Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 68: The Undertaker Starts Filming

It’s different from the low-key style when filming “127 Hours”.

When the filming of "Departures" started, Zhou Qing held a grand press conference.

After all, he is an award-winning director in Berlin. "Departures" has attracted much attention since the project was launched, and many media outlets have come to visit.

It was quite a big scene.

Click, click, click!
Spotlights from all directions flashed continuously, raising the atmosphere on the scene.

Although there were big names like Liu Dehua and Li Bingbing present, Zhou Qing was undoubtedly the core of this press conference.

Needless to say, he sat in the C position and was also the focus of attention from all media.

"Director Zhou, why did you plan to make a movie with a theme like "Departures"?"

"I accidentally read a novel called "The Diary of the Coffin Man" before. I thought it was very good and moved me. I wanted to make this story into a movie so that more people can see it."

"127 Hours has achieved great success both artistically and commercially. Do you think Departures can create the myth of 127 Hours again?"

"'Departures' is a good story. I believe it will be more touching than '127 Hours'. Let's wait and see."

"Qin Hao is just a newcomer. Why would you choose a newcomer to play such an important role as the male lead?"

"Although Qin Hao is only a newcomer, he is a very good actor. His image and temperament fit the role very well, and his acting skills are also very good. He will bring surprises to everyone."

"Director Zhou..."

Questions were thrown out one after another, basically all revolving around Zhou Qing.

Although this was the first time Zhou Qing experienced such a situation in this world, after all, he had lived two lives as a human being, so he was able to handle it with ease.

What's more, these media reporters have already received red envelopes, so naturally they won't cause any trouble.

In addition to Zhou Qing, two big names, Hua Zai and Li Bingbing, will naturally not be left out.

"Hua Zai, your role in the movie is just a supporting role, right?"

"For me, there is no distinction between protagonists and supporting roles, only good roles and bad roles. Brother Liu is a good role, and this story is an even better story. I am very happy to be a part of this story."

"Li Bingbing, it is said that Director Zhou originally intended to find Fan Bingbing to play this role, but why did it become you now?"

"I don't know what you heard, but I got this role because my audition performance was okay, right Director Zhou?"

Zhou Qing just smiled.

"Li Bingbing is an excellent actress. She has appeared in many works and has a good image. There is no problem for her to play the leading role in "Departures."

Although these topics may seem a bit sharp, they had actually been discussed in advance.

If it weren’t sharp, where would the controversy, discussion and heat come from?

Lasting more than two hours, the press conference was generally very successful.

It’s just that the male lead Qin Hao is a little ignored.

Apart from a few reporters who asked a few questions symbolically, basically no one paid any attention.

He is obviously the most important character in the movie, but he is made to seem like an invisible figure.

Qin Hao was quite open-minded about this. He was nothing now, so why should others look up to him?
If I want to prove myself, I have to make a good movie of "Departures"!
Qin Hao felt more and more motivated.

"Qin Hao, are you ready?"

The shooting officially started after the press conference, and the first shot was of the male lead Qin Hao.

Because they had just taken out a loan to buy an expensive cello, but the band was disbanded by the boss right after.

Qin Hao, who was unemployed, sat at the table, looking at the cello in front of him with a sense of loss.

No lines, just expressions.

It requires a certain level of acting skills to pull it off, but Zhou Qing believes that it will definitely not be a difficult task for Qin Hao.

"Ready director."

Qin Hao also nodded heavily.

He has studied the script many times, and the director also explained it in detail during the reading and discussed it.

I've already eaten it thoroughly.

With his acting talent, there is no problem in controlling it.

"Okay, all units are ready!"

"start!"

The stagehand then put down the clapperboard.

The photographer also carried the camera and took pictures of Qin Hao. Qin Hao just sat on the sofa in a weak posture, without any life in his body.

It was a feeling of loss.

In fact, Qin Hao doesn’t have any extra micro-expressions, and you can’t even see any major emotional fluctuations.

But as soon as you sit there, you can feel a strong sense of decadence coming towards you.

That was not acted out at all, but came out naturally.

"good."

Zhou Qing behind the monitor couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Qin Hao's performance was still very stable and did not disappoint himself.

"This Qin Hao is quite capable."

Liu Dehua, Li Bingbing and others who were watching the show nearby also instantly looked at Qin Hao with admiration.

In fact, at the beginning they were a little puzzled as to why Zhou Qing looked for Qin Hao. What was it about this guy that impressed Director Zhou?

At this moment, everyone finally understood.

This guy's acting is so good.

Although he has never filmed any movies, his acting skills are so natural and smooth, which is something that many people cannot achieve.

The two of them compared themselves secretly and thought, well, neither of them might be able to do it!
No wonder, no wonder Director Zhou chose this person to film the movie, there is indeed a reason for it.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

The first shot is usually taken in one take, and there is really nothing wrong with Qin Hao's performance.

"Bingbing, it's your turn now."

"Photographer, change the camera position."

"Lights, radio, all units, get ready quickly."

After the relevant personnel have been busy, it is time for Li Bingbing to make his debut.

"start!"

Squeak!

The door was pushed open and Li Bingbing, who had just finished work, walked in with a smile on his face.

“I bought yellow croaker today!”

She lifted the bag in her hand and called out to Qin Hao.

When Qin Hao saw his wife come back, he immediately turned around and forced a smile at her.

However, Li Bingbing did not notice that something was wrong with her husband and went to the kitchen happily.

"We can make braised yellow croaker for dinner tonight...what's wrong with you?"

After putting the fish in the kitchen, Li Bingbing came to the living room and found that something was wrong with her husband.

"Disbanded..."

Qin Hao was in an extremely depressed mood. After a few seconds of silence, he told the truth.

"What disbanded?"

"Orchestra."

The expression on Li Bingbing's face also froze for a moment.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

Li Bingbing is also an experienced veteran actor, and his role is not difficult.

It's still easy to shoot.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the previous script reading.

Because Li Bingbing and Qin Hao have become very familiar with each other during these few days of reading together.

Only now can I perform so naturally.

Just like a real couple.
