You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 639 ① AI Face Changing ② Ice and Fairy ③ Table Tennis ④ Big Sweetie
Zhao Yazhi is 64 years old this year. Her appearance is definitely not as good as when she filmed "White Snake", but as a female star, she is indeed much younger than her peers.

If she dresses up a little, she will look almost the same as she did back then if you don't look closely. But if you look closely, she won't look the same anymore, after all, she is already a grandmother.

In order to meet Wang Quan today, she dressed up carefully, sent her husband and son away, and put herself in the best possible condition to prepare for the audition.

She already knew the purpose of Wang Quan's visit, which was to invite her to make a guest appearance in his new play.

This is not a problem, as she occasionally makes guest appearances in some works now and then, but since Wang Quan personally came to invite her, she should naturally take it seriously.

In fact, Wang Quan did not just invite Zhao Yazhi. He had already met his beautiful neighbor Li Jiaxin yesterday.

She readily agreed.

In addition, Wang Quan also made appointments with Hong Kong beauties such as Guan Zhilin and Qiu Shuzhen today.

Some, like Zhou Huimin, were in Maple Leaf Country, so Wang Quan called them personally. Zhou Haimei was in Beijing, so Wang Quan could contact her after he returned.

There is only one purpose, to invite the most beautiful faces from the golden age of Hong Kong films to appear in his own films.

I can only meet some of them today, and I will meet some of them next month during the Academy Awards, and try to catch them all in one go.

When Zhao Yazhi learned what role Wang Quan wanted her to play, she was surprised. "I am already this old. It may not be appropriate for me to play a fairy. There is no fairy that old."

As she spoke, she showed a shy expression.

Wang Quan thought that if he had been born twenty years earlier, he would have been an animal twenty years earlier.

Wang Quan took out his cell phone and said, "Sister Zhi, can I take a video for you?"

"Ah, is it an audition video? Are there any lines?"

Wang Quan thought for a moment and said, "Just act out a scene from The Legend of the White Snake. Feel free to express yourself."

As he spoke, Wang Quan started recording the video with his mobile phone. Zhao Yazhi recalled the moment and began to shout "Sir..." to Wang Quan.

After filming for about a minute, Wang Quan stopped and operated his phone. Zhao Yazhi still felt unsatisfied, "Ah, is this the end?"

Wang Quan: "Sister Zhi, please wait a moment. I'll be ready soon."

When he heard the phone "ding", Wang Quan showed the video he had just taken to Zhao Yazhi: "Sister Zhi, what do you think of my video?"

"You are a great director, of course any way you shoot it is fine..." Zhao Yazhi complimented Wang Quan, and suddenly, her voice stopped.

"This, I..." She was stunned for a moment, touching her face in confusion, "Why am I so young! I seem to be only in my thirties."

She knows that current mobile phones have beauty functions, and that the popular TikTok in mainland China also has beauty filters, which can make an ugly girl look like a fairy.

But Wang Quan’s phone doesn’t make him take prettier pictures, nor does it blur the wrinkles on his face until they are invisible. Instead, it directly makes him return to his youthful appearance.

Wang Quan smiled and said, "This is done through a software. This is just the limit of what a mobile phone can do. If it is operated by a computer, the functions will be more powerful and more sophisticated. I said that I want Sister Zhi to return to the big screen in the most beautiful state."

AI face-changing technology was also used here. Before Wang Quan came, he entered the video files of Zhao Yazhi when she was young into the software for data analysis. It can be understood as covering her current face with her face when she was young.

Zhao Yazhi watched the video happily, then swiped his finger and saw another video.

Wang Quan quickly snatched it away, "Sister Zhi, how about it, now you don't have any doubts, right?"

Zhao Yazhi: I am even more suspicious now. She only saw the cover of the video just now. It seemed like two women were fighting for something head to head, but I didn’t know what they were fighting for.

Big Wave Bay Villa.

Fat Bing was sleeping when he suddenly felt numb. Wait, didn’t Wang Quan leave? Did another man enter the room?
Oh, no, it’s Son Ye-jin!
When Pang Bing looked down, he happened to see Son Ye-jin looking up.

She blinked her watery, affectionate eyes and said, "Ouni, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

Fan Bingbing had heard that Son Ye-jin's sexual orientation was unclear, and it seemed the rumors were true.

They did have some fun interactions last night, but wasn’t Wang Quan there? You still came after he left, you just want my body!

However, Son Ye-jin's appearance and figure are both top-notch, and she deserves the name of "Sun Fairy". Fan Bingbing found that he was not disgusted. Could it be that I also have two plugs?
When Wang Quan left Zhao Yazhi to meet Guan Zhilin, the Ice Man and the Immortal Man were having a friendly exchange at home. The atmosphere was very subtle. The Fat Ice Man was tall and strong, but he was being beaten by the Immortal Man.

Fat Bing: Wang Quan must not know what happened today. It's too shameful! It damages the dignity of our great country!

Because he had to film a movie the next day, Wang Quan went back that day and brought Pang Bing back to Beijing. She had already completed the filming of Ready Player One and was now concentrating on picking scripts for Bing Cheng to be a capitalist.

She took a fancy to a script called "Eastern Palace" and planned to let Peng Xiaoran from her own company shoot it.

In addition, she also has to supervise Fan Chengcheng to lose weight and learn singing and dancing.

If this year's "Creation 101" is successful, Xigua Video will soon develop a male version of the idol variety show.

That boy has recently become interested in the entertainment industry, and as his sister I have to help him.

"Bingbing, why are you so listless? Didn't I give you half a day to catch up on your sleep?" Wang Quan held Xuefu and tossed her up and down, but Fat Bing was completely unmoved and didn't even make a few jokes. She was not like this usually. Among the women he had met, she could at least rank in the top ten in terms of fighting power.

Pang Bing just said that there were too many things to do in his company and he was too busy.

Son Ye-jin≈Lee Wan-hee.

Wang Quan nodded. Although Pang Bing's strong woman attribute is more of a character setting, she is of course envious when she sees Yang Mi has tens of billions of dollars just based on the market value of Mi Shi. Even though Wang Quan has made greater contributions to this company, it is also a fact that Bing Cheng is far inferior to Mi Shi, and even inferior to He Song.

The reason why Hesong did better than Bingcheng is largely because Li Bingbing has a sister, Li Xing, who is quite capable, and Fat Bingbing, Yang Tianzhen, who was supposed to stand on her side, is now Yang Mi's right-hand man.

Finally, Pang Bingbing chose to work with the famous screenwriter Yu Zheng, with whom she had worked before, in order to increase the competitiveness of Bingcheng. They had worked together on "Rouge Snow".

When Wang Quan and Pang Bing landed in Beijing, Lily Collins also arrived in Beijing. She was there to promote her new film "Beauty and the Beast".

She has already played Sleeping Beauty in a hit movie, and this time she was spotted by Disney again, snatching the role of the Disney princess from the favorite candidate Emma Watson.

The movie premiered in the UK last month and did very well at the box office, with an estimated take of over $9000 million. It is now being released worldwide on a large scale, with an amazing performance in North America. China and the United States are both large markets that Disney attaches great importance to, so Lily was sent here because of her royal power and she is very popular in China.

This year, Disney does not have the Avengers series, nor the extremely popular Iron Man series. Thor is ultimately a second-tier character. "Beauty and the Beast" is their number one trump card this year, and it is being used to compete with the sequel to "Solaris: A Star Wars Story," which is about to rise.

If nothing unexpected happens, the 2017 global annual champion should be in these two movies. Having too many friends (guns) is sometimes a problem. Wang Quan just sent Lily away and immediately welcomed the sister of Olsen, Elizabeth Olsen.

The work she brought was Legendary Pictures' new monster series "Kong: Skull Island".

She co-stars with Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, and there is also a sweet girl in the cast.

For Da Tiantian, this is a work from the last era, and she may not be able to receive resources of this level in the future. However, she still works very hard to help promote the film, hoping that the film will have a good box office in China.

Although "Beauty and the Beast" has higher box office abroad, domestic audiences still prefer this kind of big monster. The popularity of the handsome guy on Skull Island is much stronger than that of any Disney princess, and it earned 1.5 million yuan at the box office on the first day.

Da Tiantian specially called her good friend Liu Yifei to express her gratitude, thanking her for helping her promote the movie, and even more thanking her for helping her find Wang Quan to promote the movie.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei glanced at Wang Quan and asked, "Did you promote King Kong?"

Wang Quan nodded and said, "Elizabeth Olsen asked me to help promote it."

She contributed several new poses to this end.

Liu Yifei laughed, "Da Tiantian thought you were helping her."

Wang Quan: "Let her think so. When I ask her to guest star, she will probably say no, right?"

Yang Mi came out of the bathroom wiping her hair. She snorted at Wang Quan, "How annoying. You put it on your own hair. Do you know how hard it is to wash it out? What's the difference between this and pouring paste on your hair?"

Concubine Liu Yi asked Wang Quan: "Does this movie need so many beautiful actresses to make cameo appearances later? It seems that the Kingdom of Women doesn't need so many."

Wang Quan explained: "You don't understand the content of the third part."

Liu Yifei asked: "Have you gathered all the actors now? How about I help you get Chang Chang, Wan Qian and the others to guest star?"

"Okay, as long as they don't mind having only one shot."

Yang Mi asked: "How short is this shot of yours? One second?"

Wang Quan: "Because there are too many actors, there may not be even a single second, and not even a full-face shot, but I will give the sisters who guest-starred more shots in the final easter egg."

On the second day of the release of Kong: Skull Island, Chen Sicheng finally got what he wanted. The cumulative box office of Detective Chinatown 2 surpassed that of The Legend of Chusen 1, becoming the box office champion in the history of mainland movies. The media praised Baoqiang. Although he had experienced a very unhappy marriage, he thrived tenaciously in adversity and finally stood at the top of film history! Looking forward to his directorial debut Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons !
Chen Sicheng: Wait, I’m the director of this movie!

Although everyone on the Internet was praising Baoqiang, when Xu Ke released the celebratory poster he drew himself, he @ himself.

Although Chen Sicheng humbly responded to the encouragement from his predecessors on Weibo, saying that he was looking forward to Detective Chinatown 3 and even more so to Zhu Xian 2, and hoped that Chinese-language films would flourish, he was privately so excited that he was dizzy and called three girls that night for the first time.

Then I couldn’t get up the next day, and it took me a day to recover.

When he got up from the bed, he saw the entry "Xigua Video becomes the first domestic video website to be listed" at the top of Weibo's hot searches.

Chen Sicheng was still thinking, this Yang Mi is really capable, it’s only been a short time since she took over the mess of LeTV, and she has become the number one video website, suppressing iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video?
However, after careful investigation, he found that it was just a word game.

Because iQiyi and Tencent Video are not listed, Youku Tudou was privatized and delisted after being acquired by Alibaba.

Not to mention now, even before Accountant Jia got into trouble, LeTV was the top-ranked video website.

The reason why this is a hot search today is mainly because the market value of Xigua Video has recovered to 20 billion. It seems that "Legend of the Sun" launched a few days ago has played a significant role. I heard that it has attracted millions of members to the website.

Although the market value is still far from LeTV's peak, the money Yang Mi and his team spent on buying the website and the subsequent investment have been earned back and the company has achieved profitability.

She was so happy that she ignored the fact that Wang Quan did not come home tonight, and watched the last episode of "Tucao Conference" in her arms with Liu Yifei. The main guests of this episode were two members of Phoenix Legend.

Moreover, Yang Mi has already contacted the Laughing Fruit team behind the Tucao Conference. Their company's second program will be hosted on Xigua Video, tentatively named "Talk Show Conference". It can be regarded as betting on both sides and sharing the risk. However, little do they know that the biggest risk for this team is internal.

It is not surprising that Xiaoguo chose Xigua. Xigua Video now has quite a lot of traffic. In addition to the Wangdao system that has been investing resources in it, Toutiao is also helping Xigua Video to attract traffic and treating it as its own company.

Toutiao has become a force to be reckoned with, and now TikTok has threatened Kuaishou’s dominance in short video content.

Just this month, Kuaishou received US$3.5 million in financing from Tencent Video.

This amount of money is not much considering the potential that Kuaishou has shown now, and Kuaishou does not really need that little money.

But Douyin has made them feel tremendous pressure. Although there is still a gap between the two companies in terms of registered users, active users and even user online time, the gap was larger at the beginning, and Douyin is already narrowing the gap.

So they brought in Tencent. Douyin has Toutiao behind it, so with Tencent as their backing, they have found a backer.

As for whether this backer is reliable or not...

"You can't rely on any backer, it's better to rely on yourself than on others," said Wang Quan.

"Director, you are absolutely right!" Da Tiantian clinked glasses with Wang Quan. She had drunk quite a bit.

After being invited by Wang Quan to make a guest appearance, Jing Tian was very excited and went directly to visit the crew.

She came in the afternoon. Wang Quan was busy and ignored her. After work, he took her out for a meal and had some drinks.

Wang Quan didn't drink much, mainly because she was urged to drink. Who would have thought that she would listen to the advice so much and started complaining after drinking too much, and Wang Quan had to coax her.

"Okay, that's enough for today. You're so drunk, I'll ask your assistant to take you back."

"Ah, is this the end?" Jing Tian was still unsatisfied.

Wang Quan: "What? You still want to put on a show?"

Jing Tian: "I do want to, but you should be very busy."

Wang Quan: "I am busy, but I also exercise on weekdays. Why don't you exercise with me?"

Jing Tian's face turned red. She was not a child anymore, so how could she not understand this?

Isn’t sports just something between men and women?

But when I think about the fact that Wang Quan is already divorced, I think I should just exercise.

When Wang Quan brought Jing Tian to another home, Jing Tian looked at the ping-pong table in front of him with an incredible look on his face. Is this the sport you are talking about?!
