You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 584 ① I like to be passive ② Sister Meng gives for free ③ Movie version of "The Three-Body Problem"

Xiao K's movie "The Equal Race" has premiered. Wang Quan accompanied her to the premiere and shook his head to say "It's hard to win an award". Then Xiao K had no interest in this film festival and was ready to return to the United States.

Wang Quan was idle anyway, so he simply sent his sister-in-law thousands of miles away and visited the filming of "Star Wars 8" by the way.

Although it was handed over to J.J., Wang Quan is the backbone of this sequel series. Both Dorothy and J.J. hope to get Wang Quan's guidance.

Originally, Meng Ziyi was going to go back to Beijing Film Academy to study after joining the excitement of the Venice opening ceremony.

She was a temporary assistant, and she was only a junior at the beginning of the school year. She still had many serious courses to take. She went to school to become an actor, so she couldn't put the cart before the horse.

Wang Quan had no objection, but Xiao Tian had to stay in Venice to take care of the actors and communicate with the film festival. But he couldn't go to the United States without anyone to serve him.

So I had to ask Xiao Meng to fly with me to the United States. I'm already a junior, and I can go out to film at Beijing Film Academy. It's no big deal to take a few more days off.

Xiao Meng thought that she had never been to the United States and had never been in touch with Hollywood, so she agreed happily.

But I didn't expect Director Quan to be so popular and kissed Christine on the plane without paying attention to anyone else.

Oh my God, isn't she your sister-in-law!

And your brother has already given birth to a son for you, are you doing her justice!

Xiao Meng was too shy, so she covered her face and turned away.

Xiao K was very surprised. Seeing Xiao Meng's excessive indulgence, could it be that she and Erlang were innocent?

"What's that look in your eyes? I have nothing to do with her. I never force my staff to do anything unless they take the initiative."

Xiao K said "Oh" meaningfully, "So you like to be passive~"

Wang Quan: "Go to sleep."

"Together?"

"No, save some energy, and then you can get your husband!" Wang Quan patted Xiao K's butt when she stood up.

After that, Wang Quan sat on a chair and started to watch a movie with his eyes closed.

Xiao Meng walked around the plane and saw that Xiao K was gone, so she immediately walked to Wang Quan.

At this time, Wang Quan was covered with a blanket, as if he was asleep. She was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly thought of her job, so she secretly lifted the blanket.

Sure enough, the zipper was open again!

Xiao Meng reached in and prepared to help him zip up, but just as she was about to move, she stopped.

Meng Ziyi thought about the days she had lived during this period, indulging in Qingqu clothing and toys. Although she had experienced extreme happiness several times, she felt empty afterwards.

And now, she has a chance.

Meng Ziyi glanced at Wang Quan and felt that he was already asleep, so the little hand slipped in through the open door.

"Huh?" Wang Quan felt it at the first time. This clumsy technique must not be Xiao K, it must be Xiao Meng, so Wang Quan, who was watching a dull art film, quickly changed to a sexy "Obsessed".

…

When Xiao K came out of the bedroom after a nap, he happened to see Xiao Meng covering his mouth and running to the bathroom.

Wang Quan walked slowly behind him, "I'll use the bedroom for a while, don't come in."

Xiao K looked Wang Quan up and down: "Didn't you say before that you would save your energy to deal with Dorothy?"

Wang Quan said confidently: "There are still more than ten hours, enough to recover."

Xiao K was quite obedient and didn't go in, but it's okay to listen to it yourself.

In China, it's less than two weeks away from the release of "Who is He", but major cinemas have not received the promotional materials for "Who is He".

Cinemas are anxious because mid-September is a cold period, and Liu Dehua's new film "Saving Mr. Wu" released at the beginning of the month has a good reputation, but the box office has not exploded, so cinemas are more looking forward to "Who is He" to save the sluggish film market.

Now "Who is He" has its own popularity, and the subsequent trial of Gao Chengyong has not ended. As long as he doesn't die, the popularity will continue. This is simply a sweet dew for cinemas after a long drought. Cinemas are counting on this movie to let them eat all they can in September.

What's wrong with art films and experimental films? With such high social popularity, it's still Wang Quan's work. If it wins another award in Venice, it won't be a problem to make 400 million or 500 million!

But the distributor Maoyan seemed to be unaware of the existence of this movie. Apart from releasing a trailer, it did not do any actual publicity work.

This made people anxious. All the cinemas can do now is to play the trailer of "Who is He" on the electronic screen outside the cinema.

The manager of a Wanda cinema in Beijing chose a Dawang cinema when he accompanied the college student he kept to watch a movie on his day off. Only then did he find that the Dawang cinema had put up a poster roll-up of "Who is He".

"Damn, it's not a martial arts ethics. Only the poster was given to the Dawang cinema. Why!" The Wanda manager immediately left the college student and found the manager of the Dawang cinema. They all knew each other.

Da Wang’s manager told him: “This is not the material provided by Maoyan, we made it ourselves. The other party said that there is no promotion budget, so there is no money to make posters. If you want, you can download pictures from the Internet and print them yourself.”

Hearing this explanation, Wanda’s manager could only say “damn it” and quickly contacted his subordinates to make posters and promote them themselves.

In fact, it doesn’t cost much, and each movie theater can spend a few hundred yuan to get it done. However, Wang Dao followed the boss’s previous promise and did not do any publicity and released it with naked publicity.

So I had to work hard for each cinema. There are several official posters of "Who is He" online, but in order to make their own cinemas more attractive, different cinema chains will choose posters they think are more attractive. They are all produced, and some even design their own posters, and then use them in their entire theater chain.

In order to earn more box office in 10 days, they also worked hard to highlight one and show their special abilities.

Later, some good people posted this incident on the Internet, and even netizens joined in the fun. Some Internet celebrities began to spontaneously design posters for "Who Is He?"

After all, the subject matter is already known and the actors are basically revealed, so everyone can show their talents.

Xiao Meng also worked hard, feeling more and more happy.

In the past, happiness was followed by emptiness, but now happiness is followed by satisfaction. She fell in love with this feeling completely. In the process, she also showed Wang Quan some of the clothes she brought.

Then he was almost torn apart by Wang Quan, and he also told himself, "This is the correct use of Qingqu's clothes."

Xiao Meng listened thoughtfully, it seems that there is indeed a lot of knowledge in "things between men and women".

"Boss, can I call you husband?" Meng Ziyi said delicately.

Wang Quan smiled: "You call me husband, then where do you put your boss?"

"Oh, I don't want to compete with the boss for a seat. Just, can I call you that when we are just two people?" Meng Ziyi said in a pleading tone. She was still very self-aware.

Wang Quan thought for a while and suggested: "I have a more interesting title here."

"what?"

Wang Quan told her again. Xiao Meng was embarrassed and annoyed, but still screamed as he wished.

Then she said she wanted more!

During a flight of more than ten hours, Wang Quan only had half the time to rest.

After the plane landed, Wang Quan asked Xiao K to take Xiao Meng to rest, while he went directly to the filming site of "Star Wars 8".

He waited until the crew was almost done resting before returning to Dorothy's house. As for Meng Ziyi, he had already been settled in Wang Quan's house.

"How's it going?" Dorothy asked, "JJ's photo is okay."

"Xiao follows the rules and Cao follows the rules, which is quite satisfactory." Wang Quan commented, this is a good evaluation.

JJ has successfully implemented the style and route planned for him in the first part of King Power. Although there is no innovation of his own, if he can inherit and develop the outstanding and distinctive features of the previous part, this one will not be too bad.

Dorothy smiled and said: "I was right to buy Star Wars. I believe that our company's market value will skyrocket after the release of "Star Wars: A Star Wars Story."

The current market value of Dragon Head is US$110 billion, with both Netflix and Lucasfilm making huge contributions.

Because Lucasfilm is a direct acquisition, the impact of the performance of the Star Wars series on market value is more intuitive.

It originally cost 4 billion U.S. dollars, but now the market value has increased to almost 400 U.S. dollars, not to mention that the hit "The Force Awakens" brought back more than one billion in actual profits to the company, which is really profitable.

Wang Quan asked about the test screening of "A Star Wars Story".

Dorothy sat astride Wang Quan's lap and answered the question, "The score has reached 8 points. Although it is not comparable to your "The Force Awakens", it is still very good. I feel it should be able to break one billion."

Of course, what we are talking about here is the global box office. I am afraid that even King Quan himself cannot reach the one billion mark in North America. If nothing unexpected happens, this North American box office record can be maintained for many years, which also makes Americans uncomfortable. Their own country's record has been A foreigner is in charge.

At this time, the global box office of "Minions with Big Eyes" has exceeded the $1 billion mark, which means that Long Toutou is expected to produce two more $1 billion movies this year.

Although with the rise of markets such as the Mainland, it is much easier to break one billion at the global box office than it was at the time of "Inception," but it is still scary for a company to make two movies a year.

This year, in addition to the two movies "The Dragon Raise Its Head", there are also Universal's "Jurassic World" and Disney's "Avengers 2".

Last year, it was "Frozen", "The Force Awakens", "Transformers 4" and "The Hobbit 3".

Even earlier would be "Frozen" and "Iron Man 3."

It can be seen from the global box office hits in recent years that the box office hits are basically high-quality animations and big IPs, and the upper limit of original live-action movies is very limited.

So now Dorothy is concerned about what the dragon will do when Star Wars is finished.

Wang Quan said with a smile: "As for Star Wars Episode VI, it will take 19 years to finish filming. After 19 years, the film industry may be finished."

"How is it possible? Be serious. 19 years is very close. What will we shoot after 19 years? Our foundation is still weak. They have Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man, and Harry Potter. , and our IP influence is far behind.”

The Dragon Raise its Head has gone from the Twilight era to the Hunger Games era and now to the Star Wars era.

The Twilight Saga established the industry status of Dragon Raising Its Head. Although "The Hunger Games" was not as good, it was very popular in the North American market. It was a smooth transition, and then we waited for the super hit "Star Wars".

"The future~" Wang Quan thought for a while, "Didn't we cooperate with Lego? What do you think of "Barbie"?"

"Barbie? Do you want to make animations? Then you need to find Illumination Entertainment."

Wang Quan shook his head: "No, make a live-action movie, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to turn this into a series."

Later, Dorothy mentioned it again, "As for Journey to the West, you don't have to pay the copyright fee yet. When the time comes, you can bring Master Liu on board, and China and the United States will blossom!"

"We should keep our Chinese IP and shoot it ourselves. Don't ruin our traditional culture." Wang Quan doesn't believe that foreigners can shoot these traditional things well.

"What do you think of The Three-Body Problem?" Dorothy suddenly mentioned this novel. "After the Hugo Award, this novel became very popular in the United States. Even Okusoko is reading it and is eager to read the second part. Woolen cloth."

The second part, Liu Yukun, is still being translated. Unless O Heizi can learn Chinese, I can only apologize.

Wang Quan shook his head: "The Three-Body Problem is too grand. I feel it is more suitable for filming a TV series."

Dorothy: "It's just because it's big that it's suitable for being made into a series, just like Star Trek, which was made into a dozen super series of science fiction movies!"

She looked like she had been preparing a novel for more than ten years.

Wang Quan thought for a while and replied seriously: "The Three-Body Problem strikes me as a hard science fiction novel. It is easy to make this kind of novel into a masterpiece, but it is difficult to make it into a blockbuster."

The reason is very simple. The so-called sci-fi hits on the market now and in the future are basically superheroes. There are no scientific concepts in them at all. The most used ones are the concept of the multiverse that they play rogue.

Let's just talk about the new version of "Spider-Man 3" which made a huge hit of 1.9 billion dollars. What the hell is that?

However, the audience doesn't care about those. What they see is relaxed, funny and refreshing.

Therefore, Wang Quan feels that there is not much hope for "The Three-Body Problem" to be a big hit. However, if the investment is adequate, the changes are appropriate, and a certain clip is taken from it, it is still possible to make a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions.

"It's only a few hundred million dollars. The mainland market may be able to contribute hundreds of millions of dollars in box office. If you add it to the global market, it should be easy to reach one billion dollars."

"You still don't understand China," Wang Quan pointed out. "If you use Westerners as the protagonists, don't count on the mainland market. But if you want the mainland market and take care of the original party's sentiments, the overseas market will inevitably be affected, so it is difficult to reconcile the two sides. You can almost only choose one.”

Dorothy smiled slightly: "I have a way."

"What?"

Dorothy: "You will play the male lead, Luo Ji!"

Wang Quan was stunned for a moment and said with emotion: "You are such a clever little guy, but you reminded me that I recently accepted a role as the leading actor in a movie, and it will be filmed in two months. I am very nervous. Please ask Little K to come over and tell me about the play~~"
