165 Cooperation with Director Liu

Speaking of Zhou Xingchi, I have to mention a series of his popular works.

Since the 90 years of "The Saint of Gambling" and "The Gambler", Zhou Xingchi has starred in a series of movies, such as the "Truant Weilong" series, 93 is last year's "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", this year's "Domestic Ling Ling Paint", "Jiupin Sesame Official".

These movies are all box office hits and will be classics for decades to come.

I have to say that she has a good agent, Xu Yuchen is extremely efficient, and quickly negotiated the time and place to meet Liu Zhengwei.

If mainland entertainment is the world of China Entertainment and Star Arts, then Hong Kong movies are the world of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and almost all famous stars or popular actors in Hong Kong are from these two companies.

And this time, Liu Zhengwei will find himself through Gu Tianle, which all shows that Xiangjiang and mainland culture are slowly merging.

"Hedong Lion's Roar" high box office and superb acting skills made Gu Tianle popular, coupled with his handsome and handsome facial features, it really attracted the attention of the director, so Liu Zhengwei found him and asked him to join his latest movie.

Of course, with Gu Tianle's current qualifications, he can only play a supporting role in the film. However, such a big director generally has a very high vision, and being able to show his face in his movies will only be good for his acting skills, so Gu Tianle also agreed.

The meeting time was very well arranged, just when the new film was promoted in the mainland, accompanied by Gu Tianle, and the group met in the guild hall.

Liu Zhengwei is not very old, about 40 years old, and he is in his prime.

A round face. The smiling appearance is not a little murderous and courageous. It just feels approachable.

"Gu Zai." See them come in. Fu Qingyao beckoned.

The two walked over, and Gu Tianle introduced to her, "Brother Qingyao Sister Qizhi, this is director Liu Zhengwei." Director Liu, this is what I told you about Sister Qingyao and Director Zhou Qizhi. ”

looked at the light makeup, but it was difficult to hide the appearance, and the eyes flashed with amazement.

Hong Kong is a beauty, and after so many years, I have seen a lot of beauties. But a face like Fu Qingyao with good facial features and no hard injuries, and is naturally suitable for the big screen, is really amazing.

"Director Liu, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me!" Fu Qingyao got up and greeted with a smile.

Liu Zhengwei laughed, "Where is Miss Fu's outstanding appearance, I should stammer Miss Fu more." ”

"Hello Director Liu, I'm Zhou Qizhi, and your movies are all very good. I admire you! Zhou Qizhi smiled and stretched out his hand.

After shaking hands with him, Liu Zhengwei smiled: "Eh." Director Zhou is modest, I have seen several of your works, and they are all very good, and the box office makes us outsiders very red-eyed, and it is really a hero out of a teenager! ”

is worthy of being a person who has been in the circle for decades, and what he said made people feel comfortable listening to it.

"Where is it, Director Liu is my senior, when I was in school, the teacher told me about your movie, I didn't expect to meet a real person one day, and I was really flattered to be able to sit down and drink tea together! If you don't dislike it, just call me Xiao Zhou. ”

After a few years, Zhou Qizhi is not the former Amon. In the entertainment industry, who knows what the future holds, a nameless person who is registered today may become popular tomorrow.

"Then I'll take care of it." Liu Zhengwei said with a smile.

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Fu Qingyao looked funny on the side, in the end, men are good people, and after a few glasses of wine and a few words when they meet with the same sex, they can hook their shoulders and call them brothers.

If you change to a woman, but you have a meal, you don't know how much gossip there is.

The two directors here were chatting, and Fu Qingyao and Gu Tianle over there also chatted a few words and talked about his new film.

In fact, Liu Zhengwei is so inextricably linked to find Fu Qingyao through relationships, there is really a reason.

He is also a figure in Xiangjiang, like the works he has cooperated with Zhou Xingchi in recent years, and the box office has broken the record of Xiangjiang for so many years, becoming the king of the new generation of box office.

Before Fu Qingyao came out, mainland movies had been tepid, and some Hong Kong directors came to negotiate with theaters to release movies. The movies that sell well in Hong Kong have little market in the mainland, and everyone doesn't buy them.

Because mainland directors pay too much attention to the relationship between whether they can win awards, and the content should not be too profound or too dull, mainland people do not have the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies.

After the failure of several Hong Kong directors, although the rest of the directors also coveted this piece of cake, they did not have a good way.

But all this was broken by a woman named Fu Qingyao, the first movie she wrote "To Youth" was scary at the box office, and the box office of several subsequent works made all directors red.

In addition to the dividends of the theater, the income is also very expensive.

So after Fu Qingyao took a fancy to Gu Tianle, Liu Zhengwei, who had a keen intuition, immediately contacted him and let him star in his own movie, reaching the point of knowing Fu Qingyao.

"Miss Fu's "The Legend of Wukong" is very well written, I am surprised that Miss Fu is so young and can write such a good article, which is really admirable." This time I came mainly to cooperate with Fu Qingyao, so after greeting Zhou Qizhi, Liu Zhengwei still brought the topic to Fu Qingyao.

"Being young doesn't mean you've experienced less. Before I became famous, my family had always been very poor and had suffered a lot, so I guess I had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. ”

Thinking of the past, Fu Qingyao sighed, "But fortunately, I have come over now, and those difficult experiences can be regarded as tempering in life, which makes me stronger and more grateful, so I have so many feelings in my works." ”

"It's no wonder that Miss Fu is able to write both pure love and touching connotations, which are forced by life." Liu Zhengwei sighed, as if sighing for her, "Gu Zai is too, at a young age, he has a lot of feelings, so he can have a good performance in acting at such a young age." ”

"Gu Tsai is very strong." Fu Qingyao smiled, "I admire him very much, and he will definitely be in the movie in the future." ”

Thinking of Gu Tianle's modest personality and willingness to endure hardships on the set, Liu Zhengwei nodded in agreement.

"Director Liu. Gu Tsai said that you are interested in making a movie about Journey to the West. Are you planning to shoot next year? ”

"Hmm. I have always felt that "Journey to the West" is not an ordinary story, and there are many things in the character of Monkey King that are worth excavating. After reading your "The Legend of Wukong", I feel very touched, you wrote Wukong very vividly, and basically said everything I wanted to say, so I asked Gu Zai to pull the strings for me. ”

Speaking of business, Liu Zhengwei's face also became serious. "I don't know if Qingyao has time recently to write a script about "Journey to the West" for me."

"Journey to the West!" Fu Qingyao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Director Liu has spoken, even if I go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will definitely write it for Director Liu." I just don't know when you're going to want it, and if it's too tight, it's a bit difficult. ”

Liu Zhengwei said that he understood her remarks, after all, writing a script is not about buying cabbage, you can have it on the street. As long as Qing Yao is willing to show this tone, with her ability and her own network. This movie for release is sure to be a big hit.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhengwei's small eyes almost narrowed with a smile.

"There's no need to rush. As long as you can give it to me in the middle of next year, I hope the movie will be released next year. ”

Fu Qingyao groaned, if he wants to release it before the Chinese New Year next year, then this script is enough for him in the middle of the year. After all, Hong Kong movies are notoriously efficient, and some movies can even be completed in a week, and Hong Kong can almost produce hundreds of small-budget films a month.

Give him a movie in the middle of the year, and half a year to find actors, set the actors' schedules, pull investment funds, costumes and props, although it is troublesome, it is enough.

Liu Zhengwei has been filming in Xiangjiang for so many years, so he naturally has his own channels, and he is also good friends with Wong Kar-wai and has a wide range of contacts.

When I came back to my senses, I saw Liu Zhengwei staring at her, and couldn't help laughing: "No problem, I must give the script to Director Liu in the middle of next year." ”

After receiving her affirmative answer, the folds on Liu Zhengwei's face burst into laughter: "Qing Yao is really the same as Gu Zai said, she is a refreshing person, come, I will toast you." ”

He has a straightforward temper, and naturally he likes girls who are not twisted or pretentious.

"I also salute Director Liu, I wish the new film a big sale and a prosperous result!"

"Haha, then Cheng You'll be lucky."

Staggered, Zhou Qizhi smiled and said: "Qing Yao, you're not right, you can't abandon a small director like us just because you can cooperate with a big director like Director Liu!" Last time, I made an appointment for a long time, and you refused to write me a script. ”

If you shoot a script for Qing Yao, it will be a big hit, and this guy is very lazy, and he is only willing to write one movie a year. Last year, because he agreed to Su Luoran's marriage proposal, he acted in "Hedong Lion's Roar" in the first half of the year, and "The Little Thing of First Love" in the second half of the year, so he naturally refused to write a script and take over the play this year.

In the face of the cash cow strike, Zhou Qizhi naturally complained.

You said that you would rather write that kind of unpopular love story on the Internet and earn people's tears than spend time pondering the script, which is really picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

I want to spend this effort on the script and make it into a movie, and I don't know how many billions I have earned.

"You just cry in front of me every day, it's not that you don't know my rules, and you only write one script a year. Last year, I acted in two steps in a row, and this year I'm going to take a break, don't think about hitting me! Fu Qingyao glared at him, "Director Liu has already settled down next year, you can wait until the year after next." ”

Liu Zhengwei laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Zhou, I'm sorry, I booked it first, anyway, you are brothers and sisters, and you usually have many opportunities to meet, just talk and make peace, women's ears are soft." ”

Zhou Qizhi shook his head with a smile, "Director Liu, you don't know, other women are as soft as water, this guy Qingyao can be hard-hearted, saying that if he only writes one play a year and only stars in one movie, he will definitely not change." Hard-hearted! ”

When he said this, Fu Qingyao also picked up chopsticks and sandwiched the dishes for him, and said with a smile: "Eat your food, I decided that you will have this meal, anyway, I am iron-hearted, isn't it." ”

"You, you're going to bully me, worried that I'll go back and tell my aunt and let her clean you up."

"Go, go, go." Fu Qingyao didn't care, "Anyway, the guild is on my side, I'm not afraid." (To be continued......)

PS: "Hahaha, you brother and sister have a really good relationship. "I've seen a lot of Hong Kong's wealthy families fighting for property, Liu Zhengwei's favorability for the two of them has risen, and I don't know how many times I've laughed today, "If you're a brother, you have to let this sister come, drink and drink......"
