Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"Director Zhou, I didn't expect you to act so well."

Feng Yuanzheng, who was acting opposite Zhou Qing, was the first to speak in admiration.

It is definitely not flattery or fawning, but a feeling from the heart.

God bless you, Director Zhou is really great, isn’t he?
As for the scene that I just performed with myself, it was so smooth and natural, there was really no fault to be found in any aspect.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Feng Yuanzheng has been in the industry for so long and has dealt with so many actors.

But there are really very few people who have acting skills as good as Zhou Qing.

That’s right, Director Zhou’s acting skills are so superb that they are among the best in the entire circle. Can you believe it?
"Yes, Director Zhou's acting skills are really eye-opening, but it also makes me feel very pressured."

Veteran actor Wang Zhiwen also spoke up.

There was also a hint of surprise and amazement on his face.

Although he had always wanted to see Zhou Qing's acting skills, to be honest, he never expected that Zhou Qing could perform to this level.

In Wang Zhiwen's opinion, he may not be worse than himself!
So Director Zhou is a little too evil, right?
As a top director, is he also so talented in acting?

It’s okay not to accept it.

It wasn't just Feng Yuanzheng and Wang Zhiwen. Every single one of the people at the scene were severely shown a bad face by Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing was actually quite satisfied with his performance just now, and he performed it very skillfully and effortlessly.

After all, Zhou Qing’s acting skills are now at the highest level.

The beginning scenes don't have much explosive power and there's not much room for performance. Zhou Qing can handle it perfectly with 50% to 60% of his skills.

But this is just the beginning. There are many scenes of confrontation between teachers and students in the later part of "Whiplash".

That was when Zhou Qing could truly show his strength.

Zhou Qing is still looking forward to this.

And to be honest, the feeling of acting seems to be quite good.

Zhou Qing found that short part very enjoyable.

"Okay, let's move on to the next one!"

The filming of "Whiplash" went very smoothly. After all, the main actors Zhou Qing and Feng Yuanzheng both gave very impressive acting skills.

It was a real pleasure for everyone to see the two of them acting together.

What is acting?

The rivalry between Zhou Qing and Feng Yuanzheng is called acting competition.

The acting skills of the two are already good, and they inspire and collide with each other, so the overall effect is definitely greater than one plus one.

Feng Yuanzheng definitely contributed the best acting skills in his acting career!

"It's a pity that there is no Best Supporting Actor at the three major European film festivals."

Many people secretly felt sorry for Feng Yuanzheng.

Because in everyone's opinion, Feng Yuanzheng's acting was so good that it was definitely a best-seller-level performance.

It's not an exaggeration.

If the Big Three really had a supporting actor award, Feng Yuanzheng would definitely be the strongest contender.

However, Feng Yuanzheng is sure to win supporting roles at domestic film festivals.

"I really envy Yuan Zheng. It would be great if Director Zhou asked me to play this role."

Wang Zhiwen even made such a joke about Feng Yuanzheng.

But this is also what he really thinks in his heart.

If he were to swap roles with Feng Yuanzheng and play the pervert played by Feng Yuanzheng, Wang Zhiwen would definitely be happy.

So what about Zhou Qing, the leading actor?

Good guy!
When it comes to this, many people can't help but think of a good guy.

Through the filming over the past few days, everyone discovered a very horrifying fact.

Zhou Qing and Feng Yuanzheng acted opposite each other and Zhou Qing was not at all at a disadvantage!

Zhou Qing was able to catch every outburst of Feng Yuanzheng perfectly without any let-down.

Although it is a bit hard to believe, it is true that director Zhou Qing's acting skills are not inferior to Feng Yuanzheng's.

Can you believe that this top mainland director, who enjoys a great reputation, has acting skills that are at the level of an award-winning actor?
This is a bit overwhelming.

"Director Cao Baoping's "Li Mi's Conjecture" has started filming. The film stars Huang Bo and Zhou Xun and is exclusively produced by director Zhou Qing."

"The film "Li Mi's Conjecture", produced exclusively by Director Zhou Qing, has started filming. The director of the film is Professor Cao Baoping of Beijing Film Academy."

"'Li Mi's Conjecture' started filming in Kunming. This is another film produced exclusively by director Zhou Qing."

Less than a week after the filming of "Whiplash" started, the filming of "Li Mi's Conjecture" also started.

However, Zhou Qing did not go to the stage because he was busy filming "Whiplash".

I have to say that the launch conference was a little quiet.

After all, Cao Baoping's current influence in the circle is really very limited.

Fortunately, Cao Baoping is not a fool and knows how to attract attention for his movies.

It was revealed at the press conference that this movie was produced exclusively by Zhou Qing.

It turns out that the effect is very good. As soon as the relevant reports came out, it immediately gained a strong presence.

A movie called "Li Mi's Conjecture" has been added to the attention list of many people.

After all, several films in a row, such as "Crazy Stone", "Lost on Journey" and "Crazy Racing", have proved that the films produced exclusively by Director Zhou are really not bad.

It is no exaggeration to say that Director Zhou’s products are definitely top-notch.

"Director Zhou!"

Someone from China Film Group contacted Zhou Qing and it turned out that the registration time for the Hundred Flowers Awards had arrived again.

As one of the producers, China Film Corporation naturally hopes to release "Now You See Me" to increase its presence.

It’s a pity that Zhou Qing refused without much hesitation.

"'Now You See Me' will not be participating in this year's Hundred Flowers Awards."

Zhou Qing said to China Film without thinking.

If there was still some interest in participating in the Hundred Flowers Awards in previous years, then in the past two years, Zhou Qing has become less and less interested in the awards.

Why?

The Hundred Flowers Awards have gradually begun to move closer to the Golden Rooster Awards.

Take this year for example. If I remember correctly, the major awards were won by two main theme blockbusters, "Assembly" and "The Legend of Mir".

In addition, there are top blockbusters such as "The Warlords", "CJ7", "Curse of the Golden Flower", and Jackie Chan's "The Baby Project", etc.

Every one of them is just a runner-up.

I didn't even get a small prize.

Isn't this fucked up?
The Golden Rooster Award is fine, it’s a judges award, but the Hundred Flowers Award is an audience award.

What about the audience vote?

Zhou Qing just didn't believe it. Those blockbusters couldn't beat "Assembly" and "The Legend of Mir 2", which were also blockbusters?
So even if he used his thighs to think, Zhou Qing could imagine what the situation would be like if he went to "Now You See Me".

If that's the case, then why bother looking for that discomfort?
"I am back!"

Liu Yifei dealt with the matters at Sony and returned to Beijing as soon as possible.

But he didn't join the group immediately.

After all, the girl doesn’t have that many scenes, and according to the schedule, it will take some time before we can film her appearing.

The current filming is mainly focused on the scenes set in the music conservatory.

It was basically a confrontation between Zhou Qing and Feng Yuanzheng.

Or maybe the word confrontation is not quite accurate. After all, in the early stages, the male protagonist had actually been "bullied" by the perverted music teacher.

Verbal insults were commonplace, and occasionally I would be slapped in the face. In short, it was quite frustrating.

Ever since the male protagonist joined the band of the perverted music teacher, hell mode has really started.

"Attention all units!"

"Clear the venue!"

"Begin!" After hearing Lu Yang's order, Zhou Qing, Feng Yuanzheng and other actors all got into the state in one second.

Good actors can usually get into a role very quickly.

Of course, the performance must be done quickly, otherwise problems may easily occur.

It is worth mentioning that for Zhou Qing, who has superb acting skills, that is not a problem at all.

He can clearly distinguish between reality and movies.

"Bar 127, the last four beats. Got it?"

Feng Yuanzheng stood in front of the band and shouted down at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing nodded immediately and began to swing the drumstick in his hand to the rhythm.

But it was soon stopped by Feng Yuanzheng.

"You're stealing the shot, you know that? Do it again."

Feng Yuanzheng gave the order in a tone that left no room for argument.

Anyone could sense that this person was already extremely angry and on the verge of losing control.

I can only say that good actors do have strong expressive abilities.

Zhou Qing’s acting skills were also very good, as if he had really transformed into Feng Yuanzheng’s student, and started playing the drums again.

"I delayed this shoot."

“This time, I took the photo again.”

“It’s a snap.”

This scene may seem simple, but it still requires very high acting skills from the actors.

Feng Yuanzheng doesn't actually have many lines, but he has to show his emotional breakdown bit by bit.

This requires eye contact and facial expressions to present.

What about Zhou Qing?
There is not a single line of dialogue in the performance, and the actor is just repeating a few drumming movements.

However, he still had to fully present his emotional changes under the "tyranny" of the perverted teacher.

It really takes a lot of experienced actors to pull it off.

But both Feng Yuanzheng and Zhou Qing did a great job.

If the occasion was not really inappropriate, everyone would have been unable to resist applauding and cheering for the two.

"do it again."

Zhou Qing adjusted his breathing and started beating the drum again.

However, during the fight, Feng Yuanzheng suddenly picked up a chair and smashed it towards Zhou Qing.

This teacher is really perverted!
It would be fine if he just cursed and beat people, but now he even started to use weapons!
"Crack!"

"Teacher Feng performed so well!"

Lu Yang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

After the previous emotional foreshadowing, this hit was not abrupt at all and was very impactful.

"Of course, Director Zhou is also very good!"

Lu Yang then added another sentence.

It is also praise from the heart.

"Whiplash" is a small-scale movie, and the entire story basically unfolds in the music school.

It was basically all carried out in the same training room.

At most, there will be a few other scenes such as the male protagonist’s home, movie theaters, and theaters.

There are almost no exterior scenes.

So the shooting progress was very fast.

In just ten days, nearly one-third of the film was completed.

If we continue at this pace, the filming can be completed in about a month.

"Director Zhou, the film of Twilight is out."

There is good news from Director Yang.

The post-production of "Twilight" has been completed, and Summit Entertainment invited Zhou Qing to watch the film.

As the main controller of "Twilight", this is a matter of course.

Zhou Qing wasn't that careless. He only took a look at the film after it came out.

He did plan to go to Hollywood to see the quality of "Twilight".

But the time is not very convenient now.

After all, you can't take a leave of absence just to go to Hollywood just for something like this.

"I can't spare the time now, but I should be free in half a month, and I will go then."

After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Qing made this decision.

Director Yang already knew what was going on.

"By the way, Twilight is tentatively scheduled to be released on November 11st. The subsequent promotional plan has been made and I have sent it to you."

Director Yang reported the relevant situation to Zhou Qing.

"I see."

Zhou Qing responded casually.

In fact, Director Yang had already told him about the release schedule of "Twilight", so Zhou Qing naturally had no objection.

As far as I can remember, "Twilight" was released during this time period in the original time and space, and Zhou Qing has no intention of changing it.

As for the publicity plan, it was the same. Zhou Qing just knew about it and had no intention of interfering.

He just needs to go to Summit Entertainment to make his presence felt after finishing filming "Whiplash".

"Red Cliff", a heavyweight blockbuster that has attracted attention from the entire industry since the project was launched, will be released on the 10th of next month.

The promotion has been in full swing this month, and it can be said that every place where it is necessary to make its presence felt has been vigorously promoted.

"Director Rainie Wu's epic film Red Cliff is about to be released. It will surely break the record of Now You See Me and become the new box office champion in film history!"

Inevitably, "Now You See Me" was once again brought up for criticism.

The slogans are as loud as those of the previous blockbusters, as if it was effortless to beat "Now You See Me".

The circle suddenly became lively.

"Resurrection of the Dragon", "CJ7", "The Forbidden Kingdom", how many blockbusters are there?

Every time a blockbuster movie is released, "Now You See Me" will be pulled out as a goal to catch up with and a stepping stone to slay gods and prove one's truth.

But no film has ever been able to do that.

Is Rain Wu’s “Red Cliff” okay?
There are many people who support him, after all, Wu Yusen is a famous director with a gilded Hollywood background.

The configuration and lineup of "Red Cliff" itself are indeed amazing.

From an objective perspective, it does have the potential to surpass "Now You See Me".

But there are also many people who are pessimistic.

You know, Director Zhou’s fighting ability is really too strong.

So many blockbusters have failed in front of this movie, so "Red Cliff" probably doesn't have that strength, right?

But no matter what, the attention on "Red Cliff" has increased.

"Boss Han, I don't have the time. You know I'm filming Whiplash."

Han Sanping attached great importance to "Red Cliff" and even called Zhou Qing to invite him to attend the premiere.

Zhou Qing rejected it without hesitation.

Don't say that he really doesn't have time to film. Even if he had time, he wouldn't go.

Are you bored and want to show support for the most representative Hong Kong director?

When he had originally appointed Zhao Wenzhuo to play Ip Man, this guy had openly called on Ip Wai-sin to replace him. (End of this chapter)
