You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 603 ① The price of fat ice ② Mothers don’t think daughters are ugly ③ The golden body is broken

Before the British and Austrian awards, "Parasite" had already won three union awards from the Writers Guild of America for Best Original Screenplay, the Editors Guild for Best Edited Feature Film, and the Art Directors Guild for Best Art Direction for a Contemporary Film.

When Wang Quan was on the plane, Dorothy brought good news again. The Directors Guild gave him the best feature film director.

"I've already brought the trophy back for you, just leave it on the dragon's head." Dorothy laughed and said.

"Well, now that there's only one producers union left, what are our chances of winning the Oscars now?"

Dorothy: "Maybe 40%. Now the final voting has begun. I heard that many Academy members are very excited about having a Chinese-language film win the Oscar."

Final voting begins on February 12 and ends on February 23.

There are 9 Best Picture nominees, and "Parasite" has nearly half of the chances of winning, which is already very good, and the second seed "The Revenant" is also a dragon raising its head. This wave of dragons raising its head is standing in the atmosphere, and it is difficult to lose. .

Afterwards, Dorothy cared about her son again. After all, he was the meat that fell from her belly.

"He is so happy now that he might not even want to go back after the New Year."

"It's okay if you don't want to come back. Bring him back to me when you attend the Oscars!" Dorothy warned.

But there are still more than ten days until Oscar. I have to spend time with the little guy when I go back this time to see if there are any other places he wants to go.

After hanging up the phone, Pang Bing squeezed into Wang Quan's seat, with a layer of gauze covering his body.

As for Meng Ziyi and Guo Xuefu, they only serve people.

"Director, I don't want to act in "Wushuang" anymore."

Wang Quan was stunned: "I heard that you worked as a maid in Zhang Jingchu's house for three days before convincing her to give up. Why don't you stop acting?"

Fan Bingbing: "I heard that the heroine of the new film directed by Spielberg will be cast by a Chinese actor. I want to give it a try."

Wang Quan said bluntly: "No way, I prepared this for Mimi."

Mimi, an international superstar, has not appeared in international projects since "Pacific Rim".

There are other Hollywood companies looking for her, but what good resources can those companies give her? Not to mention that there are not many roles, they are all small roles shoehorned in for the Chinese market, and they are full of stereotypes.

Don't say she won't take it, even Fan Bingbing doesn't like that kind of role now.

So Wang Quan prepared the heroine of "Ready Player One" for her, but the project has not yet reached the casting stage, and Wang Quan did not tell her.

Fan Bingbing rolled his eyes: "Then what if I can convince Mr. Mi?"

Wang Quan glanced at her: "Spielberg's heroine invested 150 million in a large-scale production. This is not something that can be done by being a maid for three days. Are you sure?"

Fan Bingbing: "I just have to do my best and let fate dictate. At my age, there are not many opportunities to be a heroine. I want to work harder in the last few years of my acting career so that I can get a few more highlights in my acting career." "

"Don't be so pessimistic. Your face will be beautiful for at least ten more years. Your good days are still to come."

Wang Quan touched Pang Bing's head and acquiesced to the matter. If she had the ability to convince Mimi, then she would have nothing to say.

Then Pang Bing began to use all kinds of martial arts to thank the king.

During the more than ten-hour voyage, fortunately, three ladies accompanied him in various ways, so Wang Quan would not be alone.

After the plane landed, Wang Quan went directly to Sister Fei Hong. Xian Mi was out promoting the movie and there was no one at home.

He took a special shower before getting off the plane, and there was no smell of her perfume on him.

It was getting late, so Wang Quan opened the door and went in. Sister Fei Hong was preparing food for him in the kitchen. Wang Quan first rubbed her cat.

Then he washed his hands and hugged Sister Fei Hong's waist from behind.

"Don't make trouble, it's almost done. Go to the restaurant and wait."

Wang Quan bit her ear and asked, "Do you want to be in the kitchen or the restaurant?"

Yu Feihong hesitated for a moment and turned off the fire, while Wang Quan closed the kitchen door.

By the time the two of them ate the meal, the first meal was already a little cold, but Sister Feihong felt warm in her belly.

During the process, Wang Quan took out a belated Valentine's Day gift he gave her, a toy made of jade.

It was carved based on the template of royal power. Sister Fei Hong played with it, "No wonder it looks familiar. This gift is quite interesting."

And it was expensive, so Sister Fei Hong carefully collected it.

"Carnival" has just completed the filming part. If the filming is completed early, this type of film is actually very suitable for the Berlin Film Festival, but now the only options are Cannes and Venice.

"I know what my level is. If I go to Cannes, I'm afraid I won't get anything. It's better to go to Venice and try my luck. The time is more flexible."

Wang Quan: "Okay, I will help you deal with Venice."

"Are you still leaving tonight?" Sister Fei Hong asked him after dinner.

"I'm not leaving. I'll pick up the kids tomorrow."

Hearing this, Sister Fei Hong looked happy and said, "I'll go change my clothes."

It seemed that she had prepared a surprise for herself, but when she came out, she didn't change her clothes, it was still her original home clothes.

It wasn't until he peeled off the outer layer when he went to sleep that Wang Quan knew that the surprise was inside!

The next day, Wang Quan came to Lao Wang's place. Xiao Yu'er, Taotao and Xiao Xianmi had a great time.

My son truly believes that his sister is much better than his elder sister. Now he raises his hands and feet to support Little K’s mother in giving him another sister.

Although Lao Wang has been concentrating on teasing his grandchild these days, he is also concerned about the movie market, especially after "Zhu Xian" overtook "Mermaid" at the box office in a single day. He is very curious about who will win in the end.

But today when my son came over, he talked about something else.

"On Valentine's Day, there are several new movies focusing on love. Are you paying attention?"

Wang Quan shook his head.

Lao Wang said with a smile: "The first one is "Running for Love" produced by Huayi and distributed by Enlight. It is a platter of movies made by several middle-aged male directors. The box office on the first day was 35 million."

Wang Quan: "The results are okay."

Lao Wang smiled even more exaggeratedly: "Yesterday was the second day of release, and there were only 4 million left at the box office."

"Ah, so exaggerated! It's really a Valentine's Day special."

Lao Wang continued: "There is also Wanda's "Murder in Time", starring Huang Xiaoming and his wife, which earned 10 million on the first day and 1 million on the second day."

In comparison, "Mr. Heels" produced by LeTV and starring Du Jiang and Fiona Sit was pretty good, with 30 million on the first day and 10 million on the second day, which is considered stable.

However, these Valentine's Day movies pose no threat to the Spring Festival box office. Mermaid's box office today has reached 2.2 billion.

Although "Zhu Xian" started to overtake in a single day, it may still not be able to stop "Mermaid" from breaking the film history record of "Leng Feng", so now Wang Quan has begun to prepare a poster for "Mermaid".

The Spring Festival has passed a few days ago, and the art examinations for art academies such as Nortel and China National Theater have begun to proceed in an orderly manner.

There are many star candidates this year, including Zhou Xi, Guan Xiaotong, Zhang Xueying, Guo Junchen, and Zhao Jiamin.

Although Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Xueying have filmed more movies and have a wider mass base, Zhou Xi made his debut in King Quan's movie. Even if he didn't have many roles, he has been following him in Cannes and the United States in the past year. In the eyes of the media, he has already been A new star who is about to shine in the film industry.

So as soon as she appeared at the entrance of Nortel, she was spotted by the media who were surrounding her. They were still taking pictures of Guan Xiaotong, but they turned around and took pictures of her again.

Not only was she photographed, but also "Tian Xiwei" who became popular because of Wang Sicong a while ago, and a tall beauty who helped them carry their bags.

Yang Chaoyue is the one carrying the bag. She has already put her father on the plane. This time she is here to accompany her family members to take the exam. She does not need to take the exam.

The initial test is actually very simple, just recite a line, choose a poem or article to recite, and it is required to be completely bare-faced, unscripted, and the entire process is videotaped.

In this process, the judges make preliminary judgments based on voice and appearance, and eliminate those whose appearance, speaking skills are not up to par, and whose mental state is not good enough.

In this regard, child actors have an advantage. After all, they have filmed and seen the camera before, so they won't have problems due to nervousness.

Because Yang Chaoyue was not a candidate, she gave the bag to the two of them and waited outside with other parents.

But she was also a person who couldn't sit still, so she started chatting with a parent wearing sunglasses next to her.

At first, the other party didn't want to talk to her, but Yang Chaoyue's affinity was unparalleled, and soon the two started chatting passionately. One was in a daze, the other was chattering, and their brain waves matched.

After chatting for a while, Yang Chaoyue looked at the other person's face, listened to her voice, and suddenly reacted, "Auntie, does it look familiar to you? Yan Ni! Are you the shopkeeper Tong?"

Seeing someone looking over here, Yan Ni shushed, "Keep your voice down, let's go and talk in my car."

"Okay, Teacher Yan, you have such a good figure and you look so young! Is your daughter going to college? I felt like it from the beginning, but I'm not sure!" Yang Chaoyue immediately turned to Yan Ni. At the intersection, she got into her private car.

Yan Ni took off his sunglasses: "Why don't you take the exam? I think you have good conditions."

"I can't do it. I don't have enough academic qualifications, but I will also go to Nortel to take advanced courses. The company will pay for it."

"Hey, are you an artist too?"

"Well, I signed the company, you know Mishi."

"How could you not know, it's a big company!" Yan Ni exclaimed, "Little girl, you hide it so well!"

"Oh, no, no, I'm just a small role in the company."

"Have you ever acted in any drama?"

"not yet."

"With such good looks, there will be a chance." Yan Ni looked at this girl, then thought about his daughter Zou Yuanqing, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Although the mother does not think her daughter is ugly, her daughter does look a bit ordinary. Fortunately, passing the art exam should not be a problem. It just depends on whether my old face can help her take on a few roles in the future.

Yan Ni also had ice cream in the car, so the two of them ate ice cream and chatted while waiting for the exam to end.

"Teacher Yan, are you going to accompany me on all three exams?" Yang Chaoyue asked while swiping ice cream.

"It's not just three shows. There are still six shows in total. If you have some free time recently, I can accompany you if you can," Yan Ni said. "Her father and I are divorced. Although the children are with me, I'm afraid that the children will feel that I'm with them." Hong is dissatisfied with her father, so she will try to satisfy her as much as possible. "

"Yeah, you're divorced too. My parents are divorced too?"

"Are you also a child of a single-parent family?"

"Well, I live with my dad, so I know how hard it is to raise a child alone. It's already amazing that you can raise your child independently. You don't have to feel like you owe it to anyone."

Although Yan Ni really didn't think it would be hard to raise a child alone with her financial resources, Yang Chaoyue's words made her feel comfortable.

She asked: "Then have you ever complained about your mother?"

Yang Chaoyue was silent for a moment: "Well, no matter what, I am definitely not willing to live a hard life. Since she has a chance to choose again, I wish her well. She now has her own family and children to take care of."

From these words, Yan Ni could already guess the reason why the child's parents divorced. The poor and humble couple had everything to suffer from.

She couldn't help but touch Yang Chaoyue's head, what a miserable baby.

After Zhou Xi and the others finished their exams, Yang Chaoyue told her two friends about the experience they had just experienced.

Tian Xiwei suddenly said "ah".

"What happened?" Yang Chaoyue asked, "Did you lose your admission ticket?"

"I suddenly remembered that there was a little girl in our examination room who looked very similar to Yan Ni. She might be her daughter."

Zhou Xi chuckled on the side, but his hands did not stop.

She sent a WeChat message to Wang Quan, telling him that she had passed the exam and it went well.

Wang Quan thought for a while and called Sister Fei Hong again. She was one of the examiners for the final exam of the acting department. She still had to take care of her two future young stars.

Then he kept working on the drawing board to finish the poster of "Leng Feng" congratulating "Mermaid" for winning the box office record in mainland film history.

The next day, "Mermaid" officially surpassed the box office record of 2.389 billion set by "Leng Feng" two years ago, reaching 2.4 billion, and it only took 10 days!

Wang Quan @the official account of "Mermaid" on Weibo, released this poster, and added: How lonely it is to be invincible, how empty it is to be invincible...

On the poster, the wolf warrior Leng Feng holds a gun and the mermaid Reba together to resist Zhang Yuqi's attack, but the design is more humorous. The male protagonist Deng Chao is flying in the sky in a flying machine.

Zhou Xingchi does not have a Weibo account, but Mermaid's official account conveyed Zhou Xingchi's meaning: Alone at the top, "cold fronts" kept blowing by...

The conversation between the two is actually the theme song "Invincible" sung by Deng Chao in "The Mermaid".

In the past, Wang Quan was really invincible, but now it is Zhou Xingchi's turn, but it should be Old Monster Xu soon.

After Wang Quan handed over this invisible scepter, the Asian Film Awards and the French César Awards successively announced the shortlists for "Who is He".

Among them, "Who is He" was shortlisted for six awards at the 10th Asian Film Awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Newcomer, and Best Editing.

The César Award is shortlisted for the best foreign language film. France's highest award has no precedent of accepting other language films to participate in major awards.

It’s been a long time since Wang Quan attended the Asian Film Awards. This time the invitation was so strong that I couldn’t even think about it~

It's a pity that "Parasite" has not been released in Asia, so the relevant awards will have to wait until next year~
