Chapter 528 Zhou Qing's new film "The Wandering Earth 2", the male and female protago
Looking at the entire history of Chinese entertainment films, let’s take stock of the awesome series of movies.
No matter how you count it, the "Detective Chinatown" series will definitely be on the list.
Except for the first "Detective Chinatown", every other movie in the "Detective Chinatown" series has had a huge box office.
The key point is that even though several films have sold out in succession, the audience's enthusiasm for "Detective Chinatown" has never diminished.
Even when Zhou Qing was reborn, the series only reached "Detective Chinatown 1900".
But Zhou Qing believes that if a sequel to "Detective Chinatown 1900" is made, the box office will definitely not be bad.
Even if "Detective Chinatown" continues to have a fourth season, the audience will still buy it.
As the boss of a film and television company, how could Zhou Qing miss such a top project?
Zhou Qing will definitely make "Detective Chinatown 1900".
Not only does Zhou Qing want to make it, he also plans to turn it into a series!
Of course, "Detective Chinatown 4" is also in Zhou Qing's plan.
Because the story of "Detective Chinatown 3" is obviously not finished.
However, after some thought, Zhou Qing decided to produce "Detective Chinatown 1900" first, just like in the original time and space.
Then we will make "Detective Chinatown 4".
So yes, "Detective Chinatown 1900" is one of Zhou Qing Pictures' key film projects this year.
So what about Zhou Qing?
What kind of movie is he going to make?
It’s very simple, it must be "The Wandering Earth 2".
Considering Zhou Qing's current level, he is not suitable to shoot ordinary movies anymore.
The ones that best fit its level are top-notch productions with huge box office potential.
"The Wandering Earth 2" is the best choice.
Of course, there is also "The Wandering Earth 3" coming later.
After that, it's Hollywood's "Telekinesis," and at most "Wicked."
By the time all these movies were finished, Zhou Qing, the reborn man, had run out of ideas in his brain.
If he makes another movie, he will have to create his own original work.
Fortunately, Zhou Qing’s skills have now been maxed out, his reputation at home and abroad has almost reached its peak, and his appeal is unparalleled.
In this case, the risk of failure is small even for original films.
Of course, these are all things to come. For now, Zhou Qing should focus on filming "The Wandering Earth 2" first.
However, no matter how the movie is filmed, there is one thing that needs to be communicated with Liu Yifei in advance.
Because the heroine of "The Wandering Earth 2" is still very suitable for girls.
Zhou Qing had to ask Liu Yifei for her opinion.
If Liu Yifei is willing to act, then the heroine role will undoubtedly be Liu Yifei.
But if Liu Yifei doesn't want to act, that doesn't matter, Zhou Qing can just find someone else.
Anyway, Zhou Qing is the boss, so this matter can be easily settled.
"The Wandering Earth 2?"
After returning to the luxurious villa and telling Liu Yifei about everything, the girl fell into deep thought.
If it was any other movie, she would have definitely turned it down.
The girl is not that ambitious in her career, and now her child is still young, so she definitely wants to spend more time with him.
But if it is "The Wandering Earth 2", Liu Yifei is really conflicted.
It’s nothing but "The Wandering Earth 1", which grossed over 50 billion yuan at the box office.
Then this sequel will definitely be a super hit of the same level.
No matter how Buddhist a girl is, it is hard not to be moved when she sees such a cheating movie.
Even though the girl already has a great movie "Wolf Warrior 2", she can't remain indifferent to "The Wandering Earth 2".
"When will you shoot this movie?"
So after hesitating for a while, the girl decided to ask Zhou Qing for further information.
"It will take at least the second half of the year. This movie is quite large and the preparatory work is expected to take half a year."
"Wu Jing plays the male lead, and his film 'Raging Fire' won't be released until August."
"Even if everything goes well, The Wandering Earth 2 won't start filming until September or October."
Zhou Qing gave it a quick calculation and told Liu Yifei the relevant situation.
At that time, it had been more than a year since Liu Yifei gave birth, and her body had long since fully recovered.
There's no problem with filming a movie or something.
The only problem is that my son Zhou Jun is still young and I am a little worried.
But actually the problem is not that big.
Because "The Wandering Earth 2" is also shot in a studio, Zhou Qing can just go to the digital base of China Film to shoot.
No one has to leave the capital.
Moreover, because Zhou Qing is the director and has the final say over the entire crew, he can easily arrange for Liu Yifei to shoot only half a day a day.
Leave enough time for Liu Yifei to accompany the children.
What?
Is this unfair to other actors?
Zhou Qing said he couldn't care less.
The other people are not his wives, right?
As long as you don't delay the filming and can make the movie well, isn't it up to you to decide how to arrange the shooting progress?
The male lead Wu Jing is also an artist under Zhou Qing Pictures, and the two have been friends for many years. I believe Wu Jing can understand it.
There won't be any problem.
So this matter can still be done.
"If that's the case, then Zhou Qing, I'll take the photo!"
The girl then put aside her worries and made the decision.
Zhou Qing didn't say any more nonsense and began to boldly create the script of "The Wandering Earth 2".
The quality of "The Wandering Earth 2" was originally very high. The fact that more than 130 million people on Baidu gave it a high score of 8.3 is the best proof of this.
In this case, writing the script was so simple that Zhou Qing didn't even need to make any optimizations.
It only took 10 days in total to complete the script of "The Wandering Earth 2".
"Xiao Liu."
After instructing the assistant to submit for review and filing, Zhou Qing was not idle either.
He then continued to write the scripts for "The Unknown 2" and "Detective Chinatown 1900".
The former is purely original, while the latter requires a certain degree of optimization.
The original script of "Detective Chinatown 1900" had certain flaws, and the score of 6.5 was just barely passing the passing line.
This certainly cannot meet Zhou Qing's requirements.
You should know that no movie produced by Zhou Qing Pictures has a score lower than 7.5.
Even the action movies shot by Wu Jing generally have a rating of around 8 points.
Not to mention the top IP like "Detective Chinatown", Zhou Qing will definitely pay more attention to quality.
Therefore, Zhou Qing needs to spend a lot of effort on the scripts of these two movies.
"Director Zhou, you are finally going to shoot the sequel to The Wandering Earth!" Not long after the script of The Unknown 2 was written, Jiao Hongfen from China Film Group called excitedly.
The voice sounded so excited and eager.
If Zhou Qing was next to Jiao Hongfen, he would see light in Jiao Hongfen's eyes.
This is "The Wandering Earth 2"!
Based on the box office of over 50 billion for the first film, one can tell with one’s thighs that the second film is bound to be a super beast.
The kind that is enough to sweep the entire film market.
How could China Film Group not be excited about a movie of this level?
"The Wandering Earth plays an important role in promoting the development of Chinese science fiction films, greatly enriching the genres of Chinese films and promoting the diversified development of Chinese films."
"I believe that The Wandering Earth 2 will certainly play the same exemplary leading role as its predecessor and make a huge contribution to the development of China's film industry."
"For such a film, China Film Group will definitely spare no effort to support it."
Jiao Hongfen immediately expressed his attitude to Zhou Qing.
The words are very concise and high-sounding.
But in fact, the only meaning is that I hope to get in the car with Zhou Qing.
This is an old partner, so Zhou Qing naturally has no objection.
However, we will have to wait a while before we can start promoting cooperation.
Because Zhou Qing needs to finish writing the two scripts on hand first.
Otherwise, by the time he starts filming "The Wandering Earth 2", he will have no time.
It will take Zhou Qing one and a half months to complete these two scripts.
Among them, "Nobody 2" took Zhou Qing a full month to finish, but it is an original script anyway.
As for "Detective Chinatown 1900", it needs to be optimized, and the estimated period is half a month.
Naturally, Jiao Hongfen would not have any objection.
Instead, he immediately ordered China Film to prepare the funds and wait for Zhou Qing to start the train so that he could get on board.
The movie "Barbie" made Jiao Hongfen's presence felt in China Film Group, but Jiao Hongfen was still not satisfied.
I want to continue to follow Zhou Qing to achieve great things and create a more dazzling career.
"The Wandering Earth 2" is the best opportunity!
"Director Zhou Qing's new film has been released, and The Wandering Earth 2 has been successfully approved. Another blockbuster is about to be born."
"The sequel to the 50 billion box office hit "The Wandering Earth" has been approved, and director Zhou Qing will return as director and screenwriter!"
Not surprisingly, "The Wandering Earth 2" was exposed by people in the circle at the first opportunity.
The whole circle instantly became lively and sparked extremely heated discussions.
There is no other reason, it’s just that there are too many top-level buffs in "The Wandering Earth 2"!
First of all, this is Zhou Qing’s new film after Barbie swept the world, so it is bound to be extremely eye-catching.
Furthermore, "The Wandering Earth 2" is the sequel to a super hit that grossed over 50 billion yuan.
Finally, "The Wandering Earth" is still Liu Cixin's novel, and it is a complete big IP adaptation.
Each of these buffs is so awesome, and when combined together, they are enough to make the movie "The Wandering Earth 2" dazzle.
Anyone in the industry who has eyesight can see that "The Wandering Earth 2" will definitely be a top hit.
It's the kind of blockbuster that you would definitely avoid if you see any ordinary movie.
Even based on director Zhou Qing's past record, this movie might just become the box office champion again.
What the hell!
Damn it!
I don’t know how many producers are starting to feel frustrated.
Everyone felt a pang of liver pain when they thought about such a ferocious beast coming to snatch food from the market.
Especially those producers who are targeting the Lunar New Year box office are feeling extremely frustrated.
"Great! The Wandering Earth is finally going to have a sequel!"
"I've finally waited for it!"
"Director Zhou is finally back to continue filming The Wandering Earth!"
The situation is completely the opposite for fans of "The Wandering Earth".
Besides being happy, they were also excited.
Everyone is looking forward to the release of the movie.
As for actors from "The Wandering Earth" like Zhang Zifeng, Zhang Wanyi, etc., they were so happy after hearing the news that they almost went crazy.
If "The Wandering Earth" is to make a sequel, it will definitely continue to use the original crew.
In other words, will there be another 50 billion-level classic masterpiece created in his career?
It’s just a pity that they didn’t expect that they would have nothing to do with "The Wandering Earth 2".
"Great Director Zhou, you're going to make a sequel to The Wandering Earth!"
In May, Wu Jing finished filming the movie "Raging Fire" and he returned to the company in high spirits.
The first thing was to ask Zhou Qing about "The Wandering Earth 2".
Although the role Liu Peiqiang he played in "The Wandering Earth" was only an important supporting role, he died in the end.
But Wu Jing has already learned from Zhou Qing that "The Wandering Earth 2" is actually a prequel.
In other words, Liu Peiqiang is still very likely to return!
In addition, Liu Peiqiang is the father of the male protagonist Liu Qi, so he must have a lot of roles in the prequel, right?
He could even be the male lead.
How could Wu Jing remain calm when he thought about the possibility of playing an important role in a 50 billion-level movie, and even the possibility of playing the male lead?
"Get ready, the male lead is yours."
"The initial plan is to start filming after your movie 'Raging Fire' is released."
Zhou Qing did not keep Wu Jing in suspense and told him the answer directly.
Oh my god, I really am the male lead!
Wu Jing clenched his fist and slapped himself on the thigh.
This is incredible. This is really incredible.
I am going to star in another blockbuster with a box office of 50 billion!
Haha!
Wu Jing almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
To be honest, Wu Jing prefers to call himself a director, and he values this identity more.
He has indeed been active as a director over the years.
Apart from the films he directed himself, Wu Jing rarely films other people's films.
As a result, this guy is much better than most of the "professional actors".
Not only has we already had the 50 billion-level box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", is there going to be another "The Wandering Earth 2"?
In this way, he now has two works worth 50 billion yuan. Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, how many people can achieve such an achievement?
Thinking of this, Wu Jing suddenly felt that his whole body was filled with lofty ambitions.
Although if we shoot "The Wandering Earth 2" again, this year will be very difficult.
But who can blame us for the bright future beckoning to us?
If he is filming "The Wandering Earth 2", Wu Jing will be full of energy no matter how hard or tiring it is.
"But there is a prerequisite. Your movie 'Raging Fire' must be released as scheduled without any delay."
"Otherwise, The Wandering Earth 2 will also be delayed."
Zhou Qing's voice sounded, and he reminded Wu Jing lightly.
"Director Zhou, don't worry. The finished film of 'Raging Fire' will definitely be released before July."
"There won't be any problems!"
Wu Jing heard this and immediately swore a solemn oath in front of Zhou Qing. (End of this chapter)
