China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 136 Pie from the sky! "Menghualu" is missed!
"When did the filming of this movie start?"

After asking Cheng Long, Guan Ling learned that "Kung Fu Panda" had been filmed for a thousand years.

Two and a half years.

This drama actually started shooting in September 2005. At this time, most of the filming has actually been completed.

Guan Ling was a little embarrassed because he had already written the Kung Fu Panda script before and uploaded it.He was planning to shoot this movie later, but he didn't expect that the other party would start filming it long before he traveled through time.

These scripts must be temporarily withdrawn.But now that I have this opportunity, I can take the opportunity to direct the remaining two Kung Fu Panda movies in the future.

Guan Ling also didn't expect that the other party would let him pass and give him the right to edit.

This huge cake was smashed by Guan Ling.

"Is what DreamWorks said true?"

"Do I need to lie to you? People from DreamWorks told me personally that although they hired an animated film director to direct this movie, the box office data of these two directors have not been particularly high, and DreamWorks I decided to invite you because I took a fancy to China Box Office."

After asking who the current director was, Guan Ling understood why DreamWorks Animation was nervous.

The two directors did not have high box office results.

Among them, John Stephenson directed "Proud Dad" in 2004, which was a three-dimensional animated humor series, but the cost was too high and it was eventually discontinued.

Another director is stronger. Mark Osborne directed "The Adventures of Spongebob" in 2004, with a global box office of US$1.4 million.

The reason why DreamWorks agreed to their filming was because the market research they conducted told them that the movie "Kung Fu Panda" has a chance of becoming a hit.

And now as it gets to the end, DreamWorks Animation hopes more well-known directors will join in. For this reason, they are willing to give up part of the final editing rights and let directors and producers with gimmicks protect the film.

Because the investment in this movie is too big. Production cost of $1.3 million.Including publicity, the price may rise to US$2000 million.DreamWorks is really worried.

Then you need to choose the right candidate.

effort.

panda.

These two elements will remind people of Chinese people, Cheng Long, and the recently popular "2012". Guan Ling naturally entered DreamWorks' vision.

A Chinese director, an upstart in Hollywood, his two Hollywood movies have exceeded one billion US dollars in box office worldwide.

This is simply a gift from God to DreamWorks.

How could DreamWorks not seize this opportunity?With this wave of enthusiasm, are we still human if we don’t take advantage of it?

For Guan Ling, this was purely an invitation to pick peaches, and Guan Ling was naturally happy.

The pie that fell from the sky, don't want it for nothing.

"You reply to them, I can participate." Guan Ling smiled and said to Cheng Long, "You also agree to the dubbing, let's work together again."

"Okay." Cheng Long was also very excited.

For inviting Guan Ling, DreamWorks Animation still owes him a favor.

…………

Guan Ling's mood has gotten better these days.

The filming of Tongtian Empire reached a tense stage, and Zhu Yawen was urgently transferred here by Guan Ling.

Pei Donglai has to appear, and the TV series can also film the heroine scenes first. After all, there are many scenes where the heroine plays the lead role and Gu Qianfan, played by Zhu Yawen, does not need to appear.

Guan Ling and Yang Yang communicated and asked Zhu Yawen to take pictures of Pei Donglai first.

Yang Yang's side is all right.

As soon as Zhu Yawen arrived, Guan Ling didn't give him any time to rest and asked him to put on makeup, so they filmed for a whole day.

The first thing that was filmed was the process of him and the Minister of Dali Temple investigating the case in front of the Tongtian Pagoda. The Minister of Dali Temple, Xue Yong, Guan Ling still chose the original version of Liu Jinshan. This man is rich and handsome and can play a slightly funny role in the movie.

As the fat translator in "Xiao Bing Zhang Ga", this character is actually quite recognizable and has even appeared in the Spring Festival Gala. It is a good choice with high quality and low price.

This person was originally introduced by Shanying because he also participated in "Crossing Guandong".

At Guan Ling's level now, there are many small roles. Guan Ling contacted Shanying and packaged them directly, because it is difficult for small supporting roles to allow Guan Ling to form a close cooperative relationship with others, so it is better to take advantage of his own people.

And it's still a man.

The woman can still see if she looks good. If she looks good, Guan Ling will bring her in casually.

Anyone can be a man.

On the green screen in front of Tongtian Pagoda, Pei Donglai and Xue Yong asked why there was a case of spontaneous combustion, because the person in charge of the project, Mr. Jia, was burned to ashes in an instant.

"There is a lot of yellow phosphorus stored in the Giant Buddha!" ​​Liu Jinshan has a strong command of lines and speaks with great momentum.

Zhu Yawen believes that fire is burned from the inside out.

There was a dispute between the two parties.

Liu Jinshan believed that fire could not be burned out of the body.

The supervisor said that Mr. Jia had been punished by God.

"This Tongxin Pillar is covered with peace charms. Mr. Jia unveiled the peace charms some time ago."

"Nonsense!"

The Minister of Dali Temple directly went up and pulled off the peace talisman, with Zhu Yawen standing behind him.

Liu Jinshan raised the peace charm.

"My lies are misleading the public! Where is the promised divine punishment?" Liu Jinshan's nostrils turned upward.

Next, we have to shoot the scene where the hammer is given.

Liu Jinshan took Zhu Yawen back to the palace from Tongtian Pagoda to report the progress of the case. Just before Wu Zetian, played by Liu Jialing, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and then the Dali Temple Minister was directly burned to ashes while riding on horseback.

Liu Jialing's reaction was very good.

But Zhu Yawen was a little dazed.

"Crack!"

Guan Ling stopped, and went to Zhu Yawen and started to tell the story, "Zhu Yawen, a man was burned alive in front of you, didn't you even have a surprised expression? Pei Donglai is conceited, but he is also a human being, you acted indifferently Yes, do you think the audience can praise you?"

Zhu Yawen apologized repeatedly.

Zhu Yawen was obviously better in the subsequent filming. In many group portrait scenes, Pei Donglai was only in the scene for a few seconds and did not have too much impact.

When filming the martial arts scenes, multiple cameras were looking for close-ups of various actors. Di Renjie's, Shangguan Jing'er's, and Pei Donglai's. The three small investigation teams each had their own thoughts, but they entered the ghost market together, and A fierce fight ensued between the so-called mages.

Then Pei Donglai found the design drawings in Mr. Jia's study.

Secrets discovered.

"Expression, expression. Your emotions are too flat. You need to give feedback." Zhu Yawen's ability indeed needs to be improved, and Guan Ling has been reminding and guiding him.Zhu Yawen was modest. When he listened to Guan Ling's drama, he thought about it, and he could pass it.

In the evening, Guan Ling and Zhu Yawen chatted.

"How's it going in "Meng Hua Lu"? How's the relationship between the three female leads going?"

"It's pretty good." Zhu Yawen said, "I feel like their emotions have always been stable."

"Didn't you hear anything inappropriate coming out of Liu Yan's mouth?"

"If you are talking about the relationship with you, then there is no such thing." Zhu Yawen didn't know the relationship between Liu Yan and Guan Ling, but he could guess it. He just said that Liu Yan had a very strict mouth.

Guan Ling felt a little relieved. Zhu Yawen comforted him and said, "Don't worry. Saying this kind of thing is not a good thing for her after all. What do you think?"

"How is classmate Xiao Liu?"

"She really likes the role of Zhao Pan'er, and asked me to ask you when you are going to visit the cast of "Meng Hua Lu"."

Zhu Yawen reported again, "I filmed some intimate scenes with Liu Yifei, but I used a borrowed position. Except for touching the flesh on my face, I only kissed my own fingers."

"Who asked you this?" Guan Ling rolled his eyes.

Don’t I understand your little thoughts?Zhu Yawen was thinking in his heart.He said no questions, no questions, but when he said it just now, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Guanzi.

"Then say something else."

Zhu Yawen hugged Guan Ling.

"I've been really tired recently, running around in various roles, but thank you very much, Guanzi, without you, I wouldn't have had so many resources. Director Jiang Wen contacted me, and next month I will be in "Let the Bullets" In the crew of "Fly", the Liuzi scene was finished filming, and he has already given me the script. Guanzi, you wrote this script really well. I was confused when I read the lines."

"Just to prove that I didn't eat powder, I cut my stomach open."

"When I first started, I felt that this scene was a bit silly. After all, it was really unnecessary. It was too extreme. When you are at a disadvantage, you just need to lower your head first. This sixth man is both upright and stupid. It is purely a lack of knowledge in his mind. Genji handle.

But after I studied the script in depth, I felt that the death was also tragic, and that this was martyrdom. "

"You can see this layer, which means that your script is really good. When the time comes, study hard and shoot well. With Jiang Wen, your acting skills will definitely be improved quickly."

"I will follow my foster father's teachings."

Zhu Yawen's eyes were serious, "Now it seems that the name of the former adoptive father is really correct. If it were not for the promotion of the adoptive father, I would still be a mediocre bookkeeper under Na Ding Yuan's account."

"Go away! Go back and ask where the new Three Kingdoms is being filmed. You can play Lu Bu. I think you are really addicted. Do you want to kill me every now and then or something?"

Guan Ling pushed this guy away.How disgusting.

Day after day, Zhu Yawen's scenes were finally filmed.

In order to ensure quality, many of them have a few extra guarantees.

That is to say, Guan Ling has this speed, after all, the original appearance is in his mind.

So the shooting speed is very fast.

In order to match Zhu Yawen's role, several leading actors actually changed their roles temporarily.In twelve days, I fully cooperated with Zhu Yawen to complete the filming of Pei Donglai's scene.

But no one, Liu Dehua or Liu Jialing, dared to say no.

Despite how famous they were, they didn't dare to show dissatisfaction in front of Guan Ling's roommate and good brother.

As far as Guan Ling is concerned, which other actor would dare?But Zhu Yawen was personally certified by Guan Ling as someone who could play the role.This treatment is incredible.

During the filming, Liu Dehua also heard that Zhu Yawen would join Jiang Wen's movie later.

The starring roles are Zhou Runfa and Ge You, and Jiang Wen also stars in it. With this movie's strength, Liu Dehua himself can only imagine how popular the movie will be.

Therefore, before Zhu Yawen left, Liu Dehua took the initiative to prepare a final banquet for Zhu Yawen, but Guan Ling refused.
"Brother Hua, you can do it anytime after the filming is over. I'll invite you then, but I have to go to Hollywood later. Zhu Yawen also has a lot of scenes this time. If he drinks too much, the filming time will be delayed again tomorrow. .”

"Director Guan, you are very considerate. We really have to finish filming the movie first." Liu Dehua followed suit.

……

"Myth" is over.

For this TV series, the industry can only use four words to evaluate him-a ratings monster.

The highest ratings for a single episode exceeded 8.52%, and the average episode ratings for the overall TV series exceeded 4.03%.

It ranked first in the ratings of TV dramas in the same period, surpassing all satellite TV new year dramas broadcast in the same period.

It’s not just Hu Ge and Bai Bing who are popular.

A number of supporting characters also began to be mentioned frequently.

Liu Yan made a guest appearance in her first TV series, carrying the sedan chair for the male and female protagonists, creating the most beautiful girl in history, Yu Ji. Many people in the industry have begun to wonder whether to send invitations to Guan Ling and invite Liu Yan to shoot costume scenes.

At the same time, everyone is also looking forward to Liu Yan's second costume TV series "Meng Hua Lu".

Zhang Shi is completely popular. Because Beijing Film Academy included his film and television clips into acting teaching clips, not only online audiences, but also professionals are full of praise for Zhang Shi's performance.

Lingyun Media's agent subsequently sent an invitation letter to Zhang Shi, inviting Zhang Shi to join Lingyun Media.

This is what Guan Ling meant, because Zhang Shi is versatile and can be a supporting role in any Chinese movie, and his acting skills are sufficient.

When Zhang Shi received the invitation, he cried excitedly.

For him, he understands what it means to sign with Lingyun Media.

Jinsha is also popular, and what is also popular are Jinsha’s songs.

The advertising revenue this drama brought to CCTV 3 exceeded [-] million yuan.

Moreover, due to the losses suffered by "The Ming Dynasty", CCTV did not want to let go of the second and third round buyout rights of this TV series. After many comparisons by Tang Dynasty, it sold some second and third round broadcasts. Rights, but only half of them were transferred.

But these are enough to make Director Chen excited.

Recently, Lao Chen always walks sideways on CCTV.

"Director Guan, thank you." Director Chen also called Guan Ling to say thank you, "If Director Guan hadn't told Mr. Cai, we Yangba would really not have been able to win this TV series, but Director Guan, you are really amazing. Was it you who asked Mr. Cai to sign a contract to bet on ratings?"

"Director Chen discovered this," Guan Ling also said with a smile, "CCTV has made so much money, but you can't eat meat. We, the producers, can't make any money."

"That's not true. Although we paid a lot more money, it's reasonable based on the ratings and popularity of this show."

Director Chen almost gritted his teeth and said this. He roughly estimated that due to the gambling agreement that Cai Yinong owed, CCTV would have to give a buyout price of 8000 million for this TV series. If the second and third rounds are included, It is possible to make a round of income of over [-] million.

TV stations are all monopolies, but when facing Guan Ling, CCTV also has to think carefully.

"By the way, Director Guan, how about we go back and deepen our cooperation? We are very interested in the TV series "Menghualu"."

Director Chen smiled and said, "We also heard that Director Guan and Shanying have another film called "Peacock Feathers"?"

Guan Ling said with a smile,
"Director Chen, I haven't finished filming this TV show yet. It's too early for you to talk to me."

"It's late. If you don't ask, it will be snatched away by other TV stations."
