Chapter 523: Zhou Chu eliminates three evils, and the governor kills the scumbag
"The top ten most serious shooting cases, the cold-faced killer Ninja Liu!"
"The black and white ultimate pursuit orders, avoid going overseas and committing another massacre!"
"Elegy of a killer, wandering around the world, being in jail, and still not forgetting to donate to charity!"
Zhou Yutang flipped through the special reports on local gangsters in Bay Province.
The traditional Chinese characters don't seem difficult. It's about a local community member named Liu Huanrong in Bay Province. He is cruel and cold-blooded and has committed many murders.
But most of the people killed were members of the underworld.
It just so happens that this person is also enthusiastic about charity.
When he was on the run, he escaped to a kindergarten. Seeing the dilapidated environment, he learned that it was because he had no money to repair it. He simply ran to rob a casino and donated the money to the kindergarten. The director of the kindergarten uses it as a decoration fund.
Later, after he was arrested and imprisoned, he did not forget to do charity. Many people even interceded for him, thinking that he had contributed to society and his crime would not lead to death.
Of course, Skynet is great.
In the end, he was punished by law and sentenced to death, but this strange man who killed the rich and gave to the poor still caused a sensation.
Art is detached from reality, but it is derived from reality.
During the golden period of Hong Kong movies, many movies were adapted from reality.
In Wu Baige's film "The Bloody Heroes", Zhou Runfa's character is based on this strange man, which can be regarded as a classic.
Zhou Yutang repeatedly looked at the life of this cold-faced killer, and an idea flashed in his mind. He took the laptop, opened the document, and tapped the keyboard with dexterous fingers.
In the business car, the other two assistants were happily discussing the excitement at the airport just now, and were a little excited about the itinerary and Bay Province snacks.
Ni Ni turned her head and glanced, her voice softened subconsciously, and reminded Xiao Meng and others to keep their voices down.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was quiet and beautiful, with only Ni Ni's eyes occasionally passing over the serious profile of the man next to her.
When he arrived at the Grand Hotel where he was staying, Ni Ni turned sideways to remind Zhou Yutang and accidentally glanced at the bold title on the Word document:
""Eliminating the Three Pests in Zhou Chu"!"
The nice fragrance on her body brought Zhou Yutang back to reality, and he skillfully clicked on the document to save it.
Li An's call also came in at this time, and the two chatted for a while. Zhou Yutang looked up and saw the flower mountain rockery at the door of the hotel, a century-old golden dragon.
It is indeed gorgeous and luxurious.
It is said that there is a secret escape tunnel under the hotel for the principal's exclusive use. I don't know whether it is true or not.
"Welcome, Director Zhou."
There are already staff members from the Executive Committee waiting at the hotel to take charge of the docking work.
Listening to the staff chatting, I realized that there are quite a few female fans here in Bay Province, and they have booked more than 60 rooms in Yuanshan, which can be said to be quite crazy.
This is the gold content of Asia's top male gods.
The dreams of more than a billion girls and young women are no joke.
After Ni Ni finished communicating with the staff there, he explained security matters to his team here.
Zhou Yutang's fans are relatively sane, but there are some fanatical fans of celebrities in the circle who can do a lot of outrageous things.
It may be difficult for normal people to imagine that someone would spend tens of millions to buy a house next to their idol's residence, and then frantically ring the doorbell in the middle of the night to deliver soup that they made to him.
There are also illegitimate meals, and they will even sneak into the hotel in advance to install invisible cameras to take secret photos according to the celebrity's schedule.
Ni Ni held the professional equipment conscientiously and began to inspect every corner of the room.
At this time, Zhou Yutang replied to a few messages, turned on the computer again, and continued to write down the inspiration he had just had.
Ni Ni made a cup of honey water for Zhou Yutang and placed it next to his table.
The drive from the airport to the hotel only takes about 20 minutes, which is obviously not enough to complete the entire script. I just wrote a summary of the story.
Seeing Zhou Yutang stop typing on the keyboard, Ni Ni asked: "Boss, what script did you just write?"
After taking a sip of the honey water handed over by Ni Ni, Zhou Yutang asked, "Do you remember how to eliminate three evils in Zhou Chu?"
"I learned this story in my junior high school textbook."
Ni Ni nodded: "It's about the story of Zhou Chu, the son of Zhou Li, the governor of Poyang in the Eastern Wu Dynasty."
"Do you even know about Zhou Li?"
Zhou Yutang paused while drinking water, feeling a little surprised.
Zhou bream broke off his hair to earn money from Cao Xiu. This is a story from the Three Kingdoms. Very few girls understand this.
"I just looked it up online."
Ni Ni raised the phone in his hand and smiled calmly.
This is also the content of junior high school textbooks.
When Zhou Chu was young, he ran rampant in the countryside. He had a rude temper and would draw his sword at any disagreement. He was regarded as a scourge by others. He was one of the three pests along with the dragon in the river and the white-fronted tiger on the mountain.
Later, someone came up with a way to fight poison with poison. He persuaded Zhou Chu to go up the mountain to kill the tiger and go down to the river to kill the dragon. In this way, one peach would kill three people, hoping that the three evils would die together.
But he didn't expect that Zhou Chu was so brave that he went up the mountain to kill tigers and entered the water to attack dragons. When he came back after eliminating the other two scourges, he saw that the people mistakenly thought he was dead and celebrated. Instead of retaliating, he woke up and changed his mind. He reformed and became a famous minister.
"This book can be regarded as a modern version of Zhou Chu's elimination of three evils."
With nothing to do, Zhou Yutang chatted with Ni Ni about the news he saw in the car.
After reading the synopsis of the story, Ni Ni suddenly said: "It feels quite interesting. Boss, will you film this in your next film?"
"My movie "Chi Ling" is in preparation, and I will shoot it for the national teacher when the time comes."
Zhou Yutang sat back on the sofa and said in a leisurely manner.
His next play is "Chi Ling", and he has been preparing for it for several years.
Directors from the Jiangdong department now have projects on hand. If this project is left to Lao Mouzi to run it, it should be very successful.
The shortcoming of Lao Mouzi is the script, but the quality of Zhou Chu's book can still be guaranteed.
After Lao Mouzi finished the "Return", it was time for him to try this "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".
Ni Ni felt a little magical in her heart as she listened to Zhou Yutang's talk.
From the airport to the hotel, in just one afternoon, she witnessed the birth of a very good script.
There was still some time before the evening reception, so the two sat and talked about work matters for a while.
"Boss, LeTV Pictures has sent you an invitation to the premiere of "Tiny Times 2"."
"Is Zhang Zhao dizzy?"
"Maybe."
Ni Ni pursed her lips and smiled and said: "We also invite you to come over for Huang Xiaoming's "A Romantic Affair", "Guild Wars" and "Mader No. 2"."
"Let Sister Shuang go to Lin Chaoxian's "Guild Fight" for me. I have to go and support Huang Xiaoming's movie when the time comes."
Zhou Yutang made his decision without much hesitation.
As a popular person in domestic entertainment, he is invited to many movie premieres, hoping to generate some buzz and popularity.
Unless he is a close friend, Zhou Yutang cannot be present at every premiere, otherwise he will not have to do anything every day.
Asking Li Shuang to attend on his behalf was a huge honor.
While talking, Ni Ni very sensitively noticed that Zhou Yutang was sending a message. The smile on his face disappeared and his expression gradually became serious.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"Go and do a background check and find out where Qiu Ze from the Bay Province comes from."
Zhou Yutang lowered his head and read the news. Ni Ni didn't ask any questions and quickly got up and started doing things.
He also just received the inside information.
Qiu Ze, a popular young boy from Bay Province, actually has thoughts about Liu Yifei.
Some time ago, he first met Liu Yifei while attending an event in Bay Province. At that time, he exchanged a few words with Miss Liu because of work.
Later, in a friend's nightclub, Qiu Ze boasted that he would capture Liu Tianxian.
Luo Xiaozhu sent a message to Zhou Yutang during the wine party.
Someone from the team around Miss Liu also reported that this guy had an event in Beijing and asked Liu Yifei to go to a bar, but the messages were all sent to his work phone.
Ni Ni finished the back-up work and was stunned when she understood the whole thing.
Who in the circle doesn't know that Liu Tianxian is Zhou Yutang's man?
There are still people who dare to stroke the tiger's beard.
Zhou Yutang looked at Qiu Ze's detailed back tone with a calm expression, but there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
This guy is definitely not as good as Jay Chou and Luo Zhixiang, and even his celebrity status is far inferior to the New Generation Heavenly Banquet promoted by Bay Province Capital.
He is a well-known scumbag in this circle.
She is in the same boat as Li Yufeng and Lai Yayan, and she has been having a bit of an affair with Xu Weimi recently.
Zhou Yutang remembered another thing.
Qiu Ze seemed to have collaborated with Tang Yan on the movie "Three Daughters of the Xia Family" and also pursued Tang Yan. At that time, Tang Yan was vaguely ambiguous with Zhou Yutang and didn't pay much attention to him.
It can only be said that there are differences between scumbags.
Tang Yan often played silly roles in the past, but she herself is not that silly.
Apart from this, Zhou Yutang and Qiu Ze have no direct intersection.
The people he associates with are big guys like Han Sanping and Wang Changtian, and the celebrities he has friendships with are Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao.
Like the New Generation Heavenly Banquet that is highly recommended by Bay Province, if you meet them at some cocktail parties, you have to line up and come up to say hello respectfully. A fool like Qiu Ze is not even qualified to come up and offer a toast.
I just don't know what got him so crazy that he dared to set his sights on Liu Tianxian.
"Boss, what should I do?"
"Is it almost time for the reception?"
Zhou Yutang did not answer directly, but just glanced at the Tissot watch he was wearing: "Let's go, don't make people wait too long."
While he was walking, he made a few phone calls. Ni Ni followed Zhou Yutang, listening to him chatting with others in a calm tone, but in his heart, he mourned for Qiu Ze for a few seconds and whispered quietly:
"How dare he?"
"How dare you?"
Qiu Ze's manager Sun Jiaqi is from Taiwan Province. Even if the Taiwanese girl is angry, her voice and tone don't sound so serious.
"Sister Jiaqi, I just drank too much and started joking among friends."
Qiu Ze thought he was cool and shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "What's all the fuss about, there is a variety show in the Magic City, I think the price is too low, I can raise it higher. I will be joining the cast of a new drama soon. When that TV drama is released, it might become a small hit by then."
"Are you still thinking about appearing on a variety show?"
Sun Jiaqi laughed angrily. She never expected that Qiu Ze would cause trouble for her just because she was absent from that business event.
“Why aren’t mainlanders making money?”
Qiu Ze laughed: "Sister Jiaqi, please don't be so serious. At most, I won't go to nightclubs this month and just keep running my schedule."
"Qiu Ze, do you know that Liu Yifei is Zhou Yutang's person?"
"Sister Jiaqi."
Judging from the agent's serious expression that something was wrong, Qiu Ze's smile gradually stiffened: "Ying... it shouldn't matter. I just saw the scandal between Zhou Yutang and other female stars not long ago."
"If it doesn't matter! He will praise her as the Golden Horse Best Actress!?"
Sun Jiaqi finally couldn't hold back and yelled: "Playing with women in nightclubs every day, have your brains been shot out?"
"I don't know, and nothing happened. At worst, I'll apologize to him."
"What's the use of your apology?"
Sun Jiaqi quickly received several calls in succession.
First, on the crew side, the originally finalized roles were changed.
Modu TV also called to notify him, saying that after careful consideration, he felt that Qiu Ze was not suitable for the variety show there.
The series of phone calls made Sun Jiaqi anxious.
Immediately afterwards, the company's public relations team also received a press release from Qiu Ze. For a fun-loving scumbag like him, the paparazzi have a lot of dirty information.
After searching on the Internet, I found that there are quite a few negative materials about myself, just hanging there, and they are quite popular.
No matter how stupid he was, he realized the seriousness of the matter at this time.
Although the weather was very hot, Qiu Ze was already sweating from behind: "Sister Jiaqi, how could this happen?"
There were no film resources to begin with, only some second- and third-tier TV series. The roles that we had finally negotiated were gone, and the variety shows that could make money were gone.
Then it's just waiting to get moldy.
Exposure is crucial for celebrities.
Especially for male celebrities like him who follow the idol style, there are many meal replacements in the circle.
Sun Jiaqi made several calls, and finally looked at the little wolfdog she was very optimistic about with complicated eyes.
Before he even picked it up, he plummeted to the bottom of the valley, offending the gods in the sky. He didn't even know how he was crushed to death.
The so-called celebrities, who seem to be popular among fans and have unlimited fame, are actually just pawns of capital.
Looking at Qiu Ze's originally handsome face, it was distorted by fear.
Sun Jiaqi sighed heavily: "Your future is gone, do you know that?"
"Director Zhou is really young and promising."
Li Pingbin took the initiative to toast a glass of wine to the young man in front of him. Zhou Yutang looked calm and toasted politely: "I'm going to trouble Mr. Li for the filming tomorrow."
"If anything, it's an honor for me to work with Director Zhou. Director Hou has been busy on the set, otherwise he would definitely come over and have a good chat with you."
Photographer Li Pingbin wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a gray beard, long artistic hair, and a friendly smile.
"The film "Nie Yinniang" directed by Hou?"
"Yes, this play is Director Hou's hard work."
"Tang Chuanqiu, a good subject, well worth looking forward to."
Zhou Yutang clinked glasses with Li Pingbin.
The Golden Horse image advertisement he will shoot tomorrow in collaboration with Zhang Manyu will be shot by this person.
Li Pingbin is the official photographer of the great Bay Area director Hou Xiaoxian, and he has profound skills.
Wang Jiawei's "In the Mood for Love" and Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" were both written by this person.
Zhou Yutang has always been very polite to those who have the ability.
The two of them had quite a lot to talk about movies and art.
Zhang Manyu seemed to have something to deal with and did not show up at the reception. However, Li An took the initiative to come over and thank him: "Director Zhou, thank you for your hard work."
"This is a good opportunity to promote cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places."
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "I am also very happy to be the Golden Horse Promotional Ambassador together with Ms. Zhang."
The three of them were talking when they suddenly heard a sweet female voice not far away calling softly: "Director Zhou?"
Turning around, he saw a mixed-race beauty wearing a black waist-cinching skirt and exquisite makeup. Zhou Yutang raised her eyebrows and said hello: "TIFFANY, what a coincidence."
This TIFFANY is not Yoona's teammate Pani, but the mixed-race beauty Xu Weimi whom Zhou Yutang met last time in Bay Province. Her English name is TIFFANY.
"What a coincidence."
Xu Weimi's face showed just the right amount of surprise: "I was with my friends just now. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Women are indeed born actors.
Tonight's small cocktail party is just to give Zhou Yutang a break, and many local celebrities from the Bay Province have been invited to liven up the atmosphere.
The first time he showed up at the reception.
It was the target of everyone's attention. How could Xu Weimi not see it.
Zhou Yutang's eyes faintly glanced not far away.
Suddenly, I noticed that there seemed to be a few of Xu Weimi's best friends looking over here, seeming to be whispering with surprise and envy.
"Director Zhou, we still have a few friends over there, so I won't disturb you."
Li An and Li Pingbin were also here, and it would undoubtedly be a bit unsightly to stay here at this time. They smiled at Zhou Yutang and left immediately.
They had long heard of the success of the young man and his high spirits, and now it seems that his reputation is indeed well-deserved.
As a beautiful woman from the Bay Area who is known for her good looks, Xu Weimi has never lacked suitors.
She is having a break-up with Tian Tian, the popular fried chicken guy at Tianting Banquet, and there were rumors of an affair with Qiu Ze, a rising youngster not long ago.
"Director Zhou, I was a little presumptuous just now, but I'm so happy that I won't disturb you and talk to Director Li and others about business, right?"
Xu Weimi showed a shy smile and smoothed her hair around her ears.
"No, the matter has almost been discussed."
Zhou Yutang raised the wine glass towards her, with a slight curve on the corner of his mouth: "I don't have many familiar friends here. Cheers to our meeting."
"cheers!"
After a few glasses of red wine, Xu Weimi's cheeks turned red and she suddenly asked: "Director Zhou, can I ask you some acting questions?"
"Why don't we find a quiet place to talk?"
"OK."
I understand your pretense of reserve, and you understand my evil intentions.
Xu Weimi held the window sill and leaned forward.
In the high-rise presidential suite of the Grand Hotel, soothing music is playing outside, interspersed with sounds that are more beautiful than the beautiful musical notes.
"Manyu, please relax later, smile brighter, and take a rest."
If someone had told Zhou Yutang before that Zhang Manyu, a goddess who takes awards like eating and drinking, would be ungrateful when filming such a promotional advertisement, he would not believe it even to death.
But reality is so magical, and things just happened.
During a short break, Zhou Yutang heard the possible reasons from Ni Ni.
Zhang Manyu just broke up with her German architect boyfriend of five years, and now the Hong Kong media has exploded.
No wonder.
After all, Zhang Manyu is also a woman, and she will also have emotional fluctuations after a breakup.
This made Zhou Yutang couldn't help but think of himself.
It seems that because of Qiu Ze's incident, he was a little influenced by his emotions and overreacted.
"Ok! Yu Tang, get a little closer to Manyu and hold her waist. This is the feeling you want."
Li Pingbin's excited voice also indicated that the filming was finally a complete success.
After all, the God of Man is the God of Man.
After adjusting her emotional state, shooting work of this level was not difficult at all for her.
Advertisement shooting in the circle is usually arranged in the afternoon.
Because artists may be swollen in the morning and their skin condition is not good.
After finishing styling and putting on makeup, we started shooting at 2:30 in the afternoon and continued shooting until 7 in the evening.
Until now, no one has had dinner.
The lunch boxes had already been delivered, but the two celebrities, Zhou Yutang and Zhang Manyu, were still working. Of course, the staff at the filming site couldn't eat first.
This is also an unspoken rule in the workplace. When the filming was over, Zhang Manyu took the initiative to apologize to Zhou Yutang: "I'm sorry, today is my problem."
"Sister Manyu, I am also very nervous about working with you."
Zhou Yutang chuckled softly: "I haven't eaten until now, and I'm a little hungry. Can I have a late-night snack later?"
"OK."
Zhang Manyu readily agreed: "I will arrange it."
Those who could succeed in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle of that era had high emotional intelligence, and Zhang Manyu was no exception.
While she was talking to Zhou Yutang, the assistant beside her had already booked a hotel, not only Zhou Yutang, but also late-night snacks for the staff at the filming site.
The staff at the scene suddenly cheered.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, I have seen many monsters and monsters.
Compared with some third-tier stars who still show off and act like celebrities when working, Zhang Manyu's empathetic respect will undoubtedly benefit them a lot.
"Sister Manyu is really popular."
"Not as good as you."
Zhang Manyu watched another female makeup artist gather up the courage to take a photo with Zhou Yutang and then leave. She teased: "There are many little girls taking photos with you."
She has been paying attention to Zhou Yutang since today's shooting.
In fact, this was not the first time she had face-to-face communication with Zhou Yutang.
At the Golden Horse Awards that year, she was invited to be the presenter, and she personally awarded the best film to Zhou Yutang's "The Lonely Agent".
At the beginning, Zhou Yutang was as sharp and sharp as an unsheathed sword.
Now that we meet again, the aura on his body is much calmer and more restrained than before, but more majestic and impressive.
No wonder some exaggerated Hong Kong media now call him the Emperor of Domestic Entertainment. You must know that this nickname is even more famous than the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong who were so popular in the past.
When we arrived at the hotel, the ordinary staff members on the shooting scene were together. Zhou Yutang, Zhang Manyu, Li Pingbin and others were dining in the private room.
They were chatting about industry prospects and Golden Horse nominations, and the atmosphere was quite lively. Zhou Yutang suddenly asked: "Sister Manyu, are you interested in returning to acting?"
"Clam?"
Zhang Manyu was a little surprised and waved his hand: "I have already passed away, Yu Tang, please don't joke."
"No kidding, it feels like it's a pity that Sister Manyu has passed away like this."
Zhou Yutang's words were echoed throughout the table.
He retired from the film industry during his peak period and became the only one in the world, which made countless movie fans sigh with regret.
"Ha ha."
Probably because Zhou Yutang's tone was more sincere, Zhang Manyu also smiled and gave his answer:
"Actually, I just like acting, not being a star. Sometimes when I see a good script, I am moved, but when I think about filming, I need to face a lot of off-screen things, which is a bit overwhelming."
"There are always different stages in life. I'm pretty good now. I sing and release albums. Although no one listens to them, I just want to be happy."
