Chapter 260 The movie star and director shocked the entire Chinese entertainment industry, and all t

At the cocktail party after the interview, Zhou Qing was still one of the most focused points of the whole event, or perhaps it would not be an exaggeration to remove the word "one of".

Although Zhou Qing did not win the ultimate award, the Palme d'Or, he won two major awards in one fell swoop.

What's more important?
young!

Compared with other award-winning filmmakers, Zhou Qing is really too young.

It's clearly a young man!

You should know that Michael Haneke, the winner of the Palme d'Or, is already 67 years old this year.

He looks like a white-haired old man.

Where is Zhou Qing?
He is just the same age as the other person's grandson.

In this case, Zhou Qing's popularity is really no less than that of Michael Haneke.

"Director Zhou, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Zhou!"

A large number of filmmakers came to congratulate Zhou Qing, not to mention several Huayu film crews.

"Director Zhou, congratulations on winning two major awards and bringing glory to the country!"

Lou Ye also looked radiant with joy. He personally held up the wine glass and gave his blessings to Zhou Qing.

"You're welcome, Senior Brother. Congratulations on winning the grand prize."

Zhou Qing raised his glass lightly and congratulated the other party in return.

"I only won the Best Screenplay Award, which is nothing compared to your Grand Jury Award."

Lou Ye shook his head repeatedly. He was very clear about this point.

But even so, Lou Ye's mood was still very good.

What happened to the Best Screenplay Award?
That was also the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes!

Looking at the entire domestic entertainment industry, that is an achievement that ordinary people cannot achieve.

You can be proud of it too!

"Look at what you said, brother. They all add luster to Chinese-language films. They are all the same, all the same."

Zhou Qing waved his hands humbly again and again.

"Director Zhou, we meet again!"

Li An also came in front of Zhou Qing, attracting the attention of everyone in the venue.

Although Li An did not win any prizes at the Cannes Film Festival and was just a runner-up the whole time, no one dared to underestimate him.

There is no other reason, it’s just that his past battle record was just too fierce.

"Director Li, how are you?"

Zhou Qing greeted Li An with a smile.

The other party also has a work shortlisted for the main competition unit this time, called "Making Woodstock".

This may be the least famous of all Li An's works.

Actually, it has some similarities with Zhou Qing's "Whiplash", both of which are movies about music.

Zhou Qing went to see it and found that it was actually quite well filmed.

But that is compared with other movies. Among Li An's many films, the quality is average.

It's not surprising that a film failed to win anything at Cannes.

I'm afraid even Li An himself doesn't have much hope.

"Director Zhou, you really surprise me. Who would have thought that this year's Cannes Best Actor award would be won by a director?"

After a brief greeting, Li An couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The surprise and disbelief deep in his eyes were definitely not fake, but came from the heart.

If Li An had not experienced this incident personally, he would never have believed it.

It’s outrageous that a top director won the top actor award!

What’s even worse is that this is director Zhou Qing’s first time acting!
"Whiplash" is director Zhou Qing's screen debut!

All I can say is that Director Zhou Qing’s talent as an actor is no less than his talent as a director.

"It's just luck. I never thought I could win the Best Actor award."

Zhou Qing smiled and waved his hand, looking calm and composed.

It seemed that winning the Cannes Best Actor award was just an ordinary thing for him, nothing to be surprised about.

To some extent, this is indeed a true reflection of Zhou Qing's inner thoughts.

Winning the Best Actor award did make him surprised and excited, but he soon became calm again and even took it for granted.

After all, our acting skills are at the highest level, so what's so surprising?

"Are you saying that you got the award by accident?"

Li An couldn't help laughing.

If the other actors heard this, they would probably vomit blood, right?
"Director Zhou will stay in Cannes for a few more days this time, right?"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Li An straightened his face a little and asked this question seemingly casually.

He had already inquired about it and found out that the copyright of "Whiplash" had not been sold yet, so he could guess Zhou Qing's next move.

"It just so happens that I have some things that will take me two days. It's rare for us to meet in Cannes this time, so why don't we find a place and have a small gathering?"

After receiving a positive response from Zhou Qing, Li An made such a proposal to Zhou Qing.

To be honest, Zhou Qing was quite surprised.

Although he and Li An had met many times and were familiar with each other, they were not actually this familiar.

But since Li An had already spoken, Zhou Qing certainly wouldn't refuse.

Without much hesitation, he agreed readily.

He also wanted to see what kind of medicine Li An was selling.

Thinking back to the actions he had carried out in secret over the years, Zhou Qing actually had some guesses about Li An's move.

I just don’t know whether my guess is right or not.

But if I guessed correctly, the situation might be a little awkward.

Anyway, let's see when the time comes.

"Director Zhou!"

"Director Zhou!"

Following Li An and some filmmakers, international film producers also flocked in and almost surrounded Zhou Qing.

There is no doubt that all of them are here for the copyright of "Whiplash".

Winning the Grand Jury Prize and Cannes Best Actor Award, Whiplash is definitely one of the biggest favorites at this year's Cannes.

It is second only to "The White Ribbon" which won the Palme d'Or.

However, considering Zhou Qing's status in the top three and the subject matter of the film, the commercial potential of "Whiplash" is actually much greater than that of "The White Ribbon".

A number of film producers are gearing up to acquire the copyright of "Whiplash".

Zhou Qing gave a unified response to this, saying that he would hold a film screening after the film festival.

We'll discuss everything after the screening.

He believes that this time, "Whiplash" will definitely sell for a good price.

……

"The 62nd Cannes Film Festival awards were announced, and director Zhou Qing won two awards for Whiplash! He won the Best Actor and Jury Prize respectively!"

"After Ge You and Liang Chaowei, China has its third Cannes Best Actor! Zhou Qing, only 24 years old, won the Best Actor award!"

“Whiplash didn’t win the Palme d’Or, but it won two major awards, the Best Actor and the Grand Prix!”

"Director Zhou Qing's debut on the big screen astounded the world, and he was crowned the best actor in Cannes for the first time as a leading actor!"

"Whiplash won two awards at Cannes, Best Actor and the Grand Jury Prize. Director Zhou Qing won another award two years later."

"Director Zhou is still Director Zhou. After the Berlin and Venice Film Festivals, he also won a big prize at the Cannes Film Festival!"

The news of the Cannes Film Festival quickly spread back to the country.

Immediately, it was like a huge rock thrown into the water, causing a huge uproar.

The hearts of everyone in the circle were almost stimulated to burst, and their eyes almost popped out.

"It's too exaggerated!"

"What a joke!"

Many people simply couldn't believe their ears, their faces were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

There is no other reason, it’s just that the results of this Cannes Film Festival were a bit too outrageous!
Can you believe that Director Zhou actually won the Best Actor award?

In fact, no one was surprised that "Whiplash" won a big prize at Cannes.

Considering Zhou Qing's brilliant performance in Berlin and Vienna, his "Whiplash" was already highly anticipated by the industry.

Everyone agreed that Whiplash was definitely the film most likely to win the grand prize.

The potential is much higher than the other three Chinese-language films.

Facts have proved that everyone was not mistaken. Director Zhou is still the same Director Zhou, and his strength is still as strong as ever.

It won the Grand Prix, a prestigious award, at its first attempt at the Cannes Film Festival.

You should know that the value of this award is very high, second only to the highest award, the Palme d'Or! Winning the Grand Jury Prize in Cannes is enough to prove that your uncle is still your uncle.

Looking at the entire domestic entertainment industry, no, it should be said that looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, no one else can do it except Chen Shishi and Zhang Guoshi.

Needless to say, poet Chen's Palme d'Or is certainly more impressive than the Grand Jury Prize.

Zhang Guoshi won the Special Jury Prize at the 47th Cannes Film Festival for his performance in To Live.

The name is different from the Jury Prize won by Zhou Qing, but the weight is actually the same.

Both are second only to the Palme d'Or.

So it is correct that Zhou Qing currently holds one Golden Lion, one Golden Bear and one Grand Jury Award. Compared with Master Zhang, he is only short of a Golden Lion trophy among the three top awards.

Master Zhang has won two Golden Lions, one Golden Bear and one Grand Jury Award. So far, he is still the most proud figure in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

Even a reborn person and cheater like Zhou Qing has to admit that he is still no match for Master Zhang.

Otherwise, how could he be the national teacher?

But as for poet Chen, there is nothing else except a Palme d'Or.

It is generally believed in the industry that he should be ranked behind Zhou Qing, especially when "Whiplash" won another Cannes Jury Prize.

As for the others besides Master Zhang and Poet Chen?
Well, there is no one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry who can compete with Zhou Qing. They are all far from it.

The kind with faults!

During this trip to Cannes, Zhou Qing once again proved to the entire Chinese entertainment industry that as a director, he is a well-deserved boss standing at the top of the pyramid.

He is a big shot who is second only to Master Zhang and no one can compare with him.

He is a big shot who is getting closer and closer to Master Zhang and will soon surpass Master Zhang.

During this trip to Cannes, Zhou Qing once again consolidated his position as a top director in mainland China.

But if it were just that it would be fine, but what’s even more ridiculous is that director Zhou Qing also won the Cannes Best Actor Award.

What a joke!
Looking at all the actors in the Chinese entertainment industry, every one of them is confused and dumbfounded.

"Director Zhou actually won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival? That's too much."

"Outrageous, way off the mark!"

"Is the news correct? It can't be fake!"

I don’t know how many people shouted that they couldn’t believe it.

Well, everyone knows that Director Zhou Qing is a graduate of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy and has studied acting.

But even so, isn’t the title of Best Actor too ridiculous?

This is director Zhou Qing’s screen debut!

He had never acted before, but he won the Best Actor Award in his first film?
Is this something a normal human being can do?
What’s more, he is the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor!
Do you know how rare it is to win the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival?
Up to now, there is only Ge Da Ye in the entire domestic entertainment industry.

Zhou Qing is currently the only two Cannes Film Emperors in the domestic entertainment industry!

To be honest, even if the value of this award is slightly lower than that of the Palme d'Or, it is not much different.

So if we include Hong Kong entertainment, what about the entire Chinese entertainment industry?
There is just one more Liang Chaowei.

So what if we expand the scope to the whole of East Asia?

It's just that there is one more Japanese person, Yuya Yagira.

That’s right, there are only four Cannes Film Festival winners in the entire East Asia, including Zhou Qing!
This shows how rare the Cannes Best Actor Award is.

By the way, Yagira Yuya is simply a pervert. He won the Cannes Best Actor Award for his first film at the age of 14.

It can be called the most perverted of perverts.

However, in the eyes of everyone in the domestic entertainment industry, Zhou Qing is also a similar pervert.

"It's okay for the Grand Jury Prize. It's not surprising that Aoko won it, but Best Actor?"

At Zhou Qing Pictures, Huang Bo felt like he was not feeling well at all, even his head was buzzing and dizzy.

Several seconds passed, and I still couldn't come back to my senses.

Considering Aoko's level of directing prowess, it's not surprising that he won the Palme d'Or, let alone the second highest award, the Jury Prize.

But who could have thought that Qingzi would win another Best Actor award out of nowhere?

He’s the best actor!

Huang Bo is a professional actor. How many years has it been since his debut? How many movies has he acted in?

He has only won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor!

As a result, Zhou Qing won the Cannes Best Actor Award for his first film?
This is fucking exciting. Is this really exciting?
Compared with Director Zhou, Huang Bo felt like a waste.

"I also didn't expect that he could actually... win the Best Actor award."

Liu Yifei was also stunned.

This result was completely beyond the girl's expectations.

Even though Liu Yifei had always known that Zhou Qing had excellent acting skills, she was still greatly stimulated.

After all, the Cannes Best Actor award is indeed too shocking.

But despite being surprised, Liu Yifei couldn't stop smiling and felt happy for Zhou Qing from the bottom of her heart.

This time, Zhou Qing must have shocked everyone, right?

"Fortunately, Director Zhou didn't come here to act, otherwise what would we actors have left to do?"

Wang Baoqiang uttered this deep sigh.

While I was full of admiration for Zhou Qing, I also felt deeply fortunate.

Director Zhou is not only good-looking but also famous. More importantly, his acting skills are so amazing.

What’s more important is that I am also the director.

This means that as long as Director Zhou wants to act, there will be no shortage of resources. I'm afraid all the major directors will have to beg Director Zhou to act.

Even Director Zhou can promote himself. It won’t be long before he becomes a top-tier celebrity.

Then for all male actors, it is undoubtedly a huge threat.

"Luckily, I make a living as an action actor. Even if Director Zhou really becomes an actor, he won't be a threat to me."

Wu Jing was smiling smugly on the side.

No matter how good Director Zhou’s skills are, and no matter how handsome he is, do you know kung fu?
No way.

But we will!

Not only can I do it, I have also won the national martial arts championship many times.

So Wu Jing really wasn't bragging.

Even if Zhou Qing really came to be an actor, it would have almost no impact on Wu Jing.

"You're still happy. Your acting range is even narrower than mine."

Huang Bo couldn't help but feel ruthless and heartbroken.

Actors like Wu Jing can only appear in major action movies.

But action movies are already declining nowadays!

“So~ I changed my job to become a director.”

Wu Jing shrugged as if it was a matter of course, and then stood up.

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go see Director Chen."

After greeting a few people, Wu Jing knocked on Director Chen's office door.

When Zhou Qing is not in the company, Director Chen is fully responsible for all matters of the company, big or small.

So what exactly did Wu Jing want to talk to Director Chen about?

Nothing else, just the announcement of the film project "The Man from Nowhere".

Ever since he learned that Zhou Qing's "Whiplash" was going to be screened at Cannes, Wu Jing has been keeping secret information about "The Man from Lone Star" and not revealing it to anyone.

Just waiting for this wave of popularity to arrive.

Director Chen naturally had no objection to this. After all, now was a good time to announce it.

"The fashion action movie "The Lone Agent" launched by Zhou Qing Pictures is currently casting, and the film is directed by Wu Jing."

"Zhou Qing Pictures' new film "The Lone Agent" has been revealed, written by director Zhou Qing and directed by Wu Jing, a newly signed director of Zhou Qing Pictures."

"Zhou Qing Pictures has launched another masterpiece, The Man from Nowhere, directed by Wu Jing, the director of Wolf Fang."

At this critical juncture, "The Man from Nowhere" immediately attracted great attention from the entire industry once it was announced.

The entire industry was secretly amazed at the high efficiency and fast action of Zhou Qing Pictures.

How long has it been since Source Code was completed?
How long has it been since the filming of "Heart Labyrinth" was completed?
As a result, in the blink of an eye, a new movie is about to be released?
The only thing is that the director of this new film is a bit unexpected. It’s the flop director Wu Jing.

The other party’s “Wolf Tooth” was so popular, but when it came to Zhou Qing Pictures, it was taken so seriously?

You just signed the contract and there's a movie to shoot?
Director Zhou is so optimistic about Wu Jing?
"Director Zhou won't fail this time, right?"

Many people were skeptical, thinking that Zhou Qing had worked on so many movies and it was possible that he would fail for the first time.

Of course, there are also many people who choose to believe Zhou Qing.

After all, Zhou Qing has proven time and again that his eyes are extremely sharp.

Ning Hao, Xue Xiaolu, and Ye Weixin, who lost money on every film he made, all these directors became hits after being noticed by Director Zhou.

Who can say that Wu Jing won’t explode this time?

But no matter what, the fact that the movie "The Man from Nowhere" has attracted a lot of attention is indisputable. (End of this chapter)
