Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 79 Premiere

On December 12, "Cell Phone" held a grand premiere.

With Huayi's rising popularity and Feng Xiaogang's status in the circle, it is natural that it has many followers.

Zhou Qing, dressed in a suit and tie, also appeared at the venue.

"Director Zhou!"

"Director Zhou!"

Many actors coming and going around immediately ran over to greet Zhou Qing.

"Director Zhou!"

Fan Bingbing came to Zhou Qing the first moment and greeted him with a very warm smile on his face.

Although Director Zhou eventually found Li Bingbing to play the role of "Departures", the first person he thought of was indeed Fan Bingbing.

So Fan Bingbing felt that she should be more eye-catching than Li Bingbing in Director Zhou's eyes.

The reason why we lost a move was simply because Li Bingbing was too insidious and stole our territory.

“It’s such a pity that I couldn’t work with Director Zhou on “Departures.”

Fan Bingbing kept shaking his head and expressing regret, and that expression was definitely not fake.

"There is still a long way to go. There is still a chance."

Zhou Qing could only smile casually.

It’s not that I’m just trying to please Fan Bingbing. After all, who can say for sure what kind of movies he will make in the future and what kind of actors he will cast?
It’s hard to say whether we can really find Fan Bingbing.

"Then I look forward to that day coming sooner."

Fan Bingbing said this half seriously and half jokingly.

At the same time, she also hinted to Zhou Qing in words and deeds that Fan Bingbing did not need to be paid.

Zhou Qing still believed this.

You have to know that Fan Bingbing is much more resourceful than Li Bingbing, and he will use any means to get good resources.

Reducing one's own pay is just child's play.

Fan Bingbing herself revealed that she only received 500 yuan in salary when filming "Apple".

So what about filming "I Am Not Madame Bovary"?

Fan Bingbing himself did not make any revelations, but Feng Xiaogang did.

This guy said in his acceptance speech at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony that Fan Bingbing did not ask for any remuneration.

You have to know that Fan Bingbing at that time was very different from now. That was 16.

Fan Bingbing's status was much bigger than it is now, and the value of celebrities was much higher than it is now.

At that time, making money for top stars was almost like robbing money.

Reality shows have pay of 3000 to 5000 million per season, TV drama pay of over million is no longer a myth, and movie pay is generally over million.

At that time, people didn't ask for any remuneration, and their sincerity was much greater than it is now.

"Director Zhou!"

Wang Zhongjun from Huayi also came to Zhou Qing and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Mr. Wang!"

Zhou Qing did the same, holding a glass of wine and chatting and laughing with Wang Zhongjun.

"Director Zhou, when you make movies in the future, you can collaborate more with Huayi."

"We at Huayi are not short of funds, nor of artists, and even less of sincerity!"

Wang Zhongjun patted his chest and said to Zhou Qing, although his tone sounded a bit arrogant, it was not really arrogant when it came to Hua Yi.

Huayi does need people and money.

However, there is one thing Wang Zhongjun didn’t say, Huayi lacks a bit of class.

Feng Xiaogang does make money from making movies, but he is indeed lacking in winning awards.

Especially in the three major European holy places for showing off one's status, Feng Xiaogang can't rely on them at all.

I'm not like Director Zhou, who can win awards and boost box office.

Huayi knew that Zhou Qing wanted to get involved in the new film, but it was a little late because the filmmaker had already split the profits with China Film.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wang. I will definitely do it if I have the chance."

Zhou Qing naturally responded with a smile.

"Director Zhou, thank you for coming to support us." As the host, Feng Xiaogang also came to exchange greetings with Zhou Qing.

"If you can watch Director Feng's movie for free, wouldn't it be a loss if you don't come?"

Zhou Qing just laughed.

Feng Xiaogang also burst into laughter when he heard this.

The two great directors just started chatting and laughing in the crowd, which really attracted a lot of attention.

"Teacher Ge."

"Sister Xu Fan."

"Teacher Kunitoshi."

Uncle Ge, who had greeted him at Berlin and Baihua Golden Rooster, was also there, and Zhou Qing chatted with him with a smile.

In addition, Zhang Guoli, Xu Fan and others also greeted him.

The movie started soon, and to be honest, Zhou Qing was quite interested in "Cell Phone".

He had indeed seen this movie in his previous life, but it was a pirated version on the Internet and he had never experienced it on the big screen.

The big screen and the small screen are definitely two completely different experiences.

As the lights turned off and the big screen lit up, the story of "Cell Phone" began to unfold.

It is quite ironic that a small mobile phone can trigger such a series of stories.

But regardless, the movie is great.

Wow!
This can be seen from the thunderous applause at the scene.

"Director Feng, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making a movie about mobile phones?"

"We noticed that this movie is slightly different from Feng's previous dramas. Is this a new attempt by Director Feng?"

"Bingbing played the role of a mistress in the movie. Are you worried about any negative impact on yourself?"

During the interview session, director Feng Xiaogang and the main creators were the key interview subjects and were asked a lot of questions.

Zhou Qing had been just a bystander, but he didn't expect the reporters to not let him go.

"Director Zhou, what do you think of Director Feng's "Cell Phone"?"

The reporter from Jiulang Entertainment put the microphone in front of Zhou Qing.

What else could Zhou Qing say?
Just praise it.

"Director Feng's "Cell Phone" uses the inconspicuous mobile phone in daily life as a starting point to tell a wonderful and ironic story that requires patience to savor."

"After watching it, I only have one feeling: Director Feng has made another good movie."

Feng Xiaogang couldn't stop smiling.

Although he has never lacked praise and flattery, it depends on the person.

Can the praise from the great director Berlin be the same as the praise from other ordinary people?

"So Director Zhou, what do you think the box office of Director Feng's Cell Phone will be?"

The reporter asked Zhou Qing another tricky question.

However, for Zhou Qing, this kind of problem was naturally easy to deal with.

"I can't say how Cell Phone will perform at the box office, but I think it will at least be higher than Harry Potter, right?"

Zhou Qing said it very lightly.

"Harry Potter" was released at the beginning of the year and earned more than 5200 million at the box office. It still ranks first at the box office in 03 and no one can shake it.

Zhou Qing’s statement that “Cell Phone” can surpass “Harry Potter” is actually a great affirmation.

Feng Xiaogang and the other main creators were all laughing happily.

"What do you think, Director Feng?"

The reporter put the microphone in front of Feng Xiaogang again.

If an outsider is so optimistic about his movie, it is impossible for Feng Xiaogang himself to be outdone, right?

"Then I'll take Director Zhou's good words. I think Cell Phone is not bad at all."

Feng Xiaogang just laughed and stopped making big promises.

Uncle Ge, Fan Bingbing and others were also greatly encouraged and were extremely excited.

My confidence in "Cell Phone" also increased a bit.
