Chapter 291 The tragic song embroiders the spring knife with a heroic appearance, and makes a cameo appearance as Fan Xiaopang
Lu Yang is the senior brother of Zhou Yutang Film Academy.
His father is a professor of Chinese opera, and he has been influenced by his father since he was a child, coupled with his own talent, he took on some short films when he was still in college, and he is well-known in the director circle.
After receiving a call from Tian Xiangzhuang, his heart beat uncontrollably, and almost without the slightest hesitation, he ran to Tian Xiangzhuang's office as soon as possible.
"Coming here so soon?"
Tian Xiangzhuang was also a little surprised, and it was only ten minutes after the phone call.
Zhou Yutang didn't even finish reading the script, everyone had already arrived.
"Teacher Tian, Teacher Wang, Mr. Zhou is good."
Lu Yang gasped heavily.
His appearance is a little old-fashioned, but it can be seen that he is not the type who is good at interpersonal communication, after knocking on the door and coming in, he saw two teachers talking to Zhou Yutang, a little restrained, but also very polite to greet one by one:
"I rented a house next to the school, not far away, and I came over after receiving a call from Mr. Tian."
He came at a gallop with the speed of a sprint.
Zhou Yutang, the God of Wealth, saw the head and the end, and it was rare for him to come to school, so he was really afraid that he would slip away.
"Brother Yang, I'm waiting for you."
Zhou Yutang also greeted warmly, and it was not the first time he and Lu Yang had met.
Lu Yang's debut and won the KNN Award in the New Wave Unit of the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, which was funded by the new director support fund he allocated to the Film Academy.
seemed to see that Lu Yang was a little restrained, and Zhou Yutang took the initiative to get up and pour him a glass of water.
Tian Xiangxiang and Wang Jinsong looked at each other and smiled.
I have to say.
Whether it is talking or doing things, or receiving people and things, Zhou Yutang does a good job.
In a few words, Lu Yang's state gradually relaxed.
Everyone is their own people, and there is no polite greeting.
"Brother Yang."
Zhou Yutang took the initiative to lead the topic: "Mr. Tian always mentions you to me, saying that you are a rare talent in the directing department, I haven't finished reading this script yet, but I can see that it is written very carefully and the standard is very good." ”
It's not that I deliberately praise him.
The script called "Embroidered Spring Knife" in Lu Yang's hand really made Zhou Yutang's eyes shine.
The story is simple.
It is about the last years of the Ming Dynasty After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he started to cut off the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian and his henchmen, and the three brothers of Jinyi Wei Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan, who were at the bottom, were forced to get involved in this political incident.
The rolling tide of the big time is intertwined with the fate of the little people.
In the midst of the intrigue and treachery, I saw brotherhood and tragedy.
After reading the script together, the conversation was very exciting, it was already time for dinner, the two teachers had a meeting in the afternoon, and Zhou Yutang and Lu Yang went outside to find a hotel box to chat in detail.
Lu Yang's expression was full of hope: "Mr. Zhou, how is it?" ”
"Brother Yang, just call me Yu Tang."
Zhou Yutang chuckled and asked: "I personally think that this script is very good, made into a movie, the market effect should be good, Brother Yang, how did you come up with the idea of writing the script of "Jinyiwei"?" ”
simply gave a positive evaluation, which made Lu Yang a little flattered.
He wouldn't treat Zhou Yutang as a simple film school student.
But his script was able to get his positive evaluation, and Lu Yang's face unconsciously bloomed with a smile: "I was suddenly inspired when I watched a movie." ”
"At that time, I thought that a story about a young samurai falling in love with a doctor's daughter should be very interesting, so that there were characters first, and later, I felt that the flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife had a very unique beauty, at that time I wanted to make a good-looking costume film, and the theme of Jin Yiwei had a head, and then discussed with my friends the specific character setting, plot direction, plot clues and other things in the general structure and general direction, and a friend helped me a lot, that is, Chen Shu who helped me make "Blind Cinema"
"We slowly wrote the script together, and in fact, this script has been working on it since last year. Chen Shu and I, I wrote one draft, she wrote another draft, and then got together, so that we repeatedly scrutinized the setting plot, and slowly saved up the current script. ”
"I read the budget project book, and I plan to invest 20 million?"
Zhou Yutang flipped the script to the end.
Lu Yang really worked hard.
In addition to writing this script, I also made the budget plan for the entire film project.
Speaking of the key point, Lu Yang hurriedly answered: "Ideally, 20 million can be filmed, of course, the cost can be further reduced, the costumes and props do not need to be so elaborate, then about 1500 to 18 million, it can be made, theoretically speaking, the effect should be similar."
Although Zhou Yutang is a few years younger than him.
But at this time, Lu Yang's mood was really a little apprehensive.
If the film and television industry is about qualifications.
It's not that easy for a rookie director to come up with a top.
When he opened his mouth, he was an investment of 20 million, and he was afraid that he would scare Zhou Yutang away.
"Brother Yang."
Zhou Yutang closed the script, smoothed the folds, shook his head and smiled: "You shouldn't have signed a company yet, right?" ”
"Nope."
Hearing this, Lu Yang's heart pounded.
He got the information released to him by Zhou Yutang very accurately.
"Are you interested in signing a contract with Koto Entertainment?"
Poured a glass of beer for Lu Yang, Zhou Yutang glanced at his expression quietly, and began to draw a tempting flatbread,
"Brother Yang, everyone is their own people, to be honest, the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is good, I have a very good appetite, I can invest, the budget is 40 million for you, and there is only one requirement: to make it a high-quality product."
"Fuhua Dao must be close to history, so as to be fine, and when the time comes, I will invite experts in Ming history to come over and join your team to help you supplement the details of the script."
"When the time comes, if the box office is within expectations, I plan to make a series of movies."
“.”
The seductive flatbread decisively knocked Lu Yang unconscious.
Hearing that Zhou Yutang directly doubled his budget, his brain was buzzing, and he felt so excited that he was about to run out of oxygen.
After painting the cake, leaving Lu Yang a certain amount of time to digest, Zhou Yutang asked for a long time: "Brother Yang, what do you think?" ”
Zhou Yutang is famous for not mixing in circles, but now Jiangdong film and television culture is already a banner in the Beijing film and television circle.
The ancients said that good birds choose trees to perch, Lu Yang wants to realize his ideals and ambitions, Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Company can provide him with a good stage, Wen Muye is following Zhou Yutang to do things, and now he is about to take charge of his first film project, and he is also a well-known newcomer director in the circle.
With Wen Muye Zhuyu in front, Lu Yang faced Zhou Yutang's invitation and agreed without the slightest hesitation.
He drank the glass of beer on the table and said: "Yu Tang, I don't have any problems here, but when the time comes, I want to bring Chen Shu and a few friends into the group together, they are very professional, and they are all old team members of "Blind Cinema" with me."
"Of course you can, if they don't sign the company now, you can also come with Brother Yang."
"Really?"
Lu Yang was pleasantly surprised.
"When the time comes, you go directly to the company to find Lin Xiong from the film business department, and he will arrange it."
Zhou Yutang's eyebrows rose slightly, and he was slightly happy in his heart.
If Jiangdong Entertainment wants to develop, it can't just rely on him to carry it alone.
Recruiting talent is essential.
I thought it would be a surprise to receive Lu Yang, but I didn't expect that there would be a buy one get one free.
Lu Yang also has his own small circle of contacts, and the "Blind Cinema" was made by him, Chen Shu and a few friends.
To be able to win the award at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, there is no doubt about the professional ability of this team, and it can be useful to fill the team with a little training in the future.
And so it goes.
In the near future, Jiangdong Entertainment will have another professional behind-the-scenes team.
One is to feel the power of capital and deliberately move closer.
The other is to receive a powerful worker and feel happy.
These two people are also going in both directions.
The film project was decided at a small restaurant outside the school.
With such a relationship, the distance between the two people has been shortened a lot.
They are all professional in film and television, and they are all talking about topics in the film and television industry.
Lu Yang listened to Zhou Yutang talking eloquently, and was secretly impressed.
Before he had dealt with Zhou Yutang, he, like his classmates in the film school, was actually a little curious.
Zhou Yutang has achieved such a career in a short period of time.
But after today's in-depth exchanges, Lu Yang's heart became more and more respectful.
Zhou Yutang's professional ability is indeed very strong, especially some of his insights and opinions on the film and television industry, which makes him feel enlightened and inspired.
Pity.
Zhou Yutang is a busy man, and when he received a call, he had something to do temporarily, so he withdrew first.
Lu Yang stayed in this small restaurant by himself, looking at his script, and only felt that he was inexplicably happy.
Ton! Ton! Ton!
blew a whole bottle of snowflake beer on the table, and called Chen Shu, who was not far away, and a few friends also called over,
"You come with me and sign a contract with Jiangdong Entertainment."
"Where you go, we will go, Zhou Yutang really wants to invest 40 million?"
"What he says must count, and he won't make such a joke on me."
"I'm Cao, Zhou Yutang is awesome!"
"It's 40 million as soon as you make a move, when are we going to do it?!"
There is also a flame called ambition burning in the eyes of the friends.
"Tomorrow, we will go to Jiangdong Entertainment to sign a contract, and then Yu Tang will invite experts in Ming history to come over and make the details of the script real, when will it start, and when the time comes, listen to the company's arrangement, Jiangdong Entertainment will definitely open more than one play."
Lu Yang has the style of a general, and immediately made proper arrangements.
"So what are you waiting for? Cheers! ”
Several beer bottles collided together.
Make a crisp sound.
It is the wonderful harmony of dreams and ambitions.
The 18th University Student Film Festival Awards Ceremony was held in Beijing in mid-May.
Zhou Yutang came early, and before the red carpet ceremony, he went backstage first.
For a café like his, the organizer had prepared a separate lounge for him backstage.
Xu Guangtou took his friends to come over to say hello first, and saw that Zhou Yutang was chatting happily with Fan Xiaopang, Fan Xiaopang was still laughing and trembling, and stretched out his hand to gently hit Zhou Yutang.
A question mark slowly emerged from the shiny bald head.
Slightly stunned at the door for a few seconds.
Just as he was thinking about whether he should quit, Zhou Yutang's eyes had already looked over.
"Yu Tang, Binbin is also here."
Xu Guangtou laughed embarrassedly: "Hehe" laughed twice: "I entered the wrong room." ”
He reacted quickly, but the idea of "I won't disturb your good things" was written on his face, which made Zhou Yutang a little speechless: "Come in, I just told Teacher Fan about your movie, didn't you say that you were going to invite a popular female star to make a cameo, I found it for you, what do you think of Teacher Fan?" ”
Zhou Yutang and Fan Xiaopang really didn't do anything bad today.
Everyone hasn't seen each other for a while, and when they meet on this occasion, they just sit backstage and chat and joke.
When Xu Guangtou heard this, his eyes behind the lenses lit up instantly, and he didn't care about disturbing or not, with a polite smile: "It would be great if Teacher Fan could come." ”
Xu Guangtou is extremely enthusiastic about the first film he is about to direct.
As long as there is no itinerary, I will run to Jiangdong Entertainment every day.
It just so happened that Ning Hao's bad monkey was also in the Jiangdong Building, either talking about the script in the Jiangdong Entertainment screenwriting department, or harassing Ning Hao.
In such a hurry to work day and night, the script of "Thai Embarrassment" was finally made, and the plot of the movie was very simple, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiao, and Huang Bo went abroad to Thailand, and encountered "enemy" snipers along the way, staging a ridiculous story.
continues the relaxed and funny style of "People in Embarrassment", and a popular female star appears at the end of the script, which can be regarded as an easter egg and surprise for the audience.
At this stage, the domestic entertainment industry talks about the popular top female stars.
Fan Xiaopang, who is at the peak of his appearance, said second, and no one dared to say first.
She doesn't have to act, she is absolutely eye-catching when she goes to that station.
Xu Guangtou immediately remembered Fan Binbin, and also told Zhou Yutang a few times, but he didn't expect Zhou Yutang to do it so easily.
"Don't call me Teacher Fan, just call me Binbin."
Fan Xiaopang glanced at Zhou Yutang quite amorously, and asked with interest: "Director Xu, when will this movie start?" ”
"This, I want to ask Yu Tang."
Xu Zheng looked at Zhou Yutang with a blank eye, and the latter laughed softly: "The film will start in July and August at the latest, you don't have many scenes, take a few days to come over and make a cameo." ”
"I'm fine."
Fan Xiaopang readily agreed.
"People in Embarrassment" was the biggest dark horse in last year's Chinese New Year, and this year's "Thai Embarrassment" heard that even Zhou Yutang participated in the screenwriting work.
is ready to be released in this year's Lunar New Year, and there must be a fire to continue the momentum of the previous part.
Such an opportunity.
Even if Zhou Yutang didn't open this mouth, Xu Guangtou would invite him through normal channels, and Fan Xiaopang, who was super ambitious, would not miss it.
Seeing Zhou Yutang talking and laughing, he pulled Fan Binbin over, Xu Guangtou knew that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, and when he thought that the Thai movie lineup was getting stronger and stronger, and there would be another gimmick for publicity at that time, he laughed to himself.
It wasn't until he noticed Zhou Yutang's eyes glancing behind him that Xu Guangtou suddenly remembered that he had brought a friend over, and hurriedly took the initiative to introduce:
"Yu Tang, Binbin, this is Yang Qing, the director of "Nightclub", and this is Kimi"
This Kimi is not the little guy who sang Little Star in "Where Are You Going, Dad".
