You don't understand the happiness of the director

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be a humanoid sign of Yui-chan. It was to promote "Koisora" and it was quite realistic.

Of course, whether it is true or not, Wang Quan has the most say. He almost recognized it as a real person. It seems to be very real.

This movie is also confirmed to be introduced to the mainland, a few months later than Neon, and is scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day on 2.14.

"Koisora", as Neon's country's dark horse of the year, has already gained a certain amount of popularity on the Internet, especially Aragaki Yui's popularity surpassing that of the movie.

In line with the attitude of having dates and not having dates, Umekawa Hideo contacted Uncle Wang and gave it a try. After all, the current Chinese audience is hungry for cultural products.

In addition to the promotional materials for "Love in the Sky", Wang Quan also noticed the poster for "The Hangover".

Good guy, as the male supporting actor, Azu's screen size is larger than that of the other leading actors combined. The one with the largest screen size next to Azu is the guest boxing champion Tyson.

And Wang Quan's name is even bigger and bolder. Those who know it think he is a screenwriter, and those who don't know it think he directed it.

However, the effect is indeed significant. Because it is night, there are not so many people watching "Yangtze River No. 7" with their children, but more people are watching "The Hangover".

Wang Quan walked into the cinema with his mother and niece. There were only about twenty people there. They laughed constantly during the movie, but it was different from the previous Zhou comedy. There was actually some sadness. Could it be that the director was middle-aged? Is it really hard to be purely funny anymore?

The biggest laugh in the audience was actually when we walked out of the cinema, my mother Mei Yanqiu said, "The little boy who plays Xiao Di looks like a little girl."

"Auntie, is there a possibility that she is a little girl?" Mei Xi said.

Seeing his mother's confused expression, Wang Quan finally couldn't help but laugh "hahaha".

Mei Xi, who has read a lot of movie reviews and spoilers, continued, "Also, the little boy who plays the role of the bully is actually a little girl."

"What!"

Mei Yanqiu could at least vaguely see that Xiao Di didn't look like a boy, but she really didn't see that little bully.

The family of three laughed and returned home. Meixi would not leave tonight. When I asked her why, she replied: My parents are having a second child recently.

Mei Yanqiu looked at her son. He was already 23 this year and had reached the legal age for marriage. She didn't know when she would be able to bring her grandchildren back. It didn't matter whether she had a daughter-in-law or not.

As soon as he got home and lay down, Lao Wang from his hometown in Hebei Province sent a message to him and asked him to check his mailbox. It turned out to be the box office statistics of mainland movies in 2007. Lao Wang had just sent it today.

With "Yangtze River No. 7" and "The Hangover" occupying the market, last year's old movies have all come to an end, and the box office rankings of last year can be finalized.

First of all, the total box office is 3.5 billion, which is less than 500 million dollars. However, compared with the growth rate in 2006, it reached 33%. People in the industry are very satisfied. This growth rate is already very fast. It is expected to reach 10 billion, but Wang Quan feels that it is not fast enough. It can be faster. Once the online ticket purchasing platform is completed, it will stimulate a wave of growth.

Then there’s the ranking of the movies.

It's a pity that the tenth place is "007: Battle Royale" with 95 million. If it works harder, all the top ten box office movies in the mainland this year will exceed 100 million. In 2006, only four of them exceeded 100 million.

The ninth place is "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" with 121 million.

The eighth place is "Lust, Caution", which was released for more than a week, with 135 million.

Seventh place "Harry Potter 5" 138 million.

The sixth place "Spider-Man 3" is 140 million.

Fifth place "Twilight" 145 million.

The box office of these movies is very close. It can be seen that except for Twilight and Lust, Caution, they are all sequels to big Hollywood IPs. The market for regular Hollywood commercial blockbusters is so big.

The high box office of Twilight and Lust, Caution reflects to a certain extent the appeal of the two beautiful directors.

Although Twilight's box office is slightly higher, "Lust, Caution" was only released for a week. If it were released normally, there would be no suspense about breaking 200 million. Therefore, many senior movie fans think that Wang Quan is slightly inferior to Li Yin. They think when will Wang Quan get it? Only an Oscar for Best Director can bridge this gap.

But there are still some people who think that this is the appeal of astringency to the box office, and has nothing to do with the director's ability.

The fourth place is "Lost Orphan" with 161 million. It is directed by Huang Jianxin, written by Wang Quan and starring Liu Dehua. It is the biggest dark horse of the year. It is also the first publicly released film of Wangdao Pictures. It can be regarded as a successful start-up.

The original estimate was only 60 to 70 million, but it was raised to 100 million due to practical significance, which had an impact on the two blockbusters "Vote" and "Assembly Number" released during the Lunar New Year.

The third place is "Venture" with 183 million yuan. It is a film mainly invested by Hong Kong Media Asia and directed by Chen Kexin. It has a poor public reputation but a good professional reputation. It relies on big stars and big scenes to gain what looks good but is actually far less than expected. It is certain to lose money at the box office because he also participated in the investment. Chen Kexin's hair is almost turning gray now.

Second place "Assembly", 210 million, Huayi Brothers is the main investor, Media Asia also participated in the investment. In the eyes of many people, this is also a dark horse. Chen Kexin never expected that he would lose to a movie with this theme. .

But the investment in this movie is not small, and whether the money can be recovered depends on the success of the copyright operation. However, Feng Xiaogang has avenged his shame. He is one of the best Chinese directors this year.

There is no suspense in the first place. It is the beginning of a new series of Hollywood movies, a movie that captures the childhood feelings of countless people born in the 1980s and 1990s, and a movie where steel and women fly together.

"Transformers", 295 million!

At that time, it coincided with Megan Fox's public relationship with King Power. Coupled with the domestic popularity of Transformers, the film immediately exploded in the mainland, eventually surpassing "The Golden Jacket" and being second only to "Titans" at the box office. Nick" 360 million.

Comparing the original time and space data, Wang Quan calculated that the incident of him sleeping with Megan at least brought more than 10 million box office to the movie, but it was all very cheap for Paramount.

Among the top ten, there are six Hollywood movies and three co-productions. Only "The Lost Orphan" is a pure mainland movie, but it also has the participation of Hong Kong stars.

Co-production was still the main theme at this time. After all, the people of Xiangjiang had abundant funds at this time, the coal bosses had not yet risen, and the Internet tycoons were far behind. Without Media Asia's funds, Huayi would not be able to play "The Night Banquet" and "Assembly Number". A big production.

Apart from these top ten, there are no other films released by Qiankun Culture. In 2007, Long Toutou only sent Pharaoh one "Twilight". Pharaoh also complained that those horror films made by Long Toutou were not It’s not available in China, can you take some normal photos?

But it was just fine in 2008. The Hangover was off to a good start. Several of the subsequent Dragon Head films can be introduced to the mainland, all published by Qiankun. However, Wang Quan always has the feeling of leading the way, helping foreign capitalist Dorothy earn money from his compatriots. money~

In addition to the movie box office, there are also box office data of major theater chains. Magic City Lianhe, China Film Star, and New Film Alliance are still at the forefront, and Wanda Cinema is also gaining momentum.

Dawang Cinemas was still catching up in 2007, ranking 18th in the country. Jiahe Cinemas was even worse, ranking 29th, almost at the bottom of the rankings because the box office of Xiangjiang Cinemas was not included.

However, if we only look at the last month's box office data, Dawang Cinema has entered the top ten, and will continue to expand in 2008. Lao Wang has sold a few antiques he doesn't like, and Golden Harvest has Wang Quan's help.

Wang Quan found that there was an identical box office data report sent by Chen Chuling in her mailbox. At the same time, she also asked Wang Quan for instructions on when the company would build its own distribution team.

Seeing that it was not midnight yet, Wang Quan called Chu Ling back, "Are you in your hometown?"

"Well, I'll go back to Beijing after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

Wang Quan, "I saw your email. Why, you are in a hurry to build distribution channels. Don't you want your second uncle to make our money?"

Hearing Wang Quan's joke, Chen Chuling replied seriously, "Although Qiankun and Wangdao are as close as one family, they are not the same family after all. It's okay to say that their own production capabilities are poor now. When Qiankun's production capabilities come up, maybe they will cooperate with our distribution There is a conflict in plans. When the time comes to formulate schedules and publicity strategies, it will still depend on Qiankun’s face. There is always a feeling of being dependent on someone else.”

In fact, Wang Quan had hesitated about whether Wangdao should build its own distribution network. If Wangdao specializes in production and Qiankun specializes in distribution, this is not bad and can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

Later, he rejected the idea. It was what Chu Ling said. Lao Wang opened this company not only to support his son, but also to realize his own movie dream. Qiankun will definitely enter the production market, and then the two companies will With conflicts, Wangdao also needs to have its own distribution capabilities.

Wang Quan told his cousin, "This is actually not urgent. By the way, how is Brother Peng now?"

"He has returned to the capital. He said that his programming condition at home is not good."

Wang Quan smiled, "Well, when he makes the thing, then we can consider the distribution business."

He is afraid that by then the company will have too much distribution business. For a platform that controls movie ticketing across the country, it will not be easy to start distribution.

At this time, the country is in the transition stage from film copying to digital copying. Film copying is bulky and distribution is troublesome. Nowadays distribution is also called run distribution. You have to have people who can drink it all over the country to make the theaters happy. Work.

This kind of working model is not suitable for people of Chen Chuling's generation. In the digital copy era, relying on the ticketing platform, they can make the distribution work simpler. Of course, they still have to drink.

"Oh, one more thing, I'm a little hesitant." Chen Chuling said.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't "The Story of Two Foods" just finish filming? After Chen Zhengdao came back, he wanted to recommend a script to the company. It was written by a fellow from Wanwan, and the script was also written by a director."

"It's just to attract investment."

"Yes," Chen Chuling said, "I'm just worried that if I cooperate with so many Bayan directors, I might make policy mistakes."

Wang Quan burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, Chu Ling was young and had a high level of political consciousness. He was worthy of being a Communist Youth League secretary in university.

After laughing, Wang Quan comforted her, "We only cooperate with the director, we don't sign the director. If you think it's OK, we'll cast it. If you think the person or the work is not good, we won't cooperate. Have you read the script? Do you think there is any political risk?"

"That's not true. Besides, it's pretty good-looking and the investment is not big. I personally like it better."

"I believe in your vision, so feel free to invest." Wang Quan reassured her, and then asked, "What is it called? What does it mean?"

"It's called "I Heard", a love story that has something to do with disabled athletes..."

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Quan woke up relatively late and finished shooting a feature film. It was not until this moment that he could rest.

There was no one at home anymore, my mother went to the Meifu Banquet, and Mei Xi went to play with his classmates, but my mother left food for him and didn't call him specifically to let him have a good rest.

Wang Quan looked at Sissi Mimi's QQ dialog box and saw that neither of them had returned to Beijing. After washing up, Wang Quan went downstairs and bought a pack of cannonballs from a nearby store.

Then we rode the family's bicycle all the way to Yu Feihong's house three streets away. Her house was also in Haidian.

Sister Fei Hong originally bought this house to facilitate her children's schooling in the future, but now she only has one child, Wang Quan.

This time Wang Quan learned wisely and made a phone call before going upstairs to ask.

It's a good thing he made this call, otherwise things would have been a big deal.

Yu Feihong lowered her voice, "Oh, okay, um, wait a minute..."

She must have found a place where no one was around, and then she said to Wang Quan, "You haven't come up yet. If you come up, get down quickly."

"Why, there is a man at home."

"There are also women. My parents are celebrating the New Year at my house this year."

Wang Quan smiled, "There's nothing to be afraid of. I won't take off my pants and knock on your door again."

These are all dirty words. Yu Feihong blushed and said, "Anyway, just don't come."

Wang Quan said, "Then I won't go up. Can you come down and talk to you about something serious?"

Yu Feihong hesitated, "Go to the garage and find my car. We'll meet in the car."

"okay!"

After a while, Wang Quan stood by the car and saw Yu Feihong coming over. The car was also opened. He got into the back seat directly, and Yu Feihong came in later.

Wang Quan hugged Yu Feihong and said, "Hong, I miss you~"

Yu Feihong said with disgust, "Go, go, you are so glib at such a young age."

Then Wang Quan let her know how oily her mouth was and how slippery her tongue was.

Ten minutes later, Yu Feihong gasped and asked, "What is going on?"

"It's nothing, the main thing is to wish you a happy future. Do you have any red envelopes?"

"It's true." She took it out and said with a smile, "My parents just gave it to me. Give it to you."

As long as she is not married, she is just a child, and she can feel at ease with this red envelope.

Just as Wang Quan was about to pick it up, Yu Feihong stepped away and said, "I want it without kowtow~"

Wang Quan said nonchalantly, "Knock it off, I'll knock you back sooner or later."

A picture flashed through Yu Feihong's mind, "Forget it, just take it."

Even after taking the red envelope, Wang Quan didn't want to leave. Yu Feihong knew what he wanted to do, but people kept passing by in the underground garage, which was too dangerous.

The two were just in a stalemate, making some small moves, when Wang Quan's cell phone rang. It was Boss Tao's.

Wang Quan withdrew one hand and said, "I'll answer the phone."

"Hey, Tao'er, you just want to wish me New Year's greetings."

"Fuck you, I have good news and bad news here. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Wang Quan was confused and said, "Okay."

"The good news is that the North American box office of "The Hangover" has exceeded 258 million!"

"Oh, good, good, what about the bad news?"

Dorothy laughed and said, "The bad news is that the box office of "The Hangover" surpassed "The Twilight Saga"!"
