You don't understand the happiness of the director

"Oh, by the way, call Yan Fei and Peng Damo too~" Liu Yifei finally reminded.

In the column of screenwriters of "Rich Second Generation", Wang Quan placed the two behind him, and repeatedly affirmed the talents of the two young directors and screenwriters during promotions.

He is not greedy for credit. When he hears the audience praising a certain joke, he will also introduce it, "Oh, this is written by Yan Fei" "This is written by Peng Damo" "Don't know? Hao Jian from the Spring Festival Gala knows it, right?" ~”

Yes, the two are also the directors and screenwriters of the Spring Festival Gala sketch series "Today's Happiness".

Now these two golden partners are getting more attention in Happy Mahua. Two years ago, Yan Fei created the hit drama "The Count of Wulong Mountain". This year, he and Peng Damo started to create a new drama script, tentatively titled "Charlotte's Troubles".

However, seeing the box office of the movies they co-wrote grow to more than 100 million per day, these two young people couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Although they are now very valued in Happy Mahua, their monthly salary is only more than 10,000, and the performance fee can be about 30,000, but there is still a long way to buy a house. In the past few years of working in Mahua, it is better to give Quan Director I'm writing half a script.

Shen Tong is a meritorious actor in Mahua, and is also Yan Fei's senior brother in military arts. If his senior brother has an appointment, he will always be there when called.

"What to eat?"

"hot pot!"

I just didn’t expect that the real organizer of this hot pot game was Liu Yifei!

Although we all worked together in the past, things are different now. At the time, Liu Yifei was just a young actress with endless potential, but now she is a real international movie queen, an actress who can compete with four other actresses.

Liu Yifei, who has achieved both love and career success, glowed red under the hot pot. Wang Qi couldn't help but praise, "Sissi's metabolism is really good. Not only did she not gain weight during the New Year, but she still dared to eat hot pot. I can't. I gained several pounds during the New Year."

Of course, that's what she said, but she still ate the hot pot and had to control it. It would be too short-sighted for her to be picky about Liu Yifei's treat.

Liu Yifei laughed, "I am also hungry and full. After this meal, I will have to eat vegetarian food for a few days. But we haven't seen each other for a long time. We must eat and drink happily. Let me mention one thing first..."

After experiencing life and filming in the Northeast for more than half a year, Liu Yifei has been tempered. Except for Wang Qi, all the people present are from the Northeast. Listening to Liu Yifei's words feels particularly cordial.

After chatting for a while, Liu Yifei got down to the topic, "Brother Teng, you made a movie last year, how did it feel?"

"It's good to make a movie. If you can't remember the lyrics, it's fine. It's not like acting in a play. If you can't remember the lyrics, you have to make them up on the spot. It's so uncomfortable." Shen Tong spoke his heart. He is famous. People who have difficulty memorizing words often have problems even on Spring Festival evenings. Fortunately, his golden partner Ma Li can always support him.

Oops, I won’t mention these anymore, my girlfriend should be unhappy again.

Then Liu Yifei looked at Peng Damo again, "Brother Damo, I heard that you stayed on the crew of "Rich Second Generation" for a while and also participated in the work of the director team."

"Oh, it's just a matter of starting from scratch, beating from the beginning~" Nortel senior Peng Damo said modestly, "But it's really a lot of experience. Whether it's teamwork or shooting techniques, it's different from what I usually see. It would be different if it were replaced by something else. Director, this film will take at least two months to shoot, and the quality will have to be compromised."

Yan Fei nodded. If Ma Hua hadn't still had a job at that time, he would have really wanted to continue working on the crew of "Rich Second Generation". However, they learned a lot in just over half a month.

Wang Qi also lamented, "Brother Teng and I went to the cinema to support it on the first day. Director Quan's movie is as smooth as ever. No wonder the box office is so good. One billion is no problem."

"In that case, how about we also make a comedy."

Shen Pain said, "Ah, us? We don't have the right to guide?"

"We don't have the right to direct, it's just us!" Liu Yifei pointed at herself, at Shen Tian, ​​and then at Yan Fei and Peng Damo. As for Wang Qi, it's a pity that the heroine already has herself.

Then Liu Yifei asked, "Have you heard of "Brewster's Millions"? It doesn't matter if you haven't..."

"I've heard of it," Peng Damao said.

Yan Fei, "I remember the original novel must be a hundred years old, it's an antique."

Shen Pain said, "Although the story is very old, there are many adaptations. There are at least a dozen versions. They have been filmed in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and India. It is such a classic!"

Then he and Yan Fei and Peng Damo began to express different opinions on the differences, advantages and disadvantages of each version.

Liu Yifei:......

You guys make me look stupid, you know?

She forcibly interrupted the showoff of several people, "Well, Wang Dao bought the rights to adapt this story and is going to invite Brother Teng and me to star in it. As for the director, he said that Director Yan and Director Peng are extremely talented and will definitely become big names in the future. So I am willing to invite the two directors to participate in Wang Dao’s Stars and Sea project and use this movie to practice your skills.”

Yan Fei and Peng Damo were all stunned. When they first knew that they had something to do with this, they thought they would continue to let them participate in the screenwriting. At most, they would be assistant directors. Unexpectedly, they would be allowed to be full-time directors. The power of life and death in the movie!

Director Quan, no, adoptive father!

Shen Tong is also a little happy. Since starring in Ning Hao's "Crazy Nian Beast", he has half a foot in the film industry. He is very confident that it is only a matter of time before he becomes famous.

But can Ning Hao compare with Wang Quan? Now Wang Quan has named him. Wang Quan’s eyes are so vicious. Maybe he will be the next Huang Bo!

No, I am much prettier than Huang Bo~

Shen Tong patted the table, "Then what are you waiting for? Come on, I'll take this movie. Xiao Fei, Da Mo, you two can't let your guard down."

The two directors were actually brought up by Shen Tong. Shen Tong was not only a meritorious actor in Mahua, but also the earliest director.

After hearing what he said, the two of them humbly said, "Brother Teng will have to help us when the time comes."

I have directed a drama, but drama and film are different systems, so this thing is quite challenging.

Liu Yifei reassured them, "It's okay. I will be your producer. I am familiar with film matters."

She also drank and ate well, and started to treat her like a lavish person.

At this time, Wang Qi looked at his phone and said in surprise, "Oh, "Crazy Nian Beast" is scheduled to be released on New Year's Day next year!"

Just now, Galloping Horse and Ning Hao announced the schedule of "Crazy Nian Beast". This movie, which was originally planned to hit the Lunar New Year block, has confirmed the slogan of Happy New Year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and is the first to seize the opportunity of the Spring Festival block. .

After Xu Zheng, who was far away in Shanghai, heard the news, he silently crossed out the option of the Spring Festival stall. The Spring Festival stall was indeed suitable for comedy, but as a new director he did not dare to compete with Ning Hao, so he might as well go to the Lunar New Year stall.

Shen Tong glanced at it, "It's so sudden, I didn't even know it."

Then he asked his girlfriend to comment and like it for him.

But he saw Liu Yifei touching her chin thoughtfully.

"Yifei, what are you thinking about? Have you eaten too much? How about some fruit?"

Liu Yifei shook her head, "I was thinking, Director Quan told me that our movie will be released during the Spring Festival next year, so Brother Teng, you will have to beat yourself up~"

Wang Qi's eyes lit up, and he looked at his man with admiration. During the 2010 Lunar New Year, Uncle Ge appeared in three movies, establishing his transcendent status as the number one comedy movie maker in the mainland. Although Teng Ge only had two movies, one Ning Hao The director, a film hand-picked by the king, is so impressive that his man is about to take off!

Thinking of this, her bright eyes suddenly dimmed. Could such a shining man still be her man?

However, Shen Tong didn't notice his girlfriend's complicated inner drama at all. He first had a headache, "The script of comedy is very important. Director Ning has been working on this script for two years. There are still 360 days until the Spring Festival next year. Isn't this a little bit... Are you rushing?"

Yan Fei and Peng Damo also nodded. It takes them a year and a half to write a drama script, and then they slowly polish it in a small theater, and it takes a year or two to officially promote it.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Director Quan has already written the outline, but this time the screenwriter needs two directors to take the lead. You just need to follow his outline and fill in the details."

The two directors were relieved to hear that they were led by a big boss. This was a smooth sailing!

After Shen Tong posted on Weibo to promote "Crazy Nian Beast", Yang Mi followed suit with a wave of likes and comments.

She was in Shanghai to promote "Why is the Shengxiao Silent" and she made an appointment with Tang Yan for afternoon tea.

Both girlfriends are a little worried, as they have the worst movie numbers during the Spring Festival.

Yang Mi read the reviews of the movie, and they all responded that the essence of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" is the reunion of the male and female protagonists after several years.

However, in order to take advantage of the youth theme, the movie version mainly plays the plot of the college period, so it will inevitably disappoint the original party. However, in fact, the reputation is much stronger than "Happy Eight Stars".

"Oops!" Yang Mi, who was looking at Maoyan, suddenly smiled at Tang Yan, ""Why Sheng Xiao Mo" has already beaten "Eight Stars" at the box office that day!"

Tang Yan hid her face and sighed, "I accept my fate. The heroine is not me anyway."

"I am not the heroine of "Why Shengxiao Mo", but today's box office performance is good, maybe it can exceed 100 million, by the way," Yang Mi put down the drink in her hand, "Tangtang, "Why Shengxiao Mo" is going to be made into a TV series Come on, how about you play the heroine?"

The copyrights of several of Gu Man's novels are in the hands of Wang Dao, which is equivalent to the hands of Mi Shi. This time when filming the drama, we must learn from the lesson and focus on the plot a few years later.

Tang Yan did not refuse, "Okay, I'll tell Sister Hua later."

At this time, Yang Mi's cell phone "dinged" again, and her expression became very strange.

"What's wrong Mimi?"

Yang Mi, "Master Xing just sent me a message that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has also been confirmed to be released during the Spring Festival next year, so I should be prepared for publicity."

Tang Yan: "So..."

Yang Mi: "So next year I will beat myself up!"

Two days after Yang Mi left the Magic City, Wang Quan took Xiao Yu'er to the Magic City. He took his daughter around during the day and participated in an hour-long movie promotion event in the evening.

If it were later, I would hand over Xiao Yu'er to Sister Fei Hong and sleep with Zhang Zilin, or I would hand over Xiao Yu'er to Zhang Zilin and sleep with Sister Fei Hong, but they couldn't let the two of them know.

In fact, the road show promotion only needs the leading actors to take the lead. Director Wang Quan can be more worry-free in promoting this movie, because the movie's box office performance is very smooth, its reputation is ahead of the same period, and it has no rivals at the box office. The steady explosion during the Spring Festival period is also Got verified.

The first day was 126 million, the second day was 140 million, the third day was 135 million, and the fourth day was 127 million. It was not until the fifth day that the box office was finally lower than the first day, 119 million, and the Spring Festival holiday was still one day away.

"Rich Second Generation" has set another record, becoming the movie with the most consecutive 100 million days.

At the same time, the domestic box office of "Mission: Impossible 4" also exceeded 280 million US dollars. With the help of the mainland market, the film's global box office officially exceeded 550 million US dollars.

Because the movie had its global premiere in 2011, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" ($547 million) was squeezed to the 11th place on the 2011 global box office list, missing the top ten.

Wang Quan is relatively optimistic about this. After the rise of the mainland market, it will not be difficult to reach the top ten in the world.

At this time, "Rich Second Generation" also began to earn overseas box office, but the effect was far less explosive than "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

During the Spring Festival, the film was launched in markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. Although they basically won the box office championship on the day, that was because there were no Hollywood blockbusters in the same period. However, this is a level that other Chinese films cannot reach. If nothing unexpected happens, this movie will still become the Chinese-language film with the highest overseas box office in 2012, and it will not be a problem to earn tens of millions of dollars at the box office.

The sixth day of the Lunar New Year is the last day of the holiday. "Rich Second Generation" has a box office of 108 million. It has exceeded 100 million for six consecutive days. There should be no seventh day.

The total box office of the movie in these six days was as high as 755 million. This box office is second only to "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" among Chinese films and higher than "To Youth". It is simply crazy.

Other movies also performed well. "Mission: Impossible 4" had a box office of over 300 million, "Backlash" had a box office of over 100 million, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" had a box office of 90 million, "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" had a box office of 50 million, and "Eight Stars Hug" had a box office of over 30 million. "Happy" had a box office of 45 million.

During the 6-day holiday, it created a total box office of 13.5, with an average daily box office of more than 200 million.

During the Spring Festival holiday in previous years, the box office was only one to two hundred million at most. With so much extra box office out of thin air, the leaders of the film bureau went crazy with joy. This is all a political achievement!

Now that January is not over yet, the box office is already close to 2 billion. Needless to say, 20 billion for the whole year can really be expected.

Wang Quan received calls from many leaders at home, including Mr. Han, who were full of praise for him. Although the overseas box office performance of "Rich Second Generation" was far less than that of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it created a new chapter in the hearts of the leaders. The value of "Rich Second Generation" released during the Spring Festival is no worse than "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". This is creating a new schedule out of thin air!

This year’s Spring Festival stall was so successful, next year will definitely be no different.

Unexpectedly, "Crazy Nian Beast" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" have been scheduled for next year's Spring Festival, and they have started to warm up a year in advance.

Now the film bureau has begun to think about what kind of lineup it will put on this time next year so that the audiences who go to the cinema this year can maintain this habit.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I started to go to work. Wang Quan also attended the 7th Directors Guild Awards in Beijing~
