Entertainment: I really want to make progress

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 "Latent" is highly praised in the industry. Mr. Han has also read it carefully and was quite shocked.

He had never thought before that Zhou Yutang, who started out as a youth campus drama, could tell a story with a main theme so attractively.

From Mr. Han's professional perspective, this project will basically not make a loss, and 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 presented himself with an excellent opportunity to earn fame.

Mr. Han smiled happily.

With this additional relationship, the distance between the two people has become much closer invisibly. Han Sanping took the initiative to speak: "Yu Tang, how are the early preparations? Do you want help from China Film Group?"

"It's almost done. We can start filming this month and it's expected to be completed 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 film the drama "Latent" first. I have a few immature ideas, but the specific script has not been written yet. When it is completed, I will let Mr. Han review it."

"Okay, 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 Mr. Han talk to you about?"

"There's nothing to talk about."

"There's nothing to talk about. I'll keep you for more than two hours?" Sister Shuang said she was speechless.

"We talked about the TV series "Insidious", which has a main theme + espionage. It is a genre that has never been seen before. Mr. Han was still very interested. China Film 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, but it turns out it was to wait for China Film."

Sister Shuang suddenly understood and looked at Zhou Yutang as if she were 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 and said: "Mr. Han helped me with the filming schedule of "Those Years" last time. This time I reciprocated the favor and even talked about my next movie."

"What's your next movie?"

"Not sure yet. We'll wait until "Latent" is finished filming."

"How did it feel after communicating with Han Sanping?"

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

"Haha, Yu Tang, you may not know much about Han Sanping's energy now, but you will slowly understand it in the future."

Li Shuang concluded happily: "In short, joining the China Film Group will be very beneficial to the development of you and the studio."

In early April, the most eye-catching film in the domestic film industry was "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Disarm" directed by Li Rengang.

This major production, with a total investment of over 100 million, stars Andy Lau, one of Hong Kong's four kings, and Hong Kong's big brother Da Hong Pang.

Even before it was released, there were already lots of press releases.

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 his brain circuit was.

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

Seeing An Zhijie and Yu Rongguang fighting each other, one shouting "Long Live the Great Shu" and the other shouting "Long Live the Great Wei", Zhou Yutang was so embarrassed in the cinema that his toes were 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 Hong Kong gangster film.

The layout was too small, and the final box office was only over 40 million. The market gave Director Li the best answer.

Time flies by quickly, and it’s late April in a blink of an eye.

The crew of "Latent" has completed preliminary preparations.

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 at all, the actors chosen are all very professional and have done hard work in advance.

The story of "Latent" is very simple. It mainly takes place after the surrender of Neon in 1945. The male protagonist Yu Zecheng lurks as a spy in the Military Command Bureau, the highest intelligence agency of the Kuomintang.

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, and is in charge of the 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 prepared in advance.

The director is Mr. Jiang Wei, and the assistant director is Wen Muye. Lin Yufen is not here. Sister Fen will be filming the second and third seasons of "Welcome to School Together" 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.

In order to keep up with the filming schedule, the professionalism of the staff and actors is very high. The team of Jiangdong Studio has also been following all the way from "Those Years", and there is no doubt about their professional ability.

The cast this time is quite different from "Want to Meet You" and "Those Years".

All powerful factions.

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

In order to experience Wang Cuiping's living conditions, she went to Zeng Li, who had been a village girl for several months.

Teacher Zu Feng is also good at acting, and Feng Enhe and Wu Gang need not be mentioned, they are all seasoned actors.

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

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 guest role in "Latent" as 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 character is not annoying either.

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

"Ah! Look at those people who are now officials. They talk about doctrines, but they only care about business in their hearts!"

"When there is peace in the future, there will be no more doctrines. What will there be? Only money. Do you believe it or not?"

"Now there are two gold bars here. Can you tell me which one is noble? Which one is dirty?"

A real talker.

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

This year he is so popular that he brings a wave of traffic and attention to his drama.

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

The actors in the crew also quickly got into the mood.

The early stage of filming went very smoothly. When it was not Zhou Yutang's turn to play, he sat behind the monitor and acted as assistant director to Mr. Jiang Wei.

By the way, I secretly learned 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 formed his own style through his own observation of some details.

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 scenes were filmed ahead of schedule again.

There's nothing I can do about it, he's been so popular lately and is much busier than the other actors in the crew.

Today was a night scene.

Yu Zecheng was making dumplings at home and testing Xie Ruolin's part.

First, a few people were making dumplings while talking and laughing, and Wan Qiu helped Yu Zecheng roll up one of his sleeves.

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

Cuiping is a very straightforward woman. She immediately took action and rolled up Yu Zecheng's other cuff and said rudely:

"Sister, you are a scholar. If your tender hand touches his elbow, he will wet his pants."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

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

"Click, do it again!"

Teacher Jiang Wei shouted at the side to stop, and took the initiative to tell the story: "In the scene just now, Wan Qiu's eyes should be a little softer, with a bit of throbbing emotion. If you like Yu Zecheng, you should express your love for him." emotion"

Zhou Yutang was relieved. Teacher Jiang Wei knew that this person had a background and was usually very polite. After teaching Zhu Jie, he turned around and started to arrange the scene again:

"The camera of camera No. 3 should be careful to capture Cuiping's back. This is a woman in an angry state. Footsteps and movements are very important. Camera No. 2 should focus on Song Wen's expression. Song Wen should be careful to show some guilt on her face. , all departments are ready to start!”

It got stuck a few times at Zhu Jie's place, but then the shooting went smoothly.

Everyone is an experienced actor and they work together very well.

When Cuiping saw Wan Qiu looking at Yu Zecheng, she turned around and went into the kitchen. Wan Qiu quickly moved up to kiss Yu Zecheng's face. Zhang Songwen made a very subtle dodge movement, and briefly After the shock, he lowered his head in silence to make dumplings.

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

When the atmosphere between the three of them was a little awkward, Zhou Yutang appeared on stage with a slicked back hair, a decent suit, his hands in his pockets, and a graceful appearance.

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

This is also the only scene in the entire drama where Xie Ruolin's character reveals his true feelings.

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 one shot took a whole night to shoot.

Mainly, Teacher Jiang Wei's requirements are very strict, and 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 to express it.

"Director Jiang, Mr. Zhou, the 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, Jiang Wei, Zhang Songwen, Feng Enhe, and Wu Gang sat together and played skewers.

Director Jiang Wei nodded and praised: "Xiao Zhang is good, he has lively eyes and good acting skills. 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 are still scenes to be filmed later, and drinking affects my state, so I will drink water instead of wine, and do it first as a token of respect. I will definitely give a toast to all the teachers another day."

After saying that, he drank a large bottle of Coke and burped, which made everyone laugh.

This little Zhang is named Zhang Guofeng. He is an ensemble actor. With his superb acting skills, he won the role of Shengxiang, the Chief of the Archives Unit of the Secrecy Bureau.

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

"Chief Sheng, I feel like you don't even act."

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

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

Zhang Guofeng knew that Zhou Yutang was the investor father of the crew, and he said with a flattering smile: "I usually just think about it and integrate myself into the character. Compared with several teachers, I still have a lot to learn."

Teacher Feng Enhe asked: "Xiao Zhang, your accent sounds like you are from the Northeast?"

"I'm from Lu Province."

Zhang Guofeng said with a naive smile.

"Hey, I'm from the same hometown as Director Jiang."

"very eloquent."

Teacher Jiang Wei whipped up a bunch of mutton skewers and said with emotion: "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, she went to the countryside of northern Shaanxi for several months in order to play this role well."

"No wonder, the rudeness and shrewdness of rural women are performed very well. She is really a good actor."

Teacher Jiang Wei nodded and gave high comments.

After returning to the hotel after filming the night scene, Zhou Yutang always felt that something was wrong. While 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, I immediately called Uncle Hat.

That night, the local police station struck hard and took away the fugitive whose pseudonym was Zhang Guofeng but whose actual name was Ji Shiguang.

"Zhou Yutang, how did you know it was a fugitive?"

"I have always had a good memory. When I saw something during filming, I felt familiar. I felt like I had seen him somewhere. When I had a photo of him while having a late-night snack, he missed his accent. I suddenly remembered that I had seen him wanted on TV before. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed like it. After confirming his identity, I called the police station to confirm the identity information. It was really him."

"You have done a great job. This man is very cruel and cunning. In 1998, he and his accomplices robbed and killed someone on the street. What they robbed was a sir. Several people in the gang used knives and injured the sir to an 8th degree. He is disabled and can only walk with the help of crutches. Now that he is finally caught, I want to thank you on behalf of that colleague."

"The legal network is open and there are no omissions. This is all my responsibility."

Zhou Yutang went to take notes. Because the incident had such a great impact, the local director took the initiative to salute Zhou Yutang and 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 executive and casting director.

This Zhang Guofeng was also someone he recruited. He was a well-known supporting actor in Hengdian. He had a good relationship with several group leaders and producers. No one expected that he had such a criminal record.

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

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

This guy is really cunning. After the team committed a crime, he ran away decisively. At that time, surveillance was not yet popular, so he bought a fake ID card and openly lived under the identity of Zhang Guofeng for almost ten years.

At first, I worked in a KTV selling drinks, but I didn't dare to show my face. Later, I found out that I didn't reveal my secret, so I even worked as a temporary stage host. Over the past few years, I became more and more courageous, and I went directly to Hengdian to work as an extra.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

He really made a name for himself.

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

"Is he really a fugitive? Are you really brave enough to become 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 in the industry, I have never encountered such a weird thing.

"Hey, Shishi, I'm fine."

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

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

Last night, the extremely popular Zhou Yutang was taken into the police station. The media reporters squatting next to the crew looked like they were celebrating the 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 like wildfire.

All in all, it’s full of heat.

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

"I am sworn in with sin!"

The photo of Zhou Yutang shaking hands with the local police station chief made headlines.

I have seen celebrities make headlines for scandals while filming, but I have never seen celebrities make news for arresting fugitives. Yang Mi and Tang Yan were convinced. They felt that Zhou Yutang was really lucky.

After such an episode, the crew of "Latent" 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" in Hengdian. He had just finished filming and was about to return to Beijing. When he received the news from Zhang Songwen, he joined the cast on the same 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 guy's acting skills are quite good, and both director Jiang Wei and Zhou Yutang are very satisfied with him.

The filming of "Insidious" went very smoothly.

In May of 2008, the domestic atmosphere was somewhat heavy due to the incident in Southwest China.

Zhou Yutang was still filming in Hengdian at this time. He asked Sister Shuang to donate 1 million in the name of the studio, and also donated a large amount of daily necessities.

Zhou Yutang watched Zhang Songwen and teacher Feng Enhe play 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 secret painting that Yu Zecheng and Lu Qiaoshan found from Ma Kui's house, with an extremely wonderful expression on his face: "The snow-capped mountains have been cold for ages, and they are photographing Mount Emei alone, and they are also riding horses to photograph them. It has a romantic temperament, isn't it?"

"Okay, passed! This part is really amazing!"

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

Director Jiang Wei is not the only one who is confident.

The leading actors are becoming more and more confident as they perform.

Zeng Li played the role of Wang Cuiping as a village girl for several months, and Zhang Songwen put in a lot of effort.

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 behavioral patterns, tone of voice, and gestures, I communicated countless times with Zhou Yutang, the script writer, and director Jiang Wei, and finally concluded the most appropriate way of expression.

Zeng Li, who was rated as a good actor by teacher Jiang Wei, was caught by her best friend Hu Jing when she sneaked back to her room in the middle of the night: "Wow, you are such a beautiful girl. I wonder why the room door keeps opening every night for no reason." If you open it like that, you might as well stay in your good brother's room every day."

Originally, the crew arranged single rooms for the leading actors, but Zeng Li and Hu Jing were close friends, so she specially requested a double room.

Hu Jing was very moved.

After a while she regretted it.

I thought Zeng Li was deeply in love with her sister, but I didn't expect that she was using her as a cover to go out at night to date her lover.

Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

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

"Haha, who talks about scripts until midnight?"

Hu Jing glanced at the clock hanging on the wall with an expression that looked like you were lying.

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."

"Don't you dare talk nonsense again!"

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

"Mimi, "Classmates" will be aired on June 22nd. Remember to set aside time for promotion. Tangtang has already notified her. She has no problems. The script for the second season of "Classmates" has been completed and is ready. Shooting is scheduled to start in July.”

Zhou Yutang called Damimi to discuss work while holding the beauty in Tsing Yi.

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 down-to-earth daily life of ordinary college students and the story of the growth of several leading actors 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.
