China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 512: The face is in the country, the admiration of the genius director

There are only so many top resources in the entertainment industry.

So everyone wants to go through the back door.

This new play by Lao Mouzi has said that it will use actors who are professional in dance.

Although Da Mimi is big enough and has a pair of beautiful legs, she is really not good at dancing. She just learned a Spanish dance during the college entrance examination.

It's really not appropriate.

Zhou Yutang recommended Deng Chao's "The Breakup Master" to her.

Deng Chao himself has a good relationship with Guangguang. Lao Wang made a special call two days ago to talk to Zhou Yutang about the book and finally decided to invest.

Deng Chao plays the male lead himself, and the female lead needs to be Xiaohua, so Da Mimi can take the role directly.

Many projects in the circle are like this.

We had just finished chatting with Damimi, and the long-legged little girl in the magic city started to moan again. If Zhou Yutang hadn't managed his time to the best, he would have been almost unable to cope with it.

Cai Yinong felt an inexplicable sense of joy.

Until Liu Shishi walked out of the special room for auditions in Jiangdong Building, walking lightly and with a gentle breeze on his face, talking to Lin Liang beside him.

Cai Yinong hurriedly replied, fearing that he would miss the opportunity.

"Thank you, Manager Lin."

By the time outsiders got the news, the results had already been achieved.

Lin Liang nodded and was quite polite: "If there is no problem, I will have someone take you around the company. The legal department is having a meeting and we will sign the contract later."

Lu Dandan, the daughter of the hero Lu Yanshi and the heroine Feng Wanyu, is good at dancing.

Cai Yinong and Tao Zi from Tang Dynasty looked eagerly at the audition room.

Thinking about the entertainment companies and senior agents in the circle, they are still thinking of ways...

"Excuse me, Manager Lin."

She talks on the phone with Zhou Yutang every day and knows a lot of things.

Gong Huang’s status is the ceiling for Chinese actresses, and Zhang Yimou is also famous for his ability to teach actresses.

Liu Shishi thanked you politely, and Lin Liang waved his hand: "Just call me Xiao Lin. I still remember when I auditioned for "Those Years", I thought you were very popular, Shi Shi."

"Manager Lin, it's absolutely no problem."

Hahaha, take it directly!

After Lin Liang left, Cai Yinong finally couldn't hold back, and his smile almost reached behind his ears.

They walked out talking and laughing. Cai Yinong and Tao Zi's buttocks seemed to have springs in them, and they bounced up instantly. They couldn't wait to ask:
"Shi Shi, how's it going?"

Cai Yinong took Liu Shishi's hand and asked with interest: "By the way, are you familiar with Lin Liang?"

"This role, Shi Shi, is simply tailor-made for you."

"It just so happens that Mr. Cai is here too."

Such resources.

If Zhou Yutang wasn't still in the grassland and the journey was too far, she would have even wanted to come over directly and pinch the Jiangdong Governor to death with her long legs.

After Tang Yan finished "Witness", she has been busy with business announcements and various fashion events.

But Zhou Yutang is different.

Tang Yan is acting like a spoiled child, and Zhou Yutang gave the same answer.

Liu Shishi can get this role this time, which is very good for her development.

"Anyway, just get the role."

Liu Shishi whispered in Cai Yinong's ear.

If you go by Cai Yinong's resources, you will definitely be out of reach.

Before Liu Shishi had time to answer, Lin Liang smiled and said, "Director Zhang nodded. The movie will start shooting in July at the latest. Is the schedule okay?"

"Sister K, it was Yu Tang who said hello to Director Zhang."

"I didn't seem to be doing very well at the time."

"Small things."

Lin Liang lowered his voice: "Shi Shi, this is what Mr. Zhou meant this time. He is very busy now. You also have a movie. The director selected Cao Baoping, but he is working on another project. Mr. Zhou will talk to Director Zhang first. Say hello."

"Mr. Cai, Shi Shi, let's do this first."

Cai Yinong's eyes were like flashlights lighting up.

"Actually, Mr. Zhou took a liking to you at first glance. There were originally auditions scheduled for the next two days, but he said there was no need to audition and he would talk directly to Mr. Cai."

Liu Shishi was a little surprised.

The feeling of holding my thigh is so good.

He was able to talk directly to Lao Mouzi. The movie had just been approved and he went straight through the back door.

"It's not too familiar. He has been following Yu Tang for a long time, and now he seems to be the manager of the casting department of Soochow Pictures."

"He's in trouble now."

Cai Yinong shook his head with regret and told Liu Shishi the secret.

Although Lin Liang is just a department manager, he is also a prominent figure in the entire film and television industry.

Not only the middle- and lower-level celebrities and artists fawn over him, but even the first- and second-tier stars in the circle try to flatter him.

As the veteran Jiangdong responsible for casting, sometimes his words can determine a lot of things.

The two of them didn't wait for a few minutes. Mao Xiaoyu came over, swinging her neat short hair. When she saw Liu Shishi, she quickened her pace and laughed:
"Shi Shi, Tao Zi, Mr. Cai is here too."

"Hey, Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

Liu Shishi also stood up instantly, with a smile of surprise on his quiet face.

In fact, she is a little bit shy and can't let go in front of people she doesn't know well.

But Mao Xiaoyu is different. She has been Zhou Yutang's assistant for several years and is Taozi's close friend.

"Come on, the legal affairs department is still in a meeting. I'll show you around first."

Taozi was very straightforward and took Liu Shishi and others to visit the Jiangdong Building.

"This is Vision Media. Your movie "Reply 1988" was in post-production here. "Witness" and "Beijing Meets Seattle" are also in post-production. The main special effects team is still working on the Boss movie. Special effects program.”

"That movie about Tangtang?"

"Yeah, the later stage is almost over."

"Time flies so fast, Xiaoyu, you have been promoted."

"No, he's just a deputy manager."

Liu Shishi held Mao Xiaoyu's arm, and the two behaved intimately.

When I met many Jiangdong Entertainment employees, they all greeted Mao Xiaoyu respectfully.

Some employees also took a peek at Liu Shishi, and some were shocked when they saw Liu Shishi in person offline.

I have seen many celebrities in Jiangdong Entertainment, but Liu Shishi's body and temperament, and no meal replacement in the circle, are unique.

I also met two little lion female fans who came up to ask for a photo, and Liu Shishi readily agreed.

This was not Liu Shishi's first visit to the Jiangdong Entertainment Company building. He had even been to Zhou Yutang's Mingjie, Xingchen, Yusheng and other companies.

But Jiangdong Entertainment was Zhou Yutang's main office. Walking in this building, she had a very subtle feeling in her heart, as if she had glimpsed the joy of Zhou Yutang's daily work.

After walking around, they arrived at Jiangdong's collection room. Looking at the trophies symbolizing honor displayed inside, Liu Shishi's eyes showed pride.

Although Zhou Yutang has not been in the industry for a long time, he is full of honors.

Those are the lands he won back.

Cai Yinong was very interested in the twelve red bronze statues: "Xiao Yu, these twelve animal heads are not real, are they?"

The bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace. Later, the British and French allied forces burned the Old Summer Palace, causing the bronze statues of the animal heads to be lost overseas.

Jackie Chan's "Twelve Zodiac Signs" tells the story of retrieving the lost copper heads of the twelve zodiac signs from the Old Summer Palace for the motherland.

Despite the strong suppression of "Now You See Me", it still grossed nearly 8 million at the box office.

The concept of the movie is very good and the quality is quite good.

"Of course not true."

Mao Xiaoyu explained with a smile: "It's a replica collection that Boss Yinghuang Yang asked someone to make, and Huo Wenxi sent someone to deliver it just a few days ago."

There are so many capable people and strangers in this world.

Boss Yang is a local leader in Xiangjiang and has extensive resources, so he asked experts to make four sets of simulated collections for commemorative collections.

The first set was given to the film’s producer, King Fang Huayi, the second set belonged to Jackie Chan, the third set was collected by Boss Yang for his own personal collection, and the remaining set was given to Zhou Yutang.

If it is genuine, it will definitely have to be handed over to the state, but this thing is so exquisitely made that it can almost look like a fake, and it is worth collecting.

Not being able to get into "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Boss Yang was deliberately trying to maintain the relationship between the two.

"Yu Tang's face is really great."

Cai Yinong secretly lamented that she had some connections with Hong Kong circles and Bay Province capital, and knew a lot about things in Hong Kong circles.

Not only in Hong Kong, but also in the domestic entertainment industry, who doesn’t give some face to Boss Yang of Yinghuang Group?

Probably only Zhou Yutang could make Boss Yang show his kindness like this.

"A well-known entertainment reporter broke the news that Liu Shishi secretly went to Beijing and appeared at Jiangdong Building to audition for director Zhang Yimou's new film!"

"The second female lead in the movie "Return", adapted from Yan Geling's novel "Lu Yan Shi", is suspected to have been confirmed!"

Those entertainment journalists who have been squatting in the grass under the Jiangdong Entertainment Building to feed mosquitoes all year round have gained something.

On the official website of Soochow Pictures, the official announcement soon updated the casting information for the second female lead in Guoshi's new film, and Liu Shishi's name appeared.

"It's really her!"

The actresses who were still eagerly waiting for the news now understand everything.

Logically speaking, in the past, Lao Mouzi's casting and recruitment efforts were always carried out with great fanfare. Hawthorn Tree and Thirteen Hairpins were national auditions, which caused a lot of heated discussions.

This time it was very low-key.

Except for Chen Daoming and Gong Li, the second female lead didn't bother much and just announced it directly.

Most actresses are only envious and jealous.

At this time, it still depends on who has the strongest relationship.

Liu Shishi has Zhou Yutang's support, so who has a stronger relationship than her?
The total box office of "Hunting" is fixed at 4.18 million, and it is already Zhang Yimou's best-known movie in recent years.

In the movie market in May, "Iron Man 3" had a great start, but failed to stabilize in the end. By the end of May, the box office stopped at just over 5 million.

On the other hand, "Partners" directed by Chen Kexing has suddenly emerged. The box office has exceeded 10 million in 3 days, and it has a good reputation.

This movie has also become Chen Kexin's highest-grossing film since entering the mainland, and he has become famous from this.

Among the great directors in Hong Kong, Xu Ke and Chen Kexin are the most capable.

There is also Wu Baige, who built the Titanic of the East in Zhoushan.

Han Sanping has been busy with "In the Name of the People" and returned to the capital to shoot. He handed over the crew to Kong Sheng and took the time to go to Zhoushan.

Han Sanping, who was deceived by Boss Jia's ppt and took part of the share, was too busy to touch the ground.

Zhou Yutang's role in the grassland was not many, and it was over in less than half a month, and he was transferred to the Huairou base.

On the last night of their stay in the grassland, a grassland barbecue dinner was arranged for the entire crew. Everyone drank some wine. In the evening, Dilraba was a little excited thinking about taking Zhou Yutang's private plane back to the capital the next day and couldn't sleep well.

After chatting with Guli Naza until after one o'clock, Reba was in a daze when she suddenly heard Naza gently calling her several times, but there was no response.

Then, there was a slight sound in the room.

Gulinazha quietly got out of bed and opened the door softly.

"It's so late, where is she going?"

Dilraba suppressed her curiosity, but heard a click, followed by the slight sound of the door closing in the room next to her.

On the grassland, accommodation conditions were limited. Zhou Yutang lived next door to their room, but the sound insulation didn't seem to be very good.

It didn't take long for Dilraba to hear a suppressed and pleasant murmur coming from the next room.

boom!
Dilraba uncontrollably thought of Zhou Yutang's figure in her mind. Her body felt inexplicably hot and she couldn't help but tighten her legs.
"Did you not sleep well last night?"

Returning to Beijing from Inner Mongolia, Ni Ni is wearing a pair of sunglasses and a professional skirt, looking like a proper ol beauty.

Seeing that Dilraba was wearing a pair of sunglasses to cover her dark circles, but there was still fatigue on her face that even makeup could not conceal, she showed some concern.

"Well, I was a little excited last night."

Dilraba's eyes were looking at Zhou Yutang, she was indescribably full of energy and radiant.

"You can have a good rest on the plane later."

Ni Ni glanced at her eyes and pushed up the sunglasses on her fair nose, feeling calm.

Dilraba looked at Gulinazha again, her delicate and beautiful face was glowing, her smile was like a flower, and she was so beautiful that it was shocking.

She secretly cursed in her heart: Even though she was shouting that she was going to die last night, it was already past four o'clock. Is that so interesting?

"interesting."

Zhou Yutang sank into the comfortable sofa chair and scrolled through the film and television information on the tablet. There have been a lot of interesting things in the entertainment industry recently.

I don’t really care about Gulinazha’s excited pouting and cute selfies, and even dragging Reba along with her.

It was the same for Ni Ni when she took a private plane for the first time. Later, the novelty wore off and she was no longer surprised.

The film market pattern in May has been determined, and several films scheduled for June have also begun to gain momentum.

The biggest one on the list is naturally the super-large production "Tianji·Fuchun Mountain Residence" jointly produced by Paige, Media Asia and Phoenix TV.

There are overwhelming publicity releases, the latest version of the trailer, Tong Dawei with white hair, ambiguously playing with sister Zhilin's beautiful legs, and even having an intimate scene with Zhang Jingchu
This guy is also a bit lucky.

But just by looking at the trailer, I have no idea what the director wants to express.

Sun Jianjun, however, was quite confident: "The "League of Thieves" directed by Zhou Yutang gave me a lot of inspiration, but "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is definitely a genre that no one has filmed in China.

This is not a simple Hollywood genre film, but a film with espionage, action, suspense, some thrillers, and alternative emotions."

In addition to Sun Yiqing, who has been sharpening his sword for eighteen years, and Zhou Yutang, who has firmly topped the box office of Chinese-language films, another fledgling director Guo Xiaosi even forced himself on him:
"Actually, Director Zhou Yutang and I both crossed over from writing novels to becoming directors. We have been fascinated by him for a long time. His "Those Years" and "Love Like a Bouquet" are also classics, as well as "Architecture" which was just released this year. "Introduction", but my "Little Times" is a different type of youth romance film."

"The power contained in this movie is like an explosion from the future era. It is a kind of ideological precipitation. Everyone is enjoying their golden time and enjoying unrestrained love in their youthful years."

Zhou Yutang thought about the gossip that Damimi said about the director having a close relationship with the actor on the set, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Fuji Detective" and "Slaying the Wolf 2" have also started promoting each other. Both movies are scheduled to be released in late June. There is nothing that can be done if they meet head-on.

"Boss, would you like to adjust the shooting time when the time comes? You have Magnolia's schedule next month."

"Magnolia, forget it."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and said, "We will arrange for Director Kong to come there when the time comes."

"Celebrating More Than Years" became a hit in the industry at the beginning of the year, winning four important Magnolia nominations for Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.

Kong Sheng's career has also started to take off this year. Not only "Celebrating the New Year" became a hit, but "Wenzhou Family" also received many nominations.

On the day he returned to the capital, Zhou Yutang gave the crew a day off.

He was tired from traveling and needed some repairs. He took a nap on the plane, but he didn't feel tired at all.

I went to the set of "In the Name of the People" and there were actors and actresses finishing filming there one after another.

This anti-corruption TV series started filming in February and is probably 80% complete so far.

"It will be completed in June."

Han Sanping smiled and asked about the filming progress of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and his daughter's performance.

Zhou Yutang went back to Jiangdong Entertainment for a meeting. Many documents had to be signed by him personally. Jiang Xuezhen also came to report on the work: "Mr. Zhou, "Jing Zhong Yue Fei" has four stars in Lu Province, Jincheng, Hui Province, and Zhejiang Province in July. Hookup, this is a publicity plan.”

"Well, it's up to you."

Zhou Yutang took a quick look at it and found that there was nothing wrong with it.

This "Loyalty to Yue Fei" is also the first time that Yue Fei has been filmed in the Mainland, telling the story of his tragic life from 19 to 39 years old.

With Zheng Xiaolong's skills and the group of elite soldiers and generals, it is definitely a costume drama above the standard.

In fact, there were some twists and turns in the drama. Some critics jumped out and accused the drama of hurting national sentiments.
Simply outrageous!

But with connections paving the way, things eventually calmed down.

Zhou Yutang guest-starred as Gao Chong in this drama, but the crew couldn't leave, and he would definitely not participate in the drama promotion work.

What can be done?

Huang Xiaoming can only suffer a little longer.

A few days ago, he happily sent a message saying that he could walk on the ground.
The crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" went a little big this time, with a total of 12 studios, each covering an area of ​​2000 square meters.

During this period, all other crews gave way!

The crew is all Zhou Yutang's old team, and they were still divided into two groups for filming.

Group A is composed of Zhou Yutang and Guo Fan, while Group B is composed of Wen Muye and Lu Yang.

With the help of these three powerful players, Zhou Yutang can reduce at least 30% of his workload.

The stand-ins for several leading actors are already in place. The stand-ins are not only responsible for dangerous actions, but also for some scenes that do not require the leading actors to show their faces.

When filming "Let the Bullets Fly", Uncle Ge had other schedules, and he used stunt doubles for several scenes in the movie.

Many people outside the industry don't know that even the Kung Fu Emperor Li Lienjie actually had several martial arts substitutes.

Usually, for the sake of movie quality, Kung Fu Emperor shoots it once, and then several stand-ins shoot it again. When editing, whoever's movements look best are used.

The makeup artist puts makeup on Guli Nazha.

At this time, she was wearing a bright red dress, a phoenix crown on her head, and various golden decorations. She looked extremely heavy, but full of texture.

Paired with bright makeup, it can create a visual impact at first glance.

The image of Gulinazha and Ding Sixian as an educated youth on the grassland is pure and simple, with a unique beauty of that era.

But now she put on this gorgeous dress, which highlighted her exquisite three-dimensional facial features, making her incredibly beautiful.

Even the makeup artist who was used to seeing beauties was amazed. All the members of the crew came over to see the beauties.

Zhou Yutang also secretly praised in his heart: The face is with the country, and this is God's reward.

"Brother, director, what do you think I should do next?"

"Just lie down, you are just a corpse now."

The next scene she filmed was the scene where she robs a tomb in Hu Bayi's dream.

Basically there are no lines, just be responsible for the beauty.

"no problem!"

Nazha was also very satisfied with her look. The photographer next to her took a picture, which can then be included in the promotional highlights of the stills.

However, she soon felt what pain was.

"Clear the place, be quiet!"

"Photography crew, prepare the camera!"

"The prop team checks the wires and props. Nazha is careful not to move."

Mr. Xu, who had just joined the team, was also the film's art director. After communicating with Zhou Yutang, he had almost strict and perverted requirements for her lying posture.

What you want is that moment of surprise.

As soon as Zhou Yutang returned to the hotel from the meeting with Xu Ke, Guo Fan and others, he received news from Miss Liu.

hello·jpg, a very cute emoticon.

After being cute, Liu Yifei posted a photo of herself in "Super Body".

Just wearing a simple white T-shirt can highlight the graceful curves of your figure.

His black hair was flowing, his eyes were slightly covered, and he was holding two guns.

The originally fairy-like face now revealed a murderous intent.

This is the part in the plot where she shows off her powers after developing her brain.

Liu Yifei is very serious about her work. After taking this role, she put in a lot of effort for the role.

Zhou Yutang could see the muscle curves on her arms. The movie was still being shot, so it must not be leaked. He saved the photo and replied immediately:
"The performance is good. According to this progress, it will be completed next month. I'm impressed."

"Xiao Zhou, how do you know?"

"I am your boss, Sister Zou will report on work every day!"

Zhou Yutang gave some funny replies.

At this time, Miss Liu looked quite silly.

When the Sunglasses King was filming "The Grandmaster", Song Hye Kyo had to wait on the set for three months without shooting a single scene. She could only play badminton every day.
Compared to the King of Sunglasses, Zhou Yutang is on the other extreme.

It was Xu Ke's first time working with him. After joining the team, he suddenly sighed: "Director Zhou's pace on set is so fast that most people can't adapt to it."

"Director Xu, you will get used to it if you work with Director Zhou a few times." Guo Fan said with a smile.

"Is this how you all came here?"

"This is how we all came about. Fifty shots a day is considered inefficient. We have to hold a meeting to review after finishing work in the evening."

"Sharp enough!"

Xu Ke's expression twitched slightly and he gave a thumbs up.

During the golden age of Hong Kong films, they were extremely involved and could even finish a movie in a week.

Xu Ke also came here this way, and it was precisely because of this that he admired Zhou Yutang in his heart.

A quick shooter who can also produce explosive products, this is so damn awesome!
Many directors don't know what specific effects they want when making a movie, they only focus on the artistic feeling.

How to achieve this feeling?

I honed the actors over and over again, saved the shots, and found the one with the best effect.

And Zhou Yutang seemed to have a clear picture in his mind before filming started, and knew the best way to express it.

After Xu Ke joined the team, he was also silently observing Zhou Yutang's way of doing things.

Although he doesn't like to curse, he is very meticulous and strict with many details.

Moreover, he holds a high position, has a strong aura, works vigorously and resolutely, and commands the entire crew like a master.

The team below is also in a tense and serious working state, and each one's hands and feet are more agile than the other.

In this way, the entire shooting progress will naturally be accelerated.

Xu Ke, who is called a genius director by the outside world, also secretly admires him:
"No wonder, the outside world says he is a super genius in the entertainment industry. His reputation is indeed well-deserved."
