Chapter 497: Liu Yifei was pissed off, "Changjin Lake" will sweep the film chapter
Taking into account the current situation, Zhou Qing made a decision after some consideration.
Accepted the invitation of Beijing International Film Festival.
If the other party wants to use "Changjin Lake" as the opening film, then just go and show your presence.
Just think of it as warming up for the movie in advance, why not?
There is no need to worry about this matter.
What Zhou Qing was actually thinking about was something else.
The Beijing International Film Festival agreed, but what about other domestic film festivals?
Once this door is opened, how could other film festivals remain indifferent?
In the original time and space, "Changjin Lake" participated in many domestic film festivals.
"Let's talk about it then."
Zhou Qing shook his head, too lazy to think about it for the time being.
But in fact, Zhou Qing also knew a basic situation.
"The Battle at Lake Changjin" is sure to win the three major mainland awards, namely the Hundred Flowers Awards, the Golden Rooster Awards and the Huabiao Awards.
Given the special nature behind it, it really makes no sense for you not to participate.
Even if Zhou Qing looked down on mainland awards in the past and was not interested in them, he would not be so unlearned as to be such a human being.
Just go, it's no big deal.
Anyway, even if you use your thighs, you can guess that if "Changjin Lake" goes to these film festivals, it is a sure thing that it will win major awards.
This was the case in the original time and space. "Changjin Lake" won all three major awards.
Either Best Picture or Best Director, or both Best Picture and Best Director.
No one will return empty-handed.
In this case, Zhou Qing had no intention of singing a different tune.
It's not just the three major awards in the mainland, I must also participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards.
As for the Golden Horse in Taiwan, well, don’t even think about it.
Everyone knows the reason. It's their own fault and you can't blame others.
"Hello, Director Zhou, I'm Shen Haixiong..."
I just made the decision and haven’t had time to tell my assistant.
The chairman of the Beijing International Film Festival Organizing Committee called Zhou Qing directly.
That’s right, it’s the big guy above who also serves as the chairman of the organizing committee.
Given his status, he called in person to invite us, which shows how much he values "The Battle at Lake Changjin" and Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing also understood this.
Who told the whole industry to know that I haven’t participated in domestic film festivals for many years?
Although according to common sense, it is unlikely that I will continue not to participate in the Beijing Film Festival.
But who dares to gamble on this?
It would be ridiculous if an accident really happened.
"Hello, Mr. Shen..."
Zhou Qing politely chatted with the other party and accepted the invitation to the opening ceremony film.
However, Zhou Qing refused the other party's invitation to be a special guest.
The reasons for the refusal are legitimate.
Boss, I'm busy with the post-production of "Changjin Lake" and don't have the time.
Sure enough, after Shen Haixiong heard this, he stopped talking.
Instead, he told Zhou Qing to just focus on the post-production of "Changjin Lake".
"Zhou Qing Pictures' 21st year new film is released, "Annual Meetings Can't Stop" focuses on workers in the workplace."
"Zhou Qing Films' comedy film "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" has been approved, and Lu Yang is directing and Zhou is writing the script, which has aroused expectations."
"The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" was in preparation for a while and was exposed as expected.
It immediately attracted the attention of the entire entertainment industry.
There is no need to say much about the combination of Lu Yang + Zhou Qing. The films made by the two of them together are of great quality.
And without exception, all of them are hits.
Although only the title of the film has been revealed so far, no other more information has been leaked.
But who doesn’t know that this is another blockbuster movie?
Those fans and ordinary audiences all have boundless expectations for "The Annual Party Can't Stop".
As for the actors?
One by one, they began to get restless.
Even the four Dan and two soldiers were trying their best to get a piece of the pie.
Everyone knows that it is not easy to get into Director Zhou’s movies, because when you reach Director Zhou’s level, you really don’t care about the rules of the circle at all.
For example, the actor’s status, the operations of the agency behind him, some common unspoken rules, etc.
Director Zhou does not need to comply.
With Director Zhou's extraordinary status in the industry, he does have the confidence to do so.
Although the entire circle was unhappy, they could only watch and do nothing.
Director Zhou has only one requirement for casting: suitability.
On this basis, I prefer Nortel, that's all.
This is certainly great news for many other unknown actors.
But for many big names who got roles through capital operations, it’s really not so good.
Because it means they no longer have an advantage and can only compete fairly with others.
How fucked up is this kind of thing?
But as for those new films directed by Zhou Qing, many actors have put in all their efforts and are ready to give a big performance.
But unfortunately, it didn’t take long for many people in the circle to find out.
The male lead of "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" has been decided, and it is Huang Bo from Zhou Qing Pictures.
In this regard, everyone can do nothing but envy Huang Bo for being lucky enough to sign with Zhou Qing Pictures.
But there is good news.
The heroine is a young girl, and Zhou Qing Pictures didn't have any suitable candidate at all.
As for the heroine, Lu Yang would definitely choose someone from outside.
Hi.
All the actresses in the circle were excited.
……
"Director Sun, can my requests be completed within two months?"
Zhou Qing was too lazy to care about the matter of "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop". His main work was still the post-production of "The Battle at Lake Changjin".
Special effects shots are an extremely important part of post-production work.
That’s right, a lot of special effects shots were used in the battle in “Changjin Lake”.
Of course, those special effects shots are relatively simple and there is no need to find a foreign team.
The domestic team can complete the task with guaranteed quality and quantity.
Zhou Qing immediately met with the top domestic team and had some detailed communication.
"It's a bit stressful, but don't worry, Director Zhou, there will be no problem."
The technical director didn't hesitate at all. He patted his chest and made a solemn promise.
Are you kidding? This is Director Zhou, the top client in the entire industry.
No matter how hard others beg, it won’t come true.
Then you have to serve me even if it costs your life, right?
The amount of money is secondary. For their company, it is an extremely dazzling resume.
Having even made the special effects for "The Battle at Lake Changjin", what kind of movies can't they take on in the future?
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Sun."
The two sides briefly communicated on some other related issues before Zhou Qing returned to Zhou Qing Pictures.
Zhou Qing Pictures couldn’t handle the special effects shots, but apart from the special effects, Zhou Qing Pictures could handle all other post-production work by itself.
Even Zhou Qing Pictures' post-production team is the top team in the entire industry.
In addition, this team has been under Zhou Qing's leadership for many years and has already developed a tacit understanding with Zhou Qing.
If you can accurately understand Zhou Qing's meaning, your efficiency will naturally be three points higher.
Zhou Qing was still quite satisfied.
Based on the current circumstances, he believes that the post-production of "Changjin Lake" can be completed in 4 months.
There was no need to be too tense. Even Zhou Qing didn't need to work overtime. He just had to get off work on time and go home on time every day.
How wonderful it is to be able to work and at the same time spend some time alone with your girlfriend?
"Xixi, there are guests at home..."
But when he returned home this time, Zhou Qing found that there was a girl at home, and he was chatting and laughing with her intimately.
I took another closer look and found that it was an old acquaintance.
Shu Chang, Liu Yifei’s good sister for many years.
"Oh, it's singing, what a rare guest."
Zhou Qing and Shu Chang were also quite familiar with each other, and they joked with a smile.
"You two are so loving and affectionate, how could I dare to disturb you normally? I don't have the guts to be Director Zhou's light bulb."
Shu Chang joked with Zhou Qing with a relaxed look on his face.
Firstly, the other party was really familiar with Zhou Qing, and secondly, Shu Chang’s career ambition had faded.
In fact, Shu Chang has been seriously out of fashion in recent years, and the resources he can get have dropped drastically. Shu Chang is very open-minded about it and does not force it.
Instead, he lives his little life comfortably and happily every day.
Otherwise, given the relationship between her and Liu Yifei, it would be very easy for her to get resources from Zhou Qing Films.
But Shu Chang has never walked the path of Liu Yifei.
As for Zhou Qing, he asked for nothing more.
The mentality is certainly different.
"You are wrong. When you come here, I am the light bulb."
Zhou Qing smiled and took off his coat and hung it up.
"It's good that you know it. Sing it and sleep with me today."
The girl covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.
"Director Zhou, can I borrow your Sissi for one night?"
Shu Chang also looked at Zhou Qing with a smile.
"Our Sissi looks like she's going to hit me if I don't agree. What else can I say?"
Zhou Qing deliberately acted helpless.
They immediately started talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. I won't be a light bulb anymore."
After eating and drinking, seeing that it was about time, Shu Chang said goodbye.
It was not really as she said that she would stay and spend the night with Liu Yifei.
If Liu Yifei hadn't gotten married, there would certainly be no problem.
But now the girl has been married for many years, so it’s not appropriate to do this.
"Sing a little, and come sit more often in the future."
Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei did not try to keep Shu Chang, and politely said goodbye to him.
"Why are you here?"
It was not until Shu Chang left that Zhou Qing straightened his face and asked Liu Yifei.
He is not a fool. It is obvious that Shu Chang came here for something.
Although Shu Chang didn't mention it after Zhou Qing came, it was obvious that the other party must have spoken to Liu Yifei before he went home.
"Don't mention it. This singing is going to piss me off to death."
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but when Zhou Qing asked this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but start complaining crazily.
It turned out that Shu Chang came here for his cousin.
In Lu Yang’s new film “Don’t Stop the Annual Meeting”, there is a young outsourced programmer whose identity is set as a post-00s.
It is completely consistent with the cousin that Shu Chang played.
The other party was just trying to make connections on behalf of his cousin.
After hearing this, Zhou Qing was also speechless.
"The door has squeezed Changchang's brain. Didn't she say she wasn't familiar with her?"
Zhou Qing also complained crazily.
Shu Chang and the other cousin have apparently fallen out.
Shu Chang cleared all Weibo posts related to the other party in 16. When the cousin was interviewed, she also openly claimed that she was not familiar with her cousin.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Qing really didn't expect that Shu Chang would be persuaded by the other party again to act as a lobbyist.
You know, Shu Chang has never taken this path for himself.
Now you come here for such an ungrateful person?
Zhou Qing was speechless.
"You won't agree to sing?"
After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he immediately asked Liu Yifei for confirmation.
Frankly speaking, he had no intention of using Shu Chang's cousin, even if Shu Chang used his connections.
There was no other reason. The other person's character was really bad and he had a lot of negative information about him. Zhou Qing really didn't have any good impression of him.
Even if we put all these aside, the other party's house will collapse in the future.
How could Zhou Qing use it?
But if Liu Yifei agreed, Zhou Qing would have no choice.
This is my wife, I can’t slap her in the face in public.
Fortunately, Liu Yifei is not that unreliable.
"Of course I didn't agree. I have to discuss this kind of thing with you in advance."
Liu Yifei said as a matter of course, and then quickly reacted, "You don't want to agree to sing?"
In Liu Yifei's opinion, the cousin played by Shu Chang meets the requirements of the role.
It's just that the acting is a bit poor.
But acting skills are not that important in commercial films.
It's a rare opportunity for Shu Chang to speak, so it's almost there.
"Is Changchang stupid? You're still helping her after she's been backstabbed once? If she can backstab you once, she will backstab you a second time."
"Tell Changchang that she can play any role she wants, and forget about the others."
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and said this to Liu Yifei.
"Now that you mention it, I also think singing is pretty silly."
Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.
Even after being publicly backstabbed, he still came to help the other party to use his connections. This is an unusual way of thinking.
It’s a good thing that Zhou Qing doesn’t agree.
For such a precious favor, the girl naturally hopes that Shu Chang can make good use of it.
It's such a waste to use it on that ungrateful cousin.
"But Zhou Qing, there aren't many suitable actors for the role of Penny."
Without discussing Shu Chang anymore, Liu Yifei started talking about movie roles with great interest.
Looking at the entire industry, there are very few actresses born after 00 who can come up with something worth mentioning.
One of them is Zhang Zifeng, who previously starred in Zhou Qing's "The Wandering Earth".
In addition, Zhao Jinmai is also okay.
But Liu Yifei couldn't remember anything else.
Of course, Shu Chang’s cousin is actually pretty good, but who asked Zhou Qing to ruthlessly reject her?
"Let Lu Yang worry about this problem. He is the director of the movie."
Zhou Qing smiled and had no intention of thinking deeply about it.
Zhuang Dafei’s performance in the original movie was actually pretty good, but it’s hard to say whether Lu Yang will use her again this time.
It's even unlikely that two different directors would choose the same actor.
Zhou Qing was actually quite curious about which actor Lu Yang would choose. (End of this chapter)
