Chapter 166
The launch of "Star You" by Jiangdong Entertainment at the end of June attracted widespread attention.
There is another thing that is even more sensational.
The famous American pop star Michael Jackson passed away permanently, which even shocked the Chinese entertainment industry.
The news of the King's demise dominated the front pages of various domestic newspapers. Reporters from the entertainment industry seemed to be on stimulants, grabbing people and asking them their thoughts on the matter.
The celebrities were also very cooperative in accepting interviews.
Jackie Chan said: "We are good friends. This may be a relief for him. I hope everyone will respect him and stop disturbing and hurting him."
Andy Lau said: "I met Jackson at a charity concert, and we both said 'Say Hi' to each other. It's such a pity that he passed away. I was also looking forward to Jackson's comeback tour, but it's a pity that the stage is missing a superstar."
Zhou Yutang was not spared either. At the launch conference of "My Love from the Star", he was met with crazy questions from reporters, "I'm shocked, and it's a pity. I can't believe that such a world superstar has fallen like this."
The deceased is a great person, and after Zhou Yutang expressed his memory and respect, he no longer cared about it.
Before the filming of "Star You" started, there was a script reading.
"Shi Shi, what do you think about the end of the King of Heaven?"
"It's really a pity. He is a world-famous superstar with great influence. I still feel a little unbelievable."
Liu Shishi came out of the building after filming the endorsement commercial.
She walks very characteristically.
The pace is very fast, and he has the domineering attitude of going out of the galaxy.
She had long flowing hair, which made her look sassy and beautiful.
When he was about to get into the nanny car, Liu Shishi was still blocked by Yuji squatting in the grass, so he accepted the interview with a gentle smile and took his time.
In fact, she doesn't listen to English songs very much.
What I usually listen to the most is Zhou Yutang’s songs.
The best thing to know about Michael Jackson: This is an amazing world star.
What I just said is also a manuscript prepared by Tangren Film and Television Company in advance, and every star artist under Tangren must memorize it.
"Taozi, what's your next trip?"
After getting on the bus, Liu Shishi decisively opened a pack of duck necks and asked while eating.
"There are classes at the theater, and there will be a fashion magazine shoot in two days. Shi Shi, why have you started eating snacks again?"
Taozi has a headache.
Body management of female artists is a very important thing.
In order to look better on camera, I rolled them up one by one.
My own Shi Ye is also really outrageous. She would rather not eat rice, but would rather exercise more and eat snacks.
"Just eat a small packet!"
Liu Shishi looked intoxicated, enjoying the delicious duck neck: "After the theater, I will take Pilates class first, and then run for an hour to burn off the calories."
"Oh, I really can't do anything about you."
While eating snacks and surfing the Internet, I received a call from Yang Mi: "Shi Shi, I was asked about my thoughts on the death of Michael Jackson again today. I almost fainted."
"Same."
"By the way, your votes among the four major female actors are so high."
"You're about the same."
"It's much worse than Liu Tianxian."
When Yang Mi mentioned this name, the atmosphere became a little tense.
Liu Shishi said calmly: "She is already very popular."
"It's not as good as your Zhou Yutang. If we sisters join forces, we won't be afraid of her!"
"You guys are on the same crew, playing Infernal Affairs?"
"I didn't have a choice before, now I want to be a good person."
"Haha, then go talk to Yu Tang and see if he will let you be a good person."
"No kidding, I'm about to start filming here, are you really not worried?"
Yang Mi is very smart, but she feels Liu Shishi is short-sighted.
A few days ago, the media was crazy about the scandal, and she, the queen of the palace, was still able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
"This project is the most important project of Jiangdong Entertainment this year. Just keep filming well. When this project makes money, I will treat you to a feast."
"Are you really okay?"
"What can I do? Yu Tang has a movie over there and the script is being written. He is planning to let me play an important role."
"Is it that "Sword Rain"?"
Speaking of this, Yang Mi suddenly became energetic and jumped up from lying on the soft seat of the nanny car.
"Hmm, the script is still being revised. Do you know everything?"
"I'm good at giving. Now Zhou Yutang's project is being watched by a group of people in the circle."
Yang Mi was speechless and envious at the same time.
She suddenly remembered.
When I got the role in "Star You", I was so complacent that Liu Shishi unknowingly booked an important role in a big-budget movie.
All this is because of Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang directly fed Liu Shishi's mouth with the resources that countless people dreamed of.
With mixed emotions in her heart, Da Mi Mi looked down at her pair of Da Mi Mi, and suddenly hated herself for not being able to be as big as hers.
Liu Shishi has considered the issue from the perspective of the future Jiangdong proprietress, and is still calculating the gains and losses.
"Just keep filming, Mimi."
"Hmm, Shi Shi, don't worry, my best friends, I will help you keep an eye on him."
"Pfft, thank you."
After chatting for a while, after hanging up the phone, Liu Shishi tilted his head and thought for a while, then sent a message to Zhou Yutang:
"I bought that purple underwear you like so much..."
Click.
The hourglass lies upside down on the table.
The clock is ticking.
Zhou Yutang, wearing an elegant black Armani suit and a white shirt, crossed his long legs and sat casually on a sofa that looked very expensive at first sight.
Crossing his fingers on his lap, his face remained calm: "The comet I have been waiting for for 500 years is approaching the earth. In three months, I will be able to return to the planet I live on."
When he said a line, a faint smile appeared on Zhou Yutang's handsome face.
It seems like a traveler who has been wandering in a foreign land for a long time, longing for the happiness of returning to his hometown.
"Ka! Passed, next game."
Director Lin Yufen shouted from behind the monitor.
The filming of "My Love from the Star" still followed the easy-to-hard model.
After the script reading meeting before filming started, Zhou Yutang reached a consensus with the director team.
Liu Yifei's scenes were considered difficult and were shot later, so Zhou Yutang's indoor scenes were shot first.
The first few sets of shots passed easily.
Zhou Yutang, who just won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor, showed talent and strength that surprised everyone in the crew.
Even a movie with a male protagonist like "The Lonely Agent" can handle it. Professor Zhou, the facially paralyzed, aloof and ascetic male god in this movie, is even more at ease with his performance, and his performance is a complete visual enjoyment.
"Amazing."
Yang Mi entered the set early.
She didn't have a part in the scene, so she just watched from the side, and the result was a little bit shocking.
"Xiao Zhou is even more powerful in "Agent"."
Liu Yifei, who was watching the show next to her, smiled.
Yang Mi was secretly surprised: "Yifei, have you seen Zhou Yutang filming on the set of "Agent"?"
In fact, she and Liu Tianxian knew each other when they were filming "The Condor". At that time, photos of each other holding umbrellas leaked out, so the relationship is not bad.
Liu Yifei said seriously: "Well, I was on vacation in Hong Kong at that time, so I went to the set of "Agent". I watched Xiao Zhou play several scenes with the best actor, and I didn't fall behind at all. The scene with Tony Jaa was also very complete. Gao...oh, by the way, he's still working as an assistant director."
She has no doubts about Zhou Yutang's ability.
"He's made great progress."
This is not the first time Yang Mi has acted with Zhou Yutang.
The first time they acted as a couple in teacher Zhang Songwen's class, the plot was as follows: Zhou Yutang made me pregnant, but Zhou Yutang said he was wearing a condom.
In that duel, she was completely defeated, and Damimi felt aggrieved for a while.
At that time, she felt that since she debuted at the age of 4, she had both talent and experience. There was no reason that she could not compare to a newcomer like Zhou Yutang. Now it seems that she is indeed quite ridiculous.
Later, the two collaborated in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".
At that time, Zhou Yutang's acting skills had improved a lot compared to the first time. Although he acted impeccably and also coached Tang Yan and Liu Shishi, it is different now.
"In just these scenes, he really has a sense of vicissitudes that have accumulated for hundreds of years. He seems to be indifferent to everything and is just a passerby passing by the earth."
Compared with more than two years ago, Zhou Yutang seems to have a more relaxed attitude.
When had I become so far away from him?
Yang Mi felt sad at the same time.
The crew started busy for the next scene.
Because they are all regular members of Jiangdong Entertainment, the early integration was smooth.
This time Zhou Yutang divided the crew into two groups.
Lin Yufen led the team to shoot the scenes between Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei.
Wen Muye handled Qin Hao and other roles.
However, after a smooth shooting period, the first difficult shot soon came.
"Member of the directing team."
Before the shooting started that day, after discussing with Zhou Yutang for a while, Lin Yufen stood up and clapped her hands: "Actors, photographers, lighting, take the script and all come over for a meeting."
Everyone who heard the command came over immediately, and the rest of the crew took the time to start setting up the scene.
Those who need to move machines and those who need to clean up the scene perform their duties and cooperate with each other tacitly.
This way.
A circle formed with Zhou Yutang and Lin Yufen as the center.
"This drama is based on Yu Tang's ideas, and everyone should listen to his ideas."
Lin Yufen has worked with Zhou Yutang several times and knows how he does things.
To use a more professional term, he is a drama tyrant!
He has a strong desire to control his crew.
When shooting, you have to follow his ideas.
certainly.
Every time he followed Zhou Yutang's ideas, he achieved good results, and as an investor's father, he respected the director's opinions enough, just to make the movie good.
So Lin Yufen simply handed over the leadership to Zhou Yutang.
Seeing everyone gathered, Zhou Yutang said: "Let's give an explanation first. The following scene is about Liu Yiren who just made a common sense mistake and was ridiculed by the group on Weibo, and then met Professor Zhou in the elevator for the first time in his new home. , mistakenly thought that the other party was a crazy fan following him, and started to get nervous."
Sina Weibo also sponsored a large amount of money for "My Love from the Star" and opened the closed beta in advance, making Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei the earliest users.
Subsequent @functions, private messages, and comment forwarding functions will be gradually opened to facilitate user communication.
Liu Yifei usually publishes updates on Sohu's blog, and Sohu is also developing Weibo. It is said that Mr. Zhang originally intended to ask her to endorse, but due to public opinion last year, it was temporarily shelved.
Zhou Yutang attracted her to Sina Weibo, and the subsequent promotion of the TV series will also be carried out in conjunction with Sina Weibo's promotion.
"Yifei, please adjust well. Your performance in the next scene is very important."
"Got it, boss!"
Liu Yifei, who was wearing a black leather jacket and short skirt, raised her face and nodded seriously.
When the two of them get along, Zhou Yutang calls her Qianqian in normal mode, and calls her Qianbao when speaking and doing things.
However, we have agreed in advance that we should address each other by name and position when working.
Zhou Yutang continued to tell her the scene with gestures: "In your scene, I need you to show a sense of emotional progression."
"At the elevator door, the first thought in your mind was suspicion. You suspected that I was a perverted fan who came to get close to you."
"After entering the elevator, press the button, stay alert, and keep an eye on my movements at all times. Seeing that I didn't press the elevator button, I confirmed my suspicion in my heart. Emotional progression is very important here."
"Uh-huh."
Shooting continues.
I've passed this section before entering the elevator a few times, so it's not a big problem.
The two stood parallel to each other.
The camera zooms in to give a close-up of the two people's faces.
Zhou Yutang is an expressionless, aloof and ascetic male god, with an unswerving gaze.
Liu Yifei was wearing a pair of sunglasses, lowered her head slightly, and stared at Zhou Yutang suspiciously through the upper edge of the sunglasses, preconceivedly defining him as her crazy fan.
When he entered the elevator, he glanced at her unintentionally and saw that he didn't press the elevator floor button, which further confirmed his suspicion.
Zhou Yutang stopped again, came out to communicate with Lin Yufen, and then informed the director of photography: "Switch the camera here, pay attention to the close-up from point to surface, from the part to the face, and finally give the actor a full-body shot."
"OK!"
Li Bingqiang made a gesture knowingly.
Yang Mi asked curiously: "Senior Brother Li, do you have anything to say?"
When she heard Zhou Yutang arranging arrangements, she had an unclear feeling.
But she is good at communication, and she visited the dock when she first joined the group. Li Bingqiang, a senior from the film school, naturally took good care of her.
Li Bingqiang explained while adjusting the camera position: "President Zhou probably wanted to use this technique to match the camera angle and compare the expressions of the two actors to reflect the heroine's mood at this time and deepen her character."
"Is this so"
Yang Mi nodded slightly, with a look of confusion on her face, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yutang.
Not only is his acting skills great, but he also seems to have a deep understanding of directorial photography.
After making adjustments, shooting continues.
In the elevator.
Zhou Yutang was wearing a suit, his figure was as tall as a pine tree, and he still looked forward, as if the bright and moving Liu Yifei was the air.
But Liu Yifei was very speechless.
This crazy fan actually followed him to his new home, which is really too much.
I need to give him some color.
"Yes, I am Liu Yiren. When did you start following me?"
Taking off her sunglasses, Liu Yifei raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and started typing directly: "How come you found out that I moved here so quickly?"
After walking a few steps, he opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to see Zhou Yutang's ashamed expression: "What do you want? Do you want to give you an autograph, or take a photo with you, will you leave?"
"I see you are not very old. I understand that you are full of energy. Go back and study hard. Otherwise, go exercise more and release some energy. If you want to do something shameful here, that's why you followed me here. Come here, I tell you there is no door!"
"Click, do it again!"
"Kaa, Yifei's mood is not right!"
After more than a dozen consecutive shots, Zhou Yutang communicated with Lin Yufen and asked the set manager to shout: "Yifei, the monitor is here."
Liu Yifei walked over with some apprehension.
Zhou Yutang was usually very gentle when dealing with her in private, but when he was doing things seriously, he was extremely serious.
"Yifei, when you take off your sunglasses, make a small gesture and covertly roll your eyes."
"ah?"
"You are speechless in the face of this stalking fan."
"But."
Liu Yifei thought about it and probably found it difficult to bring it in.
In fact, if there were any crazy fans, it would be Aunt Liu who blocked her.
Zhou Yutang's mind changed: "Well, think about it, what if you and your good friend from the same class in college were interviewed together, and then your friend from the same class suddenly said in the interview program that everyone is more curious about you because of you? I rarely come to school.”
"Who said that!"
Liu Yifei immediately felt like an angry kitten. She felt ridiculous, but she tried her best to suppress her annoyance. In the end, she rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"Ah, yes, yes!"
Zhou Yu was very excited and continued to tell her about the play: "What we want is this kind of full emotion. If you want to bring this similar emotion into this play, then the play will have the right flavor. I want is your truest reaction.
This crazy fan is obviously here to stalk and harass you. You sigh and feel annoyed, but try your best to restrain yourself. Seeing that he doesn't say a word and seems to want to follow you to your home, you are completely speechless and finally can't help but start to output."
"It seems like a different person."
Next, Yang Mi was surprised to find that Liu Yifei, who was frequently stuck in this scene, seemed to have figured out the trick.
I can clearly feel that my emotions are much fuller than before.
Seeing Zhou Yutang glance at her lightly, and then walk to the door of her house, Liu Yifei's previous aura was gone, and she smiled awkwardly but politely.
"Ah? It turns out we are neighbors. I just moved to No. 2301. Were you scared just now? Do you really not know who I am?"
"Do I have to know?"
"That's not what you meant, then why do you keep staring at me?" Liu Yifei was completely confused.
"I need to enter the password."
Zhou Yutang remained expressionless, but calmly waved his hand to Liu Yifei, signaling her not to peek.
How embarrassing!
The society is dead!
Next to her, Yang Mi put herself into the role of Liu Yifei and couldn't help but grip the ground with her toes, almost making a big move.
Some people admire her for sacrificing her image to this point.
But seeing Liu Yifei's "sorry, sorry" look in order to cover up her embarrassment, she also complained that Zhou Yutang, who didn't know her, was an alien.
Damimi finally couldn't help laughing.
Liu Yifei's appearance, which looks a little bit different, is actually a bit cute and cute, which is in sharp contrast to Zhou Yutang's cold and ascetic temperament.
very funny!
The most exciting thing is Zhou Yutang’s response.
Zhou Yutang only had two lines in the whole film.
But when he stood in front of the door, his expression was expressionless, and he waved his hands away lightly.
It's like sending a puppy away.
