Chapter 48 Long face! 【Second update】

The waves crashed onto the shore.

Thousands of piles of snow were rolled up.

Another sleepless night.

During the following period, Zhou Yutang lived a very fulfilling life.

The main focus is on the creation of his own movie scripts "In Those Years, We Chased Girls Together" and the TV series "Let's Get Married".

This youth-type movie script is an adaptation of a story he had written long ago, and it is also the key to his career development.

As for the script "Let's Get Married", Zhou Yutang himself is not planning to star in it. Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio can cooperate with other film and television companies.

Based on the hit "Want to See You", Zhou Yutang is now considered a well-known screenwriter in the circle, and the price quoted for the script is not low.

Anyway, making money is progress.

Nothing wrong.

Working overtime to roughly write the entire story of the script, Zhou Yutang went to Teacher Yao’s office to report. By the way, he called Teacher Xue to read the script together. He originally wanted to call Sister Yu, but it turned out that this sister had something to do out of town.

"Is this the script you wrote during this period?"

Teacher Yao looked at Zhou Yutang with eyes full of surprise.

"Yes, during this period, I heard a sister I knew tell her love story, and I was inspired to write this story. Teacher Yao, what do you think?"

Zhou Yutang skillfully picked up the white porcelain cup and fetched himself a glass of water from the water dispenser.

I have been to Teacher Yao’s office so many times that it almost feels like my own home

Teacher Yao looked through the script and nodded in praise: “Not bad, the story is plain, the male and female protagonists are The conflicts are clear and collide with each other. The drama has enough tension and is very interesting. It also talks about relatively realistic issues and is very deep. It is much more down-to-earth than your previous script."

Zhou Yutang: "."

Teacher Yao, that’s not what you said when you watched "Want to See You".

Woman, your name is Fickle.

"Xiao Dan is right, you don't sell literature and art, don't pretend to be sad, and don't rely on bloodshed to gain attention."

"You can tell stories in a down-to-earth manner, and tell this story I understand. It’s interesting. This alone is better than many scripts. Moreover, the theme conveyed by this drama is also positive. I think this TV series may have a wider audience than "Want to See You"."
 Teacher Xue also gave his professional opinions.

Zhou Yutang also chuckled and said: "Mr. Xue, you think it's okay, are you interested in working together again?"

Sheeping wool once is shearing, and twice is also shearing.

Having worked together once, he has no doubt about Teacher Xue’s strength.

"Oh, I'm afraid not. I recently took on a project."

Teacher Xue took the script and read it again and again, and finally put it down, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the next There won’t be much time in two years.”

“Is it the story about the autism community?”

Teacher Yao obviously knew the inside story.

"Yes."

Teacher Xue nodded and chatted for a while.

Zhou Yutang is also in awe. This teacher has quietly been a volunteer for the autism community for more than ten years.

The drama "Want to See You" became a hit, and Zhou Yutang was not the only one to benefit. Teacher Xue Xiaolu also benefited a lot.

She was originally a senior person with considerable qualifications and reputation in the industry. It was her first time to direct a TV series, and she achieved such excellent results in a small trial. She was immediately approached by film and television companies in the industry.

Teacher Xue plans to turn this story of his personal experience as a volunteer for the autism community into a script and make it into a movie.

This movie is a dream for Teacher Xue.

So Mr. Xue’s energy is also focused on this movie, and naturally he has no intention of directing another TV series.

…………………………

Zhou Yutang handed the script to Teacher Yao and said that he would help and find connections.

He originally thought there would be no reply in the short term, so he didn’t take it to heart and continued his daily life.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, someone would come to the door.

Film Academy.

Four Seasons Cafe.

Teacher Yao took the initiative to introduce Zhou Yutang: "Xiaotang, this is director Liu Jiang, who is also your senior from the film school."

"Hello, senior brother Liu."

Zhou Yutang is very polite. greeted.

This senior, who graduated from the 1988 acting department of Beijing Film Academy, is a classmate of Jiang Wenli and Xu Qing. He is also a well-known director, screenwriter and producer in the industry.

I have previously directed several life-style TV dramas such as the criminal investigation drama "Iron Youth" and the business war drama "The Game Within the Game", which have also achieved good results.

In addition, he also has an even more powerful identity, that is, the vice president of the Chinese TV Drama Directors Working Committee.

This is a real boss.

"Haha, you're welcome, we're all on our own. It's been a long time since we came to the Four Seasons Hall to talk about things."

Director Liu Jiang is wide and fat, with a short haircut and a kind face. He patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder and smiled kindly.

We all came from a film school, so we naturally have a sense of identity and belonging. This is a circle.

"I heard from Teacher Xiaodan that you wrote this script?"

"Well, the script was written in a hurry and very rough. Does Brother Liu have any corrections?"

Zhou Yutang said with a respectful attitude.

“I can’t say I can correct you, you are very talented.”

Liu Jiang looked at the young man in front of him and sighed: “I know that the TV series that is very popular recently is also about you. It’s really good. My daughter likes it very much. You have to sign it for me later.”

"There is no problem with signing."

Zhou Yutang said with sweat: "Actually, the success of this drama is mainly due to Teacher Xue. Teacher Yao gave a lot of advice. I am still young and I still have a lot to learn. "

"Haha, you are quite interesting."

Liu Jiang looked at him and smiled: "I came to see you today because I have something to tell you."

"Xiao Dan showed me this script you wrote. I thought it was very good. I also took it to the TV Drama Directors Working Committee for internal discussion. The theme has depth that can be explored. It just happened to be held a few days ago. I held a conference and was given the task of making a marriage-themed drama. This script was very suitable. I talked to the leaders of CCTV and Xiang TV, and both sides also received news, saying that they were very interested in this project. If you are interested, you can try to cooperate once..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yutang's heart beat unexpectedly.

CCTV and Xiangtai are interested at the same time! ?

There is no precedent for cooperation between these two major platforms!

Senior Brother Liu’s words are a bit official, but the underlying meaning is very clear.

If this TV series is filmed and its quality is recognized, the premiere will most likely be broadcast on CCTV and Hunan Radio during prime time.

As far as domestic TV stations are concerned, CCTV is the king, while Xiangtai is the king.

I fainted directly.

Both big and small kings are coming out. Is this the rhythm of chasing the annual drama king?

Seeing that Zhou Yutang seemed to be slightly shocked, Director Liu Jiang nodded with satisfaction:

"Xiao Zhou, it seems that you should understand what I mean, put this How about leaving the script to my senior brother?”

After a pause, Liu Jiang smiled and asked: "I heard from Xiaodan that you have opened a studio of your own. Are you interested in investing some money? This is a big project, and there will be several big companies entering by then." The share given may not be too much.”

“Thank you, Brother Liu, for giving me the opportunity.”

Happiness came so suddenly, Zhou Yutang quickly agreed.

He is not a fool, how could he refuse this piece of cake brought to his lips by Senior Brother Liu. Being able to participate in the production of such a large project, the economic benefits are secondary. The most important thing is that the Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio's brand name can increase in value, and the personal connections gained cannot be measured in terms of money.

Think about it.

The first TV series "I Want to See You" produced by Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio was a hit and received an enthusiastic response. It also entered the South Korean film and television drama market!

Next, we will work with giants like CCTV and Xiangtai to produce TV dramas at the level of drama kings.

Just looking at this will make anyone dizzy.

From now on, Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio will be a golden brand in the circle specializing in high-quality film and television content.

At that time, there would be no need for Zhou Yutang to raise any investment. He would just spread the word that Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio was going to make a TV series, and some bosses would come to him waving a lot of money to hit him.

We sat and chatted for a long time, mainly discussing the script.

Senior Brother Liu is also observing Zhou Yutang, listening to his words and deeds. He is respectful and polite, but also has a youthful spirit.

When he heard that Zhou Yutang was now planning to work on a movie project, he was shocked.

Originally, I had the same idea as Huang Xiaoming, thinking that Zhou Yutang might be a little carried away after achieving some results.

When a young man succeeds, he will aim high. There are too many such things in the circle.

However, after discussing his ideas with Zhou Yutang, Senior Brother Liu found that this kid was very sober.

And there must be something in it.

From the "Cultural Development Plan Outline" which was just promulgated not long ago by the relevant national management departments, it talks about many system construction and specific measures in the field of intellectual property protection, and everyone has their own opinions.

Even Liu Jiang was unconsciously infected by his confidence and felt that he would definitely succeed.

"He is full of energy and has a groove in his chest. He is a powerful young man. He will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future!"

Senior Brother Liu sighed inwardly, and his eyes met with Teacher Yao's, and he saw the pride on Yao Xiaodan's face. .

Finally I understand.

Why did junior sister Xiaodan use her connections to help Zhou Yutang like this.

This student, give him a hand now.

From now on, he will make faces for the teacher.

Having said that, Zhou Yutang told Brother Liu about his thoughts on the heroine of the TV series "Let's Get Married",

"Brother Liu, in fact, the script of this TV series is The original intention of the creation was inspired by the emotional experience of a sister who was also very interested in starring as the heroine Yang Tao."

"Oh, who is it?"
 Senior Brother Liu asked curiously: "Your sister Zeng Li?"

No, Brother Liu, this Jiangdong sister is too salty. She is going to travel around Europe with her best friend soon.

Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's Gao Yuanyuan, she didn't hold me back last time. She has decided to play the heroine, and I have no choice.”

“Yuanyuan, no wonder.”

Liu Jiang nodded suddenly, “Okay, I’ll remember it. I’ll look back. You ask her to audition, and I'll take a look. This drama must be a good one, and it depends on whether she can handle the role."

"Of course, thank you, Brother Liu."

Zhou Yutang quickly thanked him.

For this kind of big drama jointly produced by CCTV and Hunan TV, the actors must have very strong professional abilities.

Of course, this does not mean that there is no need to rely on relationships at all.

If there is an actress who is as famous as Gao Yuanyuan, and her business ability is also between them, and the two are competing for the role of Carambola at the same time, as Zhou Yutang mentioned here, then the person Liu Jiang will choose in the end must be It will be Gao Yuanyuan...

It is so realistic.

After leaving the Four Seasons Hall, Zhou Yutang was still a little excited.

If this opportunity can be grasped, then Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio will definitely be able to reach a higher level!

He really can't wait to make progress.

…………………………

Evening.

Zhou Yutang chose to stay in the dormitory for the first time in a long time.

After thinking about it, I went to the balcony and called Gao Yuanyuan: "Sister Yuanyuan, this is Xiaotang."

"Why did you call me suddenly?"
 Gao Yuanyuan's mood is also a bit complicated.

Her feelings for Zhou Yutang cannot be said to be that she likes him. She can only say that she appreciates his talent and has some affection for him.

But even she didn't expect that when they met for the first time, she would take the initiative to invite him to her home.

Although he has maintained the final bottom line, but.

Does he think he is that kind of woman?

I feel ashamed to see him.

Escape is shameful, but useful. Da Meiyuan was about to hang up the phone on Yu Tang’s brother.

I heard Zhou Yutang's warm voice coming from the other side of the phone: "Sister Yuanyuan, how have you been these days?"

"Well, what's the matter?"
 Da Meiyuan, whose tone was cold, seemed to still be brooding about what happened that night.

“That’s it, Sister Yuanyuan, during this period of time I worked hard to finish this script. Later, Brother Liu Jiang from the Film School was very interested and planned to make it into a big drama, so I recommended it to him. You won’t blame me for being presumptuous, right?”

Gao Yuanyuan was so surprised that she was stunned. The simple and tired look of Zhou Yutang on the other side of the phone appeared in her mind.

Perhaps, brother Yu Tang has been working overtime every day to write scripts for himself these past few nights.

My heart suddenly softened, and the slight coldness in my tone just now disappeared.

"Sister Yuanyuan will be notified over there that you are going to audition. Keep up the good work. It's okay. I'll hang up."

Zhou Yutang heard a silence on the other side of the phone and encouraged her again.

"Brother Yu Tang, thank you for being so kind to me."

Gao Yuanyuan said quietly: "But I don't want to fall in love for the time being."

"?"

Zhou Yutang doesn't Xuan Buji explained: "Sister Yuanyuan, I don't want to fall in love, I just want to have a good career."

"Then why are you so nice to me?"

"Because this story was inspired by Sister Yuanyuan. Apart from Sister Yuanyuan, I can't think of anyone else who can portray the feeling of Star Tao."

"Do you think I can pass it?" Audition? "

Gao Yuanyuan's voice seemed to be worrying about gain and loss.

Mainly during this period, there were various criticisms of her acting skills from people inside and outside the industry, saying that she was just a long and good-looking vase, which shocked Da Meiyuan to the point where she almost lost her confidence.

“Actually, Sister Yuanyuan, your acting skills are very suitable for playing the role of Carambola.”

Zhou Yutang consoled him.

Not only is it suitable, there is no problem at all. Of course, the premise is that Gao Yuanyuan does not use her acting skills

Because the role of Yang Tao is originally her own, she can naturally show her usual state. , which is star fruit peach.

"Then thank you."

Gao Yuanyuan's tone gradually softened: "Brother Yutang, please come out and meet us tonight. I want to thank you in person."

"Sister Yuanyuan, please give it another day. I have to change the script tonight."

"I just want to talk to you about the script again."
