China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 790: The Romance Exclusive to the Celestials, Not Suffering at All

Even though the Grand Commander is a scumbag, he has a very good vision.

People often say this on the Internet, and Liu Cixin agrees with it.

It has been making related investments in copyright for a long time, including the film and television adaptations of a series of science fiction works.

In the entire Chinese entertainment industry, apart from the Grand Commander Jiangdong, who else dares to announce that he wants to make films like "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth"?
As the author of the novel, Liu Cixin felt more gratified and excited.

To the author, every work is like his own child.

Who doesn’t want their children to be recognized by more people?

If we can use movies and TV series to let more Chinese audiences know that China also has its own grand and magnificent science fiction world,
That is of course the best.

So when Jiangdong Entertainment hired me as a script consultant for a science fiction series of film and television projects.

Liu Da agreed without any hesitation.

It's not about the reward, it's about being able to be part of something like this.

It is an honor in itself to witness China's science fiction films taking a historic step forward.

"Teacher Liu? Teacher Liu?"

"Ok?"

Writers are like this, their thoughts sometimes diverge, and Liu Cixin was called back by Chen Duling's crisp voice, explaining:

"Sorry, I just thought of something and got distracted."

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Zhou and the others are all inside."

When Chen Duling smiled, two dimples appeared on her cheeks, and she made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you."

"You're making too much noise here."

After welcoming Liu, Huang Bo seemed to have just arrived. His expression was exaggerated: "How many reporters are squatting downstairs? As soon as they got off the car, they pulled me, thinking I was going to act in Operation Red Sea."

"You'll understand if you come a few more times. There are so many people every day." Guo Fan said with a smile.

Ning Hao also grinned: "I heard that the lunch box business across the street has changed to a BMW..."

"Oh, then I'll set up a stall someday."

The atmosphere similar to that between friends made Liu, who was originally a little reserved, gradually relax and he started laughing.

A good author must focus most of his energy on creation.

When Liu Cixin was working in Niangziguan, he would spend at least several hours reading every day, making him a true slacker.

Apart from chatting and expressing his youthful enthusiasm online, he basically doesn't have any social activities.

Although he is a bit introverted and reserved, Liu still has some moral integrity. He took the boss's money and came here today mainly for two important things.

Ning Hao had long wanted to make a science fiction movie, and he wanted to turn "Rural Teacher" into the final dance of his Crazy Trilogy.

Another one is Jiangdong Entertainment’s own "The Wandering Earth".

"Teacher Liu, have you read the script? What do you think?"

"Just call me Da Liu."

Big Liu waved his hands repeatedly and smiled naively.

"Da Liu, tell me the truth, what do you think?"

Ning Hao is also a very honest man, and he asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Uh, my idea may not be mature enough."

Big Liu glanced at Zhou Yutang who was sitting in the main seat.

Just now his phone rang. He was looking down to reply to a message. He looked up and said with a smile, "It's okay. Today we are mainly discussing this. Everyone can speak freely."

"Then I'll just say it casually."

Liu sorted out his words and said carefully: "In fact, my understanding is that novels and movies are two different cultural carriers.

If a novel wants to create an entire grand science fiction world, it can unfold from multiple perspectives and lay a lot of groundwork, and there are no restrictions on this.

When it comes to making movies, you all are experts and I don’t quite understand.

But it is very difficult to fully unfold the world view in the novel into a movie of more than 100 minutes.

Director Ning's script has been significantly altered, and it seems to have little to do with the original novel..."

"hehe."

Ning Hao scratched his head and chuckled: "The taste is not right, I will have to change it later..."

Aliens are just the appetizer, the highlight is still Jiang Dong’s "The Wandering Earth".

“This is an interesting entry point…”

Liu held the tablet in his hands, fascinated by what he saw.

On the tablet in front of me is not just the script of "The Wandering Earth".

It even includes a whole set of background settings that fit the story's world view.

From 1997 to 2075, the chronicle of nearly a hundred years covers all aspects of future politics, economy, culture, technology, etc., with content as much as hundreds of thousands of words.

"It's really amazing to be able to achieve this level." Liu gave a thumbs up.

"It's because Mr. Zhou has great reputation."

Guo Fan smiled and said, "I asked the professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences for help."

“That’s not easy either.”

Liu expressed his sincere admiration from the bottom of his heart and joined in the discussion of the script.

The original version of his novel actually has less than 3 words.

In this chronicle, even the list of props such as compressed vegetable packages, crane-billed excavators, and heavy fusion reactors has specific illustrated descriptions.

He even speculated on possible natural phenomena in the future, including gravitational earthquakes, eternal days, snow and fog...

It is well-reasoned and the settings are incredibly detailed, as if a new world has been constructed.

Faced with the world-destroying disaster of a solar helium flash, humans decided to form a united government and install an engine on the Earth to use the power to push the Earth out of the solar system.

A 2,500-year-long wandering plan was implemented in the universe to find a new galaxy as a home for mankind.

This grand story focuses on the Chinese-style family and the relationship between father and son.

The two emotional reflections, which contrast with the grand narrative of humanity and the earth, are undoubtedly more shocking.

Zhou Yutang also expected Liu's reaction.

How easy is it to make a science fiction movie that belongs to China?

Prior to this, the entire screenwriter team had been working silently behind the scenes for two years.

Maybe some people don’t quite understand.

When the day comes when the earth really faces doomsday, why not just run away?

Wandering with the earth.

This is probably the kind of romance that only Chinese people can understand.

……

Ever since they broke through that layer of relationship, Zhang Ruolan and Zhou Yutang's private contacts have become increasingly affectionate, and it was like they were in the sweetest form.

This is a severe test for the master of time management.

But time is like Xiao Zhang’s granary, there will always be some if you squeeze it.

Now that "The Lonely and Great God" is coming to an end, Zhou Yutang has arranged some more publicity work for the drama.

Fans burst into tears.

Celebrate the New Year in advance!
Finally, the elusive governor appears to be doing business!

Listening to fans holding up the CP banner and saying that they were made for each other, Zhang Ruolan felt as if fireworks were blooming in her heart.

Enjoying the happiness brought by fame, she even selectively ignored Zhou Yutang's romantic shortcomings...

Anyway.

At least Zhou Yutang gave her enough emotional value when he was with her.

Unfortunately, this is the critical period for her to monetize her traffic.

Soon, a bunch of announcements of business endorsements, fashion events, etc. came one after another, and the schedule was full.

Last year, Zhang Tianai created a miracle of rising to fame in the entertainment industry. This year, with Zhou Yutang leading the way, the influence of "The Lonely and Great God" was even greater, and it became a big hit across Asia.

There have been a lot of news reports about Zhang Ruolan in South Korea and Japan.

The flowers outside the wall are fragrant inside the wall, which directly allowed Zhang Ruolan to ascend to the first level.

After finishing today’s promotional schedule, Zhou Yutang went to the apartment where Zhang Ruolan lived.

Warm rain and sunny wind.

Zhang Ruolan found a comfortable position and leaned lazily in Zhou Yutang's arms.

Replying to the message on the phone, but a little reluctantly: "Zhou Zhou, I have to go to shoot the endorsement of Yu Sheng clothing tomorrow."

"At your age, it's time to work hard on your career."

Zhou Yutang's painted cakes were fragrant and sweet, and he could make her very happy with just a few words, and she was full of fighting spirit again.

There is a new term emerging on the Internet, called "brother-supporting demon".

Zhang Ruolan has a bit of this idea.

As the eldest daughter born in an ordinary family with relatively feudal ideas, she became sensible very early.

Zhang Ruolan also understood her parents and took on many responsibilities.

When I was in school, I worked part-time to support my family.

It was also dug up by netizens that she had worked as a part-time Taobao model for Yu Sheng, who was just starting out.

Now, under Zhou Yutang's instruction, she has also been invited to be the spokesperson for the new season women's clothing of the Yu Sheng brand.

From just starting out to meeting at the top hand in hand, we are truly destined to be together.

Jiangdong's public relations department proposed to use this topic for marketing. ——A girl from an ordinary family, who worked hard to earn money to support her family and went to college.

Later, he was discovered by a noble person, entered the entertainment industry, and became an instant hit.

Now looking back, she is shocked to find that the brand that signed her also grew from a small shop.

This is called "storytelling", which gives the brand special value and is in line with the positioning tone of the Yu Sheng series of products.

"The Lonely and Great God" is about to end, and film and television companies in the industry are calculating Zhou Yutang's profits.

Apart from the revenue from the video platform, subsequent derivative projects such as popular TV series, games, clothing, etc. will bring him a steady stream of amazing profits.

The box office of "Operation Mekong" continues to soar and has already crossed the 15 billion threshold.

The application for key extension has been submitted.

The authorities are also happy to see the box office of such a mainstream commercial blockbuster go up, the higher the better.

While Zhang Ruolan started her schedule, Zhou Yutang was also busy with the preparations for "Joker" and also dealt with the post-production of the first few films he had on hand.

"The Wandering Earth" and "Operation Red Sea" will be the company's key projects next year. The preparation work is long and there is no need to rush.

Both "Bad Genius" and "Wolf Warrior 2" have just finished filming and obviously cannot make it in time for the Spring Festival.

Li Shuang called: "Yu Tang, Ke Liming asked if The Meg can be released during the Spring Festival?"

"It's too late for the special effects, let's put it off until next year."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead and flipped through the schedule.

Zhang Yimou's "The Great Buddha" is scheduled to be released in November.

It seems that the poem "The Great Wall" by poet Chen will be released in December.

The publicity and promotion started two months in advance, and the event was so grand that it attracted worldwide attention.

Calculating the time, the second part of the "Ghost Blowing the Light" series can almost catch up...

"How about having a meeting with Director Chen?"

……

Magic City.

After school.

Wang Rongran returned to his cousin Wang Yiran's residence, carrying his bag and humming happily.

It's always more comfortable to live outside than in school.

This apartment is not far from the school and is a happy home for the two sisters.

Despite their close relationship, Wang Rongran didn't really consider herself a princess.

Wang Rongran, whose parents divorced when he was young and who grew up with his mother, has long learned to read people's faces.

In other words, I'm used to not causing trouble for others.

The first thing she did when she got home was to throw the two sisters' clothes into the washing machine, and then clean the house.

Wang Yiran sent a WeChat message saying that she had ordered takeout, so she didn’t have to cook.

Tonight is the finale of "The Lonely and Great God". Mango TV was generous during the National Day, and then continued to slow down the broadcast pace, and was almost overwhelmed by netizens.

"The average viewership is 3.68%. They should have released all the content long ago. I heard that Mango TV couldn't stand the criticism and was considering canceling the Diamond Exclusive Theater..."

"It should be cancelled. There are only two days in a week. Who can watch it?"

Wang Yiran is an insider in the industry, and his company is under the Jiangdong Group, so he knows a lot of gossip.

Wang Rongran was also happy to listen to her sister talk about this. After all, gossip is a gene engraved in women's bones.

The two sisters were watching TV series while eating snacks.

The god who was lost in the human world finally pulled out the sword from his chest, fulfilled his long-cherished wish, and then disappeared.

Finally, Chi Enzhuo found a way for the two to meet again with the guidance of Master Han from the NPC Qingyun Sect.

The two reunited again in the Maple Leaf Country.

White dandelions scattered in the wind, and the two stood facing each other in the sunset.

At this point, there is nothing to say.

The feeling that transcends everything flows quietly in each other's eyes.

The emotions of the entire play were sublimated at this moment, and the comments on the tablet were swiping the screen like crazy.
"Are you dreaming?"

"It seems that when they first met, Zhou Yutang had already seen this ending?"

"Why is he called a god lost in the human world? He's just handsome."

"Ahhhh, hubby, let me go to the supermarket."

Wang Yiran saw a strange comment and couldn’t understand what it was saying.

"Sister, you are out."

Wang Rongran glanced at it and explained, "This is that one..."

"Which one is that?"

"..."

Wang Yiran understood the message from Wang Chenran's eyes and sighed: "I really don't understand the thoughts of you young people."

"It's normal that you don't understand. The world is almost dominated by the post-00s generation now. There is a generation gap... Ouch!"

“Tell me, is there a generation gap?”

"No, no... Sister, you are 18 years old this year, young and beautiful."

Wang Yiran, who suppressed her sister with force, was satisfied to hear the flattery and watched the story progress.

The relationship between the messenger and the lady boss has come to a happy conclusion...

The Wang sisters couldn't help but smile like an auntie on their faces.

"Ahhhh, I really want to fall in love."

Wang Yiran hugged her cousin and ravaged her. Wang Yiran was used to it. He tidied his hair and said calmly:

"Then go ahead and talk. No one is stopping you."

"I want to date Zhou Yutang, Zhu Yilong is also fine."

“……”Wang Rongran rolled his eyes.

"Why do not you speak?"

"Sister, go to bed early. You can dream about anything."

I followed this drama all the way to the end, and when I heard the ending song, I always felt a sense of loss.

"Watching Governor Zhou's new drama with my silly sister, the best drama of the year, no explanation needed, congratulations on the end."

Wang Yiran took a photo with his mobile phone and posted it on WeChat Moments.

The two sisters were excitedly chatting about the plot of the drama: "I heard from the last interview of the Grand Commander that the final scene was actually filmed earlier."

"Yeah, it's a really great shot. I feel like every frame is suitable for use as a wallpaper."

"I didn't expect Zhang Ruolan to be such a good actress. She came to Shanghai to record Running Man a while ago. Her popularity was really terrifying..."

Wang Yiran's mouth was like a machine gun, and he kept talking to his fragrant cousin.

After talking about the drama and life, Wang Yiran complained about the hardship in school. Wang Yiran showed the attitude of a veteran and gave him earnest advice:
"Life is full of hardships before happiness. You have to be down-to-earth and not be too ambitious. It is unrealistic to always think of reaching the sky in one step..."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Wang Rongran struggled to get up and said, "Sister, I want to tell you something."

"I'm listening."

WeChat notification sounds rang one after another, and soon there were dozens of likes in the circle of friends, which slightly satisfied Wang Yiran's vanity.

It is said that Governor Zhou is the traffic code. With him, there are more people who like the post than usual.

"I received a call today. Zhou Shufang from Jiangdong Entertainment wanted to see me."

"Huh? Who?"

"Zhou Shufang."

Hearing this name, Wang Yiran's expression twitched slightly, he put down his phone, sat up straight on the sofa, and said suspiciously:
"Are you sure you're not a liar?"

What kind of person is Zhou Shufang?
She is a big name in the entertainment industry, just like Master Emei Miejue in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

Wang Yiran had reason to suspect that someone was using her name to deceive her naive sister.

Some time ago, Golden Eye reported that a scammer used the name of a subsidiary of Jiangdong Entertainment to deceive a second-generation rich woman who wanted to pursue her dream of entering the entertainment industry, and the amount involved was as high as several million.

“It shouldn’t be fake, right?”

Wang Rongran crossed her long white legs, bit off a piece of Langweixian, and sucked her white fingers: "After class, Teacher Dong came to tell me that she would accompany me then...

Sister, am I the one you love the most? Why don’t you say anything? "

What can I say?
At this moment, Wang Yiran's mind was quite complicated.

She originally thought that Wang Rongran might enter the entertainment industry in the future.

But in most cases, they just develop step by step, and maybe with a bit of luck, they can make it to the 18th tier...

Who would have thought that Zhou Shufang would like me.

Doesn’t that mean you have half a foot in the South Gate of Heaven?

It was somewhat presumptuous to ask her to keep her feet on the ground earlier.

People who win the gene lottery for good looks will not have bad luck.

The last person that Zhou Shufang took a fancy to in Shanghai was Dilraba Dilmurat.

Now she is the top-tier 90s flower, everyone knows her, and she has become a legend at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

However, Dilraba Dilmurat was noticed after she was admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Sister, you are only in high school, you don’t even want to endure the slightest hardship…
