You don't understand the happiness of the director

When Wang Quan and Nazha were separating and reuniting, Reba posted several Weibo posts.

Someone forwarded tonight’s issue of Running Man.

There is also a group photo of several people taken at Nazha’s house tonight to show their friendship.

Finally, he showed off and tore Naza to pieces again at Naza's house, "But this time Naza has improved~"

Reba is a master of publicity. After a few posts on Weibo, the words "Nazha is so pitiful" became a hot search topic and even topped the number one spot, which also brought the attention of this issue of Running Man to a new level. steps.

Moreover, this issue of Running Man directly inserted a half-minute trailer for "The Legend of the Shark Pearl". This is also the first time that Running Man has promoted a movie in such a straightforward manner.

In the past, there were movies promoted, but that was just the leading actors coming to have fun and tell them the name of the movie and the release date.

"Legend of the Shark Pearl" feels like an advertisement, but this episode of "Running Man" TV stations and video websites combined have at least hundreds of millions of views, covering tens of millions of viewers, and the advertising effect is simply not very good.

The other companies were all eager to see it. Unfortunately, the first season has been recorded. If they want to promote the movie "Running Man", they will have to wait for the next season.

If the previous episodes of Running Man can only be regarded as small hits, now that the first season is about to end, it has become a phenomenal variety show comparable to the first seasons of "Where Are We Going, Dad" and "I Am a Singer".

Nowadays, no one laughs at Deng Chao's stupidity in participating in variety shows. In three months, he almost equaled or even surpassed the audience popularity and mass base accumulated by the other three students through many classic TV series.

In addition, Deng Chao can direct and act well. He directed "The Breakup Master" with a box office of nearly 1 billion, and acted in "Heart of the Sun", which made him win the Berlin Best Actor and the Golden Rooster Best Actor, which can be said to be a lifetime of honors.

So when it comes to the number one niche, he and senior brother Liu Ye are the most competitive.

The drama is ecstatic and belongs to yes.

Precisely because Running Man is so popular, Qiankun is also planning to release a major Variety Show Running Man movie. However, it is no longer available during the Spring Festival, so it can be scheduled in early March, when the first season has just finished airing and the popularity is still there.

When Nazha returned to the bedroom with weak and sore legs, Reba was chatting with her brothers in the group about the response to this episode.

Seeing Nazha, Reba put down her phone and said, "Nazha, you are so popular!"

No, drilling wood to make fire is not so immediate. Nazha waved her hand, "I'm tired, take a shower and go to bed."

"Then shall I sleep with you? Then how about we chat in Uyghur, ￥#@*\u0026%..."

On the other side, Wang Quan entered Ni Ni's house after leaving Nazha's house.

Even ten minutes was not enough for Ni Mi, so Wang Quan came over to give Ni Mi a shot. Anyway, Ni Mi thought she wouldn't be back until tomorrow.

The two of them had a good rapport, and Ni Ni was waiting for him in the bathtub.

The built-in TV in the bathroom is playing Mango Channel's TV series "A Thousand Years of Love," starring Jing Boran and Shuangzi.

However, Ni Ni was mainly interested in the female costar. After Wang Quan also came in, she pointed to the female partner in white and introduced: "This is my best friend Zhou Yutong, her acting skills are quite good."

Wang Quan asked with a smile: "You look a generation older than me, how did you make friends?"

"We met while filming "Twenty Again". We had a scene opposite each other, and I'm only six years older than her. How can I be as exaggerated as someone a generation older?"

Wang Quan nodded: "At this age, the acting is not bad."

Then Ni Ni talked about the topic of TV series, "What do you think of me acting in TV series?"

Wang Quan was stunned: "Your old mentor, Director Zhang, should have said that movie actresses should try not to act in TV series."

"That was before. The old concept was that movie actors should maintain a sense of mystery and have a certain distance from the audience. Now they don't stop me from appearing in variety shows, let alone TV series. I just feel that my mass base is too weak."

Apart from the disadvantages of not having a boyfriend like Wang Quan and debuting late, she feels that the biggest gap between herself and Xianmi lies in the base of the masses.

Liu Yifei's four costume dramas established her reputation as Liu Tianxian.

Yang Mi also has phenomenal TV series such as "Little Time 1997", "The Temptation of Going Home" and "My Love from the Star".

And he made his debut in a movie. Although he seems to be high-ranking, he can't catch up with the popularity. The fighting ability of his fans is not even as good as that of Tang Yan and Liu Shishi, who has acted in "Palace" and "Step by Step".

Wang Quan asked her again what movie appointments she had next.

"No, oh, it's just "City in Love", which is equivalent to the heroine of a short film." Ni Ni said.

Sitting in her position, she attaches great importance to her own reputation. In addition, with Li Chong as her manager, she will not be allowed to accept films randomly.

Let's take Zhang Mo's new film "28 Years Old", which he wrote and directed this time. Because Li Chong was dissatisfied with the script, he refused to let Ni Ni take it. You must know that Ni Ni and Zhang Mo are very good friends. "Thirteen Hairpins" began a long-term friendship.

Wang Quan had no problem with Ni Ni wanting to make a TV series. Ni Ni had never been able to find a suitable and satisfactory movie script, and she didn't want to be a sideshow heroine in a movie for a man.

The acting life of an actress is shorter than that of an actor, so you can't waste it because a woman's best years are only these few years.

Moreover, once the TV series is finished, the effect will be no worse than the movie. Yang Mi can become a well-known Asian superstar. "My Love from the Star" may have an even greater impact than "Pacific Rim".

After that, Wang Quan started to make suggestions for Ni Ni's TV series debut, "You must choose a role and type that suits you. If you look like this, you are not suitable for a love drama like "A Little Smile Is Alluring"."

"Wei Wei" is also quite popular, especially in Southeast Asia.

"You mean, I'm ugly?" Ni Ni pointed at herself.

"I didn't say you were ugly, you just weren't sweet enough." Wang Quan kissed her.

"Your appearance is both charming and heroic. You should move closer to this aspect." Wang Quan suddenly thought of Xiao Ai's masterpiece, but he still shook his head. Ni Ni's status is too high, and it is not suitable for such a pediatric film.

"We have several female channel websites under China Literature. Most of the novels there are about female protagonists. Many of the female protagonists are tough-looking and energetic like you. You can choose one later. Then if you shoot it better, maybe it will really be a big hit.”

As for which original work to choose, Wangdao’s staff in charge of the copyright library may need to help make the selection.

Ni Ni was also excited after hearing this, and then asked Wang Quan, "How is your recovery going, director?"

The two of them were just chatting in the bathtub just now. After all, Wang Quan had just come out from Naza not long ago.

Wang Quan waved his hand, "It's almost 12 o'clock. Go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow."

Ni Ni thought there would be no more today, but she didn't expect that after 0 o'clock, Director Quan would come back to life like an electric motor!

Wang Quan: "It's already tomorrow~"

Ni Ni was very moved: It has to be you, my director Quan!

After dawn, Wang Quan came to the Chinese Directors Association to attend the re-election meeting.

Huang Jianxin has served as president for two terms and has served the Directors Association for eight years. According to regulations, a new leadership team must be replaced before the Directors Association awards this year.

Huang Jianxin is 61 years old today. Although his energy is still good, he feels a lot more relaxed after handing over the position of president today. In the future, he can focus more on the work of Wang Dao and the Three Stooges.

After the establishment of the Directors Association, there have been four leadership groups. The first president was Xie Tieli, the second president was Wu Yigong, and then Huang Jianxin Lianzhuang.

It can be seen that the rule of choosing the president is usually a director who is highly respected and has almost retired, and will hardly make much difference in the film career.

Therefore, great directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, who are young and powerful and often create frequently, can only serve as vice presidents at most.

It is even more impossible for Wang Quan to participate in the president's battle. He will not consider it at all before he is fifty.

But the Directors Association is also very important to him. If Wang Quan wants to change the current situation of the domestic film industry and make it develop in a good direction, he must control the Directors Association.

Therefore, after Huang Jianxin came down, Wang Quan still hoped to support a director from the royal family.

In the end, director Huo Jianqi took on this important task. He is 57 years old. His frequency of directing has decreased, and he feels that his energy is not as good as before.

It's better to come to the Directors Guild to use your remaining energy.

So Wang Quan was present in person today just to support Director Huo.

After all, he was not the only choice, his competitor was director Li Shaohong.

Li Shaohong has not directed a movie since Chen Kun and Yang Mi's "The Gate" had a big hip.

And the films she directed before can't be compared with director Huo Jianqi, and "Fireworks in the World" surpassed all her films in a second.

Of course, Li Shaohong also has advantages. She runs her own company and has a wider network of people. Moreover, she grew up in the Beijing Film Studio. She is a second-generation director and is more established and popular.

Coincidentally, both of them are legendary Nortel Class of ’78.

It's just that Li Shaohong majored in directing, and Huo Jianqi majored in fine arts. This is because Li Daogen is really popular.

However, in the end it was Huo Jianqi who was elected as the president of the fifth leadership team of the Directors Association with a clear advantage.

Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief. Those who supported Li Shaohong were basically old people who no longer filmed. Those who supported Huo Jianqi were basically newcomers, as well as those old people who were still active on the front line of movies.

In fact, it is a battle between the new school and the old school. If the royal power wants to reform, he must win this election.

However, Li Shaohong also became the vice president, and the vice presidents also included Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yang, He Ping, Zhang Jianya, and Zhang Guoli.

He Ping concurrently serves as the Secretary-General, and Liu Yiwei serves as the Deputy Secretary-General.

In addition, Wang Quan, Yu Feihong, and Cao Baoping also became executive members this year, considered to have entered the management of the Directors Association.

However, there are more than twenty executive members, including Ning Hao and Xu Jinglei, so it doesn't matter even if Wang Quan doesn't come during the meeting, he can let Sister Fei Hong fully represent him.

The election results will be officially announced at the Directors Association Commendation Meeting tomorrow.

Wang Quan came on stage and shook hands with Director Huo Jianqi to express his congratulations.

Huo Jianqi knew that being the president of the association was equivalent to Wang Quan, and he was Wang Quan's puppet on the table.

But he was willing to be this puppet. Since Wang Quan returned to China, Chinese-language films have been booming, with excellent commercial and literary films being produced frequently.

And he also made the best work of his career as a director, and received numerous honors internationally.

Director Huo firmly believes that this little boy who once stared at him while filming on his set will become a pillar of Chinese-language films and lead Chinese-language films to a better tomorrow.

So a puppet is just a puppet, and some people are even willing to be dogs.

But he was a little embarrassed and muttered, "After becoming the president, will I not be able to make movies, or even if I make them, I won't be able to participate in reviews?"

Wang Quan was stunned: "Director Huo, are you so creative? I'm not used to it."

According to Director Huo's habit, it's normal to have one film every four to five years.

Huo Jianqi pulled Wang Quan and said, "I am really a little impulsive about such a subject."

In order to show respect, Wang Quan took Huo Jianqi back to Wangdao Building to chat slowly, but it was a pity for Sister Fei Hong, who originally wanted to go home with her first.

In the royal office, Huo Jianqi took a sip of tea and said, "Do you know what my first movie experience was?"

Wang Quan shook his head.

Huo Jianqi said: "It's "Havoc in Heaven"!"

"Oh~" Wang Quan calculated the time and made the right decision.

“I was only six years old when ‘The House of Heaven’ came out, but I watched it when I was seven.”

"1965?"

"Yes, at that time we had less film output, and even fewer of these high-quality films. It was normal to screen them for one or two years. There were no professional box office statistics like today, but at that time there must have been over 100 million viewers across the country. "

"The memory of an era." Wang Quan sighed.

"Yes, I can still remember the details in the movie," Huo Jianqi said, "The directors of "Havoc in Heaven" are Mr. Wan Laiming and Director Tang Cheng, and Mr. Wan Laiming and his three younger brothers are our Chinese The founder of animation, I actually want to make a biopic.”

In the original time and space, director Huo had already filmed the biopic "Xiao Hong", but this time he did not film "Xiao Hong", but unexpectedly he focused on the four Wan brothers.

He told Wang Quan: "I was influenced by Yi Mou's "The Return". I didn't expect that a biopic could be so beautiful and watchable. At that time, I wanted to make a biopic for our Chinese film industry."

Wang Quan smiled, and the butterfly's little wings started to flap.

"At that time, I thought about Director Xie Jin, Director Fei Mu, and Mr. Li Minwei, the father of Chinese documentaries. His stories and experiences could be combined with the several wars of the Republic of China and the cooperation and confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It’s also very dramatic.”

Mr. Lai Minwei is the grandfather of Hong Kong star Lai Zi. He is one of the founders of Chinese cinema and is known as the "Father of Chinese Documentary."

During the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Li Minwei went to the front line of the Northern Expedition to shoot on the spot. He captured important figures during the First Civil Revolutionary War, such as Sun Zhongshan, Li Dazhao, and Premier Zhou Enlai, and created a batch of extremely precious news documentaries. After the incident, Li Minwei came to Hong Kong and continued to carry out anti-Japanese propaganda work.

It’s really interesting to shoot history and historical figures from the perspective of a documentary filmmaker.

"But in the end I decided to film the four Wan brothers. From their determination to devote themselves to animation, to "Princess with the Iron Fan", and finally to the birth of "Havoc in Heaven", it is probably a three-act structure, trying to be as suitable for ordinary audiences as possible. taste."

It seems that he has gained a lot from directing a commercial film this time, and he also knows how to take care of the viewing pleasure of ordinary audiences.

Wang Quan also became energetic, "When filming the part of "The Iron Fan Princess", I must mention Osamu Tezuka's visit."

"Yes, yes, I've thought of it too, hahaha," Huo Jianqi said with a smile, "Although the script hasn't been written yet, I already thought about how to shoot the movie at the beginning."

"Oh?" Wang Quan looked like he was willing to hear the details.

Huo Jianqi said: "The four Wan brothers, Mr. Wan Laiming and Mr. Wan Guchan, are twin brothers, as you know."

Wang Quan nodded. He had visited Shangmei Factory, so he naturally knew this anecdote, because the two gentlemen looked exactly the same and had caused a lot of interesting things.

Cao Baoping said: "At the beginning of the movie, Mr. Wan is thinking, and another identical Mr. Wan is chattering around him, just like his id and his subconscious self."

"Deliberately misleading?"

"Then we use camera language to tell the audience that they are twins."

Wang Quan clapped his hands and applauded, "Now the audience likes to say that I know the ending when I see the beginning to show that I have a high number of movie viewers. It doesn't matter if I make a joke with these people. Director Huo, we support this film royally. We must Take good photos, this piece of history, the stories of these four gentlemen are worth remembering."

Our animation industry used to be at the forefront of the world, but unfortunately it was surpassed by Japan and the United States and left far behind. With the release of "The Return of the Great Sage", the revival of domestic animation is already foreseeable in the future, and this biopic has also become a more meaningful.

Huo Jianqi sighed, "You said that I am already the president of the Directors Association, so I am worried that I will be busy with official duties and will not have the energy to film."

"You still don't know how to be a leader. You are the president. If you have anything to do, let the vice-president and secretary-general do it. Especially the secretary-general. He should actually do the main work." Wang Quan looked like he had experienced it. .

"Ah, is this good?"

"What's wrong? I'm really looking forward to your new film. I'll start the project now!"

So the two decided happily, but Huo Jianqi had to collect materials from his wife first, and the couple still worked on the script together.

After seeing Huo Jianqi off and seeing that there was still time, Wang Quan came to Yu Feihong's office.

As soon as the door was locked, I went over and hugged Xiangxiang's good sister.

"Oh, don't make trouble."

"What are you looking at?"

"New script," Yu Feihong said, "my next directorial work."
