Chapter 316: Shooting is over, new drama plan
Another day of shooting is over.
Zeng Jia chatted with Yang Mi in the hotel suite: "Mimi, these sisters in Northern Xinjiang are quite famous now."
"This is the newcomer that the company wants to promote. "
Yang Mi looked at the script and responded casually.
But I was wondering in my heart how I should act in the scene tomorrow.
She got a lot of opportunities by playing hard.
But there is also a disadvantage.
That is, it is easy to confuse the characters in different plays.
For actors, different plays have different performance rhythms.
Filming a TV series is okay, Yang Mi’s acting skills are enough to handle it.
But not for making movies.
Don't look at Zhou Yutang who is usually gentle and easy to talk to.
In his crew, there are actors who are slow to get into the mood, and that can lead to what is called a tyrant on the set.
Even Gao Yuanyuan was almost made to cry by Zhou Yutang on the first day.
Yang Mi felt a sense of crisis in her heart.
The scene with Wan Qian tomorrow.
It was like the urgency and pressure of the upcoming college entrance examination, which made her palms sweat.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou is going to spend resources to support him. This is the rhythm of becoming popular."
Zeng Jia is still looking at the news on the Internet.
Or it could be the arrival of the god Gulina Zami from "The Trace of the Sky".
Either it is Dilire Basheng from "Running Man" who is invincible.
A lot of news about Northern Xinjiang and the United States.
At first glance, it seems that there is a press release to promote it.
Zeng Jia frowned slightly and turned off the news: "Mimi, I watched the last scene of the crew. It's not good for you to figure out the role by yourself."
"Aren't you still here to help me with my lyrics?"
"I'm not a professional."
Zeng Jia turned around and said, "Don't Director Zhou live upstairs above us? If you If you don’t understand something, you can ask him in advance.”
“Isn’t that good?”
Yang Mi paused while turning over the script.
"What's wrong?"
Zeng Jia disagreed: "It's normal for the director to guide the actors into the play. Don't be too burdened. Director Zhou is definitely a gentleman. There are several young people in the crew. The girl showed attentiveness to him, but he was not moved."
Yang Mi's expression twitched slightly.
He is a gentleman.
The sun can even come out from the west.
During this time on the set, even a blind person could see Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Yutang's intimate gestures. The relationship between the two was unusual.
Yang Mi put down the script, a little hesitant, but also a little excited.
Finally I couldn't hold it back anymore.
Sent a message to Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang quickly replied:
"There's something going on tonight."
It's true.
Zhou Yutang often tells plays to Gao Yuanyuan at night.
It is not only a connection and communication, but also a real drama.
There have been many criticisms of this sister’s acting skills online before.
Zhou Yutang also had full understanding in advance.
I only found out after in-depth cooperation.
Gao Yuanyuan has not received any formal education, and her acting skills are even worse than she expected.
Why is it so red?
The face is in the country.
Although Zhou Yutang tried his best to help her get into the mood, she still failed frequently and had to retake many scenes.
Slowed down the overall progress.
Now that we have decided to make this movie.
Then you should try your best to do your best.
Zhou Yutang can only turn on a small stove for Da Meiyuan at night.
He wants to make the role of Ye Lanqiu one of the most classic roles in Gao Yuanyuan's acting career.
Late August.
"Overheard 2" was finally released after a grand premiere.
Zhou Yutang naturally received an invitation to the premiere from Huo Wenxi, but since he was on the set, he asked Li Shuang to attend on his behalf.
Between shooting and rest time.
Zhou Yutang took a look at the box office data on Maoyan and made a congratulatory call to Huo Wenxi,
"Congratulations to Sister Mani, the box office performance is good."
In August, several Hollywood blockbusters joined forces to strangle. Under the circumstances, Mak Siu Hui and Zhuang Wenqiang relied on the Hong Kong underpants police drama to hold up the scene.
The box office revenue on the first day of release was 18.8 million. Based on the online reputation and reviews, it can definitely be regarded as a commercial film with quality above the passing line.
“Good luck.”
Huo Wenxi was indeed in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "A Tang, when will the filming be completed on your side?"
"It will probably have to wait until September."
"At that time Let’s get together in the capital. The drama “The Art of Mind” is about to premiere. Let’s talk about “Slaying the Wolf 2”.
“Okay, Sister Mani”
When she said this line, Wan Qian's throat moved and her voice was slightly difficult.
“I’m sorry.”
The muscles on Zhou Yutang’s face were also twitching slightly.
He crossed his fingers and lowered his gaze, feeling faintly guilty, as if he didn't dare to look at her again.
“If it’s love, there’s nothing to be sorry for.”
Wan Qian pursed her lips tightly, pretending not to care, but in fact her voice was trembling: "Have you gone to bed?"
Zhou Yutang shook his head.
“When did it start?”
“When I knew I would never see her again.”
Thinking of that beautiful woman who eventually faded away. After his death, Zhou Yutang had a painful expression and tears in his eyes.
"Understand, heartbreaking love, as a woman, I am such a failure."
"I have done everything I can, but I still can't make the person I love love me."
When Zhou Yutang came to comfort her, Wan Qian stood up and avoided it.
Two people broke up. At this time, women do not need such mercy.
I opened the refrigerator door and wanted to take something, but in the end I took nothing and closed the door again.
After sorting out his emotions, he turned around to comfort Zhou Yutang: "You don't have to feel guilty, let alone be embarrassed. No matter what happens, you have to face it."
"You have taken care of me for three years, and I haven't even had a day." I've taken care of you, I'm nothing."
"This is my failure and has nothing to do with you."
Wan Qian opened the refrigerator door again, took out two bottles of beer, and handed them over. Giving a bottle to Zhou Yutang, he smiled in relief and said: "Cheer up, you lost your job, and I lost mine."
"You lost your lover, and I lost mine." ”
"We're going to start over and have a farewell bar."
The man and woman raised their drinks and collided with each other in the sunlight coming through the window.
“Stuck.”
As the filming of the final breakup confession scene ended, it was already September.
Zhou Yutang checked and confirmed that there was no problem with the lens, and finally faced the eyes of many people on the crew and said those words of relief,
"Thank you everyone, "Search" is finished."
"Oh ho!"
"Director Zhou is awesome!"
The crew instantly became excited and lively.
“So fast.”
Chen Hong couldn't help but sigh: "It took more than a month to finish a movie. If I hadn't been personally involved, I might not have believed it."
She herself is a producer and knows the inside story.
If he were to become the king of sunglasses, he would have to sharpen his sword for several years.
Even my husband, Brother Kai, who has been famous for a long time, cannot do it so concisely and efficiently. He can do up to 30 shots a day. Zhou Yutang's crew is like a tightly operating machine, and the crew members are like parts of the machine.
With Zhou Yutang's scheduling, it ran in an almost perfect manner.
Sometimes I can even shoot 100 shots a day, which is commonplace.
“Director Zhou is like this.”
Despite his young age, Chen Xi is actually an old producer who has worked on several dramas with Zhou Yutang. He explained with a smile: “He rarely It’s like I knew how the picture should look in advance.”
“Xiao Chen, you’re not bad either”
Chen Hong was generous in his praise.
She found out.
Zhou Yutang’s efficiency is so fast.
The producer named Chen Xi also made great contributions.
Arrange the production schedule in an orderly manner.
"Director, I learned a lot during my time on the crew."
At the closing banquet, Sister Chen Hong seemed a little excited and took the initiative to hold a glass of red wine to express her gratitude.
Mrs. Chen was so polite, of course Zhou Yutang had to give her face, and smiled slightly: "I also learned a lot from Sister Hong through mutual exchanges."
I don't know if it was Chen Hong's own feeling, Poet Chen was still guiding behind the scenes. She came to communicate with Zhou Yutang several times.
Mainly because I feel that my role is not outstanding enough, and I think she should be allowed to finally get rid of the shackles of marriage.
It means she wants to add drama.
Some celebrities in the industry will basically bring their own screenwriters when they join the team, modify the script, and add drama to themselves to make their characters more shining.
But in Zhou Yutang’s crew, he has the final say in everything.
It is impossible to add drama.
"Search" is an adaptation of a novel, and there is also a name called "Death on the Internet", which is about cyber violence.
Adding a middle-aged emotional crisis scene between Chen Hong and Shen Liusu will not do any good to the theme.
Her ending was very clear.
Also very logical.
Mo Xiaoyu, played by Chen Hong, after learning about Ye Lanqiu's tragic experience, deeply regretted his actions and murmured: "I will never repay this debt I owe Xiaoye. Not on board."
Since then, she has devoted herself to charitable donations for lymphoma and other related diseases.
Atone for your actions.
Chen Hong drank a lot of wine in the evening and his face was a little red: "I hope there will be opportunities to continue cooperation in the future."
Zhou Yutang smiled slightly: "I will definitely do it if I have the opportunity."
"Searching has been completed, and the new generation of great directors is actually a quick shooter!"
"Zhou Yutang recently returned to Beijing in a low-key manner, escorted by two bodyguards, refusing to be interviewed throughout, with a serious expression."
< br>
"There was a suspected change in Jiangdong Entertainment Company, and a certain senior executive switched to LeTV Pictures."
Originally, the schedule was scheduled to go to Hengdian to visit Liu Shishi on the crew of "Mark of the Sky", but there was a sudden emergency at the company, and Zhou Yutang I had to rush back to deal with it.
As soon as the plane landed, there were already many news reports on the Internet.
"Yu Tang, are you okay?"
After receiving Liu Shishi's call, Zhou Yutang felt warm in his heart and said with relief: "It's not a big problem. It's a pity that I can't go over to see you."< br>
"It doesn't matter to me. You deal with the company's affairs first."
Liu Shishi was very sensible and smiled gently: "Anyway, we will be able to meet each other when we film "Xiu Chun Knife" next."
After her, Liu Yifei, Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan and other women also called.
After replying one by one, I received a call from Xu Ming.
He was silent for a long time, and finally apologized frankly: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I really can't refuse the conditions offered by Mr. Jia."
"Yeah."
Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "Do it well in the future."
Not in a hurry.
I didn’t pay more to stay.
We just chatted for a few words and hung up the phone directly.
Job hopping is normal.
He also often poaches people, and he can't help but be poached, not to mention that he paid a fairly generous liquidated damages.
When I came to the company, I called Li Shuang directly for a meeting: "Sister Shuang, when did you start contacting me there?"
"Probably last year."
" What does Boss Jia want to do?”
"I heard that I want to form a team to make a self-produced drama."
LeTV took advantage of the GEM and became the first listed company in the domestic video industry, and it was in the limelight for a while.
Originally I wanted to bring Zhou Yutang into the game, and I did a lot of public relations, but never succeeded.
Boss Jia spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy various copyrights like crazy.
But various capitals are entering the market.
Copyright prices for various drama series have increased across the board.
In the past two years, it was a fantasy to have online broadcast rights exceeding one million per episode, but now it is commonplace.
If you don’t throw money, there are people who are willing to throw money.
I have to say that Boss Jia has a good vision and layout.
LeTV Pictures was established and a plan was formulated with the goal of independently producing TV series with quality above the standard.
Xu Ming used to be the boss of the TV series department of LeTV Pictures.
His passing will have an impact on Jiangdong Entertainment.
But the impact is not big.
After all, the person at the helm of Jiangdong Entertainment is still Zhou Yutang.
All the core projects of the TV series are all in the hands of Zhou Yutang. Xu Ming himself is the executor. His ability to organize and produce dramas is limited, but he just earned a lot of honors.
"Lao Xu is still doing things steadily, but his vision is a bit low."
Li Shuang shook his head: "The company's TV drama business department will be split off separately soon. It is really irrational for him to leave at this time. "
"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It's good to suffocate for dreams with Boss Jia."
"Yu Tang, your scheme is a bit big. "
Li Shuang said with emotion.
"I'm not big-minded. If LeTV wants to negotiate business in the future, the price will have to go up a few points."
Zhou Yutang smiled and tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically: "Sister Shuang, inform the TV drama business department Come over for a meeting."
He's gone.
Some people in Jiangdong Entertainment’s TV drama business department are probably even happier than during the Chinese New Year.
He is here.
No one has a chance to stand out.
Now there is no one standing in the way.
Isn’t the opportunity to rise to the top just around the corner?
Things were just as Zhou Yutang expected.
Except for Jiang Xueyuan, who is still on the crew of "The Trace of the Sky".
The eyes of the other deputy managers in the company were shining with unconcealable ecstasy and ambition.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou on the completion of the new drama."
Several deputy managers said polite words, and one of the more senior deputy managers was the first to speak indignantly: "I didn't expect that Old Xu He turned out to be such a person."
"Everyone has a dream in life."
Zhou Yutang said calmly: "Now that he is gone, don't mention this name again. Let’s report on the company’s TV drama project plans for the second half of the year.”
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
The deputy manager who was called by Zhou Yutang perked up, stood up in the envious eyes of everyone, and reported with the prepared information: "This year's company For the TV series projects in the second half of the year, "The Art of Mind" that I participated in will be broadcast this month. "Snow on Thousand Mountains" is still negotiating the price with the TV station. As for "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", the preliminary preparations will take a long time."
"In addition, "Reply 1997" is already being filmed, and the participating film "Scars of the Sky" is also in the filming stage."
Compared with the various blossoming film departments, this year's TV drama business department has some Not enough.
Last year there was the big project "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but this year the main projects are "Shanshan Is Here" and "Reply 1997".
"Bu Bu Jing Xin" co-produced with Tang Dynasty is not a phenomenon-level hit drama.
After listening to the brief report, Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: "Go and inform Jiang Xuezhen to shoot Liu Shishi's scenes there in advance. She will soon have another film in "Xiu Chun Knife"."
< br>"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
"Let me tell you briefly."
Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers on the table: "In the company, no matter which department, all employees , they are all my brothers, we work together to make the company bigger and stronger”
"There are two more dramas planned for the second half of this year."
Let Mao Xiaoyu turn on the projector.
Everyone’s eyes.
It all fell on the PPT on the curtain.
