Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"Teacher Xue, congratulations."

On October 10, the celebration party for "Love Is Not Blind" was held as scheduled.

Whether it is director Xue Xiaolu, the male lead Zhu Yawen, the female lead Tang Yan, and so on.

Every one of the main creators is full of vigor and vitality, and their spirits seem completely different.

Especially Xue Xiaolu, the director, has something more between his brows compared to before.

confidence.

At the beginning, Xue Xiaolu was actually very nervous when she started filming "Love Is Not Blind".

After all, she had no experience in directing feature films before, she had only made short films and served as an executive director.

Even if Zhou Qing is optimistic about Xue Xiaolu, it's impossible for Xue Xiaolu to be without some pressure, right?
But now?
Xue Xiaolu is the director of the 2 million club!

In this club, besides Zhou Qing, there are only three others: Zhang Guoshi, Zhou Xingchi and Wu Yusen.

Even if we only count domestic entertainment, there are only Zhou Qing, Zhang Guoshi and Xue Xiaolu!

This achievement was so dazzling that it blinded others and also gave Xue Xiaolu great confidence.

"Thank you! This is mainly because you, Zhou Qing, wrote a good script, and Yawen and the others also acted well!"

In response to Zhou Qing's congratulations, Xue Xiaolu remained very humble.

Although it's hard to hide the pride in my heart, at least I haven't gotten too carried away. To be honest, this mentality is pretty good.

"We can't let Old Zhu hear this, otherwise he will disappear without a trace."

Zhou Qing teased Zhu Yawen.

"Even if he is drifting now, it is understandable."

Xue Xiaolu was very impressed and said, Zhu Yawen is undoubtedly the fastest rising actor, right?
The other party only signed with Zhou Qing Studio in 06, and it has only been two years now!

He actually turned into a top-tier celebrity. Can you believe it?
Even riding a rocket is not this fast.

Therefore, it is very important for those in the entertainment industry to have a reliable supporter.

"Love Is Not Blind" is so successful, what are your plans for the next movie, Mr. Xue?"

The two sides chatted for a while, and Zhou Qing asked casually, seemingly unintentionally.

"Love Is Not Blind" has just been released, I haven't thought too much about it yet."

Xue Xiaolu: To be honest, there's no need to be so anxious about this matter, right?

"I have another script here. I believe that only you, Teacher Xue, can shoot it well. Whenever Teacher Xue wants to shoot, I'll be waiting for you."

Zhou Qing gave Xue Xiaolu a shot of prevention with a serious face.

"Really? What kind of script is it?"

Xue Xiaolu's interest was immediately piqued, and she asked Zhou Qing impatiently.

No director can resist the temptation of a good script.

The same goes for Xue Xiaolu.

"To put it simply, it's a love story between a gold-digger and a gigolo."

Zhou Qing briefly talked to Xue Xiaolu about the story of "Beijing Meets Seattle".

It hit Xue Xiaolu's heart immediately, making her so itchy that she almost couldn't control herself.

This story is interesting!

There was no need to read the script; Zhou Qing's narration alone was enough to deeply attract Xue Xiaolu.

Zhou Qing was not surprised by Xue Xiaolu's reaction.

This was originally a work written by Xue Xiaolu herself, so how could it not suit the other party's taste?

"Zhou Qing, keep it for me. You must keep this script for me!"

Xue Xiaolu immediately said to Zhou Qing in a serious tone.

"Of course, this is the script I prepared for Teacher Xue."

Zhou Qing agreed with a smile.

Xue Xiaolu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"But we definitely can't shoot it this year. If we want to shoot it, we'll have to wait until next year. You shouldn't be in a hurry, right?"

After some brief thought and calculation, Xue Xiaolu asked Zhou Qing for his opinion.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xue, just be as you please."

Both parties reached an agreement on this matter very happily.

"Director Zhou!"

The heroine Tang Yan found a suitable opportunity and came to Zhou Qing to express her gratitude.

"Congratulations, Tang Yan, you are really famous now."

Zhou Qing also smiled and congratulated the other party.

That’s right, the movie “Love Is Not Blind” also made the leading actress Tang Yan famous.

Although it is not as popular as Zhu Yawen, it is also a big turnaround for Tang Yan.

After all, she was just an 18th-tier unknown figure in the circle.

And now?

It’s touching the edge of the second line!

If the second line is still a little bit uncertain, then the third line is solid and stable.

It is no exaggeration to say that it has become famous.

So Tang Yan is now in high spirits.

As for her classmates from the 02 class of the Central Academy of Drama, countless of them called her, and their voices sounded full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Everyone in the classmates group was also talking about it, saying that Tang Yan was really lucky to have acted in a work produced and written by Director Zhou.

I have to say this feeling is really great.

"I have to thank Director Zhou and Director Xue for their support. I still need to work harder!"

However, Tang Yan still kept a low profile in front of Zhou Qing, and no matter how proud he was, he didn't dare to reveal it in the slightest.

"Aren't you filming Chinese Paladin III? It shouldn't have been finished yet, right?"

The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Qing asked casually.

Because Zhao Liying played Xuejian, Zhou Qing knew very well that the filming of "Chinese Paladin III" would start on August 8th.

There are only more than two months left, how is it possible to finish filming?

"It's not finished yet, but it just so happens that I don't have any scenes today."

Tang Yan smiled and explained to Zhou Qing.

The character Zi Xuan she played was, after all, just an important supporting role, and she didn't have scenes to shoot every day.

Zhou Qing nodded and understood.

……

In the film industry in October, apart from the box office of "Love Is Not Blind" breaking 10 million and Zhou Qing's new film, there were no major events worthy of special attention.

Both of these things are directly related to Zhou Qing.

In addition, starting from "Now You See Me", Zhou Qing's subsequent films "Crazy Racing" and "Ip Man" were all box office hits.

Not to mention "Love Is Not Blind", which is a blast to the core.

This made Zhou Qing the most prominent person in 08, no doubt about it.

Whether it is several other big mainland directors or various big stars, they all pale in comparison to Zhou Qing's halo.

Of course, except for Master Zhang.

You have to know that the Olympics have only been over for two months.

The opening ceremony organized by Master Zhang shocked the whole of China.

Let Master Zhang become a god in one fell swoop.

If there were many voices in the circle before the Olympics that Zhou Qing could perhaps be compared with Master Zhang.

But after the Olympics, this voice was almost no longer heard.

The opening ceremony was a huge success and was widely recognized nationwide, which directly gilded Zhang Guoshi's reputation. Zhang Guoshi was originally one of the most expensive directors in the industry, and his value doubled after the Olympics.

The director’s salary soared to 2000 million!
There is only one such person in the entire domestic entertainment industry, and there is no other.

Even Zhou Qing, who has broken records many times, pales in comparison.

You should know that Zhou Qing’s current director’s salary is only 1800 million.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how much attention Zhang Guoshi will attract in the circle if he releases a new film.

"Yi Mou and I are preparing a new movie. I cannot reveal more information, but what I can tell you is that this time we are going to make a commercial film."

"After Curse of the Golden Flower, Yi Mou has been busy with the Olympics and couldn't focus on two things, so there has been no new film for nearly two years."

"But now I want to tell everyone that Yimou is back, and you will definitely see Yimou's works in theaters next year!"

Zhang Weiping, who had been holding back for more than a year, announced the news to the media in a high-profile manner, which immediately caused an uproar in the entire circle.

Is Master Zhang, who has “disappeared” from the entertainment industry for over a year, finally going to release a new film?

Or a commercial film?
Who dares to ignore Master Zhang’s commercial films?
Do you want to know how many years "Hero" has dominated the box office champion in the history of Chinese entertainment films?

He single-handedly started a blockbuster craze in Chinese entertainment.

Although the reputation of his "Curse of the Golden Flower" was not satisfactory, it was the only blockbuster before "Red Cliff" with a box office of nearly 3 million.

This record is simply amazing.

In addition, this commercial film is also Zhang Guoshi's first film after he became a legend in the Olympics, so it has attracted a lot of attention from both inside and outside the circle.

Although Zhang Weiping did not reveal anything, everyone almost subconsciously believed that this movie by Master Zhang would definitely be a blockbuster.

Maybe it can break Zhou Qing’s record of “Now You See Me”!

Looking at the entire circle, only Master Zhang has this ability.

"Director Zhang is going to shoot a new movie, and many people on the Internet are saying that your position is in jeopardy."

Liu Yifei was browsing the web boredly and couldn't help but complain to Zhou Qing.

Isn't this too disrespectful?
What happened to the Olympics?
Can you really become a god by directing the Olympics?

Many people said that Zhou Qing's record had been broken before the film was even shot.

"Director Zhang's ability is indeed not to be underestimated."

Zhou Qing responded casually while sifting through the resumes of those heroines.

It really wasn't that Zhou Qing was deliberately praising Master Zhang. To be honest, Master Zhang was really betrayed by Zhang Weiping.

As a reborn person, Zhou Qing certainly knew that it was the first movie the other party made after the Olympics, "Three Shots Surprise".

This movie, which was highly anticipated by the entire industry, can be said to have suffered an epic failure.

Not only did the word of mouth suck, but the box office was only 2 million.

Even Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", which had a shrinking box office, has not done it.

Just like Chen Shiren's "The Promise", "Three Guns" is also an indelible stain in Zhang Guoshi's career.

But actually, Master Zhang had no intention to shoot "Three Guns" at the beginning.

The movie that the other party has been preparing is clearly "The Flowers of War".

That is the movie that Master Zhang really wanted to make.

During the preparation for the Olympics, the other party had been discussing the script with Yan Geling.

It’s just that Yan Geling wrote the script too slowly, and she still hadn’t finished the script even after the Olympics were over.

And what about Zhang Weiping?
Because Master Zhang couldn't make movies during the Olympics, this guy shut down the entire new screen.

All employees are on paid leave, waiting for Master Zhang.

Master Zhang felt bad, so he agreed to let Zhang Weiping make a commercial film as compensation.

If it weren't for Zhang Weiping, the film that Zhang Guoshi would have shot would definitely be "The Flowers of War".

This movie was released in 11 and grossed 6 million yuan at the box office.

If we can break 08 million by 4, who can say it is impossible?
Maybe it can even surpass "Now You See Me"!

Therefore, Master Zhang’s strength is indeed very strong.

It's just a pity that I met such a scumbag like Zhang Weiping and was completely cheated by him.

"Director Zhang is certainly amazing, but I believe that one day you will completely surpass him."

Liu Yifei raised her head, her eyes sparkling.

In the girls' eyes, Zhou Qing is of course the most powerful.

Even Master Zhang has to stand aside.

"It's fine if you say this in front of me, but don't mention it outside."

Zhou Qing gave Liu Yifei earnest instructions.

"I know, I'm not stupid."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but roll her eyes.

After chatting casually, Zhou Qing finished screening the final resumes and preliminarily selected two female host candidates.

Gao Yuanyuan and Zeng Li.

This is Zhou Qing's consideration based on a comprehensive consideration of image, temperament, acting skills, appearance, pay, and other factors.

Generally speaking, these two are the most qualified and cost-effective options.

"Xiao Liu."

Zhou Qing casually instructed his assistant to send audition invitations to the two of them, and then continued to work on other preparatory work.

"Sister Li!"

The set of "The Fragrance of Flowers in the Flower Basket".

Zeng Li, who had just finished shooting a scene and was taking a breath, saw her assistant rushing towards her in a hurry.

His face was full of excitement. If you didn't know him, you would think he had picked up millions.

"Slow down, slow down! Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zeng Li waited until the assistant took a breath before he could not help but ask the other party.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, undercurrents were stirring in his heart.

I just sent in my resume a few days ago, and now the assistant is like this, is this possible?
"Sister Li, Director Zhou sent me a letter asking you to come over for an audition!"

The assistant quietly told Zeng Li the answer.

it is as expected!
Zeng Li almost couldn't help but slap his thigh, and his fists clenched subconsciously.

I was still quite excited inside.

You have to know that this is Director Zhou’s play!
Everyone in the entire circle is trying their best to act in Director Zhou's play.

Zeng Li is no exception.

It’s just that Zeng Li is not a big name in the entertainment industry. She has been in the industry for many years but is not very famous.

So I didn't hold out much hope at first.

I just gave it a try because I saw that my qualifications met the requirements in the recruitment notice.

Who would have thought that Director Zhou would actually take a fancy to me!

This is a great thing!

However, Zeng Li did not show his thoughts, as if nothing had happened.

Continue to go back to the set to shoot your own scenes.

It was not until the afternoon when he finished work that he quietly found the director and asked for leave.

"Audition for Source Code? Zeng Li, your luck has turned!"

Director Jin Shen did not stop Zeng Li, and even expressed his blessings to Zeng Li.

After all, Director Zhou’s fighting ability is obvious to everyone in the circle.

If Zeng Li really played the female lead in "Source Code", she might have become an instant hit.

How could Jin Shen possibly stop him? (End of this chapter)
