You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 635 ①LeTV changes ownership②Wonder Woman's mother③Little golden men x 10! ④12775 women

You should know that since "Inception" in 2009, Wang Quan's movies have been the annual champions in the mainland for 6 consecutive years.

However, since "Leng Feng" in 2014, Wang Quan has not won the annual champion in the mainland for two consecutive years.

On the surface, it seems that he has really been abandoned by the audience and no longer has dominance over the mainland movie box office market.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the works he produced in 2015 and 2016 were all art films, which are not popular box office types. Being able to win multiple awards such as Oscars, Cannes, Venice, and Golden Horse, and catching up with or even surpassing Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige in two years, this is the biggest victory of art films.

However, even so, the two movies have achieved results of more than 1 billion and more than 2 billion respectively, which is an absolute reflection of his box office appeal.

Well-known Wang Quan die-hard fan "I am not Liu Yifei" said on Weibo: Some black fans' comments seem really ridiculous. Whether Wang Quan has been abandoned by the audience can be seen from the box office of "Xiaoyaoyou" this year. I dare to guarantee that this year's annual champion and the box office champion of mainland film history will be this movie. If you don't believe it, wait and see!

As soon as this statement came out, there were many supporters. Movie fans were looking forward to "Xiaoyaoyou" and tried every means to find out all the information about this movie from various channels.

Some people are curious about what kind of story the movie tells. Is it really the legendary biography of Zhuangzi?

Others are curious about who the heroine of the trilogy is? Will Yang Mi participate? I heard that the film also brought together four Oscar winners. Is it true?

The "Xiaoyaoyou" trilogy does have some foreign characters, and they are scattered in the trilogy, but it will take until Wang Quan returns from the United States to shoot these actors' not many scenes.

Of course, he went to the United States because of the Oscars. Last year, the Oscars gave him face and let him win a big victory. This time, he went to present the Best Director Award and visit his two children and their mothers.

Two days before Wang Quan went to the United States, LeTV boss Jia Yueting went to the United States first.

Just when Wang Quan was busy filming and flirting, Accountant Jia finally couldn't hold on.

Sell, I sold LeTV to pay you back, isn't it okay!

Although the one who owes money now is the uncle, there are always some unscrupulous creditors among his debtors. They really dare to restrict their personal freedom and even give him some color.

If he was alone, it would be fine, but he still has a wife and children, and three children.

He had no choice but to cash in his industry to pay back the money, and this could only pay back part of it.

Fortunately, his Faraday Future electric car in the United States was favored by Wall Street financial institutions, which ignited his hope of a comeback. Electric cars, this is the outlet!

Damn, I have a good vision.

So he cut the Gordian knot and joined other shareholders to sell LeTV (including LeTV Building) for 8 billion, and other industries were also sold.

Accountant Jia finally collected 6 billion, less than one-tenth of his peak wealth.

However, he only paid back the more urgent 4 billion, and left 1 billion as a trust fund for his wife and children, so that even if he died, they would not have to worry about the rest of their lives.

Finally, the remaining 1 billion was used to develop Faraday Future.

1 billion is definitely not enough. Isn't there Wall Street? When the time comes, I will definitely make them pay obediently with my eloquence.

"Goodbye Huaxia, goodbye Beijing, goodbye Ganwei, but I will definitely come back, maybe for a long time, or maybe next week..."

When Wang Quan flew to Los Angeles, the female bodyguard Erxiu was driving Yang Mi and Yang Tianzhen to LeTV Building.

LeTV Building is located at No. 105 Yaojiayuan Road near Chaoyang Park on the Fourth Ring Road, with a total area of ​​20,000 square meters and a total of 14 floors.

It has two more floors than Wangdao Building, and its area is slightly smaller than Wangdao Building.

The two buildings are both in Chaoyang District. It is very convenient to drive along the Fourth Ring Road in less than half an hour.

Because Accountant Jia was eager to sell, the joint company, which mainly included Wangdao, Mishi, Qiankun, ByteDance, and Hesong, Bingcheng, Yuewen, and Shiba Culture, only spent 8 billion to take down this video website that could reach the top five in China at its peak.

Now they have come to take over the company. Not only did Yang Mi come with her confidant Yang Tianzhen, but Chen Chuling also came, Li Bingbing and Li Xing came, and Fan Bingbing also came.

And their sisters' former agent Sister Hua also came on behalf of Shiba Culture.

As the largest shareholder of LeTV at this time, Mishi made her final appearance. When she came, Sister Hua and Shuangbing had been chatting for a while.

Who would have thought that the two little girls under his command would now grow into giants.

Although Shiba Culture is still the top agency in China, with first-line superstars such as Liu Ye, Huang Xuan, Tang Yan, and Nazha, Bingcheng and Hesong have gone further in film and television investment. In terms of wealth, these two Bingbings are definitely better than her.

However, Sister Hua doesn't think they have much business talent, it's just that they followed the right man.

She only hates that she gave birth to a son. Zijian, Zijian, it would be better if you were a girl.

Of course, Sister Hua is still very flattering to the two of them on the surface, and Shuangbing is not disrespectful. Let her stand between the two of them, as if she is the only one who follows her lead, which greatly satisfies Sister Hua's vanity.

At this time, Chen Chuling said: "Mimi's car is here."

Yang Mi arrived. She looked at the building in front of her. This building alone is worth almost 1 billion.

She smiled and said to Shuang Bing: "LeTV alone doesn't need so much space. Why don't you move your company here and save the rent?"

Li Bingbing smiled and said: "That's what I was thinking. It will be convenient to discuss cooperation when the time comes. What do you think, Sister Hua?"

Wang Jingqi laughed and said: "As long as the rent is lower than the original place, I will move."

Yang Mi pointed to the LeTV logo and name on the top of the building again, "The name needs to be changed."

They have decided that LeTV.com will change its name. Affected by Jia Yueting's previous shitty things, LeTV's reputation has also been rotten. There is no point in continuing to use this brand. It is better to use LeTV's resources to create a new brand.

So Wang Quan asked several companies to come up with a name.

Mi Shi thought it would be good to call it Mi Shi.

Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing discussed it and thought Bing Shi was also good.

Lao Wang liked the name "Qiankun Video".

Finally, because of Wang Quan's support, the name "Xigua Video" proposed by ByteDance was used.

Although it doesn't have a profound meaning, it is at least catchy and easy to remember.

Several people stepped into the LeTV building, and the current head of LeTV.com lined up with several important employees to greet them.

LeTV.com is still suspended, and Yang Mi and others have no plans to privatize and delist. It is not easy for video websites to make money at this stage, and they still have to rely on the stock market to cut leeks and invest in content production.

Don't look at LeTV.com being called for by everyone now. After changing its name and announcing the entry of several companies such as Wang Dao, maybe the 8 billion they invested can be doubled directly.

Originally, Wang Quan didn't plan to get involved in LeTV, just to give Qiankun and Mi Shi a chance to own a video website, and he would concentrate on producing movies.

However, considering the future market value of LeTV.com, if Wang Dao also becomes a shareholder of LeTV, then the market will definitely have more confidence in this new LeTV.

Los Angeles.

Surrounded by bodyguards, Alex came to pick up his father with the new dog star gold coins.

"A Dog's Purpose" has made over 70 million US dollars in North American box office and is being released, while "The Great Wall" directed by Kai Ge has made over 40 million and is no longer scheduled. Seeing that Ben Affleck's brother was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor, Matt Damon regretted it.

"A Dog" will be released in mainland China at the beginning of next month. After the Oscars, Wang Quan took them to Beijing and asked Alex to take the gold coins to participate in the film promotion.

Wang Quan and his son went directly to Long Tai Yang. The company has now hung up the poster of "The Meg", starring Li Bingbing and Dwayne Johnson. It is the company's next movie to be released, scheduled for mid-June.

The company has cooperated a lot with Dwayne Johnson, and there is another "Rampage" next.

When he arrived at the company, Alex was like returning home, and he went to play by himself with the gold coins. Wang Quan thought Dorothy was in the company, but she went to Netflix. Currently, Ma Ling is in charge of the company.

Before "A Dog", the last film in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series directed by her, "Fifty Shades Darker", was released. Unfortunately, it did not exceed 400 million dollars worldwide.

From the first film's 500 million+, to the second film's 400 million+, to this film's 399 million, although the "Fifty Shades" series made money, the box office was getting lower and lower, and the reputation was getting worse and worse, which made Ma Ling feel very disappointed.

So Wang Quan warmed her up, right in her desk.

Finally, Wang Quan comforted her: "This is not your problem. It's really that the original work is just that little bit. The audience in the first film may be curious about how to present SM on the big screen, but it will definitely be more and more difficult to attract normal audiences later."

Hearing him say this, Ma Ling felt much better. Wang Quan asked her what she was busy with recently, "Are you still filming?"

"I don't have the urge to be a director for the time being. I'm making a movie, a biopic." Ma Ling pointed to the tape of Queen on the table.

The company plans to make a biopic of Queen's lead singer Freddie Mercury and name it "Bohemian Rhapsody". The director is Bryan Singer, the director of the recent "X-Men". Wang Quan thinks this plan is good.

Ma Ling said: "It's not for money, it's mainly for feelings."

Wang Quan thought that this movie made a lot of money. It was the highest-grossing biopic before "Oppenheimer".

The copyright of the biographical novel "American Prometheus: Oppenheimer's Triumph and Tragedy" has been acquired by Long Taizhi, but it has to wait for a suitable director.

After work, Wang Quan took his son home, called Gadot on the way, and then went to pick up Alice from kindergarten. This is her last year in kindergarten, and she will soon become an elementary school student.

Gadot is still very busy this year. The three movies she starred in will be released in the same year. The property that Wang Quan gave her is enough for tens of billions, and she is still working so hard.

After meeting, she took the initiative to kiss Wang Quan and said to him coquettishly, "Wonder Woman may be the most important role in my life. I can relax after playing this series."

Two of the three movies this year are Wonder Woman, "Wonder Woman" in the summer and "Justice League" in November, and the other is "Fast and Furious 8".

Coincidentally, the release dates of "Justice League" and "Getaway" are very close.

The couple will have a head-on confrontation at that time, but Gadot is not clear now.

This time, Wang Quan came to Los Angeles to attend the Oscars and brought the first trailer of "Getaway" and announced the global release date.

This will be the largest global release plan for Chinese films.

At dinner time, K and Dorothy went home one after another, and everyone was busy at night.

The next day, Wang Quan appeared on a talk show on Netflix, which will be launched on the homepage three days later. In this show, Wang Quan talked about his new film trilogy plan, his marriage that just ended, and his recent love life.

Before the Oscars, Netflix released a trailer for this interview and circled the key points. The American audience was okay, after all, "Happy Journey" is a Chinese film, and Yang Mi is not very familiar with it.

The domestic audience is a little impatient, and they don’t pay much attention to the Oscars. And if you have that time, you can’t go on a talk show in China, even if Lu Yu has an appointment!

K and Dorothy are going to participate in the Oscars, so Gadot can only stay at home to look after the children. The two wives will go together, and Wang Quan will go by himself.

This year, the Dragon Rising, "La La Land", "Manchester by the Sea" and "Hacksaw Ridge" were nominated for Best Picture, accounting for one-third of the nominations. Dorothy is determined to win the Best Picture.

No matter how dissatisfied the other six are, the quality of Dragon Rising is here, and it has the confidence.

Among the award presenters, Wang Quan also saw old acquaintances such as Charlize Theron, Nicole and Scarlett. Everyone exchanged glances and agreed to meet again after the Oscars.

Last year, "Parasite" and "The Farewell" made Chinese films have a strong presence at the Oscars, but this year there is no such situation.

It's not that the Oscars made an exception for Chinese films, but for King David.

This year, there is only one Best Picture nominee, "Lion", which has many Indian elements, a bit like the "Slumdog Millionaire" of that year, and coincidentally, the male lead is the same, Dev Patel, and Nicole Kidman also participated in the performance and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

Although Dave was not nominated, he came to the scene and blew a kiss to Wang Quan enthusiastically. This was the noble man who brought him into the Hollywood entertainment industry.

Wang Quan also blew a kiss back, but it was not to Dave, but to Nicole next to him.

In "Wonder Woman", she was invited to play Gadot's mother, the Queen of the Amazon, so from now on she will not be the mother of Aquaman, but the mother of Wonder Woman.

Wang Quan thought about it and felt more exciting!

Soon, the host Jimmy Kimmel came on stage, the Jimmy from "Jimmy Show", and the award ceremony officially began.

Wang Quan heard the name of "La La Land" many times.

Best Original Song, Best Original Music, Best Art Direction.

Then the name of "Hacksaw Ridge", Best Sound Effects, Best Film Editing.

Wang Quan cheered for "Manchester by the Sea" in his heart, you have to stand up.

Then I saw Ben and Matt brothers came on stage to present the Best Original Screenplay Award.

"La La Land" and "Manchester by the Sea" are both on the nomination list.

The latter was the winner in the end. Finally, all three of Long Riding's films have little golden men in hand.

Next, let's see if the little golden men of Long Riding this year can reach double digits. Now there are six.

Meryl Streep and Javier Barden came on stage to present the Best Cinematography Award. "La La Land" won the award, and Long Riding won the seventh little golden man tonight.

Soon, all the small awards were over, and it was Wang Quan's turn to go on stage.

The Best Director will be announced soon.

Wang Quan, who holds two little golden men for Best Director, received warm applause as soon as he came on stage. Wang Quan's dress today is also very mature and steady, and he has the aura of a master of a generation.

"I was really embarrassed when voting a month ago. I have seen all five movies. Each of them is so excellent. Some are my predecessors, some are my peers, and the youngest Damien Chazelle is only 32 years old. What month were you born?" He also interacted.

Damien Chazelle answered, "January."

"Oh, February." Wang Quan showed a small expression of obvious pride.

The audience laughed. He was just showing off his young and promising achievements, but he was not annoying.

"Okay, let's see who won the award..." After opening the envelope, Wang Quan said in surprise, "Let's congratulate Damien Chazelle, who was born in January 1985!"

If it weren't for Wang Quan, Damien Chazelle would be the youngest Oscar winner in Oscar history. Unfortunately, he was standing in front of a man who won the Oscar for Best Director, Best Picture and many other awards at the age of 23 nine years ago!

Damien Chazelle, 32, can only rank second on this list.

Dorothy shook hands with Damien Chazelle, and the dragon raised its head tonight, and the little golden man x8!

Then Xiao K took the stage to present the Best Actor Award.

The male lead of "La La Land" Gao Lingling is the male lead of Wang Quan's first screenwriter work "Love of the Inflatable Doll".

The male lead of "Manchester by the Sea" Casey Affleck is the male lead of Wang Quan's "Escape Room".

Andrew Garfield from "Hacksaw Ridge" is the male lead in "Juno".

The three are good friends with Wang Quan, who wishes he could win the Best Actor award, but the Oscars are not Golden Rooster Awards.

The other two nominees are super black superstar Denzel Washington and Viggo Mortensen, the king of men in "Lord of the Rings". The competition is very fierce.

Finally, Xiao K announced the result, and the winner is Casey Affleck, the younger brother of the big star Ben Affleck.

At this moment, Ben Affleck was patting his good friend Matt Damon on the shoulder to comfort him, "It doesn't matter anyway, it's our brother who won the award."

Matt smiled bitterly and shook his head, shouting in his heart: Chen Kaige, I hate you!

Dorothy muttered in her heart: Little golden man x 9!

Garfield smiled and applauded Cassie. After Leo came on stage to present the Best Actress award, Garfield glanced at his ex-girlfriend Emma Stone not far away. The former Spider-Man and Gwen are now just ordinary friends.

He sincerely hopes that his ex-girlfriend can defeat Meryl Streep and Isabelle Huppert to win the Best Actress award.

But when Leo really announced that Emma won the award, Garfield's mood became a little complicated.

My ex-girlfriend ascended, but I seem to be the same as before.

Dorothy was very happy, little golden man x 10!

It would be great if Dragon Rising could win the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress tonight!

Finally, the Best Picture presenters came on stage, and the 80-year-old Warren Beatty and 76-year-old Faye Dunaway, the couple from Bonnie and Clyde, came on stage to present the award.

Wang Quan looked at Warren Beatty, and for the first time, there was an emotion of admiration in his eyes. Similarly, the emotion in Leo's eyes was exactly the same as Wang Quan's.

Wang Quan had only had relationships with more than a hundred women, and Leo had about the same number. Compared with this 80-year-old man, they were just a drop in the ocean.

A biographer, Peter Biskind, once wrote a book called "Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America?", which recorded that Warren Beatty had slept with 12,775 women!

And these women included the famous Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh, Brigitte Bardot, Jane Fonda, Isabelle Adjani, Madonna, etc.!

Joan Collins, known as the British slut in Hollywood, said that the reason for their breakup was that Warren Beatty had too much sexual desire: "He could do it seven times a night, and I just lay there."

Even if Peter Biskind's statement was a bit exaggerated, and the decimals and round numbers seemed fake, even if the discount was 10%, it would still be more than a thousand.

It was a remarkable achievement, and the key was that many of them were female stars from the golden age of Hollywood.

Wang Quan was just ashamed of himself, and Warren Beatty handed the opened envelope to Faye Dunaway, who announced that the winner was "La La Land".

Wow, 11 little golden men! Won the best picture, director, actor and actress!

Dorothy kissed Xiao K excitedly, and then kissed Wang Quan, and then took the team to the stage to receive the award...

...
