China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 695: The Popular Governor, the Unwilling Sister

"Mr. Zhou's acting skills are really amazing."

"His eyes are so affectionate."

"I dare say that this scene of meeting in the rain will definitely become a classic scene."

The crew members around him kept flattering me.

Song Qian admired and respected her in her heart, but at the same time she was a little envious of Zhang Ruolan.

In the scene just now, Zhou Yutang taught Zhang Ruolan step by step and took her with him throughout the whole scene, allowing this newcomer to display acting skills beyond her level.

The shooting finally ended in the evening.

However, something unexpected happened.

Because this scene involved a lot of extras, and quite a few of them were students from local universities.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

The news spread quickly among their respective small groups, and soon many of Governor Zhou's sisters who had rushed to see him after school gathered at the filming site.

Those who arrived first did not interfere with the filming, but just watched quietly from the side.

After the crew finished work, the girls finally couldn't contain their excitement.

"Zhou Yutang is so handsome!"

A brave girl took the lead in charging, and the other female fans followed suit and rushed forward, surrounding Zhou Yutang.

Originally, the schoolgirls were charging for Commander Zhou, but passers-by were just watching the fun, and only heard that Zhou Yutang was filming, so more and more people joined the group and joined the battlefield.

Song Qian was startled.

Stunned on the spot.

She has been in the industry for many years and has rich experience in stage performances. She wanted to take Zhou Yutang away first.

Unfortunately, the terrain is an alley.

There are people on both sides and there is no way out.

Zhou Yutang remained calm and protected her behind him.

When the incident happened, Zhang Ruolan was wiping her hair with the towel handed to her by her assistant Sister Hong, and she saw a scene that amazed her.

Of course she knew that these people were not coming for her.

After Jiang Dong’s official announcement, her Weibo followers gained more than 200,000 in less than half a month.

but.

She has no representative film or television works and is still a new star.

There were several sisters who often surfed the Internet, and probably had seen Zhang Ruolan's photos, so they looked at her with curiosity.

After confirming with her eyes, she was indeed the new Pisces girl, and blurted out,
"Zhang Ruolan!"

"Wow, so pure!"

"Boss, you have good vision."

Zhang Ruolan smiled back, but even though everyone called her beautiful, her body still remained obedient as she followed the crowd towards Zhou Yutang.

After all, catching a wild Grand Commander offline may be the only chance in your life. If you can say something about it, you can brag about it to your friends for a year.

It was like zombies coming out of a cage, with three layers of enemies inside and three layers outside surrounding Zhou Yutang.

The crowd was surging, and the scene was spectacular, accompanied by the cries of female fans who were so happy that they were about to faint.

Zhou Yutang finally got out and returned to the car. Jiang Xueruo had already received the news and called to apologize immediately.

She is the head of the production department and is directly responsible to director Lin Yufen and big boss Zhou Yutang.

After formulating the specific shooting schedule for the crew, she had other things to do and only left the crew yesterday.

Currently, the crew is being supervised by external producers and on-site producers from Jiang Xueruo's production team.

The external producer is responsible for tasks such as contacting shooting locations.

The on-site producer is like a nanny on the scene.

For example, the situation got out of control on the spot because the on-site production work was not in place and the love and enthusiasm of the female fans for Zhou Yutang were underestimated.

However, Zhou Yutang is now always accompanied by two strong and sturdy bodyguards who are responsible for his security.

Nothing unexpected happened, so Zhou Yutang didn't blame him too much.

This incident became a hot topic on the same day, and even some of his girlfriends sent him messages.

"Nothing happened, right?"

Liu Shishi, who was in Taiwan Province, had just hung up the phone with Liu Yifei and asked with concern.

“The local fans are a bit enthusiastic, so it’s not a big problem.”

"It seems like there are more than just local fans. I saw quite a few female fans from South Korea coming here."

When Liu Shishi first heard the news, she was worried at first, but now as she is reading the news, she feels a little proud.

Everyone says Lu Han is the top star of the new generation, but in fact Zhou Yutang is the top star of the first generation.

He became extremely popular when he debuted, and his fans even spontaneously set up a fan site in South Korea.

News about Zhou Yutang in the domestic entertainment industry would occasionally make headlines in South Korea.

Every time Zhou Yutang attends an event, there will be quite a number of fans organizing support.

However, the composition of his fans is much more rational than that of the new generation of traffic.

After all, those who have weak tolerance have already run away heartbroken by Governor Zhou’s romantic affairs.

The majority of fans who have been screened are basically career fans and drama fans, as well as some people who just like to watch spectators.

Zhou Yutang has been extremely popular since his debut without any downturn. The fans who have followed him all the way have also entered society and have a certain consumption capacity of their own.

When the news that the crew was filming in Qingdao spread, some Korean girls got wind of it.

The main reason is that South Korea is very close to Qingdao, and a direct flight from Incheon to Qingdao only takes an hour and a half.

There are even many South Koreans living in Qingdao.

After doing skin care and chatting on the phone with Zhou Yutang for a while, Liu Shishi went to bed early after saying good night to each other.

Tomorrow is the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, and there will be a red carpet ceremony in the evening as usual. But for female stars, it is a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

Female celebrities prepare haute couture dresses for the red carpet more than half a month in advance.

On that day, I had to get up early in the morning to do skin care and makeup. In order to ensure that I was in the best condition, I basically didn't eat.

Otherwise, you will be caught in dark photos by the media from all angles, and become the background for others.

On the crew's side, filming is still proceeding in an orderly manner, and there will be another big night scene in the evening.

While helping Zhang Ruolan rehearse her lines, Zhou Yutang was somewhat surprised to receive a call from Han Sanping: "Boss Han, what can I do for you?"

"I just finished dinner with the people from the Film Bureau. You were filming on the set, and it was quite lively. I saw that fans from abroad followed you and it was even on the news."

"I'm sorry to have made President Han laugh."

"Hehe, there is something I need to tell you first."

Han Sanping said succinctly: "It is like this. This year is the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army, and the higher-ups want to make the last part of the founding trilogy."

"The Founding of an Army?"

Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned, but reacted quickly.

The Founding of a Republic in 2011 gave a good start to the Founding of a Republic trilogy, which was followed by The Founding of a Party in . At that time, Han Sanping was the head of China Film Group, and both projects were managed by him.

With strong support from above, the average box office of each film is over 4 million yuan, which was quite remarkable in an era when Chinese cinema had not yet taken off.

"Well, I'm the chief planner this time, so don't tell anyone yet."

"."

Zhou Yutang organized his words, but before he could say anything to refuse, Han Sanping said slowly:
"I guess La Peikang will call you later. As for whether to do it or not, it's up to you to decide. Just make sure you can save face."

"The one who knows me best is President Han."

Zhou Yutang felt slightly happy and chatted with Lao Han for a while longer.

After Han Sanping retired, his life was very fulfilling.

He works with Tian Zhuangzhuang to win the Golden Screenwriter Award and continues to fight for the Chinese film industry, with his influence becoming increasingly profound.

Excellent scripts, including those from Hong Kong and Taiwan, are gradually pouring into the mainland.

The reason is also very simple.

When we become screenwriters, we want to burn ourselves for art. Who doesn’t want to become famous?
Now the opportunity is right in front of you.

The Golden Screenwriter Award, promoted by Governor Zhou, who has great influence in the domestic entertainment industry, is of great significance.

As long as you win the prize, you will immediately receive millions of bonuses from Jiangdong Fund.

In addition, scripts will be given priority to Jiangdong directors for selection.

Just like the Taiwanese screenwriter of "The Great Buddha", because the script was favored by Zhang Yimou, his value in the industry has increased a hundredfold, and many investors have come to him to ask for scripts.

Han Sanping would come to Jiangdong Building to drink tea from time to time.

With the idea of making the best use of things, Zhou Yutang allows retired elderly people to continue to shine.

By the way, he also used his own connections to help Zhou Yutang sort out and establish relationships for the audit.

Han Sanping is one of the producers of Zhang Yimou's film "The Great Buddha".

There were also some minor problems with the play at the Misty Theater, and it was Han Sanping who was in charge of the communication.

"Alibaba has been making a lot of noise lately, doing big data and trying to replace the screenwriting industry. It's really nonsense!"

Zuoshandiao drank a little wine at the dinner party in the evening and complained for a while.

Speaking of the daughter of the Han family, it was quite a headache. Zhou Yutang also heard from Nazha that this sister went to Los Angeles with Chen Xi to participate in the "Megalodon" project, and was thinking about another script herself.

The old man is still the wisest. Just after I coaxed the old man, the head of China Film Group called me. He didn't say much politely and got straight to the point.
"Yu Tang, your appeal in the Chinese film industry is second to none."

La Peikang's tone was filled with hope and the drive to do something big: "The Founding of an Army is a rare opportunity, are you interested in taking it over?
The film market is so hot right now, this project has great potential, and it can definitely go higher, at least double the box office of the previous film."

Hearing him say that the box office must be twice that of the previous work, Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed, and politely declined: "Boss La, to be honest, in addition to following up on "The Meg", I also have several other projects in cooperation with Warner, and my main energy will be focused on those."

Having said that, La Peikang’s emotional intelligence is definitely not a problem.

Knowing what Zhou Yutang meant, he didn't say any more and just asked a few questions about the filming situation of the crew.

Zhou Yutang sent a message to Han Sanping and reviewed his own statement, feeling that there was nothing wrong with it.

It will definitely be beneficial for celebrity artists to participate in such major mainstream projects.

This represents the endorsement and recognition of the official attitude.

Just like when Han Sanping was directing the first "Founding of a Republic", a certain influential Hong Kong director wanted to get on the stage but couldn't.

But Zhou Yutang's current status is different from those stars who want to get official endorsement by appearing in mainstream dramas. He is a general personally appointed by the top leader and the flag bearer of the export of Chinese culture.

Zhou Yutang does not need to rely on running such projects to obtain more resources.

What's more, this kind of mainstream theme movie is quite troublesome to make. It is necessary to coordinate the schedules of various stars, which conflicts with his own schedule.

The less trouble, the better.

In the first half of next year, the company may have a new S+ level drama ready to go.

According to Zhou Yutang and Joaquin Phoenix's schedule, "Joker", which has been prepared for a long time, has almost entered the final preparation stage and is expected to start shooting next year.

In addition, "The Meg" is different from the previous speculative low-budget films, so Zhou Yutang can be a hands-off boss. This is the first Hollywood A-level production that Jiang Dong is in charge of.

This is a critical step for companies to increase their influence.

No defeat allowed!
As the chief producer, he must always follow the progress of the project and have a clear idea of it.

To a certain extent, Zhou Yutang was not trying to fool Pei Kang, and the promises he made to Nazha were real. She will indeed have a lot of overseas schedules next year.

However, main theme movies can be made from a different angle.

Zhou Yutang leaned back on the sofa in the hotel, tapping rhythmically on the tablet with his index finger.

Suddenly thought of something.

I wonder how Wu Jing’s training in the army is going?

In November, the champion throne of the film market was firmly held by "007". The box office of "The Master" struggled to reach 2.02 million yuan and then it could not move forward at all.

However, the domineering Eight Cutting Swords also took away Big Cousin's "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 3", the latter of which had a total box office of only 1.43 million yuan, and the number of screenings dropped to single digits.

Next was the official announcement from Hollywood hunk Matt Damon that he had finished filming "The Great Wall". He and the main creators of "The Martian" held a movie premiere in Beijing.

The first-day box office of 5239 million strongly suppressed the Taiwanese hit "My Girlhood", and with a single move, it defeated "A Spoon", which made a big splash at last year's Golden Horse Awards.

This movie was directed and starred by Chen Jianbin himself, with his wife Jiang Qingqing also starring in it. The release of the movie was postponed several times.

Because one of the leading actors, Wang Xuebing, had an accident, the film had to be re-edited, and his scenes were mostly cut, so the whole movie became fragmented and the box office on the first day only grossed 440 million.

The movies released during the Lunar New Year holiday have all started to be promoted extensively.

Huayi has a lot of cards to play this time.

In addition to Xiao Gangpao, one of the three major directors, there is also a pair of top traffic stars, Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng.

These two are currently at the peak of their popularity, and their attention is even higher than Deng Chao's "Bad Angels".

It is only slightly inferior to Zhou Yutang's "Detective Chinatown" directed at the same time.

The trailer for "Detective Chinatown" was also released.

Wang Baoqi's greasy and funny appearance with gold teeth formed a sharp contrast with the handsome Lu Han.

Zhou Yutang announced that he would launch a new series of magic thief crime universe comedy, which also made many viewers look forward to it.

Since his debut, Governor Zhou’s film and television works have never disappointed the audience.

Audiences who know how to live have already pre-purchased movie tickets on the Maoyan APP.

A movie ticket that usually costs thirty or fifty yuan now only costs 19.9 yuan. Everyone is having a great time fleecing the capitalists.

Zhou Yutang laid out Maoyan in advance, seized the initiative, and cultivated customers' ticket-buying habits. In terms of market share, it has been steadily suppressing Alibaba's Taopiaopiao.

This year's Golden Horse Awards finally came to a close at the end of the month.

The most attractive thing is not the coquettish behavior of the award ceremony host, Sister Zhiling.

It was not Liu Shishi who was wearing an ES autumn haute couture black and white long dress. As always, she was not too sexy, but full of dignity and elegance.

It was not Deng Chao blowing kisses to fans on the red carpet, causing fans to shout "we are Famu Lei" in unison.
Award ceremony.

Ultimately, the highlight is who wins the award.

That night was a night scene, and the crew was filming the classic scene in the cinema.

Zhou Yutang and Zhang Ruolan went to the cinema to watch a movie, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin: The Lost Tomb" directed by Zhou Yutang.

This is a more interesting plot in the play.

Before going to the movies.

Kim Shin calmly reminded Ji Eun-tak in advance that if he was afraid, he should just say it and not scream, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

But after the movie started, it was Kim Shin who was so scared that he screamed and scattered the popcorn in his hand all over the guy in the front row.

The originally perfect dating atmosphere was completely destroyed.

The filming location was Jiangdong Jiahe Cinema in Qingdao, and the evening was a midnight snack party for the cinema manager.

Zhang Ruolan sat next to Zhou Yutang, and with a sweet scent, she whispered into Zhou Yutang's ear, "Boss, Feng Xiaogang won the Best Actor award!"

"what?"

Zhou Yutang was surprised to hear the news.

“I didn’t expect it to be Director Feng.”

"Mr. Zhou, it's a pity."

"If I were to choose, I would definitely choose Mr. Zhou. He played Chen Guilin very well."

"Strange, the movie Little Cannon hasn't even been released yet, how come he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor?"

The crew was discussing this matter while eating supper and reading the news.

They were eating the Grand Commander's meal, and everyone had the same stance.

At this year's Golden Horse Awards, Zhou Yutang was also nominated for Best Actor for his role in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

But it is not very realistic to win the Best Actor Award consecutively. The Golden Horse Executive Committee will definitely not allow such an awesome person to exist in the mainland.

What's more, Zhou Yutang did not attend this year's Golden Horse Awards.

According to previous industry analysis, this year's Golden Horse Award for Best Actor will most likely be decided between Deng Chao and Guo Fucheng.

The former's performance in "The Sun Also Rises" won numerous praises, and Aaron Kwok's "Port of Call" was also quite a hit.

As for the other nominee, Li Hongqi, all we can say is that it is the power of the household registration.

The Taiwan film and television industry is trying hard to promote newcomers, but the game of award ceremonies also has rules.

In terms of strength and qualifications, he is obviously not good enough. This wave of nominations is pushed by the agency behind the scenes to gild him.

After the cocktail party that night, Liu Shishi returned to the hotel and called Zhou Yutang.

Whoever was wearing the same clothes on the red carpet was outshined.

At the cocktail party, Wang Dalu, a young actor who became famous overnight, did not give Chai Zhiping any face at all, causing the latter to be embarrassed and look very unhappy.

"Brother Chao said he didn't care, but he was actually quite disappointed."

"That can't be helped. Chen Guofu has a good relationship with Little Cannon."

Zhou Yutang joked: "How was it, were you disappointed that you didn't win the award?"

"I'm actually fine. I was prepared."

Liu Shishi will also be running tonight.

It’s mainly a competition for Best Actress, and there is no weak contender.

Lin Jiaxin's "A Hundred Days' Goodbye", Zhang Aijia's "Office", the big-mouthed beauty's "The Assassin", and Zhao Tao's "Mountains May Depart".

In the end, Karena Lam won the Golden Horse Award.

She is a Chinese-Canadian actress who made her debut in Taiwan, so she can naturally be considered a local artist in Taiwan.

The Golden Horse Awards have to strike a balance. The Best Actor award was given to a young talent, so naturally they have to choose one of their own for Best Actress.

Even the big-mouthed beauty was eliminated, but "The Assassin" won an award at Cannes.

However, what is lost in one's home may be gained in another.

Hou Xiaoxian won the Best Director Award.

The Jiangdong group did not return empty-handed either. "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" lost all six awards, but finally won the Best Action Design Award.

However, Cao Baoping made a big splash this year, winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Feature Film for "The Piano Tuner".

Liu Shishi was so eager to share at night that she seemed to have endless things to say.

He hung up the call reluctantly until his phone ran out of battery.

I lay on the soft bed, but couldn't fall asleep. I stared at the ceiling and somehow, tears started to flow out.

She also knew that her opponent was strong.

Several of the nominees have more seniority than himself.

But I just can't accept it.

"The Piano Tuner" is a script tailor-made for her by Zhou Yutang.

No one knew Zhou Yutang's painstaking efforts better than her.

Several plans were made at that time.

We decided on "The Piano Tuner" and made several versions of the script.

There were some things that Zhou Yutang just did silently behind her back and never told her.

But she is not a fool.

Both Mao Xiaoyu and Chen Xi had a very good relationship with Ni Ni. During their frequent chats, they could quickly organize what Zhou Yutang had done for them from a few words of information.

Nothing is ever smooth sailing.

It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you.

Therefore, Liu Shishi cherishes this opportunity very much.

And I put all my efforts into it.

But in the end, isn’t that enough?
This made Liu Shishi feel frustrated.

She suddenly wanted to go back very much, to be with Zhou Yutang.

Just a hug is enough comfort.

"It's nerve-wracking."

Although Liu Shishi pretended to be open-minded and tried hard to pretend that she didn't care, Zhou Yutang could still feel it.

She felt a faint sense of resentment and loss in her heart.

From the details in Taozi's report, it can be seen that Aquaman's intuition is very accurate.

I opened the window and the moonlight tonight seemed particularly bright and cool.
