Chapter 359: Covering the sky with one hand, the myth of the dark horse
Huayi’s Mr. Wang learned the news from his assistant when he was having a party.
The music at the party was dynamic, surrounded by beautiful celebrities, and models with busty figures twisted their bodies wantonly.
But Mr. Wang suddenly felt that the sister in his arms no longer smelled good.
Pushing the woman away, he lit a cigar and took a deep puff. He felt a little depressed and said, "I have talked with the person in charge of Lao Mouzi Studio several times, but I have not been able to reach an agreement."
"It must be privately. We have already negotiated with Zhou Yutang and signed Zhang Yimou for him. He will be Huayi's biggest opponent in the future."
Zhou Yutang and Huayi in the past few years The company had a honeymoon period, and the co-produced "Youth" was even the box office ceiling for Chinese love movies.
But in the entertainment industry, there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests.
The honeymoon period of cooperation between the two parties is over. As Jiangdong Entertainment gradually grows, the interests of the two inevitably conflict.
Starting this year, when Huayi’s stock price peaked, Zhou Yutang cashed out his Huayi shares in batches, making profits of over 100 million.
Wang Zhonglei put out his cigar and muttered: "This boy, can he really cover the sky with one hand?"
"Zhang Dapao, who has always been so arrogant, why did he shut up this time?"
< br>......
"Some words can only rot in the stomach and cannot be said randomly. Some people cannot bear the consequences. Maybe they will even get involved. Zhang Dapao tax, but he has been There is a problem”
Wang Changtian of Guangguang and Cao Huayi of Xinli Media are alumni, and the two often drink tea together in private.
It was also inevitable to expect that the national teacher signed a contract with Jiangdong Entertainment.
Hearing this, Cao Huayi paused, with a look of surprise on his face: "Mr. Wang, what do you mean?"
"I didn't say anything."
Wang Changtian took a sip of tea and smiled like an old fox: "Look at Zhang Dapao. He declined all interviews and went abroad for vacation. He really knows how to enjoy it."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, so did Cao Huayi. The thousand-year-old fox understood instantly and sighed: "In just a few years, he has achieved such a career. Now with his connections, it is really amazing."
"Without the Imperial Master, Zhang Dapao won't be able to stand still for long."
"Old Wang."
Cao Huayi muttered: "You didn't sign Lao Mouzi either, don't you think it's a pity? "
"It's not a pity."
Wang Changtian said with a smile: "The light didn't have much hope, so it's not a loss if I didn't sign it. In the future, as long as I have a good book here, the national master himself. Nod, Yu Tang will not set up obstacles.”
"Guangguang also has a cooperation agreement with Zhou Yutang."
"Yu Tang is indeed affectionate and righteous. After saying "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", he promised to take time to come and guest star, and it will start filming after the year."
Wang Changtian pushed up his glasses: "Old Cao, if you want this project to be a hit, it must be done beautifully."
"Don't worry, Xinli Media will rely on this project next year, I will watch it personally. "
"Then again, someone will be upset this time."
"You mean Boss Jia?"
......
Boss Jia always has a friendly and smiling face.
But at this moment, the smile disappeared and his face looked a little heavy.
A circle of senior executives from LeTV Pictures were sitting in the conference room.
Including Zhang Zhao, who came out of the light and is in charge of the film department, and Xu Ming, a veteran of Jiangdong Entertainment and manager of the TV series department.
Zhou Yutang intercepted Zhang Yimou, which affected the next stage of LeTV Pictures’ layout.
A blind person can see that Boss Jia is in a bad mood.
Everyone was naturally on pins and needles, with their heads lowered and silent, just like students in class fearing that the teacher would call on their names.
“We really negotiated it with him.”
Boss Jia is also very human, his emotions are only slightly revealed, and he quickly regains his previous composure. He tilts his head and asks: "Manager Zhang, have you reached an agreement with Xiao Ma?"
"Mr. Jia "
Zhang Zhao stood up and replied: "Mr. Li was originally very interested, but on the night of the 12th, his attitude suddenly changed, saying that he wanted to pool funds to acquire the Digital Kingdom in the United States. , there are still projects in hand, and the capital turnover is not enough, so he will not participate in the "Tai Ping Wheel" project."
"The 12th? It seems that that day is the premiere of "Reverse War", I saw it. Zhou Yutang and Li Ming chatted for a long time at the reception. "
A senior executive in the conference room said.
When he heard the name, Boss Jia's face darkened and he said decisively: "Forget it, do great things and cherish your life. Without him, Li Butcher, am I going to eat pigs with hair on them?"
After a pause, He frowned and continued: "Then contact Xingmei and the film production company in Xiangjiang. For this project, the film department must come up with a clear plan as soon as possible."
"Zhou Yutang After winning Zhang Yimou, we also have the international director Wu Yusen. From now on, LeTV Pictures will carry out in-depth cooperation with Wu Director Studio and focus on improving its international image and influence."
" "Titanic" is the first project that LeTV Pictures has handled. Director Wu Yusen has been sharpening his skills for several years. This movie will also be the "Titanic" of the East, and it is destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese movies. Magnificent masterpiece. Please look at the ppt!”
Boss Jia stood up and pointed to the ppt in the conference room.
His expression was impassioned and his voice was ups and downs.
I was so excited.
The other senior executives of LeTV Pictures in the conference room seemed to be on the receiving end of blood.
The meeting lasted for a full two hours and then dispersed.
Xu Ming went to the corridor outside and lit a cigarette.
With the windows open, you can hear the fireworks and firecrackers exploding outside, which is very lively.
He was blown by the wind and gradually came out of his excited state, feeling a little empty for no reason.
Although Boss Jia’s dream is grand, it is like a castle in the air. He has been in the film and television industry for more than ten years, and he knows very well that in the film and television industry, it is not enough to have a dream, and it is not enough to throw money desperately.
Content is king.
But it’s definitely not that easy to capture content that interests the audience.
Unconsciously, the cigarette on Xu Ming's fingertips had burned out.
Don’t know why.
He suddenly missed the time he used to work at Jiangdong Entertainment.
The king of Hong Kong, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, still did not surprise the audience this year. After the box office of "The Magician" exceeded 20 million on the first day, the box office revenue on the second day was 18.21 million, and the box office on the third day was 16.76 million. .
"Liang Chaowei is getting old, and I miss watching him in "The Heroes" and "The Heroes" when I was a child."
"Scripts that insult my IQ."
"I fell asleep watching them, except Leap Ni, several other actors felt that they had no money to film it.”
The Douban score of "The Magician" is 6.6, and the Maoyan Movie score is 7.2, which is not considered excellent in any way.
The comments on the Internet also give very real feedback on the current box office situation, and there is still room for further decline.
For another movie, "囧囧", the box office remained at 38.75 million on the second day of release. On the third day of release, on weekends, the box office soared to 50.79 million!
After three days of release, the box office exceeded 100 million.
The box office is booming, showing a blowout trend. The myth of the dark horse continues.
Congratulatory messages from all directions almost blew up Zhou Yutang’s mobile phone.
Recruiting suitable personal assistant candidates has been put on the agenda, but it still takes time. In the short term, Mao Xiaoyu will continue to be a personal assistant.
The messages on Zhou Yutang's work phone were also handed over to Xiaoyu for reply.
He himself also received congratulatory calls from China Film, Enlight, Wanda, Shanghai Film and other companies.
"囧囧" was a big hit on the first day, with a box office of over 100 million in three days. The film itself is of good quality, and it continues the excellent reputation of "囧囧". The promotion and marketing are in place, easily suppressing the Lunar New Year movies released at the same time. other opponents.
It was a holiday after the company's annual meeting, but Zhou Yutang was still working. As an assistant, Mao Xiaoyu also had to fight on the front line.
However, she still looked full of energy, holding a stack of documents and knocking on the door of Zhou Yutang's office: "Boss, the happy Mr. Zhang is here."
"Invite him in."
Zhou Yutang put down the script in his hand and rubbed his forehead.
After the official announcement, the matter of Lao Mouzi was finally settled.
The national teacher’s energy is really no joke. It’s almost the Chinese New Year. I called him last night and discussed it until midnight, and even sent him a revised draft of the script of "Hunting".
Soon, Mao Xiaoyu led Zhang Cheng over.
The elegant middle-aged man in front of him with long hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses is the boss of Happy Twist. With a smile on his face: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Zhang Cheng. Congratulations on your "囧囧" box office success. Big sale."
"Haha, congratulations to Mahua for being on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Take a seat."
Zhou Yutang took the initiative to shake Zhang Cheng's hand and led him to the reception area.
The two sat opposite each other on the sofa. When talking about the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Cheng showed excitement on his face and said modestly: "It's my first time, I'm a little nervous."
Zhou Yutang's face A smile broke out on his face: "Just treat it with a normal attitude. I have seen Mahua's live performance and it was very good."
"Mr. Zhou has seen it too?"
"You originally performed in a small theater near the North Third Ring Road, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes!"
< br>Zhang Cheng was a little surprised.
Getting this compliment from Zhou Yutang is worth millions of rainbow farts.
The topic suddenly opened up, and the situation was almost settled. Zhou Yutang went straight to the topic and expressed his willingness to invest in Happy Twist.
Comedy genre film, this is a big killer in the Lunar New Year festival, Zhou Yutang will definitely not miss it.
There is insider information. He knows the program of this year's Spring Festival Gala in advance.
Happy Mahua is about to stand on this big stage. If you want to buy shares after they become famous, it will not be as cheap as it is now.
This matter was handed over to Li Shuang in the early stage. At this time, Zhang Cheng heard Zhou Yutang's words in person. He was secretly happy, but his face was quite calm and asked:
"Mr. Zhou, let me take the liberty to ask, do you have any specific plans for investing in Happy Mahua?"
"I have a comedy script here, and I am going to make a movie with Mahua's team."
"Mr. Zhou, I would like to hear the details."
Zhang Cheng sat upright suddenly, and his eyes behind the lenses lit up like two flashlights.
Even the imperial master ate Zhou Yutang’s cake.
Today’s entertainment industry.
Almost no one can refuse the olive branch he offers.
Zhang Cheng is no exception.
This is a shortcut to success.
Moreover, Zhou Yutang only invested in part of the shares of Happy Mahua, while Zhang Cheng and other shareholders still retained certain shares.
Everyone gets what they need, and it can be said that everyone is happy.
As early as when Li Shuang came into contact, the shareholders of Happy Mahua had already held an internal meeting and collectively raised their hands to vote in favor.
There are thighs that fly.
Isn’t it nice to just lie down and win?
