Chapter 70: Putting the beauty in green on the altar with his own hands
Yuan Hong felt a little depressed when he thought about it.
After I finished filming Sword and Sword III, I seemed to be picking my feet at home.
I turned my depression into appetite and gave myself another big bowl of rice.
“Is the movie Yu Tang is going to make also a youth film?”
Tang Yan's big eyes flashed and she asked Hu Ge curiously.
She also had a youth romance film released this year. Although it didn’t even make a splash, under the operation of the company, she successfully won the Best Actress and Magic City at the Beijing College Student Film Festival. Double nomination for Best Actress in a Television Film at the Television Festival.
Media press release calls him a supernova shining in the film industry.
After filming the TV series "Sword and Sword III", the company also plans to let her enter the Hong Kong circle.
“It’s a youth genre film that Lao Zhou is good at. I think it will be popular.”
Hu Ge pointed at Liu Shishi opposite and said with a smile: "I don't know how much more. Just ask Shi Shi. She is the heroine and she must know more than me."
"Uh. , It’s almost what the old nonsense said.”
Liu Shishi was very strict and didn’t reveal any information.
There is a confidentiality clause in the signed contract, and no film-related information can be leaked to the outside world.
A good relationship is a good thing, but Liu Shishi still knows clearly which is more important.
"I also feel that Yu Tang's movie will be a big hit."
Tang Yan stretched out her small white hand, clenched her fist, pretended to be a microphone and handed it to Liu Shishi's mouth: " Hey, hello Miss Liu Shishi, this is CCTV reporter Tang Yan. How do you feel about becoming the heroine of Zhou Yutang's movie? "
"What are you doing, Tangtangyou?"
Liu Shishi found it a bit funny.
This Tang Yan usually looks cute and cute, and her reactions are always slow. I didn’t expect that she has such humor.
Hu Ge, Yuan Hong and others also followed suit and shouted for her to be interviewed, but no one noticed that Yang Mi's smile was a little forced.
"Well, actually, I don't have any special feelings."
Liu Shishi showed a gentle and sweet smile, and replied generously: "I didn't expect it either, Although I can’t reveal too much about being given this opportunity, what I can tell you is that the film adapted from Yu Tang’s novel is definitely a very touching and emotional story.”
Speaking of which. , she also winked playfully: "When the movie comes out, you must go to the cinema to support it."
"."
When Yang Mi heard this, her chest suffocated and she drank silently.
She also auditioned for Zhou Yutang's movie, but the lead role was ultimately won by Liu Shishi.
This is actually a moderate blow to Damimi, who has had a smooth road to stardom since her debut
But at this time, the conversation about Zhou Yutang's movies was very lively. No one noticed Damimi's abnormality. Hu Ge shouted: "Will the movie tickets be reimbursed?"
Liu Shishi innocently said: "If you want to be reimbursed, ask Zhou Yutang, he is the boss, I Just a little actor.”
"Alas, the world is so cold. After all, we are brothers and sisters in the same school. We don't even have this little friendship."
Hu Ge deliberately acted strangely and pretended to be sad.
“Haha, Lao Hu, stop pretending.”
Liu Shishi didn’t accept his trick at all and said happily: “Yu Tang told me about that bet. You lost. You said you would book the show to support this movie. A man, you must keep your word."
"What kind of bet?"
Yuan Hong asked curiously.
“It was this year’s Champions League final, and two people were betting at midfield.”
Liu Shishi smiled narrowly: “Yu Tang and I support Milan, old Hu Fei Said Liverpool can turn around."
"If Zhou Yutang loses, he will buy 100 copies of Lao Hu's own records. If Lao Hu loses, he will book the theater to support him when the movie is released."
"Also! What’s going on?”
Yuan Hong was stunned.
“Ask Lao Hu yourself.”
“Well, that’s what happened.”
Hu Ge scratched his head and said: “Well, when the movie premieres Ying, any of you who are in Shanghai, please come over. I’ll reserve a room to celebrate Shi Shi’s first movie heroine.”
“Thank you, Lao Hu.”
Liu Shishi's quiet little face showed a gentle smile.
Hu Ge has an out-of-the-box personality. Although he is usually a bit funny and playful, and not as mature and steady as Zhou Yutang, he still takes great care of his friends.
After the closing banquet held for Zhou Yutang, some people from the crew went to Hengdian's famous Santiao Street to relax and massage their feet, but this kind of occasion was obviously not suitable for Liu Shishi and the others.
Then we went to Qiangui KTV. By the time the karaoke activity was over, it was already past 1 o'clock when we returned to the hotel.
Listening to Tang Yan's gentle breathing next to him, Liu Shishi lay on the soft bed, but couldn't sleep.
Picking up the phone and taking a look, he seemed a little hesitant about whether calling so late would disturb Zhou Yutang.
Finally I decided to make a call, but I didn’t expect to receive the call right away.
"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? Didn't I disturb you?"
"I just finished taking a shower and was watching TV."
Zhou Yutang stopped While typing, I turned up the TV volume slightly and chuckled: "Aren't you asleep too?"
"Well, Mimi drank a lot of wine by herself at night. When Sister Jia came to pick her up, she almost fainted."
Liu Shishi was very lively and wanted to tell the interesting things she encountered today. Zhou Yutang shared.
Zhou Yutang listened quietly. He stayed at the KTV for a while tonight, and spent most of the time keeping in touch with Li Guoli and his gang.
"By the way, Yu Tang, when will the filming of our movie start?"
"Next month, the preliminary preparations are almost done, wait until I finish other work in Beijing .”
"Yu Tang."
Liu Shishi hesitated for a while, and finally expressed his worries buried deep in his heart: "You said that nowadays movies are all played by big stars, and I am not famous. My acting skills are not good either. What will you do if it drags you down?"
"I believe in my own vision and I believe in you. That's enough."
Hearing this, Zhou Yutang said with relief. "There is nothing wrong with the movie script. You are very suitable for this role. There is also a special acting coach in the crew. Did I tell you? Teacher Zhang Songwen is very powerful and knows how to teach people. Your acting skills can grow slowly."
He can also understand Liu Shishi's anxiety.
This movie is also the biggest challenge she has ever encountered since becoming an actress. Her mentality is probably a bit similar to that of a high school senior who has mid-range grades but is about to take the college entrance examination.
I can't help but feel panic and confusion. All I can think about is what if I fail the exam.
At this time, women usually don’t want to hear some great truth, but they just want someone to be on her side, encourage her, and support her.
Zhou Yutang happened to be the chicken soup master, and he used his sharp tongue that night to inject a lot of positive energy into Shi Shi.
“Aren’t you worried?”
"Huh?"
"Then go to bed early, good night."
"Good night."
Liu Shishi hung up the phone, but what he was thinking about was Zhou Yutang With those words, I closed my eyes and fell into a peaceful and peaceful dreamland, with a gentle and gentle smile on my lips.
I believe you, that's enough.
…………………………
The next day.
Zhou Yutang returned to the capital and reported to the teacher's office first.
This time I even bought some more specialties. Teacher Yao and Teacher Tian both had them.
The dormitory is still the same, Zhang Ruojun is almost lazy, the dirty clothes are piled up in a pile, Brother Long is soaking in the pull-out room as usual, studying his acting skills, and the bed board is still as hard.
"The scenes between Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun have been filmed, and their performance on the crew is still very good. Director Liu Jiang praised these two newcomers as very talented and spiritual."
"Zeng Li has taken five roles so far. There are short-term business affairs and a few commercial performances, which are scheduled for two months. I am still out of town to catch up on announcements, so I asked Xiaofang to follow. By the way, she still has a few notebooks, and I feel pretty good. Take a look."
When he arrived at the studio and listened to Sister Shuang's work report, Zhou Yutang picked up the script invitations from Sister Li and took a look at them.
The script co-produced by Hong Kong director Ye Zhaoyi and the Magic City Film Group is called "Nine to Nine". It is an urban love drama with a literary and artistic orientation. The leading actor is Lin Wenlong, a veteran actor from TVB.
Zhou Yutang read it over and felt that the plot was a bit cliche. He was not very optimistic about this project and just passed it.
There is also a spy war drama, which tells the story of several underground workers from different forces fighting each other for a secret file during the Anti-Japanese War. The role of Sister Li is not very good.
"Throw it down, these dramas are not very interesting."
Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead, "There is news from Teacher Long Yi. On the 15th of this month, he is going to Come to the capital to meet with me and discuss it in detail, and then help me make time.”
“That person from the Chinese Writers Association.”
Li Shuang nodded and wrote down the date. He asked curiously: "You seem to be very optimistic about Teacher Long's works."
"I have read a few of them and they are really good." "Is it "The Boy on the Roof" or "Days Without Heroes"? I checked and both of these short stories and short stories have won awards."
"Neither."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled: "It's "Latent". This short story by Teacher Long is very interesting."
"No. Those two novels.”
Li Shuang was also slightly stunned.
It is common for novels to be adapted into screenplays in the industry, but most of them are adapted into screenplays from some important works, which naturally attracts attention.
Teacher Long Yi has written many novels, but he is a traditional literati. Apart from these award-winning novels, his other works, including "Latent", are basically not famous.
Zhou Yutang nodded and said slowly: "This work has a main theme, a compact plot, and the supporting characters can also be explored. It should be the pinnacle work of Teacher Long Yi's writing career. I will change the script, Sister Li. I think she’ll be popular as a heroine.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it.”
Li Shuang nodded slightly. She didn't understand Long Yi or the script.
But she knows Zhou Yutang well and knows that this is a person who will never target without aim.
A tacit understanding has been formed between the two people. As long as it is something Zhou Yutang decides, she will execute it unconditionally.
This matter actually started to be planned from the literati dinner held after the new book signing was sold in Shanghai.
Although I had some ideas at the time, it was just my first meeting with Teacher Long Yi and I was not too familiar with him, so I left a good impression in advance.
Later, they often communicated with each other, and the two of them seemed to have known each other forever, and it was almost time for their relationship to blossom and bear fruit.
Tuk tuk tuk!
Zhou Yutang’s fingers clicked gently on the tabletop rhythmically.
The beautiful figure in Tsing Yi came to mind, and the gentle smile in Zhou Yutang's eyes became stronger.
Sister Li, I want to hold you to the altar with one hand.
…………………………
Two days later.
On the way to the set of "Let's Get Married", Zhou Yutang sat in the back seat and listened to Sister Shuang in the passenger seat reporting the itinerary.
"Yu Tang, would you like to consider the announcements from Bendong Province and South Korea? The prices are really sincere."
"How much is the quotation?"
"Wan Sheng quoted 300,000 yuan per game."
"Is it so high?"
Zhou Yutang was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he shook his head: "Forget it, running so far I'm so tired. I just finished filming "Sword and Sword". I want to take some time off to adjust myself and prepare for the movie."
Li Shuang turned his head and said quietly: "I'm talking about mid-July. Regarding the quotation from Wan Province, at the end of July, your name was ranked third in South Korea’s Naver search, and it was also highly discussed in several forums.”
“The current quotation from the South Korean entertainment company is 500,000 per game. I invite you to come over and do activities. There are also several chaebol group shopping malls that have opened. They have also given quotations, which are about the same price. I personally think that accepting them will be of great benefit to your popularity."
"Sister Shuang, please look at the arrangements."
Zhou Yutang was slightly startled, and also a little surprised.
He heard from Li Shuang that after KBS TV station introduced "Want to See You" to be broadcast, the ratings in South Korea exploded, and it was basically invincible during the same period, but he never expected that he would become so popular.
However, this popularity is time-sensitive. When the popularity of TV series over there gradually subsides, his popularity will slowly decline.
Since everyone is sincerely adding money, it is really unreasonable not to make a big profit.
…………………………
Early August.
Zhou Yutang joins the group "Let's Get Married".
He plays Yang Tao's best friend Jiao Yang in this drama. It is a guest appearance and he does not have many roles.
However, although there are not many scenes, this character also plays a key role in advancing the plot in the play. It mainly allows the heroine Yang Tao and the hero to resolve their misunderstandings and prejudices about each other and begin to truly understand each other. other side.
"Yu Tang, you're here."
Senior brother Liu Jiang grinned when he saw Zhou Yutang.
He knew that Zhou Yutang had just finished filming on the set of "Sword and Sword III" and that he would have a movie project next. This further proved that his vision of his junior at the film school was correct.
"Sorry, Brother Liu, the filming over there is in a hurry, which has slowed down the progress here."
Zhou Yutang also greeted Liu Jiang with a smile and took the initiative to explain the situation.
"It's not a big problem, Yu Tang. Are you almost done with the preliminary preparations for your movie?"
Senior Brother Liu Jiang patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder knowingly.
The two people chatted closely, and the crew on the set were all good people. Looking at this situation, you will know it after thinking about it.
If you were an ordinary actor, let alone asking Director Liu Jiang to adjust the shooting plan, if you dare to join the cast a few days later, no matter what your reason is, according to Director Liu Jiang’s temper, he will not tolerate you, and he will just Tell people to get lost.
Zhou Yutang still has face.
In fact, "Let's Get Married" was launched earlier than "Sword and Sword III", and it was almost in the final stage at this time.
Only a few big scenes in the play and Zhou Yutang’s scenes need to be reshot.
After chatting with Senior Brother Liu for a while and clarifying today’s shooting plan, Zhou Yutang went to find Gao Yuanyuan.
Today we filmed the scene with the fountain in the garden of Gao Yuanyuan Hotel.
The investment cost of this drama is said to be more than 50 million. In fact, it is definitely not that much. However, Senior Brother Liu Jiang has a very deep trick. News spread about the large-scale TV drama endorsed by CCTV and Hunan Television. It will not be sold. With less advertising, the initial cost will almost be recovered.
Therefore, the crew here is extremely wealthy, and the scene layout of each episode is all in pursuit of high-end atmosphere and class.
What I do is working on big productions, and what I do is work for CCTV and Hunan-Taiwan Drama King.
The shooting scene.
The lobby of a five-star hotel in Beijing.
"Photography team, how are the camera positions prepared?"
"Ready, director."
"OK, ready to start."
"Tap up makeup."
"Scene, quiet, 3, 2, 1, start !”
This scene is about Guo Ran and Yang Tao who don’t like each other. They got drunk and bitched at the KTV at night. The next day, Guo Ran took the initiative to work at Yang Tao because of his friend Duan Xifeng’s face. The hotel explained.
As expected, the man in the suit apologized with a coy face: "Well, hello, Star Tao. The one who drank too much last night, your brother-in-law also lives with me, and I don't know what nonsense he said last night, so I came here specially to say hello to you today. Please explain."
"Explain what? There is nothing to explain."
Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and stood at the front desk operating the computer, looking impatient: "I'm telling you, My time is precious, and I don’t have time to waste it on you. I just want to say, I’m not a nymphomaniac, I don’t have a crush on you at all!”
“Very good!”
Sure enough, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope you didn't say angry words"
"."
Gao Yuanyuan was completely speechless.
Family members, this common man is so humble.
You don’t know how to look in the mirror to see what you look like. Do you think this girl fell in love with you at first sight?
Seeing that she really felt good about herself, Sister Yuanyuan couldn't bear it. She turned her eyes and suddenly had a plan in mind.
On the pretext that chatting in the hotel lobby was not a good influence, Guo Ran was coaxed under the fountain outside the hotel, and then at the right time, water was poured from the top of the fountain, drenching Guo Ran all over.
“Hey, do it again!”
I sprayed and got wet, but when the two of them were talking, Gao Yuanyuan obviously laughed. The rhythm was wrong, so the director had to shout Stop, reshoot this.
“I’m sorry.”
Gao Yuanyuan apologized decisively.
"Take a rest and adjust."
Director Liu Jiang nodded and discussed the next shooting plan with the assistant director beside him. As expected, he was also good-tempered, so he smiled and didn't take it to heart.
After the filming, the male lead had to change clothes and blow dry his hair. After waiting for a while, Zhou Yutang went up to say hello to Gao Yuanyuan: "Sister Yuanyuan, don't laugh when you see me happy. Be professional. It would cost tens of thousands to reshoot this scene."
"Ah, so expensive!"
Gao Yuanyuan was also a little surprised, feeling a little embarrassed. I feel a little guilty, after all, I was the one who dragged down the crew.
But when he saw Zhou Yutang beside him, he immediately glared at him: "It's not your fault. Why did you smile so brightly just now? It distracted me."
Oh, woman.
