Chapter 181: Bringing the Flying Immortal, the Power of Capital
Mid-October.
Liu Yifei appeared on the stage of "The Voice" as a guest.
It was her new song "Like a Fish" that she sang. The ratings of the show that night soared to 5.58%, and the viewership share reached 18.89%!
It reached the highest level since the second season of the show.
Taking advantage of the situation, we promoted a wave of "My Love from the Star", and the effect was also very good.
After the song "Like a Fish" was aired on "The Voice", within just one week, it reached the top ten of major music charts, making it a hit.
In the comment area of the song, there were even rave reviews:
“As the lyrics say, this is a simple song, nothing unique, but I seem to hear it. Liu Yifei is in a slightly sad mood."
"Does the fairy know how to sing?"
"Tianxian has released albums and held concerts before, but probably no one remembers what she sang."
"This song "Like a Fish" is really nice."
< br>"Have you noticed that the songwriter of this song is Zhou Lang."
"Upstairs, isn't Zhou Lang Zhou Yutang's vest?"
"That's him! Last year After competing with Jay Chou on the charts, I stopped singing this year and just wrote songs for the gods to sing.”
"One thing to say is that Zhou Yutang wrote this song so well. Liu Yifei's singing skills are not outstanding, but when she sings this song, it sounds very tasteful."
A song by Zhou Yutang.
Liu Yifei, who had been silent for more than half a year, returned to the public eye again.
Many passers-by were even attracted by this song and became fans of Liu Yifei.
The huge fan base began to gradually gain strength, and in the next few days, the song reached the top three positions in major music charts.
"Xiao Zhou, I've been on many music charts."
When Liu Yifei called, her happy voice sounded a little cute: "My mother didn't believe it at first, but I showed her She was shocked."
Zhou Yutang smiled: "Because you sing well."
Liu Yifei confirmed: "No, it's because of your song."
She knows her singing skills well.
It definitely can't be said to be that superior.
Aunt Liu has been in a state of shock and confusion these days.
When she learned the news, she couldn't believe it at first.
Just think about it.
Back then, she took Liu Yifei to study at Neon for a long time. Various senior musicians made an album and spent countless resources to promote it.
Liu Yifei sang hard and danced passionately, but in the end, she didn't even get splashed.
Now Zhou Yutang wrote a song for her.
No resources were spent on promotion.
It became an immediate hit and topped the charts of major music charts.
The audience is a very simple and realistic creature. If the song you sing is good, then I will support you. If the song is not good, it will be useless for the gods to come down to earth.
Soon after, Zhou Yutang received a thank you call from Aunt Liu.
After hanging up after a polite exchange, Zhou Yutang began to arrange the next promotion and marketing plan for "My Love from the Star".
Having been in the industry for several years, he has a lot of experience.
If you want your work to be popular, the quality itself is very important, and the marketing hype must also keep up.
At this time, the fashion magazine "Harper's Bazaar" exposed the cover character of Silver Ten.
The stunning looks of Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei also aroused heated discussions:
“What kind of looks is this?”
“Wow! Zhou Yutang’s style in this set of photos is really incomparable and beautiful. !”
“Support Liu Yifei, come on!”
“This couple is so sweet! I beg you to stay together, it’s so good!”
"Zhou Yutang, the hatred of seizing his wife will never be forgotten!"
"The picture of fireworks falling like meteors is really beautiful. It seems to be the concept picture of the TV series "My Love from the Star"."
>"I'm even more looking forward to the TV series. It seems to be broadcast in just over a month."
This time the double cover of Bazaar can be said to have received rave reviews. Together with the song "Like a Fish", it not only made the long-awaited Liu Yifei's fame has skyrocketed, and it has also raised people's expectations for the TV series "My Love from the Star".
“Breaking the domestic TV series single episode sales record!”
"Zhou Yutang's new work is a movie-level TV series!"
"A stunning combination of an alien male god and a female star!"
A series of promotional releases almost knock people out.
Liu Yifei had been dormant for more than a year. When she appeared in the public eye again, she was taken away by Zhou Yutang.
In the future, various filming behind-the-scenes will be released one after another, which will continue to increase the popularity of "My Love from the Star".
Zhou Yutang was invited to participate in this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner.
Last year, due to the special circumstances of the Southwest, the Bazaar Charity Night was very low-key, but this year, a large red carpet of dozens of meters was laid outside the Yintai Center.
Bosses of entertainment companies and top celebrities in the entertainment industry came one after another.
Su Mang was graceful and greeted everyone in front of the signature wall. When he saw Liu Yifei holding Zhou Yutang's arm, her eyes lit up and she took the initiative to greet her:
"Yu Tang, Yi Fei, you are here.”
The enthusiastic response to the Harper's Bazaar Silver Ten double cover gave her a huge surprise.
"Hello, Sister Su."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, and Liu Yifei also said hello politely.
Su Mang is a very smart woman. She knows that she will get rich rewards for placing her treasure on Zhou Yutang, so she is extremely attentive.
Without much chatting, after signing their names, Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei walked into the dinner venue under the guidance of the staff under the sudden flash of lights.
"Yu Tang!"
My old acquaintance Huang Xiaoming came up with a smile as soon as he saw her, and also said hello to Liu Yifei: "Yifei, you are getting more and more beautiful."
"Brother Xiao Ming."
Speaking of it, the three of them actually knew each other on the set of "The Condor". At that time, Liu Yifei was still a very cute and cute girl. She is just as beautiful now, but her overall temperament is a little more mature.
Huang Xiaoming seems to have grown again. He is several centimeters taller than usual tonight.
Several people entered the venue and found their positions.
The seating arrangement at the Bazaar Charity Banquet is very interesting.
The bigger the seat, the further forward.
For example, Zhou Yutang sat at the front table with Huang Xiaoming. This time, Su Mang specially arranged Liu Yifei next to her. At the same table were Fan Xiaopang, Li Binbin, and Xu Jinglei.
All Dahuadan.
This is a status symbol.
I don’t know how many envious eyes are looking at this side behind me.
Liu Yifei sat obediently next to Zhou Yutang, but Zhou Yutang had friendships with several big flowers at the same table. After greeting them one by one, Huo Siyan, a social butterfly from Huayi, came over without even talking to Huang Xiaoming.
Zhou Yutang was also helpless.
Huo Siyan has made private appointments with Zhou Yutang many times without getting a response, but still persists in showing his goodwill with a smile on his face.
Apart from her, there were also female stars who kept glancing in this direction, like a female temptress seeing Tang Seng.
"What's going on?"
Liu Yifei was a little confused and felt like a light on her back.
To say that Zhou Yutang is very popular, it is not that great.
Huang Xiaoming crossed his legs like an old man and communicated about Huayi Company with Li Binbin beside him.
Zhou Yutang leaned over and explained in a low voice: "Jiangdong Entertainment has collaborated with the Beijing Art Center on a palace drama. It is a key project for next year. There will be many female characters in the drama. We are planning to cast a cast at the end of the year. This is probably for this purpose. Come.”
Liu Yifei understood.
The reason is simple.
A rare opportunity.
Now that you greet Zhou Yutang respectfully, he may not be able to remember you, but if you succeed in brushing your face, you will definitely make money by then.
But if you don't take the initiative to say hello to Zhou Yutang now, he will definitely not remember you.
Women in the entertainment industry are so realistic and proactive.
When the topic came up, Xu Jinglei was very interested and asked proactively: "Yu Tang, have you decided on the heroine?"
Fan Xiaopang and Li Binbin's ears perked up. stand up.
“It’s settled.”
As soon as these words came out, several big beauties instantly lost interest.
With their celebrity status, they only target movies. In addition, they can also appear in phenomenal hit dramas, but if they are not the heroines, they will naturally lose interest.
"Yifei, your song is so popular recently. When will "My Love from the Star" be released?"
"Probably in December, Yu Tang is arranging it. .”
“I wish you a great ratings success in advance.”
"Thank you." I was sitting chatting with Huang Xiaoming, but I didn't expect that Wang Zhonglei, who was not far away, took the initiative to come over with a glass of wine: "Yu Tang, it has been decided on the 30th. Do you want to see it together then?"
Wang Zhonglei is talking about the listing ceremony of Huayi Company.
About to become one of the bosses of a listed company, Mr. Wang’s face glowed.
“I won’t join in the fun.”
Zhou Yutang said a few polite words and sent Mr. Wang away, but he didn't take it to heart.
Hundreds of celebrities came to the scene today. Some of them just wanted to be on the red carpet and gain exposure by naming and criticizing a certain actress
Brother Jackie Chan is undoubtedly the protagonist tonight. , spent a lot of money, and even took out his own private collection.
Zhou Yutang also took pictures of a few things. In the end, Huang Xiaoming donated 500,000 yuan, and he also donated another 500,000 yuan, which was considered a token of appreciation.
The next day.
in the car.
Zhou Yutang gave the Cartier crystal necklace that he photographed to Liu Yifei,
“Do you like it?”
“Xiao Zhou, how do you know I like it? "Liu Tianxian looked surprised.
“The hearts are connected.”
Zhou Yutang said shamelessly.
He was very sure about Liu Yifei's preferences. When the auction came out that night, he keenly noticed that Liu Yifei's eyes were shining.
He also specially photographed a few pieces of jewelry for later use. This was considered a small surprise for Liu Yifei.
Not only that.
Zhou Yutang also accurately predicted that Liu Yifei would most likely give him a luxury watch that she spent hundreds of thousands on that night.
really.
Liu Yifei happily put away the necklace and rested it in Zhou Yutang's arms for a while. As if she remembered something, she took out an exquisite box from her bag:
"Little Zhou, I’ll give you a watch too.”
Time flies by.
The end of October is here in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Yutang is in the capital and is also concerned about the operation of the "Sword Rain" crew.
After receiving a report from Chen Xi, Liu Shishi has joined the team, but teacher Wang Xuexi has to take leave to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards, and the leading actor Deng Chao also takes leave.
This year’s Golden Rooster Awards will be held in Nanchang. Deng Chao is a native of Nanchang and was invited by the organizer to become this year’s Golden Rooster Awards event ambassador.
The Golden Rooster Festival is definitely not as influential as the Golden Horse Awards, because the nature of the awards is governmental to a certain extent and represents the meaning of radio and television to a certain extent.
Since 2005, it has been held every two years, alternating with the Hundred Flowers Award.
For example, "Assembly" in 2007 was nominated for the Grand Prize this year. One of Zhou Yutang's "Those Years" and "The Lonely Agent" was nominated for best music, and the other was nominated for best editing.
They were all consolation awards and did not mean much, so Zhou Yutang asked Wen Muye to see the world.
Brother Chao is also making a glorious return to his hometown this time. He was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor in "Assembly" and also performed "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion·Feast" in Hanfu.
This year’s Golden Rooster Best Actor is Wu Gang, the teacher Zhou Yutang found for Liu Tianxian in Renyi.
This person started acting in dramas in the 1980s and was a pillar of the entertainment industry. Later, he moved to the film and television industry, and he has mastered all kinds of roles quite well.
The two teachers that Zhou Yutang found for Liu Tianxian were Zhang Songwen, a double-actor, and Wu Gang, the newly minted Golden Rooster Award-winning actor.
The TV King and the Best Movie King all started to work together, and no one else was treated like this.
The Best Supporting Actor at this year's Golden Rooster Award is Wang Xuexi, and Chao Ge is in vain again.
But Wang Xuexi is also the King of Wheels in "Sword Rain", which can be regarded as a big deal. There is no stray outsider field.
Zhou Yutang won the two compensatory consolation prizes of Best Music and Best Editing, which is better than nothing.
Xiaogangpao was the biggest winner at this year's Golden Rooster Awards, winning Best Director and Best Feature Film for "Assembly". Several awards for best screenplay.
Zhou Xun won the best actress crown with "Li Mi's Conjecture" and Jiang Wenli's "The Beginning of Spring".
That’s it.
The 35-year-old Mr. Zhou has become the first actress in the Chinese film industry to win three gold medals.
October 30th.
The listing of Huayi caused a big earthquake in the entire entertainment industry.
The first batch of 28 GEM companies were listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Huayi Brothers closed at 70.82 yuan, an increase of 147.8% from the issue price of 28.58 yuan!
Feng Xiaogang holds 2.88 million shares with a book value of 204 million yuan, Zhang Jizhong holds 2.16 million shares with a book value of 153 million yuan, and Zhou Yutang, like Huang Xiaoming, holds 1.8 million shares with a book value of 127 million yuan!
The remaining shares, Luo Haiqiong, hold 540,000 shares, with a book value of 38.23 million yuan, and Li Binbin, Ren Quan, Zhang Hanyu, Hu Ke, and Kang Honglei each hold 360,000 shares, with a book value of 25.5 million yuan.
Overnight.
Stocks that were originally worth several million had a few zeros added to them.
Zhou Yutang did not go to the scene, but after watching the live video online, the frenzy at the scene was like the dancing demons in the Hong Kong movie "Big Era".
It is worth mentioning.
After chatting with Zhou Yutang last time, Zhou Xun turned around and bought 180,000 shares, which are now worth 12.74 million yuan.
On the night when Huayi went public, Mr. Zhou called Zhou Yutang. His voice could not suppress the surprise: "Yu Tang, you are really amazing."
The newly minted three-gold Grand Slam actress also realized what the power of capital is. Her voice on the phone was filled with shock, and she also admired Zhou Yutang's vision.
She only had a few million dollars to take on a movie. Now she made tens of millions without any effort.
It’s great to have a friend who can make you rich!
Of course.
The capital behind Huayi also benefited greatly.
Ma Yun holds 13.824 million shares with a book value of 979 million yuan, Jiang Nanchun and Lu Weiding hold 5.904 million shares with a book value of 419 million yuan, and Yu Feng holds 4.954 million shares with a book value of 352 million yuan.
Founder shareholder Wang Zhongjun holds 43.908 million shares with a book value of 3.11 billion yuan, and Wang Zhonglei holds 13.896 million shares with a book value of 984 million yuan.
Wang Zhongjun even made a bold statement: "I want to make Huayi the Time Warner of China!"
The king is still very courageous and has worked hard for several years to go public.
Huayi Company’s next project plan was immediately revealed after the listing.
First, the movie "To Youth" co-produced by Huayi and Zhou Yutang will be released during the Spring Festival in December.
This year’s Little Steel Cannon was absent from the Lunar New Year festival. Unexpectedly, Huayi actually seized Zhou Yutang’s trump card. Although Zhou Yutang himself did not appear in the role, as long as it is a film and television project he does, it is enough to make people look forward to it!
Secondly, next year Huayi Company will launch big-budget movies such as "If You Are the One 2", "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire", and "Tangshan Earthquake".
Beyond that.
Huayi will introduce Hello Kitty Entertainment Park for animation industry layout, and cooperate with Shi Yuzhu of Giant Group. It will use 70 million yuan of the super-raised funds to invest and control Huayi Giant by acquiring equity and increasing capital, and obtain 51% stake in Huayi Giant.
Cinemas, TV series, film and television theme parks and new media are also within the company's development scope.
As soon as the project plan at the press conference was published in the newspaper, Huayi's stock rose again, firmly establishing itself as the leading entertainment company.
A huge tsunami hit the entire film and television industry.
All the film and television companies in the industry with traditional business models were dumbfounded!
We are still adding rifles to Xiaomi, but you are using Italian cannons?
Film and television companies can still play like this! ?
Overnight.
Huayi Company directly became a behemoth with a total market value of more than 10 billion, equivalent to fifty Yinghuang Entertainment!
This undoubtedly changed the pattern of the entire film and television industry, and also announced that the entire entertainment industry has entered the era of capital.
Da Mimi seemed to have placed a monitor next to Zhou Yutang. Whenever he made money, he would send her caring and considerate greetings: "Yu Tang, have you really made hundreds of millions!?"
< br>
Hearing that Zhou Yutang became a minority shareholder of Huayi and made hundreds of millions overnight, Da Mimi felt a little dizzy.
Zhou Yutang explained: "This stock will not be sold in the short term."
The Huayi shares in his hand will be lifted next year, but the annual transfer rate will not exceed 25% of the shares held.
You can also use subsequent operations to cash out during the peak period of Huayi stock.
Anyway, the initiative is in his hands.
…………………………
A few days later.
Zhou Yutang was in a meeting at the company and received a call from Li Shuang: "Yu Tang, Wu Kebo from Chengtian Culture wants to invite you to dinner."
"I don't know you, why would he want to have dinner with me? ”
“He intends to invest in Jiangdong Entertainment”
"Go back."
Zhou Yutang said directly without thinking.
He had never dealt with Wu Kebo, but from being around the industry, he knew that this man was the boss of Chengtian Culture.
In the past two years, Wu Kebo also used many methods to list Chengtian Culture, and formulated a backdoor listing plan, targeting Xiangjiang Jiahe Film Company.
It's a pity that Zou Wenhuai hasn't been able to bite off this old and hard bone for a long time. Unexpectedly, he turned his attention to Jiangdong Entertainment.
to be honest.
Wu Kebo’s vision is still good.
Jiangdong Entertainment has been very popular in the industry recently because its reputation is so great. The film and television projects it has done are either phenomenal or blockbusters, and its overall profitability is frighteningly high.
With the size of Chengtian Culture and Jiangdong Entertainment, they might be able to suppress Huayi.
However.
This person has a deep relationship with Japanese capital, and Zhou Yutang does not want to have anything to do with him.
I don’t even want to talk to him.
