You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 680 ① The sisters who live in Fuchun Mountain ② The sisters who go to the theater ③ Popular and professional ④ The strongest Spring Festival show in history

"Explosion! "Xiaoyaoyou2" exceeded 1 billion in a single day! Unprecedented! It is unprecedented!"

This news broke out and disturbed the heartstrings of countless filmmakers.

Although there are now more than ten or twenty billion-level movies every year, most directors are still struggling to make hundreds of millions.

Moreover, director Wang Quan’s film exceeded one billion in just one day. This is not only the excellence of his work, but also the maturity of his personal brand. Most viewers don’t need to wait for word-of-mouth, and Wang Quan’s movies can be made without overthinking.

He never disappoints in movies.

Others converted 841 million into U.S. dollars and finally concluded that the first-day box office of "Escape 2" in the mainland exceeded the first-day box office of "The Force Awakens" in North America, setting the latest single-day box office record in a single market!

As a result, the Chinese people were inspired again. Now the patriotic enthusiasm is high. Chaoying is no longer a problem. They all want to catch up with the United States.

Wang Quan thought it was just okay. It wasn't as good as the performance of "Tang Detective 3" during the Spring Festival. They didn't have midnight screenings and had fewer films than him, so it still broke one billion.

However, due to his influence, "Tang Detective 3" was completed a year ahead of schedule and is about to compete in the 2019 Spring Festival. I don't know what impact its release two years in advance will have on the box office of this movie after the script has been optimized.

At this time, Chaoyue had woken up. She asked about the box office of "Xiaoyaoyou 2". Wang Quan replied 1 billion. Chaoyue said, "If you take less, one billion, isn't that double the previous movie?" Then it won’t exceed 10 billion in the end!”

Wang Quan caressed her little head, "What are you thinking? A high box office on the first day is a normal phenomenon for sequels of a series of movies. Coupled with the excellent quality of the previous works, the series of movies at this time already have some idol attributes, just like you. A top idol with many fans can create a huge momentum in the early stage.”

"It shouldn't be a problem to surpass "Wolf Warrior 2"." Although Chaoyue also likes Brother Jing, she likes Director Quan even more. She can't stand others riding on his head.

I’m really not sure about this kingship. Even the data given by Maoyan based on the big data model is only 750 million on the first day, with a total box office of 5.56 billion, which is lower than "Wolf Warrior 2". However, now that the first day box office has exceeded expectations, adjustments should be made. Bar.

He clicked on Maoyan's box office forecast, and sure enough, the box office forecast had been updated. At this time, the forecast for "Xiao Yao You 2" had been raised to 5.7 billion! A new record in film history!

The whole network was excited, including Wu Jing who was very happy to see the online predictions about the box office of "Xiao Yao You 2".

New records are constantly being released, proving that Chinese-language films and the Chinese-language film market are still making progress. If a certain film holds the number one position for a long time, it may be the time when the market begins to enter a bottleneck.

At this moment, Wu Jing temporarily put down the filming of "The Climber" in Beijing, and rushed to Foshan with a frosty face to attend the commendation ceremony of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award.

His face was still a little chapped after having just climbed Mount Everest, but he felt like a new person and his mental state suddenly became brighter. He strongly suggested that Director Quan also go to the summit.

Wang Quan will also go to Foshan later, and the promotion responsibility in the magic city will be temporarily taken over by Damimi, because "Xiaoyaoyou" is also shortlisted, and this is also a good opportunity to promote the second part.

And his assistant Ma Fanshu had already gone there first, because Wang Quan took over the job for her and served as the host of the Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony. After all, she was the host, and Wang Quan also wanted to be the host.

Not only she, but also Lin Zhiling and Jiang Shuying are the hosts this year, as well as Lan Yu from the Movie Channel and Zhou Tao from CCTV. With a total of five female hosts, Wang Quan can sleep half as much.

But now, seeing Dudu open his eyes, there is no way to escape this sleep.

The next day, Saturday, Wang Quan and Mimi bumped into each other and then parted ways. She took Dudu to continue her promotional tour, while Wang Quan flew to Foshan and met Sissi at the airport.

Sissi was nominated for the Hundred Flowers list for both "July and Ansheng" and "Happy Journey". She has already won the Best Actress of Hundred Flowers, so she is not very interested in winning the award this time. She mainly cooperates as the heroine in the first film. King Quan promotes "Escape 2".

Finding a place where no one could see it, Wang Quan hugged Qianqian and gnawed on it again and again. They hadn't seen each other for several days.

After the two of them had calmed down, Liu Yifei asked about the new script again.

"I have already written 50,000 words. Not only do I have to write the script, but I also have to help the troupe write the Yue Opera script. It's really hard work."

"I'm afraid the hardest part is not writing the notebook," Liu Yifei glanced at Sun Yining behind Wang Quan, "Why don't you see Assistant Ma?"

"Oh, she is the host tonight. She came yesterday."

"Isn't she a sports host?"

"Hosting is her professional skill. She used to host sports programs just because she had such an opportunity, and she did not only host sports. Now she is asked to host the movie awards ceremony, and maybe she can also host the Spring Festival Gala in the future."

Liu Yifei complained in a low voice: "Hosting the Spring Festival Gala is not a shameful thing." Nowadays, people like her grandma from the Northeast don't like to watch that stuff anymore, it's so annoying.

Then several people went to the hotel, took a short rest, and then went to the award venue, Foshan International Sports and Culture Performing Arts Center.

The five hosts were ready backstage. Lin Zhiling and Jiang Shuying were already old acquaintances, but they were relatively new to Ma Fanshu, but Wang Quan had already informed them, so the two took good care of Xiao Ma.

Ma Fanshu also expressed her admiration for the two seniors, praising Lin Zhiling's investment in the mainland blockbuster "Along with the Gods" this year, and claimed to be a loyal user of Jiang Shuying's "Chaying on the River".

Of course, she did not forget to greet Lan Yu and Zhou Tao, especially Zhou Tao, who is the top female host in China and her ultimate goal!

The two did not take advantage of her identity as Wang Quan's new assistant, and the atmosphere backstage was very harmonious.

It was Jiang Shuying who peeked at the guests seated in the audience from the side from time to time, trying to find Wang Quan's figure. She hadn't danced under Director Quan for a long time.

In order to write the script, Wang Quan almost disappeared from the public for two months. Now he is out, and he is a hot spot wherever he goes, especially the box office of "Happy Journey 2" exceeded 1 billion on the first day. This unprecedented achievement really shocked people in and outside the industry. Reporters wanted to ask him how he felt now.

"Just keep a normal mind. This is the inevitable result of market development. I just happened to launch a pretty good commercial film when the market matured." Wang Quan said modestly.

"Do you think the box office of this movie can exceed "Wolf Warrior 2"?" the reporter asked again.

Wang Quan looked at Wu Jing beside him: "Just ask him in front of him. Are you usually so brave?"

Wu Jing, with a beard on his face, laughed and walked over with his shoulder hooked on Wang Quan.

Tian Xiwei, who was behind, saw Wang Quan's figure flash by. Before she could say hello, she saw Dilireba also came on stage. The dress was very beautiful. She deserved to be the current number one sister in the company!

This year's Hundred Flowers Awards selected movies from the second half of 2016 to the first half of 2018. Tian Xiwei was shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award with "Flash Girl".

Dilireba failed to stand out and enter the five-person candidate list, but she was still the award presenter today and presented the award to the Best Newcomer.

The rules of the Hundred Flowers Awards are that 101 public judges invited to the scene will vote on the spot, score on the spot, and award on the spot.

And the first award is the Best Newcomer. Tian Xiwei's heart is in her throat. If she wins, Director Quan should look at her more.

The result is so miserable. She is the last one. Did Sister Mi not recharge me!

Shang Yuxian of "Detective Chinatown 2" is slightly higher than her. The final winner is Lan Xiya of "Carnival", who swept the best newcomer in major award seasons. She was also nominated for the Golden Horse Film Queen.

However, she was almost surpassed by Wang Quan, who was also nominated for the Best Newcomer and ranked second in the vote. Fortunately, the public judges did not mess up, otherwise Wang Quan, an amateur actor, would be embarrassed.

Then the Best Supporting Actor was won by Mr. You Benchang ("Xiaoyaoyou"), and he was also nominated for the Best Actor for "A Man's Zoo" directed by Zhang Yimou.

The best supporting actress award went to Jiang Luxia from Operation Red Sea, who is known for her action-oriented female star style.

Five people were nominated for the best director award, including Wang Quan, Wu Jing, Lin Chaoxian, Zhang Jingchu, and Chen Sicheng. They all had hit works. In the end, Zhang Jingchu won the Hundred Flowers Best Director Award for July and Ansheng, which had the lowest box office among the five works.

She was not very lucky in the awards. The Peacock, Red River, Bride with Flower Waist, Earthquake, and Disciple were all well-known works, and her performance was even better. Unfortunately, she was nominated for many awards, but she didn't win any major awards.

Now she has changed her career to directing. July and Ansheng is a good start. Next, she will direct and act in Fragrant Osmanthus, and this year she starred in the Hong Kong film Wushuang, which also achieved an excellent box office of nearly 1.3 billion.

After meeting Wang Quan, her career finally began to rise against the trend and soared to the sky!

Zhang Jingchu looked at Lin Zhiling on the host seat and prepared to let Wang Quan enjoy the charm of the Fuchun Mountain Residence sisters in the evening.

But at this moment, Dilireba was also making eye contact with Wang Quan. They had just been together, and they were in love and couldn't stop, not to mention the three hosts on the stage.

Of course, there was also Liu Yifei, the actress nominee who wanted to reward her.

She and Mimi were both nominated for "July and Ansheng". Other nominees included Li Wei from "The Founding of an Army", Chen Jin from "Shibadong Village", and Xin Zhilei from "Operation Red Sea".

Except for "July and Ansheng", the other three are mainstream works.

If it was really a public vote, the two heroines of "Shibadong Village", which had almost no entry into the mainstream theaters, and "The Founding of an Army", which failed in both word-of-mouth and box office, would never have been nominated. It can be seen that the public Hundred Flowers Awards are not necessarily decided by the public now.

And it's amazing that the final winner is Teacher Chen Jin. Teacher Chen's acting skills must be impeccable. She just played Zhang Jingchu's mother in "All Is Well", but Wang Quan doubted that these public judges at the scene had never seen "Shibadong Village".

But because this is a movie about poverty alleviation, which is a national event, it passed all the way until it won the award.

Jiang Wen, the best actor, also received a nomination. He and Zhou Yun flew from Shanghai on Wang Quan's plane.

According to Jiang Wen, his new film "Evil Never Dies" wants to enter the Spring Festival period and is looking for a distributor.

It would be best if it can be released with a guaranteed minimum of 1 billion or 2 billion, which is safe.

Maoyan wants to take it and make a double hit during the Spring Festival period. After asking Wang Quan for instructions, Wang Quan said: Make your own decision after watching the feature film, I won't get involved.

After all, he doesn't know whether "Evil Never Dies" shot by Jiang Wen, who has experienced the "Xiao Yao You" trilogy, will be better. Anyway, his fame and box office appeal have risen by more than one level.

Zhu Yawen, the leading actor of "The Righteous One", was also shortlisted for Best Actor for "The Founding of an Army".

In addition, there are Zhang Yi from "Operation Red Sea" and Wu Jing from "Wolf Warrior 2". The two are also good friends in "The Climber". Zhang Yi has more scenes than Yang Mi.

There is also "One Man's Zoo" You Benshang on the shortlist.

The final winner was Leng Feng for "Wolf Warrior 2".

The last prize for best feature film was given to "Operation Red Sea", and the second prize for outstanding feature film was given to "The Founding of the Army". This Hundred Flowers Award feels like a preview of next month's Huabiao Awards, which is called a red. Also specialized.

Wang Quan was not surprised at all by this result, and then he had to participate in an exclusive interview for "Xiaoyaoyou" with him, Jiang Wen, and Xixi arranged by a movie channel.

As for sleeping, why should I sleep? Wang Quan took Jiang Wen to Yangcheng that day, preparing to start a road show from south to north.

Although they did not stay overnight in Foshan, there were still women who followed Wang Quan to Yangcheng.

Wang Quan's hotel in Yangcheng not only completed the achievements of the sisters in Fuchun Mountain Residence, but also made the two senior sisters Reba and Jiang Shuying familiar with each other.

Jiang Shuying also generously invited Reba to invest in his own milk tea brand, "When it goes public in the future, let's ring the bell together."

Reba giggled: "Ah, really!"

"Of course, but the price of the shares will definitely be higher than those of Nazha and the other original shareholders~"

Reba is not hehe, why does he feel like he is cutting his own leeks?

Now Jiang Jiang still looks like a strong woman with ideas in business, and she also has a different kind of demeanor under Wang Quan.

Wang Quan asked her with a smile: "Does that mean you will stop filming at all from now on?"

Jiang Shuying thought for a while and shook his head: "If there is a suitable one, I will still be willing to film. After all, popularity nourishes people. As long as I am still in this industry, my requirements for my face and figure will always be at the highest standard."

Lin Zhiling and Zhang Jingchu, two people who have gradually retreated behind the scenes, also felt that it made sense, so even if they now have a more suitable position, they cannot completely give up their job as actors.

But it’s really not easy to go further. After all, Xianmi and Ni Ni who were born in 1985, and Nazha and Reba who were born in 90 are all too strong.

Let's just talk about Reba. She is still the heroine in "Mermaid 2", and she also has to hit the Spring Festival movie. This adds up to a tens of billions of actresses.

"Reba, "Mermaid 2" will be released during the Spring Festival next year, right?" Wang Quan also confirmed.

The original project was in trouble. In order to fulfill some contracts, Zhou Xingchi hastily produced "The New King of Comedy", which completely ruined his reputation.

She said: "Yes, Mr. Xing has finished the post-production and is looking for a distributor. He said he is looking for a higher guaranteed distribution."

Wang Quan: Hey, how can you behave like Jiang Wen?

Nowadays, making money in the film industry feels too easy, so famous directors such as Jiang Wen and Zhou Xingchi are so popular that the guaranteed release model has become their standard.

In this way, the issuer may make more money, but they will definitely not lose money.

Ning Hao's new film "Crazy Alien", which is also scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival next year, will also cooperate with other companies in a guaranteed distribution model.

It was Wang Baoqiang’s Horgosile Flower Company that won the distribution rights of this film at a high price, with a guaranteed base price of an astonishing 2.8 billion!

In other words, even if the movie box office does not reach 2.8 billion, Lehua Company will still distribute the money to Ning Hao according to the 2.8 billion box office.

Of course, the portion exceeding 2.8 billion will also have to be divided, but the proportion will be more favorable to the issuer.

So in the final analysis, it is still a bet on whether this film can be a hit.

However, "Zhu Xian 3", "Tang Detective 3", "Crazy Alien", "Mermaid 2", "Evil", and the unbeatable "Bear Bears", and I am not sure whether I want to join in the fun. 's "Flying Life".

Hey, this Spring Festival stall seems to be terrible!

Fortunately, I don't have to join in the fun, otherwise it wouldn't look good whether I win or lose.

On the second day after its release, "Xiao Yao You 2", although not as good as the first day, still made 788 million, and the two-day box office reached the top ten of the year!

When Jiang Wen saw this figure, he pinched Yahuazi and said, "I don't ask too much. I will be satisfied if the total box office of "The Evil Is Not Suppressing the Right" can match the box office of "You 2" in two days."

"Then you give Maoyan a guaranteed issuance price of 2 billion."

Jiang Wen said aggrievedly: "It's not the price I offered, it's the price raised by the bosses. Everyone thinks it's worth the price. What can I say."

The cost of "The Righteous One" is about 350 million. Even though it is just a film of the Republic of China, Jiang Wen strives for excellence. The cost of setting, costumes, etc. is very high. He also hired Hollywood celebrities. The shooting equipment is also in line with international standards. What is expensive? What.

Although "One Step Away" failed, "Happy Journey" is getting better, and capital still loves Lao Jiang.

But even so, 1 billion at the box office can make back the original investment, and the asking price is 2 billion guaranteed, and there is no need to invest in publicity expenses. This is because the investors behind it want 100% direct profit.

As for whether Maoyan will finally accept the guaranteed issuance of 2 billion, Wang Quan still has not commented. Even if he loses and pays hundreds of millions, it can be regarded as a reminder. Don't trust big names easily.

Maoyan is also on the market this year, and it is an industry giant with a market value of more than 20 billion. We can no longer let ourselves make all decisions.

On the third day, Sunday, which was also the Double Eleven Day, the single-day box office of "Happy Journey 2" fell to 605 million yuan. Even so, this is still the third highest single-day box office record in the mainland.

Three days + midnight show, "Happy Journey 2" has a total box office of 2.399 billion yuan, temporarily ranking sixth in the year, surpassing "Avengers 3" which was previously ranked sixth.

In other words, this movie beat "Avengers 3" in three days.

At the same time, overseas countries also reported back the news of the box office explosion of "Happy Journey 2", and the previous records of Chinese-language films achieved by "Happy Journey" were replaced by this sequel.

Wang Quan took the route from Shenzhen to Hong Kong to attend Mr. Zou Wenhuai's memorial service...
