You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 641 ① The sequel to Inception ② Cannes invitation ③ The Queen ④ Hard-working Nicole ⑤ Working like a slave

A year has passed since Wang Quan selected the heroine of "Xiao Yao You".

When Wang Quan was filming the last large group scene, he invited Yang Chaoyue, Zhang Ruonan and others to make guest appearances.

It was only at this time that they finally confirmed that the lucky person chosen by Director Quan was Chen Duling.

During this year, they all had different situations and their fates changed accordingly.

Zhang Xueying and Yang Yutong both starred in "Condemned" directed by Cao Baoping. The film has been completed and will be released in the second half of the year.

Zhang Ruonan has completed her acting debut, "In the Mood for Love", which will be released next month.

Zhang Jingyi from Shaoyang has passed the art examinations of the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy, and is only waiting for the college entrance examination in June.

Wang Churan joined Bingcheng Entertainment, owned by her fellow Shandong native Fan Bingbing, and passed the art exams of two theaters. However, she was struggling over whether to choose the Shanghai Theatre Academy in Shanghai or the Beijing Film Academy in Beijing. In addition, she had already gotten the important role of the cousin in "The General Is Female", so she would join the crew after the college entrance examination.

Although Ding Xiaoying is still in college, she has already started using her vacation time to participate in Mi Shi's own dramas, playing Jiang Peiyao's best friend in her new drama "Dear, Beloved".

Hu Lianxin, who is still a high school student, has also signed a contract with Mishi, and Yang Mi is planning to let her debut on Produce 101.

In addition, Yang Chaoyue is still doing her live broadcast, and Sun Yining has become a Tik Tok internet celebrity and is thinking hard about how to monetize it.

The only one who was not invited by Wang Quan was Song Zuer, but Yang Chaoyue and the others thought that Song Zuer had other important roles in the movie.

Several people surrounded the heroine Chen Duling, but they didn't talk much as the filming task was very tight.

First of all, some actors were only given one day’s schedule, so we had to shoot a few panoramic shots on the first day, including all the actors, and then slowly shoot close-ups.

With fewer schedules, she naturally has fewer shots and may just be a background board, even if she is Lin Qingxia, Wang Zuxian, or Chen Hong.

After a week of exciting filming, only 100 people out of the 60 were still on the set when the filming was finished.

Wang Quan was thrown into the air by the women. When he finally landed, Gao Yuanyuan felt a tightness in her chest, as if she was being pressed down, and her nose and eyes were hurt.

She was also invited to make a guest appearance, and since she had nothing to do, she simply stayed until the end of the filming and had a few words with Wang Quan.

However, people on the Internet say that I am Wang Quan’s ideal type, and he is single now. Why doesn’t he seem to have any special expression towards me? Is it because I am too old?
But netizens all say that she is more attractive than when she was young.

Wang Quan thought: Among these more than one hundred stars, at least a dozen of them have had sexual relations with me. If I get too close to you, I will harm you!

In order to prevent the filming set from turning into a feast of debauchery, Wang Quan had to treat everyone equally and not get too close to anyone. He would just watch the replays during the breaks in filming.

After work, I will decide whether to sleep with the two Bings tonight, or to fight the assistant group alone, or Nazha, Ni Ni, Ye Zi, Fei Hongjie, etc. There are too many choices.

Because the filming needed to be kept secret, there was no wrap-up party. After the filming was over, Wang Quan gave everyone a big red envelope, said words of thanks, and sent them away in a car.

Of course, some of them planned to go together because they were friends.

For example, the double Min played by Vivian Chow and Zhang Min.

For example, Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen’s Zhao Min and Zhiruo.

For example, Dabaobeer took Wen Yongshan away with him.

Yang Chaoyue, Sun Yining and others also planned to have a small gathering.

Dudu wanted to go with Wang Quan, and she didn’t know if she would have the chance to do so again in the future, but she was helplessly pulled away by Chaoyue and the others.

The last ones to stay were Liu Shishi and Jing Tian. Both of them hoped that the other would leave first so that they could go on a date with Wang Quan. It was indeed the passionate love period.

Wang Quan looked at this and then that, and finally chose: "Well, I have to go home. I have been on the set these days. My daughter must miss me. See you later."

He then stayed at home for three days, then plunged into the editing room and began working without sleep or food.

This series is filmed and edited at the same time. After the filming was completed, a 4-hour version without special effects was edited for the first part according to the script sequence.

Next, Wang Quan will delete another hour of scenes based on this, so that the three-hour version can start post-production.

In fact, part of the post-production had already started at the beginning of filming, and it was done while filming. The 30-second trailer showed some of the special effects completed during the filming.

This can greatly shorten the post-production time. Otherwise, how could such a huge workload be completed in half a year? Even if the special effects of the first film are the least among the three films, it would still be difficult to achieve.

And now Wang Quan needs about two minutes of special effects footage.

Because Cannes is in May, which is the world's largest film trading platform and the best publicity platform for the global market, Wang Quan plans to take a two-minute clip to Cannes for announcement.

Wang Quan is so devoted to his work that he rarely even goes home. Xian Mi is also busy, so now it is Yang Mi's parents who are taking care of their granddaughter.

Wang Quan lives and eats in the company, and he has help from Sister Feihong, Sister Meng and Xuefu with his physiological problems.

People like Nazha and Zhou Ye would come to the company to visit him when they missed him.

But you must tell Wang Quan in advance, you can't just come and create a surprise, because the result of creating a surprise may sometimes be to frighten people.

Once, when Liu Shishi came to Mi Shi to sign a contract, she went to visit Wang Quan as well. Although Xue Fu blocked the door for a while, after entering, she still saw a girl with wet hair in the office, who seemed to have sweated a lot.

After that, Liu Shishi knew to say hello before going there.

That day she left the company with Da Tiantian. The two of them also made an appointment to have dinner together. They were accidentally photographed by paparazzi, who thought they were collaborating on something.

Because he was busy with work, Wang Quan didn't even watch the first episode of "In the Name of People", but he felt that it should be better than the version he watched, after all, it was shortened by two episodes.

Anyway, the membership of Xigua Video, which has the exclusive online broadcasting rights for "In the Name of People", has been completely blown away.

After the very successful TV series "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and the movie "Legend of the Sun", Xigua Video finally ushered in a nuclear explosion-level TV series.

The TV station's ratings easily broke the highest ratings previously held by "The Temptation to Go Home" for nearly five years.

The number of clicks on the Internet was also astonishing, successfully pushing the number of paid members of Xigua Video to exceed 3 million again, and the new membership fees during the playback period reached million!
Within one month of the TV series being broadcast, Xigua Video’s stock price hit the daily limit seven times on the stock market, and its market value successfully exceeded 300 billion!
At this time, "The Coming One", which had been in preparation for some time, was officially broadcast. Although the first episode had high clicks and popularity, it seemed to be just that.

In the second episode, a contestant named Mao Buyi sang his original song "If One Day I Become Very Rich", which made the online audience begin to find it interesting.

During this period, "Fast and Furious 8" was also released in China, and the two female protagonists, Gadot and Theron, came to China to promote the movie.

But the propaganda was false, the secret meeting with Wang Quan was true.

In the end, the box office of this movie surpassed that of "Dangal", temporarily becoming the highest-grossing imported movie this year. It finally saved Hollywood's face and prevented it from being overshadowed by the Indians.

Hollywood is also very distressed. Since "Transformers 4", no Hollywood movie has been able to earn more than 20 billion yuan at the box office in mainland China.

If this continues, there will be no place for Hollywood in the top ten of the mainland market. MAPP is anxious and wants to apply for a Hollywood protection month in the mainland, where only Hollywood movies can be shown and Chinese blockbusters are not allowed to bully others.

There is definitely no chance of protecting the month, but the higher-ups are really seriously studying the possibility of letting Hollywood movies enter the theater during the Spring Festival. It seems that they are not that powerful.

Many people believe that if Hollywood movies want to break 20 billion yuan in the mainland box office, apart from Transformers and Avengers sequels, the only way is for Wang Quan to make another Hollywood blockbuster.

Emma Watson also thought so, so she wished Wang Quan a happy new year at the end of April after not having contacted him for a long time, and also asked about the possibility of a sequel to "Inception".

She's not doing well in Hollywood now. The Harry Potter series has ended, and she was not even invited to shoot the spin-offs. She also missed out on La La Land, which won Stone the Best Actress award. She also lost to Lily and missed out on Beauty and the Beast, which grossed $13 billion worldwide.

The box office performance of "The Circle", a movie she starred in with Tom Hanks, which was released not long ago, was also not ideal.

Now she has been reduced to playing a supporting role to her junior Saoirse Ronan in the new film "Little Women".

Or they rely on marketing some talented women or scandals about being pursued by British princes to maintain popularity.

She feels that the only thing that can bring her back to the peak of her career is the sequel to "Inception" except for the middle-aged version of "Harry Potter".

However, Wang Quan told her confidently: "We don't have this plan. And Emma, ​​pay attention to the time difference. It's already early morning in China~"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Quan lifted Jiang Jiang's legs and continued.

Jiang Jiang is now focusing on urban dramas, and her image is not suitable for ancient costumes, so "Xiao Yao You" did not find her.

But she would look for Wang Quan every once in a while to maintain their friendship, and every time she would bring Wang Quan's favorite stockings.

In May, Wang Quan's work came to a temporary halt due to a phone call.

Cannes Film Festival President Pierre Lescure personally called to invite Wang Quan to serve as the president of the jury of the 70th Cannes International Film Festival.

He is the chairman, not an ordinary judge. In the history of Cannes, only Wong Kar-wai, a Chinese director, has served as the chairman of the jury. Then he held a grand ceremony to give out Best Actress and Best Actor awards.

Others such as Li An, Chen Kaige, Gong Li, Jiang Wen, Edward Yang, and Jia Zhangke are just judges.

Zhang Yimou has never been a judge at the Cannes Film Festival, but given his status, he would probably not be happy to be a judge, and he cannot be invited unless he is the chairman of the jury.

Last year, Pierre Lescure had invited Wang Quan, but Wang Quan was filming "The Happy Journey" and had no time. Now that the filming is finished, the other party called him and invited Wang Quan very sincerely.

Wang Quan thought about it and decided that it would only take about ten days, so he could ask the post-production team to do some work that he would not need to supervise.

So he readily agreed.

Pierre Lescure was very happy. With Wang Quan as the chairman of the jury, he could invite some Hollywood A-list stars to serve as judges to increase the star power of Cannes.

Such as Brad Pitt, Will Smith and so on.

This is the appeal of top directors. For example, in the 66th film led by Steven Spielberg, Li An and Nicole Kidman could only play supporting roles.

This news cannot be announced for the time being, and the shortlist for the Cannes main competition unit has not yet been determined.

But because Wang Quan is in the lead, the selection committee may have some preferences when making the choice.

It’s just a pity that Wang Dao currently has no suitable films to submit for selection, and Zhang Yimou’s new work "Shadow" is not an award-winning film, so it will most likely participate in the screening unit.

As far as I can remember, no Chinese-language films were nominated this year, which is a pity. Otherwise, with Wang Quan around, they would have been able to secure a small award and not end up with nothing.

There is still a week left until Cannes, and Wang Quan has to start preparing to hand over the post-production team.

And just at this moment, bad news came.

Qingchun Tree Animation, Wu Hanqing, the wife of Wang Yu, the screenwriter and director of "Kuiba", passed away due to cancer.

Wang Yu is Kuiba's father, she can be said to be Kuiba's mother, and Wang Quan is Kuiba's godfather. With the joint efforts of the three of them, this IP has changed its destiny. This news is a heavy blow to the "Kuiba" series which has just got on track.

Wang Wei also temporarily stopped the production of "Qiba 2".

When Wang Quan helped to take care of the funeral, he prepared to fly to Cannes, and the list of Cannes juries was also announced.

Wang Quan serves as the chairman of the jury.

Another judge is Hollywood star Will Smith.

Hollywood A-list actress Anne Hathaway.

Marina Alexandrova, the American superstar, you can also call her the empress.

Korean director Park Chan-wook.

Italian director Paolo Sorrentino.

German film director Maren Ade.

French screenwriter Agnes Chavilli.

and French composer Gabriel Yarde.

Including Wang Quan, there are a total of nine people. This lineup can be said to be quite luxurious, and it takes into account both the Eastern and Western camps, as well as directors, actors, screenwriters, and musicians from many professions.

At this time, the Cannes nomination list has been announced. I never expected that so many Chinese-language films would be shortlisted for Cannes!
First is the main competition unit.

"An Elephant Sitting Still" invested by Qiankun Investment was shortlisted. I heard that it was completed in just 20 days, which surprised Wang Quan.

After all, it is the debut work of a new director. Generally, this kind of treatment is only given to new directors in Europe and the United States, and they usually have more powerful teachers.

But Hu Bo was a wild man, he didn't even call Lao Wang "godfather".

In addition, the Un Certain Regard unit, produced by Wang Dao, directed by Sun Rui, and starring Li Xian and Zhang Ruonan, "In the Mood for Love" was shortlisted.

I never expected that Sun Rui would turn his original novel into an artistic youth film and submit it to Cannes.

It seems that the box office is hopeless, but the cost is not too high, so I hope I can sell some overseas copyrights. Then there is the short film unit, and it is Qiankun again. Dapeng shot a short film called "Auspicious" and successfully entered the list.

This film was obtained by chance. At first, Da Peng wanted to shoot it for fun, to record how my grandma's family celebrated the New Year. Unexpectedly, my grandmother passed away before the New Year and preparations for the funeral began. Da Peng decided to continue filming and send my grandma off with a movie.

But since he was the director, he needed someone to play himself, so he invited actress Wan Qian.

Later, he changed it. Instead of playing himself, he played the role of his third uncle's cousin and shot a short film that mixed reality and fiction.

My third uncle got divorced because of an injury and intellectual impairment. His daughter left his ex-wife and they have had no contact for many years. Wan Qian played the role of this cousin who came to attend her grandmother's funeral. Unexpectedly, during the filming, the real cousin heard that her cousin was going to make a movie, so she came back.

Then the story became interesting.

Upon hearing that his work was shortlisted for the Cannes Short Film category, Dapeng slid down to his knees in front of Lao Wang and said, "This is not a godfather, he is my biological father!"
"I can't believe that a mere comedian like me can make it to the big stage in Cannes!"

We are very excited about being shortlisted for Cannes. Sewing Machine has also been confirmed as Qiankun’s key project this year and will be released in July. It’s a double happiness!
The last one is the non-competitive screening unit, Zhang Yimou’s “Shadow”.

A total of four films were shortlisted for Cannes, and there were even more films being sold, basically all for Wang Quan, hoping to invite Wang Quan to events to increase their bargaining chips with foreign film producers.

Wang Quan went to France on his own and did not travel with the crews. As a judge, he still had to avoid suspicion, especially with the works in the main competition unit.

He arrived in Cannes the day before the opening ceremony, and Anne Hathaway also arrived, and the two of them immediately fell in love.

After all, who knows if there will be time and opportunity after the film festival starts.

Afterwards, the judges arrived one after another, including old friends and new friends.

Will Smith hugged Wang Quan with a bear hug. They had just met last month. Wang Quan invited Smith to play a role of Kunlun slave in "Easy Journey", but he preferred to play the leading role in Wang Quan's film, preferably an art film, the kind that could win an Oscar for Best Actor.

Park Chan-wook is also an old acquaintance. His "Oldboy" is Wang Quan's favorite Korean film. Last year, his "The Handmaiden" received very good reviews in Cannes, but unfortunately it did not win an award.

Among the new friends, the one Wang Quan was most interested in was Marina Alexandrova.

This actress is famous at home and abroad for her role as Empress Catherine in "Catherine the Great" and she has a natural domineering aura.

Although she is three years older than Wang Quan, she still has her charm.

Wang Quan has a lot to talk about with her, after all, they are both divorced.

Beijing, Beijing Film Academy.

Tian Xiwei was in the dormitory with Zhou Ye, watching the news about the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.

"Magic Band" has been released and has earned 2.28 million yuan at the box office, making it a dark horse and having a very good reputation.

The male and female protagonists Peng Yuchang and Tian Xiwei have become famous in the film industry, but Xiaotian did not expect that Peng Yuchang, who was as unknown as himself before, would be shortlisted for Cannes with the movie he starred in.

Tian Xiwei said somewhat exaggeratedly: "Peng Peng is the leading actor in that movie, which means he may directly become the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival!"

Zhou Ye said proudly: "Whether he can win the Best Actor award depends on Director Quan's words."

And Director Quan is her man!

Although this sounds like a joke, it is actually that simple. In Cannes, the Best Actor award is a relatively low-level award, and as the chairman, he can make the final decision.

Soon, the crew of "Elephant" appeared.

In addition to director Hu Bo, male protagonists Peng Yuchang and Zhang Yu, there is also the female lead Wang Yuwen, but she is holding hands with the director.

Tian Xiwei introduced, "I heard from Pengpeng that she was the director's girlfriend and they were about to break up, but when they heard that she was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, they got back together at lightning speed."

Zhou Ye: "She looks pretty good, is she also from the top three?"

Tian Xiwei: "From Beijing Dance Academy."

Next to appear is the crew of Sofia Coppola's "The Beguiled". As the name suggests, this is a crew full of beautiful women.

In addition to Wang Quan’s old friend Nicole Kidman, there is also Elle Fanning from the Fanning sisters, and Kirsten Dunst, the girlfriend of the first generation Spider-Man.

Hong Sang-soo from the Korean country has also been shortlisted for the main competition unit with his work "Afterwards". The heroine is the heroine of "The Handmaiden", the Korean fairy Kim Min-hee.

Kim Min-hee is currently dating Hong Sang-soo, and her ex-boyfriends include Lee Soo-hyuk, Jo In-sung, and Lee Jung-jae, all of whom are handsome men.

With this lineup, Wang Quan wanted to try out what magic she had. She even scratched her palm at the Asian Film Festival before. However, Wang Quan was too busy and couldn’t sleep all the time. She simply couldn’t sleep all the time!
When these two were together, Director Hong was still a married man. Last year, there was a huge uproar over this matter. Director Hong even abandoned his wife and daughter for her. It was officially announced in March this year, while his wife is still fighting a divorce lawsuit.

Originally, "Okja" directed by Bong Joon-ho was also shortlisted for the main competition unit this year, but due to Wang Quan's butterfly effect, it failed to be shortlisted this time and was arranged to the non-competitive screening unit to keep company with Zhang Yimou.

It is true. "Okja" is just a commercial film that is not very well made. It is really outrageous that it was shortlisted for the main competition unit.

One crew after another walked down the red carpet, and Nicole Kidman even changed her dress and walked twice.

She has been quite productive this year, starring in A24's horror film "The Killing of a Sacred Deer," which was shortlisted for the main competition.

In addition, her performances in "How to Pick Up Girls at Parties" and "Top of the Lake" were selected for the non-competitive unit.

Maybe her husband is too boring, so she actively devotes herself to the filming of the movie and numb herself with work.

It’s just a pity that this time Wang Quan is the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit and has to keep his distance from her.

But you can see that the way she looks at herself is already ticking.

Soon, when "Wonder Woman" is released next month, she can use the excuse of going to China for promotion to go to Beijing with Gadot. She is even more excited at the thought of them "mother and daughter" joining together.

Finally, Wang Quan appeared on the red carpet wearing a suit and sunglasses, with Anne Hathaway and Will Smith on both sides of him, and Wang Quan delivered an opening speech.

Seeing this lineup, the Internet was boiling again.

Pure Me (òó): Director Quan is so majestic that even Stephen Chow and Hathaway become supporting roles when standing next to him.

Shu Shu Shu Chen: Let alone Shi Huang, is director Park Chan-wook so invisible? He is my favorite Asian director, and yet he can only stand on the sidelines.

Wuxing Zhenren: Didn’t everyone notice Catherine the Great? She has such a strong aura in the play, but she is like a kitten in front of Director Quan.

Merchant from Another World: Nonsense, Director Quan is the chairman. If he is more powerful, he can even have the final say. How the pork is divided in the main competition of Cannes this year will depend on him, the one in charge.

Tian Hai listens: Too domineering! Director Quan, you are my God!

This is probably inappropriate: the lineup of judges this year is still very strong, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. In previous years, Director Kwon had the final say, but this year there are Director Shi Huang and Director Park. Although Director Kwon is also very good, he is young after all, and he certainly cannot ignore the opinions of his predecessors.

Shang Gu Shu Shi: Park Chan-wook is a big name in Korea, but who is he in the world? And there is also Stephen Chow. He is indeed a great actor, but in an occasion like Cannes, actors are naturally inferior to directors. I feel that he may be more willing to listen to Director Kwon's advice. As for Hathaway, I suspect that Director Kwon has slept with her, and she may have completely become Director Kwon's image now.

Tiesuo Hanjiang: Don’t say that about my goddess, Hathaway is not that kind of person!

You will turn darker after sleeping with him: Hathaway has starred in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Are there any female stars who have starred in Director Quan's movies but have not been conquered by him?
A residential building in Beijing.

Jiang Peiyao looked at the comments online and said bitterly: As for me, I didn’t do that!

Director Quan and I are innocent!

She didn’t dare to do that before, but later Director Quan and Boss Yang divorced, but she had fewer opportunities to contact Director Quan.

It was just the last scene of "Xiao Yao You", but there were so many people, 100 female stars, how could Director Quan take care of himself?

She held her chin with her hand, really wanting to be conquered by Director Quan. She wondered what that would feel like.

Just as she was thinking about it, she received a message from her agent.

"Yaoyao, it's settled. It will be broadcast on Xigua Video on the first of next month, taking over from In the Name of People. It will be broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV."

The agent was talking about "Ashes of Love", her first TV series after "Who is He", and she hopes it will be a success.

"Who is He" gave her a high starting point, and she became the leading lady in a big-budget online drama right from the start. She has to thank Wang Quan for this, and she really hopes to work like a slave for her.

Be a horse for him to ride and be a cow for him to feed milk.

At this moment, Hathaway is working like a slave for Wang Quan. Netizens are right, she has already become Wang Quan's shape, but Wang Quan has no intention of sleeping with her.

When the time comes to judge the awards, everyone can express their opinions and just stick to their own views.

There is indeed no film that he particularly wants to protect this year.

Hathaway was very pleased that Wang Quan respected her, but she felt that she didn't need to be so respectful in bed, as she liked something more exciting.

At the same time, Marina Alexandrova in the next room tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Is the soundproofing in this hotel room so poor? She remembered that the person next door was Anne Hathaway. She wondered who her male companion was, but he was quite persistent.

The next day, the first main competition film to premiere was the Chinese film "Loveless", directed by Andrei Zvyagintsev and starring Marianna Spivak and Alexey Rozin.

As the only judge from China this year, Marina Alexandrova was very active. Before the screening began, she introduced the director and the storyline to other judges, especially Wang Quan, in English.

This film also involves some Ukrainian crises. It seems that at this time, the literary and artistic workers in Goose Country have already realized that the contradiction between Ukrainian and Goose Country has reached an irreconcilable level.

However, it is a common problem of art films that the rhythm is always weird, one scene after another. It seems that these directors' greatest hobby is to make the audience uncomfortable. "Parasite" may be the Palme d'Or winner with the most comfortable viewing rhythm in recent years.

Of course, the film also has many advantages and can give the audience some thoughts about society and family.

At the opening ceremony, some actors from other units had not arrived yet.

On the third day of the film festival, the crews of "In the Mood for Grass", "Auspiciousness" and "Shadow" finally arrived.

Because there is no conflict of interest, Wang Quan cannot get too close to the "Elephant" crew, but he can have contact with these three crews.

This time, Zhang Yimou brought Deng Chao and his wife, which is a pity. If Zhang Yimou had a thicker skin, he would have invested in the main competition unit. Given the degree to which Cannes licks famous directors, it would definitely have been shortlisted.

Add to that the authority of Director Kwon and his own performance, it wouldn't be too much to win the Cannes Best Actor Award.

"Hello, Xiao Nannan." Wang Quan shook hands with Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan actually wanted to hug her, but seeing that Wan Qian only wanted to shake hands, she didn't dare to go too far.

She began to miss the night when she secretly kissed Director Quan. That was the peak of her life.

And now, coming to Cannes, as an amateur actor, this can be regarded as the peak of my career.

Wang Quan also promised Zhang Ruonan that he would go to support the premiere of "In the Mood for Love".

"Director Quan, what about our 'Shadow' crew?" Deng Chao asked quickly. Whether Wang Quan is there or not, the degree of attention from foreign media will be different.

Seeing Deng Chao's anxious look, Wang Quan waved his hand and said, "We'll see when the time comes."

Seeing that Deng Chao was getting more anxious, Lao Mouzi also started laughing.

Afterwards, Wang Quan met with Zhang Yimou privately. He hadn't seen him much when he was in Beijing because he was busy with editing.

It was only in Cannes that we had time to have a good chat.

Wang Quan knew that Zhang Yimou was a restless person, so he asked him what he planned to shoot next.

"Shadow" is a big movie, and there's also Family Feud and National Hatred. Next I plan to make a small movie, just about a small character."

"Oh, you have a plan?"

"I went to Hubei Enshi to shoot Shadow this time, and I heard that there was a private zoo there, which was managed by only one old man. I thought the story was interesting and wanted to film it."

"I think I've heard the story you told. The old man's last name is Luo, and his zoo is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people that no one else wants, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes. The old man's only daughter died of illness. Now those animals are his relatives. People and relatives, people and animals, loneliness and companionship. This time I want to discuss this."

Wang Quan shook his head.

"What, you don't like it?"

"No," Wang Quan said, "I mean, if you had filmed this movie before, I think it would definitely be shortlisted for the main competition unit, and if I were a judge, you would definitely win the award."

Zhang Yimou laughed: "I am not so impulsive about awards and box office now. I just want to shoot what I want to shoot. Taiyuan has been wanting me to shoot "Raise the Red Lantern 2". They said they will be responsible for building the house. I have to go and see it when I have time. I will shoot it if it's fun~"
