Chapter 132 Fame and Glory, the Ambition of

"Mr. Han, you are too polite."

Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned as he watched Han Sanping pour tea for him.

"You're welcome, you should be."

Mr. Han patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder hard and said with a smile: "The drama "Insidious" has a great influence, and the big leaders above are also watching it."

Just a slight mention.

Zhou Yutang understood.

No wonder some state media have been giving free publicity to "Latent" in the past two days.

In fact, after sitting in the position of Han Sanping, he already has great power. Money and interests are not the most important thing to him.

What he likes most is reputation.

Mr. Han also received a lot of benefits from "Latent", so his attitude towards him naturally became more and more considerate.

"It's because Mr. Han grasped the overall situation that we achieved such results."

Zhou Yutang did not take any credit, he said modestly.

Full of losses, modest gains, this sentence has always been his code of conduct.

"You boy."

Mr. Han pointed his finger: "You are obviously so young, and you speak more like a veteran cadre than me. He is very suitable for officialdom."

Zhou Yutang is very self-aware, "Mr. Han, if I enter the officialdom, I may be reported and fired within a few days because of the relationship between men and women."

"If you are not romantic, you will waste your youth!"

Mr. Han had obviously seen the scandal, but he didn't care at all.

He knows Zhou Yutang's character well. He can be regarded as a clean figure in the entertainment industry. There are many people in the industry who have more fun than him.

The two sat and chatted for a while about the post-production and special effects production of "The Alone Agent", and by the way they talked about the Spring Festival release.

"By the way, Yu Tang, there are two more things I want to tell you."

Han Sanping put down his legs and got down to business: "Brother Chen Kai's "Mei Lanfang" is about to be released. They have specially contacted me and want to invite you to the premiere."

"Why did Director Kai Ge invite me?"

Zhou Yutang was a little baffled.

Because of Zhang Guoli's relationship, he had dinner with Xiaogangpao, but he and Brother Chen Kai had met once at an event. We were not familiar with each other at the time, so Poet Chen just nodded as a greeting.

"You are very popular now, so it might as well go get acquainted with you."

The smile on Mr. Han's face never stopped: "I still have a task to give you. The task from above has come down. I want to make a gift film. I have reserved a role for you. How is your schedule?"

"When will filming start?"

"Probably March or April next year."

"I'm sure it's okay."

Zhou Yutang gave full play to the ideological awareness of the members.

The gift film Han Sanping is talking about is "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". This film was directed by Mr. Han himself and involved nearly 200 celebrities.

The role he reserved for Zhou Yutang was Kong Lingkan in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

This man was the eldest son of Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing. He was also a famous playboy in the Republic of China. He fell in love with a married woman who was more than ten years older than him.

There aren't many scenes in the movie.

But Zhou Yutang agreed without much thought.

Because the gift film has an extraordinary special meaning.

Especially for an actor.

This is recognition and honor.

"What, you accepted that tribute film?"

He called Li Shuang and asked her to adjust her itinerary. Li Shuang's voice on the other end of the phone was full of surprise: "Yu Tang, the mountain eagle really thinks highly of you."

"Ahem, Sister Shuang, please pay attention to your wording and call me Mr. Han."

Zhou Yutang coughed lightly and handed the exquisite gift box to Mao Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, keep this for me."

"Boss, why did you go to China Film Group and still bring something with you?"

Mao Xiaoyu took the exquisite gift box and asked curiously.

"Mr. Han's collection of tea leaves will be kept for Sister Li."

Zhou Yutang crossed his legs and smiled.

Mr. Han saw that he liked drinking tea, so he donated the tea he had collected. Looking at his pained expression, he knew that the quality was not low, so he just borrowed flowers to offer to Zeng Li.

"oh."

Mao Xiaoyu nodded and wrote down the notes.

On the way, I communicated with Sister Shuang about the upcoming itinerary and responded to a bunch of messages.

The broadcast of "Latent" became a hit, and Da Mimi, Tang Yan, Hu Ge and others also sent congratulatory messages.

Liu Tianxian has also returned to the capital. This girl has recently been addicted to watching the drama "Latent" with her mother. After seeing teacher Zhang Songwen's performance, she was truly impressed and asked excitedly when she would start class.

Just wait.

Zhang Songwen became famous overnight with his role as Yu Zecheng in "Latent". At this time, he was busy traveling with the production team to promote, so how could he have time to teach Liu Tianxian?

However, Aunt Liu found a way to send her to the theater to study. This girl seemed to have found her goal and shared her learning experience with Zhou Yutang all day long.

I thought of Tianxian’s beautiful little face.

Zhou Yutang suddenly smiled.

Just work hard.

Miss Liu, wait for you to come out and amaze everyone.

……………………

Early December.

"Mei Lanfang" premiere.

Han Sanping spoke in person, so he had to give him face no matter what.

Zhou Yutang himself also wanted to meet director Kai Ge, who has quite a poetic temperament.

At that time, Brother Chen Kai reached the top of the world with his film "Farewell My Concubine". After that, several of his works were criticized. This work, which took three years, was also the work of his painstaking efforts.

Countless people are waiting to see how good it is and whether it can compare with "Farewell My Concubine".

The premiere was held at the China Film Huairou Film and Television Base in Beijing.

Zhou Yutang picked up Gao Yuanyuan, and the two of them arrived at the scene together. There were already many media reporters inside and outside the scene.

"Zhou Yutang, what do you think about the popularity of "Latent"?"

"Zhou Yutang, Director Kai Ge praised your amazing talent. What do you want to say about this?"

"Mr. Zhou, are you rekindling your old relationship with Gao Yuanyuan?"

Upon seeing Zhou Yutang, a group of media reporters immediately swarmed over.

Even the battle-hardened Da Meiyuan was secretly stunned by this formation. Brother Yu Tang is so popular now.

"The success of "Insidious" is not due to me alone. The performances of Zhang Songwen and Zeng Li, as well as director Jiang Wei, they are all excellent. I don't have any special feelings."

Zhou Yutang said eloquently: "Today I came to watch "Mei Lanfang", which is the best subject of director Kai Ge. He is my idol. I am very much looking forward to this movie."

Unexpectedly, Poet Chen actually praised himself, so he had to praise each other in business.

As for the scandal gossip, Zhou Yutang did not respond at all and went directly to the scene with Da Meiyuan.

There is a saying that there are three giant directors in the mainland film industry.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang.

Among them, Chen Kaige has the highest starting point.

His father is Chen Huaikai, a very famous older generation director in China.

The Celestial Dragon bloodline.

Therefore, after graduation, Poet Chen was assigned to serve as the deputy director of the Beijing Children's Film Studio, while Lao Mouzi had no choice but to go to Guangxi to engage in photography work.

Few people know that Zhang Yimou also worked as a photographer for Brother Chen Kai back then.

Feng Xiaogang's starting line was also a long way behind Brother Chen Kai. He could only be regarded as a commoner from the alleys of the capital. However, he later became better at managing relationships and got on Wang Shuo's path, and his career skyrocketed.

But the situations of these three giants are different.

Especially this year.

In the beginning, he was still a humble little steel cannon, but now he has become the master, and has become a master in the Beijing circle. He even dares to say that "the rules of New Year movies are set by him"!

Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" gained a reputation, and his career has been on the rise since then. Although he has also made bad movies, in general, he has produced many classics. This year, he directed the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, which made him famous in front of the whole world. He had a long face and was given the title of National Master.

Only Poet Chen.

The upper limit is high, but the lower limit is low.

A "Farewell My Concubine" appeared on the stage to enshrine the gods.

"The Promise" made countless people nail him to the pillar of shame.

Seeing Zhang Yimou, who was below him at the beginning, come up from behind and accept the cheers and applause of countless people, Poet Chen probably felt very uncomfortable.

So he has completely settled down in the past few years and created this "Mei Lanfang".

This is also the subject that Chen Kaige is best at.

The purpose is to prove that he is not left behind in the competition among the three major directors.

"I believe that everyone will like the movie "Mei Lanfang". It will definitely be a classic. My goal is to win several awards abroad next year."

Zhou Yutang staggered when he heard Brother Chen Kai talking freely and freely to reporters from several media outlets.

As expected of you.

Director Kai Ge.

Zhou Yutang could feel the confidence in him.

No wonder he is confident, the creative team behind this drama is truly luxurious.

Chen Guofu was also present. He was one of the screenwriters of the play. He smiled and nodded when he saw Zhou Yutang. Because he was being interviewed, it was not convenient for him to come over to say hello.

There is another screenwriter named Yan Geling, who is also a heavyweight. His representative works include "Tianba", "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", "Return" and "Youth".

"The Devils Are Coming" was photographed by Zhao Xiaoshi and Zhang Shuping from Xiangjiang

All of them are industry leaders who are at the top of their respective fields.

certainly.

The most important one is Brother Kai’s royal producer, Sister Chen Hong.

Going back twenty years, Mrs. Chen is the most powerful contender for the most beautiful woman in China.

Zhou Yutang glanced politely a few more times, and could only say that Chen Meiren's youth was passing by. Compared with her peak appearance, she was a little plump now, but she was still a beautiful woman who still had charm.

Mrs. Chen seemed to have noticed Zhou Yutang's gaze. Her eyes lit up and she came over and greeted Yan Yan with a smile: "Yu Tang is here. Now that "Latent" is so popular, Mr. Han said you are very busy. Yuanyuan is here too." "

"Director Kai Ge has always been my idol."

Zhou Yutang smiled honestly.

Being able to marry the most beautiful woman in the world as a wife is indeed the idol of many men.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Mrs. Chen was slightly surprised on her beautiful face, but then she smiled sweetly, obviously taking advantage of Zhou Yutang's silent praise: "Brother Kai often mentions you at home, saying that you are very talented and do a good job. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can cooperate."

"There is a chance."

Zhou Yutang accompanied Mrs. Chen to say a few polite words.

The "definitely" mentioned here does not mean that it will definitely happen. It just means that you tell your friends to have dinner together another day.

Mrs. Chen's social skills are still very strong. She then exchanged a few words with Gao Yuanyuan and then went to greet other guests.

Poet Chen's reputation is indeed great.

In addition to Zhou Yutang, a bunch of celebrities came to the scene.

A-list celebrities such as Zhao Yanzi, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, and Li Binbin were all present, and it was very lively for a while.

Cai Kangyong will serve as the emcee at the party, and Wang Lihong and Li Wen will sing live.

Zhou Yutang withdrew his gaze and fell on another handsome guy on the stage.

Li Ming, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong.

This time he went to Xiangjiang to meet Principal Gu and Aaron Kwok.

I feel that in terms of temperament, Li Ming is slightly better than Principal Gu and Aaron Kwok.

Faced with the reporter's criticism, Poet Chen held Li Ming in high spirits, chatting and laughing freely: "Li Ming is a very professional actor, and he is very serious about his acting. Once I found that during filming, Li Ming was walking back and forth on the set. He was pacing, lifting the hem of his clothes, with a serious expression. It turned out that he was miming over and over again, getting into that state by himself."

"Li Ming is so handsome!"

There was a female reporter next to her who was having sex on the spot.

"Li Ming is indeed handsome."

Zhou Yutang also nodded slightly and gave the handsome guy certification.

In addition to Li Ming, Zhang Ziyi, Sun Honglei, Wang Xueqi, Ying Da and others are also there.

They are all top-level actors.

After filming two movies, Zhou Yutang is very familiar with the interview routine. He just talks about the difficulties encountered during the filming process, describing it in a slightly exaggerated way, and then picks out some interesting things about the stars on the set. The media reporters have reported it, and the audience attention has also been gained.

The main purpose of coming today is to be an audience.

Zhou Yutang also has a copy of "Chi Ling" in his hand. Today he came here mainly to see if the great poet Chen could bring him some inspiration.

Gao Yuanyuan came over and whispered: "How many times did you look at Mrs. Chen just now?"

"."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched, and he said righteously: "Sister Yuanyuan, how can you miss me so much? I came here purely with the idea of ​​artistic exchange."

Gao Yuanyuan leaned into Zhou Yutang's ear and asked in a low voice: "Then who do you think is more beautiful, Chen Hong or me?"

"Is this comparable?"

Zhou Yutang didn't even hesitate, and said righteously: "Sister Yuanyuan, you are a goddess in my heart. Yuanyuan is the most beautiful north of the Yangtze River."

Nothing wrong!

When Liu Shishi asked this question, the answer she got was definitely that she was the most beautiful.

When Zeng Li asked this question.

Forget it, Sister Li is very sensible and would never ask such questions.

"snort!"

Da Meiyuan rolled her eyes at Zhou Yutang, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth betrayed that this sister was in a good mood.

The two sat and chatted, and after a while the movie started to show.

The beginning is about young Mei Lanfang challenging Thirteen Yans.

For those who know some about Peking Opera, this section is quite exciting.

then.

The story progresses smoothly, with no surprises or surprises.

What makes Zhou Yutang a little unacceptable is that the legendary love between Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong, if filmed properly, would definitely be the highlight of the film, but it was passed over in one stroke.

But it’s not surprising to see that the film’s artistic consultant is Mei Jiubao.

"Yu Tang, how do you feel?"

Da Meiyuan's mind seemed not to be on the movie, so she came over and exhaled, Ruo Lan said.

"It's okay, but it doesn't meet my expectations. It doesn't taste right."

Zhou Yutang tilted his head slightly to communicate.

After shooting two movies in a row, he has improved his skills and has his own understanding of movies.

In the final analysis, a movie is to tell a story to the audience in a limited time. If it can make the audience resonate emotionally, then it is an excellent movie.

There is no doubt about Brother Chen Kai's strength, and the visuals and atmosphere of the entire movie are well done.

But after watching this film, Zhou Yutang didn't have much resonance.

The only thing that slightly aroused his mood swings was that Mr. Mei had a clear ambition to grow a beard and did not want to perform for the Japanese invaders.

It looked a bit miserable and aggrieved. While watching the film, he was also comparing it to "Chi Ling".

"Chi Ling" also has a plot of being forcibly summoned by the Japanese invaders, but Mr. Pei in "Chi Ling" directly burned all the Japanese invaders to death with a fire.

Although I am humble, I dare not forget about my country, even if no one knows me.

Finally, a swan song in the monstrous fire.

It was a shock that reached deep into the soul. From the perspective of emotional stimulation, it was obviously much stronger than the climax of "Mei Lanfang".
