Chapter 269: "Heart Labyrinth" exploded again, director Zhou Qing's new film plan
"The first-day box office of 1100 million is very good."
"Congratulations, Luyang, your first shot has been a complete success!"
Zhou Qing Pictures, Zhou Qing had a smile on his face and gave Lu Yang his heartfelt praise and congratulations.
Zhou Qing expressed his satisfaction with the performance of "Heart Labyrinth"!
To be honest, the first-day box office of "The Maze" is really high.
You have to know that even in 09, there were not many movies that could make over million on the first day.
Looking at the movies that have achieved this, they are all blockbusters and big productions without exception.
Even some big productions find it very difficult to achieve this achievement.
For example, "The Forbidden Kingdom" only earned 1000 million on the first day.
For example, Stephen Chow's "CJ1200" only had a box office of million on the first day, slightly higher than "Labyrinth of the Heart".
So Lu Yang's first shot into the director industry was indeed a success.
"I didn't expect that Labyrinth of Heart would do so well at the box office."
As the director, Lu Yang's face was flushed with joy and even his eyes were sparkling.
It seemed as if he was walking on clouds, and his whole body felt light and airy.
The heart that was slightly hanging in the air before was now completely put back into my stomach.
It’s done!
My debut work is finally done!
After all, Lu Yang did not let Director Zhou down.
Lu Yang felt so relieved.
"That's great, Director Lu. I'm afraid the total box office of our movie 'Heart Labyrinth' will break 2 million!"
Huang Bo was also in an extremely happy mood, and began to look forward to it.
You should know that Stephen Chow’s "CJ2" had a slightly higher first-day box office, but the total box office exceeded million.
This was even when the reviews for "CJ7" were not very good.
And what about the movie written by Aoko?
The quality is always very high!
Naturally, it has more staying power than the mediocre "CJ7".
So theoretically speaking, "Maze of the Heart" really has the potential to break 2 million, and it's definitely not Huang Bo's random guessing.
It's just a pity that that's the general situation.
This is absolutely impossible during the August schedule this year.
Why?
There are also two Hollywood blockbusters in August.
They are "Up" released on August 8 and "G.I. Joe" released on August 4.
These two Hollywood blockbusters, both of which cost hundreds of millions of yuan, will definitely have a significant impact on "The Heart".
But even so, the box office of "The Maze" has exceeded 100 million, so we can still look forward to it.
"I don't dare to think about 2 million, but I think it's possible to exceed million."
Lu Yang calmed himself down and said this in a very restrained manner.
"Even if it breaks 100 million, it's still a top-tier box office! Director Lu, congratulations, you're going to be a big director soon."
Huang Bo patted Lu Yang's shoulder heavily, his excitement undiminished.
There are not many directors these days who can make movies that earn over 100 million yuan at the box office.
It is amazing that Lu Yang’s debut film could achieve such a stunning box office success!
Huang Bo believes that when the total box office of "Maze of the Heart" is announced, many people in the circle will be deeply stimulated by Lu Yang.
"Zhou Qing Pictures' "Heart Labyrinth" was released and achieved a good box office of 1100 million on the first day!"
"Zhou Qing Pictures has released another hit, "The Labyrinth of Heart" made a huge profit with a small amount of money, and it grossed 1100 million on the first day!"
"The low-budget movie "Heart Labyrinth" grossed 1100 million yuan on the first day, and the new director Lu Yang made a big splash!"
numb!
shocked!
The first day box office of "The Maze" was quickly revealed, which immediately excited everyone in the circle.
It was so exciting that I almost exploded.
Why is the box office of "The Heart Labyrinth" so high on the first day?
A full 1100!
You have to know that Lu Yang is just a new director, and "Maze of the Heart" is just his debut work!
It is also because of this that before "The Maze of Heart" was released, there were indeed many people in the circle who questioned "The Maze of Heart".
But the moment "The Maze of Heart" was released, all the doubts were dispelled.
Those doubters were given a hard slap in the face by "The Heart Labyrinth", a slap that was loud and clear.
"Heart Labyrinth" is a hit again!
Even though he is a new director, he still became a hit!
Just like Xue Xiaolu's "Love Is Not Blind".
So, isn't Director Zhou's vision a bit too outrageous?
Are those directors he discovered from the vast crowd really all hidden bosses?
Indeed, the popularity of "Maze of the Heart" is closely related to the screenwriter Zhou Qing and his unremitting promotion.
It can even be said that the relationship is even greater.
Because basically everyone who went into the cinema to watch "The Labyrinth of the Heart" went there for Zhou Qing.
At the same time, there is Huang Bo, a top-tier celebrity who also has a lot of fans, which has brought a lot of traffic to "Heart Labyrinth".
These are all important reasons for the success of "Heart Labyrinth".
But even so, if "The Heart Labyrinth" turns out to be a piece of shit, it will not be a success.
Lu Yang’s directing skills should also not be underestimated.
In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Director Zhou has produced another hit.
Looking at the movies produced by Zhou Qing Pictures, every one of them is a hit without exception.
Director Zhou is truly a “hit-making machine”!
Everyone in the entire circle looked at Zhou Qing with envy, jealousy and hatred, and their mentality was almost broken by the stimulation.
"Lu Yang's "Heart Labyrinth" is a hit, so my "Lone Agent" will definitely be a hit too!"
The success of "Maze of the Heart" also gave Wu Jing great confidence.
He is the only contracted director of Zhou Qing Pictures besides Lu Yang.
Not to mention that "The Man from Nowhere" and "The Heart" both had scripts written by Director Zhou.
Since other movies with the same operation have become hits, there is no reason why "The Man from Nowhere" won't be a hit!
Thinking of this, Wu Jing became extremely motivated.
I just felt like I was given an injection of chicken blood.
The box office performance of "The Maze" in the following days was also very encouraging, with the box office exceeding 1100 million every day.
In just three days, it earned 3500 million at the box office.
Unfortunately, on just the fourth day, with the release of "Up", the daily box office of "Inner Maze" dropped to 900 million.
On August 8, when "G.I. Joe" was released, "The Maze" was hit again, with the daily box office dropping to 7 million.
At this point, the situation is obvious. There is no chance that the total box office of "Maze" will exceed 2 million.
But there is really no problem in breaking 100 million.
Because despite the release of two Hollywood blockbusters, "Inner Maze" still earned 6400 million in the first week.
In other words, "The Maze" only needs to earn another 3600 million box office in the remaining three weeks or less than four weeks.
You can successfully achieve the achievement of breaking 100 million.
Judging from the current trend of "Heart Labyrinth", it is not difficult to achieve this at all, and it can even be said to be easy and enjoyable.
Because the reputation of "Heart Labyrinth" is really good, it still has a lot of staying power!
It has exceeded 100 million, there is no doubt about it.
Huayu’s billion-dollar director club will add one more person!
If some people were still on the sidelines when "The Maze" was first released, now that its potential has been fully revealed, no one doubts it anymore.
"Director Lu!"
"Director Lu!" Lu Yang's situation in the past two days has undergone a drastic change.
He, who was ignored before, suddenly became a hot commodity in the circle.
During the days since the release of "The Maze of Heart", countless producers, agents and celebrities in the circle have contacted me every day.
Some people are handing out scripts, some are building connections, and some are looking for filmmakers. The market is booming.
This made Lu Yang feel a little uncomfortable.
However, Lu Yang ruthlessly rejected all the opportunities and olive branches thrown by various parties.
He currently has another movie called "Hypnotist" on hand.
Even after "Hypnotist", Director Zhou promised to write a martial arts script for himself.
How could Lu Yang have the time to take on those outside films?
The schedule is already full!
What's more, how can any movie out there be as reliable as Director Zhou's?
Lu Yang didn't even consider it.
"You have produced another billionaire director. Beijing Film Academy should really thank you."
Liu Yifei saw all this and couldn't help but smile in front of Zhou Qing.
Speaking of it, Zhou Qing's contribution to Beijing Film Academy is really extraordinary.
How many great directors of Beijing Film Academy have Zhou Qing trained so far?
Ning Hao is one, Xue Xiaolu is one, and now we have to add Lu Yang.
In just a few years, Zhou Qing has trained three billion-yuan directors for the Beijing Film Academy, among whom Xue Xiaolu is a 2 million-yuan director.
Nowadays, whether you are a billion-dollar director or a 2 million-dollar director, you are very important in the circle!
Because looking at the entire circle, there are not many.
In this situation, Zhou Qing alone came up with 3.
So Liu Yifei was not exaggerating. Beijing Film Academy really needs to thank Zhou Qing, especially those in the directing department.
"I think this is possible, so the honors given to me by Beijing Film Academy are really worth it!"
Zhou Qing also nodded in agreement, without any modesty at all.
After all, what Liu Yifei said was all true.
And this is just now. If directors like Guo Fan, Wen Muye, Wu Ershan and others are discovered by Zhou Qing in the future.
Boy, that's really interesting.
It has become a Beijing Film Academy directors alliance.
As for Zhou Qing?
Although he is not the "leader" of this alliance, just by virtue of this support, his status in the circle will become more and more formidable.
Because Zhou Qing does not represent just one director, but a group of awesome directors!
"Not only did it not lose money, Nortel made a lot of money."
Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.
Among all the students of Beijing Film Academy, Zhou Qing is definitely the one who has contributed the most to Beijing Film Academy, no doubt about it.
"Also, didn't you say before that you would make a movie tailor-made for me? I've been waiting for it."
After chatting for a while, Liu Yifei straightened her face and urged Zhou Qing.
Counting the time, it has been a year since she signed with Zhou Qing Pictures.
Even if Liu Yifei had no utilitarianism, she would still be bored with nothing to do.
"Don't worry, I've always remembered it. I've already thought of the movie to prepare for you."
Zhou Qing pinched Liu Yifei's little face with his hand and said, "Next month, I will start writing the script."
It wasn't that Zhou Qing was fooling the girl, it was the real truth.
He has been thinking about what the next movie will be after he made the promise to Liu Yifei.
After searching through so many movies in his "film library", Zhou Qing did find a movie that was more suitable for Liu Yifei.
There are quite a few action scenes, so it might be a bit harder to shoot.
However, Liu Yifei has extremely rich experience in shooting action scenes, so I believe it should not be too difficult to handle.
"Really? Tell me quickly, what movie is it!"
Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly lit up and she shook Zhou Qing's arm.
"Female protagonist, action movie, superhero."
Zhou Qing deliberately kept the secret, revealing only a few key words and then keeping silent.
Liu Yifei felt itchy inside, as if a hundred claws were scratching her heart.
Action movies with female protagonists are already very rare, and there’s even a superhero in the film?
Isn’t this thing called superhero the “patent” of Hollywood blockbusters?
What about Batman, Iron Man, and Spider-Man? Aren’t these the ones we talk about?
In the entire Chinese entertainment industry, no one has ever made a superhero movie.
If what Zhou Qing said is true, then the superhero movie he promised Liu Yifei will be the first superhero movie.
Liu Yifei's anticipation was instantly filled, how could she remain calm?
"What kind of superhero? The Hollywood kind? Tell me more, Zhou Qing, reveal a little more..."
Liu Yifei held Zhou Qing's arm more and more and asked more questions.
"I want to know...then it depends on your performance."
However, Zhou Qing became arrogant, which made the girl want to hit him.
"Following 'Crazy Racing', Director Ning Hao is working on a new film 'No Man's Land', produced by Zhou Qing Pictures."
"The golden combination of Director Zhou Qing and Director Ning Hao has launched a new masterpiece "No Man's Land", and Huang Bo is suspected to be starring in it."
"Director Ning Hao's new film has been revealed, and China's first western road movie "No Man's Land" is about to start shooting."
Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" was in preparation for a while and was exposed by the media as expected.
It immediately attracted great attention from the entire circle.
You know, this is Ning Hao’s new movie!
Who is Ning Hao?
One "Lost on Journey" and two "Crazy" movies helped Ning Haoche gain a firm foothold.
Become one of the top directors in the industry.
Who can ignore a new film from a director like this?
Not to mention, this "No Man's Land" is still a movie produced by Zhou Qing Pictures.
The four words "Zhou Qing Pictures" are even more of a golden signboard!
So yes, even though "No Man's Land" is still in preparation, it has not yet started filming.
But everyone knows that another blockbuster movie has been born.
Like Xue Xiaolu’s “Beijing Meets Seattle”, it is a hit that has been booked in advance!
"Director Ning!"
"Director Ning!"
All of a sudden, Ning Hao's phone was also bombarded with calls.
As for Zhou Qing?
His usual style has long been known to people in the circle, and there are not many "nuisance calls" to Zhou Qing.
Everyone is more envious, jealous, and hateful of Zhou Qing, and they are jealous of him.
Director Zhou's actions are continuous.
It's "The Man from Nowhere", "Beijing Meets Seattle", and "No Man's Land".
We can’t forget the unfinished film “Ip Man 2”.
09 is only halfway through, and Zhou Qing Pictures has already released four films.
Each one is a hit that can be seen with the naked eye!
It's numb, really numb.
My colleagues in the industry were so jealous that they were almost blinded. (End of this chapter)
