Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Overall, the filming of "The Wandering Earth" went very smoothly.

Although the overall shooting was difficult, thanks to the capable director Zhou Qing, the actors also cooperated well.

This resulted in almost no deviation in the shooting progress.

The shooting schedule posted every day can basically be completed.

Judging from the current progress, there will be no problem for Zhou Qing to complete the filming in 4 months as expected.

In other words, the filming of "The Wandering Earth" will continue until December.

Looking at the overall plot of "The Wandering Earth", it is actually divided into two important branches.

The first branch is the Earth branch.

It tells the story of how Liu Qi, Han Duoduo, Wang Lei and others modified the planetary engine and how to ignite Jupiter.

The second branch is the story of the space station, or the story of Liu Peiqiang.

The two branches did not intersect in the early stage.

But eventually they will be intertwined.

The "Earth Team" failed to ignite Jupiter, and Liu Peiqiang finally chose to sacrifice himself and blow up the space station.

This finally ignited Jupiter and saved the Earth.

Because Liu Peiqiang's side stories all take place within this space scene and are not intertwined with any other scenes in the movie.

So Zhou Qing planned to shoot this branch line last.

Before this, Zhou Qing had actually been shooting side stories of the "Earth Team".

This is the most important and complex branch line in "The Wandering Earth", and its length is much longer than Liu Peiqiang's branch line.

Zhou Qing has been shooting strictly according to the shooting schedule without any delay.

It took until November to complete the filming.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

"Zhang Wanyi, Zhang Zifeng, congratulations on finishing the filming!"

After the last shot was taken, director Zhou Qing was the first to applaud the two young actors.

Hua Hua Hua.

The same thing happened to everyone else at the scene, who all quacked along with Zhou Qing.

"Thank you director, thank you everyone!"

Whether it was Zhang Wanyi or Zhang Zifeng, they were both very happy, with smiles all over their faces.

That smile that comes from the heart.

Frankly speaking, the three-month shoot was really tiring, but it also allowed both of them to grow tremendously.

Under Zhou Qing's guidance, the two gained a deeper insight and understanding of acting.

This will definitely have a huge positive impact on their future careers.

Of course, what makes them even happier is that the movie "The Wandering Earth" will definitely make them soar to success.

Thinking about the fact that they had just finished shooting a movie with a box office of nearly 40 billion, their hearts were still pounding with excitement.

"Okay Wu Jing, keep working hard, the rest is your part."

“We’ll try to finish filming in December!”

After Zhang Wanyi and the other finished filming, Zhou Qing reached out and patted Wu Jing on the shoulder, grinning.

"Don't worry, Director Zhou, I won't let you down!"

Wu Jing responded confidently and patted his chest.

Although many of the movies Wu Jing has acted in do not require much acting skills, it does not mean that Wu Jing has no acting skills.

After all, he is an old actor who has been in the industry for many years.

For Wu Jing, controlling the role of an astronaut is still very easy.

"Fans of Wu Ershan's Mojin: The Lost Legend roadshow in Shanghai praised: This is the Ghost Blows Out the Light that I want!"

"The media conference for 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' was held and received high praise from various media. "

Since November, Wu Ershan has led the main creators of "The Mojin: The Lost Tomb" to carry out a grand nationwide promotion.

Backed by a big IP + produced by Zhou Qing Pictures + an all-star cast, "Mojin: The Last Dragon" looks like a huge hit.

Needless to say, its popularity is so high that it can be said to be the most anticipated Chinese-language film in December, without a doubt.

Especially based on the feedback from various roadshows and previews in the early stages, the quality of "Mojin: The Last Dragon" is very high.

There are no problems with the script, pictures, rhythm, etc.

It is no exaggeration to say that the word of mouth has exploded.

The enthusiasm of the fans was further ignited.

Everyone is gearing up and waiting for the release next month.

As the screenwriter and producer of "Mojin: The Lost Legend", Zhou Qing actually has even higher expectations for the film.

You should know that Zhou Qing also optimized the script of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb"!
In other words, the quality of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" produced by Zhou Qing Pictures is three points better than the original one.

In addition to the added bonus of the "Zhou Qing" brand, and most importantly, Liu Yifei's "Crazy Rich Asians" has just become a global hit!

That’s right, the various box office data for "Crazy Rich Asians" have basically come out.

The film grossed a total of $2.8 million in North America and $4.1 million worldwide!
It can be said that it is still very eye-catching.

Although it still has a long way to go compared to those real Hollywood blockbusters, and is even far behind "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight", which were also produced by Crown Pictures, it is also a very good result.

How good is it?
It directly set the North American box office record for romantic comedy romances in the past decade.

Especially considering that the film only cost 3000 million US dollars, the achievement of "Crazy Rich Asians" is even more precious.

What is even more commendable is that "Crazy Rich Asians" was not only a box office success, but also had a very strong reputation.

The Rotten Tomatoes rating is as high as 98%, the MTC rating is as high as 84, and the IMDB rating is also as high as 8.1.
It can be said that it was both critically acclaimed and a box office hit, and it sparked a wave of Asian craze in North America.

Moreover, because of the all-Asian cast of "Crazy Rich Asians", the film has more meanings beyond the movie.

I won’t analyze the big picture, but it is an indisputable fact that Asians in North America are all excited.

Not only has Liu Yifei's presence increased throughout North America and her fame and status soared, but she has also become very popular among the Asian community in North America.

It is also becoming very popular in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Under such circumstances, "The Mojin: The Last Airbender" starring Liu Yifei was released right after, and it can be said that it directly caught this wave of traffic!
The corresponding box office will definitely reach a higher level.

If you think about it, even the "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" in the original time and space has a high box office of 16.8 billion.

So what now?
Zhou Qing felt that breaking 20 billion might not be impossible.

"Let's set a small goal. The total box office of Mojin: The Lost Tomb has exceeded 20 billion!"

On the set of "The Wandering Earth", Zhou Qing couldn't help but think so excitedly.

This is not just wild speculation, but a reasonable guess and estimate.

Considering all factors, "Mojin: The Last Dragon" does have the potential to break 20 billion.

After all, the gap is only over 300 million, so it won’t be too difficult to catch up.

"Zhou Qing, I think the total box office of Mojin: The Lost Tomb may even exceed 20 billion!"

Not only Zhou Qing, but also Liu Yifei who was promoting with Wu Ershan thought so.

Although the girl is not a reborn person, this can be seen based on various data and feedback in the early stage.

So the girl was very excited.

If "Mojin: The Lost Legend" is as good as she expected, she will have her first 20 billion box office movie.

Thinking back to the global hit "Crazy Rich Asians", Liu Yifei felt so refreshed.

It's just like being in high spirits!
"Attention all units!"

"start!"

The filming of "The Wandering Earth" is actually nearing its end.

The current scenes mainly involve Liu Peiqiang played by Wu Jing in the space station. This part is relatively simple to shoot.

Because there is only one scene, which is the space station, there are few actors involved, basically just Wu Jing.

At most, there will be a supporting role like a foreign colleague.

The other party didn't have many scenes to begin with, and filming was completed three days ago.

Now it has become a one-man show by Wu Jing alone.

With Zhou Qing's top-notch directing skills, the filming was done very quickly.

The progress is faster than expected.

There were even some days when we completed the task ahead of schedule.

Under such circumstances, it was only November 11 when "The Wandering Earth" shot its last shot.

The overall progress is a few days ahead of schedule.

"Are you ready, Wu Jing?"

In front of the camera, Zhou Qing asked Wu Jing for his opinion.

"Director Zhou, let's get started. I have no problem!"

Wu Jing nodded heavily and spoke to Zhou Qing in high spirits.

After shooting this shot, the overall filming of "The Wandering Earth" will be completed, and Wu Jing is full of energy.

"start!"

Zhou Qing didn't say anything more. He sat back behind the monitor and shouted "start".

"You were only four years old when I left."

"But you're an adult now."

"Dad told you that he is in heaven."

"You just need to look up and you can see Dad."

"This time, you can definitely see me."

In front of the camera, Wu Jing made a "passionate confession" to his son.

Because the flame of the planetary engine was not long enough, it did not ignite Jupiter as expected.

So Liu Peiqiang decided to blow up the entire space station to make up for the last bit of flame.

This "confession" is actually Liu Peiqiang's last words.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

"Now I declare that The Wandering Earth has officially wrapped up!"

Behind the monitor, Zhou Qing stood up happily.

"It's done!"

"It's done!"

There was an immediate burst of warm applause at the scene.

The overall atmosphere is so hot.

……

After the lively wrap-up party, everyone in the crew went back to their homes and their mothers.

However, Zhou Qing did not return to Zhou Qing Pictures for the time being, but returned to his luxurious villa to rest.

Even though "The Wandering Earth" was not rushed and the overall schedule was not that tight, it still took 4 months after all, right?

Of course you need to relax.

The only regret is that Liu Yifei is still following Wu Ershan on roadshows across the country and is not at home.

Zhou Qing can only stay alone in the empty room for the time being.

So Zhou Qing didn't stay at home for long. He just took a breath and returned to Zhou Qing Pictures.

"Director Zhou!"

Director Chen was called into Zhou Qing's office immediately to report some relevant matters to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing simply listened to many of the things and knew what was going on, but he did not intend to interfere too much.

However, there is one thing that Zhou Qing is still concerned about.

"Last month, the post-production of Detective Chinatown 2 directed by Chen Sicheng was completed."

The finished film of "Detective Chinatown 2" is out!

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

This is truly a top-notch movie, and it ranks among the best in the entire history of Chinese entertainment films.

Even with Zhou Qing's rank, he still takes it very seriously.

He didn't waste any time and went to watch the movie right away.

"A specific time."

“A specific place.”

"A specific method of killing."

"Five million specifically."

I have to say that Chen Sicheng's level is still as stable as ever.

The degree of completion of the entire "Detective Chinatown 2" can be said to be extremely high. It is a mature, smooth and high-quality work.

Coupled with Zhou Qing's optimization of the script of "Detective Chinatown 2", the quality of this version of "Detective Chinatown 2" is far higher than the original.

The original version of "Detective Chinatown 2" only had a score of 6.6 on a certain platform, but for this new version, Zhou Qing thinks there is no problem with a score of 7.6 or above.

In this case, Zhou Qing is naturally more optimistic about the box office potential of "Detective Chinatown 2".

"Director Zhou, I want to release Detective Chinatown 2 during this Spring Festival."

The same was true for Chen Sicheng, who gave advice to Zhou Qing with full confidence.

The Spring Festival period, which is the period on the first day of the Lunar New Year, is the most golden period among all the Chinese-language film periods, the golden period among the golden periods.

Of course, it is also the most intense day of all the schedules, without a doubt.

Take this year's Spring Festival as an example. "The Wandering Earth" is definitely absent, needless to say.

But Ning Hao's "Crazy Alien", Han Han's "Flying Life", and Stephen Chow's "The New King of Comedy" have all been confirmed to be released during this period.

All of these three films are this year's most powerful and promising blockbuster movies.

But even so, neither Zhou Qing nor Chen Sicheng showed any fear.

Both of them are confident that even in the Spring Festival period filled with so many blockbusters, "Detective Chinatown 2" will be able to carve out a niche!
This matter was agreed upon so happily.

"Zhou Qing Pictures' Detective Chinatown 2 will be released during the Spring Festival!"

The news spread quickly, immediately causing headaches for the producers of several other films released in the same period.

Although "Detective Chinatown 2" was not directed by Zhou Qing himself, judging from various early data, it is a strong rival.

A powerful enemy that cannot be underestimated!
With the completion of "The Wandering Earth" and the release date of "Detective Chinatown 2", it is already a busy December, and Zhou Qing Pictures has made its presence felt again.

Of course, we can’t forget “The Mojin: The Lost Tomb” which has aroused the expectations of the whole nation.

The film was released on December 12th, and the first-day box office was revealed at the first time, a full 18 million!

What the hell!

Countless people in the circle felt their hearts skip a beat and were deeply shocked.

Everyone knew that "Mojin: The Last Dragon" would be a hit long before it was released, but no one expected it to be this big a hit.

The box office on the first day exceeded 2 million!

What does it mean to break 2 million on the first day?
Currently, there are still only a few movies that have achieved this result! (End of this chapter)
