Chapter 368: Missing the No. 1 Director in Chinese Entertainment, the Super Dark Horse that Came to

Chapter 368: Missing the first director of Chinese entertainment, the super dark horse that came to the door

As for the specific time to get the certificate, my parents also gave enthusiastic suggestions.

The two elders have only one principle: the earlier the better.

However, Zhou Qing could only helplessly spread his hands to the two elders, fearing that their wishes could not be fulfilled.

It's already the end of March, and he'll have to stay at home for two more days, so it must be April.

According to Zhou Qing's plan, "The Revenant" will start filming in May.

It's impossible to hand over all the corresponding preparatory work to others, right?
This means that Zhou Qing cannot stay in Beijing for long and will probably have to return to America in early April.

You can't just take advantage of this opportunity to get the certificate?

Therefore, it is unlikely to get the certificate in the first half of the year and you will have to wait until the second half of the year.

At the very least, we have to wait until "The Revenant" is finished, right?
That is to say, after August.

Even if it is not completed later, it does not matter. After all, it does not take long to get a certificate and it will not delay anything.

"After August? Why is it taking so long?"

My parents complained for a while, and finally accepted it reluctantly.

Then they got together to discuss for a long time and selected several auspicious days for Zhou Qing, and told him to go back and choose one with Liu Yifei.

This was naturally no problem, and Zhou Qing readily agreed.

"Take these back and eat them slowly. There is no such thing in the capital."

"Also, these are for Yifei's family."

"These are for Yifei alone."

"Hurry up and go back, set a date, and get the certificate."

After staying in his hometown until April 4, Zhou Qing said goodbye to his parents.

The two elders knew that Zhou Qing was very busy at work and did not try to keep him. They just kept stuffing big and small packages at him.

Zhou Qing naturally did not refuse and accepted all the orders.

Zhou Qing also handed over everything that his parents specifically asked him to give to Liu Yifei.

"Uncle and aunt are so kind to me."

The girl was also very happy, with smiles all over her face.

Although those things are not very valuable local specialties, they are full of heart.

"More than that, in my opinion, you are their biological child."

Zhou Qing just laughed.

"That's good to know. I have someone to back me up now. Let's see if you dare to bully me in the future."

Liu Yifei became more confident and raised her chin towards Zhou Qing provocatively.

"How dare I? You are the boss from now on!"

Zhou Qing was very sensible and surrendered immediately.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Liu Yifei folded her arms and nodded in an air of superiority.

Snapped!
Zhou Qing's slap landed on the girl's butt again.

"But this doesn't count as bullying, right?"

Zhou Qing smiled slyly.

After playing around for a while, Zhou Qing started talking to Liu Yifei about getting the marriage certificate.

Both parties reached a consensus on getting the marriage certificate after August, and the girl had no objection.

But I'm too lazy to think about the specific auspicious day.

The decision was left to Liu Xiaoli to make.

Zhou Qing naturally had no objection to this.

"My mother said that October 10 is a good day, which means perfection."

Liu Yifei quickly gave corresponding feedback.

January 10?

good!
Zhou Qing agreed happily.

So what about the specific wedding ceremony?

Liu Xiaoli was not so anxious about this matter. After all, they were a legal couple after getting the certificate.

Rituals and the like are just icing on the cake.

What's more, Liu Xiaoli's original intention was for the two to have a secret marriage and keep it as low-key as possible.

After Zhou Qing finishes filming "The Revenant", we can choose a date next year.

Zhou Qing didn't have any objection, so he talked it over with his parents, and the two families reached an agreement.

"Director Zhou, I went to Beijing Film Academy a few days ago and talked to Director Xue. She can't spare the time to shoot Time Travel Together this year."

After returning to Zhou Qing Pictures, Director Chen reported this incident to Zhou Qing.

"I see."

Zhou Qing nodded lightly without saying anything more.

Since Xue Xiaolu still doesn’t have time to shoot, then forget it and don’t wait for her.

Let Lu Yang shoot "Time Raiders".

However, what Zhou Qing did not expect was that the plan did not change quickly, and Director Chen soon reported another matter to him.

"Director Zhou, there is a film project that I think might interest you."

Director Chen spoke to Zhou Qing mysteriously.

In fact, although Zhou Qing Pictures basically shoots Zhou Qing’s own scripts, it rarely invests in other films.

But in fact, Zhou Qing Pictures also has film and television investment business.

Every year, many producers, directors and other filmmakers come to Zhou Qing Pictures to seek investment.

It’s just that most projects are not reliable, or some of the reliable ones are not as good as Zhou Qing’s own projects.

Therefore, Zhou Qing Pictures does not invest in many films.

But it’s not like nothing.

For example, didn’t Zhou Qing invest in “The Return of the Great Sage”, a movie with great potential, without hesitation?
If he encounters such a film project again, Zhou Qing will definitely invest in it.

But the problem is that I have never encountered it before.

This is not a strange thing.

Aren’t most of the good film projects grabbed in advance by Zhou Qing, the reborn person?

I just don’t know what film project Director Chen is interested in at the moment?

Zhou Qing's curiosity was really aroused.

"Are you still keeping me in suspense? Tell me, what movie project is it?"

Zhou Qing just smiled and asked Director Chen a question.

"I wonder if you, Director Zhou, know about the deeds of a cartoonist named Xiong Dun?"

Director Chen raised his eyebrows and asked Zhou Qing with interest.

Bear shield?

That's too much to know.

Especially for Zhou Qing, who was a reborn person, it was even clearer.

A highly acclaimed dark horse movie in 15, Go Away Tumor, was adapted from Xiong Dun's deeds.

Of course, even in this era, Bear Shield is still very famous.

The other party was diagnosed with a tumor in August 11, but he faced it positively and optimistically, and drew a cartoon about his experience of fighting the disease.

The name of the comic is "Go Away! Tumor-kun, recording the days in the hospital fighting cancer."

After its launch on Weibo and Tianya, it quickly sparked widespread discussion.

Many netizens were moved by the strong girl Xiong Dun.

Among them is Tang Juan, the producer of "Go Away Tumor".

However, compared to other netizens, Tang Juan decided to make a movie based on Xiong Dun's deeds.

The other party not only obtained Xiong Dun's authorization as soon as possible, but also brought Xiong Dun into the script discussion.

It’s a pity that during this process, Xiong Dun was ultimately unable to defeat the disease and passed away with great regret.

Tang Juan formed a team and continued to adapt the comic "Mr. Tumor", and finally completed the script after more than a year.

However, reality poured cold water on Tang Juan.

When she took the script to look for investment, she ran into obstacles everywhere.

Investors generally do not think highly of the script of "Mr. Tumor" because it is not story-based enough, is too daily, has no love storyline, and has a tragic ending.

This kind of story, frankly speaking, is not in line with the market.

Basically all interested investors asked Tang Juan to change the script.

Increase the male lead's role, add a love line, change the ending to bring the protagonist back to life, and so on.

But they were all rejected by Tang Juan.

Because Tang Juan promised Xiong Dun that he would respect the comics and not make those clichéd, melodramatic movies.

What Zhou Qing didn't expect was that Tang Juan also found Zhou Qing Pictures and Director Chen.

Although Director Chen also felt that the script brought by Tang Juan was average, considering that Zhou Qing has always been keen on adaptation, he still made a special report to Zhou Qing.

"The original author of "Go Away Tumor"? Of course I know. Is this related to her?"

Although Zhou Qing knew everything about this, he pretended to be confused at this time.

"Since Director Zhou knows this, that's great..."

Director Chen explained the whole process to Zhou Qing.

"Producer Tang came here? How did you respond to her?"

Zhou Qing had already made up his mind, but he still asked calmly.

"I said we'll think about it for a few days and then give her an answer. I asked her to keep the script. Director Zhou, do you want to take a look?"

Director Chen asked Zhou Qing for his opinion.

"Bring it here."

Zhou Qing nodded without thinking.

Director Chen quickly delivered the script of "Go Away, Tumor Man" to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing quickly glanced through it and found that it was the script of that classic movie, so he was completely relieved.

"Tell Producer Tang that we have invested in this movie."

Zhou Qing made the decision on the spot without any hesitation.

The investment of "Go Away Tumor King" was only 4000 million, but the total box office was as high as 5 million.

A definite dark horse.

What’s even more rare is that the rating on Douban is as high as 7.4 points.

A high-quality film project that has achieved great success in both word-of-mouth and box office.

Now that it has been offered to my door, how can I not accept it?
"clear."

Director Chen immediately took the order and began to push forward the matter.

"Hello, Director Zhou."

"Hello, Producer Tang."

Just the next day, Tang Juan, the producer of "Mr. Tumor", sat in front of Zhou Qing.

The two sides conducted further communication on some follow-up related matters of "Mr. Tumor".

During the period, Zhou Qing did not hesitate to praise the script of "Mr. Tumor", which surprised Tang Juan, delighted and secretly excited.

It's rare. It's really difficult.

Director Zhou was also the first investor she had ever met who greatly appreciated the script and had no intention of changing it.

Before coming to Zhou Qing Pictures, Tang Juan was actually quite worried about this.

Now it seems that I was totally overthinking it.

Director Zhou didn’t mean that at all.

As expected, he is Director Zhou!

It turns out that only Director Zhou can discover the shining points of "Mr. Tumor"!

Tang Juan was really excited.

Coming to Director Zhou's place is really the right place.

"Producer Tang, you don't have to look for other investors. I, Zhou Qing Pictures, will invest all the money needed for Mr. Tumor."

Zhou Qing also expressed his intention to produce the product exclusively.

This made Tang Juan almost slap his thigh.

Awesome! Director Zhou is really awesome.

Now, the most difficult funding problem has been completely solved.

Then the two sides talked about some other things, and Tang Juan also specifically mentioned that if she wanted to play the female lead, she would choose Bai Baihe.

It’s not because the female artists under Zhou Qing Pictures are not good enough, but because Bai Baihe was designated by Xiong Dun during his lifetime.

Considering this reason, Zhou Qing didn't say much.

Even though he knew that Bai Baihe's reputation would fall in the future and he deliberately replaced Bai Baihe when filming "Love Is Not Blind", he still acquiesced to Bai Baihe at this moment.

Since it was Xiong Dun's last wish, Zhou Qing thought it would be better for him to respect it.

"As for the director, I plan to ask Director Lu Yang to direct it. What do you think, Director Zhou?"

However, Tang Juan was not completely unkind, so he still chose the director from Zhou Qing Pictures as the director.

After all, they paid so much money, you can't just completely ignore them, right?

What's more, Tang Juan has seen all the films shot by Lu Yang, and he is indeed an excellent director.

He is fully capable of directing "Mr. Tumor".

Of course, the most ideal candidate in Tang Juan’s mind is still Zhou Qing.

This is the number one director in Chinese entertainment.

But Tang Juan also knew that with Zhou Qing's current rank, she could not possibly hire him.

Not to mention that Zhou Qing is currently preparing for the new film "The Revenant", it turns out that Zhou Qing has never taken on any foreign film.

All the movies directed by the other party were written by himself!
There are no exceptions.

Therefore, Tang Juan had to miss out on this opportunity to become the top director in Chinese entertainment industry and had to settle for the next best thing.

Fortunately, Lu Yang himself is quite reliable.

"Luyang is fine."

Zhou Qing naturally had no objection and agreed happily.

Since Tang Juan was planning to have Lu Yang shoot Go Away Tumor, then it would be fine to postpone Time Travel or Nobody.

Anyway, these two films were released in 18, so there is still time.

It’s not too late to get “Mr. Tumor” out first.

The two sides communicated briefly about some other things, and Zhou Qing sent Tang Juan away.

As for the subsequent specific matters, Director Chen can handle them, and Zhou Qing doesn't need to worry about them anymore.

Counting the time, it is already April 4th, and the matters at Zhou Qing Pictures have been almost dealt with.

Then it’s time to return to Crown Pictures.

But before that, Zhou Qing had another thing to do.

whats the matter?
Go and take a look at "The Return of the Great Sage" to see how far this potential dark horse animated film has come.

Tian Xiaopeng said at the beginning that the film would be ready in 14.

"Director Zhou, please come in!"

After the two sides met up, Tian Xiaopeng and Jin Dayong received Zhou Qing very politely.

The two were grateful to Zhou Qing, their big money sponsor, from the bottom of their hearts.

“This is our current team…”

The two took Zhou Qing on a detailed tour of the company and introduced the current progress to Zhou Qing in detail.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

Tian Xiaopeng and Jin Dayong are indeed reliable and down-to-earth people.

This is also the reason why Zhou Qing is so confident in this team.

"It's about 90% complete now. If nothing goes wrong, Director Zhou will be able to see the finished film in October."

Tian Xiaopeng also told Zhou Qing some relevant information truthfully.

September?

Zhou Qing nodded, knowing what was going on, and did not raise any objections.

Instead, I reviewed the current "rough cut" of the film with great interest.

Although it is only 90% completed, I have to say that it is already very exciting.

Zhou Qing is still looking forward to the day when the finished film comes out.
