You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 153 On Oscar Night, Mother and Daughter Saimi, Hit the Flag! (2, monthly ticket 2200)

Wang Quan understands what Dorothy means. Jiaheye is the most brilliant company in the history of Xiangjiang Films. It can even be said that it is not one of them. The pattern of the rivers and lakes, the title of the four gold bricks are the youthful memories of countless [-] people.

"Why are you interested?" Wang Quan asked with a smile.

Dorothy, "It is true that the company's current market value is not high, only a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars."

It’s only a few hundred million. Boss Tao’s tone is really big now, and hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars are no longer in his eyes.

However, Wang Quan was also a little curious, "Why is it so cheap? I have the impression that there are quite a few excellent films in the Golden Harvest film library. The copyrights of these old movies are worth the old nose's money in Hollywood."

And Golden Harvest has many movie theaters in Asia!

Dorothy is half a native of Xiangjiang, and she often went to Xiangjiang for short stays when she was a child. She even saw her grandfather cupping Zou Wenhuai. According to her, "The film industry in Xiangjiang was in decline, and the stock price naturally couldn't go up. If you lose money playing on the Internet and engaging in video sites, the stock price will drop even more.”

Dorothy further persuaded Wang Quan, "We want to do global distribution. Asia, especially the Southeast Asian market, is actually not easy. After all, there are many countries in Southeast Asia, and there are several subdivided markets. The six majors have been operating for many years to achieve the current results. Instead of starting from scratch, we might as well just buy a ready-made company, Golden Harvest is a perfect fit, they have distribution channels all over Asia, and they have theaters in Xiangjiang, Wanwan, Mainland China, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia!"

Hearing this, Wang Quan was really moved, "So Golden Harvest is really good!" Because of its early development, Golden Harvest's movie theaters are all owned by itself, and when they entered the mainland to build movie theaters, the policy was quite generous, basically all of them were their own. Real estate, no worries about rent.

Dorothy, "Well, how about we raise some money and take it down!"

Wang Quan asked, "What is Golden Harvest's share distribution like now?"

Dorothy obviously did some homework, "The biggest shareholder is Boss Zou's family, and then Li Jiacheng. Before Golden Harvest encountered several crises, it was Li Jiacheng who helped Boss Zou get through it for the sake of his friends. Crisis has now become Golden Harvest's second largest shareholder, and EMI Records..."

Although there are many shareholders, everyone's willingness to hold is not strong. Many people, including Li Jiacheng, look at Boss Zou's face. If Boss Zou says quit, everyone will be happy to let go of this burden.

Dorothy's idea is that the Dragon's Head movie will use Golden Harvest and Xiangjiang as a springboard to enter Southeast Asia, and then cooperate with Neon's branch to control the mainland and the Asian market!
What Wang Quan thought was exactly the opposite of what she thought. What he thought was that Chinese films would be exported to Southeast Asia with Xiangjiang and Golden Harvest as a springboard, and to cooperate with the dragon to rise to the world.

It will only become more and more difficult for mainland films to go global in the future, but if this film is disguised as a Hong Kong film, the difficulty will be greatly reduced. The West is very wary of the mainland, but it has another attitude towards Hong Kong.

And in addition, co-productions enjoy more policy benefits. Some standard films cannot be made in the mainland. If it is Hong Kong Capital, or the story takes place in Xiangjiang, it can easily pass the review of the Film Bureau.

For example, Wang Quan once watched Du Qifeng's future movie "Drug War". If this movie was made by a mainland team, unless there was a big help, it would be tortured by the relevant departments. It was filmed, and mainland directors cried with envy.

"Tao'er, are we brothers?"

"Of course, dead brother!"

Wang Quan said, "Then, Golden Harvest, don't fight with me. This is a golden signboard for Chinese-language movies. It should stay in China and continue to shine for Chinese-language movies."

"Even if we buy it, we will stay in Huaxia, and the dragon's head is half of yours."

"It's a half."

"Hey, if you tell people this now, they will ignore you."

"Don't talk to me, I'm serious," Wang Quan said, "I am determined to win Jiahe, and if I gobble up Jiahe with the size of the dragon now, the debt on my body is too heavy. I don't know how long it will take for Jiahe to make a profit. You will always lose money, so even if it is for the sake of the dragon, you should not fight with me. When I get Golden Harvest, it is equivalent to the dragon getting the Golden Harvest, and it will not affect your idea of ​​​​laying out in Asia."

"But do you have that much money?" Dorothy looked at him suspiciously.

Wang Quan, "If I have no money, I will ask my dad to sell some antiques. Money has never been a problem."

Dorothy, "Damn it, you've pretended again, well, I won't argue with you anymore."

At this time, they had already reached the door of the house. Tao Weilong opened the door and saw the two of them, "I thought you fell into the sewer, but if you don't come in, the old man is waiting impatiently, so he pulled his hand."

Wang Quan and Dorothy immediately entered the door with their fingers interlocked. Wang Quan greeted Tao Daqi in Cantonese. Tao Daqi stroked his long beard, "Xiao Wang, come, let's get a pulse."

Wang Quan stretched out his left hand skillfully, Tao Daqi looked at Wang Quan, then at Dorothy, and nodded secretly, my granddaughter's strength should not be underestimated, Xiao Wang's such a good foundation is a bit too much, "It's okay, it's okay, I've eaten Let me give you acupuncture."

"Ah, Grandpa, is there anything wrong with me?"

"It's all small problems, not worth mentioning, eat and eat."

After leaving Tao's house, Wang Quan was refreshed and his mind was still spinning. He had been thinking about Jiahe's matter. Although he and Dorothy were very firm in what he said, he was actually beating drums in his heart.

Buying an old Xiangjiang film company, who will manage it, how to stop the company from losing money, and how to get the company on the right track, these are all very headaches. In fact, Wang Quan can't rule out buying it himself, but getting worse possible.

After all, Wang Quan's current focus is Hollywood, and the future focus will be the mainland. It is impossible for him to devote too much energy to Golden Harvest, but it is not so easy for management talents who are familiar with the situation in Xiangjiang.

Fortunately, Boss Zou only revealed to his old friend that he wanted to withdraw from the film industry. At this time, he did not really announce the sale of Golden Harvest. Wang Quan was not in a hurry.

He also discovered from the film and television library that there was a new company called Orange Sky Golden Harvest until 2008. He knew what was going on just by looking at the name, and he was no stranger to Orange Sky.

At that time, Wang Jingxuan took away dozens of big-name stars from Huayi Brothers, and he went to Orange Sky Entertainment. After the establishment of this company, it was rich and powerful, and it went everywhere, but in fact, there was Japanese capital standing behind it.

After thinking about it, Gadot came back and invited her to participate in the Oscars. He hoped to be with her when he walked the red carpet.

"Ah, what about Lily?"

Wang Quan smiled, "Lily is the heroine, there is a hero to accompany her, and if not, her father."

"But I wasn't invited by Oscar either?"

"Who said, you are so popular now, how come Oscar didn't invite you, but I asked Annie to give me the invitation letter." Wang Quan took out two invitation letters from Oscar from under the pillow.

Although King Quan is very popular this year, Gadot also became popular with "Escape Room", and his popularity even surpassed that of the heroine.

Gadot happily kissed Wang Quan on the mouth, and then she was going to take a bath, and invited Wang Quan to visit.

~
Before the arrival of the Oscars, Wang Quan was still busy with the post-production of "Twilight", participating in the whole process and being meticulous.

In addition, during this period of time, he often made phone calls with the country, wanting to know more about the current situation of Golden Harvest.

Eating Jiahe is not easy for him now, even very difficult. Fortunately, it is not time for him to use the money, so he can just mortgage Jiahe to the bank to get money.

On February 2th, it was the night of the Oscars. The movie channel still chose to broadcast live this time, only 25 minute later than in the United States.

Before the broadcast started, the ratings of the movie channel started to rise slowly. After more than half a month of vigorous marketing by the media, it is now well known in China that Wang Quan was shortlisted for seven Oscars. Many people are not interested in movies. Everyone wants to see if Oscar can award the award to a Chinese.

Although Li Press has already won it once before, which directly made him a god in the hearts of many movie fans and became the number one Chinese surpassing several major directors of the same period, most people think that Li Press and Wang Quan are two different things.

How hot this matter is, let's just say it, even Wang Qiankun kept a low profile.

The last time he was shortlisted for the best original screenplay, he almost notified the neighbors. He put up banners at Dawang Cinema and broadcast the Oscar live on the big screen.

But this time he didn't respond to the whole process, and he didn't even accept media interviews. I'm afraid he also realized that the people of the country have put such high expectations on his son. The light media should turn around and take a negative rhythm. Anyway, what they eat is celebrity popularity, and the others don't care.

Moreover, Wang Qiankun also asked Wang Quan, he said, "The probability of not getting a prize is 60%."

"How can it be so high?"

"Let's put it this way, the previous "Juno" won the most awards from various wind vanes and film critics for its original script, but because of my identity as a Chinese, there is a high probability that I will not win this award that was originally guaranteed. The other is Phil Collins' best original score and best original song, but because he won an Oscar before, the probability of him winning again is a little bit lower."

So Wang Qiankun is a movie channel that he watches alone in a courtyard.

But soon someone came to ring the doorbell. From the monitoring, it was Yang Mi.

Opening the door, Yang Mi and Yang Xiaolin were still following behind.

Yang Mi held the fruit in her hand, "Uncle, our TV is broken, can we use your TV?"

Wang Qiankun is like a bright mirror in his heart, Mimi is really a good girl, she also knows to come to accompany me, a lonely old man, and the Yang family siblings are also in good shape, it is this old Yang, with a drooping face, is this the attitude of your people's public servants.

He smiled and welcomed the family in. There are also melon seeds and dried fruits bought during the Chinese New Year. "It's coming soon, it will be broadcast in 5 minutes."

Yang Chunling asked, "Brother Wang, sister Mei didn't come to watch with you for such a big event."

Wang Qiankun waved his hand, "I invited you, but if they don't come, they say her TV is big, no matter how big her TV is, it can make my screen big in this movie."

In Wang Qiankun’s home, there is a small cinema. With the curtains drawn and the curtains down, one can watch movies. There are a dozen soft sofa seats and Dolby surround sound, which is a treat.

Obviously this is not the first time for Yang Mi to come here. She took a popsicle from the refrigerator in the screening room. Today is the day when I can eat popsicles, but it's a pity that Brother Quan is not blessed to enjoy it.

At the same time, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were also waiting for the movie channel's Oscars ceremony.

Concubine Liu Yi originally wanted to fly back to Los Angeles with her mother to find a way to get two tickets to the awards ceremony, but because her performance in the Spring Festival Gala was so popular, she was loved by all the people in the country, and it was the second highest-rated Spring Festival Gala. Zhao Benshan's sketch was the top one, so she received an invitation from the UNICEF Office in China to participate in a charity concert, so she couldn't go to the United States.

"Watching TV is good too," Concubine Liu Yi looked at her mother, "Why aren't you wearing a cheongsam, it's a good start!"

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter in cheongsam, "You are superstitious."

"This is a wonderful blessing. There are still a few minutes left, so you can change it."

Unable to bear Concubine Liu Yi's nagging, Liu Xiaoli had no choice but to change into a cheongsam, but she is a delicate person. Since she changed into a cheongsam, she had to re-do her hair and choose suitable jewelry.

Concubine Liu Yi looked at her mother's hairstyle, and then at her scribbled braids, alas, she was outmatched again.

Sighing, Wang Quan took Gal Gadot onto the red carpet, Concubine Liu Yi immediately raised her head, she could lose to her mother, but not to foreigners!
But Gadot tonight is really top-notch. As the newcomer that United Elite Brokerage Company is now favoring, the company has helped her win a lot of fashion resources. The mood bonus of being on stage with my sweetheart, she is literally glowing tonight!
Wang Quan and Gadot sat down, and soon Lily, Ma Ling and others appeared beside him. Lily's father, Phil, didn't come tonight, but he gave Lily an acceptance speech, so that she can use it when the time comes. Burn it up.

Wang Quan asked Lily, "Did your father give you two paragraphs, or one testimonial?"

"A paragraph."

"Then what if he wins two awards?"

Lily, "He said, if that's the case, you will receive the second prize, and you can say whatever you want."

Wang Quan smiled, "Then I thank him."

But he thanked him early, and soon the best original soundtrack was awarded.

Babel, from the names of presenters Penelope Cruz and Hugh Jackman, got off to a flying start.

And "Juno" has seven nominations, only six.

Next, King Power's good friends Naomi Watts and Robert Downey Jr. presented the best visual effects, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which swept the world, won this award without a surprise.

What Wang Quan is thinking at the moment is, when will such an item be added to the domestic film awards, it may be the time when Chinese films are truly prosperous, but even if they are as strong as Hollywood, there are only three candidates for this nomination, which shows where the special effects industrial blockbusters are. All are scarce.

Next, there are five candidates for best original song, three of which are from "Dreamgirl". This is a music and musical film, and music is its strong point. Good soundtrack.

However, the name spoken by the guest of honor, John Travolta, was "YOU"!
Song by Phil Collins for Juno!

"Juno" finally hit the ground running!
(I have something to do today, I will come back tonight, sorry~)
