Chapter 531: Zhou Qing Pictures releases another hit! Only Director Zhou can pull it off!

"Thank you Director Zhou for your attention. Is it The Wandering Earth 2? I wonder what role Director Zhou wants me to play?"

Without revealing his inner thoughts, Liu Dehua asked Zhou Qing with a smile as if nothing had happened.

"The leading actor! When Hua is free, come over and have a chat."

Such an answer came from the receiver, which made Liu Dehua couldn't help but get excited.

It’s really not easy. After so many years, has Director Zhou finally asked me to play the leading male role?
Liu Dehua did not hesitate at all. He immediately made time to come to Zhou Qing Pictures.

"Teacher Li, you are here too."

In Zhou Qing's office, Liu Dehua saw another person, Li Xuejian.

Before Liu Dehua came, Zhou Qing had actually talked to Li Xuejian.

After reading the script, Li Xuejian became very interested in the role and agreed immediately.

Played the role of Zhou Zhezhi.

Zhou Qing was not surprised by this.

Li Xuejian had already taken on this role in the original time and space. Now that the director has changed to Zhou Qing, how could he refuse?

"With your participation, this movie is a sure success!"

Li Xuejian is a respected senior in the circle, and even Liu Dehua went over to greet him politely.

And I am not just saying this out of flattery; it is the truth that comes from my heart.

With Li Xuejian's business ability, is there any need to doubt him?
Moreover, given Li Xuejian's level, he can't just take on any movie.

It takes a really good movie to impress the other person.

Of course, there are no bad movies directed by Zhou Qing.

Liu Dehua believed that he would definitely be able to impress Li Xuejian.

"Dehua, you are the male lead of "The Wandering Earth 2", right?"

Li Xuejian also greeted Liu Dehua with a smile.

"I need to ask Director Zhou about this. He just said we can talk about it, but he didn't really say he would give it to me."

Liu Dehua took the opportunity to say to Zhou Qing with a smile, "Director Zhou, give me a clear answer in front of Teacher Li, am I the male lead? If not, I won't act."

"That's not what you said before you came. Didn't you say you could play any role?"

Zhou Qing also laughed when he heard this.

"What if you had hung up the phone if you hadn't said that at the time?"

Liu Dehua continued to joke with Zhou Qing.

"Director Zhou, Dehua."

Li Xuejian saw that it was almost time, so he stood up and said goodbye to Zhou Qing and Liu Dehua.

Anyway, his business has been discussed, so I won’t delay Liu Dehua’s discussion here.

"Director Chen, please help me see Teacher Li off."

Zhou Qing politely sent Li Xuejian away.

It was not until this time that the script was taken out.

"Look, I'm going to ask you to play Tu Hengyu."

After handing the script to Liu Dehua, Zhou Qing said to him casually.

Liu Dehua didn't even have time to chat with Zhou Qing.

After saying hello, he began to read the script attentively.

But he soon looked up with some confusion. Why did the script in his hand seem so incoherent?
How did we get directly to the moon base?

Isn’t this the story of "The Wandering Earth 2"?

I flipped through the pages and all I saw were things about the moon. What was going on?

"Director Zhou, is Tu Hengyu really the male lead? I'm not well educated, so don't lie to me."

Liu Dehua is not stupid, so he can guess it.

The only reason for this situation is that the script you got is not the whole one.

It is a part of the whole script, or a branch of the whole story.

The character Tu Hengyu is just the male protagonist in the side storyline.

"The Wandering Earth 2" has three parallel plots, and Tu Hengyu is one of the main plots."

"You are indeed the leading actor, but just one of them."

Zhou Qing explained for Liu Dehua.

"Three parallel lines? Only Director Zhou can pull it off."

Liu Dehua suddenly realized.

He didn't think Zhou Qing was fooling him.

Firstly, considering Zhou Qing's rank and the friendship between him and me, there is no need for this.

Secondly, the script in his hand is not thin.

However, the three-line narrative is indeed very difficult.

You have to know that the capacity of a movie is extremely limited, unlike a TV series that can accommodate multiple stories.

Generally speaking, a movie only has one main plot, and there are not many dual-line narratives.

There are naturally fewer third lines, because they are extremely difficult and if you make a mistake with one, you will fail.

But since the director is Zhou Qing, there will definitely be no problem.

This is the most awesome director in Chinese entertainment.

Liu Dehua didn't say anything more and began to concentrate on reading the script in his hand.

After about twenty minutes, he couldn't help but look up with a look of admiration.

Wonderful, really wonderful.

The character design of Tu Hengyu is very charming.

It can be said that Liu Dehua was deeply moved.

Liu Dehua immediately made his attitude clear to Zhou Qing that he would play this role no matter what.

"Then Brother Hua, welcome to join us."

Zhou Qing and Liu Dehua shook hands in friendship and reached an agreement on this matter very happily.

So far, the three main characters of the three main lines have all been confirmed.

Other important supporting characters like Shayi, Ningli, etc. also arrived one after another within a week.

These people are not like Li Xuejian or Liu Dehua, who can be picky.

If you are not satisfied with the script, you may even quit.

For these people, being able to act in a movie directed by Zhou Qing is like pie in the sky.

Without even reading the script, he eagerly agreed.

After these important roles were finalized, Zhou Qing did as planned and handed the casting over to the casting director.

He himself has freed up his hands to deal with other related matters of "The Wandering Earth 2".

"'Detective Chinatown' writes a new chapter, and 'Detective Chinatown 1900' is launched. Director Chen Sicheng calls it a brand new 'Detective Chinatown'."

“The super IP Tang Detective series didn’t get Tang Detective 4, but got Tang Detective 1900!”

"'Detective Chinatown 1900' is in preparation, Chen Sicheng revealed that Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran will return."

Preparations for "The Wandering Earth 2" are in full swing, and Chen Sicheng has also taken action.

It has to be said that Chen Sicheng is much more proactive than Lu Yang.

Lu Yang is like a salted fish all day long, and he doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of starting work.

Judging from the other party's usual character, I'm afraid there won't be any movement until the very end.

Of course Zhou Qing had no objection to this. Wasn't it Zhou Qing who gave others such a high degree of freedom?

Anyway, as long as it doesn't delay the release of "The Unknown 2" during the summer next year, Zhou Qing doesn't bother to ask.

Salted fish is salted fish, it doesn’t matter.

Chen Sicheng's situation is completely the opposite.

The other party was really enthusiastic about filming "Detective Chinatown 1900". Almost immediately, he made time to quickly set up the project and prepare.

"'Detective Chinatown 1900'? Is the Detective Chinatown series developing a spin-off? Or is it a prequel?"

"Why not Detective Chinatown 4? I'm still waiting for Detective Chinatown to fight Q."

“Although it’s not “Detective Chinatown 4”, as long as “Detective Chinatown” continues to be filmed, that’s fine!”

The public's enthusiasm for "Detective Chinatown 1900" is still very high, and it quickly sparked extremely heated discussions.

It instantly became a hot topic on many platforms.

The "Detective Chinatown" series is one of the top IPs in the industry.

Although only three films have been released before, it has accumulated a large number of loyal fans.

Especially since "Detective Chinatown 3" revealed the identity of Q, the story is obviously not over yet, which whetted everyone's appetite even more.

I don’t know how many people are eagerly waiting for "Detective Chinatown 4", waiting for the Chinatown detectives and the battle of wits and courage with the Qs.

But who would have thought that after all this waiting, we didn’t get “Detective Chinatown 4” but instead got “Detective Chinatown 1900”.

I have to say, this result was really unexpected.

But how could that be? Even if it’s not “Detective Chinatown”, it’s still Detective Chinatown.

Everyone is generally full of endless expectations for this new chapter of "Detective Chinatown".

But it's a pity.

Although "Detective Chinatown 1900" has begun preparations, it cannot start filming in the short term.

Why?

Because Chen Sicheng plans to build a real-life Chinatown in San Francisco as it existed in 1900!

This thing is undoubtedly a big project.

It’s equivalent to building a city directly!
Making a movie and building a city is something that poet Chen likes to do, and now Zhou Qing has also tried it.

This suggestion was made by Chen Sicheng, but Zhou Qing did not object.

So the question is, is it too expensive to build a city?

Is it really necessary to waste money like this?

It's really not.

With Zhou Qing Pictures' current influence in the industry and the influence of the "Detective Chinatown" IP, building a city or something doesn't require Zhou Qing Pictures to pay all the money.

As soon as the door was opened, a lot of people rushed to put money in.

There are so many tricks involved here. Zhou Qing didn’t know it when he didn’t do it before, but now he realizes that everyone really knows how to have fun.

In short, although building a city greatly increased the budget, the cost directly soared to 7 million yuan.

But in fact, Zhou Qing Pictures only spent half of the money.

There are many interests involved behind this, which cannot be told to outsiders.

Let me put it this way, the movies directed by poet Chen generally don’t perform well at the box office, so why do so many people still give money to them?
Why is it still being built?

That means everyone makes money.

Very simple logic.

"Director Zhou, the post-production of "Raging Fire" is complete!"

News also came from Wu Jing that the finished film of "Raging Fire" was finally released after much hassle.

Zhou Qing took some time out to watch the movie.

As for the quality of the film, there is naturally no problem.

Wu Jingdu is an experienced director who has directed many films.

With Zhou Qing's script as the foundation, there will basically be no accidents.

As for the specific release date?
It's already July and Zhou Qing doesn't have any choice.

The film can only be sent to August.

Although August is not a very good period.

There is no other reason, there is a high-end movie released this month.

It was the movie "All or Nothing" which was released on August 8.

The quality of this film is actually pretty good, but it's just okay.

It is far from being able to explode.

But this movie became a hit, and a huge hit at that.

The total box office reached 38 billion yuan and almost broke 40 billion yuan.

It can only be said to be terrifying.

In the original time and space, Wu Ershan’s "The First Part of the God Investiture" will also be released on July 7, which is also a big hit with a box office of 20 billion yuan.

However, due to the intervention of Zhou Qing, the reborn person, Wu Ershan's career trajectory deviated to a certain extent.

At present, the other party’s "Fengshen" series is still in production and has not yet been released.

If it is to be released specifically, I'm afraid it will have to be postponed for a few years.

This is good news for "Raging Fire".

In addition, Dapeng's "Hot" will be released on July 7, and the box office of this film has also reached 28 million yuan.

More or less, he is a strong opponent.

Overall, August was still a little cruel.

But who can blame the fact that "Raging Fire" was not released until July?

If we want to reserve time for concentrated promotion, it can only be in August.

No choice.

Fortunately, "Raging Fire" is no pushover and has strong box office potential.

In the original time and space, "Fengshen" could have achieved such a high box office under the rule of "All or Nothing".

This is enough to show that the market size in August is still very large.

Even with "All or Nothing", other movies can still eat up the spoils.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Zhou Qing is actually quite optimistic about the prospects of "Raging Fire".

"Wu Jing's new film "Raging Fire" is coming, with explosive fighting scenes that are so exciting that you can't stop watching."

"The action blockbuster "Raging Fire" is now available for pre-sale, Wu Jing will bring you the excitement of fist-fighting!"

It can be said that Director Wu Jing did not stop for a moment. He did not even have time to catch his breath before he started working again.

Leading a group of main creators, he began an enthusiastic roadshow and publicity.

The response did not surprise Zhou Qing and Wu Jing, and was generally quite enthusiastic.

You know, Wu Jing has accumulated quite a few fans over the years.

With Zhou Qing's scripts as the foundation, "Wu's action movies" gradually became a signature product.

Many people are very happy with it.

“Raging Fire, an action-packed movie not to be missed. It’s so exciting!”

While Zhou Qing was busy preparing for "The Wandering Earth 2", he also cheered for Wu Jing on Weibo.

As usual, it immediately attracted praise from many celebrities.

It will definitely only play a certain additive role in the box office of "Raging Fire".

Zhou Qing didn’t know how big of an impact it would have, but as a person who had been reborn, he knew that the box office of "Raging Fire" would not be bad.

"Director Zhou, you have done your job well. The box office of "Raging Fire" on the first day was 1.8 million!"

This is indeed the case. On August 8, "Raging Fire" was officially released, and the first day box office was immediately counted.

Wu Jing reported this achievement to Zhou Qing with a beaming face.

exploded!

It exploded.

With a box office of 1.8 million on the first day, it is definitely a big hit no matter when.

Judging from past experience, it is very easy for "Raging Fire" to break 10 billion in total box office. (End of this chapter)
