Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Chapter 774: Lao Mouzi's new project, Spring in Seoul

As the top three directors in China.

Lao Mouzi certainly has full confidence in himself.

It was just that after the failure of the "Jinling Flowers" project, which he had devoted countless efforts to, he suffered a surging tide of doubts.

Then he decisively separated from Zhang Dapao and signed the studio with Jiangdong Entertainment.

Lao Mouzi has also reviewed the failure experience many times.

Seriously examine yourself, keep pace with the times and grasp the audience's aesthetic taste.

A true master always has the heart of an apprentice.

Zhang Yimou deeply agrees with this.

He did not live on the credit book of the past, but was always exploring and seeking opportunities to go further.

He even had in-depth exchanges with Zhou Yutang with the mentality of learning from others.

Then he was deeply amazed.

Zhou Yutang's vision, and the way and means of operating film and television projects are invincible in Lao Mouzi's heart.

Since joining Jiangdong, he has successively made "Hunting" and "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", which made him famous and wealthy and revived the prestige of a great director.

Zhang Yimou gradually felt relieved.

He could not grasp the market, but he could grasp Zhou Yutang.

"The Great Wall" is a major project co-produced by the two countries and a key project of China Film. LeTV has gambled its luck and failed to live up to the expectations of the world.

The burden was handed over to Director Chen. During the filming, La Peikang organized a group of first-line domestic directors to exchange and discuss.

Zhou Yutang and Zhang Yimou both went to see it, and came to the same conclusion after returning: this project may be ruined.

I had a brief talk with Mr. Wang of Ningying today.

Listening to him betting everything on a big production, Zhang Yimou also had similar concerns in his heart.

However, the relationship is not that close, and he is full of passion to make it bigger and stronger, so it is not good to pour cold water on him.

After saying a lot of polite words, it is inevitable to sigh when getting along with Zhou Yutang in private.

For a small studio like Ningying, if the big project it bets on fails, there is a high possibility of serious consequences.

After chatting all the way, when they were about to reach the company, Zhou Yutang suddenly remembered and asked, "Director Zhang, has Sister Mo's play been completed in post-production?"

"I was just about to tell you about this, how about we take a look together?"

When talking about his daughter's project, Lao Mouzi smiled and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

"Okay, Lu Yang is here today too, I'll call him along."

After sending a message to Lu Yang, Zhou Yutang and Lao Mouzi went straight to the second-floor screening room of Vision Media.

It is said that a photographer who doesn't want to be a director is not a good photographer.

At that time, Lao Mouzi worked as a photographer for Lao Tian and Chen Shishi, and later he became a photographer on his own.

His eldest daughter Zhang Mo worked behind the scenes with Lao Mouzi for several years, and has worked as a photographer, editor, and assistant director.

This year, he finally directed his first feature film, "Twenty-Eight Years Old".

Screening room.

Zhang Mo was talking to Li Xin, and there were laughter from time to time.

The two were talking and laughing when they suddenly heard footsteps outside, and then Zhang Yimou, Zhou Yutang, and Lu Yang came in one after another.

"Dad, Mr. Zhou, Director Lu." Zhang Mo was surprised.

"Mr. Zhou, Director Zhang, Director Lu."

Li Xin also stood up and greeted them one by one.

Zhou Yutang looked at Li Xin with some surprise: "Why are you here too?"

"I asked Li Xin to come over to watch the finished film together."

Zhang Mo chuckled and said, "I wanted to ask Chen Xiao to come over, but he was too busy. Now he has joined the crew again..."

"Boss~~"

Li Xin's eyes were full of surprise.

This tone was obviously different from the previous one, and Zhang Mo shuddered when he heard it.

Qin Bao usually speaks softly, but as a woman, and a married woman, she can hear a lot of things.

Even the straight man Lu Yang felt something was wrong. He smiled awkwardly, quietly retreated behind the crowd, and found a seat for himself.

"Let's watch the movie first."

Lao Mouzi coughed lightly and started to get to the point.

Zhang Mo swallowed his saliva, his face was hopeful, but he was a little restless.

It was a bit like the feeling of being called to the podium by the teacher to solve a problem when he was in school.

In the screening room, in addition to Zhang Yimou, who was called the national teacher, there was also Lu Yang, one of the three generals of Jiangdong. The martial arts film topped the list with 1 billion yuan, and he was the most popular.

And the real Jiangdong governor.

In terms of age, Zhou Yutang is actually five years younger than Zhang Mo, but it brought her great pressure.

"Xiao Lu, what do you think?"

After watching the movie, Lao Mouzi spoke, and Lu Yang scratched his head and laughed: "Well, it talks about the theme of women's growth, it's very healing, there are also funny points, and Li Xin's acting skills hold up... I feel that the degree of completion is quite high, what do you think, Mr. Zhou?"

This little rascal!

It looks like an evaluation, but it seems like nothing was said.

Lao Mouzi shook his head, and almost in sync with his daughter's gaze, he turned to Zhou Yutang.

After receiving the pass from Lu Yang, Governor Zhou sat back on the single sofa, his legs naturally crossed.

With his back straight, one hand relaxed on his thigh, his index finger tapped the coffee table rhythmically: "First of all, Sister Mo's pictures are beautiful."

"Thank you..."

"You're welcome, the technique is very solid, but there are still many problems..."

Zhou Yutang smiled, and then pointed out the shortcomings of the movie.

Using the not-so-novel method of time travel to express the nostalgia of the past self, dreams are greater than love.

There is nothing wrong with this, but the specific plot is too stereotyped.

With his words, the conversation started, and everyone started discussing this film in the screening room.

It can be seen that Zhang Mo has a solid foundation in photography, and he was indeed trained by Zhang Yimou.

In this movie, the heroine is Li Xin, the hero is Chen Xiao, and Wang Kai plays the second male lead.

The focus of the play is still on Li Xin. In this play, she has to play the same person at different ages.

At the age of 17, she is simple and brave, naive and willful.

At the age of 28, she smoothed her edges and corners, was cautious about love, and was at a loss when her relationship with her lover was gradually drifting away.

The audience must feel that these are two people.

The costumes of the movie have made great contributions.

Li Xin's costumes, including the vitality of a 17-year-old girl, are quite eye-catching.

The royal sister dress at the age of 28 is even more eye-catching.

A slim suit with a one-step skirt.

The thin black stockings wrapped around the pair of slender and well-proportioned beautiful legs, and a pair of Valentino stiletto high heels on her feet.

The whole person is full of the intellectuality and mature charm that a queen should have...

Well, Li Xin is quite suitable for wearing uniforms...

"Li Xin's acting is good."

Lao Mouzi also nodded, praising Jiangdong's own Qingyi seedling.

"Thank you Director Zhang."

Li Xin turned around and asked: "Boss, if the full score is 100, how many points will you give me?"

"80 points."

"Why only 80 points?"

"Leave some room, the score is too high, I'm afraid you will be proud."

Zhou Yutang teased seriously, Li Xin pursed her lips and chuckled happily.

But she didn't stay too long.

There is also a schedule for a fashion magazine shoot in the afternoon.

Zhou Yutang continued to talk to Lao Mouzi about the schedule of "28 Years Old".

In general, he is conservative about the market prospects of Zhang Mo's movie.

No way, who made her the daughter of Zhang Yimou?

Ordinary people may pass with 60 points, but she has to get 80 points.

The overall quality of this movie may not be 80 points.

Lao Mouzi pulled Zhou Yutang to chat, not just for Zhang Mo, but also talked about his own projects.

Zhang Yimou has not been idle during this period. He supervised Zhang Mo's "28-year-old Minor".

He also made a promotional short film plan for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Guo Shi was also the chief director of the cultural performance of the G20 Summit in Hangzhou this year.

There are many other official exchange meetings, forums and other activities. He is also busy preparing his first stage play "Dialogue Fable 2047"...

This is not over yet. He took time to go to Jingzhou again.

"Jingzhou?"

"Yes, my new play is going to be filmed in Jingzhou."

...

Zhou Yutang sometimes really doubts whether Guo Shi has got some system.

Otherwise, how can he be so energetic that even young people are ashamed of themselves?

On the way to accept an interview program.

In his mind, he is still thinking about Guo Shi's new project.

When Lao Mouzi was making "The Return", he got the script in his hand.

That is the "Three Kingdoms·Jingzhou" written by Zhu Sujin, a famous screenwriter in the industry.

This person is a leader in the historical drama screenwriter industry. His representative works "Kangxi Dynasty", "Jiangshan Fengyuqing" and "Zhu Yuanzhang" are all well-received works in the hearts of history fans.

Oh, Zhu Sujin also collaborated with Gao Qianqian on the TV series "New Three Kingdoms", which received mixed reviews.

Originally, Zhu Sujin handed the script of "Three Kingdoms·Jingzhou" to Zhang Li.

At that time, Director Zhang was ambitious and wanted to use this movie as a starting point to enter the film industry.

The project was once in preparation, and there was even gossip that Zhou Yutang was invited to play Zhou Yu, Zhang Yi to play Lu Su, and Yu Rongguang to play Guan Yu.

Later, it was abandoned due to various realistic factors.

On the one hand, Zhang Li could not invite the Grand Commander.

Of course, the more important reason is that there was still capital that paid a sky-high price to invite Zhang Li to direct "Martial Universe", which was adapted from the popular online literature IP...

So, this script went around and finally fell into the hands of Lao Mouzi's team.

Zhu Sujin's script was processed according to Lao Mouzi's ideas.

New wine in old bottles, with the skin of the Three Kingdoms.

Using the image technology of ink and color narrative style, combined with many excellent traditional Chinese cultural elements such as gossip, yin and yang, zither and harp...

Is it bold?

Lao Mouzi always has his own artistic pursuit in mind.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything about one shot...

...

"The postponed screening of "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" ended, and the final total box office was 1.028 billion. The rivers and lakes, the temples, the generous and tragic songs, and the perfect ending!"

The smoke of the summer season has dissipated, and "Embroidered Spring Blade 2", which has been leading the whole process, has finally left the stage.

The entire "Embroidered Spring Blade" series has created a new record for domestic martial arts movies.

Huang Xiaoming, who just announced the male lead of "Nirvana in Fire 2" at Noon Sunshine, was inspired.

He posted a small essay on Weibo late at night.

Thanked the entire crew, especially Zhou Yutang.

Don’t underestimate Huang Xiaoming, who debuted early and has starred in a lot of movies.

Most of them are favors, and there are few movies that can be shown off.

It was Zhou Yutang who gave him the resources of the "Embroidered Spring Blade" series. The two movies combined have a box office of more than 1.5 billion yuan. When he mentions the actual performance in the future, he will have confidence.

At the same time, the promotion of the big movies in the National Day file has begun to be strengthened.

Zhou Yutang has already said that "Operation Mekong" will be locked in this year's National Day file.

Naturally, Jiangdong will push it through all channels.

Even the official media and various first-line TV stations have come out to promote this movie.

Happy Twist's "Mr. Donkey" was put on the end of October, mainly to pick up a leak.

As for Zhang Mo's "28-Year-Old Minor" and Zhang Yimou's "The Buddha", both are in December, grabbing the first hand in the Lunar New Year period.

Jiang Dong's second half of the year list was released, and Huayi also held a grand press conference. Xiao Wang announced at the meeting: "I Am Not Madame Bovary" will be scheduled on September 30, ready to hit the National Day period with all our strength!"

When asked by reporters about the conflict with Guo Xiaosi's "Lord of the Rings" and Jiang Dong's "Operation Mekong".

Xiao Gangpao was calm and composed, and put on the airs of the three veteran directors: "Yu Tang doesn't need to be mentioned. I have seen the trailer of Jiang Dong's movie, it's very impressive, but he is only the producer of this movie...

As for Guo Xiaosi, hey, I have long passed the stage of PK with anyone..."

The implication is that he doesn't take Guo Xiaosi seriously at all.

He turned around and led the crew abroad. Teacher Fan, the insider in the team, sent a message to Zhou Yutang: "Do you have confidence? Little Steel Cannon wants to confront you head-on."

"He's floating."

"Dear, I want to go to Anfield to watch Liverpool play."

"You buy a ticket to go in and watch the game, can I stop you?"

Zhou Yutang joked while talking to Teacher Fan.

Teacher Fan is so good.

In the eyes of outsiders, the domineering Fan Ye is both mature and beautiful, and is the dream lover of countless men.

This can be seen from the sales of Taobao simulation inflatable dolls counted by big hands.

Teacher Fan ranked second, and the highest was Sister Zhilin, who was at the peak of charm, more than ten times more than Teacher Fan...

Such a beautiful queen, occasionally acting coquettishly, also has her own charm.

Recently, Teacher Fan has a lot of overseas schedules, first going to Toronto, and then going to Paris to attend Fashion Week, and then the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain...

It happened that the Premier League started, and she was tempted.

Liu Tianxian and Liu Shishi both wanted to enter Anfield to feel the atmosphere.

Well, the kind that has the privilege to enter the stadium, she wants to take pictures and post them on social media platforms.

After soft and hard persuasion, Zhou Yutang agreed.

Let the little steel cannon be dragged to the sky, the beautiful Fan Jinlian, isn't it still the property of Mr. Zhou?

The Dynasty Hotel has a presidential suite reserved for Zhou Yutang for many years.

Go directly to the hotel's internal elevator in the underground parking lot and open the door.

IU looked out.

Seeing that it was Zhou Yutang who opened the door and came in, her dark and bright eyes instantly shone like stars.

The next moment, that warm body fell into Zhou Yutang's arms.

The passionate and lingering kiss replaced words.

"Oppa, wait a minute, I'm still wearing the custom dress for the meeting."

"The dress is what I want."

"…"

IU wore a red lace wrap dress today.

In addition to being sweet, she also has a mature temperament, showing a goddess style.

A few strands of her hair were scattered.

With her swan-like snow-white neck tilted back, this South Korean natural singer uttered a gentle and moving low hum...

...

IU originally had no business endorsements in China, but she had many fans.

This time, the ban on South Korea was announced, and the company adjusted its internal business.

At her request, the last meeting to say goodbye to Chinese fans was arranged.

IU's attitude towards fans is beyond words, and she is also attentive to Chinese fans.

The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene also made her cry, and her tears were really pitiful.

"Oppa, our country seems to be finished."

After the rain hit the banana leaves, IU curled up obediently in Zhou Yutang's arms, and suddenly said worriedly.

"You mean the one with the surname Choi?"

"How do you know?"

IU raised her head and said with some worry: "Oppa seems to have taken a photo with her daughter. Will there be any trouble?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

Zhou Yutang felt warm in his heart, but he smiled calmly, and gently stroked IU's round shoulders with his fingers.

Last time he went to South Korea on business, the current Kaka hosted a banquet for him, and he brought his bestie and daughter to attend, and took a group photo afterwards.

Although Zhou Yutang is behind the scenes now, his control over South Korea has not weakened at all.

Just yesterday, it was revealed that Kaka's loyal bestie interfered in national affairs.

He even got the news earlier than the South Koreans.

The world is a huge makeshift team, and it's nothing for besties to interfere in politics.

Jeon Young-joon also staged Seoul Spring.

Zhou Yutang plans to make the Seoul Spring incident into a movie, and let the independent JD.Entertainment and Showbox produce it.

Let the Koreans have a good time and harvest a wave of box office revenue.

You have to earn dollars, but you can't forget the money from the Koreans. Even a mosquito leg is meat.

Work at sunset and rest at sunrise.

With a beautiful woman in his arms, Zhou Yutang slept very sweetly and even had a dream.

The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves.

Seoul Spring is still conservative.

After several years, there is still the most affectionate person in the peninsula, who is angry for silicone and staged Seoul Winter...
