Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

With full anticipation, Zhou Qing began to review the script brought by Jiaozi.

"Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", these words in the headline came into view, arousing all Zhou Qing's passion.

Is the first animated feature film in Chinese entertainment industry about to be born?

"Director Zhou, you are recognized as the most capable screenwriter. You can give me some advice if you can."

The sound of dumplings was heard, and he said to Zhou Qing with a smile.

In fact, his mood is quite contradictory.

On the one hand, Jiaozi doesn't want others to comment on his work.

But on the other hand, Jiaozi also really wants to get certification from authoritative authorities in the circle!
And what if there are really loopholes in your script?
But the facts proved that Jiaozi's anxiety was completely unnecessary.

Because after reading it, Zhou Qing did not offer any comments.

"Yes, this book is very well written!"

Zhou Qing simply gave Jiaozi a thumbs up, expressing his high affirmation and approval.

In fact, to be honest, the script of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" still has many flaws and is very cliché.

But overall, the story of "Ne Zha" is neat and smooth, and the rhythm is well controlled.

In addition, the narrative logic is self-consistent and there are no major flaws.

In fact, this is very rare.

Even though Zhou Qing didn't see much artistic achievement in it, he could tell that this was a book that everyone liked to read.

So what does Zhou Qing have to say?

The high score of 8.4 on a certain Banshan website and the box office of over 50 billion in the original time and space are the best proof.

"Just follow this script. I can't wait to see the finished film."

Zhou Qing continued to speak to Jiaozi.

When Jiaozi heard this, he was immediately excited.

Being able to get the praise from a top screenwriter and director like Zhou Qing is not something that ordinary people can do.

This is definitely an honor, and it is no exaggeration at all.

This further proves that the script of "Nezha" is really a good script.

Jiaozi was completely relieved.

His creative desire and enthusiasm were instantly ignited, and he almost exploded.

I couldn't wait to open the computer and convert the words on the script into pictures on the spot.

"By the way, Director Zhou, the budget for Nezha has also been worked out."

"According to the current script, it will take more than three years to complete Nezha, and the finished film will take about 3 years to come out."

Having said that, Jiaozi paused subconsciously and looked up at Zhou Qing.

He was really worried that Zhou Qing would think the three-year period was a bit too long. Of course, for a film project, it was indeed a bit long.

Few investors are willing to wait that long.

After all, he is not Wang Sunglasses.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing remained calm after listening to it. He did not raise any questions or express any displeasure.

Only then did Jiaozi feel completely relieved.

Yes, Director Zhou is not an ordinary person. He has successfully operated "The Return of the Great Sage".

You must know that making an animated movie takes a lot of time.

"Based on all this, the budget for Ne Zhabad will probably be around 6000 million."

Jiaozi continued to talk to Zhou Qing.

6000 million, this is exactly the budget of "Ne Zha" that Zhou Qing remembered.

It seems that Jiaozi is indeed a down-to-earth person who works hard on making movies.

There is no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to cheat investors.

Zhou Qing was still very pleased about this.

"The budget is not a problem. I will instruct Director Chen to complete the process as soon as possible."

Zhou Qing nodded and spoke to Jiaozi seriously.

At the same time, he did so and immediately called Director Chen over to coordinate with Jiaozi.

I believe that it won’t be long before "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" will officially enter the production process.

Zhou Qing is still full of endless expectations for this future hack-and-slash-movie.

The only regret is that the cycle is indeed a bit long.

But considering the amazing performance of "Ne Zha", the more than three years of waiting is completely worth it.

"Mr. Six, directed by Guan Hu and starring Feng Xiaogang, has been completely removed from theaters, with a total box office of 5.23 million!"

"Mr. Six was a critical and commercial success, and Feng Xiaogang's first leading role brought in 5.23 million yuan at the box office."

"Mr. Six" grossed 5.23 million yuan at the box office, and Feng Xiaogang was all smiles as he prepared for a celebration banquet."

On January 1, the movie “Old Cannon” starring Feng Xiaogang was taken off the screen and the total box office revenue was quickly leaked.

A total of 5.23 billion.

You certainly can’t say this box office is low. You have to know that Jiang Wen’s "One Step Away" only made 5 million yuan.

Especially considering that the cost of "Mr. Six" was only 5000 million, this box office is even more valuable.

The film "Mr. Six" can be described as a small-scale success with a big investment, and it was a huge hit at the box office.

What’s even more rare is that the word of mouth is quite good, and it has achieved great success in both box office and reputation.

I have to say that this time, Huayi has indeed created a very beautiful successful business case.

The Wang Zhongjun brothers were very happy, and Feng Xiaogang and other main creators were also very happy.

The only annoying thing is that the box office of "Old Cannon" did not meet expectations!
According to the first day box office and early trends of "Old Cannon", "Old Cannon" should be able to earn 700 to 800 million yuan.

In the original time and space, "Old Cannon" had a box office of 7.48 million yuan.

So why is it only 5.23 million this time?

It’s simple, it was affected by “Dying to Survive”.

"Dying to Survive" was released a week after "Old Cannon". On the same day, the daily box office of "Old Cannon" dropped sharply.

Faced with the explosive growth of "Dying to Survive", even Feng Xiaogang couldn't stop it.

Of course, even so, "Old Cannon" is still considered a huge success.

So what about Zhou Qing’s “Dying to Survive”?

Needless to say, on the day that "Mr. Six" was taken off the screen, the box office of "Dying to Survive" had already reached 31.6 billion!

That’s right, just as the entire industry predicted, the total box office of "Dying to Survive" really exceeded 30 billion yuan.

It became the first movie in Chinese entertainment film history to break 30 billion.

The one-month release period hasn't even ended yet, but it has already surpassed "Monster Hunt", which was postponed for a month, with an overwhelming advantage.

This performance can only be described as extremely fierce.

Everyone in the entire circle was shocked by this data.

The entire Chinese entertainment industry once again felt the fear of being dominated by Zhou Qing.

"Sissi, what are you looking at?"

When Zhou Qing returned to the luxurious villa, he saw Liu Yifei curled up lazily on the sofa with a big orange dog in her arms.

The girl was stroking the big orange dick with her hand while reading a document with great interest.

Zhou Qing made a guess as a matter of course that what the girl was watching was most likely a script.

Apart from this, Zhou Qing couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Zhou Qing, what do you think the total box office of 'Dying to Survive' will be?"

The girl raised her head, her eyes full of light, and she couldn't help but ask Zhou Qing questions.

There is still about a week left before the release of "Dying to Survive", so I guess we can still give it a try, right?

"It doesn't matter. 'Dying to Survive' will only make around 3.2 or 3.5 billion, no more."

Zhou Qing waved his hand, looking nonchalant. It seemed that "3.23 billion" was just an insignificant number in his mouth.

"What do you mean by 'only'? What's your reaction? This is more than 30 billion."

Liu Yifei's voice couldn't help but rise an octave, and she was simply unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.

"More than 30 billion is actually nothing. The box office of future movies will reach to billion, or even higher."

Zhou Qing shrugged in front of the girl.

"Four or five billion?"

Liu Yifei's first reaction was disbelief.

30 billion is already exaggerated enough, enough to shock people's heart. If you have or billion, do you still want people to live?

But soon the girl was speechless.

When "Avatar" first broke 10 billion in box office, everyone in the industry was shocked.

However, Zhou Qing said that a box office of 10 billion was nothing, and that the box office of future movies could reach to billion.

At that time, the girl and everyone else thought Zhou Qing was talking nonsense and didn't believe it at all.

But now?
Zhou Qing’s “prophecy” came true!
A movie with a box office of 20 billion and a movie with a box office of 30 billion were both born!
So, can the future movie box office really continue to reach 40 billion, 50 billion, or even higher?

hiss!
When she thought of this, the girl couldn't hold it anymore.

If this is true, it would be too crazy.

"What are you reading? A movie script?"

After a few words of small talk, Zhou Qing returned his gaze to the script in the girl's hand.

"I have nothing to do anyway, so I just take a look."

The girl casually explained it to Zhou Qing, but judging from her appearance, she seemed to be enjoying the show very much.

Zhou Qing knew what was going on. Since the girl was so excited about it, the script was probably not reliable.

Sure enough, when Zhou Qing turned to the front and looked at the name of the script, he almost vomited blood.

"To Youth: You Are Here Too".

Speechless.

I am truly speechless.

Although Liu Yifei in the original time and space made almost all bad movies in her career.

But this movie "So Young" is definitely a shame for girls!

The rating on a certain platform is less than 5 points, only a shocking 4.4 points.

The box office was 3.36 million, which is actually quite good for Liu Yifei in the original time and space.

In addition, Liu Yifei at that time also proved her acting skills through this film.

Even at that time, she pressed the male protagonist to the ground and rubbed him.

Maybe the girl would never have thought in her dreams that there would be a time when her acting skills would surpass others?

However, for Liu Yifei now, it really doesn’t matter.

This girl is the "Three Billion Dollar Heroine" and an international celebrity!

Especially for this movie, the producer chose Liu Yifei just to support Moufan. It’s disgusting to think about it.

"Xixi, you don't want to take this book, do you?"

Zhou Qing couldn't help but stare at Liu Yifei and asked.

"Why, is this book not good?"

Liu Yifei stroked the big orange with her hand and asked subconsciously.

"This book is not bad, it's just awful."

Zhou Qing nodded seriously.

After a pause, he added: "It should be the worst script you have ever received."

“Is this book so bad?”

Liu Yifei was surprised. She thought the book was pretty good.

Is it really that bad?

The girl subconsciously flipped through the script again and began to doubt her life.

Is my vision really that bad?
"Okay, stop looking at Xixi. This book is not worth wasting your time. Accepting this book is a waste of life."

Zhou Qing continued to persuade Liu Yifei.

"I just took a look. I didn't say I wanted to take it."

The girl raised her head and explained for Zhou Qing.

It's not that I'm trying to save face, it's really true.

With the girl's current status, how could she possibly take on such a youth film?
Isn't that lowering your status?

Liu Yifei is also a person who takes good care of her reputation.

Zhou Qing heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"It's good that you don't plan to accept it. Not only this script, but also other scripts. I have a very good role reserved for you."

Zhou Qing then said this to Liu Yifei.

"Really? What role?"

Liu Yifei perked up and subconsciously sat up straight.

"Meow~"

The big orange dog in her arms was knocked over by Liu Yifei and fell onto the carpet.

Mr. Ju shook his cat body, called out to Liu Yifei in dissatisfaction, then curled up and continued to stay where he was.

He would just stay where he fell and would not move even a step.

This laziness is comparable to that of its owner.

"I plan to film Mojin: The Lost Legend, which was delayed by Dying to Survive, this year."

Zhou Qing told Liu Yifei the truth and told her his plan.

When the girl heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

This visual effects blockbuster adapted from the popular IP "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is a heavyweight top project even in the entire entertainment industry.

Such a heroine is naturally worthy of the status of a girl.

"But I probably won't shoot it myself. If nothing unexpected happens, I will find other directors to shoot it."

Without waiting for the girl to say anything more, Zhou Qing added another sentence.

Admittedly, Zhou Qing did plan to shoot "Ghost Blows Out the Light" himself at the beginning, but the situation is different now.

The box office of "Monster Hunt" has reached 20 billion, and the box office of "The Mermaid" may also exceed 30 billion.

As a result, as the top director in the Chinese entertainment industry, he only made a movie with a box office of over 10 billion?
Not to mention, Zhou Qing's current movie "Dying to Survive" also has a box office of 30 billion.

So "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" is indeed a bit inappropriate.

Anyway, as a reborn person, Zhou Qing knows so many movies with even better box office success, so why does he still choose "Mojin: The Lost Tomb"?

Of course, you should choose other films with greater box office potential.

As for "Mojin: The Lost Legend", just leave it to its original director Wu Ershan.

"You don't want to take the photos yourself? Why did you change your mind? Who are you going to ask to take the photos?"

Liu Yifei felt a little surprised, but also very curious.

Among those "Zhou Qing-style directors", is there anyone who can handle "Ghost Blows Out the Light"?

"Director Wu Ershan is fine. His style is just right for this kind of film."

In front of Liu Yifei, Zhou Qing naturally would not hide anything and told her his candidate truthfully.

Wu Ershan?
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and then nodded.

The other party's "Painted Skin 2" was shot quite well, and it is indeed suitable for a visual effects blockbuster like "Ghost Blows Out the Light". (End of this chapter)
