You don't understand the happiness of the director

Wang Quan burst into laughter looking at Liu Yifei’s Weibo and quickly liked it.

She doesn’t play Weibo very much. It’s rare that she posts three posts in a row in one day. Her fans are very excited, especially when the first post has just been posted and the second post hasn’t come out yet. Good guy, the fans are going crazy. The fairy baby you watched grow up actually has a baby?

Then I saw the second article, what the hell, are you pregnant with such a thing?

The third post made people laugh and cry, especially Dan Qing looked back at her mother with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you sick?" Fans interacted and laughed in the comment area, and by the way, posted the entry "Liu Yifei has a big belly" The most popular search on Weibo.

Liu Ye, who had just finished work, looked at the Weibo in Wang Quan's hand and shook his head regretfully. It was a pity that he could not grab the sofa.

Now that Nazha's scenes have been filmed, the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which has been filming for three months, has also entered the later stages of filming. However, Nazha is reluctant to leave. If she leaves, the man named Li will definitely take action against her brother.

However, she was only a sophomore now, and learning skills in school was the most important thing, so that night Wang Quan persuaded her hard and finally convinced her to sleep.

The next day, Sunday, Wang Quan personally sent the person to the airport and asked him to fly him on his private plane. Only Liu Yifei, Yang Mi and Dorothy had experienced this kind of treatment.

Speaking of Dorothy, she has been in a good mood recently. Not only did the death of the little werewolf not hinder "Twilight 5", but now it seems that it will become a catalyst for the box office explosion. Wang Quan composed the song "See You Again" for him. From the second week after its release, it has been at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and its strength has not been shaken.

Even though he has been dead for more than a month, fans' memory of him has not diminished at all. On the contrary, it has become more and more intense. His historical status has skyrocketed, and the value of the Twilight series is also rapidly appreciating.

According to the predictions of the authoritative box office media, the box office of "Twilight 5" is getting higher and higher. This year, Dragon Head is still likely to dominate Hollywood and rank first in the total box office!

Wang Quan had a phone call with her, and she was thinking about getting married to Little K after the "Twilight" series came to an end.

"You must come when the time comes."

Wang Quan asked, "Which of you will wear a wedding dress during the wedding?"

"Then which one of us do you want to wear a wedding dress?" Dorothy asked.

Wang Quan, "Of course I'm wearing them all! You wear a low-cut one, and little K wears a backless one~"

This is called exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

Dorothy, hehe, don’t think that I don’t know what you want to do, but she said, “Okay, I will listen to you, you are our witness~”

"Okay, okay!" Wang Quan imagined the scene, "When the time comes, I will be wearing a suit, with a you on my left hand and a K on my right."

After Sunday, the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" continued, and the crew welcomed a new member, "Welcome Master."

"Hello, Director Quan." Liu Shishi was a little cautious and shook hands with Wang Quan. Although she had met Wang Quan several times, he was an international director after all. He was Mi Mi's childhood sweetheart and not her own.

This is the first time the two of them have been alone together without Mimi. This is the hotel where the crew is staying. After finishing work, Wang Quan came to Liu Shishi's room to express his welcome and talk about tomorrow's filming content.

Liu Shishi said, "Don't worry, director, I have memorized all the scripts."

It's not that she has always been so hardworking. Who told her that this was the crew of King Power?

Wang Quan invited her to play the role of Ye Yixin, one of the expedition team, which required half a month of her schedule, but she had been preparing for it more than a month in advance, which Yang Mi asked for for her.

Speaking of which, Ye Yixin can be regarded as the second most played character in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" under Shirley Yang. For her as a TV drama star, this is such an honor. It is like a pie falling from the sky. If only relying on Tang Dynasty, she is There's no way you can get it.

Thinking of this, Shishi's heart began to agitate again, and she had been thinking about what Mimi said to her.

In fact, inviting Shishi Liu is a win-win situation for them. Shishi enters the film industry and his career takes a further step, and Wang Quan can also enjoy the benefits of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", which will be broadcast in two months. .

Only the Tang people were hurt, feeling that the first sister they raised would soon belong to someone else.

Wang Quan was quite concerned about Master Liu, and specifically told the logistics staff to be careful not to put pork in the food for Master Liu. This was what Yang Mi reminded her.

After chatting for a while, Wang Quan got up to say goodbye and returned to his room. Clara was waiting for him. After Naza left, she finally had the opportunity to serve the director personally.

Liu Shishi was so excited that he couldn't sleep and called Yang Mi.

"Mimi, I'm here. Your brother Quan came to see me just now!"

"Well, Shishi, do your best. This time I will play the supporting role, and next time I will try to play the heroine." Yang Mi encouraged Liu Shishi.

Master Liu said, "Ah, Director Quan's heroine, I don't dare to think about it."

Yang Mi: You think too much. I’m talking about movie heroines. I haven’t played Brother Quan’s heroine yet!

Liu Shishi has made TV movies before, the kind invested by Six Princesses, which are not shown in theaters but directly on TV. Usually the investment is not large and the rhythm is more like a TV series.

This was her first time filming a serious movie, and she was cooperating with Wang Quan, Li Xuejian and others, so she was a little nervous at first and made a lot of mistakes. Fortunately, Wang Quan was very patient and had been working for so many years. He gradually understood some ways to guide actors, and with teacher Li Xuejian also guiding her, Liu Shishi was quickly put on the right track.

Liu Shishi is not from a major, and her acting skills are not very good. Her body coordination is her strong point. However, this drama does not give her many opportunities to show off her movements. She just plays an archeology college student who goes on an inspection trip with her tutor, which is a bit She is upright and stubborn, and it is not difficult for her to show this off.

In addition, she did a lot of homework in advance and already knew all the lines, so it was quite a pleasure to work with her.

Working with teacher Li Xuejian, she realized that she learned a lot and felt that she could pursue an acting career in the future.

Now they are filming in the desert of Western Xinjiang, and the conditions are relatively difficult. When they started filming, they considered filming the desert scenes in a studio. The cost would not be much higher and the filming would be comfortable. But in the end, they still prefer the realism of the natural environment, so they can only It’s hard for everyone.

When they returned to the hotel in the evening, Li Bingbing and Liu Shishi held hands and supported each other. They were exhausted. After all, they were girls and their physical strength was not as good as that of some older men.

But it got better soon. A week later, they moved to Ningxia. Although the natural environment was still not very good, it was much better than the desert.

Not long after they arrived, the crew welcomed a visitor, who was actually a member of the crew and the original author of the film, Tian Xia Ba Sing.

This film was co-written by Wang Quan and Tianxia Ba Chang. Wang Quan is the main focus, and Ba Chang made professional mistakes to fill in the gaps.

However, the next few films will focus on Tian Xia Ba Sing, and the number of screenwriters has also increased to provide Ba Sing with film screenwriting assistance.

Ba Chang attaches great importance to this series. When he first sold the rights, it was in 2007. At that time, Wang Quan had just achieved great success with the first "Twilight Saga". However, the mainland box office market was still very sluggish at that time. He felt that Wang Quan wanted to film him. "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern", it would be great if a movie could have a box office of 200 to 300 million yuan, but now, he feels that at least a zero (global box office) must be added to the end.

He, the original author of this movie series, can get a share of the box office. According to current box office expectations, this share is much higher than the money he spent to buy the copyright. It can give him complete financial freedom, so he has no choice but to ignore it.

No, Wang Quan asked him to be responsible for the script development of the second part. After he wrote the first draft, he flew over to find Wang Quan himself.

Wang Quan had no time during the day, so the two grown men could only discuss it in the hotel room at night.

Later, Wang Quan called the four deputy directors and Xiao Yang over, and everyone worked together to come up with ideas.

The second part of the movie is mainly based on "Yunnan Worm Valley". Many people think this is the most exciting part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

So the assistant directors were really jealous when they saw the script for the second part. They didn't know who would be so lucky in the end and get this opportunity to rise to the top in one fell swoop.

In addition to the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, Tian Xia Ba Sang also has other works, such as "Journey to Kunlun Ruins", "The Thieving Cat", and the series "The Lost Country". He is also very diligent in writing.

Ever since Wang Quan announced the adaptation of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the copyright of his novel has skyrocketed. Domestic film and television companies are eyeing him. The four words "The World's Most Singing" have become a shining golden sign.

When discussing the script today, Wang Quan asked Clara to prepare peanut edamame beer and a large table of skewers. Tianxiaba sings good wine. Drinking too much will make you confused. In addition, there is always the slim Clara hanging around next to him, so He couldn't resist the urge to brag.

"Wanda planned to buy my "The Lost Kingdom" series, and the price reached 10 million. I refused without even thinking about it."

Xiao Yang was shocked, "So tall!"

I feel like I will never make that much money in my life.

"Is it high? I think 10 million for a movie can be considered." Wang Quan said while smacking the beans.

Tian Xia Ba Shang chuckled, "I think so too. In fact, if you are willing, Director Quan, it would be no problem to sell four movies to you for ten million, because you will definitely be able to treat my works well. I don't trust other companies, so I have to add money!"

The price offered by Wang Quan at that time was definitely not as high as what Wanda is offering now, but the added value brought by the word "King Quan" to this series was too high. Now, as long as you enter a bookstore, the eight novels of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will definitely be displayed most prominently. place, and it can be sold out quickly. It has been printed several times in just a few months.

Not to mention that Wang Quan will also promote "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" overseas. English, Japanese and Korean versions have been or will be released soon, which is something he absolutely cannot do on his own.

Wang Quan thought carefully and said, "I do have this idea, but I have to wait until "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is filmed to see the market's feedback."

Not only the first part, but the key is actually the second part and the third part without the aura of kingship. If the audience likes this, "The Lost Kingdom" is not impossible to consider. By then, it can create a world-dominated universe. , this guy is indeed a strange flower in the world of Chinese popular novels. He is very good at writing this kind of adventure stories, and his writing is fascinating and full of dangers. He may very well become a figure like J.K. Rowling.

As if to verify that Tian Xia Ba Shang was not bragging, his cell phone rang. It was a call from Huayi's staff, saying that they wanted to buy his film adaptation rights for "The Cat Thief", and they directly offered him a high price of 6 million, and as long as Film adaptation rights.

After "The Cat Thieves" was published, it was renamed "The Beast in the Golden Coffin". It is also the story of the golden captain, and can be regarded as the prequel of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Tian Xia Ba Shang still refused, just like Wang Quan said, wait until the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is released. By then, the value of his novels will be even higher, even if it is directed by Quan If it's smashed... No, it won't be smashed. Director Quan can't smash his own sign!

Unexpectedly, there was an endless stream of calls. Then several film and television companies wanted to purchase the copyright of works such as "The Cat Thief", including China Film.

Tian Xia Ba Chang touched his head and said, "Why are there so many calls today? Although there are usually calls, one usually comes every few days."

His phone number is no secret to these film and television companies, and they can be obtained through publishing houses. However, it is well known that the copyright of his novels is expensive, and it must be made into a blockbuster with special effects. Most film companies do not have the strength and courage to do so.

It wasn't until Ba Chang woke up from drunkenness the next day that he realized what was going on. It turned out that this year's list of the richest Chinese writers had been announced.

As a result, guess what, the number one singer in the world!

From being nowhere on the list last year to ranking first this year, Tian Xia Ba Sing was stunned. Seeing that there was still half a bottle of beer on the coffee table, he quickly drank it to sober himself up.

Tian Xia Ba Chang took a look and said, oh, 25 million, ten and two hundred and fifty.

This rich list of writers is not calculated based on income, but based on the amount of royalties paid in royalties. It is purely based on the sales of physical books.

Although "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was somewhat famous before, it was only limited to a small circle. In addition, pirated books were rampant and not all books were published, so the income last year was almost meaningless.

This year is different. First of all, all eight movies have been released. Readers can directly purchase the complete works and read all the books at once. Then Wang Quan announced that his first movie after returning to China will be "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which directly stimulated the consumer market and made "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" became the best-selling book of the year. Even though piracy is still rampant, many genuine copies were sold.

Tian Xia Ba Sing made his own calculations. Even if there is not 25 million, there is still 20 million. This does not include the income from overseas publishing. This is the ability of the word "king power" to bring goods, so it was considered the adaptation right at that time. It was given to him for nothing, and the world's most popular singer felt that he was not at a loss.

If Wang Quan decided to adapt "Tomb Raiders" at that time, then the third uncle of the Southern School would definitely be number one on the list.

By the way, is the mistress on the list? Ba Chang hurriedly looked at the list, trying to find the name of this tomb robbing author who was also called himself.

Oh, I found it, number thirteen~
