Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"Teacher Feng, my new movie tells the story between a teacher and a student."

"They fought against each other, but in the end they also made each other successful, although the process was a little cruel."

"This time I asked you, Mr. Feng, to play the role of the teacher."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides started talking about business. Zhou Qing introduced the relevant situation to Feng Yuanzheng.

Feng Yuanzheng on the opposite side became more and more excited.

From what Director Zhou said, it seems like his role is very important.

Maybe even the protagonist!

Even if he is not the protagonist, he must be a heavyweight supporting role.

It is obvious to the naked eye that this supporting character is much more important than the father in "The Hearing Girl".

Feng Yuanzheng said he was a little flattered to be able to play such an important role in Director Zhou's film.

“It sounds like a very fascinating story.”

Feng Yuanzheng's interest was completely aroused.

"But Director Zhou, this movie shouldn't be a commercial film, right?"

Feng Yuanzheng then made a basic judgment.

"Yes, this movie is going to win awards."

There was naturally nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so Zhou Qing admitted it immediately.

Award-winning film!
Feng Yuanzheng became more and more restless.

Other people's award-winning films usually compete for the Golden Rooster, Golden Horse and other awards.

But Director Zhou's award-winning film will undoubtedly hit the top three in Europe.

Thinking about Director Zhou's record in the Big Three, Feng Yuanzheng could hear his heart starting to pound.

"Director Zhou, I'll play the role! I'll play this role!"

Feng Yuanzheng immediately said to Zhou Qing in a serious tone.

"With the participation of Mr. Feng, I have more confidence in this film."

Zhou Qing showed a very satisfied smile on his face.

The same was true for Feng Yuanzheng on the opposite side.

However, when Zhou Qing later took out the script and Feng Yuanzheng couldn't wait to begin reading the masterpiece, the expression on his face began to become quite interesting.

Why does this music teacher look like a pervert?
So, this is the reason why this role can only be played by myself?

"Now I understand why Director Zhou chose me to play this role."

Feng Yuanzheng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It turns out that he has recognized that he is a pervert.

"Teacher Feng, I asked you to come here because you have excellent acting skills, especially when it comes to playing perverts. You are even better at that."

Seeing the confusion on Feng Yuanzheng's face, Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"After I finish playing this role, I'm afraid a lot of people will scold me again."

Feng Yuanzheng couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face, and couldn't help but recall the time when he played the role of An Jiahe.

"Doesn't this just prove that Mr. Feng's performance has won the hearts of the people?"

Zhou Qing took a sip of the tea in the cup and chuckled at Feng Yuanzheng.

"So I love and fear this kind of role."

"Then Mr. Feng, are you going to play this role or not?"

"Act, of course!"

Feng Yuanzheng answered without thinking and in a decisive manner.

Although becoming a pervert may lead to being scolded, it may also make the label of a pervert deeper.

Maybe I can play such an important role in Director Zhou’s movie, so what else do I need a bicycle for?

What's more, even if you put all these aside, the script is still very exciting and classic.

Feng Yuanzheng was completely moved.

If you miss a movie like this, you will regret it for the rest of your life!

So there was no doubt about the final result, Feng Yuanzheng took on the role of the perverted music teacher.

"Director Zhou, it's a pleasure working with you!"

"Teacher Wang, it's a pleasure to work with you!"

Wang Zhiwen also had no problem and happily took on the supporting role of the male lead's father.

"Director Zhou, can I ask who plays the drummer and the music teacher?"

After the two sides reached an agreement, Wang Zhiwen asked this question out of curiosity.

"The music teacher is Mr. Feng Yuanzheng."

Zhou Qing told Wang Zhiwen the answer truthfully.

Wang Zhiwen was also very happy: "Yuan Zheng is going to play a pervert again? It's over. I'm afraid he won't be able to play other roles in the future."

Feng Yuanzheng has been criticized for many years because of An Jiahe, and last year's "Love Is Not Blind" was also criticized heavily.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, there is another pervert.

Well, from now on, when people mention Feng Yuanzheng, they will probably subconsciously think of him as a pervert.

But from another perspective, being able to create such a deep stereotype on the public is also the greatest affirmation of an actor!
It's a kind of happy trouble.

"As for the drummer, I will play the role."

Zhou Qing waited until Wang Zhiwen finished laughing before continuing to speak to him.

Wang Zhiwen’s first reaction was surprise and surprise. He never expected that the male lead would be played by director Zhou Qing himself.

But on second thought, well, who in the entire circle doesn’t know that Director Zhou is actually from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy?

It’s just that Director Zhou is too tough a director, so everyone subconsciously ignores this point.

Taking this situation into consideration, although Wang Zhiwen inevitably has some doubts about Zhou Qing's acting skills, he is also very much looking forward to it.

I wonder how well Zhou Qing performed as an actor?

You have to know that some of the top directors in the mainland actually have very good acting skills.

Take Master Zhang for example. His acting skills in "Old Well" and "The Battle of Qin Terracotta Warriors" were superb.

Especially the movie "Old Well", which won Master Zhang three Best Actor awards.

This also includes the Best Actor Award at the Tokyo Film Festival.

That is a formal international A-level film festival.

Master Zhang is also the first actor in China to win the Best Actor Award at an international A-class film festival!
As for Feng Xiaogang, he mostly made cameo appearances and his acting skills were actually pretty good.

The most well-known one is the leader of the Crocodile Gang in "Kung Fu". Who dares to say that his performance was not good?
Therefore, Wang Zhiwen was indeed looking forward to Zhou Qing's acting, even though he graduated from a serious acting department.

"This is Director Zhou's first big screen debut, right? Just for this, the box office won't have to earn a few hundred million more, right?"

Wang Zhiwen praised Zhou Qing.

"I just hope that I won't let you down and hold you back, Teacher Wang."

Zhou Qing smiled and waved his hand.

"Director Zhou, you're joking. Directors are better at acting than us actors!"

Wang Zhiwen continued to be polite to Zhou Qing.

"Brother Hua, I wish "Resurrection of the Dragon" a big box office success!"

"Thank you very much!"

On March 3, the launch conference of "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon" was officially held, and Zhou Qing attended as scheduled.

This is a genuine co-production, directed by Hong Kong director Li Rengang, and almost all the main actors are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

There are mainland actors too, but they are all small supporting roles and cameos.

Zhou Qing was not familiar with director Li Rengang, so they just exchanged polite greetings and that was it. However, he had a pleasant chat with Liu Dehua.

"Now You See Me has also become the box office champion in North America, so I want to congratulate you."

Liu Dehua said politely, and at the same time congratulated Zhou Qing. "It's just the box office champion of Chinese-language films, and it's still temporary. This championship is too exaggerated."

Zhou Qing waved his hand in front of Liu Dehua nonchalantly.

Even saying this is a bit inaccurate, after all, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" reached 1.3 million yuan.

It’s just that Li An has always been in Hollywood, so the Chinese-language films he made were naturally excluded by everyone.

"My Director Zhou, you have shocked so many people, and you are still not satisfied."

Liu Dehua deliberately exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "Chinese-language films have been around for so many years, and yours is the only one with such a high box office."

"So, I should be proud of myself?"

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows.

"Of course!"

Liu Dehua started laughing.

"But Director Zhou, I think our relationship is pretty good, but why haven't you contacted me since "Departures"?"

"I've been waiting for your call on my phone, but it never came."

After the two sides exchanged greetings for a while, Liu Dehua spoke to Zhou Qing in a joking tone.

It fully expressed Andy Lau's desire to cooperate with Zhou Qing.

I won’t pretend anymore. Hua Zai, I won’t pretend anymore.

After all, these days, including domestic entertainment as well as Hong Kong entertainment, who among the actors in the entire Chinese entertainment industry doesn’t want to act in Director Zhou’s movie?
The same goes for some actors who had complaints against Director Zhou because of the movie "Ip Man".

"Look at what you said, Brother Hua. If there is a suitable role, I will definitely look for you."

Zhou Qing laughed at Liu Dehua. Who could say for sure about such things?
Among Hong Kong actors, Andy Lau is considered to be very good.

Although Zhou Qing has always been reluctant to use Hong Kong actors, there is no problem with Andy Lau.

"You said this, I'll remember it!"

Liu Dehua immediately took action to stop the snake.

"Hello Director Zhou, I'm Li Meiqi."

After chatting with Andy for a while, the heroine Li Meiqi also ran over politely to greet Zhou Qing.

This person actually left a very deep impression on Zhou Qing.

They are not the photos that leaked from the computer, but the two Hollywood blockbusters starring this actor.

Mission: Impossible 3 and Die Hard 4.

Even in Hollywood, this is a top-notch production. To be honest, Maggie Q's resources are really very good.

“I hope I’ll have the opportunity to star in Director Zhou’s movies in the future.”

After some greetings, Li Meiqi also expressed her good wishes to Zhou Qing.

"Let's see if there's any chance."

Zhou Qing was just being polite and didn't want to chat too much with Li Meiqi.

After all, this person is too much in the spotlight at this time.

"Director Zhou!"

After walking around in the crowd, Han Sanping waved to Zhou Qing from afar.

San Ye also came to the press conference in person, which shows how much he values ​​this movie.

It’s just a pity. Zhou Qing remembers it clearly and the movie failed.

It was a pretty heavy blow.

The film invested 1.6 million RMB but the box office revenue was only 7000 million.

Not even half the cost.

It’s almost the same situation as the original “The Warring States”.

So Andy at that time was really quite poisonous.

"Director Zhou surprised a lot of people again this time."

Yu Dong, who was standing next to Han Sanping, also smiled warmly when he saw Zhou Qing.

Like China Film, Bona Film Group is also the producer and distributor of "Resurrection of the Dragon".

"It's just a movie, it doesn't mean anything. Mr. Yu, please stop praising me, or I'll really be on top of myself."

Zhou Qing still looks very calm, with a stable mentality.

“A record-breaking movie is also a record-breaking movie!”

Han Sanping said heavily on the side.

Who is happiest about "Now You See Me" breaking the North American box office record?

Apart from Zhou Qing, the next person to come is naturally Han Sanping, the chairman of China Film Group.

This is another achievement for him and will add a highlight to the report.

"Who knows, one day my record may be broken by someone else."

Zhou Qing still acted calm and composed.

"That day will come, but it won't be that soon."

Han Sanping said with certainty.

It is extremely difficult for Chinese-language films to achieve success in North America.

After so many years, there are only a few movies that have broken 2000 million, let alone 5000 million.

Therefore, Zhou Qing's record will be very solid.

"Boss Han is right. It's not that easy to break Director Zhou's record. Even if it is broken by someone else, Director Zhou can easily catch up."

Yu Dong immediately followed Han Sanping's words and continued to hold Zhou Qing.

"Painted Skin" and "Now You See Me" have made Yu Dong envious.

He has been trying his best to catch Zhou Qing's express train.

But I never got there.

Seeing Zhou Qing at this moment, it was natural for him to try to please him.

All in all, the atmosphere on the scene was quite harmonious and warm.

As they chatted, everyone went to the theater and sat down. Zhou Qing's seat was very close to the front, next to Han Sanping.

"What do you think of this movie? Director Zhou, please give me some advice."

Li Rengang, Liu Dehua and other main creators were performing the opening segment when Han Sanping whispered to Zhou Qing with a bit of boasting.

He is still very optimistic about this project.

Zhou Qing smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Corrections?

Correct me!
This is just a terrible movie, and it only has a pitiful 5.6 points on Douban.

Facts proved that Zhou Qing was right. Not long after the movie started, Zhou Qing felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Hong Kong people are really bad at filming history, it seems so petty.

Wow!
But of course you can't slap someone in the face at this time. After the movie, Zhou Qing also gave very warm applause.

"Director Li, what are your expectations for the box office of "Resurrection of the Dragon"? Do you think it can break the record of "Now You See Me"?"

During the interview session, this old topic at the premiere was brought up again.

As a benchmark for Chinese entertainment films, "Now You See Me" was unsurprisingly brought out for comparison.

"'Resurrection of the Dragon' is based on the classic Three Kingdoms theme, and with the wonderful performances of Andy Lau and Sammo Hung, I believe the box office will be good and will definitely surpass 'Now You See Me'!"

I don’t know if he is really confident, but Li Rengang sounds very arrogant.

"Director Zhou, do you think the box office of "Resurrection of the Dragon" can surpass your "Now You See Me"?"

A microphone was then placed in front of Zhou Qing's face, attracting all the attention at the scene.

Although I knew that "Resurrection of the Dragon" was not worth mentioning, I definitely cannot say that now.

Zhou Qing just smiled and said, "Let's wait and see." (End of this chapter)
