You don't understand the happiness of the director

Just as Hideo Umekawa was about to introduce Wang Quan to everyone, Satoshi Kon took the lead and said, "This is Wang Quan, a great Hollywood director, a talented director from China!"

The middle-aged men applauded in a dignified manner, but after listening to the introduction, they found out that they were not familiar with Wang Quan's works. On the contrary, Wang Quan heard Hideo's introduction and knew several of them.

For example, Yoshihiro Togashi, the author of "Yu Yu Hakusho" and "Hunter Hunter".

Junji Ito, who likes to draw some mind-numbing comics, was deeply impressed by his "Human Head Balloon".

There is also Otomo Yoko, whose "Mushishi" starring Joe Odagiri and Yu Aoi was also shortlisted for this year's Venice. Wang Quan has seen it in the film and television library, and he can be regarded as Satoshi Kon's mentor and helpful friend.

There are also two people who are the chief editors of "Weekly Young Magazine" and "Weekly Young JUMP". There is no hostility from competitors here, just drinking.

After drinking a round of sake with some uncles, Wang Quan had the opportunity to ask Umekawa Hideo, "Why did you come back to Neon if you weren't going to school?"

"Oh, don't mention it. Our family has fallen into decline. My father suffered a stroke, and my mother eloped with a cowherd. My younger brothers and sisters are still young, so I had to drop out of school and go home to manage the family business and take care of them. This izakaya belongs to my family, because it's There are cartoonists and directors in the room that I admire, so I came here to accompany them, but I didn’t expect to hear your voice, monitor..."

Speaking of this, Umekawa Hideo lamented repeatedly.

Wang Quan patted his shoulder, "Last month you were still chatting in the group. I didn't expect so many things to happen this month. Are there any difficulties at home? I still have plenty of money."

Umekawa Hideo shook his head, "I just hope to find a reliable manager to help run the izakaya. I still want to go back to school, finish filming my graduation film, and then return to China to find a job related to movies."

Wang Quan heard him talk about the idea for his graduation project. This was an idea he had when he first entered school. It was very good. It was about the theme of having to admit your mistakes. It would be a pity not to film it.

"Don't talk about me anymore," Umekawa Hideo cheered up. "A few days ago, I learned that the monitor's work was shortlisted for the East Film Festival. I was very excited. I just saw the classmates in the group discussing this matter but felt embarrassed to speak out. If If there are daytime shows, I hope to support the monitor’s work.”

"No problem, I'll deliver the tickets when the time comes."

Umekawa Hideo asked again, "Will the squad leader be in Tokyo during this time?"

"yes."

"First time in Tokyo?"

"yes."

"Then you should have fun. There are still many places to visit in Tokyo!" Umekawa Hideo then sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have time to spend with you."

He has too much going on at home.

But he had a way. He ran to the two magazine editors and said that Wang Quan wanted to find someone to accompany him to Tokyo. He didn't know if the two editors could help. It would be best if it was a young girl who knew English.

Umekawa Hideo knows how to be a class monitor. If a grown man like himself accompanies him to travel around Tokyo, I'm afraid his impression of Tokyo will be greatly reduced. He still has to find a girl. If his girl isn't still young, she has just entered elementary school. , How can this fertile water get to an outsider's field?

Kon Satoshi had just emphasized the importance of royal power in his heart, and he was a major director in Hollywood. The two editors did not dare to neglect, and both said that they would take care of it.

Wang Quan quickly waved his hand and said no, while writing down his hotel name and room number.

However, everyone was a little drunk, and Wang Quan didn't take it to heart. He might have forgotten it as soon as he woke up, so he copied another copy and put it in the pockets of the two chief editors.

Next, he began to advise Kon Min that in order to make more animations, he should stop drinking and sex, but he refused to listen.

"You can quit sex, but don't even think about quitting drinking!" Jin Min said greedily while holding the bottle.

Wang Quan shook his head, "You are different from normal people."

But only this kind of unusual brain can produce masterpieces such as "Paprika". I really hope he can leave more works.

Back at the hotel, Wang Quan was a little tired and had to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow, so he fell asleep.

The next day he was awakened by the doorbell.

"Who is it?" he asked and went to open the door. He thought it was one of his own, Su Te or Ma Ling, but when he opened the door, he saw in front of him a man wearing exquisite makeup, a super short skirt, a small suspender on his upper body, and a A beautiful girl with youthful curly hair and a very sweet smile. She looks like a neon person, but she is really not short.

She spoke in Japanese, which confused Wang Quan and asked, "What are you doing?"

The other party then switched to English, but his speech was also stumbling, and at first glance he sounded like a player who had not even passed Level 4.

However, Wang Quan could barely understand. She was introduced by the editor-in-chief of Shueisha's "Weekly Young Jump" to accompany her.

The other party took a fancy to the identity of King Power Hollywood director and implicitly stated that if possible, she would also like to act and become a star.

"Then what do you do, Mu Xi."

Nozomi Sasaki replied, "I'm a model, a magazine model."

Wang Quan searched the film and television library based on her name. She will indeed become an actress in the future. She has many works. Although she has no outstanding works, her sweet face alone can give her a place in the film and television industry. , and judging from the comments, she still has a lot of fans.

Wang Quan invited her into the room to talk. She hesitated, bit her lip, and came in anyway.

Wang Quan knew that this meant that she had completely let go of him, or that she did not dare to offend him, so she would rather take a risk, or that she felt that she would not suffer a loss because she was so handsome.

Director Wang did not close the door tightly, leaving a crack. He is a decent person and will not do things like buying and selling by force. He really needs to find someone to accompany him so that he, a foreigner, can have a good time exploring Tokyo. , this is Nozomi Sasaki’s English level.

"What did you do before?"

"I used to work as a clerk in a grocery store, and then I was spotted by a magazine..."

Sure enough, your face can change your destiny. A grocery store clerk has now become a model and will become a star in the future. However, Neon's star status is just that, not as refreshing as in China.

Wang Quan told her, "I will attend the opening ceremony of the East Film Festival later and walk on the red carpet. You can either go find a place to play by yourself first, or wait for me here and we will keep in touch."

"Can I come with you?" Sasaki Nozomi's eyes lit up when she heard about the East Film Festival. For her, it was a high-end place. Normally, little models like her wouldn't have the chance to get in touch with her, so she had to rely on this Hollywood director. blessing.

Wang Quan thought for a while, "If you go, you can only temporarily act as my assistant and translator..."

Thinking of the other person's English proficiency, "Forget it, I'll just be the assistant."

After understanding the exchange, Nozomi Sasaki readily agreed.

At this time, footsteps and questions came from outside the door, "King, are you in there?"

It was Lily. Wang Quan asked her to push the door directly, and then Lily saw Wang Quan and the Japanese sweet girl sitting in front of him. The two were very close to each other.

Lily immediately frowned with her distinctive eyebrows, "Are you hiring a prostitute?"

Wang Quan said, "Lily, you have to be polite. Why do you have such an association when you see the neon girl? If you go out by yourself in the future, you will easily be beaten to death."

Lily blushed, but Wang Quan's lesson made sense, "I'm sorry."

Wang Quan, "It doesn't matter, she shouldn't be able to understand you when you speak so fast?"

Nozomi Sasaki, "Director, did she think of me as that kind of girl just now?"

Wang Quan, "Your English listening skills are good."

Nozomi Sasaki looked serious, "Miss, I am simply accompanying this guest from afar to visit Tokyo. I have not and will not have any transactions involving money and women. You can rest assured about this!"

Lily, "What did she say?"

Royal power, "she said, she is not, you are worrying too much."

Lily was surprised, "Where did you find it?" The key is that it looks pretty good.

Wang Quan, "As I said, I have connections in Tokyo. Let me introduce you to Nozomi Sasaki. She will temporarily act as my assistant. Okay, Lily will avoid it. I want to change clothes."

Lily, "What about her?"

Nozomi Sasaki, "Oh, do you want to change clothes? I can turn my back~"

Lily: "..."

Why she smelled of tea.

And when there were only two people in the room, when Wang Quan turned his back to change clothes, Nozomi Sasaki would secretly turn his head and see Wang Quan's beautiful back. She felt like she was not like a director, but more like a model.

Soon Ma Ling and Su Te also learned that there was a beautiful and sweet Sakura girl beside Wang Quan, and they all found reasons to come and have a look. Nozomi Sasaki was not annoyed at all, and even talked to the two of them in broken English.

Suter was so envious that this pretty girl was only 18 years old!

Next, the group came to Roppongi Hills, where the opening ceremony of the film festival will be held, where Wang Quan and Lily will walk the red carpet.

At the same time, they also got the film schedule. "Juno" would premiere two days later. Wang Quan immediately went to Lule to ask Director Lu to show his appreciation. They were both students of Beidian. Although Lule envied Wang Quan's young success, he readily agreed. Well, the other two directors didn't take the initiative to hook up since they weren't familiar with each other.

However, Zheng Baorui took the initiative to talk to Wang Quan and nervously proposed that Wang Quan attend their premiere tomorrow night. Wang Quan readily agreed and asked him to take Guanxi to watch his movie the day after tomorrow.

After watching the opening movie, it was already evening. Nozomi Sasaki had been following Ma Ling. When Wang Quan finally left the spotlight, she immediately went over to him and held his hand. "Does the director want to go out to play now?"

"It's so late, so let's do it tomorrow. By the way, Mu Xi, where will you sleep tonight?"

Nozomi Sasaki glanced at Wang Quan and lowered his head, "Follow the director's arrangements."

Then Wang Quan let her live in his room on the grounds of saving money.

Lily was so angry when she saw it, it was too Bichi, have you forgotten what you said during the day?

Nozomi Sasaki didn't forget that there wouldn't be any money and sex deals, there really wasn't, because she let the royal power get her without even taking the money.

She doesn’t sell, but she knows how to invest.

After following Ma Ling for a long time, she finally understood who the royal power was.

She doesn't understand movies, but she understands that if a Chinese can achieve such great achievements in the United States, his actual ability must be stronger than what he sees.

So when Wang Quan accidentally touched her waist, she fell limply into Wang Quan's arms and let him control her.

How could Wang Quan stand this? Japanese tenderness was a subject he had never been exposed to before. In order to study neon women and gain a deeper understanding of neon society, he decisively took this sugar-coated bullet.

In the middle, Wang Quan's phone rang, but he was busy at that time, and there were butterflies and butterflies down there, so he hung up directly.

Now that the matter of destroying the butterfly was resolved, Wang Quan called Yang Mi back.

"Mimi, what's going on? I was just watching a movie."

"Brother Quan, 100 million dollars, you are so awesome!" Yang Mi was very excited.

Just today, Beijing time, the North American box office of "Escape Room" exceeded the $100 million mark, becoming the first King Power movie to achieve this feat.

Wang Quan stroked Nozomi Sasaki's big curly hair and couldn't help but think of Mimi's hair of the same style. He asked with a smile, "Is there any news report?"

"More than that, there are overwhelming reports. Everyone praises you as the light of the Chinese people, saying that you are second only to Li Jin. At first, some media said that your film did not perform as well as the previous one and might lose money, but the result was easy Over 100 million, those people’s faces were smashed, it was so enjoyable!”

"Brother, why don't you speak?" Yang Mi asked again.

Wang Quan let go of Nozomi Sasaki who was asking for a kiss, and brought the phone closer, "Oh, listen, you continue."

Nozomi Sasaki simply went to do other things, leaving Wang Quan unable to concentrate even on the phone.

"Oh, by the way, "The Night Banquet" currently has a box office of 90 million. It can't rise any higher. It's estimated that it will even be difficult to break 100 million in the mainland." She gloated again.

This makes Wang Quan a little bit unbearable. He doesn't even have 100 million. What a loss.

This incident also proves that the domestic box office potential is still limited, and the National Day schedule cannot accommodate three blockbusters at the same time.

"Escape Room" had a certain impact on the early box office of "The Banquet". Half a month later, it encountered the powerful Jackie Chan new film "Baby Project", and it was not good.

"By the way, Brother Quan, Liu Yifei's first kiss is gone!" Yang Mi suddenly changed the subject.

It turned a bit fast, and Wang Quan almost didn't react, "What the hell?"

Yang Mi, "She contributed a lot during the filming. Didn't she tell you?"

Wang Quan's face turned livid, but Sasaki Nozomi, who was burying his head, didn't see it.

"Who?!" he asked.

Yang Mi, "Me."

"What the hell?" he repeated.

Yang Mi sighed, "Well, I just went to visit their crew on National Day, and then the director asked me to guest star as a passenger, and asked Liu Yifei to give me artificial respiration."

"That's it?" Wang Quan snorted coldly, "If you have nothing to do, just hang up. I'm busy."

Hearing the beeping sound, Yang Mi snorted, "I don't know what I'm busy doing all day long, so I don't care about my body so much."

On this day, Wang Quan and Sasaki Nozomi fought until the second half of the night. This Sakura girl was very cooperative.

"Ding dong~"

The doorbell rang, Wang Quan put on some big pants and went to open the door, "Who is it?"

There was a Japanese voice outside, and a girl asked, "Are you the director of Hollywood's King Power?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Wang Quan opened the door and saw a tall, beautiful and sweet Sakura girl.

"Hello, I have been entrusted by Mr. Ota, the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Young Magazine", to be your guide for visiting Tokyo." The girl extended her hand, "Please give me your advice. My name is Yui Aragaki."

(I’m late, sorry~)
