Chapter 221: Han 3ping came to arrange a blockbuster, Director Zhou’s new film plan, developing &quo

"Liu Dehua's latest masterpiece, Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon, is about to be released, and Liu Dehua and other main creators are promoting it in a grand manner."

"The screening of Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon was held, and the audience applauded continuously. The plot is exciting and fascinating."

"'Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon', directed by renowned director Li Rengang and starring Liu Dehua, will be released next month."

In addition to "The Forbidden Kingdom", there is another blockbuster released in early April:
"Resurrection of the Dragon" co-starred by Liu Dehua and Sammo Hung.

Since entering March, the movie has also started an extremely grand promotion.

"Director Zhou."

Liu Dehua had a good relationship with Zhou Qing and called Zhou Qing personally.

Invite Zhou Qing to attend the premiere of "Resurrection of the Dragon" held at the end of March.

"Don't worry, Brother Hua, I will definitely be there."

Zhou Qing didn't hesitate too much and agreed directly.

You should know that "Resurrection of the Dragon" is also a blockbuster invested by China Film Group. Han Sanping had already greeted Zhou Qing long before Andy Lau.

Besides, Zhou Qing and Liu Dehua have a pretty good relationship, and Liu Dehua has always been very supportive of Zhou Qing.

Whenever Liu Dehua is free, he will definitely come to support Zhou Qing at various premieres or celebration banquets.

It was a rare occasion that Liu Dehua called him, so of course Zhou Qing had to go and show his support.

"See you then. Our entire crew is waiting for Director Zhou to come."

Hua Zi was very happy to get Zhou Qing's promise.

"The TV series "Lush", produced exclusively by Zhou Qing Studio and directed by Jiang Wei, is currently casting in a low-key manner."

"The large-scale suspenseful spy war TV series "Hidden" has been approved, and the series is exclusively produced by Zhou Qing Studio."

"Zhou Qing Studio entered the TV drama field for the first time, and the spy drama "Live" attracted attention."

"The Hidden" ultimately did not escape the media's sharp eyes. Once it was exposed, it immediately attracted widespread attention from all parties.

There is no other reason, this TV series is also produced exclusively by Zhou Qing Studio!
Nowadays, in the entire entertainment industry, the words "Zhou Qing" are a golden signboard.

As long as you hang up this golden sign, it will be hard not to attract attention.

"Director Zhou's movie was going well, why did he suddenly step into the field of TV dramas?"

"How come Director Zhou has come up with another TV series without any fanfare?"

Many people's first reaction is surprise and wonder.

After all, there is a very obvious chain of contempt in the film and television circles these days.

All kinds of people in the film industry, whether they are actors or directors, have a higher status than those in TV dramas.

Especially someone like Zhou Qing, who is a top boss in the film industry. Who would have thought that he would turn around and tinker with TV dramas?
"Why are you working on TV series instead of movies?"

Even Han Sanping couldn't help but call and inquire about the situation.

There was a hint of disdain in his words.

In the opinion of the Third Master, Zhou Qing is definitely not doing his job properly.

As a top director, isn't it a waste of time for you to make a TV series? Wouldn't it be better to use that time to make a couple of blockbuster movies?
"Even you are alarmed, Mr. Han. I was just doing it casually."

Zhou Qing couldn't help feeling speechless. He really didn't expect Han Sanping to call him.

"You're a big movie director, what's the point of TV series? If you want to make something, make a blockbuster!"

"Now You See Me has been off the screen for over a month now. Isn't it time for you to prepare a new movie?"

Han Sanping began to urge Zhou Qing.

Since you have time to watch TV series, you should not miss out on movies.

"Director Han, a new movie needs inspiration. I have been thinking about it recently."

Zhou Qing said to Han Sanping.

This is not just to please Han Sanping. During this period of rest and recuperation, Zhou Qing also thought about the issue of the new film.

Zhou Qing has not yet decided which film to plagiarize.

But there is one thing Zhou Qing has decided.

This time I won’t be making a commercial film, but an award-winning film!

Having already enjoyed two consecutive commercial blockbusters and stole the limelight, it is time to change track and return to the field of award-winning films.

"That's right. Think carefully and write the script as soon as possible. Young people need to be diligent."

Han Sanping urged Zhou Qing for a while before ending the call.

Compared to Han Sanping, some TV drama producers like Tang Ren, Zhou Yi, etc., did not look very happy.

There are even some concerns.

As a top film director, why are you trying to get involved in the TV drama industry?

Why don't you just focus on making your movie?

It would be fine if Director Zhou was just playing around with it, but if he wants to officially enter the TV drama industry with "The Disguiser" as a base, then that is not good news.

Although the gameplay of TV series and movies is different, movie bosses may not be able to handle TV series.

But Zhou Qing's name is so famous, who can ignore it?
As for the actors, they didn't care about all that. They were just excited.

No matter what this TV series is like, since it bears the stamp of Director Zhou, it must be good!

For a time, many people became active again, and "Live" immediately became one of the most watched TV drama projects in the industry.

Just like his previous exclusive works, many people reported the news to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing handled this in the same way, asking the studio to issue a statement that all casting work would be handled by director Jiang Wei.

"Director Zhou, Assistant Director Chen Guo is here to visit by appointment."

Just after communicating with Director Chen, the assistant knocked on Zhou Qing's office door and brought this news.

Deputy Chen Guo?
Zhou Qing just thought about it and suddenly reacted.

Isn’t this the screenwriter and director of the classic spy movie “The Sound of Wind”?

Then there is no doubt that the purpose of Vice President Chen Guo’s visit is naturally to obtain the adaptation rights of the novel "The Sound of Wind".

Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile. Another tool was delivered to his door.

Good thing, good thing!
"Tomorrow morning."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and made this decision.

"Director Zhou, I've long heard of your great name."

"Director Chen, you're welcome."

At ten o'clock the next morning, Deputy Chen Guo, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses and looked a bit gentle, came to the door on time.

Zhou Qing received the other party in the reception room.

The two sides exchanged friendly handshakes, greetings and business boasting, and the atmosphere on the scene was very harmonious and warm.

"Director Zhou, I'm here for no reason. I recently read a very wonderful novel and loved it so much that I wanted to adapt it into a movie."

"Who knew that after contacting the novel's author, I found out that the film and television adaptation rights of the novel had already been obtained by you, Director Zhou."

After the polite exchanges, Deputy Chen Guo pushed his glasses and explained his purpose to Zhou Qing.

"I wonder which novel Director Chen is talking about?"

Zhou Qing looked calm, looking at Chen Guofu with a knowing look. "Teacher Mai's The Sound of Wind."

Deputy Chen Guo did not keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly to Zhou Qing.

"So it's The Sound of Wind. Director Chen is right. This novel is indeed very exciting."

Zhou Qing then nodded pretentiously.

"Yes, it's the movie The Sound of Wind. It seems Director Zhou likes it very much as well."

Deputy Chen Guo smiled and chatted with Zhou Qing about the novel "The Sound of Wind".

"Although I'm a little embarrassed to ask, I really like this novel. I wonder if Director Zhou can give me the adaptation rights?"

"Director Zhou, rest assured. I will never let you suffer any loss. I am willing to pay a premium for the adaptation rights regardless of how much you paid for them."

When the time was right, Deputy Chen Guo carefully made this request to Zhou Qing.

"It's not about money. I just want to ask Director Chen, as a director, why should I buy the adaptation rights of The Sound of Wind?"

Zhou Qing waved his hand and smiled gently.

This one question left Deputy Chen Guo speechless and unable to speak.

you still need to ask?

The director bought the adaptation rights, didn’t he just do the adaptation?
Besides, every movie Director Zhou has made since his debut has been a huge hit, and his ability to make money is even not inferior to Huayi. Does he just need a little money from you?
What a joke!
"I know, I understand. I'm a director too. It seems that Director Zhou wants to bring The Sound of Wind to the big screen just like I do."

Deputy Chen Guo nodded in agreement with Zhou Qing while carefully choosing his words to communicate with Zhou Qing.

That novel was very much to Chen Guofu's liking, and he would not give up easily.

A "tug of war" began, and Zhou Qing and Deputy Minister Chen Guo started a negotiation.

Finally, seeing that the time was right, Zhou Qing reluctantly reached an agreement with Chen Guofu: the two sides would jointly develop "The Sound of Wind".

The two parties here refer to Zhou Qing Studio and Huayi.

Because now that Chen Guofu has signed a contract with Huayi, it is impossible for him to take on external films and he can only produce films for Huayi.

Therefore, it is not realistic for Zhou Qing to produce the product exclusively like other existing projects.

If that were the case, Deputy Chen Guo would definitely choose to give up.

The project of "The Sound of Wind" would eventually die in the womb, after all, Zhou Qing himself had no intention of making this movie.

Instead of wasting it like this, it would be better to develop it jointly with Huayi.

Of course, even if it is jointly developed with Huayi, Zhou Qing Studio is the main controller, there is no doubt about that.

"Director Zhou, please see if there is a day that is convenient for you these few days. I will call President Wang and we can meet together to finalize this project."

After a brief discussion on the relevant matters, Deputy Chen Guo said this to Zhou Qing with a serious face.

Although he holds a high position in Huayi and is the film director, matters like this ultimately have to be decided by the big and small Wangs.

"no problem."

Zhou Qing naturally wouldn't have any objection.

The two sides shook hands in friendship, and Deputy Minister Chen Guo left contentedly.

Although we failed to obtain the copyright of "The Sound of Wind" as we wished this time, we have to say that things are more optimistic than we imagined.

Not only could he still adapt "The Sound of Wind", he also successfully got Zhou Qing on board!
"Director Zhou wants to jointly develop with Huayi? Okay, that's great!"

When Wang Zhongjun heard the news from Deputy Chen Guo, his eyes lit up.

Director Chen handled this matter so beautifully.

You have to know how many times Huayi wanted to get on Zhou Qing's car, but the other party's car was too difficult to get in, and Huayi could never get in.

Who could have thought that there would be such an unexpected surprise this time?
I originally wanted to discuss the adaptation rights of "The Sound of Wind", but I didn't expect to drag Director Zhou into the conversation as well.

Well done!

Both the big king and the little king were very satisfied.

The two Wangs didn't care that Zhou Qing was in charge of "The Sound of Wind".

The really crucial thing is that Huayi and Director Zhou finally got in touch.

This is more important than anything else.

"Director Zhou!"

"Boss Wang, Director Chen!"

On March 3, Zhou Qing arrived at Huayi as scheduled, and Wang Zhongjun and Chen Guofu came out to greet him in person.

"Is that Director Zhou?"

"Why did Director Zhou come to our Huayi?"

"Does Director Zhou have a new movie?"

Seeing Zhou Qing chatting and laughing with their boss, all the artists, big and small, at Huayi couldn't remain calm.

This is the top director in the domestic entertainment industry.

Whether he can surpass Master Zhang remains to be discussed, but the fact that he has surpassed Director Feng and Director Chen is beyond doubt.

For a top director like this, even if a little bit of resources slips out of his fingers, it would be enough to make countless people scramble for it!
No one expected that such a great director would come to Huayi!
"Director Zhou, why are you here?"

Others didn't dare to say hello to Zhou Qing, but Zhou Xun, the top actress of Huayi and an old acquaintance who had acted in one of Zhou Qing's movies, had no such concerns. She ran over and chatted with Zhou Qing with a smile.

Others were so envious and jealous when they saw it.

Who doesn’t want to go over and have a chat with Director Zhou like Zhou Xun did?

But the level of most people is simply not enough.

Of course Zhou Xun didn’t chat much with Zhou Qing.

After all, it was obvious that Zhou Qing had something important to discuss with Mr. Wang, so you should have some tact, right?
Zhou Xun simply said hello and then tactfully withdrew.

"Every artist at Huayi dreams of being able to act in Director Zhou's movie."

Wang Zhongjun glanced at his own artists who were watching around him, and smiled at Zhou Qing meaningfully.

"They want to act in every film directed by a famous director."

Zhou Qing also smiled and chatted with Wang Zhongjun in a casual manner.

"Director Zhou, we at Huayi are very happy to work with you on the project 'The Sound of Wind'."

After arriving at Wang Zhongjun's office and exchanging simple pleasantries, they began to formally discuss the matter of "The Sound of Wind".

It took about half an hour in total before the two parties reached a happy cooperation.

Zhou Qing Studio holds a total of 60% of the share of the movie "The Sound of Wind", while Huayi holds a 40% share.

Zhou Qing did not interfere with the adaptation of the novel and the director was left to Chen Guofu.

Simply put, it is the same as film projects such as "Lost on Journey" and "Ip Man".

Zhou Qing only needs to pay the money and doesn't need to worry about anything else.

"Director Zhou, it's a pleasure working with you!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Not only Zhou Qing, but also Wang Zhongjun and Chen Guofu were very satisfied with this result.

Especially Chen Guofu, he originally planned to write and direct this movie, and even had the idea in mind. (End of this chapter)
