Chapter 508: "The Annual Meeting Cannot Stop" breaks million on the first day, Beijing�
"The first stop of the Beijing road show of "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop", Huang Bo's live 'talk show' was hilarious."
"The movie "Annual Meetings Can't Stop" was on the Chengdu roadshow, and Luyang and Huang Bo performed various activities to comfort the workers."
"Luyang's new film "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" is on the roadshow in Ji City. Huang Bo: I am average and can only be the king of the roll."
In mid-December, after a few days of rest, Lu Yang started to get busy.
Leading Huang Bo and other main creators, he began to carry out the corresponding publicity and promotion work with full force.
Produced by Zhou Qing Pictures, the film has big names in the industry from the director to the leading actors, and the level of "The Annual Party Can't Stop" itself is obvious.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the effect of publicity and promotion.
Judging from feedback from all sides, the data is quite good.
As long as the quality of subsequent films can keep up, Zhou Qing believes that the box office of "The Annual Party Can't Stop" will definitely be guaranteed.
So can the quality of "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" be guaranteed?
you still need to ask?
Under such circumstances, Zhou Qing handed the film to Lu Yang with complete confidence.
I didn't ask too much.
Instead, it was Wu Jing's "Shock Wave 2" that caught Zhou Qing's attention.
Why?
It’s simple, the filming of "Shock Wave 2" has been completed.
This guy Wu Jing limped into Zhou Qing Pictures.
"What happened? Are you injured again?"
Zhou Qing looked at Wu Jing's "miserable condition" and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It's really not easy for these action actors.
Which one of them didn't suffer injuries?
It’s okay if you are strong and healthy now, but it will be troublesome when you are old.
However, Zhou Qing was just expressing his feelings and didn't have any other thoughts.
Everyone chooses their own path. Wu Jing himself didn't say anything, so why is it Zhou Qing's turn to be pretentious?
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, it's nothing. When I was filming Wolf Warrior 2, I went into shock."
Wu Jing grinned, looking nonchalant.
"You, please take it easy from now on. I don't want anything to happen to Zhou Qing Pictures' movies."
Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly.
What's the point of showing off so proudly?
Although it is a good thing for actors to be dedicated to their work, there is a prerequisite: at least you have to ensure that you do not harm your body.
"What accident? Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Wu Jing curled his lips repeatedly.
"Anyway, you have your own ideas. Just use a stand-in when necessary. I have always been in favor of using a stand-in, as you know."
Zhou Qing emphasized this to Wu Jing again.
But Wu Jingting still didn't listen, and Zhou Qing was not clear.
"Director Zhou, I estimated that the post-production of Shock Wave 2 will take about three months to complete."
After some casual chatting, Wu Jing reported the relevant situation to Zhou Qing.
"There's no rush for this. Go back and heal your wound first."
Zhou Qing waved his hand and interrupted Wu Jing.
No matter how cruel he is, he would never let his men work while injured.
"It shouldn't delay the company's plans, right?"
Wu Jing didn't bother to be polite with Zhou Qing, he just confirmed with Zhou Qing.
"It's okay, just rest and recover."
Zhou Qing gave an affirmative answer.
Anyway, "Shock Wave 2" will definitely not be released in time for this year's Lunar New Year holiday, so it will have to be released in next year's summer holiday.
Wu Jing just needs to get the finished film out before then.
"Okay, I'll just rest for a while. This minor injury will heal in ten days or half a month. Then I'll start the post-production."
The matter was so happily agreed upon.
"Dad, Mom, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Why don't you stay for a while?"
After visiting his parents in the courtyard, the two elders made this request to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing was naturally very reluctant to let him go and tried to persuade him to stay.
"It's time to go back. We've been out for quite some time."
Dad shook his head and helped Mom pack up.
"Mom, wait a moment."
Zhou Qing held his mother down temporarily and began to persuade the two elders.
"If you go back now, will you have to come back after Xixi gives birth? That would be too much trouble."
"There are still a few months left. I can come back when the time comes. The restaurant at home has been closed for a month."
Another important reason why my parents are in a hurry to go back is that they can't give up the family business.
Zhou Qing actually understood this.
Although the restaurant at home is simple, it is the life's work of my parents, so naturally the old people are reluctant to give it up.
In fact, Zhou Qing has proposed many times over the years that he plans to open another restaurant for the two elders in Beijing.
But the two elders never agreed.
But now, Zhou Qing felt it was an opportunity.
"Dad, Mom, if it's up to you, I'd like to move our restaurant directly to Beijing. Xixi is going to give birth next year. Don't you want to spend the time with your grandson or granddaughter?"
"You said I'm a boss now, so busy with work every day, and Xixi is an actress, so she has to stay out for several months when filming... I won't have time to send my children to school in the future."
Zhou Qing continued to persuade the two elders earnestly.
This time, it was obvious that the lifeblood of the two elders was in their grasp.
"Qingzi is right. As grandparents, we can't ask grandma to help take care of the child, right?"
My mother nodded first and changed her position.
"Qingzi, do you really think I, your father, am capable?"
"We opened a restaurant in a small place like our hometown, and the neighbors came to support us, so we just did it."
"But in a city as big as Beijing? I don't have the ability to do that. What if I end up being alone..."
My dad was actually somewhat tempted, but he still had some concerns.
"Don't worry about management. We can hire professional managers."
"Find someone else to run our store? How can we be assured of that? Besides, how much would that cost?"
"Just relax, Dad. I'm still here for you..."
Wow, after talking so much and until my throat was dry, I finally succeeded in convincing my parents.
My parents immediately decided to transfer the restaurant after returning to their hometown.
Then I packed up and moved to Beijing, and started a new business in Beijing.
Although his father was reluctant at first, after he was persuaded, Zhou Qing clearly saw the light in his father's eyes!
It seems that opening a restaurant in Beijing actually touched my father's heart. "Director Chen."
In order to prevent his father from changing his mind and also to help his father, Zhou Qing did not hesitate.
He immediately instructed Director Chen to find relevant talents and start various preliminary preparations.
Including a series of issues such as market research and site selection.
When dad comes back, I'll just pick up the ready-made ones.
"The comedy film "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" premiered, the movie channel integrated media live broadcast, and the comedians performed clappers on the spot."
"The Annual Meeting Cannot Stop" premiered grandly, with Huang Bo and other main creators making their appearances."
On January 1th, Lu Yang’s “The Annual Meeting Can’t Stop” held a grand premiere.
Zhou Qing, the screenwriter and producer, did not attend the event, but chose to spend some time alone with Liu Yifei.
At his level, he basically doesn’t participate in general premiere events.
This is also true for movies produced by Zhou Qing Pictures.
At most, I would just post a Weibo to make a shout-out.
However, even so, given the level of the movie "The Annual Party Can't Stop", the entire industry still attaches great importance to it.
Many big stars and big investors were invited to appear at the premiere.
The effect of the whole event was very good.
When the movie was officially released on January 1, it earned 15 million yuan on the first day.
Although compared with the first-day box office of "Changjin Lake" which broke 6 million, and other first-day box office results of 5 million or 4 million, there is indeed a big gap.
But it is undeniable that this is also a rare good result in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
Since it broke 10 million on the first day, it will be easy for the total box office to break billion.
Even a hit of 20 billion is not impossible.
As I said before, even in 21 years, a box office of over 10 billion is not considered a lot.
Take the original time and space for example, there were only 10 domestic films with box office revenue exceeding 6 billion!
They are: "My Fathers and Me", "Raging Fire", "Chinese Doctor", "On the Cliff", "Assassination of Novelist" and "The Accidental Murderer 2".
Among them, the highest-grossing film is still "My Fathers and Me", with a total box office of only 14.77 billion, less than 15 billion!
From this we can see how difficult it is to make a movie that breaks 10 billion in box office.
Taking all these factors into consideration, the first-day box office of "The Annual Party Can't Stop" exceeded 100 million yuan, which can definitely be considered a hit.
Director Lu Yang is very satisfied.
The producer Zhou Qing was also very satisfied.
Moreover, as a reborn person, he is even more looking forward to the box office of "The Annual Party Can't Stop".
You have to know that in the original time and space, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" was actually not favored at the beginning.
It only earned 3600 million on the first day of its release, which was even worse than Andy Lau's terrible movie "Undercover".
It also failed to surpass "Twinkle, Twinkle Star" and "Gold Finger", and only ranked fourth in the Japanese box office.
However, thanks to its overwhelming reputation, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" quickly achieved a counterattack.
On just the fourth day, the daily box office reached 8400 million, firmly sitting on the top spot of the daily box office.
Until finally we achieved a good result of more than 12 billion.
It is exactly the same as the original "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".
But that was just the beginning.
What now?
With Zhou Qing as the screenwriter, Lu Yang as the director, and Huang Bo as the lead actor, the attention of "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" can be said to be full.
Naturally, it will not copy the original route of failing at the beginning and rising later, but will explode from the beginning!
Correspondingly, the total box office of "The Annual Party Can't Stop" should be higher.
Zhou Qing still has great confidence in this.
"Director Zhou, the roadshow of Watergate Bridge still needs your support!"
As "The Annual Party Can't Stop" is in theaters, several blockbuster films scheduled for the Spring Festival have also begun to enter a full-scale publicity and promotion state.
For example, Guoshi's "Sniper", Han Han's "Four Seas", Mahua's "The Killer Is Not So Calm", etc., all have invested huge resources.
Just waiting for the big hit on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Watergate Bridge" directed by Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian is no exception.
Old Monster Xu even called Zhou Qing specifically, wanting Zhou Qing to participate in the promotion and marketing.
Zhou Qing did not refuse this.
Although "Watergate Bridge" was basically directed by Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian, Zhou Qing also participated in it.
He is the chief director of both parts of "Changjin Lake"!
What's more, when "Changjin Lake" was released, Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian also rushed to participate in the roadshow.
Not to mention, "Watergate" is also a movie produced by Zhou Qing Pictures.
How could Zhou Qing not take it seriously?
He greeted Liu Yifei and also greeted Liu Xiaoli, asking them to take good care of the girl.
Then he joined the promotion and distribution of "Watergate Bridge" and started the roadshow with the main creators of "Watergate Bridge".
"Watergate Bridge was directed by Director Xu and Director Lin, while The Battle at Lake Changjin was directed by Director Zhou alone. So how did the directors ensure that the styles of the two films were consistent?"
The roadshow was also very lively. A reporter from Jiulang Entertainment asked a very interesting question.
"Director Zhou, why don't you tell everyone about it?"
Xu Ke was the first to make a gesture of invitation to Zhou Qing.
"Director Xu, Director Lin, you two should come."
Zhou Qing smiled and didn't steal the show.
"Watergate Bridge" is the home turf of Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian, so he certainly wouldn't steal the limelight from them.
Xu Ke did not bother to be polite with Zhou Qing. After a brief exchange of humility with Lin Chaoxian, he picked up the microphone.
“In fact, this problem is very simple, just two words: communication.”
“Before the official filming of ‘Changjin Lake’ began, the three of us directors had detailed discussions and communication during the entire preparation stage.”
“Even after we started filming, we still had meetings almost every day, and Director Huang Jianxin was responsible for real-time communication between the two groups.”
"..."
Under the gazes of everyone, Xu Ke began to talk.
"Ya Wen, Director Xu and Director Lin were in charge of the filming of Watergate Bridge, and Director Zhou was in charge of the filming of The Battle of Changjin Lake. Do you think there are any differences between these three directors?"
As the leading actor, Zhu Yawen is naturally the focus of the interview.
"The biggest difference is that Director Zhou and I are so familiar with each other..."
Zhu Yawen also made a joke on the spot, and a burst of laughter immediately broke out at the scene.
Everyone knows that Zhu Yawen is Director Zhou’s roommate, and they have maintained a good relationship since college until now.
This guy has become a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry now, and it was all thanks to Director Zhou who brought him up.
"Just kidding, in fact, all three directors are excellent directors, representing the highest level that Chinese-language film directors can achieve."
"But as for style, the three directors do have their own strengths."
"For example, Director Zhou, I am quite familiar with him and have worked with him a lot. He is like a robot and can accurately control every step."
"Director Xu is very good at applying modern film technology and controlling special effects and images for the film Watergate.
"What about Director Lin..."
Zhu Yawen began to brag about Zhou Qing and other directors. (End of this chapter)
