Chapter 385: Blooming mountain flowers, the most affectionate [6K monthly vote requested]
The filming of "Celebrating More Than Years" went very smoothly, and "Border Storm" was just as Zhou Yutang expected.
The box office on the first day was tepid, but the film's excellent reputation continued to grow, and with the help of promotional resources, the first week's ticket sales were 148 million. In the second week into April, the box office performance was stable, with 115 million.
Seeing that the 300 million mark is just around the corner, there are still no strong competitors in the domestic film market during the same period.
Nowadays, there are many people who are eager for the "囧姧" series to take off at the box office. Instead of talking about cross talk, Guo Degang came to act in a "Car on the Road".
The box office on the first day was just over 2 million, which shows that not everyone can play the Jon series.
The subtle chemical reaction between the leading actors, Baldy Xu and Wang Baoyu, is crucial.
As for "The Man", which Huang Xiaoming personally participated in and co-invested with Enlight, it will not be released until mid-April, so it will have little impact on "Border Storm".
Seeing that it was about to take off, I met the truck driver's "Titanic 3D".
This is a 3D movie that director James Cameron and his team spent 18 million US dollars to create a ship that was already at its peak.
In this era of capital, $18 million doesn’t seem expensive.
But it took the truck driver and a team of 300 people a full two years to draw the outline of each picture frame by frame, establish a three-dimensional grid model of each object, and then add viewpoint information to obtain its depth map.
This is purely a highly subjective and repetitive mechanical manual labor, which captures the depth information in each picture frame by frame.
Zhou Yutang couldn't help but admire him.
"Titanic 3D" grossed RMB 73 million on its first day of release. It easily exceeded RMB 120 million in two days and RMB 180 million in three days. On Saturday, a holiday, it even set a new single-day box office record of RMB 122 million.
It directly destroyed the Chinese film industry in April.
"Border" was also inevitably affected. After the release of Big Boat, the daily box office dropped sharply to just over 10 million, and the film schedule was also reduced.
However, Brother Big Dog is quite satisfied with such a box office. If it reaches 300 million, it will be considered a success.
Huang Xiaoming’s balls ached.
Others were still on the set of "Yue Fei" and called Zhou Yutang. He sighed: "Yu Tang, it's hard to make movies. "Titanic" was too fierce. Later, there were "Operation Miami", "Operation New York", "Operation New York", "Operation Miami" and "Operation New York". "Battleship" and "Soul Tank 2" are all blockbusters, and my movie "The Man" will be released soon."
This guy is really unlucky.
I avoided Zhou Yutang's "Search" which won an award in Berlin, and deliberately chose to release it in mid-April, which just happened to hit the muzzle of the big ship.
"it's the same."
Zhou Yutang comforted him: "We have to look at several other imported films. The attendance rate of Big Ship is very high, and the stamina is expected to be very strong. In May, there will be "Avengers"."
"Search" also has a wolf in front and a tiger behind.
After the new Sino-US film agreement is reached, this will become the norm. Hollywood blockbusters will be released every month, which will have a great impact on the Chinese film industry.
Many small and medium-sized film companies are dejected, and industry organizations have also made statistics. Domestic movie box office statistics for the first quarter, except for "囧" which surpassed 1 billion and surpassed the rest, are all imported Hollywood blockbusters.
"Mission: Impossible 4", "Alien Battlefield" and "Sherlock Holmes 2" have beaten domestic films to such a level that they cannot hold their heads high.
"Jiangdong Entertainment is still awesome."
“The feeling of standing out from the crowd.”
"Anti-American Pioneer Zhou Yutang."
"Only the Governor of Jiangdong can lead the Chinese film industry to greatness."
Many reporters want to interview Zhou Yutang and ask him what he thinks of the Chinese film market.
However, at this time, the crew of "Celebrating More Than Years" is closed for filming and is not open to the public. Zhou Yutang is not even planning to travel for the celebration banquet of "Border Storm".
Zhou Yutang told Big Dog Brother and asked Li Shuang to attend the celebration banquet in his place, while he continued filming on the crew's side.
During this period, most of the filming was between Zhou Yutang and Li Yao.
From the beginning, the cooperation was a bit unfamiliar, but later on, they became more and more understanding.
The scenes between the two of them were shot very smoothly.
On the set of "Celebrating More Than Years" that day, Ni Ni held Li Yao's arm and asked curiously: "Li Bao, did you find the money?"
"No."
Li Yao's voice was soft.
"If not, why are you smiling every day lately?"
Ni Ni looked at Li Yao's pointed cheeks, and suddenly her heart moved slightly. She leaned close to Li Yao's ear and smiled narrowly: "Isn't he about to shoot a kissing scene with the boss? Someone Are you feeling excited?"
"Do you want to die."
"No way, are you really talking about the central issue?"
"I didn't, I'm just talking nonsense."
Li Yao glared at Ni Ni shyly.
If it had been more than a month ago, the two people would never have made such a joke.
Because the two people only met a few times when they came to the company for meetings, and they were far from familiar.
But Ni Ni is also a very motivated girl.
After joining Jiangdong Entertainment, except for the brief time when I got along with Zhou Yutang in Berlin, it was difficult to have the opportunity to communicate alone during the rest of the time.
Ni Ni carefully established a relationship with the personal assistant arranged for her by Jiangdong Entertainment's artist management department, and gradually learned about the specific situation of the company.
Zeng Li, Jiangdong's first sister, was very important in Zhou Yutang's heart. She was very sweet-mouthed and she felt a little embarrassed when she praised Zeng Li so much that she reported the situation to Zhou Yutang.
As for Yang Mi, another young star, there is no use building a relationship. Yang Mi is always busy. It took a long time to reply to messages several times, and they were all polite ums.
Ni Ni didn't take it seriously either.
However, Li Yao was very talkative, so he used "Celebrating More Than Years" as the topic. The two went shopping together several times in private, sang K several times, and immediately became good friends.
Then we got to know each other day and night on the set for more than half a month, and the relationship progressed, and they naturally became best friends.
It is also very reasonable for best friends to laugh and play around.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Yutang walked into the lounge.
I originally wanted to ask Li Yao to comment, but I saw two girls hugging each other in a somewhat unsightly posture. I was slightly startled: "I'm sorry, I came at the wrong time."
"Mr. Zhou."
Ni Ni got up from Li Yao, showed her face and said with a smile: "We are joking, do you have anything to do with Qin Bao?"
"I'll tell her about the drama."
"Then I won't bother you."
Ni Ni was very discerning and prepared to dodge.
Never disturb a man when he is doing something, otherwise he will be annoying.
"Don't leave either."
Zhou Yutang waved his hand: "Come here and listen together."
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Ni Ni's face suddenly showed joy, and he pulled Li Yao to sit next to Zhou Yutang.
She plays Si Lili and one of the confidante of the protagonist Fan Xian.
The character Si Lili was a brothel courtesan when she appeared on the stage, so her aura of prostitution was very important.
It must be charming.
When Zhou Yutang originally asked Ni Ni to play this role, it was because of her charming and seductive aura.
Compared with the top beauties in the entertainment industry, Ni Ni's facial features are actually not outstanding. The distance between the eyes is slightly wider and the bridge of the nose is slightly shorter. However, when the facial features are put together on a small face, they look very harmonious and beautiful.
Especially when she acted in "Thirteen Hairpins", she received professional training and had a good foundation in body posture and steps, which also saved Zhou Yutang a lot of effort.
Let’s talk about Li Yao first, and then Ni Ni.
Zhou Yutang's mouth was almost dry as he spoke, and both girls seemed to be somewhat rewarded.
The main thing is to accurately convey the effect he wants. How well the performance will be depends on their understanding.
After talking about the scene, there was still some time before filming started. Ni Ni took out her high-end chocolate to replenish Zhou Yutang's energy: "I'm really sorry, but I have to trouble the boss to tell us the scene."
Zhou Yutang was eating chocolate, which tasted quite good, and he asked casually: "How was the filming of your "Sad Fairy Tale"?"
"As soon as my scene is finished filming, I'll go over to the crew over there."
"Well, behave well."
"I will definitely work hard."
Ni Ni felt from the bottom of her heart that this opportunity was very good.
After all, she has the reputation of being a scheming girl, but that is all false. Who would pay a newcomer like her to act in a movie with real money?
Either she was working for some small companies that she couldn't name, and Zhou Yutang casually introduced her as the number one female lead in movies.
"Hey, boss, I went shopping with Qin Bao yesterday, and now "Titanic" is really popular."
"Have you gone to see it?"
"I haven't watched it yet, I haven't bought a ticket yet."
Ni Ni smiled and said: "But we saw the movie poster of you and Gao Yuanyuan, boss, at the entrance of the cinema. It is very high-quality. I am going to download it as wallpaper."
"Um."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and asked Ni Ni for another piece of chocolate.
"Search" is scheduled to be released at the end of April, and promotions have already begun. Many movie fans are interested in this literary and romantic film that won an award in Berlin.
Ni Ni took the initiative to help him tear open the package and feed it to his mouth.
Zhou Yutang stretched his head over, and his lips accidentally touched the slender jade finger. Ni Ni's body seemed to tremble, and she quickly retracted: "Boss, you are usually very busy."
"There's been a lot going on lately."
Zhou Yutang smiled and just pretended that nothing happened.
Even though I have reached the pinnacle of time management practice, I am still a little overwhelmed.
Chatting with Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei is a must-do daily task.
From time to time, she has to deal with harassment from Yang Mi and Tang Yan. Recently, Guli Naza doesn't know what's going on, and she keeps chatting with him.
And Da Meiyuan has to take at least two weeks of leave at the end of the month.
At that time, he had to attend the premiere of "Search" as the starring role and take on the main role of publicity.
Having to run around with Da Meiyuan and Da Mimi again made Zhou Yutang feel tired just thinking about it, and he reflected deeply on himself.
I've been a little slack recently and haven't practiced the kidney-nurturing skills taught by teacher Yu Chenghui. It seems I have to pick up the kidney-nurturing skills.
Seeing Zhou Yutang pondering for a moment, as if thinking about something, Ni Ni turned around and asked Li Yao: "Qin Bao, is your movie "Wind in the Wood Mansion" about to be aired too?"
"May."
Li Yao's voice was gentle and gentle: "I may have to ask for leave by then, boss."
"Go ahead. Sister Jiang has already considered this. I will say hello to Director Kong then."
Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "That's why our scenes were filmed in advance. Ni Ni, you should also pay attention and learn from Xin Zhilei."
"Xin Zhilei is really hardworking."
Ni Ni expressed his sincere admiration.
TV series are not filmed according to the development of the plot, but based on the actors' schedules. There is a scene where Zhou Yutang cheats when fighting with Haitang Duoduo and gives her a new drug that helps her metabolism, but he deceives her that it is lip medicine.
When Haitang Duoduo learned this, her face turned red and she jumped directly into the river to calm her mind.
When the director team communicated with the actors about this scene, they said it could be shot indoors, and then through post-production, specific effects would be presented.
However, Xin Zhilei insisted on shooting in real scenes.
She felt it was more real.
It was still late March when we filmed this scene, and the weather had not yet warmed up. Xin Zhilei had to soak in the cold river water for more than half an hour, and his face was pale when he came out.
Such a dedicated attitude is enough for her to win the respect of everyone on the crew.
Here, Ni Ni and Li Yao are surrounded by two beauties. Even Zhou Yutang, who is blind, only finds it eye-catching.
The key is that these two girls with different temperaments but the same good looks both showed a certain degree of admiration for him. He is also a normal man and not a saint, so naturally they feel good about it.
The happy chat between the three of them continued until the venue manager came over and called someone, "Mr. Zhou, Director Kong said we can start."
The officer was shocked when he saw Zhou Yutang making the two girls tremble. He thought that these three people were doing something inappropriate for children in broad daylight.
"Come right over."
Zhou Yutang stood up and said calmly.
Today's scene is a bit difficult. It is the kiss scene between Zhou Yutang and Li Yao in the play.
The scene to be filmed is that Fan Xian received a mission to the Northern Qi Dynasty and had a date with Lin Wan'er among the romantic mountain flowers.
The key is to express the sweet feeling of the beautiful first love of this pair of official CPs.
Although they had already agreed on the lyrics before, Li Yao felt a little flustered inexplicably. Director Kong Sheng stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Can the kiss scene be filmed? Do you want to borrow your seat?"
"no, I'm fine."
Li Yao's reaction made the female assistant beside her twitch.
Qinbao, Qinbao, you were not like this when filming before.
For Jiangdong Entertainment's own dramas, whenever there are intimate scenes, the actors themselves will be asked in advance.
In the few films Li Yao has filmed, the kissing scenes were all filmed using borrowed locations.
But looking at her expression at this time, there was no resistance at all, but a little shy expectation.
"All departments are prepared."
Director Kong Sheng nodded and checked that there were no problems. Zhou Yutang and Li Yao put on their makeup and were in place, and the script was officially written.
The brilliant mountain flowers seem to spread all the way to the distant sky, and the beauty is so mesmerizing.
But what is more beautiful than the scenery is the pair of people.
Zhou Yutang wore a white robe with narrow sleeves and wide body. The collar and sleeves were inlaid with meticulous brocade silver patterns.
Simple and elegant in big places, noble in small parts.
It looks like a orchid orchid tree, behaves casually, and is indescribably chic and elegant.
Li Yao is also wearing a plain dress with silver patterns, which makes her look slim and graceful, pure and beautiful.
"Put your hands behind your back and don't move."
"Three chapters of the agreement. In Northern Qi, you are not allowed to cause peach blossom debts."
Li Yao raised his head slightly, his tone seemed to be coquettish.
The gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and she looked as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth.
Zhou Yutang's thick sword eyebrows were raised slightly: "No one wants me except you."
"What if someone wants it?"
Li Yao frowned slightly.
"except you."
Zhou Yutang's speech gradually slowed down, and his gentle voice made the girl enchanted: "I don't want anyone."
When he entered Nortel, he was immediately surprised by the young woman Teacher Yao, and not just because of his handsome face.
The eyes and lines are all full of charm.
Especially after these years of training, we have made great progress.
Let's imagine.
Liang Chaowei's eyes and Wang Zhiwen's lines appeared in one person.
No girl can resist such deep affection.
Li Yao's reaction at this time was mostly based on instinct. He stood up on tiptoes and took the initiative to move forward and kissed Zhou Yutang on the lips like a dragonfly.
"."
Zhou Yutang did not speak, but was slightly startled. He seemed not to have expected the other party's initiative, and his deep eyes were fixed on the beautiful girl in front of him.
"I I couldn't hold it back."
Saying these words himself made Li Yao a little embarrassed, and even his voice had a hint of anger.
She turned her head to avoid Zhou Yutang's burning eyes.
Zhou Yutang's eyes never left the girl in front of him from beginning to end, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
He looked like he was smiling but not smiling, and he felt a little happy.
"You laugh at me?"
Li Yao couldn't help but stamp his feet.
"No, I just couldn't help but think about it."
"You...you are not allowed to..."
Li Yao stretched out his hand angrily, raising his hand as if to hit him.
Zhou Yutang grabbed her delicate little hand.
Li Yao was struggling slightly.
It's just that she is delicate and frail, so how can she be Zhou Yutang's opponent?
During the tug and pull, the distance between the two people kept getting closer, and a trace of ambiguous atmosphere was brewing unconsciously.
"Isn't it a three-part agreement?"
Zhou Yutang held Li Yao's wrist: "What are the other two?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Li Yao was a little flustered, and even his usually soft voice was trembling.
"Don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly."
"What are you going to do?"
"I miss you."
"You, you haven't left yet."
"I started missing you before you left."
Zhou Yutang gradually approached, Li Yao's waist was bent slightly, his black hair was like splashing ink, and his tone was slightly panicked: "Just think, don't move your mouth."
"I'll listen to you."
Li Yao said seriously: "Listen carefully to me. This time you are sent as ambassador to Northern Qi, you must come back alive. I will wait for you here in this place where the mountain flowers are in full bloom."
The girl's heartbeat is like the flowers blooming all over the mountain.
A smile appeared on the corners of their mouths at the same time.
Zhou Yutang moved very slowly, approaching tentatively.
This time Li Yao didn't evade, but his smile became brighter.
There seemed to be a sweet atmosphere permeating the air, perhaps it was the aroma of brilliant mountain flowers, or perhaps it was the sweet scent of these two lovers in love.
Even the corners of director Kong Sheng's lips raised unconsciously.
Hou Hongliang, who came to visit the class, was also stunned.
He is paying close attention to this play, and naturally he has read the script. At this point in the play, he no longer follows the script.
However, this kind of performance that goes beyond the script seems to be the most authentic emotional expression of the characters in the play, and it is even more emotional than the original script intended.
"Keep kissing!"
Kong Sheng was a little excited.
He hopes that the emotion of this scene can continue to progress.
Then.
Zhou Yutang gently supported Li Yao's waist and Xue's neck.
Li Yao's hand was also holding Zhou Yutang's back. Because he was so nervous, the folds of his clothes could even be seen in the mirror.
Slowly lowered his head and printed it.
Li Yao lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and raised his head.
She didn't avoid it, but responded awkwardly.
After a long time, the two slowly separated.
But this is not the end.
Zhou Yutang looked at Li Yao in front of him with a hint of nostalgia.
This time, Li Yao stood on tiptoe, mustered up all his courage, and took the initiative to kiss her again.
The director did not shout to stop, and the scene continued to be filmed. After about a minute, Director Kong Sheng was satisfied and shouted,
"Click!"
"Well……"
Zhou Yutang let go of Li Yao with a strange expression.
On the surface, he looked obedient, but just now he stuck out his tongue and even bit himself lightly.
Looking into Li Yao's eyes again, Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned, and suddenly had an illusion that the usually quiet and gentle girl in front of him actually looked like a charming little wild cat.
"Perfect, just a perfect performance."
Kong Sheng's somewhat excited voice interrupted the ambiguity between the two, pulled Zhou Yutang over to look at the camera, and commented:
"This scene was not difficult for Yu Tang, and Li Yao deserves praise."
"The performance just now was really good. The emotion was well expressed. It didn't look like a performance at all. It was completely Lin Waner's true feelings for Fan Xian..."
Not bad indeed.
Zhou Yutang also looked back and forth and nodded slightly.
"How about another one?"
Wen Muye himself was a cautious type, and he had been hanging out with Zhou Yutang for a long time, so he made some suggestions from the side.
Director Kong Sheng immediately cast a questioning look at Zhou Yutang.
Li Yao was a little eager to try when he heard it, but Zhou Yutang smiled and shook his head: "This is an improvisation outside the script. If we try it again, it is probably difficult to have such an effect."
From his point of view, this scene was already perfect, and a dozen reshoots could not compare to this outburst of sincere emotion.
If we continue filming, it would be like taking advantage of the actress.
Is the woman he, Zhou Yutang, interested in taking advantage of?
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
After the scene here was over and the crew had to move to another scene for filming, and there was a break, Hou Hongliang came up to say hello.
"Hello, Mr. Hou."
Zhou Yutang took the initiative to shake hands with Hou Hongliang.
He has long been eyeing this gold medal producer of Shanying Group.
On the Noon Sunshine side, Li Xue and Kong Sheng are dedicated to filming and coaching apprentices, while Hou Hongliang is the steward of Noon Sunshine and is responsible for the entire project.
The project "Celebrating More Than Years" was initially rejected by director Kong Sheng. He happened to be working on "Wenzhou Family" at the time and really couldn't leave.
But after the internal meeting of several shareholders of Noon Sunshine, it was Hou Hongliang who convinced the others.
Hou Hongliang over there also wanted to get to know Zhou Yutang.
In the past few years, Zhou Yutang's strong rise has turned domestic entertainment upside down. It can be said that it is truly at its peak.
Noon Sunshine was just established last year. It was just a group of old people coming out of Shanying. So when Zhou Yutang offered an olive branch, Hou Hongliang immediately took the cake.
Shift the focus of the work of Noon Sunshine to "Celebrating More Years".
He who knows the current affairs is a hero.
He knew very well that Zhou Yutang was in charge of investing in a large S-level project worth hundreds of millions. It would not be worth that much money if the entire Noon Sunshine was sold. Being able to participate in it can be regarded as a sign of success.
It was another plain and wordless business exchange.
Zhou Yutang praised Hou Hongliang for his experience and experience, and he would definitely become bigger and stronger under the sunshine at noon.
Hou Hongliang boasted that Zhou Yutang was young and promising and could lead Jiangdong Entertainment to create greater glory.
Director Kong Sheng opened his mouth, but couldn't get anything in. He felt a little dizzy.
He was good at directing, but not good at this kind of interpersonal communication, and he felt more and more that Zhou Yutang was a monster.
Hou Hongliang and Zhou Yutang looked at each other and smiled.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so there is no need to play any kind of fairy tale.
Both of them knew that the other person had something they wanted.
This is probably a different kind of two-way rush.
It’s the last day, please vote for me. I have a friend’s wedding in these two days, and I have to go to the hospital tomorrow. Try to get two chapters
