Chapter 234: Book a Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award. Once you get on Director Zhou's pira
The school scenes of "Whiplash" have been filmed to an end, and the confrontation between the teacher and the student is about to erupt.
Under the high-pressure training of the perverted teacher Lin, the male protagonist Zhou Ping has gradually developed some mental disorders.
He gave up almost everything, even dumped his girlfriend.
Just because my girlfriend would distract me.
"Women will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword." This joke became a reality for Zhou Ping.
In order to meet Teacher Lin's requirements and to satisfy Teacher Lin, Zhou Ping's entire world was reduced to playing the drums.
However?
During a crucial performance, Zhou Ping was late for a few minutes, and Teacher Lin had to replace him.
How could Zhou Ping possibly endure this?
"Attention all units!"
"start!"
The cameraman immediately followed and aimed at Feng Yuanzheng and Zhou Qing.
"I'm sorry I'm late, but I'm ready to play."
Zhou Qing said to Teacher Lin breathlessly while tidying up his clothes.
"Li Chao will perform this time."
Teacher Lin said to Zhou Ping without any objection.
"You can't let Li Chao go!"
Zhou Ping gritted his teeth and said to Teacher Lin.
In front of Teacher Lin, he was always timid and didn't dare to say no.
He paid so much just for the chance to be on stage.
Now that this opportunity was taken away from him, Zhou Ping finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"What the hell did you tell me?"
Teacher Lin's voice rose several octaves, his eyes widened, and he looked down at Zhou Qing condescendingly.
In the band, Mr. Lin has always been the one who has the final say. He is a complete tyrant and no one dares to challenge his authority.
“This is my seat!”
Zhou Ping fought for himself.
"Wrong, that's my seat, I just lent it to someone else temporarily, at least to someone with drumsticks."
It was only then that Zhou Ping realized that because of his panic, he had left his drumsticks in the rental house.
"I forgot it in the house. I'll go get it now..."
“The band is already preparing.”
"I can use Li Chao's drumsticks."
"Zhou Ping, you have already lost this position."
"Fuck, you can't do this!"
"I can't? When is it your turn to teach me how to do this? You sniveling wimp!"
“I earned this through my own strength.”
"What are you fighting for, you arrogant idiot..."
Zhou Ping and Teacher Lin started arguing fiercely in front of all the band members.
Teacher Lin seemed like a tiger whose butt was touched, and was furious.
Zhou Ping, who had always suffered oppression but endured everything, also exploded at this time.
“Excellent, so wonderful!”
"Two movie stars competing in acting!"
As the executive director, Lu Yang almost couldn't help but slap his thigh and screamed wildly in his heart.
It can be said that I was really impressed by the performance of Zhou Qing and Feng Yuanzheng.
What is a perfect performance?
In Lu Yang's opinion, this was a perfect performance.
Both Zhou Qing and Feng Yuanzheng gave textbook-like acting performances.
"Is this Director Zhou's acting? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
Wang Zhiwen was a little dumbfounded.
Since the filming of "Whiplash" began, everyone on the set has known that Director Zhou's acting skills are superb, but Wang Zhiwen did not expect it to be so superb.
In that acting scene just now, he actually thought Zhou Qing acted better than Feng Yuanzheng. Can you believe it?
It’s no exaggeration to say that Wang Zhiwen feels that Zhou Qing might even be able to win the Best Actor award in one of the three major films!
Judging from the acting skills Zhou Qing just displayed, it is definitely worthy of one of the three best actor awards!
hiss!
This is really a bit heart-stimulating.
You have to know that Feng Yuanzheng is a veteran actor who has been acting for a lifetime!
But what about Director Zhou?
It’s the first screen debut!
First time acting seriously.
Isn't this talent a bit too terrifying?
"Crack!"
Lu Yang was immersed in the performance of the duo, and when he saw that the time was about right, he shouted "cut".
"Director Zhou, your acting is so good. I feel like I am completely overwhelmed by you."
Feng Yuanzheng immediately sighed from the bottom of his heart in front of Zhou Qing.
Not a lie, but a true feeling.
The two of them had their emotions completely outburst just now, and he almost couldn't keep up with Zhou Qing's acting. Can you believe it?
This shows what?
This shows that Zhou Qing’s acting skills are very likely better than his own!
"Teacher Feng, you are exaggerating. I was just being led into the play by you."
Zhou Qing waved his hand and said modestly.
But a hint of pride flashed across his eyes.
It’s really nice to feel like you can fully unleash your acting skills!
If it wasn't for a senior and capable person like Feng Yuanzheng, someone else might not be able to handle it.
"Director Zhou, Crazy Racer has surpassed 100 million yuan at the box office! Congratulations!"
"Yes, Director Zhou, congratulations on the huge success of Crazy Racer!"
"There is no movie produced by Director Zhou that doesn't sell well."
The momentum of "Crazy Racing" is still in full swing and it's extremely fierce.
In just 12 days, the box office broke the million yuan mark.
It can be said that everyone in the circle was stunned.
Over 100 million!
It’s already over 100 million?
In 08, another movie that grossed over million yuan was released.
Although after the first day box office of "Crazy Racing" was released, everyone predicted that it would be no problem for the movie to break 100 million.
But when we saw this day coming, we still couldn't remain calm.
After all, the investment in "Crazy Racing" was only a mere 12 million!
Judging from the cost, "Crazy Racing" is a huge hit.
Director Zhou once again created a miracle of making a small investment into a big one!
Fortunately, when Zhou Qing said at the premiere of "Crazy Racing" that he would guarantee 100 million and strive for 200 million, many people felt that Zhou Qing was overestimating his capabilities and was too optimistic.
But now?
Crazy Racing really did it.
It’s still easy and enjoyable, and can be done effortlessly!
Director Zhou’s vision is truly amazing.
"Breaking 100 million? I think breaking 200 million shouldn't be a problem!"
Lu Yang said to Zhou Qing heavily.
No one thinks that Lu Yang is trying to flatter Zhou Qing, because "Crazy Racing" really has this potential!
And the potential is not small.
"Let's wait and see. I think it's unlikely to break 200 million."
Zhou Qing waved his hand, expressing his attitude in a relatively calm and objective manner.
If we only analyze the movie "Crazy Racing", this might be possible.
But there are other blockbusters released in June that cannot be ignored.
The first is "The Chronicles of Narnia 6", which was released on June 6 and has taken away part of the market share of "Crazy Racing".
You have to know that the total box office of this movie is 8600 million, so the threat is actually not small.
What's even more terrible?
"Kung Fu Panda" will be released on June 6!
This movie grossed 1.9 million yuan, and the impact on "Crazy Racing" will be even greater.
So considering all the circumstances, it is almost impossible for "Crazy Racing" to break 200 million.
But even so, the box office of "Crazy Racing" is already higher than that of the original time and space.
Even if it doesn’t break 1.5 million, it should be no problem to exceed million.
This level of box office is already amazing enough. "Attention all units!"
"Clear the venue!"
"start!"
The filming continued the next day.
Zhou Ping and Feng Yuanzheng had a big fight, but finally got the chance to play.
He rushed back to the rental house as fast as he could to retrieve his drumsticks, but because the traffic was so congested on his way there, he simply rushed out and ran wildly on the road.
Sadly, I was hit by a car.
But Zhou Ping didn't even bother to go to the hospital. He dragged his injured body and forced himself to sit in his seat to perform.
The results are predictable.
How could Zhou Ping play well if he couldn’t even lift a drumstick?
"You are fired, get out now!"
Upon seeing this, Teacher Lin ruthlessly kicked Zhou Ping out of the band.
Zhou Ping couldn't bear it any longer, he rushed over and threw Teacher Lin to the ground, swinging his fists fiercely.
This outburst was much more exciting than the previous one.
Both Zhou Qing and Feng Yuanzheng contributed top-notch acting skills.
Everyone watching the show was so excited.
"Ip Man" will be released on July 7, and the producers have begun promoting it in full swing.
Both Oriental Film's boss Wong Pak Ming and director Ye Weixin attached great importance to this film written by Zhou Qing.
At the same time, we are also full of hope and confidence, and regard it as the most important film project of the company at this stage.
Ye Weixin, in particular, regards this movie as his comeback work.
"Director Zhou Qing's debut martial arts epic Ip Man will be released next month. It's worth looking forward to seeing one man fight ten men."
"Director Zhou Qing's exclusive production and screenwriter's work "Ip Man" is coming, inviting you to experience the exciting fights with fists and flesh."
The producer "Zhou Qing" was promoted as the biggest selling point.
This has proven to be very useful indeed.
Many people's expectations for "Ip Man" really come from the producer Zhou Qing.
Especially since "Crazy Racing", produced exclusively by Zhou Qing, is now in theaters, the publicity effect will be three times better.
It’s a pity that Zhou Qing is currently busy filming "Whiplash" and is unable to show up in person to support the event.
Otherwise it will definitely bring more heat.
"I am a free man now and have nothing to do with Sony anymore."
The "fake heroine" Liu Yifei also started to join the group, and she told Zhou Qing the good news right away.
Zhou Qing was very happy to hear that the disbandment went smoothly.
After all, to put it bluntly, Liu Yifei's stay at Sony is really a waste of time.
"Once the filming of Whiplash is finished, I will hold a grand signing ceremony for you."
Zhou Qing immediately said to Liu Yifei as a matter of course.
You have to know that Liu Yifei is different from Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and Zhu Yawen.
When these people signed with Zhou Qing Studio, they were not very famous and had no status.
But Liu Yifei is different. She is now a top-tier celebrity.
The kind where TV series and movies are in full bloom.
Of course, the necessary ceremony must be there.
Signing a star like this cannot be done carelessly.
"It's all up to you."
Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly and had no objection to this.
"Anyway, from now on, I will sell myself to you, Boss Zhou."
The girl just smiled at Zhou Qing, her eyes full of expectation and longing.
"Think carefully, you're on my pirate ship, and you can't run away."
Zhou Qing gently held Liu Yifei's hand and said.
"Haven't I already boarded your pirate ship?"
Liu Yifei blinked her eyes, with a different kind of light flashing in them.
Facing Liu Yifei's gaze, Zhou Qing smiled knowingly and gently hugged the girl in his arms a little tighter.
"By the way, why don't you see your aunt?"
The two of them chatted for a while, and then Zhou Qing asked Liu Yifei about business.
Generally speaking, when Liu Yifei is filming, Liu Xiaoli follows her.
However, when Liu Yifei joined the group this time, Zhou Qing did not see Liu Xiaoli.
"Didn't you say that I don't have many scenes and can finish filming in one day? Mom is at home this time, so I came here alone."
Liu Yifei gave such an answer.
If she joined other groups, Liu Xiaoli would definitely be worried and would follow Liu Yifei without fail.
But if the director is Zhou Qing, that’s a different matter.
Liu Xiaoli believed that Zhou Qing would definitely take good care of Liu Yifei.
He didn't even call Zhou Qing in advance to inform him, which shows that he was very confident in Zhou Qing.
"Attention all units!"
"start!"
The filming continued the next day, and the heroine Liu Yifei made a shining appearance.
The main shooting scene took place in a large shopping mall.
There aren't actually that many scenes, only two in total.
The first scene is the scene where Zhou Ping and Wang Zhiwen, a father and son, go to the movies and buy popcorn and cold drinks from Liu Yifei.
Very simple, nothing much to say.
Even with Liu Yifei's acting skills, she passed it in one take.
After all, it really doesn't require any technical content.
The second scene is Zhou Ping confessing his love to Liu Yifei.
It’s not difficult to shoot.
"Hello, how are you? Are you busy with work?"
"Okay, what do you want this time? The same old thing?"
Liu Yifei greeted Zhou Ping, a familiar customer, with a warm smile.
At this time, she hadn't realized that the guy in front of her was actually here to confess his love.
"No, I'm actually... I'm not actually here to buy anything, and I don't really know how to start..."
Zhou Qing began to touch his head and stammered in front of Liu Yifei.
With Zhou Qing's current acting skills, handling such a role would be like playing a game, which is simply a waste of talent.
Liu Yifei, who acted opposite Zhou Qing, did not let down at all.
This scene is actually quite simple and requires very low acting skills.
"I often see you here. I think you are very charming and I am deeply attracted to you... Can you be my girlfriend?"
Zhou Ping finally expressed his feelings to the heroine with some hesitation.
"Please leave."
But Liu Yifei's face suddenly turned cold, and she coldly ordered Zhou Qing to leave.
Zhou Qing's eyes flashed with disappointment and helplessness: "Sorry, I, I'll leave now."
puff!
Liu Yifei on the other side smiled and said, "I was just kidding you."
"Crack!"
Lu Yang shouted "click" appropriately.
Next, a scene was filmed where Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei went shopping in a mall and had a meal on a date.
The scenes in the shopping mall have been completely filmed.
"Xixi, congratulations on finishing the film."
The heroine Liu Yifei’s role ends here.
That’s right, the heroine in “Whiplash” has such a low sense of presence. Can you believe that it was filmed in one day? (End of this chapter)
