You don't understand the happiness of the director

Now that Yang Mi was so stubborn, the vice president even made her pout when he called her. She was still confident, "Which is more important, the Red Mansion Draft or the King Power Director? Do you know who I am with now?"

The vice president was stunned for a while, but after thinking about the photos and group photos on Yang Mi's blog, forget it, and said nothing.

Although Yang Mi doesn't plan to return to China now to participate in the Red Mansion talent show, she will have to go back in ten days because school is about to start.

Wang Quan really didn't spend much time with her, so he planned to put his work aside for the next few days and play with her to make her feel refreshed.

Oops, it doesn't seem possible. Dorothy wants "Juno" to appear at the Venice International Film Festival, which opens at the end of the month, to build momentum for the Olympics in advance, so she needs to rush the post-production process.

Forget it, she can play well by herself.

What I am showing Yoshihiko Yatabe now is a rough cut without soundtrack and color correction, but the rhythm is very close to the finished product, only one hundred and ten minutes long, very mature.

Yoshihiko Yatabe was amazed after watching it, especially the scene at the end that was suspected of being a gangster. It was a stroke of genius, vividly showing the cruelty of youth.

It’s such a pity why there is no such talent among the new generation of Neon directors. Unfortunately, such talent belongs to Hollywood. He should return to his home country and contribute to the development of native language films.

Sure enough, any filmmaker who sees King Quan's achievements at this time doesn't think he can ever leave Hollywood.

Of course, this "Juno" has passed Yoshihiko Yatabe's test, and it will definitely be a thunder at this year's East Film Festival!

He even felt that the film had the level of one of the three major European films. However, due to the schedule, director's resume, and the expectation of winning an award, Long Toutou finally chose the East Film Festival.

At the time of separation, Yatabe Yoshihiko thought again and again, but still held Wang Quan's hand, sincerely hoping that there would be an opportunity for his creative perspective to return to the East Asian cultural circle.

Wang Quan could only say vaguely, "There will be a chance."

Also present at the scene was Dorothy. Wang Quan did not want to irritate her by saying that he would definitely return to China. Boss Tao was currently in a state of excitement, and Wang Quan could not pour cold water on her.

Dorothy was very excited at this time. As the secret room game became popular in North America this summer, it even had a tendency to break out of the Americas. Now the opening of the theater finally made her talk about 2800 halls. She is about to reach the 3000 hall scale promised to King Power. , is the most watched movie in September.

At the same time, she also sold the overseas copyright of "Escape Room", and she immediately recovered the capital and made a lot of money.

Among them, the copyright of Neon was sold to Sony. After all, it is their home base. Distribution is more convenient and it is easy to generate high box office. The movie mode is similar to a battle royale. Neon people like to watch this stuff. The price is 1 million US dollars. Walk.

The copyright of Huaxia naturally belongs to Qiankun Culture, and the deal was settled with just one phone call, with a friendly price of US$600,000.

Yes, it's more expensive than what Paramount sells. Dorothy originally wanted to sell it cheaply, but Lao Wang didn't agree. If word spread, wouldn't it make my peers look down on my son? It must be sold at a higher price.

It was really difficult for him to recoup the cost of 1 million dollars, so he settled on 600,000 dollars. Lao Wang had already secured China Film and prepared to release it simultaneously.

In addition to North America, Neon, and China, other global ticket warehouses were sold to Paramount in a package.

There was no way, Paramount was so sincere that they directly gave him 10 million dollars!

You must know that escape room games have not yet become popular all over the world, and they have also eliminated the two major ticket holders in China and Japan. In addition, overseas box office share is usually not that high.

In North America, Paramount can get nearly 60% of the box office share, but overseas, it is usually only about 40%.

This means that, not counting the publicity and distribution costs, it also needs an overseas box office of 25 million U.S. dollars, which is not easy.

Including the Chinese box office, the overseas box office (outside North America) of "10 Cloverfield Lane" has just exceeded 25 million.

So a total of 11.6 million dollars was made, and the production cost was 6 million!

Now "Escape Room" has already made a huge profit just by selling overseas copyrights. After it is released, it will also have North American box office, and in the future there will be income from DVD, video tapes, pay-on-demand, TV channels, etc.

Dorothy patted Wang Quan on the shoulder, "The good days are still to come, so keep working hard."

With her words, Wang Quan spent most of the next few days with Phil Collins. Although he had already written several theme songs and interludes for the movie in advance, and they were very nice, the soundtrack still needed to be adjusted.

When Wang Quan saw the bald man, his first concern was, "Is Lily's situation better now?"

Phil nodded, "The doctor said there is no need to go back again."

After the movie was finished, the first thing Wang Quan did when he returned to Los Angeles was not to get a massage from Naomi Watts, but to accompany Lily's parents and take Lily to see a psychiatrist for counseling.

She is not the kind of girl with outstanding acting talent. In order to fulfill her promise to her friends and to live up to the trust placed in her by the royal power, she completely imagined herself as the virtual character Juno before the filming began. It can be said that she has a deep understanding of the character. The level of care is even greater than that of the original Ellen Page.

Especially on the day of the secret room game, when seeing Lily's first reaction was that she was about to give birth, Wang Quan realized that this girl was in too deep and needed to be corrected in time.

Phil sighed, "It's enough to act in one movie like this. I won't let her take on literary films in the future. Maybe it would be good to do something else."

"I heard that Lily wants to study journalism at the University of Southern California?"

"Yes, we all support her. It would be good to be a reporter or host."

"Very welcome, we will be alumni from now on~"

"Oh, you're also from the University of Southern California," Phil thought for a moment, "Actually, UCLA is pretty good too."

Royal power, "..."

Although I was busy working on the film in the later stages, it was not non-stop day and night, and I was still able to spare some time to spend with Mimi.

To be precise, let Mimi accompany you.

Recently, Wang Quan received a call from Zhang Jingchu, inviting Wang Quan to visit the crew of "Rush Hour 3" where she worked. She also said, "This is what the big brother meant."

The eldest brother is of course Cheng Long. He probably heard Zhang Jingchu say that he knew Wang Quan, so he thought of getting acquainted with him.

Wang Quan naturally agreed happily and took Yang Mi with him. His current achievements were far from being as good as Cheng Long's.

Yang Mi said, "Cheng Long, I'm familiar with him!"

She and Cheng Long had filmed a motorcycle commercial together, but Cheng Long was the spokesperson, and Yang Mi was a young actor in the commercial. That was three years ago, and Yang Mi's remuneration at that time was only 600 yuan.

When we arrived at the set of "Rush Hour 3", we were filming a literary drama. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the filming process of a successful Kung Fu comedy. When I was a kid, I watched Cheng Long's Kung Fu movies, and the behind-the-scenes footage at the end of the film was a must-see.

When they were resting, Cheng Long walked up enthusiastically and said, "Director Wang, it's our first time meeting you. I'm so glad to meet you."

"Brother, what did you say? It should be my pleasure to meet you." Wang Quan then greeted Zhang Jingchu again.

Zhang Jingchu looked at Yang Mi, because she was now signed at Rong Xinda, and she and Yang Mi were colleagues, but they had only met twice, so they were not too familiar with each other, but Yang Mi seemed to be very familiar with Wang Quan.

"Who is this?" After talking to Wang Quan for a while, Cheng Long noticed Yang Mi.

"Brother, it's me, Yang Mi. The only commercial we've ever filmed is the motorcycle commercial."

"Is your father the one who was a policeman?"

"Ah, right, right." Yang Mi was very happy, she finally remembered herself, even though she remembered her father.

In fact, Lao Yang heard from Lao Wang that Lao Long was not very authentic, so he wore a police uniform and accompanied his daughter to shoot an advertisement, which left a deep impression on Lao Long.

Cheng Long really didn't recognize it, "Your face looked like this then, why does it look like this now? Oh, I understand the female transformation."

Wang Quan introduced, "Mimi and I grew up playing together. She came to me to play during the summer vacation from college. I heard she said she knew you and had a close relationship, so I brought her here with me. ”

Yang Mi glared at him and told her to shut up.

Cheng Long laughed, "Indeed, we know each other very well. By the way, I will have a small role later. Do you want to make a guest appearance?"

Yang Mi glanced at Wang Quan and saw him nodding, "Okay, okay, I feel very honored to be able to appear in Big Brother's movie. It's not a waste of time for us to get to know each other."

Zhang Jingchu sighed in her heart, this girl is really thick-skinned, and she is as young as her eldest brother, but with Wang Quan, the brother next door, she does have capital.

So Zhang Jingchu set her sights on Wang Quan again.

Tokyo.

Liu Yifei just closed her blog. She just read Wang Quan's article about the completion of "Juno" and predicted that it will be released within the year. He is so fast, making three movies in one year!

Later, Liu Yifei also read Yang Mi's blog. She has been learning how to dress from Yang Mi recently and feels that she has benefited a lot.

But she knew it once she saw it, but it was useless once she tried it. She also went to buy clothes with her mother a few times, but the effect was not ideal. On the contrary, her mother's matching was pretty good, and she always looked good.

The article posted by Yang Mi today is not about outfits, but a group of photos of her, Cheng Long, Zhang Jingchu and others. It turns out that she visited the crew of "Rush Hour 3" today and made a guest appearance at Cheng Long's invitation. a character.

When her mother came back, she told her mother about this incident as an anecdote, but her mother's expression was very unnatural.

Liu Xiaoli murmured, "Yang Mi has already acted in Rush Hour 3!"

Liu Yifei, "It's a guest appearance."

"That's what she did!" Liu Xiaoli raised her voice, "Did Wang Quan recommend her to go?"

Liu Yifei said, "Maybe, she's not familiar with life in Los Angeles, so Wang Quan should have taken her there for the visit."

Liu Xiaoli's face suddenly became even worse. This girl Yang Mi was a treacherous girl. Could she have some plot against Xiao Wang?

"No, we have to return to China quickly. Your Uncle Wang also said that we can start filming whenever we go back. The cast has been selected for you, and they are all big names."

"Ah, but I haven't passed the dance test yet. I can only sing and dance, but can't I dance?"

"Your talent is incomparable to your mother's. It would be nice to be able to do a little jumping frog. You seem to be more talented in acting. How have you read the script recently?"

"Well, I've basically finished reading it." The domestic stewardess crew sent it to her after finishing writing.

Liu Xiaoli, "That's it. If we stay for a few more days, we will find a reason to return to China. Don't let your Uncle Wang wait too long."

Liu Yifei and her daughter have not yet returned to China, but Gadot has already returned to Los Angeles from her home country.

Opening room 1025, it feels familiar yet strange.

Then she saw Yang Mi coming out of the bedroom, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

"Mimi?"

"Gadot?"

They all know each other's existence. Yang Mi knows that Gadot is Brother Quan's current girlfriend, which is good. With Gadot standing in front of her, Liu Yifei can't cause any trouble.

Gadot knows that Yang Mi has been Wang Quan’s playmate since childhood, and Gadot has also met Yang Mi’s father.

"Mimi, thank you very much for your dad. I lost my wallet when I was in the capital. I was so anxious at the time. It was Uncle Wang who found your dad, and my wallet was back within half a day."

Yang Mi, "You're welcome, you're welcome. We have always been so efficient in treating our international friends."

Yang Mi complained in her heart: I lost my wallet and my dad can’t even find it back.

About an hour later, Wang Quan came back. He was too busy today to pick up his girlfriend. The Venice Film Festival was about to start, but the post-production of "Juno" was not finished yet, so Wang Quan had to work overtime and edit a three-minute film. Give the long trailer to Dorothy and ask her to take it to Venice in a few days.

Then I will continue to work hard and try to bring the finished product to the film festival before it closes.

Now there are three people at home, but there is only one bedroom. The situation in Beiying Community reappeared, and the old rules were still the same, with Wang Quan sleeping on the sofa and the two women sleeping on the bed.

When two unfamiliar women lay in bed, they were very reserved about each other.

Yang Mi glanced sideways. Although she was longer than me, she was not as tall as me!

Gadot was thinking: When will she leave? I've been holding this in for almost two months!

It was planned that Yang Mi would return to China in two days, and since it was the weekend, the editors and post-production special effects artists also needed to rest, so Wang Quan simply gave himself two days off and had fun with Gadot and Mi Mi. Let's go on a trip for three people!

Originally, my sister-in-law was there, but now she has a phobia of traveling and doesn’t want to leave the dormitory after returning to school.

Los Angeles has nothing new to say about King Power and Gadot, so they chose the famous Las Vegas.

Yang Mi was still a little worried, "Brother, gambling is bad, isn't it? Haven't you said since you were a child that you and drug gambling are inseparable?"

Wang Quan laughed while driving the car, "Who said that gambling is the only place in Las Vegas? The various shows in Las Vegas are also very interesting, and the shopping and catering industries there are also very developed."

"Brother Quan, are you familiar with Las Vegas?"

Wang Quan, "I went with Boss Tao. The inspiration for one of my scripts came from there."

Yang Mi looked to the side, "Gadot, have you been there?"

"No." But with her boyfriend here, she wasn't worried at all.

The hotel chosen by King Quan is the famous Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It is also the first theme hotel in the casino. It was built after the ancient Greek and Roman palaces and has a history of 40 years.

Yang Mi looked around like a curious baby, "Brother Quan, that woman wears so little!" "Brother Quan, is that guy with the white cloth on his head the rich man from the Middle East?" "Brother Quan, that man It seems like Wu Yan’s group!”

Wang Quan rolled his eyes at her, "Could that be Wu Yan's group~"
