Chapter 311: The female lead of "Your Name", Zhao Liying becomes popular, and "Embroi

The other one is Wu Jing.

This is the second contracted director of his company, so Zhou Qing naturally couldn't forget him.

Zhou Qing had already thought of the movie to prepare for Wu Jing.

Since I have already copied "SPL 2", I might as well copy the other one "SPL : The Last Tycoon" as well.

The film was released in 17 and its total box office reached more than 5 million yuan, so its box office potential is still very good.

The rating on Douban is also 7.0.

For an action movie, this is definitely a high score.

If Zhou Qing can further optimize it, it will be no problem to get it up to 7.5 points or even around 8 points.

Of course, the title of the film has to be changed, it definitely cannot be called "SPL 2: The Sha Po Lang".

It also cannot be called "Tan Lang" directly.

After all, the "wolf" in "Sha Po Lang" actually refers to "Tan Lang".

Zhou Qing was too lazy to think about the specific name, so he just called it "No Mercy 2".

It’s simple and clear, and it can also take advantage of the popularity of the first film. Why not?
So yes, 11 will be another busy year for Zhou Qing.

In addition to directing a film himself, he also plans to produce four other films.

Frankly speaking, this task is quite arduous, but at the same time, the rewards are bound to be great.

Anyway, Zhou Qing himself is quite looking forward to it.

11 will surely be another fruitful year.

With this beautiful vision and full of enthusiasm, Zhou Qing devoted himself to the creation of the script with full enthusiasm.

The first one is "Your Name".

Firstly, the threshold for adaptation of the film is extremely low, and its score on a certain platform is as high as 8.5 points, so its quality is quite solid.

This means that Zhou Qing requires almost no optimization and only needs a certain degree of Chinese localization.

In addition, the difficulty of Chinese translation is not that great, so the overall creation is very smooth and quick.

According to Zhou Qing's estimate, it can be completed in about 10 days.

"Congratulations, Liying. You are really famous now. You have become a big star!"

“I knew that ‘Startling by Each Step’ would be a hit, but I didn’t expect it to be this popular!”

"Startling by Each Step" has been aired for more than ten days, and its popularity can be said to have exploded.

The leading actress Zhao Liying became the biggest beneficiary and became an overnight sensation with the hit of "Startling by Each Step".

If we say that Xuejian at the time only made Zhao Liying emerge and gain some fame.

It was this drama "Startling by Each Step" that really made Zhao Liying a hit.

It may be a bit of a stretch to call it a first-tier city, but it is undoubtedly the top second-tier city. To be precise, it can be called a quasi-first-tier city.

It’s just one step away from the real first line.

As long as she has some reliable resources to push her forward, Zhao Liying will be able to join the ranks of first-tier stars easily and happily.

As the most powerful film and television production company in the industry, would Zhou Qing Pictures lack Zhao Liying's resources?
impossible!

Everyone knows it's impossible.

So yes, anyone with eyes that are not blind can guess that a new top star is about to be born in the circle.

The name of this big star is Zhao Liying.

Zhou Qing, who had just arranged a martial arts trilogy for Zhao Liying, was more optimistic about this.

After the filming of "The Four", there was no doubt that Zhao Liying would become a first-line star.

"Zhao Liying is really popular now. Director Zhou really didn't fool me."

Wang Changtian was somewhat surprised and also somewhat emotional about this.

Director Zhou's vision is as sharp as ever.

He is obviously just a film director, but he can still dazzle people by "going off the track" to make TV series.

Not only was the first TV series "The Disguiser" a huge success, the second TV series "Startling by Each Step" was also a big hit.

I can't hold it in. This really makes me feel a little overwhelmed.

You say you are great at making movies and every one of them is a hit, but how come you are also so great at making TV series?
Also make one that becomes a big hit?
How embarrassed are those people in the TV drama circle?

You have to know that TV series and movies are really two completely different things!

So is this threshold really non-existent in front of Director Zhou?

What does it mean that the capable can do anything?

Apparently that's it.

With the explosive popularity of "Startling by Each Step", everyone in the circle has become more and more impressed by Zhou Qing.

Some people in the TV drama circle were feeling a little uneasy.

Given Director Zhou's ability, if he really came to produce a TV series, that would be like crying wolf.

No one wants to have such a powerful competitor.

The only consolation is that Director Zhou once publicly stated that he made TV series just for fun.

The other party’s main business is still movies.

"Done!"

At Zhou Qing Pictures, Zhou Qing in the office couldn't help but stretch comfortably.

As expected, Zhou Qing completed the script of "Your Name" in just 10 days.

But there is no need to rush to start.

Why?

Because the heroine Zhou Qing in "Your Name" has already been chosen.

Who?
Liu Yifei.

First of all, Liu Yifei is an artist under Zhou Qing Pictures.

Secondly, the relationship between Liu Yifei and Zhou Qing is extraordinary.

Both publicly and privately, it is reasonable to ask Liu Yifei to play the role.

What's more, the heroine of "Your Name", Zhou Qing, was changed into a college student after the Chinese translation, and Liu Yifei is still very suitable.

The girl is only 23 years old now, and she will be 8 after her birthday in August.

When it comes to playing a female college student, looking across the entire industry, there are really few female stars more suitable than Liu Yifei.

The only problem is that Liu Yifei is currently filming "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate".

No matter what, we have to wait until the girl finishes filming, right?
"I'm afraid Xixi will be very busy this year."

After thinking about it, Zhou Qing couldn't help but let out a sigh.

You should know that Liu Yifei is also the heroine in "Painted Skin".

Now that Zhou Qing is planning to start "Painted Skin 2", he will definitely need the original crew.

This means that Liu Yifei has participated in as many as 3 movies this year!
Fortunately, they are all movies produced by ourselves, so it is much easier to coordinate the time.

Zhou Qing could have waited until he finished filming Your Name before starting Painted Skin 2.

Anyway, the scale of "Your Name" is not large. According to Zhou Qing's experience, it can be completed in about 2 months.

It shouldn’t delay the release of Painted Skin 2.

Of course, even if it is really delayed, it doesn’t matter. "Painted Skin 2" can be produced next year. Zhou Qing has the final say anyway.

It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.

"Continue to work on "No Mercy 2"!"

After making the plan, Zhou Qing did not hesitate too much and continued to get busy. "The cast of the 3D martial arts epic "The Four" directed by Gordon Chan has been announced, with the male lead Deng Chao and the female lead Zhao Liying."

"Zhao Liying, the heroine of the hit drama "Startling by Each Step", has been confirmed to play the heroine Wuqing in "The Four."

"Deng Chao and Zhao Liying have joined the cast of The Four, produced by Fiber Optic Media, which will start filming in March."

Fiber Optic Media announced the cast list for "The Four", which immediately attracted great attention in the industry.

Although Zhou Qing looked down upon this project, it is undeniable that "The Four" is definitely a top film project in the industry.

The director is the famous director Gordon Chan from Hong Kong, and the film is adapted from the famous martial arts novel "The Four".

The cast is also an all-star lineup.

It can be said that it is luxurious from the front stage to the backstage.

Not to mention the huge gimmick of 3D martial arts.

You have to know that the movie "Avatar" completely hyped up the concept of 3D.

With all these buffs piled up, it’s not easy for “The Four” to keep a low profile and it’s hard not to attract attention.

The heroine Zhao Liying was once again envied, jealous and hated by many people.

This guy's luck is really fucking good!

She was just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family.

I participated in a talent show organized by Yahu Star Search, and who would have thought that I would be noticed by Director Zhou.

He also signed directly with Zhou Qing Pictures.

From then on, he soared to the sky.

The first ones that came out were top-notch TV series like “The Legend of Sword and Fairy III” and “Startling by Each Step” that others tried their best to get.

As a result, "Startling by Each Step" is still being broadcast, and in the blink of an eye, another top movie has appeared.

These resources are so good, who wouldn’t be jealous? Who wouldn’t be envious?
I can’t envy it enough. I really can’t envy it enough.

Zhao Liying herself was so happy that she almost fainted.

For her, a movie of this level is like a dream!
You should know that this is Zhao Liying’s first role as the heroine in a movie.

As a result, there are Deng Chao, Huang Qiusheng, Zheng Zhongji, Zou Zhaolong, Jiang Yiyan and so many other stars as supporting actors. Isn't this a perfect lineup?

Of course, Zhao Liying also understood that the reason she was able to win the female lead role was definitely not because of her own excellence.

Simply because I have a good boss.

So Zhao Liying is really grateful to Zhou Qing.

And he has always been repaying Zhou Qing with his actual actions.

Since being chosen as the female lead, Zhao Liying has been studying scripts every day in the company, asking Huang Bo and Zhu Yawen for advice on acting, and she is working very hard.

"Director Zhou, Huang Bo has got the role of Ge Erdan."

In early March, Huang Bo’s agent brought good news that Huang Bo was successfully arranged to play the role of "The Militiaman Ge Erdan".

Zhou Qing was not surprised at all, after all, Ge Erdan was originally played by Huang Bo.

Huang Bo was very excited and eager to try it out.

You know, this is his first TV series.

Looking at all the artists in Zhou Qing Pictures, every one of them has a hit TV series.

Only Huang Bo didn't.

Now this situation has been broken, and Huang Bo can now catch up with his friends.

However, Huang Bo's role is an internal one, and the crew of "The Militiaman Ge Erdan" has not yet started the formal casting.

According to the information released by the producer, it is still in the early preparation stage and the full-scale casting will probably not start until next month.

As for filming, it might take until May or June.

"Xiao Liu."

After chatting with Huang Bo, Zhou Qing called his assistant over.

It’s already March, and it’s time to start Zhou Qing Pictures’ first film project.

He immediately instructed his assistant to carry out the corresponding project establishment and copyright registration.

Of course, at the same time, preparatory work also started immediately.

The corresponding producers have already been in place, and director Lu Yang is even more eager to get started.

At Zhou Qing's command, both parties began to work busily.

The male lead has been confirmed to be played by Zhu Yawen, but the female lead has not yet been decided.

In fact, Zhou Qing originally wanted to squeeze Zhao Liying in.

But who would have thought that before that step came to hand, Wang Changtian would have brought "The Four" to the doorstep first.

Considering Zhao Liying's career, "The Four" series is obviously more suitable.

After all, Wu Qing is the absolute heroine in "The Four", but Zhou Miaotong is just a tool in "Knife of the Assassin".

There is no way to compare the two.

"Director Lu Yang's new film has been released, and the martial arts film "Embroidered Spring Blade" has been approved."

"Zhou Qing Pictures' opening work of the year, "Embroidered Spring Blade", has been launched, and the director is Lu Yang, the director of "Hypnotist".

"The martial arts film "Embroidered Spring Blade", written by director Zhou Qing and directed by director Lu Yang, is reportedly casting."

With Lu Yang's current rank, his every move cannot be hidden from the media.

"The Blade of the Assassin" was only prepared for a short time when it was exposed by reporters from all sides at the first opportunity.

The circle became lively again, and countless people's attention was quickly focused.

You should know that Lu Yang is no longer an unknown person, but a top director with great influence.

Although there is still a big gap between him and the four great directors Zhou, Zhang, Chen and Feng, he is definitely a top director ranked below these four great directors.

It is true that he has only made two movies since his debut, but one grossed over 3 million yuan and the other over million yuan. Who dares to underestimate him?

Who can ignore a new film by a director like this?
Especially since the screenwriter of "The Blade of the Assassin" is also director Zhou Qing, it adds an extra layer of assurance to the film.

Everyone knows that if nothing unexpected happens, "The Blade of the Assassin" will definitely be another hit.

But it seems like there are too many martial arts movies this year.

Li Lianjie + Liu Yifei's "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" has not yet been completed, and the star-studded "The Four" is about to start filming.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Qing Pictures also launched a martial arts film?

Well, every one of them counts, and they are all blockbusters!
So which of these martial arts blockbusters will be the biggest hit?

Although Lu Yang's first two films achieved extremely impressive results, everyone still thinks that "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" is more marketable.

After all, the cast of this movie is really incomparable to other movies.

The director is the famous Xu Ke, the leading actor is Li Lianjie, one of the top male actors in the Chinese entertainment industry, and the leading actress is top-tier Liu Yifei.

With such a lineup, even "The Blade of the Assassin" would pale in comparison.

However, compared with "The Four", everyone thinks "Knife of the Assassin" may have some advantages.

In any case, this is also a movie produced by Zhou Qing Pictures.

A definite hit.

"Director Lu!"

"Director Lu!"

The actors in the circle could no longer remain calm and started jumping up and down as usual.

I just want to get a role in "The Sword of the Assassin", even if it's a supporting role. (End of this chapter)
