Meng Chuan.
Fifteen years later, he is the king of commercial films in the Chinese film industry.
He is also recognized as the leading director of the industry's film production that is closest to the Hollywood business system.
Huaguo's films started late, especially commercial films. The entire market is still in the exploratory stage. It is very good that everyone can tell a story completely and completely according to the commercial routine. In such a big environment, Meng Chuancheng the only outlier.
He is a Chinese-American born in the United States. He spent the first 30 years of his life in Hollywood, editing, post-production, directing, and screenwriting, absorbing the nutrients of Hollywood in all directions. He has only returned to China in the last five years to develop. All are commercials.
Speaking of literary films, it seems that he has nothing to do with this future great director. How could Zhou Yuhe think of him
It all depends on his film "Bo Ying", a danmei literary film that he shot four years later.
In terms of homosexuality, China is in the stage of opening up. Although homosexuals are allowed to marry, there are many requirements and regulations. It is rare to get a green card in the United States. The review of film and television works of the same sex is naturally quite strict. , In the 15 years that followed, only a handful of tanmei films could be screened in China, and "Thin Sakura" was one of the landmark works.
Meng Chuan's excellent plot control ability has polished a literary film "Bo Ying" to the extreme. Its plot coherence is not inferior to that of commercial blockbusters. .
It is precisely because of the existence of "Bo Ying" that Zhou Yuhe believes that Meng Chuan will also be able to make "Cat" well.
Seeing Zhou Yuhe's strong recommendation, Cai Dong and Yang Yu also thought about it carefully, and felt that this plan was feasible, and Meng Chuan had just made a little reputation in the country, so it shouldn't be difficult to invite him.
"Since this is the case, then I will be responsible for contacting Meng Chuan." Cai Dong smiled slightly.
Zhou Yuhe nodded.
If Meng Chuan joins, then his confidence in the film will increase a lot.
However, three days later, the news that reached Yang Yu's side was—
Meng Chuan refused.
********
"Why?" Zhou Yuhe sat in the nanny's car, surprised, "Dong Cai's bid should be generous, right?"
At this time, they were going to a well-known outdoor reality show in China as temporary guests. Yang Yu said to Zhou Yuhe while scanning the show script: "It's not about the price, but 'no interest'."
Yang Yu raised his head, "Meng Chuan said that he is not interested in literary films."
"It's impossible." His technique of shooting "Thin Cherry Blossoms" is very skillful, and the use of long shots and colors can hardly be described as dazzling. The artistic effect is so amazing.
Zhou Yuhe thought for a while and said, "Did he refuse very firmly? Did he offer any conditions?"
This time, Yang Yu looked at him with hesitation.
"Yes, but yes. He said... if he had to direct, he had only one request—"
"Just to replace you."
replace him
Zhou Yuhe was stunned for a moment.
Then he couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
He leaned on the leather seat, his expression was a little lazy, there was no sign of anger, just an unexpected expression, but still with an indescribable momentum, he tilted his head and said: "So he refused to direct this film. The root cause of the movie is distrust of my acting? Or simply hate me?"
Yang Yu sighed, Zhou Yuhe's reaction was understandable.
Although "Youth Again" and "Searching for the Sky" are popular dramas, Zhou Yuhe's performance in them is obvious to all. Although the audience will subconsciously classify him as an idol, as long as he is a professional It is easy to see that Zhou Yuhe's acting skills are higher than those of Xiao Xianrou in the same period, and he is a very bright newcomer even in the film industry. Otherwise, why would there be several A-level commercial films that want to look for him? To pick the beam
Yang Yu never expected to reject this movie because he rejected Zhou Yuhe.
He said: "Who knows? There is no shortage of weirdos in the film industry. Since he has made it clear that he wants to pick on you, let's choose another director."
Zhou Yuhe pondered, his right hand rubbed his chin, the sun shined through the gap between the car curtains and sprinkled on the handsome face of the young man, a pair of dark pupils turned into a very beautiful amber color under the superposition of the morning light, glowing. Fragile and flowing light.
"But I always think it's not that simple..." He admitted that he had no grudge against Meng Chuan, and he had no grudge against him. Why did he target him? Or... for another reason
Yang Yu said: "Do you mean to try again? But on our side, he has already died."
Zhou Yuhe instantly remembered Xie Yifeng, who is known as the courtesan in the circle, and he said, "It's okay, the public is not good, let's do it privately."
Yang Yuzheng wanted to ask him what he meant when the nanny car suddenly arrived at the recording site of the show.
Zhou Yuhe's popularity soared very fast.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Yu, who is well versed in this truth, is not in a hurry to make him frequently appear on TV to brush his face. He only appears on some talk shows or variety shows during the promotion of movies and TV series, and even less reality shows. This The show can be said to be Zhou Yuhe's first reality show since he became popular.
This reality show is very popular in China, and the mc team is almost all well-known entertainers. After playing tricks on each other for a while, they screamed without exception after the official announcement of Zhou Yuhe's appearance.
The fans sitting in front of the TV understood the meaning of the screams, and instantly cheered up.
I saw the smiling boy with a smile at the corner of his mouth in the late stage of the cherry blossoms made by the program team. In the soft filter, he slowly walked into the picture, like a fairy who fell into the mortal world, which makes people want to scream loudly!
MC's reaction is also very realistic!
"Wow! Is this kind of appearance real? Is he human like me?!" MC, who was in charge of funny in the team, said with an exaggerated expression.
The control field mc next to him took his eyes back when he heard the words and glanced at the funny mc. The contrast in appearance was so strong that he couldn't help but complain: "Why so much difference!"
There was laughter in front of the TV.
"It's the feeling of first love..."
"I always thought that Zhou Yuhe's photos were all edited, but today, I will tell everyone responsibly, complete, complete, no, yes!" said a dark-skinned mc.
The funny mc caught the black-skinned mc's point, and immediately scolded him: "You also said that people retouched pictures, and the official pictures you produced are Africans who have cultivated into Caucasians, okay? And you can cultivate yourself, so why not Cultivation with me! Last time I clicked on your Weibo, I saw that you were whiter than me! Wouldn't your conscience hurt?"
Speaking of which, the camera specially gave a close-up of the two people's arms to compare, and the disparate skin tone immediately triggered another round of laughter.
The only young lady in the mc team, the first-line actress Wang Shiqiu, joked: "You guys were still saying that you are little fresh meat, and now the real little fresh meat is coming."
Control field mc said: "Yuhe say hello to everyone."
Zhou Yuhe looked at the camera and smiled gently: "Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Yuhe."
Wang Shiqiu: "Yu He's introduction is too monotonous, you should add a little prefix, such as 'the nation's first love', 'the king of two-year drama', 'the boy with golden fingers' and so on."
Zhou Yuhe couldn't help but laugh, "What kind of stalk is the golden finger, why don't I know it myself?"
Wang Shiqiu: "You haven't found out which drama you acted in and which drama was the drama king of that year? Now netizens say that you are the hero of a novel with a golden finger, and a cheating player."
A cheating player who opened up
It's really fitting.
Control field mc: "I'm more curious about what it feels like to open and hang?"
Although this question seems to be throwing a point for Zhou Yuhe to let him play, but in fact, it is also a big point. If he really said what happened after he became popular according to the idea of controlling the field, it would be a joke. The tone of voice will definitely cause discomfort to some audiences, and there will even be black fans who pick his words and black him for expansion.
So Zhou Yuhe pretended to ponder: "I feel that cheating is of no use to me, because I want to be the owner of a game company."
"Hey, this one is okay!"
"Very clever, I feel like we have a lot of challenges today!"
…
The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of the scene made the mc present and the audience in front of the TV all relieved.
The variety shows before Zhou Yuhe became popular can be called black history. Although the effect of the interview shows after that was not bad, the reality show really made people sweat.
Now it looks... adapting well, Zhou Zhou!
The author has something to say: No, no, the hero of the novel with the golden finger is more appropriate :)
Wow, it's almost time to finish writing the update, I'm going to explode, I have to get up at 7 o'clock tomorrow and go to work
