Entertainment: I really want to make progress

The movie "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" has been approved.

Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio invested 50%, and now 5 million was gone.

Another TV series "Let's Get Married" also had an investment of 1 million.

Most of the money in Zhou Yutang's coffers was spent before it was warmed up.

Fortunately, the follow-up payment for the drama "Want to See You" is coming soon, and the rights to the second and third rounds have been sold. The studio is not short of money for the time being, and there is no need for Zhou Yutang to go out to accept commercial performances.

In late April, the preliminary preparations for "Let's Get Married" were almost completed.

In terms of casting, Gao Yuanyuan "strongly defeated" Hai Qing, Mei Ting, Sun Li, Qin Hailu and others to win the heroine. She learned from director Liu Jiang about Zhou Yutang's role, and she felt even more grateful and sweet.

The leading actor has been cast as director Liu Jiang's favorite general Huang Haibo, whose acting skills are quite impressive.

Duan Xifeng, the second male scumbag, is from Beijing Hualu Baina Film and Television. The second female lead is Wang Tong, a powerful actor. As expected, the male lead's parents are two veteran actors, Bai Zhidi and Zhang Kaili.

According to Zhou Yutang's idea, this drama was originally planned to have thirty-six episodes, but Brother Liu Jiang personally called and had an in-depth discussion and asked Zhou Yutang to find a way to expand the script to 50 episodes.

Senior Brother Liu is really a talent

The TV series has not started filming, but it has received a lot of product placement and sponsorship. It is initially estimated that 22 products will be implanted, and the initial revenue will be more than 10 million!

The extra 14 episodes here are even more telling. Assuming each episode can sell 1 million, then the extra 14 episodes are 14 million!

Zhou Yutang was stunned.

No wonder Brother Liu can achieve the position of vice president of the Chinese TV Drama Directors Working Committee.

If he's so good at making money, who will be if he doesn't rise to the top?

Zhou Yutang also has a 15% share of this drama. With these fourteen extra episodes, Jiangdong Studio can earn more than two million, so naturally he has no objection.

How to expand the plot?

Very simple.

Then add scenes for the male and female protagonists, and then add scenes for the male protagonist’s parents and old lady, and also add scenes for Yang Tao’s best friend.

Explain marriage from several different perspectives.

The tragic experience of the scumbag Duan Xifeng after his derailed marriage, as well as the tragic marriage of Guo Ran's parents, caused the audience to reflect, and at the same time highlighted the sincerity and value of the relationship between Yang Tao and Guo Ran.

Zhou Yutang's idea was greatly appreciated by director Liu Jiang.

Because the crew was about to start filming, Zhou Yutang worked hard for several nights, and finally revised the script and handed it over to Brother Liu Jiang. After reading it and confirming that there were no problems, he started to make a shooting plan.

Zhou Yutang himself also made a guest appearance in "Let's Get Married" as Jiao Yang, the male best friend of the heroine Yang Tao.

The role is not that big, but according to Senior Brother Liu Jiang, Zhou Yutang is very popular now, so if he doesn’t use it, he won’t use it in vain. When the time comes, he can still use this topic to issue press releases to create hype.

This old fox’s tricks are really too deep!

The matter of "Let's Get Married" has come to an end and just waiting to start filming, Zhou Yutang will focus on the script of "Those Years".

Although Li Xiaoping said that it would take three or four months to complete this project, the casting of the film can be determined in advance.

Zhou Yutang himself is undoubtedly the male protagonist, and as for the female protagonist, he already has a plan in mind.

……………………

The back garden of Tianxian's house.

Green fields.

Zhou Yutang, Wang Jia and Shu Chang were sitting in a small pavilion, chatting and laughing.

Today I was invited by Liu Yifei to have a gathering at home with two of her best friends, Shu Chang and Wang Jia.

Aunt Liu was not at home, but Liu Yifei was quite decent as the host. She brought snacks to share with her friends, and also went to the kitchen to bring a plate of cut fruits.

From a distance, I could see Shu Chang, Wang Jia and Zhou Yutang talking about something unknown. Wang Jiali was leaning forward and backward with joy, and Shu Chang was also laughing so hard.

"Changchang, Sister Jia, what are you talking about? You are smiling so happily."

Liu Yifei blinked Babulingbuling's big eyes, a little curious.

"Ask him yourself."

Shu Chang covered his mouth and laughed, pointing his finger at Zhou Yutang.

"Yes, it's all his fault."

Wang Jia was close to Zhou Yutang, so he reached out and patted Zhou Yutang rudely.

Shu Chang also followed the Xiaofenquan gesture and wanted to beat Zhou Yutang.

Liu Yifei glanced at her best friend.

Advocate, I am usually very reserved in front of boys.

what is it today?

Today was the first time she and Zhou Yutang met. It didn't take long and they became so familiar. No wonder some people on the Internet now say that Zhou Yutang is a young woman sniper.

Zhou Yutang spread his hands innocently: "We didn't talk about anything. I don't even know what they were laughing at."

"Sissi, let me tell you, it's so funny. Zhou Yutang went to Magic City last time to sign a new book.

I met a fan who was too excited and shouted by mistake, "Zhou Yutang, I am your idol!" ’ Then Zhou Yutang said, ‘Yes, I am your fan.’ He also enthusiastically asked the fan to sign his autograph. In the end, the fan was confused. Oh no, I was laughing so hard! "

Miss Shu Chang's smile was a little low, and she still had such silly fun.

"This is something he can do."

Miss Liu also smiled and put the fruits and snacks on the table.

Zhou Yutang rudely inserted a transparent plastic straw to suck the AD calcium milk served by Liu Tianxian.

We are all of the same age and have a common language.

Talking about college life in the previous school, and then talking about interesting things that happened while filming.

Liu Tianxian's face was as bright as a smile.

This girl seems to have just finished some physical training. It is rare for her to have time to get together with her friends and best friends. Even if she just chats, she is in a happy mood.

Coupled with Zhou Yutang's jokes from time to time, the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Suddenly, Liu Yifei seemed to have thought of something. She held her chin with her hands, glanced at Zhou Yutang with a pair of clear eyes, and asked: "Xiao Zhou, do you really want to make a movie?"

Wang Jia and Shu Chang also cast inquiring and curious glances.

Follow the normal development practices in the entertainment industry.

A young actor like Zhou Yutang, who became famous after one TV series, will take on a few more TV series to consolidate his fan base. He will wait until his popularity is completely solid before he considers entering the big screen.

No one would have thought that his second work would directly lead to a movie.

"real."

Zhou Yutang sucked AD calcium milk and smiled calmly: "The project has been approved. The preliminary preparations will take about three or four months. The casting will be selected after a while."

"Yu Tang, are you serious?"

Wang Jia was a little stunned.

She remembered that Zhou Yutang mentioned that he wanted to make movies during the chat. At that time, she thought he was joking, but she didn't expect it to be true.

Zhou Yutang really gave her too much impact.

Shu Chang is a fan of "Want to Meet You" and was a little curious about Zhou Yutang. He couldn't help but ask: "What kind of story can you tell us?"

"It's also a youth-type movie"

Zhou Yutang recounted the story simply and clearly in a leisurely manner, and then asked sincerely:

"What do you think?"

"I haven't seen this kind of movie before. It sounds a bit like a Korean drama, but not quite like it."

Shu Chang thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

"I can't tell you. Just listening to the story you told me, it seems like the pain of youth. It's quite tangible."

Wang Jia teased and said with a smile: "Tell me the truth, Junior Yu Tang, did you not study hard in high school and only focus on falling in love? Otherwise, why would you write so many youth love stories?"

Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang's dark eyes shone brightly and they moved over quickly.

Women are born with the gossip factor flowing in their blood.

"Sister Jia, it's really not true. My first love is still there, don't talk nonsense. If I fell in love every day, would I be able to get into Nortel with the best academic score ever?"

Zhou Yutang denied the three consecutive times without changing his expression and without a beating heart, and quietly changed the subject: "Qian Qian, what do you think?"

"Just listening to you tell it, the story is a bit bland."

Liu Yifei tilted her little head and said frankly, with an unclear idea.

After finishing elementary school in China, she followed Aunt Liu to the United States. At first, she didn't understand much about youth life on campus in China.

Just now Zhou Yutang just briefly summarized the story in words, but Miss Liu believed in Zhou Yutang's ability and felt that there should be many details in this plain story that should not be missed.

Suddenly thinking of something, he stretched out his white hand and his eyes lit up: "Where is the script you promised me?!"

"Let's see."

Zhou Yutang handed over the script that he had prepared long ago.

The three girls gathered together to read the script. They were a little chattering at first, but they soon became quiet.

Zhou Yutang bit his straw with a relaxed attitude.

"Those Years" tells the story of the hazy and beautiful youth of the male protagonist Zhou Ziyu and the female protagonist Liu Jiayi.

The background of the story is set in the late 1990s, spanning the beginning of the century, from high school to college.

Little things like first love in adolescence.

This is something that everyone has experienced at that time, that childish, hazy and refreshing dream.

Whose youth is perfect?

Whose youth has no regrets?

The story of "Those Years" is that Zhou Yutang opened up the scars of his imperfect youth and exposed the scars to the audience.

Every audience is the protagonist in their own youth.

The fact is that the male protagonist in youth stories often cannot catch up with his goddess.

The same goes for the male and female protagonists in this script.

But after things changed and Liu Jiayi reached a truly mature age, she realized that the most precious relationship in her life was given to her by Zhou Ziyu.

As a school beauty, Liu Jiayi has no shortage of suitors, but no suitor can attract her attention with crazy and childish actions like Zhou Ziyu. Those things that seem a little silly and childish often make her sleep in the middle of the night. When the dream came back, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

After Zhou Ziyu, there will never be another man in the world who can like her so simply, sincerely and passionately.

"Because I want to chase you, I study hard and it turns out to be a very passionate thing. Because I like you, I become a better person. Wow, this sentence is really warm and touching!"

Classmate Shu Chang's eyes were shining.

Her ideal type is a sunny and handsome guy with a bookish temperament.

"Yes, I'm just naive, that's why I chased you for so long!"

Senior Sister Wang Jia was smiling bitterly, with nostalgia in her eyes, as if she was thinking of the lost light and shadow in her memory.

"how do you feel?"

When Zhou Yutang, who was sucking AD calcium milk, asked this question again, Shu Chang and Wang Jia unanimously gave high praise:

"It seems to be a youth comedy story, but after reading it, I found that it has a touch of melancholy and touching feeling. It's really touching, Zhou Yutang."

"I feel the feeling of lost youth and first love."

"..."

Liu Yifei's attention was still stuck on the script, and those bright and moving eyes were sparkling with autumn water.

The voices of Shu Chang and Wang Jia brought his thoughts back to reality, and then he pulled the hair around his ears and smiled lightly:

"I also think it's very good. It has a completely different feeling from the last "Want to See You". This story seems to be closer to reality, but the emotions are very sincere and touching. Xiao Zhou, you can always surprise people. surprise."

"It seems that I already have at least three of you viewers."

Zhou Yutang sucked up the AD calcium milk, then leaned back and threw the empty bottle towards the trash can, but it hit the edge and popped out with a bang.

"Don't litter."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Zhou Yutang angrily, then took the initiative to pick up the empty bottle and throw it into the trash can.

Shu Chang still felt that he still had more to say, so he took the script and flipped through it, muttering: "I think it looks very good. If it is filmed, I will definitely go to the cinema to support you. Zhou Yutang, are you planning to play the leading role yourself?"

"Well, I will direct and act myself."

"you are great!"

Shu Chang clapped his hands and said excitedly: "How about we invite Sissi as the heroine?! She is pure, beautiful, and the perfect school beauty. The first reaction in my mind is that Sissi is Liu Jiayi."

"Yes, Sissi, you are so suitable to play the heroine of this play."

Senior Sister Wang Jia's eyes lit up and she also started to encourage her.

"Really?"

Miss Liu's first reaction was a little surprised. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Zhou Yutang with her bright and moving eyes.

To be honest, this expression is really cute.

"It would be great if you acted in it."

The corners of Zhou Yutang's mouth slightly raised in a gentle arc, and he asked in an innocent manner: "Qian Qian, what do you think?"

"I think it's good, but I have to ask my mother. She arranges all the work. I don't know if there are any schedules."

Liu Yifei looked at the script again and thought about it before speaking.

Zhou Yutang also knows this. Aunt Liu has worked hard and paid a lot to pave the way for Liu Yifei. Now she can basically be regarded as Liu Yifei's agent and assistant.

"When will Aunt Liu come back?"

Zhou Yutang wanted to talk to Aunt Liu in person.

Try to see if your sharp tongue can handle Aunt Liu.

After all, it is the first self-directed and self-acted movie. If possible, I naturally hope to gather all the successful elements as much as possible.

It's a good script. If you add the combination of yourself and Liu Tianxian, who is currently popular, I really don't know how to lose.

"Mom seems to have gone to discuss the contract with people from Huayi Company today."

Liu Yifei's bright and moving eyes looked directly at Zhou Yutang, her little hands were clasped together in a sign of supplication, and her tone was as gentle as a kitten:

"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, can you leave me a copy of the script? I want my mother to read it."

This move again...

"good."

This time Zhou Yutang agreed readily.

The last time I was in school, I wanted to bring a script to Teacher Yao for review. This time, I had prepared a script in advance with the idea of ​​asking Liu Yifei to cooperate.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhou."

Liu Yifei smiled brightly and enthusiastically greeted her friends to eat snacks.

Happy time is always short-lived.

Talking about gossip, we all spent the afternoon together in a blink of an eye. It was almost dinner time, and Aunt Liu hadn't come back yet.

Zhou Yutang was a little disappointed.

I was originally thinking about having a meal at Ms. Liu's house shamelessly, but I got a call from Sister Yuanyuan. She was about to join the filming of "Let's Get Married", so Zhou Yutang had no choice but to rush over and say goodbye to her.

Aunt Liu also called and said something had happened, and then asked Shu Chang to stay at home tonight. Zhou Yutang said goodbye and sent Wang Jia back.

In fact, we can also see the difference in relationship from here.

Wang Jia can probably be regarded as Liu Yifei's good friend, and Shu Chang is a true bestie, even Aunt Liu loves her very much.

on the way.

The streetlight scenery keeps passing by the car window.

Wang Jia looked at Zhou Yutang's side face, which was reflected in the car lights and made his heart beat faster.

Zhou Yutang, who was driving seriously, seemed to have a strange charm about him. Wang Jia inexplicably whispered:

"Yu Tang."

"Huh? Sister Jia, is something wrong?"

Zhou Yutang stared forward, tilting his head slightly in response.

"Do you have anything going on tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

After hesitating for a short while, Wang Jia finally made up his mind to speak out.

The bright eyes were gleaming with light, as if water could flow from them.

". Another day. I'll treat you another day. Not tonight. I made an appointment with someone else in advance."

Zhou Yutang looked at the time and turned on the car music to start playing.

"That night, you didn't reject me."

"That night, I hurt you."

"."

"Pfft, you like listening to this song, it has a very unique taste."

Wang Jia used a slightly high laugh to cover up her disappointment, and then withdrew her slightly regretful eyes, and turned to ask: "By the way, if Sissi can't play the heroine of your movie, do you think I can?" Any chance?"

Zhou Yutang slowed down the car, turned to look at Wang Jia seriously for more than ten seconds, and then shook his head slightly: "Sister Jia, to be honest, your appearance is quite outstanding, and your acting skills are also very good, but how should I put it? As the heroine of my movie, you look a little more mature."

"Okay, I'll just ask."

Wang Jia lowered his head and chuckled: "You still have some self-awareness. The school beauty heroine always makes men feel dazzling at first sight and reminds her of her youth."

She turned to look out the window.

After that, the two of them stopped talking about movies, and instead, in a tacit understanding, they talked about the various snacks near the film school.

Girls seem to be particularly talented in this area.

I heard from Wang Jia that there was a snail noodle shop in Jimenli Community near the school that seemed good, and the Xinjiang mutton skewers and fried rice cakes on Beihang Road on Zhichun Road were also delicious. Zhou Yutang said he would try it someday when he had time.

The experienced driver drove very steadily, and it only took half an hour to reach the destination.

Double jump, put into gear.

Zhou Yutang showed a bright smile and watched Wang Jia unfasten his seat belt.

Before he opened the door, Wang Jia didn't forget to remind him: "Remember, if you owe me a meal, don't miss it."

"Definitely next time."

"Goodbye, drive slowly and drive safely."

"goodbye."

With a kick of the accelerator, the black Passat flew into the distance under the night.

We all know that when we smile and say goodbye to each other, it may be just goodbye, or it may be that goodbye is far away.

Wang Jia held her handbag and stood on the roadside waving goodbye.

She watched the car shadow disappear around the corner before turning around. The street lights stretched her shadow very long.
