You don't understand the happiness of the director

Wang Quan felt that he was not a rich second generation, and he was reluctant to live in such a good hotel alone. More than 3,000 a night was too expensive.

Filming in the United States almost emptied his pockets, so he should go home and live, and he will be able to breathe a sigh of relief when he can find a taker for his film.

This time he took the subway, got off at Hufang Bridge, and walked to Lazhu Hutong with his suitcase.

As soon as I turned a corner, I ran into an acquaintance, "Hey, Uncle Yang."

"King Quan, are you back from America?"

The former old neighbor Uncle Yang was wearing a police uniform and passing by on an electric scooter, and his hairline moved back a lot, making people worry about the future of his daughter.

One parked the car, the other stopped, and the two chatted. Uncle Yang's family had moved from Lazhu Hutong to a residential area assigned by the unit, but they lived not too far away. They were old neighbors in the Hutong for more than ten years, and their relationship was still there, and they often walked around. .

From his mouth, Wang Quan learned that his father, Wang Qiankun, had returned to his hometown in Ji Province two days ago, but he had the key, as long as he did not move.

After chatting for a while, Uncle Yang didn't mention his daughter. It seemed that he was still guarding against himself. Didn't he just walk a little closer? He regarded her as his own sister, and he didn't even call her when he was in the hotel. A phone call? It shows the innocence of the relationship.

Smiling and waving goodbye to Uncle Yang, Wang Quan walked a few more steps, and opened the gate of his courtyard according to the password. It was a private courtyard, which was different from the large courtyard where Uncle Yang and the others lived in groups.

His father, Wang Qiankun, has a courtyard house in the second ring road of the capital, covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters, but Wang Quan doesn't think this is considered a rich second generation.

In addition, Wang Qiankun still has a few shop fronts for rent, which can earn more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a month, but can this be considered as the second generation rich?

In addition, Wang Qiankun also runs a movie theater in Dashilan, but the movie market is sluggish, and it seems that he cannot be regarded as a rich second generation.

So Wang Quan is just an ordinary sunny and cheerful boy in the capital.

After entering the courtyard, he first went to the toilet. There was nothing good about this courtyard house. The toilet was not installed at home until he was in high school. Before that, he had to go to the public toilet outside.

Turning around, the inside and outside of the house are almost the same as when I left a year ago, and they haven't cleaned up much. It seems that there is no new hostess here.

Immediately, he called Ms. Mei Yanqiu, the former hostess of the courtyard house, "Hey, Mom, I'm back in China... I'm at my dad's place, so I won't go to your place today. I'm going to catch the jet lag. Let's talk about it tomorrow." .”

After thinking about it, I also politely informed my dad that he was busy playing mahjong over there, so I didn't chat a few words.

When his parents divorced for the first time, he was sentenced to his mother. After the second divorce, he chose his father. By the time of the third divorce, he had grown numb and grown up. He would not follow anyone, so his parents paid for him Set up a small second home, so he is his own head of household.

But every Spring Festival, he has to spend the New Year with his parents alternately. Last year, he accompanied Lao Wang back to his hometown, and this year it is his turn to spend the New Year with his mother in the capital.

Since noon, I don’t know how long I slept. I only remember that in the dream he stood on the Oscar podium and proudly announced in Chinese, “The era of my royal power has come. I also want to announce that I will return to China soon to film my first film. Chinese movies..."

Then Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio cried and begged him not to leave. Charlize Theron even blocked his mouth with his lips and asked him to take back what he had just said. Don't say that kind of thing again.

Hey~

Sure enough, dreams have everything, especially daydreams.

In a daze, someone shook him awake, and Wang Quan saw a capable and elegant middle-aged woman.

"Mom, why are you here?" Wang Quan wiped the corner of his mouth, but luckily he didn't drool.

Mei Yanqiu pointed to the table, "Dinner is here for you, don't go to sleep, if you sleep at night, you won't be able to fall asleep, why are you jet-lagged?"

After calming down on the bed for a minute, Wang Quan said, "Mom, avoid it for a while, I'll get dressed."

Mei Yanqiu gave a "puchi" smile, "My son has grown up, let's do it."

When she came in again, Wang Quan had already put on his clothes and opened the insulated lunch box.

The aroma of dishes filled the room, and there were all his favorite home-cooked meals, including foie gras balls with oatmeal and shrimp gelatin, pork tenderloin, cherry meat, shark fin rice, and a bowl of abalone and oxtail soup.

Three dishes, one soup and one staple food, he will be able to finish it according to his appetite.

It sounds like there is no mother's taste, and it is true, it is all uncle's taste.

The ancestors of the Mei family were imperial cooks, and several generations have been cooks. The mother and second uncle inherited the legacy of the grandfather and opened a high-end private restaurant in the capital. The second uncle is the chef, and the mother is the manager. Brother and sister work together to make it bigger and stronger.

This kind of classic and authentic Chinese food is not easy to find in Los Angeles. Faced with American Chinese food, Wang Quan would rather eat Western food.

Mei Yanqiu sat aside and watched her son eat, and she was happy to see him eating deliciously.

"Mom, do you have anything to do tonight? I'll treat you to a movie." Wang Quan suggested while drinking soup. He thought of the "Fearless" poster he saw on the way back.

Considering its final box office of 100 million in the mainland and 68 million US dollars worldwide, as well as breaking 7 on Douban and nearly 8 on IMDb, it should be a masterpiece of action movies worth watching.

However, Mei Yanqiu looked at his watch with a troubled expression on his face, and Wang Quan knew that he didn't need to ask this question.

Mei Yanqiu also had no choice, "The end of the year is approaching, there are a few tables of very important guests tonight, I'm afraid the foreman will not resist."

"Understand understand."

Wang Quan silently packed up the lunch box, because most of the time he was in a single family, Wang Quan was very independent since he was a child, let alone watching movies alone, it is not uncommon for him to go to the hospital for transfusions alone.

"Son, I know you want to make movies in the future. You may use these in the future." When she was about to leave, Mei Yanqiu took out a stack of cards. She thought they were bank cards at home. ...

"This is... a business card?"

"These have all eaten in our restaurant, and they are all from the film and television industry. You see, these are the bosses of the film and television company, these are directors, and actors..."

Wang Quan was taken aback. Several of them are people who are in charge of the film and television industry today, including Wang Zhonglei, the Huayi brother who is now in the limelight, Jiang Zhiqiang, who created "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Tan, the boss of Xingmei Pictures. Qin) Hong, etc., my mother introduced and added one by one, obviously doing her homework.

Looking at his mother's serious face, Wang Quan knew that although this mother had always focused on her career and lacked concern for herself, she had also been implicitly expressing her love and concern for her son in her own way.

"Mom, thank you!" Wang Quan touched his mother's neck, but soon found that his mother took one of the business cards back.

After being discovered by her son, Mei Yanqiu said confidently, "Chen Daoming is my idol, you probably won't need an actor of this level, I'd better keep this one for myself."

King Quan: "..."

After seeing off his mother, Wang Quan paced in the yard to digest his food.

In fact, if he wants to watch "Fearless", he can watch it without going to the cinema, because he has it in his mind.

Yes, he has hung.

Last year, the plane flying to Los Angeles encountered strong convective weather and experienced severe turbulence. Wang Quan "squeaked" and pulled over. After waking up, there was an extra film and television library in his mind, from the birth of the film to 2025. The film and television drama variety show MV, etc. All video content can be viewed here.

Not only can you watch the films, but also the ratings, comments, box office, rankings of these works on major platforms at home and abroad, as well as some introductions and information about the front and back of the film and related actors.

The film resources in the past are nothing, and you can basically find them in the school library. The key is that there are still film and television content in the next 20 years. They have not yet been born, which is a huge wealth!

Thanks to this hack, coupled with his diligent study at the University of Southern California, and his hard work in absorbing professional knowledge, he directed his first feature film in less than a year after studying abroad, and won the Exhibited at the Sundance Film Festival.

The Sundance Film Festival is still three days away. The film was well received during its screening, and a film called "Little Miss Sunshine" sold for more than 10 million dollars in the same period, which made the partners more confident.

After all, the cost is only 2 million US dollars, and it is not difficult to recover the cost. It depends on how much they can earn. They are still a little ambitious.

After strolling for a few steps, Wang Quan put on his coat and decided to go to the cinema to watch a movie. Although the video library in his mind can also achieve the audio-visual enjoyment of the cinema, there is one thing it does not have, that is, the audience around him.

The atmosphere of watching a movie is also very important. Everyone is nervous and laughing together. The smell of popcorn in the air, the palm of the girlfriend’s skirt in the corner, and the rapid breathing of the two are all important parts of the fun of watching movies. , especially for commercial films.

As soon as he said go, Wang Quan went on the road alone. Not long after he left, a girl with only a pair of eyes knocked on the door of his house~
