Chapter 288 Opening the Soul-Calling Universe, the Amiable Mountain Eagle
“Zhou, you really brought me too many surprises.”
Natalie smiled so hard that she could hardly close her mouth. .
If you say.
At first she was doubtful that Bob valued Zhou Yutang so much.
So after the success of the "Human Purge Plan" project, she simply believed in Zhou Yutang more than she believed in her husband.
My husband will also go out to find a mistress and work on film and television projects with Zhou Yutang, which can create huge benefits and help her to further her career.
"For the "The Conjuring" series, you are going to ask James Wan to direct it. It sounds like a good idea. When are you going to start the project?"
"No rush, let's wait until "The Purge" is over. Make the project cost estimate slowly."
Zhou Yutang shook the red wine glass, looked at Natalie thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "I think you should understand what I mean."
"Of course."
Natalie was startled for a moment, and soon she understood. She opened her arms and gave her a close hug. Her enthusiasm almost overflowed: "Zhou, please help me." I believe that you are New Line’s best friend, and our cooperation must be a win-win situation.”
“Thank you for our cooperation.”
Zhou Yutang raised his glass and smiled. Natalie touched.
New Line is a powerful company with rich experience in producing various types of films, including horror films, such as "The Butterfly Effect" and "The Deathly Hallows", both of which are classic horror series.
Zhou Yutang chose a new line and took the old relationship with Zou Wenhuai.
It’s my first time working together and it’s quite a pleasure.
Bob also gave him a lot of say, including the script and editing of the finished film, which made him feel very comfortable.
Today's "The Conjuring" series will be a money-making game after "The Purge".
However.
No contract signed yet.
Because the water here in Hollywood is very deep.
Especially in the accounting of movie dividends, there are a lot of tricks that can be played.
It is not uncommon for a movie that is obviously very successful to sell well, but through a series of operations, it can become a loss-making movie, and the investors cannot get any dividends.
So Zhou Yutang was prepared to check the situation first.
Make plans after seeing the dividend income obtained from "Human Purge Plan".
Cooperation is cooperation.
He will not trust these white people unconditionally.
Deal with these old foxes.
There is nothing wrong with being more cautious.
After discussing the script of "The Conjuring" with James Wan, I handed over the matter to Zou Zhongyan.
Old man Zou’s daughter, regardless of business aspects, has excellent professional abilities. She has no problem being Zhou Yutang’s agent here.
Then.
Zhou Yutang got on the flight back to China.
It takes about twelve hours to fly directly from New York to Beijing.
When he arrived in the capital, it happened to be night here in the capital. He thought he could escape the encirclement of entertainment reporters, but he didn't expect that there were still a bunch of media reporters at the airport with guns and cannons.
"Come out! Come out!"
Seeing the assistant next to Zhou Yutang come out of the passage first, the sharp-eyed entertainment reporter immediately recognized him.
Then, the eager entertainment reporters swarmed in as if they had been given a shot of blood.
Zhou Yutang listened to seven or eight questions popping up at the same time. Because of the time difference, his head hurt a little, and he said helplessly: "You guys are working too hard."
"Director Zhou, what do you think of "The Purge", which is expected to exceed 100 million in box office?"
"It's really a surprise. I didn't expect such results."
There were not many people at night, so Zhou Yutang simply accepted a series of interviews.
"Mr. Zhou, are you planning to develop Hollywood business?"
"The current focus of business is still in China."
"Mr. Zhou, what do you think about the scandal between you and Blake Lively?"
"What scandal? I'm not sure."
"There are photos of you. We went to have dinner together.”
“We are just friends, we just arranged to have a meal together.”
Zhou Yutang simply answered a few questions, and a team of security guards was in place. He stepped forward to clear the way, and decisively chose to get out of the way: "Tomorrow, the company will hold a press conference."
I broke out of the siege, got into the nanny's car, and went straight home to get back the jet lag.
It's not that he doesn't want to manage time, it's mainly because Zeng Li has been busy working as the producer of "Border Storm" recently and has gone to Yunnan Province.
Da Meiyuan and Liu Tianxian have another commercial shooting, and they are out of town
"The evaluation of rural people is: Zhou Gou is really good at playing."
"City people I also think Zhou Yutang can play, she is one of the four major actresses in Hollywood.”
"Zhou Yutang's vision is indeed trustworthy. Blake Lively is very good-looking. She was so beautiful in "Gossip Girl"."
"Well done! I support Zhou Yutang in winning glory for the country!"
"Upstairs, being with Sissi is also bringing honor to the country."
"I don't envy mandarin ducks or immortals, I envy Zhou Gou every day."
Just came back from abroad After catching up on the jet lag, the Internet was already abuzz with discussions about Zhou Yutang's commotion in Hollywood.
The industry is paying attention to the box office success of "Human Purge". Outside the industry, most of the viewers are people who have fun and prefer to watch Zhou Yutang's gossip.
It’s still about the scandal between Zhou Yutang and Blake Lively.
I don’t know how those people got the photos.
The first picture is at the banquet. Zhou Yutang in a straight suit and Blake Lively in a formal dress smiled and clinked glasses.
Another photo.
It was probably the paparazzi in Hollywood who took a photo of Zhou Yutang and Blake Lively going to a restaurant to have dinner together. Zhou Yutang was wearing sunglasses, casual clothes, Blake Lively's T-shirt and shorts, and the girl was smiling happily.
There are pictures and the truth.
When the news came back to China, the media began to add information, saying that Zhou Yutang, who became famous in Hollywood, fell in love at first sight with this popular Hollywood actress.
Yang Mi is still resting at home these days, Then he was about to join the cast of "Painted Skin 2". When he heard that Zhou Yutang had returned to the capital, he immediately took action.
The two made an appointment for a meal, and during the dinner they made various insinuations. Zhou Yutang touched her conscience and swore that he was absolutely innocent.
"Is it really just a simple friendship?"
"Why are you lying to me?"
"That's true. In fact, I'm asking for Shi Shi. Take your hand away"< br>
Da Mimi was very satisfied with this answer and rudely slapped Zhou Yutang's hand away: "I believe you, you have done nothing to regret Shi Shi."
"Yu Tang, Shi When will Shi’s "Bu Bu Jing Xin" be released? ”
"Almost."
Zhou Yutang glanced at Yang Mi's expression and knew something in her heart: "Did Yu Zheng ask you to come over and ask?"
This movie "Gong" made by Yu Zheng "Jade Locking the Heart" and Cai Yinong's "Step by Step Jade" are actually competing products of the same type.
He is also capable. Before the post-production was completed, Mango TV saw some trailers and decisively won the right to premiere this drama.
This way.
Mango TV already has two Qing Dynasty palace dramas, but which one is broadcast first will undoubtedly have the upper hand.
"No way."
Yang Mi twisted her body: "I'm just curious." "It's been decided over there, and the drama promotion work for "Step by Step" will start soon , it will be broadcast in June at the latest.”
Zhou Yutang chuckled leisurely and revealed the news.
After "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became popular, Xiangtai took a fancy to the market of Qing palace dramas.
This year, two Qing Dynasty palace dramas, "Step by Step" and "Gong Lock Heart Jade", were released consecutively. Zhou Yutang, a Tang Dynasty production of "Step by Step", is the producer and also has part of the investment share.
Zhou Yutang still has a special love for Liu Shishi. At this time, he has a close cooperative relationship with Mango TV. He has informed Mango TV in advance that the resources there will be given priority to "Bu Bu Jing Xin" 》.
“That’s it”
“You don’t have to worry, the market for Qing palace drama is huge.”
Seeing Yang Mi's slightly disappointed expression, Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "In one or two years, the popularity will not be low."
"In one or two years, will there be any policies?"
Yang Mi was very smart and seemed to hear something from Zhou Yutang's words.
"As long as you have an idea."
Zhou Yutang chuckled lightly and didn't say much.
Naturally, he received some inside information.
There is another meeting going on above.
Estimated next year at the latest.
The control and censorship of such Qing palace dramas will become increasingly strict.
Even when making costume TV series in the future, the complexity of various conditions such as historical authenticity and cultural traditions must be taken into consideration.
certainly.
That doesn’t mean you can’t make costume time travel dramas.
Just another way of expression.
With the national conditions of China.
As long as you have the background and connections, even a movie with ghosts in it can be released.
"You are really powerful."
Yang Mi suddenly nodded, then thought of her purpose, leaned closer, and said in a tired voice: "Yu Tang, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Do you want to be in a film in Hollywood?"
Zhou Yutang declined before she could say anything: "The next project will use actors from there, which is not suitable for you."
Long before Yang Mi, Fan Xiaopang, Li Binbin and other celebrities who had a good relationship with him had already directly or indirectly expressed similar thoughts.
Zhou Yutang also said the same thing.
Both "The Purge" and "The Conjuring" series are horror films aimed at the North American market.
This type of subject matter relies on creativity and atmosphere to attract the audience. If the play is not flattering, there is not much point in playing a supporting role.
"I'm not talking about that."
Yang Mi got closer and closer, her unique sweet voice sounded like she was coquettish: "Yu Zheng said he wanted me to sing in the TV series Theme song, can you write a song for me? ”
After a small gathering with Yang Mi, Zhou Yutang went to China Film Group.
Han Sanping was talking to someone in the office, and he sat outside for a while. Secretary Zheng stood up to greet him, and greeted him thoughtfully: "Mr. Zhou, congratulations on the box office success."
< br>Every secretary is very discerning, and Secretary Zheng is no exception.
He has served Han Sanping for many years. It can be said that he has seen Zhou Yutang grow bigger step by step. It is precisely because of this that he admires him more and more.
Zhou Yutang was not in a hurry. He was drinking the tea that Secretary Zheng had made for him in the reception area outside and chatting for a while.
When the people inside came out, they saw an angry old man. It looked like he came to beg for alms but was beaten back.
Looking at the shape of his mouth, he was clearly scolding "mountain eagle" and other unpleasant words.
"Mr. Han, calm down, getting angry is not good for the liver."
"Haha, it's not a big problem. Some old men whose corpses are wrapped in cloth know that they are keeping an eye on this support fund. "
Han Sanping's face was also a little gloomy, but after seeing Zhou Yutang enter the door, it suddenly turned sunny and he smiled brightly: "Yu Tang is here, come and sit down."
Zhou Yutang was already familiar with the art of face-changing, and took the initiative to hand over the publicity plan discussed by the company: "Mr. Han, the publicity plan for "Thieves Alliance" has been made."
" Oh, let me take a look."
Han Sanping put down the thermos, took the information and started reading, talking to Zhou Yutang about things in Hollywood.
While affirming Zhou Yutang's achievements, he also expressed his support in an encouraging tone.
Going to sea by boat is a very popular idea in the domestic entertainment industry. Hollywood has always been aloof to the domestic entertainment industry, and it seems to be shrouded in a veil of mystery.
Zhou Yutang's achievements there undoubtedly inspired and enhanced Han Sanping's confidence.
"There is nothing wrong with the plan. We can start working on it this month. China Film will fully cooperate."
Han Sanping crossed his legs and quickly finalized the publicity matter.
"A League of Thieves" is aimed at the summer release. Two months of promotion time is enough to boost the popularity of this movie.
“That’s right.”
As he spoke, Han Sanping seemed to have thought of something and continued: "Yu Tang, have you received an invitation to this year's College Student Film Festival?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yutang He nodded slightly.
The Beijing College Student Film Festival is led by the General Administration and sponsored by the Film Channel Program Center, Beijing TV Station, and the School of Art and Media of Beijing Normal University.
Zhou Yutang has also received invitations in the past few years, but either due to schedule conflicts or busy time management, she has not been there yet.
This year, the General Administration directly awarded him a gold medal and asked him to be an image ambassador. Han Sanping also spoke up, but Zhou Yutang couldn't push him even if he wanted to.
Looking at Zhou Yutang's reluctance, Han Sanping shook his head and laughed: "Sometimes, don't be too low-key. Your achievements are worthy of recognition."
Last year, he created Celestial Cinema. "Big Shot", which had the highest box office record, received many nominations, and even "Unfortunately" was nominated for a Comedy Film Creation Award.
Then Han Sanping asked about her daughter again.
Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty.
Zhou Yutang has always been reliable in doing things.
After the Chinese New Year.
Appropriate arrangements were quickly made and Han Jia Nu was named in the screenwriting and production departments of Jiangdong Entertainment.
"The company has many film and television projects. Sister Jia participated in the screenwriting work of "Reply 1997" and was also the producer of a film project in the hands of Wen Muye."
Zhou Yutang said briefly and expressed his affirmation to Han Jianu: "Jiajie is very capable. With a little bit of experience, there will be no problem in future projects."
This is also realistic. Han Jia's personal abilities are indeed good.
For a young old man like Han Sanping, money and beautiful women are like clouds to him.
What you want is nothing more than fame and the success of your descendants.
Zhou Yutang's compliment tickled Han Sanping's skin.
“Compared to you, it’s far worse.”
Han Sanping nodded with satisfaction and patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder: "In the future, take care of her more."
Han Sanping at this time.
Mao suit, crew cut, squinted smile, wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.
He looks like a kind and amiable little old man from the countryside.
Not at all like the violent and domineering mountain eagle just now
