Chapter 562: The Money-Making Queen, the Male God Who Topped Asia

The four great classics in the entertainment industry are just for fun.

Zhou Yutang didn't care much.

Speaking of Xie Tingfeng, Ni Ni suddenly said: "Since the princess divorced, Xie Tingfeng seems to have become more cheerful and lively."

"Really?"

"It seems to be true."

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Then they started gossiping, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and their eyes lit up.

Two days ago, Xie Tingfeng met the princess at the Paris Fashion Week, and his eyes never left this mature big sister who had just returned to being single.

He was at a loss, and smiled like a young boy who had just fallen in love.

Zhou Yutang couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that the little chef in Hong Kong is having wild thoughts?"

"Now You See Me 2" basically continues the starring lineup of the first part, including Jay Chou's joining, which was also decided in advance, and no audition information was disclosed to the public.

On the contrary, Wen Muye's "The Accidental Detective" has many important roles besides Zhang Songwen and Gong Li.

Among them, the male protagonist's wife and two daughters are important supporting roles.

This is a script written by Zhou Yutang, with Berlin Film Emperor Zhang Songwen and Gong Huang, and a top-notch cast with an investment of 100 million yuan. Even if it is a supporting role, it is still a god-like resource.

"Sister Jinglei, Gengxi's age is not suitable."

"Sister Wenli, do you want Xiaochun to come and try?"

"What, Sister Hua, Zijian also has an idea?"

The gods in the circle are well-informed, just like sharks smelling blood.

Phone calls and dinner invitations poured in, making Zhou Yutang a little overwhelmed.

They all want to build relationships and use backdoors.

Even Cai Yinong wants to squeeze Xiao Caiqi, who has just signed Tangren, into the crew. It's really unbelievable.

He simply pushed the whole thing to Wen Muye and left himself free.

The preparatory work for the two movies was proceeding in an orderly manner.

After several screenings, there was a fierce struggle during the period, and several TV series stocks of Jiangdong Entertainment were also divided up by various TV stations.

When a TV station accepts a drama, it mainly looks at the qualifications of the producer, and then the cast. By watching the film in advance, it can grasp the overall quality of the drama and estimate the profit margin.

Generally, the producer has to use out-of-the-box tactics to do public relations, after all, the TV station that controls the broadcasting channel is the boss.

But Jiangdong Entertainment is the target of public relations.

"The Best of Us" was released to Sutai for 72 million yuan in the first round of exclusive broadcast.

This drama has only 24 episodes in total, and the price of each episode exceeds 3 million yuan. Ordinary campus youth dramas can never sell at this price.

But this is a drama produced by Jiangdong.

The campus trilogy of August Changan is now also a hot IP.

In addition, the cast is Zhao Liying and Zhu Yilong, all of whom are popular young actors and actresses.

If you don't give a high price, some TV stations that want to boost ratings will give it.

Another drama "Love O2O" was finally won by Shanghai and Mango TV.

The first round of 30 episodes was sold for 125 million yuan, and the price per episode was even higher than "The Best of Us".

It is mainly adapted from Gu Man's work, directed by Lin Yufen, and starring Chen Xiao and Guli Nazha.

Chen Xiao is one of the most popular young actors at the moment, and has basically booked a seat in the next four young actors in the entertainment industry.

Guli Nazha is among the newly announced starring cast of "Now You See Me 2". With all the resources she has received, she is also a popular star waiting to be released in the 90s.

In addition, the novel theme of the youth idol drama combined with online games, after comprehensive discussion by the two film purchasing departments, gave it a very high score, so they generously donated money.

Zhou Yutang made a small profit in the first round alone, and the subsequent profits will definitely make a lot of money.

Of course.

The highlight of the film viewing meeting is still the game adaptation production "Gu Jian Qi Tan" with an S-level initial positioning.

This drama has the most TV stations participating in the bidding, and they all want to get a piece of the pie. In the end, Mango TV and Jiangsu TV won the last laugh.

The strong financial resources of the three major TV stations are difficult for other TV stations to match.

They all have ace variety shows in hand, and the advertising investment starts at 10 billion a year. We can only envy them.

The exclusive first-round broadcast rights of "Gu Jian" were sold for 192 million, and the sky-high price of 4 million per episode is expected to win the throne of the drama king this year, which is quite exaggerated.

Zhou Yutang looked at the summary report of the film viewing meeting submitted by Jiang Xueluan, and couldn't help but sigh: "Mango TV has been bleeding a lot recently."

At the beginning of the year, so much money was spent at one time. It is estimated that most of the budget for purchasing dramas this year has been spent, and this does not include some hidden resource replacements.

"There is nothing we can do about it."

Having won a beautiful victory, Jiang Xueluan was in a good mood and smiled: "Mango TV suppressed the new "Tianlong Babu", the big drama at the beginning of the year, but it was sniped by "In the Name of the People" and "Reply 1988", and was directly cut in half."

"It's a bit unlucky."

At this point, Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.

Generally speaking, TV dramas that can be broadcast in the prime time at the beginning of the year are usually evaluated internally by the TV station as a guarantee of ratings.

However, Mango TV's new Tianlong was not broadcast to the end because of the terrible ratings. It only aired until Duan Yu participated in the Zhenlong chess game.

As the producer, Cehua has been fighting with Mango TV recently, and some of the final payments for the TV series may not be recovered.

Mango TV adhered to the principle of joining if you can't beat them, so it gritted its teeth and bought the first round of broadcasting rights for "Gu Jian Qi Tan", preparing to put it on the Diamond Theater to help it regain the throne of the domestic TV ratings king.

"Mango TV has plenty of money, so it's reasonable to pay a little."

Zhou Yutang was quite satisfied with the price, but his attention was on an internal message Zhou Ningfeng had just told him last night: "In the future, there will be no more four-star broadcast."

"Has it been decided?"

"The General Administration officially passed the internal meeting on TV broadcast management a few days ago, and will soon implement the one-series-two-star broadcast model."

The so-called one-series-two-star means that a TV series can only be broadcast on two satellite channels at the same time, and the number of TV series broadcasted in the prime time every night is limited to 2 episodes.

Before this, several of Jiangdong's S-level productions were four-star broadcasts, which also made him eat oil from both sides.

After the introduction of this policy, the four-star broadcast will become history, which will undoubtedly have a significant impact on TV stations.

The editing and broadcasting, advertising placement, and TV series purchasing strategies of the TV stations in the evening time must all be adjusted.

But for Zhou Yutang, there is an impact, but it is not a big impact.

As long as he has high-quality film and television resources, he can still make a living.

The film viewing meeting came to an end. Except for "Gu Jian Qi Tan" which was scheduled to be broadcast in the summer, the broadcast time of the other TV series will be discussed again.

"The Lost Tomb" in late March has gradually come to an end, but there are good news in the variety show field.

"The average ratings of the first few episodes of "Happy Comedian" were 2.69%, and the second episode broke 3, and the trend is very stable."

Zhou Yutang glanced at Zhang Yibei's report. This program was signed by Mingjie and Shanghai TV last year.

Mingjie is now the industry's weathervane, and many TV stations are watching it.

I don't know how the news leaked out. After other TV stations got the news, they immediately started to follow suit and make their own comedy variety shows.

Such as Hubei Satellite TV's "I'm Crazy for Comedy", Blue Channel's "China Comedy Star", and Gan Province Satellite TV's "Who Can Make Comedy Stars Laugh".

All TV stations participated in the battle strongly, and it was thought that it would be a situation of heroes competing for supremacy, but in the end they all became cannon fodder.

Mingjie's position as the leader of domestic variety shows cannot be shaken.

The format of "Happy Comedian" is very novel. A total of ten comedy teams are invited to participate. The first season is set to have twelve rounds of competition.

Shen Teng, Yue Yunpeng, Da Pan Jiajia, Wang Ning Ailun, Jia Lin

The purpose of the program is also very simple. Whether it is a successful comedian or a grassroots comedian, the ultimate goal is only one, that is, to make the audience laugh.

The 500 audience judges voted on the scene, and one comedy star was eliminated every two rounds, and a comedy star was replaced.

After the elimination round, they entered the finals, and finally the champion, runner-up and third place were selected.

Liu Shishi likes it very much. These days, she has to participate in the reading of new drama scripts and stays in Beijing. Zhou Yutang also watched a few episodes with her in the evening.

By the way, I happily browsed the online reviews, most of which were positive.

"Because of "Happy Comedian", the meaning of Sunday has changed. Sunday is no longer a sad weekend before going to work, but a Sunday party that is about to be staged."

As an entertainment consumer product for the public life, it brings joy and decompression to the audience.

This is the meaning of the existence of this program.

"A popular young actor who has always been known as a good man was caught cheating!"

Zhuo Wei's studio was probably negotiating with her husband, and some information was revealed in a subtle way, which also attracted the attention of many people.

After the two sessions, the official announcement of Han Sanping's resignation from China Film Group was made.

In fact, the smooth transfer of power was completed as early as the end of last year.

Although Han Sanye is no longer in this position, his connections are still playing a role.

The Wenhua Award for Screenwriters, which he and Tian Zhuangzhuang have led, has spread throughout the circle, and Jiangdong Entertainment has joined forces with dozens of film and television companies in the circle, such as Guangguang, Xiaoma, Huayi, and Huanrui, to jointly issue a statement, publicly supporting and respecting the status and rights of screenwriters.

"The first Wenhua Award, with an investment of 60 million, is worthy of Zhou Yutang."

"Does anyone know who is richer, him or Wang Xiaocong?"

"You should compare Xiao Wang's father with Zhou Yutang."

"It's unscientific, why is he not on the rich list?"

Most netizens are actually just people who like to have fun, paying attention to how much money Zhou Yutang has, and he actually invested 60 million.

Only the screenwriters in the circle, the real vested interests, are grateful to Zhou Yutang.

The key is that the reputation released by leading film and television companies such as Jiangdong Entertainment and Guangguang is very valuable.

The screenwriter is no longer a small transparent person who is stepped on at the bottom.

And the Wenhua Award is definitely an opportunity for them to realize their ambitions and complete class transition.

Things are slowly getting on track, and Zhou Yutang continues to follow up on the preparations for the second season of "Celebrating Yu Nian".

The show is scheduled to start in April, and he has to take time to practice singing in the recording studio.

Li Zhien is going to hold a solo concert in Shanghai, and then he, as the boss, has to go there to support his employees.

On the 21st, Zhou Yutang landed at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai.

IU's Morden Times concert was held here.

This girl not only swept the South Korean music scene with her solo, but also has many fans in Asia.

When the concert news was released, it attracted great attention from fans. Many fans posted on Weibo x-on:Zhou Yutang: "General, IU is unfamiliar with China. If you don't take good care of her, you should at least come as a guest, right?"

"See you in Shanghai."

Zhou Yutang only responded with a few words.

The ticket prices for the concert are 480 yuan/680 yuan/880 yuan/1280 yuan.

There are several levels, the more expensive the price, the better the seat, and the 1280 level is the front field ticket.

I thought it would be a bit difficult to sell the concert tickets, but they were unexpectedly popular.

Many South Korean fans flew over to support the national sister IU's first concert in China.

There were also many local Jiangdong Shuishi who wanted to support complained that they couldn't buy tickets. Zhou Yutang didn't say anything and directly drew hundreds of front field tickets on Weibo, which was also a reward for his fans.

After practicing for a few days, the professional musicians in the recording studio praised him as the reincarnation of the god of singing, which made Zhou Yutang's self-confidence almost overflow.

When I saw Li Zhien again, the rehearsal had just ended. She was still practicing singing backstage. She looked a little nervous. Zhou Yutang didn't even notice that she had entered the backstage.

"Ji Eun, relax, don't be too nervous."

Li Zhien didn't wake up until she heard her boss's voice.

Turning around, she smiled gracefully, but she wasn't too restrained: "Because there are fans in China who like me, I'm afraid they will be disappointed, so... I'm a little nervous."

It can be heard that she spent a lot of time on Chinese, and her pronunciation is as good as Yoona's.

"Don't be too nervous, we will all support you when the time comes."

"I'm really sorry to bother you."

As she spoke, Li Zhien bowed again: "You're so busy, but you still have time to come here."

"It's a small matter, did you put this dress together by yourself?"

Zhou Yutang felt that Li Zhien's outfit today was a little funny.

A pair of denim suspender shorts, paired with a white T-shirt, coupled with Li Zhien's petite figure, it looked especially like children's clothing.

Probably noticing Zhou Yutang's gaze, Lee Ji-eun asked with a little excitement: "Oppa, how about this, this is my performance dress for tomorrow's concert."

"Well, a girl should look full of energy."

But don't look at this young girl, she earned more than 20 billion won from music income last year.

In addition to the income from endorsements, commercial performances, concerts and other miscellaneous income, she has been ranked in the top three of the South Korean celebrity list for two consecutive years.

It is equivalent to a cash cow.

All South Korean entertainment companies are envious.

At the beginning, Zhou Yutang actually picked up Lee Ji-eun like picking up cabbage on the roadside.

And the ten-year contract is tied tightly, and the sky-high penalty for breach of contract is not even affordable for entertainment companies with chaebol backgrounds.

Because of Lee Ji-eun's feat of supporting the Jiangdong South Korean branch alone, she was nicknamed the God-chosen Queen of Working by fans.

Facing the fans who filled the venue, the thunderous cheering voices made Lee Ji-eun standing on the stage inexplicably moved.

IU is a stage name, where "I" stands for Lee Ji-eun herself, and "U" stands for her fans.

This is her original intention since she entered this circle, to be with her fans forever.

Now her singing can resonate with so many listeners, which makes Lee Ji-eun so excited that she even has difficulty breathing.

After singing 10 songs in a row, there was a short interaction time with fans.

Lee Ji-eun spoke completely in Chinese: "I am very happy to hold a concert in such a beautiful city like Shanghai, and I am also very happy to see so many fans who support me today. You are my motivation to stand on the stage."

"In addition, I would like to thank a very important guest at the scene. I think he is the most handsome man in the world."

At this time, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed without warning, and the lights intertwined and hit the screen behind her. Lee Ji-eun pretended to be startled and looked back.

On the big screen was Zhou Yutang's debut work "Want to See You", which was sunny and handsome enough to make countless girls intoxicated.

At this point, the important guest mentioned by Lee Ji-eun was self-evident, and the fans at the scene began to cheer so loudly that the entire dome was almost overturned:

"Zhou Yutang! Zhou Yutang! Zhou Yutang!"

"It seems that everyone has guessed it."

With a sweet smile on her face, Lee Ji-eun turned sideways and made a cute gesture: "I want to see you, Zhou Yutang."

"When love is left as a relic, it is carved into memories with pictograms"

"Missing you for centuries is unforgettable"

"If I could go back to the Ice Age, I would like to hug you tightly~~~"

Zhou Yutang's debut masterpiece swept across the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and even fascinated countless Korean girls.

Even after a few years, the song "I Want to See You" is still very popular.

In the fresh and melodious prelude of the song, the fans in the venue began to hum along.

The lights suddenly lit up, intertwined and converged, and hit Zhou Yutang.

His impeccable facial features are more profound and three-dimensional under the stage lights. He is wearing a slightly open white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, looking casual and relaxed.

This is definitely not a handsome guy who needs filters and personality to show his temperament.

Instead, he is a shining male god who has reached the top of Asia.
