Chapter 403 Director Zhou wins the championship again, "Dying to Survive" is not well rece
"I heard from Jia Nu that 'Dying to Survive' will be released in January next year?"
The birthday party was over and all the other guests had left, but Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei and his wife stayed until the end.
It was not very convenient before because there were other people around, so at this moment Han Sanping couldn't help but ask Zhou Qing about the relevant matters of "Dying to Survive".
In any case, this is also the first work of my beloved daughter.
Han Sanping is very concerned about it.
Even more concerned than Han Jianv.
"Yes, it will be released on New Year's Day next year. We'll have to invite you, Uncle Han, to attend the premiere."
Zhou Qing agreed with a smile and also took the opportunity to invite Han Sanping.
"Whether I take charge or not, I have already withdrawn."
Han Sanping waved his hand modestly, then smiled, "But I really want to see this movie sooner."
"The best position will definitely be reserved for you."
Zhou Qing agreed, and the matter was settled.
"What are your plans for the copyright of 'Dying to Survive'? Have you started contacting those film producers?"
The two sides chatted for a few more sentences, and Han Sanping straightened his face and asked again.
You should know that director Zhou Qing’s films are different from others, as Zhou Qing is an internationally renowned director.
He has influence not only in the Chinese entertainment industry, but also in the world!
If we don’t sell the global copyright, we will really lose money.
“That’s exactly what I’m going to focus on going forward.”
Zhou Qing nodded and did not hide it from Han Sanping.
It is October now, and there are still three months before "Dying to Survive" is officially released.
It’s more than enough to sell the copyright and so on.
"I will also help you arrange for the film producers I know to come over."
Han Sanping expressed a very positive attitude towards this.
Zhou Qing did not refuse, he knew that Han Sanping was working hard for Han Jianu.
The better the films written by Han Jianuo sell overseas, the greater the bonus for Han Jianuo, right?
But to be honest, Zhou Qing is not so optimistic about the copyright situation of "Dying to Survive".
After all, the film has no awards, is not a visual effects blockbuster, and is not an adaptation of a Hollywood or Japanese or Korean work.
It is a genuine Chinese drama.
It probably doesn't suit the taste of the international market.
In the original time and space, "Dying to Survive" was also released in North America, but the results can only be described as embarrassing.
It’s only $5600.
What about Japan and South Korea?
Although it was introduced, the specific box office results have never been announced.
Even if you use your thighs to guess, you know that it will definitely not sell well.
Of course, the situation is different now, as "Dying to Survive" was directed by Zhou Qing.
Considering Zhou Qing's current position in the global market, it is impossible for "Dying to Survive" to perform so poorly.
But Zhou Qing had no idea how the products were selling.
But even so, we should sell as much as we can. If we can sell them, we will make a profit, right?
This will be Zhou Qing’s focus in the coming months before the release of “Dying to Survive”.
"Wesley."
"Thomas."
He did what he said. After returning, Zhou Qing immediately started to meet with film producers from all over the world.
With Zhou Qing's original accumulation in the three major films, as well as the global success of two films "Life of Pi" and "The Revenant".
Zhou Qing's reputation is now very useful and he is very prestigious among international film producers.
When everyone heard that Director Zhou had a new film to sell, they all expressed great interest.
With great enthusiasm, people came from all over the country.
But the specific situation of watching the movie was similar to what Zhou Qing expected.
“Dying to Survive is indeed a good movie, but it doesn’t seem to be suitable for our market.”
"There's no denying the quality of Director Zhou's films, but I'm not sure people want to watch 'Dallas Buyers Club' again."
“That doesn’t seem to fit in with our country’s taste.”
Everyone gave high praise to the quality of the film "Dying to Survive".
The movies directed by Director Zhou are as reliable as ever, there is nothing to say about that.
But film quality is only one of the factors that these film producers consider, not the only one.
It's not even the most important one.
Therefore, the sale of the copyright of "Dying to Survive" can be said to be the most embarrassing thing for Zhou Qing since his debut.
Throughout October, Zhou Qing met with many film producers, and their quotations were generally not very positive.
Many even simply quit and didn't even plan to buy.
Even among those film producers who offered quotes, most of them did so because of Zhou Qing's consideration.
After all, Zhou Qing still has considerable influence around the world, and anything can be sold as long as it has Zhou Qing's name on it.
But people are not too optimistic about how well the product will sell.
"Five million dollars?"
“After working for a month, we only sold 1200 million US dollars?”
Zhou Qing has truly felt the ups and downs of life.
His 11 film "Your Name" also took one month to sell a full 6500 million US dollars.
Compared with "Dying to Survive", the gap is really huge.
Considering this situation, what else can Zhou Qing do?
Just keep selling.
After some calculation, it turns out that the copyrights in quite a few regions have not been sold yet because the film producers Zhou Qing contacted are not interested.
Then Zhou Qing had no choice but to contact other film producers and continue to watch films.
"The much-anticipated Ip Man 4 will be released in December, and lead actor Zhao Wenzhuo posted a Weibo post to warm up for the movie."
"Ip Man 4 releases 'ultimate showdown' action special, with fully upgraded fighting scenes."
“Ip Man 4 is the final chapter of the Ip Man film series and should not be missed.”
In November, the film market became lively, and the horn of the Lunar New Year holiday was officially sounded.
But looking at the movies released in November, there is actually nothing worth mentioning.
Instead, the two films released in December attracted almost everyone's attention.
"Ip Man 4" is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one among them.
There is no other reason. After the three previous films laid the foundation, the "Ip Man" series has now become the most successful and popular kung fu series, without a doubt.
This series has already formed an IP!
The powerful IP effect naturally makes "Ip Man 4" the most eye-catching one of the same period.
Considering that the total box office of "Ip Man 3" is as high as 8 million yuan, people in the industry have to make a guess.
Could it be that the box office of "Ip Man 4" can exceed 10 billion?
Zhou Qing Pictures is about to launch another billion-level movie?
Considering all aspects, "Ip Man 4" is the one with the best marketability.
So what is the second most important film after "Ip Man 4"?
Naturally it is Feng Xiaogang’s "Old Cannon".
This film can be said to be the heavyweight movie in December second only to "Ip Man 12".
The level of attention, anticipation, and topicality are all at their highest, only slightly inferior to "Ip Man 4".
There is only one reason, the leading actor of "Mr. Six" is the famous mainland director Feng Xiaogang!
For many people, this alone is enough to get you into the theater.
You have to know that although Feng Xiaogang is a top director, his acting skills are actually quite good. When he played the boss of the Crocodile Gang in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", his performance was very popular.
"Harris."
"Anthony."
The sale of the copyright of "Dying to Survive" is still ongoing, and film producers one after another continue to appear in Zhou Qing Pictures.
Unfortunately, the sales situation has never been very optimistic.
Judging from the current situation, Zhou Qing felt that it would be good if it could be sold for 2000 million US dollars at most.
But even so, the cost of "Dying to Survive" was only 6000 million, and it can still make a lot of money.
Even if we can't make over 100 million, at least 70 or 80 million should not be difficult.
"Director Zhou, the first draft of the script for Nezha is out!"
In mid-November, Director Chen reported to Zhou Qing on the progress of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".
He knew that Zhou Qing attached great importance to this animated film.
As expected, Zhou Qing showed great interest in this and went through the script as soon as possible.
How should I put it, Jiaozi is indeed a very talented guy.
This first draft is actually quite different from the finished film "Ne Zha", but even so it is still quite neat.
Overall, it is mature and fluent, showing great skill.
You have to know that it has only been more than a month. It is really amazing that the script can be written like this.
"Director Zhou, this is just the first draft, not the final version. I still need to revise it!"
Jiaozi was afraid that Zhou Qing might misunderstand him, so he emphasized it again and again in front of Zhou Qing.
It was obvious that Jiaozi was very dissatisfied with the first version of the script.
At the same time, he was a little worried that Zhou Qing would give him random suggestions.
After all, Zhou Qing is recognized as the script king and the number one screenwriter in the circle.
But when it comes to writing scripts, which screenwriter likes other people to tell him what to do?
Even if the one who is pointing fingers is a great god.
"The script is the foundation of a play. I won't rush you. Just work hard on it."
Little did he know that Zhou Qing had no intention of intervening at all, he just encouraged Jiaozi.
"Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" has a high score of 8.4, and the quality is already very high.
Zhou Qing was too lazy to intervene.
"Directed by Lu Yang and written by Zhou Qing, "Time Travel Cohabitation" has started filming, and the female lead is Zhao Liying of Zhou Qing Films."
"The soft science fiction comedy "Time Travel" started filming in Huairou, and Lu Yang directed a science fiction film for the first time."
"Zhou Qing Pictures releases its fourth film, "Time Travelers", and fans are eagerly awaiting it."
Lu Yang's "Super Time Cohabitation" has been in preparation for two months and finally started filming amid everyone's anticipation.
To be honest, everyone in the industry is quite interested in this soft science fiction movie.
In fact, science fiction films have always had a very large audience.
Even those Hollywood science fiction blockbusters are often the magic weapon for reaping box office revenue.
Unfortunately, Chinese-language films have always lacked decent science fiction films.
Science fiction films like "Time Traveler" that look credible at first glance are even rarer.
Under such circumstances, "Time Raiders" still aroused widespread expectations in the circle.
Zhao Liying, the leading actress, was very excited. This was her second time playing the leading role in a movie produced by Zhou Qing Pictures.
The last time she played the leading role in "20 Again", she broke through the upper limit of her career and won nearly 5 million yuan at the box office.
It made him a movie star in one fell swoop.
Zhao Liying believes that this drama "Super Time Cohabitation" will take her career to a higher level.
"Following "The Disguiser", Zhu Yawen once again brings a hit spy drama, "The Disguiser" is now on air."
"Zhu Yawen starred in the spy drama "The Disguiser", which was a huge hit and topped the ratings charts on the first day of its premiere."
"The Disguiser has set off a viewership boom, and Zhou Qing Pictures has once again brought us a hit TV series."
In addition to the film industry, Zhou Qing Pictures has also made its presence felt in the TV drama industry.
"The Disguiser", co-produced by Zhou Qing Pictures and Shanying, premiered on November 11.
Different from the embarrassing ratings of "Nirvana in Fire", the performance of "The Disguiser" is so impressive and so terrible.
It won the ratings championship on the first day of its broadcast and was the champion of CSM50 cities.
Simply put, "The Disguiser" was the ratings champion in all 50 cities.
Note that this is data from the first day of broadcasting.
At the same time, "The Disguiser" is also the ratings champion of the entire network, and has set a record of over 100 million daily views for spy war dramas.
It can be said that it exploded from the start.
As a person who has been reborn, Zhou Qing knows even more that "The Disguiser" is not just explosive at the beginning, but explosive from beginning to end.
From the first day of its broadcast until its end, it has always firmly held the position of ratings champion without any exception.
Especially during the finale, the ratings increased to 3.02, breaking the record for spy war dramas.
I'm angry!
"The Disguiser" is completely a hit.
The embarrassing ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" are equivalent to making Zhou Qing fall once.
Then "The Disguiser" can bring Zhou Qing back to the top.
Who said that director Zhou Qing is no longer capable of producing TV dramas?
Who said that director Zhou Qing is no longer capable of directing TV dramas?
Isn’t “The Disguiser” popular again?
What's more, it has been two months since the broadcast of "Nirvana in Fire", and "Nirvana in Fire" has truly become a hit.
The popularity of the drama on the Internet is incredibly high, and it has become a real hit.
Those who laughed at Zhou Qing's failure at the beginning have all shut their mouths and are no longer ashamed to say those words.
Because "Nirvana in Fire" is really popular.
"I knew you could always trust Director Zhou."
"Who said Nirvana in Fire was a flop? The popularity is about to explode."
"Your uncle is still your uncle."
The TV drama circle is very lively, and no one dares to underestimate Zhou Qing anymore.
Even a show like "Nirvana in Fire" with such poor ratings can explode to this level, Director Zhou is really amazing.
What's more important?
The reputation and good reviews of "Nirvana in Fire" are already exaggerated.
I really can't help but accept it.
Coupled with the hit drama "The Disguiser", Zhou Qing can be said to have used facts and data to powerfully crush all doubts and objections.
"Mr. Zhu, congratulations, your TV series is popular again."
"Yeah, I'm envious. The Disguiser is so popular."
Everyone at Zhou Qing Pictures sent congratulatory messages to the lead actor Zhu Yawen.
Zhu Yawen laughed so hard that his mouth stretched to his ears.
Now that "The Disguiser" has become so popular, he can once again make his presence felt.
Its popularity and popularity among the public will definitely increase significantly.
This "The Pretender" will definitely become one of his important representative works. (End of this chapter)
