Chapter 80: Proud Must Be Happy [Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass]

Zhou Yutang is really thinking about changing cars.

The main thing is that the final payment from the TV station has also been called.

Coupled with his miscellaneous income from South Korea's gold + new book royalties + commercial performance + salary screenwriter income + song ringtones some time ago, after deducting taxes and subtracting various investments, the studio still has nearly 7 million funds on its books.

When the first round of sales of the drama "Let's Get Married" is sold, there will be at least a few million in the account by then.

Zhou Yutang is not a person who can't enjoy it, if he has money, he has to improve his living conditions.

The initial intention was to buy a Land Rover first, and then use the Passat as a bus for the studio.

The car was not arranged, and the house was negotiated first.

The homeowner named Gao Mei came back from abroad a few days ago and made an appointment with Zhou Yutang to meet with the intermediary.

"Zhou Yutang!"

Gao Mei looked slightly surprised and said, "I know you, to be honest, I didn't expect you to buy my house." ”

She originally thought that the person who could spend nearly two million to buy her own house at one time should be a middle-aged man with a successful career, but she really didn't expect it to be a young man in his 20s.

And this young man is still Zhou Yutang, who has been hot in the entertainment industry recently.

Although Gao Mei was curious, she would not go to explore Zhou Yutang's privacy in person, she only said that she would take a photo later, and Zhou Yutang readily agreed.

The communication between the two sides was very smooth.

Gao Mei was transferred to New Zealand to work, and the family was ready to settle there, seeing that the housing prices in the capital fell slightly this year, experts said that there would be a continuous downward trend, she was very business-minded, and decisively sold the house in Beijing.

In order to avoid trouble, Zhou Yutang specially found a reliable real estate agent to help deal with it.

As soon as the money was sold, the contract was signed, and the transfer procedures were completed quickly.

The deal is done.

Touching the key in his pocket, Zhou Yutang felt a little emotional.

One of my goals when I first started college was achieved.

Since then, he has a foothold in the capital, but the apartment he rented a year ago has not expired after signing a two-year contract, and he has not returned it.

Keep it as a spare tire, mainly depending on the itinerary, where it is convenient to live.

According to Zhou Yutang's expectations, a house is far from enough.

The cunning rabbit still has three caves, if he wants not to overturn, he will at least buy a few more houses in the capital.

Well, there's still a long way to go.

…………………………

"Uncle Wu, I grew up watching Captain Xiaohu."

"Ah Tang, don't always call me uncle, I'm really not that old."

In the crew of "Those Years", Thunderbolt Tiger chatted with Zhou Yutang, and when it came to age, he looked at Zhou Yutang speechlessly.

"It's not old, it's less than twenty years older than me."

“.”

Wu Qilong's expression twitched.

Zhou Yutang hugged Wu Qilong familiarly, and said with a smile: "Just kidding, don't mind, this time it will trouble Brother Long." ”

The two of them are also familiar with each other to make this kind of joke.

Thunderbolt Tiger is a living fossil who debuted in the last century and has been mixed in the entertainment industry for many years, and is a contemporary of Zhou Zhengping.

"Just make a cameo, little meaning."

Wu Qilong has a good relationship with Tang Film and Television, and Zhou Yutang found the Thunderbolt Tiger through Cai Yinong.

His cameo role in this play is the school girl Liu Jiayi in the last wedding scene, and the middle-aged wealthy businessman who finally married.

Realistic, no problems at all.

In reality, most of the school girls are also married to those rich businessmen who make hundreds of millions of people, or the sons of wealthy businessmen.

Wu Qilong is still very interesting, and he didn't confiscate the money for this cameo, knowing that it was a project invested by Zhou Yutang, he was very polite to him.

Zhou Yutang is naturally happy to see it, although the peak of the Little Tigers is no longer at its peak, but there is still a basic market of popularity in the bend province.

In the future, when the movie is released in the province, a little hype will increase the box office a little.

"Ah Tang, I heard that you have a good relationship with Mr. Zhang of National Film and Television?"

The two chatted for a while, Wu Qilong inadvertently mentioned this topic, and Zhou Yutang understood in his heart that this brother wanted to develop in the mainland film and television industry in recent years.

That's right, too.

Recently, what has been popular in Bend Province is a bloody idol drama in which a rich and handsome man falls in love with a poor little girl.

What is popular now is Luo Zhixiang and Huo Jianhua, idol students, Thunderbolt Tiger will be 40 years old at this time, and he can't get a suitable role there, thinking about going to the mainland to make money.

"Well, I have the opportunity to introduce Uncle Zhang to Brother Long."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said casually.

"Ah Tang, thank you, it's righteous enough!"

The Thunderbolt Tiger is also grateful.

Don't really look at Zhou Yutang has only filmed a drama since his debut, this "I Want to See You" has also exploded in the ratings of Wan Province, according to Wu Qilong, there are many Taiwanese girls over there who are very obsessed with him.

Wu Qilong has a lot of relationship with the Tang people, and he also knows a lot of inside information about Zhou Yutang.

are all old fritters who have been mixed for decades, of course, they know the truth of multiple friends and multiple roads, so in front of Zhou Yutang, he didn't put any old-timers on the shelf, but consciously made friends.

was chatting with the Thunderbolt Tiger about the deed, Liu Shishi came over and patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder: "Why are you still chatting here?" Sister Fen is looking for you, and Brother Long is also there. ”

"Shi Shi, I'll have a kiss with Ah Tang later."

Thunderbolt nodded, quipping.

He didn't have any role, so he just put on makeup and dressed up as a middle-aged wealthy businessman to stand on the stage and watch.

"Well, thank you, Brother Long, I'll work hard."

Liu Shishi secretly glanced at Zhou Yutang, and saw that he calmly threw a mouth-clearing lozenge into his mouth, and also stretched out his little hand: "Give me a piece too." ”

What will be filmed later is the last shot left in the whole play.

is the kiss scene between Liu Shishi and Zhou Yutang.

It is a picture imagined by Zhou Yutang in the play, aiming to contrast the ideal beautiful youth with reality and have an impact on the audience.

Zhou Yutang behaved very sophisticated, and it was not the first time he had kissed Liu Shishi, and Wen Muye, who was sitting on the monitor, was dumbfounded.

If they were all filmed like this, this scene would be completed in less than a month.

"Click!"

Lin Yufen, who still came over, calmed down, and called Zhou Yutang to come over to see the effect and confirm that there was no problem.

The main reason is that the two have tried many scenes in private, and the cooperation is smooth at this time, and this scene was only shot once.

This is the last shot of this play, and Zhou Yutang is also in a pretty good mood, shouting:

"Ok, it's done!"

Hearing what Zhou Yutang said from his mouth, it was actually a matter of an instant.

But for the actors, it is like a free-falling stone falling into the water, causing countless ripples.

First there was a sense of relief and relief, and then a sense of loss slowly began to spread in my heart.

Zhou Yutang watched the crew members excitedly high-five and hug each other, but there were not many waves in his heart.

He has already acted in two plays, and when he finished it for the first time, he still felt a little bit in his heart, and he wanted to make a splash.

When "Sword and Fairy III" was completed, he was very calm, silently adjusted his state, and came out of the role.

It's also a progressive process.

However, the play "Those Years" is the first time he stands from the director's point of view, and it has some novel feelings.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

He stood up and clapped his hands.

The eyes of the audience were focused on Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang cleared his throat and said: "Don't get excited, go back and clean up, hold a finale banquet in Xiaoxiang Mansion in the evening, no one will be absent, don't get drunk tonight!" ”

This is a relatively high-standard hotel in Beijing, and it can be regarded as a good arrangement.

"Long live Director Zhou!"

Everyone in the crew howled at the top of their voices, and those with ribbon salutes in their hands were all kinds of wild.

In the past more than a month of shooting, everyone's spirit is in a tense state, and now when I hear the finale, I have a sense of relief and I urgently need to vent it.

"Yu Tang, the reporters outside the crew have arrived, let's get ready."

Li Shuang came over to say hello, and Zhou Yutang also nodded slightly, and attended with the main creative team.

"Director Zhou, how do you feel about being a director for the first time?"

"Director Zhou, maybe when it will be released?"

"Director Zhou, what are the next projects of Jiangdong Studio?"

Lei Datou looked at the long guns and short cannons gathered in front of Zhou Yutang, and couldn't help but secretly speak.

Looking at Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun, as well as Liu Shishi and others, they are very calm, as if they have long been accustomed to such scenes.

Director Zhou is indeed a cow.

Lei Datou admired indescribably in his heart.

Zhou Yutang is younger than him and debuted later than him, but he has already made a career that many people can't do for more than ten years.

Some people are destined to ride the dust.

"Be quiet."

Zhou Yutang knocked on the table, took the microphone and said slowly: "Come one by one." ”

"It's the first time I've been a director, it's a lot of fun, my team has helped me a lot, and the crew is full of very good actors, it's a pleasure to work with them, and I personally have a lot of confidence in this film."

"When will it be released? It's hard to say, I still have to do the post-production, but it should wait until the New Year, please cheer me a lot, I believe this film will not disappoint everyone. ”

"Plans for the studio? The studio has invested in a TV series, which will start broadcasting in a while, and there is also a campus youth drama in the plan, and the two leading actors are sitting next to me."

Zhou Yutang coped with such a scene more and more easily, and took Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun to show their faces.

This is an artist from his own studio, and the traffic must be arranged.

After answering the main questions, he gave the opportunity to Liu Shishi, as well as Lei Jiayin and others.

The press conference ended in half an hour, and it had already been arranged in advance, and several business vehicles were waiting outside, and there were still projects after the finale banquet tonight

Zhou Yutang and assistant director Lin Yufen and Wen Muye were in a car, chatting along the way.

"Sister Fen, Senior Brother Wen, thanks to your help this time, the filming went so smoothly."

Zhou Yutang spoke, and a big red envelope was stuffed into it.

Senior Brother Wen is an honest man, a little overwhelmed, and was directly stunned.

This red envelope is really big.

Looking at this thickness, there are at least 20,000.

Lin Yufen, who has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, was also taken aback, and hurriedly excused herself: "Ah Tang, what are you doing?" Take it back quickly, I came to help this time, and I also collected the money, and it is not in accordance with the rules to collect the money again. ”

"Yes, Yu Tang, take it back, Mr. Tian introduced me to participate in this film project, it is also a rare opportunity for me, what will I do if I collect your money again?"

Wen Muye suddenly came back to his senses and followed the resignation.

"Senior Brother Wen, you signed the Jiangdong Studio, you are your own person, don't be polite to me."

Wen Muye had already signed a contract with Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio when he was in the crew.

was originally a single, but I heard that I could participate in more film projects if I signed a contract with the studio, and I was directly won by Zhou Yutang one night during the filming.

"Thank you, Yu Tang."

Wen Muye was also in high spirits, grateful in his heart, and felt that he was with the right person, and 20,000 yuan was really not a small amount for a student like him.

"Sister Fen, this is my little care, celebrating the smooth shooting, everyone has it, and Brother Tao has accepted it."

Lin Yufen was still pushing, Zhou Yutang pushed the red envelope back with a smile, and said in an extremely sincere tone: "Sister Fen's ability, I know, this cooperation is very pleasant, I heard that your contract with Tang Film and Television will expire in the next year, right?" ”

"Hmm."

Lin Yufen glanced at him and understood in her heart.

Zhou Yutang wants to dig up his past.

"Sister Fen, are you interested in coming over to help me do things?"

Zhou Yutang said in a sincere tone: "I have a youth-type drama in my hand, and the script I made myself will be launched after a while, and I have not been able to find a suitable director. ”

In the face of Zhou Yutang's very sincere solicitation, Lin Yufen was still very moved.

On the one hand.

is because her current status in Tang Film and Television is a little embarrassing.

She can be regarded as an apprentice brought out by Li Guoli, and director Li Guoli is a shareholder of Tang Film and Television, and her own ability is very strong.

With him, the major projects of Tang Film and Television are generally led by director Li Guoli.

Lin Yufen either served as his deputy, or did some small projects, or took over the work outside.

The film "Liao Zhaiqi Woman" filmed by Liu Shishi last year was a project directed by Lin Yufen.

After working together during this time, Lin Yufen also has a deep understanding of Zhou Yutang's ability.

The young man runs his own studio and has been involved in three projects so far.

The first project is the hit drama "I Want to See You", and the second project is "Let's Get Married", which has begun to promote and build momentum, and it is determined to be broadcast on CCTV and Hunan Satellite TV at the same time.

The third project is the just-completed film "Those Years".

Outrageous.

Lin Yufen has been in the circle for so many years, and she has never seen a powerful newcomer like Zhou Yutang.

The most outrageous thing is that these three projects are all scripts made by Zhou Yutang himself.

What does this mean?

It shows that he has the ability to produce high-quality film and television cultural content, which happens to be lacking in many film and television companies.

The icing on the cake has always been as good as sending charcoal in the snow, as long as you go over and wait for Zhou Yutang to take off in the future, you will be a proper hero, and even a big director who can become a master in the future.

But when a person has been in the comfort zone for a long time, it is not so easy to let her break out of the circle.

After all, Lin Yufen has also learned a lot in Tang Film and Television, and she has initially gained a firm foothold in this circle.

So she was moved, but if she wanted to make a decision to switch to Zhou Yutang's studio immediately, weigh the pros and cons, and think twice, she still couldn't make up her mind.

Zhou Yutang's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and saw through Lin Yufen's entanglement, Wen Yan smiled: "Don't worry, Sister Fen, you can go back and think about it slowly." ”

At this time, Zhou Yutang was still able to think about himself, and Lin Yufen only felt warm in her heart: "Ah Tang, thank you for being considerate of me." I have plans to come out and do it, but I have been cooperating with the Tang people for several years, Director Li is kind to me, and I can't just leave, give me a little time, let me think about it, I hope you can understand. ”

"I know that Sister Fen is a person who values affection."

Zhou Yutang said with a smile: "If there are any difficulties at that time, just mention it, I have a good relationship with Mr. Cai and Director Li, anyway, the door of Jiangdong Studio will always be open for you, Sister Fen." ”

Having said that, everyone knows in their hearts that it is nothing more than a buffer time.

That's the reality.

If you want to resign from a company that you have worked for for several years and move to another company that pays better, you don't have to decide with a pat on the head, and you have to sort out a lot of relationships.

got out of the car and asked Sister Fen to go to the box first to watch, and Zhou Yutang made a call downstairs: "Hey, Brother Tao, red envelopes?" You're welcome, you're still telling me this? ”

"Everyone will be their own people in the future, Sister Fen, you have to help me talk about it."

…………………………

At the finale banquet, the planning was staggered.

During this time, all the emotions that have accumulated in my heart are vented, and I am very happy.

Zhou Yutang, as a director, naturally became the target of toasting.

Lei Datou took the lead in coaxing a toast, and then the two brothers Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong also followed.

Zhou Yutang is in a good mood today, and he will not refuse to come.

First, the movie was completed, and he was very satisfied with this painstaking work.

The other is digging the foot of the wall.

No, it succeeded in borrowing Jingzhou.

Song Xiaotao of the Tang Dynasty has already nodded and agreed, and Lin Yufen should be able to win it.

Not surprisingly, the studio will add several generals in a row.

After drinking, Zhou Yutang only remembered going to the toilet and vomiting once, and then was carried into the car in a daze.

The pale golden glimmer of the morning light shone through the glass window.

Warmed up the whole room.

Zhou Yutang opened his eyes and saw that he was lying on the bed in the bedroom he rented a house, and checked the integrity of his clothes for the first time, there was no pain behind him, and there were no female underwear, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, there were no surprises.

I was a little indulgent last night, and I should drink in moderation in the future.

"Are you awake?"

Zhou Yutang, who was making up his mind to quit drinking, suddenly heard a voice from the kitchen.

"Shi Shi, why are you here?"

Zhou Yutang got up and stretched, his movements frozen.

I reviewed it in my mind.

It seems that the fine dog and Brother Long were drunk last night, and it was Sister Shuang and Liu Shishi who brought them home?

So what's going on with Liu Shishi?

"Haha!"

Liu Shishi, who was still busy over there, still wearing an apron on his body, turned his head to look at Zhou Yutang with a confused expression, as if he was still a little confused, and couldn't help but chuckle: "You and Director Wen and Erha them, they all drank too much last night, and Sister Shuang and I took a lot of effort to bring you back, she said that she left beforehand, and I will take care of you for one night." ”

"I didn't play well last night."

Zhou Yutang rubbed the corners of his forehead, smelled the special fragrance from the kitchen, and said happily: "Okay, I can also make instant noodles." ”

Looking at Liu Shishi's hair tied into a ponytail, his sleeves are rolled up to his arms, and he also wears an apron to look like a professional chef, in fact, it is to cook instant noodles, and at most add an egg.

"It's good to eat some, don't be disgusted with this or that!"

Liu Shishi glared at Zhou Yutang angrily.

"Why don't you go downstairs and buy some? There is a breakfast shop opened by an aunt outside the community, and it tastes good. ”

"I'm going to go down from your house like this? What if there's entertainment squatting? ”

Liu Shishi began to rush people: "Go and brush your teeth and wash your face, otherwise you are not allowed to eat my noodles!" ”
