Chapter 167: Hundreds of millions of dollars in assets were built ahead of time, "Painted Skin&

By April, the filming of Painted Skin had been completed two-thirds of the way through.

The story became more and more exciting and complicated, and Xiao Wei finally couldn't help but confide her true feelings to Wang Sheng.

So what about Wang Sheng?
Although he didn't admit it, deep down in his heart, he had actually fallen in love with Xiao Wei.

"Wang Sheng is a normal man. How could he not be moved when a gentle, virtuous, and beautiful woman falls deeply in love with him?"

"But Wang Sheng also deeply loves Peirong. That love does not allow him to accept Xiaowei. He feels that it is a betrayal to Peirong."

On the set, other preparations were underway. Director Zhou Qing was explaining the play to Hu Jun and Zhou Xun.

In fact, the two of them had already thoroughly understood the script, and had also analyzed it in depth with Zhou Qing during the group reading.

So communication is very smooth at this moment.

Both Hu Jun and Zhou Xun could accurately understand Zhou Qing's meaning and knew what effect Zhou Qing wanted to achieve.

"Okay, all units get ready."

"start!"

When it came to shooting, everything went smoothly and Hu Jun and Zhou Xun got into the mood in just one second.

"Brother Wang, I think if I leave... I have said too many things that I shouldn't have said."

Zhou Xun had tears on her face, and she looked so pitiful.

"Did you forget that I said I would take care of you!"

When Hu Jun heard that Xiao Wei was leaving, a hint of panic subconsciously flashed across his eyes, and he instinctively tried to keep her.

Just one look was enough to reveal Wang Sheng's feelings for Xiao Wei.

But Wang Sheng soon realized that this kind of feeling was inappropriate.

So he immediately added, "Like my sister, Peirong also knows."

Xiao Wei became even more sad when she heard that Wang Sheng was still unwilling to accept her.

The tears in the corners of my eyes rolled down.

Zhou Qing, who was standing behind the monitor, secretly clapped his hands and applauded.

As for Zhou Xun's crying scene, how many people in the entire circle can match her?
The performance in this section was so good that Zhou Qing was very satisfied.

"Am I really so...useless?"

Zhou Xun was extremely sad and felt unspeakably aggrieved.

"How could that be? Brothers like Gao Xiang, Jing Ping and Jing An, everyone can see that they like you. I don't think any of them would dislike you, right?"

"But I want you to like me!"

Xiao Wei stared at Wang Sheng with her eyes fixed, and actually looked a little humble at this moment.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

On April 4, the Olympic Organizing Committee announced the final results.

Master Zhang took first place in the world culture event and the total score of 22 events, so he was eventually hired as the chief director of the Olympic Games.

As soon as the news came out, the attention of the entire circle was attracted to Master Zhang.

No one could remain calm.

You know, this is the Olympic Games, the highest honor!
Master Zhang is already one of the top directors in mainland China, and he is ranked number one.

He was hired as the chief director of the Olympics again this time. Isn't this directly becoming a god?
Who can shake his position in the future?
I'm afraid that even Director Zhou Qing, who has always been regarded as second only to Master Zhang but has potential to surpass Master Zhang, is not capable of this?
"Director Zhang is now a big shot, the chief director of the Olympics."

Zhu Yawen was so shocked that he sighed repeatedly.

With a layer of gold in the Olympics, Master Zhang’s future status is so impressive that it’s suffocating to think about it.

"Who said it wasn't? How much will Director Zhang be worth in the future?"

Zhou Xun couldn't remain calm either, he was shocked by the news.

Because he was a reborn person, Zhou Qing's reaction was relatively calm.

Master Zhang's net worth indeed doubled after the Olympics, and his director's salary directly reached 2000 million, which is indeed exaggerated.

Zhang Weiping and the entire "Curse of the Golden Flower" crew were very excited.

Master Zhang was suddenly deified. Who is the biggest beneficiary?
It is undoubtedly the "Curse of the Golden Flower" that is currently being filmed.

This epic masterpiece has already been fully buffed from the beginning, and now the official has added the biggest buff yet:

The first film shot by the Olympic director!
Wow, he was originally a vicious wolf, and now he has been upgraded to a vicious wolf with wings.

Zhou Qing's "Painted Skin" was originally generally considered to be inferior to "Curse of the Golden Flower", and now, people in the circle are even less optimistic about it.

"Painted Skin" VS "Curse of the Golden Flower", the loser is definitely "Painted Skin", it has no chance of winning.

Zhou Qing did not take these voices to heart, but instead had a faint expectation.

Now mainstream public opinion generally favors "Curse of the Golden Flower" and criticizes "Painted Skin". What will the reaction be if "Painted Skin" finally defeats "Curse of the Golden Flower"?
Come to think of it, I’m really looking forward to it.

Of course, these are all things that will happen later. For now, let’s finish filming Painted Skin first.

"All units, prepare."

"start!"

This scene is also a very important scene, and it can even be said to be one of the most exciting scenes.

Xiao Wei's true intentions towards Peirong are fully revealed!

She admitted in front of Peirong that she was a demon. Not only did she tear off her painted skin, she also killed people and ate their hearts in front of Peirong.

This is a head-on confrontation between the heroines in a dual-heroine movie like "Painted Skin".

The anticipation is simply overwhelming.

"Brother Sheng loves you, don't hurt him."

At this critical moment, Peirong actually thought of Wang Sheng.

"It's useless. With you, Madam Wang, here."

Xiao Wei looked at Mrs. Wang with a bit of coldness and self-mockery.

How ironic is it that she, a thousand-year-old fox demon, cannot defeat an ordinary human being?

"I am not important, my wife Wang can give you."

Peirong said immediately, with such decisiveness.

At this time, she had only one thought, to protect Wang Sheng, and she could give up everything else.

Even if it's your own life.

"Crack!"

Zhou Qing interrupted their performance. The acting between Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun was indeed quite different.

"Xixi, your eyes need to be firmer. What you need to show at this moment is not pity, but fearlessness."

"You were indeed scared when you first saw Xiao Wei's true face, but you are not afraid now. You just want to protect Wang Sheng."

"Now is your bravest moment."

After detailed communication and proper training with Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei finally met the requirements.

Of course, the final effect cannot be compared with Zhou Xun's, but if you look at it from the standard of a commercial film, it is also acceptable.

"Is this Sissi? Can she act so well?"

Liu Xiaoli, who was watching the show, appeared calm on the surface, but was still very surprised in her heart.

The performance just now completely exceeded the threshold of Sissi's acting skills!

As Liu Yifei's mother, Liu Xiaoli accompanies Liu Yifei on filming on the set all day long and is very clear about her daughter's acting skills.

My precious daughter can never reach this level!
All I can say is that a great director is a great director, and his ability to train actors is indeed extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but glance at Zhou Qing subconsciously.

Full of admiration.

She knew before that Zhou Qing was a famous director, but she had never seen Zhou Qing's abilities in person.

Now that his daughter is starring in the other person's movie, he finally got to see it with his own eyes.

In early May, Penguin CEO Ma accepted an interview with Nanfang Metropolis Daily, which attracted a lot of attention from the entertainment industry.

Mr. Ma has never been optimistic about interactive entertainment, and this time he still insists on his "short-term theory of interactive entertainment."

"In our opinion, interactive entertainment may grow in the next two to four years, but the growth will definitely slow down after the base reaches a certain scale, and may even stop growing. Therefore, the long-term and stable revenue model should still come from corporate payments and advertising revenue, including search payment and e-commerce."

Mr. Ma spoke freely in front of the reporters.

"Penguin Ma is sometimes not as forward-looking as Jack Ma."

While Zhou Qing was eating melons, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But it was just a complaint. No matter how pessimistic Mr. Ma was about interactive entertainment, it would not stop Zhou Qing from buying Penguin stocks.

That’s right, as early as 2004 when Penguin was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Zhou Qing had already started to buy Penguin’s shares continuously.

Up to now, Zhou Qing has invested more than 5000 million RMB and purchased a total of 700 million shares of Penguin stock.

How much will these 700 million shares of Penguin stock be worth in the future?
Zhou Qing actually didn't have an exact concept.

He just vaguely remembered hearing people talking about it in 2021 in his previous life. It seemed that Penguin stock at that time reached more than 500 yuan per share.

According to this rough estimate, Zhou Qing will have a net worth of at least 3 billion in the future relying on these stocks now.

It's very pleasant.

The filming of "Painted Skin" at Hengdian World Studios has been completed, and Xiao Wei and Wang Sheng have completed their love-hate relationship.

Because of love, the thousand-year-old fox demon was willing to use the "spirit" that she had cultivated for a thousand years to save Wang Sheng.

And saved all the people she killed.

What's the cost?
Xiao Wei turned into a fox again, but did not die.

In fact, from a creative point of view, Xiao Wei's death is the most perfect way to deal with the problem, and it can best elevate the character of Xiao Wei.

But what can I say? There is a sequel to "Painted Skin".

Zhou Qing also plans to produce "Painted Skin 2".

You should know that Wu Ershan’s "Painted Skin 2" is actually just an average film, and its reputation on a certain platform just barely passed the passing line, with only 6.1 points.

But the box office soared, earning a total of 7 million RMB, ranking second in the domestic film box office in 12.

The champion of that year was "Lost in Thailand", which grossed a terrifying 12.7 billion yuan.

Even if the Hollywood blockbusters of that year were included, "Painted Skin 2" would still rank third.

Only "Titanic 3D" ranks above "Painted Skin 2".

Other Hollywood blockbusters such as "Mission Impossible 4", "Life of Pi", "Avengers", "Men in Black 3" and so on have never been better than "Painted Skin 2".

It can be said that it is still very, very strong.

Zhou Qing would naturally not miss such huge box office potential.

Coupled with Zhou Qing's current level of top director + screenwriter, he can also make "Painted Skin 2" better.

The box office will only be higher then!
So why not?

Zhou Qing had already planned it out.

It is even possible that given the good response to "Painted Skin 2", it is not impossible for Zhou Qing to make a "Painted Skin 3".

With Zhou Qing's current full-level screenwriting ability, there is no problem for him to create an original high-quality script.

The only thing to consider is whether you have the time and whether you are busy enough.

After all, writing an original script does take a lot of time, and is far less convenient and quick than "plagiarism".

"Are we heading into the desert next?"

Liu Yifei came to Zhou Qing and asked about the situation, with a hint of longing in her eyes.

She had never been to a desert.

That must have been a very novel experience, right?
"Yes, our next stop is Yinchuan for filming."

Zhou Qing nodded and told the truth.

All the scenes to be shot next for Painted Skin will be on location.

One of the most important filming locations is Yinchuan, which was also the filming location for "A Chinese Odyssey".

The crew had already built the corresponding outdoor scenes there, so they just had to pull people over to shoot.

The scenes to be filmed are the part at the beginning of the movie.

The scene where Wang Sheng was killing enemies outside and accidentally met Xiao Wei, and then "rescued" Xiao Wei.

"Every unit prepares!"

"start!"

As the clapperboard sounded, the extras and soldiers rushed towards Zhou Xun like hungry wolves.

It was like seeing Xiang’s dog.

It’s not that these people have never seen women, but they have all been bewitched by vixen.

Surrounded by a group of men, Xiao Wei's petite and fragile figure huddled together, arousing people's inner desire to protect her.

At the same time, there is a kind of charm and seduction between her eyebrows, which directly hits the heart of men.

"You tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you."

The bandit leader "Desert Blood Camel" was even more bewitched by Xiao Wei and was very attentive to her.

There was a hint of playfulness in Xiao Wei's eyes as he looked at the prey in front of him with amusement, intending to play with it a bit.

"really?"

Xiao Wei threw a coquettish glance at the desert blood camel.

How should I put it, she's very vixen.

An actor's superb acting skills are fully displayed here.

Although Zhou Xun's appearance is not up to the level of a vixen, she makes up for it with her acting skills.

Looking at the other party’s performance now, who dares to say that this is not a vixen?

"Of course it's true. My heart is already yours."

The Desert Blood Camel had long been bewitched by Xiao Wei and had lost his mind, so he said something that he should not have said.

"Oh, I caught you!"

Zhou Xun pretended to grab the extra’s chest.

The other party immediately revealed an expression of extreme pain, as if his heart had been taken out.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

There aren't actually that many scenes in Yinchuan.

Wang Sheng destroyed the bandit nest of "Desert Blood Camel" and then rescued Xiao Wei.

The filming was completed in just two days.

As for the remaining filming locations, there were even fewer scenes, and the crew's time was basically spent on the road.

Under such circumstances, all filming of "Painted Skin" was completed on May 5th.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

"Now I declare that the filming of Painted Skin has officially finished!"

After the last shot was shot, director Zhou Qing announced the news to everyone.

"It's done!"

"It's done!"

Wow!
There was a burst of warm applause all around.

The faces of all the creators were filled with smiles of excitement and anticipation. (End of this chapter)
