China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 761 The boss behind the scenes, Shenyan holds a meeting

"Hi, my favorite Zhou."

The picture shook and Bob's hands were adjusting the camera.

Once it was fixed, you could clearly see the old man's big face, frozen in the picture.

A model with a healthy bronze complexion, wearing only a bikini, walked over with her hips twisted exaggeratedly, and Mua kissed Lao Deng on the cheek.

Snapped!
Bob patted the girl's butt, which was shaking like jelly: "Lucy, I have something to do, go and play by yourself."

"Choke to death, Daddy."

"Oh, dear Zhou, adore Sauri."

Bob on the other end of the video spread his hands and said: "This little Brazilian wildcat is so clingy."

Even through the screen, Zhou Yutang could feel the lustful aura from Lao Deng.

Back to business, Bob resumed his professionalism as a Hollywood veteran: "Zhou, La La Land is a good musical film, but if you want to win an Oscar, you will have to arrange the corresponding public relations work right away..."

"It's up to you. Money is not a problem. Contact Zoe for details. She can represent me..."

Zhou Yutang leaned back on the sofa, looking relaxed and at ease: "How is the preparation for the Fifty Shades Darker project going?"

Your already busy time should be spent wisely.

As for matters like public relations, just leave them to the professional old Bob.

Having money means you can do whatever you want.

Not only can it make the foreigners grind the mill, but it can also make the foreign horses call you Sugar daddy.

"The contract had already been signed, but Jamie and the other vampires' agent suddenly asked for a pay raise. Fuck..."

When talking about professional topics, Old Bob showed his professional qualities. Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Wow, beautiful lady, nice to meet you."

"Hi, Nice to meet you."

"Mud howl, magnesium aluminum."

"..."

Da Mimi came out of the toilet after cleaning up the battlefield, wearing only Zhou Yutang's shirt...

As for the Bai Qian costume and the fox tail she brought, they lay quietly on the floor of the living room.

Ever since Liu Tianxian proposed to be free from desires while filming, Zhou Yutang readily agreed.

According to the law of conservation of time, his time will not disappear out of thin air, it will only be transferred from one side to the other.

The fox in the "Eternal Love" crew and Pei Nanwei in the snow each welcomed their happy moments together.

You are one, three, and five, and I am two, four, and six.

General Zhou has been partying every night these days.

Da Mimi is considered a top star in China. Although her fans have praised her popularity abroad, she is actually not that well-known.

It's understandable that Bob doesn't know Da Mimi.

But when Lao Deng praised her beauty, it came from the heart.

Da Mimi's figure is really amazing.

Even though she was wearing Zhou Yutang's slightly loose shirt, one could tell that the twigs had borne fruit.

The hem of the shirt was tied into a knot, tightening the waist to just enough to be held in one hand.

The lower body disappeared, revealing a pair of white and slender legs.

After saying hello, Da Mimi took out the sparkling water from the refrigerator, gulped down two glasses, and placed them on the table next to the sofa.

Then she sat down next to Zhou Yutang and rested her chin on his shoulder, as if she was intentionally showing her intimacy in front of Bob.

Bob wasn't surprised at all.

He knew about Zhou Yutang's romantic affairs, so it was normal for him to have more beauties besides Crystal, Cecilia, NiNi and others.

Da Mimi has always been very interested in Zhou Yutang's overseas business.

Just because she has played the role of a translator doesn’t mean she is proficient in foreign languages. Her English level is a bit regrettable.

It's probably just slightly better than simple spoken conversation like "Nice to meet you".

Hearing the professional terms constantly coming out of the two people's mouths, Da Mimi felt a little dizzy, but stubbornly pretended that she understood.

Old Deng is still complaining that the pay of the male and female actors of "Fifty Shades Darker" was increased too much, which is not conducive to cost control.

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched: "Bob, you really should be hung on the street light."

"Fifty Shades of Grey" grossed $5.71 million worldwide.

Just from the box office share of this movie, plus the subsequent streaming and other miscellaneous income, Zhou Yutang alone put over 100 million US dollars in profits into his own pocket.

Old Bob was the second producer and also made a lot of money.

The two leading actors, Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, only received $25...

Yes, you heard it right, $25.

At that time, the two of them were not famous and were just waiting to become famous by taking off their clothes.

However, the signed contract includes a bonus mechanism linked to the box office, and there will be subsequent subsidies.

Now that the previous film was a huge hit and a sequel was planned, the actors' pay would naturally increase accordingly.

Film pay is the most authentic reflection of an actor’s status, and foreigners also need to pursue progress.

“No subsequent share will be given.”

Zhou Yutang thought it was reasonable and made the final decision: "Two million dollars per person is reasonable."

When he does things, he is used to leaving room for benefits for his partners.

This is one of the reasons why he has been so successful over the years.

Anyway, the biggest cake will definitely belong to them, so it’s okay to let Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson have a taste of it.

"Zhou, you are still so generous."

Bob took the whiskey from the table and poured a sip into his mouth. "By the way, I think you were too cautious about what you said. It's not that serious..."

"There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'It is better to take precautions before they happen.'"

"Well, Zoe's business ability is very strong, but if I may be frank, she is not as good as you."

Zoe is Zou Zhongyan’s English name. Bob has done great things with her father, so how could he not know her abilities?

He is just a mediocre talent. If it weren't for Zhou Yutang's guidance, he would definitely not be the first Chinese-American gold medal producer in Hollywood today.

"Zoe is just standing on the stage and making decisions. Our business is still going on as usual. You should understand that."

Zhou Yutang raised the cup towards Bob, and old Bob's mind worked quickly.

The two smiled at each other, raised their whiskeys and clinked them with the camera.
"Cheers, to our everlasting friendship."

Da Mimi understood now, and raised her glass and took a sip, showing a sense of participation.

After the serious business was settled, Bob started to chat casually. After all, he was getting old and his nagging manner was like Xianglin Sao.
"This year the college has implemented reform measures, and you can expect to see more Nig in the college in the future. This is really too bad..."

The Hollywood version has always been very advanced, with issues such as environmental protection, feminism, and race being classics.

This year, foreign media have been stirring up a boycott trend called “#oscarssowhite”.

For two consecutive years, all the nominees for actor-related awards were white people, and public opinion forced the Academy to make institutional reforms.

In the future, the number of members from other genders and ethnic minorities will increase significantly.

As a benchmark figure of the younger generation of Chinese-language films, Zhou Yutang also received an invitation.

But he had no interest in fitting in with Hollywood.

It is simply unrealistic for a Chinese to become a leader in Hollywood.

It would be better to find a suitable teammate, form a team to make money, and get rich quietly.

However, listening to Bob's endless complaints about racial issues, an idea flashed in his mind: "Bob, maybe we can do a project."

"Walter?"

Old Bob put down his whiskey.

Da Mimi felt that Lao Deng’s eyes suddenly lit up like light bulbs.

It was nothing. Every time Zhou Yutang said this to him, it was like turning on the switch of a money printing machine.

Zhou Yutang put down the wine glass in his hand with a casual smile on his face: "How about making a film project about race relations and adding horror elements?"

"You always have some wild ideas."

Bob was slightly stunned, but after all, he was experienced in the industry. After pondering for a while, he quickly gave feedback: "However, if I remember correctly, Jason has such a project and it has been completed."

"Jason?"

"Yeah, you've seen it."

"Can not remember."

Zhou Yutang shrugged.

Foreigners always think that Asians look the same.

He is a well-known face-blind person and often cannot distinguish the appearance of foreigners.

The name Jason is similar to Dawei and Xiaoming.

Maybe I met Jason at some celebrity cocktail party, so it's normal that I can't remember it clearly.

"Jason from Blumhouse, Judas Guy."

"It's him?"

After Bob said this, Zhou Yutang remembered.

Blumhouse Productions, an independent production company that focuses on producing low-cost horror, thriller, and science fiction drama film and television projects, is also well-known.

In recent years, Jiangdong International Pictures has made great achievements with small investments, produced a series of hits, and its brand has become famous in Hollywood.

But before Zhou Yutang, Jason had already walked this path with the Bloom House.

The "Paranormal Activity" series and the "Insidious" series, which pioneered the successful low-cost horror film in the form of pseudo-documentary, came from the Blumhouse.

The world is so big and there are so many talented people.

Zhou Yutang never underestimates the heroes of the world.

Making a movie is like gambling.

It is not surprising that there are smart people sitting at the gambling table before Zhou Yutang.

"What on earth do you mean?"

After Zhou Yutang hung up the phone with Bob, Da Mimi, who was in a daze, couldn't help but sit on his lap and asked, "Are you going to start a new project? Do you think I'm suitable for it?"

"Look, he's in a hurry."

Zhou Yutang held Yang Mi's slender waist, his eyes like a magnet, attracted by the trembling fruit.

After explaining the reason to Da Mimi, Yang Mimi suddenly realized and asked, "I saw on the news that The Meg seems to be coming to Sanya for filming. Is Nazha's drama about to be finished?"

"Just these few days."

"Why did you suddenly think of investing in that kind of movie?"

Da Mimi really wanted to open Zhou Yutang's brain to see what was inside.

We all have 9 years of compulsory education, so why is he so outstanding?

What had just been said was a completely different world to her and was difficult to digest and understand.

Since Da Mimi was interested in asking, Zhou Yutang was willing to share his knowledge with her: "What is the most important thing when doing a film and television project?"

"make money."

"Snapped!"

Zhou Yutang was annoyed and slapped Da Mimi on her foxy butt.

"Why did you hit me?" Da Mimi looked so aggrieved, I felt sorry for her.

"You're obsessed with money."

"Then... artistic expression?" Yang Mi changed her words.

“It’s not just about pursuing artistic expression.”

Zhou Yutang explained: "Literary creation is to serve the people. The most important tone is to adapt to the times and follow social trends. We should film what the audience wants to see."

"..."

Da Mimi had an expression of confusion and awe on her face.

"For example, if "Red Ling" was released a few years ago, it definitely wouldn't have had such a strong influence." "Yeah." Yang Mi looked at him with admiration.

"In recent years, China's national strength has grown stronger and national sentiment has been high. The quality of the film, coupled with the promotion of mainstream official media and all channels, has led to that unrepeatable achievement."

After a pause, Zhou Yutang continued, "In Amei's version, racial factors are the main theme. Since the trend is like this and there is a large enough audience base, we will shoot the content that those people want to see.

Denounce the social phenomenon of white people discriminating against black people, and say that black lives matter too... It fits the tone of public opinion and resonates with the grassroots people, so they are willing to pay for it..."

If you go with the flow, you will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.

It’s a pity that Judas is smart and got to the table before Zhou Yutang.

"you are great."

Da Mimi really understood now. She hooked her arm around his neck, her peach blossom eyes sparkling, and her sweet, milky voice captivating his soul:

"kiss Me."

……

"The final trailer of "Blade of Assassins 2: Shura Battlefield" has been released, with Zhou Yutang, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Shishi and others starring in the film. It depicts the human heart, Shura hell, the loyalty of the martial arts world, and the swords and horses!"

"Cold War 2" features three movie kings acting together, the identity of the Grand Commander is mysterious, and it's the biggest Chinese police and gangster film in a decade!"

"A famous Korean director brings "The Bounty Hunter" to the summer season with great fanfare, featuring Chinese and Korean male idols, and Tang Yan reaches new heights of beauty!"

"Legend of the Gods" is an epic fantasy masterpiece. Pay homage to the commander on the golden stage and behead the generals to become a god!"

"..."

By the end of June, after the schedules in May and June were completely given over to imported films, Chinese blockbusters are about to be released in large numbers.

Zhou Yutang alone made guest appearances in two movies.

Among them, "Blade Master 2" is scheduled to be released on July st, ahead of the summer vacation, and will directly target the Sino-Korean co-production "The Bounty Hunter".

The competition between the new Academy Award winner Liu Shishi and her bestie Tang Yan is also the focus of media attention.

The situation faced by "Cold War 2" is even more serious.

The three best actor winners will star in blockbusters such as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2", "Big Fish & Begonia", "Rock Mastiff", and "So Young".

Suddenly, the film market was filled with smoke.

The summer season battle has entered a white-hot stage.

It was at this time that Zhou Yutang received an urgent summons from the Twelve Golden Medals and temporarily left the crew, landed in Beijing, and attended an internal briefing of the General Administration.

"The film and television industry must cooperate with the overall situation to advance..."

Zhang Hongsen on the stage had a slightly serious expression: "We must prepare for the worst and make adjustments in advance..."

The atmosphere in the small meeting room was a bit solemn.

Those who are qualified to sit here and attend the meeting are all bigwigs in the film and television industry.

How could I not understand what Director Zhang meant?
The general trend is changing and policies are tightening.

In the future, the authorities will impose restrictions on cultural exchanges between the two countries.

All South Korean artists’ performing activities in China, including film and television works, variety shows, commercial performances, endorsements, etc., will be temporarily questioned.

LeTV's Zhang Zhao's expression changed slightly.

The wind direction changes just like that?

What about "The Bounty Hunter", a movie produced by LeTV?
This is a major Sino-Korean co-production project with an investment of 2 million yuan. The premiere has been held and the film will be released soon.

According to the instructions given by the higher-ups, we need to make adjustments immediately, but isn't that walking into a trap?
The movie can be released, but the publicity may not be strong enough.

Everyone present had different expressions.

Wang Zhongjun must have a keen sense of smell as he was able to start from scratch and lead Huayi to become a leader in the entertainment industry.

When he heard the news from Zhang Hongsen, he couldn't suppress the shock on his face and his brows were unconsciously furrowed.

Before this, cultural exchange and cooperation between the two countries was the general direction, and Huayi also had film and television projects in cooperation with South Korean companies.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Zhongjun leaned back in his chair and glanced around. He easily saw Zhou Yutang.

Sitting among a group of middle-aged men with their polo shirts tucked into their waistbands, Zhou Yutang in a black shirt looked as lonely and elegant as a white crane.

That stern face was now as calm as a lake, without any sign of joy or anger.

The one-hour meeting ended with a buzz of discussion.

Zhou Yutang lowered his head and replied to Da Meiyu's message. His expression changed slightly and his brows frowned helplessly.

He told Da Meiyu about his trip back to Beijing yesterday.

Gao Yuanyuan was visiting Sina today and even specially postponed a business dinner in the evening.

She is going to use her big move...

I took my assistant to carefully purchase the ingredients, and then prepared to cook a super surprise myself in the evening.

For Zhou Yutang, the surprise was greater than the joy.

Wang Zhongjun originally wanted to exchange a few words with Zhou Yutang, but when he saw the big shot from Long Xuan Department pulling Zhou Yutang to talk, he curled his lips and left in a huff.

"Xiao Zhou, you have always done a good job. Just don't be emotional about this matter."

"Please rest assured, leaders, for me, the interests of the motherland are above all else."

Zhou Yutang answered without any hesitation, which made the boss Long Xuan smile gently. He patted him on the shoulder and gave him a few more words of encouragement.

Han Sanping also had an internal meeting with La Peikang and others.

When Zhou Yutang came out, he found that Wang Changtian of Light and Li Dagou of Little Pony were waiting there.

"I just had a chat with Mr. Li."

Wang Changtian spoke first, "Yu Tang, Big Fish and Begonia is about to be released, how about coming to Guangguang and sitting down and giving some advice?"

"Forget it, Mr. Wang, Pei Yun will come over later and has something to tell you."

"Don't worry, the result is still uncertain."

Wang Changtian probably felt that his consolation was a little pale, so he didn't say anything more.

In China, the tone of what is said at the meeting has actually been set long ago.

Even a complete follow-up plan has been prepared.

At this moment, in the eyes of the two, Zhou Yutang's expression seemed a little heavy.

Wang Changtian got into the car first and left. Li Dagou also had his own unique way of comforting Zhou Yutang. He put his arm around Zhou Yutang's shoulders and said, "Don't think about those troubles. We'll have plenty of wine at the Pony Club tonight."

"This meeting will last until very late today, and I have an appointment in the evening."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and chatted with Li Dagou all the way, and advised casually: "Brother Dagou, drinking is harmful to your health, take care of yourself."

A few years ago, Li Dagou got into an accident due to drinking too much and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but he almost died.

It is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature. After raising it for two years, I didn't see any changes, but it seems that it is returning to its old habits.

"Haha, you should be open-minded about policy matters. With your ability, you will definitely not suffer any loss."

Li Dagou put his big hands around Zhou Yutang's shoulders and smiled brilliantly: "If you need any help, just let me know. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."

"It's not a big problem for now."

Zhou Yutang hugged him and talked to him for a few more words before getting on the back seat of the Maybach S600 armored sedan.

"You are so loyal."

Ni Ni looked at Li Dagou who was standing there and couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone in the circle knows that Li Dagou attaches great importance to brotherhood and will do his utmost to help his friends in need.

If this happened in ancient times, Zuoyou would be a chivalrous man. It was rare for Zhou Yutang to have such a friend.

"Has Pei Yun arrived yet?"

"It will take about another 45 minutes to get to Beijing International Airport."

Ni Ni glanced at the time on her lady's watch: "The driver is already waiting at the airport... Nazha should be joining the crew."

……

"Welcome Naza to join the team!"

"Welcome Teacher Nazha to join the group!"

Guli Nazha, who had just finished filming the last shot of "The Meg", flew directly from Sanya to join the crew of "In the Snow".

The crew in the snow, led by director Li Muge, showed a very high level of welcome.

Another top-tier actress who works for love without any pay, what else does she need?

In addition to expressing their admiration for their boss's reputation, many people in the crew also expressed their highest respect for Nazha's beauty with amazement.

There are so many beauties in the Snow crew.

Liu Yan's Yu Youwei, Meng Ziyi's Hongshu, Ding Xiaoying's Qingniao, and even Zhang Yishang, who plays Shu Xiu, are all rare beauties.

But after all, the popularity is not that good.

When it comes to the list of the most beautiful female celebrities in the entertainment industry, Liu Yifei, Fan Binbin and Guli Nazha are always on the list.

When Liu Yifei and Teacher Fan first joined the crew, they were watched by many people. Now Nazha has also caused a small sensation in the crew.

"I originally thought that Liu Tianxian and Teacher Fan were already invincible, but I didn't expect Nazha to be so beautiful too."

"Oh my god, how can someone be so beautiful?"

"Naza looks even better in person than on camera."

"As long as your face is there, your country is there!"

It's break time now, and the crew members are taking out their cell phones.

Those who want to take photos take photos, those who want to take group photos take group photos, just do whatever you need to do.

Director Li Muge couldn't stop smiling.

Some people say that he is Zhou Yutang's puppet.

He didn't care about it at all and even wanted to laugh.

What's wrong with being a puppet?
With this cast, any shot will be picturesque.

Any screenshot can be used as wallpaper.

You don't understand the fun of operating an aircraft carrier.

"Naza, you've just joined the group and I'm already asking you to spend money."

"As you should. The weather is hot, everyone should drink something cold to cool down."

When Nazha joined the crew, she asked the assistant team to prepare iced milk tea and iced drinks.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and people exclaimed that timely rain had arrived in the northern border.

He greeted the director team and several senior teachers one by one, and was very polite and considerate.

Seeing Wu Yuze quietly wiping his sweat, Li Mugeqi asked, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, it's just too hot."

Wu Yuze showed a harmless smile and watched Nazha go to find Liu Yifei with a worried look on his face.

When three generations of beauties, Liu Yifei, Fan Binbin, and Guli Nazha, meet, they all have unclear relationships with their boss.

Will there be a fight at this time?
"Wow, what a beautiful cat!"

Halfway through the walk, Nazha paused. When she saw the cat in Liu Yan's arms, her beautiful eyes lit up and her heart was melted by the cuteness.

The plump and chubby cat with a body as white as snow tilted its head and looked at the sudden human with curiosity.

Girls have no resistance to this kind of cute things, and Nazha is no exception.

She had originally thought that she must not lose face and had to prove her status in front of the fairy, but when she saw the white cat, she completely forgot her mission. Nazha's voice was filled with anticipation.

"Sister, can I hug it?"

“This is Yifei’s.”

Liu Yan looked at Liu Yifei inquiringly.

This is Yu Youwei’s beloved pet in the original novel “Xue Zhong”. It was carefully selected from the army of cats in Liu Tianxian’s home. It is so adorable.

"of course can."

Liu Yifei nodded calmly.

The meeting between the two handsome men was nothing special.
