Chapter 116 Shocking Handiwork, Xiangjiang Beauty
“You are so lucky.”
Jay Chou’s eyes widened in shock. He suspected that Zhou Yutang had done something.
“I won.”
Zhou Yutang simply tossed the coin to Jay Chou, which was just an ordinary dollar.
"Hey, what would you do if it was just the national emblem?"
"Then I am willing to admit defeat."
Zhou Yutang said calmly: "But I will not give up and will let the negotiation team Keep adding money until the amount your agency can't refuse!"
He and Tian Ming had already discussed in private that the first-choice mentors in the first season would have a clear price limit.
Teacher Liu Huan is 12 million, the princess is also 12 million, Eason Chan is 10 million, and Jay Chou is capped at 15 million.
If you still don't agree with the price above this price, then there is no need to waste time and just change the candidate.
Although The Voice program needs to spend money to become bigger and stronger, cost control must also be taken into consideration.
Tian Ming hired business negotiation experts to negotiate the price to communicate with these brokerage teams.
The effect is remarkable.
Teacher Liu Huan’s price was talked about 10 million, and Chen Yixun’s price was talked about 8 million, which saves millions here.
"You're a dick, I promise you."
Jay Chou put the coin in his pocket: "This coin belongs to me. By the way, I heard that you have another movie to be released next year?"
Although he put his hands in his pockets and pretended to be cool as if nothing had happened, Zhou Yutang could still vaguely feel that classmate Zhou wanted to fight with him again.
“The casting hasn’t been decided yet, it will probably be released next year.”
“That’s quite a coincidence. I also have a movie that will start filming soon. Maybe I’ll have a chance to meet him then. If your box office is lower than mine, come to my concert for free and be a guest.”
Jay Chou raised his eyebrows.
"What's the name of your movie?"
"It seems to be called "Chilling". Let me tell you, the cast is super luxurious. Are you afraid of losing?"
"To be honest, I don't know how to write the word fear."
"Gan! Do you want to be such a dick?"
…………………………
“Yu Tang, are you kidding me?”
When Tian Ming heard the news, he was shocked: “My side The negotiation team has been trying to get results with the company over there for half a month, but you are telling me that you can get Jay Chou for just one dollar?” "
Zhou Yutang was not surprised by Tian Ming's shock, because Sister Shuang was also a little shocked on the way back from the party.
Back then, Chen Daozai won 25 million with 20 yuan. What happened to me, Zhou Yutang, who won Zhou Tianwang in a one-dollar bet?
The afterglow of the Olympic Games is gradually fading.
A variety show called The Voice took advantage of the situation and attracted the attention of countless media reporters.
This program boasts an investment of hundreds of millions, which stirred up waves and caused an uproar in the industry.
Soon.
The entire circle knew that Jiangdong Studio and Modu Mingjie Company were preparing an inspirational commentary music variety show.
Mingjie Company is a new company established by Tian Minggang.
This brother and Zhu Jie have a close relationship and are getting engaged. You can tell how sweet they are from the name of this company.
Tian Ming’s Ming, Zhu Jie’s Jie.
Zhou Yutang witnessed it with his own eyes and was filled with emotion. He gave Brother Ming a nickname:
The most affectionate person in the magic city.
Most people in the industry are not familiar with the newly established Mingjie Company, but they know Jiangdong Studio.
This variety show with a rumored investment of hundreds of millions is actually a project of Zhou Yutang Studio?
“Did Zhou Yutang’s career develop so smoothly that he got a little carried away?”
“He is from the film and television industry, and he comes to do music programs across industries? It’s like a joke, and he’ll spend 100 million yuan. Big project, really radical! ”
"If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy. It is foreseeable that Zhou Yutang will fall like a meteor."
"A good voice will eventually become the cemetery where this romantic talent is buried."
Zhou Yutang, who once again made headlines on the entertainment front page, faced criticism from many experts this time.
The main thing is to accuse him of messing up the market.
The most successful variety shows previously produced in China were Super Girl and Fast Man.
At that time, the production cost of each season of Mango Channel's "Super Girl" was only about 20 million yuan.
Zhou Yutang doubled down as soon as he started and spent so much money. How will other people produce programs in the future?
At that time, the two programs of Mango TV caused an unprecedented response, but the founder, Mr. Ouyang Yang, publicly stated his position this time:
Mango TV participated in the first round of bidding for the Good Voice program, but After the senior management held a meeting and discussed it, they decided not to participate in the subsequent bidding and looked forward to the effect of the new variety show launched by Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Studio.
The main reason is that it is too expensive.
The production cost is 100 million.
The buyout fee is basically impossible to be lower than this price.
Zhou Yutang’s golden name is that he is famous in the TV drama circle, but he is not well-known in the variety show circle.
Mango Channel’s ratings base is very stable, and there is no need to take risks, so naturally it will not spend so much money on a new program.
But because Zhou Yutang took care of Zhou Jielun, good news soon came from Tian Ming.
Magic City TV gave in.
Jay Lun’s fan base is so strong.
Having this name means a certain ratings guarantee.
After several rounds of negotiations, with Zhou Yutang’s advice, a gambling agreement was signed with Magic City TV.
The first season of The Voice was bought out on floating price terms, plus part of the program’s dividends, while retaining a certain say in Zhou Yutang’s production side.
Both parties are quite satisfied with the result.
For Magic City Satellite TV, if the ratings of the program are not as good as expected, then Magic City Satellite TV can also stop the loss in time, and the loss will not be too much. If the program becomes popular, then everyone will win, right? The betting contract stipulates that Magic City TV has the priority to renew the second season program.
For the producers of Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming, making a variety show requires a complete production team, including renting a recording hall and a host. If they do not cooperate with the TV station, then the program will not have a broadcast channel at all.
Tian Ming is still very respectable in Shanghai. The starting buyout price is 80 million, plus 10% of the program dividend, which basically guarantees that he will not lose money.
As long as the ratings increase, the buyout price will increase, and the program dividends will also increase accordingly.
then.
Promotional drafts for The Voice program are being released one after another.
The names of several mentors were announced one after another.
First of all, teacher Liu Huan sang at the Olympic Games. Needless to say, he is the big brother in the domestic entertainment music industry and has countless fans.
The second singer from Xiangjiang, Chen Yixun, also has top-notch singing skills and is extremely popular.
The name of the third mentor immediately shocked countless eyeballs.
Chinese music king Jay Chou announced that he would join The Voice at a friendly price of 10 million. Everyone found that this new variety show seemed to be taking off.
At this time, Zhou Yutang Studio released a preview of the fourth mentor:
Stay tuned, the Chinese singing queen is about to join The Voice.
The onlookers immediately burst into laughter:
"Hold the grass! Isn't Zhou Yutang playing too much?"
"Who is it? Is it the princess?"
"It's impossible, the princess has retired at home to take care of her husband and children. "
"I think it's La Ying. According to the statement given by the Good Voice program, La Ying's qualifications are high enough."
"She is not qualified, and Zhou Yutang went out of her way to do it. It shows that she is highly respected, but I think she is not virtuous enough.”
"Anonymous insiders say that when Prince Long and some of his like-minded friends from the province were in the capital, they often went to the nightclub owned by La Ying's brother. You can play whatever you want. I can only reveal so much. Got it, I understand everything.”
The Voice program has already become popular before auditions have even started.
It is quite the grand occasion of "Supergirl" at that time.
Now the whole Internet is discussing the candidate for the mentor of The Voice.
Compare in terms of singing skills, qualifications, and record sales.
Several fans turned into a pot of porridge, not to mention how lively it was.
Mainly this is the first time that someone has brought together several people who are at the top of the music industry in one show, which has aroused the expectations of countless viewers.
The fourth mentor is pending, but enthusiastic netizens have found many suitable candidates for Zhou Yutang:
Wang Fei, La Ying, Sun Yanzi, Zheng Xiuwen
Zhou Yutang has seen The most outrageous choice is that some netizens strongly recommended Brother Chun to be the fourth mentor.
The Internet was very noisy, and soon someone found Li Shuang's side:
"Yu Tang, La Ying's sister came to the door."
"Oh, Na Xin? What did she say? ?”
Zhou Yutang’s eyebrows are wide.
Laying's sister is Laying's manager, and she is also a powerful person. Laying is able to sit in the position of the queen of the music industry today, which is largely due to her sister.
Li Shuang shrugged his shoulders: "I learned over there that this good voice program was recruiting judges and teachers, and offered Laying to be the program mentor. The appearance fee for the first season was 12 million, plus a 5% bonus from the program. In addition, she was selected to lead the program." The singer's manager wanted to sign her. "
"Is there something wrong with her mind?"
Zhou Yutang sneered and responded with three words: "Let her go."
According to the popularity of this show, if it becomes a top variety show in the future, the income from the show’s dividends will be at least 9 figures.
She has such a big face that she wants the show to share the profits when she opens her mouth. This is harming Zhou Yutang's interests.
Li Shuang blinked and made a joke: "She is very popular in the Beijing circle. She has deep qualifications and strong connections. Aren't you afraid?"
"What am I afraid of?"
Zhou Yutang said calmly .
He knows that the entertainment industry is very chaotic, and the music industry is even more chaotic. Many so-called kings and queens don’t want to see new people emerge even if they don’t release an album for several years.
Once a talented newcomer emerges, he will be drawn into his circle.
If the newcomer refuses to join, then wait for the suppression from these kings and queens.
A complete process of treating guests, being a dog, and beheading.
Zhou Yutang is not vain at all.
So what if you are the queen of music?
I work in the film and television industry, and I released a few songs, which were purely for fun. Writing songs for friends is just a favor.
We are not on the same track, how can you still use the name of the queen of the music industry to suppress me?
Does not exist.
After Li Shuang rejected La Ying directly, Zhou Yutang called Tian Ming and informed him to expedite the investigation of the princess.
The initial offer was 6 million, but the princess rejected it, and then the offer was 8 million. After hesitating for a few days, the princess still refused
Then add money!
10 million starts!
…………………………
September.
Zhou Xun’s name is resounding throughout the Chinese film industry.
The first was "Li Mi's Conjecture", which allowed the audience to see Mr. Zhou's amazing acting talent.
The next one is "Painted Skin".
The box office of this movie is really good. It exceeded 100 million yuan in 6 days after its release, and passed the 200 million yuan mark in 19 days!
This is the sixth domestic blockbuster to exceed 200 million yuan in box office since mainland China began to collect box office statistics. It is also the highest-grossing film ever released during the National Day holiday.
Mr. Zhou’s stunning performance has made her one of the most popular actresses at the box office.
Director Chen Jiashang also became famous with this film.
Also released on the National Day schedule is "Hold the Call" directed by Hong Kong director Chen Musheng.
Zhou Yutang has gone to the cinema to watch both of his films. "Painted Skin" is indeed very well shot, but "Hold the Call" is actually a rare good film.
Director Chen, Principal Gu, and Liu Ye all tried their best. The plot of the movie is also good, but the heroine's big s is really stretched.
This sister made her debut in an idol drama. I don’t know why she always has good resources, but her appearance and acting skills are a bit average.
With her here, there will be no surprises at the box office.
"Hold the Call" posed no threat at all in front of a behemoth like "Painted Skin". It was beaten so hard that it couldn't hold its head up, and the final box office was less than 50 million.
The weekly news dominated the entertainment headlines throughout September.
However, in late September, Mr. Zhou finally no longer felt lonely and invincible, because Zhou Yutang Studio and Mingjie Company issued an announcement.
“The fourth mentor of The Voice has been confirmed, and the queen of the Chinese music scene has joined us!”
Many fans of the princess were confused and shocked.
Is this impossible?
The Queen of Heaven said that she would retire from the world, and she would take care of her husband and raise her children.
Why did my fairy sister also descend to earth?
Zhou Yutang learned from the information disclosed by Tian Ming that the money would be increased to 10 million to directly win the princess.
Money opens the way, even fairies have to come down to earth.
Mainly thanks to Li Yapeng, an investment genius.
This guy has lost a lot of money in various investments in recent years. The diva has no choice but to come back to make money to support his family
With four mentors in place, The Voice officially sets sail and begins auditions stage.
Hui Province, Medical University, male dormitory.
A handsome boy wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses was listening to the song and humming along with the melody.
He clicked the mouse lightly and did not miss every good voice message on the entertainment portal webpage.
A few roommates came in from outside and opened the door. The handsome boy quickly switched web pages and browsed news about Zhou Yutang's new film "The Lonely Agent" as if nothing had happened.
The roommates have just come back from eating in the cafeteria, and they are still talking about it:
"Hold the grass! Zhou Yutang is so awesome, he even invited Jay Chou."
"I heard that these two people met and had a fight, and Jay Chou was convinced, so he agreed to be a mentor on The Voice."
"I don't know Zhou Yutang or Jay Chou, I want to choose the princess. "
"Damn, Brother Jie, the princess is already married, do you still like her?"
"You don't understand, it's better to be married"
Roommate. They were laughing and playing, and Brother Jie handed Xu Song the braised chicken nugget rice bowl he had packed from the canteen, put his chair on his and said with a smile:
"Brother Song, you are so bad at singing, why not sign up to participate in The Voice."
"Ajie, are you talking about me?"
The handsome young man was slightly stunned. .
"Yes, you are so strong, you can definitely get ahead."
The young Ajie handed over a promotional paper: "Look, The Voice has been promoted to the school. The official website is There is a registration channel nearby, so you can directly participate in the audition.”
"Can I do it?"
"Why not? You have already released songs online."
"I was joking, it's different."
Xu Song blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
“They are all singing, what’s the difference?”
Ajie advised: "You have the ability. It would be a pity not to participate in The Voice to become famous, but to stay in this dormitory and work on music."
Several roommates also followed suit: "Yes. Ah, Brother Song, there is no need to say more about your strength. Just wait for an opportunity."
"Brother Song, give me Zhou Yutang's autograph when the time comes."
"I want it. The instant noodle guy.”
“Come on, Brother Song, I’ll give you your name.”
Several roommates encouraged Xu Song to enter the registration channel: "Respect the music, never forget the original intention, a good voice in the world, and the best stage is waiting for you."
……………………
"Do you have a music dream? I have a stage."
In a cramped rental house in Beijing, Jin Zhiwen looked at the slogan on the official website of The Voice in silence.
My girlfriend who was busy cooking suddenly called out: "Awen, the meal is ready, clear the table and get ready to eat."
"Hey, okay."
Jin Zhiwen stood up.
The rented room is very small and has only one table.
Jin Zhiwen packed up the clutter piled on top, and his girlfriend had already served the food quickly.
"Lan Lan, let me tell you something."
Jin Zhiwen, who was absentmindedly picking at the rice, spoke.
“What’s the matter?”
“I want to try that good voice show that Yu Tang does.”
Jin Zhiwen looked at his girlfriend and put down the bowl Chopsticks, lowered his head and said with shame: "I haven't received any work in recent months, I want to give it a try."
He made a decision in his heart.
If she is eliminated, then she will go back to the bar and work hard to make money and reduce her pressure.
This is the case for bottom singers.
Maybe only one or two live a year.
Maybe I can’t get any work all year round, and the album I spent money on won’t make any waves.
Jin Zhiwen had no income during this period, so he relied on his girlfriend to work alone to support him.
From a man's perspective, Jin Zhiwen felt that he was very sorry for her.
“My colleague was still chatting about Good Voice today, and I just wanted to tell you that it’s such a great opportunity, hurry up and sign up!”
Jin Lan stood up, picked up two cans of beer, and said with a smile: "Remember? Zhou Yutang said that if you can stand out, there will be no problem."
"Don't worry, do it, I support you, we must have a drink tonight."
"Okay, drink. One!”
Jin Zhiwen suddenly hugged Jinlan, his voice trembling and his eyes moist.
What more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?
I swear, I must let you see me standing on that big stage!
At this moment.
Countless boys or girls, uncles or aunts who have dreams of music have set sail for their music dreams.
This is a carnival for musicians at the bottom of the dynasty.
At this time, Zhou Yutang was already sitting on the plane heading to Xiangjiang, flipping through the information on Yinghuang Group and some Xiangjiang artists that had been prepared in advance.
Prepare yourself for casting for this movie.
Yinghuang is a large group company. It initially engaged in watch retail business. Later, Hong Kong's economy prospered. Under the leadership of Yang Shoucheng, Yinghuang rose to the occasion and continued to expand. Now it has become a business A diversified comprehensive group enterprise.
Its business scope includes finance, real estate, watches and jewellery, entertainment films, hotels, media and furniture and interior decoration. A total of 6 companies under it are listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Entertainment, film and media are only one of Yinghuang's businesses. This year, something happened to Mr. Chen, dragging down the two leading female stars of Yinghuang, and making Yinghuang Group lose face.
Zhou Yutang put away the information and probably knew it well.
Hong Kong is actually not a big place, and there are only a few excellent directors and actors coming and going, so there is a bit of a lack of talent.
Originally, Mr. Chen was expected to become the next generation leader in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Who would have thought that something happened at the beginning of the year and he would immediately quit the industry? A few days ago, he was gossiping with Liu Shishi. Hearing that everyone came to the scene I went abroad, otherwise Zhou Yutang really wanted to get to know and communicate with Teacher Chen this time.
The plane landed.
Seeing the mature and beautiful figure who came to pick her up at the airport, Zhou Yutang's lips showed a perfect smile.
Novels should not be based on reality, they should be more idealistic.
By the way, I wish Tianxian a happy birthday~~~
