Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"The film "The Great Wall" has officially started shooting, Zhang Yimou pays homage in red as foreigners watch in amazement."

"The China-U.S. co-production of the blockbuster "The Great Wall" has started filming, with Hollywood superstar Matt Damon joining the cast, and Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu and many other stars making appearances."

"Zhang Yimou's 3D blockbuster "The Great Wall" has started filming, and Liu Dehua and Lu Han's looks have been revealed."

At the end of March, the super heavyweight blockbuster "The Great Wall" started shooting, instantly attracting the attention of the entire industry.

There is no other reason, "The Great Wall" is just too heavy!

This is a co-production directed by one of the eight major Hollywood studios, and it is also the most expensive co-production in film history.

Regardless of anything else, the fact that a co-production of this nature is co-produced is enough to attract the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

Not to mention, the director of this co-production is the top mainland director Zhang Guoshi!

What about the leading actor?
It’s Hollywood superstar Matt Damon!
So what about the supporting characters?
Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Peng Yuyan, Zheng Kai, Huang Xuan...

A lot of big names!

It exploded.

The lineup in front of and behind the scenes is really luxurious to the extreme, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is luxurious to the point of being amazing.

It is no exaggeration to say that "The Great Wall" is a heavyweight blockbuster even in the entire history of Chinese entertainment films.

Even in terms of configuration, it is even more powerful than "Life of Pi" directed by Zhou Qing.

Both are Sino-US co-productions, directed by the same Chinese director, but the cast of "Life of Pi" cannot be compared with that of "The Great Wall" at all.

"Life of Pi" doesn't even have any Hollywood big names, let alone any Hollywood actors.

The leading actor is just an unknown amateur from Asan Country!

There is no comparison with the all-star cast of "The Great Wall".

The only thing that can be compared is that director Zhou Qing is of a higher level than Master Zhang.

Under such circumstances, even an expert can guess how "The Great Wall" is treated in the circle and what kind of attention it receives.

It is absolutely national-level, and it is hard not to pay attention to it.

After all, this movie is indeed a high-end movie.

There is one thing: with the success of "Life of Pi" directed by Zhou Qing, what kind of achievements can Zhang Guoshi's "The Great Wall" achieve?

No one has high hopes of sweeping the Oscars like Director Zhou.

After all, everyone knows the plot of "The Great Wall", which can be summarized in one sentence: fighting monsters.

There is no way a film like this could win an award.

But I wonder if its box office performance can compare with Director Zhou’s “Life of Pi”?

Compared to art films like "Life of Pi", "The Great Wall" is a genuine commercial blockbuster!

Things are getting interesting now, and many people in the circle are secretly comparing it to "Life of Pi".

Even Master Zhang himself, although he didn't say it, was feeling a bit resentful in his heart.

He has been surpassed by Zhou Qing for too long. This "The Great Wall" is a great opportunity for him to prove himself again!

I just don’t know whether the box office of “The Great Wall” can surpass that of “Life of Pi”?

Master Zhang feels that there is still hope.

After all, the subject matter of "The Great Wall" is there, and there are Hollywood superstars joining in.

As long as the film is good, the box office will definitely be good.

And is his level as Master Zhang worse than Zhou Qing's?
Anyway, Master Zhang would not admit this.

“I never thought that the heroine of The Great Wall would be Jing.”

Liu Yifei also chatted with Zhou Qing about "The Great Wall", but they talked about gossip rather than anything else.

With Zhou Qing as her support, she no longer really takes movies like "The Great Wall" seriously.

In addition, Zhou Qing certified that "The Great Wall" was a bad movie, so Liu Yifei became much calmer.

I just watched this movie with a purely spectator-like attitude.

That's why I was a little surprised by the heroine Jing.

It's not that I'm envious, jealous or anything like that. To be honest, the scenery nowadays is really much worse.

Although Jing has filmed many big productions and worked with many big stars since his debut.

But for some reason, Jing has never been popular and is not considered a top star in the circle.

No matter how you look at it, she is not qualified to be the only female lead in a movie like "The Great Wall".

There is only one answer that can explain it: it seems that the energy behind Jing is really great.

"It's not surprising if it's Jing. She's not an ordinary actress."

Zhou Qing smiled. As a person who had been reborn, he did not find this strange.

What kind of co-production is "The Great Wall"?
They are about to shoot the Hollywood blockbuster "Kong: Skull Island".

"It's quite unusual. I heard that she has contacted you before?"

When Liu Yifei said this, she moved her head closer to Zhou Qing and blinked.

"What do you mean by looking for me? It's as if there's something going on between us. It was Mr. Lu who brought her here. You were there too."

Zhou Qing was speechless.

At the celebration party for "The Hearing Girl", Mr. Lu brought Jing to greet Zhou Qing and asked Zhou Qing to help Jing write the script.

But Zhou Qing rejected it.

This is such an old story, it's a good thing Liu Yifei still remembers it.

"I'm not talking about that time..."

Liu Yifei blinked again.

Not that time?
Have I ever seen such a big one?

Why don't I remember?
Zhou Qing looked bewildered.

"Many people in Beijing Film Academy are saying that our junior sister knows you and is having a secret meeting with you at school."

Liu Yifei's eyes began to become gloomy.

"Slander, blatant slander!"

Zhou Qing spoke righteously, his back straight, and at the same time he was speechless, "What the hell is going on here?"

He and Jing did meet by chance at Beijing Film Academy and they even said hello, but that was all.

So Zhou Qing really is upright in everything he does.

I never thought that even this could be rumored to be a private meeting or something. I can only say that this circle is really chaotic.

"Pfft."

The girl couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I was just joking with you."

"Are you kidding?"

Zhou Qing's body trembled, and he pushed the girl onto the sofa. "You have hurt my heart, how are you going to make up for it?"

"I know I was wrong."

“Knowing you are wrong is not something you can say, but something you can do. You have to show it through practical actions.”

The girl immediately expressed her regret to Zhou Qing very sincerely.

Zhou Qing saw that the girl was indeed sincere and was foaming at the mouth, so he finally forgave her.

"Senior Brother Zhou Qing."

After returning to Zhou Qing Films and writing the script for two days, Zhou Qing was interrupted by an unexpected person:
Han Jianu, the beloved daughter of Han Sanping.

Because of Han Sanping, Zhou Qing is actually quite familiar with Han Jianu.

Han Jianu had also been to Zhou Qing's company before, so Zhou Qing didn't think much about it, but entertained Han Jianu with a smile.

"My lady, please sit anywhere you like, just treat it like your home."

Zhou Qing waved to Han Jianu.

Han Jianu was indeed not shy and sat down on the sofa in the reception area very familiarly.

"Where's Sister Yifei? Why can't I see her?"

Han Jianu turned her head and looked around, then asked Zhou Qing casually, "It's only what time now, it's strange that you can see her."

Zhou Qing just smiled.

"That's right, Sister Yifei should not have gotten up yet."

Han Jianu couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Liu Yifei was definitely the laziest female star she had ever seen, no doubt about it.

But on second thought, with a great man like Senior Brother Zhou Qing as her backer, Han Jianu could also sleep soundly.

"By the way, Senior Brother Zhou Qing, I wrote a script recently. You are the 'No. 1 screenwriter in Chinese entertainment', so you have to help me take a good look at it."

After chatting with Zhou Qing for a while, Han Jianu finally got to the point.

"I said you were so kind to come and see me, and it turns out you were waiting for me here."

Zhou Qing couldn't help laughing.

He originally thought that Han Jianuo was just here for fun, but he didn't expect that she came with a script.

"Wait a minute, the script..."

But then Zhou Qing had an idea.

Could the script that Han Jianuo brought be "Dying to Survive"?

As a person who has been reborn, he knows some of the behind-the-scenes stories of the creation of "Dying to Survive".

In February 15, Han Jianu accidentally saw a program on TV called "Life-saving "Fake" Medicine".

I was deeply moved by the story, so I found the prototype character and obtained authorization as soon as possible.

It took a month to adapt it into a script.

This script is the original script of "Dying to Survive".

However, Han Jianuo was just a screenwriter, so after completing the script, she handed it to Ning Hao.

It took Ning Hao three years to finally film this script.

Once it was released, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Chinese entertainment industry. Not only was it a box office hit, it also had a profound impact.

However, that happened in the original time and space.

Now, with the relationship with Zhou Qing, the first person Han Jianu would look for would not be Ning Hao.

"Brother Zhou Qing, I know you are the best. My father often teaches me to learn a lot from you, Brother Zhou Qing."

Han Jianu chuckled and started speaking nice things to Zhou Qing.

"It's rare to be so sweet, where's the script?"

Zhou Qing extended his hand to Han Jianu expectantly.

Han Jianu was overjoyed when she heard this, and couldn't wait to take out a USB flash drive that she had prepared long ago and handed it to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing calmly took it and connected it to the computer, opened it immediately, and quickly browsed through it.

"Indian Medicine God".

The title was the first thing that caught Zhou Qing’s eye.

Zhou Qing was subconsciously delighted.

Great job, my beautiful sister!

Speaking of the movie "Dying to Survive", it is definitely a masterpiece that cannot be avoided in the history of Chinese entertainment films.

Putting aside the significance of the film beyond the movie, let’s just talk about the movie “Dying to Survive” itself, which is also a hugely successful business case.

Or the kind that is extremely explosive.

The total cost was only 6000 million, but it earned a terrifying box office of 31 billion.

The film company earned more than 11 billion yuan from this movie.

Even though all the movies that Zhou Qing Pictures had released before were great, they were still nothing compared to "Dying to Survive".

"Dying to Survive" is the real winner.

As a reborn person, how could Zhou Qing remain indifferent to such a movie?
But it's a pity.

The subject matter of "Dying to Survive" is still very sensitive, and it would definitely not pass the review if handled by an ordinary person.

If it weren’t for Han Sanping’s beloved daughter Han Jianu being the top screenwriter, “Dying to Survive” would never have been released in theaters.

This is also the real reason why Zhou Qing has never taken the initiative to pursue "Dying to Survive".

But now, things are different.

Han Jianu took the initiative to find me!

With Han Jianuo around, there's nothing to worry about with this movie.

In other words, Zhou Qing can now operate "Dying to Survive" openly and boldly.

However, Zhou Qing did not show these thoughts, but read the script carefully in front of Han Jianu.

Frankly speaking, Han Jianuo's level is still obviously insufficient, and there are many parts of the overall script that need to be revised.

But this is not actually a problem, Zhou Qing himself is a top screenwriter.

What really matters is that Han Jianuo is on the "Dying to Survive" ship, and that's enough.

"Jia Nu, you are still in the learning stage. It is very good that you can write a book to this level. You have the talent for it."

Zhou Qing first gave Han Jianu high recognition and praise.

Han Jianu couldn't help but smile.

This is the praise from the number one screenwriter in the Chinese entertainment industry, which is definitely an honor.

"Then... Senior Brother Zhou Qing, if this script is given to you to film, what do you think?"

Han Jianu looked at Zhou Qing excitedly, with a gleam in her eyes.

With Zhou Qing's level, if he was willing to film the script written by Han Jianu, wouldn't Han Jianu soar to fame?

When Han Jianu thought about this kind of thing, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Your book is good, I can shoot it."

Zhou Qing deliberately pondered for a while before nodding.

"Are you serious? Senior Brother Zhou Qing?"

Han Jianu was so happy that she almost jumped up.

To be honest, she didn't hold out much hope.

Although Han Jianu knew that with her status many directors would agree, and would even be happy to do so.

But Zhou Qing is definitely not among them.

With Zhou Qing's rank, he doesn't even need to curry favor with Han Sanping, let alone Han Jianu.

But Han Jianu didn't expect that Zhou Qing would agree directly.

This shows what?
This proves that it was indeed my script that touched Senior Brother Zhou Qing!

This is the greatest affirmation for Han Jianu.

"Leave the book with me first. I'll spend two days polishing it... But Jia Nu, have you shown the book to Uncle Han?"

Zhou Qing calmly asked Han Jianu about the situation.

"I've seen it. I even made a bet with my dad about whether you can take the photo."

Han Jianu was in a good mood and told Zhou Qing about the bet between him and the Third Master.

The Third Master bet that Zhou Qing would not take the photo, while Han Jianu bet that Zhou Qing would take the photo. As a result, Han Jianu won the bet.

The girl was so happy.

"Uncle Han underestimates you, my lady."

Zhou Qing smiled and didn't say much, but he knew what was going on.

Now that Han Sanping knew about this matter, Zhou Qing could then boldly "order" Han Jianu to do things by himself and hand over all matters related to the review to Han Jianu.

In other words, Zhou Qing can now let go and fully promote "Dying to Survive".

As for the "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" that Zhou Qing originally planned to shoot, well, we can put it aside for the time being.

In front of "Dying to Survive", "Mojin: The Lost Legend" has to give way. (End of this chapter)
