You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 594 ① Five out of ten ② The number one player ③ Hundreds of movies have exceeded 100 million ④ Movie queen Yifei!

Although Deng Chao officially entered the film industry with "Assembly Number" and he was also Hua Yi's second brother, in fact, Deng Chao and Feng Xiaogang did not have a harmonious relationship.

Because Deng Chao was filming "Sweet Honey" and was dating Sun Li at the same time. The filming of the TV series had not yet been completed. Hua Yi arranged for him to play the second male lead in "Assembly Number". Sometimes it was difficult to coordinate the time. This angered the great director Feng Xiaogang.

Unless there are particularly talented people, such as Wang Quan, Wang Shuo, Wang Qiankun, Wang Zhongjun, and Wang Jianlin, Feng Xiaogang will generally not give face to others.

Moreover, during the promotion of the movie, Hua Yi arranged for him the drama "Human Love". Due to filming, Deng Chao was absent from some promotional activities.

This made Feng Xiaogang's anger about to explode.

So at the MTV Festival at the end of 2007, when the entire cast was promoting "Assembly", when a reporter asked Deng about his relationship with Sun Li, and then pointed the microphone at Feng Xiaogang, he turned black and said, "Since No one is interested in the movie, so let’s not waste our time.”

Deng Chao was so frightened that he quickly asked reporters to ask more questions about "Assembly Number".

However, before Deng Chao finished speaking, Feng Xiaogang turned around and left with Zhang Hanyu and others, leaving only Deng Chao standing there awkwardly.

From then on, the rumors that Feng Xiaogang and Hua Yi's second brother Deng Chao were not on good terms were confirmed.

It was also after this that Deng Chao had various difficulties in Huayi and could hardly get any decent movie roles within the company. In those years, he was so frustrated that he tried to apologize to Feng Xiaogang several times but was rejected. Fortunately, he had Sun Li accompanies her to tide over the difficulties.

It wasn't until 2012 that he starred in "The Rich Second Generation", which allowed him to overtake him in a corner, and he won the Berlin Best Actor in "Heart of the Sun", establishing his status as one of the four major actors.

In terms of diligence, Deng Chao is considered the first among the four major students. He is involved in all TV series, movies, and plays. He is also trying various careers as an actor, screenwriter, and director.

Now, his second comedy film "Villain Angel" co-directed by him and Yu Baimei is about to land on the big screen.

What excites him is that "Old Paoer" starring Feng Xiaogang will be released on the same day!

Although Feng was not the director, but just the leading actor, Deng Chao finally had the opportunity to defeat him head-on, and also the opportunity to defeat Hua Yi, so that he could express his depression in those years.

On December 24, Christmas Eve, after "The Lost Kingdom" and "Star Wars Story", "Bad Angel" and "Old Man" once again fought against each other and landed in the mainland film market.

The box office gap shown is also very obvious.

"Bad Angel" easily topped the list with 162 million on its first day, and "Old Man" ranked third with 52 million, which was not as good as the old film "The Lost Kingdom."

After seeing these data, Deng Chao drank a large glass of whiskey by himself at home, "So happy!"

Lao Wang also felt happy that this was the second collaboration between Qiankun and Dengchao. Although his son didn't like this kind of crazy comedy, he thought it was okay, as long as the audience liked it.

This first-day box office will almost recover the cost. As long as the reputation is stable, it will not be a problem to exceed one billion.

He checked Weibo and found that "Bad Angel" had both positive and negative reviews, but overall it had mostly positive reviews. After all, it had been screened and edited many times, so it wasn't completely bad, at least it was passable.

It's just that the reputation of "Old Paoer" is obviously better, and some people say that Feng Xiaogang is the golden horse actor's legacy.

Moreover, there are marketing methods such as Sister Xu Qing sacrificing her appearance and showing her buttocks, Huayi is not to be outdone.

Damn, is such an ugly old man worth bragging about showing his butt? When "Parasite" is released, are you going to brag about Li Ming and expose his butt? That's no more worth watching than a cannon!

Li Ming: I said that butt is not mine!

Lao Wang also saw the news on Weibo that "Parasite" won an award in the United States, but it is not surprising that his son wants to use a Chinese-language film to compete for the highest honor of the Oscar this time. If a National Board of Review Award for Best Foreign Language Film is... It's still a joke.

What really shows the level is the following big prizes.

In the United States, after receiving the award, Wang Quan spent Christmas with Little K and her mother, Theron, at Theron's house.

Theron prepared a Santa Claus costume for King Power, while she and Little K played the role of little elk together.

Then Wang Quan and Little K returned to Dorothy's house with a guilty conscience and spent the 2015 Christmas with his wife and children.

Domestically, "Bad Angel" is gaining momentum. Leveraging on the Chinese people's pursuit of Christmas and the one-stop demand of young couples for "eating, watching movies, renting a house, and having an abortion" during the holiday, it earned 530 million in the first four days of the weekend.

And "Lao Pao Er" relies on its reputation advantage and has good stamina. It sold 230 million in its first weekend and has already made a profit.

However, Feng Xiaogang is obviously not satisfied with this box office result. The key point is that there is a huge gap between him and "Bad Angel". He doesn't even have a movie that has exceeded one billion, so how could he copy it?

Fortunately, the reputation of "Bad Angel" can no longer be maintained. Although objectively speaking, it is at a passing level, Deng Chao's crazy and over-the-top comedy style is not well received by mainland audiences. Even if he laughed while watching it, when it comes to I had to spit when I put on my pants: What the hell.

So after the holiday, and the negative reviews of "Bad Angel" began to ferment on the Internet, whether it was Douban, Maoyan, or Taopiaopiao, they all lagged behind others.

Therefore, "Old Paoer" made a late move and actually suppressed "Bad Angel" at the box office in a single day, ushering in the dawn of overtaking!

Feng Xiaogang was so happy that he directly liked the film critic Weibo who criticized "Bad Angel" as a bad movie. Although he canceled it because he was afraid of Lao Wang and lied about slippery hands, it still became a hot search topic. .

Therefore, the reputation of "Villain" was overwhelming, which made Deng very anxious. The single-day box office of "Villain Angel" continued to decline, and there was no hope of reaching 1 billion.

By the time of the New Year's Eve on the 31st, several new films have been released, taking up a lot of the film lineup. The hope of "Bad Angel" to make a success on the New Year's Eve is gone.

Among the new films, there are two animated films that are more eye-catching, namely the theatrical version of "Quiba" launched by Inception Animation \u0026 Youth Tree, "Quiba: Set Sail".

As well as the myth-themed animation "Little Door God" carefully created by Chasing Animation, the former boss of Tudou.com for the second time to start a business.

Wang Wei is very ambitious. This "Little Door God" was written and directed by him. The voice actors include Gao Xiaosong, Baike and Yi Xiaoxing.

He doesn't expect to exceed the 1 billion for "The Return of the Great Sage", but he should have 300 to 400 million, so he should make some money for himself. After all, the cost of his film is not low.

However, things went against expectations. On the first day, it received 28 million yuan due to the New Year's Eve. The subsequent box office continued to decline, and even over 100 million yuan became a problem.

But Wang Wei is not discouraged. The first part is just to train the team. He has made so much money from Tudou.com, so he can afford the compensation.

And "Quiba".

Wang Quan glanced at Maoyan and said, "31 million on the first day and 22 million on the next day."

This is much better than the original time and space.

As Wang Dao's last film in 2015, Wang Quan is still paying close attention to "Qui Ba".

Because it represents the possibility of theatrical versions of animated series from subsidiaries of Inception.

With years of operation as a TV version, "Kuiba" has already gained a certain degree of popularity, but its popularity and popularity are still worse than "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes", which became a hit on the Internet.

So even if the theatrical version has higher animation quality and better reputation, the box office performance is not as good as "Ten Cold", but it should not be a problem to break 100 million, and it can probably make back the money.

"Recovering the original is a victory." Wang Quan encouraged director Wang Chuan on the phone, and said that the second part can be prepared after "Quiba" in the third season. In the future, it will be about a theatrical version in two or three years.

With the successful experience of "Ten Cold" and "Qui Ba", follow-up "Brother Corpse", "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker", "The Bad Man Who Painted Jianghu", "Luo Xiaohei's War", "Zhenhun Street", Animations supported by Inception such as "The Master" and "That Rabbit That Year" can also be considered for theatrical versions.

However, the domestic animation market and atmosphere are incomparable with Neon. Neon’s annual box office rankings are almost all theatrical versions of various animations. They make huge profits every time, and even go abroad to Europe and the United States to make money.

But the market for domestic animation is limited and not as big as online writing. If you want to get A-Zhai out of the house, it will not be easy to make money from them. Let’s make sure not to lose money first.

Just entering 2016, Wen Yongshan temporarily returned to China due to work, and regretfully missed the New York Film Critics Association Award.

This award is also one of the four frontline Oscars. "Parasite" was nominated for three awards: Best Director, Best Art Direction and Best Foreign Language Film.

Wang Quan and Pang Bing rushed to New York with gunfire all the way, and finally won two awards for Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film.

By the way, the two appeared on a talk show called "The Fat Show" in New York to promote "Parasite" and hinted to Academy members across the country: Hey, man, put aside your language and national prejudices and give "Parasite" Voted.

Fan Bingbing knew about this show: "When "Transformers 4" was promoted, the heroine Nicola appeared on this show, and even invited a female costar from the movie to be a friendly guest. Li Bingbing was not invited. She It’s depressing, after all, this show has high ratings.”

Wang Quan nodded: "This time we will go together, we are both the main characters."

Fan Bingbing burst into laughter immediately. She had also entered Hollywood and played a small role briefly in "X-Men: Days of Future Past", but now she has returned as an actress in Chinese films.

Sure enough, no matter how hard you work with the right person, it is important.

Fat Lun is still the same Fat Lun, but he doesn't seem as happy as before. Is it because Nicole Kidman appeared on his show a while ago and revealed that she was interested in him, but he was obsessed with games at the time?

Wang Quan actually wanted to comfort him: In fact, Nicole Kidman is just that, adding Naomi Watts would be a surprise.

In order to thank Wang Quan for bringing him on the show, Fan Bingbing was very open to Wang Quan on the plane back to Los Angeles, and both Xiaotian and Xiao Guo saw it.

After returning to Los Angeles, I sent Fan Bingbing back to the hotel to rest. Wang Quan, who couldn't rest, went to Longtou again.

It's been a while since I've been here, and there's a new person at the front desk.

Wang Quan asked Xiaotian to take Guo Xuefu to apply for a work permit, and then he went to Dorothy's office.

Dorothy was wearing an office chair with glasses and looking at a familiar desk. Mr. Wang Quan was chatting like a teenager. As soon as his hand touched Dorothy's back, she said: "It's boring, I'm first again, one There is no one who can fight.”

"Is it the number one market share in North America?"

Dorothy gave up her seat to Wang Quan and sat on Wang Quan's lap: "Yes, North America has 2.61 billion, and the second place is only 1.8 billion."

Wang Quan was making small moves below, while Dorothy was above showing Wang Quan the North American market situation last year.

The lead of "Long Head Head" is very obvious, needless to say, but it seems that there is suspense in ranking first at the North American box office in 2015.

""Jurassic World" cost 652 million dollars. I'm afraid "Star Wars Story" is no match?"

"Star Wars Story" is still in theaters. Currently, it is close to 500 million US dollars in North America. 600 million is not a problem, but there is a high probability that it cannot surpass "Jurassic World". Universal has resurrected this IP, which also allows IP holders to Spielberg has made a fortune and will probably be in the top three on the Forbes celebrity list next year.

Dorothy was unconvinced and said: "Even if Universal takes first place this time, "Star Wars Story" will definitely be second, and we have a stable five in the top ten, accounting for half of the country. Which one is this?" It’s incomparable.”

Ten of them occupy the top five, which is a rare achievement for this pair of dragons.

In addition to "Star Wars Story" which ranked second, there are also "The Hunger Games: The Endgame" ranked fourth, "Minions with Big Eyes" ranked sixth, "The Martian" ranked eighth, and ninth Named "Lucy the Witch".

As for the other five, they were divided between Universal and Disney.

The first-place "Jurassic Park" and the seventh-place "Fast and Furious 7" are both Universal.

The remaining third place "Avengers 2" is from Disney Marvel, the fifth place "Inside Out" is from Disney Pixar, and the tenth place "Cinderella" is from Disney itself.

Therefore, the top three in North American market share are Dragon Head, Disney and Universal.

Among them, "Jurassic World" not only has a high probability of ranking first in North America, but also has a global box office of 1.6 billion U.S. dollars. It is also a sure shot to be No. 1 in the world.

This kind of long-lasting big IP cannot be envied. As a new company, Longtou, in addition to acquiring old IPs such as Star Wars, must also continue to create new IPs to save historical assets for the future of Longtou.

So Wang Quan found a script called "Ready Player One" from Dorothy's computer, "What do you think about hiring Lao Si to film this script?"

"Ready Player One" is the novel "Ready Player One" written by Ernst Klein. Long Toutou bought the rights and adapted it into a script. The director has not yet been determined.

"Old Si, can he?"

Since selling DreamWorks, Spielberg is now relatively free, just like Zhang Yimou after breaking up with Zhang Wei.

"The Adventures of Tintin" was produced by Paramount, "Lincoln" was produced by 20th Century Fox, and "Bridge of Spies" was produced by Disney.

As long as he has money and enough creative freedom, he can cooperate with anyone.

However, Dorothy still has another concern, that is, "He is a bit expensive. Although the box office cannot even beat your Chinese films, after all, the veteran director Yi Ge's face is here."

Wang Quan smiled: "We cooperated with him because he has face."

"Ready Player One" is also known as "IP Player". Finding elements of various classic movies in it is also the most important viewing pleasure of this movie.

Although the script has tried its best to use the IP held by Long Zuotou, such as "Twilight", "The Hunger Games", "Pacific Rim", "District 9", "Star Wars", "Frozen", "Despicable Me and Xiao Huang" "Man", "Ghost Chronicles", "King of Power", "The Purge", "World War Z", "Teddy Bear", "John Wick", as well as Wang Dao's "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, etc.

But this is still far from enough. To get this movie project off the ground beautifully, we need to get at least the licenses for a dozen games, a dozen anime, and dozens of movies.

Including the famous "Jurassic Park", "Godzilla", "Lord of the Rings", "Batman", "Superman", "Terminator" and so on.

These movies belong to different companies, including Warner, Universal, and Legendary. It is too difficult to integrate them into one movie.

In Hollywood, apart from Wang Quan, I am afraid that only Spielberg and Cameron have this kind of reputation. Even Wang Quan's reputation is not as big as these two. He is an outsider after all.

Although Cameron has repeatedly skipped filming, he is really filming "Avatar 2". Unless he waits three or four years for King Power to finish filming the "Escape" series, Spielberg is now the best choice.

Dorothy burst into tears after hearing this, "Please be gentle~"

Finally, she said, "Let him do it. After all, I have worked with him before. Let me talk to him. He must also hope to overtake you and regain the title of first person in film history."

Wang Quan smiled softly: "He does still have hope before "Happy Journey" is released."

In addition, King Quan also has a requirement that there must be a Chinese actor within the third episode of "Ready Player One".

As Asians become more and more powerful in Hollywood, and as the spring breeze of political correctness begins to blow in the United States, the demand for royal power no longer seems so out of the ordinary.

When the two returned home, Wang Quan called Chen Chuling again. It was already January 5th, and some data about the mainland film market in 2015 should have been released.

"Well, it just came out. Maoyan is waiting for the data of "The Kingdom of Mysteries" and "Quiba"."

""The Kingdom of Mysteries" has exceeded 1 billion?" Wang Quan guessed.

Chen Chuling: "Yes, last year's 14th one-billion-grossing film should also be the last one. "Bad Angel" lacked stamina, while "Old Paoer" has great stamina, but the subject matter is limited. The box office was too low at the beginning, and it was estimated that it was only eight The level of 900 million.”

There are 14 films worth 1 billion, including two films worth 2 billion, which has greatly exceeded the target set by the Film Bureau at the beginning of the year.

However, we must also thank Maoyan and Taopiaopiao for their ticket replenishment battle. Without ticket replenishment, "The Hobbit 3" and "Omen Storm 2", which have exceeded 1 billion at this time, will not reach 1 billion, or even exceed 11 Yi's "Lucy" is also terrible.

Wang Quan asked again: "Does "Quiba" have any special significance?"

"Yes!" Chu Ling replied: "Although this movie is only over 100 million, it is the 100th mainland movie to exceed 100 million in 2015!"

Hearing this, Wang Quan was slightly shocked, "There were 100 movies that exceeded 100 million yuan last year!"

"Yes, it is!"

"It seems that the audience in our country still has a huge demand for cultural products. 100 million is equivalent to 16 million U.S. dollars. There are only 120 movies in North America that have exceeded 16 million U.S. dollars. What about the total annual box office?" Wang Quan asked again.

"50.1 billion!"

The total box office in 2014 was 36.6 billion, and in 2015 it jumped directly to the 50 billion level, an increase of 36.8%!

Oh, at this rate, it will break through 10 billion US dollars in two years, and it will catch up with the North American market share in three years.

It is a pity that in three years there will be global turmoil. By then, national consumption will be downgraded, and the film market will also turn from prosperity to decline. The mainland still has a difficult way to go before it wants to become the world's largest market.

Finally, Chen Chuling sighed: "It's a pity that this year's crown is not our best."

This is the same as Long Toutou, which did not win the annual crown, but still dominated the box office list strongly.

In the top ten of the year, Wangdao occupied four seats.

Among them, King Quan's "Who Is He" ranked ninth in the year with a score of 1.266 billion. It was also King Quan's worst performance in the mainland since "Twilight" in 2007.

But no one dares to underestimate this achievement. After all, the cost of "Who Is He" is only 10 million, and there is no publicity fee.

The input-output ratio is as high as 120 times, which can be recorded in the history of movies.

The only ones higher than this are tiny-budget horror films such as "The Blair Witch Project" and "The Haunting of Hell" from the United States.

However, as the producer of the "Ghost Chronicles" series, Wang Quan is very aware of how expensive the promotion and distribution costs of this series are, so compared to the real deal, it is 120 times more rare than "Who Is He".

Moreover, after the release of "Who is He", the Y-STR chromosome technology used to target Gao Chengyong began to be popularized across the country.

In the future, if there are criminal suspects found through this technology, simple netizens will blame "Who is he?", and maybe even create "Who is he?" After "Who is he?", the country sees the value of this technology. This is the rumor that will be promoted nationwide.”

In fact, when King Power was filming, the country had already planned to promote it. With or without this movie, it would have been promoted and the real culprit would be caught in 2016.

"Oh, by the way, the shortlist for the Directors' Association Award is out. I'll send it to you later. "Who Is He" has been shortlisted for many awards. There should be hope of winning this time." Chen Chuling added.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Quan received the shortlist for the Directors Association Award. It was said to be the Directors Association Award. In fact, both the Screenwriters Guild and the Performing Arts Society participated this year, so there were many more awards this year.

The media's attention and pursuit of the Directors' Association Award made those involved in the Golden Rooster Award very unhappy, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Wang Quan took a look. The nominations related to "Who is He" include Best Director, Best Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor (Zhang Songwen), Best Supporting Actor (Ning Li), and Best Newcomer. Actor Jiang Peiyao.

Teacher Ning Li didn't miss anything, and he was even shortlisted. This is a good story in the film industry.

It is a pity that there are no well-established organizations such as the Cinematography Association and the Film Art Association in China, otherwise it would be a prototype similar to the Oscar model.

However, the Lifetime Achievement Award was added this year, but because it is led by the Directors Association, only directors are currently receiving awards.

There are no shortlisted candidates for this award, it is all determined by the leadership team of the Directors Association, including Wang Quan.

We originally discussed awarding the award to director Xie Tieli at the beginning of the year, but he left last year, which is really a pity.

While Wang Quan was looking at the shortlist, Chen Chuling sent another message: "Aren't you going to publish a top ten list this year? Weibo netizens are urging you."

Wang Quan thought about the movies of the past year in his mind and hesitated a little, fearing that he might offend people again and hurt some directors of his own company.

"Forget it, I won't post on Weibo this time," Wang Quan changed the topic, "I will post on Moments."

Although posting on Moments will result in screenshots being posted on Weibo and headlines, it is still considered indirect harm.

So Wang Quan first put the ones he particularly liked, and found that there were no Chinese-language films last year that were so special that amazed him.

Then I picked out some that weren’t that great but were more in line with my personal taste.

After much hesitation in the end, I finally collected 10 of them. As per the old rule, my own is not counted.

After confirming, Wang Quan posted on WeChat Moments.

"Share my top ten of 2015. It's purely personal taste. If you don't agree, you are right. They are ranked in no particular order, according to the release date.

"The Intruder"

"Don't Tell Her"

"I am not Pan Jinlian"

"Spring"

"Pancake Man"

"Old Friends from Mountains and Rivers"

"Get out of here!" Cancer King》

"My Girlhood"

"Home is in a place with abundant water and grass"

"Walking in the Snow in Search of Plum Blossoms". "

Among these ten movies, only "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" and "Over the Spring" are kingly. Half of "Don't Tell Her" and "Tumor" are kingly. The others have nothing to do with kingly.

There are also some good movies produced by Wang Dao, but Wang Quan is not included in them. He still has stricter requirements for his company's works.

After it was distributed, Wang Quan ignored it for the time being, and went to attend the National Society of Film Critics Awards with Pang Bing. Although it was one word different from the National Society of Film Critics Awards, it was not the same award, but also one of the four major Outpost Awards.

This time it still won the Best Foreign Language Film Award, and "Farewell" won the top ten of the year. Wang Quan met the director Wang Ziyi and had a chat.

Wang Quan told her that Liu Yifei would be present at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in a while.

At the same time, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, who were filming in Northeast China, saw Wang Quan’s WeChat Moments. Although it had only been posted for a few minutes, it already had more than a hundred likes and dozens of comments.

Wang Quan does have a lot of WeChat friends. Every time the actors and behind-the-scenes staff who work with him want to be added, he will never refuse.

Although Wang Quan has basically blocked their circle of friends, they are reluctant to block Wang Quan's circle of friends.

The final box office of "Tumor King" was fixed at 888 million. Although it was very auspicious, Yang Mi was not happy. Although it exceeded "The Farewell", it was lower than "Lucy", and it did not exceed one billion, so it did not enter the annual box office. In the top ten, it seems that I, the box office queen, am weak, and I feel like my bald head has been shaved off in vain.

However, seeing her husband add her movie to his top ten of the year, Yang Mi felt very smooth. She immediately liked it and replied, "Husband, okay?"

Liu Yifei imitates "Mimi, what's her husband like~"

Yang Mi glared at Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei smiled and kissed her on the mouth. Yang Mi immediately stopped being angry.

Then she said: "I haven't watched "Walking in the Snow in Search of Plum Blossoms" yet, how about we watch it?"

Liu Yifei nodded: "Okay."

After they finished watching it, the two of them wanted to puke in the toilet. It was too spicy.

The film Wang Quan selected this time is more niche, so after it was screenshotted and posted on Weibo, it also triggered some discussions.

Monkey Flying: "Walking in the Snow in Search of Plum Blossoms" has not been introduced to the Mainland, and "Home is Where the Water and Grass Are Rich" has never been heard of. I checked and found that the box office was only 820,000. It feels like Director Quan is deliberately showing off his unique taste.

Tian Mo Bu Chu Xiang Hua Ying Luo Tu Shen Jie: Why do you talk so much? People have already said that you are one of the top ten. If you are not convinced, you should also rank one of the top ten.

That nook in the corner: Although "Home is Where the Water and Grass Are Rich" is a niche film, it was shot really well. Director Li Ruijun has a promising future.

Sanqiuzi: Mainland movies, Bay Area movies, Hong Kong movies, and co-productions. Director Quan has been exposed to all of them this time.

Depressed Cat: The Wanwan Film representative "My Girlhood" was a bit beyond my expectation. Director Quan, are you so girlish? I thought I would choose "The Assassin Nie Yinniang".

Chu Yuhanxing: "Nie Yinniang" was so miserable. It failed at Cannes and the Golden Horse. Director Quan, you would rather choose a rural film with a box office of 820,000 than "Nie Yinniang". Do you think so little of director Hou Hsiao-hsien? He is your senior after all!

The last account was stolen: Those who spoke for "Nie Yinniang", I wish you will see movies like this in the future. Damn it, I finally went to watch a movie with my girlfriend, but ended up falling asleep directly in the cinema. No reason to sleep in a hotel!

Haofang79: To be honest, I haven’t seen half of the movies in this list. They are really niche. But I have something to do next and I plan to make up for those few movies.

Pangpang @Jia Zhangke @Wang Xiaoshuai @Li Ruijun: Directors, come and see, you are on the list!

The Violent King @Guan Fuff: Come and see, you are not on the list, but I like "Old Paoer", and I will kill "Villain Angel"!

At this time, "Lao Pao Er" has already surpassed "Villain" in the single-day box office, but "Villain" has too strong a first-mover advantage, so it has not overtaken it yet, and there is still suspense.

Because "Kung Fu Panda 3", a co-production between China and the United States, is about to be released next, this much-anticipated animated blockbuster may destroy the single-day box office of the two old films.

However, as a director with a background in literary films, Guan Rui's work has already earned over 600 million in box office, which is a huge profit.

His abilities and talents have once again been recognized by the industry. "Old Paoer" not only received multiple nominations at the Directors Association Awards, but also film companies approached him.

Although not kingly, Wanda is also very powerful, and Ye Ning, the boss of Wanda Film and Television, personally invited him to dinner.

During the dinner, Ye Ning revealed that she hopes to invite Guan Yu to direct the sequel to "The Kingdom of Mysteries".

The lady next to Guan Hui, Liang Jing, was stunned and asked, "Isn't that a work directed by Wu Ershan? Isn't he going to stop filming?"

No matter what, it's strange. In terms of box office, "Mysterious Country" is much higher than "Old Paoer". It should be worth 1.3 billion in the end. Although the cost is also high, it still makes a lot of money.

And the reputation is also good. If we continue to make sequels, it will definitely not be bad.

Ye Ning sighed: "Director Wu Ershan didn't want to repeat himself, so he planned to start a new series of works, which vacated the director's position of "Mystery Country 2". After thinking about it, we felt that China could take on this important task. Among directors, Guan Dao is the best choice.”

Guan Ru hesitated, he was a proud director, taking over someone else's sequel was equivalent to marrying a second-hand wife, someone else had married her second-hand wife. When had he ever married someone else's second-hand wife?

However, he did not refuse directly. After all, Wanda was opposite, and the two kings of Huayi had to give them face.

Then Ye Ning added: "You might as well tell Director Guan that after Wanda acquires the AMC theater chain in North America, we are also planning to acquire Paramount's shares. From now on, Wanda will be a film and television giant spanning China and the United States. This film "Mysterious Country" is also aimed at big Hollywood productions, and I can give it a maximum budget of 100 million U.S. dollars!"

Hearing this, Guan Rui's eyes lit up. Let alone 100 million dollars, even if it was half and half, that would be a big deal!

Now he was really tempted.

~

At the same time, Wu Ershan also met two people, one was Jiang Zhiqiang from Anle Pictures, and the other was named Song Ge.

He is the boss of Jingxi Cultural Tourism Company. Although this company is called a tourism company, it actually started to get involved in film and television investment many years ago.

The shadow of Jingxi culture can be seen behind works such as Xu Ke's "Seven Swords", Zhang Ziyi's "Perfect", "My Deskmate", and "Beautiful Heart".

Jingxi Culture has also invested in Ning Hao Bad Monkey Company's new film "The Winner", which will be released this month and can be regarded as the company's first venture.

Song Ge and Jiang Zhiqiang had dinner with Wu Ershan to discuss a new movie project, which originated from Tencent's project "The Trilogy of the Gods"!

Song Ge is good at painting cakes. He said exaggeratedly: "The secondary market share of Wang Quan's "Xiaoyaoyou" can reach 1 billion, but the original cost of our "Fengshen" is 1 billion, each one is 1 billion, a total of 3 billion. ! Even Wang Quan will have to kneel down when he sees this!"

"Ah, the cost is so high, can this be recouped?" Although Wu Ershan has announced to Wanda that he will withdraw from the development of the sequel to "The Kingdom of Mysteries", he has not yet confirmed that he will join the "Feng Shen" project, but he is indeed interested.

Song Ge laughed: "Director Wu, even though the current domestic box office is only over 2 billion, the "Feng Shen" series takes a long time. The first part may be five or six years later. With the current annual revenue of 30%, The box office is growing at such a rate that by then, it will be common for a movie to cost 4 to 5 billion.”

Jiang Zhiqiang helped: "Absolutely."

He predicts that "Monster Hunt 2" will break 4 billion, doubling the revenue of the first film.

Song Ge added: "What's national is what's world-wide. "Fengshen" was shot based on the most authentic traditional Chinese mythology. The international market is also very promising. We invited Mr. Jiang as the producer of this series. , there’s nothing else to worry about.”

The sentence "What belongs to the nation is what belongs to the world" touched the depths of Wu Ershan's mind and body. He raised his glass: "I hope we can cooperate happily and write a legend together!"

At the same time, he was thinking: Respect the longevity!

With one month left until the Spring Festival, there are still only four movies scheduled for the Spring Festival, "The Mermaid", "Zhu Xian", "Omen 3" and "Journey to the West: Three Fighting Bone Demons".

They are all gritty blockbusters.

It wasn't until "Kung Fu Panda 3" was released, "Bear Bears" and "Pleasant Goat" were scheduled to be released and decided not to participate in the Spring Festival schedule competition that Ning Hao's Bad Monkey announced that the company-invested cartoon "Nian Beast Wars" was scheduled to be released for the New Year. One, becoming the only cartoon in this Spring Festival.

This film is a spin-off of his previous film "Crazy Nian Beast" and is directed by Zhang Yang, a director of the previous Galloping Pony.

Zhao Benshan's new work "Happy New Year", which has been waiting to be watched, was originally very suitable for the Spring Festival atmosphere, but unfortunately the company behind it was too weak and did not dare to participate in the competition for the Spring Festival release, so it was set for the end of January.

At this point, the Spring Festival schedule has finally been determined. Compared with the crowded situation of eight movies per year in previous years, this year's five movies seem a bit empty.

So netizens began to appeal, hoping that "Parasite" could be released during the Spring Festival.

The King of Power is just invisible, and Parasite of Crazy Dead Man is not suitable for the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and its competitiveness in the Spring Festival is obviously not as good as those movies.

But it’s almost finalized.

On the 9th, Xiaotian received Liang Jiahui, Huang Kaijie and Wen Yongshan who came from Xiangjiang.

Today they will attend the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards of the Four Outposts, which is also the last stop of the Four Outposts.

There are so many of them because they have been shortlisted for so many awards.

There are a total of six nominations for Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor (Tony Leung), Best Supporting Actress (Mary Moon), Best Screenplay, and Best Art Director!

Fan Bingbing was a little sour. If he had known that the competition for female leads was so fierce, he should have entered the supporting female role track like the Golden Horse Awards.

There are also many Hollywood filmmakers who came to support us today, including Leonardo DiCaprio from "The Revenant", Little K from "Room", Kate the Devil from "Carol", etc.

After all, it is a local award in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles film critics still have a certain influence on the Oscars.

The previous Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Art Direction, "Parasite" all failed.

But what is surprising is that Liang Jiahui defeated strong opponents such as Xiao Lizi and won the Best Actor!

This alone definitely deserves to be the first hot search.

Next, Wang Quan won the best director.

The biggest surprise was the Best Picture award. "Parasite" defeated many American films and became the first Chinese-language film to win this award.

Hit, hit!

This is also the first Best Picture win for "Parasite" in the four major outposts!

The next day, Wang Quan picked up Liu Yifei at the airport. Although the filming of "July and Ansheng" has been postponed and she has not finished filming, the Golden Globe Award is very important, so the crew temporarily suspended it for her and waited until she finished her work here. .

On the 11th, Li Ming and Hui Yinghong also rushed over, and they also brought the children Zhou Ming. This time, "Parasite" has the largest number of people after Cannes, and they can all join the table.

And the Golden Globes did not disappoint "Parasite."

From the very beginning, it won the Best Foreign Language Film Award without any suspense.

Next, Wang Quan won the Best Screenplay Award.

With these two awards, today will not be in vain.

But King Power is more concerned about the award for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy.

Nominated include Jennifer Lawrence, Lily Tomlin, Lisa McCarthy and others.

Liu Yifei looks young, and her yellow face also looks out of place.

Wang Quan was sitting next to her, holding her hand and cheering her up. In fact, it was amazing that she could reach this point.

Then they heard the voice of the award presenter: "OMG, the winner is Crystal Liu's "Don't Tell Her", congratulations!!!"
