You don't understand the happiness of the director

When Liu Xiaoli returned home from shopping, she found Wang Quan and Liu Yifei fighting around the house with lightsabers.

Wang Quan is not as good at fighting as Liu Yifei, but Sissi has received professional martial arts training, and her moves are very cool.

Liu Xiaoli watched for a while, then started to applaud when the two stopped, "Are you playing a Star Wars game?"

"Mom, have you also watched Star Wars?" Liu Yifei was surprised.

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes, "I have been in the United States for so many years, how can I not know about Star Wars~"

She saw a lot of Star Wars derivatives in the living room, which was even more strange. She hadn't heard that Xiao Wang particularly liked the Star Wars series, and she didn't see any movie peripherals at home.

Wang Quan put his sword back, "Actually, Long Toutou wants to acquire Lucasfilm. The competition is quite fierce and there are many opponents, so I want to know more about the Star Wars series."

"Ah!" Liu Yifei and his wife were both surprised. They didn't expect that there was such a relationship.

Of course, Liu Yifei is proud that her boyfriend's company can acquire such a well-known film label.

But Liu Xiaoli is still not sure about the influence of this series. "Isn't Star Wars already finished filming? This company shouldn't be worth much money anymore, right?"

Wang Quan smiled and said, "As long as you want to shoot, you can continue to shoot, and it is not a problem to break a billion dollars casually, and derivatives can be easily marketed around the world."

Liu Xiaoli said "Ah" again, surprised by the potential of this series. Although Wang Quan himself has three movies that have exceeded one billion worldwide, the number of movies that have exceeded one billion worldwide can be counted on both hands.

You must know that the first "Star Wars: Prequels" 12 years ago had a box office of more than 900 million. The current market has expanded a lot compared to that year, and has cooled down for so many years. The sentimental party can harvest another big wave. .

I chatted about Star Wars with the two girls for a while, and in the evening Liu Yifei played role-playing with Wang Quan for a while.

Although Liu Yifei agreed when the love was strong, she kicked Wang Quan afterwards, "I hate it so much!"

At night, Sissi fell asleep, and Wang Quan continued to watch "Star Wars" on the movie theater. The next day, he got together with his agent, Rafi, and his family.

Rafi and Anne took their young son Adam, and Wang Quan took Sissi and Mimi.

Sissi is already a member of the William Morris Endeavor Agency, and has received several endorsement contracts in Europe and the United States. However, Mimi does not have an agency in Hollywood yet, and she has now participated in a major Hollywood A-level production, and it is time to Integrate into the rules of Hollywood.

With Lafite's current position at William Morris Endeavor, this is a trivial matter. After that, Lafite can handle the contract negotiations with Netflix for "My Love from the Star".

When she heard that the Hollywood agency only took 10% of the remuneration, Yang Mi said that she was too conscientious. In their company, Power World Media, she was the only agent who took 10% of the commission. It would be great if other newcomers could get half as soon as they joined the company.

However, after playing a few roles and gaining some popularity, she will increase the artist's share even if she has not yet fulfilled her contract. Many of the young girls and boys in the company call her "Sister Mi" out of sincerity.

Later, Wang Quan had an appointment with Scarlett Johansson and showed her the script outline idea for "Lucy" ("Superbody"), the Hollywood companion piece of "The Witch".

To be honest, the story idea is quite average, not to say how amazing it is. It is just an ordinary cool movie, focusing on action scenes. This is what director Xiangjiang is good at. However, the relationship between Wang Quan and Scarlett is very strong. After the script is revised, Scarlett verbally agreed to the project, and when Wang Quan sent Scarlett home, he was invited to have a cup of coffee.

Wang Quan asked Scarlett what she was busy with recently and learned that she was taking a break from filming the biopic "Hitchcock."

Scarlett's career plan for herself is to make more non-commercial, low-budget movies in addition to Marvel movies to prepare for awards.

So this shows how loyal she was in accepting the script of "Super Body", a commercial film.

The royal power is also very loyal, wields it wantonly, and works hard.

When he returned home, Wang Quan saw Yang Mi and Liu Yifei waving lightsabers, and Alice was also there, looking at the two eldest sisters with admiration.

The three of them were having so much fun, Wang Quan felt relieved and started watching Star Wars with his eyes closed again.

I have been doing this for the past two days, and I have quickly transformed from an ordinary viewer who has only watched "Star Wars" to a "Star Wars" know-it-all, who can tell something about every scene.

After dinner, Wang Quan was about to send Alice back to Gadot when she called, "You can leave Alice at your place overnight to see if you can be a good father."

Wang Quan was excited and a little nervous when he heard that he would be raising the baby alone, "Then Alice won't make trouble for you."

Jadot raised his eyebrows, "It depends on your ability. If you can't do it in one night, why are you talking about bringing it back to China?"

Wang Quan then told Liu Yifei about the incident, "Sissi, I can't sleep with you tonight."

Yang Mi's face lit up, could she sleep with me?

Wang Quan continued, "You and Mimi can sleep together. I want to sleep with Alice. She won't go back tonight."

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile, "Alice, you are welcome to be a guest here~"

Liu Xiaoli shook her head, silly girl, you wouldn't say that I would add you as a stepmother. You will be a stepmother in the future. Since this cannot be changed, then you must please this little girl.

Liu Yifei felt that this was a very precious opportunity for Wang Quan to be alone with her daughter, so she couldn't disturb it.

In order to be alone with Alice, Wang Quan prepared many stories, Green's, Andersen's, and his previous comic "Frozen" based on "The Snow Queen".

Sure enough, the little girl became more and more energetic as she listened, saying that she liked Olaf the most, and pestered herself to tell her about Olaf's extra plot. However, Gadot's instructions to her said that Alice should go to bed before 10 o'clock, otherwise she would Not tall.

Just kidding, my daughter’s slender legs are at least 1.7 meters tall!

But it was indeed time to sleep. Wang Quan was holding Alice in his arms, trying to shake the child unconscious. Unexpectedly, she became more energetic. She felt that this was a good idea, "I want it more, I want it more!"

"How about riding a big horse~" Wang Quan knelt on the bed and put his daughter on his back. At the same time, he lowered his head and played with WeChat and sent Liu Yifei's voice "Are you asleep?"

"No, Mimi is talking to me about her filming. Is Alice still awake?"

"No, I'm so energetic. It seems I'm not tired enough during the day."

Liu Yifei, "How about I ask Sister Li to go up and help you."

"How to help?"

"Sister Li said that when I was little, she would sing lullabies to me if I didn't want to sleep, and I would fall asleep quickly."

"Ah, it's so awesome, haven't you learned?"

"How can I study while I'm asleep?"

It makes so much sense!

After a while, Sister Xiaoli came. She chatted with Alice for a while, and then started to sing to her. It seemed to be a dialect tune from Hubei Province. Wang Quan couldn't understand it, and neither did Alice, but there was something unique in the singing. The magic made both father and daughter sleepy.

When Wang Quan woke up the next day, he didn't know how he fell asleep, but looking at the little feet as white as jade in front of him, he kissed them hard.

Alice was sleeping sideways on the bed. She was kissed by her father, kicked with her little foot, and placed her other little foot directly on Wang Quan's forehead.

Wang Quan loved her so much that he couldn't bear to wake his daughter up early and helped her adjust her sleeping position. At this time, the door opened a crack and it was Mimi.

Wang Quan said "shh" and went out to talk to her.

Yang Mi, "I don't have to film this weekend, so I can help you take care of Alice."

"Okay, let's invite Sissi to come with us. Where is she?"

"Still sleeping," Yang Mi laughed out loud, "You don't know, yesterday after Sister Xiaoli came out from your place, she went to our room and taught Sissi the lullaby she listened to when she was a child, but she ended up learning We both fell asleep."

"You fell asleep listening to it, so that's not good."

"But I woke up early." Mimi said proudly.

Today I spent a day out with Xianmi and Alice, and the day for Sissi to return to China is coming soon.

However, Wang Quan and Dorothy had an appointment with George Lucas the next day, and they didn't know how long they would be busy.

These days Wang Quan is busy learning about "Star Wars", while Dorothy is thinking about how to gain more advantages in competition with other giants.

"David, we don't have a theme park. This is a minus point!" Dorothy said.

If Lucas returns to Universal or Disney, Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark can build theme parks in the two amusement parks and continue to maintain and expand the influence of these two IPs. This is a big advantage that Longtou does not have. .

Wang Quan said with a smile, "Then let's get one too. I think we can get one in China first. Disney is building a park in the Magic City. Let's get one in the capital, one in the south and one in the north. It happens to be right next to the Mending Sky Film. There is a large piece of open space, not far from the terminal of Line 7. We can cooperate with the government to extend the subway, so that the traffic problem can be solved."

Dorothy was stunned, "Have you had this idea for a long time?"

Wang Quan nodded, "The Twilight Saga, Escape Room, and Illumination Entertainment's Despicable Me series are all good themes for theme parks. There are many high-quality resources in this area in our movies. Didn't Universal Studios want to cooperate with "Inception" before? I didn't agree. I just thought that we could do it ourselves in the future. Now we also want to add a royal "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series. Although we have only been established for a short time, we have a rich background. It’s not enough, but it’s enough for a theme park, let alone Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark.”

Dorothy smiled and said, "I have also thought about this carefully. We have no experience in theme parks, so we can attract cousin Hussein to enter!"

"Indeed, Boss Hou is a good player in this field, and escape rooms have made him a lot of money, but the scale is still too small."

Dorothy showed her plan, "But my plan is to open the first store in the United States."

Wang Quan, "Let's stick to China. The United States is somewhat saturated with similar products, but China is in short supply. Even in a city as big as Beijing, only one Happy Valley is big enough for similar products."

After a heated discussion between the two, Dorothy changed her plan, "Okay, then in China, you can handle it, right?"

Wang Quan laughed, "I still have some face now."

And if he doesn't use that land to develop a theme park, Universal Studios will move on sooner or later, so it's better to give him a break.

After the two went through the process again in the morning, they met George Lucas at Lucasfilm in San Francisco in the afternoon. At the age of 67, his hair and beard were white, but he was still handsome and tough.

Lucasfilm was founded by him when he was less than 30 years old. It has a history of 40 years. Although it is not comparable to the Big Six, it is still compared to Lionsgate, DreamWorks, Miramax and others. Much longer.

He just sent away the people from Disney yesterday, who showed great sincerity, and Disney has acquired both Pixar and Marvel in recent years. Marvel can't see much for the time being, but Pixar is doing well, "Up" ” and “Toy Story 3” are both very good.

You must know that Pixar also has a close relationship with Lucasfilm. It was Jobs who bought the animation department of Lucasfilm from Lucas, which led to the development of the brilliant Pixar.

It would be nice if Pixar and Lucasfilm could become a family again.

However, after seeing the person with Long Toutou today, he was a little shaken.

King David is indeed a talented director that is rare in the film industry in four thousand years. When visiting the company, he can point out which Star Wars it is and which minute it takes place in any picture.

"You like Star Wars too?"

"It's love!"

Although King Quan is not currently the number one director in the world, at least he is invincible in terms of box office. Even though "The Adventures of Tintin" has grossed 300 million worldwide, Spielberg is still 100 million away from King Quan's record. The gap between the knives.

The key is that he, like Spielberg, is a genius who has both box office and awards. Lucas has always regretted that when he made "Star Wars 3", he wanted his good friend Spielberg to direct, but he refused. , and I can’t direct anymore. If such a high-quality director can be combined with "Star Wars", maybe Star Wars can continue to be glorious for another forty years.

Thinking of this, he was more attentive when communicating with Dorothy King Quan. To his surprise, Long Toutou was well prepared. They were even preparing to build a Universal Studios and Disneyland in China for Star Wars that would be bigger than Los Angeles. A larger theme park!

Although he understands that it will definitely include Long Toutou’s own movie IP, there is no doubt that Star Wars will definitely occupy a large proportion.

A movie as good as "Star Wars" is not well appreciated in China, which has always been a regret for Lucas.

This move may help this series of movies open up the Chinese market!

Of course, such a large company cannot be negotiated in a day or two. It is normal to negotiate for a year and a half. Today, we have not even reached the quotation stage.

Wang Quan and Dorothy spent the night in San Francisco and visited Lucas the next day before leaving.

Judging from his attitude, at least Long Toutou has become a relatively high candidate in his mind.

The day after they returned to Los Angeles, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were going back to China.

It's not that there is anything going on in the country, and Wang Quan is also going to be busy. The two of them already know that Wang Quan is going to operate a TV series, and they know that this TV series is very important to Netflix's stock price.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoli did not care to evaluate whether Wang Quan's move was suspected of lowering her social status, and quickly bought Netflix, whose stock price was at the bottom!

After seeing off his girlfriend and his wife, Wang Quan and Dorothy flew to North Carolina on the east coast to visit the crew of "The Hunger Games" that was filming here...

Guaranteed!
