Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"Congratulations, Director Zhou. Crazy Rich Asians is a huge hit at the box office."

"Yes, Director Zhou, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Director Zhou."

On the set of "The Wandering Earth", everyone sent congratulatory messages to Zhou Qing.

The eyes looking at Zhou Qing were filled with admiration, amazement, and awe that came from the bottom of their hearts.

If a film featuring all Asian groups can be a hit, is there anything Director Chou can’t do?

Think about the movie "The Wandering Earth" that looks like a hit no matter how you look at it, well, no one can stay calm.

Even a movie like "Crazy Rich Asians" can become a hit, let alone "The Wandering Earth"?
In an instant, everyone became more optimistic about the prospects of "The Wandering Earth".

"Director Zhou, you are really amazing."

Wu Jing, who is also a director, is even more impressed by Zhou Qing.

Only a director can understand how difficult it is to make a hit movie.

Take Wu Jing himself as an example.

He has indeed made quite a few hit films since his debut.

But anyone who has seen Wu Jing's films knows that Wu Jing always makes the same type of films.

If it were a different type, Wu Jing wouldn’t have the confidence to handle it.

For someone like Zhou Qing, who has made all the mainstream genre films on the market, Wu Jing can only bow down to him and say awesome.

He couldn't take a photo like this even if he tried it his entire life.

Of course, it’s not just Wu Jing. Most directors in the industry can’t shoot it either.

As for the idea that an all-Asian cast can become a huge success, that is even more of a fantasy.

"Thank you, thank you everyone!"

"I am just the screenwriter of Crazy Rich Asians, so the success of this movie has little to do with me."

Facing everyone's congratulations, Zhou Qing waved his hand humbly.

But people don't think so.

It is true that Director Chow of "Crazy Rich Asians" is only the screenwriter, but he is also the producer.

If Director Chow hadn't been optimistic about this subject matter and produced it, "Crazy Rich Asians" wouldn't even have had a chance to be released.

Not to mention, this is a movie that Director Zhou prepared specifically for Liu Yifei.

If Director Zhou hadn't seen the huge box office potential, would he really betray his woman?
Director Zhou’s awesomeness cannot be erased!
"Okay, stop flattering me. Just act well and make fewer NGs."

After talking for a few more words, Zhou Qing waved his hand and asked everyone to continue filming.

The shutdown of many planetary engines has had a great impact on the Earth.

The detention center where Liu Qi and others were held was collapsed by the earthquake.

Liu Qi and his companions were released and quickly escaped in a transport truck.

However, on the way of escape, he met Wang Lei and other members of the rescue team.

The other party wanted to repair the stopped planetary engine and requisitioned the transport vehicle of Liu Qi and others.

So Liu Qi and Han Duoduo, two people who had nothing to do with each other, were involved in repairing the planetary engine.

It was because of this chance encounter with Wang Lei that the fate of many people was changed.

Han Ziang, played by Zhang Guoli, died on the way.

"grandfather!"

"grandfather!"

In front of the camera, Zhang Zifeng knelt on the ground, crying heart-wrenchingly.

He continued to crawl forward subconsciously.

In the buried abandoned building in front of everyone, her grandfather Han Zihang will never come out.

I have to say that Zhang Zifeng is indeed very talented in acting. This crying scene really shows her skills.

Although it's still a little immature, at least she cried.

No one uses eye drops.

If it were placed in a prize-winning film, it would indeed be somewhat lacking.

But it is completely sufficient to be put in a commercial film like "The Wandering Earth".

"Duoduo, come back!"

Zhang Wanyi shouted to Han Duoduo worriedly.

If she took a few more steps forward, Han Duoduo might fall into the deep cliff ahead.

He hurriedly helped Han Duoduo back, and then he angrily said to Wang Lei: "Why didn't you save my grandpa? Ah!"

He roared and punched Wang Lei hard.

The result is not difficult to imagine.

How could an untrained young man be a match for Wang Lei, who came from the military?

Wang Lei easily knocked Zhang Wanyi to the ground.

"Crack!"

Zhou Qing stood up from behind the monitor and came to Zhang Wanyi and Zhang Yi.

"Do it again. The fight just now looked too fake. You two should rehearse it again."

Zhou Qing explained this to Zhang Yi and Zhang Wanyi.

"It's okay, Brother Yi, just hit me for real. I was actually not satisfied just now, and it felt unreal."

Zhang Wanyi also spoke to Zhang Yi in a serious tone.

But even so, how could Zhang Yi really hit Zhang Wanyi?
Still under Zhou Qing's guidance, he and Zhang Wanyi rehearsed four more times before they met Zhou Qing's requirements.

"Okay, let's do it again as we just rehearsed."

Zhou Qing sat back in front of the monitor and shouted "start" with a loud speaker.

"Why didn't you save my grandpa just now? Ah!"

Bang bang bang!
In no time, Zhang Yi knocked Zhang Wanyi to the ground.

"Click! Pass!"

"Get ready for the next shot!"

……

Since its stunning success on the first day, the subsequent performance of "Crazy Rich Asians" has been very impressive.

It can even be said to be blinding.

Not only did it become the Japanese box office champion on the day of its release, it has also been occupying that position ever since.

It remained the daily box office champion for four consecutive weeks until the fifth week, when it was surpassed by "The Happytime Murders".

This result can no longer be called a hit, it is simply a huge hit.

For four consecutive weeks, that means it has almost dominated the charts for a month!

Such amazing data makes "Crazy Rich Asians" the most eye-catching movie in North America during the summer season, no doubt about it.

Some people may say that the reason why "Crazy Rich Asians" is so popular is definitely due to the support of the Asian community.

It's just the self-entertainment of the Asian community, and it doesn't mean that "Crazy Rich Asians" is really worth such a high box office revenue.

But the reality is totally different.

According to data from theater chains and ComScore, the group that bought the most tickets to see "Crazy Rich Asians" was actually white people.

It accounts for 41%.

Next is the Asian community, accounting for 38%.

Next are Hispanics and African Americans, at 11% and 6%, respectively, and finally various other groups at 4%.

So yes, Crazy Rich Asians is not only popular among Asians, but also very popular throughout North America.

It is truly popular in North America.

No, it should be said that it is popular all over the world.

"Crazy Rich Asians" was released in North America and in many other countries around the world at the same time.

The market feedback is also extremely enthusiastic.

In the four weeks since its release, the North American box office has reached 1.9 million, and the global box office has reached 2.8 million!

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a global hit. In any case, this is also a low-budget comedy romance film.

numb.

All the female stars in the circle are numb.

Today, Liu Yifei has become a well-deserved and true "International Liu".

The achievements she has made in North America and around the world are unmatched by any other female star in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Even the former international Zhang, even the former Emperor Gong.

Both of them have indeed starred in some real Hollywood blockbusters, but they have never been so successful in carrying the box office on their own.

There is no need to mention the others.

Actors like Double Soldiers and Big have also entered Hollywood.

But compared with Liu Yifei, well, there is absolutely no comparison.

It's not on the same level at all!

This "Crazy Rich Asians" truly brought Liu Yifei to the peak of her career.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Yifei is now at the peak of her career.

“Crazy Rich Asians is a hit, so Divergent should be a hit, right?”

While being extremely excited, the girl is also full of hope for the future of "Divergent".

This is not because the girl is blindly optimistic, but because there are market rules to follow.

"Divergent" is Liu Yifei's first work after she became really famous in Hollywood, so the entire circle will naturally pay close attention to it.

What’s more, it’s a movie adapted from a novel, and with the huge fan base of the original novel, it’s equivalent to an IP that comes with its own traffic.

This means that there is natural exposure and attention, which is the basis for success.

Liu Yifei feels that as long as "Divergent" is well made, the box office will definitely be good.

So the question is, are the movies produced by Zhou Qing of poor quality?
Not really!

"Director Zhou, congratulations! Eternal Love is a huge hit!"

When "Crazy Rich Asians" became a huge hit, "Eternal Love" was also launched and its performance was also very gratifying.

Dragon TV became the ratings champion on the day of its release, while Zhejiang TV lagged behind slightly, only taking third place.

But even if it is third, it is still a sure hit.

You should know that "Eternal Love" was broadcast simultaneously on two major satellite TV stations and was diverted.

The third in this case is different from the general third.

So judging from the ratings of the two major satellite TV stations, "Eternal Love" is indeed a well-deserved hit.

Especially on the Internet, "Eternal Love" is extremely popular.

It’s been online for only 12 hours, but the number of views has exceeded 6 million!

My jaw dropped.

In the original time and space, the popularity of "Three Lives Three Worlds" was even mentioned by official media.

It is an exaggeration that both CCTV and People's Daily Online rated "Three Lives Three Worlds" as a "phenomenal fairy tale drama".

Although "Three Lives Three Worlds" was broadcast two years later due to Zhou Qing's intervention, Zhou Qing was no longer sure whether CCTV would still have such an evaluation.

But the popularity of "Three Lives Three Worlds" is obvious.

"Director Zhou, this guy, is he going to let us live?"

"Is Director Zhou planning to dominate the TV drama industry?"

"I thought Princess Agents was popular enough, but I didn't expect there would be something even more popular!"

Everyone in the TV drama circle couldn't hold it anymore and couldn't sit still.

I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

That was stimulated by Zhou Qing.

What kind of god is Director Zhou? Every movie he produces is a huge hit, without any exception!

But for such a great person, could you please not switch to another industry?
This is the greatest wish of all colleagues in the TV drama industry.

The existence of such a great god is definitely everyone's nightmare.

Just look at those who work in the film industry and you will know that everyone lives in a nightmare dominated by Director Zhou. Most of the top-notch blockbusters were produced by Director Zhou.

It is no exaggeration to say that Director Zhou alone dominates the industry.

No one in the TV drama industry wants to experience something like this.

The only consolation is that after "Princess Agents" and "Eternal Love", there has been no news of any TV drama plans from Zhou Qing Pictures.

I hope it won't happen again.

I don’t know how many colleagues in the TV drama industry are praying silently in their hearts.

"Attention all units!"

"start!"

The filming of "The Wandering Earth" is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Thanks to the efforts of Liu Qi, Wang Lei and various countries around the world, most of the planetary engines damaged by Jupiter's gravity have been repaired.

But the crisis did not pass as expected.

On the contrary, everyone received a nightmare news.

The planetary engine was repaired, yes, but it was too late.

The Earth has been captured by Jupiter's gravity, which is so great that it exceeds the combined power of all the planetary engines.

The Earth will inevitably collide with Jupiter.

The Earth is going to end.

The world is about to be destroyed!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the male protagonist Liu Qi recalled the science popularization his father gave him when he was a child.

"Jupiter is like a big balloon, 90% of it is hydrogen!"

This sentence, like a ray of light, illuminated the confusion in Liu Qi's mind.

"Li Yiyi!"

Liu Qi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and rushed towards his little friend nervously and impatiently.

As he ran, he shouted, "Is it possible that the surface of Jupiter could ignite after mixing with the Earth's atmosphere?"

After these words were spoken, Han Duoduo, Wang Lei, and everyone else at the scene were stunned.

Li Yiyi felt as if he had been electrocuted. He jumped up, took out his computer and started typing away.

"Mars has already captured at least 30 billion liters of oxygen, and the explosion could create a shock wave of more than Mach 1,000."

"The kinetic energy generated is enough to move the earth!"

Following Li Yiyi's words, everyone at the scene became excited.

Saved!
The earth can be saved!
The world doesn't need to be destroyed.

This feeling of seeing light at the end of the tunnel in the midst of despair was vividly portrayed by everyone at the scene.

As a director, Zhou Qing is quite satisfied with this.

It seems that my previous talk about the play was not in vain.

"Mix oxygen and hydrogen to ignite Jupiter. All we need is a match!"

At this time, Liu Qi looked at the planetary engine in front of him and said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"No, no, no, the current distance between Earth and Wood is more than 70,000 kilometers, and the range of an intercontinental missile cannot reach it at all."

Li Yiyi frowned as he calculated the relevant data.

"Li Yiyi, how about this match?"

Liu Qi pointed to the planetary engine.

“Which one…”

Li Yiyi suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining again, "I can modify the program of the planetary engine to make it spray higher!"

"Crack!"

"Pass!" (End of chapter)
