Chapter 569: Banned by the Entire Industry, Shortlisted for Cannes
"Teacher Mao Pang, how is the manuscript going?"
"It's quick, it's quick, I can get it done if I stay up all night."
As a proud full-time author and a great author of Qidian Chinese website, Maopang’s life is actually quite boring.
Not as cool as some readers might imagine.
Just type some words on the keyboard, and then make an appointment with a few friends to go to the club to explore together.
Touch your feet, help a girl who has lost her footing, and find inspiration along the way.
nonexistent.
Because online novels need to be updated every day, I spend most of my time at home working on coding.
The remaining time is spent reading novels, catching up on dramas, and binge-watching variety shows, or using the spare time to watch girl group girls for comfort.
However, "Celebrating More Than Years" became a hit out of the entertainment industry, which brought him unimaginable benefits.
The film and television adaptation rights of several other novels have been multiplied several times, and they were packaged and acquired by Jiangdong Entertainment. The money earned has been several times higher than that of "Qing Yu Nian".
At least it's enough to make Mao Pang, an otaku author with no bad habits, not have to worry about life in this life.
Now he is not only the great author of Qidian, but also has half a foot in the entertainment industry. He is currently a specially hired script consultant by Jiangdong Entertainment, and he also has a hefty salary.
Mao Pang himself was just a bit lazy at home, so he was given the ecstasy soup by Zhou Yutang, and he was immediately moved. In addition, he was curious about the process of film and television adaptation of his novel, so he took over the job of working as a screenwriter.
Only when you came did you know you were cheated.
I saw a lot of celebrities, signed autographs and took photos, and everyone called me Mr. Cat Fat when I met them. It felt so cool.
But not long after starting the production, the crew ran into trouble.
Zhou Yutang was very dissatisfied with the results of filming according to the original script and asked for a new plan.
Jiang Xuezhen handed over the task to the screenwriter team. In the past two days, everyone stayed up late and worked overtime, and Mao Pang was no exception. Even Red Bull worked on it.
"Made, Zhou Gou, if you are fooled next time, I will be the dog."
Although he complained in his heart, Mao Pang still worked conscientiously.
According to Zhou Yutang's ideas, he communicated and discussed with Wang Yun and revised the script.
After learning more about the inside story, Maopang admired Zhou Yutang's strict control over details.
Just such an adjustment would cost the crew at least several million more, and even the schedules of the leading actors would have to be coordinated.
But it is undeniable that it is this attitude of putting the audience's drama-watching experience first that has enabled Jiangdong Entertainment to repeatedly create hit film and television dramas.
"Thank you for your hard work these past two days, Teacher Mao Fatty."
"Haha, it should be."
The revised script turned out pretty good, at least in Zhou Yutang's opinion.
The focus is on advancing the main line of the story, shaping the group portraits, strategic layout, and the growth of the protagonist Fan Xian.
Gakes and jokes are just plot spices.
Looking at Mao Pang with obvious dark circles under his eyes, Zhou Yutang felt a little sorry: "Teacher Mao Pang, I have tickets for the front row of SNSD's tour concert here. After this, you can relax and go backstage. ”
"Really?"
Mao Pang's eyes widened, and his tone was full of expectation: "Then can I go backstage and take a photo with Kim Taeyeon?"
"Are you a Taeyeon fan?"
"OK."
"No problem at all."
Zhou Yutang agreed directly, which was to say hello to Yoona.
"Mr. Zhou, you are so kind."
Mao Pang touched Zhou Yutang's hand and shook it.
He is hard-hitting online and elegant and easy-going offline, nothing more than that.
After emergency revisions and adjustments to the script, the filming went smoothly.
However, while the crew was filming, something went wrong again.
The root of the matter is still the person who jumped out to speak at the Academy Awards a few days ago.
He said something he shouldn't have said, and was attacked by netizens. The subsequent turmoil even inexplicably involved Liu Shishi.
At that time, Fala Chen played a supporting role on the set of "The Detective", and she got along well with Liu Shishi.
Then, as a landlord, she took Shi Shi to various places to eat, drink and have fun in Xiangjiang. At that time, the couple happened to be at a friend's party, so she took photos of the party.
Liu Shishi has a good personality and is friendly to others. It is not surprising that he makes friends every time he joins the group.
In front of unfamiliar outsiders, he was a little shy. He was not familiar with Tian Yingni and his wife, so he didn't say a few words.
Liu Shishi, who was still filming on the set of "The Tuner", was shot while lying down this time. Unexpectedly, this photo was used by someone to make a fuss.
"The clown really takes himself seriously."
Zhou Yutang had just finished a busy day of shooting. After learning about this, he immediately called Ni Ni:
"Nini, go take care of it. I have a meeting with Director Kong."
"OK."
Ni Ni asked: "Boss, what are you going to do?"
"what to do?"
There was a cold arc at the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth: "Just follow his local customs!"
"I see."
Ni Ni didn't ask any more questions, took Zhou Yutang's mobile phone and started working. First, she called Huo Wenxi:
"Sister Mani, is it not convenient for you to talk over there?"
"Hey, it's Nini. She's in a meeting. What's wrong?"
"My boss has something to tell you."
"Wait for me a moment."
Huo Wenxi immediately made a pause gesture and came out of the conference room, a smile automatically appeared on his face: "Nini, you can talk now."
After a few words, the smile on that delicate face gradually disappeared, replaced by anger: "Tell Atang that I will handle this matter."
"Sister Mani, this time it involves Shi Shi, the boss is very angry, Jiangdong will issue a statement soon."
"Don't worry, I will give him a satisfactory explanation."
Huo Wenxi was slightly stunned, and his face gradually became solemn.
After a simple communication, he hung up the phone.
Walking into the conference room again, everyone who was still talking and laughing in private noticed that the strong woman's face was ashen, and they were suddenly silent, and the temperature around them seemed to suddenly drop to below zero.
"Dismiss!"
Huo Wenxi threw the documents in his hand, and when everyone dispersed, he made several calls in a row.
After understanding the whole story, he was so angry that his face turned ashen, and even threw the phone in his hand.
Fortunately, it was not Samsung, and it did not explode.
The assistant beside him did not dare to speak, picked up the phone, and handed it back silently.
Nicole has worked with Huo Wenxi for many years and witnessed this strong woman climb up to her current position step by step.
She is good at everything, big or small. Even if she encounters unexpected changes, she is always calm and composed. She has never seen Sister Mani get angry like this before.
Assistant Nicole hurriedly checked the information and made a detailed report.
Huo Wenxi gritted his teeth and his face became more and more ugly.
Then, he dialed Boss Yang's number.
It was only the next day that Jiangdong Entertainment officially released the news.
Dozens of film and television companies in the domestic entertainment industry also issued joint statements one after another, including the giant in Hong Kong.
The entertainment industry was shocked.
Everyone was stunned.
Zhou Yutang's move was thunderous and cut off that guy's way in the domestic entertainment industry.
This influence is too great.
"Hahaha, it's so satisfying, it's really satisfying, I found out that it has been kicked out of several projects!"
"Try it again!"
"Yinghuang's legal department seems to have taken it to court and asked it to bear the project losses."
"Du Gou died."
"The dog was barking, why isn't it barking now?"
"It doesn't matter, he has more than 600,000 fans on Instagram, he's a superstar."
"Fuck, Zhou Yutang is so cruel, he completely bans him."
"If you want to make it in the domestic entertainment industry, I suggest you read the four great classics of the entertainment industry."
"This couple is really brainless, and they dare to lead the rhythm of the first sister. Don't you know that she is Zhou Yutang's woman?"
The netizens were overjoyed, as if they had won a great victory.
But Zhou Yutang didn't really take it to heart, he just comforted Liu Shishi a little, and most of his energy was still invested in the filming of the crew.
This matter was handled by Ni Ni throughout the whole process.
When Ni Ni used Zhou Yutang's work phone to contact all parties, she truly experienced a wonderful feeling that could not be described in words.
It is said that the Jiangdong Grand Commander can turn the hand to make clouds and rain.
At this time, he was holding a little girl with two buns in his arms with a smile.
The little chubby hands held snacks, and her eyes were shining.
The chubby little face, when she smiled, had shallow dimples, which was very cute.
Even Zhou Yutang was melted by cuteness.
No one can refuse such a cute human cub.
"Uncle, do you eat White Rabbit milk candy?"
"I don't eat it, eating candy will cause tooth decay."
"Uncle, I don't have tooth decay, look." The little girl tilted her head and smiled slyly, revealing a mouthful of white millet teeth.
"What did you call me?" Zhou Yutang reacted.
"Uncle."
The little girl tilted her head, her big black eyes were clear and innocent.
"Call me brother."
The little girl's mother was watching next to her and quickly corrected her.
"It's okay, just call me uncle, I'm also old enough to be an uncle."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed, thinking of the little koi for some reason.
Back then, when she was a young man in his prime, she called him "uncle" as soon as she came up, which was really a break.
Now he is more than 20 years older than the girl, and he is indeed her uncle.
The scene shot today was at Wang Qinian's house.
Throughout the first season of Joy of Life, apart from the young Master Fan, Wang Qinian is definitely one of the audience's favorite characters.
In the second season, he still has a lot of scenes, and the setting of Wang Qinian's family background has been added.
Including Mrs. Wang played by Gao Lu, and Wang Qinian's little daughter.
For this role, there are also many people with connections who want to fill it in. In the end, Lin Liang held a nationwide audition, and then Zhou Yutang decided on the little girl.
"Mr. Zhou, let's get ready to shoot."
"Okay, little girl, don't be nervous later, okay?"
"Yes!"
After Zhou Yutang finished preparing the little actor for the psychological preparation, he asked the makeup team to come up to check the makeup.
After the stage manager cleaned up the scene and the stage supervisor played the board, the shooting officially began.
After Fan Xian returned to Beijing, he stayed at Wang Qinian's house temporarily. In the morning, the little girl opened her innocent eyes and came to call him to get up and eat breakfast before dinner.
"Is your father Wang Qinian?"
"Yes."
The little girl opened her big black eyes and nodded.
The fat little hand was holding an egg and eating it, with some egg white on the edge of his lips.
"I am a good friend of your father, you can just call me uncle."
"Uncle, you eat the egg."
The little girl smiled dimples and handed over the egg in her other hand.
"The porridge is ready."
"The porridge is ready, mother called you to eat."
This was originally a very simple scene, but the little girl herself had no acting experience.
During the filming, she laughed several times, which is normal. No one would blame such a cute girl.
Zhou Yutang couldn't help but want to rub her chubby face. Compared with the depressed atmosphere at the beginning of the filming, the air was full of joy.
"Master Xiao Fan, I am Qinian's first wife."
"Don't call me Master. I have a life-long friendship with Lao Wang. Logically, I should call you sister-in-law."
Wang Qinian himself is not good-looking, and looks like an old elm tree. But he has a beautiful little girl, who must have inherited the genes of Mrs. Wang.
Regardless of her appearance or age, Gao Lu is a beautiful queen.
She graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and has no problem with her basic acting skills.
Before joining the crew of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2", she had acted in many dramas, the most famous of which was Xue Zhili in the family drama "The Nth Power of Home".
This time, she played Mrs. Wang very well.
"Wang Qinian went out early in the morning to do things for the master, so we don't have to wait for him. He is also ignorant and told me that the master came in the morning."
"I made the porridge at home. I neglected the master."
"Don't say that. I troubled the lady."
Zhou Yutang took the porridge handed over by Gao Lu with both hands. The little girl was too lively. Her big black eyes stared at the porridge in Zhou Yutang's bowl: "There is meat!"
There are also details here.
Mrs. Wang is frugal and has her own way of entertaining guests. The porridge in her bowl is clear, but the guests' bowls have more meat.
The three of them sat opposite each other and drank porridge. The little girl was cute from time to time. Mrs. Wang taught her etiquette with a stern face.
Suddenly, Mrs. Wang gossiped: "I heard that the master had dozens of love affairs in Kyoto."
"."
The egg in Zhou Yutang's hand fell.
In addition to maintaining the plot and character of the power struggle, the appropriate warm daily life can also soothe the mood.
The sensational ban incident, with the end of the official media, nailed the last nail in his coffin.
No one would care about the life and death of such an insignificant third-tier star.
However, the official Cannes Film Festival announced the list of candidates for the main competition unit at the media conference.
Zhang Yimou's "Coming Home" will be screened in Cannes as a non-competitive screening.
A total of 19 films were shortlisted for the main competition unit, and Zhou Yutang's "Red Ling" was among them.
In a short time.
The news was like a hurricane passing through, and the domestic media exploded.
The headlines of various entertainment portals were directly locked, and the media were also competing to report.
Zhou Yutang was in the crew, closed filming and refused interviews, but still became the absolute focus.
The song of the same name of the movie "Red Ling", which became popular at IU's concert last month, is still in the top ten of major music charts.
Zhou Yutang did not over-market, but he could not resist the audience's curiosity.
Being shortlisted for the main competition unit means that you are qualified to challenge the highest honor.
In recent years, Chinese films have achieved great success at major film festivals, but it has been 21 years since anyone conquered Cannes.
Poet Chen that year was brilliant.
Zhou Yutang is now younger than him, but more ambitious.
