Chapter 690: Heroes of the world, beauties in cheongsam
"Captain Zhou traveled a thousand miles with each passing day, fighting fiercely in the air with two beauties!" 』
『The Asian King arrived in Hong Kong for a new drama, causing congestion at the airport and causing hundreds of Hong Kong girls to go crazy! 』
『Boss Yinghuang Yang and Anlejiang personally picked him up at the airport, and the three major entertainment giants met! 』
Just arrived in Xiangjiang.
Zhou Yutang felt the enthusiasm of the local media.
Even reports of fierce battles with beautiful women in the air came out.
Soon, the news of landing in Xiangjiang also made the headlines in the mainland.
Of course.
The editors-in-chief of several mainstream portal websites have a tacit understanding.
——Some local news in Xiangjiang that is rude to Zhou Yutang is not allowed to be reported in the mainland.
In addition to reporting on the popularity of the film, it also gave an in-depth introduction to the film and television project "Chilling 2".
"Chill 2" is controlled by the two Hong Kong giants Anle and Yinghuang, plus China Film Group and Goose Factory funds.
Aaron Kwok, Tony Leung Ka-fai and Chow Yun-fat star in the film.
Yang Caini, Wen Yongshan, Peng Yuyan, Zhao Youting, etc. are all popular actors of the new generation.
The biggest star is naturally Zhou Yutang, who stars as a special guest.
Hong Kong media claims that this is the biggest police and gangster film in Hong Kong in the past ten years, and it is also the most promising mega-production to become a hit.
Boss Yang and Jiang owe a favor to Zhou Yutang for agreeing to make a cameo appearance.
So the pomp and circumstance was huge, and a reception banquet was arranged. Many celebrities from Hong Kong came that night.
Now, if you want to make a living in the mainland, you have to worship this fairy pier.
Huo Wenxi had work abroad and did not return to Xiangjiang until the next day.
As expected of a strong woman, she doesn’t need to rest at all and just goes straight to work.
"Sister mani, are Director Lin okay?"
On the way to the set, Zhou Yutang asked with concern.
Since the filming of "Operation Mekong", the scenes in Bangkok are coming to an end.
In order to speed up the progress, Lin Chaoxian took another group of people and transferred to Malaysia first.
While filming a jungle scene a few days ago, something unexpected happened.
Due to being too focused, Director Lin did not pay attention to his surroundings. A six-inch long poisonous centipede accidentally penetrated his pants and bit his ankle. He was rushed to the hospital on the spot.
How long is six inches?
1 inch is about 3.33 centimeters, then 6 inches is about 6×3.33=19.98 centimeters.
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
In this relatively primitive jungle, there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, some of which are even poisonous, which is no joke.
"Everyone is fine."
Huo Wenxi sighed: "It's just that the environmental situation is a bit complicated, which may slow down the progress."
She is the chief housekeeper of the crew and is very Arrangements were quickly made to prepare water boots and serum for every staff member, and medical specialists were invited to supervise on site to prevent accidents.
"According to the current shooting progress, it will be at least until February next year."
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.
Shooting abroad, coupled with a lot of live shooting, has uncontrollable factors.
The shooting was a little slower than expected, which is understandable.
As long as the movie quality is okay, it's a small matter.
"Chilling 2" started filming in August and has entered the late stages of filming.
In order to accommodate Zhou Yutang's schedule, the director team specially adjusted the shooting plan and concentrated his scenes on that day.
Guo Tianwang and Liang Jiahui are both acquaintances, and Peng Yuyan even acted in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".
Hong Kong girl Ashan, then she will know the basics even better...
After saying hello, Zhou Yutang was professional enough to ignore Wen Yongshan's flirtatious glances.
Wang Jing also followed the crew.
This fat man is like a candy, saying that he wants to learn from Zhou Yutang.
"Mr. Zhou, this is today's shooting schedule."
The directors are still Liang Lemin and Lu Jianqing. Even though they are telling the story, they maintain the necessary respect.
Chill's story looks like a regular police procedural, but it's not.
Hong Kong was once a British colony in the last century, and later the Chinese Empire rose.
The trend is unstoppable and return is a given.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Daiying had no choice but to turn into a troublemaker and leave behind a hidden secret in Xiangjiang.
Trying to create chaos and disgust the Celestial Empire.
The big boss in this drama, Cai Yuanqi, symbolizes the remnants of Hong Kong music.
On the surface.
The disappearance of the assault vehicle triggered a power struggle in the police force between Guo Tianwang and Liang Jiahui.
In the previous film, the rivalry scene between the two movie stars spouting lines and performing furiously is also a classic scene.
The second part of "Chill" slowly fills in the mysteries in the previous story, while revealing more in subtle ways.
From the high-level dispute within the Hong Kong police force, it has evolved into the struggle between the law enforcement department and the legislative department, and then to the entire high-level power in Hong Kong.
Through the side description, the game between the two behemoths is brought out.
Use Xiangjiang as the chessboard.
Using all living beings as pawns.
The difference between this series and conventional police and gangster films is probably its broad layout.
Zhou Yutang's guest role symbolizes the power of the Celestial Empire behind it.
Probably the purpose of appearing at the end of the movie is to dig a hole and attract more viewers.
He didn’t put on any airs. After chatting with the two directors, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart,
“Boss Jiang’s background is quite impressive.”
It has to be said that the Cold War series passed the review, which is definitely the result of the boss Anlejiang’s behind-the-scenes operation.
I just don’t know how to shoot the third part if the tone is so high?
Boss Jiang, who has participated in many blockbusters in the Chinese film industry for ten years, such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "Lust, Caution", is also a film industry that many people ignore Predator.
There is a scene of Zhou Yutang answering the phone in a Hongqi car. This is a call to a senior executive in Xiangjiang.
In addition, there is also a scene of King Guo giving instructions face-to-face.
Liu Tianwang played the role of security chief Lu Minghua in the first part of "Cold War".
The meaning of this name is worth pondering.
The second part, King Liu Tianwang, was not scheduled and the situation escalated. Zhou Yutang directly parachuted into Xiangjiang, which represented the attitude of the Celestial Dynasty.
The sword was also given to King Guo Tianwang Shangfang.
A few lines were not difficult at all for Zhou Yutang.
Wearing a pressed suit, he has a stern face, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and he is upright.
Every move he made carried a deep sense of oppression unique to those in power.
The shooting scene attracted many crew members to watch.
It is rare for Governor Zhou to come here all year round.
"Now You See Me 2", which was also released in the domestic film market, was also the local box office champion in Hong Kong last month.
After the last shot at the General Administration, Wen Yongshan handed over a bouquet of flowers at the right time with a sweet smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhou on finishing the shoot."
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Yutang reluctantly took the flowers, and by the way, he also took the light and soft body of this Hong Kong-style beauty.
Compared with the hot look in "Equator" last year, Wen Yongshan adopts an intellectual style in this drama.
The suit of a working woman, paired with big waves, and the elegant camellia-scented perfume on her body gave her a lot of points.
“Congratulations to Mr. Zhou on finalizing the project!”
"Congratulations, congratulations, it's a wrap."
Everyone on the crew said auspicious words.
Seeing Wen Yongshan throw himself into his arms, instead of being surprised, he cheered and applauded in good faith.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so what kind of charade are they playing?
Who doesn’t know that Governor Zhou is very energetic?
In just the past few years, Wen Yongshan has been able to climb to the top position of the top actress in Hong Kong. All tabloids in Hong Kong have already written badly about it, secretly pointing out that Governor Zhou is the big boss who supports her rise to the top.
“A Tang, when will you go back?”
Huo Wenxi also looked at Wen Yongshan who took Zhou Yutang’s arm with a smile.
"Go back to Beijing tomorrow."
"So urgent?"
Huo Wenxi advised: "It's better to stay here for a few more days. Ashan is free these days and can be your tour guide."
Wen Yongshan also raised his head and looked at her with faint eyes. Glowing with hope.
“Next time.”
Zhou Yutang laughed: “There is a movie premiere, Double Eleven is coming soon, and there are several important meetings.”
Hearing a certain keyword, Huo Wenxi's heart moved slightly.
Wen Yongshan also has a very active mind.
She immediately thought that the man next to her seemed to be a shareholder of Jingdong, the top Internet capital tycoon.
This year Jingdong sounded the clarion call to attack Ali's dominance.
The battle between these two gods is probably something that the entire capital circle is paying attention to.
At Zhou Yutang's request, there was no flashy closing banquet, just a private gathering.
certainly.
Eating is not the purpose.
Huo Wenxi is extremely eager to carry out follow-up cooperation with Zhou Yutang.
Since the beginning of this year, local films in Hong Kong have been losing money every time they make a film, and the whole country is in mourning.
Only Mr. Jiang's "Monster Hunting" became a blockbuster, but how much of it is unknown.
Next to her, Wen Yongshan was chatting in a low voice with three women, Ni Ni and Qiu Yinong. Zhou Yutang was leaning on the seat, his legs naturally crossed, in a relaxed state.
Tonight, Fatty Wang came to join me for dinner again, and he toasted very enthusiastically, making his face turn red.
Although he looks greasy, he has a clear mind.
The combined box office of his two "Movies" series is more than 1 billion, and it seems to be running rampant in Hong Kong.
But in front of Zhou Yutang, there was nothing he could do.
Jiangdong alone has achieved four movies exceeding 1 billion this year, and Zhou Yutang is also a well-deserved leader in domestic entertainment.
What Fatty Wang is greedy for is Zhou Yutang's judgment on the market trend.
Producing a film and television drama, the lowest hit, there are many phenomenal hits.
So I want to ask for advice and want to explore the aesthetic tastes of the mainland market audience,
"Come on, Mr. Zhou, let me toast you again and wish you a great box office success in the New Year."
Zhou Yutang looked at Fatty Wang, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, and chuckled: "Sister Mani, you often say that it is difficult to make a Hong Kong movie. In fact, you can start with the heroes with legendary experiences in the last century."
"Hero?" Huo Wenxi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
"Lame Hao, Lei Luo!?" Before she could turn around, the fat Wang Jing's eyes lit up behind his glasses, and he slapped his thigh.
Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.
People should not be judged by their appearance. This top student from the Chinese Department of the University of Hong Kong really has something.
Hong Kong in the last century also had a very glorious past.
Many heroes took advantage of the situation.
People such as Inspector Lei Luo of 500 Million, the underworld tycoon Lai Hao and others are all the trendsetters of the times.
This can be regarded as a classic IP of Xiangjiang movies. As early as the 1990s, Liu Guochang filmed two "The Legend of Inspector Lei Luo" in succession.
It brings together many well-known Hong Kong stars such as Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, and Ng Meng-tat.
The combined box office of the two movies is more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars!
That’s more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars in 1991!
Both of them entered the forefront of the Hong Kong movie box office of the year, which is quite impressive.
Fatty Wang himself is a screenwriter and producer, and he knows all about this, and his tone is a little excited.
Huo Wenxi glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Ah Tang, Director Wang also made "Empire of Money" a few years ago, and the box office was not very satisfactory."
"The market will change."
Zhou Yutang knew that Huo Wenxi was talking about the movie about instant noodles giving Liang Jiahui a wife: "Director Wang's "Empire of Money" is mainly about anti-corruption. I don't think the audience may want to watch this."
< br>"What do they want to see?"
Not only was Huo Wenxi curious, Fatty Wang's ears perked up.
Even Wen Yongshan, Qiu Yinong and other women who were chatting became quiet and turned their attention to Zhou Yutang.
“From the perspective of the audience, what do you want to see most?”
Zhou Yutang steadily picked up the red wine glass, took a shallow sip, and then gently put it down,
"The real life of the audience is already depressing enough. Most people go to the cinema not to pursue art, but to briefly obtain emotional value that cannot be obtained in ordinary life."
"So comedy movies For a long time, the two Thieves movies were box office hits because the magic was not real, but the audience was willing to pretend it was real"
"I have a suggestion for restarting the Legend of Lei Luo. It can be cut from the perspective of a lame man, how a little gangster became a lord of the world.
The friendship between him and Lei Luo can reflect the magnificent but magnificent story. In the deformed era, there is also the Kowloon Walled City that must be mentioned, which can be picked out separately and opened in another series."
"Huh?"
Huo Wenxi can't keep up at all. Zhou Yutang’s wild ideas.
Fat Wang also had a dull look on his face.
"I have read a comic here in Xiangjiang. It seems to be called "Kowloon Walled City". It was drawn by Situ Jianqiao. It is very good."
Zhou Yutang has always paid attention to the layout of the animation industry and has also read comics in Xiangjiang. .
The comic industry in Xiangjiang in the early years was really good.
"Wind and Cloud" is a film and television drama adapted from a classic comic book. It was a great success and became popular all over the world.
I don’t know how many boys have ever wielded a wooden stick, imagining that they were holding a peerless sword.
There is also the "Young and Dangerous" series. Brother Haonan is also the god in the hearts of many gangsters.
For example, "Chinese Heroes", "Dragon Tiger Gate", etc., all have a considerable audience group.
“Restarting the Legend of Lei Luo is indeed a good idea.”
Fatty Wang has thoroughly researched the mainland’s best-selling movies and proactively raised questions: “But I’m afraid the box office limit won’t be too high. "High."
"Then make a movie with a high box office limit. "The Magician" and "The Magician" are both magic-themed movies, so how do they compare in box office?"
Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "It's normal to be unable to adapt to the market. If I were asked to make a Hong Kong film, I wouldn't be able to adapt to the market."
"Why? Because I have never lived in Hong Kong. I don't know what local audiences want." What do you want?"
After a pause, Zhou Yutang continued: "Although the Chinese film and television market is evolving, the upper limit for gangster and action drama movies may not be high, but as long as you work hard, you will still be able to do it. There is room for survival, as was the case with "Slaying the Wolf 2" the year before last.
While restarting Lei Luo, we must set up the Kowloon Walled City in real-life, and then we can also shoot a movie about the Kowloon Walled City."
“Can you still play like this?”
Huo Wenxi was startled for a moment, and then his mind started to change.
Fatty Wang felt even more enlightened.
Convinced.
He was completely convinced.
From a purely capital perspective, if he is on the first floor, Zhou Yutang is on the fifth floor.
According to Zhou Yutang's idea, two films were shot at almost the cost of 1.5 movies, which increased the error tolerance.
"If you really want to do it, put more thought into the script."
"A Tang, will you write the script?" Huo Wenxi was more concerned about this.
"The most I can tell you is a synopsis of the story. This kind of book should have a Hong Kong flavor."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed, and named Wang Jing: "I can let Director Wang do the details. In the end I check.”
Wang Jing is a screenwriter with a background as a flyer.
In the golden age of Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and 1990s, you could make money just by turning on the movie.
So a lot of crews are not formal at all. They usually have a rough idea or story outline, with a certain star starring in the picture, and the boss is willing to pay for it.
Assemble a team quickly and get started.
During the filming process, the screenwriter will constantly modify and improve the script according to the director's requirements.
Whatever plot is written that day, the script paper will be sent to the director and starring actors as fast as possible, and then the crew will film it.
Wang Jing is a talented person, and in terms of ability, there is definitely no problem.
A large part of the staff of Xiangjiang Film and Television actually have no problem with their ability, but there is a problem with their attitude.
But Fatty Wang’s attitude is very clear.
He just wants to make money.
Get money for the big boss and eat the meat yourself.
Such a simple truth has supported him to this day.
Hearing Zhou Yutang ordered his will, in order to express his gratitude, Fatty Wang drank three more glasses of red wine in a row, causing a lot of rainbow farts.
Greasy is greasy, but the expression of emotions is extremely smooth. "Thanks to Mr. Zhou's love, I grew up in that era. What I longed for most was the Lei Luo series of movies."
"First of all I guess I’ll have to wait until next year to work on the script.”
"Why don't you stay in Xiangjiang for a few more days?"
The top floor of Tianhui has a panoramic view of the bustling night view of Xiangjiang. It is already the aftertaste of spring. Wen Yongshan is like a ragdoll cat, leaning against Zhou Yutang's hand. On the shoulders, the breath is like orchid.
At this time, the snow gauze has faded away, and the shoulders are smooth, showing that the whole body is flawless.
"Good boy, it really won't work this time."
Zhou Yutang was lying on his back, sending a message to Liu Shishi.
After finishing the first sister, he patted Wen Yongshan on the head: "I have said hello to Sister Mani. There are suitable roles in these two movies. She will arrange more opportunities for you in the future."
“You are an enemy.”
The most famous actress in Hong Kong had a flash of resentment in her eyes, which instantly turned into a seductive look.
She sat up astride, put the big waves behind her head, and bowed her head obediently.
Liu Shishi checked her makeup in the mirror.
Considering that Zhou Yutang said on the phone that today he was wearing a black casual suit, specially paired with a white floral dress.
The lace veil bow design on the neckline is not too grand, but dignified and elegant, which can set off your temperament.
When Zhou Yutang attends such a public occasion, he will definitely become the center of media attention.
Not long ago, Liu Tianxian was reported by the media to be the most beautiful woman at Nortel’s school anniversary.
Liu Shishi has seen the news during this period. After Liu Tianxian started performing in dramas, due to his popularity, the performance in Beijing was full on the day.
Now I went to Jinling with the team to perform, and the tickets were sold out again.
It was listed on hot searches and received many positive reviews.
Even some actresses in the industry have also joined in drama performances.
Suddenly, the unpopular drama industry also started to rise.
Liu Shishi, cheer up, you must not lose!
After replying to Zhou Yutang's message, Liu Shishi adjusted the color of his lower lip, then raised his fist in front of the mirror and made a cheering gesture for himself.
Just after returning to Beijing from Xiangjiang, Zhou Yutang took Liu Shishi to attend the premiere of "Master".
This movie was the one he led to film school teacher Xu Haofeng.
Controlled by Enlight, jointly produced by Wanda and Jiangdong, and distributed by Maoyan.
The total investment is 35 million, which is a low-cost production, but it has a powerful cast including Berlin Best Actor Liao Fan, Xiao Songjia, and Aunt Wenli.
In addition, Li Jian, a young student from Jiangdong, plays Geng Liangchen, the apprentice of Wing Chun master Chen Shi in "The Master".
The entertainment industry has begun to enter the era of traffic. Without traffic, there will be no attention on film and television projects.
Geng Liangchen, a wild and unruly man with extraordinary talent, made Zhou Yutang's eyes shine.
Li Jian's acting skills have improved greatly and he understands the role very well.
However, compared to Liao Fan and Xiao Song Jia, they are obviously not as good as they are.
Let me talk about Zhou Yutang’s deepest impression of this movie.
Probably it was Liao Fan’s street fight.
The ultimate use of space creates a tense and exciting atmosphere.
Chen Shi holds the Eight-Zhan Sword and fights against all the martial arts masters in Jincheng alone.
Low, fierce, and very stylish.
The audience at the premiere was very generous and applauded warmly.
That’s what Xu Haofeng is like.
His movies may not have strong commercial attributes.
But in the eyes of a small group of people, it definitely belongs to Tiancai.
"Mr. Zhou, what do you think of the movie "Master"?"
After watching the movie and being interviewed by the media, Zhou Yutang also expressed his praise:
“This is one of the most exciting martial arts films in recent years. It is a completely different style from the previous martial arts films that used to fly over walls and walls. Director Xu told everyone It shows a martial arts scene in the Republic of China that is close to reality..."
After simply accepting the interview, Zhou Yutang left the scene to Xu Haofeng, and left early with Liu Shishi.
Except for the realistic fighting scenes, the one that impressed him most was probably the hormone-filled sex scene between Liao Fan and Xiao Song Jia.
It is charming but not demonic.
Xiao Song Jiamei is particularly outstanding.
And when Geng Liangchen challenged martial arts in the teahouse, the cheongsam girl's thighs were so white that they glowed, which was equally eye-catching.
"My dear, is little Song Jia good-looking?"
On the way back, Liu Shishi suddenly asked without warning.
“Not bad.”
Zhou Yutang said frankly: "I think the girl in the cheongsam in the teahouse played by Song Tie is also very eye-catching."
Pfft!
Liu Shishi’s point of laughter has always been very low.
Especially when I hear this name, I think of the girl with a delicate, classical appearance and a slim figure, and I feel a contrasting and cute feeling:
"What did her parents think? A good girl, Such a name was given.”
"I entered the Beijing People's Art Theater after graduating from the Chinese Opera."
Zhou Yutang said lightly, Shi Shi blinked, a little surprised: "That's really amazing."
She has also acted before Those who work in drama know the value of human art.
Being able to enter the entertainment industry requires actors to have high professional abilities and artistic qualities.
“Otherwise I can audition and be chosen by the Noon Sunshine team?”
Zhou Yutang was talking and his hand fell on Sister Yi's leg.
What I was thinking about was the few sets of cheongsam at home that he also used.
