China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 117: The dragon crosses the river, the true nature of a man

"Sister Mani, why are you here?"

Zhou Yutang's face revealed a look of surprise just right.

With his identity, it is of course impossible for Boss Yang of Yinghuang Group to greet him at the airport in person, but Yinghuang's ability to send a general like Huo Wenxi is enough to show that he attaches great importance to this cooperation.

This sister is the number one agent of Yinghuang Group, and she has Hong Kong stars such as Xie Tingfeng, Zhang Jiahui, Yung Piao'er, Twins, Lin Feng, Guan Zhibin, Gu Juji, Chen Weiting and other Hong Kong stars.

In terms of status, it is probably equivalent to Wang Jinghua, a native of Xiangjiang, but she should definitely beat Sister Hua in terms of appearance.

He started his career as an artist and later changed his career as a manager.

"Zhou Sheng, welcome to Xiangjiang."

Huo Wenxi was wearing a white shirt with a narrow waist, and a black professional A-line skirt, which only reached three points above the knee. You could see her shapely and slender legs wrapped in black stockings, and she was stepping on a pair of shallow high-heeled shoes.

Today's Huo Wenxi is at the most beautiful age for a woman. When he sees Zhou Yutang, he smiles like a flower and takes the initiative to meet him and extend his hand.

"Sister Mani, just call me Ah Tang."

Zhou Yutang also showed a bright smile, and gently shook hands with the elder sister.

The two had met during the Olympic closing ceremony and had a polite chat.

After a little greeting, they soon became acquainted.

There was an incident when we were leaving the airport. Dozens of female fans gathered at the exit passage. A dozen of them were holding signs supporting Zhou Yutang. When they saw Zhou Yutang coming out, they screamed like crazy.

"what's the situation?"

The assistant Mao Xiaoyu who was following Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.

Wang Qiang stopped in front of Zhou Yutang in an instant, scanning his surroundings vigilantly.

This time Li Shuang stayed in the capital to handle the affairs of the studio. Mao Xiaoyu, a newcomer to the studio in the middle of the year, was responsible for acting as Zhou Yutang's temporary assistant, while Brother Qiang was his personal bodyguard.

Huo Wenxi explained with a smile: ""Those Years" topped the Xiangjiang annual box office list, Atang's popularity in Xiangjiang is very high, especially among young girls, seven or eight out of ten are Atang's fans."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yutang's profile.

The three courtyards and five eyes are perfect, and the bones are also excellent. The lines of the cheeks are clear and stern, and they are matched with the gentle and deep eyes.

This man, just relying on his appearance, can kill without blood.

In terms of appearance, her subordinate Xie Tingfeng is handsome enough, but compared to Zhou Yutang, he is still quite inferior.

As far as height is concerned, Zhou Yutang is 1 meters tall and has a golden body proportion. He is like a walking clothes hanger.

This is the pinnacle of his real debut. He went from being popular in domestic entertainment to Hong Kong Island in his early 20s.

None of the Four Heavenly Kings back then was so exaggerated.

While Huo Wenxi was amazed, he did not forget his work, and led the accompanying staff to protect Zhou Yutang out of the passage.

Zhou Yutang also smiled and waved enthusiastically to Xiangjiang fans at the airport. Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the airport, there were a group of fans and media reporters waiting outside.

Just as Zhou Yutang walked out, the flashing lights flickered on.

Keeping a business-like smile all the way, with the help of the security personnel arranged in advance, finally boarded Yinghuang's special car.

".That drama was also very popular in Hong Kong. Ting Fung watched it several times and said that he would definitely cooperate if there was a chance."

"there will be chances in the future."

Chatting along the way, Huo Wenxi had done his homework in advance and knew Zhou Yutang's debut experience very well, even the plot of "Want to See You" by heart.

Zhou Yutang also understood what Sister Mani meant, he probably wanted to give Xie Tingfeng a role, but he didn't say anything to death.

Xie Tingfeng's performance in last year's movie "A Better Man" was quite good, but he was completely overshadowed by Wu Jing, who played the villain Tian Yangsheng. When Zhou Yutang was watching the movie, he was a little worried that he would be beaten to death by Wu Jing.
In the evening, a banquet was held at the five-star hotel in Xiangjiang to welcome Zhou Yutang. Yang Shoucheng, the owner of Yinghuang, was present in person, and some local celebrities in Xiangjiang were also invited to come.

Banquet scene.

Beauty is like a cloud.

Zhou Yutang, however, was like a light on his back, and had no intention of admiring it.

Huang Baiming, Zeng Zhiwei and others, who are the bosses of the company themselves, are all local snakes in Xiangjiang, and they all looked at him eagerly.

Everyone knows that Zhou Yutang came here this time with a big movie project, and he always wants to get a piece of the pie.

At this moment.

Boss Yang stood up.

He supported Zhou Yutang's shoulders, and said in an extremely domineering manner: "Ah Tang, Boss Han asked me to take care of you. If you encounter any trouble in Xiangjiang, just call mani and I will help you settle it."

This sentence is meant for those people in Xiangjiang who have ulterior motives.

Zhou Yutang is the person under Yang Shoucheng's shadow from the Yinghuang Group.

Don't try to make trouble!

The effect was also obvious, the gaze that looked like a hungry wolf staring at a fat sheep just now disappeared instantly, and everyone just pretended nothing happened.

Zhou Yutang took the initiative to toast Boss Yang with a glass of wine: "Thank you, Boss Yang, we enjoyed our cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Yang Shoucheng also patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder with a smile, and asked proactively, "Atang, Mr. Han is very optimistic about you, saying that you are a rare talent in the mainland. What are you going to do with this film?"

"I'm going to hire a director from Xiangjiang."

Zhou Yutang made a plan before he came.

This film has a set tone and is well-produced, so the review standards can be relaxed. It is actually a drama with a male lead.

The highlight of the whole film is all on him alone, and the director is equivalent to a tool man.

Boss Yang nodded slightly: "As for the director, Wu Yusen, Du Qifeng, Ye Weixin, Chen Musheng, etc. are all very capable. Which one do you think is more suitable?"

Zhou Yutang first kicked Wu Yusen out of the candidate list.

Wu Baige's "The True Colors of a Hero" established his status in the arena, and he has also gained a lot in Hollywood since then. The audience has high expectations for him. As a result, he returned to the mainland in recent years and made such a bad movie as Chibi.

Secondly, Du Qifeng is not within the scope of Zhou Yutang's consideration. The gunfire trilogy "Gunfire", "Exile", and "Revenge" are all well shot, and the two underworld and dark wars are also classics.

However, this person is capable and has a big temper. Even Liu Tianwang said that he is a "natural scolding machine", and all the actors who have worked with him have been scolded bloody.

In Zhou Yutang's crew, he is the absolute center, and he definitely cannot accept another set tyrant.

After a final round of screening, Chen Musheng was initially selected.

Chen Musheng used to follow Du Qifeng and directed "The New Crane and the Needle" in 1993, which is the movie that Guan Damei used her inner strength to make.
A few years ago, he directed the action movie "New Police Story", leaving behind the classic and handsome Azu in the film industry.

In addition, Sister Yuanyuan has collaborated with him in the film "Baby Project", a collaboration between Jackie Chan and Principal Gu. Zhou Yutang had in-depth exchanges with Gao Yuanyuan before coming to Xiangjiang.
The two had talked about Director Chen Musheng, and Sister Yuanyuan had a very good opinion of him. Last year's "The True Colors of a Man" invested by Yinghuang was also a very good commercial action movie.

Zhou Yutang's new film is also an action-drama commercial film.

Director Chen Musheng is very good at highlighting the power of characters during confrontation through screen editing and camera switching. The action scenes shot are very pure and aesthetic.

Especially in fashion action movies, he is very good at car chases, pursuits, gun battles, and confrontations.

"no problem."

Yang Shoucheng waved: "Mani, please contact me and see if Ah Sheng has any schedules recently."

"OK!"

Huo Wenxi was very efficient. He went out with the phone and came back in 10 minutes.

"Boss, Director Chen has just finished filming "Hold the Call" and is currently on vacation in Thailand with his family."

"Let him fly back on the nearest flight and make an appointment to talk to Ah Tang."

Boss Yang waved his hand indifferently.

Then we chatted for a while about Good Voice. This variety show has recently caused a sensation in domestic entertainment, and even Xiangjiang has received rumors. Boss Yang is very interested.

It's just that the nobles have too many things to talk about, and Yinghuang Company has important matters to deal with, so Boss Yang got up and left the meeting.

In fact, with the words he said at the beginning of the banquet, the purpose of this dinner has been achieved, basically no one dared to provoke Zhou Yutang in Xiangjiang.

A big boss like Yang Shoucheng naturally doesn't have to worry about everything, and Huo Wenxi has full authority over the rest of the film "The Lonely Agent".

"Yu Tang, is there any role suitable for Ting Feng in this play?"

As soon as Boss Yang left, the atmosphere at the reception became much more relaxed. Huo Wenxi asked straight to the point.

Zhou Yutang's response this time was also very straightforward: "Sister Mani, my film is a leading actor, and there are not many other supporting actors. If Brother Tingfeng is willing to play the villain, then I have no problem."

Having said that, Huo Wenxi knew in his heart that there was no chance this time.

She knew that the male protagonist was Zhou Yutang, but Xie Tingfeng was a young man who was highly praised by Yinghuang, so of course it was impossible for him to play a supporting role as a villain and carry Zhou Yutang's sedan chair.

"Then there will be opportunities to cooperate again in the future."

However, Huo Wenxi's expression was calm as usual, and he didn't show any disappointment. Instead, he said with a warm smile: "A Tang, if you have any troubles here in Xiangjiang, just call me and have a good night."

"Thank you, Sister Mani."

Zhou Yutang nodded and thanked.With a local snake like Huo Wenxi here, things can really be done much more easily.

Seeing that Chen Yixun, the head of instant noodles, was also present, Zhou Yutang also went over and patted him on the shoulder naturally: "Brother Doctor, long time no see."

Zhou Yutang and Instant Noodles had met at Mr. Wu Bai's concert, and they drank a lot of wine together at the celebration banquet at the end of the concert that night, so they were acquaintances.

Sure enough, Chen Yixun, the head of Instant Noodles, also looked surprised when he saw Zhou Yutang, and stood up, shook hands with him and hugged him: "Ah Tang, I didn't expect to see you in Xiangjiang."

"Also, let me correct you, my name is Eason, not a doctor."

"Haha, that's pretty much it."

"."

Instant Noodles also felt very strange in his heart.

He received an invitation to be a mentor on the show The Voice, and I heard it was Zhou Yutang who suggested it.
The last time they met, Zhou Yutang was still the little brother who toasted to him, but now he has become his boss.

But it doesn't matter what you feel. These days, if you have money, you are a boss. If a good voice spends so much money to invite him, it would be a fool not to go.

"A-Tang, how are the preparations for the show going? I watched a few clips online. There are so many great singers from the Mainland. It makes me so nervous."

"We'll start after the auditions are over, and we may have a meeting after a while. Brother doctor, with your strength, it's fine to perform normally. If I were a contestant, I would definitely choose your group."

"Wow, then you come to participate too, isn't it invincible if I team up with you?"

"I'm busy, Doctor."

"That's terrible. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if no one chooses me?"

The two sat and chatted for a while.

Instant Noodles is now at the peak of its popularity and even participated in the Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of this year.

Hearing that he was preparing for his own world tour, Zhou Yutang felt a little moved in his heart and gave him an idea: "Brother doctor, when the time comes, you will say that you will have 32 concert tours this year. Then the students will definitely Everyone wants to hang out with you."

"I'm sorry! You are really a talent."

Dr. Chen was also stunned for a moment, with an expression of excitement about discovering a new world.

It’s really funny to think about the serious-minded guy who fooled students into thinking he was going to hold 32 concerts.

After chatting with Dr. Chen, Huang Baiming and his son also came up. Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned when he saw his appearance.

Isn't this the long-lost brother of Sohu host Dapeng in Xiangjiang?

Zhou Yutang quickly recovered and took the initiative to greet Huang Baiming and his son.

This is also a bigwig in the Xiangjiang film industry, and classic movies such as "Best Partner" and "Happy Ghost" came from him.

As early as more than ten years ago, before the mainland film industry had developed, Huang Baiming was already targeting the Spring Festival. His movie "Family Happiness" grossed 4900 million at the box office and is still on the Hong Kong box office list. top ten.

Later, he opened a film and television company by himself, and made many blockbuster movies, and now he is also a big boss with a lot of money.

After a brief introduction and exchange of contact information, Huang Zihuan was not well-bred, so he couldn't help but ask when he turned around, "Daddy, why are you being so polite to this kid?"

Huang Baiming taught his son with a smile: "Zihuan, you usually do things, you should pay more attention to observation. You don't understand what Boss Yang said at night?"

"Could it be that he is the illegitimate son of Boss Yang in the mainland, that's why he supports him so much?"

"Be careful what you say and do!"

Huang Baiming's face darkened, and he reprimanded lightly: "This young man is very capable, and all the film and television dramas he has done are all blockbusters. This time, he came here to represent the Mainland China Film Group's cooperation with Yinghuang on a film, so he became Boss Yang's guest."

"It's not that the Raptors cross the river."

Huang Zihuan nodded suddenly, muttering.

Huang Baiming continued: "Zihuan, you and Zhou Yutang are both screenwriters, so you should have a common language. He also has a nickname in the mainland called Merry Talent. Young people must love to play. Zhou Yutang is a guest in Xiangjiang. Do your best to be a landlord and bring him to know more friends."

Father and son conspired loudly.

Next to Huang Zihuan was a beautiful woman with exquisite makeup and big eyes, who was also listening quietly.

When Huang Baiming went to communicate with friends in the business field, she took the initiative to ask, "Zihuan, what movie is Zhou Yutang going to make?"

"An action drama."

"It seems to be a very powerful big production. I heard from my uncle that China Film Group and Yinghuang Group have invested in it."

This delicate-looking beauty has big eyes that glow.

"My dad thinks very highly of him."

Huang Zihuan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, full of confidence: "A pretty boy from the Mainland must have never seen the world. I will take him to Lan Kwai Fong tonight to have fun, and let him know what a paradise on earth is."

"By the way, baby, are your sisters free tonight?"

After the dinner, return to the hotel.

As soon as he walked into the lobby, Zhou Yutang received a call from Huang Baiming's son.

Very polite and direct.

He asked if he was interested in participating in a nightclub party with friends, and jokingly said that there are many beautiful models in Xiangjiang who admire him and want to have further communication with him.
As expected of Xiangjiang, the girls here love art exchanges so much.

Zhou Yutang was very moved, and then declined with a smile.

"Boss, Lan Kwai Fong is very famous, why don't you go?"

The new assistant Mao Xiaoyu next to him asked curiously.

"If you want to go, I'll ask him to arrange some male models for you."

"I'll let it go."

Mao Xiaoyu shrank her head. She had just graduated from Communication University. She was no match for an old driver like Zhou Yutang. When she heard the words of tiger and wolf, she immediately felt a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that the little assistant opened the door for him very attentively.

Zhou Yutang also nodded in satisfaction.

With the development of Jiangdong Studio, it is also recruiting people one after another, and this Mao Xiaoyu is one of them.

Good working ability, very pleasing personality, very discerning.

Li Shuang is very optimistic and plans to train her to be an independent manager.

In this circle, an artist's personal assistant sounds like a good job, but in fact it can also be called a nanny, mainly to meet the various needs of the artist's life, and some even include physical needs.

Zhou Yutang considers himself a decent person, so of course he would not do such a thing, so he opened a room for Xiao Mao next door.

Just after taking a shower, I received another call from Huo Wenxi.

Sister Mani is more experienced in doing things, and her words are subtle and suggestive: "A Tang, have you arrived at the hotel?"

"I just took a shower, what's the matter, Miss Mani?"

"That's right, I forgot to tell you that there are a few beauties from Xiangjiang here who want to meet you. I asked the hotel service staff to put their business cards on your table. They are nearby now. If there is a need, I will arrange them. Don't worry. All reliable, no paparazzi around”

He is truly a professional agent.

Huang Baiming's son is still inexperienced, so he has to learn from his father for a few more years.

If Zhou Yutang nodded, it was Huo Wenxi's arrangement. Needless to say, even if he didn't like it, he wouldn't offend him, but he could feel his sincerity.

"Sister Mani, I really am not this kind of person."

Zhou Yutang still refused righteously: "Sister Mani, please help me make an appointment with Director Chen and Baye Yuan. I will talk to them in person."

How can a man who does big things let the little head control the big head?
After hanging up the phone, communicate with Li Shuang about the affairs of the studio and the itinerary.

After the first season of "Classmates" was aired, the response was good, especially the online reputation, which was rated as high as 9.1 on Douban.

Several video websites are now bidding to purchase online broadcast rights. LeTV's boss Jia has a huge appetite and wants to eat all four seasons of "Classmates" in one go.

At present, the second and third seasons of "Classmates" have also started filming. Zhou Yutang only wrote the outline of the script for the fourth season, and left it to the screenwriting department to do it. It is estimated that the filming will have to wait until next year.

In a few days, he will go back to Beijing again, mainly to discuss with several TV stations about the first-run broadcast rights of the "Latent" TV series, and also to meet with Tian Ming on the Good Voice program to discuss with the producers. I attended the meeting at Magic City TV with my identity.

After talking about the business, and talking about the banquet experience and the fragrant arrangement tonight, Sister Shuang was also happy: "Lan Kwai Fong Nightclub, why don't you go to have fun? Sister Mani is so kind to help you arrange it, do you have the heart to live up to her kindness?"

"?"

When this question mark appeared in Zhou Yutang's mind, it wasn't that he had a problem, but that he felt that Li Shuang had a problem, and said in disbelief, "Sister Shuang, is this how I look in your heart?"

To be honest, the daily contacts are beauties like Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan, and Liu Shishi, and Zhou Yutang really doesn't have much interest in those vulgar fans.

"more or less."

Li Shuang suddenly thought of something, and his voice became very strange, "Yu Tang, don't you have thoughts about Sister Mani?"

"Sister Shuang, you misunderstood me too deeply."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and sighed with a sad expression.

I'm just a simple boy who wants to make progress.
