China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 798: The Dance of the Clown, the Great Buddha is released [asking for monthly tickets]

The Ninth Avenue subway station in Brooklyn.

Divided into upper and lower floors.

The upper level is bustling with people, while the lower level is abandoned. With a little scene arrangement, the antiquity and desolation of the simple Gotham in the 1980s are perfectly presented.

Graffiti can be seen everywhere on the walls.

This is where Arthur killed someone for the first time.

Arthur, who suffered a setback in his career, met the three so-called social elites mentioned by Thomas Wayne on the subway.

He looks dressed in a suit and tie, but he actually has a strong sense of superiority and flirts with decent women. He is a real scum.

Arthur's uncontrollable laughter led to another beating. He raised the pistol that caused him to lose his job and killed two people in a row.

The remaining one ran to the platform in panic, but was chased out by Arthur and shot dead.

A clean kill.

With the sudden sirens and the police chasing him, Arthur fled from the subway station in a panic.

He huddled up and hid in the shabby public toilet.

Seeing Joaquin Phoenix dancing crazily, Lu Yang got goosebumps and hesitated to say,
"Boss, this..."

As Zhou Yutang's deputy, he knew very well that this part was absolutely free play outside the script.

Zhou Yutang raised his hand and made a gesture to continue, staring at the picture on the monitor intently.

Some actors are called spiritual.

It is because they can completely immerse themselves in the filming.

Integrate certain characteristics of the character with the actor's own self.

When emotions are flowing naturally, there is a chance that a flash of inspiration will occur, which is a performance that is almost impossible to replicate.

It is also a great way to improve the quality of a movie.

This is the case with Joaquin Phoenix right now.

He seemed to have really become Arthur, who was oppressed to the limit by society and suffered countless grievances.

After killing someone in the subway, it was the first time that my emotions were completely released.

It's like opening Pandora's box.

This is the first clown's dance.

Like a flower of sin blooming in the darkness.

This also foreshadows that he gradually became the "Joker" of Gotham City.

After the initial running-in, the crew's shooting efficiency has improved a lot without realizing it.

The plot of the movie "Joker" is actually quite simple. It just tells why Arthur became a clown.

Or, what made Arthur become the Joker.

"According to this progress, we may be able to finish filming in two months. It's simply incredible..."

Bob has been staying with the crew these days.

As a producer who has been a big name in Hollywood decades ago, he is not just good at playing with women.

There is absolutely no problem with his professional ability.

Zhou Yutang rarely took on external films, and he ran around and made connections among them, solving many problems.

Seeing Zhou Yutang dispatching the crew, Lao Deng was convinced. In addition to providing emotional value on a daily basis, he also put forward some constructive suggestions in his opinion:

"Zhou, you can make three movies a year, and we can definitely become bigger and stronger..."

After a lot of blah blah, Lao Deng painted a huge pie.

Things like punching the six major Hollywood factions and kicking the entertainment hall have all come out.

"I do not have time."

Zhou Yutang glanced at him nonchalantly.

The clacking sound of his abacus could be heard across the Pacific Ocean.

"Yeah, I know, you're lonely without Crystal and Cecilia."

Lao Deng patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder with an ambiguous expression on his face: "Indeed, few men can resist Anne Hathaway. Anne with a husband is more attractive. Tonight..."

"It's just a dinner date."

"I understand."

"..."

Lu Yang was standing beside him, trying hard to suppress the corners of his mouth.

As an old comrade in Zhou Yutang's team, he is not a fool and must know what Governor Zhou is worried about recently.

If Old Bob knew about Aquaman's time management skills, even the knowledgeable Old Deng would be dumbfounded...

……

"The foreign film "Joker" directed by Zhou Yutang has started shooting, and the latest stills have been revealed. The super villain has turned into the protagonist!"

"Anne Hathaway visited the set and was laughing heartily. Rumor has it that the two of them were having a romantic scene!"

Since it is a new play by Governor Zhou, it has also attracted a lot of attention from Hollywood.

However, during the filming of the movie, Zhou Yutang declined continuous interviews from local media.

However, there were paparazzi stationed near the crew on a daily basis, and news was still reported back to China, directly appearing on the hot search headlines.

“Is this the same superhero as Doctor Strange?”

"That shouldn't be the case. Have you seen Batman directed by Christopher Nolan? Heath Ledger's Joker is a super villain."

"Cunzi, what did Anne Hathaway mean when she visited the crew the day before yesterday? Could she really be having an affair with Zhou Yutang?"

"I don't think so. The photo is too blurry."

In the Beijing Dance Academy training room, Zhao Xixi stretched her legs, bent her waist, and did her splits...

After completing a series of basic exercises, I finally waited until the get out of class was over and I was free.

In the eyes of ordinary people, girls from dance schools may have a mysterious and beautiful aura.

In fact, they are just ordinary female college students with better figures and more postures, and they are even more miserable than ordinary college students.

After the intense and orderly training, she and her roommate Liu Haocun went straight to the dormitory and happily gossiped about the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

Chinese students studying abroad do everything except studying.

Zhou Yutang was filming in North America, and the local overseas students were more excited than one another. Some enthusiastically signed up to be extras for free, and some squatted near the Manhattan Bridge crew, more professional than paparazzi.

There was also a student who waited until midnight and took a photo of Anne Hathaway visiting Zhou Yutang on the set.

As the nation's shared husband, the Grand Commander's love life has always been a focus of attention.

This time, the scandal with the married young woman Anne Hathaway was on the hot search list, and many netizens joked that Zhou Yutang had changed his taste.

"Hey, hurry up, Director Zhang is coming to our school for a roadshow today..."

Liu Haocun and Zhao Xixi hurriedly took a shower, changed their clothes, and ran straight to the school auditorium.

After intensive publicity through multiple channels, Zhang Yimou’s new film “Big Buddha” will finally be roadshowed at Beijing Dance Academy.

Nowadays, there are many forms of film roadshows, and they particularly focus on the young group of college students.

How did the Grand Commander of Jiangdong come to power?
The industry has conducted relevant analysis on this topic, and the main reason is because of his god-like status in the hearts of these young people.

Every time he has a film or TV project to launch, he doesn’t need any fancy marketing, as countless young people will spontaneously and actively recommend it to people around them.

This will expand the publicity scope of the film and create a hot public opinion effect, which will be beneficial everywhere.

In order to promote his movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2", Wang Baoqi went to a university and dressed as a chef, and was recognized by the clear-headed college students.

Zhang Yimou didn't do so many fancy things, and mainly focused on collecting feedback from young people on how the movie was viewed.

His studio is signed in Jiangdong, and he communicates with Zhou Yutang frequently.

A director wants to improve.

We cannot rest on our laurels.

You must keep up with the times because the market changes at any time and you must learn new things.

Zhou Yutang learned from Zhang Yimou's use of color, and the national master also learned from his grasp of the market among young groups.

The students from Beijing Dance Academy packed the entire small auditorium in an effort to catch a glimpse of the national master.

Liu Haocun and Zhao Xixi sat at the back and took pictures with their cell phones, both of them were a little excited.

After all, he is one of the top three directors in China.

Recently, the media has been hyping up the start of a peak competition among several big directors, and the national master has also received widespread attention.

When the whole movie was over, there was thunderous applause in the small auditorium.

When it comes to the use of colors, there is no one better than Guo Shigui among all the famous directors in China.

This point is vividly reflected in the Big Buddha, and the entire movie is full of artistic beauty.

When the narrative is told from the perspective of the lower classes such as Fan Wei and Ge You, most of the time it is in a dark tone, but when it comes to describing those in high positions in politics and business.

It is clearly visible that their world is in color.

I have to say that the strong color contrast is very impactful and also has other metaphors.

The movie tells the story of several marginalized people at the bottom of society who are accidentally involved in a murder case.

It seems to be a variety of black humor, which is very different from the style of Zhang Yimou's previous films, but the core is more than that.

It is through the perspectives of grassroots people like Fan Wei and Ge You that we get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the dark laws of the entire society.

The ending is definitely that justice triumphs over evil, the bad guys are punished, and the giant Buddha stands tall and majestic with a solemn appearance.

Finally, the sunlight shines through the Buddha, casting a shadow on the ground, which reminds people of the collusion between government and business that is vaguely mentioned in the film...

It instantly caused a strong impact on people.

The taste is worth savoring.

College students who are able to be admitted to the Beijing Dance Academy are majoring in art and have a certain level of appreciation ability.

Moreover, the theme of the movie is quite sensitive, and it immediately hit the G-spot of these college students.
"Director Zhang is really brave. How did this movie get the Dragon Mark?"

"The Imperial Master is now from Jiangdong."

"Fuck, the Grand Commander is awesome. He really is so powerful."

"I want to go to the cinema to watch the car sex scene again..."

"Director Zhang shot it really well."

Liu Haocun clapped along with the audience and couldn't help feeling envious.

If only she could act in a movie...

Zhang Yimou on the stage finished speaking to the main creators one after another.

He also responded to questions from Beijing Dance Academy students regarding shooting techniques, character creation and other related issues.

Although there are no popular stars, Fan Wei and Ge You are quite well-known. Gao Ye, who plays the mistress in the movie, can also be considered a second-tier actress.

What's more, with the national master in charge, there is guaranteed to be topics to talk about and the scene is lively.

Zhao Xixi pulled Liu Haocun's arm and asked in a low voice, "Cunzi, what's the name of that actor?"

"I think his name is Jiang Qiming."

Liu Haocun blinked his big, watery eyes.

"Wow, even though he looks sloppy in the movie, he looks quite handsome in real life."

The audience's thunderous applause really made Jiang Qiming a little flattered.

He had acted in dramas in the past, except for the minor roles he played in crews, and this was the first play in his life.

"Xiao Jiang, don't be nervous, you performed very well."

Fan Wei, a senior member of the team, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Fan."

"Haha, I heard you're in a new drama in Jiangdong?"

"Well, I'll join the group after the road show here is over."

"Come and settle down, you will have a bright future."

Ge You also had a friendly smile on his face and was generous in his praise.

This young man has an acting talent that is so obvious that it is blindingly obvious.

The strict selection of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong is indeed extraordinary.
