China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 104: Tan Ban’s Crazy Racing

Before leaving, Guan Ling went to China Film Academy. Han Sanpin said that he had something to talk about and he must come to ask about the situation.

When he arrived at China Film Academy, Han Sanpin was more elegant than when he met him a while ago. As Director Han, he has great power. He has been making big moves recently, and now he has the aura of a superior person in every move he makes.

But it was obvious that this temperament was not used on Guan Ling.

Because he called Zhang Song and asked about the situation of "2012",

Zhang Song's answer made Han Sanpin feel heartbroken.

"Awesome, so awesome. Director Han, I dare say that only Guan Ling is the director in China, and only Guan Ling dares to make such a blockbuster. I have seen some clips, and I can only say that this movie can completely Stir up China’s film market!”

After Guan Ling came to the office, Han Sanpin asked with a smile.

"I heard from Zhang Song that the special effects of "2012" are very good. When will you show me? I'm very curious."

Han Sanpin, who loves blockbusters, is eager to see the finished film.

"You called me to China Film Academy just to ask this question?" Guan Ling was speechless.

He thought something was serious.

"Answer the question first." Han Sanpin put on the big red robe for Guan Ling. Guan Ling saw that he really had something to talk about.

"Currently, the scenes in the United States have been filmed. In a few days, I will go to Tibet to shoot some scenes in the snowy mountains. After this part is completed, the photographer will need to go to France to shoot some shots of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. , but I didn’t go. In the end, I sent people to the Indian side. The environment there was difficult to simulate in the United States, and it was too expensive to do it with special effects. It was better to fly there and shoot it.

Once all these are completed, I estimate that the special effects will be about half done. It is now early June. If time goes well, the film should be completed in August. "

Guan Ling estimated the time and it will be completed in August, but he still has to confirm the editing work of the finished film. Although Guan Ling has some editing rights, Fox also sent people, so Guan Ling will definitely have to Keep an eye on it, if there is a problem, Guan still needs to argue and make corrections.

"It still takes so long." Han Sanpin thought for a while and said, "Then it's still the Lunar New Year period. This year, more blockbusters will be introduced. "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" will be released at the end of the month, and "Transformers" will be released in July. , "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" will be released in August. In the following months, your movie will suffer a bit of a box office loss, so the Lunar New Year period is better."

"I was originally thinking about the Lunar New Year period." Guan Ling said.

"The main thing is that I have to arrange the schedule. Huayi's "Assembly Number" is now confirmed to be released in December. I don't care if you play in the arena, but I have to find a way to move "The Legend" and "Yangtze River No. 12". This is My heart aches when I compete with you in a China Film Group movie."

"Moving forward, there is a National Day holiday, and people still consume enough, but the promotion rhythm needs to change."

"The investment in "The Investment Certificate" is [-] million. How can I change it? Anyway, you also inquired about the movie release situation in Hollywood. The two of us met in time and came up with a charter to see when the best time for the movie is to be released. .

Anyway, I just have to have a bottom line in my mind, and I will make adjustments myself when the time comes. "

Han Sanpin said that this matter seemed to have been bothering him for some time, and this time he wanted to explain it to Guan Ling face to face.

"I'm calling you here for one more thing. I want to discuss with you the support program for young directors.

China Film Group now wants to build a production brand. We have just established the China Media Fund with IDG, and we are also discussing with Emperor, Media Asia and other companies to launch a "China Film Group Youth Director Film Production Plan". I remember you were recruiting directors a while ago. , this time I am thinking of bringing you along. After all, you now have this award in hand, and I heard that you want to stay in Hollywood?How about taking some young directors to Hollywood to see the world? "

"Is China Film planning to do this too?"

"Why don't you do it? The older generation doesn't know much about commercial films now. The new generation of directors know a lot more, but they still have little knowledge. They have to think of a way. We can't let them be limited to this one-third of an acre every day. Inside the ground.”

"What Director Han said is true."

"Speaking of which, there is nothing worrying about this younger generation. I was quite optimistic about the one named Lou Ye, but this kid participated in the Cannes Film Festival with "The Summer Palace" last year and was banned by censors for five years."

Han Sanpin still has a certain style.
Guan Ling chatted with him for a while and learned that he was preparing for the listing of China Film Group, so he made frequent moves during this period.

From theater cooperation and construction, to the improvement of the production industry chain, to supporting young directors, Han Sanpin has indeed been very busy recently, and the entire China Film Group is following his ambitions and rhythm.

"It's no problem if I go to Hollywood. If I shoot a movie in Hollywood, I can find someone to accompany me."

Guan Ling did not refuse on this point.

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words. After all, you have an Oscar, which will work in the United States."

"Isn't China Film's name useful? Director Han, you are just trying to tease me." Guan Ling didn't think this was of much use.

"I can't even praise you enough," Han Sanpin asked. "I won't ask about Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing". The cost is low, but I still have to ask about its release. And I met Jiang Wen a while ago. Well, what do you think of his drama? Can China Film Group take the share?"

"For the release of "Crazy Racing", I am going to let Lingyun Media try it on its own. As for Jiang Wen's film, I can give [-]% of the share to China Film Group. The cost of this film should not be too big. We will jointly produce it, and I I won’t drag Bona along.”

As the saying goes, it’s hard to gain weight by eating alone.

For the drama "Let the Bullets Fly", I should try my best to win over China Film Group Corporation.

Guan Ling hesitated for a moment, understood what Han Sanpin meant, and took a share. Then he remembered something.

"One more thing. When "2012" is released, will China Film be planning to make a co-production or a split film?"

"We must introduce split accounts, so that Fox can make less money." Han Sanpin said, "Don't worry about your share. If not, I will work with you, Ling Yun, to jointly distribute, so that you can make a little more money. If it is a co-production, American producers can at least earn close to [-]% more domestic box office."

"Okay, let's just settle this matter and let the people below do the docking later."

Guan Ling nodded. Han Sanpin chatted with Guan Ling about the new movie again and revealed some information. China Film Co., Ltd. was cooperating with Wu Baige and had started filming a blockbuster with an investment of [-] million. At that time, Ling Yun was invited , Ling Yun didn’t say he wanted to participate, but he can’t participate now.

Han Sanpin is very excited, and it seems that he has high expectations for the future of this movie.

Before Guan Ling left, he told Han Sanpin about "2012".

"By the way, Director Han, the promotion of the "2012" movie in China has started now. If I need your help later, I will contact you again."

"Has the promotion started? I haven't received any notification yet?"

"The propaganda is very vague. The Internet is currently full of discussions about the end of the world. It seems that Director Han has not seen it. We will talk about the specific details of the promotion later, but it is best not to leak the name. Keep it hanging. Once it is announced, it will definitely The whole internet exploded.”

"Okay, then I'll wait and see. Anyway, if you need me if you need me, you can talk to me at any time. We and Fox must work together to increase the box office of the movie "2012", otherwise I won't be able to control it. Living."

"Don't worry, Director Han. I do have a target for the domestic box office of this movie. But we can't just consider making money domestically. Overseas, China Film Group also has to put some pressure on Fox. I heard that Fox will also have several movies next year. superior."

"You are a ghost." Han Sanpin smiled, and that was exactly what he meant.

After leaving China Film and Television, I bought a plane for the afternoon.

I was lucky enough not to meet any reporters before boarding the plane. I passed the security check early and waited to board the plane.Opening the portal website, there is quite a lot of news about Guan Ling.Some of the guesses were quite right.

"Guan Ling's new movie is suspected to be finished. So far, the title of the new movie has not been announced. I don't know when it will be seen?"

"According to reliable information, Guan Ling's new movie has a lot of special effects, and a large number of special effects engineers have been recruited in Shanghai and BJ to serve it. The filming of the movie is about to be completed, and the special effects work is still cumbersome."

"Let me guess, will Director Guan's new film be unfortunately released at the same time as Huayi Films?"

There are also some news that are just eating steamed buns made of human blood.

"Every party is forcing Andy to apologize. Should Andy pay compensation for the death of Yang Lijuan's father? It is reported that Yang Lijuan sued Liu Dehua through the media and asked him to compensate 50 in pension."

"Suspected to have been affected by the incident of jumping into the sea, Liu Dehua has not been seen for two months."

"Liu Dehuafang: We refuse to take any responsibility."

More than two months have passed and netizens have forgotten about it, but some people are still taking advantage of this incident to blackmail Liu Dehua.

"Feng Xiaogang was interviewed by this newspaper and turned a deaf ear to Guan Ling's mention that he was a dog. He asked our reporter, 'Does a dog bite a man or a man bite a dog?' He was suspected of retaliating against Guan Ling's remarks!"

Guan Ling saw it and just smiled knowingly.

Feng Xiaogang had to retaliate about everything, and even if he said that, Guan Ling would definitely have to retaliate.

The plane takes off and lands.

After another long car ride, we finally arrived at the filming location.

To be honest, this was Guan Ling's first time in Xiamen.

The filming location is quite artistic. The old town of Xiamen is full of high-rise buildings. It is dilapidated and mottled, but the pictures are really good.

Guan Ling could tell at a glance that this place was exactly the corner house that Huang Bo drove past in "Crazy Racing" in his previous life. Two streets intersected with sharp turns. On both sides of the road, there were well-preserved Nanyang arcade buildings. It is the charm of the hometown of overseas Chinese in southern Fujian.

"Come on, come on, Director Guan is here!"

Ning Hao had received the news a long time ago, took a short rest, and brought the actors to greet Guan Ling.

"Director Guan," Huang Bo came over, holding Guan Ling's hand and not letting go, "This drama is really good, and the protagonist was written just for me. Thank you very much, Director Guan."

When I read the script, I didn't feel it yet, but when I was acting, as soon as Ning Hao narrated the play, Huang Bo suddenly realized that the protagonist of this play was so suitable for him.

Jiukong came over and said hello. This man is the host from Taiwan.

"Hello Director Guan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Last year I saw you win the Golden Horse Award for Best Director. Now it seems that you are indeed well-deserved. For this drama, our crew have discussed what could be better. tricks, but everyone thinks that it is difficult to change even a line in this drama."

"Director Ning made the right choice. You do look a lot like the Li Farah in my heart."

You still have to praise, Guan Ling couldn't help but speak.

"Thank you, Director Guan, for getting your approval. It seems that I really look like him."

"Hello, Director Guan, hello, Director Guan."

Jiukong spoke carelessly, but Rong Xiang, Xu Zheng, Wang Xun and others were a little less concerned. Xu Zheng was sweating on the back of his forehead in a hurry. He still had hair at this time, and it was the first time he saw Guan Ling.

He couldn't be too excited.

Everyone moved forward, hoping to be glanced at and remembered by Director Guan.

During the chat, Guan Ling knew that the other party had really put his heart into the discussion of the script. In order to reflect the absurdity of the movie, everyone was satisfied that Rong Xiang would be paired with a ruthless subordinate, a "second brother", who was chosen as the actor. It is Gao Jie who has always portrayed the image of "big brother" in the past.

In this way, a cool second brother and a somewhat lacking eldest brother, such a reverse setting should have wonderful sparks.

After chatting, Guan Ling found out the reason why Rong Xiang came.
"I was mainly moved by the idea of ​​turning drugs into ashes in your script, Director Guan. It made me laugh so hard that I lost my breath for a long time."

Everyone chatted for a while, and most of them showed respect for Guan Ling's original and excellent script.

Guan Ling was quite embarrassed because the script was copied after all.

The real owner was still right in front of him, so in the end he had no choice but to change the subject.

"Why don't you hurry up and film the movie? What's going on with everyone surrounding me?"

"You film yours, I'll take a look." Guan Ling was rarely interested and wanted to see how Ning Hao filmed his scenes.

"Then I'll shoot it." Ning Hao was not polite. The scene he wanted to shoot happened to be the scene where Huang Bo and Rong Xiang admitted their differences.

The classic lines came out quickly.

Wind and water, underground CBD, the back garden of life!worth!A lifetime collection!
...This is the latest service launched by our store!Eighteen to send you off!The water is black!

Looks like a gangster!Do you have!Do you have!Such great service!

If you don’t have the guts, how can you produce anything?
Duai, doesn’t this smell right?

Ajie, you are too impulsive.

The local gang is so rude!

Guan Ling watched Ning Hao filming and couldn't help but laugh. Especially when he tasted the ashes in the taxi, Guan Ling couldn't help laughing.

"This southern Fujian accent is so interesting!"

Guan Ling said.

"The main script is very compact, every paragraph is not wasted, and every character is three-dimensional and worth savoring." Ning Hao began to praise again.

Guan Ling was sweating, why did this happen again?
"Hurry up and take some pictures. Let's have dinner tonight."

Guan Ling quickly changed the subject.
