Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Classmate Xiao Liu, you are such a little fool."

Zhou Yutang felt warm in his heart, hugged Liu Tianxian tightly, and the gentle smile in his eyes became stronger:

"Several scripts have been prepared a long time ago. It depends on which one you like."

"Really!?"

Liu Yifei raised her head, with an uncontrollable surprise on her beautiful little face.

"Classmate Xiao Liu, I am an upright and honest person. When have I ever told lies?"

"You are obviously the best at coaxing people."

"Seibao."

Zhou Yutang said this, and he started to be dishonest.

"Go back and read all those scripts. Read them slowly and choose the one you like best."

"Oops, not here"

"Old Cao, what do you say over there?"

Cao Huayi had just returned home. Gai Lili, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, couldn't help but get up and ask.

As Cao Huayi's virtuous wife, Xinli Media is able to grow bigger day by day, and she has a share of the credit.

"It's done."

Cao Huayi was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Lao Wang has a good relationship with him. He nodded. He just has something that he wants me to help with."

"What did he ask you to do?"

Galli asked slightly curiously.

Cao Huayi changed into his slippers, walked into the living room, and said with a smile: "It's his new play "Search", and he is going to invite Chen Hong to star in it."

"This... is a bit difficult."

Gai Lili suspected that she had heard wrongly, and her expression twitched slightly: "Chen Hong is now a producer, how can he take on the role?"

We were old classmates at first, and now we have contact in private. We are all good friends, so of course we know each other well.

"If it's easy, then you still need my help?"

Cao Huayi poured a glass of water, took a sip, and said with a smile: "You have to talk about this matter."

"What do I say?"

"Brother Kai also owns shares in Xinli."

Cao Huayi rolled his eyes and quickly came up with an idea: "This is "Yue Fei", which Xinli has invested a lot of money in. He definitely doesn't want to lose money. This time he finally invited Zhou Yutang to the platform, but there is a person over there. The condition is that Chen Hong should be invited to audition for his new play."

Chen Hong is not just good-looking.

Her acting skills are also good for certain types of roles.

Diao Chan in "Three Kingdoms" is still deeply memorable.

Princess Taiping in "Ci of Daming Palace", opposite Gui Yalei, did not fall behind at all.

Chang'e in "Splendid Spring and Piggy" is even more a classic among classics.

Unfortunately, after getting together with Poet Chen, this great beauty gradually faded out of the film and television industry and became an indispensable butler in Poet Chen's professional team.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

In the audition room, Zhou Yutang clapped his hands and actively expressed his appreciation: "Sister Hong, you did a great job."

She was just asked to try out the role of Mo Xiaoyu in the play.

That is Shen Liusu's wife.

A lady who depends on a domineering president for her life.

After Chen Hong married Poet Chen, she took care of her husband and raised her children. She didn't even need to act like a married woman, it was so full that it almost overflowed.

"Director Zhou, please stop praising me. I haven't acted in a long time."

Chen Hong was not embarrassed either. There was a smile on his face that still had charm, and he felt very relieved.

She was praised all the way.

But what kind of person is Zhou Yutang?

The first director of a commercial film with a box office of over one billion in China, he is now so popular that he does not want to be second-guessed.

Being flattered by others and being recognized by Zhou Yutang are completely different concepts.

"If there's no problem, it's settled."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "This drama will start filming in August."

"So fast?"

Chen Hong was slightly surprised: "Have all the preparations been completed?"

"We have been making preparations in the first half of this year."

“So professional.”

Producer Chen Meiren suffered from an occupational illness and praised her.

"Sister Hong."

Zhou Yutang chuckled softly and said: "You don't have many scenes. It will be completed in about two weeks."

"I'm OK."

Chen Hong readily agreed, stood up on her own initiative, and shook hands with Zhou Yutang: "Yu Tang, I haven't acted for a long time. I might make a fool of myself in a while. Don't laugh at me."

"Anyway, Sister Hong, happy to cooperate."

"I will spend my whole life supporting you, and I just hope that you will stop your wandering eyes."

In the recording studio, listening to Da Mi Mi's sweet voice, singing at the top of her lungs, Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly, turned around, and asked the team of professional recording engineers following him:

"What do you think?"

"That's great, Mr. Zhou."

"OK, totally OK. I didn't expect that Mimi is still a buried singer. Mr. Zhou, you have such good taste."

"The main thing is this song. The melody is catchy and Yang Mi sings it pretty well. It's a small flaw, but it's not a big problem."

Have a rainbow fart with the professional music production team beside you.

Zhou Yutang shook his head, pursed his lips slightly, and did not laugh out loud in a professional manner.

Yang Mi just came over after finishing filming on "Painted Skin 2".

Of course she wasn't asking Zhou Yutang to comment on her sexy nightgown, but the song she had been promised to her had been delayed for a long time.

After Yu Zheng was rushing to produce the TV series "Palace", Yang Mi also joined the cast of "Reply 1997".

Time was tight, so Zhou Yutang took half a day to take her to record the song.

For the song "Providence of Love", he still composed lyrics, composed music, and arranged.

Just now, the professional music team almost made Yang Mi a diva-level singer with her sweet words.

In fact, the problem is huge.

The song has a gentle tone and is not very professionally difficult, but for Damimi, who has no musical foundation, it is still a bit over the top.

"Yu Tang, how was my singing?"

Yang Mi came out of the recording studio and asked a little excitedly.

She just sang this song, which perfectly integrated the emotions of her character in the drama "Palace". She was almost moved to tears by herself.

The offering of love is simply perfect!

Zhou Yutang put his hands on his shoulders, supported his chin, and nodded seriously: "There is a lot of room for improvement."

"Hate."

Yang Mi gave the man a rather resentful look: "Can't you coax me?"

If you coax her and she talks again, she will be glib.

Women are really difficult to deal with.

Zhou Yutang shook his head and pointed out the problem: "The main problem is that the pitch is slightly out of tune, but it's not a big problem. If you try it a few times, you will always find the right tune. If it doesn't work, we still have a tuner."

The professional music team following him all laughed.

There is a recording studio.

Anyone can be a singer.

"no!"

However, Da Mimi became determined: "I must sing this song well."

This was the first song Zhou Yutang wrote for her, but it was a treatment that even Liu Shishi didn't get.

Regardless of whether the song is a hit or not, she wants to do this well.

Zhou Yutang’s time is precious. It’s not easy to find time to write songs in your busy schedule. You have to show the attitude you should have.

"How about eating first?"

"I'm not going to eat anymore. I asked Sister Jia to buy me some bread. After recording the song, I sent it to Yu Zheng as soon as possible. Then I went directly to the set of "Please Reply" and I will go to the "Search" set when I have time!"

"."

Zhou Yutang was in awe.

The desperate thirteenth mother is well-deserved.

Then let’s have another bitter taste of honey.

……………………

After the audition.

Zhou Yutang finally decided to give the role of Yang Jiaqi to Damimi.

Mainly because of Damimi’s excellent acting skills.

Definitely not because of her selfie in a sexy nightgown

So far.

The casting process for "Search" is also in its final stages.

Zhou Yutang is the male protagonist Yang Shoucheng.

Gao Yuanyuan is Ye Lanqiu.

Shen Liusu invited Mr. Wang Xuexi, an old actor.

This actor has worked with Zhou Yutang in "A Rain of Swords" and was nominated for Best Actor together. His acting skills are beyond doubt.

The remaining role of Chen Ruoxi is still being auditioned.

Actors from our own company currently have no schedule.

Naturally, it is impossible for big stars like Fan Binbin and Li Binbin to come.

If it were Ye Lanqiu, they would undoubtedly take the top spot.

But Chen Ruoxi is only the second female lead and has to play the role of Gao Yuanyuan.

However, these big beauties are not trying to grab it, there are many people who want to get in the position.

"Mr. Zhou, according to the results of the final audition, Yao Chen, Wan Qian, and Zhang Jingchu have the highest overall scores."

While Lin Liang reported on his work, he also used his skills of observing words and emotions.

"Forget it Yao Chen."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his eyebrows.

It's not that her acting skills are not good enough.

The main reason is that he doesn't like this woman very much.

At the beginning of this year, Yao Chen announced his divorce from Ling Xiaosu. At the same time, he posted a short essay on Weibo accusing Ling Xiaosu of cheating, which caused quite a stir.

What is the real situation.

Zhou Yutang also heard gossip from friends in the circle at some parties.

In several dramas before and after, she had scandals with the male actors in the drama.

Last year, Liu Huohua, a loudmouth, accidentally broke the news that Yao Chen met the photographer Cao Yu late when he was filming the movie "Love is Excellent", and the two of them got along very well on the set.

"Zhang Jingchu is not suitable either."

Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers on the table: "Just Wan Qian, you go notify her and confirm the schedule."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Lin Liang didn't ask the reason and nodded in response.

When I received the news that I had passed the audition.

Wan Qian was stunned in place for a long time.

As an unknown actress, she got a role in Zhou Yutang's new play.

It was like being hit by a pie falling from the sky.

There was an indescribable excitement in my mood.

After fighting the monster all afternoon, he still couldn't calm down.

She was still a little confused when she went to the vegetable market. She was buying vegetables and cooking as usual, and no one noticed her.

While eating, she received many congratulatory messages and phone calls from friends.

"Qianqian, the character information published on the Jiangdong Entertainment official website is you?"

"Yes, I just received the notice today."

"Congratulations, you are attracted by Zhou Yutang, you are going to be popular."

I responded to the blessings from my friends and family one by one.

Wan Qian stood on her balcony.

Looking at the distant lights at night, they are as brilliant as stars.

Take a deep breath.

It seems that even the air is filled with fragrance.

I feel that the whole world has become better.

Wan Qian returned to the bedroom with a smile.

I turned on the computer and began to read the script that had just been sent to my mailbox seriously.

To get such an opportunity.

Of course it should be cherished.

There are still a few days until launch.

She wanted to fully understand the role of Chen Ruoxi.

Use your acting skills and strength to tell Zhou Yutang.

His choice was not wrong.

Casting confirmed.

There are many actresses in the industry who envy Wan Qian.

Before that, she was an unknown actress.

He was actually able to get the second female lead in Zhou Yutang's new drama.

Too lucky to say anything.

Zhou Yutang is at Gao Yuanyuan's house.

Start redrawing the storyboards of "Search".

Because there was no on-site survey before, I just sketched it briefly.

Now that it’s basically settled, we need to do it more meticulously, which can speed up the shooting progress.

The story of the movie "Searching" is very simple.

The main line is media events, and the auxiliary line is emotional entanglements.

After the "not giving up her seat" incident was exposed by the media, Ye Lanqiu became a woman symbolized by social media.

Being raped by humans and raped online.

A beautiful but morally corrupt mistress with flaming red lips.

The role of Ye Lanqiu seems to be tailor-made for Gao Yuanyuan.

Zhou Yutang was drawing the shots when he heard faint sobbing. Gao Yuanyuan looked at the script and seemed to have put herself into it.

Zhou Yutang put down what he was doing and took the initiative to comfort her: "Sister Yuanyuan, why are you crying?"

Gao Yuanyuan put down the script and raised her head, with tears in her beautiful eyes and a soft voice: "I don't want people to see that I am with you."

This is a line from the script.

Listening to this sister's tone of voice, it seems that she has integrated into the character of Ye Lanqiu.

Zhou Yutang was startled for a moment, then his eyes were deep and gentle, and he said in a firm tone: "I want everyone to see that I will be with you every day."

"Really?"

"of course."

"Yu Tang, Ye Lanqiu is really pitiful."

Gao Yuanyuan didn't hold back and threw herself into his arms, her body twitching.

"Sister Yuanyuan, you performed very well in this role."

Zhou Yutang patted Gao Yuanyuan's back gently: "Don't be sad, I'm here."

When it came to coaxing people, he was professional, and his gentle words helped Gao Yuanyuan get out of that fragile state, sorted out her emotions a little, and soon returned to normal.

After all, he is a professional actor, and he can still understand his acting skills and life.

Finding the most comfortable position in Zhou Yutang's arms, Gao Yuanyuan asked: "Yu Tang, do you think I can play this role well?"

"Sister Yuanyuan, why are you so unsure of yourself?"

"The movies I acted in, excluding the cameos in "Sword Rain" and "Anti-Drug", were very box office hits. Now people on the Internet say that I am a box office poison. I'm afraid it will hurt you."

"Since you don't have any confidence, let me help you try the show."

"Yu Tang, you are so kind."

Da Meiyuan took the initiative to give her a sweet kiss.

“It’s all about art.”

Zhou Yutang said solemnly: "Let's do this, Sister Yuanyuan, go and change into your costume and ask for the blue skirt. I'll tell you about the play."

The next period of time.

Zhou Yutang successfully modified and perfected the split shots, and also discussed the lens issues with the film’s assistant director and director of photography.

Wen Muye is currently busy working on the post-production of "Rescue Mr. My Life".

Li Bingqiang stepped in as assistant director. He had also worked with Zhou Yutang on several films, so there was no problem with his ability.

This time, Yang Shu was invited to be the photography director.

This is also Zhou Yutang's senior fellow in the Nortel Photography Department, and he is also the vice chairman of the Tianchao Film and Television Cinematographers Association. "Li Mi's Conjecture" is his work.

Early August.

The preliminary preparation work was completed, and Zhou Yutang led the crew to start filming in Ningbo in a low-key manner.

This time, except for the official Weibo account of Jiangdong Entertainment, which posted the news about the launch of Zhou Yutang's new drama, there was not much publicity.

Even so, it also caused quite a stir in the circle.

Artists under Jiangdong Entertainment all reposted on Weibo to express their support, and Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming and others also followed suit.

"Zhou Yutang actually wants to make a literary film and is not doing his job properly."

"The box office of "Thieves" is expected to be difficult to beat in a short time."

"How much money does Director Zhou make? I guess he wants to make a literary film to win awards, right?"

"Literary films and commercial films are not the same. How do I feel that Zhou Yutang is about to capsize?"

"Haha, someone said that when we were filming "A League of Thieves"."

"Captain, do whatever you want, Jiangdong Navy will always support you."

Previously, Jiangdong Entertainment’s official website announced information about “Search”.

Many people were curious and bought the original novel, which unexpectedly led to a surge in sales of the original novel.

For Zhou Yutang.

Whether you win a prize or not is the next best thing.

He made this movie.

Part of the reason is because of Gao Yuanyuan.

The love between beauties is deep, and there is no way to repay it except sacrificing one's life.

He wants this movie to become the representative work of Gao Yuanyuan's acting career.

Another part of the reason is to accumulate experience for him to make literary films in the future.

Zhou Yutang has never forgotten the movie "Chi Ling" in his heart.
