Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"Director Zhou, this is... too fierce!"

The entire circle was stunned, some even a little dumbfounded.

When the first-day box office of "Source Code" exceeded 3000 million was announced, everyone knew that "Source Code" had hit again.

But no one expected that "Source Code" would be so powerful.

In just two weeks, the total box office has reached nearly 5 million!

In one fell swoop, it regained the box office champion in the history of Chinese-language films that Director Zhou had lost.

It is so easy and enjoyable, even effortless.

Judging from the current momentum, Director Zhou's estimate of 5 million box office is really too conservative.

This movie will have no problem breaking 6 million.

Even 7 million can be expected.

When they thought about the fact that there would be a movie with a box office of over 7 million in the history of Chinese entertainment, many people subconsciously took a breath.

That’s 7 million!
You have to know that the upper limit of Chinese-language films these days is just over 4 million, less than 5 million.

Can Director Zhou really create such amazing history again?

"The box office of Source Code has surpassed that of Founding of a Republic?"

Han Sanping was a little slow to react and was stunned.

"Founding of a Republic" finally brought him some glory, surpassing "Now You See Me" in one fell swoop and winning the box office champion in the history of Chinese entertainment films.

As a result, he only held this position for more than two months before it was taken back by Director Zhou.

Even Source Code has only been out for two weeks!

It’s fierce. This is really too fierce.

Then let’s look at another movie about the “Zhang Zhou dispute”, “Three Shots Surprise”?

It has become a complete joke.

The box office on the first day was so impressive, at 2100 million, and the box office in the first week was also so impressive, at nearly 2 million.

As a result, in just two weeks, the daily box office fell below 500 million!

Remember, it's only been two weeks.

It can no longer be called a collapse, it is a complete blood collapse.

The total box office did break 2 million, but it was stuck at 2 million. It is estimated that it will not exceed 2.5 million.

What about breaking 3 million or 4 million? It's a complete joke.

As for Jay Chou's "刺陵", it is in a similar situation to "三枪", and the Japanese box office also collapsed to the point where it was unbearable to watch.

The total box office will probably not even break 2 million, let alone million.

At most, 70 or 80 million would be the maximum.

You should know that the cost of this film is as high as more than 1 million yuan, and the investor has already fainted in the toilet crying.

It is also worth mentioning that the total box office of "Twilight 2" has also come out, and the results are very impressive.

It is so dazzling that it can even be said to be blinding.

Not only did its total North American box office reach 2.9 million US dollars, but its global total box office has also reached 7.1 million!

What does 7.1 million mean?
Nearly 50 billion RMB!

You have to remember that this was only at the end of 09.

To say it was explosive is no exaggeration at all.

What's more important?
The cost of "Twilight 2" is really low, only 5000 million US dollars.

With a cost of 5000 million, the box office revenue reached 7 million. This return on investment is really enviable!
"Director Zhou, congratulations! Twilight 2 is a hit again, and it's a huge hit!"

Director Yang called Zhou Qing specifically to report the matter, and his voice could not conceal his excitement.

Even in Director Yang's career, he has never seen such a successful film project.

I can only say that Director Zhou has an amazing vision. He discovered the value of this novel before "Twilight" became a hit.

Then we acquired the copyright in one fell swoop, which led to our current winning situation.

"At the celebration party, Mr. Feige talked to me and we unanimously decided to develop the third part as soon as possible."

"Not just the third part, but also the fourth and fifth parts. We want to develop them all."

"We believe that the Twilight series will be the most popular film series after the Harry Potter series!"

Director Yang described to Zhou Qing the bright future of the "Twilight" series, and he was so excited.

"Do your best. I believe you can do it."

Zhou Qing encouraged Director Yang.

He was not just giving Director Yang some empty words. As a person who had been reborn, he knew that this was absolutely a fact.

The popularity of the "Twilight" series is indeed second only to the "Harry Potter" series.

Looking at the global film industry, this is an extremely huge success story.

The filming of "The Witch" is still progressing in an orderly manner.

Although Li Duomei's life is poor and hard, her family is happy and warm.

The heroine also participated in a talent show at the suggestion of her good friend Zhang Mingxi to make money to supplement the family income.

But what neither of them expected was that Lee Da-mi was immediately targeted by the secret organization behind her as soon as she passed the audition.

The cold-blooded killer uncle Wang Baoqiang came to the door in person.

"Is everyone ready?"

On the set, Zhou Qing confirmed with the various units that were busy.

"Everything is ready, Director Zhou."

After making sure that everything was fine, Zhou Qing sat back behind the monitor and started filming seriously.

"Speaking of which, Duomei, how about I be your manager after you debut?"

In front of the camera, Zhao Liying and Liu Yifei, sitting side by side on the train, were looking forward to the future with great interest.

Liu Yifei performed well in the last talent show and has passed the audition.

So next, they will go to the Beijing competition area for the next round of qualifying matches.

"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't you bring Sprite? Hurry up and give me some. I'm choking to death."

Liu Yifei was eating something in big mouthfuls and waving at Zhao Liying.

"Hurry up, hurry up, eat slowly, you're starving to death."

Zhao Liying hurriedly handed the Sprite to Liu Yifei, who took it and gulped it down.

"Have you decided what song you want to sing this time?"

"It's too early, let's talk about it when we get to the capital."

"I said you are really careless. You don't take it seriously at all."

Behind the monitor, Zhou Qing couldn't help but nodded secretly.

With Liu Yifei's acting skills, it would be no problem for her to handle such daily conversation scenes.

Zhou Qing's main concern was Zhao Liying.

However, Zhao Liying has undergone nearly two years of training and has now appeared in some works, and her acting skills are also above the passing line.

There is no problem in performing.

As for Wang Baoqiang who will appear next?
Needless to say, there is no need to say more.

In front of Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying, it is no exaggeration to say that she is overwhelmingly superior.

"Haha, oh, you almost made me die of laughter."

Wang Baoqiang, who was sitting opposite Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying and reading a magazine with a book covering his face, suddenly laughed out loud. He was very arrogant and had a kind of evil nature. It was obvious that he was not a good person.

Especially when Wang Baoqiang put the magazine down and completely revealed his face, what acting is was clearly demonstrated.

A simple smile made Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying on the opposite side feel a little uneasy.

Baoqiang’s acting is so damn realistic, isn’t it?

"Participating in a talent show? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard."

Wang Baoqiang sneered.

Lee Da-mi is the most successful experimental subject in their company!
"Who are you, uncle? Are you talking to me?"

Liu Yifei was very unhappy and looked at Wang Baoqiang as if he was a lunatic, with a very rude tone.

"Crack!"

Zhou Qing stood up and came to Liu Yifei.

"Xixi, you need to show some layers here."

"On the surface, you don't know Baoqiang, but in fact, that's all pretending. The reason why Baoqiang showed up was because you deliberately lured him in."

"So what you have to act is not that you don't know Bao Qiang, but 'pretend not to know Bao Qiang'."

Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei discussed in detail the problems with each other's performance.

"I'll think about it."

The girl hesitated for a moment, and took two consecutive photos before she finally finished taking this shot.

"Director Zhou."

Wu Jing called Zhou Qing and told him a piece of news.

His finished film "The Man from Nowhere" has been released.

However, Zhou Qing is currently busy filming "The Witch" and has no time to watch movies.

Anyway, Zhou Qing trusts Wu Jing's ability. "Wolf Warrior", his second work, is very well filmed.

Zhou Qing believed that "The Man from Nowhere", which was also the other party's second work, would be no different.

What's more, Zhou Qing has already decided on the release date of "The Man from Nowhere", which is in June during the summer vacation next year.

The reason is very simple, and I analyzed it when I was selecting the release date for "Ip Man 2".

There will be a super beast called "Aftershock" in August next summer. If I don't want to go, I can only choose June or July.

But "Ip Man 7" is released in July, so "The Man from Nowhere" can only be released in June.

It is only the end of December now, and "The Witch" can be completed in three months at most, so it will be completely in time to watch the movie then.

Even if there is something that needs to be adjusted, there is enough time.

Zhou Qing made the decision on this matter very happily.

It is also worth mentioning that Ning Hao’s finished film “No Man’s Land” has also been released.

Even the copy had been sent to Berlin by Ning Hao.

In other words, the entire registration process is completed. Next, we just need to wait for news from Berlin.

"Don't worry, senior brother. I can't say whether I can win the award, but I will definitely be shortlisted."

Zhou Qing also gave Ning Hao some encouragement.

This is definitely not to fool Ning Hao. You should know that in the original time and space, "No Man's Land" was shortlisted for the main competition unit in Berlin.

In Zhou Qing's opinion, this version of "No Man's Land" is better than the original "No Man's Land".

That's even less of a problem.

"Then I accept your good advice."

Ning Hao was very happy to receive Zhou Qing's recognition and support.

He is the director of this film, so he knows exactly how it goes.

Ning Hao is also full of confidence about this trip to Berlin!
"Source Code" has been showing impressive momentum throughout December. After earning 12 million in two weeks, it earned another 4.7 million in the third week.

At the end of December, the total box office reached a strong 12 million!
What does 6.3 million mean?
The first in history!

Throughout the history of Chinese entertainment, there has never been a movie that grossed over 6 million yuan.

Source Code sets a new record!

What's even more terrible?
This is the data for "Source Code" after three weeks of release.

There are still more than ten days until the next release!

Therefore, the possibility of "Source Code" box office exceeding 7 million is very, very high.

The entire community was very excited, with every pair of eyes fixed on "Source Code".

Everyone wants to witness with their own eyes whether the first movie in the history of Chinese entertainment to break 7 million yuan will be born.

However, Zhou Qing was not so sure about this.

All I can say is that we can look forward to it.

In fact, if we only look at the box office performance of "Source Code" without considering other things, Zhou Qing can be sure that there will be no problem in breaking 7 million.

Not a problem at all.

But the key issue is that in January of 10, a super blockbuster movie was released.

"Avatar"!
Other people in the industry may not take it too seriously and just regard "Avatar" as an ordinary Hollywood blockbuster.

But only Zhou Qing knows how awesome this movie is!
13 billion RMB!
By that time, the box office will probably blind everyone’s eyes, right?

"No Man's Land is a classic example of Chinese black humor. The iron triangle of Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo will meet you in February."

"Produced by Zhou Qing Pictures and directed by Ning Hao, No Man's Land is on the roadshow in Beijing. Huang Bo sings on the spot."

"Director Ning Hao's No Man's Land roadshow received rave reviews in many cities, and Ning Hao and Xu Zheng exposed each other's shortcomings on the spot."

Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" is scheduled to be released on February 2, and has now begun comprehensive publicity and promotion.

With Ning Hao's current rank and Zhou Qing's reputation as a top star, it goes without saying that No Man's Land is gaining popularity and attention.

It is no exaggeration to say that we are far ahead.

Although "Little Big Soldier" and "The King's Guards", which were also released in February, were also promoted in full swing.

Among them, "Little Big Soldier" was starred by Cheng Long.

But the popularity of these two is actually not as high as "No Man's Land".

"Little Big Soldier" is actually not that bad, because it has the superstar Jackie Chan anyway.

But "The Imperial Guards" is really inferior.

You have to know that at that time, Zhen Zidan, without the help of "Ip Man", actually had no appeal.

Generally speaking, the best game is actually "No Man's Land".

"I put a lot of effort into this movie. I personally think it is the best movie I have ever made."

"Personally, I hope it will be the highest-grossing of all my films."

Ning Hao has really big ambitions for "No Man's Land". He not only hopes that "No Man's Land" can win a big award, but also hopes that "No Man's Land" can be a big hit at the box office.

Like Zhou Qing's films, they achieved great success in both awards and art.

So the question is, does Ning Hao have this ability?
It really does.

"No Man's Land" finally achieved both critical acclaim and box office success.

"I've seen No Man's Land, directed by Ning Hao. It's both interesting and profound. I highly recommend it."

While Zhou Qing was busy filming "The Witch", he also posted on Weibo to help Ning Hao promote his work.

After all, this movie is an exclusive production of Zhou Qing Pictures. Helping Ning Hao is actually helping yourself.

It immediately contributed some popularity to "No Man's Land". (End of this chapter)
