You don't understand the happiness of the director

Wang Quan's personal achievements are indeed enviable. Chen Sicheng wants to be in the drama Wang Quan, and Chen Zheyi also hopes to become Singapore's King David. Of course, he only wants the part of King David that has won numerous awards.

Chen Zheyi is very young, only one year older than Wang Quan. In 2007, his short film "Grandma" was selected by Wang Quan and sent to the Cannes stage, and eventually won the short film Palme d'Or, which made him a rising star in the Singapore film industry. of new stars.

The royal power that has won numerous awards on the Oscar stage is not only his job, but also the ultimate goal he pursues.

It's a pity that director Wang Quan is now obsessed with commercial films with high box office. In his opinion, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is the fall of Wang Quan.

However, when he learned that Wang Quan was coming to Singapore to promote his movie, he still bought a ticket for that show through his connections and met Wang Quan himself for the first time.

He knew Wang Quan, but Wang Quan probably didn't know him. When he got a chance to stand up and ask a question, Chen Zheyi did not introduce himself and asked directly, "Director David, you are already the second person in the world in the field of commercial films, second only to Si Pierre Gerber, you also won the Oscar, so may I ask, do you plan to keep making commercial films?"

"Commercial films will continue to be made. It is a very happy thing that the film can make a profit. In the meantime, we may make some other attempts, such as exploring social issues, exploring the depth of human nature, etc." Of course, the two men and one woman lip-synced He probably wouldn't be able to shoot something like passing ice cubes through his mouth.

Hearing this answer, Chen Zheyi felt a little relieved, "Will you participate in film festivals like Cannes then?"

Wang Quan shrugged, "It's not just what I want. It also depends on whether it's to their liking. If I'm lucky, of course I'm willing."

In the Internet age, this news quickly spread to Europe. Gilles Jacob in Cannes, Marco Müller in Venice, and Dieter Koslick in Berlin expressed their disapproval of the royal power through the media or privately. welcome.

Although Wang Quan has never participated in a Category A international film festival except for his early "Juno", no one doubts that a genius like him can produce excellent artistic masterpieces, even if it is a commercial film model like "Inception", art The ideological content is also very high. In the year of its release, there was a wave of "Zhuangzi" craze around the world.

Moreover, he has a long history with the three major European films. He has served as a judge for Berlin and a film selector for Cannes. His short film has participated in Venice and won awards.

Wang Quan just put down the phone call from Cannes Film Festival Chairman Jacob, and then changed his position. Yui Aragaki and Nozomi Sasaki looked at each other and also exchanged positions.

Neon had to wait until September to see "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". As fans of King Quan, the two girls couldn't wait. They originally wanted to go to Xiangjiang to watch the movie. Later, they made a phone call with Wang Quan. Wang Quan was in Bangkok at the time and asked them to come to Singapore. alright.

Watching movies is one thing, but Wang Quan has not had friendly exchanges between China and Japan for a long time.

For this night, Wang Quan also let Naza go, saying that he was not feeling well and that the two of them would sleep in separate rooms tonight.

As for Li Bingbing, he simply said that he had an appointment, and I believe Sister Bingbing can understand.

Sister Bingbing can indeed understand, but she misunderstood.

Wang Quan had an appointment, and she thought it was with Naza.

She knew about the relationship between the two when they were on the set of Xijiang. However, when she went to the hotel restaurant for dinner at night, she met Nazha who was alone. Oh, it seems that Director Wang has many good friends even in Singapore.

So who is it? Fan Wenfang? Guo Feili? Or Sun Yanzi?

Just as she was thinking, Nazha had already seen her, so Li Bingbing came up to sit at the same table with her. Later, when she saw that Nazha wanted to visit Wang Quan, who was said to be unwell, she even took Nazha to go shopping as a big sister. He bought her a few gifts as a gesture, which could be regarded as helping Wang Quan delay time.

Nazha felt that she should express her gratitude to someone who was so kind to her, so she posted a photo of the two of them on Weibo and also showed off the gift Li Bingbing gave her.

Her good senior sister Jing Tian had just participated in a promotional event for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and was reading Weibo backstage. When she saw Nazha traveling to Xiangjiang, Thailand, and Singapore, she was so envious that she couldn't help but follow her Liu Shishi complained about unfair leadership.

Both of them were supporting actors who were left behind for domestic promotion.

Liu Shishi was open-minded, "Didn't Director Quan say that he would take us with him when he goes to Latin America for promotion?"

"Ah, did I tell you?" Jing Tian looked surprised.

Master Liu was even more surprised, "Ah, no, didn't you tell you?"

Jing Tian looked depressed, "As expected, I only have two minutes of scenes and I'm not even qualified for Latin America. I guess you can only think of me when you go to Africa."

Master Liu didn't know what to say to comfort Jingtian, but just at this time Yang Mi called.

"Ah, Mimi, you're done! Yes, we are in the Magic City too!" Then Master Liu glanced at Jing Tian, ​​"I'm with Jing Tian now."

Yang Mi knew that Jing Tian had a good relationship with Liu Yifei, so she said, "Then invite her to join us. We have known each other for a long time."

So Liu Shishi took Jing Tian to the appointment to meet Yang Mi, and she was accompanied by Di Lieba.

After hearing Jing Tian's complaints about Wang Quan, Yang Mi laughed and said, "It's indeed too much. Your company is still an investor."

"exactly!"

Then Yang Mi asked, "Junior sister, I have another movie offer here, are you interested?"

"Oh~" Although Jing Tian is just a contracted artist with a bright star, she can be the boss of the company, and Yang Mi also knows this.

Although "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was far from being able to make a return on its original production line based on the cost of 1 billion, Jing Tian felt that this investment was still worth it, so she asked, "Is it another new film by Director Quan?"

"No, this time it's directed by Ning Hao."

"Director Ning Hao~" Jing Tian's tone was not disgusting, but the disappointment was real. She knew Ning Hao. When Wang Quan was killing everyone in Hollywood, Ning Hao was filming her MV.

"Director Ning Hao is also very good. He and Wang Quan are known as the two most outstanding directors among the new generation of directors!"

Jing Tian: Why does this statement sound so familiar to me? I originally wanted to ask Wang Quan to shoot a MV for me, but I ended up asking Ning Hao instead. This is how others fooled me!

However, Yang Mi's deception skills are even stronger, and she made "Crazy Nian Beast" so popular that it is the comedy version of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp". 》Special effects team, director Wang Quan was full of praise for the script, and China Film Group fully supports it. The box office target is directly at one billion, and you will not lose any money, dear!

Liu Shishi and Reba were dumbfounded, she was so good at deceiving her!

Jing Tian finally failed to resist the temptation and asked, "How much will it cost?"

"I can give you 5% of this film, just 10 million." Yang Mi said with a very reluctant expression.

Previously, Jing Tian spent 10 million to get 1% of the share of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" from Yang Mi, but now he can get 5% of the share for 10 million. It's so worth it!

So Yang Mi successfully sold half of her share to Jing Tian, ​​and at the same time directly recovered her investment cost, so she was safe. Now there is no risk at all, and the returned funds can be used for other investments, so happy!

And she once again saw Jing Tian's money-making ability. This friend had decided that she would never be left to Liu Yifei alone!

Seeing Mimi becoming friends with everyone, Shishi was both proud and a little bit sour. However, when Mimi said she wanted to sleep with her at night, Shishi smiled happily again. She loved sleeping with Mimi in her arms the most. Very comfortable and easy to have sweet dreams.

Although Master Liu could sleep with Mimi in his arms, Wang Quan was equally comfortable holding Aragaki Yui and Sasaki Nozomi. Unfortunately, although Sakura Girl was docile, it was just for this day, and Wang Quan and his team would continue to Malaysia. , Indonesia, Turkey and other countries to promote movies, and then return to China.

After traveling around Southeast Asia and the Middle East, when the creative team returned to China, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" had already been released in the three Nordic countries and the Bear Country.

However, the new films released in China this week are not very popular. The market is still dominated by "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Transformers 3".

There is a new film "Egg Fried Rice" by Huang Bo. It is a parody of "Forrest Gump". Facts have proved that no matter how good the actor is when faced with a director who stretches his hips, it is impossible to turn corruption into magic. This film was immediately taken away. However, Huang Bo was more interested in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in which he played a supporting role.

He also pointed out when Director Quan would have a conscience and make a solo movie for himself.

Another new film is the main theme biopic "Yang Shanzhou" starring another important supporting actor in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Mr. Li Jiejian. The box office of this movie is very good, but it does not conflict with "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" at all. The other party's box office is no better. It won’t seize the market of “Ghost Blowing the Lantern”.

After Wang Quan returned to China, he immediately arrived at China Film Studio and chatted with Han Sanping.

In the past two weeks, Han Sanping's heart was like a ball of fire, very hot. He could see news about "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" going overseas in foreign news every day, and there were more than one.

Although some of these news are caused by Jiahe's distribution team taking money to clear the way, there are more real news.

The box office is real. "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has become the first mainland Chinese film to be a hit in many overseas countries. Chinese films have truly become a culture sweeping Asia and some European countries.

In the past, Chinese films also had this kind of grand occasion, but it was almost achieved with Cheng Long's punches and kicks. Now, as a director, Wang Quan has done it, and even done it better. He not only successfully launched a movie product, but also Success has introduced several actors to the world.

Han Sanping personally gave instructions to the agencies of several actors, asking them to all set up Twitter accounts to promote themselves and their movies simultaneously at home and abroad.

So even Chen Minghao, the fat man, has hired a new assistant who can speak English. Even though he doesn't have much money for acting in dramas, the salary for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is not high, but the second and third parts will follow. His salary has increased by a higher multiple than Liu Ye and Li Bingbing.

This movie depends on the reputation of King Power, and the next one will depend on themselves. If they can launch a few superstars with international influence, or even just Asian influence, it will be a huge success, and everyone will be happy to lose money.

Of course, Wang Quan will definitely not let China Film lose money.

"Currently, the overseas market with the highest box office, Wanwan ranks first, with more than 6 million dollars, which is equivalent to over 100 million Taiwan dollars. However, "Harry Potter" was released this week, which has a greater impact. Hong Kong, which was released on the same day, also had 5 million dollars. , and Furry Bear Country was more surprising, with a box office of more than $4 million in four days."

The markets in the three Nordic countries and several small countries in Southeast Asia are similar. Currently, they all cost one or two hundred US dollars, but the market in the Bear Country is not small. "Transformers 3", which was released for one month, took away 40 million US dollars in the Bear Country. box office, and "Avatar" has grossed over 100 million in the Bear Country.

Han Sanping said in surprise, "Although the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets are calculated separately from ours, they are still China's territory after all. It is normal for the box office to be high. However, Mao Xiongguo is a bit surprised. It looks like it can exceed 10 million U.S. dollars!"

Wang Quan nodded, "There is indeed hope, and it is huge."

In fact, 4 million US dollars is already the best result for a Chinese-language film in the Bear Country. The box office performance of Chinese-language films in the Bear Country has always been poor, far inferior to that in North America. The previous highest was Cheng Long's "Zodiac" with 3.8 million US dollars. knife.

The success of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" this time is mainly due to the fact that Long Toutou is in charge of marketing and distribution. In addition, Wang Quan's past performance in the Bear Kingdom is really good. "Inception" is still the second highest box office in the history of the Bear Kingdom. (No. 1 "Avatar") "The Twilight Saga 5" also entered the top ten.

So much so that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Captain America" ​​were released on the same day in the Bear Country, and Chinese-language films actually beat Hollywood. This incident was also reported by many Hollywood media, adding another highlight to King Power's strong record. Pen.

Hearing Wang Quan's affirmative answer, Han Sanping slapped the table and applauded. Now he can't wait to see "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" hit the film market in more countries!

In the past, people always said that Neon has animation, Kimchi has Korean dramas, and other people’s cultural products can be exported overseas. Now he can proudly say that China has royal power!

Of course, he can also shamelessly say that there are movies in China, but it is better to wait until the sequel of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" can still have such influence, or it can be slightly weaker. After all, now it mainly depends on the international power of Wang Quan. Director, it is foreseeable that the box office records of Chinese-language films in various countries will be refreshed.

Not only is it great abroad, but the domestic box office is not bad at all.

Han Sanping reported to Wang Quan, "Our marketing methods have not stopped while you have been abroad. In addition, there are no competitors in the same period. Hey, this "Transformers 3" has more than 800 million before the release of "Ghost Blowing", but Now ten days have passed, and there are only over 900 million, but "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has over 800 million, and it will soon catch up."

This week, "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern" received 418 million domestically, with a cumulative domestic box office of 844 million, equivalent to 130 million U.S. dollars.

Two days ago, Yu Feihong posted a congratulatory poster online on behalf of "To Youth" to celebrate "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" being crowned the champion of Chinese-language film history. She directly imitated Jiang Wen and let the protagonists of youth movies go directly to the cemetery to touch rice dumplings.

It is worth mentioning that her record was broken after only one month, but it doesn't matter, she likes to be broken by the royal power.

Wang Quan said modestly, "The finale of "Harry Potter" will be released next week, and the growth rate will slow down."

"No matter how slow it is, it can easily break the one billion mark," Han Sanping congratulated. "It's great to congratulate us. Our Chinese-language film has a mainland movie that has exceeded one billion, and it will get better and better in the future!"

Wang Quan nodded and asked, "By the way, how much has the global box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" been in the past two weeks?"

He didn't calculate it himself, but Han Sanping was always paying attention to the overseas box office, so he should know better than himself.

Han Sanping put on his reading glasses and opened an Excel, "The exchange rates are all different. I will convert them all into US dollars for you. Bayan, Xiangjiang, Philippines... Oh, yes, in two weeks, the overseas box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" It’s 33 million dollars, which means that the total global box office has reached 163 million! Oh, it’s equivalent to RMB over one billion!”

Wang Quan was shocked, "Oh, it's more than 148 million dollars!"

"Well, it's exceeded, eh? Is 148 million a special node?"

Just as Wang Quan was about to answer, Han Sanping saw a news pop-up on his QQ.

"Congratulations to Director Wang Quan for ranking first in global film history in total box office!"
