You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 587 ①The scheming lesbian ②International Philippines ③This can all explode

Yang Mi also wanted Liu Yifei to sing Happy Birthday to her, but Wang Quan said, "She's occupying her mouth, so it's inconvenient."

Yang Mi: "..."

After that, Yang Mi chatted with Wang Quan for a while, "The news about you winning an award in Venice has become the most popular search again. Tsk tsk, the awards you won in this year are as good as those of Lou Ye and Wang Xiaoshuai in their lifetime."

In addition to making movies to make money and sleeping with actresses, these sixth-generation directors' biggest dream should be to win gold and silver in the three major European companies.

Among them, Wang Xiaoshuai has only won one Jury Prize in Cannes, one Jury Prize in Berlin, and one Best Screenplay, which is not as good as Wang Quan.

Wang Quan'an is a Berlin Golden Bear, one of the best screenwriters in Berlin, not as good as Wang Quan.

Lou Ye only has one Berlin Art Contribution Award (Photography), which is even worse.

Yang Mi counted them on her fingers and found, "Hey, there seems to be a big gap between these people and you."

Jia Zhangke, the best among this group of people, only has the best screenwriter in Cannes and the Golden Lion in Venice, which is still far behind the royal power of one gold and three silver medals (including Tony Leung's Best Actor).

Even though he is the leader among the fifth generation directors, Director Kai Ge has only achieved one Palme d'Or. To put it bluntly, it is half.

In the three major European awards, the only Chinese directors who can compete with Wang Quan are Lao Mouzi and Li Jian.

Lao Mouzi has two Venice Golden Lions, a Berlin Golden Bear, and two Grand Jury Prizes and a Best Director at Cannes.

In addition, he also praised Cannes Best Actor Ge You and Venice Best Actress Gong Li.

As for Li Yin, he has two Berlin Golden Bears and two Venice Golden Lions. He didn’t win anything at Cannes, and he didn’t win the Best Actor or Best Actress.

Yang Mi concluded: "Look at it this way, Zhang Yimou is first, Li Bian is second, and you should be third. However, the Palme d'Or is the most valuable, so it makes sense to rank you second, and you have just started to exert your strength."

Wang Quan: "Oh, don't say that, I will float, ah, ah, float, float!"

With the royal power in full swing, Liu Yifei finally finished her work and sang a song to Mimi. She is the queen of children's songs. She is a professional at singing this kind of songs.

Yang Mi: "You sing very well, but can you moisturize your throat first before singing? It seems like there is phlegm stuck in it."

Yang Mi hung up the phone and the plane returned to calm. As New York approached, Sissi began to feel a little uneasy, "How about I don't get off the plane by then? You celebrate Alex's birthday and we can go to Toronto together?"

Wang Quan gently held her shoulders: "Do you think it's appropriate? When we get married, Alex will call you Fei Ma."

These words made Liu Yifei feel happy for a while, and she finally nodded and said: "Then tell Dorothy and the others in advance so that they don't disturb your arrangements. I will go upstairs to my house to rest after my birthday."

Anyway, the three houses are next to each other.

Dorothy and Little K expressed their great welcome to Liu Yifei's arrival. They even hoped that Liu Yifei could stay at their home for the night.

Liu Yifei naturally refused. Humph, these scheming lesbians must be greedy for their own bodies.

In addition to the royal power, I can only accept Mimi, and at most add one Gadot.

After meeting Liu Yifei, Dorothy gave her a big hug and congratulated her on the box office success of "Lucy."

Just now, this female action film, which has been released in North America for one month, has exceeded the box office of US$200 million and has entered the top ten in North America.

It has also surpassed popular movies such as "Kingsman" and "Fifty Shades of Grey" in Dragon Head.

Coupled with the hit of 1.1 billion+ in mainland China, the film's global box office has reached 700 million+, and there is no suspense about the top ten of the year.

Dorothy smiled and said, "You are now a real international superstar."

Before Liu Yifei, perhaps only Cheng Long's "Rush Hour" series had such an excellent box office performance internationally.

What about Li Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi? They don't have such achievements. At most, they just play side characters in blockbusters.

Now that she can't wait for the single movie "Black Widow", Scarlett actually hopes to make a sequel to "Lucy". She has also made movies other than Marvel, and their box office performance was average. Only the series Long Head Up allowed the world to see her box office appeal.

Of course, there is also Liu Yifei. The nearly 200 million U.S. dollars in box office in China is probably all due to Liu Yifei.

"In order to show sincerity, Scarlett is even willing to equal the number." Dorothy said, although the two have equal roles in this movie, and Liu Yifei has more fighting scenes, it is definitely Scarlett.

Liu Yifei looked embarrassed, but Wang Quan blocked her back directly. After filming these films, she still needed to take care of herself and prepare to have a baby.

Seeing how much Sissi cared about Alex just now, Wang Quan swore in his heart that he must give her a baby!

Dorothy could only express regret for this, and it seemed that she could only film "Super Body 2" first.

In order to wait for his father, Alex went to bed much later than usual. Now he was already sleepy. After eating, little K went to coax the child to sleep.

Liu Yifei also stood up and said goodbye. When she returned to her home in New York, she found that it was clean and there was no dust on the table. It seemed that someone cleaned it every week.

Although it was already past 12 o'clock, she had just finished her meal and was still unable to sleep, so she took to Twitter, which she had not been on for a long time. Then she was shocked to find that her Twitter followers had exceeded 5 million!

She remembered that the period when her Twitter followers skyrocketed was during the years when she was in love with Wang Quan. After the breakup, she even lost a few followers, and then the number basically stabilized at over two million.

She also watched it two months ago, and it still cost more than two million. It seems that the extra two million is mainly due to "Lucy."

It’s also thanks to my assistant Zhuzhu. I’m too lazy to take care of these social software, so Zhuzhu is posting photos.

In addition to Twitter, Liu Yifei looked at the two platforms of Instagram and Facebook, and the number of fans has also increased significantly.

She also read some reviews and was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the new fans liked her role as the Witch. They even picked up "The Witch", which was not well-known in North America before, and watched it on Netflix.

What surprised her even more was that many people mentioned "Don't Tell Her", and these obviously foreign fans also expressed their affirmation of her performance.

Her face turned red, it looked like she had become an international Filipino.

The next day, Wang Quan flew to Toronto with Liu Yifei and Little K to attend the film festival.

Little K has "Room", Wang Quan has "Parasite" and "Who Is He", and Liu Yifei also has "Don't Tell Her".

After arriving at the place, Wang Quan first found Fan Bingbing and Wen Yongshan, and then Zhang Songwen and Jiang Peiyao.

In addition, the crews of "Old Man", "Old Man" and "Gorgeous Office Worker", which have met in Cannes and Venice before, are also here. There are really many Chinese-language films this year.

Before Wang Quan came back, they all envied Fan Bingbing. Although Fan Bingbing didn't have many overseas connections, with Long Toutou leading him, Fan Bingbing was indispensable in almost all activities.

Yesterday, I took a photo with DiCaprio and it was trending on Weibo.

Didn't DiCaprio know her, but when he heard that she was the heroine of King Power's new movie "Parasite", it turned into "Oh, nice to meet you".

King Power is a transformational masterpiece that has already received recognition from many parties before it was released to the public. Even Xiao Lizi is itching for it.

So he deliberately left one day late, waiting for Wang Quan to arrive in Toronto and attended the premiere of "Parasite."

Wang Quan didn't catch up with his "The Revenant", but the Chinese movie fans on the chartered flight did.

Although it was difficult to buy tickets, they couldn't stop them from throwing away money, so everyone finally got a ticket.

After more than two hours of screening, there was thunderous applause.

"Oh, David, I have also learned a new word now, newbee!" After watching "Parasite", DiCaprio learned the new words he learned from Quentin to express his admiration for the new movie King Power.

As an actor who no longer makes many commercial films and has focused on artistic films in recent years to seek the best actor, Li Zi does not say that he fully understands it, but he also understands seven or eighty-eight, and the artistic content of these seven or eighty-eight is already three It's as high as four stories high.

He feels that if he and Wang Quan had made the American version of "Parasite" instead of "Inception", he might have become an actor long ago.

The problem of the rich and the poor reflected in "Parasite" is a problem that the whole world needs to face, and it is especially serious in the United States.

DiCaprio has even considered the idea of ​​a remake. If "The Revenant" doesn't win the Best Actor this time, he really wants to try Tony Leung's role. Didn't he win the Best Actor at Cannes with this role?

The release of this movie in Toronto also made Fan Bingbing's reputation even higher. Some authoritative media directly evaluated her as "Chinese Sex Goddess" and "Oriental Marilyn Monroe".

Later, "Who Is He" was also screened in Toronto. Although it was not as popular as "Parasite", there was no English version, and you could only watch subtitles and lost a lot of viewing experience, but the legendary nature of this movie is still very attractive.

Now the media in North America are reporting that Wang Quan captured the Chinese Jack the Ripper, a perverted maniac who had been absconding for more than 20 years and killed more than a dozen women through making a movie.

The screening of both films has ended, and Zhang Songwen and Jiang Peiyao are about to return to China.

Coincidentally, the domestic film "Who Is He" is about to be released. Although the company does not have a publicity budget, it does not prohibit actors from actively promoting the film. If there is a program invitation, Wang Quan does not prohibit it at all.

Jiang Peiyao whispered: "Director, Running Man has invited me, so I'm going to go?"

"Go ahead," Wang Quan asked strangely, "You didn't invite Teacher Zhang?"

Zhang Songwen said embarrassedly: "I guess it's because I'm old and this kind of high-intensity exercise is not suitable for me."

Although he is not yet forty years old, he is indeed a lifestyle person who is used to a slow life. The running man style does not match his style. If there is any "Longing for Life" at this time, he is definitely the right person to find.

Because Fan Bingbing had to film in Wanwan, she also left, just flying to Wanwan.

Now that the work in Toronto is temporarily over and they just have to wait for the closing ceremony, Wang Quan asked Liu Yifei and Wen Yongshan to go to Los Angeles to play.

And what Wen Yongshan was thinking was, ah, can I also play with Liu Yifei?

The answer is: You think beautifully.

Neither Dorothy nor Little K succeeded, so they could only play their own way.

As for King Power, he's also auditioning actors for "The Getaway," a series that also needs some foreign actors.

He didn't think about saving money. The budget was so high, so the auditionees were all first- and second-tier stars.

At this time, "Who is He" was also released as scheduled in China. Although it was released with naked advertising and the posters were made by the cinema itself, it received 40% of the film schedule on the first day of release.

This will happen. First, if movie theaters and audiences believe in King Power, the pre-sale box office of the movie will be very good, and the movie theaters will definitely have to schedule more movies.

Also, there are no competitors in the same period. Last week's "Mission: Impossible 5" already had 600 million, so it has no box office potential.

There was only one third-tier Hollywood film "Pixels" released on the same day, which was no match for it.

In the coldest box office period of the year, "Who is He" took in a box office of 118 million on the first working day, and its popularity exceeded everyone's expectations.

At this time, two pieces of news came out from Baiyin. One was that the murderer Gao Chengyong had tried to commit suicide, but failed.

Also, Gao Chengyong wants to apply to watch "Who is He" about himself.

Even the murderer himself wants to see it, and the audience wants to see it even more. Even if they have been vaccinated before, saying that the movie is not very commercial, they don't care, just to see the lineup of murderers.

The news that the real murderer had appeared in the movie had already spread from Venice, which became a major reason for the box office success.

Wang Quan also made a special call to Baiyin’s team leader and asked if Gao Chengyong really proposed to watch the movie.

"Yeah, it's true."

Wang Quan asked: "Then did you agree?"

Zhang Dui said fiercely: "No, he is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of embarrassment. It is rare that there is something that can be manipulated for him. He wants to see it, but he is not allowed to see it."

Wang Quan agreed with this approach, "Let him go with regrets."

A few days later, Wang Quan and his team went to Toronto again to attend the closing ceremony.

I also got to receive that People’s Choice Award by the way.

King Power wins again.

Through the votes of the audience, the film festival selected the first, second and third prizes.

"Parasite" won the first prize, "Who Is He" won the third prize, and Little K's "Room" won the second prize.

Although it is a North American film festival, the aesthetic orientation of Toronto audiences is still literary and artistic, so many commercial blockbusters such as "The Martian" did not win awards.

Little K is very happy. Winning the award for "Room" gives her more confidence in becoming a movie queen.

After the show ended in Toronto, Wang Quan took Liu Yifei and the others back to China.

As soon as it landed, I received the news that the box office of "Who is He" exceeded 700 million in the first six days!

All domestic entertainment colleagues are crazy with jealousy. This kind of movie can burst out with such energy without publicity. It's so bullying!

However, it is worth mentioning that because the commercial attributes are indeed not high, the box office trend has begun to decline by the weekend.

But it has already exceeded 700 million, and there is still such a long period of time ahead. It must not be difficult to exceed 1 billion~

(It’s the end of the month, please give me a monthly pass~~)
