You Don't Understand the Happiness of the Director

Chapter 399: Concubine Liu Yi Teaches Hua Yi How to Do Things. Who Will Be Killed by If You Are the One? (1, Guaranteed!)

"Human Fireworks" won a total of six awards for Best Picture, Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actor, Best Soundtrack, Best Costume Design, and Best Art Design, becoming the biggest winner of the night.

Followed by "The Invisible Guest" are the best director, best actress and best original screenplay, which are also full of weight. Among them, the Golden Horse Award for original screenplay was shared by Cao Baoping and Wang Quan.

Therefore, the biggest winner is Wangdao Pictures, which can be regarded as a win for mainland movies. Wangquan's strategy of insisting on quality has made Wangdao's brand value higher and higher.

In Wang Quan's view, it is very rare for a mainland film to win three of the four major Golden Horse awards. After watching the live broadcast, he even wondered, is the Golden Horse Organizing Committee so generous this time?

However, in the eyes of mainland audiences, it is simply ridiculous that three mainland actors lost the Best Actor to a Golden Horse idol drama actor. The local protectionism of the Golden Horse Awards is still a bit too much.

In the eyes of Bayan filmmakers, this Golden Horse Award is a failure. It has completely become a sedan chair for mainlanders, and it is a waste of time.

Niu Chengze, the director of "Monga" in the audience, felt unhappy when he saw a large group of people on stage celebrating "Human Fireworks". Damn it, "Monga" has such a good reputation at the box office in the island. It is the annual box office champion of local films. He didn't even get himself nominated for Best Director or Best Picture. Although Xiaotian won the Best Actor, he was still unhappy, with a dazed expression on his face, and there was no sign of congratulations at all.

But the actress who was nominated for supporting actress was a bit interesting. She looked quite iconic. Niu Chengze touched his chin and showed a lewd smile.

Zhao Youting, one of the male protagonists of "Monga" next to Niu Chengze, couldn't help but shuddered when he saw his expression, eh~

"Human Fireworks" and "The Invisible Guest" will jointly hold a celebration banquet later, and will also invite many industry colleagues from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, such as Li Bingbing, Huang Bo, Ning Hao and others.

This time, as one of the judges, Ning Hao actively spoke out for mainland films. He had a tough attitude, and he also made friends with people from far and near, winning over several fence-sitters. He also had a share of the credit for the success of mainland films this time. He believes that this is because he is a mainland film actor. The responsibility of one of the two greatest stars in the film industry.

Quan, you make money at the box office abroad, and I’ll make the prizes!

Du Yang, the producer in charge of leading the group, also invited Feng Xiaogang and his wife, but how could Feng Xiaogang be in the mood? Now he just wants to curse, my Fanzi acted so well, why didn't he give it to the Best Actress? I have to come and get the Best Actor in person. right!

The two of them didn't go, but Zhang Jingchu went. It was a pity not to be selected by Wang Quan to play Shirley Yang, but it would be nice to have a good relationship with Liu Yifei.

It's just that when she wanted to talk to Liu Yifei, she was on the phone. From the sweet smile on her face, she could tell that it was Director Wang Quan on the other side.

Liu Yifei reported the good news about the golden horse to Wang Quan, and Wang Quan also told him the good news that "Twilight 5" exceeded 100 million on its first day in North America.

"My brother is so awesome, but I can't. I still haven't won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress."

"It doesn't matter. It's not a shame to lose to Teacher Arya. If you win, I'll be worried that you won't have the motivation to improve in the future."

Liu Yifei solemnly said: "Thank you, it's only since "Human Fireworks" that I felt like I had my first glimpse of acting."

"Then you should thank Director Huo, don't thank me."

"Thank you all," Liu Yifei giggled, "Brother, how much do you think the box office of "Human Fireworks" will be in Wanwan? Xiangjiang is not very popular in this genre, but Wanwan should be better."

She now hopes to make more money for Wang Quan, which can be regarded as realizing her self-worth. She was also very popular in Hong Kong when this movie was released in Hong Kong, but the box office was only over 3 million.

Wang Quan smiled and said: "Before considering how much box office it can generate, we should first consider whether the movie can be released in Wanwan."

Liu Yifei wondered, "We have won so many Golden Horse Awards, how come it is not released? I see that there are many Wanwan fans on my Twitter who are looking forward to this movie. They say that this kind of movie is called Little Fresh in Wanwan. Very popular style.”

Wang Quan held his forehead, it seemed that she really didn't know.

"The Wanwan Film Market has no restrictions on films from other countries and regions. Only for mainland films, a lottery quota system is implemented. That is, every year, lots are drawn from many mainland films to select ten to be released the next year. Not only are the films released randomly , and the release schedule is also far behind the mainland, and the lottery usually starts after the Golden Horse Awards.” (Note)

"Ah!" Liu Yifei said as if she was hearing a fantasy, "Why is this like this? This is too much! Then do we in the mainland treat Wanwan Films the same way?"

If Yang Mi were here she would definitely correct her: It’s our mainland, us!

"That's not true. Wanwan Films and Xiangjiang Films have the same treatment. They are both imported films. As long as China Film and China Film are willing and think they can make money, they can import as many films as they want. However, Wanwan Films are mostly literary films and are not mature commercial films. , it’s difficult to get ten copies together.”

For example, last year, only one "Cape No. 7" was introduced to purely Wanwan films, and it grossed 23 million at the box office. This film can be regarded as a revival of Wanwan's commercial films.

After listening to Wang Quan's explanation, Liu Yifei was very depressed. Could it be that her brother Wanwan couldn't earn this money?

Draw lots? She never believed in luck. She only believed in hard work. She got to where she is today because of hard work!

But the royal power doesn't matter. The Wanwan film market is just like that. It's similar to Hong Kong. Most of the market is occupied by Hollywood. Local films are struggling to survive. Occasionally there are one or two good ones. The maximum number of non-Hollywood films is more than 100 million, and usually 1,000. Wan is definitely in the top ten of the year.

Of course, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. If he really wants to target this market, he can bypass this rule by directly using Jiahe to make a Hong Kong co-production. Therefore, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is the main investment of Wang Dao and Jiahe. It will be much easier to directly enter the Wanwan market and promote it in Southeast Asia.

After chatting with her boyfriend for a while, Liu Yifei hung up the phone when she learned that he was still busy promoting movies in various places. Then she saw Wan Qian chatting with a man. The man was not tall and not good-looking.

"That's Director Dou." Suddenly a woman's voice appeared next to him.

Zhang Jingchu waited for Liu Yifei to finish the phone call and then came over.

"Is he the director? He looks a bit familiar."

"His name is Niu Chengze. In fact, he used to be an actor. He recently switched to a film director. "Monga" is his work. He is considered to be one of the more powerful commercial film directors in Bay Area recently."

"Oh~" Liu Yifei nodded, thinking she was a bad guy. Then she started chatting with Zhang Jingchu. Both of them were the losers tonight.

Afterwards, Liu Yifei came to Wan Qian and said, "Sister Qian, what was the director talking to you about just now?"

Wan Qian said with joy on her face, "Director Dou just sent me an invitation, saying that there is a role that suits me very well. It is a military theme and he wants me to audition for it."

"Ah, is it true? That's great!" Liu Yifei was sincerely happy for her friend.

Wan Qian straightened her body, "I also think I am very suitable to play a soldier. I will go to the audition after I finish my work here. He lives in the same hotel as us."

"Ah, are you auditioning so late?" Liu Yifei was a little worried.

Wan Qian was also helpless, "I can't help it, I have to leave tomorrow."

Liu Yifei, "How about I accompany you?"

"Ah, that's inappropriate. You remind me of that eternal legend in the entertainment industry."

"What's the legend?"

Wan Qian chuckled, "It's just a person accompanying a friend to an audition or an art school. In the end, he won, but his friend didn't."

Liu Yifei also laughed after hearing this. She had heard this kind of thing several times.

However, she was still worried, "Then let Sanxiu go with you and treat him as your assistant."

"That's okay," Wan Qian didn't refuse. "Isn't Sanxiu a retired female soldier? I can ask her some relevant questions."

Wan Qian went to audition. After the celebration banquet, she went to Tibei Night Market with Xue Xiaolu and Chen Yanxi who called on the phone. They chatted during the celebration banquet and didn't eat anything.

Liu Yifei introduced to Xue Xiaolu, "Yanxi is an alumnus of Wang Quan at the University of Southern California."

Xue Xiaolu was in awe after hearing this. She thought she was studying directing. She originally studied marketing, but now she is an actress. She has gained some fame in the mainland with "I Heard", but not much.

Liu Yifei asked about her current situation, and Chen Yanxi said that she is currently filming a campus-themed movie.

Liu Yifei is now learning and applying it, "Isn't it the fresh and fresh movie you often call it?"

"Yes, yes," Chen Yanxi said with a smile, "And I play a school beauty."

"Then there must be a lot of people chasing you."

"Absolutely. The name of the movie is "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", and I am that girl~"

After returning to the hotel, Liu Yifei went to Wan Qian's room first, and Sanxiu was also there.

"How was the audition? Was it successful?" she asked.

"Oh, don't mention it!" Wan Qian covered her face, feeling very embarrassed.

It was Sanxiu who said: "That's an old pervert, what kind of military theme, it turns out to be a theme about military girls! When that director saw me, he wanted me to go out and audition Sister Qian alone, but I didn't agree, and then he also I didn’t say anything. I chatted for a while about the art and aesthetics of Yunshan Mist Cover, and then asked Sister Qian to take off her clothes, and said that there shouldn’t be any leftover, as the scale of the movie is so big.”

It's not that Wan Qian can't accept large scales, she can convince herself as long as it's reasonable, but there is a third person in the key room, so Niu Chengze directly asked her to take off her clothes, leaving no trace of her clothes left. She has never heard of it except "Lust, Caution" Passing such a large-scale audition was clearly an attempt to humiliate her, and he did not take her seriously.

Wan Qian also spoke, "Seeing that I disagreed, he also said that he was going to shoot a Huayi movie in the mainland soon, and he could recommend me to play the heroine. The implication was that he wanted me to sleep with him."

Sanxiu, "And it's in front of me. It's so shameless. You're a scumbag!"

After hearing this, Liu Yifei was shocked, "How could such a person exist? What kind of director? He is simply a pervert. Shouldn't it be the actress who takes the initiative when a serious and capable director sleeps with an actress?"

Wan Qian:? ? ? Who is she hinting at?

Liu Yifei asked again, "Sister Qian, have you called the police?"

Wan Qian shook her head, "I didn't suffer after all, and this is Wanwan."

Liu Yifei understands Wan Qian's mentality of not wanting to cause trouble. After all, this is their territory, and Wan Qian is a female star after all. Female stars should try not to get involved with sexy news, otherwise they won't be able to explain it with their mouths.

After thinking about it, Liu Yifei thought of a way to vent her anger on Wan Qian, "He said he will be filming Hua Yi's movie soon, right?"

"Um."

Liu Yifei smiled and took out her mobile phone, "I have a good relationship with Hua Yi. I will talk to Mr. Wang about this."

Tonight, Wang Zhonglei was rarely at home with his wife and children, and he watched the Golden Horse Awards. The more he watched, the angrier he got. Is the Golden Horse Awards named Jin or Wang? Why are all the winners Wang Dao?

No, my last name is Wang, but Huayi only won a few technical awards for "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Earthquake" didn't win a single award. Wang Zhonglei quickly called Director Feng to comfort him, saying, "Don't be angry, think positively, we are counting on you to make money."

Before going to bed, Mr. Wang looked at the box office of "Twilight 5" on Maoyan software again, and he felt even more depressed. It seems that the mainland's 1 billion yuan can't stop it. Damn, it turns out that a dead person can be so useful. Hollywood really knows how to play!

It would be great if one person could die in "If You Are the One 2", but Teacher Ge can't die, and Director Feng can't die either, Shu Qi...

Wang Zhonglei thought about it, well, this one can die, and then Teacher Ge can be replaced with a female lead.

Just as he was thinking about good things, the phone rang. It was a completely unexpected person, Liu Yifei?

What's going on? Wang Zhonglei thought there was something good going on, so he went to the bathroom to answer the phone without telling his wife, but the result was...

Liu Yifei righteously exposed the shameless behavior of director Niu Chengze to Wang Zhonglei, starting with "I have a friend..."

Wang Zhonglei said strangely, "The friend you are talking about is not you, right?"

Liu Yifei, "Of course not me, but I can't reveal her identity."

Wang Zhonglei thought about it and it was right. Niu Chengze would never say that to Liu Yifei even if he was crazy, unless he didn't want to mix in the mainland. With Wang Quan's power, it would be easy to ban him, a Taiwanese director.

Wang Zhonglei, "So what do you want, Miss Liu?"

Liu Yifei, "Why don't you change the director? This kind of scum in the industry will get into trouble sooner or later."

She also kindly reminded him because of her good relationship with Huayi and their cooperation in "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Wang Zhonglei was happy to hear this: You are teaching me how to do things!

But then he became serious again, "Is this your idea or Director Wang Quan's?"

Liu Yifei, "My idea."

She was embarrassed to bother Wang Quan with this matter, her brother was so busy.

Wang Zhonglei, I said it, Director Wang Quan is a mature director, and he probably has more female stars with hidden rules than ten Niu Chengzes. How could he not understand what is going on in the entertainment industry? How could he ban other directors for such a small matter.

So Wang Zhonglei perfunctorily said, "Yeah, okay, our company will seriously consider this matter, thank you Miss Liu for your reminder."

Liu Yifei, who did a good deed, said happily, "You're welcome, it's what I should do!"

(Please give me a monthly ticket! There are two more updates!)

(Note: In fact, the lottery started in 2013. Before that, mainland films entered Taiwan through an application system, first come first served, and 10 films per year)
