Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

“June is good, it’s a good time!”

Huang Bo certainly had no objection to Zhou Qing's arrangement and nodded in agreement.

After rubbing his hands together, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Qing eagerly and asked, "Qingzi, what do you think the box office of "A Good Show" will be like?"

This is Huang Bo's directorial debut. It would be a lie to say that Huang Bo is not nervous.

Although Huang Bo is not a professional director but an actor, it doesn't matter if he fails as a director.

It will basically have no impact on your career.

But even so, Huang Bo hopes that "A Good Show" will be a great success.

At the very least, it can't be worse than Wang Baoqiang's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2", right?

Otherwise, you will really lose face.

"Have some confidence in yourself, Lao Huang. Don't worry, your movie will be good."

Zhou Qing smiled and comforted Huang Bo.

Of course, this is not really consolation, but the real truth.

Not to mention that Zhou Qing, as a reborn person, already knew the performance of "A Good Show".

Just talking about my feeling after watching the movie just now, "A Good Show" is indeed better than "Journey to India" in all aspects.

There is no doubt that the performance is better than "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2", there is no doubt about that.

"With your words, I feel relieved!"

A happy smile finally appeared on Huang Bo's face.

After chatting with Zhou Qing for a few more words, he said hello to Zhou Qing and left in high spirits.

Guan Hu has already notified Huang Bo that he will have to join the crew in mid-March because the filming of "My Motherland and Me" will start in late March.

Huang Bo wants to take a good rest before this period of time.

God bless you, Huang Bo was really busy throughout 18.

"After becoming a legend with Crazy Rich Asians, Liu Yifei is back in Hollywood. Can her new masterpiece Divergent create another miracle?"

"After Crazy Rich Asians, Liu Yifei brings another masterpiece Divergent, which is directed and written by Zhou Qing."

While the Chinese entertainment film market was swept by "Detective Chinatown 2", the North American film market was also very lively.

Among them, the movie "Divergent" has attracted particular attention from people in the Chinese entertainment industry, and of course the same is true in North America.

It’s nothing, “Divergent” is a movie starring Liu Yifei.

Although it is no longer an all-Asian cast like Crazy Rich Asians, it is still a movie with a strong female lead.

In other words, almost all the box office pressure of "Divergent" fell on Liu Yifei.

It is precisely because of this that anyone with a discerning eye can see how important this movie is to Liu Yifei.

After all, this is the critical period when Liu Yifei has just entered Hollywood with "Crazy Rich Asians"!
If "Divergent" sells well at the box office again, Liu Yifei will have truly established her foothold in Hollywood.

There will no longer be any controversy or water in his international status, and his position in Chinese entertainment will be completely extraordinary.

Because she is the only Chinese actress who can take on leading roles in Hollywood.

But what if Divergent flopped at the box office?

That was just like giving Liu Yifei a slap in the face.

It will even make Liu Yifei a joke.

You just became popular and then you suddenly failed?
The slap in the face made a loud noise.

Therefore, both Liu Yifei and her fans attach unprecedented importance to the movie "Divergent".

"The pressure is really great, Zhou Qing."

The girl felt even more pressure and couldn't help but call Zhou Qing to confide in him.

"Relax, Sissi. I'm sure Divergent will be fine."

Zhou Qing comforted Liu Yifei confidently.

Theoretically speaking, Liu Yifei, the heroine of "Divergent", has just become popular through "Crazy Rich Asians" and is coming with great momentum.

In addition, there is the fan base of the original novel, so it can be said that it has its own traffic.

So as long as "Divergent" is not too badly made, the box office should be good.

"I hope so."

Liu Yifei felt a little relieved and at ease.

But it is unrealistic to say that we can completely let go.

"Don't think too much. Divergent will definitely be a hit. Don't you trust my judgment?"

"To put it another way, even if Divergent doesn't become a hit, so what? I have so many good movies here!"

Zhou Qing said to Liu Yifei nonchalantly.

After all this nonsense, Liu Yifei did feel more at ease and continued to devote herself to various promotional activities with full energy.

Then he happily shared it with Zhou Qing.

Judging from the feedback from various roadshows so far, the response to "Divergent" is still very good.

The girl is becoming more and more confident about the prospects of this movie.

The same is true for Zhou Qing.

This is the "Divergent" that has undergone significant changes after my intervention. Compared with the original "Divergent", the treatment is definitely different.

You have to know that in the original "Divergent", the heroine was a newcomer and had no fame at all.

What about Divergent now?

But she is Liu Yifei who has just become famous!

In addition, the Oscar-winning director wrote the script himself, so it is full of gimmicks and the quality of the script is much higher.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Zhou Qing is actually optimistic about the future of "Divergent".

"Director Zhou, I have finished revising the script of 'Assassination of Novelist'."

Amidst the busyness, Lu Yang once again came to Zhou Qing with great interest.

Based on Zhou Qing's insightful comments, Lu Yang devoted a lot of effort to revising the script.

Now he felt that the revised script was perfect enough.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with him.

Even Lu Yang believed that even Zhou Qing could not find any fault with it.

"Not bad, Luyang, the script is now very neat."

After reading it, Zhou Qing couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction.

In fact, from Zhou Qing's professional perspective, the revised "Assassination of Novelist" also has some flaws.

In Zhou Qing's opinion, he could only score around 75 points.

But this is actually good enough.

Don’t think that 75 points is not high, it is better than most scripts on the market.

If it were turned into a movie, it would have no problem breaking 7 points.

Much better than the original 6.5 points.

What else do you need a bicycle for?

"There's nothing wrong with the script. As long as you're ready, we can start moving forward at any time."

After Zhou Qing raised his head, he said this to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang couldn't help but rub his hands together on the spot. He felt his blood boiling and was ready to have a great fight.

"In that case, Director Zhou, I plan to officially launch this project next month!"

After some consideration, Lu Yang couldn't wait to tell Zhou Qing.

"It's rare that you're so motivated this time."

Zhou Qing teased Lu Yang.

Lu Yang's usual personality can be described as very Buddhist, even lazy.

Many times, if you don't assign him tasks, he will never take the initiative to find work to do. Lu Yang doesn't really care about making money or building a career.

The facts prove that it is due to lack of interest. Now he is making his own movie, isn’t that also positive?
As the boss, Zhou Qing certainly wouldn't discourage the enthusiasm of his employees.

It will be launched in March, then it will be launched in March, that’s it!

"By the way, Director Zhou, Yifei should have a schedule, right?"

When Lu Yang was leaving, he specifically asked about Liu Yifei's schedule.

Obviously, Lu Yang intended to let Liu Yifei play the heroine in "Assassination of Novelist".

However, Zhou Qing waved his hand and rejected this on behalf of Liu Yifei.

"Sissi has a new movie to shoot in Hollywood, and it won't be available until the second half of the year at the latest. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it."

"But Liying does have a schedule."

Zhou Qing told Lu Yang the truth.

After the release of "Divergent", Liu Yifei will also be filming "Divergent 2", which will definitely not be able to catch up with "The Assassination of Novelist".

What's more, compared to "Assassination of Novelist", Zhou Qing would rather Liu Yifei star in another movie.

what movie?
Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2".

The heroine of this film, Liu Yifei, is also very suitable.

In addition, "Wolf Warrior 2" is a super-high-budget movie with a box office of 50 billion yuan, so it is not to be missed.

I just don't know how the script of that guy Wu Jing is going?
"Wu Jing, have you finished writing Wolf Warrior 2?"

Zhou Qing then called Wu over and asked about the situation.

"It's almost done. It will probably be completed next month."

Wu Jing gave this answer.

Next month?

Zhou Qing knew what was going on.

Without saying anything else, he waved his hand and sent Wu Jing away.

"The competition for the Spring Festival box office has come to an end. Detective Chinatown 2 has taken the lead with a box office of 38.92 billion yuan, becoming the box office champion of the Spring Festival box office."

"After 'Dying to Survive', another 30 billion box office movie was born, 'Detective Chinatown 2' grossed 38.92 billion!"

In early March, "Detective Chinatown 3", which had dominated the charts for a month, was withdrawn from theaters, blinding the entire entertainment industry.

There's no other reason, the data is just too shocking.

Just as Director Zhou predicted at its premiere, the box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" really broke 30 billion!
It became the second movie in the entire Chinese entertainment industry to break 30 billion yuan after "Dying to Survive".

The key point is that it has broken 30 billion, but it’s not the kind that has just broken 30 billion.

Instead, it directly reached 39 billion, almost 40 billion!
With the same box office of 30 billion, "Detective Chinatown 2" far surpassed "Dying to Survive".

It became the highest-grossing Chinese-language film after "The Martian" and "Operation Red Sea".

That’s right, “Detective Chinatown 2” ranked third in the Chinese film history box office rankings.

burst.

It's really too explosive.

Frankly speaking, before the release of "Detective Chinatown 2", no one could have predicted that the film would become such a hit.

You have to know that the total box office of the first "Detective Chinatown" was only around 10 billion yuan.

Who could have thought that the sequel would become such a hit?
"39 billion, nearly 40 billion! I can't believe it!"

Even the leading actor Wang Baoqiang was shocked by the data.

Is it finally my turn?

Following Huang Bo and Zhu Yawen, has he also starred in a movie with a box office of 30 billion?

Pleasurable.

Wang Baoqiang was so happy that he was in heaven.

"Nearly 40 billion? Baoqiang, there is still hope that Detective Chinatown 2 can really break 40 billion. I have already applied for an extension."

Zhou Qing said to Wang Baoqiang with a smile.

In a case like "Detective Chinatown 2", how could Zhou Qing, as the producer, not give it a push?

These days, breaking 30 billion and breaking 40 billion are different in every way.

At present, "Detective Chinatown 2" is only more than 40 million away from 1 billion, so there is still hope.

Of course Zhou Qing had to give it a try.

If it succeeds, then the only three 3 billion-level movies in the entire Chinese entertainment industry will be produced by itself.

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

So the question is, was Zhou Qing’s application for an extension approved?

There is no doubt about this!
Although "Detective Chinatown 2" was not produced by China Film Group, given the relationship between Zhou Qing and China Film Group, how could La Peikang not agree?
The application was approved almost instantly.

“Breaking 40 billion!”

Wang Baoqiang's eyes, which had been narrowed into a line, suddenly widened.

If this is true, wouldn't I be standing at the top of Chinese entertainment just like Zhu Yawen?
break!
Must be broken!

Wang Baoqiang can be said to be full of endless expectations for his future.

"In the blink of an eye, Baoqiang also caught up."

Zhu Yawen was very impressed, Qingzi is really awesome, isn’t he?
So far, among all the movies produced by people other than Zhou Qing Pictures, the highest-grossing one is Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid".

All the box office revenues exceeding 30 billion were produced by Zhou Qing Pictures.

Either it is directed by Zhou Qing, or it is written and produced by Zhou Qing.

In other words, all the male actors in the entertainment industry with a salary of 30 billion or more are from Zhou Qing Pictures!

In the past, there were only two people in this club, Huang Bo and Zhu Yawen.

So what now?
The movie "Detective Chinatown 2" successfully brought Wang Baoqiang in.

"The Wandering Earth", which has not yet been released, has definitely reserved a seat for Wu Jing.

This means that all the male actors in Zhou Qing Pictures are at the top level!

Among the actresses, Zhao Liying is slightly inferior, and the same is true for Liu Yifei.

I can only say that Qingzi's level of praising people is truly terrifying.

"Director Chen, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Director Chen!"

As a director, Chen Sicheng reached the peak of his life with the movie "Detective Chinatown 2".

All of Huayu’s movies with a box office of 30 billion and 40 billion yuan are produced by Director Zhou.

His "Detective Chinatown 2" is the only exception!
This really transformed Chen Sicheng into the most dazzling figure in the current circle, and he is really full of energy and ambition.

"Detective Chinatown 2 has already made nearly 40 billion yuan, so what about Detective Chinatown 3?"

When Chen Sicheng thought of this, his heart began to pound wildly in excitement.

Wouldn't that mean I would have caught up with Director Zhou by then?
Wouldn't that mean he would become a top director on the same level as Director Zhou?

Chen Sicheng has begun to lose his composure.

As for Ning Hao who was competing on the same stage with Chen Sicheng?
Just as Liu Yifei complained before, it can be said to be quite depressing.

It was obvious that "Crazy Alien" had the best data at the beginning, which surpassed "Detective Chinatown 2".

Who could have thought that the final box office of "Crazy Alien" would be so far surpassed by "Detective Chinatown 2".

Their total box office is almost breaking 40 billion, while his "Crazy Alien" is only 22 billion.

It was exceeded by nearly 20 billion.

Although the box office of 22 billion is actually quite good, it will definitely make Ning Hao a lot of money.

But we are afraid of comparison in everything, right?
Compared with the explosive data of "Detective Chinatown 2", "Crazy Alien" is really not that popular. (End of this chapter)
