My singer girlfriend is super fierce.

Ye Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows at Zhao Jinglun's words, but he didn't care too much.

"Going to the Wild Waves" and "A Lifetime of Heart Chang'an" are two very good songs, but he wouldn't think that he would be invincible and would definitely win the award.

But at this time, Lu Ping expressed a different opinion.

"Shouldn't it be?" Lu Ping frowned, "According to past practice, this award is generally linked to the box office. The box office of "Tang Tiance Army" exceeded 2 billion, and the two original soundtracks received a lot of praise online. It stands to reason that they will win the award."

But Lu Ping naturally didn't doubt Zhao Jinglun's news, and asked in confusion: "Director Zhao, can you tell me who the main competitor is?"

Zhao Jinglun said four words calmly, "The Throbbing City."

Huang Zhengmin on the side was stunned and recalled: "This movie...you mean, that piano piece?"

Zhao Jinglun nodded, and Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously: "Brother Min, do you know this movie?"

"Is the soundtrack in it very powerful? . ”

Huang Zhengmin explained: “I haven’t watched it in its entirety, but I usually pay attention to new movies.”

“This “The Thrilling City” is a youth literary romance film, with a box office of 400 million, which can only be said to be just barely acceptable. But there is a clip in which the male protagonist confesses his love by playing the piano downstairs of the girls’ dormitory. The piano piece is quite famous and is said to be original.”

“I can’t play the piano, so I can’t tell what the artistic elements are, but it is said to be from the hands of a very young Chinese pianist.”

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly realized that in a previous life movie “Secret”, there was an original piano piece called “Secret”, and the composer was Jay Chou.

Similarly, this “The Thrilling City” has an original piano piece, which is quite awesome, at least it is indeed not low in terms of style.

However...Ye Zhiqiu is a little confused about the plot of this movie.

Playing the piano downstairs of the girls’ dormitory? It must be very heavy to carry...

On the side, Zhao Jinglun's assistant added: "The Chinese pianist is called Xiao Yuancai."

"I heard that he has been learning piano since elementary school, graduated from a foreign music college, and held many concerts. He is quite famous in China. The slogan "Original music by a young Chinese piano genius" was used when promoting the movie "The Throbbing City."

"This genius just announced his return to China not long ago. He must be in urgent need of this [Best Film and Television Soundtrack Award] to get into the public eye."

Everyone understood, and everyone was no longer surprised by this "export-to-domestic sales" operation.

It is not known whether "The Throbbing City" and the organizers of the awards ceremony had insider trading, but from the perspective of motivation, it is possible.

In terms of artistic quality, there may be debate about which of the two movies, "Tang Dynasty Tiance Army" and "Trobbing City", is better.

According to the "default" rules of previous years, if the level gap between the two is not too obvious, this award should be given to "Tang Dynasty Tiance Army".

However, if the organizer has other considerations, it is understandable to give it to "The Throbbing City", but it is a little difficult to convince the public.

Zhao Jinglun looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "I will put some pressure on the organizer, but it may not be very useful. We are unlikely to get this award later, so I tell you in advance."

Ye Zhiqiu waved his hand and smiled, "It doesn't matter to me, Director Zhao."

"To be honest, I don't care much about awards. No matter how many awards you win, the works will speak for themselves in the end."

Zhao Jinglun nodded in appreciation and said, "Well said."

"Awards are just icing on the cake, and works are the foundation of life."

Several people skipped this topic and continued to chat.

But Huahai Entertainment is preparing to shoot the romantic film "When a Man Falls in Love", Zhao Jinglun asked curiously: "Zhiqiu, are you the lead actor?"

"No, I'm one of the editors and producers." Ye Zhiqiu smiled and pointed at Huang Zhengmin, "The male lead is Brother Min."

When this sentence came out, Zhao Jinglun and the accompanying assistant in the private room were really stunned for a while.

Everyone looked at Huang Zhengmin, who had an uncle style, and thought they had heard it wrong.

Romance movies don't look for young and handsome actors like Ye Zhiqiu, but Huang Zhengmin?

Just like the youth romance film "The Throbbing City", the male and female protagonists are both popular young actors, plus the gimmick of "young genius pianist" Xiao Yuancai, the publicity effect is great.

Huang Zhengmin... It's not that his acting skills are bad, but he is a man in his thirties, married and divorced. The previous incident with the movie queen Wei Bing was a sensation and known to the whole country. Now he is filming a love movie again. Can the audience watch it?

How did you do this preliminary market research...? It's understandable that Ye Zhiqiu is an outsider, but Huahai Entertainment has experience in film production, so this shouldn't happen.

The assistant opened his mouth,Still didn't say the question in his heart.

Zhao Jinglun was well-informed and didn't find it strange, but he also said, "I'm curious about the script of your movie."

Lu Ping on the side nodded in agreement.

When he first learned that Ye Zhiqiu was going to make a love movie with Huang Zhengmin as the male lead, he also thought Ye Zhiqiu was crazy.

However, after reading the script, Lu Ping changed his mind.

Putting aside the style that is completely different from the mainstream love movies in the current market, this is indeed a good story. However, Huahai Entertainment has no idea how the audience will accept this work in the end.

Speaking of movies, Zhao Jinglun became interested and asked, "Who are you going to ask to direct this film?"

"I'm considering it, but I haven't decided yet." Lu Ping took the opportunity to say, "Director Zhao, you are very experienced. Do you know any directors to recommend?"

Zhao Jinglun pondered for a moment and said, "For romantic films, Zhang Kang can be chosen. He is good at shooting this type of subject matter."

The familiar name made everyone stunned. Lu Ping said, "Are you referring to Director Zhang who shot "Farewell to the Ex"? But we saw news online that Director Zhang seems to have no schedule."

Ye Zhiqiu also had an impression of Zhang Kang. He had contacted him through the two songs "Dignity" and "Say Goodbye", and felt that he was a very particular person.

"I originally accepted a film, but I recently withdrew, and the news has not been released yet."

Zhao Jinglun smiled and said, "If you are interested, I can help contact them."

Lu Ping was overjoyed and said quickly, "Then I'll trouble you!"

In terms of seniority, Zhao Jinglun belongs to the sixth generation of domestic directors, and Zhang Kang is the seventh generation. The two graduated from the same school, and Zhao Jinglun is Zhang Kang's senior.

Zhang Kang is an experienced director with a good reputation in the industry. He is very popular. There are many movies he is looking for to direct. Under normal circumstances, he may not be willing to take on a low-cost production like "When a Man Falls in Love", but with Zhao Jinglun's relationship, it may be different.

Zhao Jinglun nodded and picked up the phone to make a call.

"Hello, A Kang?"

"Are you in Shangjing... Come to Fengtaixuan Hotel in the Film and Television City to get together?"
