Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 74 Bona Films and the Sixth Princess
"Now that we have finished filming Incense, what is the next movie you plan to shoot?"

The two sides chatted about incense for a while, and Zhou Qing naturally asked Ning Hao this question.

I won’t pretend anymore. Zhou Qing is indeed thinking about Ning Hao’s "Crazy Stone".

And based on Zhou Qing's understanding of Ning Hao, the other party has a strong desire to create.

He is definitely not satisfied with a small-scale project like "Incense".

"Don't worry, the incense has just been taken."

Ning Hao waved his hand, seemingly not caring.

However, the issues discussed next with Zhou Qing became a bit more profound.

How profound is it?
The mission and responsibility of contemporary filmmakers, and what kind of films directors should make.

It can be seen that Ning Hao is not pretending to be cool, but is really conflicted.

It was at this time that Zhou Qing suddenly remembered that after Ning Hao finished filming "Incense", he actually shot an art film.

It's not like I jumped directly to "Crazy Stone".

"What about you, Aoko? If you were to make your next movie, what kind of movie would it be?"

“Is it an art film or a commercial film?”

Ning Hao seemed to be asking casually, but his eyes were actually still fixed on Zhou Qing.

He hoped to get answers, or inspiration, from Zhou Qing.

"Commercial film!"

Zhou Qing said without hesitation, with such decisiveness.

"why?"

Ning Hao was very surprised.

The two films Zhou Qing is currently shooting are not purely commercial films.

Although it cannot be considered a pure art film, if it must be classified, it would be more appropriate to classify it as an art film.

“Commercial films are the future of movies.”

Zhou Qing said firmly, "You need to think clearly about who you are making your movie for."

Ning Hao fell into deep thought.

"So what kind of movie do you think I should make?"

After a moment, Ning Hao seriously asked Zhou Qing for his opinion.

"Commercial Film."

Zhou Qing said without hesitation.

Of course Ning Hao is also very good at making art films, but times have changed.

Ning Hao left.

I left with a sense of entanglement and thought.

Now he seems to be at a crossroads in life, not knowing which path to take next.

However, Zhou Qing did not take this matter to heart because he knew the answer in advance.

It all depends on when Ning Hao figures it out.

With the completion of the filming of "Departures", Zhou Qing is not so busy anymore.

In addition to cooperating with China Film Group in publicity, the most important thing is to focus on the post-production of the film.

In addition, the first priority of "Departures" is to win awards, so Zhou Qing's requirements are still very strict.

Fortunately, the team Zhou Qing found is a top domestic team. Although they are expensive, their business capabilities are indeed excellent.

Zhou Qing made his requirements clear and they were all completed without compromise.

In just two weeks, 60 percent of the film's post-production work was completed.

Still while ensuring quality and quantity.

At this rate, there will be no problem in registering for the Berlin Film Festival.

Zhou Qing was very satisfied with this.

"Director Zhou, President Yu is here."

At the end of October, Yu Dong from Bona Film Group came to us.

This future giant in the industry was only established in January.

"Hello, Director Zhou. Although Bona is a private enterprise, we still have a very complete industrial chain. We not only invest in movies, but also distribute them."

"We are currently the only private enterprise that can distribute movies."

"Besides, we are not outsiders. Director Zhou may not know that I am actually a soldier under General Han." Yu Dong was quite polite to Zhou Qing and even pulled out his old leader Han Sanping.

The words revealed a message: seeking cooperation.

It is naturally too late for "Departures" at the moment, as the distribution has been handed over to China Film.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as we have a good relationship, we can work together again on the next movie.

"You're welcome, Mr. Yu. I'll definitely do it if I have the chance."

Regardless of whether he had this plan or not, Zhou Qing naturally expressed his courtesy.

Before this, Zhou Qing had actually met Wang Changtian of Fiber Optic Media.

Although Fiber Optic Media is currently mainly engaged in event planning, its ambition to get involved in the film and television industry can no longer be suppressed.

Zhou Qing naturally received him politely.

However, as to whether we can cooperate or not, that is a matter for the future.

"Director Zhou, the people from the movie channel are here."

When he had almost finished talking to Yu Dong, assistant Xiao Liu knocked on the door and came in to remind him.

"Director Zhou is busy with work, so I won't bother you any more. Let's go out for tea together some other day."

Seeing this, Yu Dong tactfully said goodbye.

"Of course, Xiao Liu, please see Mr. Yu off for me."

After seeing Yu Dong off, Zhou Qing went to meet the Sixth Princess' staff.

As we all know, the Sixth Princess and CCTV are not actually from the same company, and their status is much higher than others.

Zhou Qing naturally did not dare to neglect his side.

"Director Zhou."

"Director Sun."

After a friendly greeting, the two sides began to negotiate the sale of the copyright of "127 Hours".

That’s right, the Sixth Princess plans to purchase the film broadcasting rights for “127 Hours”.

Zhou Qing naturally would not refuse such a win-win situation.

In less than half an hour, the two sides shook hands in friendship.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Thinking about being able to watch my own movie on programs like Six Princesses’ Best Movies in the future, it would feel quite different.

Zhou Qing didn't stay in the studio for long because he had classes in the afternoon.

After explaining some relevant matters to Director Chen, I returned to Beijing Film Academy.

Huang Bo came over after hearing the news, and he looked extremely excited.

The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony will begin tomorrow.

This guy Huang Bo won the Best Actor Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards!

Of course, the Golden Rooster Awards has nothing to do with Huang Bo, but even so, Huang Bo can't wait.

"Look how proud you are."

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

This shameless bear has been chattering on and on all day long, only talking about the Hundred Flowers Awards.

It’s as if he’s afraid that others don’t know that he won the Best Actor award.

"You two are really not going? This is the Hundred Flowers Awards."

Huang Bo enthusiastically invited the two.

"No one wants to see you showing off."

Zhu Yawen refused without even thinking about it.

Well, actually Zhu Yawen also wants to go to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.

But they are just two extras, and there is no way the class teacher will approve their leave.

This is different from the last time I went to Berlin, when school was already on vacation!

"Okay then. Then Qingzi and I will go together."

Huang Bo still feels quite regretful.

After all, if there are no acquaintances around you when you show off, the pleasure will be greatly reduced.
