Chapter 89: Great harvest of copyright, Li Yao is coming to the bowl [Please subscribe and vote monthly]
This day’s chatting with Mr. Liu is not in vain.
Zhou Yutang has not forgotten his original intention of participating in this Internet Writers Salon.
Plan A, spend money to invest in Jingjiang.
Since this road is not feasible, then implement another preliminary plan.
Buy the rights.
If Jiangdong Film and Television Studio wants to gain a foothold in the industry, it must have the ability to output excellent content.
The most direct way is to adapt high-quality novels into scripts and then make them into film and television dramas. Zhou Yutang's "Want to See You" has tasted the benefits.
If the studio wants to become bigger and stronger, it is obviously not possible to rely on Zhou Yutang alone.
Recently, I have been busy with the post-production of the movie and the promotion of "Sword and Sword III". I took time out in the evening to adapt "Latent" and worked until midnight every day. Zhou Yutang was so energetic that he felt a little exhausted.
Those online novel writers are exhausted from writing thousands of words every day. They either have headaches or have to take time off every day.
Zhou Yutang wants to adapt the short original work "Latent" into a script of hundreds of thousands of words, and these hundreds of thousands of words are the essence.
It must be carefully crafted.
Such a big project.
Within a few months, I couldn’t figure it out at all.
He can't do this all the time, after all, his main job is to be a star.
Then take the shortcut.
Buy the copyrights of online novels that are valuable and easy to adapt directly.
Before coming today, Zhou Yutang had already roughly scanned the list of Jingjiang novels.
I have a rough idea of what to expect, and I have circled a few works in advance.
First of all, Gu Man, a fellow from Jiangsu Province, is considered the leading author of Jingjiang Literature Network.
Zhou Yutang bought her trilogy "Why is the Shengxiao Silent", "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" and "A Smiling Beauty" in one go.
Among them, "Why is the Shengxiao Silent" and "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" are already quite popular, and "A Slight Smile is Alluring" Gu Mancai wrote the beginning. After reading it, Zhou Yutang felt that this type of subject matter was very novel. , pack it up and take it directly.
Mr. Liu agreed readily, but Gu Man himself made a request.
If she wants to participate in the adaptation of the work, it would be best for Zhou Yutang to star in her work, because she feels that Zhou Yutang perfectly fits the characteristics of the male protagonist in her novel.
Zhou Yutang thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
First draw a cake to satisfy her.
The copyright has been obtained, and we will start working slowly in the future.
I can’t guarantee that I will star in the role, but there is no problem in letting her participate in the adaptation.
Tonghua’s "Step by Step Jingxin" and several other works by Bai Wo Sicun, Zhou Yutang is also very optimistic about them.
The authors of Jingjiang Goddess are still very powerful. Their works are often not long in content, but their writing style is delicate and the characters are full of emotions, making them very suitable for film and television adaptations.
Today’s online novels are grassroots literature, at the bottom of the literary contempt chain. Websites mainly rely on subscriptions to make a living.
So the price of film and television copyrights is not expensive. It is no exaggeration to say that it is cabbage price.
Today I rarely meet Zhou Yutang, the God of Wealth, who spent more than 2 million yuan to buy the copyright. Not to mention that the female author under him had stars in her eyes. Even Mr. Liu couldn't stand it and smiled crookedly. .
Looking at Zhou Yutang becomes more and more pleasing to the eye.
This guy is not only handsome, but he can also explode gold coins.
Finally, Zhou Yutang felt that it was almost done, and Mr. Liu still asked, "There are still many excellent works, do you want to look at them again?"
"There is a long way to go, and there will be opportunities in the future."< br>
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched, and he shook hands with Mr. Liu and hugged him.
He was afraid that if he pulled the hair out too hard, Liu would vomit blood in the future.
However, Mr. Liu felt that he had made a fortune, so he personally sent Zhou Yutang out of the hotel door and waved goodbye.
Zhou Yutang went straight into Brother Qiang's car, unable to suppress his smile.
Li Shuang was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at Zhou Yutang's proud and proud look, and couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you so happy? Is the female author in the author salon today very good-looking? Or did she come out to pick up money?"< br>
“Sister Shuang, I am face-blind, and it’s not like you don’t know it.”
Thinking of the enthusiastic Mr. Liu, Zhou Yutang smiled brightly from the bottom of his heart: “But it’s really the same as picking up money. There is no difference.”
After learning that Zhou Yutang spent more than two million yuan to obtain the copyrights of several online novels, Li Shuang was secretly stunned: "Yu Tang, I found that you are really prodigal. None of the big companies in the industry spend so much money on copyrights. 伱I'm willing to give it up."
She believed in Zhou Yutang's vision, but it was a bit painful to spend so much money at once.
"Sister Shuang, you will know after a while."
Zhou Yutang said confidently.
The two communicated in the car about the development of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio.
Sister Shuang's status now is probably equivalent to that of the housekeeper next to Zhou Yutang.
According to Li Shuang’s idea.
If Jiangdong Studio wants to become bigger and stronger, it cannot rely on Zhou Yutang to carry it alone.
We should sign a few more potential artists, and then bring in new ones to bring them some fame, and then let the new ones work hard to receive announcements and create value.
Wait until the new people are in place, then continue to recruit new people.
This forms a virtuous cycle that continuously injects blood into the studio.
Zeng Li is a good example. She earned nearly 2 million yuan for the studio in less than a year.
Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun are also considered potential newcomers, but the studio currently lacks potential female artists.
“Works are the foundation, and artists are flowers that bloom on top of excellent works. They must be grasped with both hands and both hands must be strong.”
Chatting with Li Shuang about the future development of the studio, Zhou Yutang After answering the phone, he nodded slightly and responded a few words from time to time. After hanging up, he said: "Brother Qiang, go directly to the studio."
"Sister Fen, do you have something to do with you?"
Li Shuang asked curiously.
"Well, I'll go over and have a look."
Zhou Yutang tapped his knees rhythmically with his fingers, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "As expected, there is a newcomer He should be signed to a studio soon.”
………………
"To sign or not to sign, that is the question."
Li Yao looked at the contract in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Through this thin piece of paper, she seemed to see two paths for her future.
The first way, signature.
Then she becomes a female artist at Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio, which means she officially enters the entertainment industry.
According to this female director, she has a good chance of becoming a popular star like her predecessor Zeng Li in the future.
The second way is to refuse.
Then go back to school, live an ordinary life according to the rules, and continue along the dramatic route that you have always followed.
What will happen in the future? He could probably stand on the stage and sing an opera
Li Yao had a little difficulty in choosing, so he turned around and asked in a low voice: "Yao Yao, if it were you, how would you choose?"
"Then there is no need to choose? Although opera is a traditional culture, it has declined. How can there be a future as a star?"
My best friend Yaoyao didn't even think about it and said directly: "If it were me, , I signed it immediately.”
Some time ago, Zhou Yutang auditioned for several heroines for the studio’s new drama “Born Together.”
Yao Yao took Li Yao and submitted her resume together.
Both of them passed the primary election.
Yaoyao, a young rich woman, was very excited and took Li Yao to accompany her to the audition.
In the end, Yaoyao was not chosen, but Li Yao was chosen. The role of Li Shuci in "Welcome to School Together" was chosen.
Although Yaoyao is regretful, she is also quite happy for her good best friend.
The main reason was that she didn't think about becoming a star when she went to the audition. She just wanted to find an opportunity to join the crew and stay with Zhou Yutang, and take a group photo or something.
Today Li Yao came over to Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio to discuss the contract.
The contract given by Jiangdong Film and Television Culture is a regular seven-year contract for newcomers.
Li Yao was a little hesitant.
Entering the entertainment industry and becoming a star sounds very tempting, but at this point in Li Yao's life, almost all his time and efforts have been devoted to opera.
It’s really hard to give up once.
"Li Yan, you can think about it carefully."
The short-haired female director wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses seemed to see through her inner hesitation, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "To be honest with you, you are the person our President Zhou personally requested, and he has seen your information with his own eyes. , I think your conditions are really excellent and you have great potential.”
“If you sign with our Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio, you will have at least two dramas every year, and there is a chance that Mr. Zhou will tailor it for you. role, and then star with you."
Wow!
Little stars appeared in Yaoyao’s eyes.
The little hand tugged at the corner of Li Yao's clothes under the table.
Mr. Zhou is Zhou Yutang.
Li Yao also knows that Zhou Yutang has recently been ridiculed in post forums for his successful career. It is very popular to call him this way.
After hearing Zhou Yutang personally choose him, Li Yao had never felt such a wonderful feeling.
"Qin Bao, why are you still hesitating?"
Yao Yao poked Li Yao's arm and whispered: "I have already inquired for you. Zhou Yutang's studio is currently Zeng Li is a female artist, and if she wants to sign you, she must cultivate her vigorously. Besides, with the governor's character and being a fellow from Jiangsu Province, I will take care of you in the future. "She is indeed very sincere.
This female director named Lin Yufen has talked to me three times, including today’s meeting.
Every time I was very sincere and talked about my career plan from my own perspective.
"Mr. Zhou is back. He will talk to you personally."
I went out to answer a phone call. When Lin Yufen came back, there was one more person beside her.
Zhou Yutang has a tall and tall figure, clear and cold cheek lines, deep eyes, and a bright smile that seems to be absent at the corner of his mouth.
Wearing a windbreaker and a white shirt, with two buttons on the collar loosened, he walked with full aura.
Li Yao and Yaoyao turned around and froze.
Looking at Zhou Yutang walking in from the door, the employees working in the office shouted "boss" in unison, and their hearts beat wildly.
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly as a greeting, and communicated with Lin Yufen from time to time.
Walking into the conference room, he saw Li Yao and Yaoyao standing up, feeling very restrained. Zhou Yutang smiled: "I remember you, Li Yao and Meng Yaoyao, are all from the Magic City, right? ?”
With one sentence, the feeling of restraint and tension immediately disappeared.
Yao Yao asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhou, how do you know?"
"I have a better memory. I signed autographs for you at the book signing event last year. At that time, Li Yao and I We even took a group photo together."
Zhou Yutang smiled brightly, pointed at Li Yao, and then looked at the clock on the wall: "Let's go, it's dinner time. I'll treat you to dinner."
< br>
After taking Li Yao and Yaoyao to have a meal of Jingcheng roast duck, Zhou Yutang still didn't talk about signing the contract.
We were almost done eating, but it was Li Yao who said sheepishly: "Mr. Zhou, I'm a little confused, because I have been studying opera for more than ten years, and I suddenly want to give up. I feel..."
"I feel very confused and scared."
"Yes, that's almost the feeling."
Li Yao's face was slightly red and he lowered his head.
She felt that Zhou Yutang seemed to understand her very well.
“I do have this concern. I suggest you not to give up your studies. If you sign a contract with the studio, you will continue to go back to school after filming. If the studio needs to promote the show, you will cooperate. Propaganda."
Zhou Yutang said calmly: "Everyone who is struggling to make a choice already has the answer in his heart. You may just want to get the choice that your heart prefers. I think you know what you want in your heart. What."
This sentence aroused the aftermath of Li Yao's thoughts that were not humane to outsiders.
Like autumn leaves falling on the water, little, lingering ripples appeared in her heart.
"I decided."
Soon, Li Yao no longer hesitated and raised her head.
Zhou Yutang’s eyes seemed to be shining.
Light up her whole world.
The gears of fate turn.
Miss Li Yao neatly signed her name on the contract.
…………………………
“Sign one by one, don’t crowd, don’t crowd, keep your voice down.”
Zhou Yutang asked Brother Qiang to park his car It was far away from the event site, but as soon as I got off the car, I was immediately caught by the sharp-eyed fans.
He had no choice but to keep silent, signed his name one by one, and walked away quietly.
Today is a singing concert held by Huang Xiaoming in the capital, and Zhou Yutang was invited to be a guest.
Sanqi development is very popular among celebrities in the circle recently.
After Huang Xiaoming signed with Huayi, President Xiao Wang said that he would spend a lot of money to invite top music producers from the three places across the Taiwan Strait to record Huang Xiaoming's first album, aiming to build Huang Xiaoming into a new generation of domestic entertainment film and television The amphibious king of music.
The album "IT’SMING" has been brewing for more than half a year and contains many songs, including rap, R&B and other styles.
Huang Xiaoming also asked Zhou Yutang to write him a song "Anything is OK".
Huayi paid 1.2 million to buy it, and the conditions were similar to Jingtian's song.
The copyright of the song and subsequent income belong to Zhou Yutang, and the income from singing belongs to Huang Xiaoming.
Zhou Yutang was invited here today and wanted to use Huang Xiaoming's singing concert to promote a movie. After all, there are really many Mingjiao fans and their spending power is very strong.
He was wearing a simple windbreaker, a black shirt underneath, a pair of khaki casual trousers, and a pair of flat Converse canvas shoes. He looked youthful and handsome.
After signing a few names and rushing to the event site, Zhou Yutang couldn't help being surprised.
He originally thought that he had sufficient knowledge of Huang Xiaoming's popularity, but he unexpectedly underestimated it.
The Mingjiao fans outside the event have already crowded the entire Henderson Mall. If he and Xiao Ming hadn't called in advance and a staff member had come out to pick them up, they wouldn't have been able to get in.
"Who is that person? Why can he get in without queuing up? I don't accept it!"
"That's Brother Xiao Ming's good brother, and that handsome guy is me, Zhou Yutang!"
“There is a song in Brother Xiao Ming’s album written by him, so I specially invited him to come over as a guest today.”
"Damn, is there any justice? How can he be so handsome and so talented?!"
Amidst the bustle of people, Zhou Yutang walked into the event through a special passage.
The singing party hasn't even started yet, but the atmosphere is already getting heated.
The pits at the bottom have long been occupied by people, and even the positions next to the fence on the second and third floors of the mall are crowded. The security personnel on site probably have not experienced such a battle. , that’s called sweating profusely.
Sina Entertainment, Sohu and other entertainment websites are already in place to broadcast the entire concert live.
At 7:30 p.m., live music started and the atmosphere boiled again.
The center of the stage.
Huang Xiaoming appeared on stage wearing a tight black leather jacket, boots with ten centimeter heels, and large sunglasses.
The opening is full of dynamic music. The leader of Mingjiao is very heroic and sings and dances rap, which is quite exciting.
Countless female fans in the audience screamed.
After the opening dance, Xiao Ming took off his sunglasses and held a microphone stand covered with crystals in his hand, which illuminated the entire stage. He walked around and waved hello to the Mingjiao fans present.
He put his leather-gloved hand to his ear in a very arrogant manner, triggering a tsunami-like response from Mingjiao fans at the scene, before he smiled with satisfaction:
"Continue What I bring to you is a new song "Anything is OK" that my good friend wrote for me. I hope you like it. "
"The rain will keep falling."
"Wake up your decision."
"Said I want to give up on this relationship."
"We are destined to separate here"
Brother Xiao Ming sang very passionately, and when his affectionate singing sounded, it directly changed the atmosphere of the scene. Reached the first peak tonight:
“Anything is okay.”
“I am willing to guard you until dawn”
“Let there be my heart in every corner”
“That’s what it means to be strong”
“There is so much life and love”
“In me I only have you in this world”
“I just want to give you a unique surprise”
"But you ignored it."
The die-hard Mingjiao fans in the audience had already memorized the lyrics by heart and sang along neatly to support the Mingjiao leader on the stage.
This is called Pai Noodles.
The first brother of Domestic Entertainment is really not kidding.
Zhou Yutang stood in the background, tapping the beat and humming softly.
This song was inspired by Zhou Yutang's inspiration when he had a drink date with Huang Xiaoming. Huang Xiaoming drank too much and talked about his ex-girlfriend.
Putting aside Huang Xiaoming's singing skills, the melody of "Anything Goes" is catchy, and it is a healing love song that Zhou Yutang himself is quite satisfied with.
It’s just that the MV is a bit messy.
Huang Xiaoming probably saw Zhou Yutang directing and acting in movies, and felt a little itchy, so he thought he could do it too.
This MV is directed and acted by him.
In it, he played the role of a big star who fell in love with a kind and beautiful blind girl. Later, the two had a car accident while traveling. He learned that he had brain cancer, so he donated his corneas to the girl.
After reading it, Zhou Yutang was unable to complain.
But looking at the almost crazy and boiling scene, I have to say that Huang Xiaoming is indeed in his prime now.
After singing several songs from the album in succession, there was an intermission.
Huang Xiaoming hugged Zhou Yutang backstage: "Ah Tang, don't leave after today's event is over. There is a dinner party and I will introduce a friend to you."
"Who is it?"
Zhou Yutang was a little curious.
“Keep it secret first.”
Huang Xiaoming patted him on the shoulder and played with mystery: “Don’t worry, it will definitely be good for you.”
Huang Xiaoming never does anything It won’t be aimless.
Zhou Yutang couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart.
