You don't understand the happiness of the director

Yang Mi listened close to the door for a long time, but it was nothing. It was just "whining", which was probably because she was talking loudly.

In order to show the hospitality of the Chinese people, Yang Mi invited Sophie Marceau to her home. After all, Wang Quan often bothered Sophie Marceau's house when he went to France.

However, Liu Yifei was worried, fearing that this French rose would steal their husband's soul away.

Yang Mixin said, she is not much younger than her mother-in-law, so you are overthinking it.

However, I still followed Liu Yifei's idea and came over to steal the wall. Wang Quan was chatting inside, and it sounded like nothing was wrong.

"You, just have a good vacation in Sanya. If you miss him, come back early. But you have to book your return ticket in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to buy it." Yang Mi joked.

"Don't worry about that, his plane will come to pick me up."

Yang Mi snorted: "That's too much. You're already married and you're lending your private jet to your ex-girlfriend. The media won't expose yours."

"I'm not afraid of being exposed. I can borrow a car, but I can't borrow an airplane. If I'm pressed, I'll say I'm renting it."

The two chatted incessantly. Yang Mi also wanted to celebrate the New Year with Liu Yifei, but she and Sister Xiaoli had to spend time with their grandmother, and the house they bought in Sanya had to be used.

After Yang Mi left, Sophie Marceau's voice in the room became louder. Her voice was really good. Even if she couldn't become a great actress, she could still be a qualified singer.

After eating breakfast cooked by the Wang family cook the next day, Sophie Marceau went back to the hotel to stay. Now the program has been confirmed, but rehearsals and recording still have to be done.

Although the Spring Festival Gala is nominally a live broadcast, it will be recorded one by one in advance. If there are errors in the program, adjustments can be made in time and the previously recorded videos will be released to the audience in front of the TV.

After seeing off Sophie Marceau, Wang Quan and Yang Mi went to the airport and picked up Gal Gadot and Alice.

When Gadot called her daughter out of the airport, Alice corrected her, "When you get to China, please call me by my Chinese name."

"Okay, Wang Duoyu."

"Can't you be a little more affectionate?"

"OK, Xiao Yu'er~"

Only then was Xiao Yuer satisfied. She was already four years old, a quirky little person, and she was tall. She had the same legs as her mother and looked like a primary school student.

In Los Angeles before, even sister Juno, who was more than three years older than her, was about the same height as her.

This time Gadot brought her daughter back to China, firstly to celebrate the Spring Festival, and also to promote "Cold Front". She is the heroine of this movie.

Wang Quan's renewed collaboration with his ex-girlfriend, mother of his eldest daughter, and international superstar Gal Gadot is the biggest selling point of this movie, and is more attractive than Wu Jing and Huang Xiaoming combined.

The main poster used to promote the film has Gadot in the middle, with Wu Jing and Huang Xiaoming standing on the left and right.

After picking up the two of them, Yang Mi looked at Xiao Yu'er in the car, while Wang Quan held Jia Duo and looked at her.

Xiao Yu'er was used to it and didn't think there was any problem with it at all.

Then there was an exchange, Wang Quan picked up Xiao Yu'er, and Jia Duo and Yang Mi exchanged greetings.

The car started and Wang Quan said: "Go back to your parents' house and make them happy."

But as they walked, Xiao Yuer immediately realized something was wrong, "This is not the way to grandpa's house!"

Wang Quan was amused: "How long has it been since you came to the capital, and you still remember the way?"

"Of course, I have a good memory!"

Wang Quan smiled even more happily, this child is as smart as he is.

Yang Mi explained, "Grandpa has moved. From now on, we will have you, a younger brother, and the one in my belly who I don't know is a younger brother or a younger sister. There are too many children, and the previous home seems a bit small, so we changed it." a house."

"Is it still a courtyard house?" Xiao Yu'er asked. She preferred the urban atmosphere of a courtyard house.

When you go out, there are many children of the same age playing together. It’s not like living in a building or a villa. The relationship between the neighbors is very unfamiliar. And less than a hundred meters away, there are a lot of food selling, such as fried liver with soybean juice and donkey rolling, hey, then Call it an authentic one.

"That's right." Yang Mi smiled, "This time it's a large courtyard with three entrances."

In fact, this courtyard also belongs to Lao Wang. The courtyard with three entrances is more than 1,000 square meters, and the underground garage has been renovated to accommodate more than a dozen cars.

It's just that it was previously rented to a local chamber of commerce for entertainment purposes, but it expired last year. Because the price of the courtyard house had risen too high, and the rent had doubled several times, the other party couldn't afford to rent it anymore, so Lao Wang simply stopped renting it out and started a new lease. Decorate it and keep it for yourself.

In the past, when I lived alone and my son and granddaughter came back occasionally, a small courtyard house of more than 300 square meters was enough.

Now that he and his wife are remarried, they are about to have three grandchildren. There is also a mother of three grandchildren. Maybe Sissi can add another one in the future.

If so many children move in at the same time, the small yard will be too crowded. In order to let the children play comfortably, Lao Wang spent tens of millions of rent this year.

This three-entry courtyard is located near Nanluogu Lane, and is probably very close to the courtyard where Sha Zhu lives.

After entering the new home, Xiao Yuer asked excitedly, "Which is my room?"

Her grandparents happily took her to find a house, and there were toys she had left behind in the room.

After a tiring trip, Gadot was ready to take a rest, but Xiao Yuer was full of energy, so Wang Quan proposed to take her to visit the nearby Nanluoguxiang attractions, just the father and daughter.

"Yeah!"

"Let's go, put on the mask~"

After turning a few corners, you can see the lively Nanluogu Alley. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there seem to be fewer foreign tourists, and it is more lively usually.

There are a lot of things to eat and do here, but they are all pretty routine. Wang Quan is not very interested, but this is Xiao Yuer's first time here, so everything she sees is new.

Along the way, I ate a lot even if Wang Quan persuaded me to do so, so I guess I could save dinner.

When Xiao Yu'er was hesitating whether to eat a bunch of grilled scorpions, an uncertain voice from a girl came from behind, "Director Quan?"

Wang Quan looked back. He was young and energetic, with long legs. He looked familiar. Oh, I remembered him.

"Xiao Zhang~"

Zhang Yishang was very excited, "I didn't expect you to still remember me!"

When "Li Xianji" selected young actors, she was not selected, but that experience also inspired her, and she eventually passed the art test of the Chinese Opera.

And this place is not too far from Zhongxi. Wang Quan noticed that there were two girls behind her. They were also pretty, and their appearance was not inferior to that of Zhang Yishang.

Both women were a little excited and even greeted Wang Quan tremblingly. Unexpectedly, they met the most powerful man in the entertainment industry before they even entered the entertainment industry!

However, Zhang Yishang didn't mean to introduce them. She was busy saying hello to Xiao Yu'er and buying her roasted scorpions. They also knew each other at the filming scene, and Xiao Yu'er was a star among the stars at that time.

Wang Quan hurriedly stopped him, "She doesn't dare to eat it, so no need."

Xiao Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief. If she really bought it for herself, she would probably try one just to save face.

"By the way, why are you here and why haven't you gone home yet? It's New Year's Eve tomorrow." Wang Quan asked again.

Zhang Yishang smiled and said: "We are all classmates who have just passed the Chinese Theater Arts Examination. We booked the tickets for tonight. We got to the station early and couldn't leave, so we came here to hang out. I didn't expect to meet you."

"Oh, your Chinese drama class is really full of talents. I also know two boys, and they have both passed the art exam."

"Are they Chen Xingxu and Dong Zijian?"

Wang Quan smiled and said: "It seems that they are very popular."

"That is, a child star debuted, a son of Wang Jingcheng, and even won the Best Actor. The people at the starting line are almost at the finish line."

Wang Quan laughed and asked again: "I know Zhou Yiran was admitted to Nortel, and Liu Meitong, you should be in the same class."

Zhang Yishang immediately realized that Zhou Yiran was still in contact with director Quan. Maybe she would take the Nortel exam and Wang Quan would say hello to the school. He was so envious!

"Oh, Meitong is taking the exam to go to theater."

Wang Quan nodded, and he didn't favor one over the other. Then he asked the names of the other two girls who were traveling with him.

They reported their family name, one was named Kang Keren, from Sichuan Province.

The other one is Sun Xian, from Harbin. He is quite tall, a bit like Quan Zhixian.

Wang Quan encouraged him for a few words and then separated from them. However, although he was gone, he would always be alive in the mouths of the three girls.

Kang Keren touched Zhang Yishang and said, "Hiding it quite deep, I actually know Director Quan!"

"I just auditioned. After all, I wasn't selected. There's no need to publicize it in a big way."

Kang Keren sighed: "Li Xianji, if you are selected, maybe you will be nominated for the Golden Horse Best Newcomer."

"Ah, you also said that the more you talk about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes for me."

"Oops!" Sun Xian, a girl from the Northeast, suddenly said in annoyance, "I actually forgot to ask for an autograph and take a photo."

Zhang Yishang said proudly: "I still have some autographs there, but there's nothing I can do about taking a photo. I can't put you in it."

Sun Xian sighed, "I don't know if we will have another chance to meet him in the future, but I have to say that Director Quan is such a good father. I think the directors and actors in the Spring Festival are all busy, but he still has time to spend with his children."

Zhang Yishang said in his heart, who can say otherwise? I also want to call him daddy.

After returning home, in order to prevent being stabbed in the back by Xiao Yu'er, Wang Quan took the initiative to confess that he met three Chinese opera girls in Nanluogu Lane, including one who had auditioned on the crew of "Li Xianji" before.

Yang Mi chuckled, "At eighteen, you can pinch water."

Xiao Yu'er still couldn't help but say: "And the sisters are very beautiful and very tall."

"No wonder I came back after chatting for so long."

"What? It's Xiao Yu'er who wasted time," Wang Quan pushed four, five, six, and added, "But I think you can pay attention to these new girls from China Drama. They do have great potential."

Yang Mi also nodded seriously, "Okay, but the freshmen from Nortel in the past two years really don't have any special features. They are pretty and very similar. Our company only accepted one at level 13."

Speaking of the only one, Yang Mi said with a smile, "This girl is from the Northeast. She is very tall and looks like Gu Linaza. Although I can't really sign in, Wan Wan Leiqing is not bad at all."

Wang Quan laughed and said, "Wan Wan Lei Qing, where did you learn the lyrics?"

At this time, Gadot woke up after a long sleep. Wang Quan quickly changed the topic, "Let's eat, let's eat!"

As expected, Xiao Yu'er used her chopsticks a few times when faced with a dinner that was comparable to a top-notch restaurant.

The next day was New Year's Eve, and the head of the family, Lao Wang, made the following arrangements.

The female relatives at home pasted Spring Festival couplets and hung lanterns, "Mimi, don't climb high, do something within your ability. Xiao Yuer, you are too young, so you are not allowed to climb. Yanzi, let young people go to places that are too high." Do."

Gadot listened for a long time and understood, the hard work, tiring work and dangerous work are mine.

As for Lao Wang and Xiao Wang, they have to go back to their hometown to visit their graves. In the past, they might have to stay at home for two days, but this year Lao Wang and Xiao Wang both got married, so they will go back after noon.

Transportation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is very convenient, and you can get to your hometown in three hours.

As in previous years, cousin Chen Chuling and cousin Zhou Peng went back to their hometown with them, but this time they just spent the New Year's Eve at home and had to return to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation on the first day of the new year.

Wangdao has "Leng Feng", and Maoyan has released "Leng Feng" and "Bear Infested", and is also a co-releaser of "I'm Not Wang Mao". This is the first year that Wangdao has divested its publishing function, and it is also the first time that Maoyan has participated in the Spring Festival war. Can't live without people.

In the car, Lao Wang reported the good news to Wang Quan, "Awesome! The pre-sale box office of "Leng Feng" has exceeded 50 million, accounting for 50% of the total pre-sales! This time the 2 billion box office should be stable."

Wang Quan shook his head: "The high pre-sales show that I personally still have some appeal, but when the audience enters the cinema tomorrow and finds that "Leng Feng" has no good place, it will naturally be dispersed to other movies. Watching movies during the Spring Festival has now changed. It has become a kind of social behavior during the Spring Festival.”

"Yes, it can even be said to be a necessity," Lao Wang said. "For the Dawang Cinema in our hometown county, the box office on the first day of the Spring Festival last year was 50,000 yuan a day, while on weekdays it was only more than 1,000 yuan, with dozens of movies. There are only twenty or thirty spectators in total, and on a good weekend there can be two thousand. If it weren’t for such a big schedule, it would be a loss.”

Wang Quan: "Are you going to go to the cinema in your hometown this time?"

Lao Wang shook his head: "I won't go. I don't want to be blocked by the county boss and the city boss to attract investment. The more important thing is to visit the graves of our ancestors."

It seems that Lao Wang has suffered a loss in this regard, so this time he came and went as fast as the wind. After visiting the grave, he had lunch at his uncle's house.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the father and son returned to the courtyard house in Nanluogu Lane.

At this time, the home has a completely new look. Spring couplets and lanterns add to the festive feel. There is a tree in the home, and lanterns are hung on the trees, which can glow when powered on.

Wang Quan quickly hugged Gadot and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, I'm an action movie actress."

Wang Quan said softly: "How about we play a love action movie tonight? After all, staying up late and staying up late is nothing but idleness~"

Jia Duo spat softly, for fear of being heard by her parents-in-law. As for Yang Mi, she heard it when she heard it, and there was nothing she could do to me.

Yang Mi was not in the mood to listen to Qiang Gen now. During the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, she regretted: "In the end, the film schedule of "Where Are We Going, Dad" failed to reach 10%."

Lao Wang also kept an eye on the data on Maoyan, "9.8% is enough. Isn't it only 10.6% for a lineup as strong as "I'm Not Wang Mao", and the pre-sales are not as good as your big variety movie."

Wang Quan also lamented: "This year has been so busy, with lineups like "Leng Feng" not even reaching 30%."

At present, it is basically certain that there will be a total of 168,000 screenings in cinemas across the country on New Year’s Day, an increase of more than 50% over last year!

"Leng Feng"'s first-year film schedule is fixed at 26.6%, with approximately 44,600 shows, ranking first.

"Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" ranked second with 23.9%, with 40,100 screenings, and was the only two films to have more than 20% of screenings.

However, whether it is the proportion of seats or the proportion of prime screenings, "Leng Feng" exceeds 30%. Judging from pre-sales, it is still the first choice of audiences and the most supportive of theaters.

Since "The Rich Second Generation" created the Spring Festival movie and broke the record in film history, the audience has long been looking forward to his second Spring Festival movie.

It's just that this subject matter is not as palatable as "Journey to the West", otherwise it wouldn't even get 30% of the film schedule.

"I'm Not Wang Mao" and "Omen" are the only second-tier films with more than 10%, and "Omen" is slightly higher.

In addition, the film schedule of "The Ex-Raiders" is better than that of "Bear Bears" and "Pleasant Goat", but its pre-sales were beaten by "Bear Bears". This Spring Festival newcomer still has some respect among children.

The whole family except Mei Yanqiu were all filmmakers, and the discussion was in full swing. When she saw that she was almost done eating, she looked at the time and immediately said: "Okay, stop now, let's start watching the Spring Festival Gala. This year's director is Feng Xiaogang, and I heard that the quality is pretty good. .”

So I put the dishes in the kitchen temporarily, turned on the TV first, and then took the time to wash the dishes while waiting for the song and dance show.

From about this moment, Wang Quan's cell phone began to become restless, with New Year's greetings text messages and WeChat messages pouring in.

In order to attract his attention, some people directly send red envelopes on WeChat, and they are talking about you, Little Fatty Fan!

WeChat red envelope is a function that WeChat just launched two days ago. It is prepared for this Spring Festival. It is also a big killer that Wang Quan has said before. From then on, WeChat’s payment function has been completely confirmed and can compete with Alipay.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala began. First, there was a short film. Feng Xiaogang invited a bunch of his and Hua Yi's friends and celebrities to record a VCR titled "What is the Spring Festival Gala?"

Then came the opening song "365 Days of Missing You", featuring Li Wen, Sha Baoliang, Zhang Liangying and Lin Zhixuan.

A mentor from "The Voice of China", two contestants from "I Am a Singer", both of which were the most popular music programs last year, and one from the veteran "Super Girl".

Mei Yanqiu was surprised: "Yao Beina sings so well, why isn't she there?"

Wang Quan had seen the program list leaked online and replied: "She is the champion, special treatment, she is a soloist."

"Yeah, that's awesome."

The next two shows were singing and dancing. The bored Wang Quan suggested, "Mom, why don't we create a WeChat group to compete for red envelopes."

"Red envelope?"

It seems that this new function has not yet been adopted by Mei Yanqiu. Wang Quan immediately taught her, Mimi taught Jia Duo, and Lao Wang gave his granddaughter two spare machines.

Six people created an "I Love My Family Group". Wang Quan thought about it and added Liu Yifei to the group. Everyone had no objections.

Liu Yifei: What are you doing?

Wang Quan: The rules for grabbing red envelopes are as follows. I will start by handing out a red envelope worth 200 yuan. Whoever grabs the most will hand out a red envelope worth 200 yuan, and so on.

Liu Yifei was watching the Spring Festival Gala and other Ruyi programs with her mother and grandmother. When she heard this suggestion, she immediately became energetic, "Okay, come on!"

Wang Quan was also unlucky. He was the first to give out the red envelope, but he turned out to be the luckiest. He grabbed 50 yuan and had to give out another 200 yuan. He felt like he wouldn't be able to recoup his money tonight.

In fact, the luckiest ones are those who get the second highest score without having to give out red envelopes.

After playing seven or eight rounds, Yang Mi said: "Stop for a moment, let's do a skit."

Mei Yanqiu: "Cai Ming's sketch should be boring."

Lao Wang said: "But there is a greenhouse, it should be a bit interesting."

Not only his adopted son Dapeng, but also Guo Degang's apprentice Yue Yunpeng, and the fast-talking Sha Shao named "I'm Disturbing You".

While watching, Wang Quan asked Lao Wang: "How is the revision of the script in the greenhouse going?"

"Almost 80%. It was originally planned to be released this summer, but now it seems that it will have to wait until next year, so this year he filmed another season of "Diaosi Men" and even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala."

This skit is generally funny. Cai Ming continues the character of the venomous old lady. Wang Quan and the others continue to give out red envelopes. He has already lost hundreds of dollars, but the most important thing is that everyone is happy.

The next two solo songs, "Where Has the Time Gone" by Wang Zhengliang and "My Demands Are Not Too High" by Huang Bo, performed fairly well.

Then it was the turn of the first highlight of the Spring Festival Gala, "Help or Not" by Shen Tong and Ma Li. The director was none other than Yan Fei and Peng Damo, and Zhao Benshan, consultant of the language group, also made great contributions to the final presentation of this sketch. Outstanding Contribution.

After several song and dance programs, gala band took the stage with "Chasing Dreams".

Before the Spring Festival, this song had become popular all over the country with "Return", but this time the stage was rearranged and designed, and it still caught people's ears.

Wang Quan and the others temporarily stopped playing the red envelope game. Wang Qiankun also told his granddaughter the story of the photos behind the song, which made his eyes turn red.

Liu Yifei, who is far away in Sanya, also listened to the song carefully and felt that she was really honored to participate in "Return". Another thought was, does the domestic military industry need donations? She wanted to donate again.

This song was the second highlight of the night, so much so that the song "Beier Shuang" by Da Zhangwei that followed it seemed boring and couldn't be suppressed at all.

Lao Wang told Wang Quan, "In addition to the eight new films on New Year's Day, theaters all over the country have also reserved 0.2% of the film schedule for "Return". It is estimated that after this song appears in the Spring Festival Gala, there will be many people who want to watch this film."

"Yes, the communication influence of the Spring Festival Gala cannot be compared to that of a movie with more than 20 million viewers." Even though the Spring Festival Gala is no longer at its peak.

When it was close to midnight, Yao Beina finally appeared on stage with the majestic "Tian Yao Zhong Hua". Liu Yifei was ready to sleep after watching this show. With more than 1,000 yuan earned in the "I Love My Family Group", she was lucky Not once "lucky"!

Xiao Yuer was not bad either, earning more than 200 yuan in pocket money, and after the New Year greetings the next day, she also received big red envelopes from her grandfather, grandma, father, mother and Mimi's mother.

Sissi’s mother was far away, so she sent five 200-yuan red envelopes through WeChat and paid in all she earned yesterday.

The biggest winner is Wang Duoyu. With so much money in her hand, she can’t spend it all!

Wang Quan glanced at Maoyan, "Hey guys, the pre-sale box office of "Leng Feng" has exceeded 100 million, and the attendance rate is 40%!

But with this kind of film schedule, can it exceed 200 million in a single day?

After breakfast, he picked up Gadot, the heroine of "Cold Front", and prepared to go to the cinema to feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival...
