Chapter 103: Industrial layout, screenwriting department, uproar
“It’s true.”
Wang Fengqin knows her son very well and knows that he will not deal with this kind of issue joke.
Zhou Zhengping over there couldn't calm down after all. He took the phone from Ms. Wang Fengqin and asked, "Xiaotang, what's going on, how did you earn so much money?"
Zhou Yutang's parents had no idea about the entertainment industry. They thought it would be great for Zhou Yutang to get into the entertainment industry and earn a million a year.
This is also said on the Internet. Big stars only get a salary of one to two million for a movie. I heard my son admit that his net worth is eight figures.
Zhou Zhengping and Wang Fengqin were both stunned.
That’s tens of millions. Ordinary people can’t earn it even if they work for a lifetime.
Zhou Zhengping’s first reaction was that his heart sank.
He was worried that Zhou Yutang had made the money in some legal way.
Zhou Yutang also understood his father’s worries and explained, “Dad, Mom, have you seen the TV series Let’s Get Married that was broadcast on Suzhou TV Station not long ago?”
This The first round of the drama was jointly broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV and CCTV, and in the second round it was won by Shanghai TV and Jiangsu Province.
"It's still playing on the TV station."
Zhou Zhengping glanced at the TV in the living room, which was replaying the TV series.
“I wrote this script, and then a senior from the film school happened to take a fancy to it. He wanted to make it into a TV series, so I invested some money. Unexpectedly, it was bought by CCTV and Hunan Satellite TV. , and made a lot of money."
"When this movie was released at the beginning of the year, I was so busy that I didn't even return home. I ran for almost a month of promotion, and in the end the box office of the movie was okay. I I invested part of it and made a small profit
After adding my own royalties and miscellaneous income such as film remuneration, I almost made eight figures, but it was not as exaggerated as what was said on the Internet. "< /p>
Zhou Yutang hid a little.
Be prepared to reveal it to your family slowly.
Otherwise, if we tell the truth all at once, we are really afraid that Ms. Wang and Comrade Zhou will not be able to sleep at night.
There are indeed many talented people in Tianya these days, but that person can only estimate part of it. Investment contracts are confidential, and there is no way to calculate how much money Zhou Yutang makes from personal business performances and other activities.
Zhou Yutang’s true net worth is at least over 60 million, which is only much higher than the number revealed.
"When you make money, you must not be vague about paying taxes."
It took Zhou Zhengping a while to digest the result, and he spoke with difficulty.
"Dad, don't worry, I have hired a professional accountant to take care of my studio, and the taxes that should be paid are not less."
Zhou Yutang chuckled softly, "I can't pass it. How long will it take, maybe I can still receive a banner from my hometown government?”
“What a banner, what’s going on?”
"That's it. During the Chinese New Year, my studio negotiated with the local education department in Yancheng and donated 1 million, mainly for the renovation of school buildings and the purchase of books in backward areas, as well as to help students from poor families with their daily necessities. Dad, please help me take care of the supplies and school expenses when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, well done."
Zhou Zhengping just heard that Zhou Yutang's net worth is tens of millions. There was no such excitement, and the mood that had finally calmed down became turbulent again.
Suzhou is an economically strong province, but there are still very difficult places below.
Zhou Zhengping felt very relieved that Zhou Yutang could not forget his hometown after making money.
While chatting, Lao Zhou started to make old mistakes and started the education mode: "Xiaotang, it is not easy for you to do things now. Remember to think twice before taking action. Sometimes a small step back can lead to a few steps forward." Take a big step, even if you suffer a small loss in front of you, just know it in your heart."
Zhou Yutang responded for a while, then gave his mother a few words, and finally hung up the phone.
For the online store, Zhou Yutang hired professionals who specialize in e-commerce operations to help operate it.
Last year, hundreds of thousands were invested in the early stage, but profits were quickly achieved. Last year, the net profit was more than 1.8 million.
Because the patterns of the clothes are all designed in-house and the scale was still small last year, Zhou Yutang is going to ask Wang Fengqin to rent a factory of about 200 square meters as a pattern-making base.
Then find a reliable clothing processing factory to process the clothes designed by your own designer.
As the scale expands, the number of employees will also increase. Wang Fengqin has to hire a few more honest female college students to help out.
Zhou Yutang understands his parents. Instead of giving them money directly, it is better to make arrangements so that they can enjoy their lives.
In his expectation, if this model continues to develop, his parents' quality of life should be much improved compared to before.
Only when you have no worries can you make better progress.
During the following period, Zhou Yutang mainly focused on the early preparations for the latent crew.
I am also busy interviewing new screenwriters and setting up the studio's screenwriting department.
The current Zhou Yutang is no longer the unknown Nortel Xiao Zhou who was dedicated to coding.
Preparations for TV series, commercial performances, shooting for fashion magazines, and taking time to exchange art with Da Meiyuan who just returned from travel, and even chatting with several girls at night
It’s really Very busy.
I did most of the things I could recommend at the dinner.
There are some dinners that you should go to.
Others are easy to talk to. If Zhang Guoli invites you to dinner, then you have to give him this face.
Xu Jinglei promoted herself not long ago, so it was hard to avoid making an appointment for dinner this time.
Sister Yu came back to ask him to discuss the script, so she had to go
When it was released in those years, Sister Yu was still filming, so she left the crew behind and went to the cinema to watch the movie alone. , and sent it to Zhou YutangI received the message of congratulations, which is very interesting.
During this period, she often communicated with Zhou Yutang about the plot. When the filming progress encountered problems, she made an appointment to return to the capital in April to talk to him.
Zhou Yutang feels that his time management has been done well, but it is still not enough.
Writing the script must be put aside for the time being.
Zhou Yutang does not lack inspiration and creativity.
The most important thing is how to flesh out these ideas and story outlines into a complete story that can move people. This stage can only be polished by time and piled up detail by detail. It is not just a slap on the head and dozens of stories. Ten thousand words came out.
It is urgent to establish a screenwriting department. First, recruit a few new screenwriters who are valuable for training. I will control the general direction of the work, and leave the specific story and script details to the studio's screenwriting team. Finally, the screenwriting team will You decide the final quality of your work yourself.
Most well-known screenwriters in the industry can’t develop without two paths.
The first way is to cooperate with a big first-line director. As long as you have excellent works, fame and money are not a problem, and then you can take care of your apprentices. However, you must also look at the apprentice’s qualifications and understanding to become a teacher. usually keep one hand.
The second way is to be your own boss, which is the studio model that Zhou Yutang is currently following.
Two roads lead to the same destination.
The key is to find and recruit some new screenwriters who are down-to-earth, hard-working, obedient and capable.
These new screenwriters have a very low status when they first enter the industry. They don’t even need to give any signatures to their completed works. Many new screenwriters also acquiesce to this industry rule in order to gain experience.
Basic wages are paid during each shift, and commissions and bonuses are earned upon completion of the project.
There may not be much benefit in the short term, but in the long run, it is the key to Jiangdong Film and Television Culture becoming bigger and stronger.
The higher the overall level of the studio's screenwriting members, the better they will be able to produce high-quality scripts in the future, and the larger the project size, the better the development of the studio will naturally be.
It can also cultivate more new talents, which will have a positive impact on the film and television environment of the entire domestic entertainment circle.
The production of high-quality film and television dramas is equivalent to raising the audience's aesthetic standards in disguise.
In the future, the audience will also say that Jiangdong Film and Television Culture produces high-quality dramas. What kind of sleazy company you are just producing some bad dramas to fool the audience.
Do you still have a conscience?
What should I do?
Volume
The domestic entertainment film and television companies have all rolled it up for me. I can’t do it. If you produce high-quality content, you will be slowly eliminated by the market.
Of course, this is just Zhou Yutang’s ideal situation, and the specific details need to be implemented step by step.
There is really no shortage of good actors in China.
What is lacking are screenwriters who can adapt good stories into scripts, and directors who can film excellent scripts.
As long as you grasp the golden key of "high-quality content", then Zhou Yutang'sJiangdong film and television culture can definitely stand out in this circle.
In the early stage, the news that Jiangdong Film and Television Culture was recruiting screenwriters really attracted a lot of people to submit their resumes.
Mainly because of Zhou Yutang’s golden name.
Although Zhou Yutang’s debut time is short, the works he produced are very important.
The debut of "Want to See You" made him famous, making him one of the most popular idols in domestic entertainment.
The next one is Let’s Get Married, which set off a craze for love and marriage dramas. This year, several love and marriage dramas appeared on the market at once.
Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 was selected as one of the four beauties in the world and recognized as an ancient male god. Then in those years after the first film, he became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in three places, and his popularity skyrocketed.
Li Shuang is very capable at work. He selected a few resumes from hundreds of resumes and sent them to Zhou Yutang's mailbox.
Two of them are seniors from the Literature Department of the Film School, and one is a screenwriter.
There is a senior sister from the Literature Department named Zhu Lingyu. She has very good writing skills. She published a work under the banyan tree a few years ago. This was recommended by Teacher Yao.
The other is a resume submitted by myself.
She is also a senior sister from the film school, her name is Bao Jingjing, which makes Zhou Yutang’s eyes light up.
This sister published her own story on the Internet. Zhou Yutang read it briefly and rated it very highly.
The writing style is quite good and the emotions are delicate. I think he is a good writer in the youth emotion genre.
There is also a screenwriter named Ping Lao.
It can be seen that he has a lot of talent. He has won the second prize in two national new concept composition contests and has also been Guo Xiaosi's gunman. The advantage is that he has a great brain.
At this time, Guo Xiaosi was already well-known in the cultural circle. He set up his own studio to produce magazines. Even the great poet Chen invited him to adapt the film The Promise.
They are all talented people, so Li Shuang arranged the interview.
It is also the Four Seasons Hall of the Film Academy.
The most important thing is that it is close to the school and Zhou Yutang’s studio.
The first person to arrive was on the ground floor. His real name was Meng Haoran. He was a fat little man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked cheerful and cheerful.
After the simple greetings, Zhou Yutang asked with some curiosity, "You are from Xiaosi Studio, you should be considered a veteran, why do you want to come to my place?"
"I have been a gunman for that person for several years, and I get no benefits, not even a signed work. Last year, I talked to him about adding some bonuses. He told me to calm down and not just focus on the immediate interests. I just A man ran away with a bucket."
""
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched and he choked.
Very good and powerful, and for very good reasons.
We continued chatting for a while and got to know each other better.
This flat-level person can serve as Guo Xiaosi’s gun. His writing skills are quite solid, and he has a great imagination. After negotiating the salary conditions, he finalized it.Come on, this is the first employee of the screenwriting department of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio.
Next are the two senior sisters from the film school.
They were all our own people. The two sides hit it off immediately and reached an agreement quickly.
Bao Jingjing is even a fan of him. She is still studying in film school because she came here because of Zhou Yutang.
Facing senior Bao Jingjing’s requests for group photos, Zhou Yutang also complied with them one by one.
These are the studio’s future hard-working old scalpers and must be treated with gentleness.
Currently, a team of three people is tentatively decided, which is enough for the current scale of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio.
Zhou Yutang sent out the first task that day, which was the second and third seasons of the same school.
The basic story outline and character settings have been prepared, and then an outline is given, allowing these three new screenwriters from the studio to try their hand at completing the entire story.
Early April.
The news that Kodong Studio was planning a new project spread, causing an uproar.
But when I heard that it was a spy drama, many people were shocked.
Didn’t Zhou Yutang start his career in youth genre films? How could he start a TV series with the main theme?
However, within a few days, the book "Latent" aroused the interest of big names in the industry.
Sun Honglei, who just won Magnolia as the Emperor last year, participated in Poet Chen's film Mei Lanfang. He learned about the potential script from a friend and relied on many connections to find Zhou Yutang.
He wanted to play the leading actor Yu Zecheng, and even offered to cut his salary in half, which was quite sincere.
Sun Honglei is currently regarded as a first-line actor in China, and the ruthless Liu Huaqiang in Conquest is also regarded as a classic screen image. Now he is probably seeking a transformation.
Zhou Yutang was very moved by Sun Honglei's request, but declined in the end.
Although Sun Honglei has a higher status, Zhang Songwen is not bad either. Zhou Yutang had promised him before that he should not break his promise when doing things.
As for Sun Honglei, I can only say sorry. There may be another chance to cooperate in the future.
After this turmoil, Qian Qian became famous in the industry even before filming started.
Zhou Yutang, the gold-medal screenwriter who has never failed in the industry, has produced the latest film, and even Magnolia The Emperor wanted to star in it without paying for it.
Zhou Yutang received many calls and was so disturbed that he finally left the casting job to Brother Lin Liang.
Soon, the crew completed preliminary preparations and several main actors were confirmed.
Zhang Songwen plays the male lead Yu Zecheng, Zeng Li’s female lead Wang Cuiping, and Zu Feng’s teacher Li Ya.
This was the candidate chosen right after the project was established.
National first-class actor Feng Enhe plays webmaster Wu Jingzhong, and veteran actor Wu Gang plays Lu Qiaoshan.
The remaining supporting roles with few roles will be decided through auditions.
The global press conference of The King of Kung Fu was held in Beijing.
This super big production does not need any hype at all, it is inherently popular.
The top lineup of Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li, eldest brother Jackie Chan, Liu Yifei and Li Lianhua is simply invincible.
However, Huayi is playing with marketing and is slowly releasing the main actors’ looks.
Zhou Yutang didn’t go to the press conference, but Miss Liu reminded him last night that she wanted to treat him to dinner. On a whim, he checked the news on the portal and saw this incident, so he watched the scene on the computer in the studio. live streaming.
The embrace between eldest brother Jackie Chan and Kung Fu Emperor Li Lienjie spanning 15 years instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
Some unscrupulous media asked who was the king of kung fu. The two bosses responded quickly and both recommended Yuan Baye.
Wearing a white dress, Liu Yifei looks a bit like a fairy. Even Li Lianhua, the first sister of Huayi next to her, has almost become a foil.
When Jackie Chan was interviewed, he praised Liu Yifei without hesitation: "Liu Yifei is beautiful and speaks English well. The most important advantage is that she is young and very professional."
Zhou Yutang couldn't help laughing. Voice.
To translate, Liu Tianxian needs good looks and good acting skills.
Well, in addition to good looks, you can also add attitude. Zhou Yutang personally confirmed that Ms. Liu really worked hard for this drama.
Li Lienjie also gave high praise, "Liu Yifei will definitely be another star who can become popular in Hollywood after Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi."
Following this, director Rob Minkoff , also gave affirmation.
All kinds of rainbow farts.
It was Liu Yifei’s turn. Some trouble-loving media directly asked, "At the beginning of this year, your rumored boyfriend Zhou Yutang made a movie. The box office across the Taiwan Strait and the three places is nearly 2.6 billion, what do you think?"
"We are very good friends"
Liu Tianxian rolled his eyes in a very cryptic manner.
Zhou Yutang was shot while lying down. Just after the press conference, he received a call from Shu Chang
"Yu Tang, please have a big dinner. Sissi said to come over later. "
"The press conference is over, she will not attend the reception at Huayi."
"Sissi can't go anymore, she is waiting to eat your feast. "
""
Zhou Yutang reluctantly explained the work and chose a Korean restaurant where the two girls had been working for a long time.
First, he called and booked a private room. , drove off.
It was said that he was waiting for a big meal. In fact, it was a joke among friends that he had not seen Zhou Yutang for a long time.
Liu Yifei is a top-notch new generation girl in domestic entertainment. Xing has a strong ability to attract money. Even Shu Changna is a young rich woman who has acted in many movies in her early years and has a lot of savings. How can she be short of a meal?
"Okay, Boss Zhou with a net worth of tens of millions. You’ve already changed your car, right? Didn’t the news say you bought a Land Rover?”
At the door of the restaurant, Shu Chang smiled and came up to say hello.
Since we met at Tianxian’s house, , I often chatted in private, and after getting to know Miss Shu Chang,, you will find that this is a quite straightforward girl with no scheming ideas.
This is also the reason why Zhou Yutang can chat with him.
"Not worth mentioning."
Zhou Yutang said modestly, "The Land Rover is parked in the garage. The number is restricted in Beijing. I bought another big G two days ago."
After I bought a Land Rover, I later thought about it and thought that the Big G is not bad either.
Zhou Yutang chose to have them all. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
