China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 568: Sisters face off, never give in

Teacher Fan came really prepared this time, even bringing Mei Niang's shirt.

It doesn't matter whether she wins the Academy Award or not.

Zhou Yutang must be captured.

After several games, Teacher Fan finally couldn't bear the whipping and was defeated.

After the Hong Kong Film Awards, various media outlets must have special reports.

The interview in which Zhou Yutang talked freely about the development of Hong Kong films was highly discussed.

Sometimes, the truth is the sharpest knife.

The real situation in Hong Kong can be seen by anyone who is not blind.

Zhou Yutang accidentally hurt the poor self-esteem of some local people in Xiangjiang.

Later, Chen Jiashang corrected his position. He went to Vision Media for post-production work on the next two films of "Four Famous Catchers" and called himself "Boss Zhou" when they met.

"What? He wants to do a new Academy Award?"

Chen Jiashang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "According to his wishes, the rules of the game for the Academy Awards must be changed."

As soon as Zhou Yutang's plane landed, he received a call from Academy Award nominee Chen Jiashang: "Director Zhou, you also know that the situation here is difficult to describe."

Zhou Yutang has set new box office records for Chinese movies one after another, and has been promoted to a super first-line commercial film director in the industry.

With Zhou Yutang's current energy, it may not be impossible to win a new Academy Award.

"Director Chen, it's already 2014. Everything must move forward. Xiangjiang Film must make progress, and the rules must adapt to the new era."

Feeling that Zhou Yutang was not that angry, Chen Jiashang breathed a sigh of relief and frowned after hanging up the phone.

Then, many old guys jumped out again and suggested that the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee consider revising the rules of the Hong Kong Film Awards again.

Zhang Zhaogong Du was eliminated, and Lao Chen hugged Wang Changtian's thigh.

Think carefully.

"Whether Hong Kong movies are in decline, let the market give the answer."

"He probably won't take this little thing to heart."

After knowing each other for many years, he knew that Chen Jiashang was not joking.

What bullshit is protecting the glory of Hong Kong movies?

Zhou Yutang didn't even bother to talk nonsense to those guys who were half buried in the soil. Some of them had crooked butts.

The two presidents sat at the table and talked all night until dawn. Finally, they looked at each other and sighed: "Old Chen, maybe you really want to change."

"Painted Skin" brought him fame and fortune.

"Don't worry, based on what I know about him, he probably won't do it."

Zhou Yutang attended the launch press conference of "Qing Yu Nian 2" when he came back, and was inevitably asked about this by the media.

As long as you have the ability, you can even change the rules of the Hollywood Oscars, so what does the Academy Award mean?

“There’s still a long way to go.”

In the era of capital, having money means being exposed, and having money means being able to do whatever you want.

Compared with those conservative die-hards, although he can't keep up with the market, he still has a good vision.

Wen Juan was startled and stood up from his seat.

Back then, Zou Wenhuai used his connections to pave the way for him. Now Yinghuang's bosses Yang and Anlejiang have close ties with him.

At this time, Zhou Yutang had risen through the ranks at a speed he had never imagined, becoming a being that he could only look up to.

Chen Jiashang rubbed his forehead and added: "It won't be of much benefit to him to make a mess like the Academy Awards."

Then there is no more
Lao Chen was taught by reality how to behave.

The two old men couldn't sleep because of Zhou Yutang's words.

Yindu Agency, the largest producer of "The Grandmaster", is headquartered in Hong Kong. However, Yindu and its predecessors Great Wall, Phoenix, Xinlian and Zhongyuan Production Company have special status and have been connecting the mainland and Hong Kong for more than 60 years.

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "What I said is based on reality. Last year, Hong Kong produced only 42 Hong Kong films. The total box office was not even as big as the Jiangdong family."

Former Academy Award board member Xi Wenjuan said, "Old Chen, what do you say?"

Du Wenze didn't know what was wrong in his mind, and he was the first to jump out: "The Hunting won the best picture, which does not meet the three requirements of the Academy Awards. Nowadays, it is difficult for local films to survive in Hong Kong, and more attention should be paid to protecting local films. rights.”

Chen Jiashang, who followed Zhang Zhao, was another force in the light. He even had the idea of ​​​​teaching Zhou Yutang, a younger generation, how to behave.

Are today's Hong Kong movies still pure Hong Kong movies?

Some people have no brains, but Lao Chen knows it clearly and called me specifically to explain it clearly.

He is also deeply bound to the light and has become a shareholder.

At that time, the mainland film industry was still dominated by three major directors. Zhou Yutang could only be regarded as a rising star, and was supported by Li Xiaoping's favor and investment.

The entry threshold for other films must be raised - among the 15 awards established by the Academy Awards, the number of jobs held by Hong Kong people will be increased from the current 6 to 10, in order to better protect the local film industry .

Otherwise, they would not have been the first to flock to the mainland film industry to try out the new technology.

Xu Laoguai's Di Renjie and Zhou Xingxing's Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons all came from the mainland.

As for the winners, many of them are from the mainland. They have to choose among the dwarfs of Hong Kong films. Even Wong Lao Gou's "Ip Man: The Last Stand" was nominated for the Best Actor.

How can such a trend be reversed?
This has something to do with the social environment. Before the mainland developed, Xiangjiang did mean advancement and foreign style.

Many people in Xiangjiang have a mysterious sense of superiority in their hearts.

However, with the increasing national power and the rapid development of the mainland, the gap between the two has gradually narrowed.

Some people in Xiangjiang are unwilling to accept the reality, so they have a sense of resentment.

Recently, some media reported that the service industry in Xiangjiang has a bad attitude and puts on a bad face to show off to mainland tourists. In fact, they also have bad attitudes towards locals in Xiangjiang.
News reports about the Academy Awards are still posted on various entertainment portals, and Zhou Yutang's parachute appearance at the launch conference of "Qing Yu Nian 2" has attracted widespread attention.

There is no other master of time management in the entertainment industry than this.

Ni Ni admires her boss a little.

It took a lot of effort to subdue Wen Yongshan the day before yesterday, and last night he had another fight with the beautiful teacher Fan.

Before the crew of "Celebrating New Years 2" officially started filming, they accompanied Zeng Li, who had just returned from an overseas trip, to watch "Fireworks in the Day".

He immediately joined the crew for filming, and it seemed that his good sister Reba and teacher Yu Feihong were also having an affair with him.
Ni Ni's scalp went numb just thinking about it.

My boss's body is really abnormal. Maybe Gao Yuanyuan's nourishing medicine that is said to have been passed down from the palace has miraculous effects.

In short, complaints are complaints, and Ni Ni still completed her duties very carefully.

The launch conference has built up enough momentum, and the first thing to shoot for "Celebrating More Than Years 2" was a set of launch specials.

There are scandals about Wang Yiran having sex with her best friend in the group and Zhou Yutang.

The recent appearance of the immortal CP at Jackie Chan's birthday dinner is a trend.

The paparazzi photographed Wen Yongshan visiting the class in Hong Kong. It is said that the Hong Kong girl also won the favor of the governor.

But in Wang Yiran's opinion, they are not as good as Li Yao. These two people are truly a good match.

Wang Yiran, who criticized several trolls from Zhou Yutang online and had a passionate confrontation, turned into the office OL sweet girl in reality.

Time passed quickly, and after Wang Yiran graduated from college, she was like many of her peers.

Enter society and start working.

Before going to work every day, it is essential to make a cup of coffee and then fish with peace of mind.

Browsing the news on the Internet, as a fan of Jiangdong drama, Wang Yiran paid special attention to Jiangdong official media, except Zhou Yutang's personal social media.

The early bird catches the worm.

She really caught the latest official material released by Jiangdong, which is also the special launch episode of "Qing Yu Nian 2" that she is most concerned about.

"Zhou Yutang seems to be playing something very new."

Wang Yiran took a sip of her coffee, put on her headphones, and clicked play.

The camera swept across the Jiangdong Entertainment Creation Center.

The first thing that comes into view is the back of a somewhat bald middle-aged man, his fingers dexterously tapping the keyboard, typing like flying.

"Is this the screenwriter Wang Yun?"

As a long-time fan of Jiangdong, Wang Yiran naturally knew about the existence of Jiangdong Entertainment Creation Center.

Countless hit movies and TV series were born here.

After "Celebrating More Than Years" became a hit, Wang Yun became famous and promoted to the top screenwriter in the industry.

Before he could express his gratitude for Wang Yun's strong hairstyle, Wang Yiran's eyes were attracted by the three characters "Celebrating More Than Years 2" written in the word text on his computer.

"So this is how screenwriters work. It seems to be no different from me."

Wang Yiran continued reading while drinking coffee. The time on the screen started from the year before last and flowed rapidly.

Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and it suddenly freezes in 2014.

This means that the second season has officially started.

"Master Xiao Fan, wake up."

Wang Qinian's cry came from far and near, seeming to wake up Fan Xian from his deep sleep.

The camera followed Fan Xian's perspective to the crew.

Wang Yiran was very interested.

Mainly as an outsider, she was curious about how the crew worked.

"Okay, let's start the fan."

The camera position was ready, and the crew started taking makeup photos.

It's still Zhou Yutang, and it's still the handsome Fan Xian.

The collar and sleeves of a purple robe are inlaid with meticulous brocade and gold trim. Simple and elegant in big places, noble in small parts.

Zhou Yutang poses in various poses in front of the camera, acting casually and casually, but also indescribably elegant and elegant.

"Hold the grass, Boss Zhou is super handsome."

Wang Yiran even forgot to drink coffee, and heart-shaped stars appeared in her eyes.

Then the scene changed to an overhead shot, arriving at an antique shooting location.

There was a red carpet on the ground, incense burners on the tables, and various machines and equipment. Wang Yiran saw that everyone in the crew had red envelopes in their hands.
"Wish you good luck."

"Two thanks for a good start."

"Three thanks and it became a hit in the ratings."

"Four obeisances unite us as one."

The attendant shouted with a loudspeaker, and Zhou Yutang took the lead in offering incense.

The director team led the creative team, photography team, lighting team, costume team, makeup team, props team, etc. to worship and offer incense one by one.

Uncover the red cloth and start the machine. The whole process is full of ritual.

"I'm lucky enough to meet you again in the next few years."

"It will be launched at an auspicious time, so stay tuned."

The video ends here, and the crew will definitely start filming next.

But Wang Yiran felt that it was still unfinished and read it several times.

This kind of opening special is very interesting, allowing the audience to understand the filming process of the entire drama more intuitively, and there are also many interesting crew tidbits.

The link to the video was forwarded in a small group of girlfriends: "Sisters, have you watched the special episode to celebrate the new year?"

"Before you posted it, I had already brushed it while squatting in the toilet."

"Damn, I'm still eating breakfast, you're so disgusting."

"Master Xiao Fan is so handsome. Will the second season of "Celebrating More Than Years" be a big hit?"

While chatting enthusiastically in the group, Wang Yiran suddenly received a call from her mother at home, telling her about her cousin from her aunt's family.

My aunt's cousin has been a beauty since she was a child. She is quite handsome and has even appeared on a TV show.

Later, she focused on pursuing her dreams in the entertainment industry. This year she will attend the Opera School affiliated with the Shanghai Academy of Drama.

Now Wang Yiran works in Shanghai, and her mother is calling to ask for help.

My aunt divorced early, and my cousin lived with her mother, which was pitiful. When her elder sister went out into society, she would naturally have to take care of her.

She also fell in love with her cousin in a family that loved each other, and Wang Yiran wholeheartedly agreed.

The two sisters often played together when they were young. As they grew up, they became a little stranger, but in the final analysis, they were also blood-related cousins.

Wang Yiran said hello to her cousin on WeChat: "Modu Opera School is pretty good. It seems to be Li Yao's alma mater. Maybe you will also be favored by Zhou Yutang, and you will debut as little Li Yao."

"Sister, you are wrong."

My cousin sent a specially made emoticon of Zhou Yutang: "I will be a new generation of fish girl, even more popular than Li Yao."

The little girl is quite high-spirited in the film. She has never been beaten by society, so she doesn’t know how high the sky is.

Wang Yiran couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The cousin immediately responded with a double glare.

The sisters' meme war ended with her having a morning meeting.

Wang Yiran felt a little emotional.

She is indeed Ben San's old aunt.

Or.

The little girl today is a little wild-minded.

After "Qing Yu Nian 2" started filming, there were problems with the filming.

In the finale of last season, Fan Xian went on a mission to Northern Qi, and on the way back with the mission, Yan Bingyun stabbed Fan Xian in the back, leaving a button.

Because Yan Bingyun is played by Zhu Yilong, who is known to be Zhou Yutang's good brother, and netizens joked that he fell in love with each other and killed each other.

Of course, Fan Xian could not die. Yan Bingyun's sword thrust was also planned.

But the problem is, we have to fake death to make it real, but we can’t fake it and make it really dead.

The second season started with a lot of Wang Yun's original content. The news of Fan Xian's death came back to Kyoto and everyone reacted.

From the perspective of the audience, after watching the previous shots, I had a rough idea of ​​the overall shooting effect. Zhou Yutang was not satisfied and immediately put forward his opinion:

"It definitely won't work this way. It needs to be changed."

Zhou Yutang did not hesitate and made an immediate decision: "Stop filming and ask Wang Yun, Mao Pang and the screenwriter team to come over for a meeting."

He co-wrote parts of the first season.

But time management was not enough. The chief scriptwriter for the second season was Wang Yun. Maopang was the script consultant and co-writer, and he led a whole team of writers to serve them.

The purpose of this meeting is simple.

At present, the results of the script shooting cannot satisfy the big boss, so these people will start working in the hotel.

It is actually normal to modify the script during filming and put it in the film and television industry.

Jiang Wen often does this, and the Sunglasses King has more ideas.

Zhou Yutang always puts the audience first and convened the director team such as Kong Sheng and Li Muge, as well as the screenwriters for a meeting to discuss.

"Mr. Zhou, Director Kong, I have an immature idea."

Li Muge suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of everyone in the crew, including Zhou Yutang.

"How to say?"

Zhou Yutang drank some water and motioned for him to continue.

Li Muge is a top student at Yenching University and has a lot of money.

When he first entered the circle, he was Gao Xixi's pony boy, and Gao Xixi was Big Dog's best friend. He didn't have much chance in Pony, so he kept playing tricks on Lao Gao.

During "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", he was attracted by Zhou Yutang and drew a bunch of cakes. Li Muge was very moved. When he went back, he revealed his intention to pass Jiangdong. Big Dog nodded happily.

Now Li Muge is also a reserve talent for future directors of Jiangdong Entertainment. He has joined the team of "Qing Yu Nian 2" as an assistant director. He has great experience in shooting scenes and beautiful women.

"I personally think that a short paragraph of Lin Waner's reaction to hearing the news of Fan Xian's death should be added here."

"Wan'er's reaction?"

"Yes, there are no scenes with Lin Wan'er in the first few episodes. If I were an audience, I would definitely be disappointed."

"What do you want to do according to your ideas?"

Zhou Yutang asked with interest.

"I can't say anything else."

Li Muge became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke: "But from the perspective of the audience, they know that Fan Xian is not dead, and they definitely want to see Lin Wan'er's reaction."

"This is a good opportunity to strengthen the character of Chicken Leg Girl."

"Director Kong, what do you think?"

"What Xiao Li said is very good. No wonder I always feel that the taste is wrong, as if something is missing." Kong Sheng nodded.

"Thank you, Director Kong."

Li Muge grinned at being recognized by a great director of the older generation like Kong Sheng.

"Then write down this section first."

Zhou Yutang wanted to add a scene to Li Yao, not entirely because the Queen Mother Qian warned him to take good care of Li Yao, but simply because of the perception of the whole drama.

Compared to those exaggerated forced comedies, the audience would definitely prefer to see the chicken-legged girl worrying about you.

"I'll just say a few words."

After a brief exchange, Zhou Yutang stood up and said: "Judging from the current shooting results, forcibly adding popular Internet memes and deliberately making them funny will most likely affect the audience's experience of watching the drama, and will make people feel that it is funny for the sake of being funny."

"Get rid of the exaggerated content that is deliberately funny, continue the starring character of the first season, and quickly get to the main plot."

Zhou Yutang wants to make Legend Theater a classic. Not only has he assembled the top luxury cast lineup in the industry, but his behind-the-scenes team is also top-notch in the industry.

Including the entire scene, costumes, makeup, props, etc., the requirements are extremely high.

"President Zhou, if you need to change the script temporarily, the entire filming schedule will have to be adjusted."

It was also the first time for Chief Producer Jiang Xuezhen to encounter such a thing.

When the project just started, the boss was dissatisfied with the specific shooting results and stopped the project directly. As the chief producer, she was a little overconfident.

"Then adjust it first before shooting."

Zhou Yutang glanced at it lightly: "Manager Jiang, I want to make "Celebrating More Than Years" a classic hit at Legend Theater. If it is at this level, it will undoubtedly disappoint the audience."

"Mr. Zhou, I understand."

Jiang Xuezhen's face gradually became serious.

Perhaps it was the popularity of "Celebrating More Than Years" that made the entire film and television industry focus on the sequel of this drama.

Kodong's TV drama department also had a bit of a arrogant attitude and sent out a lot of marketing press releases when the second part was launched.

As a result, the popularity is definitely there. With the first season as the foundation, many viewers are looking forward to it. The nearly 10 million online reservation viewers are the best proof.

The problem is that the audience's expectations for this show are very high.

They hope to see a high-quality drama with a score of 90 points, which can be filmed according to the current script, with a score of less than 70 points at most.

That is undoubtedly a failure.

ps: Brothers, can you see the previous chapter? It seemed like he was being tried.
