You don't understand the happiness of the director

At this time, Yang Mi was taking a break from filming in Qingdao. Next to her was the young actor Chen Xingxu who played her younger brother. He was only 11 years old this year.

Like Yang Mi, he is also a child star. He acted in "The Passionate Years" at the age of 4. Last year, he also played the male lead Pan Dongzi in the drama version of "Shining Red Star". He was better than Yang Mi when she was a child.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, just drink your ad calcium milk."

Yang Mi was annoyed when she saw the news on her mobile phone. He had just seen the news about Liu Yifei's first play and director Wang Quan presenting flowers. The two of them hugged openly on the stage. The report also said that the two of them were suspected of having good things coming soon!

Damn, this must be the draft that Liu Yifei bought herself. Everyone knows Sima Zhao’s intentions.

Wang Fugui, please wake up, you have a girlfriend, are you right for Gadot...and me?

Chen Xingxu and his eldest brother Jin Dong looked at each other, women, I really don’t understand.

Jin Dong played the second male lead, a gentle, kind and personable big brother, but in the end he lost to the halo of the protagonist.

After Wang Quan awarded the Best Director trophy to Ning Hao, the two stepped off the stage together. Wang Quan also asked Ning Hao what he was busy with recently.

"Oh, I'm just busy. I'm preparing a new script. Before the new script is written, I'll shoot the MV and keep doing my job."

While the two were chatting, Ning Hao met an old friend and introduced him to Wang Quan, "Director Wang, this is Teacher Xu Zheng."

A shining bald head appeared in front of him. Wang Quan hurriedly shook hands and said hello.

The movie "Love Call Transfer" starring Xu Zheng was also shortlisted. This fantasy love movie written by Liu Yiwei is quite interesting. In an interview, Liu Yiwei even frankly said that he was inspired by the "Life Remote Control" written by Wang Quan.

I haven’t watched the movie King Power yet, so I don’t know how much inspiration this “inspired” was, but the fact that there are so many beautiful women in this movie is very attractive.

Look at the cast of actresses: Fan Bingbing, Huang Shengyi, Yi Nengjing, Ning Jing, Qin Hailu, Qu Ying, Xiao Songjia, Gong Beibi, Bai Li, Cong Shan, Jiang Hongbo, Dai Lele, Lu Yu, Shen Xing.

Some of them are really top-notch. As the first male protagonist, Xu Zheng is really happy as hell.

Because this movie did borrow a lot from "The Remote Control of Life", even the angels that are not in line with the national conditions. Xu Zheng knew this, so he seemed particularly guilty, and his whole face was like the word "囧".

Wang Quan doesn't care. It would be unrealistic to ask them to buy the copyright in this situation. The total box office of "Love Call Transfer" is only more than 13 million. I am afraid that they can't even afford the adaptation fee of "Remote Control".

However, Wang Quan did not intend to let Xu Zheng go just like that. He thought that it was almost May and other students had completed their graduation projects one after another, and his own graduation project should also be finished.

"Teacher Xu, I wonder if you are willing to support students' works?"

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly, "Yes, director Cheng Er asked me to shoot his graduation film. I agreed without saying a word after reading the script. Whose graduation film are you talking about, Director Wang? Your class Classmate’s?”

Kingship, “my own.”

"Hiss!" Xu Zheng didn't dare to have such illusions at first. Although it was just a graduation short film, because it was Wang Quan's graduation short film, all the popular young actors in the country were vying to star in it, so he didn't even dare to hope that he would get his turn.

But now, it's really my turn!

"Director Wang, I, I can do it, I'm totally fine."

Wang Quan, "How about I send you the script first."

"No, no, no," Xu Zheng waved his hand, "You don't need to read the script, you can play anything. What's the male role?"

Wang Quan, "My short film only has one male protagonist, and you are the only actor."

Take the lead!

Xu Zheng was even happier, and Wang Quan was also happy. He had previously thought of using popular actors like Liu Ye and Chen Kun, but later he felt that their faces were too up for grabs, so he had to find actors who were not too handsome. It would be better if they could also With some comedy.

Wang Quan said, "Teacher Xu, when will you be free?"

"at any time!"

"Have you been in the capital recently?"

"Yeah, I don't have anything else to do lately."

Wang Quan, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow."

Xu Zheng asked, "How long will the filming take?"

King Power, "Half a day is enough."

Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, "..."

Is he so fast?

When he returned to the school dormitory that night, Wang Quan announced that his short film would be shot tomorrow and asked everyone who wanted to go over and help.

The people in this dormitory, the dormitory next door, and the dormitory next door should be like clouds.

Wang Quan thought that if this thing was finished, how could there be any need for so many people? Then he would still have to take care of the food.

Then Wang Quan called Lao Wang. In addition to asking about the release of the "Twilight Saga" trailer, he also wanted to use Qiankun's office to shoot a short film.

"The effect is very good, with handsome men and beautiful women, picturesque scenery, and a vampire theme. The market response is very good! I have hired part-time publicity people on university campuses across the country, and I will focus on the young market."

Wang Quan said, "Don't let go of high school students or junior high school students either."

A story like "The Twilight Saga" will be considered naive by college students who are about to graduate. College students who have just entered school or middle school students are the best people to watch the movie. In a few days, the English version of "The Twilight Saga" will be released in the English market. Promotion of the movie.

In addition, King Quan has also persuaded Stephenie Meyer to come to the mainland in June for a book signing event for the first and second parts, and has selected four cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, and Xiangjiang.

Lao Wang attaches great importance to the promotion and distribution of his son's quasi-blockbuster film, and this time they decided to try a share-sharing cooperation model.

The Dragon Head only needs 20% of the total domestic box office of "The Twilight Saga", which is higher than the 13% of Hollywood blockbusters. The remaining profits, no matter how much Qiankun Culture can get from China Film and Television, will belong to Lao Wang himself. .

This reduces the cost pressure on Qiankun Culture, as long as the cost of publicity and distribution is paid.

Not many films are approved in this way now, but it will become a trend in the future. If Indian, Japanese and Korean films cannot get quota quotas, they will cooperate with mainland companies in this way, and the boundaries between approved films and blockbusters will become blurred.

In order to earn a share of the box office of "Twilight", Lao Wang also worked hard. After lobbying China Film several times, he finally got "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" released in the same period.

The film was moved to the end of May, which is good, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" 3 can be released in North America at the same time. Disney also needs to thank Lao Wang.

As a result, there is only one strong opponent left in the June slot, Nicolas Cage's "Soul Chariot". However, this movie was released in early June, two weeks after "The Twilight Saga", but it was about two weeks after "Pirates of the Caribbean" In less than a week, he is destined to become cannon fodder in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

They are all approved films, but there is a difference between approved films with background and approved films without background.

The next day, Wang Quan brought a total of more than 30 students from the directing class, 02 photography class, and art class to Qiankun Culture. Even teacher Xie Fei came.

After arriving at the company, Wang Quan asked Lao Wang to entertain Teacher Xie Fei. Then he met Du Yang, a newly recruited employee of Wangdao Pictures, and asked her to assign tasks to her classmates.

Chen Chuling has also been busy with her graduation thesis recently. It is impossible to do everything in the company. Wang Dao, an empty shell, also needs to fill in the company's organizational structure since acquiring Jiahe.

Du Yang was one of the first ten employees recruited by Wang Dao, and she was also the most senior. Wang Quan asked her to be the executive producer of "Black Hole".

Oh, "Black Hole" is the name of King Power's short film.

Du Yang wears black-rimmed glasses and looks ordinary. She used to be from Huayi.

She was the publicity director of "Mobile Phone", "Kara is a Dog" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth". She later participated in the production of "Kekexili" and has strong connections in the industry.

However, she left Huayi first and joined Wangdao half a year later. The second king of Huayi cannot blame Wangquan for poaching.

Although Chen Chuling is reliable and knowledgeable, she is not a movie insider after all. With Du Yang complementing her, she can feel more at ease after leaving.

Soon, the leading actor Xu Zheng came with a bag on his back and deliberately did not bring an assistant. He looked very dedicated and low-key.

Seeing such a big battle, he was quite nervous. As expected of a great Hollywood director, so many people were needed to make a short film.

However, in fact, most people just pretend to be fake and mainly focus on learning and observing.

"Director Wang, where is the script?"

Wang Quan took out a page of paper and said, "Here."

"Ah, it's just one page!" In fact, there's not even one page, and there's a blank space underneath.

"It's only two minutes of play, one scene, and there are no lines. One page is enough."

The other students were greatly disappointed when they heard it. It was only a two-minute short video. You, monitor, are being too silly!

In Hollywood's standard script template, one page usually represents one minute of play, but Wang Quan is a special case. If the final movie is 100 minutes, his script may only have 90 or 80 pages, which is more precise and refined, and saves time. Qian, he always takes the effect of the film into consideration when writing scripts. Editors love this kind of scripts.

Then Xu Zheng needs to be put on makeup to make him look tired. At the same time, the lighting and scenery of the office need to be adjusted to achieve the effect of working overtime at night.

Wang Quan personally directed it and finished it within an hour. Teacher Xie Fei said to the other students in the class, "Did you see that Xiao Wang already has a complete picture in his mind, so he adjusted it very carefully."

The original office scene of Qiankun Culture was too loose and comfortable, which was not conducive to framing and creating a high-pressure state of overtime work. Therefore, Wang Quan put printers, drinking buckets, computers, wall clocks, desk lamps and other workplace symbols together to create a sense of oppression. .

At first, other students didn't think there was any need to readjust the office area. However, after Wang Quan made such an adjustment, they did feel a lot better.

Over there, Xu Zheng also completed makeup and dressing up, deepened his eye circles, and added a sparse wig to him. He suddenly had the feeling of a social animal in the workplace.

During the time while putting on makeup, Xu Zheng also read through that page of the script several times and couldn't help but be amazed.

Director Wang, you are really like this! Awesome!

Attention, this man's name is Xiaoshuai. He is working overtime at this time. I don't know if the printer is broken. After the document is printed, there is a black circular area on the white paper, which looks like a plaster flag or a black hole.

The students who came to watch did not know the plot and looked at Xu Zheng's performance in confusion.

I saw Xu Zheng finished drinking the water and put the paper cup on the piece of paper. He looked surprised. He squatted down and looked at the table under the paper. Then he stretched his hand to the piece of paper. He paused for a moment, and then he Picked up the paper cup and then took away the paper.

With a puzzled expression, Xu Zheng put the piece of paper on the company's self-service vending machine. There were drinks and snacks in it, but they were not free and required coins.

But now, he put the paper on the vending machine, and then the camera switched to show him holding a piece of chocolate in his hand and starting to chew it. His tired eyes were filled with light. At this time, Wang Quan replaced him with a larger piece of paper. , with a larger black hole above it.

At this moment, the students in the directing class suddenly realized, could that piece of paper have the ability to penetrate?

So what does he want to do next?

Next, the actor used this piece of paper to open the door of the boss's office, which was actually Lao Wang's office.

Wang Quan closed the door for the next filming so that no one else could watch.

This made everyone anxious. What will happen next? How could you do this, monitor!

After half an hour, Xu Zheng and the crew came out of the office and started shooting other scenes.

For example, the table where the paper was just placed had a round hole cut into it. Xu Zheng covered the hole on the table with a piece of white paper with a round hole cut in the middle, then put the paper cup in, and then completed the action of reaching in with his hand. .

Then the vending machine, and then the office door.

So this film still has some costs, and Lao Wang will have to change the film later.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the short film "Black Hole" was announced to be completed.

The students who came together were arranged by Wangdao staff to eat at a nearby restaurant.

Wang Quan took Teacher Xie, Lao Wang, Xu Zheng and executive producer Du Yang to another quieter place to eat and chat.

Teacher Xie had already got that page of the script. After reading it carefully, he felt that Wang Quan was really smart. He was worried that he would be the last one to hand in his homework. Unexpectedly, the filming was completed in one day, but he needed a lot of work for this film. With few special effects, it will probably take a few days to see the finished film.

After half a day of performance, Xu Zheng was in awe of Director Wang. During the meal, he kept asking, "How did you come up with this? It's so awesome! I almost want to be a director after watching it."

Wang Quan encouraged him, "If you have an idea, go for it. I have seen many actors transform into directors, including Jiang Wen at home and Ben Affleck abroad."

"Can I really do it?" Xu Zheng was a little unsure.

"You were able to discern the excellence of "Crazy Stone" back then, which is much better than many directors who don't understand the script, so I believe you."

After all, Baldhead, you are the first director to bring Chinese films to the billion level!

The next day, Wang Quan started looking for a special effects company in the capital. He started the production in a hurry and didn't look for it in advance. However, he had already completed the preliminary work of the special effects. The special effects artists could just cut out the pictures.

Two things also happened on this day. One was that "Spider-Man 3" was released simultaneously in many countries in North America and China.

Also, Liu Yifei went to the Beiying Community to say goodbye to Wang Quan, saying that she was going to Hengdian to join the group~
