Chapter 510: To win over the sisters, a favor from the great director
“Brother, why did you leave Reba alone for so long?”
Gulina threw herself into Zhou Yutang happily. When he was in his arms, his expression was cheerful and his tone was sweet.
Zhou Yutang has more than three cunning burrows in the capital. Only this lounge in the office, where other women rarely come, has gradually become a small world exclusively for Nazha.
The sofas, bed sheets, and even some accessories and dolls here were all purchased and decorated by Nazha with great care.
Many places also left her with wonderful memories.
Outside there is still a need to show off, but here Naza has no scruples.
After waiting for a long time, seeing Zhou Yutang come in, joy instantly appeared on that beautiful face, and her delicate hands wrapped around the back of Zhou Yutang's neck.
The long, white legs also wrapped around his waist.
“Alas!”
Zhou Yutang sighed softly, held Nazha's hips, and sat down on the sofa with her in his arms.
"Brother, why did you sigh?"
Nazar blinked her beautiful eyes, her eyes clear.
"Reba's acting skills are incomparable to yours."
Zhou Yutang seemed to have a worried look on his eyebrows: "I'm really worried that she will delay the filming progress."
< br>
"So that's it."
Gulinazha nodded in sudden realization. She probably felt that she should also share Zhou Yutang's worries, and volunteered: "Brother, I will be on the set when the time comes, and I will teach her a lesson."
Good sister, where do you get your confidence?
As far as your acting skills are concerned, they are at least 50-50 equal to Reba.
A smile broke out on Zhou Yutang's face: "My Nazha is sensible and considerate. This project is very time-sensitive. With your help, I can save a lot of effort."
This sentence was both sensible and considerate, and it directly touched her heart.
Gulinazha immediately beamed: "We are all sisters from northern Xinjiang, I will definitely give her a hand."
"Do you often play together?"
"It's not that often. After my brother and I acted in "Now You See Me", my schedule is quite busy. Reba is studying in the Magic City. Sometimes I will make announcements about my going to the Magic City, or she will come to the capital. , everyone will also make an appointment to get together."
Zhou Yutang listened patiently to Gulinazha's chatter.
It wasn't anything big, but she just had a desire to talk and wanted to share every detail of her life with Zhou Yutang.
"Brother, are you going to Inner Mongolia to shoot first? Can I go with you on your private plane?"
When Gulinazha acts coquettishly, she is like a soft baby Cat.
“Not this time.”
Zhou Yutang said seriously: “You have to leave in advance with Reba and the others to adapt to the shooting environment there.”
Filming is like fighting, the soldiers and horses have not moved yet, but the food and grass go first.
A few producers used money to clear the way, and the logistics team set off first, and the crew's food, accommodation and travel had already been arranged.
When the time comes, Guo Fan will lead the team there first and adapt to the environment in advance.
Zhou Yutang still has many things to do in the capital.
The script meeting for "Chi Ling" and the scenes in Jinling in "In the Name of the People" have been completed. He will be back to shoot the scenes in Beijing soon. He has to meet Han Sanping.
"Okay then."
Nazar has never been good at concealing her emotions, her delicate little face drooped, and even her little mouth pursed.
Although she was a little depressed, she still leaned in Zhou Yutang's arms obediently.
"There will be a chance in the future."
Zhou Yutang couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gently slid it on the snow-condensed cheek. The extremely warm and soft touch made him lightly Laugh out loud:
"Your movie "A Little Smile Is Allure" has to be postponed temporarily. Chen Xiao has too many things to do now."
After Zhang Ruojun went out to run his own studio, no matter how good the relationship between Zhou Yutang and him was, the company The resources here will no longer be given priority to him.
Friendship is friendship, business is business, Zhou Yutang knows this very well.
Zhu Yilong signed a pension contract, and his schedule is almost scheduled to the year after next, so Chen Xiao and Li Jian naturally took over Zhang Ruojun's vacancy.
Chen Xiaoguang has two dramas this year: "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" and "A Little Smile Is Alluring", as well as another "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that I got from Yu Zheng, all of them are It's a male protagonist.
Li Jianren is on the set of "The Maze of the Heart", and when it is over there, he will also have arrangements.
"I, I, listen to my brother."
As Gulinazha spoke, her legs tightly wrapped the hand.
My eyes are blurred, and my breathing is getting faster and faster. The curves where there should be are not very majestic, but they are constantly rising and falling.
Unfortunately, the beautiful thing was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the cell phone.
Zhou Yutang took out his hand and took the phone. When he saw it, it was the number of Zhou Ningfeng, director of Jiangsu Provincial Station.
He instantly let go of Gulinazha's slender waist, and his expression became serious.
If there is nothing important, Zhou Ningfeng will basically not make phone calls during the day.
Enjoy when you should enjoy and do things when you should.
Zhou Yutang will not let the small head control the big head.
Jinling TV.
Conference room.
Suzhou TV station director Zhou Ningfeng was in a meeting when his secretary suddenly looked heavy and walked in quickly from outside.
The people sitting in the conference room were all senior executives of Suzhou TV Station, including the person in charge of the variety show department.
At this time, everyone's eyes were all focused on him, and they were vaguely speculating in their hearts.
"I just got the news"
Zhou Ningfeng frowned after hearing what the secretary said.
My mind was spinning rapidly, after integrating the information, I tapped my fingers on the table: "Shi Xiaolong, a guest of the Tianchao Star jumping column over the blue platform, was accompanied by an 18-year-old accompanying assistant, who was diving at the training base of the State Sports General Administration In the hall, he accidentally drowned. "
"How could this happen?"
The conference room was in an uproar, especially the person in charge of the Suzhou TV diving variety show, who was sweating. .
When this happens in a variety show, the problem is serious.
Zhou Ningfeng had a serious expression on his face: "We must put the safety and protection of guests on reality shows and variety shows first. Have you implemented it?"
"Director, on the day when we entertained Director Zhou In the evening, you gave your order."
The director of the diving variety show wiped the sweat from his forehead and said carefully: "On our side, everyone has a national team coach to follow and guide them throughout the process. Lifeguards are standing by to protect against accidents.”
“After this show is finished, I don’t want to see any accidents happen.”
Zhou Ningfeng made a decisive decision: "In the future, you can consider cooperating with Mingjie for variety shows. Professional opinions are very important."
After the meeting, he suddenly remembered what Zhou Yutang said that night.
Something really happened.
Zhou Ningfeng couldn't help but feel a little scared.
After all, he was the one who gave the nod to this homemade variety show. If this happened on Suzhou TV and someone with an intention made a fuss about it, it would definitely be a big blow to his reputation. of blow.
Listen to others and eat enough.
There is nothing wrong with this sentence.
Zhou Yutang’s vision is indeed great.
Paper cannot contain fire.
Especially in the Internet age.
Blue Channel immediately issued an apology notice and received a program rectification notice from the superiors.
In fact, the more he interacts with people from these TV stations, the more Zhou Yutang understands the inside story.
At the beginning of the new year, "Celebrating More Than Years" became a hit, and Blue Channel reached an unprecedented peak in ratings, rushing into the top five domestic satellite TV ratings.
As a result, something like this happened and was criticized by countless people.
Zhou Yutang glanced at the online comments.
According to the internal information he got from Zhou Ningfeng, other staff in the venue were staring at Shi Xiaolong who was training on the platform.
No one noticed what was happening on the other side of the pool. Since there was no struggle or shouting, the 18-year-old assistant just drowned.
If something like this happens on Blue Channel, there is no doubt that it will be implicated in Suzhou TV’s programs. This type of variety show is over.
Zhou Yutang held a video conference with Tian Ming, "Brother Ming, Zhou Ningfeng wants to find Mingjie to do a new variety show."
"I will ask Zhang Yibei to go over there and have a meeting. , discuss the content format and plan. ”
Zhou Yutang is not in Shanghai, but the situation of Mingjie Company is under control.
Overall, things are stable and improving.
In the past, Mingjie Company relied on him to lead the company alone and firmly occupied the leading position in domestic variety shows.
However, after going public, it also attracted a lot of talents, expanded its business again, and began to undertake variety shows from TV stations other than Yusanjia.
There are relatively mediocre variety shows, and there are also ones with good ratings.
The best among them is the new series of programs "Dance My Life" announced at CCTV's 2013 advertising bidding meeting.
This is a variety show jointly created by CCTV and Mingjie Company. The ratings of the first season premiere were as high as 2.14%, which can be regarded as a hit variety show.
It can at least bring tens of millions of profits to Mingjie Company.
Now the most important project of Mingjie Company is still controlled by Zhou Yutang behind the scenes, but he will basically not interfere too much in other variety show projects.
"Dancing Out of My Life" is a planning plan made by the planning department of Mingjie Company.
In addition, the planning department has also come up with many practical variety show plans.
Zhou Yutang was very pleased.
This is the healthy operating model of a listed company.
Lu Yang used an embroidered spring knife to kill through the National Day stalls.
With this overnight success, he is now a leader among the new generation of directors in the industry.
Rare people are not floating either.
"Director Zhou, in front of you, I feel that I still have a lot of room for improvement."
"Okay, I have learned this trick."
Zhou Yutang He joked: "You want to make progress too much."
Wen Muye was also happy: "This flattery is very good."
"What I said is the truth."
Lu Yang was helpless.
He is an honest man and must be telling the truth.
After making achievements, there were countless flowers and applause, and I was also praised highly by some people.
At first I was a little arrogant, which is human nature, but then I saw Zhou Yutang and I felt at ease.
It swept across Asia and topped the Chinese movie box office list. Facing the outstanding achievements of Jiangdong's signature Zhou Yutang, Lu Yang really couldn't stand up.
After some unavoidable socializing, he began to tinker with the script of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" with his good partner, and ran to Jiangdong Entertainment Creation Center from time to time.
This is also a very profitable series of movies for the company, and he has been assigned several screenwriters to work together to perfect the entire story.
Zhou Yutang sipped the tea: "How is the story of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" done?"
"I have written a brand new third edition and need to revise it again. ”
"Take your time, this series, get a good reputation."
"Well, Director Zhou, when will you join the team?" "Wait a few more days and let Guo Fan go first."
Lu Yang and Wen Muye looked at each other and poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yutang. Zhou Yutang said with a faint smile, "What do you have to say?"
Scratching his head, Lu Yang chuckled: "Director Zhou, Mosquito and I want to join a group study together."
"Don't mosquitoes also have a notebook?"
Zhou Yutang glanced at Wen Muye in surprise.
After "Rescue Mr. My Life", Wen Muye is also considered a new generation director who has become famous, and there is definitely no shortage of projects to do.
He threw over a script he had written before, but he felt that the overall structure was a bit flawed, and Wen Muye was still revising it.
“I want to let it go first.”
Wen Muye pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled honestly: "Director Zhou, the main reason is that the project of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is rare, so I have discussed it with Lao Lu and want to learn more by your side."
He knew that Zhou Yutang was a little behind schedule this time and had a movie project in the second half of the year, so he offered to help.
"Come on, then..."
Zhou Yutang felt warm and nodded happily.
Guo Fan, Wen Muye, Lu Yang, Jiangdong's three generals are all in place, plus the genius director Xu Ke, the team behind "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is incredibly rich.
Only he can integrate resources to this extent.
With him as the main player, and with the help of these elite soldiers and generals, the overall quality of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will undoubtedly be improved a lot.
After chatting with the three people about the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" project for a while, Lu Yang shook his head and said, "Hua Yi has been unlucky recently." When it came to the film industry, Wen Muye was a little gloating about his misfortune. : "The movie "Loyal Yang General" only sold 11 million on the first day, which was a huge flop."
This movie was written by Zhou Yutang's old friend Huang Ziheng and directed by Yu Rentai.
In addition, there is a super luxurious cast composed of Xu Fan, Zheng Yinjian, Yu Bo, Zhou Yuming, Li Cheng, Lin Feng, Wu Zun, Fu Xinbo, An Yixuan, and Shao Bin.
With a capital of 170 million yuan, at least 500 million box office is required to make a profit. It must be a waste of money.
“I remember, Director Zhou seemed to have said that.”
Lu Yang also smiled and said: “Any historical film dominated by people from Xiangjiang, one by one, no one will be spared.”< br>
“Form is greater than content, that’s for sure.”
"Du Qifeng was not ideal this time either. He was beaten by the national master."
"Du Qifeng's movie is still good."
Zhou Yutang could only say that Du Qifeng was unlucky.
Although Director Du is a big troll on the set, but we have never worked together before, he personally still prefers the style of Director Du’s movies.
"Gunfire", "Dark War" and "Underworld" are two parts. In the past two years, I heard that the third part was already being prepared. I was also looking forward to whether the club could hit the moon, but there was no news yet.
The first movie to enter the mainland market with Hairun failed, causing Du Qifeng's reputation to be greatly damaged.
With the reputation he has accumulated, he will definitely not run out of films.
But compared to Wu Baige’s once famous performance in Hollywood, after all, he lacks some background.
The entertainment industry is very realistic. If you mess up a big project, then capital will put a question mark on you.
In the future, most of the big productions in the industry will have no connection with Sir Du.
However, the Cannes organizing committee has just announced the list of shortlisted films. "Blind Detective" directed by Johnnie To and co-starring Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng, has been shortlisted for the midnight screening section.
“This year Director Jia Ke’s new film “Destined” has been shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, which is very promising.”
“Bao Hao’s performance is indeed good.”
< br>When Chief Jia came to Vision Media to do the post-production, Zhou Yutang also watched the finished film.
This kind of realistic-themed movies is really his specialty.
Lin Chong ran at night, Jiang Wu drew his gun, people unleashed murderous intent, and the world turned upside down. It was very exciting to watch.
Bao's part is also very good. He is probably based on Zhou Kehua. Where is there any hint of honesty and honesty?
Wang Baojun in the play is just like an outlaw.
How many extras did it take to create such a treasure?
Wang Bao's acting talent is indeed a blessing from God.
As soon as we talked about Bao E, something happened to Bao E.
Zhou Yutang received the news that Wang Baoji had been in a car accident while staying at Gao Yuanyuan's house.
"Bao Yu, how are you?"
They are all good friends. Zhou Yutang called him, and Damei Yuan lay beside him and listened.
“Fortunately, it’s nothing serious. Just as we were leaving the studio after work, we were hit by a large truck.”
"I was sitting in the car and could see clearly that the big truck was heading towards our car. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and dodged. Otherwise, I don't know what the consequences would have been."
Wang Bao's voice showed the luck of his life after the disaster, and he still expressed his gratitude: "Yu Tang, I'm so sorry that I made you worry so late at night."
"As long as everything is alright, I wish you the best. Winning an award at Cannes."
"Hey, I'd like to give you some good advice."
Liu Yifei has joined the cast of "Super Body" and often chats with Zhou Yutang after filming.
It's just that there was a jet lag between the two sides, so filming was tiring, but she was also rather sleepy.
While we were chatting often, we could hear no sound over there, and occasionally we could hear two sweet whispers in our sleep.
While filming, Miss Liu did not forget to ask Aunt Liu to donate to the domestic Ya'an natural disaster in late April.
In addition to donating money, Liu Shishi also took time off from the crew to attend a large-scale earthquake charity party with Damimi.
Zhou Yutang never lags behind others when it comes to this kind of thing, and he never sends any press releases.
This time he contacted Brother Dong, and JD Logistics moved forward quickly, sending truckloads of supplies to help Sichuan.
"The Hunt" has been in theaters for two weeks, with a box office revenue of 285 million, and a single-day box office drop of 13 million."
After Lao Mouzi led the team to complete the road show, the box office finally inevitably dropped. , after all, it is limited by the subject matter of the movie. Even if the reputation explodes, the upper limit is there.
But the film and television companies in the circle still couldn't help but be shocked.
Zhou Yutang and Zhang Yimou, their box office appeal is simply terrifying.
This year Soochow Pictures' first film "Introduction to Architecture" has a box office of over 400 million.
Now this literary film "Hunting" has a chance to hit a box office of 400 million, which is quite scary.
The key point is that these two movies are both low-cost projects, with profits at least 10 times the cost, which is simply enviable to the point of numbness.
But before people in the film and television industry could calm down, the Tin Woodman gave them a little shock.
CCTV News announced the news via Weibo: "Iron Man 3, which was released in mainland China on May 1st, grossed 130 million in one-day box office, becoming the highest-grossing single-day box office movie in mainland China history!"
The record was originally held by "Now You See Me".
In less than half a year, it was already broken, and the entire film industry was shocked.
In the international market, "Iron Man 3" opened in IMAX theaters for five days, with a total box office of US$198.4 million.
Compared with the 130-minute international version, the special Chinese version only has 3 minutes longer. The two Chinese actors have very few scenes. Wang Xueqi has about eight or nine lines in the whole film.
As for Fan Binbin, there are only about three sentences.
"The production of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is about to start, and the logistics team of the crew has already set off to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia."
The crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", with a total of several hundred people, set off from the capital in a mighty manner, the websites of various entertainment portals There are many reports.
Many people in the circle are also paying attention. Those two low-budget movies are just appetizers. The projects that Zhou Yutang personally manages are the highlight.
After first having a meeting with Han Sanping who arrived in Beijing, and then meeting with Lu Wei, Zhou Yutang finally set off after arranging the company's affairs.
“The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind and you can see the cattle and sheep.”
From the steel city to this lush and magnificent Hulunbuir grassland, I felt particularly comfortable.
The banks of the Mozhgrad River, hailed by the famous writer Lao She as "the best meandering river in the world", were used for several scenes of Hu Bayi and Xiao Ding in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
In fact, most of the important scenes of this movie were shot in a studio.
The location was not difficult, so Zhou Yutang asked Guo Fan to try it out, but looking at Nazha's performance behind the monitor, he still couldn't help but shout to stop.
The field manager beside him saw the opportunity and raised his loudspeaker: "Nazha, the monitor is here."
Gulinazha's heart tightened.
She also wanted to help her sisters, but she didn't expect that she had a problem.
With so many people, they have no chance to act cute, so they can only blush and prepare to be criticized.
“Let me ask you, do you know what Ding Sitian’s role is?”
“Jumping in line in the grassland with Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, they are the first love they share. Good at singing and dancing"
Nazha really worked hard: "You are also beautiful, which shocked the two of them."
"I want you to show the simple beauty of that era. You just looked like a vixen."
"Director, I was wrong."
"Do it again."
Zhou Yutang had a cold face and showed no mercy at all for fucking his sister.
Fortunately, this scene was not difficult, and it was easy to pass after a few repetitions.
After finishing work, while enjoying the grassland style, I suddenly received a call from Director Li An,
"Director Zhou, has the film "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" started?"
"The scenery here in Inner Mongolia is very nice. Director Li will come and take a look when he has time."
"I will definitely do it if I have the chance."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and Li An probably felt that they were done, so he said: "Director Zhou, this is the 50th year of the Golden Horse Awards. The executive committee decided after a meeting that I hope you can serve as the Golden Horse Award winner together with Zhang Manyu. Ambassador, you are also the presenter of this year’s Golden Horse Awards. Do you have time?”
“Me?”
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
He vaguely knew that a busy person like Li An would definitely not come to him if nothing happened.
The most likely one is Li An’s Golden Horse Award this year. Although the award ceremony is near the end of the year, many things have to be decided in advance.
After all, he had to coordinate the other party's schedule. He originally thought he would be an award guest, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing as a Golden Horse Ambassador.
"Yes."
Li An on the other end of the phone sounded serious: "Your influence in Asia is unparalleled. I think you and Zhang Manyu should be the Golden Horse Ambassadors together. It's perfect."
"Director Li, I may not have a schedule then."
"I have considered this."
Li An continued: "As the Golden Horse Ambassador, there is an image advertisement for the film festival that needs to be shot. I don't have to take on other publicity work. It will be arranged by the executive committee."
Hearing Lao Li's explanation, Zhou Yutang understood. .
This is a sign of winning the Golden Horse Awards because of his popularity as one of the top stars in Asia.
Zhou Yutang said righteously and solemnly: "Director Li said it himself, I will support him no matter what."
"Thank you, Yu Tang."
Li An laughed when he heard this: "When the time comes, I will communicate with your assistant about the commercial shooting time."
4 Golden Horse Best Actress and 1 Supporting Actress Award, the Berlin and Cannes Double Best Actress is here Hand, Zhang Manyu is undoubtedly a legend in the entire Chinese film industry.
Wouldn’t it be great to dance with the legendary goddess?
Of course.
The most important thing is Li An’s favor.
Favors come and go, and only when things come and go do people have favors.
Li An's favor is undoubtedly quite valuable.
