Chapter 118: Giving birth to a child should be like Zhou Yutang
Zhou Yutang really did not come to Xiangjiang for women.
But do business.
Money and power are always a man’s best clothes.
When you put on this layer of gorgeous clothes, you don’t have to look for women, those beautiful women will take the initiative to find you.
The lone agent who cooperated with China Film Group this time will directly affect Zhou Yutang's future status.
If the movie explodes at the box office.
Then his status will rise directly.
After his debut, he has become a hit, and people in the industry will respect him like a god.
If the movie box office performance is not satisfactory.
Then Zhou Yutang's development will be slightly hindered, and Han Sanping's trust may also be eroded.
After all, Mr. Han was cheated by Wu Baige just once. He was really hurt. Now he pinned 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 to be an artistic photo without any concealment.
I glanced at it and threw it aside.
Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and put the alluring things behind him.
I opened my laptop, reviewed it, and sorted out my thoughts.
The other side.
Huo Wenxi hung up Zhou Yutang's call and dialed Yang Shoucheng's personal number directly, "Hey, boss, Zhou Yutang refused."
"Oh"
Boss Yang was slightly surprised and asked, "How did you arrange it?"
"Models from Xiangjiang, Neon, South Korea, Xiangjiang, and Eastern Europe, more than a dozen upright and beautiful girls, pure and cool. There are all types, but he didn’t like any of them."
Huo Wenxi said helplessly.
I have long heard that Zhou Yutang was a romantic and talented man.
She had made public relations preparations in advance.
Beauties from all over the world, fat and thin, absolutely enjoying themselves like an emperor.
And with the Yinghuang Group covering this place, there is no risk at all, and few men can withstand it.
As a result, Zhou Yutang didn’t click on any of them.
Is there really a cat in the world that doesn’t eat fish?
Or is this young man’s determination too strong?
Huo Wenxi was a little curious.
"Haha, 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 man who does big things. Now I understand why Han Sanping Take a good look at him."
The next day.
The Peninsula Hotel.
Zhou Yutang met the famous Yuan Baye.
Although he is over sixty years old, he is still in good spirits. He wears a pair of cloth shoes and moves with great awe.
Yuan Baye made his debut in the 1960s, first as a dragon and tiger martial artist, and later as an action instructor.Ten years have witnessed the golden age of Hong Kong movies. During this period, he also won the Best Action Directory at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Wanwan Golden Horse Awards.
This is the well-deserved No. 1 action director in Hong Kong. Throughout the films he has participated in directing action scenes, there are Once Upon a Time series, Zhang Sanfeng, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Matrix series, Kill Bill, Kung Fu, Fearless
From this pile of works, if you choose one at random with your eyes closed, it will be a classic worth recalling in decades to come.
In terms of performance alone, Xiangjiang action director Yuan Laoruo would be ranked second, but no one would dare to be ranked first.
Zhou Yutang only met Mr. Yuan because of the favor of Han Sanping and Yinghuang Yang.
Yuan Baye is the action director of The King of Kung Fu, which was released this year. It bombed the box office. The old man is in a depressed mood and is currently on vacation in Hong Kong.
Zhou Yutang stood up to greet him, "Hello, Mr. Yuan."
"Xiao Zhou, you're welcome."
Mr. Yuan smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Yang." Tell me, you said hello to me, what is the plot and overall style of this movie?"
Action guidance does not just mean fighting. It is divided into several types according to the type of movie.
Just like Jackie Chan's comedy action movies, it is completely different from the realistic style of martial arts action movies such as Sha Po Lang and Fuse. The former is thrilling and humorous, while the latter is full of punches and flesh, which is very visual. Impact.
I briefly shared my thoughts with Mr. Ba, and the two quickly reached an agreement.
The movie "The Lonely Agent" is not a simple action movie. Strictly speaking, it is more like a drama film.
Use the innocence and pity of the little girl Xiaomei to stimulate the softest part of the audience's heart.
Then the viciousness and terror of the criminal group want to destroy this soft beauty, and then use the violent methods of the male protagonist to vent the audience's angry emotions.
"This script is very murderous."
Yuan Lao read the script and frowned, "In the last paragraph, should I set it to the hero being defeated by the villain's ultimate killer? And then fight back"
This is the routine of most Hong Kong action movies.
The male protagonist is very powerful, but at the end of the fight, he will always be defeated by the enemy once, and then the small universe will explode and narrowly defeat the powerful enemy.
"No, the key point is the rhythm of the story. Xiaomei's arrest can already arouse the audience's emotions."
Zhou Yutang shook his head, "The male protagonist can be shot and injured, but not He may be defeated, but his strength is invincible."
"This is a bit like a Hollywood hero movie." Mr. Yuan watched it for the second time and rubbed his chin with his palm.
The Hollywood movies starring Tom Cruise are the ultimate in personal heroism, and the protagonists are basically all-powerful supermen.
In Zhou Yutang's movie, the male protagonist's background character is the super ace of the Dragon Kingdom's secret special forces.
So force versus crimeThe thugs of the criminal group launched a dimensionality reduction attack.
It means killing indiscriminately.
Only the last and ultimate killer of the criminal group can fight it.
Of course, such a ruthless person can only barely fight, and is quickly killed by the protagonist.
It is somewhat similar to the invincible article among Internet articles.
The pursuit is the pleasure of horizontal push.
The two chatted a lot about the script. Mr. Yuan was a little curious and asked, "A Tang, who are you going to find to play the ultimate killer of the criminal organization?"
"Tony Jaa "
Zhou Yutang raised the teacup and took a sip.
Yuan Baye, who was opposite, was also slightly moved, "Can you invite this person?"
Tony Jia is very famous now.
In 2003, he became famous with Boxing Fighter. In 2005, Tom Yum Kung starring Tony Jaa achieved a box office record of nearly 6 million US dollars.
In that small place in Thailand, his status is equivalent to that of Jackie Chan.
A few films have made tens of millions of dollars at the box office and are very influential internationally.
Can we invite Thailand’s number one martial arts star?
Of course.
Zhou Yutang asked Han Sanping to come forward and contact the company in Thailand in the name of China Film Group.
Mr. Han was very satisfied with Zhou Yutang’s proposal.
Since it is a big production, it is natural to do something big.
What they want is international superstars
They are also very interested in the Chinese market. After all, the Thai film market is very small, and the Chinese film and television industry has been booming recently.
After communication, Tony Jaa was offered US$1 million to join Lone Agent as the villain super killer.
One million U.S. dollars is really a lot these days. You must know that mainland female stars like Zhou Xun and Li Binbin, who are among the top celebrities in the mainland, only get about 2 million U.S. dollars for a movie.
The salaries of Principal Gu and Aaron Kwok here in Xiangjiang are around 5 million, while those like Tony Leung, Andy Lau, and Fa Ge only earn more than 10 million.
But if you can invite Tony Jaa, you will definitely make a profit.
At that time, the box office in Southeast Asia and the subsequent sales of discs will be enough to make money back.
Zhou Yutang stayed in Xiangjiang for seven days. Two days ago, he met with action director Yuan Baye and decided on the action style.
Then director Chen Musheng also communicated very well and won it directly.
As for the rest of the characters, Fan Xiaopang is the 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. It was such a big place to begin with, but Teacher Chen ruined all the remaining luck in the entertainment industry with one blow, and there were no more rising stars.
Except for Tony Jaa, there are three main more important characters on the villain side.
The boss of the criminal group found anyDa Hua.
The following villain Zhong Wen, who was responsible for killing the boss, invited Liang Jiahui.
In Zhou Yutang's film, Big D killed Ah Le and avenged the underworld for fishing without a helmet.
Zhong Wu, the younger brother of the other big villain Zhong Wen, found An Zhijie. This buddy's action scenes are very good.
There is also Sir, the leader of the anti-narcotics team who has a slightly larger role. Zhou Yutang found Liu Qingyun, an enthusiastic citizen.
His main role in this film is to appear and clean up the scene after the male protagonist kills people randomly, and to shock and amaze his friends, which highlights the mysterious background and powerful abilities of the male protagonist.
Zhou Yutang also left an interesting role for Wu Jing, but Wu Jing was in the capital and could only talk to him in person in two days.
There were not many supporting roles left, so I asked Huo Wenxi to help contact her. This actually gave her room to maneuver. After all, there were many actors who worked with her.
In the past few days, Zhou Yutang has been giving orders and Sister Ani has been running around for him. 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.
"Boss, you really want to see Zou Wenhuai this afternoon"
Mao Xiaoyu kept talking about it since he came out of the hotel, and he was even more excited than Zhou Yutang.
"You are a fan of Boss Zou"
Wearing an Armani casual suit, Zhou Yutang was sitting by the window in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel.
The sun shines in through the window and shines on him, and he is looking down at the time on the Patek Philippe. His handsome profile looks like a perfect sculpture handmade by a top master.
"No, I am a Bruce Lee fan."
Mao Xiaoyu was as excited as a chirping bird, "You know, my dad is actually a Bruce Lee fan. He likes Bruce Lee. , when my mother was pregnant with me, she agreed that if I was born a boy, she would call me Mao Xiaolong, and if I was born a girl, I would be called Xiaoyu."
"If I am a boy, I will be without you. "
There was still half an hour before the appointment, and Zhou Yutang made a joke with the assistant.
After only fifteen minutes, he saw a middle-aged woman walking towards him supporting an old man.
"Hello, Zou Sheng."
Zhou Yutang stood 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 very old, and even the skin all over his body was loose, but his pair of cloudy eyes still showed a majesty that was difficult to describe in words.
"Hello, Zhou Sheng."
Zou Wenhuai, holding a gentleman's cane in both hands, sat down with the support of the middle-aged woman, and said with a smile, "I liked it very much back then. Sitting where you are now, I have been sitting here all afternoon, and the scenery outside is beautiful. "
"It's indeed beautiful."
Zhou Yutang glanced and saw two long-legged beauties in short skirts walking past through the window.
"You should order the thin sliced cucumber sandwich and sponge cake here, they taste good."
Zou Wenhuai looked at the tiramisu on the table and said with a smile.
Zhou Yutang put his knuckled fingers on the white porcelain cup, stirred the coffee with a spoon, and chuckled, "Boss Zou, you didn't ask me to meet you just to talk about snacks, right?"
"Of course not."
Zou Wenhuai nodded, "I heard about your affairs in the mainland. You happened to come to Xiangjiang and I wanted to get to know you. 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 ordinary-looking but dignified middle-aged woman smiled slightly.
“You made your debut by writing books and then started doing TV series. Within two years, several works have gone from failure to success and become popular. Now you even have many fans in Xiangjiang.”
< p>Zou Wenhuai is energetic and hale and hearty, thinking clearly like an old man. He is familiar with Zhou Yutang's self-made deeds.Zhou Yutang chuckled and said, "It's not as good as Boss Zou. From a sports reporter, Jiahe has grown to the scale it is today. However, I heard that Jiahe Company has had some problems recently. It's difficult for Boss Zou to do it." Take good care of me."
Zou Zhongyan, the man next to him, looked a little surprised.
But the old and the young looked at each other and smiled.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so don’t play nonsense.
The topic went round and round, and the names of the two people changed again.
Zou Wenhuai took the medicine he brought with him and drank a sip of water after being reminded by Zou Zhongyan, "Yu Tang, what do you think of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry?"
"Mr. Zou also Today, the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang is as stable as Mount Tai. "
"The sun is setting, and the hope for the future of the entertainment industry in China lies in the mainland."
Zou Wenhuai shook his head and pushed the bridge of his nose. Hua Jing finally got to the point, "To be honest, I asked you out today because I wanted to talk to you. Jiahe will invest 50 million Hong Kong dollars in exchange for 30 shares of your Jiangdong studio. In addition, Jiahe's channels can be opened to you. What do you think?" "
""
The assistant Mao Xiaoyu's pupils were shaking, and his brain was calculating rapidly.
According to what Zou Wenhuai meant, if 50 million Hong Kong dollars were exchanged for 30 shares, wouldn’t Zhou Yutang’s studio be worth more than 1.6 billion Hong Kong dollars?
The assistant knew that Zhou Yutang was rich, but her status It's not high, and I have limited access to internal information about the studio. I only read online gossip, and it is estimated that Zhou Yutang is worth tens of millions at most. Now that I heard that Zou Wenhuai is making such a big deal to buy a stake in Jiangdong Studio, people almost fainted.
"Jiangdong Studio is not short of funds."
Zhou Yutang admired the old man in his heart, and shook his head with a chuckle."Thank you Mr. Zou for your kindness. ”
The king of Huayi always spent 100 million to acquire Jiangdong Studio, which seems to be a big deal.
I didn’t expect Zou Wenhuai to be more courageous than Wang Zhongjun.
And the way he did things was more relaxed and sincere.
Despite this, Zhou Yutang politely declined.
It was part of the studio's investment in doing the sound project. In addition, he borrowed funds from the bank and split it 50-50 with Tian Ming.
At present, his studio has more than 30 million yuan in liquidity, plus the long-tail income from several popular movies. There are several high-quality projects such as Latent, Classmate, and Lonely Agent, as well as the copyrights accumulated by Zhou Yutang.
Wait until next year, when Jiangdong Studio will really take off.
< p>We are all smart people. We just had a tentative discussion and immediately knew that nothing could be done, so we stopped continuing on this topic and only talked about the differences between the film and television circles in the Mainland and Hong Kong for two hours.After.
Zou Wenhuai got into the back seat of the Bentley with the help of Zou Zhongyan and slowly drove out of the Peninsula Hotel.
“Dad, you really want to invest. Jiangdong Studio."
Zou Zhongyan, who had been silent just now, couldn't help but say, "If Jiahe really wants to develop inland, Zhou Yutang is indeed a good partner. Do you want me to inform the company? The business team will continue to negotiate with him and strive to get more than 50% of his studio's shares."
""
Zou Wenhuai looked at his daughter and was silent for several seconds. Then he shook his head, "No, he won't sell it. "
"Daddy, why have you been chatting with him for so long?"
"I'm observing him, Zhongyan. You know what I like to do most outside of making movies. ”
“Bridge, daddy, you have been the chairman of the Far East Bridge Club for several terms, and you have also won many championships in the Hong Kong Bridge Competition. ”
“I have learned a very important lesson from playing bridge for so many years. ”
Zou Wenhuai said sincerely, “Our life is like 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 to win more points when you get bad cards.” Lose less sometimes. ”
“When playing bridge, you need to accommodate each other and reach a tacit understanding with your teammates. This is the key to winning in the end. ”
After hearing this, Zou Zhongyan frowned and fell into deep thought, as if he couldn’t understand.
Zou Wenhuai glanced at his frowning and confused daughter, and the thoughts just now appeared in his mind. The high-spirited young man I saw.
It is difficult to conquer a country, but it is even harder to defend it.
The old man looked tired and looked out the window. The scenery made me sigh deeply
It’s like Zhou Yutang to give birth to a child
Zhou Yutang put his hands in his pockets and watched the extended Bentley slowly drive out of the Peninsula Hotel against the setting sun.
"Boss, stop looking, he's gone. ”
Mao Xiaoyu's expression was even more excited than Zhou Yutang's, and the eyes he looked at Zhou Yutang were full of admiration.
She witnessed with her own eyes the boss and a big boss like Zou Wenhuai sitting together and talking and laughing.
"Eat together, don't waste it."
Zhou Yutang turned around and saw the remaining snacks on the table, sat down and enjoyed them slowly.
"Oh."
Mao Xiaoyu was also very obedient and began to sweep away the snacks on the table. He asked vaguely, "Boss, you asked me to collect Jiahe in the past two days." Regarding the relevant information, did you already know that Mr. Zou was looking for you to invest in our studio?"
"I guessed it a little bit."
Zhou Yutang stopped moving after taking a bite, and his mind changed. .
Zou Wenhuai has been in poor health in recent years and has entrusted the company to his daughter Zou Zhongyan.
Zou Zhongyan received a master's degree from Stanford University in the United States, majoring in film. He can be said to be a veritable "Princess Jiahe".
This person has strong professional ability, but his ability to run the company is not ideal, and Jiahe is deteriorating.
The entertainment industry adheres to the law of the jungle.
According to the information collected, Chengtian Culture has been eyeing Jiahe since last year, hoping to complete the acquisition and backdoor listing.
However, Zou Wenhuai has never let go. This year, there have been repeated reports that Wu Kebo has organized Japanese capital to prepare for a full acquisition of Jiahe.
The old man also wants to invest in my Jiangdong Studio
After next year, maybe I will be the owner of Jiahe.
Zhou Yutang looked at the drizzle in the wind and the remaining clouds, and asked with a smile, "How is it, is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, but I'm full."
Mao Xiaoyu nodded like he was pecking at rice. His mouth was full of cakes and his speech was slurred.
"Go back to bed early when you're full. I have something to do tonight, so don't follow me."
"Oh, what else do you have to do tonight?"
"I'll go Let’s check out the shooting location in Lan Kwai Fong.”
Zhou Yutang glanced at his watch and heard the roar of a sports car engine outside the hotel.
A red Ferrari parked in front of the hotel.
Then.
The car door opened and a pair of long legs stepped out.
A beautiful girl got out of the car, took off her sunglasses and pinned them on her chest. When she saw Zhou Yutang, her big eyes instantly shined and she smiled sweetly
