Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 87 The Unstoppable Takeoff
So what about "Soldier Assault", which is of vital importance to Wang Baoqiang and made him famous?

Don't worry about that either.

Although Huayi is a co-producer of "Soldier Assault", it actually joined later.

At the beginning, Huayi was not on the car of "Soldier Assault".

The production team ran out of funds halfway through production, so they found Huayi.

Moreover, Huayi is not interested in "Soldier Assault".

In fact, people in the circle were generally not interested in "Soldier Assault" and were not optimistic about it at that time.

After all, a military-themed drama without any female characters looks like a flop no matter how you look at it.

Later, the popularity of "Soldier Assault" surprised countless people.

Therefore, it was impossible for Huayi to interfere with the casting of "Soldier Assault" from beginning to end.

The reason why Wang Baoqiang was able to act was because his stupidity impressed director Kang Honglei, that's all.

At that time, Zhang Yi and Chen Sicheng both tried hard to get this role, but it was all in vain as they were rejected by Kang Honglei.

Because only Wang Baoqiang is the most suitable person for this role.

The silly kid Wang Baoqiang didn't want to act at first. At that time, he was determined to act in martial arts movies.

In the end, it was Feng Xiaogang's wife Xu Fan who persuaded him to act in the film.

As for Huayi?

Wang Baoqiang doesn’t care whether the role is good or not.

The two Wangs invested purely out of respect for Kang Honglei and they didn't bother to care about anything else.

So even if he didn't join Huayi, this drama was destined to belong to Wang Baoqiang.

Baoqiang's momentum of takeoff is unstoppable.

In other words, signing Wang Baoqiang now is equivalent to picking up a big star for free without any effort.

Why not?
"Wang Baoqiang?"

Director Chen took Wang Baoqiang's information and took a look at it, and a question mark almost popped up on his forehead.

Director Zhou’s style is really a bit confusing.

Other people sign handsome men and beautiful women, why is it completely the opposite when it comes to Director Zhou?

Just picking ugly tickets?
The previous Huang Bo was ugly enough, and now here comes an even uglier one.

However, Director Chen also understood that Director Zhou’s thoughts were not something he could guess.

Isn't the vision of the great director from Berlin more reliable than mine?

"Understood, Director Zhou."

Director Chen simply responded and then rushed off to carry out the task.

As for the result, there is no doubt about it.

Just the next day, Wang Baoqiang appeared in Zhou Qing's office.

"Director Zhou, are you really going to sign me?"

Wang Baoqiang still finds it hard to believe it and feels that all this is so unreal.

How could a minor actor like me be noticed by the fourth most famous director in mainland China?

It’s like a dream!
You know, although Wang Baoqiang's "Blind Well" was a great success, it actually did not add much to Wang Baoqiang's career.

After all, it couldn’t be shown in mainland China, and director Li Yang was banned because of this.

So Wang Baoqiang still plays supporting roles at the Beijing Film Studio every day.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Wang Baoqiang's eyes, a director of Zhou Qing's level is really out of reach.

However, now, this big shot actually decided to sign himself!
How could Wang Baoqiang remain calm?
"I called you here, do you think it's true?"

Zhou Qing just smiled.

"It's good if it's true, it's good if it's true, I just can't believe it."

Wang Baoqiang kept rubbing his hands, his mouth grinning and unable to close.

"Xiao Liu."

I called over my assistant Xiao Liu, who then brought over the contract sample.

Then he explained some contract issues to Wang Baoqiang in detail.

"Ten years. I'll sign this for ten years."

Wang Baoqiang chose the one that took the longest without any hesitation.

This is a great director who is on par with Zhang, Chen and Feng.

Now that I have this opportunity, I must hold on to it tightly.

"Baoqiang, don't worry, read the contract carefully first. If you have any questions, you can raise them now."

"Signing an agency contract is a big deal, so take your time."

Zhou Qing gave Wang Baoqiang some advice.

"No need, I trust Director Zhou."

Wang Baoqiang showed a simple smile on his face, picked up the pen, and quickly signed his name.

What are you looking at?

Wang Baoqiang’s education level was not high, and he could hardly understand the script during filming because he didn’t recognize many of the words.

You have to look up the dictionary on the spot.

How can I understand a contract?
Anyway, a great director like Director Zhou won’t let himself down.

"Baoqiang, welcome to join us."

After completing the signing process, Zhou Qing smiled and extended his hand to Wang Baoqiang.

Wang Baoqiang hurriedly stood up and shook hands with Zhou Qing with both hands.

The whole person was excited like crazy.

From now on, I will no longer be a supporting role!

"When are you going to come play with me? I've already finished filming half of the show."

On QQ, Liu Yifei sent another message to Zhou Qing.

"Come on, come on."

While Zhou Qing was replying, he was also secretly thinking about this question.

This is not the first or second time that Liu Yifei has invited me to visit her on set, and I have agreed each time.

So I have to go for sure. After all, it’s not nice to stand someone up.

It’s just that I was always busy before, so I didn’t have time to go.

But now...

"When is it going to be soon? Are you trying to coax me again?"

Liu Yifei is not so easy to fool.

"How about tomorrow? Or any of these days is fine. Is it convenient for your crew?"

Zhou Qing had already made a decision and asked Liu Yifei seriously.

By the time I start preparing for the new play, I will definitely not have time.

So before that, why not go to the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew to see Liu Yifei.

After the girl came back from the show, I started to concentrate on preparing for the next play.

Well, that's it.

"Really? You wouldn't lie to me, would you?"

Liu Yifei was immediately excited.

"Of course it's true. Please confirm the time with your crew."

Zhou Qing said to Liu Yifei.

"Wait for my news!"

Liu Yifei said happily.

"Director Li, our crew is now open to visitors, right?"

Liu Yifei found director Li Guoli as soon as possible and confirmed with him.

"Yifei, the crew is now only open to media visits, and private visits will be open for a while."

Li Guoli gave such an answer.

"Huh? That's it."

Liu Yifei's face couldn't help but fall.

She only knew that the crew was open to visitors, but she didn't understand in depth that it was not open to all sets.

"Do you have any friends who want to visit the set? You can ask them to wait patiently for two days. The filming schedule is urgent right now."

This is how Li Guoli explained to Liu Yifei.

"Director Li, can't you be flexible? My friend is only free these few days. He will be too busy to come over in a while."

Liu Yifei started to persuade her with both soft and hard tactics.

"Is your friend that busy?"

Li Guoli shook his head and chuckled.

"Yes, Director Li, he is a director just like you."

"Director? The friend you're talking about is a director? Who is he?"

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a colleague, and Li Guoli's interest was aroused.

"Director Zhou Qing."

"Director Zhou?"

Li Guoli was stunned.
