China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 107 Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so there is no need to play fairy tales.

Zhou Yutang could understand what Han Sanping meant.

Han Sanping also instantly felt Zhou Yutang's sincerity.

The script of "Latent" was highly rated in the circle, and Boss Han had read it carefully, and was quite shocked.

Before that, he never expected that Zhou Yutang, who started out as a youth school drama, could tell a story with a main theme so attractively.

From Mr. Han's professional point of view, this project will basically not lose money, and it may even make a lot of money. After all, Zhou Yutang's previous dramas were all hits.

For a hit film and television drama with the main theme, making money is the second priority. Mr. Han is more concerned about reputation.

This means a lot to him.

Zhou Yutang sent an excellent opportunity to earn fame to himself.

Mr. Han smiled happily.

With the addition of this layer of relationship, the distance between the two people has been shortened a lot. Han Sanping took the initiative to say: "Yu Tang, how is the preparation going? Do you want China Film to help?"

"It's almost done. The shooting can start directly this month, and it's expected to be finished within two months."

"Yes, young people are motivated."

Han Sanping was very satisfied, and continued to ask: "What about movies? Do you have any plans for movies?"

"I plan to finish filming the drama "Latent" first. I have a few immature ideas, but the specific script has not been written yet. When it is finished, I will definitely show it to Mr. Han."

"Well, I'm looking forward to your next movie."

Li Shuang waited in the car for more than two hours, when he saw Zhou Yutang coming out, his eyes lit up: "Yu Tang, what did Boss Han want to talk to you about?"

"I didn't talk about anything."

"I didn't talk about anything, I left you for more than two hours?" Sister Shuang said that she was speechless.

"I just talked about the TV series "Latent", the main theme + spy war, a genre that has never been seen before. Mr. Han is still very interested. China Film Group took the remaining 20% ​​of the investment share, and he himself supervised the production."

"I thought why you reserved 20% of the share in advance, it turned out that it was to wait for China Film Group"

Sister Shuang suddenly realized, she looked at Zhou Yutang as if she was looking at some monster.

"It's not because of this. At that time, part of the investment share was left to prevent unexpected situations. In the end, no partner was found, and the studio could digest it on its own. I was also surprised to receive a call from Mr. Han. I can only say that it happened just right. There was an opportunity."

Zhou Yutang chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Han helped out last time in the filming of "Those Years". This time, he reciprocated and talked about my next movie."

"What's the next movie?"

"I'm not sure, we'll talk about it after the filming of "Latent" is finished."

"How do you feel after communicating with Han Sanping?"

"I think Mr. Han is quite easy to talk to."

"Hehe, Yu Tang, you may not know much about Han Sanping's energy now, but you will gradually know about it later."

Li Shuang summed it up in a comfortable mood: "In short, joining the line of China Film Group will be very beneficial to the development of you and the studio."

At the beginning of April, the most eye-catching film in the domestic film industry was "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Remove Armor" directed by Li Rengang.

This big production, with a total investment of more than 1 million, stars Liu Dehua, one of the four heavenly kings of Xiangjiang, and Hong Pang, the big brother in the Hong Kong circle.

Before it was released, it was already full of drafts.

As for the Three Kingdoms epic masterpiece, it can be compared with "Red Cliff", which is scheduled to be released in July this year.

Director Li Rengang has repeatedly claimed that he is a fan of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He thinks it is a very romantic story and requires us to put aside the history of the Three Kingdoms to watch the movie.
Zhou Yutang couldn't figure out what kind of brain circuit he had.

Can you believe that you can wear a flying saucer hat in the Three Kingdoms?

Seeing that An Zhijie and Yu Rongguang were cutting each other there, one shouted "Long Live the Kingdom of Shu" and the other shouted "Long Live the Kingdom of Wei". Zhou Yutang's toes in the movie theater felt awkward digging through the ground.

There is also a traitor like Cao Cao, who can bring his granddaughter Cao Ying, who is several years old, to fight on the battlefield. Those who don't know it think it's just playing house.

It was an epic masterpiece like the Three Kingdoms, but it was essentially a gangster movie made in Hong Kong.

The layout is too small, and the final box office is only more than 4000 million. The market gave Director Li the best answer.

Time passed quickly, and it was late April in a blink of an eye.

The preliminary preparations for the crew of "Latent" have been completed.

After taking the makeup photos, the crew met in Hengdian and held a script reading session.

Several creative actors talked about their understanding of the script from their own perspectives.

There is no problem, the actors are all very professional actors who have worked hard in advance.

The story of "Latent" is very simple. It mainly happened after the surrender of Neon in 1945. The leading actor, Yu Zecheng, was lurking as a spy in the KMT's top intelligence agency, the Military Command Bureau.

On the one hand, he hides his identity in secret, on the other hand, he secretly delivers information to Chen Cang. At the same time, he also has to deal with the emotional entanglement between his true lover and his fake wife. Finally, he obtains important information and makes an important contribution to the victory of the Liberation War.

Zhou Yutang is the producer this time, sitting in charge of the production crew to coordinate the overall situation. After meeting and discussing the plans of each group, he asked the production director, Brother Lin Liang, to distribute the production schedule that was prepared in advance.

The director is Mr. Jiang Wei, the assistant director is Wen Muye, Lin Yufen is not here, and Sister Fen will be filming the second, third and second seasons of "Together Through the Windows" in a while.

The crew of this TV series filmed for about two months and were divided into two groups. Director Jiang Wei was in charge of group A and Wen Muye was in charge of group B.

To catch up with the shooting schedule, there are high requirements for the professionalism of the staff and actors. The team of Jiangdong Studio also followed all the way from "Those Years", and their professional ability is beyond doubt.

Compared with "Want to See You" and "Those Years", the cast this time is not the same.

All powerful.

The powerful actor Zhang Songwen has been waiting for a blockbuster for several years.

In order to experience Wang Cuiping's life, Zeng Li went to work as a village girl for several months.

Teacher Zu Feng is also good at acting. Needless to say, Feng Enhe and Wu Gang are well-established actors.

Even Zuo Lan, who plays Yu Zecheng's true lover, is Hu Jing, one of the eight golden flowers in the 96th grade of Chinese opera.

Huang Xiaoming guest-starred as Liao Sanmin, a loyal soldier of our party, but he is currently filming another movie and will not be able to join the cast until May.

Zhou Yutang himself also played a cameo role in "Latent", Mu Wanqiu's husband Xie Ruolin.

This character is different from Yu Zecheng and Li Ya. They fight for their firm beliefs. Xie Ruolin just plays it as a game.

This is a dangerous game with his life on the line.

From beginning to end, he is a selfish individual survivalist.

But such a role is not annoying.

Zhou Yutang's roles are not too many, but his role is very important, and he can leave famous quotes every time he appears.

"Ah! Look at those officials nowadays, they talk about doctrine, but their hearts are full of business!"

"This future is peaceful, and there will be no doctrines. What is there? Only money, believe it or not?"

"Now two gold bars are placed here, tell me which one is noble? Which one is dirty?"

The proper talker king.

Zhou Yutang likes this role very much and finds it very enjoyable to play.

This year he was so popular that he just brought a wave of traffic and attention to his drama.

Teacher Jiang Wei is also an academic director, so he went straight into filming without any opening ceremony.

The actors of the crew also quickly entered the state.

The early filming went smoothly, and when it was not Zhou Yutang's turn to play, he sat behind the monitor and served as the assistant director for Mr. Jiang Wei.

By the way, secretly learn a few tricks from Teacher Jiang Wei.

As far as Zhou Yutang is concerned, every director he has worked with has his own special skills.

For example, teacher Xue Xiaolu expresses emotions very delicately, and director Li Guoli, the overall shooting rhythm is well coordinated, which is the result of decades of skill.

When Zhou Yutang was on the set, he often communicated with these directors, and then observed some details by himself to form his own style.

That's why Lin Yufen lamented that Zhou Yutang's directorial skills improved greatly from the beginning to the end of filming in "Those Years". Even Wen Muye had a similar feeling.

Zhou Yutang's part was filmed ahead of schedule again.

There's no way, he's been so popular recently, he's much busier than the other cast members.

Today was a night scene.

Yu Zecheng made dumplings at home to test Xie Ruolin.

First, a few people talked and laughed making dumplings, and Wan Qiu helped Yu Zecheng roll up one of his cuffs.

Wang Cuiping, played by Zeng Li, was extremely intimidated, and the movements of wrapping dumplings in her hands accelerated unconsciously, and the expression on her face could tell that she was very unhappy.

Cuiping is a very forthright woman, she immediately moved her hands neatly, rolled up Yu Zecheng's cuff on the other side, and said rudely:

"Sister, you are a scholar, if your little tender hand touches his elbow, he can pee in his pants."

"What nonsense?"

Yu Zecheng glanced at the two women quickly, and explained to Wan Qiu: "Your sister-in-law is a nice person, but there is no order in her mouth."

"Crack, do it again!"

Teacher Jiang Wei stopped at the side, and took the initiative to come over to give a play: "Just now, Wan Qiu's eyes should be more gentle, with a little throbbing affection. You like Yu Zecheng, and you have to show the kind of affection you have for him." emotion"

Zhou Yutang got angry. Teacher Jiang Wei knew that this person had a background, and his attitude was usually very polite. After teaching Zhu Jie, he turned around and began to dispatch the scene again:
"Camera No. [-] pay attention to capture Cuiping's back. This is a woman in an angry state. Footsteps and movements are very important. Camera No. [-] focuses the camera on Song Wen's expression. Song Wen pays attention to showing some guilt on her face , all departments are ready, start!"

I got stuck at Zhu Jie's place a few times, and then the filming went smoothly.

Everyone is an old actor, and the cooperation is very tacit.

Seeing Wan Qiu flirting with Yu Zecheng, Cuiping turned around and entered the kitchen, while Wan Qiu was face-to-face ntr, and quickly leaned forward to kiss Yu Zecheng on the face, Zhang Songwen made a very subtle dodge movement, briefly After the astonishment passed, she bowed her head in silence to make dumplings.

He knew his identity and mission, and he knew that he didn't love her in his heart, so he couldn't respond to Wan Qiu's feelings.

When the atmosphere among the three was a little awkward, Zhou Yutang slicked his hair back, dressed in a decent suit, and put his hands in his pockets, appearing gracefully on stage.

Seeing the dumplings on the table, the cynical look on Zhou Yutang's face suddenly faded away, and he was stunned for a few seconds, while Yu Zecheng keenly observed Xie Ruolin's expression from high to low, and he could not help but grit his teeth and say, : "The last meal before I say goodbye to my parents is dumplings, damn Japs!"

This is also the only episode where the character of Xie Ruolin reveals his true feelings in the whole play.

But from this short but emotional line, we can reveal a part of his life experience. His parents and family were also lost at the hands of the Japanese invaders.

Just this shot took a whole night.

The main teacher, Jiang Wei, is very strict. These subtle emotional changes are almost impossible.

Every character in "Latent", including Xie Ruolin, is a living person with flesh and blood, and these subtle emotional changes are the best way of expression.

"Director Jiang, President Zhou, supper is here!"

The actor who played the role of Shengxiang, the head of the Secrecy Bureau, ran over with a late-night snack in his arms. The lesbians ate cucumbers and tomatoes to stay in shape.

Zhou Yutang sat down with Jiang Wei, Zhang Songwen, Feng Enhe, and Wu Gang to make skewers.

Director Jiang Wei nodded in praise and said: "Xiao Zhang is not bad, his eyes are lively, and his acting skills are also good. Come and eat together."

"Thank you Director Jiang for your appreciation."

Xiao Zhang took the initiative to express to Zhou Yutang, director Jiang Wei and others: "There will be a scene to be filmed later, and drinking will affect the state. I will replace the wine with water and do it first as a respect. I must respect the teachers another day."

After finishing speaking, he gulped down a large bottle of Coke and burped when he was done, which amused everyone.

This little Zhang is called Zhang Guofeng, and he was born as a group performer. With his superb acting skills, he won the role of Chang Shengxiang, the archivist of the Security Bureau.

Although there are not many roles, it is also the kind of supporting role that can appear in the cast.

"Chief Sheng, I don't think you seem to be acting."

Zhou Yutang asked jokingly: "Is there any secret to acting so well?"

"Mr. Zhou is very talented, I am just an extra."

Knowing that Zhou Yutang is the investor's father, Zhang Guofeng said flatteringly, "I usually just think about it and integrate myself into the role. Compared with a few teachers, I still have a lot to learn."

Teacher Feng Enhe asked: "Xiao Zhang, I hear your accent, you seem to be from the Northeast?"

"I'm from Lu Province."

Zhang Guofeng laughed foolishly.

"Hey, that's a fellow villager with Director Jiang."

"very eloquent."

Teacher Jiang Wei rolled a bunch of mutton skewers and expressed his feelings: "Yu Tang, to tell you the truth, before the filming started, my personal opinion was that Zeng Li was too beautiful and not suitable for the role of the heroine Cuiping, but Now it seems that your vision is really good."

"When I gave this book to Zeng Li last year, in order to play this role well, she went to the rural areas of northern Shaanxi to stay for several months."

"No wonder, the rudeness and aggressiveness of the rural women are very good, what a good actor."

Teacher Jiang Wei nodded and gave high comments.

When returning to the hotel after filming the night scene, Zhou Yutang always felt that something was wrong. When he was taking a bath, a flash of memory suddenly flashed in his mind.

He immediately asked Senior Brother Lin Liang to find out the details of Zhang Guofeng.

After understanding the situation, he immediately called Uncle Hat.

That night, the local police station took a heavy blow and directly took away the fugitive whose alias Zhang Guofeng was actually called Ji Shiguang.

"Zhou Yutang, how do you know it belongs to a fugitive?"

"My memory has always been very good. When I saw it when I was filming, I felt familiar. I felt as if I had seen it somewhere. I took a photo of him at night after eating supper. He missed his accent. I suddenly remembered that I had seen him wanted on TV before. The more I think about the news, the more I feel like it, after confirming my identity, I called the police station to confirm the identity information, it really is him."

"You have done a great job. This person is very cruel and cunning. In 98, he robbed and murdered a sir with his accomplices on the street. The one who robbed was a sir. Several members of the gang used knives and wounded that sir into a level 8 injury. Disabled, he can only walk with crutches until now, and now he is finally caught, I want to thank you for that colleague."

"The French Open has been restored, and it is my job to be careless."

Zhou Yutang made the record, because the matter had a great impact, the local directors came out and saluted Zhou Yutang to thank him.

"Yu Tang, I'm sorry. It's my fault. It won't have a negative impact on the crew, right?"

Brother Lin Liang took Zhou Yutang back to the set and apologized in panic.

He is the production director and casting director.

This Zhang Guofeng was also recruited by him. He was a well-known supporting role in Hengdian. He had a good relationship with several group leaders and producers. No one expected him to have such a criminal record.

"It's not a big problem, just replace someone else."

Zhou Yutang smiled and patted Senior Brother Lin Liang on the shoulder.

To say that this guy is really old and cunning. After the team committed a crime, he ran away decisively. At that time, surveillance was not popularized, so he bought a fake ID card, and lived in the identity of Zhang Guofeng for almost ten years.

At the beginning, I did some wine selling work in KTV, and I didn't dare to show up. Later, I found out that I didn't show my secrets, and I also worked as a temporary stage host. After a few years, my courage became more and more courageous, and I went directly to Hengdian as a group performer.

Life is like a play, it depends on acting.

It really gave him a name for himself.

He has played supporting roles in more than a dozen dramas, but this time he fell into Zhou Yutang's hands.

"Are you really a fugitive? That's really courageous, dare to be an actor?"

Director Jiang Wei was also shocked. Last night he praised her acting skills, but that night she got into trouble.

The cast and crew including Feng Enhe and Zhang Songwen also had their views shattered.

In all these years of working, I have never encountered such a strange thing.

"Hey, Shi Shi, I'm fine."

When Zhou Yutang came out, he received a call from Liu Shishi and explained it.

By the way, I replied to Da Meiyuan and her family members who sent me the message.

Zhou Yutang, who was extremely popular last night, was taken into the police station, and the media reporters squatting next to the crew were like Chinese New Year.

News is very timely. The next morning, the news headlines on several portal websites were already full, covering everything.

There were even outrageous tabloids saying that while filming, Zhou Yutang was collecting photos on three streets in Hengdian and got involved in an official anti-pornography campaign.
All kinds of news spread uproariously.

In short, the heat is full.

The next day, the film crew held a press conference and issued a joint statement with the Hengdian police station.

"I am sworn to death with evil!"

Photos of Zhou Yutang shaking hands with the head of the local police station made headlines.

I’ve seen celebrity gossips make headlines when they were filming, but I’ve never seen a celebrity make news because of arresting a fugitive. Yang Mi and Tang Yan were convinced, they thought Zhou Yutang’s luck was really good.

After such a small episode, the crew of "Latent" has gained unprecedented attention.

As for the role of "Sheng Guang" in the play, it was natural to reshoot it. Zhang Songwen called his good brother Zhou Yiwei to come to the rescue.

Zhou Yiwei was filming the TV series "Famous Family Tribulation" in Hengdian, just finished filming and was about to return to Beijing, when he received the news from Zhang Songwen, he joined the team that day without any hesitation.

Compared with Zhang Songwen who met Zhou Yutang, Zhou Yiwei's situation is not that good. The scripts he acted were all small productions. This time, he was overjoyed to be included in a big project like "Latent".

In fact, this dude's acting skills are still very good. Both director Jiang Wei and Zhou Yutang are very satisfied with him.

The filming of "Insidious" went very smoothly.

In May of 08, the domestic atmosphere was somewhat heavy due to the incident in Southwest China.

Zhou Yutang was still filming in Hengdian at this time, and he asked Sister Shuang to donate 100 million in the name of the studio, and donated a large amount of living supplies.

Zhou Yutang watched Zhang Songwen and Teacher Feng Enhe's drama from behind the monitor.

This scene is the one where Ma Kui is blamed, and it is also one of the most classic scenes in the whole drama.

Stationmaster Wu looked at the close painting that Yu Zecheng and Lu Qiaoshan found from Ma Kui's house, and the expression on his face was very exciting: "The snowy mountains have been cold through the ages, and the Emei Peak is photographed alone, and you are riding a horse alone. It is quite romantic?"

"Okay, it's over! This paragraph is really amazing!"

Director Jiang Wei was very excited after filming this scene, and said to Zhou Yutang: "I have a hunch that this movie will definitely become a classic."

Director Jiang Wei is not the only one who has confidence.

Several leading actors are also becoming more and more confident.

Zeng Li has been a village girl for the role of Wang Cuiping for several months, and Zhang Songwen has put in a lot of hard work.

From the moment he received the script from Zhou Yutang, he never took on another role and studied the character of Yu Zecheng in seclusion.

Analyzing his behavior pattern, tone and posture, he communicated countless times with Zhou Yutang, the script writer, and director Jiang Wei, before finally summing up the most appropriate way of expression.

And Zeng Li, who was rated as a good actor by Teacher Jiang Wei, was caught by her best friend Hu Jing when she slipped back to her room in the middle of the night: "Well, Lizi is so beautiful, I said why the door of the room is always open for no reason every now and then. Turn it on, or you might as well live in your good brother's room every day."

Originally, the crew had arranged single rooms for the leading actors, but Zeng Li and Hu Jing had a good relationship, so she specially asked for a double room.

Hu Jing was very moved.

After a while she regretted it.

I thought that Zeng Li had a deep relationship with her sister, but I didn't expect to use her as a cover to go out at night to date a young lover.

Isn't this bullying the honest person?

Zeng Li also blushed a little: "I'm talking about the script with the screenwriter."

"Hehe, who talked about the script until midnight?"

Hu Jing glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, with an expression like you're lying to a ghost.

Suddenly, as if he realized something, he looked at Zeng Li with a narrow smile: "Okay, beauty Dalizi, in more than three hours, at the most beautiful age, I met the most powerful younger brother."

"How dare you talk nonsense!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Zeng Li rushed forward in anger.

"Mimi, "Classmates" will start airing on June 22. Remember to reserve a schedule for publicity. Tangtang has already notified her. She has no problems. The script for the second season of "Classmates" has been completed, and it is ready to be released in September. Shooting starts in July."

Zhou Yutang hugged the beauty in Tsing Yi and called Da Mimi to exchange work.

The editorial department he established began to work. Bao Jingjing and several other new screenwriters were extremely capable. According to the outline given by Zhou Yutang, the script for the second season had been written. Finally, it was handed over to Zhou Yutang, who revised it slightly without any problems.

In fact, the story of "Classmates" is really simple. It tells the story of ordinary college students who are very down-to-earth, and the stories of several leading actors growing up in their daily lives.

But simple stories also have the power to move people.

Just after talking to Damimi, Zhou Yutang suddenly received a call from Li Shuang and learned another breaking news.
