Chapter 774 Lao Mouzi’s new project, Seoul Spring
As the top three directors in the national service.
Of course Lao Mouzi had full confidence in himself.
It was only after the failure of the "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" project that countless efforts were devoted to it that it encountered a flood of doubts.
Then he decisively separated from Zhang Dapao and signed the studio to Jiangdong Entertainment.
Lao Mouzi has also reviewed the market many times and summed up the failure experience.
Take a serious look at yourself and keep pace with the times to grasp the audience's aesthetic taste.
A true master always has the heart of a disciple.
Zhang Yimou deeply agrees with this.
He did not live by his past achievements, but was constantly groping for further opportunities.
He even had in-depth exchanges with Zhou Yutang many times with the mentality of learning from his experience.
Then I was deeply amazed.
Zhou Yutang's vision, as well as the methods and methods of managing film and television projects, are unrivaled in Lao Mouzi's heart.
Since joining the Kodong banner, he has successively produced "Hunting" and "Zhou Chu Abates Three Evils", which made him famous and wealthy, and restored his prestige as a great director.
Lao Mouzi gradually felt relieved.
He can't grasp the market, he just needs to grasp Zhou Yutang.
"The Great Wall" is a major co-production between the two countries and a key project of China Film Group. LeTV has bet on its luck and failed to meet the expectations of the world.
The responsibility was placed in the hands of director Chen Da. During the filming, La Pei Kang organized groups of domestic first-line directors to communicate and discuss.
Zhou Yutang and Lao Mouzi both went to see it, and after returning they came to the same conclusion: this project might be scrapped.
Today I had a chat with Ningying Wang Dong Qian.
Listening to him betting big on big projects, Lao Mouzi also had similar worries in his heart.
However, the relationship is not that important. People are full of passion. If you want to become bigger and stronger, it is not easy to pour cold water on others.
After saying a lot of polite words, when getting along with Zhou Yutang in private, it is inevitable to sigh.
For a small studio like Ningying, if a big project it has invested in fails, it is likely to have serious consequences.
After chatting all the way, when they were about to arrive at the company, Zhou Yutang suddenly remembered and asked: "Director Zhang, has the post-production of Sister Mo's drama been completed?"
"I was about to tell you about this, why don't we take a look together?"
When talking about his daughter's project, Lao Mouzi smiled and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, Lu Yang is here today, I'll call him together."
After sending a message to Lu Yang, Zhou Yutang and Lao Mouzi went straight to the screening room on the second floor of Vision Media.
They say that a photographer who doesn’t want to be a director is not a good photographer.
At that time, Lao Mouzi worked as a photographer for Lao Tian and Chen Shi, but later he became a photographer on his own.
His eldest daughter, Zhang Mo, has worked behind the scenes with Lao Mouzi for several years, including photography, editing, and assistant director.
This year, he finally directed his first feature film "Twenty-Eight Years Old".
Screening room.
Zhang Mo was talking to Li Yao, and there was laughter from time to time.
While the two were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, and then Zhang Yimou, Zhou Yutang, and Lu Yang filed in.
"Dad, Mr. Zhou, Director Lu." Zhang Mo was surprised.
"Mr. Zhou, Director Zhang, Director Lu."
Li Yao also stood up and greeted them one by one.
Zhou Yutang glanced at Li Yao in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"I asked Li Yao to come over and watch the finished film together."
Zhang Mo chuckled and said: "I originally wanted to ask Chen Xiao to come with me, but he was too busy, and now he has joined the group again..."
"Boss~~"
Li Yao's eyes were filled with surprise.
This tone was obviously different from just now, making Zhang Mo tremble when he heard it.
Qin Bao usually speaks softly and softly, but as a woman and a married woman, she can hear many interesting things.
Even the straight man Lu Yang felt something was wrong. He smiled, quietly retreated behind the crowd, and found a seat to sit down.
"Let's watch the movie first."
Lao Mouzi coughed slightly and started to get to the point.
Zhang Mo swallowed his saliva, his face showed hope, but he was a little restless.
It's a bit like the feeling when I was in school and was suddenly called by the teacher to the podium to solve a problem.
In the screening room, except for Zhang Yimou, who was called the National Master, and Lu Yang, one of the three generals of Jiangdong, the martial arts film has reached the top of the billionaire list and is unparalleled in the limelight.
And the governor of Jiangdong himself.
In terms of age, Zhou Yutang is actually five years younger than Zhang Mo, but this puts tremendous pressure on her.
"Xiao Lu, what do you think?"
After watching the finished movie, Lao Mouzi spoke. Lu Yang scratched his head and said with a smile: "Well, it's about the theme of female growth. It's very healing and there are some laughs. Li Yao's acting skills stand up... I feel like it's complete. The degree is quite high, what does Mr. Zhou think?”
This little naughty guy!
It seemed like he was commenting, but he didn't seem to say anything at all.
Lao Mouzi shook his head, almost synchronizing his eyes with his daughter's, and turned to Zhou Yutang.
Governor Zhou, who received the pass from Lu Yang, sat back on the single sofa with his legs naturally crossed.
His back was straight, one hand was placed relaxedly on his thigh, and his index finger tapped the coffee table rhythmically: "First of all, Sister Mo's pictures are beautiful."
"Thank you..."
"You're welcome. The technique is very sound, but there are still many problems..."
Zhou Yutang smiled and then pointed out the shortcomings in the movie.
Using time travel, which is no longer a novel method, to show that the nostalgia and dream of the past self are greater than love.
There's nothing wrong with that, but the specific plot is too rigid.
He started the conversation and started a discussion about the film in the screening room.
It can be seen that Zhang Mo has a strong foundation in photography, and it was indeed brought up by Lao Mouzi.
In this movie, the heroine is Li Yao, the male lead is Chen Xiao, and Wang Kai plays the second male lead.
The focus of the drama still falls on Li Yao. In this drama, she has to play the same person of different ages.
The seventeen-year-old is simple, brave, charming and willful.
At the age of twenty-eight, you have smoothed your edges, become cautious about love, and feel at a loss when you are drifting away from your lover.
We want the audience to feel that these are two people.
The costumes and styling of the movie made a great contribution.
Li Yao's several outfits, including the vitality of the 17-year-old girl, are quite eye-catching.
At the age of 28, Sister Yu’s dress is even more eye-catching.
A slim-fitting suit and a one-step skirt.
Thin black stockings wrapped her long and well-proportioned legs, and she wore a pair of Valentino stiletto heels.
The whole person is full of the intellectual and mature charm that a royal sister should have...
Well, Li Yao is quite suitable for wearing a uniform...
"Li Yan did a good job."
Lao Mouzi also nodded and praised Jiangdong's own Tsing Yi seedling.
"Thank you, Director Zhang."
Li Yao turned around and asked: "Boss, if I get a perfect score of 100, how many points would you give me?"
"80 points."
"Why only eighty points?"
"Leave some room, the score is too high, I'm afraid you will be proud."
Zhou Yutang teased him seriously, Li Yao pursed his lips and chuckled happily.
But she didn't stay long.
There is also a fashion magazine shooting schedule in the afternoon.
Zhou Yutang and Lao Mouzi continued to chat about the schedule of "28 Years Old".
Overall, he has a conservative opinion on the market prospects of Zhang Mo's film.
No way, who told her to be Zhang Yimou's daughter?
Ordinary people might be able to pass with a score of 60, but she had to get a score of 80.
The overall quality of this movie may not be 80 points.
Lao Mouzi asked Zhou Yutang to chat, not all because of Zhang Mo, but also talked about his own project.
Zhang Yimou has not been idle during this time, and supervised Zhang Mo's "28 Years Old Minor".
We have also made a promotional video plan for the 2022 Winter Olympics, and this year's G20 summit theatrical performance in Hangzhou, with the national teacher also being the chief director.
There are also many official exchange meetings, forums and other activities, and he is still busy preparing for his first stage play "Dialogue Fables 2047"...
This is not over yet, so I took the time to go to Jingzhou again.
"Jingzhou?"
"Yes, my new drama will be filmed in Jingzhou."
...Zhou Yutang sometimes really doubted whether the Imperial Master had obtained some system.
Otherwise, how could he be so energetic that even young people feel ashamed?
On the way to accept an exclusive interview program.
In his mind, he was still thinking about the new national division project.
When Lao Mouzi was working on "Return", he got that notebook in his hand.
That is "Three Kingdoms·Jingzhou" written by Zhu Sujin, a well-known screenwriter in the industry.
This person is a leader in the field of historical drama screenwriters. His representative works "The Kangxi Dynasty", "The Romance", and "Zhu Yuanzhang" are all well-known works among history fans.
Oh, Zhu Sujin also collaborated with Gao Qianqian in the new TV series "Three Kingdoms", which received mixed reviews.
It turned out that Zhu Sujin gave the copy of "Three Kingdoms·Jingzhou" to Zhang Li.
At that time, Director Zhang was very ambitious and wanted to make this film his first entry into the film industry.
The project was in preparation for a while, and there were even rumors of inviting Zhou Yutang to play Zhou Yu, Zhang Yi to play Lu Su, and Yu Rongguang to play Guan Yu.
Later, it was abandoned due to various practical factors.
On the one hand, Zhang Li could not invite the governor.
Of course, the more important reason is that there is still capital that paid a sky-high price to invite Zhang Li to direct "Martial Arts" adapted from the popular online IP...
Ever since, the script went round and round and finally fell into the hands of Lao Mouzi's team.
Zhu Sujin's notebook was processed according to Lao Mouzi's ideas.
New wine in old bottles, wrapped in the skin of the Three Kingdoms.
Using ink painting narrative style image technology, combined with many excellent traditional Chinese cultural elements such as Bagua, Yin Yang, Qin and Se...
Isn’t that bold?
Lao Mouzi always had his own artistic pursuits in mind.
Fortunately, he didn't say anything about one shot...
……
"The postponed screening of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" ended with a total box office of 1.028 billion. It ended perfectly in the temples and palaces, with a generous tragedy!"
The smoke from the summer season has cleared, and "Xiu Chun Dao 2", which led the entire show, finally left the stage.
The entire "Xiuchundao" series has set a new record for domestic martial arts movies.
Leader Huang, who just announced the male lead role in "Langya Bang 2" at noon, expressed his feelings.
I posted a short composition on Weibo late at night.
I thanked the entire crew, especially Zhou Yutang.
Don't look at the fact that Huang Jiaozhu debuted early and has acted in a lot of movies.
Most of them are favors, and there are only a few movies that can take advantage of them.
It was also the resources of the "Xiu Chun Knife" series given to him by Zhou Yutang. The combined box office of the two films exceeded 1.5 billion, which would give him the confidence to raise performance results in the future.
At the same time, the publicity for the National Day blockbusters began to increase.
Zhou Yutang has already announced that "Operation Mekong" will be released for National Day this year.
Naturally, Jiangdong Omni Channel strongly promotes it.
Even the official media and first-tier TV stations came out to build momentum for the movie.
Happy Twist's "Donkey Gets Water" was placed at the end of October, focusing on picking up leaks.
As for Zhang Mo's "Twenty-eight Years Old Minor" and Lao Mouzi's "Big Buddha", they both competed for the Lunar New Year slot in December.
Jiang Dongjia released the film list for the second half of the year, and Huayi also held a grand press conference. Xiao Wang announced at the meeting: ""I'm Not Pan Jinlian" will be released on September 30, and we are ready to hit the National Day release with all our strength!"
When asked by a reporter about the conflict with Guo Xiaosi's "The Legend" and Jiang Dong's "Operation Mekong".
Xiaogangpao calmed down and put on the airs of the three veteran directors: "Needless to say Yu Tang, I have seen the trailer of Jiang Dong's movie, it is very good, but he is only the producer of this movie...
As for Guo Xiaosi, hey, I have long passed the stage of PKing with anyone..."
The implication was that he didn't take Guo Xiaosi seriously at all.
He turned around and took the crew overseas. Teacher Fan, the ghost in the team, also sent a message to Zhou Yutang: "Do you have confidence? The little steel cannon is going to confront you."
"He's floating."
"Dear, I want to go to Anfield to watch Liverpool play."
"You buy a ticket and go in to watch the game, can I still stop you?"
Zhou Yutang joked while talking to Teacher Fan on the phone.
Teacher Fan is so good at it.
In the eyes of outsiders, the domineering and arrogant Mr. Fan is both mature and beautiful, and is the dream lover of countless men.
This can be seen from the sales statistics of Taobao's simulated inflatable dolls.
Teacher Fan ranked second, and the highest one was Sister Zhilin, who was at the peak of her charm, more than ten times more than Teacher Fan...
Such a beautiful royal sister, who occasionally acts coquettishly, has her own charm.
Recently, Mr. Fan has been traveling a lot abroad. First he went to Toronto, then Paris to participate in Fashion Week, and then the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain...
It happened that the Premier League was about to start, and she had her thoughts on it.
Liu Tianxian and Liu Shishi both wanted to enter Anfield Stadium to feel the atmosphere.
Well, she has the privilege to enter the venue, and she wants to take photos and post them on social media platforms.
After much hard work, Zhou Yutang agreed.
Even if the little steel cannon dragged her up to the sky, wouldn't that beautiful flower-like Fan Jinlian still be a member of the Zhou Dynasty?
……
The Dynasty Hotel has a presidential suite that has been reserved for Zhou Yutang for many years.
Go directly to the hotel's internal elevator in the underground parking lot before opening the door.
IU looked over her head.
When he saw Zhou Yutang opening the door and coming in, his dark and bright eyes instantly lit up like stars.
The next moment, the warm body rushed into Zhou Yutang's arms.
A passionate and lingering kiss replaced words.
"oppa, wait a minute, I'm still wearing the custom-made dress for the meeting."
"What I want is the dress."
"..."
IU wore a red lace wrap dress today.
In addition to being sweet, she also has a mature temperament, which makes her look like a goddess.
A few strands of hair were scattered.
With her neck tilted back like a swan, South Korea's most popular natural singer let out a melodious and charming croon...
……
IU originally had no business endorsements in China, but she had many fans.
This time, the Korean ban was imposed and the company’s internal business was adjusted.
At her request, a final meeting to say goodbye to Tianchao fans was arranged.
IU's attitude towards fans cannot be overemphasized, and she is equally attentive to Chinese fans.
The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene even made her cry, which was really pitiful.
"oppa, our country seems to be doomed."
After the rain hit the banana trees, IU curled up obediently in Zhou Yutang's arms and suddenly said worriedly.
"You mean the one named Cui?"
"How do you know?"
IU raised her head and said worriedly: "Oppa seems to have taken a photo with her daughter, will there be no trouble?"
"Don't worry, there will be no problem."
Zhou Yutang felt warm in his heart, but smiled calmly, and gently rubbed his fingers on IU's round shoulders.
When she went to South Korea for business the previous time, the current Kaka hosted a banquet. She attended with her best friend and daughter, and took a group photo afterwards.
Although Zhou Yutang is behind the scenes, his control over South Korea has not weakened at all.
Just yesterday, it was revealed that Kaka's loyal best friend interfered in national affairs.
He even got the news before the South Koreans.
The world is just a huge grassroots team, and it is nothing if a best friend is involved in politics.
The young players also staged Seoul Spring.
Zhou Yutang plans to make the Seoul Spring incident into a movie, and let the independent JD. Entertainment jointly produce it with Showbox.
Let the stickies have a good time and reap another wave of box office.
You have to earn dollars, but don’t forget the money for sticks. Mosquito legs are also meat.
Work at sunset and rest at sunrise.
With the beauty in his arms, Zhou Yutang slept particularly sweetly and even had a dream.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.
Seoul Spring is still conservative.
A few years later, there was actually the most affectionate person in the peninsula, who got angry for silicone and staged the winter in Seoul...
