Chapter 263: Failed to behead men, dedicated to art
Fan Binbin returned the favor, raised his head and asked: "You know, there are many opinions about the relationship between you and Yang Shoucheng."
" What's the argument?"
"At first, some people said that you were Yang Shoucheng's illegitimate son."
"."
"It's probably a rumor spread by those jealous guys, but you guys have a really good relationship. He even called you late at night."
Fan Xiaopang continued to talk hard.
We are all foxes for thousands of years, and everyone knows it.
Several of Zhou Yutang’s super-grossing movies were produced by Yinghuang Group.
If anyone could help Yang Shoucheng earn so much money and influence, Yang Shoucheng would probably do everything possible to maintain a good relationship.
"By the way, why did he come to see you at night?"
"Yinghuang is about to make a big move."
A slight arc appeared at the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth, and he said calmly: "I also participated in the investment. "The King's Feast" by Lu Chuan, Boss Yang said hello to me first."
"No wonder. I said hello to you first."
Fan Xiaopang nodded suddenly and then touched. Touching Zhou Yutang's body, he said with some gossip: "What do you think?"
She also knew about the relationship between Zhou Yutang and Lu Chuan.
Zhou Yutang stepped on Lu Chuan's head to get the upper hand.
"What do you think?"
The corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless about Fan Xiaopang's gossip: "The company's normal investment behavior has nothing to do with me."
A big company like Yinghuang invests in a lot of movies every year.
Fan Binbin rolled his eyes and asked: "What's the big move over there, just this drama?"
"It's not convenient to disclose business secrets."
"Humph, then I won't serve you. You're exhausted from filming during the day, and you have to suffer at night."
"Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Seeing that Teacher Fan was going on strike, Zhou Yutang revealed some news.
Yang Shoucheng probably also saw the rapid rise of "Let the Bullets Fly" and was inspired by the argument of many experts on the film market that the Chinese film industry was about to usher in a period of rapid development, and wanted to flex his muscles.
Yinghuang Film’s investment budget for next year has been adjusted to 500 million yuan.
It is expected to control and invest in five large-scale movies.
Invite Zhou Yutang to direct one of the films.
If you want people, give others, if you want money, give money.
As long as he nods, his director's remuneration will count as his investment share, and there will also be a share tied to the box office.
“You don’t even agree to these conditions.”
Fan Xiaopang felt a little dizzy when he heard this.
He was calculating quickly.
The results came quickly.
Zhou Yutang's salary is around 20 million, but there is also a share of the box office, so there is at least tens of millions in income, right?
This man actually refused like this?
Thinking that his salary was about 5 million, Fan Xiaopang felt envious and sour at the same time, and couldn't help but bite him again.
“Why don’t I do it myself if I have a project?”
Zhou Yutang was pained and happy, and understood Yang Shoucheng’s approach.
A blockbuster movie like "A League of Thieves" eats too much meat, and Yinghuang doesn't get much of it. It's like drinking soup along with it, so naturally it can't satisfy Boss Yang's ambition.
Boss Yang’s purpose is very clear.
Be bigger and stronger and create greater glory.
Zhou Yutang has also seen the news. Lu Chuan's movie is said to be a script that took several years of hard work and a total investment of 100 million.
It is also one of Ying Huang’s five blockbuster projects.
But he always felt that Boss Yang was confused.
He unexpectedly took over this project.
It is better to believe that Lu Chuan can make commercial blockbusters than to believe that sows can climb trees.
The filming of the crew is in progress.
It will take some time for the South Korean actors to be cast.
What we were shooting today was a group portrait scene.
After the gang of Chinese thieves stole treasures from the art museum, the director of the art museum reacted and called the police to issue a wanted order.
The Celestial Thieves Group gathered together for a meeting, preparing to divide the stolen goods, and then lay dormant for a while.
Zhou Yutang’s role is relatively simple.
In this movie, it is set that he is the youngest member of a gang of powerful thieves in China, but he is actually a mysterious thief who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger.
So most of the time I look a little green.
Whether it was the technology or the relationship with Fan Xiaopang, it was not until the end that things suddenly reversed.
A sharp contrast also has a certain impact on the audience.
Speaking of dividing the spoils.
Behind the camera, you can see that Fan Xiaopang’s eyes were on the stacks of brand-new banknotes throughout the whole process. This is a woman who values money very important.
"In the past few months, I've had enough of his bachelor smell."
Fan Xiaopang took away his share, sniffed the smell of banknotes and ink, and said excitedly: " My youth can only be compensated with money.”
“Have you slept with the museum?”
Zhou Yutang lowered his head, as if counting his share. I asked accidentally.
Young young people always hope that the opposite sex they admire is clean and pure.
"I'm not sleeping. Why are you asking?"
Fan Xiaopang paused, then raised his head, and his eyes fell on Zhou Yutang.
“I haven’t been slept with for several months. It’s really your fault.”
Jiang Wenli ate instant noodles and sneered: “For several months, he only smelled the aroma of meat and did not eat barbecue. ”
“Hey, gum.”
Fan Xiaopang squinted his eyes in displeasure: "Am I a barbecue?"
"You stinky girl, at such a young age, do you know how to be polite? Is this how you call your elders casually?"
"An old aunt like you has a bad temper and is approaching menopause."
Fan Xiaopang turned on the battle mode and made a suggestive applause gesture: "It must be because I haven't done it for a long time. ·Love it.”
After a pause, he continued to output, “I think so, how can I do it? I probably haven’t done it in 30,000 years.”
"."
Jiang Wenli had dropped the fork of instant noodles and leaned back on the chair, speechless.
In terms of eloquence, she is really no match for Fan Xiaopang.
"What should I do? Just scratch it by yourself?"
Fan Xiaopang had an unforgiving mouth, put his hand on Zhou Yutang's shoulder, and said with a joking smile: "Do you want Akai to give it to you?" Do you want to stop itching?”
The sequence ends and the actors gather behind the monitor to discuss.
"Director Zhou."
Jiang Wenli took the initiative to stop and expressed her opinion: "I think Binbin's behavior just now is very disrespectful to this senior."
"Ah, I'm sorry, Teacher Wen Li."
Fan Xiaopang was startled and apologized hastily.
"It's okay, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about this character in the play."
Jiang Wenli smiled and waved her hand, and continued to communicate with Zhou Yutang: "I think this senior should also have his own temper. He is praised by the juniors in the team. It's such a humiliation. Although it may be true, I haven't done it for a long time. I'm so angry. How about adding a slap on the table?"
"In this way, the noisy atmosphere will be more natural and it will be easier to connect to the next paragraph. Lens.”
“No problem.”
Zhou Yutang clapped his hands: “Try it first”
A professional veteran actor like Jiang Wenli doesn't need to worry about the director at all. He has his own understanding of the role.
Then.
Do it again.
“Stinky girl, what did you say?”
Jiang Wenli slammed the table angrily, and Fan Xiaopang also held his head high and refused to give in.
Zhou Yutang lowered his head and counted the money, keeping his mind high on matters that did not concern him.
Another member of the gang, Huang Bo, saw the quarrel getting more and more intense and tried to dissuade him: "What are you arguing about? Why are you arguing?"
"In a woman's family, her hair is long but her knowledge is short. The boss Didn’t I tell you that we are about to have a big deal?”
“What big deal?”
The war between Jiang Wenli and Fan Xiaopang suddenly stopped, and Fan Xiaopang Fat eyes instantly shined brightly.
"You don't know?"
Huang Bo leaned forward slightly, a mysterious touch of hair on his forehead, and said while smoking: "It's that Macau old man, Zhang Jiguo."
" It’s him! ?”
“It’s him!”
“What Zhang Jiguo, playing table tennis?”
As a newcomer to the group, Fan Xiaopang lacked experience and looked a little confused.
As an old member of the league, Jiang Wenli showed a look of shock at the right time and confided the information: "This person is incredible. He went to Macau with 200,000 yuan and won 20 million. In terms of skills and seniority, then Or the boss’s boss”
“What boss?”
Liu Dehua, who had been smoking in the shadow of the room, suddenly interrupted: “That’s the partner”
"Click!"
In this shot, Zhou Yutang looked at the effect behind the monitor and pointed out the problem directly: "Brother Hua, you have to remember that it was you who tricked Zhang Jiguo back then, so when Huang Bo mentioned that person's name in front of you, At that time, you should feel guilty and your eyes should be wandering."
"OK."
Liu Dehua nodded: "Do it again! "
He is also an old actor. .
Acting skills honed bit by bit from the idol school.
"Into the Wrath", "Dark War", "Infernal Affairs", and "The Disciple" all performed very well.
This character is actually simpler than Liu Jianming in "Infernal Affairs".
Although he is the leader of the gang, he can betray everyone for profit. His boss was betrayed and framed by him back then.
In fact, there is no need for Zhou Yutang to teach him specific performance methods. Just point out the problem and the performance that needs to be presented.
He will adjust himself and express this emotion in the most appropriate way.
…………………………
“Yu Tang, did the investment in Guoshi’s movie really cost 100 million US dollars?”
“What? ”
Zhou Yutang glanced at the mobile phone handed over by Fan Xiaopang.
It's written very clearly.
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is currently being filmed, and Zhang Dapao announced to the outside world.
“For "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", I bet all my wealth and took out a loan of 600 million!"
"My ambition is to surpass "Avatar"."
"The domestic box office is 1 billion. With Bell, the overseas box office can easily reach 1 billion. The final total box office revenue is nearly 2 billion."
Let’s talk about marketing.
Zhou Yutang still has something to learn.
Zhang Dapao is claiming to be the first movie in China to use a Hollywood star and an Oscar-winning actor as the male lead. The movie is still being shot, and it has been making headlines in the media from time to time.
“He is too arrogant.”
“The movie has not even been made yet, but it has booked a box office of one billion overseas. Let’s wait and see”
Zhou Yutang was chatting with Fan Xiaopang when Ma Sichun came over with a bottle of drink.
"Director, please drink water."
"Thank you."
Taking the drink and meeting Fan Xiaopang's suspicious eyes, Zhou Yutang's head hurt a little.
The relationship between him and Ma Sichun is really innocent than a blank slate.
Ma Sichun was not a member of the crew, but came here in the name of Jiang Wenli, the visiting team member.
King Xiang danced with his sword, aiming at Pei Gong.
Wen Li came up with a plan to guide Xiao Ma in the action of beheading men.
Zhou Yutang looked at Aunt Wenli's proud smile and realized that this was probably Jiang Wenli's idea for his niece.
However.
It was hard for him to say anything.
Since in this circle, human connections are inevitable.
Jiang Wenli responded very readily and did not get much remuneration.
This bit of face should be given to her.
This girl has been here, so I let her play a supporting role.
Jin Chen looked at Ma Sichun who offered Zhou Yutang a drink.
Somewhat envious.
She wanted to go up and pass the drinks, but she had a good aunt, and she was just a sidekick, so she had no chance.
"Jin Chen, come on, this time you are participating in Director Zhou's play. Although you are just a supporting role, it is still a rare opportunity. You will definitely become famous in the future!"
Jin Chen secretly said Encouraging himself, he immediately took the initiative to help the stylists on the set.
"Senior Brother Lin, did you recruit this actor into the group?"
After dismissing Ma Sichun, Zhou Yutang found Lin Liang and pointed in Jin Chen's direction.
"Yes."
Lin Liangliang felt a little moved: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
"Not bad, very sensible, with lively eyes."
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "In a few days, there will be a casino scene in Macau. Let her play a dealer."
The film will be shot in Macau next, and there will be a casino scene there. .
Actor Jin Chen, nicknamed Daxi.
This girl is from the Beijing Dance Academy and is Liu Shishi’s junior sister.
Zhou Yutang liked her so much that he planned to let her play the role of a dealer.
There are several shots in the casino.
Although Jin Chen is determined and can’t be said to be sexy, she still looks pretty, so she can handle the job of dealing cards.
Ma Sichun came to play for a few days, and approached Zhou Yutang several times, and even hinted that he would take her to Macau with him.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yutang was not moved at all.
Xiao Ma’s classmate failed to kill the man and went back disappointed.
What a joke.
The beauty in Tsing Yi has joined the group.
Scum is scum, Zhou Yutang still prefers Sister Li.
Don’t say that the immature classmate Xiaoma is not beautiful enough to make his heart flutter.
Even Teacher Fan, who looked like a ripe peach during this period of time, asked him for tutoring and didn’t agree.
In addition, Lin Yoona will join the group soon.
Even a master of time management, Zhou Yutang, can’t stand it.
The box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" suddenly bucked the trend and soared on New Year's Day, with a single daily receipt of 30.8 million, and the total box office of the movie also exceeded 500 million.
Jiang Wen successfully joined the 500 million club.
As the rival of "Let the Bullets Fly", "If You Are the One 2" was undoubtedly overshadowed by "Let the Bullets Fly".
The box office revenue on New Year's Day was 25.8 million, and the daily box office growth continues to decline.
But as an advertising blockbuster, there is no doubt that it can make a lot of money.
During the Spring Festival movie, Enter the Dragon, an entertainment reporter who has never had any integrity took the initiative to find Brother Chen Kai and sprinkled salt on his wounds, "Director Chen, what do you think of the Spring Festival movie?"
“I don’t have any feelings.”
Poet Chen’s face was dark throughout.
Mrs. Chen, on the other hand, was quite magnanimous and said with a smile: "Actually, we don't really care about the box office. Brother Kai is very busy recently. He is already preparing to adapt "Kukai: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty". This will be a great success." A wonderful commercial blockbuster"
"In the movie "Let the Bullets Fly", Zhou Yutang invested tens of millions in Jiang Wen at the time after drinking two glasses of wine. Are you really not afraid that the money will be wasted? "
“With his net worth, it’s amazing.”
“I have to say that Zhou Yutang’s investment vision is really good, he can at least make several times his profit this time.”
< br>Jiang Wen broke a lot of news during the road show. Everyone inside and outside the circle knew that this was a big project invested by Zhou Yutang.
He receives many messages every day congratulating "Let the Bullets Fly" for its box office success.
Some of them are acquaintances, and some have just met once at some parties.
Every word is full of warmth.
Zhou Yutang threw his work phone directly to Mao Xiaoyu.
At this time, Mao Xiaoyu’s hands were almost cramped from fatigue.
In the next few days, the crew transferred to Macau to continue filming.
Zhou Yutang divided the crew into two groups and filmed at the same time.
He was responsible for the main shots.
Wen Muye shot another group.
The benefits of splitting into two groups for shooting are obvious, and the shooting efficiency of the movie is greatly improved.
It also allowed Wen Muye to exercise his practical ability.
Wen Muye is also full of fighting spirit.
After "The End of Thieves", he will immediately start filming his first film "Rescuing Mr. My Life" independently, and will also take time to do an internship in the United States.
Among the first list of people Zhou Yutang sent for exchange and study, in addition to Wen Muye, there were also Guo Fan from the Film Academy and the newly recruited special effects artists from Jiangdong Entertainment.
“Huang Xiaoming came to visit the class!”
With a shout from the floor manager, Huang Xiaoming came to the set with coffee, milk tea and other things that he asked his assistant to purchase.
The crew members were naturally bursting with joy.
Huang Xiaoming is a well-known connections king in the entertainment industry.
Not only were he chatting and laughing with Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau also took the initiative to shake hands with him and give him a hug.
Even Fan Xiaopang, Huang Bo, Jiang Wenli and others are very friendly.
Of course, there are also reasons for the relationship between Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang took the hot coffee handed over by Huang Xiaoming and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoming, thank you for running over here."
Huang Xiaoming was filming "Anti-Drug" in Hong Kong, producer We have been in constant communication with Zhou Yutang, and the progress there is very good, and we will soon transfer to Thailand for filming.
This time he specially asked for a day off from "Anti-Drug" to come and play a guest role.
“It’s a small matter, why are you being polite to me? When will it be turned on?”
Huang Xiaoming also has the body of a model worker. He came all the way over, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to work.
"Wait a minute, let's go through the scene first."
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly, and he drank coffee and talked about the next scene to be filmed.
The scene we filmed today was mainly a scene between Zhou Yutang and Huang Xiaoming, and it was also a good laugh point in the movie.
Huang Xiaoming plays the role of the hotel manager. Fan Binbin was originally assigned to use his beauty to activate the charm, trying to seduce the hotel manager and seize the room card to prepare for the big operation. Suddenly, things took a turn for the hotel manager. She likes male sex, so Zhou Yutang takes action in person.
From the audience's perspective, it can be seen that this is Zhou Yutang tearing off the mask of youth, revealing for the first time an almost magical technique, and deceiving Huang Xiaoming.
The successful completion of this theft operation also paved the way for his identity reversal.
“Director Zhou is so proud.”
Huang Bo grinned.
Other members of the crew also felt the same way.
But not everyone can invite Xu Zheng and Huang Xiaoming to guest star.
Even Golden Horse Award-winning actor Huang Bo was willing to come over and make green leaves for him.
“Yu Tang is recognized as the king of connections in the circle.”
Jiang Wenli also sighed with emotion.
Have status, have wealth, understand taste, and be masculine
This kind of top-notch man, my own niece, really failed to live up to expectations and couldn't grasp it, so she wasted the man-killing skills she taught her.
If it were me, I would have to cook the raw rice first, and there would be no chance of letting Zhou Yutang go.
“In the following scene, Yu Tang will sacrifice a lot for art.”
"Director Zhou, he is serious, I cried to death."
Huang Bo was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and the crew around him started to boo, and Fan Binbin was also overjoyed: "This scene, one shot, The mirror must be preserved and released as a behind-the-scenes story later.”
Even Wen Muye, who was behind the monitor, laughed.
Zhou Yutang is about to "dedicate himself" to art
