Chapter 132 Director Zhou made history with the premiere of "Crazy Stone"
"Congratulations, Director Zhou, congratulations on becoming a Cannes jury member!"
On the set, Feng Yuanzheng sent a congratulatory message to Zhou Qing as soon as possible.
When looking at Zhou Qing, there was nothing but admiration in their eyes. This young director was so fierce.
Becoming a Cannes jury member at the age of 21 is something that can go down in the history of Chinese entertainment!
This is especially true for a college student who has become a Cannes jury member.
"Cannes jury? That's incredible, Director Zhou. I've never seen anyone achieve such an achievement."
Jiang Wenli also exclaimed in amazement, impressed by Zhou Qing's impressive fighting record.
That's Cannes.
It is one of the top film festivals in the world and an art palace that is coveted and admired by filmmakers all over the world.
They have a very high status in the global entertainment industry.
How many filmmakers are not qualified to be a judge in their entire life, the value of this title is simply too high to be reached.
The results of it?
Director Zhou became the director before he even graduated.
One word, cow.
Apart from this word, Jiang Wenli could not think of any other more appropriate words to describe her mood.
As for Wang Jinsong on the side, after being surprised, he was extremely excited.
Zhou Qing is his student. The greater Zhou Qing's achievements, the more proud he will be!
In fact, it's not just Wang Jinsong, the entire Beijing Film Academy is like this.
Wang Jinsong believed that at this moment, Dean Zhang Huijun and other school leaders must be as happy as he is.
But Zhou Qing was indeed exaggerating.
He became a Cannes jury member when he was only a junior in college, which is unprecedented in the entire history of Chinese entertainment.
Student Zhou Qing has made history!
Brother Hu didn't know what to say at all.
He just stared at Zhou Qing blankly, feeling extremely complicated inside.
He and Zhou Qing are of the same generation.
Strictly speaking, Zhou Qing is even one level lower than himself.
As a result, the achievements they have made are beyond the reach of Brother Hu even if he climbs up the stairs and onto the roof.
His TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" became a huge hit and he became a popular first-tier actor, attracting many people's attention.
Brother Hu was indeed a little bit arrogant in the past.
But now in front of Zhou Qing, what does it mean?
Not worth mentioning at all!
"Thank you, thank you everyone."
Zhou Qing did not show off, at least not on his face, although he was secretly happy in his heart.
I can only say that this invitation from Cannes has really raised its status.
After the fun, the shooting continued.
The school scenes have now reached their final scene, which is also the climax of the entire movie.
Although Lu Yao was constantly distracted by family matters and had friction and conflicts with her parents and teachers, everything passed in the end.
With the support of her parents, brother and teachers, Lu Yao embarked on the path of music.
And now, the most critical moment has arrived.
She received an interview at the music school she longed for.
Success or failure depends on this.
"Every unit prepares!"
"start!"
Teacher Wang Jinsong, who was accompanying Lu Yao on the stage, immediately started playing the piano.
Lu Yao sang with the accompaniment of her teacher.
However, due to her mentality, she did not perform well.
If things continue like this, there's no way Lu Yao will pass the interview.
"Sorry, my bad, I played it wrong just now."
The clever teacher Wang deliberately played a few wrong syllables.
This way they can start over and give Lu Yao a chance to start over.
But will Lu Yao's psychological problems be so easy to overcome?
Wang Jinsong didn't know, but he was worried about Lu Yao.
"Teacher Wang's acting skills are really amazing."
Zhou Qing behind the monitor couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
Wang Jinsong portrayed the expression of pretending to be nonchalant but unable to stop worrying very vividly.
He is worthy of being the leader in the field of mental illness.
The business level is indeed excellent.
So can Lu Yao perform well?
The performance should have been bad, but at the critical moment, Lu Yao's parents and brother came to the scene to cheer Lu Yao up.
Seeing the appearance of her family, Lu Yao's nervous heart calmed down unprecedentedly, and her face was full of confidence.
"Crack!"
"Shu Chang, you performed well."
Zhou Qing nodded to Shu Chang approvingly.
Shu Chang couldn't help but smile. It was indeed something to be proud of to be praised by a great director like Director Zhou.
As of now, all the scenes in the school have been filmed.
The shooting progress is equivalent to two-thirds completed.
The only problem is that plans cannot keep up with changes, and the actual shooting progress is now two days behind the schedule.
Fortunately, the remaining scenes basically take place at Lu Yao's home and on the fishing boat at the beach.
There are only a few filming locations and the scenes are relatively concentrated, so shooting is not difficult.
However, it seems unlikely that the filming will be completed before May.
At least it will take two days in May.
If the remaining scenes can be completed according to the schedule, "The Hearing Girl" will be wrapped on May 3rd.
No, it's May 4th.
Because on May 1st, Zhou Qing had to attend the premiere of "Crazy Stone".
This is the first movie produced exclusively by Zhou Qing, so Zhou Qing takes it very seriously.
But this means that Cannes is a little rushed.
The opening time has been announced long ago, it is on the 11th.
Normally, the jury would arrive some time in advance, so Zhou Qing could only go there at the right time.
Fortunately, it didn't delay anything.
After all, the real film awards will take place after the opening ceremony.
Before, it was just all kinds of messy things.
Zhou Qing has already reported to the organizing committee, and everything is under control.
"Attention all units!"
"start!"
The location was changed to an ordinary house and filming continued.
Lu Yao sat on the sofa reading a book while her mother was packing things.
But because the deaf-mute can't hear, the noise is very loud.
Lu Yao was very annoyed, so she had to take out her headphones and put them on to cover up the "noise" by listening to music.
"Take off your headphones, you are being rude."
But after seeing this scene, Mother Lu felt offended and kept making gestures to Lu Yao.
I have to say that Jiang Wenli's sign language is very proficient and looks very "professional", no different from a real deaf-mute person.
"It's rude of you to make so much noise!"
Shu Chang was very unhappy and also used sign language.
"Crack!"
"Pass!" This scene at home was very interesting.
Because except for the heroine Lu Yao, his parents and brother are all deaf and dumb.
The family communicated entirely through sign language, and the filming scene was unusually quiet, feeling like they were shooting a silent movie.
"Qingzi, you must come to the premiere. Even though you didn't direct this movie, it's still yours."
Ning Hao has called out to Zhou Qing more than once.
Especially as the release date approached, Ning Hao kept greeting Zhou Qing.
As if he was afraid that Zhou Qing would stand him up.
There was no way. After all, it was Ning Hao's first movie, and Zhou Qing could still understand Ning Hao's feelings.
"Don't worry, I said I would go, and I will definitely go."
Zhou Qing gave an affirmative answer.
"I'm going to attend the premiere of Crazy Stone. The crew has a day off today."
On May 5, the day of the premiere of Stone, Zhou Qing happily gave the crew a day off.
"Crazy Stone? The movie produced by your studio?"
Wang Jinsong asked a follow-up question. Naturally, he had been paying attention to this movie for a long time.
After all, Zhou Qing did promote it, and Ning Hao also used Zhou Qing's name to promote it all day long, so it was hard not to pay attention.
"There's nothing else to do anyway, so I might as well go and show my support."
After receiving a positive answer, Wang Jinsong made such a decision.
This is an exclusive work produced by his students. As a teacher, Wang Jinsong feels that he should support it.
"And I can watch Director Zhou's movie for free. This is a good opportunity that I can't miss."
Brother Hu also immediately said with great interest.
What harm can there be in supporting Director Zhou's movies?
What's more, Brother Hu is indeed very curious and looking forward to what kind of movie Director Zhou will choose.
It can't be any worse, right?
All I can say is that the two words "Zhou Qing" have indeed raised the public's expectations for "Crazy Stone".
"Let's go together. Lao Hu is right. I have long wanted to see what this movie is like."
Huang Bo said not wanting to be outdone.
Zhou Qing is his boss, so Huang Bo has to support him even more.
As for the other main creators, except Feng Yuanzheng and Jiang Wenli who did not plan to go, Shu Chang and Zhou Yang also agreed.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn't say anything more. He simply took the crew's car and drove everyone over in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
"Congratulations on the premiere, brother!"
Zhou Qing greeted Ning Hao with a smile.
"You're finally here."
When Ning Hao saw Zhou Qing, he finally felt relieved.
In any case, with a great star like Zhou Qing in charge of the premiere of "Crazy Stone", the level and quality of the show will be raised by more than three levels.
"Director Zhou, it's Director Zhou!"
"Director Zhou is here as expected!"
Both the main creators of the "Stone" crew and the guests who came to support "Stone" were all excited.
No, it should be said that I was very excited.
It is definitely rare for a low-budget movie directed by a new director to have a big name like Director Zhou to lead the charge.
I can only say that this wave came at the right time!
In fact, many people come here for this purpose.
After all, this is Director Zhou’s exclusive work, and Director Zhou has spared no effort to help promote it.
Then it is very likely that the other party will attend the premiere of "Stone".
If I go to show my support, I might have a chance to meet Director Zhou!
Those who thought so were actually right.
"Director Zhou."
"Director Zhou."
Suddenly, the style of the premiere of "Stone" changed, and the core of the whole event changed.
It’s no longer Ning Hao the director, nor Yan Wang the leading actor, but Zhou Qing the producer!
"That's good. Now that Director Zhou is here, there's nothing left for us to do."
Sun Honglei couldn't help but complain in front of Ning Hao.
That’s right. As soon as Director Zhou arrived, no one paid any attention to them.
It would be a lie for Ning Hao to say that he didn't feel bad about it. After all, this was a movie he had put a lot of effort into making.
But it was ignored by so many people.
Everyone only has Qingzi in their eyes.
Although Ning Hao also understood this situation, it was true that he was holding back a lot of energy.
Now you are all coming for Qingzi, right? It doesn’t matter.
When you walk into the theater because of Aoko, you will find out how good this movie is!
You will find that as a director, he is not to be underestimated.
As for now, we can only let Qingzi's light attract a wave of people.
Although this premiere attracted a lot of people because Zhou Qing was the producer.
But compared with the premieres of "Departures" and "La La Land", it is still a lot more shabby.
After all, this was not directed by Zhou Qing.
But even so, for a small-scale movie like "Crazy Stone", it is already considered grand.
"Come on, let's go inside."
After dealing with all those miscellaneous matters outside, Ning Hao personally took Zhou Qing into the cinema.
The best positions are reserved for Zhou Qing.
Then the lights turned off and the movie officially began to play.
Whether it is the class teacher Wang Jinsong, Huang Bo or Hu Geshu, they all sing well.
All the people brought by Zhou Qing were very curious about what the movie was like.
Being so highly regarded by Zhou Qing.
The first thing is that Sun Honglei goes to the hospital for treatment. The movie uses only a few shots to explain to everyone that the protagonist Bao Shihong has an unspeakable illness.
But then the camera switched to show a scene where a gangster flirted with a beautiful woman on the cable car.
Then another handicraft factory went bankrupt, and Wang Xun came on the scene and planned to buy it.
Then, Dao Ge and his gang of thieves disguised themselves as a moving company and blatantly stole things.
It can be said that these four scenes have no connection at all. There are so many characters appearing in just five minutes that it is dizzying to see that the brain can hardly react.
It's even hard to tell which of these people are the protagonists and which are the supporting roles.
I'm also a little confused about the plot of this movie and what story it's trying to tell.
However this is just the beginning.
As the camera continues to move forward, several lines of the film slowly converge together, and the film becomes truly exciting.
It was as if an invisible hand grabbed everyone's heart.
There are also various hilarious jokes mixed in with the wonderful story.
It's so hilarious.
"Hahaha!"
The laughter in the theater never stopped from beginning to end.
Especially at the end, when the arrogant "master" found out that he had actually killed his employer, he angrily cursed "I'll kill you", which almost made everyone laugh.
Wow!
When the movie ended, there was warm applause in the theater.
"Excellent, absolutely wonderful, this is definitely the best movie I have seen this year."
"It's very Guy Ritchie-esque, with multiple narrative lines, complicated but not chaotic, and I can't stop reading it."
"I didn't have much hope. I came here for Director Zhou, but I didn't expect it to be a pleasant surprise."
"It's worthy of being a movie produced by Director Zhou. It's great, so great!"
Everyone was still discussing the film with great interest and could not help but rave about it. They all gave high praise to "Crazy Stone".
