You don't understand the happiness of the director

"Follow my left and right hands in slow motion..."

The older of these three children was 15 years old and the younger was 14 years old. They were all still junior high school students. Yang Mi looked at them with a kind look in her eyes while stroking her belly.

She clicked her tongue and said in surprise: "I only found out after listening to Reba's introduction that the current boy band has become younger. These kids debuted last year and seem to be quite popular among middle-aged women. What a mom fan."

Wang Quan smiled and said, "I know them."

"Ah, you actually know them? Do you also care about the idol industry?"

Wang Quan shook his head: "Their company is in a mountain city. When I was filming "Li Xianji" before, the boss of this company recommended to me these three little boys to play Li Xianji, but they were useless because they were not the right age."

"Oh, that's it~"

After the three little boys finished singing their upcoming new song, they left the stage without saying a word.

After all, they are not popular enough yet and have not reached the top. They are just here to warm up and sing.

Following this youthful song, the theme of today's youth-themed movies is introduced, and then the real protagonists, the protagonist group of "The Year in a Hurry" appear.

Chen Xiao, Li Yi, Dilraba Dilraba, Dai Xu, Wei Chen.

Among them, Wei Chen is from Mango Channel and is familiar with Happy Family. Many of Li Di's dramas are also broadcast on Mango Channel. Chen Xiao and Reba have also been here to promote their works before, so it is the first time for the second male lead, Dai Xu. .

However, Kuaiben did not neglect him. The box office of "Big Shot" released last month exceeded 300 million. Mr. Zhao played by Dai Xu was quite out of the circle. He Jiong also joked, "I feel scared when I see him now, afraid that he will fight." people."

Xie Na: "Are you really prone to violence?"

Preface: "No, no, actually I am very introverted."

Each guest chatted for a few words, and then it was boring to play games.

In fact, Yang Mi really likes the game of who is the undercover, but there are too few people in the family. It would be nice to invite Xixi, Tangtang, Shishi, and Yaya to come over and play together.

Wang Quan didn't touch Mimi today for seven months. He carefully helped Mimi to sleep, and met Naza again the next day before flying back to Los Angeles.

In just one month, before the movie "Oldboy" was released, "Little Apple" quickly became popular all over the country. Wang Quan also asked them to post it on YouTube, and maybe it will become popular all over the world.

As the heroine of the MV, Nazha's popularity has reached a higher level. She captured the hearts of young men and women in "A Little Smile is Alluring", and now even middle-aged and elderly people have begun to recognize her.

"Hey, are you that little apple?"

"No, she is a mermaid~"

Naza specially brought back the costume from "The Legend of the Shark Pearl" today to cosplay with Wang Quan.

~

After Wang Quan landed in Los Angeles, he was still thinking about mermaids along the way. The fish tail was long, white and straight.

On the way home, he received the good news from Guo Fan that the box office of "The Year in a Hurry" exceeded 200 million in its first week. "I estimate it can be higher than Lao Yang's "Hot Pot Hero"."

Yang Qing's "Hot Pot Hero" was released in March. With Chen Kun's appeal, it received 519 million in box office during the off-season period. At the moment, he and Guo Pan were having breakfast together, so I compared him.

Yang Qing snorted: "Being better than me doesn't mean anything. If you are a director in a king's way, you will end up like an ant if you don't break one billion!"

Only when the box office exceeds one billion, the company will support them to start their own business, make a lot of money, and become a prince. And this standard is not fixed. It is one billion now. When one billion is worthless, it may need two billion in the future.

Just after eating, Yang Qing ran to Qiankun.

Because he had no ready-made script recently, he was pulled over by Mr. Wang to prepare a movie for Qiankun.

Mr. Wang is famous for his generosity. After filming Qiankun's "The Legend of Wukong", he will probably be able to change his flat floor to a villa.

When he arrived at Qiankun, Wang Qiankun's secretary stopped him and said, "Sorry, please wait outside. There are guests inside."

In Wang Qiankun's office, Lao Wang was twirling a bracelet in his hand with a serious expression.

The man in front of him knelt down directly in front of him and kowtowed.

"Master Kun, thank you for always fishing me out and helping me settle things. You, you are my reborn parents!"

Lao Wang closed his eyes helplessly, "Hai Bo, get up, get up!"

The last word "get up" was harsh, so Huang Haibo had to stand up and was locked up for a day and two nights. Coupled with the high level of mental stress and fear, he was unshaven and looked several years older. He was no longer a popular actor. style.

Seeing him stand up, Lao Wang sighed and said, "Can you listen to me if I tell you a few words?"

"I listen."

So Lao Wang said: "It stands to reason that in your line of work, you spend money to meet your needs, do not steal or rob, and do not harm the young girls in the same crew. This should be considered a kind person, but now your income is already in the hundreds." A thousand times more than ordinary people, the ordinary people have higher demands on you, and you should understand."

"I understand, it's my fault."

Wang Qiankun: "Of course it's your fault. If you have a girlfriend, is it difficult to keep your girlfriend with you? You have to do something like this."

Hai Bo lowered his head and listened to the admonishment, and Lao Wang added: "You don't need to thank me for this. You are lucky. The news of my daughter-in-law's pregnancy was revealed when your accident happened, and your affairs were suppressed. It will not spread, but the matter has come out, and it will inevitably become a stain on you for life. You must be prepared to take responsibility for this. First of all, don’t think about the movie version of "Let’s Get Married". The company Someone else will be chosen.”

Haibo nodded, feeling rather regretful that his hope of breaking into the film industry had come to nothing.

Although Huang Haibo is not a member of the Wangdao family, he has collaborated with Qiankun on two major dramas, "Eternal Number" and "Let's Get Married", especially "Let's Get Married", which has just been on the air for less than half a year, and is currently being planned We were preparing for the movie version, but we didn't expect that something like this would happen at this juncture, and someone would even catch him and stab him out.

However, this time Lao Wang helped him deal with the situation, and he was not sent to a forced labor camp for half a year. He paid a fine and was released in two days.

There were no rumors that the person who betrayed him was a transgender, and the damage to Huang Haibo's reputation had been minimized.

However, his behavior violated relevant laws and regulations after all, and was more serious than Wen Zhang's moral problem. Fortunately, Huang Haibo's media relations have always been good. Although there are reports, there are not many discussions.

Unlike Wen Zhang who makes enemies everywhere, even Lao Wang's face can't be protected if something goes wrong. He is stepped on everywhere and beaten up.

As for whether Huang Haibo can come back and continue filming, Lao Wang suggested, "You should try not to show up during this period of time. Leave everything to time."

After this incident, Huang Haibo will definitely be recorded by the YYDS risk assessment agency. Any company that wants to use him in the future will probably have to consider whether his current incident will become a scandal.

"Yes, yes, I came here just to say thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been imprisoned for long or how many crimes I would have suffered." Huang Haibo bowed again, and then left Lao Wang's office dejectedly. .

Yang Qing saw that the person inside was Huang Haibo, and nodded to him sympathetically. His story has been circulating in the circle recently, especially Li Weiran, who felt particularly sorry. This kind of thing is very common in the circle, how could he still do it? Caught?

Then Yang Qing entered the office and discussed with Lao Wang the investment amount, cast configuration, release schedule and other issues of "The Legend of Wukong".

Lao Wang wanted to continue developing the sequel to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" with Zhou Xingchi, but Zhou Xingchi was vague and seemed to have other ideas.

The copyright of this film is owned by Zhou Xingchi, and he has the right to change partners.

So Lao Wang simply bought the copyright of Jin Hezai's novel from Wang Dao and prepared to create a new Wukong story by himself.

It can be seen from the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", no matter how much the audience complains, this monkey can easily attract people into the cinema. He is China's eternal superhero. Biggest IP.

Lao Wang has high expectations for "The Legend of Wukong" and plans to invest 200 million. This investment is higher than "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". It is also Qiankun's largest investment project so far. There is no telling how many more projects will be involved by then. Partners share risks together.

After chatting with Yang Qing for most of the day, Lao Wang went downstairs to find Lao Han and called Lao Huang downstairs.

There are quite a few vacant offices in Wangdao Building, so a few of them were allocated to the Three Stooges Company.

Moreover, this company is about to start its first project. It turns out that in addition to "P.K." that Wang Quan mentioned before, Aamir Khan also has an action movie called "Phantom Driver 3" that has not yet been introduced.

Although half a year has passed, the movie is no longer fresh, and pirated copies have even been leaked online, but it was so cheap that I bought it for more than one million yuan.

Moreover, the other starring role of this movie is Abhishek Bachchan, the third male lead in "Cold Front". Now he is the most famous Indian actor in China after Aamir Khan, so they plan to try it with this movie. Water, exercise the team.

However, Lao Wang was not talking to them about this Indian movie this time, but to discuss the entry of Internet giants into the film and television industry.

Two days ago, Tencent announced the launch of the "Additional Wings to the Tiger" film plan at the Shanghai Film and Television Festival. This plan includes investment in six films including "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon: Snow Demon Spirit". Visual inspection shows that they are all large-scale productions.

In addition, they also hired director Wu Ershan Zhantai, who had just finished filming "The Kingdom of Mysteries", to plan a trilogy series about the gods.

Han Sanping waved his hand, "This is nothing new. They who are engaged in the Internet will dig wherever they can find profit. They won so much box office during the Spring Festival, and gained countless topics and scenery, and the momentum has been moving forward. They want to It’s not surprising that they want to get a share of the pie. During the Spring Festival, Mr. Li from Baidu secretly invested in a production company in Los Angeles and planned to invest $40 million to make a 3D animated film "Wukong"."

Hearing this, Lao Wang's heart skipped a beat. He was about to compete with his own live-action version of "The Legend of Wukong", and he couldn't afford to fall behind!

Han Sanping added: "Just like Hollywood film companies are controlled by Wall Street, in the end, whoever is rich can control the ideological discourse. The richest people in our country are these Internet upstarts. The two Mr. Ma are now worth They have all caught up with those engaged in real estate.”

Huang Jianxin, who was playing with his cell phone on the side, suddenly straightened up and said, "The other Mr. Ma also took action."

The three old men immediately gathered together and saw a piece of news that had just been published, "Wenhuahua Media announced that it was confirmed that Alibaba Group would spend HK$6.244 billion to acquire 60% of the company's equity and officially change its name to Alibaba Pictures."

Moreover, the previous Taobao Ticketing Service has been renamed Taopiaopiao, and has officially declared war on Maoyan and Hello. During the Spring Festival, it spent a lot of money to benefit the audience. This Alibaba is indeed making big moves in the film and television industry.

In addition, the news also reported that "this new company will be chaired by Alibaba Group Vice President Liu Chunning as president, Li Lienjie as independent non-executive director, and famous directors such as Wong Kar-wai, Chen Kexin, and Zhou Xingchi will join."

Lao Wang was immediately glaring. Chen Kexin and Zhou Xingchi are directors who have worked closely with Qiankun. "What an old horse, he poached people all over me!"

Others respect him as the richest man, but Lao Wang doesn't care about that. No matter how rich you are, you can be as rich as my son!

He knew that his son kept a low profile, and if that boy were to be high-profile, Li Jiacheng would probably not be the one.

Han Sanping tapped the table, "It's interesting. BAT has all entered the film and television industry. The annual turnover of one of these companies' games can exceed the total national box office. They are really big players. With so much money pouring in, I don't know what will happen in the future." What has it become?"

Huang Jianxin analyzed based on past experience: "First of all, they must be stripped off a layer of oil and water by the veterans in the film and television industry, and they must be given lessons first. If they want to rely on Internet thinking to make excellent movies, they must hone themselves again. Practicing.”

Indeed, this circle is quite closed. So what if coal bosses broke into the film and television industry with money in the past? In the end, it was nothing more than earning some fame and sleeping with some celebrities. In the end, the money was kept and the people left.

How can it be so easy to play around with?

Lao Wang returned to his office and wanted to talk to his son about this matter, but Manager Duan came over in a hurry and said, "Master Kun, something happened again!"

"What's wrong?" Lao Wang's eyelids twitched.

Manager Duan said softly: "The God of Wealth, the God of Wealth went in and he took a sip!"

The reason why Manager Duan is so panicked is because the second part of "Dragon Gate" is in preparation. The script has been written, the actors have been cast, and filming is about to start. Unexpectedly, something like this happened to the core of the team.

It would be fine if he was just a simple behind-the-scenes screenwriter, but he is still an Internet celebrity, appearing on shows, publishing books, guest-starring in movies and TV series, and managing his personal brand very hard.

Moreover, he is also the producer of "Dragon Escort" and is deeply bound to this IP.

The key point is that what he committed is much more serious than Wen Zhang and Huang Haibo. Although it is only an administrative penalty, because the beginning of our history of humiliation in China was the Yapi War, the state's control in this area is particularly strict, and the public opinion is louder. They are not on the same level. If you touch this kind of thing, it will be completely useless!

"God of Wealth, God of Wealth, you are so confused!" Lao Wang leaned back on his chair and sighed.

"Master Kun, do you want to fish him out first? And then suppress the public opinion?" Manager Duan asked.

Lao Wang waved his hand, tired, destroy it, "No matter what, I don't care about anything anymore, just do whatever you want. I haven't made a sequel to "Dragon Gate" yet, so I won't make it now. The little investment invested in the early stage I can still afford the loss."

Lao Wang is really helpless. Although there are not many good people in the entertainment industry, why have I encountered all these bad people?

Someone’s prostate is also a prostate!

After this happened, Lao Wang was too lazy to call his son and had no interest in discussing the Internet's invasion of the film and television industry.

One day later, Lao Wang had just recovered, when Lao Wang's eldest son knocked on the door of his office.

"Godfather, I..."

"Shut up!" Lao Wang was frightened, "You, have you committed a crime too?"

"I, no," Dang Sheng said tremblingly, recalling carefully for a long time, "really not!"

Lao Wang was still worried, "You are a married person. You and Liu Yan have nothing to do with each other?"

"Daddy, you misunderstood, didn't you? We are just best friends. She is very conceited and doesn't like me."

"Then Yoshizawa, Kawashima, and Hatano, you haven't touched these?" Lao Wang asked again.

I don’t know what I thought about the third season of “Dose Man” that just came out. It had some neon teachers, and the jokes were even more vulgar.

"Godfather, you have really wronged me. It was all requested by Boss Zhang. He said he was a fan of their movies, so he added them in. In fact, they are not my aesthetic taste. What I like is X- art.”

After Guangdang tried to persuade him, Lao Wang felt relieved and said, "I've experienced too many things during this period, so if it's okay, you can go back."

"Hey, okay." As soon as Danggang turned around, he suddenly realized what he was here for.

"Daddy, I'm here to give you a script!" The studio presented a brand new script that had been revised for a year.

The name is still "Pancake Man", but the content has nothing to do with the original version. Many of the vulgar and hard-to-tick jokes have been cut off. Wang Quan's suggestions have improved the overall script a lot.

Lao Wang looked at the script and clicked his tongue, "Not bad, not bad. You still have a lot of talent. If it can be filmed according to the script, you will be nominated for the Best New Director."

After hearing this, Dang Sheng chuckled, and then asked, "What about godfather, where is Master Xing..."

The other actors in this script are not a problem, only Zhou Xingchi, who showed a small face at the end, is a problem. Now he even refuses to appear in the movies he directed.

Lao Wang's face darkened again, that guy was not easy to deal with.

"Let me communicate again. It should be easier with this script. If it still doesn't work, go to Hollywood and invite Jim Carrey. If Chaplin hadn't passed away, it wouldn't be a problem for me to find him as a platform for you."

Maybe it's because the script is really touching, or maybe it's because Zhou Xingchi is preparing to cooperate with Ali and feels guilty towards Lao Wang. This time he agreed and showed his face, just a small one.

Just when Lao Wang was about to be happy, Zhou Xingchi also made a request, "But I also hope that Director Wang Quan can guest star in our new film "Mermaid". I wonder if Mr. Kun can help to make peace."

He said "we", indicating that he will still cooperate with Qiankun on the "Mermaid" project.

So Lao Wang took care of everything: "No problem, just sprinkle some water."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Wang pinched his teeth sadly, alas, he was impulsive.

~

Los Angeles, Wang Quan hehe, "Don't think about it, no way!"

He didn't want to laugh non-stop in short videos for the rest of his life.

Zhou Xingchi asked him to guest star in the role of Wen Zhang, who played another policeman.

In fact, being treated as a meme is a trivial matter. The key point is that he is not confident that he has the acting skills to take on such an important role. His previous cameos only had no lines at most. In the flash of the scene, Wen Zhang's character has a lot of lines.

When it comes to scumbags, Wen Zhang is not as good as himself in filming, but when it comes to acting, Wang Quan is far inferior to Wen Zhang. He is very outstanding among actors of his generation, and he plays opposite Jiang Wen, Ge You, and Wang Zhiwen. Can you not fall behind?

"Son, please help me with this. I'm also a guest star in your company's "Charlotte"," said Lao Wang, who played the role of a deaf old man in it.

Wang Quan: "You have the nerve to say that, you are a guest hero, this is your hobby, I don't like this."

"Then can you just watch this movie that you also participated in and leave regrets forever? Think about it, if the male protagonist in the final movie didn't meet the king of comedy Zhou Xingchi, would this movie be the same? It will always be incomplete and imperfect.”

Lao Wang still understands his son very well. What he can't bear the most is that there is a fatal flaw in a movie that should be excellent, and this flaw can obviously be avoided. He is a perfectionist.

Finally, under Lao Wang's constant temptation, Wang Quan finally relented and said, "I'll go to the crew and give it a try. If the show doesn't work, forget it."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine. It's good if you agree to make a cameo. I forgive him for not being so disrespectful." Lao Wang smiled with wrinkles all over his face.

Afterwards, he informed Zhou Xingchi and Dapeng respectively about the incident. Damn it, if the house behind Dapeng also collapsed, he would be so sorry for himself.

Next, Lao Wang began to pay attention to the release of "The Breakup Master", and he couldn't help but worry.

Deng Chao + Yang Mi, plus a group of very important guest stars, including Wu Jing, the current box office leader.

But can this really kill the Transformers?

June 27 is the date that was finally determined after consultation between the Qiankun Publishing Department and Deng Chao.

This schedule has been occupied by "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction" a long time ago, and it is basically released simultaneously with most markets around the world such as North America.

In other words, Deng Chao Yang Mi wants to go head-to-head with Transformers!

Oh, this Transformers movie also has Li Bingbing playing a very important role, and the crew is still filming in many places in China. The only regret is that the human protagonist is replaced, but it doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Those who watch this movie Who cares about humans?

The reason why he wanted to go head-to-head with Transformers was that Deng Chao felt that together with Yang Mi, he would be able to fight. Domestic audiences have very high expectations for Hong Shixian and Pinru to collaborate again.

And because of the fear of "Transformers 4", there are basically no new movies next week, so there is a half-month schedule vacuum.

Professionals predict that when two large-scale works appear on the market at the same time, they can detonate the summer season in advance, so that everyone can reap the dividends of the huge audience, thus achieving a win-win situation.

So Deng Chao decided to take advantage of the fire and fight to the death. Moreover, he was not fighting alone, he also had Mimi.

And Mimi is not fighting alone, she is also two people!

In order to promote "The Breakup Master", Yang Mi, who had been hiding for a long time, appeared publicly as a pregnant woman for the first time, and faced reporters' questions and admitted generously: "Obviously, yes, I am pregnant~"

At that time, the hot search lasted for two days, and everyone was discussing this matter, which also suppressed the popularity of Huang Haibo's incident.

If Mishi had not invested in this movie, she would not have wanted to pretend to be dedicated with her big belly. In order to gain some sympathy points, Yang Mi went to several road shows with Deng.

This time, Yang Mi's influence on the box office was obviously greater than that of Deng Chao. When Yang Mi revealed her pregnant belly for the first time, the pre-sale of the movie immediately soared, but there was still a big gap with "Transformers 4".

In the past two years, under the suppression of King Power and Kingly series, the box office performance of Hollywood movies has been mediocre. None of the Marvel movies, Mission: Impossible, or 007 have exceeded 1 billion.

But "Transformers 3" already exceeded 1 billion three years ago.

And this time it is said to be the last Transformers series. Although generally speaking of the last one is nonsense, there are still many die-hard fans who are willing to support it.

Not even die-hard fans of "Transformers", but fans of Hollywood movies are all united, determined to bring this Hollywood movie industry to a beautiful end.

Of course, Li Bingbing feels that his role is quite big. He is now the last one on the ice.

The filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 3" has been completed. Recently, she has been busy promoting "Transformers 4" in China and the United States. She took the time to make an appointment with Wang Quan.

After preliminary publicity, on Friday, June 27, under the spotlight, two new films were officially launched in the mainland market.

Among them, "Transformers 4" accounts for 52% of the scheduled films, while "The Breakup Master" has 40% of the scheduled films.

Other old movies such as "Edge of Tomorrow", "The Hunger Games 3 Part 1", "The Hangover 3" and "That Year in a Hurry" share the remaining 8%~

Even Wang Quan in Los Angeles is paying attention to this head-on confrontation between Chinese box office superstars and Hollywood industrial blockbusters. This has not existed in the past few years. Everyone's choice is to avoid each other's sharpness.

Even the few movies of King Quan have never faced off against top Hollywood blockbusters. Of course, the main reason is that they don't dare to challenge themselves, but in any case, Deng Chao is still very courageous, and it is an honor to lose.

It can also be seen from the film schedule that "The Breakup Master" is 50 minutes shorter than "Transformers 4", but the film schedule is still more than ten points behind the other film, which shows that the market is more optimistic about "Transformers 4".

Moreover, "Transformers 4" is a 3D movie, and the ticket price is nearly 10 yuan higher, so there is no question whether "The Breakup Master" can surpass "Transformers 4". At most, it is a discussion about whether "Transformers 4" can be better than "Transformers 4". How much box office did you get under pressure?

When the results came out on the first day, Wang Quan took a look at them immediately and found that they were not bad.

"Transformers 4" is indeed very powerful, with a box office of 184 million on the first day, which is higher than the original time and space.

Faced with such a behemoth, "The Breakup Master" also received a first-day box office of 105 million, which was three times more than The Original Time and Space!

It exceeded 100 million on the first day, which was considered a great success for a new director. This gave Deng Chao hope that the total box office would exceed 1 billion.

He put all his energy into running around to promote it. He ran three shows, and then he pulled Yang Mi out for one. As soon as she appeared, the topic started.

At the same time, two movies, one Chinese and one American, are bundled for marketing.

There are endless headlines such as "Yang Mi fights Optimus Prime, Deng Chao Yong fights Bumblebee, Wu Jing angrily kills Jing Potian", which to a certain extent can stimulate the consumption impulse of some Chinese people who love domestic products.

Wang Quan immediately called Mimi to congratulate her on her success and told her to take a rest.

"I know, Mishi is not the largest producer of "The Breakup Master". I will take it easy. If I had known it was so successful at the box office, I would have received dividends from the box office." Yang Mi was lying on the hotel with her stomach raised. I'm on a business trip to Magic City.

Even though Yang Mi's salary is not low, the cost of "The Breakup Master" is only 60 million, and she will earn at least two to three billion by then.

"I think the box office dividend system will become popular in China in the future. Whoever can resist the box office better will be able to take the initiative in bargaining power. You and Sissi are already such box office superstars."

"So we all get dividends in "Zhu Xian". By the way, have you ever videotaped with Sissy? I didn't expect that she would be even more beautiful after losing weight than before she gained weight," Yang Mi said sourly, "Slender waist and breasts I don’t know how she managed to have such a big butt.”

Wang Quan is really looking forward to it, "Not yet, I will go back completely next month, see you then, but no matter how old I am, I can't compare to you."

"That's natural," Yang Mi whispered, "I'm secretly telling you that I've been promoted to Cup again. Come back quickly and let me suffocate you to death~"

I am looking forward to this royal power even more, and I am working harder.

The next day, Saturday, the box office of the two movies reached a higher level, and the two movies' schedule accounted for almost 95%, and there was no other movie.

Among them, "Transformers 4" received a single-day box office of 228 million, breaking the single-day box office record of 215 million set by "Leng Feng" during the Spring Festival.

The media began to create a topic by using the fact that the box office record of "Leng Feng" in the film's history is about to be lost.

"The Breakup Master" also received 112 million at the box office that day.

It's just that the reputation of "The Breakup Master" is not very good. Although Deng Chao takes his work very seriously and is very generous, he is the least burdened by idols among the four major actors.

At the beginning of the movie, he attacked his wife Sun Li, and then attacked his friends Han Han, Wu Jing, Jin Xing, Yang Mi, and even more harshly on himself. This entertainment spirit moved Wang Quan a little.

However, film critics thought this comedy was a bit too crazy and too immoral.

I thought that due to the overwhelming negative reviews online, the momentum of "The Breakup Master" would come to an abrupt end, but it didn't. It also received 100 million at the box office on Sunday, which is clearly a trend of word-of-mouth movies.

Because "Transformers 4" also has a poor reputation and is rated as the worst in the series.

Although Douban opened the score, "Transformers 4" was a full point higher than "The Breakup Master".

But netizens have long concluded that Douban is too serious about worshiping foreigners, and foreign language films should lose one point to meet the quality score. Therefore, "Change 4" and "The Breakup" are both films of the same level, and no one should look down on the other.

As a result, two films with excellent reputations dominated the summer schedule for half a month. Only a small-budget horror film "Pen 3" was released in the middle, but it could not stop the box office of the two films from soaring.

The next time Wang Quan gets a call from Yang Mi, "Change 4" has already reached 1 billion, and "The Breakup Master" has reached 500 million. Everyone has a bright future.

It's already July. Yang Mi asked her husband when he would come back, "My baby misses you. If you don't believe me, just listen~"

She put the mobile phone on her belly and saw something bulging on her belly, as if she was practicing Tathagata Palms inside her belly.

Across the Pacific Ocean, Wang Quan could even hear a faint thump.

Listening to the noise caused by this little life, Wang Quan was moved and said: "Isn't the radiation from mobile phones not good for babies?"

"Ah!" Yang Mi immediately moved her phone away and looked at her rising and falling belly worriedly, "Humph, I won't let you hear it anymore."

Wang Quan said softly: "In another half month, we will almost be busy here."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Quan stepped forward and shook hands with Zhen Zidan. This was the filming location of "A Star Wars Story: Rogue One."

It's been filming for a while now, and this is Wang Quan's first time here, and this time he came mainly to watch Jiang Wen's first Star Wars scene.

Originally, Jiang Wen didn't want to take on this drama. He had never seen Star Wars, and it felt very childish. However, his children liked Star Wars too much, and his children also grew up receiving American education.

In the end, unable to resist his son's request, Jiang Wen reluctantly agreed, "Oh, I originally wanted to wait until Wang Quan asked me in person."

In the end, a little kid got him done.

Jiang Wen doesn't have too many scenes, and he mainly plays opposite Zhen Zidan. The two of them can be regarded as rekindling their relationship, Cao Mengde and Guan Yunchang.

Seeing Jiang Wen busy putting on makeup, Wang Quan chatted with the director. These spin-off movies have nothing to do with the sequel trilogy, so there is more room for free play, and there will be no sequels. The next spin-off will explore other materials.

Director Gareth Edwards doesn't have many works. He had a "Monster" in the early years, and the most recent one is the new version of "Godzilla" which just won 200 million US dollars in box office in North America.

Coincidentally, when "Godzilla" was released in North America, Zhen Zidan's "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" was also released in North American theaters, and the two films were released at the same time.

The film producers probably saw the success of "Leng Feng" in North America and thought that they were probably half as good as "Leng Feng", so they joined in.

As a result, because the issuing company had little strength, it was issued directly without rating.

Without a rating, it could not go to mainstream theaters, and could only be released on a small scale in Chinese theaters. In the end, it took in a box office of US$1.8 million, which was probably less than one percent of the box office of "Cold Feng" and "Godzilla". It was a grievance. The great sage.

At that time, public opinion in the United States was saying that only King David movies were enough for Chinese-language movies, and the rest were substandard products.

The North American box office of King Power's Chinese-language films is usually greater than the North American box office of all other Chinese-language films combined.

This statement is certainly good for King Quan's films and allows Wang's Chinese-language films to form a brand, but it is very detrimental to the entire Chinese-language film community. Zhen Zidan and Chow Yun-fat are not unknowns, but they just can't be sold.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" put Wang Quan's name as the producer to the maximum extent. Wang Quan took the initiative to record the program to promote it, but it only sold 90 million U.S. dollars.

It is also worth mentioning that the heroine of "Godzilla" is Elizabeth Olsen. King Quan simply invited the Scarlet Witch to be the heroine of "Rogue One", which can be regarded as fulfilling her Star Wars dream. , and filming this one will not affect her work at Marvel.

She was still winking at Wang Quan when he was chatting with the director.

Got it, got it, little beaker.

Afterwards, Wang Quan hugged Jiang Wen after putting on makeup, and chatted about "One Step Away". Wang Quan didn't invest in this film, and Jiang Wen was still a little bit upset.

At that time, his "Let the Bullets Fly" was in hot demand. How many people wanted to vote for his new film, and he reserved a share for Wang Quan, but he expressed no interest.

Humph, you will know how awesome this movie is when it is released at the end of the year.

But let’s not talk about that now, so everyone was chatting quite happily. Wang Quan said: “You really should do more acting. You are such a good actor. It’s a pity that I haven’t been able to see you for a few years.”

Jiang Wenhehe: "It sounds nice, but you didn't ask me to act."

Wang Quan hahaha: "Definitely next time."

Not only does Wang Quan not want to look for him, but many of his old friends, such as Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, have never looked for him to act again. So you should look for the reason within yourself.

After filming the afternoon scenes, Wang Quan specially invited two fellow actors to have dinner. During the dinner, he learned that Zhen Zidan had resigned from the next "Journey to the West".

It seemed that she was going to film "Three Strikes of the Bone Demon". Gong Li was so moved by "The Return of the Great Sage" in Cannes that she agreed to play the role of the Bone Demon as soon as they invited her.

As a result, Zhen Zidan stopped acting.

"Then who will replace you?"

"The Bull Demon King."

Jiang Wen: "Oh, Aaron Kwok."

Wang Quan: I didn’t expect Jiang Wen to have watched "Havoc in Heaven". You are dirty!

After bidding farewell to the two of them, Wang Quan invited O'Mei to meet him at home. The meeting lasted the whole night. She was really the best.

Not only does Wang Quan have to be busy with the later stages of "The Force Awakens" and some of Long Toutou's new film plans, but he also has to listen to reports from domestic kings.

Chen Chuling told him two things today. One was that "Legend of the Shark Pearl" was finalized.

Second, "There are only two movies available on the market now, and the one that will be released together with our new movie will be the famous "Godzilla." I'm worried that I won't be able to compete, and will be overwhelmed by two old movies and one new movie, and I won't be able to survive. space."

Wang Dao's new film in this period is "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" which made a splash in Cannes. Unexpectedly, this time the Monkey King and Godzilla will meet again in China. In fact, it is not Wang Dao's film. The producer It's Inception, and the publisher is Maoyan, but Chen Chuling is in charge of everything.

Therefore, in response to this situation, Chen Chuling suggested, "I would like to screen "The Return of the Great Sage" to release word-of-mouth."

There is still one week left before the official release. The preview film of "The Return of the Great Sage" is not as good as "Godzilla", nor as good as the two-week-old film "Transformers 4", and it is worse than "The Breakup Master".

The market's current expectations for "The Return of the Great Sage" are generally around 100 million, which I think is already worth it. At least there is a TV version of "Bear Bears", which took more than a year to cultivate a market of more than 200 million.

Wang Quan agreed to Chen Chuling's proposal and set up 100 screenings every day in first- and second-tier cities across the country to spread word-of-mouth.

Finally, Chen Chuling told Wang Quan a piece of gossip, "The Galloping Horse was acquired by SMG (Magic Media)."

"Normally, without the leader, it will be difficult for this company to persist. In this regard, our company is good. Even without me, Mr. Huang, you, and a large number of young and powerful new generation directors, Wang Dao The spirit never dies!”

After shouting two slogans, Wang Quan asked again, "What's Ning Hao's plan?"

"I don't know, but Wanda, Bona, Huayi, and Guangguang have all extended an olive branch to him. I guess he may want to see the box office of "Heart Blossoms" before making a decision." The movie has been renamed. , scheduled for National Day.

“For sale~”

"That's what it means."

In the next two days, Wang Quan checked again on Zhang Jingchu’s feelings following the crew.

"It's really training to be a coder from scratch. I'm learning about every step of film production."

"Don't forget that you are going to be a director, not a producer. Have you been in contact with Director Wu Shixian?"

"Well, I had dinner with Director Wu, Senior Sister Gong and Sister Bingbing a few days ago. Director Wu is actually quite talented, but he has been hit hard in the past two years. Senior Sister Gong would like to thank you very much for giving him this opportunity." Sister Bingbing It refers to Li Bingbing, "Waiting Alone" can be regarded as her masterpiece.

Wang Quan: "He only has one chance. The two previous films were very successful. If he messes up, it doesn't matter, but his career as a director will be completely over. No one will invest in him again. I hope He can take it seriously."

July 7th is the second day after the screening of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".

One hundred shows a day can cover more than 10,000 viewers.

However, these more than 10,000 viewers are loyal fans of domestic animation. Ever since "The Return of the Great Sage" made its stunning debut in Cannes, there have been endless voices about the rise of domestic animation.

After watching the on-demand screenings, these people became more convinced of this idea and began to promote this movie, which seemed to have an uncertain future, on various forums.

The movie's theme song "Wukong" was also released and quickly became popular.

Wang Wei is a divorced middle-aged man, but there is a teenager living in his heart.

He once owned a very famous website called Tudou.com.

Later, the website was sold to Youku. He used part of the money from selling the website to start a business again, creating an animation company called "Chasing Light".

With Wang Quan’s crazy investment in the animation industry, Chaiguang is one of the few independent animation companies that has not been invested by Stolen Dreams, because he is not short of money. He wants to build an animation kingdom that he has complete control over and become China’s Pixar!

A few months ago, the company finally released its first short film "Small Night Traveler", which he wrote and directed, and was well received.

And now the company is also producing its first animated feature film called "Little Door God", an original mythological story based on traditional mythology.

Although he likes to be busy doing things, he has heard of Tian Xiaopeng's name in October Culture, and he is also a little curious about "The Return of the Great Sage", which has been in the works for many years.

After hearing how amazing it was on the Internet, Wang Wei also bought a ticket for the screening.

After entering the venue, he found that the screening hall of more than 100 people was almost full. Most of them were animation lovers like him, and they were all younger than him.

When the 95-minute movie ended, Wang Wei walked out of the cinema in a daze, with only one thought in his mind: Damn, the first movie was so good, is there any room for improvement?

I heard before that the investment in this animation was as high as 100 million. Wang Wei thought it was bragging. The investment in Hollywood animation is indeed high, but that is based on the high salary of Hollywood animators.

While domestic salary levels are generally low, the salaries of real-life stars are particularly high, so the investment in cartoons that do not require real-life stars will not be too high.

A live-action film with an investment of 100 million is considered a large-scale production, let alone an animated film with an investment of 100 million. Unless some new technology and equipment are used, how can it be fully spent?

"The Return of the Great Sage" does not use any new technology, but the action scenes and rendering level are all moving closer to Hollywood-level animation, and it was completed by burning the hairlines of countless animators.

Excellent, far beyond the level of Bears and Pleasant Goats!

It is the kind of excellence that makes Wang Wei very worried about the movie "Little Doorkeeper" he is filming.

No wonder the netizens who watched the screening on the first day were eager to publicize it so that the whole world would know about it.

Even if I am already middle-aged, I can understand their excitement.

At this time, Wang Wei began to consider whether to increase the investment budget of "Little Door God" to make its quality closer to "The Return of the Monkey King"?

One day, two days and three days~

"The Return of the Great Sage" is becoming more and more popular, and theaters are even begging Wang Dao to increase the scale of screenings.

However, Chen Chuling did not agree. The purpose of screening was to spread word of mouth and promote the film in an unfavorable situation, rather than compete with previous films for box office.

So there are still 100 games every day, so driven by the incredible reputation, the tickets that are released every day almost disappear in seconds.

And 100 games cannot cover most cities in the country.

Some young viewers attracted by word-of-mouth even took the train to a big city to watch a screening of "The Return of the Great Sage", and then went to the Internet to brag to their fans with satisfaction.

Twenty-five-year-old Xiao Ni works in a chemical factory. When he was off duty, he went to the provincial capital to watch "The Return of the Great Sage". After returning, he excitedly posted on the box office: "It's a blast. It's definitely a blast. I guess " "The Return of the Great Sage" can exceed one billion! Attached is the ticket stub~"

Then he naturally received overwhelming ridicule, and many people thought that he was a black man and deliberately exaggerated to make the great sage laugh.

Although "The Return of the Great Sage" has a good reputation in screenings and is distributed by a big company like Maoyan, there seems to be no movie that has a bad reputation in screenings. Everyone looked like they were having a blast when they screened it. .

And after all, it is a domestic animation, and the upper limit is 240 million for "Bear Bears". If you blow 1 billion, you are sure that there is nothing wrong with your brain.

What's more, there was also the Hollywood blockbuster "Godzilla" at the same time. This movie beat "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" to shit in North America.

Xiao Ni is dissatisfied: Havoc in Heaven is Havoc in Heaven, and the Return of the Great Sage is the Return of the Great Sage. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see, the Great Sage with the long face will definitely beat the shit out of Godzilla!

Below is another pile of "just wait for a slap in the face" messages.

On Friday, July 11, two new films "Godzilla" and "Journey to the West: Return of the Monkey King" were released.

One day later, "The Return of the Great Sage" ranked third on the day with a box office of 31 million.

The second place is "Transformers 4" with 42 million, which was released for half a month.

The first place is naturally the monster blockbuster "Godzilla", with 65 million, doubling the number of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Xiaoni's post has almost reached 1,000 mocking replies.

"Where's the promised billion? Isn't it enough for you to make up for it, hahaha~"
