Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"The 3D martial arts epic "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has finished filming. Director Xu Ke said that shooting a 3D movie is very stressful."

"The shooting of 'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate' was completed in Beijing, and the director Xu Ke was collectively 'accused' by all the actors."

"Li Lianjie and Liu Yifei star in "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" and the first 3D shot is exposed."

On April 4, the filming of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", which attracted great attention from the entire industry, was completed, which immediately attracted attention from all parties.

To be honest, the lineup of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" is indeed extremely luxurious.

It can even be called the top-notch one.

There is no need to say much about Xu Ke + Li Lianjie + Liu Yifei, the key is that it is the world's first 3D martial arts movie.

This gimmick, this buff, can be said to have raised everyone's expectations to the maximum.

Director Xu Ke also knows a lot about marketing. He specially organized a wrap-up press conference, at which he showed a more than ten-second trailer.

The popularity was immediately hyped up.

Anyway, "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" has been widely reported in the entertainment sections of all major media outlets without exception.

This immediately made "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" the most eye-catching one in the entire circle.

"Zhou Qing!"

The heroine Liu Yifei was finally "released" and jumped onto Zhou Qing as soon as they met.

He wrapped his arms and legs around Zhou Qing like a koala. If Zhou Qing's lower body wasn't stable enough, he would have definitely been thrown to the ground.

"Xixi, if someone saw you like this..."

Liu Xiaoli beside her couldn't help but sigh and started nagging again.

Image, you have to pay attention to your image, you don’t look like a girl at all.

"Who in my family could see it?"

Liu Yifei muttered something and completely ignored her mother.

Liu Xiaoli shook her head repeatedly in exhaustion and was too lazy to waste any more words as it would be useless anyway.

"Zhou Qing, why did you buy so many things? I told you we have everything we need at home."

It was not until Zhou Qing put Liu Yifei down that Liu Xiaoli politely greeted Zhou Qing.

"Xixi said she wanted to eat hot pot, so I bought some hot pot ingredients, all of which are Xixi and your favorites."

Zhou Qing said to Liu Xiaoli with a smile.

"Then there's no need to buy so much. We can't finish it all."

Liu Xiaoli said this, but her face was full of smiles. She immediately asked the nanny to come and clean up.

"I can finish it. I'm a big eater!"

Liu Yifei nodded heavily and interrupted in a boastful manner.

Liu Xiaoli was at a loss for words. What's wrong with that proud expression on your face?

This isn't something to brag about, okay.

"Really? No wonder I thought you got a little fat."

Zhou Qing glanced at the girl seriously.

"Have I gained weight? No, there must be something wrong with your eyes!"

Liu Yifei shook her head repeatedly, looked at her body and refuted without any objection.

"I'll measure your body later and you'll know."

Zhou Qing leaned close to Liu Yifei's ear and whispered to the girl.

Of course, Liu Xiaoli couldn't hear this.

Snapped!
Liu Yifei slapped Zhou Qing's arm in anger: "You are getting more and more daring."

Now you dare to act so unruly in front of your mother. At least you should wait until your mother leaves.

Liu Xiaoli, who was standing in front of the two men, had a faint smile on her face, as if she hadn't seen anything.

"Ahem, how's it going, Sissi? Did the filming of 'Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate' go smoothly?"

Zhou Qing changed the subject subtly and asked casually about Liu Yifei's work recently.

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei was no longer sleepy and pulled Zhou Qing to talk nonstop.

Both his words and his implicit words showed his great confidence in "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate".

"Don't worry, Sissi. Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate will definitely be a big hit at the box office."

Zhou Qing even expressed his agreement in a very firm tone.

Liu Yifei felt that the blood in her body was about to boil.

You have to know that Zhou Qing's vision is still very sharp.

Anyway, when predicting the trends of some movies in front of Liu Yifei, there has never been any mistake.

"By the way, didn't you say you had prepared a movie for me? What was it?"

Liu Yifei's eyebrows twitched again, she remembered this key thing, and couldn't wait to ask.

"The script is in my drawer. It can't go away."

"Take a good rest and relax these few days. It won't be too late to come back later."

Zhou Qing suggested very considerately.

"No no no, I want to know now, tell me~"

Liu Yifei held Zhou Qing's arm and shook it continuously.

What else Zhou Qing could do was to satisfy the girl.

I told Liu Yifei the story of "Your Name" roughly.

Even though it was just a brief narration, Liu Yifei was still fascinated by it and completely immersed in it.

It's bad enough that the male and female protagonists swap bodies, but they also fall in love with each other despite a three-year time difference?
What’s even worse is that once the body swap is over, one will forget the other person’s name?
Oh my god, this is too cruel.

Especially after the male protagonist saved the female protagonist's hometown and allowed her to survive, they passed each other so many times without recognizing each other.

The girl's eyes turned red after hearing this.

However, it is precisely because of this that the best effect can be achieved when the male and female protagonists finally remember each other and call each other's names.

"You guy, this movie is just to make people cry."

Liu Yifei became more and more confused as she listened.

"Zhou Qing has an active mind and can come up with all kinds of good ideas."

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but look at Zhou Qing with great admiration.

Even people of her age would be deeply moved by this story.

We had originally agreed to let Liu Yifei have a good rest for a few days, but now things have changed.

After I told the girl the story of "Your Name", she couldn't hold back anymore.

On just the third day, he excitedly ran back to Zhou Qing Pictures and read the entire script of "Your Name" in one breath.

The result was that she burst into tears again.

"Sissi, just cry if you want. You're smearing your snot on me."

Zhou Qing deliberately looked disgusted.

"Damn it, I don't have anything like that!"

Liu Yifei raised her hand and slapped Zhou Qing in annoyance.

"But Zhou Qing, I think this male lead role is very suitable for you, why don't you play it!"

"We have never starred in a movie together."

Liu Yifei then enthusiastically suggested to Zhou Qing.

The girl in "Whiplash" is just a super supporting role and definitely cannot be counted.

But "Your Name" is different. The heroine has a very important role, and she is completely equal to the hero. It is also such a romantic love story. The girl still wants to act with Zhou Qing very much.

"Sure, Sissi, your vision this time is still very good. Apart from me, no one else can handle this role, right?"

Zhou Qing scratched Liu Yifei's nose with his hand and smiled.

In fact, Liu Yifei didn't need to say much about this matter, as this was Zhou Qing's original plan.

From a director's perspective, he is indeed very suitable for this role.

"Really? That's great!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately became excited.

"By the way, Sissi, I have something I need to discuss with you."

After the two finished talking about "Your Name", Zhou Qing calmed down and started talking to Liu Yifei about their engagement.

"You are so conceited. Who wants to get engaged to you?"

Liu Yifei's face suddenly turned red, and the more disgust she expressed on her face, the sweetness in her eyes.

However, although this matter is a matter between two people, it ultimately involves two families.

Even if the girl has no objection and is even looking forward to that day, she still has to talk to Liu Xiaoli first.

And since they have already considered getting engaged, then it is natural for Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei to make their relationship public.

Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei both felt that it was indeed time to make it public.

At this moment, "Your Name" is a great opportunity.

The two play a couple in the movie, which serves as a preview and foreshadowing.

It would be a natural thing to release it directly after the film is released.

As for making it public before the film is released?

Zhou Qing never thought about this.

Although he knew that doing so would bring great popularity and exposure to "Your Name".

Maybe the box office can even earn a few hundred million more.

Otherwise, why are there so many people hyping up romances in the entertainment industry?
This trick may be cliché, but it really works.

However, Zhou Qing felt that the relationship between him and his sister should be pure and should not be mixed with these utilitarian things.

As for the benefits gained from hyping up the relationship?

Zhou Qing really didn't take it seriously.

What's more, he is the number one director in mainland China, and it would be very cheap for him to use such means to hype his works.

Not only Zhou Qing, but Liu Yifei also felt so, and both parties reached an agreement happily.

The only problem is that Liu Yifei still needs to discuss it with Liu Xiaoli.

"I'll tell my mom, but it's useless even if she objects. I've already made up my mind."

Liu Yifei swore solemnly in front of Zhou Qing, and her attitude seemed quite resolute.

She and Zhou Qing have been doing this secretly for six years, and Liu Yifei doesn't want to go on like this anymore.

What's more, I'm already at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, why should I delay any further?

At that moment, Liu Yifei and Zhou Qingbing split into two groups.

Zhou Qing has been concentrating on the preparations for "Your Name" recently, while Liu Yifei, who has been confirmed to play the female lead, has returned home to rest.

By the way, you can also take this opportunity to have a good chat with your mother.

"Director Zhou Qing's new film "Your Name" has been approved, and the screenwriter is still Zhou Qing. Other information is unknown."

"After "The Witch" broke the box office record in Chinese film history, director Zhou Qing started a new film "Your Name."

"Director Zhou's latest movie has been revealed, titled "Your Name"."

"Your Name" began preparations in early April and was now quickly exposed by the media.

Once it was exposed, it instantly set off the media and attracted great attention from everyone in the circle.

Mainland China's top director Zhou Qing has a new film coming out!

Although the only information exposed by the media so far is the title "Your Name", there is no other information.

What type of film is it, who are the male and female protagonists, and what is the style.

Wait, wait, everything is unknown.

But what does it matter?

It's not important!

After all, since his debut, none of the movies Director Zhou Qing has made have failed to be a hit.

Moreover, Director Zhou Qing is different from other directors. Many directors are only good at making one type of movie and cannot handle changing the subject matter.

But Director Zhou is different.

Director Zhou has no restrictions in this regard at all.

The films shot by Director Zhou cover a wide variety of subjects and genres.

For Director Zhou, there is no threshold to things like subject matter and genre.

So even though everyone in the circle knew nothing about "Your Name", they all generally believed that "Your Name" would definitely be a hit.

This immediately made the top celebrities in the circle start to get restless.

"Director Zhou."

"Director Zhou."

Zhou Qing’s phone immediately started to flood with calls, including the phone number of Zhou Qing Pictures.

This forced Zhou Qing to issue a special statement, and the situation calmed down a bit before the casting even started.

So when does Zhou Qing plan to start serious casting?
You should know that the preparation work for "Your Name" has already begun.

It’s simple. Just wait until the most important issue with the investors is settled, and then you can proceed.

Considering Zhou Qing's current position in the industry and his impressive record, all his new films were obtained at the begging of investors.

There is no need to bother talking about it at all.

The same is true for "Your Name".

Not only had Han Sanping contacted Zhou Qing as soon as the film project was launched, but also his former partners, Guangdong and Wanda, had contacted him the moment the news of the film was revealed.

Zhou Qing still wanted to bring together the entire upstream, midstream and downstream industry chain, so he decided to produce "Your Name" together with the previous four companies.

Of course, Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning and others would have no objection to this.

On the agreed day of April 4, the three companies all came to Zhou Qing Pictures.

Wang Changtian was very glad that he had made the decision to cast Zhao Liying from Zhou Qing Pictures as the leading actress of "The Four".

Successfully laid a very solid foundation of friendship with Director Zhou.

Isn’t the reward coming soon?

Otherwise, why could Fiber Optic be brought on board by Director Zhou again, just like China Film Wanda?
"This time, the budget for Your Name is 8000 million. Just like last time, Zhou Qing Pictures will keep 50%."

After some simple courtesies and greetings, everyone quickly got down to business.

The other three parties had no objection to Zhou Qing Pictures retaining 50% or something like that.

Zhou Qing is willing to take them to drink soup, so it is Zhou Qing's freedom to give as much as he wants, not to mention that 50% is not a small amount.

As for the 8000 million budget of "Your Name"?
Then no one will have any objections.

You have to know that Director Zhou’s last movie grossed over 10 billion, so how bad can this new movie be?
Not to mention the budget of 8000 million, even if it was two or three hundred million, it would be a huge profit.

"China Film wants 20%."

Han Sanping was as domineering as ever. After a round of negotiations, he managed to take over 20%.

The remaining 30% was divided equally between Fiber Optic and Wanda, each taking 15%, just like the last time in "Witch". (End of this chapter)
