Chapter 475: Liu Yifei's Deification: The No. 1 Actress in Chinese Entertainment, Sony's R

"Xiao Liu."

Zhou Qing Films, Zhou Qing called his assistant over.

Instruct the other party to handle the review and filing matters of "Assassination of Novelist".

Since Lu Yang has decided to start the film in March, Zhou Qing will naturally not hold him back.

But Zhou Qing was too lazy to ask about other things.

Just leave it all to Luyang.

At most, he told Director Chen to fully support Lu Yang's work.

Lu Yang is now an important director of Zhou Qing Pictures, and "Assassination of Novelist" is the first film released by Zhou Qing Pictures in 19 years.

Director Chen dared not be negligent in any way.

It can be said that he put all his energy into carrying out the corresponding operations together with Lu Yang.

"Director Zhou, Director Lu said I'm the heroine in "Assassination of Novelist"!"

Zhao Liying received the notice early and happily ran to Zhou Qing to share her joy.

Speaking of which, she and Lu Yang can indeed be considered "old partners".

They have collaborated on hit movies such as "20 Again", "Time Raiders", and "Life Events".

Of course, Zhao Liying is full of boundless expectations for partnering with each other again.

Although this time the script is no longer written by Director Zhou, but by Lu Yang.

But Zhao Liying believed that the script that Lu Yang came up with would not be bad.

To be honest, Lu Yang is now an extremely important director and a well-known figure in the Chinese entertainment industry.

He has directed several movies that have grossed over 10 billion yuan, including "Time Traveler", "Life Events", and "Nobody".

The total box office of "Life Events" has exceeded 20 billion.

Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, this result is still very impressive.

Zhao Liying believes that this "Assassination of Novelist" is sure to be a hit.

"If you play Liying well, "Assassination of Novelist" will basically be a hit."

Zhou Qing encouraged Zhao Liying.

This made Zhao Liying feel even more inexplicably excited.

Even Director Zhou has said so. Is there any doubt that "Assassination of Novelist" will be a huge hit?
of course not!

With infinite longing and full of enthusiasm, Zhao Liying began to cooperate with Lu Yang to make corresponding preparations.

Especially the script. Before joining the crew, Zhao Liying decided to read it over and over again.

Of course, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that you can recite it by heart, but being able to recite it fluently and understanding it seriously is the minimum requirement.

"Director Zhou, the script for Wolf Warrior 2 is complete."

Wu Jing is a guy who keeps his word. He said he would complete the task this month and he did it this month without any delay.

With a hint of anticipation, Zhou Qing immediately reviewed the script written by the other party.

Well, there are definitely flaws.

But its degree of completion is much higher than Lu Yang's "Assassination of Novelist".

In any case, the original version of "Wolf Warrior 2" also scored over 7 points.

However, for Zhou Qing, who always strives for perfection, he also pointed out some shortcomings in the script of "Wolf Warrior 2".

"When it comes to screenwriting, it still has to be you, Director Zhou."

Wu Jing immediately listened to Zhou Qing's advice with an open mind, which was absolutely sincere from the heart.

Director Zhou is the number one screenwriter in the Chinese entertainment industry!

The God of Screenwriting recognized by everyone.

Not everyone has the qualifications and opportunity to receive guidance from such a top master.

Therefore, Wu Jing certainly values ​​Zhou Qing's opinion.

"Give me another month and I will polish Wolf Warrior 2 in its entirety."

Wu Jing also left with full energy.

Zhou Qing’s opinions were very detailed, like a step-by-step “guide”.

Wu Jing believes that after further polishing, the script will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

"Director Zhou, I plan to start the online drama of Detective Chinatown this year."

Chen Sicheng, who was in high spirits, reunited with Zhou Qing after finishing some chores.

In addition to reporting the good results of "Detective Chinatown 2" to investor Zhou Qing, there are some other related matters.

For example, the Tang Detective Universe that Chen Sicheng mentioned to Zhou Qing before.

Zhou Qing naturally had no objection to this.

If Chen Sicheng is willing to make trouble, then let him make trouble.

Anyway, for Zhou Qing, it is a hundred benefits with no harm.

"By the way, Director Zhou, Detective Chinatown is doing so well right now, there should be a sequel, right?"

Only after they had finished talking did Chen Sicheng carefully confirm the matter with Zhou Qing.

This is the issue that Chen Sicheng is most concerned about.

"Detective Chinatown 2" is currently gaining so much momentum, and its potential has been far from being fully tapped.

He believed that if the third film was released, the box office would be even more popular.

"I do have plans to make Detective Chinatown 3, but not now."

Facing Chen Sicheng's extremely eager gaze, Zhou Qing nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

Only then did Chen Sicheng feel completely relieved.

I wish there was a sequel!

Chen Sicheng is counting on "Detective Chinatown 3" to go one step further.

Little did Zhou Qing tell Chen Sicheng that he was not only planning to produce "Detective Chinatown 3", but also "Detective Chinatown 1900".

Even "Detective Chinatown 1900" can be turned into a new trilogy series.

Zhou Qing believed that as long as he made the script solid, the box office would definitely not be bad.

You have to know that in the original time and space, "Detective Chinatown 1900" encountered a super-comparable movie like "Nezha 2", but it also won a box office of 35 billion yuan.

Blockbuster films released at the same time, such as "Fengshen 2", "Operation Dragon", "The Greatest Hero", etc., were all defeated and had no power to fight back.

Only "Detective Chinatown 1900" has remained strong until the end, which shows its strong strength.

The brand value of the "Detective Chinatown" IP is so terrifying.

"Divergent, starring Liu Yifei, was a huge hit at the box office, taking in 2280 million US dollars on the first day and becoming the box office champion."

"Liu Yifei's new film is a hit again! Divergent is a huge hit at the North American box office, grossing 5600 million US dollars in its first weekend!"

In mid-March, "Divergent" starring Liu Yifei landed in major theaters in North America, immediately making the entire Chinese entertainment industry excited.

The kind that's so exciting that you can't help it.

Because of the special nature of "Divergent", even though it is a Hollywood movie, people in the Chinese entertainment industry are also paying close attention to it.

Whether Liu Yifei falls from the altar or takes another step forward depends entirely on the performance of this film.

Now the real data is thrown out directly, it’s explosive!
It exploded again.

The new movie starring Liu Yifei is a hit again.

The Crazy Rich Asians starring him was a hit, but this Divergent is even more popular.

Not only did it win the box office championship in the same period, its first-day box office of 2280 million was nearly 1000 million more than that of "Crazy Rich Asians"!

In other words, Divergent was a much bigger hit than Crazy Rich Asians.

The entire Chinese entertainment industry is no longer calm.

Liu Yifei is about to ascend to heaven.

If the huge success of "Interstellar" only made Liu Yifei a familiar face in Hollywood and allowed her to enter Hollywood for the first time.

Crazy Rich Asians made Liu Yifei a real star in Hollywood. What about Divergent now?

It allowed Liu Yifei to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood and become a truly influential Chinese actress.

Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, Liu Yifei is the number one.

Even Gong Huang and Zhang Guoji had not done such a thing.

Liu Yifei is the first female star in the entire history of Chinese entertainment film who can truly carry the box office in Hollywood alone.

There will never be another one.

From this perspective, Liu Yifei has reached the same level as Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.

These two are also the only two Chinese male stars who can truly carry the box office alone.

So, this drama "Divergent" really made Liu Yifei a legend.

If Zhou Qing is the number one director in Chinese entertainment, then Liu Yifei is the number one female star in Chinese entertainment!

The four Dans and two soldiers, and even the two big mountains of Gong Huang International and Zhang, were all trampled under the feet of Liu Yifei.

It is precisely because of these factors that one can easily imagine how great an impact Liu Yifei has had in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Anyway, the Chinese entertainment industry is really booming right now.

What about in Hollywood?

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Yifei to cause such a big impact.

But it is an indisputable fact that he struck while the iron was hot and became a rising star in Hollywood.

But he is not even second-tier, only third-tier, and can be considered a new star.

The truth is so cruel.

It is so difficult for Chinese people to survive in Hollywood.

"Zhou Qing, that's great, Divergent is a big hit at the box office again!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but call Zhou Qing, her voice was full of excitement.

God bless you, Liu Yifei was still a little worried until "Divergent" was officially released.

Now I have finally let it go completely.

It’s done.

His second shot in Hollywood was a successful one.

This movie was the one that really made Liu Yifei famous in Hollywood.

Thinking about the fact that "Divergent" is still a series and the sequel is about to start shooting, Liu Yifei feels that she is full of strength.

Even she, who has always been a Buddhist and indifferent person, is getting ready to try.

……

The box office performance of "Divergent" in North America is still very good.

In just half a month, the total box office has exceeded 1.6 million yuan, and the data in all aspects are better than "Crazy Rich Asians".

If the current momentum continues, there will be no problem for "Divergent" to exceed 3 million in total box office.

Don’t underestimate the box office of 3 million.

This level of box office is already a sure hit in North America.

It will definitely make Crown Pictures a lot of money.

In the original time and space, this series of films is Lionsgate's most profitable film after "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight".

Now, the situation is similar.

It is the third most profitable film series under Crown Pictures.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that Crown Pictures is still very enthusiastic and positive about the development of the sequel.

Of course, the same is true for Liu Yifei.

After resting in Hollywood for more than half a month, it was only April, and we started filming "Divergent 4" before "Divergent" was even released.

"Divergent 1" is off to such a good start that I am full of endless expectations for the two subsequent sequels.

"Director Zhou, there is something I need to report to you."

It was also at this time that Director Yang's negotiations with Sony made substantial progress.

"The current negotiations have made substantial progress, but Sony still has one condition."

"They want you, Director Zhou, to personally adapt the film, including writing the script and directing the film. They want you to do it."

Director Yang said this to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Sony's conditions were exactly what Zhou Qing wanted.

Zhou Qing had originally planned to personally produce this explosive film.

"I agree to this condition."

Zhou Qing said to Director Yang without thinking.

Director Yang responded and continued to work on his various tasks.

The same is true for Zhou Qing.

The most important work is naturally the post-production of "The Wandering Earth".

But at the same time, there are also some other miscellaneous things.

For example, Zhou Qing has been paying close attention to the box office performance of "Detective Chinatown 2".

Like Chen Sicheng, he hopes that the film can break 40 billion.

But unfortunately, like "The Martian", "Detective Chinatown 2" also had poor box office performance after the postponement.

The delay of one month has delayed the total box office revenue by tens of millions.

Less than 100 million.

In other words, the total box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" was only more than 39 billion yuan, and did not reach 40 billion yuan as expected.

Without much hesitation, Zhou Qing went to China Film Corporation again and applied for a second extension.

If one month doesn’t work, then try another month!

Anyway, at present, "Detective Chinatown 2" is only about 40 million away from breaking the billion mark.

It's really just the finishing touch.

Another month later, it's still very possible.

Facts also proved that Zhou Qing's guess was correct, or that he was just lucky.

By the time "Detective Chinatown 5" was completely taken off the screen in May, the total box office had reached 2 billion!

It really broke 40 billion!

"The third 40 billion box office movie in the history of Chinese entertainment has been born, and the total box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" has exceeded 40.6 billion!"

"After Operation Red Sea and The Martian, Detective Chinatown 2 once again took in 40.6 billion yuan at the box office."

The news spread throughout the entire Chinese entertainment industry immediately.

"Detective Chinatown 2" instantly became the most eye-catching star in the circle, no doubt about it.

This is the first and only movie directed by another director, other than Director Zhou, to have grossed over 40 billion yuan.

How can it not be all over the Chinese entertainment industry?
Director Chen Sicheng entered the 40 billion director club through this film, and it can be said that he reached the peak of his life.

It's not an exaggeration.

The male lead, Wang Baoqiang, has also made a strong entry into the 40 billion actor club and has become one of the strongest men in the Chinese entertainment industry.

All in all, all the people involved in "Detective Chinatown 2" really stole the show.

At the celebration banquet, director Chen Sicheng even announced that there will be a third film in the "Detective Chinatown" series.

It further pushed its popularity to a peak.

Although no relevant information about "Detective Chinatown 3" has been leaked, it has already whetted everyone's appetite.

It has become a well-deserved super heavyweight project in the entire circle. (End of this chapter)
