Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 140: The Ambition of Winning the Golden Lion, the Treatment of the Great Director is Different

"The list of nominees for the main competition unit of the 62nd Venice Film Festival has been announced, and Director Zhou Qing's fourth film "Hearing Girl" has been shortlisted again."

"Director Zhou's "Hearing Girl" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival. Can it win the Golden Lion Award that "La La Land" failed to win?"

"Following La La Land, Zhou Qing's The Hearing Girl was once again shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival and became a hot favorite for an award."

Related reports quickly leaked out, attracting great attention in the circle.

No one was surprised that Zhou Qing's "Hearing Girl" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival.

After all, up to now, every movie Zhou Qing has made has won major awards at the three major festivals and has never failed.

Considering the opponent's powerful strength, how could the fourth part fail?

Everyone started talking about it, and they all believed that "The Hearing Girl" would win the grand prize in Venice.

It is no surprise that "The Hearing Girl" became the favorite to win the award.

Although the director of another Chinese-language film "The Song of Everlasting Regret", Guan Jinpeng, is also very good, and he even won the Silver Bear in Berlin in 98.

However, Guan Jinpeng only received the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear.

Apart from this, there is no other record of the Big Three.

In front of Zhou Qing, it's not even worth mentioning.

"Sure enough, 'Hearing Girl' was shortlisted again. I knew Director Zhou could do it!"

Feng Yuanzheng was very excited, with a gleam in his eyes.

Although I am not the lead actor in this movie, I am still an important supporting role.

The key is that the characters are well-developed and their arcs are fully developed.

If there is an award for Best Supporting Actor in Venice, Feng Yuanzheng believes that he has a great chance of winning it.

After all, Feng Yuanzheng's acting skills are already superb, and this time after Zhou Qing's training, Feng Yuanzheng's performance becomes even more natural.

Feng Yuanzheng believed that it was the best acting performance in his career.

It's just a pity that the Venice Film Festival doesn't have awards like Best Supporting Actor or Best Supporting Actress.

Otherwise, he, Huang Bo and Jiang Wenli will all be strong competitors.

Of course, even so, the fact that a movie in which he played an important supporting role won a big award in Venice is a significant bonus for Feng Yuanzheng.

If "The Hearing Girl" finally wins a Golden Lion, that would be even more amazing.

Therefore, Feng Yuanzheng is full of endless expectations for the trip of "Hearing Girl" to Venice.

"Brother Hu, 'Hearing Girl' has been shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, congratulations!"

Sugar man, Cai Yinong, who got the news, looked even happier and more excited than Brother Hu.

The first movie in which an artist under Tangren played the leading role was shortlisted for one of the top three in Europe, which is good news for Tangren as a whole.

You know, Tangren has always wanted to enter the film industry, but there has been no progress.

I never thought that I would take such a huge step forward and directly make it into the top three in Europe.

I have to say that Director Zhou is really amazing. As soon as he made his move, he was shortlisted for the top three in Europe.

Based on the other party's impressive resume, the possibility of "Hearing Girl" taking home another big prize in Venice is very, very high.

When she thought of this, Cai Yinong became more and more excited.

"Thank you, Sister K. It's all Director Zhou's talent. I just took advantage of him."

Brother Hu still has that ratio.

He also understood that even if "The Hearing Girl" was shortlisted for Venice, the award would have nothing to do with him.

First of all, the characterization of the male protagonist in this movie is really not outstanding, he is just a complete tool.

Secondly, Brother Hu’s acting skills are really far worse than other actors.

There is not even the slightest possibility of him becoming the best actor or something like that. It’s just a joke to even think about it.

But even so, starring in a movie that won an award in Venice is also a very impressive resume.

Brother Hu was just as excited.

Everyone in the entire Sugar Man and even the entire Shanghai Theatre Academy is envious of Brother Hu.

Brother Hu has been ready to go to Venice to make his presence felt.

"Aoko, when are we going to Venice?"

Not only Brother Hu, Huang Bo is also eager to go to Venice to show his presence. Why not?
What’s more, what if “The Hearing Girl” won the Golden Lion?
After all, Qingzi's strength is obvious to all!
"Why rush? Isn't there still a few days left?"

Zhou Qing is much calmer than Huang Bo.

Anyway, with his current level, he doesn't need to go through the trouble of promoting and selling the film, he can just do it on time.

What's more, Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony is held on the 25th, and Zhou Qing has to attend.

"I have to arrange my schedule in advance. I am a celebrity now."

Huang Bo showed off in front of Zhou Qing.

"It opens on the 31st, so we can just go the day before."

Zhou Qing waved his hand at Huang Bo indifferently.

Huang Bo finally understood what was going on and stopped asking further questions.

But he remembered another thing and became sly: "You must have received an invitation to Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony, right?"

How did Huang Bo know about Liu Yifei’s coming-of-age ceremony?

It’s nothing, Liu Yifei’s coming-of-age ceremony was just too grand.

It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to call it a “coming of age ceremony press conference”.

The media had already started hyping the event in advance, and the entire entertainment industry knew that Xiaolongnu was going to celebrate her eighteenth birthday.

In addition, many big stars in the circle, such as filmmakers, producers, media people, etc., all the well-known people received the invitation.

Even the venue for the coming-of-age ceremony was in a place like the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and the entire planning cost two million RMB.

To be frank, Liu Yifei's birthday can be regarded as a major event in the entertainment industry.

How could Huang Bo not know?
Anyone with eyes knows that this coming-of-age ceremony is not just a simple coming-of-age ceremony, but is paving the way for Liu Yifei.

So how could Zhou Qing, a big director in the industry, not receive an invitation?

Not to mention that Zhou Qing is Liu Yifei's classmate, which makes him an even greater target.

"Yes, I received it. It was written by Liu Yifei."

Zhou Qing acted cool in front of Huang Bo.

"The treatment of big directors is just different."

Huang Bo's voice sounded a little sour.

As Liu Yifei's schoolmate and an artist under Zhou Qing, Liu Xiaoli naturally would not miss Huang Bo.

Even Wang Baoqiang was not missed.

However, the invitations Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang received were of the same type, which were naturally incomparable to Liu Yifei's handwritten ones.

"As long as you know."

Zhou Qing continued to show off.

On August 8, the Little Dragon Girl’s Coming of Age Ceremony, which attracted great attention from the entire entertainment industry, was grandly “opened”.

Zhou Qing brought Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang to the scene.

"Oh my goodness, there's a red carpet."

Wang Baoqiang was stunned.

It was the first time for him to see a birthday party that required walking on the red carpet.

"If you don't know, you might think this is some kind of premiere."

Huang Bo was also astonished.

Looking around, there are countless celebrities coming and going.

Not only are there various celebrities, but also famous producers like Zhang Jizhong and film and television company bosses like Huayi's Wang Zhongjun.

To put it bluntly, many movie premieres cannot compare to Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony.

Zhou Qing's reaction was much better. After all, as a reborn person, he had the advantage of foresight.

He walked into the banquet hall very calmly.

But in the extremely spacious hall, one celebrity after another was walking back and forth in groups of three or five, it was so lively.

"Director Zhou!"

"Director Zhou!" After Zhou Qing appeared, he instantly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone came over to greet him enthusiastically.

He was immediately surrounded and surrounded.

Is it true that the mainland's top directors are so high-ranking?

Zhou Qing took a lot of effort to get out.

"Congratulations to Director Zhou. The movie Crazy Stone, which he directed, was a big hit at the box office, and The Hearing Girl was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival."

"I hope Director Zhou will come back with a Golden Lion."

Wang Zhongjun also came over and greeted Zhou Qing enthusiastically, with a burning look in his eyes.

There's nothing I can do. I'm really jealous.

Each of the three films Zhou Qing has made so far has been a huge success.

Although the cost has not been announced, Wang Zhongjun makes a living from this and can estimate it.

Therefore, Wang Zhongjun was well aware of the profits behind Zhou Qing’s three films.

It is precisely because of this that he can't stop feeling envious, jealous and hateful.

Director Zhou’s movies are really good at making money.

Not to mention that it can also show off its status in the top three European countries.

Huayi really wanted to get on the bus, and had always wanted to.

In addition, Wang Jinghua's departure a while ago dealt a heavy blow to Huayi, so Huayi is even more urgently in need of relying on a big director like Zhou Qing.

It can not only stabilize the morale of the troops, but also quickly achieve results and get out of the shadows.

It was no surprise for Wang Zhongjun to see Zhou Qing so enthusiastic again at this moment.

"Thank you Mr. Wang for your compliment."

Zhou Qing exchanged greetings politely with Wang Zhongjun.

"Director Zhou has finished filming 'Hearing Girl'. When will the next movie be filmed? Huayi can invest. We have always been looking forward to working with Director Zhou."

Wang Zhongjun finally spoke to Zhou Qing seriously.

Zhou Qing filmed four movies in a row, but Huayi never drove up there once, which Wang Zhongjun still feels aggrieved about.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wang. Let's see if there is a suitable opportunity."

Zhou Qing just brushed it off with a smile.

"Director Zhou."

Just as they had agreed, Wang Jinghua came over as soon as Wang Zhongjun left.

He was also extremely polite and enthusiastic towards Zhou Qing.

Although Wang Jinghua has a large number of artists under her, resources have become a shortcoming after leaving Huayi.

After all, the new owner, Chengtian Entertainment, is still inferior to Huayi.

She needs to make friends with a great director like Zhou Qing more than Huayi does.

In response, Zhou Qing still greeted him with a smile. In short, he did not neglect the superficial efforts.

"Zhou Qing!"

"Brother Xiao Ming!"

Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei had co-starred in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", so they were naturally among the invited guests.

The two of them became familiar with each other and started chatting and laughing amid the envious gazes of the crowd.

“When will The Banquet be filmed?”

The two sides talked about this topic very naturally.

As the first costume drama by mainland director Feng Xiaogang, it has attracted much attention in the industry, and Zhou Qing is naturally aware of this.

"It should be in September. I'm studying the script now."

Although Huang Xiaoming tried his best to conceal it, he couldn't hide the pride between his brows.

This is Feng Xiaogang’s blockbuster!

It is definitely one of the top-notch movie resources.

To be able to get an important role in a movie like this really speaks volumes.

You should know that Huang Xiaoming has not joined Huayi yet.

It can only be said that Huayi really spared no effort in recruiting Huang Xiaoming.

"Director Feng's movie won't be bad. Congratulations, Brother Xiao Ming."

Although he knew that "Night Banquet" ultimately failed, Zhou Qing still sent his blessings to Huang Xiaoming.

"It's all thanks to Director Feng's appreciation. When will you get a suitable role? I've been waiting for you."

Huang Xiaoming was modest for a moment, and then spoke to Zhou Qing in a joking tone.

"There will be a chance."

Zhou Qing just laughed.

The leader is very popular in the circle and his character is beyond reproach. He has been in the industry for some time and his acting skills are pretty good.

After all, without certain real skills, it is impossible to fight on equal terms with everyone.

If there is a suitable role, it is not a bad idea to find the leader.

"I'm serious if you say that."

Huang Xiaoming immediately laughed and said, trying to take advantage of the situation.

"Director Zhou, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

Lin Zhiying, who has worked with Liu Yifei in "Tian Long", is not willing to lag behind.

Even though he is in the TV drama industry, which actor doesn't want to act in a movie these days?

Little Tornado is no exception. He also starred in "Love Winner" with Liu Yifei last year.

When facing the top directors in mainland China, we naturally dare not neglect them.

"You're welcome."

Zhou Qing also exchanged pleasantries with the other party.

"Why do I feel like you're the protagonist of Sissi's coming-of-age ceremony?"

That guy Zhu Yawen couldn't help but complain.

That’s right. As soon as Zhou Qing appeared, everyone gathered around him and he became the center of attention at the banquet.

"Zhou Qing is here."

Liu Xiaoli, who was entertaining the guests, saw Zhou Qing with a bright smile on her face.

"Auntie, you look so beautiful today. If you don't know me, you might think you are Sissi's sister."

Zhou Qing said this in a serious tone.

"You kid, you have such a sweet mouth."

The smile on Liu Xiaoli's face became even brighter.

However, because there were so many guests, Liu Xiaoli was unable to chat with Zhou Qing for long. She just said hello and continued to greet other people.

Zhou Qing and Zhu Yawen found a corner and started chatting.

But people kept coming to say hello from beginning to end, which made Zhu Yawen so envious and jealous.

When will he be able to reach Qingzi's level?

Even half would be fine.

"Sissi is out."

"so beautiful!"

Before they knew it, the time had come and Liu Yifei, dressed in her best attire, appeared on stage accompanied by Liu Xiaoli.

It immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience.

Eighteen years old, the best years of life.

Liu Yifei has an outstanding foundation, and with her careful dressing, she really looks like a princess.

Liu Yifei's eyes wandered unconsciously among the crowd, and when she saw Zhou Qing, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
