Chapter 411 The only person who can rival Director Zhou, the record just set by "Dying to Survi
"Director Zhou, congratulations on the huge box office success of 'Dying to Survive'!"
"Director Zhou, congratulations to 'Dying to Survive' for winning the box office championship!"
"Director Zhou..."
"Director Zhou..."
On February 2, "Dying to Survive" held a grand celebration banquet, and the momentum was quite grand.
Looking around, there are all kinds of big stars, big investors, and industry giants.
Basically, anyone you meet is a well-known figure in the circle.
The lineup is even more luxurious than the original premiere.
After all, at the premiere, no one in the entire industry could have expected that "Dying to Survive" would gross more than 30 billion yuan.
Zhou Qing was absent from Chinese entertainment for 4 years, but the movie "Dying to Survive" brought him back to the top.
Not to mention, in addition to being the top director in China Entertainment, Zhou Qing is also the boss of a film and television company.
He is not just the boss of a film and television company, he also owns a film and television company in Hollywood.
Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to imagine how Zhou Qing was welcomed at the celebration party for "Dying to Survive".
"Director Zhou, congratulations! You are now a director with a box office of 30 billion!"
La Peikang, the current chairman of China Film Group, also appeared in front of Zhou Qing with a rosy face and a brilliant smile on his face.
How can it not be brilliant?
"Dying to Survive" is a film project personally handled by La Peikang!
Now that such explosive results have been achieved, it is a huge achievement for La Peikang.
In fact, since the release of "Dying to Survive", La Peikang has been in the limelight at China Film and has made his presence felt.
Especially when the box office of "Dying to Survive" exceeded 30 billion, La Peikang was met with envious and jealous gazes wherever he went.
The leaders above all praised La Peikang by name.
This "Dying to Survive" not only made Zhou Qingying numb, but also made La Peikangying numb.
Therefore, La Peikang's mood at this moment was no less joyful than Zhou Qing's.
"This is all inseparable from your support, Mr. La."
Zhou Qing smiled and responded very humbly.
"I didn't do anything. It's all your fault, Director Zhou."
La Peikang waved his hands repeatedly and chatted with Zhou Qing in a good mood.
Bursts of hearty laughter could be heard from time to time at the scene, attracting the attention of everyone around.
Many people want to join in the conversation between these two top bosses, but because they are not famous enough, they can only watch.
I didn't dare to come forward to disturb them.
"By the way, Director Zhou, there will be a seminar on the 30 billion box office of 'Dying to Survive' the day after tomorrow, hosted by the Film Bureau."
"As the director of 'Dying to Survive', you can't be absent."
The two sides chatted for a while, and then La Peikang straightened his face and said this to Zhou Qing.
Seminar, and more seminar.
Zhou Qing couldn't help but complain in his mind. He really didn't understand what the point of this seminar was.
But this seminar was sponsored by the Film Bureau, and Zhou Qing was personally invited by the current chairman of China Film. Could he refuse?
I can only agree to it.
"You will have to speak at that time, so I don't need to say more, right?"
La Peikang gave Zhou Qing a special reminder at the end, which made Zhou Qing even more speechless.
Fortunately, Zhou Qing was already used to this kind of thing and had some experience with it, after all, he had participated in it many times.
You don't even need to prepare in advance, there will be no problem performing on the spot when the time comes.
"Thanks to you, I have been in the limelight recently."
Han Sanping then came to chat with Zhou Qing.
He glanced at La Peikang, who was in high spirits in the crowd, and teased him.
During the entire celebration banquet, only Han Sanping dared to casually comment on La Peikang in such a tone.
"The beautiful lady is the one who stole the show, right? Where has she gone now?"
Zhou Qing looked around Han Sanping but did not see Han Jianu.
"She's been surrounded by several producers. Don't pay any attention to her."
Han Sanping waved his hand nonchalantly, but he couldn't suppress the pride in his eyes.
Seeing his precious daughter succeed in her career, Han Sanping was happier than anything else.
Zhou Qing seemed to have grasped Han Sanping's vital point, and he praised Han Jianu calmly.
Han Sanping laughed so hard that his eyes became invisible.
“By the way, I plan to make another movie this year.”
After some small talk, Han Sanping told Zhou Qing this.
This surprised Zhou Qing a little.
The third master has retired.
But as a person who was reborn, he reacted immediately after just a thought.
Could it be "The Founding of an Army", one of the "tribute film trilogy"?
"Next year will be the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army. I plan to make the last use of my remaining energy to present a gift to our party and our motherland."
Sure enough, Han Sanping's next words completely verified Zhou Qing's guess.
The movie the other party planned to produce was the last part of the trilogy, "The Founding of an Army".
However, because Han Sanping has retired and is not the director, the cast of "The Founding of an Army" is obviously much worse than the previous two films.
There are nearly two hundred big-name stars in both "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party".
But what about "The Founding of an Army"?
There are only 42 digits.
I can only say that the idiom "When people leave, the tea gets cold" is so true.
"I am no longer the director of this film, I am only the producer, but it is also one of the most important film projects of China Film Group."
"If you have any actors you want to recommend, please tell me later."
Han Sanping spoke to Zhou Qing very sincerely again.
Han Sanping invited Zhou Qing to perform in both "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party", but this time, Sanye did not speak up.
It is obvious that with Zhou Qing's current status, even a film like "The Founding of an Army" is a bit unworthy of his stature.
Han Sanping also understood this, so he tactfully did not bring up the idea.
They didn't even take the initiative to invite the artists under Zhou Qing Pictures to join.
You should know that all the artists in Zhou Qing Film are top-tier celebrities.
"Okay, Uncle Han, I'll go back and think about it carefully."
Although he had no such intention, Zhou Qing still agreed.
As far as I can remember, the total box office of "The Founding of an Army" was just over 3 million to less than 4 million.
In an era like 17, it is a complete flop.
Besides, the director was not Han Sanping, and Zhou Qing had no intention of letting the artists under his company to perform in the film.
"The celebration party for 'Dying to Survive' was attended by many stars, and Director Zhou Qing thanked the audience for their support."
"The 32 billion box office movie "Dying to Survive" held a celebration banquet, and the two former chairmen of China Film Group Corporation appeared together."
Even though it has been taken off the screen, "Dying to Survive" still made its presence felt.
Especially the group photos leaked from the scene, which attracted the attention of everyone in the circle.
Isn’t Director Zhou’s celebration party for this movie a little too luxurious?
Is this the status of the top director in Chinese entertainment?
There is no comparison.
"Zhou Qing, come quickly and take a look at these peach blossom branches."
Back in the luxurious villa, Liu Yifei waved to Zhou Qing excitedly.
Zhou Qing leaned over to take a look, and saw some pictures displayed on the tablet in the girl's hand. They were all pictures of the effect of some New Year's dresses, and they looked very beautiful.
That’s right, this year’s Spring Festival is on February 2th, and it’s already February 8th, so the New Year is just a few days away.
"quite pretty."
Zhou Qing nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I said these are pretty good looking, what about these?"
The girl enthusiastically pointed out some other pictures.
"Quite good looking."
Zhou Qing looked at it for a while and nodded as well, giving affirmation and approval.
It's definitely not to please the girl, but I really think it looks beautiful.
"I plan to place this peach blossom branch in this location in the hall, and then hang these decorations on it..."
The girl was very happy and talked incessantly to Zhou Qing about some of her ideas.
He was very interested in going shopping with Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing was of course quite interested in this and agreed without much hesitation.
Originally, Zhou Qing was planning to write the script for "Maze Runner 2", but at this moment he decisively put the matter on hold.
Anyway, the early preparations for "Maze Runner 2" will take some time, so it doesn't matter whether the script is released earlier or later.
Besides, doesn’t Zhou Qing make so much money just to enjoy life?
So I decided to go shopping with my girlfriend.
There is just one thing that makes the girl very dissatisfied.
"Seminar? They still want to hold a meeting when the Chinese New Year is almost here? If they don't celebrate the Chinese New Year themselves, will others not celebrate it too?"
When the girl learned that Zhou Qing was going to attend a seminar, she couldn't help but start complaining wildly.
But even though she complained, the girl knew that she couldn't shirk this kind of responsibility, and she even took the initiative to help Zhou Qing choose clothes.
"Wear this tie. It makes you look more serious and less dull."
"And the watch. Your previous watch is too flashy and not suitable. Wear this one."
After being tidied up by Liu Yifei, Zhou Qing drove to China Film Studio.
"Director Zhou."
"Director Zhou."
Many people who had already arrived came over to greet Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing instantly became the most handsome guy in the crowd.
No matter what the other party's status or position was, Zhou Qing always responded with a humble attitude.
You can't find anything wrong with it.
"Director Zhou."
"Director Zhang."
Master Zhang also came. Even he couldn't refuse the meeting led by the Film Bureau.
“Has the post-production of The Great Wall been completed?”
After a brief exchange of greetings, the two sides inevitably mentioned the movie "The Great Wall".
It is no exaggeration to say that after the release of "Dying to Survive", "The Great Wall" is currently the most important movie in the entire industry, without a doubt.
The whole circle is paying close attention to it.
There are even many people who believe that "The Great Wall" is capable enough to challenge "Dying to Survive".
After all, the team behind the scenes of "The Great Wall" is really too luxurious.
"We're still working on it. Director Zhou, you should know that this kind of special effects film takes a lot of time to post-process."
Master Zhang was speaking the truth and was definitely not trying to please Zhou Qing.
"It should be okay for it to be released this year, right? This is an epic movie directed by you, Director Zhang. I can't wait."
Even though he knew that "The Great Wall" was a bad movie, Zhou Qing still deliberately showed great interest in it.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be released this year."
Master Zhang hesitated for a moment and revealed this to Zhou Qing.
But no further details were given about the specific release date.
"Really? Why hold a meeting during Chinese New Year?"
The great director Jiang Wen couldn't escape either and was also called over.
As soon as he saw Zhou Qing, he started complaining and looked quite unhappy.
Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh.
This guy Jiang Wen is always so full of personality.
He immediately started chatting and talking nonsense with Jiang Wen.
There are also some other acquaintances and friends, so it’s not too boring.
"The Mermaid" had its grand premiere, Stephen Chow and the main creators appeared, and Deng Chao imitated scenes from Stephen Chow's classic movies on the spot."
"Director Zhou Xingchi's "The Mermaid" premiered in Beijing, and "Star Boy" Xu Ke appeared to support it."
On the same day, February 2, Stephen Chow’s “The Mermaid” held a grand premiere.
It has rekindled everyone's enthusiasm for watching movies, and it can even be said that it has reached a peak.
This is Stephen Chow’s movie.
To be frank, looking at this Lunar New Year box office, apart from Zhou Qing's "Dying to Survive", the most anticipated one is "The Mermaid".
Although Zhou Qing's "Dying to Survive" just set a new record, it shocked many people.
But there is a unanimous consensus in the industry that Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid" can compete with "Dying to Survive".
If we ask who in the entire Chinese entertainment industry can compete with Zhou Qing right now, if we count carefully, there is only one person, Stephen Chow.
Especially since Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid" and Zhou Qing's "Dying to Survive" were released so close to each other.
It's a seamless connection.
Then everyone in the industry had to start speculating, can the box office of "The Mermaid" surpass "Dying to Survive"?
Stephen Chow VS Zhou Qing, who will be better?
This topic was quickly hyped up by major media outlets, and then exploded in the entire media and the entire Internet.
Netizens all started discussing this crazily.
Most people think that Stephen Chow cannot beat Zhou Qing.
After all, although Stephen Chow is very capable, his achievements are obviously far behind those of Zhou Qing.
Even if we ignore everything else and just look at the box office data, Stephen Chow cannot compare to Zhou Qing.
But there are also quite a few people who believe that Stephen Chow can defeat Zhou Qing.
You have to know that Stephen Chow has not made that many films, and his production speed is very slow. He hasn't even made it as far as Zhou Qinggang.
Just looking at the box office of Stephen Chow's movies, it's actually quite amazing.
So you can't say that Stephen Chow can't compare to Zhou Qing, right?
So what are the facts?
Can Stephen Chow’s “The Mermaid” surpass “Dying to Survive”?
"The Mermaid" was released on February 2th, and the first day box office figures quickly came out.
The whole circle immediately became lively.
Why?
Because the first day box office of "The Mermaid" reached 2.6 million yuan.
It surpassed the 2.5 million yuan of "Dying to Survive" in one fell swoop!
What the hell?
Director Zhou returned as a king after 4 years, directly taking over 30 billion at the box office to dominate the Chinese entertainment industry again, shocking everyone in the industry.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, he was defeated by Stephen Chow?
In this "Double Zhou Battle", is it Zhou Qing who loses? (End of this chapter)
