You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 264 "The Slums" debuted, Twilight 2 came to a successful conclusion (2, monthly ticket 4800)

At the end of August, at the Democratic party convention in the United States, a middle-aged black youth was nominated for the party's presidential candidate. Although it was only a nomination, because of his skin color, his name quickly spread around the world.

In California, which is the stronghold of the Republican Party, the Greenberg family was happy. The old Greenberg watched the news in surprise, like a gambler who won a big bet, "That kid really made the right bet!"

At this time, good news came from the country.

At the Golden Eagle Awards held at the end of the month, Yang Mi appeared at the awards ceremony as the goddess of the Golden Eagle. She felt that the dress prepared by the Golden Eagle was too poor, so she spent money to hire a designer to remake it.

Then on the awards stage, Yang Mi and Wang Baoqiang won the Most Popular Actor and Actress Award at the Golden Eagle Festival.

Wang Baoqiang relied on "Soldiers Assault", and Yang Mi relied on "Brilliant Legacy" at the beginning of the year. Of course, this is not a Golden Eagle TV queen, but a product of the Golden Eagle TV Festival.

The awards of the Golden Eagle Awards have always been very confusing. The audience's favorite actor and actress award, the most popular actor and actress award, and the best performing arts award are all messy, and it is difficult for outsiders to figure out.

Before 2000, the Golden Eagle Awards had the best actor and actress awards, and they were the undisputed queens of Shidishi.

After 00, the best actor and actress was canceled and changed to the audience's favorite actor and actress, and each year there will be three to five actors and actresses winning awards.

This situation will continue until more than ten years later (2020) the best actor and actress will be restored, and the number of winners will also decrease.

In this situation, the audience's favorite actors and actresses are actually the queens of Shidishi, with a very rich output. Young actors such as Lu Yi, Tong Dawei, Sun Li, and Yin Tao have all taken them, and the familiar old actors are even more famous. Basically one and a half staff.

This year's winners are Li Youbin, Lin Yongjian, Wang Wufu, Wang Baoqiang, Jiang Wenli, Sarina, Liu Jia (Li Huanying), and Tong Lei, so Wang Baoqiang is the king of vision, and Yang Mi is not the queen of vision.

However, Yang Mi feels that there is hope for her next award (two years later), and "Time 1997" will be in the next awards cycle.

For this matter, Yang Mi called Wang Quan several times, just like Mrs. Xianglin, "If time can be broadcast a few months earlier, I will definitely hold the post-screening this time!"

Looking back, that's a treasure that even Concubine Liu Yi doesn't have!
Although "Time 1997" is a group drama, Fan Xiaochun played by her is the eye of the drama, which is why she benefited the most after the drama became a big hit.

Indeed, winning awards for this role, and with four or five prizes each, is definitely more convincing than "Pretty Li Huizhen".

Wang Quan told her to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, "It's time for you to start school too, it's the last year of university, cherish it."

Entering September, the Montreal Film Festival, a Category A international film festival in Maple Leaf Country, closed, and the film festival's biggest award, the "America Award", was awarded to Takita Yoji's "The Undertaker" produced by the Tokyo Branch of Dragon Head.

The accompanying producer Hideo Umekawa flew to Los Angeles after the closing ceremony to report to the headquarters, and proposed the idea of ​​"The Undertaker" hitting the Oscars.

Of course, it is the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Dorothy was in a dilemma. Originally, she thought the company would only have one "Slumdog Millionaire" for the Olympics next year, but "District [-]", which was released first, had a great reputation, so there were two movies for the Olympics. , the budget has increased a lot.

In this case, the help the company can provide to "The Undertaker" is very limited.

What Wang Quan was worried about was, "Can "The Undertaker" get the ticket in Neon China?"

Like Huaxia, there are three films that can be selected for the Oscar for best foreign language film every year, one for the mainland, one for Hong Kong, and one for Wanwan. Taking the mainland as an example, usually the film bureau has the final say, and whoever is allowed to go can go.

Neon's words are also determined by the organizations related to Neon movies. Dragon Head Tokyo can be said to have no status in Neon, not to mention that this year Neon's Hayao Miyazaki released a new work "Ponyo on the Cliff", which sold 150 [-] million yen, this film is very hopeful for Oscar nominations.

Hideo Mei Chuan said, "At that time we will do the work of Hayao Miyazaki. If he thinks "The Undertaker" is more suitable, I am afraid that others will not say anything."

Dorothy, "Then let's wait until you get the tickets first. As long as Nehong chooses "The Undertaker", the headquarters will also support it."

"Thank you Boss Tao, thank you Director Wang!"

After leaving the company, Wang Quan invited him to dinner in a private capacity, and asked him about Tokyo, "Is Yui-chan and Xi-chan all right?"

Wang Quan and Jia Duo's official announcement of their love affair has also attracted some attention in Neon China. Of course, those two girls must be most concerned about this matter.

Hideo Mei Chuan, "They? They're very nice. They didn't even think about having anything to do with you, and they didn't even bother to call you a scumbag."

Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, how are you doing, have you thought about what to shoot?"

"I won the copyright of Daisuke Igarashi's "Little Forest". I am very interested in this manga."

Little forest, Wang Quan has a little impression of this movie, it has no plot, it just highlights a beauty, beautiful scenery, beautiful food, and beautiful people. After watching it, it will make people have an unrealistic yearning for the neon rural life.

This made Wang Quan think of someone, Li Ziqi.

Wang Quan saw her videos when he invested in YouTube before. The unreal, beautiful and attractive rural life has fascinated foreigners one after another.

After the Olympics, the world turned to Huaxia one after another, and began to have a strong curiosity about this once demonized land, and tried to get in touch with it.

However, the content they can access is basically the new cities of China, and their impression of the countryside of China may still be in the Chinese rural movies of the 90s and [-]s.

If a domestic film like Little Forest shows the most beautiful side of rural life, can this impression be reversed?

Wang Quan thinks this is a very interesting topic.

As for Hideo Meichuan, Wang Quan certainly supports him in trying to shoot subjects he is interested in.

After the Montreal Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival, which is more influential in Maple Leaf Country, opened. Wang Quan, who had retreated in Los Angeles for half a month, also led a team to participate in the Toronto Film Festival. This is the most influential copyright trading center in North America. Film dealers from all over the world gather here.

When King Quan arrived, Dorothy had already bought the North American copyrights of two films, one was the action film "Taken", which cost a huge sum of 2000 million knives, and the other was "The Wrestler", which cost 400 million knives. Thousands of knives are still profitable.

Dorothy told King Quan, "Fox Searchlight still wants to spend 5000 million to buy the North American copyright of "Slums."

In the 06 Sundance Film Festival, the global copyright of "The Basement" was sold for 2000 million dollars. Wang Quan and Dorothy were almost crazy with joy.

It has only been two and a half years, 5000 million knives, and it is only a North American copyright, a return of more than three times, but the two scoffed, time is really magical.

The fact that Searchlight wants this can only show that the word-of-mouth of "Slums" from the Taylorett Film Festival has moved their hearts.

But it's not for sale, they brought it here just for display.

Toronto is not a competitive film festival, and there is no jury. The biggest award is the "Audience Choice Award", which is won by the film with the highest votes voted by the audience participating in the film festival.

Li Yin's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won this award before, and other well-known films such as "American Beauty", "Life is Beautiful", "The Pianist" and "Amelie" won this award.

So when King Quan finally stepped onto the podium to win the Audience Choice Award, the applause was very warm, and the audience thought that King Quan had once again created a masterpiece that did not lose to "Juno".

"He finally knows his way back, and movies like "Twilight" are not suitable for him at all!" Many people who have watched the movie think so.

Facing the overwhelming praise, Wang Quan was very humble. On stage, he first thanked the screenwriter Simon Beaufoy, "Thank you for his trust in me. You must know that I have never been to India before."

He also thanked Laughlin Tandan, another Indian female director who was not present, "This film is the product of our cooperation. Without her, I would not have been able to finish this film quietly in the complex environment of India." .”

In the end, Wang Quan thanked Boss Tao, "I always only like to shoot my own stories, and I have always insisted on writing and directing myself before. It was Dorothy who persistently persuaded me to take a look at the script, which made me not miss a masterpiece. ,thank you all!"

Wang Quan tried to distribute the credit to others, repeatedly mentioned the importance of the well-known screenwriter Simon Beaufoy in the publicity, added the Indian female director Laughlin Tandan to the director column, and strengthened Dorothy The presence of this producer will also be part of the publicity in the future.

This may be able to dilute the debuff brought by being a Chinese. It was a stable win situation. If you lose because of your nationality, it would be a pity.

Even if he can't get the best director himself, as long as other deserved awards can be won, Wang Quan can basically be satisfied.

I was very happy to win the award in Toronto, and Mimi's birthday is coming soon, Wang Quan is going to discuss with Concubine Liu Yi how to celebrate her birthday.

Last month, Wang Quan also discussed with Yang Mi to celebrate Concubine Liu Yi's birthday, but Wang Quan was unable to attend both times.

As a result, Concubine Liu Yi felt a little depressed.

"What's the matter, I heard that "I heard" has a good box office, is it because it's not as good as "Crazy Supermarket"?"

The box office of this movie was 1500 million in the first week of its release, and the word of mouth is also very good. It should not be a big problem to pay back, but it just wanted to be a big hit but it didn't work. The schedule is too cold, and this kind of small freshness is not as popular as local comedies. .

Concubine Liu Yi, "It's not because of this. Have you read the news? Many babies are endangering their lives because of drinking poisonous milk powder. How can those people do this? They even put their babies' lives at risk for money!"

Concubine Liu Yi hasn't become a mother yet. If she has a baby now, even if she doesn't drink it, she can blacklist domestic milk forever just because of this.

After listening to her detailed explanation, Wang Quan knew that something happened to a dairy company named Sanma.

He didn't know about this before. After all, it's not like an earthquake or an epidemic. There are many film and television works to perform it. Although this incident has a huge impact, it seems to be like that. No film and television works dare to touch this subject.

Wang Quan sighed, and called Yang Mi again, telling her to keep quiet on her birthday tomorrow, to live her own life, and not to post on Weibo.

As a public figure, you still need to have this insight. When the public is sad, if you are happy, you are guilty.

Yang Mi's birthday was celebrated at school, and this was the first time she spent it with her classmates in the dormitory, and the girls in the class next door were also called to join her.

Yuan Shanshan was overwhelmed by flattery, but she didn't expect that Yang Mi would become more and more popular and close to the people.

In the past, she still wanted to meet Yang Mi by virtue of her beauty, but now she has no such intentions at all, and only thinks about whether she can be a little bit of Yang Mi's glory in the future.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you join her company, Yang Mi doesn't want to have her classmates in the company, it will be very awkward.

"Sister Mi, will you go to the Hundred Flowers Awards?" Jiao Junyan asked.

Two days later, the Hundred Flowers Awards will be held in the Grand Union.

Yang Mi shook her head, "I entered the film industry relatively late, and "Crazy Supermarket" is not in the awards cycle, but the other party invited me to walk the red carpet. I thought to myself that I didn't bring my work with me. I didn't go to the red carpet."

The girls were envious. The Hundred Flowers Award was one of the three major film awards in the mainland. Yang Mi pushed it as soon as she said it. She really has the confidence, but it's a pity that "Supermarket" didn't break through [-] million.

It is indeed a pity that "Supermarket" ended up with 9500 million at the box office, but "Chibi·On" was also not easy. Affected by the release matrix of Qiankun, it finally closed at 2.88 million and failed to break the third.

In the evening, Yang Mi went home to celebrate her birthday with her parents, and at the same time received a phone call from Concubine Liu Yi to wish her well.

If you say she blesses you, then bless her. If you insist on talking about the Hundred Flowers Award, it will appear that you have been shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress, right?

It's just a few minutes of the scene, it's also embarrassing!
Concubine Liu Yi was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the Hundred Flowers Award for her role as the female thief in "Lost Orphans", and this role should have been Yang Mi's.

Yang Mi: I regret it to death!

But on the night of the awards ceremony, Yang Mi still watched the live broadcast with her friends in the dormitory.

Although the Hundred Flowers Award is voted by the audience, it does not mean that anyone with high popularity will win the award.

It is first voted by the audience to select the nomination list, which really depends on some popularity.

Then 101 lucky viewers were selected from the audience to form the final judges, and then these 101 people voted directly at the awards ceremony.

It's a pity that Concubine Liu Yi lost to the old drama Gu Yalei's "Yun Shui Ballad" in her choice.

Yang Mi yelled regretfully, if Concubine Liu Yi lost, she definitely hoped Concubine Liu Yi would win, if Concubine Liu Yi won, she would hope Concubine Liu Yi would lose.

Maybe this is love~
The biggest winner of Hundred Blossoms tonight is "Lost Orphans", winning three awards for Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Actor.
Wang Quan watched the replay later, and felt that Xiaogang was so pitiful, but Li Bingbing next to him smiled happily. He was the best actress, and he was really happy. What was even happier was that she received a film contract from Qiankun, a movie called "The Wind". , heroine!

September has passed by in a hurry, and "The Twilight Saga 2" has basically ended in major box office markets around the world, only sporadic markets have not yet been released.

In more than three months, it has handed over an excellent report card of 3.35 million dollars in North America (the picture has been drawn), and 7.59 million dollars worldwide (still growing)...
