You don't understand the happiness of the director
Chapter 17 On a plane thousands of miles above sea level
Wang Quan and Yu Feihong met unexpectedly, but who made her his beautiful senior sister? The friendship between the same family should not be ignored. In order to help her understand the situation, the low-key Wang Quan did not hesitate to show off in front of others.
But she didn't guess. Like most people who heard such words, she first questioned, but her doubts were quite mild, "Is it true? You are only a junior in college and you can make a movie for the theater?"
Wang Quan, "My professional skills are definitely better than those of my senior sister. Do you agree or disagree?"
"I don't object, but, but will anyone invest in you? Making movies is not cheap."
"I'll invest my own money, it's a low-budget movie."
No matter how small the budget of the movie is, it will be shot in the United States, and it must be at least a million dollars. Yu Feihong guessed that this junior brother's family may have some capital, and making movies is just for fun. In this case, she would have nothing to say.
"Okay, I can guess now," Yu Feihong raised a green finger, "One million?"
Wang Quan shook his head, "It's too low."
"The two million?"
"Add a zero."
"JPY?"
"Beautiful knife!"
Yu Feihong adjusted her sitting posture and breathing, and stared at Wang Quan blankly, as if waiting for him to say "just kidding", but she didn't wait.
"What's the cost of the movie?" she asked.
"Subtract zero and keep the unit the same."
Yu Feihong's beautiful eyes are full of incredulity, how can you still make so much money playing ticket games!
Wang Quan said sincerely, "I admit that my filming is good, but if I didn't have an excellent producer to help me control costs, smooth out all the joints, and allow me to create with peace of mind, the final production cost would definitely be more than this amount, and it wouldn't sell so well." Price."
A movie costing two million US dollars sold 20 million. Yu Feihong felt like this was money laundering.
Seeing that her expression was full of doubts, Wang Quan took out his mobile phone and made sure that the unseen ones in the photo album had been deleted before handing it over and said, "Sister, I think you can understand English. You can read it yourself."
This was the contract signed between Dorothy and Paramount. She took pictures and sent them to Wang Quan for him to confirm.
The characters were very small, and Yu Feihong read them very slowly, "Your English name is King David?"
"Yes, senior sister, if you don't believe it, you can search it after landing. I think there should be relevant news by now."
"I believe it, I didn't say I didn't believe it," Yu Feihong asked after reading the contract, "You are so comfortable letting me see this kind of business secret?"
"What kind of secret is this? The 20 million figure is the key, but Paramount has spent so much money and it must be publicized. My partners also hope to use this publicity to push me to the table." So there is nothing you can't see. of.
At this time, Yu Feihong's eyes changed several times when he looked at Wang Quan, and he was even a little worried. He was only 21 years old. He was still so young. Success came too early. How could he make progress in the future?
And you can smoke a cigarette and be so awesome when you meet a random kid who strikes up a conversation? Could it be a revelation given to me by God? You see, if a kid can make a good movie, you can do it too!
Yu Feihong bit her lip. She was obviously thinking, but in Wang Quan's eyes, she felt that this action was tempting him, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
After thinking about it, Yu Feihong asked, "If I have any confusion about the director in the future, can I ask you for advice?"
Wang Quan did not accept this easy contact opportunity, "Senior sister, do you want to hear my advice?"
"Oh, you say."
"Directing ability cannot be cultivated in a short period of time, and it requires talent. Instead of striving for directing skills, you should learn how to be a producer, be an excellent crew manager, and complete your film within the specified time limit with the least amount of effort. It may be easier to achieve results if you spend the most money. If you have any ideas in this regard, I can introduce my producer to you. Although she is young, she has been working hard in the film and television industry since she was a child. She has a lot of experience. Sophisticated."
Seeing Wang Quan's sincerity, Yu Feihong lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Well, I will think about it, Brother Quan, thank you."
Oh, it's not Brother Quan anymore. Wang Quan was very pleased, "Then let's sleep."
Yu Feihong was startled: He wants to sleep with me?
"Well, I mean the journey is long, why don't we take a nap first." Wang Quan yawned.
Yu Feihong covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's exactly what I meant."
After waking up, Wang Quan went to dinner and watch a movie with Yu Feihong. She was a literary young woman. Wang Quan had a good appetite and could handle the arts and business, but she didn't want to watch the same movie. The two discussed it and chose "The Notebook" for the first one.
Wang Quan introduced, "I wrote a script, and it was this actor who played the leading role, named Gosling." Domestic fans like to call him Commander Gao, and he is still not well-known. His future masterpieces will include "La La Land" and "Silver Silver". Wing Killer 2".
"You can also be a screenwriter. Brother Quan, I am convinced." At the same time, Yu Feihong remembered the movie "Gosling" and must look back. Wang Quan said that it is a new movie and there are no resources yet.
Then they watched "Before Sunset", and both of them happened to have read the prequel "Before Dawn". Which female literary youth can refuse Richard Linklater's "Before Dawn" trilogy.
However, Wang Quan has a big advantage, that is, he can enjoy the finale "Before Midnight" seven years in advance, becoming the first person to watch the "Love Trilogy" earlier than the director.
After watching it, the two chatted for a while about their impressions of the movie. Wang Quan's comments hit Yu Feihong perfectly, and they couldn't help but regard him as a confidant.
With three hours left before landing, they finally chose a movie "Requiem for a Dream" from 2000.
The heroine Jennifer Connelly is very in line with the aesthetics of King Quan. It would be no exaggeration to say that she is as beautiful as a fairy in "Once Upon a Time in America", and "A Beautiful Mind" is also beautiful and representative. She seems to have been seen in some movie review articles before. The name of this movie has given it a very good reputation.
I just didn't expect that the movie I finally chose was a little embarrassing. I forgot that it was an R-rated movie. This level of movie contains adult content, and there will be more scenes of sex, violence, belly sucking, and swear words.
What is unexpected is that this movie includes all the above elements, especially the surname. It is described in several pages that Connery sacrificed too much and he loved her even more.
Although Wang Quan and Yu Feihong are both film and television workers, and their movie viewing volume is not bad, and they have seen many more extreme scenes than this, the problem is that there is a person of the opposite sex sitting next to them, and watching them together doubles the embarrassment.
"Pause for a moment, I'm going to the bathroom." Yu Feihong just finished a large-scale scene and called a timeout, his face slightly red.
King Quan, "Let's go together." He also needs a release.
~
It took more than ten hours to set off from Beijing in the morning and arrive in Los Angeles in the early morning of the same day. This also meant that Wang Quan and Yu Feihong were going to part ways, and the next step was very difficult for them.
The two hugged each other goodbye and left each other's contact information so that they would not be able to find each other in the future.
Seeing Yu Feihong being picked up by a friend, Wang Quan felt a sense of loss, and his beloved Dorothy didn't say anything about coming to pick him up.
While he was muttering, his cell phone rang. It was cousin Mayo's.
Wang Quan’s article became quite popular on Sina Blog, and Mayo hadn’t arranged for a recommendation spot yet. Because Yang Mi’s comments were reposted, coupled with the controversy of the article itself, this prediction post gained some popularity.
Mayo also took a look and felt that this topic was not bad. Nowadays, Chinese people are fascinated and in awe of Hollywood, and the Oscars are definitely popular.
But what did he write next? He was nominated for an Oscar as a screenwriter?
Mayo read it over and over to make sure it was not a joke, and he also firmly believed that his cousin was not a liar, so he made a phone call and chatted for a long time.
After hanging up the phone, I called Wang Quan.
Facing his cousin's inquiry, Wang Quan confirmed again, "Yes, that King David is me. Brother Ao, you don't believe me either?"
"I believe it, but that's not all you have to do. Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"
Wang Quan, "Which one are you talking about?"
"No, how many things are you hiding from me?"
Wang Quan chuckled, "When a boy grows up, he must have some secrets of his own."
"There is a movie called "The Basement"..."
"Yes, I am the director."
"I heard it was sold for 20 million US dollars?" Mayo's voice lowered a bit.
Wang Quan was surprised, "Ah, has the news spread?"
It seems true!
Mayo took a deep breath, "My classmates on Wall Street in New York have heard about it. I don't even dare to tell them that you are my brother, for fear that he will ask me to borrow money~"
Wang Quan, "Why didn't I tell you? Do you think I'm not afraid of being borrowed~"
Mayo knew it was a joke and laughed and scolded, "You brat, have you told your mother and father?"
Wang Quan sighed, "They were so busy that they didn't even ask me what I did in the United States. I don't even have the chance to say that."
Mayo heard the bitterness in his cousin's words. Children from divorced families have a hard time, and it is difficult to get their parents together during the Chinese New Year.
After a moment of silence, Mayo said, "Let's get down to business. Sina wants to reprint your story. Do you have any questions?"
"I'm sure there's no problem with helping me become famous, but you can mention your name, but don't post photos."
"Why, you're not bad looking either."
Scene words: "Because I am too good-looking, I am afraid that others will pay more attention to my face than my work!".
Actually: I don’t want to be recognized when I take different girls to the hotel to discuss the script after returning to China~
(The Hollywood plot will start for a period of time next. This is an inevitable transition, but it will also be interspersed with domestic writing. I hope you don’t hold back for now. At this stage, it is very important for me to read. There will be two updates later, or2~ )
