any airs of being an old-timer in front of Zhou Yutang, but instead consciously made friends with her.
While chatting with Thunder Tiger, Liu Shishi came over and patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder: "Why are you still chatting here? Sister Fen is looking for you, and Brother Long is also here."
"Shi Shi, do your best for the kissing scene with Ah Tang later."
Thunderbolt Tiger nodded and joked.
He doesn’t have much of a role to play. He just puts on makeup and stands on the stage as a middle-aged wealthy businessman to watch.
"Um, thank you Brother Long, I will try my best."
Liu Shishi glanced at Zhou Yutang secretly, saw that he calmly threw a mouth-clearing lozenge into his mouth, and also stretched out his little hand: " Give me a piece, too.”
The last shot of the whole movie will be shot later.
It’s the kiss scene between Liu Shishi and Zhou Yutang.
That is a scene imagined by Zhou Yutang in the play. It aims to compare the ideal youth with reality and shock the audience.
Zhou Yutang behaved very skillfully, and this was not the first time he kissed Liu Shishi. Wen Muye, who was sitting behind the monitor, was dumbfounded.
If we shoot like this, the film will be finished in less than a month.
“Crack!”
Lin Yufen, who had been there before, could not hold back her composure and called Zhou Yutang over to see the effect and confirm that there was no problem.
The main reason was that the two of them had tried out the scene many times in private, and now they cooperated very smoothly. This scene only took one shot.
This was the last scene of the drama. Zhou Yutang was in a pretty good mood and shouted:
"OK, it's done!"
It was actually just a moment when I heard the word "finalized" coming from Zhou Yutang's mouth. things.
But to the actor, it is like a free-falling stone falling into the water, causing countless ripples.
First there was a sense of relief and relief, and then a sense of loss slowly began to spread in my heart.
Zhou Yutang watched the crew members excitedly high-fiving and hugging each other, but there was not much in his heart.
He has already acted in two dramas. When he finished filming for the first time, he still had some feelings in his heart and had a bit of ambition to make a blockbuster success.
When "Fairy Sword III" was completed, I was very calm, silently adjusting my state and getting out of the character.
This is also a process of progress.
However, "Those Years" was the first time he looked at it from a director's perspective, and it was a somewhat novel experience.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Stand up and clapped his hands.
All the eyes of the audience were focused on Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang cleared his throat and said: "Don't get excited, everyone, go back and clean up. There will be a finals banquet at Xiaoxiang Mansion tonight. No one will be absent. You will not come back unless you are drunk tonight!"
This is a relatively high-standard hotel in Beijing, and the arrangements are considered to be in place.
"Long live Director Zhou!"
Everyone in the crew howled at the top of their lungs, and those who had ribbons and salutes in their hands went wild.
After more than a month of filming, everyone is in a tense state of mind. Now that I hear the filming is finished, I feel a sense of relief and urgently need to vent.
"Yu Tang, reporters from outside the crew have arrived, please get ready."
Li Shuang came over to say hello, and Zhou Yutang also nodded slightly and attended with the creative team.
"Director Zhou, how do you feel about being a director for the first time?"
"Director Zhou, maybe when will it be released?"
"Director Zhou, what's next for Kodong Studio? What project?”
Looking at the long guns and short guns gathered in front of Zhou Yutang, Lei Datou couldn’t help but secretly speak.
Looking at Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruojun, Liu Shishi and others, they were very calm, as if they had long been accustomed to such scenes.
Director Zhou is really awesome.
Lei Datou was filled with indescribable admiration. Zhou Yutang is younger than him and debuted later than him, but he has already accomplished something that many people have not been able to accomplish in more than ten years.
Some people are destined to be the best.
“Just be quiet.”
Zhou Yutang knocked on the table, took the microphone and said slowly: "Come one by one."
"It's very interesting to be a director for the first time. My team also helped me a lot, and the crew also helped me a lot." They are all very good actors, and I am very happy to work with them. I personally have great confidence in this movie."
"It's hard to say when it will be released. It still needs to be done in post-production, but it should wait until after the year. Please support me when the time comes. I believe this film will not disappoint you.”
“The studio’s plan? The studio has invested in a TV series and it will be launched soon. There is also a campus youth drama, and the two leading actors are sitting next to me."
Zhou Yutang became more and more comfortable in handling such scenes, and even took advantage of the situation to bring Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun to make a small appearance.
This is an artist in his own studio, so traffic must be arranged.
After answering the main questions, the opportunity was given to Liu Shishi, Lei Jiayin and others.
The press conference ended in half an hour. It had been arranged in advance. Several commercial vehicles were waiting outside. There are still projects after the closing banquet tonight
Zhou Yutang and the deputy director Lin Yufen and Wen Muye were in the same car and chatting along the way.
“Sister Fen, Senior Brother Wen, thanks to your help this time, the shooting went so smoothly.”
As Zhou Yutang spoke, each person received a big red envelope and stuffed it into them.
Senior Brother Wen is an honest man. He was a little overwhelmed and was stunned.
This red envelope is really big.
Look at the thickness, it’s at least 20,000.
Lin Yufen, who has rich experience in the world, was also taken aback. She quickly declined and said: "A Tang, what are you doing? Take it back quickly. I came to help this time and I also took the money. I will take the money again. Unruly.”
"Yes, Yu Tang, take it back. Teacher Tian introduced me to participate in this film project. It is also a rare opportunity for me. What will I do if I take your money again?"
Wen Muye suddenly understood. After coming back to his senses, he declined.
"Brother Wen, if you signed with Jiangdong Studio, you are one of our own, don't be polite to me."
Wen Muye had already signed with Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio when he was on the crew.
I was originally single, but I heard that if I signed a contract with a studio, I could participate in more film projects. One night during the filming, I was taken over by Zhou Yutang during the supper.
"Thank you, Yu Tang."
Wen Muye was also in high spirits and felt grateful. He felt that he was with the right person. Twenty thousand yuan was really not a small amount for a student like him.
"Sister Fen, this is my little thought to celebrate the success of the shooting. Everyone has it, and Brother Tao also accepted it."
Lin Yufen was still pushing back, and Zhou Yutang smiled and Pushing the red envelope back again, he said in an extremely sincere tone: "I know Sister Fen's ability. This cooperation is very pleasant. I heard that your contract with Tangren Film and Television will expire in the next year, right?"
“Yeah.”
Lin Yufen glanced at him and understood.
Zhou Yutang wants to dig himself out.
"Sister Fen, are you interested in coming over to help me?"
Zhou Yutang said in a sincere tone: "I have a youth-type drama in my hands. I wrote the script myself. No surprises. It will be launched in a while, but I have been unable to find a suitable director. After much deliberation, I feel that it is best to leave it to you, Sister Fen.”
Faced with Zhou Yutang’s sincere recruitment, Lin Yufen was still very moved. of.
on the one hand.
It’s because her current position in Tangren Film and Television is a bit embarrassing.
She can be regarded as the apprentice brought out by Li Guoli, and director Li Guoli is a shareholder of Tangren Film and Television and has very strong abilities.
With him around, most of Tangren Film and Television’s big projects are led by director Li Guoli.
Lin Yufen either worked as his deputy, worked on some small projects, or took on jobs herself.
Last year Liu Shishi's "Strange Women" was directed by Lin Yufen.
After working together during this period of time, Lin Yufen also has a deep understanding of Zhou Yutang's abilities.
This young man’s own studio has participated in three projects so far.
The first project is the hit drama "Want to Meet You", and the second project is "Let's Get Married", which has already begun to promote and build momentum, and is confirmed to be broadcast simultaneously on CCTV and Hunan Satellite TV during prime time.
The third project is the movie "Those Years" which was just finished.
Very outrageous.
Lin Yufen has been in the industry for so many years, but she has never seen a newcomer as powerful as Zhou Yutang.
The most outrageous thing is that all three projects are scripts written by Zhou Yutang himself.
What does this mean?
It shows that he has the ability to produce high-quality film and television cultural content, which is exactly what many film and television companies lack.
The icing on the cake is never as good as providing help when the time is right. As long as you go by yourself and wait for Zhou Yutang to take off in the future, you will be a proper hero of the dragon, and you may even become a great director in your own right in the future.
But when a person has been in the comfort zone for a long time, it is not so easy to get her to break out of the comfort zone.
After all, Lin Yufen also learned a lot from Tangren Film and Television, and she has initially established a firm foothold in this circle.
So her heart was moved, but she was asked to make an immediate decision to switch to Zhou Yutang's studio. After weighing the pros and cons, she thought again and again, but still couldn't make up her mind.
Zhou Yutang's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He saw through Lin Yufen's entanglement and said with a warm smile: "No rush, Sister Fen, you can go back and think about it slowly."
At this time, Zhou Yutang was still able to think about himself, and Lin Yufen only felt warm in her heart: "Ah Tang, thank you for being considerate of me. I have plans to do something, but I have cooperated with Tang Ren for several years, and Director Li is kind to me. You can't just leave. Give me some time to think about it. I hope you can understand."
"I know Sister Fen is a person who values friendship."
Zhou Yutang said with a smile. "If you have any difficulties then, just ask. I have a good relationship with Mr. Cai and Director Li. Anyway, the door of Jiangdong Studio will always be open to you, Sister Fen."
That's it. , everyone knows it, it is nothing more than a buffer time.
This is the reality.
If you want to resign from a company where you have worked for several years and switch to another company with better pay, you don't just decide on your head. There are a lot of relationships that need to be sorted out.
After getting off the car, he asked Sister Fen to go to the box to watch first. Zhou Yutang made a phone call downstairs: "Hey, Brother Tao, red envelope? You're welcome. Are you still telling me these things?"
< br>"Everyone is on their own from now on. Sister Fen, you have to help me talk about it."
…………………… .
During this period of time, all the emotions that had been accumulated in my heart were released, which was very refreshing.
As a director, Zhou Yutang naturally became the target of toasts.
Lei Datou took the lead in making a toast, and then the two brothers Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong followed.
Zhou Yutang is in a good mood today and welcomes everyone who comes.
Now that the movie is finished, he is very satisfied with this hard work.
The other is poaching.
No, we succeeded through Jingzhou.
Song Xiaotao of the Tang Dynasty has already nodded in agreement, and Lin Yufen should be able to win it.
As expected, the studio will be adding several more generals.
After drinking, Zhou Yutang only remembered going to the toilet and vomiting, and then being carried into the car in a daze.
The light golden morning light shone through the glass window.
Warmed the whole room.
Zhou Yutang opened his eyes and saw himself lying on the bed in the bedroom he rented. He immediately checked that the clothes were intact. There was no pain behind him and there was no women's underwear. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there were no surprises.
I indulged a little bit last night. I will drink in moderation in the future.
"Are you awake?"
Zhou Yutang, who was determined to quit drinking, suddenly heard a voice from the kitchen.
"Shi Shi, why are you here?"
Zhou Yutang stood up and stretched, but his movements froze.
I reviewed it in my mind.
Xi Gou and Brother Long seemed to be drunk last night. Was it Sister Shuang and Liu Shishi who took them home?
What happened to Liu Shishi?
"Haha!"
Liu Shishi, who was still busy over there, still wearing an apron, turned to look at Zhou Yutang with a confused expression, as if he was still a little confused, and couldn't help but chuckle. He spoke out: "You, the literary director, Erha and the others were all drunk last night. Sister Shuang and I spent a lot of effort to bring you back. She said she had to leave beforehand, and I will take care of you all night. . ”
“I performed abnormally last night.”
Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead, smelled the special fragrance coming from the kitchen, and said happily: "Okay, I can also make instant noodles."
Looking at Liu Shishi's hair tied into a ponytail and her sleeves smoothed She even wore an apron on her arm to look like a professional cook. In fact, she just cooked instant noodles and added an egg at most.
“It’s good to eat some. Don’t be too dissatisfied with this!”
Liu Shishi glared at Zhou Yutang angrily.
"Why don't you go downstairs and buy some? There is a breakfast shop run by an aunt outside the community. It tastes pretty good."
"I'm going to leave your house like this? What if an entertainment reporter is squatting with you?"
Liu Shishi started to chase people away: "Go brush your teeth and wash your face quickly, or you are not allowed to eat the noodles I cooked. ! ”
