China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 12 Do I need to look up for a long time? 【Seek further reading】

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three kingdoms were divided, and the flames of war continued endlessly."

The ringtone rang, the phone screen flickered brightly, and the note showed that it was Brother Xiao Ming's call.

In such a big internal entertainment, how many little brothers are there?

"Hi, Yu Tang, I'm Xiao Ming."

When the phone was connected, a very recognizable mellow male voice came from there.

"Hi brother Ming, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Yutang said politely.

"Haha, it's fine, I mainly miss you, my little brother. Actually, I really want to thank you that time in the Shendiao production team. If there is an accident at that time, it will be very troublesome."

Huang Xiaoming said sincerely.

Zhou Yutang could also understand what he meant. After all, Liu Tianxian is an American citizen with a special background.

At that time, if it really happened that he fell from the seven or eight meter high platform, the whole crew would suffer, and he, the leading actor, would definitely be implicated as well.

"Brother Xiao Ming, these are all trivial matters, if you were to change it, you would definitely save people."

To be honest, Zhou Yutang and Huang Xiaoming are not that familiar.

He didn't stay in the Shendiao crew for a total of two days, and most of the time he was familiar with each other, and he was a casual acquaintance.

However, Huang Xiaoming's attitude towards Zhou Yutang was very warm at that time, and he even left his number on purpose, saying that he would definitely treat him to dinner when he came to Beijing.

Zhou Yutang didn't care either, probably Huang Xiaoming himself was just saying polite words and didn't take it to heart. After all, the two were at different levels at the time, each had their own lives, and basically there would be no intersection.

The two chatted about the Shendiao production team, talked about the past, and talked about the school. With the relationship of the film academy, then everyone is their own, and the distance between them has been shortened invisible.

Feeling that it was almost in place, Huang Xiaoming finally expressed his reason for coming: "Yu Tang, it's like this. I heard from friends in the circle that you're attracting investment recently and want to make a TV series?"

"Yeah, even Brother Xiao Ming knows?"

Zhou Yutang was taken aback, Huang Xiaoming's relationship is really powerful.

During this period of time, Teacher Yao is helping to contact the film and television company in the capital, and Father Zhang is probably also working hard.

Although the circle is not big, Huang Xiaoming has already known about it in just a few days, and he directly called him, which shows that he has a wide network of contacts.

"I have known for a long time that you are a very talented person, and now you can put your ideas into action, much better than I was back then."

"Brother Xiaoming, don't say that. You are the number one actor in the new generation of domestic entertainment. We are the pride of Nortel. Teacher Yao often teaches us to learn from you."

Another wave of business blows.

However, Zhou Yutang is not completely a rainbow fart.

Huang Xiaoming made his debut in "The Son of Heaven", he played the leading role of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Chen Daoming gave him the supporting role of Dongfang Shuo.

Of course, the more important thing is that he is playing on the same stage with the peak Chen Daoming, his acting skills are not inferior, and his professional ability is really excellent.

After exchanging views, Huang Xiaoming smiled and said, "This drama is an adaptation of your novel. I've read a little bit of it. The content is novel and interesting. It's really good. It seems that Teacher Yao is very optimistic about this project."

"I just think it's very interesting to shoot a story I like. I personally invested part of it, and a film and television company also entered the game. The funding is still a part short. Is Xiao Ming interested in investing?"

Having said that, Zhou Yutang asked straight to the point.

There is nothing embarrassing about attracting investment. Making TV dramas is a high-risk project. Finding more companies to invest in can share the risk.

"No problem, I came to you to talk about this matter. Now, I just returned to the capital after filming, are you free, come out to chat, and treat you to a meal by the way?"

Huang Xiaoming was also very straightforward, and directly made an appointment for a place to eat, Zhou Yutang of course had no reason to refuse.

In this circle, if you want to get a position in the shortest time, you must either enter the market with your own capital and use money to open the way, or you must manage your network on your own.

night.

Zhou Yutang met Huang Xiaoming for the second time in a private box of a well-known high-end restaurant in Beijing.

At this time, Huang Xiaoming was already very popular. He was busy with several dramas at the same time, and he was still preparing for his first album. He had sent out a lot of drafts. The new generation of domestic entertainment film and music dual-living king.
Today, he just returned to the capital from the magic capital, and he was still a little tired from the journey, but he still showed a very friendly smile. When he saw Zhou Yutang, he immediately came up with a hug,
"Yu Tang, you're still so handsome. I'm very stressed standing next to you. I heard that the school is saying that you are the most handsome school girl in Nortel?"

Huang Xiaoming's height is about half a head shorter than Zhou Yutang's.
"That's too exaggerated, at most it's [-]-[-] with Brother Xiaoming."

Zhou Yutang didn't show any timidity at all, he came all the time, in short, it was just chatting.

The two sat and chatted for a while, and Zhou Yutang probably understood that Huang Xiaoming was going to set up his own private studio in a while, and then slowly started to build his own team.

I have to say that this vision and career planning are quite clear.

"Yu Tang, I'm very optimistic about you, are you interested in coming to help me, how about we brothers and sisters fighting the world together?"

Huang Xiaoming himself has a very charming personality, and what he said in a domineering president style is even more deceptive.

After all, with Huang Xiaoming's resources opening the way, not to mention the entire internal entertainment platform, there must be a broad road under his feet.

But Zhou Yutang had just been drawn by Cai Yinong, and he was somewhat immune. Facing the bait thrown by Brother Xiaoming, he pretended to move, then pondered for a long time, and finally sincerely refused:
"Brother Xiao Ming, I'm really touched by how much you take care of me."

"I won't hide it from you. In fact, I opened my own studio and put a lot of effort into it. If I can't do it, I will have the cheek to go to you."

These remarks are quite sincere and sincere, and there is nothing wrong with them.

In fact, Zhou Yutang knew in his heart that Huang Xiaoming had a lot of resources in his hands, but they were all his own.

In the past, Zhou Yutang played a supporting role at best, rather than being the master of the house.

After all, Marquis Wen once said that a man should not be depressed for a long time.

Zhou Yutang also has his own ambitions, as long as this drama can become famous, then the next road will be easy.

"Haha, young people are ambitious, I am optimistic about you, no matter what, my door here will always be open for you."

Huang Xiaoming didn't take it seriously either, and didn't mention this again, instead warmly greeted Zhou Yutang for dinner and drinks.

The two have their own thoughts, but on the surface they chatted very well, and the relationship became more and more intimate. The most direct manifestation was Huang Xiaoming's change of address for Zhou Yutang, from "Yu Tang" to "Xiao Tang".

This means that the relationship between the two has gone a step further.

Between toasting and chatting, it was natural to talk about the investment situation of the TV series "Want to See You". After Huang Xiaoming got a preliminary understanding, he immediately expressed his willingness to support, and will send someone over to discuss the relevant details.

Anyway, in his opinion, the cost of this drama is not high. The original novel is quite popular on the Internet, and the quality of the script has also been affirmed. There is no problem in making it into a TV series.

As long as it works well, this project is likely to be profitable, which is a good small investment.

After talking about the matter, in fact, I just had a simple meal and drank some wine to sublimate my feelings. Halfway through, the assistant received a call and whispered a few words in Huang Xiaoming's ear. Zhou Yutang seemed to vaguely hear Huayi Xiaowang's name .

"Xiaotang, I'm sorry, I have an important dinner party tonight."

Huang Xiaoming got up and said apologetically: "Other matters, someone will talk to you in detail some other day, so I'll stop here first."

"Okay, go slowly, brother Ming."

Zhou Yutang nodded.

Huang Xiaoming pushed the door out, and the assistant went to buy the bill.

Good guy, I ate more than 5000 for a meal, which is a bit extravagant for Zhou Yutang at present, but for Huang Xiaoming, who has become a big star, it is nothing more than drizzle.

I don't know where the news leaked out, there are a few Mingjiao fans standing by the door waiting for a group photo, and Yuji is also squatting outside.

Zhou Yutang stood in the corner of the hall, watching Huang Xiaoming sign the group photo with a smile on his face.

After getting into a Mercedes-Benz business car, the personal assistant immediately handed over a warm and wet towel and asked, "Brother Ming, you have been so busy these days that you don't even have time to sleep. When did you read that novel?" ?”

"At most 200 million small projects, it doesn't matter if you invest a little."

Huang Xiaoming wiped his face with a towel, leaned on the seat and began to close his eyes to rest his mind, recharging his energy for the next more important dinner party.

Compared with Zhou Yutang's TV series, Huang Xiaoming wants to invest in Zhou Yutang more.

This Nortel junior is obviously a young man with great potential, with a top-notch image, talented and thoughtful.

But there are so many people with ideas like this in the circle. Every year, I don’t know how many people show up, and I don’t know how many people fail in the glitz, their dreams are broken, and then disappear.

Do you really think that the entertainment industry is so easy to understand?
The reason why Huang Xiaoming didn't insist on continuing to persuade Zhou Yutang was also clear about this.

Since more preaching will only have the opposite effect.

Then wait.

After Zhou Yutang had failed a few times, his head would bleed when he touched it.

When the time comes, I will send charcoal in the snow and extend a helping hand, then I will be able to effortlessly win people's hearts and use them for my own use.

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

When he came out of the restaurant, Zhou Yutang smelled of alcohol all over his body. He wanted to take a taxi back to school, but he didn't see a taxi all the way.

I simply found a bathing center nearby and took a bath, feeling much more comfortable.

Walking aimlessly in the streets and alleys of this imperial capital, feeling the cool breeze of the capital at night.

Zhou Yutang's expression was calm. As he walked, he looked up and saw the capital buildings towering into the sky, surrounded by radiance and prosperity like a dream.

He raised his hand and made a gesture of shooting into the sky:

Do I need to look up for a long time?

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

the next day.

Huang Xiaoming's assistant called to discuss specific cooperation matters.

Happiness came so suddenly.

Zhou Yutang understood why Brother Xiaoming was so easy-going.

It is true that high EQ will come. Of course, it is also possible that Zhou Yutang is optimistic about Zhou Yutang's own talent and future development, and uses his own connections to make an early investment.

If Zhou Yutang gains momentum in the future, it will be a favor.

Once the funds are in place, the bureau of "Want to See You" will be formed.

The chief producer is Zhang Guoli. Brother Xiaoming's studio has not yet been established. Through his personal connections, he found a Xiangjiang native named Feng Boyuan from Huayi's side to help as the producer. The director is teacher Xue Xiaolu.

Of course, Zhang Guoli himself was very busy with work, so he just put up a name and sent a manager named Li Hao from National Changsheng Film and Television to work. Everyone got together and held a meeting, mainly to clarify the preparatory tasks.

This show has no big scenes. After calculation, the estimated cost is 600 million. It is estimated to shoot 26 episodes. Zhou Yutang's personal studio invested 180 million and accounted for 30%. Zhang Guoli and Huang Xiaoming each invested 210 million to share the remaining share.

Zhou Yutang's ability to get this share is considered an advantage, after all, as far as the moment is concerned, his personal energy is completely incomparable with Zhang Guoli's company and Huang Xiaoming's.

At this time, the money is still very valuable, mainly because the actors’ salaries are cheap. The price of first-line actresses like Shuang Bing is only about 4 per episode. Zhou Yutang's personal remuneration plus screenwriter's fee for this drama is 25 yuan, which is quite good for a newcomer.

Then there is the work of Guoli Film and Television and Huayi, including contacting venues, selecting scenes, organizing logistics teams, etc.

"Liangzi, is this your first filming?"

Feng Boyuan seemed to find Zhou Yutang very pleasing to the eye, and he took the initiative to say hello when they met.

"Yes, brother, take care of me in the future."

Zhou Yutang was also very polite, this big guy from Xiangjiang has real skills.

He is one of the directors of "The Great Times", which created a miracle in Xiangjiang's ratings in the 90s.

Later, he went to the mainland to earn a lot of money, and he also participated in the production of the phenomenal "Sword of Heaven".

"Don't worry, Xiao Ming asked for it. My own person is here, so I will take care of it."

Feng Boyuan patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder.

"Young people are very talented. I have read several books you wrote. They are very good."

Li Hao is a fat man with a big smile. Zhang Guoli said hello in advance, so of course he also has a heart-to-heart relationship.

They all hang out in the circle, which one is not an old world.

Young people like Zhou Yutang who are handsome and talented, and the key is that they can use their own money to organize and invest in dramas, are absolutely rare, and they don't spend money to say a few polite words.

"Pretty boy."

Feng Boyuan shook his hair: "I have read the script, it is very exciting, if you work hard, you will definitely have a chance to succeed in the future."

"Thank you, Brother Hao, Brother Hao, just call me Xiao Zhou, please give me more advice in the future."

Zhou Yutang didn't lose himself in the sound of being pretty, and he was very upright, with a very upright posture.

The person carrying the person in a sedan chair will soon be part of the same crew, and he also intends to handle the relationship well.

After a conversation, the relationship between the several people became closer. When it came to casting, Li Hao asked, "Yu Tang, do you have any ideas about the heroine in the script you wrote?"

"It's good that Mr. Zhou can act."

Zhou Yutang thought for a while and said.

The female lead in "Want to See You" plays a very important role, and to a certain extent, she has more room to play than the male lead.

Zhou Yutang still can't forget the stunning performance of Mr. Zhou in Suzhou Creek. In his heart, Mr. Zhou's acting skills can be said to be the No. 1 actress of the new generation.

Whether it is Chen Yunru, who is inferior and sensitive, or Huang Yuxuan, who is generous and cheerful, Zhou Yutang believes that she can definitely handle it perfectly.

"."

Li Hao and Feng Boyuan looked at each other silently.

You kid, you really dare to think, I still want to go to the moon!
　Ask for a monthly pass! ! !
