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

"Pete, don't worry, I will definitely finish the post-production of "Green Book". We have signed a contract."

"OK, OK, Peter, I will be the first to invite you when the time comes."

"Annie, I want to leave Hollywood. My wife and I are preparing to get pregnant. I will not have so much time to stay in Hollywood in the future, so I will leave directly."

"OK, if I come to Hollywood to make a movie again, I will definitely ask you to cooperate."

"Damon, yes, I have a few scripts here."

"Damon, I really think your acting skills should have won you the Oscar for Best Actor. Unfortunately, I don't have time to work with you anymore. I hope my script can help you win the Oscar for Best Actor."

"Then let's make an appointment!"

"It's better if you are with Leonardo. He knows my home address."

,,,,
,,,,
,,,,
After Guillaume Bray and Koch left, Wanqingshan kept getting calls.

Because Leonardo has already started helping him sell scripts!
After selling the script, everyone guessed that Wan Qingshan was leaving Hollywood, so they called to inquire.

When Matt Damon and Leonardo came over, Wanqingshan received calls from Disney and Paramount, confirming that he was leaving Hollywood, and asked about the movie universe.

Although many viewers are now suspicious of "Ati", in the movie universe, as long as it succeeds at the beginning, even if it fails once in the middle, it will not have much impact.

Wan Qingshan said he would leave half a month for Columbia, so when faced with inquiries from Disney and Paramount, he put off the offer and only said he would consider it carefully.

The reason why he stayed with Columbia for half a month was not because he thought Columbia was better than other film companies, but because he had dealt with Columbia a lot and he knew some of Columbia's little moves better.

He didn't know the little tricks of other film companies. If he was not careful, didn't notice, and was cheated, he would suffer a big loss.

So he would rather lower the price by US$[-] million and leave it for half a month before selling it to Colombia.

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

"Evan, it's a pity that you are leaving Hollywood before I can cooperate with you."

Matt Damon really feels it is a pity. He has always wanted to cooperate with Wan Qingshan, but Wan Qingshan has always cooperated with Leonardo before.

Leonardo won an Oscar, but the opportunity to work with Wan Qingshan was preempted by Pitt.

"I also feel very sorry!"

Wan Qingshan said, leading the two of them into the study and taking out the eight scripts from the safe.

"Damon, you can choose for yourself, one book for $500 million!"

Matt Damon was stunned for a moment. Leonardo only said that Wanqingshan had scripts to sell, but he didn't expect there to be so many.

"Wow, wow, Evan, you actually have so many scripts hidden away!"

Matt Damon's exclamation made Leonardo want to laugh, but he had already bought nine copies of the script.

Out of eight scripts, Matt Damon bought three.

After Matt Damon called the lawyer, signed the contract, and gave the check, Wan Qingshan sent them out.

When he walked to the door, Leonardo suddenly thought of an interesting thing.

"Evan, do you think that in the next few Oscars, you will be nominated for all the Best Screenplay Awards by yourself!"

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "If this really happens, then I will come to the Oscars no matter what."

The next day, Leonardo brought Will Smith and Bale.

There were five remaining scripts, all of which were taken care of by the two of them.

After all the scripts were sold, news spread that Wan Qingshan had sold eight scripts with Oscar potential.

When everyone in Hollywood was marveling at Wan Qingshan's editing talent, news came out that Leonardo had already bought nine scripts before, and several of them were considered by Leonardo to be nominated for Oscars!
This makes everyone in Hollywood stunned. There are seventeen scripts in total, and you are opening a script wholesale department.

After the news came out, the media also knew about it, but maybe the news went astray and it was reported.

'Evan will leave the film and television industry, and "Ati" will be his penultimate film! '

'Evan is a screenwriting genius and sold [-] scripts with Oscar potential! '

'It is rumored that Evan and his wife will start preparing for pregnancy, so he will quit the film and television industry! '

,,,,
,,,,
,,,,
As soon as these media reported it, the domestic media also knew about it and then reported it.

"Wan Qingshan will withdraw from the film and television industry!"

"There is news from Hollywood that Wan Qingshan will withdraw from the film and television industry for the sake of his family!"

,,,,
On December 12th, "Ati" will be officially released.

"Ati" has been in theaters for three days and has already grossed US$500 million at the box office.

There are only a few theaters for on-demand screenings, only [-] theaters.

Five hundred halls, three days, and a box office of 500 million US dollars, the single hall box office has already surpassed "Fire".

Although there is no special effects battle in "Ati", the audience is full of doubts about "Ati".

But because of Wanqing Mountain’s appeal, many people still go there.

Some people watched it, and just like Colombia thought, word of mouth quickly turned around.

The audience's reputation has turned around. Professional film critics have been praising "Ati" from the beginning.

At present, "Ati" has a freshness rating of 89% on the Rotten Tomatoes website, and it has a score of 9.1 on IMDB, which is higher than all previous movies made by Wan Qingshan.

The reputation is good, and it was previously reported that "Ati" will be Wanqingshan's penultimate film, which further stimulated the box office.

"Ati" is officially released, and the opening is Sanqian Pavilion!

The box office is also worthy of 700 Hall. The first day box office in North America was [-] million, ranking first in the single day box office!

"Ati", like "Fire", requires global promotion.

After two days of promotion in North America, the North American box office reached 3000 million, ranking first in the single-day box office for two consecutive days.

The global box office has reached 8000 million, ranking first in the global single-day box office for two consecutive days.

Colombia is completely reassured by these box office figures. The global box office of "Ati" will definitely exceed one billion US dollars!
The global publicity is simply torture for Wan Qingshan. Sleeping and eating are all uncomfortable.

It was not until December 12th that Wan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, because it was the last stop of global promotion.

The last stop of promotion is in China.

Previously, "Fire" put China's promotion before Japan and South Korea, which made it very troublesome to have to fly back after the promotion.

Therefore, for this global promotion of "Ati", Wan Qingshan specifically asked Colombia to put the Chinese promotion at the last stop. After the promotion, he could go home and rest directly.

The distribution agency of "Ati" in China was handed over to Qingshan Publishing Company this time.

This time, there is no need to make up for anything privately. The memorandum was renegotiated before, and the producer’s share of imported blockbusters became 25%.

It’s already 25%. Whoever compensates the producer privately is being taken advantage of.

Wang Zhongjun, who is most likely to be taken advantage of, no longer needs to rely on the release of Wan Qingshan movies to stimulate stock prices.

At the beginning of this year, Huayi and Alibaba Entertainment began in-depth cooperation. Wang Zhongjun began to tell "stories" with Ma Yun.

'Huayi will become China's Disney! '

This story is very beautiful and many people believe it.

Because Ma Yun has publicly announced that she will cooperate with Huayi to establish a new company, Panoramic Entertainment, to build China's Disney.

In the past few years, Ma Yun has often appeared in front of the public, and the media often reported that he started from scratch and now controls a trillion-dollar company.

Ma Yun is extremely popular now, and many people believe in him.

Ma Yun endorsed "Story", and Huayi also engaged in diversified development this year, investing in various companies.

Coupled with the movie peripherals produced by Wan Qingshan before, it stimulated film and television stocks.

Now Huayi's stock price has almost skyrocketed, with a total market value of more than 800 billion!
,,,,
"Ati" came to China to promote, and Zhang Zhao personally came to pick him up.

"Director Wan!" Zhang Zhao called Wan Qingshan and then greeted Liu Yifei and the others with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, please arrange for us to rest first, and then we will directly promote it tomorrow. There is no need to arrange anything else."

Zhang Zhao nodded and whispered, "Mr. Zhang, is there something I need you to handle?"

"Huh? What's the matter?" Wan Qingshan asked in surprise.

"Director Wan, Wang Zhongjun and Jia Hui want to unite with film producers to put pressure on theaters to increase their share of the revenue.

Yesterday, they approached me about this matter and wanted Qingshan Media to join them in putting pressure on the theater chain.

But because Qingshan Cinema is here, I can't make the final decision. I can only wait for you to come back and deal with it. "

Wan Qingshan frowned. Last year, he had already jointly put pressure on the theater chain once. It was obviously successful, but in the end it failed because of the conflict between Yu Dong and Zhang Weiping.

Now again!

"Director Wan, what do you think of this matter?"

Wan Qingshan thought for a while and replied in a low voice, "You reply to them, and I will go talk to them after the promotion of "Ati" is completed."

,,,,,

"Ati" did not do well at the box office in China. There was no special effects battle, and its appeal was greatly reduced.

Ten days after its release, the total box office in China was only [-] million. According to normal box office trends, the total box office may only be around [-] million.

This is still the case with "Journey to the West, Conquering the Demons", "12",,,, these blockbusters, because "Ati" is scheduled to be released on December 15th, all of them are scheduled to be released in January. If there are blockbusters in the same period, "Ati" The box office of "Ti" still needs to drop.

Although the box office was not as good as "Fire", more fans came than "Fire".

There is no way, Liu Yifei is too popular now. After the release of "Ati", some media reported that Liu Yifei was the leading female lead in Hollywood's leading heroine movies, making Liu Yifei surpass Fan Bayi's four-day double ice!
Zeng Li has not been out of the New Year for several years, and no one has mentioned her pear reputation for a long time!
In terms of fame, Liu Yifei really surpasses those of Fan Baiyi, but in terms of awards, she is definitely far behind.

However, now the film and television industry is all about fame, and awards are no longer so important.

In the previous "Fire", Liu Yifei was the co-star, but this time in "Ati", she was the female lead. Her fans crowded the [-]-meter-long red carpet into a wall of people.

'Liu Yifei! '

'Liu Yifei! '

,,,

When she walked on the red carpet, she was surrounded by the excited shouts of Liu Yifei’s fans!

However, no one told Wan Qingshan to let go this time.

It's not because they thought it was okay to hold hands after knowing Wan Qingshan's resume, but because Wan Qingshan didn't walk the red carpet with Liu Yifei at all.

Chen Yumo also came to this premiere, so Wan Qingshan walked the red carpet with Chen Yumo.

Zhang Zhao knew that Wan Qingshan didn't like the promotion, so he didn't prepare a show.

After the red carpet, the movie was shown.

As soon as the movie ended, Wan Qingshan and Liu Yifei came on stage to be interviewed, and then disappeared.

After the promotional activities ended, the Colombian staff who had been accompanying them returned to Los Angeles.

The next morning, Wan Qingshan was going to talk to Wang Zhongjun and others about jointly putting pressure on the theaters, but Guillaume Bray suddenly called.

Although there are still two days left before the half month Wan Qingshan said, Colombia has already made a decision.

18 billion US dollars, Colombia agreed, paying [-] million first, and then [-] billion to be paid in two years.

In order to bring a perfect end to Wan Qingshan's Hollywood career, Columbia will do its best to organize Oscar awards for "Ati". If Wan Qingshan does not receive an individual award, Columbia will compensate him with a compensation of US$3000 million.

18 billion US dollars, far exceeding the original price set by Colombia, 15 billion US dollars!
There is no way, the box office of "Ati" is too good. Although the box office in China is not as good as "Fire", it is far better than "Fire" globally.

In ten days of release, the global box office has reached US$3000 million, with a total box office of US$13 billion, so it should be no problem.

The box office is so high, and other Hollywood companies are also preparing to raise prices. It is rumored that one company is preparing to pay US$25 billion, so Colombia can only accept this price.

Columbia agreed, and Wanqingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Two days after "Ati" was released, with a global box office of nearly [-] million US dollars, companies such as Warner and Fox called him, each offering higher prices for the movie universe in his hands.

Especially Disney, which directly offered US$23 billion!
23 billion. Although Wan Qingshan was very excited, he was even more afraid that he would get nothing in the end.

It's not easy to get money in Hollywood. It would be safer to get 18 billion steadily.

,,,,,

"Director Wan, are you really quitting the film and television industry and quit making movies?"

Wan Qingshan came to the hotel box as requested.

Because of Guillaume Bray's call, there was a little delay. When he arrived, everyone else had already arrived.

When Wang Zhongjun and others saw Wan Qingshan, the first thing they did was not to talk about joint pressure, but to ask about the news reports some time ago.

"No, no, those media reports are just speculation.

Because my wife and I are planning to have a child, we don’t have enough time to go to Hollywood.

So I quit Hollywood, but I still have time at home. "

While Wan Qingshan was answering Wang Zhongjun's words, he glanced at the people in the box. When he saw Han Sanping and Yu Dong, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Han Sanping is the chairman of China Film Group. Although theater chains like Wanda have developed, China Film Group is still a large theater chain. In addition, China Film Group rarely produces movies and acts more as an investor.

In a situation like China Film's, he actually favored the producers!

It's even more strange that Yu Dong is here. The floating account split model was clearly agreed upon last year, but because he and Zhang Weiping changed it back to the floating account plan, he actually had the nerve to put pressure on the theaters!

Wanqingshan just quit Hollywood!

Wang Zhongjun and others were mostly worried. Wan Qingshan returned to China to develop his career. The current situation may have changed. With Wan Qingshan's character, he didn't know what kind of disturbance he would make.

After worrying for a moment, Wang Zhongjun asked, "Director Wan, what do you think about the joint pressure on theaters to increase their share of accounts?"

"I have no objection. Last year, I was on the side of the producers, and it's still the same this year."

Although Wan Qingshan's reaction last year had shown his attitude, it was last year after all.

Now Wan Qingshan's thoughts are the same as last year, and Wang Zhongjun and others breathed a sigh of relief.

The producers have jointly put pressure on it, but without Qingshan Media, which is at the forefront of the film production industry, it would be a joke.

Once Wan Qingshan agreed, nothing would happen. Everyone chatted while eating.

After eating, Wan Qingshan called Zhang Zhao and asked them to fly to Los Angeles with Wang Zhongjun and others to put pressure on him.

When I flew to Los Angeles this time, Wanqingshan brought a lot of people, including Chen Yumo and more than a dozen people from the legal department of the Chen Group who Chen Yumo called over.

Wan Qingshan was a little worried about finding a lawyer in Los Angeles for a US$18 billion deal, so he asked his own family for safety.

After landing in Los Angeles, Wan Qingshan led people to Columbia Company.

The details of the contract were all left to the Chen Group's legal department and Columbia for discussion, while Wan Qingshan immediately rushed to focus on the later stages of the "Green Book".

It's almost January now, and "Green Book" will definitely not be in time for next year's Oscars.

Some time ago, Pitt had no choice but to accept this reality. He could only win the Oscar for Best Actor the year after next.

Although there is no rush now, Wan Qingshan still wants to finish the post-production of "Green Book" quickly. If it is completed early, his affairs in Hollywood will be over, and he can think about domestic affairs.

A few days later, people from the legal departments of Columbia and Chen Group finalized the contract details and drafted the contract.

After Wan Qingshan signed the contract with the Colombian people, Chen Yumo led the people from Chen's legal department back to China.

Then, a few days later, Wan Qingshan was called back home by a phone call from China.

Originally, Wan Qingshan didn't have to go back to China to deal with the matter on the phone, but the precise editing of "Green Book" has been decided, and he doesn't need to keep an eye on it. In addition, there are some matters surrounding domestic movies that he needs to go back to deal with, so he thinks about that. Just go back first. (End of chapter)
