Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Da Tiantian calls out to Brother Yu Tang, and she is still the little rich woman who provided her with the start-up capital for her dream. Now that she is enrolled in Nortel, Zhou Yutang will of course have to take care of her.

After thinking about it, I simply invited the girl in their dormitory to have a meal.

I had just finished playing football and my body was covered in sweat. I went back to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

Jing Tian directly informed the two remaining girls in the dormitory.

One is named Zheng Shuang, and the other is named Tan Songyun.

Restaurant.

In the box.

Seeing that Zheng Shuang, who came here today with exquisite makeup and a small suspender, looked excited, Da Tiantian felt helpless.

Relatively speaking, Tan Songyun, who was sitting quietly on the side, was much more normal. She was just dressed as an ordinary female college student, wearing a cartoon T-shirt over a shirt and jeans, but she still looked innocent and cute.

"Sorry, I'm a little late."

Zhou Yutang pushed open the door and entered, and several girls in the box stood up together.

"Tsk tsk, Brother Tang, you have a lot of female fans."

Zhang Ruojun winked and smiled.

Zhu Yilong was calm, mainly because he was used to it.

"Sit down, why are you standing?"

Zhou Yutang opened the seat next to Jing Tian and laughed softly: "We are all our own people. You are welcome. This hot pot restaurant is very good."

After mutual introductions and initial impressions, Zhou Yutang realized that Teacher Yao was right.

This bedroom is indeed a bit eye-catching.

Miss Jing Tian is bright and majestic, Zheng Shuang is a pure white flower type, Kan Qingzi looks very pretty at first sight, and the remaining one, Tan Songyun, is also a cute little beauty.

When it comes to quality, in recent years, only Senior Yang Mi’s dormitory can compare.

Kan Qingzi and Tan Songyun had just met and were not very familiar with each other, so they were somewhat unable to let go. They only talked about hometown and other topics to get closer.

On the contrary, this Zheng Shuang is a bit of a social person. Without even a few words of conversation, he took the initiative to come over and asked: "Brother Zhou, you were so handsome when you spoke that night. I like you. Do you have a girlfriend now?" "

"Haha, what do you think?"

"I don't know."

Zheng Shuang smiled carelessly, with a hint of coquettishness.

Jing Tian couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Well, Xiao Shuang, have you finished filming the one-act play assignment assigned by Teacher Zheng in class?"

Zheng Shuang's attention was indeed attracted, and she started to complain with full force: "Speaking of this, I'm really annoyed. It's been rehearsing for a long time, but there is one person who is so stupid and keeps making mistakes."

"."

Zhou Yutang glanced at her and ignored her, chatting nonsense with Kan Qingzi and Tan Songyun beside her.

Zheng Shuang is a pretty girl, but this is not his cup of tea.

We just had a simple meal and got to know each other. The girls in this dormitory were not stupid either. From the chatting process, we could see the relationship between Jing Tian and Zhou Yutang, which made me feel a little envious.

After the dinner party was over, Jing Tian consciously wanted to pay the bill, but the front desk told him that Zhou Yutang had already purchased it in advance.

"Brother Yu Tang, I've cost you money."

"Little things."

After asking Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong to send people back first, Zhou Yutang asked in a leisurely manner, "How is your relationship with the guys in your dormitory?"

"Well, I have an average relationship with Zheng Shuang, so we don't get along well with each other. Kan Qingzi and Tan Songyun both get along well."

Jing Tian said truthfully.

"That's fine, don't get too close to Zheng Shuang."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

"oh."

Jing Tian nodded obediently.

Back in the dormitory, Zhang Ruoyun asked: "Brother Tang, do you have any objections to Zheng Shuang?"

"no comment."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "Don't you think she has no sense of boundaries in what she says and does?"

He took care of Da Tiantian because the little rich woman was really nice and even provided him with the start-up capital for his dream by swiping his gold card.

Since he has no friendship with Zheng Shuang, there is no need to pay any attention to him.

"is a bit."

Brother Long nodded in approval.

Obviously we are not familiar with each other, so we asked Zhou Yutang about his relationship issues.

At best, they are straightforward, but at worst, they have low emotional intelligence. They are too self-centered when speaking and doing things, and don't care about other people's feelings. It's very tiring to be friends with such people.

"Right."

Zhang Ruojun nodded.

After chatting with the school girl for a while, Zhou Yutang unexpectedly received a call from Mr. Cai of Tang Dynasty.

They mainly asked about the post-production of the film, and also kindly invited Zhou Yutang to participate in the team-building activities of Tangren Film and Television Company and travel abroad together.

"Yang Mi is going too?"

"Yeah, you can come too. I'll cover all the expenses. Relax and relax at the end of the year. Don't work too hard."

Mr. Cai sounded in a good mood and took the initiative to care about Zhou Yutang.

"Sister K, I'll forget it."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled: "I have to keep an eye on the post-production process. There is another project in the studio that will be broadcast soon."

"How much did the show sell?"

Mr. Cai immediately thought of that big production, felt uncomfortable, and asked tentatively.

This project is "Let's Get Married", a script written by Zhou Yutang, and his studio also participated in the investment. It is said to be a large-scale urban production with a cost of 50 million.

As an industry insider, Mr. Cai certainly knows that there is water in it, but this project can be connected with CCTV and Mango TV, which can be said to be a huge profit.

"My senior brother talked about this, it shouldn't be low."

Mr. Cai's sour tone could be felt through the phone. Zhou Yutang changed the subject and said:

"How is the later stage of "Sword and Sword III" going?"

"We are already on schedule and should be completed by the end of November."

Cai Yinong did not forget to remind: "It is expected to be broadcast before the year. You must set aside time for promotion by then. You also have a share in this project."

"no problem."

Zhou Yutang readily agreed.

"Sword and Sword III" announced an investment of 40 million, but in fact the total investment will not exceed 30 million.

This project was originally developed by Tangren Film and Television and several companies in Baodao. Later, Zhou Yutang cut the pie from the other company in Baodao. One company in Baodao was very unhappy and immediately withdrew its investment after a quarrel.

Zhou Yutang's salary was the same as Brother Hu's, which was 50,000 per episode. He talked with Mr. Cai and used his salary + screenwriting fee + a small amount of funds in exchange for a part of the investment share.

He is very optimistic about this drama, and Mr. Cai also feels that he is not at a loss.

Originally, I had made up my mind to take both sides, but in reality the relationship of interests is not so easy to balance, so I simply bet on Zhou Yutang. Anyway, Liu Shishi's movie heroine has already given her a taste of the sweetness.

Mr. Cai is looking at Zhou Yutang's development potential.

He tried every means to deepen the relationship with Zhou Yutang, including a warm invitation to travel abroad in the evening.

Just after he finished talking, he received another call from Liu Shishi.

In fact, in her real life, she is an out-and-out homebody. She doesn’t like to go out much after work and surfs the Internet intensively at home every day.

Not long ago, Zhou Yutang heard her spill the beans. It turned out that she was undercover in Zhou Yutang's personal forum, and she had almost reached level 10.

"What have you bought recently?"

"Langweixian, this is really delicious. I also bought some clothes in your store. They are very fashionable. The customer service said they were designed by you? Is it true?"

Liu Shishi shared his life with a smile.

The better she got to know Zhou Yutang, the happier she felt and rolled on the bed.

It can be regarded as a treasure.

Good looks + talent + maturity + taste + ambition, where can you find this hexagonal man?

"I just came up with a few concepts and asked professional designers to help me make them."

Zhou Yutang also chuckled: "If you like it, I will send new products over there to you directly. You can also advertise for me."

"Okay, but I don't have many fans."

Liu Shishi smiled happily and went on to share his life and trivial matters at work with the people he liked.

She was about to travel abroad. The girl was a little excited. After chatting for more than half an hour, she hung up the phone and said that her good sister Yang Mi was looking for her.

A question mark slowly appeared on Zhou Yutang's face.

When did Liu Shishi's relationship with Yang Mi become so good?

…

During this period, the promotion of "Let's Get Married" was in full swing.

Director Liu Jiang originally invited Zhou Yutang to join the promotion team. After all, Zhou Yutang was really popular, but Zhou Yutang declined in the end.

He is just a guest star in this drama, and he is considered an investor behind the scenes. There is no need to show his face everywhere.

You know it if you have experienced it.

To promote it, we have to fly to various cities across the country and appear on various programs in turn.

That's one word.

tired.

Being on variety shows is just for exposure.

Zhou Yutang has just stepped down from the entertainment headlines, and his new song "Those Years" has already entered the major music charts. The new song is in the top ten. The media is claiming that it is mainland Jay Chou, which has created enough momentum for his movie.

There is no lack of exposure, so there is no need to suffer this crime.

certainly.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yutang is busy revising the script of "Latent".

After almost becoming the first variety show in China, "Let's Get Married" finally launched in late October.

"Yu Tang, how are the ratings?"

"Not bad, first in the same period."

Zhou Yutang glanced at the first-day ratings report sent by Senior Brother Liu Jiang and said calmly.

"Is this name okay? Can you give me some reaction?"

Li Shuang was speechless.

"If the ratings of a drama endorsed by both CCTV and Mango TV can't rise, it means it's a truly bad drama."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "There is no problem with the script I made, and director Liu Jiang is also very capable. I have watched the finished drama of Marriage. It is definitely a high-quality drama with above-average quality. It is not surprising that it has such ratings." .”

The premiere ratings of "Let's Get Married" exceeded 4, directly taking the first place in its time period.

At this time, the popular drama "Struggle" had just finished airing and ranked first among major TV stations with an average ratings of 6.3. During the same period, it also had a rival with Mango TV's Qiong Yao drama "Another Dream". His head was bleeding.

But now the relay "Let's Get Married" has started stronger than "Struggle".

It's at its peak right from the start.

He stands out from the crowd and has no rivals.

It is said that the person in charge of each major TV station has urgently adjusted the order of the programs and moved the TV series that were originally scheduled to be broadcast during the prime time period back for a period of time.

Otherwise, if you encounter "Let's Get Married", you will be killed indiscriminately.

Here, CCTV and Hunan Mango TV have also begun to work hard on their press releases.

"CCTV and Mango Satellite TV jointly broadcast "Let's Get Married" with a ratings of over 4 for its premiere. The goddess Gao Yuanyuan transformed into a hated married woman."

"CCTV insiders estimate that the latest script "Let's Get Married" by the talented screenwriter Zhou Yutang may break the annual ratings record!"

"The director of Mango TV Europe's balcony praised Zhou Yutang for his amazing talent and mastering the password of ratings."

"Huang Haibo became famous instantly, and mediocre men also have their spring."

"From Zhou Zhiruo to Yang Tao, Gao Yuanyuan has contributed her peak acting skills."

"Informed sources who do not want to be named revealed that Huang Haiboy fell in love because of drama, but unfortunately Prince Xiang has a heart, and the goddess has no dreams. Gao Yuanyuan may have fallen in love with the romantic talent Zhou Yutang, and the two have been secretly dating for more than a month."

…

The overwhelming press releases dominated the headlines of the entire entertainment page.

Even the news about her confession to Ma Yili because of the popularity of "Struggle" was suppressed.

Just after hanging up the celebratory call from Director Liu Jiang, Zhou Yutang's expression was a little strange.

Li Shuang on the side asked curiously: "Yu Tang, the ratings have exploded. Shouldn't you be happy? Why do you still look like this?"

Zhou Yutang spread his hands and said helplessly: "Senior brother Liu Jiang wants to drag me into a scandal."

"Oh, that's not a scandal."

Li Shuang glanced at Zhou Yutang calmly.

As an agent, she is very aware of the relationship between the two.

Zhou Yutang said innocently: "Sister Shuang, don't get me wrong. Sister Yuanyuan and I are really siblings."

"Haha, I believe it."

Li Shuang raised his eyebrows and smiled, a bit teasingly, and then curiously asked: "What's the hype over there?"

Zhou Yutang explained it to her.

Generally speaking, the TV drama scandal hype routines are all about the male and female protagonists, from on-screen to off-screen CP, attracting the audience's attention, thereby increasing the ratings of the TV series. However, Huang Haibo is too popular and has little traffic. To be honest, it is hard to speculate. The portion is not enough either.

Director Liu Jiang had an idea and came up with a sexy trick.

It was first reported that Huang Haibo fell in love with the goddess Gao Yuanyuan due to a love affair in the drama, and then it was reported that the goddess Gao Yuanyuan fell in love with the talented Zhou Yutang.

It sounds unreliable at first, but it is somewhat believable.

As we all know, Gao Yuanyuan likes talents.

This scandal was released in stages, forming a love cycle in which Boiling Goat pursues Beautiful Goat and Pleasant Goat.

Just like this, can the ratings of the TV series soar?

Zhou Yutang can only say that Senior Brother Liu Jiang is really good at playing.

To him, it doesn't matter whether there is a scandal or not.

He doesn't kneel down to eat from female fans. As long as he has good works, he can make money standing up.

The audience is also very tolerant of talents who can produce excellent works. Even if their private lives are a little messy, it is still a romantic affair.

"By the way, Sister Shuang, there is also good news. Do you know how much the first round of the show "Let's Get Married" sold?"

Zhou Yutang's mouth curved, showing off.

"How much did you sell?"

Speaking of Qian Li Shuang immediately became energetic.

"1.5 million per episode in the first round."

"so tall!?"

Although Sister Shuang has seen the world, she was also shocked at this time, "Isn't this price a record-breaking price?"

It is true that the domestic TV drama market is booming, but before that there were very few dramas that broke over one million yuan. "Let's Get Married" directly sold for 1.5 million yuan. Calculated based on 50 episodes, the first round income was 75 million yuan. Even according to external claims Calculating the cost of 50 million, that would be a net profit of 25 million, not counting those advertising placements...

"Return to zero, return to zero, return to zero!"

With money symbols in his eyes, Li Shuang took out the computer in his bag and began to calculate how much money Jiangdong Studio could make here.

"Don't forget it."

Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers rhythmically on his knees, doing a simple mental calculation based on the actual cost and giving an answer instantly.

"So far, excluding investment costs, the studio's revenue should be in eight figures."

"..."

Li Shuang's expression twitched.

She knew this project was a sure moneymaker.

But I didn’t expect to earn so much.

to be honest.

Zhou Yutang was also surprised.

At the same time, I also gained a deeper understanding of human connections.

Making money in this industry is both difficult and easy.

There are two necessary conditions.

First, good work.

Second, personal connections.

Good works are the foundation, and personal relationships are the key.

In any case, Senior Brother Liu Jiang’s thigh was really good, and everyone was happy because it was full of meat.

So Zhou Yutang thought about it and nodded in agreement with Director Liu Jiang's plan to promote the scandal.

While chatting with Li Shuang here, Gao Yuanyuan called, "Yu Tang, how are your preparations over there?"

"I can go at any time."

"Then wait a minute while I put on a little makeup."

"Sister Yuanyuan, you are actually beautiful even without makeup."

Zhou Yutang had a premonition of something and said rainbow fart.

"Just wait, I'll look better with makeup. I'll take pictures for the newspaper later."

"..."

The wait was over an hour.

Zhou Yutang and Gao Yuanyuan drove to the agreed eating place respectively, and then Director Liu Jiang found a reporter to find an angle to take intimate photos of them while eating.

The materials will be gradually released in conjunction with the broadcast of the TV series.

Even the clarification draft has been written in advance.

Zhou Yutang: "Sister Yuanyuan is my good sister. We were introduced to each other by Brother Xiao Ming. This TV series was inspired by her. This is the star fruit in my mind. We often gather together in private and make appointments with good friends. Food is normal, right?"

Gao Yuanyuan: "Hai Bo is a good person and we are friends.

In addition, I don’t know why there are rumors about my affair with Yu Tang. He and I really have a very pure brother-sister relationship. Yu Tang is the most talented boy I have ever seen. His new song "Those Years" was released not long ago. I like it very much. It is the theme song of the movie he wrote, directed and acted in. Now that it has been filmed, I think I will be able to see you in a while. I hope you will support it. "

Then another leading actor Huang Haibo also issued a clarification, saying that he is friends with Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Yutang, and he also admires Zhou Yutang's talent.

Not to mention, this love cycle of Boiling Goat → Beautiful Goat → Pleasant Goat is really useful.

In line with the popularity of the TV series, after it was gradually released, countless posts discussing the relationship between the three people appeared on the Internet.

The ratings of TV series are also rising all the time, according to official information from CCTV and Mango TV.

Just three days after the broadcast, the ratings had already exceeded 5. By the 10th day of the broadcast, the ratings had exceeded 8. The entire series was not even halfway through, and it was heading straight towards breaking the 10 mark.

In addition to the amazing ratings of the TV station, "Let's Get Married" is also very popular on the Internet. The number of searches in a single day exceeds one million times. Several video websites have already made contacts to win the online broadcast rights.

Although 2007 is not over yet, the newly popular "Struggle" has been stepped on, and the final ratings of "Want to See You" at the beginning of the year did not break 10, so it cannot be a rival.

The next target is Leslie Cheung's "Golden Wedding". This drama is also a hit, with a single episode ratings exceeding 13%!

However, "Let's Get Married" has great stamina and may not have a chance to become the drama king of the year.

Faced with this wedding storm, the entire TV drama industry was shocked, and at the same time, countless professionals were conducting dismantling and analysis.

First "Golden Wedding" opened the way, and then "Let's Get Married" followed. A phenomenal hit drama like this must have its basic logic for becoming popular.

As long as you master this set of logic and follow the example of a cat or a tiger, you can produce a TV series above the same level.

Soon professionals analyzed the keywords.

Realistic marriage themes.

This has a lot to do with China's national conditions in recent years, as the marriage rate has been steadily declining.

Times have changed, and young people in China do not want to get married even when they are old.

Therefore, the above intention is to create a TV series with this type of marriage theme, to give a positive orientation and stimulate the overall marriage rate.

It will definitely be effective in the short term.

But if the fundamental problem is not solved, it will not make much sense to increase the marriage rate in a short period of time.

Quite simply, as the marriage rate increases, the divorce rate also increases.

In the final analysis, the wages of young people of marriageable age cannot keep up with the increase in the cost of living.

Getting married is gradually becoming a very luxurious thing.

How dare you mislead a beautiful woman when you have the breeze in your sleeves?
