Chapter 432: 20 billion hits 30 billion in 40 days, Master Zhang is pressed to the ground
Chapter 432: 20 billion hits 30 billion in 40 days, Master Zhang is pressed to the ground
40 million?
hiss!
When they thought of this, many people in the circle subconsciously took a breath.
No way, no way, "Operation Red Sea" can't be so crazy, right?
Can the Chinese entertainment market really reach this level at the moment?
You should know that the only movie with a box office of 30 billion is Director Zhou’s "Dying to Survive".
Even if there are movies with a box office of 20 billion, there are only three of them.
No matter what, it won't be as exaggerated as 40 billion, right?
If that were the case, it would be really scary.
"40 billion, it's not impossible!"
Zhou Qing, the reborn person, was not too clear about this and was not sure.
In the original time and space, the total box office of "Operation Red Sea" reached an astonishing 36 billion!
That was the case when he was not favored by the circle in the beginning, but later he made a comeback.
Now, after my intervention, the box office has been very good from the beginning, and the total box office will definitely increase accordingly, and it has the potential to exceed 40 billion.
But as for how much it could be improved, Zhou Qing had no idea.
Judging from the current box office trends, we can only say that there is a great hope of breaking 40 billion.
But Zhou Qing was not sure whether he could break it.
Of course, Zhou Qing is still looking forward to this.
If it can really break 40 billion, I'm sure everyone in the industry will go crazy, haha.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile.
"Director Zhou, I'm also very familiar with your name in South Korea."
On December 12, Park Hun-jung from South Korea appeared at Zhou Qing Films and in front of Zhou Qing.
The other party's attitude towards Zhou Qing was still very enthusiastic.
When he said that he had long heard of Zhou Qing's name in South Korea, he was not just complimenting or being polite, but was speaking the truth.
Today, Zhou Qing is a famous Hollywood director and an international director, and naturally he is also very famous in South Korea.
Apart from anything else, many of Zhou Qing's works have been released in South Korea and achieved good results.
Especially in the entertainment and director circles of South Korea, Zhou Qing is even more of a great god, and is highly respected by the South Korean director community.
"Director Park, you are so polite. Please sit down."
Zhou Qing smiled and asked Park Hunzheng to sit down opposite him.
Although this person has not produced many works in South Korea, he is still quite famous.
The movie "New World" can be said to have made Park Hoon-jung famous and became a representative figure of South Korea's emerging directors.
"Director Zhou, I really like your movie "The Witch". This movie is such a classic."
"When I first saw the film in the theater, I was touched and I felt very sorry."
"It's a pity that I didn't make this movie..."
After a brief greeting between the two sides, Park Hun-jeong began to praise "The Witch" in front of Zhou Qing.
They praised "The Witch" to the utmost.
It can be seen that Park Hoon-jung really likes "The Witch".
"Director Park, you're overpraising me. Your New World is also a rare good film."
Zhou Qing waved his hands, acted modestly in front of Park Xunzheng, and responded with a business boast.
"Director Zhou has also seen the movie I made?"
Park Hun-jeong was slightly surprised, and felt a little shocked and happy.
Although he has some fame in South Korea, he is no match for Zhou Qing in terms of rank.
“Of course, The New World is a movie I really like.”
Zhou Qing spread his hands. He was definitely not trying to fool Park Hun-jeong, but was telling the truth.
However, there was one thing he did not tell Park Hun-jung: he did not watch "New World" now, but in his "previous life".
At that time, Zhou Qing still liked this movie very much.
Like "Infernal Affairs", this film tells a story about a double undercover agent, but it is much darker than "Infernal Affairs".
It is also much more cruel.
Anyway, Zhou Qing enjoyed watching it.
"I never thought that one day the director of this film would collaborate with me."
“The world is so strange sometimes.”
Zhou Qing continued to smile at Park Xunzheng, and upon hearing his words, the other party also laughed out loud in agreement.
The atmosphere at the scene was so joyful.
"Director Zhou, it's a pleasure working with you!"
"Director Park, it's been a pleasure working with you!"
There is no need to say much about the final result. One was willing to buy and the other was willing to sell, and they hit it off perfectly.
Park Hun-jeong quickly reached a cooperation intention with Zhou Qing.
After discussing the specific details with Director Chen and signing the corresponding treaty, Park Hun-jeong left China with satisfaction.
I got on the plane back to Korea.
"Director Zhou Qing's classic action science fiction film "The Witch" is being remade again! The famous Korean director Park Xunzheng has obtained the authorization from Director Zhou."
"'The Witch' is confirmed to be remade in South Korea, and the director will be Park Hoon-jung, the director of 'New World'."
"After Source Code and Your Name, director Zhou Qing's Witch is being remade again."
The relevant news quickly spread throughout the Chinese entertainment industry, immediately making the circle lively again.
Director Zhou’s films have been targeted by other countries again.
Six six six, that’s awesome.
He is worthy of being the number one director in Chinese entertainment.
The first reaction of everyone in the circle was to give Zhou Qing a thumbs up.
When it comes to cultural output, Director Zhou is truly the best and has completely lived up to his title of “the No. 1 Director in Chinese Entertainment.”
Three consecutive films were remade by Hollywood, Japan and South Korea, which shows its terrifying international influence.
Let’s ask, besides Director Zhou, who else is there?
Whether it's Zhang Chenfeng or Jiang Wen, or any other big director in the circle, is there anyone who can do such a thing?
Not to mention three films in a row, not even one film can be remade.
Director Zhou is amazing.
I just don’t know what the Korean remake of director Zhou’s classic movie “The Witch” will be like?
The Hollywood remake of "Source Code" was quite successful and was generally recognized by everyone.
As for the Japanese remake of "Your Name"...
Well, Your Name isn’t released yet!
But the director Shinkai Cheng is quite reliable, so I think it should be good.
Of course, the Korean director Park Hoon-jung who is in charge of the remake is also quite reliable. His "New World" has many fans even in Chinese entertainment.
Liu Yifei's fans were very excited and started discussing enthusiastically who in South Korea would be most suitable to play Liu Yifei's role.
There is also the killer played by Wang Baoqiang, whose evil and perverted style is not something that just anyone can play.
Everyone was having so much fun discussing it; it was so lively.
In addition, "Operation Red Sea" is also killing it in the film market, so Zhou Qing can be said to have stolen the limelight during this Lunar New Year period.
"Director Zhou."
"Director Wu Ershan."
After resting at home for a few days, Zhou Qing went to the Huairou Film and Television Base in early January.
What are you going to do?
Visit Liu Yifei on the set.
Now the whole circle knows that Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei are a couple, Zhou Qing no longer has to hide it like before. Instead, he can go see girls openly.
After receiving the news, director Wu Ershan stopped the filming and came to greet Zhou Qing in person.
The scene was extremely grand.
There is no way, because Zhou Qing is the exclusive producer, and he is also Wu Ershan’s mentor and benefactor.
No matter what his identity was, Wuershan could not neglect him.
It's not just him, it's the same for the entire "Mojin: The Lost Legend" crew.
Among the main actors, Liu Yifei and Huang Bo both have a close relationship with Zhou Qing, needless to say.
Chen Kun and Yang Tianbao also followed Wuershan eagerly.
That’s right, Yang Tianbao still plays Ding Sitian in "The Ghouls". This is Wu Ershan’s casting, so Zhou Qing naturally won’t interfere.
And to be honest, although Yang Tianbao's acting skills are terrible, he is still quite suitable to play Ding Sitian.
He has a good image and temperament, and there is no need to show off his acting skills too much.
Besides, since he was just a supporting role, it was impossible for Zhou Qing to interfere.
It doesn't work that way.
"Director Zhou, we have been shooting for more than a month and a half on Mojin: The Lost Legend, and we have completed about a quarter of it. It will take about five or six months to finish the whole shoot."
After briefly greeting Zhou Qing, Wu Ershan reported to Zhou Qing about the relevant matters of the crew.
For example, some shooting progress, some budget expenditures, etc.
Wu Ershan even took out some of his recently drawn storyboards for Zhou Qing to review.
Zhou Qing still believed in Wu Ershan's business ability, so he just went over it briefly to get a general idea of it.
After that, everyone started chatting with each other.
"Director Zhou, your Operation Red Sea is so amazing. In my opinion, it will easily break 40 billion."
Chen Kun couldn't help but let out such an exclamation, it was really astonishing.
40 billion. I dare not even think about it.
"The 40 billion will have to be discounted, but the 30 billion should not be a problem."
Director Zhou Qing is not the type to brag in front of others easily, and he is always humble.
"I think Old Zhu must be so happy now. He turned around and pushed me away."
Huang Bo couldn't help but complain harshly in front of Zhou Qing.
Even if the box office of "Operation Red Sea" cannot break 40 billion, there will be no problem for it to surpass "Dying to Survive".
"I was just saying that. Yawen has been showing off in the group these past two days. I don't want to talk to him anymore."
Liu Yifei also complained about Zhu Yawen.
Chen Kun and Yang Tianbao, who were watching from the side, were filled with envy.
These people have a really good relationship with Director Zhou.
It’s just a pity that this is something that outsiders can never replicate.
Chen Kun's words were better. After all, he had worked with Zhou Qing before, so he was familiar with him and they had a pleasant chat.
Yang Tianbao clearly felt that sense of distance.
Although Director Zhou was very polite and courteous to me, this kind of courtesy also meant a sense of unfamiliarity.
But Yang Tianbao will not be discouraged. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.
The first time is strange, the second time is familiar, right?
This time, it means that she and Zhou Qing have established a connection. Next time they meet, won’t they be acquaintances?
"Okay, you two can chat. I won't be your light bulb anymore."
After chatting briefly, Huang Bo patted his butt and left.
Chen Kun, Yang Tianbao and other people also tactfully began to say goodbye.
The space was specially reserved for Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei.
"In a few days, we will go to Hulunbuir Prairie."
The girl enthusiastically chatted with Zhou Qing about some things on the set.
It can be seen that the girl is quite looking forward to shooting at this location.
"Director Zhou, come, I'll toast you a glass."
"Come on, Aoko!"
In the evening, Zhou Qing had a meal with the main creators of the "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" crew.
There are not many people, just the director Wu Ershan, the three tomb-raiding lieutenants, and the actors who played important supporting roles such as Da Jin Ya and Ding Sitian.
Although it is the crew of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb", the most core character is undoubtedly Zhou Qing.
It's not just because of Zhou Qing's status in the circle, but also because Zhou Qing is also the screenwriter and exclusive producer of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb".
Then everyone has to serve with kindness, and the same goes for Wuershan.
"After 20 days of release, the total box office of Operation Red Sea has officially exceeded 30 billion yuan, and another movie that has broken 30 billion yuan has been born in China Entertainment."
"Operation Red Sea is a huge hit, with the total box office exceeding 30 billion and heading towards 40 billion."
"30 billion is just the beginning. Can the total box office of Operation Red Sea break 40 billion?"
On January 1, the industry was once again deeply shocked by "Operation Red Sea".
It’s nothing, the total box office of "Operation Red Sea" has exceeded 30 billion!
Although the industry had previously confirmed that the total box office of "Operation Red Sea" would exceed 30 billion, no one expected it to break the billion mark so quickly.
This amazing achievement was achieved in just 20 days.
It’s fierce. It’s really too fierce.
It's so fierce that it's hard to believe.
Let’s think about it again. There are only 10 days left in the release period of “Operation Red Sea”. Can it make another 10 billion yuan?
It may not be impossible!
You know, they made 20 billion in the first 30 days!
So, is there going to be another movie with a box office of 40 billion in the history of Chinese entertainment films?
What the hell!
When everyone thought of this, they couldn't help but secretly say "WTF" in their hearts. They were really shocked.
So what about the other blockbuster in the “Zhang-Zhou dispute”, Master Zhang’s masterpiece “The Great Wall”?
If you just look at the data of the film, it was actually quite impressive at the beginning.
The box office grossed 4.7 million yuan in the first week, which is nearly 5 million yuan.
Although it is a bit different from the 15 billion of "Operation Red Sea", compared with ordinary movies, it is already very, very good.
If this momentum continues, we can look forward to the box office of "The Great Wall".
But who can blame "The Great Wall" for its poor reputation and shrinking box office?
The box office in the first week was as high as 4.7 million, but as of January 1, it had only been released for more than 9 days, and there was only one week left before it was taken off the screen, and the total box office was only 9.5 million.
It’s less than 10 billion!
However, Zhou Qing's "Operation Red Sea" achieved this data in just 3 days.
So, in this "Zhang Zhou dispute", Master Zhang lost miserably again, and was beaten in all aspects by Director Zhou.
They are not even on the same order of magnitude or level as the opponents!
"Operation Red Sea" has already made an effort to reach the 40 billion box office, but "The Great Wall" is still striving for 10 billion.
What a miserable word.
