You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 172 The old monster and the fairy are a perfect match (1, ask for a monthly ticket with a guarantee)

During the acquisition of Golden Harvest led by Wang Quan, Wang Dao Films, Huayi Brothers, China Film Group, and Qiankun Culture in the mainland jointly announced that the four investment companies will launch "Li Mi's Conjecture" directed by Nortel teacher Cao Baoping at the end of the month, and Wang Quan will personally act as the producer.

This pair of Mr. Cao, who had always been fighting in small ways, was full of faces, and they were a little uncomfortable. They had never fought such a rich battle.

This news broke the previous rumors that the two kings of Huayi and Wang Qiankun and Wang Quan were at odds with each other.

Wang Zhonglei said in an interview with reporters, "Master Kun is just like our own brother. He watched our two brothers grow up. He couldn't write two Wang characters in one stroke. How could there be discord? There was competition before, but it was also a healthy competition, but it was misrepresented by the media. Some journalists are nothing!"

Subsequently, the cast of "Li Mi's Conjecture" was also announced, starring Zhou Xun and Deng Chao, in addition to Zhang Hanyu, Wang Yanhui, and Wang Baoqiang.

Although the cast is not bad, the biggest highlight is Wang Quan's first film after returning to China. The originally planned "Double Food Tale" can only be delayed.

In fact, everyone in the industry knows that a producer is nothing. Huayi Erwang, Chen Guofu, Wang Qiankun, director Cao Baoping, and China Film Han Sanping are all producers. If Wang Quan can be the producer, it will be considered a deep bond with him, but it is enough to fool a layman.

Experts including Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang are very excited. If they can get in touch with Director Wang through this play, and even gain Director Wang's favor, they may be able to act in Director Wang's play in the future, especially the leading actor.

Now Director Wang is going to win Golden Harvest, which means that he will probably return to China to film.

So who will be the leading actor in his first film has become a suspense in the circle. Many people think that he may use the Xiangjiang cast. After all, with Golden Harvest in his hands, it is normal to cooperate with Cheng Long and Andy Lau.

But Deng Chao definitely hopes that he will use the mainland lineup, even if he does not use himself for the first time, as long as he is biased towards the mainland, then he will have a chance.

He is not the only one who wants to get a chance. He is also a popular niche. After "Sculpture of God", Huang Xiaoming can almost be compared with his good classmate Chen Kun. Later, he also starred in "Night Banquet" and "New Shanghai Beach".

Because of the cooperation of "Night Banquet", Hua Yi fell in love with him, a great horse, and wanted to sign him, but he had been in contact secretly before, and he didn't dare to let Deng Chao know.

Huang Xiaoming has always been hesitant, because he feels that Huayi doesn't quite fit with director Wang Quan, and he still wants to make a film about Wang Quan in the future. If you are so stiff, what if it affects me.

However, "Li Mi's Conjecture" just now dispelled Huang Xiaoming's worries. It seems that the rumors in the market are not reliable, so he readily agreed to Huayi and prepared to become the first brother in the past to bring some new atmosphere to Huayi.

Xiangjiang, Yang Ying, and her best friend Wen Yongshan are shopping. As young models, they don't have a lot of work and their money is limited.

Fortunately, Wen Yongshan is a native of Xiangjiang, and Yang Ying is an outsider. At the moment, she is a little confused, thinking about whether to go to Nihong or return to the mainland to develop.

"Oh, if I knew that King David was so powerful, I should have given him my contact information and measurements!" Yang Ying regretted endlessly.

It wasn't until they saw in the news that Wang Quan was about to acquire Golden Harvest that they realized that this young man from the mainland who was not much older than them was actually a big boss, and the companies he opened in the United States were all profitable.

Wen Yongshan said with a smile, "Wow, you have a boyfriend and still fight like this, is there a mistake!"

Yang Ying said with a smile, "I believe Wei Ting must also support me in doing this. There are two street fighters, one must take off first."

Wen Yongshan looked at her best friend, "But your measurements don't seem very attractive either."

"Beat!"

Two [-]-year-old girls were chasing and playing in the streets of Xiangjiang. They were pretty and wore short clothes, which attracted many heads.

Suddenly, Yang Ying stopped, and Wen Yongshan looked behind him strangely, "Why don't you leave?"

Yang Ying, "I think I saw King David!"

"No!"

"Xiangjiang is very small," Yang Ying approached the coffee shop furtively, "Does he look like him?"

It's too far away, and there's a colored glass, Wen Yongshan, "But there's an old woman sitting opposite him, is that reasonable?"

Yang Ying, "That's right, such a great director must be dating young and beautiful girls like us."

Wen Yongshan, "Would you like to go in and have a look, in case it is really him, you can give him your contact information and measurement data, oh, and mine."

Yang Ying: "..."

However, when he reached the door, Yang Ying faltered, "Look at this place, it's very expensive, you can't just go in and order nothing, if I make a mistake, I'll lose a lot."

Wen Yongshan, "That makes sense, let's go."

In the coffee shop, Wang Quan chatted happily with Shi Nansheng opposite.

Although Shi Nansheng is 56 years old, she is in good spirits. Wang Quan thinks she can work for another 20 years.

Shi Nansheng laughed and said, "Director Wang, you really dare to think about letting Jiahe's former nemesis take charge of Jiahe?"

Golden Harvest had always been unfavorable in the Hong Kong film industry, defeating such a deep-rooted and powerful enemy as the Shaw Brothers, until the new art city came out, and at the most glorious time, it even forced Golden Harvest and the Shaw Brothers to join forces.

Among the Seven Monsters of New Art City, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming, Xu Ke, Zeng Zhiwei, and Teddy Robin are all all-round talents who can direct and act, and Shi Nansheng is their big butler, responsible for stabilizing the rear and allowing them to create freely.

Even if Golden Harvest changed hands at this time, it would still be a mess. Without a strong manager familiar with the local conditions, it would be difficult for it to recover.

Although there are many powerful managers in the Xiangjiang film industry, they basically have their own family businesses, such as Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Siyuan.

After thinking about it, Wang Quan felt that Shi Nansheng was the most suitable. Since the disintegration of New Art City, she and her husband Xu Ke have been running their film studio.

However, after entering the new millennium, Xu Ke's production of filming has decreased. In addition to being a husband and wife team with Xu Ke, she also worked as a consultant for Huang Baiming's Oriental Film. Last year, she and Huang Baiming released the manga adaptation "Dragon Tiger Gate".

It can be seen that she has always been very ambitious, and she is not satisfied with just being the woman behind Xu Ke, she also wants to be the woman behind more directors.

Moreover, she has worked in this industry for more than 20 years, her reputation is strong enough, and she handles things smoothly. Some people don't like Xu Ke, but few people don't like Shi Nansheng.

Although she didn't agree, Wang Quan didn't believe her and she was not moved. "I think you and Jiahe are very suitable. I can meet you today and talk about so many new art city's past. I am very satisfied. I grew up watching the new art city movies. That was my childhood."

Wang Quan said to Shi Nansheng what he had said to Zou Wenhuai.

Today, he didn't intend to ask Shi Nansheng to express his opinion immediately. Choosing Jiahe meant that she had to give up the common cause with Xu Ke, which was still very difficult for her to choose.

After returning home, Shi Nansheng told Xu Ke what he had said in the meeting with Wang Quan today.

What she didn't expect was that Xu Ke actually raised his hands in support, "This is a great opportunity for you. The Golden Harvest stage is big enough, and with the royal power at its peak, you can fully display your talent. I have wronged you for following me these years."

Just as Shi Nansheng was about to be moved, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Although Master Xu was ugly, Shi Nansheng was tolerant of the flowers he played with. He didn't think it was a big deal for a man to spend his days and nights outside, but he would beat people from time to time to let him know that outside was just playing tricks and that he was the real man.

Shi Nansheng suspected that the old man just wanted to get rid of his nagging and beating, so he supported himself and let her be tied down by work.

Xu Ke yelled that he was wronged, "Didn't I think that if you become the master of Jiahe and have a relationship with the royal power, I can also follow the glory."

Since "Shushan" and "Seven Swords" failed at the box office successively, it has been very difficult for Xu Ke to get big investment to make blockbuster movies.

What have he been shooting recently, "The Iron Triangle" with Lin Lingdong and Du Qifeng, police and crime films.

There is also the thriller and suspense "Looking for Man in the Deep Sea".

For Xu Ke, who was once brilliant, it can only be regarded as a small cost, he is aggrieved.

Especially when he saw his former old friend Wu Yusen, what was he filming, even if he made a fuss in Hollywood, he still had a top project like "Red Cliff" for him to shoot after returning to China, and it was about to start shooting. Thinking of this, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Shi Nansheng hurriedly hugged Xu Ke into his arms to comfort him, and he was really unhappy recently that he could make the proud master say "I can also be in your glory".

Xu Ke murmured, "I heard that old guy Yu Rentai made a script of King Quan. If he can also give me a suitable script, maybe I have a chance to return to Hollywood."

What Xu Ke received was the education of American movies, and he always wanted to make a name for himself in Hollywood. He tried several times, but the final results were not satisfactory. The achievements of that guy Wu Yusen really made him envious to death.

Even if it hits the street now, it has been developed before, and it is the world's annual box office champion. I am afraid that no Chinese director will be able to do it in the future.

In fact, another important reason why Wang Quan invited Shi Nansheng was Xu Ke.

Xu Ke can be regarded as a rare technical talent among domestic directors, and he is one of the few directors who can make blockbuster special effects films.

Although his two "Shu Mountain" hit the street, his innovation and reconstruction of Xianxia movies are amazing. Even Wang Quan can't remember the plot of "Shu Mountain Legend", but he still remembers those ethereal and magical pictures.

For so many years, Wang Quan has only seen the flavor of Xianxia in his movies. This love for Shushan and Xianxia makes even Wang Quan feel ashamed.

Four Seasons Hotel, Wang Quan met with Wu Siyuan again, and he sent the final nomination list for the Asian Film Awards.

"I thought I would never have a chance to meet Director Wang before the awards, but I didn't expect that we would meet so soon."

"Yes, it's a great honor to have a face-to-face communication with the Godfather of Xiangjiang Film."

Wu Siyuan waved his hand, "Oh, it's overkill. Uncle Shao Six and Boss Zou are still here. How can it be my turn? Director Wang's courage is astonishing, which gave me a glimmer of hope for the future of Xiangjiang Films."

He was talking about the acquisition of Golden Harvest, which touched him quite a lot. If it wasn't for Golden Harvest's current losses year after year, he would have been tempted by the fact that Golden Harvest's assets did not exceed one billion.

Wang Quan shook his head, "The future of Xiangjiang Films is to fully cooperate with the mainland. It is exactly what you are doing, Boss Wu, and I plan to follow suit in the future."

But the difference is that Wu Siyuan brought Xiangjiang's team and concept to the north to shoot movies, while Wang Quan thought more. He wondered if he could bring the mainland team south in the future, and use the soil of Xiangjiang to shoot some inconvenient films that are not allowed to be shot in the mainland, so as to broaden the types of Chinese films and increase international competitiveness.

After being praised by Wang Quan, Wu Siyuan was very happy, "Then look forward to Director Wang joining Golden Harvest as soon as possible and becoming a member of our Hong Kong film family."

After chatting for a while, Wu Siyuan put down the list and left, hoping that he could complete the selection three days before the awards.

In fact, Wang Quan will give him the results tomorrow. He has watched all the films nominated, and he has a steelyard in his heart.

For the best film "Han River Monster", "The Golden Armor in the City", "Exile", "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", "A Point of a Samurai" and "Java Opera", Wang Quan followed his heart and chose "The Good Man of the Three Gorges".

The best director Bong Joon-ho was not shortlisted, Wang Quan had to vote for Jia Zhangke again, but in fact he admired Bong Joon-ho at this time even more.

Best Actor, Wang Quan looked at Andy Lau, Zhang Zhen, Fu Dalong, Watanabe Ken, Shah Rukh Khan, and voted for Fu Dalong's "Tengu" without hesitation. He was not shortlisted in the original time and space, but this time he was voted by Wang Quan. Wang Quan admired his performances in "Tengu" and "Purple Sun".

Best actress, I'm sorry Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Lin Xiujing, Nakatani Miki, Miyazawa Rie, he chose Kim Hye-soo from "Old Thousand", this eldest sister is really domineering, beautiful, and her acting skills are not to mention, but the boyfriend she is looking for is too ugly. For example, Gong Li is looking for Huang Bo as her boyfriend.

For the next best screenwriter, Wang Quan voted for "Crazy Stone", the best photography for "Scarred City", and the best art for "Wu Qingyuan"...

Wang Quan knew a version of the final list of winners in advance, but because he had himself this time, and the votes were basically different from that list of winners, he was quite looking forward to what kind of chain reaction there would be in the end.

This is only the first round of voting, and you will have to continue voting later.

After finishing all this, Wang Quan said to the bathroom, "Anna, you can come out now."

Anna came out wrapped in a bath towel, just now Wu Siyuan came suddenly and disturbed the two of them, so Wang Quan asked her to hide inside.

Now it's finally time to move on.

Unexpectedly, someone came to interrupt again, and Wendy in the next room rang the doorbell.

Anna took off the bath towel depressedly, walked into the bathroom again, and stepped into the bathtub to take a bath.

Wendy came this time to tell Wang Quan a bad news, "Someone wants to snipe our takeover plan."

"Who?"

"An entertainment company from Mainland China called Orange Sky Entertainment..."

(Remember the picture above~ There is also a monthly vote~ Lafayette will be able to post the picture tomorrow!)
