Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"Director Zhou."

"Mr. La, Mr. Ye, Mr. Wang, please come in."

On the morning of May 5, La Peikang, Ye Ning and Wang Changtian all appeared at Zhou Qing Pictures.

In addition to La Peikang, Ye Ning and Wang Changtian are Zhou Qing's old partners and are very familiar with each other.

It's not just business dealings, we've also established a close personal relationship.

Although this is the first time that La Peikang has officially collaborated with Zhou Qing, the China Film Corporation behind him also has a good relationship with Zhou Qing.

In addition, La Peikang, the current chairman of China Film Corporation, also attaches great importance to Zhou Qing.

So the whole atmosphere on the scene was quite pleasant, and just as harmonious as when Han Sanping first came.

"Director Zhou really brought glory to China. He won the Golden Globe twice in a row. This has never happened in the entire Chinese entertainment industry."

While chatting and laughing, La Peikang did not hide his admiration for Zhou Qing at all.

In front of Ye Ning and Wang Changtian, he praised Zhou Qing highly.

"Yes, Director Zhou is not only the top director in Chinese entertainment, but also a big director in Hollywood!"

Ye Ning immediately agreed with a smile.

It is absolutely from the heart and not perfunctory at all.

If we count Zhou Qing's achievements on our fingers, we can definitely prove that he deserves such a title.

"Boss La, Boss Ye, you guys praise me so highly, I can't bear it."

Zhou Qing waved his hands and said modestly in front of the others, "I just got lucky and achieved some success."

"Director Zhou, don't be so modest. You are the first Chinese entertainment director to win an Oscar!"

Wang Changtian added with a smile.

The two sides had a business conversation of flattering each other before they started discussing serious business.

As always, Zhou Qing, the main controller, keeps 50% of the shares for himself, and the other three companies share the remaining 50%.

"We at China Film Academy are the same as when Lao Han was here. We only want 20%. Mr. Ye, Mr. Wang, what do you think?"

La Peikang spoke first, and he used the word "only" very well.

Of course Ye Ning and Wang Changtian would have no objections.

China Film holds 20%, and the other two companies each hold 15%. This has become the "old rule" after the two companies have collaborated many times.

No one intends to break it.

Although Wanda and Fiber Optic are both outstanding private enterprises, they still lack some foundation compared with China Film.

What's more, this is the first cooperation since La Peikang took office, so of course we should give him the face he deserves.

The parties happily reached an agreement on the division of the "Dying to Survive" cake.

Same as before, no changes.

China Film holds 20% and is responsible for publicity and promotion.

Fiber Optic accounts for 15% and is also responsible for publicity and promotion.

Wanda accounts for the remaining 15%, and the theaters will make efforts.

"Zhou Qing Pictures' sincere work "Go Away Tumor" has started its roadshow, and it is the first to sound the horn for the summer movie season."

"Zhou Qing Pictures' first film in 15, "Go Away Tumor King," is about to be released, and Zhu Yawen is talking to fans from afar."

"Go Away Tumor" will be released next month, and the grand publicity and promotion work has been launched immediately this month.

In fact, the film has attracted considerable attention since the day the project was launched.

In addition to the fact that this is a work of Zhou Qing Film, it is also adapted from the real events of Xiong Dun.

It can be said that it is naturally hot.

Both Xiong Dun’s fans and netizens who were moved by Xiong Dun have been eagerly waiting for this movie.

Especially since the film was produced by Zhou Qing Pictures, people are even more looking forward to it.

After all, up to now, Zhou Qing Pictures has released so many movies, and there has never been a bad movie.

Zhou Qing Pictures has truly become a guarantee of quality.

"Qingzi, I probably won't be able to come to the company for more than a month. Call me if you have anything."

The male lead Zhu Yawen said hello to Zhou Qing, then followed Lu Yang and began to promote "Mr. Tumor" in a hurry.

That's full of energy.

After all, Zhou Qing had already told Zhu Yawen that "Mr. Tumor" had enormous box office potential.

It has greater potential than any of Zhu Yawen's previous films and may become the highest-grossing film starring Zhu Yawen.

Although Zhu Yawen did not see that "Mr. Tumor" would become a hit, he was even surprised by it.

But Zhu Yawen never doubted Zhou Qing's vision.

Since Zhou Qing said that "Mr. Tumor" would be a big hit, then "Mr. Tumor" would definitely be a big hit, and Zhu Yawen never doubted this.

Therefore, Zhu Yawen can be said to be full of enthusiasm for the various upcoming publicity activities.

Of course, the same is true for the female lead Bai Baihe.

You have to know that Bai Baihe at that time had not starred in "Love Is Not Blind", and her fame was far less than in the original time and space!
She never expected to be able to star in a movie produced by Zhou Qing Pictures.

It is precisely because of this that Bai Baihe values ​​this opportunity more than ever before.

Because this is really an opportunity that can change your destiny, it is not an exaggeration at all.

Haven’t you seen how many people have become famous through the movies released by Zhou Qing Pictures?
Now, is it finally my turn?
How can Bai Baihe stay calm?

"Hello, Director Zhou. I'm actor Tan Zhuo. I'm really honored to have this audition opportunity."

The female lead, Tan Zhuo, was the first to come to Zhou Qing Pictures for an audition, with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on her face.

There's no way not to be excited.

This is a film directed by Director Zhou!

For all the female stars in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, it is a rare opportunity and one may not be able to get in even if he tries his best.

It is a top film project that even top stars like Sidan Shuangbing will go crazy for.

And what about Tan Zhuo?

He is just an ordinary little actor in the circle.

It's completely out of the top 18.

So Tan Zhuo never thought about acting in such top-notch movies.

Because that is nothing but a foolish dream, and if people hear it, they will be ridiculed by everyone.

There is no other reason, it’s just that they are too far apart.

Under such circumstances, Tan Chao really could not have imagined that he would actually receive an audition invitation from Zhou Qing Pictures.

The role I auditioned for was the female lead!
"Tan Zhuo, you are not dreaming!"

Tan Zhuo's first reaction was disbelief and he wondered if he was dreaming.

How could such a huge pie fall on my head?
Am I so lucky?
Even when I actually stood in front of Zhou Qing, I still felt it was unreal.

"Hello Tan Zhuo, I'm also glad that you can come for the audition."

Zhou Qing smiled and shook hands with Tan Zhuo.

Seeing that Zhou Qing, such a top director, was not arrogant at all and was very approachable, Tan Chao gradually relaxed.

I had a brief discussion with Zhou Qing on some related matters.

"Let's try a scene."

After a brief chat between the two sides, Zhou Qing made such a request to Tan Chao.

Although she has confidence in Tan Zhuo, the filming of "Dying to Survive" was three years earlier than the original time and space, right?
Who knows if Tan Zhuo has really reached the level of the movie "Dying to Survive"?

So it is necessary to try a mirror.

Naturally, Tan Zhuo would not have any objection, after all, she came here for an audition.

"Do you know Cheng Yong's story?" Before the audition, Zhou Qing asked Tan Zhuo this question.

"I know Director Zhou. I've also watched the show 'Fake Life-Saving Medicine'."

Tan Chao answered immediately.

In fact, Tan Zhuo had never watched this program at the beginning, and he didn't know who Cheng Yong was.

However, since receiving Zhou Qing's audition invitation, Tan Chao has made full preparations.

I checked all the relevant information.

"That's good to know. The role you are auditioning for now is a partner who sells medicine with Cheng Yong. In other words, it's a big agent."

"You and Cheng Yong have been selling generic drugs to those patients at low prices. You think you are doing good deeds and saving lives."

"But suddenly one day, Cheng Yong told you that he was quitting and that he wanted to disband your team."

"His generic drugs will be sold to a greedy counterfeit drug dealer."

"You said 'Thank you, Brother Yong' to Cheng Yong and then turned and left."

"As for that last reaction, do you want to prepare for it?"

Zhou Qing specifically described an audition situation to Tan Zhuo.

"Director Zhou, please give me five minutes."

Tan Zhuo did not act pretentiously in front of Zhou Qing and immediately spoke to Zhou Qing.

Then, in front of Zhou Qing, he began to carefully plan it.

In less than five minutes, Tan Zhuo took the initiative to greet Zhou Qing and began her performance.

"Thank you, Brother Yong."

Tan Zhuo mistook Zhou Qing for Cheng Yong and spoke in an extremely complicated tone, with his eyes slightly red.

There aren't that many micro-expressions on his face, but many emotions are conveyed with incredible clarity.

Disappointment, anger, heartache, regret, etc.

The acting is absolutely top-notch, without any let-down at all.

"Okay, Tan Zhuo, go back and prepare. We will start filming in the middle of this month."

Zhou Qing didn't say anything and decided on Tan Zhuo on the spot.

"Thank you, Director Zhou!"

Tan Zhuo was surprised and delighted and could hardly believe his ears.

Got it!
Have we really won the leading female role in Director Zhou’s new film?
This is fucking unbelievable!

"Director Zhou."

"Director Zhou."

Following Tan Zhuo, Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Yu and others also came for audition one after another.

I have to say that everyone’s performance was very impressive and did not disappoint Zhou Qing.

"Director Zhou, the finished film of Nirvana in Fire is out."

During this period, Director Chen reported such a matter to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Has this classic TV series finally been produced?
Logically speaking, Zhou Qing Pictures, as the main controller of "Nirvana in Fire", needs to go to Shanying to inspect the specific quality.

However, the entire cast of "Langya Bang" is from the original time and space, and Zhou Qing is completely reassured about this.

In addition, Zhou Qing was busy with the preparations for "Dying to Survive" at the moment, so he completely handed the matter over to Director Chen.

He believed that there would be no problem with the quality of "Nirvana in Fire".

"How's the negotiation going with the TV station? Have you decided which station will premiere?"

Compared with the quality of the TV series, Zhou Qing is more concerned about this issue.

Although Zhou Qing Pictures is a top production company in the industry, it is ultimately in the film industry and its influence in the TV drama industry is extremely limited.

But Shanying is just the opposite, they specialize in TV dramas.

Therefore, based on the concept that professionals should do professional things, Shanying will be the one to negotiate with the TV station.

"It has been agreed. It will premiere on both Beijing Guardian and Dragon TV on September 9th."

Director Chen gave this answer.

Awesome!
Zhou Qing couldn't help but give Shanying a thumbs up crazily.

You should know that both Beijing Guards and Dragon TV are satellite TV stations.

This means that "Nirvana in Fire" will be premiered on two satellite TV stations at the same time!

What a beautiful start!

Recall that Wang Baoqiang’s "Soldier Assault" and Zhao Liying’s "Chinese Paladin III" and other dramas were all first broadcast on local TV stations, and were finally broadcast on satellite TV after their performance and reputation gradually fermented.

Compared with this, the beginning of "Nirvana in Fire" is undoubtedly very gratifying.

Of course, the same is true for "The Journey of Flower" starring Zhao Liying.

The drama premiered on the toilet channel on June 6 and was also broadcast directly on satellite TV.

Its potential to become a huge hit is clearly visible to the naked eye.

As the main controller of these two dramas, Zhou Qing is naturally in a very happy mood.

In fact, when it comes to making money, neither "Nirvana in Fire" nor "The Journey of Flower" can make money as fast as Zhou Qing's movies.

The main reason why Zhou Qing still got involved was that it was not a big deal.

Just hand it over to the original producer and be a hands-off manager yourself.

By the way, you can also increase the popularity of Zhou Qing Pictures and promote the artists under your own company. Why not do it?

"Oh, and Director Zhou, the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards called me."

After reporting on the matters concerning Nirvana in Fire, Director Chen mentioned another matter.

"Why, you still don't give up?"

Zhou Qing couldn't help but shook his head, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

In fact, Zhou Qing was an important attraction at the Golden Horse Awards in the past.

There is no other reason, Zhou Qing’s rank is really too high and his status is really too big.

Even at the Golden Horse Awards, he would definitely be a heavyweight guest.

In particular, Zhou Qing, who is from the mainland, almost never participates in the mainland's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, but has a special liking for the Golden Horse Awards.

This makes the Golden Horse Awards feel even more proud.

But the Golden Horse Awards would never have thought that just last year, Zhou Qing ordered Zhou Qing Pictures to withdraw all its works from the Golden Horse Awards.

This is a heavy blow to the Golden Horse Awards.

You should know that Zhou Qing Pictures releases several works every year, and they are all heavyweight works.

How could the Golden Horse bear it?
This year, I started doing Zhou Qing's homework early, hoping to get Zhou Qing's support.

But unfortunately, Zhou Qing had already made the decision that he would never take Jin Ma out to play again.

Why?

The Golden Horse Awards are starting to rot.

Especially last year's actions made Gong Huang so angry that he openly criticized the Golden Horse Awards.

From that time on, Zhou Qing felt that it would be better not to go for the Golden Horse.

Not only last year, I won't go there again from now on.

"We won't join in the fun after the Golden Horse Awards."

Zhou Qing waved his hand and said to Director Chen in a very nonchalant manner, as if this was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning. (End of this chapter)
