You don't understand the happiness of the director

In three days, Wang Quan emerged as a new and talented director. Coupled with his previous legendary scandals, he suddenly became a hot figure in the American entertainment industry, surpassing Lin Yi, another Chinese director of the same period. Bin pressed down.

Even Lindsay Lohan once again came up with the idea of ​​​​hyping up her relationship, and was even willing to come to her door to send warmth. However, Wang Quan was not interested in her, and her freckled face was loveless.

Let's talk about Lin Yibin, the cost of "Winter Beijing Drift" is 85 million U.S. dollars, and the North American box office is predicted to be no more than 60 million U.S. dollars. There is great pressure to repay the capital, and he is very worried about whether his director career will die prematurely.

Thanks also to Hollywood's strong overseas box office market and multi-channel revenue capabilities, this is just a huge pressure to make back the money, rather than a definite loss of money.

The producer also comforted Lin Yibin, saying that the movie's reputation was pretty good and he might use you next time. After all, it's a cheap job and he's obedient.

This made Lin Yibin feel a little better, but when he was attending a movie promotion event, an unscrupulous reporter asked him what he thought of King David's success. He was so immoral!

Lin Yibin, "I haven't watched this movie yet, so it's not convenient for me to comment."

Reporter: "I watched it. It's pretty good. It's better than Dongjing Drift. Can you answer it now?"

Lin Yibin: Damn it, can I hit someone? He deserves a beating!

Lin Yibin replied calmly, "Everyone's reviews are so good, I will definitely watch it and learn from others' strengths, but I have to wait until I finish this period of work."

Brother, are you satisfied with what I say?

After perfunctoryly using this standard answer, Lin Yibin left in despair.

Vin Diesel couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw this video news.

Humph, it depends on whether you can find me when you make the fourth part. If you find me then, it will be a different price. It is not even just a matter of money. This time he is targeting the position of producer and wants to make himself Deeply tied to this series.

In addition to King Power being in the limelight because of the movie, there is actually another person who has benefited a lot, even more than King Power, and that is the movie's heroine Megan Fox.

Wang Quan is very good at photographing beauties. This movie vividly shows Megan’s beauty with a bit of stubbornness and tenacity despite being in a state of embarrassment. She, who was unknown before, suddenly became a fashion darling and frequently appeared in fashion events. In addition to Transformers, The agent handed her several more notebooks.

This made Paramount more and more satisfied with J. J. Abrams' move and bought "Cloverfield Lane" at a high price. Although the premium was obvious, the sky-high price of 20 million was also a major publicity point, and it saved a lot of money. Less publicity expenses.

Moreover, the movie also made Megan, the heroine of "Transformers" famous. If we sign her after she becomes famous, how much more will it cost?

In the future, we can save a lot of publicity expenses by filming the "Cloverfield" movie. Then it will be directly the sequel to the hit dark horse movie, and the starting point will be much higher.

The most important thing is good reputation and good box office. The official agency predicts that the North American box office will not be less than 70 million. What is the concept? Even if marketing expenses are added, the box office can recover the cost and still make money! Overseas, it is pure profit!

And with a good reputation, other income will also increase. It is almost foreseeable that this movie will bring more profits to Paramount than "Mission: Impossible 3"!

Mudd, Tom made all the money from "Mission: Impossible 3"!

So J.J. was summoned by Paramount President Brad Gray and asked him, "Can you buy that dragon head up, including the contracts for several future King David movies, as well as the projects and scripts he has in hand, oh, And the rights to Twilight.”

Greedy capitalist!

J. J. thought for a while and asked, "How much do you plan to pay, Mr. Gray?"

Brad Gray sat in front of the computer and tapped a few times, as if calculating something, and finally stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred million, to send beggars, at least 300 million, I still have to think about it!" Dorothy sat arrogantly next to Wang Quan. Even though her company's movie has not been released, she is so awesome. .

Wang Quan grasped the pain in her words, "So if the other party offers 300 million yuan, will you really consider selling the company?"

Dorothy chuckled, "Three hundred million, not three knives. It's very tempting, but it's just a thought. After all, we have greater ideals and ambitions."

Wang Quan shook his head, "We rejected Paramount, they won't hinder us, right?"

"They will only treat us better and worry that we will end up in the arms of the other five major companies." After all, there is a huge profit margin in the overseas distribution of movies, Dorothy said confidently, "But this time I really don't want to follow If we cooperate with Paramount, I don’t want Long Toutou to have Paramount’s label on him.”

Dorothy speculated that after rejecting the acquisition by Paramount this time, they would settle for releasing Escape Room. "They will probably pray that our distribution plan will be blocked so that they can take over our global distribution."

"So is our release plan going well?" Wang Quan asked. He had been focusing on the content. At this time, thinking that there were less than three months until the movie was released, he couldn't help but worry, don't mess it up by then.

Dorothy, "I was a little worried before, but now, I am more confident. Look at this!"

She took out a newspaper, and it was written about an infringement case, and the infringed party was...cousin Hussein!

Boss Hou's escape room model was plagiarized, and he is in a lawsuit with them. However, this game model has been around for a long time, in text form, and online game model. It was just Hussein who was inspired by Wang Quan for the first time. One moved offline.

It is difficult to win a lawsuit. The most you can do is apply for copyright protection for those original gameplays. It is foreseeable that more and more people will open such secret rooms and secret room games across the country and even the world, which are loved by young people. It will bloom across the board!

Dorothy said, "With the arrival of summer, secret room games have become popular, so many businessmen have copied Hussein's gameplay. Now there are secret room games in Maple Leaf Country."

Then she asked Wang Quan to look at the subscriptions and video click-through rates of Gadot and Wang Keying on YouTube, which were also very impressive.

It's just that because Gadot and Xiao Wang are cute girls, they are more likely to attract attention. The fans of any one of them can exceed the other four men combined.

One of Gadot's escape room videos became a hit, garnering millions of views on YouTube during this period. Sure enough, in the age of women, faces and long legs are the most effective traffic weapons.

Breasts are a more effective flow weapon, but it’s a pity that Gadot doesn’t have them.

In order to make the secret room game the most popular event this summer, Dorothy and Hussein have tried their best. There will also be an escape room variety show online soon. Boss Tao is full of confidence in the future.

Speaking of variety shows, Wang Quan was going to be on a variety show recently, and he flew to New York that day.

Because there is another thing this week, "Remote Control" written by Wang Quan is about to be released. "10 Cloverfield Lane" and "Remote Control" will join forces to hype up and increase the popularity.

After all, "Remote Control" is also facing a very strong opponent, "Superman Returns" from Warner Bros., which cost up to 270 million U.S. dollars!

Therefore, the two protagonists of "Remote Control" went on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" without a director or a producer. Instead, they brought the currently popular King Power with them, trying to spark a different kind of spark.

The Ellen Show is a very well-known talk show in the United States, and Wang Quan believes that his biggest gain from being on the show is getting to know the Queen of the Night, Kate Beckinsale.

Kate Beckinsale, the heroine of "Underworld", "Pearl Harbor" and "Van Helsing", is an actor famous for hunting vampires and werewolves. If she is allowed to play in a movie like "The Twilight Saga" I don’t know what kind of chemical reaction there will be for a character.

I might have to wait until I finish filming "Juno" before I can think about this.

On the 23rd, "Life Remote Control" written by Wang Quan was officially released. It earned 14.5 million on the first day. It rose slightly the next day to 14.62 million on Saturday. It earned 40.2 million in the first week, easily winning the weekly chart.

"Cloverfield Lane" ranks third at the weekly box office, with a cumulative box office of US$54.2 million in two weeks!

Although "The Love of Inflatable Dolls" written by Wang Quan had a good reputation and was nominated for an Oscar, its box office performance was not satisfactory. This time it can be regarded as a small show of his screenwriting talents other than directing.

Of course, Americans all give credit to Adam Sandler, but this is different in China. They only know that Director Wang is awesome again.

This time, he didn’t direct it himself. He just wrote a script and threw it to others, and it easily earned 40 million U.S. dollars at the box office. It is expected to exceed 100 million in North America. Just tell me whether Director Wang is awesome or not!

When the news spread back to China and sparked heated discussions, Wang Qiankun immediately contacted the film producers in the United States and wanted to distribute the film domestically. We ordinary people like to watch Lehe comedy movies.

However, the other party told me that there are many Chinese film producers who want this movie. Who do you think is the best?

Wang Qiankun was angry, "I am the screenwriter's father!"

"It's useless to curse."

In the end, things failed to be negotiated smoothly. China Film will win the film through approval later, and domestic companies will then be allowed to compete.

You don't have to go to such trouble in the future. You can just raise your head to meet your son's dragon.

Calculating the time, three days later will be the day when the movie will be released in China. Wang Qiankun plans to imitate foreign countries and hold a midnight show, that is, a movie will be shown in the early morning of the day of release. The screening usually starts before early morning.

Usually those who do this are foreign blockbusters, and their fans are quite fanatical and are willing to stay up all night just to see the movie first.

Son's movie can be considered a foreign film, and it also has a large number of ardent fans.

However, this is only limited to the 15 cinemas under the Dawang Cinema Line controlled by Lao Wang himself. Other cinemas are not willing to stay up late with him. After all, your son's surname is Wang, and his surname is not Kaorsi.

This is enough, the main thing is to create a lively atmosphere.

The next day, Wang Qiankun personally returned to Dawang Cinema to supervise the matter.

Entering the cinema, the most conspicuous place is the posters and promotional materials of "10 Cloverfield Lane", and the rest are the recently released Chinese and foreign films such as "Ice Age 2".

Among these materials, there is a movie that looks weak and helpless. There is only a shabby poster in an inconspicuous corner. The name is very interesting, called "Crazy Stone". This is the first day it was released.

One day passed, and Ning Hao was a little nervous holding his cell phone. He was waiting for a call from China Film Group. His film was financed by Mr. Liu Dehua and China Film Group was responsible for distribution.

Just like Wang Quan, if the movie box office is low, he will not lose money, and if the box office is high, he will not be given an extra cent, but it is related to his future career and future.

At present, cinemas across the country have not yet been connected to the Internet, and box office statistics are relatively backward and not so accurate. They have to rely on each cinema to compile the information to the cinema chain, and then each cinema chain to summarize it to the film bureau.

At this time, he was with a few buddies, Huang Bo and Yue Xiaojun, and there were ashtrays and beer bottles on the table.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Huang Bo made a joke, "Mouse, if the box office is not doing well, I think you should hurry up and learn a foreign language."

"Why study a foreign language? Take the postgraduate entrance examination."

Huang Boxiao said, "No, you can go to the United States to study and then make movies abroad. From now on, you will be the second most powerful person in the royal family."

Yue Xiaojun also patted the sofa and echoed, "Haha, I think it works."

Just as Ning Hao was about to retort, a text message came from his phone. Then he slumped down on the sofa. Huang Bo glanced at it, 500,000.

If there is no $ after it, it means yuan.

Ning Hao sighed, "I just feel sorry for Mr. Liu and made him lose money."

Andy Lau's Asian Rising Star Directing Plan invested 3 million for this movie, but it was not enough. Ning Hao also pitched in, and finally it was successfully completed, and there were only 100 copies, which was very shabby. In the end, it needed more than 10 million at the box office. Only then can we get our money back.

But looking at the current first-day box office data, how can it exceed 10 million, unless there is a miracle.

In order to help Ning Hao get out of the haze, Huang Bo took him to watch a movie at night.

"No, it's already past 10 o'clock. Where can there be a movie? Bo'er, you don't want to take me to that kind of place. Let me tell you, I'm a serious person. I won't touch anything that doesn't look good. It will touch!"

"Fuck you uncle, I'm taking you to watch the midnight screening of the Throne movie!"

At the same time, Chen Sicheng drove to pick up Wang Baoqiang.

A few days ago, the two finished filming on the set of "Soldier Assault". Wang Baoqiang went directly back to his hometown in Xingtai. Just after returning to the capital, he was pulled away from his residence by Chen Sicheng before he could rest.

"You don't know, I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time. If I hadn't had the money, I would have wanted to watch it abroad." Chen Sicheng's eyes were gleaming.

Wang Baoqiang yawned, "I know, you've said it eight hundred times, Wang Quan is your idol."

"No, it's not an idol, it's the goal I'm chasing. Sooner or later, I will become a great director!" Then I also asked the female star to give me a chat in the car!

Chen Sicheng chose Dawang Cinema, and the midnight screenings of this cinema are also the most popular. After all, it is owned by the officially certified director Wang's father, so he can still get a bit of Director Wang's fairy spirit.

Wang Baoqiang suddenly became energetic, "Oh, is this still a movie theater at 11 o'clock in the evening? Why are there so many people!"

Chen Sicheng, "There are many college students. Wang Quan is very prestigious among the student community."

"Let's buy tickets quickly and take a seat," Wang Baoqiang urged. Suddenly he pointed at a few people and said, "Hey, why did they walk in without buying tickets?"

The staff explained, "Those teachers from Nortel have taught us Director Wang, and they came here specifically to support Director Wang. The person leading the way is our boss. Does the boss still need a ticket to enter?"

Wang Baoqiang was choked and speechless, "Hurry up and issue the ticket."

On the other side, Wang Qiankun laughed and invited his son's teachers, Cao Baoping, Jiang Wei, Xu Haofeng, Xue Xiaolu, and Wang Jing, into the largest movie theater. As for Teacher Xie, who is old, this late-night activity did not disturb him. It’s not too late to watch again tomorrow~

(I was not satisfied with this chapter, so I deleted it several times. Director Wang almost put Beckinsale to bed directly. Later, I thought about it, readers are all upright now, and they don’t like to read that anymore. I finally found my way back)
