Chapter 364 Zhou Qing's new film "The Revenant", Director Zhou becomes the No. 1 dire
"Good, very good! Director Zhou never disappoints!"
Han Sanping's hearty and excited laughter spread far away from the office.
The Third Master was in a really good mood.
He felt as refreshed and proud as Zhou Qing.
"Life of Pi" won the Oscar for Best Director, which is a great achievement for Han Sanping!
Even if other people in China Film Group do the same as him in the future and invest in Zhou Qing to win the Oscar again.
That can't be compared with Han Sanping's current achievements.
Because "Life of Pi" is the first time, it is the first one!
No matter what happens, the first time is more precious.
Because it’s the first time, it’s a historic moment!
Thinking that this year is his last year in office and he will retire in the second half of the year, Han Sanping feels more and more emotional.
Zhou Qing really gave himself a great gift.
"Yes, Mr. Han, I didn't expect Director Zhou to win the Golden Globe Award!"
The secretary beside him was equally excited and full of indescribable admiration.
The secretary really admired Zhou Qing to the point of being completely overwhelmed.
Looking back at the Chinese entertainment industry over the years, so many top talents have tried to win an Oscar, but no one has ever succeeded.
For Chinese entertainment, the Oscars have always been an unconquered peak.
But what about Director Zhou?
The first time we charged at it, we reached the top in one fell swoop!
It's simply awesome.
"Yes, the best thing I have done since joining China Film Group is to invest in Director Zhou, right?"
Han Sanping let out a long sigh, feeling indescribably proud.
Looking back to the time when Zhou Qing made his mark in "127 Hours", I immediately showed goodwill to him.
Tied it to the chariot of the Chinese film.
Although Zhou Qing made a big splash at that time, no one expected that he would become so awesome in the future!
Not only did it sweep across the entire Chinese entertainment industry, it also broke out of the Chinese entertainment industry and rushed into the international arena.
He became the first serious international director in Chinese entertainment.
Now that I think about it, my vision is really amazing!
Relying on the great god Zhou Qing, Han Sanping really enjoyed a period of glory in China Film. It is no exaggeration to say that he was radiant.
The achievements he has made are unmatched in the entire history of Chinese film!
So many big three trophies, so many record-breaking box office, and now even the Oscars, which they have never conquered before...
Good guy.
No matter how many years pass, his name, Han Sanping, will always be the most dazzling one in China Film!
And all this started when I called Zhou Qing to my office.
It was that decision made at that time that made Han Sanping achieve his current success.
Han Sanping also knew that the entire China Film Corporation had talked about it behind his back more than once, saying that his uncle was lucky to have met Zhou Qing.
Not only was Han Sanping not angry, he was also proud of it.
Isn't this saying that Han Sanping has a keen eye and the ability to judge people?
Han Sanping never denied that his greatest achievement was discovering the talented director Zhou Qing!
"By the way, how is the box office of Life of Pi?"
After feeling proud for a while, Han Sanping remembered something and asked his secretary.
"Director Han, the daily box office of Life of Pi has experienced a sharp decline, and the number of people buying tickets to the cinema has increased several times."
"Tickets for Life of Pi are hard to come by again now!"
The secretary reported to Han Sanping with great interest, his eyes shining.
It is only the beginning of March now, and there is still a full half month before "Life of Pi" is released.
With the momentum of "Life of Pi" winning the Oscar, its box office will definitely increase significantly.
Breaking the record of "Your Name" is definitely a piece of cake.
In other words, the movie "Life of Pi", which was produced with the participation of China Film Group, not only won an Oscar, but also won the box office champion in film history!
At the same time, the film was a huge hit at the global box office.
As of this period, leaving aside the box office in domestic entertainment, the global box office of "Life of Pi" has reached 5 million US dollars!
Please note that this is still within the public screening period and has not been taken off the screen.
By the time "Life of Pi" is completely taken off the screen, the total box office will definitely be more than this.
So, the current data of "Life of Pi" is really explosive.
An explosion in all aspects!
When Han Sanping heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Congratulations to Director Zhou for winning the Oscar!"
"Congratulations to Director Zhou for winning the Oscar!"
After the Oscars came to an end, Zhou Qing declined all the invitations to parties and cocktail parties and went straight back to Crown Pictures.
Director Yang personally brought all the Crown Pictures staff to express the warmest welcome to Zhou Qing.
On everyone's face, there was a smile that came from the heart.
Although Zhou Qing’s Best Director Award has nothing to do with them directly, Zhou Qing is the boss of Crown Pictures.
"Life of Pi" is a movie controlled by Crown Pictures!
Therefore, the great success of "Life of Pi" also has a huge bonus effect on Crown Pictures.
The little golden man Zhou Qing won this time is enough to take Crown Pictures' status in the industry to a higher level.
Who can not be happy?
"We are all happy. This award is also inseparable from your support. Thank you all for your hard work."
Zhou Qing naturally responded warmly and politely.
"Director Zhou, good news."
"Life of Pi's North American box office has seen a significant increase, and the same is true for the mainland box office."
"In addition, box office revenues around the world have increased to varying degrees."
After the hustle and bustle, Director Yang and Zhou Qing came to the office and reported some relevant situations to Zhou Qing.
"not bad."
Zhou Qing nodded, and was very satisfied with this.
In the original time and space, the global box office of "Life of Pi" was only 6 million US dollars, but what about now?
It is possible to break 7 million!
When this happens, the most powerful force is of course the box office in mainland China.
You should know that "Life of Pi" originally sold less than 6 million RMB in mainland China, but now it has exceeded 12 billion RMB.
That's equivalent to doubling it.
It’s a direct increase of 100 million US dollars!
Awesome, really awesome.
"Zhou Qing, the country is in an uproar right now. You've caused an earthquake!"
Liu Yifei called shortly afterwards, and her voice sounded extremely excited.
Speaking of Liu Yifei now, she is definitely the biggest beneficiary besides Zhou Qing.
After all, the girl is Zhou Qing’s “official match”!
Before Zhou Qing won the Oscar, he had already helped Liu Yifei become the "International Liu".
This time, wouldn’t he be able to go straight to the sky?
From now on, the person standing behind Liu Yifei is an Oscar-winning director.
"Liu Yifei is such a lucky guy."
"Director Zhou won an Oscar. No one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry can compete with Liu Yifei anymore."
"Is Liu Yifei going to heaven now?"
The entire circle is filled with similar voices.
Liu Yifei once again became the most envied, jealous and hated woman in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, bar none. The same was true for the artists under Zhou Qing Pictures.
Huang Bo, Zhu Yawen, Wang Baoqiang and others.
He instantly became the most eye-catching and enviable star in the circle.
Why don’t I have such luck to be noticed and signed by Director Zhou?
"You don't know, now everyone calls you 'the No. 1 director in Chinese entertainment'."
"Now the company is surrounded by reporters, and even our homes and Beijing Film Academy are the same."
"By the way, when will you come back? Everyone is waiting to touch the little golden man. What does it feel like?"
The girl excitedly introduced the situation in the domestic entertainment industry to Zhou Qing.
To put it simply, it can be described by the word "explosive".
Zhou Qing was not surprised by this.
Given how rare the Oscars are in the Chinese entertainment industry, it is not surprising that he could cause such a stir.
But if he wanted to go back to the capital... Zhou Qing felt that he would need to delay for a while.
Without him.
Zhou Qing needs to work out a 14-year film plan first.
You should know that because of the filming of "Life of Pi", Zhou Qing hasn't released a new film in 13!
So Zhou Qing will definitely make a movie this year.
In addition, there are the new film plans of Zhou Qing Pictures and Crown Pictures.
So why should this plan be carried out at Crown Pictures instead of returning to Zhou Qing Pictures?
It’s simple. Zhou Qing included "The Revenant" in the list of candidate new films.
If Zhou Qing decides to shoot "The Revenant", then he needs to start immediately and enter the preparation stage.
Otherwise, it won’t be in time for next year’s Oscars.
Of course, if we don’t shoot “The Revenant”, there’s no need to be so anxious.
He can go back and think about it slowly.
So the key lies in this "The Revenant".
So will "The Revenant" be filmed or not?
Zhou Qing made a decision after careful consideration.
shoot!
The movie "The Revenant" is the most important film project of Crown Pictures this year.
Of course, a sequel to "The Hunger Games" will also be developed at the same time.
These two films are Crown Pictures’ mission this year.
So what about Zhou Qing Pictures?
Zhou Qing also made a corresponding plan.
The first one must be "Ip Man 4" which failed to be filmed last year.
Ye Weixin said that he has time to shoot "Ip Man 4" this year.
Another one is "Time Raiders", I wonder if Xue Xiaolu has time.
But it doesn’t matter if there is no time, Zhou Qing can just hand the film over to Lu Yang.
Anyway, Lu Yang is a versatile person who can handle a variety of subjects, so filming a movie like "Time Raiders" is no problem at all.
But what if Xue Xiaolu has time to shoot "Time Raiders"?
Zhou Qing naturally had to prepare a new movie for Lu Yang.
what movie?
A classic film with huge potential and both box office and critical success: "Nobody".
The film was released in 18 with a mere cost of 3000 million yuan, but it eventually grossed 7.94 million yuan at the box office.
It can no longer be called a dark horse, but a dark horse among dark horses.
What is even more rare?
"Nobody" has a high score of 8.0 on a certain platform, and its reputation is quite strong.
As a person who has been reborn, Zhou Qing naturally would not want to miss out on such an extremely high-quality film project.
What about Wu Jing, another director under Zhou Qing Pictures?
Well, Wu Jing will spend the entire year in the Jinling Military Region, so naturally it cannot be arranged.
As for "Wolf Warrior", production will only begin next year.
But apart from these films, Zhou Qing values another film the most.
"Detective Chinatown".
That’s right, Zhou Qing plans to produce this famous film this year.
As one of the most famous film series in Chinese entertainment, almost everyone is familiar with it, so there is no need to say more.
The first film had a cost of 8000 million yuan and eventually grossed 8.23 million yuan at the box office, which surprised many people at the time.
The rating on Douban is as high as 7.7 points, which is really high to be honest.
Like "Nobody", it is one of the most high-quality and successful film examples.
However, compared with "Nobody", "Detective Chinatown 3" has another huge advantage.
This is a series!
It is also one of the most successful and representative series in the history of Chinese entertainment.
The first part was just a hit, but the second and third parts were truly explosive!
The box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" reached 33.97 billion yuan, and the box office of "Detective Chinatown 3" reached an astonishing 45 billion yuan!
Looking at the entire history of Chinese entertainment films, how many films have managed to achieve a box office of over 40 billion yuan?
There is no way Zhou Qing would miss such a movie.
Otherwise you will really regret it for the rest of your life.
"Director Yang."
After making a plan, Zhou Qing called Director Yang over without hesitation.
"Just make the sequel to The Hunger Games as usual. I believe that with the experience of the first one, there won't be any problems with the second one."
"Compared to this, the most important film project of Crown Pictures is another one."
“The Revenant.”
The Revenant?
Director Yang's eyes immediately lit up.
All the scripts Zhou Qing registered with the union were handled by Director Yang, so Director Yang had read the script of "The Revenant".
He keenly judged that this movie was also an award-winning film!
So, is Director Zhou going for an Oscar again?
Haha, good news, very good news!
Director Yang was very excited.
If Director Zhou Qing wins another Oscar, his position in Hollywood will become even more secure.
He is definitely one of the top super directors and world-class directors in Hollywood.
So what about Crown Pictures?
It produced three Oscar-winning films: Gravity, Life of Pi, and The Revenant.
Naturally, its status and influence in Hollywood are becoming more and more incomparable.
By then, even if it can't reach the level of the Hollywood Big Eight, it should be the top one under their sequence, right?
Director Yang is still very much looking forward to this.
"Yes, it's The Revenant. I want you to start production immediately."
"My plan is to start filming in May. There can be no delay."
Zhou Qing casually gave instructions to Director Yang.
The filming will start in May, wrap up in August, and the finished film will be released in November, which will make it in time for next year's Oscars.
Of course, two months of preparation time may seem a bit short.
But for a reborn person like Zhou Qing, this is actually more than enough.
After all, he already knew a lot of things in advance, so he could just follow the instructions, which would save a lot of time. (End of this chapter)
