Chapter 258 Visiting team, status, good news
strictly speaking.
Zhao Liying is not that kind of top beauty.
But at this moment, Zhao Liying, who was wearing a beige velvet sweater and a round head, really made Zhou Yutang's eyes shine.
Indescribably sweet and smart.
Every frown and every smile is endearing.
No wonder, even the author of the original work, who has such high demands from Gu Man, was very satisfied with her playing the role of Xue Shanshan after meeting Xiao Zhao.
"Boss, you are such a good person, I'm welcome."
Looking at Xiao Zhao, who was a little natural and silly, with a sweet mouth, he flattered and sent Zhou Yutang a good person card, and then happily destroyed the exquisite cake in front of him.
"Eat slowly."
Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly: "No one will compete with you."
It could be seen that Xiao Zhao was really moved, tears flowed from the corners of his mouth.
This time when he came to visit the class, he asked Mao Xiaoyu to order a batch of milk tea and snacks in advance.
"Is there any pressure in this drama?"
"That's not true."
Zhao Liying's face was bulging, she shook her head, tried hard to swallow the cake, and smiled brightly: "Sister Fen and Brother Long take good care of me."
Zhou Yutang started to drink chicken soup again: "Well, you behave well. When this movie is finished, the company will have another movie, and you will be the heroine. When the time comes."
This is not just a pie in the sky, "Love Is Not Blind" has already been approved and the cast has been decided in advance.
Kan Qingzi, Tan Songyun, and Zhang Jiao, who were sitting in the actor's lounge area, listened with their ears perked up, feeling a little envious in their hearts.
After they starred in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", they are not too transparent. Their starting point is much higher than that of ordinary newcomers, but in front of Zhao Liying.
Really not enough.
Zhou Yutang gave Zhao Liying such resources, not to mention them, even the most popular actresses in the industry would be envious when they saw it.
With the TV series and movies controlled by Jiangdong Entertainment, it can almost be expected that Zhao Liying will take off soon.
"Boss, I will definitely work hard!"
Zhao Liying's big eyes were also shining, and she was full of fighting spirit. She noticed that Zhou Yutang seemed to be looking at the girl next to her a few more times, so she took the initiative to introduce: "This is my roommate and best friend, Zhang Jiao."
"Ah!? Mr. Zhou, hello."
Zhang Jiao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a bit, and she quickly stood up to say hello.
"Ah hello."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: "I remember Director Zheng mentioned that you performed well in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Zhang Jiao was a little flattered. She wanted to say something grateful and flattering, but she was embarrassed.
The main reason is that there are many actors in the crew around me, but they are too flattering and annoying.
Between worrying about gains and losses, my mind went blank, and I actually opened my mouth, not knowing what to say.
The actors nearby also took the initiative to say hello.
The Film Academy has helped Zhou Yutang a lot on his rise, and most of the projects he oversees employ people with backgrounds in the Film Academy.
Not only did Zhao Liying's roommate and best friend Zhang Jiao get the role, Kan Qingzi and Tan Songyun came to audition and were also given supporting roles.
After injecting full positive energy into Xiao Zhao, Zhou Yutang was ready to communicate with Lin Yufen about the filming progress.
"Mr. Zhou."
Kan Qingzi and Tan Songyun stood up at this time and greeted each other in a somewhat reserved manner.
"Just call me Senior Brother."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly at the two women: "You must continue to work hard, and we will have dinner together when Tiantian comes back."
He had several dinner dates with Da Tiantian and her roommates, and he had a good impression of these two girls.
"Aoko."
Tan Songyun hugged Kan Qingzi's arm and whispered: "I think Senior Brother Zhou was very approachable when he was at school, but on the set, I didn't dare to talk to him."
"normal."
Kan Qingzi's character is more mature and steady than Tan Songyun. Looking at Zhou Yutang leaving surrounded by several on-site producers, photography and lighting team leaders, his eyes flashed with strange light and he said:
"School is school, and being on the set means entering society. He is the boss of an entertainment company. He has a high status and a strong aura. Even Director Lin respects him."
Zhou Yutang just said something to them.
The other people in the crew looked at them differently than before, with a hint of eagerness.
"Yu Tang."
When Zhu Yilong saw Zhou Yutang, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I've been to Renyi."
"how do you feel?"
"Yes, acting in a drama is really interesting."
Brother Long's eyes flashed with excitement: "Don't rehearse for me this year. I want to settle down for a while. I feel that I can learn a lot by communicating with Teacher Wu Gang."
"Teacher Wu Gang's acting skills are really great."
Zhou Yutang also shook his head and chuckled.
That is a pillar of the human art scene with more than 20 years of drama skills.
In terms of acting skills, all kinds of characters, be they loyal, traitorous, good or evil, can be portrayed with great precision.
Brother Long is still the same Brother Long who wants to make progress.
The original intention has not changed at all.
If it were Zhang Ruojun, the first thing this guy would say when meeting her would be something like "Brother Tang, are you and Lin Yoona really close?" Such gossipy questions with excessive curiosity.
After chatting with Brother Long for a while, after the crew's break, Zhou Yutang watched a scene behind the monitor.
It is a scene opposite Zhu Yilong and Zhao Liying.
A comparison.
The difference appears.
Zhu Yilong played the cold and sinister domineering president Feng Teng in "Shanshan Is Here".
Faintly a bit old-fashioned, Zhu Yilong puts on a black suit, and his unsmiling look is a bit stern, and he really knows this role very well.
The main reason is that Brother Long has very solid basic acting skills and he is willing to work hard to study.
Before Zhao Liying entered this industry, she was a girl who graduated from an ordinary flight attendant school. She had no systematic training in acting. Zhou Yutang used her connections to get her into the film school, and she was still polishing her foundation.
Her acting skills are definitely not good at the moment, average at best.
But its image is very suitable for this playful and cute snack food.
Moreover, Xiao Zhao has risen from the bottom and has a perseverance and tenacity in him.
Once you decide on something, you will do everything you can to do it well.
This is what Zhou Yutang admires most about her.
Lin Yufen has rich experience, and she is very experienced in filming a drama like "Shan Shan Is Coming". According to the current shooting progress, it is expected to be completed in December.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" continues to be popular, the attention and discussion continue to rise, and the ratings are also rising steadily, getting closer to breaking the four major marks.
The rating on Douban has dropped slightly, remaining at 9.5.
There is also the script of the emotional series "Reply 1997" which is currently under expedited production.
Movie aspect.
The preliminary preparations for "Thieves Alliance" are also going very smoothly.
There is also good news. Zhou Yutang was just about to have a meeting with Lin Xiong, the manager of the film department, when he received a work email from Zou Zhongyan.
For the drama "The Purge", the female lead was Lena Headey, who is Cersei Lannister in the upcoming "Game of Thrones".
The eldest daughter is Blake Lively, one of the heroines of the American TV series "Gossip Girl".
These two are characters with a lot of roles. Zhou Yutang called Zou Zhongyan back: "Sister Zou, I received the email."
"what do you think?"
Zou Zhongyan valued Zhou Yutang's opinions very much.
This script was written by him. After the initial negotiation with Bob, both parties agreed that Zhou Yutang would have a considerable say in the film.
Zhou Yutang agreed readily: "I have no objection. When will the filming start?"
"Ethan Hawke still has a movie to play now. He will wait until the schedule over there is over, which will be around January."
"Can."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.
In this way, the main cast is basically determined.
Except for Ethan Hawke, none of them are big names.
But what matters in this movie is the idea, not the star.
……………………
As we enter the end of November, the domestic film market is starting to see smoke.
Released at the beginning of the month, "Western Wind", which was intended to grab the Spring Festival opening, ended up with a box office of only 68 million, which can be said to be a big hit.
But the trailer of another movie has attracted countless viewers:
boom!
After the deafening gunfire, Jiang Wen's majestic voice sounded,
"If you live, you will die sooner or later."
"A fierce bandit from the green forest, a tyrant from the southern country, there is no way out in the world."
Then there are several major producers, China Film Group, Jiangdong Entertainment, and Yinghuang Group.
"Master Qingtian!"
From the beginning, Jiang Wen immediately entered Goose City.
During this period, Ge You, Zhou Runfa, Chen Kun and others appeared one after another.
The scene where the three movie kings competed was gripping.
The trailer is just over a minute long, but it already contains a lot of information, and the lines are even more profound and thought-provoking.
"Jiang Wen, has Zhou Yutang invested in this film?"
"Didn't he act himself?"
"The Governor didn't act, but he invested a lot of money."
"Just looking at the trailer is quite interesting. Three major movie stars are acting on the same stage."
"It will be released next month. Who knows when the filming of The Governor's "A League of Thieves" will start?"
"The cast has just been confirmed, so it may take some time."
Depending on the situation, there has been good discussion online, and Zhou Yutang also posted on Weibo to express his support:
"Brother Wen is one of the most talented directors in China. I have watched the finished film of his "Let the Bullets Fly" in advance. The three major movie stars are acting together on the same stage. It is absolutely wonderful. It will be released next month. I am going to go there. Let’s watch it again in the cinema. Anyone want to go with me?”
By the way, I posted a photo of myself on the set with several movie stars.
The comments below instantly started flooding the screen.
Liu Shishi: "While the crew was filming, I wanted to go and had a tearful expression."
Yang Mi: "Let's go!"
Tang Yan: "I invite you to come together."
Jing Tian: "I wish the movie invested by Brother Yu Tang will be a big hit at the box office. When the time comes, I will book a few shows and select lucky fans to watch the movie together!"
Soon, there were tens of thousands of comments that were hard to read.
Liu Shishi called immediately.
She is still in Hengdian at this time and may stay until December.
It had been some time since we had seen each other, and Liu Shishi acted in a rare coquettish and cute manner, with deep attachment in his voice.
Not only "Let the Bullets Fly", several movies scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival have begun to be promoted intensively.
On this day, Zhou Yutang was invited to attend the premiere of Poet Chen's "The Orphan of Zhao".
It's not all for Poet Chen's sake, there are many Zhou Yutang acquaintances in this film.
Huang Xiaoming and Fan Xiaopang both star, and the cast is quite luxurious.
Ge You, Wang Xuexi, Zhang Fengyi, Zhao Wenzhuo, Hai Qing, etc. are all big names in the industry.
Although Poet Chen did not recite poetry, he was still very energetic and said that this movie was his proud work.
As the poet's royal producer, Chen Hong, when faced with questions from media reporters regarding box office estimates, was elegant and intellectual, yet full of confidence:
"I hope that this film will be worthy of the investors first and not lose money. I hope that everyone can make a little profit. But for us, making a good film is more important than making a lot of money. It is really not easy."
Perhaps thinking of her husband's difficult situation in recent years, when it came to the emotional point, this person who was recognized as a strong contender for Mainland China's most beautiful woman almost burst into tears on the spot.
The total investment in this movie is over 100 million.
Well, according to the law of Trinity.
The final box office must be at least 300 million to ensure profitability.
Very difficult.
Zhou Yutang was not very optimistic. He was finishing an interview with a media.
Then he saw the mature beauty walking towards him.
