Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 325 Director Zhou, who is in high demand in the international market, premieres "Your Name"

"Director Zhou's movies are still so popular in the international market!"

Upon learning of the transaction, Han Sanping could not help but exclaim in amazement.

I had been planning to expose this matter thoroughly, to hype up "Your Name" and also to show off.

However, Zhou Qing rejected it.

The huge sales of his movies are already eye-catching enough, so there is no need to continue to excite everyone, right?

When it's time to be low-key, you have to be low-key.

Han Sanping felt very sorry about this, missing out on this opportunity to show off was as uncomfortable as constipation.

But since Zhou Qing is determined, what else can Han Sanping do?
We can only follow Zhou Qing's opinion, right?
"Director Zhou, this is your second time filming with Liu Yifei, and it's also your fifth collaboration with Liu Yifei."

"What is your evaluation of Liu Yifei?"

Zhou Qing continued to work with the main creators on the promotion of "Your Name", and the response on site was as enthusiastic as ever.

There are quite a few people who are interested in the partnership of Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei.

Inevitably, some related questions were asked.

"Yifei is an actor who works very hard and takes acting very seriously. I think this is very rare."

“Whether it’s the main character or a supporting role, even if it’s a small role, Yifei will devote 100% of her energy to it.”

In front of the media and the audience, Zhou Qing of course caught Liu Yifei and praised her highly.

But even though it's a compliment, it's actually the truth.

Liu Yifei's professional attitude is indeed rare in the circle.

Especially now that the girl is so famous and has such a high status, she still insists on doing the fighting scenes herself and does not use a body double if possible. It's really amazing.

He is much better than those actors who have to pretend to eat and use eye drops during crying scenes.

"What does Yifei think of Director Zhou?"

The host asked the same question to Liu Yifei again.

"Talented, I think these four words are most appropriate for Director Zhou."

"Whether as a director or an actor, Director Zhou is a very talented and gifted person..."

Liu Yifei also praised Zhou Qing highly.

Although the words were a bit exaggerated, people at the scene did not think it was exaggerated.

Because Zhou Qing really deserves such an evaluation!

You have to know that Zhou Qing is only 27 years old now, not even 30 years old.

As a result, as a director he has already stood at the top of the domestic entertainment pyramid, and as an actor he has also won the Cannes Best Actor Award. It is no exaggeration to say that he is cheating.

If this isn't brilliance, what is?
"Everyone has seen Director Zhou's performance in Your Name, it was very exciting. Will Director Zhou appear in more works in the future?"

"Probably not. I actually prefer directing to acting, unless there is an outstanding role that impresses me."

"Who do you think performed the best in Your Name?" Director Zhou said.

"There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers. I think everyone has his or her own answer to this question."

Including the movie-watching session, the entire event lasted more than four hours.

To be honest, from a physiological point of view, it is inevitable that everyone feels a little tired.

But psychologically speaking, seeing that the publicity effect is so good, everyone feels more and more energetic even though they are tired.

Everyone became more and more motivated and continued to prepare for the next event.

The whole month of October came to an end in such a busy atmosphere.

"Director Zhou, there is something I need you to decide on."

Just in November, Zhao Liying's agent contacted Zhou Qing and reported something to him.

The crew of "Legend of Lu Zhen" took a fancy to Zhao Liying and wanted her to play the heroine Lu Zhen.

After evaluating the project, Zhao Liying's agent, Sister Sun, also felt that "Legend of Lu Zhen" was a high-quality TV drama project that should not be missed.

But "Legend of Lu Zhen" started filming at the end of December!
What’s even more ridiculous is that the estimated start date of “Painted Skin 2” is also December.

The two sides came into direct conflict.

But Sister Sun is really optimistic about the TV series "Legend of Lu Zhen".

In her opinion, if she can't have her cake and eat it too, she would rather give up "Painted Skin 2" and take "Legend of Lu Zhen".

After all, in "Painted Skin 2", Zhao Liying is just a supporting role.

But in "Legend of Lu Zhen", she is definitely the female lead.

"Legend of Lu Zhen?"

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and also fell into deep thought.

As a person who has been reborn, he knows better than anyone else what level of TV series "Legend of Lu Zhen" is.

This is the well-deserved hit of 13!

The ratings exploded as soon as it was aired, and it directly became the ratings champion in just three days.

No other TV series in the same time period can rival it.

With its absolute advantage far ahead, it became the third highest-rated super hit in 13.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a phenomenal TV series.

Both Chen Xiao and Zhao Liying became famous through this hit TV series.

Although Zhao Liying has become famous through "Chinese Paladin III" and "Startling by Each Step", Zhou Qing does not want her to miss such high-quality resources.

But at the same time, Zhou Qing also didn't want Zhao Liying to miss "Painted Skin 2".

"You go and communicate with the crew of The Legend of Lu Zhen. I will ask the director of Painted Skin 2 to focus on filming Zhao Liying's scenes first. She will definitely be able to finish filming before January next year."

"If we can coordinate, then let's do it this way. Let the crew of Legend of Lu Zhen wait for a while."

"If coordination is not possible, then let Liying give up Painted Skin 2."

After some thought, Zhou Qing finally made such a decision.

My opinion is actually the same as Sister Sun's. We are both optimistic about "Legend of Lu Zhen".

If I can only choose one between the two, I would definitely choose "Legend of Lu Zhen".

"Understood, Director Zhou."

When Sister Sun heard this, she understood what was going on and immediately took the order excitedly.

Knowing Director Zhou’s attitude, she now has a clear idea of ​​what to do next.

“Master Zhang’s latest masterpiece, The Flowers of War, is here, a symphony of war and humanity.”

"The Flowers of War blew the horn of New Year celebrations. Even the merchant women knew the hatred of losing their country, and this hatred had nothing to do with the wind and the moon."

"Xu Ke's 3D martial arts epic "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" will be released on December 12th, and Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie will meet you."

"The world's first 3D martial arts movie "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" is about to unveil its mystery!"

Since entering November, the entire Chinese entertainment market has become increasingly lively.

The flavor of the Lunar New Year period is becoming stronger and stronger.

It's not just "Your Name" that is being promoted enthusiastically. "The Flowers of War" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", which will be released next month, are also being promoted vigorously.

Although these two films are slightly inferior to "Your Name", they are definitely top blockbusters that are highly valued by the entire industry.

Apart from Your Name, no other Chinese film in the entire Lunar New Year period can be compared with it. So yes, the Lunar New Year period in 11 was divided into three parts by Your Name, Flowers of War and Flying Swords of Dragon Gate.

All other movies have to survive in the cracks between these three rivalries.

The only regret is that "Your Name" was released in November, which perfectly missed the other two heroes.

There can't be a hearty fight.

But even if this really happened, everyone would be more optimistic about Zhou Qing's "Your Name".

There is no other reason, this is another movie written, directed and starred by Zhou Qing, and it is also a science fiction movie!

This alone is enough to raise people's expectations.

But even so, Zhou Qing did not slack off at all and started to carry out various publicity and promotion activities with greater efforts.

The popularity of "Your Name" has been further increased.

"Director Xu has contacted me. After our movie Your Name is released, I will go on the roadshow with them again."

After another roadshow, Liu Yifei told Zhou Qing this news while on the road.

"I'm afraid you're going to have a very hard time these past few months."

Zhou Qing picked up a bottle of water and handed it to Liu Yifei, with a hint of consideration in his eyes.

Speaking of Liu Yifei, she has been really busy in the past few months, busy as a dog.

First there was the promotion of "Your Name", then the promotion of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", and then it was time to seamlessly join the crew to shoot "Painted Skin 2".

There was really no chance to even breathe.

“It’s a little tiring, but this is my job.”

Liu Yifei took the mineral water from Zhou Qing, took a sip, and responded nonchalantly.

I have to say that this attitude is still very upright.

"What's more, in our industry, the busier the better. Others can't be busy even if they want to."

Liu Yifei then smiled at Zhou Qing again.

Being busy means having many acting offers and announcements, which is the most direct reflection of an actor's value.

If an actor has nothing to do all day, there is only one possibility.

The other party is out of luck.

"After you finish filming Painted Skin 2, take a good rest. I won't arrange any more dramas for you for the time being."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and made such a decision.

"It's all up to you."

Liu Yifei said without thinking.

Anyway, she is not that ambitious. If there are movies, she will shoot them. If there are no movies, she will just have fun.

"That's great, Director Zhou. The crew of Legend of Lu Zhen is willing to wait for Zhao Liying until January!"

In the midst of all the busyness, Sister Sun brought me some good news, which meant I could have the best of both worlds.

"Legend of Lu Zhen" was originally scheduled to start filming on December 12, but in order to wait for Zhao Liying, it has been decided to postpone the start time to January 26.

In this way, Zhao Liying can finish filming "Painted Skin 2" and then seamlessly go on to film "Legend of Lu Zhen".

As for Wuershan, Zhou Qing was not worried. He just needed to say hello.

The other party is just a new director now and has little say in front of Zhou Qing.

So would three big names like Liu Yifei, Hu Jun and Zhou Xun have any objections to focusing on filming Zhao Liying's scenes?
Zhou Qing believed that would not be a problem either.

Liu Yifei is one of the company’s own artists, and it’s not the first time that Hu Jun and Zhou Xun have worked with Zhou Qing, and their relationship is pretty good.

Coupled with Zhou Qing's status and identity in the circle, this is not a problem.

"Director Zhou, Huang Bo got the role of Tian Sanlin in 'FireWire Brothers'!"

It's not just Zhao Liying, Huang Bo also has good news.

One of the male protagonists in the hit TV series "Fireline Brothers", the role that originally belonged to Huang Bo was once again taken by Huang Bo.

This means that Huang Bo and Zhao Liying have each been arranged to star in a hit TV series.

Both Huang Bo and Zhao Liying themselves, as well as Zhou Qing, the boss of Zhou Qing Pictures, were very happy.

However, Zhou Qing had no way to congratulate the two of them. He was on a roadshow all over the country recently and was not in Beijing.

“Your Name: A romantic film that combines science fiction and suspense.”

“The top of this year’s must-see list is Director Zhou Qing’s masterpiece Your Name.”

"Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei's love and forgetfulness, the annual sci-fi romance masterpiece "Your Name"."

As the release date approaches, the popularity and attention of "Your Name" has reached a new level.

By the time of the premiere on November 11, the anticipation for "Your Name" was almost fully realized.

Everyone in the entire circle and fans of Zhou Qing and others are eagerly waiting for "Your Name" to be released in theaters.

"Director Zhou, I wish Your Name a big box office success!"

“I hope Your Name will create a new record again!”

As for the premiere scene, there is no need to say much. It is no exaggeration to describe it as extremely lively.

CEOs of various film and television companies, big stars and the like showed up in large numbers as if they were free.

The grand scale of the event can only be compared with Han Sanping's "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party".

Even other top directors like Zhang Guoshi and Chen Shishi pale in comparison.

"Director Lu."

"Director Wu."

Not only was Zhou Qing, the top director, surrounded by the crowd, but also Lu Yang and Wu Jing, two people under Zhou Qing, were surrounded by a similar crowd.

There are countless celebrities and big names surrounding each person with smiles on their faces.

Although these two are far inferior to Zhou Qing, they are still extremely influential top directors in the entire entertainment industry.

Most of the actors in the circle need to kowtow to others.

Wu Jing’s words were easy to deal with. This guy had an extroverted personality and moved among the crowd with ease.

Chatting and laughing with some celebrities and investors, the atmosphere was really great.

As for Lu Yang, it was obvious that he was not very interested in all this.

After hastily dealing with everyone, he came in front of Zhou Qing.

Only when he is with familiar people like Zhou Qing can Lu Yang relax.

"By the way, Director Zhou, the finished film of 'Blade of the Assassin' has been released."

Lu Yang chatted with Zhou Qing for a while, then he straightened his face and reported to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing has been busy with the roadshow for "Your Name" recently and has not returned to the company at all, so he didn't know about this matter.

Of course, there is no need to talk about watching movies.

However, Zhou Qing still has confidence in Lu Yang's abilities.

In addition, except for the male lead being replaced by Zhu Yawen, the rest of the cast of "The Blade of the Assassin" has not changed much.

Zhou Qing is also full of confidence in this movie.
