World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Hengdian.

In a certain hotel.

"Xing Zai, except Xu Wenfeng, all the other actors are in place."

Tian Qiwen knocked on the door of Zhou Xingxing's room and came in to report.

"Let's go and meet."

In the room, Zhou Xingxing was reading the script with his reading glasses on. Even if the script was perfected, he would still study it habitually. Not to mention that it hadn't been filmed yet. Even during filming, as long as he found a better idea, he would revise it immediately.

Hearing this, he stood up and prepared to meet the actor.

This is the basic operation of being a director.

"Xingzi, your temper has changed a lot now."

Tian Qiwen, who was following Zhou Xingxing, looked at this old acquaintance of decades and was not angry at all, and smiled unexpectedly.

From Tian Qiwen's point of view, it is normal for Zhou Xingxing to just tell people to leave, not to mention getting angry.

"Wenzai, I know what you mean. Of course I don't like the behavior of actors. However, Director Qin promised to make up for the excess budget unconditionally. Moreover, the mainland market is huge, and I am old. It is hard to say how much appeal I will have.

, after all, you also know the box office of the last movie [Yangtze River No. 7]."

When Zhou Xingxing faced his assistant for many years, he did not hide his thoughts and stated them directly.

He is taciturn, but he is not a fool.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I'm really old and it's hard to even be a starring role. Xu Wenfeng can become popular, even if it delays the filming, it will be good for the movie box office."

"Future movie box office will mainly depend on the mainland, and the more popular Xu Wenfeng is in the mainland, the better."

Of course Tian Qiwen knew this, but he thought Zhou Xingxing would get angry.

This person, how should I put it, sometimes is that kind of iron-faced judge for the sake of movies, he is too selfless.

This kind of person, from the perspective of acquaintances, is the kind of ruthless person.

The more familiar we are, the less we like such people, they are too serious.

This is also the reason why Zhou Xingxing doesn’t have many friends in the circle. Instead, he has many enemies. Not really enemies, he is the kind of person who likes to say some specious things to the media and ridicule Zhou Xingxing.

"You have really changed a lot."

"You have to admit it when you get old. Isn't it normal that you have changed?"

Zhou Xingxing knew what his old friend meant, so he replied and silently led the way to meet the actors.

"Are you old?"

Tian Qiwen muttered silently in his heart.

Just looking at the back of Zhou Xingxing in front of him, with his head full of gray hair, I suddenly felt an unspeakable feeling in my heart.

The man who used to be laughing and joking and crazy in the movie, without realizing it, could not even see his black hair.

Now with a head full of gray and white hair, it is really hard to imagine that the high-spirited person in the movie not long ago has become what he is now.

This time, I originally chose to start filming in Yunnan, an ancient city in Jinning, with several lakes nearby, and the scenes were all set up.

Because Xu Wenfeng was absent, we had to come to Hengdian for filming first.

The plan was completely disrupted. If it were Zhou Xingxing in the past, there would definitely be a big fire.

But this time, he chose to treat it calmly. This situation surprised Tian Qiwen, which was inevitable.

Just looking at Zhou Xingxing's gray hair from behind, Tian Qiwen was speechless.

...

"Miss Liu."

"Director Zhou."

Liu Xianxian didn't expect Zhou Xingxing to leave her alone, and she felt uneasy.

There are many external reports about this legendary actor. He is a serious and realistic director when filming. It is said that he is a very strict director.

"take it easy."

What is Zhou Xingxing's background? He is an actor.

With Liu Xianxian's look, you can understand the other person's heart just by looking at him.

I didn’t expect that my reputation would be so great that I could scare young actors.

"I left you alone because I have something to tell you."

After meeting the members of the crew and talking on the phone, Zhou Xingxing paid special attention at the end that Liu Xianxian had something to explain.

"Director Zhou, please tell me."

"That's right, Director Qin called me a few hours ago."

Zhou Xingxing is not a person who likes to be polite, not to mention that the people in front of him are just actors from his crew, so there is no need to be polite:

"Director Qin hopes that I will join the crew, not only to teach you acting skills, but also to train you how to manage a crew, and even produce a crew."

"It seems that Director Qin has the idea to train you into a qualified film producer."

"I don't care about your relationship with Director Qin."

"Now that Director Qin has said this, whether it is for the future box office of my movie or for the friendship with Director Qin, I agree to Director Qin."

"So you have to be prepared. I'm very strict in my work. If you can't bear this kind of hardship, then ask Director Qin to tell me personally."

"do you understand?"

Liu Xianxian suddenly realized that what the man said before was true, and he really wanted her to stop being just an actress.

Within a few hours of telling her, I called Director Zhou and asked for help from this legendary actor.

"Okay, thank you, Director Zhou. I will definitely study hard. I'm not afraid of hardship."

"Be prepared to endure hardships. I won't relax my request. Have a good rest tonight. The filming will officially start tomorrow. You won't be able to relax for several months."

Zhou Xingxing nodded without comment, stood up and walked outside.

Why did Qin Dong call to say this? What is the relationship between the two of them? These Zhou Xingxing didn't care or ask.

Because of Qin Dong's current status in the industry and the status of the other party's company in the mainland.

These are all good things that have obviously helped Zhou Xingxing's company and his movies, and they are great things.

It may be an exaggeration to say that people will be punished if they don't do it for themselves.

But everyone has their own pursuits and needs in life.

Zhou Xingxing naturally had his own ideas about what happened next when he entrusted Qin Dong with his entrustment.

...

"Wenzi, you heard what I just said. I will teach you about acting skills, but as for the crew, you can take care of her from now on."

Back in his room, Zhou Xingxing explained something to his old assistant Tian Qiwen.

"Okay, Xingzi, I understand. In fact, managing the crew is not troublesome. It's just a lot of trivial matters. As long as you pay attention, you can learn it in a short time."

Tian Qiwen, who witnessed the passage, understood what Zhou Xingxing said as soon as he heard it. He nodded in agreement and then said with a smile:

"I didn't expect our Director Qin to be a compassionate person, but that's right. I've read a lot of news about him, which are all scandal reports. Although there are very few reports about local female stars, there are too many Hollywood female stars like this.

There are many intersections between these great directors."

Zhou Xingxing looked at Tian Qiwen when he heard this:

"Wenzi, how old are you, why do you still love reading gossip tabloids?"

Tian Qiwen pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled nonchalantly:

"Xingzi, what are you talking about? Men can no longer gossip when they get older."

"Director Qin's life is what I envy."

"If I had your talent, I would have dated all the female stars in Hong Kong."

Looking at the fantasy actress, the cheeky assistant with no red face and no beating heart, Zhou Xingxing shook his head speechlessly:

"Baizi, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

"Let the people in the company think about the plot of the next movie."

"Continue to use Journey to the West as the blueprint, and make magical changes."

Tian Qiwen was stunned:

"So soon? Xingzai, our new movie hasn't been shot yet?"

Zhou Xingxing seemed to understand the assistant’s thoughts and added:

"In the phone call that Director Qin made a few hours ago, he already agreed to continue to invest in my new movies, and he can sign several contracts in a row. As long as the movies are shot by me or produced by me, Director Qin's company will fully distribute them.

And there is no limit to the amount of investment. We can give up any share, and Director Qin will cover it all. As long as there is a script, the other party can even cover the entire cost."

"So you don't need to worry about it."

Tian Qiwen suddenly realized.

Although I feel that Zhou Xingxing's personality has changed, I was suspicious that Zhou Xingxing, who had a very bad temper, actually agreed to something that was beyond the limits of an actor when Zhou Xingxing said he would teach Liu Xianxian acting skills and how to manage a crew.

Has Zhou Xingxing been replaced? Only now do we know the reason.

"I see, okay, Xingzi, I understand. I will contact the people in the company to make arrangements."

"By the way, let them tinker with a few more scripts."

"It's okay, but the script must be creative. If it's not up to standard, it can't be used to embarrass people. I can't afford to be embarrassed."

Now that someone has laid the bottom line for future movie profits, I don’t need to worry about it. The more scripts the better, but Zhou Xingxing also has a bottom line, so he couldn’t help but remind him.

"Okay, Xingzi, I won't let you ruin your reputation."
