Chapter 366 The IP era has arrived, Director Zhou is the king of copyright! Launch of "Detectiv
"Director Zhou, take care."
"Let's go back."
By the time everything that needed to be arranged was done, it was already March 3th.
Zhou Qing didn't delay too much and immediately boarded the plane back to Beijing.
Originally Liu Yifei wanted to rush to the airport to pick him up, but was rejected by Zhou Qing.
There is no other reason. Zhou Qing had just captured the little golden man not long ago and is currently at the center of public attention.
Whether it is Liu Yifei or Director Chen, these familiar faces are definitely the focus of media attention.
If the girl showed up at the airport, she would definitely be discovered.
Even Zhou Qing didn't ask Director Chen to pick him up at the airport, but just asked the other party to arrange a trustworthy stranger.
What about Zhou Qing’s own itinerary?
It is also strictly confidential and no information is leaked.
In this way, he escaped unharmed without alerting the media and quietly arrived at his luxurious villa.
"Where's the little golden man? Hurry up and show it to me!"
Liu Yifei, who had been waiting here for a long time, extended her hand to Zhou Qing as soon as they met.
"Little Golden Man, Little Golden Man, we haven't seen each other for more than three months, and now I'm talking about the Little Golden Man as soon as we meet."
Zhou Qing put down his backpack casually and couldn't help but complain.
"What do you have to see? Of course the little golden man is important."
Liu Yifei looked at Zhou Qing with a smile, which made her feel very righteous.
"Okay, Sissi, so you already dislike me? Then I'll leave?"
Zhou Qing patted his chest, looking heartbroken.
"Let's go, but before you go, leave the little golden man behind!"
Liu Yifei crossed her arms fearlessly and didn't fall for Zhou Qing's trick at all.
Snapped!
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Qing slapped the girl on her butt.
"I don't have anything to see, right? Little golden man, right? Let me go, right? You are rebelling, right?"
Every "right" was followed by a slap, very rhythmic.
"Zhou! Qing!"
Liu Yifei, filled with shame, pounced on Zhou Qing like a cat and fought back.
A shocking war thus began, with mountains collapsing, the earth splitting, and the sun and moon fading in comparison.
Needless to say, the result of the battle was obvious. How could a mere Liu Yifei be a match for Zhou Qing?
It ended in defeat and begging for mercy.
"Little Golden Man! This is the first Little Golden Man in Chinese entertainment."
At this time, Liu Yifei finally got the little golden man as she wished, and she couldn't put it down and played with it non-stop.
To be honest, the appearance of the little golden man is just so-so, not that great.
But in Liu Yifei's opinion, it is more beautiful than her own jewelry.
Maybe this is the bonus of the halo.
"Let me tell you a little-known fact. The so-called golden man is actually an alloy of copper, nickel and silver, with only a layer of gold plated on the outside."
"Strictly speaking, this thing doesn't deserve to be called a little golden man."
Zhou Qing casually asked Liu Yifei, "Don't you think the weight is wrong?"
"Is there still such a thing?"
Liu Yifei then picked up the little golden man and weighed it carefully, and found that it was true.
If it were a little more gold, it would definitely be much heavier than this.
"Really! Stingy Oscar."
The girl couldn't help but complain.
She also knew that these trophies could not be made of pure gold, but was it really a bit too much to only plate a layer of gold on the outermost layer?
For example, the Golden Bear Trophy has a gold content of 12% and a silver content of 32%.
However, no matter how much people complain, it can't change Liu Yifei's attitude.
The girl then excitedly took out her mobile phone to take pictures and posted them on Weibo.
"Here, the little golden man you want to see, I keep my word."
It was also accompanied by a very Versailles text.
"The Oscar statuette is really a statuette!"
"I envy Yifei, I also want to touch the little golden man!"
"That's awesome, Yifei. Director Zhou handed in the little golden man. Is this it?"
"Little Golden Man? Director Zhou is back?"
Weibo immediately became lively.
The topic of "Liu Yifei shows off her Oscar statuette" quickly became a hot search, which can only be described as an exaggeration.
Countless media also contacted us as soon as possible, wanting to conduct interviews.
After all, Zhou Qing is the first person to win an Oscar. Who can remain calm?
But Zhou Qing just wanted to have a good rest now, so he rejected them all.
Only after spending a few days with his sister did he return to Zhou Qing Pictures.
"Qingzi, where is the little golden man?"
"Yes, Director Zhou, where is the little golden man?"
Zhu Yawen, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and others also gathered around, and each one of them was as enthusiastic as Liu Yifei at that time.
"Isn't it just a little golden man? Look at all of you."
Zhou Qing shook his head pretentiously, then took out the little golden man.
Click, click, click!
Click, click, click!
The shutter sounds continued to ring out.
The first thing they did was to take photos and post them on Weibo to show off. They were all in unison.
Zhou Qing ignored the group of guys and went straight back to his office.
Although I haven't been here for three and a half months, the company has someone come to clean every day, so it is clean now.
"Director Zhou."
Director Chen was immediately called to Zhou Qing's office and reported some related work matters in detail.
You know what, there are quite a few important things in it.
"Last December, people from Shanying found me. They were interested in the novel Nirvana in Fire and wanted to adapt it into a TV series."
"In February this year, people from Ciwen Film and Television also found me. They wanted to adapt The Journey of Flower into a TV series."
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up immediately.
"Nirvana in Fire" and "The Journey of Flower" are both phenomenally popular TV series.
The most popular of all the popular products.
Especially "Nirvana in Fire", it is not just a hit, it also has a high score of 9.4 on Baidu.
It is considered by many to be a well-deserved masterpiece.
Compared to this, "The Journey of Flower" is just an ordinary and clichéd fantasy drama, but the score of 7.4 is not low.
Therefore, Zhou Qing has no plans to personally intervene in these two TV series and will leave it entirely to their original producers.
These are Shanying and Ciwen, who Director Chen just reported on.
"Nirvana in Fire can be produced by Shanying, but I have a requirement that it must be directed by Director Kong Sheng."
"As for the script, it must be adapted by Haiyan."
After a moment's hesitation, Zhou Qing gave these instructions to Director Chen, mainly to add an extra layer of insurance.
Kong Sheng and Haiyan are the cast members of "Langya Bang" in the original time and space.
Although Zhou Qing did not interfere with "Nirvana in Fire", and the original team should not change, Zhou Qing still thinks it is better to be cautious.
After all, he is going to Hollywood to produce "The Revenant" next, and he really doesn't have time to focus on these TV series.
"The Journey of Flower can also be produced, but Lin Yufen must be the chief director and Jiang Chenzhou must be the chief screenwriter." Zhou Qing still has the same requirements for "The Journey of Flower".
Of course, all of this is based on a big premise: Zhou Qingying is in full control.
Both Shanying and Ciwen must be co-producers.
It’s just like when I collaborated with Tangren on “Startling by Each Step”.
"Then... Director Zhou, do you have any requirements for the actors?"
Director Chen knew what was going on and asked Zhou Qing an important question.
It is only natural for a company to promote its own artists when it is producing a TV series that it controls, right?
"The Journey of Flower is starring Zhao Liying, but I believe that Magnetic Media will also choose Zhao Liying."
"As for other characters...we won't interfere."
After some thought, Zhou Qing gave this answer.
"The Journey of Flower" is Zhao Liying's representative work, which made Zhao Liying really famous in the original time and space.
At this moment, Zhou Qing naturally would not allow anything unexpected to happen. This movie would definitely allow Zhao Liying's status to rise to a higher level.
After all, although "Legend of Lu Zhen" starring Zhao Liying was a huge hit, "The Journey of Flower" was even more popular than "Legend of Lu Zhen".
But as for Zhu Yawen, Zhou Qing had no intention of forcing him into these two TV series.
To be honest, Zhu Yawen is not very suitable for playing ancient costume roles.
Whether it's Mei Changsu, Prince Jing, or Bai Zihua, those are not the styles that Zhu Yawen can handle.
Forcing Zhu Yawen to be promoted would simply be destroying the classic.
As for Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, there is even less to say.
It can be said that Zhu Yawen is not suitable for ancient costumes, but it would be a complete disaster if these two people acted out ancient costumes.
So apart from Zhao Liying, Zhou Qing didn't plan to insert anyone else in these two TV series.
However, if Shanying continues to develop "The Disguiser", Zhou Qing would consider letting Zhu Yawen play the male lead.
Compared to costume films and fantasy films, spy films are the most suitable for Zhu Yawen.
"Understood, Director Zhou."
Director Chen nodded and continued to talk to Zhou Qing, "Oh, and there's also Ghost Blows Out the Light..."
With the success of many adapted works such as "Tiny Times", "So Young", and "You Are the One", the concept of IP has been initially formed.
Even though it has not yet become popular, the adaptation craze has quietly swept the circle.
The best examples are that "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Journey of Flower" were targeted one after another.
As a horror-themed series, the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" has naturally been targeted by many producers.
However, Zhou Qing had no interest in finding out who was interested in "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
First of all, looking at the movies adapted from "Ghost Blows Out the Light", except for "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" starring Huang Bo, they were all a bunch of shit.
Secondly, Zhou Qing plans to shoot this top IP himself.
"Let's not talk about Ghost Blows Out the Light for now. I have no plans to release it for the time being."
Zhou Qing waved his hand and interrupted Director Chen.
It's not just "Ghost Blows Out the Light", the same is true for "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" which has the same theme.
Anyway, Zhou Qing will either do it himself or wait until a truly reliable team is found before considering it.
"I understand, Director Zhou."
Director Chen responded and continued to report other matters to Zhou Qing.
“Also, the finished film of ‘20 Again’ has been released.”
In fact, Liu Yifei had already told Zhou Qing about this matter, and Zhou Qing already knew about it.
But I was in Hollywood at the time and didn't have the time to watch movies.
Now, I can take some time to take a look.
As for the release date of "20 Again".
Zhou Qing had actually already thought about it a long time ago.
This year's summer blockbusters are packed with blockbusters, both domestic and Hollywood, and they are all a bit too intense.
In June, there were "Lost in Thailand" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" which grossed over 6 million yuan.
In July, there was a blockbuster movie called "Transformers 7" which grossed nearly 20 billion yuan.
In August, there were "The Breakup Guru" and "See You Tomorrow" with a box office of 8 million yuan each.
From this perspective, "20 Again" does not seem to be that competitive.
After all, the total box office of the film in the original time and space was only 3.5 million.
Therefore, based on the comprehensive analysis of all these situations, sending "Back to 20" to the National Day holiday is undoubtedly the best choice.
In the original time and space, there was only one strong movie in this period: "Lost in Thailand".
However, due to the changes caused by Zhou Qing's rebirth, "Lost in Thailand" had already been produced.
So there are no big blockbusters during this year's National Day holiday.
Let "20 Again" dominate the field.
The film has such a configuration with Zhou Qing as the screenwriter and Lu Yang as the director. In addition, the female lead Zhao Liying is now also a top-tier celebrity, much more famous than Yang Zishan in the original time and space.
Zhou Qing believes that the box office of "20 Again" will definitely not be bad.
"besides……"
After "Back to 20", Director Chen reported some other related matters to Zhou Qing.
For example, Wang Baoqiang’s contract expired this year, but Wang Baoqiang chose to renew his contract with the company.
The two parties have signed the contract, and Wang Baoqiang is still an artist of Zhou Qing Film and so on.
It took more than an hour in total, and Director Chen's throat was almost dry.
"Director Chen..."
Since then, Zhou Qing has also begun to tell Director Chen about his new film plan.
"Ip Man 4, Time Travelers and Nobody, you just need to find the right time."
"But as for Detective Chinatown, you can start preparing now. I want to start it as soon as possible."
"Also, contact Director Chen Sicheng. I plan to have him direct this film."
Zhou Qing casually gave instructions to Director Chen.
He had actually completed the script for "Detective Chinatown" at Crown Pictures.
However, I haven’t had time to write about “The Nameless One”, but that’s not a big problem.
Zhou Qing decided to write it before leaving for Hollywood. It would only take about 10 days, so it was not a difficult task.
"Chen Sicheng?"
Director Chen thought for a moment, but couldn't remember who this person was.
I immediately realized that this must be another new director.
After so many "cases" had been verified, Director Chen no longer had any doubts about Zhou Qing.
Even though Chen Sicheng is a new director, Director Chen believes that he must be a talented person.
We will definitely be able to make "Detective Chinatown" a good movie.
He took the order and went away in a hurry with full enthusiasm.
As for Zhou Qing himself?
Also caught up in the busyness.
The first thing is the preparation work for "The Revenant".
Although Zhou Qing is now in Beijing, it doesn't mean that he will completely let go of the affairs of "The Revenant".
In fact, although there is a dedicated producer, Zhou Qing still needs to make the final decision on all matters, big or small.
He has been remotely directing the relevant work.
In addition, there are some daily affairs at Zhou Qing Pictures and the script of "The Unknown".
A quick calculation shows that Zhou Qing will be quite busy in the days ahead. (End of this chapter)
