Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"What's there to congratulate? It's just a TV show."

"I should be congratulating you. You all starred in movies that grossed 10 billion yuan each."

Although Zhu Yawen looked very proud, he still waved his hands modestly.

Of course, there is some sincerity in it, and that hint of sourness is not fake.

Speaking of the artists under Zhou Qing Pictures, the boss lady Liu Yifei, veterans Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are all the real protagonists of the 10 billion box office.

He even has more than one billion-dollar box office movie.

The only consolation he had was the movie "Life of Pi".

Obviously, he was the one with the strongest momentum at the beginning, but now, he can only barely surpass Zhao Liying.

It is absolutely false to say that Zhu Yawen is not jealous.

"No, no, no, even though we starred in a billion-dollar movie, Lao Zhu, you starred in a TV series that was the most watched."

Huang Bo turned Zhu Yawen's words over and returned them to Zhu Yawen intact.

It is the truth that cannot be more true, but there is also a bit of envy in it.

Speaking of the artists under Zhou Qing Pictures, all of them are developing in both TV dramas and movies, without exception.

Moreover, each of them has achieved very good results on both sides and has popular works.

Let’s not mention Liu Yifei, she is the queen of TV dramas.

Even though he hasn't acted in TV dramas for many years, his influence in the TV drama industry is still significant.

As for Wang Baoqiang, his dramas "The Counterfeiter", "Soldier Assault" and "My Brother is Shunliu" are all super hits.

"The Counterfeiter" won the ratings championship of several channels, "Soldier Assault" is a phenomenal hit drama, and "Shun Liu" even broke the ratings record of CCTV!
As for Zhao Liying, she started with "Chinese Paladin III", then "Scarlet Heart", "Legend of Lu Zhen", and finally "The Journey of Flower".

Each one of them is extremely popular and the statistics are extremely impressive.

Even Zhu Yawen was extremely popular with "The Disguiser" and "The Pretender".

The only exception is Huang Bo, whose starring roles in "The Militiaman Ge Erdan" and "Three Brothers on the Frontline" performed well, but they can only be considered good.

It is far from reaching the popularity of TV series starring other artists.

In the field of TV dramas, Huang Bo's performance is indeed the worst.

"A TV series that is the top-rated is nothing. A movie that grosses 10 billion is more impressive."

"A movie with a box office of 10 billion is nothing. The TV series that tops the ratings is really impressive."

"Okay, both of you, get out of here and stop being an eyesore."

Zhou Qing interrupted Huang Bo and Zhu Yawen, the two annoying guys, with a look of disgust and kicked them both out.

But after that, Zhou Qing fell into deep thought.

The popularity of "The Disguiser" was not unexpected to Zhou Qing. As a reborn person, he had long known the market potential of "The Disguiser".

So Zhou Qing did not pay too much attention to "The Disguiser" and instead started thinking about an important question.

It's time to move on to developing other TV series.

After all, Zhou Qing holds so many copyrights in his hands, he can't just waste them, right?

What's more, for a reborn person like Zhou Qing, developing TV series is simply making money without doing anything.

It’s really not an exaggeration at all.

He only needs to find the original team, and then he doesn't need to worry about anything, and in the end he just has to wait to collect the money.

why not?

Although Zhou Qing's money-making efficiency from TV dramas is not as good as that from movies.

For example, with the previous "Lush", Zhou Qing Pictures only made a profit of about 1000 million yuan without doing anything.

Zhou Qing, a reborn person, also knows that the currently popular TV series "The Disguiser" has brought 6000 million in revenue to the producers.

The 6000 million needs to be divided between Zhou Qing Pictures and Shanying, which can only be divided into to million.

But the key point is, I didn't do anything, I just issued the copyright.

What else is Zhou Qing not satisfied with?
That's so satisfying.

Especially as time goes by, the money-making ability of TV series is getting stronger and stronger.

For example, "Eternal Love" has brought 2 million yuan in revenue to Jiaxing!
This is already very, very impressive.

In this case, why should Zhou Qing stop making TV series?

"Director Chen."

So after some thought, Zhou Qing called Director Chen over.

"I plan to develop the copyrights of the two novels in the company's copyright library and adapt them into TV series."

"The first one is Eternal Love, and the second one is 11 Secret Agents."

Needless to say, "Eternal Love" is the TV series of the same name.

As for “11 Secret Agents”, yes, it is the famous “Princess Agents”.

Both of these dramas began production in 16 and were super hits aired in 17.

"Eternal Love" not only won the ratings championship on many satellite TV stations, but was also extremely popular on the Internet.

It became the first domestic TV series to exceed 500 billion views.

Not only did it earn 2 million yuan for Jiaxing, it also increased Jiaxing's valuation from less than 15 billion to 50 billion.

The commercial potential of the drama is evident.

What about "Princess Agents"?

It is not inferior to the other, it is also a phenomenally popular drama.

It was able to achieve a viewership rating of over 2 even when it was first aired during a non-holiday period, becoming the first domestic TV series to achieve this achievement.

The number of views on the Internet is also astonishing, reaching 400 billion.

To sum it up in one sentence, "The Journey of Flower" was very popular at the time, but "Princess Agents" is even more popular than "The Journey of Flower".

So how is the money-making ability of "Princess Agents"?
Just as powerful.

Although the production cost of the drama was as high as 2 million yuan, it was sold to toilet channels alone for 2.56 million yuan.

In addition, it was sold to iQiyi for 2.69 million yuan.

This was only the first round of broadcast. The second round of broadcast of "Princess Agents" also sold well, with at least 1 million yuan in revenue.

What's even more powerful?
A mobile game of the same name was also developed for "Princess Agents", which made quite a lot of money, totaling 9 million yuan.

It's like making billions without doing anything!
To put it bluntly, the filming of the TV series "Princess Agents" was a complete win-win and a ton of money.

How could Zhou Qing miss such a drama?

"I understand, but Director Zhou, which company should we co-develop these two novels with?"

Director Chen nodded and asked Zhou Qing for his opinion again.

"We won't develop jointly with any company, we'll just develop it ourselves, but I have specific requirements for the director and screenwriter team."

"The chief screenwriter of Eternal Love can be handed over to Hong Huo, and as for the director, let Lin Yufen be the one to direct."

"The chief screenwriter of 11 Secret Agents is Jia Wen, and the director is Wu Jinyuan."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhou Qing gave these instructions to Director Chen.

Needless to say, the director and screenwriter he appointed were all from his original team.

This will ensure that the two hit dramas will not go astray, and Zhou Qing can be at ease as a hands-off manager.

"Understood, Director Zhou."

Director Chen responded and left in a hurry to receive the order.

As for Zhou Qing?

I am still struggling to contact the film producers and sell the copyright of "Dying to Survive".

It’s just a pity that, given that the movie “Dying to Survive” itself does not have much appeal in the global market, even Zhou Qing may not be able to drive it.

By the end of November, all the copyrights of "Dying to Survive" had sold for a total of 11 million US dollars.

It did not reach Zhou Qing's original estimate of 2000 million US dollars.

But anyway, even if it is only 1800 million US dollars, converted into RMB, it is 1.24 million.

Compared with the original time and space, it is much stronger, and Zhou Qing is quite satisfied with it.

"Ip Man 4, released by Zhou Qing Pictures, was a huge hit at the box office, with the box office exceeding million yuan on the first day."

"Another movie that broke 4 million yuan in one day was born. Ip Man 1.02 took million yuan in box office on the first day of its release!"

"The premiere of the final chapter of the Ip Man series was very successful, with a first-day box office of 1.02 million, leading the Lunar New Year box office!"

On December 12, the last film in the Ip Man series, Ip Man 1, was released, and the results were unsurprisingly stunning.

Its first-day box office surpassed the previous "Detective Chinatown" and achieved the impressive achievement of over 100 million yuan.

It became the third Chinese-language film this year to gross over 100 million yuan on the first day, following "Monster Hunt" and "The Pancake Man".

It is also the first action and kung fu film to gross over 100 million yuan on the first day!

I have to say that this result is really impressive, and it can be said that it completely exceeds the general expectations in the circle.

Everyone knew that "Ip Man 4" would perform well, but no one expected it to be this good.

The box office on the first day has exceeded 4 million yuan. Doesn’t that mean there is no doubt that the total box office of "Ip Man 10" will exceed billion yuan?

Will Zhou Qing Pictures really have another billion-level box office movie?

Are you done yet?

Why are there so many billion-dollar movies being released one after another?
Could you please stop stimulating everyone's hearts?

All the colleagues in the circle were really disappointed by Zhou Qing.

As for the male lead of "Ip Man 4", Zhao Wenzhuo, needless to say, he is almost going crazy with joy.

Am I going to become the leading actor of a billion-dollar box office movie?

You have to know that even in this day and age, billion-box office movies are emerging one after another, and even 10 billion-box office movies have come out.

But the box office achievement of 10 billion is still a mountain that people look up to.

For Zhao Wenzhuo, it is definitely a huge bonus that the movie he starred in can break 10 billion.

At this time, the leading actor in a movie with a box office of 10 billion is still very valuable.

Of course, the same is true for Yip Wai-hsin. After "Ip Man 4", he will step into the 10 billion director club.

His career will reach its peak.

"It's a pity, it's such a pity."

But it was precisely because of this that Ye Weixin kept sighing and lamenting.

"Ip Man 4" is the last film in the Ip Man series, and Director Zhou has decided not to continue developing it.

What a shame.

"not bad."

As the exclusive producer, Zhou Qing is quite satisfied with this result.

But as a person who has been reborn, I was not too surprised by this, so I didn't worry too much about it.

Instead, they immediately gathered together the main creators of "Dying to Survive", including Huang Bo, Tan Zhuo, and Wang Chuanjun.

"Dying to Survive" will be released next month, and it's time to start intensive promotion.

This "Dying to Survive" is Zhou Qing's second return to the Chinese-language film market since "Your Name" in 11.

Zhou Qing actually takes it very seriously.

Of course, it's not just him. Huang Bo, Wang Chuanjun, Tan Chao and others also need to pay more attention to three-pointers.

Huang Bo’s words are fine, but for several other people, this film is a work that can truly change their destiny.

Even when the cast was revealed, their popularity soared.

This shows how awesome the films directed by Zhou Qing are.

Now that the film is actually being released, how can anyone slack off for a moment?

Under such circumstances, the main creators of "Dying to Survive" can be said to be working quite hard on the upcoming roadshows and offline activities.

As for the effect, there is definitely nothing to say.

"Director Zhou, as a film director, can you tell me which scene in the movie touched you the most?"

At the roadshow, director Zhou Qing led the main creators to interact with the audience.

The response on site can be said to be very enthusiastic.

“In fact, there are many touching moments in ‘Dying to Survive’. Personally, I think the scene with Teacher Wei Qing is quite shocking.”

What Zhou Qing is talking about here is the part that says "We finally got cheap medicine, but you insisted that it was fake."

I have to say that Wei Qing's performance was really great. Zhou Qing clearly remembered that everyone on the set was infected.

"All the actors in 'Dying to Survive' have contributed wonderful acting skills. Who do you think performed the best?"

"Actually, everyone performed well. There's no one best. But if I had to say who impressed everyone the most, I think it should be Chuan Jun. His performance in 'Dying to Survive' must have surprised many people, right?"

"Huang Bo, you've played a lot of comedies before. How do you feel about playing such a serious and even somewhat tragic character now?"

"It really touched me. When I read the script, I was deeply moved. I thought at that time, I must play such a good role..."

Huang Bo was right next to the host and started talking in front of the audience.

People like Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Yu, Tan Zhuo and others were also called out one after another.

The overall roadshow atmosphere can be described as extremely hot.

Including watching the movie, it lasted more than 4 hours in total.

To be honest, everyone is more or less tired.

But seeing such enthusiastic feedback on the spot and the high enthusiasm of the audience, everyone was still extremely excited.

It was as if I had been injected with chicken blood, and I felt full of strength all over my body.

We continued to devote ourselves to roadshow after roadshow with great enthusiasm and 120% energy.

"Director Zhou Qing's new film "Dying to Survive" has started its national roadshow, and the response has been extremely enthusiastic."

"The first broadcast of 'Dying to Survive' has received positive reviews, with 100% positive reviews and no negative reviews."

"Director Zhou Qing returned to his alma mater with "Dying to Survive", which caused a sensation at Beijing Film Academy."

Thanks to the efforts of Zhou Qing and other main creators, the popularity of "Dying to Survive" was completely hyped up.

In particular, the high reputation and high quality of "Dying to Survive" spread throughout the entire circle.

It ignited everyone's expectations. (End of this chapter)
