The next day, Bad Monkey Pictures took the lead to officially announce an upcoming future plan for young filmmakers, and there will also be a mysterious guest appearance!
As soon as this news came out, it attracted a lot of attention in this small circle.
Although the Internet has gradually become an inseparable part of our lives, the mainstream information spread on the Internet can only represent half of the world.
Just like the law of "the shorter the news, the greater the impact", not everything will definitely attract public attention.
After all, most of the things that the general public like to hear and see are within their own scope of knowledge, or are content that is closely related to their own lives.
In the entertainment industry, which is one-third of an acre of land, Ning Hao is the mainstay of the sixth generation of directors. In terms of status in the circle, except for the fifth generation of directors such as Guo Shi, who has a transcendent status, he can be above him.
Other than that, they are basically brothers and sisters. Even if there are differences, they are not necessarily people who eat from the same pot. If we don't interfere with each other, we will naturally live in harmony.
Therefore, as for Ning Hao taking the initiative to launch such a youth film project, people in the industry naturally have different opinions.
There are naturally many kinds of thoughts such as those who are optimistic about it, those who are negative, or those who think that Ning Hao has gone beyond his duty and it is not his turn to take the lead in such a thing.
Many people even secretly feel that what is the purpose of doing such a thankless job? If it doesn't make money, it might even cause a scandal.
In the end, if you end up with an unsecured reputation, wouldn't it become a joke in the industry?
There are so many people who protect themselves wisely, that as long as you stand up normally, you will already look extraordinarily tall and majestic.
In contrast, for those who are close friends with Ning Hao, they naturally applaud him vigorously and are the first to respond positively.
Among them, whether it is Huang Bo, the billionaire actor who stood out from Ning Hao's masterpiece, or Xu Zheng, who has collaborated with Ning Hao many times and has a very good relationship, and has not yet gained weight to become the big brother of Shan Zheng, they all unequivocally agreed to attend.
It can be said that he used his actions to show his support for Ning Hao's move.
The entertainment industry is nothing more than a big circle with one small circle after another. As a leader among the sixth generation directors, Ning Hao's small circle is naturally very valuable.
Not only were the co-actors present, there were also many heavyweight guests, such as the CEO of Bad Monkey Pictures and the investors behind a successful director.
Of course, it is indispensable to have some good friends in the media. Since it is a business of "losing money and earning shouting", then naturally there must be people who are responsible for shouting, right?
The announcement of the so-called "mysterious guest" is naturally a gimmick, but for media friends, this gimmick is naturally like taking off your pants and farting.
Most of the media friends will get the list of attending guests in advance when they are invited. This will also make it easier for them to do their homework immediately and ask questions.
Among them, when many friends from the media saw the word "Zhou Dongsheng" on the list, they would inevitably have a feeling of having scored twice.
"Good guy, why is it this guy again?"
"With so much action recently, doesn't this guy have to do anything serious?"
"Is it possible that the boss really doesn't need to do anything?"
"I just saw him last time at Zhongxi Opera, and now he's hooked up with Nortel again. Will it be Zhongchuan's turn next..."
"But this is actually able to hook up with a famous director in the film industry. Is the next step going to be a big move into the film industry?"
"You didn't do enough homework, did you? She just made a guest appearance in a movie not long ago, and she was the kind of person who brought money into the group, and even made a bet with others on the '1.5 billion box office'!"
"Is there still such a thing? The Chinese film industry is full of budget. There are only a few works with a box office of over 1.5 billion, right?"
"Even including Hollywood, there are no more than 10 works that can exceed this line in the Chinese box office market. I don't know where the confidence comes from!"
"That's it, do you think it's profitable because you saw Mr. Xing's movie opening up the ceiling of China's box office? Don't look at who Mr. Xing is. That's one best actor every year, Stephen Chow for a hundred years!"
"Perhaps the frequent appearances now to show off my familiarity are just to build publicity for this movie."
"They also said that if they can't reach the box office, they will pay for it out of their own pockets. But they really have the money. Are you angry?"
…
There are not a few discussions like this. It can only be said that Zhou Dongsheng has gradually begun to emerge in terms of controversy, and it can be expected that this kind of controversy will only become more and more serious in the future.
A person who is not envied by others is a mediocre person. If there is no controversy, what is the difference between a person who is transparent and someone who is transparent?
This was the case for Zhou Dongsheng in the past. Now that he has returned to this world, he must leave something behind.
In this case, naturally you have to do your best to be as pretentious as possible, but if you show any restraint, you will be irresponsible to yourself.
On the eve of the movie plan press conference, a group of people naturally gathered together under Ning Hao's arrangement to meet each other first and become familiar with each other.
"Oh, it's been a long time, brother Hao. How are the movie preparations going? I've been keeping my schedule aside, just waiting for your order to join the cast right away!"
At this moment, Huang Bo, who had not yet become a billionaire actor, was chatting and laughing with Ning Hao with a bright smile, and looked at Zhou Dongsheng and Wen Muye who were standing aside with his eyes very naturally.
Ning Hao patted Huang Bo's shoulder very familiarly. The two got acquainted from "Crazy Stone". At that time, we were just unknown people.
Now one of them is a famous director, and the other has achieved the reputation of the first five-billion-dollar actor in Chinese movies. It can be said that they rose from the humble beginning together, and now they have become famous together.
Therefore, there is no need to talk about the relationship between the two. Instead, Ning Hao immediately asked the two people on the side: "How is it? Does Brother Bo hope to win the protagonist?"
Wen Muye looked at it carefully, and then said seriously: "Although Brother Bo is a movie king, very malleable, and a northern man, I feel that he is still a bit far from the role of Cheng Yong..."
Huang Bo didn't expect to arrange an interview for himself as soon as he came up, and immediately gave himself a swipe. Even if an ordinary person was not angry, he probably wouldn't have a good face.
After all, it would be fine if Ning Hao said this, but it would obviously be another matter if it came from such a young boy.
However, Huang Bo, who is well-versed in world affairs, did not take it seriously at all. Instead, he asked with great interest: "Brother Hao, do you have any new books?"
After all, Ning Hao is currently preparing to shoot the third part of the crazy series, and Huang Bo, an old friend, is still not absent.
One of the main reasons that can distract Ning Hao from tinkering with other film projects is that this film project must be attractive enough to attract even a famous director like Ning Hao.
Based on his understanding of Ning Hao, Huang Bo felt that his guess was probably accurate, which aroused his interest.
After all, a good script not only has a fatal attraction for the director, but also for the actors.
What's more, it's an actor like Huang Bo?
"That's right, this good book is in the hands of my junior. If a gentleman didn't take away people's love, I would have wanted to grab it and take pictures myself..." Ning Hao couldn't help but sigh.
This couldn't help but make Huang Bo feel more and more curious, as if there was a kitten scratching him, and he had the urge to take a look.
"What are you talking about? I came over right away as soon as I heard there was a good book..." As he spoke, a very dazzling light flashed past, and Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but squint his eyes.
A shiny bald head is really a bit dazzling. No wonder Xu Zheng became obsessed with wearing hats when he reached middle age. Putting such an obvious reflective source on the stage somewhat embarrassed the photographer.
"Hey, everything has a first-come, first-served basis. If I come first, don't grab it from me~" Huang Bo coaxed.
"How many Best Actors you have won are not enough. I haven't won the Best Actor in all these years. Why don't you give me the opportunity?" Xu Zheng joked with a smile.
"Okay, that's what you said. It just so happens that the director didn't like me, but even I didn't pass the test. I think you are also confused..." Huang Bo said cheerfully.
At this time, Zhou Dongsheng on the side also said hello at the right time, "Long time no see, Director Xu..."
Previously, when he participated in the wedding of the century, which was said to bring together half of the entertainment industry, Zhou Dongsheng was still not well-known at that time, but because he went with Principal Wang, he still became familiar with him.
I also met Xu Zheng in person, but that was all, and I didn’t even have any contact information.
But now they meet again, only a year later, and now Zhou Dongsheng is no longer Wu Xia Ameng.
Even Xu Zheng did not dare to neglect, he reached out his hand and shook it enthusiastically: "Oh, Mr. Zhou, this year is enough time for us to direct a movie and act in a play, but in your hands, it turns into decay."
It’s so miraculous!”
Although he is an actor and director on the surface, Xu Zheng is also very interested in investment behind the scenes.
After all, as an insider, I know very well that this bowl of rice cannot last a lifetime, so I have to leave some way out for myself.
Therefore, there are naturally countless examples of celebrities who have transformed themselves into capital, and of course there are also many losers.
Among them, the two major actresses are undoubtedly the most typical examples. The former is named Zhao and the latter is named Liu.
It was precisely because of his attention to the investment industry that Xu Zheng became more aware of the amazing achievements this young man in front of him had in the investment field.
That's why Xu Zheng said sincerely, "Turning decay into magic."
After all, it has only been a year since the movie was completed. In the entertainment industry, even if he debuted as a god and won the best actor crown in one fell swoop, it would be far less shocking than Zhou Dongsheng's achievements.
"Director Xu is joking, I grew up watching your works..." Zhou Dongsheng smiled extremely brightly, but said something extremely heartbreaking.
To a certain extent, Zhou Dongsheng was right. After all, Splendid Spring and Zhu Bajie, a "husband and wife team" work, was really something I watched when I was a child.
But when I say this, I feel a sense of frustration, as if I am a front wave being hit by the back wave on the beach.
However, Zhou Dongsheng only clicked through, then turned to Wen Muye and said with great interest: "How about Director Wen, is there any chance for Director Xu?"
Wen Muye looked Xu Zheng up and down very seriously, then shook his head, "No hair, no!"
As soon as he said this, the word "囧" appeared on Xu Zheng's face, and several people couldn't help laughing. It can be said that it hit the point of laughter of everyone.
"Damn it, you're just making fun of me, right?" Xu Zheng looked angry.
Wen Muye couldn't help but smile casually, extended his hand and apologized repeatedly, "Director Xu is just kidding. The main reason is that this character is a northern man, and you are a serious little man from the devil's capital. It is indeed inappropriate..."
"You... you might as well say I have no hair." Xu Zheng really lost his temper.
"Hahahaha, don't waste your little humor. Use it in the movie. The effect will be better if you make the audience laugh first and then cry..." Ning Hao said with full of malice.
Everyone is an insider, and Ning Hao's words raised the value of the book to a higher level.
After all, it’s hard to make people laugh when it comes to movies, but it’s even harder to make people cry.
Both are examples of the need to accurately grasp the scale, and excessive force is not enough. If the force is too strong, it will be a nightmare-like viewing experience for the audience.
After all, he thought he was being funny and he was moved by himself, which are embarrassing examples that can make onlookers dig deep.
Xu Zheng touched his shiny bald head, and suddenly an idea flashed, "If the literary director shows us the book, I will forgive you, otherwise I will go crazy..."
"I'm going to go crazy too!" Huang Bo on the side heard that there was a book for him to read, so he decisively joined in the booing.
For a moment, Zhou Dongsheng felt as if he was participating in a reality show.
Wen Muye was particularly cheerful this time, and happened to have brought a notebook with him, so he naturally showed it to the two of them without hesitation.
After all, whether it was Ning Hao's relationship or their status in the industry, it was absolutely impossible for them to do dirty things that would damage their reputation.
The value of a book, no matter what, will not be higher than the weight of these two people.
Whether it is director Xu Zheng or veteran actor Huang Bo, with their sharp eyesight, it is not difficult to see the gold content of this book.
After a while, the two looked at each other.
"This scale...it's a bit hard to say."
"But as long as it can be photographed, it is indeed a good work that can win awards!"
After all, whether it is a realistic theme or adapted from real people and true events, it can be said that it is the favorite genre of major film awards, and this has almost become a subtle rule.
In contrast, it is relatively difficult for best-selling commercial blockbusters to win awards. Movies that can gain both fame and fortune, are both popular and popular, are themselves very rare examples.
Most of the time, it is normal life to have your cake and eat it too.
But at this moment, as the two of them, all they can see is their fame. As for profits, they can only be judged by the market. There is never a fixed number or formula that can be solved.
"How about you let me try acting? Director?" After reading this book, Huang Bo became addicted to acting.
It's like I'm about to meet a great talent, and I can't hide my inner joy.
"I think I can try it too!" Xu Zheng said without hesitation.

PS: This is the first year I took my wife home to celebrate the New Year. There are many trivial matters and the update time is not stable. I hope you can forgive me!
