Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 44: Breaking million! (Please read on)
Zhou Qing had already prepared the materials for applying for an extension in the past few days.

After dinner, he didn't hesitate at all. He took everything he needed and rushed to China Film Academy immediately.

Zhou Qing did not alarm the school leaders about this matter.

Even if the school leaders give you a heads-up, the chances of your application being approved will be greater.

But Zhou Qing can't always bother the school with everything, right?

When it comes to favors, it's better not to owe them if you can.

What's more, "127 Hours" meets all the conditions for applying for an extension, and China Film is the distributor and theater chain. Zhou Qing feels that there should not be any major problems.

When I arrived at China Film, I completed all the necessary procedures and submitted all the necessary materials.

It took more than half an hour to finish all the work.

Zhou Qing was just about to go back and wait for news, but unexpectedly a middle-aged man appeared in front of him.

"Director Zhou, President Han wants you to come over and sit down."

The other party spoke to Zhou Qing politely.

Mr. Han?
Zhou Qing was just slightly stunned, then he reacted instantly.

How many Mr. Han are there in the entire China Film Group?
There is no doubt that the Mr. Han mentioned by the other party must be Han Sanping, the big boss standing at the top of the Chinese entertainment pyramid.

But why does Han Sanping want to see me?

The only answer Zhou Qing could think of was "127 Hours".

If you analyze it a little, this is actually not a strange thing.

You should know that the box office of Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" was actually only more than 2300 million, and Han Sanping even specifically approached Ning Hao for this.

He also promised that as long as Ning Hao made another movie, China Film Corporation would definitely invest in it.

That was 06 million in 2300.

Now, there must be a lot of discounts.

Not to mention that in addition to its box office success, "127 Hours" also won a major award in Berlin.

It is understandable that Han Sanping looks up to me because of this.

"Then please lead the way."

After quickly sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Qing felt relieved and immediately spoke to the other party politely.

Soon, Zhou Qing appeared in Han Sanping's office under the guidance of the other party.

"Director Zhou, come and sit down."

Han Sanping's attitude was quite enthusiastic, and he invited Zhou Qing to sit in the reception area.

Zhou Qing naturally did not dare to neglect him and responded politely to the big boss.

"Not only did '127 Hours' shine in Berlin, its box office is approaching the million mark. Director Zhou made a great movie."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Han Sanping expressed his strong praise for "127 Hours".

"The lucky success of 127 Hours is inseparable from the strong support of China Film Group and Beijing Film Academy. I still need to continue to work hard."

Zhou Qing hurriedly expressed his modesty.

"Director Zhou, there is no need to be modest. You are both the director and screenwriter of 127 Hours. Your talent is unquestionable."

Han Sanping made no effort to hide his admiration for Zhou Qing.

“It’s all thanks to the school’s great support.”

Zhou Qing's attitude remained stern.

"When does Director Zhou plan to shoot his next movie?"

The two sides chatted for a while, and Han Sanping also asked this question.

Zhou Qing could no longer treat Han Sanping perfunctorily as he treated other people.

"After 127 Hours is out of theaters, I'll take a break for a while."

He told Han Sanping his plan truthfully.

“No matter what kind of movie you make, China Film Group can invest in it.”

Han Sanping nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, but just gave such a guarantee. Zhou Qing naturally wanted this kind of thing.

Although with the money he earns now, it would be no problem for him to make a movie on his own.

But you can't go far in this circle by fighting alone.

Even if we make less money, it is worth it to be able to tie together such a giant as China Film.

After all, there is no end to making money.

But the boat can capsize at any time.

With China Film Group on board, we feel more secure.

After chatting with Han Sanping about other things, Zhou Qing saw that the time was right and said goodbye at an appropriate time.

"Xiao Li, please see Director Zhou off for me."

Han Sanping casually gave an order to his assistant, the man who had appeared beside Zhou Qing before.

The other party politely escorted Zhou Qing out of Han Sanping's office.

"Not bad, an unexpected gain."

Zhou Qing immediately felt refreshed.

This trip by China Film Group can be said to have yielded a lot.

In addition to perfectly solving the issue of applying for an extension, he also successfully got in touch with Han Sanping.

Do you want to ask Zhou Qing how he knows that the key extension application will be approved?

you still need to ask?

Han Sanping even came to meet me specially.

Although Han Sanping never mentioned anything about the application for an extension for "127 Hours" from beginning to end, this kind of thing is tacitly understood and does not need to be specifically pointed out.

Not to mention, Han Sanping also mentioned that once the box office of "127 Hours" exceeds million, China Film will hold a celebration banquet for Zhou Qing.

Do you really think this is just casual talk?
So how can Han Sanping guarantee that the box office of "127 Hours" will exceed million?
All I can say is that everything is self-explanatory.

This wave is stable.

The fact was just as Zhou Qing expected, the key extension application of "127 Hours" was successfully approved.

The extension period is one month.

The movie won’t be released until April 4.

So what new movies are coming out in April?
Zhou Qing paid some attention to it and found that there was only one movie released on the 7th called "Amazing Village", and the name alone suggested it would be a flop.

The other one is "Coming of Age Ceremony" on the 25th, so I completely missed "127 Hours".

In other words, there is no strong film to compete with "127 Hours".

There is no doubt that the box office of "127 Hours" has exceeded million.

Even though the box office of "127 Hours" unfortunately did not break 2000 million in the first month, the shortfall could be made up within the one-month delay.

So there is no doubt about the result. The box office of "127 Hours" has exceeded 2000 million, which is a foregone conclusion!

So after returning from China Film, Zhou Qing was in such a good mood that he seemed to be walking with the wind.

I’m about to become a director with a box office of 2000 million!
But in the end Zhou Qing found that he had underestimated "127 Hours".

This movie, which he had carefully crafted, had already exceeded 2000 million before it was postponed, which was the day before its release date.

Since then, there is one more Chinese-language film that has broken 2000 million box office.

There is now one more big director joining the 2000 box office club.

"The box office of '127 Hours' has exceeded million, and the debut film of newcomer Zhou Qing has been a great success."

"It is unstoppable. 127 Hours has surpassed million. The word film industry has added another masterpiece."

"He was only 19 years old, but he directed a movie that grossed 20 million."

The relevant reports quickly spread, and the entire Chinese entertainment industry exploded once again.

I don’t know how many people were shocked by the box office of “127 Hours”.
