Chapter 481 The Wandering Earth is a huge hit, with a box office of 4 million yuan on the first day!

"Director Zhou, Zhang Wanyi is just a newcomer. Why did you choose him as the leading actor in your movie? Is it because he is a student of Beijing Film Academy?"

“There is a certain relationship. After all, I am also a director who graduated from Beijing Film Academy. When casting, of course I will be more inclined to Beijing Film Academy.

Of course, there is a prerequisite here, which is that your business capabilities must be up to standard.

I chose Zhang Wanyi, first because he has great acting talent, and secondly because he is a student of Beijing Film Academy. "

At the roadshow in Shanghai, Zhou Qing led the main creators of "The Wandering Earth" to carry out offline activities.

The overall atmosphere is so hot.

When faced with a slightly "sharp" question from the host, Zhou Qing admitted it without much hesitation.

There is nothing to hide. I am from Beijing Film Academy, so it is natural for me to lean towards it.

Zhang Wanyi, who was standing next to Zhou Qing, couldn't stop smiling. He felt so glad that he had made the decision to apply to Beijing Film Academy.

The same is true for Zhang Zifeng, who has just been admitted to Beijing Film Academy.

Director Zhou is so awesome that he actually admitted this in public.

When the interview gets out, it will definitely make the entire Beijing Film Academy excited, right?
This sentence will definitely bring a large number of students to Beijing Film Academy.

"Director Zhou, Shanghai Fortress was once a rival to your The Martian, but it only earned over 1 million yuan at the box office. What do you think of this?"

"This is the roadshow for The Wandering Earth. Please ask some questions about it."

It’s hard for Zhou Qing to comment on the huge failure of “Shanghai Fortress”.

The best thing to do is to ignore it.

"Director Zhou, Wu Jing is an artist from your company, but this seems to be your first time working with him. What do you think of Wu Jing's performance in the movie?"

"It's just so-so, a little worse than when he was a director."

Zhou Qing's "frankness" immediately caused laughter from the surroundings.

The atmosphere at the scene was so joyful.

"By the way, Wu Jing's Wolf Warrior 2 is about to start filming. I can guarantee that it will be even more exciting than the first one."

Zhou Qing also took the opportunity to promote Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2".

This is one of Zhou Qing Pictures' most important film projects, and it is also Liu Yifei's first work after returning to the mainland after becoming a Hollywood star.

Zhou Qing actually takes it very seriously.

"Director Zhou..."

"Director Zhou..."

There were various subsequent questions, and Zhou Qing was very active and proactive in cooperating in the interactions.

The atmosphere on the scene was completely heated up, and the audience's enthusiasm for "The Wandering Earth" was ignited.

Overall, although a little tired, Zhou Qing was still full of energy.

After taking a brief breath, he continued to rush to the next stop with the main creators.

This is Zhou Qing’s most important task in October.

Either on a roadshow or on the way to a roadshow.

As for the preparation work for "Changjin Lake", it can only be handed over to Huang Jianxin and other production teams.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing also specially sent his own production representative, and detailed communication was carried out beforehand, so that various situations could be shared in a timely manner.

Even if Zhou Qing is absent temporarily, it won't cause any trouble.

"Wu Jing's self-directed and self-acted "Wolf Warrior 2" has started filming, and 'China's No. Female Star' Liu Yifei surprisingly joins as the female lead."

"Liu Yifei's first work after returning from Hollywood fame, Wolf Warrior 2, has started filming. Wu Jing and Liu Yifei are a perfect match."

"After a month's delay, the total box office of Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World has successfully exceeded 50 billion!"

"The first movie in Chinese film history to break 50 billion box office was born, with a total box office of 51.2 billion!"

In the October film market, Zhou Qing Pictures can be said to be constantly dominating the screen.

Putting aside "The Wandering Earth", which has aroused high expectations from the entire entertainment industry, Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" has also started filming in a high-profile manner.

In fact, considering Wu Jing’s current rank and the achievements of his past works, people did not take "Wolf Warrior 2" seriously at the beginning.

Although Wu Jing is considered a well-known director in the circle, he does not even have a work that has grossed over 10 billion yuan.

The general perception is that "Wolf Warrior 2" and Wu Jing's other works are probably the same.

The box office is about 500 to 600 million.

It can be called a hit, but it is only a small hit at best.

In this era where the box office ceiling is 4 or 5 billion, it is really hard for people to take it seriously.

Of course, that was the case in the past. Now, the situation is somewhat different.

The heroine is Liu Yifei.

The girl has just successfully entered Hollywood with the two movies "Crazy Rich Asians" and "Divergent".

He became a Chinese Hollywood star who could truly carry the box office on his own, and became even more of a legend in the Chinese entertainment industry.

In this case, Liu Yifei's first appearance in a Chinese-language film is definitely a heavyweight.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Jing really got a great bargain.

This is basically the voice in the circle.

However, when "Wolf Warrior 2" is actually released, everyone will find out that it is hard to say who got the advantage.

Another thing is that "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" is really awesome.

The effect of the postponement is better than that of Zhou Qing’s other postponed films.

After only one month's postponement, the total box office successfully exceeded the 50 billion mark.

It not only set a box office record for animated films, but also set a box office record for Chinese-language films.

After "Operation Red Sea" and "The Martian" brought Chinese-language films into the 40 billion box office era, "Nezha" has taken the pace of Chinese-language films a big step forward.

Brought into the 50 billion era.

"One hundred million!"

"Fuck, Nezha has actually made over 50 billion!"

Many people in the circle were stunned, stunned and couldn't believe it.

Recalling that Zhou Qing’s “Operation Red Sea” broke 40 billion for the first time, shocking the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

But it has only been more than two years since then, less than three years.

The result is that the world has changed so much in such a short time!

The record of 40 billion has not been broken, and Chinese-language films have reached 50 billion.

This speed really makes it difficult for people to react.

However, the person everyone envied the most was not Jiaozi, but Zhou Qing.

As we all know, "Nezha" is an animated film produced exclusively by Zhou Qing Pictures.

With the box office soaring so quickly, how much money did Director Zhou make?
At least tens of billions, right?

hiss!
When they thought of this, many people gasped.

It's really too exaggerated for a movie to earn over ten billion yuan. It's like a joke.

Zhou Qing once again became the most envied person in the entire circle, no doubt about it.

Zhou Qing’s new film “The Wandering Earth” also attracted more attention.

Zhou Qing was very happy to hear about this, and Nezha gave him a helping hand invisibly. Not bad, not bad.

He continued to lead the main creators and devoted himself to various promotional activities of "The Wandering Earth" with greater enthusiasm.

However, at the end of October, Zhou Qing temporarily stopped this work.

Why?

It’s nothing, “The Wandering Earth” has started its premiere.

The film will be released in early November, and the premiere and other things must be arranged at the end of October.

"Director Zhou, I wish The Wandering Earth a big box office success."

“I wish The Wandering Earth will set a new record again!”

There is no need to say how lively the premiere was.

In terms of grandeur, it is the best in the entire Chinese entertainment industry. Even compared with Master Zhang's, it is even better.

In fact, Zhou Qing himself doesn't care much about this kind of thing.

But sometimes when you reach Zhou Qing’s level, you can no longer have the final say on many things.

Apart from anything else, if the lineup for the premiere of "The Wandering Earth" was not the best, several producers would not be happy.

Of course, the best movie should be accompanied by the best cast. Isn't this as it should be?
"Director Zhou, I heard that you have an agreement with Sony for a movie?"

The producer La Peikang was naturally indispensable. After chatting with Zhou Qing for a while, he suddenly spoke to Zhou Qing in a mysterious manner.

"Boss La, you are well-informed."

Zhou Qing glanced at La Pei with surprise.

He only obtained the license for the movie "Barbie" from Sony and has no plans to develop it yet.

Basically, no information was released, but La Peikang actually knew about it?

"I found out about this by accident when I went to Hollywood to deal with a problem half a month ago."

At this point, La Peikang couldn't help but complain to Zhou Qing, "Director Zhou, you hid it so well, not a single word leaked out."

"Boss La, we have only obtained the preliminary authorization, nothing has happened yet."

Zhou Qing explained to La Peikang with a wry smile.

La Peikang certainly knows this. After "The Wandering Earth", Zhou Qing will also direct "The Battle at Lake Changjin".

But what happened after "Changjin Lake"?

Can’t you just take the photo?
"When does Director Zhou plan to shoot? If you think about it carefully, Director Zhou hasn't made a co-production film in a few years since The Revenant, right?"

La Peikang said to Zhou Qing with sparkling eyes, and his meaning could not be more obvious.

La Peikang wanted to make another co-production with Zhou Qing, or rather, he was trying his best to make it happen.

Of course, La Peikang had already stepped down as chairman of China Film Group in August.

Even if Zhou Qing really wants to make a co-production film in the future, theoretically speaking, it will have no direct relationship with La Peikang.

But this did not hinder La Peikang's ambition.

Even though he has stepped down, it does not prevent La Peikang from operating.

You have to know that La Peikang and Han Sanping are different.

Han Sanping's style was too overbearing when he was in office, which really offended a lot of people, so he just stepped down.

But what about La Pekan?
Retreating is just a temporary retreat.

As a person who has been reborn, Zhou Qing knows that La Peikang was later re-employed and resumed his position as chairman of China Film Corporation.

Therefore, Zhou Qing was not satisfied with La Peikang's positive attitude even though he had already retired.

I just sigh in my heart that opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

La Peikang is still doing well after his retirement, which is completely different from Han Sanping, who is also the "former chairman of China Film Group Corporation". There is a reason for that.

"Boss, we haven't even started yet. Let's talk about it later."

Zhou Qing couldn't give a definite answer now, but he was thinking about it in his heart.

It is actually possible to make Barbie into a co-production, and there is absolutely no problem from a technical perspective.

Even in the original movie, there are Asian faces.

It is so easy to squeeze two Chinese actors in.

But I still say that, I really don’t know when this movie will be filmed, so don’t be in a hurry!
"Initially, no one paid much attention to the disaster."

“It’s just a wildfire, a drought, the extinction of a species, or news about a city.”

After finishing all the work that needed to be done, the long-awaited movie watching session finally happened.

As the dragon symbol flashed by, everyone in the theater subconsciously stopped talking and focused their attention on the big screen.

Whether Director Zhou’s second sci-fi blockbuster can replicate the glory of “The Martian” will soon be revealed.

At the beginning, many people did have this idea, but soon, everyone forgot about it.

There are no more thoughts in my mind.

There is no other reason, all everyone's energy and attention are spontaneously focused on the movie.

My whole mind was captured and completely immersed in the wonderful story of "The Wandering Earth".

It was as if I had become a part of the movie world. My mood rose and fell with the ups and downs of that world, and I was completely unaware of the passage of time.

It wasn't until the end credits flashed that I suddenly realized, is this the end?

That's it.

We haven’t seen enough!

"It looks great, it's really great!"

"To make a sci-fi blockbuster, it has to be Director Zhou!"

"Only Director Zhou can adapt Liu Cixin's novel well."

“It’s even better than The Martian. I must watch it again!”

Everyone in the theater was so unsatisfied, so unable to stop, so excited.

China now has its own science fiction blockbuster!

Compared to "The Martian", "The Wandering Earth" is a true science fiction visual effects blockbuster.

This film is definitely a milestone in Chinese entertainment.

Only Director Zhou can make a film like this!
Seeing the extremely heated reaction at the scene, La Peikang, Ye Ning and others couldn't help but smile.

With such a hot response, how could the box office of "The Wandering Earth" be bad?
Some of them are even ambitious and want "The Wandering Earth" to hit 50 billion!

The previous film, "The Martian," unfortunately stopped at 47 billion, which is very close to the 50 billion mark.

This "The Wandering Earth" is bound to break the 50 billion mark!
Not only La Peikang and his group, but even Zhou Qing himself had such ambition and confidence.

As I have said before, in the original time and space, "The Wandering Earth" was not favored at all at the beginning, with a box office of only 8000 million on the first day, ranking only fourth during the Spring Festival.

Even so, it still earned 46.87 billion in box office revenue.

How difficult is it for "The Wandering Earth", which is produced by Zhou Qing and is favored by the entire industry, to break 50 billion?

The facts have proved that this is indeed the case. After the release of "The Wandering Earth", the first day box office was quickly exposed.

A full 4.2 million! (End of this chapter)
