The Best Director

"Wow, please!"

There is a stylish and luxurious VIP room in the terminal building. The interview of "Entertainment Live" just finished, the middle-aged male photographer turned off the camera, and then a staff member handed Wang Yang a gift, and they walked from the airport together. Shen Xing got up and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, this is a gift from our program team. Welcome to China!"

"Thank you, I like this gift very much." Wang Yang thanked him and accepted the gift with a smile. Wearing a yellow hoop on his head, he recognized it as Monkey King, Monkey King from Journey to the West.

Sure enough, at this time, Shen Xing next to him explained with a smile: "You were born on the year, month, and the zodiac is a monkey according to the traditional net calculation; this is Monkey King, a character in the four famous Chinese novels "Journey to the West", very powerful and amazing , so we will give it to you." Although Wang Yang said that she likes it very much, she still said with a smile on her face: "I hope you like it."

"Thank you! I know Sun Wukong." Wang Yang waved the Ruyi King Kong bang of the stuffed doll, which can't be stretched and stretched at will. He boasted and said with a smile: "I have read "Journey to the West". Book. Among the four great Chinese novels, I have read Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Outlaws of the Marsh, but not A Dream of Red Mansions. I don’t like Jia." "Jia Baobao, np Jia Baoshi..." Jia Baoyù! Like a pussy. "

Listening to his intentionally accentuated Peking dialect accent, Shen Xing looked a little surprised, and was indeed amazed in her heart. As a graduate of the Chinese Department, it is not surprising that she has read the four major classics; Miracle Yang is really a "China hand". . Other photographers and others also laughed, while the assistant Susan Kathy knew Chinese but not classics, and the two burly and tall Israeli bodyguards smiled.

"Oh." Wang Yang realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. This sentence sounded like disdain for women, but it wasn't. He explained his original intention: "There is no other meaning, just a joke. I think that in that era, men and women were affected by the environment, and there were differences in personality, ability, and social roles that could be played. A man should have His responsibility """

He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, rolled his eyes and said, "Quack quack! I'm talking nonsense. I haven't read "Dream of Red Mansions". I just don’t like the Jia Baoyu in my impression.” He said with a serious smile, “Actually, when I read the books of Journey to the West, I compared them with the vernacular version, and I didn’t understand them completely; I will read the original ancient version intensively again. .”

Miracle Yang is really talkative! Shen Xing nodded with a smile, but no matter what he said, she also didn't appreciate Jia Baoyu, she liked strong men. After listening to him, Shen Xing praised: "That's already amazing."

"Ha, it's better to be like this, I'm Brother Dashi!" Wang Yang said with a smile, shook the puppet in his hand, pointed to the diamond hoop, and frowned: "But I don't like it, it's too scary!"

Seeing that he was going to give the Monkey King puppet to his assistant,

Yuan Xing asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang, can we take a photo together?" She wanted to take a photo together not only to satisfy her film mood, but it might also be good for her popularity in the future. Taking a photo with the amazing director is very important. Rare and valuable opportunity.

"pk, yes!" Wang Yang didn't care, and continued to stand solemnly holding the doll, smiling and looking in the direction of the photographer in charge of taking pictures, while Shen Xing stood beside him happily. After snapping a few photos, Wang Yang gave the puppet to Su—McCarthy, shook hands with Shen Xing, and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to be on this show, sister Shen Yu, goodbye." Shen Xing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Goodbye , I wish you a pleasant trip!"

"Goodbye everyone! Shan ugk!" After saying goodbye to the photographers, Wang Yang and his party walked outside the VIP room.

After watching them go away, Shen Xing turned his gaze back to look at a few colleagues. The photographer Lao Chen said, "Hey, Wang Yang has no airs? He's more friendly than Zhang Yimou." The old man who was packing the microphone Li Yingzhu: "Don't tell me, there are so many shows, just follow alone, a star is better than him!" Shen Xing said with emotion in a low voice: "Wow, so handsome!"

Since no movie fans were arranged to pick them up at the airport, and they didn't need to wear sunglasses, Wang Yang and the others left the terminal smoothly and got into the car. I slept well on the plane, Wang Yang didn't feel very tired, so he didn't go back to the Wangfu Hotel where he stayed, but wandered around Lijing Street in Wangfu Mansion to see if he could buy the marriage proposal he had in mind something needed.

"That handsome guy seems to be Wang Yang?", "It's Wang Yang!! Didn't he come to Beijing recently? There are benevolent foreigners following him!", "Wang Yang, Wang Yang..." "Wang Yang arrived in China, Start the China tour activity. "This news has become a hot news on the new 1ang page, and it is also a big headline in the entertainment section. It reported that Wang Yang and his party arrived in Beijing in the morning, but they did not allow the media to pick them up. The same news appeared on other Chinese portals and entertainment websites , There are also various forums, and all websites are running around telling each other, as if aliens have descended.

NetEase: "Magic Yang led a team to China to promote his new work!", Sohu: "Wang Yang launched a China promotion, Natalie and Rachel accompanied him." Yahoo China, Tianya, Xici Hutong "" "Welcome to "Entertainment "Scene", I'm Soni!" On the TV screen where countless movie fans were waiting, the host Chang Soni smiled happily: "Today, a person came to Beijing, and came to China. Every movie he Loved by audiences all over the world, he is the youngest best director in the history of Oscars, he is Miracle Yang, Wang Yang! I will take everyone to see his demeanor immediately, please watch Shen Xingyi’s interview at the airport!"

After a day of shopping in Wangjing Mansion, Wang Yang discovered that men would become as picky as women when it came to buying some extremely important things. But fortunately, he finally bought the items he needed for a marriage proposal.

He also felt the martial arts again Wudong Qiankun will kill the gods and seal the throne at night, seek the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of Zhou, the god-maker The unstoppable enthusiasm, although not as exaggerated as that of Hong Kong, is also almost breathless because it is too crowded! From a few people to Xunyiquan, even the few signatures in both Chinese and English have not been done. If you have a photo with a camera, of course you will be asked to take a group photo. Wang Yang wanted to satisfy all their requests, but it seemed that there was no end to it.

After several rounds, he discovered that the "three foreigners" were the real reason for attracting attention, so he asked the two bodyguards to follow at a distance, and he put on sunglasses, so that no one would recognize him immediately, after all He is not wearing the "I am Wang Yang" shirt.

After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours and then walking around the streets for a day, Wang Yang was naturally quite tired, but his assistant Susan McCarthy received many banquet invitations from the person in charge of Flame Films in Beijing, including directors, celebrities, rich people, agents... ... " ", I have long admired your name! Can we have a meal together? ", "I am your fan, I really hope to know you! ", "My daughter is your shadow mí, let's take this opportunity to get to know each other?" ,,,..."

Wang Yang declined. He prefers private banquets to family banquets. Family members, one or several good friends get together, and Jessica cooks, so he can cook too. The problem is that he doesn’t know those people, and he doesn’t have any now. interested in knowing. However, he accepted to meet with Han Sanping, chairman and general manager of China Film Group, and Han Sanping had already arrived at the hotel before making a phone call in person.

The two met in the quaint living room, and after some polite greetings, Wang Yang started talking with this round-faced middle-aged man wearing glasses and a black suit. Han Sanping himself is also a director, but the two did not discuss how to make a movie, but talked about some flames, China Film Cooperation and the commercial affairs of "S Citing a Horse" this time, and then talked about the topic of the Chinese film market.

"Mr. Wang." Han Sanping looked at the young man in the mahogany chair on the other side of the tea table, who was older than him, almost older than his son, and asked, "What do you think the Chinese market should do to make it big?" What?, although he feels that no one understands the Chinese market better than him, especially a Yankee who has only come to China twice and is young; but the other party is the youngest billionaire, and the flame movie is getting bigger and bigger every year. He remembered that some magazine in the United States commented on this young man as "Silicon Valley lost a pioneer, Wall Street lost a tycoon, and Hollywood gained a magician." He thought it was a bit exaggerated, what do dolls know?

But his achievements are there. When it comes to film business, he has no capital to disdain. He even thinks that Hollywood's production experience is very good, so his words are not completely insincere.

"Well.

"Wang Yang didn't care so much. Thinking about this problem, he raised his teacup and took a sip of Pu'er tea, and said: "It takes time first, and the growth and expansion of the market requires two aspects to complement each other..." Uh, hardware and software. Hardware It is the number of screens in theaters. Only when the popularity reaches a certain level can the market have the possibility of a box office blowout. But why open theaters? From an investment point of view, it must be because there is a profit, so this requires software, movies and potential audiences Consumers."

Han Sanping nodded, this is the clearest way of thinking, and he said with a smile: "Actually, there are not too few theaters in China. "Titanic" and "Hero" have proved that there is a lot of consumption. The crowd is just unstable, watching one movie counts as one movie, and they don’t have the habit of going to movies frequently. This has something to do with whether there are attractive new movies in theaters, ticket prices, and consumption power.”

The third floor "The most important thing is to form consumption concepts and increase consumption power. More people go to the cinema to watch movies. Therefore, more effort is needed in publicity, not only attention, but cinemas have better visual and audio enjoyment It is also true that watching the big screen is considered watching the movie.”

He shrugged his shoulders slightly, took a sip of tea, and continued: "I have every reason to believe that in a few years, when young people today have the financial ability and spending power, the frozen Chinese box office will appear. Explosive growth. Because they understand this, they pursue better enjoyment and the pursuit of watching movies for the first time; the box office increases, and the number of theaters and screens will also increase, but this cannot be rushed, it will take time."

"And the most important point is the movie. A good movie is an excellent publicity and marketing, with more sensation to stimulate the market, so that more people can complete their first time entering the movie theater faster. There is a second time..." Slowly form this habit. "

Having said that, Wang Yang said with a smile: "Maybe "The Fall of Las Vegas" can be further advanced? Haha, pk, I am very honored!"

"Mr. Wang, what you said makes sense. I just want to ask how to stimulate this market." Han Sanping looked humble, and he didn't disagree with it in his heart, but he felt that this young man shrugged his shoulders. Orthodox, he asked: "I want to learn from Hollywood's experience, big investment, big production, big star, high investment to make a big movie, big production, big lineup, and then do big publicity, Use this method to make commercial films, to make Chinese red movies."

Wang Yang fell silent immediately, drank his tea rationally, looked at Han Sanping after a few seconds, and said with a smile: "Big movies are really attractive and will stimulate the market. But there is one premise, you have to It is necessary to ensure the quality of the film and satisfy the stimulated audience, and every one of them. Because for an immature market, the audience is not satisfied with the feeling of Wudong Qiankun Shengwang Create a holy king, kill the gods and seal the throne at night, seek the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of Zhou, kill the gods and seal the throne at night, seek the magic, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man, the king of Zhou Begging the Devil, the World's Nine Heavens, the Strongest Abandoned Younger, the Great Zhou Royal Family, God-making General, Night Killing the God Seal Throne, Begging the Demon, and the Nine Heavens, the Strongest Abandoned Younger, The Great Zhou Royal Family will not target that movie, but the entire market, the entire domestic production in China movie market."

"Because when that blockbuster is sensational and catches all the eyeballs, the audience's concept will change. That blockbuster is a Chinese-made movie." If the movie is bad, he will say Chinese movies It sucks. This is a kind of injury, and every time the injury increases, the sense of distrust will increase, and in the end the market will become bigger, but..."

Wang Yang spread his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Han, to tell you the truth, it's just a wedding dress for Hollywood. If that happens, the market share of Chinese domestic films will be very small. Of course, every year o It is a good protection plan to import all films.” There is also a large proportion of China Film Group’s share.

"Yeah." Han Sanping nodded silently. The young man made some sense, but he didn't think he would miss it. Commercial films, that's not the case. They have money and celebrities, and then they use China Film's means and publicity, Audiences still want to watch, what's so difficult about getting the box office up? He doesn't believe that state-owned enterprises can't do well, and he doesn't believe that public ownership will fail at all.

"Actually, the most important thing is that sentence, make the movie well." Wang Yang drank. Tea, it can be seen that Han Sanping is quite disapproving, but now that he has said so much, he continued: "Of course some people will say that Hollywood movies are really bad." But there are too many movies released in Hollywood every year, there are bad and good, It is a mature brand, and it is also aimed at a mature market, so the audience will continue to watch it while scolding Hollywood. "

"The United States is not only Hollywood, it only represents the mainstream market. European films and independent film festivals such as Sundance will fill the gaps in Hollywood, and at the same time bring in fresh blood. The creative team is constantly changing blood to keep the mainstream market from making films. So you can see "Memento" and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"..." Christopher Nolan, he is becoming a top-notch director with one of the most mainstream market influences. "

Wang Yang said euphemistically: "Independent films represent the display of talent. Only more young filmmakers get the opportunity to join in and have the opportunity to tell stories to their heart's content, and there are other aspects..." Forming a mature market, I think This is the Hollywood experience that should be used for reference. He shrugged, raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Han, you know the complexity of China better than I do. I don't know much, so that's all." "

"Hehe!" Han Sanping smiled cheerfully and narrowed his eyes. This doll looks at things too simply. Do young people know what a chairman is? Take your time! It is undeniable that this doll has a knack for making those foreign ghost commercial films. Well, Han Sanping said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, do you think there is any possibility of cooperation? Sino-US joint venture will invest in a blockbuster film, and you will be the director, and I will name it as a producer."

Wang Yang shook his head with a smile, he is really not interested at the moment, especially when there are situations where people are under the control of others, and there are sex and movies..." He said seriously: "Mr. Han, I personally have no such plan for the time being, but we There are joint venture opportunities between the two companies.

We, Huo Huo, now attach great importance to the Chinese market. You know that we are producing a cartoon, "Kung Fu Panda". "Look" is just that the Chinese market is not yet mature enough. If conditions permit in a few years, Flame will consider establishing an oriental subsidiary company to specialize in the production of films with foreign flavors, and bring more good films to the market. To the Chinese audience and the world. "

"Oh, that's a pity." Han Sanping knew that this matter was reluctant to come, so he didn't care too much. Who makes commercial films? He can come by himself, the most important thing is the star lineup! He remembered another purpose of this trip, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, your coming to Beijing is really a sensation! Many people want to know you! They say it's your movie fans, these days My phone calls have never stopped, and I want to make a way to get to know you."

Han Sanping smiled very happily, this incident made him feel very respectable, even Zhang Weiping's people called him! Maybe they were all rejected by this doll! What a grandeur! He laughed and said, "Oh, I'm just pecking at it. Let's just hold a dinner party. Let's all come together? It's a charity dinner to raise money for **. On Friday night, all the celebrities will come. Mr. Wang, you too , know each other!"

"Okay" Wang Yang nodded with a smile. He was not very interested. Whether these dinner parties were held in Luoyang or in Beijing, it would be annoying to attend too many parties. Although this is a charity dinner, he likes it now Donate directly. But it doesn't matter, since so many people want to get to know him, it seems good to have everything done in one dinner party.

When this meeting was over, Wang Yang returned to the classically decorated senior suite and finished washing. Wang Yang was so tired that he lay down on the bed and covered himself with a quilt. Now, he smiled and said, "Hi, sweetheart!" Jessica over there said excitedly, "Baby, good evening." Wang Yang turned around and said with a smile, "Good morning! Wow, I Very, very superstar here! Everyone - love - Jan!"

"Of course! No one likes to grow old." Hearing her pleasant laughter from the mobile phone, Wang Yang laughed and said, "Everyone loves money! There are also gifts! I bought some gifts for you, I guarantee you like them , Praise myself!” Jessica asked enthusiastically: “What is that?” Wang Yang smiled and said, “Guess what?”

"I guess
