You don't understand the happiness of the director

"Click!" Wang Quan shouted, and the filming of "Cold Front" in Mumbai was completed, which lasted 55 days.

King Power sent flowers to thank Aamir Khan for completing the final scene.

Shah Rukh Khan makes a big star cameo.

Salman Khan guest-starred as a translator.

Aamir Khan plays a homeless man.

Everyone's shooting basically ended within an hour, but Aamir Khan was also a director, so he came a few days in advance to learn from Wang Quan.

Aamir Khan admires Wang Quan's skillful industrial shooting techniques, and Wang Quan also admires his courage in trying to change the country through movies. His exploration of realistic themes makes Wang Quan ashamed.

In just a few days, the two became good friends, and Wang Quan also gave some suggestions to Aamir Khan's new film "P.K."

In Wang Quan's view, this movie is no less than his "Three Idiots" and "Dangal". It is an excellent movie discussing religion and has strong practical significance for India, a multi-religious country.

Wang Quan only brought a few main actors with him on the plane back to China this time. The other cast and crew members can take a short vacation and continue to play Leng Feng in the capital three days later.

Before getting on the plane, Wang Quan and Dorothy made a phone call, and once again saw the three-month-old Alex, well, he was still the quiet and beautiful man.

Wang Quan's throat rumbled as he looked at Dorothy's exposed breasts.

"Is the baby still eating enough?" he asked.

"Of course!" Dorothy puffed out her chest proudly, "Not only is it enough to eat, it's more than enough."

"What should I do if there are too many?"

"Isn't there also little K?" Dorothy giggled, "Little K is also growing."

Alice used to help share the burden, but now that Alice and Gadot have come to Mumbai, little K can only take over.

Wang Quan told Dorothy, "I will go to Los Angeles after I finish my work here."

"Well, it's time for you to come and sign the director contract for "Star Wars" when the time comes." Dorothy said. The script has been finalized. According to the sequence, it is the seventh part of Star Wars, named "The Originals". "Power Awakening".

Once Wang Quan signs the contract, he can start preliminary preparations and publicity work, and then the stock price will rise a lot.

After many years, King Power has returned to Hollywood, and it is a project that attracts everyone's attention like Star Wars, which can really raise the expectations.

"Okay, you can choose the actors first."

Dorothy said excitedly, "I don't know if this wave can surpass Disney in market value."

"It's ambitious enough. Marvel is also very impressive now."

"It's still not majestic enough for us. Last year, we ranked first in the North American box office!"

After experiencing a trough in 2011, Long Toutian finally surpassed the six major Hollywood movies again and ranked first with a total North American box office of US$2.21 billion, 400 million higher than the second place Sony Columbia!

In 2012, Dragon Head North America produced "The Hunger Games" with a box office level of 400 million US dollars, "Despicable Me 2" with a box office level of 300 million US dollars, and "Gravity" and "The King of Force 3" with a box office level of 200 million US dollars.

Among them, "Despicable Me 2" even exceeded the billion mark worldwide!

In addition, there are more than 100 million movies in North America such as "The Fault in Our Stars", "The Fault in Our Stars", "Magic Mike", "Escape from Tehran" and "Shooting Over America", all of which have basically made a profit.

No wonder Dorothy is so arrogant now. Long Toutou is the undoubted local box office king. It also owns Netflix and Lucasfilm, and is preparing to develop theme parks, making up for its previous shortcomings with giant companies.

When the company was founded, her ambition to beat Disney and step on Fox is being realized step by step.

And King Quan's royal approach is not bad either. It has improved significantly in 2012 compared with 2011, and has received more than 4.1 billion in box office in the mainland.

In addition to "Rich Second Generation", which broke the box office record in film history, "Manslaughter", "The Witch" and "Beijing No. 81" are also blockbusters.

He looked at the annual box office data released by Maoyan. In 2012, the mainland box office reached 21.2 billion!

Local films account for 60% of the box office, and Wang Dao's works account for 20%. In other words, one-third of the box office of Chinese films is contributed by Wang Dao's works!

The total box office in mainland China in 2012 increased by 26% compared with 2011!

This growth rate is lower than the 31% in 2010-2011, not to mention the 47% in 2009-2010 and the 85% in 2008-2009.

In addition to the reason that the total box office data is getting higher and higher, the base number is getting larger, and the growth rate is naturally smaller, there is also the reason that the movie viewing potential has not been fully released.

With a box office of 21.2 billion, the number of moviegoers is only 600 million. As a country with a population of 1.3 billion, the average number of moviegoers in the country is less than 0.5 times.

In developed countries such as the United States and Kimchi, the average number of moviegoers per capita has reached 4 times per year.

Even India, a developing country, has 2.5.

Therefore, Wang Quan is looking forward to this Spring Festival release, hoping to attract another wave of new viewers and make them develop the habit of going to the cinema to spend money.

For the same movie, let alone a blockbuster with special effects, even if it is a comedy, the laughter produced by watching it in a cinema is far greater than watching it alone on a TV or computer.

Atmosphere is very important, so the rating of "Rich Second Generation" was further reduced after it became available online.

I heard that eight movies have been scheduled for the Spring Festival. Whether you like comedy, romance, action movies, or cartoons, there is always one that suits you.

After the plane landed in the capital, Wang Quan and the staff separated, and Jia Duo and Xiao Yu'er were picked up by Lao Wang.

Mei Yanqiu is still taking care of her grandson in Los Angeles, and her granddaughter will be left to Lao Wang.

Alice still likes her grandpa very much. There are always good things in his courtyard that surprise her. When she came here last year, she even got a grasshopper cage.

Lao Wang teased his granddaughter for a while, then suddenly thought of something, and took out a wedding invitation from his arms, "Lao Mouzi's daughter is getting married, and you just come back, let's go together."

"Okay, it just so happens that Meng Danqing and I also know each other." Lao Mouzi's foreign son-in-law is an agent in Hollywood, but now he should be preparing to live with Zhang Mo in China. I wonder if he will change jobs.

After having dinner at Lao Wang's house, Wang Quan and Gadot's family of three returned to their home, a large flat.

Just in the evening, the Oscar shortlist was announced. Wang Quan took a look and was pleasantly surprised to find that "Mountain Runner" was nominated for the best foreign language film!

As for the projects Long Toutou was shortlisted for, there was no need to worry about them, they were basically within his expectations.

He quickly called Liu Yifei to announce the good news, "You'd better go to the Oscars then. As a popular singer of the year in North America, you should also have good exposure at the Oscars."

"Are you going then?" she asked.

"I can't say for sure, but I should have been in Los Angeles at that time."

"Hmm~"

Then Wang Quan asked, "What are you busy with recently? Are you promoting movies?"

"No, I'm reading the script. Did you promise to make a cameo tomorrow?"

"Is it "Super Body"?" Wang Quan remembered that Mr. Xu's new film "Super Body" had a guest appearance by a witch.

"Oh, that one has to wait until next month," Liu Yifei said. "It's a guest appearance in an Internet comedy short drama called "Dose Man". Have you heard of it? The first season was aired last year and it was quite popular. Oh, By the way, Mimi, Sun Li and Brother Teng all made guest appearances."

I must have heard of this. Wang Quan was surprised, "How did the shed find you? Is it Lao Wang?"

"No, he and Liu Yan are good friends. Liu Yan and I are also friends. Liu Yan recommended "Diaosi Men" to me. I thought it was very interesting. Then she asked me if I wanted to make a cameo. I thought it was quite fun. , just said that if there is an interesting script, I will play it, and then the studio sent me all the scripts for the second season, letting me shoot whichever one I like."

"You still have the honors."

Liu Yifei: "But Sister Xiaoli didn't recommend me to film it. She said the drama was too vulgar."

Wang Quan: That’s because you haven’t watched the later seasons. Comparatively speaking, the first two seasons are quite watery.

"Sister Xiaoli can control you now~"

"I can't control it, so I will go take pictures tomorrow." Liu Yifei smiled and then fell silent.

She missed King Quan. They hadn't done each other for a long, long time. It had been four months since they broke up. This period of time was too difficult.

It's not like Wang Quan, he just eats the wild flowers outside occasionally, but these are the only domestic flowers that he never tires of eating.

However, it is not suitable for them to meet each other in their current relationship. If they are photographed, all their efforts will be wasted. Will they get back together or not?

Don't get back together, people have already photographed you, get back together, Mimi is still waiting to take over.

"It's better to find a public place to meet, and then find an opportunity to meet again," Wang Quan suggested, "Oh, by the way, did Director Yimou invite you to his daughter's wedding?"

"I'm invited, and I'm the bridesmaid."

"Hey, are you giving me face like this?"

Liu Yifei: "I had a very good relationship with Zhang Mo when we were filming "Return"."

The movie "Qian Xuesen" was eventually renamed "Return", which has nothing to do with the original "Return" adapted from Yan Geling's novel "Lu Jing Yan Shi" by Lao Mouzi.

However, these two words are appropriately used in this movie. The whole movie is about the causes and consequences of Qian Lao's return and the difficult process.

Wang Quan also agreed to this name change. After all, the film did not capture Mr. Qian's great achievements after returning to the country. It is not a complete biography, but a part.

The next day, the entertainment pages began to cover the news about Oscar nominations.

The first is that "Mountain Runner" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Originally, the mainland was planning to send Chen Kaige's "Search", but Wang Quan blocked it, and "Mountain Runner" is also very popular in North America. No, it was actually shortlisted.

It has been 10 years since "Hero" for a Chinese-language film to be shortlisted for the Olympics. Historically, Chinese-language films have been shortlisted six times. Zhang Yimou was shortlisted three times, Li Ping was shortlisted twice and won once, and Chen Kaige was shortlisted once. Originally, The prize is within easy reach, but the result is not sure.

With the current blind pursuit of Oscars by Chinese people, Liu Yifei's name has once again become synonymous with "bringing glory to the country", while director Xue Xiaolu has been completely ignored.

Her starlight began to truly compete with Sidan Shuangbing, and she was considered a superstar on the same level. Yang Mi was once again left behind by her.

However, Liu Yifei's fanatic fans feel that since "Fox Crying" topped the Billboard, Si Dan Shuang Bing is no longer worthy of being compared with my family. We are three-dimensional superstars in film, television, music and music.

Where there is powder there is black.

At this time, there will definitely be some discordant voices such as "bring glory to the United States", but they will soon be drowned out.

Secondly, the discussion about the Oscars focused on the fact that "Shooting Through America" ​​was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, etc. 12 nominations on the line!

Director Dong Mu is getting stronger and stronger, and has been praised by the media for making another masterpiece after "Million Dollar Baby". He may even be able to win the best picture and best director as easily as "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby" did. go home.

This movie is adapted from the Chinese-language masterpiece "Let the Bullets Fly". The nomination list directly caused the score of "Let the Bullets Fly" to rise to 8.9 on Douban. However, there has not been a 9-point Chinese film since "Infernal Affairs". God did it.

Domestic audiences are now expecting this movie to be as high as the Spring Festival release, but Wang Dao plans to wait for the Oscars before releasing it on a large scale outside of North America. The bet is whether it can win the grand prize and how many awards it can win.

The wedding of Zhang Mo and Meng Danqing was held in the Pangu Sky Courtyard. This was the first time for Wang Quan to come to this mysterious place, so it felt like that was all.

Most of the people present were Zhang Yimou's connections, and many old classmates from the class of 1978 came, including director Kai Ge.

Several relatives from Meng Danqing's hometown in Switzerland also came. Although they are foreigners, they also know Zhang Yimou. A director who can direct the opening ceremony of an Olympic Games must be the most powerful director in his country.

As for Zhang Mo's relatives, it was his biological mother who came, but not his stepmother and three younger brothers and sisters. Although they were not poaching each other, they would still feel awkward.

Lao Mouzi was in high spirits during happy events. His daughter got married and the movie was finished. He felt that the filming was pretty good. He happily had a drink with Lao Wang.

It feels like Lao Wang wants to poach his son, and Qiankun also wants a great director.

But it doesn’t matter. Wang Quan and Zhang Yimou signed a contract for the first part. After the filming of the second part is completed, if there is a suitable project, they can continue to cooperate. If there is no suitable one, it will not affect him if he wants to cooperate with other companies.

At this moment, Wang Quan was chatting with the bride and groom, and learned that Meng Danqing was now working as a manager at IMAX China Branch just to be with Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo doesn't plan to live abroad anymore. The last domestic violence man reminded her that she can truly be protected in her own country.

Now that she has been with her father for so many years, she plans to direct a project independently.

She first studied architecture, and later entered New York University to study directing on Li Bian's recommendation. Wang Quan directly invited her to join Wang Dao's Stars and Sea project.

What can I say about Zhang Mo’s directorial talent? She has it, but not much. It is incomparable to her father. Wang Quan has seen her subsequent works, and they are basically 6-7 points. But after all, she is young, and domestic female directors do not count. There are so many, she can even get ranked.

While chatting, Wang Quan looked at the bridesmaid team.

Zhang Mo's character was pretty good. The bridal outfit he prepared for himself was rich and graceful, but the bridesmaid's outfits arranged by the bridesmaid were also quite stunning, not conventional at all.

In addition, the bridesmaids were already actresses in the entertainment industry, and they even compared her to the bride.

This made Liu Yifei a little embarrassed, feeling that everyone was looking at her.

In addition to Liu Yifei, there were two other bridesmaids, both of whom were old friends of Wang Quan. One was Ni Ni, the heroine of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", and the other was Zhang Ziyi, who recently made a comeback with "The Grandmaster".

The two bridesmaids are both Mou girls. Zhang Ziyi is more concerned about the face of her mentor. Without Zhang Yimou, she would not be where she is today.

Ni Ni's relationship was more due to her friendship with Zhang Mo. The two had a particularly good relationship on the set of "Thirteen Hairpins".

Speaking of which, Liu Yifei can be regarded as a girl hunter, but she became famous first, so the mark in this aspect is not obvious.

As for another Mou girl Zhou Dongyu, because she chose Zhang Weiping's side when the two broke up, her relationship with Zhang Yimou was not that close after that.

Now Zhou Dongyu also regrets it. Who would have thought that after Director Zhang left Mr. Zhang, he would meet Director Quan again, and his career would take off further. Without Director Zhang, Mr. Zhang is now a waste. She has already begun to look for another way out. .

Wang Quan winked at Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei shook her head, no, she is the bridesmaid and cannot be without one.

After the wedding ceremony was over, Wang Quan gave her another wink.

Liu Yifei still shook her head, she was about to throw the hydrangea, I want to catch it!

Okay, this is really important to her.

Before throwing the hydrangea, Liu Yifei had already agreed with Zhang Mo and asked her to throw it in her direction.

Zhang Mo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Liu Yifei has a new love and is planning to get married soon?

Yes, that must be the case. During this time, the director was Lin Zhiling and Fan Bingbing. Anyone would have collapsed. She must be trying to heal the pain in her heart with a new relationship.

But Zhang Mo refused. She was a fan of Wang Quan and Liu Yifei. She felt that it would be too uncomfortable for such a good-looking couple to be together and have a child.

So when the unmarried man and woman stood behind her, she deliberately threw them in the opposite direction of Liu Yifei.

Zhang Ziyi has been in a daze, and she is still thinking about how to strike up a conversation with Director Quan. If she can strike up a relationship with him, her stardom will be smooth whether at home or in Hollywood.

Just as she was stunned, a flower ball fell into her arms. She instinctively caught it, which caused the whole audience to roar.

According to wedding tradition, the person who receives the bridal bouquet will be the next to get married.

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Ziyi enviously, and then she walked silently to Sa Beining, who was blushing.

Today, Zhang Ziyi came to the scene with her boyfriend and helped Sa Beining take on the job of being the wedding officiant, but it must have been free labor.

Liu Yifei said directly to Sa Beining, "Teacher Sa, I wish you and Teacher Zhang will get married soon and have a son soon."

Sa Beining, who is not tall but full of talent, said sheepishly, "Oh, thank you, Concubine Yi. I appreciate your good words and we will work hard, haha..."

Liu Yifei: You must work hard. The sooner you get married, the sooner I will get married.

Taking advantage of the bustling scene, Liu Yifei came to the room Wang Quan had reserved in advance in this courtyard hotel.

Because there is no media today, Wang Quan does not have to worry about being photographed. It is difficult for paparazzi to come to such a place.

After not sleeping for several months, I felt that Sissi looked even better, especially when she was wearing a bridesmaid dress similar to a wedding dress. Wang Quan couldn't help but fantasize about the scene when they got married, which was a lot of fun.

The next day, Yang Mi found out that Wang Quan and Liu Yifei had done something bad at Zhang Yimou's daughter's wedding. She was so angry that she said, "You're bullying me because I'm not familiar with Zhang Yimou, right?"

Wang Quan said with a smile: "How about I accompany you today."

"No need, I'm in Kimchi Country."

"Why did you go there?"

"Inspecting variety shows, I decided to test the waters with "I Am a Singer" for the copyrights you have. I specially brought some talents in variety shows to learn and communicate." At the same time, Yang Mi also gave herself annual leave in advance, and she spent the next two A movie with a starring role will be released during the Spring Festival, so I will be very busy.

This time she even brought her parents with her.

By the end of January, the box office of "007: Skyfall" had exceeded 400 million, while "The Grandmaster" had also reached 250 million.

Although 250 million is not proportional to Wang Jiawei's ten years of hard work, it is already his best box office performance in the mainland, and he can also recover part of the copyright of his movies sold overseas.

Among Chinese directors, the most highly regarded art master in Europe and the United States is Wong Kar-wai. His film style and shooting techniques have inspired many young directors.

In addition to these two leading blockbusters in January, there is also the Wachowski sisters' science fiction film "Cloud Atlas" in which Zhou Xun stars. Because it is a bit difficult to understand, the box office stopped at 150 million.

Then there are some small productions worth tens of millions.

At this time, the Spring Festival is less than half a month away, and eight Spring Festival movies have also started pre-sale, and the film-breaking war has officially begun!

The number of Spring Festival shows started from 10,000, and gradually increased to 30,000, 50,000, and finally reached an astonishing 100,000!

This is also the first time that the mainland film market has screened 10,000 movies on the same day!

It can be said that basically all movie theaters are open on this day, and the movie schedules are so full that they can't wait to show one movie after another without taking a break.

At this point, there is basically no room for film arrangement.

It has to be said that Zhou Xingchi's lineup is still large enough. In addition, he is backed by Qiankun and China Film Group, and he also has his own theater, so he has received the most films, with a film placement rate as high as 26%!

Followed by Wangdao's "The Richest Man in Xihong City". Although Shen Tong is a newcomer in the film industry, and although the two directors have only filmed dramas before, after all, Liu Yifei is the heroine. After all, Shen Tong has already gained good national popularity through the Spring Festival Gala. .

Of course, there is also the support of Jiahe Cinemas, so "Tomato Rich" received 22.8% of the film schedule!

Then there is "Crazy Nian Beast".

Galloping Pony's distribution capabilities are incomparable to those of the Big Six, and this time it can be said to be a tough battle in which all efforts are accomplished in one battle.

The male protagonist is also sad, and the female protagonist is Yang Mi, who is comparable to Liu Yifei, but the director Ning Hao is much better than "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

In addition, Galloping Horse spent a terrifying amount of publicity and distribution costs, and finally got 21.2% of the film schedule.

The film schedule share of these three movies is already as high as 70%!

Only 30% of the schedule is left for the other five movies...

Guaranteed
