Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"Zhou Qing, I have a question, why is the lizard spirit golden?"

Liu Yifei on the side looked Zhu Yawen up and down, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Qing and asked.

"It's more handsome."

Zhou Qing gave an impeccable answer.

People are visual animals. If you really make the monsters look disgusting, who would go to see it?

Naturally, the more eye-catching the better.

"Golden skin, silver hair, this lizard spirit is a little too 'shiny'."

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed again.

"Old Zhu, are you ready?"

During the filming, Zhou Qing didn't say much. He straightened his face and looked at Zhu Yawen.

"I've prepared it a long time ago. Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

Zhu Yawen immediately patted his chest and made a solemn promise to Zhou Qing.

"Then I'll see how you perform."

Zhou Qing just smiled.

"Every unit prepares!"

"start!"

Shooting starts immediately.

Zhou Xun was holding a mirror and "admiring himself" in front of the camera when the lizard spirit Zhu Yawen appeared happily.

But I saw that he was holding a lunch box in his hand, which was filled with slices of meat.

What kind of meat?
Of course it is the sliced ​​heart of a person.

I can only say that the big bootlicker is quite considerate. Not only did he dig out other people's hearts for Xiao Wei, he also sliced ​​them.

"Six people, all sliced ​​for you."

Zhu Yawen immediately showed a flattering smile, which was quite warm. He was truly a bootlicker.

"Why kill so many people? Can I eat them all?"

Xiao Wei was half lying in a lazy posture, bossing people around like a goddess.

"I let you pick, there are only a few people."

The big licking dog lizard spirit looked disapproving.

"I don't feel sorry for those people. It's you who caused Wang Sheng to run away every day, which made me have fewer opportunities to see him."

Xiao Wei complained about the big bootlicker proudly.

A trace of loss and frustration flashed across Zhu Yawen's face.

My goddess, can't you see me licking you like this? Is it Wang Sheng that you keep talking about?
But what can you say about being a bootlicker? It's just humble.

As a veteran bootlicker, the lizard spirit immediately forced himself to cheer up and give Xiao Wei advice.

"Then why don't you just kill his wife?"

"Crack!"

Zhou Qing behind the monitor stood up and walked straight to Zhu Yawen.

"Old Zhu, you actually performed very well, but you could have added a sense of grievance into it."

"It needs to be the kind of grievance that is deliberately suppressed but inadvertently revealed."

Zhou Qing felt that Zhu Yawen's performance could be improved, so he talked to him about the play.

"Okay, I'll try again."

Zhu Yawen thought about it for a while and then tried it again.

I have to say that the effect is indeed much better than before.

"Click! Pass!"

Zhou Qing then nodded with satisfaction.

Frankly speaking, Zhu Yawen's performance really exceeded Zhou Qing's expectations, and he didn't look bad at all.

But come to think of it, Zhu Yawen's "Crossing the Guandong" started filming in October if I remember correctly, and the other actor Zhu Chuanwu performed quite well.

At this stage, Zhu Yawen's acting skills are definitely among the best of his generation.

This is also a very talented actor.

Zhou Qing is still optimistic about Zhu Yawen's prospects.

On February 2, the blockbuster "Huo Yuanjia", which had been released for a month, was completely withdrawn from theaters, and the box office was also generally lower than industry expectations.

Only 1.03 billion.

And what about the investment in this movie?
As high as 7000 million RMB!

If we only look at the box office in mainland China, there is no doubt that it is unsatisfactory and has suffered huge losses.

However, if the leading actor is Li Lianjie, this calculation cannot be made.

Because the movies of Li Lianjie and Jackie Chan are sold all over the world, both of them have enormous influence overseas.

I have the impression that "Huo Yuanjia" actually sold very well overseas.

It ranked second in North America in its first week of release, with a total box office of 2463 million US dollars.

In addition, DVD rental and sales amounted to US$4200 million.

This means that the game sold 6600 million US dollars in North America alone.

DVD rentals and sales in other regions outside North America also totaled US$4200 million, and copyright sales also totaled US$2500 million.

All in all, this movie actually made a ton of money.

As an investor in this movie, Li Lianjie finally received a share of 3000 million US dollars!

Especially this "Huo Yuanjia" is also generally regarded as the last highlight of Chinese-language films in North America.

Li Lianjie was also nominated for the Best Action Actor Award at the People's Choice Awards for this movie.

"The box office of Huo Yuanjia is only 100 million? It's not even higher than your Hearing Girl!"

Liu Yifei was very excited and happy.

Who is Li Lianjie?

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the ceiling among actors, the most successful actor in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

He and Jackie Chan are in a class of their own, and are the kind of people that other actors can't even dream of matching.

But now, even a master of this level can't defeat Zhou Qing?
Liu Yifei really feels honored.

"You can't calculate it that way. Huo Yuanjia can still be sold overseas. Li Lianjie's overseas influence cannot be underestimated."

Zhou Qing said to Liu Yifei seriously.

"No matter what, he is no match for you in the mainland."

Liu Yifei didn't care about whether he was overseas or not. She just knew that Zhou Qing was very capable.

"Director Zhou, the preliminary round of Yahu Star Search is over. I have sorted out the information of the top ten contestants and sent it to your email."

I got news from Director Chen that the task I had assigned to him was finally coming to fruition.

"I see."

Zhou Qing responded casually, and went to his office during lunch time.

I quickly logged into my email and checked it, and my eyes lit up.

A familiar face came into his sight.

"Zhao Liying at this time was really green and immature."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh out loud.

And if you look closely, Zhao Liying, who is now in her youth, doesn’t have a chubby face at all, and she looks very lively.

Although she is not a standard beauty, she is indeed pleasing to the eyes and very comfortable to look at.

No wonder Feng Xiaogang's group won the championship.

"Director Chen, go contact Zhao Liying and make sure to sign her."

Zhou Qing didn't hesitate and immediately gave an order to Director Chen.

"Understood, Director Zhou."

Director Chen responded and left.

So can Director Chen sign Zhao Liying?
Zhou Qing is still very confident about this.

Since Zhao Liying participated in Yahoo Star Search during this period, it means that she had decided to enter the entertainment industry.

Considering Zhou Qing's current rank in the circle and his outstanding achievements, Zhao Liying would have to be crazy to refuse, right?
"Attention all units, clear the area!"

"start!"

Filming continued in the afternoon.

Pang Yong, played by Zhao Wenzhuo, left the Duwei Mansion and met the demon catcher Xia Bing in the inn.

The two were both casual people from the underworld, eating together at the same table. Following Zhou Qing's order, Dong Xuan began to eat heartily in front of the camera.

It’s just an ordinary hotpot made with some ordinary ingredients, but it tastes delicious and sizzling.

The cameraman next to him was drooling at the sight.

Zhou Qing behind the monitor couldn't help but nodded approvingly. This was the most basic level of professionalism.

Thinking about some actors who even pretend to eat, Zhou Qing really couldn't help himself.

An actor like that will never be able to join his crew in your life.

"Crack!"

But Zhou Qing still shouted "click".

"Senior Sister Dong Xuan, you can be more bold and unrestrained. You don't have to wolf down the food, but take bigger bites."

Zhou Qing put forward his own request to Dong Xuan.

"clear."

Dong Xuan nodded and ate it again according to Zhou Qing's request.

Clang!

Zhao Wenzhuo accidentally broke his wine bowl and shouted at the top of his voice, "Waiter, bring another bowl."

"No, that's all."

Dong Xuan directly handed over the half-drunk wine he had drunk, showing his boldness.

Zhao Wenzhuo couldn't help but be stunned, as if he had never seen such a carefree female man before.

But then he grinned knowingly, took the bowl from Dong Xuan, and gulped down two big gulps.

At this time, the assistant director quickly gestured to Liu Yifei who was at the door of the inn.

Liu Yifei knew it was her turn to make a debut, so she walked into the inn with a dignified pace.

What are you here for?
Naturally, she asked her old lover to catch the monster. She had already begun to suspect that Xiao Wei was the monster.

The scenes shot earlier were actually just preludes, explaining the background of the story and the relationships between the characters.

The next scenes are going to be exciting.

On March 3, the most important TV series in Liu Yifei's career, "The Return of the Condor Heroes", premiered on Qilu TV and was very popular.

In just a few days, the ratings reached 22.5, ranking first in the same period.

Even though it is only the ratings champion among local stations, it is still the ratings champion anyway.

What's more, this is just the beginning.

You should know that this version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has a very high broadcast rate.

It has been broadcast 9 times as of September alone, ranking first!

Although Zhou Qing had seen this version of The Return of the Condor Heroes in his previous life, this was still a TV series starring a girl.

So apart from filming, I also "revisited" the scene at night.

Originally Liu Yifei said that she wanted to watch it with Zhou Qing in the evening, but unfortunately there were too many people in the crew hotel.

The girl was afraid of being bumped into by others, which would lead to rumors flying everywhere, so she had no choice but to give up.

"How is my little dragon girl?"

However, when she arrived at the set the next day, Liu Yifei ran to Zhou Qing first and stared at him with blinking eyes.

The words "Praise me now" are just a few steps away from being written on his face.

"Very good, Xixi. The Little Dragon Girl you played is exactly the Little Dragon Girl in my mind."

Zhou Qing said this to Liu Yifei.

It’s not a deliberate compliment to Liu Yifei. The girl’s image and temperament are indeed very suitable for the role of Xiaolongnu.

Otherwise, given Liu Yifei's acting skills, why is her version of Little Dragon Girl so popular?

You know, even Mr. Jin praised Liu Yifei's Little Dragon Girl highly.

It is said that Liu Yifei makes people believe that the Little Dragon Girl he created is real.

"You can talk."

Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly narrowed into a line with joy.

"Xixi, you acted so well, you are just like Little Dragon Girl herself."

Zhu Yawen also praised Liu Yifei appropriately.

"Really? I think I still have a lot of shortcomings."

Although Liu Yifei spoke modestly, the pride on her face completely betrayed it.

Zhou Qing just watched with a smile on his face, without exposing Liu Yifei.

"Xixi, after this drama is over, you will become very famous."

Zhou Qing just made such an exclamation to Liu Yifei after he finished talking nonsense.

The TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes" indeed pushed Liu Yifei to the pinnacle, making her the most powerful female star in the entertainment industry.

"You really think so?"

Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly lit up.

If someone else said this, she might not believe it and would just take it as a compliment.

But the person who said this is a top director in mainland China.

How can a person like this who says such things be like ordinary people?
"of course."

Zhou Qing nodded as a matter of course.

The girl became more and more excited, and after a while she said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't become popular, don't we still have your Painted Skin?"

"Painted Skin" is Liu Yifei's greatest confidence.

Just like Shu Chang, his popularity skyrocketed after the broadcast of "The Lotus Lantern", but his real fame came from Zhou Qing's "The Hearing Girl".

"Hearing Girl" can make Shu Chang famous, not to mention the fully upgraded "Painted Skin".

When she thought of this, Liu Yifei's mood became even happier.

"Director Zhou, I'm going to join the crew to shoot "Soldier Assault"."

Wang Baoqiang told Zhou Qing the news.

Zhou Qing was still very excited about this, and Xu Sanduo was definitely a turning point in Wang Baoqiang's career.

Like Sha Gen in "A World Without Thieves", they are the most important characters to Wang Baoqiang.

According to Zhou Qing's plan, he would write the script for "Lost on Journey" immediately after finishing filming "Painted Skin".

Let Ning Hao take the photo as soon as possible.

"Lost on Journey" was already a minor hit, and now with its own golden signboard, the box office will only be better.

It is no problem to make another strong presence like "Crazy Stone".

Therefore, Wang Baoqiang's future is limitless.

One third of the progress of "Painted Skin" has been completed.

More and more people in the city had their hearts dug out, which attracted the attention of Wang Sheng and others.

Pang Yong, in particular, began to investigate the matter at Peirong's request.

"All the victims who had their hearts dug out are here. Brother Sheng can't do anything about it."

In front of the camera, a soldier playing an extra was introducing the situation to Zhao Wenzhuo.

In front of Zhao Wenzhuo, there were several coffins placed side by side.

"This murderer is very powerful. His move was so accurate that he dug out the heart in one go."

Zhao Wenzhuo examined the body and expressed great surprise.

“So I told Brother Sheng that I don’t believe it was done by a human.”

The soldier told Pang Yong seriously.

"Do you really believe in demons?"

Pang Yong sneered, thinking that the remarks were too absurd.

"I am a Yin-Yang master, of course I believe it."

The other party said without even thinking.

Zhao Wenzhuo became more and more indifferent and even played a trick on the other party.

This scene is actually not that complicated and not difficult to act.

With Zhao Wenzhuo's rich acting experience, there will be no problem in handling the role.

The extra was also a specially hired actor, so he had no problem acting in a short scene with Zhao Wenzhuo.

"Click! Pass!"

Zhou Qing nodded with satisfaction. (End of this chapter)
