Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

After a brief greeting, the filming continued.

Zhou Qing would not delay the progress of the entire crew because of his personal affairs.

Liu Yifei was also very sensible and did not cause any trouble to the crew.

Basically, I just stayed beside Zhou Qing and watched the crew filming quietly.

"All units, prepare."

"start!"

A new scene depicts Leo's daily suffering.

After struggling to survive in the primeval forest for a while, Leo's injuries worsened.

You have to know that he was almost killed by a black bear before, and his body was covered with scars.

I didn’t use any medicine, so how can I say it will get better?

It looked like he was about to die.

Fortunately, Leo met a kind-hearted indigenous person.

When Little Leo was dying, the other party used "traditional methods" to treat him.

To put it simply, it means stripping off Leo's shirt and making him lie on the haystack.

Then some dried herbs were smeared on Little Li's body, and he lay in front of the burning pile of grass and was smoked.

You have to know that this is a snowy and icy place with thick snow piles all around!

Being shirtless in this kind of weather and breathing in the thick smoke is just amazing.

That sour and refreshing!
Liu Yifei was stunned by what she saw.

My admiration for Leo reached the point of prostrating myself.

"Isn't Leon working too hard when filming?"

After staying in the crew for a few days, Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh secretly to Zhou Qing.

"His professionalism is indeed something that many actors can learn from."

Zhou Qing also spoke highly of Leo.

"But Zhou Qing, why did you write his character so miserably? This must be the most miserable character in history, right?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but complain in front of Zhou Qing again.

After observing the filming site for the past few days and reading the script of "The Revenant", this girl can basically confirm this.

No matter which actor it is, if he really plays the role of Glass, he will probably have to work hard.

"Why do you say I wrote it in a tragic way? This is all due to the needs of the story! The real events were even more tragic than this."

Zhou Qing explained for Liu Yifei.

"A true story? Did the story of The Revenant really happen?"

Liu Yifei showed a look of surprise, she really hadn't thought of this.

"Of course, this is a true event that happened in 1832..."

Zhou Qing briefly introduced the matter of Hugh Glass to Liu Yifei.

The general situation is similar to that in the movie, except that the movie has been appropriately adapted.

Liu Yifei was amazed when she heard this.

Glass is really a tough guy.

"But Zhou Qing, can Leon win the Golden Figure this time? I think he acted pretty well."

The girl is also quite interested in this.

Leonardo DiCaprio's bid for an Oscar has become a hot topic not only in Hollywood, but also in the Chinese entertainment industry.

"From a director's perspective, Leon's performance is impeccable and absolutely worthy of an Oscar winner."

Zhou Qing shrugged, his tone still quite certain, "But whether he can win the Best Actor award depends on those guys in the academy."

"Poor Leon, I hope he can get it this time, otherwise I'm afraid he will go crazy."

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for Leo.

Despite enduring so much pain and suffering, his performance was still pretty good.

If you still can't get it, I'm afraid everyone will go crazy.

"The second billion-dollar movie of 14 was born, and Lost in Thailand grossed 10 billion yuan!"

"The low-budget comedy Lost in Thailand created a box office legend, earning an astonishing 13.4 billion yuan in the summer box office!"

In early July, Lost in Thailand, which had dominated the charts for a month, was withdrawn from theaters, shocking the entire entertainment industry.

It’s broken 10 billion, it’s really broken 10 billion!

Although when the first-day box office figures of "Lost in Thailand" of 8000 million were leaked, everyone could guess that breaking 10 billion would be no problem.

But when the real data came out, everyone was still really shocked.

Without him, it’s too exaggerated.

The box office of 13.4 billion is really too exaggerated.

It's so exaggerated that it's totally unacceptable!
After all, no matter how you look at it, "Lost in Thailand" doesn't have the aura of a billion-dollar box office.

Even with the ironclad numbers right in front of us, there are still countless people in the circle who find it unbelievable and unable to understand.

How did this movie become such a hit?

How did it achieve such explosive box office success?
If you say this movie is good, then of course it is good.

"What Director Zhou produces must be high-quality products" has become a consensus in the industry.

With director Zhou as the screenwriter and Zhou Qing Pictures as the backer, "Lost in Thailand" is certainly a good movie.

But in any case, it won’t reach the level of 10 billion.

impossible!

I can’t figure it out!

This is something that many people in the film industry are puzzled about.

But one thing is certain, Zhou Qing Pictures has created another miracle!

This movie "Lost in Thailand" really made Zhou Qing Pictures a complete winner.

Although Zhou Qing Pictures has never proactively disclosed the cost of "Lost in Thailand", everyone in the industry is not blind.

Considering the scale and production of Lost in Thailand, the cost of more than 3000 million is the limit.

Even if you take into account publicity and promotion, 50 or 60 million is the limit!
As a result, the film grossed over 13 billion yuan at the box office.

With a simple calculation, this "Lost in Thailand" can at least make Zhou Qing Pictures a profit of 4 million!

hiss!
When they thought of this, everyone took a deep breath.

Director Zhou is just robbing people of their money!

"13 billion, congratulations, Baoqiang, you are now a billion-dollar box office hero!"

On the set of "Detective Chinatown", director Chen Sicheng congratulated Wang Baoqiang, with a hint of envy and jealousy in his eyes.

Have the friends who starred in "Soldier Assault" with you reached this level now?

Standing directly at the top of the entire entertainment industry.

After all, these days, there are really not many male protagonists who can generate a box office of 10 billion!
For Chen Sicheng, this achievement was like standing at the foot of a mountain and looking up at the top. He thought he would never be able to reach it.

It was also because of this that Chen Sicheng had the idea of ​​changing his career path and becoming a director.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

So what if he’s the leading actor in a movie with a box office of 10 billion?
Aren't you just going to film under your own hands?
I just hope that my "Detective Chinatown" can be as successful as "Lost in Thailand" and shock the entire entertainment industry.

Xu Zheng and I are in the same situation. If Xu Zheng can do it, why can't I?

Chen Sicheng couldn't help but feel a surge of energy in his chest.

"I didn't expect that Lost in Thailand would have such a high box office! I was also surprised!"

Wang Baoqiang's mouth was almost stretched behind his ears, and his eyes were narrowed into a straight line.

The excitement was about to turn into substance and overflow.

More than 13 billion! Wang Baoqiang still can’t believe it.

This is the third highest-grossing movie in the history of Chinese entertainment, second only to Director Zhou’s "Life of Pi" and "Your Name"!
awesome!

Director Zhou is really awesome!

Wang Baoqiang never dreamed that one day the movie he starred in would be so popular.

You know, although Wang Baoqiang is also a top-tier celebrity, in terms of data, he cannot compare with Huang Bo and Zhu Yawen.

Both of them have many hits. But now?
The movie "Lost in Thailand" allowed Wang Baoqiang to catch up and surpass Huang Bo and Zhu Yawen in one fell swoop.

"No, there's also Lao Huang in Lost in Thailand!"

But on second thought, Wang Baoqiang's smile froze.

Although Huang Bo is only an important supporting role in "Lost in Thailand", if "Lost in Thailand" is included, wouldn't he be a "double 10 billion male lead"?

Good guy!
Wang Baoqiang really wants a good guy.

"13 billion box office! Fortunately, I listened to Qingzi's advice!"

Besides being excited, Huang Bo's biggest feeling was gratitude.

Thinking back to when he wanted to act in "The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel" and rejected "Lost in Thailand", Huang Bo couldn't help but want to cover his face.

If that were the case, he would definitely regret it now.

You should know that "The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel" was released last year, and the total box office was only 2.7 million yuan.

Not even 3 million.

In other words, it's not even a fraction of "Lost in Thailand".

So, Qingzi’s vision is really amazing.

Huang Bo became more and more impressed with Zhou Qing.

"More than 13 billion, not bad."

As the biggest beneficiary, Zhou Qing was naturally very happy.

He is currently filming in Canada and is unaware of the criticisms of many people in the Chinese entertainment industry.

But the benefits that "Lost in Thailand" brought to Zhou Qing were actually roughly calculated by some people.

You have to know that the production cost of "Lost in Thailand" was only 3000 million!

The publicity and promotion cost is also 3000 million!
That means the total cost of making "Lost in Thailand" was only 6000 million!
A cost of 6000 million yuan generated a box office of 13 billion yuan. That's really amazing!
A rough estimate shows that at least 4 million yuan was earned.

So refreshing!
Zhou Qing seemed to be walking on clouds, and even the filming of "The Revenant" felt a little lighter.

It is now July and Liu Yifei has returned to Beijing.

The progress of "The Revenant" has already been completed by more than half.

The next part is also very simple:
Poor Glass struggled to survive in the primeval forest while avoiding being hunted by the primitive tribe.

At the same time, he is also tracking down his archenemy, Teacher Tang.

Every day of filming, Leo is either suffering or on his way to suffering.

Not only did Leo suffer in the play, but he also suffered a lot outside the play.

He even got a lot of frostbite on his body, and once he had a high fever and had to be sent to the hospital.

However, Leo's attitude has not changed at all, and he always maintains extremely high demands on himself.

Continue to abuse yourself without any effort.

Fortunately, the filming was completed in July, and Glass, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, finally went through all the hardships.

Finally, I successfully found my original team.

But Teacher Tang had already heard the news and fled...

Therefore, the filming in August was even simpler, it was nothing more than a showdown between Leo and Tom Cruise.

After two months of filming, "The Revenant" finally reached its climax.

"Attention all units."

"Clear the venue!"

"start!"

In front of the camera, Leo and his captain sat face to face.

"He escaped, didn't he?"

Little Leo stared at the captain with his eyes and guessed in a very confident tone.

There is no doubt that the "he" here refers to his archenemy, Teacher Tang.

Facing Leo's pressing gaze, the captain was speechless and just nodded silently.

"Bridger is telling the truth."

"what happened?"

"Fitzgerald lied to him..."

"He was just following orders."

"He was not present when Fitzgerald killed my son."

"Is that so? He killed Hawke?"

Little Leo was silent for a moment, then turned his head with determination on his face.

"I need a gun and a horse!"

Little Leo is going to personally hunt down his archenemy, Teacher Tang!

"No, you need to eat something and get some rest."

The captain really cares about Leo.

"No, I'm going to track him down."

Leo's words were so decisive.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

Given Leo's level, it is extremely easy for him to handle such a literary drama.

According to the plot, Leo will find Teacher Tang next, and then the two sides will have a final showdown.

However, the specific shooting order is not like this.

Zhou Qing needs to finish filming the scenes at the base camp before he can shoot the final battle.

"Jesus Christ, I can finally take a break."

After taking a look at the progress chart, Little Leo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Teacher Tang has quite a few scenes in the hunting team’s base camp.

Simply put, it is Teacher Tang’s branch line.

It is worth mentioning that the original director took nine months to shoot, in addition to the pursuit of natural light, there was another important reason.

The other party's principle of shooting is to shoot in the order in which things develop, rather than focusing on the location.

This means that you need to travel back and forth to different filming locations, and constantly switch back and forth between the same filming locations.

It is an extremely time-consuming and laborious way of shooting.

Of course, there are benefits, because by shooting in the order of story development, the actors can better immerse themselves in the role.

The poet Chen also used this method when he filmed "Farewell My Concubine".

But for a top director like Zhou Qing, this is not necessary at all.

With his level of training actors, he can fully stimulate the actors' potential.

It doesn't matter whether it is in the order in which things happened or not.

Just like this time.

He first concentrated on filming Mr. Tang's side story for more than a week, and then switched to the "battle between Tang and Li".

It still immediately brought out Leo's acting skills.

Not only was the final decisive battle not affected in the slightest, but it was also another peak of Leo's acting skills.

Especially the last shot.

After Little Leo killed his archenemy, Teacher Tang, he just crawled in the snow and seemed to see his wife in a trance.

That look is really amazing.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

Zhou Qing behind the monitor stood up with great satisfaction.

Then he glanced at the crew members around him and picked up the loudspeaker.

"Now I declare that The Revenant has been completed!" (End of this chapter)
