Chapter 519 A dazzling supporting role, with different ideas but no common interests
at this time.
The ratings pattern of domestic first-line satellite TV has basically been determined.
Magic City, Suzhou, and Mango are also known as the Royal Three. They have in-depth cooperation with Jiangdong. They have a variety of popular variety shows that have always occupied the top three in the domestic TV ratings list.
Now they are overtaken by these families.
It is conceivable that this drama has a great influence and can definitely be called a hit.
In addition to Huang Xiaoming and Fan Binbin, Luo Jialiang, the actor who plays Qin Hui in the play, also received high praise for his acting skills.
TVB's first three-part series Zhuang Shidi, Xu Jiali in "The Man of Heaven and Earth", Zhuo Shangwen in "The Heroes of Heaven and Earth", and Yip Rongtian in "Genesis".
This guy looks elegant and elegant, and he can play the role of a villain more freely than anyone else.
The traitorous minister Qin Hui in "Jingzhong Yue Fei" made many people hate him with itch.
But the most discussed one on the Internet is Gao Chong, played by Zhou Yutang. Because he appeared late, many viewers can say that they saw through it.
"Why hasn't Zhou Yutang come out yet?"
As a graduate student of Hangzhou Electric Power University who is about to graduate, Ye Renchao is also full of expectations.
When he was a child, there were not as many recreational activities as there are now.
Apart from cartoons, romance novels such as the Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Yue Yue are his favorites.
Although he is about to enter society and face life, the man will be a teenager until his death. He still yearns for the feeling of traveling on the battlefield, and he often reads historical time travel novels at some point.
I accidentally saw an advertisement for the TV series "Jing Zhong Yue Fei" and was immediately attracted by it, and started the drama chasing mode.
Huang Xiaoming and Fan Binbin both performed very well, but he was more looking forward to Gao Chong, the most powerful general in the Yue Family Army. This was the most powerful general in the Southern Song Dynasty!
His girlfriend was not interested in these fights and killings. She only heard that Zhou Yutang had a guest appearance in the drama, and she joined the crowd of fans.
The official Weibo account of the TV series also made a special announcement on Weibo, and Gao Chong finally appeared in the thirty-sixth episode.
"coming!"
Ye Renchao's eyes lit up behind his lenses.
Zhou Yutang's appearance is quite handsome.
Between the rustling trees.
A horse and a cart meandering along.
Zhou Yutang was riding a green-maned horse, holding a gold-plated tiger-head spear measuring one foot and one foot three in his palm.
The tiger's mouth swallows the blade, which is made of platinum and is extremely sharp.
He was covered with armor and his face was covered with a visor. Although his face could not be seen clearly, his deep eyes exuded a cold and sharp light.
"So handsome! Are you trying to rob the Yue family's army of food?"
Not caring that the eyes of his girlfriend beside him were filled with love, Ye Renchao focused entirely on the TV.
Niu Gao, the living treasure of the Yue Family Army, made a provocation, but was defeated by Gao Chong with a single shot.
Then Zheng Huai, Zhang Kui and others joined forces. With the combined strength of the three of them, they were no match for Gao Chong.
One person and one gun are invincible.
Gao Chong only robbed the Yue Family Army of food to help the refugees in troubled times, but did not kill the soldiers of the Yue Family Army.
"Liu Shishi and Zhou Yutang are a good match."
Ye Renchao's girlfriend has been a staunch Tang poetry CP party since "Those Years".
Seeing Gao Chong's heartfelt pity for Mr. Yang in the play, I couldn't help but smile like an aunt.
His wife Yang is blind and cannot see, but she is kind-hearted and gentle as water.
Gao Chong is majestic and has a heroic spirit from a rough background. The two are a perfect match.
"Liu Shishi's acting skills are good."
Ye Renchao usually doesn't chase stars, but he was dragged into watching a few dramas by his girlfriend.
He felt that Liu Shishi's acting skills had improved a lot in this drama, and she brought the pitiful and lovable blind girl Ms. Yang to life.
As the plot continues to develop, Gao Chong and Yue Fei do not know each other before they fight, and then join the Yue Family Army.
"Brother Gao, wait until we come back from this victory and continue drinking."
"good!"
Gao Chong and Yue Fei held each other's fists.
There is always such sympathy between heroes.
Jin Wushu led his army southward and headed straight for Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. The two armies fought at Niutoushan.
This is a big battle.
This is also the last brilliance of the character Gao Chong.
He raised his spear and leaped on his horse, destroying the enemy's formation with all his strength, like the sky breaking through the clouds, killing the golden soldiers and causing chaos.
After beheading several generals of the Jin army, Gao Chong killed Jin Wushu again, throwing away his armor.
"It's so fierce! It feels so good!"
Ye Renchao was so excited that he wished he could go into battle with his own gun.
After seeing Gao Chong chasing Jin Wushu, accidentally walking into an ambush, and bravely picking up eleven iron pulleys weighing a thousand kilograms, he stood up from the sofa and even felt that the blood in his body was boiling. stand up.
Unfortunately, the horse stumbled and knocked this unparalleled warrior off his horse.
Before he died, the light in Gao Chong's eyes gradually dimmed, and he just muttered Yang's name.
Seeing this, the girlfriend next to me burst into tears.
"What's there to cry about?"
Ye Renchao felt weird when his girlfriend cried because of another man, but for the sake of future sexual happiness, he still handed his girlfriend a tissue.
Compared to a great hero like Yue Fei who has the world in mind, Gao Chong is just a man from the Yang family.
He has extraordinary martial arts skills, and what he wants is not glory and wealth. What he wants most is to ensure that the Yang family can live safely in troubled times.
It's a pity that the loyalty can be compared with the sun and the moon, and the pulley will die before the body is broken.
Yue Fei, who rushed to the scene, was a step too late, holding Gao Chong's body that refused to close his eyes and neighing with grief and anger.
Seeing this, Ye Renchao burst into tears on the spot and could not calm down for a long time.
If a man is determined to die, who will try to mend the cracks in the sky?
"I'll go, it's too fierce!"
"Zhou Yutang is so awesome!"
"Zhou Yutang is truly a god of ancient costumes."
"Zhou Yutang is so handsome that he has no friends, but his end is a bit miserable!"
"I'll be thinking about Shi Shi until I die. Zhou Yutang, you are so good at it. You can make Shi Shi cry."
"Zhou Yutang and Huang Xiaoming have an inexplicable connection with each other."
After the episode in which Gao Chong tragically died in battle was aired, the highest ratings that night directly exceeded three, reaching the highest peak since the entire show was aired.
Completely dominate the same period, without any rivals.
Zhou Yutang looked through the comments on the Internet.
After a little reflection on my performance, I am generally satisfied with it, but there are just a few areas where I could have done better.
There aren't many high-profile scenes in the play, but there are highlight moments, when he rushes into battle bravely and invincibly, and when he whispers before his death, this character is considered to be standing firm.
The day after this episode aired, the Internet search lists and Weibo hot searches were all filled with entries related to Gao Chong's death in battle.
It was originally a guest appearance, but it was unexpectedly popular. Zhou Yutang himself was a little surprised.
The official account of the TV series is also very good at this. They adjusted the promotion plan in time, released Zhou Yutang's handsome stills and filming behind-the-scenes in the drama, and interacted with Liu Shishi in the drama, which once again increased the popularity of the TV series.
However, some netizens complained: "Zhou Yutang's role in this drama is too small. Who can watch this little bit of Hantang? Before the show started, the crew was still using him to hype him up. I strongly protested!"
Many netizens seconded and agreed.
With just a few episodes, people saw it and thought we looked down upon it.
As for Zhou Yutang's role, if we shoot a few more episodes, we might as well make a high-favorite biography.
The promotion plan for this drama was made by the two producers, Enlight and Xinli Media. Director Zheng Xiaolong took over the responsibility from Lao Wang and Cao Huayi and joked:
"Zhou Yutang is also the artistic director and script consultant of this play. He uses Gao Chong as the perspective to express the social environment of that era. Everyone likes Yutang's performance very much, and I also like it very much. In addition to being a screenwriter and director, he himself is A very talented actor, I think he should take on more roles.”
Compared with the original "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", there is the golden combination of Zhou Yutang + Zheng Xiaolong, which has been improved in all aspects such as script and service, and the overall quality of this drama has been improved a lot.
Guangguang Laowang is also very comfortable.
After the summer release of "Fuji Detective" suffered a lot of losses, this "Jing Yue Fei" finally caused a small increase in Guangguang's stock price.
In terms of comprehensive ratings, drama reputation, online views and social media discussions, it surpassed other dramas of the same period, including "The Legend of Mulan", "Everyday Happiness", and "New Luo Shen".
Although an additional investment was made during the filming process of this drama, and the final total investment reached close to 160 million, the TV station sold the package for 150 million in the first round, and together with the network broadcast rights, it has already achieved profitability.
Next, there will be profits from the subsequent copyrights, and the TV series will continue to make a lot of money in the later period.
Both Zhou Yutang and Guangguang Laowang were full of food. Cao Huayi from Xinli Media got on the bus for the first time and tasted the sweetness. He immediately became interested in upgrading their friendship.
He organized games several times and invited him warmly, with the purpose of drawing Zhou Yutang into his Beijing camp, but he was met with disappointment.
If it weren't for the sake of Mr. Guangguang, Zhou Yutang would not have taken Cao Huayi to play with him at all.
"Yu Tang is like this."
Wang Changtian comforted the injured Lao Cao: "He doesn't like this kind of communication very much."
"Old Wang, I think there seems to be a misunderstanding between him and Director Chen."
Some time ago, the media often used Zhou Yutang to drag Chen Kaige down. Chen Kaige recited a poem on the spot and said: "Although this boy is like me, he still lacks the popularity."
"Movies are art, and heroes are not judged by their box office."
Zhou Yutang has not responded so far, and the matter has gradually fallen into disuse. However, insiders know that the relationship between the two parties is not good.
Cao Huayi hasn't given up yet: "Can you get in touch and make an appointment for us to have a chat together? Maybe there are many projects where there is room for win-win cooperation."
"How can I have such a great reputation?"
Wang Changtian smiled and declined: "Someone has already approached Yu Tang about the projects you mentioned, and he is not interested at all."
In his heart, he smiled.
Twenty years ago, Kaige Chen reached his peak in Cannes.
But the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and talented people emerge from generation to generation.
The answer in the current version is Zhou Yutang.
Compared to Zhou Yutang, who was at the height of his powers, Chen Kaige was undoubtedly a bit bleak. Several consecutive movies failed to live up to expectations, and the halo surrounding him became increasingly weaker.
But now Poet Chen is bound to Xinli Media.
The news has not spread yet, but the two parties have reached a basic agreement, including Chen Kaige's "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" and a major project adapted from "Kukai: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty". Xinli Media is the producer.
"With you as the middleman, at least I can look better."
"Then let me ask you."
Wang Changtian laughed.
"Different paths are not enough."
Ni Ni heard Zhou Yutang talking to Lao Wang from Guangguang. When it came to Brother Chen Kai, his boss only left this sentence.
She finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked: "Boss, you seem to have some objections to Director Chen?"
"I don't have a problem with him, I just don't know him well."
When Zhou Yutang originally asked Chen Hong to star in "Search", he discussed it with Brother Chen Kai and even had a quarrel.
Poet Chen insisted on adding a scene to his wife, and felt that the marriage issues of middle-aged men and women should be emphasized to make the theme of the movie more profound.
Of course, he was ignored by Zhou Yutang.
How could Brother Chen Kai have any room to intervene in the projects he was in charge of?
Later, when he became more and more popular, Brother Chen Kai was in decline, and the entertainment industry could not help but flatter him and underestimate him.
Poet Chen is a bit arrogant at heart. He always has the airs of an old man, and occasionally he will give advice when he gets ahead.
The two of them didn't have a close friendship to begin with, so Zhou Yutang certainly wouldn't flatter him.
"Director Chen's business is booming now."
Seeing that Ni Ni seemed interested in this, Zhou Yutang smiled and told her the inside story.
"Every time Brother Chen Kai makes a blockbuster movie, he has to do a lot of construction work."
"As for the film "Kukai Samana", there was news as early as the time of "The Orphan of Zhao". Later, a Tang Dynasty was built in Xiangyang, which caused quite a stir."
"From film and television to real estate, from acquiring land to building a new film and television city, it involves a wide range of things, the cost is unimaginable, and there is a lot of profit margin."
"So, no matter how the movie fares at the box office in the end, he will be able to make a steady profit once the project is launched."
Ni Ni is very perceptive and figured it out in just a moment, and she couldn't help but feel emotional.
The water in this circle is really too deep.
After the film was completed, it was put to Vision Media to do special effects, and Zhou Yutang became even busier.
In Zeng Li's teahouse, I had an in-depth discussion with several screenwriting teachers about the script of "Chi Ling".
The main reason is that this teahouse has a quiet environment, which is more suitable for talking about things.
Also, due to the broadcast of TV series these days, Tang Poetry CP has become a bit popular.
Liu Yifei, who had just finished filming "Super Body", said she didn't care, but in fact she was a little unhappy.
Zhou Yutang spent a lot of time with her, spent a lot of effort cultivating immortality, and finally coaxed her into good health.
Liu Yifei was filming in Bay Province some time ago, and there were a lot of reports there. Next, there will be announcements about her filming in Bay Province. Zhou Yutang will also shoot an advertisement with Zhang Manyu in early August.
Time flies by quickly, and it’s late July in a blink of an eye.
The smoke of the summer movie is gradually dissipating. With the support of its peers, "Slaying the Wolf 2" has become a hit at the box office, and finally settled at 715 million.
With the popularity of the movie, the suit thug created by Zhou Yutang for Zhang Jing has also aroused widespread discussion on the Internet.
In previous action scenes, the audience has experienced the chic and elegant character of the Kung Fu Emperor, the witty and interesting character of Jackie Chan's Furniture City God of War, and even the muscular man of Universe Dan.
Zhou Yutang's "The Lonely Agent" told the audience that one can look so handsome while fighting in a suit, which is simply the ultimate visual enjoyment.
Zhang Jing in "Slay the Wolf 2" is definitely not as good as Zhou Yutang in terms of appearance, but this time the character of the thug warden in a suit is also very eye-catching.
A supporting villain, to a certain extent, suppressed the aura of Wu Jing and Tony Jia.
Zhang Jing, who was dressed in a crisp suit and had an impressive appearance, was even more fierce when fighting.
After running through the entire summer season, Zhang Jing's thug in a suit has become popular.
The company also received various business announcements from Zhang Jing.
Endorsements, remuneration, etc. are all rising.
In addition to Zhang Jing, someone posted a discussion thread on the Internet about the achievements of director Xiangjiang.
Many viewers suddenly discovered it at this time.
It turns out that Chen Musheng is already the top director in Hong Kong based on his mainland box office performance.
It's just because he is relatively low-key and never publishes press releases to promote things.
Looking at Chen Musheng's box office performance, "The Lonely Agent", which he collaborated with Zhou Yutang, had a box office of 528 million in the mainland. It was a phenomenon-level hit movie of the year at that time.
"Anti-Drug" has a box office of 392 million, which is also a rare masterpiece.
In addition, the current film "Slaying the Wolf 2" has a box office of 715 million, making it the king of summer movies.
Three movies, with a box office performance of over 1.5 billion!
Wu Baige was not only killed off his horse.
He also steadily suppressed Chen Kexing.
Many viewers joked.
There is only one Director Chen in the whole of Hong Kong.
That is director Chen Musheng who collaborated with Zhou Yutang.
"Congratulations, Director Chen."
At the closing banquet held by Yinghuang in the Mainland, Zhou Yutang sent congratulations to Chen Musheng.
"Mr. Zhou, I can't do it without you."
Chen Musheng, who looked elegant, could not help but feel a little excited at this time, so he stepped forward and hugged each other cordially.
"Slaying the Wolf 2" is a hit at the box office. Tonight is Yinghuang's celebration banquet in the capital, and Boss Yang flew over from Xiangjiang.
There will be another celebration banquet in Xiangjiang later.
No wonder he was so excited.
Yinghuang Group has launched several major film and television projects worth RMB 500 million, and fortunately, "Slaying the Wolf 2" has come to redeem it.
As the main producer of movies, Yinghuang Group's stock price has been rising continuously in recent days. Zhou Yutang was talking to Chen Musheng when Wang Jinghua came over with someone.
"Director Chen, congratulations on the box office success."
"Haha, Mr. Wang, you're welcome."
When Chen Musheng saw the visitor, he nodded and exchanged a few words. Knowing that he had something to talk to Zhou Yutang, he greeted him and turned around to socialize.
"Director Zhou."
"Sister Hua, what a coincidence, you are here too."
Zhou Yutang turned to say hello to Wang Jinghua, and glanced at the person next to her: "It's Zijian, he's quite handsome."
"Thank you, it's far worse than you."
Dong Zijian is quite polite, a bit like a shy high school boy.
"Zijian will join Nortel this year, and he will be your junior brother from now on. If you have the opportunity, you can teach him more."
Wang Jinghua is famous for being a good talker, and Zhou Yutang understood it immediately.
The day after tomorrow is the premiere of Dong Zijian's "Youth Party", and I hope I can go there to support it.
"Nini, how is my schedule the day after tomorrow?"
"Boss, the schedule is full."
Ni Ni, wearing a professional skirt, said in Zhou Yutang's ear.
Wang Jinghua glanced at it several times.
In her opinion, Ni Ni is no inferior to those little beauties in the circle.
For such a beautiful woman with the potential to become a celebrity, only Zhou Yutang could do such a wasteful thing as a secretary.
"The one in the afternoon will be pushed away first."
Wang Jinghua even opened her mouth. She still had to give her some face. She just showed up at the premiere, which would only take an hour or two at most.
"Yu Tang, thank you so much."
"It's a small matter, no matter what, Zijian is still my junior brother."
The two exchanged polite greetings and exchanged business blows. Sister Hua's tongue was astonishing, and Zhou Yutang had also mastered the art of talking to people and talking to ghosts.
Just praising Dong Zijian for his future made Wang Jing smile.
After the wedding banquet, Zhou Yutang and Boss Yang had a few more drinks and went back to Tsing Yi Beauty's house in the evening.
Zeng Li was wearing a silk nightgown and had already applied a facial mask. Seeing him come in, she took the initiative to get up and make him a glass of honey water.
"Why are you drinking again?"
"It's rare to meet Boss Yang."
Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead, hugged the soft body of the beauty in green, and told her about the wedding banquet tonight.
During the dinner, I talked with Boss Yang about "Cold War 2", which is the sequel to last year's "Cold War", which was hailed as the light of Hong Kong. The second part has escalated the struggle.
to be honest.
"Chill" is a movie that looks like a cliché about police and gangsters, but it actually talks about things that have never been filmed in Hong Kong movies. The plot is a bit exciting, and Zhou Yutang is very interested in it.
The key point is the return of 97, and the whole story is about two huge entities, playing games with each other behind the scenes.
Just look at the security bureau boss played by Andy Lau and you will know that Liu Tianwang’s name in the play is Lu Minghua.
The land of the mainland, the Ming of understanding, the Hua of China.
Behind this project are Anle Jiangzhihao and Yinghuang Yang Shoucheng.
The protagonists are still Aaron Kwok and Leung Ka-fai. Boss Yang personally went out to invite Zhou Yutang to guest star as the spokesperson of the capital's forces in "Cold War 2".
Zhou Yutang thought for a while and agreed.
This favor is being given away now, but it will definitely be harvested elsewhere in the future.
After entering the era of capital, the entire entertainment industry has seen a sharp rise in remuneration.
Leaving aside Zhou Yutang’s ascension.
For example, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi were both on the Forbes celebrity list this year.
This top-notch actress can easily earn tens of millions a year.
Again, some celebrities can earn millions a year without any difficulty.
The cultural quality of celebrities in the entertainment industry is generally not high, and there are many brainless people who openly show off their wealth on online platforms.
Many netizens can't believe that they can really make so much money?
Facts have proved that as long as you stand on the wind, even a pig can fly.
Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that entering the entertainment industry is like picking up money from a sack. The previous generation began to use their own resources to pave the way for the next generation.
This is the case with Wang Jinghua.
Her and Wulang Baguagun's son was born at the end of others. He just debuted in a movie arranged by Sister Hua.
Wang Jinghua is indeed the king of connections in the industry. The premiere of "Youth School" gathered first- and second-tier celebrities in the industry.
Not only Zhou Yutang, but Chen Daoming, Xia Yu, Gao Qunshu, Song Jia, Li Binbin, etc. all came. Even Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng and others also came to support.
Watching Li Binbin interact with Dong Zijian on stage, he even kissed him on the cheek in public and said openly: "He is my younger brother who grew up with my face in my hands. I wish him a great box office success."
The stage was lively and the audience was in an uproar.
Zhou Yutang, Ning Hao and others gathered together to chat, raising their eyebrows and smiling, somewhat teasingly: "Director Ning, you guys are so good at playing, why don't you call me?"
Just two days ago, Ning Hao, Xu Guangtou, Huang Bo and others went to the bar late at night, accompanied by a group of young and beautiful girls.
Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles in an instant. A few people were photographed by entertainment reporters when they came out, and they made entertainment news headlines the next day.
"Xu Zheng's team's bureau."
Ning Hao scratched his head in embarrassment: "I didn't do anything. I will always suffer when I go back."
"Ha ha!"
Huang Bo grinned happily: "Old Ning, you can't do this, use more wolfberry, a man's gas station."
Baldy Xu's face was much thicker than that of Ning Hao. He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "There are just a few girls from China National Theater and Beijing Dance Theatre. Yu Tang, I will take you with me next time."
"hehe."
Zhou Yutang pulled Ning Hao and asked, "How is your notebook going?"
"about there."
Speaking of this, Ning Hao excitedly told Zhou Yutang the story.
Yue Xiaojun divorced at the beginning of the year, and Ning Hao took his buddy on a casual trip.
I drove from the capital to Beihai. I looked at the beautiful scenery and looked for girls along the way, and I really got an inspiration, which is "Blissful Heart".
Ning Hao pointed his finger at Xu Zheng and Huang Bo: "This time we will do it together. They will be the actors. As for the funds, Boss Zhou, you have to support me."
"money is not a problem."
Zhou Yutang nodded nonchalantly: "A divorced honest man Geng Hao, and a arrogant Hao Yi. How to distribute these roles?"
Bald Xu immediately said: "I play Geng Hao. This role is very interesting."
"Then Hao Yi will let Bo'er come on."
Zhou Yutang looked at the two people for a while, then suddenly said: "Let's change, Brother Bo will play Geng Hao, and Xu Zheng will play Hao Yi."
"ah?"
Bald Xu was slightly stunned: "Why?"
"Because I feel you are shameless."
