You don't understand the happiness of the director

It visited the three cities of Jiazhuang, Hefei and Jiangcheng in one day, and appeared in Magic City, Hangcheng and Xiamen on Sunday. News and hot searches continued, which is also an important reason for its box office success.

Then Wang Quan made an arrangement to divide the forces into two groups. Golden Horse Best Actor and Best Actress Liu Ye, Li Bingbing, Fatty Wang Chen Minghao and assistant director Li Weiran, who is also the director of the next film, went to Wanwan to promote.

Supporting roles such as Lao Wang who plays Blind Chen, Huang Bo who plays Big Golden Tooth, and Liu Shishi who plays Ye Yixin remain in the mainland to continue promoting.

Wang Quan took Queen Jingjue and newcomer Gu Linaza, who became famous overnight, to Hong Kong to promote the movie.

There are too many examples of people who became famous overnight in the entertainment industry, and now we have to add Gulinazha to the list.

Although Nazha had some fame before as the "Nortel School Beauty" and had six figures of fans on Weibo, when "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was officially released, in addition to the three main protagonists, she was the ultimate BOSS who benefited the most. Yes, it's definitely an effective performance.

Even because of its low popularity in the early stage, its rising momentum is the largest among all. Coupled with Wang Jingcheng's operation, the number of fans will soon exceed one million.

When Jing Tian found out about this, Wang Quan and Nazha had already arrived in Xiangjiang, and she could only help promote the movie in China. Because the paper bride's makeup was more realistic, many people didn't realize that she played this important role.

Some netizens were particularly insulting, saying, "Oh, I was five minutes late for the movie. Didn't it mean that Jingtian was there? Why didn't I see it? Did I miss it?"

Jing Tian:! ! !

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" took in HK$11 million at the box office in its first week in Hong Kong. Even though it is such a small city, its performance was better than that of Thailand and the Philippines. After all, this city's film industry is very mature.

In the past few years, the Hong Kong market was larger than that of the mainland. There were also many blockbusters from the mainland trying to hit the Hong Kong market. Previously, "Hero" had a box office of 26.6 million Hong Kong dollars, "House of Flying Daggers" had a box office of 14 million, and "The Golden Armor" had a box office of 18 million. "Tangshan Earthquake" was 15 million, and "Let the Bullets Fly" was released at the beginning of the year, 13 million.

Judging from the trend, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will undoubtedly become a new high for mainland films in Hong Kong.

It doesn’t seem difficult to surpass “3DXX Group”’s 41 million to become the annual Chinese film champion.

What Xiangjiang filmmakers are even more worried about is whether "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will break the box office record of 61.2 million for Chinese-language films like "Kung Fu". In that case, Xiangjiang filmmakers will be disgraced.

However, Wang Quan has no intention of worrying about their reputation. Hong Kong films or Hong Kong-funded films have been far behind Hollywood, so it is not surprising to be surpassed by mainland films.

In the morning, Wang Quan took Nazha to invite some of the most famous Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong Island at the University of Hong Kong. The large classroom was full that day, and everyone chatted about metaphysics and gave a free Feng Shui class to Hong Kong college students.

I heard that several younger generations of wealthy families were also in the audience, wanting to see the magic of this billionaire in his twenties. Feng shui masters are usually also fortune tellers. According to them, the fortune is rare in a century. The appearance of a strange person at first sight will surely lead to a family full of children and great achievements in the future.

Nazha was very excited when she heard this. I'm afraid Liu Yifei can't have too many children. Doesn't this show her own importance?

In the evening, he held a fan meeting with Nazha, Shi Nansheng and other Golden Harvest teams at the Golden Harvest Cinema to talk about interesting things during the filming and the development prospects of Hong Kong films.

"Director Wang Quan, do you think Hong Kong films still have a future?" an audience member began to ask.

"Of course, otherwise why would I buy Jiahe?" Wang Quan smiled.

"Then do you think Hong Kong films can still reach their former glory?"

Wang Quan: "Do you want to hear the truth or be polite?"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene. It seems that everyone has eyes and knows that it is impossible. It is good to maintain the current market.

The actors in Hong Kong films have been cut off, and the people behind the scenes have basically moved north. The original market has also been occupied by Hollywood, including its own territory. Even if there is a movie like "The Vengeful Lawyer" in the future that will set a new box office record, it will only be an isolated phenomenon. It does not affect the overall decline of Hong Kong films.

However, Hong Kong films have also left a very precious legacy for Chinese films, such as the old Hong Kong film flavor at the beginning of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the cameos of Cheng Long and Liu Jiahui, and the layout of Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and other companies in Southeast Asian theaters.

"Director Wang Quan, I watched "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" yesterday, and I really liked the part about Cheng Long at the beginning. Have you ever thought about making a Hong Kong movie, or shooting a movie in Hong Kong?"

Many viewers are disapproving of this. Hong Kong films are half dead now. What do you think if you let such an international director make a film?

However, Wang Quan said very sincerely, "That's a good question. I do have a project on hand, which I plan to shoot in Hong Kong, using actors from Hong Kong and speaking Cantonese dialogue..."

"ah!"

The scene was filled with excitement. Director Quan asked him, "Does he love Hong Kong movies so much?"

Several die-hard fans of King Power even shed tears. This is the best news they have heard today, no, this year.

But when they wanted to ask more details about the movie, Wang Quan did not continue to answer. How could it be spoiled, but you just know that there is such a thing.

Because Wang Quan was leaving Xiangjiang tomorrow, Jiahe's senior management held a meeting that night.

In fact, there is nothing major. Apart from approving several new film projects and confirming the cast, we will cooperate with Long Toutou to shoot "Pacific Rim" in the second half of the year.

Xiangjiang will be one of the main filming locations for this movie. Not only will the staff of Xiangjiang be used, but a group of Xiangjiang actors will also be selected to play supporting roles. These opportunities are also very precious for the current second- and third-tier artists in Xiangjiang.

In the future, Hong Kong will have more opportunities to appear in Hollywood movies like "The Dragon Heads Up". This is also one of the legacies of Hong Kong films. Many audiences around the world are very familiar with the flavor of Hong Kong. Everyone will feel familiar with choosing this place as a filming location.

Such cooperation will give Golden Harvest more say in the Hong Kong film industry. Wang Quan hopes that Shi Nansheng can become the head of several labor unions and associations in the Hong Kong film industry to facilitate his control over the Hong Kong film industry.

Shi Nansheng expressed his understanding, and then asked, "Is the Hong Kong movie you mentioned just perfunctory to the audience or is it true?"

Royal power, "of course it does exist."

Several managers looked very excited, and Shi Nansheng also smiled, "It seems my phone will be busy tomorrow."

Many Xiangjiang filmmakers are not familiar with Wang Quan, but they are old friends with Shi Nansheng.

Wang Quan thought for a while and then said to Shi Nan, "I would also like you to help me find two houses, one is a big mansion and the other is a small shabby one. I plan to live in Xiangjiang for a while while perfecting my script. "

Hearing what he said, Shi Nansheng became more confident in Wang Quan's new Hong Kong film. He was obviously serious.

On the bed, Nazha asked in confusion, "Brother, why do you want to buy a mansion and a not-so-good house?"

Wang Quan smiled and said, "We will live in the mansion. If the house is not so good, let Xiao Wei live in it."

"Ah, you are so bad." Naza took it seriously.

That night, the news that Wang Quan was preparing an original Hong Kong film began to spread in a small area in the evening, and by the next day, major media were also promoting the matter.

"Director Wang Quan is optimistic about the future of Hong Kong films and is preparing pure Hong Kong films!"

"Hollywood director Wang Quan is about to shoot a Hong Kong film. The subject matter is questionable. It is suspected to be a 3D Category III film!"

"The charm of Hong Kong movies remains, King David comes to the rescue!"

These reports helped King Power gain more goodwill locally, and the box office continued to rise.

After leaving Xiangjiang, Wang Quan and Nazha went to Thailand, while Li Bingbing and his group flew from Wanwan to the Philippines, and then everyone met in Singapore to go to the United Arab Emirates.

While in Thailand, Wang Quan participated in a TV show and invited Thailand's popular young director Banjang Pisindanakan.

The two people on the stage mainly talked about Wang Quan and his "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Wang Quan admitted that he actually wanted to make a horror film, but considering the audience problem and wanting more box office, he could only make the film in the direction of an adventure film.

As for the rule that there can't be ghosts in Chinese-language films, it's not enough for outsiders. Wang Quan still understands this rule. When the average level of national education is high enough and everyone becomes a materialist, he believes in this rule. It will definitely be relaxed.

When offstage, Wang Quan mostly talked about Thai movies with Bisindanakan. Nowadays, love and horror are the two major themes of Thai movies, and Bisindanagon has filmed both themes, and among them Outstanding.

So Wang Quan suggested, why not combine the unforgettable love with the horror elements of ghost movies? At the same time, he mentioned the very famous Thai folk horror story "Ghost Wife Nana". Although it has been filmed before, it can still be filmed. Novelty.

Bisindana had never expected that Wang Quan was so knowledgeable and even knew the legend of the ghost wife Nana. He was really ashamed that he didn't know any ghost legends in China.

Wang Quan also said that if Xiaobi has any financial problems, Wang Dao is willing to support, "Asian movies are one family."

Bisinda Nagang was very moved and was willing to form a partnership with Wang Quan, the two unparalleled heroes of Asian movies, and they would be good brothers from now on!

Wang Quan smiled slightly, "Actually, I want to be the big brother of Asian movies!"

Now that he has arrived in Bangkok, Wang Quan will definitely go to see "Manslaughter" being filmed and supervise Chen Sicheng's work progress and results. After all, he is also a member of his Stars and Sea project and needs his own personal care.

Normally, no one is afraid of anyone in the crew except Gong Li. Director Chen, who is very arrogant in sunglasses, now behaves like a primary school student whose homework is being checked by the teacher. He doesn't dare to breathe.

Wang Quan asked Chen Sicheng, "How does it feel to film in Thailand?"

Chen Sicheng smiled and said, "I just feel quite free."

Wang Quan thought to himself, the freedom you are talking about means that you can go to see the transvestite show after filming every day, right?

"Then you can think more about how to set the movie background in Thailand, so that you can film freely."

Chen Sicheng nodded thoughtfully, "Director, what about these scenes I shot before?"

Wang Quan picked out a few passages that he thought were highlights. Overall, he was quite satisfied, except for one thing: "You weren't cruel enough to Teacher Gong Li."

He could clearly feel that Chen Sicheng was getting by in some parts, because it was Gong Li who was performing, and he didn't dare to let Gong Li NG too much.

It’s not that Gong Li’s acting skills are poor, the surrounding environment and the staff will affect the quality of the film. Movies are a delicate job, and it is common for him to grind him dozens of times for one shot.

The next scene is a scene where Gong Li and Yu Nan confront each other at the police station. Wang Quan said, "I will film this scene and give you a look."

Wang Quan originally wanted to suppress the proud Emperor Gong, and handed him over to Chen Sicheng after training. Unexpectedly, the two of them were well prepared for this important event. They had practiced several times in the hotel, and the staff today were also very good, and there was no problem during the whole process. Something went wrong.

Seeing the performance completed by the two, Wang Quan only had two words in his heart, "Perfect!"

He said, "Well, not bad, let's keep one more."

Gong Li hates to keep one thing the most. Achievement means success, failure means failure. Why should he waste his emotions on one thing?

But facing a great director like Wang Quan, forget it, just keep one thing, if Lao Mouzi doesn't tolerate him.

Wang Quan and Gong Li have known each other for a long time. They have flown together before. He personally called her to invite her for this role. Her sister still dotes on him and is willing to give her face.

Chen Sicheng gave him a thumbs up. He was once scolded by Gong Li for the words "guaranteed one". After that, he felt like there was an old Buddha above his head on the set. He always felt that one person was inferior to ten thousand people.

"Great, it's even better this time!" Wang Quan took the lead in applauding and hugged Gong Li and Yu Nan, expressing his admiration for the two top actresses in the Chinese film industry.

Then he saw Xiao Yang and Wang Taili again, "Brothers, I think your roles are not big. Why don't you take the time to write a song for this movie."

The songwriting job of Brother Chopsticks definitely belongs to Wang Taili, and he was pushed to the front by Xiao Yang.

Wang Taili shook his hair and said, "Director, what kind of song do you want?"

Wang Quan looked at the leading actor Wang Qianyuan and said, "This movie is about a father who sacrifices everything for his daughter. Then write a song with the title "Father". I look forward to your performance."

Wang Quan and Xiao Yang were chatting about the song. Chen Sicheng glanced at Gu Linaza, who was coming with Wang Quan, and couldn't move his eyes away.

Oops, isn't this the most exquisite queen? I thought she was very beautiful when I was watching the movie. I didn't expect this real person to be so beautiful. She is also a beauty from Western Xinjiang, much better than that old turtle dove.

Wang Qianyuan kindly touched this junior brother who had taken him to watch transvestite performances many times, "Don't look at it blindly, is that what you can care about!"

Chen Sicheng was shocked. He heard that Wang Quan only brought her as an actor along the way. Indeed, this was probably not an ordinary relationship.

Made, it’s great to be a great director, not to mention having a girlfriend like Liu Yifei, but also having such a young actor to play with!

I also want to climb to the top position of director step by step!

I want to play King David!
