China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 650: Mythological epic masterpiece, finished and returned to Beijing

Just when I saw the screenshot of the Daji skin order sent by Zhou Yutang.

Liu Yifei refused verbally.

After hearing the Grand Commander's sweet words, he acquiesced.

She is not really a fairy sister who is detached from the world.

Ever since I broke through that level of relationship with Zhou Yutang, I can’t say that I’ve tasted the sweetness of it, but I’m enjoying it.

At the beginning, faced with some relatively excessive requests from Zhou Yutang, Liu Yifei shyly refused and refused to comply even if she died.

But under someone's deliberate guidance, the bottom line was broken step by step, and all kinds of tricks were used.
Miss Liu promoted the drama "The Legend of the Gods" that evening, and Bona immediately held a media conference.

Long Wu and Mr. Hua from the production company were not present. Fatty Yu pointed out Jiangshan and said with a beaming face:

"The cast of the project "Legend of the Gods" controlled by Bona, China Star and Moon Entertainment has been basically confirmed!"

"The film will feature a super-luxurious cast of stars including Jet Li, Li Binbin, Eddie Peng, Yang Ying, Louis Koo, Gordon Leung, Xiang Zuo, Wen Zhang, Xu Qing, etc. The investment will start at RMB 4 million, and will bring an unprecedented epic masterpiece of historical mythology to the audience!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Fatty Yu knows how to attract attention.

At the media conference, Yang Ying took the center stage. She has been using the breakup to hype up her image as a heroine and her popularity is at its peak.

In addition, the Kung Fu Emperor returns to the stage, and Li Binbin, one of the two ice idols.

Xiang Zuo is just there to make up the numbers. Eddie Peng, Louis Koo, and Wen Zhang are also all popular stars in the entertainment industry.

This historical mythological epic has attracted a lot of attention!
"It moves pretty fast."

Zhou Yutang was browsing the film and television information on the Internet, and saw Fatty Yu was passionate about doing something big, so he just watched it for fun.

Speaking of Fatty Yu, he is quite something.

I guess they made several plans for the female lead in advance, and Teacher Fan was the first choice.

Then came Liu Yifei, Sister Lianhua and others.

After all, Fatty Yu is also a professional film and television person and has his own analysis and evaluation team when working on projects. In terms of traffic and role suitability, there is probably no actress in the circle who is more suitable to play Daji than Teacher Fan.

Teacher Fan also mentioned this matter when flirting with Zhou Yutang on a daily basis.

The offer made to her was slightly lower than that of Liu Tianxian, and was also among the highest paid female stars.

After some consideration, I finally refused.

Compared to the epic mythological masterpiece created by the Longwu family and Bonner, she prefers Zhou Yutang's "Detective Chinatown 3".

So far, only Wang Baoqiong has been officially announced, and the heroine and other roles are all being auditioned.

During this period, Teacher Fan was diligent in seeking favor and testing me from time to time, mostly for this reason.

She is such a realistic woman.

The entertainment industry’s top resources have always only been connected to top stars.

Teacher Fan pushed this opportunity, and Liu Yifei didn't consider it, so Sister Lianhua, who is also a double ice player, took over as a substitute.

The Internet is full of reports about this drama.

What? Yang Ying and Feng Shaofeng are back together again.

What kind of student Wen took over Zhang Baizhi's business?

Rumor has it that Nezha was originally looking for Zhang Baizhi, but Xiao Dangjia's ex-wife acted like a big shot on the set and repeatedly caused trouble, so she was kicked out of the crew by Long Wu's wife.
It was at this time.

Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron", which has been planned for a long time, has finally begun to reap global box office crazily.

The film was released in North America on May 8442st and grossed $ million on the same day!
It took over from vegetarian chicken and swept through the North American market with great force.

It then hit theaters in China, grossing 1.52 million yuan on the first day!
Under its strong pressure, the imported blockbuster "Chappie" produced by Columbia only earned 1252 million on the first day and was directly defeated!
With such overwhelming momentum, all Chinese films released during the May Day holiday were suppressed.

Only "The Accidental Murderer" is still standing.

The box office on that day remained stable at just over 20 million.

Based on the first day data, Maoyan app gave this Marvel blockbuster a box office forecast of over 14 billion.

Just as the vegetarian chicken that knocked over everything was sent away, an equally ferocious tiger came.

The film and television companies in the industry were wailing.

The films of two veteran directors, Zhang Aijia and Wang Xiaoshuai, were the first to become cannon fodder, with box office revenues of less than 10 million yuan each, and were hastily closed.

"Silent Separation", "Equator" and "Left Ear" were also greatly affected, with a sharp drop in screenings.

It seems that Jiangdong's "The Accidental Murder" is becoming more and more popular.

Throughout the May Day period, only "The Accidental Murderer" withstood the pressure from Su Ji, and now it is facing head-on against "Avengers 2".

"General Wen, the pioneer in the fight against the US?"

Zhou Yutang saw the link forwarded by Zhou Yeye, a little girl in the "accidental manslaughter group", clicked on it and immediately laughed.

If you want to talk about the whole life, you have to look at the masters of Tieba.

Wen Muye’s career record was posted, and it was really well-founded.

The first film directly confronts Batman, Spider-Man, and The Expendables
The second movie is vegetarian chicken, Avengers 2
It is precisely because of withstanding the test of these top imported blockbusters that Wen Muye’s reputation has become more and more famous.

It is not the case that "The Accidental Murderer" has surpassed "Avengers 2". The movie has entered its third week of screening and has gradually gone downhill.

But it is definitely not difficult to do it without losing dignity.

The crew of "Joy of Life 3" was divided into two groups as usual.

Sun Hao is more experienced, but this is the first time that Li Muge leads a team independently.

But both of them have followed the entire series and are very comfortable with Zhou Yutang's way of doing things.

Jiang Xueruo personally served as the chief producer, and Ni Ni also did some behind-the-scenes work. The two groups worked in parallel, greatly improving the efficiency of filming.

Moreover, both Sun Hao and director Li Muge felt that they benefited greatly from their collaboration and communication with Zhou Yutang.

Although Zhou Yutang is the lead actor in this drama, his talent as a director is also recognized as unparalleled.

Being able to win numerous awards at major film festivals at this age is not just the result of capital operation.

Having absorbed the strengths of several great directors, his directing skills are indeed much higher than those of Sun Hao and Li Muge.

"Li Muge may be able to take charge of his own affairs in the future."

They continued to absorb and learn during the communication and practical operation, and Zhou Yutang also had an overall assessment of their abilities in his mind.

Sun Hao graduated from the Performance Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy and was an actor at China National Theatre. He later switched careers and became a director.

Whether it is Xiao Song Jia's "Old Girls Should Get Married" or Xu Guangtou's "Old Men Should Get Married", they are all excellent dramas made by him.

This person has solid skills, like a contractor on the front line of production. He can conscientiously complete the goals according to the script and there is nothing wrong with him.

In this regard, Li Muge, who started late and has no experience in taking charge, is obviously not as good as Sun Hao.

Both his storytelling skills and his ability to train actors are somewhat immature.

However, Zhou Yutang admired Li Muge more. Apart from the fact that his contract was signed in Jiangdong and he was a family member, he also had more personality than Sun Hao.

When communicating, Sun Hao always follows Zhou Yutang's lead.

Whatever the Grand Commander says goes.

But Li Muge always has his own unique ideas and dares to express them.

Sometimes I get beaten back, but sometimes, it does have unexpected effects.

Based on previous collaborations and observations over this period of time, Zhou Yutang was certain that this guy had some aesthetic talent.

In other words, he has a unique sensitivity to the language of the lens, and what he shoots can give people beautiful feelings.

The photo shoot of sending Chen Pingping off in the rain today was left to Li Muge.

The crew's staff were very busy ensuring that the sprinkler truck could function properly.

After the scene was cleared, the shooting officially began.

The drizzle seemed to weave a misty net between the sky and the earth.

Chen Daoming, dressed in a black dragon robe with a gold belt, stood above the imperial city with an indifferent look in his eyes.

Looking down on the common people is like looking at ants.

At this moment, on the execution platform below.

Eunuch Yao read out the imperial edict loudly and announced Chen Pingping's crimes in public.

Wu Gang was hunched over, kneeling on the ground, tied to a wooden frame, and was skinned alive by the executioner.

From time to time, cheers broke out from the crowd.

"Your hands aren't steady enough, your knife isn't sharp enough, and it doesn't hurt."

Even though his blood was about to run out and he was dying, Chen Pingping did not beg for mercy, nor did he bow to Emperor Qing.

A tragic smile appeared on his face as he commented on the executioner's knife skills.

His head was always raised proudly, his eyes looked beyond the crowd and the imperial city, and fell in a certain direction.

In the last moments of life, when one is about to die but not yet dead, there is always a breath hanging on.

Chen Pingping knew that the boy would come eventually.

At this time, Zhou Yutang, surrounded by thousands of imperial guards, came galloping and knocked people and horses to the ground.

The extras had a really hard time. They couldn't dodge the water truck spraying water on their heads. They also had to cooperate and pretend to be shocked.

Zhou Yutang stomped his feet heavily on the horse's back, and with the help of the power of the wire, he instantly flew into the air.

"Click, do it again!"

Li Muge shouted, paused, as if he was organizing his words, and then explained to Zhou Yutang with gestures: "Boss Zhou, Fan Xian is rushing back to Kyoto at this time. I just saw that the costume you are wearing is not right..."

"Boss Zhou, do you need a substitute?"

Jiang Xuehuan was also present today. He seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally opened his mouth and made a suggestion.

Riding a horse at full speed while hanging on wires is still somewhat dangerous.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Zhou Yutang didn't act pretentiously and asked the makeup artist to change into a new set of battle-damaged costumes.

In fact, he was fine. Wire ropes and other things had been tested by professionals, so there was no chance of accidents.

But the martial arts actors who act opposite each other will suffer.

This scene was shot several times, and he fell from the air several times.

Several buddies had smiles on their faces, but they were probably thinking MMP in their hearts and wanted to punch Li Muge twice.

Shooting resumes.

Howling!
The mournful neighing of war horses and the screams of the people who were intercepting Zhou Yutang in the air rang out at the same time.

Above the imperial city, Chen Daoming still stood with his hands behind his back, but his eyes suddenly narrowed, as sharp as a knife.

He killed several people in a row as if he was in an empty place.

Zhou Yutang untied the restraints on Wu Gang.

Raindrops poured down from the sky, hitting the execution platform, making crackling sounds.

It also struck the two men on the execution platform.

“It tastes right!”

Li Muge leaned forward unconsciously behind the monitor, his eyes shining. Wu Gang was indeed a pillar of the People's Art Theatre, and he was in great shape at this time.

And Zhou Yutang was not inferior at all and completely took over his role.

He didn't speak.

But my eyes turned red for a moment.

He walked over with some difficulty, and with trembling hands, he took off his black robe which was covered with mud and holes, and covered Wu Gang's wounded body.

"I'm late."

When Zhou Yutang picked up Wu Gang, the executioner had a fierce look in his eyes and was ready to raise his knife behind him.

Zhou Yutang didn't even turn his head, the dagger flew out from his sleeve, and in an instant, the head fell to the ground.

Such ferocity caused the surroundings to instantly become silent.

The imperial guards were so shocked and terrified that they couldn't help but take half a step back.

Precarious.

Zhou Yutang hugged this lonely old man who looked like a candle in the wind and could go out at any time, and murmured: "You've already left, why are you coming back? Why are you doing this?"

"I have worked hard all these years just for you to live a good life."

"You know, I know everything."

"That box, that box"

At this moment, Wu Gang's pale face showed a strange blush, and his throat made a hoarse sound. He asked these words in his last moments of clarity:
"The Box"

"It's a gun. A very powerful firearm."

“I have this thing, too.”

Wu Gang held Zhou Yutang's arm tightly, said the last words with a proud smile, then his arm dropped and his body gradually softened.

"I know."

Zhou Yutang's voice and hands were trembling. He gently closed his eyes and suddenly burst into silent tears.

The emotions that had been brewing to the limit burst out in an instant.

It is hard to tell whether it is rain or tears, but it makes people feel the heart-wrenching pain, like a tide, which is about to drown people.

Zhou Yutang hugged Wu Gang, turned around and looked deeply at Chen Daoming who was looking down on the world indifferently in the imperial city, and revealed a brilliant smile full of murderous intent.

"what?"

The assistant director next to him had memorized the script by heart and was well aware that Zhou Yutang did not follow the script.

The final emotional outburst was performed at his own rhythm, which was a bit strange but very contagious.

When Da Dudu made his debut in his early years, he was called the mainland's Liang Chaowei by the industry because he had a pair of eyes that could speak.

Li Muge learned his lesson today, and slapped his thigh: "Pass!"

He stood up from his seat excitedly.

The filming of this scene went more smoothly than expected.

The scenes between Wu Gang and Zhou Yutang are full of atmosphere and will surely be the famous scenes of the entire series.

Zhou Yutang took the towel handed over by Ni Ni and wiped his face: "Teacher Wu, congratulations on the completion of the filming."

"You did a great job."

Wu Gang shook his head and laughed, "I almost didn't catch the scene just now."

People around were bidding farewell. After today, Chen Pingping was offline and Wu Gang also finished filming the show.

Zhou Yutang walked behind the monitor to check the specific shooting effects.

Sending Chen Pingping off in the rain is an extremely crucial scene in the final season of “Joy of Life”.

Especially the last line that Chen Pingping said on his deathbed, which was quite meaningful and instantly established his character.

He had a gun on his wheelchair, which was probably equivalent to the troll in the chicken game, but he failed to kill Emperor Qing.

The gun was given to him by Ye Qingmei.

Ye Qingmei is also the only person in the world who treats him equally.

So Chen Pingping could give everything for her, including his own life.

There is another meaning. Although Chen Pingping has physical defects, he is more of a man than most men with intact bodies.

He didn't have a gun on him, but the gun in his heart was always there.

"Avengers 2 has been released for two weeks, and the box office has accumulated 12.28 billion yuan, continuing to soar!"

"'The Accidental Murderer' has officially been released, with the total domestic box office reported at 15.21 billion. Wen Muye has become a big director in the billion box office club!"

"The Accidental Murderer" had its potential reduced by "Avengers 2", and it has basically reached its limit.

"Congratulations, Mosquito. How does it feel to become a big director in the 15 billion box office club?"

"In one word, tired."

Wen Muye said in the private group of Jiangdong Three Musketeers: "I just want to go home and sleep all day."

Since the movie was released, he has been on the roadshow for more than 20 days, during which time he also took part in several interview variety shows.

Following Zhang Yimou, Wen Muye, who had accumulated a lot of experience, made a breakthrough overnight.

Another Jiangdong director with a box office of 15 billion was born.

The entertainment headlines of all major portals were reporting on this incident, and the hot posts on forums and the hot searches on Weibo were all reviewing and discussing Jiangdong Entertainment’s brilliant record.

The film and television companies in the industry all looked up to him, envious to the point of being speechless.

The Chinese film market is so hot that LeTV Pictures is striking while the iron is hot. Its shareholder and director Guo Xiaosi officially announced that his fantasy novel "Jade Dynasty" will be adapted into a movie.

With the support of the Tiny Times series, Guo Xiaosi is also a young director who cannot be underestimated in the film and television industry.

Guo Xiaosi announced the first lead actor of the movie "Lord of the Thrones" through his Weibo account, "#Fan Binbin stars in "Lord of the Thrones#, the craziest dream in the summer of 2016, with countless beauties that are incomparable. The most beautiful thing in the dream is you."

Teacher Fan’s presence was still high enough, and he instantly made it to the top three of the entertainment hot search list.

The person above her is Zhang Xinyu.

Just walked the red carpet in Cannes, Ms. Fan wore a Ralph & Russo haute couture gown that was hand-embroidered, decorated with green flowers and plants, and decorated with tens of thousands of Swarovski crystals, paired with dazzling Chopard haute couture jewelry.

It’s so beautiful!

As a result, Zhang Xinyu made a surprising move and grabbed the headlines by wearing a cotton-padded jacket with Northeastern flowers.

Domestic netizens unanimously thought the look was "ugly", but the official Cannes live broadcast gave a close-up shot - in previous years, the official live broadcast of the Cannes red carpet show rarely gave close-ups of Chinese actresses, and with Zhang Xinyu's status, this was absolutely impossible!

In short, Teacher Fan was almost furious, and regardless of the time difference, he complained to Zhou Yutang all night long.

This year's Cannes came to an end. Hou Xiaoxian won the Best Director Award for "Nie Yinniang", and Section Chief Jia also did not return empty-handed, winning the Directors' Fortnight Lifetime Achievement Award.

Zhou Yutang was on the set and sent congratulatory messages to the two.

Jiang Wen was not willing to be lonely and announced his new play to the public.

Although the box office performance of "One Step Away" did not meet expectations, as the saying goes, Jiang Wen is still one of the top directors in the circle.

He wants to do projects, and there is plenty of capital willing to pay for them.

This is the last dance in the Beiyang Trilogy, and many of Jiang Wen's fans are looking forward to him making another masterpiece like Let the Bullets Fly.

Except Jiang Wen.

After undergoing secret special training, Brother Chen Kai finally officially announced the start of filming for the Sino-US co-production "The Great Wall", and simultaneously promoted the publicity plan for "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain".

……

"OK, congratulations to Mr. Zhou for finishing the film!"

When Zhou Yutang heard director Sun Hao say this, he felt relieved.

Then a faint sense of loss slowly began to spread in my heart.

It feels like reading a novel. After finishing a wonderful novel, you will feel bored.

The same is true when filming. He invested a lot of emotion in the role of Fan Xian. It is also because of this that he was able to portray the feeling of young Lord Fan who is free and unrestrained.

Next, you need to use familiar methods to separate yourself from this role as quickly as possible.

Zhou Yutang took a deep breath and clapped his hands:
"Tonight, everyone must get drunk!"

"Zhou Yutang seems to have finished filming, and "Joy of Life 3" will enter the final stage, and stills continue to be released!"

"It is reported that after the filming of Nirvana in Fire was completed, Noon Sunshine and Jiangdong Entertainment officially started filming the new drama The Pretender, starring Hu Ge, Jin Dong, Liu Mintao, Wang Kai, Song Tie, Meng Ziyi and others, with a luxurious cast!"

"Jiang Dong's new drama "Ode to Joy" has entered the final audition stage. The drama will be directed by Kong Sheng and starred by Zeng Li!"

When talking about big directors in the film industry, Zhou Yutang broke the original pattern of three major directors dominating the industry, and the three generals of Jiangdong are all outstanding directors of the younger generation.

But speaking only of the TV drama industry, Lin Yufen's achievements can be said to be unrivaled.

Just one movie, "My Love from the Star", helped her sweep across Asia and become a legend in one fell swoop.

In addition to Lin Yufen, Director Kong Sheng is also a popular director in the drama circle.

The filming of Nirvana in Fire was completed in April, and Kong Sheng had almost no time to rest. He worked in post-production at Vision Media, while simultaneously promoting auditions for Ode to Joy. He also went to help out on the crew of The Pretender.

Well, he is a brick of the revolution, and he will be moved wherever he is needed.

After Noon Sunshine and Hu Ge worked together in Nirvana in Fire, Kong Sheng called Zhou Yutang several times to discuss the filming situation and always praised him.

Later, Mr. Kong personally selected the top stars of Tangren. In addition to Hu Ge, there were also the well-known veteran Jin Dong and the young actor Kaikai Wang from Jiangdong Entertainment.

The drama is mainly controlled by Noon Sunshine, with Jiangdong Entertainment participating in the investment. Zhou Yutang did not interfere in the specific casting matters.

It was just that Meng Ziyi was inserted through the back door.

After a night of revelry, Zhou Yutang flew directly to Beijing, with Reba reluctant to leave.

The crew took a half-day break, and then Sun Hao and Li Muge will continue the final stage of filming.

Zhou Yutang definitely enjoys privileges, as the entire crew arranges their schedule around him.

Reba and other actors’ scenes may take more than half a month.

"Nini, where did you get this book?"

The journey was boring, so Zhou Yutang asked Ni Ni for a book. It turned out to be Jackie Chan’s new book “Jackie Chan: Getting Old Before Growing Up” which was released last month. There was also Jackie Chan’s autograph on the title page.

"It seems like Jackie Chan had someone send it over last month."

Next to him, Ni Ni was working on a PPT with her head down, and chatting with her boss in a haphazard manner.

This book was narrated by Jackie Chan himself and written by Huayi Publicity Director Zhu Mo.

Zhou Yutang flipped through it casually and sighed: "Jackie Chan is really bold in speaking."

"I had many girlfriends at that time, and I was choosing who was the best."

"After we got married, I did everything I could to make sure she didn't get a penny from me after the divorce."

"."

These are things that actually happened to Jackie Chan.

It may sound outrageous, but this is how it is in this flashy circle.

Especially in that barbaric era, these were nothing.

Let’s change it to today.

If Jackie Chan dares to hit a reporter, the whole thing will explode.
