Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 130 The mysterious boss came to the door, and the filming of "Hearing Girl" started

"Old Hu, you've been chosen by Director Zhou to play the leading actor. You're going to be rich!"

At the theater, good brother Yuan Hong patted Brother Hu's shoulder heavily, looking so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

Director Zhou’s films are well known. Not only have they won the three major European awards, but they have also had very good box office results.

Even if we look at the entire entertainment industry, he is one of the directors who provides the greatest bonus to actors.

So when it comes to Director Zhou's movies, everyone in the entertainment industry, including the top celebrities, are trying their best to get in.

For a "newcomer" like Brother Hu who is acting in TV dramas, that is simply out of reach.

Honestly speaking, although Yuan Hong tried his best to persuade Brother Hu to send in his resume, he didn't have much hope for it.

However, who would have thought that Brother Hu was actually chosen by Director Zhou!
What kind of incredible luck is this?
The entire Shanghai Theatre Academy is going crazy with envy.

"I didn't expect Director Zhou to choose me."

To be honest, Brother Hu still feels a little confused.

There is a feeling of utter unreality.

Director Zhou, who is ranked alongside the three great directors Zhang, Chen and Feng, actually gave the leading male role to himself?
It's like a dream.

What followed was great happiness and surprise, and an excited smile quickly appeared on Brother Hu's lips, which he couldn't suppress no matter what.

It would be a great joy if Director Zhou chose me!
"Ms. K."

Cai Yinong even called specifically and her voice also sounded extremely happy.

"Congratulations, Brother Hu, you got the leading role in Director Zhou's new film!"

Cai Yinong was alarmed and congratulated Brother Hu in person.

When she was on the set of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", she specifically recommended Brother Hu to Zhou Qing, but it was just a routine recommendation.

I didn't hold out much hope at all.

After all, Director Zhou’s level is too high, and it is simply not something Brother Hu can reach.

But who would have thought that the surprise came so suddenly. It has only been more than half a year, and Director Zhou actually used Brother Hu.

Still the male lead!
This is a really happy event for the entire sugar man.

It's not just as simple as Tangren's actor winning director Zhou's leading male role. It's also a crucial step for Tangren to enter the film industry.

"Ms. K, I still can't believe it."

Brother Hu spoke the truth, his voice full of great excitement.

I chatted with Cai Yinong for a long time before ending the call.

"Brother Hu, congratulations, you're going to be starring in Director Zhou's new play."

"Brother Hu, you really scared everyone by being so quiet."

"Congratulations, Brother Hu, you are really going to be rich."

Other classmates also actively sent congratulatory messages, and their envious and jealous eyes overwhelmed Brother Hu.

The Central Academy of Drama was a bit disappointing this time.

Unlike "Departures" and "La La Land", Director Zhou didn't even bring the Central Academy of Drama to play this time.

The male lead is from Shanghai Theatre Academy, Jiang Wenli, Huang Bo and Wang Jinsong, and the three important supporting actors are all from Beijing Film Academy!

The Central Academy of Drama didn't even have a sip of soup.

"Director Zhou."

"Brother Hua, come in and sit down."

Liu Dehua went to Huayi to discuss something and came to visit Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing naturally expressed his warm welcome.

There are actually not many actors he likes from Hong Kong, but Andy Lau is one of them.

The two have collaborated before and have kept in touch since then, and their relationship is pretty good.

"It's such a pity that I didn't get to act in your movie 'Hearing Girl'. I've been waiting for you to ask me to act in a movie again."

Liu Dehua said to Zhou Qing in a joking tone.

Liu Dehua naturally hopes to work more with a great director like Zhou Qing.

"If there is a suitable role in the future, Brother Hua should not refuse it."

Zhou Qing just smiled.

"How could that be? If Director Zhou calls me, I will definitely be there whenever he calls."

Liu Dehua said this immediately.

The two sides chatted casually and it was quite pleasant.

During the discussion, they also talked about Chow Yun-fat's depression, which has attracted much attention in the circle recently.

"Fa Zai's condition is indeed not very good. He has been too depressed in Hollywood these years."

Liu Dehua still felt quite sad when he said this.

Not everyone can make a name for themselves in Hollywood like Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie.

Chow Yun-fat went to Hollywood to develop his career in 95. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the only movie he can show off is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

That photo was taken by Li An.

Plus Hollywood’s discrimination against Chinese people.

You can imagine what kind of situation Chow Yun-fat is in over there even if you use your thighs to imagine.

"Why go there? You won't be valued. It would be great to stay here. You can shoot whatever you want and try out all kinds of roles."

Liu Dehua completely disagrees with Chow Yun-fat's obsession with Hollywood. After all, it is not that easy to be Jackie Chan.

He actually advised Chow Yun-fat to come back, but he didn't listen at all.

"Brother Hua's "Childhood Dream" is about to be filmed, right?"

The two sides also talked about Liu Dehua's next new film.

Liu Dehua also revealed to Zhou Qing that Feng Xiaogang will have a cameo appearance in this movie.

"Director Feng is making another cameo appearance?"

Zhou Qing was quite surprised by this.

Feng Xiaogang is just like Ning Hao, keen on making cameo appearances in movies. Didn’t he just make a cameo appearance in "Kung Fu"?

I didn't expect to make a guest appearance again.

"Director Zhou."

The preparation work for "The Hearing Girl" is progressing steadily. Zhou Qing took some time to go and see how Shu Chang, Feng Yuanzheng and Huang Bo are training.

All of them are very dedicated actors. Although they have only trained for a week, they have already performed well.

However, Zhou Qing's requirements have always been to strive for perfection, so the training of several people has to continue.

Until it is mature and smooth.

"Director Zhou, this is the character biography I wrote. Please correct it and see if there are any problems."

Feng Yuanzheng also handed over a 20,000-word biography of the character, which made Zhou Qing secretly sigh in his heart.

No wonder Feng Yuanzheng’s characterization is so good. If nothing else, his simple professionalism is admirable.

"Teacher Feng really puts a lot of effort into it."

Zhou Qing was very satisfied.

After greeting Feng Yuanzheng, he carefully read the short letter written by the other party.

He couldn't help but nod throughout the whole process.

The characters are analyzed very deeply and from many angles.

It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into it.

"Teacher Feng, your character analysis is very good, but there are some areas that I think can be further explored."

Zhou Qing pointed out some of the deviations in a tactful way.

"So that's how it is. I see. I indeed overlooked it before."

The two sides' thoughts continued to collide, and Feng Yuanzheng's understanding of the character became more and more profound.

During this period, Jiang Wenli, Shu Chang and Huang Bo also joined in, and the discussion was very beneficial to everyone.

"That music teacher gave it to Jinsong, right? It's going to be lively when the filming starts." Then everyone started chatting, and when they talked about Wang Jinsong, they couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Wenli was from the class of 88 at Beijing Film Academy, while Wang Jinsong was from the class of 90, so there is only a difference of two classes.

They are real alumni, so there is no need to explain much about their relationship.

So what about Feng Yuanzheng?

I have worked with Wang Jinsong on "Don't Talk to Strangers", so we are old acquaintances.

"Director Zhou, Mr. Lu is here."

When most of the preparatory work was in progress, a mysterious man came to visit Zhou Qing.

From the bright and glorious Lu Zong.

Xingguang Canlan is a new entertainment company established in January this year, so it is not very noticeable in the circle for the time being.

But this road is not easy.

In just a few months, I have come into contact with many top bosses in the industry.

Anyone with eyesight can see the energy behind it.

Although Zhou Qing would not run over and lick the body of such a person,

But since they have come to visit, giving them a welcome is the least we can do.

"I see."

Zhou Qing nodded.

After simply tidying up the work at hand, he went to the reception room.

A man in a suit and tie, who looked plain but very elegant, was already sitting there waiting.

"Director Zhou is so young but has produced so many excellent works. He has become a famous director on par with Zhang Guoshi and Chen Kai. It is really amazing. I have wanted to come and visit him for a long time."

When Mr. Lu saw Zhou Qing appear, he stood up and greeted Zhou Qing politely.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for your compliment. It's because you all think highly of me."

Zhou Qing stepped forward, shook hands with Mr. Lu, and started a simple greeting.

"Director Zhou, although Xingguang Canlan is just a newly established company, we are well prepared."

"We have strong financial strength, an excellent publicity and promotion team, and a very complete industrial chain, covering the entire industrial chain from film and television investment to production and publicity."

"We have put all our efforts into this project and we hope to have the opportunity to work with industry leaders like Director Zhou in the future."

Mr. Lu did not have any other purpose. He just wanted to say hello and pay his respects to the bigwigs in the industry when the new company was established.

After all, we will be in this circle in the future, and we may come into contact with each other someday.

Ever since Zhou Qing's name became known, he has seen a lot of such things, and many big investors have actually come.

Zhou Qing always responded with a smile.

Don't promise anything, but also don't let people find fault with anything.

However, Zhou Qing was not interested in exposing Mr. Lu.

This person's radiance was exactly the same as the red star Wu behind Liu Yifei.

It sounds so nice and lofty, but in the end it is just to praise someone.

"Big, this is going to debut."

After Mr. Lu left, Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh.

The female stars in the entertainment industry are afraid that they will soon have a powerful rival.

Still the most unsolvable kind of resource guy.

"Director Zhou."

"Producer Hu."

April is almost here, and Zhou Qing finally met with producer Hu to review the progress of "The Hearing Girl".

Everything went as planned without any problems.

I also communicated with several main actors, and everyone's preliminary preparations were completed very well.

Everyone couldn't help but get excited.

Zhou Qing was completely relieved and began to notify the actors to join the crew according to the original shooting plan.

"When will your "The Lotus Lantern" be broadcast?"

On the bus, everyone was chatting about random things, and Zhou Qing casually asked Shu Chang.

This is a childhood memory.

Zhou Qing remembered clearly how much interest he had enjoyed watching it at that time.

Especially the Erlang Shen portrayed by Jiao Enjun, who is definitely one of the most classic Erlang Shens.

Not only is he very handsome, but the key is that the character arc is fully developed, and the acting, fighting scenes and other aspects all make the protagonist a mess.

It would be more appropriate to call it "The Legend of Erlang Shen" rather than "The Lotus Lantern".

"Maybe in October. Director Zhou, remember to go and see it then."

When talking about this drama, Shu Chang's face is full of anticipation.

In any case, it is a CCTV drama and can be said to be a top-level TV drama resource.

Shu Chang still has very high expectations for this TV series.

"Of course, of course. I've been waiting for it to be broadcast."

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded.

It's not that he was just being perfunctory. If he had time at that time, he really planned to "revisit" it.

"The Lotus Lantern? Who do you play in it?"

Brother Hu who was standing behind him leaned over and asked Shu Chang with great interest.

When the main creators gathered together before, everyone introduced themselves.

Plus, we were all young people, so we quickly became familiar with each other.

In particular, Hu Ge and Shu Chang have a common bond: Liu Yifei.

"A cute and kind vixen."

Shu Chang thought about it and briefly summarized his role.

"Vixen?"

Brother Hu smiled. He was already a senior but still had a middle school temperament. "Why don't you beg for mercy in front of me, Li Xiaoyao? Otherwise, I will take you in."

Shu Chang couldn't help but roll his eyes. How childish this guy is.

But despite all the complaints, Shu Chang is also very envious in his heart, because Brother Hu's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is really popular.

I hope that my "The Lotus Lantern" can be as popular as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

On April 4, the top film project "The Hearing Girl", which attracted great attention from the entire industry, held a grand launch conference.

Given Zhou Qing's current status in the industry, all media outlets naturally take him very seriously.

Looking around the scene, there were cameras and video cameras everywhere.

The main creators were surrounded by cameras and guns.

Director Zhou Qing, leading actors Hu Ge and Shu Chang, as well as important supporting actors Feng Yuanzheng, Jiang Wenli, Huang Bo and his own class teacher Wang Jinsong, all accepted corresponding interviews.

Needless to say, the main focus of the interview is still Zhou Qing.

Who says he is the most famous among so many people here?

"Director Zhou, The Hearing Girl focuses on the deaf-mute community. What kind of ideas are you trying to convey through this film?"

"There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers. I hope everyone can go to the cinema to experience some of the emotional thoughts in the movie for themselves."

"Director Zhou's first three films were all registered for the Berlin or Venice Film Festival. Will this "Hearing Girl" also be registered?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, The Hearing Girl will also sign up for the three major ones."

"Your teacher Wang Jinsong also played an important supporting role in this movie. How did you come up with the idea of ​​inviting your teacher to participate?"

"Teacher Wang is a very good actor. He is more than capable of handling such a role. Although he is my teacher, I still considered it from the perspective of the role."
