Chapter 213: Breaking 4 million in 8 days, breaking 2 million in days, "Now You See Me" i
"2900 million? Is his movie so good?"
Feng Xiaogang, another famous director from the mainland, felt a little jealous.
My good mood due to the huge box office success of "Assembly" was inevitably overshadowed by a layer of depression.
That’s right, the first-day box office of “Assembly” of 1500 million is indeed amazing, and it will definitely make “Assembly” a big profit.
It is a good thing worth celebrating and being happy.
It has completely gotten rid of the shadow that "The Banquet" brought to Feng Xiaogang last year.
But looking at the first day box office of "Now You See Me", how can Feng Xiaogang be happy?
Damn, their first day box office was almost twice that of "Assembly"!
This huge gap made Feng Xiaogang feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, and it made Feng Xiaogang even more embarrassed.
You know, he has much more experience than Zhou Qing.
When he pioneered the Lunar New Year box office and dominated the Lunar New Year box office, Zhou Qing was still in school.
Although Zhou Qing's box office success when he made art films was also explosive, none of them exceeded the box office success of Feng Xiaogang's films.
Feng Xiaogang can still be somewhat comforted.
You can also feel more at ease sitting in the position of a big director in the mainland.
But as soon as Zhou Qing started making commercial films, he immediately left them behind, and left them behind completely.
If the movie "Night Banquet" is not as good as Zhou Qing, it can be said to be a coincidence.
After all, a movie really can't explain anything.
but now?
"Assembly" has also been left behind, and even further behind!
If one movie is a coincidence, then it would be a stretch to say it is a coincidence if two consecutive movies are the same.
I'm afraid that many people in the circle now think that Feng Xiaogang can't win as many awards as others, and even his box office can't beat others, right?
"2900 million on the first day? This movie not only broke the record of Painted Skin, but it could also hit 4 million at the box office?"
Poet Chen also felt his heart beating faster, which was due to the stimulation.
The box office of 4 million is thrilling enough even for him.
You have to know that throughout the history of Chinese entertainment, there has never been another movie with a box office of over 3 million yuan except for "Painted Skin".
Even Master Zhang's "Curse of the Golden Flower", although it almost reached 3 million, it still didn't reach 3 million.
As a result, under this circumstance, will Zhou Qing's other movie be able to make 4 million yuan?
Good guy!
Poet Chen almost couldn't help but be a good guy.
Even with the arrogance of poet Chen, he had to admit that he was currently unable to do such a thing.
At least "Mei Lanfang" certainly can't do it.
However, poet Chen believes that when he directs a big-budget commercial film again, he will surpass Zhou Qing in one fell swoop.
There is definitely no problem with this!
It's not just Feng Xiaogang, Chen Shishi and others, but also big stars in the circle like the Four Dans and Shuang Bing, all of them were shocked by the first day box office of "Now You See Me".
No one could remain calm.
Isn’t Director Zhou Qing’s fighting power a little too terrifying?
The actors' enthusiasm for Zhou Qing continued to grow.
When will I be lucky enough to be selected by Director Zhou to star in his movie?
After grossing 2925 million on the first day, "Now You See Me" continued to reap box office revenue in an unstoppable manner.
The box office exceeded 3000 million on the second day, and the same was true on the third and fourth days, with the box office always exceeding 3000 million.
In just four days, the box office reached 1.2 million!
That’s right, “Now You See Me” once again achieved the terrifying achievement of “Painted Skin” which broke the 4 million yuan mark in days.
But the 4-day box office revenue of "Now You See Me" and the 4-day box office revenue of "Painted Skin" are different.
"Painted Skin" just broke the 1.2 million mark, but "Now You See Me" made million!
That’s more than 20 million!
In fact, on the third day, the box office of "Now You See Me" had reached 9867 million.
The box office is only a few million away from breaking 100 million, but it can already be considered to have broken 100 million.
The entire circle was stunned once again.
So what about the first week box office of Now You See Me?
He managed to make 1.75 million!
According to the usual rules in the industry, if we roughly estimate the box office from the first week, it will not be a problem for "Now You See Me" to have a total box office of over 4 million.
numb.
It’s numb!
Following the 3 million box office of "Painted Skin", will there be another Chinese-language film that breaks 4 million?
Director Zhou has once again raised the ceiling for Chinese-language films!
On the 8th day, "Now You See Me" once again earned 2700 million at the box office, helping the box office of "Now You See Me" break through the 2 million mark.
How long did it take "Painted Skin" to achieve this achievement?
12 days.
Now "Now You See Me" has shortened this time to 8 days.
So happy.
Everyone in Zhou Qing's studio was so happy.
The biggest beneficiaries of the success of "Now You See Me" are them.
"Qingzi, there's no doubt that our movie will break 4 million at the box office. 4 million! I starred in a movie that made 4 million!"
Zhu Yawen was like a big fool. He couldn't even sit still and kept wandering back and forth in front of Zhou Qing.
Can you imagine starring in a movie with a box office of 4 million?
Aren’t you afraid that you will become an overnight sensation?
"Painted Skin" has actually caused Zhu Yawen's net worth to skyrocket and made him famous overnight.
However, because Zhu Yawen played a lizard spirit in the film, which was a major supporting role and the role was not very outstanding, the added value he brought was not that great.
But "Now You See Me" is different, he is one of the leading actors in this movie!
"Look at you, you fool."
Zhou Qing couldn't help but tease Zhu Yawen.
This person is really overwhelmed by happiness now.
"Brother Yawen, you are going to be famous! Congratulations."
Zhao Liying sent sweet blessings on the side.
"Liying is right. Old Zhu, you are going to be famous. No, you are already famous."
Wang Baoqiang immediately echoed.
It's not just because "Now You See Me" was a huge hit, but also because Zhu Yawen's "Crossing the Guandong" was also aired recently and the ratings were explosive.
This TV series broke CCTV's ratings record with an incredible 11.84 as soon as it was aired.
It is a genuine super hit!
It is even more popular than Wang Baoqiang's "Soldier Assault", which took a long time to become a hit.
Zhu Chuanwu, played by Zhu Yawen, is a very important supporting role in "Crossing the Guandong".
The key characters are also well-developed, leaving a very deep impression on people and bringing great popularity to Zhu Yawen.
With the huge hit "Now You See Me" and the equally huge hit "The Battle Through the Guandong", it's hard for Zhu Yawen not to be popular!
Not to mention, Wang Baoqiang and Zhao Liying, who are from the same studio, both know that Zhou Qing has arranged a male lead for Zhu Yawen.
Zhu Yawen saw a big fire, which was visible to the naked eye.
"I'm here to thank you for your good words. If I really become famous, I'll treat you to a meal."
Zhu Yawen looked so refreshed and spoke to the people present with great anticipation.
"Then you have to have a good meal!"
Zhao Liying smiled immediately.
"That's right, then you have to treat us well."
Wang Baoqiang smiled in the same innocent way.
"sure."
Zhu Yawen agreed readily. If he was really angry, treating everyone to a meal would not be a problem.
"By the way, Lao Zhu, when will your film "Love Is Not Blind" be filmed?"
After playing around for a while, Wang Baoqiang straightened his face, looked at Zhu Yawen and asked.
"Teacher Xue has already notified them and they will join the group in three days."
Zhu Yawen told Wang Baoqiang the answer, and then turned his gaze to Zhou Qing.
"Qingzi, you will also be there when the filming starts, right?" Zhu Yawen asked eagerly.
This is a movie starring Zhu Yawen alone, which is different from the four protagonists of "Now You See Me".
Zhu Yawen certainly hopes that Zhou Qing can go and stand on the platform.
"of course."
Zhou Qing nodded as a matter of course.
This movie is produced exclusively by himself, so Zhou Qing will naturally not ignore it.
This matter was agreed upon so happily.
On January 1, "The Warlords", which had been released for a month, was completely withdrawn from theaters, and the total box office was subsequently revealed.
1.8 million.
That’s right, it’s not 2 million in the original time and space, but 1.8 million.
After all, the release of "Now You See Me" did have a certain impact on "The Warlords".
Even though "The Warlords" had been released for 17 days at that time, who could blame "Now You See Me" for having such a strong momentum?
But even if it is 1.8 million, to be honest, it is not actually low. After all, there are not many films in the entire Chinese entertainment industry that have exceeded this box office these days.
At most, there is only Zhang Guoshi's "Curse of the Golden Flower" and Zhou Qing's "Painted Skin".
But considering the investment of 3 million yuan in "The Warlords", this result is undoubtedly unsatisfactory.
Not to mention recovering the cost, even the box office revenue is less than the cost.
Therefore, if "The Warlords" wants to break even or even make a profit, it can only rely on box office revenue from other places.
Considering Li Lianjie's immensely powerful appeal, everyone feels that "The Warlords" is still worth looking forward to.
However, director Chen Kexin doesn't care about these at all.
For him, he already has a movie that has been a box office hit.
The billion-dollar directors club is still very valuable these days.
As for whether the investors make a loss or not, what does that have to do with me as a director?
"Student Zhou Qing."
"Teacher Xue!"
"Love Is Not Blind", which has been in preparation for a long time, has finally started filming, and Zhou Qing once again went to the stage to support it without any effort.
"Director Zhou, do you still remember me? I'm Tang Yan from the Central Academy of Drama."
The heroine Tang Yan ran over to greet Zhou Qing, feeling a little nervous and excited.
In 04, Zhou Qing went to the Central Academy of Drama to give a speech, and Tang Yan even had a conversation with Zhou Qing.
So Tang Yan really wasn't greeting Zhou Qing forcing himself.
The two sides have indeed had dealings with each other.
But it was just a brief encounter at that time, and we haven't had any contact since then.
So when Tang Yan stood in front of Zhou Qing again, he was a little nervous.
I’m afraid Director Zhou has completely forgotten about me?
"Tang Yan, of course I remember you. When I went to your school to give a speech, you asked me questions, right?"
Zhou Qing laughed.
As a reborn person, how could he not recognize this person?
This is one of the four beauties of the future Fairy Sword.
"Director Zhou, you actually still remember me!"
Tang Yan was surprised and delighted, not to mention how unexpected he was.
That year she was just an ordinary student at the Central Academy of Drama and was completely insignificant in front of Director Zhou.
But who would have thought that three or four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Director Zhou still remembers her.
"How could I not remember? You have good conditions. You will be famous sooner or later in the future."
Zhou Qing smiled and encouraged Tang Yan.
In the original time and space, Bai Baihe became famous through the role of Huang Xiaoxian in "Love Is Not Blind".
Zhou Qing is actually full of expectations as to whether this movie can also make Tang Yan famous.
"Director Zhou, do you really think so?"
Tang Yan suddenly felt like he was given an injection of chicken blood and almost couldn't help jumping up.
Is Director Zhou so optimistic about himself?
Tang Yan is no longer calm.
"of course."
Zhou Qing smiled lightly and gave an affirmative answer.
Tang Yan became more and more excited and his breathing became heavier.
"Hello Director Zhou, I'm Zu Feng, an actor from Beijing Film Academy."
Zu Feng also ran over to greet Zhou Qing politely.
Although he was much older than Zhou Qing, he did not dare to act like a senior in front of Zhou Qing.
This junior fellow student, who is many years younger than me, has a much higher status in the circle than me.
Even if they were not from the same Beijing Film Academy, Zu Feng might not have the nerve to come and say hello to Zhou Qing.
"Hello, Senior Brother Zu Feng."
Zhou Qing also greeted Zu Feng politely.
Although he is not well-known now, it is undeniable that he is a good actor.
Of course, the same is true for Liu Yajun, another graduate from Beijing Film Academy, both of whom are powerful actors with superb acting skills.
But he is even more unknown than Zu Feng.
This is how the industry is. You can’t make it in this industry just because you have good acting skills.
Opportunities, connections, and background are all very important.
"Love Is Not Blind, an exclusive film produced by Director Zhou Qing, starts filming today. The leading actor is Zhu Yawen, one of the four knights in Now You See Me."
"Director Zhou Qing attended the launch conference of Love Is Not Blind and shared the story of how the script was created."
"The low-budget movie "Love Is Not Blind" produced and written by director Zhou Qing has started filming, and most of the actors are from Beijing Film Academy."
Although Xue Xiaolu is a new director and has no fame.
But after the launch conference, "Love Is Not Blind" still received great attention.
All I can say is that Zhou Qing’s golden signboard is still very, very useful.
In addition, Zhou Qing personally showed up to support the film, making it even harder for this movie to ignore attention.
"Now You See Me" has been released for two weeks now, and the momentum is still very strong.
As for the total box office, it has reached 2.8 million!
That’s right, in just two weeks, “Now You See Me” is about to break the 300 million box office mark.
It left all the people in the industry dumbfounded.
Isn’t this too intense?
Judging from this trend, it will be not difficult for "Now You See Me" to break 4 million.
"I'm going to be the heroine of a 4 million box office movie, Zhou Qing!"
Liu Yifei was so excited that she almost went crazy. She coiled around Zhou Qing like a snake and kept doing MUA.
"So, how are you going to thank me?"
Zhou Qing had a look of pride on his face. As a director, he was very satisfied with the current momentum of Now You See Me.
What's even more gratifying?
Zhou Qing also specifically looked into the box office in Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the situation was also very good.
"What do you say?"
Liu Yifei threw a coquettish glance at Zhou Qing.
"Haha, let's see how you beg for mercy later." (End of this chapter)
