Chapter 241 Hot, co-produced blockbuster
“Mr. Han, you can’t talk nonsense about the twelve gold medals.”
Zhou Yutang’s expression twitched slightly: “I’m all here, now you can Let’s talk.”
“Haha, it’s just a joke. Look, you’re serious.”
Han Sanping said calmly: “No rush. Come on, try what I just said.” The tea I ordered from an old friend is very tasty.”
Pushing the steaming teacup over, Han Sanping narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Taste the taste first."
"Not bad."
Zhou Yutang took a sip.
It is mellow in the mouth, sweet in the aftertaste, and fragrant on the lips and teeth.
The tea that Han Sanping can get is of course not low-grade, and it is estimated that it is not available on the market.
"When the time comes, you can bring some back and I'll install them for you."
"No reward for no merit, Mr. Han."
Zhou Yutang put down the teacup and laughed.
He is also very clever. He has been dealing with Han Sanping for so long and has a deep understanding of him.
Generally speaking, according to the normal procedure, Han Sanping only delivers tea when he is leaving.
This time, I came right up and gave him tea. It was obvious that what I was going to talk about might be quite important.
"Why don't you get any credit?"
Han Sanping laughed: "Just a few words behind closed doors, last year's "Latent", the second half of this year's "Snow Leopard", the above The meeting focused on praising it, and the photo was very good.”
“That’s President Han’s instructions. I’m just responsible for executing them.”
“Okay, don’t do this with me. , it’s like this, your film “Big Shot” also attracted the attention of the above.”
While making tea, Han Sanping talked about what happened this time: "It's like this. I recently held an Asian cultural exchange seminar. At the end of the meeting, it was decided that China would take the lead and make a co-production of a blockbuster film with South Korea to deepen the relationship." Promote cultural exchanges."
"And then?"
"Then I recommended you."
After listening, Zhou Yutang said, He was a little speechless: "Mr. Han, don't be joking. If you don't hire the three major directors for a project like co-production of a blockbuster, why should you hire me?"
Han Sanping said with a smile: "It's like this. There were a lot of opinions at the seminar, and those three were mentioned. Zhang Yimou got a lot of votes. It turns out that he has a movie over there that is already casting, and is about to start shooting."< br>
“The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling?”
“Yes, his movie will start shooting at the end of the year, and there is cooperation with the United States.”
“And Director Feng What? "
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.
In fact, after the Olympics, Zhang Yimou's first comeback film was originally this film. However, due to preparation time and contacting foreign stars to participate in the film, he made "Three Guns" first and then "The Hawthorn Tree", which was postponed to two It was officially launched today, years later.
The male protagonist is an American and has become the savior of women in the Chinese dynasty.
Zhang Weiping kept using the gimmick of a Sino-US co-production, saying that he had been in contact with Hollywood for a long time. One moment, Tom Cruise was confirmed, and the next, Leonardo was close to starring. In short, there was no success. Less news.
"Feng Xiaogang also has a big project in hand."
"Mr. Han, after this film is finished, I am going to take a break."
Zhou Yutang declined politely: "I'm going to the United States. I have some personal matters to deal with there."
"If you don't delay your affairs, you can finalize the project first."
Han Sanping He said sincerely: "Young people, you must put your career first and not indulge in the love of your children. Look at Zhang Yimou, at such an old age, there is no rest at all. He will start a new movie soon."
"."
Zhou Yutang was speechless.
Lao Mouzi is really energetic.
The film "The Hawthorn Tree" has just been released, and "The Thirteen Hairpins" immediately followed without any rest.
“What about Director Chen?”
“You’re talking about Brother Kai.”
The corner of Han Sanping’s mouth twitched slightly: “Let him make a blockbuster.”< br>
The glorious achievements of "The Promise" are still vivid in my mind.
Although Brother Chen Kai has deep connections in Beijing circles, this time the higher-ups are trying to achieve results, so it’s useless no matter how close you are.
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Zhou Yutang was not very interested, and Han Sanping simply got to the point:
"You also have your advantages. "Big Shot" is released in South Korea, 3 The number of viewers exceeded 1 million on the same day, breaking the box office record in South Korea for the fastest number of viewers to reach one million."
"Let me tell you the bottom line, this time it was the higher-ups who spoke up, please do it privately. I took your name and said it was for young people to carry the burden.”
"So, this matter is of great benefit to you, do you understand this time?"
"."
Hearing this, Zhou Yutang was helpless.
In terms of fame and qualifications, the three major directors are undoubtedly above him.
But "Big Shot" is now soaring at the box office, with such momentum that Zhou Yutang can already be regarded as a hot commercial film director in the film and television industry.
After understanding some of the details, Zhou Yutang went out carrying a bag of tea.
Then.
I had a meeting with Han Sanping.
A lot of people came, and Balabala talked a lot.
Mainly means that time is urgent and the task is arduous, giving encouragement and looking forward to the future
After a few key points, he said that the higher-ups would give full support to promote this matter.
A meeting like this can last for half a day.
Zhou Yutang is really convinced.
He understood why Han Sanping asked him to go to the toilet before the meeting.
Go back and summarize the requirements of the meeting with Han Sanping.
The so-called blockbusters co-produced by the two countries are super large-scale productions directed by famous directors.
First of all.
The investment must be large, the lineup must be luxurious, and the scene must be beautiful.
The most important thing is that this big project must have a big return.
…………………………………………
This matter will not be decided until the end of the month.
Zhou Yutang returned to the capital and accepted another talk show.
It is Aunt Yang Lang's "Interview with Yang Lang" that was included in high school English textbooks.
There are currently many domestic interview programs, and "A Date with Lu Yu" is one of the most famous.
Zhou Yutang has appeared on Chen Luyu's program, but he personally doesn't like Chen Luyu's style very much, so he chose "Interview with Yang Lang" this time.
He has watched this program before, and it is not profound, but Yang Lang's hosting skills and ability to guide interview topics are far better than Chen Luyu.
The most important thing is that Aunt Yang Lan is better at listening to the guests' speeches and has a sense of proportion. She often works hard to prepare materials before doing the program.
Meet Aunt Yang Lan in the backstage lounge.
Wearing a white professional skirt, she is indeed dignified and intellectual, and somehow feels like a high-level intellectual.
“Yu Tang, nice to meet you.”
"Sister Yang Lang, hello."
After taking the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Yutang, Yang Lang handed over a few pieces of manuscript paper and said with a smile: "This is the question I want to ask today. You should read it first and take a look. If there is anything wrong, we can adjust it.”
Aunt Yang Lan is quite easy to talk to.
Zhou Yutang glanced at it and said directly: "Sister Yang Lang, do more publicity for the movie. As for the scandal, don't talk about it."
His scandals have always been It is the guarantee of traffic.
Almost every time we are interviewed, media reporters will intentionally or unintentionally bring the topic to the scandal.
“OK.”
Although Yang Lang was a little regretful, he also respected Zhou Yutang’s opinion.
After simple communication, a few questions about the scandal were eliminated.
Soon.
The recording of the program begins.
The recording studio of "Interview with Yang Lang" is smaller than that of "A Date with Lu Yu", and there is no auditorium, so it intentionally creates an atmosphere of heart-to-heart talk between the two.
“I have interviewed many celebrities in the entertainment industry, but I have never met anyone like him.”
“He started from scratch, and in just a few years, he made a lot of money that is difficult for many people to do. Imaginary wealth and extraordinary status, music, investment, acting, variety shows, directing, he is doing everything, and doing it very well, so good that I find it incredible"
" He is the boss of the most popular entertainment company and is also a popular king among young people. Recently, his second movie "Big Shot" directed and starred in is now in theaters and has a good reputation online. He has also chosen to be more direct. The audience works hard to promote the film. Today, I want to talk to Zhou Yutang about his road to success.”
"Welcome Yu Tang."
"Hello, Sister Yang Lang."
"Well, I just met them backstage. It really shocked me. Sometimes, I often Your achievements ignore your age."
"My achievements are not worth mentioning."
"Yu Tang is really humble."
Yang Lang smiled: "Actually, I have wanted to chat with you for a long time, but I never had the chance. Today you are also busy with the film road show and came to participate in the show. Thank you very much."
"I also like Sister Yang Lang's program. I came here to promote the movie."
Zhou Yutang was very real when he came up, and Yang Lan even laughed: "I found that you are really attentive to promoting the movie. It’s almost a road show all over the country. I think I was in Shenzhen the day before yesterday, right?”
“Yes, because I saw the fans supporting me from all over the country, I felt moved and felt full of energy. Power.”
“In order to communicate face-to-face with movie fans, is this why you travel to various road shows?”
"The main reason is for the movie box office."
Zhou Yutang only plays true: "The movie box office is a very important indicator for a movie, showing the audience's recognition of the movie, just like It is the score of the essay written by the students in the final exam. I am the examinee and the audience is the teacher who scores. The higher the score, it proves that the audience recognizes what I expressed. ”
“This is an interesting statement. ”< br>
Yang Lang nodded: "You actually debuted not many years ago, but you have become more and more mature, from "Want to See You" to "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" to "Those Years", including Last year, many people said that you redefined handsome men in "The Last Man". What do you think about this? "
Speaking of which.
Yang Lang paused slightly, feeling really surprised. Zhou Yutang, who was sitting in the recording studio today, didn't actually put on much makeup, just did her hair.
But he was wearing a simple solid-color T-shirt with a white shirt, and he was already so handsome that she felt it in her heart.
Zhou Yutang said calmly: "Actually, I am a bit face-blind, and I have always felt that I am ordinary."
"You seem to have mentioned during the interview that there was a popular term on the Internet for a while. Wuqi Gu Tianle, ordinary Zhou Yutang' This sentence is a bit handsome without knowing it. ”
"That's all netizens are joking. In fact, I think a man's handsomeness does not lie in his face, but in his own wisdom and connotation."
"I think so too."
Yang Lang smiled sympathetically: "Only with both wisdom and connotation can you achieve such an achievement. Many people, including myself, are curious, how did you achieve such success today?"
“I just want to make progress. When I first started doing something, I didn’t think about success. I just thought that I can fail, but I have to grow. Maybe someone will hinder your success, but no one will stop you from growing.”< br>
"You have indeed made great progress in the past few years. The box office of "Big Shot" has exceeded that of your first self-directed and starring movie "Those Years", and it has also broken several records. Really It’s a very remarkable achievement.”
Yang Lang brought the topic back with ease: "What I admire very much is that the Zhao Tairen you played in "Big Shot" this time has a big breakthrough compared to the previous roles. I also went to watch this In this movie, I feel that the name of this character is very interesting. His name is Tairen, but there is no trace of benevolence and righteousness in him. Instead, he is full of hysterical cruelty and bestiality, which has aroused public outrage across the country. You also wrote this script. Was it intentional? Why?"
"Indeed."
Zhou Yutang took a sip and said: "This is a very complicated character, but he is definitely a bad person, so he is also affected. Severe punishment by the law."
"How did you come up with the idea of creating such a character?"
Yang Langzhuangruo asked curiously: "I saw an article about the "Big Shot" movie online. The interpretation revealed some unspoken rules in the real estate industry, which impressed me very much.”
"Oh?"
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
He seemed to feel that Aunt Yang Lan was quietly digging a hole for himself.
“For example, the fortune and operation methods of Zhao Group’s Taihua Real Estate were to first spend money to buy a piece of land, and then build a house which required various costs. However, Zhao Group’s Taihua Real Estate did not pay directly. Instead, he mortgaged the land to the bank and got a large loan, so that he could have the money to build a house. "
Yang Lan said, "After getting the money from the bank, we used the pre-sale system. , asked the house buyer to pay first, and successfully collected another large sum of money.”
"If the Zhao Group immediately paid off the bank debt and built the house at this time, it should be able to make a lot of money, but the Zhao Group did not do this. He took the money borrowed from the bank, plus a large sum of money received in advance from the house buyer. Use the money to buy different pieces of land, and continue this cycle until something happens to the Zhao Group. What do you think about this? "
"I have never done real estate. I don’t know much about it, but the audience is really awesome.”
Zhou Yutang reacted quickly, then drank water tactically to collect his thoughts, and then continued: “It is not suitable to express opinions on things that you don’t understand. , This will have a guiding influence on the audience, and do not match the things in the movie with reality."
Reality is far more magical than the movie.
But to be honest, ordinary people at the bottom are indeed very interested in real estate insider information and the lives of upper class figures who are usually out of reach.
Therefore, last year's TV series "Snail House" did not receive any publicity before it was released, and it immediately became a phenomenon after its release.
"Big Shot" has the same meaning, except that Zhou Yutang made a very thorough publicity plan, which is also one of the important reasons for achieving such a high box office.
“Can you tell us about your next work plan?”
“Recently it’s a road show to promote the movie, and next we will have a parent-child interactive outdoor variety show with Mango Channel.”
Zhou Yutang paused and continued: "As for next year, there may be a new movie project, but it has not been confirmed yet, so it is difficult to reveal it in advance."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Yang Lang looked interested.
After chatting about work, we then talked about life, which naturally turned to Zhou Yutang’s emotional aspects:
“Yu Tang, let’s talk about your views on mate selection. You have been spreading the word since your debut. There have been a lot of scandals, and I’m very curious about what kind of girl you like. I believe everyone is very interested in this. Can you reveal it a little bit here?”
This question was raised by Zhou Yutang after communicating in advance. She made sure there was no problem, so she asked.
"In fact, I am helpless about scandals, but the audience likes to watch them, and the media will create all kinds of scandals for me. I had a meal with sister Binbin, and the scandal spread. I took a photo with Tang Yan two days ago. , we are together."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "As for the girl I like, I think the first thing is kindness, which is a very important quality, and then it is best to be gentle and independent-minded."
“What about the looks?”
“As long as the looks are passable.”
“.”
Yang Lan was completely silent at this time.
Zeng Li, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Binbin
Those female celebrities who are rumored to have scandals with you are so good-looking.
Each episode of "Interview with Yang Lang" only lasts about thirty minutes.
This episode recorded by Zhou Yutang has a lot of material. He talks about his work and life, from the past to the future. The content is substantial and there are many jokes. It is expected to be broadcast in two episodes.
After saying hello to the program team, it would be best to air it in mid-October.
Because the movie promotion strategy is also particular, by that time, the movie will have passed the National Day movie viewing peak period. After the program is broadcast, it will continue to increase the popularity and attract another wave of viewers to the cinema.
After recording the program, get in the car and go home.
It’s back to sister Yu Feihong’s home.
Wang Qiang, who has been following Zhou Yutang for several years, is the person who is most familiar with his boss's schedule, except for his assistant Mao Xiaoyu.
The map of the capital has been loaded into the brain.
Several places Zhou Yutang frequents are specially marked.
Zeng Li recently went on a trip with her best friend Hu Jing. Gao Yuanyuan was on the set again, but Yu Feihong was in the capital.
After Yu Feihong's comeback, she successfully returned to the public eye with her stunning appearance in "Sword Rain".
Later, I received several endorsements and various business activities.
This sister is a very unique woman.
Mature, independent and beautiful, when filming "Love Has Afterlife", I borrowed a sum of money from Zhou Yutang.
A few million dollars is really nothing to Zhou Yutang, but Yu Feihong, who didn’t want to borrow his family’s background, was almost wiped out by that movie.
She worked hard to repay the money.
“Sister Feihong.”
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Yu Feihong exercising.
On the yoga mat, a standard python pose.
Her beautiful figure is fully reflected.
“Sit by yourself for a while.”
Yu Feihong continued to exercise attentively: “I am doing yoga.”
Beautiful young girls can use their beauty to commit crimes with impunity.
Mature women usually pay more attention to maintenance.
Except for his own talent.
We usually keep ourselves in a good state through various scientific methods such as diet and exercise.
This kind of mature woman is charming and charming, making people fascinated and fascinated.
Zhou Yutang didn't care about this, and went over to hug the princess.
Sister Yu leaned her head over, kissed him on the mouth, and continued to stick out her tongue.
Zhou Yutang understands.
No matter how independent and mature a woman is, she will always have needs.
…………………………
"Yu Tang, you're awesome."
Jiang Wen's way of expressing congratulations was the same as the storyboard he drew, which was relatively simple and direct.
But these two words also truly express his inner feelings.
The average daily box office during the National Day holiday is more than 50 million, and the box office of "Big Shot" continues to surge, sweeping the National Day schedule without any rivals.
Finished.
He picked up the glass and drained it in one gulp.
Yu Feihong, who was radiant after an afternoon of exercise, looked at Zhou Yutang’s beautiful eyes with radiance.
Not everyone can convince the arrogant Jiang Wen.
Zhou Yutang also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, the next Spring Festival period is up to you."
"Don't worry."
Jiang Wen patted his chest and laughed heartily: "Brother is very confident this time!"
After repeated failures, he also had doubts about Zeng himself. During the later stages of "Let the Bullets Fly", he even talked with the follower Zhou Yutang had exchanges and discussions many times.
Now that he has seen Zhou Yutang's "Big Shot" gaining momentum, Jiang Wen also feels comfortable.
While I am happy for Zhou Yutang as a friend, I also feel that the capacity of the Chinese film market has increased a lot compared to last year.
This is also great news for "Let the Bullets Fly".
I chatted with Jiang Wen for a while about the publicity plan.
After seeing the box office performance of "Big Shot", some professionals in the film industry even regarded Zhou Yutang's marketing strategy as the hand of God.
Jiang Wen also wanted to ask for advice and adjusted his publicity strategy to build momentum for "Let the Bullets Fly" in advance.
The Spring Festival period in December actually only lasts two months, and the preliminary publicity work for the movie can be started.
This movie also had tens of millions invested by Zhou Yutang, who also sincerely came up with many ideas.
After the party, he declined Jiang Wen's invitation to have another drink and followed Yu Feihong back home.
"Leaving tomorrow?"
"Well, we have to continue the road show."
Zhou Yutang hugged Yu Feihong, resting his chin on her shoulder, and wrapped his fingers around her Yu Feihong has bright and soft black hair.
Beautiful women seem to have a seductive fragrance about them.
"Don't move, let me take a good look at you."
Sister Yu took the initiative to get close to her, looking at her with those dark and clear eyes.
It seems to contain affection.
There is another mature charm that makes people restless.
No need to say more.
Zhou Yutang is leaving tomorrow.
But tonight is still a long time.
It’s long enough for two people to do many, many things.
