Chapter 117 The Raptor Crosses the River, The True Character of a Man
“Sister Mani, why are you here?”
Zhou Yutang’s face showed just the right amount of surprise.
With his identity, it is of course impossible for Yinghuang Group’s boss Yang to come to the airport to greet him in person, but the fact that Yinghuang can send a general like Huo Wenxi is enough to show that it attaches great importance to this cooperation.
This sister is the number one agent of Yinghuang Group. She has Hong Kong stars such as Xie Tingfeng, Zhang Jiahui, Yung Piaoer, Twins, Lin Feng, Guan Zhibin, Gu Juji, Chen Weiting and other Hong Kong stars.
In terms of status, she is probably equivalent to Wang Jinghua, a native of Xiangjiang, but in terms of looks, she should definitely beat Sister Hua.
I started out as an artist and later changed my career as a manager.
"Zhou Sheng, welcome to Xiangjiang."
Huo Wenxi wears a waist-cinching white shirt and a black professional A-line skirt, which only reaches three-thirds of the knee. You can see the well-proportioned and slender figure. Her calves were wrapped in black stockings and she was wearing a pair of shallow high heels.
Today, Huo Wenxi is at the most beautiful age of a woman. When she saw Zhou Yutang, she smiled like a flower and took the initiative to greet her and extended her hand.
"Sister Mani, just call me Ah Tang."
Zhou Yutang also showed a bright smile and gently shook hands with this sister.
The two had already met at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games and had a polite chat.
After a little chat, we quickly became familiar with each other.
There was an incident when we were leaving the airport. Dozens of female fans gathered at the exit passage, and a dozen of them were holding signs supporting Zhou Yutang. When they saw Zhou Yutang coming out, they went crazy. screamed.
"What's going on?"
The assistant Mao Xiaoyu who was following Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.
Wang Qiang instantly stopped in front of Zhou Yutang, scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.
This time Li Shuang stayed in the capital to handle the affairs of the studio. Mao Xiaoyu, a newcomer to the studio in the middle of the year, was responsible for acting as Zhou Yutang's temporary assistant, while Brother Qiang was his personal bodyguard.
Huo Wenxi explained with a smile: ""Those Years" topped the annual box office list in Hong Kong. Ah Tang is very popular in Hong Kong, especially among young girls. Seven or eight out of ten are Ah Tang. Tang’s fans.”
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yutang's profile.
The three courts and five eyes are perfect, and the bone structure is also excellent. The cheek lines are clear and cold, coupled with the gentle and deep eyes.
This man, relying solely on his looks, can kill without blood.
In terms of appearance, her subordinate Xie Tingfeng is handsome enough, but compared to Zhou Yutang, he is still quite inferior.
As for height, Zhou Yutang, who is 1.8 meters tall and has golden body proportions, is like a walking clothes rack.
This is the real peak of his debut. He became popular in Hong Kong from domestic entertainment in his early twenties.
None of the Four Heavenly Kings back then were so exaggerated.
While Huo Wenxi was amazed, he did not forget his work and led the accompanying staff to protect Zhou Yutang out of the passage.
Zhou Yutang also smiled and waved enthusiastically to the Xiangjiang fans at the airport. Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the airport, there were a group of fans and media reporters waiting outside.
As soon as Zhou Yutang walked out, the flashlight turned on wildly.
Keeping a business-like smile all the way, and with the help of the security personnel arranged in advance, I finally got on Yinghuang's special car.
“.The original drama was also very popular in Hong Kong. Ting Fung watched it several times and said that he must cooperate if there is a chance.”
“There will be opportunities in the future.”< br>
While chatting along the way, Huo Wenxi had done his homework in advance and knew Zhou Yutang's debut experience very well. He even knew the plot of "Want to See You" by heart.
Zhou Yutang also understood what Sister Mani meant, and probably wanted to get a role for Xie Tingfeng, but he didn't say anything.
Xie Tingfeng's performance in last year's movie "A Better Man" was pretty good, but he was overshadowed by Wu Jing, who played the villain Tian Yangsheng. When Zhou Yutang was watching the movie, he was a little worried that he would be beaten to death by Wu Jing.< br>
In the evening, a banquet was held at a five-star hotel in Xiangjiang to cleanse Zhou Yutang. Yinghuang boss Yang Shoucheng was personally present, and some local celebrities in Xiangjiang were also invited.
The banquet scene.
Beautiful women are like clouds.
Zhou Yutang, however, had no intention of admiring it.
Huang Baiming, Zeng Zhiwei and others, who are the bosses of the company themselves, are all local snakes in Xiangjiang, and they all looked at him eagerly.
Everyone knew that Zhou Yutang came here with a big movie project, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.
At this time.
Boss Yang stood up.
He held Zhou Yutang's shoulders and spoke very domineeringly: "Atang, Mr. Han asked me to take care of you. If you encounter any trouble in Xiangjiang, just call mani directly and I will help you sort it out."< br>
This sentence is meant for those people in Xiangjiang who have ulterior motives.
Zhou Yutang is the person protected by Yang Shoucheng of Yinghuang Group.
Don’t try to cause trouble!
The effect was also very obvious. The look like a hungry wolf staring at a fat sheep just disappeared instantly, and everyone just pretended that nothing happened.
Zhou Yutang took the initiative to toast Boss Yang with a glass of wine: "Thank you, Boss Yang, it's a pleasure to work with you."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate."
Yang Shoucheng also smiled and patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder, and asked proactively: "Atang, Mr. Han is very optimistic about you and said that you are a rare talent in the mainland. This film, What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to hire a director from Xiangjiang.”
Zhou Yutang made plans before he came.
This film has a set tone and is a co-production, so the review standards can be relaxed. It is actually a drama with a male lead.
The highlight of the entire film lies solely in him, and the director is equivalent to a tool man.
Boss Yang nodded slightly: "As for directors, Wu Yusen, Du Qifeng, Ye Weixin, Chen Musheng, etc. are all very capable. Which one do you think is more suitable?"
Zhou Yutang first asked Wu Yusen was kicked off the reserve list.
Wu Baige's movie "A Better Tomorrow" established his status in the world. After that, he made great achievements in Hollywood. The audience had high expectations for him. As a result, he returned to the mainland in recent years and made movies like Red Cliff. Big bad movie.
Secondly, Du Qifeng is not within the scope of Zhou Yutang's consideration. The trilogy "Gunfire", "Exile" and "Revenge" were all done well, and the two trilogy "Underworld" and "Dark War" are also classics.
However, this person is capable and has a big temper. Even Liu Tianwang said that he is a "natural scolding machine". All the actors who have worked with him have been scolded bloody.
In Zhou Yutang's crew, he is the absolute center, and he will definitely not accept another tyrant on the set.
After a final round of screening, Chen Musheng was initially selected.
Chen Musheng used to follow Du Qifeng, and in 1993 he directed "The New Crane and the Needle", which was the movie that Guan Damei used her inner strength to produce
In the past few years, he directed the action movie "New Police Story" ", leaving behind the film industry's classic and handsome Azu.
In addition, Sister Yuanyuan has collaborated with him, that is, "Baby Project", a collaboration between Jackie Chan and Principal Gu. Before Zhou Yutang came to Xiangjiang, he had in-depth exchanges with Gao Yuanyuan.
The two of them talked about director Chen Musheng, Sister Yuanyuan has a very good opinion of him. Last year's "A Better Man" invested by Yinghuang was also a very good action commercial movie.
The new film Zhou Yutang is going to film is also an action drama commercial film.
Director Chen Musheng is very good at highlighting the power of characters during confrontation through screen editing and camera switching. The action scenes shot are very pure and aesthetic.
Especially in fashion action movies, he is very good at car chases, pursuits, shootouts, and confrontations.
"No problem."
Yang Shoucheng waved: "mani, please contact me and see if A Sheng has any schedules recently."
"OK!"
Huo Wenxi was very efficient. He went out with the phone and came back within 10 minutes.
"Boss, Director Chen has just finished filming "Hold the Call" and is currently on vacation in Thailand with his family."
"Let him fly back on the nearest flight and make an appointment to talk to Ah Tang."
Boss Yang waved his hand indifferently.
Then we chatted for a while about things related to The Voice. This variety show has recently become a sensation in domestic entertainment. Even Xiangjiang has received news, and Boss Yang is very interested.
It’s just that you have many things to do, so you didn’t talk much. Yinghuang Company had important matters to deal with, so Boss Yang got up and left the table.
In fact, what he said at the beginning of the banquet means that the purpose of the banquet has been achieved. Basically no one dares to provoke Zhou Yutang in Xiangjiang.
A big boss like Yang Shoucheng naturally doesn't have to worry about everything. The rest of the film "The Lonely Agent" is entirely left to Huo Wenxi.
"Yu Tang, is there a role suitable for Ting Feng in this play?"
As soon as Boss Yang left, the atmosphere of the reception became much more relaxed, Huo Wenxi asked straight to the point.
Zhou Yutang's response this time was also very direct: "Sister Mani, this is my drama with the male lead, and the other supporting actors don't have many roles. If Brother Ting Feng is willing to play the villain, then I have no problem."
Having said this, Huo Wenxi knew clearly that there was no chance this time.
She knew that the male protagonist was Zhou Yutang, but Xie Tingfeng was a young man who was highly praised by Yinghuang, so of course it was impossible for him to play a supporting role as a villain and carry Zhou Yutang's sedan chair.
"Then there will be opportunities to cooperate again in the future."
However, Huo Wenxi looked calm as usual, and did not show the slightest trace of disappointment. Instead, he smiled enthusiastically and said: "A Tang, there is someone here in Xiangjiang. If you have any trouble, please call me. Have a good night.”
“Thank you, Sister Mani.”
Zhou Yutang nodded. With a local snake like Huo Wenxi here, things can really be done much more easily.
Seeing that instant noodle head Chen Yixun was also present, Zhou Yutang naturally went over and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother doctor, long time no see."
Zhou Yutang and instant noodle head were at Teacher Wu Bai We met at the concert. We drank a lot of wine together at the celebration banquet after the concert that night, and we all became acquaintances.
Sure enough, instant noodle head Chen Yixun also had a look of surprise when he saw Zhou Yutang. He stood up and shook hands with him and hugged him: "Ah Tang, I didn't expect to see you in Xiangjiang."
"Also Ah, let me correct you, my name is Eason, not a doctor.”
"Haha, that's about the same."
"."
The instant noodle head also felt very strange in his heart.
He received an invitation to be a mentor on the show The Voice, and I heard it was Zhou Yutang who suggested it
The last time we met, Zhou Yutang was still the little brother who toasted him, and now he has transformed into him The boss is here.
But it doesn’t matter what you feel. These days, if you have money, you are the boss. If The Voice pays so much money to hire him, you would be a fool not to go.
"A Tang, how are the preparations for the show going? I watched a few clips online. There are so many great singers from the Mainland, which makes me so nervous."
"Waiting for the auditions. Let’s start as soon as it’s over. There may be a meeting later. Doctor, with your ability, just perform normally. If I were a player, I would definitely choose your team.”
“Wow, so do you. Come and join us. If I join forces with you, won’t we be invincible?”
“I’m very busy, doctor brother.”
"That's terrible. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if no one chose me?"
The two sat and chatted for a while.
Instant Noodles is now at the peak of its popularity and even participated in the Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of this year.
Hearing that he was going to prepare for his own world tour, Zhou Yutang felt a little moved and gave him an idea: "Brother doctor, when the time comes, you will say that you will have 32 concert tours this year. , the students will definitely want to hang out with you.”
“I’m sorry! You are really a talent.”
Dr. Chen was also stunned for a moment, with an expression of excitement about discovering a new world.
It’s really funny to think about the serious-minded instant noodle guy who deceived students that he was going to hold 32 concerts.
After chatting with Dr. Chen, Huang Baiming and his son also came up. Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned when he saw his appearance.
Isn’t this the long-lost brother of Sohu host Dapeng in Hong Kong?
Zhou Yutang quickly recovered and took the initiative to greet Huang Baiming and his son.
This is also a big shot in the Hong Kong film industry, and classic films such as "The Best Partner" and "Happy Ghost" were produced by him.
As early as more than ten years ago, before the mainland film industry had developed, Huang Baiming was already targeting the Spring Festival. His movie "Happy Events in the Family" grossed 49 million at the box office, and it is still in the spotlight today. Hong Kong's local box office rankings are among the top ten.
Later he opened his own film and television company and produced many hit movies. Now he is also a big boss with a fortune.
After a brief introduction and exchange of contact information, Huang Zihuan was not yet well-educated, so he couldn't help but ask when he turned around: "Daddy, why are you so polite to this kid?"
Huang Baiming educated his son with a smile: "Zihuan, you should pay more attention to the things you do. Don't you understand what Boss Yang said at night?"
"Is he the illegitimate son of Boss Yang in the Mainland, that's why you support him so much?"
"Be careful when speaking and doing things!"
Huang Baiming's face darkened, and he scolded: "This young man He is very capable, and all of his film and television dramas have been hits. This time he came here to represent China Film Group and Yinghuang to collaborate on a film, so he became Boss Yang’s guest.”
"It's not that the dragon can't cross the river."
Huang Zihuan suddenly nodded and muttered.
Huang Baiming continued: "Zihuan, you and Zhou Yutang are both screenwriters, so we should have a lot in common. He is also known as the romantic talent in the mainland. He is a young man and must love to play. Zhou Yutang is a guest in Xiangjiang. You want to Do your part as a landlord and help him make more friends."
The father and son conspired loudly.
Beside Huang Zihuan was a big-eyed beauty with exquisite makeup, who was also listening quietly.
When Huang Baiming went to communicate with friends in the business world, she took the initiative and asked: "Zihuan, what movie is Zhou Yutang going to make?"
"An action drama, maybe? .”
"It seems to be a very powerful big production. I heard from my uncle that China Film Group and Yinghuang Group have invested in it."
The big eyes of this delicate-looking beauty are shining.
"My dad thinks very highly of him."
Huang Zihuan pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with confidence: "A handsome boy from the mainland must have never seen the world. Tonight I'll take him to Lan Kwai Fong to have fun and let him know what paradise is."
"By the way, baby, are your sisters free tonight?"
After the dinner, return to the hotel.
As soon as he walked into the lobby, Zhou Yutang received a call from Huang Baiming's son.
Very polite and direct.
He started asking if he was interested in attending a nightclub party with friends, and jokingly said that there were many beautiful models in Hong Kong who admired him and wanted to have further communication with him.
It was indeed true. Xiangjiang, the girls here love art exchange so much.
Zhou Yutang was very moved, and then declined with a smile.
"Boss, Lan Kwai Fong is very famous. Are you really not going?"
The new assistant Mao Xiaoyu next to me asked curiously.
“If you want to go, I’ll ask him to arrange some male models for you.”
“I’ll forget it.”
Mao Xiaoyu shrank her head. She had just graduated from Communication University. She was no match for an experienced driver like Zhou Yutang. When she heard the words of tiger and wolf, she immediately felt a little unbearable.
Looking at the assistant, he opened the door for him very attentively.
Zhou Yutang also nodded with satisfaction.
With the development of Jiangdong Studio, it is also recruiting people one after another, and this Mao Xiaoyu is one of them.
The work ability is good, the personality is also very lovable, and he is very discerning.
Li Shuang is very optimistic about her and plans to train her to be a responsible agent.
In this circle, being an artist’s personal assistant sounds like a pretty good job, but in fact it can also be said to be a nanny. It mainly meets the various needs of the artist’s life, and some even include physical needs. .
Zhou Yutang considers himself a decent person, so of course he would not do such a thing, so he opened a room for Xiao Mao next door.
Just after taking a shower, I received another call from Huo Wenxi.
Sister Mani is more experienced in doing things, and her words are subtle and suggestive: "A Tang, have you arrived at the hotel?"
"I just finished taking a shower. What's the matter, Sister Mani?"
"That's it. I forgot to tell you that there are some beauties from Xiangjiang here who want to meet you. I asked the hotel staff to put their business cards. It’s on your desk. He is nearby now. If necessary, I will arrange it. Don’t worry, they are all reliable. There are no paparazzi nearby.”
He is indeed a professional agent.
Huang Baiming's son is still a young man, so he still needs to learn from his father for a few more years.
If Zhou Yutang nods, it means that Huo Wenxi's arrangements are in place. Needless to say, even if he doesn't like it, he will not be offended, but can feel his sincerity.
"Sister Mani, I really am not this kind of person."
Zhou Yutang still refused righteously: "Sister Mani, please help me make an appointment with Director Chen and Yuan Baye, and I will talk to them personally."< br>
How can a man who does big things let his small head control the big head?
Hung up the phone and communicated with Li Shuang about the studio affairs and itinerary.
After the first season of "Classmates" was aired, the response was good, especially the online reputation, which was rated as high as 9.1 on Douban.
Several video websites are now bidding to purchase online broadcast rights. LeTV's boss Jia has a huge appetite and wants to eat all four seasons of "Classmates" in one go.
Currently, the second and third seasons of "Classmates" have been filmed. For the fourth season, Yu Tang only wrote the outline this week and left it to the screenwriting department. It is estimated that filming will have to wait until next year.
He will go back to the capital in a few days, mainly to negotiate with several TV stations about the first-run broadcast rights of the TV series "Latent", and also to meet Tian Ming for the Good Voice program. On the same day, he attended the meeting at Magic City TV as a producer.
After chatting about the main business, we talked about tonight’s banquet experience and Xiangyan’s arrangements. Sister Shuang was also happy: "Lan Kwai Fong nightclub, why don’t you go and have fun? Sister Mani is so kind to help you arrange it, you Can you bear to live up to someone else’s good intentions? ”
“ ”
When this question mark appeared in Zhou Yutang's mind, it was not that he had a problem, but that he felt that Li Shuang had a problem. He said in disbelief: "Sister Shuang, is this the image I have in your mind?"
Tell the truth. , the daily contacts are all great beauties like Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan, and Liu Shishi. Zhou Yutang really has no interest in those vulgar fans.
"Absolutely."
Li Shuang suddenly thought of something and his voice became very strange, "Yu Tang, do you have thoughts about Sister Mani?"
< br>"Sister Shuang, you have misunderstood me too deeply."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and sighed with a sad expression.
I am just a simple boy who wants to make progress.
