Chapter 150 Director Zhou doesn't like the Golden Rooster Awards? Zhou Qing's new film sets off the entertainment industry
"Don't worry about it. This time I'm going to shoot a costume Kung Fu movie. There are no roles suitable for you two."
Zhou Qing did not hide anything and told the truth to Huang Bo and the others.
Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang both showed expressions of regret and sorrow.
Director Zhou’s car couldn’t get up again.
However, the two also understood that due to their own image problems, they were indeed unable to handle costume kung fu films.
This is also something that can't be helped.
It’s easier to say what Wang Baoqiang said. After all, he has excellent kung fu skills, so he can be in a kung fu movie.
But the prerequisite is that it has to be a fashion kung fu film. Zhou Qing couldn't imagine what it would look like if Wang Baoqiang were to shoot a costume drama with that look.
As for Huang Bo, there is no need to mention him. He doesn't even know Kung Fu.
"Your style has really changed a lot."
Huang Bo could only complain helplessly.
“Do you know what the greatest pleasure of being a director is? It’s being able to try out a variety of different styles.”
Zhou Qing acted cool in front of Huang Bo.
"The great director is willful."
Huang Bo sighed again and again.
For most directors, they dare not change their style easily.
First of all, no director is omnipotent. They are only good at one field and one style, so they may not be able to switch tracks.
Secondly, sometimes even if the director can handle it well, the audience may not buy it.
Therefore, changing style is likely to mean failure.
Of course, great directors like Zhou Qing and Zhang Guoshi are definitely not included in this list.
The box office appeal of such a great director is beyond the reach of ordinary directors.
"You two should take the movies you want to take. There's no need to keep staring at me. Not all of my movies may be suitable for you."
"You should have a lot of film contracts during this period, right?"
Zhou Qing ignored Huang Bo's sigh, glanced at Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang and asked.
Both of them are more or less celebrities now.
Huang Bo starred in "127" Hours, played a supporting role in "The Funeral Director", and played an important supporting role in "The Hearing Girl".
These three films have won both awards and box office success, and have made their presence felt in the industry.
Although Huang Bo cannot be considered very famous now, he is still at the end of the second-tier list and is better than third-tier actors.
Between the second and third tier.
Wang Baoqiang has fewer works, but the box office of "A World Without Thieves" has exceeded 100 million!
It's already considered a little famous.
There is no doubt that the play can be filmed, it just depends on whether these two are willing to act.
"If you say so, there are indeed a few plays that have found me. Since I have no role in your play, you might as well give me some advice."
As expected, Huang Bo immediately said this to Zhou Qing upon hearing this.
"What kind of plays are there? Tell me about them."
Zhou Qing looked at Huang Bo curiously and asked.
Now that Huang Bo's life trajectory has been completely changed by himself, Zhou Qing really wants to know what deviations will appear in the movies shot by Huang Bo.
"One is "The Glorious Fury", directed by Cao Baoping."
"There is also a movie called "Big Movie: Billions", which is a comedy, directed by Liu Xiaoguang and starring Zeng Zhiwei."
Huang Bo briefly introduced to Zhou Qing the two film contracts that he was more optimistic about.
Zhou Qing was delighted when he heard it.
This world is really too small, isn't it?
Isn’t Cao Baoping also a director from Beijing Film Academy?
He is a famous director in the future. Even now, he is still teaching at the Beijing Film Academy.
Of course, nowadays, it is not well-known yet.
In fact, "Glorious Fury" is only Cao Baoping's second novel.
The other party’s debut work, “Absolute Feeling”, didn’t make any splash at all.
However, the script of "Glory and Fury" is really good and obviously impressed Huang Bo.
So what about "The Big Movie: Billions"?
Frankly speaking, the script is indeed quite bad, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "bad".
It's totally incomparable to "The Glory and the Fury", but this movie has obviously better market potential.
So Huang Bo was also a little conflicted.
"Well, of these two movies, 'Big Movie: Billions' has great potential at the box office. The box office of this movie shouldn't be too low."
If I remember correctly, the box office of "Big Movie: Billions" reached 1800 million, which is nearly million.
Don’t underestimate 20 million. In fact, even in the past two years, it is still a high box office.
Otherwise, why would "The Big Movie: Billions" have a sequel?
It must be a big profit.
"But in terms of word of mouth, The Glory of Fury is definitely better. I still believe in the level of Mr. Cao Baoping."
"If I were you, I would definitely take on Glory and Fury. You know, an actor's reputation is easy to lose, but it's hard to build it up again."
Zhou Qing seriously analyzed the pros and cons to Huang Bo.
You know, the reputation of the "Big Movie" series is terrible!
From a long-term perspective, how much of a benefit would starring in a movie with a box office of 20 million bring to you?
After all, it’s impossible for Huang Bo to get a share of the box office revenue, right?
What's more, the movies Huang Bo has starred in so far, except for "The World", have all been huge box office hits.
There is even less necessity for this.
Huang Bo also fell into deep thought after hearing this, and quickly nodded.
"You're right Qingzi, I was narrow-minded before."
Huang Bo had obviously made a decision.
"What about you, Baoqiang?"
Zhou Qing turned his gaze to Wang Baoqiang again.
"There were a few people who approached me, but my agent said they were unreliable and asked me to wait."
Wang Baoqiang gave this answer.
Zhou Qing just nodded and didn't say much.
It doesn’t really matter whether Wang Baoqiang takes any roles now, or what kind of roles he takes.
He just needs to not miss "Soldier Assault".
And considering the time, "Soldier Assault" should start filming soon.
Because of the need for comprehensive optimization, Zhou Qing had to write the script of Painted Skin a little slower.
After all, there are indeed many areas that need improvement.
The rating on a certain platform is less than 7 points, which is enough to show that there are indeed many shortcomings in the script.
For example, in a pure "monster movie", the appearance of such an incongruous existence as the "demon exorcist" is really too incongruous.
Is the monster catcher so low-level? Why was there a demon hunter inserted in? This is clearly a story about catching monsters. Of course, it’s not just the script. The original movie also had some problems in editing and shooting.
But it will definitely not happen here with Zhou Qing.
On October 10, the shortlist for this year's Golden Rooster Awards was announced, which attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone was surprised to find that "La La Land", which won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director in Venice, was not on the shortlist.
This film, which has received much attention from the industry, did not even receive any nominations.
Isn't this a bit too dramatic?
In any case, this is also a work that won the Silver Lion in Venice.
Although the Golden Rooster Awards have always been unconventional, it would not be so extreme that they would not even give a nomination.
Even considering the nature of the Golden Rooster Awards, it is a bit too outrageous.
Even if you give it a few nominations like you did before, it would be fine if you don't win any awards in the end.
Is the Golden Rooster Award really so awesome that the Venice Film Festival winning works are not even eligible for a nomination?
The topic soon became a hot topic in the circle.
However, the media soon uncovered the truth, and it was really a bit of a mistake to blame the Golden Rooster Awards this time.
It’s not that the Golden Rooster Awards don’t give nominations, but that director Zhou Qing didn’t even sign up for the Golden Rooster Awards!
"The Venice Film Festival winner La La Land was absent from the Golden Rooster Awards. Was it intentional or unintentional? Does director Zhou Qing look down on the Golden Rooster Awards?"
"After winning the three major European awards in a row, Director Zhou Qing no longer cares about the Golden Rooster Award?"
"The film La La Land, which has attracted much attention in the industry, did not register for the Golden Rooster Awards, and the reasons behind this have sparked speculation from all sides."
People in the industry are discussing why "La La Land" was absent from the Golden Rooster Awards.
Some media outlets were relatively restrained in their comments, but the general public were not so polite.
There are all kinds of ridicule and sarcasm towards the Golden Rooster Awards.
Why not sign up?
Don’t you have a score for the Golden Rooster Awards?
Director Zhou has been fooled by the Golden Rooster Awards for two films in a row. Is he really going to run over and try to get a cold shoulder?
This movie won the three major European awards, but was neglected at the Golden Rooster Awards!
"127 Hours" at least won the Best Screenplay Award as a consolation, but "Departures" won nothing.
In this case, is it strange that Director Zhou was absent from the Golden Rooster Awards?
Absence is right!
Well done!
Many media outlets contacted Zhou Qing for interviews.
Zhou Qing didn't intend to pay attention to it at first, but later he chose to accept it.
There is no other reason. Zhou Qing cannot be accused of looking down on the Golden Rooster Awards.
There are some things that everyone can guess even if he did do them, but he absolutely cannot admit them.
"Director Zhou, La La Land didn't register for this year's Golden Rooster Awards. What's the reason? Is it like everyone is saying that you don't care about the Golden Rooster Awards?"
Zhou Qing accepted an interview with Jiulang Entertainment at an appropriate time.
"I didn't want to take up public resources or everyone's precious time, but these rumors kept getting more and more intense, so I felt I had to clarify it."
"It is completely nonsense to say that I look down on the Golden Rooster Awards. It is slander and malicious speculation against me. I actually attach great importance to and respect the Golden Rooster Awards."
"The reason I didn't sign up for this year's Golden Rooster Awards is simply because I was too busy."
"As everyone knows, I am still a student and have not graduated yet. I have to balance my studies and career, and I really can't do it in two places."
"And during this period I have been writing scripts and conceiving new movies, so it is inevitable that I have not taken care of some things."
Zhou Qing spoke seriously in front of the camera and also took the opportunity to hype up the popularity of "Painted Skin" in advance.
It's like killing two birds with one stone, it's perfect.
new movie?
The reporters from Jiulang Entertainment were also very excited.
This is a big news. Director Zhou has actually started preparing for a new movie?
This is undoubtedly breaking news for the entire entertainment industry.
"Can you tell us what the subject of Director Zhou's new movie is? Has the script been written?"
The reporters from Jiulang Entertainment had no time to care about the Golden Rooster Awards and immediately started interviewing Zhou Qing about his new movie.
"The script is still in the writing stage and has not been completed. I can only tell you that this is a commercial film. For follow-up news, please follow my studio."
Zhou Qing also knows how to hype things up. Although the hunger marketing tactic is not authentic, its effect is indeed amazing.
The more mysterious you keep it at this time, the more discussion you can arouse and the more heat you can stir up, right?
"Director Zhou Qing denied in an interview that he looked down upon the Golden Rooster Awards, saying that he forgot to sign up because he was too busy with work."
"Director Zhou Qing revealed that he is writing a new movie script, but refused to reveal relevant details, only saying that it is a commercial film."
"Mainland director Zhou Qing is about to start a new film. The script is currently being developed and the new film has sparked a lot of speculation."
"After the great success of his previous four art films, Director Zhou has entered the field of commercial films for the first time."
"Director Zhou Qing's new film is going to be a commercial film. Will it be as successful as his art films?"
The related reports flowed out quickly, like a boulder thrown into calm waters.
It immediately caused ripples throughout the entire domestic entertainment industry.
Everyone was alarmed.
Director Zhou is actually going to make a new film again!
Director Zhou’s luxury train is finally about to depart again!
I don't know how many actors were getting excited and couldn't keep calm at all.
This is Director Zhou’s movie!
It is undoubtedly the top film project in the entire industry.
What's more important?
Director Zhou’s new film this time is not an art film, but a pure commercial film.
This makes people look forward to it even more and more.
Director Zhou’s art films can all achieve explosive box office results. If it were a commercial film, it would be unimaginable.
I'm afraid we have to go straight for the box office champion?
Can’t miss it, can’t miss it!
What?
News that Director Zhou doesn't think highly of the Golden Rooster Awards?
Who still cares about the Golden Rooster Awards? Now everyone is racking their brains to know whether Zhou Qing’s new film is good or not.
"Director Zhou is finally going to release a new film. This time, I can't miss it no matter what!"
Fan Bingbing on the set of "The Warring States" had a fiery look in his eyes and couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.
Director Zhou hasn’t even finished writing the script yet, so it will definitely take several months to start filming. I should be able to catch up, right?
"Is Director Zhou going to start making commercial films too? I'm really looking forward to it."
Liu Dehua looked calm on the surface, but his heart was also in turmoil.
Director Zhou seems to have never been fond of using Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. I don’t know if I will have a chance this time.
"Director Zhou is releasing a new film? Why at this time!"
Zhou Xun was secretly a little anxious.
You know, "Night Banquet" hasn't started filming yet, I don't know if I can catch up.
Zhou Xun couldn't hold back any longer and immediately called Zhou Qing.
Not only Zhou Xun, but also Shuang Bing, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and other big stars who were close to Zhou Qing all contacted Zhou Qing as soon as possible.
It’s just a pity that I can’t contact Zhou Qing herself at all.
Zhou Qing's assistant answered the phone.
The other party politely informed Director Zhou that he was currently writing the script and that the studio would announce all other information in a timely manner.
