You don't understand the happiness of the director

After all, Wang Quan and Mimi didn't do anything too outrageous in the car, and it was troublesome to clean the car. The two stopped in front of the last line of defense, and then started chatting in the pink atmosphere.

"How are you, are you ready to become an international actress?" Wang Quan pinched Mimi~'s cheek.

"Oh, my English is slipping away now."

"Then let's check your English in bed." Wang Quan nodded her nose.

"Brother, have you returned to China after filming "Twilight"?"

Wang Quan said, "Well, when the time comes, I will go back to China to finalize the project for my first Chinese-language film, and then while preparing for the preliminary preparations, I will return here to do the post-production of "Twilight"."

Twilight 4 is expected to be released in June, and it is a 3D movie, so the workload is quite tight.

"Although you said I have no role as the heroine, if you need a guest role, just say so. I'm always available." Mimi arched her head into Wang Quan's arms, looking well-behaved.

Wang Quan nodded, "By the way, why haven't you seen Zhang Zilin?" Wang Quan asked casually, wasn't she the second female lead?

The soft-spoken Yang Mi immediately became alert, her eyes gleaming, "What are you doing? The old love is unforgettable! It was different the first time!"

Wang Quan, "No, I just saw Huang Xiaoming and casually asked why you are so nervous."

Yang Mi snorted, "I don't know who is nervous."

Then she explained, "She won't be free until the premiere. She seems to have gone to New York to attend some fashion event. Her acting skills are too poor, so it's probably not easy for her to get a role."

"Oh, you have such a low opinion of her?"

Yang Mi, "No, it's just an objective evaluation. I like Sister Zi Lin very much. She is a very nice person, but her vocal skills are really bad. After all, she is not a professional."

Wang Quan nodded, and there was nothing wrong with saying that, so it was a bit embarrassing for Senior Sister Yinyin to break into the entertainment industry. She couldn't really take the route of beating up women. It was so hard.

Next, Wang Quan took Yang Mi home to her new home. "Are you and Gadot really separated?" she asked.

"Why, I don't like how shabby this place is, and I won't live here forever. Why would I buy something so expensive?"

"It's also very good, but it's really not as good as the original manor. I have to go to Gadot's place tomorrow. I'm a little jealous of her heated indoor swimming pool."

Wang Quan carried her to bed, "Okay, go in the morning and attend the "Avatar" premiere with me in the afternoon."

Yang Mi worriedly said, "But I only prepared a dress for the twelve zodiac signs~"

"Don't worry, I'll ask Li Xian to borrow it for you."

The next morning, Yang Mi went to find Gadot by herself. Wang Quan went back to the company. At noon, he went to pick up Yang Mi, put on clothes and make-up, and prepared to go to the premiere of "Avatar".

Yang Mi was a little confused, "Why is Gadot pregnant? I thought she was putting on weight!"

She spent a long time with Gadot and was so shocked that she even wanted to give birth to Brother Quan's first child!

My eldest son!

Wang Quan was a little proud, "Everyone is so healthy. As long as you do more, you will always get pregnant."

Yang Mi glanced at Wang Quan and said, "Brother, you are too scumbag. You dumped her when she was pregnant. You, you, you, hurry up and make Liu Yifei's belly bigger!"

Royal power, "..."

He sighed, "I can only say that Gadot is an amazing woman. She was afraid that I would be tied down by the baby in her belly and didn't want me to be embarrassed, so she broke up first and then told me about the baby."

Yang Mi asked, "Then will you choose to stay in Hollywood because of this child?"

Wang Quan thought for a while, then shook his head, "No, but I may force her to take the child back to the country with me, but she may not be happy then, so it is not as good as now. It may not be satisfactory, but it is already the best. Got it."

Yang Mi sighed silently, feeling that just with this move, Gadot's position in Brother Quan's heart would be difficult to shake. On the surface, she lost her identity as King Quan's girlfriend and even his wife, but she gained Brother Quan's eternal apology and respect. She won She was numb, which made it even more difficult for herself and Liu Yifei to catch up with her.

On the red carpet at the premiere, Wang Quan met DiCaprio, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. After "Inception", his salary had reached the maximum. He had no interest in ordinary commercial films. He just wanted to win an Oscar, so he became more and more concerned about his image. The less I care about it, I feel like I have gained ten pounds more than during the promotion period of Inception. This kind of body shape is suitable for playing a hunter in the wilderness and carrying hunger.

The previous trailers of "Avatar" had been spread everywhere thanks to powerful marketing machines. Yang Mi had also seen it, so she was no stranger to the blue Avatar image that appeared at the premiere. Instead, it was Wang Quan's female worker wearing Avatar makeup. The personnel were in a trance, looking at each other, then at Yang Mi, and then showed a weird smile.

The movie is still the same. Wang Quan has watched it too many times in the film and television library, and it is no longer as amazing as it was at the beginning. However, I still have to say that the groundbreaking of this movie is of historical significance.

Moreover, it can tell a simple and even clichéd story so solidly and firmly attract the audience through visual spectacle. The success of this film is inevitable.

Yang Mi was speechless while watching the movie. She was so shocked. No wonder Brother Quan said that the 3D effects and special effects of Avatar far surpassed that of "Inception". It indeed looked more stunning, more colorful and smoother.

Of course, this smoothness is because the plot is simple and does not require a lot of thinking. Even though Wang Quan has simplified and popularized the dream stealing thing, any movie related to dreams is not particularly popcorn, and the mind always needs to be turned around, so Naturally, it is not as smooth as this alien rape story.

When the visual impact of Avatar dissipates from her mind, Yang Mi will come back to her senses. This plot is so familiar. Isn't this "Dances with Wolves"? But that is necessary Time and some sense.

Like "Inception", the applause after the movie was long-lasting and stopped after Cameron took the stage and bowed several times. The audience was obviously shocked, even if they had watched "Inception" "Space", I was really amazed by this brand new world and species.

And just like Cameron made an important speech at the premiere of "Inception", Wang Quan was also asked by host Oprah to express his emotions.

Wang Quan stood up and said, "When I go back, I will prepare a congratulatory poster for "Avatar" topping the box office. It's incredible. This is a fantastic journey."

This evaluation is also very high. It is said that "Avatar" can surpass the box office record in North American film history just broken by "Inception".

Cameron smiled and expressed his gratitude, and Oprah asked, "Can you predict the box office of this movie?"

"At least 2 billion!" Wang Quan said, he was talking about the world. "The current global box office of "Inception" is 1.74 billion, so I will guess 2.74 billion."

"Ouch!" The whole audience was shocked.

This prediction is too bold!

The current global box office of film history, the first place is "Titanic" with 1.84 billion dollars, the second place is 1.74 billion dollars with "Inception" (currently in theaters), Wang Quan directly guessed 2.74 billion dollars, raising the highest record by a whole Nine billion!

And 900 million can be ranked among the top ten in film history!

Yang Mi glanced at Wang Quan, "Brother Quan is so good, even he knows that he will be killed for flattery!"

The media present took notes one after another, today’s headlines are here!

Cameron also looked at Wang Quan with gratitude, "I recognize this brother, you are really flattering!"

Wang Quan: I just read the real box office data from another time and space.

However, this is indeed an assist given to Cameron by Wang Quan. Others may be exaggerating, being polite, or flattering when others predict this, but Wang Quan, as the first person to create a new era of 3D movies, said this , so those who fell in love with 3D movies because of him had their expectations for "Avatar" instantly raised countless times.

His words may be worth tens of millions of dollars in publicity fees. This is an endorsement.

On the same day, King Quan praised Cameron's "Avatar" highly, and news spread around the world that it predicted that the box office would surpass "Inception" by one billion.

Especially in mainland China, expectations for "Avatar" are higher. Unfortunately, the mainland's release time is more than half a month later than abroad, and it will have to wait until next year.

It is estimated that the relevant departments feel that the mainland box office in 2009 has been hot enough, and they need to leave some room for growth in 10 years. If the two blockbuster 3D movies are all released in 2009, if the total box office drops next year, it will not dampen the enthusiasm of the film industry. .

The happiest person who couldn't be released at the same time is Ning Hao. The release date of "Avatar" abroad is the same as the release period of "Crazy Racing" in the mainland.

He was still very worried at first. He had three large-scale commercial blockbusters before him, and his dream of a box office of over 100 million would probably come to naught. But now, the reputation of the three movies is very bad, and only "Three Guns" has the strength of Director Zhang. The appeal has achieved good box office results, and the other two opponents are no longer to be feared.

And I am no longer the newcomer Ning Hao from the "Stone" period. I am the director Ning who won the grand prize in Berlin. Moreover, the male protagonist of the film is the Berlin+Golden Horse Best Actor, and he has the support of China Film Group Corporation, so he is not without the ability to fight!

He had just had a drink with a group of theater chain bosses to work hard on arranging the next films, including him, Kunye and Wang Qiankun. Kunye said that before the release of "Twelve Zodiac Signs", Dawang Cinemas will fully support "Twelve Zodiac Signs". "Racing". In addition, he also made the decision for Golden Harvest Cinema and also supported it.

Seeing what Wang Qiankun meant, he wanted to recruit Ning Hao. Unfortunately, Ning Hao had already met the Ming Master. One of the investors in "No Man's Land", Pony Galloping boss Gou Ge, was very kind to him, making it difficult for him to propose separate.

Another point is, what is the difference between working under Master Kun and working under Wang Quan? As one of the two absolute prides, not working for Wang Quan is his last stubbornness.

After attending the premiere of "Avatar", Yang Mi followed Cheng Long and others and began to frequently appear on programs to promote "Zodiac". Wang Quan also got busy with business. The next day, he and Dorothy met with Netflix CEO Reed ·Hastings side.

Hastings is indeed a very ambitious entrepreneur. Making money is important, but it is not that important to him. His first project before Netflix sold hundreds of millions, which is great.

So he is not short of money, what he wants is a sense of career fulfillment, so when he heard that a traditional Hollywood film company wanted to acquire him, Reed Hastings wanted to politely say goodbye.

It wasn't until Wang Quan said, "You know YouTube, I'm one of the founders," that Hastings became energetic and prepared to have a good chat with this rich young director.

Wang Quan understands the Internet, at least the development trend of the Internet in the past ten years. He has watched a lot of documentaries in the 2020s, many of which talked about the miracle of Netflix’s stock price. A company with a market value of only 3 billion now can finally achieve the highest level. 300 billion market value, thus changing the landscape of Hollywood.

He has deeply studied the past, present and future of Netflix, as well as Hastings, an indispensable leader in the development of Netflix, so every word of King Quan speaks to Hastings's heart.

Next, he must make a choice between streaming media and DVD rental business. All shareholders and company partners do not advise him to do this, but Wang Quan feels that he should completely invest in streaming media. The DVD business has no future, and this is exactly Hastings thought.

Wang Quan even prophetically concluded that as Netflix’s streaming business develops better and better, the film and TV producers that provide him with content will have a chokehold. At this time, a company that can continue to provide Netflix High-quality content, and even production companies that customize it according to Netflix's requirements, are particularly important.

Wang Quan has watched a lot of Netflix movies and TV series. The TV series are good and there are always surprises, but the movies are really hard to describe. This shows that Netflix is ​​not professional in the field of production. They often invest huge sums of money, but the products they produce are all the same. A big-budget online movie.

If the two companies merge into one, Netflix's shortcomings can be filled, and its future achievements may be even higher.

The conversation on the first day ended here. Wang Quan would not return to the set for two days. The next day, they made an appointment with Longtou Company to continue the conversation.

On the third day, Wang Quan was going to attend the premiere of "Zodiac". After he finished his work, he met Hastings for the last time. This time, Wang Quan was even more heart-to-heart. Even Dorothy didn't know about the Two-Yue-Two Fund. Only then did Hastings learn that Wang Quan was already a heavyweight shareholder of Netflix.

But this is obviously not enough. What King Quan needs is a closer cooperative relationship between Long Toutou and Netflix.

Hastings is also worried that if Netflix becomes a subsidiary of Longtou, it will become a thorn in the side of other Hollywood giants early.

On this point, Wang Quan also gave him reassurance. Many of Er Yue Er's heavyweight clients were top figures from the Big Six.

However, Hastings' concerns are reasonable. During the development period, there is no need to be too public, so the idea of ​​a comprehensive acquisition can be put on hold for the time being, but the idea of ​​​​merging the two companies into one has been determined.

After all, it is a cooperation between billions and more than 10 billion large companies, and there is a lot of follow-up work. Wendy and Dorothy will continue to contact Hastings and his team.

Wang Quan is not afraid of Hastings skipping orders. Without Netflix, HULU is his alternative, but HULU's foundation is weaker, and it is just harder.

The next day, Wang Quan did not disturb Mimi, who had worked hard all night, and prepared to return to the Twilight crew for the final filming.

Just when Wang Quan opened Yang Mi's room and was about to leave, he happened to see Zhang Zilin dressed in sportswear preparing for morning exercises...
