Chapter 252: Goodbye Liu Tianxian, Xiao Biesheng is newly married
New York, Airport.
Zou Zhongyan looked at the young man in front of him, who was wearing a black casual suit and sunglasses, which could not hide his handsomeness and momentum even more than before, and beckoned,
"Mr. Zhou."
"Sister Zou, please come and pick up the plane."
Zhou Yutang took off his sunglasses, and a smile bloomed on his face.
A cordial handshake and a simple greeting.
Although she is her boss, there is still basic respect.
"You're my boss, and these are the things you should do."
Zou Zhongyan took two assistants by his side and took the initiative to lead Zhou Yutang's luggage out of the airport.
When I came to the United States this time, I communicated with Zou Zhongyan in advance.
On the way to the hotel, we talked about this trip in the United States, and Zou Zhongyan had already arranged everything.
The most important thing is to negotiate with the TV station for the variety show copyright of "The Voice".
Originally, it was the people of NBC TV who first contacted Mingjie Company, and wanted to bring the show "The Voice" to the United States.
But there were problems in the contract negotiations.
The Jews over there who are in charge of this project are cunning.
I want a show and I want to be an uncle.
pulled a few times, and the plan was to lower the price, buy out the copyright of the program at one time, and promise a bunch of marginal pies by the way.
For example, to help Mingjie promote the development of the business in the United States.
Zhou Yutang naturally disagreed.
At that time, Mingjie Company was just an obscure new company, and "The Voice" was just a new music variety show.
Adopting the mode of separation of production and broadcasting, Mingjie Company produces the program, and then broadcasts it through the platform of the TV station.
The high cost of program production at the beginning directly scared off all domestic TV stations, and Tian Ming also took a certain responsibility before talking about the cooperation with Modu Channel.
Modu TV insisted on signing a VAM agreement, and Mingjie Company was fully responsible for the production cost and investment risk of the program.
The TV station pays the production fee in installments, and the ratings reach the standard line agreed by both parties, and the TV station gives dividends to the programs linked to the ratings.
This approach is acceptable to everyone, and a win-win situation has been achieved.
Now that "The Voice" has proved that this is a variety show that is popular all over the world, and it is very likely to be popular in the United States, the Jews are not very willing to give dividends.
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to go to the hotel first to fall down jet lag?"
"No, help me make appointments with CBS and ABC, and I'm going to speed up the negotiations."
Zou Zhongyan has a deeper understanding of Zhou Yutang's vigorous and resolute style of doing things.
Nodding slightly, he said with some admiration: "Mr. Zhou, Bob, the senior manager of the new line company is very interested in you and wants to make an appointment with you." ”
This Bob is the partner who did "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" with Zou Wenhuai and killed all sides in the Hollywood film market, and is also one of the major shareholders of New Line.
"I'll talk about it when I get back from Stanford."
"Then go to Stanford University first, Mr. Zhou has friends over there?"
Zou Zhongyan looked slightly stunned, she got her master's degree at Stanford.
"Yes, there's an important date."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile: "Sister Zou, please help me book a hotel near the school, I may have to stay here for a while." ”
"Okay."
Zou Zhongyan nodded and agreed.
But I was a little curious.
Who is more important than the major shareholder of the new line?
Liu Yifei wore a light gray trench coat, simple jeans, and a handbag, Yingying walked on the shaded path of the school.
Delicate posture.
Fairy spirit.
The breeze ruffled her long hair.
A few rays of the setting sun pierced through the shade of the trees and fell between her flying hair.
From a distance, her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a ball of holy light, like an angel descending on the earth.
From time to time, Asian students threw their eyes at her, and some deliberately raised the volume of their speech.
Liu Yifei put on her headphones, lowered her head and quickened her pace.
She's been here for a few months.
The pace of life here is simple.
She's not a big star, just an ordinary student.
Except for some students of Chinese descent, basically no one knows her.
During this time, Liu Yifei lived very freely and easily.
The daily itinerary is basically from school, then to the gym, and back to your residence.
Seldom communicate with outsiders.
I didn't pay attention to those things in the entertainment industry.
Except for the occasional news that I can't help but look at that guy.
The new movie is still being released, and the box office has exceeded 768 million.
I am about to make a commercial blockbuster co-produced by the two countries.
From actor to director.
He seems to succeed easily in everything he does.
If only it weren't that good.
Then there wouldn't be so many people like him.
In the library.
Liu Yifei looked at the book in front of her, but that face unconsciously appeared in her mind, and sighed quietly.
My thoughts also drifted back to the day when the crew of "You from the Star" overheard Yang Mi chatting with that person.
Liu Yifei, who was a little resentful when she thought of it, regarded this book as the big carrot.
I flipped through several pages in one breath.
Unless he suddenly appears in front of him.
Otherwise, I will never pay attention to him in the future.
Obviously.
It's impossible.
From the Celestial Empire to this side, it is thousands of miles away.
He's red to purple right now, and there must be a lot of itinerary announcements.
Maybe, which sister and sister are busy spreading scandals with.
Liu Yifei thought wildly, her heart was a little sour, a little astringent, and turned up the volume, so that she could not think of him for the time being.
"I want to remember you as you are, like a fish remembering the embrace of water, like a cloud docked in the sky."
"When the night comes, I will not forget the warmth of the sun, I will forget your appearance, like a fish and forget the taste of the sea, let go of all dreams and troubles."
The song "Like a Fish" was playing in the headphones, which was also Liu Yifei's favorite song.
Because this is a song written by Zhou Yutang for her, exclusive to her.
Smack.
It was at this time.
A passer-by's pen fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
It happened to fall at Liu Tianxian's feet, and the kind girl Liu took off her headphones, leaned over to pick up the pen, and then handed it over.
"Thank you."
Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Yifei was slightly stunned.
He immediately raised his head.
Direct pupil earthquake.
"Long time no see, Xiao Liu."
Zhou Yutang sat down next to her, the gentle smile in his eyes became thicker and thicker, and he took out a white flower from the pocket of his casual suit as if by magic.
between the pages of her book.
I don't know why, when I saw this clean and gentle smiling face that I had missed for a long time, after seeing the flower in my book.
The sourness and resentment in my heart just now suddenly disappeared very unhappily.
Liu Yifei was obviously so excited that it looked like fireworks were blooming, but she deliberately made a calm appearance with a light breeze: "Why are you here?" ”
Zhou Yutang turned his pen leisurely and chuckled: "The company has business here, so I came to see you by the way." ”
"I don't want to see you."
Liu Yifei turned around.
looked at Zhou Yutang's clear eyes and gentle smile.
Liu Yifei felt a little aggrieved and a little painful, and wanted to cry.
This is a man who makes her think about it day and night, even if she wants to let go, but she is reluctant.
From the time of the Condor crew.
From curiosity to a good feeling, from gradually liking it, to slowly falling into it, I was attracted and impressed by this man step by step
Why doesn't she want to stay with Zhou Yutang?
But the reality is not so easy.
Many women were like moths to a fire, approaching Zhou Yutang.
Liu Yifei originally wanted to leave the flashy vanity fair and try to use time to dilute this feeling.
In the past few months, Liu Yifei's heart has slowly built a heart wall.
But this heart wall, which had been tightly protected by itself, collapsed the moment he saw Zhou Yutang again, and was completely reduced to ruins.
"Really?"
"You hate it the most, I don't want you to come to see me."
Holding the book to the other side, the corners of Liu Yifei's mouth were slightly upturned uncontrollably.
Although it's just a subtle arc.
But it still shows her mood after seeing Zhou Yutang at this time.
After all, I was more happy than I felt anything else.
When a woman says she doesn't want it, she wants it.
Zhou Yutang caught a glimpse of the smile that disappeared quickly after blooming, took her hand directly, and led her outside.
Liu Yifei was slightly stunned: "What are you doing?" ”
"Eat."
Zhou Yutang said confidently: "I have been on the plane for so long, I have not had jet lag, I have worked at high intensity continuously, and then I came here again, I didn't eat dinner, you touched my stomach, my abdominal muscles are hungry." ”
"Starve you to death."
Liu Yifei snorted in disgust: "You really haven't eaten?" ”
"Of course, you do your best to be a landlord, don't be so stingy."
"Okay then."
Liu Yifei shook off her hand a little unnaturally: "Don't pull and pull, it's not good to be seen by others." ”
"Nobody knows us here."
While Zhou Yutang was talking to Liu Yifei, his eyes moved around.
Seriously, I am a fan of the tsunami in China, and there are really not many people I know abroad.
"Then you'll leave after eating."
"Uh-huh."
took Zhou Yutang to a nearby restaurant, watched him gobble up a hamburger, and immediately began to eliminate steaks again, the hunger on his face was indeed not pretended.
Liu Yifei was a little distressed, and handed him a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you, drink some water." ”
The specialty of the restaurant here in the United States: the big meat tube is enough.
This is very much to Zhou Yutang's appetite, he has always been meatless.
After the wind and clouds finished eating, wiped his mouth with wet wipes, Liu Yifei ordered a vegetable salad, and looked at him with his chin in his little hand.
"Full?"
"The main beauty is delicious, and I'm full."
"Boring, then you take your time."
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes cutely: "I'm going home." ”
Zhou Yutang beckoned for two vanilla-flavored ice creams and handed one to Liu Yifei.
"It's too high, so I'll take a bite."
Liu Yifei hesitated, but still couldn't resist the temptation.
Girls are inherently less resistant to this type of dessert.
After eating the ice cream, Liu Yifei quickly got up and wanted to leave.
got into the car, but she was a little annoyed that this guy didn't stop her.
As soon as I started the car, I couldn't help but glance out the window.
Seeing Zhou Yutang clumsily communicating with the wide and fat black aunt in sign language, she turned off the engine and got out of the car uneasily, walked over and asked:
"Where's the light rain?"
Mao Xiaoyu is Zhou Yutang's personal assistant, and several women know it, and basically have a good relationship with her.
"She brought me over here, and she gave her a holiday, so that she could breathe free air too."
"And how are you going to go back?"
"I'll walk back by myself."
Zhou Yutang said indifferently: "At most, there will be any zero-yuan purchases and shootouts, it's okay." ”
"You think you're making a movie?"
"Since I came here, I have been watching the news a lot, which is also normal, isn't there a saying called, free America, shooting every day?"
“.”
Liu Tianxian was helpless: "Do you know the road?" ”
"Didn't I just inquire?"
"Why are you murdering me?"
“.”
After a little hesitation, Liu Yifei still said kindly: "Forget it, then. Then I'll take you back to the hotel. ”
"Yes, yes."
Liu Yifei didn't react, Zhou Yutang had already sat in the passenger seat of her car.
Liu Yifei, who faintly felt that she had been tricked, pursed her lips, but didn't say anything.
Who made this guy not understand English?
Sent to the hotel, she thought about doing good things to the end, helped communicate with the front desk, and took Zhou Yutang to the open room.
There are no flowers this time.
Thinking of the absurdity of that day, Liu Yifei suddenly panicked a little cautiously, and was about to turn around to leave, Zhou Yutang pulled her to sit down on the sofa, and then went straight to the refrigerator to get a bottle of red wine and two glasses.
"Come have a drink, I have something to say to you."
"What do you want to say?"
Liu Yifei was attracted to attention and drank red wine in small sips.
"I want to say, are you eating too well here and feeling a little fat."
“!!!”
Liu Yifei instantly became full of anger: "What nonsense are you talking about, I've been working out all the time, and I haven't gotten fat at all!" ”
I drank a glass of wine angrily, my chest couldn't help but rise and fall, I still felt unrelieved, glared at Zhou Yutang, and poured another glass of wine for myself.
chatted about the little things in life, and also talked to her about the things in the circle.
Unknowingly, a bottle of red wine quickly bottomed out, and Zhou Yutang saw Liu Yifei's cheeks flushed, and asked with concern: "Qian Bao, are you okay?" ”
"Who's you?"
"Oh, it looks like it's fine, then drink some more."
"Drink it, who is afraid of whom?"
Liu Yifei's mouth is very hard, but the amount of wine is not very good, and after a few glasses of red wine, not only the sharp and even goose-like cheeks are already glowing with a magnificent red glow, but even the white neck is flushed, and the whole body is also shaking slightly.
Zhou Yutang took the opportunity to help her: "Qian Bao, are you okay?" ”
Liu Yifei covered her head and said, "It's okay, it's just that my head is a little dizzy, I don't drink anymore, I want to go home." ”
With that, she staggered to her feet and wanted to walk out.
"How do you drive like this?"
"I can, I'm amazing."
Liu Yifei snorted, the tsundere look really cute.
The curvature of Zhou Yutang's mouth gradually softened, but he couldn't help but hold her small waist and stop her.
"Oh, what are you doing, let me go."
Liu Yifei's body trembled, struggled hard, and soon gave up.
The lower back is a very sensitive spot on her body.
Zhou Yutang's strength is very strong, and her resistance is in vain.
Wen Xiang Nephrite fell into his arms, but Zhou Yutang did not make any further movements.
Putting Liu Tianxian on the sofa, Zhou Yutang asked casually: "Is Aunt Liu at home, let her pick you up, otherwise I won't worry." ”
"Suddenly there is an emergency, and my mother will go back to China to deal with it."
Liu Yifei saw Zhou Yutang get up and walk towards the kitchen, and suddenly became a little curious: "What are you doing?" ”
"Brew you a glass of honey water."
Zhou Yutang chuckled: "I used to drink too much wine for socials, and when I come back, I will drink a glass of honey water, and I will feel a lot more comfortable." ”
As a personal assistant, Mao Xiaoyu is conscientious and responsible, meticulous and thoughtful.
Although Yu Tang took her vacation, after booking a hotel room here, she purchased some of the things that Zhou Yutang used in her life in advance.
"Then you can stay here for one night, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Zhou Yutang helped her to lie on the bed, and said with a smile: "Red wine has a lot of energy, just take a rest." ”
"Hmm."
Liu Yifei half-squinted her eyes and looked very well-behaved.
Zhou Yutang took off her shoes and put her legs in the quilt to cover them, and Liu Yifei suddenly felt a happy feeling of being taken care of.
I don't know if I drank too much.
Her head was dizzy, and she didn't know where the impulse came from, so she took the initiative to hug Zhou Yutang's waist from behind.
"Xiao Zhou, I want to talk to you."
"Well, you say."
"I'm so bored here, I can't find anyone to talk to."
Everyone has a desire to talk.
Liu Yifei is no exception.
Live a life isolated from the glitzy entertainment industry here.
But she didn't really have any friends here.
There were a lot of words piled up in my heart, but I couldn't find anyone to talk to.
Although Aunt Liu is connected to her by blood and is the closest person to her, when a girl grows up, there will always be some things that she can't say to her parents.
"Actually, I used to have friends."
Liu Yifei hugged Zhou Yutang, like holding a large baby bear doll, and muttered: "There are many friends from different countries, there is a Russian girl, her name is Dasha, she is very beautiful, and she is also very good." ”
"Are you pretty?"
"She was as beautiful as an elf, forever with two long braids."
"Then you are a fairy."
"You're so annoying, can you not interrupt?"
Although she was happy in her heart, she was still coquettish, but even she didn't notice it, and her tone was soft and cute: "Actually, at the beginning, my mother just brought me here to live, I was really scared, they were all different people, speaking a language I didn't understand, and even going to school was very uncomfortable." ”
"At that time, there were students from many countries in the class, and there were a few South Korean girls, and they always struggled with me."
"What's wrong with you?"
"I was sitting there in class, and all of a sudden, the Korean girl came and pulled my hair and drew something on me with a pen."
"I was very depressed, and then my friends on my side quarreled with them."
"Can you bear this?"
Zhou Yutang sneered: "If it's me, I'll be beaten directly after school, the stick is afraid of power and morality, and I will be honest if I beat it." ”
"Xiao Zhou."
Liu Yifei patted him and continued: "I'm still relatively civilized, I told the teacher after class, called their parents over, and then they also had a week's punishment, that is, they were not allowed to go to class." ”
"Is it still called a punishment if you don't go to class, isn't that a reward?"
Zhou Yutang shook his head dissatisfiedly: "I'll help you get out of your anger when you go back." ”
"What are you angry about?"
Liu Yifei angrily knocked off his constantly messy hand and warned: "Also, don't touch it." ”
"I'll hold you and promise not to move."
"Okay then."
Liu Yifei reluctantly agreed: "Why are you touching again?" ”
"I promise, just touch it, and never move it."
"Hmm"
…………………………
"Yu Tang, what's going on over there?"
"Almost, the cooperation intention of the TV station here has been confirmed, and the rest is the price, which will be handed over to the business team to negotiate, and the result will be soon."
"And when are you coming back?"
Tian Ming felt that Zhou Yutang's voice was a little relaxed, and asked with a smile.
"I'll go to South Korea in a while."
"Don't be happy, play less with Yanmar, young people should take care of their health."
"Brother Ming, my body is very good."
Zhou Yutang also laughed.
Suddenly freed from the tense state of work, his whole mind was relaxed.
In the days with Liu Tianxian, Zhou Yutang had a very comfortable life.
The copyright of "Lone Agent" has been sold to New Line, and the copyright of "The Voice" involves greater interests, and the business negotiation team is still in the final few rounds of tugging with two TV stations on the American side.
As for NBC, there's no doubt that it's out.
Nothing else.
Zhou Yutang was very unhappy when he looked at the Jew who represented the head of NBC and wanted to take advantage everywhere.
Anyway, the show "The Voice" is very promising, and the other two TV stations are also strong.
During the day, he hosts work in remote video conferences, writes scripts in his spare time, or asks Liu Yifei to go out to dinner together.
This time to get along day and night.
Xiao Biesheng is newlywed, and the relationship has warmed up a lot.
Zhou Yutang discovered that Liu Yifei had a very strange hobby.
That's watching a horror movie in the middle of the night.
Just watch horror movies.
But she had to turn off the sound and look again.
When it came to some key horror and horror scenes, she also closed her eyes.
hugged Zhou Yutang tightly, which completely belongs to the classic type of vegetable and fun-loving.
"Do you call watching horror movies?"
Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Yifei and watched "Dead Silence" on TV, which happened to be the classic Mary Shaw's gaze.
This is the horror created by the atmosphere of the film.
Even if you don't listen to the sound, it can be creepy.
Liu Yifei let out a low cry and desperately drilled into his arms, Zhou Yutang smiled dumbly and said: "You missed the best place." ”
He watched it with relish.
Wen Ziren is also really a talent.
The debut work "Chainsaw" is a classic.
It only took 18 days to shoot and cost 1.2 million, but it earned back 50 million US dollars in box office revenue, making a lot of money.
This "Dead Silence" can also make children stop crying.
Looking at the terrifying doll, Zhou Yutang's heart suddenly moved slightly, watching the plot on the TV screen continue, and said thoughtfully:
"Did you make a horror movie?"
"Xiao Zhou, what did you say?"
Liu Yifei raised her head and blinked her eyes.
"I say, you're really my goddess of luck."
Zhou Yutang held that beautiful little face and kissed it gently, excitedly picked up his mobile phone, and called Zou Zhongyan.
Liu Yifei leaned on his arms and quietly listened to him talk about work.
"Mr. Zhou, you mean, you want to make a horror movie?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yutang's fingers gently combed Liu Yifei's soft hair, and said with a smile: "You can use the relationship and channels of Golden Harvest in the new line company to set up a horror film project here." ”
Golden Harvest Film and New Line Film Company have reached several cooperation as early as the last century.
Cheng Long's work "Red Fan Zone", which entered Hollywood, was released by New Line Films when it was released in North America.
In the 90s, Golden Harvest's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" sold $150 million at the North American box office, ranking fifth in the year at the time, which also helped New Line Films to become one of the strongest production and distribution companies in Hollywood from a small company that made small and medium-budget horror films in the 80s.
Therefore, Golden Harvest Films has a deep relationship with new line movies.
To a certain extent, Zhou Yutang also values the channel advantage of Golden Harvest Films.
Connections.
You can't do anything without these two, especially in the film and television industry.
It's not that if you have a good script in your hand, you can go to Hollywood and call for wind and rain, and a few big companies will kneel and lick you.
The discrimination here is still very serious.
But Zhou Yutang's identity is different.
At this time, he was the speaker of Jiahe, and inherited some of Zou Wenhuai's connections and resources.
Sort of.
He is in a position of dialogue with the new line company on an equal footing.
People who can do chess on their own.
Holding Liu Tianxian, Zhou Yutang said to Zou Zhongyan on the phone: "Sister Zou, help me make an appointment with Bob of the new line company, I want to talk to him." ”
