Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

The film market in June was still very lively.

Although "The Warlords" has just been released, there are still two other blockbusters "Assembly" and "Now You See Me" competing with each other.

Especially since these two blockbusters are very lethal, under their combined force, many movies have become cannon fodder.

For example, "Save Me", "Butterfly Flying", "All Year Round", "My Name is Liu Yuejin", etc., did not even make the slightest splash.

While a number of blockbusters were trembling under the pressure of two blockbusters, another blockbuster began its vigorous promotion.

From Stephen Chow's "CJ7".

The movie has also attracted great attention in the circle, and everyone is generally very optimistic about it.

After all, this is also Stephen Chow’s movie.

Although it has been 4 years since Stephen Chow’s last movie “Kung Fu”, the weight of the two words “Star Master” cannot be underestimated.

Following "The Warlords" and "Assembly", "Now You See Me" is about to face another powerful opponent!
"We are confident in CJ7. Zhou Xingchi's appeal is unparalleled. The box office of CJ7 will definitely surpass Painted Skin and Now You See Me!"

"Last time, Director Zhou Xingchi's Kung Fu won the annual box office championship. This time we have the same goal."

“CJ7 will definitely break the record of Painted Skin. If Now You See Me creates a new record, it will also be broken by CJ7.”

The producers' slogans were also very loud, punching "Painted Skin" and stepping on "Now You See Me" with great momentum.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Zhou Xingchi’s fans believe it and are cheering for "CJ7" one by one.

It seems that "CJ7" really beat "Painted Skin" and "Now You See Me".

"It's a Zhou Xingchi movie."

Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen and other leading actors all perked up and did not dare to take it lightly.

After all, Zhou Xingchi’s fighting ability is indeed very strong.

The other party’s “Kung Fu” 4 years ago also achieved outstanding results.

In everyone's opinion, "CJ7" can pose a certain threat to Zhou Qing.

However, Zhou Qing, the director, seemed very calm and was not moved at all.

What happened to Zhou Xingchi?
We are the ones who are good at hanging things, okay?

"Do you think CJ7 can surpass Now You See Me?"

Liu Yifei stared at Zhou Qing seriously and asked him this question.

"Can you please have some confidence in Now You See Me?"

Zhou Qing just smiled, so nonchalantly, as if he didn't take "CJ7" seriously.

"You think CJ7 can't surpass our Now You See Me?"

Liu Yifei's eyes immediately lit up.

"If Zhou Xingchi still shoots what he is good at, it's hard to say, but he changed his style in "CJ7"."

"So, Xixi, relax. It will be difficult for CJ7 to surpass Now You See Me."

Zhou Qing said to Liu Yifei with a solemn vow.

Seeing Zhou Qing so confident about "Now You See Me", Liu Yifei felt relieved.

"Mom, Zhou Qing and I went out together."

After chatting and joking with Zhou Qing for a while, Liu Yifei put on her black down jacket and called out to Liu Xiaoli.

"understood!"

Liu Xiaoli, who was watching TV, responded casually without turning her head.

It's obvious that he no longer cares about this kind of thing.

Liu Yifei took Zhou Qing and went out happily to have fun.

The daytime activities were mainly about sightseeing and shopping. Poor Zhou Qing had completely become Liu Yifei's bag-carrying machine. How miserable he was.

In the evening, the two decided to go to the movies.

As for what movie to watch?
"Just go watch Bao Qiang's "Assembly"."

After some simple thought, Liu Yifei made this decision happily.

The main reason is that there is really nothing to watch in the whole month of January except for "Assembly".

In addition, since there were also artists under Zhou Qing participating in the show, Liu Yifei finally turned over the sign of "Assembly".

Zhou Qing naturally had no objection. At times like this, it was up to the girl to make the decision.

And if he were asked to choose, he would definitely choose "Assembly".

Even though he had already seen the movie.

"You have to wear a mask properly, otherwise it will be troublesome if someone recognizes you."

Before entering the cinema, Zhou Qing did not forget to give Liu Yifei some instructions.

If places like cinemas were really recognized, it would really cause congestion.

"I know, I know. I can't recognize it."

Liu Yifei excitedly dragged Zhou Qing to buy tickets and two extra-large buckets of popcorn.

The two of them ate and watched at the same time, feeling very comfortable.

"Bao Qiang performed really well. You really have good taste."

When Wang Baoqiang appeared, Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh in a low voice beside Zhou Qing.

Speaking of Wang Baoqiang, Liu Yifei is truly convinced by Zhou Qing.

He is ugly, short, and comes from a grassroots background. No matter how you look at it, he is not cut out for the entertainment industry.

If someone had told Liu Yifei two years ago that someone like this could become famous, she would not have believed it even if she was beaten to death.

But what is the reality?
It only took Zhou Qing two years to make Wang Baoqiang famous and a quasi-first-tier star.

It's so scary.

There is also Huang Bo.

His image is almost the same as Wang Baoqiang's. Now with the popularity of "Now You See Me", he has also become a quasi-first-line actor.

I can only say that Zhou Qing’s gaze is really vicious.

"Baoqiang is very talented in acting. His acting skills are better than many actors who have received professional training."

Zhou Qing nodded in agreement and was not stingy with his praise for Wang Baoqiang.

"It's Liu Yifei!"

"That's Liu Yifei, and Director Zhou!"

"Liu Yifei and Director Zhou went to the movies together!"

Even though I had been careful not to be recognized, some things were beyond my control.

When the movie ended, Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei were still recognized by others.

This time, wow, it’s really amazing.

Just as Zhou Qing had worried before, they were surrounded and the two of them had to use a lot of effort to squeeze out of the theater.

"Fans bumped into director Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei in the theater, and the two watched Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" together."

"While Now You See Me was a big hit, Director Zhou Qing chose to support Director Feng Xiaogang's Assembly."

"Director Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei were photographed watching a movie together again. Are they a couple?"

The result was unquestionable; the news of the two going to see "Assembly" was quickly reported.

It attracted a lot of onlookers.

Many netizens couldn't help but laugh. Director Zhou Qing is really generous. He actually went to personally support his rival's movie. You know, before the release of "Assembly", it was claimed that it would surpass "Painted Skin".

The relationship between Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei was the focus of everyone's crazy discussion.

After all, this is not the first time that these two have been involved in scandals.

"Director Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei must be together, otherwise I'll tear my head off and kick it like a ball."

"The ones upstairs, do I need to tell you? How many times have they been photographed?"

"Director Zhou, stop being so stubborn and just admit it."

Many netizens called out to Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei.

However, both of them chose to ignore it and did not respond.

Up to now, Liu Yifei has only starred in two hit movies. Her career is at its peak, so it is indeed not the time for her to go public.

"I would like to thank Director Zhou Qing for going to the cinema to support my "Assembly". Even Director Zhou Qing went to see it. Doesn't this just prove that "Assembly" is a good movie? Is it a movie worth watching?"

Feng Xiaogang, that guy, was good at taking advantage of the popularity and he took the opportunity to hype up "Assembly".

You know what, it actually works.

The box office of "Assembly" immediately saw some growth on that day, and the effect was surprisingly good.

However, the box office of "Now You See Me" did not show any obvious decline. The box office revenue taken away by "Assembly" were all from those other cannon fodders.

It did not have any obvious impact on "Now You See Me".

On January 1, "Assembly", which had been released for a month, was withdrawn from theaters across the country, with box office revenue reported at 20 million yuan.

How should I put it? Compared with Feng Xiaogang’s previous film “The Banquet”, it was definitely a huge success.

But the final result still did not meet Feng Xiaogang's expectations.

Why?

Judging from the initial momentum of "Assembly", there is a high probability that this movie will eventually break 2 million!

But the final result was only 1.6 million.

Like "The Warlords", the box office of "Assembly" was also impacted by "Now You See Me".

And it was a big shock.

After all, "The Warlords" was released more than half a month before "Now You See Me" was released.

But "Assembly" is different. Just 10 days after its release, "Now You See Me" came out.

A piece of meat was torn from the mouth of "Assembly".

Still a big piece of meat.

When thinking about this, how could Feng Xiaogang still be excited?

So what about Zhou Qing’s “Now You See Me”?

So far, it has raked in 3.8 million yuan at the box office.

It’s only a matter of time before the film reaches the final box office milestone of 4 million yuan.

Right now, no one doubts that the box office of "Now You See Me" will exceed 4 million yuan. After all, the movie still has 10 days left in its release, so there is no problem in breaking 4 million yuan.

The only question is, when will Now You See Me be released?
"4 million box office? Great, that's great. It won't take a few days."

Han Sanping, one of the producers, was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

This movie "Now You See Me" made him the star of the show in China Film Group.

Since the release of "Now You See Me", San Ye has been walking with the wind in China Film.

Now that "Now You See Me" is about to break the record in film history again like "Painted Skin" and become the first movie to break 4 million yuan, Han Sanping is even more excited.

This is a huge achievement!

It's not just Han Sanping, the same is true for Ren Zhonglun and Jiang Defu.

"Now You See Me" will leave a strong mark on the resumes of both of them!
"In three days, Now You See Me will surpass 4 million!"

Liu Yifei hasn't even had the appetite to eat these past two days, as all her thoughts are focused on the box office of "Now You See Me".

The movie has been released for 20 days now, and although it has shown some signs of weakness, its daily box office is still as high as 800 million.

If this momentum continues, "Now You See Me" will officially break 4 million in just three more days.

The facts were just as Liu Yifei expected. In the next three days, "Now You See Me" earned 821 million, 800 million, and 780 million respectively.

The total box office of "Now You See Me" officially exceeded 4 million, reaching 4.04 million.

"It's over 4 million, Zhou Qing, our movie really has over 4 million!"

"I am the first leading actress in a 4 million box office movie!"

Liu Yifei could jump as high as three meters, and the sound almost pierced Zhou Qing's eardrums.

"Yes, Sissi, our movie has made over 4 million."

Zhou Qing also felt very excited, his face was flushed with joy.

Even though he previously thought that the box office of Now You See Me could surpass that of Painted Skin, to be honest, he didn't expect that it would actually break 4 million in the end.

You have to know that at that time, except for "Painted Skin", no domestic film had broken 3 million.

As a result, he made 4 million yuan in one go.

This feeling can be summed up in two words: pleasure!

Every pore feels extremely pleasant.

There is no doubt that both "Painted Skin" and "Now You See Me" will be written into film history.

"Director Zhou, congratulations to Now You See Me for breaking the 4 million box office mark! It set a new record!"

Zhao Liying from the studio sent her heartfelt blessings as soon as possible.

"Haha, we are happy together."

Zhou Qing was in a very good mood.

"Now You See Me" was released 23 days ago and the box office has exceeded 4 million, becoming the first Chinese-language film to exceed 4 million."

"Breaking the record again! Following the 3 million box office record of Painted Skin, Director Zhou Qing has set a new record again! Now You See Me has broken the 4 million box office!"

"Now You See Me has earned an astonishing 4 million yuan at the box office. Director Zhou Qing has brought Chinese-language films into the 4 million yuan box office era."

The box office data of "Now You See Me" was soon revealed, which immediately caused an uproar in the entire Chinese language community.

All the relevant practitioners in the industry were confused.

Over 4 million?

Has it broken 4 billion already?

It really broke 4 million!

What the hell, do you really want to stimulate everyone's heart like this?

Now, among all the movies in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, except for Director Zhou's "Painted Skin", no one can reach 3 million.

The one that comes closest to this result is Master Zhang’s “Curse of the Golden Flower”!
You know, that’s Master Zhang!

Even Master Zhang couldn't break the 3 million box office record set by Director Zhou's "Painted Skin".

Then there is no need to mention those other directors.

Whether it is Chen Shishi or Feng Xiaogang, who are also famous directors from mainland China, they are much worse.

As a result, the box office of "Painted Skin" of 3 million is still leading the pack. Director Zhou turned around and made another movie with a box office of 4 million!
