Chapter 241 Director Zhou messes up the entertainment industry again. Director Zhou wants to make a science fiction film
Among the several scripts, the first one Zhou Qing started writing was "Heart Labyrinth".

Firstly, Lu Yang had indeed been waiting for a long time, and Zhou Qing didn't want to leave Lu Yang alone any longer.

Secondly, "Ip Man" is currently in theaters, so even if "Ip Man 2" is released first, it will not be used for the time being.

The same goes for "Beijing Meets Seattle", and even "Love Is Not Blind" hasn't been released yet.

So it was natural to create "Maze of the Heart" first.

The entire creative process went very smoothly. After all, the high score of 8.8 on Douban already represents excellent quality.

Zhou Qing can just copy the script directly without any optimization.

In addition, "The Labyrinth of Heart" itself is a Chinese script and also does not need to be translated into Chinese.

The progress is naturally rapid.

In just one week, the complete script of "The Heart Labyrinth" was released.

"Have you finished writing the script?"

The first person to know about this was Liu Yifei, and the girl sat down in front of Zhou Qing with great interest.

There's nothing you can do about it. It's Liu Yifei's fault for always treating Zhou Qing's office as her own backyard.

He often comes to Zhou Qing whenever he has time.

Anyway, Huang Bo and Zhu Yawen both knew about her relationship with Zhou Qing, so Liu Yifei simply didn't bother to hide it.

As for Wang Baoqiang, he looks very honest and I don't think he would say nonsense.

“I have finished writing ‘The Heart Labyrinth’, but I still have to continue writing other scripts.”

Zhou Qing naturally wouldn't hide it from Liu Yifei.

His task for the next month was very clear, which was to write scripts, all kinds of scripts.

"Really? Let me see it quickly."

Liu Yifei couldn't wait to urge Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing smiled gently and handed the script he had just completed to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei immediately opened it impatiently and was soon completely immersed in it.

"What's up with your brain? How many good things are there in it?"

After reading it in one breath, Liu Yifei couldn't help but look at Zhou Qing with worshipful eyes, with nothing but admiration.

Only Zhou Qing could come up with such an ingenious story, right?
If there was no role suitable for her, Liu Yifei would definitely have planned to play it.

“That’s called talent.”

Zhou Qing raised his head proudly and showed off in front of Liu Yifei.

"Yes, yes, you are the best, okay."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes in front of Zhou Qing.

“Is this your graduation project?”

After a pause, Liu Yifei looked at Zhou Qing and asked.

"It's not appropriate for me to shoot a script like this now. This is what I wrote for Lu Yang to shoot."

Zhou Qing explained to Liu Yifei.

Luyang?

Liu Yifei suddenly realized that this was the new director signed by Zhou Qing.

Yes, it seems that the cost of playing "Heart Labyrinth" is very low, and it is indeed very suitable for newcomers to practice.

"Have you decided on your graduation project? What do you plan to shoot?"

Liu Yifei nodded in agreement and then asked again.

"There's an idea for a science fiction movie that I think is great."

Zhou Qing revealed it to Liu Yifei mysteriously.

Sci-fi movies?

It can be said that Liu Yifei's appetite was completely whetted.

After all, looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry these days, there is no director making science fiction films.

For people in the industry, science fiction movies mean Hollywood blockbusters!
"Science fiction? Really? You're planning on making a science fiction movie? What kind of movie? Didn't you say a small-scale movie?"

Liu Yifei asked a series of questions one after another.

"I haven't decided whether to shoot it yet, let's talk about it when the time comes."

However, Zhou Qing kept the secret in front of the girl.

"Director Zhou, have you finished writing the script for me?"

Lu Yang was called over by Zhou Qing shortly afterwards, and he looked at Zhou Qing eagerly.

Zhou Qing didn't say anything, he just took out the script of "Heart Labyrinth" and slapped it in front of the other party.

"Heart maze?"

Just the name aroused Lu Yang's great interest.

"Director Zhou, let me read it first."

After greeting Zhou Qing, Lu Yang began to read the script with great interest and was soon attracted by the wonderful story.

It was as if I had entered the world of the script, unaware of the passage of time.

"Wonderful, Director Zhou, this script is really wonderful!"

It was not until half an hour later that Lu Yang began to slap his thigh excitedly.

I just felt that the boiling blood in my body could no longer be suppressed.

Such an exquisite book is worth his long wait.

Lu Yang felt that he was filled with endless energy and he couldn't wait to shoot the book immediately.

"As long as you like it."

Seeing Lu Yang's excitement, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I like it very much."

Lu Yang agreed again and again, urging him impatiently, "Director Zhou, I don't want to wait any longer, I want to shoot it right away."

"Of course, I will introduce you to the producer I worked with before. Once the budget is made, the funds will be in place immediately."

"Luyang, you can do something big now."

Zhou Qing said to Lu Yang with a smile.

"Thank you Director Zhou, I will do my best and won't let you down!"

Lu Yang patted his chest so hard that it made a loud noise, he was so passionate.

"By the way, Director Zhou, I'm planning to ask Huang Bo to play the role of Wang Baoshan. What do you think?"

After exchanging a few more words with Zhou Qing, Lu Yang couldn't help but start asking Zhou Qing questions.

He couldn't wait to start thinking about the casting issues.

Huang Bo?

Zhou Qing nodded secretly in his heart.

For Huang Bo, there would be no problem at all in playing a middle-aged rural man who has an affair with someone else.

The only question is whether Huang Bo is willing to act.

After all, the cost of "The Heart Labyrinth" is too low, and it has multiple narrative lines without an absolute protagonist.

The role of Wang Baoshan is just an important supporting role.

With Huang Bo's current status, he may not necessarily be interested in it.

"If you have this idea, you can go and talk to Huang Bo yourself."

Zhou Qing didn't say much, just told Lu Yang this.

"Okay, I'll go ask Huang Bo now. He happens to be here today."

Lu Yang greeted Zhou Qing and started working in a hurry.

As for Zhou Qing?

Just continue to create "Ip Man 2".

However, Zhou Qing needs to optimize the script of "Ip Man 2" a little bit.

The score on Douban is 7.4, which is not low, but there is still a certain gap compared to the 1 points of "Ip Man 7.8".

Since Zhou Qing is going to make a series, he naturally hopes that each film in the series will maintain the same high quality.

Therefore, the creation of "Ip Man 2" will definitely not be as fast as "Maze of the Heart".

On August 8, "Ip Man", which had a strong presence in the circle, was taken off the screen, and the total box office reached 30 million.

The film and television companies, the big stars, and the directors in the industry are all completely paralyzed.

"Ip Man" is a hit again!
If you count carefully, how many of Director Zhou’s movies have become hits this year?

The movie he directed, "Now You See Me", was a huge hit, breaking the record in the history of Chinese-language films and becoming the highest box office record holder.

Even the movies he produced were all huge hits!
The recently released "Crazy Racing" grossed 1.6 million at the box office, and now this time, "Ip Man" also made 1.65 million?
Director Zhou, can you leave some room for others to survive?

How come any random release can become a huge hit with box office revenue of over 100 million yuan?
How many movies from Chinese entertainment companies have grossed over 100 million yuan these days?

Director Zhou acts like he doesn't care about money. He always succeeds in making a success and he can make hundreds of millions every time?

This is a bit too exaggerated!
"1.65 million! That's great! Mr. Huang, I never thought the box office of Ip Man would be so high!"

Director Ye Weixin was so excited that his body almost trembled, and he couldn't keep calm in front of Wong Pak Ming.

Can you stay calm?
The box office of "Ip Man" exceeded that of Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly".

Who is Feng Xiaogang?
One of the top directors in mainland China!

Although he ranks last among the great directors Zhang, Zhou, Chen and Feng, he is also a figure standing at the top of the pyramid when looking at the entire circle.

Ye Weixin never dared to believe that one day his movie would be able to defeat Feng Xiaogang.

Of course, Ye Weixin also understood that the box office success of "Ip Man" was not due to him.

The most fundamental factor is all because of Zhou Qing.

I was just taking advantage of Zhou Qing's help.

But no matter what, I am the director of "Ip Man"!

It is an indisputable fact that Yip Wai-shing made a comeback with the movie "Ip Man".

"Yes, Wei Xin, I really want to congratulate you on the high box office of Ip Man."

Huang Baiming sent his heartfelt blessings to Ye Weixin.

At the same time, I couldn't help but secretly sigh that Director Zhou's appeal was really terrifying. I must hold on to Director Zhou's thigh tightly in the future.

"1.65 million, not bad."

Zhou Qing's reaction was much calmer.

A movie that originally had a box office of 9000 million yuan, but with its own branding, it reached 1.65 million yuan. There is nothing wrong with that and it is reasonable.

Considering Zhou Qing's current level, this box office can no longer move Zhou Qing at all.

Even in Zhou Qing's plan, "Ip Man 1" was just a prelude.

What Zhou Qing is really interested in is the follow-up movie of "Ip Man".

You should know that "Ip Man 2" had a box office of 2.3 million yuan in the original time and space.

So what kind of box office miracle can be created through your own operations?
Zhou Qing is looking forward to this.

I became more and more enthusiastic about writing the script for "Ip Man 2".

"Director Zhou, Ip Man is holding a celebration banquet the day after tomorrow. You are the biggest contributor, so please don't be absent."

Zhou Qing's creation was interrupted by a call from director Ye Weixin, who sincerely invited Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing readily agreed.

Since the movie he produced was a big hit, it was only natural for Zhou Qing to be there to celebrate.

By the way, I also took this opportunity to chat with Yip Wai-sin about "Ip Man 2".

So Zhou Qing didn't delay and met up with Ye Weixin on time on September 9rd.

“I plan to continue developing the second part of Ip Man.”

After a brief greeting, Zhou Qing told Ye Weixin his plan directly.

"Good, this is good!"

Ye Weixin's eyes lit up immediately and he nodded rapidly in agreement.

"Ip Man" had such a high box office and its fame has spread far and wide, so it must have accumulated a lot of fans.

If we develop "Ip Man 2" on this basis, as long as it doesn't fail, the box office will definitely double.

And is it possible that Director Zhou’s script is bad?

Of course not!
Another super hit is waving at you!

"Director Zhou, I can assure you that I will do my best to make Ip Man 2 the best it can be. It will definitely not be worse than the first one."

Ye Weixin immediately made a solemn promise to Zhou Qing.

"Of course I trust Director Ye. I am currently writing the script and it will be completed around the 12th."

"Director Ye can spare some time to visit me, and we can discuss it in detail then."

Zhou Qing invited Ye Weixin.

"How about I go over on the 15th?"

"can."

This matter was agreed upon so happily.

After returning to the studio, Zhou Qing continued to create "Ip Man 2". Two days later, Cao Baoping called again.

It turned out that the film "Li Mi's Conjecture" was released, and the other party invited Zhou Qing to go and watch the film.

In order to be responsible for the film he produced, Zhou Qing had to interrupt the writing of the script and meet with Cao Baoping.

The movie was just as I expected, there was nothing wrong with it.

Cao Baoping's level is still trustworthy.

Lu Yang has already met with Producer Zhang introduced by Zhou Qing.

After detailed discussions between the two parties, they officially started the preparation work for "Heart Maze".

Director Lu Yang couldn't wait to start casting.

"Qingzi, do you think I should take the role of Wang Baoshan or not?"

Huang Bo even came to ask Zhou Qing for his opinion. It was obvious that Lu Yang had already talked to Huang Bo.

"It's up to you. It was Luyang who thought you were suitable, not me who recommended you."

Zhou Qing spread his hands and told the truth.

Huang Bo fell into deep thought.

Frankly speaking, Huang Bo doesn't think much of this play.

After all, the director is a newcomer, the film's budget is very low, and the character is not the protagonist.

However, after some hesitation, Huang Bo finally made a decision.

"Then I'll take it."

He said this to Zhou Qing.

Although "The Heart Labyrinth" has all the shortcomings mentioned above, I have to say that the script is really damn good.

Huang Bo was completely moved.

What's more, although Lu Yang is a new director, since Qingzi values ​​him, he must be quite capable.

What is the most important thing?
So far, all the movies produced and written exclusively by Qingzi have been high-quality hits.

So "Heart Labyrinth" also has unlimited potential.

In addition, there are no better acting offers at the moment, so it is not impossible for him to play an important supporting role in such a film with unlimited potential.

The first role of "Heart Labyrinth" was confirmed.

As for the other roles, Lu Yang also began to arrange auditions in Zhou Qing's studio.

However, Zhou Qing was busy creating "Ip Man 2" and had no time to pay attention to it.

Because it requires a certain degree of optimization, the progress of "Ip Man 2" is indeed a little slower.

But just as Zhou Qing expected, it was completed on the 12th.

"Not bad. The reputation of Ip Man 2 will definitely be better than the original."

After checking it one last time, Zhou Qing couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"Director Zhou, I'm going to join the crew."

Wang Baoqiang knocked on Zhou Qing's office door and told Zhou Qing the news.

Zhou Qing suddenly realized that the filming of "My Brother is Shunliu" was about to start without him noticing.

This is also a hit TV series, which is of great benefit to Wang Baoqiang.

You have to know that these days, TV dramas are the magic weapon to increase national popularity.

After all, watching TV series is free, and they are broadcasted every half a month or a month.

Wouldn’t that presence be so noticeable?
There is no doubt that after the broadcast of "My Brother is Shunliu", Wang Baoqiang's popularity will definitely increase significantly.
