World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"I want to get involved in the casting of Director Zhou's movie."

Qin Dong also replied bluntly.

"Is it that simple?"

Zhou Xingxing asked.

"It's that simple."

Qin Dong nodded in affirmation.

"Oh, I didn't expect Director Qin to spend so much effort and money to praise your company's artists."

Zhou Xingxing did not expect this condition.

After all, the guarantee is 800 million. This is gambling in nature, just for the purpose of casting. If the movie loses money, how much money will Qin Dong lose?

Although Zhou Xingxing objects to outsiders including investors intervening in casting, this is reality. The reality is that investors have the right to intervene in casting and even arrange roles. This is the reality in the entertainment industry.

"hehe..."

Qin Dong laughed when he heard this.

Is it possible that he can say that I know your movie will have a box office of more than 1.2 billion in the future? Maybe this time because of my intervention, it may exceed 1.2 billion, and the probability of this is very high.

Qin Dong would not say such a thing. Instead, he smiled and looked at Zhou Xingxing and said:

"Director Zhou, I believe my artists can bring me more money."

"What's more, this movie has the reputation of director Zhou, and with our company leading the distribution, I think the probability of losing money at the box office is very small."

"I believe in Director Zhou. Doesn't Director Zhou believe in himself?"

Zhou Xingxing shook his head helplessly and laughed. What should he say?

He used to have many movies that hit the street, even in his peak years.

There were two Westward Journey movies, which were Zhou Xingxing's favorite, and he even invested in them. Unfortunately, even though Zhou Xingxing liked the script very much, he not only invested money, but also invited many friends to star in it. Who would have thought that after it was released, the box office would directly exceed

He was heartbroken.

Those who rush to the street can no longer rush to the street. Fortunately, my grandma's family has no food left.

"Director Qin, which roles do you want to intervene in the casting of?"

Zhou Xingxing didn't want to answer Qin Dong's words, so he changed the subject and asked.

Yes, Zhou Xingxing is very confident, but sometimes he is not confident.

Regarding the box office, his experience over the years has taught him that nothing is 100% certain.

"I don't know Director Zhou's script, but it's probably the male and female protagonists."

Qin Dong thought about it for a moment, and realized that some things should not be too straightforward, but should be subtle, so that no one would think that he knew the script:

"Director Zhou interviewed Xu Wenfeng. He told me that he was here to audition for the male lead. His age made me guess that the female lead is not too old either."

"In this case, Director Zhou, what do you think of the male and female protagonists, Xu Wenfeng and Liu Xianxian?"

Zhou Xingxing frowned slightly when he heard this, looked at Qin Dong and said:

"Xu Wenfeng, I auditioned, and if it weren't for some other reasons, he really fits the role and his acting skills are adequate."

"It's just Liu Xianxian that Director Qin said, right?"

Qin Dong was stunned, but he put it away in an instant.

I don’t know Liu Xianxian, it’s so normal, this is very Zhou Xingxing, this person mostly lives in his own world.

Moreover, Liu Xianxian is famous among the new generation. In terms of acting skills, her acting skills are not very good.

What's more, there are so many artists in the entertainment industry, and it's normal not to know anyone, unless you are a big shot like Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, or Chow Yun-fat.

"Liu Xianxian is a new artist signed by our company, and he is also my friend, a very good friend."

The words "very good friends" were emphasized by Qin Dong, and I believe Zhou Xingxing can understand them.

"oh..."

As expected, Zhou Xingxing looked at Qin Dong more. He is an actor, and he is an actor with very good acting skills.

It was easy to distinguish the fluctuations in Qin Dong's tone, and he immediately understood what Qin Dong meant.

This unknown artist named Liu Xianxian has a deep relationship with Qin Dong in front of him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xingxing thought of the former Zixia.

At that time, he also had the same relationship with Zixia, but unfortunately...

There was once a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it.

You only regret it when you lose it. The most painful thing in the world is this.

If God can give me a chance again, I will say three words to you, "I love you."

If I had to add a time limit to this love, I hope it would be ten thousand years!

only...

Once upon a time, it was difficult to overcome the difficulties...

"Okay, since Director Qin said this, why not let this good friend of yours come to audition. I have to see how her acting skills are."

Zhou Xingxing thought of Zixia, and suddenly his desire to talk faded away.

He didn't take it seriously. After all, Qin Dongneng could do this for his "good" friend, which made Zhou Xingxing feel confused.

Zixia was once his favorite.

It's a pity that the two of them didn't know why the final result was like this.

"good."

Qin Dong smiled and agreed, but he was just beating the drum in his heart. After all, Liu Xianxian's acting skills are beyond words.

As for Zhou Xingxing in front of me, he is a famous actor. After turning into a director, his requirements for actors are also very high.

I have read news reports that Zhou Xingxing has a good temper in private, but once he takes the position of director, he has a very bad temper. This is also a common trait of many great directors in the world. I have heard many reports that Zhou Xingxing scolded and cried actors on the set.

occur.

Especially if your acting skills are not good enough, just wait to be scolded.

Thinking of this, Qin Dong couldn't hold back and started to say something wrong:

"Director Zhou, actually actors, this acting skill can be taught well."

"As a director, I know very well what the crew needs."

"So, Director Zhou, if our contract is reached, I won't rush you. You can shoot as long as you want."

"Even if the funds for subsequent movies are insufficient and need to be increased, that's no problem, it's just a matter of words."

"As long as it is a reasonable demand, my company will satisfy your film crew."

The more Zhou Xingxing listened, the more wrong he became. After Qin Dong finished speaking, he immediately asked:

"Director Qin, tell me the truth, how is this actor named Liu Xianxian's acting skills?"

Qin Dong's words made Zhou Xingxing feel very bad. This meant saying good things in advance. It meant that this woman's acting skills might be poor, which was not in line with Zhou Xingxing's expectations.

"The acting is very good."

Qin Dong said bravely, but he couldn't say it was bad:

"Liu Xianxian once starred in a movie with Li Jie and Jack Cheng. I wonder if Director Zhou has any impressions of it."

"Anyway, my acting skills are fine. I just need Director Zhou to give me some patience and give me good guidance."

"I believe that with the personal guidance of an acting master like Director Zhou, all problems will be no longer a problem."

Zhou Xingxing looked at Qin Dong intently. Zhou Xingxing was noncommittal. He must have lied to children. He shook his head and said no more about this issue:

"Director Qin, we are here today."

"Tomorrow I will ask someone to take you to see the scenery of Hong Kong Island."

"You can ask Liu Xianxian to come over and audition."

"As for what we are talking about, I want to think about it for a few days."

Qin Dong smiled and agreed upon hearing this, what else could he do?

The person in front of me is not a pawn, he can be manipulated by himself.

"Okay, then I will ask Liu Xianxian to come over tomorrow."

Thinking of the many things he had to do next, and having taken Liu Sisi on a trip to Hong Kong Island last time, I really had no desire to watch it again.

Coupled with my current status, I am no longer suitable for it. I was not very famous in the past and was followed by paparazzi. With my current status, I guess there will be paparazzi everywhere I go. Traveling is not interesting at all.

"Okay, Director Qin, I'll take you to the hotel and make a reservation for you."

Zhou Xingxing stood up first.

"Thank you, Director Zhou."

Qin Dong smiled and thanked him.

Qin Dong would not refuse to accept people's kindness as landlords.

It doesn't matter where you stay, I don't think you will have to arrange a small hotel when you come to Zhou Xingxing.

"Director Qin is here. I am a landlord, and this is what I should do."

Zhou Xingxing and Qin Dong walked out of the private room and replied.

"Ha ha..."

Qin Dong smiled and nodded.
