Chapter 104 Daily gathering, the gradually rebellious Liu Tianxian and Master Han
“You can easily get beaten up if you show off your wealth like this, you know?”
Shu Chang rolled his eyes. , she had just obtained her driver's license not long ago, and she was driving a BMW mini. She said it was small and easy to park.
“Where is Sissi?”
“Wow, you can see Sissi in your eyes, but not my existence?”
Shu Chang glared and said angrily: "I am also a beautiful woman, okay?"
"Just kidding, Shu Chang is the most beautiful north of the Yangtze River."
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and smiled, talking with Shu Chang walked towards the box.
The two of them had not been chatting for long when the box door was pushed open and Liu Yifei walked in fully armed. She was slightly startled when she saw Shu Chang and Zhou Yutang chatting and laughing.
As a best friend, of course she knows that due to her family's upbringing environment, Shu Chang is always polite and distant when dealing with people, but she seems to be very happy every time she meets Zhou Yutang.< br>
"What are you talking about?"
"Goose goose goose goose, Qian Qian came just in time."
Shu Chang said cheerfully: "Zhou Yutang said he went to South Korea last time to announce , I ate kimchi for several days, and when I came back to eat Malatang, I felt it was very delicious. I will open Malatang to South Korea someday, and the business is definitely good."
"Is Malatang delicious?"
< br>"You haven't eaten it?" Zhou Yutang was shocked.
"Well, my mother didn't let me do it, saying it was unhygienic."
Liu Yifei took off her sunglasses, mask and jacket, smoothed her hair, feeling a little embarrassed.
“I’ll take you to eat Malatang for six yuan when I have time. It’s affordable and delicious.”
This girl has been standing all day today. She must be hungry. Looking at the table full of beef, Her beautiful eyes shone, and she clasped her little hands together and said, "Changchang, you are so kind. I have ordered all the dishes. I feel like I can eat a cow."
"Hey, Boss Zhou ordered it and it was flown here. Han cattle.”
Shu Chang pointed his finger at Zhou Yutang and said with a smile: "I have made so much money recently. If I eat the most expensive Korean beef before serving it, I must kill him severely."
"Such a little bit is indeed true. If it’s not enough, let’s have another plate, one for each person, otherwise the stickman next door will see it and think we can’t afford it.”
Zhou Yutang started to talk seriously and cooked the barbecue with familiarity.
This high-end Korean restaurant has great privacy, and each private room will be served by a special waiter.
It’s just that Zhou Yutang, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang had some special identities, so they didn’t let anyone in.
Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
Zhou Yutang's barbecue skills are pretty good. After all, he made money in South Korea last year and had to eat a barbecue every day.
“Isn’t this a line from The Disciples?”
Liu Yifei smiled and glanced at Zhou Yutang, and instantly got the joke.
“What disciple?”
"Liu Tianwang, that movie where he plays a drug lord."
It was rare for the three of them to meet each other, so they chatted while eating and gossiping about the industry.
Zhou Yutang has only been in the industry for two years, but he has already made many connections and experienced many things. He can be regarded as a veteran. Shu Chang and Liu Yifei are different. They are serious people who refused to choose Chinese dramas and chose the School of Foreign Languages. A college student and a part-time actor, the other one is well protected by Aunt Liu.
Listening to what Zhou Yutang said, I felt a sense of novelty and admiration in my heart. Everyone is obviously the same age, but Zhou Yutang seems to be particularly mature and reliable.
When they talked about the owner of this store being South Korean, Liu Yifei glanced at Zhou Yutang, smiled and said: "Xiao Zhou, you seem to be very popular in South Korea."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a smile: "After all, I am not from the South Korean entertainment industry. I am lucky that a TV series became popular. It is probably not possible now. The entertainment industry there is changing too fast."
"Hey, have you seen TVXQ during that event?"
Miss Shu Chang put her chin in her hands and asked with interest.
“You also like TVXQ? I didn’t meet them that time, but I met the members of Girls’ Generation at an event.”
Zhou Yutang grilled beef with skillful movements. He smiled and said, "If we had known each other earlier, I could ask that old man Li Xiuman to get some autographs for you."
"Girls' Generation seems to be a group just released by SM last year."
Shu Chang understood quite well and said disapprovingly: "Come on, Zhou Yutang, just brag. Lee Soo Man is the big boss in the Korean entertainment industry. , how can I talk to you and give you an autograph?”
Korean pop culture is sweeping Asia, it’s really powerful.
A few years ago, the ratings of "Dae Jang Geum" exploded, sweeping the country. Ms. Shu Chang usually likes watching Korean dramas.
“You can eat it, silly girl.”
Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled, without making any excuses.
“Don’t call me a silly girl.”
Shu Chang was quite speechless, and Liu Yifei was also snickering.
The silly girl Zhou Yutang is talking about is the character played by Shu Chang in "Magic Phone" which just premiered on the CCTV TV series channel.
Forget it, this TV series with a somewhat ridiculous name is doing very well in ratings, so it may be a small hit.
"Hey, Sister Shuang, we are having dinner. Li Xiuman from South Korea, what's the matter?"
Suddenly, Zhou Yutang received a call, said a few words briefly, stood up and made a gesture: "We have work matters to communicate with. , you eat first, don’t wait for me.”
“Qianqian, did I hear you correctly?”
Watching Zhou Yutang leave the box door, Shu Chang was slightly startled. After realizing it, Zhou Yutang was indeed talking about Li Xiuman just now.
Liu Yifei smiled sweetly: "Do you remember what you just said?"
"What did I say?"
"How could you talk to Zhou Yutang about being a big boss?"
"It turns out we really know each other."
Shu Chang vomited. Sticking out his tongue: "This guy didn't explain just now. Hey, Sissy, how do you think he and Li Xiuman met?"
"You can ask him yourself when Xiao Zhou comes back later."
Liu Yifei flipped the barbecue with tongs and glanced out the door.
After about 15 minutes, Zhou Yutang pushed the door open and said, "Sorry, the studio's phone number."
"Xiao Zhou, Changchang is very interested in why you and Li Xiuman know each other. Interested."
Liu Yifei handed the freshly roasted meat to Zhou Yutang, with a hint of curiosity in her dark and bright eyes.
After all, she signed a contract with Sony, learned how to sing and dance, and released an album. She is familiar with the Japanese and Korean entertainment circles.
"Just for the last event, I had a meal with Lee Soo Man."
"That's it? Then why is he looking for you tonight?"
"Lee Soo Man is connecting companies in South Korea. , want to buy the copyright of "Those Years""
Zhou Yutang enjoyed the meat Liu Tianxian roasted for him, it tasted quite good.
The copyright of "Those Years" was spotted by South Korea.
Zhou Yutang collaborated with Enlight on this film, but he still owns the copyright of the film. It grossed more than 250 million at the box office across the Taiwan Straits and three places, making it an absolute hit.
It also set a box office record for youth movies.
Not only has domestic entertainment been shaken, but the Asian entertainment industry has also been shaken by the aftermath, and major film and television companies have turned their attention.
This movie was not released in South Korea. Film producers in South Korea thought that a local version of the film would be very promising, so they contacted Zhou Yutang directly through Li Xiuman.
After understanding the whole story, Shu Chang said with envy: "Boss Zhou, are you going to make a lot of money again?"
"It's not much, probably more than two million."
"Isn't that much?"
Miss Shu Chang felt a little dizzy.
I may not be able to earn this amount even if I lose my hair in a year while going to school and taking on roles at the same time. I am so busy that I lose my hair.
“It’s okay.”
Zhou Yutang felt a little reluctant.
When he debuted, "I Want to See You" became very popular in South Korea. The film and television adaptation rights of "I Want to See You" were also sold to Japan and South Korea, bringing him a total income of more than 2 million.
Last year I made money in South Korea and bought a house. This year I was able to earn a lot of money again, which happened to be enough to reimburse me for the big G I just bought.
It seems that South Korea is really a blessed place for him, and he will have the opportunity to exchange more art in the future.
"Stop talking, I'm really afraid I won't be able to help but strangle you to death."
"Sissi, is your movie about to be released soon?"
"Yeah!"
Then we talked about "The King of Kung Fu", and Liu Yifei's beautiful little face was full of smiles. Full of anticipation.
Aunt Liu and she have been working hard for this movie for almost a year, and now it is almost time to bear fruit.
After having dinner together, Shu suggested going out to sing karaoke. Liu Yifei thought about the movie promotion she would have to do next, so she was also excited to relax.
After singing for only half an hour, Aunt Liu called.
Arriving home in Shu Chang’s car.
Aunt Liu was sitting in the living room waiting. When she saw her daughter coming back, a soft smile appeared on her face. Liu Yifei said seriously with a small face: "Mom, when I have a party with my friends, please don't make phone calls in the future. It will be very embarrassing. I will tell you after the party is over."
< br>"Mom is worried about you."
Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth and said.
"I know you are doing it for my own good, but I have grown up."
Liu Yifei raised her little face and spoke firmly, and for the first time she did not back down.
"Mom will pay attention."
Aunt Liu suddenly had a very special feeling, but she couldn't put it in words, like a foot missing the stairs, or something very important The thing was moving away from her.
It wasn't until Liu Yifei went back to her room to wash up that Aunt Liu came back to her senses.
For so many years, she has been accustomed to arranging everything in her daughter's life.
Recalling Liu Yifei's firm tone in her mind, Aunt Liu was still a little unbelievable.
My daughter, who has always been harmonious and listens to her own arrangements, turns out to have doubts about herself.
Sissi has really grown up and her rebellious phase has arrived.
In the rich night, this mature and beautiful woman felt a little hesitant for no reason and sighed quietly.
…………………………
The meeting place between Zhou Yutang and Li Xiuman was arranged at a five-star hotel in Beijing.
Sister Shuang is still acting as a translator. This old fox is accompanied by a few men and women in suits and leather shoes, which is a bit like an elite team.
“Hello, Mr. Zhou.”
The representative from South Korea came from SHOWBOX. He was about 30 years old, wearing a neat suit, and was very polite. He came up and expressed his goodwill in broken Chinese, and then asked the assistant translator to convey the meaning: "We hope to acquire "Those Years" The film and television adaptation rights of this film in South Korea.”
“The price?”
Zhou Yutang listened to Sister Shuang’s whisper and asked directly.
"The film and television adaptation copyright of "Those Years" in South Korea is 1.5 million. I hope that Mr. Zhou will have film and television works in the future, and SHOWBOX will have the priority to match the distribution bid in South Korea."
"Too Cheaper.”
Zhou Yutang shook his head: "Do you know how much box office this script took in China? The total box office in the three places across the Taiwan Strait is close to 260 million, which is more than 40 billion won when converted into Korean won!"
"You didn't show it. As for the sincerity, CJ has also contacted my studio and shown some interest.”
South Korea is a country of chaebols.
This SHOWBOX is a film distribution company under the Orion Group, and CJ is also a film investment and distribution company controlled by the CJ chaebol.
Now people come to ask for help. Zhou Yutang is the master, so naturally it is up to him.
really.
When the representative of SHOWBOX heard the word "Xijie", his expression immediately changed, and he spoke with some urgency: "If Mr. Zhou has any ideas, you can put them forward. We are here this time and we are very sincere and can put them forward." The highest level of treatment for screenwriters in South Korea.”
After nearly an hour of negotiation, we finally reached an agreement.
The price of the script is 2.2 million, which is a small amount.
What is important is the distribution of Zhou Yutang's film and television works in South Korea, which means that his next movie can be released simultaneously in South Korea and reap the South Korean box office.
This is not as simple as millions.
"Mr. Zhou, happy cooperation!"
The representative of SHOWBOX is also relatively satisfied. The price is at the critical point of his psychological price.
Although it is a bit expensive, if this project works well, you can definitely make money. It has also achieved the real goal of this trip, getting the distribution rights for the works of Zhou Yutang, the most famous screenwriter in China.
Excellent works can increase SHOWBOX’s influence in South Korea, which is more important.
After talking to the people at SHOWBOX, Zhou Yutang talked with Li Xiuman for a while, and then the two reached an agreement in private.
On the way back, Sister Shuang was surprised: "Yu Tang, you want to set up a studio in South Korea?"
"Sister Shuang, we have reached an agreement with Li Xiuman and the people at SHOWBOX. You go over there in the past few days and help me find a reliable candidate. He is the overseas branch of Jiangdong Studio and has a strategic partnership with Li Xiuman's private production company."
"I have a very suitable candidate. "But your domestic career is developing very well, why are you thinking about expanding abroad?"
"I want to make progress so much. South Korea is just the beginning, and I am going to look for opportunities to build a similar model in the United States." , mainly because I have a lot of ideas, but I can’t touch some domestic themes, so I can just play around with them abroad. Anyway, it will make money. It will also be convenient for me to send the production team to South Korea for inspection in the future.”
"Inspecting girl groups?"
"Sister Shuang, you are insulting my personality. Haven't you noticed that the scene lighting and costume colors of South Korean TV dramas in recent years are very good?"
“I feel like this.”
“I have a big project next, and I need to make the scene lighting and costume colors perfect. I have to let Sister Fen and Brother Tao know in advance. Go over to South Korea and check it out.”
“Leave it to me.”
Li Shuang resolutely implemented Zhou Yutang's idea.
Photos of South Korea's SHOWBOX in the hotel were taken again, making the headlines of several entertainment portals and causing a small sensation.
Zhou Yutang is used to being punished on the headlines from time to time.
On the other side, there are also a bunch of people targeting the show "Insidious".
The circle is so big, and Zhou Yutang’s current popularity is a bit out of the ordinary. The attention of this drama is not inferior to the works of some major directors.
Even Huang Xiaoming called and asked: "Ah Tang, when are you planning to film the movie "Latent"?" Yes, this drama is directed by Mr. Jiang Wei.”
“Teacher Jiang Wei from the Film School?”
Huang Xiaoming’s heart moved slightly.
Teacher Jiang Wei can be said to be one of the hidden talents in the film school.
Even he liked the script, which further proves that the script written by Zhou Yutang is excellent.
At this time, Zhou Yutang also felt the taste, and asked with a chuckle: "Brother Xiao Ming, are you interested in this drama?"
"Ah Tang, to tell you the truth. , I was immediately attracted to this book when I first saw it, and then I read it several times.”
Huang Xiaoming’s tone was quite complicated: “Oh, but my schedule is very full this year. , in the first half of the year, there is a movie in Hong Kong, and two TV series to guest star, and then I have to be busy with the Olympics."
It can be seen that Brother Xiao Ming really likes it, and it is rare to see him take the initiative. Open your mouth.
Zhou Yutang smiled teasingly: "Since you like it, don't miss it. I've chosen Teacher Zhang Songwen as the male lead. You can come and play a guest role."
"Ah Tang, what do you think of me? How about playing Li Ya? I think this role is also very challenging.”
“Okay.”
Before Huang Xiaoming was happy for a few seconds, Zhou Yutang directly hit him from the clouds. At the bottom of the valley: "This character, Teacher Zu Feng, personally asked Teacher Yao to find me. He is also very interested. You go and talk to him."
"."
Huang Xiaoming was speechless for a while.
Damn, how can we talk about this?
This was his classmate in the film school. Back then, I even called him "Old Monitor".
After graduation, he stayed in school to teach acting and dialogue. Did he get mixed up, and now he is trying to steal the opportunity from his old classmates?
How could Huang Xiaoming do such a thing? He sighed helplessly: "Brother Feng is very good at acting. He can live up to this role."
Feeling that Brother Xiao Ming was really depressed, Zhou Yutang did not joke with others and said directly: "Brother Xiao Ming, if you really want to act, you can come over and play a guest role to enjoy yourself."
"What should I say?"
Huang Xiaoming perked up and became interested.
“Liao Sanmin, an underground member of our party.”
Zhou Yutang said slowly: “Although this supporting role does not have many roles, he does things neatly and is quite eye-catching, especially in the final role. His role is also crucial, and he will die together with the villain Li Ya.”
"You can have this."
Huang Xiaoming became excited when he heard this: "Can you add some scenes for me, let me beat the old squad leader a few times? Then we can hold him and finish the movie together."
Hum, did this guy have his girlfriend robbed by Teacher Zu Feng when he was in college
How much hatred and hatred is there?
Zhou Yutang wiped his forehead and chatted for a while before settling down.
The left and right characters are supporting characters with few roles. Huang Xiaoming also makes a guest appearance in two crew members, and the three crew members also make guest appearances.
It doesn’t matter.
For Zhou Yutang, this brother doesn’t charge for his friendly guest appearances, and he can still push for the publication of drafts when the time comes, so why not?
The studio is developing steadily and the crew preparations are going smoothly.
However, there was one thing that he did not expect.
That day, Zhou Yutang had just finished a preliminary meeting with Li Xiaoping from Guangguang and Li Hao, the manager of National Film and Television, and was driving to pick up Zeng Li when he received an unexpected call.
This is his private number, usually only known by people with close connections.
Zhou Yutang asked politely: "Hello? Who is it?"
"Hello, I am Han Sanping."
