Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Zhou Yutang stopped turning his pen and looked sideways at Zhang Songwen: "Teacher Zhang, would you like her to do a section?"

Zhang Songwen smiled: "In this case, Yu Tang will help set up a scene."

Yang Mi was asked to audition for the role of Liu Jiayi, the heroine of "Those Years". She was the campus beauty goddess in the minds of countless boys and she secretly fell in love with the leading actor Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang stood up, walked up to Yang Mi, and reminded: "There is no script, you can do whatever you want."

Then he held the book and pretended to read, acting like a tool.

"good."

Yang Mi nodded and adjusted her mood a little.

She walked a few steps, holding her head high and chest high, with a smile on her lips, as if she was as proud as a school belle.

When I saw Zhou Yutang, her bright eyes flashed with surprise, her hands were behind her back, and from another angle, her fingers could be seen tangled together, showing an emotional state of joy mixed with tangles.

"Hello, Zhou Yutang."

Yang Mi patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder. Her breathing seemed a little faster than usual. She pursed her lips and said, "Do you have time on the weekend? Let's go watch a movie together?"

"Well, good, let's go back and wait for the news."

I asked Yang Mi to read the lines and try out two scenes. After about twenty minutes, she closed the door and came out.

When she came out, Yang Mi went through it in her head and confirmed that she had made no mistakes and her performance should be above the standard. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and her steps were brisk.

"I think Yang Mi is good."

One of the middle-aged people in the room commented: "The head of Xingda is very popular. She has also filmed a movie directed by Li Shaohong and has rich acting experience."

Teacher Zhang Songwen also expressed his opinion: "The age is just right, and I have the feeling of a school beauty, but the emotional expression is a little bit less intense."

Lin Liang glanced at Zhou Yutang, nodded and said with a smile: "Yang Mi has a good figure. Wearing a shirt and school uniform will give her a great advantage."

".No rush, let's continue."

Zhou Yutang marked Yang Mi's name and continued the audition.

The next one to try was Jiang Yiyan.

As a senior at the film school, she has a very good handle on both her body, temperament and acting style.

Not only did it receive unanimous praise from everyone present, but Zhou Yutang also highlighted her name.

In terms of pure strength, she ranks first.

Then actresses continued to come in for auditions. Zhou Yutang looked through the list. Liu Shishi seemed to be the last one in the morning, behind a female model named Zhang Jiao.

Mr. Cai, Mr. Cai, is this also your plan?

Zhou Yutang smiled.

As for the audition ranking order, there is something to be said for it.

For example, if the person who auditions for the role before you is a very capable actor, then you will be at a disadvantage if you audition after him. There is an expectation gap, and the interviewer will subconsciously compare you with the person in front of you.

But if the actors who audition before you are not very good and you have certain advantages, then when you go in to audition and perform normally, this advantage will be amplified.

"Liu Shishi."

The last audition in the morning was just like the last class. Everyone was more or less relaxed and chatting around.

But when Liu Shishi walked into the room, everyone couldn't help but sit up straight and immediately stopped talking.

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

With this beautiful and gentle face, wearing a small white skirt and white shoes, she looks like a pure campus goddess.

As usual, Liu Shishi was asked to tie a ponytail. Liu Shishi was slightly startled and obeyed.

Her white wrists were wrapped with a black elastic hairband. She moved her hair with both hands and neatly tied her black hair into a smart ponytail.

Well, in terms of image, I can get full marks.

Everyone nodded in unison.

Next came the lines, which I barely got through.

It's the audition's turn.

Especially when she stands with the male protagonist Zhou Yutang, the indescribable harmonious beauty is really pleasing to the eye.

"take it easy."

Zhou Yutang whispered encouragement, and Liu Shishi responded with a sweet smile.

…

Lin Liang opened his mouth and said: "Let's have another eye scene where we have a crush on the male protagonist."

"."

Zhou Yutang glanced at Senior Brother Lin Liang and suspected that he had something to do with Mr. Cai from the Tang Dynasty.

After all, I have a good relationship with Liu Shishi. I know her strengths and weaknesses, and she is very good at costume fight scenes, but it was difficult for Shishi to arrange this eye-catching scene.

Liu Shishi was not afraid at all. His ponytail was slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his pear dimples were slightly visible.

He opened his bright eyes wide and looked straight at the tool man Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang: "."

Zhang Songwen: "."

There was a dry silence in the room.

As a person involved, Zhou Yutang feels the most intuitive.

When it comes to smiles, Liu Shishi is definitely sweet enough, and she is also the school belle, but her eyes are a bit off.

Maybe Shi Shi has tried hard to perform, but the effect is not ideal.

How to describe it?

It's a bit like a short-sighted student's dull eyes that are out of focus and focused on listening to the teacher's lectures in class.

"Very good, there is no problem. If it passes, I will contact your agency."

Liu Shishi originally wanted to open her mouth to talk to Zhou Yutang, but she watched what was happening and saw that there were so many people in the audition room. After all, she didn't have the nerve to speak. She just smiled at Zhou Yutang and said goodbye politely.

The audition ended in the morning, and then there was a meeting, mainly to discuss the selection of the heroine.

Huo Siyan was well-known and beautiful, but Zhou Yutang thought it was too glamorous and a bit promiscuous, so she was the first to rule it out.

There is also Zhang Jiani, who is not considered. Her figure and appearance are worthy of a college beauty, but unfortunately she is a bit cold and glamorous.

This type of beauties have one thing in common, that is, they are more aggressive and good-looking, which does not match well with the gentle and innocent school belle temperament in "Those Years".

At present, Jiang Yiyan definitely has the highest overall score, with good image and temperament, and outstanding acting skills.

Then there are Yang Mi and Liu Shishi.

The discussion was quite heated. Senior Brother Lin Liang felt that Yang Mi had great advantages.

Teacher Zhang Songwen feels that Liu Shishi's image and temperament are more suitable for the heroine, and she is very malleable.

As for the eye scene, it’s almost fun now, but Teacher Zhang is very confident in himself and thinks he can teach it slowly.

certainly.

The final decision-making power still lies with Zhou Yutang. After all, he is the investor + director + leading actor of this drama.

They think it's okay, but at best it's just a suggestion. Only Zhou Yutang nods, then it's really okay.

"Take a rest first and continue later."

Zhou Yutang pondered for a while and rubbed his forehead.

For now, he agrees with Teacher Zhang Songwen’s opinion.

The first look and temperament of the heroine are the most critical elements of this drama.

Standing there, Liu Shishi had a sense of peace and tranquility, and she looked like a school beauty without having to act.

In the afternoon, a group of actresses came to audition. Senior Brother Lin Liang suggested that they try their luck at art examination sites across the country.

With the population base of China, there is no shortage of beauties, but there is a lack of eyes that can discover beauty.

This film project has just been established. In order to cooperate with Li Xiaoping's work, the preliminary preparation work will take four months.

During this period, you can slowly search until you find the most suitable candidate.

As soon as he came out for some air and made a phone call, he saw Cai Yinong not far away smiling and waving to him.

Zhou Yutang said helplessly: "Sister Cai, you haven't left yet?"

"I have something to do with you. Can we find a room to chat?"

Cai Yinong smiled like an old fox.

"."

Zhou Yutang had reason to suspect that Cai Yinong wanted to make unspoken rules for himself.

As a serious young man who wanted to make progress, he refused righteously on the spot: "Mr. Cai, if you want to talk about the audition, then we have nothing to talk about. The role in this play is mainly determined by the actor's personal strength. "

"Don't talk about this."

Cai Yinong said lightly: "That's right, our Tang people have recently launched a large-scale project of adapting ancient costumes from game IPs, but we can't find a suitable character. I would like to ask if you can give me some advice?"

"Mr. Cai, please come this way."

Zhou Yutang led the way sincerely and helped open the door.

After hanging out with Senior Brother Liu Jiang for a while, his entire realm has been sublimated.

If Sister Cai is in trouble, he will definitely be willing to lend a helping hand.

Cai Yinong curled his lips.

She finally saw it clearly. This guy was very clever and would not let go of the rabbit when he saw it. It was very difficult to deal with him.

Small room, red sofa.

Zhou Yutang poured Mr. Cai a cup of tea and listened with interest to Mr. Cai talking about Tang Dynasty's major costume project.

As everyone knows.

Tangren Film and Television started out by producing costume dramas. The movie "Sword and Fairy" brought out the unrivaled popularity of Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao. Now the industry has labeled Tangren as a company that specializes in producing high-quality costume dramas.

"Sister Cai, I roughly understand what you mean. Is Tang Ren going to start the filming plan for "Sword and Sword III" in advance?"

Zhou Yutang supported his chin with both hands, and his mind was spinning: "I have played the game Fairy Sword before. I probably understand what Mr. Cai means. He wants me to play the leading actor Jingtian. When will the filming start?"

"I have no problem here. The film project will have to wait for several months. I can adjust the schedule accordingly and join the team at any time."

Cai Yinong's face darkened, he shook his head and said firmly: "The male lead belongs to Hu Ge, and the contract has been signed. This is impossible."

"Mr. Cai, you are making things difficult for me."

"Xu Changqing can give it to you."

"."

Zhou Yutang's face showed just the right amount of embarrassment, and he pondered for a long time before saying: "That's all, Sister Cai, you have already spoken. I have to help you no matter what, but I have a condition. I have to be a screenwriter and help flesh out the character." Drama.”

Sword and Sword III is a popular IP in China, and Zhou Yutang has also played the game.

In the game, Xu Changqing's identity is an abandoned disciple of Shushan. He has long hair and a shawl, a bit of a scumbag, and an indecisive personality. In the end, he watched Zixuan die in order to seal the Demon Locking Tower, which was not very pleasing.

If it is made into a TV series, the character design will definitely have to be modified. Zhou Yutang has some inspiration in his mind. If he plays the role, he can add his own drama.

A serious and rigid, yet rational and steady, powerful, handsome and handsome Shushan swordsman in white.

In the end, for the sake of the great truth in his heart and for the sake of the people in the world, he resolutely gave up everything.

Such a character is destined to attract countless fans.

After chatting about the "Sword and Sword III" project for a while, the veins in Cai Yinong's forehead jumped, feeling that he was being tricked by Zhou Yutang.

She suddenly changed the subject and asked an irrelevant question: "Yu Tang, how was the audition this morning?"

"Everything is okay, Jiang Yiyan performed the best."

Zhou Yutang took a sip of water and glanced at her.

"Why is it her?"

Cai Yinong was somewhat unexpectedly surprised.

"Accident?"

Zhou Yutang looked calm and smiled calmly: "Jiang Yiyan just finished filming a movie "Double Food Story" this year. It was directed by our senior brother Zhao Tianyu from Nortel. She played the second female lead, starring with Wu Zhenyu and Yu Nan. I just I asked the teacher at the film school for Senior Brother Zhao’s contact information, and after asking, Senior Sister Jiang performed very well in that film.”

What!

He acted well alongside Golden Horse Award-winning actor Wu Zhenyu and Mainland China's Golden Rooster Award-winning actress Yu Nan?

Cai Yinong fainted, with a complicated expression on his face.

Zhou Yutang saw that Cai Yinong seemed to be slightly shocked. A slight arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he asked warmly: "Sister Cai, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Cai Yinong picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His expression returned to calm, and he glanced at Zhou Yutang: "If you leave this Jiang Yiyan aside, how will our family's Shi Shi perform?"

"Shi Shi is also very good. His image and temperament are almost full marks."

Before Cai Yinong's face showed joy, Zhou Yutang shook his head: "However, the eye scene was almost funny, which is a pity. Yang Mi's overall condition is not worse than Shi Shi."

Mr. Cai couldn't stand it any longer. He gritted his teeth and finally got to the point: "I think Shi Shi is more suitable for this role than others. You agree to the conditions!"

What sister is playing today is unspoken rules!

afternoon.

Preliminary audition is over.

Zhou Yutang made the decision directly.

The heroine of "Those Years" was finally selected as Liu Shishi.

In fact, the conditions of Jiang Yiyan and Senior Yang Mi are pretty good.

To be fair.

Jiang Yiyan has the highest overall score in acting + appearance.

Yang Mi's comprehensive score followed closely, but the top two ended up losing unfortunately.

The reason is also very simple.

Cai Yinong gritted his teeth and paid a certain price, and secretly reached a certain deal with Zhou Yutang.

This is the unspoken rule in the legend.

Zhou Yutang's movie uses Liu Shishi as the heroine, and the conditions in exchange are very generous.

First, Zhou Yutang has priority for the role of Xu Changqing in the "Sword and Sword III" project, as well as important roles in the shooting plans of the next few TV series.

Second, Tangren Film and Television has reached a comprehensive cooperation with Jiangdong Film and Television Cultural Studio. Some of Tangren Film and Television’s Hong Kong and Taiwan resource channels can be opened to Jiangdong Studio. In addition, the behind-the-scenes production team is also open to Jiangdong Studio.

At this stage, Tangren Film and Television is one of the few private film and television drama production companies in the country, ranking among the top three in terms of revenue!

Cai Yinong made his fortune in Xiangjiang, and he has some connections in the film and television circles in Xiangjiang and Wanwan.

Zhou Yutang didn't care much about those relationships. He had no intention of going to Hong Kong.

However, the drunkard's interest is not in drinking. He is quite interested in the team behind Tangren Film and Television.

Jiangdong Studio is now a small workshop. If it wants to develop, it must make up for this shortcoming. Training a production team is a very long process. In the short term, borrowing the Tang Ren behind-the-scenes team is the best choice.

Zhou Yutang went back to review the situation.

The development route he has set for himself is to blossom into high-quality hit TV series and movies.

He wants them all!

The idea is very simple. TV dramas can gather popularity, consolidate and solidify the foundation, and enhance national popularity.

And movies are the best way to develop your skills and improve your status as a celebrity.

As long as it has national status, it will be invincible. At that time, even if the movie tries to test the water and the box office is not ideal, it can still stabilize the basic base of popularity.

Originally, Zhou Yutang's first choice for the heroine was Liu Yifei.

From a purely investor perspective, if Liu Tianxian is cast as the heroine, this project will immediately gain popularity.

Liu Tianxian's huge fan base is all potential movie tickets.

Zhou Yutang is confident that, not to mention the movie's box office success, the final result will definitely be above the standard line.

It's a pity that Aunt Liu has great powers and has taken over a big production worth more than 300 million yuan for Tianxian. There is no schedule at all this year.

In short, the positions are different and cannot be forced.

Then again, Liu Shishi's conditions are also very favorable.

She has a pretty and pretty face, and she has been practicing ballet since she was a child. Her body and temperament are very good, especially the way she wears her ponytail, which is very amazing.

She is absolutely the beauty of the school.

Do you want to say that the eye scene is not good?

Teacher Zhang Songwen is very confident, let him teach slowly.

There are unspoken rules for the first time in life.

Zhou Yutang felt that he was making a lot of money.

Mr. Cai also felt that he was not at a loss this time.

Zhou Yutang is in the limelight this year and has become synonymous with handsome guys. His momentum is even slightly surpassing that of Hu Ge who has just come back. Liu Shishi can play with Zhou Yutang, which can be said to raise his status.

When the time comes, coupled with the hype of Tangren's best marketing press releases, Liu Shishi's celebrity status will at least rise to a higher level.

"Mr. Cai, do you really want Zhou Yutang to play Xu Changqing?"

When walking out of the hotel, the assistant beside him found out about this and couldn't help but ask Cai Yinong.

"Well, I always feel that this kid has something. This movie might give people a surprise."

Mr. Cai nodded calmly.

In fact, it was because she failed to participate in the TV series "Want to Meet You" last time. She almost got a swollen thigh from filming, and then she stared at Zhou Yutang's movements.

During this movie audition, Mr. Cai ran directly to Zhou Yutang as soon as he heard about it.

After working for so many years, as a strong woman who climbed from the bottom to where she is today, Ms. Cai is known for her unique vision.

At least so far, accidents rarely happen to the people and projects that Mr. Cai is optimistic about.

"What do you think of the company over there? This project should be cooperated with that company. We have discussed it in many meetings. The preliminary preparations are almost complete. We are just waiting to choose from Huo Jianhua and Qiu Ze."

"I tried to find a reason to push it back. Anyway, there was no contract signed. We have a long-term cooperation agreement. The next TV series will have their people as the protagonists."

Mr. Cai's thinking is very clear, that is, he wants to eat both sides.

Even if there is a price to pay there, Zhou Yutang can get more benefits here, so it is worth doing.

As for Zhou Yutang's intention to borrow the behind-the-scenes team of Tangren Film and Television, he would have to pay for it, so it was considered as giving benefits to his employees to make extra money.

Got in the car.

Cai Yinong saw the elegant and beautiful Liu Shishi and said in a gentle tone: "Shi Shi, the heroine is yours."

"ah?"

Liu Shishi himself was a little confused when he heard the news.

At that time, there were many people sitting in the room. She was taken out by her assistant Xiao Tao after her audition. She didn't have time to say hello to Zhou Yutang, and she didn't know what happened next.

"Silly girl, let me tell you, the casting of Zhou Yutang's movie has been finalized, and you are the heroine."

Looking at Liu Shishi's confused expression, Cai Yinong felt funny and happy in her heart.

This feeling.

It's like seeing your younger self, getting a rare opportunity by chance and being overwhelmed by the surprise.

Zhou Yutang's handsome face with clear and cold cheek lines appeared in Liu Shishi's mind.

An impulse suddenly emerged in my heart.

Keep asking for monthly votes. The more votes you get, the more updates will be added like crazy.
