You don't understand the happiness of the director

In the car going home, Wang Quan handed the magazine to Liu Yifei.

"Ah, Mimi is starring in Xingye's movie!" Liu Yifei was also surprised.

Wang Quan smiled and said: "It's been well hidden. I've never seen her talk so tightly."

Liu Yifei: Oh, really?

The crew's confidentiality work is very good, and no effective information has been leaked so far. Even the theme of Journey to the West is still speculation in the media, and it is not sure what is being filmed.

Liu Yifei was also a little curious about what she was filming. If Wang Quan was the director she most wanted to work with in China, then Zhou Xingchi should be the second director she wanted to work with in China. Unexpectedly, Mimi was lucky enough to be able to work with her twice.

Wang Quan talked to her about the experience of Yang Mi being selected to star in "Su Qier" when she was a child. In 1992, this movie was shot in Beijing. After Mi Mi was selected, she played the role of one of Su Can's sons and daughters. The feeling was not very high. Wang Quan accompanied her to complete the filming and earned 50 yuan. She was only six years old at the time.

"Just ask Lao Wang and I'll give him a call."

Wang Quan dialed Wang Qiankun's phone number. When he asked about Zhou Xingchi's new film, Lao Wang sounded very proud, "Quan'er, you've heard about it, right? This is the big killer of our universe!"

At first, Huayi Brothers also had their sights on Zhou Xingchi, but in the end Wang Qiankun won the project with his charisma.

Wang Quan asked, "How much did Qiankun invest?"

"60 million, accounting for 50%, issuance is not included."

"Oh, what a big deal!" Wang Quan exclaimed, "It seems that it is probably a Journey to the West theme."

"Hehe, I told you, Zhou Xingchi has always had a dream of traveling to the West."

"Uncle, is Master Xing still playing Sun Wukong?" Liu Yifei also interjected.

"Oh, Sissi is here too. Well, I won't spoil it. You will know it by then, haha."

Wang Quan: "Dad, why do I feel that you are a little guilty? Could it be that Mr. Zhou only directs but does not act~"

"Ah!" The person on the phone was obviously a little surprised.

Liu Yifei was even more surprised, "What, Master Xing doesn't act himself?"

In Chow Sing-chi's previous works, whether he directed it or not, he must have acted in it. Being an all-around talent who writes, directs, and acts is also an important label for Chow Sing-chi. If he didn't act, what would this movie be worth? Are you watching Mimi being funny? Isn't this funny!

Seeing the way Wang Qiankun hesitated, Liu Yifei knew that her boyfriend had guessed correctly and was very disappointed, "Ah, he really doesn't want to act?"

Wang Qiankun no longer had the confidence he had at the beginning, "Quan'er, if Zhou Xingchi doesn't act, will the audience not buy it? It won't be like the situation in "Yangtze River No. 7", right?"

"Yangtze River No. 7" received a box office of 170 million in 2008, which cannot be said to be high, but it was far lower than expected at the time, and its reputation was not good. One of the major drawbacks was that Zhou Xingchi gave up the leading role to Xu Jiao, I am willing to be a green leaf.

In fact, it can be seen from that movie that he had the idea of ​​​​quitting his career as an actor. Comedians often have this problem when they get older.

Wang Quan threatened, "According to the investment in this movie, it will take more than 400 million to get back the money. 400 million box office is not that easy to get."

Hearing what he said, Wang Qiankun felt even more guilty, "How about I transfer some shares to you? Don't worry, I'll transfer them at the original price."

Wang Quan knew that this movie would definitely make money, and he didn't want to take advantage of his father, so he smiled and refused, "I'd better forget it, maybe I have to compete with Zhou Xingchi in the ring, but you can ask Mimi to help you share some of the burden. , I see that the financial report of Power World is quite good, and I have made a lot of money from filming TV series."

Lao Wang thinks about it for the same reason. Mimi is the heroine, and if she is given the title of producer, she will probably be more interested.

However, Lao Wang still hopes that his son can provide some constructive suggestions for the movie he invested in, "Would you like to go visit a class? You can go with Sissi, Mimi is your good friend!"

Liu Yifei thought of what Yang Mi had done to her and her face turned red. She felt that it would be a matter of time before the three of them got together if things continued like this. She hurriedly refused and said, "Uncle, I'm not free. I'm going to the Northeast soon."

Wang Quan said, "I don't have time either. I have to catch up on the late work."

Wang Qiankun added: "Our movie is going to be shot in 3D, but Zhou Xingchi doesn't know anything about 3D, and this movie uses Butian Cinema."

Well, this is a legitimate reason. The 3D effect of the original version is very average, and the special effects are not good, especially the last part of the Buddha Mahamudra is suspected of plagiarizing the game "Asura's Wrath".

Wang Quan agreed: "Just wait a few days and I'll take the time to go over and give you some guidance."

A week later, Sissi had already gone to the Northeast. Wang Quan had lived in the company for a while. The villa was not convenient anymore, so he and Miss Xiaoli were the only ones at home.

Tomorrow he planned to go to Hengdian and spent the night in Beiying Community before leaving. Naza spent the night with her, and the little girl became more and more energetic.

Now Nazha has come up with the idea of ​​buying a house in the capital. After Wang Quan mentioned it to Wang Jingchen, she was very interested and arranged some advertising endorsement jobs for Nazha.

She is not an unknown person. Her role in "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is her best resume. She is a potential stock that is optimistic about the industry and outside the industry, so she has made a lot of money. Plus the money given to her by Wang Quan is enough to buy a down payment for a big house. .

Although Tianai and she are very good friends, this situation is really inconvenient, and we still need to have our own base.

"And I feel like Tianai has discovered something."

"Oh, what do you say?"

Nazha: "I feel like she has been mentioning you in front of me a lot lately."

Wang Quan: "Haha, could it be that she has a crush on me? After all, I am such a handsome boy."

Nazha chuckled, "Not at all. Her tone seemed to be nodding at me. The emphasis always fell on the fact that you have a girlfriend and are very affectionate with Liu Yifei. It seemed like she was trying to persuade me to turn around and give up."

Wang Quan nodded, "It's just upstairs and downstairs. It's not surprising that we are found. Then let's buy a house."

Then Wang Quan suggested the community opposite Wangdao. He remembered that Ni Ni had said that the house next door to hers on the same floor was also for sale, and he could ask Nazha to contact her later.

Nazha happily agreed. This would be great. Then her brother would be able to go to her place during his lunch break.

The next day Wang Quan came to Hengdian in a low-key manner. He had already communicated with each other before coming. After arriving at the set, he first met Qiankun's manager Duan, and then met Liu Shishi.

"Hey, Master, are you here to visit Ban Mimi?"

Liu Shishi replied obediently, "Director, I'm also filming in Hengdian. I didn't have any work today, so I came to play with Mimi. I'm also a fan of Master Xing."

The two of them were walking and chatting, "Oh, what are you taking pictures of?"

""Four Famous Catchers", directed by Chen Jiashang."

Oh, Director Chen didn't invite Concubine Liu Yi, so he invited Master Liu instead. You really are like Wan Wan.

But Shishi is not bad, but it's a pity. She has a good figure and movement awareness, and it is quite suitable to be a beating girl, but she has to play a disabled person.

"Wow, Chen Jiashang is a great director. It's great that you can get such resources after becoming independent."

"I would also like to thank Mimi for helping me fight for it," Master Liu suddenly blushed as he said this, "Director, can I ask you one thing?"

"You decide whether you want it or not."

Teacher Liu said, "Tomorrow is my birthday. Can you and Mimi come over to visit my class? It will only take an hour, or half an hour."

Wang Quan said with a serious face, "Did someone bully you on the set?"

Master Liu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "No, who can bully me? My head is not made of dough, it's just that I feel lonely. Teacher Sun Li came to visit Brother Chao in the class just a few days after I turned on the phone, oh , the male protagonist of our movie is Deng Chao, but me, because I left the Tang Dynasty, it is not convenient for me to get too close to Lao Hu and Lao Yuan. The person I have the best relationship with now is Mimi. She will definitely come tomorrow. , I just didn’t expect you to arrive in Hengdian today.”

Wang Quan understands, I am just a gift.

He nodded and agreed. It didn't matter if he went there tomorrow, just to talk to Deng Chao about something.

As they talked, they passed through layers of guards and arrived at the set of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons." No wonder the outside world didn't know what was being filmed after the film was filmed. The confidentiality work was indeed very strict.

"Director Wang, hello, hello."

The set was taking a break at the moment, and Zhou Xingchi, who had heard the letter a long time ago, came over to shake Wang Quan's hand.

Wang Quan took a look at the set. The male and female protagonists were there, and there were also a few supporting characters whom he was not familiar with.

Zhou Xingchi is not very good at chatting with people, and he does have a dull personality. Fortunately, Da Mimi acts as a lubricant between the two.

"Master Xing, you must have forgotten a long time ago. My brother Quan was also on the set when we were filming "Su Qier". He also said that your acting skills were so good, but I just don't understand how you can yell at the director. , isn’t he the biggest director?”

Zhou Xingchi smiled and waved his hands, and said in less than standard Mandarin, "There is no point in yelling, I respect the director very much, and we can only make the movie more perfect by discussing it together."

Yang Mi: "Yes, yes, then I think Xiaoyu's suggestion just now is very good. Why don't you try what he said."

As she said this, she called Lu Zhengyu, who played the role of Miss Duan's follower Dasha, to come over and asked him to express his thoughts again.

Mimi is indeed very aura now. Mi Shi has just invested 10 million, plus her salary, accounting for 10% of the shares, so she is also one of the bosses of this movie, and is the second person on the scene after Zhou Xingchi.

In Master Liu's eyes, Mimi is simply too handsome!

With Yang Mi's foreshadowing, Lu Zhengyu once again elaborated on his point of view. He is a die-hard Zhou Xingchi fan. He later became a self-taught and became an online director. He started by shooting online short films and in 2009 relied on a self-written and self-directed movie. The self-starred online drama "Hip Hop Quartet" became famous on Youku, and this gave him the opportunity to collaborate with idols. He contributed a lot of Zhou's comedy baggage in this movie.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Xingchi nodded, "Okay, let's shoot it again. As you just said, everyone come here."

Zhou Xingchi was about to start working, so Wang Quan and Liu Shishi stood aside and watched. Yang Mi also took the opportunity to explain to them that the ugly guys in front of them were her younger brothers in the film.

The big one is Lu Zhengyu, the second one is Zhao Zhiling, the sissy in "Kung Fu", the third one is Yang Di, an internet celebrity, and the fourth one is actually pretty pretty, a young model from Xiangjiang named Zhou Xiuna.

There is also the male lead of the film, Wen Zhang, who plays Xuanzang in a wig.

This male lead was unanimously recommended by Lao Wang and Yang Mi. He starred in several dramas such as Qian Kun and Mi Shi, all of which were hits, and Yang Mi also cast him in the next drama "Love Is Not Blind".

Although he didn't become Li Lienjie's godson because he missed "Ocean Paradise", there is nothing to say about his acting skills. Wang Quan has watched his "We'll See", and he has a long monologue, which is profound, and he made Lao Wang very happy. , Wang Quan always felt that this boy wanted to say something to Lao Wang: Zhang Piaoling for half his life...

While they were filming, Wang Quan was touching and grabbing Liu Shishi here and there, and soon he was full, which made Shishi very depressed. Today's snacks are all gone!

After finishing work, Yang Mi took Wang Quan and Shishi to have a meal, which was considered as celebrating Shishi's birthday in advance. She had a night show tomorrow and couldn't have dinner together.

After dinner, Wang Quan and Yang Mi returned to the hotel, but instead of entering Mi Mi's room, he entered Zhou Xingchi's room.

On the set, Zhou Xingchi said that he wanted to ask about 3D shooting. We discussed it in detail that night. In fact, only some shots of this movie will use 3D, and those shots have not been shot yet.

Now I mainly finish filming the plot of Miss Duan played by Yang Mi.

There is nothing we can do about it. Yang Mi still has to promote "Youth" and has to take half a month's leave. There is nothing she can do about it.

In his conversation with Zhou Xingchi, Wang Quan could clearly feel his declining interest in movies and his increasing interest in making money.

At first, I could humbly ask for advice on 3D shooting, but later I simply said, "The photographer and the special effects team will actually help with that, right."

Then he turned to concern about Wang Quan's views on the property market and stock market. After all, Wang Quan is the seventh richest man in China, surpassing many Hong Kong tycoons he is familiar with.

Now Zhou Xingchi is also a major shareholder of the listed company. Last year, he went public through a backdoor transaction and owned 35.6% of the shares of Bigo Group. Recently, he spent a lot of money while making movies and bought shares from another shareholder, Ryden Group. At that time, its shareholding reached a relatively high level of 56.2%!

It's a pity that the market value of this high-end company is less than 600 million. It's really not interesting and can't make a lot of money.

Wang Quan feels that it is true that he likes to make money. Money can indeed provide the greatest sense of security for many people who were poor when they were young.

It's a pity for him. Zhou Xingchi's film talent is too high. If he can concentrate on filming and make comedy movies that he is good at, not even Wang Quan is confident that he can beat him at the mainland box office.

How Wang Quan wishes he could watch more classic Zhou comedies, even ones of the level of "Mermaid", but it's a pity that he won't be able to make movies of this level in the future.

Wang Quan suddenly asked him, "By the way, what is Jiahe's market value now?"

This royal power was indeed unclear, but Zhou Xingchi casually reported it, "It is now 3.2 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

Wang Quan was happy, "Oh, that has tripled compared to when I originally acquired it."

"That's three times more!" Zhou Xingchi was envious.

Wang Quan smiled and said, "So it's easy to make money. If you make more good movies and open more cinemas, the stock price will naturally rise."

"Oh, it's that simple?"

Wang Quan, "It's that simple, Director Zhou. The domestic film industry is growing rapidly. If the movie "Kung Fu" was released today, I believe the mainland box office would definitely exceed one billion."

"Ah!" Zhou Xingchi himself didn't dare to think so. Back then, the movie's domestic box office was only 170 million yuan, and the global box office was 105 million yuan, which was less than 1 billion yuan!

One billion, which is almost equivalent to two Bigo Groups!

Wang Quan laughed, ""Inception" is already 1.5 billion. In my heart, "Kung Fu" is not inferior to "Inception" at all, and the market will become bigger and bigger. In the future, movies worth 1 billion will be nothing. It is not impossible to have movies worth 2 billion, 3 billion, or even 1 billion. If a movie has a high box office, it will naturally drive up the market value of the company. Long Toutou is the best example. This company now has a market value of 30 billion. Knife, isn’t it just supported by movies that have hit the box office one after another?”

"It's easy to say, you think everyone is a genius and a model worker like you." Zhou Xingchi complained. He considers himself a genius and was once a model worker. In 1992, the top five box office rankings in Hong Kong were all his films.

But now that I am no longer acting, it will be difficult to ensure that quality and quantity improve simultaneously if I am only a director.

Wang Quan said seriously, "It's nothing to work hard if you want to make money. Think about it, making a movie can make money at the box office and in the stock market at the same time. Maybe one movie can make billions. Isn't it full of motivation?"

Zhou Xingchi's rickety body suddenly straightened up. Is it really so profitable to make a movie?

He feels that it is easier to make money by speculating in real estate. He now has a personal net worth of more than 1 billion, most of which is from investment in real estate and the property market. How is this possible by making movies?

Wang Quan added, "Of course, another reason for the increase in Jiahe's market value is the establishment of theater chains. This can also be regarded as a variant of the real estate industry, especially the mainland theater chains. The market is getting bigger and bigger. You can definitely make money by doing theater chains. That's right now. Everyone is entering and the cost is higher.”

Zhou Xingchi nodded. He also thought about following the example of Jiahe Cinema and entering the mainland. However, a movie theater is really expensive now. He dare not think about it in first-tier cities. An ordinary one in second-tier cities costs millions. He doesn’t know how many years it will take to get back the money. Wang Quan also shared Golden Harvest’s theater strategy across Asia.

The two chatted for three hours. In the end, Zhou Xingchi held Wang Quan's hand tightly and felt that he had benefited a lot. "Thank you Director Wang for talking to me so much. In addition to filming, I talked more this day than I usually do in a week." .”

"Haha, if you have money, let's make it together. You can't make enough money. My wealth is accumulated through making movies and the stock market. You happen to be interested in these, so let's chat. I hope it can be helpful to you."

Wang Quan's visit this time really stimulated Zhou Xingchi. He felt that Bigo Group could try its hand in the mainland cinema market.

In addition to Zhou Xingchi's room, Wang Quan returned to his room. At this time, Damimi had been waiting in bed for a long time, and she felt sleepy waiting.

Seeing Wang Quan touch her, she complained, "I feel like Master Xing is more attractive to you than me!"

Wang Quan laughed, "Why are you still jealous of him, an old man with white hair? Sissi's jealousy is not enough for you."

"I don't want to be jealous of Sissi, I prefer to eat Sissy's honey~"

Wang Quan: "Huh?"

Seeing the evil smile on her face, Wang Quan pressed her down and wanted to listen to her talk.

Yang Mi: "I won't tell, this is a little secret between me and Sissi~"

"Yo, you two have such a good relationship."

"That's right, Sissi and I are Shui Ru's best friends, and Shishi and I are just having fun," Mimi dodged Wang Quan's attack, and then said, "Don't tell Shishi when you meet her tomorrow. ~”

Wang Quan rode up, "Take care of yourself first!"

The next day, near noon, Wang Quan and Mimi finished filming and the two of them drove to the set of "Four Famous Catchers" to visit Master Liu.

Yang Mi's appearance was not surprising, but Wang Quan's appearance surprised the on-site staff, especially since he was carrying a birthday cake in his hand.

"Teacher, happy birthday!" Yang Mi stepped forward to hug her and began to play off the occasion.

Now everyone understood that this was Liu Shishi's friend. Did Liu Shishi have such a hard relationship with Wang Quan?

Could it be that Aiwujiwu wants both Liu Yifei and Liu Yifei?

Then Chen Jia Shang and the leading actor Deng Chao also came over.

After the two collaborated on "Painting on the Wall", Chen Jiashang felt that Deng Chao was very useful, so they collaborated on this film adapted from Wen Rui'an's martial arts masterpiece, and planned to make a trilogy. Now Deng Chao, Hua Yi's second brother, is almost a movie star. The light is the best.

Chen Jiashang also came to say hello to Wang Quan. Hearing that Wang Quan had come to Hengdian, he wrote an invitation letter overnight, inviting him to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards next month. Now he is the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Wang Quan asked, "Can our company's films win awards?"

This question involved the leak of the award. Director Chen thrust the invitation letter into his hand with an embarrassed look on his face, "You can come anyway, it must be right."

Wang Quan understands. Jiahe's "Drug War" and "Treasure League" have both been shortlisted for multiple awards. It seems that they will not leave empty-handed, and they can win big prizes.

It just so happened that he hadn’t been to Jiahe for a long time, so he happily accepted the invitation.

Then Chen Jiashang greeted Yang Mi, and the two chatted about "The Warriors Su Qier". The director of this movie was Chen Jiashang.

Deng Chao also greeted Wang Quan respectfully. He wished Director Quan could look at him more, but unfortunately he didn't. He had been looking at Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, who were close friends.

Next is Liu Shishi's scene. She has to go to work, and Deng Chao is standing by to greet Wang Quan and Yang Mi.

He and Yang Mi are also very good friends. One is Pinru and the other is Hong Shixian. They were so popular last year.

Deng Chao was full of envy for Yang Mi, "You have actually played the heroine of Mr. Xing, so you can be considered a star girl."

"I don't count, he didn't discover me," Yang Mi looked arrogant. Among the so-called four little beauties, there was an authentic star girl. She always felt that she was not worthy of being as famous as she and Liu Yifei.

Deng Chao sighed, "Whenever I can play the leading role of Mr. Xing, I will die without regrets."

Wang Quan said, "No, how can you play my leading actor if you are dead?"

"Director Quan, please stop teasing me." Deng Chao laughed and didn't take it seriously. How could he be so lucky? He was just Huayi's second brother who was loved and loved by no one.

But Wang Quan said seriously, "Seriously, the leading actor in my new movie, are you coming~"

What he said was "Are you coming or not" rather than "Do you want to come to the audition"~

Hearing this, Deng Chao felt his knees go weak, and he almost blurted out the words: "I have been wandering for half my life..."
