Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 97: How could Zhou Xun like you? (First order required)
“The main creators and cast of the movie La La Land are as follows:
Producer: Zhou Qing Studio, China Film Group

Director: Zhou Qing

main character:

Zhou Xiaowen: Zhou Xun
Qin Dynasty: Qin Hao

Quiet: Yan Danchen
Old Sun: Zhang Songwen
Bassist: Chen Kun
……

......"

On March 3, Zhou Qing Studio announced the cast of "La La Land".

It immediately attracted great attention from all parties in the circle.

"She is the heroine indeed!"

It would be a lie for Fan Bingbing to say that he did not feel regretful, it would be a lie for him to say that he was not depressed, and it would be even more of a lie for him to say that he was angry.

In Fan Bingbing's opinion, how is he worse than Zhou Xun?
Why can Zhou Xun play the role that I can’t?

Originally Shuang Bing was ranked behind the four Dan actors. Well, now Zhou Xun is on Director Zhou's express train. Wouldn't the gap be wider?
But the only consolation is that the heroine this time is not Li Bingbing!
What Fan Bingbing didn't know was that Li Bingbing actually had the same idea.

The heroine can be anyone, as long as she is not Fan Bingbing.

"Congratulations, Zhou Xun, you got the female lead role from Director Zhou."

"I told you, this heroine is none other than you. Congratulations!"

"Every time Director Zhou makes a film, it will definitely win the three major European awards. I'm so envious of Zhou Xun."

Zhou Xun was extremely excited.

I don’t know how many people in the circle sent congratulatory messages to Zhou Xun.

Although Zhou Xun is very popular now, she has won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress and was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.

But the European Big Three are also a mountain that cannot be climbed.

If we can make our presence felt among the top three European organizations, or even win an award, that would definitely be a great step forward.

To say that she surpassed Zhang Ziyi among the four leading ladies was indeed a bit short, after all, Zhang Ziyi's performance at that time was indeed too impressive.

If you ignore other movies, just these three movies, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers", are beyond the reach of others.

But there is no problem leaving others behind.

It can be said that Zhou Xun became full of passion all of a sudden.

"Qin Hao! It's Qin Hao again!"

As for Qin Hao, there are countless people who envy, hate and envy him.

Is this guy so favored by Director Zhou?

He was asked to play the leading role in two consecutive movies.

Especially Qin Hao’s classmates from the 96 class of the Central Academy of Drama, they were about to cry with envy.

"Director Zhou, the people from China Film Group are here."

Zhou Qing started to get busy.

In addition to the preparations for "La La Land", there is also the promotion of "Departures".

After all, "Departures" will be released in about a month, so the publicity work really needs to be intensified.

After discussing the next publicity and promotion plan with the people from China Film, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

I'm afraid I'll be very busy in the next month.

"Director Zhou, I'm so sorry, I have to go to film Director Feng's new movie in April, so I may not be able to spare any time for promotion here."

"But I promise that I will fully cooperate with all publicity efforts before that."

"I will definitely attend the premiere of our film 'Departures'."

I talked to the heroine Li Bingbing. She had some difficulties, but her attitude was still positive.

"It doesn't matter. The new play is more important."

Zhou Qing naturally understood this kind of thing.

You can't ask Li Bingbing to delay the filming of "A World Without Thieves" to promote "Departures", right?

Nothing like that.

It was definitely impossible for A World Without Thieves to be completed by the time Funeral Director was released. Li Bingbing even promised to attend the premiere, which actually showed his attitude.

"Director Zhou, I hope you understand."

Li Bingbing was relieved. "Qin Hao, how's the training going?"

Qin Hao, who was undergoing training, was also pulled out by Zhou Qing.

"I'm very good at playing the piano now, Director Zhou. I won't brag to you."

Qin Hao showed off to Zhou Qing.

"Okay, let's see it with our own eyes some other day."

After chatting for a while, they started to get down to business.

In line with China Film's publicity and promotion plan, I went to the Sixth Princess to record an interview program.

"First of all, congratulations to Director Zhou for winning the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival for his film "Departures". Director Zhou is the third person to win this honor after Director Zhang Yimou and Director Xie Fei. I wonder how you feel about this."

“I am very happy to receive this honor, which represents the recognition of me by the Berlin Film Festival.”

“What kind of story does Director Zhou’s “Departures” tell?”

“On the surface, The Funeral Director is about a man’s midlife crisis, but underneath it all is a discussion of life and death.”

"This is Qin Hao's first role in "Departures", right? Director Zhou, what do you think of Qin Hao's performance?"

"Qin Hao is a very talented person. His performance is so natural that it doesn't seem like he's acting. He is just that person."

After a few days of publicity, Liu Dehua, who had coordinated the work at hand, finally arrived.

"Director Zhou, Qin Hao, Bingbing, Danchen!"

Liu Dehua greeted the main creators very familiarly.

"Director Zhou, I have to apologize to you in advance."

After the greetings, Liu Dehua also began to apologize to Zhou Qing, and his reason was the same as Li Bingbing's.

Andy Lau will also be filming "A World Without Thieves" next.

After "Departures", the two will be acting together in "A World Without Thieves".

What else can Zhou Qing do?
All we can do is wish Andy Lau's new movie will be more successful.

On April 4, the much anticipated "A World Without Thieves" held a grand launch conference.

Liu Dehua and Li Bingbing, who had followed Zhou Qing for a few days in promotional activities, said hello to Zhou Qing and joined the crew of "A World Without Thieves".

The same is true for Wang Baoqiang, who Zhou Qing just signed.

Now the leading female and second male actors of "Departures" are all absent.

Director Zhou Qing also has to take care of the preparations for "La La Land". He is really overwhelmed.

"Good boy Aoko, at least give me a supporting role in Departures. You didn't even get a supporting role in La La Land, right?"

Huang Bo came back after filming "The World" and complained to Zhou Qing with a smile.

"Don't tell me you like those supporting roles."

Zhou Qing saw through Huang Bo at a glance.

There really aren’t any decent supporting roles in “La La Land”!
Huang Bo has starred in "127 Hours" and "The World" after all, so he really looks down on that kind of supporting role.

Zhou Qing had no intention of using such a small companion to consume Huang Bo.

"I like the leading role. If Qin Hao can play it, why can't I? I come from a serious band background."

Huang Bo was grinning in front of Zhou Qing again.

"Is Zhou Xun interested in you? Is that convincing?"

Zhou Qing rolled his eyes at this guy.

"That's hard to say. There are people with all kinds of tastes."

Huang Bo was still gasping for breath.

"You can pull him down."

"Haha, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to school first."

After chatting with Zhou Qing for a while, Huang Bo returned to Beijing Film Academy.

Now he is only a few months away from graduation. In addition to catching up on his previous lessons, he also has to prepare for the graduation drama.

It will be busy for a while indeed.

　There will be another update at 8:30 pm, as usual
