You don't understand the happiness of the director

Early the next morning, Wang Quan felt refreshed and greeted the photographer, makeup artist, and lighting engineer. Everyone was very happy in their first collaboration yesterday, and everyone was in a good mood, except Meghan.

It's not that she was in a bad mood, she was just tired. She had to get some extra sleep for the afternoon shooting. She kept saying in her dreams: I'm exhausted.

Wang Quan especially likes to chat with the team responsible for special effects, because he wants to ask them to help make the company's opening animation after the filming is completed, hoping to give him a honest price.

There is a Chinese in this team, whose nationality is still there, named Feng Tianming. He is in his thirties, wearing glasses and a plaid shirt that is the stereotypical favorite among programmers.

Wang Quan didn't bother to chat with him before. Seeing that he was alone today, he stepped forward to chat.

When he learned that the other party was from Henan Province, Wang Quan immediately approached him and said, "My ancestral home is from Hebei Province. We are separated by a river and live in the Great Plains of North China. We are all from the Central Plains."

Seeing that Wang Quan, a new and promising director who is now very proud of himself, is so approachable, Feng Tianming is willing to chat more.

"Actually, when I first joined the team, I thought you were going to be targeted by these veterans at such a young age. I didn't expect them to be impressed by your abilities so quickly."

Wang Quan, "Maybe it's because they don't have the habit of internal friction. Cooperating with each other and finishing the filming early is a good thing for everyone. Of course, the main reason is that the producer J.J. is holding them back."

"That's right, Abrams is indeed a very capable producer."

Later, Wang Quan asked Feng Tianming how he got into this business.

"Actually, I want to go to Silicon Valley..."

It turned out that Feng Tianming was not willing to stay in the United States. He was the only child in his family, but his girlfriend wanted to study in the United States. He couldn't let go of his girlfriend and was worried about long-distance relationships, so he gave up his status as a promising Baidu researcher in China. I followed my girlfriend to Los Angeles, and relied on my excellent computer skills to start working in computer special effects.

Wang Quan asked Feng Tianming if he had any difficulties living in the United States.

"I have no problem with the language barrier. It's still money. Although I make a lot of money, I always feel that it's hard to make money for one person and spend it on two people."

Wang Quan nodded, and then left his contact information with Feng Tianming. They were both fellow villagers, and there was no conflict of interest. There might be opportunities to cooperate in the future.

Wang Quan took out his mobile phone and counted the time. It was almost early morning in the country, and he didn't know if Mimi had slept.

Of course not. Yang Mi just watched "Wulin Gaiden" with her parents for a while, and it made people laugh. The key point is that these actors are very popular. It is said that they can compete with the Spring Festival Gala for ratings. It is so enviable. This is Brother Quan What about the influence of a divine drama?

Now she is back in her room and is watching the Sohu video interview about Uncle Kun with great interest. She is enjoying watching it and has a new understanding of Uncle Kun's thick skin.

In this interview, we can see that it was his father Wang Qiankun who guided Wang Quan’s love for movies as a child.

It is his father Wang Qiankun who insists on watching movies with his son every day and answering his questions after his busy work.

It was his father Wang Qiankun who brought his son Wang Quan to the set of "Farewell My Concubine" to experience the charm of the masterpiece.

It was his father Wang Qiankun who used a bonus of 10,000 yuan to cultivate Wang Quan's interest in editing and behind the scenes of movies.

It was his father, Wang Qiankun, who argued with Wang Quan's mother, even to the point of parting ways, in order to support his son's entrance into film school.

It’s my father, Wang Qiankun…

To sum up, a father’s love is like a mountain!

Uncle Kun is really a bit too much. Could it be that Brother Quan's path to becoming a director is without my contribution, Yang Mi!

As a child actor, I don’t bring Brother Quan with me every time I act. It’s because of me that Brother Quan can frequently come into contact with the crew and the core of the movie.

Without himself, would he be able to meet Zhou Xingxing at the age of seven?

Without himself, could he have taken a photo with Sun Wukong at the age of eight?

Without himself, would he be able to ask director Huo Jianqi for advice on film and life at the age of twelve?

Therefore, Director Wang Quan’s current success is half Uncle Kun’s in military merit and half his own! At least it cannot be less than one third!

Wang Qiankun finished playing by himself, and his subordinates also helped to play together. The boss is a film master hidden among the people.

Fortunately, he did not forget that this was an interview about his son. At the end of this interview video, Wang Qiankun also showed photos of his son from childhood to adulthood, focusing on a handsome, tall, sunny and cheerful boy.

Wang Quan is afraid he will cry when he finds out. The sense of mystery he has always wanted to maintain was completely destroyed by his father. Under the video, director Wang Quan suddenly appeared many good-looking fans, and the comments were disgusting. Even when Yang Mi was a child, she wanted Wang Quan for herself. Buy Arctic Ocean has never said such explicit words.

Eh, disgusting~

Yang Mi shuddered and looked at the group of college classmates again. No wonder Yuan Shanshan knew about Brother Quan. It turned out that the school had already hung up congratulations banners. All grades and classes in the school were discussing this matter. It was estimated that There must be people talking about it over there.

Of course, during the discussion, there were also people who said that Wang Quan was a scumbag who was always surrounded by different girls.

Yang Mi lamented that successful people are always accompanied by all kinds of rumors and slander. This is probably the price of fame, but everything about Brother Quan should be true.

She also learned about some of Brother Quan's great achievements in school from Re Yizha. Re Yizha was a student in Nortel's vocational class, one year ahead of Yang Mi. The two of them had known each other for shooting magazines in high school. Yang Mi Knowing that Re Yizha is an upright person, he should not slander him.

However, Yang Mi felt that Re Yizha might be exaggerating about love leading to hatred. How could four girls in one dormitory fall for each other? It would be difficult to arrange the time.

Just as she was thinking about it, Wang Quan's call came. Yang Mi, who was lying on the bed, immediately sat up straight. Even though she knew the other party couldn't see her, she straightened her hair and clothes, "Hey, Brother Quan, what are you doing~"

Wang Quan sat on the toilet, first briefly replied to the concerns and congratulations of his parents and classmates, and then called Yang Mi.

Wang Quan looked down and said, "Think."

"Are you thinking about me? Are you trying to assign a role to me?"

Wang Quan-_-||: I was thinking about constipation, not Yang Mi!

"Don't think about it for the next year. If you are given a role, whether you should be paid or not, you will have to pay back three or four times the amount to the company. Isn't this just taking advantage of someone else?"

Yang Mi also wanted to say, let’s give it a friendly price, why don’t we charge no money? Wang Quan said again, “Besides, your English is not good enough.”

That's right, Brother Quan is now a Hollywood director, and the movies he makes are all with English dialogues. If it doesn't work, he can go back and sign up for a class at New Oriental to do a surprise!

"Brother Quan, tell me about your two movies. I saw them in the class group. One is called "Lars and the Real Girl", which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. How do you translate it into Chinese? I My classmates are all literal translations, which I don’t think is accurate.”

The Chinese translation of this movie is actually a bit shameful, but Wang Quan feels that Yang Mi shouldn’t care about that, “It can be translated as Inflatable Doll Love.”

"What?" Yang Mi didn't quite understand, "Is it an inflatable balloon that looks like a doll? Is this how the hero and heroine met?"

After all, she is still young and has received less external pollution now. Wang Quan explained patiently, "The heroine is this inflatable doll, which looks like an adult woman. You can think of it as a large Barbie doll. They usually have beautiful faces. Her hot figure and nice touch are used to satisfy the physical needs of single men, and the male protagonist regards her as his lover."

"Ah!" Yang Mi understood a little bit and was shocked, "Brother, I'm afraid your movie won't be released in China, right?"

"How to say?"

"This must be a pornographic film!"

"It's not that pornographic. In North America it's only rated PG-13. Teenagers over 13 years old can watch it if accompanied by their parents. In fact, it's a very healing movie."

Then Wang Quan told what kind of story it was, "The male protagonist Lars is a lonely person with no friends and doesn't like to talk. His life is lifeless and colorless, until one day he and his brother made friends online. He had a girlfriend, brother and sister-in-law who were very happy for him. However, when they arrived at his house, they found that this so-called girlfriend was just an inflatable doll Lars bought online. She was dressed up in heavy makeup and named Bianca.

"Lars talked to her as if she were communicating with a human being, and accompanied her to eat and watch TV shows. She seemed to be mentally disturbed. My brother and sister-in-law consulted a psychiatrist, but they could only act with him first and treat Bianca as a real existence. human beings, and worked hard to convince the people in the town to understand his brother's behavior, and even invited them to the party..." (Note 1)

When Yang Mi was a child, every time Yang Mi slept with Wang Quan, she especially liked to listen to Brother Quan telling stories.

At this moment, she was equally fascinated by what she was listening to. The obscene thoughts she had at the beginning were gone, replaced by sympathy for the fate of the characters.

This is a good story!

Even if you are as shallow as she is, you can still hear the excellence of this story. As expected of me, Brother Quan, you deserve to be shortlisted for the Oscar. If this award is not awarded to you, then it is nationality and racial discrimination on the part of the judges!

"Such a good story, brother Quan, why don't you film it yourself!" Mimi asked again.

Wang Quan laughed, "We were short of money at that time. If I could invest money in making a film myself, I would definitely choose the latter if I could make money by selling it to others. Moreover, this kind of literary and artistic film is definitely not as profitable as a commercial film, so I chose the first film as a director. "The Basement."

"Tell me about this movie. How come it only cost 5 million and sold for 20 million!" Yang Mi is very enthusiastic about making money.

"The cost of 5 million is an exaggeration. The full cost is only 2 million."

"Ah, 2 million, 20 million!" Yang Mi was shocked. Isn't that ten times the profit? It was much better than the four times the profit people said before. Her admiration for Brother Quan increased by 2.5 times.

Wang Quan reminded, "Costs are industry secrets. Just know them and don't talk nonsense."

"Hmm, don't you understand me? I have a strict mouth."

Wang Quan: I’ve never tried this~

Yang Mi asked again, "It's only two million. Of course it's a lot of money, but for a Hollywood movie, isn't it too little? It seems like this is a science fiction movie, right?"

"Because there are few actors, there are few scenes," Wang Quan explained. "There are only three main characters, one supporting role, and the scenes are basically one interior scene and one exterior scene. Although it is science fiction, there is only a little bit of science fiction at the end of the movie. The main theme is Suspense and twists.”

"Ah, brother, please tell me!" Yang Mi's curiosity was aroused.

Wang Quan did not agree, "If it is difficult for "The Love of Inflatable Dolls" to enter the domestic market, then I don't think it will be a big problem for "Basement", so you have a chance to see it in domestic cinemas. If you spoil it now, it will be in the future." It just doesn’t look like fun.”

If foreign films want to enter the mainland market, in addition to the fixed 20 blockbusters each year, there is also a film batch model. Before 1994, there were only batches of films in China, which meant buying out some old films without any new and exciting blockbusters.

There is hope that "Ten Coverwood Lane" will enter the mainland market through film approval, but it usually takes a long time after it is released in the United States, even several years.

Wang Quan also told Yang Mi about the knowledge of film approval, and she said sadly, "It will be very, very late. Maybe we won't be able to see it this year~"

Wang Quan was silent for a moment, "This film will be released in North America during the summer. If you are free at that time, you can come to the United States to see me and I will watch a movie with you~"

(It’s Monday! It’s the day to hit the list again! Last week was not very successful. This time I hope everyone can help Laofu, at least close to the top twenty! Please vote for me, please recommend me, please interact with me in this chapter!)

(Note 1: The script of this movie was actually born around 2004. It has been slightly modified here so that it has never been born. In the past, Lao Fo wrote entertainment articles in pursuit of being absolutely consistent with reality. Now his mentality has changed, and he still writes for the plot. Service is the most important thing. After all, even if I pay attention to such trivial details, most readers don’t actually care. We who read books only care about whether they feel comfortable~)
