Chapter 319 New Project Investment, Harvest at the Cocktail Party

The film market in September is still a matter of imported blockbusters.

"Transformers 3" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" are still being strangled, and "Team America" and "Norwegian Wood" have also appeared on stage.

Next up are "The Mechanic", "Berserk Speed", "Arthur's Kingdom 3".

Except for Mai Zhaoshen and Zhuang Wenqiang's "Eavesdropping 2", which barely stood on its feet, the box office reported 138 million in 10 days of release, and the rest of the domestic films were wiped out.

Zhou Yutang also took Liu Tianxian to the cinema to watch this movie.

It is a relatively good quality film in Hong Kong films in recent years, but it is definitely not to the point of being amazing.

But with such achievements, the Hong Kong media is already like being beaten with chicken blood, and all kinds of exaggerated reports have come out.

"The hope of the rise of Hong Kong Films!"

"Rivaling imported blockbusters, Hong Kong films are brilliantly reappearing, and they will go all out to hit 400 million."

"Those media are really playing the piano indiscriminately, how can there be a box office of 400 million?"

When Huo Wenxi, the party concerned, came to visit Zhou Yutang in the Jiangdong Entertainment Building, he couldn't help but complain about the Xiangjiang media.

According to this box office trend, the final box office may not be 300 million.

If you want to be a box office hit, you have to watch Zhou Yutang.

"Sister Mani."

Zhou Yutang also laughed softly: "I've really worked hard for you recently." ”

Huo Wenxi was also heartbroken.

After Chef Xie and Zhang Baizhi officially announced their separation, the turmoil broke out again.

Zhang Baizhi has a bit of a performative personality, and began to pretend to be pitiful in front of the media in order to win the sympathy of the public.

Chef Xie is Huo Wenxi's number one general, and Yinghuang is of course also supporting to the end.

There was a war of words between the two sides, and the news in the Hong Kong circle frequently made headlines.

"I can't get on the table."

Huo Wenxi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There was a mistake in the first place, and you can still be justified, don't say it!" ”

Zhou Yutang has Mao Xiaoyu by his side, a gossip queen.

Clear these gossips in the circle.

Not so long ago.

Zhang Baizhi took a plane to attend the wedding of Chen Jianzhou and Fan Weiqi, and there were Teacher Chen and Gillian on the plane.

When Gillian saw Teacher Chen, she took the initiative to avoid it.

But when Zhang Baizhi saw Chen Guanxi, he didn't shy away from it, not only took photos with him, but also chatted hotly along the way.

No wonder Chef Xie can't bear it, which man can bear it.

However, Huo Wenxi is a career-oriented strong woman after all, and quickly put these things aside and asked: "Ah Tang, "Kill the Wolf 2", what are you going to do?" ”

Yinghuang has a lot of money, and this year he will spend 500 million yuan to do film and television projects in one go, and what he lacks is good projects.

This year's "Anti-Drug" shines, and Zhou Yutang is now a sweet spot in Huo Wenxi's eyes.

"The movie budget project book has been made, Sister Mani, you can take a look at it first."

Zhou Yutang smiled and handed over the materials prepared by the film department in advance.

This movie, although the title is called "Slaying the Wolf 2", the plot has nothing to do with the first one.

But it's also an action scene.

The plot continues a line buried in "Lone Agent".

When it comes to the buying and selling of parts that can't be mentioned more, it must not be filmed in China, and it is the underworld forces outside the country that are being beaten.

The biggest attraction is, of course, the exciting action scenes.

Zhou Yutang contacted Tyrande through China Film Group, and finally got a response, and international martial arts superstar Tony Jia agreed to join.

Then there is the distribution of benefits, and it is still a few familiar families to get on the bus.

Huo Wenxi stayed in Zhou Yutang's office for an afternoon, made a lot of phone calls, and finally finalized the matter.

""Kill the Wolf 2" has a total investment of 120 million."

"Jiangdong's 35% investment share."

"China Film Group 20%."

"Yinghuang Group 20%."

"Light Media 15%."

"Wanda's 10% share."

The interests of all parties have been taken care of, and they are all relatively satisfied.

"Ah Tang, happy cooperation."

Huo Wenxi stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Yutang, with a happy smile on his face, and without waiting for Zhou Yutang to speak, he said first:

"Those who can work hard, the matter of casting, I have to trouble you to decide, I will fly back to Xiangjiang tomorrow, there is an urgent matter to deal with there."

"Sister Mani."

Zhou Yutang also laughed: "Let's have a meal together in the evening." ”

Work with women with high emotional intelligence.

It's that comfortable.

The editing of "Search" went very smoothly, and Zhou Yutang went to participate in the drinking party of Changtian, the king of light.

The light was successfully listed, and Wang Changtian can be described as proud.

Zhang Zhaogong failed to fight, and he was kicked out of Light Pictures, and turned to join LeTV Pictures and became the general manager of LeTV's film department.

After taking back the power in Zhang Zhao's hands, now Lao Wang is the only person who speaks to Guangguang.

Liu Yifei also received an invitation, and Zhou Yutang simply took her over.

This pair appeared and attracted the attention of countless people at the dinner.

Liu Yan, the host of the light, was also there, and when she saw Liu Yifei, she took the initiative to step forward and hold her hand:

"Yifei, you're so beautiful."

"What's the matter, Sister Liu Yan, you're good-looking."

A polite greeting between women is a business blow-up.

Liu Yan praised Liu Yifei's beautiful skirt, and Liu Yifei immediately praised Liu Yan's beautiful hair.

Sister Fairy is not uncannibalistic.

In the past, it was Aunt Liu who greeted her with these things, and she was still a little immature in terms of interpersonal relationships, but in recent years, Aunt Liu has gradually retreated behind the scenes, and Liu Yifei has gradually matured in interpersonal communication.

"When did you get on top of that?"

Zhou Yutang was a little curious.

"Sister Liu Yan I met on a variety show."

Liu Yifei also smiled lightly: "She takes good care of me, and we go shopping together in private." ”

"Yifei and I are good friends."

Liu Yan has a hot body, but she is actually quite a conservative girl in private, and she can talk to Liu Yifei very well.

While a few people were talking, Li Xiaoping came over to this side.

"Excuse me, Sister Yan, please take care of Sissi."

"Go ahead, wrap it up on me."

Liu Yan nodded slightly, her eyes moving between Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei.

immediately came to Liu Yifei's side and whispered something, Liu Yifei's cheeks instantly turned red.

"Yu Tang, did you invite you to the LeTV Film and Television Festival?"

"Please, I didn't come."

"Hehe, there's a lot of going on over there."

followed Li Xiaoping to Lao Wang's small circle, talked while walking, and talked about LeTV.

After Boss Jia went public, he continued to move, set up LETV Film and Television, and intended to become bigger, and a few days ago, he also held a LETV ceremony.

invited Liu Yan and Dai Jun to be hosts, and invited a large number of celebrities.

Zhang Baizhi, Donnie Yen and other Hong Kong celebrity representatives.

The boss of various film and television companies in the circle.

Great directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen and others.

Many famous producers also went to the show.

As long as you go, there are awards, and everyone is happy.

Zhou Yutang also received an invitation letter from Boss Jia, but he was busy doing the post-production of the movie, so he naturally didn't go.

I noticed what Wang Changtian was talking about with Cao Huayi and Mr. Hairun, and when I saw Zhou Yutang, my eyes lit up behind the lenses, and I said with a smile:

"Yu Tang, come on, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Liu of Hairun."

"Mr. Liu, I have admired my name for a long time."

are all in the same circle, Zhou Yutang has naturally heard of Hairun's name, and Liu Yanming is also the number one person.

"Jade Guanyin", "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes", "One Meter of Sunshine", "Blood Romance", and "Bright Sword" made by this company are all high-quality dramas.

Deng Chao's wife Sun Li was able to take the position, and it was Liu Yanming, the boss of Hairun, who became popular.

"Mr. Zhou, fortunately, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves."

Liu Yanming, the boss of Hairun, also shook hands with a smile, and patted each other on the shoulder familiarly, with a very polite attitude.

"Liu is always a senior, I want to learn from Mr. Liu."

"Haha, where is it, Hairun will make movies in the future, and I will have to learn from you."

Although Hairun was strong before, its development has not been smooth in recent years, far less than Jiangdong Entertainment, which is in the limelight, and it is unthinkable that it is ready to transform into a movie.

Think about it, too.

Zhou Yutang heard some rumors, Liu Yanming caught up with the line of Du Qifeng, a big director in the Hong Kong circle, and was ambitious to enter the film industry.

It's all in the film and television industry, so naturally there is a lot to talk about.

The most talked about is the drama "Jingzhong Yue Fei".

At the beginning, the Xiangjiang team was invited to participate in the production of the script.

But later Zhou Yutang entered, so the screenwriter team of the Xiangjiang people naturally stood aside.

Zhou Yutang had awe-inspiring respect for Yue Wumu in his heart.

Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons.

Mother-in-law tattoos, loyal to the country.

A song full of river red, how magnificent and intense.

He was very dissatisfied with the original script, the plot was too protracted, and the emotional drama was too crooked.

I invited several senior scholars who have studied the background history of the two Song Dynasty to find a relationship, and the details are detailed.

Wang Changtian has cooperated with Zhou Yutang many times, and he has no opinions, and as for Cao Huayi of Xinli Media, he also showed great sincerity.

This is not something that can be done overnight.

Zheng Xiaolong and his wife have been busy for nearly a year before and after "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

The screenwriting team of Jiangdong Entertainment's creation center also has to do the script of "Celebrating More Than Years" at the same time, which is not enough.

Zhou Yutang was chatting here, his eyes glanced slightly, and he saw a person: "Mr. Liu, can you introduce you to Teacher Yu?" ”

"You say Lao Yu?"

Liu Yanming was also slightly stunned, and immediately brought Yu Rongguang over.

This is also an old actor, and the "Letter to Dad" that he cooperated with Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie left a deep impression on Zhou Yutang, and there is a line that Yu Rongguang said to the Kung Fu Emperor is very classic,

"It's only a few hundred yuan a month, what kind of life are you playing!"

This line later became a very popular meme on the Internet.

Yu Rongguang himself is also an old actor with very good acting skills.

Loyalty, treachery, good and evil, are at your fingertips.

Zhou Yutang asked Liu Yanming to match.

But it's not just for him.

The young man next to Yu Rongguang who wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked a little more literate attracted his attention.

Wang Hao participated in such a drinking party, and he was more or less at a loss.

Everyone was busy socializing, and he ate steak in the corner.

To say that he entered the film and television industry is pure coincidence.

In his early years, he worked as a designer, and later served as the screenwriter and post-coordinator of the urban sitcom "Urban Men and Women", and became a screenwriter halfway through.

was favored by Yu Rongguang, and the two hit it off and collaborated on several plays.

Jiang Xiaorong, a producer from Hairun + director Yu Rongguang + screenwriter Wang Hao, this set of glory combination configuration is also a very powerful combination in the industry.

successively produced the border trilogy that was later considered to be the representative work of the "Glory Group" - "The Legend of Dance and Music" with a Douban score of 8.7, "Mufu Fengyun" with 8.3 and "The Legend of Nanqiao Mechanic Heroes" with 8.2.

But the current Glory Combination has just started, and it is not so powerful.

Wang Hao is also a newcomer.

Naturally, he is not a top screenwriter.

So when he saw Yu Rongguang bringing Zhou Yutang over to say hello, the whole person was a little confused.

Zhou Yutang's reputation in the screenwriter circle can be said to be in full swing.

Aside from the reeds, those older generation of gold medal screenwriters don't care.

He is recognized as the first screenwriter of the new generation.

For capable people, Zhou Yutang has always been very polite.

took the initiative to say a few words of greeting, and after the polite process, Zhou Yutang took the whole conversation rhythm, knowing that Wang Hao did not sign the company, and then directly cut to the point.

"I'm working on the project "Jingzhong Yue Fei" in my hands, and I don't have enough people in my hands, are you interested in joining the screenwriting team to help me do things?"

Originally, there was a guess about Zhou Yutang's intention, but Wang Yu was slightly stunned, and then he was ecstatic.

It's probably the equivalent of Jackma asking a small businessman to participate in Ali's project.

It's pie in the sky!

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say this, Zhou Yutang's current financial resources can't be compared with Jack Ma.

But his status in the entertainment industry is probably equivalent to Jack Ma who makes countless people compete to recognize his father.

Being able to participate in the film and television projects controlled by the industry's top gold medal screenwriters is equivalent to gold plating, which is very attractive to people in the film and television industry.

"Mr. Zhou, how did you think of looking for him?"

It could be seen that Wang Hao was a little excited, and he didn't know what to say, so Yu Rongguang patted him on the shoulder and took the initiative to ask for his good buddy.

Zhou Yutang said with a smile: "I have watched the "Detective Chengxu: Dragon City Years" you made, the script is good, and it is quite an interesting TV series." ”

At that time, he had just started not long ago, and the detective suspense TV series written by Wang Hao and starring Yu Rongguang , Gan Tingting, etc., had good ratings, and later released a second season.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your kindness, it's not that I don't want to agree."

Wang Hao glanced at Yu Rongguang, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Now I am putting the finishing touches on a script, and I may not be free to do other scripts." ”

"Don't be too busy refusing it."

Yu Rongguang hurriedly rounded his words back: "Mr. Zhou, your vision is really good, Wang Hao is very capable, he helped me make the script of "Mufu Fengyun", it is almost completed, and I can fully participate in Mr. Zhou's project."

Everybody knows.

In the entertainment industry, climbing up to Zhou Yutang is tantamount to making steady progress.

The screenwriter's studio under him, which is also the Jiangdong Creation Center that is rumored in the circle, is famous and placed in martial arts, which is the legendary martial arts holy land.

Popular film and television scripts such as "You from the Star" and "Hello, Old Times" were born there.

Zhou Yutang is the boss of the Jiangdong Creation Center, and the screenwriters under him, such as Pingli and August Chang'an and others, are now all first-line screenwriters in the benchmark drama circle, and even have wealthy film and television companies.

It can be seen that Yu Rongguang really regards Wang Hao as a friend.

"Mufu Fengyun"?"

Hearing the title of this play, Zhou Yutang's eyes condensed slightly.

"yes."

Yu Rongguang also sighed: "The script of this drama is not easy to do, I have done it for more than ten years and changed it more than a dozen times, and it is almost done now."

Zhou Yutang understood.

This drama is about the story of the changes in the Mu family during the local reign of the Naxi Mu Tusi in Yunnan Province in the Ming Dynasty.

"The subject matter is very new and interesting."

"What do you think of Mr. Zhou?"

Yu Rongguang saw Zhou Yutang's interested, and a happy look appeared on his square face: "You can read the script of this drama first and give some guidance." ”

"Don't dare to guide, let's communicate."

The drinks will be thrown aside.

Several people found a corner and sat down and began to talk about the show.

"The script is almost finished, and the investment has not yet been negotiated."

Yu Rongguang said this in his mouth, and his eyes fell on Zhou Yutang.

He participated in today's drinking party in order to attract investment in this drama.

The moment I saw Zhou Yutang.

I have an idea in my heart.
