Chapter 396: "Dying to Survive" Completed, Zhou Qing Films' Average Hanging Rate
"1.7 million, isn't that too much, Qingzi?"
On the set of "Dying to Survive", Huang Bo couldn't help but gasp.
You should know that Huang Bo has starred in more than one billion-level box office movie, and Zhou Qing Pictures has produced many billion-level movies.
But even for those billion-level movies, the box office on the first day is only 10 to million, or even to million.
The highest was "Life of Pi" directed by Zhou Qing, which only grossed over 100 million on the first day.
But this "Monster Hunt" is nearly 2 million?
What a joke!
With such an exaggerated first-day box office, what would the total box office be?
Could it be 20 billion?
hiss!
When he thought of this, Huang Bo really couldn't keep calm.
Although with the booming film market, it is only a matter of time before the box office breaks 20 billion, but it won’t break it now, right?
You should know that the current box office record holder for Chinese-language films is "Your Name" with 14 billion.
The range from 15 billion to 19 billion is still blank!
The span can't be that big, right?
Although the total box office of "Monster Hunt" has not yet been released, Huang Bo has already been greatly stimulated.
Originally, he thought that he was quite powerful as the "double billion male protagonist" and that he would be able to stay in the circle for quite some time.
But now?
Huang Bo immediately felt a huge sense of crisis.
"Yeah, movies nowadays are so exciting, I can't slack off."
Zhou Qing also sighed out loud, and it was absolutely from the heart.
The momentum of "Monster Hunt" amazed even him, a reborn person.
Fortunately, no matter how good "Monster Hunt" is, it is not as good as "Dying to Survive" which he is currently filming.
It is true that "Monster Hunt" will bring a great shock to the circle, but I believe that when "Dying to Survive" is released, it will shock people again.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing subconsciously became full of energy and even looked forward to that day.
"Okay, cheer up and get ready for the next shot!"
Putting aside all those messy thoughts, Zhou Qing threw himself back into the filming of "Dying to Survive".
Now as the filming progresses, the progress bar of "Dying to Survive" has basically been completed.
The overall shooting has entered its final stage, with only one day left to complete it all.
The filming was completed on the 18th as Zhou Qing had planned, without any problems at all.
It is also worth mentioning that all the interior scenes have been shot, and all that remains are some exterior scenes.
What is being filmed now is an important scene in the entire movie: Cheng Yong is arrested.
In fact, Cheng Yong had encountered risks when selling drugs before and was targeted by the police.
But that time it was Huangmao who stepped forward and drove a truck carrying medicine to attract the attention of the police.
He eventually got rid of Cheng Yong's suspicion, but he also died in a car accident, which was considered as a disaster for Cheng Yong.
Cheng Yong deeply experienced the risks of this industry.
But this did not deter Cheng Yong, and he continued to secretly sell generic drugs.
But if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
This time, it is finally Cheng Yong's turn.
"start!"
In the dark night, Cheng Yong was busy unloading goods with a group of people.
bang.
But suddenly a car behind turned on its headlights and shone towards us, accompanied by several majestic voices.
"Police! Everybody, don't move!"
Huang Bo's body tensed up immediately, his face solemn; the police had arrived.
"What are you still standing there for? Run!"
Huang Bo immediately shouted to the patients who were helping to unload the goods.
The crowd immediately fled in all directions, but Huang Bo was quite loyal and did not run away with them.
Instead, he got into a van, and after some maneuvers, placed the van across the narrow road, completely blocking the way.
This way, it would be impossible for the police to catch up with the others.
But what about Cheng Yong?
Naturally, there is no escape.
"Get out of the car and hurry up!"
"Hold your head with your hands!"
A group of police officers surrounded Huang Bo, forced him to the ground and handcuffed him.
"Crack!"
"Pass!"
"That's all for today, we'll call it a day and continue tomorrow!"
After filming this scene, there were actually only two scenes left in the entire movie.
One scene is when Cheng Yong is escorted to prison after being sentenced, and the patients who have been saved by Cheng Yong gather on the road to see him off.
The other scene is when Cheng Yong is released from prison, and his brother-in-law Zhou Yiwei comes to pick him up from prison.
Except for the first scene which required the use of a large number of extras, the rest of the scenes were child's play for Zhou Qing.
But even so, the two scenes were shot in just one morning.
"Now I declare that the filming of 'Dying to Survive' has been completed!"
As the last shot ended, Zhou Qing loudly announced the news to everyone.
"It's done!"
"It's done!"
There was immediate cheers and applause from the audience.
Needless to say, Zhou Qing had people prepare for the wrap-up banquet in advance.
After a brief rest, all the crew members of "Dying to Survive" rushed to the booked hotel.
"Senior Brother Zhou Qing!"
As the screenwriter of "Dying to Survive", Han Jianuo was naturally present at the event.
Even on the last day of filming, Han Jianv was still on the set watching Zhou Qing filming.
Seeing that her work was finally filmed by Zhou Qing, Han Jianu was extremely excited.
She is looking forward to the earlier release of "Dying to Survive" more than anyone else here.
This is Han Jianu's first work.
"Lady, come on, let's go in."
Zhou Qing greeted Han Jianu with a smile, then took Han Jianu across the hall and into the private room.
"Director Zhou."
"Director Zhou."
Everyone inside stood up at once and greeted Zhou Qing enthusiastically.
"Sit down, everyone sit down."
Zhou Qing waved to everyone casually, and then sat down in the main seat surrounded by the crowd.
"Director Zhou."
"Writer Han."
Without a doubt, the two of them immediately became the absolute core of the entire wrap-up party.
I was like the moon surrounded by stars, with people drinking and chatting with each other, it was so lively.
"A beautiful lady."
After a while of excitement, Zhou Qing put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Han Jianu beside him.
"Director Zhou, what's the matter?"
Han Jianu responded immediately.
Although she always called him "Senior Brother Zhou Qing" in private, she was very sensible and called him "Director Zhou" in public.
"Dying to Survive has been filmed now, and post-production won't take long. My plan is to release it during the Lunar New Year holiday this year. What do you think?"
Zhou Qing looked around and spoke to Han Jianu in a slightly lowered voice.
In fact, things like release schedules generally do not need to be discussed with the screenwriter, even if the screenwriter is Han Jianuo.
The main reason why Zhou Qing mentioned this to Han Jianu was for that purpose: to give her a preventive measure.
Because the film is still subject to censorship after it is finished. If it is blocked again during this period, wouldn’t that be a disaster?
Although Han Jianuo had helped before and didn't encounter any problems, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Who can say for sure until the movie actually hits theaters?
It would be fine if everything goes well, but if any problems really arise, I'm afraid Han Jianu will have to step in.
Han Jianu is not stupid and understands what Zhou Qing means.
She immediately vowed that if something really happened she would once again use her secret weapon, her cheap dad.
Zhou Qing was completely relieved.
Of course, from a theoretical point of view, Zhou Qing actually thinks that the possibility of problems is not great.
After all, it’s that same group of people who review the films in the Film Bureau.
Han Jianu has already established good connections, so that's enough. She won't come back and find fault with it, right?
It's nothing more than a safe bet.
"Director Zhou Qing has wrapped up filming of 'Dying to Survive', and screenwriter Han Jianu shared her feelings about writing the script at the wrap party."
"This year's most anticipated new film, Dying to Survive, has wrapped up filming, marking Zhou Qing's return to Chinese entertainment."
"Dying to Survive has wrapped up filming, with Zhou Qing and Huang Bo teaming up again after many years, attracting a lot of attention."
The completion of "Dying to Survive" has undoubtedly attracted great attention in the industry.
In any case, this is a movie directed by Director Zhou Qing himself.
This is also director Zhou Qing’s first work after returning to Chinese entertainment in three years.
It is naturally full of gimmicks and full of popularity.
Although different from previous films directed by Director Zhou Qing, the screenwriter of "Dying to Survive" is not Director Zhou, but someone else.
But with Director Zhou's vision, he certainly wouldn't accept just any script, right?
Since Director Zhou still chose to film "Dying to Survive", it means that the script must be up to standard.
Taking all these factors into consideration, people in the industry are generally looking forward to Zhou Qing's "Dying to Survive".
"Sissi."
"Zhou Qing."
After the filming of the movie was completed, Zhou Qing did not immediately start working on the post-production, but instead reunited with Liu Yifei first.
There is only one month left until their wedding.
Zhou Qing was still able to distinguish between what was more important and what was less important.
So during this month, Zhou Qing's task was clear: prepare for the wedding, then work.
During the post-production of "Dying to Survive", there were also some daily affairs of Zhou Qing Pictures, and of course they did not just ignore them all.
Instead, just take time to deal with it during the preparations for the wedding.
Anyway, the scale of "Dying to Survive" is not large, so the time required for post-production will not be too long.
It's completely possible to arrive in time without any delay.
"Zhou Qing, these are some procedures developed by the wedding team. I have made some suggestions. Do you have any other comments?"
After a simple repair, Liu Yifei also enthusiastically discussed business with Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing glanced at her casually, then patted the girl's head: "Xixi's opinion is my opinion."
The main thing is that there is only one month left before the wedding, so even if you have any opinions, it’s too late.
You have to know that many things are prepared and planned long in advance, and it will be very troublesome to change them now.
Since Zhou Qing chose to hand the matter over to Liu Yifei, he certainly trusted Liu Yifei.
What's more, Zhou Qing himself had communicated with the wedding team in advance.
The current process basically meets Zhou Qing's requirements and preferences.
"You just say nice things..."
A smile appeared on the girl's face.
"The invitations have been sent out, and everything has been arranged in Bali. The souvenirs and other necessary things have also been prepared, and..."
Although Zhou Qing had no objection, Liu Yifei still informed Zhou Qing of everything.
In a nutshell, everything is in order.
Before the wedding officially takes place on August 8, the two of them only need to follow the procedures.
However, because the two of them followed Liu Xiaoli's advice and chose to get married in secret, the process was actually much simpler.
"Zhou Qing, I know that not making the wedding public is a bit unfair to you. I have seen all your efforts for Xixi."
Liu Xiaoli also expressed her apologies to Zhou Qing.
After all, Liu Xiaoli knew very well that for a top director like Zhou Qing, making the wedding public would have no impact.
The reason why the other party agreed to a secret marriage was all for Liu Yifei's sake.
"As long as Sissi is happy."
Zhou Qing said from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Yifei, who was standing next to Zhou Qing, couldn't help but smile happily.
He took Zhou Qing's hand and couldn't help but hold it even tighter.
"The third work of the '囧 series', 'Hong Kong囧', has finished filming, Zhao Liying's student look has been revealed with many highlights."
"Xu Zheng directed and Wang Baoqiang starred in the film 'Lost in Hong Kong' which was completed. Wang Baoqiang said that this 'Lost in Hong Kong' is a little different."
"Lost in Hong Kong" wrapped up in Hong Kong Island. Director Xu Zheng feels that Lost in Hong Kong has completely surpassed Lost in Thailand."
A few days after the completion of "Dying to Survive", Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang's "Lost in Hong Kong" was also completed.
It's totally a matter of one foot and one foot.
It is difficult for people in the industry not to pay close attention to the movie "Lost in Hong Kong".
There’s nothing we can do about it. Who can blame the box office explosion of “Lost in Thailand”?
In addition, the team of "Lost in Hong Kong" is exactly the same as that of "Lost in Thailand", so there is still a great possibility that the success of "Lost in Thailand" can be replicated.
Wang Baoqiang, the leading actor, is very proud of it.
The movie "Lost in Thailand" brought his career to its peak and made him one of the rare "billion-dollar male protagonists" in the circle.
So what about "Lost in Hong Kong"?
The possibility is not small.
"Old Huang, you better be careful, I'm going to overtake you soon."
Wang Baoqiang couldn't help but show off in front of Huang Bo.
In Wang Baoqiang's opinion, Huang Bo's title of "double 10 billion male lead" is still a bit watery, after all, Huang Bo is just a supporting role in "Lost in Thailand".
"I'm telling you, Bao Qiang, this is really impossible. Do you think your Lost in Hong Kong can surpass Dying to Survive?"
"This is a movie directed by Aoko!"
But Huang Bo's words immediately left Wang Baoqiang speechless.
Yes, we can’t forget “Dying to Survive”!
Wang Baoqiang actually hasn’t read the script of “Dying to Survive”, but that doesn’t matter.
Since it is a film directed by Director Zhou himself, it is very likely to be a top hit and may even become the champion in film history.
The possibility of it not being able to beat "Dying to Survive" is really too small.
"Old Huang, you are cheating!"
After holding it in for a long time, Wang Baoqiang finally uttered these words.
Zhao Liying watched Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo bickering without saying anything, just grinning.
Compared to Wang Baoqiang's dissatisfaction, Zhao Liying was just satisfied.
"Lost in Hong Kong" still has a great chance of making Zhao Liying a billionaire actress!
However, as a female artist under Zhou Qing Pictures, Zhao Liying has no intention of competing with Liu Yifei at all.
First of all, Liu Yifei is the boss’s wife, so she is naturally different from others.
Secondly, Liu Yifei's level in the circle is too high, and the gap between her and Zhao Liying is quite large.
Even if we want to compete, we can't win.
So what if Zhao Liying really becomes a billionaire actress?
Liu Yifei is the “three billion-dollar heroine”!
Especially the international Liu.
How can this be compared?
I can't compare. I can't compare.
However, if Zhao Liying really becomes the heroine of a 10 billion box office movie, then Zhou Qing Pictures will be amazing.
Because at that time, all the artists of Zhou Qing Pictures had works with a box office of 10 billion.
It's simply a per capita hanging ratio. (End of this chapter)
