Chapter 233: Fairies, big and small, choice is greater than hard work
Bang bang bang!
After performing this scene, the audience burst into applause.
"Mr. Zhou, your acting skills are really amazing!"
Xu Guangtou's eyes lit up at first, then he was startled, and then expressed his exclamation and praise.
The expression is just right, and the emotion is expressed so smoothly.
It almost doesn’t taste like that at all.
Zhou Yutang is already used to it.
Hou Yong, Wang Xuexi, Fan Wei, Li Xuejian, Lin Yongjian and other veteran actors were also watching from the side.
After watching the scene where Zhou Yutang played the role of the great Duke Zhou, everyone nodded and praised him. He is truly outstanding.
Even though he was as thick-skinned as Zhou Yutang, he was a little embarrassed.
The older and more handsome Liu Dehua plays Cai E in this drama. He is wearing a military uniform and looks quite heroic. He also came to join in the fun and gave a thumbs up and praised:
" Ah Tang is worthy of being the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actor, he is so sharp!”
“No way, he is far worse than Brother Hua.”
Zhou Yutang has also interacted with Liu Dehua several times. , we had a good conversation: "By the way, Brother Hua, I have a female artist here who has a role with you. Please take care of her when the time comes."
Liu Dehua put his arms around Zhou Yutang's shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your people will definitely be taken care of."
After Liu Dehua, Zhou Yutang greeted these seniors one by one.
Then I went behind the monitor to check out the shooting effect.
Director Huang Jianxing was also very satisfied, and Han Sanping even smiled so hard that his mouth almost reached behind his ears.
For blockbusters like this with the main theme, the plot follows history and is very bland.
Publicity stunts are important.
I saw the segment performed by Zhou Yutang just now.
He knows what to do when the time comes to preview and publicize.
Last year, Zhou Yutang, Chen Kun and others' lineup of handsome National Army men caused widespread discussion on the Internet. This year, a similar wave of publicity can be launched.
Chiang Kai-shek on the Nationalist side is played by Zhang Zhen.
Our army has Zhou Yutang here, who dares to fight?
Zhou Yutang is still the most popular in domestic entertainment.
As long as he is around, the popularity will be inevitable.
Also.
Liu Dehua, Wang Lihong, Wu Yanzu and others are also handsome guys.
Also, the Northeastern King who looks like an older version of Mr. Chen can also be considered a handsome man, right?
Han Sanping has a lot of ideas in his mind. Even before the movie is finished, he is happily thinking about publicity plans.
Over there, the Northeastern King had already approached Zhou Yutang with a smile: "Yu Tang, your performance is very good. The Best Actor is not in vain."
"I still need to learn more from Teacher Zhao."
Zhou Yutang also maintained the necessary respect and humility towards the Northeast King.
After leaving Shanhaiguan, I came to Shantou if I had anything to do.
For the 20th consecutive year on the Spring Festival Gala stage, the King of Northeast China is by no means a wasted reputation.
"You are so humble."
The words "Teacher Zhao" from the upstart entertainment industry capital also made the Northeast King feel very proud, and his attitude became more and more enthusiastic: "Yu Tang, I heard that you That movie "Big Shot" will be released next month?"
"Well, what advice does Mr. Zhao have?"
"I dare not give you advice. You are an expert in the film and television industry. I want to ask you for more advice."
The Northeast King patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Didn't Feng Xiaogang talk about his life some time ago? Is it perfect? You have to try to make it less perfect. You can set another box office record."
"Director Feng's record is not easy to break."
Zhou Yutang felt a little sweat in his heart, but on his face. His expression remained unchanged: "I heard that Mr. Zhao also made a movie, maybe there is a chance."
It is understandable that the Northeast King has resentment towards Xiaogangpao.
During the award ceremony, the little steel cannon fired randomly. The Northeast King came on stage and gave him a slap in the face. The always arrogant little steel cannon could only keep its tail between its legs.
"That movie "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes" was just a joke, as long as it doesn't lose money."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yutang has heard of his own movie, Northeastern King I'm very happy and don't have any airs:
"I am an amateur in this industry, and you are doing very well. I will learn more from you in the future and learn how to work in the film and television industry."
"Everyone communicates with each other."
They left each other private numbers. During the days when Zhou Yutang was on the set, the Northeast King often came to Zhou Yutang to talk about the film and television industry.
As he gets older, he may really have the idea of quitting his career and changing his career behind the scenes.
"Yu Tang, are you familiar with the Northeast King? I just saw him looking for you."
On this day, Zhou Yutang was resting, and Fan Xiaopang, who had just joined the group not long ago I found him.
“What kind of king of the Northeast?”
Zhou Yutang said sternly: "That is Teacher Zhao, who is both virtuous and artistic."
Fan Xiaopang played the role of Empress Dowager Longyu, the empress of Emperor Guangxu, in the play. Even Zhou Runfa, who played Yuan Shikai, knelt down to her.
The shape is beautiful and domineering.
The key point is that Fan Xiaopang, who is at the peak of his career this year, has fully maintained his aura.
“Virtue.”
Fan Xiaopang had cooperated with Zhou Yutang many times and knew a lot about this man with big breasts, so he rolled his eyes in a charming way.
It was not her turn to play at this moment, so she sat and chatted with Zhou Yutang: "You know, he is rich. He said he wanted to bring his apprentice to participate in the show. He just spent 200 million to buy it this year. A private jet."
"After so many years."
Zhou Yutang smiled: "I have this strength and confidence."
"Look at Weibo. No, Master Wang is still mocking me, haha"
The young master Fan Xiaopang is talking about is Wang Xiaocong, a classmate of Prince Wanda. He has been very active on the Internet recently. He once commented harshly on Weibo that the king of Northeast China is a farmer who is playing tricks.
A strong sense of superiority.
A few generations back, whose ancestors were not farmers?
Zhou Yutang has never judged heroes based on their origins. Zhu Yuanzhang started with a bowl and conquered the Ming Dynasty.
He has always had respect for capable people.
Being able to make it from a farmer to this point further illustrates the Northeast King's ability.
Even Xiaopang Fan was criticized by his classmate Wang Xiaocong and has no works since then. He just relies on being a rugby star.
Teacher Fan’s reply was also very sharp: “You rely on your father, and I rely on my work. We help each other.”
The rapid rise of Wanda is directly proportional to the speed of classmate Wang Xiaocong’s firing. .
Many celebrities in the industry have been criticized by him, but his evaluation of Zhou Yutang is relatively positive.
On the one hand, it's because Zhou Yutang's relationship is complicated and involves a wide range of things, and even Wanda can speak out. On the other hand, Zhou Yutang has a lot of scandals, and he really relies on his works to speak for himself.
The first promotional video of "Big Shot" caused an uproar on the Internet. Someone who wanted to do something good called @王小cong classmate. As a result, classmate Wang Xiaocong posted on Weibo and said:
"The trailer was shot Very good, but I really don’t play like this.”
Although Wang Gongzi is the top rich second generation in the country, his only hobbies in life are playing games, going to nightclubs, and watching online trolling. People who are used to it, and then they have sex with young models, and they really haven’t done anything harmful
“By the way, Yu Tang, how much do you think the box office of “Big Shot” is?”
Fan Xiaopang held his delicate cheeks with his hands and was very concerned about this question: "Is there any hope of breaking the box office record of "Earthquake"?"
"The movie has not been released yet, how do I know?"
"I have great confidence in you. I still owe you two conditions. This time it will be the third one."
Fan Xiaopang patted his plump chest and bit his lip: "If the box office breaks the record, I will listen to you no matter what you ask me to do."
That flattering attitude is almost dripping with water.
Zhou Yutang adjusted his sitting posture: "What if it's not broken?"
"In that case, the first two times will cancel it out."
Fan Xiaopang blinked slyly, as if he was very familiar with it. A vixen.
"Yu Tang, Yan Bao went to another group to film."
"Well, is it almost time for your scene?"
Looking at Yang Mi who had put on a cheongsam and had her hair styled into a big bun, Zhou Yutang's eyes paused slightly on the astonishing curvature of Da Mi Mi.
I have to say.
Yang Mi’s figure looks really good in a cheongsam.
And she also exactly restored the true age of Xiao Fengxian in the play.
After specially applying makeup, I am not only gorgeous and charming, but also a bit pure and playful.
Even Fan Xiaopang glanced at her several times.
Fan Xiaopang is a real human spirit. One look at the look in Yang Mi’s eyes at Zhou Yutang, and he vaguely understood. He touched Zhou Yutang’s body with his hand:
“Okay, this The little vixen looks at you with a hook."
"Don't talk nonsense, or I will sue you for defamation."
"Okay, okay, it's time for me to play my part with you. Go sweet little vixen.”
The manager came over and called her, but Fan Xiaopang smacked her butt and ran away.
"What are you talking about, little vixen?"
Yang Mi has very good ears. She glanced at Fan Xiaopang Pingping Tingting's graceful back and curled her lips: "Walking like this, I don’t even know who the vixen is.”
“.”
Zhou Yutang could feel that when Damimi met Fan Xiaopang, it was like meeting a natural enemy.
Intentionally or unintentionally, there is a vague hostility.
No way.
Although Yang Mi has grown up a lot, she is still a little immature compared to the top actress Fan Xiaopang.
But it is not without its advantages.
Fan Xiaopang’s beauty is better than Yang Mi’s.
Both women have their own advantages in figure, but when it comes to aura, Fan Xiaopang, who is at the peak of her career, is probably the plus version of Yang Mi.
“How do you feel after taking pictures these days?”
“I was a little nervous before coming here, but then I realized that no one cared about me at all, so I let go.”
Yang Mi shrugged her shoulders, her voice a little sweet: "Yu Tang, have you said hello to Liu Tianwang? He seems to take good care of me."
"I mentioned it."
Zhou Yutang smiled: "You are from Jiangdong Entertainment, perform well and don't embarrass me."
"Don't worry, I spent a lot of time doing my homework, and I specifically asked Liu Tianchi from the company for advice Teacher, you can definitely play this role well.”
After being stimulated by Fan Xiaopang, Yang Mi seemed to be very expressive, and she straightened up her breasts, looking full of confidence.
Soon came Yang Mi’s scene.
Zhou Yutang watched Yang Mi’s scene behind the monitor.
The scene where Xiao Fengxian, played by her, and warlord Cai E, played by Andy Lau, farewell at a train station is quite classic in history. Damimi started acting when she was 4 years old. She graduated from Beijing Film Academy. Her acting skills are solid. After a while of emotions brewing, she burst into tears.
No problem.
The scene passed smoothly.
Liu Dehua also took the initiative to find Zhou Yutang and praised Damimi: "Ah Tang, Yang Mi did a good job."
"Just force it. It's all up to Brother Hua to take care of it. You can't handle complex emotions."
"Your requirements are so high. I think her acting skills are pretty good among young actresses of this generation." "
Liu Dehua shook his head: "Let me tell you, when I was filming some time ago, I encountered a very exaggerated young actress, and she couldn't even finish a crying scene for a long time. "
“Is the crying scene so difficult?”
“That is to say, it’s so outrageous, I just stare, I can’t even cry, even eye drops are useless, I have to use tear gas sticks, my whole body Everyone was shocked.”
"."
Zhou Yutang had the same shocked expression on his face as Liu Dehua.
As capital pours into the film and television industry, the lower limit of acting skills will become lower and lower.
The essence of the entertainment industry is the realization of exposure.
As long as there is exposure and traffic, no matter how poor your acting skills are, you can still make money. Why do celebrities who are not enterprising have to work hard to improve their acting skills?
Zhou Yutang stayed in "The Great Cause of Party Building" for a week and completed it.
His part was over quickly, and then he got back into promoting the movie.
But also at this time.
"Bongtian Empire" produced by Huayi and directed by Xu Ke was shortlisted for the main competition in Venice. After the news came out, the industry was shocked.
This film ranked very high among the twenty-four participating films and received high praise from film critics.
"This film is wild enough and gives people a stunning feeling."
"This is the best-looking Chinese-language film that has been selected or competed at the Venice Film Festival in the past three years."
Film critics really scored very high, and Huayi also took advantage of the situation and issued a wave of media releases, boosting the stock price. Even Bona began to take advantage of the situation and began to hype "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" directed by Xu Ke.
Somehow the news came out that Zhou Yutang and Jet Li will co-star in this 3D martial arts masterpiece directed by Xu Ke.
After participating in a variety show, Zhou Yutang was blocked by an entertainment reporter just after participating in a variety show: "Yu Tang, are you about to star in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" with Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li?"
< br>
"I have indeed been in contact, but unfortunately, my schedule cannot be coordinated."
"Then what are your plans next?"
"Haha, "Big Shot" will be released soon. I hope everyone will support this movie."
Zhou Yutang was in a good mood and also promoted "Big Shot".
Zhu Yilong went to try Yuhuatian, but was not selected in the end. Bona used Chen Kun, who had just left Ludongda when his contract expired.
For this reason, Wang Wei from Bona Pictures made a special call to Zhou Yutang to explain the situation.
Zhou Yutang didn’t take it to heart.
Although he is very popular in the industry, he does not cover the sky with one hand. Of course, Bona Pictures must also consider its own interests when employing people.
Although Brother Long has risen rapidly in recent times, compared to Chen Kun, who has won the Best Actor Award after many years since his debut, he still lacks some background.
Especially Chen Kun's slightly feminine handsomeness is indeed more suitable for the role of Yu Huatian than Zhu Yilong.
but.
Yang Mi actually got Chang Xiaowen for that drama.
Arrogant and willful, enchanting.
Damimi played this role perfectly.
After receiving the news that she had passed the audition, Yang Mi immediately shared her joy with her agent Zeng Jia: "Sister Jia, I got that role!"
"It's getting better."
"It's really different from before."
Zeng Jia also sighed sincerely: "It's better to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade."
This was previously placed in Rongda.
Even if she broke her leg while running, Yang Mi would never have had the chance to star in a top-notch big-budget movie.
But after following Zhou Yutang, his casual words gave Yang Mi access to resources that countless female stars would envy.
"Mimi, in this circle, it is really important to have someone to support you."
"Well, making the right choice is more important than working hard."
>
This is also a truth that Yang Mi has only recently realized after being in the circle for so many years.
Zeng Jia was in a good mood and said: "You should find a chance to thank Mr. Zhou. He really takes good care of you."
The agency contract she signed with Jiangdong Entertainment is completely related to Yang Mi's development.
The better Yang Mi develops, the more benefits she will get.
“I know it well.”
Yang Mi also nodded. Under the excitement, Damimi also trembled slightly: ""Painted Skin 2" and "Dragon Flying Swords" "This is just the beginning, I will definitely become more popular in the future."
While the two were in the nanny car heading to the next announcement location, Zeng Jia received a bunch of congratulatory text messages from her peers.
Some wanted to congratulate them, while others wanted to use their agent Zeng Jia to join the Jiangdong Entertainment line. If there were any roles here in the future, they could get the news in advance and conduct public relations operations.
“When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.”
Zeng Jia feels this way now.
Zhou Yutang soared up alone. She was just a pawn following behind, waving flags and shouting, but her reputation soared.
Everyone has his own circle.
Zeng Jia was making excuses with her agent friends, and Yang Mi also shared her joy with her bestie Tang Yan:
"Tangtang, I got the role in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", hahahaha! ”
Followed by a series of happy and laughing emoticons.
After receiving this news, Tang Yan should be happy for her sisters, but for some reason she felt very uncomfortable.
After being stunned for several minutes, he reluctantly replied:
"Congratulations, Mimi."
"Tangtang, how are you doing lately?"
"Not bad, I got a drama."
"Sounds good. , let’s work together.”
“Yeah.”
After a brief chat, Tang Yan threw her phone aside and began to have random thoughts in her mind.
Where did Yang Mi get her film resources?
Isn’t it the resources that Zhou Yutang helped him get after signing with Jiangdong Entertainment?
Tang Yan remembered that she also appeared in "Big Shot", and there seemed to be a seed sprouting in her heart
The promotion of "Big Shot" was in full swing, and I saw the new picture released by "Big Shot" The first trailer was a hit, and not to be outdone, a two-minute trailer for "The Hawthorn Tree" was released in August.
Among the static stills released at the beginning, Zhu Yilong received unanimous praise. Brother Long's image and temperament are outstanding and he has a certain fan base.
On the other hand, the little yellow duck as the new Mou Girl has been criticized a lot. Many viewers think that such an ordinary girl can also be a Mou Girl. The Imperial Master is wrong this time. Some people think that in that era The girl should be as thin and weak as a little yellow duck
But when this trailer came out, it caused more controversy than the previously released still photos.
Netizens were full of praise,
“I didn’t expect Zhu Yilong’s acting skills to be so good.”
"Guo Shi's eyesight is pretty good and he can see people very accurately, and Zhou Dongyu's performance is also good."
"I cried completely after watching the trailer. Guo Shi is still one of the top three directors with profound skills."
The outside world spoke highly of "The Hawthorn Tree", and Zhang Weiping also started to blast: "I think this movie has the opportunity to become a classic love film in the film industry. If it is selected for the Oscar, it has a good chance of winning the award."
The Oscar winner this year is Xiaogangpao's "Earthquake". Xiaogangpao was probably unhappy with Zhang Weiping and fired in front of the media.
The circle was very lively for a while.
There is also a National Day movie "Fist of Fury: Chen Zhen" invested by Enlight, starring Donnie Yen, who has become a huge hit after the "Ip Man" series. It is also widely publicized, claiming to be the Chinese version of a superhero.
""Inception" was released in early September and had little impact. The pattern of the National Day release will be obvious next."
"The main opponent is Guoshi's "Hawthorn Tree Love" ", Universe Dan's "Jing Wu Fengyun·Chen Zhen", and Huayi's "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire" ""Big Shot" is released at the end of the month. There are no films of the same type, so it is the National Day. The beginning of the holiday."
The manager of the film business department simply made a report: "Mr. Zhou, do you want to do some screenings?"
"You make the arrangements."
Screening means inviting professional media and film critics to watch movies that have not yet been officially released.
Zhou Yutang is very confident in the quality of "Big Shot" and can use this kind of advance screening to build a reputation and ensure that the good reputation will continue after it is released.
The reputation of a movie is very important, and it will affect the scheduling of the movie to some extent.
“Variety show promotion, online marketing promotion, offline advertising, cinema billboards, and trailer placement have all been arranged.”
The manager of the film business department smiled and said: "Hu Jun and Mei Ting have already been notified. Fan Binbin has a very busy schedule and has only made appointments for a few important variety shows. Tang Yan can cooperate. Anyway, it will be hard for Mr. Zhou to work on variety shows this month." There will be more publicity on the show."
Compared with other National Day rivals, "Big Shot" also has the most popular trump card in Zhou Yutang.
"Well, we have a lot of variety shows this month."
Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead: "As for the film arrangement, I will communicate."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou.”
"Yu Tang, haven't you been to the Magic City for a long time?"
"It's been a while since you've been here."
The familiar Magic City, the familiar back seat of the luxury Mercedes-Benz, Tian Ming personally came to pick him up at the airport and told Zhou Yutang about his business trip in Europe.
After "The Voice" was broadcast in the UK and the Netherlands, it also became a phenomenon.
Tian Ming takes this matter very seriously, and basically makes a trip there every month to communicate with the team there.
Tian Ming was so angry that he was itching his teeth: "The Jewish guys at NBC in the United States are really cunning. They agreed on a fixed price of 8 million US dollars and directly bought out the copyright of the entire program. We talked for a long time and refused to let go."
"This price is too low."
Zhou Yutang shook his head.
The total dividends for a season of programs in the UK and the Netherlands exceed 9 figures. How can they accept the buyout price offered by the American countrymen?
"Let's hang on to it for now. He's not the only TV station over there. "Big Shot" will have a road show when it comes out. I'll go there almost next month."
Zhou Yutang thought of Liu Tianxian who had finished his itinerary announcement and was studying there, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a slight and gentle arc.
"By the way, Brother Ming, I brought you some specialties from Northern Xinjiang. Have you been working overtime at night recently?"
"Working overtime."
"Recent company affairs Not much, why don’t you spend more time with Zhu Jie?”
“You will understand this problem when you are thirty.”
Tian Ming first moved the bag to his feet, patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Yu Tang, a man must put his career first. You are now on the rise of your career. Don't let women distract you."< br>
