Chapter 565: Aim for the Championship! What Is a King Bomb?
In early April, the preparations for the second season of "Celebrating Yu Nian" have reached the final stage.
Jiang Xuehui, the chief producer, director Kong Sheng, and the main creators of the crew held a pre-filming meeting in Beijing.
The second season basically continues the cast of the first season.
In addition, as the plot progresses, many new characters appear.
The eldest princess of Northern Qi, Zhan Doudou's sister, married the eldest prince of Qing under political marriage, and was eventually a teammate of Fan Xian's protagonist group. The actor Mao Xiaotong was found.
Teacher Ning Li played Ming Qingda, who is the important villain boss in the second season.
He was highly praised for his acting skills in "Reply 1988", which had a great reputation at the beginning of the year, because he played the father of the heroine in it. He is also a powerful actor.
There is also another beautiful queen in the circle, Gao Lu, who plays Wang Qinian's wife.
The Queen of Qing invited Yu Feihong.
It's not that Zhou Yutang wants to ride a phoenix robe, he handed over the casting task for the second season.
Lin Liang himself communicated with the director team to choose the role, and Sister Yu had no objection.
There are several other new faces. Anyway, Jin Daxi is very sweet and respectfully calls everyone "teacher".
She joined the group with Liu Shishi's thigh and played Ye Ling'er.
She has the least experience here, and Jin Daxi is very humble.
Seeing that the girl sitting next to her is a little unfamiliar, Jin Daxi also called her "teacher" as usual, and looked at her with a little curiosity.
"No, I don't deserve it. Just call me Li Chun."
The girl waved her hand a little awkwardly and said.
Jin Daxi saw the sign on her desk that symbolized her identity in the play and then realized it.
The cast of the second season of "Celebrating Yu Nian" has been slightly changed from the previous one.
The most important thing is that Ni Ni will no longer play Si Lili.
The announcement of this news at that time caused a small shock in the entertainment industry.
One carrot, one pit. Ni Ni retreated behind the scenes. I don't know how many actresses who want to get ahead want to get ahead and fight for this supporting role.
After several auditions, Zhou Yutang finally decided on Li Chun.
This girl had played in Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers of War", and had a good relationship with Ni Ni, and her acting skills were also very good.
Zhou Yutang felt that this woman had a charming aura, so it was reasonable to give her a plot of plastic surgery by a genius doctor like Jian Yu.
Si Lili didn't have many scenes in the second season, but for a little-known person like Li Chun, it was a huge fortune.
People were still coming one after another, and the large conference room was full. Jin Daxi looked at the old actors with strong aura and was secretly amazed.
It was worthy of being an S+ project controlled by Zhou Yutang, and the cast was really luxurious.
Chen Daoming didn't need to be mentioned much, Wu Gang, who played Chen Pingping, and Li Dakang, who played in "Righteousness", became popular.
Chen Qingquan, the national first-level and third-level actor who likes to learn foreign languages, Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming, and Zhang Zhijian, the young cabinet minister
Almost half of the veteran actors of "In the Name of the People" have guest-starred in supporting roles in "Celebrating Yu Nian", constructing the entire Daqing court.
To be honest.
Wu Gang's Chen Pingping has a lot of scenes, but most of the other veteran actors don't have many shots.
According to their skyrocketing salaries after "In the Name of the People", it is indeed a bit of a downgrade to take such a supporting role.
Zhou Yutang stood up with his hands on the table and said politely: "Teachers, if you have other dramas in your hands or your schedule is too busy, just say it, the crew can coordinate to change people, don't worry."
After becoming famous, time is money, and Zhou Yutang will not stop others from making money.
"There is no big or small role, and there is no priority for actors."
Zhang Zhijian pushed the glasses on his nose and said with a smile: "Yutang, don't worry, I will definitely play well."
It is worthy of being Secretary Gao!
This ideological awareness is really unique.
The other veteran actors also echoed this statement, and no one withdrew.
This situation was also expected, Zhou Yutang nodded in appreciation: "Then I will trouble you all teachers when the time comes."
"It should be."
Li Chun, who had just confirmed his entry into the group, quickly glanced at Zhou Yutang who was sitting in the main seat and communicating with Kong Sheng.
In addition to the reputation of stunning beauty, he felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
We were all born in 1988, and I am even several months older than him.
We received nine years of compulsory education together, how could he be so outstanding?
"Celebrating Yu Nian" will not start shooting until mid-April, but another film project solely funded by Jiangdong has held a pre-shooting press conference in Beijing.
"Shi Shi, look here."
The media all aimed their filming equipment at today's protagonist.
Liu Shishi only wore a simple waist-hugging chiffon shirt with a mesh skirt today.
Her slightly powdered face showed a gentle smile, cooperating with the media to shoot.
Shoulders like a cut, waist like a slender woman, muscles like solidified fat, breath like a faint orchid.
Even the reporters who are used to seeing beauties in the entertainment industry can't help but sigh in their hearts that the first sister's demeanor is really impeccable.
After the shooting, the main creators of the crew chatted casually for a while, and Liu Shishi was still the center of media attention: "Shishi, this is the first time to work with Director Cao Baoping, and you are the first starring role. What do you think?"
"Yeah."
Faced with the reporter's question, Liu Shishi responded generously and appropriately: "Teacher Cao is a very good director. It's an honor to work with him. I have a lot to learn. I will do my best to play this role well. I hope to surprise the audience at that time."
"You are the lead actor and the producer. As far as I can remember, this is your first time as a producer, right?"
"Well, to be honest, I don't have much experience. I asked a great friend for advice."
Liu Shishi's voice suddenly became soft, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
"Is that friend Zhou Yutang?" The reporter's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Guess."
Liu Shishi smiled mischievously: "Actually, it's my first time as a producer. There is pressure, but it's more of a motivation for improvement. If I'm determined to do something, I will definitely do it well."
You've also read Zhou Yutang's four famous works in the entertainment industry. Do you want to improve so much?
Another reporter changed the subject and pointed the microphone at Cao Baoping: "Director Cao, what do you think of Shi Shi? Are you worried about her acting skills?"
"No! If I think she is not suitable for this role, I will not use her no matter what others say."
Cao Baoping has a strong personality and speaks frankly: "This role was also decided by Shi Shi through auditions.
I personally think she is very talented and very hardworking, and she has all the necessary conditions to play this role well."
Yijie is really hardworking.
For the script reading, she turned down a lot of notices and basically lived in Beijing during this period.
After the launch conference, she will join the crew immediately, and Zhou Yutang will also join the crew of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" in a few days.
Then she will take time to work on the promotion of the movie "Godzilla", and I am afraid that there will be few opportunities to meet in the next few months.
So Liu Shishi was particularly proactive at night. After reciting poems, she even acted coquettishly and asked Zhou Yutang to give her some special treatment and talk about the play.
"Don't worry, this role is tailor-made for you."
Although Liu Shishi is confident and beautiful today, only Zhou Yutang, who is beside her, can feel that she is a little bit unconfident.
Cao Baoping can almost make Zhou Xun, a talented demon, collapse, and Liu Shishi also knows that her acting talent is not as good as Zhou Xun.
"Dear, don't coax me."
"When Teacher Cao scolds you, just call me and I will definitely help you."
Zhou Yutang put his arm around Liu Shishi's shoulders and made Yijie happy with a few words.
In the gender-reversed version of "The Tuner", Liu Shishi's role adaptation is about 80 points.
According to Cao Baoping's strict habits of filming, coupled with Zhou Yutang's off-site assistance, it is expected that the filming effect can reach 90 points, or even higher.
"The Mojin: The Lost Tomb has been fully completed, with a total box office of 2.093 billion, and it has won the championship of the total box office list of Chinese-language films. It is another milestone in the history of Chinese films!"
As April came, "The Mojin: The Lost Tomb", which dominated the Spring Festival, finally came to a perfect end.
In the past few days, the media and the Internet have reported various hot topics!
This box office is already a very shocking number, even Hollywood has been paying attention to it. The rapid development of the Chinese film market seems to be somewhat unexpected.
Captain Depp, who came to China with his girlfriend Amber to promote the movie "Transcendence", paid a visit to the dock when he was interviewed on the first day of his visit to Beijing.
"You know, Zhou is an incredible genius."
"I met him several times at the cocktail party. That "Now You See Me" is a very exciting movie. This "Mojin: The Lost Legend" is simply incredible, full of oriental charm and imagination. Amber and I like it very much."
"If there is a chance, I hope to work with him. In addition, Beijing roast duck is definitely one of my favorite foods. I may settle in China in the future."
Foreigners who have mastered the traffic password can easily get the support of many domestic audiences.
However, judging from Zhou Yutang's contact with Depp at several cocktail parties, he is a man of temperament.
He had some yearning for this mysterious oriental country, otherwise he wouldn't have a tattoo with Chinese elements on his arm.
As for his girlfriend.
Very hot.
When they met at a Hollywood cocktail party, they shook hands politely.
At that time, her eyes flickered, and her fingers seemed to accidentally brush across the palm of this young entertainment tycoon who was very popular in Hollywood.
What this move meant was self-evident.
Zou Zhongyan sent an email, and several Hollywood giants took action.
Even a big director like Spielberg has a trip to China in April, and he wants to meet Zhou Yutang at that time.
It's no wonder that Hollywood film and television giants are salivating. At this time, the potential of the domestic film market has indeed been stimulated, and the box office of "The Lost Tomb" is the best proof.
However, after "The Lost Tomb", the film market has been a little deserted.
There are no commercial blockbusters at the moment. Young Master Yang took the lead in making a Sino-Korean co-production "I Love You Most on the Road", inviting Huang Shengyi, Ji Zhenxi, and Wen Zhang to star in the cast, with a total investment of more than 80 million yuan, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
But this old unlucky guy happened to encounter Wen Zhang's cheating incident, and his reputation was completely ruined.
After the release of this movie, it was inevitably affected. Many viewers saw that Wen Zhang was the star, and they gave it one star and scolded it.
The box office in the first week was just over 15 million, and the theater chain ruthlessly cut off the schedule and rushed directly into the Pacific Ocean.
In addition, "Police Diary" starring Tokyo Film Emperor Wang Jingchun received mediocre response, and it seemed that only "Fireworks in the Daytime", "A Touch of Sin", and "The Heart Labyrinth" were fighting on the same stage.
"Fireworks in the Daytime" took the lead, and the box office has exceeded 100 million after two weeks of release.
"A Touch of Sin" is no slouch either, with a first-week box office of 88 million. Jia has already broken his best box office record in his directorial career, and it looks like he can push it higher.
"The Labyrinth of Heart" was released the latest, but backed by the Jiangdong label, its publicity resources and reputation have both taken off, and it has a great tendency to catch up.
The hot film market has made all the big and small film and television companies in the circle unable to sit still.
After serving as the director of Huayi Film Department, Gu Changwei made his first commercial comedy, and the names of Chen Chichi and Yang Ying appeared in the surprisingly starring roles.
"Rebirth: The Frozen Gate" by Yuzhou Dan, "Hypnotist" by Xu Guangtou and other movies have also begun to promote and build momentum.
Including "My Deskmate" by Ai Dajin, there are also overwhelming press releases.
Lin Gengxin was probably really hungry, and was photographed by paparazzi staying overnight at the Little Yellow Duck Apartment several times.
Ai Dajin is even more enthusiastic. When he was interviewed, he said confidently: "This is my first time directing a movie. It feels wonderful. I hope it can have a good result. As for the box office expectations, I think it can be compared with "Those Years"."
"Ai Dajin is really shameless."
Da Mimi was in the crew of "Tiny Times 3" and called Zhou Yutang at night to complain.
Complaints are just a side job, the most important thing is to flirt with men.
There are too many women around Zhou Yutang, yesterday Sister Yuanyuan, today National Sister.
There are also two big bosses, Liu Tianxian and Yijie, who can stand this?
Yang Mi felt that if she didn't take the initiative, the relationship might fade.
"He is shameless and invincible in the world, why bother with him?"
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and smiled, with some teasing: "Sister Mi, you just won the Golden Broom Award, what do you think?"
"╭(╯^╰)╮"
Da Mimi said she was speechless.
The Golden Broom Awards are sponsored by a private association and do not have the qualifications of an official film award. The audience just watched the fun and complained about last year's bad movies.
This year's Most Disappointing Director Award was jointly won by Sun Jianjun, the director of "Fuchun Mountain Residence", and Guo Xiaosi, the director of "Tiny Times".
The above two were also elected as the most disappointing films with high votes.
There is also Xiao Gangpao. His good brother Wang Shuo returned to the arena and won the annual most disappointing screenwriter award specially created this year.
The Most Disappointing Actor Award was awarded to Du Pangzi who knelt down to the Koreans, and the actress was Da Mimi who beat all the beauties.
Da Mimi's salary for this "Tiny Times" series is not low. She was embarrassed to promote it, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't avoid this shot in the end.
Recently, there have been a lot of discussions in the circle about the acting skills of 85 flowers.
Liu Yifei was crowned as a god in "Flowers". She is undoubtedly the first 85 flower to be crowned as the queen of the Golden Horse Awards.
Liu Shishi has a golden body with "Those Years" and a Magnolia Award for Best Actress. She played the beautiful, strong and miserable Ye Zhanqing in "Sword Rain" and the sad and beautiful dance in the snow in "Embroidered Spring Knife", which are also classic roles.
At present, many viewers are looking forward to "The Tuner", which can be said to be very stable.
Tang Yan was a big hit last year with "Silent Separation", and she gradually proved her acting skills to the audience in "Eyewitness".
Only Yang Mi was ridiculed the most.
The main reason is that after "Reply 1997", she once said that she would work hard to transform into an actor and show her works to the audience.
As a result, she took on the Tiny Times series, and the boomerang stabbed herself, causing countless black fans to revel.
The works were seen, but they were really bad.
Later, "Charlotte's Troubles" directed by Zhou Yutang was a big hit and helped her regain a lot of reputation, but the crew of "Tiny Times 3" started to make trouble again.
Frequently using Da Mimi to issue press releases and hype the popularity has caused a lot of disgust.
This will eventually become a black spot that Da Mimi can't wash off in her acting career.
"Yu Tang, I took on "Why Sheng Xiao Mo"."
"Ah?"
Listening to Da Mimi's sweet voice as always, Zhou Yu Tang was slightly stunned, and then he remembered.
Last year, this TV series became popular, and several film and television companies in the circle came to inquire about the price, wanting to spend money to get the film copyright.
It is definitely not a high-quality project in Jiangdong, but it will be flooded and flooded.
The project that Zhou Yu Tang looked down on made many film and television companies in the circle drool.
They are calculating very loudly.
As long as they take advantage of the popularity of the TV series version, the film project can basically be said to be a sure win, or it may be a big hit.
LeTV's boss Jia seems to be able to print money. Zhang Zhao offered a price that Li Shuang could not refuse. After consulting Zhou Yu Tang, he sold the film copyright to LeTV at a high price.
This is a normal business behavior.
The money is in place, and how Zhang Zhao wants to operate it afterwards has nothing to do with Jiangdong.
I didn't expect that Da Mimi would take over this pie.
It's just that there are two versions of Zhao Mosheng, and fans will inevitably compare them.
Zhou Yutang can almost foresee the bloody storm in the near future.
Cao Baoping is low-key in his work, and "The Tuner" started filming in a low-key manner, adopting a closed shooting.
The official account of Jiangdong Entertainment also announced the company's TV drama projects in the next three years.
"Qing Yu Nian 2", directed by Kong Sheng, starring Zhou Yutang, Chen Daoming, Li Xin, etc., is expected to have a total investment of 150 million, and will start filming on April 15."
"Snow Swordsman", starring Zhou Yutang, to be determined."
"Nirvana in Fire", adapted from the work of the same name by the author Hai Yan of Qidian Chinese website, directed by Kong Sheng, and the rest to be determined."
"The Lonely and Great God", a romantic fantasy drama, directed by Lin Yufen, written and starred by Zhou Yutang, with an estimated investment of 100 million, and the rest is to be determined."
"The Signal", a crime suspense drama, written by Zhou Yutang, and the rest is to be determined."
Jiangdong Entertainment is expected to launch Legend Theater and Misty Theater.
Among them, Legend Theater includes a series of popular online literary IPs including "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Snow", aiming to create classic legendary dramas.
And Misty Theater is Jiangdong's high-quality content that is comparable to American dramas, and tends to be short dramas.
The official "Signal" will be the first work of Misty Theater, and there will be film and television adaptation plans for several crime suspense novels by Zijin Chen, which are also on the schedule.
There is a saying in the industry about TV drama ratings, which is not just a random shout, but a benchmark assessment of the expectations of TV drama projects in the circle.
It is mainly divided according to the script IP, actor popularity, production team and investment cost.
Take Jiangdong Legend Theater's "Celebrating More Than Years 2" as an example.
With the first season being a huge hit, the second season that is now being launched is a recognized S+ big production, the best of the best.
Then there are "In the Snow" and "The Lonely and Great God", which are undoubtedly S-level TV series.
Just the fact that Zhou Yutang is involved in the starring role is worth looking forward to.
Because in the news released by the official microblog, "Nirvana in Fire" and "Signal", the former is directed by Kong Sheng, and Zhou Yutang's name is also written in the screenwriter column of "Signal".
Even without looking at the other casts, it can be given an A+ rating at the lower limit and an S rating at the upper limit.
As soon as the news of Jiangdong was announced, people inside and outside the circle were shocked.
Not to mention those young actors and actresses, even some high-ranking movie stars were also very tempted.
Under normal circumstances, they would never act in TV series.
But Zhou Yutang's projects are an exception.
The dramas controlled by Zhou Yutang started as a hit boutique and went viral at the upper limit.
"In the Name of the People" is still killing, and even the long-tail effect of "My Love from the Star" a few years ago is still quite amazing.
These projects officially announced by Jiangdong are worth it even if you can just sneak in and play the role of a female lead.
"The boss is really a hard worker. He will join the crew of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" soon. He also has the sequel of "Now You See Me". I heard that he will also star in Lao Mouzi's new film. The schedule is scheduled until the year after next. Can he handle it?"
"In order to let the audience have something good, Zhou Yutang should work harder."
"After waiting for so many years, Xuezhong is finally going to start."
"I have already paid attention to the Legend Theater and the Mist Theater, and I am waiting for them to start."
"It is really a blessing to be a fan of Jiangdong's dramas."
"So I say, haters, please stop salivating. Those rumors are really outrageous. Zhou Yutang is so busy, how can he have time for a date?"
...
Time is like the panda of the little yellow duck.
As long as you work hard, you will always have it.
As a master of time management, Zhou Yutang did not forget to take time out to date Liu Yifei who had just returned to Beijing after another meeting with the director team of "Celebrating Yu Nian".
However, when Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Yifei, his expression suddenly changed slightly,
"Not right!"
