You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 105 It was not the intention to crush "The Promise"

"First answer the brother's question, yes."

The word "meeting" brought applause from the audience, but more discussions.

The applause is that Wang Quan does not forget his roots and cares about the motherland, and Wang Quan's classmates are the most energetic in filming.

As for the comments, I guess they don't quite believe his rhetoric. You are so successful in Hollywood, earning tens of millions from a single movie. Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige probably won't earn as much as you in their entire lives. Are you going to return it?What a fool!
The box office data of "No. [-] Cloverfield Road" stimulated the red eyes of many people, especially those who wanted to go overseas but couldn't.

I knew that some people would not believe it, so Wang Quan was going to say a few more words, "I thought about announcing it in a few days, but now that I've talked about it, let's announce it here. I have registered a film company in China, named Wang Dao Films will engage in some film and television investment work in the future, and is willing to accept those mature scripts. If I can pass my test, I am even willing to direct myself, but my requirements for scripts are very strict. "

Hearing what he said, the applause began to overwhelm the discussion, and the company was opened. It seems that this is a real plan to return to China to make a movie, and it is not perfunctory.

"Brother, I want to ask, does your company recruit artists?" Li Dongxue, a boy from the acting class of grade 03, stood up and asked.

Others booed one after another, what's the matter, you want to go in, you want to go in, I still want to go in.

Wang Quan gave a negative answer, "Wang Dao Films only focuses on the production and publicity of films, and does not engage in celebrity brokerage business."

I would like to say a few more words here, "I think so. When I am in the star agency business, when I make a movie, I must first consider the people in my company. If things go on like this, every time I shoot a movie, it will be a different combination of those people, and the audience will see more. Definitely nothing new.

"If I cancel the brokerage business, then I can choose from all the actors outside. I think even if I want to use actors from Huayi or Rong Xinda, they won't let me use them."

The latter sentence is domineering, and initially reveals the strong appeal of an international leader, that is, who doesn't want to add an "international" in front of the name, adding an "international" will double their worth!

At this time, a girl stood up, "Hello, Brother Wang Quan, I am Bao Wenjing from the School of Continuing Education, I would like to ask when you plan to return to China to film, and you plan to turn over a movie in Hollywood like Director Wu Yusen did." Big somersault, no one dares to use him and come back?"

This question is a bit sharp, Wang Quan took a closer look at the female students in the audience, they haven't slept before, why are you targeting me like that?But she seemed to be targeting Wu Yusen more.

Han Sanping's face was also very unhappy at this time, what kind of talk, what kind of talk is this!It's as if director Wu Yusen is a lost dog, and I'm planning to find someone to make the blockbuster "Red Cliff"!

He is a bereaved dog, so what am I going to do? Pick up trash that other people don't want!

Wang Quan can also answer this question, "After returning to the United States this time, I will first make a literary film, and then there will be a series of commercial film plans, about five, with a total investment of more than [-] million dollars..."

Just this sentence shocked all the people present including Han Sanping, Xie Fei, and Zhang Huijun, and the audience was even more wowed.

40 million knives, isn't that nearly 20 billion RMB!How much was the total box office in the mainland last year, [-] billion RMB!

Han Sanping thought to himself, the upper limit of his planned investment in "Red Cliff" is 8000 million US dollars, which is already the only top-level existence in Chinese-language movies, and 8000 million is planned to be made into two parts, you are better, just [-] million dollars Knife beat five!
I really have to suppress the investment of the entire Chinese film by myself!Are young people so crazy now!

Although Wang Quan's words are slightly exaggerated, there is still a total of [-] million yuan. The investment amount in the "Twilight Saga" series will definitely increase. It is estimated that the budget of the last two single films will not be less than [-] million yuan.

Wang Quan continued, "I can only consider the next film plan if I complete all the work at hand and fulfill my responsibilities and obligations to Dragon Head Company, so I can't make any promises yet."

The applause from the audience resounded again, I don't know why they were excited, anyway, they were excited, the senior is so handsome!
After Bao sat down, another student named Yuan Shanshan stood up. Wang Quan knew her as Mimi's roommate.

"Senior, I would like to ask, what do you think of the North American box office of "The Promise" being crushed by "Ten Cloverfield Lane" at the same time?"

As soon as this topic came up, the audience became noisy again, while Wang Quan was stunned. He asked, "Is "The Promise" released in North America?"

"Pfft~" Jing Wei on the side couldn't hold back after all, she is a professional and won't laugh easily.

Yuan Shanshan affirmed, "Yes, and at the same time as "Ten Cloverfield Road", the cumulative box office is less than $70."

This news was also reported in the mainland, and no one in the United States cared about the situation of the movie, so much so that Wang Quan didn't even know that the movie was released in the United States!
This Liu Ye didn't say to share with him when his movie was released, is it embarrassing?

If the cumulative total is 70, then the first day may only be tens of thousands, and it will definitely not enter the top [-] on the list. When Wang Quan watches Box Office Mojo, it is impossible to specifically pull it down to find Wuji.

It is estimated that Director Chen will be scolding, it is also a Chinese epic blockbuster, why "Hero" can have tens of millions, and I only have hundreds of thousands!
Wang Quan calmed down, and answered the question, "It's not a crush, I think the release scale of "The Promise" and the distribution company are incomparable with Paramount..."

He took a look at the film and television library. It was released by Warner Independent Pictures (not Warner Bros.) and had more than 600 shows. Because the average per game was terrible, the scale was reduced until it ended in dismal.

Wang Quan continued, "Nowadays foreign interest in Chinese costume action blockbusters is gradually decreasing. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was the pinnacle, and "Hero" also got a good box office after that, but "House of Flying Daggers" It is not very high, and there are also influences from big-name stars. In North America, Li Lianjie has more appeal than Andy Lau + Jin Chengwu, and Zhang Ziyi is also more influential than Zhang Bozhi, so "The Promise" has such a box office. Understood, one is the decline of blockbuster Chinese costumes, and the other is that the celebrity appeal is not enough."

As for the third, the gods and gods can't understand it. Wang Quan still knows how to behave, so he can't say that.

Yuan Shanshan sat down, and stood up even more determinedly.

He Bin from the management department sat next to Bai Xue from the director department. The two had been together since freshman year, and He Bin was Wang Quan's high school classmate.

The guy said with a playful smile, "It is rumored that the North American copyright of "The Banquet" has been sold to Harvey's Weinstein Films, and it is also going to be released in North America, so Director Wang is not optimistic about the North American results of "The Banquet"?"

You kid, you deliberately dug a hole for me, right?

Wang Quan searched the situation of "The Banquet", and it was never shown in North America.

At this time, his girlfriend Bai Xue also stood up and spoke, "Director Wang just said that Zhang Ziyi still has some box office appeal, so it should be better than "The Promise"."

You two, what do you want me to say, are you strong or not.

Wang Quan organized the language, "I think the "Night Banquet" film studio should confirm whether the film can be released in North America, whether there are any clauses in the contract that must be released, and what is the scale. Companies like the United States will buy foreign films on a small scale. Test screenings to investigate word-of-mouth and potential, and if you feel that there is no potential, you will put it on the shelf and ignore it, or sell it directly through the DVD channel.”

After all, it will cost money to announce the release, and it may not be cheap.

"No way, isn't it a waste of money not to show it?" A boy expressed his opinion.

Wang Quan, "Usually the purchase of regional distribution rights for this kind of film is only a few dozen or 20 dollars, or even as low as tens of thousands of dollars. This small amount of money is nothing to these big companies."

"Ah, it's so low!" Many people feel incredible that our movies are so cheap.

Otherwise, how high do you think it can be? "Hero" sold the full copyright in North America, not the distribution rights, so the North American box office has nothing to do with the new picture.

Wang Quan said this to kindly remind Huayi that Harvey is not a kind person, he is a businessman, and he would not be so kind to help you spend a lot of effort on publishing.

Wang Quan was afraid that someone would ask him how to make Chinese-language films go global and enter overseas markets.

Fortunately, it was a little girl who stood up this time, "Director Wang, I am Zhang Jianing from the Acting Department of Chinese Opera. I would like to ask..."

The audience burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, the charm of Director Wang even convinced the female students of Chinese opera.

This girl is a new face to Wang Quan, probably a freshman in level 05. Her question is, "Director Wang, do you have a girlfriend now?"

Wang Quan said confidently, "Yes, my girlfriend is a movie, and we will never break up."

This answer is a bit cunning, but the little girl is very satisfied, even moved, and other students also appreciate his answer, this is what people who really love movies say!

That's why Mr. Xie blushed a little, how could this boy have the nerve to say it.

Wang Quan felt that it was enough to ask questions, so he winked at Jing Wei. This is the end of this session, and the end of today's activities.

The students left in an orderly manner, and under the leadership of the teacher, Wang Quan met with the leaders of China Film and the Guidance Association. From now on, Wang Quan can be regarded as an organized person.

And the meeting with Han Sanping was just the two of them, no one knew what they said, half an hour later, both of them went back to their respective homes satisfied.

Wang Quan went back to his mother's house today, and left early the next morning. Mei Yanqiu had already had a problem with her son going to Wang Qiankun's house every time he returned home.

And this night, the speech about Wang Quan's speech at Nortel has begun to spread rapidly. Not only did the students present spread it on the school BBS and various forums through text, but also there were media last night. They took pictures and videos.

So early the next morning, Chen Kaige saw the news headline "New director Wang Quan smashed "The Promise" at the box office", and his face became quite ugly, which made the six-year-old Arthur tremble.

Feng Xiaogang only found out when he arrived in Huayi, and he was furious, "Why is this kid just like his father? Is he lacking morality? Curse me for not being able to release my movie before it's released!"

"That's right, isn't it just an English film, and I really think of myself as a Hollywood director." Wang Zhonglei echoed.

Chen Guofu on the side asked, "Then how much box office is his English film in the Mainland?"

Wang Zhonglei, "In less than a week, it's already 1000 million."

Chen Guofu nodded, "That's still quite powerful, there is no obvious inferiority in water and soil, and you can have both ends at a small cost. This is not something everyone can do."

Feng Xiaogang doesn't like to hear these words, I'm just venting my temper, you just scold him with me and it's over, you praise him for fucking!It looks like you admire him a lot!
Chen Guofu didn't pay any attention to it, and today it wasn't to talk about kingship, he opened the folder, "Let's discuss the leading role of "Assembly Number" next, do you two have any suggestions?"

~
Wang Quan had already landed in Los Angeles when she woke up, and it was Gadot who drove to pick her up.

Wang Quan is not here, Mazda is her mount, Gadot is quite good at driving, better than Wang Quan, she plans to buy a car when she has more money.

Wang Quan said, "How about I lend you?"

Gadot asked instinctively, "How much interest?"

Poor child, what did her original family bring her!

Wang Quan is going to give Gadot some love and care, don't ask how much the interest is, and give you a few hundred million for nothing!
The next day, King Quan returned to Dragon Heads full of energy, and the day when "Juno" turned on was approaching.

Before launching, Wang Quan fine-tuned "Escape Room" according to the audience's opinions, mainly in terms of music.

Then I started sorting out everything that needed to be prepared for the start of "Juno". This time Ma Ling played an important role, not only as one of the screenwriters, but also as an executive producer. She had to follow the crew all the time.

If it wasn't for her old-fashioned appearance, Wang Quan would have wanted her to play a cameo role as a high school student.

However, the cast of "Juno" is already very luxurious, and Dorothy has shown her strong network energy this time.

Compared with the original version, only one actor has been retained, that is J.K. Simmons, the actor who played Juno's father. He has a very famous emoticon package. Oh, yes, he is the newspaper owner in "Spider-Man". .

Not surprisingly, no matter which version of Spider-Man needs this role in the future, he will be found.

When Simmons was young, he was on Broadway. He was a stage actor, and his acting skills are quite excellent. Wang Quan watched his "Burst Drummer" in the film and television library. Although he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, Wang Quan felt that nominating a male lead point.

At first, Dorothy felt that he was not famous enough and had a low reputation, and wanted to find Mel Gibson to play the role. Wang Quan was actually moved by it at the time. If the price was right, then of course it would be the best.

But he checked Mel Gibson in the film and television library, and then decisively rejected Dorothy's proposal, you can pull it down, I don't want to reshoot his part.

As for Juno's stepmother, she has a bigger background, Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster, the heroine of "The Silence of the Lambs".

Although she has not officially come out, her orientation is no secret in the circle. Wang Quan believes that they must have a secret organization, so it is not surprising that Dorothy can invite her to play as a friend.

There is also a friendly role as the adoptive mother of Juno's children. In the original version, this role was Cassie's sister-in-law and Big Ben's wife Jennifer Garner.

However, Dorothy found the heroine of "King Kong", the big beauty Naomi Watts, to play a friendly role, and the price was so low that it made people feel embarrassed.

Fools know how to choose.

And the first scene of "Juno" is the scene of Naomi Watts~
