China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 425: The first director of the new generation

After shortening the promotion period of "Four Famous Hunters", Deng Chao finally joined the cast of "Now You See Me" with the scandal.

"elder brother."

Nazha privately pestered Zhou Yutang about gossip: "You said Brother Chao and Jiang Yiyan are true?"

"not sure."

Zhou Yutang kept his mouth shut and knew what he was talking about.

Deng Chao's state was indeed affected to a certain extent, and the first few scenes were NG one after another.

With his professional level, this is not the case, but he was still affected by the scandals in his life.

Zhou Yutang actually ate melons first-hand.

Wen Yongshan is the heroine of "Four Famous Catchers", so she naturally knows everything about the crew there.

She has tasted the benefits and knows that when she drinks water, she always thinks of her source. In the past, she would occasionally communicate with Zhou Yutang when he was not busy.

Deng Chao and Jiang Yiyan behaved intimately on the set, and were even photographed leaving a hotel by entertainment reporters.

Sun Li was not someone to be trifled with. She went straight to the set, made a scene, and returned to her parents' home angrily with her child in her arms.

What Zhou Yutang was more curious about was how Deng Chao settled this matter.

After he joined the team, Sun Li came over to visit the team. When she was distributing snacks, milk tea, etc. through her assistant, she took the initiative to come to Zhou Yutang and said, "Yu Tang, congratulations, the box office of "Bouquet" will soon exceed 10 billion."

"It's hard to say yet."

Zhou Yutang also smiled softly.

"Bouquet of Love" has left "Painted Skin 2" behind, but after three weeks of its golden period of box office growth, the movie will inevitably go downhill.

Sun Li's kind words made Zhou Yutang respond with a smile.

However, the break was over and the crew had to continue filming. We didn’t chat for too long before Sun Li stood up and left: “Yu Tang, I’m really sorry this time. I have to let him stand on the other side of the light. I really can’t leave. It’s dragging you down.” The progress has been made."

"It's not a big problem."

Zhou Yutang smiled: "Brother Chao is popular and busy. Isn't it hard for Sister Li to take care of the children at home?"

"Fortunately, there is a nanny to help."

Sun Li spoke softly and smiled, as if she was not affected by the scandal at all.

Zhou Yutang also secretly praised it.

As expected of Princess Hairun, she has the bearing of a heroine.

In fact, Guangguang Laowang had already said hello, so of course Zhou Yutang wouldn't take it to heart, but Sun Li came here specially, which was a bit interesting.

First of all, it was to show respect and the attitude was on point. At least Zhou Yutang felt quite comfortable.

Secondly, they also showed to the public that there was no emotional problem between the couple by staying outside the crew to entertain reporters.

"Brother, I think Brother Chao and Sun Li have no problem at all."

Gulinazha, a fool, doesn't understand the undercurrents beneath this storm.

Mina, Mina, if you are put into a harem fight, you will be killed in three episodes.

Zhou Yutang cursed in his heart, but said: "What you feel is not wrong."

He didn't have time to manage his own time, so he didn't bother to take care of other people's housework.

However, Sun Li's visit here seemed to give Deng Chao a shot in the arm. When Deng Chao entered the group, he was still a little haggard, but he quickly adjusted and got into the mood.

The four knights of K organization have different personalities and positions.

Deng Chao's character is a master of hypnosis, and his role is slightly humorous.

He was originally a member of the men's running team and took on the role of adjusting the atmosphere of the film.

The outside world, the film market.

"Painted Skin 2" finally completed its release period, and the total box office was finally settled at 7.02 million.

Da Mimi posted on Weibo that the bees spontaneously organized to watch the movie to pay respect to "Wu-Tang". The box office that day surged to 700 million, which proved the background of A-list actresses, but it did not prevent the movie from being bad.

The total box office is only 3220 million. The film schedule has been cut off, and the daily box office is only a few hundred thousand. It will be released in the next few days.

On the other hand, Guangguang Laowang's "Four Famous Catchers" has exceeded 1.5 million, which is basically confirmed to be able to recover the cost.

"Love Like a Bouquet" is still the best, but just as Zhou Yutang expected, after the third week, the movie box office seemed to be affected by the London Olympics, and the weekly box office fell sharply, reporting 8820 million.

The total box office reached 9.51 million with difficulty. There are still ten days left until the film is released, but the daily box office is already less than million.

Whether it can exceed one billion depends on luck.

The London Olympics opening ceremony was held grandly at the end of July.

This year's finale was a good one, with Beatles member Paul McCartney singing "Hey Judy" in unison with 6 spectators. The scene was quite spectacular.

Zhou Yutang's crew is still filming here, and the progress is gratifying, and there are quite a few people coming to visit the team.

After Sun Li left, the media immediately reported that Deng Chao and his wife were in a harmonious relationship, and then King Liu Tianwang came again.

Liu Dehua came over to the crew, greeted him first, and then went directly to Zhou Yutang: "Atang, this is such a big deal, with a huge investment of 200 million."

"Hua brother."

We are all old acquaintances, Zhou Yutang teased directly: "Your "Fuchuan Mountain Dwelling" also had a huge investment of 200 million."

"That's different."

Liu Tianwang's expression twitched slightly, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

In fact, as a crew chief, you probably know the quality of a movie after it's finished.

How can "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" compare to Zhou Yutang's? Looking at the special effects team, each performing its own duties, I heard that the special effects budget started at 80 million, which made Liu Tianwang secretly stunned.

After chatting for a while, Liu Tianwang did not forget to tell him the purpose of his trip: "Yu Tang, do you have any ideas about this year's Golden Horse Awards?"

"Golden Horse Award?" "Yes."

Andy Lau smiled and said, "That's what I came for."

"Hua brother."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "I may not have time."

His debut film "Those Years" swept across the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan, and received many nominations at the Golden Horse Awards.

I remember that Liu Shishi was also nominated at that time, and he was very excited. The night before the award ceremony, he secretly poked him in the back during his acceptance speech. Zhou Yutang made fun of him and almost got bitten to death by Shishi.

Later, he and Shuai Bi Azu were nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actor. Both handsome Bi were disappointed.

However, what was lost was gained in the east, Zhou Yutang was crowned emperor overnight at the Academy Awards, and Azu fled to the United States.

Then Zhou Yutang began to have bad luck. For several years in a row, his works became hits, and he was nominated for the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards. He also won all the important awards.

A large part of the reason is that he is not "one of his own".

Unless it is public relations at all costs, there is basically no chance of winning the grand prize.

Later, Zhou Yutang didn't attend much. Anyway, he only went to carry a sedan chair for the local people in Bay Province.

now.

He even won the Berlin Silver Bear for Best Director, but the Golden Horse Award is not that eager for him.

Unexpectedly, this time Liu Dehua went directly to the set to hire someone.

"A Tang."

Liu Dehua put his arms around Zhou Yutang's shoulders and said seriously: "I will be in charge this year. If you come over, I will not let you down."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Having said this, what more needs to be said?

"When the time comes, I will definitely support you."

The two handsome men looked at each other and smiled.

it is more than words.

"I think so."

At the end of another day of shooting, the main creators gathered together for a meeting. Hu Ge sounded a little excited: "These three magic shows are throughout this movie. Just thinking about it makes people feel excited."

He and Zhou Yutang had collaborated before on the set of "Big Shot", but at that time they only came here for a few scenes.

This time he is one of the leading actors and has been deeply involved in the entire film and television project. His feelings are naturally different. He has the feeling of being a grassroots bandit and joining the regular elite army.

"Originally, there were several more dazzling magic plans, but unfortunately the film was limited in length, so Director Zhou rejected them."

"What magic?" Hu Ge was a little curious.

"Have you ever seen rainwater stop in the air or even flow backwards?"

Zhou Yutang smiled and showed the magic plan in the computer to everyone, and everyone was amazed.

"If the movie performs as expected at the box office, then this scene can be included in the sequel."

"Are the episodes ready?"

Hu Ge was a little stunned. He felt very novel about this mode, "I have never filmed like this before."

Brother Yi has not made many movies, but the film crews he participated in were disbanded immediately after the filming, and were released to the public.

With such a set of procedures, I was too embarrassed to even publish the draft. Everyone just pretended that nothing happened, and there was no possibility of a sequel.

"When the movie project was approved, Director Zhou had already asked the creative center to work on the derivative framework of the entire real-life crime universe. There should be several movies in the future."

"There is also the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" tomb robbery series. When the special effects company's technology is relatively mature, the project will be started immediately."

Wen Muye, the oldest member of the assistant director team, has a strong say in this.

"Can you still play like this?"

Lao Hu was stunned for a while.

Others are planning to follow his lead in making romance films, but he has turned his attention to creating a crime universe, as well as the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" tomb-robbing series.

The first brother of the Tang Dynasty still has some sensitivity, and he has a vague feeling that the version of the film and television industry may be updated again.

After understanding it, I admired it even more.

It’s not without reason that Zhou Yutang is so popular in the domestic entertainment industry and is promoted to the first director of the new generation.

The work ended early tonight. Zhou Yutang was still working overtime with the special effects team to discuss, and asked Wen Muye to take Hu Ge, Zhang Yi and the main creators, and take Nagasawa Masami and the translator to have supper together.

Director Zhou said that to take good care of international friends, arrangements must be made in place.

The main reason is that the shooting time is tight, and adding a little tacit understanding can help advance the shooting progress.

Hu Ge knows how to create an atmosphere. He also opened a Japanese restaurant and specially hired a chef from Neon.

We chatted during the dinner and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Nagasawa Masami asked curiously: "Director Zhou's crew seems to stay for a meeting every time the filming ends."

"This is Director Zhou's personal shooting habit."

Wen Muye smiled: "I've been with him for a few years, and every movie is done like this. After shooting a plot every day, I will bring the main creator together to summarize the stages, and then sort out the next shooting together."

"Sisi Guoyi!"

Nagasawa Masami covered her mouth in a dignified manner, opened her beautiful eyes wide, and then sighed and praised.

The acting rules of neon actors are that their expressions are slightly exaggerated, but their emotions are extremely smooth.

Wen Muye also smiled.

Actually many years ago.

In the era when Chinese movies were growing wildly, some people did this.

That was the national teacher during the filming of "Red Sorghum".

And the poet who wrote "Yellow Earth".
