China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 102 Guan Dao!This could create an entire detective universe!

In early June, Guan Ling returned to China.

This return to China was very low-key, because Guan Ling did not participate in the BJ College Student Film Festival or the Hong Kong Film Awards. He has been filming dramas in Hollywood, so there was no fanfare for his return this time.

But at the airport, Guan Ling was still blocked.

"Director Guan, this is Director Guan, Director Guan has returned to China!"

A reporter discovered that Guan Ling was not covering up anything. He probably wanted to take pictures of other people at first, but after seeing Guan Ling, he decisively chose Guan Ling.

As for the star that was shot at the beginning, roll the ball on him!

Recently, there has been a lot of news about Lingyun Media. After winning the Oscar and being bombarded by Huayi, Chen Guofu switched to Lingyun, and "Ming Dynasty 1566" became a hit. When the news reporter most wanted to interview Guan Ling, Guan Ling turned around and slipped away to the United States.

This makes it impossible for everyone to do anything.

When they saw Guan Ling, all these reporters rushed forward with pale faces!
"Director Guan, are you returning to China now because the rumored $[-] million blockbuster has been completed?"

"Director Guan, do you have any movies to continue shooting next? Has the time for the release of new Hollywood movies in China been determined?"

"Director Guan, I wonder if you have seen "Spider-Man 3"? The production cost of this movie is close to 1.5 million US dollars. However, the domestic box office has only reached less than [-] million US dollars. Director Guan confirmed that he spent a huge amount of money to film it. Can your movie recoup its cost? Or does Director Guan think that the cooperation between Cheng Long and you can be like a Marvel blockbuster and win box office around the world?"

Many reporters were waiting for Guan Ling to talk about something, but Guan Ling only answered very politely and would definitely not disclose the specific details.

But the reporter obviously didn't want to let Guan Ling go, and he still wanted to stir up trouble.

"Director Guan, what do you think of Director Feng Xiaogang's 'dog theory'?"

"Doing dog talk? What do you mean by doing dog talk? I didn't understand what you were talking about. Is it something about Huayi? Then I don't want to comment."

Guan Ling's answer was actually quite appropriate, but the reporters were already excited, and some of them had already captured first-hand information.

I finally squeezed out of the airport and got into the car sent by the company.

In the car, Fang Ping was obviously a little tired, but he still came to pick him up in person. In the process, he could discuss with Guan Ling the specific details of the second and third rounds of "Ming Dynasty 1566".

"When the news interviewed me just now, what did Feng Xiaogang say about being a dog? What do you mean?" Guan Ling asked as soon as he got in the car.

The reporter was indeed confused by his question.

Fang Ping said: "Last month, no, it was the end of April, Feng Xiaogang was an award guest at the BJ College Student Film Festival. He criticized the audience for watching pirated films, saying, 'I have also watched pirated films in the past. If you say from this level I'm not even as good as a dog, and I don't have any objections. There's a big fuss online about this, and everyone is criticizing this guy."

Guan Ling smiled when he heard this. Feng Xiaogang was like this. He didn't have any control over his words. He always thought he was awesome, but he didn't know that without the audience, he wouldn't even count.

As a director in his previous life, he also saw pirated copies.

Whether it's a movie or a novel, this is normal.

Otherwise, in the future, no one will say that they owe someone a movie ticket.

"Who won the subsequent broadcast rights of "The Ming Dynasty"?"

"It was originally broadcast on CCTV 1. CCTV 1 originally wanted to take it, but our price was too high and they already made enough, so there was no cooperation. CCTV 8 wanted to broadcast it, and I wanted to buy it out, but I still felt that We asked for a high price, so we only got the second round. Now Tianjin Satellite TV, Hubei Satellite TV and others are competing for the third round of broadcasting. The online copyright is still in our hands, but a rough estimate is that the second and third round broadcasting rights of "The Ming Dynasty" It can be sold for about 7000 million."

When CCTV competes for TV series, it actually dares to compete.

The popularity of "The Ming Dynasty" on the Internet, as well as people's love and heated discussion about the Ming Dynasty at this stage.

It is also related to "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", "Returning to the Ming Dynasty to Become a Prince", "Correcting the Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty", "Correcting the Sixteen Ministers of the Ming Dynasty", "Fifteen Mysterious Cases of the Ming Dynasty", "Appreciating the Ming Dynasty", "Emperors of the Ming Dynasty", "Alternative History of the Ming Dynasty", "Zhang Juzheng appeared in the Ming Dynasty", "Seven Faces of the Ming Dynasty", "Emperor, civil servants and eunuchs - the "love triangle" of the political situation of the Ming Dynasty", etc. The book is inseparable from its popularity.

The Ming Dynasty fever started last year.

It reached its peak this year.

"7000 million is enough." Guan Ling is actually quite satisfied with this price. After all, the Internet copyright is still in his hands.

TV dramas at this stage generally do not generate much revenue. After all, unlike in the future, producers cannot directly negotiate cooperation with advertisers.

This is why people admire film directors.

Because as long as movie directors get up quickly, they can make money much faster than TV series producers.

This situation did not gradually change until after 2010, because the increase in actors' remuneration greatly increased the rate at which TV dramas attract stars.

And actors are the most profitable money-grabbing beasts.

Guan Ling did this drama smoothly, mainly to prevent it from getting dusty, and now the effect has been achieved.

Moreover, it has more than doubled the income for Ling Yun, and the effect is really good.

"7000 million is just a preliminary estimate. In fact, we have contacted many local stations. We have signed a cooperation agreement with Yangba. During their broadcast period, other local stations cannot broadcast it, so Yangba should be able to collect a lot of advertising fees until the results come out. The specifics will depend on how many local stations will broadcast it in the future. The more local stations there are, the more revenue we will earn. Although the local stations don’t give much, as long as the volume is large, we can still make more money.”

Fang Ping explained and talked about how popular the Ming Dynasty was.

"How popular is the Ming Dynasty now? If I tell you, Director Guan, you might not believe it. Many TV drama production companies are preparing to produce historical TV dramas about the Ming Dynasty. CCTV is preparing to film "Zheng He's Voyages to the West". I think there is history Experts have said that this popularity is the peak reached by "The Ming Dynasty".

It’s quite fun to talk about. Just two days ago, a cultural relic from the Ming Dynasty was unearthed in Shanghai, and it was identified as an anti-Japanese hero from the Jiajing period. The Internet was quite amused.It added another fire to "The Ming Dynasty". "

"How do you say it?" Guan Ling was also curious.How can cultural relics be related to "The Ming Dynasty"?
Fang Ping found the picture on the webpage,
"That's it. Take a look, Director Guan. The appraisers checked the county records and found out that the tomb contained a fifth-grade scholar named Li Rujie. However, a thing called a 'silver incense box' was unearthed inside, which looked exactly like a beer cap. , many breweries now have to contact Yangba for advertising.”

Director Guan was shocked when he saw the picture. If Fang Ping hadn't told him this, he would have admitted his mistake.

After chatting for a while, we found out that Ning Hao and others had already gone to Xiamen.

Talking about Chen Guofu, he is currently wandering through the scripts left by Guan Ling, and has already begun to prepare to make a movie. As for the director, he will discuss with Guan Ling whether to recruit from outside or something else. If it doesn't work, he will do it himself. .

But these days he is busy arranging movies. There are too many scripts and he has to estimate the box office. He needs to take his time to at least ensure that the movie is completed and the revenue is maximized.

So which one to make first is something he needs to consider.

The car didn't drive very fast, and when we came back it was just in time for noon. There were a lot of cars on the road. As we were walking in the car, Han Sanpin called.

"Director Guan, have you returned to China? Have you finished filming the scenes in the United States?"

"It's done. It seems that Producer Zhang was in the United States with me during this period, but he was exhausted. I thought he told you? But I just got off the plane, how did you, Director Han, know the news?"

"It's a big deal for you to come back this time. There's a turmoil on the Internet." Han Sanpin said with a smile. "Why are you causing trouble again?"

"I came back so low-key this time, what happened?" Guan Ling expressed injustice. "Look, there's a lot of criticism on the Internet again." Han Sanpin laughed and laughed, "Come back and sit down with China Film Group. I have something I want to talk to you about."

After hanging up the phone, Guan Ling motioned to Fang Ping to open the portal.

The news on the portal shocked Guan Ling.

"Director Guan has returned to China! Do you want to come back and tear down the golden signboard of Huayi?"

"Director Guan appeared at the Beijing Airport, and it seems that the movie he collaborated with Cheng Long has finished filming!"

"Exciting! Director Guan directly ridiculed Feng Xiaogang during the airport interview, saying he didn't want to comment on Huayi's dogs!"

"Fuck!" Guan Ling was stunned.

The first part doesn’t matter, you can post it however you want. What does the last one mean?
Misinterpret, stir up trouble.

This really left Guan Ling speechless, and Guan Ling ate a turtle directly.

This was something that was not mentioned at all, but it was treated like a real thing by the other party. Guan Ling couldn't respond. Should he say that he didn't scold Feng Xiaogang?As for what?Bow to Huayi?

Guan Ling won't do this. They can report it however they like.

But this reporter Guan Ling couldn't let him go.

The news content of this last piece of news has nothing to do with the title. The reporter just used his ignorance of the new topic at the airport to deliberately cause a scolding war.

This guy is pretty awesome and is proficient in the hot future Internet marketing methods.

However, Guan Ling felt uncomfortable when this kind of marketing fell on Guan Ling.

"Call this website and ask them to delete this false news and apologize. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to enter the interview area for any news from Lingyun Media in the future."

After all, Fang Ping was from the Legal Department and was the best at this, so he nodded in agreement.

But news on the Internet does spread quickly, and news on the Internet has spread everywhere.

Lingyun Media hasn’t arrived yet.

The news about Guan Ling's return to China has become a mess on the Internet.

Especially the matter of Guan Ling's bombardment of Feng Xiaogang was shared by many websites.

There were also reporters blocking the door of Lingyun Media.

Guan Ling got out of the car with a gloomy face.

"Director Guan, do you think Feng Xiaogang is Huayi's dog?"

Is there really any media close by that dares to ask.

"Peers don't evaluate peers like this." Guan Ling answered this question and then entered the company.

I chatted with Chen Guofu. Chen Guofu is worthy of being a traitor in Chinese-language movies in Colombia. He has organized the movie very well.

"Director Guan, my suggestion is to make the "Detective Dee" series of movies first. I read the script you gave me carefully. I think this series should be made sooner rather than later, and it can be made into a continuing series."

During the chat, Guan Ling realized that he was ignorant. Although two "Detective Dee Renjie" films have been released, and the third one will be released next year, the world's first Dee Renjie movie was produced in the United States. The United States was based on a Dutch novel. Adapted from the novel.

This is "The Case of Di Gong in the Tang Dynasty". Its author, Roppet Gonzalez, is a Dutch diplomat, sinologist, novelist, and a China expert. He spent 18 years writing this masterpiece of English literature.

Brilliantly written.

Guan Ling didn't check this carefully, but he couldn't help but be stunned after hearing it.

China did not realize the value of this book. The other party published English and Japanese versions, but they failed to impress the Chinese publishers.In the end, it was Singaporeans who released the Chinese version first.

In China, the Detective Dee series of movies started with Xiying's "Blood Splattered on the Screen".

Since then, there has been no success in movies.

After seeing the script, Chen Guofu spent several months researching and analyzing the contents of several scripts, and also learned about a series of books and film and television copyright elements about Dee Renjie, and finally thought that the drama might be released as soon as possible. On the schedule.

"There are many stories in the Detective Dee series. Di Renjie is even the ancient Chinese version of 007. The half of the Chinese character Di means Xia, which represents the sentiment of the Chinese people. The right half of the traditional Chinese character Jie means Jie, which represents the rebellious spirit."

Chen Guofu looked at Guan Ling excitedly, "Director Guan, the script you crafted contains fearless courage and firm belief. I believe that he will become the most unique existence in the Chinese film industry!"

Guan Ling was shocked, but when he saw Chen Guofu's excited heart and trembling hands, he couldn't help but ignite a blazing flame along with him.

"Then how about we shoot this?"

Guan Ling has been so busy lately that he really hasn't thought about which movies he wants to make. He wants to go to Hollywood to make a movie with Cheng Long first so that he can completely establish himself.

But Chen Guofu's words also made him a little excited.

It seems good to have one in the country.

After all, it will take at least half a year before "2012" is released.

"I have another idea." Chen Guofu nodded and said hoarsely,

“In the past two years, martial arts movies have begun to decline, mainly because there are no more films to be made.

But I think the Dee Renjie series is different. It not only has the mantle of a martial arts movie, but also has gorgeous martial arts action. It also has the arena of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the customs and culture of the Tang Dynasty, and various elements of suspense, detective, thriller and even fantasy. , there are strange beasts from the mountains and seas, magical weapons, superb martial arts, and all kinds of beautiful women surrounding it.

Sometimes, I really can't help but admire you.

You told me that you want Chinese-language films to go global.At first I thought it was just a cliché, a lie.

But after I dug into the scripts, I think you're right.

As long as we pay a little more attention, the six characters of surprise, surprise, strangeness, strangeness, mystery (suspense) and danger will be highlighted in these movies. I am confident that we can do them well!

Director Guan, your ideas inspire me. I think that through Dee Renjie, we can create an entire detective universe! "
