Chapter 430: November
This time the meeting between the two parties was very pleasant, and the contract was signed directly within the company.
Chu Qing warmly entertained him and played in Yanjing for two days before sending him on the return plane.
To be honest, he was still very surprised to have such a big director come to see him in person, and he really realized that he now has a certain influence and appeal in the world!
The so-called world superstar, that's pretty much it!
Thinking of this, Chu Qing couldn't help but feel a little proud, a thirty-four-year-old world superstar, he has proud capital!
Now Chu Qing has something to do, in addition to rehearsing the Spring Festival Gala, he also started training himself!
In the past two years, with the success of his career, the traces of training on his body have become less and less obvious, although he has not had a big belly, but his abdominal muscles have also become ninety-nine to one.
This time to shoot an action movie, it just happened to allow him to spur himself on and cultivate into eight-pack abs from scratch!
In this way, the time came to November, and the movies in the National Day file were also taken off the shelves, and the final box office champion was taken away by "Bloody Lonely City" without any suspense!
This plunged the entire crew into a sea of joy!
At that time, due to the lack of funds for the crew, many actors signed sharing contracts, but they didn't expect to create a box office of more than 2 billion!
The director and producer even brought gifts to visit [Bright Entertainment] in person.
They know too well what is the reason why this movie can have this result!
Chu Qing didn't take it seriously, but warmly entertained the two of them, and expressed his affirmation of the director's shooting techniques.
This made Director Qu very happy, after all, Chu Qing is not only an actor, but also a director!
It's just that his Oscar name is too shiny, overshadowing his director's brilliance.
"Director Chu, what type of movies do you think will be more popular in the next few years?"
The producer obviously pays more attention to the problem of the market, and asked such a sentence.
It's like a fashion designer asking a big guy in the circle what colors will be popular in the past few years.
Chu Qing smiled after hearing this: "This question is not easy to answer, because it is not popular, it is not something we can control, all we can do is to try to make the movie as good as possible." ”
Chu Qing's words sounded like nonsense, but they were in his heart.
The producers didn't understand it too much, but the director was very touched.
"Yes, all we can do is make the movie as good as possible, no one wants to make a bad movie"
If there is really a theme that makes sure to make money and does not lose money, then there will be no film market where a hundred flowers are blooming now.
And the Chinese people have a habit, that is, to follow the trend!
A martial arts film is on fire, followed by various martial arts films!
A zombie movie is on fire, and the second year is full of zombie movies!
It's like if someone buys a gas station, and the second person goes, they will open a supermarket, and the third person will go and they will open a car repair shop.
Over time, the gas station may become a small town, attracting more people.
And the choice of the Chinese people is, watch your gas station make money, then good, I will also open a gas station! The third person went, or a gas station!
So what to do if you don't make money? Simple, price reduced! Squeeze the other two gas stations!
Slowly, it will only cause the market to collapse.
How popular the Xiangjiang zombie film was back then, but now?
As long as zombie movies are mentioned, the first impression in everyone's mind is shoddy! They've completely made the series stink!
Without innovation, it is not possible to just follow the trend.
The producer doesn't quite understand, whether he follows the trend or not, making money is the primary goal!
Director Qu understood a little, and he knew that Chu Qing's subtext was to let him stick to his own style.
Chu Qing said with a smile: "I will shoot a similar movie next year, but it tells the story of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea."
The producer became a little nervous when he heard this, and asked softly, "Have you set a release date?" ”
Chu Qing snorted and stretched his waist.
"The movie assigned by the head will be released on National Day"
The producer silently kept this information in his head! Regardless of whether you make a movie next year or not, you must not collide with Chu Qing! Then "The Shawshank Redemption" is the best case, didn't you look at the people who collided with Chu Qing at the beginning, haven't they recovered yet?
The two stayed in the company for a while before leaving.
has been waiting for the two-person car to drive away, and the producer sighed.
"How do you say people do it? At a young age, it's so powerful! ”
Director Qu shook his head: "If I knew, wouldn't I be a genius?" But this time it didn't come in vain, and I understood one thing! ”
"What's the matter?"
"You must not make anti-war films next year!"
"Hmm!"
This is the consensus of the two!
At the end of November, Chu Qing came to the first studio hall again for rehearsal.
Naturally, there was nothing wrong with his show, and even the leader said several times to let him finale, but he refused.
This seems to other actors to be a high wind and bright festival, but those close to him know that he is simply going home for the New Year early.
Even if it weren't for Zhang Sanli, it would be a question whether he could come to the Spring Festival Gala.
During the rehearsal, everyone was nervous! Because not everyone is sure that their show will survive.
On the day before the Spring Festival, it is not uncommon for the program to be killed by a short notice.
This feeling is as if you have passed the exam at Tsinghua University, your schoolbag is ready, and someone calls you to tell you that the enrollment quota is full this year, so that you can continue to work hard next year, what are your feelings?
"Teacher Chu's performance is still so stable!"
After waiting for Chu Qing to finish singing a song, the staff hurriedly walked over with two bottles of water.
Chu Qing took a bottle and took a sip before smiling.
"The main thing is that the melody is simple, by the way, how many rehearsals are there?"
"It's early, there are almost three months to go to the Spring Festival Gala"
While the two were talking, an old man with long white hair walked over.
The old man was about 1.7 meters tall, with a pair of black-framed eyes, and his hair was not short, but it was not long enough to tie it up.
He was a stout man with a big beard, and he looked quite imposing.
People are the first, and laughter comes first.
"Hahaha, Mr. Chu, I have admired my name for a long time!"
"Director Zhang, I am the long-admired name"
Chu Qing shook hands with each other with a smile on his face, this person is also one of the big directors in the circle!
But his field is not movies, but TV series!
When the film market was not rising a few years ago, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this person was covering the sky with one hand!
However, with the take-off of the film market, fewer and fewer people watch TV, and without the market, the director's status has also begun to decline.
And he has his own insistence, he doesn't shoot online dramas when others invest in him, so that in recent years, he has rarely been seen in the circle.
This is actually a very dangerous thing, because the lower your exposure, the less people will look for you, and you will only fall into a vicious circle.
