Chapter 410 Director Zhou regains the title of film history champion and leads Chinese entertainment

"Dying to Survive has grossed 32.8 billion yuan, surpassing Monster Hunt to become the new box office champion!"

"32.8 billion box office! Dying to Survive leads Chinese entertainment into the 30 billion box office era!"

"Director Zhou Qing returns as a king, and Dying to Survive sets a new record in Chinese film history!"

On February 2, Dying to Survive, which had dominated the charts for a month, was taken off the screen, shocking the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

There is no other reason, it’s just that the box office of 32.8 billion is really too shocking.

It was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's chest and head hard.

Everyone was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

32.8 million?
Director Zhou, you are kidding!
Even though "Dying to Survive" was too strong before and made 20 billion in two weeks, everyone speculated that "Dying to Survive" would definitely break 30 billion.

But when the box office revenue of more than 30 billion was revealed, no one could remain calm.

There's no other reason, this number is really too outrageous.

You have to know that in this day and age, even a box office of a few billion is already the box office ceiling for Chinese-language films.

There are not many movies that can achieve this in a year.

For example, the box office of "Monster Hunt" is over 20 billion, which is even more unique.

At that time, everyone in the circle was greatly shocked.

Even when "Dying to Survive" was released, director Zhou Qing's goal was simply to surpass "Monster Hunt".

In other words, it is only aiming for a box office of 20 billion+.

Even so, some people still have doubts.

A box office of 20 billion is already a peak that no one dares to imagine.

As a result, Director Zhou directly crossed the 20 billion box office threshold and won the 30 billion box office in one go?
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you wouldn't believe it.

Even if the real data is there, many people cannot accept it and feel it is unreal.

Director Zhou’s strength is truly terrifying.

When other top directors were surpassed and seemed insignificant, Director Zhou was absent from Huayu for 4 years, but when he came back he blew up the entire Huayu.

It’s okay not to accept it.

"More than 30 billion, 'Dying to Survive' has actually broken the 30 billion box office!"

Master Zhang couldn't remain calm when faced with this number.

He really didn't expect that "Dying to Survive" would actually gross more than 30 billion yuan at the box office.

Even with Master Zhang's level, he was deeply stimulated.

That guy Zhou Qing is still as good at creating miracles as ever.

How could such an ordinary feature film like "Dying to Survive" achieve such an outrageous box office?

To be honest, this movie is definitely well made, but is it really that good?

Master Zhang couldn't accept it!

At the same time, Master Zhang also felt a tremendous pressure.

The box office of "Dying to Survive" has now exceeded 30 billion yuan, so what about his own "The Great Wall"?

Can it also break 30 billion?

If he had not fallen out with Zhang Weiping at this time, Zhang Weiping would definitely have spoken with certainty and confidence.

It is said that "The Great Wall" will definitely break 30 billion and will definitely surpass "Dying to Survive".

After all, "The Great Wall" is such a large-scale production, and its lineup in front of and behind the scenes is incomparable to "Dying to Survive".

Even "Dying to Survive" made 30 billion, and "The Great Wall" will have no problem making 40 billion.

It’s a pity that Master Zhang is not Zhang Weiping, and he is not as arrogant as Zhang Weiping.

Although Master Zhang also very much hopes that "The Great Wall" can surpass "Dying to Survive", he is not really sure.

"Dad, the box office of 'Dying to Survive' has exceeded 30 billion!"

Han Jianu kept yelling at her father and almost jumped up from the ground.

She was usually dignified, but at this moment she was yelling and had lost control of her emotions.

There's nothing I can do. I'm so excited and thrilled.

"Dying to Survive" is the work of screenwriter Han Jianuo!
When Han Jianv went to find Zhou Qing, she knew that if Zhou Qing was willing to direct the film, the box office of "Dying to Survive" would definitely be good.

But even so, Han Jianu could never have dreamed that "Dying to Survive" could actually break 30 billion!
This is a box office of 30 billion.

It is unique in the entire history of Chinese entertainment and film!
Not to mention the box office of 30 billion, even if it was 20 billion, there was only one such movie in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

Under such circumstances, can you believe that "Dying to Survive" could earn 30 billion yuan at the box office?

When she thought of this, Han Jianu could no longer hide her admiration and respect for Zhou Qing.

My senior from Beijing Film Academy is really a pervert.

Rejoice!

Han Jianu was so grateful at this moment.

Fortunately, I went to find Senior Brother Zhou Qing at that time. I am really a genius!
"Yes, Director Zhou has set a new record, 30 billion, I didn't expect it."

The old father Han Sanping nodded in agreement and sighed repeatedly.

Having worked with Zhou Qing so many times, Han Sanping knows Zhou Qing very well and has great confidence in him.

Looking back at Zhou Qing's directorial career, it is a career of success and record-breaking all the way.

Ever since Zhou Qing started shooting commercial films, every film he released is bound to break box office records and win the box office championship.

Isn’t there a saying circulating in the circle, “The only one who can break Director Zhou’s record”?

From this we can see how powerful the movies directed by Zhou Qing are.

Although Zhou Qing's record was broken by "Monster Hunt" this time, it was only because Zhou Qing hadn't released a film in 4 years.

Han Sanping believed that if Zhou Qing had not ventured into Hollywood and had stayed in China Entertainment, this situation would definitely not have occurred.

The 20 billion box office record will definitely be broken by Zhou Qing first, and it will never be the turn of "Monster Hunt".

"Monster Hunt" simply took advantage of Zhou Qing's absence to take advantage of the situation.

But even so, Han Sanping believed that as long as Zhou Qing came back, he would definitely be able to surpass "Monster Hunt".

Although Zhou Qing's "Your Name" four years ago only had a box office of 4 billion, "Dying to Survive" has 14 billion more, so it will definitely have no problem getting a box office of over 10 billion.

For other directors, it would be difficult to get an extra 10 billion yuan, but this is Director Zhou.

Director Zhou can definitely do it.

But Han Sanping didn't expect that "Dying to Survive" would earn an additional 20 billion yuan, and the total box office reached 30 billion yuan!

Even Han Sanping's old waist was sprained.

fierce!
Director Zhou is really too aggressive.

But besides sighing, Han Sanping was more happy and excited.

The explosive data of "Dying to Survive" will definitely be a huge boost to his beloved daughter's career.

"More than 30 billion, I really am now the leading man with a 30 billion box office!"

Zhou Qing Films, Huang Bo’s loud voice almost blew the roof off the house, and his smile was about to turn into substance and penetrate his body.

So proud!
Huang Bo is really very proud now.

It's a pity that he had always dreamed of becoming the second 20 billion male lead in the Chinese entertainment industry, but in the end he found that he was still too conservative.

What’s a 20 billion male lead?

We are now the male protagonist of 30 billion!
He is also the first and only male lead in the Chinese entertainment industry to have earned over 30 billion yuan.

This lineup and this level of status are simply hopeless.

"Old Huang, look how proud you are of yourself!"

Zhu Yawen criticized Huang Bo fiercely, and he couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He felt that Huang Bo's face was too disgusting, and it was irritating his heart.

There was no way, Zhu Yawen was really envious and jealous.

It's not just Zhu Yawen, but also Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying and other people. As long as they are actors, there is no one who doesn't envy, jealous and hate him.

The number 30 billion is really too dazzling, so dazzling that it is blinding.

To put it bluntly, this drama "Dying to Survive" can be said to have brought Huang Bo to the pinnacle of his career.

Huang Bo made a huge leap and became the most popular and eye-catching star in the circle, no doubt about it.

As fellow actors, how can we remain calm?

"A male protagonist worth 30 billion, what's wrong with me showing off? Shouldn't I show off?"

Not only did Huang Bo not restrain his expression, his mouth opened even wider.

Zhu Yawen standing next to him wanted to hit Huang Bo.

It's enough that you know you're awesome, but there has to be a limit to how awesome we can be!
"Don't be so cocky. Wait until I make a 40 billion movie next time and see if you can still be cocky."

Zhu Yawen curled his lips at Huang Bo with a look of dissatisfaction.

Although it was a deliberate attack on Huang Bo, it also contained some of Zhu Yawen's ambitions.

With Qingzi as a big tree to lean on, it might not be impossible for him to star in a movie with a box office of 40 billion.

Isn't it just getting a few hundred million more on top of the 30 billion? Isn't it difficult for Qingzi?

Qingzi is the number one director in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, the most powerful director!
"Wait until you start acting."

Huang Bocai was not willing to be outdone.

Zhou Qing looked at the laughing people, smiled and shook his head, without saying much.

"Director Chen."

He simply called Director Chen over and told him to prepare for the celebration banquet.

"Dying to Survive" has achieved such explosive results, it would be unreasonable not to hold a celebration party.

Even before Zhou Qing called Director Chen, several producers had called one after another.

It means that it will be held in a grand manner.

Zhou Qing certainly wouldn't spoil everyone's fun, right?

However, this kind of thing can be left to other people, and director Zhou Qing does not have to worry about it himself.

He continued to work on the script of "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: India".

In fact, this work is now nearing completion and it will only take another day or two to complete.

Zhou Qing's plan was to finalize this matter before the celebration party for "Dying to Survive".

"Director Zhou, the global box office of 'Maze Runner' is out, totaling 4.21 million US dollars!"

"Congratulations! The Maze Runner is a box office success!"

A phone call from Director Yang interrupted Zhou Qing's progress, and the other party gave Zhou Qing a corresponding report.

Director Yang's voice in the receiver still sounded very cheerful and joyful.

Although the global box office of "Maze Runner" is not as good as "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight", don't forget that the cost of "Maze Runner" is really low.

It's only 3400 million US dollars.

With a cost of 3400 million, the box office revenue reached 4.21 million. What else do you want?
4.21 million?
Zhou Qing was slightly surprised.

In the original time and space, the global box office of "Maze Runner 1" was only 3.48 million US dollars.

Now it is nearly 7000 million US dollars more than before.

Could it be that because the current script of "Maze Runner 1" was written by myself, the quality of the film has improved a bit?
And then it affected the box office?
Zhou Qing didn’t know if this was the reason, but he was too lazy to delve into it.

Whatever the reason, the box office of "Maze Runner 1" has increased, which is naturally a good thing.

"I see, it's not bad."

Zhou Qing gave Director Yang high praise, and he was also in a very happy mood.

From a commercial perspective, "Maze Runner 1" is definitely a huge success.

"Maze Runner 2 will continue to be developed, and I will still write the script myself."

Zhou Qing gave the order to Director Yang without any hesitation.

With the momentum of The Maze Runner going so well, why would there be any reason to interrupt it?
The only thing to worry about is that the quality of the original "Maze Runner 2" dropped significantly, resulting in a decline in box office.

Or to be more precise, there is a problem with the script of "Maze Runner 2".

This further affected the quality of the entire film.

That's why Zhou Qing needs to do it himself.

Zhou Qing believes that the high-quality "Maze Runner 2" adapted by himself will definitely not experience a box office decline like the original film.

"Director Zhou, if you are willing to personally handle it, that would be great!"

Director Yang was overjoyed when he heard this.

If Director Zhou is willing to continue working on it, the quality will definitely be more guaranteed.

"By the way, Director Zhou, the finished film of The Hunger Games 3 came out last month. Do you want to come and watch it?"

After discussing "Maze Runner", Director Yang continued to report to Zhou Qing.

"I trust you, so I won't go to the movie."

After a brief thought, Zhou Qing rejected Director Yang's proposal.

The first two "Hunger Games" movies have been a huge success, and the third movie will also be produced by the original team, so Zhou Qing is still reassured about this.

If you want to watch a movie, there is really no need for that.

Zhou Qing simply instructed Director Yang to continue producing "The Hunger Games 4".

"The Hunger Games 4" and "Maze Runner 2" are Crown Pictures' film plans this year.

"By the way, Director Zhou, do you know Director Villeneuve?"

After finishing giving the instructions, Director Yang suddenly asked Zhou Qing.

Villeneuve?

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows.

As a person who has been reborn, he naturally knows who this person is.

He is also an internationally renowned director.

Not many people may know this name, but many people will definitely have an impression of his works.

For example, "Scorch City" and "Sicario", and the two future blockbuster "Dune".

"I know him, what do you want to say?"

Zhou Qing asked Director Yang calmly.

"He has set his sights on a novel in our copyright library, The Story of Your Life, and wants to adapt it into a movie."

"Story of Your Life"?
Zhou Qing reacted in one second. Isn't this the famous "Arrival"?

In the original time and space, this is indeed one of Villeneuve's masterpieces.

“You can authorize him.”

Zhou Qing made this decision after just a moment of hesitation.

"Arrival" is a literary science fiction film with not much box office potential, with a global total box office of only 1.6 million US dollars.

So Zhou Qing didn’t plan to shoot it himself.

It is the best choice to hand it over to its original director. (End of this chapter)
