Of course, we can’t forget Wu Jing.

Although Wu Jing’s current box office data is not bad and he has starred in many hit movies.

But compared with Zhu Yawen, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, it lacks the truly top-notch hits.

Even Wu Jing hasn’t had a movie that grossed over 10 billion yuan.

But this is only temporary.

In the future, Wu Jing’s “The Wandering Earth” and “The Battle at Lake Changjin” will be blockbuster movies with a box office of 4 or 5 billion yuan.

So, in the next few years, several male actors under Zhou Qing Pictures will each be the leading actor in a box office movie with over 30 billion!

All top bosses.

This is really not an exaggeration at all.

You should know that apart from animated blockbusters like “Nezha”, the box office champion in Chinese entertainment film history is “Changjin Lake”, with a total box office of more than 50 billion!
A box office of 30 billion or 40 billion would be enough to rank among the top works in film history.

As a result, more than half of them were starred by male actors under his own company!

I have to say, it’s a little bit perverted.

Thinking about this, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

What about the actresses?

Zhou Qing Pictures has only two female artists: Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying.

Zhao Liying has many hit TV series and movies, and her movies have also achieved a good result of over 10 billion yuan, making her a top-notch star in the circle.

But he can only be regarded as an ordinary first-line celebrity.

But Liu Yifei?

He is now an international celebrity!

I have already left my peers far behind.

With this calculation, the artists under Zhou Qing Pictures are truly amazing.

Zhou Qing, the number one director in the Chinese entertainment industry, has truly remarkable abilities.

“Director Zhou, Director Huang Jianxin is here to visit by appointment.”

While he was thinking about these messy things in his mind, the assistant knocked on the door, interrupting Zhou Qing’s thoughts.

Huang Jianxin?
Zhou Qing was slightly stunned.

This guy is a well-known big shot in the circle.

He is not only a director, but also a screenwriter and producer. He is also the dean of the Xiamen University Film School and vice chairman of the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

In addition to these superficial titles, it has another more important identity:

Han Sanping’s old classmate!
He is also an old classmate who has a very good relationship with Han Sanping.

For example, the “tribute film trilogy” of “The Founding of a Republic”, “The Founding of a Party” and “The Founding of an Army” were all produced by Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin.

Huang Jianxin and Han Sanping co-directed the first two films, and served as producer and screenwriter for the last one.

If you don’t look at anything else, just looking at this resume is enough to explain the problem.

For a film like “Founding of a Republic”, is it something that ordinary people can participate in?
Including the future “Changjin Lake”, Huang Jianxin is also the chief producer.

Simply put, Huang Jianxin appears in almost all the films produced by the Film Bureau and its subordinate units.

Zhou Qing would naturally not neglect such a person easily.

But why did Huang Jianxin come to see me this time?

Because of the advantage of foresight of a reborn person, Zhou Qing had a vague guess after a little thought.

“Let’s make an appointment for the morning of the day after tomorrow.”

After briefly calculating his schedule, Zhou Qing gave this answer.

“Understood, Director Zhou.”

The young assistant immediately took the order and left.

“Director Zhou, it’s been a while since we last met.”

At 6 a.m. on June 9, Huang Jianxin arrived at Zhou Qing Pictures on time and greeted Zhou Qing with a smile.

Both of them have a close relationship with Han Sanping and have dealt with him several times.

I can’t say I’m very familiar with him, but I’m definitely not unfamiliar with him.

“Director Huang, please come in.”

Zhou Qing greeted the other party enthusiastically and asked him to sit down.

“I was drinking tea with Lao Han a few days ago, and we were talking about you, Director Zhou.”

“Really? What did Uncle Han say about me?”

With Han Sanping as a bond, the two of them had a pretty pleasant time chatting.

However, after drinking two cups of tea and when the time was right, Huang Jianxin subconsciously straightened his face.

Zhou Qing immediately understood what was going on and looked at Huang Jianxin calmly.

The main part of the drama is here!
“Director Zhou, next year is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China…”

Huang Jianxin began to tell the story.

As for his specific purpose, it was similar to what Zhou Qing guessed. He came here just for one thing.

Invite Zhou Qing to be the chief director and direct a movie.

That’s right, Huang Jianxin came here as a producer.

So what kind of movie did he ask Zhou Qing to make?
It was the blockbuster film dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the National Day: “My Motherland and Me”.

This film was not just a task assigned by the Film Bureau, but also had the approval of its superior unit, the Central Propaganda Department.

However, the specific executing unit is no longer China Film, but another directly subordinate unit of the Central Propaganda Department: China Film Distribution Co., Ltd.

This company may not be as well-known as China Film Group, but no one dares to underestimate it.

Apart from China Film Group, these are the only two organizations that have the right to distribute imported films.

It can be seen here how high the level of “My Motherland and I” is.

In addition, the total box office in 19 exceeded 30 billion yuan, and the score on a certain platform was as high as 7.6 points.

It can be said that it was a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office, and there is also an extraordinary meaning behind it.

No matter how you look at it, it is the most top-notch and important film project in the industry.

For most directors, this opportunity is like pie in the sky and there is no reason to refuse it.

But Zhou Qing?
After some thought, he politely rejected Huang Jianxin.

“Director Huang, personally, I really want to participate in this glorious mission.”

“But unfortunately, the production period of my film The Wandering Earth is expected to last until September next year, so I am really too busy to do it.”

Zhou Qing’s words were definitely not just a perfunctory response to Huang Jianxin, but were the real truth.

“The Wandering Earth” is enough to keep him busy, and Zhou Qing really doesn’t have the time to direct “My People, My Country”.

Even if it is just directing a short film in “My Motherland and Me”, it will take at least three or four months from preparation to completion.

This does not include the time spent writing the script.

Zhou Qing really doesn’t have the energy.

Otherwise, due to this delay, “The Wandering Earth” might not even be able to make it to the Lunar New Year box office next year.

“That’s such a shame, Director Zhou was my first choice.”

Huang Jianxin shook his head with regret.

This is definitely not a perfunctory answer to Zhou Qing, it is also the truth.

In terms of ability and rank, Zhou Qing is undoubtedly the top seed.

But since the other party is unable to spare any effort, what else can Huang Jianxin do?
I can only give up.

Since Zhou Qing is unable to direct, we can only go to Master Zhang or Poet Chen.

Huang Jianxin just couldn’t believe that all these top directors were not available. After bidding farewell to Zhou Qing, he immediately went to see Master Zhang.

In his opinion, Master Zhang is ranked above Poet Chen.

Although poet Chen has never thought that he is worse than Master Zhang, and even thinks that he is stronger than Master Zhang, everyone has a scale in their hearts to judge who is more capable.

But unfortunately, Master Zhang is also not available.

He has already been confirmed to direct the 70th National Day Gala!

Well, I can only go find poet Chen again.

……

“Director Zhou, the underground city scenery is ready.”

“Director Zhou, the props for the transporter are ready.”

“Director Zhou, the first version of the dynamic preview is ready.”

On the side of “The Wandering Earth”, Zhou Qing is still busy, needless to say.

Although the tasks are numerous and complex, thanks to Zhou Qing, everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

Judging from the current progress, there will be no problem in starting filming in August as Zhou Qing expected.

Wu Jing’s “Shock Wave” performed pretty well at the box office. In just half a month, it grossed 3.6 million yuan.

To be honest, this momentum is actually better than the original movie.

It’s just a pity that “Jurassic World 2” was released on June 6th, which is a huge monster.

Although it was not as powerful as “Avengers 3”, it still earned 2.17 million yuan on the day of its release.

For some other less competitive films, the lethality is almost fatal.

“Shock Wave” was also affected a lot.

The daily box office was almost cut by one-third on the same day.

As for the final total box office, it will most likely have no problem breaking 4 million.

But whether it can break 5 million or something like that, there is a big question mark.

But then again, even if the box office was only 4 million, “Shock Wave” is still a hit!
Zhou Qing didn’t care too much about it.

Compared to “Shock Wave”, Zhou Qing is now more concerned about another movie: “Nobody”.

The box office potential of this film is much greater than that of “Shock Wave”.

Because the film will be released next month, all-round publicity and promotion work began in June.

Unlike the original time and space when no one paid attention to “Nobody” at the beginning, the popularity and attention of “Nobody” at this time are still very high.

It’s simple, this is a film produced by Zhou Qing Pictures!

Directed by Lu Yang and written by Zhou Qing, this configuration is a guarantee of quality.

People in the circle are looking forward to “Nobody”.

Zhou Qing was also looking forward to this.

In the original time and space, because it was not taken seriously at the beginning, “Nobody” ultimately failed to break 10 billion.

But now, Zhou Qing is confident that his own production “The Unknown” will definitely break 10 billion.

So what is the truth?
“Nobody” was officially released in early July, and the box office revenue on the first day was revealed on the same day.

It’s much better than “Shock Wave”, with a full 8100 million!
What is the concept of 8100 million?
The big hit “Lost in Thailand” only grossed 8000 million on its first day.

It’s hard to say what will happen next, but the start of “Nobody” was even more popular than “Lost in Thailand”.

Even though it was only a little bit popular.

But this is also an indisputable fact.

“I regret it. I really regret it so much!”

On the set of “Crazy Alien”, Huang Bo slapped his thigh in regret.

At the beginning, Zhou Qing had mentioned “The Unknown” to Huang Bo and explicitly asked Huang Bo whether he wanted to act in it or not.

Lian Luyang also discussed this issue with Huang Bo.

But Huang Bo was busy with his “A Good Show” at that time, so he refused.

And now, you tell me that I turned down a movie with a box office of 10 billion?
A box office of 10 billion these days is a real mega hit!
Huang Bo regrets his decision.

Why was I so anxious at that time?

So why are you in a hurry?
It’s just two or three months, is it really impossible to spare the time?

The key point is that I have to shoot “Crazy Alien” now, so won’t “A Good Show” be delayed?
“Nobody” was really turned down in vain.

If there is a pill to regret, Huang Bo would have to get himself one.

But unfortunately, there is no such thing in the world.

Huang Bo had no choice but to suppress the pain and regret in his heart and continue to devote himself to the filming of “Crazy Alien”.

“Not bad, very good.”

Compared to Huang Bo’s annoyance, Zhou Qing was just excited and satisfied.

Judging from the current data, I can’t say whether the box office of “Nobody” can surpass “Lost in Thailand”, but there is no problem in breaking 10 billion.

It can be said that Zhou Qing’s expectations were fully met.

What’s more important is that the cost of “Nobody” is low, only 3000 million!

In this respect, it is not much different from “Lost in Thailand”.

From all aspects, “Nobody” is a super hit comparable to “Lost in Thailand”.

Of course Zhou Qing was very satisfied.

It is also worth mentioning that Wu Jing’s “Shock Wave” was also taken off the screen, and the specific box office did not exceed Zhou Qing’s expectations.

Because it was weakened by “Jurassic World 2”, it ultimately failed to break the 5 million box office mark.

It only grossed 4.23 million yuan at the box office.

It’s similar to the original “Shock Wave”.

As for the money Zhou Qing earned, it is definitely impossible to compare with “The Unknown”, but it is also a very successful business case.

“Director Zhou, the post-production of Mojin: The Lost Tomb has been completed!”

In mid-July, Wu Ershan appeared at Zhou Qing Pictures and reported something to Zhou Qing.

This made Zhou Qing feel excited.

It’s not easy to be tolerated, it’s really not easy.

After so much trouble, is the finished film of “Mojin: The Last Dragon” finally out?
“Director Zhou, I can assure you that Mojin: The Last Dragon is better than Painted Skin 2!”

Wu Ershan was quite confident in “The Lost Tomb” and he was very confident in front of Zhou Qing.

Of course, then again, the effort the other party spent on “Mojin: The Last Dragon” was indeed far greater than that on “Painted Skin 2”.

“Director Wu Ershan, you really whetted my appetite.”

Zhou Qing smiled and watched the movie with Wu Ershan.

There is no need to say much about the quality of the finished film. It’s the original crew, so what accidents could happen?

“The Mojin: The Lost Legend” is just as Zhou Qing remembered it, a high-quality “The Mojin: The Lost Legend”.

No, strictly speaking, it should be three points better.

After all, the script was optimized by Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing is still very optimistic about the market prospects of “Mojin: The Lost Tomb”.

As for the release date of “Mojin: The Lost Tomb”, Zhou Qing made a decision after just a simple thought.

As for the summer season, that would be too hasty, after all, it’s already mid-June.

Coupled with the huge box office potential of “Mojin: The Legend”, the best choice is definitely to send it to the Lunar New Year holiday. (End of this chapter)
