China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 115 "The Wind" Script, Betting to Win the King
Taking Zhu Jie's entry into the group "Latent" as an opportunity, Tian Ming and Zhou Yutang have also talked a lot in private in the past few months.

During the filming of "Latent", Tian Ming visited Hengdian once.

Tian Ming released quite a lot of goodwill, and Zhou Yutang also intended to make friends.

After all, the great men once said that we should make many friends, so that we can do things in a way that will benefit us everywhere.

The relationship between the two quickly drew closer.

Only then did Zhou Yutang follow suit and propose cooperation.

They are all smart people, so it is natural for everyone to earn money together.

After private discussions, the benefits were quickly distributed properly.

but.

It took a while to prepare for The Voice.

After all, the audio equipment has to be imported from foreign countries, and the instructor also needs to communicate.

..............................

mid-August.

Zhou Yutang received a call from Chen Guofu to make a meal appointment.

Since the last time they met at the milk tea concert, the two of them have had several dinner dates, mostly talking about the film and television industry. They have a deeper understanding of each other's abilities, and they feel like they have been friends for years.

After the appointment, it was the same private club as last time, but this time Huang Xiaoming was not there, only Zhou Yutang and Chen Guofu were there.

"Brother Chen, are you sure you are not joking?"

"How can this matter be a joke with you?"

Chen Guofu smiled lightly.

What he was just talking about was this year's Golden Horse Awards nominations that have not yet been announced.

Generally speaking, the registration date for the Golden Horse Awards is in June and July each year, and the shortlist is announced around October each year.

Chen Guofu's connections in Ben Province are not just bragging, he got some inside information ahead of time.

According to him, "Those Years" has received a lot of praise. If there are no accidents, it is very likely to get four nominations for Best New Director, Best Newcomer Actor, Best Actress, and Best Original Film Music.

The Golden Horse Awards are relatively the most authoritative awards in the Chinese film industry.

Although there will be various voices in each session, and its selection criteria are very small, coupled with the special politics between the two sides of the strait, the results of many selections are unacceptable.

But there is no way. The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are not strong enough, and there are all kinds of local protectionism on the Golden Statue. In the entire Chinese film industry, the Golden Horse Award is very important.

Zhou Yutang pondered for a moment, and his heart moved slightly: "Brother Chen, do you think you can win the prize?"

"It's really hard to say. Before the final nomination is announced, there are still variables."

Chen Guofu laughed softly: "But according to my personal experience, the Golden Horse Awards have always been very friendly to newcomers. You have achieved such amazing results in the initial stage, and you are very hopeful to win the award."

That's how old Jianghu talks.

Watertight.

But since he said this, Zhou Yutang knew in his heart that it would probably be no problem to win the prize.

Ben Province is the same as Xiangjiang, the whole entertainment circle is in decline, only those idol dramas are filmed, and there is not a single movie that can hit the box office. "Those Years" still occupies the top position in Ben Province's annual box office list .

"I'm not here just to talk about this. I also have a notebook. Please help me read it."

"What book?"

Zhou Yutang took the script handed over by Chen Guofu, which read:
"The Sound of the Wind"!
After opening it, Zhou Yutang was gradually immersed in the story.

The content of the story is probably that during the Anti-Japanese War, an important member of the Wang puppet government was killed. The head of the imperial army's secret service agency concluded that there was an underground party inside, designed a secret trap, and locked five suspects in a dark and stormy night. In a closed old castle, it is necessary to find out the "old ghost" lurking inside.

"Spy war + suspense type commercial film."

Zhou Yutang turned it back and read it again, nodding slightly.

Mecca's novel, written by Zhang Jialu.

If Zhou Yutang is the representative figure of the new generation of gold medal screenwriters, then Zhang Jialu is the most famous old generation of gold medal screenwriters in the industry.

"Yu Tang, what do you think about it?"

Chen Guofu poured Zhou Yutang a cup of tea.

Zhou Yutang sighed and took a sip of tea: "This script is definitely Teacher Zhang's pinnacle work."

The logic of this script is rigorous, the content is substantial, and the drama is full of tension, especially the protagonists, who have a lot of room to play. It is indeed a good book.

"Ha ha!"

Chen Guofu was delighted when he saw it.

He believed in Zhou Yutang's ability.

For Zhou Yutang to give such an evaluation, it proves that the script of "The Wind" is really excellent.

"Brother Chen, have you decided on a director?"

"This book, I am going to take the mirror myself."

Chen Guofu pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with a smile on his face.

There is also a reason why he asked Zhou Yutang to help read the script tonight. Everyone in the circle knows that the script of "Latent" was changed by Zhou Yutang, and it has received very high evaluation. Looking forward to the TV series.

Let Zhou Yutang help me watch the movie "The Wind", which is also the last insurance, to see if there are any mistakes.

"That should be stable."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

If "Latent" is the ceiling of spy war TV series, then "The Wind" can be regarded as the first commercially produced spy war movie in the history of Chinese movies.

Mr. Jiang Wei couldn't resist the temptation to put this story on the screen in person, and it was also Chen Guofu's dream to be able to shoot "The Wind" in person.

Chen Guofu himself is also a director, and his skills are quite solid.

Good script + good director, no surprises, this will be one of the most anticipated movies in the Mainland next year.

"The starring team includes Wang Zhiwen, Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, Zhang Hanyu and Feng Xiaogang as the executive producers."

Zhou Yutang was a little speechless looking at such a lineup.

Only an industry leader like Huayi can pull out this golden lineup.

"Brother Chen, don't invite actors from Xiangjiang?"

"No more, the mainland lineup is not bad."

Chen Guofu's answer made Zhou Yutang look at him a few more times.

Interesting.

Previously, large-scale commercial films in the Mainland had to have actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan play the leading roles, but this film is all composed of mainland actors.

"By the way, Yu Tang, I still came here with a mission tonight."

Chen Guofu also said frankly: "The king told me to recruit you. As long as you nod, the role of Takeda in "The Wind" can be given to you."

Takeda is the director of the Japanese Army's Secret Service Section in "The Wind", and he has a lot of roles.

"Mr. Wang hasn't given up yet?"

"Not only didn't give up, but also increased the price, capped at [-] million, and bought your Jiangdong Studio, the condition is that you sign with Huayi for five years, get a first-line contract, and an S-level film and television resource every year for the next three years, this is Huayi. Show the greatest sincerity."

It is indeed very sincere. If it was at the beginning of last year, Zhou Yutang might have nodded in agreement.

But now that Jiangdong Studio is developing rapidly, with the addition of the trump card of good voice, how can it be measured by [-] million?
Zhou Yutang still refused in a leisurely manner: "Brother Chen, thank you Mr. Wang for your kindness. I'm still used to being alone, and I can do things more freely."

In the past few months, Huayi has been keeping in touch with him.

Huo Siyan always sent him messages when he had nothing to do, and asked him out for dinner and drinks at night from time to time, but Zhou Yutang refused because he was too busy.

Huang Xiaoming also sought out several times in private, but the two of them had a close friendship, Huang Xiaoming was very clear about Zhou Yutang's thoughts, it was just a gathering of friends, and chatted about Huayi's situation by the way.

Huayi is planning to go public, and now Mr. Wang is staring at Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong studio.

This involves an advanced way of playing in the entertainment industry.

The projects that Jiangdong Studio does are all big profits, which will have a certain effect on the stock price.

Don't worry about spending [-] million on Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio, but by then Huayi will be able to make more money in the capital market.

"I knew it would be this result."

Chen Guofu smiled and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Then Wu Tian belongs to Xiao Ming, what do you think of Bai Xiaonian?"

"Bai Xiaonian? It's interesting, but my schedule is over for this year."

"Forget it, let's talk about the script."

Chen Guofu just raised his mouth a little bit. Being able to invite a super-popular actor like Zhou Yutang can also bring a lot of attention to "The Wind". However, Zhou Yutang has no schedule, so he didn't insist. An actor who is waiting for food.

After a brief chat with Chen Guofu, the dinner ended.

When I got home and shared the news with Liu Shishi, Liu Shishi was a little dizzy: "Yu Tang, you mean. You mean, I might be nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress?"

The Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, commonly known as the Golden Horse Best Actress.

Liu Shishi's temperament is very Buddhist, but when he heard that he was nominated for the best actress, his little heart still beat violently.

"It's just a possibility."

Zhou Yutang could feel Liu Shishi's rapid breathing through the phone, and said with a smile, "We'd better not have too much hope."

Movie queens really don’t just take it casually.

It's all about the world.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Zhou Yutang woke up, he was bombarded by Cai Yinong's phone calls.

"Yu Tang, the Golden Horse Award nominations haven't been announced yet. Where did you get the news? Does Shi Shi really have a chance to be nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress!?"

Zhou Yutang heard that she was more excited than Liu Shishi on the phone, and while washing, he said calmly: "I heard what Chen Guofu said last night."

"That seems true."

Cai Yinong has some connections in Wan Province, but those connections are obviously insignificant compared to a big guy like Chen Guofu.

"Yu Tang, do you think there is hope for Shi Shi's Best Actress?"

"."

After being silent for a while, Zhou Yutang finally considered his words and said tactfully: "Sister Cai, we are still young, and we still have chances in the future."

Was this sister overwhelmed by the surprise?

It's a dream to win an award.
Let's put it this way, Liu Shishi has exploded this time under Zhou Yutang's training.

Several crying scenes all showed the pinnacle of their career acting skills.

But the nomination mentioned by Chen Guofu is only a possibility. Even if he gets the nomination, it would be as difficult for Liu Shishi to win the Golden Horse Best Actress by relying on "Those Years".

Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang taught Zhou Yutang a very important lesson: qualifications are very important for things like awards.

"Well, it would be nice to get nominated."

In Cai Yinong's eyes, being nominated is equivalent to being a half-step actress, and Zhou Yutang can even think of Tang Ren's draft.

[The most beautiful school beauty Liu Shishi just missed the Golden Horse Best Actress trophy! 】

..............................

Fast forward to April 8st.

The Olympic Games is coming to an end.

During this time, Tian Ming used his personal connections and spent a total of 2000 million to customize the world's top audio equipment from abroad.

Mentors have also made progress, 1000 million talked about Mr. Liu Huan, and 800 million talked about Chen Yixun, the noodle head.

Both Jay Chou and Faye Wong are still following up and have not received an accurate reply.

There are also negotiations with several TV stations. In the end, both Zhejiang Satellite TV and Shanghai Satellite TV are very interested.

According to Tian Ming, the conditions offered by Zhejiang Satellite TV are slightly better than those offered by Shanghai Satellite TV, but they have made a clear request that they must have full control over the good voice programs.

Zhou Yutang directly asked Tian Ming to be kicked out of Zhejiang Satellite TV, and then turned to communicate and negotiate with Shanghai Satellite TV.

Having been in the circle for so long, I have gradually learned some inside stories. Lantai is famous for being domineering.

It doesn't matter if Zhou Yutang earns less money, the first variety show project of the main studio, he wants to do it well, and it's best to make it a signboard.

Tian Ming continued to talk with Magic City TV, and the time soon came to the day when the Olympic Games came to an end.

Zhou Yutang woke up early in the morning, took off the sandbag on his body, put on a handsome Armani suit, and went to the styling room.

"Yu Tang, I haven't seen you for a while, your figure seems to be more stylish."

The Tony teacher who sculpted Zhou Yutang looked surprised.

She is a friend of Sister Shuang, and she has been cooperating with Jiangdong Studio for almost a year. Zhou Yutang's appearance at the event is all done by her.

"Really? I've been working out recently."

Zhou Yutang looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

The devil training during this period was quite effective.

The abdominal muscles exploded abnormally, not only the body movements are more agile than before, but the whole person's energy and energy seem to have improved to a higher level.

Taking advantage of Zhou Yutang's styling time, Li Shuang went to buy a sandwich, ate something in the car, and went straight to the Bird's Nest.

"Yu Tang is here. There will be a few rehearsals later. Don't be nervous."

Teacher Bian, who was in charge of the music session of the closing ceremony, also took the initiative to chat a few words: "Have you eaten yet? Breakfast is prepared at the backstage."

"I ate it on the way here."

Zhou Yutang responded with a smile.

It is impossible to be tense.

Tens of thousands of concert guests have also participated in the concert. According to Teacher Wu Bai, Zhou Yutang was born with a big heart, and he is the one who enjoys the stage.

And tonight's closing ceremony will have a much smaller audience than the opening ceremony. For example, Zhou Zhengping and Wang Fengqin returned home early because of something in their hometown.

"Mr. Zhou, can you sign my name?"

I just arrived at the backstage lounge, and I met many backup dancers who came up tonight to ask for autographs.

"of course can."

After agreeing to a one-stop autograph and group photo, Zhou Yutang found a lounge to sit down.

I began to scan the program and guest list of the performance.

The eldest brother Jackie Chan took the lead, followed by Andy Lau, Jay Chou and dozens of others.

Zhou Yutang is considered a super popular star among the new generation, but everyone who can be on the list is a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.

We gathered at 09:30 today for the final rehearsal, and many stars have already arrived at the scene.

Han Ling from the mainland came up to say hello: "Yu Tang, hello."

"Hello, Teacher Han."

Zhou Yutang glanced at the sister's legs.

Han Xue accepted a silk stocking ad some time ago, and it was so popular, some people on the Internet listed her and Tang Yan as strong contenders for the most beautiful legs in domestic entertainment.

Zhou Yutang politely looked at the two contestants on the spot.

If he is allowed to be a judge, he will vote for Tang Yan.

"Don't call me Teacher Han, call me Sister Xue."

Han Ling smiled sweetly, grabbed the tail of his skirt, and sat beside Zhou Yutang.

There was still half an hour before the rehearsal, but Han Ling was quite interested in Zhou Yutang. The two chatted enthusiastically for a while and exchanged contact information.

This sister didn't even leave, but another tall and handsome man with squinting eyes came over with his assistant and offered to show his affection to Zhou Yutang.

"Yu Tang, do you still know Rain? He just seemed to say that he would like to cooperate with you if there is a chance in the future."

After Rain left, Han Ling's eyes sparkled with splendor, and he looked at Zhou Yutang in surprise.

Rain, who became popular in Asia a few years ago with "Full House", is currently the super popular king in South Korea.

To actually take the initiative to show affection to Zhou Yutang, this is too much of a show, and many celebrities in the lounge immediately cast their gazes on him, and many of them are senior celebrities.

Zhou Yutang smiled lightly and said, "The studio has cooperation with South Korea."

According to the news from Bae Yun in South Korea, RAIN has confirmed to play the male lead in the Korean version of "Those Years" by virtue of his popularity, and the female lead is the recently popular new actor Han Hyo-joo.

The backstage lounge at the scene is quite simple, but it really is full of stars.

Zhou Yutang also met Damimi’s idol Xie Tingfeng. The two looked at each other for a few seconds and finally nodded in greeting.

It seems that this brother has come out of Mr. Chen's shadow, but the beautiful manager next to him took the initiative to communicate with Sister Shuang, and even changed his business card.

As soon as everyone arrives, the rehearsal begins.

It feels a little awkward for dozens of singers singing hand in hand on the stage.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong, and the rehearsal went smoothly.

The day passed very slowly. Just staying at the scene, Zhou Yutang also made many connections.

Finally, at eight o'clock in the evening, the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games officially began.

First, a series of routine plots, followed by a speech by the Olympic Organizing Committee.

After the chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee delivered a speech, the flag was handed over next, and it was London's next turn. Beckham was indeed handsome, and there were many voices on the scene.

Then a series of program performances proceeded in an orderly manner.

The eldest brother Jackie Chan took the lead and led the bright stars to appear on the stage. Everyone held hands, danced and sang the song "Guests from afar, please stay".

"Please stay, please stay!"

Zhou Yutang sang this line countless times, with Sun Yanzi on the left and Sister Shuangdao Turkey on the right, shaking rhythmically with the beat of the singing.

call!
It's over.

Zhou Yutang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Backstage, Jay Chou walked over to say hello with a cool look on his face: "You sang well just now."

The king of the Chinese music scene has an obvious accent, and there seems to be curiosity in his eyes.

Speaking of which, at the beginning of the year, "Those Years" overwhelmed "Slam Dunk", and the media used the matter of the two to hype, but Jay Chou didn't seem to mind either.

Zhou Yutang also extended his hand to shake him, and said modestly, "I can't compare to you, Brother Jie."

Gan!
This fluttering street taught me how to speak!

Jay Chou's expression twitched, and he was also very straightforward: "I want to ask, is the show Good Voice, you made it?"

"Yes."

"Aren't you making a movie? How did you think of spending so much money on a music program?"

"Just do what you want, and make some money by the way."

"Interesting."

Zhou Yutang responded so directly that Jay Chou couldn't hold back a chuckle, he waved his hands and said, "Sorry, I didn't laugh at you, I think you are honest enough, this show is quite interesting."

"Then are you interested in coming to play?"

Zhou Yutang mainly invited: "Try another way to play music, look at the music of low-level musicians in the Mainland, and you will definitely be pleasantly surprised by then."

"I'm quite excited."

Jay Chou seemed a little moved: "But there is a tour plan, and I plan to take a vacation next year."

"That's it."

Zhou Yutang took out a coin, raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a hint of ridicule: "Do you dare to take a gamble? If the number is up, I will win. How about you come over and do a show for a season? If the national emblem is facing up, you will win."

"Are you so confident?"

Jay Chou also showed some interest: "Come on, come on."

"King of Heaven, I am determined to eat."

Zhou Yutang threw the coin into the air confidently.

Silver light flickered under the light.

Jay Chou's gaze followed the rise and fall of the coin.

Snapped!
Zhou Yutang stretched out his hand to catch it, and slowly removed his palm.

Jay Chou's eyes widened.
