Chapter 186 Our goal is global, the weight of Zhou Qing's two words
"Lost on Journey," written and directed by Zhou Qing, has grossed an astonishing 6452 million yuan at the box office, once again attracting attention from the industry."
"Lost on Journey, which was only invested 400 million yuan, grossed 6452 million yuan at the box office. Director Zhou Qing created a miracle of making a big profit with a small investment."
"Lost on Journey" grossed 6452 million yuan. Director Zhou Qing once again proved to everyone that 'what Director Zhou produces is a masterpiece.'"
Reports from all sides quickly spread out, making Zhou Qing and "Lost on Journey" once again a hot topic in the spotlight.
"Director Zhou, I never thought Lost on Journey would be such a big hit at the box office!"
Wang Baoqiang was as happy as a child, sharing his joy with Zhou Qing with a smile on his face.
In fact, the box office of "Lost on Journey" was only half of that of "A World Without Thieves", but Wang Baoqiang was happier than when "A World Without Thieves" had a box office of over 100 million yuan.
After all, "A World Without Thieves" is a movie starring many big names, and Wang Baoqiang is just a supporting role.
No matter how high the box office is, it cannot be attributed to Wang Baoqiang; his influence is almost negligible.
But "Lost on Journey" is different.
He is definitely the leading actor!
Can this feeling be the same?
"Baoqiang, you are really going to be famous."
Huang Bo couldn't help but sigh out loud. While he was congratulating Wang Baoqiang, he couldn't help feeling a little sour.
Isn’t it too easy for Wang Baoqiang to become famous?
Think about his own acting career, how bumpy it was!
If I hadn't been lucky enough to be chosen by Qingzi to star in "127 Hours", I'm not sure I would have been able to survive.
"It's all thanks to Director Zhou. If it weren't for Director Zhou's script, the box office of this movie wouldn't be so high."
Wang Baoqiang flattered him smoothly.
This is the weight of the two words "Zhou Qing" today!
"My script is only one aspect. Baoqiang, you and Senior Brother Xu both performed very well, and Senior Brother Ning Hao also filmed it well."
"I have made contributions, and you have made contributions as well."
Zhou Qing waved his hand and said to Wang Baoqiang with a smile.
Everyone was in a good mood and talking and laughing together, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Ning Hao on the other side was a little depressed.
He was obviously the director of the movie, but because the script was written by Aoko, everyone was praising Aoko!
Of course, some people say that director Ning Hao is a good director, but they are only a minority. Mainstream public opinion believes that the success of the movie is due to Qingzi.
In front of Qingzi, he, the director, was completely overshadowed.
"This is the last time. I will never film Aoko's script again."
Ning Hao secretly made this decision in his heart.
It just so happened that his wife Xing Aina also had an inspiration and was working on a new script.
Like his own "Crazy Stone", both are multi-line narrative stories, which are very much to Ning Hao's liking.
Ning Hao’s next movie will definitely be based on the script written by Xing Aina.
But that's all for the future. As for now, let's hold the celebration party for Lost on Journey first.
"Brother, we have to hold a great celebration banquet this time!"
Ning Hao very much agreed with Zhou Qing's proposal.
Whether it is a premiere or a celebration banquet, the scale and specifications can directly reflect a director's status in the industry.
It definitely makes a difference how many people show up and what kind of people show up.
Even Ning Hao took this matter very seriously.
"Director Chen."
Zhou Qing immediately called Director Chen over and asked him to take charge of the matter.
He also emphasized that the invitation from Huayi must be delivered.
Why?
Because Zhou Qing wanted to create an opportunity to have a chat with Wang Zhongjun or Wang Zhonglei.
The current "Lost on Journey" is a good opportunity.
Of course, given Wang Zhongjun or Wang Zhonglei's status, they may not attend such a celebration banquet.
After all, Zhou Qing is not a director, he is just a screenwriter and producer.
What's more, Wang Zhongjun had already attended the celebration party for "Painted Skin".
But it doesn’t really matter.
We are all in this circle, and as long as we work hard, there are actually many opportunities like this.
If they don’t come this time, we can just create opportunities next time. It’s not a big deal.
"A celebration party for Lost on Journey?"
After receiving the invitation, Wang Zhongjun really fell into deep thought.
But it didn't take long to make a decision.
go with!
It wasn't just because of Zhou Qing. In fact, Wang Zhongjun was focusing on Ning Hao.
With the success of the two movies "Crazy Stone" and "Lost on Journey", Ning Hao has really become famous.
Although "Lost on Journey" was written by Zhou Qing, it would have been impossible to achieve such a dazzling box office if Ning Hao did not have the ability.
Anyone with eyes can see that Ning Hao is a director worth investing heavily in and winning over.
You have to know that in the original time and space, the box office of "Crazy Stone" of more than 2000 million made Han Sanping come to the door on his own initiative.
Not to mention Ning Hao's current situation.
There are actually quite a few investors in the circle who are interested in Ning Hao.
After all, these days, it is still very rare to find commercial film directors who can make money.
It is even rarer to find someone like Ning Hao who can create a box office miracle by making a small investment into a big one!
That’s right, Ning Hao is also a hot commodity now.
"Director Ning, congratulations on the box office success of Lost on Journey!"
"Congratulations, Ning Hao. Lost on Journey is doing so well at the box office."
On February 2, "Lost on Journey" held a grand celebration banquet.
Guests from all parties came in an endless stream, and the scene was very lively.
There were many more people coming than at the premiere, and everyone's attitude towards Ning Hao was naturally a little different.
Be it the big bosses from the film and television companies or the celebrities in the circle, they all came to greet Ning Hao enthusiastically.
Ning Hao is still quite fanatically sought after.
As for Zhou Qing?
Needless to say, he is undoubtedly the most handsome guy in the crowd except Ning Hao.
His popularity is even greater than Ning Hao's.
"Director Zhou!"
"Mr. Wang!"
Since Wang Zhongjun was here too, whether it was because of Zhou Qing or not, he had to say hello to Zhou Qing.
"Huayi is really generous. Li Lianjie and Cheng Long have joined forces. I dare not even think about it!"
After some pleasantries, the two sides inevitably mentioned the currently popular "Double J Plan", and Zhou Qing appropriately expressed his approval.
Wang Zhongjun, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but reveal a smug look on his face.
Being able to impress a director of Director Zhou's level really satisfied his vanity.
"It is indeed difficult for the two of them to join forces, but everything depends on human effort."
Wang Zhongjun smiled, showing a calm and relaxed attitude.
It seems that this is just a trivial matter for Huayi.
"Cheng Long + Li Lianjie, 'Double J Project' is definitely a box office harvester. Congratulations to Mr. Wang in advance. Huayi has produced another hit."
Zhou Qing had a smile on his face and continued to chat with Wang Zhongjun.
"The target of the Double J Project this time is the global market, and the Double Js are international superstars."
Wang Zhongjun is ambitious and full of confidence.
"Then I wish 'Double J Project' a huge success at the global box office."
"Thank you Director Zhou for your good words."
After saying hello, Wang Zhongjun continued to walk among the crowd with his wine glass in hand, chatting and laughing with other bigwigs. Zhou Qing did the same.
As for the purpose of his visit to Wang Zhongjun this time, he did not mention a word.
It was just a simple greeting just now.
"Brother, after this movie, your name has become famous."
Ning Hao and Zhou Qing, who had gotten rid of the crowd, reunited together, and Zhou Qing sighed with a smile.
"Thanks to you Qingzi for your help!"
Ning Hao said from the bottom of his heart.
If Zhou Qing hadn't invested in two of his films in succession and written the scripts for him to shoot, how could Ning Hao have his current status?
Ning Hao was well aware of this.
"The most important thing is that you have the talent, brother."
Zhou Qing waved his hands, acting very calm.
"Let's go, it's almost time to take our seats."
After the two sides chatted for a while, Ning Hao invited Zhou Qing to take a seat.
As for the seat, there is no doubt that it is with top bosses such as Wang Zhongjun.
Zhou Qing continued to chat and laugh with these big guys as if nothing had happened.
However, when chatting with Wang Zhongjun, he "accidentally" mentioned that his studio was going to sign Liu Yifei.
You should know that the reason why Liu Yifei was able to get the role of Golden Swallow was because Liu Xiaoli promised Huayi that Liu Yifei would join Huayi.
Otherwise, why would Huayi hand over resources of this level to outsiders?
Don’t so many female stars at Huayi look down on this role?
Of course, Liu Xiaoli was just bluffing. Whether she stood up Huayi afterwards is another matter.
So if Wang Zhongjun knew early on that Liu Yifei was going to sign with another company, he naturally would not consider Liu Yifei again.
As for Liu Xiaoli?
Zhou Qing only needs to "accidentally" reveal to Liu Xiaoli that he and Huayi had talked about signing Liu Yifei, and she will naturally not lie to Huayi again.
Even if we take a step back and say that even if Liu Xiaoli continues to fool Huayi as she did before, she won't be able to do so.
After all, Zhou Qing has already taken the precautions on Huayi's side, right?
Of course, the possibility of this happening is very small, and Liu Xiaoli would only do that if she was crazy.
In short, with such double protection, the incident of Liu Yifei offending Huayi and being banned by Huayi will naturally not happen again.
"I've said too much, Mr. Wang, please keep it a secret for me."
Zhou Qing looked as if he had let something slip and kept giving Wang Zhongjun instructions.
This kind of thing was naturally nothing to Wang Zhongjun, so he agreed without hesitation.
But he secretly sighed in his heart, Huayi has been eyeing Liu Yifei for so long, no wonder the other party has not let go, it turns out that they have already found an employer a long time ago.
So, is this the reason why Director Zhou chose Liu Yifei to play the female lead in "Painted Skin"?
It seems that Director Zhou really values Liu Yifei.
However, considering Director Zhou's sincerity towards Liu Yifei, it is not surprising that Huayi cannot compete with the other party.
Well, she is nothing more than a female star. Since Director Zhou has fought for her, Huayi should let her go.
Wang Zhongjun made this decision secretly in his heart.
On February 2, Liu Yifei's self-titled album "Liu Yifei" was officially released.
The momentum was very good, with 3 copies sold on the first day, a result far exceeding Sony's expectations.
After all, to be honest, Liu Yifei is just a newcomer in the music industry.
The album "Liu Yifei" is also Liu Yifei's first album.
But many famous singers cannot achieve this sales volume.
I can only say that Liu Yifei’s fans are really scary.
"Congratulations, Xixi. Your album is selling so well. You are going to be a singing star."
Zhou Qing extended his heartfelt congratulations to Liu Yifei.
"I didn't expect to sell so many, I didn't even think it would exceed ten thousand."
Liu Yifei couldn't help herself and the smile on her face never left.
"You underestimate yourself."
Zhou Qing smiled. He was not surprised at all by this result.
You should know that in the original time and space, Liu Yifei's album of the same name sold 67 copies, ranking fifth in the country.
This result is really amazing.
Now Liu Yifei has also starred in "Painted Skin", so the album will only sell more, and it would not be surprising to sell 700,000 or 800,000.
"By the way, how's my singing? Don't tell me you didn't buy my album."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Liu Yifei looked at Zhou Qing with a fierce look, with a warning look on her face.
"Oops~"
Zhou Qing slapped his head, as if he had just realized something, "I forgot, Xixi."
"Forgot? Are you looking for death? How could you forget this?"
Liu Yifei raised her fist and punched Zhou Qing hard.
Of course I didn't use any force.
Zhou Qing's expression couldn't be more fake. Liu Yifei knew that Zhou Qing was joking with her.
"She's murdering her husband! Auntie, you have to take care of Sissi."
Zhou Qing yelled at the top of his lungs.
"If you keep yelling, I'll kill you!"
Liu Yifei is unyielding.
Thanks to the good start, Liu Yifei began to sell her albums more vigorously.
However, Zhou Qing didn't have time to accompany the girl to do this.
Because the New Year is approaching, Zhou Qing is going home to celebrate the New Year.
"Xiao Liu!"
After giving the studio a holiday and asking his assistant to book a plane ticket home, Zhou Qing set out on his journey home.
"Qingzi, you're back!"
Seeing the smiles on his parents' faces, Zhou Qing still felt as warm as always.
"I am back!"
Following his parents into the house, Zhou Qing immersed himself in the warmth of home.
"Aoko, your latest movie is really good. I heard it broke the box office record?"
After chatting and laughing for a while, my dad couldn't help but talk about Zhou Qing's new movie.
"It's just temporary."
There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so Zhou Qing nodded and admitted it.
"It's pretty powerful even temporarily."
My mother couldn't help but give Zhou Qing a thumbs up.
"But mom and dad, have you watched my movie?"
Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask.
People of my parents’ age generally don’t have the habit of watching movies.
But considering that this is a movie made by myself, well, it’s not surprising.
"I saw it. How could I not see it? It's a movie made by my son."
Dad nodded heavily as a matter of course.
Starting from the first "127 Hours", they have watched every movie of their son without missing a single one.
"And the one you made up about a person on his way home for the New Year, that one is also good."
My mother added.
That movie was made with money from Qingzi, so they were also very interested in it.
"It's a comedy, just right for having some fun during the New Year."
Zhou Qing nodded and agreed with a smile. (End of this chapter)
