You don't understand the happiness of the director

February 17th is New Year's Eve in Beijing.

On the 16th in Los Angeles, Wang Quan, who worked late into the night yesterday, woke up very early and went to the airport to pick someone up.

"Welcome, Teacher Xue." Wang Quan took Xue Xiaolu into his car.

"Oh, Director Wang, you are already driving a sports car. You are trying to intimidate the teacher." Xue Xiaolu joked.

Wang Quan laughed, "My Mazda has been sent for maintenance, otherwise I would drive that one."

"Don't worry, I've never been in such a high-end sports car. It's pretty good."

In the first production and screenwriting class organized by MPAA and Radio and Television, Xue Xiaolu performed best and got the opportunity to apply for a proposal to a major Hollywood studio. Although the chance of being selected was slim, she could have an in-depth understanding of the major Hollywood studios. workflow.

Wang Quan also fulfilled his agreement and took her to visit Longtou Pictures.

As is the tradition of most movie companies, the place where Long heads up and enters the house is also pasted with movie posters produced by the company. Currently, there are only two movies, "Escape Room" and "Juno", which are still relatively shabby.

But further inside there is a cabinet of honors, which contains almost all the honors obtained by "Juno", including the honors Wang Quan received as director, screenwriter, and editor, are also placed here.

Teacher Xue asked him to tell him about the origin and value of these awards. Wang Quan was embarrassed, but fortunately there was an assistant Anna beside him to speak on his behalf.

Teacher Xue’s English was pretty good and she could understand it completely. After a few words of emotion, she asked, “By the way, when will your latest vampire movie be released?”

King Quan, “Scheduled for June 15th.”

"Yeah, the summer season, the competition is fierce!"

Wang Quan smiled and nodded, and he chose a soft persimmon for "Twilight".

Later, Wang Quan asked Xue Xiaolu about the status of her proposal. She took out her laptop and asked Wang Quan for reference. "The company I chose to propose is the Columbia Company. Compared to other companies, this company has done more projects in Asia."

Wang Quan nodded. After all, it was acquired by Neon Sony. Columbia had done many Asian projects, including "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Big Shot", "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", etc. Later, it was so miserably cheated by mainland companies that it became indifferent. .

Although the protagonist of Xue Xiaolu's script is Chinese, she placed the background in the United States, which feels a bit like Feng Xiaogang's "See You or Separate". However, because she has no overseas life experience, the writing is relatively suspended.

Wang Quan also told the truth, and Teacher Xue didn't mind, saying that she only created the script recently and it was indeed unpolished.

As for the three-view issue reflected in this story, Wang Quan is a man, and some movies may be for women. He can't stand it, but female audiences like it, so what can he say?

For example, "Pretty Woman", which tells the love story between a successful man and a prostitute, is awkward as a man, but it does not affect its global sales and is deeply loved by female audiences.

"By the way, the Consulate General invited us to make dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight. You can bring your friends. Do you want to go with us?" Wang Quan asked.

Teacher Xue waved his hand, "I guess I can sleep for 24 hours now. I was so excited that I didn't fall asleep on the plane. If I watch another Spring Festival Gala, I will have to stay up all night again."

"Okay then, I wish your next proposal will be successful." Wang Quan said goodbye to Teacher Xue, and then asked Anna to take him to the Consulate General.

"Counselor Zhao, hello."

"Welcome, Director Wang!" Counselor Zhao, who looked young, said with a smile, "It's great to have you here today."

It feels like Counselor Zhao is already a little polite to foreigners towards the royal power. Does this mean that he already has the value of united front?

Wang Quan smiled and said, "No, it's my honor to celebrate the New Year with you all."

After Wang Quan entered, in addition to the staff of the Consulate General, there were also many international students.

Yu Wenwen, who was born in Northeast China and holds Maple Leaf nationality, just turned 18 this year and is a girl who loves music.

Because she had a disagreement with her parents, she did not go back to China to celebrate the New Year with them this year. She stayed alone in Maple Leaf Country. Later, she went to Los Angeles to hang out with her international student friends she met on Facebook. Her friends were also organized to come to the Consulate General to celebrate the New Year, so she followed them. Woke up.

Seeing Wang Quan, she rushed over and asked him for a photo and autograph.

Wang Quan's face is still well-known in North America, and he has appeared on several magazine covers.

Wang Quan thought she was an international student, so he encouraged her to study hard.

Wang Quan then followed Counselor Zhao to meet the Consul General.

Hebei Province, Hucheng City, Ping'an County.

The Battle of Gullah in Pingan County took place here. This battle was also an important turning point in World War II. Damn Italian artillery...

In Wangjiatun, Wang Qiankun is in his hometown. The villa built here is no different from the villas in the city, with comfortable living and complete functions.

The three brothers of the Wang family, as well as the second and third generations below, are basically all gathered together. Only during the Spring Festival once a year can this mansion be so lively. In two days, Wang Qiankun’s sister and her family will also come over for a reunion, but it’s a pity that one of them is missing. Kingship.

But everyone can understand that the royal power now represents their old Wang family and the country to compete for honor in foreign countries.

And Wang Qiankun said, "You can see that kid when you watch the Spring Festival Gala, he said it."

Brother Wang Qiankun said, "Then our whole family will watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight."

"Grandpa, I still want to watch a movie." Dabao, the grandson of brother Wang Qiankun's family, twisted.

Wang Qiankun brings movies to the countryside every year when he comes back and sets up equipment to play movies in the yard of the village branch. This year he was particularly active because he brought two of his son's movies.

The folks in the village are usually not interested in foreign films. "Tunnel War", "Mine Warfare" and "Hands Up" are the eternal gods, but this time it is the work of Wang Jilinzi, and every household is prepared not to watch the Spring Festival Gala in the evening.

Wang Qiankun said with a smile, "Dabao, the movies can be shown for several days, and there are also reruns of the Spring Festival Gala. You can watch whichever one you want."

The eldest grandson of the eldest brother’s family immediately said, “I want to watch the Spring Festival Gala. This year’s Spring Festival Gala will feature Little Dragon Girl!”

"Me too, I want to see Zhao Ling'er!" The eldest grandson of the eldest brother's family responded positively to his cousin.

They are all junior high school students, and they are the audience for martial arts dramas and fairy tale dramas.

Seeing that my eldest brother has so many grandchildren, with children and grandchildren around his knees, and grinning from ear to ear every day, Wang Qiankun is envious. He is a 21-year-old brat, and he has not yet given birth to a grandson for me. He is really anxious to death.

More than a dozen men from the Wang family went to visit the graves in the morning and were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon. It was a very sumptuous table, and people would come to visit from time to time.

Brother Wang Qiankun has stepped down from the position of village director, but he is still useful in speaking in the village. This is the identity that Wang Qiankun originally persuaded him to strive for, which established the absolute authority of the Wang family in Wangjiatun.

Wang Qiankun's younger brother is still working in the city's Wuking detachment. At first, this boy was unruly. It was Wang Qiankun who took the initiative when he joined the army. He finally worked out his temper. Later, all the children in the family became the best in the city. I have benefited a lot from going to a school where almost all of them are college students. However, one thing is that the dogs at home are absolutely unorganized.

Wang Quan's brother-in-law and brother-in-law also opened factories with his help, and their lives were prosperous.

Now even the younger sister's nephew has a child. In the Wang family, only Wang Qiankun has no third generation. This is also his fault. When he was young, he focused on his career (playful), but when he was trapped by his younger sister Yanzi, he also became a third generation. I am ten years old and have children late, falling behind every step I take. I heard that people in the entertainment industry don’t like getting married and having children. I don’t know if I will be able to have a grandchild when I am 70 years old. Will it be domestically produced or a Sino-foreign joint venture?

Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Quan called from the United States.

"Dad, I'll give it to you in advance and give my uncle a New Year's greeting. We've already had dinner and are playing games with the international students."

"We just had lunch," Wang Qiankun laughed, "Gadot didn't accompany you? Are you okay?"

"Okay, she'll be back in two days."

After that, Wang Quan spoke to his uncle and brother-in-law respectively. They were a village official and a city official, both of whom were very enlightened. They heard that Wang Quan was with the ambassador and gave them a lot of advice.

Finally, Wang Quan said that after the Oscars, he would try to go back to his hometown during the Lantern Festival.

The phone came back to Wang Qiankun, and he asked excitedly, "Can you bring back a little golden man when you go home this time?"

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Dad, my family probably doesn't know the little golden man, so why don't I just take a little foreigner back with me."

"Ah, really!"

Wang Quan, "Just kidding~"

"Tch, not serious."

In fact, Wang Quan was moved for a moment, but if he brought Gadot back to his hometown, the meaning would be really different. He should be more cautious, and that time happened to be the time for her audition.

In the game with the international students, Wang Quan provided several game ideas, including "Who is the undercover?" "Guess whether what I said is true or false", etc. Counselor Zhao said, "I would have known that Director Wang would have so many good ideas in his mind." , we should have invited you over in advance."

After everyone was full and tired from playing, they were also video-recorded. A few scenes will be selected for the Spring Festival Gala.

After a short rest, it’s time to officially watch the Spring Festival Gala.

In Beijing, Yang Mi, her parents, her uncle's family, and her aunt's family had New Year's Eve dinner at her grandfather's house and watched the Spring Festival Gala. You could also see gorgeous fireworks outside.

The Spring Festival Gala has begun. The first language program is "Things in Our Village" by Feng Gong, then "Gifts" by Guo Dacaiming, and then "Carry Love to the End" by Pan Changjiang and Jin Yuting.

Yang Mi frowned and shook her head, why are you so boring?

After Pan Changjing, there was the song program "Wife, Husband, I Love You", with performers Huo Feng, Pang Long, Yao Beina and others.

The next skit program is a little more interesting. "Test" by Huang Hong, Niu Li, and Lei Kesheng contributed a famous scene "old bomb".

However, during this show, Yang Mi's cousin ran to the toilet because Liu Yifei's show was coming next and he wanted to watch it in his best condition.

Yang Xiaolin couldn't help teasing Yang Mi, "Concubine Liu Yi has already attended the Spring Festival Gala. When can you attend the Spring Festival Gala?"

Yang Mi snorted, "When my Divine Comedy is completed, they will probably be rushing to invite me to the Spring Festival Gala."

Yang Chunling smiled, "Then when will you be able to do it?"

"I'll practice again. This song is very difficult. It's not comparable to those children's songs."

My cousin came out of the bathroom, "Has Liu Yifei's show arrived? Are you meowing like a cat?"

"Spoiler alert in advance, no." Yang Mi chuckled.

Hosts Li Yong and Zhou Tao appeared and began to introduce the next program, "This is a program for children across the country. I hope each of you can "Outbreak of Courage"~"

"Pfft!"

When she saw Liu Yifei, Yang Mi couldn't help it. She, she, she actually put on two braids. She was pretending to be young and childish!

However, my cousin said, "This look is so beautiful, just like a junior high school student!"

Even the eldest aunt said, "This little girl is really pretty, and the song is nice."

"Plant a seed in your heart, it will make your little wish come true..."

This is not Liu Yifei's solo, there is a childish voice next to it. While she sings, she also interacts with the children wearing various childish costumes. Compared with the children, although she has braids, she is still much more mature. of.

Los Angeles.

Yu Wenwen grabbed the seat next to Wang Quan, and she asked Wang Quan, "Director Wang, is this a song you wrote too?"

King Quan, "Yes."

"You are such a versatile person!"

Wang Quan thought to himself, you are not bad, you can sing and act.

Liu Yifei's performance received a very high response from the audience. These guys who started out as college students all sang along and burst out with courage.

When Liu Yifei finished her performance, Yao Beina, who was waiting for her backstage, immediately stepped forward to hug her, "Sissi, it was a great success!"

Liu Yifei, "Is it true? There's nothing wrong with my mouth shape, right?"

"completely fine!"

It was my first time to lip-sync, so I was quite nervous.

Then Liu Yifei quickly looked towards the Spring Festival Gala stage. The host was introducing the situation of overseas Chinese celebrating the Spring Festival. There were photos and videos on the big screen.

Unfortunately, she was too far away and could not see Wang Quan's voice and smile.

Yang Mi’s family all saw it.

"Oh, this is Quan'er!" Yang Chunling said excitedly, "Dad, look, Wang Quan is at the Spring Festival Gala."

"Who?" Mr. Yang, who was deaf, asked.

Yang Xiaolin explained angrily, "It's Wang Fugui'er from next door who pulled out your valve core."

"He, let me take a look!"

Yang Mi, "No, let's watch the replay."

Mr. Yang said, "What, he's gone? It's a pity that he's so young."

Yang Mi, "..."

After leaving the Consulate General, it was already dawn in Los Angeles. Wang Quan went home and took a nap and then came to Chinatown. The place was full of Chinese New Year flavor and he could also see the lion dance. Wang Quan bought some gifts and went to Dorothy's house as a guest.

In the meantime, he received calls from Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, and also received New Year greetings and MMS messages from many domestic colleagues, mostly actresses.

Dorothy was dressed very femininely today. She came down to greet him personally, and then took Wang Quan's arm and opened the door.

She told Wang Quan something on the way, "I heard from grandpa that Boss Zou seems to have plans to sell Jiahe."

Tao Daqi not only practiced medicine, but also took on apprentices. Several of his apprentices later entered the film industry and became martial arts practitioners, including Tao Weilong, who also practiced martial arts and did somersaults on Bruce Lee's set. He is a martial arts practitioner by name in Hong Kong. Basically, I inherited the bones from him, so he has a close relationship with the Hong Kong film industry.

Tao Daqi has a closer relationship with Zou Wenhuai. Zou Wenhuai is 80 years old this year. In addition to going to big hospitals for check-ups, Tao Daqi's medical clinic is where he goes most frequently. An 82-year-old man treats an 80-year-old man. More like friends, chatting and bragging.

Therefore, Tao Daqi was the first person to know that Zou Wenhuai had the idea of ​​quitting the film industry.

"Director Wang, what do you think about this matter..."
