China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 147 New movie!Liu Yifei's scandal
"Guan, you shot so many reshoots for "Kung Fu Panda", did you have enough time?"

America, inside Motian Lingyun's office.

Gai Naote looked very surprised that DreamWorks could accept Guan Ling's proposal.

"They have time. Since they asked me to be a consultant and editor, I definitely want to make the movie "Kung Fu Panda" to the extreme."

"Since they want to use Western movies to capture the core of China, I cannot accept that this animation will cause any political metaphor type of criticism."

"I agree with this. The market this movie targets is China, which is definitely the largest market outside of North America. It's only natural that they can accept this point of view you put forward." Gao Nao nodded and understood.

In this month, in addition to going to DreamWorks with Spielberg and reviewing various materials for "Kung Fu Panda", Guan Ling made many suggestions for DreamWorks.

As for "Kung Fu Panda", the movie is a good movie, but as a national treasure, the image of the panda in the movie is quite disturbing.

Except for the so-called understanding.

The character traits of the panda shown in the movie have always been fat, ignorant, rude, irritable, and short-sighted, but then he convinced the world in the final battle.

This point cannot be delved into, because even China's own people do not want to be called a panda with invincible kung fu. This is something that DreamWorks needs to consider.

Because in the movie, the benevolent but aging Master Shifu, the righteous yet tragic Five Heroes, the brave yet violent Snow Leopard, and the kind yet cowardly Duck are all not similar to China;

Only pandas.

It is a symbol of China.

Secondly, there are some problems in the movie, mainly the final battle.

In fact, DreamWorks has already produced all the materials and even edited a sample video. The art and soundtrack are full of Chinese style.

The atmosphere and style are simply amazing.

The movie even discusses the concepts of Zen and Tao.

But all the foreshadowing in the early stage still ended up being a big bust in the final battle.

When Panda initially fought with the villain, facing his master's strongest disciple, his nonsensical attitude was similar to the core of Zhou Xingxing's movie, and his attitude was acceptable.And it also reflects the panda's talent of overcoming strength with softness.

In people's minds, isn't the panda the kind of animal that overcomes strength with softness?

This is a pleasant surprise.

However, there was no reversal in the final battle. Kung Fu Panda suddenly burst out with an invincible tonnage advantage, swatted the villain away, and easily threw him away by his tail.

Moreover, it ignores acupuncture points and its defense is instantly invincible.

He even had an epiphany about the wizard's finger.

As the biggest boss in the entire movie, the talented and fierce villain Shadow Leopard was suddenly defeated.

But the panda returned and became the fat guy who was gasping for breath climbing stairs.

The conversation between Guan Ling and DreamWorks was that even if the decisive battle scene was not deleted, the hook must be added in front.

The epiphany of the decisive battle must be well-founded.

Instead of letting the protagonist and justice win, he suddenly became too powerful in the end.

The key to victory turns out to be its own talent, which is understanding, strength and 100% defense.These have nothing to do with the master's teachings, and they will not be very convincing for the ending of the movie.

"If you want "Kung Fu Panda" to succeed, you must let the panda have what he has learned, instead of just relying on his own optimism.

After all, the five masters, Huniu and the others, had been training with great concentration for a long time, and were finally beaten to a pulp by the villain. "

This is the conversation between Guan Ling and DreamWorks.

"This is just my opinion. But I think that even if we need to modify it, it is best to make everything logically reasonable and reduce costs, so my suggestion is to reshoot the footage and add the scene of why the panda can have an epiphany. For example, he also practiced very hard in the early stage, but he didn't get the method, but some things have been infiltrated into his body."

Guan Ling just gave examples casually, and even used Chinese Kung Fu as an example. Sometimes Kung Fu is not necessarily real Kung Fu, but can also be borrowed from strength and momentum. It is really impossible to use the plot of online novels. Anyway, it is just an epiphany. Directly add the will of heaven of a panda village to the panda.

DreamWorks was really interested, and Guan Ling was stunned.

"Guan, what is the will of heaven you are talking about?" They actually wanted to put mythology into it.

Guan Ling covered his forehead and said:
"I don't have to add this kind of thing, I just don't want the audience to have no psychological expectations for the process of the protagonist becoming stronger, and a reasonable turning point is needed. Although the protagonist is extremely talented, he also needs time to grow and realize his enlightenment. .

For most people, they are just ordinary people without talents in real life.As a wizard, we may never realize it in our lifetime.No one can be as open-minded as the panda in the movie, and can become a 'hero' just by being lazy.

The master in the movie, when faced with his talented apprentice, did not see the essence or discover the talent. He just asked Master Oogway to persuade and believe over and over again. Until the end, the master did not say a word to the panda. 'I believe you can win', rather than 'Master Oogway is right' as in the current material. "

Guan Ling's words caused discussions within DreamWorks, which wanted to reshoot, and asked its employees to work overtime on "Kung Fu Panda" with editing and dubbing team services.

DreamWorks is still revamping the movie recently, and Guan Ling occasionally goes to watch it. Not much material has been added, but some tricks that were originally revealed in the decisive battle have been briefly foreshadowed.

It depends on whether the audience takes it seriously or not.

After that, Guan Ling returned to the company and started preparing for a new movie with Gai Naote.

The new movie is none other than "Hurricane Rescue". Gai Nao Te has basically completed all the preliminary preparations and is just waiting for Guan Ling's order to start filming.

The male protagonist Cheng Long.

Cheng Long has been contacted about this, and Cheng Long is very interested.

The heroine was specially selected by Gai Nao, and there is almost no change from the original version, except that the heroine is Liu Yifei.

……

Speaking of Liu Yifei.

She has been highly praised in China recently. After the filming of "Meng Hua Lu" was completed, she went to shoot several commercials.

After the earthquake in Sichuan Province, Liu Yifei directly donated 100 million yuan and took the rescue team straight to Sichuan Province.

Although it's back now.

But she was there and saved a little girl's life.

It's just that Liu Yifei has been involved in sexy news recently.

The reason was because she and Yi Jianlian filmed a Yogurt commercial together.

At that time, Yi Jianlian eagerly asked Liu Yifei for her contact information.

At the donation party a while ago, a reporter took a photo of Yi Jianlian and Liu Yifei sitting together. They looked familiar and smiled at each other.

The media is anxious.

After digging deeper, I actually tracked down something big.

Yi Jianlian spent more than 100 million to buy a bracelet, and even asked Liu Yifei out to give it to Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei's rejection was clearly captured on the screen.

As soon as the news came out, the entertainment circle immediately became excited.

Because Yi Jianlian is a playboy, the relationship between him and his ex Li Yahong has not yet been clearly explained.

Now he actually attacks the fairy sister.

The media has been blocking Liu Yifei recently, but in the end they blocked her mother.

In front of the reporter's microphone, Liu Xiaoli's eyes were firm.

"Please stop spreading unfounded rumors. There is no relationship between Yifei and Yi Jianlian." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile, "Also, I don't think Yifei will like athletes. In many ways, she is very similar to mine. , when I first started, I didn’t want to be friends with athletes, because in my opinion, they were all overdrawing their bodies and youth.

So I think everyone should pay more attention to the upcoming Olympics rather than Yifei's private life.The hard work of those athletes on the field is more related to the honor of the country, isn't it? "

Liu Xiaoli's speech may seem a bit offensive, but it is indeed very effective and directly shatters such rumors.

When Guan Ling got the news, he called Liu Yifei. "I read on the Internet that Yi Jianlian gave you a bracelet worth more than 100 million yuan. Is it true?"

"It's true." Liu Yifei said, there is no need to lie.When Yi Jianlian contacted her to send something, she was shocked.

"You don't want something worth more than 100 million yuan if you say you don't want it?"

"You also gave me a heroine nominated for the best film in Hollywood." Liu Yifei said, "Isn't this more useful than 100 million?"

"It's been a while since I last saw you, and you've become nicer to talk to." Guan Ling felt in a good mood.

"Of course, isn't this because you are thinking about the movie that Director Guan mentioned in Cannes?"

Liu Yifei felt happy as she talked.

"why are you laughing?"

"Although I didn't say anything, after I asked you the question, what I was thinking about was your reply to me that I have a role in the Cannes film. I couldn't help but laugh."

Guan Ling was extremely amused.

"So, does Director Guan Da have confidence in the Palme d'Or?"

"Do your best." Guan Ling's voice came over the phone, "By the way, I have some good news for you. You can laugh now."

"what?"

"The movie I want to make requires a female character who is about the same age as you. Let's call it the second female lead."

This side was suddenly confused.

Listening to Guan Ling's reply, Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment.

After hanging up the phone.

Liu Xiaoli brought a basin of freshly washed fruits and approached Liu Yifei.

"What's wrong? I saw that your reaction was not right just now."

"Director Guan said that he wanted to have a role in the film he applied for at the Cannes Palme d'Or."

Mother Liu was stunned.

"Really?"

"real."

The mother and daughter reacted for a while, and then they both screamed!
Although it is still unknown whether he will win the Palme d'Or, Guan Ling's choice to bring Liu Yifei to this kind of movie is a signal.

After Guan Ling hung up the phone over there, he was also thinking about the Cannes movie he wanted to make.

There is a character among them who is similar in age to Liu Yifei.It's just that it involves a custom shop. Let Liu Yifei play this role, which seems to be a bit bad for Liu Yifei's title of fairy sister.

The title of custom shop is not common in China. Perhaps it should be changed to foot washing city.

The script will definitely need to be revised later and localized to China, but the characters probably won't change too much.

Guan Ling suddenly thought of a way.

"If it were changed to a foot-washing city, wouldn't this plot be solved easily? I'd just be an extra performer and let her wash my feet. Wouldn't that be the end of it?"

Even other activities besides foot washing, as long as they can pass the review, it is not impossible to film them.

"Ha." Guan Ling suddenly became excited thinking of this. "Yi Jianlian, you are just here to watch."

Thinking of Yi Jianlian, Guan Ling felt that he really hadn't been ruthless in China, so he gave this basketball player the wrong signal.

"Is Liu Yifei someone you can touch?"

Perhaps, it's time to take action against Liu Yifei.

Guan Ling thought so in his heart.

……

In the meantime, Lu Yang also called to urge "Embroidered Spring Knife". He saw that Guan Ling was busy again.

He is in a hurry.

But there was too much work to do next, so Guan Ling hesitated.

"Tell me the truth, during this period of time, have you thoroughly understood the script of "Xiu Chun Knife"?" Guan Ling asked.

"I almost ruined the script. Senior brother."

"You tell Chen Guofu and ask him to produce for you. You will shoot, and I will ask the finance department to allocate funds." Guan Ling made the decision.

Although he is a bit younger, Guan Ling can give Lu Yang this opportunity.

He can just return to China in the meantime to provide guidance.

"Shall I do it myself?" Lu Yang was a little panicked.

"You follow your own ideas. If you don't know how to ask Ning Hao, just ask me. I'll go back and help you take a look in the meantime."

"Can I?"

"You've already eaten it all, and you're still afraid of this? Why don't you forget about it?"

"No, I'll take the photo!" Lu Yang suddenly became anxious.

……

"The domestic release of "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" will be left to you, Director Han."

Although he and Han Sanping had already decided on the release date, July 7 was coming soon, so Guan Ling still called to confirm.

Since I need to go to Hollywood, it will be difficult to go to the domestic premiere of "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" this time. However, Ning Hao and others will be there, and even many actors and creators will be participating. In addition, China Film has been attending the premiere for the past month. There will be no problem if you promote it.

"Don't worry. We won't be planning a grand premiere this time. Besides, you've made enough news in Cannes, and now most netizens are looking forward to it. We have already done all our efforts for publicity. Yes, I believe I can deliver a good answer.”

Han Sanpin is still very confident about "Empire of Heaven". Guan Ling's behavior at Cannes not only caused people at the Cannes Film Festival to donate more than 900 million yuan to Sichuan Province, but also made domestic audiences keep shouting for it. Give Guan Ling the fare.

After all, a group of people still scolded Guan Ling.

Especially with the help of Huayi.

What Hua Yi did was very unreasonable. He originally wanted to add fuel to Guan Ling's anger, but halfway through, the situation reversed.

Clues were even discovered by clever netizens.

Huayi has received a lot of ridicule this month.

"Empire of Heaven" is the first blockbuster film released since May, and its release date is set for July 7.

Therefore, the only thing that can pose a threat to "Empire of Heaven" is "Superman", which will be released on July 7.Will Smith, who is the elixir of the North American box office, will bring his new masterpiece to the domestic theaters.

The original release date of "Red Cliff" was July 7, but China Film Group still staggered it slightly. After all, this movie and "The Empire of Heaven" were both invested by China Film Group.

There is no need to compete between the two.Therefore, the release date of "Red Cliff" was adjusted to July 7.

In this way, there won't be much competition between the two domestic blockbusters.

The release date of "Nightclub" has also been set, and is scheduled to be August 8th.

In fact, Guan Ling was thinking that it would be best for "Kung Fu Panda" to be released in August, but now it seems that it may have to be postponed.
