Chapter 164 I’ll take care of Aunt Liu
“First he won Magnolia’s best screenwriter, and then he won Golden Goblet’s best actor crown. After two and a half years of debut, he has improved faster than a rocket!”
"At the age of twenty-one, he has set many records in the film industry. Zhou Yutang's amazing talent has been realized."
"From scratch, he spent hundreds of millions to buy a building. How much is Zhou Yutang's real worth?"
“Jiangdong Entertainment’s “My Love from the Star” is Zhou Yutang’s ambitious work!”
"Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Shishi left the scene sadly, Fan Xiaopang strongly intervened to no avail, and the romantic and talented man's love wave regenerated."
"The fairy sister is the true love. Zhou Yutang spent 80 million to build a domestic super Cast urban drama is about to create an annual classic!"
Looking at the front page news of a stack of entertainment newspapers bought by Mao Xiaoyu in the office.
I just returned to the capital after the Magic City International Film Festival there. I first accepted a wave of exclusive interviews with important media, and then started to make headlines.
Zhou Yutang browsed through it at will and turned on the computer to browse the news on major forums.
This super-large production, co-operated with Liu Yifei, continues to gain popularity, attracting countless people in the industry to pay attention, and also triggers a crazy discussion among a group of people on the Internet:
"Looking at Zhou Yutang since his debut, every drama has been Spreading scandals is a common hype tactic used by this person, which is really ridiculous. "Future Master Lu Zongpingchuan.
"Haha, I just separated from Fan Xiaopang, and I immediately got close to the fairy sister. Commander, please take it easy." Jiangdong Xu Sheng, a melon-eater.
“Here’s a little news, Zhou Yutang actually has a girlfriend a long time ago. It seems that in Shanghai, I saw her once while eating at a private restaurant. The two of them were very affectionate~~~” Lion kkk.
"It's not Tang Yan you're talking about upstairs, right? Tang Yan is from Modu, and she has a good relationship with Zhou Yutang." Tangtang has the most beautiful legs in domestic entertainment.
"Let's all retreat. Zhou Yutang is a nice person and can get along! He knew that Qian Qian was in a bad situation recently and even took her to film a movie. If you don't want to worry about it, I will support you."
The "My Love from the Star" project was announced on the day of the company's relocation, and it already aroused a lot of discussion.
Big projects happen every year.
Every major entertainment company launches its own S-level projects almost every year in order to enhance the status of artists and increase the influence of the company.
The large projects of Jiangdong Entertainment Company are particularly attractive.
Big projects invested by other film and television companies in the industry may fail, but Zhou Yutang never fails.
The excellent reputation accumulated through consecutive hit dramas has created an undefeated reputation for Jiangdong Entertainment Company.
When the audience saw that it was produced by Jiangdong Entertainment and written by Zhou Yutang himself, they subconsciously felt that it must be a masterpiece.
Coupled with the 80 million investment project, Zhou Yutang, who just won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor, stars in the film, and the heroine is Liu Yifei, who has not had a new work in more than a year.
The filming of "My Love from the Star" has not even started yet, but the media has already hyped it up to the sky.
"Sister Shuang, the company of "Star You" accounts for 60% of the share. Enlight and China Film each invested 20%. The cost budget is 60 million. The preliminary preparations are completed and filming will start in early July. This time, Chen Xi will be the producer."
“Do you trust her so much?”
“Don’t trust her when you hire her, and don’t trust her when you doubt her. She has potential worth cultivating. The shooting period of "Star You" is about two months. How is the negotiation with the commercial advertising department? Already?”
“Armani, LV, and Mercedes-Benz sponsorships have been negotiated, and several beverages and vitamin health products are still following up. At present, it can attract almost 30 million advertising investments.”
"Speed up the progress and continue talking. If we don't have the ability to do anything, the department manager will be replaced directly at the end of the year."
Zhou Yutang was not satisfied with this result.
"Let's Get Married" can attract an advertising investment of 20 to 30 million yuan, and "My Love from the Star" has such a luxurious cast, which is definitely more.
If the company wants to make progress, it still has to continue poaching people.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yutang pretended to mention something with a pen: "There is still a lot of room for maneuver in advertising. You are responsible for following up. , cameras, cosmetics, etc. can be negotiated.”
In fact, it doesn’t matter if the negotiation is not completed. Put some tapes on the trademarks of some products. After the filming of the TV series starts, the post-advertising negotiations will be finalized. The obscured logo is gradually revealed.
Let’s look at the lineup of “My Love from the Star” again.
The male protagonist is Zhou Yutang and the female protagonist is Liu Yifei.
Yang Mi passed the audition for the second female lead. In the play, she was positioned as good best friends with the female lead. However, because she had a crush on the male lead, she was jealous of the female lead, so she was cleared in the end.
The big villain is Cao Ziang, the eldest son of the Cao Group, who has targeted Qin Hao.
This is a very capable actor.
And he is professional enough. After getting the script, he often sends messages to exchange plot and character designs with Zhou Yutang, who is also a drama addict.
The second male lead is the young master of the Cao Group who has a crush on the heroine, and is also the younger brother of the main villain. This role was originally expected to be internally digested and given to Zhang Ruojun. Zhang Ruojun's acting skills have also improved a lot in the past two years, and he He made his debut by playing a warm-hearted image, and playing the second male lead in "Star You" is not inconsistent at all.
However, he passed Feng Xiaogang's audition the day before yesterday and will be joining the cast of "Earthquake" soon, so the schedule cannot be adjusted.
Zhu Yilong is also on the set of "To Youth" and can't spare any time.
Other people’s actors are just picky at home when they don’t have any filming to do. Following Zhou Yutang is the trouble of happiness. There are too many scenes to schedule.
Both Jiangdong Entertainment generals were unavailable, so in the end they had to hold an audition to select people based on their abilities.
Hundreds of actors came to Wuyangyang to audition.
Cao Zizhi, the younger son of the second male lead Cao's consortium, is also the younger brother of the villain Qin Hao.
After several stages of auditions, Wang Kai was finally selected.
King Kaikai is a graduate of Chinese Opera. He is quite handsome and has appeared in several TV series. He is very capable of playing the role of a warm-hearted man and a dog-licker.
In addition, Professor Zhou's good friend and brother Zhou Yutang found Tang Wei's sister's ex-boyfriend Tian Yu.
Tian Yu is a second-level actor in the Tianchao National Theater, and his acting skills are beyond doubt.
However, his character needs to be made older, so as to highlight Zhou Yutang's extraordinary youthfulness and the sharp contrast with the passing of mortal years.
There is also Liu Zian, the younger brother of the heroine, who has a lot of roles, but only one requirement:
Handsome!
After all, Aunt Liu was able to give birth to a peerless beauty like Liu Yiren, so her younger brother would certainly not be too good-looking.
There were also many people who came to the audition. In the end, taking into account comprehensive factors such as age and acting skills, Yang Yang from Lungda and Chen Xiao from Huayi Company had the last laugh.
Zhou Yutang selected Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao is a student in the undergraduate class of the Chinese Opera Department. He is a cheerful and handsome guy with solid basic skills, which is much better than his peers.
He played the role of Bi Shisan, a cold-faced and aloof academic master in "Classmates". He usually acts conscientiously and does not get into trouble. He has been praised by director Lin Yufen, and Zhou Yutang also has a good impression of him.
In addition, the heroine's rival in the plot, another female star, is also very important.
Originally I wanted to ask Zeng Li to make a cameo, but after Magnolia won the TV show, Sister Li was connected to seven or eight endorsements.
There are even top endorsements such as China Unicom, and the upcoming announcements are so full that I can’t spare any time.
Zhou Yutang had no choice but to find Yan Danchen, a senior at the film school, through an audition.
This is Concubine Yang in "The Romance of the Tang Dynasty" and the great beauty Chang'e in "The Lotus Lantern". She also auditioned for Wang Yuyan. Zhou Yutang saw her audition photos and was very impressed.
When it comes to good looks, Yan Danchen is definitely the best.
And he has been popular in the past two years, so he is a good candidate.
The last important role is the mother of the big star Liu Yiren.
Zhou Yutang tentatively invited Aunt Liu for the first time, but she refused directly.
Sister Shuang found it funny: "Yu Tang, what do you think, do you really want Liu Xiaoli to play this role?"
"Nothing else, I think it's appropriate."
"She will be difficult to deal with."
"Don't worry, I will deal with Aunt Liu."
Zhou Yutang is full of confidence .
He did it as soon as he thought of it, and made an appointment with Liu Yifei and Aunt Liu for dinner the next day.
"Yu Tang, please stop trying to persuade me. There is absolutely no way I will take the role." At first, Aunt Liu was very resistant.
"Auntie, Sissi has been working really hard recently and has made a lot of progress."
Zhou Yutang is not in a hurry, his routine is very deep, and he pulled at the beginning Communicating with each other helped eliminate the barriers between everyone, and also weakened Aunt Liu's resistance.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Zhou Yutang always feels that Aunt Liu’s senses about him are very complicated.
On the one hand, he must be grateful, but on the other hand, he looks very closely at Liu Yifei, as if he is afraid that he will eat her
Isn't this misunderstanding too deep?
When it came to Liu Yifei, Aunt Liu's face brightened a little, and she took the initiative and said, "I really want to thank you for Sissi's matter."
In fact, Zhou Yutang could probably figure out Aunt Liu's thoughts.
It’s not that Aunt Liu doesn’t want to act. She has an artistic background and has also played the role of the Queen Mother in "The King of Kung Fu".
However, after that appearance, the movie failed at the box office and received negative reviews, which dealt a heavy blow to Aunt Liu, and she has been disheartened since then.
Hey!
Listening to Zhou Yutang praising herself, Liu Yifei pursed her lips slightly, feeling as sweet as a marshmallow melting in her heart.
It turns out that Xiao Zhou has seen all of his dedication and hard work during this period.
So, she also helped Zhou Yutang to persuade: "Mom, you can act too, Xiao Zhou's script is very good, I think you can try it."
"Sissi, don't go fooling around."
Aunt Liu was very moved, but still refused.
Mature women are determined, but they are much harder to coax than little girls.
Zhou Yutang spent a while and then directly used his trump card: "Aunt Liu, you don't want Sissi to rush into the street just after her first work returns to the public eye, do you?"
"This"< br>
A look of worry suddenly appeared on Aunt Liu's face.
She was originally full of confidence in Liu Yifei. At that time, she felt that as long as she took a step further, she would really be able to break into Hollywood and completely rise to the top.
Unexpectedly, I fell straight from the clouds to the bottom.
Later, Aunt Liu knew what the rules of the game were and what the sinister human heart was.
When Liu Yifei was at the height of her popularity, she was admired by countless people. However, she made a mistake in one movie and her reputation plummeted.
If Zhou Yutang hadn't come forward to deal with Huayi, she might have taken her daughter to Xiangjiang to avoid the limelight, because at that time no one in the entire domestic entertainment industry dared to cooperate with Liu Yifei.
Aunt Liu is always grateful to Zhou Yutang, but she also has her own thoughts: "Yu Tang, it's not that I don't agree, but that my acting skills are really not good and I'm afraid of dragging you down."
< br>"Auntie, you can do it. If you play the role, I am sure that you will be able to better help Sissi get into the role. This is very important to her."
"."
From dinner to supper, Zhou Yutang spent a lot of time talking, his mouth was dry, and he finally managed to deal with Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu said that it was only this time, and in the end she reluctantly accepted the role.
In reality, they are mother and daughter. When they are brought in, they are acting in their true colors. There is no problem at all in bringing Liu Yifei into the play.
After taking care of Aunt Liu, Zhou Yutang directly asked the crew to make final preparations before filming started.
In late June, the second and third seasons of "Born Together" were launched on Mango TV.
In conjunction with the Happy Camp recorded by the main creative team, the ratings on the opening night exceeded that of the first season. This is also positive feedback brought by the long-term good reputation.
In addition, the broadcast time coincided with the summer vacation, and many students who went home during the vacation turned into bullies and occupied the TV sets at home, contributing to a wave of ratings.
If the first season allowed everyone to see what it means to abandon the inherent routines of a youth campus drama, then the second and third seasons are like a real picture, pulling the audience into it.
There are no car accidents and amnesia, nor are there terminal illnesses and abortions.
No rich second generation fell in love with Bai Qiongmei.
There are just characters with different personalities but extremely realistic portrayals.
The male protagonist Lu Qiaochuan, who was criticized miserably in the first season, lost the arrogance of his freshman year and became more mature and responsible in his sophomore and junior years. However, he is still a gentle but gentle person. A kind boy.
Ren Yifan is still the shameless and invincible scumbag little skateboarder in the universe, but he also met his true love, his senior sister, and his heart felt empty for that woman.
The carefree tomboy Zhong Bai is so soft and kind, letting the audience know that even tomboys in love can be shy.
Xiao Haiyang, a tough guy from the Northeast who no longer lives in prison and has moved on from his past love.
Bi Shisan, an almighty academic with a paralyzed face but strong tongue, and Lin Luoxue, a good girl who makes green tea but makes people feel distressed.
There are also Gu Yixin, who is dedicated to making money, and Li Shuci, who gradually becomes brave from a gentle little white flower
This group drama continues the style of the first season, and the theme of growth is mixed with daily fun. and warm little things, each character is portrayed in a profound and down-to-earth manner.
The audience can more or less find themselves or the people around them in this drama.
"Still so joyful, so carefree, but also full of touching youth."
"The needle won't poke you! Ren Yifan should be as scummy as he is, and as affectionate as possible. How affectionate.”
"It is indeed a magical drama. Real college life is like this, silly and joyful. When watching this drama, I seem to be looking in the mirror."
"Wow, Lin Luoxue's growing environment is too It’s difficult, no wonder she feels insecure and wants to hold Tangtang in her arms.”
“Doesn’t anyone think the tomboy Zhong Bai played by Yang Mi is also cute?”
"Zhou Yutang adds drama to Li Yao in the fourth season! Li Yao is invincible! Support Qinbao in vain!"
"How many relationships has this old thief Zhou Yutang had to fall in love before he understands youth so well?"
"Zhou Yutang, the god of youth dramas!"
Zhou Yutang skillfully switched on his vest and began to read comments in various online forums.
The Douban score for season 2 is 9.2, and the score for season 3 is 9.3.
The scores are very stable.
However, the current number of people scoring are basically fans who came after "Classmate 1", so the scores will be relatively high.
When more and more viewers watch it later, there will definitely be dissatisfaction, and the score will naturally drop by then, but no matter what, the lower limit is not estimated to be too low.
"Sister Shuang, how are the ratings?"
"After the first week, the highest ratings have exceeded 4.8, and the market share has reached 11.8, which is higher than the first season."< br>
Market share refers to the ratio of the number of viewers watching "Classmates" to the total number of viewers during the same period.
With the development of the Internet, it is difficult to see ratings that can't break 10 as before. However, in recent years, survey data have become more and more detailed, and market share is also a very important statistic.
"Not bad, barely a hit."
Zhou Yutang observed the ratings for the same period and nodded with satisfaction.
Follow this trend.
If nothing else happens, "Classmate" is basically invincible in the same period.
It is worthy of the title of a classic youth campus drama that is highly praised by netizens.
The so-called classic.
Just like "Want to See You" and "Those Years", even in a few years, some people will read it and feel good after watching it.
This drama is worth it.
