Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Another day of shooting is over.

Zeng Jia chatted with Yang Mi in the hotel suite: "Mimi, these sisters in Northern Xinjiang are quite famous now."

"This is a new person that the company wants to promote."

Yang Mi looked at the script and answered casually.

But I was wondering in my heart how I should act in the scene tomorrow.

Her hard work gave her many opportunities.

But there is also a downside.

That is, it is easy to confuse the characters of different plays.

For actors, different plays have different performance rhythms.

Filming a TV series is okay, Yang Mi’s acting skills are enough to handle it.

But that’s not the case when it comes to making movies.

Despite the fact that Zhou Yutang is usually kind and easy to talk to.

In his crew, if there are actors who are slow to get into the mood, then you can see what it means to be a tyrant on the set.

Even Gao Yuanyuan was almost made to cry by Zhou Yutang on the first day.

Yang Mi felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

Tomorrow's scene with Wan Qian.

It was like the urgency and pressure of the upcoming college entrance examination, which made her palms sweat.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou is going to spend resources to support him. This is the rhythm to become popular."

Zeng Jia was still reading the news on the Internet.

Or it could be the arrival of the god Gulina Zami from "The Traces of the Sky".

Or it's the invincible Dilrabasi from "Running Man".

There is a lot of news about the dual beauty of Northern Xinjiang.

At first glance, it seems that there is a press release to promote it.

Zeng Jia frowned slightly and turned off the news: "Mimi, I watched the last scene of the crew. It's not good for you to figure out the role by yourself."

"Didn't you also help me with the lyrics?"

"I'm not a professional."

Zeng Jia turned around and said, "Don't Director Zhou live upstairs above us? If you don't understand something, you can ask him in advance."

"That's not good?"

Yang Mi paused while turning over the script.

"What's wrong?"

Zeng Jia, however, disagreed: "It's normal for the director to guide the actors into the play. Don't be too burdened. Director Zhou is definitely a gentleman. Several girls in the crew are courteous to him, but he remains unmoved."

Yang Mi's expression twitched slightly.

He is a gentleman.

The sun can even come out from the west.

During this time on the set, even a blind person could see Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Yutang's intimate gestures. The relationship between the two was unusual.

Yang Mi put down the script, a little hesitant and a little excited.

Finally I couldn't hold it back anymore.

Sent a message to Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang quickly replied:

"I have something to do tonight."

There is indeed something going on.

Zhou Yutang often tells plays to Gao Yuanyuan at night.

It’s not just about connecting and communicating, it’s also about drama in the true sense.

Previously, there was a lot of criticism of this sister's acting skills on the Internet.

Zhou Yutang also had full understanding in advance.

I only found out after in-depth cooperation.

Gao Yuanyuan has not received any formal education, and her acting skills are even worse than she expected.

Why so red?

The face is in the country.

Although Zhou Yutang tried his best to help her get into the mood, she still failed frequently and had to retake many scenes.

Slowed down the overall progress.

Now that we have decided to make this movie.

Then try your best to do your best.

Zhou Yutang could only turn on a small stove for Da Meiyuan at night.

He wants to make the role of Ye Lanqiu one of the most classic roles in Gao Yuanyuan's acting career.

Late August.

"Overheard 2" was finally released after a grand premiere.

Zhou Yutang naturally received an invitation to the premiere from Huo Wenxi, but since he was on the set, he asked Li Shuang to attend on his behalf.

Between shots, rest time.

Zhou Yutang took a look at the box office data on Maoyan and called Huo Wenxi to congratulate him.

"Congratulations to Sister Mani, the box office performance is good."

Amid the joint efforts of several Hollywood blockbusters in August, Mak Siu Hui and Chong Wenqiang relied on Hong Kong films to hold up the scene with their underpants cop films.

The box office revenue on the first day of release was 18.8 million. Based on the online reputation and reviews, it can definitely be regarded as a commercial film with quality above the passing line.

"Good luck."

Huo Wenxi was indeed in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "A Tang, when will the filming be completed on your side?"

"Probably until September."

"Let's get together in the capital then. The drama "The Art of Mind" will be aired soon. Also, let's talk about "Slaying the Wolf 2"."

"Okay, Sister Mani."

"So she fell in love with you, and you fell in love with her too?"

When she said this line, Wan Qian's throat moved and her voice was slightly difficult.

"sorry."

The muscles on Zhou Yutang's face were also twitching slightly.

He crossed his fingers and lowered his gaze, feeling faintly guilty, as if he didn't dare to look at her again.

"If it's love, there's nothing to be sorry for."

Wan Qian pursed her lips tightly, pretending not to care, but in fact her voice was trembling: "Have you gone to bed?"

Zhou Yutang shook his head.

"When did it start?"

"When I knew I would never see her again."

Thinking of the beautiful woman's eventual demise, Zhou Yutang's expression was painful, and there were tears in his eyes.

"Understand, heart-breaking love, as a woman, I fail so much."

"I did everything I could, but I still couldn't get the person I loved to love me back."

When Zhou Yutang came to comfort her, Wan Qian stood up and avoided it.

Two people broke up. At this time, women don't need such mercy.

I opened the refrigerator door, wanting to take something, but ended up taking nothing, so I closed the door again.

After sorting out his emotions, he turned around and comforted Zhou Yutang: "You don't have to feel guilty, let alone be embarrassed. No matter what happens, you have to face it."

"You've taken care of me for three years, and I haven't even taken care of you for a day. I'm not a thing."

"This is my failure and has nothing to do with you."

Wan Qian opened the refrigerator door again, took out two bottles of beer, handed one to Zhou Yutang, and said with a relieved smile: "Cheer up, you lost your job, and I lost mine."

"You lost your lover and I lost mine."

"We're going to start over and have a farewell drink."

The man and woman raised their drinks and collided with each other in the sunlight coming through the window.

"Card."

As the filming of the final breakup confession scene ended, it was already September.

Zhou Yutang checked and confirmed that there was no problem with the lens, and finally faced the eyes of many people on the crew and said those words of relief,

"Thank you everyone, "Search" is finished."

"Oh ho!"

"Director Zhou is beeping!"

The crew instantly became excited and lively.

"So fast."

Chen Hong couldn't help but sigh: "It took more than a month to finish a movie. If I hadn't been personally involved, I might not have believed it."

She is a producer herself and knows the inside story.

If he were to be the king of sunglasses, he would have to sharpen his sword for several years.

Even my husband, Brother Kai, who has been famous for a long time, cannot do it so concisely and efficiently. He can do up to 30 shots a day.

Zhou Yutang's crew is like a tightly operating machine, and the crew members are like parts of the machine.

With Zhou Yutang's scheduling, it ran in an almost perfect manner.

Sometimes I can even shoot 100 shots in a day, which is commonplace.

"Director Zhou is like this."

Despite his young age, Chen Xi is actually an old producer who has worked on several films with Zhou Yutang. He explained with a smile: "He rarely shoots useless shots. It seems that he knows how the picture should be in advance."

"Xiao Chen, you are not bad either."

Chen Hong was generous in his praise.

She found out.

Zhou Yutang's efficiency is so fast.

The producer named Chen Xi also made great contributions.

Arrange the production schedule in an orderly manner.

"Director, I learned a lot during this time on the crew."

At the closing banquet, Sister Chen Hong seemed a little excited and took the initiative to hold a glass of red wine to express her gratitude.

Mrs. Chen was so polite, so of course Zhou Yutang had to give her face and smiled slightly: "I also learned a lot from Sister Hong through mutual exchanges."

I don’t know if it was Chen Hong’s own feeling or Poet Chen’s guidance behind the scenes. She came to talk to Zhou Yutang several times.

The main reason is that I feel that my role is not outstanding enough, and I think she should be allowed to finally get rid of the shackles of marriage.

It means she wants to add drama.

Some big celebrities in the industry will basically bring their own screenwriters when they join the team, modify the scripts, add drama to themselves, and make their characters more shining.

But in Zhou Yutang's crew, he has the final say in everything.

It is impossible to add drama.

"Search" is an adaptation of a novel, and there is also a title called "Death on the Internet", which is about cyber violence.

Adding a middle-aged relationship crisis scene between Chen Hong and Shen Liusu will not do any good to the theme.

Her ending was made clear.

It's also very logical.

Mo Xiaoyu, played by Chen Hong, after learning about Ye Lanqiu's tragic experience, deeply regretted his actions and murmured: "I will never repay the debt I owe Xiaoye."

Since then, she has devoted herself to charitable donations for lymphoma and other related diseases.

Atone for your actions.

Chen Hong drank a lot of wine in the evening, and his face was a little red: "I hope there will be opportunities to continue cooperation in the future."

Zhou Yutang smiled slightly: "I will definitely do it if I have the chance."

""Search" has been completed, and the new generation of great directors is actually a quick shooter!"

"Zhou Yutang recently returned to Beijing in a low-key manner, escorted by two bodyguards. He refused to be interviewed throughout and looked serious."

"There is a suspected change at Jiangdong Entertainment, and a senior executive switched to LeTV Pictures."

It was originally scheduled to go to Hengdian to visit Liu Shishi on the set of "Scars in the Sky", but an unexpected situation occurred at the company, and Zhou Yutang had to rush back to deal with it.

As soon as the plane landed, there were already many news reports on the Internet.

"Yu Tang, are you okay?"

After receiving Liu Shishi's call, Zhou Yutang felt warm in his heart and said with relief: "It's not a big problem. It's a pity that I can't go over to see you."

"It's okay with me. You deal with the company's affairs first."

Liu Shishi was very sensible and smiled gently: "Anyway, we will be able to meet each other when we film "Xiu Chun Knife" next."

After her, Liu Yifei, Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan and other women also called.

After replying one by one, I received a call from Xu Ming.

He was silent for a long time, and finally apologized frankly: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry. I really can't refuse the conditions offered by Mr. Jia."

"Um."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "Do it well in the future."

No fussing.

No extra money was offered to retain him.

We just chatted for a few words and hung up the phone directly.

Job hopping is normal.

He also often poached people, so he couldn't help being poached, not to mention that he paid a fairly generous liquidated damages.

When I came to the company, I called Li Shuang directly for a meeting: "Sister Shuang, when did you start contacting me there?"

"Probably last year."

"What does Boss Jia want to do?"

"I heard that I want to form a team to make a homemade drama."

LeTV took advantage of the GEM trend and became the first listed company in the domestic video industry. It was an instant hit.

I originally wanted to bring Zhou Yutang into the game and did a lot of public relations, but never succeeded.

Boss Jia spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy various copyrights like crazy.

But various capitals are entering the market.

Copyright prices for various drama series have increased across the board.

In the past two years, it was a fantasy for a single episode of online broadcast rights to exceed one million, but now it is commonplace.

If you don't spend money, there are many people who are willing to spend money.

I have to say that Boss Jia has a good vision and layout.

LeTV Pictures was established and a plan was formulated with the goal of independently producing TV series with above-average quality.

Xu Ming used to be the boss of the TV series department of LeTV Pictures.

His passing will have an impact on Jiangdong Entertainment.

But the impact is not big.

After all, the person at the helm of Jiangdong Entertainment is still Zhou Yutang.

All the core projects of the TV series are all in the hands of Zhou Yutang. Xu Ming himself is the executor. His ability to organize and produce dramas is limited, but he just earned a lot of honors.

"Lao Xu is still doing things steadily, but his vision is a bit low."

Li Shuang shook his head: "The company's TV drama business department will be split off separately soon. It is really irrational for him to leave at this time."

"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It's good to suffocate for dreams with Boss Jia."

"Yu Tang, your plan is a bit big."

Li Shuang sighed with emotion.

"I'm not very ambitious. If LeTV wants to negotiate business in the future, the price will have to go up a few points."

Zhou Yutang smiled and tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically: "Sister Shuang, notify the TV drama business department to come over for a meeting."

This time he leaves.

Some people in Jiangdong Entertainment's TV drama business department are probably even happier than during the Chinese New Year.

He's there.

No one has a chance to stand out.

Now there is no one standing in the way.

Isn't the opportunity to rise to the top just coming?

Things were just as Zhou Yutang expected.

Except for Jiang Xuezhen, who is still on the crew of "The Trace of the Sky".

The eyes of the other deputy managers in the company were shining with unconcealable ecstasy and ambition.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou for wrapping up his new drama."

Several deputy managers said polite words, and one of the more senior ones was the first to speak with indignation: "I didn't expect Old Xu to be such a person."

"There are dreams in life, and each one is wonderful."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "Now that he is gone, don't mention this name again. Come and report on the company's TV drama project plan for the second half of the year."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

The deputy manager who was pointed out by Zhou Yutang perked up, stood up in the envious eyes of everyone, and reported with the prepared information: "The company's TV drama project in the second half of this year, the participating investment in "The Art of Mind" will be in "Snow on Thousand Mountains" will be aired this month and we are still negotiating the price with the TV station. As for "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", the preliminary preparations will take a long time."

"In addition, "Reply 1997" is already being filmed, and the film "Reply to the Sky" is also in the filming stage."

Compared with the various blossoming film departments, this year's TV drama business department is somewhat underwhelming.

Last year, there was the big project "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but this year the main projects are only "Shanshan Is Here" and "Reply 1997".

"Bu Bu Jing Xin" co-produced with Tang Dynasty is not a phenomenon-level hit drama.

After listening to the brief report, Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: "Go and inform Jiang Xuezhen to shoot Liu Shishi's scenes there in advance. She will soon have another film in "Xiu Chun Dao"."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

"Let me tell you briefly."

Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers on the table: "In the company, no matter which department, all employees are my brothers. We work together to make the company bigger and stronger."

"There are two more dramas planned for the second half of this year."

Let Mao Xiaoyu turn on the projector.

All eyes.

All fell on the PPT on the curtain.
