Chapter 85: Trampling and networking, a masterpiece, amazing! [Please subscribe and ask for monthly
Zhou Yutang has very clear plans for the development of his acting career.
Only high-quality products.
Under normal circumstances, Kodong Studio can organize the script by itself. If there is a good script from outside, it can also be negotiated.
Li Shuang has no objection to this
Sister Shuang has no doubts about Zhou Yutang's abilities.
Since his debut, every step he has taken has been the most correct choice.
but.
Sister Shuang also gave suggestions from a professional perspective.
If he takes on an outside role, the prerequisite must be a male lead, and the salary cannot be lower than that of a second-tier star. This is based on the current situation.
If the response to the broadcasts of "Sword and Sword III" and "Those Years" are within the expected range, the remuneration will still be raised.
Sister Shuang seems to be very obsessed with Zhou Yutang's promotion of the celebrity status.
While Koto Studio was quietly developing and growing, the influence of "Let's Get Married" continued to ferment.
"Golden Wedding" has opened up the marriage-themed TV drama market, and the predecessors planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. "Let's Get Married" has broken the previous record held by "Golden Wedding" when CCTV and Mango TV frantically distributed the draft. It set a single episode ratings record and officially became the drama king of the year.
Gao Yuanyuan was so red that she turned purple.
The recent entertainment headlines have been full of her news, which overwhelms Fan Xiaopang who likes to publish press releases.
Da Meiyuan herself did not expect that it would become so popular.
Some professionals analyze that the main reason is that the character of Yang Tao, an independent woman in the new era, appears at a clever time.
Previously, the stereotype of provincial idol dramas was popular in China, and the heroine must be a silly girl with a miserable life experience.
Where have I seen a new era independent female character like Yang Tao?
Elegant, beautiful and down-to-earth, sometimes fierce and sometimes reserved, she has been hurt by a scumbag, kind, sensible and beautiful alone, but she longs for love.
Just like the living people around us, we naturally have a sense of empathy.
When female viewers watch the show, they imagine themselves to be Star Tao in their minds, and they are fascinated by it.
Male viewers also watched with great enthusiasm.
Da Meiyuan is really beautiful, she was the winner of the Goddess Contest held by the Men's Forum.
Who doesn’t want to fall in love with a goddess like Gao Yuanyuan and then marry her as his wife?
Da Meiyuan was very happy, and so was Zhou Yutang.
Under the arrangement of the crew, she appeared on the first domestic entertainment variety show.
He even expressed in front of the camera many times:
"For this drama to be so successful, I think Zhou Yutang, as the screenwriter, deserves a lot of credit."
"Let me tell you something interesting. In fact, I met him for the first time that night, and he wrote the script that night."
"And Yu Tang saw me as the heroine at first sight. I also think he portrayed Yang Tao, an independent and self-loving girl, very well. The audience may only be watching Yang Tao looking for love and not notice that Yu Tang deliberately Several different marriages are told from different angles and in a very delicate way to highlight the value of true love. I think he has a deep intention to make the audience reflect through comparison. As a result, I can cherish my feelings even more, which I really admire.”
"You asked about the scandal some time ago? We really just went to a restaurant to have dinner together. We have a very good relationship in private. I am really grateful to brother Yu Tang. Without him, there would be no such classic character as Yang Tao, and Without this TV series that could be liked by the audience, I would still be his fan."
Gao Yuanyuan did not hesitate to express her appreciation for Zhou Yutang in front of the camera and called her affectionate.
This has also led more viewers to speculate on the authenticity of the love story that the media was hyping up some time ago.
Of course, it also gave Zhou Yutang a large number of fans.
A large part of them are female fans.
They feel that a man who can create a modern independent woman like Yang Tao is not only talented but must also understand women very well.
Zhou Yutang is still in school and has no idea that he has become a friend of women that is being hyped by the media.
It would take some time for the money back from the TV station to come through. During this period, Zhou Yutang stayed in seclusion and settled down.
He has been exposed enough, it's time to calm down and polish the script.
But the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
Zhou Yutang, who has been in the spotlight recently, is still being targeted.
The cause of the matter must be mentioned in the recently popular TV series "Struggle".
The TV series "Struggle", written by the famous writer Shi Kang and directed by the domestic first-line director Zhao Baogang, immediately aroused a great response after it was broadcast on Beijing Channel.
This modern youth drama with a rich flavor of the times has made Tong Dawei, Hua Zhao and Zhu Yuchen famous in one fell swoop.
In terms of ratings, because there was a strong rival like "Another Dream" during the same period, it was not as good as the drama "Golden Wedding" in the second half of the year, but it can already be regarded as a hit drama.
This year is really the year when domestic film and television dramas explode.
"Want to See You" at the beginning of the year was a standout, followed by "New Magic City" starring Huang Xiaoming, which also received an enthusiastic response.
Hunan Satellite TV's follow-up Qiong Yao drama "Another Dream" is inextricably linked to "Struggle".
In the second half of the year, Zhang Guoli's "Golden Wedding" opened up the marriage genre market, and "Let's Get Married" took advantage of the trend and became a hit.
Zhou Yutang also watched the drama "Struggle", but didn't like it very much.
The title of the play is "Struggle", and the content is about a few people talking nonsense together all day long, complaining about each other's poverty, but I haven't seen them do anything serious yet.
The male protagonist Lu Tao, a second-generation rich man, starts off by using other people's money to realize his ideals. Is this also called struggle?
As for the female characters in the film, I don’t see them struggling at all. They are all idealistic.
Zhou Yutang’s personal understanding of struggle is not like this.
The real struggle should be to realize your ideal step by step and down-to-earth. That kind of process is the most beautiful.
The director of this drama is Zhao Baogang, who has directed several popular TV dramas such as "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind". He has profound skills and a good grasp of the rhythm.
Although the plot doesn't hold up, the overall pace is good.
Therefore, this drama made the three brothers famous in one fell swoop, and now the media is touting Hua Hui as the best actor in the new generation.
The coat of arms is also like a spring breeze, and I can control myself at first. Later, when the media kept comparing Zhou Yutang with the coat of arms, I became a little impatient.
The high-spirited coat of arms said: "I am not following the path of an idol. I am a capable actor. The audience knows me through my performances. I think this is the greatest compliment to me. If "Struggle" is broadcast at the beginning of the year, I believe the ratings will be much higher than they are now.”
Who is the idol faction he refers to?
Although he didn't name him by name, anyone with some brains would know that he was talking about Zhou Yutang.
What does that mean?
Zhou Yutang is handsome and an idol actor. He flaunts himself as a capable actor.
"Struggle" just encountered a strong enemy. If it were launched at the beginning of the year, the ratings would be higher than "Want to See You", or even higher.
Soon, the media who wanted to cause trouble came to the door and excitedly asked Zhou Yutang what he thought.
Zhou Yutang didn't pay attention, and informed Sister Shuang by the way, refusing all interviews about his relationship with the heraldry, and directly blacklisted these media troublemakers from the studio, and they would no longer cooperate with her in the future.
For this kind of thing, no response is the best response.
Once you end up, it will be endless and very unsatisfactory.
Zhou Yutang is very calm, but some people can't be calm.
The first is Tsing Yi beauty Zeng Li. She said in an interview with the media: "Zhou Yutang is the most talented new actor I have ever seen. I am amazed by her acting performance right after her debut."
Then another good sister, Da Meiyuan, was still promoting the TV series. When being interviewed by the media, she couldn't help but stand up and speak for Zhou Yutang:
"Some time ago, some people said that Zhou Yutang is an idol. I think this view is very ridiculous. Zhou Yutang is my younger brother who has a good relationship with me. I know his abilities very well. He is really powerful. He is no worse than anyone else and does not need to prove it. What, time will give everyone the best answer."
Even director Liu Jiang stood up and said: "Some people say that Zhou Yutang is an idol. It is really ridiculous. He is a very talented young man."
"The TV series "Want to Meet You" received high evaluations at the TV Drama Seminars of Japan, Korea and China. Zhou Yutang's acting skills were well received by the public and he has many fans in South Korea. The drama "Let's Get Married" directed by me , if it were not for the script written by Yu Tang, it would not be possible to have such excellent results. I heard that Yu Tang wrote, directed and acted in a movie. I am looking forward to it and hope that everyone will support it when it is released."
"Sister Yuanyuan, why did you get involved in this matter?"
Zhou Yutang first called Director Liu Jiang and Sister Li, and then received a call from Da Meiyuan who was dumbfounded.
"I can't stand it anymore. Who is this person? He just made some achievements and is so arrogant?"
Gao Yuanyuan was very angry on the phone.
"Don't pay attention to him. He was probably screwed by the media too."
Zhou Yutang said calmly.
That's what I said, but I felt a little touched in my heart.
Da Meiyuan is usually a very calm person, and it is basically impossible to see her arguing with other female stars.
Being able to stand up and speak for himself in front of the media shows that he has been in love for a long time and his position in his heart is still quite important.
This is not over yet.
After Zeng Li and Gao Yuanyuan came forward to speak, Huang Xiaoming, the first brother of domestic entertainment, also fired: "Yu Tang is my good brother. One of the songs in my new album was composed by him. I will invite him to join me in a few days." singing party.
As for his acting skills? I don't think there is anything to argue about. The TV series "Want to Meet You" can be regarded as a real hit series in terms of ratings and reputation. I have watched it several times and Yu Tang's performance is very sophisticated. , unlike a newbie, I believe many viewers can give the answer to this. "
Zhang Guoli, another big shot in the Beijing circle, is very low-key. With his status, it would be beneath his status to argue with a junior.
He called Zhao Baogang directly.
I don’t know what Director Zhao said to Huaizhi, but he sent an apology letter the next day, saying that he was unscrupulous in his words and apologized sincerely.
Zhou Yutang ignored it, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Anyway, from now on, whenever Huaile mentioned Zhou Yutang in front of the media, he would take the initiative to shut up and not even say a word.
This inexplicable secret fight between newcomers gradually subsided.
Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Guoli, both Zhou Yutang, also called one by one to express their thanks.
It's normal to say that it's normal to be criticized in the entertainment industry. The coat of arms suddenly became popular, which was a bit overwhelming, but he and Zhou Yutang didn't know each other personally. One was down-to-earth, and the other was recognized as a handsome guy in the industry.
The two have never met each other, let alone have any grudges.
It was only under the deliberate guidance of certain media that these complaints were made.
Today's media is notoriously unethical.
Take Huang Xiaoming and Fan Xiaopang for example. These two big names are very generous in media and public relations. They spend a lot of money every year, but they are also the ones who suffer the worst every year.
All kinds of black manuscripts.
It's nothing new for Huang Xiaoming to go to a nightclub and dance with several young models.
What's even worse is Fan Xiaopang, who has been exposed to all kinds of scandals. Not long ago, there was news that she was having an affair with a big brother in Hong Kong.
Media reporters who are related to the entertainment industry are so real.
As long as there are viewers who like to watch it, it doesn't matter who you are as a big star, you can still take a bad photo.
The heraldry can only be regarded as an ordinary thing, nothing more than child's play.
At this stage, all Zhou Yutang can do is not to respond, and he has nothing to do with the media.
If he waits for his career to advance a few steps and evolves into a capital boss, then the energy he can use can directly strangle the spread of news that is not beneficial to him from the source.
That's called dimensionality reduction strike.
The situation gradually calmed down, and at this time many people in the industry suddenly discovered it.
Zhou Yutang, who only debuted for a year, has accumulated such a strong network of contacts without making any noise.
The coat of arms is quite miserable. He was originally a high-spirited and popular young man, but his fan base is not stable after all. In terms of background, nothing compares to Zhou Yutang's development this year.
Zhou Yutang's personal forum alone has more than 100,000 followers of Jiangdong Navy. Although Sister Shuang's assistant has been asked to post messages to restrain fans on the forum from excessive behavior, there are still fans who can't stand the face of the villain in the coat of arms. Spontaneously ran to the personal forum and blog opposite to ridicule.
It directly made classmate Huaizhi autistic.
Zhou Yutang didn't take this matter to heart.
Most of his energy is focused on adapting the script of "Insidious" and another project of his studio, "Staying Together".
"Although "Struggle" is also a hit drama, it is really inferior to "Want to Meet You". You have ignored the chaotic rhythm recently and settled down to do things. This is very good."
In the Nortel teacher's office, Teacher Yao crossed his legs and looked at his proud disciple with a smile.
The media has been going crazy lately, and Teacher Yao has heard about it. Compared with heraldry, she is arrogant and makes mistakes in front of the media. She is very pleased that Zhou Yutang can continue to control his heart and continue to make progress.
"Keep up the good work, I'm optimistic about you. Make a phenomenal blockbuster work and make your teacher proud."
Looking up at Yu Feihong who was giving him chicken soup, Zhou Yutang was speechless with sweat.
The popularity of film and television dramas in the industry mainly refers to the explosion of ratings, a large number of recognized audiences, and a high enough national reputation.
Specifically, it can be divided into several types, including big ratings hits, big word-of-mouth hits, and phenomenal hits.
"The Ming Dynasty" has great reputation, but its ratings are lukewarm.
"Struggle" and "Let's Get Married" are both ratings hits, but each has its own shortcomings. "Struggle" has an empty plot theme, while "Let's Get Married" has a very clear theme, but there are too many embedded ads in order to make money. It was joked by netizens that it was an advertising drama, and it cannot be considered a big hit in terms of word-of-mouth.
"Want to See You" has good ratings and reputation, but its audience base is limited and it is far from a real hit.
Only TV series like "Bright Sword" and "Mansion Gate" can be regarded as classic phenomenon-level hits if they have both ratings and reputation, as well as national popularity.
If you ask any passerby on the street, they will probably know Li Yunlong played by Li Youbin.
So classic.
However, this kind of work that can be included in the palace of film and television dramas is rare, and it may not be possible to produce one in a few years.
"Perhaps there will be a chance to impact the unfinished "Latent" in the future?"
Zhou Yutang put his mixed thoughts together and shared the currently finalized script of "Staying Together" with Teacher Yao and Yu Feihong.
Yu Feihong was busy scouting locations for his movie some time ago.
This sister is quite interested in Zhou Yutang.
To be precise, he admires Zhou Yutang's talent.
She couldn't put it down "The Lonely and Brilliant God". Although she couldn't shoot it in the short term, she heard that Zhou Yutang had a new book here. She just came back from abroad and went straight to Teacher Yao's office, with anticipation written on her face.
Teacher Yao is no longer surprised.
As a student, I really have a lot of ideas.
More importantly, every idea has its shining point and a story that can touch people's hearts.
Each person took a copy and started reading the script.
Zhou Yutang sent a message to Li Shuang to communicate about the later stages of the film.
At present, the post-production period of "Those Years" is almost completed, and we are discussing the schedule and promotion plan with the company.
When I came back to my senses, I found that Teacher Yao and Sister Yu were very involved in discussing the script of "Classmates".
"The part about eating dumplings in the Bi Shisan cafeteria was quite touching."
"Ren Yifan is a very interesting character."
"Lu Qiaochuan's character growth arc is not bad. From a hesitant character, he gradually grows into a responsible person."
"Xiao Dan, do you remember? When we were doing military training in college, we seemed to be in the training base as well."
"Hey, it was much stricter than this back then, and you could even touch real guns."
After explaining the matter here, they found that the two teachers were chatting in the office. Zhou Yutang suddenly interrupted: "Teachers, what do you think of my script?"
"The rhythm is very bland, the story is heart-warming, and the characters are very distinct. It will definitely be an interesting school drama."
This is Yu Feihong’s evaluation.
"I think it's pretty good."
Teacher Yao flipped through the script with relish and nodded: "Although it was relatively dull at first, the more you read, the more gripping you become. It seems to be about things that happen in university campus life. It is very down-to-earth and can easily resonate with the audience. , it’s a bit sentimental.”
Recently, youth dramas have become popular in the domestic TV drama market.
This is also because Zhou Yutang's "Want to See You" got off to a good start.
When the film and television companies in the circle saw it, this youth campus-themed TV series with low investment turned out to be a hit. It was also exported to South Korea, and the ratings in the province also exploded.
Start the project immediately!
There are a lot of follow-up teen dramas.
Is your play called "Want to Meet You"?
Then my TV series is called "I Want to See You Very Much", is there any problem?
Anyway, after "I Want to Meet You" became a hit drama, the version of the mainland TV drama market was quietly updated. After surveys, film and television companies found that the audience's aesthetics seemed to have changed. I used to be able to watch bloody romance dramas with gusto, but now I seem to like to watch them more. Logic Online’s fresh-style campus drama.
Zhou Yutang also unknowingly led the trend of updating domestic film and television dramas. On the contrary, it reduced the popularity of the originally popular idol dramas.
Teacher Yao asked: "Yu Tang, do you really want to do this play?"
Yu Feihong's beautiful eyes were also looking at Zhou Yutang.
Her long legs in silver-gray wide-leg pants overlap gracefully, and her toes tap on her retro square-toed bow flats. While elegant, she also reveals a bit of playfulness and cuteness of a mature woman.
"The script has been written, and the initial investment has almost been negotiated. I will definitely do it."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.
Yu Feihong asked with great interest: "The audience for this youth campus drama is students. If it is produced, the reputation will be very good, but the ratings may not be a big hit, and it won't make much money, so why do it?"
"Because I like it. It has nothing to do with the ratings. I also make a lot of money. I can be a little more willful and tell a sentimental story."
Zhou Yutang had an understatement smile on his face.
When Huang Xiaoming makes a good film, he will reward himself with The Boss.
Zhou Yutang made a hit work and also rewarded his own studio for making an emotional drama.
When Yu Feihong heard this, he stopped moving on his toes, his beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance, and he smiled and said: "Yu Tang, I think you are quite suitable to play Ren Yifan."
Sister Feihong, do you think I am a scumbag?
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched and he shook his head: "I won't act anymore. I have acted in a school drama and a youth movie in succession. It doesn't make much sense to take on this kind of role again. Leave it to the artists in my studio."
"Both Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong signed a contract with your studio?"
Teacher Yao asked while turning his pen.
"Well, the cost of this drama is not high. It can be produced with a budget of several million."
Zhou Yutang said in a leisurely manner: "The role of Ren Yifan will be given to Zhang Ruojun, Lu Qiaochuan will be given to Zhu Yilong, and the other roles will be decided at that time."
For youth school dramas, actors are found directly in the school, that is, they act in their true colors, and the pay is not high.
When the time comes, my own studio will contribute part of the investment, and National Film and Television will also invest.
Yu Feihong looked at Zhou Yutang with appreciative eyes, and suddenly showed a very bright smile.
Compared with the respectful and polite attitude last year, Zhou Yutang is now more energetic and energetic, and his body seems to be emitting a dazzling and brilliant light.
The words Zhou Yutang just said were still echoing in her ears.
Because I like it, and it has nothing to do with ratings, but to tell a sentimental story.
Very plain and willful.
But Yu Feihong likes it very much.
She suddenly felt that the image of this young man in her mind seemed to become clearer and clearer.
It’s also getting more and more amazing.
