Chapter 537: The box office of "Nobody 2" is a big hit, and Director Zhou is now internati
"The Beijing roadshow of "Nobody 2" has received numerous praises, and the audience said it is better than the first one."
"Luyang's new film "Nobody 2" held a media meeting and received high praise."
"Word of mouth has spread about the viewing party for "Nobody 2". You can always trust Lu Yang and Zhou Qing."
In July, Lu Yang started the grand promotion of "Nobodies 7" with Huang Bo and other main creators.
Various roadshows, film screenings, meet-and-greets and other activities have been arranged.
Huang Bo even brought his good friend and colleague Wang Baoqiang to support him.
Poor Wang Baoqiang, the filming of "Detective Chinatown 1900" had just been completed and he didn't have time to rest.
I worked like a slave for Huang Bo.
But you know what, the effect is really good.
Judging from the results of several roadshows in which Wang Baoqiang appeared, the audience response was extremely enthusiastic.
The "mysterious guest" Wang Baoqiang was a huge surprise for everyone.
You know, although they are both top-tier celebrities, Wang Baoqiang's current status is higher than Huang Bo's.
Who can blame Wang Baoqiang for starring in more hit TV series and movies than Huang Bo?
If nothing else, the three "Detective Chinatown" movies are enough to kill Huang Bo in seconds.
Especially now that Zhou Qing has launched a new "Detective Chinatown" series.
In Wang Baoqiang's career, there will definitely be another super heavyweight hit.
This made Wang Baoqiang even more successful.
In this situation, one can imagine how effective Wang Baoqiang's support was.
Unfortunately, Wang Baoqiang only played in two games and then went back to rest.
Having just finished filming "Detective Chinatown 1900", Wang Baoqiang really needs to take a break.
But even so, the popularity of "Nobody 2" is soaring.
Who can blame the fact that the crew on and behind the scenes of this film is so luxurious?
The film was released in early August and the first day box office was quickly revealed.
A total of 2.2 million!
"Luyang, not bad!"
After Zhou Qing got the data, he couldn't help but give Lu Yang high praise and affirmation.
The box office on the first day exceeded 2 million.
Even in the era of 24 years, this data is an extremely impressive box office.
It can definitely be called a box office hit.
As expected, "Nobody 2" became another big hit in the summer season.
Although it was not as good as Shen Teng's "Catching Dolls", the film's box office on the first day included the advance screenings and earned 5.2 million yuan.
The well-deserved number one hit of the summer season.
"Nobody 2" pales in comparison.
However, there is no problem for "Nobody 2" to firmly sit in the second place of hit.
Especially considering the cost of "Nobodies 2", Zhou Qing felt even more satisfied.
"This is just the beginning. We need to keep steady in the future."
Lu Yang was also very happy. You know, the performance of "Nobody 2" was much better than the first one.
When "Nobody" was first released, the box office on the first day was only 8100 million, and it did not even break million.
The first-day box office of "Nobody 2" more than doubled.
Considering that the total box office of "Nobody" exceeded 10 billion.
Then the box office of "Nobody 2" might exceed 20 billion?
If a small or medium-budget movie can earn 20 billion at the box office, what else does it need?
Even Lu Yang, who is usually calm, couldn't help but feel a little proud.
However, in front of his boss Zhou Qing, Lu Yang was still humble.
"Relax, the movie will do well at the box office."
Zhou Qing smiled confidently at Lu Yang.
As long as the quality of the movie is guaranteed, how can the follow-up be unstable?
So is the quality of "Nobody 2" guaranteed?
Director Lu Yang + screenwriter Zhou Qing, can there be no guarantee?
That is definitely guaranteed.
Therefore, the box office potential of "Nobody 2" is still strong.
After the huge box office of 2.2 million on the first day, the subsequent box office trends have been very strong and very gratifying.
As of the day the film was taken off the screen in early August, the total box office had reached 8 billion.
It is second only to "Catch the Dolls" with 33.27 billion, making it the second biggest hit of the summer season.
"Congratulations, Luyang, you've made another hit."
As the boss, Zhou Qing congratulated Lu Yang.
"This is all because of your good script, Director Zhou."
Lu Yang was modest.
"The company will organize a celebration banquet. After that, take a good rest for a while."
After a brief greeting, Zhou Qing told him about his arrangements for Lu Yang.
Zhou Qing had actually already written the script for "Life Events 2", but this was obviously not the right time.
Zhou Qing did not bring it up for the time being.
It won’t be too late to wait for Lu Yang to rest for a while and take a breath.
"By the way, Director Zhou, do you have any plans for my next film company?"
Lu Yang nodded, but paused when he was about to leave and asked Zhou Qing this question.
"Do you have any ideas?"
How could Zhou Qing not understand Lu Yang's meaning?
"I have an idea. Director Zhou, the box office of 'Assassination of Novelist' should be OK, right? Can I make a sequel?"
After a brief consideration, Lu Yang told Zhou Qing his thoughts truthfully.
"Assassination of Novelist 2"?
Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows subconsciously.
It seems that Lu Yang really likes this movie.
If I remember correctly, in the original time and space, Lu Yang did film "Assassination of Novelist 2".
However, by the time Zhou Qing was reborn, the movie had not yet been released.
Therefore, Zhou Qing has no way of judging the box office of "Assassination of Xiaojia 2".
But even so, since Lu Yang has asked his boss, how could Zhou Qing refuse?
This person is a veteran employee of the company.
How many movies did you make for Zhou Qing with such diligence and dedication, and how much money did you make for the company?
With such a small request, is there anything Zhou Qing can’t satisfy?
Admittedly, the cost of "Assassination of Novelist" was relatively high, and although the box office was good, it was not a huge hit.
Although the first film was profitable, its profit efficiency was not as high as other films.
I think the same is true for "Assassination of Novelist 2".
Because it is a visual effects blockbuster, the cost will definitely not come down.
In addition, the original novel of the movie is not that famous and has a very limited number of fans.
Zhou Qing is not so optimistic about the box office expectations for "Assassination of Novelist 2".
Even if it can make money, I'm afraid the cost-effectiveness is not that high.
But even so, Zhou Qing still decided to agree.
With his current net worth, he has long passed the stage of only focusing on money. But before that, Lu Yang needs to finish filming "Life Events 2" first.
"Lu Yang, your next movie has been confirmed, but the next movie after that, you can shoot "Assassination of Novelist 2"
Zhou Qing told Lu Yang his decision.
Lu Yang couldn't help but show joy.
This is also the reason why he has been willing to stay in Zhou Qing Pictures for so many years.
Since he became famous, many companies have extended olive branches to Lu Yang and tried to poach him.
However, after Lu Yang's contract with Zhou Qing Pictures expired, he chose to renew the contract with Zhou Qing Pictures.
In addition to the fact that his boss is very generous in terms of benefits and allows him to get a considerable share of the profits from each film, another important reason is that he is given a high degree of freedom.
Although Zhou Qing, his boss, would arrange various movies for him, when he really had some ideas, Zhou Qing would be very respectful.
Movies such as the "Assassination of Novelist" series and "Assassination of Novelist" were all proposed by Lu Yang.
Zhou Qing met his requirements.
It's not just Lu Yang. For example, Wu Jing wanted to film "Wolf Warrior", and Director Zhou agreed.
Even actors like Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo want to satisfy their desire to be directors.
Director Zhou also gave them enough support and really helped them make the movie.
How is this possible in other film and television companies?
It is not up to you to decide what kind of movie you shoot or what kind of role you play.
"Xiao Liu, ask Wu Jing to come over."
After Lu Yang left, Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and then gave this order to his assistant.
"Director Zhou, you're looking for me?"
Wu Jing did not dare to delay when his boss summoned him, and rushed to Zhou Qing Pictures as quickly as possible.
Snapped!
Zhou Qing didn't waste any time and directly took out the script of "Wolf Warrior 3" and threw it to Wu Jing.
"Here's your new movie."
Zhou Qing said to Wu Jing directly.
Now, more than half a year has passed since Wu Jing finished filming "The Wandering Earth 2".
No matter how tired Wu Jing was, he should have recovered long ago.
"Wolf Warrior 3?"
Wu Jing took the script and took a look at it, his eyes immediately lit up.
The "Wolf Warrior" series is Wu Jing's favorite, and it is the movie he really wants to make.
However, after "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing has been busy filming other movies or acting, and has never had much time.
Now his boss has decided to shoot first, which can be said to be exactly what Wu Jing wants.
"Director Zhou, how did you know I wanted to continue filming Wolf Warrior?"
Wu Jing was immediately amused and couldn't help laughing in front of Zhou Qing.
"Don't come on, go get ready."
Zhou Qing waved his hand and sent Wu Jing away.
Wu Jing started preparing for the blockbuster "Wolf Warrior 3" with full enthusiasm.
"The film "Wolf Warrior 3" directed by Wu Jing has been approved. The legend of Wolf Warrior Leng Feng continues, and Wu Jing once again writes a passionate legend."
"The hit movie Wolf Warrior 2 is confirmed to have a sequel, and Wu Jing will return as the director and lead actor in Wolf Warrior 3."
"Wolf Warrior 3 is really coming, and director Wu Jing revealed that the film is in preparation."
The news of "Wolf Warrior 3" spread throughout the entire entertainment industry almost immediately.
It immediately attracted great attention from the entire circle.
The first "Wolf Warrior" was actually okay, but "Wolf Warrior 2" was a huge hit and earned 50 billion yuan.
Now that a blockbuster of this level is being filmed with a sequel, how can everyone remain calm?
Especially according to the information revealed so far, the lineup of "Wolf Warrior 3" will be further upgraded.
The screenwriter for the first two Wolf Warrior films was Wu Jing, but the screenwriter for the third film was director Zhou Qing.
Director Zhou Qing is the number one screenwriter in Chinese entertainment. Isn’t he more reliable than screenwriter Wu Jing?
Without a doubt, of course!
Taking all these factors into consideration, "Wolf Warrior 3" became one of the most important film projects in the entire industry the moment it was exposed.
Of course, this is even more true of Zhou Qing's "The Wandering Earth 2".
Although "The Wandering Earth 2" has been completed for half a year, its popularity in the circle can be said to have not diminished at all.
The entire industry has been keeping an eye on this movie.
Especially as time goes by and the Chinese New Year is getting closer, the attention of people in the circle to this movie will be even higher.
Everyone knows that "The Wandering Earth 2" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival and is currently in post-production.
I just don’t know how far it will be achieved in the later stages?
"Done!"
In December, Zhou Qing in the later room couldn't help but stretch lazily.
After 9 months, all the post-production work of "The Wandering Earth 2" has finally been completed.
Simply calculating the time, "The Wandering Earth 2" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, which means it will be released in February next year.
This means that intensive publicity has to begin in January.
In other words, Zhou Qing only has one month of rest time left, after which he will have to get back into his busy work.
Even though every move of "The Wandering Earth 2" has attracted much attention in the circle, necessary publicity and promotion are still necessary.
These days, road shows have a really big impact on movie box office.
Even Zhou Qing didn't dare to underestimate it.
Of course, Zhou Qing couldn't just ignore everything during this month.
He also has to sell the copyright of "The Wandering Earth 2".
Of course, with Zhou Qing's current rank, this is actually quite easy.
It is no exaggeration to say that the name "Zhou Qing" is now well-known in the entertainment industry all over the world.
Especially with the global success of "Barbie", Zhou Qing's importance will be even greater.
Nowadays, any film shot by Zhou Qing will have no trouble selling worldwide.
Even during the filming of "The Wandering Earth 2" and the post-production period, many international film producers contacted Zhou Qing.
I want to discuss the copyright transaction of "The Wandering Earth 2" with Zhou Qing.
That’s right, this is Zhou Qing’s current rank.
You don’t have to take the initiative to sell copyrights, nor do you need to rely on the three major European platforms.
Now, his rank has reached a certain level.
Not only the Chinese entertainment industry, but the global entertainment industry is paying attention to his new film.
Especially since the post-production of The Wandering Earth 2 was almost finished, Zhou Qing asked Director Chen to start contacting international film producers to arrange for film screenings.
The international film producers are even more proactive and can't wait.
All I can say is that Zhou Qing’s current international popularity is really good.
However, Zhou Qing will have to wait in the back for the time being when it comes to watching films by these international film producers.
Now that the film is out, it must be shown to several producers first.
Even if the producer has opinions or something, some directors have to make changes based on the producer's suggestions.
Of course, this kind of thing has never happened to Zhou Qing.
First of all, Zhou Qing Pictures has always been the controlling party and has the final decision-making power.
Secondly, everyone trusts Zhou Qing so much that they would not raise any objections. (End of this chapter)
