You don't understand the happiness of the director

Regarding such box office results, Dorothy and Wang Quan are actually very surprised.

Wang Quan knew about the box office performance of these two movies in the original time and space, but he couldn’t guarantee what kind of impact they would have if they came together. He thought that “Twilight” would win, but he didn’t expect that it would win so completely. He pulled the show on the first day. Such a big gap opened up.

This kind of first-day box office is also quite explosive in the entire history of North American movies.

"Director Wang, the 200 million should be stable this time!"

Wang Quan shook his head, "The explosive power of fans towards movies is indeed very strong, but the price drops sharply after fans consume it. Let's look at it again. By the way, what about other markets?"

Dorothy, "The news from other markets lags behind, but news has been sent back from Hong Kong, which is HK$2.8 million on the first day."

She contacted Shi Nansheng directly.

This is already a lot, much stronger than the original time and space. I am afraid that this is mainly due to the influence of the royal power. People in Xiangjiang may look down on his status as a mainlander, but they dare not underestimate his status as a Hollywood director.

At this moment, Dorothy knew that the company's listing process would be accelerated. In order to achieve better listing performance by then, she hoped to make a few movies that had nothing to do with the royal power. However, almost every upcoming project of the company was related to him. Can't get rid of the relationship.

In addition to using his scripts, there are also projects adapted from his personal company Jiahe. I feel that the company cannot survive without Wang Quan. Although this is indeed the case, we cannot let outsiders know!

Wang Quan feels that Boss Tao’s idea is correct. In order to give shareholders and investors confidence, Long Toutou must develop in a balanced way. “So next, you can organize a movie yourself, and let Ma Ling improve her script. You must also be independent.” Walking."

"Oh, I don't know that. Brother Quan, please give me a hint." Dorothy asked for help. In fact, she understood it very well, but she was afraid that she would screw it up by taking action. Wang Quan was her backbone. As long as he said a word, You can be confident in yourself.

"Is this how you beg for help?" Wang Quan crossed his legs and acted like an uncle.

"Oh, Brother Quan~" Dorothy stood behind Wang Quan, letting his head rest on something soft, and gently rubbing his head with her fingers, "Just teach Taotao~"

Wang Quan liked the contrast between the shy and fierce girl, "I also rubbed my shoulders."

"I'll get you a complete set." Dorothy said angrily.

But Wang Quan still pinched his shoulders. Wang Quan was very satisfied and said, "I know a director who was born in South Africa and is very talented. His name is Neill Blomkamp."

Dorothy, "I've never heard of it. How much is his box office?"

"He hasn't made a feature film yet, but I like a short film he made called "Aliens of Johannesburg." You can ask him to come over and expand the story. It shouldn't be difficult to make an excellent feature film. question."

"Ah, isn't that a pure newcomer~" Dorothy was a little worried. There are not so many geniuses like Brother Quan who can earn a box office of 100 million dollars in one shot!

Wang Quan added, "His skills are still very solid, and isn't the black politician named O now going to run for office? This film is about apartheid, so it should be more in line with his political views, and maybe he can make a profit." .”

"Oh, my mother also likes the one named Ao. It seems that you two are on the same page."

Wang Quan, "This is called heroes seeing the same thing. When the time comes, I will help you recruit some actors. I can't say how popular it will be at the box office, but it is definitely the kind that can be used."

The kind that is not bad at the box office, word of mouth, and awards.

Dorothy was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'm going to watch that short film now!"

After Dorothy left, Wang Quan remembered that Lao Wang must still be waiting for news about him, so he called him.

"36.1 million dollars?" Lao Wang's voice suddenly rose, "Here, how much RMB does this cost!"

Wang Quan did a rough calculation and said, "More than 270 million?"

"Isn't that three hundred million?"

Wang Qiankun was very excited, "Made, it's easy for foreigners to make money. I have worked hard for more than a month to release the movie, and the box office is only more than 100 million. How much can I get from this more than 100 million? Let's watch again." In North America, the box office is 300 million in one day, so profitable!

After hanging up the phone, Wang Qiankun immediately contacted Mayo and asked him to focus on promoting the box office results of "Twilight" in North America.

Although it is good at home, it is really incomparable with the shocking feeling abroad.

Mayo, "Uncle, don't worry. Our colleagues in the United States have already sent the manuscript back. It not only contains data but also pictures and the truth. Quan'er has really made a fortune this time!"

Soon, the front page of Sina News published a press release from US-based reporter Li Xiulian.

The title is "The new King Power movie caused a sensation in the United States, with a box office of 300 million on the first day!" 》

First of all, there are a lot of photos in the article, some of which are overcrowded in the screening hall, some of which show audiences queuing up in long lines to get tickets, and some of fans taking photos around the Twilight Saga figure stand, and there is even a previous post The trailer was filmed and played in New York’s Times Square. The article said, “It is said that it was paid for by Director Wang’s die-hard fans, and it has been there for a week!”

In fact, it was the work of crazy book fans. It was broadcast once a day, and Li Xiulian directly attached herself to Wang Quan.

The article described the popular trend that the movie Twilight Saga is setting off in the United States. It only took one day for this trend to form. All book fans, movie fans and passers-by gave full marks to Wang Quan's performance.

"In terms of box office performance, "The Twilight Saga" took in more than 36 million U.S. dollars at the box office after just one day of release, which is about RMB 300 million, and Director Wang's production company can share 60% of it. Domestic Probably only 30 percent.

"This result is more than four times that of Director Wang's previous film "Escape Room" and almost twice that of "Fantastic Four 2" of the same period!

"This year, there is only one "Spider-Man 3" that has exceeded this first-day box office performance. Even "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Shrek 3" are far behind!"

Of course, this statement is not accurate. The first-day results of the above two super hit films that exceeded 300 million in North America must be higher than "The Twilight Saga", but they had an early screening on Thursday. Screenings are equivalent to midnight shows in China. They are usually arranged at 7 or 8 pm to give those eager and enthusiastic movie fans a taste of something new. This is usually done by super blockbusters that are confident in their reputation.

So these two movies will show that there are more than 10 million box office on Thursday, but that does not count the first-day results. It’s not that Li Xiulian doesn’t know, but when she says this, it seems that "Twilight" is simply awesome. , and it’s not completely wrong, this is the art of speaking.

For a time, the entire Chinese film lovers and practitioners were in high spirits!

At the Huayi Brothers Company opposite Qiankun Culture, Wang Zhonglei looked at the building opposite and said, "Brother, why do I feel like I can hear Wang Qiankun's laughter from so far away?"

Wang Zhongjun smiled bitterly. With a son like this, I would laugh too.

Wang Zhonglei added, "Damn it, when Wen Ye grows up, I will also let her learn directing, so that she can also experience the feeling of being a father to a talented director."

Wang Zhonglei's daughter Wang Wen was just nine years old. Wang Zhongjun shook his head and said, "You can pull it off. That child doesn't seem to have that kind of talent. She can't sit still after watching a movie for more than half an hour. She is obsessed with TVXQ."

Wang Zhongjun didn't bother to say much more about his niece who had been obsessed with pretty boys since childhood. Like father, like daughter.

Wang Zhonglei smiled awkwardly, "My eldest brother is still very cunning and co-invested in "Li Mi's Conjecture". The father and son named Wang are really not someone who can be offended easily. It would be great if I could join them in their blockbusters in the future."

Wang Zhongjun, "I have inquired about it and found out that "October Siege" does exist. As for the big production that Mr. Han mentioned, which starts at 800 million yuan, I can't find out at all."

"Then it's probably led by Long Toutou. We're definitely out of luck."

Just as he was talking, Chen Guofu, who was supervising the production of "The King of Kung Fu", called, "Have the two bosses of Twilight Zone in the United States heard about it?"

"Have you heard about it in the mountains and forests?" Wang Zhonglei was surprised.

Chen Guofu, "I heard what Liu Yifei said, and she also heard what Liu Xiaoli said. The success of the movie King Power made that old woman very proud. You can hear her excitement through the phone."

Wang Zhonglei said scornfully, "I really thought I could win over this son-in-law. How could such a young and successful man not be attentive? I guess he has played with all the black, white, and yellow ones."

At this moment, Wang Zhonglei even thought of his own Wen Ye. Doesn't that girl just like handsome guys? The king's power is not bad, otherwise... Damn, what are you thinking? Wen Ye is only eight years old, at least 16 years old!

Chen Guofu sighed with emotion, "There are really talented people from generation to generation, and each generation is stronger than the last. We are really old."

"Old Chen, how much do you estimate the box office of that movie will be?" Wang Zhongjun asked.

Chen Guofu said with his professional vision, "The box office of Twilight Saga did hit very hard at the beginning, but it was basically driven by avid book fans. The momentum will definitely be difficult to maintain, and it is estimated that it will not exceed 300 million US dollars."

Wang Zhonglei was overjoyed and said, "I'll just eat it for the first week."

Chen Guofu added, "But it's hard to say. I think the reviews are pretty good. The score on IMDB is seven points, and on Douban it has also risen from 8 points to 8.2. It shouldn't be difficult to break 200 million."

He set a range, between $200 million and $300 million in North America, and overseas it depends on whether Disney, the publisher, has its heart.

Wang Zhongjun lamented, "Two hundred million is terrible. I don't know if "The King of Kung Fu" can achieve this result."

Chen Guofu said confidently, "I think the problem shouldn't be big."

"Oh, really!" The two Wang brothers were all pleasantly surprised.

Chen Guofu, "Well, global box office, very likely."

The two of them were immediately discouraged. They thought you were talking about North America, but they could earn 200 million globally, but can they really achieve it?

In addition to the Wang brothers, Wu Yusen, who was filming "Red Cliff" in Zhuozhou, also heard about this.

During this period of time, he was immersed in creation and had no intention of paying attention to the outside world. He just wanted to fight a good turnaround and even let foreign film producers see whether Lian Po could still make a living at his old age!

However, producer Han Sanping came to visit today and specifically mentioned "Twilight" to him, praising him and Wang Quan as outstanding representatives of outstanding Chinese directors in Hollywood.

What do you mean, you are sarcastic, right?

He is currently popular in Hollywood, so I am too angry!

I'm angry and you still ask me to take pictures, why don't you ask him to take pictures?

Yes, "Mission: Impossible 2" only cost 215 million U.S. dollars in North America. Wang Quan may soon become the Chinese director with the highest box office in North America, but he has no chance of shaking the global box office record set by a Chinese director of 546 million U.S. dollars set by this movie!

Even if, by chance, even if he exceeds 546 million, the era is different and prices are different. He won the annual global box office championship back then!

For this annual crown, even if you, Wang Quan, will not be able to win it in your next life, I am afraid that no Chinese director will ever win this honor again!

Wu Yusen forced himself to cheer him up, but he didn't expect that when he was filming the scene where Xiao Qiao visited Cao's camp late at night, Lin Zhiling, who played Xiao Qiao, brought up the "Twilight Saga" again and talked to Xiao Songjia, who was in the same cast. He said, let's go see a movie together when we are free.

Little Song Jia also showed off to Lin Zhiling that she had won the second female lead in a drama produced by Wang Quan's father's company, and would go to the crew there in a few days. Lin Zhiling immediately expressed how envious she was, "This time I will play Dad Wang's drama, next time Maybe I can play the role of kingly power!"

Seeing them talking and laughing about the royal power, Wu Yusen was very unhappy, and then he went back to the director's chair to sulk alone.

He knew he had no reason to get angry, so he just asked Lin Zhiling to play out the scene again. He kept getting stuck for more than a dozen times before he felt it was time to call it a day.

Huh, don't you know who gave you this opportunity to play the leading female role? It's really not eye-catching to lick a mainland director.

As for the little Mainland Song Jia, we just need to cut a few more scenes with her. Li Ji is not an important role at all.

Some people are happy and some are worried, some are unhappy and some are happy.

In Xuyi Middle School in Suzhou Province, Ni Ni was reading the latest entertainment newspaper in the school bookstore when she saw the news about the success of "The Twilight Saga" in North America. After reading it, she ate an extra bowl of rice and felt sincerely for that much success. The nosy director Wang Quan is happy.

However, when she returned to the dormitory at night, she noticed that three other girls in the dormitory were looking at laptops together, which was not allowed into the dormitory.

These three people are so blatant, what is so attractive? Is it a small movie?

She leaned closer and asked, "What are you looking at?"

The man sitting in the middle ignored Ni Ni, a transfer student, and another girl said, "Twilight is very popular recently!"

Then the last person asked, "Want to come together?"

"Oh?" Ni Ni stood behind them and took a condescending look. It was indeed The Twilight Saga. It was the same one she saw in the cinema yesterday, but the quality was very poor. It should have been a screen recording. You can still see it. There are figures shaking in front of the screen and some voiceovers.

They didn't dislike it at all, they watched it with gusto, and they said Edward was so handsome!

Ni Ni said, "Send me the link. I'm busy now. I'll go to the Internet cafe to watch it when I have time."

"Okay, send me QQ and you can answer the call."

Then Ni Ni walked outside and took out his mobile phone, "Hey, hello, is this the piracy reporting hotline of Qiankun Culture Co., Ltd.? I found a piracy website of "Twilight" here. OK, OK, I'll send the URL. Put it in the mailbox and you should deal with it as soon as possible. No bonus is required. Fighting piracy is everyone’s responsibility."

After returning to the dormitory, Ni Ni picked up a mathematics teaching aid and started reading it. When the three of them saw that it was about to end, suddenly, the video stopped moving!

"Maybe it's stuck, there are too many people watching." The girl sitting in the middle said, then she refreshed the page, and now the website was 404!

Ni Ni was also dumbfounded. Was it so fast and didn't even let them finish the movie? !
