Chapter 119: Giving birth to a son should be like Zhou Yutang
Zhou Yutang really didn't come to Xiangjiang for women.
It's about doing business.
Money and power are always a man's best coat.
When you put on this layer of gorgeous clothes, you don't need to look for women, those beautiful women will take the initiative to find you.
The "Lonely Agent" cooperated with China Film Group this time directly affected Zhou Yutang's status in the future.
If the movie explodes at the box office.
Then his status soared straight up.
After his debut, the ministry became a hit, and insiders will respect him as a god.
If the box office performance of the movie is not satisfactory.
Then Zhou Yutang's development will be slightly blocked, and it may also wear away Han Sanping's trust.
After all, Mr. Han was really hurt by Wu Baige once, and now he pins most of his hopes on Zhou Yutang.
After Zhou Yutang finished talking to Li Shuang, he flipped through the roster carefully prepared by Huo Wenxi.
Open it and take a look.
It can be said that it is an undisguised artistic photo.
He glanced at it and tossed it aside.
Zhou Yutang rubbed the corners of his forehead and left the fragrant things behind.
I opened my laptop, reviewed it, and sorted out my thoughts.
The other side.
Huo Wenxi hung up Zhou Yutang's phone and directly dialed Yang Shoucheng's private number: "Hey, boss, Zhou Yutang refused." ”
"Oh?"
Boss Yang asked with a little surprise, "How did you arrange it?" ”
"Models from Xiangjiang, Neon, South Korea, Xiangjiang, and Eastern Europe, more than a dozen beautiful women, pure, cold and glamorous, he didn't fancy any of them."
Huo Wenxi said helplessly.
I have heard the name of Zhou Yutang's romantic and talented son for a long time.
She had prepared her PR beforehand.
Beauties from all over the world, fat and thin, absolutely emperor-like enjoyment.
And there is the Yinghuang Group covering here, there is no risk at all, and few men can withstand it.
As a result, Zhou Yutang didn't order any of them.
Is there really a cat in the world that doesn't eat fish?
Or is this young man's concentration too strong?
Huo Wenxi was a little curious.
"Hehe, there is no need to make special arrangements in the future, to meet all his requirements."
Boss Yang on the other end of the phone smiled: "This is a person who does great things, and now I understand why Han Sanping is optimistic about him." ”
The next day.
The Peninsula Hotel.
Zhou Yutang met the prestigious Yuan Baye.
He is over the age of sixties, but he is still in good spirits, wearing a pair of cloth shoes, and his gestures are awe-inspiring.
Yuan Baye debuted in the 60s, at first as a dragon and tiger martial artist, and later changed to action director, debuted for decades, witnessing the golden age of Xiangjiang films, during this period, the Xiangjiang Film Awards and the Best Action Director of the Golden Horse Award were also soft.
This is a well-deserved first action director in Xiangjiang, throughout the movies he participated in directing action scenes, including "Wong Fei Hung" series, "Young Zhang Sanfeng", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "The Matrix" series, "Kill Bill", "Kung Fu", "Huo Yuanjia".
This pile of works, pick one out of your eyes and take it out at random, is also a classic that is worth recalling for decades.
In terms of achievements alone, Xiangjiang action director Yuan Laoruo said second, but I am afraid that no one dares to call it first.
With the face of Han Sanping and Yinghuang Boss Yang, Zhou Yutang met this old man Yuan.
Yuan Baye is the action director in "The King of Kung Fu" released this year, the box office hit the street, the old man is depressed, and he is now on vacation in Xiangjiang.
Zhou Yutang got up and greeted him: "Old Yuan is good." ”
"Xiao Zhou, you're welcome."
Yuan Lao smiled kindly: "Mr. Yang told me that he said hello, what is the plot and overall style of this play?" ”
The action director doesn't mean that it's just a fight, according to the type of movie, it is divided into several types.
is like a comedy action movie of Cheng Chan, which is completely different from the realistic style of martial arts action such as "Slaying the Wolf" and "Fuse", the former is thrilling and witty, and the latter is very visually impactful.
roughly told the eighth master about his thoughts, and the two of them quickly reached an agreement.
The movie "Lone Agent" is not a simple action movie, strictly speaking, it is more like a drama genre film.
uses the simplicity and pity of Xiaomei, a little girl, to stimulate the softest place in the audience's heart.
Then the viciousness and terror of the criminal group want to destroy this soft beauty, and then use the violent means of the male protagonist to vent the audience's anger.
"This book is so murderous."
Yuan Lao read the script and frowned: "In the last paragraph, should you set it up as the male protagonist being defeated by the villain's ultimate killer, and then the Jedi counterattacks?" ”
Generally, Xiangjiang action movies are this routine.
The male protagonist is very strong, but in the end, he will always be overturned by the enemy once, and then the small universe will break out and narrowly defeat the strong enemy.
"No, the focus is on the rhythm of the story, Xiaomei's arrest can already provoke the audience's emotions."
Zhou Yutang shook his head: "The actor can be shot and injured, but it is impossible to be defeated, his strength positioning is invincible." ”
"It's kind of a Hollywood hero movie."
Yuan Lao looked at it for the second time, rubbing his chin with his palm.
The films played by Tom Tom in Hollywood are the ultimate personal heroism, and the protagonists are basically omnipotent supermen.
In Zhou Yutang's movie, the background of the actor is the super ace of the secret special forces of the Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, the force has formed a dimensionality reduction blow to the thugs of the criminal group.
To shoot is to kill indiscriminately.
Only the last of the ultimate killers of the crime syndicate can fight against it.
Of course, such a ruthless person can only barely fight, and he is quickly killed by the protagonist.
It's a bit similar to the invincible text in the online article.
What I pursue is the thrill of pushing horizontally.
The two talked a lot about the script, and Yuan Lao asked with some curiosity: "Ah Tang, who are you going to find to play the ultimate killer of this criminal organization?" ”
"Tony Jah."
Zhou Yutang raised the teacup and took a sip gently.
Yuan Baye on the other side was also slightly moved: "Can you invite this?" ”
Tony Jia is now very famous.
He rose to fame in 2003 with "The Boxer", and in 2005, "Tom Yum Goong" starring Tony Jia hit a box office of nearly $6 million.
In that small place in Thailand, his status is equivalent to that of Cheng Long's big brother.
After a few films, they made tens of millions of dollars at the box office and were very influential internationally.
Can you get Thailand's No. 1 martial arts star?
Of course.
Zhou Yutang asked Han Sanping to come forward and contacted the company in Thailand in the name of China Film Group.
Mr. Han was very satisfied with Zhou Yutang's proposal.
Since it's a big production, it's natural to play big.
I want international superstars!
They are also very interested in the market of the Celestial Empire, after all, the Thai film market is very small, and the Celestial Empire has been developing vigorously in the film and television industry recently.
After communication, Tony Jia was invited to join "Lone Agent" for $1 million to play the villain super killer.
The $1 million in this year is really a lot, you must know that Zhou Xun and Li Binbin, female stars in the mainland's first-line coffee positions, the salary of a film is about 2 million.
The salary of Principal Gu and Guo Fucheng on the Xiangjiang side is about 5 million, and Liang Chaowei and Liu Dehua, as well as Fa Ge, are only at the level of 10 million.
But being able to invite Tony Jia is definitely a sure win.
When the time comes, the box office in Southeast Asia will be able to earn it back if there are follow-up discs.
Zhou Yutang stayed in Xiangjiang for seven days, and talked about the action director Yuan Baye two days ago and determined the action style.
Then director Chen Musheng was also very good at communication and won it directly.
As for the rest of the roles, Fan Xiaopang is the heroine nightclub girl, and the other little girl is going back to the mainland to audition.
I found a batch here in Xiangjiang, but there was no aura at all.
In fact, it is normal, in such a big place, Mr. Chen wiped out all the remaining luck in the entertainment industry with one stick, and there is no rising star.
In addition to Tony Ja, there are three more important characters on the villain's side.
The boss of the criminal group found Ren Dahua.
The following offender Zhong Wen, who was the villain who got rid of the boss, invited Liang Jiahui.
In Zhou Yutang's film, Big D killed Ah Le and avenged the fishing without a helmet in "Underworld".
Zhong Wu, the younger brother of another big villain, Zhong Wen, found An Zhijie, and this buddy's action scene is very good.
There is also a slightly more scene of the anti-drug team leader A sir, Zhou Yutang found an enthusiastic citizen Liu Qingyun.
His main role in this film is to sweep the floor after the male protagonist kills indiscriminately, and he is shocked and amazed by his friends, which sets off the mysterious background and powerful ability of the male protagonist.
Zhou Yutang also left an interesting role for Wu Jing, but Wu Jing was in the capital, so he could only talk to him in person in two days.
There are not many supporting roles left, so I asked Huo Wenxi to help contact her, in fact, it was to leave her room for operation, after all, there are many actors who eat with her.
In the past few days, Zhou Yutang has given orders, and Sister Mani has run east and west for him, and it doesn't hurt to be a favor at this time.
The casting matter came to an end for the time being, and Zhou Yutang went to the Peninsula Hotel for a very important appointment.
The casting matter came to an end for the time being, and Zhou Yutang went to the Peninsula Hotel for a very important appointment.
"Boss, do you really want to see Zou Wenhuai in the afternoon?"
Mao Xiaoyu has been chattering since she came out of the hotel, and she is even more excited than Zhou Yutang.
"Are you a fan of Boss Zou?"
Zhou Yutang wore an Armani casual suit and sat by the window in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel.
The sun was shining through the window, shining on him, and he was looking down at the time on the Patek Philippe, his face handsome like a perfect sculpture by a top master.
"No, I'm a Bruce Lee fan."
Mao Xiaoyu was excited like a chirping bird: "Do you know, in fact, my dad is a Bruce Lee fan, because he likes Bruce Lee, he said when my mother was pregnant with me, if I was born a boy, call me Mao Xiaolong, if it's a girl, call me Xiaoyu." ”
"If it's a boy, then there's no you."
There was still half an hour before the appointed time, and Zhou Yutang made a joke with the little assistant.
As a result, only fifteen minutes later, he saw a middle-aged woman walking towards him with an old man in her arms.
"Hello Zou Sheng."
Zhou Yutang took the initiative to get up and shook hands with the old man with sparse hair.
When he heard that the head of Jiahe asked him to meet, Zhou Yutang was inevitably a little surprised.
At this time, Zou Wenhuai was already old, and even the skin on his body was all sagging, but in those cloudy eyes, there was still a majesty that was difficult to describe in words.
"Zhou Sheng, hello."
Zou Wenhuai held a gentleman's cane in both hands, sat down with the support of the middle-aged woman, and said with a smile: "I liked to sit in the position you are sitting in now, sitting here for an afternoon, and the scenery outside is very beautiful." ”
"It's beautiful."
Zhou Yutang glanced at it, and through the window, he happened to see two long-legged beautiful women in short skirts walking by.
"You should order the thin-sliced cucumber sandwich and sponge cake here, it's delicious."
Zou Wenhuai looked at the tiramisu on the table and said with a smile.
Zhou Yutang's bony fingers were on the white porcelain cup, stirring the coffee with a spoon, and chuckling: "Boss Zou, you asked me to meet, it shouldn't be for a snack chat, right?" ”
"Of course not."
Zou Wenhuai nodded: "I heard about you in the mainland, and it just so happened that you came to Xiangjiang and wanted to get to know you, and it really gave me a big surprise." ”
"Boss Zou knows about me?"
Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.
"My father has the habit of reading mainland newspapers every day."
The middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance but a very dignified smile slightly.
"You made your debut in writing a book and started as a TV series, and within two years, several works have gone from no misses, red to purple, and now even Xiangjiang has many of your fans."
Zou Wenhuai is in good spirits, and his clear thinking is not like an old man, and he cherishes Zhou Yutang's self-made deeds.
Zhou Yutang chuckled: "It's not as good as Boss Zou, from a sports reporter, to make Jiahe to such a large scale today, but I heard that something has happened to Jiahe Company recently, and it's hard for Boss Zou to take care of me." ”
The Zou Zhongyan beside him was a little stunned in his expression.
And this old and young looked at each other and smiled.
It's all a thousand-year-old fox, don't play anything and talk about fasting.
The topic twisted and turned, and the names of the two changed again.
Zou Wenhuai took the medicine he carried with him and took a sip of water under Zou Zhongyan's reminder, "Yu Tang, what do you think of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry?" ”
"Zou Lao is still there, and the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is as stable as Mount Tai."
"The sun has set, and the hope of the future of the entertainment industry of the Celestial Empire is in the mainland."
Zou Wenhuai shook his head, pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and finally cut to the point: "I can't hide it, I asked you to come out today, I want to talk to you, Golden Harvest injected 50 million Hong Kong dollars in exchange for 30% of the shares of your Jiangdong Studio, and Golden Harvest's channels can be open to you, what do you think?" ”
“.”
The little assistant on the side, Mao Xiaoyu's pupils shook directly, and his brain calculated quickly.
According to Zou Wenhuai's meaning, 50 million Hong Kong dollars for 30% shares, isn't Zhou Yutang's studio worth more than 160 million Hong Kong dollars!?
The little assistant knew that Zhou Yutang was rich, but her status was not high, and she had limited access to the internal information of the studio, only looking at the gossip on the Internet, it was estimated that Zhou Yutang had a net worth of tens of millions at most, and now when she heard that Zou Wenhuai was going to invest in Jiangdong Studio with such a big deal, everyone was about to faint.
"There is no shortage of funds in the Jiangdong studio."
Zhou Yutang admired this old man in his heart, and shook his head with a chuckle: "Thank you, Old Zou, for your kindness." ”
Huayi's king always spent 100 million yuan to acquire Jiangdong Studio, which seems to be big enough.
Unexpectedly, Zou Wenhuai's courage was even greater than Wang Zhongjun.
And the way of doing things is more relaxed, and it seems to be full of sincerity.
Despite this, Zhou Yutang politely declined.
He did a good job in the sound project, which was invested by the studio and borrowed funds from the bank, which was divided with Tian Ming.
At present, he still has more than 30 million working capital in his studio's account, plus the long-tail income of several popular films, and has several high-quality projects such as "Latent", "Fellow Student", "Lone Agent", as well as the copyright hoarded by Zhou Yutang, and the future is promising.
Wait until next year, that's when Koto Studio will really take off.
are all smart people, just talked about it tentatively, and immediately knew that something could not be done, so they did not continue on this topic, but only talked about the differences between the film and television circles in the mainland and Xiangjiang.
Two hours later.
Zou Wenhuai sat in the back seat of the Bentley with Zou Zhongyan's support and slowly drove out of the Peninsula Hotel.
"Daddy, do you really want to take a stake in Jiangdong Studio?"
Zou Zhongyan, who hadn't spoken much just now, couldn't help but speak: "If Golden Harvest really wants to develop towards the mainland, Zhou Yutang is indeed a good partner to work with, do you want me to notify the company's business team and continue to talk to him again, and strive to get more than 50% of the shares of his studio?" ”
“.”
Zou Wenhuai looked at his daughter and was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head: "No need, he won't sell it." ”
"Daddy, then why have you been talking to him for so long?"
"I'm watching him as a person. Zhongyan, do you know what I like to play most outside of making movies? ”
"Bridge, Daddy, you are the chairman of the Far East Bridge Club for several terms, and you have won many Xiangjiang bridge championships."
"I've been playing bridge for so many years and I've learned a very important lesson."
Zou Wenhuai said earnestly: "Our life is like a bridge, the chances of good times and bad times are almost the same, but the most important thing is to win more points when you get good cards, and lose less when you get bad cards." ”
"Playing bridge, you have to accommodate each other with your teammates and reach a tacit understanding, which is the key to winning in the end."
After hearing this, Zou Zhongyan frowned and fell into deep thought, as if he couldn't quite understand.
Zou Wenhuai glanced at his frowning and confused daughter, and the high-spirited young man he had just seen came to his mind.
It is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country.
The old man's expression gradually became tired, and he looked sideways at the scenery passing by outside the window, and sighed faintly in his heart:
Give birth to a child like Zhou Yutang!
…………………………
Zhou Yutang put his hands in his pockets and watched the sunset as the extended Bentley slowly drove out of the Peninsula Hotel.
"Boss, don't look at it, it's already gone."
Mao Xiaoyu's expression was more excited than Zhou Yutang, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Zhou Yutang.
She witnessed the boss sitting with a big guy like Zou Wenhuai talking and laughing.
"Let's eat together, don't waste it."
Zhou Yutang turned his head to see the remaining snacks on the table, sat down and enjoyed them slowly.
"Oh."
Mao Xiaoyu was also very obedient, began to sweep the snacks on the table, and asked vaguely: "Boss, you asked me to collect information related to Jiahe in the past two days, did you already know that Zou Lao was looking for you to invest in our studio?" ”
"Guess a little."
Zhou Yutang didn't move after taking a bite, his mind turning.
In recent years, Zou Wenhuai's physical condition has not been good, and he entrusted the company to his daughter Zou Zhongyan to take care of.
Zou Zhongyan got a master's degree from Stanford University in the United States, majoring in film, and can be said to be a veritable "Princess Golden Harvest".
This person has strong professional ability, but the ability to run the company is not ideal, and Golden Harvest is in dire straits.
The entertainment industry pursues the law of the jungle.
According to the information collected, Orange Sky Culture has been eyeing Golden Harvest since last year and wants to complete the acquisition and backdoor listing.
It's just that Zou Wenhuai has not let go, and since the beginning of this year, there have been repeated rumors that Wu Kebo has organized Japanese capital to prepare for a comprehensive acquisition of Golden Harvest.
The old man still wants to take a stake in my Jiangdong studio?
After next year, maybe I will be the master of Golden Harvest.
Zhou Yutang looked at the drizzle and asked with a smile, "How is it, is it delicious?" ”
"It's delicious, it's full."
Mao Xiaoyu nodded as if he was pecking rice, his mouth was stuffed with cake, and his speech was slurred.
"Go back to bed early when you're full, I have something to do at night, don't follow."
"Oh, what's going on at night?"
"I'm going to Lan Kwai Fong to inspect the filming location."
Zhou Yutang glanced at his watch, and the sound of a sports car engine roared outside the hotel.
A red Ferrari is parked in front of the hotel.
Then.
The door opened, and a pair of long legs stepped out.
A beautiful girl got out of the car, took off her sunglasses, pinned them to her chest, and saw Zhou Yutang, her big eyes instantly shone brightly, and she smiled sweetly:
"Hello Zhou Shao, my name is Yang Ying, Zihuan asked me to pick you up."
