Chapter 116 "The Wind" script, bet to win the king

Taking Zhu Jie's entry into the group "Latent" as an opportunity, Tian Ming and Zhou Yutang have also talked a lot in private in the past few months.

During the filming of "Latent", Tian Ming also came to Hengdian to visit the crew once.

Tian Ming released a considerable amount of kindness, and Zhou Yutang also intended to make friends.

After all, great men once said that you have to make a lot of friends, so that you can do things without disadvantage.

The relationship between the two quickly became closer.

Zhou Yutang pushed the boat forward to cooperate.

They are all smart people, so naturally everyone earns money together.

After private discussions, the benefits were quickly distributed.

But.

The preparation of the show The Voice takes a while.

After all, the audio equipment has to be imported from foreign countries, and the instructor also needs to communicate.

…………………………

Mid-August.

Zhou Yutang received a call from Chen Guofu about dinner.

Since the last milk tea concert, the two of them have also made several appointments, chatting about the film and television industry, and they have a deeper understanding of each other's abilities, and they feel a little bit of a year-old friend.

After going to the appointment, it was still the private club last time, but this time Huang Xiaoming was not there, only Zhou Yutang and Chen Guofu were the only two.

"Brother Chen, are you sure you're not joking?"

"How can I joke with you about this?"

Chen Guofu chuckled.

He just talked about the list of nominees for the Golden Horse Awards, which has not yet been announced this year.

Generally speaking, the registration date for the Golden Horse Awards is in June and July of each year, and the announcement of the shortlist is around October each year.

Chen Guofu's connections in Bend Province are really not blown, and he got some inside information in advance.

According to him, "Those Years" has received a lot of praise, and if there are no accidents, it is likely to get four nominations for Best New Director, Best New Actor, Best Actress, and Best Original Film Music.

The Golden Horse Awards, relatively speaking, are definitely the most authoritative awards in the Chinese film industry.

Although there will be a variety of voices in each session, and its award criteria are very niche, coupled with the special political nature between the two sides of the strait, the results of many selections are unacceptable.

But there is no way, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are not powerful, and the Golden Statue has all kinds of local protectionism, and the weight of the Golden Horse Award is very heavy in the entire Chinese film industry.

Zhou Yutang pondered for a moment, and his heart moved slightly: "Brother Chen, do you think you can win the award?" ”

"It's really hard to say, there are still variables before the final nominations are announced."

Chen Guofu chuckled: "But according to my personal experience, the Golden Horse Award has always been friendly to newcomers, and you have achieved such amazing results at the beginning stage, and you are very hopeful of winning the award." ”

That's what the old rivers and lakes say.

Foolproof.

However, since he has opened this mouth, Zhou Yutang also understands in his heart that it is probably no problem to win the award.

Bend Province is the same as Xiangjiang, the trend of the entire entertainment industry is declining, and there are no movies that can hit the box office in those bloody idol dramas, and "Those Years" also ranks first in the annual box office list of Bend Province.

"I'm not here to talk about it, there's a book, you can help me take a look."

"What book?"

Zhou Yutang took the script handed over by Chen Guofu, which read:

"The Wind"!

When he opened it, Zhou Yutang gradually immersed himself in the story.

The content of the story is probably about the Anti-Japanese War, a Wang puppet government official was killed, the head of the imperial army secret service concluded that there was an underground party inside, designed a secret trap, and locked five suspects in a closed castle on a dark and windy night, in order to find out the lurking "old ghost" inside.

"Spy war + suspense type commercial film."

Zhou Yutang flipped back and looked at it again, and nodded slightly.

Mecca's, the screenwriter is Zhang Jialu.

If Zhou Yutang is the representative of the new generation of gold medal screenwriters, then Zhang Jialu is the most prestigious gold medal screenwriter of the older generation in the industry.

"Yu Tang, what do you think of it?"

Chen Guofu poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang sighed and took a sip of tea: "This script is definitely the pinnacle of Mr. Zhang's work. ”

The story of this script is rigorous, the content is substantial, and the drama is full of tension, especially the protagonists, there is a lot of room to play, and it is indeed a good book.

"Haha!"

Chen Guofu was happy when he saw it.

He believes in Zhou Yutang's ability.

can make Zhou Yutang give such an evaluation, which proves that the script of "The Wind" is really excellent.

"Brother Chen, has the director decided?"

"This book, I'm going to take charge of it myself."

Chen Guofu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with a smile on his face.

There is also a reason why he asked Zhou Yutang to help read the script tonight, everyone in the circle knows that the script of "Latent" was changed by Zhou Yutang, and it has been highly evaluated, although this drama is still in post-production, it has become a TV series that countless people are looking forward to.

Let Zhou Yutang help watch the movie "The Wind", which is also the last insurance, to see what is missing.

"That should be stable."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

If "Latent" is the ceiling of spy war TV series, then "The Wind" can be regarded as the first commercially produced spy war movie in the history of the Celestial Empire.

Teacher Jiang Wei couldn't resist the temptation to put this story on the screen in person, and he was able to shoot "The Wind" in person, which was also Chen Guofu's dream.

Chen Guofu himself is also a director, and his skills are quite solid.

Good script + good director, no surprise, this will be one of the most anticipated movies in the mainland next year.

"The starring team has Wang Zhiwen, Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, Zhang Hanyu, and Feng Xiaogang as the producers themselves."

Zhou Yutang looked at such a lineup and was a little speechless.

An industry leader like Huayi can pull out this group of golden lineups.

"Brother Chen, don't you invite the actors over there in Xiangjiang?"

"No, the mainland lineup is not bad."

Chen Guofu's answer made Zhou Yutang look at him a few more times.

It's interesting.

In the past, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors must have played the leading roles in large-scale commercial films in the mainland, and this film is all pure mainland actors.

"By the way, Yu Tang, I still came here tonight with a mission."

Chen Guofu also said frankly: "The king always speaks, let me recruit you, as long as you nod, the role of Takeda in "The Wind" can be given to you." ”

Takeda is the head of the Japanese Army's Secret Service Division in "The Wind", and he has a lot of roles.

"Mr. Wang hasn't given up yet?"

"Not only did I not give up, but I also increased the weight, capped at 100 million, and acquired your Jiangdong Studio, on the condition that you sign Huayi for five years, get a first-line contract, plus one S-level film and television resource per year for the next three years, this is the greatest sincerity that Huayi can come up with."

is indeed very sincere, if it was at the beginning of last year, Zhou Yutang might have nodded and agreed.

But now that Jiangdong Studio is developing very strongly, and there is more of the trump card of The Voice, how can 100 million be measured?

Zhou Yutang still refused with a relaxed attitude: "Brother Chen, thank you for your kindness for me, I am still used to being alone, and I am more free to do things." ”

Huayi has been in contact with him in the past few months.

Huo Siyan always sent him messages when he had something to do, and asked him out for dinner and drinking from time to time at night, but Zhou Yutang refused on the grounds that he was too busy.

Huang Xiaoming has also looked for it a few times in private, but the two have a lot of friendship, Huang Xiaoming knows Zhou Yutang's thoughts very well, it is just a gathering between friends, and by the way, he chatted about Huayi's situation.

Huayi is planning to go public, and Mr. Wang is staring at Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong studio.

This involves an advanced way of playing in the entertainment industry.

The projects done by Jiangdong Studio are all big profits, which will have a certain effect on the stock price.

Don't look at spending 100 million yuan to smash Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio, but when the time comes, Huayi can make more money in the capital market.

"I knew this would be the outcome."

Chen Guofu smiled and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Then the role of Takeda is Xiao Ming's, what do you think of the role of Bai Xiaonian?" ”

"Bai Xiaonian? It's interesting, but I'm out of schedule this year. ”

"Forget it, let's talk about the script again."

Chen Guofu also mentioned it slightly, being able to invite a super popular actor like Zhou Yutang can also bring a lot of attention to "The Wind", but Zhou Yutang has no schedule, so he didn't insist, and there are still many actors in Huayi Company who are waiting to be fed.

After a brief chat with Chen Guofu, the dinner was dispersed.

When he returned home to share the news with Liu Shishi, Liu Shishi was a little dizzy: "Yu Tang, you mean. You mean, I could be nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards? ”

Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, commonly known as Golden Horse Actress.

Liu Shishi is very Buddhist, but when he heard that he had been nominated for the actress, his little heart still beat violently.

"It's just a possibility."

Zhou Yutang could sense Liu Shishi's rapid breathing through the phone, and said with a smile: "We'd better not get our hopes up." ”

The actress really doesn't take it casually.

It's all about the world.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Zhou Yutang got up, he was bombarded with Cai Yinong's phone.

"Yu Tang, the Golden Horse Award nominations have not been announced yet, where did you get the news? Does Shi Shi really have a chance to be nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards!? ”

Zhou Yutang heard her tone on the phone, which was more excited than Liu Shishi, and said calmly while washing: "I listened to Chen Guofu last night." ”

"That seems to be true."

Cai Yinong has some connections in Bend Province, but those connections are obviously insignificant compared to a big man like Chen Guofu.

"Yu Tang, do you think there is hope for Shi Shi's Best Actress?"

“.”

After being silent for a while, Zhou Yutang considered his words and said euphemistically: "Sister Cai, we are still young, and we will have a chance in the future." ”

Was this sister carried away by surprise?

It's a dream to win a prize.

Let's put it this way, Liu Shishi is under the training of Zhou Yutang this time, and he can be regarded as a hit.

Several crying scenes showed the pinnacle of acting skills in their careers.

But Chen Guofu's nomination is only a possibility, even if he gets the nomination, it will be as difficult for Liu Shishi to win the Golden Horse Film with "Those Years", which is comparable to a series of explosions and a club to the moon.

Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang taught Zhou Yutang a very important lesson: awards are such a thing, qualifications are very important.

"Well, it would be nice if I got the nomination."

In Cai Yinong's eyes, being nominated is about half a step after filming, and Zhou Yutang can even think of the press release from the Tang people.

[The most beautiful school flower, Liu Shishi, missed the Golden Horse Actress Trophy! ] 】

…………………………

It's August 24th.

The Olympic event is coming to an end.

During this time, Tian Ming used his connections and spent a full 20 million yuan to customize the world's top audio equipment from abroad.

There has also been progress in mentoring, 10 million talked about Teacher Liu Huan, and 8 million talked about Chen Yixun, the head of instant noodles.

Jay Chou and Faye Wong both continued to follow up and did not get an accurate reply.

There are also negotiations with several TV stations, and in the end, Zhejiang Satellite TV and Modu Satellite TV are very interested.

According to Tian Ming, the conditions given by Zhejiang Satellite TV are slightly better than those of Modu Satellite TV, but it has put forward clear requirements to have full control over the voice program.

Zhou Yutang directly asked Tian Ming to kick Zhejiang Satellite TV out, and turned his head to communicate and negotiate with Modu Satellite TV.

After being in the circle for so long, I gradually learned some insiders, and Lantai is notoriously domineering.

It doesn't matter if Zhou Yutang makes less money, the first variety show project of the most important studio, he wants to do it with his heart, and it is best to make a signboard.

Tian Ming continued to talk with Modu Satellite TV, and the time soon came to the end of the Olympic Games.

Zhou Yutang woke up early in the morning, took off the sandbag on his body, put on the handsome Armani suit, and went to the modeling room.

"Yu Tang, I feel like I haven't seen you for a while, and your figure seems to be more stylish."

The teacher Tony who modeled Zhou Yutang looked surprised.

She is a friend of Sister Shuang, and she has been cooperating with Jiangdong Studio for almost a year, and Zhou Yutang's appearance at the event was done by herself.

"yes, I've been working out lately."

Zhou Yutang looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

The devil's training during this time was quite effective.

The abdominal muscles exploded abnormally, not only the body movements were more neat than before, but the spirit of the whole person seemed to be on a higher level.

Taking advantage of Zhou Yutang's styling work, Li Shuang went to buy sandwiches, simply ate some in the car, and went directly to the Bird's Nest.

"Yu Tang is here, I'll rehearse a few times later, don't be nervous."

Teacher Bian, who was in charge of the music section of the closing ceremony, also took the initiative to come up and chat a few words: "Have you eaten, breakfast has been prepared backstage." ”

"I ate on the way here."

Zhou Yutang responded with a smile.

It is impossible to be nervous.

Tens of thousands of concert guests have also participated, according to Mr. Wu Bai, Zhou Yutang was born with a big heart and is the one who enjoys the stage.

And tonight's closing ceremony will be much smaller than the opening ceremony, like Zhou Zhengping and Wang Fengqin, who went home in advance because of something in their hometown.

"Teacher Zhou, can you sign for me?"

As soon as I arrived at the backstage lounge, I met a lot of dancing girls who came up tonight to ask for autographs.

"Absolutely."

After agreeing to sign a group photo, Zhou Yutang found a lounge to sit down.

I began to glance at the show and guest list of the show.

took the lead in the eldest brother Chenglong, followed by Liu Dehua, Zhou Jielun and dozens of other people.

Zhou Yutang is a super popular star in the new generation, but everyone who can be on the list is a figure with a face in the entertainment industry.

Gather at half past nine today, and then have the final rehearsal, and there are already many stars on the scene.

Han Cod from the mainland took the initiative to come up and say hello: "Yu Tang, hello." ”

"Hello, Mr. Han."

Zhou Yutang glanced at this sister's legs.

Han Xue received a stockings advertisement some time ago, which was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and some good people on the Internet listed her and Tang Yan as strong competitors for the first beautiful legs in domestic entertainment.

Zhou Yutang politely looked at the two players on the spot.

If he was asked to be a judge, he would vote for Tang Yan.

"Don't call me Teacher Han, call me Sister Xue."

Han Yu smiled, took the tail of her skirt, and sat next to Zhou Yutang.

There was still half an hour before the rehearsal, and Han Hao was quite interested in Zhou Yutang, and the two chatted warmly for a while and exchanged contact information.

The sister didn't leave, and a tall and handsome squinting eye came over with an assistant and took the initiative to show favor to Zhou Yutang.

"Yu Tang, do you still know rain? He just said that he would like to work with you when he has a chance in the future. ”

After Rain left, Han Hao's eyes were full of colorful ripples, and he looked at Zhou Yutang with some surprise.

Rain, who became popular in Asia with "Full House Romance" a few years ago, is currently the super popular king of South Korea.

actually took the initiative to show goodwill to Zhou Yutang, which was too disrespectful, and many stars in the lounge suddenly looked at him, and many of them were senior stars.

Zhou Yutang smiled indifferently: "The studio has cooperation with South Korea. ”

According to the news from South Korea's Pei Yun, RAIN has confirmed that he will play the leading role in the Korean version of "Those Years" by virtue of his popularity, and the heroine is Han Hyo-joo, a newcomer actor who has been very popular recently.

The backstage lounge is pretty basic, but it's really starry-eyed.

Zhou Yutang also met Da Mimi's idol Xie Tingfeng, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally nodded as a greeting.

It seems that this brother has come out of the shadow of Teacher Chen, but the beautiful agent next to him took the initiative to communicate with Sister Shuang and changed his business card.

As soon as everyone arrives, the rehearsal begins.

It's a bit awkward for dozens of singers to sing hand in hand on stage.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong and the rehearsal went smoothly.

The time of this day passed very slowly, and he stayed at the scene, and Zhou Yutang also got to know a lot of contacts.

Finally, at 8 o'clock in the evening, the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games officially began.

This was followed by a series of regular episodes, followed by a speech by the Organising Committee of the Olympic Games.

After the chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee delivered a speech, the next flag was handed over, and it was the turn of London for the next session.

Then there is a series of program performances that go on in an orderly manner.

The eldest brother Cheng Long took the lead in leading the bright stars to appear, and everyone danced hand in hand and sang the song "Distant Guests, Please Stay".

"Please stay, please stay!"

Zhou Yutang has sung this sentence countless times, Sun Yanzi on the left, and Sister Turkey with double knives on the right, her body swaying rhythmically with the beat of the song.

Call!

It's over.

Zhou Yutang was also relieved.

Back backstage, Jay Chou came over to say hello with a cool look: "I sang well just now." ”

The Chinese music king has an obvious tone, and there seems to be curiosity in his eyes.

Speaking of which, at the beginning of the year, "Those Years" pressed "Slam Dunk", and the media still hyped up the affairs of the two people, but Jay Chou didn't seem to mind.

Zhou Yutang also stretched out his hand to shake him, and said modestly: "It's not as good as Brother Jie." ”

Gan!

This beats the street and learns to speak to me!

Jay Chou's expression twitched, and he was also very direct: "I want to ask, did you do the show The Voice?" ”

"yes."

"Aren't you making movies, how did you come up with the idea of spending so much money on a music show?"

"Do what you want, and make some money by the way."

"Interesting."

Zhou Yutang's direct response made Jay Chou can't help but chuckle, waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you, I think you're honest enough, this show is quite interesting." ”

"Are you interested in having fun?"

Zhou Yutang mainly invited: "Try another way to play music, look at the music of low-level musicians in the mainland, and it will definitely surprise you when the time comes." ”

"I'm pretty excited."

Jay Chou seemed to be a little moved: "But there are plans for a tour next, and I plan to take a vacation next year." ”

"That's it."

Zhou Yutang took out a coin, raised his eyebrows and smiled, with some ridicule: "Do you dare to gamble, the numbers are up, count me as winning, you come over to do a season of the show and try it, the national emblem is facing up, count you as winning, how about it?" ”

"You're so confident?"

Jay Chou was also a little interested: "Come on." ”

"Heavenly King, I'm done."

Zhou Yutang confidently tossed the coin into the air.

Silver shimmers in the light.

Jay Chou's gaze also followed the rise and fall of the coin.

Syllable!

Zhou Yutang stretched out his hand to catch it and slowly removed his palm.

Jay Chou's eyes widened.
