Chapter 217 1 His own efforts ruined the future of Hong Kong entertainment, the potential of the &qu
"Come to Yifei and try the sweet and sour carp made by Auntie!"
"And this sweet and sour pork, eat more."
"Yifei, this soup tastes great too."
……
Ignored, completely ignored.
Ever since Liu Yifei was brought home, Zhou Qing no longer appeared in the eyes of her parents.
He kept talking about Yifei's good and bad points, and Zhou Qing, his biological son, was completely ignored.
"Yifei, you look exactly like that big star on TV, the Little Dragon Girl in The Return of the Condor Heroes."
Halfway through the meal, Dad finally slowly discovered the truth, and couldn't help but look at Liu Yifei and said.
"Yes, they are exactly the same. That's what I thought at first sight."
My mother also immediately nodded in agreement.
Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei on the opposite side looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Dad, Mom, you read it right. That Little Dragon Girl was played by Xixi."
Zhou Qing revealed this to his parents with a smug look on his face.
My parents were stunned.
It turns out that my son really found a big star?
This kind of thing is unimaginable to the two elders.
But on second thought, yes.
My son is already a director, so it’s not strange for him to find a big star.
Because of the presence of Liu Yifei, this year's New Year's Eve is much more lively than previous years.
The whole family and Liu Yifei watched the Spring Festival Gala and chatted, the atmosphere was extremely lively.
It is still 08 and the Spring Festival Gala is still quite interesting.
"Chinese" by SHE group is very good. Not only is the melody catchy, but the whole song's intention is also very positive.
In addition, Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain" is also very eye-catching, and the Chinese style is very much to Jay Chou's taste.
On the contrary, Uncle Zhao’s skit “Torchbearer” was a little disappointing.
"Happy New Year, Lao Zhou!"
"Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"
The next day when they were paying New Year’s greetings, Zhou Qing had to “hide” Liu Yifei temporarily.
I didn't dare let my relatives or neighbors see Liu Yifei, otherwise the news would spread throughout the whole village in less than half a day.
My parents are so depressed that they are about to get internal injuries.
God have mercy on them, the two old people wanted to show off to others how much their son had brought back such an excellent daughter-in-law.
However, after Zhou Qing's earnest explanation, the two elders temporarily understood that this matter should not be rushed.
If you can’t show off, then don’t do that. Your daughter-in-law’s career is more important.
Anyway, it’s enough that my son brings the person home, nothing else matters.
It was also on the day of the Spring Festival that Jay Chou's "Slam Dunk" was released, and the box office was extremely successful on the first day.
It’s as high as 1600 million!
It’s higher than the first-day box office of “CJ7”.
I can only say that Jay Chou’s fans are indeed terrifying.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the timing of its release, after all, it falls on the day of the Spring Festival.
However, considering the reputation of "Slam Dunk" and the lack of follow-up of fan movies, it is impossible for the total box office of "Slam Dunk" to surpass "CJ7".
"Director Zhou!"
Director Chen also received news that the long-awaited "Twilight" officially started filming in Portland.
"Has our producer been sent over yet?"
After understanding the relevant situation, Zhou Qing subconsciously asked Director Chen.
Although he did not interfere with the creation of "Twilight", he still had to be fully aware of the filming situation.
Especially in terms of funds, after all, he invested a lot of real money.
"Don't worry, Director Zhou. I have already arranged for the producer to go there. He is definitely reliable."
Director Chen immediately said to Zhou Qing with a solemn oath.
Zhou Qing was relieved.
He still trusts Director Chen's abilities.
"Has the film you invested in Hollywood started shooting?"
Liu Yifei also came over curiously to inquire about the situation.
"Yes, today is a good time to start the filming."
Zhou Qing smiled and nodded.
It just so happens that the film started filming on the day of the Chinese New Year. What a coincidence.
“This movie will definitely be good.”
Liu Yifei said heavily.
She is fascinated by novels, not to mention movies.
"Xixi's vision must be good."
Zhou Qing immediately agreed, saying that it didn’t really matter whether the movie was good or not, what mattered was that it was a box office success.
"Have a great New Year!"
While I was talking and laughing with Liu Yifei, someone else came to wish us a happy new year.
Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei, who were hiding in the bedroom, immediately lowered their voices so as not to disturb the neighbors.
"Didn't Qingzi come back? Why isn't she here?"
"I went out to pay New Year's greetings."
"I see. I was thinking of chatting with Aoko."
"That's unfortunate. I just went out."
After the neighbors left, Zhou Qing said hello to Liu Yifei and really went out to wish everyone a happy new year.
It would be fine if you didn't come back, but the key is that everyone has come back, and it would be unreasonable not to go and pay New Year's greetings.
As for Liu Yifei, she was still hiding well in Zhou Qing's house and had never been exposed.
"Happy New Year, Director Zhou. I wish you a happy new year."
Zhou Qing didn't expect that Jiang Wei would also call to wish him a happy new year.
But after all, he was a senior at the Beijing Film Academy, and they were still discussing the adaptation of "The Disguiser", so Zhou Qing chatted with him enthusiastically.
"When will Director Zhou come back?"
After the greetings, Jiang Wei mentioned this seemingly unintentionally.
"I'm going back on the sixth day of the New Year. Is there something wrong, brother?"
Zhou Qing asked calmly, but his heart was moved.
Could it be that Jiang Wei has already written the script?
"The script for Lurk has been written. How about we have a good chat about it when you come back?"
Jiang Wei's impatient voice came from the receiver, exactly as Zhou Qing expected.
"Sure, then you can just come to my studio and find me."
Zhou Qing agreed readily.
"It seems Director Jiang really can't wait."
After ending the call, Zhou Qing sighed with a smile.
However, as a director himself, he can understand Jiang Wei's feelings very well.
And to be honest, Zhou Qing himself is also very much looking forward to "The Disguiser".
"Qingzi, Happy New Year."
Ning Hao also called, and the two sides exchanged greetings warmly and harmoniously for a while.
"Has Crazy Racing wrapped up?"
Zhou Qing also asked about this matter specifically.
"I was so excited on New Year's Eve that I was thinking if I could finish the filming a day in advance so that everyone could go back home to celebrate New Year's Eve. I didn't expect that I would still be able to film that day."
Ning Hao started to flirt with Zhou Qing on the phone. But no matter what, "Crazy Racing" was finally finished, and Ning Hao was still very happy.
"Hurry up and finish the film in post-production, and then choose a good time to release it. I am looking forward to that day, brother."
Zhou Qing told the truth.
"Haha, me too!"
Ning Hao is even more looking forward to it than Zhou Qing.
Unlike "Lost on Journey", this is a script written by Ning Hao himself!
If "Crazy Racing" can become as popular as the previous two movies, then Ning Hao can be said to have truly proved himself.
"Don't mess around when you're out there. Dad told you that I've chosen Yifei. Did you hear me?"
"Yifei, if this brat bullies you, just call me and I'll go to Beijing to deal with him."
"You two have to be good while you work hard out there."
After "hiding" Liu Yifei for five days, Zhou Qing began to return to the capital with Liu Yifei.
There is no other way. It is not a good thing for Liu Yifei to stay at home every day. She can't even go out for a long time. It will be suffocating.
What's more, the statutory holiday has arrived, and now Zhou Qing has to start working seriously.
Dad personally drove the two of them to the airport and even took Zhou Qing to give him some instructions.
Zhou Qing was so confused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, am I that kind of person? Ask Yifei if I have ever bullied her?"
"Uncle, Zhou Qing is very nice to me. He won't bully me. Usually I'm the one who bullies him."
Liu Yifei also said to her father immediately.
"It's okay for you to bully him, but if he dares to bully you, just tell me."
Dad spoke to Liu Yifei again firmly.
Liu Yifei couldn't help but wink at Zhou Qing proudly. Now, I have a backer.
When they arrived in Beijing, the first thing they did was to send Liu Yifei back to Liu Xiaoli.
"Zhou Qing, this silly child hasn't caused any trouble to your family, has he?"
Liu Xiaoli invited the two of them to come in and sit down, and this was the first thing she said.
"Mom~"
Liu Yifei's voice was drawn out, and her little face was also drawn out.
"How could that be, Auntie? My parents love Xixi so much that I even doubt if I'm their biological child."
Zhou Qing laughed on the side.
"That's good, I didn't cause you any trouble."
Liu Xiaoli also nodded and smiled gently, and her heart felt more relaxed than ever before.
Zhou Qing had already passed this hurdle, needless to say. Now that Xixi had also gone to Zhou Qing's home, the relationship between the two was settled.
To be honest, Liu Xiaoli did feel a lot more at ease.
Today, Zhou Qing's status and influence in the circle are increasing day by day, and he has become the most influential top director in the entire circle.
What’s even more rare is that Liu Xiaoli has been with Xixi for two and a half years, and has seen everything that happens to Xixi.
The other party really likes Sissi.
Under such circumstances, Liu Xiaoli naturally hopes that the relationship between the two will be as stable as possible.
After all, the entertainment industry is too deep and too complicated.
If Xixi doesn't hurry up and wait until Zhou Qing is snatched away by someone else, she will have no place to cry.
To be honest, looking at the entire entertainment industry, Liu Xiaoli really can't find a young person as outstanding as Zhou Qing.
Even Liu Xiaoli now wants to meet Zhou Qing's parents as soon as possible.
"You haven't eaten yet, wait a moment, I'll make you two delicious dishes."
After chatting for a while, Liu Xiaoli went to the kitchen excitedly to work.
The fact that Liu Xiaoli can cook herself shows that she is in a very good mood.
This was not the first time this had happened, so Zhou Qing no longer considered himself an outsider and enjoyed Liu Xiaoli's craftsmanship with peace of mind.
"Teacher, I'm here to wish you a happy new year!"
New Year's greetings are naturally indispensable. As Zhou Qing's current teacher, Tian Zhuangzhuang is Zhou Qing's first stop for New Year's greetings.
"Brother Luyang, you are here too."
What Zhou Qing didn't expect was that he met an old acquaintance here.
Lu Yang is also a graduate student under Tian Zhuangzhuang.
But as for Luyang, he actually graduated last year.
"I'm here to see the teacher."
When Lu Yang saw Zhou Qing again, his attitude became much more casual, not as reserved as at the beginning.
Mainly during my postgraduate studies, the two had some encounters.
Lu Yang also discovered that Zhou Qing's personality was actually quite easy-going, and he didn't have the airs of a top director at all.
"What have you been busy with recently, brother?"
The two of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and Zhou Qing asked casually.
"I'm just busy as hell. I can't compare to you."
Lu Yang smiled but didn't feel like saying anything.
After graduation, he served as executive director for a documentary and a digital film respectively. Naturally, he could not show off his achievements in front of a great director like Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing chatted with Lu Yang in a casual manner, but he was thinking about another question in his mind.
Should we release Lu Yang’s representative work “Embroidered Spring Knife”?
Frankly speaking, Zhou Qing’s desire was not that strong. After all, the box office of these two movies was not that high.
However, this does not mean that "The Blade of the Assassin" is not a good movie. On the contrary, the ratings of both "The Blade of the Assassin" are not low.
The main reason for the low box office is actually insufficient publicity, severe lack of exposure, and insufficient screenings.
Before its release, "The Blade of the Assassin" did not do any topical marketing at all, and even its roadshow only had four stops in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu.
Add to that the lineup of the male and female lead Zhang Zhen and Liu Shishi, how could theaters possibly take it seriously?
The screening schedule was only 3.62%, but the attendance rate during prime time was as high as 94.2%!
This is enough to show that there is actually market potential.
If Zhou Qing were to run it, the movie would be watched by the entire industry from the very beginning, and the exposure would be huge.
The box office shouldn’t be low by then.
"Let's see it."
Zhou Qing hasn't made up his mind yet.
Even if his analysis is correct, as a reborn person, he still has many movies with greater potential than "The Blade of the Assassin" in his mind.
Generally speaking, "The Blade of the Assassin" is not that attractive to Zhou Qing.
"Boss Han, I'm here to wish you a happy new year!"
The second stop is still Han Sanping's, needless to say.
Zhou Qing and Han Sanping had a few drinks and a good chat before returning to their studios.
"Happy New Year, everyone!"
"Happy New Year, Director Zhou!"
The atmosphere in the studio is still very warm.
Artists such as Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and Zhao Liying also all came back. Everyone gathered together to talk and laugh, it was very lively.
"Qingzi, have you seen those photos? This is too much!"
After Zhou Qing returned to the office, Huang Bo came in and said to Zhou Qing in a sly tone.
"What the hell? Who are you talking about?"
Zhou Qing was stunned by what Huang Bo said.
"You can find out by just looking online."
After Huang Bo said this, Zhou Qing's curiosity was really aroused.
I opened the portal and saw that this was the case.
Just like taking photos is risky, you need to be careful when repairing computers.
It's not a big deal to fix a computer, but it directly caught all the young generation of Hong Kong Island in one fell swoop. (End of this chapter)
