You don't understand the happiness of the director

Wang Quan and Wang Keying's family flew back to Los Angeles together. In order to allow their daughter to get closer to the director, the parents asked Wang Keying to sit next to Wang Quan while they sat far away.

But Wang Keying is a little afraid of this handsome director brother. He was so strict last night.

And Wang Quan had no time to talk to women he couldn't touch. In Wang Keying's eyes, Wang Quan started painting as soon as he got on the plane and kept painting. He was completely immersed in his own world, frowning from time to time, ecstatic from time to time, and sad from time to time.

While constructing the escape room scenes with pen and paper, Wang Quan smoothed out the plot in the scene. He tried to delete some trivial things, and also filled in some dialogue and props that were not there before, striving to make the story smoother, more compact and more precise. interesting.

It’s not that the original version is bad, but Wang Quan can not only see the movie, but also see the hundreds of thousands of comments left by fans around the world under the movie, and there are dozens of them with more than a thousand likes.

Some of these hot reviews became hot reviews because of sharp complaints, but many of them were really meaningful and pointed out the shortcomings and shortcomings of the movie.

As James Wan's younger brother, the original director Adam Robbitt has done a pretty good job given his abilities, especially in terms of saving money, but there is still room for improvement.

When filming "Basement", Wang Quan was very cautious when he was first directing. Except for the lead cast, which was replaced with new ones, the rest was almost a one-to-one replica of the original version, even the lens language was copied.

But now his ability, courage and ambition do not allow him to reproduce the lens language of a B-level film director who has only made a few low-budget horror films. Many times he will have a flash of inspiration, oops, here In fact, you can take pictures like this! Damn, I’m such a genius!

There were so many flashes of inspiration that Wang Quan naturally couldn't care about Wang Keying. However, classmate Xiao Wang became very curious about this Chinese director. How did he manage to not even look at himself? Could it be that painting is better than Wang Keying? Girls still smell good?

After the plane landed, the royal power returned to normal, and Dorothy was busy, so she sent her new assistant Britt Marling to pick them up.

Looking at this bookish blond beauty, Wang Quan was startled, "Why is it you? No longer an actress?"

Ma Ling went to Los Angeles alone after graduating from Georgetown University last year, hoping to find a job as an actress. She also auditioned for the heroine of "The Basement". Although she was cheaper and her appearance was not inferior to Meghan, Wang Quan still chose Megan, who has many years of acting experience.

However, Ma Ling also stayed on the crew, acting as Wang Quan's assistant and doing odd jobs. Due to financial constraints, she was used as one of several people. After the film was completed, the crew disbanded, and Wang Quan had no contact with her.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly became Dorothy's assistant. She was Long Toutou's first employee besides the two bosses. Maybe Dorothy took a fancy to her role in the "Basement" crew where she was used by several people. Force it.

Ma Ling replied, "This job will not affect my other pursuits, but it will be more beneficial, right?"

Wang Quan also searched for this sister Ma Ling in the "Film and Television Library". He thought that with such good looks and excellent academic qualifications, she would become popular, but the result was that she was far inferior to Meghan.

Although she later successfully entered this circle, not only becoming an actress, but also writing, directing, and acting, and gradually became known as a "talented woman", but she was limited to a small circle and failed to enter the mainstream of Hollywood.

Wang Quan welcomes her to join. A company cannot have everyone who likes men. After shaking hands, he asked, "Boss Tao has hired an assistant for himself. What about me? Do I have an assistant?"

Ma Ling replied, "Dorothy hopes that you, the director, will choose your assistant. She will select several suitable candidates for you."

"That's good, let's go back to the company."

Dorothy is in the company, and the family of three will be handed over to her and her assistant. They will discuss the contract and salary. However, as a pure newcomer with no previous works, Wang Keying's salary will not be too high, but it is also It can't be too low.

Because according to Hollywood rules, all movies costing more than 3 million must use members of the Screen Actors Guild, so she had to join the union first.

For example, when Li Bian originally filmed "The Wedding Banquet" and "Pushing Hands", the cost was 400,000 U.S. dollars and 600,000 U.S. dollars, and no one cared about it at all. Some actors were actually family members or friends, and they could film whenever they wanted.

When Wang Quan filmed "Basement", the cost was less than 3 million, but by chance, the three actors selected were all guild members, so Dorothy could go out and brag about the cost of 5 million without revealing the secret.

But using union members is also quite troublesome. You can't work more than eight hours a day. Actors have weekends and statutory holidays. If you want to film during your breaks, you can, I will work for you with double or even triple the salary.

Moreover, members of the Screen Actors Guild have a minimum salary. Wang Quan found out that the daily salary cannot be less than US$800, which would be US$24,000 based on a one-month shooting cycle.

So in the end, it was no surprise that Wang Keying received a salary of 50,000 U.S. dollars, and Gadot would be paid almost the same amount.

Because in addition to filming, Dorothy also has a comprehensive publicity plan that requires the cooperation of several main creators, which will take up their time and image.

But the first thing to do is to help Wang Keying apply to join the American Actors Guild and pay the membership fee. The annual income is less than 200,000 US dollars. The membership fee is 116 + annual income x 1.85%. The higher the annual income, the lower the membership fee ratio.

Since he couldn't save money, Wang Quan joined the Directors Guild and the Screenwriters Guild. The two unions greatly guaranteed his personal rights.

When Wang Keying signed the contract, she became extremely excited. She was only fourteen years old and could earn so much money. I am so proud!

But when Dad Wang said, "You are still young, Dad will save the money for you first." Wang Quan understood that although Dad Wang couldn't speak Mandarin well, he was still one of his own! This scene is so familiar and intimate!

This moment is just like that moment~

Afterwards, Dorothy and Wang Quan learned about Gadot's situation, and Wang Quan assured that she would definitely come back.

Now that two of the six leading actors have been confirmed, there is no need to worry about the other four. "We will go through the process of auditioning actors after your complete script is written."

Both Gadot and Wang Keying are considered to have slipped through the formal process. The price of two pure newcomers is very cheap, which is lower than Dorothy's budget, so she feels that other actors can be slightly more expensive.

Wang Quan doesn't care about the remuneration, he only cares about whether the script and actors fit the role.

"I will give you the complete script within a week. Then I will go to Bad Robot now. I was supposed to go over yesterday to supervise the post-production."

"Well, okay, let's divide our forces and I'll continue to work on the plan with Hussein."

Wang Quan suggested, "I think we can increase Internet publicity and use the power of online platforms, such as YouTube, which has been very popular recently and is very popular among young people. I am very familiar with their founder."

"Youtu..." Dorothy thought thoughtfully after hearing this.

"Abandon, abandon..." Yang Mi's pronunciation of English words became more and more standard. Even Liu Yifei praised her, "Well, it's a very standard American pronunciation."

"Ah, Sissi, why are you here? You came specifically to see me!"
