You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 555 Look at 50℃ Gray for Valentine’s Day

Wang Quan flipped through the script and saw that the name was "Carnival". He knew this script.

Knowing that he couldn't concentrate on reading the script, Yu Feihong simply stretched out one hand to grasp Wang Quan's lifeline while explaining the origin of the script to him.

"Before you returned to Beijing, the Directors Association held several meetings. During the meeting, I met Wen Yan, the author of this script. She is also the producer of "Fireworks in the Day" and has been collaborating with director Diao Yinan all year round."

Wang Quan pecked Sister Fei Hong on the lips and encouraged her to continue.

Yu Feihong: "The subject matter of this story is relatively bold. It talks about underage girls and rape. Wenyan hopes to attract social attention through this film. Originally she planned to direct it herself, but after meeting me, she thought I was The most suitable director for this book.”

Wang Quan sighed with emotion: "This director Wen Yan is very stylish."

Although Yu Feihong has only directed two films, "To Youth" was the former champion of Chinese-language films, and it also influenced the subsequent youth-themed films, which can be regarded as a pioneer.

Not to mention that Yu Feihong is a high-ranking executive in Wangdao and is also the producer of many classic movies. Her becoming the director will definitely attract far more attention than Fumi Yan.

"However, this kind of subject usually does not have a high box office. If you win prizes, it also depends on your luck." Wang Quan said.

"It doesn't matter, the investment won't be too high. I'm still sure of getting my money back," Yu Feihong pinched, "You don't support me?"

Wang Quan bared his teeth and said: "Support, full support!"

Then Wang Quan asked Sister Fei Hong to adjust her sitting posture, and he would go all out to support her!

In fact, "To Youth" is not only a youth theme, but also a female theme. Sister Fei Hong has always paid attention to women and actively spoke for women. Sister Fei Hong really found the right person to film "Carnival".

I can’t catch up today, but next year Wangdao will produce another award-winning masterpiece.

Wang Quan worked overtime at Sister Fei Hong's place and didn't return home until it was almost dark and met Sissi Mimi and Xiao Xianmi.

The family had a meal together, and Wang Quan played with his daughter for a while. He didn't dare to look at his wife and girlfriend until he fully recovered.

These two days have been quite intense.

When Wang Quan and Sissi were together, Mimi was resting aside and playing with her mobile phone. "Why do we feel that this time we are scheduling "Where Are We Going, Dad 2" not as good as last year? The box office was obviously so good last year, but this time it feels like there is no bonus at all. ah."

There was just over a week left before the Spring Festival release, and Power World's stock price had been very stable, so she pointed to this movie as a stimulus.

Wang Quan smiled and said: "Maybe the star lineup is not very strong, and the celebrity babies this year are not as popular as last year."

Variety shows rarely get better and better. They usually hit their peak at the beginning, and then get worse every season until they are eliminated by the market.

Today's lineup of celebrity dads is actually much stronger than last year, including Hong Kong actor Wu Zhenyu, mainland idols Lu Yi and Huang Lei, Olympic gymnastics champion Yang Wei, and a singing Cao Ge.

It's only the second season, and it doesn't have the same freshness as last year. Besides, except for Wu Zhenyu's horror movies, which can still make some money at the box office, the others have no status in the film industry.

Yang Mi sighed: "It's a pity that Liu Ye refuses to reward him. His Nuoyi is a mixed-race baby, and he looks cute. What a suitable candidate. Moreover, Liu Ye is a popular student with a very interesting personality."

At that time, Mi Shidu offered a sky-high price that exceeded Deng Chao's, but Liu Ye still did not agree.

Wang Quan chuckled: "I do have a bad idea."

"Say it quickly?" Yang Mi said anxiously.

Wang Quan asked her to push him from behind.

Then he told her: "You can invite Hu Jun and his son first, and then tell Liu Ye that Hu Jun will participate. I don't know if it will have any effect."

Liu Yifei, who was at the front, turned around and asked, "Why is this effective?"

She and Hu Jun are old friends. Why didn't she know that Brother Jun and Liu Ye had such a deep friendship?

Yang Mi's eyes lit up and she understood instantly. She patted Sissi across the royal court and said, "Don't you know about "Lanyu" yet?"

""Lan Yu"? Is it the movie in which Liu Ye won the Golden Horse Award? I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it."

Wang Quan laughed: "There's no need to watch it. You just know that they played a couple in that movie."

"Ah!?" Liu Yifei was startled, and then she was startled again.

But we can't blame her. She hadn't gone to Nortel when this movie was released. Even if she went to Nortel, she probably wouldn't have spent much time in school.

The dissemination of this kind of banned film in Nortel is much faster than that of ordinary films. Normal Nortel students will basically not miss it. I think back then, several brothers in Wang Quan's dormitory once competed with Liu Ye on the computer.

Yang Mi fully affirmed Wang Quan's idea, but Wang Quan added: "But Liu Ye may not have a schedule. He has accepted director Cao's new film "The Murderer"."

"Filming a variety show, one season only lasts a month, so it doesn't take much time." Yang Mi was determined to bite Liu Ye off.

Wang Quan let her go with his hands, and then asked them, "I will probably be in Xiangjiang on Valentine's Day. Which of you two is going to accompany me then?"

Yang Mi pointed at Liu Yifei, "I am the wife, she is the lover, let her go."

Liu Yifei did not agree: "I still have to take care of your little lover, so you should let another little lover accompany you."

This is passed on to Xiao Yu'er. Wang Quan nodded. If neither of you comes, then I'll let it go.

The next day, the 10th China Film Directors Association Annual Commendation Conference was officially held.

The time was eight o'clock in the evening, and Wang Quan went there in the afternoon, because today's commendation meeting was different.

In addition to announcing the new leadership team, this time the awards will be presented together with the Screenwriters Association. Wang Quan is the vice president of the Screenwriters Association, and even the office space of the Screenwriters Association is provided free of charge by Wangdao Building.

In previous years, the Directors Association would select Screenwriter of the Year, but this year it has become three awards: Original Screenplay of the Year, Adapted Screenplay of the Year and Potential Screenplay.

In addition to the potential scripts, which are selected by senior executives of the Screenwriters Association, the other two are selected by members of the Directors Association and the Screenwriters Association.

Several leaders from King Power and the Writers Guild, as well as several nominated screenwriters, will be in attendance.

Because of the addition of the Screenwriters Guild, there are two more awards at once. This year is an attempt. If successful, we will not rule out adding the Photography Association and the Performing Arts Association in the future, so that everyone can participate in the grand event.

When the time comes, forget about the Directors Association Award and Editors Association Award, just call it the Chinese Film Association Award, or change it to a more resounding name.

Because of the special nature of this year, the lineup of participating stars is also very strong. Yang Mi and Liu Yifei all attended this event after leaving their children with Mei Yanqiu. Although there was no nomination this time, awards can be given, mainly to support the king's power.

Moreover, this time there is a red carpet for the Directors Association Awards, which naturally attracts creatures like female celebrities.

However, Wang Quan did not walk the red carpet with the two of them, but walked the red carpet with Lin Chiling.

The box office performance of both of them last year can only be said to be passable, not comparable to their peak period in 2013. The most popular actress at the box office last year was undoubtedly Lin Chiling.

One "Charlotte" and one "I'm Not Wang Mao" together have a combined revenue of almost 3 billion, and their box office momentum is close to that of Xian Mi, Li Bingbing, Ni Ni and others.

Because the two were going to present an award together, they walked the red carpet together, and even sat next to each other after they took their seats.

Many of Wang Quan's old acquaintances came, including Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Ni Ni, and Zhang Zilin. It was hard to say hello to them.

The host was also invited by Lan Yu, a new female host from the movie channel, who was very professional. However, when she heard the name, Liu Yifei couldn't help but be startled and thought of that boy-boy movie again.

Wang Quan carried forward his style and did not sit in the front row, letting the old gentlemen sit in the front.

An important reason why people like this award is that there are not so many leaders speaking.

Due to the change of office this year, the old president Huang Jianxin and the new president Huo Jianqi each took the stage to speak a paragraph. In addition, President Wang Xingdong of the Screenwriters Association was invited to speak a paragraph, and the main show began.

In the Young Director of the Year award, Zhao Xiaoxi, the director of "I'm Not Wang Mao," defeated several young directors such as Han Han, Zhang Mo, Han Yan, and Qiaomei Rinpoche.

Moreover, Han Han was also present today. It was a pity that he did not hear his name. It seems that he really wants to work in the film industry. He also specially set up a film company, Tingdong Pictures.

At this moment, he was sitting together with the new director Deng Chao, who had not even been nominated. The two were muttering, wondering if they were talking about cooperation.

The competition for actress of the year is fierce, including Fan Bingbing from "Gone Girl", Ni Ni from "Twenty Again", Mei Ting from "Massage", Gui Lunmei from "Fireworks" and "Dear" 》Yan Bingyan.

In the end, Fan Bingbing defeated the favorite Yan Bingyan and won this award for the first time, and he received it from Xian Mi. Gee, this feeling is very good.

In terms of Actor of the Year, Wang Baoqiang and Liao Fan are the two favorites, but Baoqiang still beats Berlin Best Actor Liao Fan. Wang Mao will become his representative role together with Sha Gen and Xu Sanduo.

The winner of the adapted screenplay of the year is Ma Yingli for "Massage", adapted from the novel of the same name by teacher Bi Feiyu.

The winner of the original screenplay of the year is "Fireworks in the Day", and the screenwriter is director Diao Yinan himself.

Next Wang Quan and the slender Lin Chiling took the stage to present the annual potential script award.

First of all, Lin Chiling asked in a coquettish voice: "Director, I don't quite understand, what does the Annual Potential Screenplay Award mean?"

Wang Quan explained: "The potential script is that the movie has not been released yet, or may not even have been filmed, but such a script appeared last year, and was selected internally by our Screenwriters Association, and the creators were commended. Therefore, I also hope that playwrights and directors who have confidence in their scripts but cannot find investment can actively apply for this award from our Screenwriters Guild, and maybe they will be shortlisted, and maybe they will be chosen by investors."

"Oh, that's what it means. It's a very interesting award. Let's take a look at the nomination list."

The five people in the audience were sitting at attention.

The nominees are "Carnival" Wen Yan, "Maze of the Heart" Xin Yukun, "Wolf Totem" Lu Wei, "Master" Xu Haofeng, "The Chaser" Zhang Tianhui and Yang Jianjun."

Among them, only "Wolf Totem" has been filmed, the other four have not yet been filmed, and Teacher Lu Wei is not here.

After introducing the five scripts, Wang Quan asked Lin Chiling to read out the winners.

"Congratulations to Xin Yukun, the scriptwriting teacher of "Maze of the Heart"..."

After "Breaking Silence", Xin Yukun worked on it for more than two years and finally completed the script.

Wang Quan feels that it is even more exquisite than the original version of Time and Space, and it should start filming this year. There is no need to save money this time, Wang Dao will provide him with the best support, including behind the scenes and the cast.

However, Xin Yukun said that he does not need a big star, as long as he has good acting skills.

After this somewhat fresh award was presented, the Film of the Year was won by "The Tribulation of the Ming Dynasty", and the top Director of the Year Award was awarded to Lou Ye of "Massage".

Director Lou is also unlucky. Many of his films have been banned, so he rarely participates in mainland awards. This time he finally won a heavyweight award, but he doesn't know if the Golden Rooster Awards will continue to ignore him.

Although he can also get filming funds from Europe, the funds in Europe are really not as generous as those in China. Look at Wang Dao, he is willing to invest hundreds of millions in making literary films. Wow, I envy Lao Mouzi and Huo Jianqi.

But don’t even think about being a disciple of Wang Quan. I, Lou, have a strong bone!

After the awards, the Potential Screenplay Award sparked heated discussions online. As the only Spring Festival film nominated in this award, "Wolf Totem" and the classic work of screenwriter Lu Wei were also uncovered.

Taking advantage of this shareholder trend, China Film launched a wave of marketing, which finally increased the proportion of films scheduled for "Wolf Totem" by a small amount. The pre-sale box office growth rate was also good, but the film schedule was still only in single digits.

"Wolf Totem" and "Up to the Sky" are the only Spring Festival movies with single-digit slates.

And with less than ten days left before the Spring Festival, several new films have been released on the mainland market.

Everyone knows how serious the competition is during the Spring Festival, and the distributors behind these movies also know that they will definitely not have any movies lined up after the Spring Festival.

These new movies all have an obvious feature, that is, they are all about love, so they have made up their mind to take advantage of the huge traffic on Valentine's Day on 2.14. Even if they only have a few days at the box office, they might be able to make a big profit. .

Among these movies, the one with the strongest momentum is "There's a Place Only We Know" directed by Xu Jinglei, one of the four veteran actresses. The male protagonist is Xiao Wu, a popular idol who has returned from Kimchi Country, and the female protagonist is Wang Likun.

When this movie was released, "Fifty Shades of Grey" was also released overseas. This was Long Toutou's Valentine's Day gift to the world, and mainland audiences could only see it online.

Don't tell me, the box office is quite strong. Look at the momentum. It easily exceeded 100 million in North America. The key is that after its debut at the Berlin Film Festival, the whole world paid attention to it, and the overseas box office also soared.

At this time, Wang Quan had flown back to Xiangjiang. In addition to his assistant Zhang Tianai, he was accompanied by his former assistant Jiang Shuying, and Lin Zhiling, who had just presented the award with him.

At the same time, the two female stars of Neon also boarded a plane to Xiangjiang.

At this time in Xiangjiang, Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing were also waiting for them. In order to avoid being too ostentatious, they took a step ahead and did not follow Wang Quan's plane.

Fan Bingbing was still aggrieved along the way. If he had known that Lin Zhiling was on the plane, he would have joined in the fun no matter what...
