You don't understand the happiness of the director

When he came to Wanwan, Wang Quan also had a rough understanding of Wanwan's future film development.

There are very few films that can rely on local production to make profits. Other films that can make money either take the international award-winning route like Hou Hsiao-hsien and Tsai Ming-liang. Foreign film studios are still willing to buy into the effect of famous directors.

Either it relies on the mainland market, and can easily earn hundreds of millions or even billions of NT dollars at the box office. Compared with the box office in Taiwan, the mainland market is as easy as dreaming of making money.

However, Wang Quan wanted to point Chen Zhengdao to another path, "Have you ever thought about developing in the mainland and making mainland movies?"

"Mainland?" You're not going, so you want me to go?

Wang Quan said sincerely, "I have watched your "Summer Light Years" and I admire your ability to tell stories. And I believe that the mainland market will be very, very big in the future. Sooner or later I will come back to make Chinese films."

"What, you really want to come back?" Chen Zhengdao was a little unbelievable. He wanted you to help take me to the United States for development, but you said you wanted to come back? You have developed so well in the United States, are you willing to come back?

"Yes, this is inevitable. Why, don't you believe it?"

"No, no." What he said in his heart: A little bit.

"I opened a film company in the Mainland and collected some scripts," Wang Quan said. "Look at Li Bian, a director as big as him has now returned to Chinese films."

This sentence touched Chen Zhengdao. Yes, speaking of it, Li Yi is even more powerful than Wang Quan. Didn't he also come back to film "Lust, Caution"?

Wang Quan continued, "I am preparing a script, which is a story from the Mainland. The director has not yet been determined."

Chen Zhengdao's eyes lit up, "You, you want me to be the director!?"

Wang Quan, "I didn't say that, but you can compete for the job when the time comes. You have advantages, such as being able to tell stories, which many mainland directors lack. But you also have disadvantages, that is, you are not familiar with the mainland. I'm afraid you will film It doesn’t taste right.”

Chen Zhengdao is a new director with great potential. He is only 25 years old this year. Looking at his resume, he has been silent for many years after "Summer Light Years". His next film was the mainland film "Happiness Quota", which was a less successful attempt. The remake of "101 Proposals" was slightly better, and then "The Hypnotist" finally matured. I just helped him get on the right path in advance.

Afterwards, Wang Quan left his contact information with him, "If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

Not long after Wang Quan returned to his seat, the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony came to an end. Wang Quan said to Janine Chang, "My guess is not bad."

Junning Chang, "Director Wang is really great, you know movies so well!"

Wang Quan, "Do you know the night market in Tibei?"

"ah?"

"I heard that the snacks at Tibei Night Market are very famous. I wonder if it will be inconvenient tonight."

"Is it just the two of us?" Zhang Junning, who is now single, is a little shy.

"And my assistant Anna." Wang Quan glanced behind him. She was almost asleep in the audience and couldn't understand anything she said. There was also a man next to him who called himself Justin, the eldest son of Yuanta Securities. , what is the Chinese name Li Zugrui?

I also want to get to know her. She is so ugly. Who wants to get to know you?

Upon hearing the boss's call, Anna immediately stood up and rushed to Wang Quan's side.

Zhang Junning looked at Anna's beautiful baby face and said, Assistant, what about you, boss? It's hard not to make people doubt your innocence!

But Wang Quan and Anna are so innocent, at least as of today they are still innocent.

The next day, he and Anna got out of the quilt. Wang Quan said seriously, "What I said yesterday was just to let you use your mouth. Who told you to really do it?"

Anna blinked innocently, "Boss, I'm sorry~"

"If I'm sorry, why do you need the police?" Wang Quan severely criticized her and warned her not to do this again next time, especially when she returns to Los Angeles.

"If Gadot notices something is wrong, you will immediately leave the dragon and raise your head, and I promise that I will ban you to the best of my ability. I'm serious." Wang Quan's extremely serious look frightened Anna, and she raised her Some little thoughts completely overwhelmed it.

Then Wang Quan said a few words to coax the children, "If you want to be an actor, I will let you try when there is a suitable opportunity in the future, but the prerequisite is to practice your English first." They, the Cubans, spoke Spanish .

"Yeah, boss, I will work hard!"

Wang Quan, "Okay, let's pack up and get ready to go to the airport."

Anna looked at Wang Quan and asked for instructions with her eyes. Wang Quan said, "It's been like this all morning, don't pay attention."

Back in Los Angeles, King Power still has plenty to do.

First of all, he had to attend the world premiere of "The Golden Armor". Gong Li, Liu Ye, Jay Chou, and Zhang Yimou invited him separately without knowing each other.

Yes, the world premiere of this movie was in Los Angeles, and the North American distributor is Sony. Lao Mouzi still has a better reputation than Feng Xiaogang. It has been confirmed to be released in North America in December, but "The Night Banquet" is completely gone.

At this time, it is during the American Film Institute Film Festival, referred to as AFI Fest. This is a film festival. The latest works screened every year are popular works during the Oscar awards season that year. "Juno" will also be screened here, and It is also the closing work of this year. This is part of the marketing, and the mystery is finally lifted.

Wang Quan readily agreed to come and participate. In fact, he had already seen the movie, and he just wanted to get to know Director Zhang. The other thing is, if I flatter you, you are not allowed to bring it back.

This will be Director Zhang's last work before the Olympics. In the next two years, he will completely devote himself to the work of the Olympic opening ceremony. For this, his golden partner Zhang Weiping often complained about him.

What does the Olympics have to do with making money (for me)?

When Wang Quan arrived, he greeted everyone in order of age, including Zhou Runfa, whom he had never met before.

Wang Quan had met Zhang Yimou from a distance in the auditorium when he was in school. That time he went back to his alma mater to promote "House of Flying Daggers". He was on the stage and I was off the stage.

Now that we are on the same stage, we can shake hands and talk cordially. Lao Mouzi was not affected by the quarrel between Zhang Weiping and Wang Qiankun, and sincerely praised Wang Quan, "The descendants are awesome!"

Wang Quan is a little embarrassed. He used to be frivolous when he was young. He said that "House of Flying Daggers" was a piece of rubbish. He still thinks so now, but with the comparison of "The Golden Armor", the evaluation may be slightly higher. As for "Hero", that is a masterpiece! The eternal pinnacle of domestic epic costume blockbusters!

You can say that there is no one in the same type that is better than it, but there is no one.

Heck, don’t ask me to review the movie later.

Fortunately, many international filmmakers came today, all for the sake of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li. While the adults chatted, Wang Quan talked to children like Liu Ye and Jay Chou.

Liu Ye is now preparing to start filming "Heaven's Mouth" produced by Yu Yusen Wu, and will work with Azu, who is very familiar with Wang Quan, while Jay Chou is looking at Wang Quan expectantly.

"Director Jay, I have read your script. As a newcomer, you are very mature. Go ahead and make a bold film. I am optimistic about you!"

Jay Chou immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With these words from the famous director, his confidence doubled.

The next day, it was still the same place. This group of people came again, and it was even grander. This time they watched "Juno". Dorothy and Lily's mother invited several heavyweight audiences with Oscar votes. It was a pity, Naomi Watts didn't come.

Zhang Yimou and Gong Li were busy chatting with Jodie Foster and Christian Bale. Zhang Yimou was envious of this cast, which made him look forward to the completion of the film even more. The subject matter sounded very interesting and he couldn't bear it. I just kept thinking about what it would be like if I took the photo myself.

When I saw the main film, it was completely different from what I thought. I got pregnant unexpectedly at the age of 16. I went to the store to buy a pregnancy test stick. The store clerk took it for granted and made a joke?

Then the little girl wanted to have an abortion, because the local rules on abortion were very strict and required parents to accompany her, so she drove to the next state to have an abortion. Is she so brave?

When she got to the abortion place, she got cold feet and decided to give birth. Then she told her father and adoptive mother, but they didn't beat or scold the child? I didn’t take a shot, and I was even planning to contact the doctor.

Do you know how much pressure Tingting and I faced from her parents? She was 19 years old when she became pregnant with a boy.

Suddenly, Zhang Yimou realized that Wang Quan shot this story entirely with American thinking, even more American than American.

With democracy and freedom like this, can the American people be upset after seeing it?

Because Zhang Yimou had an expectation for the subject matter, he kept a tense face while watching. However, looking at the audience around him, he burst into laughter from time to time. At this moment, Zhang Yimou admired the royal power even more, but he had only stayed in the United States for a year. He can capture the hearts of the American audience so accurately. If he doesn't succeed, who will succeed!

But when the movie came to an end, Zhang Yimou was confused. Did he cheat? So I exchanged opinions with Gong Li next to me. The more the two of them talked, the more they felt that the final ending was not simple.

The premiere event ended successfully, and there was still half a month before the official release of "Juno". During this time, Wang Quan was busy traveling back and forth between the two crews of "Insidious" and "This Man is from Earth". Fortunately, Anna can drive.

During this time, "Stewardess" was officially finished filming, Liu Yifei returned to the capital with her mother, and Liu Xiaoli applied for the "King Quan-Liu Yifei Student Aid Charity Fund" from the China Charity Federation. At this time, the second week's income from the ringing bell also arrived.

Liu Yifei, "What's your guess?"

Wang Quan, "The popularity should have dropped, I guess 3 million?"

Liu Yifei, "7 million~"

"What?! Why is it still going up!"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Because Meow Meow is still ranked first, but the rankings of the following songs have improved."

Wang Quan said, "Liu Qianqian, Liu Qianqian, you really have musical talent. Can I call you the little queen of the Chinese music industry in the future?"

Liu Yifei chuckled, "I'm still used to you calling me the Queen of Children's Songs."

Wang Quan said again, "But when it comes to auntie, will she be very heartbroken?"

Liu Yifei, "Now my mother doesn't want to talk to me when she sees me. At this rate, the money will be at least tens of millions. My mother is heartbroken."

Wang Quan, "After this period of time, the heat should subside."

Liu Yifei, "I hope the popularity can be higher, so that more money will be available to help more children."

Wang Quan sighed, "Sissi, you are so beautiful and kind-hearted!"

Liu Yifei smiled foolishly, and Wang Quan added, "Since there is so much money, it would be better to directly donate and build some schools in some poor areas."

"That's what I think too. Let mom handle it when the time comes."

Wang Quan thought for a moment and said, "Do you mind if I ask my aunt to participate in fund matters on my behalf? She is more professional in this regard."

"Of course it would be better if it could be like this. My mother's eyes are dark now and she doesn't know where to start."

As long as Liu Yifei agreed, she could directly communicate with her aunt about where the school should be built and what specifications it should meet. She would definitely not cut corners in this regard. This person was a bit unreasonable with integrity.

After chatting for a while, Liu Yifei said, "Then go and do your work. It's evening now, so you should be spending time with your girlfriend."

"Well, spending time with someone else's girlfriend."

"What!?" Liu Yifei was shocked.

Wang Quan, "I made a date with Charlize Theron, she has a date."

Liu Yifei was even more shocked. She really liked Charlize Theron, a beautiful woman who dared to make herself so ugly that she had no friends in the movie.

"Are you able to work with actresses of this level now? That's amazing!"

"It's not cooperation. I'm still waiting for her. She doesn't know what she wants from me."

Liu Yifei, "I won't bother you anymore, I have an appointment too."

Mom was awkward right now. It was rare for Liu Yifei to go out alone. She took a taxi and came to the Geological Auditorium in Xicheng Mutton Alley, where Happy Twist was performed.

"Oh, sister Yi Fei, I've been looking forward to having you here, but I thought you wouldn't come!" Shen Tong took Ma Li out to greet her.

Liu Yifei, "Didn't I come here as soon as I was free? There is a performance today, right?"

"Yes, yes, there is still more than an hour left. You can come and play with us backstage." Shen Tong coaxed Liu Yifei in and asked Ma Li to accompany her first. Then she winked at the other staff members, "Where are the audience? Why are there none now?" Not coming!”

"Brother Teng, today is a working day. The attendance rate is originally low. It is normal for there to be no one at this point. When the show starts later, there will be more than ten or twenty people."

"That won't work. I hope everyone down there will be full!"

"ah?"

Shen Tong thought for a while, "Go buy eggs. Today we will watch a drama and give away eggs!"

"ah?"

"Go quickly, it's not like I haven't done this before." Shen Tong stuffed the other party with a handful of money, all in dimes.

Then he followed Liu Yifei and Ma Li with a smile.

There are also people in the film school who perform stage plays, but they are much different from other professional ones. The props are really well made. Ma Li is introducing today's performance lineup to Liu Yifei at this time.

"This is the famous singer Teacher Man Jiang, this is the famous host Teacher Gu Yang, and this is the famous dancer Teacher Tang Jiali."

Liu Yifei was surprised, "Aren't you all drama actors?"

At this time, Shen Tong came over, "Everyone can act in a drama. Several teachers are people who have made outstanding achievements in their respective fields. But they like drama, so they come here to act. They are not doing this full-time. After corner A, we still have corner B on top."

Liu Yifei nodded secretly, that's good. At this time, through the curtain, she felt that there were gradually more people in the audience~
