Chapter 289: Many great directors are competing against each other, Director Zhou is the leader, and

"Director Zhou!"

"Director Zhou!"

At the wrap-up party, the main creators toasted each other and the atmosphere was very lively.

Zhao Liying, who had already finished filming, also came specially and sat next to Liu Yifei.

The two girls talked and laughed together, just like a pair of sisters, which made others envious.

Especially the actresses in the crew.

Zhao Liying is really lucky.

From the beginning of the Yahu Star Search Talent Show to now, we have just entered the 10th year, which is only four years in total.

Zhao Liying transformed from an unknown low-level worker into a third-tier star.

He has such a close relationship with top-tier stars like Liu Yifei, and can even chat and laugh with Director Zhou!
You know, many big names can't be so casual in front of Director Zhou.

With Director Zhou as her support, Zhao Liying's future is limitless.

"Liying, your "Chinese Paladin III" is really popular now."

"Your performance of Xuejian is very good, very spiritual."

Therefore, Zhao Liying was also quite popular at the celebration banquet, and many people took the initiative to greet her enthusiastically.

"I didn't act well. I'm sorry to make you all laugh."

Zhao Liying did not dare to be arrogant at all and was very humble and polite to everyone.

Perhaps because she often hangs out with talented actors like Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, Zhao Liying realizes that her acting skills are still far from being up to par.

"Let me be fair, Liying. Your acting skills in "The Witch" have improved significantly this time."

Zhou Qing smiled and spoke at this time, giving Zhao Liying high praise.

It is definitely not an intentional attempt to praise Zhao Liying or to give her a boost, but rather it is telling the truth.

From the newbie who knew nothing at the beginning, to the supporting roles in various movies, to Wanqiu in "The Disguiser", and to Xuejian in "The Chinese Paladin III".

Along the way, Zhao Liying's progress is indeed visible to the naked eye.

In her own "The Witch", Zhao Liying's acting skills have become more mature and smooth.

It cannot be said to be very exquisite, and there is even a big gap compared with Li Xiaoran, but it is definitely above the standard.

"Really? Director Zhou? This is all because of your excellent directing!"

A sweet smile from the heart suddenly appeared on Zhao Liying's face.

Then she glanced at Wang Baoqiang who was sitting diagonally opposite her and subconsciously added, "And I'm still far from it. I still need to learn a lot from Brother Baoqiang!"

The movie "The Witch" allowed Zhao Liying to witness Wang Baoqiang's acting skills with her own eyes.

I really admire him to the core and am convinced.

"Hey, why are you learning from me? I'm just acting blindly and I'm worried that I won't act well."

Wang Baoqiang hurriedly waved his hands modestly, but he couldn't suppress the smile between his brows.

In fact, he is quite satisfied with his performance in "The Witch".

Firstly, this film finally allowed him to fight to his heart's content, thus fulfilling Wang Baoqiang's dream of starring in a kung fu film.

Secondly, the setting of the villain, a perverted killer, actually requires quite high acting skills.

It also allowed Wang Baoqiang to fully satisfy his desire to show off his acting skills.

"Bao Qiang is definitely being modest. Your Xu Sanduo is definitely not a role that ordinary people can handle."

"Yes, there is also "Li Mi's Conjecture". I feel sorry that Baoqiang didn't win the Best Supporting Actor award."

There was immediately a burst of flattery all around, needless to say.

"Director Zhou, there are so many supporting roles in 'Scarlet Heart'. Do you think I can give it a try?"

The banquet was lively for a while, and finally someone couldn't hold back and asked Zhou Qing for news.

There is no way, who asked Zhou Qing Pictures to be the main controller of "Startling by Each Step"?

Plus, the other co-producer turned out to be Tangren.

This has made "Startling by Each Step" a top TV drama project that has attracted great attention from the entire industry since its exposure.

Especially after "Scarlet Heart" announced the start of casting in early March, those actors who met the requirements became even more eager to join.

That’s right, just as Cai Yinong said, Sugar Man announced on March 3th that the casting has officially begun.

It immediately caused a stir in the circle, and many actors began to jump up and down.

Although Tangren and Zhou Qing Pictures both have their own artists, so what?
With so many characters in a TV series, how many artists from these two companies can there be?

Even if you can't get the leading role, there are still many important supporting roles to choose from.

"If any of you are interested in 'Startling by Each Step', you can contact Tangren yourself. I will not interfere in this regard."

Zhou Qing smiled and gave this answer which was not surprising.

For those projects where Director Zhou is not the director but only the producer, he indeed never interferes with the director's work.

However, the heroine of "Startling by Each Step" must be either Liu Shishi, who is known as Sugar Man, or Zhao Liying, who is under Director Zhou, right?
Although Tangren has not revealed any information yet, many people in the circle have made such speculations.

"Director Zhou Qing has completed filming of the sci-fi suspense action blockbuster "The Witch". Director Zhou Qing said that the film will not disappoint everyone."

"The final photos of "The Witch" were leaked, Director Zhou and Liu Yifei smiled sweetly, and the rumors about the two were brought up again."

"Following Source Code, Director Zhou has completed filming of another sci-fi masterpiece, The Witch."

The completion of "The Witch" still attracted great attention in the circle.

Especially some film producers who have film plans for the next 10 years or are currently producing films are more vigilant.

This year's film market has a new super beast.

You have to know that since "Source Code" crushed "Movies and TV Series", Zhou Qing defeated Zhang Guoshi to become the number one director in mainland China, and his reputation has been at its peak.

There is no one who is not afraid.

What's more, the box office of "Source Code" is also extremely high.

Compared with the previous "retired champion" "Founding of a Republic" with a box office of more than 4 million yuan, it is nearly 3 million more, which is really too exaggerated.

Knowing that this big new film has been completed, anyone who makes a movie will naturally take this factor into consideration.

"Director Chen."

After two days of simple rest, Zhou Qing took a breath and then started to get busy again.

The first thing was to meet with Director Chen to discuss the backlog of work that had occurred during the three months of filming "The Witch".

Director Chen has handled most of the matters, but he still needs to report to the boss.

There are also a small number of things that require Zhou Qing to make the decision personally.

Although it wasn’t too much, it was enough to keep Zhou Qing busy for a while.

Of course, for Zhou Qing, the most important thing at the moment is the post-production of "The Witch".

It is worth mentioning that nowadays Zhou Qing no longer needs to find a professional post-production team to do the post-production of his films.

Just work at Zhou Qing Pictures.

After Zhou Qing Studio was upgraded to Zhou Qing Pictures, various frameworks have been perfected.

The post-production team is naturally well-equipped, and is the best in the country.

This makes things a lot more convenient for Zhou Qing and the directors under him.

For example, Wu Jing's "The Man from Nowhere" was produced in post-production at Zhou Qing Films, and Zhou Qing also provided Wu Jing with a lot of constructive suggestions.

"Director Zhou, I think it's time to start the project of Hypnotist."

Just after a few days of working on the post-production, Lu Yang, who had been idle for a long time, knocked on Zhou Qing's office door.

"Why, you've had enough rest, and you finally remembered that you're still a director?"

Zhou Qing put down the work at hand and joked with Lu Yang.

This guy Lu Yang is not very ambitious enough.

After becoming famous with the movie "The Labyrinth of Heart", he continued to be a nobody.

There is no intention at all to build on the good momentum and make further progress.

If Huang Bo hadn't pestered Lu Yang to start a new film all day long, Lu Yang wouldn't know when to start work.

"Director Zhou, I think directors, like actors, shouldn't be too nervous, right?"

Lu Yang smiled and still argued confidently.

"Too tight? Your strings are almost rusty!"

Zhou Qing also couldn't help laughing, and then he discussed with Lu Yang about the relevant matters of "Hypnotist".

"By the way, Director Zhou, I plan to ask Huang Bo to play the male lead in Hypnotist."

Lu Yang told Zhou Qing the news.

Huang Bo?

Zhou Qing just nodded, indicating that he understood what was going on, and didn't say anything more.

There is certainly no problem with Huang Bo playing the male lead in "Hypnotist".

What’s even more interesting is that in the original time and space, the second film of the “Master Series”, “The Memory Master”, was also starred by Huang Bo.

So how is the box office performance of "The Great Hypnotist"?

The box office is similar to that of the first "Hypnotist", 2.9 million yuan.

It's just a pity that "Hypnotist" did make a lot of money, but "Battle of Memory" suffered a loss of more than 2700 million.

The main reason is that the cost of "The Memory Master" soared too much, reaching 1.3 million yuan.

Zhou Qing really didn't know where the film producers got the confidence to spend so much on a movie of this theme.

If Zhou Qing were to produce the film, the budget would be strictly controlled below 3000 million.

Otherwise there is really no need to make it.

Of course, even if it is to be produced, that is a matter for the future.

Because Zhou Qing had already promised Lu Yang that after "Hypnotist", he would let him shoot a martial arts film first.

"The Blade of the Assassin" is going to be put on the agenda!

"No Man's Land, directed by Ning Hao, has been completely taken off the screen, with a total box office of 3.6 million yuan. China Entertainment has added another 3 million yuan movie."

"Breaking 3 million! Zhou Qing + Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" is a huge hit at the box office, with a total box office of 3.6 million!"

"Director Jiang Wen's new film "Let the Bullets Fly" has finished filming quietly. Jiang Wen said it will be released within this year."

"Jiang Wen's new film "Let the Bullets Fly" has finally finished filming, and Feng Xiaogang has transformed into a funny man."

The circle was still very lively in March, and many things were related to Zhou Qing.

Putting aside the casting of "Startling by Each Step" and the completion of "The Witch", "No Man's Land" has also unknowingly completed its release period.

The total box office was similar to what everyone in the industry had predicted before, and easily broke the 3 million threshold.

It’s as much as 3.6 million.

This made Zhou Qing and Ning Hao both feel very much in the circle, and also excited many people.

3.6 billion!

Among all the movies in the 3 million club, the box office is the highest.

It surpassed "Red Cliff", "If You Are the One" and also "Painted Skin"!
This result is really very impressive.

The three top directors Zhang, Chen and Feng were all left behind by Ning Hao in one go.

As the producer Zhou Qing, isn’t that a direct win?

As the director, Ning Hao also won a great victory!
Another thing is the completion of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Although Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" suffered a huge loss, considering Jiang Wen's level in the circle, "Let the Bullets Fly" is still one of the most anticipated and watched movies.

Not to mention, "Let the Bullets Fly" is a powerful collaboration between Zhou Qing and Jiang Wen.

There are also top stars like Chow Yun-fat and Ge You joining the cast.

The super luxurious lineup in front of and behind the stage really makes it hard for people not to pay attention and look forward to it.

"Brother Chen Kai's new film "The Orphan of Zhao" has started filming, and Brother Chen Kai and his wife are "escorting" Ge You."

"An accident occurred at the press conference for the launch of "The Orphan of Zhao", the stage collapsed and the stars had mixed reactions."

In addition, poet Chen’s new film "The Orphan of Zhao" also started shooting in a high-profile manner.

It also attracted the attention of many people.

Although both "The Promise" and "Mei Lanfang" by poet Chen are quite satisfactory, "The Promise" is particularly hard to describe.

But no matter what, he is also one of the top directors in the mainland.

Even though he is generally considered to be ranked behind Zhou Qing and Zhang Guoshi, he can only be ranked lower than Feng Xiaogang who has no awards.

But he is also a big shot standing at the top of the pyramid, right?
The other party’s “The Orphan of Zhao” is naturally also a top blockbuster!

No one dares to underestimate it.

So the past 10 years have been really lively, so lively that it’s a bit suffocating.

Zhou Qing's "The Witch" has just finished filming, and Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" has also just finished filming.

Feng Xiaogang's "Aftershock" was completed at the end of December last year and will definitely be released in 12.

Now poet Chen’s new film has also started shooting in a high-profile manner.

By the way, we can’t forget Master Zhang.

At the beginning of 10, Master Zhang started auditioning actors for his new film "Under the Hawthorn Tree", and it is estimated that filming will start soon.

In other words, this year the four top directors Zhou, Zhang, Chen and Feng all have new films, and Jiang Wen is also joining in the fun.

It's equivalent to saying that five super directors are fighting each other, which is not an exaggeration at all.

It’s lively. It’s so lively.

So, among these five top directors, who is the most promising in the industry?

You know what, it really is Zhou Qing.

There is no other reason. Looking at Zhou Qing's battle record over the years, he is really too fierce.

All those other great directors, one by one, which one wasn't blown to pieces by Director Zhou?
The highest box office in the careers of those great directors was less than half of Director Zhou's "Source Code".

How do you compare this?

No matter how you compare them, Director Zhou is more awesome.

Although "The Witch" is not "Source Code", the buff of the movie "The Witch" is actually very powerful.

China’s own superhero movie!
Regardless of other things, just this point alone has already whetted everyone's appetite. (End of this chapter)
