China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 641: Arrange Sister 1 Clearly, Emperor and Tyrant

Chapter 641: Arrange the First Sister Clearly, the Emperor and the Tyrant

Although some thoughts in my heart are like weeds in the wilderness.

But Liu Shishi would not reveal it to his face.

Women are so contradictory sometimes.

She clearly longs for a man's care, but she won't say it out loud.

Besides, Liu Shishi knew that Zhou Yutang was really busy.

I just came back from abroad and immediately participated in a movie roadshow and had various meetings to attend.

Pretending not to hear the depressed mood in Sister Yi's tone, which even she herself might not be aware of, after hanging up the phone, Zhou Yutang turned around and dialed Ni Ni's number:
"Is everything arranged over there?"

"Boss, it's arranged."

Ni Ni, who was in Hengdian, said weakly.

Whenever the boss opens his mouth, she, as a secretary, runs around.

This is not the first or second time. Last time we chartered a plane to pick up a fairy, and this time Liu Shishi cannot be left behind.

Liu Shishi’s birthday is March 3th.

Zhou Yutang deliberately postponed all meetings and other schedules for that day.

Just for the purpose of flying into Hengdian on her birthday, she made all the arrangements for Yijie.

……

"Wow! Shishi is so white that she glows."

"Liu Shishi is so beautiful!"

"Sister is so amazing, so beautiful."

"Shishi, I love you."

"I love you all too."

After finishing a busy day of filming, the team arranged a fan meeting tonight.

Facing the cute little lions, Liu Shishi always has a smile on her face.

Today, I went to the restaurant with my own money.

All arrangements were made for the little lions who came to celebrate her birthday.

It’s just that there were a lot of photos taken today, so we arrived at the scene a little later than the agreed time, but the little lions were still as enthusiastic.

"It's getting late. Be obedient and go back to rest."

The event lasted only half an hour. After saying hello to the fans, Liu Shishi got into the business car and rolled down the window. She did not forget to give instructions to the little lions at the scene.

The Weibo topic #刘施施快乐生日＃ has already made it to the hot search list.

Not only did the little lions spontaneously organize offline support activities, but in order to celebrate Liu Shishi's birthday, the official Weibo accounts of brands such as Qeelin, which she endorses, also sent out blessings.
“Happy birthday to Qeelin’s global brand ambassador Liu Shishi! May you be blessed with a new year filled with gentleness and encounter good luck.”

Below are the promotional photos taken in advance.

Liu Shishi, wearing the special high-end jewelry of Qilin cooperation, is radiant.

On the way home, Liu Shishi reposted the Weibo posts one by one.

In the group of best friends of Chinese Paladin III, Tang Yan and Yang Mi are also very active.
"Boss Zhou seems to be quite busy. I saw him holding a meeting a few days ago."

"I went to see the finished film of 'The Pancake Man' last time. Recently, he seems to be working on the special effects of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' with Guo Fan."

“@ShiShi, happy birthday!”

"It's a pity that I have a schedule, otherwise I would go to Hengdian to accompany you."

First she celebrated her birthday on Weibo, and then sent out red envelopes in the small group. The Legend of Sword and Fairy sisters will never separate.

Liu Shishi sent a few emoticons, logged into her mobile game account, and absentmindedly went through her daily routine.

I heard that Xingchen Games will launch a new mobile game in the first half of the year, but I don’t know whether it will be fun or not.

While I was thinking about all sorts of things in my mind, the driver stopped the car and Taozi in the front seat reminded me that we had arrived at her home in Hengdian.

Considering that he had to film frequently in Hengdian and it was inconvenient to stay in a hotel permanently, Zhou Yutang purchased properties in several high-end communities around the film and television base in advance.

The apartment that Shishi lives in now is not very big, only a 177-square-meter flat.

beep!

Fingerprint password unlock.

Liu Shishi vaguely felt that something was wrong.

When I came out in the morning, I made sure to turn off the lights.

But now there was light in the room.

Zhou Yutang also put a lot of thought into the decoration of this house. He specially asked the design team to connect the kitchen, balcony, dining room and living room according to Liu Shishi's ideas.

Folding doors are installed at the joints, making the space spacious and warm.

Snapped!
After turning on the lights.

Her mind raced and her heart skipped a beat.

There are many news reports about fanatical fans sneaking into celebrities' homes to make soup and rummage through the trash.

Liu Shishi's heart was in her throat.

But when she looked around, the panic was replaced by full of surprise.

Everywhere you look.

At this moment, the room has become a sea of flowers.

There are bright red roses, snow-white lilies, and pink tulips.
There are many flowers that she can't even name.

The colors are different, but when matched together, they do not appear random or messy. Instead, there is an indescribable sense of harmony and beauty.

At this moment, the entire cozy little nest has become the most romantic and beautiful place in the world.

After being stunned for a moment, Liu Shishi covered her mouth and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief. An incomparably brilliant light bloomed in her plain eyes.

At this moment, the only thing on her mind was that man.

People are looking for two things throughout their lives: a sense of value and a sense of belonging.

A sense of value comes from being affirmed, and a sense of belonging comes from being loved.

Shi Shi was already a little moved by the enthusiasm of the little lions in the evening. Now, when she saw this sea of flowers, it was as if clusters of fireworks were rushing into the sky in time with her heartbeat.

Liu Shishi took off her flat shoes first.

Then the handbag was thrown aside casually.

He didn't even bother to wear slippers.

"Yu Tang."

I trotted into the room and looked around, but saw no one in the living room.

I turned and entered the kitchen, only then did I see the tall figure that I had been dreaming about.

The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up to his arms. Under the dim light from the kitchen ceiling, Zhou Yutang's movements were not elegant at all.

Even a little embarrassed.

A head of broccoli fell out when I was lifting the pot.

——This is what it feels like after not cooking for a long time.

Zhou Yutang acted as if nothing had happened, picked it up with chopsticks and threw it back into the pot.

"How did you come."

Liu Shishi hugged Zhou Yutang's waist from behind and pressed her cheek against his broad back.

It was very warm and made her feel very safe.

"I just happened to be passing by."

"Did you prepare those flowers?"

"Ni Ni asked the flower arrangement company to arrange it."

Don’t doubt the professionalism of the floral company. As long as the customer is willing to spend money, they will definitely give a satisfactory answer.

"Don't waste money anymore."

It sounded like she was talking in a coquettish voice, but Liu Shishi's voice was sweet and soft. Not only was it not intimidating at all, but it also revealed a sense of coquettishness and innocence.

"My pleasure."

Zhou Yutang didn't even need to look back, he knew Liu Shishi was feeling extremely sweet just by hearing her voice.

For women, romance is the deadliest poison.

Holding Zhou Yutang's waist tightly, Liu Shishi didn't want to separate from him at all.

Watching him frying steak, there was a vegetable salad next to it, and it turned out that even the ingredients were prepared in advance.

Australian Wagyu pure snow sirloin steak M9 grade, served with green broccoli.

On the side plate were twelve full Ginado oysters, grilled sturgeon, and leeks.
“What the hell are leeks?”

"It was also prepared by Ni Ni."

“So there’s a steamer in the kitchen?”

"do not you know?"

"I don't know. I've only cooked instant noodles."

"."

Liu Shishi felt a little magical.

She lived here when she was filming in Hengdian, but when she came back from the crew, she was already tired and hungry. The most she could do was cook some noodles, and she had never really cooked a meal.

Usually I just order some takeout, but I only try a little bit and let Taozi take care of most of the food.

After a warm and sweet period of busy work, the candlelight dinner was completed.

In fact, only the steak was cooked by Zhou Yutang himself. Most of the other dishes were cooked by foreign chefs who were hired at the right time.
But it doesn’t matter who did it. What matters is that Liu Shishi is happy.

Her eyes were glued to Zhou Yutang. If she wasn't afraid that the food would get cold, she would have been clinging to him desperately after meeting him again after a short separation.

Zhou Yutang turned off the light.

The candlelight on the dining table illuminated the dinner and made the beauty in front of him even more charming.

Liu Shishi took out her cell phone and took a picture, but found that the effect was not ideal, so she turned on the light again.

"what?"

"Take pictures."

“Don’t take photos in this atmosphere.”

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly.

"It's different today, dear, help me."

Liu Shishi took Zhou Yutang's arm and said coquettishly, "Hurry up, the food will get cold soon."

Such a romantic and beautiful scene is certainly worth recording.

Now that there is a big director ready, there is no need for her to do it herself.

"alright."

Zhou Yutang agreed reluctantly.

He did not appear in the photo, but turned on the light and took a few random photos from different angles.

In fact, Liu Shishi doesn’t usually take selfies, but she often posts magical Weibo posts like “Potatoes are delicious” and “Corn is delicious”, so the little lions call her Liu Chichi.

The atmosphere is already excellent, and with Liu Shishi's outstanding temperament, the photos turned out very beautifully.

The candlelight dinner was very romantic, making the two of them feel happier.

Liu Shishi is actually a very simple girl.

She is gentle and polite in front of outsiders, but in front of Zhou Yutang she shows an unusual liveliness and brightness.

Sometimes she is not carefree, but she also has some little fun. She chatters with Zhou Yutang about which photo is the best, and then shares it with her bestie while enjoying delicious food.

"Wow! This is so romantic."

Jin Daxi, Shi Shi's best friend and chief Fengchu military strategist, was stunned and expressed her envy: "The whole room is filled with flowers. How much did these flowers cost? At least hundreds of thousands, right?"

"The photos are so beautiful, you are indeed a great director."

“I think there’s another photo with a good angle.”

"."

While chatting with Sister Yi, Jin Daxi felt deeply moved that the life of rich people was so simple and unpretentious.

But if you think about it, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Zhou Yutang.

The most important thing is that a man like Zhou Yutang is willing to spend time and effort on Liu Shishi.

what!
Why is there no movement in the Legend of Sword and Fairy III beauty group?

Neither Yang Mi nor Tang Yan replied to the message.

Are they all asleep?
Liu Shishi didn't care either.

After sharing her joy with her best friend, her eyes remained on the man in front of her.

The atmosphere was like this, and half a bottle of Lafite 96 was finished without me noticing.

Under the flickering candlelight, Zhou Yutang personally put on a seven-figure custom-made high-end jewelry for Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi's body began to get hot gradually. She put her hands on Zhou Yutang's neck and whispered passionately:
"Hubby, carry me to the bedroom~~~"

Yesterday's moonlight has turned into today's rising sun.

Sprinkle warm sunlight on the world.

Zhou Yutang stood up and leaned against the back of the bed, looking at Liu Shishi who was sleeping next to him.

The silk quilt was kicked to the soles of her feet and she slept soundly on her side.

The bright sunlight playfully shone through the gap in the curtains, sprinkling all over her snow-white body.

Last night was a bit intense, and after the passion was released, Zhou Yutang is now in a sage state.

Liu Shishi woke up, curled up in Zhou Yutang's chest, and asked in a daze:
"Honey, what time is it?"

"Eight forty-seven."

"Oh, I have a photo shoot in the morning. Where's my alarm?"

Liu Shishi had the professional ethics of an actor. She instantly lost all sleepiness and sat up, supporting herself on Zhou Yutang's chest.

"I pressed it for you."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "Producer Liu, how about letting the crew take a break for half a day and then go over in the afternoon?"

"this is not good."

Liu Shishi had regained consciousness: "My scene is scheduled for today's production schedule, get up and wash up."

If the crew delays shooting for half a day, it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, so as a producer, you have to pay for the crew's management.

"Okay, let's listen to Producer Liu."

Zhou Yutang carried Liu Shishi into the bathroom.

In fact, he could ask Lu Yang to temporarily adjust the crew's shooting plan.

But it is not necessary.

The Grand Commander is not one to let the small heads control the big heads.

He doesn't have to prepare breakfast.

There are ready-made sandwiches among the ingredients that Ni Ni bought yesterday. Just put them in the microwave for a while.

After a warm and simple breakfast with some milk, Zhou Yutang took Liu Shishi to the crew of "The Blade of the Assassin 2".

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Boss, you came so early?"

The Grand Commander arrived at the crew, and everyone from the director to the production manager, as well as the director of photography and even the production staff, all flocked to him.

As for why he came with Liu Shishi, and what was going on with the radiant look on Sister Yi's face, they all knew what was going on.

"Yu Tang, congratulations on your box office success."

Huang Xiaoming, wearing a theatrical costume and with his signature smile on his face, stood up to greet them and gave Zhou Yutang a hug.

"Boss Zhou, I wish Director Zhou to break 20 billion."

Lei Datou, Zhang Yi, Xin Zhilei and others also greeted him.

This is not flattery, but necessary courtesy and respect for the big boss.

The actors on the scene are basically all familiar faces.

There is also Mr. Jin Shijie who joined the crew just after finishing the roadshow of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

Zhou Yutang kept nodding and smiling, greeting everyone one by one. When he saw Lei Jiayin, he was a little surprised: "Why is Lei Datou so thin?"

Lei Datou used to have a bit of a belly, but now he looks very strong and sturdy, which makes his head look even bigger.

"Before filming started, we trained in Shandong Province and lost more than 20 kilograms," Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"It's pretty good. I've lost about 10 pounds."

Xin Zhilei was also quite cheerful: "I lost weight at public expense, yes."

"At least it's not just a piece of abdominal muscle anymore."

Lei Datou scratched his head and grinned.

It can be seen that the atmosphere in the crew is very good.

Zhou Yutang greeted a few people and then went to find Lu Yang for a meeting.

Although I usually receive project progress reports, as the producer of this film, I still need to listen to the director team's proactive work reports.

Lu Yang is very methodical in his work and has devoted almost all his attention to this play.

Before filming started, I worked with the director of photography and the action director for nearly two months to produce a complete storyboard script.

Zhou Yutang was somewhat impressed by how meticulous he was in his work.

There are 236 pages in total, such a thick stack, with a total of 139 scenes and more than 2500 shots.

Lu Yang’s shooting method is also a bit special, with more than 70% of the shots being handheld.

This shooting method can enhance the audience's sense of involvement.

James Wan used this trick many times in The Conjuring.

But it requires a lot of skills from the photographer himself, after all, the smoothness and stability of the picture must be guaranteed.

"When will it be finished?"

"Boss Zhou, according to the current progress."

A middle-aged man in his forties handed Zhou Yutang the production schedule: "If nothing goes wrong, it will be next month at the latest."

He is Wang Yanghui, a general under Chen Xi. He also graduated from Beijing Film Academy and has strong professional abilities.

He is now the production director of the crew and is only responsible to the director and producer Liu Shishi.

However, Producer Liu lowered his eyes slightly, reacted, and glared at Zhou Yutang without any harm.

Wang Yanghui made two production schedules yesterday, and the one he showed her was the one that did not include Zhou Yutang's scenes.

Needless to say, it must have been arranged by someone to trick her into doing this.

Zhou Yutang's schedule was very tight, so he was only given one day, and the entire crew had to cooperate with him.

"Old Wang, move Xin Zhilei's role forward."

Zhou Yutang took a quick look and tapped his fingers on the table.

Xin Zhilei is Haitang Duoduo, the saint of Northern Qi in the "Joy of Life" series.

The filming of this drama is scheduled to start at the end of March. As for how to arrange the progress here, that is something Wang Yanghui needs to solve.

The story timeline of "Blade Identity 2" is a prequel to the first part.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi fell into the water and died soon.

Zhou Yutang, who was still Prince Xin Zhu Youjian, an idle prince, suddenly had the hope of ascending the throne.

He relied heavily on Wei Zhongxian, who was extremely powerful in the court, and even tried to please him.

The scene was cleared and the crew started filming.

Liu Shishi, who was watching nearby, felt a strong impact.

Zhou Yutang didn't have a single line of dialogue, but just through his facial expression and the sharp light in his eyes, he was able to convey extremely strong emotions.

Successfully established the role of this young hero.

How could a young hero who was determined to restore the Ming Dynasty be willing to be controlled by powerful eunuchs and become their puppet?
When he comes to power, he will first kill that old dog Wei Zhongxian, and then punish the Donglin Party!

Lu Yang, who was behind the monitor, also looked very excited.

The stunning glimpse that Zhou Yutang had just gotten reminded him of the heroic figure with the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf.

The veteran actor Jin Shijie, who was acting opposite him, also felt the invisible pressure for the first time in a long time and gradually got into the state.
Wei Zhongxian, played by him, had dishevelled hair and a gloomy face under the candlelight: "Your Highness has run into a big trouble!"

"The emperor's fall into the water was not an accident. Guo Zhen was also involved. If it is not handled properly and His Highness is implicated, it will be terrible!"

"I am a humble man, but I have encountered a great event. I am really frightened and at a loss. I came here tonight to ask the factory owner for advice. What should I do?"

Zhou Yutang pretended to bow, but Jin Shijie held his hand first.

"No!"

"Xiao Wang is dull, please teach me!"

His hands were shaking constantly, his handsome face was distorted due to fear and panic, his eyes were wandering, there were even tears in his eyes, his tone was full of weakness, helplessness and earnest pleading.

All of this shows that the Prince Xin of the Ming Dynasty in front of him is a chess piece that can be controlled.

"Ugh!"

Wei Zhongxian was a shrewd and calculating man, and a barely visible smile appeared on his wrinkled old face.

His eyes were like those of an eagle, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed the wrist of the young Prince Xin.

——The old cunning Wei Zhongxian believed it a little, but not completely. He used his pulse to test whether the young Prince Xin in front of him was acting.

He was very satisfied with the result.

"Why is your highness performing such a grand ceremony?"

Jin Shijie gently helped Zhou Yutang up.

"I am not talented, so I hope the factory master can give me some advice. From now on, I will listen to the factory master's decision on all matters, big or small."

"Your Highness, you are really embarrassing me. What I am worried about now is that the emperor is ill and it will be difficult to recover. If something happens, who do you think will inherit the throne?"

"This is a serious matter. I don't know about it, so it's naturally up to the factory owner to decide."

Watching the expression of the young Prince Xin in front of him, Jin Shijie gradually relaxed, sitting high on the throne, with a proud tone in his voice:

"The Emperor has been thinking about Your Highness a lot lately. If it is as I expected, there will be an imperial decree to summon Your Highness to the palace in the next few days."

"Thank you for your help!"

Having said that, everything was self-explanatory, and Zhou Yutang bowed.

But that fearful expression revealed excitement and surprise.

The Ming Dynasty Emperor Tianqi had no sons, only a younger brother, Prince Xin Zhu Youjian.

Before his death, Emperor Tianqi would utter the classic line "My brother should be like Yao and Shun".

After the death of the elder brother, the younger brother will inherit the throne. The Ming Dynasty will be handed over to the ambitious young Prince Xin who wants to save the world single-handedly.

…………

After the night show ended that night, Zhou Yutang finished filming at lightning speed.

Apart from reshooting a few times with teacher Jin Shijie at night, the rest of the scenes were not difficult and were basically done in one take.

This is what a guest appearance is like. Zhou Yutang’s greater role will mainly be reflected in the publicity at that time.

There is now a professional term in the film industry, called "film content".

As long as there is a movie starring Zhou Yutang, even if the content of Tang is not high, it can still attract a large amount of traffic, which will be of great benefit to the box office.

The big boss was enjoying the romantic life and reciting poems all night long, and Ni Ni, her secretary, was not idle either.

The boss rushed to Hengdian on Yijie's birthday and was photographed by passers-by at the airport.

Someone also took a photo of a luxury car suspected to belong to Zhou Yutang entering the residential area where Liu Shishi lives.

However, the Jiangdong Publicity Department had already prepared a plan and joined hands with the crew of "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" to openly state:

The Grand Commander joined the group today.

It's all for work and art.

As for where I live, it's purely coincidental and no one can find fault with it.

On the way back to Beijing, Ni Ni took the initiative to report another personal matter: "Boss, Yang Mi and Tang Yan seem a little jealous."

Liu Shishi showed her affection last night.

Big Honey's bear is in a lot of pain.

Tang Yan must be depressed too.

The friendship between plastic besties broke apart.

Zhou Yutang quickly switched the chat windows, attacking left and right.

It's time to coax him.

But there is a degree.

It is absolutely impossible to expect Zhou Yutang to do the same to Liu Shishi.
