Chapter 678: The Governor who has both sides, the Machiavellian drama became a blockbuster
“Mr. Zhang, what do you think?”
“It’s a pity that we didn’t talk about Yu Tang next week.”
“My side According to the news, he has a movie to be released in the second half of the year, and he even has projects in Hollywood."
Ke Liming pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and analyzed: "Jiangdong has a few more movies. Movies, including Zhang Yimou’s movie projects, but at least he has relented, and there should be no problem with the movie copyright.”
"It's just that the price is a bit expensive."
"It's expensive for a reason."
"We might as well ask professionals for their opinions."
The dinner ended, Ke Li Ming and Zhang Qiang had a private gathering in the club, and their eyes turned to the other person at the table:
"Director Zhang, what do you think?"
This man has a crew cut, a shiny forehead, and a slightly rough face under a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looks like middle-aged Zhang Chenyue, and has a big beard.
It is Zhang Yibai, a famous director in Beijing circles.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ke, it's best if Zhou Yutang joins the game. It doesn't hurt."
Zhang Yibai smiled slightly and said, "Ali and Ruyi have joined forces, plus you have This super IP is completely important.”
“Could it be that we can’t have fun without Zhou Yutang?”
"We can definitely spend a lot of money to hire a top-notch creative team in Hollywood, carefully produce it, and make an epic fairy tale blockbuster!"
"Jiangdong Entertainment estimates that it will make a TV series version next year, and we can just take advantage of this wave of success."< br>
The next day, early morning.
With the warm sunlight filtering through the curtains, I looked at the beauty who was sleeping next to Begonia.
At this time, without any makeup, it is different from the impactful beauty in front of the camera.
Just like hibiscus emerges from clear water, it naturally removes the carvings.
Liu Yifei was wrapped in a thin silk quilt, and the green silk was scattered on the pillow like splashed ink.
I don’t know what kind of sweet dream I had, and my long eyelashes were trembling slightly.
We went to the fairyland together last night until half past two o'clock.
Miss Liu needs to catch up on her sleep, and she will probably sleep until noon.
Zhou Yutang, however, has an astonishing physique and high energy. Four or five hours of sleep is enough to keep him full of energy.
After washing up, I went to the gym as usual, wearing headphones and listening to Ni Ni’s itinerary report.
“The web game of “Nirvana in Fire” has been completed. As for the game of “Flower Thousand Bones” The mobile game, Xingchen, is still under development. There will be a video conference at the company in the morning..."
"La Pei Kang from China Film Group and Ren Zhonglun from the Film Group are coming to discuss the share. "
“Then it’s the post-film period, and we have an exclusive interview scheduled in the afternoon, which will be held at the company.”
Ni Ni was as rigorous as ever and managed her time in an orderly manner. Zhou Yutang had a casual chat with her.
Then I took a shower. When I returned to my room, I suddenly received a message.
Ke Liming, who had just met at the dinner party last night, was probably not sure whether he would disturb Zhou Yutang.
I didn’t call, I sent a message explaining my intention.
He is very interested in Zhou Yutang's share of the "Meg" movie project.
After communicating for a while, we made an appointment to meet at the company.
Looking back, I happened to see Liu Yifei stretching.
A pair of snowy lotus arms poked out from the silk quilt, and it seemed that the whole room became brighter.
A meaningful smile gradually appeared on the corners of Zhou Yutang's mouth.
The boss of Ruyi Pictures is smarter than he imagined.
As expected of someone who came from an investment bank, he is a very good person.
In the past, Zhou Yutang always used his own money to do his own projects.
Slowly and steadily, we have just conquered the current huge country in Jiangdong.
It’s just that times are changing, and so is his gameplay.
With his fame in the film and television industry, it can be said that he is at the peak of his popularity.
Climb high and shout, and followers will gather.
For major Sino-US co-production projects like "The Meg", Zhou Yutang holds 60% of the share.
The female celebrities in the circle are staring at the heroine, and they all want to be on top.
But there are also people who are interested in the influence brought by the entire Sino-US co-production project and want to jump in.
"What day is it today? Why did the leaders of Shanghai Film and China Film Group leave, and the boss of Ruyi Pictures is here again?"
Mao Xiaoyu didn't have much at hand, so he went up to the ninth floor to chat with Ni Ni. As a result, he saw several big names in the industry entering and leaving the chairman's office one after another.
Ni Ni crossed her legs gracefully, picked up the coffee, and took a sip: "The boss has a project to discuss."
"The 30% share in my hand will not move, China Film will keep up. Each film will be worth 110 million, and each will get a 10% share."
"Ke Liming of Ruyi Pictures wants 130 million."
< br>“.”
Ni Ni suddenly admired his boss.
It is equivalent to doing nothing, changing hands at a premium, and earning tens of millions.
The key is to play a bright card and make sure that no one feels that they have lost money.
She received them personally and watched Pei Kang and Ren Zhonglun come out with happy faces. When she saw Ke Liming coming out, she was also overjoyed.
After rubbing Zhou Yutang’s shoulders, Ni Ni couldn’t help but ask,
"Boss, why did Ke Liming pay such a premium to acquire the share? Didn't he already have the Journey to the West project in hand, and he wanted to buy the copyright of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" from Ali?"
"Then you have to ask. "
The female secretary's technique was just right, and there was a sweet fragrance coming from the back of her head. It was inexplicably comfortable. Zhou Yutang chuckled and said:
"Which company is talking to Ke Liming? Is Ruyi talking about share acquisition? ”
“Last year, China National Technology Holdings wanted to acquire Ruyi with a valuation of 1.5 billion yuan. This year, it seems that Tianshen Entertainment is also interested in Ruyi Pictures.”
< br>
Ni Ni's mind changed slightly and she reacted quickly.
As Zhou Yutang’s secretary, you not only have to help arrange his schedule, but you also have to have a certain sensitivity to the entire industry.
“Haha, he is a rare smart man. The more chips Ruyi Pictures has, the value it will produce on this plate is hard to say.”
“ By the way, you go contact Zou Zhongyan and confirm the director and actor. Then Warner will jointly issue a notice." It’s been two days”
Stepping on high heels to complete the tasks assigned by Zhou Yutang, while standing at the elevator entrance on the ninth floor waiting for the elevator, Ni Ni suddenly remembered what Zhou Yutang said to her,
"Unequal transactions , to achieve a win-win situation.”
In mid-September, the person in charge of South Korea’s Showbox came to Jiangdong Entertainment.
The conversation was about the release of "Now You See Me 2" in South Korea, and incidentally the release of the South Korean film "Assassination" produced by Showbox in China.
This movie is directed by Choi Dong-hoon, the director of the "Seoul Heist" and "Lady" series. Jun Ji-hyun, Ha Jung-woo, and Lee Jung-jae form a super luxurious lineup.
It tells the story of the assassination of pro-Japanese faction by the Korean Independence Army in the Magic City in the 1930s.
I filmed in Shanghai last year and it was very popular.
Zhou Yutang heard Yoona talk about this movie. After it was released in South Korea this year, the number of moviegoers exceeded 10 million, leading the annual box office list, and even breaking into the top ten of the South Korean box office list.
If you want to come to China to beg for food, you also know that you have to go to the dock of the Grand Governor.
“The movie is scheduled to be released on the 24th. Director Choi Dong-hoon and starring Lee Jung-jae, Ha Jung-woo, and Jun Ji-hyun will fly to China to participate in the promotional activities of "Assassination" in China. Please take care of it!"
"My schedule is up, and I will ask Mr. Jiangdong Li to attend the media conference."
"Thank you very much, Chairman Zhou!"
The person in charge of Show Box is very A ninety-degree bow with the spirit of a craftsman.
"Haha, you're welcome, the National Day period is a very good period."
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Waiting for "Assassination" will be "囧" scheduled for the 25th, and "Now You See Me 2" scheduled for the 27th.
The National Day period is certainly one of the best periods in China.
But it also depends on whether you are strong enough to eat this cake.
"Breaking news! Jiangdong Entertainment and Alibaba Pictures have reached an agreement on the copyright transaction of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", and the final price may break the copyright transaction record in the industry!"
"Alibaba Pictures The official spokesperson of the industry stated: "The No. 1 Fantasy Love IP" will be on the big screen! ”
"The super IP movie has started, who is Bai Qian and Ye Hua in your mind?"
Brother Qiang is very resolute in his work. After the dinner, Alibaba's team quickly entered the Jiangdong Entertainment Building to negotiate for the copyright takeover.
Zhou Yutang nodded and signed the contract within two days.
I bought the movie rights at a sky-high price of 80 million. It was very refreshing to make money. The first remittance of 20 million has already arrived.
The rest will be paid in batches, and the draft prepared by Ali in advance will be released simultaneously.
The topic about "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" quickly occupied forums and Weibo hot searches.
Tangren Film and Television’s Cai Yinong was on the set of "Yun Zhi Fan" and made a special call to inquire.
She has long been coveting the film and television rights to "Three Lives Three Worlds".
Just hearing Zhou Yutang talk about Jiangdong’s expected price for the copyright, the little fire in Lao Cai’s heart was extinguished.
Last year, the entire company was supported by one brother and one sister, and the total profit of Tangren Film and Television was just over 80 million.
This year, the online drama cooperating with Bilibili became a hit, and it is expected that the profit will exceed 100 million.
She is a conservative type and can accept a copyright price of several million at most. It is impossible for Tangren to bet all its annual profits on one project.
Lao Cai was short of money and could only live with his eyesight, but Ali had no worries.
Teacher Ma said that Alibaba will be the leader in the entertainment industry.
Then you must run a big project. "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has been a hot seller since its online serialization in 2008 and has countless loyal fans.
So far, the cumulative sales of various versions of physical books have exceeded 2 million copies.
Even the English version ranks among the top sales of Chinese novels on Amazon’s official website.
Baidu searches exceed 200 million!
Big data deduction has yielded this result, so Alibaba wants to acquire this truly No. 1 fantasy love IP at all costs.
Don’t buy the right one, only buy the expensive one.
This is the charm of Alibaba Entertainment.
No matter domestic or foreign.
Everyone seems to be paying attention to how much money celebrities in the entertainment industry make.
In late September, this year’s ranking of the world’s highest paid female stars was released.
Oscar-winning actress and cousin Jennifer Lawrence, with a pre-tax income of US$52 million this year, topped the list and topped the crowd.
Scarlett Johansson, the Black Widow, follows closely behind, earning a crazy $35.5 million this year, and is equally hot.
But the surprising thing is.
Teacher Fan in China has reached the top spot with an income of US$23 million.
"Binbin is mighty. According to the current exchange rate, the total is 147 million yuan!"
"Are you kidding? How come Jin Suo, a carpet star, earns so much?"
"You don't understand this. Teacher Fan can't just be regarded as a female star now. She is a wealthy person herself." "Sister, I don't want to work hard anymore."
"."
As soon as this list came out, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.
The fans at Teacher Fan’s house were elated.
For fans, self-imposed income is also a great tool to attract fans.
Her fans are extremely active, such as Sister Lotus, International Chapter, Xu Jinglei and other rivals, their commercial value is incomparable to Teacher Fan.
But except for the outstanding teacher Fan.
The ability of female artists from the Koto genre to attract money is also terrifying.
The Tsing Yi Empress Zeng Li looked low-key, but she didn’t expect to be ranked in the top ten.
In addition to the first-level salary, brand endorsements account for the majority of income.
In Bawuhua, the most profitable ones are not Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi.
But Yang Mi.
Some enthusiastic netizens have compiled a table of several business endorsements and announcements.
Finally, we came to the conclusion: In terms of net worth alone, Yang Mi is actually not as good as Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi.
But in terms of quantity, she has more than the two Lius combined.
This year alone.
Da Mimi has appeared in a total of 11 film and television works and has received 13 endorsements.
This list only counts the commercial value of celebrities, excluding some investment income and opaque stock market operations.
Someone who is interested dug out the financial report released by Sohu. The summer release "Pancake Man", which is controlled by the producer, was a box office hit. Damimi brought the capital to join the group, which roughly deduced the box office split she could get.
Then, some fans continued to dig deeper and saw Zhou Yutang's name in the column of Mihang shareholders.
“Damn it, he is actually a shareholder of Mi Xing Company? Is it true that Mi Mi is working for the Governor?”
“Zhou Yutang, you have arranged so many trips for Sister Mi. It’s really cool. Unscrupulous capitalist."
"Tsk, it turns out that Zhou Yutang is behind the scenes, no wonder Mihang's financing went smoothly."
There are a lot of discussions on the Internet, and there are all kinds of things.
Reminiscent of the recent actions of Mihang Company, I suspect that the Governor is the man behind Da Mimi.
Zeng Jia said with emotion: "Boss Zhou just mentioned something and we made more money than the company had been running for a year."
Some people are really like gods. , not on the same level at all.
"Mimi, have you been in contact with him recently?"
"We chat occasionally, he just came back from abroad, and he has to do the post-production of the film, he is very busy."
< br>
As Yang Mi spoke, she selected a good-looking photo from the dozens of photos taken by her assistant.
Edit Weibo and click Send.
In fact, netizens really wronged Zhou Yutang.
He didn’t quite like the Mi Xing stall.
As for Jiangdong's own film and television dramas, the income from any one of them can be worth the efforts of Mihang Company for a year.
There is also the Lunar New Year hit "Detective Chinatown". There are as many as 18 advertising brands that have been negotiated. The revenue from this alone has more than a small target.
Zhou Yutang now wants to run film and television projects, and some people will pay for him.
If Jiangdong Entertainment is a multinational entertainment group, Mihang Company is like a self-employed individual.
Relying on Damimi’s hard work and ability, she has carved her way in the film and television industry.
The details of the financing contract have basically been determined and will only be announced next month. People are in high spirits during happy events. Damimi posted a birthday selfie on Weibo and thanked fans for their blessings and support along the way.
The private photos sent to Zhou Yutang were even more provocative.
After all, the treatment of the top brother is different from that of ordinary fans.
She probably wore a new look for "Dear Translator", a black Valentino shirt with all the buttons open.
Half-covered and half-covered, the full arc-shaped lines are like a dream, making people want to immerse themselves in it and not want to wake up.
Coupled with the piercing eyes and the gentle bite of the red lips, it is enough to reverse the charm of all living beings. Even Zhou Yutang had to sigh, this fairy is really seductive.
"Sister Mi, please take it easy. Fans have all left messages on my Weibo, asking me to stop arranging so much work for you."
Zhou Yutang sent her a message.
Da Mimi’s itinerary is not a secret.
The company team will disclose most of Damimi’s itinerary.
She only sleeps three or four hours a day. She is either catching up on announcements or on her way to make them.
A spelling that runs through Damimi’s life.
"Leave them alone."
Da Mimi felt warm in her heart: "I'll take care of Chen Yao, just wait until she gets up."
Fans think it's hard work , but for Da Mimi, it is also as sweet as sugar.
Her life.
The most important step has been taken, and I am finally qualified to sit on the capital table.
She was one step closer to the top of the mountain.
Late September.
Chief Jia confirmed that "Old Friends in Mountains and Rivers" will apply for Oscars next year.
The Bay Area is Hou Xiaoxian's "The Assassin Nie Yinniang".
Freshmen from art colleges return from military training and are said to be full of pure beauties with high-definition looks.
Zhou Yutang took a look and was disappointed.
The one that catches my eyes the most is Princess Beibei in "Balala Little Demon Fairy".
That little girl Zhou Ye was preparing for Nortel’s art exam, and she even posted on Moments to cheer herself up.
Zhou Yutang gave her a like.
The October Culture team, headed by Liu Wei and Tian Xiaopeng, visited the post-production of "Detective Chinatown".
It was dinner time, so Zhou Yutang invited them to have a light meal together in the company canteen.
Compared with the past, the October Culture team, which has become famous in one battle, has more of the temperament of an elite soldier.
This has been the case since ancient times. Elites are not achieved overnight. They can only be promoted through bloody battles.
To put it bluntly, the "Monkey King" project was a success, and now they are all worth at least one million. Once they have money, they will look at the world from a different perspective.
"Mr. Zhou!"
"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"
However, the backbone of this elite team still remained respectful to Zhou Yutang. When they saw Zhou Yutang and Liu Wei walking into the small box together, They all stood up.
"You're welcome, please sit down."
"I'll just deal with it at noon today, and I'll continue to work on post-production in the afternoon."
Twice-cooked pork, stir-fried liver and kidneys, mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, and seven or eight other home-cooked side dishes.
Everyone feasted and had a great time.
Since the private kitchen dinner in the courtyard that day, Zhou Yutang has been loving the taste of Sichuan cuisine recently.
The veteran Sichuan cuisine master is already very old and it is a favor to cook in person, but his protégé was invited over by Qiang Neng.
Compared to the master, the apprentice can be said to be better than the master.
After feeling his stomach warm and comfortable, Zhou Yutang stopped his chopsticks and asked with interest: "I heard that you have a new animated film project?"
"The planning document has been prepared."< br>
Director Tian Xiaopeng handed the document over with both hands and explained: "Mr. Zhou, this is a story I had a long time ago."
"Your previous Weibo name was ' Stranger from the Deep Sea."
Zhou Yutang looked at the document in his hand and saw the two characters "Deep Sea", and couldn't help but joked: "It can be seen that it is true love."
"It's a bit of an obsession, but the script is not perfect yet."
Tian Xiaopeng and the people in the October team all chuckled, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
While chatting and reading, Zhou Yutang asked a few questions. After about half an hour, he closed the document:
"I don’t have any problems here. I went to Li Shuang to arrange it. Jiangdong Creative Center I can assign you two screenwriting teams. Don’t rush to catch up. Let’s finish the complete script first.” The quality of the work is critical.
Tian Xiaopeng took out this planning document and conducted relevant market research and evaluation in the early stage. It is considered a pretty good project.
The launch of the Mythical Universe series did not happen overnight.
October culture alone was definitely not enough to realize Zhou Yutang's ambitions, so he continued to recruit troops and found an ally in Guangguang.
Lao Wang recently acquired Caitiaowu Animation, which can be regarded as half of his own.
"Scorching Sun" finally failed to collect 502 million yuan.
Tom Cruise and the Minions were still killing people at the Chinese Film Market.
There is no single enemy.
In the TV drama circle, the atmosphere has gradually become heated.
Mango Channel has taken the lead in domestic satellite TV stations. Last month, "Beautiful Li Huizhen" came to a perfect end and was succeeded by "Tornado Girl".
This drama is adapted from the novel of the same name "Tornado Herbs". The original author is Ming Xiaoxi. The "Bubble Summer" in the past few years has exploded both on Taiwan and the Internet. She is also a very famous female author in the industry.
This is the first time for me to be the script co-ordinator of this drama. Director Cheng Zhichao is a TVB veteran, plus Yang Yang, Hu Bingqing, Bai Jingting, Chen Xiang, Tan Songyun, Jiang Yiyi
It can be said that they are handsome men and beautiful women, with a youthful atmosphere Overflowing.
Before the release of "Nirvana in Fire", Mango Channel successfully achieved the feat of topping the satellite TV ratings list for the second consecutive time.
Mango Channel is about to become great again. The period drama "Nirvana in Fire", a machinist drama with Suzhou Channel and Shanghai Tomato Channel, is now on the air.
Jiangdong Entertainment + Noon Sunshine has a high-quality reputation, a built-in base of drama fans, and is in full swing of drama promotion work.
The popularity continues to rise, and on the first day of broadcast, it was even outdone by "Tornado Girl".
Just a few days later, the ratings skyrocketed and the show overtook the show. The average ratings of Modu Channel were as high as 1.75%, which is expected to break the second level.
Mango Taiwan is very helpless.
It’s not that I’m not strong enough, it’s that the enemy is too powerful.
It is basically a blockbuster drama if its current ratings can exceed two.
It was a film and television drama produced by Jiangdong Entertainment. It had excellent reputation and multi-channel marketing, which directly aroused the audience's enthusiasm for watching the drama.
For Mango TV, it can’t be said to be a failure.
It can only be said that it is a little regrettable, because due to the restrictions on costume dramas imposed by the General Administration of Radio and Television, each TV station can broadcast a limited number of costume dramas each year.
Mango Channel produced a lot of costume dramas in the first half of this year, and the last spot this year was given to "Flower Thousand Bones", also produced by Jiangdong.
Looking at the ratings of "Nirvana in Fire", the leaders of Suzhou TV Station and Modu TV Station opened champagne.
Before this National Day is about to come, you must have heard this saying in your circle of friends,
"Knowing the path of heroes all over the world, bow your head and there is a plum man on the left side of the river."
