Chapter 607: Already honest, please let me go
Bang!
Hong Kong, a mansion in the center of Kowloon Tong.
The new iPhone 6 hit the wall and disintegrated innocently.
The face of a middle-aged woman with a slightly plump figure, who was originally quite charming, now became ferocious and twisted.
In front of the lively mahjong table just now, several middle-aged women dressed as ladies suddenly became quiet.
“What does this matter have to do with your boss!?”
“I The boss said that he doesn’t care about any grudges and will fight with anyone who blocks his way to make money.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“What I said is the boss’s attitude. Say, is it clear enough? ”
Just a few minutes ago, the brief but exciting conversation sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
Then Mrs. Long Wu threw her phone away angrily.
After exchanging glances with each other and confirming that they were untouchable, the ladies quickly lowered their heads and pretended that nothing happened.
The partners who are qualified to be Mrs. Long Wu’s partners are all noble ladies with status in Xiangjiang and have quick minds.
Mrs. Long Wu’s attack on Zhou Xingxing has been aroused recently. Everyone knew something about the inside story, but they didn’t expect Zhou Yutang to be involved.
And it wasn't him who ended up in trouble, it was his female secretary who made the call.
“The tone is arrogant, I really don’t know what to say.”
Several ladies from the Hong Kong circle immediately stood up for Mrs. Long Wu and denounced:
“Then Ni Ni seems to be an actor. She probably climbed into Zhou Yutang's bed before she got into the position."
"That's so presumptuous. How dare she speak like this as a mere secretary?"
"Calm down, don't be as knowledgeable as this little girl."
"Forget it, that's it for today's game."
After answering Ni Ni's call, Mrs. Long Wu said The evil fire shot straight into Tian Ling Gai, and he felt his blood pressure rising. Naturally, he lost interest in continuing the game.
Several ladies said goodbye one after another. The ladies who originally wanted to dig out their heart and lungs suddenly became elated and couldn't wait to share the gossip about their failure with their husbands and best friends in the car.
Famous in Hong Kong and Kowloon, he was actually slapped in the face by Zhou Yutang’s secretary.
Maybe there will be something good to watch next.
After the card game ended, he was still in a depressed mood, with his brows furrowed and his face uncertain.
She has been unhappy with Zhou Xingxing for a long time.
How could he have done it without his own help?
Some people just don’t know how to repay their kindness. They proposed several times to cooperate to enter the mainland film and television industry, but they were all rejected without leaving any room.
This time it broke out through online posts, but it was just a slap in the face of someone named Zhou.
Xingxing Zhou is not popular in the industry.
Unexpectedly, before Stephen Chow himself responded, he actually attracted another person named Zhou.
Zhou Yutang is different from Zhou Xingxing.
In addition to being Asia’s top star and an internationally renowned director, he is very popular in both Beijing and Shanghai circles.
More importantly, there are rumors that he and a top three-generation Mainland family in Shanghai are brothers, and their business is booming.
Even though she was far away from Xiangjiang, Mrs. Longwu saw this in the official news.
Although Mrs. Long Wu has a domineering personality, it does not mean that she is brainless. She can help her husband take care of the family business. She is very shrewd.
After being briefly manipulated by anger, she quickly regained her composure and analyzed the pros and cons.
The core conflict is Zhou Xingxing, not Zhou Yutang. There is really no need to confront him head-on, otherwise both sides will suffer.
"Is that all?"
Long Wu, who had just received the news, looked very gloomy.
"Forget it? How to calculate it? I can't swallow this breath!"
Mrs. Long Wu sneered: "Originally, everyone went their own way, and he couldn't cover it up. Xiangjiang's sky."
"If Zhou Xingxing is not allowed to stand up and speak clearly, where will he put his face in the future?"
Her mind changed slightly, and she had another idea: "I'll post another post. Wait, where is my phone?"
"Your phone is broken." The Filipino maid at home said cautiously.
“.”
Quickly put on the spare mobile phone, Mrs. Long Wu had already thought of a small composition to continue fighting Zhou Xingxing.
Just waiting for her to log in to her Weibo account, her expression was in a daze, gradually stiffened, and then settled on a dull expression: "Why can't I log in to my account?"
Netizens are still eating melon with enthusiasm.
At this time, it is roughly divided into two factions.
One group thinks that Zhou Xingxing is not a good person, while the other group strongly supports Zhou Xingxing.
The two sides were quarreling fiercely online, and some people took the opportunity to backtrack, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
However, not long after watching the excitement, everyone suddenly discovered that the Weibo account of Mrs. Long Wu, who was a party concerned, had been banned.
The reason is that illegal information, false information, infringement of other people's rights, etc. were detected.
Oh haha, very good and powerful.
Immediately, a reliable source in the Hong Kong circle broke the news, saying that the Governor of Jiangdong personally went to cover his mouth.
Everyone suddenly remembered at this moment that when Weibo was listed, there was a lot of hype about Zhou Yutang holding part of the shares.
This guy is still a shareholder of Weibo.
Now netizens are even more excited.
Mrs. Long Wu’s attack power was very strong, and her output was as fierce as a tiger’s, but in the end she lost her account.
Zhou Xingxing himself has not responded yet. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yutang, who was behind the scenes, has easily suppressed the matter, and the public opinion has suddenly turned around:
“It’s already 2014. Are you still so arrogant? "
"It's funny, the Longwu family is king in Xiangjiang, but in the mainland, it is completely inadequate. Do you understand the value of the governor of Jiangdong? "
"A TV station employee passed by and broke the news anonymously. Mr. Long Wu originally had a variety show in the Mainland, but he was notified yesterday that it was cancelled."
"Okay, okay, this time I have been kicked on the iron plate. ”
Beijing, the last project meeting before the launch of "Mermaid".
Including the crew and creators, as well as several investors.
Ren Zhonglun and Pei Kang were both busy and did not attend the meeting in person. Instead, they sent a deputy director from Shanghai Film and China Film to come over.
After explaining what needed to be explained, Zhou Xingxing shook hands with the two vice directors of China Film and Shanghai Film and Television, and came specifically to find Zhou Yutang and solemnly thanked him:
"Zhou Sheng, thank you for your help."
He is not a man of many words, but this sentence definitely comes from the heart and his tone is sincere.
“These are small things.”
“What may be a small thing to you is a big trouble to me.”
Zhou Xingxing smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He himself was obviously affected by the recent turmoil, although he asked his assistant to contact him and expressed his willingness to give in.
However, the other party persisted in insisting that he should communicate clearly and innocently to others within ten days.
How to explain this?
It’s not like he was looking for someone to leak dirty information. Now he is focusing all his energy on the "Mermaid" project. He is so busy thinking about the shooting methods and lenses that he has no time to do these things.
The fans who went to Weibo to complain were purely their own actions, and it was difficult for Zhou Xingxing to restrain them.
After being in the industry for so many years, Zhou Xingxing is very aware of how terrible public opinion is.
It is actually easier to make a person look bad than you think.
Do a good job in media public relations, report negative news every day, and never mention positive news. Over time, your reputation will naturally become bad.
If Zhou Yutang hadn't ended up, things would have probably developed in a direction that was not conducive to him.
Because his connections and energy are beyond his comparison.
Now Zhou Xingxing is very happy that he gave up part of his interests and brought Zhou Yutang into the game.
The energy of Jiangdong Governor’s internal entertainment is more powerful than he imagined.
"The matter has passed. The important thing is to get the project done well."
Zhou Yutang waved his hand, but didn't take it to heart: "I communicated with Director La and Director Ren. They thought so too.”
"It should, it should."
Zhou Xingxing's voice was filled with gratitude, his eyes swept over Lin Yun'er who was standing quietly beside Zhou Yutang, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes, and he praised:
"Miss Lin Yuner speaks Chinese very well."
"Thank you, director."
Lim Yoona is as polite and obedient as an innocent deer.
She also often surfs the Internet and knows what is happening in the Chinese entertainment industry recently.
From Zhou Xingxing's expression and a few words, you can feel the powerful energy of the man around you, which brings you a full sense of security.
Hey, don’t they all say that Zhou Xingxing has a very bad personality and low emotional intelligence?
Zhou Yutang felt that Zhou Xingxing was quite easy to talk to. Thinking that he was also a tyrant on the set when filming, he added one more sentence by the way:
"Director Zhou, when we were on the set, Yoona was like Please take more care of me.”
"No problem, I hope we can have a happy cooperation then."
Zhou Xingxing readily agreed.
After a few words of greeting, Zhou Yutang left with Lin Yuner.
It is easy to see from the bright smile on Lin Yoona's pointed cheeks that she is in a very happy mood at this time.
After Zhou Yutang reached a cooperation (poaching) agreement with S&M Company, Li Xiuman attached great importance to "Mermaid", a pie falling from the sky.
SNSD has reached this stage, and the girl group has come to an end. While maintaining team activities, it will pay more attention to the individual transformation and development of the members.
There are solo singers, variety show hosts, actors, and sunglasses sellers
Now Lin Yoona is the first actress of S&M Company, and won "Mermaid" ’s role, a big earthquake occurred in the entire Korean entertainment circle.
You know, Song Hye Kyo and Jun Ji Hyun also played supporting roles in the film project co-produced by the two countries.
The heroine of the 80 billion won big-budget production "Mermaid" is enough to skyrocket Lim Yoona's celebrity status.
S&M Company arranged many trips to China for her.
In the next year, the two people will have many opportunities to meet.
He immediately released Yoona's manager and got into the nanny car that came to pick her up. Zhou Yutang hooked Lin Yoona's slender waist and pulled her body into his arms.
"oppa, will you be there for the S&M Family Concert this year?"
"It depends. There may not be time. There are several award ceremonies coming soon. Attend.”
This year, the S&M family concert was held in China, and a fan meeting with Jessica was also arranged.
This is also the first time Jessica has held a fan meeting in her own name since her debut seven years ago.
To say that SNSD’s popularity is terrifying, 3,000 tickets were sold out immediately after the news was released. , and there are scalpers selling tickets.
In addition to team activities, Jessica will also serve as a designer for her personal brand. After talking about her schedule for a while, Lin Yoona suddenly became interested: "oppa, let's go watch a movie together, how about it?"
"What movie do you want to watch?"
""Heart Blossom Road", I heard that the box office of this movie invested by oppa exceeded 1 billion. It is really amazing."
Lin Yoona's clear deer eyes were full of admiration.
“.”
The expression of a handsome guy who watched it for the sixth time twitched slightly.
The box office revenue of "Beautiful Heart" was 1.002 billion in its 12 days of release.
The daily increase in box office inevitably shows a downward trend, which is also the law of the film market.
At this time, Chen Kexin's "Dear" had a box office of 158 million, and "The Golden Age" by another great Hong Kong director Xu An ended sadly with 39.6 million.
Ning Hao has been promoted to the director of the 1 billion club with his actual performance, and he is said to have unlimited success.
"Crazy Stone" had an investment of 3 million yuan and a box office of tens of millions. "Crazy Racing" also achieved rave reviews with its small scale.
"No Man's Land", which has been on hold for several years, cost 16 million yuan and also achieved a return rate of more than 10 times.
The total investment of the producer of this road comedy with no special effects scenes is only 60 million.
According to the estimates given by Maoyan Films, the target is at least 1.4 billion, and it is very likely to achieve a box office return rate of more than 20 times in the end.
Ning Hao gained both fame and fortune, and for Zhou Yutang, it was a lot of money.
His main income is not just from the box office revenue.
What is more important is to firmly grasp the upstream channels of the film industry chain.
Meituan Maoyan conducted exclusive pre-sales half a month in advance, through group buying of movie tickets, and contributed more than 500 million in box office, accounting for nearly 50% of the entire movie box office!
Maoyan Movies has developed into the largest movie ticket sales platform in China.
In the first half of this year alone, it contributed more than 3.5 billion yuan in box office. It is expected that the box office contribution for the whole year will exceed 8 billion, and may occupy more than 75% of the online ticket sales market.
The current Kodong Group has mastered the three key links of investment, production and distribution, which are like gears meshing with each other.
Of course they are not the only winners.
With a box office of over 1 billion, a movie like this can already be called an annual phenomenon.
Anyone who gets on the bus is a winner.
As one of the producers, Galloping Horse, with the release of "Heart Blossoms on the Road" and the private placement plan, its stock price has soared, rising 57% in half a month.
“Come on, come on, Yu Tang, have a drink, we won’t go home until we’re drunk tonight.”
Ning Hao, Xu Guangtou, and Huang Bo's creative team were still running road shows, and Li Dagou opened the champagne first at halftime.
It’s still the familiar Pony Club, with just a few familiar friends tonight.
During the banquet, the topic of the recent "rebellion" incident that has been causing a lot of fuss inevitably came up. Li Dagou said seriously: "Brother, if there is anything I can do to help, just tell me."
Li Dagou’s idea is very simple and pure.
He doesn’t care who is right or wrong, he just wants to be a helper and not helper.
Anyone who dares to touch Zhou Yutang will have trouble with him.
“Brother Dog, it’s not a big problem.”
Zhou Yutang felt a little touched.
This kind of friendship is probably only understood by men.
In fact, his appeal is very simple.
Don't block his way of making money, then everyone will be in peace.
Unless Chinese stars stop making money from the mainland in the future, they will just enjoy themselves in this three-acre land in Hong Kong.
Otherwise, if there are projects going to the mainland in the future, we must make clear arrangements for him.
The movies that China Star wants to appear in are either targeted by Kodong S+ project, or they are the vanguard in the fight against imported blockbusters time and time again.
Hearing that Ni Ni had criticized Mrs. Long Wu, Li Dagou gave a thumbs up, glanced at Zhou Yutang with ambiguous eyes that only men can understand, and said with a smile:
"Master Shao Liu used to have Fang Yihua next to him. I think your secretary is not simple."
"Brother Big Dog, don't be ridiculous, she and I are innocent."
"Ah, yes, yes, I believe you."
Li Dagou looked unbelieving and talked about another thing: "I heard that China Star is talking to Bona recently about launching "The List of Gods", with a total investment of 500 million, I invited Li Lianjie, and I will compete with "Mermaid" when the time comes. "Then let's see who is more capable."
Zhou Yutang only thought it was funny, so he mentioned Corona and clinked glasses with Big Dog.
Of course he has heard about the top projects in this circle.
Although Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie took the stage with his godson's coat of arms, which seemed to be quite popular, Zhou Yutang was relieved when he saw Yang Ying's name in the rumored actor list.
I heard that the film production team is still from Hong Kong.
Keep playing, keep dancing.
One step is slow, each step is slow.
There are many mountains in the domestic entertainment and film industry, but the cake is so big. There is no place for Chinese stars in domestic entertainment.
The head of China Star Entertainment once expressed goodwill for cooperation towards Zhou Yutang, but the basis for cooperation must be that both parties are at the same level and exchange resources and interests.
The only thing that Chinese stars can do is their connections in Hong Kong.
Zhou Yutang would not even look at it twice.
His partners in Xiangjiang, except Zou Wenhuai who made a big bet from the beginning, they can do the same, and they can bring out much more chips than him.
China Star is not without action.
After hitting the wall several times, he turned around and reached a cooperation with Moon Entertainment in Haojiang. By the way, he hooked up with Bona Yudong, who has always been close to the Hong Kong circle, and formed the current team of "Legend of the Gods". team.
After the Weibo account was blocked, it became a lot quieter.
Fatty Wang Jingwang, who had some friendship with Zhou Yutang in the past few days but not much, and Ren Dahua and Liu Qingyun, whom he had not contacted for a long time, suddenly called.
On the surface, it is to connect feelings, but in fact, it is to test the tone.
They wanted to settle this matter, but it was obviously not important enough. I don’t know how Long Wu invited Anle’s Jiang Zhihao to come forward one after another.
With no end in sight, Zhou Yutang followed the lead and said, "Since the two bosses have spoken and asked her to explain things clearly to others, let's let this matter go."
"Okay, let's do business together and make money by being harmonious."
"A-Tang, you have a great plan. I will ask you to review the script of "Cold War 2" another day."
Seeing that the first brother of the domestic entertainment industry is so generous, the two big bosses in the Hong Kong industry are also very generous. A sense of accomplishment.
Actually, Zhou Yutang really doesn’t have any old grudges. When he was filming in Xiangjiang, he met Long Wu at some cocktail parties.
I even dealt with Long Wu’s younger brother Asheng.
Now Long Wu's younger brother has esophageal cancer and is lying in Beijing Xiehe. The situation is not optimistic.
Zhou Yutang also didn’t want to get things done.
The arena is not about fighting and killing.
Jianghu is about human nature.
Netizens are still waiting for Mrs. Long Wu to continue her output.
Because when she first started firing, she issued an ultimatum, requiring Zhou Xingxing to explain clearly to others within 10 days, otherwise she would take action.
But after waiting for so many days, he didn't wait to take action. Instead, he issued a low-key apology statement, saying that the previous incident was purely a misunderstanding and that the black fans' rumors would be handed over to lawyers.
"That's it, that's it? Seriously, if you really haven't done anything wrong, are you afraid of being accused of being a member of society?"
"For the audience, the best person Product is to produce good works and not to make money from bad movies. I don’t spend money to go to the cinema to see their character.” The Governor dares to touch you. Jiangdong has invested over 100 million in this movie, and you are doing it at this time."
"Sister, why don't you stand still?"
"I have been honest, please let me go."
When Zhou Yutang attended an event recently, he was blocked by entertainment reporters and asked about it. He calmly responded:
"I just talked to Zhou Xingxing After the director's meeting, he is now busy with the final preparations before the filming of "Mermaid", ignoring the rumors outside. "
"He is such a person, focusing on making movies and creating"
“I also hope that everyone will pay more attention to the work itself.”
After Zhou Yutang's words, the celebrities who were originally vague about their attitude immediately expressed their opinions one after another.
“Master Xing has superb acting skills, but sometimes he is a tyrant on the set. This is normal. All those who make comedies do it with a straight face. If you want to make a comedy well, you must be serious. "
First of all, Fatty Wang Jingwang, who broke his leg in a fall, publicly expressed it in the "National Film" master class while leaning on crutches.
Then Zeng Zhiwei, who serves as the mentor of "Super Comedian" in the Mainland, also expressed his position in the interview: "Zhou Xingxing is not only an actor, he is actually a screenwriter and director. It is not easy to find someone with such three abilities. He is the representative of that era. I have never seen the second Zhou Xingxing.”
Fatty Zeng’s lower limit is even lower than Wang Jing’s, so I licked him hard: “But I have seen the second Zhou Xingxing. The representative is Director Zhou Yutang, I believe everyone is familiar with it
Needless to say, Zhou Sheng has done an impeccable job as a screenwriter, actor, and director. In my heart, he is even better than Zhou Xingxing, and he is a genius among geniuses."
Whichever way the wind blows, the grass will fall.
This farce of "Inverted Zhou" has come to an end.
People in the circle have realized Zhou Yutang's behavior. Powerful energy.
People are behind the scenes, not showing up,
Wen Muye's "Manslaughter" has finally been completed, and Guo Fan's "Now You See Me 2" has also reached the final stage.
The post-production special effects team has started working. As for the post-production work of "Qing Yu Nian 2", it has basically been completed, and the screening will be held this month.
Zhou Yutang’s Weibo has been maxed out by fans chasing the drama.
Even Zhou Ningfeng from Suzhou TV Station made a special call.
No way.
It’s not that “Divorce Lawyer” is not good.
The peak average ratings of Suzhou TV are as high as 1.57, and the ratings of Zhejiang Blueberry Channel are also 1.38. Considering the increasingly sluggish TV drama ratings today, it can already be regarded as a hit drama.
Brothers are really too strong.
In just 16 hours since the broadcast of the opposite station's "A Little Smile Is Charming", the number of views on Station B has exceeded 100 million, and the Baidu Index peaked at more than 1.8 million.
On the 5th day of the broadcast, the average ratings of the two channels exceeded 1.5, and the popularity continued to grow. Weibo, Tieba, major forums and Moments were all filled with discussions.
If we say "Heart Blossoms on the Road" is the well-deserved king of the National Day movie market.
Then "A Smile Is Beautiful" dominated the small screen during the National Day holiday with overwhelming force.
Modu TV and Mango TV, two of the three major TV stations in the country, are unrivaled in the lead among other TV stations in the country.
Whether it is the popularity list, the playback list, or the popularity list and other various lists.
Kill them all.
