You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 655 ①IU②Rampaging Korean Entertainment③Rampaging Taiwanese Entertainment④4 billion!

It took 11 days for Wolf Warrior 2 to reach 3 billion, while Happy Journey took only 9 days.

So many people on the Internet believe that Happy Journey is likely to win the championship in film history.

However, Wang Quan does not think so. Wolf Warrior 2 is just slow to develop.

Because Wang Quan's own aura is too strong, Happy Journey actually has some fan movie characteristics. Its explosion mode is similar to Hollywood blockbusters. It exploded very strongly in the front, but it was far inferior to Wolf Warrior 2 in the second weekend, and it may not be as durable.

Of course, I am talking about Happy Journey, not Wang Quan.

He was not idle on the plane. Meng Jie, Xue Fu, and Dudu took turns to fight.

On the 2017 Forbes Global Rich List released last month, Wang Quan was listed as one of the only three Chinese rich people in the top 20 of the global rich list with a public wealth of 34.5 billion US dollars, ranking 15th.

The other two are Wang Jianlin of Wanda at 19th place and Li Jiacheng at 20th place.

And it is worth mentioning that Wang Quan is the only single man in the top 20.

Being single, rich, handsome and talented, Wang Quan is bound to attract many women wherever he goes.

Many times he did not take the initiative, but his romantic encounters followed him like a shadow.

Without the constraints of marriage, those unrestrained women in the entertainment industry have become more unscrupulous, even if they look pure.

Wang Quan went to Kimchi country to get in touch with Yoona and Sun Sun, but he didn't expect that he had sex with IU before they met.

IU, whose real name is Li Zhien, is 24 years old this year. She is a first-line singer in Kimchi with both creative talent and excellent singing voice. She is also a rare solo singer who has not debuted in a group.

Because the Korean promotional song of "Xiaoyaoyou" was sung by her, and she was also needed for the promotion, so the first woman Wang Quan saw when he came here was her.

It was still in the hotel, and there was no one else.

So, with the help of IU's specially learned poor Chinese, the two laughed and rolled in bed, and were almost blocked by Yoona in the room. Fortunately, she left a few minutes early.

However, Yoona still met IU in the hotel lobby. The two passed by each other, and Yoona said that Wang Quan smelled of her perfume.

Yoona was quite open-minded. If there were more IUs like this, maybe Oppa would come to Seoul often in the future. At this moment, she even had a bold idea.

Later, Son Ye-jin also came. The little episode with IU did not affect Wang Quan's fighting power at all.

The next day, he participated in the promotion of the movie in high spirits.

When the second week ended, Wang Quan saw that the North American box office of "Justice League" was only 92 million US dollars in the first week, and the reputation collapsed across the board. IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, Mailbox, and even Douban could not praise it.

This result is far worse than "Wonder Woman", which shocked a lot of DC fans and made a lot of Marvel fans happy.

Justice League? Beat the Avengers? That's it? !

Let's beat Thor 3 first!

Thor 3's global box office is now close to 800 million dollars, while Justice League's 700 million is not enough.

Domestic netizens are all feeling sorry for Gadot. Maybe the failure of Justice League will affect the sequel of Wonder Woman.

When Wang Quan was in Korea, he called her and told her, "The sequel of Wonder Woman must be taken seriously. The script cannot be vague. You are now an international first-line star. You must insist on the script. I am not afraid that DC will not make a sequel, but I am afraid that they will rush to launch the sequel of Wonder Woman in order to get rid of the negative impact of the Justice League as soon as possible."

Gadot smiled and said, "Then you can help me check the script."

"Okay." Wang Quan agreed immediately. What does Gadot know about scripts? He must let him watch it. The original Wonder Woman 1984 is simply garbage among garbage, which ruins the good reputation of the first one.

Just after hanging up the phone, the hotel doorbell rang. Wang Quan didn't look at the peephole, but opened it directly. He didn't know whether it would open Yoona, IU, or Son Ye-jin.

In the end, it opened - Sulli?

Wang Quan had met Choi Sulli once many years ago, when she was still a child.

Now the child is older and has her own ideas.

She claimed that "Sister Yoona asked me to come here."

At this time, Lin Yoona also sent Wang Quan a short message, which meant: Save the child, there are too many people who want to take advantage of her, so she lets you sleep with her and you become her backer, each taking what you need.

Bah, you say it so nicely, but you are just a pimp!

After a little hesitation, Wang Quan made way and said, "Come in."

Just think of it as saving a life. This trip to Japan and South Korea is really busy enough for me. "Japan" is a good deed.

Before being driven crazy by the Korean consortium, Sulli was still quite normal. She was in her twenties and still had a girlish heart, calling Oppa tenderly.

Afterwards, she happily shared with Wang Quan her experience of being selected by NEW Company to star in "Along with the Gods" and working with big stars such as Ha Jung Woo and Cha Tae Hyun. She thought it was Wang Quan's idea.

"This movie will be released next month, right~" Wang Quan asked, grabbing her sharp corners.

"Well, December 20th, it doesn't conflict with "Escape Plan"." Sulli replied.

In the November schedule, there are no blockbusters in either Korean or Hollywood movies. "Easy Journey" occupies an absolute dominant position. Not to mention the number of viewers, at least it is not a problem to be in the top ten of the year. Now it has 5 million viewers, temporarily ranking eighth in the year.

In addition, there are two works of NEW Company, one is "Taxi Driver" with 10 million viewers, and the other is "Crime City" starring Shenma Dongxi, with 6.8 million viewers.

"Easy Journey" is also released by NEW Company in Kimchi Country. This year, it may occupy four seats in the top ten of the year, and it can basically compete with CJ for the position of the leader of Korean entertainment.

When Wang Quan was in Kimchi Country, the news that he and "Easy Journey" were invincible in the global film market was broadcast on the news, and there was also a short interview he filmed before going abroad.

The speech was very formal, which was considered to cooperate with the official to elevate the strategic significance of "culture going overseas".

It is estimated that there will be regular operations such as work seminars later.

However, the entire report took a long time. "Xiaoyaoyou" can be regarded as the biggest achievement of the cultural sector this year. Because of its stronger overseas influence, its status in the official mind is higher than "Wolf Warrior 2".

However, in terms of the impact on the mentality of the Chinese people, "Wolf Warrior 2" is obviously stronger. This movie has reversed the inferiority complex of many Chinese people, and even reached the level of arrogance and conceit.

And from it, popular terms such as "Wolf Warrior PTSD" and "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy" have been derived.

Even though "Xiaoyaoyou" is already the second in film history, it still has not shown its potential in this regard.

Just when Wang Quan returned to China, "Xiaoyaoyou" had surpassed "Tang Detective 2" and jumped to the second in film history in 11 days.

During the Spring Festival, Chen Sicheng: Hehe.

Now, Chen Sicheng: No hehe!

As soon as the plane landed and stopped, Wang Quan received a thank-you call from Zhang Yiming.

With the help of Wang Quan's funds and American connections, ByteDance has just acquired the North American music short video social platform "Musical.ly" for US$1 billion and merged it with Tik Tok.

Musical.ly was founded in 2014. Users can quickly create a 15-second MV by adding music from the music library to their own videos, or choose their favorite popular songs and make music videos by lip-syncing and body movements. The content includes talent shows and funny things.

Musical.ly rose earlier than Kuaishou, not to mention the rising star Douyin, but Douyin's algorithm is still stronger.

The acquisition of Musical.ly is also an important part of Tik Tok's global expansion.

Wang Quan encouraged Zhang Yiming a few words, but seeing how excited he was, Wang Quan couldn't help but pour cold water on him.

"Don't think that the US market is really fair and just. They may not tolerate a Chinese software being popular in their market."

"I understand, just like we can't let the US Internet giants easily enter our market, the ideological war has never ended, but has become more serious." Zhang Yiming was unexpectedly calm.

Wang Quan asked him: "Have you thought about the worst consequences?"

"I have thought about it. If I can't do it, I will sell it. It will make the United States afraid, so it must be worth a lot. I may be unwilling to sell it to others, but I can sell it to you."

Even if Wang Quan is the majority shareholder, he is also the best candidate to take over.

Zhang Yiming can be so clear-headed, which makes Wang Quan more looking forward to the future of ByteDance and the future of the two Douyins in China and abroad.

After Wang Quan came back, he asked Xue Fu to find a place for Shirley to live.

This crazy girl said that she would come to Beijing with him no matter what. She has successfully redeemed herself and is now a free person, but she prefers to be Wang Quan's little MG.

She pestered Wang Quan all the way on the plane.

Xue Fu said: "Since we are so destined to be together and all have the same name, let her live with me for a while."

Wang Quan agreed and advised Shirley: "You can move freely during your time in China, travel and see the world. You have lived too unfreely in the past years. Now no one can restrict you."

Wang Quan's plane had to continue flying, and he didn't even get off the plane. He picked up Yu Feihong, Wan Qian and others and flew to Taibei to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards.

Participating in the Golden Horse Awards was not Wang Quan's main purpose. He was mainly to promote "Happy Journey" which was released in Taiwan and to present the Best Picture Award.

The good days of the Golden Horse Awards are numbered, and this is the last time Wang Quan has the opportunity to use the influence of the Golden Horse Awards.

Although mainland films need to draw lots to select ten films to be released in Taiwan every year, many of Wang Dao's films are labeled as Golden Harvest productions, and they avoid the lottery rules as semi-Hong Kong films.

In the past, the Hong Kong film identity was mainly used to compete for the Golden Image Awards. Now that the Golden Image Awards are in that state, no one cares about them anymore. Wang Quan prefers the convenience of entering the Taiwan market.

Oh no, Yang Mi is still very rare. She has always wanted to have a chance to challenge for the Best Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards and become the Best Actress at the three Golden Horse Awards.

Wang Quan looked at Wan Qian and then at Lan Xiya. It was hard to say who would win this year.

But congratulations to Wan Qian, who was nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at the same time. His way of congratulations was to accompany her to the bathroom.

When Wang Quan and his team flew to Taiwan, the new films of this week had already achieved results.

There were only two new films this week, one of which was "Coco" which was released in North America at the same time as "Dragon Heads Up". The box office on the first day was only 12 million, which was garbage among garbage.

Director Wu Yusen performed better. He remade the classic Neon film "The Chase" and got 28 million box office on the first day. It is better than the garbage among the garbage, which can be said to be "garbage".

And this pile of garbage has a Maoyan score of less than 8 points. In the past, the media was keen to compare him with Wang Quan. After all, both of them were rare directors who could achieve success in Hollywood. They were also the only two Chinese directors who left their handprints on the Avenue of Stars. Li An did not have it.

But now no one pays attention to him. The Chase was suppressed by "Happy Journey" in its third week of release and has no sense of existence.

On the contrary, "Coco", which performed worse, had a Maoyan score of 9.6, which was the same as "Happy Journey" and was second only to "Wolf Warrior 2" (9.7 points).

It seems that there is still hope.

Just when Wang Quan and Sister Zhiling, the host of tonight's Golden Horse Awards, were rehearsing in the hotel bathroom, Wangdao Company received good news again.

One is that "Happy Journey" has broken 4 billion!

It took 14 days, one day faster than "Wolf Warrior 2".

Second, the annual box office in the mainland officially exceeded 70 billion, which is far ahead of the North American market.

Since relatively accurate box office statistics have been available, the mainland will replace Hollywood as the world's largest film market.

This news also reached Taiwan and everyone who came to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

Some Taiwanese filmmakers were sour after hearing this, complaining that mainland films are not pure and that filming is not free.

And some smart Chinese filmmakers in Malaysia, Singapore and other places have cleverly contacted Wang Quan through Chen Zhengdao, and they also want to develop in the mainland.

For example, Ke Wenli, Chen Zheyi, etc.

Compared with the local market where you may not be able to make a profit by making a movie, China, where you can make a movie with hundreds of millions of yuan, is simply a paradise!

Wang Quan told Chen Zhengdao to let them go directly to the company and submit the script themselves. Those with clear logic will stay, and those who are happy will get out.

"Also, the Korean version of Along with the Gods will be released next month, what about yours?"

Chen Zheng said: "This time next year."

"Wait for your good news."

That night was the Golden Horse Night.

Neither Wan Qian nor Lan Xiya won the Best Actress Award. The Best Actress Award went to Kara Hui, who is getting more and more charming with age, for her award-winning work Bold, Corrupt, and Beautiful.

Wan Qian also didn't win the Best Supporting Actress Award. The Best Supporting Actress Award went to Wen Qi from Bold, Corrupt, and Beautiful.

Wan Qian looked at Lan Xiya and then at Wen Qi, and always felt that the two people looked a bit alike.

Oh, Lan Xiya won the Best Newcomer Award, so it was not in vain.

The Best Actor Award went to "Zuo Lengchan" teacher Tu Men, and Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Peng Yuchang, and Tian Zhuangzhuang were unfortunately runners-up.

Peng Yuchang felt that being nominated was a victory, and he was already very satisfied, but Xu Zheng was very uncomfortable and vowed to win the Best Actor Award next time.

What made Wang Quan most pleased was that the Best Director Award went to Sister Fei Hong, one in Venice and one in the Golden Horse Awards, both for Best Director.

Finally, Wang Quan took the stage and awarded the Best Film to Lao Wang's "An Elephant Sitting Still".

After finishing the work, I went back to the hotel to sleep. Lin Zhiling said she wanted to introduce Zhang Junning to me...
