You don't understand the happiness of the director
Chapter 211 All-star lineup, epic blockbuster! (2, both ordered 5800)
If someone were to count ten classic Italian films, Tornatore's Time and Space trilogy would all be on the list.
As the last part of the trilogy, "Beautiful Legend of Sicily" may not be as well-known as "Cinema Paradiso" and not as deep as "The Pianist", but because of a peerless beauty like Monica Bellucci, it will forever be remembered among men. It has a special place in the hearts of movie fans.
At the same time, Sophie Marceau is the most familiar European goddess to Chinese people. Many of her films have been introduced to China in various forms, such as "First Kiss", "Fang Fang", "Brave Heart" and "Phantom of the Louvre". He is a frequent visitor to the movie channel and can be regarded as an old friend of the Chinese people.
In comparison, Monica Bellucci is far behind. Her most important masterpieces "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" and "Irrevocable" are not broadcast in China.
But in the Internet age, Monica Bellucci's popularity has become higher and higher, even surpassing her contemporary Sophie Marceau, and she did not know when she got the reputation of a "Flower of the Earth".
When they heard that Wang Quan's new film had invited her, all the male movie fans on the Internet screamed with excitement and dug out Mr. Bei's previous classics to rewatch them.
Many netizens said that with just these three actors, this movie has already entered their must-see list. Will it be on their list next year?
Some netizens are also discussing a movie starring three people. What is their relationship like? Are Monica and Emma a mother-daughter relationship? Zunlong wants a pear blossom to crush the begonia?
They thought this was the starring cast of "Inception."
However, on the fourth day, Wang Quan continued to post photos and articles, and this time it was a man who looked both old and young.
"Who is this person?" someone asked.
"Holy shit, you don't even know him!"
"Oh, is it famous?"
"It's usually famous. He was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor. You know "Brokeback Mountain"? This is the actor of Brokeback Mountain!"
With that said, someone finally remembered who Heath Ledger was.
He is very young, only 28 years old. He has been in the industry for ten years. He became popular only after "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005. However, the two subsequent small literary films made little noise, so now he has begun to take commercial films again.
This year he just acted in Nolan's "The Dark Knight", and next year he is going to star in King Power's "Inception". The role is not as good as The Dark Knight, but the price is still reasonable, and he has special expectations for Chinese directors, maybe This young director from China will give himself a surprise.
Although fans will be surprised that Lee’s favorite will appear in the King Power movie, Heath Ledger is slightly less famous than the previous three actors, but there are still a large number of "Brokeback Mountain" 》circle of fans.
The new actors announced by King Quan were even less well-known. Many people watched it for a long time without recognizing the person lying on the bed.
Fortunately, there are netizens who have watched enough movies to answer questions and answer questions, "This actor is called Robert Downey Jr. The last time I heard his name, it seemed that he starred in a screenplay by Director Wang, "Due Date."
Later, another netizen added, "He has also been nominated for an Oscar and played Chaplin. His acting skills are quite strong."
"Two years ago there was a movie called "The Little Thief, the Beauty and the Detective", in which he acted. It was pretty good."
"It was still very popular back then, but not many people in China knew about it."
Whether it is Heath Ledger or Robert Downey Jr., they are both nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor, and their acting skills have been recognized by the industry.
So some netizens speculated that Director Wang's film is a drama focusing on acting, and it is probably aimed at competing for Oscars, but they don't know whether the male lead is Heath Ledger or Robert Downey Jr.
As if to confirm the speculations of netizens, Wang Quan then posted a photo of an old actor.
Michael Caine.
He has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor three times and won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar twice. In addition, he has also won the Golden Globe Award twice, the Golden Globe Award once, and also won the British Oscar for the Best Actor.
This kind of cast configuration makes netizens at home and abroad more convinced that Wang Quan is going to win the Olympics again this time, and it is bound to win!
But the next day, Wang Quan released an idol actor.
Chris Evans.
The previous "Fantastic Four 2" starring him and Jessica Alba has been so popular that even China has heard about it, and it was ruthlessly crushed by King Power's "Twilight". Except for Jessica, Other actors have been criticized. Chris Evans was considered to have a handsome appearance, but his acting skills were a mess and superficial.
In short, his public image at this time is really inconsistent with the previous candidates for the Best Actor.
His appearance also made netizens start to doubt themselves. Isn't this just for winning prizes and is it still a commercial film?
Next, King Quan stopped for a day, and just when everyone thought that was the entire cast, Wang Quan published another article, grandly introducing the male protagonist of the film.
Leonardo DiCaprio.
The name is a bit long, don’t you recognize it? You know Jack, the male protagonist of "Titanic".
"Titanic" once grossed 360 million in box office in the mainland, and it is still the top box office hit in mainland film history. It is one of the few foreign movies that Chinese people are most familiar with in this era.
As soon as this news came out, not to mention China, in the United States, Neon, Kimchi, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Australia and other countries, they all made the headlines in the entertainment edition. This is a top entertainment superstar, more than the previous ones combined. With the existence of big names, the name of "Inception" became famous at home and abroad for a while, reaching the point where it became popular even before it was filmed.
To be honest, Leonardo DiCaprio has only one "Titanic" that has hit the global box office, but one is enough. The cumulative global box office of 1.8 billion makes it unparalleled in the world box office history. The second-placed "Titanic" "Lord of the Rings 3" was only 1.12 billion, and the third-placed "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was 1.06 billion. There are only three movies in the world that have exceeded one billion.
In this regard, an article from Sina Entertainment once said, “In addition to Cameron, Leonardo DiCaprio has previously collaborated with directors such as Woody Allen, Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese. Scott, Ridley Scott, and Sam Mendes are all Oscar-winning directors and are known as the "famous director harvesters." This time he collaborated with director Wang Quan, which is not only a perfect match, but also reflects to a certain extent Director Wang’s status in Hollywood.”
Moreover, none of the previous actors said whether he was the protagonist or not. Only Li Zizi was clearly the male protagonist. As soon as Wang Quan’s blog post came out, the audience’s expectations for "Inception" rose to a higher level. The previous cast has already I thought the stars were shining brightly, but it turns out they were all cast by Leonardo DiCaprio. How big was the investment in this movie? Even if it was a literary film, it felt like it would have to be over 100 million, right?
The number of comments on Wang Quan's blog soon exceeded 100,000, all of them urging him to film and release it quickly.
There are also countless bloggers who have begun to use Wang Quan and the traffic of "Inception". Some are popularizing science about actors, some are speculating on movie types, and a blogger named Fang Yuzi posted a question:
"Is there a possibility that the so-called Leonardo DiCaprio starring is not real? Let's eat up the heat first, and then say something like: due to force majeure, Leonardo DiCaprio cannot star in the role. After all, as far as I know, King Power is really not a big deal in Hollywood. He is a far cry from being a great director, and it would be extremely difficult for Li to work with an actor of DiCaprio's level."
As soon as this statement came out, it was instantly drowned out by supporters of royal power:
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
"Good news, just now the global box office of "Twilight" exceeded US$500 million, which is higher than China's total annual box office!"
"Let's do some science. It was Hermione who took the initiative to confess to Director Wang and asked for cooperation. Does this mean he is not a great director as you said?"
"As we all know, Director Wang has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Director and won the annual No. 1 award from Sight and Sound magazine. He can easily handle both literary and commercial films. Moreover, he is only 22 years old!"
Some fans of Li Bian said: Take away Uncle An and stop making fun of him. Uncle An's artistic films are indeed great, but his commercial films have been completely surpassed by Director Wang. This is an indisputable fact.
Yang Mi also used her own trumpet to scold Fang Yuzi for looking down on others. While scolding, she was proud of Brother Quan.
The same was true for Wang Qiankun. His son made him proud time and time again. He had to do something, so he changed the business card, reprinted it, and added a line of small letters after Wang Qiankun's name "Father of Director Wang Quan" to pay tribute to his son. Show respect.
Even Han Sanping couldn't hold back his anger and repeatedly asked Wang Quan when he would return to the country.
China Film must participate in this project as much as possible. This is a rare international top-level production that China Film has the opportunity to participate in. If it were not for Wang Quan's relationship, who would other Hollywood directors be jealous of them?

At this time, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei had arrived in Los Angeles. Not only did they meet William Morris' agent, they also saw the latest news about "Inception". Now there is overwhelming news about this movie in the United States.
Seeing that the male protagonist turned out to be Xiao Li Zi, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but lamented, "Now Xiao Wang is getting more and more powerful. It would be great if the heroine was you..."
"Mom," Liu Yifei interrupted Liu Xiaoli's sister-in-law Xianglin and asked something, "Has Endeavor Elite Agency not responded yet?"
Although William Morris is very strong, she actually wants to cooperate with Endeavor Elite because Wang Quan is also signed by that company.
Liu Xiaoli shook her head. Liu Yifei was helpless. It seemed like she couldn't be a colleague anymore. "Well, let's just go to WMA. Mom, I'll go out."
"What are you going out for?"
"Dating."
"With Xiao Wang?" Liu Xiaoli perked up.
"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded lightly.
"Would you like me to go with you? I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it alone!"
Liu Yifei, "Zhuzhu, hurry up, stop your Aunt Liu!"
In the end, Liu Yifei went to the appointment alone, and they made an appointment at Longtou Pictures.
At this time, Wang Quan was in Dorothy's office, along with Ted Salando, who was in charge of the TV series department.
"Breaking Bad" has been completely completed, and Hulu has officially launched a beta version. "Breaking Bad" will be the first batch of original series to land on this website.
"Now even Disney has invested in Hulu, bringing together the three major media giants Disney, Universal, and News Corporation (Fox). I feel that the future of this website is boundless."
Ted Salando said, "Hulu now mainly relies on the copyright libraries of the three major media giants. If it can make some achievements in the original field, it may indeed become a strong rival to traditional film and television companies in the future."
Wang Quan turned his pen and said, "I predict that online media like Hulu and Netflix will have a huge impact on theaters in the future. I wonder if we can catch such a ride."
Dorothy sighed, "You'll have less money when it's used. When it goes public in the future, we'll do something big."
Now we can only do it in a small way. "Twilight" has brought the vampire theme back to popularity, so the second thing to discuss today is to develop the "Vampire Diaries" series. The copyright of the novel is with King Power's Huhuhu Copyright Management Company On hand.
After saying this, Dorothy asked Ted Salando to go ahead and say, "Director Wang and I will talk about the movie business."
As soon as they left, Dorothy said excitedly, "You actually bought such a big villa. Where did you get the money?"
After hiding it for several days, Dorothy finally discovered it.
Wang Quan, "My director's share."
Even if the share of "Twilight" hasn't been received yet, just the share of "Juno" and "Escape Room" is enough.
"You are too extravagant, you just spent all your money on it!" Dorothy exclaimed.
Wang Quan smiled, "It's not just to continue being neighbors with you."
"Fart! You are on the mountain, and we are at the foot of the mountain. We are not in the same class anymore, fart's neighbors." Dorothy complained bitterly.
Wang Quan laughed, "If you feel that Little K's villa is not luxurious enough, you can come to my and Gadot's house. The nanny's room is reserved for you."
"Go away," Dorothy rolled her eyes, "If you spend money so lavishly, our company will not pay dividends for the time being. I'm worried that you don't have enough money. How about you make more movies."
"Hmm~" Wang Quan became alert.
Dorothy said, "Look, you only had one movie this year. Last year you had three, and there will only be one "Twilight 2" next year. The production capacity is a bit low, and before the filming of Inception started, you There are still more than four months left, wouldn’t it be a pity to just sit idle like this~”
Wang Quan, "But Twilight 2 still needs to be in post-production, and pre-production preparations for Inception also require a lot of energy."
"Energy is still there if you squeeze it in. You can make a small film that doesn't require special effects or a lot of actors, and the cycle is short. This kind of film can be completed in a month, and it won't delay your major events. .”
Wang Quan shook his head, "But I don't have any good ideas at the moment."
"In this way, I will provide the ideas and I will do the preliminary preparations. You will only need to be responsible for directing the film, and then two films will be released next year!" Dorothy said excitedly.
Wang Quan asked, "Tell me, are you taking on private work for me again?"
"What private work is, it is our company's own project." Dorothy took out a script from the drawer, called "Slumdog Millionaire", you can also call it "Slumdog Millionaire"...
