Chapter 569: Industry-wide ban, shortlisted for Cannes
"Teacher Mao Pang, how is the manuscript going?"
"It's quick, it's quick, I can get it done if I stay up all night."
As a glorious full-time author and a great author of Qidian Chinese website, Maopang’s life is actually quite boring.
Not as cool as some readers might imagine.
Just type some words on the keyboard, and then make an appointment with a few friends to go to the club to explore together.
Touch your feet, help a girl who has lost her footing, and find inspiration along the way.
nonexistent.
Because the online novel needs to be updated every day, I spend most of my time at home working on coding.
The remaining time is spent reading novels, catching up on dramas, and binge-watching variety shows, or using the spare time to watch girl group girls for comfort.
However, "Celebrating More Than Years" became a hit out of the entertainment industry, which brought him unimaginable benefits.
The film and television adaptation rights of several other novels have been multiplied several times, and they were packaged and acquired by Jiangdong Entertainment. The money earned has been several times higher than that of "Qing Yu Nian".
At least it's enough to make Mao Pang, an otaku author with no bad habits, not have to worry about life in this life.
Now he is not only the great author of Qidian, but also has half a foot in the entertainment industry. He is currently a specially hired script consultant for Jiangdong Entertainment, and he also has a hefty salary.
Mao Pang himself was just a bit lazy at home. Zhou Yutang gave him the ecstasy soup, and he was immediately moved. In addition, he was curious about the process of film and television adaptation of his own novel, so he took over the job of working as a screenwriter.
Only when you came here did you know you had been cheated.
I met a lot of celebrities, signed autographs and took photos, and everyone called me "Mao Fat Teacher" when I met them. It felt very cool.
But not long after starting the production, the crew ran into trouble.
Zhou Yutang was very dissatisfied with the results of filming according to the original script and asked for a new plan.
Jiang Xuezhen handed over the task to the screenwriter team. In the past two days, everyone stayed up late and worked overtime, and Mao Pang was no exception. Even Red Bull worked on it.
"Made, Zhou Gou, if you are fooled next time, I will be the dog."
Although he complained in his heart, Mao Pang still worked conscientiously.
According to Zhou Yutang's ideas, he communicated and discussed with Wang Yun and revised the script.
After learning more about the inside story, Maopang admired Zhou Yutang's strict control over details.
Just such an adjustment would cost the crew at least several million more, and even the schedules of the leading actors would have to be coordinated.
But it is undeniable that it is this attitude of putting the audience's drama experience first that has enabled Jiangdong Entertainment to repeatedly create hit film and television dramas.
"Thank you for your hard work these past two days, Teacher Mao Fatty."
"Haha, it should be."
The revised script turned out pretty good, at least in Zhou Yutang's opinion.
The focus is on advancing the main line of the story, shaping the group portraits, strategic layout, and the growth of the protagonist Fan Xian.
Memes and jokes are just plot spices.
Looking at Mao Pang with obvious dark circles under his eyes, Zhou Yutang felt a little sorry: "Teacher Mao Pang, I have tickets for the front row of SNSD's tour concert here. After this, you can relax and go backstage. ”
"Really?"
Mao Pang's eyes widened, and his tone was full of expectation: "Then can I go backstage and take a photo with Kim Taeyeon?"
"Are you a Taeyeon fan?"
"OK."
"No problem at all."
Zhou Yutang agreed directly, which was to say hello to Yoona.
"Mr. Zhou, you are so kind."
Mao Pang touched Zhou Yutang's hand and shook it.
He is hard-hitting online and elegant and easy-going offline, nothing more than that.
After emergency revisions and adjustments to the script, the filming went smoothly.
However, while the crew was filming, something went wrong again.
The root of the matter is still the person who jumped out to speak at the Academy Awards a few days ago.
He said something he shouldn't have said, and was attacked by netizens. The subsequent turmoil even inexplicably involved Liu Shishi.
At that time, Fala Chen played a supporting role on the set of "The Detective", and she got along well with Liu Shishi.
Then, as a landlord, she took Shi Shi to various places to eat, drink and have fun in Xiangjiang. At that time, the couple happened to be at a friend's party, so she took photos of the party.
Liu Shishi has a good personality and is friendly to others. It is not surprising that he makes friends every time he joins the group.
In front of unfamiliar outsiders, he was a little shy. He was not familiar with Tian Yingni and his wife, so he didn't say a few words.
Liu Shishi, who was still filming on the set of "The Tuner", was shot while lying down this time. Unexpectedly, this photo was used by someone to make a fuss.
"The clown really takes himself seriously."
Zhou Yutang had just finished a busy day of shooting. After learning about this, he immediately called Ni Ni:
"Nini, go take care of it. I have a meeting with Director Kong."
"OK."
Ni Ni asked: "Boss, what are you going to do?"
"what to do?"
There was a cold arc at the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth: "Just follow his local customs!"
"I see."
Ni Ni didn't ask any more questions, took Zhou Yutang's mobile phone and started working. First, she called Huo Wenxi:
"Sister Mani, is it not convenient for you to talk over there?"
"Hey, it's Nini. She's in a meeting. What's wrong?"
"My boss has something to tell you."
"Wait for me a moment."
Huo Wenxi immediately made a pause gesture and came out of the conference room, with a smile automatically appearing on his face: "Nini, you can talk now."
After chatting for a few words, the smile on that delicate face gradually disappeared and was replaced by sullenness: "You told Ah Tang to leave this matter to me."
"Sister Mani, this time it involves Shi Shi. The boss is very angry. Jiangdong will issue a statement soon."
"Don't worry, I will give him a satisfactory explanation."
Huo Wenxi was slightly startled, and his face gradually became solemn.
After a brief communication, I hung up the phone.
Walking into the conference room again, everyone who was still chatting and laughing in whispers noticed that the strong woman's face was ashen, and she suddenly became silent. The temperature around her seemed to have suddenly dropped to below zero.
"The meeting is over!"
Huo Wenxi threw away the documents in his hand, and after everyone dispersed, he made a few more phone calls.
After understanding the whole story, he was so angry that he even threw the phone in his hand.
Fortunately it wasn't a Samsung, so it didn't explode.
The assistant beside him didn't dare to speak. He picked up the phone and handed it back silently.
Nicole has worked with Huo Wenxi for many years and has witnessed this strong woman climb to her current position step by step.
All matters, big and small, were handled with ease. Even if something unexpected happened, she would remain calm and calm. She had never seen Sister Mani as angry as she is now.
Assistant Nicole hurriedly checked the information and made a detailed report.
Huo Wenxi gritted his silver teeth and his face became increasingly ugly.
Immediately, he dialed Boss Yang’s number.
It was only the next day that Jiangdong Entertainment officially released the news.
More than a dozen domestic entertainment film and television companies have also issued joint statements, including the giant in Xiangjiang.
The entertainment industry was shocked.
Everyone was stunned.
Zhou Yutang's attack was like thunder, cutting off that guy's way of domestic entertainment.
This influence is too great.
"Hahahaha, it's so satisfying. It's so satisfying. I checked several projects and kicked them out!"
"Explore again!"
"Yinghuang's legal department seems to have taken it to court and asked it to bear the project losses."
"Du Gou is so good to die."
"The dog is barking, why isn't the dog barking now?"
"It doesn't matter, I have more than 600,000 fans on Instagram, and I'm a super star."
"Zhou Cao, Zhou Yutang is so cruel, he has been completely banned."
"If you want to have fun at home, I suggest you read more of the four classics on the entertainment industry."
"This couple is really brainless, and they dare to follow the rhythm of the first sister. Don't you know that she is Zhou Yutang's woman?"
Netizens were overjoyed, as if they had won a big victory.
But Zhou Yutang really didn't take it to heart. He just comforted Liu Shishi a little and devoted most of his energy to the crew filming.
Ni Ni was handling the entire matter.
When Ni Ni took Zhou Yutang's work mobile phone to contact all parties, she truly experienced a wonderful feeling that cannot be described in words.
It is widely rumored that the Governor of Jiangdong can turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain.
At this time, he was smiling and hugging a little girl with a bun.
Those fleshy little hands held snacks and looked at him with bright eyes.
The chubby little face is so cute when it smiles.
Even Zhou Yutang was cute.
No one can resist such an adorable human cub.
"Uncle, do you want to eat White Rabbit toffee?"
"I won't eat it. Sugar will cause tooth decay."
"Uncle, I don't have cavities, you see." The little girl tilted her head and smiled slyly, revealing a pair of white millet teeth.
"What did you call me?" Zhou Yutang reacted.
"Uncle."
The little girl tilted her head, her big black eyes showing clarity and innocence.
"Call me brother."
The little girl's mother was watching from the side and quickly corrected her.
"It's okay, just call me uncle. I'm old enough to be an uncle too."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed, inexplicably thinking of the little koi.
Back then, when she was a young man in his prime, she would call him uncle when she came up. That was called breaking the defense.
Now he is more than twenty years older than the little girl, so he is indeed an uncle.
Today's scene was filmed at Wang Qinian's home.
Throughout the first season of Qing Yu Nian, apart from Mr. Xiao Fan, Wang Qinian is definitely one of the audience's favorite characters.
In the second season, he still has a lot of scenes, and the setting of Wang Qinian's family background is also added.
Including Mrs. Wang, played by Gao Lu, and Wang Qinian's youngest daughter.
For this role, many well-connected people wanted to fill it in. In the end, it was Lin Liang who auditioned nationwide and Zhou Yutang decided on the girl.
"Mr. Zhou, get ready to start filming."
"Okay, little girl, don't be nervous later, you know?"
"Um!"
After Zhou Yutang finished psychologically building the young actor, he asked the makeup team to come up and check the makeup.
After the scene was cleaned up and the scene notes were recorded, the filming officially started.
After Fan Xian returned to Beijing, he temporarily stayed at Wang Qinian's house. In the morning, the little girl opened her innocent eyes and came over to tell him to get up before dinner and have breakfast.
"Is your father Wang Qinian?"
"Um."
The little girl opened her big black eyes and nodded.
The little fat man was holding an egg in his hand and eating it, with some egg white on his lips.
"I am your father's good friend, you can just call me uncle."
"Uncle, you eat eggs."
The little girl Liwu smiled slightly and handed over the egg she was holding in her other hand.
"The porridge is ready."
"The porridge is ready. Mom wants you to eat."
This is a very simple scene, but the little girl has little acting experience.
I laughed several times during this period, which is normal. No one would criticize such a cutie.
Zhou Yutang couldn't help but think about Rua's chubby face. Compared with the bleak atmosphere when she first turned on the phone, the air was full of joy.
"Master Xiao Fan, I am Qinian's first wife."
"Don't call me sir. We have a life-long friendship with Lao Wang. Logically speaking, I should call you sister-in-law."
Wang Qinian himself is not good-looking, he looks like an old elm tree, but he has a pretty little girl, who must have inherited Mrs. Wang's genes.
Regardless of her age, Gao Lu is as beautiful as a royal sister.
He graduated from a Chinese opera major and has no problem with his basic acting skills.
Before joining the cast of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", she had acted in many dramas. The most famous one was Xue Zhili in the family drama "Home to the Nth Power".
This time I played Mrs. Wang, and I also managed the heat very well.
"Wang Qinian went out early in the morning to do errands for you, so we didn't have to wait for him. It was because he didn't know what he was doing, so he told me that he was here in the morning."
"My own porridge, I'm neglecting you."
"Don't say that, it's me who is troubling Madam."
Zhou Yutang took the porridge handed over by Gao Lu with both hands. The little girl was too lively and stared at the porridge in Zhou Yutang's bowl with her big black eyes: "There is meat!"
There are also details here.
Mrs. Wang is diligent and thrifty in housekeeping, and has her own way of entertaining guests. Her bowl is just clear porridge, while the guests' bowls have more minced meat.
The three of them sat opposite each other and drank porridge, the little girl acted cute from time to time, and Mrs. Wang taught her daughter etiquette with a straight face.
Suddenly, Mrs. Wang gossiped: "I heard that your Excellency has dozens of relationships in Kyoto."
"."
The egg in Zhou Yutang's hand fell.
While maintaining the Machiavellian plot and characters, appropriate warm daily routines can also soothe the mood.
The uproarous ban incident, with the end of the official media, was the last nail in his coffin.
No one cares about the life or death of such an insignificant third-tier star.
However, the Cannes Film Festival officially announced the list of finalists for this year's main competition unit at a media conference.
Zhang Yimou's "The Return" will debut at Cannes as a non-competition screening.
A total of 19 films were shortlisted for the main competition, and Zhou Yutang's "Red Ling" was among them.
All of a sudden.
The news was like a hurricane passing through, and the domestic media exploded.
The headlines of various entertainment portals were directly targeted, and the media were also competing to report on it.
Zhou Yutang was on the set, closed filming and refused interviews, but still became the absolute center of attention.
The movie song "Chi Ling", which became a hit at IU's concert last month, is still in the top ten of major music charts.
Zhou Yutang did not over-market, but he could not satisfy the audience's curiosity.
Being shortlisted for the main competition unit means that you are qualified to challenge for the highest honor.
In recent years, Chinese films have performed well in major film festivals, but it has been 21 years since someone conquered Cannes.
Poet Chen that year was very talented.
Now Zhou Yutang is younger than him, but more energetic.
