You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 608 ① Welcome director Quan to Japan ② Hanfu craze ③ Asian movie pork sharing conference ④ Movie queen Yifei!

The time has come. Wang Quan has communicated with the casting team and can start the next step.

Then he flew to Tokyo to attend the 39th Neon Film Academy Awards Ceremony.

This is his first time participating in this award. The main reason is because there are many girls in Tokyo that he misses, such as Yui Aragaki, Nozomi Sasaki, Haruka Ayase and Masami Nagasawa. The secondary reason is that he was shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film Award. .

This year Naihara and Masami were both nominated, and they would meet during the awards ceremony, so Wang Quan went to Yui Aragaki's house as soon as he got off the plane. Nozomi Sasaki was also waiting for him there, saying that he wanted to teach him Japanese. What? Kuyikuyamei disc or something.

Because Nozomi Sasaki once mentioned that she wanted to touch Wang Quan's trophy, Wang Quan brought over the "Parasite" Best Director Award. Unexpectedly, it was not this trophy that she wanted to touch.

Nozomi Sasaki's acting career has not made much progress in recent years, but the cosmetics company that Wang Quan helped her invest in is booming.

Aragaki Yui's career has been on the rise, and her influence in Asia has been further enhanced after "Lee Dog Hi", but she is still a Buddhist. She only shoots one drama or one movie at most every year, and then she just enjoys life and stays at home.

After spending the whole day with them, Wang Quan came to the International Pavilion of the New Takanawa Hotel in Tokyo to attend the Academy Awards Ceremony, known as the Neon Oscars.

The host is a man and a woman. The woman is Miyazawa Rie, who has acted in "A Dream in the Garden" by Wang Zuxian and Wu Yan.

After entering the arena, Wang Quan first found his old classmate Umekawa Hideo.

This time, the Tokyo branch of Dragon Head has achieved great results, with two hit movies including "100 Yuan Love" and "Bottom Hot Girl".

Among them, "Bottom Hot Girl" was directed by Umekawa Hideo himself. It was released in the mainland during the summer vacation last year. Although its presence was not high, it still earned 100 million box office. Umekawa Hideo was very happy that his work could achieve high box office in China.

And he also trained a super popular newcomer, Kasumi Arimura.

"Squad leader, this is Kasumi Aimura, who is called the village beauty in the country." Umekawa introduced.

This girl's face is a bit round, and her appearance is not as good as that of another village beauty, but her acting skills are another matter.

She saw that Wang Quan, the international director who swept the Oscars and Cannes and topped the box office history, was still a little frightened, and his body was a little swaying when he bowed.

Wang Quan laughed and said, "You did a good job. You will definitely win an award this year."

Just as he was talking, Ayase Haruka and Nagasawa Masami also came over. Nagasawa Ami said sourly, "Oh, if she wins the prize, then our sister Haruka won't get it."

The two women were nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively for "Umi Street Diary", and Kasumi Arimura was also a Best Actress nominee.

Wang Quan laughed: "I think the one you are more confident about is the Best Newcomer Award."

Ayase Haruka was also modest: "I don't have much confidence in the Best Actress."

Wang Quan knows who she is afraid of, Sakura Ando from "One Hundred Dollar Love".

After a while, the crew of "100 Yuan Love" also came. Next to Ando Sakura, Miyoshi Ayaka, who had flown on the King Power plane, was also shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award.

But the final winner is Jun Arimura, the future popular neon actress.

Then "Parasite" also unexpectedly won the best foreign language film.

Sakura Ando won the best actress as expected, and "100 Yuan Love" also won the best screenplay, and she could sell the adaptation rights later.

Kore-eda Hirokazu won the best picture and best director for "Ume Street Diary".

Umekawa Hideo's heart felt so cold. He just won a Newcomer Award for co-writing. His film was Neon's biggest hit of the year, one of the top ten of the year, and it was the only one that had nothing to do with comics!

If "Attack on Titan" is considered a live-action movie, "Bottom Girl" is the second best local live-action movie!

Wang Quan didn't have time to comfort him. He had already made so much money at the box office and still wanted awards, so don't be so greedy.

At this time, it was obvious that Ayase Haruka and Nagasawa Masami, who had not won the award, were more worthy of comforting themselves. It was quite a rush to comfort two of them in one night.

But he almost forgot that Sanji Ayaka didn't win the prize either, and she also needed comfort.

Fortunately, her good brother Umekawa Hideo reminded her. When Wang Quan was about to fly to Omen, Umekawa asked her to take Sanji Ayaka with her.

Wang Quan went to Omen to attend the 10th Asian Film Awards, and he also had to bring Nai Yao with him, who was nominated for Best Actress.

"Although Sanji Ayaka was not shortlisted, she got the opportunity to be the award guest."

The company still favors her, which is understandable, after all, she was cast in "Pacific Rim 2".

The time has come, Nagasawa Masami reluctantly hangs on Wang Quan, "Ah, why was I not shortlisted! This award is really unsightly!"

Wang Quan kissed her again and again, and then took Ayase Haruka to the airport and met up with Sanji Ayaka.

Sanji Ayaka felt that she could no longer be reserved. There would be fewer and fewer opportunities to contact Director Wang Quan in the future, so she must seize it this time.

So after getting on the plane and taking off Miyoshi Ayaka's coat, Wang Quan saw that her capacity was comparable to Haruka Ayase.

The key point is that she doesn't seem to be wearing a bra. She is very stylish and her temptation is doubled!

Although her surname was not Hebei, she was a beautiful colorful flower after all. Two hours after the plane took off, she walked into the bedroom where Wang Quan was resting. Ayase Haruka looked at it without any expression.

As long as Wang Quan didn't invite her in, she would just pretend to be dead. She was thin-skinned. If she hadn't been dragged into the trap by Nagasawa Masami, she wouldn't have been able to do such a thing.

As a result, an hour later, Wang Quan poked his head out and asked her, "Haruka-chan, are you coming?"

Under the gaze of Xiaotian and Xue Fu, Ayase Haruka walked in sheepishly. Some things cannot be stopped once they start.

When Wang Quan arrived in Omen with several beauties, "Xiaoyaoyou" officially announced on the domestic Douyin platform that the second round of casting activities had begun.

"Because "Xiaoyaoyou" is a fantasy work in ancient costume, the applicants who have been rejected will be asked to shoot a set of costume videos. The makeup can be designed by oneself, or a professional can be hired."

Next, you have to spend money, whether it is buying ancient costumes or hiring a professional stylist. This step will make many ordinary girls who are short of money give up, but most people are not willing to give up this opportunity.

Born in 1999, 17-year-old Wang Churan is a student at the Opera School affiliated with Shanghai Opera. He is over 1.7 meters tall and has outstanding appearance and temperament.

For the casting of "Xiaoyaoyou", she downloaded and registered Douyin, and as expected, she was copied due to her good looks.

After passing the first level, now it’s the second level, ancient costumes, hahaha, isn’t this hitting on her strengths? As a girl studying drama, her ancient costumes are more beautiful than modern costumes.

And there are a lot of costumes in the school, and her classmates also know how to style them. However, she didn't have a good relationship with her classmates in the dormitory, so she asked the teacher to help her with the makeup and made a video. She was among the first batch to hand in her answer sheet. candidate.

Some beautiful girls are suitable for ancient costumes, while others are suitable for modern costumes.

Zhang Jingyi, a literary activist at Tongshenghu International Experimental School in Changsha, is a sophomore in high school at the school. She was also born in 1999 and is 17 years old, one year younger than Zhou Ming.

She bought some Hanfu online, but she didn't feel good-looking after wearing it. Her facial features were so profound that it seemed almost boring to wear Hanfu.

So she simply turned to her mother for help. Her mother ran a clothing store and had a high level of aesthetics.

After putting on the clothes chosen by her mother and having her hair and makeup done by herself, Zhang Jingyi gained the confidence to shoot a video, but she was still a little uneasy inside, as if there was no ancient charm in her video.

My mother also said: "My dear, you are actually more suitable for Hong Kong style."

Zhang Jingyi also has her mother to help, but some girls have no one to discuss with at this time.

Sun Yining, who was also born in 1999 and is also from Hunan Province, was lucky enough to be cast in "Xiaoyaoyou" due to her amazing beauty.

But next time she took a look at the costumes, she looked at the Hanfu online. Most of them were average, but the good ones were really expensive.

She was born in a rural area in Changde. Her parents divorced when she was young. Although the award was given to her father, he remarried and started a family. She was raised mainly by her grandparents. She barely finished junior high school and began to enter the society.

Moreover, I don’t know how to style the clothes myself, so I have to spend money on styling them.

But she is unwilling to give up this opportunity to rise to the top in one step. Although the chance of being selected by Director Wang Quan is very small, as long as she participates, her number of fans will grow. In this Internet era, as long as you have fans, you can make money.

However, Douyin has not started live streaming yet, so she logged into Douyu Live, planning to try live streaming to see if she could earn enough money to buy clothes and style herself.

Although this is a competition among more than 200 young ladies, the official proposal of "Xiaoyaoyou" aroused the curiosity of the entire Internet about ancient costume styles. For a time, Douyin was full of ancient costume ladies, selling those Hanfu was so happy.

Wang Quan looked at the costume lady on Douyin for a while, and then looked at Maoyan.

It started screening on Tuesday and was officially released on Friday. It has now been a full week. The total box office of "Parasite" in the mainland has exceeded 800 million. The momentum is still very strong and will soon exceed 1 billion, because in March, in addition to "Justice" There are no strong blockbusters except "Dawn", and the market is very empty. "Parasite" has every hope of exceeding 2 billion.

If there were not so many awards to support it, I am afraid that even King Quan's works would not be able to do it.

Of course, only awards, no word of mouth is enough, awards + word of mouth, and a little bit of large-scale gimmicks, King Power will have another box office hit.

He took another look at "Ip Man 3". The box office was more than 600 million, which was still far away from the 1 billion expected by the film studio.

At this time, two assistants came in, and Xiaotian brought good news.

“Parasite’s North American box office has exceeded 100 million!”

Wang Quan nodded, "It seems that the Oscar statuette effect is pretty good."

Before winning the statuette, "Parasite"'s growth rate was already very slow in the 80 million-plus range. After winning a few statuettes, it immediately attracted another wave of viewers and successfully exceeded 100 million.

Last year's "Who Is He" had the worst performance in North America for King Power, with just over 10 million dollars. This time "Parasite" has earned some face.

Currently, Wang Quan occupies four of the top five foreign language film box office rankings in North America, and the other one is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

While Wang Quan was talking to Xiaotian, Guo Xuefu started to help him change clothes. The award ceremony was about to start, and it was time for them to set off.

Wang Quan did not stay in the hotel. On the plane right now, Ayase Haruka and Miyoshi Ayaka were stacked next to each other.

It's not to save money, but mainly because he will fly back to the capital directly after attending the award ceremony, and tomorrow he will attend the farewell ceremony of Ge You's father, Mr. Ge.

The old gentleman passed away three days ago due to heart failure caused by cerebral infarction. He died at the age of 87, which can be regarded as a long life.

Wang Quan not only has a cooperative relationship with Ge You, but also has a friendship with Mr. Ge from the same hometown, so this time it is not just about sending wreaths.

Wang Quan got dressed, and the two Japanese women also rested. Guo Xuefu started to help them find clothes and make-up. She was very good at make-up.

The awards ceremony was held at the Venetian Theater in Omen. As soon as Wang Quan entered the venue, he saw the big baby Clara. She came early and she was the host tonight.

If she hadn't had the job of hosting, she would probably have gone to serve Wang Quan now.

The previous Asian Film Awards were pretty good, and filmmakers from all over the world were very considerate.

However, the momentum gradually slowed down. After all, it is said to be the Asian Film Awards, but in fact it is mainly about China, Japan and South Korea.

With the grievances and hatreds between these three countries, it is very difficult to unite, so usually one country is stronger in a certain year, and then the fans of the other two countries denounce the Asian Film Awards as unfair, garbage awards, etc. When your own movie becomes strong, you start touting it wildly.

Usually there is no way to satisfy everyone, and the quality cannot be improved.

However, this year because of Wang Quan’s participation, basically all the nominees have arrived. It is an honor for many Asian filmmakers to meet Wang Quan.

Wang Quan has already met Sissi, Jiang Peiyao and others. Sissi was nominated for Best Actress, and he can return to Beijing with her later.

As for Yang Mi, she didn't come because she wasn't nominated, but she was so angry that she shaved her head for the role. As a result, she was nominated a lot and didn't get a single award. Now, she's not even nominated, huh, The Asian Film Awards is black for life!

Wang Quan also agreed to be the guest of honor for the Best Actress. Why is it the Best Actress? Because he hopes to present the award to Sissi in person.

But he wasn't sure because the judges were filmmakers from Asia, Europe and the United States, and who knew what their tastes were.

As soon as the awards began, "Who Is He" won the Best Editing award.

Then China Wanwan's "Assassin Nie Yinniang", Kimchi's "Mourn", and India's "Empire" successively won awards.

However, Cheng Dao seems to be very dissatisfied with the award of Best Special Effects to an Indian film. "Ghost 3" is amazing.

Later, "Assassin Nie Yinniang" performed a hat trick, winning three awards for Best Original Music, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography.

It's the turn of the best newcomer. Jiang Peiyao put on beautiful makeup today, but the competition with her are "Walking in the Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms" Spring and Summer, "Drunk·Life, Dreams and Death" Li Hongqi, "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" Xin Zhilei, and "Eternal Life" "Love" Vijay Kaushal (India), finally won the spring and summer award.

During this awards season, Chunxia and Xin Zhilei basically split the Newcomer Award.

After witnessing Jiang Wen's daughter-in-law Zhou Yun winning the Best Supporting Actress ("Assassin") and Asano Tadanobu winning the Best Supporting Actor, Wang Quan came to power.

Zhao Tao, Shu Qi, Ayase Haruka, Jin Huixiu and Liu Yifei, the four beauties are waiting to see.

"Everyone should know who I hope will win the award, so will it be as I wish..." Wang Quan opened the envelope and smiled slightly, "Congratulations, Liu Yifei!"

(50 people were killed in Quan Guo’s book. Do you remember who it was?)
