Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Yuan Hong felt a little depressed when he thought about it.

After I finished filming Sword of Sword III, I felt like I was going to pick my feet at home.

He turned his depression into appetite and gave himself another big bowl of rice.

"Is the movie Yu Tang is going to make also a youth-type movie?"

Tang Yan's big eyes flashed and she asked Hu Ge curiously.

She also had a youth romance film released this year. Although it didn't even make a splash, under the company's operation, she successfully won the Best Actress at the Beijing College Student Film Festival and the Best TV Movie at the Magic City TV Festival. Double nomination for actress.

Media releases called it a supernova shining in the film industry.

After filming the TV series "Sword and Sword III", the company also plans to let her enter the Hong Kong circle.

"It's a youth genre film that Lao Zhou is good at. I think it will be popular."

Hu Ge pointed at Liu Shishi opposite and said with a smile: "I don't know how much more. Just ask Shi Shi. She is the heroine and she must know more than me."

"Well, that's pretty much what the old nonsense said."

Liu Shishi was very strict and did not reveal any information.

There is a confidentiality clause in the signed contract, and no film-related information can be leaked to the outside world.

The relationship is good, but Liu Shishi still knows clearly which is more important.

"I also feel that Yu Tang's movie will be a big hit."

Tang Yan stretched out her fair little hand, clenched her little fist, pretended to be a microphone and handed it to Liu Shishi's mouth: "Ahem, hello Miss Liu Shishi, I am CCTV reporter Tang Yan, I want to interview you. What do you think of the heroine in Zhou Yutang’s movie?”

"What are you doing, Tangtangyou?"

Liu Shishi found it a little funny.

This Tang Yan usually looks cute and cute, and her reactions are always slow. I didn't expect that she has such humor.

Hu Ge, Yuan Hong and others also followed suit and shouted for her to be interviewed, but no one noticed that Yang Mi's smile was a little forced.

"Well, actually, I don't have any special feelings."

Liu Shishi showed a gentle and sweet smile and replied gracefully: "I didn't expect that I would get this opportunity. Although I can't reveal too much, what I can tell you is that this adaptation of Yu Tang's novel The movie is definitely a very touching and emotional story.”

At this point, she winked playfully: "When the movie comes out, you must go to the cinema to support it."

"."

When Yang Mi heard this, her chest suffocated and she drank silently.

She also auditioned for Zhou Yutang's movie, but the lead role was ultimately won by Liu Shishi.

This is actually a moderate blow to Damimi, who has had a smooth career since her debut.

However, the conversation about Zhou Yutang's movie was very lively at this time, and no one noticed the abnormality of Da Mimi. Hu Ge shouted: "Will the movie tickets be reimbursed?"

Liu Shishi said innocently: "If you want to reimburse yourself, ask Zhou Yutang. He is the boss, and I am just a small actor."

"Alas, the world is so cold. After all, we are brothers and sisters in the same sect. We don't even have this little friendship anymore."

Hu Ge deliberately acted strangely and pretended to be sad.

"Haha, Lao Hu, stop pretending."

Liu Shishi didn't accept his trick at all, and happily said: "Yu Tang told me, you lost that bet, and you said you would book the theater to support this movie. A man, you must keep your word."

"What bet?"

Yuan Hong asked curiously.

"It was this year's Champions League final. There were two people making a bet at midfield."

Liu Shishi smiled narrowly: "Yu Tang and I support Milan. Old Hu Fei said Liverpool can reverse the situation."

"If Zhou Yutang loses, he will buy 100 records of Lao Hu's own album. If Lao Hu loses, he will wait for the movie to be released and book the theater to support him!"

"Is there still such a thing?"

Yuan Hong was stunned.

"Ask Lao Hu yourself."

"Well, that's what happened."

Hu Ge scratched his head and said, "Let's do it this way. When the movie premieres, any of you who are in Shanghai will come over and I'll reserve a hall. It can also be regarded as a celebration of Shi Shi's first movie heroine."

"Thank you, Old Hu."

Liu Shishi's quiet little face showed a gentle smile.

Hu Ge has an out-of-the-box personality. Although he is usually a bit funny and playful and not as mature and steady as Zhou Yutang, he still takes great care of his friends.

After the finals banquet held for Zhou Yutang, some members of the crew went to Hengdian's famous Three Streets to relax and massage their feet, but this kind of occasion was obviously not suitable for Liu Shishi and the others.

Then we went to the Qiangui KTV. By the time the karaoke activity was over, it was already past 1 o'clock when we returned to the hotel.

Listening to Tang Yan's gentle breathing next to him, Liu Shishi lay on the soft bed, but couldn't sleep.

Picking up the phone and taking a look, he seemed a little hesitant about whether calling so late would disturb Zhou Yutang.

I finally decided to make a call, but I didn't expect to receive the call right away.

"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet? I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"I just took a shower and was watching TV."

Zhou Yutang stopped typing, turned up the TV volume slightly, and chuckled, "Aren't you asleep too?"

"Well, Mimi drank a lot of wine by herself at night. When Sister Jia came to pick her up, she almost fainted."

Liu Shishi was very lively and wanted to share with Zhou Yutang the interesting things he encountered today.

Zhou Yutang listened quietly. He stayed at the KTV for a while tonight, and spent most of his time keeping in touch with Li Guoli and his gang.

"By the way, Yu Tang, when will the filming of our movie start?"

"Next month, the preliminary preparations are almost done, wait until I finish other work in the capital."

"Yu Tang."

Liu Shishi hesitated for a while, and finally expressed his worries buried deep in his heart: "You said that now all the movies are starred by big stars. I am not famous and my acting skills are not good. How can I drag you down by then?" What to do?"

"I believe in my own vision and I believe in you. That's enough."

Hearing this, Zhou Yutang comforted: "There is no problem with the movie script. You are very suitable for this role. There is also a special acting coach in the crew. Did I tell you? Teacher Zhang Songwen is very powerful and knows how to teach people. His acting skills are It can grow slowly.”

He could also understand Liu Shishi's anxiety.

This movie is also the biggest challenge she has ever encountered since becoming an actress. Her mentality is probably a bit similar to that of a high school senior who has mid-range grades but is about to take the college entrance examination.

There was unavoidable fear and confusion, and all I could think about was what to do if I failed the exam.

At this time, women usually don't want to hear some great truth, but they just want someone to stand on her side, encourage her, and support her.

It just so happened that Zhou Yutang was the Chicken Soup Master, and he used his sharp tongue that night to inject a lot of positive energy into Shi Shi.

"Aren't you worried?"

"Um?"

"Then go to bed early, good night."

"Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Shishi was thinking about Zhou Yutang's words. He closed his eyes and fell into a quiet and peaceful sleep, with a gentle and gentle smile on his lips.

I believe you, this is enough.

……………………

the next day.

Zhou Yutang returned to the capital and reported to the teacher's office first.

This time I even bought some more specialties, both from Teacher Yao and Teacher Tian.

The dormitory is still the same, Zhang Ruojun is almost lazy, the dirty clothes are piled up in a pile, Brother Long is soaking in the pull-out room as usual, studying his acting skills, and the bed board is still as hard.

"The scenes between Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun have been filmed, and their performance on the set is still very good. Director Liu Jiang praised these two newcomers for their talent."

"Zeng Li currently has five short-term business deals and several commercial performances, all of which are scheduled for two months later. She is still out of town to catch up on announcements, so I asked Xiaofang to follow her. By the way, she There are also a few notebooks, I feel they are pretty good, please take a look."

When he first arrived at the studio, listening to Sister Shuang's work report, Zhou Yutang picked up the script invitations from Sister Li and took a look at them.

The script co-produced by Hong Kong director Ye Zhaoyi and the Magic City Film Group is called "From Nine to Evening". It is an urban love drama with a literary and artistic orientation. The leading actor is Lin Wenlong, a veteran actor from TVB.

Zhou Yutang read it over and felt that the plot was a bit cliche. He was not very optimistic about this project and just passed it.

There is also a spy war drama, which tells the story of several underground workers from different forces fighting each other for a secret file during the Anti-Japanese War. The role of Sister Li is not very good.

"Put it all down, these dramas are not very interesting."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and said, "There is news from Teacher Long Yi. On the 15th of this month, he will come to the capital to meet with me in detail. Please help me make time then."

"The one from the Chinese Writers Association."

Li Shuang nodded, wrote down the date and made notes, and asked curiously: "You seem to be very optimistic about Teacher Long's works."

“I’ve watched a few of them, they’re really good.”

"Is it "The Boy on the Roof" or "Days Without Heroes"? I checked, and both of these short stories and short stories have won awards."

"neither."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled: "It's "Latent". This short story by Teacher Long is very interesting."

"It's not those two novels."

Li Shuang was also slightly stunned.

It is common for novels to be adapted into screenplays in the industry, but most of them are adapted into screenplays from some important works, which naturally attracts attention.

Teacher Long Yi has written many novels, but he is a traditional literati. Apart from the few novels that have won awards, his other works, including "Latent", are basically not famous.

Zhou Yutang nodded and said slowly: "This work has a main theme, a compact plot, and the supporting characters can also be explored. It should be the pinnacle work of Teacher Long Yi's writing career. I will change the script and Sister Li will play the heroine. I think Can fire."

"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements."

Li Shuang nodded slightly. She didn't understand Long Yi or the script.

But she knew Zhou Yutang well and knew that this was a person who would never aim without aim.

A tacit understanding has been formed between the two people. As long as it is something Zhou Yutang decides, she will execute it unconditionally.

This matter actually started to be planned from the literati dinner held after the book signing in Magic City.

Although I had some ideas at the time, it was just my first meeting with Teacher Long Yi and I was not too familiar with him, so I left a good impression in advance.

Later, they often communicated with each other, and the two seemed to have known each other for years, and it was almost time for their relationship to blossom and bear fruit.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

Zhou Yutang's fingers clicked gently on the tabletop rhythmically.

The beautiful figure in Tsing Yi came to mind, and the gentle smile in Zhou Yutang's eyes grew stronger.

Sister Li, I want to lift you up to the altar with one hand.

……………………

Two days later.

On the way to the set of "Let's Get Married", Zhou Yutang sat in the back seat and listened to Sister Shuang in the passenger seat reporting the itinerary.

"Yu Tang, would you like to consider the announcements from Benzhou and South Korea? The prices are really sincere."

"How much is the quote?"

"Wansheng offers 300,000 yuan per game."

"So high?"

Zhou Yutang was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he shook his head: "Forget it, I'm tired from traveling so far. I just finished filming "The Legend of Sword" and I want to take some time off to adjust myself and prepare for the movie. "

Li Shuang turned his head and said quietly: "I'm talking about the quotation from Wansheng in mid-July. At the end of July, your name was ranked third in South Korea's Naver search, and it was also highly discussed in several forums."

"Currently, the entertainment company in South Korea has quoted a price of 500,000 per game. Please come over and do activities. There are also several chaebol group shopping malls that have opened, and they have also given quotations. It is about this price. I personally think that accepting it will greatly increase your popularity. benefit"

"Sister Shuang, please look at the arrangements."

Zhou Yutang was slightly startled and a little surprised.

He heard from Li Shuang that after KBS TV station introduced "Want to See You" to be broadcast, the ratings in South Korea exploded, and it was basically invincible during the same period, but he never expected that he would become so popular.

However, this popularity is time-sensitive. When the popularity of TV series over there gradually subsides, his popularity will slowly decline.

Since everyone sincerely added money, it would be a bit unreasonable not to make a big profit.

……………………

Early August.

Zhou Yutang joins the group "Let's Get Married".

In this drama, he plays Yang Tao's best friend Jiao Yang, which is a guest appearance and he doesn't have many roles.

However, although there are not many scenes, this character also plays a key role in advancing the plot in the play, mainly allowing the heroine Yang Tao and the hero to resolve their misunderstandings and prejudices about each other, and begin to truly understand each other.

"Yu Tang, you're finally here."

Senior Brother Liu Jiang grinned when he saw Zhou Yutang.

He knew that Zhou Yutang had just finished filming on the set of "Sword and Sword III" and that he would have a movie project next. This further proved that his opinion of his junior at the film school was correct.

"Sorry, Senior Brother Liu, the filming over there is in a hurry, which has slowed down the progress here."

Zhou Yutang also greeted Liu Jiang with a smile and took the initiative to explain the situation.

"It's not a big problem, Yu Tang. Are you almost done with the pre-production preparations for your movie?"

Senior Brother Liu Jiang patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder familiarly.

The two people talked closely, and the crew on the set were also all good people. Looking at this situation, you will know it when you think about it.

If you were an ordinary actor, let alone asking Director Liu Jiang to adjust the shooting plan, if you dare to join the cast a few days late, no matter what your reason is, according to Director Liu Jiang's temper, he will not pamper you and will just let you go.

Zhou Yutang still has face.

In fact, "Let's Get Married" was launched earlier than "Sword and Sword III", and it was almost in the final stage at this time.

Only a few big scenes in the play and Zhou Yutang's scenes are left to be reshot.

After chatting with Brother Liu for a while and clarifying today's shooting plan, Zhou Yutang went to find Gao Yuanyuan.

Today we filmed the scene with the fountain in the garden of Gao Yuanyuan Hotel.

This drama is said to have an investment cost of more than 50 million. In fact, it is definitely not that much. However, Senior Brother Liu Jiang has a very deep routine. News of the large-scale TV series endorsed by CCTV and Hunan Television spread out and sold a lot of advertisements. Almost all of it was spent in the early stage. Almost paying for itself.

Therefore, the crew here is extremely wealthy, and the scene layout of each episode is all in pursuit of high-end atmosphere and class.

Those who work are in large-scale productions, and those who work are in CCTV and Hunan-Taiwan Drama King.

shooting scene.

The lobby of a five-star hotel in Beijing.

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

"Ready, director."

"OK, ready to start."

"Tap up your makeup."

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

This scene tells the story of Guo Ran and Yang Tao who dislike each other. They got drunk at KTV one night and started talking bad words. The next day when they got drunk, Guo Ran took the initiative to explain to the hotel where Yang Tao worked because of the face of his friend Duan Xifeng.

As expected, the man in the suit apologized with a coy face: "Well, hello, Star Tao. The one who drank too much last night, your brother-in-law also lives with me, and I don't know what nonsense he said last night, so I came here specially to say hello to you today. Please explain."

"Explain what? There is nothing to explain."

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and stood at the front desk operating the computer with an impatient look on her face: "I'm telling you, my time is very precious, and I don't have time to waste it on you. I'll just say, I'm not a nymphomaniac, I'm not a nymphomaniac at all. I don’t like you!”

"very good!"

Sure enough, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope you didn't say angry words."

"."

Gao Yuanyuan was completely speechless.

Family members, this common man is really humble.

You don't know how to look in the mirror to see what you look like. Do you think this girl fell in love with you at first sight?

Seeing that she really felt good about herself, Sister Yuanyuan couldn't bear it. She turned her eyes and suddenly had a plan in mind.

On the pretext that chatting in the hotel lobby was not a good influence, Guo Ran was coaxed under the fountain outside the hotel, and then at the right time, water was poured from the top of the fountain, drenching Guo Ran all over.

"Click, do it again!"

I squirted and got wet, but during the conversation between the two, Gao Yuanyuan obviously started laughing. The rhythm was wrong, so the director had to stop and reshoot the scene.

"sorry."

Gao Yuanyuan apologized decisively.

"Take a break and adjust."

Director Liu Jiang nodded and discussed the next shooting plan with the assistant director beside him. As expected, he was also good-tempered, so he smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Next, the male lead had to change clothes and blow dry his hair. After waiting for a while, Zhou Yutang went up to say hello to Gao Yuanyuan: "Sister Yuanyuan, don't laugh when you see me happy. Be professional and reshoot this scene. It would cost tens of thousands more to reopen the fountain."

"Ah, so expensive!?"

Gao Yuanyuan was also a little surprised, and she felt a little embarrassed and a little guilty. After all, she was the one who dragged down the crew.

But when he saw Zhou Yutang beside him, he immediately glared at him: "It's not your fault. Why did you smile so brightly just now? It distracted me."

Hey, woman.
