Chapter 689: Feeling at ease, Mr. Jing sighed

Cao Baoping pays attention to slow work and meticulous work when filming.

"The Murderer", which started shooting in June, was not ready to be completed until November.

I heard that the actors were tortured quite a lot.

The final stage of the film was produced by Vision Media.

Zhou Yutang took a look.

The texture is very good.

Have lunch with Lao Cao in the company canteen at noon.

As for the ordinary beef noodles, when he lifted the chopsticks, Zhou Yutang thought of Zhang Yi.

In this drama, the five-star killer played by Zhang Yi absolutely subverts the audience's understanding of him.

Especially the scene of eating noodles is a classic.

"How to arrange this year's Golden Horse Awards?"

Cao Baoping took a sip of haggis noodle soup with a satisfied expression on his face.

This is what the men from Datong, Shanxi Province are good at.

There is a chef in the canteen of Jiangdong Company who is good at making pasta.

"I'm very busy this month. I'm going to Xiangjiang soon and Director Zhang won't go."

Zhou Yutang picked some spicy food in the bowl and said with a smile: " When the time comes, Mr. Cao, please make a trip."

His schedule is very tight.

There is a big move in Jingdong, and a meeting is going on.

I have to fly to Xiangjiang soon.

Previously, Zhou Yutang promised Boss Yang to make a guest appearance in "Cold War 2". Zhou Yutang has never regretted what he promised.

It only takes a few shots and can be completed in one day. The main purpose is to prepare for "The Lonely and Brilliant God".

“There’s not much hope if I go.”

Cao Baoping licked his noodles and ate a clove of garlic.

The Jiangdong group is still very loud at the Golden Horse Awards.

Lao Mouzi's "Zhou Chu Abates Three Evils" won the best director, best actor, best action design, best original screenplay, best photography, best art design, and the best Seven nominations for Best Design.

However, he is in Tyrande at the moment and will definitely not attend.

Deng Chao also received a Best Actor nomination for "Scorching the Sun", and Liu Shishi received a Best Actress nomination for "The Tuner".

When the nominations were announced, some media in the industry joked about it.

Jiangdong Entertainment has taken over half of this year’s Golden Horse Awards.

The executive committee sent an invitation to Zhou Yutang in advance.

Sylvia Chang, the chairman of the Golden Horse Executive Committee, is an acquaintance who is not too familiar with her.

But this year, it is Chen Guofu’s turn to be the chairman of the jury, but he is an old acquaintance of Zhou Yutang.

He went to Jiangdong Building twice and almost achieved the feat of visiting Jiangdong three times to invite Zhou Lang.

But Zhou Yutang’s schedule conflicted with the Golden Horse, so he had no choice but to give up.

When he first debuted, Zhou Yutang needed the Golden Horse Award to promote him.

But that moment, this moment.

Now Zhou Yutang has already soared in the entertainment industry.

If he were to attend, he would actually be a fan of the Golden Horse Awards.

The Demon Thief Group is a great success, and the seminar is inevitable.

Zhou Yutang received a personal call from the Children’s Bureau at the beginning of last month.

With the active development of the film industry, how can it be possible without leaders to grasp the overall situation?

Only by summarizing experience and passing on spiritual ideas.

In order to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of the entire industry...

Guo Fan was a little nervous as it was his first time to participate.

Big bosses who often appear in official news attended the meeting.

People from the Film Bureau and Long Xuan also came.

Even Pei Kang, the head of China Film Group, is relatively far back.

There are also big directors in the industry, CEOs of film and television companies, gold medal producers, experts from all walks of life, etc.

In a word, the standards are very high.

"It's been several hours, don't drink too much water."

Zhou Yutang, who is the chief creator, gave Guo Fan a kind reminder.

The meeting process will probably last several hours.

The leaders took turns to speak, the creators talked about their experiences, and then scholars and experts from all walks of life asked questions and summed up, and the media reporters took photos...

Bald Xu has suffered losses before.

That year, "囧囧" became a phenomenon. He attended the seminar dressed up and poured water at the beginning, preparing to express himself well in front of the leaders.

As a result, halfway through, the expression on the face changes, and the legs are tightened for fear of leaking.

When it was over, my bladder almost exploded.

Every year at the seminar, Zhou Yutang is indispensable, and he behaves quite calmly.

After the seminar, Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little impressed.

He remembered a popular meme on the Internet.

Even if Zhou Yutang is not in the entertainment industry and is driving screws, he can still be the leader of a factory.

He felt that Zhou Yutang, wearing a pair of black-framed plain glasses, had the elegant demeanor of a veteran cadre.

Except for being a bit too young and handsome, even among those big guys, it doesn’t feel too out of place.

Those who can attend such an occasion are all celebrities in the industry.

After the meeting.

There are also people who go around to try to make friends, talk about things, and even occasionally ask for autographs.

Zhou Yutang dealt with it with ease, and was dragged to have tea by Chief Jia as soon as he came out.

With the bustling National Day release, the film market in November is a bit deserted.

Domestic movies such as "My Virgin Land" and "The Rainy Night" are mostly small fish and shrimps, not worth mentioning.

The one that can be considered a big fish is Director Jia’s "Old Friend in Mountains and Rivers".

However, after the movie was released, the box office can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

After four days of release, the box office has exceeded 20 million. It has only been released for four days. Because the film schedule is too low, it will be canceled soon.

With a quick glance, Zhou Yutang saw the disappointment in Chief Jia's expression.

If it was before "Destined", he would definitely not be so lost.

After all, he makes realistic-themed literary films, which have a high threshold for ordinary audiences to watch.

Everyone’s life is hard enough.

When I go to the cinema to watch a movie, I just want to relax. Naturally, I am not willing to watch such a reality-heavy movie.

But at that time, Zhou Yutang helped mediate and open up the relationship, and "Destined" was successfully released in the Chinese Film Market. It attracted a lot of traffic with the gimmick of almost being banned.

Coupled with the online quality of the movie and the hot spot effect created by marketing, word-of-mouth and box office both took off, with a revenue of 19.3 billion.

The producer went to the living room and knelt down, truly witnessing Governor Zhou’s ability to turn decay into magic.

It also created the peak box office record of Director Jia Ke’s career.

Chief Jia, who has gained both fame and fortune, has been held in a very high position by some movie fans.

Something changed in his mentality.

For "Old Friends in Mountains and Rivers", there will be psychological hints and expectations of "at least one step further than "Destined".

Especially now that the Chinese film market is taking off, with Lu Yang, Wen Muye, Guo Fan and other new stars emerging.

With a box office performance of several hundred million, I would be too embarrassed to hand it over.

One billion, 1.5 billion, 2 billion

Xiao Gang Pao and other big directors are gearing up, but Lao Jia is calm on the surface, but he can't help but have thoughts.

Just waiting for the box office to come out, Chief Jia woke up on the spot.

However, after Zhou Yutang gave him a few words of comfort, he quickly adjusted himself and talked about another thing: "President Zhou, I am going to take the lead in setting up an international film festival."

"International Film Festival?" Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned.

“Yes, our Chinese films should be more diversified and have more innovative film types, so that the entire film industry will get better and better.”

Chief Jia said with a gesture , talking endlessly, with light in his eyes.

"This"

After hearing what he said, Zhou Yutang sighed: "I'm afraid it's not that easy."

China originally only had the Magic City Film Festival and Changchun Film There are three international film festivals, including the Beijing International Film Festival and the Beijing International Film Festival. This year, the Silk Road Film Festival was newly established.

Zhou Yutang felt that he did not have the energy to handle this matter.

With his identity and status, he is only suitable to operate behind the scenes, not in front of the stage.

But he still admired Section Chief Jia’s idea.

At least it’s not just empty talk, it’s really doing something practical for China’s film industry.

With Chief Jia’s connections, maybe he can get it done...

Last month’s film school anniversary coincided with the 110th anniversary of Chinese film, which is also considered a circle. Great event inside.

Zhou YuWhile Tang was working on the film's post-production period, he also took time to attend the Nortel School Anniversary with Liu Tianxian.

But Poet Chen was not even present at that grand gathering.

This is not scientific.

Zhou Yutang guessed that he was in retreat, and that it was a death barrier that could not be broken or established.

Chen Hong had been invited several times before, and he was quite curious. Now that he had finished the post-production of the movie in hand, he took the time to visit the crew of "The Great Wall".

Most of the scenes of this drama were shot in Qingdao Oriental Movie Capital.

During this period, I happened to be filming exterior scenes at the Huairou Film and Television Base, which saved me a lot of trouble.

"We are so proud that Mr. Zhou can visit the set of "The Great Wall"."

Zhou Yutang sent the news in advance. As Poet Chen's royal steward of the set, Chen Hong He came out to greet me in person, which was a bit too polite.

I don’t know which temporary worker it is, but they also put up a sign at the scene, which says "Welcome Mr. Zhou to visit the "Great Wall" team, and invite everyone to drink milk tea~~"

Milk tea has also been arranged long ago. It doesn't make sense to come empty-handed when visiting someone else's production team.

I shook hands with Chen Hong and took photos for two excited media before entering the crew.

"Sister Hong, I have benefited a lot from being able to come and communicate and learn with Director Chen..."

Zhou Yutang's moderately thick lips revealed a bright smile just right.

With just one sentence, Diao Chan was made to smile.

Not entirely politely.

Objectively speaking, Poet Chen’s talent is not just about saying beautiful words.

His composition and use of colors are definitely at the top level among Chinese directors.

"Oh, let me take you to see it."

Chen Hong led Zhou Yutang inside with a bright smile: "Brother Kai should be in a meeting with people from Legend and Universal. It’s really difficult..."

As soon as the Governor appeared, the actors, extras and others in the crew immediately opened the passage for him to pass and watched with respectful eyes.

Hearing from Chen Hong that there were guests on the set, Zhou Yutang looked up and saw that it was Wang Jing from Xiangjiang.

This fat man also wants to make progress?

"Mr. Zhou?!"

"Director Wang is here too?"

"Hey, come over and learn Director Chen's shooting techniques."

This fat man is as greasy as ever.

It seems that he is even fatter than the last time we met.

He was still accompanied by the long-legged beauty in the autumn mood, smiling and saying hello respectfully:

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Yes. , Hello."

Zhou Yutang nodded lightly: "Let's go in and take a look."

Princess Tian has been in the group for more than half a year. , there has been no draft from her for a long time.

At this moment, he is wearing silver and copper armor, and he is very heroic.Zhou Yutang looked at him, his apricot eyes widened with surprise: "Brother Yutang, why are you here?"

"Come and see you."

Zhou Yutang The smile on the corner of the mouth was gentle: "How do you feel?"

"I don't know how to put it, but it's quite fulfilling."

Da Tiantian showed a sweet smile: "Listen to Chen The director said that it seems to be finished soon. "

"Mud Howl, Zhou."

Matt Damon spoke broken Chinese.

This popular Hollywood star looks a bit slovenly and like a savage.

This is also because of his character in the play, a mercenary who comes to China to look for black powder

"You speak Chinese well."

Zhou Yutang They hugged each other cordially: "I heard that Cassie's "Manchester by the Sea" has been completed?"

At the cocktail party in Hollywood, he talked to Matt Damon. The Affleck brothers have dealt with each other several times.

“Wow.”

Matt Damon exclaimed and smiled heartily: “If Cassie knew that Mr. Miracle from the East paid attention to him, he would be flattered.”

We are also evaluating suitable investment projects.

Like "Dallas Buyers Club", it is a classic case of picking up the slack.

Unfortunately, when I watched "Manchester by the Sea" later, I was told that no additional investment was required.

The investment cost of the entire film is only US$8.5 million. Matt Damon himself is the producer, and there are several producers, so there is no financial pressure at all.

Fat Wang followed beside him and said nothing.

On the other hand, the long-legged beauty next to him looked at Zhou Yutang with bright eyes.

She felt that this popular Hollywood star had a deliberately close attitude towards Zhou Yutang.

Without much chat, Zhou Yutang followed Chen Hong around, and people from the Hollywood team could be seen everywhere.

“This is an Oscar-winning design team. In order to perfect the image of Taotie, a total of 746 versions have been designed and produced.”

“There is also arri’s latest camera Alexa65, which can The moving image was shot to 65k, this is photographer Stuart Drip of the American Photographers Association."

Chen Hong proudly introduced it to Zhou Yutang.

Except for Director Chen Shi, the pre-production, post-production and visual effects departments are all professional Hollywood production teams.

It can be said that "The Great Wall" was basically produced under the Hollywood standardized industrial system.

Poet Chen finished the meeting and watched the previously shot scenes of "The Great Wall" together.

Well, the picture is beautiful, and the rest is hard to describe.

"After this drama is over, we will start "Shamon Kukai: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty".I worked on location work in Xiangyangguang for five years before I could truly master the drama."

Zhou Yutang felt that Poet Chen's hair had turned a lot grayer, as if he had aged ten years. .

It’s definitely not because Diao Chan sucked all his energy away, it’s probably because of the hard work he put into making this movie.

This has something to do with it. No matter how tough you are, you can’t be tougher than Capital’s Dad?

“You came out of acting, and you also played an ancient sword? "

"Yeah, but I don't quite live up to my expectations. I played the role of a stone demon. Maybe you don't even remember it. "

Qiu Yi Nian didn't feel embarrassed, and laughed openly.

"I have an impression that this is how I came here. With Director Wang praising you, you will definitely become famous. It’s no problem...

By the way, what kind of cosmetics do you use, how do you take care of these legs, your skin is so good..."

Ni Ni is quite good at comforting people, no. After a while, they gathered together to chat.

Zhou Yutang glanced at her casually.

Her face was a little bit technological, but her natural legs were so eye-catching that they were even more eye-catching than Ni Ni. Not necessarily inferior.

Fatty Wang has always been good at playing.

The red flags are not down at home, but the colorful flags are flying outside.

He has seen people riding cars. It's rare to catch a plane.

It was fate that we met him. When we came out, he had a meal with Fatty Wang.

He heard that Zhou Yutang had a trip to Xiangjiang. I dared to follow him.

However, it would not be boring to have someone to chat with during the three-hour flight.

Fatty Wang graduated from the Chinese Department of Xiangjiang University and is also a screenwriter. He has been in the film and television industry for decades, and his eloquence is also very good.

During this period, he naturally talked about what he saw on the set of "The Great Wall".

The stewardess opened a bottle of red wine. He asked with a smile:

"I feel that Director Chen's face is not very good-looking. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?" "

"What do you think? "

"Haha. "

Probably because they were having a good time chatting, Fatty Wang let himself go a little bit,

"Director Chen's shooting techniques and camera images are of course impeccable, but the plot has big problems, and... There is a foreigner providing advice and guidance, I don’t know how he will end it."

Zhou Yutang just raised his glass and took a sip of wine.

Smiled faintly.

But he was Ni Ni and Qiu Yinong looked sideways.

In fact, as a director, you can get a rough idea of ​​the quality of a movie when it is halfway through the project.

It stands to reason. , the producer of this film has rumored that it will be completed in September.

But at present, Poet Chen is still reshooting some parts, and the production team of Legendary and Universal Airborne is responsible for the film. Some of the results were unsatisfactory.

With these two teams following the whole process, Poet Chen was quite constrained in his work, so foreigners would not play that trick with him.

"KingDirector, I heard that "Haojiang Fengyun 3" is on the Spring Festival schedule? "

"It happened to coincide with Mr. Zhou's "Mermaid". "

Fat Wang shook his head with a pained expression on his face: "Wow, the biweekly combination is too scary. I hope it won't be too ugly by then, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the bosses. "

Zhou Yutang also found it funny: "I don't have many roles, just guest appearances. ”

“It’s the same thing if it’s not much. Who doesn’t know that having Mr. Zhou’s name on it is equal to one billion box office. Every time Zhou Xingxing goes out for interviews now, he always mentions Mr. Zhou, wishing he could make Mr. Zhou the protagonist..."

As Zhou Yutang listened to Fatty Wang chattering, he remembered old things in Hong Kong.

When Zhou Xingxing was still working in Yongsheng, he collaborated with Fatty Wang, and the two were even good friends.

Later, when filming "The King of Kings 2000", Fatty Wang invited Zhou. Xingxing was assigned to play the role of Zhazhahui in six days, but it ended up being shot in nine days.

After the film was completed, Zhou Xingxing was edited into the male lead. /p>

When promoting the movie, Fatty Wang also placed Zhou Xingxing, who only appeared for 15 minutes, in the C position of the poster.

No one else knows what happened during this period.

But there were rumors that Zhou Xingxing felt that Fatty Wang had tricked him into carrying the sedan chair for Zha Zhahui, who was not well-known at the time.

At this point, the two fell out.

"Director Wang has been living in the capital recently? ”

“Yeah, I’m used to living there. I only go back to Xiangjiang in a few months. This time, I’m borrowing Mr. Zhou’s help to go back and see my dad.” "

Fatty Wang lives in the capital most of the time.

In order to get closer to the mainland audience, he has privately studied all the best-selling movies in the mainland in the past ten years.< /p>

He often goes to Jiangdong Entertainment for free.

He has become familiar with Wen Muye, Lu Yang, Guo Fan and others.

The sun is setting in Hong Kong, and many great directors in Hong Kong have fallen into disrepute, but Fatty Wang is one of the few Hong Kong directors who can make money.

He has made two films in a row, "The Storm", although the reputation is not good. Wow, the box office data is quite good, and it has really made a lot of money for the producer.

Otherwise, I would not have released "The Wind and Cloud 3" for this year's Spring Festival.

Fatty Wang can start from a humble beginning and become the top commercial film director in Hong Kong. However, every project he handles rarely causes investors to lose money.

But unfortunately. He makes commercial films himself and privately invests in many literary and artistic films.

This is what Zhou Yutang admires about Fatty Wang

This is also why he can take this trip. The reason is the plane.
