Chapter 197 A lovelorn woman, bowing her head and raising her head
Today is different from the past.
Today's Jiangdong Entertainment is fully capable of handling some low-cost film and television drama projects on its own.
For example, "Hello, Old Time" is a campus youth drama with a low production cost. Basically, the company's own people are used, but because of the good reputation in the industry, it is labeled as a high-quality product. The selling price after the film screening is naturally not low, and the first round alone is expected to bring eight-digit profits to the company.
But a film project like "The Lonely Agent" requires the involvement of multiple forces in order to maximize profits.
The company's project status was mentioned at the annual meeting.
Last year, Jiangdong Entertainment’s two phenomenal blockbusters, “Latent” and “My Love from the Star,” were able to bring at least more than 200 million in profits to the company.
"Youth", which dominated the box office during the Lunar New Year period, also participated in the investment, earning at least eight figures.
At the company’s annual meeting two years ago, a seven-figure bonus was given out.
Brand new banknotes are stacked into a hill.
It's spectacular.
Zhou Yutang is so honest and direct in his work. If he does things with his heart, he will eat meat seriously.
The deputy manager of the film and television department respectfully asked: "Mr. Zhou, "Let the Bullets Fly" is still being filmed, and "Sword Rain" and "Journey to the Road" have been completed. What are the schedules of these two films? Schedule?”
Zhou Yutang browsed the schedule sent by Han Sanping.
Mr.
""Sword Rain" is scheduled to be released on May 1st. Communicate with Guangguang and start preparing a publicity plan as soon as possible."
Zhou Yutang pondered for a moment and soon made a decision: "As for "People on the Road", let's release it "Let's do it in August."
"Earthquake" is a film with a mission, so there will definitely be care in scheduling, and whoever touches it will die during the same period.
The second half of this year will be full of blockbuster movies, and several major directors have works. It is conceivable that there will be extremely fierce fighting.
The rivals of "Sword Rain" at the same time include "Ip Man 2" by Universe Dan, and the literary romance film "Moonlight Sinixuan" starring Zhang Xueyou and Tang Wei.
That's right, Sister Tang Wei, who was banned for two years, has returned to the world. She settled in Xiangjiang through the Talents Program. This movie was released in the mainland as an imported film, successfully defeating the "blocking" magic with the magic of "unity" .
The people in the film and television department were taking notes carefully. Zhou Yutang turned his pen and continued: ""Big Shot" sent people to the Magic City to scout the location first. In addition, the agency department arranged for Zhu Yilong to audition for "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" "."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
The work of the film and television department is well arranged, and it is the turn of the variety show department to report.
The person in charge, Zhang Yibei, was also participating in the company meeting for the first time. Facing the gazes of all the senior executives, she felt a little nervous. She took a few deep breaths and took the initiative to report: "Mr. Zhou, this is the variety show, The Voice Season 3 The princess may not renew her contract due to schedule conflicts, and the initial candidates for replacement are Mao Amin and Li Wen.”
"Just Mao Amin, communicate with Mr. Tian."
Zhou Yutang put down his pen and rubbed his forehead.
The princess took the initiative to talk to him about this matter after the Spring Festival Gala. It seemed that the queen's marriage had some problems and needed to be dealt with.
"The first season of "I Am a Singer" had a huge ratings It broke that Mango Channel has renewed the contract for a second season. A South Korean TV station is interested in the copyright of this variety show."
"Go to South Korea in a few days and leave it to me to negotiate."
"The current episodes of "If You Are the One" have received very good responses, with an average ratings of 2.87%, an average viewership share of 11.48%, and a maximum ratings of 3.2%."
"Deng Ziqi's debut album will be released in March. He will participate in the second season of I Am a Singer in half a year."
"The ratings of The Voice programs in Japan, South Korea and Thailand are currently benchmarked against the ratings of top domestic variety shows in each country."
People from the film and television department of Jiangdong Entertainment Company headquarters looked at the earnings report projected on the projector.
Everyone was shocked.
I originally thought that the projects produced by the company's film and television department were already unbeatable.
I didn’t expect that the profits from the variety show were not far behind.
Zhou Yutang’s variety shows and films blossomed last year.
A few popular variety shows have made a lot of money.
Everyone looked at Zhou Yutang with fanatical admiration and respect.
Zhou Yutang also nodded with satisfaction and tapped the table with his fingers: "How are the preparations for the two programs "The King of Masked Singer" and "Runningman" going?"
"There is Jiangsu Province TV Station Full support. The working group of "The King of Masked Singer" has been implemented. Guests are currently being invited. We are just waiting for the equipment to be in place. We will be able to record by the end of March. "Running Man" requires you to discuss it with Mr. Tian again. This kind of outdoor variety show There is no precedent before."
"Let Deng Ziqi do "The King of Masked Singer". As for "Running Man", I will go to Shanghai to talk to him."
Jiangdong Entertainment is currently a single horizontal company. Decision-making and flat management are all about directness and efficiency.
The company held a meeting to formulate the company's work plan for this year. The key TV drama projects are "Snow Leopard" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and "Shanshan Is Here" is to support Zhao Liying + make money.
Zhou Yutang originally started his career in youth dramas, which is the most lucrative film and television genre at the moment.
Excellent scripts, coupled with a stable filming team, the TV series produced are finally above the standard, with stable 8-digit profits, there is no reason not to continue to stabilize the basic market.
The working meeting is over.
Zhou Yutang arrived at the screenwriting department and took the initiative to ask the pretty girl, "Wan Wan, how are you doing in the screenwriting department recently?"
Wanwan's real name in Zhou Yutang's mouth was Liu Wanhui, and her pen name was Ba. Yue Changan is currently an employee in the editorial department of Jiangdong Entertainment.
"Hello, Old Time" is her work. In addition to receiving the copyright fee for the work last year, the company also received additional bonuses. She can be considered a rich woman with an annual income of hundreds of thousands.
"Very good, boss." Liu Wanhui raised his head and smiled.
"By the way, how is your relationship with Bao Jingjing?"
"It's very good. We often eat and go shopping together in private"
"We just had a meeting and I saw her Something seems wrong. What happened? ”
"Boss."
Liu Wanhui was shocked by Zhou Yutang's keen observation, and finally said: "Sister Bao, she seems to have lost love."
In the meeting just now, Zhou Yutang saw that Bao Jingjing's eyes were a little red. .
His ability to observe words and emotions is indeed a talent.
After learning the whole story from Liu Wanhui, Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: "You will graduate this year, and then come directly to the company to work. I will go over and explain her."
"Thank you, boss."
Liu Wanhui looked at Zhou Yutang's back and felt a warm and homely feeling of belonging.
Some people will cry loudly when they are broken up in love and go to KTV to vent their emotions. Some people will turn their grief and anger into appetite and eat and drink indiscriminately.
There are also people who have lost their love and turned their grief and anger into the motivation to code.
He devoted himself to the whole story without emotion, revealing the pain of lovelorn to many audiences.
This is the case for Bao Jingjing.
Zhou Yutang stood behind her computer with her arms folded and looked at it for a long time.
There were a lot of wads of tissues on the table. Occasionally she would wipe her tears when she got emotional, and then continue typing.
"Friday, July 29, it turned from sunny to cloudy and then to heavy rain and then sunny."
". Wang Xiaojian turned around and looked at me: Huang Xiaoxian'er, I could have been with Hou We play Go together, but now we have come all the way to pick you up, aren’t you touched? Have your cells that are responsible for touching been excreted by you?”
"I'm very touched. Sitting behind Wang Xiaojian, I feel unparalleled comfort in my heart."
Women are really made of water. When writing this, Bao Jingjing suddenly laughed, and then began to wipe her tears again.
I stretched my hand to the side and saw that the pack of tissue paper was all used up. I was about to get up to look for paper when I saw a tissue handed over.
"Thank you."
Bao Jingjing wiped her tears and blew her nose, then realized that her boss was standing behind her, and stood up quickly: "Boss, I didn't know you were here."
Zhou Yutang pulled up a chair and sat next to her, comforting her in a warm voice: "It's normal to be broken up in love, just let your emotions out."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Boss, can you also understand the feeling of being in love? "
"I understand."
"Then how do you get over a broken relationship?"
"I have never experienced this. Girls usually take the initiative to chase me. …”
"" "
Bao Jingjing was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I just felt sad about falling out of love and wanted to vent it online so that everyone can understand the pain of lovelorn people, so I wrote such a story. "
"The writing is very good. Are you interested in adapting the script and making it into a movie?"
"Ah? Boss, do you want to adapt the script?"
This otaku whose profession is to deal with words, suddenly heard these words from Zhou Yutang's mouth, and was surprised and happy.
She is the kind of person who can't even get the "one more bottle" from the bottle cap when drinking a drink.
I never dreamed that the articles I wrote casually on the Internet would be favored by Zhou Yutang.
Please, is that Zhou Yutang?
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "Talking to others about falling in love calmly can make people feel that falling in love may not be an embarrassing thing. I think it will be a very interesting film."< br>
"Of course I have no objection."
"The name needs to be changed. What do you think? It's called "Novel, or Guide", it's too casual."
Zhou Yutang pointed at her The title of the story made his expression twitch slightly.
It seems that the brain circuits of female authors are a bit strange.
"Hello, Old Times" in Chang'an in August was originally called "Mary Sue Case Report".
"Boss, I didn't expect it to be so popular. Please give me a name." Zhou Yutang thought for a while and chuckled: "It tells a story that happened thirty-three days after a broken love. It's called "33 Days of a Broken Love." Right."
"Thirty-day Love" is a very typical chick movie.
Zhou Yutang did research when he entered the film and television industry.
The so-called chick movie was first played by Hollywood in the United States. It is derived from the English "chickflick", which is literally translated as a chick movie. "chick" comes from British and American slang, which is a joking name for a young woman, so "Chick flick" is translated as "chick flick".
Filmmaking also requires adapting to local conditions. For the same subject matter, the routines will be different in different cultural backgrounds.
But in the final analysis, this type of movie has several key factors.
The plot is romantic and relaxed, the language is witty and humorous, and it is a romance film with a female character as the core.
In fact, the movie "Perfect" starring Zhou Yutang last year was a chick flick. Even though the plot was so bad, the final box office was still more than 90 million, which is enough to show the power of young women as a consumer group. .
Zhou Yutang quickly called Li Shuang:
"Sister Shuang, Bao Jingjing's "Thirty-three Days of Love" has notified the screenwriting department to change the script. Please inform the film and television department to add this film to this year's film and television project schedule."
"Okay, Are you going to make this film yourself?"
"I will make "Big Shot" and leave it to Teacher Xue Xiaolu. She is very good at handling such delicate and emotional films about women."
…………………………
The Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end.
Zhou Yutang, Liu Shishi and Yang Mi had a small gathering in a very private club in Beijing.
"Shi Shi, when will your movie "Sword Rain" be released?"
"I heard from Yu Tang that it seems to be scheduled for May Day."
Seeing Liu Shishi holding Zhou Yutang's arm with a gentle and sweet smile, Yang Mi silently withdrew her gaze and changed the subject: "By the way, Shi Shi, have you seen the post that broke the news on Weibo? It has been trending."< br>
“Is it about returning the pearl to Zhou Jie?”
"Yes, it's really outrageous"
The two women chatted about industry gossip for a while, and Yang Mi mentioned Tang Yan: "It's a pity that Tangtang is not here. Have you seen her performance in "Pandaren"?"< br>
“A movie?” Liu Shishi was confused.
"TV series, broadcast on Huizhou Satellite TV."
Women are really strange creatures.
Since the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" became a hit, the relationship between Yang Mi and Tangren Film and Television has taken a sharp turn and dropped to a freezing point.
The reasons are very complicated and are nothing more than related to interests.
Cai Yinong actually has a good vision, but she does not have enough connections. After the big fire of Damimi, she naturally looked down on Tangren Film and Television, which had limited resources.
Due to company reasons, the relationship between Liu Shishi and Yang Mi also faded away for a while. The two women rarely interacted with each other. It was Tang Yan who acted as the lubricant in the middle, maintaining the relationship between the three beauties of the sword and the sword. Best friend relationship.
Until Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei starred in "My Love from the Star" together, the relationship between Liu Shishi and Yang Mi was miraculously repaired, and last year they were both selected into the Four Little Actresses.
But when it comes to the top position, Liu Shishi should be able to stabilize Yang Mi at this time.
Movie fans > TV fans, this is the consensus in the industry. Liu Shishi has the hit movie "Those Years", and this year Zhou Yutang took her to star in "Sword Rain".
Yang Mi has received a lot of TV series, but not any film resources. This is why she envies Liu Shishi.
Tang Yan is miserable compared to these two.
After being unsuccessful in competing for the top four actresses last year, Tangtang also worked hard and joined several major productions.
However, the final box office of the super-big production "The Storm 2" was only 50 million, and "Pandaman" was even more scolded.
The entertainment industry is very realistic.
Unless you have someone behind you, your position as an A-list star is solid and you can do a few dramas, because your basic market appeal is still there. If the film and television dramas she starred in do not perform well in the market, then there will be another question mark when other crews hire her again.
There is Chengtian Culture behind Tang Yan, but Wu Kebo has gone crazy in order to make money from going public, and the company's management is in chaos.
The party is over, everyone gets into their own cars and goes back to their homes.
As soon as Yang Mi got in the car, her manager Zeng Jia, who was waiting in the car, couldn't wait to ask: "How's it going, Mi Mi, did Zhou Yutang say anything?"
"I just talked to Shi Shi. Zeng Jia said, "Why didn't you ask?"
Looking at Yang Mi's calm look, Zeng Jia said, " Your contract expires in the first half of the year, so you have to find a way out in advance."
Yang Mi lowered her head to play with her fingers, bit her lip and said, "Wait a little longer, he is in the capital, and he is still there. Chances are, the atmosphere isn’t quite right today.”
There was something she didn't say.
Mentioning these in front of Liu Shishi felt like losing to her.
Yang Mi didn’t want to bow her head.
Liu Shishi raised his head.
Looking at Zhou Yutang's side face through the dim light in the car.
The lower jaw is clear and superior, the nose bones are high, and the eyes are deep while tapping on the phone.
I couldn’t help but lean forward and rest my pillow on his shoulder, "Yu Tang, are you still chatting with Tangtang?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yutang did not shy away from anything. He sent the message in person and said with a chuckle: "Tang Yan was a little depressed because of the double blow of movies and TV series hitting the streets one after another. I comforted her."
"It's really miserable."< br>
Liu Shishi held Zhou Yutang's arm to watch him send the message.
Tang Yan sent several resentful and crying emoticons in the chat box.
Her mind was also filled with random thoughts.
Tang Ren Film and Television's several dramas after "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" were all tepid. If I hadn't been led by Zhou Yutang, I'm afraid my situation would be no better than that of Tang Yan. Where to go.
Thinking of this, Liu Shishi hugged Zhou Yutang's arms tighter.
Zhou Yutang felt the soft touch. While texting Tang Yan, he turned his head and asked, "I just heard Yang Mi talking to you about the contract?"
"Yes."< br>
Liu Shishi nodded: "The contract between Mimi and Lunda is going to expire in the first half of this year. The company is urging her to renew the contract and has sent an additional assistant. Mimi said in name The purpose is to take care of her life. In fact, it is a bit of a comprehensive surveillance to prevent her from contacting the outside world. She managed to sneak out today."
"How long does your contract with Tangren Film and Television last? ”
“Three years to go”
"Three years and three years. After three years, I will be a talker."
"Hahaha, don't make me laugh all the time. I will get wrinkles easily."
Liu Shi Shi burst into laughter in his arms.
In fact, this is how newcomers join entertainment companies. They basically have long-term contracts of more than five years. Cai Yinong treats Liu Shishi pretty well.
“Have you ever thought about what will happen after the contract expires?”
"I'm here to work for you."
Liu Shishi hugged Zhou Yutang's arm and deliberately acted cute: "You won't want me, right?"
Poor Liu Shishi is too lethal. If it is strong, it seems that people can't help but feel protective.
Zhou Yutang didn't care to reply to Tang Yan's message, threw the phone aside, put his arm around Liu Shishi's waist, held her on his lap, and joked: "Maybe you will be the boss lady of Tang Dynasty by then. ”
“Well”
After some tenderness, Liu Shishi smoothed the stray hair around his ears: "Yu Tang, do you think Mimi will renew the contract?"
"Definitely not."
Zhou Yutang was certain. road.
The artist's contract expires. If you want to renew the contract with the company, it was basically finalized half a year ago.
The fact that the contract has not been renewed until now speaks volumes about the problem.
Yang Mi is a very smart woman.
The characteristic of a smart person is that he knows what choice is most beneficial to him.
Hong Kong Da is also an old film and television company, but although it is well-known, its strength is limited after all. It can be seen from the departure of Mr. Zhou and Chen Kun one after another. If you want to further your acting career, you can only leave Hong Lingda.
Zhou Yutang has an 800-year-old mind and has mastered the skills of observing words and emotions. Although he was just at the party, he was busy sending messages to deal with work matters and comforting Tang Yan.
I didn’t interfere much in talking to the best friends.
But occasionally his eyes flicker.
Seeing Yang Mi’s expression.
He probably knew that she wanted to find a way out on his side in advance.
The only strange thing is.
Yang Mi didn’t even say this.
