Chapter 714 Absolutely, the koi has just grown up
Director Chen’s royal butler, who has a good handle on worldly affairs.
Not long after Zhou Yutang returned to the capital, he quickly brought Zeng Li and met Chen Hong at Wang Changtian's dinner party.
Chen Hong first asked Xinli Cao Huayi to be the intermediary. Lao Cao mobilized his contacts and then found Wang Changtian of Guangguang, and then he made an appointment with the Governor of Jiangdong.
Poet Chen and his wife, who live in seclusion, attended grandly and brought their young son with them.
"Arthur, sit down."
Looking at Young Master Chen's shivering appearance, you can tell that Brother Chen Kai is usually a bit like a feudal patriarch.
After Zhou Yutang and Zeng Li took their seats, Arthur respectfully said hello before he could take his seat.
Zhou Yutang's focus was not on Arthur. He felt that Brother Chen Kai's hair had turned a lot whiter, so he asked: "Director Chen, how is the post-production of "The Great Wall" going?"
< br>“Oh, let’s not mention it.”
Brother Chen Kai shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
The bitter wine enters the throat and causes pain in the heart.
Zhou Yutang knew it immediately.
Hollywood doesn't follow your example of poet Chen and the world's elite.
It must be that the teams of Legend and Universal have the absolute say, and the final editing rights fall into the hands of others. Director Chen Kaige is a bit aggrieved.
He kept silent about "The Great Wall" and only talked about "Kukai Kukai: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty", that is, "The Legend of the Demon Cat".
Obviously he was unsure, so he pinned his hopes on this new film.
That’s why we have today’s dinner party.
The topic always revolves around "The Legend of the Demon Cat". After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food have passed.
Cao Huayi talked about the launch of the Tangcheng Film and Television Base. Chen Hong followed the trend and told her husband’s intention:
"Mr. Zhou, after thinking about Brother Kai's new drama for a long time, I feel that you are the most suitable candidate for the male lead."
"The two characters Ju Yishi and Bai Juyi in the novel have been combined. For Bai Juyi alone, you are definitely the protagonist.”
The top Hollywood star’s salary is capped at US$20 million.
Including the artistic director of the production team and the script consultant.
There are so many titles, which paints a big pie!
Cao Huayi's eyes were hot, and his hands under the table clenched into fists unconsciously.
As the main producer of this film, he also bet the prospects of Xinli Media on this project.
Light King Changtian was also secretly surprised.
He just pulled the strings. He had never seen such a humble Brother Chen Kai before. It seemed that he was really willing to risk everything.
Even the casting gave Zhou Yutang a lot of rights, not to mention the subsequent movie box office share.
Zeng Li had an intuition.
Zhou Yutang will definitely refuse.
It’s not that Yigu Jiangdong’s sincerity in inviting Zhou Lang was insufficient.
Such a generous condition is unique in the entire Chinese film and television industry. Not even international superstar Jackie Chan can receive this kind of treatment.
Jackie Chan's international influence is undoubted, but he is old after all. In recent years, the box office of the domestic movie projects he has starred in has been unsatisfactory.
What capital values is the rate of return that investment projects can bring.
The Governor of Jiangdong, who has never been defeated, is the natural choice and the only one.
After looking at the top directors in China, who wouldn’t want to work with Zhou Yutang?
Lao Mouzi cooperated with him for the first time to restore the prestige of the national master and return to the peak state.
Arrogant guys like Feng Xiaogang have praised Zhou Yutang more than once on variety shows, openly and secretly expressing their willingness to cooperate.
Another top director in China, Zhou Xingxing, also revealed his true feelings during an exclusive interview program to promote "Mermaid", saying that he wanted to join forces every two weeks to make a big deal.
The reason is that Zhou Yutang's box office appeal is too strong at the moment. In the past two years, the movies he has starred in have grossed nearly 2 billion at the worst.
Zeng Li, who came with Zhou Yutang, sat quietly and chatted with the enthusiastic Chen Hong from time to time.
While I am proud of my man, I am also a little funny in my heart.
Brother Chen Kai comes from an aristocratic family and is very high-spirited. Even when asking for help, he is a bit blunt. On the contrary, Chen Hong speaks beautifully.
The result did not surprise Zeng Li, and Zhou Yutang refused.
The dinner ended quickly. On the way back, Zeng Li touched Zhou Yutang's arm and asked, "Is Cao Huayi here for the "Three Lives Three Worlds" and "In the Snow" projects?"
"Sister Li is smart."
Zhou Yutang reached out to wrap his arms around the slender and soft waist of the beauty in green and brought her into his arms.
Chen Kaige and his wife came here for the new movie, but Cao Huayi came for the two super popular IPs "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and "Swordsman in the Snow" from Jiangdong Entertainment.
Guangguang indirectly holds shares in Xinli Media, and Wang Changtian has a close relationship with Cao Huayi, so he serves as the middleman.
It’s just that when he wanted to reproduce the project of “Jing Zhong Yue Fei”, he obviously had a lot on his mind.
It took Ali a lot of money to get the film rights to "Three Lives Three Worlds". Why did Cao Huayi bring him on board if he couldn't bring enough chips to replace resources?
"Alibaba executives revealed that they will work with Jiangdong to promote the film and TV series versions of "Three Lives Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" simultaneously. Online casting is in progress. Cast a crucial vote for the stars you support!"
< br>"Bona Chairman Yu Dong personally stood up for the premiere of "The Trilogy" and made bold statements. If nothing unexpected happens, the total box office of the trilogy will be 3.5 billion!"
"The premiere press conference of "Journey to the West: The Monkey King Three Fights the Bone Demon" was held in Beijing. Gong Li has a strong aura, the classic Journey to the West is reappeared, and the smoke is rising during the Spring Festival!"
In February, the box office of "Tang Detective" The growth rate has slowed down, and "Star Wars" has come to an end. With the high-profile actions of several giants such as Alibaba and Bona, the entertainment industry has begun to become lively.
Several movies released during the Spring Festival have begun to enter the final stage of promotion.
The popularity of "Mermaid" is unprecedented, and the premiere of "The Wind and Cloud 3" is also star-studded. Behind Fatty Bona Yu are Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Zhang Jiahui, Zhang Xueyou, Liu Jialin, Li Yuchun, Long Wugongzi, etc. A cast of stars.
Including the Hong Kong capital behind it, the Moon Entertainment CEO who has endless romantic anecdotes, and the Dragon Five Club of Chinese stars are all prominently listed.
"The trilogy is going to have a box office of 3.5 billion?"
On the way to the company, Zhou Yutang saw the film and television information, shook his head and laughed: "Did Fatty Yu drink too much?"
Although the first two movies reaped the benefits of the Spring Festival season and grossed nearly 2 billion at the box office beyond imagination, their reputation was already terrible.
According to Fatty Yu's thinking, now "The Wind and Cloud 3" must have a box office revenue of at least RMB 1.5 billion in order to achieve a revenue of RMB 3.5 billion.
Although the Chinese film industry has taken off, audiences are not fools, and not just any bad money-making movie can get a box office of more than 1.5 billion.
On the other hand, "Journey to the West: Monkey King Fights the Bone Demon Three Times" is quite popular and deserves attention.
According to the news released by the film studio, it is said that more than 1,500 special effects shots were used in the entire film, and the top special effects team in Hollywood was hired, but it is not known how good the quality is.
The domestic film market is in full swing, and it’s awards season in Hollywood.
Leonardo successfully won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor, and Kate Winslet hugged him excitedly on the spot, which has already made the entertainment headlines there.
"Little Plum is very promising this year."
After receiving Bob's call, Zhou Yutang took a look.
This time, "The Revenant", which made Leonardo DiCaprio nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, received 12 Oscar nominations. It is so popular that no one can match it.
“Zhou, we also have awards.”
“What awards?”
“Golden Raspberry Awards.”
The old man laughed strangely.
"Fifty Shades of Grey", which has made huge waves at the global box office this year, has been controversial, and it was criticized at the Golden Raspberry Awards.
Winning 6 nominations including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actor and Actor, etc., it was gloriously named one of the worst Hollywood movies of the year.
"This doesn't seem to be good news."
"Zhou, relax."
The old man gave shameless comfort: "Those guys who don't know how to appreciate it must have voted with their butt drums. I think "Fifty Shades of Grey" is a perfect art film and can definitely compete for the best picture at this year's Oscars."
Zhou Yutang didn't take it to heart at all.
Even the last Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne was nominated for worst actor in "Jupiter Ascending", and Oscar winner Julianne Moore also received the worst actor nomination in "Seventh Son" Supporting Actress nomination.
It’s none of his business anyway. Bob, the veteran, is the producer on the stage.
He even calmly informed Bob that he is planning to start the sequel movie of "Fifty Shades of Grey" next year and make another big profit.
With the rise of Internet live broadcasts, more and more Internet celebrities have sprung up.
Zhou Yutang’s MCN company is also an important part of the future entertainment industry.
Signed up with a number of high-quality UP owners including Li Ziqi, Office Ono, food writer Wang Gang, Dianxi Xiaoge, etc.
There are experts who cook food in creative and weird ways in the office, and there are also cultural communicators who focus on themes such as traditional Chinese food, rural life and traditional handicrafts.
The company's main resources are focused on Li Ziqi, who has a good response on YouTube.
The big stage for Internet celebrities, come if you have a dream.
Douyin’s publicity plan is progressing steadily, but opponents are not idle either.
Last year, Miaopai and Xiaokaxiu APP, which were gaining momentum, held a short video party at the Water Cube. They invited a number of popular celebrities to take the stage and shouted loud slogans.
——Define the internet celebrity era dominated by short videos.
This is a response to the onslaught of Douyin, and it also declares its status in the short video field.
The year-end awards were implemented and the Jiangdong Annual Meeting was held as scheduled.
Also on this day, a big earthquake occurred in the neon entertainment circle next door.
SMAP, the Asian pop group from Johnny & Associates, announced that it has been disbanded.
This SMAP group has been active since their debut in 1988. For nearly 30 years, their fan base is astonishingly large.
The group's single "The Only Flower in the World" has sold 2.5 million copies and was even regarded as Neon's second national anthem.
The influence is not even limited to Neon, there are many fans overseas, and the fans who have followed along the way basically have a certain spending power, have placed deep emotions on the group, and are very willing to spend money. Fans found it hard to accept, triggering a strong response.
The media in Neon are covering this matter overwhelmingly.
Some Japanese media estimate that the subsequent losses caused by the dissolution of SMAP will be as high as 63.6 billion yen.
According to the current exchange rate, it is about 3.7 billion yuan.
This number is still a conservative estimate!
This includes their annual income, fans’ consumption expenditures, and one-time losses in related industries. Zhou Yutang asked Masami Nagasawa on the line, and Majiang said it was the result of a power struggle among high-level officials within the firm.
There were many domestic reports on this matter. Zhou Yutang looked through several pieces of information and pointed directly at Johnny Kitagawa, the president of Johnny & Associates.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
This Lao Deng was born before the S2 season. After the S2 war, he returned to Neon to work in the entertainment industry.
He single-handedly created many well-known idol groups in the Heisei era and led Johnny & Associates to become bigger and stronger.
Although Korean entertainment is now sweeping across Asia with great momentum, in fact many industrial assembly line-like idol productions and huge artist training systems are all based on the experience of Japanese entertainment.
Including the operational ideas of the Kodong Girl Group, and some of them are derived from this.
Idol groups are spiritual sustenance in the eyes of fans, but for company leaders, they are essentially products that can generate revenue for the company.
Since it is a commodity, it has a price and can be manipulated and enjoyed at will.
Zhou Yutang claims to be not a good person, but according to some inside information he got, compared to what Lao Deng did in Kitagawa.
He is simply a saint.
“wooolalalalalalala
wooohperfectsacrificeyeah”
The beautiful melody played in the car music is exactly the second single album "LoveDive" of the Jiangdong girl group, which is also written by a top composer hands, the response was quite good.
For the first time, sales volume has exceeded 600,000, and this number continues to rise. It may not be impossible to exceed one million.
To date, he has won the first place in 14 singing programs in South Korea.
Suppressed the Girls' Generation team head-on, and was called the monster newcomer who ended the Empress.
When he saw the little koi carp again, a slight arc appeared at the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth.
When I first met her while filming "Want to See You", she was still a yellow-haired girl, but now she has grown into a graceful and beautiful girl.
After rubbing Yang Chaoyue's head, the latter shrank his head in disgust: "Hey, uncle, you messed up my hairstyle."
"You just tie two braids, what kind of hairstyle do you have?" ?”
“You don’t understand this, this is called the vitality girl style”
Yang Chaoyue raised her head proudly and raised her eyebrows: “We won another one on the singing stage. It’s time.”
That delicate face seems to be saying, come and praise me, come and praise me.
Zhou Yutang refused to let her get her wish, and deliberately teased her: "The results of "cupid" are not bad, and the reviews from domestic audiences are also very good."
"I'm talking about a new song!"
"New song? ”
Zhou Yutang stared thoughtfully, with a slightly confused look on his face.
“You haven’t listened to the new song in the single album, have you?”
Yang Chaoyue's face fell instantly, and her loss was visible to the naked eye.
"The acting is a little exaggerated, why are you pouting so high?"
Zhou Yutang touched the little koi's head and chuckled: "I listened to the new song, it's not bad. But you can't be proud, look around, who is not popular in Asia? "
Tonight at the Jiangdong Annual Party, there was a performance by the Jiangdong Girl Group, and he called out Yang Chaoyue to speak alone.
If Cheng Xiao, Zhao Meiyan, Jin Jixiu and other teammates were here, they would be surprised to find out.
Sweeping the South Korean singing competition stage, even winning 14 places, Xiao Koi has never been so happy and moved. Now Zhou Yutang said "not bad", but she instantly forgot about expression management and laughed from the bottom of her heart. .
The energetic girl has her own magic power, and her smile makes the whole room brighter. Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "Did Pei Yun tell you about next year's work arrangements?"
"Hmm, apart from the Asia tour, there is also the China team plan, do I really want to transform into an actor?"
"In China, there is no soil suitable for idols to survive. The end of idols, Either be a singer or an actor."
Zhou Yutang said meaningfully: "It is better to avoid detours. The South Korean branch will have business adjustments next year."
"Then I understand, but it's a pity that I can't eat my mother's Malatang."
Yang Chaoyue sighed in distress: "How much money will this cost the South Koreans!"
It's just that The little Koi, who looked childish but very obsessed with money, made Zhou Yutang couldn't help laughing: "How much money does this Malatang shop make?"
When I met the Malatang opened casually under the brand, Focus on a sinking market.
It happened that Yang’s mother went to South Korea to take care of the little koi, so she was made the store manager, and the business was pretty good.
However, catering is only a relatively inconspicuous part of Zhou Yutang's industrial landscape. Even the hotpot company is in talks to merge with Haidilao.
"The drought will kill you, the flood will kill you, and you will make all the money."
Yang Chaoyue talked about the business seriously: "I originally thought that I would wait until next year to get the share. In the future, let my mother open another braised chicken restaurant. You know, no one there has ever eaten braised chicken. I will definitely make a lot of money by then, and then open a branch."
Dangtang Popular Girl A new member of the Monster Group, determined to open a braised chicken restaurant.
I’m already hugging the watermelon, but I’m still thinking about the sesame seeds
Zhou Yutang was so angry that he refused to argue. He stretched out his hand and flicked Yang Chaoyue's smooth and jade-like forehead. The latter covered his forehead and immediately flattened his mouth: "Uncle, do you know that it hurts? If I become stupid, are you responsible?"
"Do your job well and don't think about what you have and what you don't have."
"Yeah, I have a week off during the Chinese New Year."
Yang Chaoyue has an earache in her left ear. , came out from the right ear, with a hopeful tone: "Are you going home for the New Year this year?"
"I won't go back until the premiere of "Mermaid" is over, and before New Year's Eve."
"Then I'll treat you to a movie. I heard that "Mermaid" is a fusion of you and Zhou Xingxing. I still owe him the movie tickets."
"What is a fusion?"
Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly: "That's a collaboration, I'm a guest star, there are only a few scenes."
"Oh, that's what the media reported anyway."
Yang Chaoyue took a photo My breasts, Yi Bo Yuntian: "Although I don't make much money, it's okay to treat you to a movie."
"Let's talk about it then."
Communicating with the little koi, calling Zhou Yutang a little big-headed, is there a generation gap?
Kodong’s new girl group has reached its peak since their debut. A large part of the reason is that the company spent a lot of resources on them.
Even though they have become a first-tier girl group, most of their income in the first year is basically used to cover the company's initial operating costs.
This is the unspoken rule of the South Korean entertainment industry.
There was no objection to the contract signed by the group members themselves.
So Yang Chaoyue is not actually making much money at the moment. If he wants to really make money, he should wait until the group's popularity is stable and then continue to monetize the popularity.
The most important channel is concerts, with a higher share ratio.
As for other income sharing ratios in the contract, they will also be increased accordingly.
Back in the backstage lounge, everyone in the group turned their attention to Yang Chaoyue.
No one is a fool. The outside world has long said that Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Yutang have a special relationship. It is also true that the Governor takes special care of Yang Chaoyue.
He even gave her a black membership card for the Yumei Hotpot restaurant. Everyone eats along with her, and Min Xizhen, the director of the company’s artist department, also takes great care of her.
What I am curious about now is what Zhou Yutang said to Yang Chaoyue.
Jin Zhixiu, Zhao Meiyan and SANA were doing their own things. Cheng Xiao, who was still the closest to her, hugged her arm and asked:
"Xiaoyue, Mr. Zhou is looking for What are you doing?”
"I didn't do anything, just talk about our work arrangements for next year."
A soft and greasy touch came, Yang Chaoyue shrugged, his eyes fell on Cheng Xiao's bear, like a magnet quilt Suck.
Today, Cheng Xiao is dressed the same as everyone else.
The lower body is in hot pants and fishnet stockings, and the thighs are plump.
The most eye-catching thing is the slightly tight T-shirt, which sets off the pair even more.
In addition to the youthful atmosphere of a girl, it also reveals a bit of sexiness.
As the sexy person in the group, Cheng Xiao’s figure is quite explosive.
Jin Zhixiu and Zhao Meiyan both looked down at their Xiao Long Bao, feeling a little discouraged: "Everyone obviously eats the same amount, why is she so big?"
The girls did not think about it for too long, Min Xizhen He walked in with a glowing face, clapped his hands and said, "Children, Mr. Zhou has finished speaking. Let's prepare for the last step. The stage will start soon!"
South Korea actually has a tradition of annual gatherings.
But for Min Xizhen, coming to Jiangdong headquarters to attend the annual meeting feels like a pilgrimage to Beijing.
The scale of Kodong Entertainment is not comparable to that of South Korean entertainment companies. It is a behemoth equivalent to a chaebol.
Mountains of cash are piled up, and celebrities appear on stage.
The Jiangdong Annual Party was as lively as ever, and Zhou Yutang did not go on stage to show off his singing voice like Lao Wang.
He just sat quietly in the audience, enjoying the song and dance performance of his own girl group.
I heard that Boss Xu from Hengtai has a singing and dancing troupe, all of them are beautiful and good at dancing.
The old-generation Crown Group under him, and the super-popular new-generation girl group that is popular all over Asia, are expected to be about the same.
The warm applause and cheers at the scene are the best proof.
"Mr. Zhou, what are Cheng Xiao's arrangements?"
Yang Tianzhen noticed that the Governor at the same table lingered on Cheng Xiao for a little too long, and he came closer and asked.
Next year, the work focus of Yang Chaoyue and Cheng Xiao in the Jiangdong girl group will slowly shift back to China, and their domestic management affairs will be left to Yang Tianzhen.
Little Koi is recognized as the little princess of Jiangdong, but she is a little unsure of Zhou Yutang's attitude towards Cheng Xiao.
In the entire Jiangdong Entertainment, all senior executives have indescribable admiration and respect for Zhou Yutang.
Also including Yang Tianzhen.
Even Zhou Yutang’s casual words or subtle changes in his eyes and expressions.
She must be asked to ponder over and over again in order to analyze the pros and cons related to herself.
