Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Lu Yang is a senior fellow at Zhou Yutang Film Academy.

His father is a professor of Chinese opera, and he has been influenced by his father since he was a child. Coupled with his own talent, he took over the filming of some short films when he was still in college, and became famous in the director circle.

After receiving a call from Tian Zhuangzhuang, his heart beat unsatisfactorily, and without any hesitation, he immediately ran to Tian Zhuangzhuang's office.

"Come here so soon?"

Tian Zhuangzang was also a little surprised. It had only been ten minutes since he called.

Zhou Yutang didn't even finish reading the script, and everyone had already arrived.

"Teacher Tian, ​​Teacher Wang, hello Mr. Zhou."

Lu Yang gasped for air.

His appearance seemed a bit mature, but it was obvious that he was not the kind of person who was good at interpersonal communication. After knocking on the door and coming in, he saw two teachers and Zhou Yutang talking, a little reserved, but also very polite. They said hello one by one:

"I rented a house next to the school, not far away. I came over after receiving a call from Teacher Tian."

He came here at lightning speed.

Zhou Yutang, the God of Wealth, is a dragon that never comes to an end. He rarely comes to school because he is really afraid that he will slip away.

"Brother Yang, I'm waiting for you."

Zhou Yutang also greeted him warmly. This was not the first time that he and Lu Yang had met.

Lu Yang made his debut with "Cinema for the Blind" which won the KNN Award for the New Wave Section of the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea. It was funded by the New Director Support Fund he allocated to the Film Academy.

Seemingly noticing that Lu Yang was a little reserved, Zhou Yutang took the initiative to get up and pour him a glass of water.

Tian Zhuangzhuang and Wang Jinsong looked at each other and smiled.

have to say.

Whether it's talking, doing things, or dealing with people, Zhou Yutang does everything flawlessly.

Within a few words, Lu Yang gradually relaxed.

Everyone is on their own, and there are no polite greetings.

"Brother Yang."

Zhou Yutang took the initiative to lead the conversation: "Teacher Tian always mentioned you to me, saying that you are a rare talent in the directing department. I haven't finished reading this script yet, but I can tell that it was written with great care and quality. "

It’s not that I’m deliberately praising him.

The script called "Xiu Chun Dao" in Lu Yang's hand really made Zhou Yutang's eyes light up.

The story is simple.

It tells the story of the late Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne and began to eliminate the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and his party members. The three brothers Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan, who were at the bottom of the Jinyi Guards, were forced to get involved in this political incident.

The rolling tide of the great era is intertwined with the fate of the little people.

Amidst the intrigues and intrigues, we see brotherhood, tragedy and heroism.

After reading the script together, we started chatting. It was already lunch time and the two teachers had a meeting in the afternoon. Zhou Yutang and Lu Yang went outside to find a hotel room to chat.

Lu Yang's expression was filled with hope: "Mr. Zhou, how are you doing?"

"Brother Yang, just call me Yu Tang."

Zhou Yutang asked with a chuckle: "I personally think that this script is very good. If it is made into a movie, the market effect should be good. Brother Yang, how did you come up with the idea of ​​writing the script "Jinyiwei"?"

He simply gave a positive evaluation, which made Lu Yang feel flattered.

He would not treat Zhou Yutang as a simple film school student.

But his script was positively evaluated by him, and a smile burst out on Lu Yang's face unconsciously: "I was suddenly inspired when I was watching a movie."

"At that time, I thought that a story about a young samurai falling in love with a doctor's daughter would be interesting, so that the characters would be established first. Later, when I read the novel, I felt that the flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife had a very unique beauty. At that time I wanted to make a good-looking costume film, and I had a head start on the theme of Jinyiwei. Then I discussed with my friends the specific character settings, plot direction, plot clues and other things about the general structure and direction. I have a friend who helped me a lot. Chen Shu who helped me make "Cinema for the Blind"

"We slowly wrote the script together. In fact, we started working on this script last year. Chen Shu and I wrote one draft, and she wrote another draft, and then we worked together to set the plot over and over again. , and slowly I came up with the current script.”

"I read the budget project document. Do you plan to invest 20 million?"

Zhou Yutang flipped the script to the end.

Lu Yang really worked hard.

In addition to writing the script, I also made a budget plan for the entire film project.

When he got to the point, Lu Yang quickly answered: "Ideally, it would cost 20 million to shoot. Of course, the cost can also be further reduced. The costumes and props don't have to be so elaborate, so it would be about 15 to 18 million. It can be done, and theoretically, the effect should be similar.”

Although Zhou Yutang is a few years younger than him.

But at this time, Lu Yang felt really uneasy.

The film and television industry is all about seniority.

It's not that easy for a new director to take the lead.

Opening his mouth was an investment of 20 million, and he was afraid of scaring Zhou Yutang away.

"Brother Yang."

Zhou Yutang closed the script, smoothed the wrinkles, shook his head and laughed: "You haven't signed with the company yet, right?"

"No."

Hearing this, Lu Yang's heart began to beat loudly.

He accurately obtained the information Zhou Yutang released towards him.

"Are you interested in signing a contract with Jiangdong Entertainment?"

After pouring a glass of beer for Lu Yang, Zhou Yutang glanced at his expression calmly and began to draw a tempting pie.

"Brother Yang, we are all on our own. To be honest, the script of "Xiu Chun Knife" is good and suits my taste. I can invest in it. The budget is mentioned to you at 40 million. There is only one requirement: to make it a high-quality product."

"Serving Hua Dao must be consistent with history and strive to be precise. When the time comes, I will invite experts in Ming history to come over and join your team to help you fill in the details of the script."

"At that time, if the box office is within expectations, I plan to make it into a series of movies."

"."

The tempting pie knocked Lu Yang unconscious.

Hearing that Zhou Yutang had doubled his budget, his mind was buzzing and he felt as if he was about to lose oxygen with excitement.

After drawing the cake, giving Lu Yang some time to digest, Zhou Yutang asked in a leisurely manner: "Brother Yang, what do you think?"

Zhou Yutang is famous for not mixing in circles, but now Jiangdong film and television culture has become a banner in the Beijing film and television circle.

The ancients said that a good bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Lu Yang wants to realize his ideals and ambitions, and Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Company can provide him with a good stage. Wen Muye is following Zhou Yutang, and now he is about to take control of his first film. A film project by a well-known new director in the industry.

With Wen Muye Zhuyu in front of him, Lu Yang agreed to Zhou Yutang's invitation without any hesitation.

He drank the glass of beer on the table and said: "Yu Tang, I don't have any problems here. But when the time comes, I want to bring Chen Shu and a few friends to join the group. They are very professional." Qiang, they all follow me and become the old team members of "Cinema for the Blind"."

"Of course. If they haven't signed the company now, they can come with you, Brother Yang."

"real?"

Lu Yang said with endless surprise.

"When the time comes, you can go directly to the company to find Lin Xiong from the film business department, and he will make arrangements."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly and felt a little happy.

If Jiangdong Entertainment wants to develop, it cannot be carried out by him alone.

Recruiting talents is essential.

I thought it would be a surprise to receive Lu Yang, but I didn't expect that there was a buy one get one free offer.

Lu Yang also has his own small circle of contacts. The movie "Cinema for the Blind" was made by him, Chen Shu and a few friends.

To be able to win an award at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, there is no doubt about the professional ability of this team. In the future, with a little training and adding talents to the team, they can be put to good use.

This way.

In the near future, Jiangdong Entertainment will have another professional behind-the-scenes team.

One is to feel the power of capital and deliberately move closer.

The other one was secretly happy after receiving a great beating from a worker.

These two people also went in both directions.

This film project was decided at a small restaurant outside the school.

With such a relationship, the distance between the two people has become much closer.

They are all professionals in film and television, and they all talk about topics in the film and television industry.

Lu Yang listened to Zhou Yutang's talk and was secretly impressed.

Before he interacted with Zhou Yutang, like his classmates at the film school, he was actually a little curious.

After all, Zhou Yutang got his career to where it is now in a short period of time.

But after the in-depth exchange today, Lu Yang felt more and more admired.

Zhou Yutang's professional ability is indeed very strong, especially his insights and views on the film and television industry, which made me feel enlightened and inspired.

pity.

Zhou Yutang is a busy man. When he received a call and something happened, he left first.

Lu Yang stayed in this small restaurant by himself, looking at his script and feeling inexplicably happy.

Ton! Ton! Ton!

He blew out a whole bottle of Snow Beer on the table and called Chen Shu and several friends who were not far away.

"You guys come with me and sign a contract with Jiangdong Entertainment."

"We will go wherever you go. Does Zhou Yutang really want to invest 40 million?"

"What he said must be true, and he wouldn't even make this joke on me."

"My Cao, Zhou Yutang is awesome!"

"It's 40 million at once, when are we going to do it?!"

There is also a kind of flame called ambition burning in the eyes of the friends.

"Tomorrow, we will go to Jiangdong Entertainment to sign the contract. Then Yu Tang will invite Ming history experts to come over and confirm the details of the script. When will it be launched? We will follow the company's arrangements. Jiangdong Entertainment will definitely launch more than one drama."

Lu Yang had the style of a general and immediately made appropriate arrangements.

"Then what are you waiting for? Cheers!"

Several beer bottles clinked together.

Makes a crisp sound.

It is the wonderful harmony of dreams and ambitions being fulfilled.

The 18th College Student Film Festival Awards Ceremony was held in Beijing in mid-May.

Zhou Yutang arrived early and went backstage before arriving at the red carpet ceremony.

For a celebrity like him, the organizer had already prepared a separate lounge for him backstage.

Bald Xu and his friends were the first to come over to say hello. They saw Zhou Yutang chatting happily with Fan Xiaopang. Fan Xiaopang was laughing so hard that he reached out and hit Zhou Yutang lightly.

A question mark slowly appeared on the shiny bald head.

Weiwei froze at the door for a few seconds.

Just when he was thinking about whether he should withdraw, Zhou Yutang's eyes were already looking over.

"Yu Tang, Binbin is here too."

Xu Guangtou laughed awkwardly and said, "I entered the wrong room."

He responded quickly, but the thought "I won't interrupt your good things" written on his face made Zhou Yutang a little speechless: "Come in, I just happened to talk to Teacher Fan about your movie. I didn't mean to invite you." Is there a popular female star making a guest appearance? I found it for you. What do you think of Teacher Fan?"

Zhou Yutang and Fan Xiaopang really didn't do anything bad today.

We hadn’t seen each other for a while, so when we met on such an occasion, we just sat backstage chatting and joking.

When Bald Xu heard this, his eyes lit up instantly behind his lenses. He didn't care whether he was disturbed or not, and said with a polite smile: "It would be great if Teacher Fan could come."

Baldy Xu is very enthusiastic about the first film he is about to direct.

As long as there is no schedule, I go to Jiangdong Entertainment every day.

It just so happened that Ning Hao's bad monkey was also in the Jiangdong Building, either discussing scripts in the Jiangdong Entertainment screenwriting department or harassing Ning Hao.

After working day and night like this, the script of "囧囧" was finally completed. The plot of the movie is very simple. Xu Zheng, Wang Bao'er, and Huang Bo went abroad to Thailand, and encountered "enemy" snipers along the way, and staged a ridiculous story. .

Continuing the light-hearted and funny style of "The Lost Way", a popular female star appears at the end of the script, which is an Easter egg and surprise for the audience.

At this stage, the domestic entertainment industry is talking about the most popular female stars.

Fan Xiaopang, who is at the peak of his appearance, said he was second, but no one dared to say he was first.

She doesn't even have to act, she's absolutely eye-catching when she gets there.

Baldy Xu immediately thought of Fan Binbin and told Zhou Yutang several times, but he didn't expect Zhou Yutang to handle it so easily.

"Don't call me Teacher Fan, just call me Binbin."

Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes at Zhou Yutang charmingly and asked with interest: "Director Xu, when will the filming of this movie start?"

"You have to ask Yu Tang about this."

Xu Zheng looked at Zhou Yutang eagerly, who chuckled softly and said: "The filming will start in July or August at the latest. You don't have many roles. Take a few days to come and make a guest appearance."

"I'm OK."

Fan Xiaopang readily agreed.

"Embarrassed" was the biggest dark horse in last year's Lunar New Year movie. It is said that even Zhou Yutang participated in the screenwriting work of this year's "Embarrassed in Thailand".

It is planned to be released during the Lunar New Year this year, and it will definitely have the potential to continue the momentum of the previous film.

Such an opportunity.

Even if Zhou Yutang hadn't asked, Baldy Xu would have invited him through the normal channels, and Fan Xiaopang, who is extremely enterprising, wouldn't have missed it.

Seeing Zhou Yutang chatting and laughing, he pulled Fan Binbin over. Baldy Xu knew that the relationship between the two was unusual. When he thought of the Thai Jon movie lineup getting stronger and more publicity stunts, he started to smile.

It wasn't until he noticed Zhou Yutang's eyes glancing behind him that Bald Xu suddenly remembered that he had brought a friend here, and quickly introduced him:

"Yu Tang, Binbin, this is Yang Qing, the director of "Nightclub", and this is Kimi"

This Kimi is not the little guy who sang Little Star in "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
