Chapter 683 The Pursuit of the Older Generation of Artists

When it comes to picking up girls, Mr. Zhang's efficiency is truly amazing.

The next morning, he brought people to Zhou Hao's office.

A 27-year-old girl, tall, long legs and internet celebrity face, is indeed very beautiful.

The Central Academy of Drama produces actors, the Beijing Film Academy produces stars, and the Shanghai Theatre Academy produces beauties.

The actresses who graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy are guaranteed to have good looks.

According to the information provided by Master Zhang, this girl named Liu Qingqing only acted in two online movies after graduation and never got any job since then.

As for the reason... According to Zhang Junfeng, she was unwilling to accept the unspoken rules, so she was always excluded.

But this was only one side of the story, and Zhou Hao was not naive enough to believe it completely.

"Director Zhou, I've heard a lot about you. I'm your loyal fan." Liu Qingqing came up and gave a standard 90-degree bow. Her deep cleavage clearly caught Zhou Hao's field of vision.

"Please sit down." Zhou Hao turned his gaze away and personally made tea for the two of them, making Liu Qingqing look flattered.

After a few polite words, Zhou Hao went straight to the point, "I have a general understanding of your situation."

Liu Qingqing also immediately put down her cup, sat up straight and looked nervous.

"I've watched both of those online movies. To be frank, they're just two garbage cans." Zhou Hao sighed, "From the scripts to the directors to the actors, everything is a mess. It's so noisy and gives me a headache."

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing's face turned red with embarrassment, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Zhang Junfeng at the side quickly stepped out to save the girl, "Brother, you can't use your own standards to review other people's works, wouldn't they all be garbage?"

"Before your film 'Those Years' came out, there were no decent online movies. Aren't they all just garbage used to cheat people out of money and launder gold coins?"

"Why are you so excited?" Zhou Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "I didn't say it was her problem."

After scolding Master Zhang, he continued to say to Liu Qingqing: "In a crew with such a low overall level, it is really impossible to judge your true level, so I plan to let you go to the director to try out a few scenes and see. If you are qualified, I can help you get a place."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing immediately replied: "Thank you, Director Zhou, I have no problem!"

This attitude made Zhou Hao's eyes light up.

If she had glanced at Master Zhang just now, she would have probably been rejected.

Because that is a sign of lack of confidence, and it is definitely a sign of having connections.

But now, she agreed without hesitation, which shows that she is quite confident in her abilities.

"Okay, I'll arrange it then." Zhou Hao said, "But there is one thing I need to inform you of first. Your character may not be very likable, or even a little annoying. If you can't accept it, then there is nothing I can do."

"That's impossible." Liu Qingqing immediately shook her head. "I know my own worth. I've already gotten to this point. How can I still have the qualifications to change roles?"

Okay, pretty honest.

After seeing the couple off, Zhou Hao immediately called Zhang Mo.

That’s right, the director he chose for this film was still Zhang Mo.

"Crazy Stone" is still in the final sprint stage. Once the film is released, he can basically get out of it.

The next task waiting for him is "Love Is Not Blind".

Before making the decision, Zhou Hao also considered whether to change someone else to direct, after all, this kind of seamless continuous rotation is very tiring for a director. In addition, in terms of film style, Love Is Not Blind is more inclined to the soft and warm female perspective, which is quite different from the glib humor of Stone. Whether Zhang Mo can handle it is also a big question.

But after reading the script, Zhang Mo took the initiative to apply for the rights to direct the film.

"Why are you so tired? This is the age when you have the most creative energy. If you slack off every day, when you are older and want to shoot good things, you will probably be constipated!"

"As for the style, you don't have to worry about it. As long as I don't mess around and follow your script ideas, it will be fine. When the time comes, you can just be the nominal producer and be responsible for checking. It will be difficult for it to deviate."

The reason was convincing and Zhou Hao was convinced.

And through the collaboration on "Stone", he discovered that Zhang Mo was indeed very useful.

He is capable and well-behaved, works hard and doesn't cause trouble. He is a rare good director.

Just after I finished arranging Zhang Mo's affairs, another big Buddha came to the door.

"Brother, I've been resting for a long time." Liu Wei pointed at his bulging belly and said, "Is there any work? When can I start work?"

Seeing his obviously fatter body, Zhou Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I just want you to rest for a while."

"What the hell, you're just too idle." Liu Wei cursed, "You tricked me out of Shanhai Film and Television, you're not going to just leave me here like this, are you?"

What I'm saying is that it was obviously you who changed jobs and ran away!
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Hao asked back: "What do you think? Should we still shoot a suspense film?"

Surprisingly, he shook his head and said, "I keep shooting this kind of thing, and the path is too narrow. It's easy to fall into path dependence and form a fixed routine. I want to jump out of my comfort zone and challenge other themes."

This answer surprised Zhou Hao.

This guy is really brave!

Nowadays, most people in the circle prefer stability. Once they have mastered the gameplay of a subject, they basically just lie back in their comfort zone and live off their past achievements.

From film and television agencies to directors and artists, almost everyone follows this model to get by. Unless the subject matter is so bad that everyone despises it and there is no way to make a living, they will never take the initiative to jump out and challenge themselves.

This guy Liu Wei is indeed an outlier.

In him, one can vaguely see the attitude and pursuit of the older generation of artists towards their works.

It is precisely because these things are becoming increasingly scarce and everything is only about money that the Chinese entertainment industry has gradually degenerated and become the horrible state it is today.

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Hao nodded, "I'll think about it later and give you a different book."

Liu Wei nodded in satisfaction, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, and lowered his voice and asked, "Have you contacted Nana recently?"

Zhou Hao was confused by the question, "No, what's wrong?"

Liu Wei rolled his eyes at him and said: scumbag.

"I heard from Lao Lin that this kid has been staying at home for almost two months. He doesn't take any roles or work. He just stays there playing games and lying around every day. He is so depressed."

"What's going on?" Zhou Hao asked.

"There's no one here, who are you pretending for?" Liu Wei said unhappily, "Isn't it because of you? Don't deny it to me. Everyone in our circle knows her thoughts. She started to act like a jerk since you got married!"

Zhou Hao was speechless, "You also said that I'm already married, what else do you want me to do?"

"How would I know?" Liu Wei shrugged. "You caused this trouble yourself, so you should handle it yourself."
