You don't understand the happiness of the director

In fact, no matter how hard Yui Aragaki works today, this new project will belong to Nozomi Sasaki. It is difficult to hold a bowl of water flat, but at least there must be an attitude.

Yui-chan seems to understand this truth, so she plays support more often, leaving the opportunity for performance to Nozomi-chan.

In the end, Nozomi Sasaki got full marks, and Wang Quan stamped her with a stamp symbolizing top students.

Wang Quan asked them, "Have you ever heard of a girls' manga called "I Want to Tell You So Much", written by Karuho Shiina."

The two women shook their heads. It seems that the manga is not very well-known, but after being made into a movie, it took over one billion yen, which is about half of the results of "Koisora", so it is considered relatively successful.

Wang Quan told them, "This is the film plan for the Tokyo branch of Dragon Head Head next year. Now the heroine belongs to Nozomi. You can take advantage of the time before the film starts to learn acting."

"Thank you, Wang Jun, I will work hard!" Sasaki Nozomi's voice became even more tired.

"Well, show off the energy you just worked hard~"

When he came to the company for a meeting the next day, Wang Quan formally affirmed and commended the work of Yoichi Moriko, Hideo Umekawa and other management personnel during this period.

In addition, arrangements were made for the company's new movie project, including confirming that the heroine of "I Want to Tell You So Much" is Nozomi Sasaki. He did not hide it at all. Although he did not say it clearly, the meaning was obvious: I hold this vase. .

After the meeting, in the evening, Wang Quan took Meichuan to meet his old friend Kon Satoshi. He was very excited that Wang Quan was finally going to make this Inception movie. Since Wang Quan came to Tokyo, he naturally wanted to meet him.

At the same time, the crew of Huang Jianxin's "A Story of Two Foods" in Shancheng was also preparing to pack up and return to Beijing. Before leaving, he invited the crew and the main cast to have a meal together.

Everything on the crew is running well. Neither Yu Nan nor Zhang Jiayi is someone who bullies new directors. Chen Zhengdao, a native of Wanwan, is also very good at things. He lived in the mainland for half a year and worked on the crew of "Orphans" for two years. months, it seems to be helpful.

Originally, he could have stayed with them for a while, but Wang Quan was going back to China. He must have come back for "Inception". He had to be present for such a big event.

When Director Huang heard the news that Wang Quan was coming back, the director and the three actors had different expressions. Jiang Yiyan was the most proactive, "Mr. Huang, is Director Wang going to choose actors when he comes back?"

What she actually wanted to ask more was whether she had a chance.

Huang Jianxin shook his head, "Liu Yifei in your class has such a good relationship with Director Wang, so she wasn't even selected, and the others are even less likely to win."

Zhang Jiayi asked, "Director Huang, are Director Wang and Liu Yifei really dating?"

Huang Jianxin smiled lightly, "I don't know about such private matters. You might as well ask Xiao Jiang. She and Liu Yifei are still classmates."

Jiang Yiyan said, "She doesn't come to school very often. She says she's a classmate and we haven't had a few classes together. How can we know such private things? But I heard that Director Wang had sex with many female classmates in school during his time at school." The relationship is close, and close at the same time.”

Huang Jianxin immediately put on a serious face, "Don't those female classmates have mouths themselves? They haven't spoken out themselves, so it's others' turn to make irresponsible remarks!"

Jiang Yiyan's face suddenly turned pale. She immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. Wang Quan was the big boss, and even Director Huang was his subordinate. She said such things in front of Director Huang. It was really, really I was so stupid that I cried.

Yu Nan felt that Xiao Jiang was a good actor, but sometimes he couldn't speak clearly, so he interrupted with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, I heard that you were selected by director Lu Chuan. This opportunity is also very good. Director Lu's level is obvious to all. "

Zhang Jiayi also said, "Ah, is it true? There are a lot of scenes, right?"

Jiang Yiyan's face softened a little, "Director Lu really values ​​me and lets me play a character with a lot of inner drama, but it's not yet certain when his movie will be launched. Compared with Director Wang, Director Lu Chuan is too Slow down."

Huang Jianxin, “It’s not just speed, there’s also a big gap in quality and level.”

Zhang Jiayi echoed, "That's that."

Jiang Yiyan would like to say that "Juno" is a relatively high-level drama for King of Power, and the others, including "Twilight", are just average. Director Lu and "Kekexili" are definitely worthy of a fight.

However, she did not dare to speak out these inner thoughts. She just said, "The new generation of directors, under Director Wang, is Director Lu."

Huang Jianxin shook his head, "Ning Hao who made "Crazy Stone" is also good, but his works are a bit lacking. It has been more than a year since "Crazy Stone", so why hasn't he made any move? Is he resting on his credit book and not wanting to move? "

Speaking of this, Yu Nan had to explain for Ning Hao, "Director Ning Hao has been secretly preparing a new movie in Western Xinjiang recently, and it will start filming next year."

Chen Zhengdao finally found an opportunity to interrupt, "How did Teacher Yu Nan know?"

Yu Nan smiled and said, "Because Director Ning Hao invited me to play a role and asked me to find time to practice pole dancing."

Chen Zhengdao was stunned, what kind of role was he playing? He still had to practice that one!

Listening to Yu Nan's explanation, he was in Western Xinjiang and pole dancing, Huang Jianxin was a little strange, "Is this movie you are talking about a crazy series of comedy films?"

Yu Nan, "No, it's a somewhat dark movie. I also know the crazy series you mentioned. Ning Hao had two ideas at the same time. He originally wanted to make some money by making a comedy first."

Huang Jianxin, "Yes, I heard China Film and Television Korea always say that, and then we will shoot the crazy series, and the scripts have been written."

Yu Nan smiled and said, "The fault lies with Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng is the leading actor in this movie. He went to Venice and told Ning Hao when he came back that it was really good to hold the Golden Lion trophy in his hand. It’s wonderful to win awards on the international stage, but I should have made that dark movie first.”

Zhang Jiayi also laughed, "Xu Zheng probably wants to become the leading actor as soon as possible."

Yu Nan said, "Anyway, Director Ning was persuaded."

In fact, what Ning Hao was thinking at the time was that he could never be a match for Wang Quan compared to the box office, so it would be better than the awards.

The Oscar is not considered because it belongs to the United States. It’s not that we can’t win it, it’s because we don’t have the objective conditions.

But the three major European films are the same for everyone. He has experience in the Berlin International Film Festival before, but it is not the main competition unit, but the screening unit.

But apart from one short film, King Quan has never been shortlisted for the main competition.

If this "No Man's Land" of mine can win awards in the three major European competitions, then the peerless duo can be mentioned again!

With this idea in mind, Ning Hao persuaded Han Sanping to take the lead in launching the "No Man's Land" project. Of course, what he said when persuading Mr. Han was that the audience needs freshness, and it is not appropriate to shoot a series of crazy movies one after another. series, it would be better to make another one, so let’s make “No Man’s Land”.

If this movie can be approved and released before the first half of 2009, then Ning Hao will really have to thank Xu Zheng and Wang Quan for stimulating him.

The next day, Wang Quan, after spending the whole night, left the beauty behind and went to Shinjuku to visit Cheng Long's "Shinjuku Incident". Here he saw his old friends Azu and Pang Bing, and met one of the four little beauties for the first time. Xu Jinglei, his blog friend.

"You kid, aren't you trying to pick up girls in India?" Cheng Long hugged Wang Quan enthusiastically, causing Azu and Pang Bing, who had already made hugging gestures, to reluctantly take them back.

"I'm not here to pick up girls, I'm just scouting for locations." Wang Quan complained, thinking that everyone was like you.

Wang Quan then greeted old and new friends one by one, including, of course, the film's director Er Dongsheng.

During the break, everyone was interested in his new movie, especially the four guest stars. Cheng Long pulled Wang Quan and said, "Explain to them that I am not among the four guest stars, right? You didn't talk to me at all." Said."

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Brother, you actually don't know whether it's with you or not."

"ah?"

Wang Quan deliberately teased them, "These four people are the kind of friends who just say hello, no matter where they are or what they are busy with, they will definitely come to help, so I didn't notify them at all, and the photos were taken by the staff."

Azu: Boss, that’s not what you told me before. Could it be... Oh, I understand!

After thinking for a while, he realized that Wang Quan was playing tricks, so he pretended to be confused.

Wang Quan added, "But I can tell you that there is one person from the crew of "Shinjuku Incident" who will star in the movie "Inception"."

Fan Bingbing's eyes gleamed, could that be me?

Although she and Wang Quan didn't meet many times, she felt that they cherished each other, a kind of pairing of a scumbag and a prodigal.

Wu Yanzhu also made an expression like "could it be me?" In fact, it was him. Wang Quan had told him a long time ago.

Although Xu Jinglei also hopes that it will be her, she feels that Cheng Long is the most likely. After all, he is an international superstar.

Well, Cheng Long thought the same way, and was waiting for Wang Quan to call him one day.

Next year Cheng Long will personally direct "Twelve Zodiac Signs". Wang Quan came here to remind him again that he should keep the heroine for himself and don't give it to Yinghuang's people when the time comes.

After finishing this matter, Wang Quan went to the airport to prepare to return to Beijing. This time he would stay in the country for about a week.

As soon as I landed in King Quan, I bought the latest magazine, and then saw the news that "Lust, Caution" was suddenly removed from the shelves. Although 13 minutes had been deleted, Wang Quan was not surprised by this result.

This movie has already received over 40 million at the box office in Hong Kong. Within one week of its release in the Mainland, the box office exceeded 100 million. It can be said that the momentum is very strong. If it had not been suddenly removed from the shelves, 200 million would have easily been achieved.

But the movie has had a negative impact on social atmosphere, and the entire Internet is asking for resources. Are they watching movies? They are meat. If the General Administration lets it go, they will definitely be criticized verbally and writtenly.

If nothing else happens, someone will definitely have to bear the consequences for this movie. It can't be Li Bian or Tony Liang. They both have the value of uniting, so you can imagine who it is.

This movie and this incident reminded Wang Quan that even if he could enjoy more privileges than Li Yi, he should not be too presumptuous.

After returning to China, Wang Quan first stopped for a while in Beiying Community. It can be seen that there are traces of someone living here. It seems that Mimi occasionally comes to stay.

Then he visited his mentor Xie Fei. The old man was completely retired and couldn't rest anymore, participating in film activities everywhere.

China Media has a college student film festival. Now they want to make it bigger and rename it First Youth Film Festival to provide a platform for young filmmakers. Teacher Xie is working on this.

Wang Quan thinks this matter is very meaningful. To put it bluntly, it is difficult for most elderly directors to keep up with the times, and the movies they make are inevitably a bit old-fashioned.

For example, director Huo Jianqi ("That Mountain, That Man, That Dog"), whom Wang Quan likes very much and has worked with, is always indispensable in movies. This method is already outdated nowadays. Who still uses narration in movies nowadays? It will only appear that the narrative is incompetent.

Young directors may still be immature in their techniques and weak in controlling crews, but they are brave enough to innovate, break through, and adapt to the times. Future Chinese-language films will definitely depend on directors of their generation.

So Wang Quan patted his chest and said, "If there is a lack of funds, I can help."

He is not short of money now and can invest, but he probably won't have time to be a judge.

It was precisely because there was too much money that when Chen Chuling came over in the afternoon, Wang Quan told her to ask her to help him buy some housing.

Chen Chuling thought she was going to talk about buying copyrights, but it turned out that she was buying more than one house!

Wang Quan smiled and said, "There must be more than one set. Look, do you have to buy one set for the villa and one for the larger building?"

Coupled with this set, it can be regarded as a cunning rabbit with three caves.

Wang Quan has no interest in hoarding houses, even if he knows that the price will skyrocket in the future. Mom still has several apartments there, which are enough. Three apartments are almost enough.

In addition to buying a house, the other option is to buy an office building for the company, but there is no rush for this until the location of Butian Films is determined.

Feng Tianming contacted Chen Chuling as soon as he returned to China. He was building a team while selecting a location. Wang Quan needed a relatively large and cheap place to build a special effects studio. Wangdao Pictures had better not be too far away from the special effects company.

"The house matter is not urgent. Just worry about it for me whenever you have free time," Wang Quan said. "Come to the company with me. I have a meeting."

There were not many people at the meeting, only Wang Quan, Chen Chuling, Huang Jianxin, Du Yang, and Wang Qiankun, a non-staff member.

Wang Quan asked Lao Wang, "Dad, is your cinema in Wudaokou open now?"

"Still a long way to go."

"Is the IMAX screen ready?"

"That one is fine."

"Where's the 3D projection equipment?"

“It’s not installed yet, but it can be installed at any time.”

Wang Quan nodded, that’s good, there’s no need to borrow the IMAX at the Science and Technology Museum.

Wang Quan said, "I brought back a short film this time called "Gravity 3D". It was shot using the most advanced 3D technology. The cost of this 5-minute short film alone exceeded 100 million."

Wang Quan has gained the essence of Lao Wang, and the cost has increased a lot. Huang Jianxin and Du Yang were shocked when they heard this.

Wang Quan smiled, "When the time comes, you can publicize it like this to the outside world. Then we will make an appointment with Mr. Han and invite him to come and see if we can force them to upgrade their cinemas. Not only Mr. Han, but also all major theater chains across the country will be invited. Just look at the equipment this time.”

Wang Qiankun laughed and said, "It would be better if they don't change it. Then I will make all the money."

Wang Quan, "It's better to change. I have made money. I bought a company in the United States that produces 3D projection equipment. I will buy it directly from my company when the time comes~"
