You don't understand the happiness of the director

Seeing the beginning of "I seem to have found your son", Guo Gangtang's heartbeat only accelerated slightly.

He has heard too many such claims over the years, most of them ended up in vain, and some were simply money scams, but he still fell for it every time.

It was still the same this time. Even if the clue was false, he would still give it a try, but he would leave no possibility unturned.

This comment was a bit long, so he continued reading.

"My home is in a village in Linzhou, Henan Province. I just finished reading "The Lost Orphan" and was very moved by your story of finding your son, so I want to tell you some clues I know.

"My brother's primary school classmate was born in 1995 like him. Although I can't remember clearly, my parents said that he suddenly appeared in our village when my brother was two years old..."

In 1995, he was two years old, that is, in 1997, which was the time when his son Guo Xinzhen was abducted!

Guo Gangtang's heart beat a few times and he continued reading, "His family is quite wealthy in our village, but his parents are a bit old. He has two sisters. The eldest sister is about twenty years older than him, and the second sister is more than 20 years older than him. He's a few years older, and his parents are very good to him. The only one who orders milk in our village is their family, and only he drinks it. His second sister doesn't get this treatment."

There are two daughters in the family, but they cannot give birth to a son. This is also the most obvious characteristic of many families who buy children. They firmly believe that only sons can continue the family line, even if they are not of their blood.

According to Lao Guo's experience, these buyers usually treat the children they bought better than their own biological daughters. In this way, even if the children grow up, even if they know that they are not the biological children of the family, the emotional investment of more than ten or twenty years will still be felt. It also makes it difficult for them to let go of this abnormal family relationship.

If this child is really Zhenzhen of his family, Lao Guo can almost imagine who the child will be closer to after ten years of companionship and care. His heart aches when he thinks of this.

He continued to read, and this comment also said, "I remember very clearly that there was a small fleshy ball behind his ear. When my brother and they were playing together, I also saw the burn scars on the toes and the top of his left foot. Like you The description is exactly the same. If you can trust me, please send me a private message and I will give you an address and contact information.

"Oh, and also, when he was a child, he always used inverted sentences for no apparent reason."

Guo Gangtang's heart was beating wildly. This time it was so true. He immediately sent a private message to the other party. He thought he would have to pay some financial price, but the other party directly sent an address, with details down to the house number, and also provided contact information. .

The other party also said: Our family is from this village, so I cannot tell my true identity. I hope my uncle can understand.

Guo Gangtang hurriedly copied the address and the other person's comments, and then deleted them to protect the other person.

Unexpectedly, it is in the next province, only about 200 kilometers away. I have passed through Anyang several times, but I have never been to Linzhou.

He wanted to rush over to verify it now, but if it was true, could he take the child away? There was a place to protect every place. If he could run to the other party's territory alone, would he not even be able to see the child?

Just as he was thinking about it, Director Wang Quan called him, and he actually received a private message from the anonymous person.

"Lao Guo, I think this time it's very real. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"certainly!"

Wang Quan said, "Well, let me ask my driver to accompany you. He has served as a soldier and is very skilled. If you are beaten again, at least you will have a helper."

Lao Guo laughed, because it is common to get beaten when looking for children, "But this is too troublesome for you."

"It's no trouble. You guys go to the ground first. If what this person says is true, let the police help with the investigation. After all, you are also a celebrity now, and the police will pay enough attention to you." Wang Quan suggested.

Lao Guo nodded, and Wang Quan gave him Xiao Wei's contact information and asked them to meet in Linzhou.

After settling this matter, Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief. In half a year, it should be settled.

"Orphans" is still in theaters, and it has received 15.5 million box office in two days, which is quite a miracle for this subject.

There was also a high degree of discussion both online and offline. The audience was moved by the protagonist and the archetypal character’s ten-year search for a child, especially the sentence “Only on the road will you feel worthy of your child.” That is the original character of Lao Guo, the archetypal character. These words are also the motivation for him to insist on riding to find his son. These words resonate with countless parents.

However, the inherent sadness of the subject matter still deterred many viewers. By Monday, the number of viewers was much smaller, and there were only a few people during the day.

Chen Kexin is in Shanghai, promoting "The Legend", Li Lienjie is filming "The Mummy 3", Xu Jinglei is filming "Shinjuku Incident", Andy also has to take care of the promotion of "The Lost Orphan", so he and Jin Cheng Wu became the main publicity force of "Tou Ming Zhuan".

Andy is obviously more concerned about "The Orphan" because after all, it is a film in which he plays the leading role, and in "The Proposal", he can only be regarded as the third male lead.

After watching "Lost Orphan", Chen Kexin's heart finally fell to the ground.

He does not deny that this is an excellent commercial film. The script is well-written and worthy of being written by Wang Quan himself. The director is also very capable and worthy of being the president of the Directors Association. However, he is in the hottest movie theater in Shanghai. There are almost no one. Judging from the market response, maybe 50 to 60 million is the end point of this movie.

Waiting for the release of his "Report" in 12 days will not affect his box office at all.

This time I have assembled three major superstars and one four-star actress. Although there was "Old Orphan" before and "Assembly" after, the latter is a modern war movie and there are no stars, so you don't need to worry about it at all.

"Lost Orphan" did make him have some concerns. After all, the star cast is very strong. Now that he sees the market performance, he has dispelled his concerns.

As a result, Chen Kexin's box office expectations for "The Movie" have been greatly increased. He hopes to surpass this year's "Transformers" and reach the 300 million mark!

If we have better luck, it would be even better if we can surpass the 360 ​​million of "Titanic". By then, I will be the number one Chinese director!

But in fact, Chen Kexin has higher expectations for himself. He hopes that he can also make some famous names in Hollywood, just like Li Yi and Wang Quan.

Now in the Hong Kong film circle, Liu Weiqiang has become the object of ridicule because he had previously revealed in interviews that he rejected Wang Quan's director invitation.

The movie he rejected now is called "Purge", written by Wang Quan himself, and has already grossed 60 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America. It is another classic example of using a small amount to make a big difference.

However, another film that Liu Weiqiang accepted after rejecting this film turned out to be a mess, and in the end he didn't even want to sign his name.

However, Chen Kexin envied Liu Weiqiang very much. Because his "Infernal Affairs" became famous at home and abroad, Hollywood companies also rushed to invite him, which was something she could only hope to achieve.

Now that Chen Kexin has shot this super Chinese-language blockbuster that cost 40 million U.S. dollars, she also hopes to be noticed by Hollywood. Even if it is noticed by the royal power and invited to film in Hollywood, that would be great.

He doesn't care about working for a junior, as long as he can gain fame and fortune.

The next day, the box office of "Orphan" was released on Monday, with 3.8 million, and the total box office is about to exceed 20 million.

Huayi Brothers Company is currently working on "Assembly Number" from top to bottom. Their schedule is after "Tou Ming Zhuan", so they do not regard "Lost Orphan" at the beginning of the month as an imaginary enemy. "Tou Ming Zhuan" is the biggest concern.

However, Feng Xiaogang is still paying close attention to "Orphans". When he saw Monday's box office, he asked the Wang brothers, "Have we overestimated the power of the king? With Andy Lau and so many stars participating, plus he wrote the screenplay himself, the box office is good." It looks like he can’t even pass 100 million.”

Wang Zhongjun said, "It may also have something to do with the scale of distribution. There are only more than 300 copies. And for this kind of subject matter, this result is considered acceptable."

Wang Zhongjun thought to himself: People can make back their money at the domestic box office by shooting niche themes like this, but Lao Feng can lose money by shooting costume blockbusters in the mainland. The gap is still very obvious.

At this time, Wang Zhonglei looked at the computer and suddenly said, "Good guy, how shameless!"

"What's wrong?"

Wang Zhonglei read to the two of them, "According to our reporter, two days after the release of "Orphans", an insider revealed the parent-child information to the prototype character Guo Gangtang after watching the movie. Now Guo Gangtang has found the place, met the child, and said That child is probably his abducted son Guo Gangtang, thank you to "Lost Orphan", thank you to Mr. Wang Quan... Please continue to pay attention to Sina Entertainment for follow-up reports!"

Feng Xiaogang, "Isn't this just hype?"

Wang Zhonglei, "It's obviously just a hype. It's just a movie. People have been looking for it for ten years and still haven't found it. You found it just two days after the movie was released. What a coincidence. It must be to stimulate box office hype."

Wang Zhongjun looked at the computer and said, "After a random search, several news items are talking about this matter. I don't know when the authenticity will be confirmed."

Wang Zhonglei sneered, "I guess there won't be any results after the movie is finished, and then it will be settled."

Feng Xiaogang, "I didn't run away just to sell more tickets. This is obviously Qiankun Laowang's style. Mr. Wang, you have to think about the publicity points of "Assembly" by then. This time it must be better than "The World" "No Thieves"!"

This news is indeed powerful, and the box office of "Orphan" climbed to 4.1 million on Tuesday.

With the news that the prototype of "Lost Orphan" has made significant progress in finding a son, the name of "Lost Orphan" can be seen in the entertainment and social pages. Andy Lau's appearance in the film has also frequently appeared in newspapers, magazines, and even TV news.

Countless domestic media poured into Linzhou. At first, many people thought it was hype and couldn't believe that a movie could have such power.

However, Guo Gangtang said in an interview that the other party contacted him after watching the movie, but the other party was unwilling to reveal his identity, possibly because he was afraid of retaliation.

Later, the local police in Linzhou also came forward to issue a statement. They had indeed found the child suspected of being Guo Xinzhen. The other person's adoptive parents were also under control and were waiting for DNA test results.

According to the confession of the child's adoptive parents, Hu and Tang, suspected of abduction, have also been arrested and controlled in another place. Even if the child is not named Guo, it can be concluded that he is a trafficked child.

As a result, the box office of "Orphan" was 4.5 million on Wednesday, 4.8 million on Thursday, 7.5 million on Friday, and 8.9 million on Saturday, which actually exceeded the first day's box office!

Sunday was higher than Saturday, with the box office reaching 58.2 million in two weeks!

Wang Qiankun of Qiankun Pictures said in an interview with the media, "This is a very happy thing. Our company has decided to add another 100 copies. I hope Lao Guo will have a good result. In fact, many families who buy children have people around them. Relatives, friends, and even neighbors in the same village are all aware of the incident. I hope this film can spread more widely and be seen by more people, so that more people who know the truth can discover the truth and actively cooperate with the police."

With the increase in copies and the fact that "Lost Orphan" has become a hot news event, even CCTV's evening news also followed up the report. On Monday, the box office of "Lost Orphan" reached an astonishing 6.3 million, compared with just over 3 million in the same period last week.

Chen Kexin was a little panicked at this time. Based on the conscience of a new father, he certainly hoped that the child would really be the prototype character, but as a competitor, he also hoped that the DNA result would be "no".

He is very troubled. His hugely expensive war action blockbuster will not be sunk by a small-cost realistic theme, right?

No way, no way!

At this time, Wang Quan had flown back to Los Angeles. Before leaving, he had explained the donation to Chen Chuling, but asked to keep a low profile.

If a reality-themed movie makes money, it must be donated. Then many investors may be deterred and just stop filming the head office. I don't want to think of this bad guy. This is similar to the principle of "Zigong redeems people".

Don't raise moral standards to a level that ordinary people can't reach. That will only make kind-hearted people give up on morality. Therefore, the donation is in his personal name and represents his feelings for Lao Guo. It has nothing to do with whether the movie is profitable or not.

The money was not donated to Lao Guo alone, but in the hope that he would set an example by setting up a charity organization to help people find children.

Like many people who have helped him in the past ten years, the organization mainly provides fees for DNA testing and comparison. When facial recognition technology matures in the future, it will be easier to find the child.

Wang Quan will not stay long when he returns to Los Angeles this time. He is organizing his team and preparing to go to India for filming.

At this time, there is also good news for "The Hangover". The Hangover in its second week of release defeated the fantasy masterpiece "The Golden Compass" starring Nicole Kidman and costing $180 million in its first week of release.

"The Hangover" took in $33 million at the box office the next weekend, with a cumulative box office of $112 million in two weeks, while "The Golden Compass" only grossed $25 million in its first weekend. This time it may be a big loss. This incident once again proves that women What are the risks of celebrities resisting the box office?

In the villa in Beverly Hills, Wang Quan and Gadot watched the Bay Area Golden Horse Awards in the bathtub. "Lust, Caution" became the biggest winner, taking home the best picture, best director, best actor, and best actor. Seven awards including New Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Costume, and Best Original Music.

Fan Bingbing also won the Best Supporting Actress for "The Ghost in My Heart". This movie also gave Yu Feihong the confidence to pass the review. There is also a ghost in her film.

However, the news that "Lust, Caution" won the award did not cause any waves in the mainland, because the results of the DNA comparison between Guo Gangtang and the target child came out, and the national media watched the news. Even CCTV sent reporters to block outside the testing institution. Waiting for the results, this scene can be said to be attracting nationwide attention.

The results did not disappoint the people across the country. The results proved that it was in line with the laws of genetics and the probability of paternity was greater than 99.99%, supporting the parent-child relationship!
