You don't understand the happiness of the director
Chapter 533: One billion easily, looking forward to twenty, first kill Japan and South Korea, then E
Although "The Fairy Tale" only has 3% of the scheduled screenings, that's still nearly 5,000 screenings, which were taken from several other movies that were already in a tight schedule.
Therefore, this comedy movie that suddenly came in has become the target of public criticism of Haxiong during the Spring Festival.
Especially Huayi, Bona and Guangguang. The movies they release do not have a good reputation, so they are especially taboo about such little bastards.
It would be fine if "The Fairy Tale" is some kind of trashy three-nothing movie, but this movie has a very strong cast.
The cast includes Sun Li, one of the most popular TV dramas nowadays, Guo Degang, one of the cross talk brothers, two Hong Kong stars Zheng Yijian and Zheng Zhongji, as well as guest stars such as Hu Jian, Yu Qian, Cai Shaofen, Lin Gengxin, Huang Yi, etc., which are very attractive to some viewers.
Therefore, we must not let the other side gain momentum. After 11 o'clock on the third day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as the first episode of "The Great Talker" was finished, the hot search term "The Great Talker is ugly" directly topped the list on Weibo. s position.
"Shameless, so shameless!" Liu Zhenwei yelled angrily.
Originally, the release time of my movie was not good, there were not many films scheduled, and the box office was not expected to be too high. It was already like this, and you still come to mess with me. I just want to make some pension money, why is it so difficult!
Han Han, who was browsing Weibo, also saw this hot search and laughed, "What a simple business war~"
Then he put away his phone and continued to write the theme song for "We Will See You Again", "I once crossed mountains and seas, uh, and also crossed mountains and seas of people..."
King's Road Building.
Although it was during the Spring Festival holiday, several companies were still bustling with activity. Yu Feihong couldn't stay at home for two days. Although her parents had completely given up on the plan of urging the marriage, their eager eyes were more lethal. It's better to go back to the company and hide away.
Wang Quan saw her coming to the company and called her to the office with a text message.
Yu Feihong knew it well and locked the door after entering. Since Wang Quan got married, they had not been in contact for more than half a month.
So when the royal power just touched her waist, she softened, while the royal power was just the opposite.
Wang Quan said: "I just went to Tianjin to promote the movie. I'm really tired."
"So..." Yu Feihong thought there was no exciting program today.
In the end, Wang Quan said: "So sister, please press it for me."
With that said, he carried Sister Feihong into the bedroom inside. Wang Quan lay down and let Yu Feihong sit on his back.
Yu Feihong gave her a gentle blow and started to get serious. In order to save her some effort, Wang Quan took off all her clothes.
Sister Feihong is not professional, but her service is full of love, so Wang Quan is still very comfortable.
While enjoying it with his eyes closed, he kept mouthing, "The atmosphere during the Spring Festival today is not so strong, and the market price is estimated to be just over 400 million."
Suddenly, Wang Quan turned over, and Yu Feihong thought he was about to get down to business, but in the end Wang Quan got out of bed and took out a bottle of essential oil from the drawer.
"Forgot about this thing. Sister, use this. It's much better than pressing hard."
"You really treat me as a professional, huh!" Yu Feihong poured some on his hand and continued, "Who used this before?"
"Jiang Jiang left it behind. That girl is interested."
An hour later, Yu Feihong was still sticky, and Wang Quan wanted to help her. After taking a bath, the two of them hugged each other and rested on the bed. It was not dark yet, so they didn't want to delay going home for dinner in the evening.
After today, Mimi will move back to her and Wang Quan's home, Xiao Yu'er will be left with her grandparents, and Gadot will follow Wang Quan everywhere to promote the movie.
After ten o'clock, Wang Quan took a look at the day's box office. The single-day box office of "The Fairy Tale" with 3% of the scheduled films was only 1.5 million, which was similar to "The Return". It can be said to be quite a failure.
In addition, Maoyan scored 5.8 and Douban scored 4.7, and the downward trend is obvious, which once again confirms the authenticity of the words "big talkers are ugly".
The sniper operation was still successful. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, only more than 1% of the filming schedule of "The Fairy Tale" was left. It died silently, and it was not a good time period, which was left to the memory of fans of the starring role. one time.
Yue Yunpeng was very fortunate to have booked the theater on the first day of release and invited his brothers to watch the movie, supporting Master and Uncle Qian'er. If it had been another day later, he probably wouldn't have been able to find a suitable film schedule.
If it were on another schedule, with such a star cast, no matter how bad the reputation was, it would not be a problem to get a box office of 10 to 20 million, but now, 10 million has become a luxury.
At the maternity hospital, Deng took away Sun Li's mobile phone, who was about to give birth to a baby. "Okay, stop looking at it. It's so annoying."
Sun Li sighed, "I feel like I have said goodbye to the film industry completely."
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" has kept her popularity to this day, but the movie has turned out like this. Maybe she really has no connection with the film industry.
Deng Chao comforted Sun Li, "It's okay. I'll ask you to be the heroine in the next movie I direct."
He is extremely confident in his career as a director. Not only can he be on par with director Xing Ye Quan, he can at least reach the level of his younger brother Chen Sicheng.
Later, Deng Chao also took a look at the terrible reports about "The Fairy Tale" and said, "Everyone releases it on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but it has to be released on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Isn't this courting death? The publisher must be smart, this kind of The schedule must be followed by the big team."
Although only "The Fairy Tale" is on the hot search, in fact, he is not the only one to suffer from word-of-mouth crisis during the Spring Festival. "Havoc in Heaven" and "Omen" are also not far behind, but they are large in scale and not negative at all. The reviews weren't even remotely crushing, and the star cast was much more appealing.
I just didn't expect that even a commercial film with such excellent standards as "Leng Feng" would be criticized by the Internet, and it was the most serious accusation against film creators - plagiarism!
On the fourth day of the lunar new year, a hot search item "Leng Feng plagiarized Dan Dan Long Wei" quietly made it to the top 20 hot searches in the entertainment category on Weibo.
Although it was quickly removed, it still caused a lot of discussion on Weibo, Tieba and major forums.
What I'm talking about is that the plot structure of "Leng Feng" plagiarized "The Great and Powerful" starring Li Lienjie, Zhang Xueyou, and Qiu Shuzhen.
A bodyguard with a strong military background and a mysterious background, a timid and funny employer, a luxury hotel that is inaccessible, a group of murderous desperadoes, and a beautiful reporter lady (Gadot's character) who has an emotional bond with the hero. , this is too much of a coincidence.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Although the hot search on Weibo was eliminated, the discussion was in full swing elsewhere.
Although most netizens are using the words "adapted from real deeds" and "the second male lead is the director, not Long Wei, the eldest brother Cheng Long" to support Wang Quan, there is a small group of people who are keen on watching Wang Quan's jokes and like to portray the public in a certain way. The god pulled down the altar.
And often the outliers in the public outcry are the most eye-catching.
At this time, some people even pointed out the similarities between some scenes of "Inception" and "Paprika". Little did they know that "Inception" was released earlier than "Paprika", and when "Inception" was released, " The production of "Red Hot Chili Peppers" has also been completed, and it can only be thought of by the two directors to work together.
The publicity team of "Leng Feng" noticed this, but there is no way to prove its innocence. Including the gimmick adapted from King Power's Bodyguard, these are hot spots created by the tabloids themselves based on clues and are not officially promoted.
The official promotion of "Adapted from true events" has always been about the well-known incident of the Mumbai terrorist attacks, not the lone hero Leng Feng.
And it is impossible for Wang Quan to really expose Xiao Wei to the public in order to promote the movie. There is a huge risk in this.
Since there is no way to prove one's own innocence, then find the slanderer. There are traces on the Internet. At this time, who is most beneficial to pouring dirty water on "Leng Feng"?
It’s not clear who is most advantageous, but Wang Jing knows that he seems to be the most suspicious, because "A Mighty Man" is the work of his director and screenwriter!
Moreover, his "Omen" and "Leng Feng" are competitors for the Spring Festival release, so there is a motive for the crime!
After the incident became a big deal, Wang Jing worriedly asked Bona's publicity staff whether they were responsible for the plagiarized news.
This is not about the king's power, it's about me!
What kind of reputation does Wang Quan have in the industry? If I criticize him, netizens will only call me Wang Jing, a fat pig who doesn’t know the heights of the world. After this storm passes, who will say that Wang Quan plagiarized me?
Moreover, he has also watched "Leng Feng", and he can only say that the structure is similar, but far from plagiarism, and the script is much better than what he has created in a few weeks.
Bona Propaganda said it had nothing to do with them. They have been working hard to belittle "Ukrainian" and steal viewers from them. After all, their reputation is better than "Urban".
Wang Jing doesn't care about that much anymore. Although his surname is Wang, he understands that when he mixes in the mainland, he must not offend anyone named Wang, including Wang Qiankun, Wang Quan and his son, Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun brothers, and Wang Jianlin, the largest theater chain in Wanda.
So he posted a long article on Weibo, clarifying the "plagiarism" theory in a joking tone.
Younger brother Wang Jing: “I heard that I was plagiarized by director Wang Quan. I was so excited that I quickly watched “Leng Feng” and prepared to ask him for hush money. Then my joy cooled down and was replaced by outpouring of admiration.
Action movies in confined spaces are a very common setting, but director Wang Quan has taken this genre to a new level, which is breathtaking.
The excellence of "Leng Feng" does not even lie in the cleverness of the action scenes or the explosion of gunfight scenes, but in the creation of characters. Although Leng Feng descends to earth like a killing god, he is a warm killing machine. From Quan Zhiyong, I see the open-mindedness of film and television people who make fun of themselves. Congratulations to Wu Jing and Xiao Ming for getting what may be the most important roles in their lives.
Finally, I would like to say that I hope that my peers during the Spring Festival can make a fortune together and prosper our market together. "
Unexpectedly, Wang Jing actually reached a higher level in the end, which showed that he has a great perspective on the overall situation. It seems that he is getting more and more adapted to the environment in the mainland.
This article also brought him great popularity and gained a lot of goodwill.
Wang Quan has too many fans in the film industry. A little care of Wang Jing's business can make the box office of "Omen" better.
Moreover, Wu Jing and Huang Xiaoming, who are acquaintances with Wang Jing, also liked and replied to this Weibo, making the popularity even higher.
This time, Weibo didn’t stop it from trending.
Crazy caller: What happened? Before I read Wang Jing’s Weibo, I didn’t know Director Quan was accused of plagiarism!
Akigami: Damn it, I just finished watching "Cold Front", and I also rewatched "Mouse Hard" not long ago. I didn't even expect that these two movies could be related. The association ability of some anti-fans is real. Strong!
I have a subsistence allowance. Now that the real owner, director Wang Jing, has come out, what else do the gangsters have to say?
Sorry, I'm the supervisor: I have something to say. Wang Jing must have received money from Director Quan to say this. There is a shady story here! [Dog head saves life]~
Thousand Years of Dreaming: In my opinion, Wang Quan’s ability as a screenwriter is even better than that of a director. He has won more screenwriting awards than directors. He can explain any complex plot clearly in his hands, and the script of "Cold Front" is It's a very conventional commercial action blockbuster, and its structure is far from exquisite. I believe that director Quan, who has reviewed countless films, must have thought about whether it would conflict with "Mouse Hard", but he insisted on filming it this way. It must be because This is the story that happened in reality. This is just a faithful restoration by a survivor who experienced the tragedy!
This reply from netizen "Dream for Thousand Years" quickly became a hot topic and received a lot of praise.
"Leng Feng", which was originally ranked 7.9 on Douban due to a large number of negative reviews due to the "plagiarism" controversy, quickly returned to the height of 8.0.
At the same time, the earliest source of the "plagiarism theory" was also found. It was not a competitor, but in the Douban group. When discussing the plot of "Leng Feng", someone said, "It's almost the same as Mighty Mouse", and then brought up the rhythm. .
It is also because Wang Quan is so popular that the rhythm can be brought up. It is an unintentional move, but it can also be said that some people did it intentionally.
But I also want to thank these people for bringing popularity to "Leng Feng". Immediately afterwards, Elena, a female reporter of the New York Times in Mumbai who was officially certified by Weibo, posted her first Weibo post on Weibo, and there was a picture. There are articles.
She claimed that she was the prototype of Anna, the heroine of "Cold Front", "At that time, it was indeed a young man who claimed to be a Chinese retired soldier who defeated the terrorists in the Taj Hotel and saved the people in one of our hotels. I heard that this incident was King David was made into a movie. I went to Xiangjiang to watch it. After watching it, I couldn’t stop crying for a long time. I didn’t expect that King David even captured my inner feelings. I really missed him so much. If he is not married, I am willing to marry him!"
In addition to this confession letter, there are also photos of the hotel scene, which cannot be said to be exactly the same as those shown in the movie "Cold Front", or they can be said to be almost inseparable.
Moreover, netizens also found the Twitter account of this female reporter, proving that she was indeed a survivor of the Taj Mahal Hotel.
For a time, public opinion boiled again.
"It turns out that cold fronts really exist" once again topped the list of hot searches!
Related terms occupy most of the top ten hot searches!
"Everything shot in "Leng Feng" is real!"
"Chinese soldiers are awesome!"
"Looking for Leng Feng!"
"When you marry, you must marry Leng Feng!"
"Leng Feng's sense of security"
In a hotel in Nanzhang, Li Xian pinched Wei Pijiang's muscles, hiding a knife in his smile.
"When you marry, you must marry Leng Feng!"
"I didn't know you had such a foreign love~"
"I'm still wondering why the director set the heroine to be a reporter. That's it!"
"This female reporter has blonde hair and blue eyes, and she's quite pretty~"
"Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"
Xiao Wei complained endlessly, boss, you killed me!
Originally, Wang Quan did not think of setting the heroine to be a reporter. It was Xiao Wei who said that at that time, a female reporter from the United States asked for her contact information, but he did not give it to her. It was quite interesting.
So this gave Wang Quan inspiration, and when arranging the role of Gadot, he designed it to be a female reporter who has some skills in boxing and is not a man's pendant. Unexpectedly, this female reporter has such a deep affection for Xiao Wei.
It's a pity that Xiao Wei is not his boss. He doesn't have the ability to walk among women easily. He doesn't know which woman the boss is enjoying himself with at the moment.

Magic City, a five-star hotel.
Wang Quan is enjoying Jiang Jiang's service with his eyes closed. As expected of a young man, he is much more skilled than Sister Fei Hong.
Today Wang Quan led a team to Shanghai to promote "Leng Feng", so he made an appointment with Jiang Jiang. We haven't seen her for a long time and I really miss her.
So Jiang Shuying canceled the class reunion and dedicated door-to-door service.
During the conversation, knowing that she had nothing to do now, Wang Quan said that he would say hello to Yang Mi and arrange for her to be the heroine of a TV series or something.
"Movie heroines have to wait for opportunities and depend on their luck."
"I'm not in a hurry~" Jiang Jiang said obediently.
Wang Quan then injected good luck into his former assistant.
While Wang Quan was taking a shower, she looked at the party photos sent by her classmates and felt that she and them were already in two different worlds.
If I went there by myself, I'm afraid they would all be uncomfortable.
Especially Zheng Kai, the box office of "The Ex-Raiders" starring in it was so bad that it couldn't even beat the animated film "Bear Bears", and it would most likely not have exceeded 100 million. If Huayi hadn't also released "Pleasant Goat", "The Ex-Raiders" would have been the Spring Festival The movie is at the bottom of the list.
However, at their class reunion, Zheng Kai started to brag after drinking some wine, "The director told me that he didn't expect Han Geng to be so irresistible to the box office. The price/performance ratio is so bad. He will make a sequel later and let me be the male lead." main character."
Everyone believes this. It is not unusual for Zheng Kai and Chen Chichi to play the male lead with Hua Yi as their backing. Zheng Kai also played the second male lead in "Private Customization" before, so it can be seen that they are very popular.
The next day, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Wang Quan took a look at the Maoyan box office list, and found that "Leng Feng" fell unexpectedly on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year compared to the third day of the Lunar New Year. It seems that the popularity of "plagiarism and counterfeiting" is indeed useful, and the Douban score has also risen to 8.1 points. The film and television character Leng Feng has become !
Jing Tian, the heroine of "The Last Day", was also paying attention to the box office charts. She couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that the film schedule of "The Last Day" had actually increased and the attendance rate seemed to be good.
Yesterday, director Wang Jing's Weibo operation gained some goodwill for their movie, and finally saw a glimmer of hope for resurrection. Early this morning, the total box office finally exceeded 100 million, and the attendance rate was second only to Leng Feng, I Am Not Wang Mao and Xiong Haunted, ranked fourth.
But it is incomparable to the next door movie "Upheaval in Heaven". She has more than 400 million dollars. If I had known that, I would have played the heroine in "Upheaval in Heaven".
That film had something to do with Wanda. If I had asked for it, I should have been able to get it. But it was a pity that I got a newcomer at a bargain price. The key is that the newcomer was not as good looking as I was, and his acting skills were not as good as mine, so this blockbuster was ruined in vain.
China Film Group.
Han Sanping took a look at the box office of "Havoc in Heaven". Although the box office is about to exceed 500 million, the single-day box office is already less than 80 million, less than half of "Leng Feng".
Moreover, the reputation of "Havoc in Heaven" is not good, and the attendance rate has been surpassed by many movies. According to the principle of optimal film scheduling, it is time to release the film.
But in a few days, he will retire from the position of chairman of China Film. This is the last big project China Film will participate in before his retirement. He hopes that he can have a perfect ending and at least break the 1 billion mark.
Except for the few films that it has invested in after Wang Dao and Qian Kun, China Film has not yet had a film with a main investment of more than 1 billion.
So he made a few calls, hoping that the major theater chains under China Film Group could regulate their film schedules and give the head office's works some support within their capabilities.
However, they are right as they say. The film scheduling rate of "Havoc in Heaven" has indeed gone up in several relevant theaters of China Film Group Corporation, but the films scheduled are basically morning and late night films. It is just that the film scheduling data has gone up, but it looks like Attendance has dropped even more.
Han Sanping sighed, they say people leave and the tea cools down, but this person hasn’t left yet~
On this day, Wang Quan got up from Jiang Jiang's bed and ran to Guangzhou and Shenzhen to promote it. The four major first-tier cities are all big ticket stores.
He returned to the capital that night, because Sissi also came back from Sanya. She bought a ticket to fly out from Sanya, but it was a bit expensive.
They met at Lao Wang's new courtyard home, and when they saw Sissi, she was playing with Xiao Yu'er in her arms.
Yang Mi said with a smile, "Everyone is very busy, so let Sissi take care of our daughter."
Gadot also said it was no problem.
Liu Yifei didn't mind. She pinched Xiao Yu'er's face and laughed at herself: "Then I won't be Dehua."
"What?" Yang Mi didn't understand, what about Liu Dehua?
Mei Yanqiu was surprised when she met a close friend, "Ah, Sissi, you are also watching "Parents' Love"!"
Liu Yifei nodded, "I watched it with my grandma and mom."
Then Mei Yanqiu told Mimi about the content of the new year drama "Qian Kun and Noon Sunshine". Yang Mi understood, "Then I will leave it to you to take care of my baby after I give birth, so as to gain some experience for you in the future."
Liu Yifei chuckled: "Look at my schedule, I'm very busy."
The main reason she came back this time was to talk to Li Xian about the cooperation details of "Don't Tell Her". She would also go to the United States to meet the director later. If everything went well, she would finish filming the American part in New York and then return to Northeast China.
Then Liu Yifei said again: "Mimi, I will borrow it from my husband tomorrow."
Seeing her parents-in-law leaving, Yang Mi said generously: "Why wait until tomorrow? I'll lend it to you today. I won't need it anyway, so you don't have to worry about the loss or anything like that."
Jadot smiled foolishly while chewing melon seeds.
"I don't need it tonight, I want him to go to the movies with me."
"What movie?"
"The movie that suits our relationship," Liu Yifei said with a smile, ""The Story of My Ex.""
Yang Mi pushed Gadot, "How about the three of you go and watch, I'll take care of the child."
Liu Yifei smiled: "Okay."
Although she said she didn't need it tonight, she was still entertained well that night, and Gadot didn't compete with her. She promoted her movie "Jinshuiluodai" and got the best of it.
"Lie down, I'll give you a Thai-style horse-and-cock-slaughter!" Wang Quan began to serve Sissi.
Early the next morning, while there were few people around, Wang Quan, Gadot, and Liu Yifei found a movie theater that had "Raiders of the Ex" scheduled. It was quite difficult to find, as the movie was only scheduled for six or seven spots.
Although there was no Xiao Wei watching, Wang Quan himself could feel that he was being filmed. He didn't care. At most, he couldn't touch their thighs while watching the movie.
And there’s not much to touch in the winter.
While they were watching the movie, the news that Wang Quan and Liu Yifei secretly watched the movie "The Story of the Ex" became a trending topic on Weibo.
This guy was a jerk when it came to taking photos. He only took photos of Wang Quan and Liu Yifei, leaving out Gadot on the other side.
The key is that he noticed Wang Quan and Liu Yifei because he first noticed the 1.75-meter-tall foreigner Gadot.
But after all, Gadot's popularity in China is not comparable to that of Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei also has the status of Yang Mi's best friend. Watching a movie with Wang Quan is far more topical than the three of them together.
It seems very safe for three people to watch a movie together, but the two of them are still in the relationship with their exes, and they are watching a movie like "The Story of the Ex", which makes it look very ambiguous. It looks like Yang Mi has a green head, so it is not surprising that it became popular. .
Upon seeing this, Huayi's publicity department immediately seized this opportunity and started marketing aggressively by capitalizing on the popularity of Wang Quan and Liu Yifei.
"If you fall in love, take her to see "The Story of My Ex"!"
As soon as this headline about the bought marketing account came out, it became popular again.
After Wang Quan and the two women walked out of the movie theater, people all over the country knew that Wang Quan and Liu Yifei were watching "The Story of the Ex" behind Yang Mi's back.
Winter without snow: I think Liu Yifei still needs to keep some distance from the royal power. After all, a man and a woman alone are to be feared.
Shen Changgeng: I'm just curious. Did they kiss while carrying Yang Mi?
Eating dog food with tears: What’s wrong with watching a movie? You are not allowed to say that about Sissi!
Qingfengmingyue_: Tsk, I'm afraid it's more than just watching a movie, but I can understand it. After all, that's Liu Tianxian, who can be willing to let go completely.
Reluctant to leave the leaves of the big tree: I remember Han Han once said that when a woman agrees to watch a movie with you, she tacitly agrees that she can sleep with you. These two people are inseparable.
Big Jelly 6464: According to what the person above said, there are too many women who are willing to sleep with me, but why the hell am I still a virgin!
First Leaf: What's the use of saying that? I'm just curious about what magic power this movie has that makes Director Quan and Liu Tianxian take such a big risk to watch it. No, I have to go and watch it.
There are many speeches like "The First Leaf", and they are basically Huayi's trolls. They frantically steer the topic towards the movie, arousing the public's curiosity about the movie.
In addition, the movie can be regarded as a passable romantic light comedy. After watching two commercial blockbusters, "Leng Feng" and "Havoc in Heaven", and still want to watch something light-hearted, this movie becomes a good choice. .
When I got home, I was not anxious at all when I saw the hotly searched Wang Quan.
First of all, the news of the death of Wu Ma, a veteran artist in Xiangjiang, became a hot search topic and took away some of the firepower.
Then Gadot posted a selfie of the three of them in a movie theater, "I am also my ex, and I was there too. Didn't the netizens take pictures of me?"
When Gadot proved that this was a three-person operation, Wang Quan and Liu Yifei's sense of guilt was basically gone.
Later, Yang Mi also forwarded the relevant report and left a message, "I have reported it, don't panic [grimace]~"
The real owners have come out to express that they are not worried, and the people who eat melons have nothing to say.
By the evening, the entry "Leng Feng's box office exceeded 1 billion" once again dominated the hot searches. The influence of Wang Quan and Liu Yifei was completely gone. Everyone was praising "Leng Feng" for its strong box office performance.
Ye Jiuwei: It broke one billion in less than six days. This 2 billion is stable!
Old man Long Aotian: Marrying Leng Feng is too out of line!
The famous Lao Wang: This is the shock of real people and real events!
Zhufenghan: Yes, I didn’t expect that there really is a cold front in the real world. My blood boils and I wish I had never been a soldier!
Xia Kexing: I’ve watched it three times and I can’t get enough of it. I really can’t get enough!
Monk Ivan: Director Quan really loves Wu Jing. Brother Jing has participated in several royal works, and now he is the protagonist.
wa0005: I am considered an insider, so I can quietly reveal that Director Quan and Brother Jing will collaborate in the future!
However, the box office exceeded 1 billion, and it was so easy, which still attracted people's hatred. Soon I saw some people concentrated on giving "Leng Feng" a low score, and lowered the score to 8.0.
"It seems that you Chinese soldiers are capable, right?"
"How did you film the military and police of other friendly countries? You really think they are fools!"
"Isn't this just a mindless Hollywood movie? Disappointing."
"The aura of Wang Quan is no longer there, but I still like "Li Xianji" and "Inception"."
"This movie is full of people wanting to make quick money. Don't be fooled!"
Among these negative reviews, a five-star positive review stood out because the person who posted the review was a celebrity certified by Douban.
Huang Xiaoming.
He just gave "Leng Feng" five stars.
Originally, the box office of the movie he starred in exceeded one billion, and he was very happy to finally catch up with the other three students. But when he saw these comments, he couldn't hold it back.
His girlfriend Yang Ying wanted to say, you are just the second male lead, there is no need to be so conceited.
But she also knows that Xiao Ming hates people saying he is the second male lead in "Leng Feng". He has always felt that he is one of the two male leads.
Just when Yang Ying was muttering about her boyfriend, Xiao Ming put down her phone, showed an evil smile, and stretched out her hand.
Yang Ying immediately fell into her arms, and Huang Xiaoming said gently: "I have good news for you. I am about to star in a movie directed by Zhang Yimou, as the male lead."
Zhang Yimou: No, no, no, this time there are really two male protagonists.
"Ah!" Yang Ying was pleasantly surprised, "I didn't hear any movement."
Then Huang Xiaoming talked about the project "Ghost Blowing Lamp Gaiden", which he and Yu Bo had already decided on, but it was only recently decided that the director would be the director.
"Don't tell anyone, it's still a secret. Next, Director Zhang will make a literary film, and I will make a guest appearance."
"Hmm, brother, can you arrange a role for me? You're talking about "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", a work directed by Zhang Yimou. I don't care how small the role is."
Huang Xiaoming hesitated for a moment: "Well, then I will help you with introductions~"
They were in love now, and Xiao Ming fell in love when he saw the baby's smile.

On the other side, Ni Ni said to Wang Quan, "I told Director Zhang that in the play "Pan Jinlian", no matter how small the role, even if it is a waiter, as long as he says a word, he will put down what he is doing and make a guest appearance."
Ni Ni had just returned to Beijing. After returning, she first visited Zhang Yimou and his wife, who were her mentors.
Wang Quan praised: "You did it right. You were able to come out. Director Zhang deserves the most credit, and I have to take second place."
When it comes to praising actors, especially actresses, Wang Quan thinks that he is not as good as Zhang Yimou. This is actually the director's level of training of actors. In this regard, Wang Quan is still a little young and basically uses mature actors.
"By the way, did Director Zhang tell me how Li Xuelian's search went?" Wang Quan asked.
"Well, I mentioned it and found a girl from Northeast China. She is from a major, I guess. She studied in Chinese opera and also played some small roles."
Wang Quan smiled and said: "Director Zhang likes to challenge difficult situations, but the heroines he likes are usually not too bad."
Now Ni Ni is considered to be the most prominent career girl after Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.
After that, Wang Quan told Ni Ni about the Directors Association Awards tomorrow. Ni Ni was shortlisted for Actress of the Year, and Wang Quan was also shortlisted for Director of the Year.
"Director, I saw a piece of news and I feel like you men might be very interested in it." Ni Ni said with a bad smile while lying in Wang Quan's arms.
"Oh? What?"
Ni Ni: "It seems that the East Building was swept, and the sweep was very thorough this time."
Wang Quan looked upright: "Just sweep it, I've never been there."
"Oh, really?" Ni Ni was amused.
"Of course, all I know about Dongguan is from Jia Zhangke's "Destiny". I think it must be a pity for him."
In fact, this is not the only regret about "Destiny". It was not successfully released last year. After that, the film was completely unable to be released. It is too sensitive to ask.
Moreover, pirated resources have been leaked recently, and some netizens posted on Weibo @Section Chief Jia, asking him to announce that Alipay would give him money for movie tickets.
Although it has been implicitly blocked, this Cannes award-winning film is still a strong contender for the Directors' Association Award.
The next day, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year and the last day of the Spring Festival, Wang Quan and Ni Ni came to the venue where the Directors Association Awards were held.
Xian Mi was not shortlisted, but Liu Yi Fei came over to support "Return", and they immediately sat together, but Ni Ni was a little embarrassed when she saw Liu Yi Fei.
Wang Quan saw that Han Sanping was also here. The old man was a little lonely, so Huang Jianxin sat next to him. They were good friends for life.
In fact, no one in the director circle dares to underestimate him. He has so many old disciples and old friends, and his influence is still there, but he is not as powerful as before.
The award ceremony officially started. The Hong Kong and Taiwan Director of the Year was awarded to Chen Kexin of "China Partner". This was almost not controversial. Chen Kexin was also shortlisted for Director of the Year.
For Young Actor of the Year, the kingly Li Fangfang lost to a little-known young director named Li Ruijun. His award-winning work was a local-themed film "Tell Them, I Ride on a White Crane."
A few years later, he had his more famous masterpiece "Into the Dust".
Actress of the Year went to Tang Wei ("Beijing Meets Seattle").
It is more difficult to win the Actor of the Year award, including Deng Chao in "The Sun Burns the Heart", Xin Boqing in "The Return", Zhang Hanyu in "Take the Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", and Jiang Wu and Bao Qiang in "Destined".
Deng Chao didn't come this time because his wife Sun Li's due date was within these two days and she could give birth at any time. He didn't dare to leave Sun Li's side for a minute.
Although he didn't come, the Actor of the Year award was still given to him.
Although everyone felt sorry for Xin Boqing, Deng Chao's performance was obvious to all, and it could be called a self-burning performance.
Next are the films of the year, "The Adventures of Li Xianji", "The Return", "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel", "Beijing Meets Seattle" and "Destined to Be".
The winner was "Li Xianji".
However, the biggest award of the Directors Association Award is Director of the Year, and this award was finally given to Zhang Yimou.
This means that young Wang Quan still has room for improvement.
After the awards ceremony was over, there was a tea party. Wang Quan let Ni Ni and Liu Yifei, two old friends, chat by themselves. He sat between Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin.
"What are your plans after Mr. Han retires?"
Han Sanping is sixty-one years old and still in good health. He will definitely not be willing to just grow flowers and fish at home from now on.
"What else can I do, that is, be a nominal consultant for some companies." There was some helplessness in these words.
Huang Jianxin said: "I was talking to him about this matter."
This means that Han Sanping will be brought to Wangdao as a consultant. His name may be used in future movies, which can be a deterrent to partners.
But this deterrent will become weaker and weaker as time goes by, and eventually it will even become a joke.
And Wang Quan had another suggestion: "Have you ever thought about starting a business?"
"Ah, why should I start a business at such an old age?" Han Sanping was a little scared, as he might lose money if he started a business.
If he starts a business, he will definitely attract directors, raise funds, find projects, and make movies. Small-cost movies are okay, but big-budget movies are still very risky. When he was in charge of China Film, many big projects lost money. In other words, the Chinese film industry has a great career, but for private companies, it is likely to be a disaster.
Wang Quan seriously analyzed: "This is what I think. Nowadays, the only foreign language films that can have box office in China are Hollywood, and Hollywood is not very good now. It only has a 30% share. I think it is necessary to introduce other films to the mainland market. Excellent works from countries and regions, such as "Three Idiots" from India, "A Little Thing About First Love" from Thailand, "The Gift of Room No. 7" from Kimchi Country, etc. Sometimes commercial films from these small countries can also give We were inspired a lot.”
Huang Jianxin said in surprise: "Boss, you are trying to lure a wolf into the house!"
"No, it is to increase market vitality and provide new profit growth points." Wang Quan said seriously.
"Although these movies were introduced in the past, the rigid film approval system wasted the popularity of the movies. Now is the era of globalization. If there are popular movies in foreign countries, the country will know about them immediately. If they are not introduced in time, they will watch them directly online. But originally these movies only needed a small amount of copyright fees to create huge box office and profits in our market, what a pity."
Han Sanping fell into deep thought. This was indeed much less risky than investing in movies by himself. He knew very well the prices of films approved by small countries. They were cabbage prices.
Wang Quan said seductively: "Mr. Han, you have connections and can promote the release of outstanding films as quickly as possible, and my dad has the funds..."
"Wait, why is it your dad?"
Wang Quan smiled and said: "I don't like this small amount of money, so if Mr. Han needs funds, he can ask Lao Wang. You two brothers will team up. It's not easy to make this money."
He gave an example, "Let's take "Three Idiots" as an example. It has a score of over nine on Douban and is regarded as a masterpiece. It was released two years later than its overseas release. It had zero publicity and was pirated everywhere. There are still more than 10 million votes for the next movie, so if it is released simultaneously, will it be difficult to get 100 million?"
Huang Jianxin worried: "If excellent films from all over the world are imported, will it hurt the vitality of Chinese-language films?"
Wang Quan laughed, "There are not many countries that can stably export qualified commercial films. The mainland is already the second largest market after Hollywood, and far ahead of the third. Let's take Indian movies as an example. If one is introduced every year, the audience will If you say Indian movies are amazing, if there are three or four movies every year, the audience will say that Indian movies are pretty good. If ten Indian movies are introduced every year, the audience will just say, why are Indian movies the same as Chinese movies, there are so many rubbish."
Huang Jianxin couldn't help but be happy after hearing this. This is indeed the truth. It is also used in Korean and Japanese films. In addition to Hollywood and the mainland, it is difficult to stably produce more than 10 excellent commercial films that meet the tastes of mainland audiences every year.
King Quan has never been afraid of competition, because Chinese-language films have the advantage of local complex. As the country becomes stronger and the people become more and more confident, this local advantage will only become stronger. Just as Americans don’t like to watch foreign-language films, Chinese people will certainly not like to watch foreign-language films. I will become less and less fond of watching foreign language films.
They may not even know what they did wrong and were abandoned by the mainland market.
Therefore, as long as the quality of local films and foreign-language films can be equal to, or even slightly lower than, they will definitely be ahead at the box office, and there is no need to worry about their living space being squeezed by excellent films from various countries.
If you are afraid of all this, then it can only be said that the filmmakers have no intention of providing excellent cultural products to the people.
Appropriate competition is definitely a good thing, but a market that is comfortable and where you can make a lot of money without seeking advancement is abnormal and unhealthy.
Moreover, there is another advantage of importing works from other countries besides Hollywood, and that is cultural influence.
Except for one royal film every year, most Chinese-language films have difficulty breaking into foreign markets. Sometimes they do a lot of marketing, but in the end they end up unable to make ends meet.
So instead of trying to fight them out, it's better to use the market as bait to bring them in.
Just like Hollywood, it used to ignore the mainland, but now it has begun to add Chinese elements to the mainland market, shooting scenes in China and using Chinese actors.
In the same way, when foreign films benefit from the huge mainland market, Chinese elements will become popular, and they will take the initiative to help Chinese culture go abroad.
It will also increase opportunities for exchanges between Chinese and foreign film industries. Through these official or private exchanges, it may be far easier to exchange our films and culture than it is for us to send it out ourselves.
Han Sanping was fascinated by what he heard. After the commendation meeting, he took Wang Quan and Huang Jianxin and talked until late.
Zhang Tianai sent messages and asked several times. She had just returned from her hometown in Northeast China. Wang Quan turned over her sign today, but no one came after waiting for a long time.
Later, they called Lao Wang, and Wang Quan took the opportunity to withdraw and let the three old men talk.
They had all seen excellent Soviet and Indian films back then, and were quite receptive to excellent foreign-language films. They were not satisfied with the monotony of Hollywood films in China today, except for Chinese-language films.
Our audience deserves better and tasteful work!
King Quan also left a reminder for them, "Shamir Khan's new film "P.K." has been filmed and will be released this year. You might as well try the waters with this film."
After saying that, Wang Quan ran to meet Zhang Tianai.
Xiaotian is actually back, but her level has no right to participate in this kind of thing.
After today, the seven-day Spring Festival holiday is officially over. The box office of "Leng Feng" exceeded 1.1 billion, "Havoc in Heaven" reached 500 million, and "Where Are We Going, Dad" and "I'm Not Wang Mao" both exceeded 200 million.
Because film schedules are tight during the Spring Festival, many viewers are deterred by the attendance. Therefore, after the Spring Festival, the film market is still prosperous, and it is estimated that it will not cool down until after the National Day.
The next day, Wang Quan, as the vice president of the Screenwriters Association, participated in the Screenwriters Association's commendation. Later, the Actors Association and the Photography Association will also hold annual commendations.
Under the leadership of the Directors Association Awards, awards from the four major film associations have now become a trend, especially in the industry. The recognition of the awards is higher than that of the three most popular ones in mainland China: Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao.
These three awards either represent the aesthetics of old-school filmmakers, are a manifestation of popularity and fan voting ability, or are a manifestation of the will of the government.
The association award is the recognition of professionals. Those who can win the award mean that they are recognized by their peers in the profession, and they will have more opportunities to get jobs in the future.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, "Leng Feng" was released in Japan and South Korea at the same time. The scale of the film schedule was Hollywood blockbuster-level treatment. With this film schedule and the lack of strong competitors in the same period, even if it was not the taste of Japanese and Korean audiences, the box office was not good. will be low.
Not to mention the flesh-and-blood action and gunfight scenes that captured the hearts of male audiences around the world.
While Wang Quan was in the office, he received exaggerated descriptions from Lin Yoona and Yui Aragaki about the overcrowding in the cinema.
Dorothy, who lives in the United States, also said that North American audiences can't wait to see the masterpiece directed by King David.
"The Adventures of Li Xianji" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, but the chances of winning the award were slim. Wang Quan and Long Toutou were discussing releasing "Cold Front" before the Oscars.
Therefore, "Cold Front" is scheduled to be released in North America on February 21st. There are no blockbusters in that schedule, they are all weak.
After the Lantern Festival + Valentine's Day on February 14th, Wang Quan will go to the United States. Not only will he promote his new film, but the post-production of "The Force Awakens" will also begin under his leadership.
But Liu Yifei couldn't wait any longer. After chatting with Li Xian, she became more and more fond of "Don't Tell Her". After all, she also has an elderly grandmother who sympathizes with the heroine.
So on the tenth day of the lunar month, she took Sister Xiaoli and Li Xian to Los Angeles.
However, after meeting the director Wang Ziyi in Los Angeles, she was not very enthusiastic, "Actually, you are not my favorite heroine candidate."
The heroine Liu Yifei was Li Xian's choice for the market, but Wang Ziyi did not agree with it.
"To put it bluntly, you are too beautiful, and your Mandarin is too standard."
Liu Yifei blinked, this, this person speaks very nicely~
(Twelve thousand again! Thanks to the little tiger in the devil world for always giving rewards!)
