China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 683 The collective commotion of female stars

There are rumors in the underworld.

The Grand Commander of Jiangdong will have his final audition in the next few days.

To determine the heroine of his new play.

The casting scope is not limited to China.

Even South Korean and Japanese entertainment companies heard the news and submitted information of their popular female stars.

Even Telander Entertainment is pushing actresses to audition.

In a short while, press releases were everywhere.

The industry once again witnessed the terrifying influence of Asia's top star Zhou Yutang.

It is no exaggeration to say that acting with Zhou Yutang is equivalent to a huge amount of traffic.

If you can get the bonus, maybe you can bring a newcomer with you and make him a top star on the spot.

Take a step back.

You have nothing to lose by trying.

The bushes below the Jiangdong Building were filled with entertainment reporters who had heard the news.

Everyone carries a filming equipment on their shoulders, waiting to capture first-hand information.

This is definitely material for hot search headlines, so we naturally can't miss it.

The outside world was in turmoil and very lively, but Zhou Yutang just remained calm.

After finishing the roadshow promotion, he immediately returned to the post-production of "Detective Chinatown 3".

In addition, some energy was also devoted to the casting of "The Lonely and Great God".

After several rounds of auditions and preliminary screening, he immediately entered the final casting stage.

In the office, Zhou Yutang took the tablet handed to him by Lin Liang.

In the past, Lin Liang would always be in his office, screening resumes with a knife-slicing technique, and in a blink of an eye, he would have several large boxes of eliminated actors' resumes.

Now with the development of the times, the casting model has also been updated.

Seeing Zhou Yutang's eyes drooping for a few seconds, Lin Liang's heart moved slightly, and he raised his buttocks on the sofa: "Mr. Zhou, is there any problem?"

"These princesses are all well chosen."

Zhou Yutang smiled faintly and expressed his approval of Lin Liang's work.

The homepage features Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi.

These are all good talents that Jiangdong Entertainment has been investigating for a long time, and they have good qualifications.

Especially Zhou Ye, his performance in "The Accidental Murderer" was praised even by Wen Muye.

There was also a girl named Wang Rongran, who he played the video for several times and felt vaguely familiar with.

"Teacher Yu means that he thinks Zhou Ye is good."

While Lin Liang was speaking, he kept an eye on Zhou Yutang's expression: "Boss, what do you think?"

"Then let's follow Teacher Yu's idea."

Zhou Yutang looked normal and nodded slightly.

Sister Yu liked this drama very much. She personally cleared the review process and also participated in most of the early preparations.

This princess role is the hero’s sister in his previous life. Although she doesn’t have many scenes, there is still room for her to develop.

Yu Feihong likes Zhou Ye, so just use her.

Zhou Yutang tapped the tablet several times and set the age filter criteria.

It very intuitively presents the multi-dimensional graphics results of actresses who are suitable for the heroine conditions.
[Zhou Dongyu, character image fit 92 points, acting performance 95 points, overall evaluation AA+]

[Gui Lunmei, character image fit 84 points, acting performance 93 points, overall evaluation A]

[Ke Jiayan, character image fit 80 points, acting performance 91 points, overall evaluation A-]

[Kim Go-eun, character image fit 92 points, acting performance 88 points, overall evaluation A+]

【Zhang Yuxi, overall evaluation B】

【Chen Yao, overall evaluation A-】

【Chen Yuqi, overall evaluation B+】

"."

This is a system developed with the help of ByteDance. It contains a detailed database of actors and performance videos from previous rounds of auditions.

This would save Zhou Yutang a lot of time and also give him a preliminary impression.

Gui Lunmei and Ke Jiayan are both actresses in their thirties, which is a bit of a stretch.

But it is undeniable that some women just look young, and even when they are 30 years old they look no different from school girls.

Moreover, the most important thing is their own expression of the role.

As one of the new generation of top-tier actresses in Taiwan, Gui Lunmei was recognized by the casting directors purely because of her hard work.

Apart from Ke Jiayan and Gui Lunmei, there are many familiar actresses and some unfamiliar ones.

Zhou Yutang put down the tablet and said calmly, "Everyone on the notification list should prepare to come and participate in the final audition."

The National Day holiday is over, and the momentum of "Now You See Me 2", the dominant film in the National Day holiday, has finally declined, with the single-day box office dropping to million.

But La Peikang intends to push up the box office, so movies such as "Ant-Man" and "The Little Prince" are scheduled for the second half of the month.

It was Disney's "Inside Out" that first landed on the domestic film market.

The film grossed $3.53 million in North America, but was unexpectedly a flop in China, with only $2588 million on the first day.

"It looks like the box office could be even higher."

Zhou Yutang took a look at the October schedule and found that apart from a few imported blockbusters, there was basically nothing worth watching.

"Old Guo, shouldn't you give me a big red envelope?"

"Mosquito, can you help me with the post-production tonight? I have something else to do."

"OK."

Thinking of the news that Yijie had finished filming a drama, Wen Muye pushed his glasses consciously and agreed readily.

Capital International Airport.

Liu Shishi wore a white baseball cap and sunglasses that almost covered half of her face.

Dragging a suitcase in his hand and wearing a pair of white sneakers, his steps were so fast that it seemed like he was jogging and he walked with the wind.

Taozi, who was behind, was also pushing a box and moving her short legs, trying hard to catch up.

Next to him was a plain-looking bodyguard wearing a black suit, his figure as straight as a javelin, exuding some military temperament, looking around.

The reporters who had received the news in advance raised their cameras in a professional manner.

Despite the long journey, a warm smile instantly appeared on Liu Shishi's face.

"Shi Shi, what do you think of working with Director Liu on Dawn of War?"

"Well, Director Liu is a very capable director. I have learned a lot from him." Liu Shishi responded with a smile.

"Can you tell me a little bit about your next trip?"

The reporter followed closely and continued to dig deeper: "Did you return to Beijing this time to audition for Zhou Yutang's new play?"

"Haha, this needs to be kept secret!"

Liu Shishi herself has a bit of social anxiety and is often slow to react, so she is actually not very good at dealing with this kind of situation.

I used to get stuck during interviews frequently, but after being influenced by Zhou Yutang for so many years, I can handle it even if I am not very good at networking or speaking eloquently.

He briefly answered a few questions, waved goodbye to fans at the airport, and got into a luxury Mercedes-Benz business car that was parked there.

The driver was a member of Wang Qiang's security team and a retired soldier. He drove Liu Shishi towards Jiangdong Entertainment.

Zhou Yutang was doing post-production, but she didn't disturb him and chatted with Mao Xiaoyu, Ni Ni and others.

When it was evening and Zhou Yutang finished work early, she followed him like a little bird, enjoying the long-lost sweetness.

As one of the top 85 flowers, Shi Shi is still very busy. She can only stay in Beijing for two days after finishing filming here, and then she will leave for Paris Fashion Week to watch the show.

When I come back, there are several business endorsement announcements that need to be re-shot, and I have more than a dozen scripts to be finalized.

After a romantic dinner arranged in advance.

When we got home, we started kissing each other in the car.

We kept kissing until we got into the elevator.

Get out of the elevator.

They kept kissing until the door opened.

The fiery breath hit Zhou Yutang's face, as if carrying some kind of fragrance.

Move gently and go deeper gradually.
Liu Shishi was intoxicated by the pleasant smell of Zhou Yutang, which was like sunshine.

very warm.

It also feels very safe.

She slightly raised her swan-like, slender, white neck.

The black lace shoulder straps drooped softly from the snowy shoulders.
Zhou Yutang has enough patience towards women.

Especially Shi Shi, her position in his heart has always been different.

He witnessed her transformation from an innocent girl to a woman.

The youthfulness in her now seems to have been precipitated and fermented over time, gradually turning into an intoxicating wine.

A hot bath for two is also something that needs to be prepared in advance.

I don’t know if it’s the fresh, sweet scent of orange blossom from the Cire Trudon scented candle in the bathroom.

Or maybe the niche but expensive Aurum d'Angkor Spa perfume oil is particularly soothing and relaxing, or maybe the fresh jasmine petals are natural and pleasant enough.

In short.

Zhou Yutang really enjoys this state.

Life is not only about busy work, but also about reciting poetry in the water.

The two of them snuggled up to each other tenderly, chatting about the little things they encountered in each other's lives and work.

Liu Shishi was also more relaxed than ever before.

With her hair tied up like a flower bud, she curled up in Zhou Yutang's arms like a cat, and chattered to Zhou Yutang about her filming experience at the Chedun Film and Television Base in Shanghai over the past few months.

It seemed as if all the tiredness had just been swept away.

That beautiful face looked even gentler.

This kind of thing is not only enjoyed by men, she also felt the indescribable happiness and satisfaction.

"Dear, Mimi and Tangtang both asked me, how is the casting for your new play going?"

"Teacher Yu is watching it. The casting will probably be decided in the next few days and filming will start next month."

Zhou Yutang's fingers lingered on Liu Shishi's slender waist.

Da Mimi and Tang Yan had already asked about the roles, and had even privately asked Lin Liang for information more than once.

It's nothing more than trying to push someone from his own company to a higher position.

These two beauties in Fairy Sword are quite interesting. They loved and hated each other last year.

Then one signed Chen Yao and the other signed Chen Yuqi, and they became rivals again.

From now on, Chen Yao undoubtedly has the upper hand. This year, her role as Yue Qiluo in the Jiangdong web drama "Wuxin: The Monster Killer" added a lot of points to her.

"Do you think they have a chance?"

"There is a chance, but it's not very likely. Chen Yao is too tall, and Chen Yuqi's temperament is not quite right. She doesn't quite fit the role. Let's try it first and see what Teacher Yu thinks."

Zhou Yutang said truthfully.

The two were chatting, and Liu Shishi was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly saw a piece of news and let out a low cry.

"what happened?"

Zhou Yutang pulled over to take a look, his eyebrows slightly raised.

The handsome Luo Cheng on the white horse and silver spear in Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Holy Lord of the Seven Nights in A Chinese Ghost Story, the Fourth Master in Startling by Each Step, and Bibala Zhao Jingzhong in Blade of the Assassin.

I posted a short essay on Weibo.

Others post short essays to give out all kinds of concrete evidence.

He publicly apologized for his recent provocation and disturbance.

A few months ago, Nie Yuan and a few friends had a small gathering in the evening after participating in the recording of a variety show.

As a result, he drank too much horse urine and somehow got into a conflict with a taxi driver in front of the hotel.

Moreover, they would start fighting if they disagreed with something.

Three people beat one, and beat up the driver. After this incident came out, the Internet was in an uproar, and Nie Yuan's reputation quickly fell.

"Sentenced: 7 months, suspended for one year."

Liu Shishi also sighed: "I felt that he was quite polite when he was on the crew. I didn't expect that he would do such a thing."

"There are too many people who judge others by their appearance."

Given her relationship with Zhou Yutang, she is naturally surrounded by good people.

Zhou Yutang sent a message to Lu Yang.

Fortunately, there is no scene involving Zhao Jingzhong in the prequel to the film series "Assassins 2".

Nie Yuan’s acting skills are good and he is very dedicated when filming.

But there are many actors with good acting skills in the entertainment industry, and there are also many dedicated ones.

There are national laws and regulations.

The above has issued a red-headed document, and there is a rule in the current film and television industry:
Anyone who engages in prostitution, drug abuse, or commits illegal or criminal acts will be classified as a bad artist.

He will no longer have the chance to participate in Jiangdong's film and television projects.

Wow! Wow!
The tail wheels of the small suitcase dragged on the ground, making a series of light noises on the floor.

After changing into slippers and walking into the room, Zhang Ruolan showed an envious expression on her face: "This house is really nice."

She has no residence in the capital.

So this time when I came to Beijing to shoot, I stayed at a friend’s house.

She doesn't have many connections in the entertainment industry, and Zhang Yuxi happens to be one of them.

Both of them are internet celebrities. They met during the shooting of a new series for the Yu Sheng clothing online store. They hit it off unexpectedly and became besties.

"Not bad, it's not bad. For it, we've returned to the time before liberation." Zhang Yuxi, with her hair tied up and wearing home pajamas, took the suitcase from her hand.

"At least he has a house in Beijing. He is definitely a winner in life. Thank you, Xibao."

Zhang Ruolan felt the elasticity of the leather sofa, took the sparkling water from Zhang Yuxi, unscrewed the bottle and took a sip.

She remembered the news she saw not long ago.

This simple-style house is decorated in a very stylish way, and it can be seen that the Wanda prince put a lot of thought into it.

At that time, Xiao Wang paid for the decoration of their love nest, but they broke up naturally later. Now he has another girlfriend who is an internet celebrity and runs a Taobao store.

Her dream of marrying into a wealthy family was shattered and her best friend was ridiculed by everyone.

No matter what others say, in Zhang Ruolan's opinion, at least at the age of 23, he is able to buy a house in Beijing with his own ability, which is absolutely worthy of admiration.

As she spoke, Zhang Yuxi took Zhang Ruolan to her room.

I originally wanted to take my best friend out to eat something delicious, but when she saw there were still dishes in the kitchen, she tied on an apron and showed off her cooking skills.

Zhang Yuxi was stunned: "Nannan, you can cook?"

“It’s simple, but I can still do it.”

Zhang Ruolan took off her apron, snapped her fingers, and smiled brightly: "Let's eat!"

A dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a dish of stir-fried beef, and a dish of seaweed egg drop soup.

perfect!

At least in Zhang Yuxi's opinion, it was more delicious than the takeout she usually ate, so she simply cleaned up the kitchen.

After washing up, I lay on the bed and watched Nirvana in Fire, chatting casually, "Nannan, how long will you stay in Beijing this time?"

"I don't know. Teacher Gao Ming will be free the day after tomorrow. We will shoot for a whole day. I bought a special flight ticket for the day after tomorrow at midnight."

"Oh my god, you are too frugal. Woman, you should be nicer to yourself."

Zhang Yuxi was speechless, and stretched out her hand to attack Zhang Ruolan, which triggered a series of gentle giggles and slight anger: "Hey, what are you doing!

"I'm going to die, stop touching me."

After playing around in the bed for a while, Zhang Ruolan finally stopped and asked, "Xibao, what are your plans for the next few days?"

"I have an audition tomorrow, so I have to get up early to do my makeup. I used a lot of connections to get an appointment with a senior stylist from Irene's studio. She knows the taste of the Grand Commander."

"You want to improve too much, don't you?"

"That is required."

Zhang Yuxi said confidently: "Tomorrow, I will be the best in the whole place and I will overwhelm those little bitches!"

This is what Zhang Yuxi said.

But when she arrived at Jiangdong Entertainment, she still felt a little uneasy.

She had a hot relationship with Wanda's Xiao Wang, which attracted a lot of traffic. She broke into the entertainment industry and also starred in several film and television dramas.

But in front of those imposing young stars in the entertainment industry, she seems a little inferior.

Who are the people who come to audition?
Zhao Shan from Taiyang, with a little yellow duck.

Zeng Jia from Mixing Media brought Yue Qiluo, who became popular some time ago.

People from Tianyu brought Shen Yue, a newcomer who is known for her beauty.

Seeing commercial vehicles parked at the gate of Jiangdong, celebrities and artists walked down from them, and the entertainment reporters took photos from all angles.

"Isn't this Kasumi Arimura from Japan? I heard she played the Japanese version of Bouquet of Love and became an instant hit."

"Wow, Nanase Nishino from Nogizaka46 is here too. She's pretty, but can she act too?"

"Kim Ji-won from South Korea, man, this one is so beautiful."

"I heard that Pei Yun from Jiangdong Branch will also bring Li Zhien to audition in a couple of days!"

There was originally an entertainment reporter interviewing her, but when the big fish came in, Zhang Yuxi was suddenly ignored, which was more or less awkward.

The entertainment industry is so real.

What about Xiao Wang’s ex-girlfriend? That’s all old news and not worth mentioning.

How could it be more newsworthy than the fact that the Grand Commander caused a collective riot among female celebrities from many countries?
"Xibao, let's go."

Zhang Ruolan noticed that Zhang Yuxi's smile was a little stiff, so she shook her hand and encouraged her, "Come on, you will definitely succeed."

"Ah."

Zhang Yuxi felt warm in the heart and smiled back.

There were staff from Jiangdong Entertainment signing in at the door. After verifying my identity, I went to the third floor under the guidance of the staff.

The downstairs was as lively as a market, and the audition area on the third floor was even more lively.

The artists from each company found a seat in the room and sat down. Zhang Ruolan saw Zeng Jia and Chen Yao sitting not far from her.

An agent like her with extensive connections has already started chatting with people she knows.

An agent who has no connections is also very socially successful.

This is how it works in this business, you have to find ways to secure benefits for your own artists.

Zhang Yuxi set up her own personal studio this year, with a registration cost of 100,000 yuan, and she doesn’t even have an agent.

Sitting there with Zhang Ruolan, they felt like Meiyangyang sitting among a pack of wolves, a bit out of place.

soon.

The door to the audition room opened.

The surroundings fell silent, and Zhang Yuxi and Zhang Ruolan could not help but sit up straight.

The final audition has begun.

"Zhou Dongyu."

The door inside opened and Ke Jiayan came out.

Judging from her expression, there seemed to be some regret.

Zhao Shan was secretly delighted and turned her head to give Zhou Dongyu a few words of advice.

For a shrewd person like her, sometimes she doesn't need to ask too many questions, just looking at the expression, she can know the result.

According to the information she received, Zhou Dongyu's biggest rivals are Ke Jiayan and Gui Lunmei.

Another possibility is Lee Ji-eun from Gangnam-do’s South Korean branch.

These are all potential rivals of the little yellow duck.

The rest are mediocre and not worth mentioning.

When Zhou Dongyu came in, he glanced inside.

The first thing she saw was Zhou Yutang, who was sitting in the middle of the audition room.

On the left is director Lin Yufen, and on the right is teacher Yu Feihong from the Film Academy.

There were also two of the three most sought-after generals of Jiangdong, Lu Yang and director Wen Muye.

Lin Liang, who Zhao Shan had been working hard on public relations for some time, is two positions away and can be considered a core figure.

These are the people who can decide her fate.

"Hello, teachers."

As soon as he entered the door, the little yellow duck's eyes curved and a harmless smile appeared on his face.

Bow slightly and greet politely.

Including Yu Feihong, Lin Yufen and the other two assistant directors of the director team all felt their eyes light up.

With the little yellow duck around, the two Gui Lunmei from Taiwan Province definitely have no chance.

Even Zhou Yutang had to admit that Zhou Dongyu was a perfect fit for the role alone.

Lao Mouzi has a good eye for people.

Her face is indeed photogenic.

Especially that temperament, she looks like a weak and helpless little white flower, which is very suitable for this role.

The rating system gave her an AA+ rating, which is also based on objective reality.

"Do you have another movie?"

Zhou Yutang leaned back in his chair and drank some tea.

There is detailed information in the database, showing that the little yellow duck has taken on the movie "Summer and Ansheng" produced by Chen Kexing.

The original work is a novel by Annie Baby.

At that time, Liu Tianxian wanted to perform in a drama to hone her acting skills, so Zhou Yutang bought the copyright of the novel and adapted it into a drama.

Later, La Peikang spoke up and sold the film rights to China Film Corporation for ten times the price, which was considered a small profit.

Unexpectedly, La Peikang turned around and collaborated with Chen Kexing on a project to promote Zeng Zhiwei's son Zeng Guoxiang to the top.

Facing Zhou Yutang's question, the little yellow duck nodded hurriedly, with a flattering tone: "Mr. Zhou, I can cooperate with you, and the schedule will definitely be no problem."

"Go back and wait for notification."

Zhou Yutang took a sip of tea and said nothing more.

The little yellow duck opened his mouth, and his ability to read people's expressions, which he was so proud of, seemed to have failed at this moment.

The Grand Admiral in front of him had a very strong aura and his face was as calm as a lake, and it was impossible to see what he was thinking at all.

This made her feel a little frustrated and inexplicably timid. She forced a smile and saluted, then retreated in disappointment.

Next.

There are several people from Japan, but Zhou Yutang is not very satisfied with any of them.

Although their appearance is quite suitable for the role, they also expressed that they will work hard to learn Chinese.

But even a genius cannot quickly master this recognized profound language in a short period of time.

There was no suspense, the result was announced on the spot.

"Actually, the AKB one is pretty cute."

Lu Yang was also present at the audition today. We had dinner in the company cafeteria that night. He commented in a somewhat stuffy and sarcastic tone.

"Lu Yang, you just like this." Wen Muye couldn't help but grin.

"I am looking at you with admiration, appreciation."

"Do you want me to give you the contact information?"

Zhou Yutang joked: "You download Line."

Lu Yang shook his head repeatedly: "Forget it, I can't handle it, Boss, you do it."

Companies in Japan and South Korean entertainment companies have released information.

As long as Zhou Yutang wants, it can be arranged at any time.

As for what to arrange.

There is no need to say more.
