China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 84: Cafe layout! [Recommendation ticket plus update]

"Hello, Uncle Zhang."

Not surprisingly, Zhou Yutang received a Daoxi call from Zhang Guoli.

"It's amazing, Xiaotang. Last night's ratings have already broken 10. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the record of "Golden Wedding" is broken."

Zhang Guoli said with a smile, his words were very polite.

"No, with Uncle Zhang's "Golden Wedding" as a foundation, I was lucky enough to barely have this ratings. Uncle Zhang is amazing, and next year Shidi will definitely be stable."

Zhou Yutang is also very modest.

This year's TV drama rating record is currently still held by "Golden Wedding", which is also a marriage-themed TV drama strongly supported by the above.

"Golden Wedding" focuses on the age, while "Let's Get Married" focuses on the city. Although it is more popular with young audiences, the theme is not as profound as "Golden Wedding".

"You boy, still be polite to me."

Zhang Guoli was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "When will you come to eat at home? After not coming for so long, your Aunt Deng misses you a little bit."

Since the relationship was established last year, Zhang Guoli has attached great importance to Zhou Yutang, and Zhou Yutang has always intentionally maintained his contacts here.

During Chinese New Year last year, another seafood gift box was packed and air-delivered to Zhang Guoli's home. After the year, he also went to Zhang's house for a few light meals. Zhang Guoli's wife was very close to him.

"Next time, I'll bother Aunt Deng. There are a lot of things going on in the studio recently."

"What are you busy with? Is there a new project in hand?"

Zhang Guoli immediately became interested.

No one knows Zhou Yutang's ability better than him.

There is no doubt about this young man's talent in film and television. So far, no money has been lost in the projects he has worked on.

Not only did they not lose money, but they also made big profits.

The investors in the TV series "Want to See You" have earned millions, not to mention "Let's Get Married". Zhang Guoli is also a figure in the industry. At least eight figures, it can be said that he has made a lot of money.

This kind of baby pimple that will burst into gold coins must be held in the palm of your hand.

The assistants around Zhang Guoli felt that he was closer to Zhou Yutang than to his own son, so they made phone calls from time to time to ask about his health and make contact with each other.

"It's a small-budget TV drama project. I want the people in the studio to practice their skills. If Uncle Zhang is interested, we can work together."

Zhou Yutang said calmly.

Doing projects in this circle, eating alone is a taboo.

What he fancy is Zhang Guoli's signboard. With him in front, he can save a lot of trouble.

"No problem, you can contact Li Hao when the time comes."

Zhang Guoli didn't even ask any more questions, and agreed immediately.

Then we chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.

Zhou Yutang and Li Shuang continued their meeting in the conference room of the new studio they just moved.

After the filming ended, Zhou Yutang bought a house, and now the renovation is almost complete.

After "Let's Get Married" exploded, the studio was expected to earn eight figures, so he moved the Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio, which was originally located in the community near the school, into the office building.

Not what it used to be.

When he first debuted, Zhou Yutang ate enough for himself and the whole family was not hungry.

Now that it has started, the studio has received many invitations from crews and activities every day, relying on Sister Shuang and her little assistant, it is estimated that they will be exhausted to death.

Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio has produced two high-quality blockbuster dramas in a row, and it seems to have caught up with CCTV and Hunan Satellite TV. Now it is quite famous in the industry.

Zhang Songwen has officially signed a contract with the studio as a performance director.

After Zhou Yutang's in-depth discussion with Tang Ren Cai Yinong, and with his own wishes, Lin Yufen and Song Xiaotao will join the Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio after the end of the contract. Together with Wen Muye and Lin Liang, the team of the studio has initially formed.

In addition, Zhou Yutang also revealed that there were many people who came to submit their resumes. After interviews, a few hard-working and down-to-earth employees were selected from them. Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio finally expanded to a team of 10 people.

Among them was Wang Qiang, Zhou Yutang's driver and bodyguard.

Brother Qiang is a veteran introduced by Sister Shuang using her family relationship. It is said that he is a fierce man who served in a mysterious army, and even served as a guard for a certain leader for a while.

I am just 35 years old this year, and I am in the prime of life. I have a wife and children in my hometown, a harmonious family life, and the most important thing is that I have a reliable and stable character.

Today's Li Shuang is not only Zhou Yutang's agent, but also the general manager of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio, responsible for handling the daily affairs of the studio. Zhou Yutang, Zeng Li, Zhu Yilong, and Zhang Ruojun are basically responsible for the docking. .

And the diligent and capable little secretary who followed her has now been promoted to a higher level, and has the title of secretary to the general manager.

This little girl has been with Zhou Yutang since the beginning, she is also honest, and she can complete all the jobs she has given her, whether it is customer service or running errands, she can do all the work very well, and now her salary is more than a few hundred yuan at the beginning
This year, the studio has removed the pioneering work "Want to Meet You", and "Let's Get Married" has already started broadcasting, and there are two remaining projects.

"Sword and Sword III" starring Zhou Yutang is expected to start broadcasting at the end of the year.

Of course, the most important thing is the film project "Those Years", this film will be the key to whether Zhou Yutang can go further in the upper circle.

The coffee circle in the film industry is bigger than the TV circle.

If the movie performs well, Zhou Yutang's coffee status will directly rise from the spot.

In the final analysis, the entertainment industry still depends on the works and achievements.

It’s not that you can promote someone into a superstar by posting wildly in the media. Even if you don’t have good morals and no works, you can’t stand in that position, and you will soon be corrupted by vanity. , but in the end it was just a flash in the pan.

I had a meeting with Li Shuang in the conference room of the new studio, mainly to discuss the future development of Zhou Yutang and Jiangdong Studio.

"Yu Tang, you are very popular recently, and you have a few business endorsements, take a look."

Li Shuang handed the compiled materials to Zhou Yutang.

He has not received any endorsement so far, and the price is quite high.

At present, the big star endorsement fee in Xiangjiang starts at 200 million a year, and the endorsement price for first-line stars in the mainland starts at about 100. There are a few brands that give Zhou Yutang an endorsement price of 60 a year, but it takes four or five to sign a contract. Year.

"It's not cost-effective, let's push it first, and wait for a while."

Zhou Yutang found several other quotations and rubbed his forehead: "Sister Shuang, what's the matter with the endorsement of health care products and financial products?"

"The asking price is high."

Li Shuang said: "I checked, they are all regular companies, there should be no problem, many celebrities have accepted them."

The price is very high, and it has been opened to 120 million a year, and it can be negotiated again.

"This kind of endorsement has been pushed, and there will be similar endorsements in the future, and they will be rejected."

Without even thinking about it, Zhou Yutang put aside the offer and asked Sister Shuang to refuse it.

He really wants to improve and make money, but that doesn't mean he has no bottom line.

As far as the endorsement of these health care products and financial products is concerned, it is said that they are legitimate companies, but in fact, 10 out of 10 are scams, and they treat the disadvantaged groups among ordinary people as leeks.

After the discussion, the endorsement matter was temporarily put on hold.

When "Sword and Sword III" and "Those Years" start broadcasting, Zhou Yutang's popularity will soar again, and the asking price will be more than that.

"Let's let go of the endorsement part first."

According to Li Shuang's idea, Zhou Yutang was asked to accept short-term business endorsements first, but he insisted on this, and Sister Shuang had no choice but to carry it out: "Next, let's talk about your salary."

In the circle, remuneration is closely related to coffee position.

Zhou Yutang’s remuneration in "Sword and Sword III" is the same as Hu Ge's 5 per episode, and this money has been converted into investment.

Yang Mi's salary is 3 yuan, while Liu Shishi's salary is only 2 yuan.

of course.

TV drama remuneration is not calculated according to the number of episodes. Each episode is counted as one episode if there are more than a few appearances.

But the salary per episode can also explain the coffee position to a certain extent.

The current Zhou Yutang is unique among the newcomers who debuted at the same level, but in the whole circle, he is probably equivalent to a second-tier star.

This is temporary.

"Want to See You" starring Zhou Yutang has become an annual hit. Recently, the new song has become popular, the popularity remains high, and the reputation is very good, so there is the current price. If there is no work in the future or the response of the work is not good, it will not be continued. Popularity, then the price is likely to drop, and the salary will drop to [-] to [-] episodes.

This circle is so realistic.

Many newcomers rise like comets, but their successors are weak. Without excellent works, they fall directly into the dust.

As for big stars with precipitation and qualifications, even if they don't have excellent works within a year or two, the salary quotation will still not change too much.

Their name is the signature.

This is what it means to be a big shot.

Zhou Yutang lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and said in a leisurely manner: "Sister Shuang, for future film appointments, let me have a look at the script first. I think the script is okay before we talk about the salary. Sister Li's is the same."

"Brother Long and Ruojun, there will be a new drama soon, and they will be the protagonists."

"Ok."

Li Shuang nodded helplessly.

Zhou Yutang is really a maverick in the circle.

Many stars in the circle take on any drama they have, regardless of the quality of the script, as long as the money is in place, they will do it.

Take a few more scripts, maybe which one will become popular, and all kinds of dramas throughout the year are all routine operations.

Zhou Yutang has high requirements for scripts, and he doesn't take outside plays easily, and mainly writes scripts by himself.

Of course, this is not to say that all dramas in the entertainment industry are rubbish.

In this circle, there are many good scriptwriters and scripts, as well as good characters.

But there are more smart people in the circle, you know it's a good book, don't people know?
So in the end, it still depends on the relationship between people, everyone depends on their own abilities.

Zhou Yutang didn't care about that either.

He has the ability to organize himself.

Moreover, it has gradually become a hot new star in the industry.

The TV series "Let's Get Married" invested by the studio, as a screenwriter + investor, successfully broadcast on Mango TV and CCTV at the same time. After the ratings have exploded, there are already film and television companies with coal bosses who have come to buy scripts , the basic price of a single episode is 5, and there is an additional bonus share depending on the ratings.

Capital is chasing profit, and Zhou Yutang has the ability to produce hit dramas recognized by the market, and they came here like sharks smelling blood.

This price is basically the highest salary for quasi-first-line screenwriters in China.

and so.

Zhou Yutang's positioning of herself is not just a simple star.

His ambitions don't stop there.
