Chapter 120: Adhere to the royal way and operate with gods
The main thing Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming talked about was the program The Voice.
This time, as a producer, he participated in the first formal meeting at Magic City TV Station, which was mainly about the agreement on the program framework and content.
As a result of preliminary discussions between the two parties, Cao Kefan has been selected as the host of The Voice.
This host is Zhou Yutang’s hometown in Jiangsu Province. He also won the national TV literary and art "Starlight Award" host award. He is also the host of the music talent show "Come on, Good Man". His relationship with Tian Ming very nice.
The discussion in the early stages of the meeting went smoothly.
With "Super Girl" at the forefront, the audition will follow this model, and then go deep into the campus to discover outstanding singers.
Mainly relying on the singer’s overall performance and singing skills to speak for itself.
Several instructors were also present. Among them, Mr. Liu Huan was the oldest. Of course he was the first to say anything unpleasant: "I would like to ask, does the TV station have any inside information on our music talent show?" ?”
Teacher Liu Huan is a veteran.
He is very aware of the tricks of these talent shows.
I brought it up right to the point.
Several senior executives at the Magic City TV station discussed in low voices.
Among them, some people used their brains and advocated taking back part of the funds from the contestants.
How to do it?
The wool comes from the sheep.
It means cutting leeks from the players and asking them to spend money in exchange for the opportunity for the mentor to turn around.
One player costs hundreds of thousands, but ten players will cost several million?
In this way, the TV station can immediately recover part of the cost.
Zhou Yutang clearly rejected this.
The meeting was suspended here because the producers and the TV station executives could not reach a consensus.
"A Tang."
At halftime, Tian Ming took the initiative to find Zhou Yutang: "I want to hear your opinion?"
"Brother Ming, there are two The road is in front of you. "
"The first way is to follow the TV station's path and conduct capital operations. You may earn 120 million a year. This will last for several years, and then the audience will be disappointed due to excessive capital operations. Angry and disappointed, the entire show has a bad reputation and our financial resources are cut off.”
"The second way is to respect and treat mentors and contestants as fairly as possible, build a good reputation for the program, and turn it into a national variety show. In this way, the program can continue to make profits for 10 years or even longer, and can make stable profits of more than 100 million every year, and can make We have both fame and fortune."
Zhou Yutang said slowly: "These two roads are before you, which one do you choose to take?"
"I understand what you mean."
Tian Ming also started his career in variety shows. He took a deep look at Zhou Yutang.
“Only by never forgetting your original intention can you succeed.”
Zhou Yutang patted Tian Ming on the shoulder, "The TV station is killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs, and it is harming our interests."
"I will take care of the resistance over there."
Tian Ming points nodded.
We are all smart people and it is easy to communicate.
According to Zhou Yutang's idea, Tian Ming went to negotiate with the TV station, and soon the result was reached: "I asked my old man to come forward to handle it, but for the first episode, the Magic City TV station asked you to be the guest. Special guests, create a ratings hit.”
"I'm very busy, Brother Ming. I will join the team to shoot a movie soon."
Zhou Yutang was speechless.
Tian Ming disagreed: "How long does it take to record a program? Don't forget that the contract we signed with the TV station is linked to the ratings. The higher the ratings, the more money we make. I am less It feels so uncomfortable to make even a penny."
"."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Ming, do you want me to find Liu Yifei for you?"
"Are you really having an affair with her?"
Two bright lights burst out from behind Tian Ming's glasses, and he immediately became happy: "That's great. This guy doesn't appear in variety shows very much. If the ratings come, Not so excited?"
"I'm just kidding you."
Seeing this brother's excited expression, Zhou Yutang laughed and said, "But I can let her record a VCR then."< br>
At the end of the meeting, Tian Ming served as host and invited several mentors to have a meal.
"Yu Tang, Mr. Tian, you have done a good job, I propose a toast to you."
Teacher Liu Huan, who is wide and fat, took the initiative to stand up and toast Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming.
He could see that the producer played a very important role in achieving a result that all three parties were relatively satisfied with today.
After all, several instructors are also workers and only have the right to give opinions. However, the producers have spent a lot of money with Shanghai TV and have the right to speak about the program.
“Teacher Liu Huan.”
Tian Ming was also very polite, pointing at Zhou Yutang and said: "If you want to thank, thank Yutang, he convinced me."
"Yu Tang, then I'll toast you."
Tian Hou The princess took the initiative to stand up and toast. The expression of this beautiful woman with a cold temperament was very moved: "Music is a pure art. It should be based on strength, not money."
"Only persistence Only by being fair and just can every contestant with dreams get the respect and opportunities they deserve. This is the original intention of The Voice, and it is also the original intention of me participating in The Voice program."
And so on.
Sister Wangfei, didn’t you come out to make money to support your family because your husband lost too much money in his investment business?
If he hadn’t known the inside story, Zhou Yutang would have been almost moved.
However, he still felt that he had done the right thing.
The program has not lost its reputation due to capital manipulation at the expense of others.
Slow water and long flow are the kingly ways.
The night is already deep.
Liu Shishi gently wiped Zhou Yutang's face with a wet towel.
The man smelled heavily of alcohol, so she wiped his face, took off his shoes, socks and clothes, and put on comfortable and soft pajamas.
Knowing that Zhou Yutang was coming to Shanghai for a meeting, Liu Shishi bought home clothes in his size online in advance.
Looking at Zhou Yutang's extremely handsome face, sleeping quietly in his pajamas, Liu Shishi felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Unfortunately, after the short get-together, Zhou Yutang will fly directly to Xiangjiang tomorrow afternoon.
Thinking of this, Liu Shishi threw the clothes Zhou Yutang had changed into the washing machine.
As soon as he stood up, he met a strong body. Liu Shishi was startled. He turned around and saw Zhou Yutang's clear and superior jawline.
“When did you wake up?”
“I just squinted for a while, and I’m almost recovered.”
"Why did you drink so much wine at night?" Liu Shishi said dissatisfiedly.
“The princess must be blamed.”
Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead.
I drank a lot at night.
Mainly it was the Queen of Heaven who took the lead. Even though the Queen of Heaven has a fairy-like temperament, she was very heroic at the wine table, and her drinking capacity was surprisingly good. After drinking, she even wanted to play mahjong with Zhou Yutang.
The king of bending, Jay Chou, was also very energetic, but the thunder was loud and the rain was light, and his drinking capacity was really not good.
The most terrifying thing is Teacher Liu Huan, who has a big belly and drinks like water, which is simply unfathomable.
Instant noodle head Chen Yixun was originally on Zhou Yutang's side, but found that something was wrong and jumped back.
Zhou Yutang can drink well, but since his status was improved, he rarely drinks.
Tonight, I was so happy that I fought one against four and barely knocked down a Jay Chou, turned around and killed the traitor Instant Noodles, and was defeated by the princess's skirt.
Tian Ming was easily knocked down by Liu Huan.
In the end, Zhou Yutang took out his mobile phone in a daze, dialed Liu Shishi's number, and then came to take him home.
Wake up.
Then let’s take a shower together.
Another sleepless night.
The glimmer of morning light.
Falled on the bedside.
When Zhou Yutang woke up, his eyes were slightly squinted by the warm sunshine.
Liu Shishi was holding him with her arms, her long, straight and slender legs resting on her body, and most of her soft, white body was pressed against his body.
Place a gentle kiss on Shi Shi’s forehead.
Zhou Yutang got up and got out of bed, and gently pushed Liu Shishi's arm away. Unexpectedly, she woke up. He rubbed his eyes in a daze, then stretched out his delicate white hands from the bed: "Yu Tang, you won't leave until this afternoon. Well, Sister K wants to invite you to the company and treat you to a meal at noon."
"I'm not the boss of Tang Dynasty, why do I go to your company?"
Zhou Yutang changed into something clean. Liu Shishi hugged him from behind, her soft body pressed against his back, and said charmingly: "I don't know, maybe Sister K wants to hug your thigh."
"Then go."
"mua!"
After the two of them washed up, Liu Shishi didn't usually make breakfast, so he simply ate some oatmeal and skimmed milk.
On the way, we chatted about Liu Shishi’s recent life.
Originally, Mr. Cai was deeply resentful for not poaching Yang Mi, but as a result, Liu Shishi rose through the ranks and firmly secured her position as the number one sister in the Tang Dynasty.
After Shi Shihuo became famous, because she is known to like to eat snacks, she liked to endorse several brands of snacks
Tang Ren also arranged a lot of announcements for her, and now she has There are two TV series to be filmed, and I have to find time to study at the Shanghai Theater Theater.
The life was quite fulfilling.
I called Cai Yinong in advance on the way, and she was already waiting downstairs when I arrived.
Liu Shishi was flattered by this battle, but she also knew that it was because of Zhou Yutang that her smile became sweeter.
“Ahem, cough, cough.”
Cai Yinong reminded: “Shi Shi, pay attention to the impact.” Liu Shishi suddenly came to his senses, he was in the company, and quickly let go of Zhou Yutang’s arm. arm hand.
“Yu Tang, I heard that you had a meeting with people from Shanghai TV Station yesterday?”
“Mr. Cai, you are really well-informed.”
“That one? Is there any big move in the music variety show?”
Facing the extremely enthusiastic Cai Yinong, Zhou Yutang was helpless: “It’s just about having a good voice.”
"It's really 100 million. How come you get bigger and bigger as you play?"
"I work with friends, how can I have so much money."
"Not necessarily, I heard that "Latent" It’s very popular. Several TV towers are vying for it. How much did it sell for in the first round?”
“Still talking”
Fortunately, this girl was called to a meeting by the senior management, and Zhou Yutang was able to escape. .
The first round of "Latent" is currently being watched by four satellite TV stations in Beijing, Shanghai, Shanghai, Yuqing and Chengdu, and the price is expected to be no less than 1.2 million per episode.
This is also because the directors of the film purchasing departments of several satellite TV stations gave extremely high evaluations after watching the finished film. It is possible that the four TV stations will jointly bid and broadcast it simultaneously during prime time.
However, Lu Province and Hunan Province have also expressed interest. The specific details are still being negotiated, and it is impossible to say that the price can be raised.
After going around the Tangren company, Zhou Yutang thought that when the ratings of the Good Voice program reached expectations, it would be time to start the next development plan and buy a building in the capital.
The real estate industry has suffered great turmoil this year, and many real estate developers have gone bankrupt. Liu Tianxian's godfather was in bad luck.
House prices in the capital have also plummeted. An intermediary sent out news that an office building in a good location is for sale urgently, and can be purchased for around 20 to 30 million yuan.
The general policy direction above is to accelerate the urbanization process. The urban population continues to increase, and the demand is there. Sooner or later, housing prices will rise.
Zhou Yutang sent a message to Li Shuang, asking her to pay attention to him first.
"Old Zhou, what are you doing?"
Hu Ge walked in from the outside and saw Zhou Yutang with his hands in his pockets, looking at the Tangren building: "Where is Shi Shi?"< br>
"The first sister of your company went to a meeting."
Zhou Yutang hugged Hu Ge familiarly, and asked with a smile: "How are you doing lately?"
"I just fooled around and picked up. A movie "Sword Butterfly". "
Hu Ge put his arm on Zhou Yutang's shoulder and said with a smile: "I can't compare to you, Boss Zhou, and have a good career and love."
"It's Wan Sheng. That movie?”
"Yeah."
In fact, Hu Ge had acted in a movie after the hit "Sword and Sword 1". At that time, he collaborated with Zhang Baizhi and Zhou Bi Sing in "The 601st Call", and Leslie Cheung also participated. In the end The box office was just over 6 million like the title of the film
So Hu Ge’s transformation path was extremely bumpy after that.
It wasn't until last year's "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" became a hit and Hu Ge became famous again that he got an invitation to this movie.
Wu Zun from Fahrenheit and Cai Zhuoyan from Twins have assembled the most popular new-generation idol stars from Mainland China, Benzhou and Hong Kong, plus the well-known director Ma Chucheng, the lineup can be said to be It's quite good.
After visiting Tangren Company, Cai Yinong served as host at noon and took Hu Ge, Liu Shishi and Yuan Hong to treat Zhou Yutang to a meal, mainly to build closer relationships.
Zhou Yutang’s development is really frighteningly fast.
Cai Yinong spent time in Xiangjiang in his early years and had quite a lot of connections there. He also heard that some time ago, Yinghuang boss Yang personally hosted a banquet for Zhou Yutang to cleanse himself from the dust. Zou Wenhuai from Jiahe wanted to spend a lot of money to invest in Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong. News from the studio.
Last year I could still call him Xiao Zhou.
What now?
Everyone chatted and laughed with big guys like Yang Shoucheng and Zou Wenhuai.
Seeing that Hu Ge had stirred up the atmosphere, Cai Yinong smiled and said: "Yu Tang, can you give us Yuan Hong a role in your movie?"
Yuan Hong's face He suddenly showed a look of expectation and a little embarrassed.
Zhou Yutang put down his chopsticks and said, "Sister Cai, it's not that I don't agree. This movie is a co-production in two places. Basically all the actors except me are from Xiangjiang."
"Neng Lu Just the one with a good face will do.”
"Oh, then I'll ask again, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Hearing what Cai Yinong said, Zhou Yutang nodded.
It is difficult to arrange supporting actors who have roles, but there are many sires in the police station, so a lot of actors are needed here. There is also a scene of the Dragon Kingdom's military in the final easter egg.
Zhou Yutang arranged a supporting role for Li Yao from his studio as a policewoman, and it doesn't matter if he also arranges Yuan Hong.
We all worked together in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". Cai Yinong was very happy to make money, so I can give him some face.
"Yu Tang, thank you."
Yuan Hong stood up excitedly, filled his hand with wine, and drank it himself.
Except for the ancient puppets, the Tang Dynasty has few film and television resources. He is not as popular as Hu Ge and Liu Shishi. His situation is quite embarrassing. It is a rare opportunity to appear in Zhou Yutang's big production.
“Come on, come on, eat the food, eat the food.”
The more Cai Yinong looked at Zhou Yutang, the more he liked it. He felt that his image in her eyes had become extra tall, and he was muttering in his heart. .
Until next year.
Isn’t this kid even looking up to himself?
…………………………
After a small gathering with Shi Shi, Zhou Yutang flew straight to Xiangjiang.
When I arrived, I called Wu Jing directly: "Brother Jing, to be honest, are you avoiding me?"
The two people had been in contact by phone for a long time.
But it has always been the same.
What a coincidence.
It turns out that Wu Jing was on a variety show in Beijing a few days ago.
Zhou Yutang also happened to return to the capital, but after the audition and wanted to find him, Wu Jing ran directly back to Xiangjiang. Zhou Yutang did not give up the idea of letting him make a cameo, and directly followed him on a thousand-mile chase.
"Yu Tang, I really don't have time recently."
Wu Jing thought about it and declined politely.
In recent years, he has become somewhat famous in Hong Kong circles, and his performance as a non-mainstream killer in "Slaying the Wolf" is amazing.
Last year, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the provincial film Golden Horse Awards for his role as Tian Yangsheng in the action gangster film "A Better Man".
Wu Jing has worked hard in Hong Kong for so many years, and his film career has finally taken off.
Then he took on Hung Kyung-bo's "The Handsome Man" and was about to start transitioning into a director role, directing and starring in the action film "Spike".
It is indeed busy.
You are busy.
Zhou Yutang has his own plan: "Brother Jing, I usually don't ask for help, but I have an idea to make this film a classic. You can come and help me make a cameo. There won't be many scenes, so it won't take up too much of your time." .The main reason is that my sister is also on the set and I really want to meet you.”
“Who is your sister?”
Wu Jing asked curiously.
"My sister Xie Nan, the host of Enlight."
Zhou Yutang said confidently: "You went to Enlight's variety show last time, did you meet us before? She made a guest appearance on my set this time A female reporter appeared.”
“.”
Wu Jing thought of the heroic figure with short hair, and his little heart beat a few times unsatisfactorily.
"Since you're not free, let's forget it."
"What, wait a minute, Yu Tang."
Wu Jing coughed a few times and said without hesitation: "I just said After thinking about it, I think I can adjust the schedule. If it's just a guest appearance, I can still spare a week or two."
"Xie Nan is really on your set? How do you know her? ”
“There is still a holiday, the arrangements are complete, Xie Nan is my biological sister. ”
Zhou Yutang patted his chest on the spot and promised: "You help me, I'll help you, we are all friends."
After hanging up the phone with Wu Jing, Zhou Yutang immediately called Xie Nan: "Hello, Brother Nan."
"What's up, Xiaotang, what happened?"
Xie Nan was also a little surprised.
The main reason is that the two of us usually chat more via text messages and less on the phone.
In addition, Zhou Yutang was really busy during this period, so there would be no reason to look for her if something didn't happen.
"Brother Nan, it's like this. Do you have any impression of Wu Jing?"
"You are talking about that straight man."
Xie Nan suddenly said.
“That’s one of my buddies.”
Zhou Yutang scratched his head.
“What’s wrong with Wu Jing again?”
“That’s right, Brother Jing is very loyal. This time I asked him to make a cameo in my movie, and he agreed without saying a word. He wants to get to know him. Wait, sister, you can treat him to a meal with me when the time comes."
"I have no problem."
Xie Nan has a very generous personality and agreed without much thought. .
"Is it that simple?"
He turned around and called Wu Jing again. He felt incredible: "Last time I asked Xie Nan if we could have dinner together, she ignored me."
You Is that a date for a girl to have dinner?
Zhou Yutang choked up when he remembered what Xie Nan had complained to him.
Wu Jingzhen is a model in the straight male world.
When he was doing an interview program on the Guangguang Variety Show, he met Xie Nan for the first time, and he probably had some affection for her. He directly asked the girl if she was married, if she had a boyfriend, and what her gender was
What kind of fairy is this? operate?

Thank you for your monthly support.
