Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Chapter 489 What a monster, Aunt Liu at the night party



The last Weibo night.

Zhou Yutang is the well-deserved King of Weibo, and Liu Shishi is the Queen of Weibo.

The two people holding hands were so enthusiastic that they almost destroyed Sina's server that night.

On the Weibo Night that just concluded, Yang Mi was awarded the title of "Weibo Night Queen", while the "Weibo Night KING" was awarded to the popular niche player Feng Shaofeng.

in addition.

Gulinazha became a big hit because of "Now You See Me" and won the Newcomer Award.

Zhou Runfa is this year’s Weibo Person of the Year.

There are also many miscellaneous awards, including the main ones. There is a lot of discussion on the Internet, and fans of various companies start to go crazy.

"Without Zhou Yutang, even Feng Shaofeng can become the king? Isn't he stuffed with money?"

"Just take a look. Which one, Hu Ge or Zhu Yilong, is not higher than Feng Shaofeng?"

"It's the same after Weibo. How can Yang Mi compare to Liu Yifei? Xian is a heroine with a box office of over one billion."

"This time I choose Da Mimi. She treats her fans as family, and even posts photos of her pajamas directly on Weibo, just to show off a bit·jpg" - Ye Baixuan

Because of Zhou Yutang, Yang Mi's reputation is much better than that of the original time and space.

It was only this year that her acting skills in Reply 1997 were well received. If it were not for Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi being led by Zhou Yutang, her performance would have been so overbearing that she would have almost no rivals in all the contemporary actresses.

Damimi is far more active on Weibo than Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi.

Celebrities these days have not realized that the Internet has memory. Damimi basically uses Weibo as a circle of friends to post.

She even posted photos of slightly larger nightgowns, feasting the eyes of netizens.

Before going to America, Zhou Yutang greeted Mr. Cao of Sina.

From Mr. Cao's point of view, he naturally hopes that Zhou Yutang can be present.

With this huge wave of traffic, the scandal will be hyped up and the topic will be full.

It’s just that Zhou Yutang doesn’t really want to earn this kind of exposure.

As long as he's here.

There is no doubt that he is the king of Weibo every year.

Such a false reputation will not bring any actual benefits. On the contrary, it may trigger the Shura field, which is really a headache.

"Mimi, are you okay?"

Zeng Jia saw Yang Mi staggering, holding her waist with one hand, and swaying into the car. She quickly came over to support Yang Mi and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm fine."

"Mimi."

Zeng Jia pointed to the mark on Yang Mi's collarbone, her expression twitching slightly, "You... are a little too crazy!"

"Nothing, just a mosquito bite."

Yang Mi put on a black turtleneck sweater, covering it up tightly, and smoothed her wavy hair, pretending that nothing happened.

After spending the night with Zhou Yutang, Yang Mi's delicate cheeks became more and more radiant: "Sister Jia, have my schedule been arranged?"

"It's arranged."

There is no doubt about Zeng Jia's professionalism: "I will have an exclusive interview with you in the capital later. Do you want me to take another half-day off to go home and take a look?"

"Forget it, Director Guo is urging me urgently."

Yang Mi thought for a while and decided to pass through the house without entering.

I had promised to go home after Weibo Night, but I couldn't help but let Lao Yang go. He turned around and attacked the Governor of Jiangdong at night.

"Tiny Times" is a two-part series, and it has to be completed before the Chinese New Year, so she has a lot of roles.

Zhou Yutang, on his side, was also dumbfounded by the big reveal from the crew last night.

People always have selfish desires.

Ordinary people are extremely interested in the private lives of entertainment stars, but access channels are limited, and online information is always specious.

In fact, the stars in the circle also eat all sorts of things.

And because of my work, I have been exposed to a lot of more real and exciting material.

What is popular is the unspoken rules, which is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.

Sometimes, it's not necessarily the actresses who are lurked, but even the handsome actors can't escape the clutches of rich women.

The worst thing is when there are men on top of men.

Chen Xiao from Zhou Yutang's own company was also a promising young student in Huayi, but he jumped out of the car because he resisted similar things, and ended up being buried in the snow.

When I talked about this with Ni Ni in the car, she also expressed that it was an eye-opener: "Mr. Zhou, I think our company should be the least social in the industry."

"This little light is pretty good."

Zhou Yutang thought of the time when he and Li Xiaoping were talking about cooperation and when it was time for dinner, they invited him to have a bowl of Lanzhou Ramen.

Although Guangguang Laowang has the same surname as Hua Yi and the other two, Laowang is the type who wants to have a good career and doesn't have so many tricks.

So Zhou Yutang prefers to cooperate with Guangguang Laowang.

First, he went to China Film Academy for a script reading meeting, where Zhou Yutang met the actors from "In the Name of the People".

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Wu, Teacher Xu"

"Mr. Han, Director Li, Director Kong."

The first brother of the Tang Dynasty always calls everyone "teacher" when meeting people. When meeting directors such as Han Sanping and Li Lu, he bows slightly and his attitude is very respectful.

Hu Ge is very popular, but he still shows enough respect in front of seniors such as Han Sanping, Li Lu, and Zhang Fengyi.

This is also one of the advantages of Lao Hu. He is a humble young man and as gentle as jade.

When I met Zhou Yutang, I was not polite and gave him a friendly hug.

The TV series "In the Name of the People" is being fully promoted under the leadership of China Film Group Corporation, and the preliminary preparations are almost complete.

Such a project is authorized by the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center. Even if it is an unpopular anti-corruption TV series, Mr. Han's face is there, coupled with Zhou Yutang's appeal, it is not difficult to assemble a financial package.

Currently, four companies hold up 80 million yuan in funding for "In the Name of the People."

China Film Group led by Han Sanping, Jiangdong Entertainment owned by Zhou Yutang, Enlight Media owned by Wang Changtian, and the last one was Galloping Pony led by Zhou Yutang.

Brother Big Dog made a bet with capital to take Pony Operations public. Judging from the current situation, it was still close to success, so Zhou Yutang made a smooth favor.

In fact, the actors in this drama are not very well paid. Including Hu Ge and Zeng Li, there are more than 80 actors in the drama, but the total salary does not exceed 20 million.

The current market price is somewhat inflated.

For a regular film and television project, if Zhou Yutang is to be the screenwriter and producer, the starting price is at least tens of millions, and an additional share of the project must be given, otherwise there is no need to even talk about it.

But in this drama, he only received 2 million.

Although the Governor of Jiangdong did not appear in the role, he played a leading role in the role of a fairy, and no one had the nerve to take more.

Zeng Li and Hu Ge also received the package price of 1.8 million.

Zeng Li's current market price for external TV series is around 500,000-750,000 per episode, and Hu Ge is probably in this range.

As for other veteran drama stars, they are not expensive in themselves, and the salary cost of the entire drama is kept very low. This is also due to the high ideological awareness of everyone.

certainly.

The announced remuneration price will definitely be higher than the actual price. The entire drama "In the Name of the People" is claimed to be a large investment of 120 million.

Han Sanping also asked someone to check the date, and it is expected to be launched on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Today's script reading is a gathering of the director, screenwriter, actors and other creative teams.

Let's discuss the characters, lines, plot and other details together.

The director needs to deliver the effect he wants and help the actors better understand and grasp the character's personality, emotions, and relationships with other characters.

At the same time, the actors will have a flash of inspiration and look at the character from different directions, which will also help the director and screenwriter discover and correct possible problems and deficiencies in the script.

"In this drama, we have Shang Fang's sword, so don't worry."

Han Sanping waved his hand and spoke very domineeringly: "Recently, the intensity of anti-corruption news has been very high. The style of the entire film and television production should also take a step forward. For this drama, we have achieved the second grade. This level of intensity has never been seen before. Yes, Yu Tang, tell me what you think!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Yutang.

Zeng Li looked at Zhou Yutang with her beautiful eyes as she picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She looked like an old cadre and couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle.

Zhou Yutang took a sip of tea and was called upon by Han Sanping, and then he spoke slowly: "Mr. Han said it very well, but in our drama, we still have to pay attention to the impact, and don't deliberately show the process, and don't describe it too obviously. Scenes of corruption.”

"What we need to do is to focus on the storyline and rely on the flesh-and-blood characters in the play, their personalities and fates to achieve the purpose of attracting the audience."

"Director Li, tell me what you think."

Han Sanping called Director Li Lu's name, and Director Li said with emotion: "Thank you, Mr. Han and Mr. Zhou, for giving me this opportunity. I think many of you here are like me. It is an honor to be able to participate in such a project."

"When I was in my thirties, I was the deputy director in charge of production at Jinling Film Studio. Later I was responsible for managing film and television dramas in Jiangsu Province for more than ten years. I have a very good understanding of the status of officials in the system and the status of officials at different levels."

"I will briefly talk about a few details, such as how the Provincial Party Committee's Standing Committee meeting is held. In the past, the leaders sat at both ends, but now the leaders sit in the middle. These are all arranged."

"This is something I have personally experienced. After discussing with Yu Tang, I specially gave Sha Ruijin a hobby of playing basketball."

"I also think that Director Li's point is very good."

Zhou Yutang nodded secretly in his heart.

After several exchanges, he discovered that the big boss in Zhou Ningfeng's camp really had two skills.

Li Lu and Han Sanping are both living fossils in the system. They have rich experience and can fill in many official details for this drama.

Art transcends life, but it ultimately comes from life.

In this type of drama, only when the details are in place and look real enough can the audience feel more involved.

Zhang Fengyi nodded with enlightenment and took a pen to record in his notebook.

He plays the important role of Sha Ruijin in this drama. Today he is wearing a black jacket and has a solemn expression. He really looks like a border official.

Then, after going through the lines again, after the script reading meeting was over, Hu Ge took the initiative to find Zhou Yutang and gave him a wry smile: "Yu Tang, I was shocked."

Filming has not officially started, but just speaking lines with veteran actors made Tangren No. 1 brother feel a lot of pressure.

Zhou Yutang mourned for Lao Hu in his heart, but patted Hu Ge on the shoulder and comforted him with a few words: "This is normal. This drama is full of veteran actors. You are still young. Think more and ask for more advice. You can learn as much as you can. The more plays you do, the more you can get through it slowly."

Hu Ge's talent is not top-notch, but his acting skills are at least passable, and he is relatively motivated. He has been practicing his acting skills through dramas in private.

Just put him in front of these veteran actors, and the gap is immediately apparent.

"Well, you comforted me deeply."

After being fed a bowl of chicken soup by Zhou Yutang, Hu Ge felt as if he had been charged by a power bank and full of power again, but when he looked back, he felt something was wrong.

He was several years older than Zhou Yutang, but Zhou Yutang said he was still young, which felt a bit weird.

But when he thought of Zhou Yutang's amazing achievements, Hu Ge shook his head and laughed, and was immediately relieved.

This monster really cannot be deduced using common sense.

The Spring Festival is less than a month away, but the official Weibo account of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala released a shocking news:

"Recently, Zhao Bensan has been actively preparing for the Year of the Snake Spring Festival Gala, hoping to bring joy to the audience on New Year's Eve."

"However, during the continuous polishing process of the program, Zhao Bensan always felt that the work failed to meet his psychological expectations. After careful consideration, Zhao Bensan decided to give up the opportunity to appear on the Year of the Snake Spring Festival Gala."

"In this regard, the Spring Festival Gala crew fully understands and respects Zhao Bensan's decision, sincerely thanks him for his efforts in the Spring Festival Gala, and expresses deep regret."

During the Spring Festival for many years, many audiences came to watch Uncle Benshan's skits.

But from now on, Uncle Ben's sketches may become famous in the world.

Jiangsu TV acted very quickly and immediately announced that Zhao Bensan will participate in this year's Jiangsu TV Spring Festival Gala. Zhou Yutang's girl group Tara is also a guest performer at this year's Jiangsu TV Spring Festival Gala.

After Zhou Ningfeng came to power, he made drastic decisions and was extremely courageous.

"Extreme Challenge", which became a phenomenon-level hit variety show this year, and "Celebrating More Than Years", which is still on the air, were won by him based on his close relationship with Zhou Yutang.

This young new station director of Jiangsu Province has mastered the traffic password, and for a while, he is also in the limelight.

Originally, Mango Channel was recognized as the king of ratings apart from CCTV. However, in recent years, the ratings of Mango Channel's veteran variety show "Happy Camp" have been declining year after year. "Where Are We Going, Dad?" After all, the "Extreme Challenge" produced by Provincial TV is a little less interesting.

By the second half of the year, the overall ratings of Jiangsu Province Channel had surpassed Mango Channel and kept pace with Magic City Channel.

Within Yusanjia, Mango Channel, which has the strongest foundation, is at a disadvantage in the ratings competition.

Decisively released the materials of the latest variety show "Flowers and Boys", which is the latest variety show launched by Mango and Mingjie Company.

"A reality show hosted by Zhou Yutang for a self-guided trip between celebrities and siblings."

"Zheng Peibei, Zhang Kaili, Xu Qing, Jia Jingwen, Jin Daxi, Jing Boran, Hua Chengyu, is this the final guest lineup?"

"Want to turn travel into a variety show? Zhou Yutang has so many ideas."

"It's not a pure tour. In the show, two teenagers lead five sisters on a fifteen-day journey. There is no agent, no assistants, and limited daily living expenses. They are in a place they are not familiar with, and even In a country where they don't speak the same language at all, celebrity siblings complete a backpacking trip to a foreign country."

"Sounds interesting."

This variety show on Mango Channel has been hyped for some time before, so it has attracted a lot of attention.

During the last video conference discussion with Zhang Yibei and Liao Ke from Mango Channel, we still wanted to invite Zhou Yutang to be a guest in the first season.

"If Mr. Zhou can come."

Director Liao Ke, who has a big brain, confidently issued a military order: "I am confident that the ratings of the first season will exceed three!"

He thought very clearly that with Zhou Yutang, traffic would be guaranteed, but he was worried that there would be no ratings?

"Director Liao."

Zhou Yutang declined with a smile: "My schedule here is really tight. We will work together next time if we have a chance."

If he hadn't been cooperating with the drama promotion work of "Celebrating More Than Years", he would have been busy with the preparations for the "In the Name of the People" project, and there would have been an official seminar to hold.

He really wanted to take on the variety show "Flowers and Boys".

The show is expected to start recording in January, and the first season will be filmed in Italy and Spain, which means that you can travel abroad and have fun.

When the time comes, take Liu Yifei with you and practice immortality day and night. Wouldn't it be like becoming a god in one day?

However, there are too many things on hand at the end of the year. This travel variety show is said to be a fifteen-day journey. In fact, the entire recording of the material is expected to take nearly twenty days to a month. By then, there will be no need to travel back and forth between China and abroad.

"All right."

Liao Ke scratched his shiny head, with regret in his tone, and sent a rainbow fart along the way: "Congratulations to Director Zhou, the ratings of "Celebrating More Than Years" have exploded."

"I also wish Director Liao smooth filming."

Zhou Yutang also said a few polite words to Liao Ke.

He also hopes that the higher the ratings, the better. The guaranteed production fee signed by Mingjie plus the floating profit sharing is linked to the ratings.

There are really many talents in the Mango series. Zhang Yibei worked on "Tian Tian Shang Shang" back then, and director Liao Ke once worked on "Super Girl".

This is one of the driving forces behind the start of the first year of the Chinese draft, and he is quite capable.

"Boss, Jin Daxi is the one who pushed, right?"

"Um."

After the video conference call ended, Zhou Yutang chatted with Ni Ni and took a look at the variety show project plan.

Hua'er's guest in this variety show also caused many people to compete for their heads. In the end, after some exchange of interests, Jing Bairan from Huayi was chosen.

Zhou Yutang found Jing Bairan much more pleasing to the eye than Zhang Han.

""The Grandmaster" grossed 178 million at the box office in its first week, setting a new career high for the Sunglasses King!"

"Brother Jackie Chan's "Zodiac" has a total box office of more than 838 million, and the legend continues!"

"The total box office of "Now You See Me" is as high as 1.668 billion. Director Zhou Yutang became a god in one battle and was promoted to a super first-tier commercial film director in Asia!"

With corpses on the ground under their feet, the Lunar New Year movie has finally come to an end. "The Grandmaster" has begun to dance alone, and at this time, the movies scheduled for the Spring Festival movie have also begun to receive overwhelming publicity.

Zhou Yutang saw the character poster of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" on his way to an appointment at Aunt Liu's dinner.

He doesn't appreciate Shu Qi's atmospheric beauty, but Luo Zhixiang's empty son. The four mothers-in-law beside him are accompanying her all the way, looking full of smiles.

The audience is always full of expectations for Zhou Xingxing's movies.

"Yu Tang, you're here."

Seeing Zhou Yutang enter the box, the three women who were talking and laughing stood up together.

"Auntie, we have a meeting to hold, so we've been delayed a bit."

Zhou Yutang smiled warmly and took off his coat.

The temperature outside was below zero, but it was quite warm inside the box.

Aunt Liu was in a daze as she watched her daughter stand up on her own initiative and awkwardly help Zhou Yutang hang her coat on the hanger.

She suddenly remembered the time when she was on the set.

It was very windy that day and it happened to be raining lightly.

Liu Yifei was wrapped in her ancestral maroon cotton-padded jacket and was reading a book, while she stayed with Liu Yifei and held an umbrella for her.

At that time, Liu Yifei was so small, but she grew up into a big girl in the blink of an eye.

"Mom, what are you doing standing around here, are you serving food?"

Looking at the watch on Zhou Yutang's wrist, Liu Yifei beamed.

Aunt Liu, who was caught up in the beautiful memories of mother and daughter in the past, was suddenly interrupted by her daughter. The good memories of the past disappeared in her mind like a tide, and she glanced at Zhou Yutang.

The older I get, the more I have my own ideas, and the ancestral cotton-padded jacket is leaking.

"Auntie, have I kept you waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just arrived."

Aunt Liu smiled and waved: "Xiao Zhou, sit down quickly."

Zhou Yutang sat down opposite Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu is quite careful in her work, because there are only four people gathering together and they asked for a small box.

In this way, it won't look a bit empty because of the distance. A few people sitting together will have a warm feeling.

Next to her were Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and opposite her sat Zhou Yutang. She also knew that he was from Su Province, so she even took the trouble to order Subang cuisine.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I just ordered some dishes."

Aunt Liu enthusiastically used chopsticks to pick up a lion's head for Zhou Yutang, and said to Yan Yan with a smile: "I heard that the taste here is very good. Try it and see if it is authentic."

Shu Chang was a little surprised, and at the same time, he gave Zhou Yutang a subtle look, meaning that Boss Zhou, you are really awesome.

Liu Yifei's ability to grow up innocently in this circle is mostly due to Aunt Liu.

In the past, when any adult male approached Liu Yifei, she would be wary, and only Zhou Yutang could enjoy such services.

"very nice."

Zhou Yutang took a brief taste and nodded in praise.

Aunt Liu herself has a very high style. She treats guests to dinner, which is not favored by ordinary places. The food in this restaurant is really the handiwork of the Subang cuisine chef.

Just looking at the Wensi Tofu, you can see that the chef's skills are absolutely extraordinary.

They were all women, so they drank some freshly squeezed orange juice. The meal was quite relaxing. After all, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were both members of the same family.

After the dish was over, Aunt Liu suddenly said: "Sissi, go check with Changchang and see why the ham I wanted hasn't been served yet."

"Eh."

Shu Chang knew that it was Aunt Liu who wanted to say something to Zhou Yutang, so he had the foresight to pull Liu Yifei to her feet, whispered something in her ear, and the two girls went out with smiles on their faces.

I'm most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.

What I'm most afraid of is the sudden concern in my aunt's eyes.

Aunt Liu across from her looked at him with such a kind smile. Zhou Yutang stopped his chopsticks, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"Xiao Zhou, eat, why don't you eat?"

"That, Auntie."

Zhou Yutang took out a pack of cigarettes and put it on the table. He opened it and took out one. After thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate.

Miss Liu didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so she held it in her hand and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Just smoke it, it doesn't matter."

Aunt Liu thought Zhou Yutang was looking for a lighter, so she leaned forward and picked up a lighter next to his cigarette case.

Ding!

After groping for a while, I finally found the switch. The silver lighter was turned on, and a scarlet flame suddenly lit up.

Zhou Yutang has no craving for cigarettes, and he had no intention of smoking at first, but the atmosphere was here, and he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he lowered his head slightly, turned his head and nodded.

"Thank you very much for Sissi's matter."

"After all, I am also a shareholder of Hongxingwu."

Zhou Yutang held the cigarette between his fingers and waited for it to light up on his fingertips.

After making a deal with Huayi and cleaning up Aunt Liu's mess, he hired a professional team to help reorganize Hongxingwu. He also took some shares and placed his own people in Liu Yifei's assistant team.

He could hear that Aunt Liu's gratitude came from the bottom of her heart, and he could also faintly feel that this woman seemed to have something else to say.
