Chapter 657: Smiling sweet girl Li Yitong gets excited when talking about girl groups
Zhou Yutang, who is still in his sage time, stubbornly looks up at the sky outside the car window at 45 degrees.
The actor-level acting skills ensured that the sparkling light in his eyes would not overflow. He sighed:
"The stock market fell a bit badly today."
"Oh, I watched the news."
She had never seen a man so depressed before, and Sister Yi's heart almost broke.
Holding Zhou Yutang's arm, Liu Shishi comforted her gently: "It's okay. Experts say it's just a technical adjustment and it will go up."
"Sister K and Xiao Jiang from our company And Daxi, they have also invested money in the stock market. I heard from Sister K that she even covered her position today. "
"."
There is really a national stock trading craze now.
On his way to the Magic City, Liu Shishi also saw the news that the index plummeted below 100.
As the industry leader in entertainment, Mingjie Company has better stock price stability than Huayi, but it has also been affected a lot.
I picked up the first sister and went to Tangren Company to report. Zhou Yutang also stopped by to chat with Cai Yinong about the promotional arrangements for "Wuxin Master",
"Chen Yao, I have communicated with Zeng Jia and will reserve a promotion schedule for next month.”
Lao Cai is very interested in this drama. This is the first cooperation between Tangren and a video platform. Tangren’s ace director. Li Guoli directed it himself.
The artist managers of Tang Dynasty are more brilliant than Hu Ge and Liu Shishi. Kung Fu boys Jiang Jingfu and Jin Daxi, who are carrying the banner for the first time, are the next generation of Tang Dynasty's key training targets selected by Cai Yinong.
After a simple meeting, Cai Yinong asked shamelessly: "Yu Tang, how about letting Jin Chen try out your company's "Ode to Joy"?"
< br>Some time ago, Jiangdong officially announced that "Ode to Joy" is an urban workplace drama. It has the word-of-mouth endorsement of Jiangdong Entertainment and the ratings guarantee of director Kong Sheng and Tsing Yi Empress Zeng Li.
Except for Jiangdong’s own Yang Zi, Meng Ziyi, and King Kaikai, the other characters have not yet been finalized.
There is a lot of room for operation.
It is said that those who are near the water first get the moon. Now it is rare that the real owner is right in front of you, so of course you have to seize the opportunity.
Zhou Yutang glanced at Liu Shishi, and the first sister shrugged cutely, with a helpless expression.
Lao Cai is like this.
In the past, in front of Zhou Yutang, I always played the role of a domineering strong woman.
Later I discovered that it felt better to lie down and hug Zhou Yutang’s thighs.
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said: "Sister Cai, you have to ask Director Kong about this. He is watching the casting. The competition is fierce."
"."
Cai Yinong's mouth After moving, he heard Zhou Yutang's polite refusal. His face remained as usual, and he warmly invited: "How about we have dinner together later?"
"Forget it, Director Ren has an appointment. "
Zhou Yutang looked at the time and said crisply: "Sister Cai, I will take Shi Shi there first."
Seeing the Governor and the First Sister getting into the car, Jin Daxi inevitably had a look of disappointment on his face.
This drama has confirmed the heroine of the Empress in Tsing Yi, and Yang Zi and Meng Ziyi have secured the other two starring seats.
There are two key female characters left.
The big names in the circle will definitely not play, and most of the top flowers are waiting and watching.
At their level, they will not accept such group scenes casually. The team must clearly define their roles to avoid being carried by others.
But like second- and third-tier female artists, they had no worries and directly launched a fierce charge.
During this period of time, female artists from various industries were often at odds with each other, and there was a bloody storm on Weibo.
When the news came out today that you were going to Jiangdong to audition for a show, there was going to be a blackmail about you right away, for fear that your competitors would take over.
After leaving Tangren, there was still some time before dinner, Zhou Yutang took Liu Shishi to watch Dong Xiaopeng's "Pancake Man".
During the Shanghai International Film Festival, many movies were screened. I heard Shi Shi say while talking on the phone a few days ago that he was very interested in this movie starring Damimi and participating in it.
After reading it, I suddenly felt uninterested.
Liu Shishi remembered that Zhou Yutang seemed to have said that the current movies with the word "xia" in the Chinese film industry are all bad movies without exception.
Da Mimi is not at the scene today. She has to support a certain brand, and Tang Yan also has a variety show to record.
On the way to the hotel, Zhou Yutang was chatting with Liu Shi when he received a message from Ni Ni,
"Boss, the progress report on the preparation of the "Ode to Joy" project has been prepared."
"Let me take a look."
Zhou Yutang took the tablet and clicked on the file.
It was right to leave the project to Kong Sheng, but he was the one who made the final decision.
Today I just felt that Jin Daxi was not suitable and found an excuse to shirk it.
Kong Sheng's projects are smooth and smooth, with no surprises, and the same goes for casting.
Teacher Zu Feng plays the role of a self-made man, forcing Wang Jindong to be the business tycoon Tan Zongming
For the role of Qu Xiaoxiao, famous florets such as Wang Luodan, Yao Di and Li Xiaolu also came to try out. There was a lot of drama, but in the end it was Zhou Shufang who successfully managed to push Meng Ziyi, the most beautiful school belle under her, to the top.
Zhou Yutang took a look.
The character setting of Qu Xiaoxiao is an eccentric rich girl.
Meng Ziyi's family situation is good, and she does look a bit squeamish like a young lady, but it's quite appropriate.
After receiving basic acting training from Nortel and taking acting classes from teacher Liu Tianchi at Shanxia Academy, I left it to Kong Sheng to teach me, so there was no big problem.
Another important female character, Fan Shengmei, also attracted a lot of competition from big stars, but in the end Jiang Xin stood out.
Jiang Xin has just collaborated with Jiang Dong in "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", so when it comes to her acting skills, she has no problem.
As for Guan Ju'er, the competition is fierce and has always been unresolved.
"Zhang Jiani, Zhang Xinyu, Wang Likun, Yang Zishan, Wang Ziwen"
"Boss, there is news from Tang Lijun."
Liu Shishi also leaned against Zhou Yutang and watched with him, making comments from time to time. Ni Ni said: "Shangshi Pictures wants to recommend a new person. . ”
She also has her own connections. Tang Lijun is well-rounded and has already added Ni Ni’s contact information.
For such small matters, Tang Lijun would definitely not approach Zhou Yutang, but would deal with Ni Ni directly.
“Which character?”
"The character Guan Ju'er."
"It's actually her?"
Seeing the familiar faces on the list compiled by Ni Ni, Zhou Yutang was a little stunned, and then laughed. :
"Go and inform Director Kong. If there is no problem, let's make the decision."
In fact, a good girl from a well-off family like Guan Ju'er can also be played by her own Li Yao.
But as the most popular Kodong Xiaohua, this role does not add much to her.
Li Yao himself has a lot of business announcements, and he also has another drama, which is basically not scheduled for the second half of the year.
It's better to be a favor, since smg is his ally anyway, not to mention that the girl he wants to recommend is also very pleasing to Zhou Yutang.
"Dear, do you know him?"
Listening to Zhou Yutang's tone, it sounded like he knew her, but not very well. Liu Shishi glanced at the photo.
At first glance, this girl looks like South Korea’s Son Ye Jin when she smiles.
The eyes are curved like crescent moons, giving people a very sweet feeling.
She didn't remember this person in the circle, and was a little curious.
Ni Ni was sending messages to Kong Sheng’s team to communicate, and she also suspected that there was something fishy that she didn’t know about.
The most likely possibility is that this female artist named Li Yitong is having an affair with the boss.
After racking his brains, Ni Ni couldn't figure it out. He stayed with Zhou Yutang all day long and didn't see him go out to eat.
Perhaps she had already gotten along with him before she did.
Zhou Yutang, who didn’t know what was going on in Ni Ni’s mind, smiled softly at Liu Shishi:
“Last year, “Heart Blossoms on the Road” was performed at Beiwu Road, and this girl is you Ni Ni, the junior sister in Beiwu, should remember her.”
“I have some impression, but I can’t remember clearly.”
"At that time, her name was Li Xue, and she was accompanied by so-and-so. Unexpectedly, now that she has made her debut, she has changed her stage name to Li Yitong, which really sounds much better."
"."
< br>Ni Ni's expression twitched as Zhou Yutang recounted his treasures.
I ran dozens of roadshows last year, but I remembered them this time.
You also said you are face blind?
"Director Zhou, are you here?"
Walking into the private room of the Peace Hotel, Zhou Yutang was a little surprised to see the iconic Zhou Xingxing with silver-gray hair, and Liu Shishi was also slightly startled.
Ren Zhonglun was not surprised that the woman next to Zhou Yutang was changed to Liu Shishi.
Everyone in the circle knows that the governor of Jiangdong has a lot of money and power, is surrounded by beauties, and is most romantic and proud.
He had met Liu Shishi several times, and smiled and asked her to sit down, "Shi Shi, this is Ye Ning from Wanda, Mr. Ye, Mr. Xu, no need to introduce more, right?"
"Director Ren, Director Zhou, Mr. Ye, Mr. Xu... hello."
Liu Shishi's manners were always impeccable. He greeted them one by one and sat down next to Zhou Yutang.
Xu Tianfu, that little fat guy with a friendly face, is certainly no stranger to Liu Shishi. He just came back from filming in Hengdian.
"Hello, Zhou Sheng, Shi Shi."
Zhou Xingxing also smiled and nodded at her as a greeting.
The special effects of "Mermaid" were produced by Vision Media. According to the current progress, the production will be completed by September at the latest.
The target was the Lunar New Year show. Zhou Yutang was talking to him about the post-production special effects of "Mermaid". Unexpectedly, Zhou Xingxing would not take the usual path.
The conversation changed and he talked about another thing: "Zhou Sheng, we had a great time cooperating on "The Mermaid". We can definitely bring this cooperation model to the next project, such as "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" 2》.”
“Director Zhou, are you serious?”
Zhou Yutang put down his chopsticks with a playful smile on his face.
"Really."
Zhou Xingxing said slowly: "This time, it's not just me who has this idea. Director Ren and Director La also think so. Mr. Ma of Ali is very sincere. "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" The project cost budget for "Part 2" starts at 500 million, and can be increased later."
"That's really generous."
Zhou Yutang chuckled, and even Liu Shishi was surprised. His attention was drawn, and he listened quietly to the two people talking.
A few years ago, a movie with an investment of 100 million was already considered a large-scale production.
If it invests 200 million, the entire entertainment industry will be shocked.
Now that capital is pouring into the film and television industry, the threshold for blockbusters has also been raised. Only movies with a production cost of more than 200 million dare to be called blockbusters.
Investments of three to four billion are not uncommon.
“For the preliminary plan made by the Alibaba team, I will be the producer, and you will direct and star, as well as serve as the chief screenwriter and art director...
At that time, everything about the movie shooting will be between the two of us. Whether it is Mr. Ma, Director La, or Director Ren, they will not interfere with the filming process..."
Zhou Xingxing tossed out piece after piece of sweet and delicious pie.
The richest man in China is indeed ambitious enough. If this game is really formed for him, it can really be the first shot of Ali's entry into entertainment.
However, Zhou Yutang remained unmoved.
He has his own goals and rhythm in doing things.
Despite repeated attempts by Ren Zhonglun and Xu Tianfu to persuade each other, the cooperation could not be concluded in the end. After standing up to say goodbye, Ye Ning quickly chased after him. Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and seemed to hesitate to speak when he saw him, and asked:
"Mr. Ye, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing."
Ye Ning took the initiative to step forward, smiled and hugged Zhou Yutang: "How much cooperation do you have? It’s been a long time since we got along, and I wish you all the best in the future.”
“I also wish you all the best.”
Zhou Yutang's expression remained unchanged, and he just looked at him thoughtfully.
"Dear, you actually refused?"
Liu Shishi blurted out as Zhou Yutang came out of the Peace Hotel.
Zhou Xingxing’s suggestions were followed by Ren Zhonglun’s frantic painting of cakes, and Xu Tianfu was also adding fuel to the fire.
With the foundation laid by the first "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", if the lineup and plot of the sequel movie are above the standard, it will basically not be lower than the previous movie, and there is even hope of being a big hit.
The key is Alibaba's method of increasing money. The series of conditions and the various overt and covert remunerations given to Zhou Yutang can basically match the US$20 million of the top Hollywood celebrities.
This does not include the subsequent box office share. In order to invite a domestic entertainment brother to come out, the sincerity is full.
To be honest, Liu Shishi was a little moved.
Zhou Yutang said in a leisurely manner: "If you are interested, I can recommend you to go."
"Huh, he won't give me so much money."
< br>
Liu Shishi rolled his eyes and said arrogantly.
The first sister is usually quite calm when things happen, but she is also quite cute when she is obsessed with money.
Zhou Yutang gently combed Liu Shishi's smooth hair with his fingers and talked with her about this year's work schedule.
Liu Shishi has Tang Dynasty's own spy drama, and he will join the cast after the promotion of "The Tuner" is over.
The completion of the "Celebrating More Than Years" series has put an end to Zhou Yutang's worries. He has not forgotten to pay attention to the preparation progress of "Detective Chinatown".
By the time the Shanghai Film Festival comes to an end, we can almost start working on this project.
Thousands of lights light up the night of the Magic City.
Just like stars falling into the world, lighting up a corner of this city that never sleeps.
Wearing a tight-fitting sportswear that highlighted her graceful curves, Li Yitong had just finished sweating in the gym.
I received a notification from my assistant.
Li Yitong was drinking water and almost choked. She didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. She even asked blankly: "Is it really over?" "Sister Yitong, I've booked you for the second half of the year!"
Li Yitong's assistant is also from Shandong Province. She speaks urgently and quickly, and her local accent is unconsciously used. You can feel her voice through the screen. Joy:
"Sister Yitong, what are you doing?"
"I just finished exercising."
"Oh, congratulations, you are going to be popular."
The assistant was very happy: "I heard that there is a boss of Harbin Real Estate who is doing everything possible to find connections to help his daughter run this The role."
"Is there such a thing?"
"It is being spread among the agents, saying that as long as the role is in place, the price will be whatever Jiangdong wants. Well, he’s just so willful.”
The assistant couldn’t stop talking.
She now had reason to suspect that she, a fellow from Lu Province, might be the legendary daughter of destiny.
After debuting as an amateur, he just signed a contract with Shangshi Pictures, and he got such a magical piece of cake.
To know.
That was a new drama from Jiangdong Entertainment, and it had a very important female lead.
How many little flowers in the circle are tearing this cake apart.
Li Yitong has always felt a bit unreal, like a dream, but he was in a great mood to win this role. His smile turned into a crescent moon:
“Mengmeng, I’ll treat you to a barbecue tomorrow. ! ”
“Wow, thank you Sister Yitong!”
……
“It is controlled by Jiangdong Entertainment, co-produced by Noon Sunshine, directed by Kong Sheng, and directed by Zhou Yutang. The producer's "Ode to Joy" is in preparation. The drama will use a realistic style to tell stories about friendship, love, family, workplace and ideals. ”
"The five main actresses in the drama were announced first, Zeng Li, Jiang Xin, Yang Zi, Meng Ziyi, and Li Yitong"
The sudden news caused an uproar in the TV drama circle.
It’s understandable that the empress in green from Jiangdong would bring a new member of her family, but this sudden appearance of Li Yitong left many people confused.
After debuting as an amateur, she immediately became the female lead in Koto’s new drama.
Just this huge wave of traffic directly led Li Yitong to the hot search on Weibo, which was enough to make her a high-profile newcomer in the circle.
Many female artists envy this lucky girl.
What’s more, people are already speculating on online forums whether this is the new love of Governor Jiangdong.
For such a small role, it is of no importance to Zhou Yutang.
He liked this girl who had a friendly smile, and Tang Lijun was basically scheduled to take over from Lidya Su.
Mingjie has a close relationship with SMG and may have several important projects to cooperate with in the future.
The Magic City International Film Festival is in full swing here, bringing together the elites of the entire Chinese film and television industry.
Brother Dong over there made the headlines again.
The media had previously paid considerable attention to his relationship with milk tea.
Some black men caught Brother Dong spreading rumors like crazy.
The purpose of saying that Brother Dong is with milk tea is to consume the fame of milk tea and hype up the topic of Jingdong's listing.
What else is there about the fall of Jinling’s first brother, and the milk tea daddy is involved in it?
All kinds of outrageous rumors are rampant.
As a result, Dong Ge was so angry about milk tea that he took the guy who spread rumors about milk tea to court.
Zhou Yutang also paid attention to this matter.
Finally, it was discovered that the initiator of the incident turned out to be an economics lecturer at a certain university.
The awards ceremony of "Jackie Chan Action Movie Week" was held as scheduled. Accompanying Zhou Yutang was Liu Shishi.
This is a new unit module of the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival. It may not be very valuable, but mosquito legs are also meat.
Last year, "Wolf Warrior" produced by Jiangdong Entertainment won the Best Action Film Award and the Best Fight Scene Design Award.
Wu Jing also won the Best Action Actor Award.
Excluding Wu Jing, the only action stars in mainland China who can fight are Zhang Jing and Wang Baohao.
There is also Xie Miao, who has just signed with Jiangdong. Although he has a good foundation in kung fu, he is an unknown and transparent person.
Wang Baoyu's crazy martial arts idiot Feng Yuxiu in "One Man's Martial Arts" also won the award for Best New Action Actor tonight.
Looking at Wang Baocheng, whose legs and feet were still not very sharp, Zhou Yutang felt somewhat worried: "Baocheng, how is your body recovering?"
The preparations for the "Tang Detective" project have been advanced to the end. At this stage, filming will most likely start in July. If Wang Bao's physical condition does not allow filming, then there will be some trouble.
“It’s just a minor injury!”
Wang Baorong had a simple and bright smile on his face: "I have no problem."
In order to prove himself, he still jumped on the spot twice, making Zhou Yutang a little dumbfounded, and quickly grabbed him: "Take good care of your body, next time Let’s go to Tyrande together.”
Originally, many investors were still expecting Big A to bottom out and complete its counterattack.
In the end, it is just a dream.
Since the 15th, the trend has plummeted, making the entire social atmosphere very depressed.
Tonight is the awards ceremony for the Magic City International Film Festival and the Movie Channel Media Awards module. The industry-focused director Kai Ge arrived at the venue the day before the closing ceremony.
The big Sino-US co-production project "The Great Wall" is undoubtedly the key to Chen Kaige's restoration of the prestige of the great director.
But for the current film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" which is scheduled for the summer season, Chen Hong worked hard to promote it for several days in a row. Poet Chen took two days from the crew to rush over.
It was very Obviously, he also has great expectations for the box office.
He wants both fish and bear's paws.
Before the award ceremony began, many reporters gathered around Poet Chen and asked about the progress of "The Great Wall", which was really lively.
"Who is the kid next to Chen Hong?"
Liu Shishi asked softly in her ear, and Zhou Yutang answered her question: "The youngest son of director Chen's family."< br>
Today, Chen Kaige and his wife brought Arthur over.
Zhou Yutang had met Arthur a few years ago.
Poet Chen was probably deliberately preparing to pave the way for him to enter the industry. After the interview, he came over with Chen Hong and his son to say hello.
After the simple greetings, Brother Chen Kai was a bit like a feudal patriarch and said with a stern face: "Arthur, why are you so rude?"
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
After this order, Arthur came forward to say hello very humbly.
Brother Chen Kai kindly invited Zhou Yutang to visit the Great Wall crew. Chen Hong and Liu Shishi said a few polite words, turned around and said with a smile:
"Yu Tang, the premiere of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" is scheduled for the 2nd of next month. Brother Kai and I are looking forward to you coming."
"Sister Hong, if you are free then, I will definitely be there.”
Zhou Yutang didn’t shirk.
Nothing else, he also wants to have fun live.
Poet Chen used his connections to retain Prince Long's role in "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" and wait for the boomerang
The award ceremony is going on on stage.
Next week, Yu Tang and Sohu’s boss Zhang were chatting in the front row.
Reyiza, who won the Best Actress tonight, stood on the stage with an emotional expression: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, and thank you to the director. Winning the award is a great affirmation for me. , I will continue to work hard..."
Reyiza was visibly happy.
The acting path she took under the arrangement of the company was really a step-by-step, down-to-earth way to get here.
In terms of traffic and topics, she is definitely not as good as those top buds, but when it comes to acting, she is recognized as the top in the industry.
Happy to be happy, from Zhou Yutang's point of view, the gold content of this unit module is very average.
Sister Hua’s son won the Best Actor Award when he debuted, and that’s where he got his career.
Last year Guo Xiaosi also won the Best New Director for "Tiny Times".
Tonight, Dong Xiaopeng also won the Best New Director Award and the Best New Actor Award for "Pancake Man".
However, it is better to receive a prize than to return empty-handed. Reyza's future achievements will definitely not stop there.
The biggest winner tonight is "Twelve Citizens", which won four awards.
The award-winning speech was still being delivered on the stage. The live camera was focused on Jiangdong Governor and Sohu Boss Zhang. The two were chatting animatedly.
“I heard that Mr. Zhou had a girl. The group seems to be very popular recently?”
“It’s just starting out and there’s still a lot of room for improvement.”
Boss Zhang doesn't care about film awards, but he is very interested in the Jiangdong girl group.
Speaking of this, Zhou Yutang got excited.
