You don't understand the happiness of the director

Last year's "The King's Road" didn't have any particularly award-winning films, they were basically commercial films.

It's just that Yang Qing of "33 Days After Love" and Yu Feihong of "To Youth" were shortlisted for Director of the Year and Film of the Year.

In addition, "33 Days After Love" was also shortlisted for Screenwriter of the Year and Actor of the Year (Wen Zhang), while "To Youth" was shortlisted for Best Actress (Yang Mi).

Although Liu Yifei didn't have anything to do this year, she still attended the awards as a presenter, and she and Yang Mi attended as sisters in "To Youth".

When she met Mimi, she also revealed to Wang Quan that she had successfully become the vice president of the Actors Association, and Mimi had embarked on an official career!

Sister Fei Hong also successfully became the Secretary-General of the Performing Arts Society.

In addition, Power World Media has just signed an actor named Wang Xiao, who is highly regarded by Yang Mi. His mother Wang Fuli is the vice president of the Performing Arts Society.

It is a pity that "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" did not participate in the selection of any awards.

Zhang Yimou has officially broken up with Zhang Weiping, and Zhang Weiping still owes him part of the director's remuneration for "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". Fortunately, the big head has been obtained, and the rest is a matter of litigation. If you don't pay back the money, you can , so high and low that he became an old man.

This year's awards ceremony will be more grand, and the presenters are all top-notch popular stars. In addition to Xian Mi, there are also Ge ​​You, Chen Daoming, Shu Qi, Aaron Kwok, Fan Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, Chen Kun, Wang Baoqiang, Wang Qianyuan and others. , their participation can greatly enhance the reputation and influence of the Association of Directors Awards.

As for the gold content, it will be determined by each sufficiently convincing award result.

This year's selection results are still very convincing. "Let the Bullets Fly" won the Film of the Year and Director of the Year, and "The Piano" won the Screenplay of the Year. Both films have excellent reputations.

Ge You and Zhang Ziyi were the Actors and Actors of the Year respectively. It was understandable that Yang Mi did not win the award. In addition to Zhang Ziyi, her competitors also included Fan Bingbing, Qin Hailu and Shu Qi.

It's a pity that Fei Hong didn't get anything out of this trip. Although "To Youth" has a high box office, it is not the type to compete for awards.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan Director of the Year was won by Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang of Golden Harvest's "New World". It can be regarded as a popular success. There is no suspense. The NEW company in Kimchi Country likes this book very much and is interested in remaking it.

Although Yang Qing did not win the Director of the Year, he did win the Young Director of the Year. This was a great encouragement to him who was only 30 years old. He was so excited that he shed tears. He defeated Xu Haofeng ("Trace of the Japanese Pirates"). "), Li Yu ("Guanyin Mountain"), Han Jie ("Mr. Hello Tree") and other directors.

Last year, "33 Days Out of Love" made him gain a lot. With an investment of 10 million, it leveraged a box office of 355 million. It was ranked in the top ten of the year. It became a hit that he couldn't even imagine.

With the reward given to him by the film company, he directly bought a fully paid apartment in Beijing. Although it was not big, it was enough to live in.

It's a pity that the director position of "Ghost Blowing Lamp 2" has been taken by Li Weiran, and everyone has already started filming, and "Ghost 3" will still be a while away. In the meantime, he wants to make a slightly larger production to compete for "Ghost 3" in the future. 》Directors accumulate experience and qualifications.

So when Wang Quan asked about his plans for his next new film, he humbly said, "Director, can you let me be the executive director of your new film? I will take advantage of this time to polish the script."

According to his current status, even if he doesn't have a project in Wangdao, he can easily go out to take a job at another company and get millions in remuneration. Companies such as Huayi, Bona, and Guangguang all like Yang Qing, who can use his small skills to make big things happen.

And the company does not prohibit this kind of behavior, but will take some commissions.

"If you still serve me as executive director now, you are showing off your talents." Directors with a rating of 300 million are already ranked high in the country.

"How could it be? There is no end to learning, and I heard that this new film requires a lot of investment and is a super commercial blockbuster. I want to accumulate some experience for my next films."

The previous failure of filming "My Beautiful Boss" for Starlight made Yang Qing appear extra cautious now, taking every step very steadily.

Wang Quan finally agreed, and introduced him to Chen Kun, the leading actor of the new film. Wang Quan will still need more than a month to prepare, and the filming is initially scheduled to start in March.

While chatting, he felt a gaze directed in his direction. Wang Quan turned his head and saw that it was Pang Bing, who was looking at him resentfully.

The two of them haven't been in contact for a long time since their separation at the Academy Awards last year. She was very protective of herself for this man, but in the end, she couldn't even see anyone.

Wang Quanxin said, "Didn't you see that I still have Liu Yifei and Yang Mi with me? It's your turn."

But after all, I am also the shareholder behind Fan Bingbing Studio, so it is okay to talk about work.

In addition to Fan Bingbing, Wang Quan also bought shares in Li Bingbing's new company.

This is not because Wang Quan wants to make money from them, but because they want to find some peace of mind from Wang Quan. By investing in Hesong, sisters Li Bingbing and Li Jie feel more at ease.

I chatted with Pang Bing for a while and learned about her recent situation. Last year, I went to Kimchi Country to play the female lead in Jiang Digui's "The Day We Landed" in an attempt to expand her influence in Asia.

However, Wang Quan's impression was that this film was not very successful, and Fan Bingbing might be disappointed.

In addition, she also plans to train several female directors for my use. In addition to Li Yu, who has a close relationship with her, she also plans to cooperate with Jin Yimeng, the director of "Perfect", to continue to create chick films. It seems that "Love Is Not Blind" The success of "Three Days" stimulated her.

"Can Wang Dao be responsible for our distribution then?"

Wang Quan, "No problem. When the time comes, I will bring Qiankun to my side, and I promise to obey your arrangements."

Fat Bing's eyes flashed. In fact, she wanted Wang Quan to make arrangements now.

However, Wang Quan and Xian Mi had an appointment today, and they were going to have a threesome, so she could only wait in line at the back.

Before entering the three-person world, Wang Quan first obtained Zhang Weiping's phone number through his colleagues.

After receiving a call from Wang Quan, Zhang Weiping even suspected that he was a liar. Anyone could call him, but Wang Quan, how could he!

Without Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping didn't even know that he would not be able to work in the film and television industry, so he naturally had nothing to be polite to Wang Quan. He was already ready to fight against him.

It turned out that Wang Quan was not quarreling with him, but wanted to ask him, "Has there been any arrangement for the North American release of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?"

"W-what do you mean?"

King Quan, "The dragon raises his head and is interested."

"Are you telling the truth?" Zhang Weiping couldn't believe it. Of course he wanted to sell the copyrights in North America and even overseas. It was all his money, but Zhang Yimou was no longer popular in North America. With this theme, even Harvey They all expressed no interest.

And he himself does not have the ability to distribute overseas. He used to rely on Zhang Yimou's relationship with Anle's Jiang Zhiqiang to get involved, but now Jiang Zhiqiang ignores him.

Wang Quan, "Of course it is true. It is the duty of every Chinese to expose the heinous crimes committed by the Neon Soldiers in Jinling. At this time, can't I let go of my personal grudges with you? Then what do you think of me?" It’s too low.”

Zhang Weiping didn't expect Wang Quan to be so hypocritical. Isn't it just to invite names? Bah, disgusting. I am much more real. I just want to make money.

If Wang Quan can make him money, he can temporarily regard Wang Quan as his father.

"But," Wang Quan said, "I watched "The Thirteen Beauties" and didn't even sign up for awards. How can this be done? In this way, this year we will focus on winning awards, from the Asian Film Awards at the beginning of the year to the American Golden Globes at the end of the year. Awards, flush out all promising awards, and then it will be much easier to issue.”

"Win the prize? Do you need to spend money to win the prize?" Zhang Weiping doesn't plan to invest another penny in this project. Zhang Yimou and Ni Ni are both traitors!

"Some need it, some don't. In this way, you can entrust the matter of winning prizes to Long Toutou, and let Long Toutou handle it. How much money you spend will be deducted from the box office."

Zhang Weiping is not stupid, "What if the money spent on winning the prize is too much, which is higher than the box office!"

Then you won't be able to earn anything.

"Oh, you're worried about this. Then, I'll buy out the film, and whether it's for prizes or distribution, it has nothing to do with you. That'll be fine."

Zhang Weiping thought the same way, "Okay, for 20 million U.S. dollars, all the overseas copyrights will be yours!"

Wang Quan, "Two million dollars, if you agree, you can get the money tomorrow."

"Two million dollars, you are sending me away to beg for food, do you know how much I spent on making this movie!"

"I know, I heard Director Zhang Yimou say that if you discount the number you brag by half and then half again, you will definitely make a profit with these 2 million."

"He's a movie maker who knows shit about costs. I don't need money for marketing. I definitely don't agree with $2 million."

This price is not easy to negotiate over the phone, but it can be seen from Zhang Weiping's attitude that he still hopes to release the film as soon as possible. He just wants money.

Later, Wang Quan will ask people from the company to talk to him. The reason why Wang Quan is willing to take over this business is mainly because he feels regretful. Because the two broke up, the movie "The Original Spacetime" basically has no overseas box office or awards. state.

Although this movie is not as good as Zhang Yimou's works at his peak, it can also be called his best work after the new millennium. In addition, he followed Wang Quan's suggestion and did not add any passionate scenes, making this movie far less than the original version. Awkward, much more comfortable.

As he commented to Zhang Wei, it is necessary to promote this kind of movies abroad. There are many virgins abroad. Let them see more of the crimes of the little devils, which will help increase their good impression of China and their dislike of neon. This kind of thing is Accumulated bit by bit, we have fallen far behind.

In addition, he also has some selfish motives, that is, he hopes to win as many honors and award ceremony appearances for Ni Ni as possible. Maybe this debut film will be the closest she gets to becoming a movie queen.

Anyway, even if you lose money on this kind of thing, you won't lose much, and maybe you can still make money. After all, the protagonist has been changed from Bale to Heath Ledger. Although they are both very good actors, Heath Ledger has more star power. Well, the box office appeal is definitely far above that of Bale.

After participating in the Directors Association Award, Wang Quan and Liu Yifei returned to Yang Mi's house. However, because their daughter was at home, even though it was a little late, Wang Quan and Liu Yifei finally returned home and slept with Xiao Yu'er in their arms.

However, Wang Quan still felt that it was a bit unsatisfying. Although Sissi compromised and joined him and Mimi, the interaction was still a little less. After all, she was still a young person with a thin skin.

So the next day, after Wang Quan made an appointment with Pang Bing, he made another phone call, "Hey, Sister Bing Bing, I haven't left for Yunnan yet..."

Yang Mi met with the staff of Netflix today at the company to discuss the filming of "My Love from the Star". The other party is only responsible for investment and overseas promotion, and Mi Shi is also responsible for the filming. However, because it is to create an Asian drama, in addition to For the heroine and the hero, Netflix hopes to use an actor from Neon or Kimchi Country.

Then she was rejected by Yang Mi. The second male and female roles can be left to Japanese and Korean actors. The male lead still has to be Chinese. For no other reason, at least it will be easier to communicate when filming the opposite role. In addition, the screenwriter can also use kimchi. China, they are better at concocting trendy dramas.

Yang Mi is very strong, and this project must be pushed forward. Wang Quan has already written the outline of the script. His works have never failed even in the outline. They are all hits. Even Americans have to be convinced by this. .

So in the end, according to what Yang Mi said, when the time comes, the warm-hearted male lead and the vicious female lead will be selected from popular Japanese and Korean actors, and I believe they will not refuse.

Just a few days ago, with the broadcast of "House of Cards", Netflix's bottomed stock price finally began to rebound, and lost users began to renew their subscriptions, and there will be a larger production of "Game of Thrones" later. Wait, the market begins to be optimistic about the Netflix model again.

Even though Netflix’s brand is not that strong now, even Japanese and Korean idols are lying on their backs if the banner of royal power is raised.

In addition to the representatives of Netflix, Dorothy's cousin Hussein also came. Chen Chuling was responsible for receiving him. As for Wang Quan, he was experiencing the joy of being a director at this time and had no time.

Hussein came here mainly to contact the local government and build a theme amusement park. With the dragon raising his head + the king's way, he can still compete with Universal Hard Steel.

Universal Studios signed a letter of intent with Beijing a few years ago, but it has not yet been implemented.

Every inch of land in the capital is at a premium, and there are only a few places suitable for an amusement park, so it’s better to start early.

It's just that it involves such a large amount of land and there are policy inclinations, so it is definitely not something that can be negotiated in a short time. Hussein came here to explore the way.

On the first day, Chen Chuling took him to the land that Wang Quan had previously favored. On the second day, Wang Quan had time to accompany him to several government offices.

As the most important cultural business card of China, Wang Quan can be regarded as the emperor's favorite, giving him face in all aspects.

Coupled with my uncle's unfathomable official connections, the journey has been relatively smooth.

Hussein inspected it for three days, and Wang Quan stayed with him for two days. In addition to working, he also took him to visit an escape room store in Beijing. Nowadays, escape rooms are popular in China, but they seem to be a bit outdated in the United States. This is also the case for Hussein. The reason for being so positive about theme parks.

After that, they also enjoyed Chinese delicacies. As for Douzhier, a Beijing specialty that Yang Mi loves, forget it. It can easily cast a shadow on foreign friends. Hussein can't even accept preserved eggs.

Wang Quan wanted to say, of course you can’t accept it if you eat it dry. We Chinese people won’t eat preserved eggs directly. The most important thing about that thing is the sauce!

During the time when King Quan was with Hussein, people returning from vacation were still enthusiastic about the movie.

Although there are many cinemas in China now, there are still many counties without cinemas, most towns and cities, and almost none in rural areas.

Moreover, there is a huge population in towns and rural areas. These people can only stay in their hometowns during the Chinese New Year. However, after the Chinese New Year, a large number of people will return to the city for work or study, which can also drive a part of the box office.

So on the first day after the holiday, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Rich Second Generation" still reached 80 million, bringing the total box office to 800 million. Fan Bingbing called Director Quan invincible!

As mentioned before, because Spielberg released "War Horse" at the end of last year, the title of King Power's global film and television box office changed hands and was replaced by Lao Si again.

And with the box office of "Rich Second Generation" reaching 800 million and US$125 million, Wang Quan once again surpassed Lao Si and became the man with the highest box office in the world!

This news has also cheered up the foreign box office. As countries where chaebols and oligarchs are prevalent, Kimchi Country and Goose Country have great resonance with the theme of the rich second generation. After being released, they both received good responses. There were also rumors on the Internet in Simplified Chinese and Chinese Both countries intend to adapt.

Although the final box office is definitely not as good as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", they both won the single-day box office championship and are expected to win the weekly championship.

You must know that these two are among the top ten largest markets in the world. It is not like Singapore and Malaysia. It can win the weekly crown in these two countries. In these two markets alone, it can win tens of millions of dollars. Overseas box office.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, "Rich Second Generation" received another 70 million box office, bringing the total box office to 900 million!

However, the box office dropped to 60 million on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and the total box office failed to exceed 1 billion.

But on the tenth day of the lunar month, before the day was over, at five o'clock in the afternoon, the total box office of "Rich Second Generation" reached 1 billion!

Ten days, one billion!

This is the fastest movie to reach one billion in the mainland film market!

It is the sixth billion-level movie born in the Mainland!

It is the second Chinese-language film to gross over 1 billion!

It is King Power’s fourth billion-dollar movie in the Mainland!

There are a total of six movies with a domestic revenue of one billion, and Wang Quan alone owns four of them!

Guaranteed, holy shit, it’s timed out!
