Chapter 188 The Three Great Movie Kings, the Appointment of the National Master
“Let Brother Fa laugh.”
The exchange was very pleasant, but Brother Fa mentioned the letter, and Zhou Yutang was a little embarrassed. Because it was almost mistaken by Fa Ge as a love letter.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Zhang Yi also took the initiative to say hello.
He was recommended to join the cast by Zhou Yutang. In "Let the Bullets Fly" he played the role of Liuzi, the unlucky guy who was forced to commit seppuku by Hu Wan played by Chen Kun to prove that he had only eaten a bowl of rice noodles.
Originally, Zhang Guoli wanted to insert his son Zhang Mo into the crew to play this role, but then National Film and Television opened another youth campus love TV series called "Love Corner", and specially invited the popular nowadays Chen Qiaoen, the sweet girl from the province, became the heroine and promoted her son.
Zhang Yi knew that he was recommended to join the group by Zhou Yutang, so he was naturally grateful.
Before, he mostly acted in TV series, and the opportunity to star in movies is very rare.
Zhou Yutang has seen his performances in "Soldier Assault" and "My Captain, My Regiment", and quite recognized his acting skills,
"Do good work and have the opportunity to cooperate."
There are many big-name seniors in the crew. The third child played by Liao Fan and Feng Xiaogang also have a role in it, but the little steel cannon man is not present.
After greeting everyone one by one, I sat down and chatted with the production team, and by the way, I got to know Jiang Wen’s golden partner Ma Ke.
The eight-year-old son of Ma Bangde, who plays the role in the play, enthusiastically invited Zhou Yutang to exchange experiences in film and television dramas.
It didn’t take long for the two of them to become familiar with each other.
"Yu Tang, let me tell you, for the next scene to be filmed, a winery came up with a 1,000W product placement that only appeared for a few seconds. Lao Jiang rejected it without even thinking about it, alas."
< br>When Marco said this, he beat his chest and showed great regret.
Ten million.
It’s not a thousand dollars.
Jiang Wen is in charge of filming, he doesn’t care about that, he is only responsible for making money.
Marco is a veteran in the industry with strong abilities. He knows that Zhou Yutang recovered the cost of filming "My Love from the Star" by relying on advertisements, and he admires Zhou Yutang quite a lot.
Like Zhou Yutang, who can make money by making movies and TV series, he is simply a god.
"Brother Ma, you really shouldn't do this. It can easily make the audience upset."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.
This Hongmen Banquet, where the three major movie stars compete, is the most exciting scene in the entire film and should not be messed with.
Movies are somewhat different from TV series. Movies require the audience to pay, while TV series can have dozens of episodes. The audience only needs to turn on the TV to watch. If the technique is clever, it can be completely implanted without trace.
For example, the cosmetics used by Liu Yifei in "My Love from the Star" look very natural.
But a movie is only two hours long at most, and every detail is crucial, so naturally you can’t mess with it casually.
Just in time, the crew was filming the Hongmen Banquet where the three movie kings shared the stage. Zhou Yutang also became interested and sat behind the monitor to watch Jiang Wen's shooting techniques.
At the banquet.
Jiang Wen and Zhou Runfa changed cups and cups, and there was something hidden in every word they said.
Ge You has been pretending to be confused, talking about money in every sentence, and making money in every sentence, but when it comes to US dollars, he pretends not to understand.
But when it came to suppressing bandits, Zhou Runfa said that he had a relationship with Zhang Mazi twenty years ago.
Jiang Wen's identity was vaguely revealed here, but Jiang Wen remained calm and calm.
Jiang Wen pretended to be confused and asked: "Is there such a fate? So where does it come from?"
"The lights were dim, and he suddenly looked back, but I was hiding in the shadow of the lamp!"
"One in the light and the other in the dark?"
The expression on Ge You's face was just right, and Zhou Runfa Squinting his eyes, he raised a finger, like an old owl: "Shh! Be quiet!"
Jiang Wenqing asked: "So, at that time?"
"Exactly at this time. At this moment!”
Zhou Runfa stared at Jiang Wen, his eyelids drooping, but his eyes were meaningful.
“Click, do it again!”
But Jiang Wen looked back at the effect, holding the crumpled script paper, frowning, feeling that it was slightly flawed and the taste was wrong.
He has his own pursuits in filming.
Only such perfectionistic pursuit of excellence can create a classic.
In fact, the lines in this scene are worthy of careful consideration.
While Zhou Yutang was enjoying himself, he also heard the sound of money burning crazily.
In order to film this scene, Jiang Wen built a circular track and purchased three new large cameras. Each camera required five people to control it, and they had to constantly face the three movie stars in 360 degrees during the movement. Rotate the shot.
Just this scene.
In order to achieve the best effect, Jiang Wen used more than 100,000 feet of film, which totaled over one million!
However, these three movie kings also contributed extremely wonderful acting skills. It was really enjoyable for Zhou Yutang to watch and he also learned a lot.
Zhou Yutang stayed on the set for a few days and saw the completion of the Hongmen Banquet of the three major movie stars before returning to the capital.
As soon as I arrived at the company, I unexpectedly received a phone call,
"Old Hu, why did you call me?"
"This is not what Shi said. Are you so disappointed with the call from Shi?" Lao Hu seemed to be in a good mood and even made a joke.
"I just got off the phone with Shi Shi. Her drama is about to be finished."
"."
Hu Ge was probably speechless. After a long while, he said: "Your " "Star You" is too cruel. Fortunately, my drama has been postponed."
"Myth"
Zhou Yutang suddenly realized.
Hu Ge's "Myth" was originally expected to be released on CCTV in early January.
But at the time when "My Love from the Star" was so powerful, it was jointly broadcast by the three major TV stations: Mango, Magic City, and Jiangsu Province.
No other satellite TV station in the country dares to test its edge. With such a huge hit phenomenon-level TV series that can only be seen blindly, CCTV will naturally not hesitate to let "Myth" hit it head on.
So the broadcast of Hu Ge's "Myth" was postponed until the end of "My Love from the Star".
A TV series that can be broadcast on CCTV, "Myth" itself is also an S-level TV series. It successfully succeeded "My Love from the Star" and dominated the TV series market in the entire second half of January.
However, the character of Hu Ge's male protagonist Yi Xiaochuan in the play is not very good, and it can even be said to be very troublesome.
On the contrary, Gao Yao, who climbed up from the bottom and became a black man, gave the audience a big surprise,
“You are noble, you are amazing!”
“Everyone in the world is Bully me because I am honest and weak. I just want to reach the highest level step by step. I don’t want others to bully me anymore. I want to be Zhao Gao, one person below others and Zhao Gao above ten thousand people!”
< br>…………………………
Back in the capital, Zhou Yutang participated in two Spring Festival Gala rehearsals.
The main thing in the front is the program review, and it passed easily. This is the person named by the leader, and the song "Where Has the Time Gone" is really good.
During the rehearsal, I met the host by the way. The host of this year’s Spring Festival Gala is Zhou Tao, Zhu Jun, Zhang Zequn, Dong Qing, Ouyang Xiadan and Ren Luyu.
Zhou Yutang had dealt with Ren Luyu and Dong Qing at the award ceremony before.
Sister Dong Qing enthusiastically introduced him to the others, and Zhou Yutang even signed autographs for Zhou Tao and others.
Professor Zhou was so popular that several female hosts were staring at Zhou Yutang.
I have to say, Sister Tao is really beautiful.
After the rehearsal, Zhou Yutang and his team of assistants were about to leave, but they heard a familiar voice,
" Wow, isn’t this my brother?”
“Aren’t you MM?”
"Uh-huh."
"How did you come here?"
"I'm here to participate in a performance."
Zhou Yutang stopped and didn't move. Watching the rehearsal program in the lounge.
Seeing Jia Lin wearing a white shirt, short skirt, long boots and a burgundy vest, holding teacher Bai Kainan's hand and jumping around coquettishly, Zhou Yutang really couldn't help laughing at such a visually impactful scene. Make a sound.
"A skit?"
Mao Xiaoyu also took a look inside, his pupils shaking.
"Zhou Yutang?"
The rehearsal of the show was over, Jia Lin probably heard the movement outside, and her face was filled with surprise. Zhou Yutang smiled slightly: "Hello, Jia Lin, long time no see, you seem to have lost a little weight."
"Have you?"
Jia Lin said proudly: "It's not bad, I've only lost a dozen pounds. You've been very popular recently."
The two chatted briefly at the door. Zhou Yutang had a schedule, so he withdrew first.
On the other hand, Bai Kainan, who is also a disciple of Feng Hu, said with some envy: "Lingzi, do you still know Zhou Yutang?"
"Yeah."
Jia Lin nodded: "Have you never seen "Want to See You"? I acted in it."
I thought about how at that time, I was forced by life and had to work as a supporting role on the set to support my family. Now I am focusing on Crosstalk, for the first time in my life, I appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
I was a little proud at first, but when I thought of Zhou Yutang again, all those arrogant thoughts disappeared.
This guy is progressing too fast.
Compared to him, who are you?
Professor Zhou is the dream of hundreds of millions of girls, and he is still a little Karami.
Ouch!
Jia Lin slapped her forehead.
I just remembered Shale and forgot to ask for Zhou Yutang’s autograph and photo.
…………………………
"Sister Zhou Xun, hello."
"Yifei, hello."
Liu Yifei greeted politely, Zhou Xun's eyes quickly looked between Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei Turning around in a circle, a meaningful and playful smile appeared on his face.
To be honest, the two women must have met each other in some activities before, but they were not familiar with each other, and neither of them were outgoing in front of strangers. At most, they were nodding acquaintances.
But with Zhou Yutang in the middle, Mr. Zhou took the initiative to express his kindness: "Yifei, you and Yu Tang's "My Love from the Star" were really great. I have been following it these days. .”
Liu Yifei is also very sensible: "Sister Xun, you did a good job in "Li Mi's Conjecture"."
The two women quickly closed the distance.
"Yu Tang, I have to thank you for what happened last time."
With Liu Yifei here, Mr. Zhou touched the cigarette case and found that he didn't smoke after all. When he saw Zhou Yutang, his eyes fell on her In his hands, he couldn't help but smile.
“What’s going on?”
"Yu Tang asked me to buy some Huayi stocks."
Zhou Xun felt a little happy when he thought about it.
After listening to Zhou Yutang's words, I bought some initial shares of Huayi Company. This time I directly made tens of millions of dollars. This was probably the reason why I invited guests to dinner today.
"Little things."
Zhou Yutang raised the tea cup and took a sip: "Sister Xun, have you and Mr. Wang reached an agreement?"
< br>
"It's settled. When the contract expires this year, I will leave for free and then set up my own studio."
Zhou Xun shrugged his shoulders, as if saying something trivial: "Yes. "Yeah, I'm quite interested in that acting school you mentioned. How do you do it?"
She held her chin in her hand, and Liu Yifei looked at Zhou Yutang with her beautiful eyes unblinking.
“Teaching in stages. In the early stage, we will start with professional actor classes to help actors with existing acting experience solve problems in acting practice. Later, depending on the situation, we will add newbie classes and professional actor advanced classes.”
Zhou Yutang explained the thoughts in his mind. Zhou Xun nodded repeatedly and said seriously: "I think it's very exciting. If we join forces, we can definitely make it big."
Stop pretending, sister.
You have no business talent at all.
The corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly: "Anyway, let's do this for now, and we will look at the other things later."
In fact, Fan Xiaopang started an acting school after Huanzhu became popular. She became the principal at the age of 21.
After going out to work on her own, Fan Xiaopang's studio invested in the TV series "Rouge Snow" and "Golden Class", and the supporting characters in the TV series "Rouge Snow" and "Golden Class" were almost all students from the school. , but it didn’t cause any splash.
But Zhou Yutang is not doing this to make money, it is a private acting tutorial.
This is the inspiration I got from Liu Yifei and Jing Tian. In addition to the professional acting courses in school, if you get some guidance from famous teachers, it will be useful for actors who are just starting out or have limitations in their acting skills. The group is indeed very helpful.
Liu Yifei wants to make progress.
Zhou Yutang helped her.
By the way, artists from my own company can also be sent there to study hard. Brother Long dreams of improving his acting skills.
In addition, you can also see if there are any good seedlings worth cultivating.
I have been talking to Mr. Zhou about the acting school for a while, and it is tentatively decided that the two of them will fund it together, with each person taking half.
After having a pleasant meal by the way, Zhou Yutang got up and wanted to leave when he saw that it was almost time.
"Let's do this for now, I have something to do later."
"Hey, what's going on, leaving a beauty like Yifei here?" Zhou Xun joked .
"Meet Zhang Yimou."
"Huh?"
Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment, and Liu Yifei explained in a low voice: "Sister Xun, Director Zhang asked him to talk about the new play."< br>
I have to say.
Some people are really naturally energetic.
For example, Lao Mouzi was probably really unconvinced. Not long after "Three Guns" was completed, the team released news that they would soon restart the previously completed "Hawthorn Tree Love" and start a nationwide of casting.
The last time the hype about asking Zhou Yutang to star in "Three Guns" was pure hype, but this time Zhou Yutang really received the contract for "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", so he came specially to meet Lao Mouzi.
"Director Zhang, why are you looking for me?"
"Your temperament is very clean, I think you are very suitable for this role."
Zhang Yimou is wearing a black sweater, Holding his elbow with one hand and his chin with the other, he looked at Zhou Yutang, nodded slightly as if it were imperceptible, and smiled:
"Yu Tang, you can read the book first,"
He asked Zhou Yutang to play the leading actor Sun Jianxin in "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".
Zhou Yutang took over the script that was not too thick on the table.
He reads the script very quickly, and this script is also very simple. It tells the whole process of the heroine Jingqiu and the hero meeting, getting to know each other, getting to know each other, and getting separated.
Well, a pure and clean love story.
But it ends in tragedy, just like hawthorn, beautiful and moving, but tasting sour.
Zhou Yutang closed the script and shook his head slightly: "Director Zhang, this is a very good story, but my schedule is already full and I may not have time until the middle of the year."
" I want to use a new actress as the heroine, and I may wait until the second half of the year to start shooting. It’s totally in time.”
Zhang Yimou pondered a little, and said in a tone of expectation: “If it doesn’t work, I can adjust the shooting time.”< br>
The national teacher is very sincere, and Zhou Yutang is also quite honest: "Director Zhang, I'm really sorry, but I actually have a movie script in my hand, and I may have to wait until next year to start filming, so..."
The script of "Hawthorn Tree Love" is good.
Lao Mouzi and his own lineup are also considered to be luxurious and top-notch, and the box office will definitely not be low when the time comes.
But Zhou Yutang is already at the ceiling of youth films, and he will not be able to improve if he plays this type of role again.
Having said this, Zhang Yimou also understood it, but his self-cultivation was extraordinary after all. He asked politely: "What type of story is your book?"
"A person from the bottom of society. The story of a little Sir who overturned a big man who could cover the sky with one hand. ”
"It's a very interesting subject."
The Imperial Master's eyelids twitched slightly, and he seemed to be a little curious. He asked about the script. When the show was over, he stood up and shook hands with Zhou Yutang. His smile remained the same:
"You I have watched every drama of yours and I am looking forward to this work of yours.”
“Xiao Zhou, did you really refuse?”
“Yes.”
"I told Sister Xun that you would definitely refuse, and I was right."
I received a call from Liu Tianxian in the evening, and his voice was soft and sweet, which was very annoying.
Liu Tianxian is very happy to have met a new friend, who is also the winner of three gold medals in Best Actress.
The main reason is that she feels that Zhou Yutang opened this acting school because of Mr. Zhou whom she introduced.
That wonderful feeling of being cared about.
Not to mention how sweet it was in her heart.
