"I didn't expect it would be the semi-finals so soon."
Bai Yangyu found a seat and sat down. Next to him was Ning Mang, who was visiting the scene for the first time.
This was also Zhou Yiyang's arrangement. He had to direct and record a program and it was inconvenient for him to come, so he could only let Bai Yangyu come to accompany him.
"Mr. Ning, have you been very busy recently? You haven't paid attention to our show for a long time." Bai Yangyu asked with a smile.
Ning Mang nodded, sighed, and complained, "That's not the case. I don't know what my dad's thinking lately. He's been asking me to run errands every day. But I only found time to read the entire "White Snake: Origin" yesterday."
"Really?" Bai Yangyu immediately asked enthusiastically, "What do you think after reading this, Young Master Ning?"
"Quite unexpected." Ning Mang's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that he had developed a strong interest in this topic. "At first, I thought works of this kind would easily fail. Now it seems that I underestimated Lao Zhou. Now when I think of Su Yin, my first reaction is actually White Snake. I have to say, he portrayed these characters in a very heartbreaking way."
"I think if Mr. Zhou were here, he would be very happy to hear Mr. Ning's evaluation." Bai Yangyu said with a smile.
"I heard that he should be shooting that short film collection recently? Come to think of it, I'm quite interested in it." Ning Mang raised his eyebrows. After all, art films were his favorite.
"Yes," Bai Yangyu nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be available to the audience during the summer."
Ning Mang raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help laughing. "Looks like they're really planning on releasing it in theaters? While the subject matter is definitely fine, it's still unclear whether this kind of compilation movie will be accepted by the audience. But your President Zhou has always been the first to try new things. Like the previous Logic Films, I think he was the first to set up an independent studio to produce art films."
"Yeah," Bai Yangyu cautiously unscrewed the cup and took a sip. "Our President Zhou always has different ideas from others. But Young Master Ning should have seen 'Yi Yi', right? I remember you even posted a review on your WeChat Moments."
"Yes," Ning Mang nodded and said with a smile, "I booked a private theater to see it on the day it was released. How should I put it, it was quite different from what I expected. I didn't expect Director Zhang to make such a personal film, nor did I expect that someone as money-loving as Mr. Zhou would invest in it."
"Could it be that Young Master Ning doesn't like it?" Bai Yangyu was quite surprised. After all, Yi Yi had struggled to break 100 million yuan at the box office during its release, and its Douban score had finally stabilized at 8.8. This at least showed that in the eyes of the literary youth, the film's quality was not bad.
Ning Mang then explained, "You misunderstood. I really like this movie. Whether it's the narrative style or its theme, I like it very much. I even went to see it several times later. But I think from a business perspective, this movie is not suitable for theaters. I saw many people on the ticket purchasing app saying that it was not good. When I couldn't understand it, I was actually quite upset."
"Well," Bai Yangyu actually wanted to say that I thought the same thing: "But this movie still made its investment back. And President Zhou also said that art films can also achieve good commercial results. The two are not contradictory. He is still very optimistic about the prospects of Logic Films."
"If I can really do it, of course I'll be happy." Ning Mang laughed. "Anyway, if the theater chain needs any help, you can contact me. Tell Lao Zhou that although I'm busy recently, we're still good brothers."
"I'm sure I will."
Zhou Yiyang was sitting on his mentor's recliner when he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind.
Could it be that someone is talking about me?
He leaned to the right and looked at Yu Lian: "Director Yu, I heard that your short film this time is a tearjerker? I'm quite looking forward to it."
"Who told you that?" After Yu Lian and Zhou Yiyang got to know each other better, she realized that he was often just like the other young men and would joke with him. "I know, Director Zhou, you've planted a secret line in my place, haven't you?"
"Director Yu," Chang Tiesheng said, having recorded so many episodes, he'd already relaxed a lot. He wasn't as averse to variety shows as he was at the beginning. "Think about it, this show is run by Director Zhou. It wouldn't be easy for him to get military intelligence."
Zhou Yiyang immediately covered his chest and explained, "Director Chang, you can't say that to me. Teacher, why are you secretly laughing while you're not speaking up for me?"
"To be honest, I'm quite happy to see Lao Chang so lively. It seems that it's not bad for us old bones to come out and record a program occasionally."
Chang Tiesheng nodded and continued, "That's true. Being on the set all day is really tiring."
Zhou Yiyang smiled but said nothing, thinking that they sounded so relaxed now, but they had been working harder than each other during the filming a few days ago.
These directors are talented actors.
In addition to the 1,000 audience members who came to the scene to record the program today, there were also 50 media judges consisting of film critics, producers and self-media people.
They have the opportunity to vote just like the public judges.
Every audience member who came to the scene was carefully screened by the program team.
For the sake of fairness and justice, Zhou Yiyang tried his best to avoid fans from voting.
Most of these people are fans of the show or just passers-by who are here to join in the fun.
When Pang Li came on stage, the audience immediately burst into warm applause.
Pang Li smiled happily. Thanks to the popularity of "The Actors Are in Place", her popularity has also increased.
Now finally no one would ask how she became Jiang Yang's partner.
Pang Li also knew that Zhou Yiyang was going to shoot a comedy film, in which she and Jiang Yang were the protagonists.
