China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 140 Zhang Yimou’s recognition, ignorant Nazha
"Director Guan, I heard that you have done well in recording the first sentence these days."

At the national dance in "Harmonious China", Guan Ling met Zhang Yimou, who was showing signs of fatigue. Lao Mouzi had been under a lot of pressure recently.

My hairline has moved back, and there are dark circles above my eyes.

After each Olympic Games, there will be a cultural display of the venue where the next Olympic Games will be held.

In 2004, the Chinese program show after the Athens Olympics was directed by Zhang Yimou.

In the eight minutes after the Athens Olympics, although Zhang Yimou attracted praise from many foreigners, those art forms such as martial arts and acrobatics were poorly performed in China.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou was scolded in China at that time.

So when Zhang Yimou applied, netizens still didn’t buy it.

But among the directors who applied at that time, Ang Lee's creativity was not good enough, and he was temporarily determined to be an assistant. Brother Chen Kai was very confident in a black suit and sunglasses, scolding Fang Qiu. In order to express his surging mood, he directly When I first heard the song, I shed tears all over my clothes. The organizing committee was so big that one person and two people were eliminated, and they were eliminated on the spot. They said I wanted a director, not a poet.

When the leaders met, they had no choice but to ask Zhang Yimou to come.

At that time, Guan Ling did not have this right.

Zhang Yimou bit the bullet and accepted the call, something that the leaders were calling on and the people were enthusiastic about.If you are scolded, be scolded.

He knew that as China's biggest international event in the new century and even since China's accession to the WTO, the Chinese people were holding their breath.

And Zhang Yimou is the one who can take the most responsibility under this heavy pressure.

From the time he was creatively selected to the present, Zhang Yimou has never had time to direct his own movies, except for one "Golden Armor".I have been busy preparing for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Guan Ling had heard vaguely that Zhang Yimou couldn't even sleep.

"Yes, Liu Huan and the others directed well. If it weren't for them, I would definitely be showing off my timidity." Guan Ling went to record the first line a few days ago, but it was out of tune several times. It took a whole day to film Guan Ling's scene, and it still worked. I have specially preserved several items for different scenarios.

"Thank you for picking up. The Olympic Organizing Committee told me that they themselves asked Cheng Long, but Cheng Long refused to sing the first line. If you hadn't picked up, I probably would have chosen the one from the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics." It’s a little girl.” Zhang Yimou held Guan Ling’s hand, “I just gave you a call and you can come over, I have to thank you.”

Guan Ling was dazed for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the first sentence was indeed a little girl, the one who said "Welcome to Beijing" to everyone after the Athens Olympics.

He is stealing the little girl's chance to show her face, Guan Ling thought to himself.I have to talk to Liu Huan and the others later to see if this little girl can also be the finalist of this song.No one among the celebrities would say anything about holding a child for the finale.

"Director Zhang, you are also a senior brother after all, so don't be polite. You said you are a little confused, want to talk?"

Guan Ling really wondered what Zhang Yimou wanted to say.

"Yes, let's talk about this party first. When I come here this time, firstly, the leaders above attach great importance to this matter, so I have to come and stand on the platform for a while. The costume party directed by the chief director Ding Wei this time will also become a popular event in the Olympic Games. The display session of the national costumes of various ethnic groups... The second reason is because I have a question and want to ask your thoughts. After all, I am really busy now and I really don’t have time to see you at other times, so it is Please forgive me, Director Guan.”

"You said."

Zhang Yimou spoke very politely, and Guan Ling nodded frequently.

"I am planning to build a single full-color large screen with tens of thousands of LEDs for the Olympic Games as the centerpiece of the venue, so that the opening ceremony will be visually appealing.

To this end, Leyard and I have specially customized many display devices. We have also tested them now and the results are very good.

But now we have encountered a problem, that is, with these tens of thousands of lamps, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have problems, and there are also a series of issues that need to be considered, such as waterproofing and lamp maintenance.

I am very determined, but the leaders above also put some pressure on me, saying that this is risky.There is another way.

I'm here to ask you, do you think that in the opening ceremony, should I follow other people's advice and make a pretty good opening ceremony while seeking stability, or should I rather take risks? , where is the entire giant picture that amazes the world?If Guan was guiding you, how would you choose? "

Guan Ling didn't expect Zhang Yimou to ask him this question.

Zhang Yimou was really anxious. In his previous life, he was the most famous director. No one could give him any advice except himself.But now, Guan Ling is different. After all, he has become a world-famous director by relying on visual effects. Zhang Yimou does not feel that he is inferior to Guan Ling, but he needs recognition now.

Because he himself also knows very well where the risks lie.

Indeed, he was very ambitious and very adventurous. What Zhang Yimou wanted to do at the opening ceremony was something that no one had ever seen before.

The creativity of the scroll will inevitably lead to discussion on whether large-scale LEDs should be used on the ground.

No one in the world has ever tried it before. This technology is very risky. Trampling, rain and other reasons may cause the LED screen to go black.

Once a black screen occurs during the opening ceremony, there is no way to explain it to the people across the country.

Guan Ling was stunned for a moment. He recalled the scene of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in his previous life.

In addition to the slowly unfolding ink painting scroll, there are also the five Olympic rings, which are another gift from Zhang Yimou to the 2008 Olympic Games.When the dazzling Olympic rings magically floated in front of more than 10 spectators, the whole world held its breath for a moment.

This dreamy five-ring is made of 2000 blue and 44794 white LED lights, a total of 46794 LED lights, woven on a huge steel wire mesh through a special process.

The large-scale application of LED display technology in the 08 Olympics was a risk, but the effect was extremely successful.To some extent, it indirectly promotes the application and development of LED display technology.Since then, LED large screens have become an important part of major national events and artistic performances.

So for China, or for Zhang Yimou, this opening ceremony is one ahead of the times.

This is unprecedented and unprecedented.

Compared with the BJ Olympics, the opening ceremonies of the following Olympic Games were not as bad as 01:30, and there were even Yin soldiers crossing the border at the Tokyo Olympics. It was simply...

"Director Guan?"

Seeing that Guan Ling was deep in thought, Zhang Yimou asked.

"Director Zhang, I think your idea is right. The BJ Olympics is a grand event for China. We cannot use stability as a magic weapon. We need to let the world see it, see the difference in China, and see the strongest side of China. , to make them shocked by the Chinese style and culture, and all of this requires a scene that they can remember. So Director Zhang, I support your side."

In fact, when Guan Ling thought about it, his heart surged.

Originally, he didn't have such a deep feeling about the Olympic Games, after all, he had already experienced it twice, but the look in Zhang Yimou's eyes really made Guan Ling realize the significance of this event to the people in the country.

"So Director Zhang, do your best. If there are any problems with the budget, Lingyun Media can help. You can also bring this to the Olympic Organizing Committee."

"it is good."

Zhang Yimou held Guan Ling's hand and calmed down, saying nothing.

"Director Guan, the same goes for you." Before leaving, Zhang Yimou said to Guan Ling,
"I, Zhang Yimou, have never been convinced by anyone in the film industry.
Usually others regard me as an imaginary enemy, such as Photographer Chen, who became a great director because of his father's affairs, and has always been eyeing my position. We seem to be secretly competing, but I have never given him a Treated as an opponent.

However, when I watched the movie "2012", I didn't expect it to be made by Chinese people.

But it’s not important. I can make Chinese movies after "2012"." Zhang Yimou extended his thumb, "Director Guan, you are the one.No matter whether your "Detective Dee" can be a global hit or not, I understand your heart.Because with your current status, you have a chance to make any movie in Hollywood, so this is even more valuable. "

"Director Guan, I obey you."

Guan Ling didn't expect that Zhang Yimou would feel his heart out after just saying a few words.I wouldn't have said this unless I was heartbroken. After all, Photographer Chen is just pointing his finger at him and looking down on him.

Guan Ling also admired Zhang Yimou.

After all, he is considered the No. 1 film director in Mainland China. Apart from having a producer who has a high-level vision, he really doesn’t have much fault with his character.The cost of superbirth is also paid at the drop of a hat.

"It would be better if I didn't film "Man Jiang Hong"." Guan Ling said to himself, people, what they are most afraid of is not being able to guarantee their safety at the end of the year.

...Zhang Yimou and Guan Ling watched the party for about half an hour. They went to chat with Ding Wei for a few words, and Zhang Yimou left first.

The assistants brought along with Ding Wei will keep an eye on these ethnic actors, and the best ones will be selected to participate in the Olympic opening ceremony.

After all, Zhang Yimou probably estimated that the number of people needed for the opening ceremony would be at least [-]. Although many people have been rehearsing for a long time, they still need people to take over, even as backup.

The display of ethnic costumes was actually fun at first, but Guan Ling became confused later on. Especially at the party, many ethnic dances had restrictions, and it quickly became boring.

Guan Ling was also about to say goodbye and leave, but suddenly he looked back and saw a familiar figure.

It seems to be Nazha?
Nazha is wearing a red national costume, has big earrings, and her thin face is very recognizable.

Guan Ling thought for a moment that he had seen it wrong, but after taking a closer look, there was no doubt that this person was Nazha.

In fact, Guan Ling didn't know much about it. Last year, Nazha participated in the selection of the "XJ Snow Lotus Cup" National Flower, passed all the tests, and finally became the "Uyghur Flower" of that year.It is precisely because of this award that she was selected as the vanguard of the Uyghur national costume display this year.

After seeing Nazha, Guan Ling didn't want to leave for the time being.

This little girl, sign up for Ling Yun. After all, in the next ten years, beauties will be a weapon to attract money.

And it's impossible for Guan Ling to have no idea about Nazha, she looks good.Guan Ling has no resistance to good-looking things.

"You have to seize this opportunity." Guan Ling said in his heart, "I feel like she has never had a boyfriend now, looking at Xiao Xiao."

Seeing Nazha, Guan Ling could think of two of her relationships, one with a video and the other with Rashomon.

This one is similar to Jingtian, they are both purebred idiots in the entertainment industry.

Do you remember knowing about this girl in your previous life? She also posted her own artistic photos on Mekong.com?What is that?Others don't know, Guan Ling doesn't know yet.There are many female celebrities who have gained some popularity here. Once they become famous, they immediately want to completely delete this part of their past.

For example, Ma Nuo, Zhang Xinyu, Tang Yixin, and even Xiao Zhao in Shanshan is Coming are all from Misong.

But Nazha is the stupid one anyway, and now Guan Ling can save her.

Moreover, for Guan Ling, what's the point of living a new life as a Han Chinese? Wouldn't it be nice to learn another foreign language?

Thinking of this, Guan Ling's steps to leave stopped and he looked at it again.

"No wonder the Protectorate of the Western Regions was built in ancient times." Guan Ling's heart moved when he saw the beautiful Nazha on the stage.I immediately understood what the ancients thought.How could such a piece of land not be nationalized?
This is really a typical XJ beauty, with outstanding temperament that is difficult to conceal.

In the middle, the display on the stage ended. Guan Ling arrived backstage and walked straight in the direction of Nazha.

"Director Guan. Is it Director Guan?"

Suddenly, there was a burst of excited exclamations in the background.

"What's wrong?" Ding Wei heard the sound and quickly asked the assistant director next to him.

"Director Guan seemed to have entered just now. Someone among these people must know Director Guan." The assistant director didn't know what was going on.

"Let's go take a look together." Ding Wei followed the assistant director in.

Guan Ling's goal is very clear, which is Nazha, so he doesn't care about the pull of the people around him. For him, it is more important to finalize it quickly. After all, Guan Ling doesn't want to wait here for a long time.

The main reason is that this is someone else's party, and Guan Ling cannot be interrupted by others.

Striding over, Nazha looked back stupidly, then saw Guan Ling walking towards her. She was stunned for a moment and pointed at herself, "Hello, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, are you interested in joining my company?" Guan Ling asked.

Nazha looked at Guan Ling in astonishment, her ignorant eyes full of clear stupidity, "I'm still in school."

People around him who knew Guan Ling were dumbfounded.

This girl doesn't even know Guan Ling.

"Nazha, this is Director Guan. Didn't you see him standing with Director Zhang Yimou just now?" The people next to him quickly pulled Nazha's clothes.

Nazha panicked. She really didn't know what Guan Ling looked like, but when the people next to her mentioned Director Zhang Yimou and Director Guan, she suddenly came to her senses.Guan Ling should be the only director who can stand side by side with Zhang Yimou.

"Guan, hello, Director Guan, my name is Gulinazar. Baihetiyar. I, I am willing to join your company."

"It seems that my popularity is enough, but my face still hasn't caught up."

Guan Ling smiled self-deprecatingly and handed a business card to Nazha, "This is my contact information. When you are free, call me."

After saying that, Guan Ling turned around and left, saying hello to Ding Wei who came to watch the fun on the way.

He left, but the backstage exploded.

"Nazha, you posted it. This is the biggest director in the country right now. He actually contacted you."

"This girl is extremely lucky." She was still a little jealous.

"This is to promote you to be an actor. You just told Director Guan that you were in school." Some people were speechless for a while.

But in an instant, Guan Ling took the initiative to leave contact information for a girl, and this matter spread all over the background in an instant.

Nazha was already confused. After all, she was only 16 years old and had no such experience at all.

Amid the compliments from everyone, she didn't know what to do.

Ding Wei came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Director Ding, Director Guan just came over and gave me a business card and told me to contact him then." Nazha told the truth.

Ding Wei was a little surprised when he heard it, thinking no wonder these people on the field were so tasty.

However, Director Guan's eyes were really good. He actually took the initiative to talk to a newcomer, and for this choice, he chose the most beautiful one from the Uyghur ethnic group this time.

"Hurry up and get in touch when the party is over," Ding Wei said. "Seize this opportunity. You will be among the top female stars."

Nazha was stunned and nodded heavily.

……

Eleven at night.

Guan Ling received the call.

"Hello, Director Guan, I am Nazha. Where are you? Can we meet?"

"Come to Houhai. The address is XXX."

Guan Ling hesitated and reported the address of the courtyard.
