Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 102 Zhou Xun's Anger, La La Land Wraps Up

"Director Zhou, can I take a photo of you alone?"

"Qin Hao, can you smile a little? Don't be so stern."

As the crew was opened to media visits, the first batch of reporters were allowed in.

In order to promote "La La Land", Zhou Qing had already notified everyone and asked everyone to cooperate as much as possible.

Zhou Qing himself did the same.

Reporters from Jiulang Entertainment and Sougu shot a lot of footage.

"Director Zhou, with your image, you are more than qualified to be an actor."

"If they don't know, who would know that you are the director?"

The reporter from Jiulang Entertainment even joked with Zhou Qing, but what he said was actually from his heart.

Although Director Zhou doesn't look as handsome as Nicholas Tse or Chen Kun, his appearance can only be considered above average at best.

But looking at the entire entertainment industry, how many are as handsome as that?
The most important thing is to have temperament and style so that people can remember you.

Of course, the most important thing is that Director Zhou is too young, too young.

There is really only one such young director in the whole country.

"Haha, maybe in the future, I will really get to experience what it's like to be an actor."

Zhou Qing just smiled.

Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?

Master Zhang is one of the country's leading directors, but few people know that he is also an excellent actor.

The best actor has won quite a few awards.

He has won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers awards, and even the Tokyo Film Festival's Best Actor award.

That was also the first time he won the Best Actor Award at a Category A film festival in China.

Feng Xiaogang is slightly inferior to Zhang Guoshi, but who dares to say that his acting skills were bad in his cameo in "Kung Fu"?

He will later win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with Mr. Six.

"Director Zhou, let's take a group photo with the main creators."

After finishing the individual shots, the reporter made a proposal to Zhou Qing and others.

Naturally, everyone would not refuse, and they immediately found a suitable location and gathered together.

Qin Hao, Zhou Xun, Yan Danchen, Chen Kun and others, as well as Zhang Songwen, all surrounded Zhou Qing and posed.

Click!

The shutter sounds.

The first set photo of "La La Land" was born.

"Director Zhou, how is the current progress of La La Land? How far has the filming progressed?"

"We have already finished filming half of the content. According to preliminary estimates, we will be able to wrap up the filming in late June or early July."

"People are speculating about what kind of movie La La Land is. Can Director Zhou reveal some of it now?"

"I can only say that this movie is about dreams and love. Everyone will know when it is released."

"..."

After the interview, the crew did not forget to give these reporters thick red envelopes.

I believe that after they go back, they will definitely give some corresponding positive coverage to "La La Land".

"Okay, everyone get ready, we'll resume filming in half an hour!"

Following Zhou Qing's order, the interrupted filming resumed.

If the previous scenes were all about the heroine's show, then the next scene will be the hero's show.

"start!"

The clapperboard was then put down.

Zhou Xun's voice began to float over.

"Mom, he doesn't have much savings now. He's still saving money, but he's working hard."

"He is also very talented, and I believe he will be successful in the future."

"Mom, don't worry, I won't make a mistake."

Zhou Xun was on the phone, and even though he lowered his voice deliberately, Qin Hao still heard it.

Qin Hao seemed to be wearing his clothes and tie as if nothing had happened, but his expression was becoming more and more strange.

He was stimulated.

His eyes finally became firm.

Qin Hao made a decision to find his old classmate Lao Sun and accept Lao Sun's olive branch.

Although this was not what Qin Hao wanted, Qin Hao felt that he had to consider his lover.

Dreams cannot be eaten as food.

He was willing to give up his dream for Zhou Xiaowen and do a job he didn't like against his will.

He wants to make money.

From beginning to end of this scene, Zhou Xun was just a background board making a phone call, and the entire shot was Qin Hao's.

Qin Hao didn't have any lines, he was just tidying up his clothes.

But it is necessary to show the entire psychological changes of the male protagonist.

Frankly speaking, it is more of a test of acting skills.

"Crack!"

"Qin Hao, you're not in the right mood."

Even a talented player like Qin Hao had to be rejected twice before he could meet Zhou Qing's requirements.

"The Return of the Condor Heroes" has already begun its grand casting process.

We don’t even know when it will be filmed, but it’s already caused such a stir.

All the popular male and female stars were pulled out and rubbed against by Zhang Da Huzi.

Contributed a lot of heat.

This is Zhang Da Huzi's usual method. He is indeed a master of hype.

What’s interesting is that even Zhou Xun, who was filming “La La Land” with Zhou Qing, was not spared.

"That's outrageous. I never said I was considering playing the role of Little Dragon Girl."

Zhou Xun was completely speechless.

Zhang Jizhong really has no shame at all.

Are you really just going to force yourself on me without even saying hello?

"Brother Xun, if you ask me, you should reconsider it. Your little dragon girl is something I'm looking forward to."

Zhou Qing almost couldn't hold back as he spoke.

Think about Zhou Xun’s Huang Rong, who shocks everyone with her words.

If Xiaolongnu also had that kind of voice.

Zhou Qing no longer dared to think about it.

"Why do I feel like you have bad intentions?"

Zhou Xun tilted his head and looked at Zhou Qing, as if he could see through Zhou Qing.

"No way, it must be your imagination."

How could Zhou Qing admit it? He shook his head with confidence.

"Director Zhou!"

Liu Yifei also came to visit the set as she promised.

She stood in front of Zhou Qing with a smile as beautiful as a flower, blinking her big eyes and looking at Zhou Qing.

"What are you directing? You must be doing this on purpose!"

Zhou Qing shook his head.

Unless they are here to perform their own plays, the students from Class 02 will still call each other by their names.

The title "Director Zhou" is really too formal.

"There are other people here."

Liu Yifei smiled and glanced at the other actors around her.

"It's ok."

Zhou Qing didn't care at all.

"Good job, Director Zhou. I was wondering why the filming was paused. Turns out Wang Yuyan is here."

Zhou Xun came over and joked in a nonchalant manner.

"Hello, Sister Zhou Xun, I really like your acting, you act so well."

Liu Yifei immediately greeted Zhou Xun sweetly.

"Thank you, the little girl is really smart."

Zhou Xun also responded to Liu Yifei with a smile, and glanced at Zhou Qing meaningfully, "She's still very beautiful, isn't she, Director Zhou?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Qing nodded frankly.

A hint of pride appeared on Liu Yifei's cheeks.

"Why don't I see Brother Kun?"

After a brief greeting, Liu Yifei asked casually.

She and Chen Kun had worked together on "The Story of a Noble Family", although Chen Kun scolded her at the beginning for not being able to act.

But since they are also filming "La La Land", it is indeed time to say hello.

"Chen Kun finished filming a long time ago." Zhou Qing explained to Liu Yifei that Chen Kun was just a minor supporting role with very limited screen time.

The filming was completed in just a few days, and Zhang Songwen also finished filming and left a long time ago.

"Hello, Brother Qin Hao, I'm Liu Yifei."

Seeing Qin Hao, Liu Yifei also politely called him.

"Hello, I know you, Wang Yuyan."

Qin Hao also exchanged a few words with Liu Yifei.

However, they didn't chat for too long and then tactfully left with Zhou Xun.

"By the way, is your movie going to be released soon?"

Zhou Qing chatted with Liu Yifei for a while and then remembered something.

In fact, Liu Yifei also filmed a movie while filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

It's called "May Love".

It was filmed in Taiwan and was completed in two weeks.

Frankly speaking, Zhou Qing was still quite curious. Wasn't this speed a bit too fast?

However, when I searched my memory, I had no impression of this movie at all.

It was obviously a flop that didn't make any waves.

"You still remember that it will be released next month."

When Liu Yifei talked about this, there was boundless anticipation on her face.

Which TV actor doesn’t want to act in movies these days?

Especially when she's the heroine.

"Don't worry, I'll go and see."

Zhou Qing said to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei attended both of his films to show her support, and now it's Zhou Qing's turn to return the favor.

"You said this, don't forget it."

Liu Yifei gave Zhou Qing earnest instructions.

"I won't forget it. No matter how busy I am, I will find time to watch it."

Zhou Qing made such a promise to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei said she was very happy.

"Aren't you going to audition for the role of Little Dragon Girl? This role is tailor-made for you. No one is more suitable than you."

The two also talked about the recent hot topic "The Return of the Condor Heroes", and Zhou Qing began to encourage Liu Yifei.

And I didn't fool the girl, I told the absolute truth.

Liu Yifei is indeed very suitable for the role of Xiaolongnu.

"You really think so?"

There was a smile in Liu Yifei's eyes again.

"Of course, you are the Little Dragon Girl in my mind."

"You only know how to say nice things."

Liu Yifei's eyes curved into crescents.

Then she spoke mysteriously to Zhou Qing, "Actually, my mom has already made arrangements. If nothing goes wrong, I will go for the audition in two days."

"Then I wish you, Xixi, to capture Little Dragon Girl."

Zhou Qing sent a congratulatory message to Liu Yifei in advance.

"Actually, I'm under a lot of pressure because many celebrities are vying for this role."

Liu Yifei expressed some concerns.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but secretly complain.

What kind of pressure do you have as a resource person?
This role is definitely yours.

Otherwise, Liu Yifei would have been just a little-known celebrity at that time, and would have been far from becoming truly famous after the broadcast of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Strictly speaking, the status is seriously insufficient.

Why did Zhang Da Huzi give such an important female lead role to Liu Yifei?

Especially Wang Yuyan in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", Liu Yifei was still a newcomer at that time.

"I have good news for you. I passed the audition!"

A week later, Liu Yifei excitedly told Zhou Qing the good news.

"I told you, Xixi, this role belongs to you!"

Zhou Qing was not surprised by this.

After chatting with Liu Yifei for a while, he continued directing.

At present, most of the story of "La La Land" has been filmed.

After the male protagonist Qin Chao joined Lao Sun's band, his career developed smoothly and improved greatly.

But because of this, the differences with the heroine are increasing.

In the end, the two sides had a big fight.

"My career is now on track, I have income, I have savings, but you are suddenly dissatisfied? Why didn't you tell me this before I signed the contract?"

"I was just pointing out that you once had a dream. Do you still have it now?"

"this is my dream!"

“This is not your dream!”

"People like me have worked hard all my life just to get recognition from others and make others like my music. Now I have achieved it."

"I don't understand. When did you care whether others like you or not? If you care that much..."

"You don't understand? You're an actor!"

In front of the camera, Qin Hao and Zhou Xun were both quite excited, and their voices were getting louder and louder.

This was the third time we filmed this scene, and we had already stopped twice before.

This time, both sides completely immersed themselves in their roles and performed at their best.

It completely met Zhou Qing's requirements.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

Zhou Qing stood up from behind the monitor.

"Director Zhou."

"Hua brother."

On June 6, the filming of "A World Without Thieves", which attracted great attention from the entire industry, was completed.

Liu Dehua, the male lead, did not breathe a sigh of relief.

Because "House of Flying Daggers" is about to be released, he has to go along with the promotion.

However, one of the promotional points was not far from Zhou Qing and his team, so Andy came over to check it out.

"Departures has such a good box office, I only have the chance to congratulate you now."

Liu Dehua said to Zhou Qing with a smile.

"What good is that? I'm going to be killed by your 'Ambush from All Sides' soon."

Zhou Qing was not being modest, but really expressing his admiration.

Andy Lau can be said to be on a strong run this year. His movies "House of Flying Daggers" and "A World Without Thieves" both made over 100 million yuan at the box office, ranking second and third in the annual box office respectively.

If we exclude the Hong Kong movie "Kung Fu", the first and second place in mainland China in 04 would both go to Andy Lau.

"It's only temporary. You'll fight back sooner or later."

Liu Dehua became humble.

"When will your play be finished?"

"Soon, maybe in two days."

The two sides also talked about the filming of "La La Land".

Zhou Qing told the truth, now only the last bit of finishing touches is left.

With Zhou Xun and Qin Hao's superb acting skills, two days are enough.

It turned out that Zhou Qing's guess was very correct. At noon on the third day, the last scene was filmed.

Zhou Xiaowen and Qin Chao have been separated for many years and have married and started a family.

Qin Chao, her former lover, seemed to have been erased from her life.

However, fate seemed to play a joke on Zhou Xiaowen, and she met Qin Chao again.

Zhou Xiaowen looked at the high-spirited Qin Chao on the stage, and suddenly she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, with all kinds of emotions surging in her heart.

So what about the Qin Dynasty?
The same is true.

The two of them separated only because of dreams and reality, but their feelings are still there.

But times have changed and nothing can go back to the way it was.

So the two of them pretended to be strangers from beginning to end and didn't even say hello.

But when Zhou Xiaowen left, Qin Chao looked at her back, a little dazed.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

"Now I declare that La La Land has finished filming!"
