You don't understand the happiness of the director

One year later~

Wang Quan was very busy and fulfilled throughout 2022.

Filming, taking care of children, exercising, helping Long Taizhi plan new films, and remotely directing Wang Dao's filming plans, and even providing opinions on Qiankun, Mi Shi, Bingcheng, and Hesong's projects.

During this period, he basically lived in the United States, but he often had to fly between two places, and when filming, he flew all over the world. As a result, rumors of Wang Quan changing his nationality appeared on the Internet, forcing two Douyin official media accounts with hundreds of millions of views to refute the rumors.

Until the end of 2022, Wang Quan's film was finished, and the post-production was on track, so he had some free time.

Last night, New Year's Eve was spent with his family, three wives, four children, and a couple.

It was indeed busy enough.

The next day, before he had time to rest, Taylor Swift asked him out, saying that she had prepared a "180 surprise" for him, and found a few long legs like her to accompany him, and guaranteed that they were all beautiful.

Although Wang Quan felt sympathetic towards Taylor Swift's physique, he was still a little curious when he heard that there were several such physiques.

He also wanted to challenge the limits of Asian men!

So he asked Sydney Sweeney to accompany him. She was Wang Quan's new assistant in the United States. Wang Quan was used to calling her Sydney.

Last year in the United States, because Ma Fanshu had her own hosting job, Sun Yining was almost semi-illiterate and had no English at all, so he had to find a new American assistant.

Sydney was chosen not because of her outstanding ability, but purely because of her domineering figure, which reminded Wang Quan of Black Widow when she was young.

At that time, Sydney had no movies to shoot.

Because she starred in a horror film produced by Summit Entertainment under Dragon Head, she missed the HBO pornographic American drama "Euphoria" that should have made her famous.

At this time, political correctness began to prevail in Hollywood. The standard for selecting actresses was usually not to be too beautiful, not to have a prominent figure, and to allow ordinary women to get a sense of substitution from the actors.

So ordinary girls like Zendaya and even ugly girls began to be favored by film companies, and Sydney girl had less and less work, and could only take some marginal roles.

Because she had worked with Long Taizhi before, when Wang Quan released the news of looking for an assistant, she also received it and immediately sent her resume without hesitation.

After all, Ana de Armas's success is just around the corner. A Cuban immigrant can become a popular first-line star with the help of David Wang's assistant as a springboard, so how can she, a native American Zhenghuangqi, be inferior!

So in the competition with a group of beauties, Sydney girl finally won.

However, Wang Quan also observed her for two months, and then he completely conquered her with interest binding and favors.

You can't be careless. Now American actresses have regarded Metoo as their own magic weapon. How many executives and big stars of film and television companies have been killed in this muddle.

Before doing it, you said that we both get what we need, but after doing it, you said I sexually harassed you in the workplace?

The atmosphere in the United States is very weird now, and you can't be careless.

Let's just say that Wang Quan has to take safety measures every time he is in the United States, for fear that he will accidentally have another child.

On the way, Wang Quan took the time to take a look at Maoyan in China.

The performance in 2022 is good, better than 2021.

The total box office in 2021 is 80.3 billion, which is lower than that in 2020, but 2022 has risen to 83.2 billion, second only to the invincible 19 years.

And since 19, the mainland has surpassed North America for four consecutive years and has become the world's largest market.

So much so that the Hollywood giants who had suffered losses from Huayi and other companies earlier returned to the mainland again in a purely capital-free way, and cooperated with local film and television companies, allowing many film and television companies to benefit.

But Huayi was excluded by all Hollywood giants, and Columbia's lesson that year was too painful.

Coupled with the bloody failure of "If You Are the One 3", Huayi's life became more and more difficult, so Mi Shi took the opportunity to discuss with Huayi's two kings, wanting to replace it and become one of the six major YYDS.

The price is to give Huayi some production tasks, so that this once glorious and invincible brand can survive, but it can only serve as a foundry for Mishi and Qiankun.

The financial business of the two kings also collapsed at this time, and they urgently needed money to fill the holes and maintain their current extravagant life. They had no choice but to sign a humiliating alliance and completely withdraw from the ranks of Chinese film and television giants.

However, in 22 years, Mishi performed mediocrely in the film industry, and no works entered the top ten of the year.

The best performance of Mishi was the first part of "Dumb House" directed by Li Weiran during the Spring Festival.

With the influence of the original work and the reunion of Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu's "The Pen-stealing CP", the film received a box office of 2.065 billion, but because the overall performance in 22 years was too strong, it could only rank 11th in the year.

Even in the Spring Festival, "Dumb House" ranked third.

The second place is "The Killer Is Not So Calm", which is not very well-received, but it simply makes the audience happy. It is a subsidiary of Yuewen Group and Xihong City Film Industry.

The film made a comeback and earned 2.627 billion yuan at the box office, ranking seventh in the year. Moreover, this time, it did not take advantage of Shen Teng's popularity. The male lead is Wei Xiang and the female lead is Ma Li.

As for Shen Teng himself, this year was also fruitful. A "Man Jiang Hong" won the Spring Festival championship and ranked second in the year with a high box office of 4.861 billion yuan.

This is also Shen Teng's personal best result. Although Lao Mouzi's skill and craftsmanship in one shot may be more important, without Shen Teng, I am afraid that the audience would not choose this movie first.

In addition, Huang Xuan's popularity accumulated through the Zhu Xian trilogy also helped a certain extent. He played Shen Teng's third uncle.

An old-fashioned general and a heroic young general formed a contrast.

Huang Xuan finally fulfilled his dream of working with Zhang Yimou, and the matter of "The Golden Armor" back then could be put to rest.

Of course, Wang Quan felt that the new ending he thought of for Zhang Yimou also helped a certain extent, thus avoiding many haters.

In addition to "Man Jiang Hong", which was almost a personal show for Shen Teng, "The Lone Moon", which contained 100% of Tencent's volume, also received a box office of 3.369 billion, ranking fifth in the year.

During the release period, it was hit by another Hong Kong-produced science fiction film "The Tomorrow War" that claimed to have epoch-making significance. It stole the box office and was suppressed. It was also said that it bullied Hong Kong compatriots. Shen Teng and Ma Li were almost scolded as a black force in the entertainment industry.

It made a big drama, and in the end, the box office was 600 million.

Sure enough, movies do need hype and publicity, but the premise is that the quality must at least pass the test, at least it must be qualified.

Another film that became famous in the 2022 film industry for its hype was Wu Ershan's "The Legend of the Gods Part 1", which was much better than "The Tomorrow War", and earned 2.8 billion yuan at the box office, ranking sixth in the year.

Originally, the production of this series had been deadlocked because of the problem of the investors, and there was no money for special effects later.

Fortunately, Hollywood entered the game in a big way, and Wu Ershan, who received investment from Disney, had the money to complete the post-production and get the film released in the summer. In addition, Disney was responsible for the overseas distribution of the film, making another fortune.

This practice of Hollywood companies investing in mainland films to obtain revenue and overseas distribution rights also provides a new way for Chinese-language films to go overseas, which is much more efficient than Long Tailing alone doing this.

Although this will form competition with Hollywood itself, the attraction of the world's largest market is too great, and Hollywood's creativity has begun to decline in recent years, and its performance is not good enough, so it needs a new profit growth point.

Although domestic blockbusters such as "The Legend of the Gods" and "The Dragon Clan" have been released around the world on this trend, the most dazzling Chinese-language film in the global market in 2022 is still the second part of the "Three-Body" series.

Although it is only the third in the mainland, it is the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in the world in 22 years.

The director Wu Shixian took over the "Three-Body" series from Zhang Yimou. This time, he found Huang Xiaoming to play Luo Ji. The mainland box office received 4.155 billion yuan, becoming the champion of the National Day.

This result is not as good as "Man Jiang Hong". It seems that Zhang Yimou's choice is still right.

But this cannot be said that science fiction films are not good, because the annual box office champion is science fiction.

It is the genuine sequel to "The Wandering Earth". It follows the story of the Jupiter crisis and tells the story of the new crisis of the earth after Liu Qi becomes a qualified doomsday warrior-"The Wandering Earth 2"!

This movie became the annual box office champion with a score of 5.152 billion.

Although this is the worst annual champion since "Wolf Warrior 2" in 2017, it cannot be blamed on Guo Fan. He has done well enough within his ability.

This summer season is really too strong.

Not to mention that "The First Part of the Gods" and "The Lone Moon" together have 6 billion, there is another movie that has won nearly 4 billion box office as a super dark horse, ranking fourth in the year.

This is "All or Nothing", directed by Shen Ao, starring Nazha, Zhang Yixing, Yongmei, Wang Chuanjun, Zhou Ye, etc., which is nicknamed "Anti-fraud propaganda film" by netizens. It was originally named "Fishing Operation".

Although Nazha is known as the leader of the new four little flowers, she is a Buddhist and the theme is realistic, so almost no one is optimistic that it can break 1 billion.

As a result, the clips of "Sexy dealer, Nazha dealing cards online" and "Wang Chuanjun worshiping Buddha and burning incense" before the release went viral on short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, which triggered a nationwide discussion on telecommunications fraud.

The popularity level of this movie has also risen again and again. After its release, it directly cut off the good momentum of "The Gods", and even affected the subsequent performance of "The Wandering Earth 2".

Although the stars and the sea are beautiful, ordinary people are more concerned about the things around them, especially since online fraud has been rampant recently. Almost everyone has such relatives and friends around them, so they can empathize with them.

The success of this movie, coupled with the country's emphasis on online fraud, has also given Wu Jing, who is currently filming "Wolf Warrior 3", great confidence.

In addition to the seven movies mentioned above, there is also Qiankun's "River God 2" ranked ninth in the year.

After Xu Ke finished the "Changjin Lake" series, he took over this work of Tianxia Bachang and started a new series, which earned 2.3 billion yuan at the box office, allowing Li Xian to successfully gain a foothold in the film industry.

In addition to these eight films, there is also a semi-Hollywood movie in the top ten of the year.

First, in June, "Jurassic Park 3" won a tepid 2.1 billion box office.

In December, Yang Mi played the leading role in the co-production blockbuster "Pacific Rim 3" which set off the Lunar New Year holiday. The current box office has reached 2.2 billion yuan, and it should eventually surpass "River God 2".

(The final annual box office is shown in the figure↓)

As for Liu Yifei's film "Crime" (formerly known as "Iris Chang"), which was released at the end of November, it also had a box office of 1.3 billion, causing quite a stir at home and abroad, and was boycotted by Japan.

As early as February at the Berlin International Film Festival, Liu Yifei also won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress with this film.

She also became the first Chinese actress, and even the first Asian actress, to complete the three crowns of Cannes + Berlin + Venice Best Actress!

The most impressive before was Zhang Manyu's Cannes + Berlin Best Actress.

Since then, Liu Yifei has been the acting spokesperson in the Chinese world.

Even in the world film industry, there have only been two people who have won the Grand Slam of the three major European actresses.

One is Juliette Binoche, another national treasure of France, and the other is Julianne Moore of the United States.

Now Liu Yifei is the third one. I feel that her English name should be changed to Zhu Lifei or something like that.

Although Wang Quan feels that Sissi's current acting skills are not worthy of so many awards, who makes her his sweetheart?

Wang Quan can always grasp the most touching temperament of Sissi at the right age and tailor the most suitable role for her.

So there was the natural and casual Li Ziqi in "Human Fireworks" at the beginning, like a country elf.

And Billie in "Don't Tell Her", who is fat and has no image, but is very affectionate.

And later, Ji Silei in "Lily" has a fatal attraction to women.

And now, Mr. Zhang Chunru, who is compassionate in "Crime".

After filming this movie, Sissi almost shut herself in. She didn't go to Berlin. She received psychological counseling for three months, and then she completely came out of the role and began to embrace her relatives and friends around her.

Do you think Wang Quan went to sleep with women this time?

Wrong, he was using his body to help Sissi with public relations!

The movie was released in China and the United States in November. The film won many outpost and vane awards along the way. Now it's just missing the Oscar.

Wang Quan hopes that Sissi can complete the Grand Slam of Oscar + Golden Globe + European Three Golds!

This is also the highest honor that European and American actors can get. Only Julian Moore has achieved this achievement before.

After arriving at the place, Wang Quan put down his mobile phone with one hand and pulled it out of Sydney's shirt with the other hand.

Sydney already knew the theme of the night. She felt that she was 1.6 meters tall and came here to humiliate herself.

Facing Taylor Swift who was 1.8 meters tall, she felt too much pressure.

And there was more than one Taylor Swift tonight. She also saw supermodel Kendall, who was also 1.8 meters tall and was also King David's old lover.

Wang Quan hugged Kendall, and saw Anya Taylor-Joy also coming over.

"This one is not 1.8 meters tall."

Taylor Swift hugged Anya's shoulders: "But Anya's fighting ability is obvious to all, right."

Anya smiled mischievously, and then Maya Hawke, who was about the same height as Anya, also walked slowly.

She is an actor, model, and also a second-generation star. Her father is Ethan Hawke, who has starred in the "The Purge" series, and her mother is Uma Thurman, who starred in the famous "Kill Bill" and "Pulp Fiction", and has a close relationship with Harvey.

Maya is a bit like her mother when she was young, but her mother was more beautiful when she was young. Uma was simply a beauty at that time, but it was a pity that the blooming period was too short.

If she could be as resistant to aging as Charlize Theron, Wang Quan would probably get to know her mother first.

Wang Quan and Maya Hawke met because of the casting of "Inception 2". Although she was not used in the end, as her idol, Wang Quan did not need to take the initiative to sleep with her. She just gave it to him for free.

Maya felt that she was much luckier than her mother. Compared with King David and Harvey, the dead fat pig, she was simply a god from heaven!

Behind Maya came Marina Kostina, a 2003 Ukrainian girl, a supermodel.

She has an angelic face like a child, an impressive height of 177CM and a devilish figure.

She originally came to apply for Wang Quan's assistant, but her English was average, so she lost to Sydney girl, but she also won life.

Young and ignorant, she quickly became Wang Quan's woman, and with the relationship between Wang Quan and Kendall, she became a rising star in the supermodel world. She no longer has to go back to Kiev to suffer.

Although Marina is nearly 1.8 meters tall, she is less than 1.8 meters after all.

"Taylor, your 180cm surprise is not good enough."

"Don't worry, there are others!" Taylor gritted her teeth. If it weren't for the inspiration of hatred and jealousy, she wouldn't organize such an event, and she would find new people for this guy!

Wang Quan joked: "It won't be Nicole, she probably can't play with you at her age."

As he was talking, a slender girl with curly hair who looked as tall as Taylor and Kendall walked in.

Wang Quan was stunned when he saw her, "Dava!"

...

On January 18, after Sissi was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar, Wang Quan prepared to return to China. The Spring Festival in 2023 came earlier, and he was going back to celebrate the New Year.

This year's Oscars are eye-opening. Two Chinese actresses were nominated at once, one was Liu Yifei from "Crime" and the other was Yang Ziqiong from "The Blink of an Eye".

Moreover, the two movies almost led the entire awards ceremony. At the Golden Globe Awards, Sissi won the Best Actress in a Drama Series, and Yang Ziqiong won the Best Actress in a Musical Comedy Series.

On the plane, Sissi and Mimi had fallen asleep, and Xiaoxianmi and Bayi were playing together.

The two-and-a-half-year-old chubby little boy really makes people like and annoy, and he is very naughty. Fortunately, Xiaoxianmi is patient, and sometimes he really gets angry, so the brother is very obedient in front of his sister.

The reason why the whole family took a plane this time was mainly because the Wang family had more children.

The last time I went back to China, after several days of hard work, Da Meiyuan and Zilin both won the bid. While the belly is not big now, Wang Quan has to give an explanation to their families when he returns to China this time.

I just don’t know how angry Nazha would be if she knew: I was here first!

While the children were playing, Wang Quan opened his phone and started reading a novel.

Recently, a type of online literature has quietly emerged and quickly became a hit on many websites such as Qidian. Even Wang Quan was fascinated by it.

This category is called "Siheyuan Literature".

In short, it is a fan fiction of Qiankun’s once tepid period drama "Love in Siheyuan".

Because the plot of this drama made the audience feel very depressed and angry after the short video explanation, the creator seized this point and magnified it, thus well channeling the readers' emotions and creating a refreshing feeling of relieving anger.

Of course, this drama has many beauties, and allowing the male protagonist to take in a girl is also a major attraction.

Compared with the original version, Qiankun is more willing to spend money on the film, and the actors used are more interesting.

Except for the female lead Hao Lei (Qin Huairu) who remains unchanged, the remaining female second has become Dong Xuan (Lou Xiao'e).

There are also well-known actresses such as Huo Siyan (Qin Jingru), Ran Qiuye (Zeng Li), Yu Li (Zhang Tong), Yu Haitang (Wang Ou), and He Yushui (Yuan Shanshan) joining.

It can be said that the time-traveling male protagonists have taken in everyone, and there are also many who have taken in all of them.

Based on the popularity of several female protagonists, the Qin Huairu faction, Lou Xiaoe faction, and Ran Qiuye faction are the most powerful.

The role of the good teacher Ran Qiuye is not much, but the female protagonist Zeng Li has been very popular in the past two years and has filmed many influential dramas. Of course, this is thanks to Wang Quan.

In middle age, Zeng Li has also come to terms with it. After eating vegetarian food for so many years, she also wants to eat meat. Great!

The Lou Xiaoe faction is jokingly called "poking holes" by readers.

Wang Quan does not envy the male protagonist in the book at all for poking holes, because he has poked holes in reality.

It's all Yaya's fault. She has to play the twins game. Don't say it, some angles are really a bit similar, especially when stacked.

~

After the plane landed, Wang Quan first settled his family, and then took gifts to his senior sister's house. She now lives with her parents.

The result was naturally not a good face, but the incident had already happened, and Wang Quan was determined not to get married, but was willing to take all the responsibilities as a father.

They had no choice. If the incident got out, their daughter would be considered a third party. Their family cared about face.

After all, everyone knew about Wang Quan and Liu Yifei's relationship, and all they needed was a certificate.

Zhang Zilin thought: Third party? I'm afraid it won't be my turn until I'm thirty!

However, she was very excited about having a baby. With her physique, the weight of the baby she gave birth to should be more than Bayi.

Next was Da Meiyuan's family. This was a scholar's family, and Da Meiyuan's brother was the one in charge.

Da Meiyuan was also worried about getting married. Although she still couldn't get married, at least she had a child, so she wouldn't be alone in the future.

So they were still polite to Wang Quan.

When only Wang Quan and Da Meiyuan were left, he listened to the movement of Da Meiyuan's belly and laughed, "I just don't know which one is older, this one or Zilin's."

Da Meiyuan suddenly thought of a question, "They are both from the same batch, so are they considered twins?"

"Uh, this..."

Wang Quan was thinking about this question when his sister-in-law knocked on the door and asked them to eat. She really treated him as her brother-in-law.

Wang Quan was also very sincere. He gave 1% of the shares of several domestic companies, ByteDance, Maoyan, Butian Film, Inception Animation, and Shiba Culture, to the two as a gift.

This ensures that even if one company has problems, it will not affect their lives and the children's lives. After the child is born, a trust fund will be arranged for multiple insurance.

Of these shares, the most valuable is of course ByteDance.

Now this company is flourishing both at home and abroad. Under the escort of February 2, Tik Tok is popular overseas. ByteDance alone is worth more than all the others combined. 1% is more than 10 billion.

And Douyin has not yet gone public. Of course, it may not go public in the future. After all, the cash flow is too abundant and there is no shortage of money to develop new businesses.

1% is not a small amount. The founder Zhang Yiming only has 21% of the shares.

Even if Wang Quan gives out a few more 1%, he still has absolute control over ByteDance. However, except for Nazha, who has a deep relationship with her, Wang Quan should not be so willing to give up if there is such a situation in the future. After all, he is only worth trillions.

After returning to China, the nominations for the 5th Golden Bamboo Awards were also announced. Although Wang Quan did not release any works last year, he won the Golden Bamboo Award for Best Film for the second time with "Small Town Test Taker".

However, the best director was given to Zhang Jingchu of "Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin". It is estimated that it will be difficult for anyone to surpass her achievements of having both the best director and the best actress.

In addition, Ren Suxi also won the Best Actress Award with "Small Town Test Taker", defeating Chen Duling's "Liang and Lin", Wan Qian's "Rabbit Violence", Zhang Xiaofei's "Hello, Li Huanying" and Zhang Zifeng's "My Sister".

Wang Quan was ultimately unable to achieve the feat of stacking several Golden Bamboo Award winners together. Dudu and Wan Qian said they were incompetent and were willing to be caned.

Last year, the Best Actor was a weak year. Even Wu Jing was nominated for "Watergate Bridge". In addition, there was Chen Jianbin, who directed and starred in "The Eleventh Chapter", newcomer Zhang Xincheng for "Small Town Test-taker", Zhu Yilong for "Liang Yu Lin" and Deng Chao for "Take Her Eyes".

The five people had similar chances of winning, and no one was particularly outstanding. In the end, Deng Chao became the first of the four young actors to win the Golden Bamboo Award for Best Actor.

Zhang Xincheng won the Best Newcomer Award, which was also the last Newcomer Award.

The most notable feature of the fifth Golden Bamboo Award this year was that the Best Newcomer Award and Best New Director Award, which could not get five people every time, were removed, and the Best Foreign Language Film and Lifetime Achievement Award were added.

As the world's largest market, a market that even Hollywood has to lick, everyone thinks it is normal for the Golden Bamboo Award to have a Best Foreign Language Film.

Moreover, this award requires the film company to apply for registration, and it does not need to be released in China. In addition to several works of the Dragon Head Rising, Hollywood companies have also actively responded, and Japanese, Korean, European, Latin American, and African companies have also actively submitted their films for review.

If you win the award, it means high box office and high copyrights to be released in the mainland in the future. This is a shortcut to enter the world's largest market!

In the end, five films were shortlisted, namely "Crime" from the United States, "The Banshee of Inishelin" from Ireland, "The Tragic Triangle" from Sweden, "Donkey's Call" from Poland, and "The Decision to Break Up" from Korea.

Now the Sino-Korean relations have eased somewhat, and the ban on Korean culture is not as strict as before. Yoona and IU have come here to hold several concerts.

It is called a concert, but in fact it is a meeting with lovers. By the way, Wang Quan also sent a newcomer named Zhang Yuanying to Wang Quan. Wang Quan likes to see Yingzi turn around and twist her hips, and likes her Qingdao dialect with a Korean accent even more.

And even if it is not loose, the heroine of "Decision to Break Up" is Chinese actress Tang Wei. If she wins the award, she can go on stage to receive the award.

Hollywood newcomer A24's "Blinking Universe" also signed up, but perhaps the style is not well accepted in China, and it was not nominated in the end.

In fact, there is another point that has been repeatedly discussed this year, that is, whether Chinese people like Liu Yifei, Tang Wei, and Yang Ziqiong who have excellent performances in foreign films can be nominated for acting awards.

Or, if they are foreigners, but have excellent performances in Chinese films, can they be nominated.

In other words, whether to achieve the level of openness of the Oscars.

The final result of the discussion was that the time was not ripe yet. When Chinese-language films have a greater international influence and the Golden Bamboo Award needs to spread its influence abroad, that will be the time.

Wang Quan actually didn't pay much attention to this year's Golden Bamboo Award, not because he had no works nominated.

It was mainly because there was no one he loved among the female protagonists, not even one!

He provided them with such good resources. Throughout the 22 years, Zhao Jinmai starred in "The Wandering Earth 2", Nazha starred in "All or Nothing", Yaya starred in "The Three-Body Problem 2", Meng Ziyi starred in "River God 2", Chen Yao starred in "The Dumb House", Wen Yongshan partnered with Huang Bo to star in "Muye Weird Things", and Zeng Li starred in "The Journey Home".

The best resources of the year were all given to them, but in the end, not a single one was nominated.

These people, who don't make progress, will all be whipped!

Just when Wang Quan was hesitating whether to let Yaya call her twin sister Xuanzi out, or let Zeng Li call Xuanzi to cosplay Love in the Courtyard, WeChat on his mobile phone rang.

It was Cheng Chen's. She told Wang Quan: Big bad guy, my sister and I are home. My sister is asleep.

Cheng Chen is now a freshman at Beijing Film Academy. Wang Quan couldn't help but recall the time when Chenchen came to Beijing Film Academy to take the art exam last year.

Compared with the fake sisters Yaya and Dong Xuan, the two of them are obviously more attractive.

Many of Wang Quan's girls have returned to their hometowns now. In the past, they might have to fight for money at the end of the year and participate in the local TV Spring Festival Gala to earn money. Now there is no need at all. They don't care about that little money.

Of course, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is an exception. Even if it is lonely, the Spring Festival Gala still has some influence.

However, among Wang Quan's people this year, only Ma Fanshu appeared on the Spring Festival Gala as a host. Yaya felt boring and stressed after two years, so she stopped going and concentrated on being an actor.

But some people are unwilling to go back to their hometowns because they don't want to face those boring relatives during the Spring Festival, so they would rather go home at off-peak times and stay in Beijing during the Spring Festival.

When there are more people, they get together and spend time together, which can be regarded as a kind of group warmth.

Because they know that their gods must be with Xianmi and their children at this time.

However, Wang Quan did not neglect them. Everyone was given a big red envelope and agreed to watch a movie together tomorrow.

The closer it is to 2025, the more interested Wang Quan is in movies, because the movies shown in the cinema are often movies that he has never seen or even heard of, which are full of freshness.

Let's talk about this year's Spring Festival.

"Nezha: The Devil Boy Conquers the Dragon King", "The Lost Story", "The Dumb House 2", "Monster Hunt 3", all of which are not in the film and television library.

Even the named "Nameless", "Exchange Life" and "Mr. Red Carpet" are quite different from Wang Quan's impression through the comparison of trailers and cast.

For example, Dapeng did not participate in Bona's "Nameless", because this Spring Festival he and Shen Teng co-directed a movie of the same name adapted from the classical book "The Lost Story".

The film intercepted the legend of Qin Shihuang's encounter with aliens and gave a new interpretation. It is a subversive comedy.

This was Wang Quan's original idea when he created "Xiao Yao You". He was going to make it into a drama and gave it to his father for free.

As a director, Dapeng's name came before Shen Teng, but as an actor, Shen Teng was the first one, playing an alien, who could foresee the future and spoiled the Qin Dynasty's demise at the hands of Hu Hai to Qin Shi Huang in advance, which was a bit like the spoiler-filled online article Wang Quan had read recently.

The second one was Wang Qiankun, who played Qin Shi Huang. Old Wang, who was born a peasant, finally played a big man.

Dapeng himself played the role of Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin. He finally had the opportunity to call Lao Wang "Dad" openly.

This movie is also what Wang Quan is most looking forward to. The size of the comedy is really difficult to grasp, and the comedy styles of Da Shen and Shen Tong are also different. I don’t know if they are compatible.

However, the two have known each other for many years. Shen Tong starred in this drama as early as the period of "Diaosi Man".

In the courtyard, Wang Quan and his family were having New Year's Eve dinner. The TV was on, showing the Spring Festival Gala, but even Lao Wang and Mei Yanqiu, who had watched it for more than thirty years, did not look at the direction of the TV, just to catch some movement.

In their eyes, they both have a beautiful granddaughter who looks like a little fairy and a fat grandson that everyone loves.

The main topic of conversation during the dinner was about movies. Lao Wang joined the Spring Festival melee as an actor and would start a road show tomorrow. Mei Yanqiu complained that he was so old and why was he so tired?

Lao Wang said: "My fans miss me, and I have to run the business well and produce more hits. Since my son doesn't want to take over, I will let my grandson take over from me in the future."

After saying this, Lao Wang suddenly realized that Mimi was also there, and hurriedly added: "Grandchildren, whoever wants to take over can take over."

As a competitor of Qiankun, Yang Mi, the CEO of Power World, said: "The granddaughter will belong to someone else from now on, and that's just water thrown away. It's better to let the grandson take over, right baby."

Bayi rubbed his fat head on Yang Mi's arm: "Mommy, I want to eat chicken legs."

Damimi: "Okay, Mommy will pinch it for you."

Because when Wang Shiguang's child was more than one year old and he was remembering things and people, Liu Yifei didn't spend enough time with him for more than half a year.

On the other hand, Yang Mi went home every day while filming "Pacific Rim 3". After filming was completed, she lived in Los Angeles to take care of her children, so this fat boy was closer to his honey mother.

Liu Yifei felt that she was taking revenge on herself for taking away her daughter's love.

But it didn't matter, Xiaoxianmi still loved herself the most. She quickly wiped the corners of Xiaoxianmi's mouth. Both mother and daughter were wearing parent-child clothes.

This year, "Monster Hunt 3" did not advertise on the Spring Festival Gala, but the publicity and distribution budget was not much higher than that of the second part, and the momentum was even greater.

In order to compete with "Monster Hunt 3", the publicity and distribution fees for "The Devil", "The Lost Story", "The Mute House 2" and other works have also increased a lot, and they have to be rolled up together.

Mr. Jiang from Anle Pictures said that the money spent by Americans is a pleasure!

The "Monster Hunt 3" project can continue this time mainly because Anle has received investment from Universal. It is not an investment company. This country has regulations, but it can invest in individual projects.

Then Jiang Zhiqiang personally brought the script to plead with Ni Ni to ensure that Ni Ni's status would not be upstaged by Tony Leung, and the film's salary would also be an unprecedented 50 million + global box office dividends.

Because of Shuangzi's sky-high salary and tax evasion and other issues, the industry usually doesn't dare to pay such a high salary.

Liu Ye and Li Bingbing both received 100 million yuan for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 4", but the salary was reduced in "Ghost Blowing Lantern 4" and "Ghost Blowing Lantern 4" 6, and they were compensated with a share of the box office. This is basically how the industry treats big names now.

At that time, Ni Ni had just signed a contract as the heroine of "Ready Player One 2" and was informed by the world.

Jiang Zhiqiang is optimistic about her potential to go global, so he has a very good attitude and basically responds to Ni Ni's requests.

Ni Ni reluctantly agreed, and also brought He Song's Yang Yutong to play an important supporting role.

It's not because she got a lot of Hesong's shares, it's mainly because of Master Wang Quan's request. Sister Yutong is the new sister in the palace.

Even though Mr. Quan is in the United States, he is really busy when he returns to China occasionally. There are several new people in the palace.

Now He Song is preparing to remake Legend of Sword and Fairy, and I heard that Yang Yutong is planning to play Zhao Ling'er.

As a good friend of Liu Yifei, Ni Ni thinks sister Yutong is beautiful, but she really doesn't have the fairy spirit of Sissi.

Since Sissi acted in "Crime", Ni Ni feels that she has become a god in his heart.

There will be a road show tomorrow. Yang Yutong will live directly at Ni Ni's house today and set off together tomorrow morning.

Yang Yutong is still a little reserved. Ni Ni is not only a senior, but also the boss of the company. Even if they have served as a powerful director together, there will still be a sense of class gap.

Therefore, she could chat better with her young friends, and she got excited while lying on the bed chatting with the sisters in the little wives group.

She also joined this organization, and almost all the 11 beautiful girls from that year joined.

She, Wang Churan, Zhang Jingyi, and Yang Chaoyue were the most active tonight.

Because she is the heroine of "Monster Hunt 3", Zhang Jingyi is the heroine of "Unknown", Wang Churan is the heroine of "Silly House 2", and Yang Chaoyue is the heroine of "The Lost Story".

Yang Chaoyue: Actually I don’t have many roles, mainly watching Brother Teng, Brother Peng and my husband.

The old father-in-law is naturally Wang Qiankun. Once Wang Quan and Chaoyue were kissing passionately in the office and Lao Wang saw him. Lao Wang was very angry. Why didn't he catch up with the good times? Now Gong Xie, Zhu Lin, and He Qing are all old. !

However, they are angry but also somewhat relieved. With their sons protecting them, these girls must be much happier than other girls in the entertainment industry.

So he also gave Chaoyue a lot of resources, which increased her happiness index.

From then on, Lao Wang often encountered Wang Quan and being intimate with different young actresses on the royal road, which made Lao Wang very worried. How could he have so many resources?

Under this circumstance, Wang Quan picked some ideas from his creative notes and helped Qiankun plan "The Supplementary Notes" in which Qin Shihuang fights aliens.

As the four of them were chatting, Hu Lianxin suddenly said, "Did everyone watch "The World" today? I'm going to make an appearance!"

This CCTV drama that opened the year was a big hit, and it is also a classic that can be watched repeatedly. In it, Hu Lianxin plays Zeng Li's daughter, Zeng Li plays Lei Jiayin's sister, and Yaya plays Lei Jiayin's wife.

Zeng Li is now old, and basically plays such mother-in-law roles. Yang Chaoyue just filmed a new work "Hot" in the greenhouse, in which Zeng Li plays her future mother-in-law.

Although Yang Yutong and Yang Chaoyue are so happy in the group, the top seed of the Spring Festival is not their movie, but "Nezha: The Devil Boy Conquers the Dragon King".

The next morning, before the cinema opened, the movie had already had 400 million pre-sales. The touching and joy that "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" brought to the audience still remain in their hearts, and many children have grown up and miss the Devil Boy even more.

Even though "Ne Zha" has now dropped to the eighth place in film history, the number of moviegoers ranks fourth, second only to "Happy Journey 2, 3" and "Wolf Warrior 2", and its influence has not diminished for many years.

After the first day of the Chinese New Year, "Ne Zha" won the single-day box office championship with 811 million, and "Shi Yi Ji" followed closely with 525 million. The combination of Dapeng + Shen Teng did not fall behind, and Qin Shi Huang and aliens seemed to be very compatible.

The rest of "Monster Hunt 3" and "Dumb House 2" also had a single-day performance of more than 200 million.

The box office during the Spring Festival has been ups and downs, and this year it finally set a new record, breaking through 2 billion in a single day!

It is about equivalent to 300 million US dollars. The highest single-day box office in the North American market is only 150 million, which is equivalent to half of the first day of the Chinese New Year.

The saying "There is strength in numbers" has become concrete at this moment, and many entertainment media in the United States reported this news.

Wang Quan had a very fulfilling first day of the Chinese New Year. He watched "Ne Zha" and "Shi Yi Ji" and was very satisfied with them.

If there are more, I can't finish watching them. After all, today is not just about watching movies. The most important thing today is to accompany and give the girls who stay in Beijing for the New Year a little warmth at 37 degrees.

Because the Spring Festival this year is early, the second month of the second dragon is also early.

When Wang Quan celebrated his birthday, he was already in Los Angeles. After all, the post-production of "Inception 2" cannot be separated from him as a director.

However, he did not bring his family this time. Xianmi was in Beijing. After celebrating their birthdays with Taozi, it was almost the day of the Golden Bamboo Award.

Wang Quan hesitated for a while and went back. Although he wanted the Golden Bamboo Award to get rid of Wang Quan's mark, the Golden Bamboo Award still needs Wang Quan's influence at this stage.

Moreover, the Best Foreign Language Film and Lifetime Achievement Award were added for the first time this year. It is reasonable for him to go back and present this award to the teacher.

The Lifetime Achievement Award has been determined to be awarded to Teacher Xie Fei. This is not selected by more than 2,000 members, so Wang Quan knew it in advance.

But he didn't know who the Best Foreign Language Film would be. However, if this award is not given to "Crime", I am afraid that the people of the whole country will not agree.

Some people say that this award was set up this year to reward "Crime".

In the end, the Golden Bamboo Award did not disappoint the people of the country, and "Crime" won the award!

Britt Marling and Liu Yifei went on stage to receive the new award.

Marling spoke a long paragraph in Mandarin and thanked many people, while Liu Yifei only said one sentence: Thank you Zhang Chunru for your contribution to exposing the crimes of the Japanese invaders!

At this time, Saito Asuka, who was an international guest in the audience, felt that many eyes around her were staring at her, making her feel like a thorn in her back, sitting on pins and needles, and having a lump in her throat.

Don't mess with me, my mother is Burmese, and I am only half Japanese!

Nazha, who played in "All or Nothing", stared at her. Burmese people are also unforgivable. Telephone fraud kills people!

Saito Asuka looked helplessly at Wang Quan, who was like a god in the front row. She was conquered by Wang Quan when Japan attended Satoshi Kon's funeral, so she had the opportunity to represent the Japanese sister group to attend the Golden Bamboo Award.

Last year, director Satoshi Kon finally failed to defeat pancreatic cancer again and passed away. As a close friend and confidant, Wang Quan put down his filming work and went to Tokyo.

Umekawa Hideo knew that Wang Quan needed to vent when he was sad, so he chose this petite girl named Asuka so that the squad leader could stand and hold her up and rush.

After that, various awards were presented in turn. "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Safe Escape from the 21st Century" won multiple technical awards. Wang Quan also personally presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Teacher Xie Fei.

Two years ago, Teacher Xie's mother passed away at the age of 108. It felt that Teacher Xie suddenly aged a lot after that. When his parents were alive, he would always be a child. When his parents passed away, he began to think about his own death.

Then it was the turn of several major awards. First, Xu Zheng defeated Wu Renlin, Zhu Yilong, Huang Bo, and Huang Xuan with "Love Mythology" produced by himself and won the Best Actor Award.

This also made up for his regret of losing to You Benchang in the first session.

Yang Enyou was nominated for Best Actress for her performance in "Life Events". She was only eight years old when she filmed the movie and is only 10 years old this year.

She is the youngest nominee for the Golden Bamboo Awards, while Wu Yanshu became the oldest nominee at the age of 85 for "Mom!"

There were three other nominees: Hai Qing, Zhou Xun, and Xi Meijuan.

The winner was Wu Yanshu. It's a pity that there is no Best New Actor Award now, otherwise Yang Enyou would have won it.

The five nominees for the best director this time are Zhang Yimou for "Red River", Li Ruijun for "Hidden in the Dust", Li Yang for "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century", Shao Yihui for "Love Mythology" and Liu Jiangjiang for "Life Events".

I didn't expect that the best new director award had just been withdrawn, and there was a big explosion of new directors this year. Among the five nominees, Li Yang, Shao Yihui and Liu Jiangjiang are all new directors.

Although Li Ruijun is not a new director, he is very young, and this is the first time he has been out of the circle.

Seeing Zhang Yimou, Wang Quan felt ashamed. Old Zhang can basically produce one film every year, and he also has to be highly involved in supervising one film for his daughter, but he has changed it to one film every two years.

But then he thought again, they both have four children, but Old Mouzi has only one little wife, but he has many little wives, so one film every two years is enough.

The final winner was Zhang Yimou, who is also the only director who has won the Golden Bamboo Award for Best Director twice.

"Man Jiang Hong" not only had a high box office, but Zhang Yimou also creatively used the one-shot shooting technique in the film, which was the first in Chinese films.

Although the film had 18 hidden editing points in 130 minutes, the shooting was still surprisingly difficult. He wanted to give up several times, but fortunately Wang Quan gave him enough support.

The key is to take one shot to the end while taking into account the fluency and fun of the story, which is particularly rare and the key to box office success.

Zhang Yimou held the trophy with a bright smile like an old farmer holding a watermelon. He sincerely thanked all the crew members and then solemnly thanked Wang Quan separately.

"The ending plan of this film was provided by him, and the audience liked it very much."

The original script was that Sun Jun spared Qin Hui's life, on the grounds that he wanted him to be despised by the world and to make him live more painful than death, and then ran away.

The audience naturally couldn't understand that with Qin Hui's face, he was still afraid of that.

But Qin Hui really couldn't die, otherwise it would be historical nihilism, and the Film Bureau would not be able to get through.

Many viewers are so smart that they can let the fake Qin Hui live instead of the real Qin Hui. Anyway, Qin Hui must die!

Film Bureau: You are so smart, right? Send it back for reshoot!

Wang Quan changed Qin Hui to the peace envoy. If he died, it might lead to the Jin army's rash southward slaughter. For the sake of peace, Sun Jun chose to give up killing Qin Hui.

But before leaving, he led all the hundreds of soldiers upstairs, let them see the ugly appearance of Qin Hui's pants peeing and the existence of the substitute, and also made them realize that the person who just recited "Man Jiang Hong" was not the real Qin Hui, but a substitute puppet controlled by Qin Hui.

The puppet was still inspired by General Yue's spirit, let alone the soldiers. The contempt and hatred for Qin Xiang in the eyes of the soldiers could no longer be concealed.

After this incident, Qin Hui will inevitably die socially, and "Man Jiang Hong" will also spread throughout the world.

Although there are still some dissatisfactions, movies are not online articles after all, and they cannot be arbitrary. This is the best effort that can be made without changing the direction of history.

Although "Man Jiang Hong" allowed Lao Mouzi to win the Best Director award for the second time, the final Best Film was awarded to "Hidden in the Dust", which had a box office of only over 100 million yuan, which surprised many netizens.

Among the seven nominated films this year, compared with "Man Jiang Hong", "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century", "Life Events", "Love Mythology", "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Wade Through the Angry Sea", "Hidden in the Dust" has the lowest box office, but it has caused no less discussion and scolding online.

It is rare for a niche art film to do this, and even though so many people scold it, the ratings of this film have remained high on major movie platforms.

Although it was almost banned later, fortunately Wang Quan said that he would protect this film that has nothing to do with the Wang Dao system, and let the film smoothly enter the Golden Bamboo Award evaluation process.

To be honest, Wang Quan was very happy. The Golden Bamboo Awards have been held for five times. The best films of the previous four awards were "Dying to Survive", "Happy Journey 3", "Su Dongpo" and "Small Town Test-taker". This time, a film other than Wang Dao finally won the highest honor.

Chinese-language films should not and cannot be monopolized by Wang Dao alone!

Even if "Into the Dust" is not perfect, it will make some viewers who think that the country is strong, perfect, awesome and rich feel smeared, but these films that focus on the grassroots people should be allowed to exist.

After the Golden Bamboo Awards, Wang Quan stayed for two days and then returned to Los Angeles with Liu Yifei. A few days later, the 95th Academy Awards ceremony officially opened.

Long Taiyang made a lot of efforts for "Crime" to win the award, and the important thing is that it really let the Western world know the inhuman crimes of the Japanese invaders in China.

As for the result, we will do our best and leave it to fate.

The Best Actress awards were presented by Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron.

When Wang Quan heard the names "Crystal Liu" and "Liu Yifei" from them, he hugged his wife tightly and kissed her passionately.

Taozi also took advantage of their camera and kissed Xiao K.

Yang Mi, Ni Ni and others who were watching the live broadcast in China were all moved to tears.

Xiao Xianmi handed a tissue to her mother, "You also think my Xianma is excellent, right?"

Yang Mi snorted, "These are tears of jealousy."

In addition to the Best Actress, "Crime" also won the Best Picture, and there were some other awards such as Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing. A total of seven awards, it was the well-deserved biggest winner of the night.

The first Chinese Oscar winner, the first Asian Oscar winner, the second Oscar winner + Golden Globe winner + European three-gold winner in the world, and the first winner to win all the Western awards and Golden Horse and Golden Image winners.

Except for the unattainable Golden Rooster Award, Liu Yifei only needs a Golden Bamboo Award to be perfect.

Next, she plans to return to Chinese-language films, but before that, she has to shoot "Lucy the Witch 2". Taozi has begged her for a long time, almost kneeling down to lick her.

Black Widow: I want Boss Tao to beg me like this too!

Wang Quan is also preparing to return to Chinese-language films after completing all the post-production of "Inception 2", but at this time, more than half of 2023 has passed, and the summer season is over.

There is not much time left before the release of "Inception 2", so he plans to take a break for a while, wait for "Inception 2" to be released, and then shoot a new film next year, anyway, it will be released in 25 years.

This year's summer season is not as strong as last year's. Last year, four summer movies entered the top ten of the year, but this year there are only two. The main reason is that "Wolf Warrior 3" is too strong, leaving no room for other movies.

I thought that "Nezha: The Devil Boy Conquers the Dragon King", which ranked second in film history with 5.829 billion, was strong enough, but I didn't expect "Wolf Warrior 3" to be even better, and the release of the film coincided with the country's crackdown on fraud groups in northern Myanmar, making it known to the whole nation.

So the box office exploded all of a sudden, and it was unstoppable!

Of course, this is not a coincidence, it was all designed, and the country is willing to let "Wolf Warrior 3" take advantage of this popularity, so as to use the entertainment method of movies to declare China's strong and iron-blooded wrist to neighboring countries and forces.

In addition to the general trend, the cast of "Wolf Warrior 3" is also remarkable. Yu Nan, who returned, plays the leading role. The film also linked with last year's dark horse "All or Nothing", allowing Nazha and Zhang Yixing to guest star in the film.

The supporting actors are also well-known actors with good reputation and acting skills.

In addition, the film's villain Wu Jing asked Wang Quan to help, and asked Manny Pacquiao, the world boxing champion who had just retired and was running for the presidency of the Philippines.

This time, Leng Feng was almost beaten to death by this villain before he finally won.

Wang Quan heard that he had a fight with Pacquiao, and as for the result, he said to Wang Quan: The young are afraid of the strong.

Wu Jing is four years older than Pacquiao.

When the movie was released, Pacquiao had become the president of the Philippines with the help of the February 2nd Consortium, and Pacquiao's influence in Southeast Asia also made the film achieve overseas box office results far exceeding the second part.

The box office of 6.682 billion in the mainland was 1 billion more than the first part, and the overseas box office also exceeded 230 million US dollars, making "Wolf Warrior 3" the second highest-grossing Chinese film in the world after the "Happy Journey" trilogy.

In addition to "Wolf Warrior 3", the second place in the summer season "Fengshen 2" is only half of "Wolf Warrior 3". In addition, "In the Octagon" and "Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an" have also won about 2 billion box office with their reputation.

Baoqiang finally stood up this time, and Zhuiguang no longer has to worry about funding issues and can challenge Daomeng.

When Wang Quan returned to China, September was already halfway through and the National Day holiday was coming soon.

It is said that director Kai Ge was very envious of the good results of "Changjin Lake" that year, so he cooperated with China Film and prepared to independently direct a series of films showing the panoramic view of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

After two years of preparation and shooting, the film was renamed several times and finally decided to be "Volunteer Army: Heroic Soldiers Attack", the first part of the trilogy.

The two main competitors of "Volunteer Army" in the National Day holiday are somewhat related to Wang Quan.

One is "Hot" directed by Dapeng, Zeng Li and Yang Chaoyue both participated.

This guy is really energetic. At the beginning of the year, he had "The Lost Story" with a box office of 4.1 billion yuan. Not long ago, he also won the Best Actor Award at the Shanghai International Film Festival ("The Eighth Suspect"), and now he has another directorial work released. At the end of the year, Dong Runnian's new work "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" is also starring him. He is almost the same as himself back then.

For Zeng Li and Chao Yue, Wang Quan also has to support the premiere.

The other one is Jiang Wen's new film "Solid as a Rock" which fans are looking forward to.

Originally, when he was approached for this script, he felt that he couldn't shoot it and had already turned it down.

Later, Cao Baoping shot "Death Prisoner" and Shen Ao shot "Huugjilt" which was rejected. But after "All or Nothing" last year, it was rescheduled to November 23. The Film Bureau seems to be relaxing the bottom line.

So Jiang Wen, who couldn't find a good subject, took it over again and prepared to shoot this story in his own way.

Because Liu Shishi participated in this movie, and Wang Quan and Lao Jiang's friendship in the three "Xiaoyaoyou" movies, Wang Quan must also attend the show.

However, the popularity of the National Day holiday has been declining in the past two years. Wang Quan thinks that it is mainly due to the adjustment of holidays and the short holiday time. Workers are becoming more and more dissatisfied.

Consumption, what's the point of spending? It's better to stay at home and watch TV series and play games.

This year's National Day holiday did not make much waves. The best-performing "Solid as a Rock" only had 1.5 billion. Although it set the best record for director Jiang Wen, the gap between his box office and that of first-line directors has become larger and larger.

"Hot" ranked second with 1.3 billion, which did not reach the glory of "The Lost Story".

Dapeng and Shen Teng decided to continue to make a sequel to "The Lost Story". Many ancient stories in this ancient book are very suitable for magic transformation into comedy.

The worst is "The Volunteer Army", which has the largest investment, with only 1 billion box office. According to the statement of China Film Publicity, this box office has at least lost several hundred million.

As for "Sniper" produced by Zhang Yimou and directed by Zhang Mo, although it only had a box office of more than 600 million yuan and was not very eye-catching during the National Day, it was also low-cost and finally profitable.

Some people also said that the National Day was so cold mainly because the audience saved their ticket money to watch "Inception 2".

As usual, Wang Quan still did not choose the popular period this time, but put it in November, but in order to cooperate with the global publicity, it was put in late November.

After two months of decadence and empty nights, the long-awaited "Inception 2" by fans around the world is finally coming.

In the past two months, Nazha turned down all work and was always ready for Wang Quan, because Da Meiyuan and Zhang Zilin had already given birth, and she felt a sense of urgency.

The public popularity of these two people is different. Zhang Zilin gave birth quietly, but although Da Meiyuan gave birth very carefully, it was still spread everywhere on the Internet, but there were no real photos.

In fact, she was accidentally photographed with a big belly, but Wang Quan arranged a lot of bodyguards around her and bought the photos.

So there have always been only rumors, no solid evidence, and no one knows who the father of the child is. Netizens want to be irreconcilable with that person, and they can't find anyone to vent their dissatisfaction with the hatred of having their wife taken away.

In the last time before the movie was released, Da Meiyuan and Zhang Zilin were discharged from the confinement center, and Wang Quan basically ran between the two, accompanying one and the other.

At the same time, Wang Quan was very happy to have two daughters. He donated hundreds of millions to charity and asked his assistant to take a lot of photos of him hugging his two daughters.

Gao Yuanyuan's daughter Xinxin was born three days earlier than Zhang Zilin's daughter Pangmei, but she was smaller than her.

As expected of being born by Miss World, she is indeed as big as Bayi.

On November 20, Wang Quan first held a premiere of "Inception 2" in Beijing, and then immediately flew to Los Angeles to attend the global premiere of "Inception 2".

Only Cheng Long attended the domestic premiere, while at the global premiere, the three original cast members, Leo, Captain America Chris, and Iron Man Robert Downey Jr., all returned.

Wang Quan led the heroine Julia Butters into the venue.

This little girl was born in 2009 and is only 14 years old this year. Wang Quan changed the age of the heroine for her.

Her father is an animator at Illumination Entertainment and has participated in the two series of "Frozen" and "Zootopia".

She had previously worked with Leo in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and was selected by Spielberg to star in his "House of Dreams".

The reason why she was selected by so many big directors is definitely not because of the relationship with Illumination Entertainment, but more importantly, her beauty, temperament and natural acting skills.

Wang Quan is very optimistic that she will become the first actress of the next Hollywood era.

The little girl has obviously experienced a lot of big things. She follows Wang Quan without being surprised by honor or disgrace and is inseparable from him.

Big Brother Long seemed particularly excited. He had waited for so many years, but he didn't expect that he would finally return to the top of the film industry before he turned 70.

He was a guest star in the first "Inception" and the first "Ghost Blows Out the Light", but this time he is a serious male lead, ranking only after Leo and Captain America, and ranked third as a special starring role.

It's worth it that he gave up his power to the king who had not yet made a fortune. It turns out that men are still reliable friends when they are out!

Moreover, "Inception 2" is a top-level production in film history with a production cost of 320 million US dollars. It is a national sentimental work with almost no suspense that the box office will break 2 billion US dollars.

Cameron also attended the premiere. His "Avatar 3: Fire and Ash" will be released worldwide in four weeks.

At present, the global annual box office champion in 23 years is "Barbie" starring Gadot, the runner-up is "Super Mario Bros." of Illumination, and the third place is "Wolf Warrior 3".

There is no doubt that after the release of Inception 2 and Avatar 3, the rankings of these three movies will be moved back.

The only suspense is whether the annual box office champion will be Inception or Avatar.

The first time I watched Inception 2, Cameron was completely focused.

The first scene of the film amazed him. David Wang actually first filmed Cheng Long, who appeared as an NPC in the dream in the first film.

Cheng Long's cameo was quite amazing at the time. In addition, Governor Schwarzenegger also made a cameo appearance in a role similar to the Terminator.

Cheng Long plays a kung fu master in Chinatown, but recently he has been dreaming that Leo and Chris, who are doing tasks and involving him, appear in his dreams.

Wang Quan re-shot many shots according to the first film, but although the scenes are reproduced one by one, the perspective has become Cheng Long's perspective.

Wang Quan once again explained Zhuangzi's philosophy here. If I dream that I become a butterfly, will it be that the butterfly actually dreams of becoming me, Zhuang Zhou?

Although foreigners don't understand those, they think this idea is very good. It creates a huge suspense from the beginning, making people want to keep watching while enjoying the wonderful special effects.

Cameron couldn't help but sigh that Wang Quan is much better than himself in script writing.

But he doesn't think he will definitely lose. Being simple and brainless also has its advantages. After all, there are more people with mediocre qualifications in the world.

Although the victory or defeat of the two movies in the global box office is suspenseful, the box office in the mainland is obviously not suspenseful.

"Inception 2" broke the first day/single day box office record of "Escape 3" in the mainland in 2019 with a score of 1.05 billion on the first day.

In North America, the first day's box office also exceeded 110 million US dollars, only lower than "Avengers 4", "Spider-Man 3: No Return" and "The Force Awakens", ranking fourth in film history.

The North American media expected the North American box office of "Inception 2" to be as high as 700 million US dollars.

The North American box office of the first "Inception" was 650 million.

Wang Quan stayed in North America for a while and then took several actors to the mainland, and then went to Japan and South Korea, Europe, and Latin America.

In just three days, "Inception 2" swept 1 billion US dollars worldwide!

Whether in North America or the mainland, the box office forecast for "Inception 2" is adjusted upward.

Wang Quan spent a busy and fulfilling month, and then ushered in the release of "Avatar 3".

At this time, the mainland box office of "Inception 2" has reached 6.3 billion. Maoyan predicts that it is sometimes higher than "Wolf Warrior 3" and sometimes lower than "Wolf Warrior 3", but the position of "Xiaoyaoyou 3" is stable.

As for North America, it has already reached over 850 million, and is expected to exceed 900 million dollars. As long as "Avatar 3" does not explode, Wang Quan will occupy the first and second place in North American film history!

Entering 2024, after Wang Quan's eccentric efforts, Nazha is finally going to have a child.

At this time, no one knew that Nazha had been examined by a doctor in the hospital and confirmed that there was a little life in her belly, so she went to Wang Quan with the examination list.

"Husband, I'm here to tell you the good news!"

Wang Quan gently picked up Nazha: "Oh, you also know that "Inception 2" has surpassed "Avatar"!"

"Ah?"

Wang Quan laughed: "Actually, I was also surprised. It was mainly because the mainland market was strong, providing nearly 1 billion dollars, and North America also broke 900 million dollars. In addition to the popularity of other overseas markets, it has reached 2.96 billion dollars. But I think if you want to celebrate, you should wait until it breaks 3 billion. "

Nazha was impatient: "Who wants to listen to you? I want to say that I, I want to be a mother!"

Wang Quan: "What!"

In the end, "Inception 2" defeated "Wolf Warrior 3" with a slight advantage and won the 2023 mainland annual championship.

And defeated "Avatar 3" with a large advantage, winning the 23rd global annual championship.

The most surprising thing is the title of the global film history champion. Wang Quan finally got it for the first time. He is the world's number one director and has no shortcomings from now on!

There is no controversy!

In 24 years, in addition to accompanying Nazha during her pregnancy and childbirth, Wang Quan was busy filming the new film "Camel Xiangzi" adapted from Lao She's original novel of the same name. The male lead was decided to be Huang Xuan, the chosen great wronged man.

When the Dragon Raising Day in 25 years was approaching, Nazha was still breastfeeding, so she hesitated when faced with Jiang Shuying's proposal.

As Wang Quan's most intimate assistant, Jiang Shuying wanted to organize a birthday celebration for all members to wish Director Quan a long life on his 40th birthday.

The location was Taohua Island. During those days, the entire Taohua Island refused outsiders. At that time, all who could come would come, and it was estimated that there would be about a hundred people.

Finally, Nazha gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll go!" At worst, let her parents-in-law help.

After the Lantern Festival in 25 years, Wang Quan brought Xianmi and his two wives to the island.

A few days later, before the birthday, the staff were basically all there, with 92 people expected to come and 108 actually coming. Many people knew each other's existence for the first time, and all kinds of languages ​​and skin colors achieved harmonious coexistence here.

However, before Wang Quan started his large-scale fun, Wendy, who was in Los Angeles, called Dorothy in a very hurried tone.

"You are in Taohua Island, right? Are the supplies sufficient? That's good, that's good. If not, I will send them to you. Don't come back recently. Maryland suddenly had an epidemic and many people died..."

Wang Quan listened to Wendy describing the symptoms of the patients and thought, no way, no way, can't I avoid what is coming? ! !

(After the call, it's over! The sequel is probably about Wang Quan and more than 100 global beautiful stars living happily on an isolated island. Take a break and finish writing this comment later!
