China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 137 Yoona’s boyfriend, the boss’s wool

Screenwriting is very different from writing a novel.

When writing a novel, you can be more casual and describe it in detail from many different angles, thereby enhancing the sense of immersion and making the characters and the entire story more complete.

The most important thing in script creation is the sense of the shot.

The screenwriter must stand from God's perspective and use words to clearly present the picture in his imagination.

Zhou Yutang has been writing the script "My Love from the Star" intermittently, and now it is finally completed.

After doing this, Zhou Yutang suddenly felt that his thoughts were clear, and he drank the water on the table that was no longer ice cold.

Although the overall operation of the screenwriting department at the studio is in good condition, and the second and third seasons of "Classmates" are doing very well, some important scripts are still written by Zhou Yutang himself.

After opening the refrigerator in the room, Zhou Yutang took a bottle of champagne and prepared to have a drink.

This trip was arranged by KBS TV station.

I booked the highest-standard presidential suite at the Shilla Hotel, a subsidiary of Samsung Chaebol, with all kinds of pleasures and facilities.

The three-star princess is a wonderful person.

On the hill in the garden below the hotel is a list of Chinese leaders who have stayed at the hotel.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the 22nd floor, Zhou Yutang looked out the window with a wine glass.

Everything seemed small.

the next day.

A nanny van was parked downstairs of SM Company.

Zhou Yutang walked out of the car and looked up at the not particularly majestic building in front of him.

Several people in suits and ties, both men and women, were waiting at the door of the company.

Listening to Song Qian's respectful address of "room chief" and "section chief", you know that she is equivalent to a manager or something like that.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"

One of them, a well-dressed middle-aged man, took the initiative to shake hands.

After Song Qian introduced him, he learned that this person was the director of the artist management department, named Han Shenghao.

"Hello, Chief Han."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

Han Shenghao's attitude was very respectful: "The president has important matters to attend to. Today, Song Qian will mainly take you to visit our SM company."

As he was walking towards the SM building, Zhou Yutang turned around and saw a truck parked outside the company's door. The truck had a screen on it with lines of large characters floating on it.

"What is this for?"

Zhou Yutang paused slightly, and Room Chief Han and the people around him suddenly looked embarrassed.

Song Qian came over and explained in a low voice: "This is made by Girls' Generation's Anti Rice. They rented a big truck and parked it downstairs of the company to protest."

And this operation?
Zhou Yutang was eye-opening.

Anti rice is the general term for black fans here.

The large screen in the car was filled with various protest slogans against Girls' Generation members.

Zhou Yutang and Song Qian were walking and chatting, and heard about more outrageous actions of black fans.

Add super glue to your annoying idol drinks, shake hands with razor blades during fan meetings, or just send dead rats into your home
by comparison.

Those domestic trolls who bang on the keyboard are kind and cute.

Zhou Yutang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Isn't Girls' Generation's situation very bad recently?"

"Well, it is very difficult. Because many fans resisted, the company suspended the singing activities of the seniors and prepares to release the next album next year."

I happened to go to the celebrity peripheral products area of ​​SM Company.

There are many celebrity peripheral products here. Zhou Yutang casually took Zhang Yoona's card and said, "Bring me a pen, I'll write something to Yoona."

"Senior, do you still know senior Yoona from SNSD?" Song Qian looked surprised.

"Of course, the last time I came to South Korea for an event, Yoona and I sang together."

Zhou Yutang quickly wrote a message of support on the back of Lin Yuner's card, tied a knot with a ribbon, and handed it to Song Qian: "Please help me give it to Yuner."

She is still my little crush, so I need some encouragement.

"Senior is really a good person."

Song Qian handed out a good person card with emotion, suddenly took out a poster from her pocket, and said with some trepidation: "Well. I have a roommate who is also a fan of yours. Can you sign this poster for me later? She’s still practicing.”

"Don't call me senior from now on. Just call me Yu Tang. Give me the poster."

"Who is the handsome guy who came to the company today?"

"Could it be that he's the new guy who joined the company? He's really, really handsome."

"Ah, you don't even recognize the handsome guy Li Ziwei who was very popular last year?"

"That's the idol who redefined handsome guys. I heard that Teacher Lee Soo Man invited me to visit the company. It's a pity that I didn't get an autograph or a photo!"

Practicing ginger Seulgi’s eyes are shining.

"Is it really him? I met him downstairs in the company today. He was accompanied by several room directors, so I didn't dare to look at him more."

Pei Zhuxuan opened her mouth slightly, with a look of shock on her face.

There were whispers in SM's practice room, and Zhou Yutang's appearance became the center of the conversation.

After the visit, Song Qian returned to the practice room to practice. When she saw how popular Zhou Yutang was, as a compatriot, she felt a sense of pride and deep admiration in her heart.

This senior friend of hers is really the most powerful peer she has ever met.

It's quite incredible that it can have such a big influence in South Korea.

"Crystal, I got the autograph for you."

"Wow, Dafa, sister, you are so good."

The girl named Crystal has a delicate appearance, wearing sportswear, with a slender figure and slender legs.

It seemed that he had just finished dancing, and he ran over happily without wiping the sweat off his face. He took the signed poster and looked at it again and again. He held it in his arms and his smiling eyes turned into cute crescent moons.

"I want to put it on the bedside of my bedroom."

Little Crystal pulled Song Qian and asked curiously: "Sister, you have met Zhou Yutang twice. Is he as handsome as he looks on TV in real life?"

"Well, he's much more handsome than on TV."

Song Qian pondered for a while, then gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel: "He also encouraged us to train hard and wished us a successful debut in the future!"

"Wow, he is truly a man!"

"Crystal, you practice first. I have something to do with Yoona."

"Yeah, tell my sister, I'm going to treat you to a barbecue dinner tonight!"

Xiao Jingshu, who was in a state of excitement because she got a signed poster from Zhou Yutang, was very atmospheric.

Her real name is Zheng Xiujing, and her English name is Krystal. She was the roommate assigned by the company after Song Qian came to SM as a trainee.

The two people take care of each other in life and have a very good relationship.

After saying a few words to Little Crystal, Song Qian walked towards the practice room upstairs.

They are trainees who have not yet debuted, but Girls' Generation is a member of a group that has successfully debuted, and they do not practice in the same practice room.

I found Song Qian looking at the door of the practice room. In the junior practice room, a girl with a somewhat cold appearance walked over slowly.
"It's Song Qian, what's the matter?"

"Senior Sika, Crystal said I would treat you to a barbecue dinner tonight."

"Ah, is this little guy secretly hiding his pocket money behind my back again?"

Jessica's eyebrows were raised, looking like she was a big sister. Song Qian chuckled and said, "Is Senior Yoona here?"

"What do you want from Yoona?"

"Well, a senior asked me to give her something important."

"Oh, it's not just another love letter."

Jessica shook her head: "I really can't do anything with those guys. Yoona has gone out for a trip. I will bring it back for you, but Yoona will probably throw it away."

Lin Yoona has been in a very low mood recently.

As the face of Girls' Generation.

She is the most popular in the group and also has a lot of negative fans.

The group debuted for more than a year, but their development has not been smooth. The Wonder girls have been pressing down on them, and the journey has been quite bumpy.

I encountered the Black Sea several times during my recent stage performance.

The so-called Black Sea.

Fans of many other idols or groups unite to boycott Girls' Generation.

During SNSD's stage performance, they all turned off the support lights, turning the stage into a sea of ​​black.

Now, SM Entertainment has suspended Girls' Generation's singing activities and only retained some personal schedules, hoping to cool down the situation and allow them to prepare for their next album "Gee".

The nine members of Girls' Generation suffered such a blow, and their mentality was on the verge of collapse.

Lin Yoona was lying on the sofa in the dormitory, holding her head in her hands, watching TV programs boredly, feeling that everything was boring.

Jessica put on the facial mask and walked to the living room. She took out a card with a bow and handed it over: "Yooner, Song Qian said that a senior gave you a gift. Could it be another senior who confessed her love?"

"Oh?"

Lin Yoona weakly took the card, opened the bow, and took a look.

A very beautiful line of regular Chinese characters.

"The ideal is very far away. It is a bumpy road that we have to walk on step by step. Come on, Lin Yuner - Zhou Yutang." After seeing the last name, Lin Yuner jumped up from the sofa in an instant, and her original powerless look disappeared.

Seeing Lin Yuner sitting up straight, her clear deer eyes suddenly opened wide, with indescribable surprise in her eyes. Jessica was so frightened that her mask fell off.
"Yooner, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister Xika, this is what Song Qian asked you to hand over, right?"

"Yes, she specially found the practice room today. You were running your schedule outside, so I brought it back to you."

"thank you."

Lin Yoona looked at the signed card over and over again, as if she had found a treasure.

Lin Yuner, who has passed the Intermediate Chinese Test, can understand the meaning of this sentence.

It was as if that gentle voice that could soothe a wounded soul rang in her ears, and a warm current surged from her body.

Lin Yuner's eyes gradually became moist.

"Sister Shuang, how about we set up an idol department in our studio in the future?"

After visiting the SM company and returning to the hotel to talk about business, Li Shuang quickly returned to his professional tone: "Do you want to start a girl group?"

"Sister Shuang, what you said is ambiguous and can easily be misunderstood."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched: "It's not about creating a girl group, it's about running a girl group. Do you know how much TVXQ makes for Sm Company?"

I went to SM Company. First, Song Qian showed me around, and then I listened to the nonsense of the room managers.

He probably has a good idea.

Pei Yun interjected: "Dongshen's album released in Japan in the first half of this year brought at least 1.5 million in revenue to SM, not counting the concerts."

“It’s not just about making money, it’s also about the influence it brings.”

"That being said, it seems like it can really be done."

Li Shuang pondered for a long time before speaking.

Zhou Yutang heard from Pei Yun about the perversions of entertainment company contracts in South Korea.

Not only is the commission taken very low.

Moreover, various training expenses before the artist debuts, as well as the company's publicity and promotion expenses are all counted on the artist himself.

This is a muddled account.

Isn’t it the company that has the final say as to the amount of the money?
TVX has become popular throughout Asia, and as a result, each of their group earns an estimated several million per year.

According to Pei Yun's gossip, some people in the TVXQ group want to run away with the bucket.

Zhou Yutang discussed it with Li Shuang and Pei Yun for a while, and increasingly felt that this project was feasible.

On the one hand, it creates revenue, and on the other hand, it can also increase the influence of the studio.

of course.

The idea is good, but in practice it is not that easy.

Pei Yundao: "The most popular girl group in South Korea is JYP's Wonder Girls. They have already entered the North American market, but even SM's Girls' Generation project failed. It's not that easy to operate."

"Don't rush."

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "Sister Yun, as my representative, you will first participate in KBS's "The Voice" program, and then slowly understand the operation of this aspect, and wait until the time is right to start operations."

This is how he always does things.

Plan before taking action and never fight an unprepared battle.

KBS is one of the three major television stations in South Korea.

Not only is it a state-owned institution funded and supported by the South Korean Broadcasting Bureau, it is also the TV station with the highest qualifications and ratings, and its status is similar to China’s CCTV.

Zhou Yutang's debut film "Want to See You" was broadcast on this TV station. The response was extremely enthusiastic and attracted him many South Korean fans.

However, in recent years, SBS TV station has also gained momentum, and has successively released several hit TV series.

After hearing from an insider there that they were interested in contacting a Chinese company to purchase the South Korean regional rights to "The Voice," KBS's top executives decided to make the first move.

Winning this national-level music variety show in China.

The deputy director of KBS led Zhou Yutang out of the conference room of the KBS building and took the initiative to shake hands with him: "Mr. Zhou, it is our honor to reach cooperation with you. I hope your people can come over quickly. We want to come as soon as possible." Start recording the program."

The South Korean copyright of the Good Voice program was sold for 200 million, plus a 10% program dividend, and this dividend will fluctuate depending on the program's ratings.

The deputy director of KBS feels that it is very profitable.

Zhou Yutang also felt that it was not a loss.

However, if the cooperation is finalized, Mingjie Company will still need to send members of the program production team to guide KBS in completing the program recording.

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: "The country has been notified. I wonder if I can visit the film and television and variety show departments of KBS?"

"Of course you can, please."

The deputy director's eyes lit up slightly and he took the initiative to lead the way.

Different from China, the status of screenwriters in South Korea is very high. In many cases, TV stations fund well-known screenwriters to write scripts. The screenwriter can even decide whether an actor is suitable to star in his work, and will be based on the audience's feedback while filming and broadcasting. Make plot adjustments.

Directors in China have more say, and there are also big-name actors who will even bring their own screenwriters to the set to add scenes for themselves.

After briefly understanding the operation of the TV drama department here, Zhou Yutang's main focus is on the variety show department.

The deputy director took the initiative to introduce with a strong and proud tone: "Our KBS's "Two Days and One Night" is now the well-deserved top variety show in China."

Zhou Yutang asked Li Shuang to do his homework before he came.

The outdoor variety show "Two Days and One Night" here is indeed doing well.

The program aims to "experience the wildlife and travel to beautiful places in South Korea" as its purpose, and has successfully become a well-known variety show in South Korea. The specific format is simple.

At the beginning, several MCs who participated in the show were left somewhere.

Want to have dinner?

Want to sleep well?
Everyone needs to accept and complete the task. The winner can enjoy the fruits of victory, while the loser can only watch from the side.

This creates a very strong conflict and can also create laughter.

The ratings of "Two Days and One Night" prove the audience of outdoor variety shows. The first season directly created a ratings miracle on South Korean TV, achieving an average ratings of more than 40% and the highest segment ratings of more than 50%.

In other words, almost half of the people in a country have watched it.

Zhou Yutang, accompanied by the deputy director of KBS, had a meal with Na Yingshi, the director of the "Two Days and One Night" program, and several main MCs Jiang Hodong, Lee Soo-geun, Eun Ji-won and others.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Yutang called Tian Ming: "Brother Ming, the deal on "The Voice" has been finalized. When you ask people from the company to come over, pay attention to carefully inspect the production process of "Two Days and One Night"."

"You want to buy the rights to this show?"

"It's not necessary. I think there will be a huge market for outdoor variety shows in the future. Let's check it out in advance and make our own outdoor variety show in the future."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming had a brief communication on the phone.

have to say.

In terms of variety shows, South Korean Bangzi is indeed at the forefront of Asia.

The "Love Letter" variety show in previous years was also popular across Asia, but Zhou Yutang feels that this "Two Days and One Night" is more interesting.

The first is to go from indoors to outdoors, breaking away from the fixed routine of the original indoor variety show. While the space is more open, the program mode is also more diversified, giving the audience a strong sense of freshness.

Outdoor variety shows are definitely the next code for ratings.

Grasp this key, and in the next ten years, domestic variety shows will be dominated by Zhou Yutang!

After staying in South Korea for three days, Zhou Yutang flew directly back to the capital.

The matters over there were left to Pei Yun. He received a call from Han Sanping this time and hurried back to participate in the film's post-production.

I don’t know where those media reporters learned about his itinerary, but they were blocked at the airport:
"Zhou Yutang, how do you feel about winning two Golden Horse Awards?"

"I don't have any special feelings. Maybe I'm lucky."

"I heard that you went to South Korea this time and reached a cooperation with KBS TV station. Can you reveal the cooperation project?"

"I can't disclose it at the moment."

"The box office of "Mei Lanfang" and "Ip Man" released at the same time is expected to exceed [-] million. Which one are you more optimistic about?"

"They are all good movies."

"China Film has announced the most important film project "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" next year. I heard that you will participate in it. What do you want to say?"

"It's my pleasure."

After finally breaking out of the encirclement, Zhou Yutang breathed a sigh of relief.

Let Sister Shuang go back to the studio to handle things first, and go straight to China Film Group.

This time, the post-production of "The Lonely Agent" was done by China Film Group. Han Sanping also participated in the post-production of the film and was very satisfied with the quality of the film "The Lonely Agent".

However, the rough cut of the entire film lasted for more than three hours, so appropriate cuts must be made.

Han Sanping was also a drunkard who didn't care about drinking. He was very interested in his cooperation with South Korea's KBS. After learning about the cooperation content, he patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder.

"Yes, we used to bring it in from outside, but now we export it. You did a good job."

Feeling more and more satisfied with Zhou Yutang in his heart, just like Liu Bei to Zhuge Wolong, Han Sanping felt that he should also express his feelings:

"Yu Tang, just go ahead and do it. If you have any difficulties that need to be solved in the future, don't worry, just ask them."

"Mr. Han, I really need your help with something small."

"You said."

"Do you still have the tea leaves from last time?"

"."
