Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 86 The Second Signed Artist

"You really brought the golden bear back!"

Almost at the same time as Liu Yifei, Huang Bo also came to the studio.

I got the Golden Bear trophy and enjoyed it very much.

In any case, it is the highest honor of the Berlin Film Festival.

"When will I be able to win a trophy of this level?"

Huang Bo's face was full of longing.

Especially when thinking about the last time I was nominated, I kept shaking my head with regret.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but shook his head secretly.

Huang Bo’s acting skills are indeed good, but to be honest, he is still a little far from winning the Best Actor award in one of the three major European awards.

Not to mention now, even at the peak of his acting career, it wouldn't be like this.

Unless you meet a director like yourself, who will give you some good training.

"Strictly speaking, you also have a share of the Golden Bear Award."

Putting those thoughts aside, Zhou Qing smiled at Huang Bo.

"That's right, I actually had quite a bit of scenes in 'Departures'!"

Huang Boyi thought about it and nodded in agreement.

If you count carefully, the character Huang Qiang played by him actually has several scenes opposite the protagonist.

Although it is a supporting role, it is definitely a very important supporting role.

He also made important contributions to the final effect of "Departures".

What's more, the Best Picture Award, in theory, belongs to the entire crew.

There's nothing wrong with what Qingzi said about having a share of her own!

"Well, did you feel any comfort from thinking this way?"

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows at Huang Bo again.

"What a jerk you are. What's the point of talking about it?"

Huang Bo complained with a look of disgust and carefully put the Golden Bear trophy back.

"By the way, do you have any plans to start a film recently?"

The two chatted for a while, and then Huang Bo looked at Zhou Qing seriously and asked.

"How soon do you mean soon? I will definitely shoot it this year, but it's unlikely to be in the first half of the year. No matter how soon, I'll have to wait until "Departures" is released."

Zhou Qing answered truthfully.

The preparation of a movie takes at least two or three months, and it’s already February.

So even if we hurry up, there is no chance of filming it before May Day.

"That's it, that's good, that's good."

Huang Bo heard this and nodded mysteriously.

"Why, is there a new play looking for you?"

Seeing Huang Bo's pretentious look, Zhou Qing cooperated and asked him a question.

"Is this weird? I'm very popular now, okay?"

A smug smile appeared on Huang Bo's lips.

"What drama?"

Zhou Qing was really a little curious.

You have to know that Huang Bo has broadened his horizons and turned down more than 20 dramas last year.

It’s not an exaggeration at all. “127 Hours” cannot be said to have made Huang Bo a huge star, but it definitely brought about a big turnaround.

He really doesn't think highly of ordinary film projects.

""world"."

Huang Bo uttered a movie title and stopped talking, pretending to wait for Zhou Qing to continue asking.

"world?"

Zhou Qing's brain raced, and he quickly realized, "Chief Jia's drama? He's unblocked?"

Thinking about it more carefully, okay, it is true.

Wasn’t Chief Jia unblocked in January 04?

He has just regained his "freedom" and is already sharpening his knife to start a new film. He is really impatient.

"No, how come you are so well-informed?" Huang Bobi was quite unhappy that he failed to pretend.

"Who do you want to play? The main character or the supporting character?"

Ignoring Huang Bo, Zhou Qing asked again.

"Of course it's the protagonist. I still need to consider the supporting roles."

Huang Bo loaded it again.

"Okay, Director Jia's movie won't be bad, just take it if you want."

Zhou Qing naturally had no objection to this kind of thing.

There is no need to count on the box office success of Director Jia’s movie, but the potential for winning awards is still huge.

I have the impression that this "World" also made it to Venice.

Although I didn't win any award, being shortlisted is already very impressive.

"Okay, I'll take it. It should be finished in April."

"You'll be able to catch up if you want to start a new film by then."

Huang Bo's little calculations can be said to be going very smoothly.

It's just a pity.

It is hard to say whether Zhou Qing’s next new film is suitable for Huang Bo.

After all, Huang Bo's face is indeed not an advantage, so his acting range is naturally cut in half.

"Chief Jia is also a frequent visitor to the top three European awards. Old Huang, maybe you can win the Best Actor award this time."

Zhou Qing naturally wouldn't say this thought out loud, but just sent Huang Bo some good wishes.

Obviously, Huang Bo took on Director Jia's film in order to win an award, right?
"It's a bit early to get excited. The movie hasn't even been shot yet."

Although Huang Bo said this, the light in his eyes could not be concealed.

After all, Captain Jia's record is indeed impressive.

Since his debut film "Xiao Wu" in 98, he has made three feature films so far, each of which was shortlisted for the top three in Europe.

Some even took home awards.

Although it is not an award in the main competition unit, it is already very amazing.

How easy is it to get into the top three in Europe?
Not to mention that they were shortlisted one after another.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chief Jia is the same as Qingzi.

Once the other party's film is shot, it has basically reserved a seat in the three major European studios.

"We can still look forward to Chief Jia's level."

Zhou Qing nodded seriously to Huang Bo.

Without considering anything else, if we just compare based on the awards, Chief Jia is indeed amazing.

He is no less outstanding than the great poet Chen.

You know, Chief Jia has also won the Golden Lion!
Not only is he frequently nominated for the three major European films, he has also won the Cannes Best Screenplay Award and Lifetime Achievement Award.

With Zhou Qing's affirmation, the light in Huang Bo's eyes became even brighter.

"Director Chen, please contact this artist and make sure to sign him."

After resting for a few days, Zhou Qing handed over a very important task to Director Chen.

He decided to sign a second artist after Huang Bo.

Which artist?
Wang Baoqiang.

If I remember correctly, Wang Baoqiang will be selected by Feng Xiaogang to star in "A World Without Thieves" this year, and his career will soar to fame from then on.

It's like the peaches are almost ready-made, you would be wasting your time if you don't pick them.

Of course, there is one issue that needs to be considered here.

If Wang Baoqiang was signed by himself and did not join Huayi, would Feng Xiaogang still let him film "A World Without Thieves"?

The answer is yes.

Because Wang Baoqiang joined Huayi only after he finished filming "A World Without Thieves".

Moreover, Huayi didn’t think highly of Wang Baoqiang at the beginning and didn’t want to sign him at all.

It was Feng Xiaogang who said some good things behind his back that Huayi reluctantly accepted Wang Baoqiang's offer.

So considering all these circumstances, signing Wang Baoqiang will not have any impact on his development.
