China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 105 The postgraduate entrance examination duo, "2012" is finally finished!
"Hello, Director Guan, my name is Wang Xun, I...I would like to toast you."

On the wine table, Wang Xun's squirrel teeth were indeed quite distinctive. Guan Ling looked at them and realized that they were really natural.

This kind of unique comedian is born to do comedy.

Originally, everyone was already very familiar with Ning Hao. After all, it was already his second time filming.

But as soon as Guan Ling came, no one at the wine table dared to make any mistakes.

When Xu Zheng came up with something, he kept toasting to Guan Ling at the wine table. After all, Guan Ling was from Lu Province, so he didn't have to be afraid and fell directly to a Shanghai banker like Xu Zheng.

In the end, Xu Zheng was just squirming.

The inside of his mouth was so dry that he looked like he was about to foam.

Just like the Zhu Bajie he performed before.

A few years ago, this guy's Zhu Bajie had always been Guan Ling's favorite character.Be famous and out of the circle.

Guan Ling could tell that Xu Zheng was actually very envious of Huang Bo, so he kept talking about his recent scenes at the table, wishing that Guan Ling would say something about signing him.

But Guan Ling didn't open his mouth.

After having enough wine and food, Guan Ling and Ning Hao went out for a walk.

"Speaking of which, if I hadn't called, you, the busy producer, wouldn't have come here at all." Ning Hao said with a smile.

"You all know that I'm busy, and you know how hard it is for me to come here. "2012" is almost finished, and I'll be even busier later. Moreover, this script is very similar to Stone. I believe that with your ability, it can be filmed. good."

"If you were in the United States, I wouldn't have made this call, but now that the plot has almost been filmed, you have to come. I have arranged for many reporters to come over tomorrow to do an interview. I will use your name to To promote the movie." Ning Hao's call had a purpose.

"You and I thought we would go together. This trip is not in vain. When will the filming of "Racing" be completed?"

"I estimate that it will only take another half a month. I have completed the props in the early stage and everyone has already discussed the effects of the scenes. This film will be completed quickly. It will definitely be completed before seven months. As for editing, I estimate that it will also take a month. Almost." Ning Hao roughly calculated the time.

The play will finally be produced, probably by the end of July.

"Let's consider the release date in August or September. I just came from China Film and Television, and Chen Kexin's "The Legend" may have to be rescheduled. It will probably be released during the National Day."

"Isn't that his New Year's film?" Ning Hao was surprised. He suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, ""2012" is going to be on the Lunar New Year film?"

"Correct."

"You don't even have a finished film. Can they make way for you in "The Letter of Contribution"?"

"I told Director Han that I'm going to film it in the Lunar New Year movie anyway. After all, "The Call to Action" is their movie, and it's his business to adjust it or not. He won't let two China Film Group movies compete."

"You are awesome." Ning Hao was convinced.

The finished film hasn't even been released yet, so I directly asked China Film for a filming schedule, and the key point was that they really agreed.

This status is awesome.

"I'm going to show off to domestic directors." Guan Ling said with a smile, "I've been wondering, with the current domestic film situation, can I get one billion? I want to give it a try."

"One billion?" Ning Hao couldn't believe it.He doesn't even have [-] million, and he is waiting to see if "Racing" can give him this opportunity.

"Give it a try, I have the confidence."

It was pitch black outside. Guan Ling looked at the big moon in the sky and responded,

"Many people in China don't like to go to movie theaters, mainly because it doesn't attract their attention. My film is just for their attention. Moreover, I guess it will not be difficult for China Film to postpone the release for two months."

"Then let's see if we can get it."

Ning Hao was envious and surprised.

The total box office revenue in mainland China in 2006 was over 30 billion, including many Hollywood blockbusters.

Guan Ling opened his mouth and it was one billion.

But Guan Ling is different from them. He listens to what others say.

The global box office of "Hearing Girl" is close to [-] million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than [-] billion dollars.

Domestically, it depends on the situation.

"Okay, then I'll be tight-lipped when it comes to editing and see if it can be released in August so that I can get some summer vacation bonuses. I feel like the box office will be a little short in September."

"By the way, how is this guy Yang Qing?"

Guan Ling asked.

"Don't tell me, where did I find such a young man? He is so energetic. It feels like he was given a shot of chicken blood when he touched the camera. I don't know why."

Ning Hao is quite satisfied with Yang Qing.

He didn't know that Guan Ling gave him a shot of chicken blood, and if he performed well, he would be able to direct his own movie, which kept him excited.

Guan Ling nodded. A guy that Ning Hao recognized could actually be cultivated.

It's just that this guy hasn't finished the script for "Nightclub" yet. Guan Ling saw him from a distance today and he came over to say hello, but he was very stiff and didn't mention the script for "Nightclub".

Guan Ling asked him, and he said he would wait until it was written, and he was still thinking about the details of the lines.

The next day, many reporters came to the "Crazy Racing" crew, which were invited.

Ning Hao regards "Crazy Racing" as his entry point and wants to become more popular with this movie. He has a high thirst for attention.

At first, Guan Ling criticized Huayi, and this drama received a certain amount of attention, but with the subsequent popularity of "The Ming Dynasty", this drama was gradually forgotten.

This time Guan Ling came to visit the class was the best opportunity for publicity.

"Director Guan, thank you for the invitation."

"Director Ning, I wish you a great success in this movie."

Journalists are all human beings, so they are very sensible when they are invited.

"With luck, I can catch Director Guan here. I've been squatting here for a long time and haven't been able to come in. Now I finally came in."

Even the reporters who were squatting outside were not spared. Guan Ling was led in together.

"click"

"Show a smile on your face"

The reporters all took photos of Guan Ling coming to visit the class.

After the shooting, Guan Ling asked Ning Hao to give everyone red envelopes.

"Everyone has to write better. It doesn't matter what you write, but don't forget to mention the name of the movie." Guan Ling said to everyone with a smile.

"Don't worry about that, we are all well-educated!" The reporters patted Guan Ling's chest.

Get the money and do the work.

"Actually, Director Guan, I think you can do something. For example, "Crazy Racing" should have a higher box office than Huayi's movies. Director Ning Hao may also be about to enter the billion-dollar club. Anyway, you can do whatever you want. Say, won’t it come out when the explosion hits?”

The reporter who was squatting outside also played a trick on Guan Ling before leaving.

It’s better to be a squatter and directly grasp the hot topics.

Guan Ling thought it was really good, and he would die without saying anything directly.

"'Crazy Racing' is a good movie, and I think this movie can make Ning Hao a member of the billion-dollar club."

"Director Guan, you talked about the [-] Million Yuan Club. How do you evaluate the [-] Million Yuan Club? Who among the directors do you respect the most?"

"The [-]-million-yuan club is nothing. I believe that with the development of Chinese films, everyone will have the opportunity to become a director in the [-]-million-yuan club. I respect each of them. As they have won awards for their films, they have devoted their efforts to every film." His hard work."

There was nothing wrong with this at first glance, but then the reporter realized it.

"Damn it, Director Guan really dares to say that!"

There are now four people in the Billion Dollar Club, including Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, who have won a Palme d'Or, a Golden Bear, and an Oscar.

Embarrassing so and so.

"Director Guan is really cruel. He stabbed Feng's pants directly above the heart."

The reporter is very excited, the breaking news is coming!
The news headlines are all prepared. "Let’s fire again! At the scene of "Crazy Racing", Director Guan said that everyone in the Billion Dollar Club has a chance, and he respects his fellow award-winners. He only ignores Feng Xiaogang!"

"Guan Ling claimed that the target of "Crazy Racing" will exceed [-] million yuan. Let us wait and see whether Ning Hao can become the fifth director of the [-] million yuan club in the mainland!"

The reporters left the crew, and within two hours, a lot of news was exposed online.

The news section was large, with pictures showing Guan Ling chatting and laughing with Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others.

"According to this website's exclusive report: Guan Ling, as the producer, claimed that "Crazy Racing" will be an enhanced version of "Crazy Stone". If you laugh or cry, he loses!"

Ning Hao mainly took photos of the postgraduate entrance examination duo. Among them, Wang Shuangbao was chosen as the killer. When Guan Ling looked at this big crew cut, he was reminded of "The Blind Shaft".

Not to mention, I was scared to see Wang Shuangbao in the crew.

This man has a naturally fierce appearance and is very scary.

Compared to him, the other killer seems silly, and he also plays the silly one in the play.

"Give me a hand." After Guan Ling told Ning Hao, he sat in front of the monitor and wanted to do it himself.

Ning Hao is incompetent.

It just so happened that he also wanted to see if there was any difference between himself and Guan Ling in filming. This was also a learning process.

The scenes to be filmed are between the killer and Jiu Kong, as well as the fat wife, the scenes between the killer and Huang Bo,
Wang Shuangbao was a little nervous when he saw a great director like Guan Ling for the first time. He was obviously nervous during the filming process.

"Relax, what are you afraid of?" Guan Ling was shocked, "You are a killer, why don't you have a sense of belief?"

"Director Guan, I will adjust immediately." Wang Shuangbao apologized repeatedly.

Click, the camera is on.

Inside the refrigerated truck that Huang Bo was deceived into, the Muay Thai guy was shivering from the cold, and the whole car was shaking and shaking because of his back and forth movement inside.

The two killers took the shirts and found their employer.

The fat wife started to count the money. She was wearing a Superman costume with nine holes and the tips of her underwear were bulging. As soon as she came out, Li Farah saw the two killer brothers she hired.

Putting on the wig and covering their mouths, the three of them recognized each other.

At this moment, the fat wife came out.

The four people looked at each other, and the camera flashed across their faces.

They all showed shocked expressions.

A huge mistake, the wrong person was killed.

The fat wife is anxious. I'll give you change. Why is this Li Farah still alive in front of me?

Li Farah was also anxious, are you two traitors? Why are you still betraying me?His eyes were as wide as bells.

The two couples started to quarrel. You hired a murderer to kill me, and I want to sue you.

Pick up the knife over there and I'm going to stab you to death.

The two killers looked at each other there.

"Card!"

Guan Ling went up and frowned.

"But when you are acting, you must make sure that what you are acting is a comedy. The quarrel between them is a quarrel, and you two killers are also in the camera, right? So you have to perform scenes that make people smile."

"Director Guan, I don't understand." Wang Shuangbao waited for Guan Ling to come over and tell the story.

"The two of them are pulling each other here, moving left and right. You two can shake your head and head simultaneously, left and right simultaneously. Do you think it will be funny?"

Several people, including Ning Hao, suddenly realized.

The two killers were about to let him go and opened the trunk. The Muay Thai kid had turned into a popsicle.

Under Guan Ling's guidance, the two of them showed dull expressions at the same time.

Then another accident happened in the house. The fat wife slipped and fell on Li Farah's dagger.

People are gone.

Geng Hao, played by Huang Bo, entered the house and was framed by Li Farah.

Huang Bo's acting skills were more proficient, and there were almost no NGs in the city. Then Huang Bo saw his impounded car and drove away.

Then he filmed Huang Bo opening the trunk compartment.

Found the body and became numb again.

I went to call the police and found out that I was wanted, so I ran away quickly.

"Okay, it's over!"

Guan Ling looked at the footage and saw that the content was quite good. He filmed two random segments and it was still as funny as before.

Ning Hao is also quite satisfied with Guan Ling's photography.

"Director Guan is indeed a screenwriter. In such a short time, his familiarity with the content and scenes is as good as mine."

Within two days, Guan Ling received a call from Gai Naote.

Gai Nao Te told Guan Ling that Fox's propaganda efforts have increased, and they are preparing to turn the doomsday theory of "2012" into a public opinion in the United States and even the world.

Guan Ling believes that time is up. The doomsday theory will be sweeping for at least two to three months. By then, the film will be promoted and the road to popularity will have been paved.

This incident was a catalyst. Guan Ling left the crew. He had to wrap up "2012" as soon as possible. Since he was going to shoot in Tibet, he had to consider using lenses and machines from there.

Guan Ling called Bona and asked Bao Beier to join him.

Lu Zhong, Zhu Yawen, Jing Tian and others also received calls and they had to go together.

When all the filming was completed, at least I felt a lot more relieved. Guan Ling bought a plane ticket and flew away that day.

Tibet Province,

I was very excited when I arrived, but I was very excited when I got there.

It was beautiful to be surrounded by high mountains and covered with snow in the distance, but Guan Ling suddenly felt out of breath.Guan Ling almost felt like he was going to die.

There are two completely different worlds here and in the city. The whole world is lonely, cold, and vast.

I found an ancient temple surrounded by mountains. We had agreed to film a movie and donated some incense money.

The Little Monk chose Bao Beier, the younger brother of the engineer played by Zhu Yawen.

As for the abbot, Guan Ling didn't choose the actors. He chose them directly after talking with them at the local ancient temple.

Between the vastness of heaven and earth,
The little monk played by Bao Beier is very anxious and looks miserable.

I asked the old monk that the end of the world was coming, what should I do?
The old monk is a fighter.

I saw him filling the cup with tea. The tea overflowed and he was still pouring it. The young monk saw that the tea overflowed and asked the old monk to stop pouring it. It was full.

After the old monk stopped,
Said something:
Just like this cup, your heart is filled with fear and suspicion. To see the light of wisdom, you must first empty the cup.

The young monk was puzzled.

In fact, Guan Ling considered deleting this paragraph, but gave up in the end.

Although it seems that this story is redundant in the movie, in fact, this shot, together with the later shot of the old monk ringing the bell, creates a magnificent scene that is a good promotion of the Buddhist culture of Tibet.

And the Zen language of this line.

Later, Guan Ling also understood that in Buddhism, there is no end of the world at all. Everything is originally false and is formed by the combination of causes and conditions. Where there are gatherings, there are separations, there are achievements and failures, and reincarnation is endless.

The birth and death of all matter is just a phenomenon. As a Buddhist disciple, you should not panic or take it too seriously.

The old monk said this not to make the young monk wise, but to free him.
As the Heart Sutra says,
There is no hindrance in the heart, no hindrance, no terror, far away from reversing dreams, and finally Nirvana.

This is great freedom!
