China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 621 OL Suit Liu Tianxian, the Grand Commander does things this way

Could it be that the affair between Tang Yan and Yang Mi has been discovered?
A certain scumbag looked at Liu Shishi's tense face and felt a pang in his heart.

I just heard her say that it was Gong Li's agent who blasted the Golden Horse Awards, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and echoed, "What's going on?"

The tablet is playing a game and automatically killing monsters, while the phone is used to read the news.

Liu Shishi had a schedule in the afternoon, so she was very busy. She didn't even have time to eat her apple and was gossiping with Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang patted Liu Shishi's buttocks, asked her to sit closer, and took the phone.

Yesterday, Gong Li maintained her composure and said she was very happy, but she did not attend the Golden Horse Awards dinner. She flew directly to join the crew of "Journey to the West: Part Two: The Monkey King 2".

This movie is the sequel to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". The investors may think that the cast can be even more luxurious, so they spent a lot of money to hire Gong Li to play the White Bone Demon.

As soon as Gong Huang left, her agent Zeng Jingchao immediately leaked information to the media, blasting the Golden Horse Awards, "I am especially grateful for the Golden Horse Awards for giving me this opportunity, which allowed me to understand what an unprofessional film festival is like."

Now, apart from the news about him winning the award, the headlines are all about the verbal battle between the two sides.

Zhou Yutang logged into Shi Shi's second account and read netizens' comments for a while.

Most of them were speaking up for Gong Li.

After all, Gong Li's acting skills, depth and creativity are recognized by everyone.

She is the first Chinese-speaking actress to win both the Venice Film Festival and the Montreal Film Festival Best Actress award, as well as the Hong Kong Film Award Best Actress. It is no surprise that she has won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in China. She actually gave Chen Xiangqi a sedan chair.

Zhang Aijia, chairman of the Golden Horse Executive Committee, responded immediately, saying that the review process and results have always been independent and fair, and not affected by any external forces.

Chen Kexing also jumped out at this time to muddy the waters: "Zhao Yanzi's performance is no worse than Gong Li's. What makes me even more disappointed and puzzled is that "Dear" did not receive a nomination for Best Picture and Best Director."

There are also rumors that Chen Chong, a member of this year's Golden Horse Awards jury, stepped on Gong Li because of personal grudges.

Some people also revealed the inside story, saying that the Golden Horse Organizing Committee did not want to see the situation where all the awards, big and small, were almost swept by mainland films. It was a bit embarrassing and they were trying to save face.

There are really all kinds of opinions.

Any award in the entertainment industry, whether it is China's three major awards or the American Oscars.

These are all the rules of the game in a circle.

Only by standing at a certain height in this circle can you understand the rules and logic of the awards, and the boundaries therein are not absolute truths.

Where there are people, there are interests.

As long as there are interests, there can be no absolute fairness.

Given Zhou Yutang's status, going to the Golden Horse Awards is a way to give face to Li An.

It seems that there are some unexpected things every year, and who knows what kind of trouble will happen in the future. I will definitely not be able to attend the next one.

"How about creating a new Golden Dragon Award?"

This thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly.

With his current resources and influence, if he speaks out, there may be hope.

But it is not that easy to run an award. First of all, you have to touch the cake of "some people".

"It's a bit troublesome. It can't be done all at once. We have to work on it step by step."

Shaking his head slightly, Zhou Yutang quickly put these things behind him.

After all, he is still young and time is on his side.

Plant a seed now, and maybe it will bloom into a beautiful flower in the future.

After returning to Beijing, the crew of "Red Ling" once again held a thank-you party at the Imperial Hotel.

In addition to Zeng Li, Li Xin, Li Xuejian and crew members, many friends and big names in the circle came, and several teachers from the Film Academy were also invited.

Xiao Gangpao came here with Mr. Wang from Huayi. When he saw Zhou Yutang, his eyes lit up.

The face with some white spots forced a smile and walked up quickly. Feng Xiaogang started to greet him: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou. Come over and have a drink to share in the good luck."

"Director Feng, you're too polite. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Boss Zhou, I really can't hide anything from you."

Feng Xiaogang grinned and said, "It's really a small matter, and I want to ask you for a favor. Can you spare some time to make a cameo appearance in my movie Old Cannon?"

"There are not many shots, and it can be done in a day or two at most." Wang Zhonglei added.

"Excuse me."

Zhou Yutang didn't leave them any room: "Director Feng, President Wang, I really can't make it with my schedule."

"The Mermaid" is a major project in which the company has invested over 100 million yuan. When the money earned goes into their own pocket, it would be no problem for them to make a guest appearance.

When it comes to helping Huayi's "Mr. Six", Zhou Yutang is not in the habit of helping others.

"That's such a shame."

Pulling Mr. Wang who was about to say something, Feng Xiaogang showed regret and shook his head: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, you have won the Best Director and Best Actor trophies for two consecutive years, breaking the Golden Horse Awards record."

"Director Feng is overpraising me. I just got lucky."

After a few polite words, Zhou Yutang withdrew.

Mr. Wang said angrily: "Xiaogang, why did you stop me just now?"

"Forget it, Mr. Wang. A forced melon is not sweet."

Feng Xiaogang said slowly, "If he agrees, then we will definitely make money. If he doesn't agree, then forget it. We won't lose anything anyway. We still have Li Yifeng and Wu Yifan."

"What you said makes sense."

Mr. Wang nodded and said, "This movie will be released in the second half of next year at the latest. By then, Li Yifeng and Wu Yifan will be top-tier actors with a lot of resources invested in them. They won't have to worry about popularity at all."

After a pause, Xiao Wang watched Zhou Yutang talking to a teacher from the Film Academy, and something in his heart moved: "I heard that La Peikang went to Jiangdong Building twice in the past few days. Do you think the project of "The Great Wall" fell into his hands?"

"Hard to say."

Feng Xiaogang shook his head and lowered his voice, "With the current work style of the person in charge of China Film, if the deal was done, he would have released the information long ago and made it known to the world. He would not have waited until now. We have also submitted our proposal, so there is still a chance."

Tonight in the banquet hall, there is a lot of excitement with clinking glasses and toasting.

Tian Zhuangzhuang hadn't seen his beloved disciple for a while, so he came up and asked in a friendly manner about "The Great Wall".

At this time, the entire entertainment industry was paying attention to this matter. Zhou Yutang told the truth and Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't say much.

Zhou Yutang is capable and has his own ideas.

As a teacher, he did not tell Zhou Yutang what to do, but stood behind him to support him silently and used his own connections to pave the way for his students.

Now that Zhou Yutang has grown stronger and no longer needs his help, he still maintains the necessary courtesy and humility when facing him, which makes Old Tian very happy.

the next day.

Zhou Yutang held a meeting with the management and screenwriter team at the company to discuss the revised first draft of the script of "The Great Wall".

Since I got involved in this project, I have been revising the script these days, including going to the "Mermaid" crew and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.

Based mainly on his ideas, some imaginative details were improved and supplemented by the editorial team at the top level.

Just as the meeting was over, Ning Hao, wearing a big gold chain, came over to join in the fun.
"We were having a script meeting and you came over to eavesdrop. Get out."

"No, Boss Zhou, I'll just take a look."

Ning Hao scratched his head and grinned: "I promise to keep it a secret. Hey, Lao Ping, why did you leave?"

"It's over."

Pingceng chuckled, and a few editors also laughed to themselves when they saw the big gold chain.

Ning Hao's Bad Monkey Studio is rented in the Jiangdong Entertainment Building, and all his film projects are done in post-production at Vision Media.

He would come to visit and eat with me whenever he had time, and after a while, we became familiar with each other.

"It's really an unfortunate coincidence."

Ning Hao glanced at the projection screen in dismay, but saw nothing.

"Didn't they find you there?"

"I found it. Damn, the foreigner is really willing to spend a lot of money."

“Any ideas for trying it?”

"If I hadn't made a little money, I would have been tempted."

Ning Hao's smile was cunning: "Tsk tsk, I can't handle this hot potato of a $1.5 million blockbuster. You have to do it."

“You make a lot of money.”

Zhou Yutang pointed at Ning Hao and chuckled.

Bad Monkey is the main producer of "Lost in Thailand". Based on the current movie box office which has soared to 15 billion, the rate of return is frighteningly high, at least more than a small target.

Ning Hao made a great comeback and became one of the most profitable directors in China, and Dong Ping also increased his stakes.

After careful consideration, Ning Hao finally made a decision.

He will join the Huanxi Capital Bureau led by Dong Ping as a director, but he will not participate in the specific operations of Huanxi.

Taking Ning Hao back to her office, Ni Ni poured him some tea and talked about the "The Great Wall" project.

"The leading rights of this project are still in the hands of Universal and Legendary."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed, "Whatever you want to do, I'm afraid even Mr. La's words may not count."

These days, La Peikang calls every day, more frequently than Liu Tianxian.

The operating systems of Universal and Legendary are very mature.

Although Zhou Yutang is their first choice, they will definitely make contingency plans and contact almost all the big directors in China.

The national master is a key public relations target. Zhou Xingxing from the crew and Li An from Taiwan Province both received invitations and talked to Zhou Yutang about this matter.

Zhou Xingxing put all his attention on "The Mermaid", and Li An also had another big project to work on.

Ning Hao has been in high spirits recently and has reached the peak of his life.

He rose to fame overnight and successfully became a director with a box office of 15 billion, so naturally he received invitations.

"There are too many projects coming to me recently, so I plan to take a break for a while."

"Take some rest?"

Zhou Yutang was slightly surprised.

When the fire was raging and oil was boiling, with so much capital waving its money and coming to the door, Ning Hao unexpectedly retreated at this time.

"After finishing this film, I felt a little hollowed out, and I felt more and more that the alien project was not very mature."

Ning Hao said seriously: "I want to calm down and settle down for a while, and do some behind-the-scenes work as a producer and supervisor. Boss Zhou, if you have any projects, just call me and let me learn from you."

"Then you can go and work with Guo Fan on the later stages of the Magic Thieves. Next year, The Wandering Earth will be launched."

Zhou Yutang was chatting casually with Ning Hao when he received a call from Ni Ni.

Oh my, the fairy is coming.

Liu Yifei seldom comes to the Jiangdong Entertainment Company building.

She was even too lazy to go to her own company, Hongxingwu, and basically left all matters, big and small, to Aunt Liu.

This time when she came to Jiangdong Entertainment, it was Xiaoxue, the front desk clerk, who diligently led her to the 9th floor.

"Wow, I thought Nazha was already a goddess with unrivaled beauty, but I didn't expect the goddess herself to be so beautiful!"

"It's a 50-50 split. Nazha's facial features are three-dimensional and exotic, while Liu Tianxian's temperament is too fairy."

"This skin is so white that it glows!"

"Why did she come here suddenly? Did she come to discuss a project with the boss?"

The employees of Jiangdong Entertainment were also a little curious and started discussing it privately.

There are many beauties in the company, but when you see Liu Tianxian, who is the epitome of beauty, you will still feel your eyes brighten.

He sent Ning Hao to find Guo Fan, and Zhou Yutang carried the gasping, soft and plump body of the fairy to the bed in the lounge.

Even the shoulder straps fell onto her arms, and the snow-white skin around her neck and below the collar was flushed with a charming blush.

"Xiao Zhou, are you crazy? Ni Ni is right outside the door." Liu Tianxian's body gradually became weak, but her hands were pressed tightly against Zhou Yutang's chest, her feet were arched, and her voice unconsciously carried a baby tone.

Thinking of the meaningful smile on Ni Ni's face when she brought her in and closed the door, Liu Tianxian's face felt hot.

I always feel like she is watching me outside the door. It's so embarrassing.

The red cheeks made Zhou Yutang even wilder, but he finally restrained the idea of ​​practicing Taoism while getting paid because La Peikang called him.

This afternoon, I met with people from Universal and Legendary to start the second round of negotiations.

Liu Tianxian quickly broke free from Zhou Yutang's arms and went to the independent bathroom in the president's office with weak legs and feet.

After she had put her clothes in order and splashed water on her face until the blush gradually faded, she looked in the mirror to make sure there were no traces, and then Liu Tianxian came out.

"Xiao Zhou, do you really want to take on The Great Wall?"

Just now, Zhou Yutang was talking to La Peikang while teasing her intentionally. While she was biting her lips and closing her legs to resist, Liu Tianxian also heard a general idea of ​​their conversation.

“It doesn’t look optimistic.”

Zhou Yutang rested his hands behind his head and stretched out on the sofa.

Looking at Liu Tianxian gathering her hair with both hands, I just felt it was extremely pleasing to the eye.

"Is there a better director than you?"

Liu Tianxian wrinkled her nose and snorted.

In her heart, Zhou Yutang must be the most powerful, no doubt about it.

“That’s not how it works.”

Zhou Yutang stretched out his hand and gently pulled Liu Tianxian's body onto his legs. He put his arm around her waist and explained happily:
"This kind of project is very complicated. It requires the interests of all parties to be aligned and there are many things to consider."

China Film Academy, large conference room.

La Peikang was conversing in a low voice with several senior executives of China Film Corporation.

With legendary CEO Thomas Tull, and Universal's co-chairman Donna Langley's team.

There are also representatives of the Jiangdong business team and legal representatives brought by Zhou Yutang.

There were dozens of people from the three forces sitting there.

Liu Tianxian, who was sitting next to Zhou Yutang, had her back straight, her body tense, and a surge of nervousness in her heart, her fingers were pinched until they turned white.

This naughty little Zhou only knows how to coax others.

He also said that he just came to have a simple meeting and asked me to translate at the same time.

What the hell is this?
I didn’t expect it to be such a big scene.

The legendary CEO Thomas and Universal's co-chairman Donna obviously noticed Liu Tianxian beside Zhou Yutang, and greeted her with a smile:

"Crystal, nice to meet you."

"Lucy", a movie starring a female star, raked in $4.4 million at the global box office, which is a very impressive achievement among Hollywood actresses.

But the more important thing is that Liu Yifei sat next to Zhou Yutang, and they obviously had a close relationship.

That status went beyond the realm of a celebrity, and the old foxes in the business world soon realized that they might be able to make something of it.

"Me too."

Liu Yifei had a decent smile on her face.

She was a little nervous at the beginning, but when she saw Zhou Yutang's calm and composed expression, she seemed to have found a support and her mood gradually relaxed.

The formal negotiation process soon began.

"The top director's salary, plus a share of the box office revenue, as well as the casting of actors, the leadership of the crew, and the right to make suggestions on the final editing"

"Zhou, the script will be based on our ideas. You can have the power to suggest small-scale changes. You can even use Crystal as the heroine. She is a very good candidate. These are the best conditions we can offer. I hope you can consider it."

Thomas opened the group, followed by Donna. The woman's voice was even more persuasive: "Zhou, this is also a great opportunity for you to increase your influence in Hollywood and around the world."

"Working with us, with the resources of Universal and Legendary leading the way, plus the support of China Film Group in China and your influence, this is bound to be a great project."

"Just imagine that you are in control of the top teams in China and the United States. Our global data department predicts that the initial box office for this movie will not be less than 7 million US dollars, and it may have the hope of hitting 10 billion US dollars. By then, you will be the second director Nolan."

I have to say that this woman has a strong personal charm as she is able to reach the position of co-chairman of Global Holdings.

It seemed that the words she spoke and the bright prospects were right within reach.

Even Liu Yifei was fooled and a little confused.

She was a little surprised that she was mentioned, but she was not moved and continued to do her translation work diligently.

He leaned over and whispered in Zhou Yutang's ear.

Zhou Yutang himself is also a master of making cakes. No matter how much she boasted, he was not moved. He was very sensitive and caught a new word:

"Final editing suggestion rights?"

"Yu Tang."

La Peikang pushed up his glasses and explained, "This is the sincerity of Legendary and Universal. Let's make a compromise and discuss it together when the time comes."

"Zhou, we respect your ability and we also respect Chairman La Peikang."

Legendary CEO Thomas smiled confidently: "That's why we made an exception for you and made a big concession. If you have no problem with it, then we can move on to the next stage of contract discussions soon."

Miss Liu was considering how to translate, but Zhou Yutang spoke first: "I'm sorry, Mr. Thomas, Ms. Donna, we couldn't reach a consensus. I want all the control, including the script, casting, and final editing, not just the power of suggestion."

"Zhou, won't you think about it again?"

"There's no point in discussing this further. You can't give me what I want."

"I think you will regret it."

Thomas's expression was a little ugly: "This kind of opportunity doesn't always come."

"It doesn't matter. I hope you have a good time in the Celestial Empire."

Zhou Yutang stood up calmly and said to La Peikang, "Boss La, I have something else to do in the company, so I'll go back first."

He followed up with two rounds of talks out of respect for La Peikang.

Since the negotiations couldn't go through now, La Peikang couldn't say much.

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then picked up her small bag and followed Zhou Yutang out of the meeting room.

Seeing their boss getting up and leaving, the Jiangdong business team and legal department also left with him.

When he came out, he received a call from La Peikang, who explained the situation. Zhou Yutang smiled and expressed his understanding.

Everyone knows that even if this project fails, it will not affect the cooperative relationship between Jiangdong Entertainment and China Film.

"Xiao Zhou, don't you think it's a pity? People from Legendary and Universal said that there is hope that the box office will reach 10 billion US dollars."

After getting in the car and being alone with Zhou Yutang, Liu Tianxian became cheerful.

"Miss Xiao Liu, I just wanted you to be the heroine, but I rejected you. Do you think it's a pity?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Liu Tianxian rolled her eyes in an unladylike manner: "They are not that kind-hearted. They just want to use me as a bargaining chip to trap you."

"You know this as well?"

Zhou Yutang looked at Liu Tianxian with a different look.

The former Miss Liu seems to have grown up a bit.

"Of course, I am naturally beautiful and smart. Ouch."

Before she could finish feeling proud, Zhou Yutang put his arm around her waist and took her fragrant and plump body into his arms.

The earth never revolves around one person.

Legendary and Universal have to consider the performance of the global film market.

What La Peikang wants is the stability and correctness of the co-production project between the two countries, but Zhou Yutang's original intention for doing this project was based on respect for domestic audiences.

There is a conflict in everyone's fundamental concepts, so it is naturally impossible to cooperate.

After listening to Zhou Yutang's brief explanation of the interests involved, Liu Yifei suddenly understood and smiled as brightly as a lotus flower in clear water.

"Xiao Zhou, you looked very handsome just now."

"Same here. The female translator is also very pretty today."

Zhou Yutang put his hand on Liu Tianxian's thigh.

When she learned that she was going to be a translator, Liu Yifei went to change into a professional suit at noon.

A black skirt that only reaches three-quarters above the knee.

You can see her well-proportioned and slender calves and delicate ankles, all wrapped in black stockings, a typical urban girl's outfit.

"Hey, don't move."

Liu Tianxian's legs, wrapped in thin black stockings, tightly clamped the restless little hand.

Soft and delicate, with amazing elasticity.

They were flirting and didn't respond even when their cell phone rang a few times. It was not until Liu Tianxian pinched Zhou Yutang's waist that she answered the call.

"Mr. Han?"

"We're all retired, so just call me Old Han."

"That won't work. I'm used to calling you President Han."

Zhou Yutang placed his hand quietly on Liu Tianxian's leg. She did not resist. She leaned her head on Zhou Yutang's shoulder, staring at that exceptionally beautiful face.

The two were very close to each other, and she seemed to be able to smell a faint scent on the man. He didn't wear any perfume, but it smelled very good, giving her a refreshing and comfortable feeling.

Liu Tianxian listened to the conversation between the two with curiosity.

This incident shocked the entire Chinese entertainment industry. Han Sanping also paid close attention to it. When he heard that Zhou Yutang had voluntarily withdrawn, he said with emotion: "Yutang, you did the right thing. The "Forbidden Kingdom" back then was a lesson for us. It's a bit too hasty for La Peikang to want to get rid of my influence."

"."

Han Sanping was outside the situation and saw everything clearly, so he couldn't help but complain a few words. However, Liu Tianxian, who was affected by the AOE, curled his lips.

That movie can be said to be a shadow in her life.

If Zhou Yutang hadn't turned the tide and helped her deal with the subsequent impact, she couldn't imagine how miserable her fate would be.

Thinking of this, she hugged Zhou Yutang even tighter.

"Li An and Zhang Yimou both have projects in their hands, and they are the people like Sunglass King, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, and Wu Baige."

Han Sanping shook his head as he spoke: "Let Wang Jiawei do it. Whether he can finish it in five years is a question. Feng Xiaogang can't handle such a big scene. Brother Chen Kai, he..."

The old man always likes to nag, but since he is not in the position to do so, he can only complain to Zhou Yutang in private.

There are always differences between people.

If Han Sanping climbed up from the bottom, then La Peikang is the typical scholarly handsome man.

With many years of experience living in France, he is well versed in the operation and cooperation of the international film market, and has participated in the formulation of the current procedures and regulations for the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters into the Chinese film market.

Perhaps his vision is broader than Han Sanping's, and his overall ability is stronger than Han Sanping's.

But after all, he lacked the domineering and bandit-like aura of Han Sanping.

Zhou Yutang was ninety percent sure.

If it were a mountain eagle, he would definitely be so domineering as to overturn the table and take over the host's position when faced with this situation.
"Boss Han, Director La must have his own ideas and concerns."

Han Sanping could complain, but there were some things Zhou Yutang couldn't say. He just laughed it off and said, "Anyway, I still have my script. When the time comes, come and see if this project has been completed."

"what?"

Han Sanping was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "You want to start a new business?"

"It's not like I'm starting over. My script is totally different from The Great Wall."

Zhou Yutang's hand slid along Tianxian's thigh wrapped in black silk and said calmly: "This is how I do things."
