Entertainment: I really want to make progress - #510 - Chapter 510: Helping sisters, a favor from a great director

“Brother, why did you leave Reba alone for so long?”

When Gulina Zha happily fell into Zhou Yutang’s arms, she looked happy and spoke sweetly.

Zhou Yutang has more than three cunning burrows in the capital. Only this lounge in the office is rarely visited by other women, and it gradually becomes a small world exclusively for Nazha.

The sofas, bed sheets, and even some accessories and dolls here were all purchased and decorated with Nazha’s 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.

Those long, white legs also wrapped around his waist.

“well!”

Zhou Yutang sighed lightly, held Nazha’s hips, and sat down on the sofa with her in his arms.

“Why did my brother sigh?”

Naza 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.”

“So this is ah.”

Gulinazha nodded with sudden realization, probably feeling 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.”

My dear sister, where do you get your confidence?

As far as your acting skills are concerned, they’re at least 50-50 equal to Reba’s.

But 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”, our schedules are 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 fly with you on your private plane?”

When Gulinazha acts coquettishly, she is like a soft cat.

“Not this time.”

Zhou Yutang said seriously: “You have to leave early 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.

Several producers used money to clear the way, and their logistics teams 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” were completed. He was about to come back to shoot the scenes in Beijing. He had to meet Han Sanping.

“Oh well.”

Naza had never been good at concealing her emotions, her delicate little face drooped, and even her little mouth pursed.

Although she was a little unhappy, she still leaned in Zhou Yutang’s arms obediently.

“Will have the opportunity next time.”

Zhou Yutang couldn’t help but stretched out his hand and gently slid it on the cheek that was as solid as snow. The extremely warm and soft touch made him chuckle:

“Your movie “A Little Smile Is Charming” has to be postponed temporarily. Chen Xiao has too many things to do now.”

After Zhang Ruojun left to run his own studio, no matter how close Zhou Yutang was to him, the company’s resources would 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 was almost scheduled for 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 drama “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” that I got from Yu Zheng, all of which have male protagonists.

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 around the hand.

His eyes were blurred, and his breathing was getting faster and faster. Where there should be curves, the arcs were not very majestic, but they kept 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 looked serious.

If there is nothing important, Zhou Ningfeng will basically not make phone calls during the day.

Enjoy when you should enjoy, and when you should do things.

Zhou Yutang will not let the small head control the big head.

Jinling TV.

meeting room.

Jiangsu Provincial 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 head 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.

His mind was spinning rapidly, after integrating the information, he tapped his fingers on the table: “Shi Xiaolong, a guest of the Tianchao Star jumping column on the Blue Channel, was accompanied by an 18-year-old assistant. He accidentally died in the diving hall of the General Administration of Sport of China at the training base. Drowning.”

“how so!?”

There was an uproar in the conference room, 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’s expression was serious: “We must put the safety and protection of guests on reality shows and variety shows first. Have you implemented it?”

“Director, you gave your instructions on the night when we entertained Director Zhou.”

The person in charge of the diving variety show wiped the sweat from his forehead and said cautiously: “In our case, everyone has a national team coach to guide them throughout the whole process, and there are lifeguards standing by to protect them from accidents.”

“As soon as 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 create this homemade variety show. If this incident happened on Jiangsu TV Station and was used to make a fuss by someone who was interested, it would definitely be a big blow to his reputation.

Listen to others and eat enough.

There is really nothing wrong with this sentence.

Zhou Yutang’s vision is indeed great.

Paper certainly 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, it will undoubtedly involve programs on Jiangsu Province Channel. 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 hold a meeting to 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.

“Dance My Life” is a planning project 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.

He became famous overnight and 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’ve learned this trick.”

Zhou Yutang joked: “You want to make progress too much.”

Wen Muye was also happy: “This flattery is very good.”

“I am telling 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 it was also praised highly by some people.

At first, he was a little arrogant, which is human nature, but then when he saw Zhou Yutang, he 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 improve the entire story.

Zhou Yutang sipped the tea: “How is the story of “Xiu Chun Dao 2″ going?”

“I have written a brand new third edition and need to revise it again.”

“Take your time and get a good reputation for this series.”

“Well, Director Zhou, when will you join the team?”

“Wait a few more days and let Guo Fan go there 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 want 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 can be regarded as 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 in his heart 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 outrageously 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” can undoubtedly be improved a lot.

After chatting with the three of them about the “Ghost Blowing Lamp” project for a while, when it came to matters in the film industry, Lu Yang shook his head and said, “Hua Yi has been unlucky recently.”

Wen Muye was a little gloating: “The movie “The Generals of the Yang Family” only sold 11 million on the first day. It was such a misfortune.”

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, it needs at least 500 million at the box office to make a profit, so it must have been a waste of money.

“I remember, Director Zhou seemed to have said that.”

Lu Yang also laughed and said: “Any historical film dominated by Xiangjiang people will never be spared.”

“Form is greater than content, that’s for sure.”

“Du Qifeng was not ideal this time either. He was suppressed and beaten by the national master.”

“Du Qifeng’s movies are pretty 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. I heard that the third part was already being prepared two years ago. 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, capital will put a question mark on you.

From now on, 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 really good.”

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.

The part about Bao E is also very good. It is probably based on Zhou Kehua. Where is there any trace of honesty and honesty?

Wang Baoji in the play is like a lawless gangster.

How many extras did it take to produce such a Bao?

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 Baoyu had been involved in a car accident while staying at Gao Yuanyuan’s house.

“Bao Yu, how’s it going?”

They were all close friends. Zhou Yutang called him, and Da Meiyuan lay beside him and listened.

“Fortunately, it’s nothing serious. Just when I finished work and walked out of the studio, I was 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.”

In Wang Bao’s voice, he expressed his gratitude: “Yu Tang, I’m sorry that I made you worry so late at night.”

“As long as everything is fine, I wish you a Cannes award.”

“Hehe, let me lend you some good words.”

Liu Yifei has already joined the cast of “Super Body”. After filming, she often chats with Zhou Yutang.

It’s just that there was a jet lag between the two sides, so filming was tiring, but she was also rather sleepy.

As we often chatted, we could hear no sound over there, and occasionally we could still hear two soft murmurs in sweet sleep.

While filming, Miss Liu still asked 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 gala with Damimi.

Zhou Yutang never lags behind others when it comes to things like this, and he never issues any press releases.

This time he contacted Brother Dong, and JD Logistics moved forward quickly, with truckloads of supplies rushing to help Sichuan.

“”Hunting” was released for two weeks, with a box office revenue of 285 million, and the box office dropped by 13 million in a single day.”

After Lao Mouzi led the team to run the road show, the box office inevitably fell. After all, it was limited by the subject matter of the movie. Even if the reputation exploded, the upper limit was there.

But the film and television companies in the industry 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 1, grossed 130 million in one-day box office, becoming the highest-grossing single-day box office movie in mainland history!”

The record was originally held by “Now You See Me”.

Within 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.

“”Ghost Blowing the Lantern” is about to start filming, and the crew’s logistics team has already set off and arrived in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.”

The crew of “Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern”, which totaled several hundred people, set off from the capital in a mighty manner, and there were many reports on the websites of various entertainment portals.

There are also many people in the circle who pay attention to the fact that the two low-budget movies are just appetizers, and 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 cattle and sheep.”

From the steel city to this lush and magnificent Hulunbuir grassland, I felt particularly comfortable.

Hailed by the famous writer Lao She as “the best meandering river in the world”, the Mozhgrad River was where several scenes of Hu Bayi and Xiao Ding in “Ghost Blowing the Lamp” were filmed.

In fact, most of the important scenes of this movie were shot in a studio.

The location was not very 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 to invite you.”

Gulinazha’s heart tightened.

She also wanted to help her sisters, but she didn’t expect that she had a problem.

There are so many people who 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?”

“I joined Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang on the grassland to jump in line. They are the first love they share. They are good at singing and dancing.”

Nazha really put in the effort: “Also, she is 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 movie “Ghost Blowing the Lamp” started?”

“The scenery here in Inner Mongolia is very nice. Director Li can come and take a look when he has time.”

“There is a 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 over there?”

“I?”

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 the Golden Horse Awards where Li An will be the winner this year. Although the awards 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.

“That’s right.”

Li An on the other end of the phone sounded serious: “Your influence in Asia is unparalleled. I think it is most appropriate for you and Zhang Manyu to be the Golden Horse Ambassadors together.”

“Director Li, I may not have a schedule then.”

“I’ve thought about this.”

Li An continued: “As the Golden Horse Ambassador, I have a film festival image advertisement that needs to be shot. I don’t have to take on other publicity work. It will be arranged by the executive committee.”

After listening to Lao Li’s explanation, Zhou Yutang understood.

This is because he is one of the top stars in Asia and wants to win the Golden Horse Awards.

Zhou Yutang said solemnly: “Director Li has spoken personally, and 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.”

With 4 Golden Horse Best Actress Awards, 1 Best Supporting Actress Award, and double Best Actress Award in Berlin and Cannes, Zhang Manyu is undoubtedly a legend in the entire Chinese film industry.

Wouldn’t it be great to dance with the legendary goddess?

certainly.

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.
