China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 130 Harvest season!Guan Guanxue earned [-] million!

"Di Renjie?"

Liu Dehua was silent for a while.

For him, he spent the entire last year memorizing words.

What happened to Yang Lijuan at the beginning of the year made his hair turn gray.

Even because of this incident, the news that Liu Dehua won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Supporting Actor for "The Disciple" seemed less happy.

The media not only ate the human blood buns from Yang Lijuan's house, but also ate those from Liu Dehua. It seemed that Liu Dehua played an ulterior role in this.

It wasn't until the hit "Tou Ming Zhuan" became popular a few months ago that he slowly recovered.

Liu Dehua originally thought that the role Guan Ling gave him would be a special script, but after the words Guan Ling and Di Renjie came out, Liu Dehua did hesitate.

Of course he knows who Dee Renjie is. The "Detective Dee" TV series, which is very popular in the mainland, is also very popular in Hong Kong.

And there have always been people in Hong Kong filming this type of film and television works.

But movies are indeed rare.

"What? Brother Hua, do you still need to think about it?"

Guan Ling felt Liu Dehua's hesitation and asked, "If you have any considerations, you might as well say so."

"Director Guan, I definitely like all of your characters. After all, your script is the best in China. But what I hesitate is that now Teacher Liang Guanhua's Di Renjie Zhuyu is ahead of me. I'm worried that if I film it, it will be another "" Mo Gong"."

Previously, the movie "Ink Attack" was released simultaneously with "Hearing Girl".

Liu Dehua was scolded a lot for his role in it.

In "The Name of the People", although the film is about the Qing Dynasty, Liu Dehua plays a bandit after all, which is very different from Di Renjie's character portrayal in the official history.

Liu Dehua didn't mind the challenge, but for a while, he really didn't think he was suitable for this role.

"You are thinking too much. As I said, what I want to make is a Chinese fantasy movie, not a historical costume. So you don't need to compare yourself with Teacher Liang Guanhua. These are two tracks." Guan Ling After a little explanation, "Otherwise, I'll wait for a few days and you fly to Beijing to read the script. If there's no problem, I'll sign the contract."

"That's great. I'll tell the director and fly to Beijing this afternoon."

Guan Ling asked Liu Dehua to wait for a few days, Liu Dehua had to go on the road, and immediately gave Guan Ling a guarantee.

In fact, after listening to Guan Ling's words, Liu Dehua was already inclined to nod. Director Guan's movies have never failed because of Director Guan's casting.

Since Director Guan contacted me, he must have considered his compatibility with the role.

But I didn't realize it at once. This time I just climbed the pole. After arriving in the capital, I quickly finished the contract.

Guan Ling's movie, or a series of movies, how could Liu Dehua not be tempted by the role of the male protagonist? !

Liu Dehua is not naive enough to think that Guan Ling needs him to support the popularity of his movie and support the box office.

In China, any movie that chooses him as the protagonist may have this purpose, but Guan Ling does not need it.

Guan Ling can make a Chinese first-line star in any movie.Even if this person is new.

Liu Dehua knew this very well.

Because of this name, the box office in mainland China is almost a symbol of hundreds of millions.

Even a base of [-] million.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Dehua immediately contacted his assistant to buy a ticket.

Hong Jingbao came over and met the frowning Liu Dehua's eyes.

"Hua Zai? Director Guan contacted you, is it good or bad?"

Liu Dehua frowned and told the truth: "Director Guan invited me to be the leading actor in his series of movies, but I am still a little worried, so I am a little hesitant."

Hong Jingbao:......

Why are you hesitating?

Actor in the series of movies.

Guan Ling.

The connection between these two terms will definitely make the entertainment industry grab a head start!

"You are pretending! Andy!" Hong Jingbao said harshly. "Director Guan's movie is coming, are you still picky?"

"You know the reputation of Director Guan in Hong Kong now. Director Guan is well-received in Hollywood, Mainland China, and Hong Kong. You can get on this platform, but you still worry about the box office of the movies you star in being less? Andy!"

Hong Jingbao immediately became anxious.

"I understand, I will fly to Beijing in the afternoon." Liu Dehua quickly silenced Hong Jingbao.

"Hua Zai, recommend me to Director Guan. I am a prime supporting actor."

"Brother, please stop joking. If you really act, you will be under too much pressure to play the supporting role." Liu Dehua also said with a smile.

"The main thing is that I want to meet this great mainland director. "2012" has a global box office of US$8 million. With this film, Cheng Long almost surpassed all the box office he made in the first half of his life."

Hong Jingbao smiled and said, "Now even Wu Baige has to make way for this guy. No one thought that the movie box office record set by Wu Baige could be broken by a Chinese, and it was from the mainland. I am also jealous. It’s a pity that I’m getting older.”

Hung Jingbao's status in Hong Kong is quite high, even higher than that of Cheng Long, but even so, when faced with Guan Ling's movie, Hung Jingbao still wanted to join in the fun.

"Okay, brother, I will definitely bring the message." Liu Dehua said respectfully.

……

in the office.

Liu Dehua finished reading the script.

"Director Guan, this script is amazing." Liu Dehua couldn't help but praise it.

This type of movie has never been made before, and it seems that Director Guan wants to complete the special effects to the end.

The script Liu Dehua saw was somewhat different from the script in his previous life.

First of all, Guan Ling has strengthened the thickness of the story.

In the previous life, the villain Shatuo played by Liang Jiahui was barely mentioned in the middle of the movie. However, in the process of improving the script, Guan Ling slightly increased the role of this character, mainly in the dialogue during the clue exploration process. hook.

Moreover, after Guan Ling had thought about this role, he definitely couldn’t let a famous actor play it.

It would be too easy for the audience to guess.

But Guan Ling really didn't think about who to choose.

This person's acting skills must be explosive, because this is a happy and loyal young man who became a vicious murderer in the city under the influence of the torrent.

So it can’t be someone the audience is familiar with.

Such people are usually found in theaters.

Guan Ling didn't think of a suitable candidate for a while.

Secondly, in terms of character creation, Guan Ling and Chen Guofu worked together to outline the script in depth.

For commercial movies, especially detective movies, the most important thing is the story, especially the characters and relationships.

Only through character changes and character interactions can the story advance in an orderly manner.

The detective story is just a cover, the most interesting thing is the evolution and foreshadowing of the characters’ relationships.

Guan Ling has strengthened this point. Not only has the relationship between Di Renjie and Pei Donglai changed more naturally than in the previous life, but the relationship between Pei Donglai and Shangguan Jing'er has also been deepened.

At the same time, Guan Ling also added some more touches to the triangular relationship between Di Renjie, Wu Zetian, and Shangguan Jing'er.

In fact, the drama "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" is essentially the process of the three investigators investigating the case. As for the fantastic scenes encountered in it, it is just a formality, and it is the focus of this movie to attract people's attention. But if you want to capture the audience's heart, story is the prerequisite.

Therefore, Guan Ling put more effort into the final character portrayal.

Di Renjie's mind was full of investigating the case.Belongs to pragmatism.

As Shangguan Jing'er plays an administrative role, beauty is all that matters. This role is destined for Fan Bingbing. When the time comes, Fan Bingbing will appear in a nude scene again, showing all of her beautiful back on the screen. .

When Pei Dong came, Guan Ling wanted Zhu Yawen to come.

This is a role that was previously promised to Zhu Yawen, but Zhu Yawen's acting skills need to be cultivated, because the current Zhu Yawen is indeed not as proficient in acting as Deng Chao.

Although Deng Chao is first-rate at pretending to be stupid, and he played his stupidity to perfection in the subsequent comedies and Running Man, at this time, Deng Chao's acting skills are indeed not bad.

At least in the original Pei Donglai, the character's ruthlessness and arrogance were all performed by him.

"I originally thought that if Di Renjie were a character in official history, I wouldn't be able to play him."

Liu Dehua said, "People on the Internet laugh at me, saying that no matter what role I play, I always play Liu Dehua."

This is actually not wrong.

Guan Ling even laughed. Liu Dehua acted Liu Dehua in everything he did, and it was the same until 20 years later.But at that time, the audience suddenly realized that having Liu Dehua was already a blessing. "But now, I feel that this movie has a bit of both good and evil. It is very challenging, and judging from the script, I think this movie will definitely be successful."

Liu Dehua praised Guan Ling again.

"Then sign the contract. Producer Chen and I will finalize the casting and start shooting as soon as possible. I won't keep you after a light meal in the evening. You hurry back to the crew to shoot and process the rest of the current movie. The rest of the time will be left to this movie.”

Guan Ling acted vigorously and Liu Dehua quickly agreed.

Regarding this movie, Liu Dehua had a hunch that maybe it would become the first Chinese-language film to break the box office record.

And the premonition is very strong.

Not just because of Guan Ling, but this type of movie inherently attracts audiences.

Liu Dehua, who had just walked out of Lingyun Media, was quite excited. Suddenly, his assistant came over and brought him a message.

"Brother Hua, something happened in the Hong Kong entertainment industry."

"What happened?"

"Unforgettable photos."

"Again? Why are you being secretly photographed every day?"

For Liu Dehua, this matter is just eight hexagrams.

Last year, there was a secret filming incident in a bathhouse. At that time, Hong Kong media was overwhelming.

It was chaotic for a long time, and finally ended without any problem.

Unexpectedly, now it’s happening again.

"It's different this time. It's not necessarily a candid photo." The assistant had a confused expression on his face.

Read the news on the website.

Liu De straightened up, and he turned out to be someone he knew. He had a good impression of this junior. They had worked well together in "Infernal Affairs".

This young man... what a pity.What's going on in the future?

……

The door opened.

In just two days, the photos were posted all over the Internet.And more and more people are involved.

The agency was furious, called the police and tried its best to trace the source of the photo.

Fans have also established the Global Rage Action Alliance, trying to search for evidence to clear their idols.

But all the female stars involved in the entertainment industry have strangely fallen into silence.

Didn't show up.

The police identified the photo and found that there was no trace of modification, but that it was taken with a mobile phone.

For a time,

The whole network exploded!

The Hong Kong entertainment industry is in chaos.

The mainland entertainment industry was immediately swept by these things.

The popularity of Guan Ling's movies and TV series can only be ranked second.

"I never imagined that someone as awesome as Director Guan could be stepped on by these stars." Netizens laughed and laughed.

These people are all on fire!It even became popular abroad.

……

Guan Ling, on the other hand, is holding a celebration banquet under the arrangement of China Film.

The global box office of the movie exceeded [-] million U.S. dollars. This achievement would be impossible without a celebration party.

Cheng Long is back.

"Director Guan, I just came back and I heard that you hired Hua Zai for your new play. I was obviously the one who came here first."

Brother Cheng Long can also joke.

It can be seen that the movie "2012" has increased Cheng Long's confidence.

"Are you sure you haven't found a suitable Hollywood movie after staying in the United States for so many days? Are you still coming back to act in a Chinese-language movie with me?" Guan Ling asked.

The filming of "Rush Hour 3" has been completed, and the release of "2012" has made Cheng Long's face well-known around the world. Now Cheng Long's popularity has almost returned to its peak.

"Speaking of this, I get angry. Director Guan, I have obviously seen so many good Hollywood scripts of yours. Why do you have to make a Chinese-language movie? Isn't it better to go to Hollywood?"

Cheng Long didn't understand.

"After this movie became a hit, you are now very popular in Hollywood. There were too many people asking me about you when I was in the United States. I really don't understand your decision."

"If I were an actor, I would definitely keep acting in Hollywood. This is the global palace for actors. But as a director, and I have just established a theater company, I have to consider the development of the Chinese market. It has always been Hollywood movies. It will promote the growth of China’s box office, but it may not be a good thing for the development of Chinese-language films.”

Han Sanpin listened to Guan Ling's words, came over and took the wine glass and couldn't help but nod.

"Although I hope that Director Guan can make a Hollywood blockbuster, Director Guan's words touched my heart.

Our Chinese films not only need development, but also influence.One Li Ang is not enough. Now that Director Guan can take the initiative to consider this, I am really happy. "

Cheng Long stretched out his thumb.

“We still have to work hard on influence.

The Olympic Games is the development of sports in major countries, and we are going to host it.

As for the development of movies in the Mainland, except for Director Guan and Director Zhang, others may really be a little behind. "

Cheng Long went straight on, without even considering whether he had left someone behind.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's just celebrate today." Han Sanpin raised his glass.

The wrinkles on his face showed when he smiled.

"Director Guan, the income this movie has brought to China Film Group is comparable to the income from other movies combined. For this reason, I have to personally pay a toast to Director Guan today."

Director Han is very high-spirited. He has recently eliminated people who are not of the same mind, and he has done a good job in front of his superiors.

It can be said that we are firmly on the Diaoyutai.

As he spoke, Han Sanpin poured wine for Guan Ling.

Cheng Long's pupils narrowed slightly.

The boss of China Film Group Corporation, his attitude towards Director Guan is a status symbol in itself.

Guan Ling also smiled happily.

He roughly calculated that Lingyun Media invested more than 3000 million US dollars.

Converted into income.

From this movie alone, he could earn [-] million.

"Director Han, I am able to earn so much profit thanks to China Film's mediation. Otherwise, even though it is a co-production, if the other party tries to trick me, I won't have anywhere to look for it. This is your face."

"It's easy to talk about. If there is a movie like this in the future, Director Guan will be thinking of me, and China Film will definitely be your strong backing."

On the other side, Ren Zhonglun's face turned green.

They almost had import rights at one point, but were cut off by China Film.Although they are making a lot of money now.But compared to China Film and Lingyun, it is indeed far behind.

Although for them, this is free money.But if I can't resist others earning more, I will definitely be jealous.

"No, don't say this in front of me, I have a headache."

Cheng Long was furious, "Director Guan, a black-hearted guy, gave me a salary of 500 million US dollars. Just thinking about it makes me angry!"

"You can't say that! Brother Cheng Long. This is a gentleman's agreement. I am proposing. You are the one who agrees to reduce your salary."

Cheng Long shook his hair.

"I won't listen, I won't listen. When Director Guan comes, we must have a drink."

Several people laughed.

Cheng Long felt even more heartbroken and stewed it in one gulp.
