China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 103 Layout Industry, Screenwriting Department, Uproar
"it is true."

Wang Fengqin knew her son very well, knowing that he would not joke about this kind of issue.

Zhou Zhengping over there couldn't calm down after all, took the phone from Ms. Wang Fengqin, and asked, "Xiaotang, what's going on? How did you earn so much money?"

Zhou Yutang's parents had no idea about the entertainment industry. They thought it would be great for Zhou Yutang to get into the entertainment industry and earn 500 million yuan a year.

It is also said on the Internet that big stars only get a salary of 200 to 8 million for a movie. I heard my son admit that his net worth is [-] figures.

Both Zhou Zhengping and Wang Fengqin were stunned.

That's tens of millions. Ordinary people can't earn it in their entire lives when they go to work.

Zhou Zhengping's first reaction was a sinking heart.

He was worried that Zhou Yutang made the money by some methods that touched the law.

Zhou Yutang also felt the old father's worry, and explained: "Dad, Mom, have you watched the TV series "Let's Get Married" that was still broadcast on Suzhou TV Station not long ago?"

The first round of this show was jointly broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV and CCTV, and the second round was won by Shanghai and Suzhou.

"It's still on TV now."

Zhou Zhengping glanced at the TV in the living room, which was replaying the TV series.

"I wrote this script, and then a brother from the Film Academy took a fancy to it. He wanted to make it into a TV series, so I invested some money. I didn't expect it to be bought by CCTV and Hunan Satellite TV, and I made a lot of money. .”

"This movie was released at the beginning of the year. I was so busy that I didn't even go home. I ran for nearly a month to promote it. In the end, the box office of the movie was okay. I invested part of it, which was a small profit.
Then add in my own miscellaneous income such as manuscript fees and film remuneration, and I have earned almost eight figures, but it is not as exaggerated as it is said on the Internet. "

Zhou Yutang hid a little bit.

Prepare to reveal it to your family slowly.

Otherwise, if you tell the truth all at once, I'm really afraid that Ms. Wang and Comrade Zhou will not be able to sleep at night.

There are indeed many talented people in Tianya these days, but that person can only calculate a part of it. The investment contracts are all kept secret, and there is no way to count how much money Zhou Yutang has earned from his personal business performances.

Zhou Yutang's real net worth is at least 6000 million yuan, which is only a lot more than the number revealed.

"If you make money, you must not be ambiguous in paying taxes."

It took Zhou Zhengping a while to digest the result, and he spoke with difficulty.

"Dad, don't worry, my studio has a professional accountant to take care of it, and the taxes that should be paid are not less than a penny."

Zhou Yutang laughed softly: "It won't be long before, maybe I can still receive the silk banner from my hometown government."

"What pennant, what's going on here?"

"It's like this. During the Chinese New Year, my studio negotiated with the local education department in Yancheng and donated 100 million yuan, which is mainly used for school building renewal and book purchase in backward areas, as well as daily necessities and school miscellaneous items for students from poor families. Expenses. When the time comes, Dad, please help me look into it."

"Good, good, good! Well done!"

Zhou Zhengping just heard that Zhou Yutang's net worth was tens of millions, and he was not so excited. After finally calming down, his mood was turbulent again.

Suzhou Province is an economically strong province, but there are still very difficult places below.

Zhou Zhengping felt very relieved that Zhou Yutang could not forget his hometown after making money.

While chatting, Lao Zhou began to make old mistakes and started the education mode: "Xiaotang, it is not easy for you to do things now, remember to think twice before doing anything, sometimes take a small step back and take a few big steps A little loss, just know what’s in your heart.”

Zhou Yutang agreed for a while, then asked his mother a few more words, and finally hung up the phone.

For the online store, Zhou Yutang hired professionals who specialize in e-commerce operations to help with the operation.

Last year, hundreds of thousands were invested in the early stage, but profits were soon realized. Last year, the net profit was more than 180 million.

Because the patterns of the clothes are all designed by myself, and the scale was small last year, Zhou Yutang plans to ask Wang Fengqin to rent a factory building of about 200 square meters as a pattern-making base.

Then find a reliable garment processing factory to process the clothes designed by the designer you invited.

As the scale expands, the number of workers will also increase, so Wang Fengqin has to hire a few more honest and dutiful female college students to help with the work.

Zhou Yutang understands his parents, instead of giving them money directly, it is better to make arrangements so that they can enjoy their lives.

In his expectation, if this model continues to develop, his parents' quality of life should be much improved compared to before.

Only when you have no worries can you make better progress.

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

During the next period of time, Zhou Yutang mainly focused on the preliminary preparations for the crew of "Latent".

In addition, they are busy interviewing new screenwriters and setting up the studio's screenwriting department.

The current Zhou Yutang is no longer the Beidian Xiaozhou who was born anonymously and devoted himself to coding.

Preparations for TV dramas, commercial performances, fashion magazine shoots, and spending time with Da Meiyuan who just came back from a trip to exchange art, even chatting with several girls at night
really busy.

Most of the meals that could be pushed were pushed.

Some dinners should go or have to go.

Others can say that if Zhang Guoli treats him to dinner, then he has to give face.

Xu Jinglei promoted herself not long ago, and it is not easy to shirk the appointment this time.

Sister Yu came back and asked him to talk about the script, so she had to go too.
When "Those Years" was released, Sister Yu was still filming, she left the crew and went to the cinema to watch the movie alone, and even sent a congratulatory message to Zhou Yutang, which was very interesting.

During this period of time, she often communicated with Zhou Yutang about the plot, and when the filming progress encountered problems, she made an appointment to go back to the capital in April to talk to him.

Zhou Yutang feels that his time management has been done well, but it is still not enough.

I have to let go of script writing for now.

Zhou Yutang is not short of inspiration and creativity.

The most important thing is how to enrich these ideas and the outline of the story into a complete story that can impress people. This stage can only be honed by time, and the details are piled up one by one.

It is imminent to set up a screenwriting department. First, recruit a few new screenwriters with training value. I will control the general direction of the work by myself, and hand over the specific details of the story script to the screenwriting team in the studio. Finally, I will decide the final quality of the work by myself.

Most well-known screenwriters in the industry cannot develop without two paths.

The first way is to cooperate with first-line directors by yourself. As long as there are excellent works, fame and money are not a problem, and then lead apprentices. However, taking apprentices also depends on the qualifications and understanding of apprentices. Teachers usually keep a hand.

The second way is to be your own boss, which is the studio model that Zhou Yutang is currently following.

The two roads lead to the same goal.

The key is to find and recruit some new screenwriters who are hard-working, obedient and capable.

These rookie screenwriters have a very low status when they first enter the industry, and they don't even need to give any signature when the work is completed. Many new screenwriters also acquiesce to this industry rule for the sake of experience.

Basic wages are paid on shifts, and commissions and bonuses are paid when the project is completed.

There may not be much profit in the short term, but in the long run, it is the key to Jiangdong Film and Television Culture's desire to become bigger and stronger.

The higher the overall level of the screenwriters in the studio, the better they will be able to produce high-quality scripts in the future, and the larger the project size, the better the development of the studio will naturally be.

It can also cultivate more newcomers, which will have a positive impact on the film and television environment of the entire entertainment circle.

The production of high-quality film and television dramas is tantamount to raising the audience's aesthetic standards in disguise.

In the future, the audience will also say that Jiangdong Film and Television Culture shoots all high-quality dramas, and what kind of company you are riding a horse will make some bad dramas to fool the audience.

Do you still have a conscience?

What should I do then?

roll!
The film and television companies of internal entertainment are all embarrassing for me. If they can't produce high-quality content, they will be gradually eliminated by the market.

Of course, this is only Zhou Yutang's ideal situation, and how to implement it step by step.

There is really no shortage of good actors in China.

What is missing are screenwriters who adapt good stories into scripts, and directors who shoot excellent scripts.

As long as the golden key of "high-quality content" is grasped, then Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong film and television culture can completely surpass the dust in this circle.

In the early stage, the news that Jiangdong Film and Television Culture was recruiting screenwriters really attracted many people to submit their resumes.

Mainly because of Zhou Yutang's golden name.

Although Zhou Yutang's debut time is short, the works he produced are very important.

His debut "Want to See You" became a big hit, making him one of the most popular idols in domestic entertainment.

Then came "Let's Get Married", which set off a frenzy of marriage and love dramas. This year, several marriage and love TV dramas appeared on the market at once.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" was selected as the Four Beauties of the End of the World, recognized as the ancient male god, and then "Those Years" became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in three places, and the popularity soared in place.

Li Shuang was very capable at work, and selected a few people from hundreds of resumes and sent them to Zhou Yutang's mailbox.

Two of them are sisters from the Literature Department of the Film Academy, and one is a screenwriter.

There is a sister from the literature department named Zhu Lingyu, who has excellent writing skills. She published works under the banyan tree a few years ago, which was recommended by Teacher Yao.

The other is a resume submitted by myself.

She is also a senior sister from the Film Academy, her name is Bao Jingjing, which caught Zhou Yutang's eyes.

This sister had published her own novel on the Internet. Zhou Yutang read it briefly and rated it very highly.

The writing style is quite good, with delicate emotions, and it is estimated that it is a good hand at writing youthful emotional types.

There is also a screenwriter named Pingping.

It can be seen that the talent is good. He has won the second prize of the National New Concept Composition Competition twice, and has also been Guo Xiaosi's shooter. The advantage is that he has a lot of brains.

At this time, Guo Xiaosi was already well-known in the cultural circle, and he set up his own studio to make a magazine. Even Chen Dapoet strongly invited him to adapt the movie "The Promise" into a novel.

They are all talents, so Li Shuang arranged an interview.

It is also the Four Seasons Hall of the Academy of Film.

The most important thing is that it is close to the school and Zhou Yutang's studio.

The first one to arrive was the flat floor. His real name was Meng Haoran. He was a fat man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he looked cheerful and happy.

After the simple exchange of greetings, Zhou Yutang asked curiously: "You are from the Xiaosi studio, and you should be considered a veteran. Why do you want to come to my side?"

"I have been a gunman for that person for several years. I don't have any treatment, not even a signed work. I talked to him last year about adding a bonus. He told me to calm down and not just focus on immediate interests. I just said A bucket run away."

"."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched, and he choked up.

Very good and strong, and for very good reason.

We continued to chat for a while and got to know each other better.

This level can be used as a gun for Guo Xiaosi. He has solid writing skills and a lot of brains. After negotiating the remuneration conditions, it was finalized. This is the first employee of the screenwriting department of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio.

Next are the two senior sisters from the Film Academy.

They were all from our own family, and the two sides hit it off immediately and settled the deal very quickly.

Bao Jingjing is even a fan of him, and she is still studying at the film academy, and she came here because of Zhou Yutang.

Faced with the group photo requests put forward by senior sister Bao Jingjing, Zhou Yutang also satisfied them one by one.

These are the studio’s future hard-working old scalpers and must be treated with gentleness.

Currently, a team of three people is tentatively decided, which is enough for the current scale of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio.

Zhou Yutang sent out the first task that day, which was the second and third seasons of "Across the Window Together".

The basic story outline and character settings have been prepared, and then the outline is given, so that the three new screenwriters of the studio can try to complete the whole story.

early April.

The news that Jiangdong Studio was about to start a new project caused an uproar.

But when they heard that it was a spy war drama, many people were surprised.

Didn't Zhou Yutang start out making youth genre films? How did he start a TV series with the main theme?
However, within a few days, the book "Latent" aroused the interest of big names in the circle.

Sun Honglei, who just took Magnolia as the emperor last year, participated in Poet Chen's movie "Mei Lanfang", learned about the script of "Latent" from a friend, and found Zhou Yutang's side through a lot of connections.

He wanted to play the lead actor Yu Zecheng, and offered to cut his salary in half, which was quite sincere.

Sun Honglei is currently regarded as a first-line actor in China, and the ruthless Liu Huaqiang in "Conquer" is also regarded as a classic image on the screen, and now he is probably seeking transformation.

Zhou Yutang was very moved by Sun Honglei's request, and finally declined.

Although Sun Honglei has a bigger position, Zhang Songwen is not bad. Zhou Yutang promised him before that he must not break his promise in doing things.

As for Sun Honglei, I can only say sorry, and there may be opportunities to cooperate in the future.

After this turmoil, on the contrary, the drama "Latent" has become famous in the circle before filming started.

Zhou Yutang, a gold-medal screenwriter who has never failed in the industry, is the latest production. Even Magnolia Shidi will act regardless of the salary.

Zhou Yutang received a lot of phone calls and was too disturbed, and finally left the casting work to Senior Brother Lin Liang.

Soon, the preliminary preparations for the crew were completed, and several main actors were confirmed.

Zhang Songwen played the male lead Yu Zecheng, Zeng Li's female lead Wang Cuiping, and Zu Feng's teacher Li Ya.

This is the candidate who was appointed as soon as the project was established.

National first-class actor Feng Enhe plays Wu Jingzhong, the station master, and veteran actor Wu Gang plays Lu Qiaoshan.

There are not many supporting roles left to be decided through auditions.

The global press conference of "The King of Kung Fu" was held in Beijing.

This super big production does not need hype at all, it is born with enthusiasm.

Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie + eldest brother Jackie Chan + Tianxian Liu Yifei + Li Lianhua are such a top lineup that they are simply invincible.

However, Huayi was playing marketing, and slowly released the appearance of the main actors.

Zhou Yutang didn't go to the press conference, but Miss Liu reminded him to treat him to dinner last night, and now he came across the news on the portal website on a whim and watched the live broadcast on the computer in the studio.

Big brother Jackie Chan and kung fu emperor Li Lianjie embraced for 15 years, instantly attracting countless people's attention.

When some unscrupulous media asked who is the king of Kung Fu, the two masters responded quickly, and they all pushed Yuan Baye.

Liu Yifei was wearing a white dress, looking a bit like a fairy. Even Li Lianhua, the first sister of Huayi, almost became a foil.

When Jackie Chan was interviewed, he praised without hesitation: "Liu Yifei is beautiful and speaks English well. The most important advantage is that she is young and very professional."

Zhou Yutang couldn't help laughing.

To translate, Liu Tianxian wants to have good looks, and he wants to have good looks in acting.

Well, in addition to good looks, you can also add attitude. Zhou Yutang personally confirmed that Ms. Liu really worked hard for this drama.

Li Lianjie also gave a very high evaluation: "Liu Yifei will definitely be another star who can become popular in Hollywood after Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.

Immediately afterwards, director Rob Minkoff also gave affirmation.

All kinds of rainbow farts.

When it was Liu Yifei's turn, the troublesome media directly asked, "At the beginning of this year, your rumored boyfriend Zhou Yutang's movie grossed nearly 2.6 million in Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan. How do you feel?"

"we are very good friends."

Liu Tianxian rolled her cute eyes in a subtle way.

Zhou Yutang was also shot while lying down. Right after the press conference, he received a call from the girl Shu Chang:
"Yu Tang, please have a big meal, Sissy said she will come over later."

"The press conference is over, she won't attend the reception at Huayi's side?"

"Cissy can't say anymore, I'm waiting for your big meal."

"."

Zhou Yutang explained his work helplessly, and chose a Korean restaurant where the two girls had been planting grass for a long time.

First, I called to book a private room and set off in the car.

He said he was waiting for a big meal, which was actually a joke among friends since he hadn't seen Zhou Yutang for a long time.

Liu Yifei is a top-notch new-generation actress in domestic entertainment, with a super ability to attract money. Even Shu Chong is a little rich woman who has acted in many dramas in her early years and has quite a lot of savings. How could she miss a meal.

"Okay, Boss Zhou, who is worth tens of millions, has changed his car. No, didn't the news say that you bought a Land Rover?"

At the entrance of the restaurant, as soon as they met each other, Shu Chang came up to say hello with a smile.

Ever since we met at Tianxian's house, we have chatted a lot in private. After you get acquainted with Miss Shu Chang, you will find that she is quite a straightforward girl with no intentions.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yutang can chat with him.

"Not worth mentioning."

Zhou Yutang said modestly: "Land Rover's parking garage is closed, and the capital has to limit the number of cars. I bought a big G two days ago."

After I bought a Land Rover, I thought about it later and thought that the big G was also good.

Zhou Yutang chose to have them all.
