You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 113 "Juno" is finished, "Red Mansion" audition, people from Tokyo (2, Mimi sixth-class star plus update)

There is only more than a month left before the release of "Escape Room" in North America. Except for the earliest fixed-file trailer with no real content, the movie has not yet released a plot trailer. Dorothy has been waiting for the room game to become a prairie fire Potential.

Now she is waiting!

In the beginning, it was very difficult for the distribution team of Dragon Rise to advance. Even though September is the traditional off-season period, none of the films in the same period can be hit in terms of sales. It is not as good as "Escape Room", but theaters will still give priority to it. Reserve more theater resources for the six major distribution films.

And Dorothy is not willing to take the route of small-scale release of those literary films and then expand the theater. I am a serious commercial film, and I only eat the box office of the previous two weeks, and it is impossible to follow the route of word-of-mouth. Start with firepower.

So when she first got in touch with the major theaters, Dorothy only got the opening scale of 800 theaters from the theaters, and most of the theaters still wanted to wait and see.

Dorothy was naturally dissatisfied. You must know that "No. 3000 Cloverfield Road" has nearly [-] museums opened.

Later, the accounts of Jiaduo and others on youtube became popular. As the new protagonists, she and Wang Keying had a group of fans before the movie was released. In addition, the word-of-mouth of the movie's trial screenings was released, with an upper-middle level, and the previous work of King Quan is also guaranteed. , Dorothy then talked about the scale of opening paintings to 1200 pavilions.

But even so, she still couldn't meet her requirements, and even one of the top ten theaters in North America didn't want to talk to her at all, and her attitude was quite perfunctory.

"What about now, what about that theater?" Wang Quan asked.

"They said they were sorry, but the temporary worker who connected with us was fired." Dorothy laughed wildly.

Why is this set of rhetoric so familiar?

Dorothy continued, "Trust me, I am sure to get the opening scale of 3000 halls!"

"Oh? You're better than Paramount?"

Dorothy, "Please, can the September and June schedules be compared? Who was the opponent of "No. [-] Cloverfield Road" at that time, and then look at the opponent of "Escape Room". It can be said that someone who can fight nothing."

The reason why Dorothy chose the coldest September in the whole year was to reduce the resistance brought by her peers. There are no movies that can make money for the theater in the same period. You should release my movie, right? The movie theater was empty anyway.

It turned out that she really thought too much. The confidence that the six majors can bring to the theaters is not comparable to that of a little Karami like her. Even if she chooses the wrong film for the six majors, they will continue to provide more and better ones in the future. Movies, choose you, maybe you will go out of business after making one.

Dorothy told Wang Quan, "Now I have obtained the opening scale of 2000 halls, and today I will release the first plot trailer on Youtube. With this quasi-blockbuster temperament, it is absolutely second to the competitors of the same period. The next one is more In November, our publicity will hit our audience overwhelmingly, I will put up a dragon-headed sign even if this movie does not make money!"

You still have to make money, and I'm still waiting to share the profits.

Dorothy continued, "By the way, I have already negotiated with the Toronto Film Festival. The premiere of "Escape Room" will be held there, about a week before the release."

The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the most important film festivals in North America. It is held in Toronto in early September every year. It mainly shows new films and is an important film trading market in the world.

In addition to seeing if there are any foreign films worth buying, Dorothy also wants to get in touch with foreign film producers to prepare for the future global layout.

Wang Quan asked, "Is the global release of "Escape Room" confirmed? Share or buyout."

Dorothy, "I still want to buy out and get the money in advance, so as to provide blood transfusion for the next "Twilight Saga". It should be completely settled in August."

Wang Quan thought for a while, "I'll write another script later, a low-budget horror film with a budget of around 100 million, I'm sure I don't have time to shoot it, you find someone to make it to fill the time slot before the release of "Twilight" There is a vacancy, the box office of literary and artistic films is very metaphysical, and it is safer to keep the income of horror films in drought and flood.”

"Director Wang, you've worked hard, let's work hard together!"

Time has entered August, and Gadot also ended his trip to China.

After she left the capital, Zong Fuli took her to Chang'an to see the terracotta warriors and horses, to ride a horse on the prairie, to see giant pandas in Chengdu, to see the sea of ​​clouds in Huangshan, and to see the landscape in Guilin.

I can't finish it, I can't finish it at all, Sister Zong has given up her life to accompany the gentleman, and she has lost a few catties after playing for a month.

Fortunately, Jiaduo still planned to go back to Israel to see his parents, so he stopped his trip to China.

Zong Fuli said that next time, let your director Wang accompany you.

But at this time, Director Wang was accompanying another woman.

Wang Quan discovered that Vancouver also opened an escape room game store, but it had nothing to do with Boss Hussein Hou, and it was opened in an imitation of his model.

On the weekend, he took Lily and Amanda to play once, and it was opened by a Chinese. Wang Quan chatted with the boss, and he said that young people in the United States like to play this game, so he followed his model and opened it. Sure enough Very good money.

Then the boss stared at Lily and raised an eyebrow at Wang Quan, "Brother, it's okay, you've grown your stomach at such a young age."

Wang Quan was very helpless and asked her not to wear a fake belly, but she refused, saying that she was afraid of losing her state, and she looked at least seven or eight months old now.

Wang Quan smiled wryly, and looked at the two girls, "The eldest will be born next month, and the second will also be born next year."

boss:"……"

The boss was shocked, Ma De, I felt that I would make my ancestors look good by adopting a black mistress, buddy, you can directly control two white girls at the same time, you are a role model for me!

"Don't say anything, today's bill is mine, it's free!"

"Boss atmosphere!"

While playing, Lily has been observing King Quan and Amanda, trying to detect adultery from their performance.

Everyone in the crew could see it, but Lily only felt it recently. It can't be said that she is slow, but that she has been focusing on nothing else during the time on the crew.

But no matter how focused she was, Lily finally realized that something was wrong with the frequency of the two of them at night.

At this time, Lily stood behind the two of them and found that Amanda's hand was touching Wang Quan's thigh!
Hmph, you don't avoid me anymore, do you?

In the beginning, Lily was just doing foreign work, taking pleasure in observing the small movements of the man and woman in front of her, and reading their expressions, and she did not work hard until she suddenly covered her stomach with a painful expression.

King Quan first found out, "Juno, what's wrong with you?"

Amanda, "Juno, are you okay!"

Lily was sweating, "I, am I going to give birth?"

Wang Quan was taken aback, this child is too involved in the play, he patted the girl's face, "Don't be stupid, you are not really pregnant."

Lily woke up like a dream, "Oh, I seem to have a stomachache. The ice cream in the morning is too cold. Hurry up, hurry up and unlock the secret room! I have to go to the bathroom!"

Wang Quan, "Who told you not to help in the first place."

Lily said anxiously, "If you can't solve any problem, tell me quickly!"

Lily is indeed a good student who will be admitted to USC in the future, and high school students are at the time when they have the most comprehensive knowledge. With her help, the three of them passed the customs smoothly, and Lily hurried out to find the toilet.

However, when she was squatting on the toilet to enjoy herself, she suddenly heard a strange voice in the next cubicle. This voice sounded like Amanda, and she also had royal power!
Then she felt that the adjacent grid baffles began to vibrate, too much shit, too much shit!
In mid-August, with a cry, a baby boy appeared in the hands of the obstetrician, and Juno finally gave birth!

This scene of King Quan took a full day to shoot, and Lily was tossed to death.

The previous scenes of Wang Quan largely retained the relaxed atmosphere of the original comedy, and even surpassed the arrangement of the jokes. However, Wang Quan did not intend to be soft in the childbirth scene. Giving birth to a baby at the age of 16 is not enough to give some hardships and lessons. Too much.

Julie in Los Angeles is due to give birth next month. Lily can't get experience in this area from her girlfriends. Fortunately, she found a few families in the hospital who are willing to let Lily watch the childbirth for money.

Two of them had a very difficult life, probably the effect that Wang Quan wanted.

On the premise of summarizing these experiences, Lily was still filmed by Wang Quan for a whole day. Later, she suddenly realized that the pregnant woman she watched had given birth for a day, and she had also been filming for a day. Director Wang just wanted to see her exhausted. Do your best!

After a tiring day, fortunately, the final effect is very good.

The last scene shot is when Juno was admitted to college, and finally parted ways with the child's father, Brick, and went on the road easily.

"Okay, it's done!"

When Wang Quan designed the role of Brick, he made him cowardly, but not indifferent, and responsible, but he didn't have so much responsibility, he was just a child who didn't grow up, and lacked some charisma, so for Juno's final choice, Although the crew members are sorry, they can all accept it.

It was Andrew Garfield who was a little dissatisfied, and told King Quan that if he encountered such a thing, he would definitely be able to walk with Juno like a man.

Wang Quan patted the young man on the shoulder, "Okay, let's work together again when we have a chance, and I will definitely give you a role to play."

This is what Garfield wanted. Ms. Jodie Foster praised Director Wang greatly, saying that he has a promising future. If he can become the muse of such a great director, he might be able to win an Oscar in the future. Woolen cloth.

At this time, Judy, Amanda, and Simmons had already left the crew. Wang Quan, Lily, Garfield, and Ma Ling were the last batch of crew members.

Last night, Wang Quan finally couldn't hold back and called Ma Ling to his crew to discuss the shooting of the last scene.

Ma Ling snorted, "Isn't it because Amanda has left and has nowhere to vent her energy? It was agreed in advance that I will only help temporarily, and it will still be the same when I go back."

Finally landed, and returned to the familiar yet unfamiliar Los Angeles, Wang Quan hardly rested, and began the post-production work of the film.

And when he just made the first cut version of the movie, without adding soundtrack or grading, someone from Tokyo came.

Wang Quan expressed his desire to bring new works to the East Film Festival through his relationship with Beidian Shimen, and the East Film Festival naturally welcomes this.

Although Wang Quan is not famous for literary films, "No. [-] Cloverfield Road" has caused a lot of noise in North America. Wang Quan, a college student who turned out to be a director, has even heard of Neon filmmakers. of.

What's more, the lineup of this movie is quite luxurious. Jodie Foster, Naomi Watts, Christian Bale, and J.K. Simmons are basically familiar faces familiar to neon audiences.

It is impossible for the East Film Festival to turn a blind eye to such a movie, and even as long as it is not too ugly, it will basically add it to the list of the main competition unit.

But the procedure still needs to go through. It happened that Yoshihito Yatabe, the chairman of the film selection committee of the East Film Festival, was in Los Angeles. He heard on the news that "Juno" had finished filming, so he got in touch with Wang Quan and came to see the film.

This time Yoshihiko Yatabe came to the United States for two main purposes, "Juno" and "Little Miss Sunshine".

"Little Miss Sunshine" was a small-budget film bought by Fox Searchlight for 1050 million dollars at the Sundance Film Festival last year, and was later overwhelmed by "Ten Cloverfield Drive" for 2000 million dollars, which stole a lot of discussions Spend.

Last month, "Little Miss Sunshine" was released in North America, and now it has been released for one month, with a cumulative box office of 1000 million dollars.

Don’t think it was a failure at the box office. It was actually quite successful. Searchlight Pictures followed the normal release strategy of literary films. It was only shown in seven theaters at the beginning, with a good reputation and high attendance. Then it expanded to 58 cinemas, expanded to 153 cinemas in the third week, until this week’s large-scale expansion to 691 cinemas, still able to get a single box office of 3000 yuan, and the scale of screenings will definitely expand in the future.

Yatabe Yoshihiko had already seen the film and persuaded the film studio to take the film to the East Film Festival for the main competition.

Although the East Film Festival is also an A-category film festival, A is not classified as ABCD. It just means that it is a competitive non-specialized film festival. In terms of influence, it is far behind the three major European film festivals. There are strict requirements for the premiere at the East Film Festival.

In fact, only Cannes has extremely high requirements for the world premiere. If you want to participate in the main competition unit, you must give me face as the first brother of the film festival.

So Dorothy thought that if there was enough time, "Juno" could be shown in Venice at the end of the month, and the influence of Dongying, the three major European competitions, would be much greater.

Wang Quan was dressed formally at home and was about to watch a movie with visitors from Tokyo when Yang Mi rushed out of the bedroom.

"Brother Quan, something serious happened!"

"What's wrong?"

"Pluto has been expelled from the nine planets!"

Wang Quan, "Do you have business to do?"

"Well, to be serious with you, the company is urging me to go back."

Wang Quan, "What's the matter, I want to ask you to film a movie?"

"It's not filming. Do you know "Dream of Red Mansions"? Well, you should know that Red Mansions is going to be re-filmed now. I heard that Beijing and Taiwan are going to hold an audition for "Dream of Red Mansions". Mr. Li wants me to go back to participate and strive to act What about Xue Baochai?"

Wang Quan asked, "Then you come back?"

"Of course not."

"Yo, Xue Baochai isn't acting?"

"The director chose Hu Mei, not director Li Shaohong. I can play whoever I want~"

Wang Quan thought to himself, even if Director Li is appointed, at most you will be destined to act as a maid~
(You always say that I only release one movie in chapter 100, so if I release two movies in chapter 120 and three movies in chapter 130, how should you deal with it~ Director Wang’s filming is fast, and it’s normal that the release speed can’t keep up , now they are all crowded together, September and October two screenings! Please ask for a monthly ticket! There is another update!)
