Chapter 687: Training newcomers, Berlin wins
At the beginning.
Shanxia Academy only trained Jiangdong artists in acting.
The teaching location was set up in the Jiangdong Entertainment Building.
Later, as the company grew bigger, Shanxia Academy gradually opened up external enrollment channels, so it moved out of the original Jiangdong Building.
Another house was rented in a park in Yaojiayuan, Pingfang Town, near the suburbs of Beijing.
When Zhang Ruolan first came to Shanxia Academy, she felt the artistic atmosphere coming to her face.
The lower floor is the coffee shop opened by Zhou Gongzi.
The main tone is marble cement color, and the decoration style is simple.
On her first day here, she met the three gold film queens and the Xichang factory flower drinking coffee here.
There is also a flower shop next to it, and the upstairs is the main body of Shanxia Academy.
Professional performance teaching venues, rehearsal classrooms and Shanxia Theater.
The top stage equipment, the top acting teachers, and the most conspicuous of course is Zhou Yutang hanging in the corridor.
Mr. Zhou had no business sense and was not in charge of things. It was Zhou Shufang who suggested hanging an artistic photo of Zhou Yutang in his early years on the second floor.
No need to say more.
This photo alone is enough to endorse.
There were thousands of celebrities who wanted to enter the Shanxia School through various channels.
In the end, only dozens of them were admitted.
Zhang Ruolan had a somewhat sacred and awe-inspiring mentality. She saw the introductions of Mr. Zhou, Zhang Songwen, Liu Tianchi and others beside her.
Liu Tianchi was responsible for teaching her acting skills.
According to incomplete statistics, he had taught popular young actresses such as Tianxian, Tian Gongzhu, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Li Xin, and Zhao Liying, and his resume was legendary.
Zhang Ruolan checked the information online and suddenly remembered that this teacher from the Central Academy of Drama was her childhood shadow.
In the classic TV series "Serious Case Group 6", Teacher Liu played a perverted and poisonous woman.
Because she was jealous of her husband's love for her daughter, she poisoned her own flesh and blood.
But she didn't think she did anything wrong.
But in real life, when she saw Teacher Liu Tianchi, she felt that he had a kind face, which made Zhang Ruolan even more impressed by the magic of his acting skills.
Just like Zhou Yutang in "Big Shot", he was so elegant and gentle in real life, but in the movie, he turned into a tyrannical and willful chaebol son.
That arrogant madness makes people feel creepy when they think about it.
Liu Tianchi did not teach Zhang Ruolan immediately.
She just sat quietly beside her.
There were two other students in the class at this time, both of them looked young girls.
One of them looked familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere before.
I racked my brains to think about it.
Then I remembered that this was the daughter of Guo Tao, an honest man who had a miserable end in Zhou Yutang's "Big Shot".
There are rumors that Governor Zhou brought her to the play because of his old relationship with her godmother Xu Jinglei.
"Gengxi, the clarity of your lines is problematic. The audience feels the whole plot through your lines. The pronunciation must be clear and the rhythm needs to be practiced."
"Teacher Liu, what about me?"
"Xiaozhuang, you have a lot of room for improvement."
"."
Liu Tianchi's teaching is worthy of the high tuition fees of Shanxia School.
Zhuang Dafei is basically a newcomer, and Li Gengxi has a certain foundation.
She pointed out the problems they have at this stage and how to correct them based on their own characteristics.
It's not a very profound method, but it's simple and easy to use.
For most people, there is no shortcut to acting.
One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.
It's nothing more than learning the performance professional system, mastering the methods, and presenting a complete role to the audience.
Of course, some geniuses with really evil talents may also learn without a teacher.
Liu Tianchi's assistant was rehearsing with Zhuang Dafei and Li Gengxi. Liu Tianchi turned around and taught Zhang Ruolan: "Xiao Zhang, have you ever been in love?"
"Not yet"
Zhang Ruolan's face flushed instantly, and she shook her head a little embarrassed.
The beautiful big eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, shining brightly under the ceiling light.
"Performing should liberate your nature. Don't be embarrassed, let go."
Liu Tianchi asked with a smile: "There is a kissing scene in this play. Can you accept it?"
"This should be no problem."
Zhang Ruolan's face flushed, and she nodded calmly.
As soon as she got the script, she consulted Zhang Yuxi, her only connection in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Yuxi, her best friend, gave a very unrestrained answer: If it was Zhou Yutang, let alone kissing scenes, bed scenes would not be impossible...
"So what do you think of this role after reading the script?"
"It seems like there is a sense of fate, I am destined to be the bride of the gods..."
Zhang Ruolan told Liu Tianchi about her character biography seriously.
"It's generally fine, we can take our time with the details."
"Teacher Liu, how can I improve my acting skills in a short period of time?"
"I have a suggestion, if you want to play this role well, it's best to be committed."
"Dedicated?" Zhang Ruolan tilted her head.
"Just don't think about acting, because your acting skills are not enough to support the entire role, you can only get into the role."
Liu Tianchi taught with actions in his hands: "Only when you are moved can you resonate with the audience and truly move the audience."
"Imagine that the story is your life, you are Chi Eun-tak, and you are experiencing what she has experienced. In the background of such a story, you should have your own personality, motivation, and goals."
I was in class when I suddenly heard another teaching assistant running in from outside.
It was said that Zhou Yutang was here, Liu Tianchi quickly came out to greet him.
"Yu Tang, you are so busy, why are you here?"
"I happened to be passing by, come and see how she is doing?" Zhou Yutang asked with a chuckle.
"A very smart little girl. At first I was teaching Li Gengxi and Zhuang Dafei, and she was listening attentively next to me."
Liu Tianchi said directly: "There is a bit of a problem with my acting skills, but my understanding is good, and it suits the role quite well. When will the filming start?"
"We have to wait until next month."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Liu."
Liu Tianchi smiled and said: "You're welcome, this is what I do."
The acting class was still going on. Zhou Yutang simply asked about the progress without interrupting.
We did enough confidentiality work in the early stage, just to prevent Zhang Ruonan from being exposed to excessive exposure and praise from the outside world.
Liu Tianchi is right. The heroine in "The Lonely and Brilliant God" actually has a temperament that matches Zhang Ruonan's to some extent.
Just as I was walking downstairs, the female clerk in the coffee shop ran over to ask for an autograph. She saw Ni Ni hand over her cell phone: "Boss, Xu Jinglei is here to pick up Li Gengxi."
"oh?"
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and stopped: "Do you have a problem with me?"
"She said she would be here soon and wanted to treat you to a meal."
"Forget about eating, let's have a cup of coffee."
Mr. Zhou's cafe was very stylishly decorated. Zhou Yutang sat for a while, replied to messages, and ordered some cakes and other girls' favorite snacks.
Xu Jinglei wore a waist-cinched chiffon shirt today and paired it with a pair of high-waisted black trousers.
In addition to highlighting her waist, she lengthened her leg lines and put on fresh light makeup. In addition to the mature lady air, she also brought out the meaning of a strong woman.
Now the big stars in the entertainment industry in the past ten years have completed their transformation.
In addition to acting, Teacher Fan devotes a lot of energy to her beauty career.
Zhao Yanzi changed her job to female stock god.
Sister Li Binbin runs Hesong Company and is doing well.
Xu Jinglei is a woman who has a clear plan for her career path. She started working behind the scenes as early as ten years ago.
He directed his second film and won the Silver Shell Award for Best Director at the San Sebastian International Film Festival.
Although this film festival does not receive as much attention as the Oscars and its artistic quality is not as good as the three major European film festivals, it is also an influential international A-level film festival.
Later "Du Lala's Promotion", "Close Enemy", and "There's a Place Only We Know" also delivered qualified box office results.
The industry calls her the most commercially valuable female director besides Xue Xiaolu.
"Some time ago, I took Gengxi to see the Thieves. This girl kept asking you how to pull off that magic trick in the rain."
The goddess of literature and art who is usually praised by others is not ignorant of the ways of the world. When we meet her, she will express her sincere praise:
"Yu Tang, congratulations to "The Thieves 2" for breaking the box office record. There is hope for it to go even higher."
“That’s where the potential ends.”
"I heard that the heroine of your new play is also taking classes at Teacher Liu?"
Hearing her topic change so quickly, Zhou Yutang knew it well and nodded with a smile: "Newcomers need to be well trained."
The two chatted while eating.
He remembered that Liu Tianxian told him that the red bean cup cheese was good, but he thought it was too sweet, so he liked the matcha roll instead.
Xu Cainv also ate in small bites, quite elegantly: "Yu Tang, that's it. I heard that the project you collaborated with Lemon had a character in it."
I really came here for my goddaughter.
It was a bit surprising, Zhou Yutang originally thought it was for the role of Zhou Ye.
He had read the script of "Mr. Nice", and there was indeed a rebellious girl character in it.
Due to the lack of maternal love and the lack of control from her father in her native family, the girl needs to be strong and independent.
But rebellion is just her protective color. In fact, the little girl is not bad in nature.
"Let me ask you first."
Jiang Xuezhen was following up on this project, and Zhou Yutang made a phone call to find out the situation.
That drama has to wait for Zhang Songwen's schedule, and a lot of people are watching, including Xu Jinglei's favorite female lead.
Nowadays, the salary of the entire entertainment industry has increased significantly, and many seniors in the industry have begun to pave the way for their second generation to enter the industry.
"Sister Xiaoou, that's going to be troublesome."
"Why are you being polite to my sister?"
"Let's make an appointment for dinner when we go back to Magic City."
After a few chats with chief producer Xu Xiaoou, the role was decided.
Now that Governor Zhou has spoken, there is no one with a stronger relationship than him.
Seeing him talking and laughing, Xu Jinglei pursed her lips, crossed her legs, her eyes moved, and her tone was grateful for the test:
"Thank you, Yu Tang. Do you have time to have dinner together tonight?"
"Forget about eating, we have an appointment tonight."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "Gengxi is quite spiritual."
Being able to make her way out of the Beijing circle and become one of the four great actresses, Xu Cainv is also a talented person.
I usually promote Jiangdong movies and TV series on social media, and during New Years and holidays, I also don’t miss out on various specialties from the capital.
In recent years, a lot of effort has been put into leading the trumpet player Li Gengxi.
In terms of her image as a goddaughter, she is not very beautiful, but she is pure and cute, and her acting skills are pretty good among her peers.
Basically, the next generation of Beijing Circle Princess has been booked.
Moreover, Zhou Yutang had an intuition.
This girl looks innocent and cute on the outside, but actually has a restless and rebellious air.
"Produced by Jiangdong Entertainment, directed by Lin Yufen, and starring Zhu Yilong, Zhao Liying, Jiang Xin, Meng Ziyi, etc., it will be broadcast on Mango Channel and Suzhou Channel on December 15th!"
After Mango Channel and Jiangsu Province Channel jointly announced this news, all the major TV stations in the country couldn't help but tremble.
I haven't come out from the shadow of "Nirvana in Fire" yet.
Jiangsu Province Channel and Magic City Tomato Channel have finished broadcasting the first round, but Beijing Satellite TV is following up with 1.5 rounds.
At this time, he has taken over from the two big brothers and has taken over the position of the first brother in the TV station's ratings.
The rights to play the second and third rounds have also been sold long ago and are extremely popular.
This is a tacit agreement reached by Zhou Yutang and many domestic TV stations.
The big brothers in the front row ate meat, and the second- and third-tier TV stations in the back finally followed suit and took a sip of broth.
However.
Jiangzuo Meilang just left, and Hua Qiangu is here.
Zhou Yutang’s guaranteed word-of-mouth reputation for his high-quality products + a lineup of traffic stars + plus Mango Channel’s retaliatory and crazy marketing.
Who dares to underestimate it?
This year, Mango Channel collaborated with Mingjie Company to produce "Longing for Life", which opened up a new track for lifestyle variety shows and made a lot of money.
However, there was a problem with the layout of TV series. After several costume dramas were aired in the middle of the year, they failed to achieve the expected results.
It's been more than a month since "Nirvana in Fire" was released, and I'm so suppressed that I can't even lift my head.
Mango Channel’s final share of costume dramas this year is “A Thousand Bones of Flowers.”
At this moment, they are gearing up to prepare for a big fight.
The ferocious momentum made all major TV stations in China, except for Jiangsu Province, feel numb.
"Notify me and make way for the beginning of the new year."
"The post-production of "Qing Yu Nian 3" seems to be almost completed. Zhou Yutang still has an annual drama king in his hands."
"What? There will be "The Pretender" co-produced by Noon Sun and Koto in November?!"
"How about giving it a try? Wealth can be gained through danger."
Internal meetings were held at major television stations.
Just kidding, what are you touching?
Everyone bought the TV series with tens of millions of real money. How much interest does it involve in Taiwan?
If it were to be overrun by Jiangdong's TV series at the same time, the ratings would fail to reach the station's predetermined target.
So who will bear this responsibility in the end?
When doing things within the system, you don’t seek merit, but you seek no faults.
The top executives of various TV stations are like mirrors in their hearts.
As far as the current domestic TV drama market is concerned, no one is qualified to beat Zhou Yutang.
during this time.
There was an undercurrent on the major TV stations. Cai Yinong raised the corner of her mouth and never came down.
Hugo took off in all directions.
The movie he has participated in has become a hit, "Nirvana in Fire" is also incredibly popular, and there is also a spy drama produced by Noon Sunshine and Jiangdong that will be aired soon.
He alone brought tremendous wealth to the people of Tang Dynasty, together with the first sister Liu Shishi who was also capable of fighting.
This year, Tangren Film and Television hopes to quadruple its profits based on last year.
"It will be completed at the beginning of the month."
At the company, Zhou Yutang listened to Jiang Xueyuan’s report on the progress of the crew of "Ode to Joy" and asked: "When will "The Princess' Promotion" be launched?"
"In December, Station B will launch."
"Let's promote the promotion of these two dramas simultaneously."
The director of the Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Monkey has been decided.
Lu Yitao, who has served as the executive director of the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years, successfully took up the position.
The first thing he did after taking office was to send an invitation letter to Zhou Yutang.
"Pushed."
Zhou Yutang had just finished his first meeting with Yu Feihong and the creative team, and said to Ni Ni calmly: "Is the Lu Han drama about to be finished?"
"It looks like it will take another two weeks to wrap up."
"Push him down to Director Lu's team."
"I see."
Ni Ni nodded.
Director Lu is newly in charge, and under his leadership, "I Want to Go to the Spring Festival Gala" and its special program "Direct to the Spring Festival Gala" will be resumed.
Generally speaking.
Programs for the Spring Festival Gala must go through layers of review.
But he promised Zhou Yutang unimaginable privileges:
"As long as you nod, you can get the green light and go directly to the final round."
Speaking of which, it is also very courageous.
At the end of October, the 2015 League of Legends finals is here as scheduled.
The players of EDG and LGD probably haven’t reached home yet.
As the last hope of the LPL, the Jiangdong team has stood at the end.
First, they defeated KT in the quarter-finals, and then defeated KOO 3:1 in the semi-finals. In the finals, it was still their old rival SKT.
This time, the South Korean giant SKT, after the meritorious top laner Ohmu went to North America to make money, the new super top laner Marin is even more powerful.
He destroyed South Korea's LCK league and is almost recognized as the number one top laner in the world.
The final held at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin can be said to be a fight between gods.
Marin penetrated Jiangdong on the road twice, and the scene was anxious for a while.
However, in the end, the overall strength of the Jiangdong team was dominant. After five hard-fought games, they defeated SKT 3:2 and won the Summoner's Trophy.
"Congratulations to Team Kodong, and congratulations to LPL."
Zhou Yutang rarely remembered his own account, logged in and posted on Weibo.
He was quite busy during this period and did not go to watch the game in person, but since the semi-finals, Jiangdong has not missed a game.
The one who accompanied him to watch the semi-finals was Liu Shishi.
After watching the fashion show at Paris Fashion Week, Yijie didn't stay at home for a few days after watching the competition. She went to shoot a commercial endorsement notice and was very busy.
The one who accompanied him to watch the finals was Liu Tianxian.
Actually, Liu Yifei is not very good at digital products. She can use a mobile phone for four or five years.
She usually plays games, which are simple games like Angry Birds and Rhythm Master.
But she still enjoys watching the game with Zhou Yutang, and occasionally asks a few childish questions.
Until the last team members won the trophy, she was more excited than Zhou Yutang,
"Xiao Zhou, your team is so popular."
After having fun, leaning on Zhou Yutang's shoulder, Liu Yifei was excited to read the comments of netizens on Weibo.
Originally, she also wanted to post a Weibo, but she felt that it was too deliberate, and she might be scolded by black fans for riding on the popularity, so she simply hid and watched the melons.
At this time, major forums on the Internet had completely exploded.
All major platforms and media outlets were vying to report and congratulate Jiangdong Team on its win.
# Zhou Yutang posted a Weibo post to celebrate #
# Jiangdong champion #
# Jiangdong top laner cried #
# UZI got a quad kill in the finals #
Topics related to Jiangdong Team's win quickly occupied the Weibo hot search list.
There were a full twenty hot searches, lined up in a row.
The terrifying traffic almost paralyzed the Weibo server.
This was a national carnival for LPL viewers.
"How are the ratings?"
The short-lived excitement was calmed down after going to the fairyland together, and Zhou Yutang was more concerned about the benefits that this carnival could bring.
Games are also an important layout of Jiangdong's entertainment industry, especially the game League of Legends, which is definitely the current social media topic center.
When Jiangdong won the trophy, countless people's Moments were instantly flooded.
In fact, many people don't play games at all, but the atmosphere is here, and not posting seems unsociable.
Zhou Yutang was refreshed after hearing the ratings reported by the head of Jiangdong's data department.
"According to the statistics of one independent viewer per IP address, the ratings of the World Championship abroad exceeded 40 million, and the highest number of simultaneous online viewers in the finals exceeded 15.2 million, which was a surge of more than 4.2 million compared to last year's 11 million, breaking the record of all e-sports events so far."
"The domestic number of people has not been counted yet. Domestic live broadcast platforms will not show the real number of people. Most of them are popularity and heat, which is really difficult to count."
"Boss, we are going to take off now."
The head of Jiangdong's data department was very excited and reported a series of statistical data like a string of cannonballs.
At the same time, he also admired Zhou Yutang's foresight.
The layout of the entire entertainment-derived game industry began a few years ago. Now this wave of overwhelming traffic can be called a phenomenon.
"Mr. Zhou, there are already brand sponsors who want to discuss cooperation."
The general manager of the club was a member of the Tianchao Table Tennis Team. He retired due to injury and wanted to switch to table tennis coaching.
Later, he was attracted by Jiangdong's high-salary recruitment and adopted strict military management. This time he was able to win the championship, except for the talent and hard work of the players.
The entire behind-the-scenes training team he led also made great contributions.
Zhou Yutang usually does not ask about the club's operations, but he knows clearly who is working hard and who is slacking off.
"Don't worry about the sponsorship, have fun abroad for a few days."
Zhou Yutang is never stingy when it comes to his meritorious officials.
In addition to the prize money of the World Finals, there will be additional bonuses at the club level.
——This is also the biggest difference between the Jiangdong team and other domestic teams.
The routine of professional operation is mature, and how much money can be earned is directly linked to the final performance of the team.
The heat of the Jiangdong team's championship is still fermenting.
Xiao Ma Ge is also working hard.
As long as you log in to the game within the limited time and play a game, you can get a game skin given by Tencent for free.
There is a chance to draw expensive skins, and there is also a chance to draw skins that no one will use. It all depends on luck, and the final right of interpretation is in Tencent.
In any case, even Tencent is rarely generous, and LPL fans are completely boiling.
On that day, even the national server was squeezed and crashed.
Chen Rui and Shu Li also had good news.
This time, B station live broadcasted the entire world game and earned enough traffic.
He also planned to independently operate a B station exclusive team.
Another big winner was Dong Ge who won without doing anything.
He just happily announced in the circle of friends that Milk Tea was pregnant, and he wanted to boost the economy and keep up with the population.
Dong Ge was very business-minded and asked Jingdong to organize a wave of pre-heating discount activities in time to compete with Alibaba's Double Eleven Singles' Day.
