Chapter 434: 40 billion box office is nothing, the Hollywood blockbuster that set off the Chinese en

"Fuck, Operation Red Sea has really broken 40 billion!"

"Amazing! The box office of Chinese-language films can reach 40 billion these days!"

"40 billion box office, this is too scary!"

For a moment, the entire circle was filled with the sound of people gasping for air.

Whether they are fellow directors, big investors, or big stars.

Every one of them was blinded by the number 40 billion, which shines like the sun.

40 billion!

What a joke!
Today, Chinese entertainment has just entered the 30 billion box office era, and even the only movie with a 30 billion box office is Director Zhou’s "Dying to Survive".

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Director Zhou brought China Entertainment into the 40 billion box office era?
If you hadn't seen the data with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed it. After all, it's really too exaggerated.

Especially those fellow directors, while being extremely shocked, they also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Not to mention 40 billion, most directors can’t even break 10 billion at the box office!
A box office of over 10 billion is already an extremely good result.

There are only a few films throughout the year.

Take the past 16 years for example, there were only two movies whose total annual box office exceeded 10 billion: "Operation Mekong" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles"!
There is nothing else!

Of course, in the original time and space, "The Man from Macau 3" and "Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon" both broke 10 billion.

However, due to the release of "Dying to Survive", these two films took away market share, so both of them failed to break 10 billion.

But even if these two movies are included, there were only four billion-level movies in 16 years.

What about 15 years?

The situation is not much better.

There are only four movies: "Charlotte's Troubles", "The Pancake Man", "Ip Man 4" and "Detective Chinatown".

Among them, "Ip Man 4" and "Detective Chinatown" were both produced by Zhou Qing Pictures.

From this we can see that the 10 billion box office threshold is already a huge mountain standing in the way of filmmakers in the industry.

As for the 20 billion box office?
Well, that is really something that only the super boss standing at the top of the Chinese entertainment pyramid can do.

Or in other words, he is a lucky person who has all the right time, place and people.

For example, "Monster Hunt" and "Lost in Hong Kong" which became a big hit relying on the "囧" IP effect.

30 billion box office?
That is something that even a great star like Stephen Chow cannot do, let alone others.

40 million?
This is simply a dream, it is too daunting to even think about.

"40 billion box office! This is too exaggerated!"

Like everyone else, Zhang Guoshi was deeply shocked by the 40 billion box office of "Operation Red Sea".

Although the industry had previously predicted that the total box office of "Operation Red Sea" would exceed 40 billion.

But when the box office of "Operation Red Sea" came out at 41.6 billion, Master Zhang still couldn't remain calm.

This is a mainstream blockbuster.

There has never been any market potential.

As a result, when Zhou Qing filmed it, it made a shocking 40 billion at the box office!
Isn't this too exciting?
I can’t hold it anymore, I really can’t hold it anymore.

Master Zhang has been around all his life and has been the "king" of Chinese entertainment all his life, but his box office has not yet exceeded 20 billion.

As a result, their business has exceeded 40 billion.

Master Zhang, as one of the top directors in mainland China, was so badly surpassed by Zhou Qing that he couldn't even see the taillights of Zhou Qing's car.

What's even more fucked up?
Zhang Guoshi's "The Great Wall" was also released on January 1, with a total box office of 16 billion yuan.

It did break 10 billion, but it only just broke 10 billion.

Compared with "Operation Red Sea", the film involved in the "Zhang Zhou dispute", the box office is 30 billion less.

Although Master Zhang had long lost hope in the domestic market, he placed his last hope on the global market.

But this face was indeed slapped and made a loud noise.

It's embarrassing. It's really too embarrassing.

Even though Master Zhang is ranked below Zhou Qing, he wouldn't be left behind by such a huge gap of 30 billion.

Embarrassingly capitalized.

"40 billion box office! Operation Red Sea really broke 40 billion!"

In stark contrast to Master Zhang's reaction, La Peikang's face was filled with nothing but smiles.

Her smile was as bright as the sunshine in June, extremely bright.

This is the first movie in the history of Chinese entertainment to break the 40 billion box office mark. For La Peikang, this is a huge achievement!

The kind that would make Lapekhan brag about it.

It was also enough to make the leaders above praise La Peikang highly.

In fact, as early as when "Operation Red Sea" swept the market, La Peikang was specifically praised by the authorities.

Recently, La Peikang has really become the talk of the town in China Film Group with the movie "Operation Red Sea".

It allowed him to fully enjoy the time when Han Sanping was in high spirits at China Film.

Thinking back to when he first took office, he immediately established a good relationship with Zhou Qing through Han Sanping and tied Zhou Qing to his chariot, La Peikang felt very fortunate.

That was definitely the best decision I have ever made in my life.

With Zhou Qing as his support, La Peikang's future career path will be extremely smooth.

"The Navy must be going crazy with joy, right?"

When La Peikang thought of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh out loud.

Even the China Film Corporation, which specializes in movies, is like this, not to mention the Naval Political Department Television Art Center, which specializes in TV dramas.

That’s right, “Naval Political Department Television Art Center”, just by looking at the name, you can tell that they are in the TV drama circle.

"Operation Red Sea" is the other party's first foray into the film industry.

I didn't expect it to explode like this all of a sudden.

La Peikang's prediction was absolutely correct. Director Zhao and other people from the Naval Political Department Television Art Center were indeed going crazy.

Being alive and happy.

They had never made a movie before, but they broke the record in Chinese entertainment history right after they started?
Don't be so exaggerated!
Director Zhao and others felt like they were dreaming.

However, for these people, they are not just excited about the huge commercial success of "Operation Red Sea".

I am even more excited about the meaning behind "Operation Red Sea".

This movie is an authentic naval propaganda film!
A film promoting the navy has become a huge hit in the market, which is of great significance to the navy.

It is precisely because of this that Director Zhao and others have all made great contributions!
Promotion and salary increase, reaching the peak of life, is just around the corner.

"40 billion, damn, am I now the leading man of a 40 billion box office?"

Zhu Yawen on the set of "Life Events" was so excited that he couldn't help but swear.

There's no way. Any normal person wouldn't be able to remain calm at this time, so Zhu Yawen's reaction is understandable.

Fortunately, Zhu Yawen couldn't sleep for several days because he became the 30 billion male lead.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, he became the leading actor of a 40 billion box office?
He is also the first and only male lead in a movie with a box office of 40 billion yuan in China Entertainment.

Just ask about this achievement, who else can compare with it?

Even Huang Bo, the leading actor in a movie with a box office of 30 billion, can’t do it!
That's right, although Zhu Yawen has not starred in a movie with a box office of 10 billion or 20 billion, this "Operation Red Sea" is enough to beat them all.

What does it mean to reach the top in one step?
Zhu Yawen, this is called a quick success!
The huge success of "Operation Red Sea" has made Zhu Yawen the most popular male star in the circle, no doubt about it.

“It really broke 40 billion, not bad.”

As a person who has been reborn, Zhou Qing was naturally very happy to see this data.

But the overall reaction was relatively calm, and it could even be said that the 40 billion figure was not surprising.

After all, in the original time and space, although "Operation Red Sea" was not well received at the beginning, its total box office was as high as 36 billion.

As mentioned before, "Operation Red Sea" did not have a good start in the original time and space, with a box office of only 1.29 on the first day!

There is another point that cannot be ignored. In the original time and space, "Operation Red Sea" had two powerful opponents.

They are "Detective Chinatown 33.98" with 2 billion and "Monster Hunt 22.37" with 2 billion respectively.

These two blockbusters were released on the same day as "Operation Red Sea".

Needless to say, how much impact it can have on "Operation Red Sea"

But what about now?

Because of Zhou Qing's involvement, "Operation Red Sea" has attracted much attention in the circle since its inception.

Its only rival is Zhang Guoshi's "The Great Wall".

Taking all these factors into consideration, is it any wonder that the total box office of "Operation Red Sea" has exceeded 40 billion?
It can be said that this is completely reasonable.

Zhou Qing didn't worry about this kind of thing at all. He just ate and drank as usual and continued to enjoy his life.

However, due to the huge success of "Operation Red Sea", Zhou Qing could not have any peace at all.

I don’t know how many people in the circle called to congratulate me.

In addition, there is the celebration banquet for "Operation Red Sea", which of course has to be held in a grand manner.

There's no way around it. The entertainment industry is all about appearance and pomp.

Especially for a film of the same level as "Operation Red Sea", it needs to be handled with great fanfare.

Otherwise it really doesn't make sense.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing only needs to give instructions for such matters and can completely leave it to Director Chen and other relevant staff.

There is no need for Zhou Qing to worry about it himself.

He just needs to continue living the boring life that only belongs to a boss.

Therefore, Zhou Qing's next arrangement was very clear:
On January 1, he attended the celebration banquet for "Operation Red Sea" and after that began to enjoy his "annual leave".

After all, January 1th is New Year’s Eve.

Although the statutory holiday is still a few days later, Zhou Qing, as the boss, can naturally give himself a holiday.

I can only say that the boss is so willful.

"Disney announces live-action version of Mulan, Niki Caro confirmed as director."

"Starting today, Disney will launch a global casting audition for the live-action version of Mulan, with Chinese people from all over the world receiving special attention."

"The casting requirements mainly include the following three points: having a solid foundation in martial arts, being fluent in English, and having a star quality."

Before the celebration banquet even started, a piece of information from Hollywood ignited the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

To be more precise, it has severely stimulated all the female celebrities in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

What the hell?
"Mulan" is actually going to be made into a live-action film?

Are Disney starting to hire Chinese people to play Disney princesses?
This is fucking awesome. This is a huge bonus for all the female stars in the Chinese entertainment industry.

For a long time, Chinese stars, unless they are very top-notch stars, have not been able to get the resources in Hollywood.

Looking at the Chinese entertainment industry over the years, at most there have only been two people, Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie.

These two are true Hollywood stars, the kind that have influence and appeal in Hollywood.

Apart from these two, there was no one else.

As for the female stars?

The situation is much worse.

Although Yang Ziqiong has played the female lead in "007" and Zhang Ziyi has become an international celebrity, do these two really have influence in Hollywood?

Can we really get Hollywood resources?
Everyone knows the answer very well.

Even the other people in the Four Dan and Double Bing, such as Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing, and even Zhou Xun.

Then in a Hollywood movie, he could only get a supporting role.

For example, Li Bingbing played supporting roles in "Resident Evil" and "Transformers 4".

Fan Bingbing even had cameo appearances in "Iron Man 3" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past".

Zhou Xun also played a cameo role in "Cloud Atlas".

Counting on my fingers, there are only supporting roles and soy sauce, not even a female lead.

Even top female stars like Sidi and Shuangbing are like this, let alone others?
The only person who has actually played the female lead is Liu Yifei.

That’s because of Zhou Qing.

Although other actors in the circle envy Liu Yifei's resources, they are also very clear that if Director Zhou really has those Hollywood resources, he will not give them to others for free.

Therefore, Hollywood's resources are truly an insurmountable mountain in front of Chinese entertainment stars.

The kind that you can only look up to and fantasize about, but really cannot touch.

But what about now?

An opportunity to play the leading role in a Hollywood movie has arrived.

And it's not just an ordinary Hollywood movie, but a top-notch film resource such as Disney's live-action film.

The director even explicitly stated that Chinese actresses are given priority!

Good guy.

What a great guy.

All the female stars in the entire Chinese entertainment industry are going crazy. This is simply pie in the sky.

Especially those actresses who met the three conditions set by Disney, their hearts couldn't help but pound.

Can I audition for Disney too?

I dare not think about it. How could I have dared to think about this before?
It’s like a dream!
"She knows martial arts, speaks English, and has a celebrity temperament. Isn't this Liu Yifei?"

Liu Yifei’s fans were very excited.

Don’t these conditions accurately “lock in” Liu Yifei?
The TV series that Liu Yifei starred in when she debuted, such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes", both have fighting scenes.

Especially in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", the fighting scenes are quite dense.

Later, he also starred in "The Witch", and contributed some wonderful fighting scenes.

Liu Yifei has absolutely no problem with martial arts scenes.

As for knowing English?
Well, he was originally an American, and later changed back to Chinese nationality.

Star quality?

Not to mention, Liu Yifei has starred in Nolan's "Interstellar".

In terms of international fame, who else can compete with it?
No matter how you look at it, the role of Hua Mulan seems to be tailor-made for Liu Yifei. (End of this chapter)
