Chapter 416: Fast and Furious, the most proud of my life
Listening to Wen Ziren's slightly excited tone.
Zhou Yutang was not surprised at all.
The entertainment industry is so real.
Not long ago, Director Wen was passionately talking to him about creating the Conjuring universe, and he wanted to roll up his sleeves and start working on the sequel right away.
But after the popularity of "The Conjuring", Zhou Yutang received countless olive branches from Hollywood. As a director, James Wan is definitely also very popular.
Many famous directors in the entertainment industry have projects that can be scheduled for several years.
Now that Universal has invited James Wan to direct the seventh sequel to the "Fast and Furious" series, and they are willing to increase the money, James Wan will naturally not let go of this opportunity to further his career as a director.
After all.
The scale of "Fast and Furious 7" is different from the small horror movies. This is a top-notch large-scale production with an investment of more than 200 million yuan.
"New Line has already come up with a project proposal for "Annabelle", and I recommended John to them. The guy is very good and helped me a lot during the filming of "The Conjuring""
" I know John, and I will discuss it with Bob when the time comes."
Zhou Yutang knew that James Wan was talking about John R. Leonardi, the photographer of "The Conjuring", a very kind old white man who took the photography. First-rate skills.
"Zhou, are you interested in coming over to play a cameo in "Fast and Furious 7"?"
James Wan asked with a smile: "There is an Asian character in it, I'll add it later I’ll send you the script.”
Soon, Zhou Yutang received the script in his mailbox. While chatting with James Wan, he took a brief look at the script, and it still felt the same.
There is an Asian character in it. Although he is a supporting role, he seems to have some role.
"My schedule is full."
"That movie "Now You See Me", there is news from Hollywood."
"Yes .”
Zhou Yutang glanced at it casually, and his heart moved slightly: "I can recommend a friend to you, who is also a very popular star in China."
What big Hollywood productions have attracted countless people in the entertainment industry, but in his case In my eyes, there is no beautiful filter.
If you are not interested in the script, you will not accept it.
The Governor of Jiangdong has the confidence to be willful.
But it is undeniable that starring in such a big production is very helpful for improving your status.
Now that the opportunity is in front of you, of course you can push your own people to the top.
Zhang Ruojun has a lot of film contracts in hand, and Brother Long can take over. He has renewed his contract for another seven years. The increase in his status will be conducive to subsequent business activities.
“No problem.”
Wen Ziren readily agreed: “Send his information to my email and I will do the operation.”
As a person who received a lot of money from Universal, Great directors still have this right.
He's not a protagonist anyway, so he can definitely give me this favor.
Jiangdong Entertainment Building.
The two girls at the front desk wearing professional skirts usually go to work.
With a free time at work, Xiaoxue and Huihui finished their work and chatted about some insider gossip: "Xiaoxue, have you read the news? Mr. Yang took Huang Shengyi to visit Zhao Ben Shantou.”
“Isn’t that normal?”
The girl named Xiaoxue took out a Dior lipstick endorsed by Liu Yifei from her bag, wiped it on her mouth, looked in the mirror, felt very satisfied, and deliberately made a pout pose:
"Xiaoxue, What do you think of this color number? How beautiful is Liu Tianxian? "
"No less than 70%, you are Chaoyang Liu Yifei."
"Haidian Liu Shishi is really discerning."
Xiaoxue felt very happy and gossiped: "I saw the latest news. Huang Shengyi will star in an urban family ethics drama with Zhao Benshan's apprentice, playing a couple, four little dandies, in addition to Tianxian With the first sister, our sister Mi is also doing well, and this one is the one who pulls the crotch in Huang Shengyi.”
"Back then, in Kung Fu, there were so many pure and beautiful girls."
"Indeed, I was surprised."
Hui Hui also nodded, convinced: "I still have to find Regarding men, Mr. Yang often shows off his wealth. I think he is far inferior to our boss.”
“Don’t compare Mr. Yang with the boss. I won’t allow you to insult my husband.”
"Get out of here, you're shameless!"
The two girls were laughing and playing around in a relaxed and relaxed manner. It wasn't until someone walked into the building at the door that they stopped smiling and sat down in a dignified posture.
Just one look.
The two girls’ eyes widened.
Guli Naza walked in wearing a T-shirt with a small shoulder and a short skirt underneath, with a pair of high-heeled sandals on her long legs.
As the front desk of Jiangdong Entertainment, what beautiful girl have you not seen?
Especially during the audition for "Now You See Me" some time ago, almost all the big and small actresses in the industry showed up.
Huan is fat, Yan is thin, and there are many beauties, but for a beauty like Guli Nazha who makes people feel stunning at first sight, I really can’t think of a second one.
Nazar also nodded and smiled with the two pretty girls at the front desk. Accompanied by his assistant, he quickly entered the building and got on the elevator.
“Wow, Naza is so beautiful.”
Huihui and Xiaoxue watched Naza leave. Xiaoxue couldn’t help but envy: “If only I were so beautiful. Okay.”
Xiaoxue glanced at her short legs, which were 55% tall, and felt a little discouraged: "God, please give me those pierced legs."
Under those short skirts, her long and slender legs were wrapped Wearing black stockings, she looks a bit sexy.
Not only are men unable to withstand such a test, but even women can't look away when they see it.
Nazha was talking to the assistant next to him, but he didn't expect that he would become the envy of others.
She came over today to attend a meeting with the cast members of "Now You See Me". She got up early, dressed up, and came over early with a sweet smile on her face.
certainly.
The main reason for happiness is that I can see Zhou Yutang soon.
Her boss is so busy, so of course she must seize every opportunity to get along with him.
Unfortunately, when Nazha came over, he saw Zhou Yutang sitting and chatting with Hu Ge.
Nazha politely came up to say hello. She had collaborated with Lao Hu in "The Trace of the Sky". Hu Ge knew that she was Zhou Yutang's person and had a lot of connections with her on the set.
But she knew that the two had a good relationship, so she sat aside and read her script obediently without disturbing them.
Hu Ge took the initiative to congratulate: "Yu Tang, congratulations on the box office success."
"Love Like a Bouquet" continued to collect 42.18 million at the box office yesterday, and the total box office has surpassed "Painted Skin" 2", officially aspires to be the summer box office king.
Even "Painted Skin 2" couldn't stop it. "The Ruffian Hero", the movie "The Ruffian Hero" directed by Zhao Youting, which was praised by Bensheng Capital, even fell to its knees.
Not only in the Mainland, "Bouquet" also performed well in Hong Kong and Bend Province. It was even more dominant in Neon, South Korea and other places, with corpses everywhere.
Suddenly, the box office and reputation took off.
Zhou Yutang patted Hu Ge on the shoulder and chuckled: "The box office performance is about the same as expected, not bad."
Even the trump card of marketing sentiment has been used. If the box office If it's not decent enough, then you can only use the ticket to make up for the trick.
“Your standards.”
Hu Ge’s expression twitched slightly: “It seems to be a little high.”
He knew that Zhou Yutang was not in Versailles, but he did have the confidence. Apart from envy, he also had a little admiration and admiration.
"By then, the box office of "Now You See Me" will only be higher."
"Oh, I hope so."
Hu Ge asked with concern: "Really Do you want to attend at the end of the year? Is it too late? "
"It shouldn't be a big problem. You can reserve time for publicity then."
"I will definitely cooperate fully." Zhou Yutang crossed his legs and chatted with Hu Ge for a while.
The First Brother of Tang Dynasty is quite interesting. Every time he has a movie to appear in, Lao Hu will always arrange a few scenes to support him as a benefit to his fans.
This time "Bouquet" is no exception. I even posted on Weibo to help promote it.
The main creative members arrived one after another. Guli Naza obediently read the script and looked at the entire crew members who arrived one after another.
In addition to the boss's good friend Hu Ge, the first brother of the Tang Dynasty, there is also Deng Chao, a member of the men's running team.
Actor Zhang Yi, and famous female star Masami Nagasawa from Neon.
Gulinaza has read the script and knows that these two are members of Interpol.
Zhang Yi, who had a stern and upright face, was automatically ignored by her.
Her main attention was still on the beautiful lady with short hair.
Naza is very confident in her appearance, but it is undeniable that this popular neon female star does have a very unique charm.
The key is that while she was communicating with her translator, she glanced at Zhou Yutang several times.
The alarm bells in Guli Nazha's heart rang loudly, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
More people came in one after another, including deputy director Guo Fan, producer Chen Xi and the team from Vision Media.
The purpose of this meeting was also very simple. Zhou Yutang explained the shooting tasks and then communicated with the leading actors.
The movie will start shooting in July. Gu Li looked at Zhou Yutang who was speaking with stars in his eyes.
It seems that he has fallen into some beautiful fantasy, with a sweet smile showing at the corner of his mouth from time to time, until he was pulled back to reality by Zhang Yi beside him: "Director Zhou called you."
"Huh?"
Gulinazha was a little confused. Feeling everyone's eyes focused on him, he stood up and nodded in response, a little embarrassed.
Zhou Yutang glanced at her and didn't say anything. He just asked her to stay after the meeting.
"We just had a meeting, what were you thinking about?"
"Brother, I miss you."
After closing the office door, Gulinazha gradually became bolder and sat down directly On Zhou Yutang's lap, his eyes seemed to be covered with mist.
Zhou Yutang raised his head slightly and glanced in a certain direction, indicating the presence of surveillance.
Gulinazha curled his lips, then moved his buttocks and sat next to him.
"During this period, I heard from Sister Fang that you have been working out and doing well."
"Brother, I have worked hard."
Gulina was praised Zha, a smile instantly appeared on her delicate and beautiful face, and she began to ramble: "In addition to teacher Liu Tianchi's acting class, there are fitness and yoga classes every day. Recently, Pilates has been added. I heard it is very good for body flexibility. It helps."
"Well, the time for this shooting is very tight, you have to behave well, you know?"
"Brother, I understand"
Gulinazha put his legs into Zhou Yutang's arms and said softly: "I don't understand the character well enough. Please tell me about the play."
This little goblin!
Who makes her a sweet and obedient good sister?
After a while.
Gu Li's beautiful eyes were blurred, and Zhou Yutang with difficulty pulled his hand back from the soft and silky legs, and answered the untimely ringing of his cell phone.
"Mr. Han, are you here?"
After gently patting Guli Nazha's leg, Zhou Yutang began to talk to Han Sanping calmly, and made a rising gesture to Nazha in his arms.
Nazar stood up obediently.
But seeing the man's unconcealed charm when he was working hard, I felt indescribable joy in my heart. I couldn't help but lean over and give him a kiss on the cheek. Then I got up and went to the separate bathroom to tidy up. My own clothes and skirts.
“Nazar seems very happy.”
Xiaoxue had just received an internal call. When she saw Gulinazha coming out of the elevator, she didn't forget to smile and wave to them, and walked outside with light steps.
"I accepted the cake from "Now You See Me", so I should be happy. Did you go to Hu Ge's autograph just now?"
"It's almost time. Old Hu is very handsome. .”
“Nagazawa Masami is also very beautiful.”
The two girls at the front desk were chirping and thinking about it.
There are so many big names here today, probably the crew and creators of the company's super big project "Now You See Me" are meeting for a meeting.
“Hey, that’s not right!”
Xiaoxue stared at Gu Li’s long white legs with a strange look on her face: “Where are those stockings?”
Han Sanping came here this time not only to congratulate "Bouquet" in person on its box office success.
There are also seminar tasks arranged above. Zhou Yutang is a little resistant to those occasions, but there is nothing he can do about it.
China has its own national conditions, and if it wants to enjoy itself, it must have a collective consciousness.
Without the leadership’s directive spirit, how could the following achieve the results achieved?
So, the meetings that should be held still have to be held.
Zhou Yutang took Han Sanping to visit Vision Media. It happened that engineers sent by the equipment manufacturer were installing and debugging new machines.
There were also top special effects experts from Warner, this time mercenaries, who were invited to cooperate in the special effects work of "Now You See Me", and they all said hello to them.
Han Sanping heard Zhou Yutang's investment, which was an eye-opener. He sighed: "It's really expensive to do special effects."
"The money earned is used to spend."
Zhou Yutang I'm quite open-minded about this.
Anyway, the foreigners have the wool.
The box office split between "The Purge" and "The Conjuring" is very impressive, as well as video and various peripheral copyrights, as well as plans for sequels.
Moreover, Vision Media was a blockbuster at the Beijing International Film Festival, and the special effects of "Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of the Sky" also attracted a lot of attention in the circle.
At present, Vision Media is still focusing on investment, but it has also received a lot of special effects orders and continues to recover.
The price is definitely much cheaper than the sky-high prices in the United States. Even the special effects of Guangguang Laowang's "Four Famous Catchers" series were signed to Vision Media.
Han Sanping smiled and nodded: "China Film's projects can be done here in the future."
"Thank you, Mr. Han."
Zhou Yutang felt slightly happy.
China Film Group has different sizes. It has handled many projects this year, which will definitely allow the special effects company to grow as quickly as possible through practical operations.
“You’re welcome, you’re one of our own.”
Han Sanping patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder and said seriously: “When I retreat, you have to work hard.”
“ Mr. Han.”
Zhou Yutang was stunned for a moment: "It's still early to say this now."
"It's coming soon."
Han Sanping sighed: "Looking back, I always feel that there are still a lot of things that have not been done. Success, but I am satisfied to see you grow up.”
During his tenure, he suffered a lot of infamy, but he also really did a lot of practical things.
Some succeed and some fail.
However.
Those successes and failures are in front of this person.
But they are all insignificant.
The most proud thing in Han Sanping's life was to bring out Zhou Yutang.
