You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 144 The genius director has fallen?Hollywood no longer favors ? (3, 20 words plus more)
(In the previous chapter, 11 was changed to 8~)

"Are you sure the decimal point is not wrong? Is it missing two digits?" Zhang Weiping asked, the two previous films of Wang Quan seemed to be around 800 million on the first day. Did this big-chested and brainless secretary regard million as W (million) ) bar.

"No, boss, more than 8 knives, that's all."

Then Zhang Weiping smiled, very happily.

Zhang Weiping is so concerned about the release of "Juno" because "Curse of the Golden Flower" will be released simultaneously in North America, China and other countries next week, which is considered to be at the same time as "Juno".

He is very worried that Zhang Yimou will follow in the footsteps of Chen Kaige's "The Promise" and be crushed by a young man. It will become an international joke, and it is estimated that it will affect the domestic box office.

Now it seems that the royal power that does not make commercial films is nothing to fear. Even if Zhang Yimou's costume blockbusters are going from bad to worse in North America, and the appeal is not as good as one, but it should not lose to a literary film, only 8 box office, which is ridiculous. ridiculous.

Like Zhang Weiping, the big and small kings of Huayi Brothers are also concerned about the box office of "Juno".

On this day, Wang Zhonglei walked into his brother's office excitedly, walked to the window, and looked at the office building opposite, Qiankun Pictures was inside.

"Brother, the movie King Quan is released, how much box office do you think it is?"

"Literary and artistic films take a long-term path. They didn't explode very quickly at the beginning. Let's take a little guesswork. It's 100 million box office." Wang Zhongjun said.

"Then you're flattering that boy, King Quan. It's not even one-tenth of it, only 800!" Wang Zhonglei's tone was as happy as if he had won [-] million.

Wang Zhongjun said calmly, "It should be because the distribution scale is relatively small."

"That's right, there are only seven movie theaters in the United States showing this movie."

Wang Zhongjun became interested, "Oh, so few? It's a bit unexpected."

Wang Zhonglei smiled and said, "What does this mean? It means that he is not good at making literary films. He was so hyped before that he swept the East Film Festival. The East Film Festival is nothing. If he had spent a little money, "Kekexili" would probably have swept the East." film festival."

"It's a new director, and it's a new company, so the appeal is still not enough," Wang Zhongjun smiled, "It's a pity that Director Feng went to the Northeast to shoot "Assembly", otherwise he would be very happy to hear it."

Wang Zhonglei chuckled, "The news from him is late, so he definitely doesn't know. Let me report the good news to him."

He immediately made a phone call. Feng Xiaogang had just finished work, and when he heard the news, he was so happy that his teeth would fly.

Although he and Wang Quan had no grudges in the past and no grudges in the present, he was very happy when he thought of Wang Qiankun's situation where he had to go around seeing himself because of his son's film failure.

Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao glanced at him, thinking what's the matter? Meicheng is like this, she has been out filming for three months, and her sister-in-law is pregnant?

At this time, producer Chen Guofu came over, Feng Xiaogang hurriedly called him, "Old Chen, come here, Mr. Wang's phone number, come and listen to it."

Chen Guofu always said that if "Juno" can win an award this time, or even be shortlisted for several Oscar awards, this director Xiao Wang will become famous.

Feng Xiaogang didn't like to hear these words. As a Chinese person, he got Oscar as soon as he wanted. He really thought it was a chicken for sale.

When Chen Guofu heard Wang Zhonglei say, "The first day of "Juno" was [-]", he was calm.

"It still depends on the scale of the filming. How many movie theaters did "Juno" go to?"

"Seven, there is no movie theater willing to show it. I heard that this movie has invited Oscar queens and big-name stars. This time, they have to pay back all their previous earnings."

Chen Guofu, "Oh, hang up if you have nothing else to do."

Immediately Feng Xiaogang asked him, "Old Chen, isn't the box office of that Wang Quan movie particularly low?"

Chen Guofu shook her head, "It's not particularly low, it's a little high."

"What?"

"What! Only [-]!"

In the editorial department of Sina Blog, Mayo learned from a friend in the news department that "Juno" grossed [-] yuan on its first day.

This can be said to be a very shabby statistic, only one percent of Wang Quan's previous works.

The friend said, "I think it's mainly because the distribution scale is too small. Is it because no one watches literary films? It's the same in our country, but it would be nice if we can win awards in the future."

Mayo asked, "Are you going to make this news now?"

The friend said, "It must be posted. The domestic audience is very concerned about the news of "Juno". The "Infernal Affairs" adaptation of "The Infernal Affairs" has more stars and big names, so it has been compared."

Mayo, "Let me give you an idea. This time, instead of invoicing the property, post foreign reviews, what IMDb, and post some good reviews from it."

The friend thought for a while and nodded, "Lao Mei, it's just for your sake, but you still have to persuade Director Wang to make more commercial films in the future. Word-of-mouth is false, and there is no real one." The box office is picking up."

Back then, when the box office of "Escape Room" broke [-] million in North America, it was really exciting for the whole Internet.

Soon, Sina Entertainment posted an article in an obscure corner, telling about the good reputation of "Juno" in the United States, not only the comments from IMDb netizens, but also the praise from professional film critics, and in cooperation with the writer According to people's comments, some netizens began to look forward to being nominated for an Oscar on the spot and winning the statuette.

Although there was no special publicity, it quickly became popular and attracted a large number of netizens to watch.

Zhenjiao Dagu: Damn, Sina is so slow, Momo Haw is only publishing special reports now.

Cloud Without Wings: Did you see, IMDb scored 8.1, this score can be said to be nominated for an Oscar!

Dong Xianyuan: Foreign netizens seem to be praising the heroine and the music, but no one is praising our director Wang?

Wen Tianxiang: Those who praise the movie are not the ones who praise the director. The movie is created by Director Wang, and even the acting skills of the heroine are trained by the director.

Drunken Years: That film critic put it even better, saying that Director Wang has miraculously captured the hearts of the American people, which is simply unbelievable!

Of course, there is a lot of praise, but there are still people who care about the box office.

Bookworm word: Why is there no box office data?How much was the box office on the first day, how much was the box office in the first week?
Ning Caichen: For a literary film, the box office is not important, just pointing to Director Wang being nominated for an Oscar.

Up, down, left, right: The box office of literary films can also be very high. I remember that the North American box office of "Brokeback Mountain" is almost [-] million.

Pay attention to my big trick: Director Wang is really good, but he can't compare with Li. Now the No.1 foreign language film in North America is still his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Di Zetian: Could it be that Director Wang's box office performance is not satisfactory?
However, this inquiry was quickly submerged in the admiration of netizens for the high reputation of "Juno".

Until a few days later, someone on the Netease blog posted an article "Genius Director Falls?Hollywood no longer favors regalia! ", and then quickly boarded the Netease blog homepage.

In this article, the author lists the box office of "Juno" on its first day and first week of release.

$8 in the first day and $3000 in the first week.

"Aren't you shocked, that's right, this is the box office data of the first week of "Juno", not even 100 million!"

The author said, "As for this data, the domestic media actually avoided talking about it, avoiding the most important, which surprised me. Why, is it ashamed to mention it? Is it because of the shattering of the myth of royal power? It is because of that poor self-esteem Is it? I don’t think it’s necessary!”

"The failure of "Juno" at the box office is not due to King Quan's bad filming. It's just that literary films are usually boring and have a limited audience. In addition, there is no professional team to distribute such films, so they can only be released on a small scale in an attempt to create miracles. If It’s Harvey Weinstein doing it, and I think it’s already breaking tens of millions at the box office.”

"However, the box office failure of "Juno" is already doomed. I hope this matter can teach Director Wang a lesson, that is, don't easily touch areas that you are not good at. Your skill is to make commercially cool films, like "Escape Room" word-of-mouth It’s average, but isn’t it very successful at the box office? Don’t dream of being able to win awards at a young age, it’s better to settle down for a few more years, and then consider expressing your thoughts through movies when you’re 40 years old.”

As soon as this post came out, it stirred up waves.

Meow's Schrödinger: What, Director Wang missed?
The Sword of Nine Nethers: It’s fake, no matter how much Director Wang pulls his hips, it won’t be less than 100 million in the first week, right?

Rabbit Fighting Ji: It’s not that I am an afterthought. In fact, I was not optimistic when Director Wang chose this subject. He is still suitable for commercial films.

Nanshan Fumeng: Now you know how strong Li An is, the awards and box office are all so strong, Director Wang is still young.

A stray cat: The upstairs is from Wanwan, so I don’t even look at how old Director Wang is and how old Li Yin is!

Three traces: It doesn't matter, one loss is nothing, trust Director Wang, you will definitely have a second or third loss!
Yang Mi finished reading this post with a heavy heart, Yuan Shanshan didn't dare to tease her anymore in the dormitory, she felt like Mimi would scold others at any time.

Why is this group of people like this? It's just a loss. It's so ugly. Where are the fans before?
After thinking about it, Yang Mi carefully wrote a text message and sent it to Wang Quan, hoping that he would cheer up.

Wang Quan was in the car at this time, and Anna was driving.

He replied: What are you cheering up?

Yang Mi: Is it because Juno failed at the box office?

King Quan: Who said it failed at the box office?

Yang Mi: Online.

Wang Quan: It was a success at the box office, and we just had a celebration party.

Yang Mi: Huh?

Wang Quan directly dialed Mimi's phone number, "What's wrong, someone said about me on the Internet?"

"Well, they also said that your genius has fallen, as if you had an accident." Yang Mi said indignantly.

Wang Quan chuckled, "I'm not a genius myself, it's nothing more than hard work."

"Then what's going on with Juno's box office? Is Lao Mei targeting you?"

Wang Quan, "It's a low-budget literary film with low commercial attributes, so the usual practice of theater chains is to show it to several theaters, check the number of people in a single hall, and then decide whether to expand the theater."

"That's right, how about the number of people in the single hall?"

Wang Quan laughed, "There are more than 1 single halls, and it reached more than 2 single halls on weekends. It's so good!"

Yang Mi said happily, "Is it going to be released on a large scale this week?"

King Power, "expanded from seven theaters to 50."

"Ah, that's still not much?"

King Quan, "Because it is mainly released in Los Angeles, 50 halls are enough to cover, and most of the Oscar judges live in Los Angeles, so it is enough for them to see it."

"That's it~" Yang Mi felt a lot better, he couldn't see Brother Quan being wronged, Brother Quan was wronged, how could he pretend to be aggressive!

"Okay, my new film is about to start, let's stop talking."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi immediately went back to the dormitory in high spirits.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Xiaofei asked, "Mimi, why are you in a better mood suddenly?"

Yang Mi, "Hollywood's operating rules are too complicated, and I can't tell you clearly. Just wait and see, my brother Quan is holding back his big move!"

~
At this time, Wang Quan and Anna were driving to the "Twilight Saga" crew, and it would be more convenient for him to have a car there.

Just like what he said to Yang Mi, the single hall broke through [-], approaching [-]. His audience showed extreme enthusiasm for this movie. This movie is done!

After entering Oregon, Wang Quan suddenly asked Anna to stop when he saw a maple forest beside the road.

"What happened to the boss?"

Wang Quan, "Suddenly thought of an ancient Chinese poem, stop and sit in love with Fenglin~"

Anna didn't understand, but she soon understood that Wang Quan was very active in spreading Chinese culture to her.

Because of this maple forest, Wang Quan arrived more than an hour late, but the leading actors did not complain, and I didn't say what time I would arrive, I only said that I would arrive in the morning, and before 12 o'clock counted as morning.

They are a group of young people with dreams of becoming famous, and Wang Quan has successfully promoted three young actresses, Megan, Gadot, and Wang Keying, and he is well-known in this regard.

So everyone is very good, even Robert Pattinson, the leading actor who doesn't like this script, waits patiently, but Taylor Lautner, who plays the little wolf Jacob, is a little impatient. Still young, less than 15 years old this year.

The Thrones version of The Twilight Saga predates the original by a year and a half, so Kristen Stewart isn't 17 yet, which is pretty cool.

The leading actor, Robert Pattinson, is only 20 years old, and he is in better condition than in the original version. Although his face is dependent on Fang, he is still a bit delicate.

The most difficult choice was the role of Jacob the werewolf. Taylor Lautner, who played the original role, is only 14 years old this year. Wang Quan intends to change to an older actor.

But the role required Indian ancestry, as well as youthfulness.

The Indians are almost dead, and it is too difficult to find a suitable teenager. In the end, King Power decided to use the original lineup for all three protagonists. Although Taylor Lautner's face is a bit tender, he has grown up. A dog-licking werewolf is enough.

In addition to the three main characters, Alice in the Cullen family is still Ashley Greene.

But another member of the Cullen family, Rosalie, was replaced by Alexandra Daddario.

The heroine's big-breasted classmate Jessica was replaced by Kelly Cuoco, who just starred in the not-yet-aired "The Big Bang Theory" as the heroine Penny.

The most important thing is the female vampire Victoria, the big villain in the previous films, and King Quan finally managed to invite Kate Beckinsale to make a surprise cameo.

Of course, she has few roles and is not present today.

Wang Quan got out of the car, his legs were a little fluttering, he held up the car door, and waved his hand, "Hi everyone, I've been waiting for a long time~"
