Chapter 268: The terrible destructive power of "Source Code" and the shocking first-day bo
"December is good, it's a good time."
“I believe that Director Zhou’s Source Code will definitely create a new box office legend.”
Wang Zhongjun's voice sounded, and after hearing it, he expressed high approval of Zhou Qing.
It was definitely not a lie, Wang Zhongjun really thought so in his heart.
Since "02 Hours" in 127, Zhou Qing has proved his strong ability with one hit movie after another.
Now, no one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry doubts this.
The same is true for Wang Zhongjun.
"I must go and see how science fiction films are made."
Deputy Chen Guo said with a smile, his words full of great curiosity.
What is a science fiction film that was completed in just one month like?
"Okay, it's about time, let's get started."
After all the nonsense, it’s time to start watching the movie.
Zhu Yawen's version of "The Sound of Wind" was played in front of Zhou Qing.
Although it is not the original leading actor Zhang Hanyu, it has to be said that it does not affect the quality of the film "The Sound of Wind" at all.
Zhu Yawen's performance in "The Sound of Wind" is actually quite remarkable.
In addition, his image and temperament are also in line with the role, and he interprets Captain Wu in a mature and fluent manner.
Zhou Qing nodded frequently from beginning to end.
This movie is done!
"It's very good. I knew that the films directed by Chen would be good."
Zhou Qing immediately gave a very positive praise.
Deputy Chen Guo and Wang Zhongjun both subconsciously smiled.
Being recognized by a director of Director Zhou's level is not something that just anyone can do.
"Director Han."
"Director Zhou."
After returning, Zhou Qing went to China Film Corporation and had a detailed chat with Han Sanping.
"December 12th, confirmed, that's the date?"
Han Sanping naturally had no objection to the release date of "Source Code", as the decision-making power was in Zhou Qing's hands.
What's more, there is nothing wrong with the choice of this schedule, so it is even less likely that Han Sanping would object.
"That's the time slot."
Zhou Qing gave an affirmative answer.
This matter was agreed upon so happily.
"Venice is only a few months away. Do you still plan to go this year?"
After talking about the schedule, Han Sanping asked this question again.
"Go, of course."
Zhou Qing nodded without thinking.
"Source Code" is a commercial film through and through, and he never thought about winning awards.
But Venice is also a good place to sell copyrights.
Zhou Qing's original plan was to go to Venice to sell the copyright of "Source Code".
"I think so too. Let's leave this matter to China Film Group."
Han Sanping agreed with a smile. In fact, he and Zhou Qing had the same idea.
Considering the copyrights of "Painted Skin" and "Now You See Me", which are also commercial films, Han Sanping is also very much looking forward to the copyright sales of "Source Code".
Zhou Qing was also looking forward to it.
"The sci-fi film Source Code, directed by Zhou Qing, is scheduled to be released in December. Director Zhou will once again be in the Lunar New Year season."
"Zhou Qing Pictures announced the release date of Source Code, aiming for the Lunar New Year holiday in December."
The release date of "Source Code" was announced soon afterwards.
The circle became lively.
"Source Code" is one of the most important blockbusters of the year, and no film producer dares to underestimate it.
So after "Source Code" was scheduled to be released, the filmmakers who had scheduled it for November and January next year couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough and I had the chance to watch Director Zhou’s “Source Code”.
There is no need to fight head-on with such a top blockbuster.
As for those film producers whose films are scheduled for December, the pressure suddenly mounted.
Among them, the producers of the two films "Storm Warriors 2" and "Mulan" announced the release dates soon after.
Was scared away!
Let everyone in the industry once again witness the terrifying fighting power of Director Zhou Qing.
On July 7, Hollywood's top blockbuster "Transformers 24" was released, and the total box office was immediately exposed.
A full 4.55 million!
Just as the industry had predicted, it undoubtedly broke through the 4 million mark.
It became another movie released by China Entertainment with a box office revenue of over 4 million yuan after "Now You See Me".
Not only that, "Transformers 2" also broke the record of 4.26 million set by "Now You See Me" in one fell swoop.
It became the highest-grossing film in the history of Chinese entertainment films.
A new record is truly born!
But no matter what, "Transformers 2" is a Hollywood blockbuster after all.
Therefore, the position of "Now You See Me" is still quite stable.
On the contrary, Zhou Qing's "Source Code" was brought out by many people for discussion and comparison.
In the industry's general perception, blockbusters like "Transformers 2" are serious science fiction films.
Director Zhou’s “Source Code” was completed in just one month. What will the film be like?
"These people are so idle, how can this be related to Source Code?"
Liu Yifei was speechless.
While reading the comments online, I responded to those posts that questioned and criticized "Source Code".
Zhou Qing watched from the side for a while and couldn't help but rub Liu Yifei's hair.
"Why bother with those people? If you reply even one word, you're just adding to their attention."
"The best way to deal with these people is to ignore them."
Zhou Qing smiled at Liu Yifei.
Of course, the best way is to ban it, but it’s a pity that this kind of thing can only be imagined, and it is impossible to do at present.
But after the launch of the old Sina Weibo, Zhou Qing had such authority to a certain extent, right?
I have the impression that the old Sina Weibo will be launched in August. It’s really exciting to think about it.
"Qingzi, you don't have any plans for the next two days, right?"
Huang Bo, who was out doing publicity, returned to the company exhausted. As soon as he raised his butt, Zhou Qing knew what he was going to do.
"The premiere of 'The Heart', right? I'll go this time."
I'm not too busy these days, Zhou Qing gave a very affirmative answer.
Huang Bo smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. Although he is a supporting role in "Heart Labyrinth", this film has multiple narrative lines and no real protagonist.
It is different from Ning Hao's two "Crazy" series of movies with the same multi-line narrative.
The Crazy series has an absolute protagonist, but "Heart Labyrinth" does not.
So Huang Bo’s role is also very important.
"By the way, has Senior Brother Ning Hao contacted you?"
Zhou Qing thought about the matter of "No Man's Land" and asked Huang Bo about it.
"I have contacted him. It's rare that Haozi still remembers me."
Huang Bo smiled at Zhou Qing.
Judging from the other party's tone, there is no doubt that he has taken on the role.
"The script of No Man's Land is very good, and your role is also a challenge for you."
Zhou Qing smiled and was quite expectant.
For Huang Bo, who has always been stuck in the "little guy circle", this time he plays a cold-blooded and ruthless killer, which can be considered a breakthrough.
Although Huang Bo does not have many roles in "No Man's Land", it is no exaggeration to say that he is definitely the biggest highlight of the entire film.
Huang Bo definitely deserves the chance to play this supporting role.
"You know what, I really want to try what it's like to play a killer."
Huang Bo nodded. He was also looking forward to this role.
"Director Lu, I wish "The Heart Labyrinth" a big box office success!"
“I wish “The Heart Labyrinth” a big box office success!”
On July 7, "Maze of the Heart" held its premiere at the Dahua Cinema on Dongcheng Street.
Although Director Lu Yang is still a newcomer in the circle and can be considered a younger brother, who can blame him for having a good boss?
Who said that "Maze of the Heart" is a work released by Zhou Qing Pictures?
Who said the screenwriter is director Zhou Qing?
In addition, Zhou Qing also appeared in person at the premiere, which made people in the circle dare not underestimate him.
Generally speaking, the scene was quite lively, and many big stars showed up to attend.
Even top-tier celebrities like Sidan and Shuangbing are half here.
Zhou Xun, who had worked with Zhou Qing many times, and Shuang Bing, who had always been quite enthusiastic about Zhou Qing, greeted Lu Yang warmly and politely.
"Director Lu, if there is a suitable role in the future, just give me a call."
Zhou Xun even specifically exchanged contact information with Lu Yang, and explained it to Lu Yang in a serious manner, and it seemed that he was not just being polite.
Zhou Xun sees it clearly.
Weren’t Ning Hao and Xue Xiaolu also new directors at the beginning?
Ye Weixin was a losing director in the beginning. He lost money on every movie he made.
As a result, after Zhou Qing found the right person, all the movies he made became huge hits, so there is no doubt about Director Zhou’s vision.
Since Director Zhou found Lu Yang and not only found him but also signed him, it shows that Lu Yang is definitely not an ordinary person.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Yang will definitely rise strongly through "Heart Labyrinth" just like the others.
So if not now, when will you make friends?
If you wait until the other side fires a shot, it will be too late!
It's not just Zhou Xun, Shuang Bing actually had the same idea, so he was very polite to Lu Yang.
In addition, other first-line male stars like Huang Xiaoming are the same and dare not neglect Lu Yang.
This made Lu Yang feel a little dizzy, and he almost couldn't react for a while.
He was originally an unknown person. Who would have thought that one day, so many top celebrities would come to admire him?
You have to know that people like Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming were superior to the original Lu Yang.
He is a big shot that Luyang can't even reach!
Now, these big guys, whom Luyang could only look up to, lowered their posture so low in front of him.
Lu Yang felt it was so unreal in his heart, just like a dream.
Of course, Lu Yang also understood that the reason those big guys were so polite to him was entirely out of respect for Director Zhou.
It actually doesn't have much to do with him.
So Lu Yang was secretly holding his breath in his heart. After "The Heart Labyrinth" is released, I will let you see my strength!
With Lu Yang thinking this way, all the miscellaneous procedures of the premiere were completed one after another.
Now we have come to the most critical part: film screening.
As the lights in the theater turned off, the big screen lit up immediately.
The story of "Heart Labyrinth" is told in the gazes:
The village chief's son Xiao Zongyao accidentally killed a village gangster named Awei and fled out of the village in fear.
But in the end, reason prevailed, and Xiao Zongyao decided to go back to the village to face it calmly and bear the consequences.
But when they returned to the village, they found that Awei was being buried. Everyone said that Awei had burned himself to death by burning corn stalks.
This first hook successfully captured the hearts of everyone in the theater.
Everyone wanted to know what happened during Xiao Zongyao's escape.
Why did the gangster who was beaten to death by him commit suicide?
And along with the charred corpse, one mysterious and bizarre thing after another happened one after another.
A lot of different characters are involved.
Multiple clues were intertwined and intertwined, and finally all gathered together through the charred corpse...
Everyone in the theater was subconsciously immersed in this wonderful story.
"Wonderful! So wonderful! It's very enjoyable and lingers on, and it's worthy of being Director Zhou's script!"
“The multi-line narrative is complex but not chaotic, it’s really wonderful!”
"Sure enough, you can always trust Director Zhou's script."
"Director Lu also did a great job. Although he's a newcomer, he's very experienced!"
By the time the film ended, such exclamations could be heard from all over the theater.
Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming and other people, as well as other audience members, all applauded vigorously at the same time.
I have to say, this movie is really good!
Just like "Lost on Journey" and "Love Is Not Blind" and other films written by Director Zhou, it is very exciting and makes people unable to stop watching!
Director Zhou once again showed everyone his top-notch screenwriting skills. The script is so brilliant and solid that it can be used as a textbook.
Although Lu Yang is a newcomer, his filming skills are very impressive and are absolutely above standard.
No wonder, no wonder Director Zhou values Lu Yang so much, it turns out Director Lu is really a rough diamond!
Zhou Qing's eyes were as vicious as ever!
call!
Seeing the extremely enthusiastic response at the scene, Lu Yang, Huang Bo, Zhou Yiwei and others all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
The movie is a good one and everyone loves to watch it. The box office of "The Inner Maze" must be good, right?
"Don't worry, among all the movies written by Qingzi, are there any that have bad box office?"
"Our "Heart Labyrinth" will definitely be a hit!"
Huang Bo spoke to Lu Yang, Zhou Yiwei and others in a very firm tone.
"Need I say more? Judging from the reaction at the scene, the box office will definitely be good!"
Wang Jinsong also nodded in agreement.
But in fact, they were far from being as calm as they appeared on the surface, and everyone was a little unsure.
After all, movies are highly unpredictable. Unless a movie is released in theaters and has solid box office results, it is a foregone conclusion.
Before that, everything is empty.
Even if Zhou Qing's films are all hits, no one can say with 100% certainty that "The Heart Labyrinth" will be a hit.
The reason why everyone appears to be so confident is, in fact, to a certain extent, a good wish.
However, when "The Maze" was officially released on August 8 and the first-day box office came out, everyone was finally relieved.
"The Labyrinth of Heart" is even more exciting than expected, with a box office of 1100 million! (End of this chapter)
