You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 582 ① Realism masterpiece ② Chairman Liu Yifei ③ Hugo Award

This news first spread among various agencies and units in Baiyin who had just started working.

For those who are older, which unit did not help to investigate the murderer of the silver case? Even civil servants from several surrounding cities participated.

Because of this case, Baiyin, a small town in the northwest, enjoyed a great reputation nationwide for the first time, but it was not a good reputation.

Then there is the media world. Although self-media has now become the mainstream, print media and TV media are still capable of fighting.

After the news spread, Gansu Province media quickly moved to report the matter, hoping to eliminate the inner demons hanging over the people of Quanbaiyin.

Of course, we also hope that our own media can gain more attention and sales.

This incident was already a huge breaking point, but I didn’t expect it to be related to the world’s number one director Wang Quan. This is so curious. Unfortunately, the announcement only mentioned thanks and did not mention what specifically happened. Media people need to dig deeper.

Everyone knows that Wang Quan filmed the movie "Who is He" related to the Baiyin case in Baiyin in less than a month, and it really made people across the country pay more attention to the Baiyin case. Several local media even I once interviewed Wang Quan.

But just for this reason, I might not be able to thank him and his team in such a formal announcement.

Of course, traditional media cannot respond as quickly as online media.

After all, traditional media, if they have some sense of ethics, would go to the local area to interview relevant parties in the hope of obtaining more details, but online media can just forward the announcement directly and then use it freely.

Just at this time, someone broke the news online, claiming that they were extras who had participated in "Who Is He?" and that they had taken blood for a physical examination before the official filming.

So the self-media took full advantage of this revelation and came to a conclusion that everyone can accept.

Entertainment had known earlier: In fact, the murderer also had his blood drawn at that time and appeared in the movie as an extra!

Whistleblower: The so-called physical examination is actually a trap set by Director Quan and the police for the murderer!

Entertainment Circle: Director Quan expected that the murderer would be very brave and might come to see how the international director filmed him, so he took the opportunity to test his DNA sample!

After hearing what the self-media said, it was right and logical, so the whole Internet believed it, and netizens became excited!

Xia Kexing: Damn it, Director Quan, what kind of fairy director is this? You make a movie to solve a case. I would like to call you the Sherlock Holmes of the director world!

**Lu**: This case can be regarded as one of the top ten unsolved cases in the country. It has not been solved for more than 20 years. Many of the best police officers across the country have been transferred to Baiyin to help. Unexpectedly, a director actually solved it. So cool!

Work hard: I am a silver man, "Who is He" should be released soon, I can't wait for a minute!

Feng Bo Wuhen: I would like to call "Who Is He" a masterpiece of realism? Although I haven't seen it, it really solves things in reality. It's amazing!

Qingfeng flipped through the book without incident: Don't forget that "Lost Orphan" was also a project led by Director Quan. Director Quan helped Guo Gangtang find his son. Director Quan's merits are immeasurable!

Ye Jiuwei: In the past, I felt that no matter how I filmed this kind of subject, it would not be as good as "Memories of Murder." Bong Joon-ho has already mastered this subject, but Director Quan has now taken it to a higher level. I am making a movie to kill the murderer. It’s been filmed, why are you comparing it to me!

Depressed Cat: I hope the police can reveal more details and let Bangzi learn a little bit. Maybe they will have a chance to find the murderer.

Lao Wai 123: No wonder Director Quan didn’t need any publicity funds for this movie. How much money do we need when it’s so popular? Media all over the country are reporting overwhelmingly. I haven’t been to the cinema this year, but this movie is a must-see for me. !

Lucifer's Heart: The latest news is that the murderer's neighborhood is only a few hundred meters away from the cinema where Director Quan is filming. Damn it, Director Quan is so good at choosing places! If I were the murderer, I would definitely be curious about the story of shooting him right in front of the murderer's eyes.

Miff: Upstairs, I suspect you are carrying a murder case, which is consistent with criminal psychology. Please come with me.

E Go Forward 0: I feel numb. The murderous maniac seems to be from our community. The police came to arrest him a few days ago. We were curious about what the other party had committed. Now that I think about it, it must be that thing. There were several cars of police with guns, and the formation was particularly large.

dinvineret: Damn it, bro, tell me in detail!

There is no airtight wall on the Internet, and soon some news about Gao Chengyong’s family began to spread online.

For example, the couple has two high-achieving sons. They opened a canteen in the Industrial College. They are from Lanzhou and moved here a few years ago so that their children can go to school. They live in the same community where a murder occurred.

However, when the cautious media found the Gao family, they had already left the community, and the mother and son had already gone to Chengdu to join their eldest son.

When the last hope that the husband and father were innocent was shattered, they no longer had any attachment to the city and only waited to come back to collect his body.

Before reporters arrived, the victim's family had actually come in a group. Lao Yiyi tried to persuade him again and again, but failed to stop him. Fortunately, the murderer's family had already left, and no bloodshed was actually caused.

Beijing.

Zhang Songwen became famous for starring in "Who Is He?" and received many scripts in just a few days.

In the past, he had no choice when accepting scripts. Some would be good to shoot.

But now he wants to manage his reputation well. It doesn't mean that he must play the leading role, but the play must be good.

While patiently selecting scripts, he occasionally discussed with Wang Yanhui and other senior brothers in their special group: Was there really a murderer among the extras when filming?

~

"Of course not, he is not in the extras," Wang Quan said to Ni Ni, "but we did capture him on the set."

Ni Ni returned to the capital after playing around to prepare for the promotion of "City in Love". Although Wang Quan's work was very tiring, he would occasionally come to her to relax.

When Nazha was not in the capital, she was her number one lover.

Speaking of the upcoming Chinese Valentine's Day, there are many strong players, including "My Girlhood" invested by Lin Chiling, which was a hit at the box office.

There is also "City in Love" by Power Generation, which brings together many outstanding new directors and big-name stars, including Ni Ni, Jiang Shuying, Zhang Zilin, etc.

There is also "Bride Wars" adapted from the Hollywood movie by Yang Ying and Bai Baihe, and the leading actors are Chen Xiao and Zhu Yawen, who are highly favored by the royal family.

Let's not talk about Chen Xiao. The youth film "Little Prince" in the past two years and the two recent fantasy blockbusters have made his popularity almost as high as that of the Big Four.

After Zhu Yawen joins Hesong Media, he will also play the male lead in "Saving Mr. Me" and "Operation Mekong".

Ni Ni sighed and rejoiced: "It seems that "Monster Hunt" can't surpass "Leng Feng". It was quite popular a few days ago, but now it's not good anymore. When new movies are released, no one will watch them."

She didn't know that the movie she starred in was almost completely ruined, she just thought "Leng Feng" was good at number one.

Wang Quan didn't tell her that. As long as he was here, even if Monster Hunting was gone, she would still be able to perform.

Moreover, she will be almost 30 years old in two years. If she is not so competitive, it would be good to retreat behind the scenes and enjoy life.

Wang Quan will transfer part of his shares in Hesong to Ni Ni.

Domestic news about "Who Is He" and the Silver Case were so intense that even the Venice Film Festival knew about it. The chairman of the film festival personally called Wang Quan to inquire about the authenticity of the matter.

King Quan acknowledged the incident and once again assured that post-production could be completed during the festival.

"The opening ceremony video..."

"I'm afraid this won't work. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it on the day of the opening ceremony." It might be possible if we work overtime, but it's not necessary. The main reason is that subtitles and translation take time.

"Oh no, Wang, can you still attend the opening ceremony red carpet?"

Wang Quan: "I will arrive on time for the opening ceremony, but the film will be a few days late."

"Okay then~" There is no way, this time the opening ceremony film can only be changed to a film with less gimmicks.

Later, in order to thank Wang Quan for coming to Venice to support Water City, the film festival gave the qualification of the closing ceremony to a Chinese film "Old Paoer".

~

When Wang Quan had almost recovered from Ni Ni and returned home, Liu Yifei also asked herself whether the film could participate in the Wisney Film Festival.

After hearing Wang Quan's affirmative reply, she said: "I understand, then I'll turn it down."

Yang Mi: "What are you pushing away?"

Liu Yifei: “The Venice Film Festival recently contacted me and invited me to serve as a judge for the main competition unit.”

Yang Mi looked at Liu Yifei, who was as young as an eighteen-year-old girl, "Judge of the main competition unit, you, you are so virtuous and capable!"

Wang Quan and Liu Yifei both smelled the sour smell. Wang Quan smiled and said: "Sissi is the Queen of Venice, so it is natural to be invited to be a judge."

Then he looked at Liu Yifei: "Are you avoiding suspicion because of me?"

"Yes, if I go to judge awards, I will definitely help you win the Golden Lion Award. Maybe I will even fight with the chairman."

Wang Quan smiled: "Probably not. The chairman of the jury seems to be Alfonso Cuaron."

Liu Yifei/Yang Mi: “Damn!”

Wang Quan is also helpless, why are the judges of the international film festival all his acquaintances.

Later, when I thought about it, it might be because I have too many acquaintances. As a generation of film tycoons, he has helped too many filmmakers. His old disciples are all over the global film industry, so it is difficult to avoid them.

All three Mexican heroes have collaborated with Long Toutou, but Wang Quan has the best relationship with Alfonso Cuaron. Alfonso Cuaron once said that without King David there would be no "Gravity" .

Although Liu Yifei ultimately rejected the invitation from the judges of the main competition unit, she also wanted to witness Wang Quan's works shine in the city, and she also wanted to be among the first audiences in the world.

So she asked to be demoted to serve as a judge in the Horizon section, which is a secondary section in Venice, equivalent to a focus section in Cannes and the Panorama section in Berlin.

Later, Wisney agreed to her request and made her the chairman of the jury for the Horizon section, which made Liu Yifei very nervous.

It was her first time to be a judge and she was asked to be the boss. She was a little worried about her artistic attainments and her ability to express herself in language.

Later, Wang Quan asked her what works were in the Horizon section. She wanted to know about these directors and works in advance and do some homework.

As a result, Wang Quan told her, "The Horizon section is full of great directors this year, including art film masters such as Martin Scorsese and Tsai Ming-liang, as well as Tom McCarthy."

Liu Yifei: "Who is Tom McCarthy?"

Wang Quan: "He is the screenwriter of your favorite cartoon "Up"."

"ah!"

Wang Quan: "And I am very optimistic about his film "Spotlight" this year. I regard this film as my biggest competitor for the Oscar next year."

Liu Yifei's head was numb, and she was busy watching movies for the next few days, trying to improvise to improve her artistic attainments.

Even when Wang Quan and Mimi were having sex, she was still watching a movie. Yang Mi, who had exclusive access to Wang Quan, was very happy.

At this time, the domestic box office of "Lucy" also exceeded the 1 billion mark. Yang Mi was immediately unhappy, feeling that her "Tumor King" might not be able to reach such heights.

However, the leaders of the film bureau are very happy. It is only August, but the target of ten billion films for the whole year has been achieved ahead of schedule!

Next there are "Who is He" by Wang Quan, "Hong Kong" by Xu Zheng, and "The Country of Mysteries" by Wu Ershan. Except for "Who is He", I am not sure, and the other two films are basically nothing if they exceed one billion. question.

By this time, Xiao Yu'er had gone back to school in the United States, and Chinese Valentine's Day had arrived. While Liu Yifei was watching art movies at home, Wang Quan accompanied Mimi to watch two movies, "My Girlhood" and "City in Love."

And these two movies also happen to be the top two in the Chinese Valentine's Day festival.

On the contrary, "Bride Wars", which had high hopes before, did not do well at the box office.

This made director Li Weiran, who was writing the script for "Legend of the Sun", suddenly realize that Chen Xiao's popularity was too frivolous, as if he couldn't bear the box office of "Monster Hunt".

Originally, Li Weiran planned to let Chen Xiao take the leading role in this film, but now he has to modify the script and add a box office star like Miley Long from "The Legend of the Shark Pearl" to dominate the scene.

He first identified the actors and then wrote the characters based on the actors.

After contacting me around, I found that none of the four junior and senior students were very available, or felt it was inappropriate.

Later, Wang Quan chatted with him. He originally thought about Shen Tong. In terms of box office appeal, no one can compare with Shen Tong who only starred in two movies. He even shouldered the super bad movie "Omen 2". Entered the 1 billion mark.

However, it is a pity that Shen Tong has two starring roles in the next film, and she will get married next year.

Shen Tong is now red and hot. If he doesn't get married, his girlfriend will really feel completely insecure.

So the timing is probably not coordinated.

Wang Quan was very curious about what these two new films were. It seemed that they were not invested by film owners in Xihong City, otherwise Yan Fei and Peng Damo would have informed him.

Shen Tong told him that one was Mahua's own project called "The Shameful Iron Fist", in which he didn't have much of a role, and the other was Ning Hao's new film, with the male lead.

Wang Quan asked: "Science fiction movie?"

"No, it's a police comedy. The script hasn't been given to me yet, but I think a director like Ning Hao doesn't need to read the script, just like you, Director Quan."

Shen Tong's voice was mean, clearly implying, "Director Quan, when will you cooperate with me?"

The main thing is that Wang Quan may no longer make pure comedies. If Shen Tong wants to join his own crew, he may still need to prove himself with his acting skills.

Then the two settled on Huang Bo. This time Wang Quan also came forward, and Huang Bo immediately agreed.

Then Li Weiran wrote the role of Kuafu for Huang Bo, who was only eight years old and tens of meters tall. Although his role was not as good as that of Chen Xiao, he was as important to this movie as Cheng Long.

Although Chen Xiao has no objection, he also realizes that his popularity is frivolous. The root cause may be that he has no TV series that he can produce, and his mass base is too weak.

So he took over the male lead role in the TV series "Zhu Xian" co-created by Mi Shi and Bing Cheng.

After the Chinese Valentine's Day, "Bride Wars" has not yet exceeded 100 million. "My Girlhood", a Taiwanese novel from Taiwan, has become the biggest winner. It has gained both word-of-mouth and box office, and sister Zhiling has made a lot of money.

After Taiwanese investors saw that Tianting Banquet was not popular, they turned to Wang Dalu, the leading actor of "Girls' Generation".

It's just that the heroine Song Yunhua can no longer receive such good resources as the heroine Shen Tong.

It was a coincidence that after Chinese Valentine's Day, Wang Quan went to Zhang Zilin's house to play house and learned from her that Shen Tong and Ning Hao wanted her to play the heroine in their new film.

Since being sent to a company by Wang Quan, Zhang Zilin has actually not acted much, mostly making guest appearances.

No matter this, her Miss World style can still be maintained, her popularity will not decrease, and her endorsements and magazine covers will still be top-notch.

This time she wanted to discuss with Wang Quan whether to accept it.

"Not only does it not have a script, it doesn't even have a title. How can I analyze it?" Wang Quan said helplessly, holding his senior sister's waist.

"The script is still being revised. Director Ning said that he bought it from a venture capital association and needs to change it to the style he is used to."

"Then wait until Ning Hao sends you the script, and then I will help you with your advice," Wang Quan said, "If it is a script of the level of "Beautiful Heart", I can still accept it. Yuan Quan was so well photographed by him. "

Wang Quan always thought that Ning Hao would make that sci-fi monkey movie, but he didn't expect that he would start a new project in the meantime, and it didn't exist in the film and television library.

This made him very curious, and he hoped that the butterfly effect he brought would start to work well.

Ning Hao did have a science fiction story in his hand, which he bought from science fiction writer Liu Cixin.

Ning Hao was quite lucky. He heard from Da Liu that the copyrights of several of his heavyweight works had been bought by Wang Dao. Not to mention the high price, there were also some dividend rights, which made him very flattered.

Ning Hao understood, so he had to raise the price, so the film revision fee for a short story "Country Teacher" cost him one million.

Ning Hao doesn't blame Da Liu, he can only blame Wang Dao for driving up prices and not respecting martial ethics.

However, after receiving the novel, Ning Hao was a little unsure about how to film it. He followed the original work strictly. Can anyone read it? If he wanted to adapt it, from what angle.

Just when he was thinking hard about the idea of ​​adaptation, Ning Hao participated in a script venture capital meeting and fell in love with a script project jointly developed by China and South Korea. The Korean version had already been won by the famous NEW company, so Ning Hao took over the project. version, and directly selected Shen Tong as the male lead.

Now Ning Hao plans to film this comedy first so that his company's bad monkeys can have something to eat.

Then he heard shocking news.

"What, Teacher Liu won the Hugo Award, the Hugo Award for Best Novel!"

Although Ning Hao is not a die-hard science fiction fan, he also knows the status of the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award in the science fiction world.

The reason why he wanted to buy the rights to adapt Liu Cixin's novel was because Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem" was shortlisted for the Nebula Award last year.

Just being shortlisted, even if he didn't win, was enough to make Liu Cixin and his "The Three-Body Problem" famous in China, and it also made Ning Hao willing to spend one million to buy a short story.

Unexpectedly, he actually won the Hugo Award this time. Ning Hao didn't know much about the Hugo Award, so he asked a more familiar young director Guo Fan, who is still in power. He is a die-hard science fiction fan.

Guo Fan was even more excited than Ning Hao because he also had an adaptation project of Liu Cixin's short story "The Wandering Earth", which was a reward he received after making two movies in Wangdao.

"Director Ning, let's just say this. After I got the news, I said shit three times. When Director Quan decided to hand over "The Wandering Earth" to me, I just said shit. It's so awesome! "

Then Guo Fan told Ning Hao: "The Novel Award is the first prize of the Hugo Award. This is the first time for Chinese science fiction novels. It can be said that Teacher Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem" directly brought Chinese science fiction novels to the world level!"

In order to express his love for "Three-Body Problem", Guo Fan added: "In fact, "Three-Body Problem" should have won the award long ago. None of the Hugo Awards in the past ten years has been able to achieve the grand imagination of "Three-Body Problem". And I am optimistic that "The Three-Body Problem" will continue to win awards next year and "The Three-Body Problem" the year after that!"

"Who is more powerful, the Hugo Award or the Nebula Award?" Ning Hao asked.

Guo Fan explained: "The Hugo Award is selected by the World Science Fiction Association and voted by members, and the members are basically science fiction enthusiasts around the world, so the Hugo Award can be regarded as a reader award, while the Nebula Award is an expert award. It was judged by people from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.”

"A Chinese novel can win the Reader's Award. It seems that "The Three-Body Problem" is very influential abroad!" Ning Hao sighed.

Guo Fan further explained: "The winner is the English version of the first part of "The Three-Body Problem". Since most members of the World Science Fiction Convention speak English, only English works can win the prize. Teacher Liu Cixin's writing style is average. Teacher Liu Yukun’s excellent English translation is also very important for the spread of "Three-Body" overseas. "

Ning Hao nodded and asked, "Are there any novels that have won both the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award?"

"Yes, the famous "Dune" won the double award, and "Ender's Game" whose movie adaptation was a hit a few years ago."

Guo Fan kept talking, and he had all the international science fiction novels at his fingertips, but Ning Hao basically didn't know about them.

This made Guo Fan a little worried. Ning Hao was going to adapt "Country Teacher", wouldn't it be a mess?

~

Wang Quan glanced at the book sections of Taobao and JD.com. Good guy, not only the "Three-Body" trilogy, but also all Liu Cixin's novels have become hits, directly entering the top ten on the sales list.

Liu has won the domestic Galaxy Award for several years, and has long been the well-deserved number one domestic science fiction writer, but his results are far behind those of the Hugo Award.

At this time, the moonlight from abroad is still more fragrant.

However, Liu Cixin did not go to Washington to receive the Hugo Award trophy. Liu Yukun received it on his behalf.

First, I happily went to the Nebula Award last year. Before I went, I said that I was very popular, but I didn’t get it. I feel that the Hugo Award is about the same.

There is also the chaos surrounding this year's Hugo Awards. Due to the "Puppygate" vote rigging and manipulation of Hugo Award nominations, many influential novels withdrew from the selection.

This made Liu Cixin feel that the gold content of this year was greatly reduced, but he didn't expect that he really missed it.

After receiving the Hugo Award, Liu Cixin felt like she was about to become a golden figure, and the leaders of her unit were smiling at her.

There are many film companies who are willing to pay exorbitant prices to buy their own version of "The Three-Body Problem", but then they are sadly told that "The Three-Body Problem" has fallen into Wang Dao's hands.

Even the relatively well-known "The Wandering Earth", "Country Teacher", "Bring Her Eyes" and "Full Band Jamming" have all been bought, and the only ones I want to buy are those unknown second- and third-tier short stories~

(Watching "The Three-Body Problem", I highly recommend the commentary by Xiaoqiang, a writer from Station B. It is better than any version of film and television dramas)

…
