You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 190 Recalling the past, the fateful friendship with Dorothy~ (2, both ordered at 4600)

The version has evolved, and now it is not to deprive the royal power of its dominance, but to drive away the royal power, and let the Greenberg family monopolize the dragon and raise its head.

Wang Quan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't look down upon it. If this aroused the dissatisfaction of the people towards Long Toutou and Dorothy, in the future, if his movie is released in the country, will some people boycott it just because it is produced by Long Toutou?

Never mind that verbal resistance can go a long way, but disgusting people don't.

Wang Quan explained to Yang Mi, "This is normal financing to prepare for listing in the future. Don't listen to other people's nonsense."

"Is it true, you and Boss Tao really didn't have a falling out?"

"We're both fine."

"If you're so good, you can't sleep with her, so I can feel more at ease."

Yang Mi's shocking words left Wang Quan speechless. You are really my good sister!

Without continuing to talk nonsense to her, Wang Quan hung up the phone and asked Xiao Wei, "Is this your first time in the United States?"

"Well," Xiao Wei nodded, "The United States has a lot of guns. Do we want to buy some?"

Buy some more, brother, are you planning to arm a team?

"Let's go home and pick up the car first. We are foreigners and theoretically cannot obtain a gun license. We can ask Dorothy for advice then. She may have some ideas."

In April, the most serious vicious school shooting in the country's history occurred in the United States. The shooting killed 33 people. The assailant was 23-year-old Korean youth Cho Seung-hee. After this incident, the United States has strict regulations on foreigners holding guns. Get up, before this incident, it was quite easy for Wang Quan to get a gun.

Back at the apartment, Wang Quan went to room 1024 first. There was no one when he opened the door, but there was a new set of keys on the table. This was the key to room 1026. Dorothy asked the tenant away in advance at a high price and rented it to Xiao Wei.

Wang Quan asked Xiao Wei to go to his 1026 to pack his luggage first, but Wang Quan started to move around in 1024, something strange happened.

He noticed that there were a lot of things in the refrigerator that Dorothy didn't like to eat at all, and there was an extra pair of slippers.

Wang Quan searched for a long time and finally found a bra on Dorothy's bed. He estimated that it was definitely not Dorothy's. She was not that young!

Could it be that he has a new love?

What's going on, you're even hiding it from me this time? Could it be that our relationship has really faded away after only three months of separation?

Over there, Xiao Wei packed up, and Wang Quan and he picked up the car. Wang Quan drove the Lamborghini and Xiao Wei drove the Mazda.

Because Gadot went to Australia to film "Shark Tank", Wang Quan couldn't see her and had to work in the company.

"Director David is back!" As soon as Wang Quan walked into the company, a strange girl shouted excitedly.

Wang Quan asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Ma Ling's assistant."

Hey, now Ma Ling has an assistant and is promising.

Wang Quan asked, "Is Ma Ling here?"

"here I am."

"Where's Dorothy?"

"Boss Tao is out."

Wang Quan entered Ma Ling's office. She didn't think she had an office before, but now she has one. After all, she is a shareholder. The three new individual shareholders have more shares than she has. After all, her family has money.

"What are you doing?" Wang Quan knocked on the door and came in, then locked the door.

Ma Ling, "I'm writing a script. I don't have time to help you. You can do it yourself. I mean do it yourself."

"Who do you think I am?" Wang Quan said seriously, "I'm just afraid that people from outside will come in and interrupt your train of thought."

"My train of thought has been interrupted by you." Ma Ling pushed with both hands and the chair popped back, as if he was writing a novel.

Wang Quan went over to stop the back of her chair and put his fingers on her ears, "Then you need my help even more. Tell me about your confusion."

"This script I'm writing is that prompt you once gave me."

"Oh, it's the story of the extreme space."

"Yes, I think the name "Buried Alive" is very suitable."

When filming "The Man from Earth" before, Ma Ling once said: You only need one house to film, and there should be more movies like this for newcomers to practice.

Wang Quan said: A house is still big. Have you ever thought about a story happening in a smaller space?

"It's smaller, in a small room?" she asked.

Wang Quan said: "Can it be smaller?"

"How young?"

Later Wang Quan reminded: For example, in the coffin, the male protagonist wakes up and finds himself in the coffin. Can such a story be written?

At that moment, Ma Ling admired Wang Quan enough to call him daddy. It was so awesome. There should be no more extreme space than this!

However, Wang Quan reminded her that arranging a movie in such a small space is still not an easy task.

In addition to the work arranged by the company, Ma Ling has been thinking about this issue during this period. After having a complete idea, she started writing last month and wrote more than 20 pages, which is more than 20 minutes of play.

Wang Quan took a look at it. This was the first time that she, the winner of the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, had created an original screenplay. She was mainly encouraging.

First of all, at the beginning of the story, in addition to the male protagonist who woke up in the coffin, Ma Ling also prepared a mobile phone for him, which was good. Wang Quan didn't tell her this before, but Ma Ling thought of it himself.

Although the whole movie can only have one space and one character, mobile phones can give the story more possibilities, which is an invisible extension to the outside world.

Ma Ling did not set the location on the battlefield. From what I have seen so far, this story has nothing to do with war. The male protagonist in the original version was hopeless and was buried alive on the battlefield. I don’t know where this story will go. Such an ending.

Wang Quan kept nodding until he turned to the latest part, "The pace of this section is slow. There is no plot point for five minutes. The audience will definitely be tired. Although this movie does not rely too much on the box office in theaters, even if it is at home When watching, you also need to master the rhythm, after all, this is a commercial film."

After the two communicated for a while, Wang Quan asked, "Where did Dorothy go?"

"She brought the actors on the show." Ma Ling said.

Dorothy has high hopes for the movie and has invested a lot in publicity. The production cost of the film is 30 million, but the publicity cost is at least 30 million. The general publicity cost is 30% of the production cost. Boss Tao is really willing to go all out.

She was not even prepared to spend any more money. After all, their direct competitor was the 130 million-cost "Fantastic Four 2."

Although Long Toutou has also spent money on traditional TV and newspaper media, the focus of "Twilight" promotion is still the Internet, which is also the easiest to reach their audience of teenagers.

Dorothy has a lot of action and has almost attracted all the viewers of the right age, so it started promoting it on TV stations again, preparing to attract more viewers, and at least make the first week box office better.

There are blockbusters every week during the North American summer season. If the box office is not filled in the first week, there will be limited growth in the future.

And Dorothy is still trying to steal the first-week box office title from "Fantastic Four 2."

It's early June, and the summer season has begun. The new movie in theaters this week is the comedy "Knocked Up," produced by Universal and starring Seth Rogen.

Although the performance is acceptable, the box office of a movie with a cost of 30 million exceeded 30 million in the first weekend. However, it has been beaten by last week's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and did not perform well.

The North American box office of "Caribbean 3" has already exceeded 200 million, and it is estimated that there is still a surplus of 100 million, which will not affect "Twilight" in half a month.

The main film next week is Warner's "Ocean's Thirteen", which is the third part of "Ocean's Eleven". King Quan's good friend, Casey Affleck, the actor of "Escape Room" is one of the "Ocean's Thirteen". one.

At this time, Cassie has been promoted to the fourth male lead, only after George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon, and he has more roles. It seems that the success of "Escape Room" has a great impact on him. There are still some positive impacts.

In addition, he also received more than 1 million yuan in extra dividends due to the box office sharing agreement, which was the highest in his acting career. After many years of acting, he finally reached one-tenth of the box office revenue of his elder brother, which made him cry.

So he happily signed a contract for the second film and prepared to create greater glory.

After staying in the company for half a day, I got to know some new employees under Ma Ling's introduction. Unfortunately, I didn't meet Ted Salando, the new executive of the TV series department. He was in New Mexico and followed "Breaking Bad" throughout the process. crew.

When Dorothy wanted to find someone who knew TV dramas, Wang Quan recommended this candidate to her and asked her to poach him from Netflix.

King Power once bought the rights to adapt the series of novels "House of Cards" by writer and politician Michael Dobbs, and Ted Sarando is the executive who will promote this project at Netflix in the future.

It was time to get off work. Seeing that Ma Ling had no intention of inviting him to her house for coffee, Wang Quan simply went home with Xiao Wei. After a day of flying, it was time to rest.

While she was resting, Wang Quan heard the door open and a woman came to her bed.

"You are asleep, then I won't disturb you."

Wang Quan grabbed the visitor and dragged her to his bed, "Tao'er, why are you pinching me?"

"Isn't this busy~" Dorothy lay casually on the royal bed, "I heard that you have already been to the company. How about it? Isn't it a scene full of vitality and everything is competing!"

Wang Quan closed his eyes, "Well, you managed the company very well during my absence, but your reputation in China is not very good."

"Domestic China? The reputation is not very good? How could it be possible? I am a mixed-race child, and my father is Chinese." Dorothy seems to understand the different attitudes of Chinese people towards mixed-race children. People like her are male and female, and they are so beautiful. It's pretty, and it's very popular.

Then Wang Quan talked about the public opinion in the country at this time. Dorothy was confused, and finally she couldn't laugh or cry, "This is nothing! I am even more unjust than Dou E!"

"So I thought, when the time comes for domestic publicity, could you go back to China, speak a few fluent Mandarin on a TV show, and take a few photos of eating Chinese food to ensure that your image can be reversed," Wang Quan finally said Opening his eyes, "It would be more perfect if I could say "I love China" at the end.

Dorothy rolled her eyes, "But I haven't been to the mainland yet. Why don't you go back?"

"I have to be responsible for the promotion of North America, and I will have to go sooner or later. My parents will receive you on my behalf."

Dorothy was wondering why this routine was the same as when Gadot met her parents.

Finally, Dorothy nodded in agreement, "Then I'll take a trip. If Mainland China can become the largest overseas ticket warehouse for "Twilight", then it's worth my trip."

Seeing that she agreed, Wang Quan said again, "Then let me clarify it for you on the blog first, so as to save you from being thrown rotten eggs when you go back. But how to clear everyone's misunderstanding about you is a problem."

"Just say that we have a good relationship." Dorothy said directly.

"What's great~" Wang Quan, "How about we lie down and take a bed photo and send it out."

"Go to hell!"

Wang Quan chuckled and said, "How about I write down the life and death experiences we had together."

Dorothy patted Wang Quan and said, "You can write it, but there are some things you can't write. You understand."

"understand."

Wang Quan didn't sleep anymore and immediately got out of bed to practice the keyboard.

When Wang Quan first came to study abroad, Dorothy, an old friend, took him to play in the Mojave Desert, but something went wrong. They encountered the wild sands of the desert, got separated from the tour guide, and had no food or water on them.

He was not finally rescued until two days later.

This is the fateful relationship between Wang Quan and Dorothy. No one was killed, but it was close.

Then I attached a photo of the first time the two met. At that time, Wang Quan was still a young high school student. When he came to the United States to study, he met Dr. Tao Weilong, and through Tao Weilong, he met her beautiful daughter who was studying at the University of Southern California.

I asked Dorothy to check it over, and she was quite impressed, "You still have this photo."

“It doesn’t take up much space in my computer, so I’ll send it out if it’s no problem.”

"Well, send it."

Click to send, King Quan is in mourning.

When he first met Dorothy, Wang Quan's love was already in full swing. He fell in love with the mixed-race girl with neat short hair at the first sight.

Later, the school offered him an exchange opportunity at the University of Southern California, and he worked hard to get it. It was mainly for the movie, but he also had a certain relationship with Dorothy.

After coming to the United States, Wang Quan quickly confessed his love to Dorothy, but Dorothy surprised Xiao Wang by pulling what Wang Quan thought was her best friend into a passionate kiss.

He was rejected, and the royal power couldn't say anything yet. There was no way to force this kind of thing.

So they became good friends, and even when Dorothy broke up and was sad, Wang Quan risked his life to accompany her to the desert no-man's land.

Then we encountered that overwhelming sandstorm.

Wang Quan had eaten a full meal before entering the desert, but Dorothy was on an empty stomach. She couldn't hold on at first. Wang Quan told her that he still had some high-protein, calorie-rich food. He had saved it for a month and could give it to her. She saves her life first.

Dorothy was overjoyed and didn't care whether it was expired or not. However, when the royal power was taken out, she almost collapsed, but in order to survive, she still ate it.

So they successfully waited for the rescue team.

It can be said that Wang Quan has saved Dorothy's life, which is why he has absolute trust in Dorothy, but this paragraph is not suitable for publicity to netizens.

After finishing writing, Dorothy was looking at the comments from netizens who suddenly realized that Wang Quan suddenly asked, "Tao'er, I have a girlfriend again recently~"
