You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 627 ① The top ten of the year ② The wandering earth is coming ③ Tucao conference ④ The tragedy of LeTV

After five years of filming, Wu Jing has completed the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2" and is working intensively on post-production in preparation for its summer release.

He was caught by Guo Fan just after he came out of the editing room, and Guo Fan also let him watch the latest top ten movies in history.

"Did you see anything?"

Wu Jing: "Last year's new films were so strong. "Leng Feng" used to be number one, but now it's number four!"

Guo Fan shook his head: "I mean, none of the Chinese films here are science fiction films. Brother Jing, it's our turn to create miracles next!"

Wu Jing smiled bitterly, saying that his role as Liu Peiqiang in "The Wandering Earth" was decided by Wang Quan, and he himself liked the story very much.

He didn't think the box office would be high, but he thought it was meaningful and cool, so after discussing with Wang Quan, Dengfeng International also invested a little money to let Director Xiao Guo make a rich fight.

"But you have to wait until I finish the post-production. In this case, you can first confirm the household registration of my son Liu, the other male protagonist."

"Okay, I will audition in a few days and try to start filming in the first half of the year!"

~

"Ah, you asked me to go back for the audition?"

When Han Dongjun was in Mohe, he received a call from the company, and it was also a call personally from one of the bosses, Li Jie, asking him to return to Beijing after finishing the location shooting in Northeast China to audition for the leading role in Liu Cixin's novel "The Wandering Earth".

Liu Cixin knows it very well. Last year, his classmates in Maple Leaf Kingdom asked him when the English version of "The Three-Body Problem" would be released.

Because of the Hugo Award, Chinese science fiction novels stood on the world stage for the first time. Han Dongjun and You Rongyan even bought the Three Body Trilogy, which is still brand new.

Li Feng: "Please take a look at the original work during this time to understand the background of the story. This movie has a large investment. It can be said to be the first science fiction blockbuster in China. The role you are auditioning for can be said to be a double male lead. In addition, One of the male protagonists is Wu Jing.”

Wu Jing's rise is very fast. One "Leng Feng" and one "Wolf Warrior" directly gave him a box office appeal second only to Shen Pain.

Being one of his two male leads, even a second time, is a godsend.

Li Feng warned again: "I heard from Director Guo Fan that you were recommended by Director Quan. It seems that you performed well on the crew of "Xiaoyaoyou"."

Hearing this, Han Dongjun's eyes lit up, "Sister Xue, is this role definitely mine?"

Li Feng: "What good thing are you thinking about? Besides you, the powerful Peng Guanying, Shiba Wenhua's Li Xian, and Zhang Yixing, who has signed an acting contract with Bing Cheng, will all participate in the audition."

"Oh, that's it~" Han Dongjun calmed down.

Li Qian added: "But your advantage is that you are right next to Director Quan. This project is something that Director Quan attaches great importance to. After he finishes filming "Happy Wanderer", he will serve as the producer and supervisor of "The Wandering Earth" and participate in it. The degree is very high, so you can work harder from director Quan. Let me tell you, this movie may be made into a trilogy series, which will be enough for you to be famous for several years.”

Han Dongjun nodded secretly. Han Dongjun, who had already performed well on the crew, became more active and helped the crew throughout the whole process when he was not in the scene. He also rushed to do the martial arts work, just hoping to improve his impression points with Wang Quan. After all, it’s not up to him to decide who will act.

Wang Quan naturally saw his performance and understood the reason. However, this performance was also noticed by Jiang Wen.

One of Han Dongjun's advantages is that he has good physical fitness and has beautiful muscles at a young age.

Especially when everyone went to the bathhouse to take a bath together, apart from Wang Quan, the man he couldn't ask for, only Han Dongjun made his eyes shine.

Although Zhu Yawen has a good figure and is more manly, he is already over 30 after all, while Han Dongjun is in his early 20s, and his young flesh has more visual impact.

He liked both of them, but who told him to make an agreement with Zhu Yawen first.

Finally, before leaving Mohe, Han Dongjun seized a brief opportunity to be alone with Dang Wangquan. He told him about the audition for "The Wandering Earth" and wanted to ask him to give him some advice.

Wang Quan also gave some advice: "My opinion is that this is the first time we have made a domestic science fiction blockbuster. I don't know how long it will take to film. The role you are auditioning for has the most scenes. If you want to impress the director, you have to show your talent." Sincerity, whether it’s schedule or compliance.”

Wang Quan fully respected Guo Fan's wishes. Except for one Wu Jing, Guo Fan's opinions were the main ones.

Han Dongjun nodded secretly. He seemed to understand. He turned around and told Sister Xue to free up the next year's schedule.

On the way back to Beijing, two authoritative art film magazines, Britain's "Sight \u0026 Sound" and France's "Cahiers du Cinema", announced their top ten works of the year in 2016.

Among them, King Quan's "Parasite" is all on the list, and all of them ranked first!

It is also the only Chinese-language film among a total of more than a dozen works on both lists (with overlap).

Netizens lamented that Director Quan had produced an immortal masterpiece that conquered the West and the East and balanced business and art. They also urged him to release this year's personal top ten.

Since netizens wanted to see it so much, Wang Quan listed out the list on the plane. As per the old rules, he still has no directing works of his own, but this time he did not shy away from the movies he starred in, so "July and Ansheng" occupied a seat, and he The contributions of director Jingchu and Xixi Mimi cannot be dismissed.

Wang Dao also produced "Zhu Xian", "The Tuner", "Twenty-Two", "Carnival" and "Maze of the Heart".

This year, the Royal Family has a total of six seats, which is the most in history, because the works produced by other companies this year are really not enough to watch. There are almost no hits that are good, and they can only be selected from niche literary films.

In the end, Happy Mahua's "Donkey Gets Water", the Huayi brothers' "The Demise of Romance", the Hong Kong film "A Big Tree Catches the Wind", and Bi Gan's "Roadside Picnic" were selected by King Quan.

Some people want to refute, thinking that King Power is a bit too much. There are six King Power films this year, so from now on they might as well just list King Power movies.

However, after taking a closer look at last year's movies, I found that Wang Quan was already showing mercy. In the eyes of many people, "Raging Sunny Xiangxi" and "Cold War 2" are obviously very good, and "The Murderer" also remains. There are many classic scenes.

Looking at the blockbuster movies of other companies, "Mermaid", "Journey to the West Part 3" and "Omen III" have indeed been criticized a lot, which has nothing to do with word-of-mouth.

Wanda's "Mysterious Country 2" and Mishi's "Passing Through Your World" can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

It can be seen that the saying "Wang Dao's products must be high-quality" is not an exaggeration at all, especially since Wang Dao can stably and continuously produce high-quality and non-brainy commercial blockbusters. This alone can allow Wang Dao to occupy half of the Chinese-language films.

When the plane landed, Wang Quan's personal top ten list naturally caused quite a stir in the industry.

Some people are happy and some are worried, but Xu Ke is very happy. The fact that he was selected into King Quan's top ten makes him happy second only to winning the box office championship in film history.

This also makes him more confident in the two sequels of the "Zhu Xian" series, which is no better than continuing to guard the "Detective Detective" series.

How much money can one make from "Detective Dee"?

Just as "Zhu Xian" 2 and 3 were being launched, "Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings" was also launched. As the founder of this series, Xu Ke just invested some money and left it to Hua Yi to tinker with it. I heard that they are going to gather together this time The heavenly banquet trio in Qiwanwan.

Huayi has both good and bad news. Cheng Er's "The Demise of Romance" has been favored by the royal power and ranked among the top ten. When selling overseas copyrights in the future, it can be promoted on posters, which is a very important publicity point.

But this film was a box office failure in the mainland. The cost of 150 million was only 120 million in box office, and even if it was a hit overseas, it probably wouldn't be able to make up the money.

At this point, Bona Yudong started to contact Cheng Er after seeing Wang Quan's personal top ten, wanting to collaborate with him on the next film.

However, Cheng Er is not in a hurry to start a new film, he is waiting for the feeling.

Also favored by capital because of King Power is Bi Gan, the new director of "Roadside Picnic".

The film and television industry giant Huace is willing to invest in Bi Gan's new film, no matter what he makes, but there is one thing, the promotion must be at their discretion.

After getting off the plane, Wang Quan went directly to work at Wangdao Building.

Then he saw Yu Feihong in his office, sitting on his boss's chair, waiting for him.

Wang Quan closed the door, walked up to her, held the back of her head and kissed her.

Then Wang Quan picked her up, kicked open the door of the rest room and walked in.

After Sister Fei Hong took over Wang Quan, she asked: "My "Carnival" is really in your top ten of the year. The box office of this film is a bit low."

Sister Fei Hong was also the holder of the box office record in the history of Chinese films and the pioneer of youth films. However, this film won her the best director at the Venice Film Festival and had a Douban score of 8.5. In the end, it only had a box office of 120 million.

It definitely made a profit, but it was also Wangdao's lowest-grossing movie last year, even lower than the documentary "Twenty-Two".

Wang Quan laughed: "Roadside Picnic is not lower. The box office has never been a factor that I consider. The box office is low just because the subject is indeed not a popular subject. It is not a question of your ability. If you want to prove your box office ability, I I can help you pick a big-selling theme.”

Yu Feihong lazily turned over and turned his back to Wang Quan, "No, every time I shoot a movie, I always feel that I have to consume a lot of energy. I'd better wait for two years. I really admire you for filming year after year. And every one of them is so good.”

Wang Quan shook his head: "I'm going to take a break after filming "Happy Journey". Once a man turns 30, except for his lust and interest in women, other things seem to be less persistent."

Yu Feihong chuckled: "You seem to be different from the men over 30 years old that I know."

"Um?"

"They became interested in many things, such as fishing, skewering, and trimming donkey hooves, but women became more and more distant from them."

Wang Quan said bluntly: "Maybe it's because they always deal with one woman and their lives lack freshness."

When he was getting off work, Wang Quan met Yang Chaoyue, carrying a big schoolbag filled with live broadcast equipment and preparing to go to a restaurant to live broadcast.

Well, it's very fresh.

Yang Chaoyue felt a little complicated when she saw Wang Quan. Sister Mi misunderstood her relationship with Wang Quan, and then they divorced. Could it be that she had something to do with it?

Because Yang Mi has been filming these days, she has never seen Sister Mi. This is the first time she has met Director Wang Quan.

"Where are you going? Do you want me to take you there?"

"No, no, it's very convenient to take the subway."

"You don't have a car yet?"

"Me? Of course I don't have one anymore. It's so difficult to win the lottery in the capital."

Wang Quan: "So it's hard to get a lottery number, not that you can't afford it? Then you can ask Meng Ziyi to help you. Then the car will be registered under the company's name. Otherwise, you may not get a number even if you wait for ten or eight years."

Hearing Wang Quan say this, Yang Chaoyue was a little tempted, but in the end she shook her head, "The car depreciates. I'm still waiting to save enough money to buy a house. I'll buy a car when I have spare money."

Wang Quan nodded approvingly, but she is now doing live broadcasting, and it is not easy to buy a house in Beijing. I don't know when Mi Shi's "Produce 101" will be launched.

Back home, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei have returned. Xiao Xianmi is wandering outside the kitchen, waiting to be served.

After dinner, Yang Mi waited for her daughter to fall asleep, and then turned on the Tencent video on TV, "I heard there is a program that is exciting. Let's take a look?"

"What other exciting programs can there be in China?"

Then he saw the first episode of "Tucao Conference", hosted by Wang Zijian, the main coffee Zhou Jie, and the Tucao guests included Xue Yi, Shi Hang, Li Dan, Chi Zi, etc.

This program is indeed very explicit, which is rare in China.

Yang Mi said: "This program will definitely be popular among young people."

Liu Yifei said: "It feels that it is not as critical as the American version, it is still too gentle."

Wang Quan said: "You still expect the scale of foreign countries. With the current scale, I think the program needs to be rectified, especially the parts where Chi Zi complained about Aunt Xue."

The two were half-believing and half-doubting, and then Wang Quan asked about "Produce 101", "Are you planning to use this program to cooperate with Tencent Video?"

Among the three major video websites, Tencent Video is the strongest.

Yang Mi: "If possible, of course I hope to broadcast it on our own video website platform."

Seeing her expression, Wang Quan guessed: "Did the talks go well?"

Yang Mi nodded: "Zhang Chaoyang is determined not to sell, saying that Sohu is not worth much anyway, so he keeps it for retirement."

"What about LeTV?" Wang Quan asked again.

"Boss Jia said he can sell it, and he will sell it for 100 billion."

Wang Quan's expression froze instantly: "LeTV's problems have been exposed, how dare he call out a price of 100 billion? Even at its peak, LeTV's stock price was not worth 100 billion."

Do you really think I'm Sun Hongbin!

"He said that LeTV is his favorite, his own son, so he has to pay more."

Liu Yifei: "He just doesn't want to sell it."

Wang Quan shook his head: "You can't not sell it if you don't want to. Do you know who owns the copyrights of classic domestic film and television dramas?"

Yang Mi asked: "LeTV?"

Wang Quan: "Half is in LeTV's hands, and half is in Wang Dao's hands."

Before Wang Quan got the film and television library plug-in, LeTV began to plunder domestic film and television copyrights. Wang Dao started later, but was more willing to spend money, so he was able to occupy half of the market.

Later, LeTV collapsed, and Lao Jia went abroad. LeTV's distribution rights for these film and television copyrights alone were enough to pay the wages of these domestic employees.

Many classic TV series and movies on the three major video websites basically bought the distribution rights from LeTV.

If Wangdao + LeTV, then the copyright of classic domestic TV series and movies before 2010 will be directly cut off, which can become the basis for the rise of this new website.

Therefore, Wangquan is determined to buy this LeTV, and he has to sell it!
