You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 204 "Twilight" is finished, Feihong visits (2, both order 5400)

When filming "Rush Hour 3" last year, King Quan was already great. However, just over a year later, the gap between the two has widened further. "Twilight" made him a world-class director. How could Zhang Jingchu not be greedy.

Although generally this kind of vulgar commercial film is popular with male and female protagonists, who can name the director of Harry Potter, but Wang Quan, with his good looks and youth, is also an Olympic Award winner, and the topic is second only to The two protagonists have attracted more attention than the little werewolf in the first film.

It is precisely because Wang Quan is a popular fried chicken director in Hollywood today, so Cheng Long personally went to the "Twilight" crew to visit the set and invited Wang Quan to attend.

Just to stop his refusal and let this little brother help him to support the scene.

Although Li Lianjie, who had just worked with him, was also invited by him, it is obviously more face-saving to invite the royal power now.

At this time, Wang Quan's other screenwriting work "Lucky Chuck" has successfully won a box office of 5000 million dollars in North America. Judging from the budget of that film, it is considered a profit.

A little more than the original time and space, I don't know if it is affected by Wang Quan's reputation, or the changes brought about by the change of schedule. In short, Wang Quan's reputation of never losing money has been earned, and he is invited to please.

After entering the venue, Cheng Long embraced Wang Quan affectionately, and only shook hands with his husky-like female companion.

Damn, it's older than Li Zhi, Lao Long glanced at Lao Li who was older than himself, tsk tsk, he can't bear this kind of thing, he has to be a young man like Xiao Wang.

Then he took Wang Quan's hand and whispered, besides thanking him for his support, he also talked about his next work arrangement.

"After the promotion is over, I will go to Neon to shoot "Shinjuku Incident". I will save the next schedule for "Zodiac". This time I plan to direct it myself."

Wang Quan said that there is no problem, he has basically finished the script, and borrowed some high-risk actions from Tom cruise's follow-up Mission: Impossible, so he has to leave some highlight clips while he can still move.

As for the "Shinjuku Incident", it has to be filmed next year. I will perfect it by then, and I have enough time.

The two chatted for a while, and Cheng Long went out to greet the guests who came to cheer him up. This time, the villain Zunlong from "Rush Hour 2" came in.

What surprised Wang Quan was the leading actor's speech before the movie started. Another protagonist, Chris Tucker, fucked the subprime mortgage crisis and the US government many times. Brother, how much did you lose? I hate it so much.

However, his diss received full applause from the audience. Obviously, these audiences felt the same way, and Wang Quan could more and more feel the huge influence brought about by the subprime mortgage crisis.

After the premiere, Wang Quan was invited by Zhang Jingchu to have a meal in private. She asked Wang Quan to choose, and Wang Quan chose the barbecue, which was lively.

Wang Quan also called Azu, who was also at the premiere, and he and she are also old acquaintances.

Didn't say anything, the main thing is to increase some of the impression in Wang Quan's heart, thinking about the opportunity to cooperate, Zhang Jingchu really wanted to make a name for herself in Hollywood, but it was really difficult, she tried, not everyone has it Zhang Ziyi is so lucky.

In addition, while Azu was going to the bathroom, she also hinted that she wanted to see what Wang Quan's family looked like.

Wang Quan said honestly, "Girlfriends are not allowed to bring girls home."

Zhang Jingchu immediately felt ashamed: He is so upright!
Wang Quan: Do the math, Gadot's role in 007 is probably about to wrap up, maybe one day he will suddenly go home.

After this incident was over, Wang Quan returned to the crew that night, ready to continue working.

At this time, the part of "New Moon" has basically been completed, and part of "Eclipse" has also been filmed. Whether it is the vampire Edward or the little werewolf Jacob, they are very satisfied with the script of the lunar eclipse.

Edward is satisfied because there is no bloody part that makes him feel uncomfortable. Now it looks much more pleasing to the eye, but the story and twists and turns have greatly increased.

And the little werewolf is also very happy, his character is now a super-charismatic character, he is affectionate and restrained, like a big wronged dog, the battle scenes are full of fire, many special effects are used on him, this After the two films, my popularity will definitely rise!
Wang Quan was filming, and Xu Zheng boarded the flight to Venice alone with his bald head. Xiao Taohong wanted to follow, but he refused. In such a colorful world, bringing a woman would be a disappointment.

When he got there, he also met Director Zhang Yimou. He is the chairman of the jury of this year's main competition unit. It is not convenient for him to meet the filmmakers in the main competition unit, but the short film unit is not under his control, so it doesn't matter.

Although Zhang Yimou can’t get in touch with those people, Xu Zheng can. Lao Mouzi introduced to him the situation of the Chinese-language filmmakers shortlisted this year, and asked him to meet everyone when he has time. communicate."

Xu Zheng kept it in mind, and later found out Zhang Ting's contact information. What a good friend I was before, and I haven't contacted for a long time.

Xu Zheng was very touched. He didn't expect Director Zhang to be so approachable. He said a lot of heartfelt words and told anecdotes about him as an actor. Xu Zheng made up his mind that if he became a director in the future, he would definitely ask him to act.

There are not too few Chinese-language films shortlisted for the main competition this year, with a total of four.

One is "Lust, Caution" co-produced by China and the United States, which is the work of Oscar-winning director Li Yin.

One is "The Sun Also Rises" co-produced by Xiangjiang in the Mainland, a work by Jiang Wen, a genius in Ghost Talent.

One is Du Qifeng's new work "Detective" by Pure Xiangjiang.

There is also "Help Me Eros" directed by Li Kangsheng, the queen male lead of the famous director Cai Mingliang of Wanwan.

Although I don't know whether Jiang Wen slept with his wife when he was filming "Sunny Day", Xu Zheng looked at the three crews and found that he was the most familiar with Jiang Wen, so he first visited Jiang Wen, and was warmly welcomed Lao Jiang dragged her to the premiere and watched the magnificent "The Sun Also Rises".

He felt that he understood it, but also felt that he didn't understand it. He felt that he had to watch it again, but if someone asked him, he would definitely say: This movie is beyond words.

If this is the case for myself, can those foreigners who don't understand the history of China during that period understand it?Xu Zheng is a little worried about this movie. The investment in this movie will not be small. If it cannot be sold overseas, it will be a real loss!

Afterwards, Xu Zheng visited Li Kangsheng again and was invited to watch his "Help Me Eros" together.

He couldn't help but feel that Wan Wan's creative freedom is indeed high, and this kind of scale should not be considered in the mainland, even if it is shot, it can only be released abroad.

Just finished talking about "Help Me Eros" is big, but after watching "Lust, Caution", he was stunned and sweated from watching it. I heard that this movie has passed the review in the Mainland, and it will be released in November , even if there are deletions, this scale is appalling enough.

He understands Wang Quan a little bit now. Director Wang has been staying abroad for filming, maybe not just to make money, maybe the creative freedom like Li Yong is what he wants most.

If you want to replace it with a mainland director, even Lao Mouzi won't be able to pass it!

On September [-]th, Wang Quan was filming "Twilight" in Vancouver, and then received a call from Xu Zheng.

"Director, hit!"

"What award?"

"That's the only award, the Golden Lion Award for Best Short Film!" Xu Zheng was ecstatic, because he was the one who accepted the award at that time, and he showed his face in front of the whole world.

Sitting in the audience are Zhang Yimou, Catherine Brea, Jane Campion, Gonzales and other world famous directors, as well as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Owen International stars such as Wilson, Keira Knightley, James McAvoy.

This made Xu Zheng a little nervous, so he kept his speech short as much as possible and did not use English rashly. He stepped down with the Golden Lion trophy in less than a minute.

Then Wang Quan asked about other awards, which were exactly the same as what he had imagined, and there was no deviation.

On the domestic entertainment news that day, the photos of Li Press and Wang Quan made the headlines, which made Wang Quan a little embarrassed. Although they both won the Golden Lion Award, the gold content of a feature film and a short film is still quite different.

But the domestic media didn't care, Wang Daoxi mentioned the Golden Lion's reports endlessly, and then netizens shouted when they will see "Black Hole"!

Several domestic video sites have come to discuss cooperation, this time no piracy, we will buy the copyright.

King Quan didn't take it seriously, and let Chu Ling handle it himself. It doesn't matter if it's money or not, the important thing is that fans can see it.

In addition, Dorothy was also very happy when she found out about this incident, and planned to send this short film to compete for the Oscar for Best Short Film.

Wang Quan asked, "Is it in line with the rules? This is a Chinese short film."

Dorothy asked, "Do you have any lines? It's a Chinese short film."

Wang Quan was taken aback for a moment, it really is!
After hanging up on Dorothy's phone, Wang Quan received a call from Yu Feihong.

Wang Quan heard a sense of relief from her tone.

"So is the movie finished?"

Yu Feihong said excitedly, "Well, and it's not overspend!"

Just after filming the last scene of "Love Has an Afterlife", Yu Feihong couldn't help reporting the good news to Wang Quan.

Wang Quan was sincerely happy for her, and the movie was made with only 1000 million yuan, so how much less loss!
In the end, I shouldn't have to sell the house~
Wang Quan, "Then is it going to be a later stage?"

Yu Feihong, "Not yet, I have to go to Spain."

"Why, go to a bullfight?"

Yu Feihong snickered, "No one is right, the San Sebastian International Film Festival is about to open, and "Millennium Prayer" has been shortlisted for the main competition. Director Wang, I mean Director Wang Ying persuaded him to come over, he It is good for a new director like me to participate in this kind of international film festivals more, maybe "Love Is After Life" will also have the opportunity to go overseas and sell some overseas copyrights."

Wang Quan chuckled, "Coincidentally, my company's "Li Mi's Conjecture" has also been shortlisted for Saint Cyprus, and it will be a competitor by then."

There are more than a dozen international A-category film festivals, and Cannes is the most respected. Cannes, Venice, and Berlin are known as the three major European film festivals, and their status far exceeds other A-category film festivals.

However, there are high and low in category A, and there are many parallel imports. Among them, the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland and the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain are the world-class film festivals second only to the three major film festivals in Europe. Kano is slightly stronger.

Originally, "Li Mi's Conjecture" could not be shortlisted for the main competition unit, but because of Wang Quan's words, this has the opportunity to be shortlisted for the main competition unit, and it also enriched Teacher Cao's resume.

At that time, "The Twilight Saga" hadn't been released yet, and Wang Quan was still a favorite in Europe, so he took the opportunity to recommend Li Mi to the film selector of Sheng Sai. The other party liked this story. Although Cao Baoping was unknown, But when he heard that he was Director Wang Quan's first teacher in script creation, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

It was originally planned to put Li Mi in the new director unit, but for Wang Quan's sake, he was directly added to the main competition unit.

International film festivals are like this, if the filming is good, put it aside first, you must have connections.

Otherwise, with Li Kangsheng's qualifications and the quality of his works, if it wasn't because he was Cai Mingliang's only leading actor, and Cai Mingliang was a frequent guest of the top three in Europe, how could he be allowed to enter the main competition of Wisney.

Yu Feihong was not worried after hearing this, but was very happy, "That's great, Mr. Cao is an old acquaintance, and I also like Zhouxun."

Forgot, I guess they are still ex-colleagues.

Wang Quan smiled, "Then I wish you the best actress."

Wang Quan continued to film, because the crew members performed like chicken blood. The two films that were supposed to be completed in October, Wang Quan felt that they could finish before the end of September.

Of course, there will be more overtime pay, but it is worth the money. Wang Quan also hopes to free up his hands earlier and focus more on the new movie. He is preparing for the post-production work and let the assistant director Catherine participate more to reduce his workload.

Finally, on September 9th, the two-part "Twilight", which took three months to film, was announced to be completed!
This speed is very, very fast for a film of this scale!

At the same time, Wang Quan was about to pack his things and return to Los Angeles, when Wang Quan received a call from Yu Feihong, "A good news or a better news, which one do you want to hear."

"Listen to the good news first~"

"Our movie "Millennium Prayer" won the San Seguin Shell! And Mr. Au Henry, who played my father, won the best actor!"

No Chinese-language filmmaker has ever won this award. Of course, "Millennium Prayer" is an English-language film, which cannot be considered a Chinese-language film. It can only be said to tell Chinese stories.

"What about the better news?" Wang Quan asked.

"The even better news is that your company's movie "Li Mi's Conjecture" won the Best Actress Award, and Zhou Xun won the award!"

This is indeed good news. Before Chinese filmmakers, only Tranquility won the best actress award, and then the talented Xu Jinglei won the best director award ("Letter from a Strange Woman"), Zhang Yang and Chen Kaige also won For the best director, Mr. Liu Peiqi won the best actor.

Now that Zhou Xun has won the best actress, although it is not as rich as the top three, it will still be helpful in publicity when it is released.

Then Wang Quan thought of Yu Feihong, "Then you didn't take anything~"

The actors and works of the same group all won awards, and the actresses in the same crew also won awards. Wang Quan suddenly felt that his sister Feihong was a little pitiful.

"Maybe I really don't have much talent in acting, so I have to transform." Yu Feihong laughed at himself.

Wang Quan really wanted to hug her, "Since we're all abroad, why don't you come to Maple Leaf Country, I'm filming in Vancouver~"
