Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 28 Operation Red Sea
Bonna Films
The conference room was filled with smoke. Director Lin Chaoxian was flipping through the cast list, holding a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth.

Producer Yu Dong knocked on the table and said, "Old Lin, this is the third meeting, and we still haven't decided on the male lead, Yang Rui? What did Wu Jing say?"

Lin Chaoxian sighed, "Wu Jing? Forget it. How could that guy even have the energy to take on acting roles now? He was so obsessed with Wolf Warrior 2 that he even sold his house."

"What about Huang Xiaoming?"

"His wife is pregnant and he wants to be with her during the birthing process!"

"Fuck, that was the same excuse we gave when we filmed the Mekong River last time! Is Baby really that fertile? Or does he have another wife?"

Yu Dong slammed the script onto the conference table with a loud "bang", shaking the ashtray a few times, and felt very annoyed.

"Operation Red Sea" is the most important project of Bonanza Pictures this year, a main-theme commercial film produced in collaboration with the Naval Political Department Television Art Center.

It is mainly based on the 2015 "Yemen Evacuation" incident and the real events of the Chinese Navy's overseas rescue operation.

This project has received great attention from everyone, but it is currently stuck on the selection of actors.

"Why don't we try Zhang Yi? Mr. Wang from Huayi Brothers has discussed this with me several times. The pay isn't a big deal, and they can also offer resources in exchange."

"Let's wait and see. Put him on the reserve list first."

"can!"

Next, Deputy Captain Du Jiang, female war correspondent Hai Qing and others were also confirmed one by one.

But when they met the second male sniper Gu Shun, they started arguing again.

"Hey, Lao Lin, why do you have to be so stubborn about Peng Yuyan? He's filming an idol drama in Taiwan."

Lin Chaoxian slowly let out a frown and said, "I'm not trying to be stubborn, but apart from him, who among the young actors in the domestic entertainment industry can play this role well?"

"They're all so sissy, will the higher-ups agree when the time comes?"

At this time, the assistant director handed over a piece of information and said, "Director Yu, Director Lin, what do you think of this person named Huang Jingyu? She's a model, tall and long-legged, and she fits the image quite well."

"He looks okay. How about letting him try out the play?"

"Speaking of tough guys, I think of someone."

"Do you remember? There was a similar role in Wu Jing's Wolf Warrior 2. Zhang Han was originally chosen, but was later replaced by a new actor."

"His name is Gu Yang, right? I saw the news too. Wu Jing's illegitimate son!"

"Ahem," Yu Dong nearly spit out the tea he had just taken. "That's all just nonsense from the media. I was talking to Wu Jing about it on the phone a few days ago, and he was full of praise for this guy."

"He is definitely the new generation of actors who is most suitable for playing tough guy roles!"

"Oh?" Lin Chaoxian's eyes lit up.

"Then send him an audition notice and ask him to come over and take a look."

"it is good!"

……

"Xiao Yangzi, what should we buy when we go to visit the set?"

"I don't know!"

"I heard from my senior sisters that I can buy milk tea or coffee?"

"How much sugar do you want?"

"Forget it, just order whatever you want when the time comes."

Gu Yang and Zhou Ye were driving on the highway to the Magic City at this time.

Meng Ziyi is currently filming "Liang Sheng, Can We Not Be Sad" in Shanghai, in which she plays the second female lead Mo Yang.

So, Gu Yang, who had just returned from the Mushroom House, was dragged by Zhou Ye to visit the set before he had even stayed in school for a few days.

Girls' friendships are quite strange. Meng Ziyi and Zhou Ye haven't met much, but they're as close as sisters. "Hey, big sis, can you please take your legs off my dashboard? You're blocking my rearview mirror."

Gu Yang held the steering wheel with his left hand and casually moved his right hand, trying to move Zhou Ye's little feet in pink socks away from the corner of his eyes.

"Okay, Xiao Yangzi, I knew you were peeking! Otherwise, how would you know I was blocking your rearview mirror!"

Zhou Ye tilted the chair back to make himself more comfortable.

"Are your legs beautiful?"

Gu Yang's mouth twitched, he glanced at him with disdain and said:

"Take off your long johns and change into black stockings before you say this to me!"

"Ah... bastard, I'm not wearing long johns!" Zhou Ye's fury instantly exploded, and he was about to pounce on him with his teeth and claws bared, "I'll bite you to death..."

"Stop it...I'm driving!"

With Zhou Ye making noises beside us, the journey became a lot more joyful.

After driving and stopping many times, it took them nearly two days to reach the Magic City.

As for why not take airplanes or high-speed trains?
Well, for Gu Yang, he couldn’t just keep the R8 parked and unused after buying it.

The TV series "Liang Sheng, Can We Not Be Sad" is an urban romance drama directed by Liu Junjie.

Adapted from the novel of the same name by Le Xiaomi.

Speaking of this book, it's awesome.

This is an old-fashioned brain-twisting masterpiece that combines many sadistic elements such as terminal illness, cliff jumping, pseudo-orthopedics, car accidents, amnesia, robbery, half-siblings, and love triangles.

Many fans cried while watching this melodrama, which is said to be a rare and bloody drama that only appears once in a century.

I don’t know how it caught the attention of investors, and they filmed 70 episodes in one go.

Many stars including Wallace Chung, Ma Tianyu, Yu Menglong, Sun Yi, Meng Ziyi and others were invited to participate in the show.

They are currently filming in a hospital in Shanghai.

When Gu Yang and his team arrived, they found that the filming area was cordoned off and there were several staff members guarding the entrance.

The two of them then made a phone call, and not long after, Meng Ziyi's newly hired assistant ran out panting.

"Is this Teacher Gu and Teacher Zhou? Sorry to have kept you waiting. Sister Meng is filming right now, so let me take you in."

After saying that, she even looked at Gu Yang deliberately. She knew that judging from Sister Meng's excited expression when she received the call from this guy, the relationship between them must be complicated.

"Thank you. By the way, could you please tell the staff that I ordered some coffee and it will be delivered shortly? Could you please arrange for someone to pick it up?"

"Okay, Teacher Gu, please come in and I'll take you there."

Under the guidance of the assistant, Gu Yang and Zhou Ye walked through the crowd and arrived at the shooting site facing many curious gazes.

Meng Ziyi was filming a scene with Ma Tianyu at this time. Gu Yang watched her from the side for a while and was still quite curious.

Uh...how should I put it, Sister Meng’s acting skills are a bit immature at the moment.

He also found that the pace of filming TV series was very fast. Basically, if there were no major problems with a shot, it would be passed and the next one would be moved on.

It is completely different from the filming method in movies where they have to do dozens of NGs to finish a shot.

After Meng Ziyi finished filming this set of shots, she greeted the director and rushed over happily.

The girl is wearing a red short coat today, with a red and white patterned dress underneath, and the overall look is bright and vibrant.

"Xiaoye." Meng Ziyi first gave Zhou Ye a big hug.

Gu Yang felt jealous and stretched out his hands to her, but was successfully met with a roll of the eyes.

This kid is getting bolder and bolder!
