You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 694 ①Changjin Lake ②She Killed ③A Brother-in-law is More Important Than Heaven ④Good News from Cannes
Da Tiantian sat up, her flawless skin and beautiful figure exposed to Xiao Tiantian for free.

Tian Xiwei and Jing Tian knew each other because of "Go Go Squid!", but their acquaintance was not as thorough and open as it is today.

Big Tiantian stretched, becoming even more attractive. She said to Little Tiantian, "You shouted too loudly last night. Your throat must be hurt."

"I……"

Tian Xiwei was unable to utter a word. She didn't understand why Jing Tian appeared here, and in such a charming manner.

Fortunately, Jing Tian quickly answered her questions.

Tian Xiwei suddenly realized that the woman under Director Quan’s desk yesterday was her!
That’s right, the hair, skin, and body shape all match!

But she never expected that Da Tiantian, who was known as the "rich and beautiful woman in the world", would go to that extent for a man!
She also found out that Director Quan knew from the beginning that she went to the cinema, so he deliberately arranged for her to deliver the paper.

However, she did not feel humiliated after being deceived. Instead, she felt sweet and proud inside.

Director Quan really went to great lengths to get me!

"Not angry?" Da Tiantian asked with a smile.

Xiao Tiantian shook her head: "I am so happy, from now on, Sister Tiantian and I will be good sisters!"

As she said that, she climbed onto Jingtian's bed and hugged her affectionately.

"We have many good sisters, so you have to be prepared and don't expect to be with him every day."

"Who, who are they?" Xiaotian asked curiously. At least she thought her classmate Zhou Ye should be one of them, otherwise how could Ye Zi become famous so quickly with her qualifications.

"It's hard to explain. You will get to know him slowly in the future. But the most urgent thing now is how to attract this man to come back here at night. Don't you think so?"

Tian Xiwei nodded and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Jing Tian smiled and said, "Do you know the formula 1+1＞2..."

Wang Quan was in the car and had just hung up a call from Zhang Yimou, who wanted to ask Wang Quan for a ten-day vacation.

At this time he was filming the first part of "The Three-Body Problem".

It just so happened that at this time the Cannes Film Festival invited him to be the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit.

If it was just an ordinary judge, he might have declined, but this was the chairman of the jury, a position only two Wangs (Wong Quan and Wong Kar-wai) in the Chinese-language film industry had held, so Zhang Yimou was still very tempted.

However, he also promised, "The filming schedule will not be stalled. I have arranged for the assistant director to shoot some less important scenes."

The assistant director is his daughter Zhang Mo. After the failure of her last original work "28-Year-Old Minor", she has been studying with her father.

Wang Quan readily agreed because he had already received a reply from Cannes that Zhang Jingchu's "Fragrant Osmanthus" had been shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Zhang Yimou has always been very competitive in winning awards for Chinese-language films, and basically every time he participates in a film festival, he will never let a Chinese-language film fail to win an award.

Wang Quan had also seen "Fragrant Osmanthus", and considering its quality, and the fact that the chairman of the jury was one of his own, he would not go home empty-handed.

However, he did not plan to tell Zhang Jingchu about this, so as to prevent her from contacting Zhang Jingchu after knowing it, which would put him in an awkward position.

Just after he hung up the phone, WeChat on his phone rang. He clicked it and saw it was a message from Da Tiantian. She sent him a photo of four steamed buns piled together and asked him: Will you come back for dinner tonight?
Wang Quan smiled slightly and replied: Dinner is ready, of course I have to go back.

He likes to eat pasta, which can fill him up.

On the other side, inside the villa, Tian Xiwei shyly put on her clothes. Fortunately, her face was not photographed, otherwise she would definitely not let Jing Tian take a photo.

Fortunately, this sacrifice was worth it. I could see Director Quan again in the evening, just with one more person than last night.

When they arrived at Wangdao Building, Wang Quan was pulled into Qiankun by his father before he even entered the company.

Not only was he there, but also Xu Ke and Huang Jianxin, and there was a script on Lao Wang's desk.

"what's the situation?"

Old Tsui rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "Director Quan, I have already decided what my next film will be, it's this one!"

Wang Quan took a closer look and saw the title of the film "Changjin Lake" on the cover, and the name of the screenwriter next to it: Lan Xiaolong.

He is the Lan Xiaolong from "Soldier Assault" and "My Captain, My Regiment".

Lao Wang explained: "This book is "Winter and Lion" written by Lan Xiaolong in recent years. I reserved it before it was published, and then changed the name to this."

Huang Jianxin added: "Next year's National Day will be the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. It's perfect to use this film as a tribute."

Lao Wang continued, "We did some budgeting. This may be the most expensive movie in the history of Chinese-language films, so we naturally need the country's top director to manage it, so we chose Director Xu."

Wang Quan laughed and said, "You are a Hong Kong director filming the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea?"

Xu Ke patted his chest and said, "I'm very popular!"

"No, I'm just afraid that you might shoot it wrong." It would be fine if Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy involved suppressing bandits, but this is a serious war film.

Xu Ke did not refute. It was indeed easy for him to turn any story into a martial arts film, so Wang Quan kept a close eye on the "Zhu Xian" series and it finally landed smoothly.

Lao Wang smiled and said, "I still believe in Director Xu's ability, but there is only a year and a half left until next year's National Day. The film "Changjin Lake" is full of large-scale scenes and war scenes, which are not easy to shoot. So we plan to find two more directors to shoot with Director Xu. Lin Chaoxian has already been confirmed."

Huang Jianxin: "Then we also want to invite Wu Jing to be the third director and also play the male lead Wu Wanli."

"That's right. With an investment of this scale, we wouldn't dare to do it without a box office superstar like Wu Jing." Lao Wang praised Wu Jing highly.

Although Wu Jing did not have any starring role in 18, the influence of "Wolf Warrior 2" is still there. Even if "The Wandering Earth" and "The Climbers" in the following summer and National Day failed, he is still the most suitable choice.

Lao Wang's idea was to let Wu Jing shoot the scenes outside the battlefield first while others were preparing to shoot the battlefield scenes, and then participate in the subsequent filming as an actor and provide some assistance to the two middle-aged and elderly directors.

"So this is why you are looking for me?" Wang Quan asked curiously.

Lao Wang: "Of course we have to attract investment. The investment in this film is at least over 1 billion. Our family cannot take that risk, so we have to get Wang Dao, the number one in the industry, to join. I have already thought about it. Let Lao Huang be the chief producer, and we will also invite the Bayi Film Studio and the China Film Group." As for finding Wang Quan to be the director, Lao Wang had never thought about it. His son is so successful in the US market, and making this film would be a slap in the face of the US. How can he make money from them in the future?

"So you're looking for money? That's no problem. I'm willing to contribute to main-theme movies." Wang Quan said readily.

He picked up the script and weighed it. "It's so thick. Are you sure you can finish filming it?"

Lao Wang chuckled and said, "There is also a plot about bombing the Watergate Bridge after Changjin Lake. We plan to make it into two movies."

The costs are still the same, but the risks are greatly reduced. It would be OK if the total box office of the two films could reach 40 billion.

Afterwards, Wang Quan called Chen Chuling and got the project of "Changjin Lake". Wang Dao contributed the most money, but Qiankun was responsible for the specific filming.

Qiankun’s team has extensive experience and connections in shooting mainstream TV dramas, so Lan Xiaolong can basically be considered an insider of Qiankun.

Xu Laoguai, who has already read the script, said: "The male lead of this movie has been locked on Wu Jing, but the second male lead is a teenage boy. I am a little confused."

Wang Quan: "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you. Also, once the company spreads the word, all the suitable actors in the country will naturally compete for this role. The second male lead in the new play of the three major directors, and playing brothers with Wu Jing, I'm afraid the company's threshold will be trampled."

Originally, Wang Quan was going to the company, but after leaving Qiankun, he suddenly went to visit a film set.

This is the filming site of the movie "She Kills", directed by Cao Baoping, starring Fan Bingbing, Huang Xuan, Xin Zhilei, Wen Yongshan, Li Wei, etc. Fan Bingbing, Wen Yongshan and Xin Zhilei can be seen on the scene.

After the last film "The Murderer", Director Cao was not scared by the evil forces. In the end, the prototype of "The Murderer" was re-sentenced to death and has been executed.

Although "Making a Murderer" was banned from participating in awards, which is equivalent to an implicit ban, it has become a god in the hearts of the people. Like Wang Quan's "Who is He", it is hailed as a classic film that kills criminals.

Director Cao's new film "She Kills" has an equally bold theme. It tells the story of a female student from a top domestic university who was drugged, causing her to become paralyzed for life and lose consciousness. Everyone suspected her roommate, but the case has not been solved yet.

The story has a prototype.

Although Pang Bing has maintained himself very well, he is almost 40 years old after all. Playing the role of a college student would make him look younger than he actually is. So the story actually takes place several years after the crime occurred, starting with the victim's roommates.

Although there were many people on the set, Pang Bing didn't care about other people's opinions and hugged Wang Quan directly, acting like close old friends.

Wen Yongshan was extremely envious, but she didn't dare to be so blatantly ambiguous with Director Quan.

Xin Zhilei also looked at Wang Quan and Pang Bing with a playful look. Although she was not familiar with Wang Quan, she had met him many times in various occasions and had talked to him several times. She felt that Director Quan and Fan Bingbing could not be in a romantic relationship, but they definitely had a relationship.

Such a carefree life is really enviable.

Wang Quan let go of Pang Bing and chatted with Director Cao for a few words. After they finished filming for half a day, Wang Quan and Pang Bing got into her RV.

Wen Yongshan hesitated for a moment and followed. With her around, the people in the crew wouldn't think anything wrong.

Crew member: I didn’t think anything wrong, it must be a one vs. two fight!
When Wen Yongshan got in the car, the two men had already started, and their movements were very intense. Wen Yongshan was worried that the car would shake.

When it was her turn, she was not gentle at all.

Wang Quan finally had time to talk business with Pang Bing.

"Wang Dao, Qian Kun, and China Film Studio Bayi are planning to make a super war movie next year to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The investment will be over billion yuan, with two parts, directed by three famous directors Xu Ke, Wu Jing, and Lin Chaoxian."

"Ouch!"

Fat Bing's eyes lit up immediately, "You want me to play the leading female role?!"

Wang Quan felt that Wen Yongshan also had some reaction, and probably wanted to play a role as well. She has never been picky.

Wang Quan was amused: "The script was written by Lan Xiaolong. You should be familiar with Lan Xiaolong's style. There are almost no female characters. It's all pure masculine drama."

"So you want me to invest?"

"You like to interrupt so much~"

Pang Bing nodded, then pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Wang Quan continued, "Wu Jing is both the director and the male lead. The second male lead is his younger brother, a teenage boy who followed his brother to the Korean War. He is also the character with the most complete personal growth trajectory in the film. He is also the only main character who survived in the end. He is the first perspective of the film. In short, this second male lead is very important, so..."

Wang Quan paused and said, Wen Yongshan, "Ah!"

Wang Quan: "So why don't you let your brother try? He is eighteen or nineteen years old and looks young, so his age is more suitable."

"Ah, Cheng Cheng, is he okay?" Fan Bingbing first doubted herself. In her eyes, Fan Chengcheng was originally a little fat boy. Now he has debuted as an idol, and he is tall and thin. However, in his sister's mind, he inevitably has a negative impression of being sloppy and not serious.

Wang Quan: “With his current acting ability, it’s definitely not possible. There are several young actors of his age who are better than him, but the film is still several months away from starting shooting.

"If you want Cheng Cheng to seize this opportunity to soar to the sky and leave other male stars born in the 00s far behind, then act quickly, stop all the work you are doing, and find teachers, history teachers, military teachers, and acting teachers, and arm them all."

After listening carefully to Wang Quan's words, Pang Bing immediately stood up and gave Wang Quan a big kiss on the mouth, and said to him seriously: "It's no wonder that Cheng Cheng calls you brother-in-law. I thank you on his behalf."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. For me, the quality of the film is the most important. If it doesn't meet the standards in the end, it's normal for it not to be selected. If he really is not selected, you should invest in this film. You will definitely make money, and a lot of money at that."

"Ah, so if I'm chosen I won't be able to earn this money?" Fat Bing was angry.

"Yes, he has never acted before, and suddenly he got such a heavyweight role. People will say that he was forced into this role by you, the big shot. It's not good for him personally, or for the promotion of the film."

Pang Bing expressed her understanding, but of course she still hoped that her brother would have a smooth career path.

Judging from what Director Quan said, this movie will definitely be a huge hit, and it will also be good for the second male lead!
She immediately called Cheng Cheng's agent and asked him to cancel all future activities, including the group activities of NINE PERCENT, which was a limited boy group formed after her brother's successful debut in Idol Producer. It was a subsidiary of Mi Shi, and she would explain it to Yang Mi in person later.

Other women can call her sister, and I can bend and stretch, so can Fan Xiaopang!
In order to thank Wang Quan, Pang Bing wanted to organize a party tonight and invite Xin Zhilei as well.

However, Wang Quan’s plans for the evening had already been confirmed, so he had to postpone it to another day.

After explaining everything to Pang Bing, he went back to the company to work for a while. He did not return to the villa until very late. At this moment, Da Tiantian and Xiao Tiantian were still waiting for him.
