You don't understand the happiness of the director

"Wow, she's so cute. What's her name?" Yang Mi asked, looking at Deng Sun Li's infant daughter.

When Wang Quan and Yang Mi came for a pregnancy check-up, they met Deng Chao again and learned that Sun Li had successfully given birth to a daughter two days ago. With such a good relationship between them, Wang Quan and Yang Mi naturally wanted to come over and take a look.

Deng Chao's son immediately raised his little hand: "My sister's name is Xiaohua, I picked her!"

Yang Mi pinched her little face and said, "You are capable and have achieved good results."

After that, Yang Mi asked Sun Li some questions about pregnancy. Although she had asked Gadot about these issues many times, she always felt that there were differences in physiques between China and foreign countries. Gadot’s experience was not equally useful to her, but Sun Li was still the same. Reliable.

On the way home, Yang Mi said, "How about we ask Alice and Alex to apply for proposals when choosing a nickname for our baby?"

"I hope their proposal can be more normal." Wang Quan laughed and placed his palm gently on Mimi's belly.

Three months have passed, and Yang Mi is hesitating whether to open the door to her husband. These days, Wang Quan can only go out to eat game, and he has to do it secretly. She is derelict in her duties as a wife.

Moreover, she wants it too~

As a result, Wang Quan said that there was something wrong with the company that night, and Yang Mi disappeared before she could weigh the pros and cons.

The confidante working the night shift tonight is Zhang Jingchu. She will fly to Los Angeles to go to school tomorrow.

In fact, Wang Quan was about to leave, and he even invited her to fly with him, but she was afraid of what others would say. After all, this man was married and a director, so she could just sleep with him and be seen flying together. It's time for gossip again.

After an in-depth exchange with Zhang Jingchu, Wang Quan received a call from Liu Yifei who was far away in the United States.

She was going to tell Wang Quan, "I've got the role in "Don't Tell Her"!"

"This role was originally yours, why are you so excited?"

Zhang Jingchu was busy and eavesdropping.

"Because the director didn't approve of me at first, but I conquered her with my strength!"

Wang Ziyi felt that Liu Yifei was too good-looking, which did not match the realistic style of the film depicting ordinary people's families, and the Mandarin accent did not look like that of a girl who had lived in the United States since she was a child.

In fact, Liu Yifei started preparing for this role during the Spring Festival and restored contact with many of her classmates in the United States.

Most of these classmates are Chinese Americans who have lived in the United States since childhood, and none of them can understand Mandarin.

Liu Yifei used them as objects of observation and learned their accents and outfits. When she appeared in front of Wang Ziyi for the second time, the director almost didn't recognize her.

Although she still looks good without makeup, her feeling of decadence and optimism shows that she has studied the script very deeply. Her whole state is no longer that of a star-studded Chinese star, as if she has been thrown into the world. It won't be found in the pile.

And Liu Yifei promised that if the director needs it, she can put on some makeup to make herself look ugly.

Coupled with Li Xian's persuasion, Liu Yifei can greatly increase the hope that this project can recover the cost or even make a profit.

The heroine was finally confirmed, and filming is expected to start in March. She will film scenes in New York first, and then return to the Northeast.

After finishing filming "Don't Tell Her", Liu Yifei will also film "Zhu Xian".

Next up is a project with Scarlett Johansson.

In short, in the past three years, she has to fill her schedule with work. If she really doesn't have a job, she will help Mimi Duoduo and the others take care of their children. When she has a child in the future, she will have three years of experience in raising children.

Wang Quan was sincerely happy for Sissi, "If you shoot well, maybe you will be able to become a powerful actress again."

Zhang Jingchu is also happy. If she works hard, she will definitely become one of the top female directors in China.

"Well, don't come to me during this period. I want to completely immerse myself in the role." Liu Yifei said.

In fact, Liu Yifei hid something from Wang Quan. In addition to the efforts she just mentioned to impress the director, she also promised the director to gain 20 pounds to make herself look more like an older unmarried ordinary young woman with no job and no successful career. .

Li Xian even felt that Wang Ziyi was a little too much. You are just a rookie who became a director for the first time. How can you talk to our boss lady!

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei actually agreed.

This means that not only did she gain 20 pounds in a month before starting filming, but she also had to lose 20 pounds in a month after filming was completed to make herself fit the fairy image of Lu Xueqi in "Zhu Xian" .

So during the period when she gained weight, she was determined not to let Wang Quan see her. She wanted to maintain a perfect image in the heart of her lover and would never allow herself weighing more than 100 pounds to appear in front of him!

After bidding farewell to Zhang Jingchu, Wang Quan is about to leave. After the Lantern Festival + Valentine's Day, he will take Xiao Yu'er back to Los Angeles.

This year, the Lantern Festival coincided with Valentine's Day. Before dark, Wang Quan simply asked Mimi out to watch a movie.

Yang Mi teased, "You should watch it with your lover. I'm the one being married by a matchmaker."

Then Wang Quan took out his cell phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Let me see which lover is free today~"

Yang Mi quickly confiscated his phone, "I will be your lover today, let's go!"

Spring Festival movies have dominated the mainland for half a month, and there are finally new movies today.

However, whether it's "Who Said We Can't Love", "Crossing the Line", or "The Cabin in the Woods", they all have little fighting power. The one that is truly tailor-made for this period has to be "Left Ear" produced by Wang Dao 》.

This novel by Rao Xueman had a great influence on the hearts of former boys and girls. It was handed over to Zhang Mo, the daughter of Zhang Yimou, and co-produced by Zhang Yimou and Yu Feihong. After a nationwide audition, the low-key China Southern Airlines school belle Chen Duling was invited to be the heroine. , it can be considered a gimmick.

So when Wang Quan and Yang Mi walked into the cinema, the movie's box office on the first day had already exceeded 100 million. Many tickets had been bought out in advance, and hotel rooms near the cinema had also been booked early.

However, the demand for movie viewing surged on Valentine's Day. Not only "Left Ear" benefited, but also old movies such as "Leng Feng" also experienced a collective rejuvenation. "Leng Feng" was even more robust, beating "Left Ear" to once again win the single-day box office championship.

Also today, the box office of "Leng Feng" officially exceeded the 1.8 billion mark after surpassing "The Adventures of Li Xianji"!

After watching the movie and returning home, Wang Quan had to send out the posters he had prepared long ago to congratulate himself for surpassing himself.

It’s boring, but I still hope to receive congratulatory posters from other directors one day.

This "Left Ear" is only a little over six minutes long, but it's not as sweet as I imagined, and it has a bit of youthful pain.

After "Youth", there have been many such movies. If you choose the right time, the box office will not be small. This is a type that is urgently needed by those audiences.

Wang Quan and Yang Mi had a heated discussion on the road. She thought it could be rated more than seven points. It seems that the female power is about to become a mother and she still does not change her girlish nature. This kind of film suits her appetite. It seems that the box office will not be too bad.

After returning home, Wang Quan first sent out the posters he had prepared in advance.

As expected, the comments section was filled with people having fun making memes.

Jiao Shangke: Starting from "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it's time for Director Quan to congratulate himself once a year~

Crazy Watcher: Can other directors work harder? It feels like half of Director Quan’s thoughts are spent on painting posters, so let him save some time!

Winter without snow: Director Quan: I will come again next year!

newpi123: I hope to see Director Quan congratulating other directors next time. I am optimistic about "One Step Away" directed by Jiang Wen.

After reading the comments for a while, Wang Quan went to check the box office situation that day. The total box office has returned to the level of 400 million. Valentine's Day is still very strong.

Among them, "Leng Feng" and "Zuo Er" both exceeded 100 million, with "Zuo Er" earning 120 million on the first day and directly recouping the money.

This makes Hua Yi heartbroken. If he had known that a film of the quality of "The Left Ear" could earn so much on Valentine's Day, why would "Strategy of the Ex" bother to go to the Spring Festival release? It has not even exceeded 100 million yet.

However, there was no hope of breaking the 100 million mark in "Ex's Strategy" before. Later, after the incident between Wang Quan and Liu Yifei, netizens' curiosity was aroused. Now it seems that breaking the 100 million mark is no longer a problem. Tian Yusheng should give Wang Quan a thumbs up.

In addition, "Havoc in Heaven" took advantage of today's good momentum and successfully exceeded 800 million.

However, the single-day box office is now lower than that of "I'm Not Wang Mao". Due to the reputation, it seems that it is almost impossible to reach 1 billion.

Han Sanping doesn't care about this anymore. He will quit in a few days. At that time, he and three old men, Wang Qiankun and Huang Jianxin, will set up a film company that specializes in recommending non-Hollywood approved films and take a differentiated competition route.

He had already thought of a name, and he decided to call it "The Three Stooges."

This is the retirement life he planned for himself. In addition, he has also arranged for his daughter Han Jia'v to be sent to Wangdao's screenwriting department for training. Maybe she can also embark on the path of directing in the future. That place is quite training.

Moreover, his daughter is also average-looking. She is a daughter of Han Jia, but not a Han Jiaren, so Old Han feels relieved when she is next to Wang Quan.

Han Jia Nu:......

As soon as Wang Quan put down his cell phone, he turned around and saw Yang Mi wearing very light and fabric-saving pajamas.

"Mimi, what are you doing?"

Yang Mi hugged Wang Quan's neck from behind and said in a friendly manner: "You are leaving tomorrow~"

Wang Quan understood, but was a little hesitant, "Is this okay?"

"Be gentle."

Wang Quan thought for a while: "Let's just do this, I won't move and you move, so that I don't get hurt."

Yang Mi: "Then you lie down, they are about to move~"

The next day.

Wang Quan and Mimi came to Wangdao Building with a bit of hesitation. He first sent Mimi to the power world and then went upstairs.

Here he saw a new Nortel girl signed by Power World, named Meng Ziyi. She looked nothing like Naza. I can only say that her style was similar.

Wang Quan came to the company this time to meet the crew of "The Left Ear" and celebrate their success before flying to the United States.

"Congratulations, Director Zhang, the tiger father has no dog daughter." Wang Quan shook hands with Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo said modestly: "It's all the result of the collaborative work of various departments in the company. Thank you, Director Quan, for giving me this opportunity."

Afterwards, Zhang Mo began to introduce several young actors in the movie to Wang Quan.

"This is Chen Duling, we all call her Dudu."

When he saw the heroine Chen Duling, the assistant Xiaotian behind Wang Quan immediately heard the radar.

At the beginning, Chen Duling's famous name on the Internet was "the most beautiful school beauty". If you are the most beautiful school beauty, then I, the milk tea girl, are nothing.

Xiaotian feels that she is more mature than Chen Duling now that she has stepped out of campus, and is already in line with society. Unlike Chen Duling, who still looks like a little girl, who is still timid and her ears are red when she sees Wang Quan.

The boss seemed to have gotten to know her a little bit, and even discussed the topic of aerospace with her, which is Dudu’s professional field.

Wang Quan also asked her, "Will you continue to act?"

Chen Duling shook his head: "I won't even consider it before graduation."

If "The Left Ear" wasn't her favorite novel, and teacher Rao Xueman personally advised her, she probably wouldn't have agreed. Although the main subject was filmed during the summer vacation, it also delayed a lot of classes.

Wang Quan nodded in agreement and greeted the hero again.

We have met the leading actor Wang Quan for a long time, Han Dongjun, who previously starred in "The Hunger Games 1".

The young man has good muscles, so Hesong Media signed him and asked him to keep working out, with the intention of replacing Peng Yuyan's ecological niche.

For some reason, Li Bingbing just didn't like Peng Yuyan, and everyone was obviously unfamiliar with it.

The second female lead is Ma Chun, the niece of Wen Li. She made a book model for Rao Xueman, so they became friends. She is still very thin now.

The second male lead, Yang Yang, and the third male lead, Bai Yu, are both actors in the idol drama "A Little Smile Is Alluring", which was just aired a few days ago.

The popularity has surpassed "Parental Love" and is more popular than "Shanshan Is Here".

Two young actors, Yang Yang and Nazha, have successfully risen to the top. Among actresses born in the 1990s, Nazha is probably not as good as Shuangzi.

And "The Left Ear" was a hit at the box office on the first day. To a certain extent, Yang Yang, the second male lead, plays a greater role.

The young man looks quite young and shy now, not greasy.

"I heard that you are the star of the military art school," Wang Quan asked with a smile, and before he could deny it modestly, he added, "I know a military art school star named Shen Tong."

Yang Yang opened his mouth slightly in surprise. No matter what, he could not link Wang Duoyu with the military arts school idol. If he was the military arts school idol, then he himself should not be the school idol.

After that, Wang Quan started to draw a pie with several young people, "The next few years will be the years when the film and television industry will take off. Young actors with acting skills and box office appeal are very scarce. You must seize the opportunity, otherwise the opportunity will be It’s up to others. Whether we can be on the front line or not, we may be able to tell in the next few years. Come on, everyone, I’ll take the first step.”

Wang Quan is telling the truth. Li Weiran's new film has confirmed Nazha as the heroine, but he has been struggling to find a leading actor with box office appeal who can attract audiences immediately during the Spring Festival.

Each of the four big and small students are too busy to touch the ground, and they are the only ones who can compete with the Hong Kong superstar.

After leaving the royal road, Wang Quan was blocked by Lao Wang on the stairs and went to his office to sit for a while.

"Three cobblers have already registered, occupying 432 shares, Lao Han is the fourth, Lao Huang is the second, and I am the third, with Lao Han taking the lead."

"Hey, this is only nine, and there is still 10% left?" Wang Quan asked with a smile, "Is it prepared for me?"

Wang Qiankun: "What you are thinking about is beauty. We are going to have a relationship with China Film Group. Whoever sits in the position of China Film Group responsible for introducing and approving films will own this achievement."

Wang Quan sighed: "It's because I don't understand the national conditions."

Lao Wang didn't take the Three Stooges too seriously. How much profit could he get from approving the film? What he cared about was his own world.

Qiankun's stock price seems to have come to an end. "I'm Not Wang Mao" was a hit at the box office, but it had little stimulation for Qiankun, and it has been hovering around 40 billion.

Although he has become the first domestic entertainment company, surpassing Huayi, his expectations are obviously higher.

Wang Quan: "Maybe the box office is not high enough. If it exceeds 1 billion, there should be some reaction."

Now the box office of "I'm Not Wang Mao" has exceeded 500 million. Although it is not as good as the 600 million of "Where Are We Going, Dad", it will definitely surpass it in the end. It is estimated that it can break 700 million, but there is still a long way to go before it is a billion-dollar hit.

"Yes, "Wang Mao" is already the best work of our company this year. The others are either low-cost or jointly produced. I also hope that Qiankun can make blockbusters, just like those series of special effects blockbusters of yours!"

This is actually very difficult. There are not enough directors. It is not easy to train a qualified industrial blockbuster director.

If it were not for the directors trained by Wang Quan himself through "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Li Xianji", as well as a large number of behind-the-scenes elites, just let these domestic directors directly make special effects blockbusters, it would be a disaster, and they would not know how to spend their money. The final effect left the audience with one word: money laundering.

Wang Quan explained the difficulty here, and said, "The director in our company who can make blockbuster movies is Yang Qing who has schedule now. You can discuss and make some big moves, but I want to remind you that in the next two years, , the special effects blockbusters from various companies are crowded together, and the audience will easily get visual fatigue, and the box office may not be so optimistic by then."

Lao Wang still had Wang Quan to remind him, but no one reminded him of the Huayi brothers. After the unsatisfactory performance of "The Predecessor", they were even more eager to invest in blockbusters, with high investment and high returns like "Cold Front", and then start with a lot of stimulation Shrinking stock prices.

It's just that the company doesn't have the conditions right now. Feng Xiaogang wants to act now and won't direct for the time being. Chen Guofu resigned and went solo. Wu Ershan was also abducted by Wanda. Feng Delun's skills are so poor that he didn't even dare to promote the third part of "Tai Chi".

Huayi, who had no usable talent, could only follow other capital and participated in the investment of "Flower of the Sea" led by LeTV, "The Kingdom of Mysteries" led by Wanda, and Dasheng International's "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon" and other series. Big movie, make a little money.

Later, Wang Zhonglei was well-informed and said, "I heard that Jeff Robinoff's new company, Studio 8, is raising funds. How about we take the Hollywood route?"

Jeff Robinoff is the former president of Warner Bros. Pictures and is well-connected in Hollywood. Wang Zhongjun asked, "Do they want funds from China?"

"China's money is not money. Didn't AMC just sell it to Wanda? I think we can give it a try, but it won't be cheap. It's estimated to cost one to two hundred million dollars."

Wang Zhongjun pondered: "Well, I'll think about it."

Across the Pacific, Wang Quan returned to Los Angeles with his two assistants, Xiao Ai and Xiao Tian. As soon as he got off the plane, Liu Yifei told him, "I have arrived in New York."

"Ah, isn't it going to be launched next month?"

Liu Yifei looked at the electronic scale at her feet that had already exceeded 100, "Well, I'm going to experience life in New York in advance. I've been away from here for so many years and it's all unfamiliar to me."

"Okay, remember to go to their homes in New York and take a look at Mimi and Gadot's outfits."

"I know, bye~"

Then Wang Quan and Alice stared at each other and prepared to go to Dorothy's house for dinner.

Gadot did not come back with them. "The Hobbit 2" will be released in China soon. She has to participate in promotional activities and will leave a few days later.

With Gadot, who is extremely popular in China, Warner's studio is very ambitious for the film's performance in the mainland. It is aiming for 100 million US dollars. Whether the film can break 1 billion globally depends on the support of the mainland market.

After Wang Quan handed Xiao Yuer over to his housekeeper Lucy, he started busy with the post-production work of "The Force Awakens". It will be released at the end of the year, so he has plenty of time. He also plans to make a movie in the meantime.

On the 16th, the closing ceremony of the 64th Berlin International Film Festival was held.

Because of the excellent performance of Chinese-language films at this film festival, related topics have become popular on Weibo.

Diao Yinan, a director with a background in Chinese opera, won the Berlin Golden Bear for Best Film for "Fireworks in the Day".

Surprisingly, even though they had already won the highest award, the leading actor of this film, Liao Fan, also won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor.

The three major European companies adhere to the principle of dividing the pork, and it is relatively rare to win a big prize and a small prize.

In addition, Lou Ye's new work "Massage" won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution. This award was given to photographer Zeng Jian, who is the husband of actor Mei Ting.

The Chinese-language film received three bears at once, including the Golden Bear, which made the Chinese-language film industry and movie fans very excited.

That night in Berlin, at the Chinese-language film celebration banquet held by the Film Bureau, "Massage" star Huang Xuan kept a faint smile and returned empty-handed. After all, he was a little disappointed.

At this time, one of this year's judges, Tony Leung Chaowei, came over with a wine glass in his hand. After the awards judging was over, he was able to interact openly with Chinese filmmakers.

He clinked glasses with Huang Xuan, "You performed very well, really. In fact, you were a strong contender for the Best Actor title until the end. Unfortunately, James liked Liao Fan's wild nature too much."

James Shames is the chairman of this year's jury. He is Li's old partner. He has been Li's producer since "Pushing Hands" and has always liked Chinese movies.

This year, Chinese-language films were able to win Three Bears, and both he and Tony Leung contributed a lot.

After listening to Liang Chaowei's words, Huang Xuan felt much better. Although he was still a young actor with no awards and no reputation, at least he proved that he was actually pretty good, but his luck was a bit bad as always.

When he was filming "The Night with the Spring Breeze" directed by Lou Ye, he had a lot of roles, but all of them were cut when the film was finished.

There is also "The Golden Armor". I participated in the auditions and won the championship all the way. Lao Mouzi said that he had to play the role of the little prince. In the end, Zhang Weiping won Jay Chou's contract because the two of them The two princes were too close in age, so Huang Xuan was replaced by a younger Qin Junjie.

There are actually many such examples, not just Huang Xuan, many actors have experienced it. Before the work is broadcast, you can't tell whether the role is yours.

Huang Xuan often struggled with this and felt that he was unlucky, so that he had the temperament of a wronged person.

But at this moment, after drinking a glass of wine and enjoying the breeze outdoors in Berlin in February, Huang Xuan felt relieved. In fact, he was already very lucky, wasn't he.

Although the scenes of "Spring Breeze Night" were cut, director Lou Ye cast himself in "Massage" and almost won the Berlin Best Actor. Moreover, he was not yet thirty years old. As a very good dance student A professional actor, he is already much luckier than his peers.

Just as Huang Xuan was reconciling with himself, he suddenly received a call from his agent.

"Hey, Brother Xuan, can you go back to China as soon as possible."

"What's wrong? Is there an emergency?"

"Well, it's quite urgent. Director Xu Ke asked you to come over and audition."

"Director Xu Ke?" Huang Xuan suddenly thought, "What scene are you trying for? "Zhu Xian"?"

"right!"

Huang Xuan immediately sobered up and said, "Okay, I'll book the tickets and go back to China right away!"

Then he asked again: "Is there any hope?"

After all, this is a movie jointly produced by Liu Yifei and Yang Mi. The last male lead of Xianmi, Chen Xiao, has been successfully promoted, and he has risen directly from a newcomer to the front line. Although he also participated in "To Youth", he only played the second male role. many.

What's more, this time there is Xu Ke, the huge fame of the original work, and unprecedented large investment in the country. Male actors of the right age across the country are eyeing this piece of cake!

The agent said: "Let me tell you secretly, Shiba Culture has acquired Qianyi Times. From now on, we will be a family. I think there is still great hope."

After hearing this, Huang Xuan's heart calmed down again. Everyone in the industry knows that behind the Shiba Culture is the Wang family and his son, so Wangdao, Qiankun, and Mi Shi all like to use actors from the Shiba Culture, such as Chen Xiao and Gu Lina Zha, Xiao Yang, Wang Qianyuan, etc.

Now that I am my own person, I have more hope.

~

Domestic, Beijing.

Old Monster Xu looked at the information of those actors with a headache. In addition to Huang Xuan, he also sent out several invitations to actors between 85 and 95. Basically, even if they have other work arrangements, they will agree immediately. Come down.

To be honest, if you can play the leading role in "Zhu Xian", you can turn down any other job. It's easy to distinguish which one is more important.

In fact, some big names he didn't invite took the initiative to ask him. For example, Nicholas Tse, who was busy working as a chef recently, also asked Huo Wenxi to ask Zhang Xiaofan about the selection of the role, and even said some friendship prices.

Xu Ke refused directly. Zhang Xiaofan Zhang Xiaofan, as you can tell from the name, this male protagonist cannot be too handsome. Of course, he cannot not be handsome either. It’s just that popular handsome guys like Nicholas Tse cannot be used.

Including Peng Guanying, the popular youngster in the power generation, he also wanted to play Zhang Xiaofan, and asked Yang Mi to bring him over to show him, and then Xu Ke gave him the opportunity to play Lin Jingyu.

Even Lin Jingyu, the second male lead, has a number of competitors.

Now Xu Ke is choosing roles, scouting locations, and setting up scenes in the studio. He is a three-pronged approach. He has to race against time, and he also has to race against Yang Mi's belly.

Baguio is a "witch girl", so it's best to show off her waist. For this one, that's fine, but she can't have a big belly. He still doesn't want to use special effects in this aspect unless necessary.

Three days have passed since Valentine's Day. On the 17th, the box office of "Leng Feng" exceeded 2 billion, becoming the first 2 billion-level film in the history of mainland movies!

At the same time, the number of moviegoers reached 48 million+, exceeding the 45 million moviegoer record of "Rich Second Generation" two years ago. What "Li Xianji" failed to do, "Leng Feng" did.

In the end, the number of viewers of "Leng Feng" should not be less than 50 million, attracting many new viewers who have never been to a cinema, and expanding the market, which can be said to be a blessing.

Moreover, among the top ten mainland films in history, Wang Quan exclusively holds six seats, and they are still in the top six!

Although it was an unprecedented achievement to exclusively occupy the top five before, this time it still shocked netizens greatly.

Even some people who didn’t care about the movie were touched and asked online: When can they watch it online? Not sure about the previous version.

When "Leng Feng" achieved a success of 2 billion, the box office of "Bear Bears" also exceeded 200 million and set a record for Chinese animated films. No one paid attention to this fact.

Xiong Daxiong Er Bald Qiang: Humph, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully the young Xiong!

~

Wang Quan hasn't paid much attention to the domestic situation recently. Yang Mi told him to break 2 billion, which is not surprising. Obviously, 2 billion cannot stop this trend.

Moreover, as the market expands, it’s time for a 2 billion movie to appear. Even if I don’t have myself this year, there will be “Monster Hunt” next year.

Two days later, Gadot told Wang Quan, "I am ready to go back, and the consecutive record of "Cold Front" was broken by "The Hobbit 2"."

"Cold Front" has been the single-day box office champion for 21 consecutive days, but "The Hobbit 2" is also gaining momentum, with 60 million on its first day, far exceeding the first film.

"Okay, come back soon. Alice misses you too. Where are you now? I heard a woman's voice next to me."

"Ah, it's Sister Zong. I was a guest at her home in Hangzhou, and I also met her richest father," Jadot said with a smile, "a very simple old man."

Wang Quan said "Oh" and asked Gadot to say hello, but this year's richest man should be another "dad". In the past two years, Alibaba has gained momentum.

Although "Leng Feng"'s domestic domestic crown was ended, in North America, "Leng Feng", released today, won the single-day box office championship with 23 million U.S. dollars, bringing a bit of excitement to North America during the slow period.

Later, with a first-week opening result of $61 million, it took over the top-week position of "The Lego Movie" by Long Toutou. It is also King Quan's best-performing Chinese-language film so far.

After Gadot came back, she became the main force in promoting "Cold Front". There was no way, Wu Jing was filming "Wolf Warrior" and couldn't get out.

In addition, Huang Xiaoming also came over. He is no longer the "too busy" Xiao Ming and speaks English quite proficiently.

Although Wu Jing didn't come, he did attract a lot of fans with the role of Leng Feng. Even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson said he wanted to have a try with Leng Feng after watching it.

Looking at the popularity abroad, I guess when "Wolf Warrior" is released abroad, it would be better to change it to a name like "The Prequel" to gain popularity. After all, foreign promotion is difficult, and it would be a pity to abandon such popularity.

Zhen Zidan was envious after watching it. Who would have thought that a Chinese film would turn Wu Jing, a former little brother, into a world action star. He must have reached the pinnacle of his life now.

Entering March, the North American box office of "Leng Feng", which was released for two weeks, easily exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars, faster than the previous "Li Xian Ji" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Action movies are indeed an ever-lasting genre.

At the same time, the film also began to be released in other markets besides China, Japan, South Korea and the United States, and the global box office continued to rise.

However, Wang Quan did not invest much energy in publicity. He only made an appearance at the Oscars throughout March and worked the rest of the time.

During this period, I also thought about going to New York to visit Sissy in the class, but she refused to let her go, saying that people's words are scary. When I asked Li Xian, she also said that everything was normal, but it was best not to visit the class. "The concubine is very into the show now and is in very good condition. You It’s better not to disturb her.”

The royal power had to give up.

On March 2nd, the 86th Academy Awards were held at the Dolby Theater. The host was still Ellen from The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Wang Quan walked onto the red carpet holding Ni Ni's arm.

Ni Ni has attracted much attention, and her style is very popular with foreigners.

As for the leading actor Chen Kun, he walked the red carpet with Anne Hathaway.

Both of them are new faces from China, and it is easier not to be ignored when paired with an old Oscar-winning face.

After Wang Quan sat down, he greeted old friends such as Charlize Theron, Lily Collins, Naomi Watts, and Emma Watson.

Although "The Adventures of Li Xianji" was nominated for Best Picture, it was surprisingly not nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

In addition, the shortlisted awards include technical awards for best photography, best editing, best visual effects, best sound editing, and best sound effects, which represent the progress of the Chinese film industry.

In the end, he did not return empty-handed, successfully winning two statuettes for Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Effects.

Two behind-the-scenes staff who came entirely from the Mainland came to the stage with some excitement, received the trophy from Charlize Theron, and each delivered their own acceptance speeches.

I thought it would be over, but I didn’t expect to win Best Cinematography again later. Song Xiaofei became the second photographer after Bao Dexi to win the Oscar for Best Photography.

Wang Quan can almost imagine how high his salary will skyrocket after tonight, but he will still flock to it.

The three statuettes are the final result of "Li Xian Ji", and the subsequent grand prizes will not be matched by it.

The Best Actor winner was Matthew McConaughey for "Dallas Buyers Club."

The best actress is Cate Blanchett of "Blue Jasmine".

The best director award went to Li Yin's "Life of Pi" from Erfeng.

The best picture was "12 Years a Slave", which tells the story of black slaves. Oscar's political correctness began to take shape.

After the Oscar dinner, Wang Quan took Ni Ni back home.

During this period, Wang Quan received a congratulatory call from Han Sanping.

First of all, congratulations to "Li Xian Ji" for winning the award.

Then congratulations to "Leng Feng" for its box office success.

Finally, congratulations on your official retirement.

An era of Chinese-language films belonging to Han Sanping is over.

After the Oscars, the ownership of the awards has still become a hot topic among film lovers at home and abroad.

In China, even though "Pi" is a production of King Quan, even if Li Yi is the director selected by King Quan, because Li Yi won two Oscars for Best Director, this has become a spiritual victory for some Li Yi fans over King Quan. reason.

No matter how powerful your kingship is, you can only be the best director.

They also believe that "Pi" is a model of the perfect combination of art and commerce. In this regard, "Li Xianji" is too kitsch and too commercial.

"Director Wang Quan is still too young~" said supporters of Director Li Yin.

As a result, the authoritative British film magazine "Sight and Sound" and the French "Cahiers du Cinema" soon provided ammunition to the supporters of the royal power.

Two authoritative magazines have released their respective top ten works of 2013.

"The Adventures of Li Xianji", which has been ridiculed for being too commercial, are all on the list. In addition, Jia Zhangke's "Destined" and the Palme d'Or winner "Adele's Life" are also on both lists.

In addition, among Asian filmmakers, Hong Sang-soo's "Sowon" produced by NEW Company was also listed in the annual top ten of "Cinéma Cahiers".

And "Life of Pi" has no name on either list.

So the supporters of the royal power started another round of counterattack, and the opponents were unable to resist.

Later, the Hollywood media "Deadline" announced the 2013 global annual box office list. The world's first round of "Pi" has been released. In the end, "Li Xianji" has a global box office of 618 million U.S. dollars, ranking tenth, and "Pi" has a global box office of 605 million U.S. dollars. , the box office was slightly inferior.

Moreover, the cost of "Pi" is more than twice that of "Li Xian Ji". Wang Quan's fans are even more crazy, but all the opponents can say is: Director Li Yin has won numerous awards, and his artistic achievements are not comparable to Wang Quan's!

This is indeed Wang Quan's flaw. He has never shown his strength in the three major European teams, and fans are always made to make a fuss about it.

It seems that if Wang Quan can be tougher when fighting to brag for die-hard fans, he should have won a Golden Bear, Golden Lion or something earlier. We don't even dare to think about the Palme d'Or. After all, Li Yi doesn't have that stuff.

Wang Quan has always been relatively indifferent to awards, especially under the small jury system. The awarding of awards depends on the preferences of a few people. This thing depends too much on luck.

Or the box office accumulated one dollar at a time is more affordable and can cause him more emotional fluctuations.

"Li Xianji" successfully entered the top ten global annual box office. This is the first time for a Chinese-language film, which means that Chinese-language films can finally stand on the world stage and show their charm.

This is just the beginning. From now on, any Chinese-language film in the world's top ten, let's just say "Leng Feng", will definitely have a place in the top ten in 2014.

The box office in the Mainland has already exceeded 300 million dollars, and it seems that it can reach around 200 million dollars in North America.

Moreover, this film also performed well in Japan and South Korea. "Strange Girl" starring Lin Yoon-ah hit tens of millions of moviegoers, but was overtaken by "Cold Front" to take the top spot of the week. It has now held the title for two weeks.

In Neon, "Cold Front" also ended the box office dominance of Miura Haruma's "Eternal 0".

There are also many markets in Europe, Asia, Latin America and so on.

When the mainland market gets bigger in the future, Wang Quan feels that he can hit a total box office of 1 billion US dollars!

Seeing that "Cold Front" was so popular in North America, Bong Joon-ho's "Snowpiercer" started promoting it in North America.

This movie was released in Kimchi Country last year and attracted tens of millions of viewers. Lee Meijing is confident that she will create a Korean version of King David.

"Snowpiercer", like "Cold Front", both feature local actors paired with Hollywood superstars.

"Cold Frontier" has Gal Gadot, and "Snowpiercer" has Captain America and the Ancient One.

But objective difficulties do exist. The North American publisher of "Snowpiercer" is either a large company or a small company founded by Li Meijing himself.

So even if there is a star cast like Chris Evans, it can only be screened on a small scale at the beginning and then expanded.

It started with 8 halls, then moved to more than 100 halls, then to 250 halls, and finally to 360 halls. Because the attendance rate was too low, it was returned by the market.

Later, the screening scale of "Snowpiercer" began to shrink and remained at more than 100 theaters. It was mainly supported by Koreans, fans of Team USA, and science fiction enthusiasts.

After more than a month of hard work, "Snowpiercer" only made more than 4 million U.S. dollars at the North American box office.

If this was a purely Korean film, this achievement would be unprecedented, because without Cheng Long and Li Lienjie in Kimchi, Korean films have never been a hit in North America.

But the salary of Captain America is not low. 4 million dollars is not enough for his salary, so it can only be said that it was a huge failure.

However, Li Meijing did not admit defeat. As the deposed princess of Samsung, she has perseverance.

Bong Joon-ho is already the most capable director in Kimchi Country, so she is still actively working to give Bong Joon-ho a second chance to try.

At the end of March, Wang Quan's work was no longer so heavy for the time being. He secretly went to New York to see Sissi, but it turned out that she had already returned to the Northeast.

The filming of "Don't Tell Her" went smoothly and is expected to be completed in April.

Wang Quan could only turn back regretfully. During this period, he had a phone call with Nazha, and after hanging up the phone, he quickly called Li Weiran.

"The Legend of the Shark Pearl is about to be released soon?"

Li Weiran named his Kyushu trilogy "Legend of Shark Pearl", "Legend of Zhuri" and "Legend of Yuyi", corresponding to the Shark Clan, Kuafu and Yu Clan respectively.

Li Weiran responded, "Well, it officially starts tomorrow, and I want to rush into the Spring Festival period."

"The preparation time for such a large project is less than two months. Is it reliable?"

"Director Quan, we have done a lot of work before the proposal, and I think we are well prepared."

"Then send me the script for a look."

"OK."

On the plane back to Los Angeles, Wang Quan read the script of "The Legend of the Shark Pearl". It was okay, an eight-point score. If the final film received a seven-point score, it would be considered a success, but a six-point score would be barely acceptable.

After all, making a movie is a matter of subtraction. Most of the scripts are well thought out at the beginning, but due to various difficulties in the process, one is vague and the other is just okay, and the final product is naturally terrible.

Li Weiran's script is up to standard, and the cast is definitely one of the best for the Spring Festival.

As for the Spring Festival release, the audience must want to watch the director or starring role as soon as they see it.

So as long as it can catch up with the 2015 Spring Festival, "Legend of the Shark Pearl" may really be successful.

Time entered April. Because Yang Mi was pregnant, Wang Quan refused to let her fly and kept her in the capital. So thinking too hard, Wang Quan decided to go back to the country to see the two of them.

As soon as they landed, Wang Quan saw the news about Wen Zhang and Yao Di being photographed kissing from today's headlines.

"Wen Zhang's cheating" immediately topped the list of hot searches.

Although the Four Boys are very popular, Wen Zhang's momentum is no worse than theirs. The only thing he is inferior to is that he has never acted in a King Power movie, but based on his relationship with Lao Wang.

Wang Quan is my brother, and if I want to act, it’s just a matter of one sentence.

So Wen Zhang always told people around him that there are five of the four major and minor students, and the last one is me.

Wen Zhang's character is indeed very flamboyant. Even though he is being photographed now, he does not panic. When he followed his godfather's words, he had actually filed for divorce from Ma Yili.

It's just that they didn't separate after the divorce, but they still lived together because after the divorce, they discovered that Ma Yili had a baby.

So when Wen Zhang showed the divorce certificate, he felt that he was legally and morally defensible.

But when they saw the photo of Ma Yili with a big belly again, netizens still couldn't hide their anger.

"Wen Zhang, you are really not a human being!"

"Director Quan is not as bastard as you!"

"I think the problem lies with Master Kun's education~"

Wang Quan turned off his cell phone and thanked Wen Zhang for his reputation getting better.

And he also inspired himself. It seemed that it would be better for him to keep a low profile while Mimi was pregnant, so Sissi stopped going to see her.

Unexpectedly, Wang Quan hadn't seen Yang Mi at Power World Media, and he didn't know until he arrived that she had gone to film a movie.

"What drama?"

Meng Ziyi: "Zhu Xian."

"What, Zhu Xian also turned on his computer in advance?"

After Wang Quan left, Old Monster Xu kept staring at Yang Mi's belly, fearing that she would suddenly grow bigger.

When he realized that Yang Mi's belly could no longer be hidden, he immediately decided to turn on the camera in advance and finish filming the few minutes of Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio's scenes. The studio scene had already been set up anyway.

Shooting directly in the studio doesn't have to be too hard, it can be done in a few days, and then we can wait for Liu Yifei's schedule.

So Wang Quan ran to the studio again and saw Huang Xuan, who was hanging a wire and looking like a vengeful person, and Yang Mi, who was sitting on the ground with someone fanning her.

Yang Mi’s Baguio style is quite cute. She is about to become a mother, and she can still have such a smart temperament, which is not bad.

When Wang Quan came, no one paid attention to Huang Xuan, so he was forgotten by everyone and kept hanging on the roof.

Watch Wang Quan and Yang Mi chatting with each other, and watch Director Quan and Director Xu discuss the scenes and shooting methods.

An hour later, Xu Ke said angrily, "Where's Huang Xuan? It's not polite to ask him to come over and see Director Quan."

Hearing the director's angry voice, Huang Xuan above his head hurriedly said hello, "Director, director, I'm always here."

Xu Ke: "..."

In the next two days, Wang Quan accompanied Yang Mi to film. In fact, there were some action scenes, but there was a stand-in to complete them for her.

What Yang Mi talks about the most is, "When I wait for the second part, I will definitely wear the outfit that reveals my slim waist."

After Wang Quan left, Yang Mi's scene was completed within a few days. She even made a video call to Liu Yifei, but the call was rejected and turned into a voice message.

"What's going on? It's not convenient for you there?"

"Well, I'm taking a shower."

"Really or not, it couldn't be that my husband went to your side, right? Let me tell you, Wen Zhang has learned from the past, you two should keep a low profile recently."

"It's nothing. He didn't come. If you don't believe me, just ask him."

Yang Mi felt a little relieved, but soon she saw someone took a Reuters photo of "Don't Tell Her" on Toutiao today.

What's wrong with Liu Yifei?

Why is she swollen?

Yang Mi looked at the unprofessional Reuters photo, looked at Liu Yifei's bloated appearance, and then looked at herself at this moment.

"Oh my God, she doesn't have one too!"
