Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"not bad!"

Zhou Qing, the investor, had completely different reactions from Huang Bo.

Considering the size of "Nobody", it can definitely be called a huge hit.

The benefits and advantages brought to Zhou Qing Pictures are enormous in all aspects.

Based on the current approximate sharing ratio between producers and theaters, Zhou Qing Pictures can get about 36.5% of the total box office.

That is 4.9 million RMB.

Excluding the cost of 3000 million, the total revenue is 4.6 million.

Make a lot of money!
It is no exaggeration to say that we made a fortune.

These are just the apparent benefits, which are visible and tangible.

What about those invisible, hidden benefits?
For example, it adds to Lu Yang’s own status.

Lu Yang can be considered a veteran director of Zhou Qing Pictures and has directed many films for Zhou Qing.

However, up to now, there has not been any explosive achievement like other "Zhou Qing-style directors" such as Xue Xiaolu, Chen Sicheng and Xu Zheng.

Fortunately, with continuous accumulation, Lu Yang has directed many real hits.

Such as "Time Raiders" which broke 10 billion and "Life Events" which broke 20 billion.

Now with another movie "The Unknown" which has grossed over 10 billion, Lu Yang will definitely make further progress in the circle.

He will definitely be a big director with great influence in the circle.

After all, it is rare to find a director these days who can produce multiple films with a box office of over 10 billion yuan.

In this case, if Lu Yang were to shoot "Assassination of Novelist" again, the results would definitely be better than before.

You have to know that the only two "Blade of the Assassin" films that Lu Yang in the original time and space could produce were:

The influence and appeal back then cannot be compared to what it is now.

The treatment that new films receive is, of course, completely different.

So even though Lu Yang's script for "Assassination of Novelist" hasn't been completed yet, Zhou Qing is already very optimistic about the prospects of this film.

"Okay, let's continue with the next shot!"

Quickly putting those thoughts aside, Zhou Qing straightened his face and shouted through the loudspeaker.

The stagehands, executive director, assistant director, assistant director, and many other staff members started to work busily.

Of course, the same is true for director Zhou Qing, who is in an absolutely core position and is in control of the overall situation.

Even though he was the most glamorous person in the entire crew, it was actually not easy at all.

He has to take care of all matters, big or small.

Especially for a movie with a future background, there can be no room for carelessness.

Any problem with any detail will greatly affect the quality of the film.

And this is something Zhou Qing would never allow.

Therefore, Zhou Qing's various requirements on the set have always been extremely strict.

Of course, this is not just true for the behind-the-scenes staff, but also for the actors.

Fortunately, both Zhang Wanyi and Zhang Zifeng, although young, have excellent acting skills.

Able to perfectly meet Zhou Qing's various requirements.

So the overall shooting was very enjoyable.

Liu Qi played by Zhang Wanyi and Han Duoduo played by Zhang Zifeng are indeed brother and sister. Although they are not blood relatives, they both don't want to stay in the underground city obediently.

I was determined to run to the surface and take a look.

Liu Qi even took action and brought Han Duoduo to the surface secretly.

But he was soon discovered by the checkpoint personnel and taken to the police station.

There was no other choice, so Liu Qi and Han Duoduo’s grandfather had to come to rescue them, but they were also locked up.

It was his own fault that the card of his transport truck was stolen by his beloved grandson. That was a serious dereliction of duty.

It also needs to be punished.

"You ran away from home, huh? How old are you and you still run away from home?"

"That's your biological father, where can you hide?"

"You even brought your sister out here. It's so dangerous out there."

"And you! Have you learned how to steal? Steal my card!"

"You just do whatever your brother tells you to do, you idiot!"

In front of the camera, the actor who played Han Ziang was scolding Liu Qi and Han Duoduo.

It is worth mentioning that this actor is no longer Uncle Da.

If the casting director is given free rein, there is almost no possibility of choosing Uncle Da again.

So who is the actor who plays Han Ziang this time?
Surprisingly, he is also a well-known figure in the circle: Zhang Guoli.

There is no need to say much about this actor's status and acting skills. He is more than capable of playing the role of Han Zihang.

I have to mention Zhang Zifeng here.

Although he is less than 20 years old, he has no problem acting opposite Zhang Guoli.

But she pouts and looks aggrieved, but it's obvious that she's pretending to be so, and is deliberately acting like a spoiled child in front of her grandfather.

"I know I was wrong, grandpa. Liu Qi, you are a big liar!"

As Zhang Guoli kept scolding her, Zhang Zifeng started crying again.

But she cried without any tears, it looked fake at first glance.

"I knew this was the way it was."

Zhang Guoli immediately shook his head helplessly.

Although it was the same trick again, he really fell for it.

"If you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences."

In the "single room" next door, fellow inmate Tim was eating melons with great relish, all he needed was some melon seeds and drinks to cheer him up.

"What the hell is wrong with you!"

Zhang Wanyi cursed impatiently and punched the wall subconsciously.

Then Zhang Guoli, Zhang Wanyi and Zhang Zifeng were all stunned and confused.

Of course, nothing can be seen at the shooting scene now, but according to the script, Liu Qi's punch actually cracked the wall.

Why?

Because the planetary engine unit has malfunctioned!
It wasn't just one or two engines, but more than 3,000 engines had problems.

The entire planet is affected.

So why do planetary engines fail on such a large scale?

It's simple. When the Earth passed by Jupiter, it was affected by Jupiter's gravity.

But the gravitational force is a bit too strong, which will attract the earth to get closer and closer and eventually collide with each other.

By then, the earth will be doomed.

"Director Ning Hao's new film "Crazy Alien" has finished filming, and Huang Bo and Shen Teng's new looks are exposed for the first time."

"'Crazy Alien' wrapped up, Ning Hao's casting sparked heated debate, Xu Zheng actually played an alien."

"Chen Sicheng's wrap-up dinner for Detective Chinatown 2 was extravagant, with the Manhattan Chief Superintendent personally attending to celebrate."

"'Detective Chinatown 2' has finally wrapped up. The point is not the lead actor Wang Baoqiang but the director Chen Sicheng has become like this."

"Disney's live-action version of "Mulan" has started filming, with Li Lianjie, Zhen Zidan and Gong Li 'assisting' Liu Chengyu."

"The filming of "Mulan" started, Liu Chengyu took a bath with the male lead, and foreign netizens praised her as the most suitable Mulan."

The film market in August was still very lively, both in China and Hollywood.

In addition to the start of filming of The Wandering Earth, the completion of two other films by Huayu Entertainment also attracted great attention from all parties. This is not surprising.

Whether it is "Crazy Alien" or "Detective Chinatown 2", they are both super hits with great sales potential.

The former is the sequel to the "Crazy Series", and the latter is the sequel to "Detective Chinatown", both of which are backed by big IPs.

In addition, the lineup in front of and behind the stage is also very luxurious, from directors to actors, they are all big names.

It can be said that from the day the project was launched, it has been a heavyweight film project that the entire entertainment industry has been watching.

It is completely reasonable that both of them have become hot searches after completing the filming.

have nothing to say.

On the contrary, Disney's "Mulan" has also attracted a lot of attention in the Chinese entertainment circle and sparked widespread discussion.

Who makes the movie "Mulan" so special?

This is taken from a classic legend that is widely circulated in China and even known to every household.

The fact that such a story is remade by Hollywood itself represents a form of cultural output.

It can greatly arouse everyone's national pride.

In addition, "Mulan" had previously held a global audition for the leading actress, which created a huge buzz.

It can be said that the popularity has been hyped up all over the world.

Although the final heroine was not the unanimously favored Liu Yifei, but was replaced by a less well-known Liu Chengyu.

But this can't dampen everyone's enthusiasm at all.

What no one expected was that the casting for "Mulan" started at the beginning of last year, but it was not until the second half of this year that it started filming.

It's been taking too long.

Of course, this kind of thing is not important. What is important is that "Crazy Rich Asians" starring Liu Yifei will also be released this month.

Liu Yifei is currently promoting her film in North America.

So this is really interesting.

Liu Yifei rejected "Mulan" because of "Crazy Rich Asians", which can be said to have been questioned by people in the circle.

Many people thought it was a bad move, and some even thought that Zhou Qing had betrayed Liu Yifei.

After all, no matter how you look at it, "Crazy Rich Asians" can never be compared with "Mulan".

Even with Zhou Qing's endorsement, such doubts and suspicions cannot be dispelled. The truth is that "Crazy Rich Asians" does look very unreliable.

And now, in the blink of an eye, "Crazy Rich Asians" is about to be released.

Just when the filming of "Mulan" started!
I don’t know if it was unintentional or coincidental, but "Crazy Rich Asians" has once again triggered a wave of criticism and ridicule.

It would be interesting if this movie flopped.

Whether it's Director Zhou or Liu Yifei, they will definitely be slapped in the face, right?

Under such circumstances, whether in Chinese entertainment or Hollywood, I wonder how many people are eagerly watching "Crazy Rich Asians", waiting for the release of this movie.

Everyone is eager to see what kind of results "Crazy Rich Asians" can achieve.

So how did Crazy Rich Asians perform?
Four days after the filming of "Mulan" started, "Crazy Rich Asians" was released in major theaters in North America.

It can be said that my jaw dropped.

The film grossed US$1300 million on the day of its release, becoming the North American box office champion for the same period.

Blockbuster movies like "Mission Impossible 6", "Mile 22", "Incredibles 2" and so on were all defeated by "Crazy Rich Asians".

Of course, these blockbusters have basically been released for quite some time, and their box office potential has been almost exhausted.

But to be beaten by Crazy Rich Asians is to be beaten by Crazy Rich Asians.

This is an indisputable fact!

This is the honor that "Crazy Rich Asians" has won, and no one can erase it.

exploded.

Crazy Rich Asians is a box office hit!
That’s right, considering the extremely low cost of “Crazy Rich Asians”, the first-day box office of 1300 million can already be called a huge hit.

Everyone in Hollywood, and even the entire Chinese entertainment industry, was stunned.

I don’t know how many people’s jaws dropped.

How could a low-budget love movie like "Crazy Rich Asians", which stars an all-Asian cast, become such a hit?

It shouldn’t be!

This is unscientific.

Movies featuring Asian people have never been popular in North America. Americans are simply not interested in this type of film.

Not to mention the entire Asian community, even movies with Asians as the main characters are not well received by the public.

This is also the main reason why the project of "Crazy Rich Asians" was questioned so much after it was exposed.

Who could have thought that Crazy Rich Asians would become such a hit?

The general market rules of Hollywood completely failed in "Crazy Rich Asians"!

Cow ratio.

It’s so awesome.

In an instant, the circle's attitude towards Zhou Qing changed 180 degrees.

All the previous doubts disappeared, and what replaced them was deep worship and admiration for Zhou Qing.

As expected of Director Zhou, he is extraordinary.

It's really amazing that even a film about the entire Asian community can become a hit.

"Crazy Rich Asians is really popular! That's great!"

The happiest people were Liu Yifei, Director Yang and other producers from Crown Pictures.

Although these people have always believed in Zhou Qing's ability, it is impossible to say that they are completely at ease.

After all, "Crazy Rich Asians" is different from other movies.

Only now did they finally let go of their worries and were filled with great surprise.

Liu Yifei, in particular, couldn't help feeling a little elated.

You have to know that Crazy Rich Asians and Interstellar are completely different.

No matter how popular "Interstellar" is, it is all thanks to director Nolan and has little to do with Liu Yifei.

But the popularity of "Crazy Rich Asians" is the best proof of Liu Yifei's ability.

Firstly, Liu Yifei is the biggest star in this movie, and secondly, this is definitely a movie with a strong female lead.

If a movie like this becomes a hit, it will be Liu Yifei who carries the box office, no one else!

If we say that Liu Yifei was called "International Liu" after "Interstellar", it would be a bit empty and unworthy of the name.

Then, once Crazy Rich Asians came out, her reputation as an “international Liu” was completely valid.

From then on, she, Liu Yifei, was truly an international Liu.

Thinking of this, the girl was so relieved.

Fortunately, I listened to Zhou Qing's advice and took the role in "Crazy Rich Asians".

Now it seems that this decision was really wise.

What?
Even if "Crazy Rich Asians" becomes a hit, its first-day box office will only be 1300 million, which is impossible to surpass Disney's blockbusters.

The girl said that even if that was the case, she still made money.

You know, it’s natural and natural for Disney’s movies to be a hit.

Even if it really becomes a hit, it will be thanks to Disney and the IP of "Mulan".

The relationship with Liu Yifei is not that big.

The added value to Liu Yifei itself is really not as great as that of "Crazy Rich Asians".

Moreover, Zhou Qing had already expressed his doubts about "Mulan". It is not certain that "Mulan" will be a hit. (End of this chapter)
