Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Zhou Yutang has always been a very generous person.

Especially for his subordinates, he is very willing to spend money.

The entire team was exhausted from running the road show during this period. He specially booked a relatively high-standard hotel in Shanghai and invited his entourage to have a meal together.

By the way, it makes sense to bring Yang Mi, Zeng Jia and a few of her assistants.

It can be regarded as a celebration banquet for the staged achievements achieved by "Search".

When the time comes, the capital side will have to open it again, leaving it to Li Shuang to take charge.

This time it’s not about popping champagne at halftime. After breaking through 200 million in the first week, “Search” has realized a considerable part of its potential. The box office still exceeded 100 million in the second week of release. During the same period, the daily box office of “Killing” has dropped to less than 1 million. .

It's just limited by the subject matter. Although it is highly discussed and the box office reached 348 million, it is still inevitably weak, and the daily box office growth continues to decrease.

"Avengers" will be released soon, and the box office will be affected by that time.

After all, the box office market for the May Day block is still a bit small compared to the summer block and the National Day block.

despite this.

"Search" still broke the box office record for domestic literary and artistic films.

During this time, I received congratulations from all directions.

What made Zhou Yutang dumbfounded the most was the job invitations sent by these art film directors headed by Chief Jia.

Berlin was competing for the prize, and the domestic box office was also a hit. This made Chief Jia, who had a close relationship with Zhou Yutang, extremely envious. While making a special phone call to congratulate him, he joked that he would sell the film and book Zhou Yutang's schedule.

Chief Jia also figured out how to play the version.

Due to the subject matter of literary and artistic films, the box office is inherently insufficient.

But a literary film + Zhou Yutang can perfectly combine commerciality. Zhou Yutang's acting skills are not bad, and he has his own traffic exposure. When the time comes, both awards and box office will flourish, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Zhou Yutang naturally declined politely. His work was scheduled until next year, so he had no time to take on outside dramas.

He took two weeks off from the crew of "Celebrating More Than Years", which was almost done. Yang Mi and Gao Yuanyuan will now be the main publicity force, while he himself will temporarily leave the team and return to the crew.

Kong Sheng is a very capable director, Jiang Xueyuan is also a veteran producer, and with the professional team of Jiangdong Entertainment, the filming went very smoothly while Zhou Yutang was away from the crew.

"Welcome Director Zhou to join the team."

When Zhou Yutang returned to the crew, Chen Daoming, who had already joined the crew, took the initiative to welcome him.

"Teacher Chen, thank you for working overtime over there to catch up on the filming."

"Don't say that."

Chen Daoming seems to be aloof, but in fact he is quite easy-going: "This is just a bowl of rice, so it doesn't matter."

Director Kong Sheng also took the initiative to ask: "Yu Tang, you just came back, do you want to rest and adjust today?"

"No."

Zhou Yutang shook his head: "I have already slept on the way here. Let's put on makeup first and start working directly. What we are shooting today is the part of Emperor Qing's family banquet, right?"

A strange color flashed across Chen Daoming's eyes.

He had dealt with Zhou Yutang in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

But at that time, Zhou Yutang only came to visit the cast, and the entire crew was still watched by director Zheng Xiaolong. The two did not cooperate directly. Judging from the current performance, Zhou Yutang is professional enough.

There are many young people in the industry who are so complacent after making some achievements that they don’t know who they think they are.

Zhou Yutang is now sitting in such a high position and can still maintain such enthusiasm for work. He really wants to make progress.

The scene we filmed today was the family banquet of Emperor Qing.

It was Emperor Qing who took Fan Xian and his two sons to dinner, and showed off the imperial palace at the same time, which fleshed out the character settings of several characters in the play.

"Mr. Zhou."

"Yu Tang."

Chen Xiao and Yuan Hong also came over to say hello to Zhou Yutang.

One of them plays the role of the second prince, and the other plays the role of the prince.

"Let's go through the play again."

After Zhou Yutang put on her makeup, she went straight to work without catching up with anyone.

Chen Xiao and Yuan Hong performed quite well.

But in a scene with Chen Daoming, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a little amazing.

The star of the show at Emperor Qing's family banquet was Chen Daoming.

Emperor Qing’s imperial mind.

The prince appears loyal and obedient.

The second prince is arrogant and dormant.

Fan Xian is neither humble nor arrogant and free and easy.

All are reflected vividly.

The recorder made the call, and soon Chen Daoming appeared in the camera of Camera 1.

"It's a family dinner today, so you can order whatever you want."

Chen Daoming led the chief eunuch and walked slowly and slowly. Yuan Hong and Chen Xiao knelt down to show their respect.

Zhou Yutang bowed and bowed.

The difference in personality was immediately highlighted because Fan Xian himself had a special relationship with Emperor Qing. It was mentioned in the previous script that he was allowed to stand whenever he wanted and kneel whenever he wanted.

"Your Majesty, since this is a family banquet, isn't it appropriate for me to be here?"

"You're thick-skinned, that's okay."

Chen Daoming waved his hand and said indifferently.

Yuan Hongdun glanced sideways, his face expressionless, while the second prince Chen Xiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Eat. I'm not feeling well today, so I won't eat anything. I'll watch you eat."

As Chen Daoming turned his eyes, he didn't move his chopsticks when he saw someone, his face darkened, and he slowly uttered one word: "Eat."

The tone was low but powerful. Several people did not dare to disobey and moved their chopsticks one after another.

The eldest prince played by Yuan Hong can be seen as very well-educated even when he is picking up vegetables. He chews carefully and slowly, but is criticized by Chen Daoming for being too heavy-handed and like a piece of wood.

As for the second prince played by Chen Xiao, he was a little more casual and turned on the storm inhalation mode, which got a lot of bad reviews.

"Fan Xian."

"I'm here."

"Which one of them do you like more?"

It originally sounded like an ordinary father and son educating their son, but Chen Daoming's sudden and light words were like thunder.

Yuan Hong's expression became obviously solemn, and Chen Xiao's chopsticks paused in the air.

Zhou Yutang looked around with an expression of surprise and uncertainty.

"Click!"

Hearing Kong Sheng's call to stop, Zhou Yutang asked, "Director Kong, what's going on?"

"Yuan Hong's performance here feels a bit off."

"Yuan Hong."

Zhou Yutang walked over, took a look, and reminded: "You can add a little trick. The role of the eldest prince is actually scheming, and he is not as loyal as he appears on the surface."

"Let me try."

Yuan Hong said gratefully: "Thank you, Director Zhou."

After thinking about it for a while, the shooting started again, and this time the shooting went smoothly.

Chen Daoming even had a smile on his face that was as refreshing as spring breeze, but his voice was undoubtedly as cold as ice to human ears: "Family banquet, you can say whatever you want."

He admired Fan Xian in his heart, but the two princes didn't even dare to raise their heads or express their anger.

"Then I'll just say it casually."

Zhou Yutang put down his chopsticks and looked directly at Chen Daoming: "Your Majesty, aren't you playing with me? This question is equivalent to pushing me into a mountain of fire. No matter how you answer it, it will be a dead end."

"Loyal ministers are not afraid of death!"

"Then if all the loyal ministers are dead, wouldn't all the remaining ones be traitors?"

"Then are you considered a loyal minister? Or a treacherous minister?"

"If your Majesty needs it, I can do whatever you want."

Seeing Zhou Yutang calmly and calmly respond, Chen Daoming's imperial aura was completely captured.

Kong Sheng and several veteran actors all nodded in secret praise.

Zhou Yutang has indeed performed the characteristics of the character Fan Xian, focusing on a satisfying character.

Even Emperor Qing, who was ranked ninth and fifth, could not let him bow his head.

Emperor Qing asked his two sons to comment on Fan Xian, and the result was naturally high praise without exception.

Then he said that no matter who succeeded Fan Xian, he would be an important minister, which made the two of them frightened. They quickly knelt down and said that the saint's life span was boundless to show their loyalty.

"I wish I could live forever."

Chen Daoming glanced at his two sons with his deep eyes: "Are you happy or unhappy?"

Yuan Hong and Chen Xiao lowered their heads.

"Click! Passed."

Director Kong Sheng shouted from behind the monitor.

Chen Xiao and Yuan Hong were relieved.

Don't look at the literary drama just now. They didn't have many lines, but they were acting opposite Chen Daoming and Zhou Yutang, which was a lot of pressure.

Zhou Yutang and Chen Daoming went behind the monitor to see the results of the shooting with Director Kong Sheng.

have to say.

An actor's appearance limits the breadth of roles he can take to some extent.

Chen Daoming also means something like this.

He has always been an actor with a narrow range of acting skills. His appearance and temperament make people know at a glance that he is a high-ranking big shot.

Ying Zheng, Pu Yi, Emperor Tongzhi, and the Eight Sage Kings are all worthy of praise.

Nie Mingyu, the boss in "Black Ice", is even more domineering. Zhou Yutang took a fancy to this and asked Wang Jinghua to help coordinate the schedule and cast Chen Daoming to play the role of Emperor Qing.

But some people are born with a popular face, which makes them suitable for playing small characters. If they are allowed to play those domineering CEOs, the audience will be in trouble every minute.

Now it seems.

Chen Daoming played Emperor Qing vividly.

The most ruthless emperor's family.

He has affection for his son, but not much.

These emotions are definitely not as good as your own great career and reputation.

What surprised Zhou Yutang was that the actor Chen Xiao, who played the second prince, also performed very well.

The second prince's reluctance was well expressed.

He was originally a contracted artist of Huayi Company. Bi Shisan, who had acted in "Welcome to School Together" at that time, his contract with Huayi expired last year, and Zhou Shufang missed him and signed him.

If Jiangdong Entertainment wants to develop its artist brokerage business, recruitment is essential.

Zhang Ruojun's renewed contract with the company will end next year. At that time, he will go out and open his own studio. This matter has already been discussed with Zhou Yutang in private.

It's not that he wants to fly when his wings are strong, but Zhang Ruojun is not a bachelor like Zhu Yilong.

In the future, he will also lead Tang Yixin, a girl from Sichuan and Chongqing, to develop. Jiangdong Entertainment's own female artists are in desperate need of support, so it is naturally impossible to allocate important resources to Tang Yixin.

As for the relationship between Zhou Yutang and Zhang Ruojun, there will definitely not be any change.

When the time comes, he will invest in Zhang Ruojun's studio, which can be regarded as support for his brother.

Chen Xiao's appearance is very good, and he graduated from the Chinese Opera Department. His acting skills and character are also good. He has worked with "Classmates", and the director team of Jiangdong Entertainment has spoken well of him.

Since the end of "Classmate", the two parties have kept in touch privately.

certainly.

The main reason is that Zhou Yutang admires him.

In fact, after "Classmates", Chen Xiao's career developed quite smoothly, and he even starred in Huayi's "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven".

Unfortunately, he was targeted at a certain entertainment event and he would rather jump out of the car than accept the unspoken rules.

Zhou Yutang has the feeling that "this person is like me".
