China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 694: Kiss until the body is soft, eyes are gentle and murderous

A dark grey coat with a black turtleneck sweater underneath.

It's a simple combination, but when worn by Zhou Yutang, it has an indescribable style.

It's like a perfect blend of the deep, restrained, gentle and other unique qualities of a mature man.

The light from the shed shining through the plastic film, interweaving with the cool moonlight, reflected Zhou Yutang's tall and straight back, like a jade tree.

It seems more dazzling than the gods exiled to the human world.

Reason told Zhang Ruolan that the distance between her and Zhou Yutang had crossed the line.

But it was precisely this kind of ambiguous and dangerous atmosphere with uncertainty that made Zhang Ruolan unable to refuse, and her heart inevitably beat fast.

There was always a voice in my heart convincing me that Zhou Yutang was just helping me get into the role.

Shouldn't we thank him?
Not everyone can enjoy such treatment.

Zhang Ruolan even felt a little inexplicably delighted.

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang?"

The filming was about to start, and the voice of executive director Guo Hu brought Zhang Ruolan, who was still in a daze, back to her body.

"Start it right now, are you ready?"

"Wait a mininute."

Zhang Ruolan rinsed her mouth again.

Then, he chewed two pieces of mint gum.

The night snack stall has been set up.

Full of life.

Simple cart with clear plastic shed.

The auntie selling spicy hot pot is busy wearing an apron.

Next to her, there was even a cute little girl, about seven or eight years old, who was sensible and helped her mother with the work.

Warm mist rose from the pot, comforting the entire cool autumn night.

Including Zhou Yutang and Zhang Ruolan who were sitting opposite each other.

There are men and women in the plastic shed of this night snack stall, and it is very lively.

Zhou Yutang used his superpowers, and the entire time and space seemed to freeze at this moment.

The action of the boss adding ingredients to the spicy hot pot was frozen, and tiny seasoning powders fell in the air.

At another table, a man was holding up a wine glass, pausing in the air.

And also get together with friends and have a good laugh.

Nice and cozy feeling.

But Ji Eun-tak is the bride of the gods.

The superpower of time and space stagnation has no effect on her.

"Come on, let's restart our romance."

Looking at Zhang Ruolan in front of him, he drank the white wine in one breath.

He exhaled, his brows wrinkled cutely, a blush appeared on his cheeks, and then he wrinkled his face.

Zhou Yutang had a faint smile on his face: "Is it still romantic?"

"More romantic than before."

Zhang Ruolan, who was slightly tipsy, looked naturally cute and naive.

The arc of Zhou Yutang's mouth seemed to be bigger, and his eyes became softer.

"Blurred lights, simple side dishes, bitter liquor, tragic thoughts, everything is full of romantic feelings, one more would be perfect."

"what?"

"First kiss."

The atmosphere was like this. Zhang Ruolan felt that Zhou Yutang's gentle and affectionate eyes were like a deep whirlpool, very attractive.

"what?"

The tone of voice changed obviously, Zhou Yutang's smile disappeared briefly, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.

"The last time was just a normal kiss, it doesn't count."

"Don't move."

I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol, but Zhang Ruolan always feels her heart beating faster and her courage has increased a lot.

He stood up with confidence, put his hands behind his back and walked in front of Zhou Yutang with the blue plastic stool.

The world is lively and noisy.

But the moment their eyes met, it was very quiet.

Lin Yufen, who was standing behind the monitor, saw Zhou Yutang in the camera. He seemed to be inexplicably frightened and leaned back slightly, with helplessness written all over his handsome face.

The cute contrast made her eyes light up and she couldn't help but purse her lips.

Working with actors like Zhou Yutang always brings her surprises.

He has a very special quality.

That's perception.

To put it more professionally, it means the reception, perception and understanding of various information during the performance.

Perceive the character's inner world and subtle emotional changes.

I adjusted my state very naturally, integrated myself into the role, and then was able to have a perfect emotional interaction with the actor opposite me.

Performances are not isolated.

Even a newcomer like Zhang Ruolan with no basic skills could be led by him, bringing out the natural purity of a girl in her.

"Have you forgotten that I am the bride of the gods?"

Zhang Ruolan raised her face, her eyes were hazy, and there was even a hint of pride in her innocent voice: "Hmm, hmm, you can't hold me still."

"It means you can never hide from me."

"I'm not hiding from you. Hiding once is enough."

Zhou Yutang's gentle eyes dropped.

Suddenly he turned from passive to active and gently held Zhang Ruolan's cheeks with both hands.

He slowly lowered his head and kissed those lips that looked as if they were painted with red nail polish.

A little bit.

Savoring the shyness and softness unique to a young girl.

Zhang Ruolan closed her eyes nervously, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Responded awkwardly.

Her body gradually became soft, as if she was walking on cotton, or as if she was floating in the air.

Only when we separated did I dare to secretly open my eyes.

His signature brilliant smile emerged, so warm that it seemed to be able to melt the coldest ice.

It also melted the heart of the old guy who had lived for hundreds of years.

The wonderful atmosphere made all the female staff members of the crew smile.

Director Lin Yufen also showed a satisfied smile.

Impeccable!

Executive Director Guo Hu was also a little surprised when he saw the screen on the monitor. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Director Lin, what kind of magic medicine did Mr. Zhou give Xiao Zhang? How come he suddenly became enlightened?"

Zhou Yutang is a well-known talented person in the circle, and directors all over China want to work with him.

Whether it was the lines, expressions or rhythm, they were all just right, leaving Guo Hu feeling amazed.

But what shocked him the most was that Zhou Yutang was able to bring Zhang Ruolan into the play.

He has been explaining acting to Zhang Ruolan earnestly these past few days, so how could he not know what this little girl is capable of?
In terms of image and temperament, he is very suitable for the role of Ji Eun-tak, but it is also an indisputable fact that he lacks acting experience.

Many details were not handled well enough, and the filming progress of the crew was delayed a lot on her side.

I originally thought that based on the current schedule in the evening, it would take at least two or three days to shoot the night scenes.

However, after Zhou Yutang took her out for a chat, Zhang Ruolan seemed to have opened up her Ren and Du meridians.

Her behavior just now was very natural; that's how a young girl's heart is moved.

"Yu Tang is very good at training actresses."

Lin Yufen smiled and told Guo Hu some gossip: "When we were filming "My Love from the Star", Liu Yifei was basically brought up by him. Xiao Zhang is good and quite talented."

This is a good sign!

Lin Yufen also had this wonderful feeling that time.

Then, after Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei’s "My Love from the Star" was broadcast, it became a phenomenal hit.

"Unit 2, close up."

"I want close-ups of both people's faces."

"Lighting team, make the lighting softer."

Although secretly happy, the experienced Lin Yufen did not forget to direct the crew.

Filming continues.

This time it was Zhang Ruolan who stood up on her own initiative.

She lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

He leaned forward, smiled gently, and gave Zhou Yutang a light kiss.

"Okay, this one is passed!"

After checking the shots she had taken again and getting Zhou Yutang's nod, Lin Yufen announced with satisfaction that they could call it a day.

"Mr. Zhou will treat everyone to a midnight snack tonight."

"Mr. Zhou is generous."

"Long live Governor Zhou."

The crew members immediately cheered.

The same was true for the extras who were just sitting at the night snack stall. Filming was work, and watching Zhou Yutang was life.

However, due to Governor Zhou's strong aura, not many people came up to him to ask for his autograph or take photos with him.

The on-site producer took the crew members to a restaurant for a midnight snack. Zhou Yutang, Lin Yufen, Zhang Ruolan and other actors held a meeting to arrange tomorrow's filming.

This was also the rule of Zhou Yutang's crew. Lin Yufen had already gotten used to it, but Zhang Ruolan's fair cheeks were still flushed, and she felt a little uneasy.

Zhou Yutang joked nonchalantly: "Xiao Zhang, you're not drunk, are you?"

Tonight, for this scene, Zhang Ruolan drank real liquor, which was from the advertisement of Jiang Xiaobai.

So some of her expressions are the most natural reactions of being tipsy and are not pretended at all.

"No, no, I just drank a little."

Zhang Ruolan made a gesture with her index finger and thumb: "About this much."

“The gum tastes pretty good.”

"."

In late November, the film market continued to be sluggish.

The total box office of "007: Spectre" in China has exceeded million yuan and started to decline.

"Master" was released 11 days ago and the total box office has reached 1.69 million yuan. It has received rave reviews, but the box office has dropped to less than million yuan.

If the film is well received but not popular, there is nothing we can do about it.

But compared to Zhang Ruojun's "Spending the Long Years with Anthony", the movie braked at 9283, which is still decent.

Wang Changtian of Guangxian can totally accept this report card.

These two low-budget films were originally intended to be test works.

According to the current box office trends, it should not be difficult to make a small profit after recovering the production costs.

All of Guangxian’s real publicity resources were given to "Bad Guys" which was preparing to hit the New Year's Eve release.

While Sun Li was doing the promotion work for the drama recently, she did not forget to promote the movie, and Deng Chao spared no effort in promoting it.

Before the release of "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay - Part ", the final chapter of the "Hunger Games" series starring Big Cousin, in China, the producers issued a lot of promotional press releases.

However, on the first day of the Chinese film market, it only closed at 3076 million.

After barely breaking 100 million yuan in the first weekend, the single-day box office quickly fell to less than 10 million yuan. "That's it?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at the box office and his smile turned cold.

The movie that successfully sniped Big Cousin was "Our Girlhood" which was introduced from Taiwan Province. It grossed over 100 million yuan in the first weekend and was considered a dark horse in November.

This movie was released in Taiwan in August and was a phenomenon of the year. It grossed NT$4.1 million in Taiwan, surpassing "The Martian" and its box office was even ten times that of Hou's "The Assassin".

Zhou Yutang glanced at the name of the male protagonist and found it familiar. He turned his head and asked Ni Ni,

"Wang Dalu? He seems to be Chai Zhiping's man?"

"Well, the second generation of a wealthy businessman from Taiwan Province is currently suing Chai Zhiping and is preparing to terminate the contract."

Cao Baoping temporarily put aside the post-production work in his hands and took Deng Chao, Liu Shishi and others to Taiwan Province.

As soon as she arrived in Taiwan, Liu Shishi's airport street photos and the news of her and Ke Jiayan shopping at the Taipei night market became hot searches.

The nickname "Liu Chichi" given to her by her fans is really not wrong. Wherever she goes, she never forgets to eat delicious food.

Zhou Yutang continued to join the filming.

Today's filming was of the first meeting between the hero and heroine. The specific filming location was an alley with stone walls in the Badaguan Scenic Area.

Badaguan is known as the "International Architecture Expo".

The stone walls, red bricks and autumn atmosphere here match each other, and the whole atmosphere exudes a unique artistic beauty.

It was late autumn and the ground was covered with ginkgo leaves, creating a beautiful scene.

Song Qian happened to be in her hometown today. When she visited the crew, she was warmly welcomed by the crew. "Thank you Qianqian for treating everyone to McDonald's!"

As the captain of the Function Girls Group, Song Qian is well versed in the ways of the world.

The assistant was taking photos to post on Weibo, and the staff were busy distributing food. Song Qian greeted everyone and came over to chat with Zhou Yutang for a while.
"Brother Teng has been so embarrassed lately."

"what happened?"

Since "Charlotte" became a hit, Happy Twist and Shen Teng have been shining in the comedy variety show jointly created by Mingjie and Fanqie TV.

With the subsequent traffic, it is now extremely popular.

The chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala had already made an appointment with Happy Twist for the program. When Zhou Yutang heard Song Qian say that Shen Teng was in trouble, he was a little surprised.

"There is a reality show about how sons-in-law get along with their parents-in-law. Shen Teng's future parents-in-law were invited, and they kept forcing him to get married. It was so embarrassing. Many viewers scolded Brother Teng."

"This is all an effect by the program team, but it backfired."

This was Zhou Yutang’s first reaction.

As far as he knew, Shen Teng and his girlfriend Wang Qi had been in a relationship for twelve years.

Although he looks very funny in movies and variety shows, Shen Teng is very low-key in real life and would never be willing to make his proposal public.

Song Qian received a call from home, which basically told her to drive carefully. It was also the first time Zhou Yutang heard her speak Shandong dialect, which was quite interesting.

"I almost forgot you are from Qingdao."

After she finished the call, Zhou Yutang smiled faintly and said, "How was the filming of the drama "Fantasy City"?"

As an idol who returned from South Korea, Song Qian also has her own popularity base.

After coming back, like Lu Han, he received basic acting training at Yamashita School.

At the same time, variety shows were also arranged for her.

After all, you have to eat.

Variety shows at this stage pay a lot of money.

Her regular appearances on two popular variety shows, "Longing for Life" and "Sisters Over Flowers", have greatly increased her popularity among the public and she has received many brand endorsements.

In addition, there are also some TV drama contracts, and the pay is not low.

In the first year after returning to China, Song Qian earned more money than she had in previous years and bought a house in Beijing. Although it was a loan, it was extremely rare at her age.

You know, many senior artists who are still famous are still renting houses.

"It's almost finished."

Song Qian was sincerely grateful for the road Zhou Yutang had paved for her. She smiled and said, "I just happened to be taking a two-day break and went home to see my mom. I saw you filming in Qingdao, so I came to see you."

“Qingdao is pretty good, the seafood is delicious.”

Zhou Yutang said with a smile.

Huang Bo, Huang Xiaoming, Song Qian and other friends who have a good relationship with him are all from Qingdao, and he has a good impression of this city.

"It's mainly fresh. I know a restaurant that has really good food."

Song Qian was proud to be recognized for her hometown's food, and she was visibly excited. Zhou Yutang was slightly moved:
"Are you interested in making a cameo appearance?"

"what?"

Song Qian's eyes widened and she pointed at herself: "Me?"

"Today's scene will require quite a few extras."

Zhou Yutang explained to her with a chuckle.

What we filmed today was the scene where the hero and heroine met for the first time.

Chi Eun-tak, a high school girl at an ordinary art school, is destined to be the bride of a god.

She was born with the ability to see ghosts wandering in the human world.

Therefore, strange ghosts often appear before her eyes, speaking incomprehensible words to her.

Since we’re here, we can let Song Qian play a ghost role, which can be considered an interesting little easter egg.

"I'm fine."

Song Qian readily agreed.

Anyway, she doesn't have any schedule, so it would be quite interesting for her to make a cameo appearance.

Her makeup is relatively simple and sober, and definitely not too eye-catching.

The outfit was a custom-made plain white linen. Song Qian raised her hands, her long hair fluttering down. Like in a Hong Kong zombie movie, her body was stiff and she jumped twice on the spot.

"Goose goose goose!"

The makeup artist and crew members all laughed like geese along with Song Qian.

"Be reserved."

Zhou Yutang held his forehead with his hand and couldn't help laughing: "After all, she is the captain of the female team."

Since appearing on the variety show, Song Qian has become less and less burdened by her idol image.

She is bright and beautiful, lively and cheerful, works hard, and is not pretentious - this personality that makes her feel close to her fans is also the reason why she has so many fans.

This scene was shot on a rainy day.

Unfortunately, it didn't rain that day, so the crew arranged a sprinkler truck.

Zhang Ruolan has always been paying attention to Zhou Yutang.

After he finished talking to Song Qian, he came over to ask for advice out of habit.

In the previous kissing scene, even Lin Yufen and Liu Tianchi spoke highly of her. This feeling of being recognized by others made Zhang Ruolan taste the sweetness.

Since that night, she seemed to have suddenly figured it out.

Apart from being handsome, rich and having an appealing temperament, Zhou Yutang didn't seem as cold, overbearing and difficult to approach as she had imagined.

In this case, it is better to take the initiative than to sit back and do nothing.

Perhaps even Zhang Ruolan herself did not realize that there was always an inexplicable coquettish tone in the way she spoke to Zhou Yutang, as if she subconsciously regarded him as someone she could rely on.

——Song Qian, who was observing silently, noticed it.

Zhou Yutang expressed his satisfaction with Zhang Ruolan, who was so motivated.

As an actor, you may not have talent, but at least you must have attitude.

The outside world may not know that this is a very important hidden criterion that Zhou Yutang uses to select actors from his own database.

The little yellow duck, who was originally ranked high as the heroine, lost a lot of points because of this aspect.

Be a good person first, then act.

A compulsory course given by Jiangdong Entertainment to its artists.

The two people are a couple in this drama. That kind of CP feeling is very important and is also the most important factor for the success of this drama.

It is useless for him to stand out alone. Zhang Ruolan has to take over the role, and there should be interaction and feedback between the two to highlight the integrity of the performance.

Song Qian was eavesdropping nearby.

Guo Hu also pricked up his ears.

As the assistant director of the drama, he cherishes this hard-won opportunity.

Governor Zhou is an Asian superstar and a world-renowned top commercial film director.

He is particularly good at training actresses. Liu Shishi, Liu Yifei and others have been trained by him.

While he was doing his work, he was also secretly learning this way of communicating with actors.

Zhou Yutang and Lin Yufen have somewhat different ways of explaining opera.

He would teach Zhang Ruolan specific and detailed performance methods, including movements, expressions, and even during communication, he would consciously guide her on what mood she should be in and at what time.

After the communication, the test shoot was over, all departments were ready, and the formal shooting was about to begin.

The drizzle of autumn rain weaved a foggy net between the sky and the earth.

There is a refreshing coolness in the mist.

Wearing a school uniform with a hooded sweatshirt and a skirt on the lower body, and carrying a school bag, Ji Eun-tak looks like a youthful high school girl.

Everyone else was holding an umbrella, except her.

Wearing the hood of his sweatshirt, putting on headphones, and with his hands in his pockets, he walked on the street with his body slightly hunched.

Met the wandering soul Song Qian.

Song Qian made her presence felt to demonstrate the abilities of the Bride of God.

——She can see wandering souls in the world.

Chi Eun-tak was startled, muttered a few words and complained, then continued on his way.

then.

In the sparse crowd, I met the destined god.

The raindrops hit the black umbrella like pearls falling on a jade plate, splashing everywhere.

The falling raindrops stopped, time stopped, space stopped.

The hustle and bustle of the surrounding crowd seemed to fade away at this moment.

Chi Eun-tak raised his eyes and stared at the mysterious man walking through the rain with an umbrella.

Zhou Yutang called a halt and took Zhang Ruolan behind the monitor. He showed her the movements with his hands and explained the scene to her seriously: "Pay attention, when you walk over there, you should look straight ahead and see the sword on Jin Xin's chest, then slowly look up and look at him."

"do it again."

Lin Yufen said with a smile.

The camera switches from medium shot to close shot at the right time.

Jin Xin raised his umbrella, and the two men's eyes met, about ten meters apart.

Keeping this posture of moving forward and looking at each other, we completed the short distance.

"Boss Zhou's eye acting is amazing."

Guo Hu's sigh expressed Song Qian's thoughts.

She saw it clearly behind the monitor, and even though it had not been post-processed, she could still feel the deep emotional changes of the character Jin Xin conveyed by Zhou Yutang through his eyes.

Ever since Zhou Yutang suddenly emerged, many people in the industry have commented that he is the mainland's Liang Tianwang.

It's because his eyes can make people feel that there is a lot of story.

If we say that Liang Chaowei's eyes have a melancholy tone.

Then, Zhou Yutang's eyes are deep and restrained.

It seems that looking at someone a few more times will make them feel affectionate.

The charming look in her eyes when she raised the umbrella.

And the look in their eyes when their figures crossed each other suddenly changed.

It was like a glance through a thousand years, seeing through the vicissitudes of life and seeing the throbbing of fate.

Zhou Yutang didn't have any lines, just looked back with an umbrella in the rain at the end.

But it's worth more than a thousand words.
