You don't understand the happiness of the director

Today's Chinese-language films have won three gold medals, but the golden rooster is poorly placed. The golden statues are limited to Hong Kong films, so the golden horse is the most powerful. After Li Bingbing won the golden horse, he felt more confident when he was tied with the four major actresses.

In fact, this is not the first time that Liu Yifei has been nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actress. She was nominated once for "Heard" two years ago, but that was because she was filming a Bay Area movie, which has a certain tendency towards local protectionism. , and everyone knows that she is unlikely to win the award that time, but the Golden Horse also needs her popularity.

But this time is different. Her acting skills in "Human Fireworks" are even more recognized. Not to mention the honor of being the best actress in Venice, the box office of this movie in the mainland has exceeded 100 million, and the momentum is not decreasing. The recent single-day box office even exceeded the super The commercial blockbuster "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" can be said to be a very classic work in the eyes of the industry and ordinary audiences.

With such works as a foundation, Liu Yifei is more confident to win the award.

Yang Mi directly handed the phone to Liu Yifei who was beside her. It turned out that they were in the same car.

"Ah, is it true, I don't know yet?" Liu Yifei turned on the speakerphone so that Yang Mi could hear it.

Wang Quan, "I also have some acquaintances in the Wanwan film industry. This news will not be announced until tomorrow."

Liu Yi Fei is very happy to be shortlisted again. She likes the snacks at Taipei night markets. It would be great if they could invite Mi Mi to present the awards this time. Then they can ask Chen Yanxi to accompany them and have a good time together.

"Who are the finalists?" Liu Yifei asked.

Wang Quan recalled, "There are you, Xu Fan in "Tangshan Earthquake", Tang Wei in "Moon Full Hennessy", and Teacher Arya in "The Invisible Guest"."

It's very interesting that Lu Liping ("Cool Youth"), who won the award in the original space, was blocked from the nomination, so it is really a bit suspenseful who will win the final award.

Afterwards, Wang Quan asked them what fun and delicious food they could find in Jiangyin.

Liu Yifei said that she would take Mi Mi to eat puffer fish tomorrow, while Yang Mi wanted to visit Huaxi Village and learn the advanced management experience of the No. 1 village in the world.

Wang Quan smiled and said: "Mimi, when you eat puffer fish, you must let Sissi eat it first. Make sure it's not poisonous before you eat it. Sissi is very experienced in food poisoning."

Liu Yifei, "..."

Sure enough, you can't pick mushrooms randomly outside, and he kept talking about it once you missed it.

In the evening, Nazha opened the door and came in. She asked first, "Is there anyone else?"

Wang Quan laughed and hugged her, "What are you thinking about? I'm only good with you in this crew."

Nazha: "Where's your Kimchi assistant?"

Wang Quan: "I am only friendly with you two."

Wang Quan took up one Sunday for the rest of the filming, but it was not for nothing. He would pay it back later. When he returned to Beijing to attend the school anniversary, they would film it together for two days in a row. Wang Quan called this "restoring time off"~

Everyone is very happy. In two days, we can visit more beautiful places in Xijiang and have more time to spend money. They said: We love the time off!

Wang Quan finished work on the 22nd and started to rush to the capital. He first drove to the nearest airport, and then took a private plane back to the capital. Moreover, he took Naza, the three assistant directors, Xiao Yang and others away with him. Everyone was from Beijing. As for the three leading actors, two are in the middle and one is in the show, so just stay here.

Nazha was very disappointed. It was the first time she had sex with her brother on his private jet, but there were other people present, so she could only pretend that she was not familiar with her brother, and she didn't even have a chance to visit his bedroom.

It was already late at night when we returned to Beijing. For the convenience of everyone, we booked a room in a hotel next to the airport and went back to school together after dawn.

Because it was too late, Wang Quan did not bother Nazha. The two slept in two rooms respectively. After only four hours of sleep, Nazha did not take off her makeup in order to sleep a little longer. When you get in the car, you don't need to dress up formally.

The Beijing Film Academy was founded in 1950. At that time, it was called the Institute of Performing Arts. It can be seen that performance was the core of the school from the beginning.

In 1952, the departments of colleges and universities across the country were restructured. Teachers and equipment from the Film Broadcasting Specialty Department of Jinling University, the Audiovisual Education Specialty Department of Sunan Culture and Education College, and the Animation Specialty Department of Suzhou Fine Arts College were transferred to the capital. The school that cultivated acting talents became a comprehensive institution.

In 1956, the name was officially changed to Beijing Film Academy, and the school was located in Xiaoxitian, Xinjiekou Waijie Street.

When you get outside the school, you can see the school's sixty-year transformation process as you walk through the door.

"Senior, please sign here."

There were too many celebrities and famous directors here today, and they needed new students to guide and serve them. Basically, freshmen from grade 09 and grade 10 were doing the work. After Nazha separated from Wang Quan, she quickly found her classmates and started working.

The person who guided Wang Quan was a 10th-level boy named Li Xian. He was as big as Wang Quan. He had two dimples in his smile. The young man had quick eyes and quick hands. He caught Wang Quan from the crowd at a glance, and then he started to work diligently, just to get the sentence "What do you call me junior?" ah?"

Wang Quan, I didn't ask, I didn't ask. After finally entering, I said "thank you" to him, and then hurriedly ran to my teacher Xie Fei, "Teacher, I found you, let's take a walk."

During the school anniversary event, the performance department is definitely the most lively. There are famous and unknown people. Wherever a few people go, the stars are shining brightly. Unlike the directing department, there are only a few students in the department. There have been no students for several years, and there are no students in each class. The fewer people there are, the fewer people will be able to work in this industry in the end. Many people have left the film industry, so they are embarrassed to come to the school anniversary.

Teacher Xie told Wang Quan that of the 25 students in his class, only 15 could come today, and two of them decided to come after hearing that Wang Quan was coming.

Wang Quan sighed, it had only been three years since graduation, and many people had already completely left this industry.

When they arrived at the classroom assigned to them, the first thing Wang Quan saw was Umekawa Hideo. This guy made a special trip from Tokyo two days ago, of course, to meet Wang Quan, the big boss.

"Twilight 4" Wang Quan didn't follow the global promotion, so naturally he didn't have time to go to Tokyo. They hadn't seen each other for almost a year.

Meichuan is considered a successful person among his classmates, but he understands that this is all due to his old classmate Wang Quan.

Now the Tokyo branch of Dragon Head Head is developing well. The biggest business is the distribution of Dragon Head Head. With more than a dozen movies every year, it can compete with the weakest two of Japan's top five film companies. The head office has also been supporting Tokyo. Branch expansion.

In addition, the company's three or four self-produced live-action movies every year are occasionally hits. "White Rabbit Candy", "Little Forest", and the copyrights of several novels by Keigo Higashino have also been obtained. I will not worry about making movies next, but overall It's quite depressing. After all, I understand everything about Neon's live-action movies, but I'm being beaten by animated movies.

So they are also actively developing animated film business recently.

"Our background is not good. We have no chance to get involved in the theatrical versions of classic animated films, so when we contacted original animation directors, Director Satoshi Kon was completely bound to us. He also held a position in the company and helped us cultivate new talents. .”

Wang Quan reminded, "Be sure to supervise him and pay attention to his rest. You also know his condition."

Umekawa sighed and nodded, "Okay, it's a pity that even the best medical conditions in Tokyo can only allow him to live a few more years."

"By the way, what's the progress of Xin Haicheng's works now?" Wang Quan asked again.

Makoto Shinkai gained great fame with "5 Centimeters per Second" in 2007. Since then, Wang Quan has told Umekawa Hideo to make more contacts, ask for money and people, give full support at all costs, and finally let the animation director and Longtou’s Tokyo branch is completely bound.

In fact, he was a second-generation rich man and was not short of money, but he was short of a confidant. Wang Quan had called him several times and immediately made Wang Quan his confidant. He even met him once last year.

Umekawa introduced: "The production of "Children Chasing Stars" has basically been completed and will be released next year."

Wang Quan nodded. This is Makoto Shinkai's fourth animated film. He did not interfere with Makoto Shinkai's creation. The director needs to grow up. The effect of trying to encourage others may not be good. Asking him to make "Your Name" now may not be as good. Effect.

Before Umekawa Hideo and Wang Quan finished speaking, another foreign classmate Bai Chengxun also came over.

He just arrived. Because of his relationship with Wang Quan, his status in NEW Company has skyrocketed. He is now able to produce movies independently. At this time, he is in charge of a new work called "Sunshine Sisters".

Both Wang Quan and Long Toutou have shares in NEW, so they naturally want to give guidance to this company, which started out as a distributor, on how to invest in movies.

In addition to this new work directed by Kang Hyung-cheol, Wang Quan also suggested that Chairman Kim Woo-taek film a novel "The Melting Pot" based on real events. The American film company Huhuhu has already obtained the copyright, but I don't know if Kim Woo-taek has the guts.

If he doesn't dare, Long Toutou can support him.

Except for the two of them, the other foreign students did not come, but Bai Xue, Wang Jing and others came.

Hearing that Bai Xue's first movie was about to start shooting, Wang Jing was extremely envious. After joining Jia Zhangke's team, he didn't even have an assistant.

However, he felt that he had learned a lot about life and work from Section Chief Jia. As long as he could keep his composure, the Section Chief would definitely promote him to be a director in the future.

I don’t envy Bai Xue, not at all!

The other students did not hide their envy of Bai Xue, but it was useless to envy them. They couldn't accept the projects Wang Quan set for them. As for Bai Xue, she had proven herself with her strength in the future, so Wang Quan didn't dare to let her do it at the beginning. Do your own original work instead of adapting Neon comics, from easy to difficult.

All 15 classmates were here. Bai Xue asked everyone to take a photo. Wang Quan was naturally in the C position.

Not only that, when all the old seniors in the directing department took a group photo, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige took the initiative to humbly allow Wang Quan to stand between the two of them, "Come on, Xiao Wang."

Among the directors trained by Nortel over the years, apart from Zhang Huijun, Han Sanping and others who participated in administration, these three directors have the highest achievements.

In terms of artistic achievements, Wang Quan is not as good as the two of them, but in terms of worldly success, Wang Quan is undoubtedly the first. As for the amount of money he has donated to the school, he is already the most since the school was founded.

Lu Chuan was unbalanced when he saw this scene. Why didn't they call me over? Aren’t they saying that the new generation of directors are only about power and Chuan’er?

However, Wang Quan was still modest. He did not stand between the two leaders, but stood in the corner with his classmates, giving up the core area to the once most glorious level 78.

This year, Nortel recruited students again after buzzing. The directing department includes Chen Kaige, Tian Chongchang, Li Shaohong, Hu Mei, and Wu Ziniu. The photography department includes Zhang Yimou, Zhang Huijun, Gu Changwei, Zhang Li, and Lu Le, the Fine Arts Department includes Huo Jianqi, Feng Xiaoning, Yin Li, He Qun, etc.

In the 1980s and 1990s, they were responsible for half of the Chinese-language films.

As for the new generation of directors in the 1990s and 2000s, the most prominent ones are the 85-level directors, including Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye, and Lu Xuexiang in the directing department, and Cao Baoping in the literature department.

As for Chief Jia, the leader of the sixth generation of directors, he graduated from the Literature Department in 1993.

However, there were fewer famous directors as they came to the fore in the later years. It would be good to have one in each session. After all, there were very few opportunities for newcomers to invest in making movies in those days.

So when Wang Quan wanted to find some mature film directors in their thirties or forties, they always found that no one was available. Throughout the 1990s, the number of film directors trained by Nortel's directing department could be counted on one hand.

What Wang Quan saw today was Wu Ershan who was born in 1994, Wu Shixian, Cheng Er, and Lu Cheng who were born in 1995.

Therefore, Wang Quan will start from his 03 level and invest heavily in new directors regardless of returns. In this way, in ten more years, in the golden period of rapid development of Chinese films, he will have a group of mature film directors who are in their prime. .

After taking the photo, Wang Quan chatted with Wu Shixian, who is a Sino-US joint venture. Wang Quan admired his "Waiting Alone" and asked him what he was busy with recently. He hadn't seen his new work in several years.

The fat mixed-race man said cheerfully, "I just saved up a new script, Beirniu, and found Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, Wu Yan, and my wife to work on it."

Wang Quan took a look at the film and television library, but unfortunately the reviews and box office were average, and his works were too few. Could it be that all his talents were concentrated in "Waiting Alone" and finished?

Compared with the deserted situation in the directing department, the acting department was really lively. Wang Quan exchanged a few pleasantries here and then ran over to find his girlfriend Sissi. He hadn't even congratulated her on the Hundred Flowers Best Actress.

As a result, I smelled the smell of hot pot when I passed by a certain classroom. Although I had promised to have lunch in the classroom today, I didn't expect to eat hot pot. I did all the things I didn't dare to do when I was in school.

Wangquanmao took a look at the door and saw that they were old guys from the 78th level acting department, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Tielin, Xie Yuan, Zhou Lijing, Shen Danping and others.

After walking a few more rooms, Wang Quan saw the level 96s of Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and others, the level 90s of Huang Lei and Jiang Wu, the level 94s of Jiang Qinqin, Jin Qiaoqiao, Fu Dalong, and Fei Hong. Sister, Liu Yunlong, and Shao Bing's level 89.

When they saw Wang Quan, they all greeted Wang Quan with kindness and expectation. Only Yu Feihong had a cold expression and acted deliberately distant. In fact, he was more enthusiastic than anyone else in bed.

Finally, he found the 02-level acting department, and Sissi was being praised by all the stars. She was treated the same as he was in the directing department~
