You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 118 The Dragon King Joins Forces, Widow Sister Appears, Shining Water City (1, Guaranteed)
Cheng Long recalled, "Some heard it, as if I saw it when I was reading a newspaper, but I didn't understand it deeply."

Wang Quan also understood that at this time, the matter of the animal heads of the zodiac signs hadn't caused much trouble. He also saw this theme when he was browsing Cheng Long's future movies. How big is it.

Later, those foreign speculators dared to sell a beast head for more than 1 million yuan, because they knew that that period of history was a pain point for the Chinese people.

Wang Quandao, "The first time Chinese people had an idea of ​​the animal heads of the Chinese zodiac in Yuanmingyuan was in 2000. At the auctions of Christie's and Sotheby's in Hong Kong, bronze statues of ox heads, monkey heads and tiger heads appeared. The ones that were stolen from the Old Summer Palace were brought back to us for auction by foreigners, which aroused public resentment, and later the state-owned Poly Group bought the three animal heads for more than 3000 million Hong Kong dollars."

"An average of 1000 million, are these animal heads high in artistic content? Or are the materials scarce?"

"In fact, animal heads do not have high artistic value, and the materials are not precious, but they are a symbol of China's century-old history of humiliation. Foreigners use this to make use of their patriotic sentiments to hype up the price of animal heads, stimulate their self-esteem, and let the You have to buy it, you have to buy it at a premium, and that's just too much."

Cheng Long nodded. This is a kind of kidnapping. Kidnapping a country to pay for the humiliation of a hundred years ago. I robbed you and asked you to buy it back at a high price. Who can be angry!

Wang Quan continued, "In 03, Mr. He from Omen donated 600 million to the China Special Fund for Rescuing Lost Overseas Cultural Relics and bought the pig head bronze statue from a collector in the United States. This is the fourth one that has appeared so far. Beast head."

Cheng Long patted his thigh, "Oh, I remembered, I saw this news about Mr. He back then! Mr. He is really interesting!"

Moreover, Wang Quan also knew in the movie comment section that Mr. He later bought back the horse head at a price of nearly 7000 million Hong Kong dollars, and the price had already been raised at that time.

After Cheng Long's "Zodiac" was released, the French PPR Group bought and donated the heads of rats and rabbits the next year. Cheng Long also put in a lot of effort.

So Wang Quan proposed this script idea to him. Cheng Long, who was not that interested in Chinese themes, immediately said, "Shoot, this story must be shot, I think it is very meaningful."

Wang Quan smiled, "I haven't written the script yet, this big brother may have to wait."

Cheng Long said, "Then hurry up and write, uh, but don't worry too much. I still have a few projects to work on. A director wants to ask me to cooperate with Li Lianjie in a movie. In addition, director Xiaobao and I have already arranged a movie together." There is a ten-year agreement, and if you want to make a more literary film, it's time to make it."

The director Xiaobao he mentioned is director Er Dongsheng. It seems that Cheng Long is not willing to just be a star. He has won the Golden Horse Best Actor and the Golden Rooster Best Actor in the Mainland, but it has always been his regret not to have the Xiangjiang Golden Statue Best Actor .

Seeing that Wang Quan seemed to have something else to say, the eldest brother Long waved his hand, "Just say what you want. Is it a matter of the cost of the script?"

Wang Quan hurriedly waved his hands, "Oh no, no, you just have to look at that big brother. I also want to write this subject because I am dissatisfied with foreign cultural relic speculators. That's it. I hope that the heroine will be decided by me."

For a screenwriter, it is a little too much to make such a request. If the film is invested by Emperor, they must use their own people, such as twins. If there are other financial backers, they must have their own considerations.

But Cheng Long understood after a little thought, "You boy, I understand!"

Ah, do you understand now?
Cheng Long thought of Wang Quan's romantic reputation in Hollywood, and thought of his friendship with Zhang Jingchu, and even brought a little girl to visit the class. He didn't know how many romantic debts he had around him.

Seeing him, Cheng Long thought of his former self, and couldn't help feeling a sense of sympathy.

With regard to the project "Zodiac", the two reached a preliminary consensus. Now that the royal power is hot, Cheng Long immediately asked his assistant to disclose the news. Let's not talk about the subject matter, and foreigners in the province are using Dongfeng to hype cultural relics .

"By the way, do you still have a movie to promote?" Cheng Long asked proactively.

Wang Quan, "Well, there is another literary film that will premiere tomorrow."

Cheng Long asked the assistant, "When is our flight back to Xiangjiang?"

"Brother, it's tonight."

Cheng Long, "Change it, and leave after watching the movie tomorrow."

Assistant, "Ah, this..."

"Change it."

"Ok."

Wang Quan got up and held Cheng Long's hand, "Thank you, brother."

"Oh, what a joke."

Hey, this martial arts practitioner has great strength.

So the next day, a piece of news appeared in the domestic media.

"Cheng Long and director Wang Quan confirmed the cooperation project in Venice!The Light of the Chinese teamed up!There are pictures and truth! "

There is indeed a picture, and the assistant took a group photo of the two shaking hands.

Previously, Wang Quan brought his sister to the premiere of "Baby Project". The mainland media focused on Cheng Long. Those who mentioned Wang Quan also cared about the relationship between the beautiful foreign girls around him and him. .

Now it's a group photo of the two Dragon Kings, and it's obviously indoors. Is this really a collaboration?Did Director Wang take over so quickly?
Even if Wang Quan had nominated an original screenwriter for the Oscar before, and the director's first work was a global explosion of [-] million dollars, but no one regarded him as a director who could sit on an equal footing with Cheng Long. After all, there are too few works, and there may be chance. Not for long.

Now that the news of the cooperation between the two came out, the status of King Quan was imperceptibly raised, giving people a feeling that even Cheng Long would rush to cooperate with him, this young man is going against the sky!
Nortel girls' dormitory.

Yuan Shanshan was the first to see this news, and Yang Mi also knew about it.

She cut her fingernails and said casually, "I expected it a long time ago. If Cheng Long didn't want to cooperate with Brother Quan, could he take the initiative to invite him to visit the class at that time? He has been eyeing Brother Quan for a long time."

Zhang Xiaofei, "Senior brother Wang Quan is too good, by the way, is his third film nominated for Venice?"

Yang Mi, "No, the film was shot too late and missed Venice, but it was shortlisted for the Tokyo International Film Festival. The chairman of the East Film Festival went to Los Angeles to meet Brother Quan. There should be news in a few days." gone."

Zhang Xuan said with emotion, "It's amazing, you can shoot literary and commercial films, and you're an all-round director!"

After Yang Mi cut her fingernails, she immediately walked out of the dormitory and called Wang Quan. Damn, I didn't know such a big deal with Cheng Long!
At about the same time, Liu Xiaoli also found out about this incident and told Concubine Liu Yi immediately.

"Ask Xiao Wang, is this true?"

Concubine Liu Yi was reading the script, her feet were bare, and there was a licking dog under her feet, "So what if it's real, so what if it's fake."

"Really, just ask if there is any suitable role for you!" Liu Xiaoli said eagerly, although the last time "Rush Hour 3" did not get on the express train of Cheng Long as expected, it was because they were okay, this time it was different, Xiao Wang put it here!
Concubine Liu Yi resolutely refuses to do it, so what will happen to her in Wang Quan's heart, it's too low for taking the initiative to ask for a role.

"You, you, you, if you don't hit me, I will hit you!" Liu Xiaoli also has Wang Quan's contact information.

She went to call, but Concubine Liu Yi didn't stop her, she quietly pricked up her ears, but the line turned out to be busy.

~
Wang Quan giggled and dealt with Yang Mi, "There is such a thing, but I haven't written the script yet, and I'm thinking about the heroine."

Yang Mi chuckled, "Then when you conceived of the heroine, did my voice and smile flash through your mind?"

Wang Quan smiled, "If you don't know how to use words, don't use them."

Yang Mi, "Anyway, that's what it means. I don't dare to count on the heroine. Is there any role that has more than a cameo role?"

"It's hard to say now, you don't have any kung fu~"

"Who says I don't have kung fu? I learned grappling with my dad. Generally, when I was under ten years old, I said I would win."

Wang Quan, "That's all you can do, okay, I'll think about it when I write the script."

After hanging up on Yang Mi's call, a call came from Liu Xiaoli.

"Hello, aunt~"

"Xiao Wang," Liu Xiaoli said with a smile in her voice, "Auntie heard that you are planning to collaborate with Cheng Long on a new movie. Is it a Chinese movie?"

Wang Quan, "Well, although the main actors are all Chinese, they plan to travel to many countries around the world during filming, and will use international teams."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli's heart beat a little faster, it's still Xiao Wang who is more capable!
"Xiao Wang, have you decided on the heroine for the movie?"

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Auntie, we don't even have a script. It's just that my brother and I have decided on a story outline and idea. It's too early to talk about the heroine."

"That's even better. When you write the script, you write the heroine as Sissy, and then..."

Concubine Liu Yi finally couldn't listen anymore, Mom, how dare you say it!

She directly grabbed her mother's cell phone, "Student, don't listen to my mother, I was really sorry just now, don't let her affect your creation."

"It's okay, Auntie is looking for a girl to become a phoenix, but don't worry, you can speak English well, and you are American, there will definitely be no shortage of international big productions in the future, as long as you improve your acting skills..."

"King! Rich! Noble!" Concubine Liu Yi also learned this trick from Yang Mi, but the tone was too soft, and the meaning of being coquettish was more obvious.

Wang Quan laughed, "I won't mention it, I won't mention it anymore, "Juno" is about to premiere here, so let's not talk for now, I look forward to your performance in "Stewardess"."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Quan handed over the phone to Ma Ling, and began to welcome the friends and fans who came to the premiere today as the host.

Cheng Long came, and to Wang Quan's surprise, Jiang Wen also came with him.

Wang Quan and Jiang Wen met each other, they smiled at each other, and shook hands. Jiang Wen said to Cheng Long, "He even showed me the way."

Cheng Long took it for granted as "pointing out the maze", the minds of young people are so vivid, even Jiang Wen can give some pointers, the future can be expected.

Jiang Wen came this time to promote his semi-finished product "When the Sun Also Rises", and he just arrived today, because the heroine gave birth, so the shooting will stop for a while.

Tsk tsk, the heroine was pregnant during the filming, but now she has given birth and the filming has not finished yet. Yinghuang has nothing to do with such a wayward director.

Oh, by the way, one of the leading actors in this film is Cheng Long's Dragon Prince, so Long and Wen are on good terms now, and when the old dragon called out, Jiang Wen came.

It just so happens that Jiang Wen is also very curious about King Quan. I have seen his "No. [-] Cloverfield Road" before, and the evaluation is not bad, but not as good as "Sunny Day", so I win the first novel.

But he was 30 years old when he was filming "Sunny Day", and Wang Quan was only 21 years old, so young people should be given some room to grow up. He is looking forward to Wang Quan making a movie as awesome as "Sunshine" before he is 30 years old.

Huaxia's friends are mainly the two of them. The three film crews and related personnel shortlisted for the main competition unit did not come, but these two guys are big enough.

The lineup of foreign filmmakers is much more luxurious. First of all, Kon Min must be here. He regards Wang Quan as his confidant in life and a foreign brother.

In addition, Ben Affleck, who was shortlisted in the main competition unit "Hollywood Manor", also came. He missed the premiere of "Escape Room" starring his younger brother because of time problems. He felt very sorry for his younger brother, so Dorothy As soon as Si invited him, he came to make up for it. In addition, he also attracted another leading actor from the same crew, the youngest Oscar winner Adrien Brody.

Scarlett Johansson and Oscar winner Hilary Swank, the two leading actresses of "Black Dahlia", also joined hands.

The film will be the main competitor of "Escape Room" in North America.

But that's a matter for the film crew. The two leading actors and Dorothy know each other, so it's natural to give this face. Seeing the 22-year-old Scarlett, Wang Quan sighed, it's good to be young, and I have watched several movies in which she is in her 30s. , now can be said to be the pinnacle of her appearance.

In addition, Alfonso Cuarón, the director of "Children of Men", was also invited by Dorothy. Wang Quan just wanted to say, Tao Zi, how can I live without you!

In such a short time, the main creators of the four crews of the main competition unit all came, which excited the Chinese media at the scene, and there was too much topic in it.

What do you mean, ah, what do you mean!
The premiere of our Huaxia director's work was premiered, and his foreign counterparts actively supported it. Jiazhangke Du Qifeng, how many of you are in Venice, but you don't even have a sign, are you not united!

In the end, even the Paramount representative responsible for the overseas distribution of "Escape Room" came to support "Juno".
Dorothy whispered a few words next to King Quan, and it turned out that Paramount and Tom Cruise had officially broken up.

The main income of "Mission: Impossible 3" has basically fallen into place. In the final calculation, although Paramount did not lose money, it did not make much money, but Ah Tang made a lot of money because of the special nature of the contract. Lei Shidong even slapped the table.

On the other hand, "Ten Cloverfield Lane", let's not talk about the profitability of "Disc 3" in seconds. Finally, after calculation, as of September, "Ten Cloverfield Lane" turned out to be Paramount's most profitable project this year. !
It is conceivable that Wang Quan's weight in the eyes of Paramount's management has once again increased by a level, and he is now the director that Paramount is eager to win over.

The time has come, and the film began to be screened. Although Wang Quan said in advance that the later stage of the film has not been fully produced, today's version can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, but it still satisfied most of the audience present. After the screening, the audience applauded for a long time interest.

Especially in the corner where no one is paying attention, a white-haired and bald old man said that he likes this story very much~
