Volume 5: Blossom and Fruit 2018 Chapter 913
"I swear, the day before yesterday, that girl really volunteered..."
Zhou Dongsheng is wearing a white protective suit, and his tough style makes him look handsome. However, the humorous lines, coupled with his innocent expression with his hands spread out, create an extremely humorous picture, and he plays the role of comedy to the fullest.
Before the director shouted "cut", there was a sudden "puff" sound and someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Director Guo Fan, who was standing outside the venue, tried to hold back his laughter and said "click" hastily.
"What's going on? How many times have you laughed?"
"I really can't help it, Director. When Jay Chou said this, the oncoming sense of contrast is really indescribable!"
"I can already imagine the audience's reaction when this Easter egg is presented on the big screen. The theater will surely be filled with laughter!"
Everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the crew was extremely harmonious.
At this time, Zhou Dongsheng also laughed and said, "How about it, Director? Are our lines good enough?"
"There's no problem with the dialogue skills, but the Cantonese-Mandarin accent... has suddenly become the biggest feature of this character. I like it!" Guo Fan frowned and said with a strange expression.
In this regard, Zhou Dongsheng could only throw his hands up helplessly. The problem of local accents being difficult to change is undoubtedly deeply rooted, whether it is Northeastern or Cantonese-Mandarin, unless it is specifically corrected.
However, if we regard it as a feature, it can serve as the icing on the cake.
Among a series of guest roles, Zhou Dongsheng finally chose Tim, who met the protagonists in prison and was one of the few funny characters in the movie.
For Zhou Dongsheng, who never likes to follow the beaten path, this role is undoubtedly the most suitable for him to play, especially when such a line comes from his mouth...
It is extremely convincing for no reason, and the effect of this cameo is absolutely top-notch.
"Take a break first, and then reshoot this scene later. Jay Chou's time is precious, so try to finish it as soon as possible and don't waste any time..." Director Guo Fan said.
"Why is the director calling me here? I have plenty of time. If there are no major events or accidents, then I don't need to make the decision. Otherwise, I wouldn't come here to experience life, right..."
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand and spoke casually, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.
During their brief time together, Zhou Dongsheng's approachable style has undoubtedly won the hearts of the people and left a deep impression on everyone in the crew.
"But director, as an investor, I don't have any other requests. I hope you will strictly fulfill the obligations of every citizen and don't let this epic science fiction masterpiece die because of this. Otherwise, all our hard work will be in vain..."
Zhou Dongsheng teased meaningfully.
With the emergence of a Yin-Yang contract, it suppressed half of the entertainment industry and created a situation where everyone was in danger. I don't know how many accountants were exhausted openly or secretly.
At the same time, how many outstanding accountants will go to prison for "further studies" (funny).
"Don't worry about this, Mr. Jay. I would like to spend this dollar carefully, so there is no room for tax evasion..." Guo Fan said innocently.
"No, you want me to increase the budget again? You can't just pick on me to get all the benefits, right? I'll show you a way out. Master Wu just made a lot of money with this movie... "
Zhou Dongsheng put his arm around the director's shoulders, and the two of them began to whisper with their arms around each other's shoulders. Guo Fan's eyes lit up, and he nodded continuously, occasionally letting out an intriguing laugh.
In this life, with his own early development, Director Guo has undoubtedly discovered his unique talent in advance, and there are signs that he will carry it forward.
The other crew members were already accustomed to the sight of the two of them working together, and after resting for a while they continued filming, and this time they finally completed the filming of this scene smoothly.
As one of the main characters and one of the few funny ones, Tim has quite a few scenes, but a supporting role is always a supporting role and naturally cannot overshadow the main character.
Therefore, after a few days of hard work, Zhou Dongsheng successfully completed his third shoot.
It has to be said that Zhou Dongsheng really enjoyed this feeling of experiencing life on the set. After all, as a financial sponsor who brought money into the crew, everyone who met him had to be courteous to him.
As the famous grassroots actor once said: "In the past, I always met all kinds of people, but when you become famous, you are surrounded by good people, and everyone you meet has a smiling face!"
This may be the most appropriate way to describe Zhou Dongsheng's current situation.
Amid the warm farewell of the crew, Zhou Dongsheng also temporarily bid farewell to his career in the crew. If nothing unexpected happens, he probably won't make guest appearances again in the short term.
After all, after making cameo appearances in three movies in a row, it is undoubtedly a foregone conclusion that he will be rewarded with the title of golden supporting actor with a box office of tens of billions.
In terms of cross-border business, I have achieved the ultimate. From an internet celebrity to an actor, I am probably the most idle entrepreneur in history, right?
And with the outbreak of the "yin-yang contract" incident, the gears of fate have undoubtedly begun to turn.
Zhou Dongsheng had repeatedly emphasized this matter within the group before, but "a thousand words are not as good as seeing it with your own eyes."
After all, everyone has a sense of luck. Everyone would not cry until they see the coffin. Only when faced with ironclad facts will they give up their fantasies.
Now, combined with this incident, we can teach the group a vivid lesson to let them understand what "paying taxes is the obligation of every citizen!"
After all, in addition to celebrities, internet celebrities are also severely affected, especially the live streaming business with goods that Dongsheng Media is currently vigorously developing, which is of paramount importance.
It is better to get preventive measures in advance than to wait until death is imminent to realize the danger.
However, before the "yin-yang contract" incident could escalate, a criminal case involving a carpool victim caused an uproar in the public opinion field and sparked heated discussions among the nation.
This is how the world is. It will never stagnate because of anything. Whenever you have the illusion that "the sky is falling", reality will tell you what "there is always someone better than you" means.
It was not until the incident sparked heated discussions on the Internet that Zhou Dongsheng belatedly remembered that this had happened . Zhou Dongsheng did not feel any sympathy for the situation.
After all, reality is not a simple and crude "train problem", and you don't have a joystick in your hands. In the final analysis, you are still just an ordinary person, not an extraordinary god.
Zhou Dongsheng can only do something within the scope of his ability, but when it comes to his personal destiny, it is obviously beyond Zhou Dongsheng's ability.
However, although the reality is not the "train problem", for Zhou Dongsheng, isn't he making a similar choice now?
Save one person, or countless people...
Zhou Dongsheng has obviously made his choice, and he is still firmly controlling the "train" and continuing to sprint in this direction.
On the surface, Dongsheng Group's development is still at its peak, but behind the scenes... it is also progressing at a rapid pace.
Among them, both Lu Sifang who went overseas and the domestic side were carrying out various tasks step by step according to Zhou Dongsheng's instructions.
However, as Zhou Dongsheng's right-hand man, it is naturally impossible for him to know the hidden thread behind all this, as well as Zhou Dongsheng's "ulterior motives".
After all, even if you tell it to others, most people would not believe that reality can take such a magical turn.
Otherwise, reality is often more absurd than fiction, because the development of reality does not require logical support.
While all business operations are proceeding in an orderly manner, time seems to have been fast-forwarded.
Under the attention of the public, the day of release of "Dying to Survive" has finally arrived.
Although the popularity of this film was greatly affected by the many events that happened during this period.
However, due to the various controversial topics, the film itself continues to receive sufficient exposure.
In addition, as an investor, Dongsheng Group did not hesitate to use its resources and made a small contribution to the publicity and promotion work.
The short videos on TikTok, which are now leading the short video field, are enough to bring enough audience and traffic to this movie.
No matter what, we have to take it out for a walk to know whether it is a donkey or a horse!
On the occasion of the movie's premiere, Zhou Dongsheng, as the main creative member and also the controversial point, casually posted a Weibo post, just to do his part to promote the movie.
"I wish in advance that 'Dying to Survive' wins the title of the best film of the year. If you still find my statement controversial after watching the movie, you are welcome to scold me!"
Zhou Dongsheng, who was already at the center of the storm, didn't mind adding fuel to the fire. After all, the advantage was in his hands, so how could he lose when he had a flying dragon on his face?
As expected, this Weibo post was released at the time of the movie's premiere and immediately caused a huge uproar. In just less than ten minutes, it had received tens of thousands of comments and over 100,000 reposts and likes.
At the same time, the flames of war quickly spread across the Internet, and countless film critics and colleagues were shocked and eager to join the battlefield.
"When did the film industry fall to the point where even laymen can make comments? Chinese films are hopeless."
"Do you really think you are great just because you have a few bucks? Art cannot be created with money alone, otherwise "Kung Fu Yoga" would have surpassed "Farewell My Concubine" and become the number one film in Chinese film history."
" A nouveau riche is a nouveau riche. His true nature is exposed in the end. Do you really think that the Chinese film industry is still in the old days when coal bosses had the final say? I want to see how it ends!"
There were countless negative comments like this, which made Zhou Dongsheng the target of public criticism for a while, and even "Dying to Survive" received a lot of attention.
Many people who like to watch the fun and stir up trouble not only added fuel to the fire, but also became very curious about the movie itself.
What kind of movie is it?
In order to ensure that their words are reasonable, both the naysayers and professional film critics have already bought tickets and are ready to watch the movie.
All you have to do is take out a magnifying glass and find faults frame by frame, so that you can make a well-reasoned rebuttal in the public opinion field!
Although the publicity method adopted by Zhou Dongsheng was very radical, it was effective. I don’t know how many people went to the cinema because of it, ready to enjoy this "best movie of the year".
The main creative staff who were on the film roadshow only learned about this belatedly.
However, Wen Muye was a new director with little influence, so he naturally did not dare to call and "demand charges". Even Xu Da, the producer and leading actor, did not dare to act rashly.
Instead, it was Ning Hao, who had a better relationship with Zhou Dongsheng, who called.
"Mr. Jay Chou, with all his praise, aren't you afraid that this investment will fail?" Ning Hao said in a teasing tone, but there was no worry in his words.
After all, as a producer, Ning Hao knows the quality of this movie better than anyone else. You know, when the movie script started, Ning Hao couldn't help but be excited and wanted to take charge of it himself.
In the end, he chose to give the opportunity to young people in order to fulfill his own young director film plan.
"I have already seen the finished film. This is just a sincere review from a viewer like me. Who knew it would cause such a big stir..." Zhou Dongsheng said lightly.
"Of course not. Jay Chou is a big tree that attracts the wind now. I don't know how many eyes are staring at you..."
"Hey, we are upright and honest, so we just want to have a clear conscience. After all, we pay taxes, so what do we have to be afraid of..."
Zhou Dongsheng never tires of keeping up with current affairs, which makes Ning Hao feel very uncomfortable. After all, as an insider, he is more or less aware of the chaos in the circle.
"Hehe, in that case, I'll borrow Mr. Jay's words, I have something else to do..." Then Ning Hao retreated decisively.
After Zhou Dongsheng hung up the phone, Li Jiana came over and asked with a smile.
"Chairman, our group is organizing a private screening event. Do you want to join us?"
As a film invested by the group and in which the chairman personally took charge, it is natural for the group to organize internal film viewing activities. The same was true for "Wolf Warrior 2".
But this time, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but look strange, and said seriously: "Ahem, I have something else to do, so I won't go. You guys can do whatever you want..."
At the same time, he made up his mind that he would definitely not appear in the group in the short term.
After all, it was fun to do this, but what about the consequences? Zhou Dongsheng could imagine the strange looks that many employees had when they looked at him.
As time passed, the first batch of film reviews and audience evaluations after the premiere came out, almost instantly setting off the entire Internet.
"I admit that I spoke too loudly before and I misunderstood what Zhou Dongsheng meant. The staying power of this movie...is indeed worthy of the title of the best of the year!" a film critic exclaimed.
“When the lights came on, no audience member stood up and left. Everyone was immersed in the endless aftertaste of the movie. This movie... is so good and so touching.”
With the reversal of word-of-mouth, many people who are watching the show can't help but feel curious.
Is it really that beautiful?
