You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 22 At this moment, I am in Hollywood... having a dinner?

That afternoon, the two went to the city hall to register the company Loong Title, whose business scope includes movies, TV series, advertising and other unrelated businesses related to the film and television industry.

Witnessed by the two lawyers, Dorothy became the majority shareholder with 55% of the shares and is also the company's president and CEO. Wang Quan, the second shareholder, serves as the company's CCO (chief content officer). She not only has to make her own movies, but also the company's other projects. He also has the power to check.

At the same time, Wang Quan's various rights and interests as a future famous director have also been implemented on paper.

Dorothy patted Brother Quan and said, "You can have a day off tomorrow, and then we will be completely busy. You have to finish filming "The Basement" before school starts, and you have to come up with a new script, if possible. , it is best to solve the company logo and title animation plan together."

"how about you?"

Dorothy, "I have to recruit troops, go to major companies to visit docks, actively participate in various activities of the Producers Association, and clear obstacles for the company's startups. Do you think I have more time than you?"

"Okay then, let's work on our own."

the next day.

Today was originally reserved for Wang Quan to rest, but this day was actually quite fulfilling.

He first went back to school to cancel his vacation. It was early February and the University of Southern California had already started school, but Wang Quan had a lot of freedom at the school.

Even at the University of Southern California, which gave birth to Spielberg, Lucas, and Ron Howard, it is very rare for a film like "Underground" to be a hit at the Sundance Film Festival during the junior year, let alone He said that at the age of 21, he still had a script that was nominated for an Oscar, and the school was pointing to him for the honor.

Wang Quan had just come out of the teacher's office, and before he could enjoy the envious pointing fingers from his classmates, he was picked up by Dorothy in a car. He didn't even have time to pick up his own car.

Dorothy was ordered to take Wang Quan to her parents' house to eat dumplings. In order to facilitate Tao's father's work, the couple lived near Chinatown in Los Angeles.

Dorothy's father, Tao Weilong, is a well-known old Chinese medicine doctor in Los Angeles, and he is also good at kung fu. He captured Wendy's heart with his superb massage skills.

Lao Tao liked Wang Quan very much and taught him all his health-preserving skills and kung fu. However, Wang Quan was not interested in those things at first until he saw Dorothy's grandfather, who was over eighty years old, walking as fast as flying, with white hair and a childlike appearance. , an old man who can also pick up girls.

Tao Weilong learned all his skills from his father Tao Daqi, including a set of health-preserving boxing techniques, a set of muscle-splitting and bone-breaking hands, and a secret recipe for medicinal wine. Tao Weilong had no reservations about his royal power.

Wang Quan didn't dare to drink more of the medicinal wine. He made a mistake after drinking it once. Moreover, he is still single. He has nowhere to vent when he drinks too much. He is the one who feels uncomfortable.

However, that set of health-preserving boxing techniques is really good. The previously thin and tall figure gradually became fuller, and the strength became much stronger. He never got sick again, and a certain ability became particularly outstanding. Megan Fox once expressed her true feelings He once shouted openly that "Made in China is a shame!".

Wang Quan gave them the gifts he bought in China. Tao Weilong looked at the bottles of national wine and started planning to make medicinal wine. Wendy held Wang Quan's hand to express her love for the Suzhou embroidery cheongsam.

In fact, Wendy was not so enthusiastic about the royal power in the past, but she could not be said to be indifferent. It was just the standard Western-style alienation, which could not be compared with Lao Tao's family-like enthusiasm for the royal power.

But today she changed, she became like Yang Mi's mother. She held Wang Quan's hand and greeted him, and even greeted Wang Quan's parents.

Wang Quan knew that the root cause of the change was the great success of "10 Covelo Lane". In Wendy's eyes, those who can make money are good children. In the future, she can safely let Dorothy play with him without worrying about the loss of her family's fortune. All gone.

Wang Quan does not dare to neglect Wendy. Maybe Greenberg Bank will be their main source of funds in the future.

After eating dumplings at noon, Wang Quan called his agent Raffi Feil to inform him that he was back.

The three scripts Wang Quan sold were all sold by Lafite, and he was very satisfied with the price.

Even if you are a screenwriter in Hollywood, it is best to hire an agent, otherwise it will be difficult for your work to enter the field of vision of the film company, of course, except for the famous screenwriters.

At first, Wang Quan did not believe in evil and he was in trouble. Later, Dorothy introduced Lafite to him.

Rafi is Dorothy's cousin and aunt. Dorothy and her aunt disobeyed her father's will and eloped with a man in Sicily, Italy, and then they had Rafi.

As an adult, Rafi returned to Los Angeles to make a living, and Dorothy introduced her cousin to a job as an agent.

Later, Rafi married his cousin Dorothy's agent, a senior female agent who was 14 years older than him and had a child.

Dorothy felt that Lafite was shining, and his operation gave her great courage, so she also had a frank talk with her parents, so that they gave up the idea of ​​having a grandson.

But she knew that her parents had not given up.

On the phone, Lafite told Wang Quan that their family planned to go shopping in Hollywood and Highland Plaza in the afternoon, which happened to be not far from Long Toutou's office, so Wang Quan Dorothy made an appointment with them to have dinner at Highland Plaza in the evening.

Before eating, Dorothy took Wang Quan to the empty company.

The company is located in a ten-story office building in the northwest corner of Hollywood, which is located in the northwest suburbs of Los Angeles. In short, the company is located in the northwest.

Long Toutou is just a small company with not many employees, so it only rents an office area of ​​less than 200 square meters, occupying one-fifth of the sixth floor.

This building is basically filled with independent production companies and supporting companies related to the film and television industry.

As soon as he stood in the elevator, Wang Quan could tell at a glance that the people around him were all typical filmmakers.

Dorothy whispered to Wang Quan in Chinese, "It's also convenient to recruit workers in this area."

Wang Quan nodded. It is indeed convenient for film and television companies to gather together, but not all Hollywood film companies gather together in Hollywood in the narrow sense.

It is true that Hollywood is the birthplace of several major studios, but now Hollywood studios are no longer limited to small Hollywood. At this time, the only first-tier major studio that still sticks to Hollywood is Paramount.

Disney and Warner moved to Burbank, Sony Columbia to Culver City, 20th Century Fox to Beverly Hills, and Universal Pictures to Universal Studios in California.

There are also many companies that choose the beautiful Monica on Santa Beach.

Although they are scattered all over Los Angeles, and some are not even in Los Angeles at all, they are still called Hollywood movies.

However, in New York, films that are mainly literary films and experimental avant-garde films cannot be called Hollywood films. They can only be regarded as American films, which are closer to European films.

When he entered his company, he saw a mess. Dorothy told him, "This used to be an independent film company. It just closed down. There is no need for additional decoration. It can be used by just cleaning it. This office is mine. This office is mine." The time is yours.”

In Los Angeles, the birth and bankruptcy of film companies are very common. When they went to go through the formalities yesterday, they saw two colleagues who were going through the business procedures for a film company.

Pushing away Dorothy's office, she suddenly patted her head, "Oh, I forgot about this."

As she spoke, she took out an invitation from the drawer in her office, "The daughter of the owner of the film company downstairs is getting married. She sent it here yesterday. It was because of this delay that I went to pick you up. Then you can go to the banquet with me. .”

King Quan, "Aren't we very busy?"

Dorothy, "But that company is called Imagine Entertainment, and its boss's name is Ron Howard."

Upon hearing this name, many movie names immediately popped into Wang Quan's mind, such as "The Man with the Iron Fist", "The Grinch", "A Beautiful Mind", "The Good and the Bad", "Unforgiven", "Million Dollar Baby", "Spider-Man 3", "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse", "Jurassic World" and so on.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Boss Tao, I may not be free, so you should go by yourself, I can't go~"
