You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 712: "Wolf Warrior 3" starts, and the brother who is in prison appears...

After returning to China, the weather became warmer and Wang Quan continued to shoot his works. He returned to Beijing on March 20th to participate in the third Golden Bamboo Award.

In fact, even if I don’t participate, the Golden Bamboo Awards is still a grand event in the Chinese-language film industry.

The selection results of the Golden Rooster Awards are always unsatisfactory.

As for the Golden Horse Awards, no one pays attention to them anymore. Even if one inquires privately, one will find that the nominated works and actors are very unfamiliar. Without the support of mainland filmmakers, it has become a local entertainment just like the Academy Awards.

However, Taiwanese films really want to make a name for themselves through the Golden Bamboo Awards. Last year's Golden Horse Best Picture "The Lost Valentine" was released in mainland theaters, but the box office was only a few million and the reputation was mediocre.

The audience was surprised. It actually won multiple awards including the Golden Horse Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. You must be really hungry for the Golden Horse Awards.

Although it was eligible for the Golden Bamboo Awards, the film ultimately did not receive a single nomination.

After all, there are too many popular works in the mainland every year, so it really can't stand out.

But this does not mean that the Golden Bamboo Awards exclude Chinese-language films from other regions.

"Raging Fire" directed by Benny Chan received multiple nominations, and Nicholas Tse was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Qiu Gangao.

However, this result also caused dissatisfaction among Nicholas Tse, who stated that he was the male lead and would never accept the nomination for supporting male lead.

The producer Golden Harvest is doing this for his own good. If they send him the Best Actor award, he won't even be nominated in 80% chance, let alone win an award.

It’s a pity that director Benny Chan passed away due to nasopharyngeal cancer in August last year and was unable to see his last work released.

In addition, the inspirational Hong Kong film "Mom's Magic Boy" was also nominated for multiple awards.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the number of judges for the Golden Bamboo Awards has expanded to 2000, and many judges from Hong Kong have been selected. The number of judges from Taiwan is lower than that from Hong Kong, and the largest number is from the mainland. In particular, the newly joined judges are basically of the new generation, with trendy ideas and are unpredictable.

Wang Quan's own "Lily" is also a big nominee, including Best Picture, Best Director, two Best Actresses, Best Supporting Actress He Sefei, etc., but he does not think he is the biggest favorite. Instead, he is more optimistic about "Su Dongpo", which director Wang Jing has been working on for five years and showcases the ultimate oriental aesthetics.

This day was also the first appearance of Concubine Liu Yi after giving birth. Wang Quan brought her and Ni Ni, who had just returned from the Oscars with a defeat but still won honor.

She lost to "Mrs. Coen" Frances McDormand, who had previously won the Best Actress award twice for "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" and "Fargo", and this time it was her third award.

And Xixi has lost a lot of weight. She has been so busy preparing for a new film that she can't even eat.

It just so happened that the baby also started to eat complementary foods, and he seemed to like complementary foods more, so I let him combine complementary foods with milk powder, and Xixi was completely liberated.

It’s just that Wang Quan was a little unhappy, he didn’t even eat a few bites.

In addition, the two sisters Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao were also here. They have been very popular recently and were both nominated for Best Newcomer.

Fan Bingbing was nominated for the Best Actress without any suspense for her role in "She Killed". The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards may take into account the impact of the prototype event of this movie, but the Golden Bamboo Awards do not have this concern. They only consider whether the performance is good enough and the influence is great enough.

The red carpet with Pang Bing is always very lively and worth seeing.

What she thought was that no matter whether she could win the award in the end, she had to shine on the red carpet.

This time she was dressed like a queen, with stunning beauty and full of aura. Her younger brother Chengcheng decisively refused to walk the red carpet with her. He was like a prince who had not grown up next to his sister, they were even a generation younger than each other.

It's not easy for Pang Bing to win the Best Actress award, but Liu Yifei and Ni Ni won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for "Lily".

Gong Li from "The Three-Body Problem 1" also looked determined to win. This movie had a box office of over 30 billion yuan and its influence spread all over the world.

Xin Zhilei also performed very well in "Mulan Returns", and she was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "She Killed".

So in the competition for the Best Actress, there appeared three Mou girls (Gong Li, Ni Ni, Xin Zhilei), as well as three Quan girls (Liu Yifei, Ni Ni, Fan Bingbing).

Wang Quan and Zhang Yimou, the two best directors of the previous two Golden Bamboo Awards, will also compete with Da Peng, Wang Jing and Wangma Caidan for the Best Director Award.

Although Wang Quan has come, he sincerely hopes that he and Zhang Yimou have not won the award, and that other directors will take over the mantle to avoid a monopoly.

But he would not do anything to interfere, at most he would just engage in passive competition.

As a result, neither he nor Zhang Yimou won the Best Director award at this year's Golden Bamboo Awards.

However, the award is still dominated by one company.

Zhang Zilin: "Best Costume Design Award, Su Dongpo, congratulations!"

Jing Tian: "Best Art Design Award, "Su Dongpo", congratulations!"

"Best Supporting Actor, Yu Hewei for 'Su Dongpo', congratulations!" Chen Duling handed the trophy to Yu Hewei, who played Wang Anshi, who was both an enemy and a friend of Su Dongpo.

Next up, Best Actor Xin Boqing for "Su Dongpo"!
Best Director, Wang Jing for "Su Dongpo"!
Best Film - again "Su Dongpo"!
The costume biographical film "Su Dongpo" won three of the four most important awards!

In addition to the three small awards, "Su Dongpo" received six awards tonight! It was the best of the night!

Although it is not as good as the ten awards won by "Xiao Yao You 3" last year, the box office of "Su Dongpo" is less than one twentieth of "Xiao Yao You 3"!

In terms of influence, it can be said that it is far inferior to "Escape Plan 3", which is a perfect combination of business and art, but it has won the respect of all Chinese-language filmmakers.

After "The Ming Robbery", Wang actually spent five years following Su Dongpo's route of exile, traveling around the country, polishing the script, and perfecting his classical aesthetics. This resulted in "Su Dongpo", a work that did not have a big box office hit but is of profound significance.

Wang Quan once said when the movie was released that the film industry needs more teachers like Wang Jing.

From "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" to "The Ming Dynasty Robbery" and then to "Su Dongpo", every step he took was very solid.

Wang Quan was sincerely happy for him.

As for the Best Actress, one of the four major awards, Pang Bing also defeated four strong opponents to become the third Golden Bamboo Film Queen after Zhang Jingchu and Li Bingbing.

Wang Quan can put the three of them together!

Da Mimi’s trip was not in vain, as she won the Best New Director Award.

And Fan Chengcheng did not embarrass her sister and won the Best Newcomer award for the hit "Changjin Lake".

However, there are only four nominees for both awards this year. It seems that there are not many outstanding newcomers, both actors and directors.

In addition, Chen Musheng's posthumous work "Raging Fire" won the Best Action Design Award.

The greenhouse transformation work "Mulan Returns Home" won the Best Original Screenplay Award.

"The Three-Body Problem 1" won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award.

Wang Quan's "Lily" also won three awards: Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Supporting Actress for teacher Jose Fei.

After the award ceremony, Wang Quan asked Liu Yifei softly, "I've made an appointment with Pang Bing to celebrate with her later. Mimi and Ni Ni will also go. Do you want to come with us? Just the five of us."

Of course Liu Yifei knew what he meant. Since giving birth to her child, she has never tried that crazy thing again.

Facing Wang Quan's invitation, she said proudly, "I'll go if I want to. I mainly want to see Pang Bing's Best Actress trophy." In fact, what she was thinking was: maybe I can even have a second child. Wouldn't it be great to have two children in three years?

Naza: Forget it!
Da Meiyuan: Give me a chance to live!
Concubine Liu Yi was very glad that she did not marry Wang Quan.

If she were married, she would definitely feel awkward doing something like this which is obviously very happy. But now it is much better.

And not long after that, she received the news that Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng were divorced. How old was their child? They were getting divorced already?

Sure enough, as long as you don’t get married, you will never get divorced. Chen Kexin and Wu Junru’s ideas are more advanced.

Since "Cold Front" in the 14 Spring Festival and "The Force Awakens" in the Lunar New Year, Wang Quan's movies have never been in popular schedules. They are either in March or September, or "Happy Journey" in November for three consecutive years.

This move has greatly helped boost the overall domestic box office. After all, there is no shortage of blockbusters during the popular seasons, and Wang Quan has also boosted the box office during the cold seasons, which naturally led to an overall increase.

"Small Town Test-Taker" is Wang Quan's return to the popular schedule after many years.

This time he is targeting the summer season, scheduled for early July.

The film was wrapped in April, and a large part of the post-production work had already been completed during the filming, including the soundtrack, which was basically completed even before filming, so there was enough time.

The film targets students as its target audience, so summer vacation is a good choice.

The reason why it was not scheduled for around the college entrance examination in June is because we take into account that candidates for the college entrance examination will not be in the mood to watch a movie about the exam. But after a month, when the results are out and the applications are filled out, they might want to watch the film's description of college.

In the following time, Wang Quan worked on post-production while enjoying life.

Of course, this includes sex life.

Several newcomers wanted to show themselves. In order to be closer to Wang Quan, Xiang Hanzhi also chose to sign with Mi Shi. After all, Mi Shi was the only one of the Wangdao entertainment companies located in Wangdao Building.

Xiang Hanzhi: I mainly like the corporate culture of Mishi~
Although Zhang Jingyi is still in Dongshen Future, after asking Wang Quan for instructions, she told her boss Chen Kun about her relationship with him. From then on, Brother Kun's attitude towards her changed, and she also gained more autonomy and share in the company.

Zhao Jinmai is just average. After all, the culture of the 18th century is full of the king’s wives, and she can’t stand out at all.

However, she also received support from the Wangdao system because of this. Her next drama was signed with Noon Sunshine, a web drama "The Beginning", which started filming before "The Wandering Earth 2".

The director is "Suan", the son-in-law of Noon Sunshine's top director Kong Sheng, and also Wang Quan's junior at Beijing Film Academy. Although he is in the animation department, he often attends classes in the directing department, and his directing contract is also signed with Wang Dao.

"Live streaming sales is so popular now. My sister also wants to do it." Zhang Ruonan was talking to Wang Quan about family matters while panting. The exercise just now was a bit intense.

Although she has settled in the capital, home is still home after all.

"Second sister or youngest sister?"

"Younger sister, my second sister is good at studying and is in college. My younger sister is about to get married, but she also wants to pursue a career."

Zhang Ruonan just happened to bring up her younger sister's relationship problems. Worried that Wang Quan might suspect she was hinting at something, she quickly changed the subject, "Li Sisi's live broadcast is very popular right now. Every time you watch it, there are hundreds of thousands of people online. I heard that she makes tens of millions every year."

Not to mention ordinary people, even big stars were jealous after hearing this. Countless stars who felt that their star prospects were bleak switched to live streaming to sell goods.

Wang Quan: "After all, there is traffic support. If your sister wants to do it, she can only be deeply bound to you. However, your fans' spending power is relatively low, so you have to be mentally prepared for this."

Zhang Ruonan pouts her lips, and when she first debuted she marketed herself as a first love face, but ended up attracting only male fans who only looked at her and did not make any purchases. In the consumer market, she is considered a low-quality fan, so her ability to bring in goods is very poor, and the brands that find her to endorse are all very mediocre.

The company doesn’t have any good solution in this regard. It can only recommend more good dramas to her to help her increase her popularity.

Wang Quan touched her head, opened Douyin, and saw a live broadcast. The person broadcasting the live broadcast was a short teacher named Pan, who was trying earnestly to persuade Xie Mengwei, who was famous for playing the role of Gazi, not to indulge in live streaming to sell goods.

"The water here is too deep, you can't control it."

Zhang Ruonan came over to listen to some of his comments and nodded: "In terms of awareness, we still have to look to the old artists."

But it didn't take long.

"My dear friends, this is a batch of good wine that I bought from Maotai Distillery through my connections. It doesn't cost 998 or 698, but only yuan! My dear friends..."

When he saw this scene, Wang Quan quickly took a screenshot and sent it to Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan replied with an emoticon that read "I ate a lot of it". It turns out that promoting products can make people crazy.

After that, Gazi no longer called him Teacher Pan, but simply called him Pan Zi. From then on, a new idiom "Pan Ga Zhi Jiao" was added to the world.

May 5nd is Nazha’s birthday, and Wang Quan must spend the whole day with her.

In a few days she will join the crew to shoot the new film "Fishing Operation" for the Olympic bid. This is just a tentative title. Wang Quan thinks "All or Nothing" is better.

The film is about telecommunications fraud. It is a very meaningful film and was created by Shen Ao based on the experience of people around him being cheated.

Since "Huugjilt" was banned, Shen Ao filmed a web drama and produced a movie in the two years. Although it is not as good as the two 9-point dramas "The Bad Kids" and "The Silent Truth", it is also above 8 points. He finally regained some confidence, but he still wants to work on realistic themes.

This time, they invited two top stars, Zhang Yixing and Nazha, and they also have some box office plans.

Nowadays, with the popularity of mobile payments, the phenomenon of carrying cash is becoming less and less common.

This has resulted in a rapid decrease in cases of theft and robbery. There is no way around it. They can neither steal nor rob. Both industries have been almost killed by the Internet.

However, the convenience of mobile payment has also indirectly reduced the difficulty of telecommunications fraud. Money is gone with just the movement of a finger, and it is difficult to get it back.

After Wu Jing finished filming "My Fathers and Me" and returned to Beijing from the crew, Wang Quan called him and talked to him about the situation of "Wolf Warrior 3".

"What do you think of sending Leng Feng to Southeast Asia to wipe out telecom fraud dens?!"

"Ah?" Wu was stunned. "In the last movie, I fought as a mercenary in Africa and became an enemy of a country. The third movie will definitely be upgraded. Fighting a group of scammers, isn't it a bit low?"

Wang Quan shook his head: "You think you are facing a group of liars, but maybe you are facing the will of one or even several countries!"

"Oh?" Wu Jing pretended to listen.

Then Wang Quan told Wu Jing about the preliminary research for the Olympic bid, letting him know why telecommunications fraud is so difficult to eliminate and that the waters behind it are very deep and most people cannot grasp it.

"Nowadays, those who engage in electronic fraud in Southeast Asia make more money than those who engage in drug trafficking. They not only seek money, but sometimes also kill people. It is also closely related to the smuggling of human organs. How many Chinese people have lost their families because of this..."

Although "All or Nothing" is very meaningful, it is still not very watchable. Most importantly, the sense of satisfaction at the end is also not enough. The film was rescued in a desperate manner only with the help of the national team.

But how cool it would be if there was a Wolf Warrior like Leng Feng, or even a team of Wolf Warriors that could wipe out northern Myanmar!
Of course, relying solely on YY is not enough. This year, Wang Quan plans to propose a proposal regarding overseas telecom fraud and push the country to take action.

"When the time comes, the national action will be carried out simultaneously with your Wolf Warrior 3, and it will be released directly when the results of the battle are announced. Just imagine the grand occasion at that time~"

At this moment, there was light in Wu Jing's eyes. When it comes to clever ideas, Director Quan has to be the one!
When the two were chatting about the specific implementation and plot arrangement of the project, a piece of news quickly occupied the headlines.

Xiao Wu, one of the four returning students, was set off by his ex-girlfriend Xiao Zhu...
