Chapter 108: Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they don't need to talk about fasting.
Zhou Yutang can understand what Han Sanping means.
Han Sanping also instantly felt Zhou Yutang's sincerity.
The script of "Latent" is highly evaluated in the circle, and Mr. Han has also read it carefully, and he was quite shocked.
Previously, he didn't expect that Zhou Yutang, who started as a youth campus drama, would be able to tell a story with a main theme so attractively.
From Mr. Han's professional point of view, this project will basically not lose money, and it may even make a lot of money, after all, Zhou Yutang's previous dramas are all hits.
A popular film and television drama with the main theme, making money is secondary, and Mr. Han values reputation more than anything else.
This means a lot to him.
Zhou Yutang sent a great opportunity to earn fame to himself.
Mr. Han smiled happily.
With this layer of relationship, the distance between the two people has been invisibly shortened a lot, and Han Sanping took the initiative to speak: "Yu Tang, how are the preliminary preparations?" Do you want China Film to help? ”
"It's almost done, and filming can start directly this month, and it is expected to be completed within two months."
"Yes, young people are just motivated."
Han Sanping was very satisfied and continued to ask, "What about the movie?" Are there any plans for film? ”
"I plan to shoot the drama "Latent" first, but I have a few immature ideas, but the specific script has not been written yet, and when it is done, I will definitely let Mr. Han see it."
"Okay, I'm looking forward to your next movie."
Li Shuang waited in the car for more than two hours, and when he saw Zhou Yutang coming out, his eyes lit up: "Yutang, what did Mr. Han talk to you about?" ”
"Didn't talk about anything."
"Didn't talk about anything, left you for more than two hours?" Sister Shuang said that she was speechless.
"I talked about the TV series "Latent", the main theme + spy war, the genre that has never been seen before, Mr. Han is still very interested, China Film took the remaining 20% of the investment share, and he himself was named as a producer."
"I thought it was the reason why you reserved 20% of the share in advance, it turned out to be waiting for China Film"
Sister Shuang suddenly realized, and looked at Zhou Yutang as if she was looking at some kind of monster.
"It's not for this, at that time, I left part of the investment share to prevent accidents, and in the end I didn't find a partner, and the studio was able to digest it by itself, and I was also surprised to receive a call from Mr. Han, which can only be said to have happened to meet the opportunity."
Zhou Yutang chuckled: "Mr. Han helped in the film schedule of "Those Years" last time, and this time he repaid the favor and talked about my next movie."
"What's the next movie?"
"I'm not sure, I'll talk about it after the filming of "Latent".
"How do you feel after communicating with Han Sanping?"
"I think Mr. Han is very easy to talk to."
"Hehe, Yu Tang, you may not know much about Han Sanping's energy now, but you will slowly know it later."
Li Shuang summed up in a comfortable mood: "In short, taking the line of China Film is very beneficial to you and the development of the studio." ”
At the beginning of April, the most eye-catching thing in the domestic film industry was "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" directed by Li Rengang.
This large-scale production with a total investment of more than 100 million yuan has Liu Dehua, one of the four kings of Xiangjiang, starring Da Hong Fat, the big brother in the Hong Kong circle.
Before it was released, it was already full of drafts.
What kind of epic masterpiece of the Three Kingdoms can be compared with "Red Cliff", which is scheduled for July this year.
Director Lee In-gang has repeatedly claimed that he is a fan of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he thinks that this is a very romantic story, and we should look at the history of the Three Kingdoms when we watch the movie
Zhou Yutang couldn't figure out what kind of brain circuit he had.
Can you believe that you can wear a flying saucer hat in the Three Kingdoms?
Seeing An Zhijie and Yu Rongguang slashing each other there, one shouted Long live the Great Shu Kingdom, and the other shouted Long live the Great Wei Kingdom, Zhou Yutang's embarrassing toes in the movie theater were about to pierce the ground.
There is also a traitor like Cao Cao, who can take his granddaughter Cao Ying who is a few years old to fight on the battlefield together, and those who don't know think it's a playhouse.
is an epic masterpiece like the Three Kingdoms, which is essentially the same set of Hong Kong-made gangster films.
The pattern is too small, and the final box office is only more than 40 million, and the market gives Director Li the best answer.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's late April.
The crew of "Latent" has completed the preliminary preparations.
After taking the makeup photos, the main creators of the crew met in Hengdian and held a script study meeting.
Several of the main creative actors talked about their understanding of the script from their own perspectives.
There is no problem, the actors selected are all very professional actors who have worked hard in advance.
The story of "Latent" is very simple, mainly taking place after the surrender of Neon in 1945, and the male protagonist Yu Zecheng lurks as a spy in the Military Command Bureau, the highest intelligence agency of the Kuomintang.
On the one hand, he hides his identity, on the other hand, he secretly transmits information to Chen Cang, and at the same time, he has to maneuver in the emotional entanglement between his true lover and his fake wife, and finally obtains important information and makes important contributions to the victory of the Liberation War.
Zhou Yutang is the producer this time, sitting in charge of the crew to coordinate the overall situation, and after the plans of each group are discussed at a meeting, let the production director Lin Liang distribute the production schedule formulated in advance.
The director is Mr. Jiang Wei, the assistant director is Wen Muye, Lin Yufen did not come, and Sister Fen will shoot the second, third and second seasons of "Together in the Window" after a while.
The TV drama crew filmed for about two months and was divided into two groups, Director Jiang Wei was in charge of Group A, and Wen Muye was in charge of Group B.
If you want to catch up with the filming schedule, then the professionalism of the staff and actors has high requirements, and the team of Jiangdong Studio has also followed all the way from "Those Years", and there is no doubt about their professional ability.
The cast this time is not the same as "I Want to See You" and "Those Years".
All powerful.
has been waiting for several years to wait for a blockbuster powerful actor Zhang Songwen.
In order to experience Wang Cuiping's living conditions, Zeng Li, who deliberately went to be a village aunt for a few months.
Teacher Zu Feng also has good acting skills, and Feng Enhe and Wu Gang don't need to be mentioned, they are proper old drama bones.
Even Zuo Lan, who plays Yu Zecheng's true lover, is Hu Jing, one of the eight golden flowers of Chinese opera level 96.
Huang Xiaoming made a cameo appearance as Liao Sanmin, a loyal soldier of our party, but he is still filming another drama, and he will not be able to join the group until May.
Zhou Yutang himself also played a cameo role in "Latent", Mu Wanqiu's husband Xie Ruolin.
This character is different from Yu Zecheng and Li Ya, who fight for their firm beliefs, Xie Ruolin just plays this as a game.
It was a dangerous game that risked his life.
From beginning to end, he was a self-serving personal survivalist.
But such a character is not annoying.
Zhou Yutang doesn't have many scenes, but the role he plays is very crucial, and he can leave famous sayings and sentences every time he appears.
"Ahh You see that those who are officials now are all isms in their mouths, but their hearts are full of business! ”
"When this future is peaceful, there will be no doctrines, what is there? Only money, believe it or not? ”
"Now that the two gold bars are placed here, you tell me which one is noble? Which one is dirty? ”
Proper sassy king.
Zhou Yutang likes this role very much and thinks it is very enjoyable to play.
This year, he is so popular that he turns purple, which just brings a wave of traffic and attention to his own drama.
Mr. Jiang Wei is also an academic director, and he didn't do any start-up ceremony, so he went directly to filming.
The cast and crew also quickly got into the groove.
The early filming went very smoothly, and when it was not Zhou Yutang's turn, he sat behind the monitor and served as the assistant director for Mr. Jiang Wei.
By the way, I secretly learned a few tricks from Mr. Jiang Wei.
As far as Zhou Yutang is concerned, every director he has worked with has his own housekeeping skills.
For example, Teacher Xue Xiaolu, who expresses emotions very delicately, and director Li Guoli, the overall shooting rhythm is very well coordinated, which is decades of skill.
When Zhou Yutang was in the crew, he often communicated with these directors, and then formed his own style by observing some details by himself.
That's why Lin Yufen sighed that Zhou Yutang's directorial skills in "Those Years" from the beginning to the later stage of filming have made great progress, and even Wen Muye has such a similar feeling.
Zhou Yutang's scene was filmed in advance again.
There's no way, he's been so red and purple lately, and he's much busier than the other actors in the crew.
Today is a night scene.
Yu Zecheng made dumplings at home and tested Xie Ruolin.
First, a few people talked and laughed about making dumplings, and in late autumn, they helped Yu Zecheng pull up one of the cuffs.
Wang Cuiping, played by Zeng Li, was extremely responsive, and the movements of the dumplings in her hands unconsciously accelerated, and the expression on her face could also see that she was very unhappy.
Cui Ping is a very straightforward woman, and she started directly and neatly at the moment, picked up Yu Zecheng's other cuffs, and said rudely:
"Girl, you are a scholar, your little tender hand touches his elbow, and he can pee into his pants."
"What nonsense?"
Yu Zecheng glanced at the two women quickly, and explained to Wanqiu: "Your sister-in-law is good, but there is no order in her mouth. ”
"Click, do it again!"
Teacher Jiang Wei shouted to stop on the side, and took the initiative to come over to come and play: "In the section just now, the eyes of late autumn should be a little softer, with a little throbbing emotion, you like Yu Zecheng, you want to express that kind of emotion for him"
Zhou Yutang passed through the breath, Teacher Jiang Wei knew that this person had a background, and his usual attitude was very polite, and after teaching Zhu Jie, he turned his head and began to dispatch the scene again:
"Pay attention to the camera of the third machine, to capture Cuiping's back, this is a woman in an angry state, the steps and movements are very important, the second camera focuses the camera on the expression of Song Wen, Song Wen should pay attention to the face There must be some weakness on the face, all departments prepare, start!"
I was stuck here a few times by Zhu Jie, and then the shooting was very smooth.
Everyone is a veteran actor, and the cooperation is very tacit.
Cui Ping saw that Late Autumn was frowning at Yu Zecheng, turned around and went into the kitchen, Late Autumn was in front of him, and quickly went up and kissed Yu Zecheng on the face, Zhang Songwen had a very subtle dodge action, and after a short period of shock, he silently bowed his head and made dumplings.
He knew his identity and mission, and he knew that he didn't love her in his heart, so he couldn't respond to the feelings of late autumn.
When the atmosphere of the three of them was a little awkward, Zhou Yutang combed his big back, wore a decent suit, put his hands in his pockets, and appeared in a graceful manner.
Seeing the dumplings on the table, the cynicism on Zhou Yutang's face suddenly faded, and he was stunned for a few seconds, Yu Zecheng keenly observed Xie Ruolin's expression from bright to low, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "The last meal before I say goodbye to my parents is dumplings, damn devil!" ”
This is also the only part of the whole drama where Xie Ruolin's character reveals his true feelings.
But from this short but emotional line, it can be revealed that the corner of his life experience is also the loss of his parents and family at the hands of the Japanese invaders.
Just this one shot, filmed all night.
The main teacher Jiang Wei is very strict, and these subtle emotional changes are almost not good at all.
Every character in "Latent", including Xie Ruolin, is a living person with flesh and blood, and these subtle emotional transformations are the best way to express them.
"Director Jiang, Mr. Zhou, supper is coming!"
The actor in the crew who played Sheng Xiang, the head of the Secret Bureau, ran over with a supper, and several female comrades wanted to keep in shape, so they ate cucumbers and tomatoes.
Zhou Yutang, Jiang Wei, Zhang Songwen, Feng Enhe, and Wu Gang sat together and masturbated.
Director Jiang Wei nodded and praised: "Xiao Zhang is good, there is work in his eyes, and his acting skills are also good, come and eat together." ”
"Thank you, Director Jiang, for your appreciation."
Xiao Zhang took the initiative to say to Zhou Yutang, Director Jiang Wei and others: "There will be a scene to be filmed later, and drinking will affect the state, so I will replace the wine with water, and I will do it first, and I must give you a glass of respect another day." ”
After saying that, Gollum poured a large bottle of Coke, and hiccuped when he was done, amusing everyone.
This Xiao Zhang's name is Zhang Guofeng, and he performed in a group, and with his superb acting skills, he got the role of Chang Shengxiang, the head of the Archives Unit of the Secret Bureau.
Although there are not many scenes, they are also the kind of supporting roles that can appear in the cast.
"Chief Sheng, I don't feel like you're acting."
Zhou Yutang quipped: "Is there any secret to acting so well?" ”
"Mr. Zhou's talent is high, I am a group performer."
Zhang Guofeng knew that Zhou Yutang was the father of the investment of the crew, and said with a sneer: "Usually I think about it, integrate myself into the role, compared to several teachers, there is still a lot to learn." ”
Teacher Feng Enhe asked, "Xiao Zhang, I listen to your accent, like a northeasterner?" ”
"I'm from Lu Province."
Zhang Guofeng said with a smile.
"Yo, that's a fellow countryman with Director Jiang."
"Really good at talking."
Teacher Jiang Wei stroked a string of mutton skewers, and felt it: "Yu Tang, I won't tell you, before the filming started, my personal opinion was that Zeng Li was too beautiful and not suitable for the role of the heroine Cuiping, but now it seems that your vision is really good." ”
"When I gave this book to Zeng Li last year, she went to the countryside of northern Shaanxi for several months in order to play this role well."
"No wonder, that kind of rural woman's rudeness and pungency are very good, what a good actor."
Teacher Jiang Wei nodded and gave a high evaluation.
When he returned to the hotel after filming the night scene, Zhou Yutang always felt that something was wrong, and when he was taking a bath, a memory suddenly flashed in his mind.
He immediately asked Senior Brother Lin Liang about Zhang Guofeng's details.
After learning about the situation, he immediately called Uncle Hat's phone.
That night, the local police station attacked hard and directly took away the fugitive who was actually called Ji Shiguang under the pseudonym Zhang Guofeng.
"Zhou Yutang, how do you know that it is a fugitive?"
"My memory has always been very good, when I saw it during filming, I felt familiar, I felt as if I had seen it somewhere, I took a photo at night for supper, he missed an accent, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have seen the news about him wanted on TV before, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt like it, and after confirming my identity, I called the police station to confirm the identity information, and it was really him."
"You have made a great contribution, this person is very cruel and cunning, in 98 years he robbed and killed people in the street with his accomplices, and it was a sir who robbed him, and several people in the gang used knives to injure that sir into a grade 8 disability, and now he can only walk on crutches, and now he has finally been caught, I want to thank you for that colleague."
"The legal net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, this is all my business."
Zhou Yutang went to take notes, because the matter had a great impact, and the local directors took the initiative to come out and salute and thank Zhou Yutang.
"Yu Tang, I'm sorry, my fault, it won't have a negative impact on the crew, right?"
Senior Brother Lin Liang took Zhou Yutang back to the crew and apologized very panicked.
He is the Director of Production and also the Casting Director.
This Zhang Guofeng, who is also the person he recruited, is a very famous supporting role in Hengdian, and he has a good relationship with several group leaders and producers, no one expected him to have such a case record.
"It's not a big problem, just change someone."
Zhou Yutang smiled and patted Senior Brother Lin Liang's shoulder.
To say that this product is really cunning, after the team committed the crime, he ran away decisively, and the monitoring of that era was not yet popular, so he bought a fake ID card and lived with Zhang Guofeng's identity for almost ten years.
At first, I did some work selling alcohol in KTV, and I didn't dare to show up, but later I found that I didn't show my stuffing, and I went to be a temporary host on the stage.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
really made a name for him.
has played supporting roles in more than a dozen plays, and this time it is planted in the hands of Zhou Yutang.
"What a fugitive? Is that really bold, and you dare to be an actor? ”
Director Jiang Wei was also stunned, he praised his acting skills last night, and they entered the game that night.
Feng Enhe, Zhang Songwen and other leading actors are also shocked.
After so many years in the industry, I have never encountered such a strange thing.
"Hey, Shi Shi, I'm fine."
Zhou Yutang received a call from Liu Shishi when he came out and explained.
By the way, I replied to Da Meiyuan and her family who sent a message.
Last night, Zhou Yutang, who was super popular, was brought into the police station, and the media reporters squatting next to the crew were like the New Year.
The news is time-sensitive, and the next morning it was already full of news headlines from several portals, saying everything.
There are even outrageous tabloids, saying that during Zhou Yutang's filming, he encountered the official anti-pornography activity in Hengdian Three Streets.
All kinds of news spread.
In short, the heat is full.
The next day, the crew held a press conference and issued a joint statement with the police station in Hengdian.
"I don't share sin with sin!"
A photo of Zhou Yutang shaking hands with the head of the local police station made headlines.
I've seen the scandals on the headlines when celebrities are filming, but I really haven't seen celebrities on the news because of the arrest of fugitives, Yang Mi and Tang Yan are convinced, they think Zhou Yutang's luck is really good.
After such a small episode, the crew of "Latent" has gained unprecedented attention.
As for the role of "Sheng Guang" in the play, it was natural to reshoot, Zhang Songwen called and shook his good brother Zhou Yiwei to come to the rescue.
Zhou Yiwei was filming the TV series "Famous Robbery" in Hengdian, and he was just about to return to Beijing after finishing the work, and when he received the news from Zhang Songwen, he did not hesitate at all and joined the group on the same day.
Compared with Zhang Songwen who met Zhou Yutang, Zhou Yiwei's situation is not good, and the scripts he plays are all small productions, and he is overjoyed to be able to enter a big project like "Latent" this time.
In fact, this guy's acting skills are still very good, and Director Jiang Wei and Zhou Yutang are very satisfied with him.
The filming of "Latent" went well.
In May of 08, because of the incident in the southwest, the domestic atmosphere was a little heavy.
Zhou Yutang was still filming in Hengdian at this time, and he asked Sister Shuang to donate 100w in the name of the studio, and donated a large number of living materials.
Zhou Yutang watched Zhang Songwen and Teacher Feng Enhe play behind the monitor.
This scene is the one that blames Ma Kui, and it is also one of the most classic scenes in the whole play.
Stationmaster Wu looked at the secret paintings that Yu Zecheng and Lu Qiaoshan found from Ma Kui's house, and the expression on his face was extremely wonderful: "The snow mountain is cold for eternity, and it shines on Emei Peak alone, and it also takes a solo photo on a horse, which is quite romantic?" ”
"Okay, it's over! This paragraph is really amazing! ”
Director Jiang Wei, who finished filming this scene, was very excited and said to Zhou Yutang: "I have a hunch that this drama will definitely become a classic." ”
It's not just director Jiang Wei who is confident.
Several leading actors are also becoming more and more confident.
Zeng Li has been a village girl for the role of Wang Cuiping for many months, and Zhang Songwen has put in a lot of effort.
Since receiving the script of Zhou Yutang, he has not taken over the play again, and studied the character of Yu Zecheng in retreat.
analyzed his behavior pattern, as well as tone and posture, and communicated with Zhou Yutang, the author of the script, and Director Jiang Wei countless times, and finally summed up the most appropriate way of expression.
Zeng Li, who was rated as a good actor by Mr. Jiang Wei, was caught by her best friend Hu Jing when she slipped back to the room in the middle of the night: "Wow, pear beauty, I said why the door of the room is always open for no reason every other night, why don't you just live in your good brother's room every day." ”
Originally, the crew arranged single rooms for several leading actors, but Zeng Li had a good relationship with Hu Jing, her two best friends, so she specially asked for a double room.
Hu Jing was very moved.
After a while, she regretted it.
I thought Zeng Li was in a sisterly relationship with her, but I didn't expect to use her as a guise to go out at night to date a little lover.
Isn't this bullying honest people?
Zeng Li's face was also a little red: "I'm talking to the screenwriter about the script." ”
"Hehe, who talks about the script until midnight?"
Hu Jing glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, with an expression of deceitful ghosts.
Suddenly, as if he realized something, he looked at Zeng Li and smiled narrowly: "It's okay, big pear beauty, more than three hours, at the most beautiful age, I met the most powerful brother."
"How dare you talk nonsense!"
Before she finished speaking, Zeng Li had already pounced on her in annoyance.
"Mimi, "Classmates" will be broadcast on June 22nd, you remember to set aside a schedule to run publicity, Tangtang has been notified by the side, she has no problems, the script of the second season of "Classmates" has been completed, and it is ready to start filming in July."
Zhou Yutang hugged the beauty in Tsing Yi and called Da Mimi to exchange work.
The editorial department he set up began to play a role, and several rookie screenwriters such as Bao Jingjing were extremely powerful, and according to the outline given by Zhou Yutang, the script for the second season had been written, and finally handed it over to Zhou Yutang, and it was slightly revised without any problems.
In fact, the story of "Classmates" is really simple, it tells the story of the daily life of ordinary college students who are very down-to-earth, and the stories of several leading actors who grow up in their daily lives.
But simple stories also have the power to move people.
Just finished talking to Da Mimi, Zhou Yutang suddenly received a call from Li Shuang and learned another bombshell news.
(End of chapter)
