Chapter 488: "The Wandering Earth" loses its record, can "Detective Chinatown 3"

Chapter 488: "The Wandering Earth" loses its record, can "Detective Chinatown 3" break 50 billion?
Compared to Liu Yifei, Zhou Qing, a reborn person, is undoubtedly more optimistic about "Detective Chinatown 3".

You have to know that in the original time and space, the performance of "Detective Chinatown 3" was really amazing.

It was so poorly made that the score was only 5.3, not even up to the passing line.

It can be called a complete and utter bad movie.

Despite experiencing withdrawals and changes in schedule, the film still earned 45 billion at the box office!
This shows how strong the combat effectiveness of this series is.

At this moment, Zhou Qing personally took charge of the script and made great efforts to optimize it, and then combined it with Chen Sicheng's directing skills.

Zhou Qing is confident that the score of "Detective Chinatown 3" can reach above 7.5 points.

Absolutely excellent film.

In addition, after his own intervention, the box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" has exceeded 40 billion yuan, which is higher than the original time and space.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Zhou Qing is really looking forward to the future of "Detective Chinatown 3".

I even think that breaking 50 billion is not impossible.

Zhou Qing naturally wouldn't miss a film of this level.

So yes, "Detective Chinatown 3" is one of Zhou Qing Pictures' film plans for 20 years.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Qing will officially launch it after the force majeure event is alleviated.

So apart from "Detective Chinatown 3", does Zhou Qing Pictures have any other new film plans in its 20th year?

It really does.

It turned out to be another movie with great potential: "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop".

The film can be said to be a very high-quality satirical comedy. The original work was released in 23 and achieved a good result of 12.9 billion.

While the film was a huge hit at the box office, its word of mouth was also extremely strong.

With more than one million people rating it on a certain platform, it still managed to get a high score of 8.1.

This is enough to explain the problem.

As a reborn person, Zhou Qing naturally has to get such a high-quality movie.

The only problem is that I don’t know when Lu Yang’s “Assassination of Novelist” will be completed for post-production.

Although Zhou Qing has found a Hollywood team for Lu Yang, it can greatly shorten the post-production time.

But the workload of "Assassination of Novelist" is so high that Zhou Qing estimated that it would be impossible to complete it in the first half of the year.

This does not even include the impact of force majeure events.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Yang had a phone call with Zhou Qing some time ago. Considering the current severe situation in the country, the other party did not return home for the New Year.

But he has always stayed in Hollywood.

The policies there are relatively relaxed, so Lu Yang is still busy with the post-production of "Assassination of Novelist".

Zhou Qing secretly worried about this guy.

Zhou Qing also tried to persuade Lu Yang to return to China. After all, China is the best country in the world in terms of prevention and control.

But Lu Yang is an adult and has his own ideas. What else can Zhou Qing say?
We can only let Lu Yang stay in Hollywood and struggle.

So what about the movie prepared for Wu Jing?
Zhou Qing had actually thought about it a long time ago.

In addition to "The Wandering Earth 2" which has not yet been filmed, there is also "Shock Wave 2" for which the script has been written a long time ago, as well as classic action films such as "Raging Fire" that have been box office hits.

But Wu Jing definitely doesn’t have time to shoot this year.

The filming of his "Wolf Warrior 2" has not been completed yet, and with the post-production, it is possible that he may not be able to release the film this year.

In a nutshell, Wu Jing is very busy and has many movie schedules already filled.

Wu Jing couldn't take all the pictures.

Of course, this did not prevent Zhou Qing from writing the script first.

Anyway, due to practical reasons, he had to stay at home for a long time and had nothing to do except writing scripts.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Qing's efficiency can be said to be very high.

Although he and Liu Yifei were living in a world of two, Zhou Qing wrote scripts one after another.

There are both domestic and foreign films, all of which are high-quality movies copied by Zhou Qing with good box office and reputation.

Liu Yifei was stunned by what she saw.

"Zhou Qing, you are just a typing machine, right?"

The girls couldn't help but be amazed.

She knew that Zhou Qing was very good at writing scripts and could produce a high-quality script in ten days.

But this is something I have never seen before, where five scripts were written in one go within two months.

If another screenwriter were to do this, he wouldn't be able to write a single script.

Let’s say, do you really not need any ideas when writing a script?
Do you really have an inexhaustible supply of creativity in your mind, and you can keep writing as long as you want to?

Isn't this skill a bit too abnormal?

People in the circle have always known that Zhou Qing is the number one screenwriter, and some even call Zhou Qing the God of Screenwriting.

But Liu Yifei bet that those people had no idea of ​​Zhou Qing's true strength.

"I can't help it. I have so many ideas in my head. I can't suppress them!"

Zhou Qing tapped his temple lightly with his hand, looking very proud.

"Awesome, really awesome!"

This extremely pretentious remark was just a fact when applied to Zhou Qing. Liu Yifei really couldn't say anything else except shouting six six six.

"But Zhou Qing, you're obviously from the acting department, how come you're so good at writing scripts?"

The girl couldn't help but ask Zhou Qing this question again.

The acting department never taught how to write a script, right?

"Four words: gifted."

Zhou Qing uttered these four words in an unfathomable manner.

Liu Yifei also agrees with this.

Apart from this explanation, she couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation.

"Go change your clothes, or we'll be late."

After chatting with Liu Yifei for a while, Zhou Qing looked at the time and reminded the girl.

It is now the end of March, and all industries and sectors have already fully resumed work.

In fact, many industries resumed work in early March.

However, to be on the safe side, Zhou Qing scheduled the resumption of work of Zhou Qing Pictures to the end of March.

It goes without saying that all necessary protections are available.

In addition, Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" also resumed work in early March.

Logically speaking, the girl should join the filming crew with other people.

But that was the time when impossible events broke out, and various protection systems had not been established, so Zhou Qing "abused his power for personal gain."

He greeted Wu Jingna and asked him to adjust the shooting progress and delay Liu Yifei's joining the crew.

What else can Wu Jing do?
This is our boss!

People were considerate of the boss lady, so Wu Jing could only accept it.

Anyway, he is the director of the crew and he has the final say.

"Director Zhou."

After sending the girl on the plane, Zhou Qing also returned to Zhou Qing Pictures.

There are still a lot of things waiting for Zhou Qing.

The first and most important thing, of course, is the preparation work for "Changjin Lake".

In fact, preparations for "Changjin Lake" also began in early March, but on a small scale, not a large scale.

Until now, everyone has really let go and started to work. The previously interrupted casting has been picked up again, and other work has also begun to move forward in full swing.

At the same time, Zhou Qing also called Chen Sicheng over.

"Detective Chinatown 3", it's time to get started.

"Director Zhou, are you finally planning to produce Detective Chinatown 3?"

Chen Sicheng looked extremely excited when he came in front of Zhou Qing.

Even the mask couldn't hide the redness on his face.

The TV series "Detective Chinatown 2" has really inspired Chen Sicheng's ambitions and made him see the hope of competing with Zhou Qingban.

The total box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" has exceeded 40 billion yuan, so won't "Detective Chinatown 3" be able to exceed 50 billion yuan?
Wouldn't that mean he would be the only director in the entire entertainment industry who could compete with Zhou Qing?

When he thought of this, Chen Sicheng felt the blood in his body begin to boil.

"It's been more than a year since Detective Chinatown 2 was released, and it's time to shoot Detective Chinatown 3."

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

This made Chen Sicheng's heart surge even more.

"But Director Chen, have you finished your online drama Detective Chinatown?"

Before officially communicating about "Detective Chinatown 3", Zhou Qing first asked about the Chinatown Detective universe.

After the release of "Detective Chinatown 2" last year, Chen Sicheng started working on the "Detective Chinatown" web drama.

Zhou Qing knew that the filming had been completed in the second half of the year, but he was not sure whether the finished film would be released.

It is worth mentioning that the online drama of "Detective Chinatown" is no longer produced by Zhou Qing Pictures.

In other words, just like "Lost in Russia", it was all created by Chen Sicheng himself.

So even if the film comes out, Zhou Qing will not be allowed to review it.

"I finished my work at the beginning of this year and am just waiting for it to go online. Don't worry, Director Zhou, it won't delay Detective Chinatown 3."

Chen Sicheng immediately said to Zhou Qing with a solemn oath.

Zhou Qing didn't say much. He immediately asked his assistant to get the script of "Detective Chinatown 3" and gave it to Chen Sicheng.

Chen Sicheng couldn't wait to quickly browse through it, and his blood boiled even more.

Good book!
The script of "Detective Chinatown 3" is of the same high quality as always.

Director Zhou’s moves are indeed extraordinary.

Considering the terrifying appeal of the "Detective Chinatown" IP, even if the script is a piece of shit, Chen Sicheng is confident that it will be a big hit at the box office.

Not to mention the excellent scripts like today.

Chen Sicheng is becoming more and more confident that "Detective Chinatown 3" will break 50 billion.

"Director Zhou, the movie 'Changjin Lake' won't be shown during the Spring Festival this year, right? Then the box office champion 'Detective Chinatown 3' will be booked first."

Chen Sicheng confidently made such bold statements in front of Zhou Qing.

expanded.

It has to be said that the huge success of the two "Detective Chinatown" movies really made Chen Sicheng inflated.

At the moment, apart from Zhou Qing's films, he doesn't take anyone else's films seriously.

But the subject matter of "Changjin Lake" is quite special, and it is obviously aimed at the special period of National Day.

What's more, Chen Sicheng also knew something about "Changjin Lake". The film was too large and the production cycle was too long.

It will definitely not be able to catch up with this year's Spring Festival.

"Okay, I'll wait and celebrate for you then!"

Zhou Qing immediately smiled and encouraged Chen Sicheng.

However, as a person who has been reborn, he is skeptical about this.

There is no other reason. Jia Ling will appear in the next Spring Festival movie schedule.

The other party's directorial debut, "Hello, Li Huanying", raked in a box office of 54 billion yuan.

In the original time and space, this film was the annual box office champion in 21, ranking above "Detective Chinatown 3".

Of course, it is also above "The Wandering Earth".

Once the film is released, it will directly break Zhou Qing's record and become the new champion in film history.

I believe that by then, the circle will be very lively.

For "Detective Chinatown 3", it is definitely a powerful opponent that should not be underestimated.

Although Zhou Qing has optimized the script of "Detective Chinatown 3" at this moment, he also feels that the film has the potential to break 50 billion.

But Zhou Qing has no idea whether it can surpass "Hi, Mom".

But since Chen Sicheng has such great ambitions, it would be difficult for Zhou Qing to discourage his enthusiasm, right?
He is the producer of "Detective Chinatown 3"!
"Xiao Liu."

After Chen Sicheng left, Zhou Qing did not hesitate and immediately called his assistant over.

Instruct the other party to handle the filing and review matters of "Detective Chinatown 3".

Chen Sicheng was just as impatient as he showed, and immediately began to devote himself to the preparation of "Detective Chinatown 3" with great enthusiasm.

"Detective Chinatown 3 was surprisingly approved, with director Chen Sicheng and screenwriter Zhou Qingxi returning, making it the most anticipated film of the year."

"Zhou Qing Pictures launches the new film "Detective Chinatown 3", and the exciting Detective Chinatown series continues."

In early April, news about "Detective Chinatown 4" leaked out and immediately became a hot topic.

The attention of the entire circle was basically attracted.

Although there are only two movies in the "Detective Chinatown" series released so far, this is already a rare super IP in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

Especially last year's "Detective Chinatown 2" raked in 40 billion yuan at the box office, which established Detective Chinatown's transcendent status in one fell swoop.

In any case, this is also the first movie that can compete with Zhou Qing!
In this case, "Detective Chinatown 3" is undoubtedly a super beast.

It is the most important and top film project in the entire industry.

Especially because of Zhou Qing's intervention, the quality of both "Detective Chinatown" films is very high, and the second one did not decline.

Therefore, the audience's expectations for "Detective Chinatown 3" are much higher than the original one.

It is even more anticipated than "Changjin Lake" which Zhou Qing and others are currently preparing.

Comedy is always the most popular genre.

"Director Zhou, the tank props are ready."

The preparation work for "Changjin Lake" is still ongoing.

In addition to casting, chief director Zhou Qing also needs to take care of other tasks.

For example, Zhou Qing would definitely ask about the most important props.

Especially the costumes and props in "Changjin Lake" are relatively complicated.

Because it involves war, it means that a large number of weapons of various models have to be produced, and they cannot look too fake.

For example, the tank props that the props team reported to Zhou Qing.

Currently, all the tank props on the market are American tanks, and there are no Soviet tanks.

This means it has to be specially made.

Because of the high requirements for details, the director team required that this prop be not just a decoration, but one that can actually be used.

A prop like this would cost millions.

But you really can't save this money, you have to spend it.

There are many tank scenes in both parts of "Changjin Lake", so we can't fool around.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the preparation work.

It is no exaggeration to say that "The Battle at Lake Changjin" is definitely a rare large-scale production and a grand project in the history of Chinese-language films.
