In fact, although the original version of “Detective Chinatown 2” had high box office, the quality of the film was just average.

The score on a certain platform is 6.6, which is not low, but definitely not high either. It is considered to be above the passing line.

Or to be more precise, it is at the level of “A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: India” after Zhou Qing intervened.

This is actually enough for ordinary commercial films, but not for Zhou Qing.

Therefore, Zhou Qing also optimized the script of “Detective Chinatown 2”.

Coupled with Chen Sicheng’s directing level, Zhou Qing believes that the overall quality of “Detective Chinatown 2” will definitely be greatly improved.

Zhou Qing estimated that there should be no problem getting over 7.5 points.

“As long as you can maintain the quality of the first film, this sequel will definitely be good.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing smiled and said to Chen Sicheng.

Putting aside other things, Chen Sicheng does have some talent when it comes to directing and making movies.

“I can still guarantee this.”

Chen Sicheng also smiled, and there was great confidence in his words.

Directing a movie is not a problem for him at all.

Although “Detective Chinatown 1” is Chen Sicheng’s debut as a film director, Chen Sicheng did not feel it was difficult at all.

Director Zhou only proposed to maintain the standard of the first part, which was a piece of cake for Chen Sicheng.

“But Director Zhou, I have another idea I want to discuss with you. I plan to build a ‘Tang Detective Universe’. What do you think?”

After a brief communication between the two, Chen Sicheng straightened his face and spoke to Zhou Qing.

Tang Detective Universe?

Zhou Qing remained calm on the surface, but his heart was immediately moved.

As a person who has been reborn, he naturally knows what Chen Sicheng’s “Tang Detective Universe” is all about.

However, with Zhou Qing’s current level, there is no need to do such “little tricks”.

So apart from filming the “Detective Chinatown” series of movies, Zhou Qing has no plans to do anything else.

I didn’t expect that Chen Sicheng’s mind was so flexible. Even if Zhou Qing didn’t mention it, he would have thought of this again.

“What is the ‘Tang Detective Universe’? Tell me about it.”

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment and decided to have a chat with Chen Sicheng.

Since Chen Sicheng has this idea, let Chen Sicheng do it. It won’t do any harm to me anyway.

“The so-called ‘Tang Detective Universe’…”

Chen Sicheng began to talk in front of Zhou Qing, giving a long and logical speech.

He is indeed an extremely shrewd businessman.

If Zhou Qing was not a reborn person, he would have been instigated by Chen Sicheng’s various theories.

Even though Zhou Qing had the advantage of being reborn, he still agreed with Chen Sicheng’s theories.

Therefore, Zhou Qing did not object to the specific operation proposed by Chen Sicheng: developing a web drama of “Detective Chinatown”.

This “Detective Chinatown” web drama is an important step for Chen Sicheng to build the Detective Chinatown universe.

“It’s still a little early now. I plan to wait until I finish filming Detective Chinatown 2 before making this web series.”

After obtaining Zhou Qing’s consent, Chen Sicheng was very excited and told Zhou Qing about his plan.

Zhou Qing remained calm on the surface, but an idea flashed through his mind.

He must have personally reviewed the script of the online drama “Detective Chinatown”.

By then, the last case must be deleted.

I don’t know what Chen Sicheng was thinking about that case, but it was just there to make up the numbers and seriously lowered the quality of the entire drama.

This would definitely not be acceptable to Zhou Qing.

Of course, this is all a matter for the future. We will talk about it after Chen Sicheng finishes filming “Detective Chinatown 2” and finishes the script for the “Detective Chinatown” web drama.

The two sides then communicated on some other related issues, and then Chen Sicheng left in a hurry.

Go and get busy with the preparations for “Detective Chinatown 2”.

“Xiao Liu.”

Zhou Qing then called his assistant over and asked him to handle the project filing matters of “Detective Chinatown 2”.

“Wu Jing, when will you be able to finish writing the script for Wolf Warrior 2?”

Afterwards, Zhou Qing also called Wu Jing over and got a general understanding of the situation.

He knew that although Wu Jing had just proposed to him that he wanted to shoot “Wolf Warrior 2”, the other party had actually been preparing the script of “Wolf Warrior 2” in private since the filming of “Wolf Warrior”.

“Part of the script for Wolf Warrior 2 has been completed. The direction and outline of the story have been determined, and one-third of the first draft has been written.”

“But I’m not entirely satisfied with it. I plan to write a few more versions and weigh them carefully. I’m currently reorganizing my writing team.”

“I can’t say exactly when the script for Wolf Warrior 2 will be finished, but it will probably take at least a year.”

After some estimation and consideration, Wu Jing gave Zhou Qing a rough estimate of the cycle.

This made Zhou Qing a little speechless.

Another year to work on a script?
This does not include the huge amount of time Wu Jing has already invested in the early stages.

In fact, this cycle is not fast for general movie script creation, but it is normal.

The adaptation of some scripts will take even longer.

However, Zhou Qing has become accustomed to the pace of producing scripts every half a month. Faced with such a long period of time, he is really not used to it.

“It was a miscalculation.”

Zhou Qing couldn’t help but secretly complain in his heart.

If I had known earlier, I would have helped Wu Jing write “Wolf Warrior 2”, which would have saved a lot of time.

But now, since Wu Jing has already started working on the script, it is obviously inappropriate for Zhou Qing to make such a suggestion.

He didn’t say anything more.

Never mind, even if the period is longer, considering the explosive box office of “Wolf Warrior 2”, the wait is worth it.

What’s more, Zhou Qing is not doing nothing and just waiting for “Wolf Warrior 2”.

Zhou Qing Pictures is very busy at the moment, with many films being produced in full swing.

Apart from “Shock Wave”, which has been completed but not yet released, there are two other films, “A Good Show” and “Nobody”, which have not yet reached post-production.

The post-production of “A Good Show” will have to wait until Huang Bo finishes filming “Crazy Alien”.

We can’t also forget Wu Ershan’s “The Mojin: The Lost Tomb”.

The film was actually completed in June last year, but the post-production has not been completed yet.

There is nothing that can be done about this, since “Mojin: The Lost Tomb” is a visual effects blockbuster.

The post-production period is much longer than that of ordinary movies.

Even if we ignore the “Detective Chinatown 2” which has just started, these movies alone will be enough to keep Zhou Qing Pictures busy for a while.

In this case, it doesn’t matter if “Wolf Warrior 2” is slower.

So Zhou Qing didn’t take it to heart, but started working on the script of “The Wandering Earth”.

In fact, this task is not difficult for Zhou Qing. You know, the original version of “The Wandering Earth” is a high-quality masterpiece.

The score on Douban is as high as 7.9 points, and this is when more than two million people participated in the rating. In other words, Zhou Qing only needs to copy the script of “The Wandering Earth” and does not need to optimize it.

According to Zhou Qing’s usual experience, it would probably take about ten days to complete, which would be very easy and enjoyable.

clap clap clap!
clap clap clap!
Therefore, during the next period of time, Zhou Qing’s work was very simple.

It can basically be summed up in one action: typing.

Of course, there are also some basic daily affairs of Zhou Qing Pictures and Crown Pictures. Fortunately, Director Chen and Director Yang are handling them, so Zhou Qing doesn’t have to worry too much.

Compared to this, Zhou Qing was more concerned about another thing.

whats the matter?
The box office of “The Martian”.

Before the postponement of “The Martian”, Zhou Qing was already worried about the box office performance after the postponement and had no confidence.

As a result, facts also proved that Zhou Qing was not always favored by God.

Although the box office performance of “The Martian” was very hot during its normal release period, it has been declining since the postponement.

At the beginning, the daily box office was still five or six million, but it continued to decline over time.

Right now the daily box office has dropped to one or two million.

Judging from this trend, the final box office revenue from the postponement will only be tens of millions at most.

It can’t even break 100 million.

Then naturally, the beautiful vision of “The Martian” to hit 50 billion will definitely not be achieved.

“It’s really strange. The box office was so good before, why can’t it be maintained after the postponement?”

The girl was so depressed about this. The grand goal of 50 billion was ultimately not achieved.

“Maybe you’ve seen everything you need to see?”

Zhou Qing spread his hands and could only make such a guess.

It is now 18, and the national average ticket price is about 35 yuan per ticket. Of course, there has been an increase during the Lunar New Year holiday, but it is still only 39.7 yuan per ticket on average.

So, according to a simple estimate, there are probably nearly 1.2 million people who have watched “The Martian” so far.

Considering the market environment in 18 and the number of big screens, this number is already very, very astonishing.

It is indeed difficult to go further.

So if you think about it carefully, it’s not too strange that the box office of “The Martian” is not doing well after the postponement.

“What a shame, it almost broke 50 billion.”

Liu Yifei also agreed with Zhou Qing’s reasoning, but still looked regretful.

It would be fine if it was far away, but the key is that “The Martian” is not far away, it is really only one step away.

“There’s nothing to regret. If The Martian doesn’t break the blockbuster, the next movie will.”

Zhou Qing was much more nonchalant about this and simply smiled at the girl.

I’m definitely not trying to fool girls, but I’m telling the truth which couldn’t be more honest.

That’s right, “The Wandering Earth” has the potential to break 50 billion.

Zhou Qing indeed thought so.

You have to know that when “The Wandering Earth” was first released in the original time and space, it was generally not favored by the industry and the audience.

Firstly, in the domestic market environment at that time, science fiction films were just the first to be released and were subject to much criticism.

Because before “The Wandering Earth”, there was really no successful precedent for domestic science fiction films.

Unlike now, Zhou Qing has completely opened the door to domestic science fiction films through “Source Code” and “The Martian” and has hyped up the market.

Secondly, the original director Guo Fan did not have much appeal.

Before filming “The Wandering Earth”, the other party had only filmed a youth film “You Are the One Sitting Next to Me”.

Youth films have always been at the bottom of the contempt chain.

As a result, such a director suddenly made a big leap and made a science fiction blockbuster?

It seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, the initial performance of “The Wandering Earth” was not very good. The box office on the first day was only a pitiful 8000 million, which did not even break million.

It ranked only fourth, below the three movies “Crazy Alien”, “Speeding Life” and “The New King of Comedy” which were released on the same day.

Quite average.

No matter how you look at it, it was not the big hit during the Lunar New Year holiday that year.

But even in this situation, “The Wandering Earth” achieved a box office comeback thanks to its high reputation, and eventually won a box office of 46.87 billion yuan.

Nearly 47 million.

So what now?
The market environment is completely different, and with the director changed to Zhou Qing, “The Wandering Earth” will undoubtedly be a hit from beginning to end.

Is it difficult to add another 47 million to the original box office of 3 billion?
Judging from all these circumstances, the box office of “The Wandering Earth” exceeding 50 billion is really not just talk!

Of course, then again, even if Zhou Qing was just overthinking these things, and “The Wandering Earth” unfortunately failed to break 50 billion, what does it matter?
“Changjin Lake” has broken 50 billion!

Therefore, breaking 50 billion is really no big deal for Zhou Qing.

“That’s right. For you, breaking 50 billion is not difficult!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly in agreement.

No other director would dare to shout out such a groundbreaking slogan as a 50 billion box office, but Zhou Qing?

It’s really nothing!

Anyway, the girl has full confidence in Zhou Qing.

“By the way, have you memorized your script? Is Divergent about to start filming?”

After chatting with Liu Yifei for a while, Zhou Qing thought of something and looked at Liu Yifei and asked.

According to feedback from Director Yang, the preparations for “Divergent” are nearing completion and are expected to start filming in mid-April.

“Need I tell you? I’ve already known it by heart.”

Liu Yifei said confidently.

“Divergent” is an important work for her to enter Hollywood, and she takes it very seriously.

There is no need for Zhou Qing to say much, he has been studying the script whenever he has free time these days.

We can definitely keep up with this schedule by starting filming in the middle of next month.

Zhou Qing nodded, knowing what was going on, and didn’t say anything more.

“The first trailer of the South Korean action movie “The Witch” was released. It is tentatively scheduled to be released on June 6. The film is a remake of the movie of the same name “The Witch” directed by Zhou. “

“The Korean version of the movie of the same name, “The Witch,” is about to be released. The trailer shows exciting fight scenes that are so addictive.”

On March 3, a piece of movie information from South Korea attracted great attention from the Chinese entertainment industry.

There is no other reason, this movie information is still closely related to Huayu.

At the end of 16, South Korea bought the remake rights of “The Witch” and started remaking it. Now it’s only been over a year, have the trailers come out?
This speed is much faster than the Japanese remake of “Your Name”.

Precisely because “The Witch” is also a remake of Zhou Qing’s movie of the same name, everyone is still paying close attention to it.

Both “Source Code” and “Your Name”, two films remade by Zhou Qing, achieved good results.

Especially “Your Name”, which was a huge hit. It is no exaggeration to describe it as explosive.

I just don’t know what will happen to this “Witch”? (End of this chapter)
