Chapter 312: Get Mrs. Chen, the movie starts
“Xiao Liu, you are such a little fool.”
Zhou Yutang felt warm in his heart, and hugged Liu Tianxian tightly, with a gentle smile in his eyes The meaning became more and more intense:
"Several scripts have been prepared a long time ago. It depends on which one you like."
"Really!?"
Liu Yifei raised her head, with an uncontrollable surprise on her beautiful little face.
"Classmate Xiao Liu, I am an upright and honest person. When have I ever told lies?"
"You are obviously the best at deceiving others."
"Xian Bao. ”
This is what Zhou Yutang said, and he started to be dishonest,
"Go back and read all those scripts. Read them slowly and choose the one you like best."
"Oh, not here"
"Old Cao, what's going on over there? "Say?"
Cao Huayi just returned home, and Gai Lili, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, couldn't help but get up and ask.
As Cao Huayi’s virtuous wife, Xinli Media is able to grow bigger day by day, and she has a share of the credit.
"That's it."
Cao Huayi was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Old Wang has a good relationship with him. He nodded. There is something that he wants me to help with."
"What help did he ask you to help?"
Gai Lili asked slightly curiously.
Cao Huayi changed into his slippers, walked into the living room, and said with a smile: "It's his new play "Search", and Chen Hong is going to star in it."
"This... is a bit difficult."
Gai Lili suspected that she had heard wrong, and her expression twitched slightly: "Chen Hong is now a producer, how can he take on the role?"
They were old classmates at first, and now they are in contact with each other privately. They are all good friends, so of course they are familiar with each other.
"If it's easy, then you still need my help?"
Cao Huayi poured a glass of water, took a sip, and said with a smile: "You have to talk about this matter."
>
"What should I say?"
"Brother Kai also owns shares in Xinli."
Cao Huayi rolled his eyes and soon had an idea: "This Xinli is invested. He definitely didn’t want to lose money on "Yue Fei", which cost a lot of money. This time he finally invited Zhou Yutang to the stage, but there was a condition that he wanted to invite Chen Hong to try out his new play."
Chen Hong is not just good-looking.
Her acting skills are also good for certain types of roles.
Diao Chan in "Three Kingdoms" is still deeply memorable.
Princess Taiping in "Ci of Daming Palace", opposite Gui Yalei, did not fall behind at all.
Chang'e in "Spring Scenes with Pigs" is even more of a classic among classics.
Unfortunately, after getting together with Poet Chen, this great beauty gradually faded out of the film and television industry and became an indispensable butler in Poet Chen's professional team.
Pop! Snap! Snap!
In the audition room, Zhou Yutang clapped her hands and took the initiative to express her appreciation: "Sister Hong, you acted really well."
She was just asked to audition for the role of Mo Xiaoyu in the play.
That is, Shen Liusu's wife.
A noble lady who lives a life dependent on a domineering president.
After Chen Hong married Poet Chen, she took care of her husband and raised her children. She didn’t even need to act like a married woman, it was so full that it almost overflowed.
"Director Zhou, please stop praising me. I haven't acted in a long time."
Chen Hong was not embarrassed either. There was a smile on her charming face, and she felt very grateful.
She was praised all the way.
But what kind of person is Zhou Yutang?
The first director of a commercial film with a box office of over 1 billion in China, he is so popular now that he doesn’t want to be second-guessed.
Being flattered by others and being recognized by Zhou Yutang are completely different concepts.
"If there are no problems, it's settled."
Zhou Yutang said calmly: "This drama will start shooting in August."
"So soon?"
Chen Hong was slightly surprised: "Have all the preparations been completed?"
"We have been doing preparatory work in the first half of this year."
"Really professional."
Producer Chen Meiren suffered from an occupational disease and praised it.
"Sister Hong."
Zhou Yutang chuckled softly: "You don't have many scenes, it will be completed in about two weeks."
"I have no problem."
Chen Hong readily agreed, stood up and shook hands with Zhou Yutang: "Yu Tang, I haven't acted in a long time. I may make a fool of myself in a while. Don't laugh at me. . ”
“Sister Hong, happy to cooperate”
“I will spend my whole life supporting you, I just hope that you will stop your wandering eyes.”
< br>In the recording studio, listening to Da Mi Mi’s sweet voice, singing to the top of her lungs, Zhou Yutang’s expression twitched slightly, turned around, and asked the team of professional recording engineers following him:
"What do you think?"
"That's great, Mr. Zhou."
"OK, totally OK. Unexpectedly, Mimi is still a buried singer. Mr. Zhou, what do you think of it? It's really good."
"The main thing is this song, the melody is catchy, Yang Mi sings it well, there are only a few flaws, but it's not a big problem."
The professional next to me. The music production team had a rainbow fart.
Zhou Yutang shook his head, pursed his lips slightly, and did not laugh out loud in a professional manner.
Yang Mi came directly after finishing filming on "Painted Skin 2".
Of course I wasn’t asking Zhou Yutang to comment on her sexy nightgown, but the song I had promised her had been delayed for a long time.
After Yu Zheng was rushing to produce the TV series "Palace", Yang Mi also joined the cast of "Reply 1997".
Time was tight, so Zhou Yutang took half a day to take her to record the song.
For the song "Providence of Love", he still composed lyrics, composed music, and arranged.
Just now, the professional music team almost made Yang Mi a diva-level singer with her sweet words.
Actually, the problem is huge.
The tone of this song is gentle and not too professionally difficult, but for Damimi, who has no musical foundation, it is still a bit over the top.
“Yu Tang, how did I sing?”
Yang Mi came out of the recording studio and asked a little excitedly.
She just sang this song, which perfectly integrated the emotions of her character in the drama "Palace". She was almost moved to tears by herself.
The offering of love is simply perfect!
Zhou Yutang crossed his shoulders with his hands, supported his chin, and nodded seriously: "There is a lot of room for improvement."
"Disgusting."
Yang Mi gave the man a rather resentful look: "Can't you coax me?"
If you coax her, she will say something glib.
Women are really difficult to deal with.
Zhou Yutang shook his head and pointed out the problem: "The main problem is that the pitch is slightly out of tune, but it's not a big problem. If you try it a few times, you will always find the right tune. If it doesn't work, we still have a tuner."
The professional music team following him all laughed.
There is a recording studio.
Anyone can be the king of songs and the queen of songs.
“No!”
Damimi made up her mind: “I must sing this song well.”
This is what Zhou Yutang wrote for her The first song received a treatment that even Liu Shishi didn’t receive.
Regardless of whether the song is a hit or not, she wants to do this well.
Zhou Yutang’s time is precious. It’s not easy to find time to write songs in your busy schedule. You have to show the attitude you should have.
“How about eating first?”
“If you don’t want to eat, I asked Sister Jia to buy me bread. After recording the song, I quickly sent it to Yu Zheng, and then directly joined the group " Please answer" and go to the "Search" crew again when you have time!"
"."
Zhou Yutang was in awe.
The desperate thirteenth mother is well-deserved.
Then let’s have another bitter experience.
…………………………………………
After the audition.
Zhou Yutang finally decided to give the role of Yang Jiaqi to Damimi.
Mainly because of Damimi’s excellent acting skills.
Definitely not because of her selfie in a sexy nightgown
That’s it.
The casting process for "Search" has also reached the final stage.
Zhou Yutang is the male protagonist Yang Shoucheng.
Gao Yuanyuan is Ye Lanqiu.
Shen Liusu hired Mr. Wang Xuexi, an old drama actor.
This man has worked with Zhou Yutang in "A Rain of Swords" and was nominated for Best Actor together. His acting skills are beyond doubt.
The remaining role of Chen Ruoxi is still being auditioned.
Actors from our own company currently have no schedule.
It is naturally impossible for big stars like Fan Binbin and Li Binbin to come.
If it were Ye Lanqiu, they would undoubtedly take the top spot. But Chen Ruoxi is only the second female lead and has to play the role of Gao Yuanyuan.
However, these big beauties are not trying to grab them, there are many people who want to be in the position.
"Mr. Zhou, according to the results of the final audition, Yao Chen, Wan Qian, and Zhang Jingchu have the highest overall scores."
While reporting on his work, Lin Liang also used his skills of observing words and emotions.
“Forget it, Yao Chen.”
Zhou Yutang rubbed his eyebrows.
It’s not that her acting skills are not good enough.
The main reason is that he doesn't like this woman very much.
At the beginning of this year, Yao Chen announced his divorce from Ling Xiaosu. At the same time, he also posted a short essay on Weibo, accusing Ling Xiaosu of cheating, which caused quite a stir.
What is the real situation?
Zhou Yutang also listened to gossip from friends in the circle at some parties.
In several dramas before and after, she had scandals with the male actors in the drama.
Last year, Liu Huohua, a loudmouth, accidentally broke the news that when Yao Chen was filming the movie "Love is Excellent", he met the photographer Cao Yu late, and the two got along well on the crew.
"Zhang Jingchu is not suitable either. "
Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers on the table: "Just Wan Qian, you go and inform her to confirm the schedule."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Lin Liang didn’t ask the reason and nodded in response.
When I received the news that I had passed the audition.
Wan Qian was stunned in place for a long time.
Being an unpopular actress, she got a role in Zhou Yutang's new play.
It was like being hit by a pie falling from the sky.
I feel an indescribable excitement.
After fighting the monster all afternoon, he still couldn't calm down.
She was still a little confused when she went to the vegetable market. She was buying vegetables and cooking as usual, and no one noticed her.
While eating, she received many congratulatory messages and phone calls from friends.
"Qianqian, the character information published on the official website of Jiangdong Entertainment, is that you?"
"Yes, I just received the notice today."
"Congratulations, you are attracted by Zhou Yutang, you are going to be popular."
Reply to the blessings of friends and family one by one.
Wan Qian stood on the balcony of her home.
Looking at the distant lights at night, they are as gorgeous as stars.
Take a deep breath.
It seems that even the air is filled with fragrance.
I feel that the whole world has become better.
Wan Qian returned to the bedroom with a smile.
I turned on the computer and began to read the script that had just been sent to my mailbox seriously.
Can get such an opportunity.
Of course it should be cherished.
There are still a few days until the launch.
She wants to fully understand the role of Chen Ruoxi.
Use your acting skills and strength to tell Zhou Yutang.
His choice was not wrong.
Casting confirmed.
There are many actresses in the industry who envy Wan Qian.
Before this, she was a little-known actress.
I was able to get the second female lead in Zhou Yutang's new play.
I am so lucky that I have nothing to say.
Zhou Yutang is at Gao Yuanyuan's house.
Start redrawing the storyboards of "Search".
Because there was no on-site survey before, I just sketched it briefly.
Now that it’s basically settled, we need to do it more carefully, which can speed up the shooting progress.
The story of the movie "Search" is very simple.
The main line is media events, and the auxiliary line is emotional entanglements.
After the "not giving up seat" incident was exposed by the media, Ye Lanqiu became a woman symbolized by social media.
Been raped by humans and raped online.
A beautiful but morally corrupt mistress with flaming red lips.
The role of Ye Lanqiu seems to be tailor-made for Gao Yuanyuan.
Zhou Yutang was drawing the shots when he heard faint sobbing. Gao Yuanyuan looked at the script and seemed to be involved in it.
Zhou Yutang put down what she was doing and took the initiative to comfort: "Sister Yuanyuan, why are you crying? "
Gao Yuanyuan put down the script, raised her head, with tears in her beautiful eyes, and said in a soft voice: "I don't want people to see that I am with you."
This is a sentence in the script. Lines.
Listening to this sister's tone of voice, it seems that she has integrated into the character of Ye Lanqiu.
Zhou Yutang was startled for a moment, then his eyes were deep and gentle, and he said in a firm tone: "I want everyone to see that I am with you every day."
"Really?"< br>
“Of course.”
“Yu Tang, Ye Lanqiu is really pitiful.”
Gao Yuanyuan did not hold back and threw herself into his arms, her body also Puffing and puffing.
"Sister Yuanyuan, you performed very well in this role."
Zhou Yutang gently patted Gao Yuanyuan on the back: "Don't be sad, I'm here."
On coaxing He was a professional person, and his gentle words helped Gao Yuanyuan get out of that fragile state. She sorted out her emotions a little and quickly returned to normal.
After all, he is a professional actor, and he can still understand his acting skills and life.
Finding the most comfortable position in Zhou Yutang's arms, Gao Yuanyuan asked: "Yu Tang, do you think I can play this role well?"
"Sister Yuanyuan, why are you so unsure of yourself?"
"The movies I acted in, excluding the guest appearances in "Sword Rain" and "Anti-Drug", were very bad at the box office. Now people on the Internet say that I am a box office poison. , I'm afraid of hurting you."
"Since you don't have any confidence, let me try it out for you."
"Yu Tang, you are so kind."
Da Meiyuan took the initiative to give her a sweet kiss.
"Everything is for art."
Zhou Yutang said righteously: "Let's do this, Sister Yuanyuan, you go and change into costumes and ask for the blue skirt. I will tell you about the play."< br>
The next period of time.
Zhou Yutang successfully modified and perfected the split shots, and also discussed the lens issues with the assistant director and director of photography of the film.
Wen Muye is currently busy with the post-production of "Rescue Mr. Wu".
Li Bingqiang stepped in as assistant director. He had also worked with Zhou Yutang on several films, so there was no problem with his ability.
This time Yang Shu was also invited to be the photography director.
This is also Zhou Yutang’s senior fellow in the Nortel Photography Department, and is also the vice chairman of the Tianchao Film and Television Cinematographers Association. “Li Mi’s Conjecture” is his work.
Early August.
The preliminary preparation work was completed, and Zhou Yutang led the crew to start filming in Ningbo in a low-key manner.
This time, except for Jiangdong Entertainment’s official Weibo account, which posted the news about the launch of Zhou Yutang’s new drama, there was not much publicity.
Even so, it also caused quite a stir in the circle.
Jiangdong Entertainment’s artists all retweeted Weibo to express their support, and Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming and others also retweeted it.
“Zhou Yutang actually wants to make a literary film instead of doing his real job.”
“The box office of “Thieves” will be difficult to beat in a short time.”
"How much money does Director Zhou make? I guess he wants to make a literary film to compete for awards, right?"
"Literary films and commercial films are not the same. Why do I feel that Zhou Yutang is about to capsize?"
>"Haha, when we were filming "Thieves Alliance", someone said that."
"The Commander-in-Chief will do whatever you want, Jiangdong Navy will always support you."
Previously, the official website of Jiangdong Entertainment Information about "Search" was announced.
Many people were curious and bought the original novel, which unexpectedly led to a surge in sales of the original novel.
For Zhou Yutang.
Winning the prize or not is the next best thing.
He made this movie.
Part of the reason is because of Gao Yuanyuan.
The love between a beautiful woman is deep, and there is no way to repay it except to sacrifice one's life for her.
He wants to make this movie the representative work of Gao Yuanyuan's acting career.
Another part of the reason is to accumulate experience for him to make literary films in the future.
Zhou Yutang has never forgotten the movie "Chi Ling" in his heart.
