Chapter 465 The Power of a Great Director
“You can laugh if you want, I’m going to see you on stage and it’s so uncomfortable.”
After the meeting, I went to the office with Han Sanping and Tong Ju to have tea. , Tong Ju patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder.
"Tong Bureau, was I laughing just now?"
"Yeah."
Han Sanping and Tong Ju nodded together.
"Haha, thank you to the Tong Bureau for the big New Year red envelope."
"Don't worry, we still have to follow the process to implement it."
"."
The smile on Zhou Yutang's face disappeared instantly.
I can only say that everyone who understands the procedures in the system understands them.
This art of changing faces, even the Tong Bureau did not hesitate. He pointed his finger and chuckled: "It will be implemented by the year at the latest. How are the preparations for "In the Name of the People" going? "
"We are still casting, Mr. Han is watching."
"Yu Tang, you need to have some snacks for this movie."
Tong Ju put it down. He pointed at the thermos cup in his hand with a solemn expression on his face: "It must be beautiful."
We sat and chatted for a while about the casting of "In the Name of the People" and the schedule of "Now You See Me".
In the past few days, auditions for "In the Name of the People" are in full swing. Several important roles have been confirmed one after another, but the male lead is still undecided.
That's like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers.
The main reason is that the endorsement unit of this drama is really amazing, and Zhou Yutang’s name is written in the column of project producer and screenwriter.
This makes this drama with a mission color even more attractive to the famous actors in the industry.
The Governor of Jiangdong is not only a popular star, but also an actor.
Both Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun of Jiangdong Entertainment took off. This year, Li Xian, a young actor from Jiangdong, became one of the popular niche actors at an exaggerated speed with just "Wei Sheng" written by Zhou Yutang.
"Yu Tang, if it weren't for the fact that the schedule couldn't be coordinated, I would definitely try "In the Name of the People.""
Huang Xiaoming's role in "Partners" has been completed. She was cast in Bona's "The White-Haired Witch: Moonlight Kingdom" again, but something happened during the filming process. She fell from a three-meter-high wire and suffered a shattered fracture in her toe.
Zhou Yutang went to Jishuitan Hospital in person to visit and saw that the ward was filled with fruit baskets. The man was wearing a hospital gown and had a plaster on his feet. The TV in the ward was playing a replay of "Wei Sheng".
"Auntie, you're welcome. This is just a little thought. I hope Brother Xiao Ming can recover quickly."
Of course Zhou Yutang didn't come here empty-handed. He bought some nutritional supplements in the store outside the hospital. Aunt Huang took a while After giving in, Huang Xiaoming nodded before accepting.
"Yu Tang, do you think I have a chance in that role?"
Huang Xiaoming's smile made Zhou Yutang a little bit dumbfounded, "Brother Xiao Ming, you are a movie star now, you are injured. Just take a good rest, your health is important, don’t worry about it”
“TV dramas are not the same as movies, the book you made is absolutely classic”
Huang Xiaoming's emotional intelligence is well-deserved. Talking to him always makes people feel comfortable, even Zhou Yutang who is used to hearing rainbow farts.
"Thank you."
Qin Lan, who was sitting next to the hospital bed, looked like a good wife and mother. She peeled an apple for Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Yutang each. Zhou Yutang took it and said Thank you: "Thank you, Sister Lan."
When Qin Lan heard that Huang Xiaoming was injured, he immediately put down the notice in his hand and ran to the hospital bed, taking care of him every step of the way, and even made it to the entertainment news.
However, the fact that these two people are separated and reunited is not a big deal.
It seems that even Huang’s mother approves of it.
Aside from Huang Xiaoming, another old acquaintance, Deng Chao, also asked for information in a roundabout way.
The virtuous wife of Brother Chao's family is very resourceful and takes the wife route. Recently, she has been listening to Liu Shishi from time to time.
Zhou Yutang chatted every day, how could he not know what was going on, and politely rejected Deng Chao: ""In the Name of the People" will start shooting in February at the latest. Brother Chao, you are so busy, so forget it. .”
“Haha, Yu Tang, take me with you if you have the opportunity in the future. I wish you a good harvest of Golden Horses.”
After Running Man, Deng Chao's commercial value has reached its peak.
Make money like crazy all year round. After "Partners", he seamlessly joined the cast of "Famous Man 2", and then he had several film appointments, all of which were scheduled for the year after next.
Before going to the Golden Horse, Zhou Yutang also took the time to audition for "In the Name of the People".
Seeing Lu Yi's performance, he frowned slightly.
Lu Yi is undoubtedly a handsome guy, and his acting skills are passable, but in front of such a group of veteran actors, his performance is almost boring.
For the big project "In the Name of the People", Han Sanping left the decision-making power in the hands of Zhou Yutang. He only looked at the suitability of the character, and it was not easy to make connections with anyone.
Even if Zhou Yutang was included in the cast to play Lu Yike's Zeng Li, it would be a grand slam after the TV drama's three awards.
And he put forward strict requirements for her, giving the Tsing Yi beauty the title of a producer, and ruthlessly shortened the Jiangdong sister's end-of-year Xianyu travel plan.
During this period, she is going to the Procuratorate to gain an in-depth understanding of the role-playing workflow. In addition, Hu Jing also auditioned for the role of Gao Xiaoqin based on her performance.
We also need to attend the pre-script workshop together.
"Chill" encountered no rivals in the film market in November, with a box office of 121 million in its first week, and continued to gross 92.65 million in the second week. The box office exceeded 200 million in two weeks, surpassing Huayi's "Tai Chi 2" with a box office of 66.49 million in two weeks.
Jiang Zhihao has been in the limelight during this period, and Anle Pictures has become famous.
If you want to snipe "Cold War", there is only one other heavyweight movie released in late November, the pure IMAX3D blockbuster "Pi" by great director Li An.
This movie has not put much effort into promoting it in the mainland, but its reputation as the best director in the Oscars is well known. Even the New York Post and Time magazine are supporting it, and the great Hollywood director Cameron has also It is a high praise, and naturally many fans are looking forward to it.
Huayi’s Mr. Wang has given up on struggling and invested his promotional resources in "1942" and "Zodiac".
The former is Feng Xiaogang, one of the three major directors, and the latter is Jackie Chan, who has become a legend in the film industry.
At this time.
The promotional trailers for "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Now You See Me" have been overwhelming. Since "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the major dramas produced by Jiangdong Entertainment have been rotated during prime time on four domestic first-tier TV stations. There are landing activities in several key cities. The TV series has not yet been launched, and even the copyright of the original author's new book "Jian Ye" by Mao Pang has increased significantly. However, the new book was only released last year and has already been acquired by Jiangdong Entertainment. Other film and television companies in the industry can only look forward to it.
This time Zhou Yutang went to Xiangjiang, Boss Yang personally came forward and gave Lu Tailang a hand.
Because this movie "The King's Feast" is also one of the 500 million major projects of Yinghuang Group.
But Zhou Yutang would definitely not sacrifice his own interests to satisfy Boss Yang. He came back and held several rounds of meetings, and finally moved "Now You See Me" to be released on December 12th.
Only about 10 days were left for "The King's Feast", which is considered decent.
The news of "Now You See Me" being released immediately caused an uproar in the industry.
Looking at Zhou Yutang’s outstanding achievements, from Lu Chuan to fame in one battle, to Chen Kexing and Xu Ke
The sword will not kill the nameless general.
This is a bloody road surrounded by famous directors who have been famous for a long time.
The number one director of the new generation of commercial films has once again stepped onto the stage of the Lunar New Year festival. Who dares to test his talents?
“It’s set for December 12th?”
The Little Steel Cannon Man is still in Rome and is also paying close attention to the news in the domestic film industry.
After learning that Zhou Yutang had set a schedule, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the only opponent in "1942" during the same period was Lu Chuan.
As one of the three major directors, Xiaogangpao has his own pride.
He was afraid of Zhou Yutang, but he did not take the crying young man seriously.
……
"Are you sure?"
Bo Nayu's face also changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Another hungry tiger has come in. The schedule of "The Magic City" will be slightly adjusted and put on the 22nd! "
"Okay, Mr. Yu."
......
The Lunar New Year festival has always been a battleground for various film and television companies.
Zhou Yutang’s strong entry.
Triggered a series of chain reactions.
First of all, the person in charge of Sunglasses King's Great Man Film and Television took the lead in announcing: "Based on market opinions, "The Grandmaster" originally scheduled to be released on December 18th is scheduled to be adjusted to January and will be released in the Lunar New Year season. The finale, please look forward to it!”
The first major director took the lead to calmly leave the scene, and then Bona’s Fatty Yu also announced: “The release of “The Magic City” has been postponed to December 22. We are not afraid of competition and have adjusted the schedule in order to leave more room for consideration for other films and ourselves."
"Fatty Yu has such a tough mouth!"
"It's so funny, no one wants to touch Zhou Yutang."
"The Governor's record is too overbearing, anyone who dares to confront him head-on is really a tough guy."
"The boss is awesome!"< br>
“Now You See Me and Celebrating More Than Years are combined together, so I can finally have something good to eat in the New Year!”
……
The schedule of "Now You See Me" was confirmed, setting off a huge tsunami and quietly changing the entire Lunar New Year schedule.
Several movies originally scheduled for mid-December have been postponed. The media jokingly called this year's Lunar New Year schedule the "doomsday schedule."
Fatty Yu would rather compete with Huang Xiaoming's "Blood Drop" and Jackie Chan's "Twelve Zodiac Signs" than hit the muzzle of Zhou Yutang's gun.
This period is a period of high publicity, with online marketing and promotion, offline advertising in bus stations, subway stations and other places, billboards in theaters, and trailers being put in full swing.
Each of the four knights of K organization has an exclusive trailer.
Following Zhou Yutang, trailers for Deng Chao, Hu Ge, and Gulinazha were also released.
Three gorgeous magic tricks, stunning and dazzling, flashed by.
The Bank of Tokyo was instantly emptied of money, banknotes were flying in the sky, and the audio-visual experience was extremely stimulating to the senses, which has aroused the audience's expectations.
Zhou Yutang left the casting work of "In the Name of the People" to Han Sanping and began to participate in various variety show promotions.
The first stop is the Sixth Princess with whom we have a good relationship.
"Director Zhou, may I ask why you chose to put the movie on the schedule."
"The main reason is to expand the entire Lunar New Year schedule. I think this is more beneficial to the audience, theaters and producers. "
Zhou Yutang said: "This movie has great upgrades and innovations in terms of its story, scenes, special effects, etc. When everyone goes to the cinema and sees it, they will know. The quality is not inferior to imported Hollywood blockbusters."
When it comes to Guli Naza's almost danger, the host exclaimed: "Naza, were you scared at that time?"
"Very scared. ”
Nazha also read the script: "Everyone has seen the trailer. When I was in the box, my chain got really stuck. I swam to the bottom of the box, but couldn't get up. I was really desperate at that time. "
"Because that scene required me to show a panicked expression. At that time, everyone on the crew thought that my acting skills were outstanding, but in fact, I was really drowning, but no one noticed. Fortunately, the director saw it. When something went wrong, someone quickly turned on the prop switch and I was saved.”
“It’s really not easy.”
“.”
The interview is mainly about talking. The idea of filming the movie and the situations encountered, and some tidbits and revelations during the filming of the movie.
Zhou Yutang is a veteran of the world, and he handles things appropriately.
On the other hand, Gulinazha, who rarely came out to go on a trip with Zhou Yutang, felt indescribably happy.
Those bright, expectant eyes always drifted toward him.
The affection contained in it is so full that it is almost overflowing
