Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

The post-production of "The Revenant" is actually not complicated, especially for a hacker like Zhou Qing.

You should know that as the owner of the system, Zhou Qing not only has the maximum level of directing and screenwriting skills.

Even some other behind-the-scenes skills such as editing and dubbing have been upgraded to the maximum level.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Qing can handle all the post-production work by himself.

Of course, this is generally not necessary.

Except for the most important editing, which Zhou Qing does himself, it is better to leave other related work to a professional team.

With Zhou Qing supervising, the quality will definitely be good.

Even the overall efficiency is faster than usual.

Based on the progress in August, Zhou Qing estimated that the post-production of "The Revenant" could be completed in two months.

That means around mid-October, or at most late October.

November will never come.

The only pity is that it cannot be completed before October 10th.

But this is actually not a big problem for Zhou Qing.

As for the remaining tail, we can just take it back to Zhou Qing Pictures to do it.

This way you can avoid going back and forth.

"Director Yang."

So at the end of September, Zhou Qing directly instructed Director Yang to book a flight for him back to Beijing.

"Director Zhou, has the post-production of The Revenant been completed? Will The Revenant participate in the next Oscars?"

"Director Zhou, do you think The Revenant can achieve the same good results as Life of Pi?"

"Director Zhou, you have filmed two Hollywood movies in a row. Does this mean that your work focus will shift to Hollywood?"

Originally Zhou Qing thought his whereabouts were secretive enough, but he didn't expect to be blocked by the media in the first place.

After struggling for more than half an hour, I finally got out.

"You're finally back. I'm almost annoyed to death by those people."

Not long after reuniting with Liu Yifei, the girl couldn't help but complain wildly in front of Zhou Qing.

I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Once upon a time, this girl was also a top star in the circle, with great popularity among the public and countless fans.

I don’t know how many people’s white moonlight she is.

But since her relationship with Zhou Qing was made public, the girl discovered that many people were paying attention to her because of Zhou Qing.

Some messages from fans, including some interviews from the media, were all because of Zhou Qing.

This made the girl a little uncomfortable to adapt to.

Especially recently Zhou Qingxin started filming the Hollywood blockbuster "The Revenant", and since he can't be contacted in Hollywood, then he can only contact Liu Yifei.

"Please forgive me. Who told you to find such a cool husband?"

Zhou Qing showed off in front of the girl.

"Do your fans know you are so narcissistic?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhou Qing.

However, although she was harsh in her words, the girl had to admit that Zhou Qing was definitely the most influential male star in the Chinese entertainment industry, no doubt about it.

This is a guy who combines a top director, a big investor and a top actor into one.

Who can compete with it?

"Director Zhou."

After a brief rest, Zhou Qing returned to Zhou Qing Pictures.

However, he did not rush to do the post-production of "The Revenant" immediately, but first communicated with Director Chen.

It has been nearly five months since he started filming "The Revenant" in May.

It's been a long time indeed.

"'Detective Chinatown' and 'Go Away Tumor' have both finished filming and we are busy with post-production."

"Ip Man 4 started filming last month and is expected to wrap up in December."

"The Journey of Flower, starring Zhao Liying, started filming in June and will be finished next month."

"There is also the drama 'Nirvana in Fire' directed by Kong Sheng, which is expected to start filming in October."

A simple calculation shows that this year is also a fruitful year for Zhou Qing Pictures.

Even though only three movies were produced, there are also two TV series under control.

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, it is a hit.

Especially these three movies, they are not just ordinary hits, but the best hits among the best hits.

The box office potential of each film is extremely huge.

If there is any regret, it is the lack of a film directed by Zhou Qing himself, which is a real killer.

"Liying's last film, The Four, was released three days ago, with a total box office of 1.87 million yuan."

Director Yang also reported on the box office of The Four 3.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing nodded with satisfaction.

The box office of 1.87 million is slightly less than the 1.92 million in the original time and space, but it is generally within Zhou Qing's expectations.

Considering Zhao Liying's level, this is a very successful work.

Even though the "Four" series has not had a very good reputation, these three movies are undoubtedly Zhao Liying's representative works.

"By the way, Director Zhou, Shanying has picked out another novel."

Another novel?
Zhou Qing reacted almost immediately: "Is it "Spy War in Shanghai"? "

"Spy War in Shanghai" is the original novel of the popular TV series "The Disguiser".

"Director Zhou, can you guess this?"

Director Chen looked at Zhou Qing in surprise.

"After much thought, I think this is the only novel that suits Shanying's taste."

Zhou Qing smiled lightly.

Director Chen was even more impressed.

I can only say that Director Zhou is worthy of being Director Zhou. He is so awesome that he can grasp the style of Shanying so accurately.

This is not something that just anyone can do.

"Have they said who's going to adapt the script and who's going to direct it?"

Zhou Qing did not rush to answer, but asked back calmly.

"They plan to have Zhang Yong be the screenwriter and Li Xue be the director."

Director Chen answered truthfully.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart.

This director and screenwriter are indeed the original team of "The Disguiser".

Zhou Qing felt more at ease letting these two people take the lead.

"I have one condition. The male lead Mingtai will be played by Zhu Yawen. Go talk to them."

Zhou Qing casually gave an order to Director Chen.

There were indeed no suitable roles in "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Journey of Flower", so Zhou Qing did not make any requests at the time.

But spy war dramas like "The Disguiser" are exactly Zhu Yawen's comfort zone, so how could Zhou Qing remain indifferent?

Rather than giving it to Brother Hu for free, it would be more natural for him to take care of his own artists.

So will Shanying accept Zhou Qing’s request to send people there?
Zhou Qing was not worried about this at all.

First of all, Zhou Qing is the copyright owner.

Secondly, Zhou Qing did not insert people randomly, he inserted actors who were suitable for the roles.

Although Zhou Qing knew that Shanying valued Hu Ge more, he felt that in this situation, the other party would definitely know how to make a choice. Moreover, from a market perspective, choosing Zhu Yawen is much more appropriate than choosing Hu Ge.

After all, Zhu Yawen's status is not comparable to that of Brother Hu.

So considering all the circumstances, Zhou Qing felt that there should be no problem in letting Zhu Yawen play Mingtai.

"Understood, Director Zhou."

Director Chen responded immediately.

The two sides discussed some other related matters, and Director Chen went to work in a hurry.

As for Zhou Qing himself, he also started to continue the post-production work of "The Revenant".

"Director Zhou, I heard you're back from Hollywood?"

What Zhou Qing didn't expect was that after just a few days of being busy, Han Sanping called him personally.

"Boss Han, you are really well-informed. I just came back a few days ago."

Zhou Qing didn't know the purpose of Han Sanping's call, so he began to greet the other party politely.

"What's so informative about you? You were even photographed by reporters at the airport."

Han Sanping's laughter sounded very hearty, and then he turned around seemingly unintentionally, "Also, now, I am no longer Mr. Han."

Zhou Qing was slightly stunned, then he reacted immediately.

Han Sanping retreated!
In fact, he had known for a long time that when China Film Corporation changed its leadership in September this year, the chairman Han Sanping would directly retire at that time.

It's just that I've been busy in Hollywood and haven't had time to pay attention to it.

But because of this, Zhou Qing became more and more curious about Han Sanping's intentions.

You're not even working at China Film Group anymore, so it can't still be a work related matter, right?
So, was it because of personal matters that Han Sanping called me this time?

While Zhou Qing was thinking these things, he continued chatting with Han Sanping calmly.

"Director Zhou, are you free these two days? Are you busy? How about we go out for a quick meal together?"

Han Sanping didn't keep talking nonsense. Seeing that the time was about right, he stated his purpose.

It turned out to be a dinner appointment.

But this dinner is not an ordinary dinner.

Because Han Sanping immediately told Zhou Qing that it was not just Zhou Qing and Han Sanping who were having the meal, there was also a third person present.

who?

The current chairman of China Film Group and Han Sanping’s successor is La Peikang.

Zhou Qing understood very well that Han Sanping was not going to have this meal with him.

The "mastermind" behind the scenes must be La Pekang!
The purpose is not difficult to guess. It is nothing more than wanting to continue the good relationship between China Film and Zhou Qing that was developed from Han Sanping.

After all, to be honest, few people are not jealous of the achievements Han Sanping has made during his years in office.

As for who the person was who made Han Sanping successful, everyone knows it clearly.

It can be said that as long as he holds on to Zhou Qing, his great achievements will be secured.

Therefore, it is understandable that La Peikang attaches so much importance to Zhou Qing and asks Han Sanping to organize the event.

Zhou Qing naturally would not refuse this.

China Film Group is a big ship. Even though its influence in the industry has been declining in 14, it still cannot be underestimated.

Zhou Qing has always hoped to maintain a good relationship with China Film Group.

Let’s just talk about the years he and Han Sanping have collaborated.

It is true that I helped Han Sanping make money and gain reputation, but China Film also helped me solve many troubles.

Both parties achieve each other.

So Zhou Qing agreed without any hesitation.

And on the third day, he showed up on time in a nondescript restaurant.

"Director Han..."

Han Sanping arrived first, and when he saw Zhou Qing he immediately stood up and began to entertain him enthusiastically.

"I have retired now and have no official position. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Han."

Han Sanping said to Zhou Qing with a warm smile on his face.

Uncle San is 61 years old this year. He is a real elder and definitely deserves the title of “Uncle”.

Zhou Qing did not act pretentiously in front of Han Sanping and called out "Uncle Han" very naturally.

Han Sanping laughed so hard that all the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out.

"I will be an idle person from now on, and I won't have so many messy things to do. If you are free, come to my house more often."

Before La Peikang arrived, Zhou Qing started chatting with Han Sanping about family matters.

Although he has retired, Han Sanping is still as close to Zhou Qing as ever.

Even if not for himself, the Third Master would consider his beloved daughter Han Jianu.

This will become one of Han Jianuo's most important connections from now on.

Zhou Qing continued to respect Han Sanping.

People in a position like Han Sanping still have great power even after retiring.

Squeak!

After a while of chatting and laughing in a good atmosphere, the door of the private room was pushed open.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked much softer than Han Sanping, strode in.

Without a doubt, it must be today's protagonist La Peikang.

"Old man, I've been waiting for you."

Han Sanping stood up and greeted La Peikang.

"La Dong..."

Zhou Qing did the same and followed Han Sanping to receive La Peikang.

"Director Zhou, I've actually wanted to meet you for a long time."

La Peikang came here specifically for Zhou Qing, so there is no need to say much about his attitude towards Zhou Qing.

So the whole meal was a joyful and harmonious one.

During this period, various laughter and joyful sounds were heard.

La Peikang also made it clear to Zhou Qing that although Han Sanping had resigned, China Film Group would continue to support Zhou Qing.

I hope Zhou Qing and China Film Group can always maintain a good cooperative relationship.

Where is Zhou Qing?
Same attitude.

So this banquet can be summed up in four words: both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.

"Zhou Qing Pictures' new film 20 Again was a critical and commercial success, easily earning 3210 million at the box office on the first day!"

"With a box office of 3210 million on the first day, 20 Again set a new record in Zhao Liying's acting career."

In early October, "Back to 10" starring Zhao Liying was released and the results were very encouraging.

The box office on the first day exceeded 3000 million.

Although it seems to be the same as the first-day box office of "The Four", don't forget that "The Four" is a series.

It's still a series with terrible reputation.

Not to mention the many big names and the added gimmick of 3D martial arts.

But what about 20 Again?

Since its release, the film has continued the high reputation of Zhou Qing Pictures' works and has received rave reviews!
The first-day box office of 3000 million is definitely not the same as the first-day box office of more than 3 million of "The Four 3000".

Judging from the films released by Zhou Qing Pictures, with the opening of "20 Again", it will be no problem for the total box office to reach to million.

For example, Wu Jing's "No Mercy" had a box office of 3500 million on the first day and a total box office of 5.6 million.

So yes, the movie "20 Again" starring Zhao Liying is a well-deserved hit! (End of this chapter)
