You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 700 ① Intimate Scene ② Living Together ③ Going Together ④ So-called Rest Day
On October 10st, we officially entered the six-day National Day holiday.

Yang Mi has created another wave of public opinion for the movie she starred in. During a roadshow, she announced that she would officially become a director and direct her debut film.

The male lead is Zhang Ruoyun, and Wu Jing and Zhang Yi will also be invited to make guest appearances.

Public opinion was in an uproar for a while, and this made the heroine Yang Mi, who had few roles and a weak presence, instantly the focus of the entire network. "The Climber" also once again received several hot searches.

Yang Mi, a 85-born beauty, wants to be a director!

Many people dare not think about this matter too much. Some people want to laugh at her, some people are waiting for Yang Mi to make a big splash, and some people hope that Yang Mi's name will be written as the director, but it will actually be Wang Quan who will be in charge. That would be perfect.

On this day, "The Climbers" successfully broke through 4 million in single-day box office, far ahead of others.

Wu Jing has once again proved his ability to direct and act in his own films. Now some people on the Internet have said that he is the second Wang Quan, and he has become one of the most reassuring personal brands for the domestic audience.

Then a day later, the "Changjin Lake" project was also disclosed by Qiankun.

Xu Ke is the second highest grossing director in China.

After "The Climber", Wu Jing will surpass Chen Sicheng and move up to third place.

Add to that Lin Chaoxian, who has made hits such as "Operation Red Sea" and "Operation Mekong".

The three major directors joining forces are no less attractive than Wang Quan working alone.

So fans who like Wu Jing were even more excited. Even though "The Captain" also had a very good reputation, it was still overshadowed by "The Climbers".

If "The Climbers" suppresses it, it will suppress "My Country, My Parents".

"My Country, My Parents", which has the strongest background and the most legitimate pedigree, can only come in last place, but considering its lowest cost among the three, it has already made a huge profit.

Moreover, it would not be a problem to surpass the total box office of "The Founding of a Republic" trilogy, so the CEO of China Film Group was very happy, but Director Kai Ge was not happy.

After Ni Ni returned to the crew, she not only brought back the newly released 2022 Winter Olympics mascot Bing Dwen Dwen, but also brought back some interesting anecdotes during the promotional activities.

"Haha!" Ni Ni first laughed loudly, and then told Wang Quan and Liu Yifei about the experience of director Kai Ge being approached in the face and opened wide during the roadshow.

"The audience first expressed his love for the film, and then talked about the ranking of several clips in his mind. As a result, director Kai Ge's own "Daytime Meteor" ranked seventh."

Wang Quan was also amused, "This movie is a total of seven short films."

"Yes!" Ni Ni continued to laugh, "If he had known this would happen, he might as well have been the chief director. He had to shoot one himself to show everyone an example, but ended up with this."

Ma Fanshu nodded: "It seems that the main criticism of "Motherland" online is focused on the film directed by Kai Ge."

At this time, Liu Yifei hugged Bing Dwendun and asked, "So where does your performance in Encounter rank?"

Ni Ni's smile came to an abrupt end.

Wang Quan touched Xixi and said, "If you don't know how to talk, don't say anything. I saw online that Encounter ranked sixth in terms of reputation."

Liu Yifei smiled evilly: "Second to last~"

Ni Ni quickly denied it: "No, what you said is not authoritative. Some people say that "Escort" is sixth! There are some authoritative statistics, and our "Encounter" has been ranked in the top four."

The starring actors of "Escort" are Tong Yaya and Chen Dudu, the director is Wen Muye, and the reputation is not very good.

Zhang Yi and Ni Ni's acting in "Encounter" was talked about a lot, but the plot was too simple.

The main reason why "Escort" was criticized was that Chen Duling played a hot-tempered girl, which made it difficult for the audience to empathize with the film. She was more suitable to play a quiet and elegant girl.

As for the better ones among the seven short films, Xu Zheng's "Win the Championship", Guan Hu's "The Eve", and Ning Hao's "Hello Beijing" are usually ranked in the top three.

Guan Hu hopes that the performance of the main theme this time will allow the relevant departments to give "Eight Hundred" a break.

Xu Zheng has re-proven his ability as a director with this performance, and has also made various investors more optimistic about his new work "Lost in Russia", which will be released during next year's Spring Festival.

At this stage, Ning Hao is a little confused about what to shoot, so his focus is still on being a producer and training new directors.

However, the best young directors in the country are all in Wang Dao. The ones he can recruit are basically those who are looked down upon by Wang Dao, or those who have too rebellious personalities and cannot survive in Wang Dao.

After all, mainstream directors only produce twelve or thirteen leading works every year, and new directors only produce two or three every year.

Others who are not able to make the cut will either become assistant directors for famous directors, or improve their own scripts, or work for Qiankun Mi Shi.

Of course, some people were inspired by Ning Hao and joined his Bad Monkey. As the number of members increased, Ning Hao also ambitiously launched a Bad Monkey 72-transformation director plan, preparing to introduce a group of new directors in an orderly manner to become director godfathers like Wang Quan, the two most outstanding directors of their generation!

After sending the two assistants away, Wang Quan put his arm around Sissi and looked at Ni Ni.

Liu Yifei knew she couldn't escape, so she let him do whatever he wanted, it wouldn't hurt her.

And Wang Quan also said: "Your intimate scenes will be filmed soon, I am also helping you get the feeling in advance."

Ni Ni smiled and said, "Then how about we two go first?"

Wang Quan said it was no problem and pushed Xixi into Ni Ni's arms.

On the stage, Liu Yifei always plays the female role and Ni Ni plays the male role.

Although the two are of similar height, Ni Ni did some special training before filming began, while Liu Yifei strictly controlled her food intake to make herself fair, young and thin again. So now Ni Ni is stronger than Liu Yifei, and they look more like a perfect match visually.

After she hugged Liu Yifei, she exerted force with her arms to push Liu Yifei closer to her, and their mouths got closer and closer.

~
"Ka!" When Liu Yifei and Ni Ni's mouths were about to touch, Wang Quan stood up and said, "Very good, then clear the place."

Today we are going to shoot an intimate scene between the two heroines.

The two male protagonists, Chen Xiao and Li Xian, were both kicked out. Li Xian had just joined the crew, while Chen Xiao had been there for some time.

Nominally he is the male lead, but the two of them only have a few minutes of screen time combined, and both of them are pursuers of Ni Ni's character, in a relationship of one pursuing the other.

Although they don't have many roles, it is their lifelong dream to work with Wang Quan. Not to mention that he is the nominal male lead, even if he is a small supporting role with not many scenes, they will put aside all their work and come.

Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao thought they were going to leave too, but were kept by Wang Quan to help.

In fact, they had finished filming their scenes a long time ago and should have returned to Hangzhou, but the crew was about to finish filming the indoor and outdoor scenes in Shaoxing, so they delayed for a while, planning to leave together when the crew left.

Although this is a lesbian movie, it is a movie that is about to be released in theaters after all, so it is impossible to be too straightforward and talk about love directly.

The audience can only use eye contact, some small movements, and imagination to fill in the gaps, allowing them to feel the love between the two people from vague to passionate.

Today's scene is the most unsubtle.

The scene is the dormitory of the two heroines, but they are wearing costumes and makeup from the play "Lu You and Tang Wan".

Acting and loving at the same time make it hard to tell whether this is a play or reality.

It’s a play, but it didn’t happen on stage.

Let’s talk about reality, they are still wearing makeup.

Moreover, in this realistic dormitory scene, the lighting is full of dreams, and you can even hear drum music.

With the foreshadowing between Wang Quan and the other two last night, they performed very well in this scene and were not afraid of intimate scenes at all.

Although there was no exposure, the ambiguous feeling was almost overflowing, and coupled with the Yue Opera singing, it was both beautiful and ambiguous, and full of the high-end sense of national art, which made Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao a little excited.

I didn't expect that the Yue Opera they have been singing for so many years could be so dirty!

This scene took a whole day to shoot. In the end, Wang Quan simply kicked everyone out, leaving only him and the two actors discussing the details.

At this point, the part in Shaoxing has also come to an end, involving the two heroines' learning of skills since childhood, their first performance on stage, their small fame, the birth of love, as well as some stories about the two teachers when they were young and in the present.

These parts took more than a month to shoot, accounting for almost half of the total time, and were mainly indoor scenes.

Next, they will go to the big cities like Shanghai and Beijing. Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao will also leave the crew, so Wang Quan will accompany them tonight.

They seemed to be deeply moved by today's scene. When Wang Quan entered the room, they had already changed into their costumes from "New Dragon Inn" and started acting without waiting for Wang Quan.

Wang Quan laughed: "You guys want to kick me out and fly away together."

Yunxiao, dressed in red, waved to Wang Quan charmingly, "Come here, let him push from behind."

She used theatrical accent, and "he" naturally referred to the character played by Chen Lijun, her CP.

Junjun was immediately angry and said, "You are my woman," so she tore off Li Yunxiao's bellyband.

Wang Quan took the bellyband and the person, "You push now, and let her push later. It's mutually beneficial, understand?"

Because they will go their separate ways tomorrow and may not see each other again for a long time, so the three of them were very crazy tonight and hardly slept all night.

But Wang Quan would lead the team out early tomorrow morning, so he left before Jun Xiao and the others got up.

The next stop is Shanghai.

When Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao woke up, Wang Quan had already left. However, there was an extra text message on their mobile phones, and they thought it was a message from Wang Quan.

It turned out to be from a bank.

After seeing clearly what the text message said, they both exclaimed "Ah" and sat up from the bed and looked at each other.

"This, what is this!"

The text message said that a certain fund had transferred a huge sum of 580.56 million yuan to them!

This directly increased their personal wealth to 590 million!
The first thing Chen Lijun might have thought of was whether this was the breakup fee Wang Quan gave them and that they would not contact each other in the future.

However, Li Yunxiao analyzed: "If it is really a breakup fee, it wouldn't be so mixed. Wouldn't it be more decent to give 600 million yuan more?"

"Then what exactly does she mean?" Junjun's eyes were red. "I was like that yesterday. I didn't care about my bottom line when facing him. But today I received his money. Could it be that he felt very happy and gave it to us as a reward? Then I will be even more angry!"

Li Yunxiao comforted Junjun like a sister, "This, this doesn't prove that he gave the money? What if the bank made a mistake?"

"Then should we ask the bank?" Chen Lijun asked.

Li Yunxiao held the phone: "Let's just ask him directly."

The call went through, but the person who answered was Assistant Sun Yining. She said that Director Quan was sorting out ideas for the subsequent filming and should not be disturbed.

Li Yunxiao was a little embarrassed to ask. Although the two assistants should be aware of their relationship with Wang Quan, she still found it difficult to bring it up.

But Chen Lijun was eager to know the nature of the money, so she snatched the phone and asked Sun Yining straight away how they suddenly received a sum of money in the morning.

Then Sun Yining enthusiastically answered this question.

Li Yunxiao also heard it and was shocked: "So it's more than five million every month?"

Sun Yining smiled and said, "Not necessarily. The principal is fixed. The more people there are, the less they will get in theory. I thought it would be less than 500 million this month."

"Then how many people will get it?" Chen Lijun started gossiping.

Sun Yining smiled and said, "I don't know about that."

She only knew that since she became an assistant, six new people have joined, and the total amount in recent months has not exceeded 500 million. Last month, each person only received a little over 400 million.

Later, it was Sister Ma who told her, "Our fund probably bought Apple shares. Apple has grown rapidly recently, and its market value has exceeded one trillion."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao stared at each other. With so much money every month, that would be tens of millions a year. It seemed too much to handle.

They were driven by desire and had done so many absurd things with Wang Quan, and now there was such a huge sum of money involved. They felt that they could never live without that man.

"Then will we still perform opera in the future?" Chen Lijun asked somewhat confusedly.

Learning opera is very hard. These young opera actors, except those who have inherited the art from their families, are basically children from ordinary economic conditions. At the beginning, they just want to find a way to make a living.

And now, Assistant Sun said that as long as this relationship with Director Quan is maintained, the fund will continue to exist, the principal will remain unchanged, and money will be deposited every month.

Li Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "The girls around that guy should be mostly actresses and celebrities, right?"

"Well, that should be the case." Chen Lijun nodded.

Li Yunxiao: "In terms of fame, we are not as good as them. In terms of appearance, they are definitely very beautiful, and we don't have any advantages. I think our only feature is our profession, which is very fresh to Director Quan, and I also love Yue Opera."

Chen Lijun nodded: "I can't bear to leave Master and the others either!"

So the two reached a consensus.

~
As for the other half, Yang Chaoyue started complaining in the mistress group early in the morning.

Yang Chaoyue: Ever since Xiaotian joined, the amount has never exceeded 500 million, and there is still a long way to go before the deposit exceeds million.

Tian Xiwei: Blame me~
Tian Xiwei is with Yang Chaoyue at the moment. Last night, Tian Xiwei, Zhou Ye and Yang Chaoyue watched a movie together and slept together at the end.

It is precisely because of our good relationship that I dare to complain like this.

Chen Duling: Is the stock market not doing well recently?

Wang Churan: It may be possible that there are new people, but we don’t know.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei suddenly threw out a screenshot of a text message.

Tian Xiwei: 580 million! Hahahaha!
The outstanding performance of the charity fund this month has made the group excited, and everyone is discussing having dinner together, having fun, and spending money.

At this time, Zhang Ruonan said regretfully: I am not in Beijing, I came to Shanghai.

Chen Duling: What a coincidence, Director Quan also took the crew to Shanghai today. I saw it on the news~
……

Wang Quan had just put down the phone and finished his work. After hearing what Sun Yining said about the phone call, he called Jun Xiao back.

He also suggested on the phone that they could come to Beijing in the future to open a northern branch of the Baihua Yue Opera Troupe, so that everyone could be together more often and be apart less.

The two said that they would save more money and then buy shares in Xiaobaihua, which would then allow them to open a branch in the north.

Today is Wang Quan’s day off.

This means you have to rest as well.

In the crew of "Lily", all actors and staff can rest, but only Wang Quan has no rest day, so he has been working non-stop for more than a month.

And after work, she is also exploited by the six women in the crew.

In other words, he is too energetic to be human. If it were anyone else, they would have long lost their human form.

So today, Concubine Liu Yi told him to have a good rest and took Ni Ni away. The two of them went shopping and came back in the evening. She was determined not to let Wang Quan touch any woman.

But unfortunately, the crew of "The Captain" came to Shanghai for promotion today.

This movie stars Gao Yuanyuan, Dilraba Dilmurat, Zhang Tianai, Meng Ziyi and Zhang Ruonan, who has a small role. She plays an airport worker, or ground staff.

Given the looks of these people, it would be a shame if Wang Quan didn't meet them.

And it’s too inefficient to meet them one by one, so let’s do it together!
~
By mid-October, three films, "The Climbers", "The Captain" and "My People, My Country", had broken the 20 billion mark one after another. However, "The Climbers" was faster and was approaching 30 billion.

At this time, Mi Shi's award-winning work "Better Days" in Venice will also be officially released~
Between the three National Day movies and Better Days, there is a movie called Gemini Killer, which just broke through the 100 million box office...
