You don't understand the happiness of the director

Sina Entertainment Newsroom.

"Come out?"

"Hurry, hurry!"

"Aren't you out yet?"

"Right now!"

"Ah!" When a page came out of the fax machine, Sina Entertainment Editor-in-Chief Zhao Tengxiang immediately took it over, still warm, "Why is it in English?"

"Editor-in-Chief, if you want it urgently, Li Xiulian from the United States sent the original version directly, and the Chinese version is being translated." Yi Longhan, the newcomer next to him, said, and then everyone else in the editorial department also gathered around.

They knew that today was the day when the Oscar shortlist was announced, so they didn't care about anything else. They just wanted to see how many projects "Juno" could be shortlisted for.

"One, two..." Although Editor-in-Chief Zhao Tengxiang is not proficient in English, he can still recognize "Juno" clearly, and he soon discovered seven.

A colleague who has passed CET-4 or CET-6 accurately stated the shortlisted items of "Juno", "Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Original Music, Best Great soundtrack!”

Zhao Tengxiang pounded the table hard, "All four important awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay have been shortlisted. That's awesome!"

"What the fuck!" Yi Longhan groaned and trembled excitedly, "Why are there so many? I haven't seen the movie. Is the editing of this movie excellent?"

"I heard it's great. Think about it, a literary film has such a high box office, it has already surpassed "Brokeback Mountain". The editing must make the audience immersed to achieve such a high box office."

"It's a pity that there is one less movie than "Brokeback Mountain". Last year, Brokeback Mountain was nominated for eight nominations and finally won three awards." A female colleague said.

Yi Longhan, "Can this be compared? Li Yin was already an Oscar veteran at that time, but this was really the first time Director Wang's directorial work was nominated. He got seven nominations for the first time, seven! Yes! Yes, is this the most this year?”

Other colleagues immediately started counting, "Four entries for Little Miss Sunshine? Four entries for The Queen? Five entries for The Departed? Seven entries for Tower of Babel!"

Zhao Tengxiang, "It's tied for seven nominations with "Tower of Babel". This year's Oscars are a bit interesting. Is this going to focus on supporting foreign directors?"

Like King Power, Gonzalez, the director of "Babel" is also a foreigner. He is a Mexican. It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with it. He will also direct "Birdman" and "The Revenant" in the future. Come and have a look.

Yi Longhan said, "Editor-in-Chief, don't hesitate. Let's go to the Oscars this year. We want to witness the miracle with our own eyes!"

"That's right, editor-in-chief, even if we pay for the air tickets and accommodation ourselves, let's try to fight with the US branch!" Another colleague said hurriedly.

Zhao Tengxiang thought about it and said, "Stop talking nonsense, you go and write a manuscript. I will consider whoever's manuscript has the most clicks!"

Some of these people are editors who use pens, and some are entertainment reporters who are out in the field, but at this moment they are all gearing up.

However, when they were almost finished writing, especially since Yi Longhan was about to submit the manuscript, Zhao Tengxiang said again, "Wait a minute, a new situation has arisen, and you guys have to make some changes."

Yi Longhan said, "Boss, don't tease us. Is this fax fake?"

"There's no problem with the fax. That's what it is. Just now, the North American box office of "Juno" exceeded $100 million. Please add this to the list."

There was dead silence in the editorial office. This, this, this, this is a bit too strong!

As we all know, being nominated for and winning an Oscar will increase the box office of the nominated films currently in theaters. According to this theory, the total box office of "Juno", which has already exceeded 100 million in box office at this time, will reach such terrifying figures!

Anyway, it will definitely surpass the 108 million in North America of "Escape Room".

Director Wang actually defeated his own commercial films with artistic films!

Yi Longhan immediately had a new idea and hurriedly sat down to revise the draft.

Almost at the same time, Sina, NetEase, Sohu, and Tencent all published the news that "Throne's new movie Juno is nominated for seven Oscars" on their front pages, but the titles had different emphasis.

Sina’s focus is on royal power.

Sohu’s focus is Juno.

NetEase focuses on seven items.

The key point of Tencent is that its box office has exceeded 100 million. It is so fucking rich!

Yang Mi was browsing entertainment news at an Internet cafe near the school. When she saw the reports about Brother Quan on major portal websites, she shouted excitedly, "Network administrator, get a bottle of Nutrition Express!"

However, just after taking a sip, suddenly, the Internet cafe was full of curses, saying "f*ck" made Yang Mi shake her head, quality, pay attention to quality, isn't it just a panda burning incense, let's go.

Nominated for an Oscar at the age of 21, Wang Quan is undoubtedly the most conspicuous among the five nominees. He is the youngest director in history to be nominated for this award.

There was an endless stream of calls wanting to interview him and invite him to participate in the show, but he asked Lafite to block them all. Why, he still had to make movies to make money.

And you are bound to be asked about the last scene in the interview. Now the movie "Juno", the character Juno, and various social topics derived from Juno have become popular cultural symbols in the United States. Everyone has their own opinions. Different interpretations. At this time, it is most taboo for the director as the creator to come out and make irresponsible remarks. Some people will not like to hear what you say.

"You're a bad movie maker, what do you know about Juno!"

Therefore, Wang Quan tried his best to be a pure creator and left the interview questions to Dorothy and Lily.

However, the two of them said they would come over to visit the class on the weekend, and Dorothy wanted to discuss the next marketing and public relations plan with Wang Quan. As for Lily, she was shortlisted for the Oscar, so it was time to fulfill her bet in person.

Today, Wang Quan hung a Do Not Disturb sign at the door of his room and concentrated on writing the script for "007: Skyfall." The outline was taken from MGM. Such a behind-the-scenes deal basically locked in the heroine for Gadot in advance. , but you still need to go through a procedure.

This is not the one Gadot auditioned for, that one already has a complete script, and Skyfall is the third Daniel version of 007.

As I was writing in the middle of the night, I got a call from China, and it was my dad.

Wang Quan answered the call apologetically. The Chinese New Year was coming in less than a month, and he definitely wouldn't be able to go back this year. He had to rush into post-production after Twilight was filmed, otherwise it would delay his return to Nortel to graduate.

Lao Wang didn't say this at first. He came to report the good news to his son, "I just came back from Thailand. Don't worry, I'm accompanied by two brothers who have carried guns. No one dares to mess with me."

"Oh, how about it, "The Stewardess" was sold?"

"Haha, it's quite successful. After all, what we sell is not expensive." Lao Wang looked like he didn't care about money. After all, he was now in the stage of occupying the market. "I have basically scanned all the countries in Southeast Asia, although one country is not that many. , but it adds up to a large sum.”

In addition, the first round of domestic sales was sold to CCTV, and the second round was sold to Dragon TV and Anhui Province Satellite TV.

"Can this drama make money?" Wang Quan asked. He suggested to Lao Wang that he should take the high-quality route, so the investment in this drama was quite high.

"Of course, I have started to make money now. I didn't expect that filming TV series can be so profitable. Now I want to use the money I earn from filming TV series to support my theater chain," Lao Wang said excitedly, "I am also thinking about whether to sell the TV series. When I go to Africa, I am afraid of contracting some virus."

Wang Quan nodded, "It's a good idea to use the money earned from TV series to support theaters. It's really difficult to make money from movies now."

"Then you want to film that "Double Food Chronicle"?"

"The cost is small, and it's nothing if you lose it."

Lao Wang said again, "Okay, let's pay the compensation together, and I will also invest some money when the time comes."

"OK."

Wang Qiankun chuckled and said, "Then give me another idea. What will Qiankun Culture do next? I heard from Lingling that you have several copyrights there."

He knew his son was not interested in TV series, so he shamelessly asked for it.

Wang Quan thought for a while, "I have a short story here, about 10,000 words."

"Then Braille?"

Wang Quan, "So if you want to completely change the look, I suggest you find our teacher Jiang Wei from Nortel. If he is willing to take over, then this project will be written and directed by him."

"What's your name?"

""Latent", author Long Yi."

Lao Wang wrote down the name, "Okay, I'll look for it first. By the way, I'm planning to build an IMAX cinema in the capital. Do you believe the movie about Cameron's "Avatar" that you mentioned?"

Wang Quan, "The filming has already started. As for the release, it will be two years later."

"So long?!"

"Including the preparation time, there will always be five or six years." Wang Quan suddenly rolled his eyes, yes, it will be released in almost three years, so long!

At the weekend, Dorothy and Lily Collins arrived as scheduled. Now that Lily was a big star, the Twilight actors wanted to get close but were embarrassed.

Wang Quan looked at them both, "Which one of you comes first?"

Dorothy, "Whoever comes first, we can talk if you have time."

Lily gave in, "Then you go first, let us handsome guys and beauties get to know each other."

Dou Xiao was very happy to be called a handsome guy and a beautiful girl. Just as he was about to introduce himself, Lily walked directly in front of Kristen Stewart.

In Wang Quan's hotel room, Dorothy said, "Seven nominations, seven nominations!"

"I know, don't get excited."

Dorothy said excitedly, "Do you know how much I spent!"

Royal power, "..."

"So all the public relations money is spent?" he asked.

Dorothy chuckled, "That's not true, there is still a little bit left, but we can only give up on those major items."

Wang Quan said it was completely understandable. After all, their competitors spent more money than they did. I heard that because of the sudden rise of "Juno", Lily's voice became louder. In order to ensure that "The Queen" could win the award, Harvey Weinstein urgently A large amount of public relations expenses were invested.

Seven nominations, leading the Oscars does sound good. Dorothy said, "The overseas distributors who have offered us prices recently have become more and more generous. I plan to sell a few, and then wait for the British-Austrian and Berlin Film Festivals. Sell ​​them all.”

Now may be the time when "Juno" has the highest value and the most glory. It's a seller's market, and buyers are demanding them. If it waits until after the Oscars, if it goes to zero, the value will be greatly reduced. This possibility is not No.

Wang Quan said that Boss Tao was wise, "But I don't want to sell the copyright of Neon. I'll keep it for use."

"What are you doing?"

Wang Quan asked with a smile, "Have you ever thought about setting up a Tokyo branch of Dragon Head in Neon?"

"Ah?!" Dorothy was surprised, "Are you taking too big a step?"

Wang Quan, "It's like this. I have a classmate in Tokyo who is a local and is also involved in movies. I asked him to buy the copyrights of some neon novels and comics. If I want to develop the neon market, I don't need much money. It doesn’t need to be all borne by Long Toutou, I will personally bear part of it, and my classmate will also bear part of it. Even if our North American headquarters does not have enough films, the Tokyo branch will shoot the movie itself.”

Dorothy was tempted. After all, it was Neon. It was the second largest movie market in the world with strong purchasing power. The six major movie theaters, including Lionsgate, were all involved in Neon, and they could earn a lot of box office every year.

"How much will it cost?"

Wang Quan, "I haven't calculated it yet, but a few million dollars should be enough to start it."

After hearing that it was only such a small amount of money, Dorothy immediately agreed, "I have no problem."

"Then Juno's neon copyright will be handed over to this newly established branch. No matter how much it is, it will be regarded as training the team."

"What about the distribution of shares~" Dorothy asked seriously.

Wang Quan said indifferently, "It depends on how much you want."

Dorothy thought for a while and said, "I want half of it anyway. How about we call it a branch?"

Wang Quan nodded, "Okay, then I'll pay 50% to Long Head, 30% to me, and 20% to my classmate, who will also be responsible for management."

Wang Quan had already made an agreement with Umekawa Hideo before. He was willing to sell his father's izakaya and join Wang Quan in Neon's movie hegemony. Of course, Umekawa definitely couldn't do it now. Wang Quan also entrusted Brother Kon Satoshi to help introduce a reliable person. The CEO is responsible for the establishment of the company's framework and subsequent work.

Completing the neon layout will not only help the dragon raise his head, but also benefit Wangdao Pictures in the future, and this can be regarded as the wealth he will leave to Dorothy after he leaves North America.

Wang Quan said, "It's all said and done, you can go out and let Lily come in."

"What else are you two whispering about?"

"Remember to close the door when you go out, thank you."

At this time, Lily and Little K had been chatting for a while. Lily was two years older, but she looked more childish and was very popular with everyone.

After Dorothy came over, she put her arm on Little K's shoulder and said, "Lily, Director Wang is calling you."

Lily stood up to say goodbye. When she entered Wang Quan's room, she first put up the "Do Not Disturb" sign, then locked the door, and carefully turned off her phone to prevent being disturbed.

Seeing her cautious look, Wang Quan smiled, "That's not true."

"Why not, please be serious."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Quan came over, hugged her, lowered his head, and came closer...

Five minutes later, Wang Quan let go of her, "Isn't it just a kiss? It's as if I want to do something to you."

And this was their original bet.

Lily thought about it for a moment, "Then, what do you want to do to me..."

(There are still ones in the evening, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket! Let’s see how long 16,000 a day can last!)

Do you have any recommendations for the heroine of the TV series "Latent", other than Yao Dazui?
