Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"Auntie."

"Zhou Qing is here, come in quickly."

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Zhou Qing drove his newly bought car to Liu Yifei's house.

There was no other way. After multiple confirmations, Zhou Qing was sure that his previous car had been registered with the media.

If you don't want to attract attention, you can only drive a "black car".

"Where's Sissi?"

After entering the house, Zhou Qing sat down on the sofa without any courtesy.

Now that he and Liu Yifei have met each other's parents, he will be much more casual when visiting his sister's house.

"She's sleeping in the room. This damn girl is such a lazy pig."

While Liu Xiaoli was entertaining Zhou Qing, she couldn't help but complain.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhou Qing was naturally aware of Liu Yifei's two major hobbies: sleeping in and playing with cats.

Under normal circumstances, Liu Yifei would have just slept, but not now.

I have to catch a plane later.

Liu Yifei's contract with Sony expires in June. Now it is the end of May, and there are still some related procedures to go through.

"I'll call her."

Liu Xiaoli greeted Zhou Qing and quickly went upstairs.

"Let me sleep a little longer, Mom~"

"What time is it? Hurry up and get up. Zhou Qing is here."

"Mom, please let me go...let go, Mom. Can't I get up?"

After a commotion, Liu Xiaoli dragged the dazed and yawning Liu Yifei downstairs.

"Your ears were twisted again?"

Zhou Qing, who was sitting on the sofa, wanted to laugh when he saw Liu Yifei's expression.

All I can say is that Liu Xiaoli really has a blood suppression on Liu Yifei.

"I don't know if I've been screwed, but you're about to be screwed."

Liu Yifei rushed to Zhou Qing fiercely and started twisting Zhou Qing's ears.

"Auntie, look at Sissi. She is bullying the honest people again."

While Zhou Qing was laughing and playing with Liu Yifei, he complained to Liu Xiaoli.

"An honest person? You?"

Liu Yifei's face was full of contempt when she heard this.

When she first met Zhou Qing at school and was not familiar with him, she actually thought that Zhou Qing was quite honest.

But now?
"Okay, come over and have breakfast quickly, because we have to catch a plane after breakfast."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head helplessly and called Liu Yifei and Zhou Qing to come for breakfast.

This silly kid is so old, why is he still acting like a child?

"Hello? Mr. Cai?"

During this period, Liu Xiaoli received a phone call, but she obviously didn't want to talk much to the other party. She hung up after a few words.

"Boss Cai? Boss Cai from Sugar Man?"

Zhou Qing made such a guess naturally.

"Who else could it be if not her? I don't know how she knew that Sissi would not renew her contract with Sony, but she has been asking me out for dinner recently. She still refuses to give up."

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but shake her head and complain.

Before Liu Yifei signed with Sony, Tangren had always been thinking about the girl and wanted to sign her.

Later, because Liu Yifei went to Japan to develop her career, things temporarily quieted down. Who would have thought that they would start to stir again at this time.

But is it possible for Liu Xiaoli to let Liu Yifei sign the sugar man?

What a joke.

Liu Xiaoli didn't even consider Liu Yifei when she was in the TV drama circle before, not to mention that Liu Yifei has become a movie star now.

"Boss Cai is very smart."

Zhou Qing agreed with a smile, "I'm afraid it's not just Mr. Cai who has contacted Auntie, right?"

"That's right, let me tell you I'm very popular!"

Liu Yifei raised her head proudly.

It's really not an exaggeration at all. The girl is now a top-tier celebrity, and is indeed the fat piece of meat that many film and television companies are vying for.

It’s just a pity that Zhou Qing has already taken the initiative.

"Aoko."

"Senior brother."

On May 5, "Crazy Racing" held a grand premiere, and Zhou Qing, the exclusive producer, arrived on time.

Speaking of Ning Hao's third novel, it is completely different from his previous works "Crazy Stone" and "Lost on Journey".

There are a lot more people from the circle coming to support the event, whether they are big investors or big stars, the lineup has been comprehensively upgraded.

Of course, Zhou Qing’s factor is involved, but in fact, this factor is gradually weakening.

After all, Ning Hao himself now has a strong appeal.

By the time “Racer” is finished running in theaters, its appeal will be even higher.

You have to know that looking at the entire domestic entertainment industry today, there are really very few members in the billion-dollar directors club.

It's nothing more than Zhang, Chen, Feng and Zhou Qing.

The gold content is still very high.

"After this movie, you won't need my support anymore, brother."

After some greetings, Zhou Qing expressed this sentiment to Ning Hao.

Because since this movie, Ning Hao has been regarded as a top director.

"You are wrong. I need your support at all times."

Ning Hao smiled and said so.

For a great director like Zhou Qing, his appearance in any occasion is of great significance, so how could he not be needed?

It’s just that most people can’t invite Zhou Qing.

"But you seem to be quite optimistic about 'Cars'."

Ning Hao then said excitedly that he naturally understood the implication of Zhou Qing's words.

"Of course. Crazy Racer is so well made, it will definitely be a hit."

Zhou Qing said to Ning Hao with certainty.

"Haha, then I'll borrow your good words."

Ning Hao immediately burst into laughter.

"Director Cao is really decisive. On the 10th of next month, the filming of Li Mi's Conjecture will start."

The leading actor Huang Bo also chatted with Zhou Qing, during which he mentioned Cao Baoping and gave him a thumbs up.

It only took half a month from the time the funds were in place to the start of production!

In Huang Bo's opinion, this is a bit too hasty.

"Teacher Cao has actually been preparing for a long time, but the funds have not been in place, otherwise he would have started filming long ago."

Zhou Qing shook his head and chuckled. To be honest, he understood Cao Baoping's feelings very well.

The other party must have been holding it in for a long time, so he is so impatient.

"Perform well. Li Mi's Conjecture will definitely be one of your masterpieces."

Zhou Qing then spoke to Huang Bo in a serious tone.

"You don't have to tell me, that's for sure."

Huang Bo nodded without thinking. He had already finished reading the script of "Li Mi's Conjecture" recently. It was indeed a good script with very high quality.

According to Huang Bo's judgment, the potential for winning prizes is still very great.

So Huang Bo also put in all his effort and planned to use this movie to make a good breakthrough.

Of course, it is unlikely to go to the three major European film festivals, but it would be good to be able to make it to a domestic film festival.

"Okay, let's go in."

After chatting for a while, Zhou Qing and Huang Bo went into the cinema together.

After the opening sequence, "Crazy Racing" officially started playing on the big screen.

The atmosphere in the entire cinema was completely lifted.

The joyful laughter came one after another and it never stopped.

"The local gangs are so rude, haha, so funny!"

"Xu Zheng is so good at acting in comedies. I want to laugh whenever he appears, even if he doesn't say anything."

"Brother, when gangs rob gangs, they won't call the police. Is this boss trying to make fun of me?"

Looking at the extremely enthusiastic reaction at the scene, Ning Hao and Huang Bo and other main creators could hardly hide their excitement.

They all knew that this movie was a success.

"I know that the movies produced by Director Zhou are trustworthy."

"The golden combination of Director Zhou and Ning Hao is well-deserved."

"There's really no bad movie produced by Director Zhou!"

What made Ning Hao laugh and cry was that he was the director and his wife was the screenwriter, but Zhou Qing ended up making his presence felt again.

It seems that Zhou Qing, the producer, is the real hero.

Of course, even though he complained, Ning Hao actually understood that among the many audience members at the scene, many of them came here just for Zhou Qing.

It can only be said that Zhou Qing’s current appeal is indeed not to be underestimated.

"Director Ning, how much do you think the box office of Crazy Racer will be?"

After the movie, there was an interview session. This question that must be mentioned at the premiere was asked by the media again.

However, "Crazy Racing" is not a big production. According to reports, the investment was only about 10 million yuan.

The media did not mention any topic that could surpass "Now You See Me".

Because anyone with a brain knows that is impossible.

"I guess I'm not good at box office sales, so why not leave this question to our producer?"

This guy Ning Hao shifted his firepower to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing took the microphone without hesitation.

"Everyone has seen Crazy Racer. It's a rare and exquisite comedy. I think it will do well at the box office."

"Based on my experience, I think Crazy Racer will have no problem breaking the 100 million yuan box office, and 200 million yuan is not impossible."

“So my expectation for Crazy Racing is to maintain 100 million and strive for 200 million!”

In front of everyone, Zhou Qing expressed his expectations for "Crazy Racing".

In fact, there is no exaggeration, but a very objective estimate.

After all, the box office of "Crazy Racing" in the original time and space exceeded 100 million, right?
Now with my strong support, the lead actor Huang Bo is much more famous than before, so the box office will of course be higher.

But it sounded different to other people at the scene.

Do you all think that Director Zhou’s tone is a bit too arrogant?

After all, there is no other big name in "Crazy Racing" except Huang Bo.

Even Xu Zheng, the second most famous actor, is just a so-so figure in the film industry.

He is even a super supporting role in "Crazy Stone".

Apart from these, all other actors are little-known actors whose names we have never even heard of.

And they all look ugly.

Just like that, Director Zhou dares to say that it has exceeded 100 million?

You have to know that "The Warlords" was invested with 3 million yuan, starred by Li Lianjie, and the box office was only over 1 million yuan.

"Assembly" is not such a big name, but it is the work of Feng Xiaogang, and the investment is as high as 8000 million, which is also only more than 1 million.

Even the recently released "The Forbidden Kingdom" only grossed over 1 million!

The investment for "Crazy Racing" was only 12 million, but Director Zhou is so confident that it can break 100 million?
Not to mention the other audience members and media at the scene, even director Ning Hao himself didn't have that much confidence.

"Director Ning Hao's third feature film Crazy Racing held its premiere, which was filled with laughter and received rave reviews."

"At the premiere of Crazy Racer, Director Zhou Qing made a bold statement that he would guarantee a box office of 100 million and strive for 200 million."

"The premiere of "Crazy Racing", produced exclusively by Director Zhou Qing, has concluded. Director Zhou optimistically estimates that the box office will be guaranteed to be 100 million yuan."

No matter what the outside world thinks, the popularity of "Crazy Racing" has really been hyped up.

However, most people are not optimistic about Zhou Qing's statement that "Crazy Racing" will have a box office of over 100 million yuan.

After all, judging from the various information about "Crazy Racing" that has been leaked so far, this movie really doesn't have the potential to be such a big hit.

However, when the movie was officially released on June 6 and the first day box office figures were announced, I don't know how many people were shocked.

1200 million!
"Crazy Racing" earned a staggering 1200 million on its first day!
No one expected that "Crazy Racing" would become so popular.

This is 1200 million.

You have to know that with a production of that level and such a luxurious cast, the box office of "The Warlords" was only 1000 million on the first day.

That's not even as high as "Crazy Racing".

Zhou Xingchi's "CJ1200" had a box office of million on the first day, which is the same as "Crazy Traffic".

But what kind of appeal does Zhou Xingchi have?

What kind of influence do these three words "Zhou Xingchi" have?

I can only say that "Crazy Racing" is really fucking scary.

Fortunately, at the premiere, mainstream public opinion was skeptical of Zhou Qing's claim of guaranteeing 100 million and striving for 200 million, and thought that Zhou Qing was exaggerating.

But now it seems that what Zhou Qing said is absolutely correct.

With this terrifying first-day box office, there is really no problem for "Crazy Racing" to have a total box office of over 100 million.

As for the 200 million box office?

It is indeed possible to give it a try.

You should know that the first-day box office of "CJ7" also reached 200 million yuan in total.

For a while, Zhou Qing once again became a big star in the circle.

Many people are so envious and jealous that their eyes are almost turning green.

Director Zhou has a really sharp eye.

With an investment of just 12 million, it turned out to be such a hit. Isn't it incredible?
"Old Huang, after Crazy Racer, you're going to be famous. It'll be no problem for you to become a top star."

Zhou Qing was in a good mood and also sent Huang Bo his best wishes.

Huang Bo is now in a very refreshed and extremely happy mood. It is no exaggeration to say that he is "riding high in the spring breeze".

You have to know that "Crazy Racing" is different from "Now You See Me".

Although the movie was a hit, Huang Bo's contribution was not that great.

After all, director Zhou Qing’s appeal is unparalleled, and there are four leading actors alone.

But what about "Crazy Racing"?

The only real leading actor is Huang Bo!
That’s right, although there are many characters in the multi-line narrative, Geng Hao, played by Huang Bo, is the only core protagonist.

This movie became a hit, and it brought the biggest benefit to Huang Bo.

"Your vision is always very accurate, and I hope you will be just as accurate this time."

Huang Bo smiled at Zhou Qing with a rosy face.

He has already begun to look forward to the day when he will officially become a top celebrity. (End of this chapter)
