Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

“560 million, not bad!”

Zhou Qing couldn't help but nodded secretly, and his face suddenly became red.

Is he satisfied with the box office?
Of course I am satisfied!
You should know that Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves" only had a box office of 510 million on the first day, and the final total box office reached 1.2 million.

If we refer to this example, wouldn't the total box office of "The Hearing Girl" be over 1.2 million?
Zhou Qing will become the fourth director after Zhang, Chen and Feng to have a movie box office exceeding 100 million!
You have to know that in this era, a box office revenue of over 100 million is still very important.

Although Zhou Qing has always been known as a great director, on par with Zhang, Chen and Feng, his box office has not yet reached the same level as Zhang, Chen and Feng. After all, there is still some water in his box office.

But if there is a movie with a box office of over 100 million, this status will be truly unshakable.

"Director Zhou, has the first day box office of 'Hearing Girl' come out?"

"It must have come out. How many are there, Director Zhou?"

In the main creative group of "The Hearing Girl", Brother Hu and Shu Chang couldn't help but start sending messages to inquire.

Although Jiang Wenli and Feng Yuanzheng did not make any movement, their status was online and it was obvious that they were peeking at the screen.

"It's so late, no one is asleep."

Zhou Qing replied with a smile.

"Come on, Qingzi, stop keeping us in suspense. We didn't wait this late for you to talk nonsense."

Huang Bo couldn't help but start urging Zhou Qing.

Among so many people in the group, only Huang Bo dared to speak to Zhou Qing in this tone.

"It's OK, only 560 million."

Zhou Qing showed off in front of everyone.

There was a brief silence in the group, and then it began to boil.

"560 million? That's a lot! It's a hit, our movie is a hit again."

"Who says it's not true? The first day's sales were so high, the total box office will definitely exceed 100 million!"

"Holy crap! It's really going to break 100 million, Director Zhou is awesome!"

Be it Brother Hu, Shu Chang, or the two seniors Jiang Wenli and Feng Yuanzheng, they all found it difficult to suppress their excitement and excitement.

Everyone felt as if there were galloping horses inside their bodies.

Is your movie going to break 100 million at the box office?

This is so explosive!

Even though they kept saying before the movie was released that the box office would exceed 100 million yuan, to be honest, it was more of just slogans.

After all, it’s really not easy to break 100 million.

Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, only Zhang, Chen, Feng and Zhou Xingchi can do it.

Even poet Chen has only just achieved this with "The Promise".

There was no one else.

Breaking the 100 million mark is like a chasm that stands in the way of all filmmakers. It is a medal that everyone can see but cannot touch.

Although Director Zhou’s record is very impressive, no one is sure about it.

You have to know how those other billion-dollar movies were made, and what was the production of Director Zhou’s "The Hearing Girl"?
Can this be compared?

However, no one really expected that Director Zhou's "The Hearing Girl" could really do this.

Director Zhou is awesome.

"The first-day box office of Director Zhou Qing's fourth feature film, "Hearing Girl," was released, earning a strong 560 million yuan."

"It was a hit the first time it was released. Director Zhou's "Hearing Girl" grossed 560 million yuan on the first day, breaking his personal record again."

"The first-day box office was 560 million, surpassing the 510 million of A World Without Thieves. Can the total box office of The Hearing Girl exceed million?"

"Another Chinese film that has reached the billion-dollar club has been born? The Hearing Girl earned an astonishing 560 million yuan at the box office on its first day of release."

The first-day box office of "The Hearing Girl" touched the hearts of countless people.

The entire circle was once again shocked by Zhou Qing's powerful strength.

After all, based on the first-day box office of 560 million, the probability of "The Hearing Girl" breaking the million mark is still very high.

Of course, the premise is that the reputation of "Hearing Girl" cannot collapse and the quality must be maintained.

Just like "The Promise".

At the beginning, people in the industry generally believed that "The Promise" could surpass the 2.5 million yuan of "Hero" and become a new myth of domestic films.

But now?
It seems that it is impossible to break 200 million.

But on second thought, everyone felt that they were thinking too much.

So far, the three films released by Director Zhou are all highly acclaimed.

What's more, how could a work that won the Golden Lion Award in Venice be bad?
From this comprehensive perspective, there is no doubt that "The Hearing Girl" will break the 100 million mark.

So after Zhang, Chen and Feng, is the domestic entertainment industry going to have a fourth director with a box office of over 100 million yuan?

He is such a young director and hasn’t even graduated from college!
Really perverted.

"The Hearing Girl" was released only one day ago, and Zhou Qing once again became the most eye-catching person in the circle.

Many eyes turned over.

However, Zhou Qing couldn't take care of those messy things as he had to continue preparing for "Painted Skin".

Fortunately, the preparations for "Painted Skin" have been mostly completed, and many tasks are on track.

In addition, the promotion of "The Hearing Girl" has come to an end, so Zhou Qing feels a lot more relaxed.

On January 1, the total box office of "If Love" was reported, which was only a pitiful 2 million.

If you just look at the box office, you might think it’s okay, but what if you consider the US$900 million investment in this movie?

That's really a loss to my grandma's house.

In particular, the producers of "If Love" were too arrogant. Other movies avoided the release schedule of "The Promise", but "If Love" caught up with it.

Now he fell so badly that he was ridiculed by everyone.

Fortunately, "If Love" still has a very good reputation, and I remember that it won many awards.

Especially Zhou Xun, who won both the Golden Horse and Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actress with this movie.

Overall, it wasn't too bad of a failure.

"Producer Hu, notify all the main actors to join the crew."

Zhou Qing gave instructions to Producer Hu, who quickly passed the message on.

Hu Jun, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wenzhuo, Dong Xuan and others didn't say anything and started to join the group immediately.

Of course, Zhou Qing’s classmate and roommate Zhu Yawen cannot be missing.

As for Liu Yifei, she hasn't arrived yet.

The girl had already informed Zhou Qing that they would arrive on the 10th.

"Director Zhou, congratulations! The Hearing Girl is doing so well at the box office."

“The box office of ‘Hearing Girl’ will definitely exceed 100 million!”

After everyone met, they all sent congratulatory messages to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing naturally responded with a smile.

"Painted Skin will start filming in February, and there is only one month left. During this period we will have to undergo corresponding training and also conduct script readings."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. I hope everyone can treat it with full energy. When the filming of Painted Skin starts, I want to see that everyone has entered the best state."

After the greetings, Zhou Qing straightened his face and started talking about business with everyone.

Naturally, everyone had a very positive attitude and promised to do their best to cooperate with the crew and complete the corresponding training.

Among the leading actors, Zhao Wenzhuo knows real kung fu, and his training is relatively simple.

The moves designed by the martial arts instructor were not difficult at all for him. He could even master them after practicing a few times. It was so easy and enjoyable.

Both Hu Jun and Dong Xuan have also filmed martial arts dramas and had previous training experience in this area, so they were able to adapt quickly.

Zhu Yawen and Zhou Xun obviously had a much harder time. Although Zhou Xun had acted in costume dramas, she had never filmed an action scene.

Not to mention Zhu Yawen, how many serious works has this guy filmed?
Fortunately, both of them are quite dedicated.

Even if you feel tired and exhausted, you can still persevere and complete the corresponding training according to the schedule.

"Sissi!"

"Zhou Qing!"

On January 1, Liu Yifei, who was training at Sony, finally came back, and Zhou Qing took time out to pick her up at the airport.

As soon as they met, the girl rushed over excitedly and gave Zhou Qing a big hug.

After all, the two of them are now in the stage of love and passion, and they haven't seen each other for such a long time, so they are indeed a little excited.

"Did you miss me?"

"Of course I did. What about you?"

"I also……"

"Cough cough!"

Liu Xiaoli on the side was so upset that she couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Can you two please be careful about the impact? We are still at the airport.

There are people coming and going around here, it would be a disaster if someone recognized me.

One is a popular female star, and the other is a top director in mainland China.

Wow, if this gets exposed it will definitely blow up the entertainment industry.

But what is more important?
Do you really think I don’t exist? Even if you do it behind my back!
"Auntie, give me all these luggage."

Zhou Qing separated from Liu Yifei calmly, as if nothing had happened, and greeted Liu Xiaoli nonchalantly.

On the contrary, Liu Yifei's face was still red, and she was a little afraid to look at Liu Xiaoli.

"The box office of 'Hearing Girl' has now reached over 5600 million. There is no problem for this movie to break million."

Liu Xiaoli chatted with Zhou Qing for a while and then talked about the box office of "The Hearing Girl". She seemed even more excited than Zhou Qing.

The movie has only been released for nine days and the box office has been so high. Who still doubts that the total box office will exceed 100 million?

This is Zhou Qing’s strength.

Even a movie of the size and subject matter of "The Hearing Girl" can be so explosive, so what more needs to be said about "Painted Skin"?
When she thought of this, Liu Xiaoli could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart.

"Hello everyone, I am the actress Liu Yifei, and I play Peirong in the movie."

After two days of simple rest and relaxation, Liu Yifei also joined the group.

As usual, the actors first got to know each other and were introduced.

But this process is actually not necessary.

After all, Liu Yifei is a star no matter what, who doesn’t know her?
What's more, many of the leading actors have known Liu Yifei for a long time.

Hu Jun and Liu Yifei have worked together on "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", Zhu Yawen is their classmate, and Dong Xuan is an alumnus.

As for Zhou Xun, Liu Yifei visited Zhou Qing on the set of "La La Land" and they knew each other.

With such a relationship in place, one can imagine how harmonious the atmosphere on the scene was.

"Xixi, it's been a long time since we last met. You are getting more and more beautiful."

Zhu Yawen was the first to greet Liu Yifei, and they were all laughing and very close. The relationship between the two was already pretty good.

"You are becoming more and more handsome."

Liu Yifei responded with a smile.

"Yifei, I didn't expect that we would play husband and wife this time."

Hu Jun also acted very familiar with it.

"Brother Hu, I need your continued care."

Everyone greeted each other, and Liu Yifei integrated into the group as quickly as possible.

However, Liu Yifei did not have any fighting scenes in "Painted Skin", so she did not need to undergo martial arts training.

Although it was a few days late, it didn't matter much.

"Let's analyze Peirong today. I believe everyone is concerned about one question: Does Peirong still love Pangyong?"

"Pang Yong has always loved Peirong, there is no doubt about that, but what about Peirong?"

During the script reading, Zhou Qing led everyone to analyze the character of Peirong.

Everyone listened very carefully, especially Liu Yifei, who stared at Zhou Qing without blinking.

"Director Zhou, 'The Secret Agent' is really a hit, you're so accurate!"

Wang Baoqiang has been smiling from ear to ear these two days.

It’s nothing, the TV series "The Counterfeiter" starring him was finally aired and the ratings were surprisingly good.

After only a few episodes, it became the ratings champion in its time slot.

To be honest, when Liu Yunlong, an actor, approached him as a director, Wang Baoqiang was indeed quite skeptical.

Who would have thought that Zhou Qing was optimistic about the other party, so Wang Baoqiang took on the role of the male lead.

Facts have proved that this decision was absolutely correct. "The Counterfeiter" actually became the ratings champion.

Six.

"Senior Brother Liu Yunlong is still capable."

Zhou Qing said lightly that as a person who had been reborn, he was not surprised by this result.

On January 1, “The Promise,” which had taken the entire entertainment industry by storm, was taken off the screen with a total box office of 15 million yuan.

Far below expectations within the industry.

Or to put it another way, it is far lower than what people in the industry initially expected.

After all, after "Mantou" came out, "The Promise" became a flop, and no one knew that the movie was not doing well.

Poet Chen was really furious, even beyond words.

Not only did he keep saying he would sue the author of the video, he was also jumping around all the time.

There is news circulating in the circle that the Film Association is planning a conference.

What conference?
Naturally, it was the conference where "The Promise" was spoofed.

I can only say that the great poet Chen is awesome and his influence is truly undeniable. He does have some background and connections.

But then again, although "Mantou" is a spoof of "The Promise", it is indeed closely related to the industry.

After all, most people don't want the same thing to happen to themselves.

Now that the door has been opened, it is understandable that the association wants to make some voice.

“Is The Promise really as bad as people say online?”

Liu Yifei also ran over to ask Zhou Qing out of curiosity.

After returning from Japan, Liu Yifei joined the crew almost immediately. Apart from supporting Zhou Qing's "Hearing Girl", she did not watch any other movies.

But poet Chen is a great director who has won the Palme d’Or. How could the movies he made be so bad?

There were so many curses on the internet.

"It's really not good. It would be a waste of the movie ticket if I went there."

Zhou Qing said whatever he wanted to Liu Yifei, expressing his thoughts truthfully.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

Since Zhou Qing said so, the movie must be very ugly.

But that's poet Chen, so it's hard to be nervous. (End of this chapter)
