Chapter 465 The power of the great director
"You can laugh if you want. It's hard for me to bear it when I see you on stage."
After the meeting, I went to the office with Han Sanping and Tong Ju to have tea. Tong Ju patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder.
"Tong Ju, were I laughing just now?"
"Um."
Han Sanping and Tong Ju nodded together.
"Haha, thank you Tong Bureau for the big New Year red envelope."
"Don't worry, we still need to follow the process to implement it."
"."
The smile on Zhou Yutang's face disappeared instantly.
I can only say that everyone who understands the procedures in the system understands them.
Even the Tong Bureau did not hesitate in this art of changing faces. He pointed his finger and chuckled: "It will be implemented by the year at the latest. How are the preparations for "In the Name of the People" going?"
"We're still casting, and Mr. Han is watching."
"Yu Tang, you need to enjoy this drama."
Tong Ju put down the thermos cup in his hand and pointed at it with a solemn look on his face: "It must be done beautifully."
We sat and chatted for a while about the casting of "In the Name of the People" and the schedule of "Now You See Me".
In the past few days, auditions for "In the Name of the People" are in full swing. Several important roles have been confirmed one after another, but the male lead is still undecided.
That's like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers.
The main reason is that the endorsement unit of this drama is really amazing, and Zhou Yutang's name is written in the column of project producer and screenwriter.
This makes this drama with a mission color even more attractive to the famous actors and actresses in the industry.
The Governor of Jiangdong is not only a popular star, but also an actor.
Jiangdong Entertainment's Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun both took off. This year, Jiangdong niche Li Xian became one of the popular niche actors at an exaggerated speed with just "Wei Sheng" written by Zhou Yutang.
"Yu Tang, if it weren't for the fact that the schedule couldn't be coordinated, I would definitely give "In the Name of the People" a try."
Huang Xiaoming's role in "Partners" has been completed, and he will join Bona's "The White-Haired Witch: Moon in Heaven". However, there was an accident during the filming process, and he fell from a three-meter-high wire. , comminuted fracture of toe.
Zhou Yutang went to Jishuitan Hospital in person to visit and saw that the ward was full of fruit baskets. The man was wearing a hospital gown and had a plaster on his feet. The TV in the ward was playing a replay of "Wei Sheng".
"Auntie, you're welcome. This is just a little care. I hope Brother Xiao Ming can recover quickly."
Of course Zhou Yutang didn't come here empty-handed. He bought some nutritional supplements from the store outside the hospital. Aunt Huang gave in and Huang Xiaoming nodded before accepting.
"Yu Tang, do you think I have a chance in that role?"
Huang Xiaoming's smile made Zhou Yutang a little bit dumbfounded, "Brother Xiaoming, you are a movie star now. If you are injured, take a good rest. Your health is important, don't worry about it."
"TV series and movies are not the same. The book you made is absolutely classic."
Huang Xiaoming's emotional intelligence is not in vain. Talking to him always makes people feel comfortable, even Zhou Yutang who is used to hearing rainbow farts.
"Thanks."
Qin Lan, who was sitting next to the hospital bed, looked like a good wife and mother. She peeled an apple for Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Yutang. Zhou Yutang took it and said thank you: "Thank you, Sister Lan."
When Qin Lan heard that Huang Xiaoming was injured, he immediately put down the notice in his hand and ran to the hospital bed, taking care of him every step of the way. He even made it to the entertainment news.
However, the fact that these two people are separated and reunited is not a big deal.
It seems that even Huang's mother approves of it.
Apart from Huang Xiaoming, another old acquaintance, Deng Chao, also asked for information in a roundabout way.
The virtuous wife of Brother Chao's family is very resourceful and takes the wife route. Recently, she has been listening to Liu Shishi's talk from time to time.
Zhou Yutang chatted every day, and he didn't know what was going on. He politely rejected Deng Chao: ""In the Name of the People" will start shooting in February at the latest. Brother Chao, you are so busy, so forget it."
"Haha, Yu Tang, take me with you if you have the opportunity in the future. I wish you a good harvest of golden horses."
After Running Man, Deng Chao's commercial value has reached its peak.
He has been making money like crazy all year round. After "Partners in China", he was seamlessly cast in "The Big Four 2", and then he had several film appointments, all of which were scheduled for the year after next.
Before going to the Golden Horse, Zhou Yutang also took the time to audition for "In the Name of the People".
Seeing Lu Yi's performance, he frowned slightly.
There is no doubt that Lu Yi is a handsome guy, and his acting skills are passable, but in front of such a group of veteran actors, his performance is almost boring.
For the big project "In the Name of the People", Han Sanping left the decision-making power in the hands of Zhou Yutang. He only looked at the suitability of the character, and no one else's relationship was easy to work with.
Even if Zhou Yutang was inserted into the cast to play Lu Yike's Zeng Li, it would be a grand slam after the TV series won three awards.
He also put forward strict requirements for her, gave the Tsing Yi beauty the name of a producer, and ruthlessly shortened Jiangdong's end-of-year Xianyu travel plan.
During this time, she was going to the Procuratorate to gain an in-depth understanding of the role-playing workflow. In addition, Hu Jing also auditioned for the role of Gao Xiaoqin based on her performance.
Also attend the pre-script workshop along with you.
"Chill" encountered no rivals in the film market in November, with a box office of 121 million in its first week, and continued to gross 92.65 million in the second week. The box office exceeded 200 million in two weeks, surpassing Huayi's "Tai Chi 2" with a box office of 66.49 million in two weeks.
Jiang Zhihao stole the show during this period, and Anle Pictures became famous.
If you want to snipe "Cold War", there is only another heavyweight movie released in late November, the pure IMAX3D blockbuster "Pi" by great director Li An.
This movie didn’t put much effort into promoting it in the mainland, but its reputation as the best director at the Oscars is well known. Even the New York Post and Time magazine have endorsed it, and the great Hollywood director Cameron also praised it. Naturally, it has Many movie fans are looking forward to it.
Mr. Wang of Huayi has given up on struggling and instead invested promotional resources in "1942" and "Zodiac".
The former is Feng Xiaogang, one of the three major directors, and the latter is Jackie Chan, who has become a legend in the film industry.
And at this time.
The promotional trailers for "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Now You See Me" have been overwhelming. Since "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and other major dramas produced by Jiangdong Entertainment, four domestic first-tier TV stations have prime time advertising rotations, and they are available in more than a dozen key cities across the country. Ground activities.
The TV series has not yet been launched, and even the copyright of the original author's new book "Jian Ye" by Mao Pang has increased significantly. However, the new book was only released last year and has already been acquired by Jiangdong Entertainment. Other film and television companies in the industry can only look forward to it.
This time when Zhou Yutang went to Xiangjiang, Boss Yang personally came forward to give Lu Tailang a hand.
Because this movie "The King's Feast" is also one of the 500 million major projects of Yinghuang Group.
But Zhou Yutang would definitely not sacrifice his own interests to satisfy Boss Yang. He came back and held several rounds of meetings, and finally released "Now You See Me" on December 12th.
Only about 10 days were left for "The King's Feast", which is considered decent.
The news that "Now Now" was released immediately caused an uproar in the industry.
Looking at Zhou Yutang's outstanding achievements, from the head-stomping Lu Chuan to fame in one battle, to Chen Kexing, Xu Ke
The sword will not kill the nameless general.
This is a bloody road surrounded by famous directors who have been famous for a long time.
The first of the new generation of commercial film directors has once again appeared on the big stage during the Lunar New Year festival. Who dares to test his talents?
"It's set for December 12th?"
The little steel cannon man is still in Rome and is also paying close attention to the news in the domestic film industry.
After learning that Zhou Yutang had set a schedule, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the only opponent in "1942" during the same period was Lu Chuan.
As one of the three major directors, Xiaogangpao has his own pride.
He was afraid of Zhou Yutang, but he didn't take the crying young man seriously.
…
"confirmed?"
Fatty Bonayu's face also changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Another hungry tiger has come in. The schedule of "The Magic City" will be slightly adjusted and put on the 22nd!"
"Okay, Mr. Yu."
…
The Lunar New Year period has always been a battleground for various film and television companies.
Zhou Yutang’s strong entry.
Triggered a series of chain reactions.
First of all, the person in charge of Sunglasses King's Great Man Film and Television took the lead in officially announcing: "Based on market opinions, "The Grandmaster", originally scheduled to be released on December 18, plans to adjust its schedule to January and will appear in the Lunar New Year finale. Please stay tuned. expect!"
The first major director took the lead to calmly leave the scene, and then Bona's Fatty Yu also announced: ""The City" has been postponed to December 22. We are not afraid of competition and adjust the schedule in order to be able to give other films and ourselves Leave more space for consideration.”
"Fatty Yu has such a tough mouth!"
"It's so funny, no one wants to touch Zhou Yutang."
"The Governor's record is too domineering. Anyone who dares to challenge him head-on is really a loser."
"The boss is awesome!"
""Now You See Me" and "Celebrating the New Year" are combined together, so I can finally have something good to eat in the New Year!"
…
The schedule of "Now You See Me" was confirmed, setting off a huge tsunami and quietly changing the entire Lunar New Year schedule.
Several movies originally scheduled for mid-December have been postponed, and the media jokingly called this year's Lunar New Year schedule the "doomsday schedule."
Fatty Yu would rather compete with Huang Xiaoming's "Blood Drops" and Jackie Chan's "Twelve Zodiac Signs" than run into Zhou Yutang's gun.
This period is a period of high publicity, with online marketing and promotion, offline advertising in bus stations, subway stations and other places, and billboards and trailers in theaters in full swing.
Each of the Four Horsemen of K Organization has an exclusive trailer.
Following Zhou Yutang, trailers for Deng Chao, Hu Ge, and Gulinazha were also released.
Three gorgeous magic tricks, stunning and dazzling, flashed by.
The bank of Tokyo was emptied of money in an instant, banknotes were flying in the sky, and the audio-visual experience was extremely stimulating to the senses, which has aroused the audience's expectations.
Zhou Yutang left the casting work of "In the Name of the People" to Han Sanping and began to participate in various variety show promotions.
The first stop was the sixth princess with whom we had a good relationship.
"Director Zhou, may I ask why you chose to release the movie?"
"The main thing is to expand the entire Lunar New Year slot. I think this is more beneficial to the audience, theaters and producers."
Zhou Yutang said eloquently: "This movie has great upgrades and innovations in terms of its story, scenes, special effects, etc. When everyone walks into the cinema and sees it, they will know that in terms of quality, it is not inferior to imported Hollywood blockbusters."
Speaking of Guli Nazha's almost being in danger, the host exclaimed: "Nazha, were you scared at that time?"
"scared."
Nazha also read the script: "Everyone has seen the trailer. When I was in the box, my chain got really stuck. I swam to the bottom of the box, but couldn't get up. I was really desperate at that time. "
"Because of that scene, I needed to show a panicked expression. At that time, everyone on the crew thought that my acting skills were outstanding, but in fact, I was really drowning, but no one noticed. Fortunately, the director saw that something was wrong and hurriedly asked someone to I was saved by turning on the prop switch."
"It's really not easy."
"."
The interview mainly talks about the thoughts and situations encountered during the filming of the film, and also includes some behind-the-scenes and revelations during the filming of the film.
Zhou Yutang is a veteran of the world, and he handles things appropriately.
Gulinazha, on the other hand, rarely came out to go on a trip with Zhou Yutang, and she was indescribably happy.
Those bright, expectant eyes always drifted toward him.
The affection contained in it is so full that it is about to overflow.
