Chapter 568 Sisters Face Off, Never Compromise

Teacher Fan came prepared this time, even bringing Mei Niang's battle robe.

It doesn't matter whether she wins the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards or not.

Zhou Yutang must be taken down.

But after several rounds, Teacher Fan finally couldn't stand the lashing and was defeated.

After the Academy Awards, all media outlets had to report on it.

Zhou Yutang's interview about the development of Hong Kong films was highly discussed.

Sometimes, the truth is the sharpest knife.

Anyone who is not blind can see the real situation of the Hong Kong circle.

Zhou Yutang accidentally hurt the pitiful self-esteem of some local people in Hong Kong.

Du Wenzhe didn't know what was wrong with his brain, and he was the first to jump out: "The Hunting" won the Best Film, which does not meet the three regulations of the Academy Awards. Now that local Hong Kong films are struggling to survive, we should pay more attention to protecting the rights and interests of local films."

Then, many old guys jumped out to make trouble again, suggesting that the Academy Awards Organizing Committee consider revising the rules of the game of the Academy Awards again.

The entry threshold for other films must be raised - the number of jobs held by Hong Kong people in the 15 awards set up by the Academy Awards should be increased from the current 6 to 10, in order to better protect the local film industry.

As soon as Zhou Yutang landed, he received a call from Chen Jiashang, the chairman of the Academy Awards: "Director Zhou, you know, the situation here is hard to describe."

Some people are stupid, but Lao Chen is clear-headed and called to explain it clearly.

"Director Chen, it's 2014 now. Everything must look forward. Hong Kong films must improve, and the rules must adapt to the new era."

Zhou Yutang was too lazy to talk nonsense with those guys who were half buried in the soil. Some of them had crooked buttocks.

"There is a long way to go."

Feeling that Zhou Yutang was not so angry, Chen Jiashang breathed a sigh of relief. After hanging up the phone, his brows were furrowed.

Wen Juan, the former director of the Academy Awards Board, said, "Old Chen, what do you say?"

"He shouldn't take this little thing to heart."

Chen Jiashang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "From what he said, he wants to change the rules of the Academy Awards."

"What? He wants to create a new Academy Awards?"

Wen Juan was shocked and stood up from his seat.

After knowing each other for many years, he knew that Chen Jiashang was not joking.

It's terrifying to think about it.

Zou Wenhuai used his connections to pave the way for him. Now, Boss Yang of Yinghuang and Boss Anlejiang are closely connected with him.

With Zhou Yutang's current power, it may not be impossible to create a new Academy Awards.

What a bullshit to protect the glory of Hong Kong movies.

In the era of capital, if you have money, you can show off and do whatever you want.

As long as you have the strength, you can even change the rules of the Hollywood Oscars, so what is the Academy Awards.

"Don't worry, based on my understanding of him, he won't do it."

Chen Jiashang rubbed his forehead and added: "It won't do him much good to mess up the Academy Awards."

Compared to those conservative old stubborn people, although he can't keep up with the market, he still has vision.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be the first to rush into the mainland film industry to try it out.

A "Painted Skin" made him famous and wealthy.

At that time, the mainland film industry was still dominated by three major directors. Zhou Yutang could only be regarded as a rising star, and was favored by Li Xiaoping and supported by investment.

And Chen Jiashang followed Zhang Zhao, who was another force in Guangguang, and even wanted to teach Zhou Yutang, a junior, how to do things.

And then there was nothing else.

Old Chen was taught a lesson by reality.

Zhou Yutang broke the Chinese film box office record one after another, and was strongly promoted to a super first-line commercial film director in the circle.

After Zhang Zhao was eliminated from the palace fight, Old Chen hugged Wang Changtian's thigh.

At this time, Zhou Yutang had risen in the domestic entertainment industry at a speed he had never imagined, and became an existence he could only look up to.

It is also deeply bound to Guangguang and has become a shareholder.

Later, Chen Jiashang put himself in the right position. He went to Vision Media to do post-production for the last two parts of "The Four", and called him Boss Zhou when they met.

The two former and current directors attended the meeting and talked all night until dawn. Finally, they looked at each other and sighed together: "Old Chen, maybe, it really has to change."

The two old men couldn't sleep because of Zhou Yutang's words.

Zhou Yutang came back and attended the launch conference of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2", and was inevitably asked about this by the media.

"Whether Hong Kong movies are declining, let the market give the answer."

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "What I said is based on reality. Last year, there were only 42 Hong Kong films produced in Hong Kong, and the total box office was not even as big as Jiangdong's family."

Are Hong Kong movies now still pure Hong Kong movies?

The largest producer of "The Grandmaster", Silver Capital, is headquartered in Hong Kong. However, Silver Capital and its predecessors Great Wall, Phoenix, New Union, and Central Plains Film Company have a special status and have been connecting the mainland and Hong Kong for more than 60 years.

The majority of funds for Xu Ke's Di Renjie and Zhou Xingxing's Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons came from the mainland.

Even many of the winners are from the mainland. If you have to choose from the group of dwarfs in Hong Kong films, even Huang Laogou's "Ip Man: The Final Fight" can be nominated for Best Actor.

How can the trend be reversed?

This has something to do with the social environment. When the mainland was not developed, Hong Kong did mean advanced and foreign.

Many Hong Kong people have a mysterious sense of superiority in their hearts.

But with the growing national strength and the rapid development of the mainland, the gap between the two has gradually been narrowed.

Some Hong Kong people are unwilling to accept reality, so they have a sense of resentment.

Recently, some media reported that the service industry in Hong Kong has a bad attitude and puts a bad face on mainland tourists. In fact, they even treat Hong Kong locals as bad

The news reports of the Academy Awards are still hanging on various entertainment portals, and Zhou Yutang's airborne appearance at the launch conference of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" has attracted widespread attention.

There is no time management master in the entertainment industry better than this.

Ni Ni admires her boss a little.

It took a lot of effort to subdue Wen Yongshan the day before yesterday, and she had a fight with the beauty teacher Fan last night.

Before the crew of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" officially started filming, she also accompanied Zeng Li, who had just returned from a trip abroad, to watch "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

I will join the crew to film soon. It seems that the good sister Reba and teacher Yu Feihong are also having an affair with him.

Ni Ni's scalp tingles when she thinks about it.

My boss's body is really abnormal. Maybe Gao Yuanyuan's tonic medicine that is said to be passed down from the palace is also effective.

In short, no matter how much she complains, Ni Ni still completes her own duties very attentively.

The launch conference created enough momentum, and the first thing that "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" filmed was a set of launch specials.

Wang Yiran ate Zhou Yutang's gossip with her bestie in the group.

The fairy CP that appeared together at Jackie Chan's birthday dinner recently is the trend.

She was photographed by paparazzi visiting Wen Yongshan in Hong Kong, and it is said that the Hong Kong girl is also very popular with the governor.

But in Wang Yiran's opinion, none of them is as good as Li Xin, and these two are truly a good match.

After going online to fight against several trolls who blackened Zhou Yutang, Wang Yiran, who finished the line passionately, turned into an office OL sweet girl in reality.

Time passed quickly, and after graduating from college, Wang Yiran was like many of her peers.

Entered society and started working.

Before going to work every day, it is essential to make a cup of coffee, and then fish with peace of mind.

Browsing the news on the Internet, as a fan of Jiangdong dramas, Wang Yiran pays special attention to Jiangdong official media in addition to Zhou Yutang's personal social media.

The early bird catches the worm.

I actually saw the latest material released by Jiangdong officials, which is also the opening special of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" that she pays the most attention to.

"Zhou Yutang seems to be playing something very new."

Wang Yiran took a sip of coffee, put on headphones, and clicked play.

The camera swept across the Jiangdong Entertainment Creation Center.

The first thing that came into the camera was the back of a middle-aged man with a bald face, his fingers tapping the keyboard deftly, typing like flying.

"Is this the screenwriter Wang Wei?"

As an old fan of Jiangdong, Wang Yiran naturally knew the existence of the Jiangdong Entertainment Creation Center.

Countless hit film and television dramas were born here.

After the big hit of "Celebrating Yu Nian", Wang Wei also became famous and promoted to a first-line screenwriter in the circle.

Before she could sigh that Wang Wei's hairstyle was very strong, Wang Yiran's eyes were attracted by the three big words "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" on his computer word text.

"So this is how screenwriters work, it seems to be no different from me."

Wang Yiran drank coffee and read on, and the time on the screen began to flow rapidly from the year before last.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it suddenly freezes in 2014.

It means that the second season has officially started.

"Little Master Fan, wake up."

Wang Qinian's voice came from far away, as if waking up the sleeping Fan Xian.

The camera followed Fan Xian's perspective to the crew.

Wang Yiran was very interested.

As an outsider, she was very curious about the operation mode of the crew.

"Okay, wind machine up."

The camera was ready, and the crew began to take the final makeup photos.

It was still Zhou Yutang, and it was still the graceful Fan Xian.

A purple robe with delicate and meticulous brocade gold edges on the collar and sleeves.

Simple and elegant in the big picture, noble in the small details.

Zhou Yutang posed in various poses in front of the camera, his behavior was casual, but he was indescribably elegant and handsome.

"Oh my god, Boss Zhou is so handsome."

Wang Yiran even forgot to drink coffee, and heart-shaped stars appeared in her eyes.

Then the scene changed, and a bird's-eye view showed us the quaint filming location.

There was a red carpet on the ground, incense burners on the tables, and then there were all kinds of machines and equipment. Wang Yiran saw that everyone in the crew had red envelopes in their hands.

"First, I wish you good luck."

"Second, I wish you a good start."

"Third, I wish you a long-lasting ratings."

"Fourth, I wish you unity."

The field staff shouted with a loud speaker, and Zhou Yutang took the lead in burning incense.

The director team led the main creators, the photography team, the lighting team, the costume team, the makeup team, the props team, etc. to worship and burn incense one by one.

The red cloth was unveiled, and the filming started with good luck. The whole process was full of ritual.

"I am lucky to meet you again in the next year."

"The filming will start at an auspicious time, so stay tuned."

The video ended here, and the crew must enter the formal filming next.

But Wang Yiran felt that he was still not satisfied, and watched it several times over.

This kind of opening special is very interesting, which allows the audience to understand the filming process of the whole drama more intuitively, and there are many interesting crew highlights.

I forwarded the link of the video in the girlfriends group: "Sisters, have you watched the opening special of Joy of Life?"

"Before you posted it, this girl had already brushed it when she was squatting in the toilet."

"Damn, I'm still eating breakfast, you're disgusting."

"Little Fan is so handsome, the second season of Joy of Life will be a big hit?"

While chatting in the group, Wang Yiran suddenly received a call from her mother at home, telling her about her cousin from her aunt's family.

The cousin from her aunt's family has been a beauty since she was a child. She was born very pretty and has been on a TV show.

Later, she was determined to pursue her dream of the entertainment industry. This year, she will go to the opera school affiliated to the Shanghai Drama Academy.

Now Wang Yiran works in Shanghai. Her mother called to ask her to help.

My aunt divorced early, and my cousin lived with her mother. It was pitiful. As a sister, she would naturally take care of her when she entered the society.

I also tagged my cousin in the group of "Love each other as a family", and Wang Yiran agreed.

The two sisters often played together when they were young. They were a little unfamiliar when they grew up, but they were cousins ​​with blood relationship after all.

Wang Yiran greeted her cousin on WeChat: "The Magic City Opera School is pretty good. It seems to be Li Xin's alma mater. Maybe you will also be noticed by Zhou Yutang and debut as Little Li Xin."

"Sister, you are wrong."

The cousin sent a special Zhou Yutang emoticon package: "I will be the new generation of fish girl in the future, more popular than Li Xin."

The little girl is very proud. She has never been beaten by society and doesn't know how high the sky is.

Wang Yiran couldn't help but send a rolling eyes emoticon.

The cousin immediately responded with a double rolling eyes.

The emoticon war between the two sisters ended with her having to hold a morning meeting.

Wang Yiran felt a little emotional.

I am indeed an old aunt in my thirties.

Or so.

Young girls nowadays are a little wild.

After the start of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2", problems occurred in the filming.

In the finale of the last season, Fan Xian went on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi. On the way back with the envoys, Yan Bingyun stabbed Fan Xian in the back and left a button.

Because Yan Bingyun is played by Zhu Yilong, it is well known that he is Zhou Yutang's good brother, and netizens jokingly call them love-hate couples.

Fan Xian certainly cannot die, and Yan Bingyun's stabbing with the sword was also planned.

But the problem is that we have to make the fake death real, but we can't make the fake death real.

There are many original contents of Wang Xun at the beginning of the second season. The news of Fan Xian's death was reported back to Kyoto, and all parties responded.

From the perspective of the audience, after watching the previous shots, Zhou Yutang was not satisfied with the overall shooting effect and immediately raised his opinion:

"It is definitely not okay to shoot like this, it must be changed."

Zhou Yutang did not hesitate and made a decision immediately: "Pause the shooting, and ask Wang Xun, Mao Pang and the screenwriter team to come to the meeting together."

He participated in the creation of part of the content of the first season.

But time management is not enough. The chief screenwriter of the second season is Wang Xun, and Mao Pang is the script consultant and follow-up screenwriter, with a whole screenwriter team to serve them.

The purpose of holding this meeting is very simple.

The effect of the script filming cannot satisfy the big boss, so these people will start to rush to work in the hotel next.

It is normal to modify the script during filming in the film and television industry.

Jiang Wen often does this, and the King of Sunglasses has more ideas.

Zhou Yutang always puts the audience first, and convened the director team including Kong Sheng, Li Muge, and the screenwriters of the group to discuss in a meeting.

"Mr. Zhou, Director Kong, I have an immature idea."

Li Muge suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of everyone in the crew, including Zhou Yutang.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yutang took a sip of water and motioned him to continue.

Li Muge is a top student at Yenching University, and he has something in his belly.

When he first entered the circle, he was Gao Xixi's henchman, and Gao Xixi was the best friend of Big Dog. He didn't have much chance in Xiao Ma, and he had been helping Lao Gao.

When he was spotted by Zhou Yutang in "The Loyal Yue Fei", he painted a lot of cakes, and Li Muge was very moved. He went back and revealed his intention to switch to Jiangdong, and Big Dog nodded very readily.

Li Muge is now a reserve talent for subsequent directors of Jiangdong Entertainment. He joined the group of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" as a nominal deputy director and has a lot of experience in shooting scenes and beauties.

"I personally think that a short segment of Lin Wan'er's reaction to hearing the news of Fan Xian's death should be added here."

"Wan'er's reaction?"

"Yes, there was no Lin Wan'er's play in the previous episodes. If I were a viewer, I would definitely be disappointed."

"According to your idea, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Yutang asked with interest.

"I can't say anything else."

Li Muge became more and more excited: "But I stand in the audience's position. They know that Fan Xian is not dead, and they must want to see Lin Wan'er's reaction."

"This is a good opportunity to strengthen the character of the chicken leg girl."

"Director Kong, what do you think?"

"Xiao Li said it very well. No wonder I always feel that the taste is not right, as if something is missing." Kong Sheng nodded.

"Thank you, Director Kong."

Li Muge grinned to be recognized by a great director of the older generation like Kong Sheng.

"Then remember this section first."

Zhou Yutang wanted to add more scenes for Li Xin, not just because the Queen Mother repeatedly told him to take good care of Li Xin, but simply because of the overall impression of the show.

Compared to those exaggerated forced jokes, the audience would definitely prefer to see the chicken leg girl worrying about the king.

"I'll just say a few words."

After a simple exchange, Zhou Yutang stood up: "From the current shooting effect, forcibly adding popular online memes and deliberately making them funny will most likely affect the audience's experience of watching the show, and make people feel that it's funny for the sake of being funny."

"Remove the exaggerated content that deliberately makes memes funny, continue the main character setting of the first season, and quickly get into the main story."

Zhou Yutang wants to make the Legend Theater a classic, not only has he assembled the most top-notch luxurious cast in the circle, but also the top team behind the scenes.

Including the entire scene, costumes, makeup, props, etc., the requirements are extremely high.

"Mr. Zhou, if you want to change the script temporarily, the entire shooting schedule will have to be adjusted."

This is the first time that Jiang Xuehui, the chief producer, has encountered such a thing.

The project just started, and the boss was not satisfied with the specific shooting effect and directly stopped the project. As the chief producer, she was a little overwhelmed.

"Then adjust it first and then shoot."

Zhou Yutang glanced at him lightly: "Manager Jiang, I want to make "Celebrating Yu Nian" a classic hit in the Legend Theater. If it is at this level, it will undoubtedly disappoint the audience."

"Mr. Zhou, I understand."

Jiang Xuehui's face gradually became solemn.

Perhaps it was the big hit of "Celebrating Yu Nian" that made the entire film and television industry focus on the sequel of this drama.

The mentality of Jiangdong TV series department is also a bit arrogant. When the second season started, a lot of marketing press releases were issued.

In this way, the popularity must have been there. With the first season as a foundation, many viewers are looking forward to it. The online reservation of nearly 10 million viewers is the best proof.

The problem is that the audience has high expectations for this drama.

They hope to see a 90-point quality drama, but according to the current script, it can only get less than 70 points at most.

That is undoubtedly a failure.

ps: Brothers, can you see the last chapter? It seems to have been censored.
