You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 711: It is not easy to learn good things, but it is easy to learn bad things. Besides, moving is too tiring!!!

Wang Quan did not rush to reply them. It was not the New Year holiday yet, so he had to film first.

He has been waiting, waiting for snow.

The first snow of 2021 came a little later than usual, but fortunately it came late.

Ren Suxi is also the leading actress of the film and has the hope of competing for Best Actress in the future, so she worked very hard during the filming. Although she did not have her own scenes for most of the entire shooting period, she stayed in the crew the entire time.

She was very grateful, thankful that Wang Quan gave her all the highlights in her roles.

For example, in this scene, it was snowing and it was still dark, and she was maneuvering her wheelchair to borrow money.

Even without a soundtrack, the film moved many staff members to tears, especially the male lead Zhang Xincheng who remained in the crew.

There is another reason why he cried: he was under so much pressure!
His main opponents are Yongmei and Ren Suxi, both of whom have very strong acting skills.

Teacher Yongmei is the type of person who can influence people silently. Her rich and delicate inner drama can be seen from her kind face.

Ren Suxi has a strange look, and she naturally looks like a good actress, and her acting skills are really good. Coupled with her flawed character, she is simply invincible.

Director Quan also changed her lower body into a set of special effects pants covered with photosensitive spots.

In order to fit the role, Ren Suxi has tried very hard to lose weight, but her lower body certainly cannot shrink like the original character, so special effects technology is needed to make this Shandong woman, who is over 1.7 meters tall, appear to be less than 1.5 meters tall.

Today’s technology is very advanced, and Wang Quan’s director’s monitor can show rough special effects, which directly amplifies her sense of sadness several times.

As soon as Zhang Xincheng put himself in the shoes of the sick child, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"Click!" When the scene ended, Wang Quan led the applause.

Ren Suxi also asked, "Do you want to keep one?"

Wang Quan looked at the sun and waved his hand: "This one is enough, get ready to change your makeup."

Next, Ren Suxi changed her makeup and turned herself into a woman in her 40s or 50s, and began to act opposite Zhang Xincheng.

The filming takes place in the countryside during the day, and the crew can only return to the hotel in the county at night.

However, the best hotel in this county is still not in very good condition, worthy of being a national-level poverty-stricken county.

In the room, Li Gengxi, Zhuang Dafei, and Xiang Hanzhi were lying on a bed. Although they had not been filming these days, they were not idle either. They had honed a lot of coordination skills. The three of them were addicted to it and could not extricate themselves.

They were eagerly looking forward to the arrival of night so that they could fight that guy for three hundred rounds.

While waiting, Zhuang Dafei turned on the TV. The drama being broadcast at that time was Noon Sunshine's "Mountains and Seas", which tells the story of rural Ningxia in the 90s.

Li Gengxi said: "This is too fake. The 90s was already more than a decade after the reform and opening up. How could it still be so poor? It feels like the 70s."

Xiang Hanzhi echoed: "That's right, it's a bit of a deliberate pity."

Zhuang Dafei glanced at Douban and said, "Wow, the score has exceeded 9, so impressive! But it is indeed very fake."

Three second-generation rich people born in the 00s began to express their opinions on the suffering presented in the play.

After watching for a while, they changed to "The Story of Yanxi Palace". They thought that brainless ancient romance drama was more suitable for them.

Coincidentally, Pang Bing was also following the drama at home at the moment, and he was watching it with subtitles, enjoying it while doing so.

"International Zhang, you have finally come to this day!"

This drama is an ancient idol drama invested in and starred by Zhang Ziyi. Yes, it is an ancient idol drama.

At the beginning, Zhang Yimou always told the actresses he trained: Don’t film TV series.

At present, only Gong Li adheres to this principle. Later, times changed. Movies are of high quality, but the pay for TV dramas is also really high, so he changed his words and became: If there is a good script, I can still give it a try.

But ancient idol dramas are really not suitable for Zhang Ziyi. The key point is that she is already in her 40s, but the role she played at the beginning was a teenage girl.

Although it is far less unacceptable than the girl played by Liu Xiaoqing, it is also very inconsistent, comparable to Zhou Xun in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

The international star's image, which had finally been restored with "Godzilla 2", was hit hard again.

While Pang Bing was happy, he also reminded himself not to get stuck in the quagmire of ancient idol dramas for the sake of money. Even if he were to film a drama, he would have to film something with depth and good reputation, like "Mountains and Seas".

However, her main focus is still on movies, and she is also preparing to try her hand at directing.

It just so happened that she was invited to the third part of the "Me and My" series, "My Fathers and I", so she decided to be the director of one of the units. During the Chinese New Year, she gathered all the girls in the company together and asked Wang Quan to check them for her.

At Liu Yifei's home, she had just sent her Oscar ballot via the computer after putting her child to sleep.

Not long ago, Ni Ni, with the prestige of being nominated for the Best Actress Oscar, released "Ann Hsuan" in China.

This movie created Li An's best box office record in mainland China and is expected to earn 10 billion yuan before the Spring Festival. Moreover, this movie is in black and white.

Liu Yifei took some time to watch the movie and liked Ni Ni's performance very much. She felt that Ni Ni was indeed more suitable for the role than herself, so she would definitely vote for her good friend.

After finishing all these, she continued to review the information she had collected to improve her understanding of the role. When her baby turned one year old, she would also adjust herself to the best condition and then join the crew to film.

As the Spring Festival is getting closer, the situation of the crew of "Small Town Test-taker" is very good.

However, Wang Quan did not work overtime to finish filming the remaining scenes.

He wanted to wait until the beginning of next spring when everything came back to life before finishing the work.

On February 2th, Wang Quan announced a holiday.

The first thing he did when he returned to the capital was to attend Chaoyue's housewarming celebration.

It was quite lively and they even invited Ma Fanshu to be the host.

Moreover, as soon as Wang Quan entered the room, he was blindfolded and given a test to test his familiarity with the girls and guess who corresponded to whom.

Cheng Xiao and Hu Lianxin are the easiest to guess. One lost because of a big flaw, and the other lost because of being too smooth. Although they lost the game, they won in life.

However, as I was guessing, "Hey, why is there one more person?"

Zhou Ye smiled and said, "Guess~"

Their small group obviously consists of 9 people, and they have always acted as a team of nine people in the past.

Could it be Chenchen?
But soon Wang Quan understood that they had accepted Zhang Jingyi into the group. Zhang Jingyi had been in her own crew for the past few days and didn't even know that she had hooked up with these people.

It's really hard to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things. I didn't expect Zhang Jingyi, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be...

Wang Quan lamented and enjoyed it at the same time.

There are some family arrangements and family gatherings before the New Year, so Nazha and Da Meiyu can only wait until after the New Year to make arrangements.

Moving is really tiring!
At this year's family gathering, although Lao Wang is getting older, he is also more proud. In 2020, Qiankun was the first producer of the annual box office champion "Changjin Lake".

Now, at the beginning of the year, there are two hit TV series. One is "Mountains and Seas" produced by Noon Sunshine under Qiankun, and the other is "Awakening Age" produced by Qiankun itself. Although the two dramas are a bit off the main theme, ordinary audiences also love to watch them, and the word of mouth starts at 9 points.

"The most important thing is that I have a new fat grandson!" He hugged Xiao Bayi and smiled from ear to ear.

Wang Quan advised him to take it easy. The boy was only half a year old, but he already weighed 22 kilograms and was 74 cm tall. He didn't look like he was born by Liu Yifei, but more like he was born by Zhang Zilin.

Wang Quan was a little scared, wondering if he would be as tall as Yao Ming when he grew up.

He doesn't want his son to play basketball in the future, and of course, not football, absolutely not!

On February 2, the third day of the Chinese New Year, Wang Quan has been busy these days.

During the New Year's Eve, many female stars from the Mi world went to Yang Mi to pay New Year's greetings and made advances with her brother-in-law in front of her, their boss.

The second grade beauty brings together a group of young women such as Wan Qian, Jiang Jiang, and Jingchu.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, of course, the three beauties from Xinjiang, led by Nazha, will be the guests.

Wang Quan looked at Yaya, the new host of the Spring Festival Gala, and thought, wow, she has some of that temperament.

As expected, fame brings prosperity. Last year, she won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress for her role as Gu Jia in Only Thirty.

She only hated herself for not taking this shortcut earlier.

Moreover, seeing that Chen Sicheng, who once pursued her, had lost all his underwear during the Spring Festival, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she didn't follow him, otherwise she would be the one who would be worried and losing her hair now.

The 2021 Spring Festival movie season has entered its third day, and the quality of each film has basically been determined, and Maoyan's total box office forecast has also basically stabilized.

Just like "Detective Chinatown 3" in the original time and space became a foil to "Hi, Mom", in this life Chen Sicheng once again became a stepping stone for Jia Ling to rise.

And lost even more miserably.

Although the original "Detective Chinatown 3" lost, it at least had a box office of more than 40 billion yuan. It's a pity that the good situation of billion yuan in a single day at the beginning was lost.

But in this life, as Chen Sicheng's first directorial work after the "Detective Chinatown" series, it is also the first time that his own company Yitong Pictures has served as the first producer, and it is also the first time that there is no Wang Dao lying on him to suck blood.

In addition, with the support of big-name stars such as Huang Bo, Rong Zishan, and Yao Dazui, the box office on the first day was only over 200 million.

This is not bad, at least it is a little higher than the first day of "Take Her Eyes" and "Assassination of Novelist".

He was a little dissatisfied that "Hi, Mom" ​​won the single-day box office championship with 3.5 million yuan on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It's not like he hasn't seen this movie. The main selling point, Shen Teng, actually has less screen time than the second male lead, Chen Chichi, and appears relatively late, but he has box office appeal, and he also contributed several major laughs in the film.

Moreover, the quality of this movie is really not satisfactory. The plot is loose, the jokes are average, there is no camera language, and there is no cinematic feel at all.

The highlight of the final plot twist was "borrowed" from the Korean movie "Love Like a Baby". Just this made the uninformed mainland audiences laugh and cry, and the film sold 3 million on the first day.

He was expecting that "Hi, Mom" ​​would be spurned by the audience in a few days.

As a result, Douban scored over 8 points, broke million the next day, and million on the third day, and started to rise steadily.

However, his own sci-fi comedy film "Mozart from Outer Space", which was aimed at entertaining the whole family, suffered a critical disastrous defeat, with only over 100 million yuan left the next day, falling behind "Her Eyes" and "Assassination of Novelist".

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it was less than 100 million, even losing to "Boonie Bears"!

People are saying that "Boonie Bears" is a watershed in the quality of films released during the Spring Festival, and that anything below "Boonie Bears" is just bad film that is not worth watching.

In response to this, "The Crowd" has something to say: Our reputation is still very good, but I didn't expect Hong Kong stars to be so unreliable at the box office now! And it's so expensive!
Maoyan's forecast for "Mozart" has also been declining from the initial 20 billion to just over 5 million now. Chen Sicheng not only lost his investment, but also hurt Huang Bo badly.

He has been in an adjustment period in the past two years and has produced few works. He did not expect to encounter such a scumbag. He feels that he is the last one among the six middle-aged generations.

However, "Hi, Mom" ​​unexpectedly became more and more powerful, reaching its peak on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, exceeding 600 million in a single day!

Maoyan predicts that the revenue has been increasing from the initial billions to the current 50 billion+!

Yang Mi felt happy and sad when she saw it.

The good news is that "Hi, Mom" ​​is a movie produced by the company itself and because the investment is not large, it can almost be said to be wholly owned, with only Big Bowl Entertainment having a small share.

Maybe this year's annual box office champion will go to Mi Shi, who will make tens of billions!

I really have a good eye for talent. I feel that it’s time for one of the top six YYDS to have a seat!

The sad thing is, as a female director who also directed and acted in her debut film, I am only half as good as Jia Ling, which is too big a gap!

Obviously, I have a better reputation!
The only way she could comfort herself was that her weight was only half of Jia Ling's, slightly.

~
Now the only film that can compete with "Hi, Mom" ​​is Yu Feihong's "Take Her Eyes", produced by Qiankun & Wang Dao. It ranked fourth on the first day and has now counterattacked to second place, surpassing Wang Dao's own "Assassination of Novelist". The total box office is expected to be more than 20 billion.

Sister Fei Hong once again tasted the taste of box office success after her previous film had high reputation but low box office. Her "So Young" once won the championship in the history of Chinese-language films.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Quan went to her house to congratulate her and also called her heroine Chen Duling.

The first half of this movie is like a sightseeing film, with extremely magnificent shots, while the second half is a disaster survival film. After being expanded from a short story, the story is still very solid and interesting.

After this collaboration, Deng Chao felt that this type of light industrial science fiction film was also a viable option, and that there was really no need for him to stick to sports films.

Moreover, table tennis always wins, so there is no suspense. It is better to play against the Chinese national football team. You can never guess whether they will lose two or three goals or seven or eight goals. It is full of suspense!

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Quan did not rush to return to work. Instead, he was invited to Los Angeles to attend the Oscars.

He wanted to witness Ni Ni winning the Best Actress award in person, but he didn't. Instead, he witnessed Song Dandan's stepdaughter becoming the second Chinese director after him to win the Best Director and Best Picture awards.

Even a gentle man like Li An couldn't help but lose his temper afterwards, feeling that his life had lost its meaning.

Disney seemed to have seen a treasure, and quickly signed this female version of King David, and gave her the direction of Marvel's very important follow-up "Eternals"~
