Chapter 103 The layout of the industry, the screenwriting department, the uproar

"It's true."

Wang Fengqin knew her son well and knew that he would not joke on this kind of issue.

Zhou Zhengping, who was over there, couldn't calm down after all, took the phone from Ms. Wang Fengqin's hand, and asked, "Xiaotang, what's going on?" How did you make so much money? ”

Zhou Yutang's parents have no concept of the entertainment industry at all, and they thought that Zhou Yutang would be great if he entered the entertainment industry and made three or five million a year.

It's also said on the Internet, a big star will only be paid one or two million for a movie, and I heard my son admit that his net worth is 8 figures.

Zhou Zhengping and Wang Fengqin were stunned.

That's tens of millions, and ordinary people can't earn it for a lifetime.

Zhou Zhengping's first reaction was a sinking in his heart.

He was worried that Zhou Yutang used some methods that touched the law to make the money.

Zhou Yutang also felt the old father's worries and explained: "Dad, Mom, have you watched the TV series "Let's Get Married" that was still on the Suzhou Provincial TV not long ago? ”

The first round of this drama was jointly broadcast by Hunan Provincial Satellite TV and CCTV, and the second round was won by the magic capital and Suzhou Province.

"It's still on TV."

Zhou Zhengping glanced at the TV in the living room, which was replaying the TV series.

"I wrote this script, and then it happened that a senior brother from the film academy took a fancy to it, and he wanted to make it into a TV series, so I invested some money, but I didn't expect to be bought by CCTV and Hunan Satellite TV, and made a lot of money."

"This movie was released at the beginning of the year, wasn't I so busy that I didn't even go home at that time, I ran for almost a month of publicity, and in the end the box office of the movie was okay, I invested a part, which was a small profit.

And then add my own manuscript fee and miscellaneous income such as salary, and I almost made eight figures, but it is not as exaggerated as it is said on the Internet. ”

Zhou Yutang hid a little.

Be prepared to reveal it to your family slowly.

Otherwise, I am really afraid that Ms. Wang and Comrade Lao Zhou will not be able to sleep at night.

There are indeed many talented people in Tianya these years, but that person can only deduce a part, the investment contracts are all confidential, and there is no way to count how much money Zhou Yutang has earned from his personal commercial performances.

Zhou Yutang's real net worth is at least more than 60 million, which is only a lot more than the number that broke the news.

"You make money, and you must not be ambiguous in paying taxes."

It took Zhou Zhengping a while to digest the result, and said with difficulty.

"Dad, don't worry, my studio has found a professional financial manager to take care of it, and the taxes that should be paid are not less."

Zhou Yutang laughed softly: "It won't be long before I can receive the pennant from my hometown government." ”

"What pennants, what's going on?"

"That's right, during the Chinese New Year, my studio negotiated with the local education department in Yancheng and donated 1 million, which was mainly used for the renewal of school buildings and the purchase of books in backward areas, as well as the daily necessities and tuition and miscellaneous expenses to help students from poor families. When the time comes, Dad, you can help me watch it. ”

"Good, good, good! Well done! ”

Zhou Zhengping just heard that Zhou Yutang's net worth of tens of millions was not so excited, and his mood finally calmed down again.

Su Province is an economic powerhouse, but there are still very difficult places below.

Zhou Yutang can not forget his hometown after making money, Zhou Zhengping feels very relieved.

Chatting and chatting, Lao Zhou began to make old mistakes and turned on the education mode: "Xiaotang, it's not easy for you to do things now, remember to think twice before doing anything, sometimes take a small step back, take a few big steps, even if you suffer a small loss in front of you, just know it in your heart."

Zhou Yutang should be with him for a while, and after a few more words of advice, he finally hung up the phone.

For the online store, Zhou Yutang invited talents who are professional in e-commerce operations to help operate.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars were invested in the early stage of last year, but it was soon profitable, and the net profit last year was more than 1.8 million.

Because the version of the clothes is self-designed, the scale was still small last year, and then Zhou Yutang is ready to let Wang Fengqin prepare to rent a factory of about 200 square meters as a pattern-making base.

Then find a reliable clothing processing factory to process the clothes designed by yourself and invite designers.

The scale is expanded, and the employment must also be increased, so Wang Fengqin has to ask a few more honest female college students to help with things.

Zhou Yutang understands his parents, instead of giving them money directly, it is better to make arrangements and let them enjoy their lives.

In his expectation, according to this model, the quality of life of parents should be much better than before.

If you don't have any worries, you can make better progress.

…………………………

In the next period of time, Zhou Yutang mainly focused on the preliminary preparation of the crew of "Latent".

There is also the busy interviewing new screenwriters and forming the screenwriting department of the studio.

The current Zhou Yutang is no longer the original nameless and single-minded Nortel Xiao Zhou.

The preparation of TV dramas, commercial performances, fashion magazine shooting, and time to accompany Da Meiyuan, who has just returned from travel, to exchange art, and to chat with several girls at night

Really busy.

Most of the dinner can be pushed.

There are some dinners that should be gone or must be gone.

Others said, Zhang Guoli invited him to dinner, so he had to give this face.

Xu Jinglei promoted herself not long ago, and it is not easy to shirk this time.

Sister Yu came back to ask him to talk about the script, so she had to go.

When "Those Years" was released, Sister Yu was still filming, she left the crew and went to the cinema to watch the movie alone, and sent a congratulatory message to Zhou Yutang, which was very interesting.

During this time, she often communicated with Zhou Yutang about the plot, and when the filming progress was in trouble, she made an appointment to go back to the capital in April to talk to him.

Zhou Yutang felt that his time management had been done very well, but it was still not enough.

The matter of writing a script has to be put aside for the time being.

Zhou Yutang is not short of inspiration and creativity.

The most important thing is how to enrich these ideas and story synopsis into a complete story that can move people, this stage can only rely on time to grind, one by one details to pile up, not a pat on the head, hundreds of thousands of words will come out.

It is imminent to set up a screenwriting department, first recruit a few new screenwriters with training value, control the general direction of the work by yourself, hand over the specific story script details to the studio's screenwriting team to handle, and finally decide the final success of the work by yourself.

Most of the well-known screenwriters in the industry are inseparable from two paths for development.

The first way is to bind and cooperate with a first-line director, as long as there are excellent works, reputation and money are not a problem, and then bring apprentices, but with apprentices also depends on the qualifications and understanding of apprentices, and those who are teachers usually keep a hand.

The second way is to be your own boss, which is the studio model that Zhou Yutang is taking now.

The two paths lead to the same end.

The key is to tap and absorb some down-to-earth, hardworking, obedient and capable newcomer screenwriters.

These rookie screenwriters have a very low status when they first enter the industry, and they don't even need to give any signatures to the completion of their works, and many rookie screenwriters also acquiesce to this rule for the sake of experience.

The basic salary is paid in shifts, and there are commissions and bonuses when the project is completed.

There may not be much benefit in the short term, but in the long run, it is the key to Jiangdong film and television culture to become bigger and stronger.

The higher the overall level of the screenwriters of the studio, the higher the level of the studio's screenwriting members, the higher the level of high-quality scripts in the future, and the larger the volume of projects to do, the better the development of the studio will be.

It can also cultivate more newcomers, which has a positive impact on the film and television environment of the entire domestic entertainment circle.

Filming high-quality film and television dramas is tantamount to raising the audience's aesthetic standards in disguise.

In the future, the audience will also have something to say, the Jiangdong film and television culture is all high-quality dramas, what kind of hanging company do you step on the horse, and do some bad dramas to fool the audience.

Is there still a conscience?

So what to do?

Volume!

The film and television companies of domestic entertainment have rolled up for me, and if I can't make high-quality content, I will be slowly eliminated by the market.

Of course, this is only Zhou Yutang's ideal situation, and how to implement it step by step.

There is really no shortage of good actors in China.

What is lacking is a screenwriter who adapts a good story into a script, and a director who makes a good script.

As long as you grasp the golden key of "high-quality content", then Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong film and television culture can completely ride the dust in this circle.

In the early stage, the news of recruiting screenwriters under the guise of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture really attracted many people to submit resumes.

The main ones are aimed at Zhou Yutang's golden signboard.

Don't look at Zhou Yutang's short debut, but the works he took out are very weighty.

The debut of "I Want to See You" became a big hit, making him one of the most popular idols in domestic entertainment in one fell swoop.

followed by "Let's Get Married", which set off a frenzy of marriage and love dramas, and several marriage and love-themed TV series appeared on the market at once this year.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", elected as the four beauties of the world, recognized as an ancient male god, and then a "Those Years", which became popular all over the Taiwan Strait and three places, and the coffee position soared in situ.

Li Shuang has a strong ability to work, and selected a few people from hundreds of resumes and sent them to Zhou Yutang's mailbox.

Two of them are senior sisters in the literature department of the film school, and one is a screenwriter.

There is a senior sister in the literature department named Zhu Lingyu, whose writing skills are very good, and she published her works under the banyan tree a few years ago, which was recommended by Mr. Yao.

The other one is a resume that you submitted.

is also the senior sister of the film academy, her name is Bao Jingjing, which makes Zhou Yutang's eyes shine.

This sister has published her own on the Internet, and Zhou Yutang has roughly read it and has a high evaluation.

The writing is quite good, the emotions are delicate, and it is estimated that he is a good hand at writing the emotional genre of youth.

There is also a screenwriter with a screen name called Flat Layer.

It can be seen that he has a good talent, he has won the second prize of the National New Concept Essay Contest twice, and he has also been Guo Xiaosi's gunman, and his advantage is that he has a big brain.

At this time, Guo Xiaosi was already quite famous in the cultural circle, and he set up his own studio to make magazines, and even Chen Da Poet invited him to adapt the movie "Wuji".

are all talents, so Li Shuang arranged an interview.

It is also the Four Seasons Hall of the Film Academy.

The most important thing is that it is close to the school and Zhou Yutang's studio.

The first to arrive was the flat floor, his real name was Meng Haoran, a little fat man wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and he looked very happy.

After a simple greeting, Zhou Yutang asked with a little curiosity: "You are a member of Xiaosi Studio, you should also be regarded as a veteran, why do you want to come to my side?" ”

"I've been a gunman for that guy for a few years, and I don't have fart treatment, not even a signed work, and I talked to him last year about wanting to add a bonus, and he told me to calm down and not only care about the immediate interests. I'm just running away with a bucket. ”

“.”

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched, and the whole person choked.

It's good and powerful, and for very good reason.

We continued to talk for a while and got to know each other better.

This flat layer can be used as a gun for Guo Xiaosi, his writing skills are quite solid, and his brain is very big, and the treatment conditions are finalized after negotiating, this is the first employee of the screenwriting department of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio.

Next are the two senior sisters of the film school.

It was all their own people, and the two sides hit it off and negotiated it quickly.

Bao Jingjing is even a fan of him, and now he is still studying in film school, and he is here for Zhou Yutang.

In the face of Bao Jingjing's request for a group photo, Zhou Yutang also met them one by one.

These are all hard-working old scalpers in the future of the studio, and they must be treated gently.

At present, three people are tentatively set as a group, which is enough for the current scale of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio.

Zhou Yutang sent the first task on the same day, which was the second and third seasons of "Together Through the Window".

The basic story synopsis and character settings have been completed, and then the outline is given, so that the three new screenwriters of the studio can try to complete the whole story.

Early April.

The news that Koto Studio was going to do a new project caused an uproar.

However, I heard that it was a spy war drama, and many people were shocked.

Didn't Zhou Yutang start out as a youth genre film, how did he start a TV series with the main theme?

However, within a few days, the book "Latent" aroused the interest of big names in the circle.

Sun Honglei, who just won the Magnolia Emperor last year, participated in Chen Shiren's movie "Mei Lanfang", learned the script of "Latent" from a friend, and relied on a lot of relationships to find Zhou Yutang's side.

He wanted to play the actor Yu Zecheng, and he also took the initiative to reduce the salary by half, which was quite sincere.

Sun Honglei is currently a domestic first-line actor, and the ruthless Liu Huaqiang in "Conquest" is also a classic image on the screen, and now he is probably seeking transformation.

Zhou Yutang was very moved by Sun Honglei's request, and finally declined.

Although Sun Honglei's coffee position is bigger, Zhang Songwen is not bad, Zhou Yutang promised him before, and he can't be dishonest in doing things.

As for Sun Honglei, I can only say I'm sorry, maybe there will be a chance to cooperate in the future.

After this turmoil, the drama "Latent" became famous in the circle before filming started.

The latest production of the gold medal screenwriter Zhou Yutang, who has never missed a beat in the industry, even Magnolia is not paid to act.

Zhou Yutang received a lot of phone calls, and he was overwhelmed, and finally lost the casting work to Senior Brother Lin Liang.

Soon, the crew's preliminary preparations were completed, and several main actors had been determined.

Zhang Songwen plays the male protagonist Yu Zecheng, Zeng Li's heroine Wang Cuiping, and Zu Feng's teacher Li Ya.

This is the person who was decided as soon as the project was established.

National first-class actor Feng Enhe plays Wu Jingzhong, and veteran actor Wu Gang plays Lu Qiaoshan.

The supporting roles with few remaining scenes are decided through auditions.

The global press conference of "The King of Kung Fu" was held in Beijing.

This super production doesn't need hype at all, it is born with its own popularity.

Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie + Big Brother Cheng Long + Tianxian Liu Yifei + Li Lianhua Such a top lineup is simply invincible.

However, Hua Yi was playing with marketing, and slowly released the main actors.

Zhou Yutang didn't go to the press conference, but last night Miss Liu reminded him to invite him to dinner, and when he saw the news on the portal on a whim, he watched the live broadcast on the computer in the studio.

The embrace, which spanned 15 years between the eldest brother Chenglong and the kung fu emperor Li Lianjie, instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

Some undisciplined media asked, who is the king of kung fu, and the two bigwigs reacted quickly, and they all pushed Yuan Baye.

Liu Yifei was wearing a white dress, a bit of a fairy, and even Li Lianhua, the first sister of Huayi on the side, was about to become a foil.

When Cheng Long was interviewed, he did not hesitate to praise: "Liu Yifei is beautiful and speaks English well, and the most important advantage is that she is young and very professional."

Zhou Yutang couldn't help laughing.

Translated, Liu Tianxian wants to have good looks and good looks, and he has to have good acting skills.

Well, in addition to appearance, you can also add attitude, Zhou Yutang personally certified, Miss Liu really worked hard for this drama.

Li Lianjie also gave a high evaluation: "Liu Yifei will definitely be another star who can become popular in Hollywood after Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi."

Immediately afterwards, director Rob Minkoff also gave affirmation.

All kinds of rainbow farts.

It was Liu Yifei's turn, and some troublesome media asked directly: "At the beginning of this year, your rumored boyfriend Zhou Yutang had a movie with a box office of nearly 260 million across the Taiwan Strait, what do you think?" ”

"We are very good friends."

Liu Tianxian rolled his eyes very vaguely.

Zhou Yutang was also shot while lying down, and as soon as the press conference ended, he received a call from the girl Shu Zhan:

"Yu Tang, please have a big meal, Sissi said I'll come later."

"After the press conference, she won't participate in Huayi's cocktail party?"

"Sissi said no, I'm waiting for your dinner."

“.”

Zhou Yutang had no choice but to explain his work, and chose a Korean restaurant where two girls had been planting grass for a long time.

I first called and booked a private room, and drove off.

said that he was waiting for a big meal, but in fact, he hadn't seen Zhou Yutang for a long time, and his friends joked with each other.

Liu Yifei is a top actress of the new generation in domestic entertainment, with a super ability to attract money, and even Shu Zhanna is a little rich woman who acted in a lot of plays in her early years and has a lot of savings, how can she lack a meal.

"Okay, Boss Zhou, who is worth tens of millions, has changed cars. No, didn't the news say you bought a Land Rover? ”

At the door of the restaurant, as soon as he looked at his face, Shu Zhan smiled and came up to say hello.

Since that acquaintance with the Tianxian family, I usually chat in private, and after getting acquainted with Miss Shu Xuan, you will find that this is a rather upright girl with no scheming.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yutang can talk to him.

"Not worth mentioning."

Zhou Yutang said modestly: "Land Rover parking garage, the capital wants to limit the number, and I bought a big G two days ago." ”

After buying Land Rover, I thought about it later and thought that the big G was also good.

Zhou Yutang chose to do it all.
