Chapter 176 Shocking scandal, movie watching party
“Eh, is it true? Tell me.”
Zhou Xun was obviously a little more interested, and he came closer, with his little hands Holding his delicate chin, his big and smart eyes stared at Zhou Yutang, as if he was listening attentively.
Zhou Yutang briefly talked about the script "Let the Bullets Fly" to Zhou Xun.
“Is there a role suitable for me?”
Zhou Xun was immediately moved after hearing this, and couldn't help but speak, and added: "I don't need to pay for the film."
"Really not."
Zhou Yutang shook his head: "But Kun Brother, you can give it a try.”
The female characters in this film are not heavy, and they are preferably mature women with a certain style.
Mr. Zhou has a lot of energy and excellent acting skills, but in terms of image, he is really not suitable.
He was going to let Chen Kun play the role of Hu Wan.
Just think about it.
The feminine and handsome character is better than Changhua playing the role of a bad villain. This strong contrast is really quite touching.
"Awesome, Yu Tang. The cast is like Jiang Wen, Zhou Runfa, and Ge You."
Zhou Xun even forgot to smoke a cigarette, muttering to himself, in the end his eyes Looking at Zhou Yutang with flashing light.
Three movie kings, a top-notch lineup.
The most important thing is that Zhou Yutang is very optimistic.
That means a lot.
After all, it is widely rumored that Zhou Yutang never fails in his film and television projects.
His film and television dramas are not phenomenal, at least they are hits.
Zhou Xun firmly believed this, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.
It’s a pity that there is no suitable role for me in this drama.
"Sister Xun?"
"Huh?"
A soft call pulled Zhou Xun back from his thoughts, shook the spreading ashes, and smiled: "Where did you just say?"
Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "Aren't you and Brother Kun neighbors? Bring the script back later and show it to Brother Kun. If you are interested, ask him to talk to me."
"He specified that he is interested. , is this a script you made?"
"The script is adapted from "The Thief of Officials" in "Ten Tales of a Night Story". The original author is also on the screenwriting team, and Jiang Wen also invited several A capable screenwriter took two or three years to produce this script. I thought it was very good, so I invested a little bit.”
“ Just tens of millions.”
"."
Mr. Zhou's heart twitched and he was speechless: "You are now a big capitalist. I heard that you still have a lot of Huayi stocks in your hands?"
"I'll take it." 1.8 million shares.”
“Why did you buy so many shares?”
“Sister Xun, you didn’t buy it, did you?”
"Hmm."
"."
Zhou Yutang was shocked: "Sister Xun, you are not from Huayi? You really didn't buy it?"
"No. Buy.”
Zhou Xun puffed out a smoke ring coolly: “Ms. Wang has told me to buy some, but I don’t understand stocks. I’ve always heard that the stock market is very risky, so why should I buy it?”
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched and he advised: "If you have a chance, go and ask Mr. Wang to buy some. You won't suffer a loss, believe me."
"Are you so optimistic about it?"
Zhou Xun's little face gradually became serious, and he nodded and said: "Then I'll ask my mother for some money."
Zhou Yutang: "."
After chatting with Zhou Xun for a while, he said this My sister was completely convinced.
Probably all the talent and skill points are focused on acting, and the talent for business and financial management is almost zero.
Can you believe that such a big star actually leaves all her money to her parents and asks her parents to give her pocket money every month? ?
After breaking up with Mr. Zhou, each went back to his home.
What Zhou Yutang returned to was the house he bought this year.
Zeng Li moved in from her original residence. In fact, Sister Li is now considered a rich woman.
"Latent" became a hit and after Magnolia was closed, Zeng Li had many commercial activities.
In the final analysis, the entertainment industry is all about monetizing exposure. Winning awards will enhance your status, improve your celebrity status, and the level of endorsements will also rise.
Now, in addition to China Unicom’s top endorsement, Zeng Li has also received seven high-quality endorsements including shampoo, skin care products, food, and home appliances.
This is the result of screening by the company.
Zeng Li is definitely one of the most profitable female artists this year. Recently, she and her best friend Hu Jing are thinking about opening a teahouse in Beijing.
After coming back to chat with the beauty in green, Wen Cun received a call from Chen Kun not long after. " I think it’s okay.”
“Okay, I’ll take it!”
That’s it, in just a few words, it’s all done.
Zeng Li was silent at the side, but she knew something about the project in Zhou Yutang's hand, and asked: "Is it "Let the Bullets Fly"?"
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and took Zheng Xiaolong's hand to send it. Come over and read the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
This is an 80-episode drama. The original work is an alternate history, but Zheng Xiaolong changed it to the background of the Qing Dynasty.
Because the adaptation project is huge and there are many characters, only about half of it was completed in a few months.
There are few quick shooters like Zhou Yutang in the circle.
It's normal to be like Zheng Xiaolong. Some screenwriters even hold back for several years before they can barely come up with a complete script.
Looking back and forth, I saw that there was probably nothing wrong. I called the other party and put my arms around the fragrant beauty in green clothes: "Sister Li, I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"Now I have a palace drama with a female protagonist, that is "The Legend of Zhen Huan". The script has not been finished yet. I am going to let you try to be the heroine."
“Can I do it?” Zeng Li hesitated slightly.
"Can you take a look first? Don't you have ancient imperial concubine costumes at home? They can barely be used. I see you brought them with you when you moved last time. Go put them on and try them out."
"Then wait a minute. "
Zeng Li did not doubt that he was there, and she went to the bathroom to change out. She also imitated the appearance of the concubines in the TVB palace drama, and bowed to Zhou Yutang Yingying.
"Ai, don't move around. Wait for me to change clothes first. Don't tear them. I bought them for more than 10,000 yuan."
"What I want is the imperial concubine outfit."< br>
The next day, Zhou Yutang, who was still sleeping, was awakened by the ringing of the phone.
I saw it was Mao Xiaoyu calling: "Boss, your scandal with Mr. Zhou has made headlines." "That's it? Don't disturb my sleep with this kind of thing in the future."
Zhou Yutang hung up the phone, hugged the soft body of the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi and fell asleep beautifully.
Last night, the audition lasted until about four o'clock, so it was inevitable that I was a little low on energy.
I didn’t return to the company until noon to catch up on my sleep, and saw a pile of newspapers on my desk,
[The romantic talent Zhou Yutang and Zhou Xun got drunk at the bar late at night, and the two staged a sister-brother romance]
[The love story of Zhou Yutang Adding another achievement, Zhou Xun is caught in a sea of tender love]
[The two interacted intimately at the awards ceremony as if no one else was around, and ex-Fan Xiaopang was extremely jealous]
[Let me count down Zhou Yutang’s exes for you]
Zhou Xun, one of the four great actresses who has been famous for a long time.
Zhou Yutang is also the most popular niche student now.
The scandal between these two people immediately shocked countless people.
“I obviously didn’t do anything?”
“Isn’t this bullying an honest person?”
Zhou Yutang threw the newspaper aside and browsed several entertainment portals online.
Except for the reports on the Huabiao Awards, the hottest thing is the scandal between him and Zhou Xun. Of course, what is even more outrageous are the netizens in major forums, as if it is Chinese New Year.
"Zhou Yutang played with real flowers. He won two of the four double ice games, right?" Runtu asked.
“If I were as handsome and rich as him, I would spend more money than he does.” A netizen who did not want to be named expressed envy.
“People at the scene rolled their eyes when they saw Fan Xiaopang last night.” An anonymous netizen said.
"Zhou Gou must be involved in some film and television series? Has the hype started again?" a netizen said.
Looking at the discussion on the Internet, Mao Xiaoyu suggested:
“Boss, do you want to issue a statement to clarify?”
“Forget it, let the company contact Zhou Xun’s agent For team communication, we just talk about cooperation projects and then make a statement and directly promote "Sword Rain"."
Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead with two fingers, looking extremely calm.
Hype is also part of the entertainment industry. Just as "Sword Rain" was launched, it took advantage of the trend to catch up with the popularity.
The two parties held a press conference, and the scandal quickly subsided, but it brought a wave of traffic to "Sword Rain".
The cast of "Sword Rain" has been confirmed, and the crew's preparations are going very smoothly.
Directed by Su Zhaobing, Zhou Yutang personally serves as the producer, Chen Xi serves as the producer, Zhang Jing and Dong Wei jointly serve as martial arts instructors, the photography director invites Huang Yuetai from "Painted Skin", and the costume designers are Xi Zhongwen, Song Xiaotao, and Several behind-the-scenes personnel from Zhouyi Company plugged in and joined the crew directly.
The preliminary preparations are now complete, just waiting for the filming to start in Hengdian next month.
Chen Xi's ability shown on the set of "My Love from the Star" completely reassured Sister Shuang, who was originally doubtful about her because of her age.
Zhou Yutang made the right choice.
She is really a talent behind the scenes.
God closed the door for Chen Xi to become an actress, but at the same time he opened a window for her to become a behind-the-scenes person.
She herself enjoyed it quite a lot and was very conscientious. When filming "Star You", she took the initiative to report to Zhou Yutang on the crew's specific filming progress basically every night.
It’s rare to find a migrant worker who wants to make progress so much!
According to Zhou Yutang's idea, he is planning to train Chen Xi as the production department manager of Jiangdong Entertainment.
"Sword Rain" has been properly arranged, and the initial film cost budget for "Let the Bullets Fly" made Zhou Yutang a little bit excited.
It is expected to start with an investment of 100 million!
Mainly because of Zhou Yunfa’s salary of 40 million!
Fa Ge earns more in Hollywood. This is the result of his obvious intention to join and taking the initiative to cut his salary after being encouraged by Zhou Yutang.
However, this project is a joint venture between China Film Group, Yinghuang Group, and Jiangdong Entertainment. Jiangdong Entertainment takes a 30% share, and the other two companies each account for 35%.
Zhou Yutang estimated that with Jiang Wen's temperament, the 100 million might not be enough for him.
This month, he was basically busy with the post-production work of "My Love from the Star", and finally completed the post-production work in mid-September.
After the post-production of "My Love from the Star" was completed, invitations were sent directly to several TV stations and the first viewing party was held in Beijing.
Those invited include Beijing TV, Mango TV, Shanghai TV, Qilu TV, Suzhou TV and other top-ranked TV stations in China.
Only these TV stations with relatively strong financial strength can afford such a large-scale production as "My Love from the Star".
The Chinese film and television industry has developed rapidly in recent years, with thousands of TV series produced every year.
But beneath the prosperity of flowers and brocades, the reality is cruel and cold.
There are many TV dramas, but the broadcast capacity of domestic TV stations is limited, and the overall supply of TV dramas exceeds the demand.
Film and television companies are trying their best to sell dramas. If the dramas they produce cannot be sold and rot in their hands, it means that the initial investment cannot be recovered and all the money will be lost.
So the TV station, as the buyer, is in an absolutely strong position in this relationship.
It is common for the film purchasing departments of some TV stations to receive kickbacks.
There are even better operations.
Let the buyer's personnel have their names in the film and television drama production cooperation as producers, directors, supervisors, etc., without participating in any filming labor, and legitimately receive high labor fees.
The buyer and seller can even reach a private agreement to provide shares and dividends to the director of the TV station's film purchasing department, etc.
But Zhou Yutang’s treatment was completely different.
Consensus within the circle.
His name is a golden sign. As long as he writes or stars in it, the ratings of this film and television drama will basically be guaranteed.
The current film "My Love from the Star" is written and acted by Zhou Yutang, plus Liu Yifei, who has a strong fan base.
Therefore, various TV stations attach great importance to this.
The station’s elite film purchasing department team was dispatched to participate in this film viewing event led by Jiangdong Entertainment.
After watching the finished film, the teams of these TV stations began to discuss frantically:
“The shooting technique of stilling time and space, I remember it seems to be specially used in movies, right? Zhou Yutang It’s actually used in a TV series!”
“This just shows that this TV series is well-made.”
A senior drama critic invited by a certain TV station also nodded his assessment: "The plot is very novel. It is not the model of a prince saving Cinderella and life-or-death love. The combination between the male protagonist with alien superpowers and the female star is also very interesting. What to watch, from the perspective of the audience, I think this drama is impeccable and even has the potential to become a hit.”
A middle-aged woman, the director of a TV station’s film purchasing department, had stars in her eyes and told her assistant. : "Professor Zhou played by Zhou Yutang is so great. I'm going to make an appointment with Mr. Zhou for dinner tonight."
"Zhou Yutang deserves to be a gold medal screenwriter. The overall picture of this drama is real and beautiful. I think it’s worth winning!”
“I’ll ask the leaders in the station first. Maybe the price prepared by the station needs to be raised.”
I saw the big meeting. In the room, film purchase teams sent by more than a dozen TV stations were buzzing with discussion and expressions of excitement that were beyond words.
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth.
Perhaps these people don’t understand the acting skills of actors, nor can they explain the specific shooting techniques, let alone the final ratings of the TV series.
But they still have professional sensitivity.
This group of people deal with TV dramas every day, and have long developed a keen eye for knowing which movies and TV dramas are excellent.
Looking at the current situation.
"My Love from the Star" has undoubtedly won their favor.
Who will be the winner next?
It depends on who is more sincere.
