Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

The film market in December was completely revitalized by Zhou Qing Pictures.

While "Dying to Survive" is making its presence felt, "Ip Man 4" is sweeping the box office like a whirlwind.

It has no rivals, whether it is other domestic films or imported Hollywood blockbusters.

In just two weeks, the total box office of "Ip Man 4" has reached 8.8 million!
There is only a gap of 10 million yuan to the 1.2 billion box office mark.

With the momentum of "Ip Man 4", will it be difficult to earn another 1.2 million in the remaining two weeks of its release?
It's just like playing.

So yes, it is a foregone conclusion that "Ip Man 4" will break 10 billion, there is no doubt about it.

The only question is how high "Ip Man 4" can go.

“Isn’t ‘Ip Man 4’ too good? I’m afraid it will surpass ‘Lost in Thailand’?”

Huang Bo couldn't help but sigh like this, and felt a faint sense of crisis.

It’s really unreasonable for a kung fu movie to have such a low box office, right?
This is no longer the golden age of martial arts and kung fu films of thirty years ago.

Kung Fu movies have long been in decline.

It’s fierce. It’s really fierce.

“Even if Ip Man 4 can surpass your Lost in Thailand, it can’t surpass Medicine God. Relax your mind.”

Zhou Qing said to Huang Bo with a smile.

Although the voice was not loud, it revealed extremely strong self-confidence.

"Look at what you said. I have always believed that 'Dying to Survive' will be a big hit."

Seeing Zhou Qing was so optimistic about "Dying to Survive", Huang Bo, the lead actor, was extremely excited.

"If you ask me, 'Dying to Survive' will definitely break a new record!"

Huang Bo added again.

But this is just a pure blessing.

Even if Huang Bo is optimistic about "Dying to Survive", he doesn't think it can surpass "Monster Hunt".

“Yes, Dying to Survive will definitely set a new record.”

Wang Chuanjun, Tan Zhuo and others on the side also echoed.

“Then let’s all work harder and try to help ‘Dying to Survive’ achieve this.”

Director Zhou Qing took the opportunity to give everyone a boost and continued to lead everyone in the vigorous promotion.

Let the movie "Dying to Survive" once again make its presence felt in the circle.

"The premiere of Mr. Six gathered half of the entertainment industry, and Xu Fan confessed his love for Feng Xiaogang on the spot."

"The premiere of Mr. Six was attended by many stars on the red carpet, including Ge Youfan, Bingbing and many other big names."

In addition to Zhou Qing's "Dying to Survive", Feng Xiaogang's "Mr. Six" also attracted much attention.

In any case, this is also a movie starring Feng Xiaogang, a top mainland director.

At this point in December, this film can be said to be the top blockbuster second only to "Dying to Survive".

Its popularity even overshadowed the sweeping "Ip Man 4".

This is not surprising. No matter how powerful "Ip Man 4" is, how can the lineup in front of and behind the scenes compare with Feng Xiaogang?
Even if Feng Xiaogang ranks last among the top directors in mainland China, he is still a top director.

That rank is also the best in the circle.

Especially the premiere of "Mr. Six", the scene was huge.

In addition to the main creators of the film, there were also groups of big stars coming to the scene to support the film, which was enough to dazzle people's eyes.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a star-studded cast.

The popularity of "Old Cannon" was directly pushed to a peak.

Many people in the industry feel that the box office of "Mr. Six" cannot be said to have surpassed "Dying to Survive", after all, Feng Xiaogang has never won against Zhou Qing.

But it shouldn't be a big problem to surpass "Ip Man 4".

This is the first time that Feng Xiaogang, a top mainland director, plays a leading role. Isn't it worth billions?

It's totally worth it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the biggest selling point of "Mr. Six" is the leading actor Feng Xiaogang.

So what is the truth?

"Old Cannon" was officially released on December 12, and the first day's box office was quickly revealed.

5000 million.

Is 5000 million a high first-day box office?
Without a doubt, it is of course very high.

Even though "Monster Hunt" has raised the upper limit of Chinese-language films to more than 20 billion.

But a first-day box office of 5000 million is not something that just any movie can achieve.

This achievement can be called a real hit.

In particular, the reputation of "Mr. Six" is quite good, and it has been highly praised by people in the circle.

This made the momentum of "Mr. Six" very strong, and the box office continued to decline in the following days.

5700 million, 6700 million, 7100 million, in just four days, 2.5 million were earned!

This data is really very impressive.

The only embarrassing thing is that the data of "Mr. Six" is far from that of "Ip Man 4".

A first-day box office of 5000 million is good, but it is only half of "Ip Man 4".

So what about the total box office?

Judging from the current momentum, it would be good if "Old Cannon" could reach a total box office of 700 to 800 million.

The hope of breaking 10 billion is very slim.

But what about "Ip Man 4"?

When "Mr. Six" earned 2.5 million yuan at the box office, the total box office of "Ip Man 4" had already reached 13.46 billion yuan!
It surpassed "Lost in Thailand" in one fell swoop!
It seems that there is little hope for "Mr. Six" to surpass "Ip Man 4".

There is even a big gap between the two films.

Won Ma.

What a win.

Although "Mr. Six" is only a movie starring Feng Xiaogang, not a movie directed by him.

But "Ip Man 4" can also really enjoy the honor of surpassing the mainland director Feng Xiaogang.

Of course, that was for the crew of "Ip Man 4", not Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing had already overwhelmingly defeated Feng Xiaogang many years ago, so there was no need to hype it up like now.

What's more, Zhou Qing doesn't have the time for that now.

Why?

"Dying to Survive" will be released in three days, so it should also hold a premiere like "Mr. Six".

"Director Zhou, I wish 'Dying to Survive' a big box office success!"

"Director Zhou, I wish 'Dying to Survive' will break another record!"

"Director Zhou..."

"Director Zhou..."

"Dying to Survive" is Zhou Qing's first premiere in 4 years.

In other words, it was the first premiere held by Zhou Qing after he was crowned Oscar-winning.

Can everyone in the circle not give us some face?

Whether it is a big star, a big investor, or a top director.

All the prominent people who had time came to support Zhou Qing.

At the premiere of "Old Cannon", everyone was amazed at the star-studded event and said Feng Xiaogang was really honored.

But it wasn't until the premiere of "Dying to Survive" that everyone realized that the place next door was so shabby.

For the top boss, the top star, it would be good enough if he could have half the performance of "Dying to Survive".

Of the four female actors in "Mr. Six", only Fan Bingbing is gone, but in "Dying to Survive", all four female actors are here, without missing a single one.

The top investor of "Mr. Six" is Wang Zhongjun, while in "Dying to Survive", in addition to Wang Zhongjun, there are also Guang Guang, Wanda, Xingguang Canlan and so on.

There was also La Peikang, the current chairman of China Film Group. Even the former chairman Han Sanping came.

Among the top directors of "Mr. Six" are Cao Baoping, Gao Qunshu, Teng Huatao, and Tang Jili, to be honest, they are all great directors.

But compared with "Dying to Survive", it is still obviously a lot lower in quality.

One Jiang Wen can beat them all.

A Chief Jia was also very proud on the spot.

In addition, all the "Zhou Qing-style directors" including Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Xue Xiaolu, and Ye Weixin were also present.

Even Wu Jing and Lu Yang, who were filming, were present.

When bundled together, the data is really too dazzling.

There are several directors in the 10 billion club alone!

In a nutshell, the premiere of "Dying to Survive" was truly luxurious.

If you don’t know, you might think you have accidentally entered a film festival.

"My goodness, Qingzi, you are really amazing. This appeal is unique in the circle, right?"

Not to mention ordinary people, even top directors like Ning Hao were stunned by what they saw.

But after thinking again, Ning Hao nodded.

It should be so.

If Ning Hao won two Oscars in a row and his two films were both global hits, he would also be so successful in the circle.

"It's all because of everyone's giving me face."

Zhou Qing waved his hand, still being very humble.

"You have a lot of face, so everyone gives you face."

Ning Hao hit the nail on the head, it would be a lie to say that he was not envious, jealous or hateful.

But Ning Hao knew that he could never achieve such a thing and could only envy them.

"I only feel proud when everyone gives me face."

Zhou Qing corrected Ning Hao seriously, maintaining his humble style as always.

"What are you busy with recently, brother?"

After talking nonsense for a while, Zhou Qing looked at Ning Hao curiously and asked.

After the release of "Lost in Thailand", it seems that there has been no movement from the other party.

Why has his next movie, "Crazy Alien", not been launched yet?

"I made an animated movie with your sister."

Ning Hao smiled and did not hide anything.

Animated movie?
Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and reacted in a second: "'The Battle of Nian Beast'?"

Yes, I have the impression that this movie was produced by Ning Hao and written by his wife Xing Aina.

"Brother, how come you are interested in making an animated movie?"

Zhou Qing and Ning Hao had a good relationship, so he asked directly out of curiosity.

"Isn't it because of you? Your "The Return of the Great Sage" is hard not to be excited."

Ning Hao smiled.

If it weren't for the box office explosion of "The Return of the Great Sage" released by Zhou Qing Pictures, how could Ning Hao have the confidence to make an animated feature film?
It’s even an exclusive product of their own Bad Monkey.

It’s just a pity that Ning Hao still thought the matter was simple.

Animated feature films are not easy to make.

It is true that "The Return of the Great Sage" had a box office of over 10 billion, but the total box office of Ning Hao's "War of the Nian Beast" did not even exceed million.

The film was also released during the Lunar New Year holiday this year, and the box office was only a pitiful 3442 million RMB.

But what about the cost of "War Against the Nian Beast"?
A full 5900 ​​million!
It can be said that he went straight to his grandmother's house, and it was certain that he made no loss.

"Then I wish Brother's "The Battle of Nian Beast" a big box office success."

Of course, it was impossible to tell the truth, Zhou Qing just sent his best wishes to Ning Hao.

"Then let me lend you some good words."

Ning Hao couldn't help but grin.

It can be seen that Ning Hao is quite confident about "The Battle Against the Nian Beast".

After all, Ning Hao has never failed since his debut, and all the films he made have been hits.

In his opinion, it is unrealistic for "War of the Nian Beast" to be as popular as "The Return of the Great Sage", but at least it is bound to be a big seller.

"Director Zhou."

"Director Zhou."

After a brief chat with Ning Hao, Zhou Qing continued to walk among the other guests, greeting them as the host.

Because there were so many people coming, Zhou Qing couldn't stop for even a moment.

Either they are saying hello or they are on their way to saying hello.

Only when everyone walked into the theater and the movie started did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Jia Nu praised this movie to the sky. I really want to take a good look at it to see how good it is."

After returning to his seat, Han Sanping expressed great curiosity and anticipation about "Dying to Survive".

Of course, it wasn't just him. Everyone in the theater was curious about "Dying to Survive".

In any case, this is also Director Zhou’s first Chinese-language film after winning the Oscar.

"Uncle Han, just wait and see."

Zhou Qing smiled at Han Sanping, and his words showed extremely strong confidence.

Bang!
While they were chatting, the lights in the theater were turned off and the big screen lit up.

Everyone, including Han Sanping, stopped talking and perked up.

One gaze after another was directed at the big screen in front.

Like other movies, the first thing that appears after the dragon mark is the logo of the producer, followed by the director, leading actor and other major team members.

Director: Zhou Qing.

Screenwriter: Han Jianu.

When Han Sanping saw his precious daughter's name appear on the big screen, his old mouth opened wide.

He smiled like an old father.

"Old Cheng..."

With the appearance of the small inn owner played by Ren Luomin, the story of "Dying to Survive" officially begins.

Cheng Yong, a frustrated middle-aged man with no ambitions in life, got into the business of selling fake drugs by chance.

At first he just wanted to make some money, but as he came into contact with more and more patients, Cheng Yong's mentality slowly changed.

The death of Lu Shouyi was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

From then on, Cheng Yong sold fake drugs not to make money, but to save lives.

And it got out of control until it finally exploded and he was thrown into prison.

But even so, everything Cheng Yong did was not in vain and meaningless.

When he was being escorted away, all the patients he had treated came to see him off upon hearing the news.

Cheng Yong's eyes became moist, and everyone in the cinema was also deeply moved.

"Director Zhou will know whether it works or not once he makes a move."

"I left Huayu for more than four years, and I am still at the peak after coming back!"

"You still have to watch Director Zhou for Chinese-language films."

"As expected of Director Zhou, this movie is such a classic."

The entire theater was filled with such heartfelt exclamations.

Especially after the film was played, there was a long-lasting applause at the scene. (End of this chapter)
