You don't understand the happiness of the director

This film is finally going to be released. Han Sanping was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally got it.

"The box office of this movie must be one billion!"

Wang Quan, "What is the unit you are talking about?"

"Of course it's Taole!"

Wang Quan shook his head, "My expectation is that the domestic box office will be one billion, and it will be whatever happens abroad."

"Director Quan, how can you compromise your prestige, and this is the 3D blockbuster you are good at!" Han Sanping already basically knew what Wang Quan was going to make. The focus was on Wang Quan's 3D movie, which had swept the global box office!

King Quan, "But this is a Chinese-language film."

This sentence left Han Sanping speechless, and his enthusiastic heart regained some composure. Yes, Chinese-language films. How can it be so easy for foreigners to accept Chinese-language films? It is too difficult for Chinese-language films to go out. The highest box office record for Chinese-language films is Cheng Long. "Zodiac" cost less than 300 million dollars.

Then set a small goal for yourself, Wang Quan’s first Chinese 3D blockbuster, and have fun with him for three hundred million dollars!

While Wang Quan and Han Sanping were chatting, Huang Jianxin came over. He was not only the president of the Directors Association, but also the third most powerful person in the royal society. However, he could guarantee that today's Dragon Head Sweeping the Directors Association Awards had nothing to do with him. Last year's two films The movie is indeed worth it.

He came to Wang Quan to say that, "Vice President, are you really not thinking about it anymore? I'm old, and the position of president will be lost sooner or later."

Huang Jianxin once suggested that Wang Quan be the vice president of the Directors Association. He has already tried it out, and the other vice presidents and secretary-general have no objections. Maybe they have kept their opinions to themselves. In addition to his youth, Wang Quan, no matter from any dimension They are all capable of big responsibilities.

At this time, the Guidance Association had five vice-presidents: Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Li Shaohong, Zhang Jianya, and Chen Guoxing. The secretary-general was He Ping.

Wang Quan didn't feel that he was inferior to any of them, but he still refused, "Director Huang is only in his fifties, and he can still work in this position for at least ten years. There is no rush, and I have never made a Chinese film. I have never earned any honors for Chinese-language films. Now that I am in the position, no one will say anything on their lips, and they will not have any objections in their hearts."

After Wang Quan finished speaking, he glanced at the scene and looked at Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, and Lu Chuan who were on his side and immediately turned around to talk to the people around them.

Lu Chuan, in particular, looked very guilty. When "Avatar" was released at the beginning of the year, he once said, "This is a complete failure that we, Hua Entertainment filmmakers, will collectively witness and collectively be convinced of." Since then, he has become the number one Avatar fan. He brags about his technology and his humanity, but he didn't say a word during the release of "Inception," which is often used as a point of criticism by fans who hate him.

Wang Quan smiled and said, "When I make a few decent Chinese films, I will definitely consider your proposal. Do you like it?"

After hearing what he said, Huang Jianxin said nothing more.

After these two big guys finished talking to Wang Quan, other directors slowly came over to talk to Wang Quan.

Wang Quan has never really been involved in the mainland film industry, but he knows or has heard the names of most of these people. Some of them do have some skills, some have false reputations, but most of them have not kept up with the times. More than a hundred association members are still active in There are only about thirty people in the film industry.

Wang Quan mainly chatted with Ning Hao and Cao Baoping, who were familiar with him.

"The filming of "Racing" is so awesome. I think it surpasses "Stone". Comedies are really not easy to make. I would like to try it if I have the chance." Wang Quan expressed his affirmation to Xiao Ning.

Hearing this, Ning Hao felt a shiver in his heart. He was trying to force me to change my career path. He felt that Wang Quan could definitely make a good comedy. After all, "The Hangover" was written by Wang Quan. It was a very strong script.

"Comedies are very demanding on actors. Some actors have their own sense of humor. Choosing the right actor is very important." Ning Hao shared some of his own experience and insights.

Wang Quan nodded, "Both Huang Bo and Xu Zheng are good actors, but Xu Zheng is a supporting actor in your comedy. I really want to see him play the leading role."

Hearing what Wang Quan said, Ning Hao was really a little bit moved. For example, he had Xu Zheng and Huang Bo play a double male protagonist. He even had some ideas, using the road movie model.

But after thinking about it, I forgot about it. Mr. Han said that he should make a breakthrough and hoped that he could make a bigger film. China Film will fully support him financially and technically. Galloping Horse also said that he is willing to invest in whatever he makes. .

In fact, Ning Hao's wife Xing Aina recently had an idea about the Nian beast. He was wondering if he could expand on that story and make a cheerful monster movie.

Cao Baoping looked happy. With "The Invisible Guest", he has become completely famous. Directing may become his main business next, but the next movie has not yet been announced.

Maybe Wang Quan has more good ideas in his mind, but it would be too embarrassing for him to be a teacher who always troubles his students, so next he plans to select from real cases and literary works to adapt and create.

Wangdao has a copyright department. In addition to purchasing copyrights, it also collects statistics, organizes and summarizes novels, literary works and even social events on the market, and then uploads them to a system. It is also very convenient to search. You can check it yourself when the time comes. You may have the story you want.

Other directors also came to say hello to Wang Quan one after another, and talking to him was as satisfying as a pilgrimage.

After the directors, a few actors had the opportunity to come over. Li Bingbing is an old friend, and Zhang Jingchu has also known her for a long time. Moreover, she also starred in the new film "Drug War" in Jiahe Wangdao. Now she is almost a co-producer of Hong Kong films and mainland China. She is the heroine of the film. She has no problem communicating in Cantonese and has some language talent.

The director of "Drug War" is Lin Chaoxian, but Zhang Jingchu naturally hopes to cooperate with Wang Quan. There are rumors from several channels that he returned to China this time to make a Chinese film. Many people are watching this heroine.

She is keeping an eye on the royal power, Li Bingbing is keeping an eye on her, you little bitch, don’t even think about snatching the power director from my hands!

After the Awards from the Directors Association, Wang Quan and Huang Jianxin returned to the company to prepare for tomorrow's submission of the script. Whether it will pass or not is in the hands of others, but he must be fully prepared.

In Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, 28-year-old Xu Lei returned to his hometown for the New Year and announced a big news to his family, "I resigned!"

The family didn't care. This wasn't Shandong province, so they had to have a stable job with five social insurances and one housing fund. Besides, this kid could make money even if he didn't work. In fact, he was a writer, and he seemed to be quite famous.

Yes, Xu Lei is an online writer. In 2006, a tomb-robbing adventure novel called "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" came out. Xu Lei was very excited after reading it, so he created a fan novel in the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" forum. Unexpectedly, The response has been fantastic.

So he revised the novel, removed the fan elements, and turned it into a brand new novel, which he named "Tomb Robbers Notes". It was successfully published the next year and received royalties, and his pen name was Nanpai Sanshu.

In recent years, he has earned more than one million by publishing the physical book of "Tomb Raider Notes", and he is almost on the rich list of writers.

Although he can live a good life without a job, the cold reaction from his family makes him very disappointed. You can't persuade me or nag me!

Fortunately, grandpa said something at this time, "Then what are you going to do next? Continue writing your novel?"

I'm coming! The third uncle from the Southern School gave a crooked smile, "Maybe I will become a screenwriter. Oh, I forgot to tell you that the film and television adaptation rights of my novel have been sold. Who bought it is kept secret."

If you have to ask...

No one cares who bought it, the family just wants to know how much it was sold for.

After learning that there were seven digits, my parents were very happy, but my daughter-in-law was worried. They all say that men become bad when they are rich~

Forget it, don't ask if you don't ask. I can't tell if I ask, because it was Wangdao Pictures who bought the copyright. Combined with the recent news that Wang Quan has returned to China and is about to start filming a Chinese film, the Southern Third Uncle feels that this is what he wants. That's right.

I heard that Wang Dao also bought a lot of copyrights before, but director Wang Quan remained silent after buying it. He refused to return to China until he bought his own "Tomb Raiders" and began to preview new Chinese films. This is already very revealing.

He stayed up late tonight and wrote an email, listing out his suggestions for the roles of Wu Xie, Xiao Ge, Fatty Wang, etc., and was going to send it to Wangdao Pictures, and expressed his willingness to participate in screenwriting work, no matter the money. It doesn't matter.

In order to find actors who fit his and the readers' minds, he has been studying the entertainment industry all night long recently. He has met many male stars and feels that the entertainment industry is really fun.

At the film bureau, cousin Xu Yi was waiting for her at the door to explain some things to her.

Today Wang Quan came with Huang Jianxin, and the bureau also attached great importance to this meeting.

When other people's scripts are submitted for review, they only need a summary of the script, and they can just hand it in and wait for the letter to come home. But Wang Quan is different. He needs to be treated with special measures.

Wang Quan himself was demanding and brought over the complete script, shooting format, promotion plan, and even subsequent development ideas. After reading it, you will know how big this project is.

And not only the leaders of the bureau are here, but Mr. Han from China Film Group is also here, ready to support Xiao Wang, and people from higher-level units are also here. If feasible, the relevant departments will provide strong support and provide every convenience they can. Let King Power release this Chinese masterpiece as soon as possible.

Xu Yi joked that this was going to be a "three court trial" for you kid.

Wang Quan is not nervous, because he has a way out. If this project doesn't work, he has a plan B. If plan B doesn't work, I will go back to Hollywood and work hard.

"Dear leaders, this is the script plan I submitted." Wang Quan handed over the thick script, and saw three big characters "Ghost Blowing Lamp" written on it, and "Ghost Blowing Lamp" was followed by the word "3D".

Seeing 3D, the superiors' eyes lit up. Great, Chinese-language films can finally have a 3D blockbuster. This will be very helpful in attracting audiences to the cinema!

But the first thing the leaders of the bureau saw was the word "ghost". Well, this word is not very good.

He would not reject the script of King Quan just because of one word, but would it be safer if it were replaced by "crafty".

"Is it just one script?" asked the superior. There were more than ten people reviewing the script on site.

Wang Quan immediately asked Clara to take out the other copies, one set for each person, and read them slowly.

Clara was dressed more modestly today, but her beautiful legs in black stockings still made several young people present a little uneasy. Is a female secretary next to Director Wang so impressive?

The script begins with a first-person narration by the male protagonist Hu Bayi. It opens with the plot of paper-tying a bride. Several reviewers frowned. The title was just that, why are you really a ghost? This is too much!

But after this episode, we returned to Hu Bayi's timeline. It turned out that he went to serve as a soldier, and he was talking to his comrades in the car, telling anecdotes about his grandfather Hu Guohua, because the paper-tied bride is an oral narrative that exists in the movie. story, so it doesn’t really count as a ghost.

After paper-tying the bride, he told another story about a money-stealing rat. The third story involved his grandfather's encounter with an expert and his acquisition of the "Sixteen-Character Feng Shui Secret Technique".

After three stories, about 10 pages have passed.

There are knowledgeable people here. I heard that in Hollywood movie scripts, a one-page script is a one-minute plot. Wang Quan spent ten minutes telling the story of his grandfather Hu Guohua through Hu Bayi's mouth. Isn't it a bit much?

But when I turned to the back, my dear, it’s 200 pages!

After taking a closer look, it turned out that the last quarter was not the script of the movie, but the subsequent adaptation ideas and shooting plans.

This man touched the superior leader Sun Ju, who immediately started to look through the back.

He also knew about the novel "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp", and he had heard early on that the copyright had been bought by Wang Dao, so he had speculated whether Wang Quan's first Chinese film would be "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp", but he always felt that tomb robbing was a thing The style is not high, and Director Sun would rather Wang Quan make some historical blockbusters, or sci-fi blockbusters and disaster movies that are rare in the country.

In the next fifty pages, Wang Quan wrote the complete plan for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

He will change it into the Ghost Blowing Lantern trilogy based on the four parts: Jingjue Ancient City, Longling Mysterious Grottoes, Yunnan Worm Valley, and Kunlun Temple.

The first part is about an ancient city that is cursed (poisoned).

The second part weakens the Longling Mysterious Cave and takes Yunnan Worm Valley as the main subject. The main line is to search for the Muchen Bead.

The third part of Kunlun Temple is to lift the curse (detoxification).

Then there will be a sequel trilogy based on the original content created by Nanhai Guixu, Wuxia Coffin Mountain, Wang Quan and the original author Tian Xia Ba Chang. Of course, this is based on the success of the main trilogy.

These three parts mainly introduce the four major factions of tomb robbers. Feng Xuewu (Professor Sun), who has appeared in the main trilogy, will be the main villain throughout the sequel trilogy.

The sequel will also have a more international vision. If the first three parts can have a certain impact internationally, then the sequel trilogy will invite Hollywood stars to join in, and the tomb robbing adventure may no longer be limited to the country.

"Nu Qingxiang Xiang", which is outside the main plot, will film a side story. The protagonist team may guest star, starring Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others from the tomb robbing team of the Republic of China.

"Huang Pi Zi Tomb" will film a prequel. In the main trilogy, Wang Quan omitted the part of going to the mountains and countryside to jump in line, which can be shown in "Huang Pi Zi Tomb". His plan is to use younger new actors when the time comes.

If Nuqing Xiangxi and Huangpizifen are successful, it may be possible to make sequels. One focuses on the tomb robbing style of the Republic of China, and the other focuses on juvenile adventure, expanding into the Ghost Blowing Lantern universe!
