“40 billion box office! Is the second 40 billion movie coming out in China Entertainment?”

“‘The Martian’ is about to break 40 billion, Director Zhou is really amazing!”

“It’s only been a little over half a month, and it’s already over 30 billion?”

Everyone in the industry was a little dumbfounded and shocked by the box office performance of “The Martian”.

Before “The Martian” was released, everyone knew it would be a big hit.

After all, it looks like a hit in every aspect.

But even so, no one expected “The Martian” to become such a hit.

It’s even more popular than Zhou Qing’s previous hit “Operation Red Sea”!

It broke 17 billion in just 30 days. Let alone breaking 40 billion, it is even possible for the total box office to hit 50 billion.

Even if we can’t reach 50 billion in the end, it should not be difficult to reach more than 40 billion.

In other words, the total box office of “The Martian” is very likely to be over 45 billion.

Mist grass!

When they thought of this, many people subconsciously uttered confusion.

Director Zhou, this is a bit too exaggerated.

You should know that apart from Zhou Qing’s movies, the highest box office record holder in Chinese entertainment is still Stephen Chow’s “The Mermaid”.

The box office is nearly 30 billion.

As a result, Director Zhou’s “The Martian” is about to earn an additional 20 billion?
Do you have to be so exciting?

Everyone was stimulated. They were really stimulated.

As for Zhou Qing himself?

As the director of “The Martian”, I am naturally extremely happy that the film has become such a hit.

I can only say that the decision to adapt “The Martian” into a Chinese-language film was absolutely correct.

It’s a great win that not only made money at the box office but also gained good reputation.

But Zhou Qing has no idea whether “The Martian”, which is being discussed by everyone in the industry, can break 50 billion.

Judging from the current box office trends, it is impossible to make this judgment.

All I can say is that it is possible and it’s worth looking forward to.

Zhou Qing couldn’t be sure about anything else.

But if “The Martian” really breaks 50 billion in the end, wow, that would be really amazing.

Of course, even if it doesn’t break the box office, “The Martian” will still be a huge success.

Zhou Qing was still satisfied.

clap clap clap!
Zhou Qing, feeling refreshed, simply calmed down his mood and continued typing on the keyboard.

He had already instructed Director Yang to launch the “Divergent” project, so the corresponding script naturally had to be prepared in a timely manner.

You can’t let the chain drop.

“Is this another new movie prepared for me?”

The girl was so excited when she knew Zhou Qing had arranged another Hollywood movie for her.

He stayed by Zhou Qing’s side all day, waiting for “updates”, his eyes full of light.

This is Hollywood’s resource.

Even considering the girl’s current level, it is still something she dreams of.

Of course, for other female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, it is even more of an opportunity that is hard to come by.

“Yes, Director Yang has already approved the project and is in preparation. It is expected to start filming in more than two months. Is there any problem with your end?”

Zhou Qing communicated the relevant situation with Liu Yifei.

“No problem, what problem can I have?”

The girl said without thinking.

In fact, with Liu Yifei’s current rank, all kinds of notices are lined up for her.

But in the face of Hollywood blockbusters, none of those other things matter.

Except for some activities that brands cannot promote, Liu Yifei can promote all other announcements that can be promoted.

Nothing can stop a girl from becoming an international superstar.

She even couldn’t wait to join the group.

“How far have you written this script? How many days will it take to finish it?”

The girl’s eyes swept across Zhou Qing’s computer screen, and she couldn’t help but stare at Zhou Qing and ask him questions repeatedly.

“Look how anxious you are. It should be no problem to finish it before the New Year.”

Zhou Qing smiled, and after a brief estimate, gave Liu Yifei the answer.

“That won’t take more than a week?”

Although the time was not long, it was still very tiring for the girl who was eagerly waiting.

However, Zhou Qing’s estimation was still very accurate. If he said it would be before the New Year, it would definitely not be delayed until after the New Year.

It won’t even be until New Year’s Eve.

Finally, I succeeded in completing the entire script on the day before New Year’s Eve, which was February 2th.

The girl has been by his side these days, and when she saw this, she reviewed the script immediately.

I can’t hold it back any longer.

Brilliant.

This script is really wonderful.

Of course, Zhou Qing is the top screenwriter in the entire Chinese entertainment industry. Every script he created is a masterpiece.

There is nothing to say about this.

What is the key?
This “Divergent” is a movie with a strong female lead.

It goes without saying how important a movie with a female lead is to a female star.

You have to know that in the cruel entertainment industry, actresses do have much fewer opportunities than actors.

Because most of the movies are male-centered movies.

Even if there are so-called female protagonists, from the perspective of the entire film’s structure, those female protagonists are nothing more than important supporting roles.

It is really rare to find true female protagonists like those in “Painted Skin”, “The Hearing Girl” and “The Witch”.

Especially in Hollywood, movies with female protagonists are even rarer.

Not to mention the female stars in the Chinese entertainment industry, even the female stars in Hollywood are hard to come by.

Liu Yifei knew very well that if it weren’t for Zhou Qing, she would never be able to get such resources in her life.

“That’s not right, Zhou Qing. This story isn’t over yet. Is there a sequel?”

After reading the entire script, the girl also discovered this point, and her eyes sparkled even more.

“Yes, I plan to make a trilogy of Divergent.”

Facing Liu Yifei’s eager gaze, Zhou Qing nodded heavily and admitted it.

“So, Sissi, in the next few years, your work focus may be in Hollywood.”

Zhou Qing continued to speak to Liu Yifei with a smile.

It made the girl even more excited.

It can be said that making it into Hollywood is the ambition of every Chinese entertainment star, especially for the top stars.

After all, they have already reached the pinnacle of Chinese entertainment, and it is difficult to go any further.

If you want to continue climbing up, you can only step into a bigger stage.

For example, this is the case with Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.

Now, it is Liu Yifei’s turn.

When the girl thought of this, she couldn’t help but feel a great sense of pride in her heart.

“Director Yang.” Zhou Qing didn’t say any more nonsense and quickly sent the script of “Divergent” to Director Yang.

After a brief communication with the other party, all preparatory work for “Divergent” has been fully advanced.

Zhou Qing was completely relieved.

“Director Zhou.”

Not long after the matter of the divergents was dealt with, Director Chen knocked on Zhou Qing’s office door.

Reported something to Zhou Qing: the finished film of “Princess Agents” has come out.

“Has the finished film of “Princess Agents” come out?”

Zhou Qing was a little surprised by this, because Director Chen had reported to him before that the finished film of “Princess Agents” was expected to be released around March.

Based on the usual style in the circle, Zhou Qing subconsciously thought that it would be after March.

I didn’t expect that it’s only mid-February and the film has come out.

I have to say that this was indeed somewhat beyond Zhou Qing’s expectations.

But overall, this is actually a good thing.

Zhou Qing was still quite excited.

After a quick calculation, Zhou Qing decided to leave Zhou Qing Pictures since he didn’t have anything else to do at the moment.

I took Liu Yifei with me to see the movie.

“Director Zhou, Yifei, you are here.”

Director Wu Jinyuan personally received Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei and was very enthusiastic.

At the same time, it is also taken very seriously.

It’s not just because of Zhou Qing’s identity as the investor’s father, but also because Zhou Qing is also an expert in producing TV dramas and a big shot in the TV drama circle.

Such people are very difficult to fool.

Although Wu Jinyuan is not an ordinary figure in the circle, but a well-known director, he also feels a kind of pressure.

Fortunately, the film-watching process was still very enjoyable.

Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei watched the first two episodes of “Princess Agents” together. They were fascinated from beginning to end and did not ask any questions.

“Director Wu, it’s great. Princess Agents will definitely be a hit.”

Not only that, Zhou Qing also expressed high praise for Wu Jinyuan.

This made Wu Jinyuan’s slightly anxious heart completely relax.

As long as Director Zhou is satisfied!

Thinking about Director Zhou’s extremely accurate business acumen, Wu Jinyuan couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

Since Director Zhou is so optimistic about “Princess Agents”, it means that “Princess Agents” has a great chance of becoming a hit.

“By the way, Director Zhou, I wonder if Director Chen has told you that the talks about the TV station for Princess Agents have almost been concluded.”

“We are currently planning to premiere on MaTou TV in May, and also simultaneously launch it on six major online platforms including iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.”

Wu Jinyuan then told Zhou Qing about the broadcast of “Princess Agents”.

Director Chen did report this matter to Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing himself had no objection to it.

Online and TV channel broadcasting has become a major trend these days, and the Internet has long become an important and indispensable broadcasting platform.

There was no problem at all with the simultaneous launch on six major online platforms.

As for the Toilet Channel, the premiere platform?
Then there will be no problem at all.

You should know that Toilet Channel is indeed a very powerful satellite TV station, and it ranks among the best even among those satellite TV stations.

Several of the TV series Zhou Qing had produced in the past were first broadcast on toilet channels, and all achieved very good results.

It can definitely be called a win-win situation.

Zhou Qing naturally wouldn’t have any objection to sending “Princess Agents” to the toilet again this time.

This matter was agreed upon so happily.

“‘The Martian’ set a new record for director Zhou Qing’s career, with a total box office of 47 billion!”

“The sci-fi blockbuster The Martian, directed by Zhou Qing, closed with a box office of 47 billion yuan, setting a new record in the history of Chinese entertainment.”

“Director Zhou wins again! The Martian grossed 47 billion yuan, temporarily ranking first in the box office rankings of film history.”

On February 2, the total box office of “The Martian” was exposed, and many people in the industry couldn’t help but feel excited.

47 million!
What is this concept?
It almost broke 50 billion!

What is a discontinuous lead?

This is called a gap-like lead.

Judging from the current data, Chinese-language films are actually divided into two categories.

One is the movie directed by Zhou Qing, and the other is the movie directed by other directors.

These two types of movies are completely on different levels and not on the same level.

The box office of movies directed by Zhou Qing has exceeded 40 billion yuan, and is even close to 50 billion yuan.

But what about all those other films made by all the directors?

The best performing film was Stephen Chow’s “The Mermaid”, which grossed 28 billion yuan.

It’s 20 billion less than “The Martian”!

Count on your fingers, how many movies have grossed over 20 billion in the entire history of Chinese entertainment?

I have to say, this is indeed a bit exaggerated.

What’s even more terrible?
Although “The Martian” directed by Zhou Qing did not break 50 billion, the gap is actually not that big.

Then wouldn’t his next movie be able to break 50 billion?

Is China Entertainment about to enter the 50 billion box office era?
hiss!
When they thought of this, many people subconsciously took a breath of cold air.

“47 billion! Almost broke 50 billion!”

Even Master Zhang couldn’t remain calm. You have to know that the total box office of his movie “The Great Wall” was less than 12 billion.

That was also the highest-grossing work in Zhang Guoshi’s career.

The result was that the box office was 36 billion less than Zhou Qing’s “The Martian”.

36 million!
Zhou Qing’s “Dying to Survive” didn’t even make 36 billion yuan at the box office.

Has I, once the number one director in Chinese entertainment, now been left so far behind by Zhou Qing?

It has to be said that this gap is really too huge.

It was so huge that even Master Zhang felt melancholy.

“Director Zhou is getting more and more outrageous.”

Han Sanping couldn’t help but sigh.

Let’s count carefully. How long has it been since “Monster Hunt” brought Chinese-language films into the 20 billion box office era?
It was just over two years, less than two and a half years.

In such a short period of time, Director Zhou has pushed the box office ceiling of Huayu Films to 47 billion!

Do you want to be so exaggerated?
The total box office of “The Martian” is twice that of “Monster Hunt”.

This crazy speed made Han Sanping stunned.

Even towards that guy La Peikang, I couldn’t help but feel envious, jealous and hateful.

Yes, Director Zhou was also very aggressive when he worked with me, breaking all kinds of records and setting many firsts in film history.

But no matter how great Director Zhou is, the box office is only a few billion.

As a result, after I retired, the box office was 30 billion and 40 billion again. “The Martian” almost reached 50 billion, which was really very difficult.

The only thing that made Han Sanping feel a little fortunate was that Zhou Qing had already won all the awards he deserved during his cooperation with him.

Be it the three major awards or the Oscars, he has won them all.

In this regard, La Peikang would definitely not be able to compare with himself.

Because Director Zhou is obviously focusing on making commercial films, and he probably won’t continue to make award-winning films. (End of this chapter)
