You don't understand the happiness of the director

The other shares of Jiahe are in the hands of individuals and institutions such as Li Jiacheng. Wang Quan's intention is very clear. He wants a complete Jiahe, a Jiahe that is completely under his command.

Zou Wenhuai nodded and asked, "Did you come here on your own?"

"Yes, it's better to cast stones to ask for directions. I first need to confirm your own wishes, sir. Golden Harvest's contribution to Xiangjiang films and even Chinese films is number one. It would be disrespectful to force the acquisition."

Zou Wenhuai smiled. He had heard too many flattery words, but he still felt very comfortable being praised by this talented director.

Wang Quan added, "I hope to get your approval before launching the acquisition. I also hope that during this process, you can help me convince other shareholders. I have no friendship with them, but they are all my old friends."

"This is easy to talk about," said Zou Wenhuai. Other shareholders were also eager to get rid of Jiahe's mess. If it weren't for the fact that Zou Wenhuai was still alive and cared about his friends, he would have withdrawn long ago. "Then when are you planning to send a team over?"

Wang Quan, "When I return to the mainland, I will send professionals to negotiate, probably in March."

Zou Wenhuai shook hands with Wang Quan, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Wang Quan looked at the sky and said, "If it wasn't already late, I would really like to visit Jiahe." You can definitely see a lot of childhood memories there.

Zou Wenhuai said, "There's still time tomorrow."

Wang Quan shook his head, "Neon still has a lot of business there. I'll bother Mr. Zou the next time I come over."

Hearing that Neon still has a business, Chow Wenhuai's curiosity about King Power became even more intense. It can be said that Golden Harvest led Hong Kong films to a new path and created the glory of the 1980s and 1990s. Is it possible that the next glory of Chinese films will be It will come true for this young man. He wants to be the second best to Zou Wenhuai!

Thinking that his past ideals and unfinished wishes had a successor, Zou Wenhuai felt much more energetic when he walked, feeling that he could live to be a hundred years old like Uncle Shao Liu.

Of course, we have to rely on Brother Tao's magical medical skills. Brother Tao is a few years older than me, but if he dyes his hair black, others will probably think that he is his junior.

After all the guests at the hospital left, Tao Liman came over and asked, "Grandpa asked you if you have a place to stay at night. If not, you can stay at home."

This is to treat him as one of his own family.

Wang Quan left the room and explained to Tao Daqi, "Grandpa, I have to go to Tokyo. Dorothy is waiting for me there."

Upon hearing this, Tao Daqi wanted to throw the person out, "Then why are you just standing there stupidly? Go find her quickly. Don't keep her waiting."

"Yes yes yes~"

Wang Quan went out of the alley and wanted to take a taxi. Unexpectedly, the car and driver sent by Brother Cheng Long came back, so he got in the car and called Cheng Long to thank him for his help.

"Things went well?"

Wang Quan, "The people have met and confirmed Mr. Zou's wishes. The next step is business matters."

Cheng Long sighed, "I spent almost all my youth in Jiahe. If you really succeed, you must treat it well."

King Quan solemnly said, "Definitely."

"Oh, by the way, I was going to call you about something," Cheng Long said, "Wu Siyuan, you know, we were playing ball in the afternoon, and I mentioned that you were in Xiangjiang, but not about Jiahe, and then he asked me Can I contact you?"

Of course Wu Siyuan Wang Quan knew about it. He had an intersection with Zou Wenhuai for several years at Shaw Brothers Pictures, and later founded Siyuan Pictures.

He is also considered one of Cheng Long's associates. Cheng Long's early masterpieces "The Snake" and "Drunken Master" were both produced by Wu Siyuan. Many of Xu Ke's subsequent films were produced or produced by him.

In addition, he is also engaged in cinema chain. The brand UME International Cinema is owned by Siyuan Film and Television Company, and it is taking the route of high-end cinemas.

In addition, he also holds important positions in many film associations in Hong Kong. Now that Uncle Shao Liu and Boss Zou have almost retired, he can be regarded as one of the godfather-level bosses in the Hong Kong film industry.

"What do you want from me, Mr. Wu? I have to go to Tokyo."

"Why are you going to Tokyo, to have fun?"

Old Long was a bit self-indulgent, Wang Quan replied, "Long Toutou has a branch in Tokyo, and he used to handle some business."

"Young people are so enterprising. I'll give you his phone number and see if you can explain it clearly on the phone. How about that?"

"Okay, please, brother."

Wang Quan then dialed Wu Siyuan's phone number.

"Director Wang, hello, hello, hello." Wu Siyuan communicated in standard Mandarin. His current career focus has been on the mainland. He is the first Hong Kong filmmaker to go north to develop. He is actively promoting many co-production projects in Hong Kong and the mainland. .

Wang Quan said politely, "Mr. Wu, you're welcome. Do you have any questions for me? Because I have to rush to Neon now and I can't ask for advice in person."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. I said the same thing on the phone," Wu Siyuan said with a smile, "That's it. I want to invite you to join the jury of the 1st Asian Film Awards. I don't know what you think."

"Asian Film Awards?"

"Yes," Wu Siyuan then began to explain, "This was created by the Hong Kong International Film Festival Association. This year is the first edition. It aims to commend the outstanding achievements of the Asian film industry and to promote different types of film works and film elites across Asia. To be sure, our jury is composed of many important people in the international film industry, and the award guests are also famous Asian movie stars."

As soon as he heard the name of this award, Wang Quan probably knew what was going on. The influence of Hong Kong films was declining year by year, and the Hong Kong Film Awards was unwilling to relax its rules and learn from the Golden Horse Awards to accept all Chinese films, and still insisted on sticking to Hong Kong films. camp, the biggest concession is that co-production films are allowed to be nominated.

So Xiangjiang filmmakers came up with such an Asian Film Award to enhance their influence. As long as this award is made bigger and stronger, Xiangjiang will still have a certain say in the Asian film industry in the future.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the Asian Film Awards is not easy to start up. If Wang Quan can be invited to join the judging team, I believe many finalists will also be willing to come to participate in the awards.

This is Wang Quan’s influence after the Oscars. To a certain extent, it is stronger than Li Yi’s, because Li Yi is only good at making literary films, but Wang Quan is able to move between commercial films and literary films with ease. He is one of the directors that Asian filmmakers most want to work with. one.

Wang Quan first expressed his difficulties, "Mr. Wu, I am returning to China this time to prepare for graduation, and I also have several projects that I need to follow up on, all of which require me to stay in the capital."

Wu Siyuan, "It's okay. You don't need to be in Xiangjiang all the time. I can even make the decision and allow you to come to Xiangjiang before awarding the award. Your teacher, Director Xie Fei, is also a member of the jury. When it comes time to vote, you entrust That’s it for him.”

Hearing that the teacher was also a judge, and that Wang Quan was not willing to mess with Xiangjiang Filmmaker's reputation again and again even before he joined Golden Harvest. He had already rejected the Academy Award once last time, so Wang Quan replied, "Thanks to Mr. Wu for being so considerate. Oh well."

Wu Siyuan, "Great, our award is expected to be awarded on March 20. The nomination stage is now going on. As long as it is an Asian film released in Asia in 2006, you can also nominate it. Then we will exchange it." Email, relevant work can be communicated through email.”

In this way, Wang Quan became a member of the Asian Film Awards jury.

Wang Quan then received the list of Asian Film Awards jury members from Wu Siyuan via email.

In addition to Mr. Xie Fei and Wu Siyuan, there are also Taiwanese filmmaker Ms. Jiao Xiongping, director Huang Jianxin, president of the Mainland Directors Guild, Ms. An Zhenshu, chairman of the Kimchi National Film Development Bureau, and Naozo Ichiyama, program director of Tokyo FILMeX.

Not only is he a popular figure in the Asian film industry, but he also serves as various directors of Cannes, Venice, and Berlin film festivals, as well as American film critics.

Counting the royal power, there are 17 people in total.

By now the airport had arrived, and Brother Cheng Long's driver was busy helping to buy tickets to Tokyo. It was almost after midnight when they arrived at the destination.

On the plane, Wang Quan began to search for information about the Asian Film Awards through the film and television library.

The list of winners is indeed all famous Asian films and filmmakers. In addition to taking into account the three major film countries of China, Japan and South Korea, it also recognizes outstanding films from Thailand, Singapore, Iran and other countries. On the surface, it is still very convincing. , it did not become a pork-sharing event for movies from China, Japan and South Korea.

But just looking at the list of winners, we can’t tell whether this award has been implemented. We can only know that it continues to be implemented.

However, Wang Quan discovered that the Asian Film Awards were initially held in Hong Kong and Omen, and later began to be held in conjunction with the Busan International Film Festival and the Tokyo International Film Festival, and began to be held alternately in Busan and Tokyo.

This move was bold, giving up part of Xiangjiang's power over the Asian Film Awards, but in exchange for the support of Japan and South Korea. Perhaps this is why such an award can persist.

But Wang Quan is not optimistic that the Asian Film Awards can replace the influence of domestic film awards.

Although the Golden Rooster is terrible, every time it is awarded, the media is so overwhelmingly publicized that it is difficult not to wonder why the Asian Film Awards, a film award for Asia, makes the domestic media work so hard. It is unrealistic.

However, by checking the Asian Film Awards, Wang Quan discovered many Japanese, Korean and Indian films that he had not noticed before.

So in the first nomination list, Wang Quan watched all the films such as Kimchi Country's "Hanjiang Monster" and "Old Man", Neon's "Neon Sinking", and India's "Bollywood". .

Especially when he saw "Monster on the Han River", and then looked at "The Golden Armor" and "The Banquet" on the nomination list, Wang Quan suddenly felt powerless. Chinese-language films should really work hard.

After landing in Tokyo, it was already after midnight. Wang Quan called Umekawa Hideo and asked him where Dorothy lived.

"I have already visited Boss Tao. She lives in..." Umekawa Hideo told Wang Quan Dorothy's address.

Wang Quan heard the voice of a middle-aged woman on the phone, and he asked with concern, "Is your mother back?"

"Oh, no, it's my girlfriend Youyou." Umekawa Hideo said awkwardly.

"Oh~" I almost forgot, this guy likes older people.

Then Wang Quan went straight to the hotel, opened a room on the same floor, and knocked on Dorothy's door.

Then there was a voice sounding angry, and Dorothy had just fallen asleep.

"Who is it?" Dorothy opened the door and saw Wang Quan standing in front of him.

"Taotao, I'm here to apologize. Don't be angry anymore." With that said, Wang Quan closed the door with his backhand.

Dorothy is still a woman, not like Ellen Page. If you are a woman, you need to coax her. King Quan spent a lot of words to coax her.

"Do you know that at that moment I even wanted to fight back to compete with you for the golden harvest? I didn't believe that with my relationship with Mr. Zou, he could sell it to you but not to me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault." Wang Quan pressed her down and massaged her whole body to relieve her fatigue from the long journey.

Dorothy, "Okay, let's go. You'll invite me to Tokyo's red light district tomorrow night to experience it. Forget it, I'm going to sleep now."

"Do you really don't need me to accompany you?" Wang Quan's hands began to become irregular.

"Get out of here, I'm not interested in you!"

Wang Quan was kicked out, but he didn't expect that no one would take the money he sent to his door, so he sent messages to Nozomi Sasaki and Yui Aragaki respectively, telling him that he had arrived in Japan and he didn't know what their plans were during the day.

At this time, the girls were all asleep. Wang Quan lay on the bed and closed his eyes, waiting for the reply the next day. Unexpectedly, Yui Aragaki replied soon, "Where are you now?"

Wang Quan reported the hotel name and room number. An hour later, there was a knock on his door. The two people who had not seen each other for several months quickly hugged each other and began to move closer to the sofa.

He had always thought that Yui was much more reserved and shy than Nozomi-chan, but he didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic today. When she mentioned that Wang Quan would be jealous if someone kissed her at the Oscars, Wang Quan probably knew why.

The recognition of the United States is indeed effective in Neon, and the two statuettes were not in vain.

Early the next morning, when Nozomi Sasaki called Wang Quan, it was Yui Aragaki who answered the phone.

Hearing Yui Aragaki's lazy voice, Nozomi Sasaki screamed, "Why do I have to go to bed so early!"

Yui said, "Xi-chan, so are you coming now? I think he still has energy."

At this time, Wang Quan had woken up, and his eyes were still shining brightly when he looked at Yui Aragaki.

Nozomi Sasaki said distressedly, "I'm taking photos in Nara. I can't make it back. When will the director leave?"

Aragaki Yui glanced at Wang Quan, who took the phone and said, "Tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll try my best to get back." At this time, the royal power was gold-plated, and Nozomi Sasaki didn't want to let go of this opportunity to rise to fame.

Wang Quan was still planning to be warm with Yui-chan for a while, and then he heard a knock on the door.

It was Dorothy, "Director Wang, should we set off..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw the cute long-legged girl wrapped in a quilt behind Wang Quan.

"Damn, you're eating alone!"

Wang Quan, "Boss Tao, you are mistaken. Let me introduce you to Ms. Yui Aragaki. She is an actress and the heroine of our Tokyo branch's first production. I was auditioning just now."

At this moment, Aragaki Yui was confused, "?"

I slept with a heroine this night!

(Here are some photos of Yui’s wife, I’m counting on you!)
