China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 188 The Three Great Movie Kings, the Appointment of the National Master

"Make Fa Ge laugh."

The exchange was very pleasant, but Fa Ge mentioned the letter. Zhou Yutang was a little embarrassed because Fa Ge almost mistook it for a love letter.

"Mr. Zhou, hello."

Zhang Yi also took the initiative to say hello.

He was recommended to join the cast by Zhou Yutang. In "Let the Bullets Fly" he played the role of Liuzi, the unlucky guy who was forced to commit seppuku by Hu Wan played by Chen Kun to prove that he had only eaten a bowl of rice noodles.

Originally Zhang Guoli wanted to insert his son Zhang Mo into the crew to play this role, but then National Film and Television opened another youth campus love TV series called "Love Corner", and specially invited the popular sweet girl Chen Qiao from the province. En became the heroine and promoted her own son.
Zhang Yi knew that he was recommended to join the group by Zhou Yutang, so he was naturally grateful.

Previously, he mostly acted in TV series, and the opportunity to star in movies is very rare.

Zhou Yutang has watched his performances in "Soldier Assault" and "My Captain, My Regiment", and he also quite recognized his acting skills.

"Do good work and have the opportunity to cooperate."

There are also many big-name seniors in the crew, Liao Fan plays the third child, and Feng Xiaogang also has a role in it, but the little gangster is not present.

After greeting everyone one by one, we sat down and chatted with the production team, and by the way got to know Jiang Wen’s golden partner Marco.

The eight-year-old son of Ma Bond, who plays the role in the film, enthusiastically invited Zhou Yutang to exchange experiences in film and television dramas.

It didn't take long for the two to become familiar with each other.

"Yu Tang, let me tell you, for the next scene to be filmed, a winery came up with a 1000W product placement that only appeared for a few seconds. Lao Jiang rejected it without even thinking about it, ugh."

When Marco said this, he beat his chest and showed great regret.

1000 million.

Not 1000 yuan.

Jiang Wen was in charge of filming, he didn't care about that, he was only in charge of making money.

Marco is a veteran in the industry with strong abilities. He knows that Zhou Yutang recovered the cost of filming "My Love from the Star" by relying on advertisements, and he admires Zhou Yutang quite a lot.

If someone like Zhou Yutang can make money by making movies and TV series, he is simply a god.

"Brother Ma, you really shouldn't do this. It can easily make the audience upset."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.

This Hongmen Banquet, where the three major movie stars compete, is the most exciting scene in the film and should not be messed with.

Movies are a little different from TV series. Movies require the audience to pay, but TV series can have dozens of episodes. To watch, the audience only needs to turn on the TV. If the technique is clever, it can be completely implanted without trace.

For example, the cosmetics used by Liu Yifei in "My Love from the Star" look very natural.

But a movie is only two hours long at most, and every detail is crucial, so naturally you can’t mess around with it.

It just so happened that the crew was filming the Hongmen Banquet with three major movie stars on the same stage. Zhou Yutang also became interested and sat behind the monitor to watch Jiang Wen's shooting techniques.

at the banquet.

Jiang Wen and Zhou Runfa changed cups and cups, and there was something hidden in every word they said.

Ge You kept pretending to be confused, talking about money in every sentence, but he pretended not to understand when he talked about US dollars.

But when it came to suppressing bandits, Zhou Runfa said that he had a relationship with Zhang Mazi 20 years ago.

Jiang Wen's identity was faintly revealed here, but Jiang Wen remained calm and calm.

Jiang Wen pretended to be confused and asked, "Is there such a fate? So where does it come from?"

"The lights were dim, and he suddenly looked back, but I was hidden in the shadow of the lights!"

"One in the light and one in the dark?"

The expression on Ge You's face was appropriately puzzled. Zhou Runfa squinted his eyes and raised a finger, like an old owl: "Shh! Be quiet!"

Jiang Wenqing asked: "So, at that time?"

"Exactly right now!"

Zhou Runfa stared at Jiang Wen, his eyelids drooping, but his eyes were meaningful.

"Crack, do it again!"

But Jiang Wen looked back at the effect, holding the crumpled script paper, frowning, feeling that it was slightly flawed and the taste was wrong.

He has his own pursuits when filming.

Only such perfectionistic pursuit of excellence can create a classic.

In fact, the lines in this scene are worthy of careful consideration.

While Zhou Yutang was having fun, he also heard the sound of money burning crazily.

In order to shoot this scene, Jiang Wen specially built a circular track and purchased three new large cameras. Each camera required five people to control it, and it had to continuously rotate 5 ​​degrees to shoot the three movie stars while in motion.

Just this one scene.

In order to achieve the best effect, Jiang Wen used more than 100 feet of film, which totaled more than [-] million!

However, these three movie kings also contributed extremely wonderful acting skills, which really made Zhou Yutang quite enjoyable to watch and learn a lot.

Zhou Yutang stayed on the set for a few days and saw the completion of the Hongmen Banquet of the three major movie stars before returning to the capital.

As soon as I arrived at the company, I unexpectedly received a call.
"Lao Hu, why did you call me?"

"What you're saying is, isn't it because Shi Shi's phone call was so disappointing?" Lao Hu seemed to be in a good mood and even made a joke.

"I just got off the phone with Shi Shi. Her drama is about to be finished."

"."

Hu Ge was probably speechless. After a long while, he said: "Your "Star You" was too cruel. Fortunately, my drama has been postponed."

"Myth."

Zhou Yutang suddenly felt enlightened.

Hu Ge's "Myth" was originally expected to be released on CCTV in early January.

But at the time when "My Love from the Star" was so powerful, it was jointly broadcast by the three major TV stations: Mango, Magic City, and Jiangsu Province.

None of the other satellite TV stations across the country dared to test its edge. With such a huge hit phenomenon-level TV series that can only be seen blindly, CCTV will naturally not hesitate to let "Myth" hit it head on.

Therefore, the broadcast of Hu Ge's "Myth" was postponed until the end of "My Love from the Star".

A drama that can be broadcast on CCTV, "Myth" itself is also an S-level TV drama. It successfully succeeded "My Love from the Star" and dominated the TV drama market in the entire second half of January.

However, the character of Hu Ge's male protagonist Yi Xiaochuan in the play is not very good, and it can even be said to be very troublesome.

On the contrary, Gao Yao, who climbed up from the bottom to become a black man, gave the audience a big surprise.

"You are noble, you are amazing!"

"Everyone in the world bullies me because I am honest and weak. I just want to achieve the highest level step by step. I don't want others to bully me anymore. I want to be Zhao Gao, one person below one person and Zhao Gao above ten thousand people!"

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

Back in the capital, Zhou Yutang participated in two Spring Festival Gala rehearsals.

The first part was mainly about the program review, and it passed easily. This was the person named by the leader. Besides, the song "Where Has the Time Gone" is really good.

During the rehearsal, I met the hosts by the way. The hosts of this year’s Spring Festival Gala are Zhou Tao, Zhu Jun, Zhang Zequn, Dong Qing, Ouyang Xiadan and Ren Luyu.

Zhou Yutang had dealt with Ren Luyu and Dong Qing at the award ceremony before.

Sister Dong Qing enthusiastically introduced him to the others, and Zhou Yutang even signed autographs for Zhou Tao and others.

Professor Zhou was so popular that several female hosts were staring at Zhou Yutang.

I have to say, Sister Tao is really beautiful.
At the end of the rehearsal, Zhou Yutang and his team of assistants were about to leave when they heard a familiar voice.

"Wow, isn't this my brother?"

"Aren't you MM?"

"uh-huh."

"How did you get here?"

"I'm here to perform."

Zhou Yutang stopped and looked at the rehearsal program in the lounge.

Seeing Jia Lin wearing a white shirt, short skirt, long boots and a burgundy vest, holding teacher Bai Kainan's hand and jumping around coquettishly, Zhou Yutang really couldn't help but laugh out loud at such a visually impactful scene.

"Short piece?"

Mao Xiaoyu also took a look inside, and his pupils were shaking.

"Zhou Yutang?"

After the rehearsal of the show ended, Jia Lin probably heard the movement outside, and her face was filled with surprise.Zhou Yutang smiled slightly: "Hello, Jia Lin, long time no see, you seem to have lost a little weight."

"Have it?"

Jia Lin said proudly: "It's not bad. I've only lost a dozen pounds. You've become very popular recently."

The two chatted briefly at the door for a while, and Zhou Yutang left first because he still had a schedule.

On the other hand, Bai Kainan, who was also a disciple of Feng Hu, said with some envy: "Lingzi, do you still know Zhou Yutang?"

"Hmm."

Jia Lin nodded: "Have you not seen "Want to See You"? I starred in it."

I thought about how at that time, I was forced to make a living and had to work as a part-timer in a drama crew to support my family. Now I am focusing on cross talk, and I have appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time in my life.

I was a little proud at first, but when I thought of Zhou Yutang again, all those arrogant thoughts disappeared.

This guy is progressing too fast.

Compared to him, who are you?
Professor Zhou is the dream of hundreds of millions of girls, and he is still a little Karami.

Ouch!

Jia Lin slapped her forehead.

I just remembered Silly Music and forgot to ask for Zhou Yutang’s autograph and photo.

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

"Hello, Sister Zhou Xun."

"Yifei, hello."

Liu Yifei greeted politely, and Zhou Xun's eyes quickly turned between Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei, with a meaningful and playful smile on his face.

It should be said that the two women must have met in some activities before, but they were not familiar with each other, and they were not outgoing in front of strangers. At most, they were nodding acquaintances.

But with Zhou Yutang in the middle, Mr. Zhou took the initiative to express his goodwill: "Yifei, you and Yu Tang's "My Love from the Star" were really great. I have been following it these days."

Liu Yifei is also very sensible: "Sister Xun, you did a good job in "Li Mi's Conjecture"."

The two women quickly closed the distance.

"Yu Tang, I have to thank you for what happened last time."

With Liu Yifei here, Mr. Zhou touched the cigarette case and found that he was not smoking after all. When he saw Zhou Yutang's eyes falling on her hand, he couldn't help but smile.

"What's going on?"

"Yu Tang asked me to buy some Huayi shares."

Zhou Xun felt a little happy when he thought about it.

After listening to Zhou Yutang's words, I bought some initial shares of Huayi Company. This time I directly made tens of millions of dollars. This was probably the reason for the dinner today.

"Small things."

Zhou Yutang raised the teacup and took a sip: "Sister Xun, have you reached an agreement with Mr. Wang?"

"It's settled. When the contract expires this year, I will leave for free and then set up my own studio."

Zhou Xun shrugged his shoulders, as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "By the way, I'm quite interested in that acting school you mentioned. How do I get there?"

She held her chin in her hand, and Liu Yifei looked at Zhou Yutang with her beautiful eyes unblinking.

"Teaching is conducted in stages. In the early stage, there will be a professional actor class to help actors with existing acting experience solve problems in acting practice. Later, depending on the situation, we will add a newbie class and an advanced professional actor class."

Zhou Yutang explained the thoughts in his mind. Zhou Xun nodded repeatedly and said seriously: "I think it's very exciting. If we join forces, we can definitely make it big."

Stop pretending, sister.

You have no business talent at all.

Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly: "Anyway, let's do this for the time being, and we'll look at the rest later."

In fact, Fan Xiaopang set up an acting school after Huanzhu became popular, and she became the principal at the age of 21 at the time.
After he came out to work alone, Fan Xiaopang's studio invested in and filmed the TV series "Rouge Snow" and "Jin Da Ban". Almost all the supporting characters in the TV series were students from the school, but they did not cause any splash.

But Zhou Yutang is not doing this to make money, it is a private acting tutorial.

This is inspired by Liu Yifei and Jing Tian. In addition to professional acting courses in schools, if you can get some guidance from famous teachers, there will indeed be a huge impact on these actors who are just starting out or have limitations in their acting skills. s help.

Liu Yifei wants to make progress.

Zhou Yutang helped her.

By the way, artists from your own company can also be sent there to study hard. Brother Long dreams of improving his acting skills.

In addition, you can also see if there are any good seedlings worth cultivating.

I have been talking to Mr. Zhou about the acting school for a while, and it is tentatively decided that the two of them will fund it together, with each person taking half.

After having a pleasant meal by the way, Zhou Yutang saw that it was almost time, so he stood up and wanted to leave.

"That's it for now, I have something else to do later."

"Hey, what's the matter with leaving a beauty like Yifei here?" Zhou Xun joked.

"Meet Zhang Yimou."

"what?"

Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment, and Liu Yifei explained in a low voice: "Sister Xun, Director Zhang asked him to talk about the new play."

have to say.

Some people are really naturally energetic.

For example, Lao Mouzi was probably really unconvinced. Not long after "Three Guns" was completed, the team released news that they would soon restart the previously completed "Hawthorn Tree Love" and start a nationwide of casting.

The last time the hype was to invite Zhou Yutang to star in "Three Guns" it was pure hype, but this time Zhou Yutang really received the contract for "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", so he came here specifically to meet Lao Mouzi.

"Director Zhang, why are you looking for me?"

"You have a very clean temperament. I think you are very suitable for this role."

Zhang Yimou was wearing a black sweater, holding his elbow with one hand and his chin with the other, looking at Zhou Yutang, nodding slightly as if it was not easy to notice, and showing a smile:
"Yu Tang, you can read the book first,"

He found Zhou Yutang to play the leading actor Sun Jianxin in "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

Zhou Yutang took over the script that was not too thick on the table.

He reads the script very quickly, and this script is also very simple. It tells the whole process of the heroine Jingqiu and the hero meeting, getting to know each other, getting to know each other, and getting separated.

Well, an innocent, clean love story.

But it ends in tragedy, just like hawthorn, beautiful and moving, but tasting sour.

Zhou Yutang closed the script and shook his head slightly: "Director Zhang, this is a very good story, but my schedule is already full and I may not have time until the middle of the year."

"I want to use a new actress for the heroine. I may wait until the second half of the year to start shooting. It's completely late."

Zhang Yimou pondered for a moment, and said with expectation in his tone: "If it doesn't work, I can adjust the shooting time."

The national teacher was very sincere, and Zhou Yutang was also quite honest: "Director Zhang, I'm really sorry, but I actually have a movie script in my hand, and I may have to wait until next year to start filming, so..."

The script of "Hawthorn Tree Love" is good.

Lao Mouzi and his own lineup are also considered to be luxurious and top-notch, and the box office will definitely not be low when the time comes.

But Zhou Yutang is already at the ceiling of youth films, and he won't be able to improve if he plays such roles again.

At this point, Zhang Yimou also understood it, but his self-restraint was extraordinary after all. He asked politely: "What type of story is your book?"

"The story of a little sir from the bottom of society who overthrew a big man who could only hold the sky with one hand."

"Very interesting subject."

The Imperial Master's eyelids twitched slightly, and he seemed a little curious. He asked about the script. When the show was over, he stood up and shook hands with Zhou Yutang. His smile remained the same:
"I have watched every one of your plays and I am looking forward to this work of yours."

"Xiao Zhou, did you really refuse?"

"Ah."

"I told Sister Xun that you would definitely refuse. I was right."

I received a call from Liu Tianxian in the evening. His voice was soft and sweet, which was very annoying.

Liu Tianxian is very happy to have met a new friend, who is also the winner of three gold medals in Best Actress.

Mainly because she felt that Zhou Yutang opened this acting school because of the young master Zhou she introduced.

That wonderful feeling of being cared about.

Not to mention how sweet it was in her heart.
