The director starts by learning from the abilities of renowned directors.

Chapter 111 is scheduled for release. Waiting, Golden Rooster.

"The Romance of Tiger and Rose" had an investment of 1200 million yuan, which is considered a low budget. The director was Gao Linbao, who co-directed "Young Justice Bao" and "A Kick to Settle the Country".

Chen Zhixi signed two new actresses into the company: Mao Xiaotong and Tan Songyun.

Mao Xiaotong auditioned for the role of "Miss Li," a role without even a proper name, highlighting its insignificance. A recent graduate of the Central Academy of Drama, she had barely even played a minor role, let alone a serious one. After waiting a few days following the audition, she thought she had no chance, when she suddenly received a call from Magical Film Company. Upon arriving at the company, she was surprised to find that the person interviewing her was Shen Qing!

Shen Qing personally auditioned for a role without even a name! Mao Xiaotong was completely bewildered. She went through the audition in a daze, and then the role of "Miss Li" was gone, but she got a role called "Chen Chuchu," the second princess of Huayuan City, the second female lead in the drama!

The whole process felt like a dream.

After the interview, Mr. Chen presented an actor agency contract. Mao Xiaotong hesitated for less than half a minute before deciding to sign with Magical Film and Television Company.

Tan Songyun's situation was similar to Mao Xiaotong's. Both were personally interviewed by Shen Qing, both were replaced from minor roles to leading actresses, and both signed with Magical Film and Television Company.

The male lead and second male lead of this drama have been cast as Wang Kai and Chen Xiao, respectively.

In late August, the official Avatar website announced its global release date as December 18, 2009.

James Cameron's highly anticipated blockbuster, fourteen years in the making, is finally here. Its predecessor, Titanic, won 11 Hollywood awards and grossed a record-breaking $18.94 billion in 1998, a record that remains unbroken to this day.

Upon seeing the official announcement of the release date for "Avatar," Shen Qing couldn't help but feel excited.

With the global success of Avatar, cinemas worldwide will invest heavily in upgrading their 3D equipment. After these upgrades, cinemas will urgently need content to fill the screens and recoup costs. Meanwhile, audiences worldwide are deeply impressed by Avatar's unprecedented 3D effects, leaving countless fans wanting more. The market will then be in dire need of another 3D film.

At this point, if a truly high-quality 3D movie were to be released, perfectly following the global 3D craze sparked by "Avatar," Shen Qing dared not even imagine what kind of success the film would achieve.

The best time-travel card card was the movie "Alice in Wonderland". Although it was called 3D, it was actually a pseudo-3D converted to 3D in post-production.

But this pseudo-3D movie, whose 3D effects were riddled with problems, still managed to gross over $10 billion worldwide.

Its North American opening weekend box office reached a staggering $1.16 million!

Looking at the entire history of Hollywood films, it is also the highest-grossing non-sequel film in its opening weekend.

Avatar only grossed $7300 million in its opening weekend.

Avatar upgraded film equipment worldwide, while Alice in Wonderland precisely capitalized on the biggest benefits of this equipment upgrade.

In this life, it is only natural that Shen Qing will reap the greatest benefits.

The post-production work for "Gravity" is expected to be completed by October, which is plenty of time.

《阿凡达》全球公映日期定档12月18日，那幺沈青就决定将《地心引力》的公映日期定在2010年的2月26日。

This is the 11th week since Avatar's release, by which time its box office potential will have been largely exhausted.

This also happened a week before the release of "Alice in Wonderland," a lucky winner who precisely hijacked the original timeline.

February 26, 2010, was the date that Shen Qing finally confirmed for the North American release of "Gravity".

However, the domestic release date cannot be the same.

February 26, 2010 in the Gregorian calendar was the 2th day of the first lunar month, by which time the fervor of the Spring Festival film season had already passed.

In 2010, the concept of the Spring Festival film season had not yet taken off, but just three years later, Stephen Chow raked in a staggering 12.46 billion yuan during the Spring Festival season with "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," while the runner-up at the box office that year only grossed 7.54 million yuan. From then on, the concept of the Spring Festival film season became a sensation in the Chinese film market.

With only three years to go, Shen Qing felt that the energy for the Spring Festival film season had already been accumulated to the point where it was just waiting to be fully unleashed.

The task of establishing a reputation for success during the Spring Festival film season now falls on Shen Qing's shoulders.

Therefore, the domestic release date for "Gravity" will be set for February 14, 2010, which is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Shen Qing called Chen Zhixi to his office and informed her of the release schedule for "Gravity".

"I plan to release 'Gravity' in China on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is February 14, 2010."

The global release date is set for February 26th.

"it is good."

"The Source Code is scheduled for release in early December, and the opening credits will include a trailer for Gravity."

"What about other movies released at the end of the year?"

"We'll put trailers on every film that can be shown on screen, including '2012,' 'The Founding of a Republic,' 'A Simple Noodle Story,' and 'Bodyguards and Assassins.' Whether it's using connections or throwing money at it, we won't let any film that can be shown on screen slip by."

"it is good."

"By the way, I want the opening sequence of Avatar to be the same as the trailer for our Gravity."

"It shouldn't be too difficult. You can insert multiple GGs at the beginning of each movie. There's enough space, as long as you're willing to spend the money."

Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was ready; all that was left was for Avatar to unleash a 3D revolution globally. He wondered what kind of success Gravity would achieve. Shen Qing was a little nervous, but mostly excited—excited to be making history.

"The Unknown" officially ended its theatrical run some time ago, with a final box office of 3.57 million yuan, exceeding media predictions of 3.4 million yuan.

The amount exceeded 1700 million.

Shen Qing was extremely satisfied with the box office results.

Preliminary calculations indicate that the gross profit is in the hundreds of millions.

The movie I promised Yang Mi is starting to take shape; it's the one that's been filmed in multiple countries, "Back to 20".

"Years Old". However, doing everything themselves for such a low-budget film would be both making a mountain out of a molehill and a waste of time. But judging from Yang Mi's words, she actually hopes that Shen Qing will direct it himself.

Before we knew it, it was the end of August, and at that time, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" finally started filming secretly in Hengdian.

Liu Yifei still has the same problem: she's hesitant to make facial expressions, while the role of Miss Duan requires her to be completely uninhibited. Miss Duan is brave, fierce, decisive, and bold; Liu Yifei, on the other hand, is gentle and delicate, like a lady from a wealthy family.

But it is precisely because Liu Yifei's previous image was that of a gentle, delicate, and ethereal lady that when she completely subverted her previous image and transformed into a brave, fierce, decisive, and bold exorcist, a strong contrast was created, giving the audience who were familiar with her a certain surprise.

"It's okay, just wait a bit longer. Don't be afraid to make expressions. With your natural beauty, even if you lose control of your expression, you'll still look beautiful. Even a rotten vegetable leaf falling on your head will look like a hairpin."

"No, it's just that when I make exaggerated facial expressions, the defects in my teeth become visible."

"No, don't worry, that's not a defect."

"You're just trying to fool me again."

"You have to trust my aesthetic sense—well then, I'll be there throughout the post-production editing process, and if I really capture an unflattering photo, I'll definitely cut it out."

Shen Qing did a lot of mental work on her, doing it on set during the day and in bed at night, and it finally had some effect. The number of takes in post-production gradually decreased.

By mid-October, with filming nearly halfway complete, Shen Qing temporarily left the crew to attend the 27th China Golden Rooster Awards.

In the past, Shen Qing would attend these kinds of events whenever he had time, and he wouldn't attend if he didn't have time. He had won some small prizes, but he had never won a big prize. This time, the judging committee required him to attend in person.

Shen Qing is likely to win a big prize.
