Chapter 319: "Unforgiven" grossed 56 billion, "Your Name" wrapped up

Chapter 319: "Unforgiven" grossed 56 billion, "Your Name" wrapped up

The box office performance of "No Mercy" in the next few days did not surprise Zhou Qing.

It's only about five or six million a day, and it's obviously impossible to save it all.

Zhou Qing didn't take it too seriously and continued filming "Your Name" as if nothing had happened.

"Director Zhou."

During this period, Director Yang called and reported something to Zhou Qing.

The post-production of "Lucy" has been completed and the finished film has been released.

The other party asked Zhou Qing if he wanted to go to Crown Pictures to watch a movie.

Zhou Qing is currently busy filming "Your Name", so he naturally doesn't have the time.

What's more, Luc Besson is an internationally renowned director who has produced countless excellent films.

Zhou Qing had already known the cast of "Lucy", including the female lead Scarlett Johansson, and important supporting actors Morgan Freeman and Choi Min-sik.

It is exactly the same as the original "Lucy", there is no difference, after all, it is directed by the same director.

Therefore, Zhou Qing is relatively confident about the quality of the final film "Lucy".

So what about waiting until after filming "Your Name" before going to watch the movie?
It's too late in time.

"Lucy" is scheduled to be released on August 8. In other words, intensive promotion will begin immediately.

You can't just say that it has already entered the promotion and marketing stage and then make changes to the film, right?
That is impossible.

If Zhou Qing wants to watch a movie, he has to go and watch it right away, otherwise it will be too late.

Unless Zhou Qing postpones the release date.

But considering the actual situation, Zhou Qing felt that there was no need for this at all.

"I believe in the ability of director Luc Besson. I will not participate in the film screening. You can do whatever you want with the subsequent process. You don't need to report to me."

Zhou Qing gave Director Yang these instructions.

"clear."

“How’s the filming of Gravity going?”

Zhou Qing also asked about the situation of "Gravity".

Now that the finished film of "Lucy" has been released, "Gravity" is the film project that Zhou Qing is most concerned about.

"We have already finished filming most of Gravity and it will probably be finished next month."

Director Yang reported truthfully.

Zhou Qing knew the answer to this question.

After communicating with Director Yang about some other relevant matters, the two parties ended the call.

The filming of "Your Name" is nearing its end, and the whole movie has reached its biggest climax.

The comet that destroyed the heroine's town finally came!
But the heroine has been exchanging bodies with the future hero, so she already knew this extremely tragic future.

Naturally, they would not sit idly by and watch such a thing happen, but would use all their skills to deal with this crisis.

"All units, prepare."

"start!"

There were no shots of the male lead Zhou Qing in this scene, so Zhou Qing took over the directing baton from the executive director.

Sitting back in front of the monitor, I have to say, this feels much better than acting.

Zhou Qing’s previous words were not meant to fool the media and the public. Compared to actors, he really likes directors more.

It is also because of this that, unless it is some particularly exciting role that touches Zhou Qing, he generally will not "come out".

"Run, everyone, run! There's a fire!"

"There's a fire, everyone get out of here!"

Liu Yifei's voice broke Zhou Qing's thoughts, and he saw the girl and several extras running and shouting in the crowd.

His face was filled with endless worry and anxiety.

Because tonight, a comet in the sky will drop some fragments and destroy the entire town.

The entire town will die in this disaster, and no one will be spared.

The only way is to move everyone in the town into the shelter so that they can save their lives.

This is also the reason why Liu Yifei lied about the fire.

"Wait a moment."

But as she was running, Liu Yifei suddenly froze, and tears unconsciously welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"What's wrong with you, Xinxin?"

Liu Yifei's friends looked at her in surprise and confusion.

"me……"

Liu Yifei shook her head vigorously, as if she was racking her brain to think hard.

But no matter how hard I tried, my mind went blank.

"I can't remember the man's name!"

Liu Yifei went crazy and was so anxious that she couldn't stop crying.

This kind of thing has happened many times. After each time she traveled through time, she would forget the other person's name.

But this time is different. Liu Yifei knows that this is the last time she will exchange bodies with the male protagonist.

What’s even worse is that Liu Yifei has also fallen in love with the male lead.

So she secretly swore in her heart that she would never forget the hero's name this time.

However...she still forgot.

"Crack!"

"Pass!"

Behind the monitor, Zhou Qing couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

After many adjustments by herself, Liu Yifei's acting skills have improved significantly compared to the original time and space.

Although he can't be said to be talented or have good acting skills, but for a general commercial film, at least he doesn't let down.

There will be no disruption to the performance due to acting skills.

This professional ability is definitely enough to make it in the entertainment industry.

Zhou Qing was very pleased about this.

"Director Wu Jing's action film "No Mercy" was a huge hit at the box office, closing with a stunning box office of 5.7 million yuan."

"After The Man from Nowhere, Wu Jing brought another blockbuster, Unforgiven, with a total box office of 5.7 million!"

"Wu Jing and Wang Baoqiang's "Unforgiven" set the summer season on fire, with a box office of 5.7 million yuan, setting a new record for action crime films."

On August 8, "No Mercy," arguably the most eye-catching domestic film of the summer, was released, with a total box office of 1 million yuan.

I was shocked.

The entire circle was deeply shocked once again.

That’s 5 million!

Although it is not as high as the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Aftershock" which totaled more than 6 million yuan.

But to be honest, looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, it is enough to dazzle people.

After all, if we count on our fingers the many Chinese entertainment films in the industry, how many of them can reach this level of box office?

There is no need to say much about those ordinary directors, even the top directors standing at the top of the Chinese entertainment pyramid, Zhang Chen Feng.

Just look at these three people.

Apart from Feng Xiaogang who achieved results beyond "No Mercy" with "Aftershock", what about the other two great directors?

Neither Zhang Guoshi nor Chen Shishi has ever achieved a box office of 5 million!
So it’s true that Wu Jing’s “No Mercy” really surpassed even Master Zhang and Poet Chen.

Although we cannot conclude that Wu Jing has surpassed Zhang and Chen, it would be a bit funny to say that Wu Jing has caught up with them.

But it is an indisputable fact that the box office of "No Mercy" was indeed explosive.

If the original "The Man from Nowhere" made Wu Jing a sensation and completely turned his life around, then this "No Mercy" almost made Wu Jing a god. After this "No Mercy", Wu Jing will become a heavyweight director who stands at the top of the circle.

The kind of director that countless first-line stars need to look up to and lick his ass.

Needless to say, Zhou Qing was extremely happy to have such a director under his company.

As far as the entire Chinese entertainment environment is concerned, it has always been director-centered, and the director's influence in the circle is unparalleled.

Especially top directors like Xue Xiaolu and Wu Jing, who have directed movies with box office revenue of 500 to 600 million yuan.

That kind of terrible influence is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

Although Lu Yang and Ning Hao's individual films haven't had such explosive box office success yet, everyone knows that this is a matter of time.

After all, with the support of Zhou Qing Pictures, this is a natural thing.

Therefore, no one dares to underestimate these two people.

And these directors were all promoted by Zhou Qing.

In the eyes of everyone in the circle, they are all branded with the indelible mark of Zhou Qing.

He is definitely a director from "Director Zhou's circle".

As we all know, there are different circles in the entertainment industry, such as the "Beijing circle" and the "Northwest circle".

Some circles have extremely huge influence, and every move can have a great impact and change the fate of countless actors.

Today, the "Director Zhou Circle" formed by several top directors will undoubtedly be the most influential circle.

It is a cheat-level circle that is difficult to reach and compare with any other circle.

So yes, Zhou Qing's current status in the Chinese entertainment industry has really reached an extremely exaggerated level.

"All units, prepare."

"Executive clearing!"

"start!"

On the third day after "Unforgiven" was taken off the screen, "Your Name" finally had its last shot.

Although the heroine successfully saved her town, she eventually completely forgot about the hero.

She just had a vague feeling that she seemed to have forgotten something very important.

But I can never remember what exactly I forgot.

Even if it was like this for many years afterwards.

What about the male protagonist?
the same alsp.

He also didn't remember the heroine at all, and didn't remember that it was his reminder that saved the heroine's town from being destroyed.

He just had an instinct, or a hunch, and was always subconsciously looking for something.

But the male protagonist himself doesn't know what he is looking for.

He lived in a daze every day like a walking corpse, and passed the heroine countless times without even noticing it.

Until one day, he passed by the heroine again.

"Excuse me, please wait a moment, I seem to have seen you somewhere before!"

Zhou Qing called out to Liu Yifei and shouted at her back.

Liu Yifei's body trembled immediately, and she turned her head unconsciously to look at Zhou Qing, her eyes already a little red.

"I, I feel the same way..."

After saying this, Liu Yifei was already in tears.

She remembered!
She remembered everything, including Zhou Qing's name.

The same thing happened to Zhou Qing sitting opposite him. The moment their eyes met, he also remembered.

"Your name is..."

The two looked at each other lovingly and spoke in unison.

"Crack!"

Zhou Qing switched from being an actor to being a director and personally checked and confirmed this final shot.

"Now I declare that the filming of Your Name has been completed!"

After confirming that there was no problem, Zhou Qing immediately announced the news to everyone.

Wow!
There was a sudden burst of warm applause at the scene.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement and happy smiles.

"Your Name", which was expected to be a big hit, has finally become a hit, so everyone feels proud of it.

In fact, big directors like Zhou Qing, and many big-budget films, all like to hold wrap-up press conferences.

Just like the "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" that Liu Yifei finished filming before.

But Zhou Qing has never had this habit.

We have been working hard on the filming for two months, so it would be nice to just eat and drink together and relax.

Anyway, the films shot by Zhou Qing are the most popular and well-known in the industry, so there is no need to use the wrap-up press conference to hype them up.

The same is true for "Your Name".

Zhou Qing simply prepared a sumptuous banquet in a similar hotel nearby.

There was no other fancy stuff.

"Director Zhou."

"Yifei."

During the entire banquet, Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei were the undisputed core figures, and were crazily surrounded by everyone in front of and behind the stage.

It is true that Zhou Qing is a director, but Liu Yifei is also a top-tier celebrity and a contracted artist of Zhou Qing Pictures.

It is naturally impossible to be neglected.

Not to mention how Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei talked and got along with each other during the filming of "Your Name", everyone saw it.

No one is blind!

Although both Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei paid special attention to this issue and did not deliberately act too intimate.

But there are many things that are revealed inadvertently.

Especially after filming together for such a long period of two months, all the traces accumulated and became more noticeable.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense and vision knows that the "Zhou Liu love" that has been hyped many times in the circle is not groundless.
It's obvious that something's wrong with these two.

And if the rumors between the two are true, Liu Yifei's status will be even more different.

Therefore, everyone's attitude towards Liu Yifei has become more enthusiastic.

"By the way, Director Zhou, Director Xue's Beijing Meets Seattle 2 is still casting, right?"

After a while of eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, someone couldn't help but ask this question.

Although everyone knows that "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" will definitely have the original crew of the first part.

But since I can't play the leading role, playing a supporting role is also good.

After all, the male and female protagonists in the first part were together in the end, so it must be a brand new story.

This is a brand new story that is different from the first one and revolves around the "confinement center".

This means that most of the supporting characters in the first film will most likely not appear again.

In other words, "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" will require a large number of new supporting roles.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could anyone be willing to miss it?

"Teacher Xue is in charge of the casting for Beijing Meets Seattle 2. If you are really interested, you can try to contact Teacher Xue."

Zhou Qing spread his hands and gave this answer.

No one at the scene was surprised by this.

Not interfering with other directors' casting is Director Zhou's consistent style. (End of this chapter)
