Chapter 548: Soul Diva Meng Ziyi

The interview time for the art exam is from 8:30 in the morning to 12:00 noon.

Zhou Yutang is like a mascot, and there is not much room for him to perform.

At this moment, he is wondering whether he should have a meal with Teacher Yao at noon.

Seeing the girl he met in the morning make a brilliant appearance, he became interested.

She was not at all restrained, and smiled brightly at Zhou Yutang without any hesitation.

"Hello, teachers, my name is Meng Ziyi, and my exam number is XXXXXX."

Meng Ziyi's voice was loud and clear, and he introduced himself simply: "Height 170, from the 11th Middle School in Yongchun City, Jilin Province."

The expressions of the art exam examiners were all very flat.

This is not a name that has been arranged by an acquaintance, so let's follow the rules.

"Well."

Teacher Yao unscrewed the thermos cup and drank a sip of tea, nodded slightly, and said to continue: "Let's start."

This year, the Academy of Performing Arts cancelled the third test, retaining the first and second test stages, and the test content did not change much.

The first test includes the basic aspects of vocal music, lines, body shape, and performance.

This girl looked quite decent, and she recited a passage of prose she had prepared in advance with great emotion. In fact, her conditions were not outstanding, but they were acceptable.

Then she was asked to sing a song.

Teacher Yao was drinking water calmly, and when she heard Meng Ziyi transform into a soul singer, she spurted out the water on the spot.

Plop.

Zhou Yutang was struck by lightning, and the pen that was spinning flexibly in her hand fell on the table.

Several examiners on the scene were also a little stiff in expression.

Meng Ziyi didn't realize that she was out of tune, and continued to sing with great enthusiasm.

Everyone present was an old hand, what kind of candidates hadn't they seen?

I have seen people who sing badly, but it is rare for a song like Meng Ziyi to be out of tune from beginning to end.

The key is that her expression when she sang was particularly intoxicated and confident.

This is a bit funny.

After the interview in the morning, Zhou Yutang followed Teacher Yao to the school teachers' cafeteria to cook a small meal.

I haven't been to the school for a long time, and I think the taste is quite good.

During the banquet, several teachers chatted and talked about today's candidates.

Some outstanding candidates will be paid special attention by the art examination examiners in private. According to the young lady Yao, she saw Zhou Yutang in the crowd at first sight.

"Yutang."

Teacher Yao looked at Zhou Yutang and asked, "Did you see anything that caught my eye this morning?"

She is also proud of her beloved disciple, whose company is now so big.

I heard that Jiangdong's artist management business is in full swing, and teachers must strongly support it. Anyway, the fat water will not flow to outsiders.

"I think Meng Ziyi is okay."

"Ah?"

Teacher Yao's mouth twitched slightly: "Your taste is very unique."

Several teachers also remembered Meng Ziyi and started to discuss.

"That girl, her appearance is quite good."

"Looking at her style, she doesn't look like she is from an art school. Her perception and performance abilities are average or below average."

This morning, as soon as she started singing, it was like a death song.

The teachers who serve as examiners have all trained their eyes to be sharp and have a good way of judging people.

Meng Ziyi probably received art exam training, but that temporary sprint is different from the subtle training effect of art schools in the past few years.

On the whole, it is obvious that they are not optimistic about her.

"Teacher Yao."

Zhou Yutang put down his chopsticks and said slowly: "Although other conditions are not very advantageous, I feel that she is quite lively and cheerful."

"What you said seems to make sense."

Teacher Yao nodded and remembered the name in his mind: "If you say so, she is really a good candidate for this job."

To be a star, the most taboo is to be introverted, because this is a profession that requires communication with people.

After dinner, Zhou Yutang stood up, patted his butt and prepared to leave: "Teachers, I still have something to do. If there is a chance, please take care of me a little."

"No problem, these are all trivial matters."

At this point, several teachers knew what was going on.

Zhou Yutang took a fancy to this girl and probably wanted to sign her in advance.

This is also normal.

Now, there are a lot of media around the Beijing Film Academy's preliminary examination site, and various film and television companies in the circle have sent people here, with the purpose of digging out the next Liu Yifei and Guli Nazha on the spot.

The art exam is very complicated.

But except for the first place, there is a lot of room for maneuver, especially in the acting department.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yutang returned to the company to continue the post-production of the film and said hello to Zhou Shufang.

Meng Ziyi, after the interview in the morning, called her mother to report the situation, and then chatted with her girlfriends in a small group.

"Ziyi, how is it?"

"My idol is super super super handsome, laughing on the ground.jpg."

"Fuck, you are a big fan, asking you how the interview was?"

"I think it was OK."

Although Meng Ziyi was confident, she said truthfully: "But it is quite difficult. I don't know if I can be selected. I have prepared several other alternative schools."

"Come on, Ziyi, you are the best. Try to go to the same school with your idol in the future!"

"Hehe, anyway, I saw my idol. I tell you, he is more handsome in person than on TV." Meng Ziyi's eyes lit up when she talked about Zhou Yutang.

"My husband must be handsome."

"How can you be so shameless?"

"Ziyi, then why didn't you take a photo with him?"

"Hey, I was so excited that I took a photo."

Meng Ziyi remembered it at this time and felt that she had missed the opportunity. She stamped her feet in annoyance.

While walking and chatting with her bestie, she felt a little hungry, so she had a meal at Laobian Dumpling Restaurant near Beijing Film Academy.

Talking about the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" directed by Zhou Yutang, which reached 1.4 billion, and the promotion of the new movie "The Lost Tomb" a few days ago, she also talked about the scandal between Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi.

"At Weibo Night, Liu Shishi almost confessed her love on the spot. Zhou Yutang is too mature and steady."

"Haha, Yang Mi also said that she likes ambitious people. Isn't that Zhou Yutang?"

"What are you arguing about, little bitches, I think Liu Tianxian is the main wife."

Young girls are full of sunshine and vitality, and they always have endless topics to talk about.

Some of Meng Ziyi's besties are fans of Tianxian, some are iron-blooded little lions, and some are just eating melons and having fun. They are desperately fanning the flames. Seeing that they are about to fight, she received a call.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Is this Meng Ziyi? I'm Zhou Shufang, the manager of Jiangdong Entertainment's artist management department."

When Meng Ziyi heard this person speak, she subconsciously thought that the other party was a liar, but as smart as she was, she didn't get angry immediately.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"The company is very optimistic about your future development in the entertainment industry. Are you interested?"

"No interest."

Meng Ziyi sneered: "If you were the manager of Jiangdong's artist management department, I would still be your boss's girlfriend."

Without giving the other party room to speak, she hung up the phone neatly.

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years.

When I was looking for a training institution during the art exam, I was cheated of money. What kind of guaranteed pass and future, I will never be fooled this time.

"The dumplings are here."

"Thank you, boss."

Meng Ziyi was in a good mood and prepared to reward herself.

At noon, I ordered a sauerkraut and white meat dumpling with pot-baked meat.

While eating and happily watching videos, the phone rang again.

She then hung up, but the other party was still persistent. Meng Ziyi had no choice but to put down her chopsticks and picked up the phone and started to speak: "I say that these institutions of yours are really too unethical. They even cheat students' money. Are you asking me to pay some training contract fee again?"

The other party was not annoyed, but just smiled gently: "You don't have to pay any fees. Are you still near the school?"

"Yeah." Meng Ziyi vaguely felt that the other party didn't seem to be a liar at this time.

"If it's convenient, we can meet in the afternoon. I want to talk to you."

When she met the owner of the voice on the phone in a cafe near the school, the other party smiled and handed over a very textured business card.

Meng Ziyi's cheeks flushed, and she suddenly wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

The friend she specially called to support her was also stunned.

Is this still necessary to confirm?

Neat short hair, a Prada dress, and an aura of 1.8 meters.

They usually pay attention to entertainment gossip and have seen news reports about Zhou Shufang, who is known as the most prestigious gold medal agent in the circle after Wang Jinghua.

Guli Nazha and Dilireba, two popular post-90s young actresses, are brought up by Zhou Shufang.

"Sorry, Manager Zhou."

Meng Ziyi blushed and apologized: "I was cheated of money for art exam training, so I received a call from an unfamiliar number and was a little impulsive."

"Haha, I understand. There are many scammers now."

Zhou Shufang looked at Meng Ziyi and smiled: "I came here with sincerity."

"Manager Zhou, I don't know how my art exam will go."

"Don't worry about this."

Zhou Shufang smiled softly: "According to the internal information I got, it should be fine."

This cold-looking girl probably didn't know what it meant that Zhou Yutang had personally greeted her.

Some things in the world have results first and then processes.

However, in Zhou Shufang's opinion, Meng Ziyi's own conditions are also very good. She has a straight hair, fair skin, delicate features and a typical Northeast beauty.

Before coming here, I did a background check on the way. Meng Ziyi turned out to be a general high school student in the art exam. She usually has good grades and has won awards in the Mathematical Olympiad.

She will definitely pass the school exam here at Beijing Film Academy, and the college entrance examination results will not be a problem, so the next step will be easy.

Hearing Meng Ziyi say that she has also applied for several other schools as a backup, Zhou Shufang smiled softly and said, "You can try it. This is also a good experience, but don't worry, after signing the contract, the company will definitely arrange it, and you will have a role in the play in your sophomore year."

"Manager Zhou, can you ask me why you chose me?" Meng Ziyi was still a little curious.

"Our President Zhou is very optimistic about you. He called me after finishing his art exam today."

Zhou Shufang did not make empty promises or give me chicken soup. She said frankly: "I believe in President Zhou's vision. Those he likes become famous."

Such a simple sentence seems to have infinite magic, which easily makes people's hearts beat.

The female classmate who accompanied Meng Ziyi was already desperately winking at her, fearing that this silly girl would regret it if she agreed too late.

Even among the tens of thousands of people who came to Beijing Film Academy to take the art exam, I am afraid that no one can resist the lethality of this sentence.

Taking a sip of coffee, Zhou Shufang's eyes swept across Meng Ziyi's expression, and a slight arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She knew that this matter was done.

The media that were squatting on the art exams were very efficient. The news that Zhou Yutang took the art exam at school in the morning had already been on the hot search in the news.

The matter that was just handed down at noon was reported in the afternoon.

Zhou Shufang's efficiency surprised Zhou Yutang a little, but he didn't care much.

He just happened to meet her and mentioned this.

The subsequent marketing and potential mining and realization are also Zhou Shufang's business.

The total box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" closed at 1.424 billion. It will be over in a few days. At this time, the lanterns arranged on the streets of Beijing are hung high, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is becoming increasingly strong.

Liu Shishi is doing the publicity work for "Reply 1988". In addition to doing the post-production of the movie, Zhou Yutang also has to worry about the publicity of "The Lost Tomb".

He is the director with the highest status and the highest topic in the whole movie, so it is natural for him to take on the publicity task.

At this time, several movies in the Lunar New Year file have ended, and the movies arranged in the Spring Festival file have begun to promote vigorously.

For example, "A Chinese Odyssey", "Journey to the West: The Great Conqueror in Heaven", "The Storm Riders", "Frozen", and "The Ex-Files" are all heavily promoted.

Xiang Huaqi joined hands with Moon Entertainment to enter the domestic entertainment industry, and this remake of Hong Kong gambling movies "The Storm Riders" is the first shot.

Previously, at the press conference, he had made a bold statement that the box office was expected to be locked at 1.5 billion.

Zhen Zidan played the role of Sun Wukong this time, and there were many revelations before.

It is said that more than 70 Hollywood special effects makeup artists were invited, 20 models were reversed, and the whole process took more than 1,000 hours of makeup, including 200 kilograms of monkey hair consumables.

I don't know how Mr. Liu will evaluate it at that time

Of course.

The most eye-catching is the latest trailer of the first part of Ghost Blows Out the Light, "Mojin Mojin".

"The tomb-raiding lieutenants, together they live, apart they die."

"Whenever the curtain opens, a candle must be lit in the southeast corner of the underground palace before the coffin can be opened to search for gold."

Liu Huohua, carrying a rope, descended from the air with agility, lit the candle, and approached the suspended coffin.

The mysterious existence finally lifted the mysterious veil on his face.

What was presented to the audience was Guli Nazha's extremely impactful and beautiful face.

The vast grassland, the majestic underground palace, the funny big golden teeth, and most importantly, the thrilling and tense atmosphere, the mutual cooperation between the three tomb-raiding teams.

"Looking for dragons and dividing gold depends on the winding mountains. Each winding is a barrier. If there are eight dangers, the gate will be in the shape of Yin and Yang Bagua."

"This is the authentic tomb-raiding style."

"Starring: Liu Huohua, Chen Minghao, Dilireba, Xia Yu, Guli Nazha."

"Director: Zhou Yutang."

"Producers: Wang Changtian, Chen Xi, Han Jianu."

"Supervisor: Zhou Yutang."

"Ghost Blowing the Light" is also the most popular IP in the online literature industry. It has countless fans and Zhou Yutang's golden reputation.

This version of the promotional video was released and instantly went viral on the Internet, with unprecedented popularity.

"Oh my god, I feel like this movie is full of quality!"

"Naza is still so beautiful."

"I have to say that Zhou Yutang's casting is really good. Liu Huohua is the perfect choice for Hu Bayi, and Reba is so cool and beautiful."

"This cast, production team, and investment and promotion are totally worth looking forward to."

"Ahhhh, it's finally here, Mojin: The Lost Legend! Bayi, Fatty, Commander Yang!"

Zhou Yutang read the comments for a while and was basically looking forward to it. He had already held a meeting to decide on the film's promotion strategy.

He successively accepted several variety shows such as Six Princesses and Guangguang, and also greeted TV stations that have close ties with Jiangdong, including the internal screening of the theater chain.

The feedback from the theater chain was also very good. There are many competitors at the same time, but there is no need to worry about the film's scheduling.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the premiere the day after tomorrow, and then the Spring Festival.

It was at this time that "In the Name of the People" finally gradually entered the final stage.

"Hou Liangping!"

Qi Tongwei faced the siege of the special police and carried a sniper alone.

Through the scope of the sniper rifle, he said to Hou Liangping who came to persuade him to surrender: "Don't you think that the person I want to kill most in this world is you?"

He was like a beast trapped in a desperate situation, and his hysteria was also a bit desolate and tragic.

"Why do you want to kill Chen Hai?"

"I can't help it! I treat Chen Hai as a brother! I don't want to kill anyone! I can't help it!"

"What the hell is fear? Isn't it just death? Isn't it just death!"

"Remember this, Hou Liangping, in this world, no one can judge me, not even God, fuck your God!"

With a gunshot, Qi Tongwei fell down.

"What a pity."

Zhou Zhengping, who usually doesn't follow dramas, watched it on time in front of the TV.

Seeing this scene, he stood up unconsciously, clenched his fists, and sighed: "Qi Tongwei was once a hero, but ended up like this..."
