You don't understand the happiness of the director

Even though Meghan looks sexy and coquettish, she is actually only 20 years old this year, a little younger than Wang Quan, and her upbringing is very strict. She went to a Catholic school since she was a child, and her stepfather asked her not to fall in love. Of course, there is no such restriction after the age of 18. It may be like a spring that has been compressed for too long, so it jumps happily when it is released.

On the way back, Wang Quan drove the car, and the two encouraged each other like old friends. Wang Quan said that Meghan would definitely become a world-class star after "Transformers".

Meghan said that even if King Power doesn’t get an Oscar this time, it will definitely get one in the future.

It seems that Wang Quan is more talkative.

Meghan does not know how to speak as well as Wang Quan, but she feels that whatever she says is false, it depends on the actions.

In the speeding car, she checked her bag. Well, even if it was as powerful as King David, it should be enough if you save a little at night.

She originally thought that Wang Quan would take her directly to the apartment. She had been to that place once before as the headquarters of the "Basement" crew. The bed there was nice and soft.

But then she watched the car speed past the apartment building and then turn into USC.

School has started early and there are so many people coming and going, so it’s not appropriate.

Finally, Wang Quan parked the car next to his Mazda, patted the headlights and said, "Meghan, thank you for sending me here. It will make traveling more convenient in the future."

"You took my car just to find yours?"

Wang Quan, "Yes, thank you again."

Meghan gritted her teeth, “You’re welcome!”

Wang Quan was about to start the car, but the car rumbled for a while and failed to start successfully. After all, it was a second-hand car, and it would get a little angry from time to time.

Mei had not planned to just leave like this, but seeing Wang Quan helpless with the car, she took the initiative to help open the hood of the engine, bent down in front and took a look, looking extremely professional.

The perfect combination of mechanical rigidity and feminine softness. This scene reminded Wang Quan of next year's movie "Transformers" that he had seen, and he couldn't help but sigh: What a small waist!

However, Megan is obviously not as proficient in auto repair as she is in the movie. In the end, the repair advice she gave was, "It seems, uh, there is no glass of water."

Kingship, "..." What on earth was I expecting.

Fortunately, two male students majoring in aerospace and aviation engineering, one black and one white, passed by. Seeing Megan at a loss, they immediately patted their chests and said they could help.

Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Wang Quan was considering whether to change a car altogether. After all, he was no longer an ordinary person, and he was always late for everything he did when driving this Mazda.

But two classmates said it was not a big problem and could at least be used for another ten years. They were so angry!

"Leave it to us next. We only need to replace a few parts and the car will be ready to drive tomorrow!" The two boys looked at Megan and said, this is the hot girl's driving force.

Then Meghan hugged Wang Quan's waist and said to them, "Goodbye, thank you for your hard work!"

Watching the two people driving away, the dark-skinned boy said, "That girl is really hot!"

Megan sent Mr. Mighty downstairs to the apartment. Because of the new script, Wang Quan would be very busy tonight, so he did not invite Megan up for a drink.

Meghan looked unhappy, shrugged and left. Wang Quan did not dislike Meghan. What he thought was that the future was long anyway.

The next day, Wang Quan picked up the car from school and hurried to the Greenberg Farm southwest of Los Angeles. However, he was the last one of the crew to arrive.

Fortunately, the film requires afternoon light, so it did not affect his work. After getting to know the new crew members, he was even able to accept an exclusive interview from China before filming started.

I just agreed with my cousin Mayo to do an exclusive interview with Sina News, and the reporter has already arrived as scheduled.

"Hello, Director David, I am a US-based reporter from Sina Portal. You can call me Crystal." The other party spoke English throughout the whole process and was very fluent.

"What's your last name?"

"Uh, my last name is Li."

"Oh, hello Reporter Li, I see that your English is very good, but let's communicate in Chinese. It seems particularly friendly in this foreign country."

Li Xiulian paused, nodded, and turned on the recorder. This time it was a text interview, not a video.

Li Xiulian: "Hello, Director Wang, you put the interview address here. Does this place have any special meaning to you?"

Wang Quan: "This is the filming location of the first movie I directed, "The Basement," which is now renamed "10 Covelo Lane." We are about to reshoot a plot. This is where my dream began."

Li Xiulian: "I heard that your debut film was bought by Paramount for a sky-high price of 20 million U.S. dollars, but the cost was only 5 million. Can you give me a formal response here?"

King Power, "Yes, it's true."

Li Xiulian was excited: "So you can make almost 100 million this time!"

Compared with traditional media, online media really has no taboos. This kind of question that makes the interviewee very embarrassed can be asked freely without being subtle at all, because she knows that netizens like to see this.

After asking, she still stared at you with her double-eyelid eyes, as if she could share your money.

Wang Quan smiled and shook his head, "Although I made the movie, I didn't cast it alone."

"Then how much did you vote?"

King Power, “My producer and I each voted half and half.”

Li Xiulian: "If you vote half, you will get half of it. That's half a billion, which is pretty awesome!"

Royal power, "..."

Li Xiulian, "Are you excited to make so much money for the first time?"

Wang Quan, "Fortunately, people are often most excited about money when they make money for the first time. At that time, even if they don't make much, they are still very happy and can remember it for a lifetime."

Seeing that the female reporter's interview was too vigorous, Wang Quan hurriedly spoke more and controlled the pace of the interview.

Li Xiulian, "Oh, when was your first pot of gold, Director Wang?"

Wang Quan: "I won't talk about the tens or hundreds of dollars, but let's talk about how I earned my first ten thousand yuan. I remember that I was in the first year of high school, and a movie called "My" was released at that time. "Brothers and Sisters", produced by Bona, was a good movie, but it didn't do well at the box office at the beginning.

“At that time, my dad’s cinema had just bought a big TV and put it outside to play trailers. I felt that their trailers were not attractive enough, so I re-edited a version using the trailers provided by the film company and added my own soundtrack. The sound gave a family film a comedic touch. After being released again, the effect was very good, and the attendance rate suddenly increased.

"Later, in order to reward me, my dad gave me the extra profit that month compared to the previous month, and also asked me to re-edit the trailer of "Pearl Harbor" that was released next."

Li Xiulian: "Wow, you really have a good father! Your cinema must be big, right?"

Wang Quan: -_-||, isn’t the point of this story that as a high school student, I am already proficient in film editing technology, and the trailers are better than those made by professional companies? !

Wang Quan looked up at the sky, "Well, it's just fine~"

Now he doesn't want to control the pace of the interview, just do whatever you want.

But what he didn't expect was that reporter Li raised a sharp question, "Director Wang's experience reminded me of a very popular spoof video in China. It was also a re-editing of the movie that attracted widespread attention. Is it Regarding "The Promise", have you heard of it?"

"You mean "A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun"?"

Reporter Li was pleasantly surprised, "Ah, is this video so influential? Director Wang has heard about it abroad!"

Wang Quan, "Actually, I just came back from China to celebrate the Chinese New Year. At that time, the news was everywhere on the Internet in China."

Reporter Li, "Yes, this video was so popular during the Spring Festival and was loved by many netizens, with millions of clicks. However, director Kai Ge was very dissatisfied with it and angrily criticized the video producer Hu Geren for not being so shameless. , what do you think about this?"

Wang Quan thought for a while and said, "I think "Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" is a genius idea and the first of its kind. I suggest creators to systematically study film and television production and not lose themselves because of the current popularity. Don’t waste your talents.”

A look of excitement immediately appeared on Reporter Li's face. There was a headline, Hollywood's new talented director went to war with the top domestic director Chen Kaige!

Wang Quan continued, "But I can also understand Director Chen's anger. The video of Hu Ge was produced during the period when the movie was in theaters, and the materials used were also taken from pirated resources. We must remember that when making secondary creations of the movie , try to use the content of the trailer released by the film producer instead of the content of the feature film, which is protected by copyright law, unless you have the permission of the film producer, in a case like theirs, there is definitely no authorization, so as a creator, for Chen I can completely understand the director’s anger, and I would also like to call on the relevant domestic departments to strengthen the protection of film and television copyrights..."

This is sublimation!

This can elevate you to the level of copyright protection. Director Wang is in a commanding position. With this vision, no other director in China can compare!

At this time, Reporter Li had completely surrendered to Wang Quan's jeans, not to mention that later Wang Quan also revealed that he and his friends had founded a film company called "Dragon Head Up" in Hollywood, and were recruiting people, and would soon launch the company's entrepreneurial films, etc. .

Not far away, Meghan looked at the elated female reporter and spit on the ground, hum, Bichi!

When Li Xiulian left, she held Wang Quan's hand reluctantly, "Director Wang, I revise the manuscript very quickly. I can publish it tonight at the latest, which is the morning of Beijing time."

Beijing, morning, Beijing Film Academy.

Although the official start of school has not yet come, just after the fifth day of the fifth year of the Lunar New Year, graduating students can’t wait to come from all over the country, some to seek job opportunities, and some to prepare for the graduation ceremony.

Zhu Yawen took a train from his hometown, Jiangsu Yancheng, for a day, and he felt like he was all rotten. He couldn't wait to go into the dormitory and take a shower, but when he saw Luo Jin at the school gate, he got angry. His hometown was also far away, why? He looked well-dressed and had the elegance of a nobleman.

Luo Jin, who was a few years older, smiled gently and said, "I arrived yesterday and spent the night adjusting in the hotel before coming here."

Zhu Yawen said, "If you have money, you can burn it."

The two of them walked into the school together, and then saw a big red banner hanging on the street light on the main road of the school...

(I recommend my friend Luo Xiufanfa’s new book "Zhang San, please respect yourself!"

I, Zhang San, am definitely a good person!

I swear by my eight generations of Legalist ancestors!

What! ? The ancestral grave just exploded! ? )
