You don't understand the happiness of the director

At the 67th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, Long Toutou attacked with all his troops, with great momentum.

The crew of "Inception", Wang Quan, Emma, ​​DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), John Lone, John Lone is now completely back in the film industry, and he will continue to Next, Long Toutou plans to create a new action movie series for him. Considering his age, the action will basically focus on gunfights, and he plans to let him take the dog out of the country.

The crew of "The Hurt Locker", director Kathryn Bigelow, starring Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye).

The crew of "Up in the Clouds" is directed by Jason Reitman, starring George Clooney, and Anna, the supporting actress.

The cast of "Silver Linings Playbook", the heroine Anne Hathaway, the hero Bradley Cooper.

Cooper is also a member of the crew of "The Hangover Part 2", and people from this crew are also here. In addition, there is also the crew of "500 Days of Summer". These films have more or less been nominated.

In addition, TV dramas are also gaining momentum this time. "Breaking Bad", "Mad Men" and "True Blood" are all shortlisted for awards, and these three dramas have cooperated with HULU, Netflix and HBO respectively. Earned a lot of profits for the dragon.

First, the film awards were announced. "In the Cloud" won the best screenplay, Zun Long won the best supporting actor, "The Hangover 2" won the best musical/comedy film, and the best picture was won by "Inception". This is also Wang Quan won this award for the second time.

However, the best director went to James Cameron of "Avatar", and the two were evenly matched at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

The North American box office of "Avatar" has reached 600 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 2 billion, almost breaking the film history records of most countries, reaching the first and second global box office in the history of movies, both achievements of Cameron's works. , is also approaching the number predicted by King Quan.

Cameron plans to say "I am the king of the world" again if he wins Best Picture again at the Oscars.

3D movies have completely broken the circle. 3D has been launched in Hollywood. Several movies in production are planned to be converted into 3D movies. I heard that "Titanic" is planning to be converted into 3D to make money again.

In terms of TV series, Dragon Head was slightly less successful. Only "Mad Men" won the best TV series in the drama category, which is considered the first award in TV series. This show is also Netflix's most popular show at present, and many users renew their subscriptions just for it.

It can be seen how important an excellent TV series is to monthly users' willingness to pay. The next focus of Netflix's work is to customize TV series for their widest range of users based on the big data of customers' viewing works.

After the Golden Globe Awards, Long Toutou announced that he holds 31% of Netflix's shares and became Netflix's largest shareholder. However, it does not interfere with Netflix's daily operations. The two companies operate independently.

King Quan’s February 2 still holds 11% of Netflix’s shares.

In addition, Wang Quan, Gadot, and Dorothy established a new company through which they held 9% of Netflix's shares, and Netflix founder Reed Hastings also exchanged Long Tiouti's shares from them. 2% of the shares, becoming the third largest shareholder in Longtou. From now on, everyone will be on the same ship.

King Quan has achieved control over Netflix. Although Netflix is ​​still an independent listed company in name, it is actually a subsidiary of Long Head Head. Ted Salando, head of Long Head Head TV series production department, joined Netflix as a deputy director. The president is still responsible for the production of TV series.

This investment has boosted the share prices of both companies, and Netflix's market value has exceeded 5 billion in a few days.

Because Long Toutou finally got involved with the Internet, it increased the imagination of investors, and its market value exceeded the US$20 billion mark for the first time. However, Wang Quan and Dorothy held fewer and fewer shares, but their investment in the company Control is still firm.

At the end of January, Dorothy and King Quan held a shareholder meeting, in addition to the company’s entrepreneurial veterans Brit Marling, Suter Green, Ted Salando, and Chris Mellor of Illumination Entertainment Dandeley, Netflix's Reed Hastings.

Of course, Aunt Wendy from the February 2 Fund also attended the meeting. In addition, the Greenberg Foundation sent Dorothy's cousin Hussein to attend the meeting.

This is a successful conference, a positive conference, a conference that builds on the past and opens up the future, and it is also a dividend-paying conference.

In the past 2009, the box office of the company's released films in North America was 2.233 billion, and the global box office was as high as 5 billion!

According to recent data released by the Motion Picture Association of America, the total global box office in 2009 exceeded US$30 billion for the first time, and Long Toutou alone accounted for one-sixth of it, making it the largest film company in the world!

However, despite the box office, the overall profit of Dragon Head last year was only 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, but nearly 300 million U.S. dollars were shared by Wang Quan.

Most of this $2.5 billion is generated by the film business, including box office, advertising, DVD, TV business, derivative products, etc., and some also comes from the increasingly prosperous TV drama industry.

The single industrial structure has become an important reason restricting the development and growth of Longtzu.

The film revenue is not as good as that of the six major companies in Longtou. Their annual profits are basically tens of billions. In addition to film and television, they also have their own media, TV networks, retail industries, and theme parks (Universal and Disney).

As far as television media is concerned, Long Toutou's movies will eventually be sold to others and help them create profits.

Therefore, this year Longtou and Netflix will carry out in-depth cooperation. In addition, they also plan to acquire publishing companies, game companies, toy companies, and overseas companies to improve the company's industrial chain and make Longtou truly become a giant!

In order to reward everyone for their hard work last year, Dorothy decided to use 500 million from profits to provide dividend incentives to shareholders and investors. Wang Quan and Dorothy both received almost 100 million. Netflix CEO Reed, who had just become a shareholder of the company, Hastings will also get a share of $10 million.

In addition to the summary of last year, there are also prospects for work in 2010 and beyond.

The Twilight Saga will be coming to an end in 2010. In order not to keep fans waiting, it was finally decided to have one film in the summer season and one in the Christmas season, ending within the year.

How to create new profit points after Twilight ends and Wang Quan leaves is the biggest problem facing the company.

In addition to "The Hunger Games" proposed by King Quan being taken seriously, the company also has a series of blockbusters, namely "World War Z". For this movie, the company is planning to buy a game company, so it must continue to film. As for "The Hangover" " series, although the box office is good, but it is probably the life of the trilogy. If the third part can maintain its reputation, it will be a good thing.

"District 9" is not bad, but director and screenwriter Neill Blomkamp is in labor and unable to write "District 10".

In addition, the company also has a lot of series of movies, but the scale is relatively small and it is difficult to become a big success, such as the "Escape Room" series, "Insidious" series, "Human Purge" series, "Ghost Chronicles" series, The "King of Power" series, the "Orphan" series, and this year's "The Conjuring" series were the first to kick off the new year.

Although the box office of these movies is not that high, because many elements of horror movies have not entered the mainland market, and the scale of distribution is severely limited, but because of their low cost, they are favored by the DVD market, the profits are very high, and they have the foundation of previous movies, and the audience There is also a habit of watching movies, and it is difficult to fail, so the series of movies is really good!

All the movie companies want to create a Harry Potter or Twilight series, but this thing depends on fate, and King Power is not confident in replicating the success of Twilight.

In addition to these live-action movies, Illumination Entertainment is also regarded by Wang Quan as the guarantee of the company's performance. The company will steadily produce at least one movie per year. This year's startup "Despicable Me" will be released , the company is also planning to buy a toy company for this movie, and Wang Quan is very optimistic about the sales of Minions.

The meeting lasted all day, and Dorothy was in high spirits throughout. However, after the meeting, when she saw Wang Quan about to leave, her mood plummeted.

King Power left on the day the Oscar nominations were announced.

This year's Oscars is definitely a big year, with a total of 10 films nominated for Best Picture. Last year there were five films and the year before that doubled this year.

Among them, the most eye-catching performance is undoubtedly The Dragon Raise Its Head. Four films, "The Hurt Locker", "Inception", "In the Clouds" and "Silver Linings Playbook" were shortlisted, accounting for almost half of the country, and the company's performance in the box office market last year. Just as invincible.

In addition, there are Fox's "Avatar", Warner's "The Underbelly", Weinstein Films' "Inglourious Basterds", the Coen brothers' "A Serious Man", and the small-budget movie "Precious" that came out of Sundance.

The most unexpected thing is Disney (Pixar)'s "Up", which was nominated for Best Picture and Best Animated Feature as an animated film, making up for the previous regret that "Wall-E" was not nominated for Best Picture.

Among the four films of Long Head Head, "The Hurt Locker" won the best picture, best director, best actor, best original screenplay, best photography, best sound effects, best film editing, and best sound effects editing. , leading the way with nine nominations for Best Original Score.

Coincidentally, "Avatar" also received nine nominations, and the showdown between the former couple became the biggest hot topic at the Oscars.

What's even more coincidental is that "Inception" was also shortlisted for nine nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor (Johnny), Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, and Best Audio Effects, Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction, mainly technical awards.

In fact, Wang Quan knew that there would be no chance for Best Director, so how could he give it to him two consecutive years? (There is also little hope for Best Picture, but it is good to be nominated), so he did not run this award, but he was still nominated. It seems that Wang Quan is in charge of directing The judges have some prestige.

Moreover, this film was shortlisted for Best Adapted Screenplay, not original screenplay, because the company's explanation was that the film was adapted from Wang Quan's picture book "Dreams and Spaces", so there was nothing wrong with adapting the screenplay.

In addition, "Silver Linings Playbook" was shortlisted for eight nominations, and "Up in the Clouds" was shortlisted for six nominations. The main goals of these two films are those acting awards. George Crutchie and Anne Hathaway both I hope to get the statuette and create a golden body.

According to comprehensive statistics, Long Toutou received a total of 32 nominations for this Oscar, which can be said to be quite explosive.

After seeing the shortlist, Wang Quan can leave with peace of mind. Next, it depends on Long Toutou's public relations ability, which is another big expense.

The night before leaving, Gadot allowed Wang Quan to stay at home for the night, and spent the night on her bed. The two held each other and talked all night, making it seem as if Wang Quan would never come back.

Although I will come back, from now on Mei Entertainment has changed to China Entertainment, and the style of painting will be different.

On the day of departure, Dorothy and Ma Ling came to see Wang Quan off, watched him pack his luggage, and reminded him, "Don't forget the ticket."

Wang Quan, "What air ticket do you want?"

Ma Ling, "Can I buy it now when I get to the airport?"

Wang Quan, "I'm flying on my own private jet, but I still need to pay for the air ticket? Then didn't I buy my private jet for nothing?"

Dorothy, Ma Ling, "..."

They arrived at the airport two hours early just to let Dorothy see his private jet, a Gulfstream G650.

Dorothy is also a little envious. Not only is the interior luxurious, but it also has all the living facilities. It is simply a mansion in the sky.

There are also four flight attendants, one black, one white and two yellow, all with long legs over 1.7 meters tall. Even the black girl is so beautiful that she can kill 99% of the black actresses in Hollywood!

In fact, it was only 70 million dollars, and she couldn't afford it. Dorothy started to think about it. After all, she had just received more than 100 million dollars in dividends, so she was not short of money.

After Dorothy and the others left, the plane hadn't started yet, and Wang Quan was waiting for someone.

"Ms. Bingbing, I am Director Wang's driver, Xiao Wei. Please come with me."

At the same time, "Miss Bingbing, I am Director Wang's assistant Li Xian, please come with me..."

A few days ago, Wang Quan received invitations from Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing respectively. They both claimed to be in Los Angeles and wanted to treat Wang Quan to a meal or be treated to a meal by Wang Quan.

Among them, Li Bingbing sounded high and positive, while Fan Bingbing was obviously disappointed and depressed.

Later, Wang Quan found out that Zhang Ziyi had been kicked out of the project "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" and the cast was re-cast.

Not only did Zhang Ziyi go through a scandal at the end of last year, but she was also exposed as a fraud scandal at the beginning of this year. It seems that she and Ms. Wendy Deng are no longer so strong. However, she claimed that she had no choice but to withdraw because the filming schedule of "The Grandmaster" could not be adjusted.

After she quit, all the domestic first-line actresses were eyeing her place. Later, one of the two heroines of this movie was given to Jun Ji-hyun from Kimchi Country, and the other decided to choose from a Chinese actress. Shuangbing passed the test all the way. , and came to Los Angeles for an audition and fitting, and it was Li Bingbing who had the last laugh.

However, when they made an appointment with Wang Quan, it was his busiest time. He declined to change the date, but until both of them were about to return home, Wang Quan did not give a definite date.

But when they arrived at the airport, they were surprised to receive an invitation from Wang Quan.

Fan Bingbing was a little confused and took a car with Xiao Wei to a plane.

"This is?"

Xiao Wei replied, "This is our Director Wang's private plane, and he invited Miss Bingbing to accompany him."

Fan Bingbing's eyes suddenly brightened up, because the sense of failure that "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" was not selected was wiped away.

My chance to stand up has come!

Also, Director Wang actually has such a big private jet!

When she boldly stepped onto the luxurious private plane, before she could see the luxurious decorations inside the plane, she saw Li Bingbing sitting opposite Wang Quan and drinking tea with him.

Li Bingbing was also stunned when he saw Fan Bingbing. Today, he was not the only Bingbing?

Wang Quan stood up and asked Fan Bingbing to sit down. He was a little hot today and a piece of ice was not enough~
