Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"I'm coming!"

The media reporters gathered at the Beijing Airport looked eagerly and looked excited.

Soon I saw the bodyguard clearing the way with a vigilant expression, and Liu Yifei, wearing a pair of sunglasses on her face and looking like a fairy, was walking towards her.

Aunt Liu next to her was wearing a floral skirt, smiling brightly, and seemed to be in a good mood.

The box office of "Flower Bouquet" has already reached 700 million, and it is making a killing in Asia. Compared with the domestic actresses, Liu Yifei has a vague feeling of being next level.

"Wow! Liu Yifei! So beautiful!"

"Sissi, what do you think of the box office success of "Bouquet"?"

"Very happy."

Liu Yifei was quiet and easy-going, with a slight pause in her steps and a smile on her face: "Actually, I never thought that the box office would be so high. I am very grateful to the audience for their love and to the director. I think most of the credit belongs to him. "

"It seems that Zhou Yutang did not participate in the road show."

"Director Zhou participated in the first half. He has a tight schedule and still has dramas in hand, so I will run more."

"Yifei, do you know that?"

The entertainment reporter started to stir things up: "You are working hard on road shows to promote, but Zhou Yutang hangs out in nightclubs. Last night, you rekindled your old relationship with Zhou Xun?"

"ah?"

Liu Yifei and Aunt Liu were stunned for a moment.

The smile on Aunt Liu's face disappeared instantly, but Liu Yifei looked calm: "I'm not sure, it's probably a gathering between friends. If I don't have work to do, I would also like to sing K with my friends."

Miss Xiao Liu and Shu Chang are famously close best friends, and their relationship with Zhou Xun is not bad either.

When Zhou Yutang left her to Zhou Xun to teach her acting skills, Mr. Zhou's teaching method was very unique. He took little Liu to go shopping and sing karaoke, and had a great time.

They were not doing their jobs properly and their acting skills did not improve, but the two of them became best friends.

Zhou Yutang mentioned the matter of going to Xiao Wang Club when chatting with Tianxian that night.

Liu Yifei didn't think Zhou Yutang would have anything to do with Zhou Xun at all. This was not Xiao Zhou's cup of tea at all.

She is very confident in herself!

That night.

This has been fully confirmed.

The clouds disperse and the rain collects, after cultivating immortality.

Liu Yifei leaned next to Zhou Yutang and talked about a lot of interesting things she encountered during the road show, and then asked: "Xiao Zhou, are you going to join the group soon?"

"Um."

Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Tianxian, who was just right and soft and round, and couldn't help but kiss her gently on the cheek.

"What about the celebration party then?"

"Let Sister Shuang arrange it, the shooting time is a bit tight."

"oh."

Liu Yifei smoothed her hair: "I have also received a lot of notices. After the performance is over, I will come back and continue to perform in dramas. Do you think I can win awards in the future?"

"Believe in yourself, of course."

Zhou Yutang's hands slid gently on Tianxian's body, which was as thick as snow.

"Really?"

There was light in Miss Liu's eyes.

"Of course it is."

The warm and soft feel brought by those exquisite curves forced Zhou Yutang to say something against his will.

To be fair.

Miss Liu's acting talent is not top-notch.

But at least they are willing to work hard.

As the man behind her, he must stand up and support her.

After the launch press conference, before Liu Yifei returned to the capital, Zhou Yutang took the time to spend a few days with the beauty in Tsing Yi.

After watching "Bouquet" with the beauty in Tsing Yi, Jiangdong Yijie is about to go to "Introduction to Architecture" to be a producer. He also bid farewell to Wenrouxiang and arrived at the set of "The Thieves" in a low-key manner.

Although others are not present, the entire crew framework has been set up.

The three generals, Guo Fan, Wen Muye, and Lu Yang, serve as deputy directors and are having a heated debate about the storyboard drawings. Chen Xi is explaining things to the director of photography, art director, special effects team leader, and others.

Oh, and Han Jia Nyeo is also there, she is the mascot of the show.

Chen Xi straightened his back, had a small face, and looked like an ace producer: "Director Zhou said that when it comes to special effects, no matter how much money is spent, we must do our best."

The investment budget of 200 million is no joke.

The crew has more than 20 special effects teams, with a total team of more than 900 people.

The core shots were handed over to Vision Media and Warner mercenaries, while other secondary shots were outsourced.

"The shooting time this time is short, and I mainly focus on post-production. I want to bring a dazzling visual feast to the audience."

When Zhou Yutang came in, he poured chicken soup for the crew and creators: "The colorful stage, the dazzling lights, the flying ribbons, the dazzling 360° rotating camera, I want to make the audience feel like they are really in the famous magician's special performance." , watch an unparalleled show”

A translator was communicating with Warner's top special effects experts. The fat white man, the leader of the special effects mercenaries there, was also very excited and wanted to have a big fight right away.

Chen Xi came over to report on the work: "Boss, Deng Chao may have to join the team a few days later. He wants to promote "Four Famous Catchers"."

"Tell him to hurry up. The shooting cycle here is a bit tight."

Zhou Yutang nodded and continued to discuss the plot with the three generals.

The film and television projects he participates in are not the kind where he is simply a producer. The production structure is usually U-shaped.

That is to say, the preparation period is long in the front, the shooting period in the middle is short, and the post-production period is long.

The film was prepared for nearly a year in the early stage. According to the industrialized process of commercial film production in Hollywood, the storyboard was animated before the filming started.

Edit while shooting, and keep up with it in post.

But when things come to a close, there will inevitably be various surprises, and actors' schedules will be very troublesome.

Zhou Yutang himself pushed a lot of announcements, and it was easy for Hu Ge to talk about it, but Deng Chao had his own company.

Now Deng Chao is also a first-line male star in the industry and has high commercial value.

Not only does he have "Now You See Me", but he also has "Partners" to follow. During this period, he also has to take time to record a running man variety show.

This time I went to participate in the promotion work of "Four Famous Catchers", and it was also a special greeting from Guangguang Laowang. This face must be given no matter what.

The main creators of the crew joined the crew one after another, and read the script before filming started.

“Let’s talk about the character first.”

Zhou Yutang began: "The male protagonist Akai is the king of the K organization who left clues in "Thieves". He is good at playing cards and often captures the hearts of female viewers with this technique, so it corresponds to the meaning of the lover card."

"Guan Yin, played by Deng Chao, is positioned as the hermit card among the Four Horsemen of the K organization. He is good at hypnosis and mind reading. He has toured the world and performed for many years. Unexpectedly, all his money was taken away by his brother who also served as his manager. The remaining Alone by myself.”

"Hu Jie, played by Lao Hu, is proficient in the art of picking locks and corresponds to the Death Card. There are several thrilling escape scenes."

"There is also Molly, played by Naza, who is good at escape techniques. She is the priestess of the Four Knights of the K organization and was also Akai's assistant."

Having said this, Gulinazha raised his hand: "Director, I think we can add an emotional line between Molly and Akai, so as to attract the audience more."

Were you trying to attract an audience?

Several people turned their eyes in unison, making Gulinazha blush a little.

If you have anything to do, just go to Zhou Yutang. Even a blind man can see what Gulinazha thinks about him.

"This is not the theme and selling point of the movie."

Zhou Yutang said calmly.

Originally, there was an emotional line between Zhang Yi and Nagasawa Masami, but it was cut off by Zhou Yutang.

His version of "Now You See Me" involves blurring the domestic real-life background in order to pass the review.

Some settings in the movie are the same as the original plot, such as the identity setting of the Four Horsemen.

It mainly provides a more reasonable explanation for the behavioral motivations of several protagonists, and also serves the layout of the entire movie universe.

The overall plot has also been changed, with Akai's family feud as the main line, and three unprecedented and stunning magic shows as the main highlights.

The final villain BOSS originally belonged to another mysterious organization, and killed Akai's father, the king of the previous generation K organization. Akai, who inherited his father's god-level talent, came back to take revenge when he grew up.

The Four Horsemen are his most loyal companions, while Yumoto Sho's character is a bystander.

Borrowing his words to explain the deciphering and guessing of magic, the leader of the protagonist group appeared in front of him and gave the audience shocked reactions from several angles through the perspective of Mr. You.

It brings out the strong character of the protagonist group in a more layered way.

The main plot is the revenge plan of the male protagonist Akai, and three dazzling magic shows are the process.

Through the police perspective, clues are obtained from the objects of each magic show, and the plot progresses layer by layer, eventually leading to the final BOSS.

Then the four knights teamed up to plan the final show and killed the last villain BOSS. It turned out that the villain BOSS had a tattoo of Q on his body.

Dig another hole.

The movie started shooting quickly, and the simple shots in the early stage were shot very smoothly. What was shot today was the blood sacrifice ceremony in Guli Nazha where he escaped from the mouth of a piranha.

Zhou Yutang came to the scene to view the set. The external producer in charge of the props introduced it enthusiastically: "Director Zhou, this water tank prop was made according to your request. I specially invited folk craftsmen to make it at a cost of 300,000 yuan. , absolutely professional and absolutely easy to use”

"300000?"

"The craftsman from Baoding, Hebei Province charges very high prices."

"Look at the effect."

"Let me demonstrate."

The life producer in charge of the props demonstrated the operation of the water tank to Zhou Yutang.

There are switches up and down, which can be controlled freely.

There are many folk crafts experts. The prop master who makes this prop can add chicken legs.

Although Zhou Yutang suspected that the external producer had received kickbacks, he did not accuse him.

It is normal to receive kickbacks on the set. As long as the people below are not too ugly and can do things well, he will basically turn a blind eye when he sees it.

This water box is an important prop for the scene Guli Nazha is filming today.

Due to the limited time of the entire movie, in order to give the audience a clear understanding of the capabilities of the Four Horsemen, each person arranged a simple appearance scene.

Nazar is good at escape techniques, and his scenes are mainly to highlight this point.

There was a 60-second countdown watch hanging at the scene, and Nazha's hands and feet were tied with locked chains.

She needs to unlock the locked chains and escape from the water tank within a limited time.

Otherwise, she would be swallowed by a tank full of piranhas pouring down from her head.

Nervous, exciting.

Just looking at it can get your adrenaline pumping.

"any questions?"

Zhou Yutang went over and looked at Guli Naza and found that she was a little nervous.

"I can do it, director."

Gulinazha even went to learn how to swim for several months in order to prepare for today's scene.

"Photography team, how are the camera positions prepared?"

"Ready, Director Zhou."

"OK, all departments pay attention."

"Tap up your makeup."

"Scene, quiet, 3, 2, 1, start!"

When the recorder was making the call, the eyes of the extras, including Chen Xi, couldn't help but focus on Guli Naza.

Everyone felt a sense of surprise in their hearts.

No wonder people say they should trust Zhou Yutang's vision.

The two NPCs around her were tying the locks on Gulina's hands and feet, and then pulled off the coat wrapped around her body.

That delicate face, silver deep V short skirt, revealing the skin that is so beautiful, and the beautiful white legs, reflect the light that makes people's hearts beat violently under the light.

The scene began to emit a burst of excited roars that sounded like ghosts crying or wolves howling.

Plop!

The breathtakingly beautiful natural beauty is like a mermaid falling into a water tank.
