Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"The Four, starring Zhao Liying and Deng Chao, has finished filming, and stills have been released for the first time."

"The 3D martial arts epic The Four has been successfully completed, and Gordon Chan praised Zhao Liying for her high plasticity."

"Fiber Optic Media's production of The Four has finished filming. Zhao Liying jokingly said that she finished the entire play while sitting down."

On May 5, the star-studded production of The Four was finally wrapped up.

He immediately made his presence felt in the circle.

As the second 3D martial arts movie following "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", it is still generally very interesting in the industry.

After all, the exciting fighting scenes presented in 3D stereoscopic effects are indeed a novel experience that has never been experienced before.

Everyone still wants to see it.

Not to mention that there are so many big stars in "The Four", which has whetted the appetite of many people.

Although it is still unknown how the filming is going, it is generally predicted in the industry that the box office of "The Four" cannot be bad.

It will most likely be a hit.

"Don't worry, Liying. It's easy for your movie 'The Four' to break 2 million at the box office. million is not impossible."

Zhou Qing even spoke to Zhao Liying in a very determined tone.

This made Zhao Liying's face glow even more, and she became full of anticipation.

This is her first time playing the leading female role in a movie. If the box office can directly exceed 100 million, it will definitely be a huge success.

After all, a box office of over 100 million is not low!

You have to know that many actresses in the circle have been working for many years but still cannot get a role as the leading lady in a movie.

Generally, they start by playing supporting roles and work their way up.

But she was the female lead from the very beginning, and also the female lead of a movie with a box office of over 100 million yuan. I don’t know how many people were envious of her.

"It's a pity that the female lead of "Blade of the Assassin" has already been decided, otherwise it would have been great if Liying went."

Liu Yifei shook her head, feeling a little regretful.

"The Blade of the Assassin" has not started filming yet!

Theoretically speaking, it is still in time to squeeze Zhao Liying in now.

Of course, this is only in theory. It doesn't actually work that way. The heroine has already been decided to be Liu Shishi.

I don’t even know how long the contract has been signed, how can I just change people?

Liu Yifei was just complaining casually.

"Sister Yifei, I am actually very satisfied now, really."

Zhao Liying immediately waved to Liu Yifei repeatedly, and her expression looked quite sincere.

Her current resources have already made many people envious and jealous, and Zhao Liying is already very grateful.

"Forget about Liying in "Blade of the Assassin", but there is an important role in "Painted Skin 2" that Liying can still play."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, he had planned it long ago.

Although "The Four" has been completed now, if I remember correctly it will not be released until July next year.

It's been a full year.

The following "The Four" 2 and 3 will definitely not be filmed in the short term.

Although Zhao Liying missed "Knife of the Assassin" due to schedule conflicts, she was able to catch up with "Painted Skin 2".

There is a sparrow spirit character in "Painted Skin 2". Although it is a supporting role, it actually has a lot of scenes.

It was originally scheduled to be played by Yang Mi, but now, since it is produced by Zhou Qing Pictures, of course it is given to Zhao Liying.

Although it is only a supporting role, considering the level of "Painted Skin 2", it is definitely something that countless stars would fight hard to get.

"Painted Skin 2"!
Zhao Liying immediately felt her heart beating violently.

Although "Painted Skin" has been released for some years, its status in the circle is real.

That was the first blockbuster in the history of Chinese entertainment to break 3 million yuan, and it directly created a box office myth at the time.

Not only did it sell well at the mainland box office, it also achieved impressive results in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and the entire Southeast Asia.

If a film like this launches a sequel, it will definitely be a top-notch heavyweight film project.

Both Sidan and Shuangbing were willing to beg for such resources.

Zhao Liying is actually considered a big star now, and she is quite popular among the quasi-first-tier stars.

But it is no exaggeration to say that with such resources, you are not even qualified to have a sip of soup.

Now that Director Zhou has directly chosen her for a role, how can Zhao Liying not be happy and excited?
"That's true. It would be nice to give that little sparrow to Liying."

Liu Yifei's eyes also lit up and she agreed strongly.

She had already read the script of "Painted Skin 2" a long time ago and was familiar with some of the characters in it.

"Director Zhou, Sister Yifei, no matter what role it is, I will play it well!"

Zhao Liying made a solemn promise in front of Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei, her voice so powerful.

"Producer Zhang."

"Director Zhou."

After a final meeting with the producer, all preparations for "Your Name" have been completed.

There is absolutely no problem with the previously scheduled start date of May 5th.

The two sides communicated a little more about the launch conference, and Zhou Qing waved his hand and sent him away.

Speaking of the month of May, Zhou Qing Pictures was really caught up in a busy atmosphere.

There is no need to say much about him. As the director and leading actor of "Your Name", he still has a lot of preparation work to do.

The heroine Liu Yifei was also not idle. She was studying the script and discussing the plot with Zhou Qing.

In the early stages of preparation for the filming of "Your Name".

Zhao Liying has been filming for more than half a month and has just finished shooting.

Zhu Yawen is still being "trained" by Lu Yang.

Although the martial arts training has ended, there is still horse riding and wire hanging training waiting to go.

Huang Bo also joined the crew last week. Filming of "The Militiaman Ge Erdan" will start on June 6.

Only Wang Baoqiang had some free time, but in June he had to start promoting "No Mercy" with Wu Jingpao.

So it can be said that Zhou Qing Pictures has been running a little tight lately.

But I have to say, this feeling of fulfillment is pretty good.

"Aoko."

"Senior brother."

Ning Hao once again appeared in Zhou Qing Film Studio, and the big gold chain around his neck was still as eye-catching as ever.

In addition to Ning Hao's short hair, his appearance already looked a bit weathered and fierce.

If you haven't seen him, you would definitely think that he is not a good person.

"The script for 'Heart Flower Road' has been written, and I think it's time to make this movie."

After some pleasantries, Ning Hao started talking to Zhou Qing about serious matters.

Ning Hao had previously hinted to Zhou Qing that the other party was planning to produce "Lost in Thailand" on their own.

It was not until this time that Ning Hao finally spoke frankly and discussed the matter with Zhou Qing.

According to Ning Hao, his Bad Monkey is the main controller of "Lost in Thailand" and he wants to get a 65% share.

The remaining 35% can be given to Zhou Qing Pictures. But Zhou Qing was not completely dumped.

But if the other party makes a new movie next time, it’s hard to say.

Of course, Zhou Qing didn't care about this kind of thing. Even if Ning Hao completely left him behind now, Zhou Qing would have no objection.

As for the 35% share, I have even less objection.

The matter was settled in a few words between the two parties, and the whole process was very smooth and pleasant.

"By the way, I plan to ask Huang Bo to play the male lead in "Heart Flower Road". Does he have any schedule recently?"

Ning Hao then asked Zhou Qing the same question.

"Lao Huang just took on a TV series, which will start filming on the 11th of next month."

Zhou Qing told the truth, "It should be in time."

If I remember correctly, the scale of "The Militiaman Ge Erdan" was not large, and it was estimated that it could be completed in 3 months.

Right now, preparations for "Lost in Thailand" have not even started, so Zhou Qing feels that there will be no problem with time.

"Oh, Lao Huang is also going to the mortal world to act in a TV series?"

Ning Hao smiled and teased.

These days, the status of movie stars is generally higher than that of TV stars, and many of those movie stars are unwilling to act in TV dramas.

Of course, there are also people who develop in both fields, but many of them started out in TV dramas and then entered the film industry.

There aren't many people who started out in the film industry and then went back to acting in TV series.

"The TV series has increased the popularity of the nation, so it's worth it."

Zhou Qing picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"You think Huang's popularity is not enough."

Ning Hao chatted with Zhou Qing for a while before saying goodbye and leaving Zhou Qing Pictures.

The matter of "Lost in Thailand" has basically been agreed upon, and we just need to wait for the subsequent procedures.

"Director Zhou."

"Director Zhou."

As the filming start time approaches, the main creators of "Your Name" have started to join the crew one after another.

Zhou Qing also arrived at the crew hotel one day in advance with Liu Yifei.

We immediately received a warm welcome and enthusiastic hospitality from all the creative staff.

If you didn’t know, you would think it was the emperor going on tour.

In fact, Zhou Qing never cared much about these ostentatious things.

But sometimes when you reach a certain level of status and position, you no longer have the final say on many things.

There's no need to be too different.

Zhou Qing just let it go.

Zhou Qing did not hide anything about joining the crew with Liu Yifei openly.

He knew that it would definitely cause some discussion, and the media might even start hyping it up.

But Zhou Qing didn't bother to care. Anyway, he and Liu Yifei had already decided to make the information public after the movie was released.

If you are being discussed at this time, let it be discussed. If you are being suspected, let it be suspected. This is like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

"Director Zhou, what kind of movie is Your Name? What kind of story does it tell?"

The next day, the launch conference of "Your Name" began, and the atmosphere on the scene was very hot.

Reporters from various media outlets rushed to ask Zhou Qing and other creators a variety of questions.

Try to get the first-hand and explosive information from this press conference.

After all, Director Zhou’s new film is inherently popular and is definitely big news that the entire industry is paying close attention to.

"I'm sorry I can't reveal too much, but I can tell you one thing, this movie contains science fiction elements."

The word "science fiction elements" instantly whetted everyone's appetite.

You know, even though "Source Code" created a high box office of 7 million yuan, it failed to boost the "unpopular subject" of science fiction movies.

Up to now, there are still few science fiction movies in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

The few that are there, such as "Future Cop" and "Robot", are all complete rubbish.

So science fiction movies are not something that just anyone can handle.

At least for now, it seems that Director Zhou is the only one who can handle it.

In addition, science fiction films are so rare in the Chinese entertainment industry, so when director Zhou Qing makes another science fiction film, it naturally raises people's expectations.

"This is your second time acting in a movie, Director Zhou, and you are still partnered with Liu Yifei. Many people are talking about whether Director Zhou and Liu Yifei are in a relationship. Director Zhou, what is your response?"

Zhou Qing was not at all surprised when asked similar questions.

But as usual, Zhou Qing did not intend to respond to this.

"This is the launch conference for Your Name. Please ask some questions about the movie."

Zhou Qing changed the subject lightly.

"This is the second time you and Director Zhou Qing have worked together, Yifei. Are you playing a couple like in Whiplash?"

But the media seemed to be extremely interested in this issue and immediately tried to find a breakthrough from Liu Yifei.

"I can't answer this question casually. Can you let me ask the director first?"

Liu Yifei is indeed a severe patient of interview-obsessed syndrome and is really good at creating an atmosphere.

He immediately turned around and looked at Zhou Qing seriously, "Director, can I answer this question?"

"It's up to you."

Zhou Qing also helped to create some atmosphere.

Everyone's eyes were on Liu Yifei, and she looked thoughtful and conflicted.

"I feel like the director set a trap for me, but never mind, I'll just go for it... Director Zhou and I are indeed playing a couple."

"But they are definitely not just any couple. They are the kind of couple that I guarantee you have never seen in any movie."

Liu Yifei's mysterious suspense really whetted everyone's appetite.

"Director Zhou Qing loves science fiction movies, and his new film "Your Name" is also a science fiction film."

"After Whiplash, Liu Yifei and Zhou Qing play lovers again in Your Name."

"At the launch conference of Your Name, director Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei interacted in harmony, and their relationship once again aroused suspicion."

Related reports quickly leaked out, immediately earning "Your Name" the highest level of attention and exposure.

Firstly, considering Zhou Qing's current level, the films he directed have always been very popular in the circle.

Every time a new film is released, it receives nearly nationwide attention, far beyond the average person’s.

Secondly, "Your Name" has many highlights and gimmicks.

For example, there are science fiction elements, director Zhou Qing is the lead actor again, Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei play a couple and so on.

These are all hot spots worthy of hype.

So there is no doubt that the launch conference of "Your Name" will be absolutely amazing.

The entire entertainment industry knows that Zhou Qing has a new film, and everyone knows that Zhou Qing’s new film is called "Your Name".

Zhou Qing's fans are now eagerly waiting for the film to be released. (End of this chapter)
