Of course, then again, Zhu Yawen has already starred in two films directed by Zhou Qing himself, so he should be satisfied.

There are more than one artist under Zhou Qing Pictures, so it’s not good to always have the most out of him, right?

What’s more, it’s just a supporting role, so if he doesn’t get it, then he doesn’t get it.

Zhu Yawen quickly adjusted his mentality.

However, what Zhu Yawen didn’t know was that in the future, he would regret it so much that his intestines would almost turn green.

“The Wandering Earth” is also a series!

The supporting character in the first part becomes the protagonist in the second part!

I really regret it.

“Hello, Director Zhou. I’m Zi Feng’s agent, Sheng Xue. It’s such an honor for our Zi Feng to have this opportunity to audition!”

Zhang Zifeng made time immediately and followed his agent to the audition.

He looked extremely excited and couldn’t keep calm at all.

Come to think of it, this is Director Zhou’s new film.

It is a science fiction blockbuster adapted from “The Wandering Earth” of the same name.

It is definitely the most important top-level film project in the industry at present, no doubt about it.

Looking at all the actors in the circle, every one of them is trying their best to get a piece of the pie.
Zhang Zifeng is no exception!
Being able to act in a movie directed by Zhou Qing herself is definitely the ultimate dream of every actor in the Chinese entertainment industry.

But Zhang Zifeng actually understood that all this was too far away from him.

Although she is somewhat famous in the circle, her overall level is far behind.

In front of Director Zhou, it’s not worth mentioning at all.

Who would have thought that I would suddenly receive an invitation from Director Zhou to audition for the role of the female lead.

God have mercy on me, Zhang Zifeng couldn’t believe it the moment he got the news.

I thought I was dreaming.

“Hello, Director Zhou. I admire you very much. I have seen all the movies you have made. My biggest dream is to be able to act in one of your movies, even if it is just a small role.”

Zhang Zifeng immediately greeted Zhou Qing, feeling surprised, happy, and a little embarrassed.

It seemed like the fans had met their idols.

“Then you can dream bigger. Han Duoduo is the heroine… Sit down.”

Zhou Qing smiled and invited Zhang Zifeng and the other party’s agent to sit down.

“Director Zhou, Zifeng is not exaggerating at all. You are her idol. She has told me more than once that she wants to apply to Beijing Film Academy…”

In front of Zhou Qing, Sheng Xue described Zhang Zifeng’s admiration for Zhou Qing in an exaggerated manner.

Zhou Qing responded with a few words and smiled, and the chat was quite pleasant.

“Zi Feng still has great potential. She performed very well in Aftershock and was equally impressive in Detective Chinatown.”

Zhou Qing naturally praised Zhang Zifeng a few words.

Zhang Zifeng was immediately so happy that his eyes narrowed into a line.

In fact, she has no idea how many times she has heard similar compliments since she entered the industry, but can Director Zhou’s praise be the same as that of others?
Completely different, okay.

“With Zi Feng’s acting skills, crying scenes shouldn’t be a problem, so let’s do a crying scene right away.”

“It doesn’t need to be complicated, just a crying scene like when my grandfather dies unexpectedly.”

After the prelude, Zhou Qing also gave Zhang Zifeng a brief audition.

It has to be said that Zhang Zifeng’s performance was really good, which made Zhou Qing extremely satisfied.

Although she is only 17 years old and has not received any special training, Zhang Zifeng’s acting skills are better than some popular stars, even much better.

It can fully meet the acting requirements of some commercial films.

There is a saying that is often mentioned in the entertainment industry, “The ancestors give you the food you want to eat”, and Zhang Zifeng is obviously this type of person.

Since the other party completely met Zhou Qing’s requirements, Zhou Qing simply made the decision.

Just use Zhang Zifeng.

There will be no audition for Zhao Jinmai and the like.

“Go back and prepare. The filming of The Wandering Earth is expected to start in early August. Read the script carefully.”

Zhou Qing immediately gave Zhang Zifeng an affirmative answer.

Both Zhang Zifeng and her agent Sheng Xue were so excited that they almost jumped up on the spot.

I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it.

Zhang Zifeng really got the leading female role in director Zhou’s new film.

God.

This is really going to heaven!
To put it bluntly, this role really brought Zhang Zifeng to the peak of his career.

“Director Zhou, don’t worry. I will definitely perform well.”

After calming down for a long time, Zhang Zifeng made a solemn promise to Zhou Qing.

“Hello Director Zhou, I’m Zhang Wanyi, from Beijing Film Academy.”

Zhang Wanyi, the male lead candidate that Zhou Qing favored, also came to Zhou Qing for an audition.

Unlike Zhang Zifeng who will be admitted to Beijing Film Academy in the future, Zhang Wanyi has been a student of Beijing Film Academy since 13.

Definitely Zhou Qing’s descendant.

With this kind of relationship in place, Zhou Qing naturally had a pleasant chat with the other party.

Zhou Qing also conducted a corresponding audition of Zhang Wanyi, and the other party’s performance was also very capable and there was nothing wrong with it.

Zhou Qing didn’t hesitate too much and gave the male lead Liu Qi to Zhang Wanyi.

So far, the most important roles have been decided, including the male and female protagonists, and an important supporting role, Liu Peiqiang.

As for some other important supporting roles, such as Han Ziang played by Wu Mengda, Wang Lei played by Li Guangjie, etc., Zhou Qing did not plan to specify specific candidates.

There is no other reason, there are simply too many actors in the circle who are suitable for these roles, and the parts they play are not too important.

Just leave it to the casting director to choose the role slowly.

Zhou Qing only needs to carry out the final review and does not have to personally monitor every character.

For Zhou Qing, his more important task is other preparatory work.

For example, setting up the scenery, concept design, prop making, etc.

For a visual effects blockbuster with a futuristic background, these are the top priorities.

“Teng Huatao’s sci-fi blockbuster Shanghai Fortress released a 15-second trailer, claiming it’s no worse than The Martian.”

“Shanghai Fortress will redefine domestic science fiction blockbusters and strive to become a science fiction star like The Martian.”

“After six years of hard work, Shanghai Fortress, a blockbuster film comparable to The Martian, is set to be released next summer.”

While Zhou Qing was busy working on “The Wandering Earth”, another science fiction blockbuster began to make its presence felt in the circle.

It was the epic masterpiece “Shanghai Fortress” that left its mark on the film industry.

Not only did the producers release a high-profile preview, they also shouted out various loud slogans.

What is the light of science fiction, what is redefining science fiction movies, and it is also directly targeting Zhou Qing’s “The Martian”.

The tone was so loud that Zhou Qing couldn’t help laughing.

When he was filming “The Martian” and now he is filming “The Wandering Earth”, he didn’t dare to be so arrogant.

Zhou Qing was really surprised. He set such a high tone. Wasn’t he afraid of getting embarrassed in the future?
Or are the producers really confident in their film “Shanghai Fortress”?

Or is it just pure hype?
If it is the latter, it is not bad, it is just commercial boasting, but if it is the former, then my goodness, the problem is really huge.

I can only say that the producer is blind.

“I don’t want to watch it. I won’t watch it even if it’s scheduled. It’s just riding on the popularity of The Martian!”

“Just a joke, the science fiction film shot by Lu Han is comparable to The Martian.”

“A science fiction romance film starring Lu Han. Need I say more about this kind of film?”

“A science fiction romance? Do we really have to fall in love all the time?”

If it was hype, we have to say it was effective, as it made the popularity of “Shanghai Fortress” soar.

What the producers didn’t expect was that although “Shanghai Fortress” became popular, it was a black-and-white success.

Everyone is basically complaining and criticizing crazily, and basically questioning it.

It’s really not anyone’s fault. To be honest, the crew of “Shanghai Fortress” does look unreliable.

Although this is an adaptation of Jiang Nan’s novel, and Jiang Nan himself has a huge number of fans, the director Teng Huatao is just a TV director.

Even though many hit TV series have been produced, TV series and movies are two different things.

If you don’t look at anything else, the directing alone is outrageous enough.

Even more outrageous is the cast.

Teng Huatao actually found top young actor Lu Han to play the soldier.

Isn’t this an international joke?

Can Lu Han play a soldier?

In addition, the theme of the movie is a science fiction romance, or in other words a romance disguised as a science fiction movie, which makes it even more difficult to convince people.

“Shameless, so shameless, he is just trying to ride on the popularity of The Martian and The Wandering Earth!”

Zhou Qing Films, Zhu Yawen couldn’t help but cursed in a low voice beside Zhou Qing.

A 15-second preview. Is this thing really necessary to release?
If you haven’t made the trailer yet, then you haven’t made it yet. You can just release it after it’s made.

The film is scheduled to be released during the summer of next year, so there is still more than a year left, which is absolutely plenty of time.

Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that “Shanghai Fortress” is taking advantage of the attention that “The Wandering Earth” has attracted to ride on its popularity.

It’s not just about riding on the popularity of “The Wandering Earth”, it’s also blatantly comparing it to “The Martian”.

He has absolutely no shame at all.

“Just take advantage of it. Being able to take advantage of the popularity of The Martian at least shows that people recognize The Martian.”

Zhou Qing just smiled and didn’t take this matter to heart at all.

At his level, it is inevitable that others will take advantage of him to gain popularity.

Every one of his films has been used countless times to gain popularity.

I don’t know how many films have shouted the slogan of being on par with Zhou Qing or surpassing Zhou Qing, and that’s normal.

It’s because the films shot by Zhou Qing are basically industry benchmarks.

There is one thing: a blacksmith must be strong himself. If the quality of your film is not up to standard, the more fun you enjoy it, the more you will be criticized.

“Shanghai Fortress” is a naked example!
“Qingzi, you are so generous.”

Zhu Yawen shook his head, full of admiration.

Of course, he also knows that there is nothing you can do when faced with this kind of popularity and you can only let it go.

But Qingzi’s attitude is really good, she really doesn’t care at all.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Zhou Qing waved his hand, ended the topic, and looked at Zhao Liying on the side.

“Congratulations, Liying. Your Princess Agents is so popular.”

Zhou Qing extended his heartfelt congratulations to Zhao Liying.

“Princess Agents” was already aired on toilet channels in May, and the results can be described as explosive, it was extremely popular.

It only aired for 20 minutes on the day of its premiere, but it set a real-time viewership record and has remained the ratings champion ever since.

No other TV show can come close to that.

A well-deserved hit, a huge hit.

Not only did the results on TV explode, but the results on the web also exploded.

It achieved over 4 million views on the first day of its premiere, and on just the third day, it topped the online broadcast list.

It just exploded.

It exploded from TV stations to the Internet, in all aspects.

It is undoubtedly the most popular item in 18, the kind that dazzles your eyes.

“Yes, Liying, Princess Agents is so popular. When it comes to TV dramas, no other female star can compare to you.”

Zhu Yawen also nodded heavily in agreement.

Zhao Liying is definitely the one who has done the best in the TV drama circle among all the artists of Zhou Qing Pictures.

He made his debut as a supporting role in “The Disguiser” and has since starred in many TV series.

Every one of them is a super hit, without exception.

It completely established her position as the queen of TV dramas.

“I didn’t expect Princess Agents to be so popular.”

Zhao Liying, the leading actress, was so happy that her eyes were narrowed into a line.

She knew that the TV series produced by Zhou Qing must be good, especially “Princess Agents” was produced independently by Zhou Qing without cooperating with other TV drama producers.

This further illustrates the potential of “Princess Agents”.

But Zhao Liying didn’t expect “Princess Agents” to become so popular.

It is much more popular than the already popular “The Journey of Flower”!

It is a phenomenally popular drama.

With this hit drama, Zhao Liying has really reached the top in the TV drama circle.

Among the 85 flower stars of the same period, no one else can compare with her.

Only Liu Yifei is willing to return to filming TV series, otherwise Zhao Liying will definitely be the number one actress in TV series.

“Director Zhou is here to rock the place again.”

“Director Zhou, this guy, is he going to let us live?”

“Director Zhou, everything is fine, why do you want to make a TV series?”

The production colleagues in the TV drama circle were all very excited.

They were all deeply inspired by the performance of “Princess Agents”.

I feel helpless and annoyed.

They are professional TV drama producers, but they can’t beat someone who is not in the same field. Who can they go to for justice?

How many production companies would be unable to produce a hit like “Princess Agents” in their entire lifetime!
Even if we gather all the bigwigs in the industry and take stock of the entire industry, we can only produce a few films a year!

As a result, Zhou Qing, who came from another industry, came up with such a hit product right away?

Is it necessary to be so stimulating?
How could you, a big shot in the film industry who has crossed over to this field, cause such a commotion?

Everyone in the TV drama industry can’t hold it in any longer. (End of this chapter)
