You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 708: Catching dolls, right? Why are all the dolls you catch girls?
It was quite easy for Liu Yifei to be a new mother. Not only did her mother-in-law and mother-in-law take care of her, but she also had a strong team of confinement nannies who were responsible for all matters except breastfeeding.

Liu Yifei and baby Bayi spent their first birthday after giving birth in the hospital, which also has an integrated confinement center.

So she also spent her birthday here. She just had a simple birthday celebration, but her baby’s full month celebration was celebrated in a grand manner, and she invited many friends to come.

Everyone who came praised, "This child is so fat!"

"What do you mean by fat? This is called strong! Right, Zhuangzhuang mom~" Yang Mi looked at Liu Yifei and gave the baby a random nickname again.

Looking at the baby who was like the moon surrounded by stars, Liu Yifei suddenly couldn't help but worry. With so many people pampering this child, will he become a waste in the future?

After the guests left, she told Wang Quan about her worries at night. Wang Quan agreed with her and said, "Your worries are reasonable. Why don't we move to a very shabby house while he's still a child? Then, let him know from a young age that his parents are poor. Then, let him take charge of the family early. Let him pick up mineral water bottles all day long, and hone his character in poverty. What do you think?"

"Not very good, it will all be exposed as soon as you watch it on TV! And I can't bear to let my baby pick up trash. My baby wants to pick up time~" Liu Yifei gently hit Wang Quan's chest. What a bad idea.

Wang Quan laughed, and then one of his hands started to do something weird.

Liu Yifei twisted her plump body, "Just bear with it a little longer. Tomorrow, I'll go home. When I get home, I'll let you...ah..."

On the last day in the hospital, Wang Quan finally let himself go and unlocked a new scene.

Afterwards they returned home and Yang Mi took on the responsibility of taking care of their son.

It has been a month since her directorial debut was released, and the box office has exceeded 2017 billion yuan, surpassing "The Eight Hundred" released in the same period. She is already very satisfied with it and plans to direct another "Time " ten years later.

With his two wives supporting each other at home, Wang Quan also had time to start thinking seriously about what to shoot. He has been reading the news recently, not only current news, but also the more sensational social news in the past few years.

Oh, and there is also the recent sports news about our country’s Olympic athletes achieving great results at the Neon Games.

No, no, please restrain yourself, please restrain yourself, don’t even try to shoot sports-themed movies!

I heard that Deng Xiaoping is directing a new film about table tennis. If there is a chance, Wang Quan should persuade him. There is nothing to be upset about. Don't bankrupt yourself.

After the sensation of the Happy Journey trilogy, Wang Quan hopes to calm down and shoot some realistic themes, not for the box office or awards, but just to film the ordinary people, or even the grassroots people who are ignored when a society is booming.

However, considering that many people think that filming the suffering of the lower classes is just to please foreigners, and this view is still very popular, Wang Quan will not shoot with the techniques of art films, but will shoot a feature film. He will not compete for awards or participate in exhibitions, but will tell stories down to earth. He will accept any box office revenue.

But you need to put more effort into choosing the topic.

Now Liu Yifei found him a little annoying and also thought he was stealing the baby's food. She had to go out and find something to do as soon as possible.

It happened that the military training for freshmen at Beijing Film Academy had ended, and the principal asked Wang Quan if he had time to go over and say a few words to encourage the freshmen.

Then Wang Quan went there and saw some familiar faces in the previous film, including cousins ​​Zhou Qi and Liu Jiawei from "Little Joy", and the old partners Zhang Zifeng and Zhao Jinmai.

However, the boys and girls who once had delicate faces now have dark skin and are in far worse condition than their seniors.

The venue was packed, and the seniors were all in the back, wanting to see Director Wang Quan even if there were no seats.

So standing in the corner where Wang Quan couldn't see were Chen Hong's son Chen Feiyu, as well as his classmates Song Zuer and Zhuang Dafei. They are now juniors.

As for Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei graduated in the first half of the year. Time flies so fast. When I met them, they were still junior high school students, but now they are old enough to have children.

The biggest students in the school right now are the new seniors including Zhang Jingyi and Wang Junkai.

Looking at this group of energetic young people, Wang Quan said on stage: "Now I am worried about what subject to shoot for my new work. When I saw you today, I suddenly felt that I should shoot student subjects because you decide what the world will be like in the future. In addition, I also hope that my mentality can become as young as yours."

The shouts at the scene once again became thunderous.

Does this mean that they have the opportunity to star in director Wang Quan's new film because they are close to the water and have the chance to star in it?
This was a chance to soar to fame, and the eyes of the men and women in the audience became hot.

After the freshman mobilization meeting was over, Wang Quan went to Teacher Cao Baoping’s office and sat for a while. He happened to meet Zhang Jingyi who came over on her own initiative, so he called her and asked her to do him a favor.

Zhang Jingyi joined Chen Kun and Zhou Xun's company earlier, and recently made her official debut with "The Sky of the Wind Dog Boy" with Peng Yuchang and Zhou Yiran, and was marketed as "Little Zhou Ye".

She thought the favor was to let her act in her new film, but the other party said, "I just saw Zhao Jinmai, can you help me find her? I'm in Teacher Cao Baoping's office."

After Zhang Jingyi responded in a daze, Wang Quan went into the office to chat with Teacher Cao.

After "She Kills", Mr. Cao's creative passion has not diminished. He recently read a novel called "Crossing the Sea of ​​​​Anger" and planned to adapt it into a movie. He is currently busy working on the script.

Zhao Jinmai was about to go to the cafeteria to eat with Zhang Zifeng when he happened to see Wang Junkai from TF Boys, with whom he had worked together in "Little Farewell".

As soon as the three of them started chatting, Zhang Jingyi came over and blocked their way.

Wang Junkai was about to ask his classmate why he was looking for her, but she pointed at Zhao Jinmai and said, "Director Wang Quan wants to see you, come with me."

Suddenly, everyone who heard this fell silent, including Zhang Zifeng, Wang Junkai, and Zhuang Dafei and others who passed by them.

Zhao Jinmai's heart was beating very fast. If he really wanted her to be his heroine, even if he was 17 years older than her and was already the father of four children, it would not be impossible!
"Let me lead the way for you." Zhang Jingyi personally accompanied Zhao Jinmai there.

Zhang Zifeng also wanted to accompany her, but no one called her. At this time, Yan Xujia from their class came over silently and walked side by side with her.

This tall figure, delicate skin and handsome face made Zhang Zifeng temporarily forget his recent troubles.

After entering the office, Wang Quan had no intention of trying to keep Zhang Jingyi, and she left on her own.

Wang Quan asked Zhao Jinmai to sit down and chat, then asked her with a smile: "I didn't expect you to go to Beijing Film Academy. I heard that you were the first in the art exam of the Central Academy of Drama, and you were the only one among the major art schools who didn't lose the first place to that art exam goddess Xia Meng. You must be very regretful that you didn't stay in the Central Academy of Drama."

Just as Zhao Jinmai was about to speak, Wang Quan spoke up again, "I see. Are you worried that the Central Academy of Drama won't let you go to film The Wandering Earth 2? They are indeed stricter about freshmen going out to film, but..."

Zhao Jinmai couldn't bear to listen any longer and couldn't help but interrupt Wang Quan, "Director, please listen to me first, I am indeed a student of the Central Academy of Drama."

"what?"

Zhao Jinmai said hurriedly, "I just heard Zifeng say that you were coming back to give a speech, so I came here. There are also several people from our Central Academy of Drama acting class who are here. They are all your loyal fans."

Cao Baoping, who was standing by, wanted to tease her and said, "Why don't you go to Beijing Film Academy if you like movies so much?"

Zhao Jinmai's mind worked quickly, and he said quickly, "I got first place over there, but not here, so I thought they valued me more."

Wang Quan laughed: "I thought you had some conflicts with Zhang Zifeng. She went to Beijing Film Academy but you didn't."

"No, no, we were just about to go to the cafeteria to eat, and then we were stopped by you." She looked at Wang Quan's mature and handsome face curiously, with a questioning look on her face. So why did he stop her? Did he want to treat her to a meal or shopping?
Wang Quan: "Oh, I heard that your college entrance examination results were pretty good, so I wanted to talk to you about the topic of the college entrance examination."

"As for me, I'm just average, with just over 500 points."

She said it was okay, but it seemed like she couldn't suppress the smile.

She is one of those people in the entertainment industry who is normally smart. Her score of 524 in Liaoning Province is more than 50 points higher than the undergraduate line. If she had not spent a lot of time and energy on filming since she was a child and had not devoted herself to the exam-oriented education, it should not have been a problem for her to get a good degree.

Wang Quan talked to Zhao Jinmai about her school, Shenyang No. 2 Middle School, and the school stories in her memory.

She humbly said many times that the reason she could do so well was mainly because she hired a lot of high-level one-on-one tutors, which gave her an advantage over many of her high school classmates.

The child is also very sober.

However, most child stars will have one-on-one tutoring, but it is rare to see such good scores. Her IQ is indeed above average among actors. No wonder Guo Fan once praised her for being able to understand many scientific theories during filming.

After chatting for a while, Teacher Cao left and gave the office to them. It was already past lunchtime.

Wang Quan suggested: "Thank you for the material you just provided. To show my gratitude, I will treat you to a meal."

"Ah, then just have a simple meal, no need to make it too grand." You can't be modest at this time, you must eat this meal, maybe you will get the chance to be the heroine.

"Okay, let's go. By the way, do you want to ask your familiar classmates to come along?"

Wang Quan felt that if there were only two of them, and they were photographed, it would be bad for the girl as it would easily lead to rumors.

But Zhao Jinmai thought about it and decided that if he asked female classmates, what if they competed with him? If he asked male classmates, what if Director Quan suspected that he was in a premature relationship?

Neither is good.

So she said, "No, they should have finished their meal a long time ago."

Wang Quan did not insist and found a private restaurant near the school, which he used to visit often.

I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance as soon as I came in.

Zhuang Dafei was about to eat in the cafeteria, but he got a phone call and ran out.

The call was from Li Gengxi. She didn't get into university in the end and repeated a year before stopping studying. Even if she passed, she would have to be Zhuang Dafei's junior. She was the eldest of the three sisters.

This time I called to welcome my younger sister Xiang Hanzhi.

This American girl finally followed in their footsteps, returned to her country and joined the entertainment industry. She recently finished filming her first TV series as the female lead.

They come from wealthy families, are good-looking, have extrovert personalities and decent acting skills, so it is much easier for them to make it into the entertainment industry than for girls from ordinary families.

Compared to them, Zhao Jinmai was just an ordinary girl who had worked her way up step by step. She didn't even know where these three people came from. Zhuang Dafei even suggested without any hesitation: "Brother-in-law, why don't we share a table? It will be more lively with more people."

Brother-in-law, are all of you in this world so shameless?
He has a son with Liu Yifei, but you still think he is older than her.

Wang Quan agreed readily. These girls all have student-like faces. Even though Li Gengxi is already 20 years old, she still can play a high school student without any problem.

The content of his new film has almost been determined, and he needs a lot of high school students.

When they arrived at the dining table, Li Gengxi first introduced Xiang Hanzhi to Wang Quan. She and Zhuang Dafei had met Wang Quan before at Tian Xiwei's place, and had even calculated how long he could last.

The only one Xiang Hanzhi had never seen, but she was the one who admired Wang Quan the most among the three. She usually talked the most, but at this moment she became a lady.

Only Chinese people who grew up in the United States know how great influence Wang Quan has in the United States and how difficult it is to become someone like Wang Quan.

It’s even harder than for a Chinese to become the president of the United States!
"Xiao Xiang and I knew each other first. We met because we watched your movie, Director Quan..." Li Gengxi talked endlessly about how the three sisters got to know each other.

Wang Quan also cooperated by asking questions here and there, and the atmosphere was very good.

Li Gengxi was so excited about the conversation that she even touched her bag. Just as she was about to take out a cigarette from the bag, she suddenly realized that the person sitting in front of her was Wang Quan, so she quickly pulled her hand back.

Afterwards, they also talked about Li Gengxi's "Little Joy" and Zhuang Dafei's recently aired "My Hedgehog Girlfriend".

"I remember you had long hair before, why did you cut it short?" Wang Quan asked Zhuang Dafei.

"Oh, I just got a role in a play where a man travels back in time to be friends with his mother. The role requires it." Zhuang Dafei touched her neat short hair in a dashing manner.

"So, Xiao Li, what are you shooting recently?"

"As for me, I've accepted a role in Director Li Yu's new play, playing the role of Teacher Wan Qian's daughter, but the filming hasn't started yet."

Oh~ Wang Quan suddenly became very interested in her.

Seeing Wang Quan chatting with them so happily, Zhao Jinmai became anxious. He wondered if the heroine he was about to win would be ruined by these three guys!
If that were the case, she would be very unwilling!
It was obviously me who came first!

So she decided to take down Wang Quan’s WeChat after dinner.

However, during the meal, Xiang Hanzhi proposed this idea first.

Then Wang Quan added them all.

After leaving the hotel and returning to the Central Academy of Drama, Zhao Jinmai couldn't sleep at all, especially when Zhang Zifeng sent him a WeChat message asking if he wanted to talk about the new play and even said he wanted to congratulate him.

I felt like she was making fun of me for getting up early and arriving late.

Next, Wang Quan visited many high schools, returned to his hometown Hengzhong for a visit, and visited many high schools in Hebei Province. He gained a deeper understanding of those children who came from ordinary families and tried hard to change their destiny by passing the college entrance examination.

He said he was shooting students, but actually he wanted to shoot the theme of college entrance examination.

When chatting with Zhao Jinmai, she mentioned some illegal operations of Benxi High School, a famous school in Liaoning Province, which were reported in the news, such as top students buying certificates for extra points.

Maybe it can be used in a movie someday, but his purpose is not to expose any shady dealings, but just to portray a group.

To use self-deprecating terms, we can call them - small town test takers~
