“Director Zhou, Yifei, you’re here!”

In early February, Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei both appeared at the premiere of “Detective Chinatown 2”.

It immediately ignited the already lively scene.

You have to know that he is the number one director in Chinese entertainment.

The first person standing at the top of the entire Chinese entertainment pyramid!
Such a heavyweight figure hasn’t appeared at any movie premiere for a long time.

I didn’t expect that Chen Sicheng actually invited him.

But on second thought, everyone felt that it was completely reasonable.

“Detective Chinatown 2” was originally produced by Zhou Qing Pictures, and the script was written by Director Zhou.

It is no surprise that Director Zhou strongly supports it.

“Director Zhou.”

“Director Zhou!”

In an instant, Zhou Qing became the most handsome guy in the crowd.

Completely stole the limelight from director Chen Sicheng.

Including Liu Yifei, who was also enthusiastically sought after by everyone at the scene.

But Chen Sicheng was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, he was very happy to see it happen.

The greater Zhou Qing’s influence, the hotter the scene, and the more heat and attention it will bring to “Detective Chinatown 2”.

The effect is better, isn’t it?
I can only say that it was absolutely the right decision to invite Zhou Qing.

“Hahaha, I’m laughing so hard!”

“Excellent, very exciting, just as exciting as the first one.”

“It’s still the same familiar taste, but it’s even better made.”

“You can always trust Director Zhou’s scripts!”

The movie viewing session started soon, and the laughter in the entire theater almost never stopped from beginning to end.

When the screening ended, exclamations of admiration could be heard from all over the theater.

Fun!

There was a gleam in everyone’s eyes, and there was only one feeling: it was so addictive!
The excitement of “Detective Chinatown 2” is in no way inferior to “Detective Chinatown 1”, and it makes people intoxicated.

I can only say that Director Zhou’s script is really reliable.

The feedback from everyone at the scene about “Detective Chinatown 2” was extremely enthusiastic.

Seeing this situation completely, Chen Sicheng couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

Judging from the current grand occasion, the box office of “Detective Chinatown 2” will definitely be good, right?

There is still hope of hitting the box office champion during the Spring Festival!

When he thought of this, Chen Sicheng felt that his whole body was filled with strength.

“Director Zhou, what do you think the box office of Detective Chinatown 2 will be?”

During the interview, a reporter asked Zhou Qing this question specifically.

This is a very common topic at premieres, and it can even be said to be a “fixed program” at premieres.

I’ve been asked this question at almost every premiere.

But generally speaking, the people being asked are film directors.

But who is the bigger star Zhou Qing who is here now?
“I don’t think I need to say much about how “Detective Chinatown 2″ is. The long-lasting applause and screams before are enough to say it all.”

“I am confident that the box office of Detective Chinatown 2 will exceed 30 billion!”

Facing all the media and audiences, Zhou Qingyun spoke these bold words calmly.

30 million?
The scene immediately became lively.

Everyone knows that Director Zhou never brags about this, so is he so optimistic about “Detective Chinatown 2”?

You know, at present, apart from Director Zhou’s movies, no other movies in the entire Chinese entertainment industry have ever achieved a box office of 30 billion!

The highest record is only Stephen Chow’s “The Mermaid”, with a total box office of 28 billion!

So Director Zhou means that “Detective Chinatown 2” will become the first movie “not directed by Zhou Qing” to break 30 billion?

Can “Detective Chinatown 2” really reach this level?
“Director Zhou Qing made a surprise appearance at the premiere of Detective Chinatown 2, saying that the box office of Detective Chinatown 2 could exceed 30 billion yuan.”

“Will the second 30 billion box office movie in film history be born? Director Zhou made a bold statement at the premiere of “Detective Chinatown 2″.”

Zhou Qing’s remarks at the premiere of “Detective Chinatown 2” were exposed, sparking extremely heated discussions throughout the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

For those who have not seen the film and don’t know what “Detective Chinatown 2” is about, Zhou Qing’s tone is undoubtedly very harsh.

After all, the box office of the first “Detective Chinatown” was only a few billion!

Even if everyone believes that the box office of “Detective Chinatown 2” will be better than the first one, more than billion is enough, right?

More than 2 billion is already an extremely rare and good result.

More than 3 billion is an achievement that only Director Zhou has unlocked.

But Director Zhou believes that “Detective Chinatown 2” can directly surpass 30 billion and reach more than billion in one go?

Even with Zhou Qing’s rank, mainstream public opinion in the circle still questioned him.

Even director Chen Sicheng never thought that “Detective Chinatown 2” could break 30 billion.

So what is the final truth?

Is Zhou Qing exaggerating?
On February 2, the first day of the Lunar New Year, “Detective Chinatown 5” and several other heavyweight blockbusters were released.

The corresponding data was immediately exposed, and it can be said that many people’s eyes were dazzled.

There’s no other reason, this year’s Spring Festival movie season is really exaggerated.

The statistics of those blockbuster movies are really explosive.

The first was Ning Hao’s “Crazy Alien”, which topped the list and grossed over 4 million yuan on the day of its release.

Many people’s jaws dropped.

You have to know that director Zhou’s “The Martian” only made more than 3 million yuan on the first day of its release.

As a result, “Crazy Alien” actually reached 4 million!

The top Hollywood blockbuster “Avengers 3” is only at this level.

I can only say that Ning Hao’s “Crazy Series” is really amazing.

So what about Chen Sicheng’s “Detective Chinatown 2”?

The results were also extremely impressive, ranking second with a first-day box office of 3.8 million yuan, not too far behind “Crazy Alien”.

However, it is worth mentioning that in the original time and space, the first-day box office of “Detective Chinatown 2” was actually only 3.4 million yuan.

Now because of Zhou Qing’s intervention, the performance of “Detective Chinatown 2” is better.

Correspondingly, the total box office will most likely be better.

It can be said that Zhou Qing, the producer, is very satisfied.

In addition, Han Han’s “Flying Life” was also extremely powerful, ranking third with a first-day box office of 3.1 million.

However, Stephen Chow’s “The New King of Comedy” was a big surprise and was ranked last.

The box office on the first day was only 2.6 million yuan, not even reaching 3 million yuan.

Of course, even so, it is much better than Cheng Long’s “Detective Pu Songling”.

Brother Jackie Chan was the one who was really embarrassed. He only took in 6600 million at the box office on the first day and completely became cannon fodder.

“30 billion! Can Detective Chinatown 2 really break 30 billion!”

“Director Zhou is right!”

As the director of Detective Chinatown, Chen Sicheng was so excited that he almost jumped up, his face flushed.

With a first-day box office of nearly 4 million, even “The Martian” surpassed it.

Based on this data, “Detective Chinatown 2” is indeed heading towards 30 billion level!

Holy crap, is “Detective Chinatown 2” actually this popular?

Will I, Chen Sicheng, also become a director with a box office of 30 billion?
You know, there is only Director Zhou in this club. When Chen Sicheng thought of this, he felt his heart beating violently.

This “Detective Chinatown 2” is enough to bring you to the top!
But thinking about the fact that “Crazy Alien” actually surpassed “Detective Chinatown 2”, Chen Sicheng became a little unhappy.

He was full of confidence at the beginning and wanted “Detective Chinatown 2” to surpass other films and dominate the Spring Festival period.

“Although my senior’s movie currently has the best data, its reputation is far worse than that of Detective Chinatown 2.”

“Plus, the box office gap between this and Detective Chinatown 2 is not too big, and we are not far ahead. I’m afraid it won’t be long before it’s overtaken.”

“This year’s Spring Festival champion will most likely be Detective Chinatown 2.”

In the luxurious villa, Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei were having dinner while casually analyzing the situations of these blockbuster movies.

In fact, it can’t be considered an analysis. As a reborn person, he already knew all this.

“I’m afraid my senior brother will be very depressed by then.”

When she thought of this, Liu Yifei couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.

As soon as the data came out, Ning Hao called Zhou Qing to show off!
I can only say that this is a little too early to pretend.

“But the most depressed ones should be Director Stephen Chow and Brother Cheng Long.”

Liu Yifei then changed the subject and sighed.

What is the status of these two people in Chinese entertainment?

The former super boss!

As a result, the car overturned so badly.

It would have been fine if he couldn’t beat Ning Hao and Chen Sicheng, but who would have thought that he couldn’t even beat Han Han.

Especially Brother Cheng Long, he hasn’t even worked on “Boonie Bears”.

The box office of “Boonie Bears” at least exceeded 100 million on the first day.

It’s miserable. It’s really too miserable.

Liu Yifei couldn’t bear to watch it anymore.

……

The box office performance of “Crazy Alien” and “Detective Chinatown 2” are exactly the same as Zhou Qing’s “prediction”.

The former was indeed the most explosive at the beginning, but while it was a box office hit, it also received a large number of negative reviews.

There are signs of word-of-mouth collapse, which has greatly affected everyone’s enthusiasm for watching movies.

The daily box office of “Crazy Alien” soon began to shrink.

The situation is completely the opposite in “Detective Chinatown 2”.

Although the film lagged behind “Crazy Alien” at the beginning, its reputation is overwhelming.

Almost everyone who has seen it says it is good, and it is the one with the best reputation among the several blockbusters during the Spring Festival.

This high reputation directly fed back into the box office, allowing “Detective Chinatown 2” to overtake the rest in just four days.

Starting from the fifth day, “Detective Chinatown 2” began to sweep the entire Spring Festival period like a whirlwind and was completely unstoppable.

Anyone with eyesight can see that the box office of “Detective Chinatown 2” can really break 30 billion!

Liu Yifei was very happy and satisfied.

Although in terms of personal relationship, Liu Yifei, Zhou Qing and Ning Hao are better friends.

But “Crazy Alien” has nothing to do with Zhou Qing Pictures. It was produced by Ning Hao and Xu Zheng.

On the contrary, “Detective Chinatown 2” is produced exclusively by Zhou Qing Pictures.

That’s our own child!
Under such circumstances, Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei naturally hope that “Detective Chinatown 2” will be more explosive.

“I’m leaving, Zhou Qing.”

After spending the Spring Festival at home, Liu Yifei set off for Hollywood again.

It’s nothing, “Divergent” will be released next month, and the heroine will be busy with publicity and promotion matters again.

It is also worth mentioning that the project of “Divergent 2” has also been launched.

While Zhou Qing was busy with the post-production of “The Wandering Earth”, he also finished writing the script for “Divergent 2”.

After Liu Yifei finishes working on “Divergent 1”, she only needs a simple rest before joining the crew of “Divergent 2”.

“Be careful on the road and call me when you get there.”

After bidding farewell to the girl at the airport, Zhou Qing returned to the luxurious villa.

After paying all the New Year’s greetings and making all the connections, he took a break for a while and then went straight back to Zhou Qing Pictures.

Start to continue working on the post-production of “The Wandering Earth”.

“Qingzi, my “A Good Show” is done!”

At the end of February, Huang Bo appeared in front of Zhou Qing with great interest and shouted to Zhou Qing excitedly.

There was also a hint of emotion in my happiness.

The film was completed in February last year, and now it is the end of January 2.

Due to various delays, the post-production of the film took almost a full year.

Huang Bo couldn’t wait any longer.

But there is no way, because top celebrities like Huang Bo have so many announcements.

For example, right now, Huang Bo has already agreed to Guan Hu to star in “My Motherland and Me”.

According to Guan Hu, “The Eve” directed by the other party is the first chapter of “My Motherland and Me”.

It is still very, very important.

Huang Bo naturally attaches great importance to this movie.

The only consolation is that “A Good Show” was finally completed before the official start of filming.

Otherwise, even if he was interrupted again, Huang Bo would still go to participate.

“Sure, Lao Huang, you’re much faster than Bao Qiang.”

Zhou Qing smiled, put down his work temporarily, and watched the movie as soon as possible.

As for the final result, I am quite satisfied with it.

Although both are first-time directors, it is obvious that the degree of completion of “A Good Show” is better than Wang Baoqiang’s “Journey to India”.

In addition, the script of “A Good Show” was written by Zhou Qing, which further improves the quality of this movie.

Zhou Qing felt that there would be no problem in getting a score of 7.5 or above on Douban.

In other words, “A Good Show” is not just at a passing level, but has reached an excellent level.

Coupled with the huge box office potential of this film and Huang Bo’s own appeal, there is no doubt that “A Good Show” will be a big hit.

So Zhou Qing naturally made the decision to send “A Good Show” to this year’s summer vacation.

In fact, overall, the competition in this year’s summer season is not too fierce.

There are indeed some strong films, but there are no films that are too amazing. The most powerful ones are those that make over 10 billion.

Take July for example.

“Spider-Man: Far From Home” was released on June 6th and grossed 28 billion yuan, which is pretty good.

Another one is “Drug War 2: The King of Drug Lords”, which was released on July 7 and had a total box office of 5 billion yuan.

Other than that, there isn’t much else worth mentioning this month.

The same is true in August.

There was only one film, “The Bravest,” which was released on August 8 and grossed 1 billion yuan.

As for June?

There isn’t even a movie that grossed over 10 billion.

So apart from July, June and August are also suitable times for “A Good Show”.

Of course, the most suitable month is June.

In addition, Zhou Qing also had to reserve time for other films of Zhou Qing Pictures, so he finally chose June. (End of this chapter)
