The director starts by learning from the abilities of renowned directors.

Upon seeing the news headline about breaking 100 million in three days, Shen Qing was surprised. The data China Film Group sent him was only 91 million. His first reaction was that China Film Group, as the distributor, was inflating the data for him!

Clicking into the news article made me realize that the media's calculation was the sum of 91 million in box office revenue from mainland China and 14 million in box office revenue from Hong Kong, which created the exaggerated headline of over 100 million in three days.

The box office in mainland China alone did not break 100 million.

This is still amazing. Not to mention breaking 100 million in three days, even three days is an unprecedented achievement.

Shen Qing's parents called specifically to ask if it was true. Shen Qing told them it was basically true, and then told them, "Dad, Mom, keep a low profile, don't flaunt your wealth."

The father, Shen Jianxin, sounded speechless: "Son, the news about breaking 100 million in three days wasn't paid for by your dad to be published in the newspaper."

Wan Qian, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Fan Bingbing, Yan Danchen, and others all called to congratulate him. Except for Yan Danchen, whose tone remained as calm as ever, the others were all incredibly excited.

On July 5th, Shen Qing and Jing Tian went to Shenzhen again. During the trip, they learned that the opening day box office of "Hancock" had just broken 10 million.

The movie's reputation isn't actually bad. Some netizens who like it say it's better than "Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle," with more big scenes and stronger special effects. However, it's neither "Transformers" nor "Spider-Man," since its domestic audience is limited.

On July 6th, the box office of "Hancock" dropped to over 9 million the following day, while the box office of "Little Girl" actually saw a slight increase that day, basically indicating that "Hancock" did not pose a significant threat to it.

Meanwhile, Shen Qing and Jing Tian returned to Beijing after finishing their promotional activities. Just then, Zhao Liying called to say that her contract with Huayi Brothers had been successfully terminated.

Shen Qing was delighted to hear this and immediately called Chen Zhixi after ending her call with Zhao Liying.

"Zhao Liying's contract termination with Huayi is complete. You should hurry up and sign her to the company. Also, you should personally take her to choose an apartment, somewhere close to the company, with a total price around 100 million. You can decide whether it's a little more or a little less."

"Should we buy it and let her live there?"

"Buy it directly under her name. Zhao Liying has great potential, and this investment will be worthwhile. By the way, the contract term should be longer."

Chen Zhixi acted swiftly and decisively. The very next day, she arranged for Zhao Liying to sign the contract and then took her directly to choose a house. Before Zhao Liying could even process what was happening, she found herself with a fully furnished second-hand house under her name.

The next day, she finally realized that Mr. Shen was giving her a house because he wanted to support her. However, she had heard that bosses in the south often buy houses only for their mistresses, and the houses still belong to the boss. After a few years, they kick the mistresses to the curb, and the house appreciates in value. By keeping a woman for a few years, they end up making money in the end.

From this perspective, Shen Qing, the boss, seems pretty good.

A house worth over a million yuan was something she never dared to dream of before. Suddenly, she owned one in her own name. Zhao Liying immediately called Shen Qing, asking for a meeting.

He rushed to Shen Qing's house, and without saying a word, he threw himself into Shen Qing's arms.

"Thank you. Besides myself, I don't know what else I can offer to thank you. I understand the rules. I don't want any title or anything else. I'm satisfied as long as you treat me well. I don't want anything else."

"I'm very touched, but I still have to say it," Shen Qing said. "The house is a signed gift for you. You are certainly a very good person, but what I value even more is your potential in acting."

Zhao Liying almost believed it, until she found out that Zhang Zifeng, who was also signed with Shenqi Films, did not have this so-called signed gift.

……

As of July 7th, and yesterday morning, the total box office of "Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle" in China had exceeded 170 million yuan, which is quite astonishing.

At this point, three days had passed since the film officially hit the North American market.

Normally, the North American weekend box office rankings should be released by now.

That afternoon, many Chinese netizens saw the situation of the North American film market over the previous weekend, either through Sina's movie column or related sections on Sohu.

[North American Box Office Summary: Hancock's Smith Jr. Takes the Throne!]

Countless netizens were stunned when they saw the title.

Didn't they say "Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle" was released in North America? How come the champion is "Hancock"?

Did "Little Girl" do poorly at the North American box office?

That shouldn't be happening!

Shen Qing's previous films were always North American champions, and this time there's even an American superstar, Anne Hathaway, so why isn't it working out this time?

Wasn't this movie supposed to be a hundred times better than "The Forbidden Kingdom"?

How could it be that it's even worse than "The Forbidden Kingdom"?

"The Forbidden Kingdom" was the North American weekend champion for a week, but "Little Girl" couldn't even make it for a week?

Netizens clicked in to see the details.

The result was that "Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle" did lose to "Hancock". But shouldn't we look at the specific box office figures of the two movies at this point?

"Hancock" is indeed impressive, taking in $6750 million in its opening weekend. And what about Shen Qing's "Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle"?

It's actually quite impressive, just slightly less so than "Hancock". It grossed $6700 million in three days, ranking second!

This achievement is undoubtedly the best result Shen Qing's film has ever achieved in the North American market, and it is also the best result Jackie Chan's film has ever achieved in North America.

The Chinese internet world was instantly abuzz with excitement.

"When I saw the headline saying that 'Hancock' had taken the crown, I was really worried, but I never expected that 'Little Girl' would take in $6700 million at the box office in just one weekend."

"What kind of garbage is 'Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle'? Only second place? Its performance in North America is even worse than the terrible 'The Forbidden Kingdom'! 'The Forbidden Kingdom' was number one for a week! What? 'The Forbidden Kingdom' grossed $5200 million in North America, while 'Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle' raked in $6700 million in just three days? Never mind then!"

Does anyone know the approximate relationship between North American opening weekend box office and North American total box office?

"It's usually more than 3 times, and sometimes as much as 5 times."

"$6700 million multiplied by 3 equals $2.01 million?"

"Actually, it's rare for the result to be exactly three times the market value. Shen Qing's new movie is definitely going to break the $200 million mark at the North American box office, and it will most likely take in $220 million or even $230 million!"

"Jackie Chan is awesome! This is even better than his previous best, Rush Hour 2, right?"

"Hmm? Shouldn't it be Shen Qing who's awesome? Oh well, let's not argue about it. Anyway, the movie they collaborated on was a huge hit."

……

No secrets stay hidden forever. People around Wan Qian, or her old classmates, all knew more or less about her relationship with Shen Qing.

Now that "Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle" has become a huge hit in both China and North America, Shen Qing's fame has soared, and people around Wan Qian can't help but make fun of the relationship between the two.

"Sister Qian, your brother-in-law is amazing this time. Although he didn't win the North American weekend championship, it's still incredibly valuable! $6700 million. Most Chinese-language films don't even reach that total box office, and this is just the result of three days."

"Sis, when is your husband starting a new movie? Can you try to get me a role by talking to me in bed?"

"Sis, is your husband worth 10 billion yet? He should be worth at least 5 million, right?"

Wan Qian rushed to the capital to see Shen Qing.

With Shen Qing's current physical condition, Wan Qian was no match for her at all; she couldn't even last one round before giving up.

Thinking back to the first time I met Shen Qing, she was just a newcomer who carefully planned to make a movie with less than 200 million yuan.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Qing has grown into the number one director in China.

Although Shen Qing has only been nominated once for a midnight screening in the non-competitive section of Cannes, his award-winning record is far inferior to that of Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou. However, when it comes to box office, Shen Qing is unbeatable!

From the "Taken" series to "Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle," each of his films has created a storm in the North American film market, with his works often grossing over $100 million at the North American box office. This is a unique achievement among Chinese directors.

Wan Qian initially thought of Shen Qing as just an ordinary director, but she watched him grow and achieve his current success step by step.

Having been conquered both psychologically and physically, Wan Qian realized that she could no longer leave Shen Qing.

"Let me have a child for you."

Wan Qian had thought that she would just live like this for now, enjoy life while she was young, and love well. When she got older, even if she still missed it, she would leave, get married, and have children.

As a woman, she couldn't just stay with Shen Qing for the rest of her life without knowing anything about him, nor could she stay unmarried and childless forever.

But as Shen Qing's achievements became more and more dazzling, Wan Qian suddenly began to examine her past plans.

Having children is definitely something I'll do, but having children doesn't necessarily mean leaving him or getting married, right?

Wouldn't it be the same to have his child?

"?"

Shen Qing was somewhat surprised upon hearing this and asked, "Have a baby? You're so young, why are you suddenly thinking about this? Besides, I'm not really ready to get married yet."

"Who says you have to get married to have children? Since you're going to have children sooner or later, you might as well do it sooner."

"Please allow me to think about it some more."

Although Shen Qing is a time traveler, he doesn't do business. The film company he runs is mainly for the convenience of making movies, so he doesn't actually make a lot of money, and making movies doesn't earn him much money either.

If I have a child with Wan Qian now, will I have children with other women in the future? If I have many children with different women, there will inevitably be issues of dividing the family property.

Is his own amount of assets enough to divide among himself? — Actually, thinking about it carefully, it seems to be quite a lot. Over the years, he has not only focused on making films, but he has also been consistently buying some high-quality stocks.

Shen Qing wasn't very familiar with the specific stock market fluctuations, but he did know which companies he could hold long-term.

Since his transmigration, whenever he made money, he consistently bought shares in listed companies such as Tencent, Moutai, and some banks. To date, he holds more than 1% of Tencent shares and more than 0.5% of Moutai shares.

These stocks will be worth at least tens of billions in the future.

Shen Qing will continue to buy these stocks, as well as stocks of other high-quality companies, in the future.

He is indeed not very good at running a company, but that doesn't necessarily mean he won't be very rich in the future.

However, having a child is a very important matter and requires careful consideration.

……

Shen Qing has been rumored to be dating Wan Qian, Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, and Yan Danchen. Now that Shen Qing's new movie is a box office hit, discussions about his love life on the internet have suddenly become very popular.

A poll was organized by netizens: Which domestic actress do you think is the best match for director Shen Qing?

Yang Mi noticed the poll from the beginning, and she definitely voted for herself without hesitation. Because she was popular enough, after all, "The Shallows" was a huge hit and didn't generate much controversy, so she was indeed far ahead at the start.

But later, for some reason, Liu Yifei's name was inexplicably pushed to the top of the search results.

Shen Qing and Liu Yifei didn't have much interaction; they only collaborated on one drama, "Fame and Fortune," and Liu Yifei only had a few minutes of screen time in that show. Yang Mi never expected that Liu Yifei would receive so much support from netizens.

I remember when "Fame and Fortune" went to Cannes for a non-competitive screening, a photo of Shen Qing and Liu Yifei walking arm in arm on the red carpet went viral.

This group photo has now resurfaced online.

"Let's not say anything more, let the photos speak for themselves. Just tell me if these two look good together or not!"

Yang Mi was furious, thinking to herself, "It's just a group photo, what's the big deal?"

I still have three needles left!

Unfortunately, she carefully kept those three needles at home and couldn't take them out to take pictures and post them online whenever she wanted.

She would never post it online, even if she could take it out anytime; it was a secret between her and Shen Qing.

the other side.

Liu Yifei and her mother Liu Xiaoli also saw the relevant poll, and Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but ask her daughter about it.

"You and Director Shen Qing?"

"It's okay, we only collaborated once, and haven't been in much contact since."

Liu Xiaoli was silent for a moment, then said, "Director Shen Qing... is actually quite good."

"Yes, that's really good. He's so young, yet he's already achieved such remarkable results."

"What Mom said isn't quite right."

"Which one is better?"

……

By July 14th, "Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle" had grossed over 260 million yuan in China and 45 million yuan in Hong Kong, bringing the total to over 300 million yuan.

The film has been showing in the North American market for two weeks, and this week's North American box office champion is the newly released "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," which raked in $35 million over the weekend.

"Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle" continues to rank second, taking in $3400 million over the weekend, bringing its North American cumulative box office to $1.72 million, and its global box office (excluding Greater China) to over $3 million.

Last week's champion, Hancock, has fallen to third place, but still grossed $3300 million this weekend.

The global box office surpassing $3 million is a significant milestone, sparking another wave of celebration online.

"Shen Qing's films have never been too disappointing. I'm looking forward to 'Nanjing Museum' in November."

"The trailer looks alright, but I don't know how the final result will be. Shen Qing has never filmed such a heavy subject before."

"It shouldn't be too difficult, I reckon it'll definitely be better than Lu Chuan's."

"Not necessarily. Lu Chuan filmed for almost ten months, while Shen Qing only filmed for two months. It feels like it might flop."

"It's true that it took two months to film, but they also set up the set four or five months in advance."

The opening credits of "Little Girl's Kung Fu Uncle" featured a trailer for "If You Are the One," as well as a trailer for its own film, "Nanjing Photo Studio."

November 27th marks the final release date for "Nanjing Photo Studio".

Shen Qing ultimately decided not to wait for Lu Chuan. It is said that Lu Chuan will be released next April, and it would be inappropriate for Shen Qing to release it in March, the coldest period of the year.
