Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 65: Golden Rooster Award Invitation, Female Lead Confirmed
"Okay."

Zhou Qing nodded and interrupted Li Bingbing's performance.

"There's a make-out scene in the movie, is that acceptable to you?"

After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Qing asked Li Bingbing the same question again.

Some actors are more concerned about this, so it’s better to make it clear in advance.

"Do you need to take off your clothes?"

Li Bingbing hesitated for a moment and then confirmed it further.

"No need, just two people hugging each other."

call!
Li Bingbing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's to this extent, then there's no problem.

"That's fine with me. I can take it."

Li Bingbing immediately expressed his attitude.

"I see, thank you for taking the time to audition."

The two men shook hands in a friendly manner, and Li Bingbing politely said goodbye and left.

Although he had a warm smile on the surface, he was actually very nervous and worried inside.

I don’t know what Director Zhou’s attitude is!

I have made such a sacrifice, it would be too embarrassing if I still lost to Fan Bingbing.

But Li Bingbing did not regret it. Even if it failed, at least she had tried.

"Director Zhou."

"Invitation letter to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards."

Not long after Li Bingbing left, his assistant Xiao Liu brought him an invitation letter.

"I see."

Zhou Qing nodded to show that he understood.

These days, the Golden Rooster Awards and the Hundred Flowers Awards were still held together, and it was not until 05 that they were officially separated.

"127 Hours" was indeed signed up, and it was organized by China Film Group.

Zhou Qing would naturally not object to such a thing. After all, who would complain about having too many awards?
Of course, given the nature of the Golden Rooster Awards, Zhou Qing was not optimistic that "127 Hours" would win.

Even if he really wins an award, it will most likely be the Hundred Flowers Award.

However, the Hundred Flowers Award is an audience award, and the awards are judged by public voting.

Zhou Qing couldn't guarantee whether "127 Hours" would be fruitful in the end.

But what can I say? No matter whether there is a result or not, just give it a try. There is no loss.

It won’t affect the Golden Horse Awards in December, right?
"Director Zhou, I'm really sorry. I'm busy filming with Director Feng these past two days and can't spare the time."

On June 6, Fan Bingbing, one of the two soldiers, finally appeared in front of Zhou Qing.

He started off with a sincere apology, which made it impossible to find fault with it.

What's more, Zhou Qing didn't take this kind of thing to heart at all.

Everyone has their own things to do. You can't just ask them to come whenever you call.

This is all normal.

"you are too polite."

Zhou Qing smiled at Fan Bingbing indifferently.

"Also, I want to thank Director Zhou for his appreciation of me. This audition invitation is a recognition of me, and I will not let Director Zhou down!"

First apologize, then thank you, Fan Bingbing is really good at these.

"This is also because you are good enough."

Zhou Qing responded lightly.

After a brief greeting, the audition began.

In fact, there is no problem with Fan Bingbing in terms of image and popularity.

Zhou Qing mainly wanted to see Fan Bingbing's acting skills at this stage.

He also asked Fan Bingbing to perform a crying scene.

But how should I put it, compared with Li Bingbing before, Fan Bingbing is indeed a little worse.

This is understandable, after all, Fan Bingbing is eight years younger than Li Bingbing.

Don’t underestimate the age of eight. Eight years of life experience can greatly enhance acting skills.

Of course, Fan Bingbing is not that bad. After all, he has acted in many dramas. He is just not as good as Li Bingbing.

"Can you accept intimate scenes?" Zhou Qing asked subconsciously, only to realize that he seemed to have asked a nonsense question.

"This is an actor's job, and it's nothing special to me."

Unlike Li Bingbing who had prior knowledge of the matter, Fan Bingbing had almost no hesitation.

The next day, Yuan Quan also came for the audition and her performance was also not bad. After all, she had won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Zhou Qing leaned back in his boss chair and conducted a comprehensive analysis and comparison of the three female lead candidates.

Finally, he called his assistant Xiao Liu over.

"Notify Li Bingbing that she passed the audition."

Zhou Qing casually gave instructions to Xiao Liu.

In fact, the performances of the three are not very different. Even Fan Bingbing, whose acting skills are slightly worse, has no problem playing the heroine of "Departures".

This character is just a tool and there is not much room for acting skills.

However, neither Fan Bingbing nor Yuan Quan is as sincere as Li Bingbing.

She's just a little older, but female celebrities take good care of themselves, so you can't tell at all.

There is no problem in playing a 25-26 year old at the age of 30.

"Also, a public audition notice will be released to the public."

"understand!"

With Zhou Qing's current status as a "quasi-big director", the audition notice quickly attracted great attention in the circle.

In fact, since Zhou Qing’s new movie "Departures" was exposed, many eyes have been watching it.

After all, no one is a fool. Even if you use your thighs to guess, you know that this is an award-winning movie.

Considering that "127 Hours" went to Berlin to win awards, "Departures" can't be any worse.

Frankly speaking, many people are ready to make a move.

Those who have the resources to contact Zhou Qing have already done so.

Those who really couldn't reach Zhou Qing could only wait anxiously for Zhou Qing's movements.

After all, who doesn’t want to go to the top three European countries to make their presence felt?

Now I finally got the audition notice for "Departures".

But then I was poured cold water.

There are no male or female protagonists in the recruitment notice, not even a second male lead, they are all supporting roles!

This makes many actors who want to make a big splash feel a little disappointed.

Director Zhou used newcomers in his first movie, and many people still think they have a chance.

And those actors who met the requirements listed in the recruitment notice became excited one by one.

Being able to play a supporting role in a movie like this is a godsend opportunity.

At one time, countless people began to contact the crew.

The students in the 02 performance class were even more excited.

Their chance has come!

Zhou Qing's studio has been quite busy these days.

Every day it is packed with people, busy auditioning the endless stream of auditioners.

"Producer Hu, ask all the assistant directors to come over for the audition."

It was not until Zhou Qing brought both assistant directors over that the burden was relieved.

Although the two assistant directors are not well-known, they are both senior practitioners in the industry and have very strong professional skills.

Auditioning for some supporting roles is no problem at all.

What's more, Zhou Qing will be there to check it in the end.

However, this is not necessary for the extras left for classmates in the class.

Just come and "divide the cake".

"I'll play the role of the deceased's sister."

"The deceased's son is Zhu Yawen. Are you two playing brother and sister?"

"I'd be disrespectful to this postman."

“This band’s cellist fits my temperament.”

The students were chattering together and it was very lively.
