Chapter 215 End of filming, Crime Universe
“What’s wrong?”
Liu Yifei took off her high heels and put on comfortable pink slippers skillfully. Her ankle was a little sore from standing for a long time during the activity. seems to be relieved.
“Do you know how rich Zhou Yutang is?”
“How do I know?”
Liu Yifei tied her hair with an elastic band on her wrist and said helplessly: "Mom, why do you care about this?"
Aunt Liu murmured: "Although he entered the industry late, he is still on the Forbes celebrity list. Ranked first, the announced income last year was more than 300 million, and the real assets must be more. How much must it be?"
She found it incredible when she thought about it.
The young man who took the script to the office to find the teacher that afternoon turned out to be someone she could only look up to.
Liu Yifei said funnyly: "Mom, I think you are almost blinded by money."
"You are still young and don't understand yet."
Aunt Liu shook her head.
The young and unexperienced girl pays more attention to feelings.
But mature women who have gone through vicissitudes of life are different.
They are more realistic.
The reality is that women need to rely on men who are strong enough to protect themselves from harm.
And now Zhou Yutang, no matter in terms of life, status, or money, is the best among the best couples Aunt Liu has ever seen.
It's a pity
After placing Liu Yifei's bag, Aunt Liu thought about it for a while before saying, "Sissi, do you want to stop thinking about that matter?"
“I’ve decided.”
Liu Yifei swept her hair around her ears and showed a firm and beautiful smile.
"Son, how much are you worth?"
Friends around Zhou Yutang were certainly curious, but they would not ask this question directly. Only Ms. Wang Fengqin asked quite directly.
"I heard from Mengmeng that it is now rumored on the Internet that you are I. The richest man in the entertainment industry?"
"You can imagine that. I am still the king of the United States."
Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly, but he was also speechless.
Every time Wang Fengqin spreads gossip, it is always due to classmate Lin Mengmeng. Last year, she did not send any special products. It seems that Mengmeng has stood up again.
"It's not much, just a few hundred million."
I explained it with reservations to the concerned old mother.
Zhou Yutang’s main income last year mainly included several aspects.
Film and television projects produced by the company.
In terms of movies, the main ones are "Alone" and "Youth". In the TV series, excluding "Latent" and "My Love from the Star", two phenomenal hits, the "Classmates" series has a good reputation and ratings. Both speed and efficiency, low profile and great wealth.
Mingjie Company has several popular variety shows, and it is a money-making monster.
Last year, several popular variety shows brought extremely amazing benefits. Excluding Tian Ming's share and the cost of maintaining the company's operations, Zhou Yutang's dividend income exceeded 9 figures.
Beyond that.
Zhou Yutang's celebrity status has taken off. Except for a few endorsements that are still in the contract period, the endorsement fees have also increased sharply, and there is still some miscellaneous income.
Currently, after deducting some project investments and costs from the funds available to him, and including fixed assets such as the Jiangdong Building and the shares of several companies, his total net worth is about 1 billion.
Of course.
This is just for now.
House prices are rising every day, and the value of Jiangdong Building is getting higher and higher.
In addition, the most valuable ones are Zhou Yutang's shares in Jiangdong Entertainment and Mingjie Company.
Jiangdong Entertainment almost belongs to him alone. Mingjie Company will not even be able to put money in sacks when the variety shows in Europe come to fruition.
Discuss income.
He is unparalleled in the entertainment industry.
Let’s talk about status.
Zhou Yutang has transcended the level of a star and is on par with the bosses of several major film and television companies in the film and television industry.
When starting from scratch, the most difficult step is the step from scratch.
After successfully taking that step, with a certain amount of capital, the connections and resources at your disposal are unimaginable to others.
That’s it.
The entertainment dynasty that Zhou Yutang worked so hard to build finally took shape.
"Lao Zhou, why is your son so promising?"
After ending the call with his son, Wang Fengqin was stunned for a long time.
Originally, I wanted to show Zhou Yutang the fruitful results achieved by my online clothing store this year.
Wang Fengqin’s online clothing store also benefited from the wave of traffic from “My Love from the Star”, and its revenue has successfully jumped from one million to ten million. It has also expanded its own factory and hired new employees. Quite a few people.
It sounds amazing, but compared to Zhou Yutang’s career, it is nothing to mention.
"My son mainly inherited my genes. Besides, no matter how rich he is, he earned it himself. As long as it does not violate the law, it is his ability."
When Zhou Zhengping heard about Zhou Yutang's income two years ago, I was so shocked that I couldn't sleep at night.
But recently, when Zhou Yutang calls home, she occasionally reveals career news to him.
Until now.
Zhou Zhengping was numb.
Zhou Yutang gradually became calmer about his achievements.
The key point is that Zhou Yutang has made so much money, and his charity has not fallen behind at all.
In addition to assisting the local poor, Hope Primary Schools in impoverished mountainous areas in southwest China are also under planning and construction.
These things are managed by Zhou Zhengping on a daily basis.
So he was both proud and proud in his heart.
The influence of reaching the top of the celebrity list is still growing. Recently, there have been a lot of random interviews and statistics on the Internet with female celebrities and entertainers as the subjects of investigation.
Question options such as "ideal boyfriend", "the man you most want to date" and "the most popular male artist" are based on celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. There is no suspense for Zhou Yutang. Reached the top spot and took the lead.
Previously, Zhou Yutang’s beautiful appearance became popular in the industry, and some female artists who had fever took the initiative.
Since Zhou Yutang topped the celebrity list, his status in the entertainment industry has changed a lot from before.
There is a place that can be reflected very intuitively.
That is, the number of female artists actively contacting him has increased exponentially.
His body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of incomparable brilliance.
Many female artists in the circle have focused their fanatical eyes on him.
The entertainment industry is a fame fair, but it is also a big dye vat.
There are all kinds of women in the circle.
Some directly expressed their goodwill through text messages, while others asked someone to make arrangements and invited Zhou Yutang out for a drinking party.
What’s even more outrageous is that some models and 18th-tier female artists directly sent some private photos with numbers showing off their bodies to Zhou Yutang’s personal email.
The meaning is obvious.
But you can actually understand it if you think about it.
Zhou Yutang is so high up that at their level, they are completely out of reach.
If you don't take the initiative, how can you have a story?
The pursuit of entering the entertainment industry is nothing more than fame and fortune. If you can stand by Zhou Yutang's side and become his woman, then it will be worth it to kneel down and be a licking dog. Everything you have chased in the past will be at your fingertips.
There is one person who doesn’t understand.
Mao Xiaoyu, the assistant next to Zhou Yutang, complained endlessly: "Boss, my hand hurts so much."
Last time he was crowned emperor overnight in Xiangjiang, the conscientious Xiaoyu and his classmates were afraid of missing important news. I took Zhou Yutang's work phone and replied to so many congratulatory text messages that my hands almost stopped cramping.
How long has it been?
Facing another wave of fierce attacks from female artists.
“Work hard, and this year’s half-year bonus will be doubled.”
Zhou Yutang just said a few words, and Xiaoyu was immediately filled with fighting spirit again, and he began to work hard and give himself a chance. Good to close.
What kind of coquettish bitch dares to act coquettishly in front of the boss? She is not as good-looking as Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi and is immediately blacklisted!
"Sun Dasheng, do you think you can catch me like this?"
Zhou Yutang looked at the silver bracelet on his wrist with an indifferent expression. He suddenly became angry and stepped on Hu Jun hard with the corner of his mouth. A disdainful sneer: "Do you think you can catch me like this? I can come out in two hours at most, do you believe it?"
Before he finished speaking.
"Zhao Tairen!"
Following Li Yao's clear but angry shout, his long legs kicked him mercilessly.
Oh haha.
Zhou Yutang fell down in response and lay side by side with Hu Jun.
The people watching melon-eating were in an uproar.
The shooting of the big shots is finally coming to an end.
This plot is that Hu Jun applied for an order to close the net and arrest him. In conjunction with the tiger hunting order from above, he wanted to take down the protective umbrella of the Zhao Group and at the same time arrest Zhou Yutang, who had done all the bad things.
Zhou Yutang wanted to abscond in fear of crime. After racing like crazy, he was blocked by Hu Jun on the street. The surveillance camera captured evidence that Zhou Yutang assaulted the police and injured others, and then he started fighting.
Then.
The siren sounded.
The long-legged policewoman Li Yaofei kicked and committed meritorious service.
The captain played by Wang Jianhui arrived with his people, and the last plot ended.
"Stuck!" Wen Muye shouted from behind the monitor.
Li Yao on the side immediately helped Zhou Yutang up, patted the dust on his suit jacket, and asked with concern: "Boss, are you okay?"
< br>"It's okay."
Zhou Yutang waved his hand, walked behind the monitor with battle-damaged makeup, and communicated with Wen Muye about the shooting results.
The last scene included an action scene, which was filmed many times. Hu Jun suffered a lot, and he himself was also injured.
It wasn’t Li Yao who kicked me with his long legs, but his feet were bruised on the ground during the filming process.
When making action movies, bumps and bumps are inevitable.
The big boss was injured, which made everyone around him nervous and even wanted to take him to the hospital for a check-up, but Zhou Yutang himself didn't care.
The wound is almost healed by the time we get to the hospital.
"Thank you everyone."
With a relieved smile on his face, Zhou Yutang clapped his hands, and the voices that were still discussing just now suddenly became quiet.
"The filming of "Big Shot" has been completed. Let's go back and clean up. The crew will hold a wrapping banquet tonight. We will not go home until we are drunk."
"All expenses will be paid by Mr. Zhao."
Zhou Yutang also laughed and played a joke from the movie.
I feel like this line has a bit of magic and could be included in the trailer.
"Wow, Mr. Zhao is awesome!"
Lei Datou and Guo Jingfei, two actors who came over to make guest appearances, heckled together.
“Mr. Zhou is awesome!”
The whole crew cheered one after another.
These people are all Zhou Yutang's old team, and they work together very well. The film was completed in less than two months.
The closing banquet is over.
Hu Jun drank a lot tonight and came up to hug Zhou Yutang. He smiled wryly without the heroic spirit of Qiao Feng: "Yu Tang, action scenes are really difficult, and you will also be injured as a result."< br>
“Little problem, Brother Jun, you did a great job, I feel this drama will be popular.”
Zhou Yutang’s calf injury was an accidental bruise while filming the last action scene with Hu Jun .
He didn't take it to heart, but Hu Jun did, and felt a little sorry.
Hu Jun's face glowed: "But it was quite fun to shoot. If you have a movie in the future, just come to me directly. I will be available at any time."
It is impossible for a first-line actor like him to I am always available, but if Zhou Yutang’s resources are available, the priority will naturally be higher than other film and television resources.
"Absolutely."
Zhou Yutang also said a few polite words, and then started chatting with Xu Guangtou and Wen Muye.
"Yu Tang."
Wen Muye was still thinking about the things in the movie, so he took the initiative to ask: "You buried those lines in this movie because you wanted to make a few more. Is it a spin-off film and TV series?"
Zhou Yutang smiled and nodded: "I have this idea, let's talk about it when we have the opportunity."
"No wonder, I think there is still something in the play. There are hints that there is a bigger protective umbrella behind the Zhao Group."
Bald Xu is also a talented person. His eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately understood: "Mr. Zhou is so awesome. How come you can think of so many things? I admire you. ”
"Haha."
Zhou Yutang, who had already developed an immune mechanism to Xu Bald's rainbow fart, just smiled.
He laid down several lines while filming the movie "The Lonely Agent".
One of them is the story of Wu Jing in "Wolf Warrior", and the human organ business run by Liang Jiahui. In "Big Shot", Zhang Guoli guest-starred as Zhao Longbiao, the chairman of the Zhao Group, who wanted a kidney transplant and couldn't find it. As for the matching, his organs were bought from the underground human body market controlled by Liang Jiahui in "Agent".
This illegal business is vaguely related to the organ trade in Thailand, and Zhou Yutang plans to wrap up this line in "Slaying the Wolf 2".
The Zhao Group is huge and has some unknown relationships with several huge black forces such as Luteng City and Jinghai City.
There are also Gao Yuliang played by Zhang Zhijian and Qi Tongwei played by Xu Yajun. These two leaders also appear in the play.
These.
This is the clue that Zhou Yutang laid in advance.
The grass snake lies in the line, and the veins lie thousands of miles away.
If this is expanded.
This is a complete criminal universe that Zhou Yutang is preparing to create.
Drip.
Open the hotel room door.
Zhou Yutang went to take a shower first, washing away the tiredness and the smell of alcohol.
I had been filming and socializing just now and had no reaction, but now the open wound on my calf was stimulated by the hot water, and it hurt a little.
I put on a pair of loose shorts and was about to put on some medicine when I heard a knock on the door.
"Boss."
"Li Yao?"
Zhou Yutang was slightly startled, then stood up and opened the door: "It's so late, what can I do?" ”
"That's it."
I don't know why, Li Yao's little face was a little red, but he still handed over a small bag behind his back with both hands, lowered his head and said: "Boss, I see there is something on your leg. Injury, inside is the potion I bought, specially designed to treat bruises."
"Well, thank you."
Zhou Yutang took the medical bag and said softly, "Get some rest early. Will you join the cast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" when you return? "
His artist never lacks filming.
After "Snow Leopard", Li Yao joined the cast of "Big Shot", and will soon play a very important supporting role in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Another TV series "Hello, Old Time" will soon be broadcast on Suzhou Channel .
Tang Yan mentioned this kind of treatment during several chats, and she was extremely envious of it.
"Yes."
Li Yao nodded slightly, mustered up the courage, raised his head, smiled and said: "Boss, good night."
"Good night. ”
Watching Li Yao disappear around the corner of the corridor, Zhou Yutang closed the door.
Looking at the several medical bags placed on the coffee table in the room.
A little headache.
Liu Shishi has filmed many fighting scenes and has rich experience. When chatting with Zhou Yutang, he knew that there were action scenes in "Big Shot", so he prepared some useful potions for Zhou Yutang in advance.
Liu Yifei also bought it and had it delivered by courier.
Zeng Li was even more attentive. He had already packed the movie in Zhou Yutang's suitcase before even turning it on.
As Zhou Yutang’s assistant, Mao Xiaoyu originally wanted to buy potions at night, but was stopped by Zhou Yutang.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao quietly bought it himself.
Everything is given away.
Also well-intentioned.
After all, Zhou Yutang couldn't bear to refuse.
The box office of "Sword Rain" was finally fixed at 368 million, achieving a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office.
Following this, Hong Kong director Chen Kexing announced the project of the "Martial Arts" movie, which will cost US$20 million and feature a top-notch luxurious lineup of Donnie Yen, Takeshi Jingcheng and Tang Wei.
"The Spy", which had gone through an overwhelming publicity campaign, finally held its premiere ceremony at the Magic City International Cinema at the beginning of the month.
This film is directed by Hollywood director Mikael Haverström and stars John Cusack, Gong Li, Zhou Runfa, Franka Potente, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kikuchi The spy movie starring Rinko, David Morse, Ken Watanabe and other luxurious cast members was claimed at the press conference to be an epic spy movie.
The total investment exceeds US$50 million. According to the one-three rule of the film industry, it must sell at least 800 million box office to recover the cost.
Zhou Yutang returned to the capital and first watched the movie with Liu Yifei.
Liu Tianxian admired Gong Li quite a lot. When she came out of the cinema, she hugged Gong Li when she got in the car. He raised his arm and said curiously: "Xiao Zhou, I think this movie is quite awkward. Do you think this movie can really sell for 800 million?"
"As of now, in Dreams It can be done here."
Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Yifei's slim waist: "The quality of the movie is not that high yet."
Liu Yifei leaned on Zhou Yutang's shoulder: "I saw this movie, which had already been promoted at the beginning of the year."
"It was originally going to be released in early January this year, but Weinstein Pictures watched it After the film was completed, I felt dissatisfied, so I re-edited it and postponed its release until now."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "Harvey is an old fox. For such a blockbuster, delaying the release is just a matter of time. It shows that there is something wrong with the quality of the film."
"Weinstein is very famous in Hollywood."
"Hehe, Director Feng was deceived by him."
Zhou Yutang chuckled: "If he keeps playing like this, sooner or later he will overturn."
When talking about Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein cannot be mentioned.
This person is very capable, but his reputation is not very good. The famous Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow is a masterpiece of Weinstein’s public relations operation.
A few days ago at the Magic City International Film Festival, Zhou Yutang was rushing to make progress and declined the invitation of Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film Group.
Xiaogangpao was invited to attend and fired shots at the forum "Chinese Films and Hollywood Cooperation Territory".
Without any mercy, he called Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein a liar on the spot, and also criticized the two brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, the bosses of his Huayi Company, for their self-aggrandizement in entering the international market, causing an uproar.
“Xiao Zhou, can you tell me how he deceived people?”
“It’s very simple. What Weinstein usually does is to go to film festivals. First, it was announced to buy out the overseas distribution rights of a Chinese film at a high price, and it was highly hyped, saying that a large amount of resources would be invested. The film studio must be ecstatic and unable to refuse the temptation to enter the overseas market."
< br>Zhou Yutang is also very clear about the routine: "Then he pays a meager deposit in advance, and after all other buyers have withdrawn, he then gives up the deposit and buys at a lower price. At this time, everyone on the film side was stupid and refused to sell. No, Director Feng was cheated so hard that he almost had PTSD.”
“Xiao Zhou”
"Well, classmate Xiao Liu, what do you want to say?"
"I want to say that you know a lot."
"Xianbao, average, third in the world."
Facing the adoring light in Liu Yifei's eyes, Zhou Yutang was a little bit carried away, and his little hands gradually became dishonest
