China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 405: The old artist is really a god

Jiangdong Entertainment has announced its TV series plans for the second half of this year.

It has been confirmed that it will land on JS Provincial Channel. The upcoming workplace drama "Misheng" and several TV drama projects including "Reply 1988" and "Gu Jian Qi Tan" have been established, and they have quickly attracted countless attention.

"Haha, "Reply 1988" stars Shi Shi, so Zhou Yutang still has some conscience." - The Little Lion of Huaguo Mountain

"@zhouyutang, the heroine of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" Wall Crack recommends Mimi!" - Mimi has great advantages

""Wei Sheng" is finally coming out. Does anyone know when "Celebrating More Than Years" will be finished?" - Sunshine Boy Xu Sheng

"Looking at the materials on Tieba, Zhou Yutang finished filming in May. The filming will probably be completed by the end of June, and the broadcast will have to wait until the end of the year." - There is a little lolita in my family.

There are many comments on the Internet, and fans call for the idols they support every day.

Zhou Yutang has received two interview shows in the capital in the past two days and continues to promote "Bouquet of Love".

In the movie market, the box office of "Avengers" has been fixed at 5.7 million, and it has finally been released.

"Men in Black 3" has also struggled to cross the 5 million threshold, but it is also unsustainable. The stranglehold between these two Hollywood blockbusters has just ended.

A number of cartoons and fantasy movies, including "Pirates", "Mirror Mirror" and "Madagascar 3", have been released one after another, kicking off the early part of the summer season.

"The Conjuring" is now at the top of the horror film industry, and Hollywood film companies are all studying this North American box office harvester.

After topping the weekend box office list, Warner increased its promotional efforts in the second week and still recorded a box office of US$4503 million.

All of Hollywood was shocked.

No one expected that such a dark horse would suddenly appear.

However, "The Hunger Games" will be released in the middle of the month, followed by Disney's cartoon "Brave", which may have a certain impact on the box office.

But judging from the current situation, this is already an incredible box office miracle.

Many film and television companies in Hollywood have set their sights on Zhou Yutang, the screenwriter of this film.

Two consecutive films have made their mark in Hollywood, and Zhou Yutang's Hollywood spokesperson Zou Zhong sent invitations from several Hollywood film and television companies to purchase scripts with huge sums of money.

But they were all politely rejected by Zhou Yutang.

He is very busy right now. He just finished a variety show on Guangguang here in Beijing, and then flew directly to Shanghai to participate in this year's Shanghai International Film Festival.

"Love Like a Bouquet" will serve as the opening cinema film of this Shanghai Film Festival.

As soon as Zhou Yutang arrived in Shanghai, he was taken away by Ren Zhonglun's special car, leaving Tian Ming, who was about to pick him up, to run away.

"Yu Tang, do you really want to invite You Benchang to star in "Now You See Me"?"

Ren Zhonglun was still a little doubtful: "The old man is almost eighty this year, is it okay?"

"It should be no problem. The old man just made a cameo in "Painted Skin 2"."

Zhou Yutang has great confidence in You Benshang.

The first person I approached was Li Xuejian, but he was filming a major drama with a main theme, and the schedule couldn't be coordinated.

Then he got the contact information of Mr. You Benchang through Ren Zhonglun.

We contacted him several times in private, and the old man was still very energetic and very interested in the drama.

Zhou Yutang has always respected those capable veteran actors.

For example, Mr. Li Shang, the guest acting instructor who just joined Yamashita Academy, is a well-known eunuch professional, the great eunuch Wu Liangfu in "The Young Emperor", Cao Zhengchun, the Dongchang factory supervisor in "The Best in the World", and the eunuch in "Royal Flower" Manager Li Lianying.

In fact, he is a national first-class actor.

In the 94 version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his role as Chen Gong is a classic. Even the dubbing of dozens of people including Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang, Tai Shici, Yang Song, Han Sui, Lu Su, etc. were all done by him alone, and every role was done by him. The recognition is very high.

The better the acting, the better the character.

When he acted with Deng Chao in "The Young Emperor", he took great care of him. Later, when Zhou Yutang chatted with Deng Chao, Deng Chao kept mentioning him.

There are also some veteran actors with very good acting skills, such as Teacher Wu Gang, who took the initiative to get close to Zhou Yutang and maintained a good relationship, hoping to pave the way for his children.

What surprised Zhou Yutang was that Li Shang had clearly stated that his children would not be allowed to enter the entertainment industry.

This couldn't help but make Zhou Yutang more respectful.

The entertainment industry, a glitzy place, is like water in the waves, with some being clear and some being turbid.

Some actors of the older generation are indeed upright.

The teacher you met this time, You Benshang, is also an old artist who is rarely respected by Zhou Yutang.

It is said that one is established at thirty, but You Lao is still playing a minor role at the age of fifty.

Later, "Jigong" was broadcast, and a vivid image of Jigong appeared on the screen.

Wearing a torn monk's robe and shaking a torn cattail leaf fan, he was wild and unrestrained, but he was also willing to fight against injustice and be charitable.

That year, 52-year-old You Benchang became famous all over the country.

Many young people may not have seen Jigong's style, but they have probably heard the popular lyrics "The shoes are torn, the hat is torn, the cassock on the body is torn...".

Teacher You Benchang looked sunny and handsome when he was young. Zhou Yutang looked at the photo and always felt that he was somewhat similar to Hu Ge.

I heard that Teacher You liked the taste of the food at Moss Holy Garden, so the meeting place this time was decided to be at Moss Holy Garden on Huanghe Road.

The moment they met, Teacher You Benchang stood up on his own initiative with a smile on his face: "Mr. Ren, just make a phone call. We also specially booked a hotel."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Although You Lao is old, his eyes are bright and he is still energetic. Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and stepped forward to shake hands and give him a hug: "Yes, I grew up watching Teacher You's plays, so just call me Yu Tang. "

Zhou Yutang was polite and respectful towards this senior man with both virtues and talents.

He is good at communication, and with Ren Zhonglun, a local from Shanghai, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After three drinks, Zhou Yutang laughed warmly and said: "After much thought about the characters in this play, only Teacher You can live and eat. Does Teacher You have any other arrangements for the next three months?"

"I have longed for movies since I was a child. After acting for so many years, I have never been able to get one."

You Benchang readily agreed: "It's rare that Yu Tang likes an old man like me, so there must be no problem."

After just having such a relationship, his evaluation of Zhou Yutang also reached a very high level in his heart.

You are almost eighty years old, what kind of storms have you not experienced?

Although You Benchang doesn't belong to any circles, he has heard from the younger members of his family that the young man in front of him is the fastest-rising CEO in the Chinese entertainment industry recently.

To see what a person's personality is like, just look at the people around him.

Dragons do not live with snakes.

How many people in the circle can Ren Zhonglun help with?

Zhou Yutang only needed to make a phone call to facilitate this matter, but he personally hosted a banquet and wine to entertain the guests, which was extremely polite.

Carefully observe this young man's attitude. That kind of respect is definitely not fake.

The two chatted happily at the table.

When we meet today, Zhou Yutang is actually somewhat selfish.

Before he came to power, he admired people like Mr. You who could keep their true feelings in the glitzy entertainment industry.

I also highly admire what he said:

“You must love the art in your heart and devote your life to it, but you must never love yourself in the art.”

After talking about Mr. Yu Benshang, the last important piece of the puzzle of "Now You See Me" has been completed.

The Magic City belongs to Ren Zhonglun, and the huge posters of Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei are clearly arranged in the film exhibition area.

Both of them are completely bare-faced, but they still can't hide their handsomeness and beauty.

What is shown is two people in the stage of passionate love, looking at each other with eyes that seem to be connected by thin threads.

The media swarmed in, and Zhou Yutang accepted a wave of interviews. The entertainment reporter was most concerned about gossip: "Director Zhou, why didn't Liu Yifei come with us?"

"She has an endorsement announcement, which may come a few days later."

"Then what do you think the box office of "Love in a Bouquet" will be?"

"When I make a movie, the most important thing is that I like it."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "As for the box office, the audience will give the answer."

Okay, okay, you are the king of the domestic box office, and everything you say is right. Entertainment reporters are all veterans. It is rare to catch the Governor of Jiangdong, so there is no reason to let him go.

The crowd surrounded him excitedly and almost stuffed the microphone into his mouth.

News is very timely. We haven't even finished the interview here, and then it made the headlines of major entertainment portals and became a hot search on Weibo.

Li Xiaoping from Guangguang also came over with the crew of "Four Famous Catchers".

Also scheduled to be released in July, "The Four Famous Catchers" is scheduled to be released in late July, and we have begun to spare no effort in promoting it.

"Sister Xiaoping."

"Yu Tang, long time no see."

Li Xiaoping asked with a smile: "I saw your poster, it was really well shot."

""Four Famous Catchers" is also good."

"Director Zhou, won't you attend the red carpet of the opening ceremony?"

Wen Yongshan, who was following Li Xiaoping, saw Liu Yifei's absence and asked with a hint of hope.

"I won't participate."

Zhou Yutang did not attend the opening ceremony red carpet. He no longer needs such exposure.

However, I was dragged by Ren Zhonglun to participate in the director forum, and there were many big names who came back.

Nicholas Meyer, the director of the "Star Trek" series of films, Gary Kurtz, the producer of "Star Wars" and "Americana", is also a film selection consultant for many famous film festivals such as Venice, Montreal, and Rotterdam. Shelly Kresser.

Many of them handed Zhou Yutang their business cards.

If we say that Chinese movies in the first 10 years belonged to the era of three major directors.

Well, Zhou Yutang, now a leading figure in China's generation of young directors, has emerged and become a banner in China's film industry.

Having just won the Best Director crown in Berlin at the beginning of the year, "The Conjuring" is still raging in the film market and is famous even internationally.

After the opening ceremony, there were people watching at the film festival, so Zhou Yutang took a stroll to Magnolia next door.

Also at the Magnolia Awards Ceremony in mid-June, I scanned my face and entered the backstage. I met Liu Shishi in the lounge, who was doing the final makeup preparations.

Seeing the familiar figure reflected in the mirror, Liu Shishi stood up suddenly, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on his gentle and beautiful face:

"Why did you come here quietly without saying a word?"

"Come and see you."

Zhou Yutang pulled up a chair, sat next to her, and asked with a smile: "How are you, are you nervous?"

"not bad."

Liu Shishi smiled and said: "There is not much chance of winning the prize today. The important thing is to participate."

"You always have to have dreams, what if you can win a prize."

"If you really win the prize, I will promise you a condition."

"real or fake?"

Zhou Yutang's eyes lit up: "Anything can be done?"

"I'm talking about Magnolia."

Liu Shishi winked at Zhou Yutang: "The conditions cannot be too outrageous."

There were many people in the lounge at this moment, and she was really afraid that Zhou Yutang would make some ridiculous request.

"Isn't there a director's meeting at the Magic City International Film Festival?"

"It's not interesting. Come and see you."

"What do I have to see?"

Liu Shishi's tone was a bit arrogant, but his lips slightly raised into a dazzling smile.

When Liu Shishi attends such award ceremonies, most of the dresses she chooses are relatively conservative.

The same is true today.

A pink haute couture dress with lace embellishments on the neckline and cuffs, revealing a delicate and beautiful swan neck.

That slender waist can only be held in a hand, walking in a pure and sweet style.

The people responsible for the first sister's makeup were all people from Aileen Studio, and they were old acquaintances with Zhou Yutang. Everyone was going crazy with their aunt laughing.

I should be under the car, not in the car, watching how sweet you are.

Jin Daxi in the lounge suddenly felt redundant.

Fortunately, Liu Shishi relieved her embarrassment: "By the way, didn't you say that Jin Chen's dance was very beautiful?"

"what?"

Jin Daxi was slightly stunned. How could she be called out while she was eating dog food?

Zhou Yutang glanced at her with a chuckle: "It's really a good dance."

Jin Chen's heart skipped a beat, he waved his hands repeatedly and pursed his lips modestly: "No, no."

It was actually a bit of a surprise to be praised by Zhou Yutang. Jin Daxi felt like he had eaten a piece of iced watermelon in the dog days of summer.

"I have been studying with Jin Chen for a few days and I already know how to do it."

"Well, Sister Shi Shi dances very well."

Jin Daxi also sent a rainbow fart to save face.

This girl has a cheerful and lively personality, and she can have fun with Liu Shishi. They have been practicing dancing together for the past few days.

Several people were talking here, and another group of people learned the news that Zhou Yutang was here and came to say hello. The lounge suddenly became lively.

Good guy, three of the five powerful TV dramas nominated this year have come.

Huang Haibo, Zhang Jiayi, and Nie Yuan all came over.

Jin Daxi looked at the luxurious lineup in front of him and was secretly speechless.

Even more powerful are Director Zheng Xiaolong and Ms. Huo Wenxi who arrived next.

One is a gold medal director of a veteran domestic TV series, and the other is a strong woman from the Yinghuang Group.

These two people often appear in news reports, so Jin Daxi is naturally no stranger to them.

"Director Zheng."

"Sister mani."

Zhou Yutang greeted each other and chatted casually. It was obvious that they were all old friends.

That year in Magnolia, I listened to the big guys chatting, and Jin Daxi stood there like a minion.

Fortunately, many of the big shots in these circles were busy and didn't talk much. Just after sending these two away, another person came.

But she is a middle-aged woman who still has charm. When she saw Zhou Yutang, she instantly smiled:

"Mr. Zhou, you didn't even say hello when you came here."

"Sister Tang, you won't blame me for coming uninvited, right?"

"If anything, it's not too late for me to be happy."

After listening to Zhou Yutang greet her and introduce his identity to Liu Shishi, Jin Daxi realized that this was Tang Lijun, executive deputy secretary-general of the Shanghai TV Festival Organizing Committee.

Jin Daxi suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Brother, you are really a god.
