Chapter 371: If you don’t care for yourself, take Hu Ge with you (please double the monthly ticket)
“Director Xu, Mr. Liu of Huaqi called again, do you want to answer it?”
“ Who? ”
Standing in the lobby of Beijing Dynasty Hotel, the light shone on Xu Guangtou’s smooth head, reflecting bright light.
“It’s Mr. Liu from Wuhan Huaqi Company.”
"Xiao Lu, please handle the unfamiliar phone calls yourself from now on, okay?"
Guangtou Xu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to his assistant very truthfully.
Some people wished he would die, but not only did he not die, but he was still alive and well.
At the beginning, I encouraged Huaqi Company to sell the copyright and received a kickback from it.
He then hugged Zhou Yutang's thigh.
Take off directly.
This time I earned more than just the hundreds of thousands in kickbacks.
On top of the original director's fee, Zhou Yutang gave an extra 5 million yuan in red envelopes.
This is not the most important thing.
The key is that the first movie he directed had a box office of more than 1 billion, and he truly became famous in one battle.
Today.
Who in the world doesn’t know this shiny bald head! ?
"囧囧" has just ended, and a big boss has already found him and inquired about his next movie plans.
Zhou Yutang spent more than one million yuan on the celebration banquet held in the capital tonight.
Seeing those long legs wearing leather shoes stepping down from the Maybach, Xu Baldy’s eyes behind the lenses were like the light from a flashlight. An eager smile instantly appeared on his face, and he stepped forward: "Yu Tang, I'm waiting for you."
"Director Xu."
Zhou Yutang and he hugged each other familiarly: "Congratulations, the second billionaire director."
"Good luck, good luck."
Xu Guangtou’s face almost burst from laughter. He touched his bald head and said in a somewhat excited tone: “It’s all thanks to the support of President Zhou that we can achieve this box office. I already have new ideas for the next sequel.”
The "囧" series has become a money-grabbing monster in the film market.
Since you can make money, you can continue filming.
Maintain the original lineup, the script is passable, and there is a high probability that you can make money while sitting there.
"For the sequel to "囧囧", there is no rush, the script can be written slowly."
Zhou Yutang chuckled softly: "The one that will be placed in the Lunar New Year file this year will definitely be "Now You See Me" ". "
He was a little amused by Bald Xu's eagerness, but it was also understandable.
When I signed the contract with him and Wang Baorong for "Journey on the Road", I signed a contract for three films in the "囧" series at once.
Now the second part of the series "囧" has far exceeded expectations at the box office, making him a lot of money. According to the contract, for the third part of the "囧" series, Baldy Xu and Wang Bao's remuneration will be used to offset their investment shares. , then you can get part of the box office share.
Who doesn’t want to make more money?
"Then we must make way for "Now You See Me". Let's work on the script first and then read it later."
The two entered the hotel talking and laughing, and Zhou Yutang said tonight The stage was given to Bald Xu.
"I remember very clearly that when I was working on "The Journey", I found Yu Tang. Without even thinking about it, he asked the finance department to give me 10 million on the second day."
"When I received the money, I was completely stunned. I am really grateful to Yu Tang. Without his generous donation and suggestions on the script, there would be no "囧" series. At that time, "囧囧路" was delayed due to various reasons. It took a long time for it to be released. I didn’t have much confidence at that time. I often couldn’t sleep at night. My wife should know."
The audience burst into laughter, Tao Hong also covered her mouth and chuckled, Xu Baldy continued: " I was so panicked, thinking that if I lost money, it would be over, so I called Mr. Zhou, and he encouraged me and said that he thought the quality of the drama was okay. "
"Bao and I were there. The two of them signed a contract for three movies, and everyone knows what happened later. The box office performance was really good, and "囧囧" was the strongest dark horse in the Lunar New Year movie last year, so "囧囧" was born." br>
Bald Xu’s voice gradually raised a few notches: “Yu Tang said at the time that this film would be filmed in Tyrande so that the audience could experience the exotic customs. I was a little skeptical because it was separated from the familiar domestic environment. , will the audience buy it? ”
"It turns out that his choice was extremely correct. Before it was released, no one believed that such a comedy would have such a box office, but we really created a miracle..."
Bald Xu indeed is a good actor.
Emotional intelligence is also really high.
There was no floating at the celebration banquet.
This artistically processed and emotional speech made the guests and media reporters in the banquet hall almost say Gao Chao.
Many guests cast admiring glances at Zhou Yutang.
The two-part "囧" series, including publicity costs, had a total investment of no more than 100 million, and the final box office results combined exceeded 1.4 billion.
Such a remarkable record has created a golden statue for Zhou Yutang, the manipulator behind the scenes.
In the eyes of many people, this young director who just won the Berlin Best Director trophy seems to be enveloped by a dazzling aura of divinity.
Amid thunderous applause, Zhou Yutang and Bald Xu smashed the ice sculpture symbolizing the billion-dollar movie box office figure together.
Next came the socializing part.
Xu Zheng is a veteran in the entertainment industry and knows many people.
Wang Baoru is also a real good guy. Feng Xiaogang and Liu Ruoying came to support him, and even Chengcai, a good brother from the crew of "Soldier Assault" also came.
Needless to say Zhou Yutang’s connections, except for Huang Xiaoming who was filming on the set and couldn’t leave, Qin Lan came over on his behalf, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Changtian, Li Ming, Huo Wenxi, etc. were all present.
Cai Yinong also came over with a brother, a sister from the Tang Dynasty and a familiar face.
"Yu Tang, congratulations on the box office success."
Zhou Yutang and Hu Ge hugged each other cordially, turned around and recognized the girl behind Liu Shishi: "Jin Daxi?"
< br>"Director Zhou."
"Do you know each other?"
Liu Shishi was slightly stunned.
"I had a cameo in "A League of Thieves" and played a dealer who dealt cards."
Jin Chen explained with a smile: "Director Zhou, congratulations on the box office success of "囧"."
>
Liu Shishi nodded suddenly.
Cai Yinong has a really good eye for selecting people.
Sun Li, the first sister of the first generation, is a perfect beauty and is considered a hit in the drama circle.
The next Liu Shishi is even more powerful, a popular celebrity who is both top-notch and looks down upon the young actresses of her generation.
The current Jin Daxi has pretty good qualifications.
In terms of popularity right now, it is naturally not as good as Liu Shishi, but in terms of dancing level, I am afraid it is still above Liu Shishi.
She once danced at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and even participated in the creation and performance of the Dai dance work "Flowers", which was included in the teaching materials of the Beijing Dance Academy and became a required part of the exam.
After the sexy card dealing in "A League of Thieves" last year, she went to participate in the dance show "Strictly Come Dancing" and directly won the championship of the third season, which is considered a minor celebrity.
"Yu Tang, you are a shareholder of our Tangren. Now that Jin Chen has signed with Tangren, please take care of any future projects."
Cai Yinong led Hu Ge and Liu Shishi over to reminisce about the past, and also Just for this sentence.
"I will definitely do it if I have the chance."
Zhou Yutang laughed softly and put his arm around Hu Ge's shoulders. The two had not seen each other for a while and started chatting. "Boss Zhou, the best director in Berlin, "囧囧" has won another billion in box office, awesome."
Lao Hu was wearing a black coat tonight, with his hair combed back, looking very stylish.
"How have you been lately?"
"Just like that, messing around, having a drama produced by the company, and then taking a movie from Xiangjiang."
"What movie?"
Zhou Yutang became a little interested.
"It's called "The Gorgeous Queen"."
Hu Ge shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself: "I guess you have never heard of Yinghuang's romance film."
Rong Tie Er, the heroine, a very popular Hong Kong singing queen.
Lao Hu, the male protagonist, is a mainland masseur who became blind due to diving.
Did these two partners have an affair?
After Lao Hu finished talking about his new play, he looked very expectant: "How was it?"
Zhou Yutang mourned for him for three seconds in his heart, and said implicitly: "It doesn't sound like he will be popular. "
"Boss Zhou, are you so comforting?"
This sentence caused real critical damage, and Hu Ge's expression twitched slightly: "Acting in a play, I'm so excited for this movie."
"If we have a chance, let's work together on a movie."
"Wucao, I finally hugged him on the thigh."
Hu Ge came up directly and hugged his shoulders.
Although Lao Hu usually dresses handsome and looks cool, in front of familiar friends, his funny attributes are undoubtedly revealed.
Zhou Yutang and Hu Ge were chatting hotly here, and Cai Yinong also led the first sister and Jin Daxi to socialize.
Tonight’s celebration banquet was attended by many big directors, producers, and film and television company bosses in the industry.
Many personal connections are accumulated through such entertainment.
......
Wang Baoyu accepted everyone who came tonight and drank a lot of wine.
The assistant with obvious dark circles under his eyes helped him out and got into the car. When the driver started the car, he suddenly said: "They say Zhou Yutang spends money generously. I think he is quite stingy. 1 billion box office, just Give me a red envelope of 5 million yuan.”
“What did you say?”
Wang Bao's face instantly darkened.
“I think it’s a bit of a loss.”
“Yu Tang makes so much money because he has the ability. How much should I get? The contract I signed, 5 million is already a lot. It's interesting enough, and I can get a share of the box office for the second part of the "囧" series. "
Wang Baohao said in a flurry: "Do your own thing well, don't talk behind my back, Yu Tang said to me. I'm very caring. It's not good for you to do this."
The assistant with dark circles shrugged his shoulders: "I just said it casually."
...
The celebration banquet is over and after the party is over.
Zhou Yutang was nowhere to be seen at the scene.
The first sister of the Tang Dynasty disappeared with her.
Jin Daxi looked around, pulled Cai Yinong and asked: "Sister K, where did Sister Shi go?"
"Don't worry about this, let's go."
"Oh."
Jin Daxi looked at Cai Yinong and Hu Ge's tacit smiles, and nodded thoughtfully nodded.
…………………………
Dynasty Hotel, Presidential Suite.
Turn off the lights.
But by the moonlight falling into the room.
You can see skirts and underwear scattered on the ground.
From time to time, the sound of a woman's gentle and soft moaning is heard...
Pa-ta-ta.
The lights come back on.
Liu Shishi was wrapped in a bathrobe and put her hair behind her head with both hands. The gentle little face projected in the mirror was radiant, as bright as a peach blossom.
Zhou Yutang leaned on the bed, tilted his head slightly, and lit a cigarette casually.
The white smoke puffed out made the handsome face hazy and mysterious.
Sometimes, he really admires women.
After connecting, before going to bed.
I haven’t forgotten my skin care routine.
Pop! Snap! Snap!
Liu Shishi gently patted her firm facial skin and applied the cream on her arms and white legs.
After quickly completing the final skin care steps, she went to bed again, and the fragrance on her body became stronger.
She glanced at her phone and replied to a few messages. After a while, she realized that Zhou Yutang was smoking a cigarette and watching TV. She took the half-burned cigarette and put it out directly, chatting in a cute way. :
"You are not allowed to smoke in the future. Smoking is harmful to your health."
"Okay, okay, if you don't smoke, don't smoke."
Zhou Yutang is not addicted to cigarettes either, and rests his chin on Liu Shi Shi Baixi asked on his shoulder: "How was it on the set of "Jing Zhong Yue Fei"?"
"It's not bad. I've almost finished shooting my scenes. The only thing left is the scene with you. The director and Brother Xiao Ming They also take good care of me. Have you said hello?”
"I told Cao Huayi that I will join the team in two days."
Zhou Yutang put his arm around Liu Shishi's waist and chatted while watching TV. He talked about Hu Ge, "Tonight you and Lao What are Hu talking about? I see he is smiling very happily."
"Get ready to cooperate with him."
Zhou Yutang laughed softly, and Liu Shishi nodded: "Lao Hu is real. It’s so miserable, I guess you are the only one who can lead him.”
To talk about Lao Hu’s journey to the big screen, it is really sad.
Last year's "Snow on a Thousand Mountains" was a hit in the ratings, and his role as a domineering president was also well received, and he was recognized by countless fans as a talented actor.
Then I got on the train and watched the main theme blockbuster "Revolution of 1911" controlled by Shanghai Film Group, and the result was another bloodbath.
Now.
Many people on the Internet have called him box office poison.
Zhou Yutang would like to give it a try.
Can you take Hu Ge flying?
