Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Movie title: Lost on Journey.

Filing unit: Zhou Qing Studio.

Screenwriter: Zhou Qing.

Filing result: Agree to shoot.

Place of filing: Beijing.

In early June, the filing information of "Lost on Journey" was dug out by the omnipotent media.

For a while, the entertainment industry, which had been relatively calm, was once again thrown into a huge rock, causing waves.

Everyone was caught off guard by the news and they were all a little overwhelmed to react.

Didn’t Director Zhou’s “Painted Skin” just wrap up? Why is he now preparing to start a new film?
This speed is a bit too fast!

"No, Director Zhou, what speed is this?"

Fan Bingbing was a little dumbfounded. If he hadn't gone to check it out personally, he would have found it hard to believe.

However, after confirming the news, Fan Bingbing became excited.

I have finally waited for Director Zhou to release a new film.

This time, I can't miss it no matter what.

Without any hesitation, Fan Bingbing took out his phone and called Zhou Qing.

"Xixi, did you know that Zhou Qing is going to shoot a new movie?"

Liu Xiaoli was also a little confused and turned to Liu Yifei to ask about the situation.

But Liu Yifei just shook her head in confusion. She had never heard of such news before.

But soon Liu Yifei also became excited.

I wonder if I can act in Zhou Qing’s new film?
Liu Yifei also started contacting Zhou Qing.

Stars like Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, etc. all had similar reactions.

The phone at Zhou Qing's studio was about to explode with calls.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to ask the studio to release a statement:

The screenwriter of "Lost on Journey" is Zhou Qing, but the director is not Zhou Qing, but Ning Hao, the director of "Crazy Stone".

"Lost on Journey," produced by Zhou Qing Studio and written by Zhou Qing, has been approved. The film will be directed by Ning Hao, the director of Crazy Stone."

"After Crazy Stone, Director Zhou Qing once again collaborated with Director Ning Hao on a new film. It is reported that Lost on Journey is not only produced by Zhou Qing's studio, but also written by Director Zhou."

"The new film Lost on Journey, produced and written by director Zhou Qing, has been approved for filing and will be directed by emerging director Ning Hao."

Related reports soon leaked out, once again attracting great attention from the industry.

Although "Lost on Journey" was not directed by Director Zhou Qing, it was written by Director Zhou Qing.

Director Zhou Qing's screenwriting skills are obvious to all in the industry.

After all, Director Zhou Qing is different from those other great directors.

The screenplays for the films directed by other big directors are all written by other people, but Director Zhou Qing writes the screenplays for all his films himself.

Every department is of very high standard.

So people in the circle had a preliminary impression of "Lost on Journey": this must be a good story!

In addition, the director is the director of "Crazy Stone", so everyone is even more looking forward to "Lost on Journey".

This is sure to be another fantastic film.

The actors were very excited. Although they couldn't film a movie directed by Director Zhou, it would be nice to be able to film a movie written by Director Zhou.

The circle became lively again.

Zhou Qing still suffered the same amount of "harassment".

Why?

Zhou Qing is the producer, so he can directly insert people into Ning Hao's movie.

Many actors want to get roles from Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing always responded the same way to this. He did not interfere with Ning Hao's creative freedom, and Ning Hao had the final say on casting.

Although Zhou Qing is the producer, he will not interfere in any way.

“Are there any good roles in Lost on Journey?”

Even Liu Yifei came to inquire about the situation.

The golden combination of Zhou Qing + Ning Hao, Liu Yifei couldn't resist this huge temptation.

However, Liu Yifei didn't want to use Zhou Qing's back door, she just wanted to learn more about the movie.

If there is a suitable role, she can just go to Ning Hao for an audition.

It’s not that I want to do anything crooked.

"This is a movie with two male protagonists. There are only a handful of female characters in it, and their roles are very small."

"Besides, the investment is only four million. With your current status, there is no need for you to act."

Zhou Qing told Liu Yifei the truth and explained the situation exactly.

"So this is ah."

Liu Yifei understood what was going on and had absolutely no interest in "Lost on Journey".

Considering how popular Liu Yifei is now and she has even starred in "Painted Skin", how could she possibly star in such a low-budget movie again?

However, Liu Yifei was not interested, but the other students were all very interested.

"Zhou Qing, has the female lead for Lost on Journey been decided? Even a supporting role is fine."

Jiang Yiyan was more active and rushed to Zhou Qing as soon as the rehearsal was over.

"Yi Yan, let me tell you honestly, the female characters in this movie don't have many roles."

After all, they were classmates, so Zhou Qing told Jiang Yiyan some of the situations.

As for whether Jiang Yiyan believes it or not, that is Jiang Yiyan’s business.

Anyway, Zhou Qing had done his best as a classmate, and he immediately added, "But if you are really interested, you can contact Senior Brother Ning Hao directly."

"Then, can you give me Director Ning's contact information?"

Jiang Yiyan really didn't listen to Zhou Qing's words and continued to make this request to Zhou Qing.

There was nothing wrong with this kind of thing, and Zhou Qing immediately gave Jiang Yiyan Ning Hao's cell phone number.

Jiang Yiyan left in a hurry.

Judging from the look of it, he would probably contact Ning Hao immediately.

As for whether Ning Hao would use it or not, Zhou Qing was not sure.

However, considering Jiang Yiyan's style, Zhou Qing felt that if she really got the role from Ning Hao, he should remind Ning Hao to be careful.

If you don’t get it, then you are just overthinking it.

"Aoko."

Looking at Zhu Yawen's shining eyes, Zhou Qing knew what he wanted to say.

"Don't even think about it. There's no chance for you."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Zhou Qing directly told him the answer.

"You guy, I haven't told you what it is yet."

Zhu Yawen said unhappily.

"Isn't it for Lost on Journey?"

Zhou Qing curled his lips, looking as if he had seen through Zhu Yawen.

"alright, you win."

Although Zhu Yawen was defeated, he was of course still thinking about "Lost on Journey".

"Don't make it public. The two male leads for this movie have already been decided."

Zhou Qing quietly told Zhu Yawen the answer.

Zhu Yawen suddenly realized and couldn't help showing a look of regret and sigh.

what a shame.

It's a pity that such a movie was distributed before he even got a chance to smell it.

"What's that expression on your face? Neither of the two roles is suitable for you. Even if it hasn't been decided, it won't be your turn!" Zhou Qing said unhappily.

"Alright, alright, you've all rested enough, let's continue rehearsing!"

Deputy monitor Wang Jia's loud voice started to rise again, so Zhou Qing and Zhu Yawen stopped chatting.

Continue to rehearse the graduation drama.

On June 6, the movie "Glory and Fury" starring Huang Bo was released, and the box office on the first day was only a pitiful 12.

"I knew this movie wouldn't make a lot of money at the box office, but isn't it too much of an exaggeration to only make over 300,000?"

Huang Bo's face was filled with nothing but bitterness and a wry smile, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching and he couldn't stop.

Isn’t this a bit too miserable?
The box office on the first day was only this much, and the total box office was only about a few million.

Even based on common experience, the maximum is only four or five million.

This is not just jumping, it's jumping to grandma's house.

"This movie is not going to be a box office hit. You already knew that."

Zhou Qing smiled and comforted Huang Bo.

“That being said, this is too low, isn’t it?”

Huang Bo still couldn't let it go for a while.

Box office too low?

Zhou Qing was a little reluctant to expose Huang Bo.

This movie only had such box office success thanks to Huang Bo's performance. Without Huang Bo, the box office would have been really low.

I have the impression that the original box office of this movie was less than 100,000!
However, this movie has won many awards in the country. Although the box office is a bit low, it is not a loss.

"Director Zhou."

A quarter of the post-production of Painted Skin has been completed, and the rough cut of the film has also been released.

Zhou Qing went to review the results and communicated with the other party on some other related issues. Everything was under control.

After returning to the studio and working hard for another three days, the entire script of "Ip Man 1" was finally completed.

Zhou Qing immediately instructed Xiao Liu to register the copyright and file it.

Needless to say, the next two sequels to Lost on Journey are Lost in Thailand and Lost in Hong Kong.

Among them, "Lost in Thailand" was relatively easy to produce, just as Zhou Qing expected, and was completed in just ten days.

"Lost in Hong Kong" required more effort, and only half of it was created in ten days.

To complete everything, Zhou Qing estimated that it would take twenty days.

The casting for "Lost on Journey", which has attracted much attention in the circle, has ended. Ning Hao made a special trip to Zhou Qing's studio to explain the situation to Zhou Qing.

"This is the preliminary list of actors and actresses. Please take a look and give me some advice if you have any comments."

Zhou Qing is the exclusive producer no matter what, so Ning Hao must consult with Zhou Qing before actually deciding on the role.

Zhou Qing simply glanced at the list and found that the two male protagonists were indeed Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, so he was completely relieved.

There are only these two important actors in this movie, and the other characters are actually supporting roles.

There aren't any particularly heavyweight supporting roles.

Frankly speaking, it doesn’t matter. Given Ning Hao’s level, just let him play freely.

Zhou Qing was too lazy to ask.

"I have no opinion, you can decide for yourself, brother."

Zhou Qing smiled and said to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao was very satisfied that Qingzi still trusted him as always.

I have to say that this feeling is pretty good.

"But brother, I just signed an artist a while ago, an 18-year-old girl. Can you see if you can arrange a supporting role for her?"

Zhou Qing then made this request to Ning Hao.

There was naturally no problem with this kind of thing, and Ning Hao agreed without even thinking about it.

"That's easy. I'll arrange something for her, such as ticketing and security at the airport."

Ning Hao made this decision quickly.

This matter was agreed upon very happily.

"Is everything ready now? When do you plan to start filming, brother?"

Zhou Qing asked about this matter again.

"It's almost time. I plan to start filming in July. You have to come and support me then."

Ning Hao greeted Zhou Qing again.

He knew very well that the success of "Crazy Stone" was largely due to Zhou Qing's golden signboard.

In the movie "Lost on Journey", Ning Hao still plans to use Zhou Qing as a banner.

"It's natural."

Zhou Qing also agreed without any hesitation.

This is his own exclusive movie, so Zhou Qing will do his best without Ning Hao saying much.

"Director Zhou, I'm back!"

Wang Baoqiang, who had been filming on the set of "Soldier Assault" for three months, is back, and his entire temperament has changed drastically.

Although he is still a bit honest, he also has a sharp edge.

Wang Baoqiang used to be like a little child, but now, at least he looks a little more mature and stable.

Such a change is not surprising. You should know that before Wang Baoqiang joined the crew to shoot "Soldier Assault", he had received serious training in the army.

Coupled with the training on the set, the spirit is really different.

"Bao Qiang, it's very good."

Zhou Qing looked Wang Baoqiang up and down and nodded with approval.

"It's pretty good. It's much more masculine than before, more like a man."

Huang Bo also felt that Wang Baoqiang looked brand new at this moment, which was eye-catching.

"Brother Baoqiang, you look even more handsome than before."

Even Zhao Liying offered some flattery.

Hearing the praise from his boss and colleagues, Wang Baoqiang couldn't help but smile.

“Honestly speaking, filming Soldier Assault was really exhausting, but it was also very memorable.”

Wang Baoqiang expressed such emotion.

"I really envy you, kid. You just starred in a TV series and you're going to star in a movie right now. Qingzi really takes care of you."

After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Huang Bo made a joke to Wang Baoqiang with some envy.

He had communicated with Ning Hao and knew that "Lost on Journey" was written by Zhou Qing based on Wang Baoqiang.

Damn, how can I not be envious?

To be honest, I was the one who signed in first, but I didn’t get this treatment.

"What's there to be envious of? Didn't you just star in a movie, Brother Bo?"

Although Wang Baoqiang said this, even a blind person could see the smugness on his face.

Although this movie was not directed by Zhou Qing, nor was it the action movie that Wang Baoqiang wanted to make the most, this was the script written by Director Zhou.

It’s definitely not bad.

Then Wang Baoqiang saw the corner of Huang Bo's mouth twitching.

This kid must not have known about the box office of "Glory and Fury". He is really talking about something that is irrelevant.

"Don't be envious. You all have opportunities. It won't be long before you all become big stars."

Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Wasn’t Huang Bo added to the second part of the “囧” series?

Compared to the first one, the box office of that movie was truly explosive.

In addition, Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing" is also waiting for Huang Bo. Sooner or later, this guy will become really famous. (End of this chapter)
