Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 709 The Charm of Top Men

After chatting casually for a while, Zhou Yang hung up the phone.

Next, Zhou Yang called Lao Hu, wanting to invite him to participate in his upcoming film.

"Hello? Xiao Yang? This phone call is really unusual!"

Old Hu's voice on the other end of the phone was reassuring.

Zhou Yang smiled and replied, "Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong? Are you free? I'd like to show you my new movie!"

Old Hu's voice suddenly became excited, but then he paused and sighed.

"what happened?"

Zhou Yang noticed that Lao Hu seemed a little disappointed, his voice sounding tired. It was a great pity that he couldn't participate in Zhou Yang's film.

"No, it's not that! I recently got a role in a TV series, and oh my, it's Guo Fan's! What a coincidence!"

Zhou Yang also felt it was a bit of a pity and decided to contact other actors.

As a result, on the other end of the phone, Lao Hu slapped his thigh.

"What do you think of Gu Tianle? His acting is pretty good, and he's in Shanghai right now!"

Zhou Yang was slightly taken aback when he heard the name Gu Tianle. Gu Tianle was a star from Hong Kong who often participated in the filming of action movies, and Zhou Yang immediately remembered him.

"Okay! Please send me his contact information and I'll contact him right away!"

Old Hu was resentful, blaming Guo Fan for making him miss Zhou Yang's movie opportunity.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang continued to focus on casting.

The core of a film lies in its plot, actors, and filming techniques.

If the actors are chosen appropriately and their acting skills are excellent, the project is basically halfway to success in its early stages.

Chen Tianzhen had already sent the list of new employees to Zhou Yang's email address, and Zhou Yang was overwhelmed by the sheer number of names.

Suddenly, a resume caught his eye.

A simple one-inch photo. The girl in the photo looks clean and clear, with a lively spirit in her eyes, which made Zhou Yang take a liking to her at first glance!

The girl's name is Zhang Baizhi!
Zhang Baizhi is a new talent recently introduced to Zhou Yang's studio. She is only 18 years old this year and looks very promising.

In this industry, there must be an injection of fresh blood, which is why Zhou Yang has always insisted on bringing in new talent.

Zhou Yang immediately decided that this was the ideal female lead he had in mind!
Two days later, Gu Tianle and Zhang Baizhi went to Zhou Yang's company to sign the contract.

Zhang Baizhi could hardly believe it. She had never had the chance to showcase her talent, and now she was able to collaborate with Zhou Yang, which felt like a dream.

Zhou Yang sat in his office chair and slowly turned around. His handsome face made Zhang Baizhi blush instantly.

Gu Tianle was also meeting this young film emperor for the first time, and he was filled with excitement.

"I've seen all of Senior Zhou's movies, they're truly amazing!"

Gu Tianle's face showed admiration as he spoke with great respect.

I wonder how many people envy me for having this filming opportunity!
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

Gu Tianle smiled and said, "I hope to learn more from Senior Zhou!"

Zhang Baizhi, standing to the side, seemed a little lost. As a young girl just entering society, she appeared somewhat shy.

Zhou Yang gently stroked her head and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, just take it slow!"

Zhang Baizhi felt warm. She originally thought that a big-name actor like Zhou Yang would not pay any attention to her, a newcomer.

Zhou Yang's actions made her feel even more favorably toward him, and her eyes sparkled.

"Thank you, Senior Zhou! Is there anything I don't understand that I can ask you for help?" Zhang Baizhi asked innocently, her eyes sparkling. This made Zhou Yang and the others laugh.

"Of course, you're welcome to ask me anytime!" Zhou Yang's tone was very gentle, which made Zhang Baizhi nod repeatedly, her admiration undisguised.

After signing the contract, the two were surprised to find that the remuneration was much higher than the market price, which further strengthened Zhang Baizhi's belief in collaborating with Zhou Yang.

For newcomers like Zhang Baizhi who have never acted before, the pay is often meager, making it difficult for production teams to accept them.

……

After the contract was signed, Zhou Yang drove away from the studio.

Next, he met with director Fumino, whom he had previously contacted by phone.

"Wow, long time no see! You're still as handsome as ever!" Wen Muye exclaimed excitedly, his aloof demeanor vanishing instantly upon seeing Zhou Yang.

No wonder he was so excited! Zhou Yang's single phone call made him overjoyed.

“That’s right, I’ve always been this handsome! Come on, let’s go inside and chat!” Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, okay!" The two walked into a teahouse together and were led into a private room by the waiter.

After sitting down, Fumino eagerly asked, "Where's the script? Where is it?"

He looked as eager as if he were searching for a rare treasure.

Zhou Yang smiled slightly and tossed the script onto the table.

Wen Muye hurriedly took the script, and as he opened it, his shock deepened. This script was truly amazing.

"If I were to direct this movie, I would be willing to film it for free!"

Fumino said excitedly, "This movie is really wonderful. The person who wrote such a script is truly talented!"
"The reward will certainly be substantial. If you're willing, we can set off in three days!"

Zhou Yang responded with a smile and a calm tone.

Wen Muye was extremely anxious, fearing that the opportunity would slip away.

After chatting for a while and having some tea, Zhou Yang drove away.

Three days later, Zhou Yang and the main creative team went to Huangshan for filming.

The evening scenery of Huangshan was perfect for this film, and Zhou Yang immediately thought of this location.

They rested at the hotel for one night, and the next day they began the intense filming.

While the natural scenery of Huangshan matches the movie perfectly, there are some issues: the sunlit areas are extremely hot, while the shady areas are cold.

Despite the harsh conditions, Zhou Yang arrived at the scene early in the morning to prepare for the set setup.

As a fantasy film, wire work is essential, and the pressure from various angles and conditions needs to be considered.

At this point, meticulous adjustments to the camera setup and lighting are required. Even experienced photographer Fumino would need to experiment to find the right spot.

Zhou Yang walked over to the staff member and instructed, "Place it in the southeast corner, and raise it a little higher! Yes, like that, adjust it up a bit more!"

Upon hearing this, the staff quickly made adjustments.

Looking at the angle of the camera, Wen Muye exclaimed, "This is a perfect composition! It captures both the foreground and background! I didn't expect you to adjust it so quickly. It's truly an eye-opener!"

Zhou Yang smiled slightly and replied, "In this industry, you're the senior! Haha!"

However, Wen Muye shook his head, knowing in his heart that Zhou Yang's talent was extraordinary.

In terms of directing skills, he may have already surpassed himself.

Some young people are truly talented, which makes Wen Muye feel both envious and admiring of Zhou Yang.
