Chapter 169 Yang Mi wants to make progress, choice is greater than hard work
"Brother Wen, do you have any ideas about the role?"
"I played the roles of Zhang Mazi and Ma Bangdang myself. I thought about asking Ge You to play the role. As for Huang Silang, after much deliberation, only Zhou Runfa is more suitable."
As expected of you, Lao Jiang.
If you want to play, play big.
As soon as they opened their mouths, they were two heavyweight movie stars.
The status of these two actors is much higher than that of Tony Leung Ka-fai and Simon Yam who are co-stars with Zhou Yutang.
Ge Yuna is the best actor in Cannes and the top Mesozoic actor in China.
Zhou Runfa is also a person who stands at the top of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
"Yu Tang, I heard that you have cooperated with them and enjoyed your food in Xiangjiang. Do you know Zhou Runfa?"
Jiang Wen asked with a smile, feeling uncertain.
Strictly speaking, Huang Silang is just an important supporting role. How high is Zhou Runfa?
There was a saying in the last century that goes, "Nothing can be done again but by Zhou Runfa".
Fa Ge reached the top in the golden age of Hong Kong movies and has been popular for 20 years. Now his salary is frighteningly high.
Everyone in the industry knows that Chow Yun-fat has only played supporting roles in Hollywood. It is really difficult for him to hire other leading actors to play supporting roles.
"I met him once and chatted a few times. Fa Ge is quite easy to talk to."
Zhou Yutang asked curiously: "Brother Wen, why don't you ask Boss Yang to come forward? He has a lot of reputation in Xiangjiang."
"I feel guilty."
Jiang Wen shook his head: "I can't open this mouth. You help my brother think of a way."
Yang Shoucheng was kind to him.
After investing in several dramas, no benefits were seen, causing others to lose tens of millions. Jiang Wen felt that he had no shame to make any further demands.
When a person fails, he will always doubt his ability and worry about what will happen if he fails this time.
Zhou Yutang thought for a while and said, "Then be sincere. According to my understanding, the older generation of actors in Xiangjiang are all people who value love and justice. You can either write him a letter to express your sincerity. "
"What a way to put it."
Jiang Wen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested: "You show me your brother."
Despite his rough appearance, he actually has a delicate mind and is very elegant at heart.
"How about you come?"
"You come, you come."
Jiang Wen stood up and looked for paper and pen: "You kid, don't worry, mother-in-law, please hurry up."
There was also a hint of expectation in Yu Feihong's beautiful eyes.
She saw Zhou Yutang writing the script "The Lonely Agent" with her own eyes, and was very curious about how Zhou Yutang wrote this letter.
"Fa Ge Fa Sao:
We met in Xiangjiang and the conversation was very pleasant.
My brother Jiang Wen has a new movie story to share with you. This story has been honed for several years, and the script is about to be released. The characters are so wonderful that they are astonishing to both the past and the present. In the film, Fa Ge uses different skills to appear authentic and fake, which will provide a vast space for Fa Ge's acting skills and create a beautiful story in the film industry.
Fa Ge was well-known, knowledgeable at home and abroad, honest in his art, and his skills surpassed all others. This role will help Fa Ge carry forward the glory he has achieved and reach a higher peak.
This film aims to create a Chinese western gangster movie. Humorous and absurd, sharp and ups and downs. In the past we had Leon's spaghetti cowboy drama, now we have our spicy western. The role of Fa Ge is both the hero of Cao Mengde and the hero of Zhou Gongjin, and he often calls himself Zhuge Kongming. It's heart-stirring and unexpected. Fa Ge takes action, and he is able to move freely and superbly. Thousands of fans are eagerly looking forward to it! Who dares to do what others think? !
In addition to my brother Jiang Wen, the new film also has Ge You joining the cast. It can be said that there is a rich area at the confluence of three rivers, and the three heroes read the wonderful story. So majestic and beautiful!
Looking at the plains of the eyes, they are full of vitality; the stars are shining brightly, intersecting in it. After hearing Fa's sister-in-law's order, Fa's brother is coming, everyone at the top and bottom is excited!
On this peaceful and prosperous day, we sincerely invite you to join us in creating something beautiful. The book is not exhaustive, but the meeting details it.
kindest regards(sincerest regards)
Sincerely, Yu Tang”
It's eloquent and has hundreds of words.
speak English.
That's bragging + rainbow fart.
First, the script was hyped to the heavens and the earth, as if the other party would lose 100 million if he didn't come to act.
Secondly, give Fa Ge a rainbow fart and make Fa Ge’s acting skills amazing.
"It's quite interesting."
Yu Feihong watched the whole process, and finally smoothed his hair around his ears, with a smile on his face.
After Zhou Yutang finished writing the letter, he felt a little blushing, "Brother Wen, if you don't want to forget it, I'll find Boss Yang to find a solution."
"What does it mean? It's so well written!"
Jiang Wen slapped his thigh fiercely, as if he had received some kind of inspiration, and even his eyes were shining: "If you are sincere enough, just come here. I will write Ge You's letter. Yu Tang, I have a hunch that things will happen after this letter is sent out." It can be done!”
Tonight is much different from a normal party, where we eat, drink, chat and then continue drinking at KTV.
Zhou Yutang and Jiang Wen first negotiated the investment for "Let the Bullets Fly", and after talking about the script, they each wrote a letter.
After having a great time together, Zhou Yutang followed Yu Feihong back to the car. As he was opening the car door, he was suddenly blown by the wind and woke up.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhou Yutang's expression change slightly, Yu Feihong asked with concern.
"I suddenly forgot."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "Sister Feihong, I even forgot that Zhou Runfa started acting after graduating from elementary school. Do you think he can understand the classical Chinese I wrote?"
"Hahaha!"
Yu Feihong leaned forward and backward with a smile, and the flower branches trembled.
Hong Kong soon.
Zhou Runfa received this urgent letter and shed tears as he read it.
Fa's sister-in-law was quite curious when she saw this.
Such a big brother, why did he cry when he read the letter?
Could it be that a letter from an old lover reminded Fa Ge of the past?
When he took a closer look, he was suddenly surprised: "Yu Tang, is that Zhou Yutang?"
"There is only one Zhou Yutang, and he is the lonely agent."
"Times have really changed. This young man has dominated the Hong Kong box office list for two consecutive years."
"The box office in Hong Kong is nothing, mainland movies are worth over 500 million!"
Zhou Runfa replied casually, reading the letter over and over again, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.
"What are you feeling?"
"No one has written to me for a long time. They all say that Zhou Yutang is very romantic. Why did he write to me? Could he have some intention towards me? I'm a little afraid." Zhou Runfa's expression was very complicated and tangled.
"Look carefully. Is that a love letter written in the letter?"
"I can't understand."
"."
After translating, he finally learned the contents of the letter. Fa Ge sighed and murmured, "Zhou Yutang, Jiang Wen, Ge You's book is a bit interesting."
This is a later story, so I won’t mention it further.
After the get-together with Jiang Wen, this girl never stopped smiling on the way home.
"By the way, Yu Tang, are you really so optimistic about Jiang Wen's script? Investing tens of millions is no joke. Do you know that his last movie cost Boss Yang a lot of money?"
"I think this script is very interesting, and Jiang Wen himself is very capable. As long as he controls his desire for expression, I think this movie is a good project."
Zhou Yutang was still a little excited, immersed in Jiang Wen's script.
to be honest.
"Let the Bullets Fly" is truly amazing.
The two chatted hotly all the way back to Yu Feihong's house.
This sister originally mortgaged her house for "Love Is Afterlife", but Zhou Yutang later lent her several million to save the house.
Early tomorrow morning.
Zhou Yutang is about to return to the crew to continue filming.
As soon as the door closed, Yu Feihong took the initiative to hug Zhou Yutang.
A mature sister expresses her feelings very differently from a young little flower.
It's so sincere and passionate.
One meter of sunlight passed through the thick curtains and fell on the bedroom.
You can see dust floating in the air.
Yu Feihong stood up and stretched, and found that the place around him was empty.
Feeling a little disappointed, I heard the crisp sound of typing on the keyboard. Then I stood up and saw Zhou Yutang sitting at the table revising the script on the computer.
Smile.
Zhou Yutang is still the young man who wants to make progress.
The original intention has never changed.
She put on her nightgown and smoothed her hair.
Yu Feihong did not wake up Zhou Yutang, quietly got out of bed, stepped on the blanket in the bedroom with bare feet, and walked behind Zhou Yutang.
The rhythmic sound of tapping on the notebook keyboard sounded, and then lines of twelve-point Song fonts quickly appeared on the computer screen.
Zhou Yutang would hold his chin with his hand from time to time.
Sometimes he relaxes his eyebrows, sometimes he meditates.
The sight of the cheeks outlined by cold lines made Yu Feihong's heart beat slightly.
After changing his gaze and reading the entire story of "Sword Rain", Yu Feihong was attracted. After watching Zhou Yutang ponder, he marked the casting to be determined behind the female character. Yu Feihong finally couldn't hold it back and asked: "Yu Tang, this is you A new script?"
"Sister Feihong, are you awake?"
"Just woke up."
Zhou Yutang suddenly turned around, looked at Yu Feihong and chuckled: "To be precise, it was the book made by Su Zhaobing. I had investment, and felt that there was something wrong with the plot logic, so I asked the company's editorial department to improve several versions according to my ideas. Now this is The version should be almost there.”
"Sister Feihong, what do you think after seeing it?"
"Not bad. It's a good martial arts movie. When will filming start?"
"It's still early. The script has just been finished and the characters haven't been chosen yet."
At this point, Zhou Yutang suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Feihong intently, and blurted out: "Sister Feihong, how about you play the heroine?"
Wu Baige was kicked, Media Asia retired, a double blessing.
Zhou Yutang was not satisfied with the original heroine Yang Ziqiong.
Firstly, the salary was high, but secondly, the image was not to his liking.
The role of the heroine Zeng Jing is a version of Xiao Yu's disguise, which requires maturity and gentleness, but also has the feeling of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world.
Among the good sisters Zhou Yutang knows.
Zeng Li next booked the big project "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and her appearance was too cool.
Da Meiyuan's temperament doesn't quite match her, and her schedule is busy. Now it seems that only Yu Feihong can handle the role of Zeng Jing.
Back then, Yu Feihong and instant noodle leader Jiao Enjun starred in "Little Li Fei Dao", and the appearance of Fairy Jinghong in ancient costume surprised many people.
"I?"
Yu Feihong rested her head on Zhou Yutang's shoulder. After reading the heroine's character design, she smiled gently in her beautiful eyes: "It's quite interesting. Do you think I'm suitable?"
"No one is more suitable for this role than you, Sister Feihong."
"Then I'll take it."
Yu Feihong is not pretentious either.
She has an inexplicable trust in Zhou Yutang.
And she is short of money now.
Filming the movie "Love Is After Life" emptied all her savings.
Now she has to make a new copy. Nowadays, a copy in China basically costs more than 10,000 yuan. This is still the basic price. A movie starts with a few hundred copies, so she has to spend several million more.
It seems that he can only make money and pay off his debts by working for Zhou Yutang.
Then, the two had a simple and warm breakfast while chatting about the script.
Yu Feihong will continue to work hard for her copy, and Zhou Yutang will also come out of the gentle countryside and soon return to the crew of "Star You".
In the two days since he left, senior Yan Danchen joined the cast, and today there is a scene where he and Liu Yifei compete for beauty.
Zhou Yutang took the time to call Brother Big Dog to communicate about the progress of the "Sword Rain" project.
Although Big Dog Brother left the project to him out of trust, he should also be informed of the basic status of the project. This is respect.
The big dog brother readily nodded in agreement.
By the way, I notified director Su Zhaobing.
The heroine of "Sword Rain" Zeng Jing has chosen Yu Feihong.
The green leaves determined Liu Shishi.
Tang Yan plays Lei Bin's wife.
These are all related households.
For the next male lead, Jiang Asheng, Zhou Yutang did not think of a suitable candidate for the time being, so he prepared to audition for the role. The age requirement was about thirty years old, he had to have acting skills, and he had to show the vicissitudes of life after the family was wiped out.
The role of the powerful and powerful Chakravartin King is also very crucial, and it must be handled by an experienced actor. The casting is yet to be determined.
Lei Bin will be cold with a bit of evil, and Cai Shi will be cunning and old, which is also to be determined.
"Sister Shuang, please arrange for actors to come over for auditions as soon as possible. This project is expected to start filming in two months. Everything must be in accordance with the rules. If you have any questions, please contact me."
"What? Will those two get into a fight on the set? It's absolutely impossible. They both have very good tempers."
Just after explaining the matter of "Sword Rain", Zhang Yibei called again.
"Boss, the second season of "The Voice" has started airing. The ratings of the first episode were 3.83%, and the audience share was 11.85%. Variety shows were leading the pack during the same period. Specific statistical reports and contestant information have been sent to your private mailbox."
"Yes, the ratings will definitely increase explosively in the future. It will not be a big problem if the overall ratings exceed the first season. On the "Singer" side, you will continue to communicate with Mango TV."
After hearing the good news about the variety show, Zhou Yutang perked up, as if he could hear the sound of money flowing.
"Boss Zhou, you are so busy."
Zhou Yutang hung up the phone and was unscrewing the drink on the side to take a sip of water when Damimi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with her signature honey voice, which scared him so much that he almost choked.
"Ahem, cough, cough, why are you walking without making any sound, like a ghost?"
"I just heard what you said about the fight. What happened?" Yang Mi gossiped.
"Oh, it's nothing. On a company project, two female employees got into a fight and pulled each other's hair." Zhou Yutang said without changing his expression and his heart not beating.
"You are such a big boss, why do you still care about this?" Yang Mi was speechless.
"What I call it is caring for the physical and mental health of the company's employees."
Zhou Yutang drank water calmly and said calmly: "What do you want from me?"
"I can't find you if nothing happens?"
"Okay, just tell me if you have anything to say."
"Are you trying to make a fool of Liu Yifei? Her acting skills have improved so fast. Can you also tell me about the drama?"
"."
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched and he glanced at Damimi: "Do you want to make progress so much?"
The drama "Star You" was not difficult for him, and the crew focused entirely on Liu Yifei.
Although Teacher Zhang Songwen has exhausted his lifelong skills and practiced for more than half a year.
Liu Yifei has made great progress in both her line skills and acting skills compared to before, but it is obviously unrealistic for her to reach a state where she can express herself freely.
what is it now?
If you can’t take one shot with one shot, take ten shots.
Zhou Yutang is responsible for guiding Liu Yifei's emotions so that she can show the truest state of her life.
There was still a bit of "pretending to act" at the beginning, which was a protective mechanism she had developed over a long period of time.
But as long as her emotions are in place, she can still show off her talents occasionally, and it's enough to capture such a useful one among the many shots she took.
"Tell me about the drama too."
Yang Mi looked at Zhou Yutang with her eyes open, a little curious.
It seems that the actresses who have been trained by Zhou Yutang are incredibly transformed.
She knows very well what level Liu Shishi is. Can you believe that her performance in "Those Years" was nominated for the Golden Horse?
After Tang Yan was trained by Zhou Yutang in "Sword and Sword 3", she seemed to have an enlightenment, and even Yang Mi, the green tea Lin Luoxue in "Classmates" felt the pressure.
The most unscientific one is Liu Yifei.
Yang Mi had already gotten along with Liu Yifei on the set of "The Condor" and knew her acting characteristics.
She is invincible in the world for playing roles like the fairy sister, because she is not the one to act.
With that beautiful face, Aunt Liu really protected her like an innocent fairy.
But there seems to be a different person in the crew of "Star You".
Only then did Yang Mi realize that in reality, immortals can also act coquettishly and have convulsions.
It's even better when filming ambiguous emotional scenes.
She watched several scenes with Zhou Yutang, and her eyes were so sweet that they seemed to be able to pull out thin crystal threads.
Even Da Mimi felt tingling after watching it. I really don’t know which man can resist it.
Yang Mi was very impressed that Liu Yifei's acting skills were so real that they didn't even look like actors. This must be the result of Zhou Yutang's training in acting skills.
"I have communicated with Sister Fen and there is generally nothing wrong with your performance."
Zhou Yutang said calmly: "You sometimes don't express your emotions very well. Let me ask you, how is Yang Tianmei's character?"
"Yang Tianmei and Liu Yiren have been good friends since junior high school. Because they are not as good-looking as Liu Yiren, they are jealous inside. She wants to prove that she is no worse than her best friend."
Damimi had done her homework and had her own understanding of the role of Yang Tianmei as a best friend.
"Yes, it should be noted that this kind of jealousy is the inevitable result of accumulation over time. Usually you deliberately suppress this negative emotion, but with two people in the entertainment industry together, one is getting higher and higher, and the other is always When you are a supporting role, what you work so hard to get is available to her at your fingertips. Even the male idol you have a crush on is in love with your best friend and turns a blind eye to your affection."
"In this case, the jealousy in your heart will gradually amplify in your heart. You will no longer be frank, you will no longer be self-conscious, and you will inevitably become darker. On the surface, we are still best friends, but You secretly do a lot of things to deceive your best friend."
"Hate, when did I cheat on my bestie? Am I that kind of person?"
Da Mimi raised her chest and stared, stretched out her hand in a sultry manner, leaned forward and gently hit Zhou Yutang.
"Oh, I'm talking about the best friend in the play."
Zhou Yutang withdrew his gaze from the trembling big honey and continued to say slowly: "In short, human beings are very complex animals and cannot be defined by simple good or bad.
The same is true for Yang Tianmei. She is a very real woman. Maybe her nature is not bad, but she did wrong things driven by jealousy. But your best friend is very kind, and she chose to forgive you, and you finally Let go of that jealous emotion and complete the cleansing."
"As for the specific performance techniques in the play, I don't need to say more, right? Your ability is fine, just think about it slowly. I have something to do here."
Zhou Yutang watched Da Mimi deep in thought, stood up and left.
"That makes sense."
Yang Mi thought about it and felt that Zhou Yutang analyzed her well.
Stanislavsky once said that there is no role, big or small.
Yang Tianmei is the second female lead, and she is also a very layered character. If she can really perform that kind of real feeling, she will be brilliant.
She came back to her senses and was about to say thank you to Zhou Yutang, when she saw Zhou Yutang chatting animatedly with Yan Danchen, who had just joined the group.
Yan Danchen is a senior at the Beijing Film Academy. She became popular because of her role as the beautiful Chang'e in "Lotus Lantern" and became a goddess in the eyes of many people.
This time, the big star Yan Ruyu plays the role in the film, and she is also the arch-enemy of the heroine Liu Yiren, who also plays a key role in advancing the plot.
Because she also has a woman whose identity is the villain Qin Hao. Because she accidentally obtained evidence of Qin Hao's crime, she was discovered by the sinister and cautious Qin Hao, drugged and pushed into the sea on the cruise ship.
Then Qin Hao fueled the flames behind the scenes and deliberately guided public opinion to make Liu Yifei the existence that Wan Fu pointed out. People therefore believed that it was Liu Yiren's mental bullying that led to Yan Ruyu's suicide after depression. Her various online violence made Liu Yifei His acting career hit rock bottom.
Seeing Zhou Yutang being called by the crew's producer Chen Xi to discuss the filming progress of the crew, Yang Mi sat next to Yan Danchen: "Sister Danchen, what were you talking about with Yu Tang just now?"
"Talking about things in school, it has been many years since I graduated, but I still miss the mutton finger rice at Beijiang Restaurant. Mimi, are you familiar with Mr. Zhou?"
Faced with Yang Mi, one of the four most popular actresses, Yan Danchen also had a very cordial attitude.
She saw the way Yang Mi and Zhou Yutang were chatting just now. Not only they were talking and laughing, but they could also be said to be touching.
Of course it's not that Zhou Yutang touched Yang Mi. Although there are rumors that Zhou Yutang has a romantic reputation, this is obviously not the case based on what Yan Danchen has observed since joining the group.
Zhou Yutang behaved in a very professional and disciplined manner.
The private communication with actresses is not even as much as with director Lin Yufen.
Instead, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi often took the initiative to look for him.
Just like big honey honey.
Sometimes when they are happy, like many girls, they reach out to pat Zhou Yutang and express their emotions through physical contact. This is also a sign of closeness.
"No, they are just ordinary friends."
Da Mimi is also a human being, and said with a smile: "Sister Danchen, you joined the group late, but you may not know that Yu Tang is actually very talkative. I just went to ask him for advice on acting skills."
"President Zhou's acting skills are indeed very good. He just won the Best Actor Award."
"Compared with his acting skills, I think he is better at scripts and character settings. I just heard him say this, and it felt a bit enlightening."
"It's really amazing. He is the youngest and best screenwriter of Magnolia. I like his works very much."
"Really? I think "Lonely Agent" looks better."
"I prefer "Want to See You"."
Yan Danchen was chatting with Yang Mi, but glanced at Zhou Yutang.
As an actor, Zhou Yutang's acting skills are certainly impeccable.
But what Yan Danchen valued more was not just that.
Zhou Yutang is the scriptwriter and investor father of this show.
Since Yan Danchen became popular as Chang'e, she has taken on many roles a few years ago, but as far as the crews she has been in, she has never seen anyone as different as Zhou Yutang.
As the boss of the crew, he was so energetic that he personally participated in the entire filming process.
He had to nod for every detail in the entire play.
It is said that top foreign costume stylists were specially invited to serve as styling consultants, and they cooperated with the crew's styling team to style the main creators.
The clothes and jewelry used in the play are all famous brands. Armani, Paul Smith, and sneakers are Lanvin. The lace skirt Liu Yifei wears is Burberry Prorsum, and the reflective sunglasses she wears are LV.
Yan Danchen himself is also wearing Givenchy.
Even the household items in the interior scenery are all brand-name.
Undeniable.
Such a professional attitude of striving for perfection gave Yan Danchen a completely different shooting experience.
This is the key to making a play well.
"If I agree then."
The makeup artist began to apply makeup, and Yan Danchen also withdrew his gaze from Zhou Yutang. The smile on the beautiful face in the mirror gradually faded.
I sighed quietly in my heart.
She thought of Zhou Yutang's debut film "Want to See You".
I have filmed more than ten movies in the past two years, but none of them together has as much influence as that one "Want to See You".
Why did Zeng Li, who was originally a third-tier celebrity, become a first-tier celebrity now?
The key is that the movie "Want to Meet You" laid a solid fan base for her.
After that, he boarded a big ship with Zhou Yutang, and then took on "Latent". His acting career went smoothly, and his popularity skyrocketed.
Originally, Yan Danchen was definitely more popular than Zeng Li.
But now I can only look up at her back.
Yan Danchen often saw Zeng Li in the front-page news, which made Yan Danchen feel dissatisfied and regretful.
Zhou Yutang actually called her to invite her to star in "Want to Meet You".
It was true that she took on several dramas at that time, but for some of them, the conditions were negotiated and no contracts were signed. However, her agent did not send Zhou Yutang's script to her at all at that time.
The reason is also very simple.
A script written by a freshman who has just entered Beijing Film Academy, even if he is also a best-selling online author, is easy to be looked down upon.
Zhou Yutang is now in front of him.
Who dares to despise him any more?
After the broadcast of "Want to See You", Yan Danchen's career trend declined. The audience will not remember you because of your mediocre film and television dramas.
And then.
She got a new agent.
But every time I think about this incident, I always feel that it is the biggest regret in my life.
Life is like this sometimes.
Choice outweighs effort.
