China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 142 Cannes, the popularity of Tongtian Empire!Interview surprise!
On April 4, Iron Man was released.

Due to Guan Ling's influence on Huayi, Huayi's "The King of Kung Fu" has just been launched, which also resulted in the release of "Iron Man" without much competition.

On its first day of release alone, "Iron Man" grossed more than 1400 million yuan at the domestic box office.

This box office is enough to make the producers happy. Paramount Pictures is very excited and wants to increase publicity in China.

The high box office of "2012" in China has completely detonated the Chinese film market and made Hollywood blockbusters pay more and more attention to this country's huge film market.

A lot of foreign capital has also begun to enter China to build cinemas and prepare theater chains for the mainland.

Robert Downey Jr. instantly became the most popular actor in mainland China.

This most talented actor in Hollywood, who was still entangled with drugs a few years ago and did not completely break away from drugs until 2005, has become a new idol for many domestic audiences.

"Iron Man", as the debut film of Fantastic Studio, also made Paramount Pictures favor the studio.

Guan Ling actually wanted to go to the movies, mainly to meet Mu Tingting. The filming of "Nightclub" was finished. Guan Ling was going to eat and drink with Mu Tingting, and then let the noon sun start filming "Peacock Feathers". Although this TV series It's not that popular, but if Guan Ling wants to win praise, he won't use classics in every drama. Things like TV series, with their popularity and exposure, are good enough for actors.

What's more, the quality of "Peacock Feather" is not bad.

However, due to the publicity and distribution issues of "Tongtian Empire", things did not take shape.

Mainly because China Film and Television released rumors that "Bongtian Empire" may participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival.

As soon as the news came out, the Internet exploded.

Just these five words about Guan Ling's new movie are enough to make the audience go crazy.

Lingyun Media’s phone calls were inundated with enthusiastic netizens.

Many viewers and fans who had a lot of free time asked for trailers and release times, so they went straight to the Lingyun Media staff and broke down. The girl at the front desk lay on the table and kept crying.

"Hey, is this Lingyun Media Company? Please ask Director Guan, when will we be able to see the posters and promotional videos? After going to Cannes, we will let people over there see them first, but our domestic netizens will not be able to see them. Bar?"

"Director Guan, this movie was successfully produced in such a short time. Will it be as good as "2012"?"

This made Guan Ling extremely annoyed.

The entertainment industry has been very quiet recently, except for the embarrassment caused by the blog scandal. The news that Guan Ling's new movie is about to be released once caused the entertainment industry to go crazy.

"Guan Ling's new drama is about to be released, and the fantasy universe of "Detective Dee" is about to begin. Is this the Sherlock Holmes of Mainland China?"

"Guan Ling's film was sent to Cannes. It's surprising whether the film will be released nationwide in May?"

"Guan Ling's film participated in the Cannes Film Festival. I wonder if it will win another award?"

The media didn't know the specific situation, so they naturally publicized it online.

Generally speaking, the difference between film festivals and release times is not too long, so the Internet believes that Guan Ling may release the film in May.

After the craziness caused by "2012", many people are looking forward to Guan Ling's movies. Compared with the story of Zhang Yimou's filming, people still prefer the commercial aspect of Guan Ling's movies.

Therefore, if we talk about the current domestic major commercial film directors, in terms of awards and status, if Guan Ling and Zhang Yimou are ranked first, there is still some controversy.

But from a commercial perspective, Guan Ling's youth, handsomeness, wealth and the quality of his films definitely make him the well-deserved number one director in the country.

Zhang Yimou is incomparable.

Unable to resist unwarranted speculation on the Internet, Guan Ling still shared the follow-up arrangements for the film during the interview.

"First of all, "Detective Dee: The Empire" will indeed participate in the Cannes Film Festival, but we will not receive any awards in the competition section because the purpose of "Detective Dee: The Empire" is only for publicity, so it will only participate in the non-competition section.

Secondly, the film's release period is currently scheduled for the end of June or early July. Please stay tuned for the information we release for specific information.

The reason why the release time is relatively short is that the film may have to be released in a foreign country and requires coordination among many parties. "

After the interview was released, the pursuit and interception of Guan Ling finally became less intense.

…………

Time enters May.

Guan Ling's heart was always beating. He had vaguely revealed to teacher Ye Zhiping before that the school could organize a sports meeting before Mother's Day, so that at least most students would be outdoors, but there were many things that Guan Ling could not say clearly.

We can only wait to see what kind of ending it will be.

There are many movies to be released in May, so taking advantage of the popularity such as Guan Ling's online announcement that the movie will be released at the end of June, many companies have launched promotions.

Guan Ling took a quick glance at it. In fact, he didn't know much about it. He only remembered Guo Degang's "Hu Sanniang and the Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying" and "The Green-Faced Beast Yang Zhi". As for "One Man's Olympics", he took a look It was performed by Hu Jun, but Guan Ling really had no impression.

But since Guan Ling said the release time.

The producers of the movie, which was originally scheduled to be released at the end of June or early July, suddenly panicked.

For example, the producer of "Fine Dance", starring Chen Xiaochun, was in a panic. Fu Guangyang, as the director, even contacted the company, thinking about changing the schedule.

Guan Ling didn't know these things because Zhang Ziyi called him and wanted to go to Cannes with Guan Ling.

After asking in surprise, I found out that Zhang Ziyi had nothing to do this year, but she had received an invitation letter, so she went to continue to brush her face.

Guan Ling naturally agreed if he didn't reach out to hit the smiling person.

It's just that this time in Cannes, Guan Ling originally planned to let the leading actors of the crew go together. Liu Dehua, Fan Bingbing, and Zhu Yawen are definitely going. For the others, Guan Ling will notify them whether to go to see them. .

Because the movie was just for publicity, Guan Ling didn't care that much whether they went or not.

…………

The atmosphere of the Olympic Games is getting stronger and stronger.

Since the song "BJ Welcomes You" was released on April 4, it took only one day to sweep all BJ's.

Then it spread rapidly across the country.

One hundred stars sang with all their heart and soul, bringing out the passion of the song.

Due to the catchy nature of the song, everyone quickly started singing it.
Guan Ling saw the video and felt that he was quite photogenic.

During the last filming, Guan Ling didn't care about anyone else. Only Liu Huan and a few others were in front of Guan Ling. This time I watched the video carefully and found that in addition to Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, Liu Yan, Huang Bo and others under his banner, He sang a line in the video, and the others are now half of the domestic music scene. We also saw Huaer Band and 5566 in the video. JJ and Han Geng are still very young in the video.

"Director Guan Da, you are great at filming and singing." Liu Yifei also saw the video and called Guan Ling.

"You're not bad at singing either."

"I learned it from my friend who is a singer." Liu Yifei was quite shy, "I have a very good relationship with Liangying. She gave me a lot of guidance."

"It's true that you are the first one to look like a human being." Liu Yifei said with a smile, "Congratulations. It seems that I will have to hug Director Guan's lap tightly from now on."

"No," Guan Ling teased, "Only if you let me hold your thigh, your goal can be achieved." There was a reaction on the other side, and there was silence for several seconds before the voice came over.

"Guan Ling, you've been feeling a little bold lately and you want to tease me every day."

The other side was quite angry, "If you like it, you should pursue me. If you don't like it, why would you say such a thing?"

The phone beeped and hung up.

Guan Ling looked at the phone speechlessly. He was really angry over there, but what he said was very interesting. If you like it, can you say this?
…………

Time flies by.

The land of China collapsed instantly, and the earth shook.

A slight shock was felt in the capital. Guan Ling was sitting in the office when he heard the loud noise and looked at the watch in his hand.

He slumped in the chair and said nothing.

Still here.

When the news came out, the whole country was shocked and the whole world was shocked.

The entertainment industry fell silent.

All walks of life fell silent.

Grief spread from everyone's heart.

……

Jia Zhangke called. This time, his film "24 Cities" was shortlisted for the main competition. It was originally scheduled to be ranked first in the main competition on May 5.

But after this incident occurred, Jia Zhangke no longer had the intention to go.

In addition, there are many invitations to Cannes this time, not only Liu Fendou's film "Half Sea Water, Half Fire", but also "Ashes of Time" directed by Wang Jiawei. People who originally wanted to go to China are not few.

"No, we have to go." Guan Ling looked at Jia Zhangke, "We need not only our own assistance, but also global help, equipment, and funds. We can prepare relevant facilities outside, and Cannes is very good. Publicity channels that can spread all over the world.”

"I understand." Jia Zhangke responded.

"Okay, I'll go."

……

The news media is paying attention to this matter all the time.

Many celebrities in the entertainment industry also began to organize donations.

When Lingyun Media saw the amount of donation signed by Guan Ling, the staff were shocked, it was 1000 million.

This amount is really unimaginable.

But Guan Ling did not let the company publicize it. He only let Lingyun Media share the first donation. Because he donated too much, it was easy to offend many people invisibly.

……

In the middle of the month, Guan Ling and others still boarded the plane to Cannes.

Chairman Sean Penn personally picked up Guan Ling.

Sean Penn felt very regretful when he met Guan Ling for the first time.

"Guan, I'm sorry to hear this news. If you have any needs during this film festival, please contact me and I will try my best to help you solve it."

On the red carpet, Fan Bingbing no longer wanted to compete for beauty.

She wore a long black dress with a white flower on her chest.

All the people in the crowd were wearing black clothes.

The opening film was the American "Blind Flu", which attracted a lot of praise.

On the second day, the first movie in the viewing section was Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which was very popular.

Until the fourth day, as the second film in the viewing section, "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" officially premiered.

At the movie viewing scene, Guan Ling saw Spielberg.

"Guan, I think there is something worth learning from your movies. I saw you watching my movie the day before yesterday, so this time, I will definitely comment on yours."

Seeing Guan Ling not smiling, Spielberg was not surprised.

Many spectators also entered the scene, many of whom were local Chinese in France.

Due to the presence of Liu Dehua and other main creators, as a Chinese-language film, this drama is still very popular, so many Chinese media are also very excited, and many foreign media are also snapping photos. Due to the disaster in China, this drama The release of the movie is also a part worth reporting in the eyes of foreigners.

"We hope to use innovative methods to express some things that are often seen in martial arts novels or movies, such as disguise, acupuncture, etc. Detective Dee's world will bring everyone a new experience."

At the press conference, Guan Ling's expression was focused on movies,

"I have always felt that Di Renjie is a detective with strong logic, but he is not like Sherlock Holmes. Compared with foreign detectives, our Chinese detectives have a strong sense of social responsibility. Therefore, Di Renjie's artistic conception is different from theirs. "

"In this film, I have a very subtle emotional relationship with Di Renjie and Wu Zetian. It is very complicated and difficult to handle, so I drink with the director every day to find the feeling." Fan Bingbing said that the action scenes in the film are the most intense since she started filming. of.

The first scene is a hit!

The attendance rate at the preview screening was nearly [-]%!
The attendance rate at the test screening of "Detective Dee: The Empire" was nearly [-]%, and no audience left during the movie. Some international filmmakers and media showed great interest in the film. After the screening, The audience even responded with warm applause.

Agence France-Presse described "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" as Guan Ling's "latest blockbuster, a mystery story about the Tang Dynasty."

Among them, Andy Lau's performance received the most praise, and many viewers believed that his role as Dee Renjie was mysterious, wise and impressive.

In the rating survey, many international filmmakers gave "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" a score of 8 to 9 (out of 10), which is quite high.

A French media said: "The movie has beautiful images, fast rhythm, innovative and exciting action design, and is full of romantic and beautiful poetry. It is Guan Ling's latest masterpiece!"

Even the Cannes Film Festival officials launched the "Tang Dynasty" feast while it was still hot!
It is hoped that the film's main creators, famous domestic and foreign filmmakers and other celebrities will all be present to participate in the grand event, recreating the craze caused by the Dutch diplomat Gaulopet's first introduction of "The Case of Dickson" to the West more than [-] years ago, taking everyone through the millennium of time and space, and leading the prosperous event. The king of Tang weather returns.

Although the popularity of the movie this time is not worthy of publicity in the context of the disaster.

But Guan Ling is still holding his breath in his heart, and hopes to gain reputation for Chinese-language films at Cannes.

But at this time, a very harsh sound appeared.

Because some Hong Kong media have been interviewing everyone about their views on Wenchuan, an accident happened when they interviewed an American actress named Sharon Stone.
