I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 103: Box office hits in Japan and South Korea
"Mr. Zhang, call me now. What's the matter?"

After the interview on "A Date with Lu Yu" ended, Chen Chen told Wan Qingshan that Zhang Zhao had called just now. After knowing that Wan Qingshan was on the show, he didn't say anything. He only asked Wan Qingshan to call after he got off the show. give him.

Zhang Zhao’s hearty laughter came from the phone, “Haha, Director Wan, that’s a good thing.

Before "A Loyal Liver, a Loyal Brave" was released, Japan's Toei Corporation and South Korea's CJ Film Company came to the door, wanting to buy the distribution rights of "A Loyal Liver, a Loyal Brave" in Japan and South Korea. "

Wan Qingshan was surprised. "Loyalty and Loyalty" has not yet been released and has not been tested by the market. Why did Japanese and Korean companies come to the door?

In an instant, Wan Qingshan thought of "The True Meaning of Love".

After the Japanese and Korean distribution rights of "The True Meaning of Love" were sold, Wan Qingshan has been paying attention to it.

However, after the filming of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" started, "The True Meaning of Love" was not released in Japan and South Korea.

As a result, Wan Qingshan stopped paying attention.

Now, Japanese and Korean publishers come to buy the distribution rights of "Loyal Liver and Righteousness", which has not been tested by the market. This reminds Wan Qingshan of "The True Meaning of Love".

"Mr. Zhang, drag them with you first, and you can help me check the box office of "The True Meaning of Love" in Japan and South Korea."

"Haha, Director Wan, you have thought of it too. I used to find it strange that these two companies came to buy the distribution rights before the movie was released.

Then I thought about the news reports that Wan Dao, your Japanese and Korean distribution rights for "The True Meaning of Love" were sold.

I have sent people here to check. "The True Meaning of Love" has been released in the island country for three days and has already grossed nearly 3 million yen, ranking No. 25 in the single-week box office.South Korea is not bad either. There were already 4 moviegoers in the first week of its release, ranking No. [-] in moviegoers in a single week. "

Wan Qingshan was very shocked. He had thought before that "The True Meaning of Love" without a country's unique culture should not be bad at the box office in Japan and South Korea, but he did not expect it to be so good.

After being surprised, Wan Qingshan, who was smiling broadly, said quickly, "Mr. Zhang, talk to them and try to raise the price as high as possible."

“Director Wan, don’t worry, I will negotiate this in person, and I will definitely negotiate a price that satisfies you.

Director Wan, there is one more thing. Let me tell you first. There is no news about the box office of "The True Meaning of Love" in Japan and South Korea. There are no reports in China yet, so I want to use this news to promote "Loyal Liver and Righteousness". "

Nowadays, the trend of advocating foreign affairs is very serious in China. The high box office of "The True Meaning of Love" abroad will definitely make many people curious about Wan Qingshan's new movie "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness".

"Mr. Zhang, this is a good thing. Of course there is no problem with me. Using this news to promote it will definitely have a much better effect than me leading Zeng Li and others to go on TV programs to promote it."

"Haha, Director Wan, if you have no problem, then I will let you go and promote it."

"No problem, Mr. Zhang, you can figure it out."

"Okay, Director Wan, there's nothing else to do, so I won't disturb you."

"Mr. Zhang, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Li and Dong Xuan came over.

"Director Wan, what kind of happy event are you doing? I saw you were laughing so hard just now." Zeng Li joked.

"It's a happy event for me, and it's a happy event for you too." Wan Qingshan was in a good mood, and pretended to be mysterious to tease Zeng Li.

Zeng Li was stunned for a moment, "Is it also a happy event for me?"

Wan Qingshan originally wanted to tease Zeng Li, but he saw Dong Xuan on the side looking at him and Zeng Li with strange eyes, turning back and forth between him and Zeng Li.

When Wan Qingshan saw this, he didn't dare to tease him any longer, otherwise he didn't know what Dong Xuan would think.

""The True Meaning of Love" is a hit at the box office in Japan and South Korea. Is this a good thing for you?"

This news shocked Zeng Li and when she came to her senses, Dong Xuan exclaimed, "Sister Zeng, you have become an international star."

Zeng Li's face suddenly turned red and she quickly said, "What kind of international star? It's just that the movie is popular there, and it's not certain whether the actor can be popular.

Even if the actors become famous, they are still Chen Kun and Gao Yuanyuan, and I am just a supporting role in "The True Meaning of Love". "

"Sister Zeng, you're so pretty and you're sure to be famous. Besides, there's also the movie "Loyalty and Righteousness".

"The True Meaning of Love" has done well at the box office in Japan and South Korea, and "Loyalty and Loyalty" is definitely not bad either. This time, Sister Zeng, you are the heroine. "

"The True Meaning of Love" is a hit in Japan and South Korea. On the surface, Dong Xuan seems to be happier than Zeng Li, smiling happily.

"This is not yet certain." Zeng Li said modestly, but the smile that could not be hidden in her eyes showed that she was very happy.

Before the two of them could continue to be happy, Wan Qingshan greeted them and prepared to leave. Together with Zhang Jin and Yang Junyi, they rushed to the next TV station to promote.

， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ，

The premiere of "Loyalty and Loyalty", like "The True Meaning of Love", was held at the China Film Theater in Beijing.

Although there was no greeting from China Film this time, Enlight Pictures used money to pave the way, and with the news that "The True Meaning of Love" was a hit in Japan and South Korea, more journalists came than at the premiere of "The True Meaning of Love."

There are also many celebrities.

Han Hong, who had called Wan Qingshan specifically to ask for an invitation letter, was the first to come to support her.

Later, the actors of "The True Meaning of Love", Chen Kun and Gao Yuanyuan, came one after another.

Jiang Xuerou brought Yu Bo.

Guest stars Cai Shaofen and Chen Farong invited some friends in the industry to support Zhang Jin and Yang Junyi.

Then - Wang Jinghua, who led a large number of her artists to leave Huayi some time ago, and opened a management company with Chengtian Entertainment, also came, and also led several of her big-name stars.

Wan Qingshan was surprised by Wang Jinghua's arrival. He had never invited Wang Jinghua or her artists. Unexpectedly, Wang Jinghua came with a face and brought her artists with her.

Although Wang Jinghua belongs to the Beijing circle, Wan Qingshan, as a director and investor, could not chase people away when they came to attend the movie premiere.

"Sister Hua, Teacher Chen, Teacher Liang, Teacher Hu Jun, thank you for coming to support me." Wan Qingshan went up to greet them and thanked them.

"Director Wan, your new film is attracting everyone's attention, so of course I have to come and support it." Wang Jinghua said with a smile.

Chen Daoming changed his indifference towards Wan Qingshan that day at Li Xuejian's house. He showed a kind smile and called, "Director Wan!"

"Director Wan, I can't bear the title of teacher, you'd better just call me by my name." Liang Jiahui said with a smile.

Hu Jun said with an exaggerated expression, "Director Wan, don't call me teacher. I almost suspect that you are scolding me. You'd better call me Hu Jun like you did when you were filming "The True Meaning of Love." "

"Haha, then I'd better call you by your name."

After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he smiled at the three of them, and then said to Xia Yu, "Brother Yu, why didn't you bring your girlfriend with you?"

After Wan Qingshan got to know Zeng Li and the others, he also got to know Xia Yu. Although they didn't have much contact, their relationship was pretty good on the surface. "She, the drama troupe has a performance and no time, otherwise she would definitely come to the movie starring Zeng Li." Xia Yu said with a smile.

After Wan Qingshan exchanged polite words with a few people, he left immediately because he saw Han Sanping coming, and he also brought Ning Hua with him.

"Director Han, Director Ning, thank you for coming to support me."

"Qingshan, of course I have to come to the premiere of your movie." Han Sanping replied with a smile.

Facing Wanqing Mountain, Ning Hua showed an unnatural smile and congratulated dryly, "Senior, I wish your movie will be a hit."

"Director Ning, thank you." Wan Qingshan replied politely, turning his eyes to Han Sanping, "Director Han, thank you."

Wan Qingshan's words came from the bottom of his heart. He was really grateful to Han Sanping.

In order to prevent the impact of "Loyal Lives, Righteous and Brave", Yang Shoucheng managed other theaters to ensure that the filming rate of "Myth" did not drop much.

In addition, a Hollywood movie was released some time ago, which resulted in the first-day screening rate of "Loyal Liver and Brave" in other theaters being only 40.00%.

However, as an investor in "Myth", China Cinema Line cut some of the screening rates of "Myth" and gave "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" a first-day screening rate of 50.00%.

If it hadn't been for Han Sanping's order, China Cinema Line would never have done this.

Han Sanping understood where Wan Qingshan's words of thanks came from, and he reached out and patted Wan Qingshan's shoulder.

"This is because your new film is very exciting. I am doing this for the sake of the mainland film market. If your new film is too bad, I will definitely not help you."

"Anyway, Director Han, I still have to thank you."

Han Sanping smiled and saw Zhang Ziyi walking in.

"Okay, don't thank me. You go and entertain people. I'll go and have a chat with Wang Changtian."

As soon as Han Sanping left, Ning Hua smiled dryly at Wanqingshan, turned around and found a place to sit down.

"Beauty Zhang, thank you for coming to support me."

Zhang Ziyi, who was wearing a straight red jumpsuit, smiled lightly and said, "Director Wan, congratulations, you have brought glory to the country. "The True Meaning of Love" has done well at the box office in Japan and South Korea."

"Beautiful Zhang is joking, how can a movie bring glory to the country? If you want to bring glory to the country, it's you, Miss Zhang. You have entered Hollywood."

Faced with Wan Qingshan's words, Zhang Ziyi was not modest, but smiled proudly.

When Wan Qingshan saw this, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional. The ups and downs in the circle were vividly displayed on Zhang Ziyi.

At the time of the premiere of "House of Flying Daggers", Zhang Ziyi wanted to use the trophies from the three major European film festivals to improve her status in Hollywood, so she was a little flattered by Wan Qingshan.

Then, at the premiere of "The True Meaning of Love", "Hero" was a huge success at the North American box office, which greatly increased Zhang Ziyi's fame in the United States, so he began to distance himself from Wan Qingshan.

Now, at the premiere of "Loyalty and Bravery", Zhang Ziyi has caught up with Wendi Deng and starred in "Memoirs of a Geisha" produced by Steven Spielberg.

She is now firmly established in Hollywood and can be proud in front of Wanqingshan.

Wan Qingshan was not interested in chatting with the proud Zhang Ziyi. After a few polite words, he said, "Beauty Zhang, I'm sorry, there are so many people, so I won't entertain you." 'Turn around and go to Jiang Zhiqiang, who just came in and was chatting with Wang Changtian and Han Sanping.

As soon as Wan Qingshan walked over, Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Director Wan, you have to go to Hong Kong Island to promote this time."

Once the schedule for "Loyal Liver, Righteousness and Bravery" was set and the TVB started promoting it, Jiang Zhiqiang came to the door and wanted to introduce "Loyal Liver, Righteousness and Bravery" to be released on Hong Kong Island.

Neither Zhang Zhao nor Wan Qingshan had any objections to this matter, so "Loyal Lives and Righteousness", like "A World Without Thieves", was released simultaneously in Hong Kong Island and the Mainland.

"Mr. Jiang, when "The True Meaning of Love" was released, the actors and directors had no reputation in Hong Kong, so I was afraid of being left out.

Today, "The True Meaning of Love" has made me somewhat famous in Hong Kong.

Now that I am famous, I am no longer afraid of being left out, and I will definitely go there to promote it when the time comes.

At that time, Mr. Jiang will be troubled by the publicity preparations. "

"Director Wan, you are more than a little famous in Hong Kong. Last year, "The True Meaning of Love" made everyone in Hong Kong laugh, and many people remember it.

The recent success of "The True Meaning of Love" in Japan and South Korea has also spread to Hong Kong Island.Your fame in Hong Kong Island is now at its peak.

As for the publicity matter, don’t worry, Director Wan. Once you arrive on Hong Kong Island, leave everything to me and I will ensure everything is taken care of. Jiang Zhiqiang said exaggeratedly.

Wan Qingshan smiled and began to change the topic.

After chatting for a while, when Wan Qingshan was about to go find Yu Bo, Wang Jinghua came over.

Wang Jinghua and Wan Qingshan didn't chat much, she only said a few words.

It was pointed out that she has left Huayi, and she hopes that when Wan Qingshan needs actors in the future, he can consider her actors more.

Moreover, if necessary, we can also conduct in-depth cooperation.

Wan Qingshan looked at Wang Jinghua's leaving figure, narrowed his eyes, and thought quickly in his mind.

"As a person from Beijing Circle, Wang Jinghua must know the contradiction between Beijing Circle and me."

But she still wants me to consider her actors more?In-depth cooperation?Why would she think I would agree?
Um!By the way, she left Huayi and cooperated with Chengtian Company to establish a brokerage company. Everyone inside and outside the circle knew about it, but she did specifically point out that she left Huayi just now.

It seems that there are several factions within the Beijing Circle!

According to Wang Jinghua's intention, she was indicating that it was Huayi's faction that was the one who attacked me in the first place and had nothing to do with her.

That’s why she thought she had the opportunity to cooperate with me in depth.

However, Wang Jinghua's words cannot be believed at all. The conflict between her and Huayi is a bit big now. Wang Zhonglei scolded Wang Jinghua in front of reporters! '

， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ，

When the time came, the premiere began, and everyone in the lounge began to walk out.

There is no red carpet this time, but there will be some reporters interviewing when you move from the seating area at the back of the theater to the front.

Reporters from major newspapers and Enlight Pictures are well-paid, and they won’t ask questions that are difficult to answer.

But some reporters from small newspapers just ask everything in order to break the news.
