Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Zhou Yutang took time out to go to Jewell to complete the recording of the song "New Creation".

Next, the filming of "Zhou Chu" went smoothly.

Wu Zhenyu joined the crew a few days late due to schedule conflicts.

One good thing about the veteran actor is that he made sufficient preparations in advance before joining the group and got into the mood quickly.

This also benefits from Wu Zhenyu’s rich villain experience.

Jiang Yulang in "The Two Prides" has done all kinds of bad things.

The very angry Liang Kun in "Young and Dangerous" said that his whole family was actually buried after he killed someone. I believe he left a childhood shadow for many friends.

The killer Alai in "Gunfire" and Ni Yongxiao in "Infernal Affairs 2" are both classic characters in the history of Hong Kong movies.

In the play "Chou Chu", he plays Xiang Jiangzi, one of the three evils that Zhou Chu wants to get rid of.

A moody, violent and willful desperado.

The barber shop girl Cheng Xiaomei, played by Ke Jiayan, is regarded as a forbidden love.

More or less perverted.

Today's scene is the first trial and confrontation between Chen Guilin and Xiang Jiangzi in the barber shop.

When Zhou Yutang arrived at the barber shop, the attentive Wu Zhenyu had already discovered that he was secretly peeking into his life.

His eyes were as deep as poisonous snakes, staring at Zhou Yutang, exuding a cold and sharp light, showing cruelty and tyranny.

It seemed that the razor with a cold light in his hand would fall on Zhou Yutang's throat the next moment, splattering blood on the spot.

Zhou Yutang also had his gun loaded and slid it quietly to his cuff.

Within five steps, which one is faster, the sword or the gun?

They were about to get into a fight, and the tense atmosphere was interrupted by the police uncle checking the parking lot at the door.

The killing intent in Wu Zhenyu's eyes receded like a tide, but his nervous smile looked a little penetrating.

Zhou Yutang couldn't help but secretly praise him for working with such an actor.

Very comfortable.

Even if some parts fail to meet the director's psychological expectations, they only need to communicate with each other and inform them of the effect requirements.

He didn't even need to tell the story, he knew it by heart, and then switched to another performance method until the director was satisfied.

This is a comprehensive reflection of the actor's talent and experience accumulation.

The crew's filming will not completely follow the plot.

The confrontation scene during the day was over, and the filming location at night was still Xiaomei Barber Shop, but it was what happened the night before.

Xiang Jiangzi and his three younger brothers had just finished beheading someone, and the smell of blood was strong in the house.

"That rat Ming asked him to get some goods, and also asked me for money. It's really a lot of trouble."

Wu Zhenyu took the towel handed over by Ke Jiayan, wiped his hands stained with blood, and looked nonchalant:

"I just fucked him a few times."

"You seem to be injured. Do you want me to apply some medicine for you?"

Ke Jiayan spoke caring words, but in her eyes, there was a trace of imperceptible disgust and fear.

Who in their right mind would want to stay with such a demon?

But she had no choice at all.

"No, just sprinkle some water on it."

Wu Zhenyu wiped the blood stains on his hands a few times, took out a bloody knife from his pocket and handed it over: "Wash it clean for me."

"What's the late-night snack for you tonight?"

"Pig blood cake, duck blood, and coffin boards."

At this time, Xiaomei finished washing the knife and came over to help clean up the table where the dishes were messed up.

A close-up view of her graceful figure was shown.

In the meantime, the dim light seemed to reflect the shallow valley that was as solid as snow, and also reflected the youthful and beautiful atmosphere of the girl.

There was a very distinctive guy with white hair and tattoos at the table, and he couldn't help but glance at him.

Xiangjiangzi's Da Ma Jin Dao was sitting upright, drinking a glass of beer in his mouth, with an evil look in his eyes, and suddenly reached out and slapped his beautiful buttocks.

Snapped!

Xiaomei was like a frightened rabbit.

His eyes were frightened, his body was trembling, and he shrank back.

Xiangjiangzi laughed nervously, and the white-haired tattooed horse boy also laughed, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiangjiangzi's venomous eyes staring at him.

The smile disappeared instantly.

The sweaty feeling.

The atmosphere gradually became tense, and the other two discerning boys slipped out of the house on the pretext of smoking.

Wu Zhenyu smiled softly, holding a beer bottle and filling up the white-haired tattooed horseboy with a dangerous message in his eyes: "Smile, keep laughing."

"hehe."

The corners of the white-haired tattooed boy's mouth twitched, and his second smile was a bit forced.

"What were you laughing at just now?"

"No, no, boss."

"What did you think of to make you laugh like this?"

"I'm sorry, boss."

The handsome guy with white hair and tattoos was so shocked that his face turned pale, his body was like chaff, and even his voice was trembling.

"If you tell me the reason, maybe I will understand."

Wu Zhenyu tilted his head, the muscles on his face twitched unnaturally, and his eyes gradually turned red: "Now that you don't even dare to say anything, it proves that there is something dirty in your heart. I am so hurt. What do you think I should do?"

"Click!"

Lao Mouzi stopped behind the monitor, communicated with the lighting engineer, and said to Zhou Yutang: "Yu Tang, help me explain the scene to them."

After that, he continued to talk to the director of photography about the lens, and trusted Zhou Yutang to give the task of telling the story.

According to the plot, at this time, Chen Guilin was secretly observing Xiang Jiangzi in the small house upstairs opposite the barber shop.

Chen Guilin is a fierce man, but not a fool.

This is preparing for the hands-on step.

I witnessed the situation in the barber shop, and then also saw some clips that were inappropriate for children.

Zhou Yutang's scenes are quite simple and can be completed in one shot.

At this time, he is more helping Lao Mouzi to watch the on-site shooting effects. After all, he is also the film producer.

The stage manager quickly called several actors over. Needless to say, Wu Zhenyu couldn't fault him at all.

Zhou Yutang mainly told Ke Jiayan about the drama, "For Xiaomei's performance, I need you to have a little more anger."

"A feeling of anger?"

Ke Jiayan stood in front of Zhou Yutang with her hands behind her back, like an obedient female student.

"Yes, you are controlled by Xiangjiangzi because of your mother, including the scene upstairs. In fact, you are not satisfied with the current situation. In your heart, you may even feel humiliated and unwilling."

Zhou Yutang spoke carefully, and Ke Jiayan listened very carefully.

Wu Zhenyu also joined in the fun and gave a lot of suggestions on how to perform.

Ke Jiayan seems to have realized that for her, if she can perform the role of Xiaomei well, her acting skills will definitely improve.

Seeing that she had almost figured it out, Zhou Yutang nodded: "Okay, let's do it again."

There is no doubt about Lao Mouzi's vision in selecting actresses.

Ke Jiayan definitely belongs to that category of talented actresses.

The girl's innocence, but also a little bit of pitiable brokenness, was performed perfectly by her.

When the audience sees the scene of her being abused by Xiang Jiangzi, it can definitely arouse sympathy, and the same is true from Chen Guilin's perspective, which also makes the character's behavioral motivations more reasonable.

"Ahem, um, Director Zhou." A voice as quiet as a mosquito came from the corner.

"Why haven't you gone there yet?"

"director."

The white-haired tattooed boy from Xiangjiangzi scratched his head and said shamelessly: "I feel like my performance is not very good. Can you see if there is anything I can improve on?"

He also wants to improve.

The great director of the Palme d'Or tells the story with his hands. Not all actors can receive such treatment.

"You're fine."

"ah?"

The white-haired tattooed guy was dumbfounded.

No, it's not like this when you teach someone else's sister.

"You performed well just now. It was interesting to see the second smile on Aberdeen's face."

Zhou Yutang took a stab at it slowly: "If I have to say it, as Xiangjiangzi's younger brother, the lust in Xiaomei's eyes is a little stronger. For a gangster of your age, apart from fighting and fighting bravely, there is also Just interested in women”

"Then after being noticed by your elder brother, your throat twitched when you were nervous. Just think about these few details yourself."

"Director Zhou, you are truly amazing."

The white-haired tattooed boy from Xiangjiang Tsai said with sincere admiration.

This young actor is called Ma Yuke.

Many people may not know his name, but it is Duan Kun from Tsim Sha Tsui who was chosen by Ah Wei.

But off-screen, he is a cheerful and cheerful boy. In this drama, he has to be shot in the head with a beer bottle by Wu Zhenyu, which is a bit costly.

After filming this scene, classmate Duan Kun sat on the edge to rest.

This scene was filmed several times, and dozens of beer bottles were prepared on set.

Of course the one used by Xiang Jiangzi for headshot was not a real beer bottle.

Real beer bottles are far less fragile than everyone imagines. If they were smashed so hard, they would cause a concussion.

This is a prop wine bottle custom-made with sugar by the prop team of the production team. It breaks when touched. It causes limited damage to the actors, but it has great visual effects.

This scene was filmed more than a dozen times. Poor classmate Duan Kun was probably a little dizzy.

After "The Tuner" was completed, it was produced by Vision Media in the later stage.

It is estimated that it will take some time, because at this time Cao Baoping has to prepare for the media conference of another project.

The crime suspense blockbuster "Scorching Sun" recently held a press conference in Beijing, unveiling its mystery in front of the audience for the first time.

Deng Chao, Duan Yihong, Guo Tao and other major creatives were all present and answered a series of questions from media reporters at the scene.

Although it is not as popular as last week's "Mermaid" by Xingxing, the endorsement of Soochow Films alone is enough to attract the attention of many people inside and outside the industry.

It's just that on the second day after the press conference, a big event broke out.

The cast member Gao Miao was detained by Chaoyang Liumen because of contraband.

Recently, the government has stepped up its crackdown on contraband. In addition to Gao Miao, Zhang Guoli's son also entered the palace for the second time.

"Yu Tang."

Cao Baoping's head turned big, and the call came to Zhou Yutang: "How do you think we should handle this matter?"

This film was rejected several times by reviewers in the early stage due to its scale.

Later, Zhou Yutang came forward to mediate and used a lot of connections to successfully pass the review. The company held a meeting to discuss and set the schedule in November.

The purpose is to get a head start on the Lunar New Year stalls.

Before the media conference, even the publicity plan had been released, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen.

This movie is an investment of tens of millions.

But just because of such a mouse excrement, it ruined the whole pot of porridge, and all the original publicity plans were cancelled.

"Teacher Cao, does he have many plays?"

"It's not much. The focus is on Duan Yihong and Deng Chao, but..."

"Postpone the release, we can't do any promotional work."

Zhou Yutang frowned slightly and said in a low tone but without comment: "Delete all his scenes and find someone else to make up for them."

"Yu Tang, the cost may increase a lot."

Cao Baoping's voice sounded a little surprised.

“The cost doesn’t matter.”

Zhou Yutang was decisive.

This is not discussing with Cao Baoping, but informing Cao Baoping about this matter.

He is sworn in with gambling and drug addiction, and he doesn't just talk about it.

The charity fund controlled by Zhou Yutang not only provides targeted assistance to impoverished mountainous areas in China every year, but also silently donates a lot behind the scenes to the families of the contraband police officers.

"Teacher Cao, please communicate with Li Shuang about who you want to use, and she will arrange it."

Cao Baoping was silent for a while, then sighed: "Okay, then I'll put aside what I'm doing."

Ni Ni, who was listening next to him, mourned for Gao Miao in his heart for a few seconds.

He was originally a promising actor, but he really would die if he didn't do it.

Being included in Jiangdong's blacklist, no matter how good his acting skills are, his career as an actor is considered useless.

However, it's not all bad.

Zhou Yutang was filming in Bay Province and received a notice from Pei Kang.

The official organized another round of movie viewings by units and institutions. In early August, it successfully helped the box office of "Chi Ling" pass 2 billion.

This is a moment worth remembering, and the official news once again gave a 20-second commendation report.

Various media outlets also followed suit, pushing the popularity up again and becoming a national hot topic.

Following "The Secret of the Dragon", "Red Ling" was another success, officially announcing that the ticket depth of the Chinese film market has entered the era of 2 billion, or even higher.

"Congratulations to Director Zhou for setting a box office record."

"Congratulations, Director Zhou."

"With two films that have achieved a box office of 2 billion, he is undoubtedly the number one director in the Chinese film industry."

Ke Jiayan looked at Zhou Yutang, who was surrounded by stars, her dark and bright eyes filled with brilliance and a hint of admiration.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou, the box office exceeded 2 billion, it's really amazing!"

Everyone in the crew, including Lao Mouzi, congratulated Peng Yuyan for being a good person and also delivered a rainbow fart immediately.

The haze caused by the bad things in "The Sun Burns Heart" has been swept away.

Li Shuang is already making arrangements, and when the follow-up filming is completed, it will be the same for the movie to be released next year.

There are many movies and TV series in the industry that have been backlogged for several years.

Miracles like "Chi Ling" are basically impossible to replicate.

At this time, Zhou Yutang was in a good mood. With a wave of his hand, he arranged for the whole crew to have a feast.

During the dinner, I chatted a little more with Peng Yuyan.

"Are your two dramas scheduled for the Lunar New Year?"

"Well, Mr. Zhou can give me more advice when he has time."

"If you want to develop in the mainland in the future, practice more Mandarin." Zhou Yutang gave him a pertinent suggestion.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for reminding me. I plan to live in the Magic City for the next few years."

Peng Yuyan nodded solemnly.

He and Hu Ge were famously good friends. They even bought a house and invested in opening a store in Shanghai.

"Takano said that you took good care of her on the crew of "The Year in a Hurry"."

Zhou Yutang smiled: "I'll thank you on her behalf."

Since "The Year in a Hurry" was dominated by Pony and Ray, Zhou Shufang pushed Takano to take over.

This is a very good resource for Takano.

"Everyone on the set is quite chatty. Takano's acting skills are very good and he helped me a lot."

Peng Yuyan lowered his attitude and said modestly: "I hope Mr. Zhou will support me more in the future."

This year's Lunar New Year holiday alone, he has two films to be released, "Once Upon a Time: A Hero Has a Dream" and "The Year in a Hurry".

The previous Once Upon a Time is a large-scale production jointly produced by Anle and Bona to restart the Once Upon a Time IP.

The latter youth campus romance film adapted from the novel by writer Jiu Yehui is a joint project between Galloping Pony and Guangguang.

A few days ago, he even took time off to attend the media conferences for these two dramas.

but.

As one of the three big and small students in the "Heavenly Banquet" promoted by Bay Province Capital, Peng Yuyan's attitude in front of Zhou Yutang was extremely respectful.
