the longest dream

Chapter 172
"Director Zhou Cheng?"

Zhang Qing was very surprised to see the stranger knocking on the door.

Director Zhou Cheng is a leading figure in the fifth generation of mainland directors.

He has also starred in several wonderful films and won awards.

The first film "Yellow Moon" won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the [-]th Berlin International Film Festival, the Best Feature Film Award at the [-]th China Film Golden Rooster Awards, and the Best Feature Film Award at the [-]th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films prize.

And because his films extolled the spirit of the Chinese nation, he was "praised" by his peers as "National Teacher".

I don't want Zhou Chengfei not to be afraid of being black, but to fight more and more bravely, and to win various awards in various domestic and international film festivals, and to win glory for the country.

There are not many people in the country who don't know him.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhang Qingzhang?"

Zhou Cheng looked at Zhang Qing, asked with a polite smile, and did not despise him because of his age.

With Zhou Cheng's status, this kind of demeanor directly moved Jin Xing and Li Chudong who followed behind.

Zhang Qing said: "Don't dare, Director Zhou, just call me Xiao Zhang. You are older than my father."

Zhou Cheng's simple face was full of smiles, and he said: "That's not good, that's not good. I heard that everyone around Mr. Zhang called him a young man. Although it was the first time we met, I also went to the village and called him a young man."

Zhang Qing couldn't bear it any longer. This person really met the elders in the Red Wall. He smiled bitterly and said, "Director Zhou, you can just call me Qingzi. My classmates and friends call me that, and the subordinates in the company occasionally I’m not used to calling you a young man, but there’s nothing I can do about it, they say I’m too young, and calling me the general manager looks down on me, it’s not the feudal society.”

Zhou Cheng said with a smile: "It's okay to be called Qingzi... But you don't need your address, I'm from Chang'an, you're from Xijiang, neither of them are from Pingjing, it's fine to use you, it's easier. People from Pingjing are good at everything, but their politeness is unbearable. Only they know what they are talking about you and what they are thinking."

The three of Zhang Qing laughed together and said yes one after another.

Afterwards, Zhang Qing introduced Jin Xing and Li Chudong to Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Cheng also shook hands with a smile on his face, being approachable.

It can be felt that his approachability is sincere, not from acting. At least Jin Xing and Li Chudong have become his loyal fans.

After being invited to sit down again in the backyard, Zhang Qing said with a smile: "It's not cold today, just after the exam, let's have some barbecue with two friends to relax."

Zhou Cheng joked: "With your current age and status, if you don't go to the club to feast and feast, you should find some singers to cheer you up."

Jin Xing and Li Chudong's spirits were shocked when they heard the words, and their eyes were all brightened, and they looked at Zhou Cheng with more cordial and warm eyes.

Sure enough, regardless of the age difference between men, as long as they talk about these, they can quickly get into the relationship.

Don't underestimate Zhou Cheng, honest and down-to-earth, he actually has the restless heart of a man, but it's not so absurd.

Jin Xing doubted: "Zhang Qing said that he is ignored in the industry, and he doesn't know female celebrities at all."

Zhang Qing said bluntly: "I didn't know him at first."

After Zhou Cheng chewed a mouthful of mutton skewers, he said with a smile, "I've heard about it. Many awards ceremonies wanted to invite you to go, but you didn't go to any of them. People from the company said that you were studying for the final exam. No way. Too low-key, not like people in the industry."

In fact, he has also heard about the current hottest newcomer and some issues in the Beijing music circle. At least the music award ceremony in Pingjing rarely invites Du Juan.

Zhang Qing talked about business: "Director Zhou is here this time, is there something to do?"

Zhou Cheng became more serious, looked at Zhang Qing and said with a smile: "Okay, you young people are more agile, so I'll get straight to the point. I'm preparing to make a movie now, which is about a rural girl in a remote mountain village who follows People from the countryside went to work in the city, experienced all kinds of hardships, encountered many absurd, dangerous and desperate tragedies, but finally saw the story of the sun. Since 92, there has been a wave of rural farmers going to work in the city. More than [-] million farmers have migrated to the coast and cities to work, and the number has increased year by year. Such a huge number, how much blood and tears are behind it? This is a movie about the struggle of the people at the bottom. I think filmmakers should There is a certain social responsibility and responsibility, so I want to shoot it."

Both Jin Xing and Li Chudong understood, and they probably saw Zhou Yanyan.

Zhang Qing also understood, he smiled and said: "Director Zhou wants to find the girl in the MV to make a movie?"

Zhou Cheng nodded and said, "Exactly! I saw this MV by accident the other day, and I was astonished! I've been filming for so many years, and I've never seen such a beautiful one. I found out about you after looking for a lot of connections. Once you get it Xin'er, I ran here by myself."

Zhang Qing hesitated and said: "Director Zhou, with all due respect, you should know that your family has never been in contact with film and television, and you have never studied acting. How can you bear the burden of being the heroine of Director Zhou's movie? Rural, but in fact, I don’t see much of the temperament of rural people.”

Zhou Cheng said with a smile: "It's not the heroine, the supporting actress...actually it's double heroines. There is a contrast in the movie, a girl from the countryside and a lady from a wealthy family in the city. You don't need much acting skills, just wear a famous brand, Eat well and dress well... Don't worry, she's not a villain, but she's a bit of a misunderstanding, but she's also a kind girl, and she eventually became good friends with a rural girl. Otherwise, she won't pass the trial. It’s easy to win prizes outside. Foreigners like to watch our tragedies, but it’s not suitable.”

After Zhang Qing thought for a while, he said, "Director Zhou, to tell you the truth, Du Juan has his own ideas about Yanyan's career plan. First release a record, and then make a movie. Island kung fu movies. Commercial movies are much easier to shoot, beautiful enough. Literary movies, she can’t shoot well.”

Zhou Cheng hurriedly said: "Qingzi, I didn't come here. I really value the girl's appearance and her popularity. You are worried that her acting skills are not good enough. See if this is okay. The old professor Tian Yueying is a good friend, I asked her to come out of the mountain and teach that girl for the first half of the year.

So many big stars in Hong Kong Island came out of the wireless training class. In fact, the first session only takes half a year, and there are so many people in the first session.

Professor Tian has retired from the position of department head for a few years, so I begged her to accept Yanyan as a closed disciple.

She is highly respected in the industry. With her as a teacher, so many big stars and directors have become senior brothers and sisters, and no one will dare to bully her in the future. "

They are all adults, let alone have no friendship, even if they have friendship and ask for help from others, they must understand the principle of benefit exchange, otherwise they will not be able to do well.

Zhang Qing was not moved immediately, but he should find a teacher to teach acting skills. He thought for a while and said, "Director Zhou, I'll think about it. Leave a call and I'll give you an answer within three days. By the way, Director Zhou , Do you have a contracted film and television company now?"

Zhou Cheng was a little funny when he heard that, he might not be able to find an actor, but this young man wanted to poach him as a director. He laughed and said, "Now at Xinxiang Film Company."

It was only last year that he really started to make films from the state-owned factory.

Zhang Qingdao: "May I ask, Director Zhou of Xinxiang Film Company should not be a shareholder or a partner, right?"

Zhou Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I am a director, but Xinxiang's boss Zhou Yan and I have been friends for many years."

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Since we are friends, if Du Juan Media wants to invite Zhou Dao to go to Hong Kong Island to make a movie during his free time, there is no reason for that boss Zhou to stop him? Didn't he sign an exclusive contract?"

Zhou Cheng was a little moved when he heard the words, and said: "That's not true, I didn't even sign a formal contract... As long as the schedules don't conflict, it shouldn't be a big problem. However, Xinxiang may invest."

Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "Since we haven't even signed the contract, we naturally don't have the right to invest. But don't be in a hurry, and Director Zhou shouldn't show his words, because we are still a little busy here, and we won't be able to start filming until the end of next year at the earliest. Zhou The director can make a new movie first, and then come here to see it later."

"……OK then."

……

into the night.

Not long after Zhou Cheng left, Zhang Lan and Qiao Yue came over, each holding a candied haws in their hands, laughing while eating.

Seeing the place with three boys, except for beer, there are grilled skewers, Qiao Yue said with contempt: "Anyway, make a plate of peanuts for a change of mouth!"

Zhang Qing hehe, Jin Xing held grudges, Li Chudong saw that the two were not talking, so he forced a smile and said: "It's...it's okay, it's...it's fine."

Zhang Qing and Jin Xing played tricks and laughed together, Li Chudong's face turned red immediately, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and slip in.

Qiao Yue said injustice: "You guys are too bad, deliberately bullying people?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "No...it's okay, we're...very good."

Jin Xing laughed wildly, but Li Chudong hit the second animal with his fist without saying a word.

In his heart, he hoped coquettishly that Qiao Yue, a girl with a first-class appearance and a pair of charming eyes, would continue to help him, maybe from now on...

But before he finished thinking, Qiao Yue looked at Zhang Qing and pursed her lips and said, "It seems that you really treat the two of them as friends, and when you were with me...you have never seen you so lively before." Since we are real friends, let's go and play together? We have a lot of food, roast duck, grilled fish, roasted hoof, and some cooked side dishes, fruit snacks, we can't finish it, it's cheaper for you. "

Presumably it was called and someone bought it and delivered it.

Zhang Qing asked Zhang Lan, "Has the water gone?"

Zhang Lan shook her head and said, "She won't go, neither will Yue Shan, but I gave them a lot of food."

Qiao Yue said with emotion: "It's really unusual for such a young child to think so righteously. Why, you guys want to compare yourself with that child? Could it be that you're still holding grudges?" Suddenly the topic turned to Jin Xing.

Jin Xing panicked, with a calm expression on his face, and a rather speechless tone: "What kind of hatred is that? I forgot. But I have to take care of my brother. He is shy when he sees beautiful women, and he can't speak. Trembling too, we cannot leave him..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yue looked at Li Chudong, and saw Li Chudong's round face turned redder.

She chuckled and said, "That's going to be over soon, my friends will definitely help you cure this problem tonight!"

Li Chudong is also a wonderful person, he covered his heart, and tremblingly said, "Forget it... Forget it, I... I'm flustered."

Zhang Qing and Jin Xing laughed wildly, and Zhang Lan also laughed.

Qiao Yue had no choice but to stare at the instigator, Zhang Qing, and turned away.

However, after walking a few steps, she turned around suddenly, and saw two boys, one fat and one thin, looking back in a panic. Looking in the direction of the rest, it should be her butt.

Two bastards!
It's a pity that those who should see it don't, and those who shouldn't see it carelessly.

The fox-like eyes glared at the laughing Zhang Qing again, Qiao Yue took Zhang Lan and really left.

But after a while, all the girls moved here with all kinds of delicious food.

Compared to Zhang Qing's surprise, Jin Xing and Li Chudong got excited.

But Qiao Yue saw that in front of Zhou Yanyan, the two of them were really quiet, elegant and refined. They were both funny and helpless, and cursed in their hearts:

Grandma! !
