Chapter 57 Mature Woman, Real Man [100 Monthly Ticket for Extra Updates]
“Sissi.”
Aunt Liu entered the house on high heels and shouted first.
"Mom, you're back!"
Hearing the response from his daughter's familiar voice from upstairs, a smile appeared on his face.
She took off her high heels, put on her home cotton slippers wrapped in black stockings, put her handbag aside, and walked towards Liu Yifei's room.
"Sissi, Changchang, have you had your meal?"
Seeing that Shu Chang was there, Aunt Liu had a warm smile on her face.
"Hello, Auntie, Sissi and I have had dinner." Shu Chang said with a sweet and polite smile.
"Hmm, we ordered food at the restaurant. Mom, why did you come back so late? Xiao Zhou has been waiting for you for a long time in the afternoon."
"We were discussing something in Huayi today. Something went wrong and I came back a little late."
Aunt Liu looked at her daughter who seemed to be holding a thin stack of A4 paper in her hand, and said with a smile: "Sissi, What do you think of Zhou Yutang? "
"I told you last time that Xiao Zhou wrote a movie script and planned to make a movie by himself."
< br>Liu Yifei handed the script in her hand to Aunt Liu like a treasure, "Mom, look, this is it."
Aunt Liu reluctantly took the script, glanced at it a few times, and showed His eyebrows were raised slightly: "Zhou Yutang is a youth-type film adapted from a novel written by himself. It seems that there has never been such a film in the Mainland, right?"
As she watched, Aunt Liu seemed to find it interesting again, and she was so involved that she forgot to speak for a while.
She is a dancer herself, and she can be said to be an art lover, and she still has a certain appreciation for art.
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang looked at each other, and the two best friends secretly smiled.
They secretly nicknamed Zhou Yutang the Young Woman Sniper.
Seeing Aunt Liu like this, she seemed to be quite moved by Zhou Yutang's talent.
When Aunt Liu finished reading the script and put it down, Liu Tianxian's clear eyes shone with hope: "Mom, haven't you always wanted to arrange for me to make a movie? In Xiao Zhou's movie, he plays the male lead and I play the female lead. What do you think?"
"You play the heroine?"
Aunt Liu looked at the script for a while and thought about it for a long time before speaking: "Xiao Zhou wrote This story looks pretty good, but"
"But what?"
Liu Yifei asked impatiently.
Aunt Liu shook her head gently: "But the cost is too low. A small-scale film like this has limited influence. If placed in the entire film market, it may not make a splash."
Paused. After a pause, Aunt Liu seemed a little curious and said: "Xiao Zhou, didn't he just act in a TV series? Why do you want to go and make a movie?"
"Xiao Zhou has a lot of ideas. At that time, "Want to See You" This TV series is a script he wrote himself, and he also invested in and starred in it. This movie is a new project of his studio. "
"This TV series is quite popular, so he can't do it all at once. Just jump from TV series to movies?
You have already filmed several TV series and have been working on it for several years before you are ready to enter the big screen. Why does Xiao Zhou have to film a few more TV series to gain popularity? It’s a bit too big a step.”
Aunt Liu thought of something and shook her head with a smile: "Mom has read Xiao Zhou's reports and can understand his thoughts."
"Young people, who become famous and talented at a young age, always want to Xiao Zhou is too idealistic in doing things, and his mother feels that he may fall into trouble this time."
"Mom, don't you think highly of Xiao Zhou?"
Miss Liu. I glanced at Aunt Liu, feeling a little disappointed.
“I am very optimistic about Zhou Yutang. He is very talented and motivated. If he practices hard, he will have a bright future in the future.”
"But you don't understand many things. Reality does not mean that advancement alone can determine everything. Especially in this circle, capital is needed to operate. It is not as simple as he thought."
Aunt Liu took over. Wearing skirts, she sat elegantly next to Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and persuaded her with sincere words: "Qianxi, you and Xiao Zhou are friends. If you have the opportunity, you can help your mother persuade him. This is for his own good."
< br>"Oh."
Miss Liu nodded.
“After dealing with those people, I understand how deep the film industry is. Xiao Zhou is too young to grasp it.”
"Yeah."
Liu Yifei lowered her head and responded dully after hearing a lot of truth.
Next to her, Shu Chang shook Liu Yifei's little hand. She could feel that her best friend was feeling a little depressed.
"Sissi, listen to your mother, she has been here before."
"Besides, all your energy is now focused on "The King of Kung Fu". The first phase of training is currently It’s over, and there will be a second phase of special training, which is not scheduled at all this year.”
At this point, Aunt Liu's face was radiant: "This movie is the opportunity I gave you with so much hard work. It's a big investment of several hundred million. You will be starring in the movie with the international stars Jet Li and Jackie Chan. When the movie If it is filmed, it will definitely be very popular, and it may even help you get into Hollywood."
"Well, I know mom, I will work hard."
Liu Yifei clicked. nod.
She knew that her mother’s dream was to break into Hollywood and promote herself as an international star.
But at this time, Miss Liu was not thinking about such distant things.
She was only thinking about the story about the simple first love in those years.
Is youth and first love really that beautiful?
Miss Liu is actually not very understanding.
Because after she finished elementary school, she followed her mother to the United States.
The education model there is very different from that in China.
The main focus of the school is freedom, and there are small groups of students from different races and countries in the same class.
As a teenage girl from China, it is very difficult to carefully integrate into the environment, let alone experience the hazy and beautiful youth in the story.
But this does not prevent Miss Liu from having a sentimental and soft heart.
That youthful and beautiful feeling made her heart throb slightly with longing.
If she missed this script, Ms. Liu would feel very regretful, but she would not be able to speak.
She has grown up.
I can understand that my mother is also standing in her position and has put a lot of effort into herself.
Let’s talk about this movie with Hua Yi now. It is a super large-scale production with a total investment of more than 300 million yuan. My mother has been busy and involved a lot of favors in it, and the contract has already been signed.
Preliminary preparations for the crew are in place. In order for Ms. Liu to better perform the heroic role of the heroine, the second phase of special training will be carried out soon!
Miss Liu had mixed thoughts, pursed her lips tightly, and picked up her mobile phone:
"Xiao Zhou, you have to work hard, and I will work hard."
…………………………………………
Open.
Drive towards the edge of the capital.
Roll down the windows.
After seeing off Senior Wang Jia, we walked around and around to get to the downstairs of Sister Yuanyuan’s community.
After observing for a while and finding no hidden spies, Zhou Yutang parked the car.
Standing under the street lamp, looking at the light on in the window of Gao Yuanyuan's house.
Actually, Sister Yuanyuan is a bit artistic at heart.
Originally Zhou Yutang said she wanted to book a restaurant for a romantic dinner, but she insisted that she might be photographed if she went out.
It is better to buy food and cook it at home. The food you cook will taste better.
How sad.
Does this sister really know how to cook?
Zhou Yutang didn’t believe it.
I don’t know if this lady will order the kitchen.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, his cell phone rang.
“Hey, Xiao Zhou.”
Miss Liu’s words are soft and sweet.
"Huh?"
"I'm sorry."
Miss Liu's voice sounded a little apologetic.
"Aunt Liu is back?"
Zhou Yutang's voice was very calm.
He has no problem with his emotional intelligence and IQ. He already understands what Miss Liu's "I'm sorry" means, which is to be expected.
Pfft!
I don't know which restaurant it was, but there was the sound of cooking in a frying pan, and Zhou Yutang seemed to smell a burnt aroma.
"Well, mom said..."
Liu Yifei on the other side of the phone didn't seem to know what to say, and she was silent for a while guiltily.
"It's okay, Shu Chang is just joking and talking this afternoon, don't take it to heart."
Zhou Yutang's mood was as usual, without any disturbance, and he chuckled cynically: "To be honest, I'm relaxed Take a breath and thank Aunt Liu.”
"Why do you say that?"
"I invested all my wife in this movie. If I let you act, the salary will be high, but the acting skills are not good enough. When the time comes, the box office will be a hit, so I won't have to pay for it. In the future I can’t even get a wife.”
“You, you, you are talking nonsense! What’s wrong with my acting skills?”
Liu Tianxian has always been sensitive to the topic of his acting skills, as if he was being stepped on. The tail is like a cat, and the little milky voice is a little embarrassed.
This girl’s idol is Audrey Hepburn. She has always dreamed of becoming a good actress and is working hard for it.
"Well, very good, very good. Let's not talk about it for now. I feel like the kitchen at home is going to catch on fire."
"You are talking nonsense again." Liu Yifei curled her lips to show that she would not be fooled.
However, Zhou Yutang seemed to have no intention of chatting with her at the moment, and then said a few words briefly.
Hung up the phone.
Zhou Yutang's original cynical smile instantly faded.
Aunt Liu is a mature woman, and he is also a realistic man.
Actually, I didn’t have much hope for Liu Tianxian to play the heroine, so I just tried to ask.
Liu Tianxian currently has a big movie project in hand.
With a large investment of more than 300 million, she has almost all her schedule this year here.
Liu Tianxian is one of the alternatives, and Zhou Yutang has a plan.
He did not go upstairs immediately. He stood there and thought for a while, then turned back to open the car door, picked up the cigarette case from the storage box, and smoked a cigarette.
Put it to your nose and smell it.
Then the lighter grinding wheel made a scraping sound.
A beam of fire jumped up.
Zhou Yutang blocked the wind with his hands, lit a cigarette, and took a long drag.
Cigarette butt sparks suddenly lit up.
Exhaling the smoke gently from his mouth, it curled up like a white dragon, covering his face.
I stood downstairs and took a few puffs.
Immediately press out the cigarette butt.
A bright smile appeared on his face again.
Turn around and go upstairs one step at a time, like a wild horse running wild.
…………………………
“Sister Yuanyuan, are you sure you did this?”
“How is it? Are you surprised? Not surprised? ”
Seeing the surprised expression on Zhou Yutang's face who had just walked in, Gao Yuanyuan smiled with a sense of accomplishment.
Shocked and unexpected, it is not necessarily overjoyed.
Zhou Yutang sat in front of the dining table, facing the gentle sister with her hands on her cheeks and smiling at him, with a troubled expression on her face:< br>
“Sister Yuanyuan, I don’t seem to be very hungry yet. Can you skip dinner?”
“No, I started preparing it at four o’clock, and it took a lot of effort to make the dishes. ! ”
Gao Yuanyuan shook her head repeatedly, the expression on her face said there was no negotiation.
"You won't end up in the hospital after eating this, right?"
Zhou Yutang cursed in his heart, not at all as high-spirited as when he went upstairs.
In front of him was a bowl of white rice, with a few sesame seeds sprinkled on top thoughtfully.
There are several plates with blue patterns and white backgrounds on the dining table.
A plate contained what appeared to be tomato scrambled egg paste.
On the other plate were fried prawns.
There was also a large bowl filled with dark soup that could not be discerned
Zhou Yutang's face was solemn, and he looked around and didn't know where to start.
“You try it.”
I have to say that when a woman acts like a baby, she is very convincing, especially when a mature and beautiful woman like Gao Yuanyuan acts like a baby, it is so convincing.
Zhou Yutang finally moved his chopsticks, picked up a piece of tomato, mixed it with egg batter and put it into his mouth.
It’s sour, sweet and salty. I really don’t know how Gao Yuanyuan can cook such a dish.
Although the taste is not good, it cannot be said to be unpalatable. There seems to be a limit to how you can cook the tomato scrambled eggs. Anyway, Zhou Yutang tastes the pure taste of fried tomatoes.
“How was it?”
Before I could swallow it, I heard Sister Yuanyuan ask impatiently, with a look of anticipation on her face.
Zhou Yutang did not hesitate at all, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sister Yuanyuan, your cooking skills have been recognized by my young master from Su Province. Why don't you change your profession to be a chef? When you open a restaurant in the future, you can appoint someone who can "Fire."
"What the hell?"
Gao Yuanyuan looked at Zhou Yutang taking a big bite of rice, showing her signature sweet smile, and couldn't help but ask: "Really?" Is it so delicious?”
“Have you never tasted it yourself?”
Zhou Yutang paused with his chopsticks and his expression twitched.
“I’ve tasted it.”
Gao Yuanyuan said awkwardly: “I think the oil-fried prawns are a bit bland, and then I added more salt. What do you think?”
Too much salt was added, and it tasted salty.
Zhou Yutang swallowed the rice, and his expression showed just the right amount of surprise: "Not bad, it goes well with the meal!"
"How about trying the soup again."
Hearing Zhou Yutang's affirmative praise, Gao Yuanyuan was full of motivation. She took a big spoon, scooped soup into a small bowl, and handed it to Zhou Yutang.
There are still oil flowers floating on the dark soup water, and a few green embellishments are floating unwillingly.
“What kind of soup is this?”
Zhou Yutang looked confused.
It feels a bit like Pan Jinlian feeding Dalang medicine.
“Pork Ribs and Lotus Root Soup. I heard it is good for detoxifying and beautifying the skin. I followed the online tutorial and simmered it on low heat for several hours.”
“Then why did you put the wolfberry in it? Is this what I taught you in the tutorial?”
“What do you think about supplementing nutrition?”
Dameiyuan’s voice was a little proud and naive.
"It's quite creative."
"Then try it."
"."
Zhou Yutang drank all the soup to save face, and the two of them finished eating. A warm meal, clear the dishes.
Then, Zhou Yutang naturally hugged Da Meiyuan and watched TV on the sofa. He got close to her hair and could smell the orchid scent of a mature woman, and he began to feel distracted.
It’s a bit outrageous when you think about it.
He was called Xiao Wenhou of Jiangdong, and he was at the age when he was vigorous and powerful. Sister Yuanyuan asked him to eat wolfberry to supplement his strength! ?
That makes no sense!
Tonight, he must prove himself!
“Sister Yuanyuan, let’s talk about the script.”
"Why are you in such a hurry? Go check and see if the curtains are closed?"
The next day, Gao Yuanyuan joined the cast of "We Got Married", and Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio also released news for his The first self-directed and self-acted movie is looking for a heroine.
Soon, his small studio received several boxes of resumes.
"Senior Brother Lin, why are there so many?"
Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead, feeling a little dizzy.
There was also a man in his thirties in the studio named Lin Liang. He was his senior from the film school and the casting director he had found for this film project.
“There are two boxes outside, and I haven’t brought them in yet.”
Lin Liang chuckled and said, “You have such a good reputation now, and some people are planning to come to my side. , I want to stuff people into the crew.”
In fact, casting directors in the industry have always had a very good life. Although they are like grandsons in front of the director, this is the case for those low-level actors who want to climb up. A "big shot" that you can get in touch with.
Because his words may very well determine the fate of a low-level actor, so he must not fawn over him desperately.
Although Zhou Yutang is making a small-scale film, there are many actresses waiting for the opportunity to show up.
Especially the opportunity to star with the popular young actor Zhou Yutang, this is enough to make many actresses grab their heads.
Lin Liang was born in a film school and has been in the industry for nearly ten years. He has excellent professional and personal qualities. After sorting out the boxes, he asked: "What are the specific requirements to pay attention to when selecting a heroine?" "
"The heroine of this movie is set to be between 18 and 25 years old. She is required to look pure and sweet, and look like a school beauty at first glance. It is best to have a certain acting foundation."
Zhou Yutang thought for a while and simply conveyed his thoughts to Lin Liang.
There are still several months before filming starts, so he has plenty of time to choose the most suitable candidate.
Although this is the first film project produced by Jiangdong Studio, Zhou Yutang does not have to do everything by himself.
There are just several boxes of resumes. It would take a lot of time to read them one by one.
This is what professional casting directors do. They implement the director's specific requirements, select actors who meet Zhou Yutang's ideas, and then decide on the final candidate through auditions.
Lin Liang nodded, took out a pen and paper, sketched a few times, wrote down the conditions mentioned by Zhou Yutang, and immediately got to work.
Zhou Yutang took a look at his selection process, which was breathtaking.
What is professionalism?
Senior Brother Lin first placed an empty box underneath, holding a large stack of resumes in his strong left hand. He stared at the resumes and scanned them quickly like a radar. I don’t know if he saw clearly. In short, the right hand was swung rapidly as if it were cutting noodles with a knife.
Shuashushushushushua!
Resume after resume fell like snowflakes into the empty box at the bottom.
This is the group of people who do not meet Zhou Yutang's conditions.
They may have sent this resume with longing and hope, dreaming of starring with Zhou Yutang and becoming an instant hit. Unfortunately, they woke up a little too quickly and didn't even put their resume on Zhou Yutang. on the table
Huh?
There is also a clever resume using matte material.
Lin Liang swiped a few times without swiping it, looked at it a few more times, and put this resume in the candidate section.
Zhou Yutang took it over and took a look.
Sit up straight.
The expression was slightly surprised.
