Chapter 698: Big money, pool party
“Oppa, I heard that your girl group is going to release a new album. Did you choose the time specially?”
Lin Yoona’s avatar is here Jumping, the sudden question made Zhou Yutang slowly type a question mark,
"?"
"Our team is also going to release an album!"
Lin Yoona made an angry expression: "When the time comes, we will definitely hit you."
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, it was just an accident last time!"
“…”
Zhou Yutang replied to Yoona’s message.
It can be seen that Lin Yuner is very unconvinced.
Girls’ Generation’s facade has a strong desire to win.
But when he thought of that innocent deer looking full of energy, Zhou Yutang couldn't help but laugh.
The Jiangdong girl group is still too impressive.
The sales of his first album exceeded one million copies.
Among them, the hit song "CUPID" has been on the Billboard singles chart for 16 consecutive weeks.
Created the best overseas performance of a new generation of women’s groups.
This is also the number one fault among girl groups in the past, and there is no one even close.
Indiscriminate killings overseas, and a top singer on a singing show in South Korea also got a soft hand.
At the same time, Girls’ Generation released a new album, and they followed suit.
Although Zhou Yutang mobilized the resources of the Jiangdong Department behind the scenes to push the results.
Lifting the table and raising the bar is also a common method in the entertainment industry.
But it is an indisputable fact that it has become a hit abroad, and it has achieved real results on Spotify.
This is the true debut and peak.
Girl groups of the same generation have no rivals and their popularity has dropped.
Fans call it the Super Wanyan Group.
Little Tang Wei and Kim Ji Soo are considered great beauties, but Yang Chaoyue is still the face of the group.
The appearance and condition of the little koi really means that it is fed by God. It is pure, cute and full of energy.
Cheng Xiao is the sexy leader of the group, Sister Sana is full of aura, and the remaining Zhao Meiyan is a stupid beauty.
However, the strong will return to the strong.
The background is still a bit worse than that of Girls' Generation, which is at its peak.
Girls’ Generation has been invincible and lonely for too long since the second generation.
It’s hard to imagine that the Wondergirls members who suppressed Girls’ Generation in the past have disbanded long ago, and some members have even gotten married and had children...
Lim Yoona said that it is South Korea and is already doing it. The publicity work for "Broken Tomb" is over.
At that time, she will have a trip to China at the end of the year to promote the movie "Mermaid".
The Chateau Frontenac, built in 1893, is a landmark building in Maple Leaf Country.
It is located on the north shore of St. Lawrence in the old town, in the center of the old town of Quebec City.
The blue-green roof, red brick exterior walls and neat windows are like a castle in a fairy tale. The interior of the hotel is decorated in a 19th century French style.
Overall, it is old but stylish.
Zhou Yutang's room has a unique view, overlooking the Plaza de Armas and the sparkling waves of the St. Lawrence River.
By the time he checked in, Jiang Xuerou had already communicated with the management of this "most photogenic hotel in the world".
The crew of "The Lonely and Brilliant God" will shoot here. The hotel where Jin Xin asked Eun Zhuo to wait for him is here.
Arrived on the same day, no rest, just turned on the phone.
Jiang Xuerou felt very distressed. The crew was filming abroad and the money they burned every day was several times that of domestic production.
However, Zhou Yutang still took two days off from the crew and flew to Los Angeles.
The main creators of "The Meg" are already in place, including director Jodet Duba and Warner Bros. producer Barry M Osborne, who has produced films such as "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Great Gatsby" Hollywood gold medal producer.
Also starring Guo Da Statham, Nazha, and Zhang Songwen.
Teacher Songwen played Nazha’s father in this movie, but at this time he was still working on the set of "Mr. Good" and did not come over.
The main creators are waiting for the big boss Zhou Yutang to hold a meeting in Los Angeles.
New Line’s share is not large. Bob was not there that day, but he called Zhou Yutang,
"Wow, Zhou, you really should come to Brazil. Here are the most charming girls I have ever seen, and there are passionate parties that you will never forget."
I really don’t know this old man Something went wrong in his head, so he just didn't attend the meeting. Now that "The Conjuring 2" is also being released in North America, he didn't even attend the meeting himself. He went to Brazil to open a bank party.
"Bob, take it easy, you will be drained sooner or later."
Zhou Yutang's tone was calm and teasing.
He looked at the photo Bob shared.
One on the left and one on the right, two Brazilian supermodels with exaggerated fleshy figures surrounded the old man.
Looking at his grin almost reaching behind his ears, I don’t know if this old man can withstand it.
"Zhou, there is one bad thing about you, that is, you are too conservative and don't know how to enjoy life..."
Old Bob kept chattering, but Zhou Yutang did not let him continue. I had the chance to show off and hung up the phone directly because of poor signal.
He was sitting on a lounge chair beside the indoor heated swimming pool, with a relaxed and relaxed posture.
Nazha obediently handed over a glass of ice.
It may be cultural differences, or it may be personal reasons.
Zhou Yutang is not very interested in this kind of extroverted and chaotic party.
He is used to being cautious in doing things, and will not let the small head control the big head unless it is confirmed that it is within the control range.
But old Bob is still very reliable in his work. He probably wants to train Natalie, his number one general, and she handles all these things.
Bob also asked Governor Zhou about his impression of Natalie.
This woman who is very capable and efficient in her work is very attractive to Zhou Yutang.
“I feel like “The Conjuring 2” is scarier than the previous one in the series.”
Nazha was in a super good mood today, chatting animatedly with Ni Ni, Chen Xi, and Han Jia Nu before they were in North America "The Conjuring 2" released in theaters.
Chen Xi and Han Jia'v are both producers of "The Meg". The two women have been here for a while and often play with Naza.
Today, three women were singing a show, chattering, and it was particularly lively by the swimming pool.
This luxury apartment not only has private spa, steaming and other facilities, but the most important thing is the 20-meter indoor heated swimming pool.
A few women were sitting on deck chairs nearby, discussing the movie, smiling from time to time.
I was amazed by James Wan's shooting techniques. In fact, Zhou Yutang had already seen the finished film of "The Conjuring 2".
Wan Ziren's reputation as a master of horror films is not in vain. The quality of this film is undoubtedly better than the Conjuring universe spin-off film "Annabelle".
Compared with the first part, there is a lot of controversy.
Some people feel that the first game in the Conjuring series was too stunning, and the sequels failed to live up to expectations and gradually became cliche.
Some people also feel that there are still many wonderful stories that can be explored in the Conjuring universe.
The benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom.
As for Zhou Yutang, he was very satisfied with the result. He sat on the recliner and said to Ni Ni comfortably,
"Ask Sister Zou to contact James Wan's studio, and let the sequel to The Purge of Humanity be released first. The writing work of the Conjuring series has been given the highest priority, ensuring the rhythm of one film per year..."
He went all the way. Why did Xin Lai fly to Hollywood?
Of course not for art.
But to make money, to make US dollars.
This is how Hollywood makes movie projects. As long as it can make money, it will keep producing sequels.
For example, the "Fast and Furious" series has harvested the global box office this year and made a lot of money. A sequel is already on the agenda.
There is also the classic horror film "Saw" series also created by James Wan. The big boss Jigsaw in the movie is dead, and the timeline is pushed backwards and forwards, with the same various sequels.
As long as the audience pays, it has meaning.
The same is true for the "Conjuring" series now in Zhou Yutang's hands.
This is a Kun that can lay golden eggs.
"I understand."
Ni Ni wrote down her boss's words, and her heart gradually became turbulent, far less calm than she appeared on the surface.
There are currently three movies in the Conjuring series.
It has taken the world by storm and has grossed nearly $600 million in box office.
Moreover, "The Conjuring 2" has just been released. It was released in 3,343 theaters across the United States. It took in US$18.4 million at the box office on the first day and US$61.28 million in the first weekend!
Just look at the extremely stable box office trend and reputation of this movie, it will definitely not be lower than "The Conjuring 1"!
As a result, the box office of The Conjuring series is expected to reach 800 million US dollars, or even higher!
However, behind all this, the total production cost of the three movies is less than 70 million.
This is why those Hollywood giants are flocking to Zhou Yutang.
This is also the fundamental reason why he was able to break the boundaries of skin color and nationality, become famous in Hollywood, and plant the flag of Jiangdong.
This is the power of capital.
As long as you are exposed to this kind of power, you will inevitably be immersed in it and your heart will be filled with awe.
Ni Ni is in such a state now.
Soft and bright light scatters from the ceiling and pool walls, reflecting the sparkling waves.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows not far away, you can see the bustling night view of Los Angeles, which is different from other places.
Several women were wearing swimsuits, but Han Jianu and Chen Xi were automatically filtered by Zhou Yutang.
He drank Bing Kuo Luo, his eyes lingering on Ni Ni.
The white one-piece swimsuit has a waist-revealing design, which shows off her good figure very well, especially her long legs, which faintly reveal a hint of sexiness. "Brother, do you want to swim?"
Nazha sat directly on Zhou Yutang's chair, crossing her legs, seemingly blocking his gaze from Ni Ni unintentionally.
The light also shone on Naza's milky, snowy skin, and her soft body seemed to have a sweet smell.
"Go ahead, I'll lie down for a while."
Zhou Yutang gently patted Naza's slender waist and said lazily.
During this period, I have been working day and night on the crew, so today is a day off for myself.
Nazha casually threw aside the white bath towel wrapped around her body, and she was wearing a light pink swimsuit.
The neck is slender and the collarbones are slender.
Under those soft shoulders, poor but generous.
Zhou Yutang's eyes stayed on the beautiful legs that were more upright than him for more than ten seconds.
It’s like admiring a beautiful piece of art.
At this time, Nazha knew that Zhou Yutang's eyes were on her.
Feeling a little proud in her heart, she turned around and smiled at Zhou Yutang, showing off her beauty and charm to Governor Zhou even more brazenly.
Stretching out her snow-white jade feet to test the temperature of the swimming pool, Nazha struck a graceful pose and jumped into the water like a diver.
A water flower blooms.
Outside the one-way floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the bustling yet cold Los Angeles City.
The temperature inside the window is pleasant, and the clear and warm water envelopes you, as if it can wash away all fatigue and worries.
Money is not everything.
But having money will undoubtedly save you a lot of worries and enjoy the beauty that many people cannot enjoy.
Zhou Yutang firmly believes in Brother Hao’s classic saying.
This is also the reason why he has always maintained his ambition.
The swimming pool party ended very early last night. Ni Ni proposed to get rid of the jet lag, and Chen Xi and Han Jia Nu also understood it.
The rest is the world of two people, Governor Zhou and Nazha.
The next day.
The weather in Luocheng is exceptionally fresh, just like Zhou Yutang’s mood.
Teaching Naza a foreign language in the evening, and on the next day’s schedule, I plan to visit the set of "La La Land".
The corners of Zhou Yutang's mouth curled up, and he closed his eyes to rest, but in his mind he remembered the charming and moving scene last night.
"Zhou, congratulations on your box office success."
Sending an overly enthusiastic hug, the smile on Anne Hathaway's face was extremely bright, attracting frequent glances from the crew.
"Sure enough, there is no simple role for a big star."
Ni Ni saw Anne Hathaway's scheming at a glance and sneered in her heart.
From the perspective of the crew, they may very well feel that the relationship between this big-mouthed beauty and Zhou Yutang is as close as reported by Hollywood gossips.
Or, it is unknown whether he has already recommended himself to this Oriental entertainment tycoon.
But Ni Ni, who has always been with Zhou Yutang, knows that the two are just ordinary friends.
Zhou Yutang is more interested in Zhang Ruonan than the big-mouthed beauty.
Wai Guoren does not understand the profoundness of the Chinese culture. Governor Zhou is not a traitor, and he has no special preference for wives.
“I had studied drama at the Paper Mill Theater in New Jersey and received dance training at the Broadway Dance Center, but this was very different.”
The smile on Anne Hathaway's face never stopped: "In order to meet the requirements of the role, I spent another two and a half months practicing walking, tap dancing and ballroom dancing. This is really very important to me. Difficulties..."
"Annie, you have paid a lot."
Zhou Yutang smiled lightly: "I hope our efforts will have good results."
"I. I think so too.”
Anne Hathaway showed her iconic sweet smile.
I have to say that the big-mouthed beauty really paid a lot for this role.
Including Commander Gao, he took piano lessons for a long time for the role in this movie, but he looked decent anyway.
After greeting the crew, Zhou Yutang found director Damien and took a look at the footage.
For Damien, this movie was made for Los Angeles.
Dreams and reality, love and separation.
Coexistence sounds very poetic.
But in fact, director Damien Chazelle is still not very confident,
“Boss, if you feel that the details of the plot are inappropriate, we can Make adjustments, but it’s best not to delete some song and dance clips..."
Damien reported proactively, even with a somewhat uneasy tone: "Moreover, I want to use a purely original score. I think only in this way can it be perfect. It embodies what the whole movie wants to express..."
Hollywood directors, unless they reach the top positions like Nolan or Spielberg, must listen to investors.
Seeing his anxious look, Zhou Yutang didn't take it seriously. Instead, he patted Damien on the shoulder and gave him reassurance:
"Using singing and dancing to express the evolving love is a It’s a novel, but interesting retro attempt. I believe in my own judgment of the market, and you should also believe in your own ability, right?”
“I think so”
Young. Director Damien breathed a sigh of relief, and only now did he remember to congratulate: "Boss, congratulations on the box office success of "The Conjuring 2."
Beside him, gold medal scorer Justin Hurwitz, As well as Oscar and Golden Globe double supporting actor JK Simmons, they also smiled and sent congratulations,
"Zhou, no one understands the art of movies better than you."
"When the time comes, this movie will definitely surprise everyone."
"Mr. Miracle's vision will definitely It’s not wrong.”
“…”
The atmosphere on the set is relaxed and joyful.
With such a knowledgeable and cheerful investor, he will not use market reasons to interfere with the advancement of the entire project.
The plot of the movie is a bit weak, but the sincere emotions revealed in it can make even people who don’t understand musicals feel a kind of beauty from it.
This is also the reason why Zhou Yutang invested in this movie.
Making movies is about worldliness, and all Zhou Yutang heard here was rainbow farts.
He stayed on the set until night and watched the night scene scheduled for today.
It is a classic pas de deux image in the movie.
The photographer specially arranged many blue-green lights to form a strong contrast with the dim sky.
This moment.
It’s like romance is embodied.
Ni Ni looked at the beautiful dusk sky and Zhou Yutang's superior profile, feeling a little intoxicated.
Zhou Yutang doesn’t often post to WeChat Moments, but occasionally when the mood strikes, he takes a photo and the magnificent colors intertwined with the light and sky can give people a magnificent feeling.
Zhang Ruonan, who was still in Quebec, immediately gave Zhou Yutang a thumbs up.
"I heard that the movie starred Anne Hathaway?"
When Zhou Yutang returned to the set, he came up to him like a curious baby and asked:
< br>"They say she is a Hollywood princess. I have watched "Batman" and "Love and Elixir". Does she look so beautiful in real life?"
"On par with you."
Zhou Yutang looked at Zhang Ruonan and joked: "Xiao Zhang, you are quite good-looking too."
"Anne Hathaway is still pretty. , Hehe."
Zhang Ruonan felt a little happy, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Anne Hathaway in her prime was indeed invincible in appearance.
But there is a big problem with white beauties, that is, the flowering period is shorter, which is not as good as that of oriental beauties.
“The scenes in Canada are very demanding on you, are you ready?”
“I don’t know, it feels a bit difficult.”
Zhang Ruonan, who had just gossiped about spiritual meanings, suddenly raised his face and sighed.
For the first time, Chi Enzhuo followed Jin Xin’s door and traveled through space to Canada.
She was completely shocked when she saw the power of this god lost in the world.
The heartless Chi Enzhuo smiled and told Jin Xin that she wanted to marry him.
It belongs to being invisible.
Jin Xin didn’t just like this little girl from the beginning.
The relationship between the two has a progressive process.
It was seeing such a lovely and brilliant girl that touched Jin Xin's heart in a different way.
It also makes the audience intuitively aware of the budding feelings between two people.
At this time, there is also an invisible ambiguity lingering between Zhou Yutang and Zhang Ruonan, from inside the play to outside the play.
In a private hug scene, Zhang Ruonan held Zhou Yutang's chest with both hands, her crystal cheeks flushed,
"Can you stop moving your hands?"
"Sorry, it's a reflex."
Zhou Yutang calmly took his hand away from Zhang Ruonan's buttocks.
Brothers who have women should know this.
Sometimes, a hug is sometimes more than just a hug.
Hands will definitely be placed where they should be
