Chapter 46: Da Meiyuan, That Night!
Huang Xiaoming and Gao Yuanyuan's shocked eyes all fell on Zhou Yutang.
"Every actor has a dream of making movies, and I want to try it too."
Zhou Yutang shrugged his shoulders and replied with a chuckle: "When Mr. Xue was filming "I Want to See You", I was her assistant director, and I had an impulse at that time, I wanted to make my own movies in the future. ”
In fact, there is an invisible chain of contempt in the current domestic entertainment.
The film circle> the TV drama circle> variety show circle.
Liu Tianxian is a good example.
After the two TV series of Sword and Condor accumulated enough popularity, Aunt Liu sharpened her head and wanted Liu Tianxian to transform into a movie and move to the big screen.
"Xiaotang, making a movie is still very different from making a TV series, and the risk is very high, you have to think about this clearly."
Huang Xiaoming also couldn't accept Zhou Yutang's whimsical thoughts, feeling that this younger brother might have been a little popular recently, so he was a little floating, and he wanted to pull this impulsive little brother back from the lost, and persuaded bitterly:
"Judging from my personal experience, you'd better make a few more TV series, consolidate your fan base, and wait until you have a certain fan base before thinking about making movies."
"Xiao Ming is right."
Gao Yuanyuan also thought so.
"You have to know that making movies is completely different from making TV series, TV series can be watched when you turn on the TV in the end, and you don't have to spend a penny, and movies require the audience to go to the cinema to watch the scenes you shoot with real money from their pockets, so it's really difficult to ......"
When Brother Xiao Ming said this, his tone was a little embarrassed.
After making his popular debut in "The Son of Heaven", his star journey was smooth, and he did not have the idea of climbing to the next level of the film industry.
Then he made a movie about Hong Jingbao, the big brother in the Hong Kong circle, but the result cannot be said to be hitting the street, but it can also be said to be sinking into the sea.
Later, he also took over Director Feng's "Night Banquet", and the international chapter, handsome Azu, and Ge Yu formed a super invincible luxury lineup.
The result?
was released last year, and there was a lot of scolding.
The domestic box office can't recover the cost, if it weren't for the follow-up overseas distribution and making money, Huayi's big and small kings would always vomit blood.
Now when Brother Xiao Ming talks about movies, he has a little shadow in his heart.
"It's really not that easy to make a movie, Yu Tang, you have to think about it carefully."
Gao Yuanyuan also persuaded seriously, she took her friends around her as an example.
There are those who make movies and lose their money, those who sell their houses to pay off their debts, those who fail and jump off the building, and those who simply disappear from the circle.
They are all friends, so they should be persuaded and persuaded.
In short, the meaning is also in place.
The water in the film circle is very deep, brother, you are still young and can't grasp it.
"Hehe, thank you Brother Xiao Ming and Sister Yuanyuan, I'll think about it when I go back."
Zhou Yutang said this, and he already had an idea in his heart.
In these years, even fish sellers know that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.
He wants to improve, if he wants to progress quickly, he can't follow the rules.
Only by daring to take the road that others have not walked can we harvest a different kind of beautiful scenery.
"One step at a time, let's take our time, you are still young, and you are very powerful now."
Huang Xiaoming's emotional intelligence is still very high, and he praised Zhou Yutang a few words without a trace.
As for the investment in "I Want to See You", at least it has brought him at least twice the income, which can be said to be quite considerable.
The only pity is that Zhou Yutang was not moved by him to join his command, but prepared to do his own studio.
"Yu Tang is indeed very thoughtful and excellent."
Gao Yuanyuan also felt a little strange in her heart, and only after contacting did she know that Zhou Yutang was really a treasure boy.
She is a little literary and artistic, and she admires talented men, not to mention that Zhou Yutang is still so talented, even if she is talented, she speaks well, and even her appearance is so top-notch.
Ordinary people chasing stars can only like it silently and support it secretly, but people like Gao Yuanyuan are different.
are all insiders, it just so happens that Da Meiyuan doesn't have any work during this time, and she chases the drama "I Want to See You" very much, and finds Huang Xiaoming to inquire about the news, and asks him to contact Zhou Yutang as an intermediary and come out to meet.
And then there is such a game as today.
Zhou Yutang also likes to communicate with her mature, gentle and beautiful sister, talking about music, literature, and film art, and has a common language.
These two people can't be said to be familiar at first sight, or they can be said to hate each other late.
"Xiaotang, do you still have a suitable TV script in your hand? If we have the opportunity, we can continue to work together. ”
The topic twisted and turned, and back to the topic, Huang Xiaoming suddenly asked.
He is now the No. 1 student in domestic entertainment, in addition to his identity as an actor, he also has an identity, that is, an investment businessman.
Although I am not optimistic about what Zhou Yutang will do, it is undeniable that this Nortel junior is extremely talented, and he has already eaten the sweetness once with the cooperation, so he wants to eat it again.
"Brother Xiao Ming, I won't tell you, here in my studio, there is no TV script to shoot in the short term."
Zhou Yutang also said frankly: "As for the future, the TV series project will continue to be done...... There is a big production project, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I hope to shoot it. ”
For now.
Jiangdong Film and Television Studio is still in its infancy, and there is no way to compare with some large film and television companies.
If Zhou Yutang wants to make a movie, then the main force must be concentrated in this area, and there is no spare energy to do TV series projects at all.
Of course, it's okay to participate in investments.
"Big production projects? Can you tell us about it? ”
Huang Xiaoming's eyes lit up, and he decisively became interested.
Zhou Yutang said his plan with great interest: "I am going to adapt the novel in the snow into a TV series, the original plot is too long, then it will be the same as the model of American dramas, divided into several seasons, and then the total investment in the first season is expected to be more than 150 million ......"
Huang Xiaoming: "......"
Gao Yuanyuan: "......"
The two of them fell into a state of stupor, their eyes widening in jaw.
Brother Yu Tang, you haven't drunk much, why are you so drunk?
A TV series invests more than 150 million, which sounds like a fantasy to two people.
What is the concept?
The total investment of the movie night banquet is only 120 million, and this TV series uses 150 million, can it recover the cost?
"It's really a big production, and to be honest, I'm a little shocked."
The corners of Xiao Ming's mouth twitched, but he regained his composure in a moment, and nodded with a smile, affirming Zhou Yutang:
"But as far as the current situation is concerned, there is definitely no way to do this project, and when it is really going to be filmed in the future, you say, I can help you play it without a salary."
"I'll play it for you for free, too."
Da Meiyuan also expressed her willingness to support.
Putting aside everything else, if this 150 million TV series is really filmed, it will really be the ceiling in domestic entertainment TV dramas.
If you dare to dream, then we will dare to draw cakes to support you, and it is impossible to achieve it anyway.
"Okay, then I'll remember."
Zhou Yutang also smiled, he himself knew that it was not realistic at the moment.
How many more years can you wait?
He felt that with his own speed of development, he might not be hopeless.
The three of them drank red wine and listened to music, and the atmosphere was quite good.
The main Huang Xiaoming has high emotional intelligence, and Zhou Yutang is also very good at socializing, which makes Da Meiyuan laugh and tremble.
Talk about the gossip in the circle, talk about the prospects of the industry, who is soaring, whose salary is downgraded, which newcomer the company has signed to be ready to support, and who has intercepted whose cake.
It made Zhou Yutang hear a lot of top-level news.
What is the secret of a certain boss in the Beijing circle, and the stories of several people in the Sidan Shuangbing.
Stimulate!
Quite exciting.
In fact, the reason for the tearing of the entertainment industry is very simple, in the final analysis, it is all interests.
Those who are in the middle or bottom may not feel it, because the resources they can access are also limited, but when they sit in the position of top stars, competition is indispensable.
After all, the most delicious cake in the entire entertainment industry is so big, whether it is top film and television resources, fashion resources or business resources, they all have to compete.
If you can get these top resources, that is the real benefit that can bring fame and real money.
It is said that blocking people's money is like killing their parents, and tens of millions of dollars at this stage are really enough to tear people's faces.
The most classic is Sidan Shuangbing, and the show is full of firepower, all kinds of tearing.
Somehow talked about emotional issues, Gao Yuanyuan shook her red wine glass and asked:
"Xiao Ming, your career is so successful now, have you ever considered personal feelings?"
Zhou Yutang knew it when he heard it.
Brother Xiao Ming seems to have just broken up last year, and he can't see that Da Meiyuan is still a good sister with a warm heart, so she probably wants to introduce a girlfriend to Brother Xiao Ming.
Huang Xiaoming touched his nose and smiled chicly: "I think it's good to be single, have fun, and have no burden, it's time-consuming and laborious to fall in love, and you will get hurt in the end." ”
"Then you're going to get married, right?" Da Meiyuan glanced at her.
"I don't think I'll ever get married in my life."
Huang Xiaoming said confidently.
"Okay, then you can play by yourself, don't take Yu Tang badly, he is still a simple student."
Gao Yuanyuan saw that she couldn't convince Huang Xiaoming, so she had no choice but to say.
She felt that compared to Huang Xiaoming, her younger brother Zhou Yutang, who she had just met, was like a blank sheet of paper.
"Sister Yuanyuan, you see people so accurately."
Zhou Yutang smiled innocently: "I have been a perfect score every time I have been in the ideological and moral test since I was a child. ”
Don't look at Brother Xiao Ming's thick eyebrows and big eyes, he has a righteous face, and he plays very flowery, and there are often gossip media who take photos of him going to a nightclub to have a good look with the young lady of the young model.
However, now he is still sober in the world, and he doesn't want to get married.
As for the future, who knows what will happen?
"Xiaotang is indeed very simple, dedicated to a career, men should be like this, with a career, what kind of woman will not have in the future?"
Huang Xiaoming was shrewd, and instantly transferred his firepower to Gao Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, don't talk about me, what about yourself, how about that music talent?" ”
Come on, everyone hurts each other.
Gao Yuanyuan: "......"
Da Meiyuan didn't speak, but just drank the red wine in the cup.
Needless to say, it's all in the wine.
After the bitter wine entered, her heart ached, and Da Meiyuan's eyes were a little blurred and sad.
"Actually, my expectations for a relationship are also very simple, that is, I want to find someone I love and love me to be with, and then get married, but why is it so difficult?"
Gao Yuanyuan sighed in distress, poured another glass of wine, and continued to drink it all.
"Come on, come on, don't talk about these bad things, let's toast together."
Huang Xiaoming saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and he didn't output anymore, so he immediately poured wine.
Zhou Yutang also accompanied Da Meiyuan to drink a few glasses to soothe his emotions.
Then we talked about work, Huang Xiaoming just finished filming "The Deer and Ding Ji", and "New Shanghai Beach" will be broadcast soon, and there are several other film projects in his hand to discuss.
Gao Yuanyuan was a little envious: "Alas, now everyone in the circle says that my acting skills are not good, no one is looking for me to film, and the script sent to me is like a big fool, I don't even bother to connect, this life is really boring." ”
After the emotional injury, Da Meiyuan has the feeling of a melancholy beauty.
Huang Xiaoming nodded at Zhou Yutang: "Then you ask Xiaotang to help you tailor a script, my younger brother is very talented, Zeng Li is his popular play." ”
"Brother Xiao Ming, don't be kidding, my studio has just started, and what I do is low-cost production, where can I invite a big coffee like Sister Yuanyuan."
Zhou Yutang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It's not an exaggeration.
Da Meiyuan is now also a first-line female star in the circle under the Sidan Double Ice, and she got a salary of several million yuan when she filmed Heaven and Dragon Slayer, which was a few years ago, and now the salary for a single episode is at least 150,000 yuan.
"As long as the script is good, I can reduce the salary."
Gao Yuanyuan sighed faintly: "I haven't been able to receive interesting roles recently, so I can only act in dramas." ”
Although Da Meiyuan's acting skills are more casual, she still has a bit of artistic pursuit in her bones.
This can be seen from her acting career, she accepts commercial films that make money, but literary films like "Qinghong" also accept.
"Then depending on fate, maybe one day you will meet a good script."
As he was talking, Huang Xiaoming's phone rang again, and this was the fifth time he answered the phone tonight.
"Hey, Mr. Wang, what's the matter?"
Huang Xiaoming held a red wine glass in one hand, picked it up with the other and listened, "The director from Xiangjiang?" What project? Uh-huh, okay, somewhere, I'll go right over, that's all. ”
After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaoming put down the red wine glass in his hand, and said slightly apologetically: "Xiaotang, Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, a director in Xiangjiang came to talk about cooperation, I want to go over to accompany me." ”
"Xiaotang, please take care of Yuanyuan."
"Yes, Brother Xiao Ming should be careful on the road."
Zhou Yutang nodded, not surprised.
Huang Xiaoming is now very close to Huayi's two presidents, and the news that he is about to jump to Huayi is no longer a secret in the circle, and it is almost just an official announcement.
After Huang Xiaoming left, there were only two people left in the box.
Gao Yuanyuan drank some wine, seemed to be a little warm, brushed her hair casually, held her cheeks and smiled: "Brother Yu Tang, tell me if you have a book suitable for my sister?" ”
The wine swelled up, and a touch of rouge flashed on the snow cheeks, making the pure eyes and bright teeth more delicate.
Looking at the expectation in his bright eyes, Zhou Yutang shook his head slightly, and was about to speak, but there seemed to be a soft and tactful voice echoing in his mind:
"I just want to find someone I love and love me to be with and get married, but why is it so difficult?"
