Chapter 313 Pity and Amazing, Little Miss Sunshine
Zhou Yutang turned on the phone in a low-key manner.
A huge earthquake also occurred in the film market.
The imported blockbuster "Transformers 3" finally landed in the domestic market.
The box office of Zero Point Screenings directly exceeded 10 million, and the box office on the day of its premiere reached an astonishing 112 million.
The highest single-day box office record of 68 million set by Zhou Yutang's "Thieves" has been increased by more than 40 million.
On the second day of its release, it still had a box office of 87 million, which was almost overwhelming, sweeping away all its opponents in the same period, and also foreshadowing the box office king of mainland movies in August.
This major production, which grossed US$317 million at the box office in North America, has reached a global box office of US$813 million.
The domestic film market is wailing and crying wolf.
However, "A League of Thieves" had already been released at this time, which had no impact on Zhou Yutang.
It's just a pain that "Kuiba", a domestic animation, has a production cost of 35 million yuan and a publicity budget of more than 20 million yuan. It had a lot of momentum before and collided with this imported blockbuster. After its release, the box office in the first weekend was less than 2 million yuan. In the end, All you can do is lose your money.
Huo Wenxi was not in a good mood either.
Yinghuang has a movie called "Overheard 2" coming soon.
After "Transformers 3", there is another Hollywood blockbuster "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)".
Look at this posture.
There is a wolf before and a tiger behind, and Ying Huang's film may become cannon fodder.
"The plot is average, but there are a lot of advertising placements."
"Where did Meghan go? The heroine in this movie is not good looking."
"There's no hope of breaking Avatar's record, right?"
Even on the crew of "Search", many people are discussing this movie.
The record of "Avatar" is not so easy to break. The box office dropped significantly on the third and fourth days after its release.
The film's reputation can only be described as average.
before starting up.
Zhou Yutang accompanied Gao Yuanyuan to the cinema to watch the movie.
There are still various collisions between Autobots, and the plot is lackluster.
It is worth mentioning that the heroine of this Transformers movie was replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for a somewhat sensitive reason.
Megan Fox, the original heroine, publicly called the director a tyrant and compared him to Napoleon and Adolf Hitler, which angered producer Spielberg.
It is estimated that this was due to the sudden explosion, and people were a little carried away.
The current United States has offended the Jews, who have a considerable voice.
Then basically there is no need to mix.
No matter how popular you are.
In just one sentence, he packed up and left the set.
"It doesn't look as good as the upper part. There are too many advertisements, including Metersbonwe, Yili, and TCL."
Gao Yuanyuan suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Yu Tang, Metersbonwe seems to have sponsored our play, right?"
"That's right."
Zhou Yutang smiled and nodded.
Metersbonwe is really rich.
They spent money to hire classmate Zhou as a spokesperson, and spent 8 million to sponsor Zhou Yutang's "Search".
In addition to Metersbonwe, "Search" has also negotiated many sponsorships.
The Ningbo government sponsored 12 million yuan in filming funds, and Mercedes-Benz, Armani, Asus and other brands also sponsored.
The total investment in "Search" is only 40 million, and the cost can be almost recovered through early sponsorship alone.
This is the terrifying influence of Zhou Yutang's extreme popularity and golden reputation.
It is precisely because of this.
Xinli Media's Cao Huayi tried his best to get Zhou Yutang on the "Yue Fei" train.
Because the schedule in the second half of the year is very tight.
Zhou Yutang was determined to resolve this drama quickly.
There wasn't even a regular power-on ceremony.
Just sent a simple message through the official WeChat account.
The first day of official filming.
The shooting scene, the set is completed.
Zhou Yutang used a walkie-talkie to communicate at the scene.
Let the actors go through the play briefly.
The first scene in the opening row is relatively simple.
After Ye Lanqiu learned that he was terminally ill, he was hesitant and desperate. He borrowed money in Shen Liushu's office, and then was caught by Mrs. Shen and mistakenly thought it was an affair.
The character setting of Shen Liusu is the CEO of a listed company.
Style is important.
The decoration of his office should naturally be decent and elegant.
Zhou Yutang borrowed the office of the CEO of a local listed company with the help of the head of a certain local government department.
In addition, it has been carefully arranged.
Behind the desk is a picture of a galloping horse worth millions of dollars.
The manager knew that the antique vases, calligraphy and paintings in the office were worth at least seven figures each. He was secretly shocked and acted with extreme caution.
If this happens, I won't be able to afford the compensation if I sell them.
"start!"
After confirming that the photography, lighting, sound recording and other departments were ready, as Zhou Yutang's voice sounded, the recorder marked the stage, and filming officially began.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
High heels hitting the ground made a crisp sound.
The camera of camera No. 2 zooms in to a close-up view.
Under Gao Yuanyuan's dark blue professional skirt.
The pair of slender legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, with superior calf curves, were wearing a pair of white high-heeled shoes.
Zhou Yutang has experienced how stunning Da Meiyuan's outfit is.
Enter the office.
"Tomorrow's negotiation is very important. Prepare the documents first."
"Mr. Shen, I want to ask for leave."
Gao Yuanyuan covered her neck and spoke in a low and soft voice.
"After these few days of busy work, let's talk about it after the contract is signed."
Shen Liusu wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, without raising his head, holding a cigarette between his legs and browsing documents.
"I can't wait any longer. I'm going to take leave now."
"What happened?"
Only then did Shen Liusu raise his head, stood up from his seat, and asked aloud.
Zhou Yutang sat on the director's chair, supporting his chin with his hand, looking at the monitor, but his brows frowned slightly unconsciously.
A few minutes later, after watching this performance, he stopped and said, "Yuanyuan, your expression is too bland, you need to express your emotions a little more."
"Director, aren't my emotions enough?"
Zhou Yutang ignored Da Meiyuan, who was tilting her head in a cute way: "Think about it, how Ye Lanqiu would feel when he learned the news that he was terminally ill?"
"Sadness comes from it, both hesitation and despair."
Seeing Zhou Yutang's serious tone, Gao Yuanyuan also became serious.
"Ye Lanqiu wanted to explain, but out of pride, he couldn't say the words out, and he collapsed emotionally."
"At this time, it is important to express this fragile feeling."
Every director has a different way of telling a story.
Zhou Yutang will not break down every detail to the actors.
He always feels that the way of expression should be the professional actor's own business.
What should be said has long been told to Gao Yuanyuan in private.
When on set, he pays more attention to helping actors enter that emotional state.
Some highly talented actors may have a sudden flash of inspiration and perform amazingly when they get into shape.
But obviously, Da Meiyuan is not among the talented actors.
So this scene had to be reshot repeatedly.
Until she found the feeling.
Zhou Yutang's eyes lit up behind the monitor.
Gao Yuanyuan turned her body and turned her head.
There was a cry in his voice.
Emotions exploded at this moment.
Her performance blends perfectly with the character.
at this time.
Gao Yuanyuan is Ye Lanqiu.
Like a beautiful, fragile and fragile piece of porcelain.
It's pitiable.
I also feel amazing.
The shots taken on the first day were all in Shen Liusu's office.
Except for Gao Yuanyuan's emotional breakdown, which was difficult, everything else went smoothly.
"Director, have a drink of water."
After finishing work, when Zhou Yutang finished his work, Tan Songyun diligently came over to deliver water.
"Thank you. I haven't had any drama with you these past two days, right?"
Zhou Yutang took the water and took a sip, looking slightly surprised: "Why are you here so early?"
Tan Songyun played Fang Chunyi in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and received a lot of attention.
In this drama, she plays the role of the nanny that Ye Lanqiu wants to hire. She doesn't have much of a role, so she comes in the back.
"hey-hey."
Tan Songyun smiled brightly: "I'll come over and study hard with Director Zhou and make some progress."
Nowadays everyone wants to make progress.
Zhou Yutang was a little helpless: "Kan Qingzi in your dormitory performed well today."
Kan Qingzi also joined the cast, playing the role of Tang Xiaohua, Shen Liusu's second secretary.
He is in direct competition with the first secretary Ye Lanqiu. He is also a classmate of Yang Jiaqi's elementary school and is one of the driving forces behind Ye Lanqiu's cyber violence.
There are many more scenes than Tan Songyun.
But looking at Tan Songyun, he didn't care at all: "I came with Qingzi to audition. She was really happy to be chosen for this role, so I followed her to make a difference."
"You guys have such a good relationship."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.
"Of course, Aoko and I live in the same room."
"By the way, you also have a role in Tiantian's drama, right?"
"You're talking about "Glory of the Tang Dynasty". Qingzi and I are also here, but the casting for that drama hasn't ended yet. I don't know when it will start filming."
Tan Songyun's round face with a cheerful and sunny smile is so cute that people want to pinch it.
"Running Man" helped Da Tiantian accumulate a certain degree of national popularity. This "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is Jing Tian's second step in the film and television industry.
The production cost of this drama was directly raised to 100 million. After Zhu Yilong and Jing Tian were confirmed to play the leading roles, it attracted a lot of exposure.
One is a popular youngster from Jiangdong Entertainment, and the other is also a regular guest in Running Man and is a popular actress at the moment.
Both of them are very popular, so naturally many viewers are looking forward to this drama.
But this is also a big drama, with a lot of episodes and a lot of actors, so the early preparations will take a little longer.
Zhou Yutang listened with interest to Tan Songyun's talk about school affairs.
This girl is one year behind Zhou Yutang and will graduate this year. It was a bit sad to talk about this topic. Before he could say a few words of relief, Tan Songyun chuckled again,
"Is there something on my face?"
Feeling Tan Songyun's eyes on his face, Zhou Yutang wiped his face.
"No, Director Zhou."
Tan Songyun asked curiously: "I think you are quite handsome with a beard. Why did you suddenly think of growing a beard?"
"Role requirements."
Zhou Yutang shrugged: "I grew a beard for two weeks and let the makeup artist do the styling."
"It's really stylish."
Tan Songyun gave Zhou Yutang a thumbs up.
"To each other, and your hair is beautiful too."
Zhou Yutang was also happy.
Always dealing with those 800 scheming old foxes.
Occasionally chat with such a sunny little beauty who has no scheming intentions.
It feels pretty good too.
