You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 709: The new movie starts filming, but the old horse stumbles. The new king has ascended the throne, which is new~

Wang Quan: "Xiaotian, where are you?"

"Magic City."

Wang Quan: "Go back to Beijing."

"What, you missed me?"

Wang Quan: "I need to use you."

"Use me for a moment, what do you think I am? That cup on the plane, do you understand that this is called objectifying women~" Xiaotian said with a smile. After being in charge of Xiaohongshu for so many years, she used to play with those female boxing terms. Call a slip.

"Then do you want me to use it~"

"Wait a minute, I'll book the tickets now." Xiaotian said enthusiastically.

Xiaotian returned to the capital the next day, and after a lot of thunder and fire, she realized why Wang Quan had asked her to come back. It turned out that there was really something serious.

He asked himself to accompany him back to his alma mater. Of course, it was Xiaotian's alma mater - Qinghua.

Wang Quan wanted Xiaotian to accompany him to find someone, a Qinghua Level 17 precision instrument student named Pang Zhongwang.

This young man was the top scorer in science in the college entrance examination in CZ City, Hebei Province in 2017.

Some media say that he is the provincial champion, but this is actually a false rumor. Today's media are mixed, and too many of them are unreliable.

His college entrance examination score was 684 points. Because he participated in Qinghua's rural special plan, Qinghua gave him a 60-point admission policy.

Of course, it can also be understood as adding 60 points to the original basis, which is the same as adding 20 points for independent enrollment (strong base plan).

Therefore, a score of 744 was reported, but this score was only for Qinghua University, and did not count as college entrance examination results, nor did it participate in the provincial rankings.

But whether he scored 684 points or 744 points, people across the country basically had no objection to the 60 points he added, and some just felt sorry and admired him.

After all, he can go to top schools without extra points due to his strength, and his personal experience is legendary.

Xiao Pang is a son of a peasant family. His mother was born with spina bifida and her lower limbs were atrophied. She could only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

The elderly grandmother and grandfather were worried that no one would take care of their daughter after their death, so they had no choice but to reluctantly marry their daughter to a mentally ill man.

The union of two people who are incompatible with each other will probably give birth to a child that will not go well. Pang Zhongwang's life was hanging by a thread when he was a child because of congenital heart disease. It was his mother who rocked a wheelchair who borrowed money from each family to survive. killed the child.

After simply listening to Wang Quan talk about part of this junior's experience, Xiaotian was so ashamed that he couldn't even lift his head.

I am also a Qinghua student, and I just did aerobics and got in, while some people have so many debuffs that I don’t know what kind of hard work they have to go through to get into Tsinghua University.

She whispered: "After your movie comes out, I will definitely be scolded as a negative example again."

Wang Quan smiled and stroked her head: "Then do I want to take pictures?"

"I still have to shoot it. This story has moved me with just a few sentences. I can't imagine how classic and beautiful it will be when shot through your lens." Xiaotian thought to himself, just get scolded if you get scolded. You can't Why don't you let people say a few words if you get the advantage?

Then they found the person involved, Pang Zhongwang, but Wang Quan noticed the black embroidered scarf on his arm.

Not long ago, Pang Zhongwang's mother, who was judged by doctors not to live past 20 years old, passed away and lived to be 50 years old.

So Wang Quan saw the sadness hidden under the calmness on this face that looked like Guo Jingjing.

Because of this, in the conversation with Wang Quan, what he talked about most was not how hard it was for him to study, but his mother, who was physically disabled but strong-willed, optimistic and strong, how she encouraged him to make progress in studying despite such difficulties, and their daily interactions with each other.

His description gave birth to a vivid image of a Chinese mother in Wang Quan's heart.

However, Wang Quan will not change his creative direction so easily to the love between mother and son. He will still shoot group portraits of the lower class people for the college entrance examination, and the male protagonist based on Pang Zhongwang will not be the only protagonist.

But he and his family will definitely be a part of it.

Wang Quan obtained the authorization from Pang Zhongwang and paid an authorization fee, which he insisted on paying.

After his mother passed away, he lost part of his financial resources. He still had elderly grandparents to support, and a mentally unstable father. Even if the tuition and fees for school were free, he still needed money for other aspects.

This money has solved his urgent need and allowed him to focus more on his studies. He plans to complete his undergraduate and master's degree in four years and take the Ph.D. examination next year.

After that, Wang Quan continued to keep in touch with Pang Zhongwang, and would consult him on some details when writing the script.

Pang Zhongwang, who had received the money, was also very responsible and answered all questions, including some difficult-to-discuss topics regarding adolescent sexual psychology.

The two soon became friends. Later, when he got his first girlfriend, he told Wang Quan, an experienced relationship expert, and asked him for advice.

While Wang Quan was immersed in writing the script, the Hundred Flowers Award was also held in Henan Province.

In addition to people from the movie channel, the hosts this year also include Ma Fanshu and Tong Yaya.

It was the first time for Yaya to serve as the host of such a formal occasion, and Ma Fanshu was responsible for conveying the message.

In fact, Ma Fanshu felt unhappy because she understood that Yaya was preparing to host the Spring Festival Gala later. Huh, I was obviously the one who was optimistic about this track first!

However, Yaya has ethnic minority buffs, and with the help of Wang Quan, it will not be difficult for her to get on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

This time the Hundred Flowers Awards are still the same, starting low-key amid controversy and ending low-key.

The Best Film went to "My People, My Country", which was not even nominated for the Golden Bamboo Awards.

The Best Director went to Guo Fan of "The Wandering Earth", who has been very popular recently.

The Best Actor went to Huang Xiaoming, the male lead of "Heroes of Fire", which shocked many people.

The Best Actress went to Zhou Yiran of "Better Days".

At the beginning of the year, Li Bingbing won the Golden Bamboo Award for Best Actress, and she also won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress. Naturally, she had to work hard to win honors for her subordinates. With the success of "Better Days", the young Zhou Yiran received less criticism than Huang Xiaoming for winning the award.

Moreover, Wang Quan was also preparing to invite Zhou Yiran to play a role in his movie.

There are 40 or 50 people in a class. Even if half of the students are professional actors, it is still a large number. Even if there are not many roles, no young people can refuse.

However, Wang Quan has not yet decided on the male lead Wang Zhongfang.

That day, he was watching TV with Xixi and his daughter, while Yang Mi was looking after his son upstairs. A drama called "In the Name of Family" was being played on TV, which was being followed by Liu Yifei and Xiao Xianmi.

Wang Quan sighed: "How old is Tan Songyun? She still looks good in high school. She is born with a baby face."

"Yes, she looks like she is already 30 years old."

"This male lead's acting skills are really dull. He relies entirely on his face to make a living." Wang Quan complained about the male lead Song Weilong again, but when he saw the male No. 2 Zhang Xincheng, Wang Quan's eyes lit up.

He remembered that this student from the Central Academy of Drama was once known as the "Spring Festival Movie Theater Special Forces". He should have graduated for several years, but he still had a baby face.

This kind of appearance will inevitably limit some acting options, but it is not out of place to play a high school student.

And this kid, like Zhao Jinmai, is a top student among art exam candidates. Wang Quan secretly memorized his name.

After that, Wang Quan began to confirm the actors while perfecting the script. He booked many actors around 2000.

Central Academy of Drama.

Zhao Jinmai was a little panicked. She recently heard a rumor that the heroine of Wang Quan's new film was contacting senior sister Hu Lianxin, who was a junior at the Central Academy of Drama.

Senior sister Hu had previously participated in the casting of "Xiao Yao You" and had known Wang Quan for a long time. Now she has joined Mi Shi, and she is even closer to the water.

But soon she got news from Zhang Zifeng, "Why did I hear that our senior sister Zhuang Dafei from Beijing Film Academy was invited by Director Wang Quan, and it seems that they talked about the new film."

Later, there were rumors on the Internet that Yang Chaoyue, who is now being promoted by Mi Shi, is expected to star in Wang Quan's new film.

In short, what Wang Quan's new film will be shot has not been announced yet, but several candidates for the heroine have been announced.

So during the National Day holiday, Zhao Jinmai plucked up the courage to send a message to Wang Quan, asking him where he was.

Wang Quan took a long time to reply: "What's the matter?"

At this time, he was hugging the heroine of "On the Cliff", the young girl Ye Wenjie, on the bed. The two met because of the kissing scene when they were filming "The Three-Body Problem 1", which led to her rapid rise.

Zhao Jinmai said: "I want to recommend myself to star in your new film."

Wang Quan: "Oh, you don't even know if there is a heroine in my new film, so you have to recommend yourself?"

"Whether there is a heroine or not, I don't care about the small role. I just want to have the opportunity to work with the greatest director on earth." Zhao Jinmai's ears became hot after he said that.

At this time, Wang Quan suddenly caught the key point. He lowered his head and smiled slightly, and replied to Zhao Jinmai: "I am very happy that you are motivated. Wait for the audition notice."

"Beep~" Listening to the voice on the phone, Zhao Jinmai was a little unsure. Director Wang Quan asked him to wait for the audition notice. Is this a success?

Or does he only look at whether the audition result is suitable?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Jinmai was ashamed of his dirty thoughts just now.

After hanging up the phone, the girl under Wang Quan raised her head, revealing her pure and lustful face, "Cunzi, why do you want this role too?"

She shook her head: "I want it if my master gives it to me, and I won't snatch it if my master doesn't give it to me."

Wang Quan praised: "You are so good."

After that, they took a look at the box office situation of the day on Maoyan, and Cunzi sighed: "Changjin Lake is so amazing, we have fallen behind."

This year's National Day file also has three movies, namely Qiankun \u0026 Wang Dao's Changjin Lake.

Jingxi Culture's "My Hometown and Me", this time the chief director was changed to Ning Hao.

Dongfang Yihe (Zhang Yimou's company) \u0026 Wang Dao's "On the Cliff", directed by Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo.

However, in front of "Changjin Lake", these two movies are a bit not good enough. On the last day before the holiday, "Changjin Lake" had a single-day box office of 200 million, the first day of the holiday broke 400 million, and the second day of the holiday broke 500 million, one day higher than the day.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The country's support in this regard is unprecedented. Maoyan predicts that the final box office of the film has reached more than 5 billion yuan.

"My Hometown and Me" also has more than 200 million box office revenue every day, which seems to be more marketable than "My People, My Country" led by Bona.

Only "On the Cliff" has less than 100 million yuan in a single day.

But considering the director's appeal and the cast, the current cumulative performance of "On the Cliff" of 200 million yuan is already an outstanding performance. Lao Mouzi served as the producer of the film this time, almost teaching his daughter to make a movie, and the quality is still not bad.

And this time and space existence did not become a factor in driving away customers. In this life, because of the butterfly effect, her mother did not open a dance training class at all, and no little girl was injured.

This year, there is no big three like last year's National Day. The pattern of "Changjin Lake" being the only one has been formed, and it is expected to hit the second place in film history.

As the leading male and one of the directors of this film, Wu Jing has once again become a popular figure at home and abroad. He is the first star in China and the second director.

After all, Wang Quan is a pure director. If it were not for the love-hate entanglement between him and many top female stars, Wu Jing's popularity in China would have surpassed him as the first director in this world.

Anyway, Cheng Long has to call Wu Jing "Brother Jing" when he sees him now. He has been mixed up all his life, but the total box office is not as good as four movies of others.

And the second male lead Fan Chengcheng also directly ascended, and the beautiful fat ice came to the door for service, and brought a few of his own employees.

In addition, she also wanted to ask Wang Quan, "Does your new film need Ye Zi and Chu Ran? Just say a word and I will ask them to stop what they are doing."

Wang Quan nodded: "You don't need me to say that, but my film is more realistic, and I need to appear without makeup."

Hearing this, Zhou Ye was not afraid at all, but Wang Chu Ran felt that his temperament was too mature, so he did not get involved.

Fat Bing said again: "Do you need a female teacher role? I can do it."

Wang Quan slapped the fleshy part: "If you become a teacher, can students still concentrate on their studies?"

~

After 20 days of release, "Changjin Lake" officially exceeded 5 billion, becoming the sixth film in the mainland to achieve this result, and also Wu Jing's second 5 billion-level film.

Since then, he has two films with more than 5 billion, Wang Quan and Jiang Wen have three, and Nezha has one.

But sometimes there are many frustrations when becoming popular, such as the subsequent release of "King Kong River"

This is a mission movie, which started shooting on August 1 and was released on October 23. China Film used three directors, Guan Hu, Guo Fan, and Lu Yang, to shoot a 30-minute plot three times from different angles.

Wu Jing has almost become the spokesperson for mainstream movies. If he was not busy shooting the Sino-US joint venture "The Meg 2" at the time, the male lead of "King Kong River" would also be given to him, and it was finally decided to be Zhang Yi.

Wu Jing also hopes that he can become an international superstar like his elder brother Long and Senior Brother Li, so he has this time to cooperate with Johnson and Li Bingbing in "The Meg 2", which is also his second impact on the Hollywood market after "Pacific Rim 2".

This time it tells the story of Li Bingbing's younger brother Wu Jing and her husband Johnson going to the bottom of the sea to rescue her trapped, and then the three of them bravely fight against the megalodon and the sea monster together.

Because of the addition of Wu Jing, Johnson and Li Bingbing's pay is higher than in previous years, so the cost has increased, and the scenes have increased. It has become a work with a cost of 200 million US dollars, which is a first-line blockbuster even in the United States (the first one was 130 million US dollars).

During the promotion period of "King Kong River", Wu Jing, a supporting role, participated for two days in exchange for one day of rest, and was called by Wang Quan to get together.

Wang Quan asked him seriously: "You haven't been hanging out with Lao Ma recently?"

Wu Jing shook his head, "I didn't hang out with him before, what's wrong with him? He said 996 is a blessing again?"

Wang Quan: "This time it's worse than 996. This guy is so confused even after retirement."

The result is that he has completely lost his voice in the Internet world.

The same voice has been lost to the King of Understanding. In the US election just now, he lost to an Alzheimer's disease.

There have been a lot of excitement to watch recently. Wang Quan has seen enough fun and announced the start of "Small Town Test-taker" in a school decorated as a high school in Hebei Province at the end of November!

Zhang Xincheng was chosen as the male lead of the film. When he signed the contract and got the script, his tears burst out.

The key was that it was too sudden. Although he had auditioned before, he didn't expect that he could really get the male lead!

After all, Liu Haoran, Peng Yuchang and other most popular young male actors also auditioned at the time. Compared with them, he had never acted in a serious movie. He was just a TV drama star who was neither high nor low.

When he signed the contract, he knew that he was the male lead, and his junior Liu Haoran, who went from Beijing Dance Academy to the Central Academy of Drama, was chosen as the male second, and Peng Yuchang was the male Nth.

During the script creation stage, Wang Quan finally decided that the female lead was the head teacher, and the actor he chose was last year's Berlin Film Queen Yongmei, who looked like a middle-aged teacher.

The second female lead is the paralyzed mother of the male lead. Wang Quan finally gave this role to Ren Suxi. Her affair has been exposed. Now society is tolerant of women. It's just an affair. It's just her true nature.

And Wan Qian took away her role of a disabled person, so it's fair for him to give her another disabled person role.

This role requires very high acting skills, and she has to be very, very thin and not too good-looking. Ren Suxi is Wang Quan's first choice.

And he can get a movie interlude with at least 80 points from her.

In addition to these four main roles, there is the class monitor played by Zhao Jinmai.

It's considered the third female lead. It's a lie to say that she is not disappointed. However, after entering the crew and knowing what the first and second female roles are, she has no idea. She is already the first female lead among students. People like Hu Lianxin, Liu Haoqi, Li Gengxi, Zhuang Dafei, Xiang Hanzhi, and Zhang Jingyi are ranked after her. I heard that some of them are background boards and have few lines.

As for Zhou Ye and Yang Chaoyue, their roles are purely cameo appearances, and it is hard to say whether they can keep their scenes.

On the first day of filming, Wu Jing joined the crew to make a cameo appearance. Just like in "Good Teacher", he made a cameo appearance as a physical education teacher, and filmed a day of morning jogging, physical education and other courses.

When he made his first cameo appearance, Wu Jing saw a circle of students on the playground, all holding small notebooks and mumbling, and most of them were wearing glasses.

Of course, that was also part of the performance, and the cameos were all students from this technical secondary school.

Wu Jing couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the atmosphere of high schools in Hebei Province!"

"This is the learning atmosphere of most high schools in China that are unable to provide quality education. Without a good family to support them, they can only work hard to change their fate. Okay, Old Wu, let's start."

Wu Jing's cameo appearance as a physical education teacher, but not other teachers.

Among them, the teachers of Chinese, mathematics and English have the most roles. Yongmei plays the head teacher who is an English teacher, Guo Xiaodong plays the mathematics teacher with a Shandong accent, and Chen Yao plays the young and literary Chinese teacher.

Through the unremitting recommendation of her old classmate Meng Ziyi, this Sichuan and Chongqing girl, whose career was at a standstill, finally got this precious performance opportunity.

Having experienced the rise and fall of popularity, Chen Yao cherishes this hard-won opportunity very much, so she stayed overnight in Director Wang Quan's room not long after joining the crew. She is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Wang Quan added Hu Lianxin and Cun Zi to the crew just to solve the night life. Unexpectedly, the teacher took the initiative before the students made a move. There is no need to worry about night life in the future.

At the end of the month, Wang Quan missed the Golden Rooster Awards because of filming, but Yang Mi attended and presented the award.

She has never won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, but she gave the award to Gao Yuanyuan of "The Manslaughterer 2".

This is another unexpected surprise. Although there are many complaints on the Internet that Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills have not reached the level of winning awards, there are more supporters. After all, there are many people on the Internet who look at faces.

With this face of Da Meiyuan, let alone the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, she can also be the owner of the Earth.

Li Bingbing was very upset about this. He acted so well in "Send Me to the Clouds" and won the Golden Bamboo Award, but he lost in the Golden Rooster Award.

"Bah, the Golden Rooster Award is a fake award!"

"Okay, Sister Bingbing, how about I give you my Golden Rooster to play with?" Facing Li Bingbing's complaints, Gao Yuanyuan was a little helpless. She didn't want to do it.

"What's so fun about your Golden Rooster? If you want to play, just play..." Li Bingbing rolled his eyes, "How about we go to visit that guy and make a surprise attack."

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head: "Don't disturb him when he's working. Even if it can bring him temporary happiness, he must be unhappy in his heart. He regards movies as more important than anything else."

Li Bingbing thought about it, so he gave up.

In December, "Changjin Lake" was released with a box office score of 57.13, surpassing "Wolf Warriors 2" and second only to "Happy Journey 2", ranking third in film history. It was also announced that the simultaneously filmed "Changjin Lake 2: Watergate Bridge" will be released during the National Day holiday next year.

Cunzi also temporarily left the group to promote "Send You a Little Red Flower", and Hu Lianxin had her period, so Chen Yao needed to share more.

Because it was too frequent, Zhao Jinmai and several other girls who lived in the hotel on the same floor had already noticed it.

Zhao Jinmai felt that it must be Sister Chen Yao who took the initiative, otherwise why didn't Director Quan do it to her?

Obviously Director Quan was not the kind of person who used power to oppress others, and did not make any unreasonable demands for giving her such an important role.

However, in the following days, as the three sisters of Sanlitun and Zhang Jingyi successively entered Director Wang Quan's room and did not come out all night, Zhao Jinmai suddenly felt that he was a little out of place?

On the last day of 2020, Wang Quan announced that several young boys and girls could go back to school to prepare for the final exams.

"Wait until the holiday to continue filming your part, I wish you all a new year, a big hit!"

That night Wang Quan told those people not to come, but before midnight, the door was still knocked.

Wang Quan was not surprised to see the newcomer. He smiled and let the somewhat nervous Zhao Jinmai in...
