Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Brother Ming, it's your turn. Come on."

"Thank you, Xiaoguan."

The handsome guy from Guangxi with dyed yellow hair patted his butt, stood up from his seat and thanked his assistant.

Although it is called an open casting, there is actually extra consideration for Jiangdong’s own people.

Jiang Qiming did not participate in the preliminary audition, but got the role script and was directly admitted to the final round.

I had just finished filming "The Undocumented" and immediately caught up with this audition.

It's impossible to be nervous.

For a qualified drama actor.

This kind of audition situation is just an ordinary one.

The sunlight shines through the window, casting mottled shadows on the floor of the audition room.

Zhou Yutang made a gesture and the assistant closed the electric curtains.

"Mr. Zhou, hello to all the teachers."

Jiang Qiming closed the door and introduced himself: "My name is Jiang Qiming, and I want to audition for the role of Peng Hao."

Peng Hao, who plays Huangmao, a leukemia patient, is also an important supporting character in "Dying to Survive".

He didn't wear any makeup today, and his hair was as dry and yellow as weeds.

He wears an earring on his right ear and looks like a spirited young man from the urban-rural fringe.

Han Sanping nodded imperceptibly.

The person Zhou Yutang chose is indeed good.

There is a very clear and simple quality about this young man.

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, and the assistant director handed over the script: "Just act out this part, five minutes to prepare."

A random passage was selected from the script, which is when Huangmao first met Cheng Yong.

After three minutes of thinking, Jiang Qiming wiped his face and asked, "Can I borrow your pen?"

"Can."

It was as if he had become a different person. That young face was instantly filled with distrust of the world.

Hold the pen with your backhand like you are holding a knife.

Jiang Qiming's eyes were both alert and indifferent.

Stubborn and defensive, like a wounded beast.

Han Sanping involuntarily straightened his sitting posture.

A good actor can make the audience feel the current state of the character through body language, expression, eyes, etc. without lines.

"Well, go back and wait for notification."

Zhou Yutang held his chin with his hand and exchanged a few words with Han Sanping, who put down his pen with undisguised admiration in his eyes:

"Where did you find this treasure?"

Based on the acting skills that Jiang Qiming just demonstrated, he definitely beats those previous new generation first-line actors.

"I started out as a drama actor at the Central Academy of Drama."

"Well, this little Jiang is quite spiritual."

Han Sanping sighed: "It's a pity for that little Zhang in front."

There are quite a few people coming for the audition today.

There is also an old acquaintance who has appeared in the play "The Grand Commander".

His performance is no worse than Jiang Qiming.

But under the same conditions, the results are obvious.

Not surprisingly, this role went to Jiang Qiming.

Ying Huang's "The God of Cookery" was originally scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival.

However, after internal evaluation, it strategically retreated to the Lantern Festival period.

As expected, the box office revenue was not very ideal, barely exceeding 100 million yuan.

Compared to the production cost of 250 million.

Without a doubt, this is another bloody masterpiece.

Yinghuang is a listed company. It had previously promoted its first big 4D movie production and issued a lot of press releases, but in the end, a mess was served on the table, which has already affected the company's stock price.

As the head of Yinghuang Film and Television, Huo Wenxi must be responsible for the company's performance.

This beautiful lady couldn't hold back and came to Jiangdong at the beginning of the month.

She finally saw it clearly.

Those once glorious Hong Kong directors have been quietly abandoned by the times.

It would be worse to expect a sow to climb a tree than to expect them to accomplish anything.

The answer in the current version is the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

Fatty Wang from Hong Kong is even more cunning. Taking advantage of the post-production of "Chasing the Dragon", he goes to the Jiangdong Building every day.

Zhou Yutang is so familiar with his friends that even the Jiangdong Creative Center and several directors of Jiangdong’s family are all in hot contact with him.

"Director Wang, you are really a quick shooter. You finished the post-production so quickly."

"I work with efficiency."

Fatty Wang smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "It was even more exaggerated before. He would appear in a movie every month."

“Finished in one month?”

“It takes one month to complete the entire process.”

Fatty Wang looked at Chen Duling for a few times and said with a smile:

"Thank you for the coffee, Miss Chen."

"You're welcome. Director Wang, enjoy your meal."

Chen Duling smiled politely.

She walked away with her high ponytail swinging.

In her mind, she recalled Zhou Yutang's comments about Fatty Wang during their casual chat.

His concept of film art is very pure, just one word.

Make money, make money, and always make money.

Help the big water pipe to make money, and get a ride and eat meat at the same time.

He has been able to stick to this concept for decades without wavering, and is a rare talent in the Hong Kong circle.

"Mr. Zhou, how do you plan the schedule this year?"

After a brief greeting, Huo Wenxi went straight to the point.

Last year, Yinghuang collaborated with Jiangdong Entertainment on two films, "Chasing the Dragon" and "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City".

The action-packed "Kowloon Walled City" is still in post-production, but Fatty Wang's "Chasing the Dragon" was released first.

"Just the May Day slot."

Zhou Yutang glanced at the film schedule and said casually, "We can make a promotional plan in advance."

Jiangdong Entertainment discussed this in an internal meeting and has a complete plan for the entire schedule.

Taking advantage of the exam month in June, the company promoted and marketed the summer blockbuster "Bad Genius" and "Wolf Warrior 2".

"Chasing the Dragon", which Yinghuang had bet on and even the entire Hong Kong circle had high hopes for, could not even make it to the summer schedule.

China Film Group has scheduled "Fast and Furious 8" and "Ghost in the Shell" for early April.

The purpose is to reserve a living space for domestic films during the May Day period, which will compete with Chen Zhengdao's "The Great Hypnotist" and Herman Yau's "Shock Wave".

There is also "Love in the Buff", so the pressure is not too great.

"Ok, I'll follow your instructions."

After finishing the business, Huo Wenxi smiled and gave a belated blessing: "Atang, congratulations on Oscar winning the award."

By early March, the popularity of "Fifty Shades Darker" had gradually faded, but the global box office had already reached 343 million.

"La La Land", which won great success at the Oscars, has been a long-term box office success, with a cumulative global box office of 389 million.

It is still being screened in more than 40 markets around the world and has great potential.

With the continued promotion of TIKTOK's short video promotion channel, breaking the 400 million US dollars is a piece of cake.

There is work to do in post-production, casting needs to be busy, and poetry cannot be forgotten.

Taking time out of his busy schedule, Zhou Yutang took Liu Shishi to watch "Logan", which had just landed in the Chinese film market.

The operator of the Marvel Universe really has something.

This time there is no special effects or saving the world, but instead the focus is on character creation.

The film's rhythm and basic story are very good, especially the rugged aura unique to Hugh Jackman, which is quite stylish.

After the movie ended, the starlight from the ceiling of the Starry Sky Cinema fell down again, casting a faint glow.

"I heard that DC is going to release "Justice League" this year?"

Liu Shishi slapped away the dishonest hand in an angry manner and straightened the hem of her silk skirt.

"Probably in the second half of the year."

"Will that have any impact on your Joker?"

Suddenly, Liu Shishi noticed that Zhou Yutang was rubbing his eyebrows, and said with concern.

She's actually not that interested in any popcorn superhero movies.

But since my man actually took over the superhero project, I decided to learn more about it.

Fans of DC superheroes have complained a lot about Warner's outrageous operations, which made her worried that Zhou Yutang would be affected.

"It will have an impact, but not a big one. It will all depend on our abilities."

Zhou Yutang discovered that when Liu Shishi turned sideways and raised her head, the pearl earring on the side of her ear was particularly dazzling.

That porcelain white neck and clavicle line.

There's an inexplicable sexiness to her, like a gentle wife.

I couldn't help but move closer and give her a gentle kiss on the earlobe.

A blush instantly appeared on Liu Shishi's crystal white ears. She pushed Zhou Yutang away in annoyance and glared at him.

The light in those eyes seemed to be overflowing.

Like a pool of spring water, it wants to speak but cannot.

In fact, no matter how capable Zack Snyder is, Warner's layout for the DC Universe is characterized by urgency.

It took Marvel 18 movies to build the Avengers pyramid, and only then did it begin to harvest sentiments from around the world.

Warner wants to go straight to the top with just four movies. How is that possible?

"Logan" grossed over 100 million yuan on the first day, taking over the gap in the Chinese film market after the Spring Festival.

At the same time, Marvel producers revealed at an event that the "Avengers: Infinity War" project will soon start filming in Atlanta.

Among them, superheroes such as Star Force, Spider-Man, and Iron Man have joined in, and the total budget of the entire movie is as high as 1 billion US dollars!

This news was earth-shattering and caused a sensation in the global film and television industry.

"Oh my god, a movie costs 7 billion RMB!?"

"I heard that Robert Downey Jr. alone was paid $100 million for the film."

Before this, the movie with the highest budget in the global film and television industry was Captain Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", which cost about 378.5 million US dollars.

This time Marvel's "Infinity War" was actually shot in one go and cut into two films, "Avengers" series 3 and 4.

Even so, it is still amazing enough.

This happened at a time when China Film Corporation announced a list of imported films, which caused a huge wave of controversy in the country.

Excluding "Fast and Furious 8", "Ghost in the Shell", "Despicable Me 3", "War for the Planet of the Apes" and "Transformers 5".

Others include "Blade Runner 2049", "Geocoast", "Thor 3: Ragnarok", "Murder on the Orient Express", "Justice League" and so on.

All of them are strong players.

All of them are fierce movies.

A number of domestic film and television companies cried out that the wolf was coming.

It is said that the crying child gets the milk.

The market has finally gotten better, but the cake is so small that if these imported blockbusters take a bigger bite, domestic films will have one less bite.

In just the past few days, many film and television companies have written to the General Administration.

The public was outraged and complained that there were too many imported films, which squeezed the market space for domestic films.

Many experts also stood up and criticized La Peikang in the media for letting in wolves and making the survival environment of domestic films even more difficult.

The current head of China Film Group, Mr. La, is so busy that he has finally experienced the joy that Zuo Shandiao felt back then.

"Haha, he will have a headache in the future."

Han Sanping smiled with glee.

After he stepped down from his position in the middle shadow.

Several of his old subordinates were soon transferred from key positions.

It is unclear whether the new people are capable or not, but they all stand on Pei Kang's side.

A new emperor appoints new ministers, it's just like that.

Zhou Yutang is personally in charge of the casting of "Dying to Survive", and the progress is progressing very quickly.

The role of Lu Shouyi fell to Wang Chuanjun.

This person is quite controversial and he is from Huayi, but in terms of his acting skills.

There is indeed no one more suitable for the role of Lu Shouyi than him, not even Zhang Ruojun.

"Brother Tang, do you think I still have a chance?"

Zhang Ruojun, who was full of confidence, was suppressed by the iron-faced and impartial commander-in-chief.

When the three brothers were having a small gathering, Xigou looked as sad as Qin Xianglian who was abandoned by Chen Shimei.

"Do you think you are Zhang Dongsheng?"

"Who is Zhang Dongsheng?"

"Nothing, this is a character from Zijin Chen's novel."

Zhou Yutang clinked glasses with Zhu Yilong, and a thought occurred to him: "If you want to join in the fun, there's a role here."

"No problem."

Zhang Ruojun's eyes lit up and he showed his signature husky smile.

"It's just a cameo, not a big part."

"Brother Tang, I have to say something to you. What's wrong with not having many scenes? You know that there is no big or small role, right?"

"So high level of awareness?"

"That's a must."

Zhang Ruojun patted his chest, as if he was the real Lord Bao Yijing: "I will definitely help you through any difficulties."

"No problem, then you play the role of nightclub manager."

"Don't worry, I don't often go to Club Mix, Babyface, Tang Club, Mingmen, PH"

Zhang Ruojun raised his chin and said, "Even though you haven't seen a pig run, you have eaten pork. Leave it to me."

Zhou Yutang gave Jingye a thumbs up and said, "When we went to the bar, did Tang Yixin ask you to kneel down on the keyboard?"

"What does a woman have to do with men's business? It's easy for me to handle it."

“.”

Zhu Yilong almost spit out his wine when he saw Zhang Ruojun's proud look.

In fact, he was originally quite interested in the challenging role of Lu Shouyi and had read the script in advance.

I remember the supporting role of a nightclub manager, there was a scene where he danced solo with a pole in his arms in a very seductive way.

Zhou Yutang took a look at the current progress and found that except for Liu Sihui, everything else had basically been decided.

The role of this low-income single mother and pole dancer in a nightclub is indeed quite difficult.

Not only does the actress need to build enough emotional tension between maternal instinct and the dignity of survival, but most importantly, she needs to be able to pole dance.

What serious actor would learn this?

The Hurun Global Rich List has been announced again.

Apart from Bill Gates who retained his title as the richest man with $56 billion, Wanda's Wang still holds the title of the richest Chinese.

Mr. Ma of Alibaba is also very popular, including the CEO of SF Express, which started out as a courier company.

But the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Zhou Yutang, who is a big name in the entertainment industry.

He made it into the top 100 for the first time, surpassing Ma Sheng.

Many of his acquaintances and even old fans know about it.

Zhou Yutang has always been extremely low-key in matters like this and never shows off.

The statistics on the rich list are not completely accurate, and no one knows how much money he actually made.

Ma Sheng, who was suppressed, was also a person who didn't want to be lonely.

Ever since we last met in Hollywood, it seemed like he had made up his mind to build a relationship.

He just said he would come to China for inspection, and then Depp's ex-wife was exposed by Hollywood paparazzi.

Before Amber Heard divorced, she was already on vacation in Miami Beach with Ma Sheng.

A green hat was placed on the captain's head.
