Chapter 323: The identity of the Crown Pictures CEO is exposed! Director Zhou is the public enemy of

Zhou Qing was generally relieved that the work on Painted Skin 2 was handed over to Wu Ershan.

Even though the opponent is just a newcomer at this stage, Zhou Qing, as a reborn person, knows Wu Ershan's abilities.

The other party does have the ability to direct "Painted Skin 2".

In addition, Zhou Qing specially optimized the script of "Painted Skin 2", which is much better than the original "Painted Skin 2".

At the very least, its quality is in no way worse than the first one.

Therefore, Zhou Qing is still very confident that he can make "Painted Skin 2" a masterpiece again.

He then handed the project over to Wu Ershan with peace of mind, and continued to work on the post-production of "Your Name".

It is now October and this work is nearing completion.

According to the current progress, it will probably be completed in about ten days.

Zhou Qing is still looking forward to this.

"Director Zhou, the budget for Painted Skin 2 has been prepared."

After working for a few days, the assistant reported this matter to Zhou Qing.

The total cost of "Painted Skin 2" is about 1.2 million yuan.

"I see."

After understanding the situation, Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment and then sent the assistant away.

For projects like "Painted Skin 2", we will definitely continue to bring together China Film Wanda and Fiber Optic.

First, the pie is indeed not small. Second, for safety reasons, it is more solid to bring the entire industry chain on board.

However, as for the specific time to divide the cake, Zhou Qing plans to do it on the day when "Your Name" is released.

We just happened to watch the movie together, so why not?
After consulting with Han Sanping, Ye Ning, and Wang Changtian, it was natural that none of the parties had any objections, and they all agreed happily.

"Director Ning Hao's new film "Lost in Thailand" has started filming. It is another collaboration between Ning Hao and his old partner Huang Bo."

"Ning Hao, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng teamed up again to start filming the road comedy "Heart Flower Road"."

"The romantic film "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" directed by Xue Xiaolu has finished filming, Zu Feng and Yang Rong took a sweet photo together."

"The filming of "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" has been completed, and Zu Feng has started a new life."

Just as October began, Zhou Qing Pictures has once again made its presence felt in the industry.

The first is the start of filming of "Lost in Thailand", co-produced with Bad Monkey.

This is another long work by Ning Hao after "No Man's Land", and the entire circle has paid close attention to it.

You should know that Ning Hao is now a well-known top director in the circle.

Since his debut with "Crazy Stone", every film he has made has been a great success both at the box office and in terms of reputation, without exception.

One can imagine the level of support a director of this caliber will face in the industry if he makes a new film.

What's more, this "Lost in Thailand" is another collaboration between Ning Hao, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng.

These three people have worked together in the "Crazy Series" and "No Man's Land" successively. They have a great chemistry and the audience really likes it.

The combination of these three people is also affectionately called the "Iron Triangle".

The fact that the three of them have joined forces again this time has added to the anticipation.

Considering all these factors, there is no doubt that "Lost in Thailand" will most likely be another hit.

In addition, Xue Xiaolu's "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" has also been completed.

Needless to say, this movie is also a heavyweight film project that has long been highly concerned by the entire industry.

Just like "Lost in Thailand", it is sure to be a hit.

So if we do a simple calculation, it’s only October and Zhou Qing Pictures has already released 10 movies in a row?

"No Mercy", "Knife of the Assassin", "Heart Flower Road", "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" and "Painted Skin 2"!
Among them, "No Mercy" has been released and has grossed 5.6 million yuan at the box office, which is indeed a super hit.

Although the other four films are still in production, it is obvious that they will become big hits.

hiss!
This is too perverted!
Many people gasped.

You have to know that in the current Chinese entertainment film market, there are only a few blockbuster movies throughout the year?

Is Zhou Qing Pictures going to occupy half of the market again?

Just like last year and the year before?
Damn it, Director Zhou, does he want other people to live?

As always, the name Zhou Qing has once again become the object of envy, jealousy and hatred for countless people.

If Zhou Qing did not have an extraordinary status in the circle now, being both an investor and a core figure in the "Director Zhou Circle".

At the same time, it has a close relationship with China Film Group, and has strong relationships with publicity and theaters, so every aspect from beginning to end is impeccable.

There is no doubt that many people must have done something unkind to Zhou Qing.

After all, the cake in the circle is only so big, if Zhou Qing eats one more bite, others will have one less bite.

With Zhou Qing making money at such a fast pace, it's impossible for him not to be hated.

Every one of those colleagues in the circle would be envious, jealous and hateful of Zhou Qing.

But unfortunately, Zhou Qing has now grown into a big boss with complete power.

It's not something that anyone can do by just playing some small tricks.

"Director Zhou, the basic framework of Painted Skin 2 has been put together. Is it time to start casting now?"

Wu Ershan, who was immersed in the preparation of "Painted Skin 2", came to Zhou Qing again to seek Zhou Qing's advice.

In fact, Wu Ershan should make the decision on this matter himself, after all, he is the director of "Painted Skin 2".

However, Wu Ershan still has that many credits, knowing that in the "Painted Skin 2" project, Director Zhou is definitely the real king.

Although Zhou Qing gave Wu Ershan a high degree of freedom and almost never asked about specific matters, he showed a high degree of trust in Wu Ershan.

But Wu Ershan still reported every detail to Zhou Qing.

This is especially true when it comes to the casting issue. Who knows whether Zhou Qing has been chosen as the actor?

You should know that Zhou Qing Pictures has contracted artists.

Facts have also proved that Wu Ershan made the right decision this time, and Zhou Qing had no objection to starting the casting.

But Zhou Qing does have some ideas about the selection of some actors.

First of all, the three main actors, Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun and Hu Jun, must remain consistent with the first part and use the original cast.

Wu Ershan naturally agreed with this point.

Although "Painted Skin 2" is a brand new story, the identities of everyone except Xiao Wei have changed.

But as for a sequel, of course it’s better if the original crew keeps it together, there’s nothing to say about that.

In addition, for the role of the Sparrow Spirit, Zhou Qing also specifically designated Zhao Liying to play it.

Wu Ershan was not surprised by this. Of course, Zhou Qing Pictures would give priority to using its own artists in the films it released.

However, Director Zhou did not specify any other roles, but gave them all to Wu Ershan, asking Wu Ershan to make the decision himself.

Wu Ershan also understood that other artists of Zhou Qing Pictures, such as Huang Bo, Zhu Yawen, Wang Baoqiang, etc., were all top-tier celebrities.

I'm afraid I don't even look down on some of the supporting roles in "Painted Skin 2".

This means that Wu Shaner can really choose actors from outside Zhou Qing Pictures according to his own wishes.

"Okay, that's it, get busy."

After Wu Ershan left, Zhou Qing continued to work on the post-production of "Your Name".

In fact, at this time, most of the post-production work has been completed, with only the final bit left.

Zhou Qing stayed with the post-production team and completed all the post-production work in just three days.

The finished film of "Your Name" is finally out.

"It looks great. It's so beautiful, Zhou Qing. It's even more beautiful than I thought!" Liu Yifei was the first one to review the results. She has been working very hard on the post-production side these days.

As soon as the film came out, I watched it with Zhou Qing and was immediately conquered by the film "Your Name".

Even though Liu Yifei was the lead actress and was fascinated by the script beforehand, she didn't expect the finished film to be so good.

The girl's eyes became red again after seeing this.

"If even you are moved, then I feel relieved."

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded, and was quite satisfied with the final result.

If even the main creator can be impressed, then impressing others will be a piece of cake.

Zhou Qing is increasingly optimistic about the prospects of "Your Name".

He didn't hesitate any longer and immediately contacted Han Sanping, Ye Ning and others to arrange the specific details of the film viewing.

"Director Zhou."

"Director Han, President Ye, and President Wang, please come in."

Just three days later, several bigwigs in the industry coordinated their time and joined Zhou Qing Pictures.

Watch the movie with great interest.

"As expected of Director Zhou, he always makes films that wow people."

"Director Zhou's movies are as breathtaking as ever."

"It's done, Director Zhou's movie is a success again!"

The result is unquestionable, everyone unanimously gave "Your Name" high praise and evaluation.

Of course, it is not false courtesy, but admiration from the heart.

After all, "Your Name" is indeed very well filmed.

Whether it is Han Sanping, Ye Ning or Wang Changtian, they all have great confidence and expectations in "Your Name".

Everyone agrees that this is another billion-dollar super hit.

"I have already contacted some familiar film producers, and I can invite them to come and watch the film one after another."

Han Sanping also talked about this matter specifically, with a gleam in his eyes.

Han Sanping is also very optimistic about the sale of the copyright of "Your Name".

You should know that since Director Zhou made his debut, the copyrights of his films have always sold very well.

"I have also contacted a lot of film producers, so I will be very busy in the next month."

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Your Name" is scheduled to be released on November 11th, and it is already October 15th.

There is still one month left at most.

That means he and Han Sanping must sell "Your Name" within one month.

Considering that this work has actually started a long time ago, the only thing left is the final step of watching the film.

So this isn’t really a big problem.

"We've been waiting for so many years for the sequel to Painted Skin, and now it's finally here."

After talking about "Your Name", the three parties became excited and couldn't wait to talk about "Painted Skin 2".

In the eyes of these companies, the potential of "Painted Skin 2" is no less than that of "Your Name".

It is another super blockbuster film project that has the potential to break 10 billion.

Whether it is Han Sanping, Ye Ning or Wang Changtian, they all attach great importance to "Painted Skin 2".

"The budget for Painted Skin 2 is 1.2 million yuan, and Zhou Qing Pictures will keep a 50% share."

Zhou Qing's voice rang out immediately, interrupting the thoughts of Han Sanping and others.

Everyone had expected this and was not surprised.

After all, in the previous collaborations, Zhou Qing Pictures also retained half of the share. This is Director Zhou’s style.

None of the companies thought about taking more shares from Zhou Qing, but the three parties began to fight fiercely back and forth.

Hope to get more market share from the other two companies.

But unfortunately, the final result did not change much.

In the end, China Film Group took 20%, while Wanda and Fiber Optic each took 15%, the same as the previous two times.

The cake of "Painted Skin 2" was divided up so happily.

Afterwards, Ye Ning and Wang Changtian both said goodbye and left, but Han Sanping stayed alone.

He looked at Zhou Qing with a different look, which made Zhou Qing feel a little uneasy.

"Boss Han, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you playing tricks on me?"

Zhou Qing urged Han Sanping while muttering to himself.

Han Sanping is obviously in trouble.

I just don’t know what is going on?

I have finished watching the movie "Your Name" and the cake of "Painted Skin 2" has been divided. What else can I do?

"Director Zhou, you hid it so well that you gave me a big scare."

Han Sanping pointed at Zhou Qing, shaking his head and sighing.

"Boss Han, can't you just put it clearly?"

Zhou Qing became more and more confused.

"Hollywood's famous Crown Pictures is actually your company, and you didn't tell anyone, not even me!"

"You are amazing, Director Zhou. You have made a name for yourself in Hollywood!"

When Han Sanping said this, he looked at Zhou Qing with a hint of admiration unconsciously.

Cow ratio!

It’s really awesome!

Even with Han Sanping's status and position, he couldn't help but bow down to Zhou Qing and almost prostrated himself on the ground.

It doesn’t matter if the script sells well in Hollywood. Director Zhou has already opened his company in Hollywood.

It is not just an ordinary small company, but a new company that has produced several blockbuster movies in succession.

All three "Twilight" movies have been big sellers around the world, and the recently released "Lucy" is also a big hit.

It's simply unparalleled!
Looking at this impressive record, no one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry has ever achieved this.

Director Zhou is the first one.

The well-deserved number one!
Over the years, Hollywood has been reaping the benefits of domestic entertainment. There has really been no one like Zhou Qing who went to Hollywood to make a fortune.

Director Zhou is awesome.

Han Sanping almost shouted out loud again.

"Boss Han, you know everything?"

Zhou Qing looked at Han Sanping with a little surprise.

He really didn't expect that his identity as the CEO of Crown Pictures was exposed.

Although there is no impenetrable wall in the world, Zhou Qing knew that this day would come sooner or later.

But now I am also a little curious, how did Han Sanping know? (End of this chapter)
