Chapter 534: The depression of the great director Zhou Qing, let’s go and compete with “Nezha: The Devil Boy Conquers the Dragon King”!
"'Nobody 2' officially starts filming, original cast returns, Huang Bo joins to double the absurdity."
"Lu Yang's "Nobody 2" has started filming. Can the fully upgraded cast continue its glory?"
"At the press conference for the launch of "Nobody 2", the old partners Lu Yang and Huang Bo reunited and had great rapport."
While several Lunar New Year movies were being promoted extensively, Lu Yang's "Nobodies 2" also started filming.
Even though the filming of this movie started much later than "The Wandering Earth 2", it may even be completed before "The Wandering Earth 2".
The scale of this film is definitely not comparable to "The Wandering Earth 2".
As for Chen Sicheng’s “Detective Chinatown 1900”?
Sorry, Chen Sicheng is busy setting up the real scene.
According to Chen Sicheng's report, the construction of the real scene would take a full nine months to complete.
That is to say, if everything goes well, "Detective Chinatown 1900" will start filming in April.
Considering the scale of "Detective Chinatown 1900", a three-month shooting period is completely sufficient for this film.
Adding a three-month post-production cycle, the finished film will probably be released in October.
With this calculation, it is entirely possible to catch up with next year's Lunar New Year box office.
Zhou Qing was completely relieved.
You have to know that in the 25th Lunar New Year holiday, all the blockbusters were defeated by "Nezha", and only "Detective Chinatown 1900" stood firm from beginning to end.
It became one of the only two films that achieved box office success during the Lunar New Year holiday that year.
If "Detective Chinatown 1900" was really missing, wouldn't "Nezha" be the only one dominating the market?
Wouldn't that be too boring?
But now, we have to add Zhou Qing’s "The Wandering Earth 2".
Zhou Qing really wants to know what kind of results "The Wandering Earth 2" can achieve after the success of "Nezha".
"Teacher Li Xuejian, are you ready?"
On the set, the filming of "The Wandering Earth 2" continues.
The next shot is of Zhou Zhezhi played by Li Xuejian.
Because Li Xuejian's throat is not very good, it is a bit difficult for him to speak, and his physical condition is not very good either, after all, he is old.
Therefore, director Zhou Qing must take the other party's health condition into consideration.
"Ready, you can start at any time."
Li Xuejian waved to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing then returned to the monitor and picked up the loudspeaker.
"start!"
The script supervisor also put down the clapperboard.
Li Xuejian, sitting in a wheelchair, got into the state in a second.
But he raised his head and looked at the air in front of him in some disbelief.
"Xiaoxi, is that a seagull?"
Li Xuejian asked his assistant.
It is worth mentioning that although the scene to be shot is on the sea, the actual shooting is actually carried out in the studio.
Because the background of this scene is the transportation and construction of planetary engines on the sea.
It requires special scenery and sets, and special special effects have to be added in the later stage.
It can only be done in a studio.
In other words, what Li Xuejian is performing at this moment is a standard non-property performance.
This is one of the basic skills of an actor, but unfortunately many actors can't even do this most basic thing.
Li Xuejian's performance was textbook-like.
If you ignore the machines around, you would really think Li Xuejian saw a seagull.
"I haven't seen it much, Mr. Zhou."
The assistant stared in the direction Li Xuejian was looking for a while and shook his head.
"The earth has stopped rotating for so long, how did they survive?"
Li Xuejian pulled down his sunglasses, looking puzzled.
But the next moment, Li Xuejian took off his sunglasses and stared ahead with wide eyes.
At this moment, of course, it’s just a green screen, nothing else.
But in this scene, the sea in front of Zhou Zhe suddenly started to flow back!
This kind of thing is obviously abnormal. Even a fool can see that something has gone wrong.
And this is the major crisis that the Earth faces in "The Wandering Earth 2": the lunar crisis.
If the Wandering Earth Project is to be implemented smoothly, the prerequisite is to move the moon away first. After all, the moon's gravity will greatly interfere with the Earth's orbit.
So before wandering the Earth, you need to wander the Moon first.
But who would have thought that something happened to the moon during the journey!
One of the lunar engines exploded, causing the moon to deviate from its intended orbit and fall toward the earth.
The sudden backflow of sea water is caused by the gravitational force of the moon.
In other words, the ultimate boss of the movie "The Wandering Earth 1" is Mars, but the ultimate boss of "The Wandering Earth 2" is the moon.
"Crack!"
"Pass!"
Behind the monitor, Zhou Qing stood up with satisfaction.
It is simply a pleasure to work with a veteran actor like Li Xuejian.
The other party not only has good acting skills, but more importantly, his attitude is also great, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with him.
The only thing that worried Zhou Qing was that Li Xuejian was not in good health.
Therefore, Zhou Qing also deliberately dispersed Li Xuejian's roles a little bit, not daring to make it too tight.
So as to avoid overloading Li Xuejian.
Otherwise, Li Xuejian would have finished filming this month.
However, although Zhou Zhezhi's branch line is also one of the three major branch lines, Zhou Zhezhi is nominally one of the three male protagonists.
But in terms of length, Zhou Zhezhi doesn't have that many scenes.
Even though Zhou Qing took his time filming, the other party had already finished filming by February.
"Congratulations to Teacher Li for wrapping up the filming!"
Zhou Qing also clapped twice for Li Xuejian.
Hua Hua Hua.
The other actors and staff at the scene also applauded from the bottom of their hearts.
During the entire filming period, Li Xuejian's professionalism and strong business ability as a veteran artist really impressed everyone.
This is a real actor!
"Thank you everyone for your hard work!"
Li Xuejian said goodbye to everyone with a gentle smile on his face.
Finally, he shook hands with Zhou Qing and spoke to him sincerely.
"Director Zhou, if there is any role you want me to play in the future, please let me know."
"I look forward to working with you again."
Feeling the sincerity in the other party's words, Zhou Qing also shook hands with the other party firmly.
“I am looking forward to that day too!”
Zhou Qing was definitely not just trying to please Li Xuejian, he really thought so.
For an actor who has both the attitude and the acting skills, why not use him?
"Everyone get ready. The next shot will start in thirty minutes."
After Li Xuejian left, Zhou Qing did not delay and continued to lead everyone to start the next shot.
We didn't finish filming until six in the afternoon.
"Producer Zhang."
After dinner, Zhou Qing called the producer over and the two had a brief meeting.
Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s New Year’s Eve in two days, and many people have to stay on the crew to celebrate the New Year.
The crew must prepare well. The Spring Festival is the most important festival in Chinese traditional culture, without a doubt.
As a director, Zhou Qing has to show some appreciation, right?
These things are actually trivial matters for producers.
It's nothing more than counting the number of people who stay to celebrate the New Year, and then improving the food, creating some New Year atmosphere and so on.
Very simple.
Zhou Qing doesn't need to worry at all, the other party has handled it properly.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I declare that our filming will be suspended for two days and everyone will have two days off."
"Everyone, take a good rest tomorrow. The crew has prepared dumplings and New Year's Eve dinner for everyone. We guarantee that everyone will have a good New Year."
"I would also like to wish everyone a happy new year and a happy life, and all the best!"
When the filming of the movie reached February 2, after Zhou Qing finished work, he announced to everyone that they could have a holiday.
By the way, I would like to send the director's New Year greetings to everyone.
As for himself?
Sorry, my home is in Beijing and my wife and children are waiting for me at home.
Zhou Qing will definitely not stay with the crew to celebrate the New Year.
Those who stayed in the crew were unable to return because the journey was too long, and Zhou Qing was not one of them.
"Producer Zhang."
However, before leaving, Zhou Qing specifically instructed the producer to make sure those who stayed behind had a good New Year.
"Junjun, Dad is back!"
As soon as Zhou Qing returned home and saw the little one in Liu Yifei's arms, all his fatigue disappeared.
"Come on, Junjun, this is daddy, hurry up and call daddy."
Liu Yifei also waved the little guy's hand to greet Zhou Qing.
"Mom~Mom~"
The little guy was dancing and babbling.
But in the end, it was mom who was called, not dad.
Zhou Qingting was in a state of confusion.
"Mom heard it, good son, call dad again."
Liu Yifei was so happy that she took the little guy's hand again and taught him to call daddy.
But the little guy still only knows how to call mom and can’t call dad.
This made Zhou Qing very depressed.
But on second thought, it was true that the time I spent with the little guy was far less than that spent by Liu Yifei.
It doesn't seem strange that this situation occurred.
"You little idiot, you can't even call daddy."
Zhou Qing gently patted the little guy's butt and picked him up.
Even if he can't call me dad, he is still my good son.
"Dad, Mom, didn't I tell you that you don't need to buy anything? We have everything at home."
Accompanying Liu Yifei and the little one to enjoy some family fun, mom and dad also appeared in the luxurious villa.
Apart from his parents and mother-in-law, Zhou Qing doesn't have many relatives or friends in Beijing.
So we just called the whole family together to celebrate New Year's Eve.
It’s more lively when there are more people.
Anyway, Zhou Qing’s luxurious villa is big enough and completely sufficient.
Naturally, my parents would not refuse.
It would be boring for the old couple to celebrate the New Year alone.
"Junjun, my eldest grandson."
My parents forgot about their son once they had a grandson.
After just a few words to Zhou Qing, he plunged headfirst into the fun of amusing his grandson.
"Brother Zhou, Sister Sun, you are already here."
Soon Liu Xiaoli also came.
The luxurious villa became lively.
Although there was a nanny at home, my parents still prepared a table of food themselves.
All in all, this year was very harmonious, happy and enjoyable.
"Han Han's new film is a huge hit at the box office. "Speeding Life 2" grossed 4.29 million yuan on the first day, leading the Lunar New Year box office."
"After Hello, Li Huanying, Jia Ling once again created a box office legend. Hot Spicy Hot took in 4.23 million yuan on the day of its release."
"Zhang Guoshi's "Article 1.97" achieved an impressive box office of million yuan, breaking the box office record for the same genre."
As the New Year is in full swing, several blockbuster movies of the Spring Festival period have been released one after another.
I have to say that the traffic during the Chinese New Year is indeed terrifying, and the data of these Spring Festival movies are very impressive.
Among them, Han Han's "Speeding Life 2" was the most awesome, earning a high box office of 4.29 million on the day of its release.
This is a first-day box office of over 4 million!
Master Zhang made movies all his life, but only one of his films, "Man Jiang Hong", achieved this.
Judging from this result, "Speeding Life 2" can definitely be called a hit, a huge hit.
I can only say that the combination of Han Han + Shen Teng is really too powerful.
In fact, Zhou Qing has also seen this movie. Well, it’s just so-so.
If it hadn’t been released during the Spring Festival, it would definitely not have achieved this result.
Following closely behind is Jia Ling's "Hot and Sizzling".
This movie was full of buffs and had very clever early marketing methods, which also achieved extremely amazing results.
The box office on the first day exceeded 4 million, only 2 million away from the champion "Speeding Life 500".
It can be said that the two are at exactly the same level, with almost no gap.
Of course, this is just the first day’s box office. How it will perform in the future will depend on whether these two movies can retain the audience.
But no matter what, the data of "Hot and Spicy" is also eye-catching.
With "Hi, Mom" before and this film after, Jia Ling can be said to have taken up the banner of female directors and become a flag.
What about the National Master’s “Article 20”?
Just like what people in the industry had estimated before, because the subject matter itself is not the kind that will attract box office fans, its performance will definitely not be as good as several other commercial blockbusters.
To be able to earn nearly 200 million yuan on the first day is really, really good.
As for Boonie Bears, its performance was still strong, earning 2.36 million yuan in the first-day box office.
It is higher than the national master's "Article 2", and only lower than "Speeding Life " and "Hot as Hell".
Currently ranked third.
As for movies like "We Rock the Sun Together", there is no need to mention it, its box office performance is still quite poor.
This is also expected.
During the Chinese New Year, people come here to have fun, not to cause trouble.
"Sissi, which one should we go see?"
Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei also planned to watch a movie to relax.
After some selection, I finally chose the "Article 20" by the national teacher.
It's not that entertaining, but at least it explores some profound social issues and is still very meaningful.
"Okay, Sissi, I'm leaving."
However, after relaxing, Zhou Qing said goodbye to Liu Yifei.
On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, I returned to the crew of "The Wandering Earth 2".
He only gave everyone in the crew two days off, and they had to start working again on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
