Chapter 247: I can’t bear to see the old hero in the world
After making a hit movie.
You have to reward yourself with a piece of emotion.
In the past, in order to make progress, Zhou Yutang would take time out to write scripts at night after filming.
But now that I have a screenwriting studio, I have more resources at my disposal.
He only needs to outline the script and create the characters, and then let the screenwriting studio add and improve the story details according to his own ideas.
Bah bang bang!
Zhou Yutang clapped his hands, and everyone in the small conference room who was still whispering immediately fell silent.
“After reading the synopsis of this script, what do you think?”
“Crazy star chasing, that is my lost youth and memories.”
As the boss of the screenwriting department, I stood up and spoke without hesitation.
"The youth of our generation."
Everyone here feels the same way.
This script by Zhou Yutang is a youth drama targeting the post-80s generation in China. Although it is not finished, the characters of the protagonists are already very distinct.
The stories of these people are touching and can resonate with everyone.
One can't help but think back to the past.
A lot of big things happened in 1997.
This year, the Internet just started to become popular.
This year, Xiangjiang returned.
But in the script outline written by Zhou Yutang, the timeline does not just stop at 1997.
There are stories about the reunion of the hero and heroine a few years later, and even the reunion of high school classmates later, interspersed with various details.
With the growth of the male and female protagonists in the TV series, it also reflects the changes of the entire era.
Everyone listened quietly as Zhou Yutang continued to speak.
"Next, according to the important task of the studio, you will complete the script of "Reply 1997"."
"If the ratings are acceptable after the broadcast, we can consider making it Series Mode.”
In the nanny's car.
Yang Mi held the latest issue of "People of the Times" in her hand.
The cover photo of the magazine is Zhou Yutang.
Wearing a black slim-fitting suit, he rested his elbows on the table.
Fingers crossed, a close-up of the front fully reflects the superiority of Zhou Yutang’s cheeks.
Just like the superior lines carefully drawn by a sketch master, they are clear and cold.
Those deep eyes have a heart-stopping warmth, as if they glance at someone accidentally and look affectionate.
Behind his back.
It is the box office figures of big shots.
The numbers that set the box office record for Chinese movies are particularly dazzling.
It also seemed to give him an aura of distinction.
Yang Mi pursed her lips, flipped through two pages, then turned back to the cover, sizing up this guy.
It was the voice of her manager Zeng Jia that brought her back to reality: "Mimi, hurry up and touch up your makeup, Mr. Zhou is here to see you."
Yang Mi suddenly became energetic. A jolt.
Put the magazine in your hand aside.
Today is the launch conference of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". Bona has invested US$35 million in the 3D martial arts blockbuster, which has become extremely popular.
As one of the main actors, Yang Mi will of course also attend.
The key is that she also heard that Zhou Yutang will also attend today's press conference.
Seeing Zhou Yutang, Yang Mi stared at him with her dark and bright eyes. Zhou Yutang touched his cheek: "Is there anything?"
"No."
< br>
Yang Mi was embarrassed to say that she thought he was much more handsome in real life than he looked in the magazine, so she just asked: "When did you have such a good relationship with Bona's people?"
Zhou Yutang smiled lightly. : "Wang Wei is a nice person, we can chat easily."
The entertainment industry is already so big, especially the upper echelons of this circle.
Look down and see you when you look up.
He also has some thoughts and wants to recruit Wang Wei from Bona Pictures to work.
After several contacts, I realized that this Viagra was truly a top talent in the film and television industry. During this time, the relationship between the two was very hot.
"Yu Tang, I failed the audition for the crew of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"."
Speaking of this, Yang Mi looked very disappointed.
“Don’t be too greedy, do the things you are doing well first.”
Zhou Yutang is quite familiar with the work style of the national teacher, and this time he said that he would use a new actress.
"When will "Palace" be filmed?"
"Wait until the scene here is over, and then join the set directly."
Zhou Yutang withdrew the kiss that made her skin as solid as snow on the neckline of Yang Mi's skirt. Looking at her, she chuckled and said, "This dress is good today."
She wore a simple black suspender skirt, and her shoulder-length hair was slightly curled, which matched her tall figure and curves, and was really eye-catching.
“Thank you.”
Women are always very keen on how men look at them, and Yang Mi is no exception. She felt a little proud at the moment, and her tone became sweeter:
"Yu Tang, you just watched "The Empire of Heaven" directed by Xu Keda. After the National Day match, I heard that he has a close relationship with Wu Baige. Are you afraid that he will have opinions about you if you come here now? "
"You are thinking too much. "
Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled: "How can there be so many opinions?"
It's not surprising that Yang Mi has such doubts.
There are too many stories between Xu Ke and Wu Yusen.
Past grudges cannot be pursued. This year at the Venice Film Festival, Xu Ke personally awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to Wu Yusen. The two of them brushed aside their grudges on the stage, which became a hot topic.
While communicating with Damimi, Wang Wei, the vice president of Bona Pictures, brought Xu Ke over to greet him: "Yu Tang, Cao Cao is here. I just told Director Xu about you."
"Director Zhou, I have admired you for a long time."
Xu Ke shook Zhou Yutang's hand, with admiration in his eyes: "I watched "Big Shot" and it was very well shot. ”
"Director Xu, I grew up watching your movies."
The sedan chair carries people, and Zhou Yutang is also very humble.
The unbeatable Dongfang Bubai in "The Swordsman".
"Once Upon a Time" series, "Dragon Inn", "Dao Ma Dan", "A Chinese Ghost Story".
There are really too many classics, the unconstrained imagination of Xu Ke's works, It is indeed worth learning to bring a beautiful visual experience to the audience.
Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, then he felt proud and smiled enthusiastically: "Let's communicate more in the future."
Although he has white hair, he still has his own ambitions and pursuits.
As for the feud between Zhou Yutang and Wu Baige, what does that have to do with him?
He will have to make a living in the Mainland in the future. Seeing that Zhou Yutang is about to become a giant in the Mainland film and television industry, he must not offend him, not to mention actively getting closer.
Yang Mi stood beside Zhou Yutang obediently.
Listening to Zhou Yutang and Xu Ke introducing themselves, Yang Mi was actually a little flattered.
But before her eyes were as sweet as molten honey, she was soon called by Zeng Jia to take a photo.
There are quite a few acquaintances at today’s press conference.
Zhou Xun came over, looked at Zhou Yutang with lively eyes, and asked thoughtfully: "Are you and Yang Mi getting close?"
"Sister Xun, don't be joking. , we are good friends.”
"She almost touched you when she spoke."
"Yes? No, Yang Mi is an artist in my company. I will take her to meet the director."
" Haha. "
Mr. Zhou, who has been in love for a long time, only smiled slightly and said nothing, conveying an obvious message in his big and smart eyes.
You scumbag.
Zhou Yutang greeted Chen Kun without changing his expression.
From now on, it will be Xichangchanghua, which is famous in the world.
This kind of handsome guy with a feminine temperament is unique in the entire entertainment industry, and there is no meal replacement.
Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie has also arrived. Since "Huo Yuanjia" and "Tou Mingzhuan", he has never produced a good work.
I won’t mention “Kung Fu King” much, but “Ocean Paradise” has a pretty good reputation.
I don't know what he thinks, but he recently made a guest appearance in "The Legend of White Snake".
When they met this time, after shaking hands, the two hugged each other familiarly and expressed their appreciation for each other in a polite manner.
Zhou Yutang inadvertently caught a glimpse of the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
It suddenly dawned on me.
The Kung Fu Emperor is really much older than in previous years.
It seemed like my energy was suddenly drained.
The high-spirited Kung Fu Emperor was ultimately no match for time.
I can’t bear to see a hero in this world.
The smoke from the National Day stalls has cleared.
But the film industry is extremely lively.
Xu Ke's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" sparked a heated discussion, and several big directors in the industry also made big moves.
The male lead in Guoshi's new film "The Thirteen Hairpins" has been decided, and Batman Christian Bale will play the role.
When the news spread, one stone stirred up waves.
Brother Chen Kai is not willing to be lonely.
This time he did not recite a poem, but he was equally confident and expressed in a high-profile manner: "I believe everyone has been looking forward to "The Orphan of Zhao" for a long time. I can only say that this costume historical drama is definitely not the best. It will disappoint everyone. Let’s not mention the box office performance. I hope everyone can appreciate the artistic attainments.”
The publicity team over there had already taken action and began to publish press releases with the help of popular top actress Fan Xiaopang, which attracted a wave of exposure.
Fan Binbin plays Zhuang Ji in "The Orphan of Zhao", and one of her photos of her pregnant woman has become a hot search.
The gorgeous dress and silk dress are stunningly beautiful.
According to the news released in the interview, there are extremely fine gold threads buried in each strand of her hair, and the jade hosta on her head looks like a phoenix turning back, which is worth millions.
“Director Chen Da is so big this time?”
Zhou Yutang was curious and asked for confirmation in person. Fan Xiaopang said with lingering fear: "It's really so expensive. It looks very beautiful, but when I wore it for filming, seven or eight bodyguards followed me all day long, and I didn't even have to wear makeup to go to the toilet." I dare to lower my head, I’m so nervous.”
Fan Xiaopang can definitely get it, but after all, it is the crew’s thing, and it will hurt to pay for it. Teacher Fan has been extremely active in the entertainment industry this year, walking on all kinds of red carpets, and also participated in the investment in the film project "New Shaolin Temple".
That movie will be released during the Lunar New Year period at the end of the year, and may become Zhou Yutang's biggest competitor.
Entertainment journalists in the circle always like to cause trouble. "Big Shot" increased Xiaogang Pao's Chinese movie box office record by more than 100 million, so he took the initiative to block Feng Xiaogang, hoping to hear something exciting from his mouth. words,
"Director Feng, the box office record of "Earthquake" has been broken after only two months. How do you feel about this?"
"Feelings?"
Feng Xiaogang's expression did not change. Instead, he replied with a smile: "I feel very relieved. Yu Tang is an old friend. I am very happy that he can achieve such results."
The entertainment reporter pretended to be surprised: "Happy? Feng Didn’t you say that "Earthquake" made your life perfect? Now that Zhou Yutang has made your life not so perfect, you are still happy."
Feng Xiaogang probably wanted to give this entertainment a slap in his heart, but on his face. He still responded with a smile: "I am very happy that the Chinese film industry can develop so fast. This shows that the capacity of the film market is expanding, and emerging forces in the film industry like Yu Tang are also promoting the development of the entire industry to some extent. Make the whole cake bigger. Also, his acting skills are very good. He just won the Golden Eagle Award. I hope we can cooperate in the future."
Ning Hao's Bad Monkey Pictures Studio.
Zhou Yutang had half a day to spare, drinking tea and chatting, when he heard Ning Hao, who was wearing a big gold chain, grinning and said: "Yu Tang, Director Feng is really interesting, and I want to cooperate with you."< br>
“Kind words.”
Zhou Yutang also read the newspaper.
Entertainment reporters are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, but Feng Xiaogang is not a fool.
They are very smart.
Those are all just for the sake of exposure and traffic during the movie’s release period.
What's more, Zhou Yutang's status now is not just as simple as a new commercial film director.
The Jiangdong Entertainment he controls has become a presence that cannot be ignored in the entertainment industry, especially the variety show ace he controls.
In the future, if I have a movie to appear on, I might have to beg to appear on those popular variety shows to promote it.
"How is "The Golden Heist" going?"
"The casting has been decided, and you know the leading actor."
Ning Hao laughed: "Lei Jiayin is in the show. , I have appeared in your movies before.”
Lei Jiayin played a supporting role in Zhou Yutang’s debut film “Those Years”.
“Lei Datou’s acting skills are okay.”
Zhou Yutang also nodded slightly.
"Haha, why do you always give people nicknames?"
Ning Hao was drinking water. Hearing this, he couldn't hold himself tight and squirted out a mouthful of water.
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "His head is really big."
Lei Jiayin graduated from theater and was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Arts Center with first place.
He went to the Magic City to find Liu Shishi, and occasionally he would have dinner dates with Lei Jiayin and the people from the Dramatic Art Center, and they were all considered friends.
"There is also Guo Tao, who is also an old acquaintance. He called me not long ago and asked me to set up a game. He wanted to thank you."
"Let’s just forget about the dinner. Yeah, I'm really too busy."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a smile: "When are you going to start filming next month? I have to make some money quickly. Otherwise, I’ll be sorry for Big Dog Brother.”
Ning Hao also smiled bitterly.
The "No Man's Land" I invested in earlier is still stuck, and now this "Golden Heist" is paid for by Big Dog Brother. Li Ming is indeed very loyal.
“I haven’t even won an award myself. It’s outrageous that the Golden Horse Awards invited me to be a presenter.”
“The organizer of the Hundred Flowers Awards also invited me to be a presenter.”
"Then why didn't you go there?" Ning Hao looked a little surprised.
"Forget it, the Hundred Flowers Award doesn't mean much."
Zhou Yutang revealed his travel plan: "I'm going to go abroad next, and I have some personal matters to deal with."
Speaking of this Both of them were a little emotional about the Hundred Flowers Award.
In the beginning, it was one of the four major awards in the mainland and represented the people's choice to some extent. However, now it has developed into an embarrassing situation.
Facts proved.
In China, which has its own national conditions.
There are people with great powers.
Zhou Yutang’s script submission was given the green light all the way and passed without any hindrance.
Some people in the outside world soon got wind of it.
"Yu Tang, we have a game tonight. Many beautiful girls here are your fans. Do you want to come over and get together?"
Wang Zhonglei of Huayi Company has a very deep routine.
Let’s not mention the movie first. When you open your mouth, you will hit the target with all your might and attack the man’s weak spot.
Fortunately, Zhou Yutang was strong-willed and declined politely: "Mr. Wang, I have been very busy recently and really have no time."
Wang Zhonglei then smiled and said: "Is it the one you co-produced with South Korea? "Thieves Alliance"?"
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Mr. Wang, I got the news so soon."
Then they exchanged pleasantries for a while, but in the end they still didn’t agree.
After Wang Zhonglei hung up the phone, Lu Zheng also called, asking about film investment.
"Mr. Lu, Wanda can enter the game, but the share will not be too large. Do I need to connect to the backend data center of Wanda Cinemas?"
"Easy to say, I will help you handle it."< br>
At this time, the Eight Immortals are crossing the sea, each with their own magical powers.
Zhou Yutang seemed to have become a hot cake, immediately attracting crowds of people to grab it.
"The shares of Shanghai Film and Wanda can be reserved."
After dealing with a series of friendships, Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and had a plan in mind.
Wanda is the largest theater chain leader in China. There are only benefits to the cooperation between the two parties, and Maoyan cannot do without this leading theater chain.
He has a close relationship with Tian Ming, and he has some foundation in the Shanghai circle, which will be useful to the Shanghai Film Group in the future.
As for Huayi, forget it. He plans to wait until the ban on Huayi's shares is lifted, and he can cash out at a high level in the next few years.
The time has entered November.
In the movie registration list, information about "Thieves" appeared.
Director: Zhou Yutang.
Screenwriter: Zhou Yutang.
Main cast: To be determined
The entire entertainment industry exploded.
Zhou Yutang's popularity is unprecedented.
Controlled by Jiangdong Entertainment and China Film, it is directed by Zhou Yutang, a new commercial film director who has just broken the box office record of Tianchao Film.
This large-scale criminal action-themed production with a total investment of 120 million is a co-production between the two countries, attracting the attention of countless people inside and outside the industry.
"Doctor Zhou is awesome, this is really a top-level project."
"From the news, it seems that South Korean actors will be used. Is Zhou Gou going to South Korea to choose a concubine?"
< br>“I want the thigh era!”
“There’s going to be a good show soon.”
While there was crazy discussion on the Internet, Zhou Yutang was having a meeting with Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Lu Zheng and others .
With Zhu Yu from "Big Shot" in front, the investment share of this movie may involve a nine-digit box office share, so of course we have to fight for it.
After an afternoon meeting, we finally reached an agreement.
“Jiangdong Entertainment has a 40% share.”
“China Film has a 20% share.”
“Wanda has a 15% share.”
"15% share of SIPG."
"10% share of Emperor!"
This result is relatively satisfactory to all parties.
When Zhou Yutang was making movies before, he especially liked to control costs, and he always used small things to make big things happen.
Needless to say, "Those Years" is a low-budget youth campus film with a return on investment ratio of more than ten times.
Including the publicity costs for "The Lonely Agent" and "Big Shot", the maximum cost was 60 to 70 million.
This time it is a large-scale production with an investment of 120 million.
Zhou Yutang has never fought such a wealthy battle.
…………………………
“Rescuing Mr. Wu” went to find Wu Ruofu, but the discussion failed.
This matter was all part of people's psychological shadow, but the adaptation authorization was agreed upon and the script was renamed "Rescue Mr. My Life".
This movie doesn’t have any special effects or big scenes, so Zhou Yutang is going to give it to Wen Muye to try it out.
Following him for several years, Wen Muye has seen all kinds of scenes, big and small, and Wen Muye has gradually become able to take charge of his own business.
While at Gao Yuanyuan's house, Zhou Yutang called Wen Muye.
“Yu Tang, thank you.”
"Your ability is no problem. I will send you the script tomorrow."
"Okay!"
At night, Wen Muye put down his mobile phone with a slightly excited expression.
He really learned a lot during this time following Zhou Yutang, his junior brother.
Whether it is life or work.
He also has sincere admiration for this junior brother who is several years younger than him.
Of course.
He also got opportunities that many new directors dream of.
I am about to direct my first movie in my life.
Open the window.
Take a deep breath.
The fresh night air fills the lungs.
Wen Muye seemed to feel that the bustling lights in the distance were lighting up for him.
