China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 150 The box office record of Chinese-language movies is broken!Tangwei’s choice!

Inside the theater, it received rave reviews!
Many directors came over to talk about the scene and praised Guan Ling's new movie.

"I have read the book "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", but I didn't expect that Director Guan could use such visual special effects to show it. I have to say that although Director Guan is young, the imagination in his mind really amazed me. "

Wendi Deng's praise was like a breath of spring breeze, and Guan Ling felt very comfortable listening to it.

Nolan and others also praised it. This movie is considered a unique movie in North America.

"Guan, I didn't expect that China would have such a legendary detective in the 7th century. I have to say that although I haven't read Gao Luopei's novel, I will definitely go back and read it this time."

In fact, North American audiences also like detective films. Most of the ones they usually see are pure mysteries. Now that they see suspenseful detectives produced by China appearing on the screen, everyone can't help but be surprised.

The film's title in North America is hilariously translated as Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Fire.

Very straightforward description.

After the premiere, everyone had a good relationship and chatted with each other at the cocktail party.

Guan Ling saw Xu Jinglei. She was dressed gorgeously, but she didn't go on stage just now. Instead, she hid in a corner.

Meeting Guan Ling's gaze, Xu Jinglei walked over, holding a wine glass.

"I didn't expect Director Guan to have such a big reputation in Hollywood. I was embarrassed to go on stage just now."

"Director Xu? Why did you come to the United States?"

"I'm not doing well in China recently, so I came to the United States to further my studies in directing."

Guan Ling thought about it for a while and realized that the other party's poor condition was just an excuse. As one of the top four Xiaohuadan characters, Xu Jinglei's relationship with the Beijing circle has become increasingly shallow, resulting in the distance between Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun and Zhao Zhetian. There are quite a few gaps.

As a eldest lady who has slept with many people, Director Xu has recently changed his taste and started playing love games with Huang Jue, Zhang Yadong and others.

It is said that in order to maintain the popularity, this guy and Han Han flirted with each other on blogs in the past few months.

I actually want to get some writer's attention.

The so-called most talented woman in the Beijing circle is indeed in a bad situation now after breaking away from Wang Shuo and others.

"Don't worry about me, Director Guan. You go and do your work first. This is my first time watching a Chinese movie in a foreign cinema. I have to say that Fan Bingbing and others can sign in to Director Guan's company. They belong to them. Blessing. I believe this movie will be a hit at home and abroad."

"Then thank you Director Xu Jiyan." Guan Ling smiled and went to greet Li An and others.

At this moment, Tang Wei came to Guan Ling's side.

"Director Guan, when the movie ended just now, I checked my phone and the domestic box office for the first day came out."

She looked very excited.

"How many?"

After hearing this, Guan Ling became a little nervous. It was a mule or a horse, and he finally had to be pulled out for a run.

"The box office on the first day was 400 million." Tang Wei's eyes were bright, "Director Guan, you have broken the domestic record for Chinese-language films."

Cheng Long heard the sound and came over, "How much?"

"Brother Cheng Long," Tang Wei greeted Cheng Long and said again, "Thirty-four million."

"Damn it." Cheng Long glanced at Guan Ling, "Although it's more than 2012 million less than my "2000" box office, but for Chinese movies, this box office is too exaggerated!"

This report card can make all domestic manufacturers restless.Cheng Long knew it very well.

Because in the whole of China, there is no movie with a daily box office of over 3000 million. Zhang Yimou's "The Golden Armor" only had a box office of over 2700 million on the first day.This drama holds the box office record for domestic films in the Mainland.

The last time this person was involved was Guan Ling's "2012", an English film.

After all, "2012" was worth the price of admission, which was very expensive at the time and went through a long publicity period.

The promotion of "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" was obviously on the wrong side, but when the box office came out, Cheng Long was completely shocked.Because this almost indicates that this movie will definitely break the domestic movie box office record of [-] million.

"Director Guan, how many credits did this play cost?"

"Not counting city construction and publicity investment, the investment is less than 8000 million."

Cheng Long was silent, and so was Tang Wei beside him.

There is no need to calculate this return on investment ratio.Because the box office on the first day was 400 million, it felt very easy to break [-] million. In other words, excluding copyright fees, this drama could earn Guan Ling another [-] million.

Not to mention the North American box office and the Asian box office.

This is a big gain for Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, you really don't earn anything by filming."

Ang Lee came over and was convinced. It can be seen that he also knows the first-day box office in China. Compared with those North American directors, the Chinese understand the value of the first-day box office better.

After this battle, no one dares to say that Guan Ling took the first-day domestic box office with an English film, because this time it is a completely Chinese film, and all the major domestic directors have been pushed to the ground.

Tang Wei looked at Guan Ling with burning eyes, as if he was determined about something.

……

Domestically, "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" was indeed a hit.

Reporters interviewing Lingyun Media have almost surrounded the entire company's door.

Whether it is Fan Bingbing, Chen Guofu, or even various staff members of Lingyun Media, they are all interviewees for reporters. If they can't catch Guan Ling, they will drag others to increase the popularity.

Liu Jialing's popularity also caused the sword-eyebrow costume in China. Everyone was making fun of it, trying to imitate Wu Zetian's domineering attitude, but they only learned to be funny.

At All Day Entertainment, Wang Jinghua looked at the first-day box office report in her hand and clenched her fists fiercely.

Zhu Yawen sat in front of her.

"Yawen, now the conflict between me and Chengtian is clear. My status is getting higher and higher, and Mr. Wu is becoming more and more wary of me. I want to start my own business again. If you follow me, your status They will be the top batch under my banner. How about you consider the details?"

For Zhu Yawen, Wang Jinghua cannot be regarded as a normal actor because he is related to Ling.

Wang Jinghua knew very well that her own promotion and operation of Zhu Yawen would not allow him to reach his current status.

And as long as Zhu Yawen is grasped, it means having a close cooperative relationship with Guan Ling.

"Sister Hua, Director Guan has indeed discussed this topic with me. If possible, I would like to go out and set up a personal studio independently."

Zhu Yawen looked at Wang Jinghua, "Your cooperation with Sister Hua will continue, but the share will definitely not be the same as before."

"Is this what Director Guan said?"

"Yes, he talked to me about this when we were in Cannes."

"Does he know there is a conflict between me and Chengtian?"

"I don't know about this. He told me that if I had the chance, I would still have to set up a personal studio, because if there are suitable roles in the future, he would give them to me."

Wang Jinghua took a breath. She was not one to be coy. She just thought about it and said, "I agree with your request, and we will always handle your various publicity and public relations as top actors."

"Then thank you, Miss Hua."

From "Crossing Guandong" to supporting roles in "2012" and "The Myth" to the popularity of "Di Renjie", Wang Jinghua knows that Zhu Yawen is no longer a young actor who can be manipulated.

All this was given by Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, Director Guan, every film can make money, you don't give excuses to other directors."

Looking at the box office results of 400 million yuan on the table, Wang Jinghua felt extremely dazzled.

As a top agent, generally speaking, even directors would give her a thumbs-down, but Wang Jinghua feels that in the future, she will have to catch up with Guan Ling's movies on her own.

"Is he really a monster?"

Thinking about his unsatisfactory son, Director Guan felt that he was not much older than Dong Zijian. Why did that bitch of mine hit CF every day? Wang Jing was so angry.

But fortunately, at least the relationship between Guan Ling and Zhu Yawen, who has always cooperated very well.This is absolutely great news.

……

"Director Guan, congratulations, you broke the record again."

Although Han Sanpin's call arrived late, Guan Ling heard the cheerful smile on the other side and could already feel that the folds on the other side's face must have blossomed into smiles.

"Dr. Han, please don't talk to me about Schrödinger's record. It's a fact that it can't compare to "2012", and adding those attributive words in front of it has no effect."

"Hey, that's wrong." Han Sanpin said, "Chinese-language movies and English-language movies still need to be distinguished, and things have to be done objectively. It will be strange when Chinese-language movies break the box office record of English-language movies. "

"But that must be the goal of Chinese movies. Otherwise, I would be in China now, why would I have to go to the United States to suffer this crime."

"Speaking of which, I saw on the domestic news that seven or eight major Hollywood directors went to the North American premiere today?"

"Yes. Director Zhang Yimou and Director Jiang Wen invited Quentin to come, and the others are all people who have some cooperative relations."

"Awesome. Your arrogance is much bigger than Director Zhang's before." From the mouth of a cultured person like Director Han, he still said an awesome sentence.

"I'm looking forward to the movie box office in North America." Han Sanpin said, "I've been keeping an eye on the domestic one. The attendance rate is very good, and the reputation is also very good. Even if there are some deliberately bad reviews, it doesn't hurt. Follow-up publicity We will work with other investors to do this, and cinemas owned by Wanda, Dadi Lingyun and China Film will also work hard on this.

On the North American side, I'll leave it to Guan Guan. "

"Don't worry, this series of movies has a good beginning, which is very important for the follow-up." Guan Ling understood the importance.

What a series of movies needs is word-of-mouth.

A film that can attract foreign audiences even in Cannes will naturally have a good reputation.What Guan Ling has to do is to promote and promote this movie in North America.

Therefore, it is necessary for Gai Nao Te to continue promoting it, even if it donates some sponsorship fees to the media.

……

After answering a few phone calls that he had to answer, Guan Ling continued back to the reception.

Quentin wants to cooperate more with Guan Ling in the future.

After Li Anze came over, he chatted with Guan Ling for a while.

"Director Guan, I have to leave soon. Before I leave, I would like you to do me a favor."

"Director Li, just say it directly."

"Actually, I'm just asking," Li An pointed at Tang Wei, who was coming over, "it's about her."

Guan Ling squinted his eyes and realized something. "She contacted me and wanted to go to London to study and improve in acting. Originally I thought this would be a good thing, but I really couldn't bear to let such a talent go to waste." Ang Lee laughed at himself. Laughing, "After all, the matter of being banned has something to do with me."

"I know that your movie, Director Guan, will definitely be released in China. It will be difficult for her to appear in your movie. But now that Director Guan has so many cooperation projects in Hollywood, why not consider letting her join Ferris Lingyun?" Someone can lead her? Any role will work."

Li An seemed to feel that his request was a bit unreasonable, and said with a smile,
"I only came up with this idea after seeing the actions of the United States after Director Guan spoke at Cannes. After all, I am affiliated with the Sixth National Congress, while Motian Lingyun is an independent production company, choosing roles for her. From this perspective, Skyline is more convenient."

"She's not cut out to be in Hollywood."

After Guan Ling finished speaking, Tang Wei was stunned for a moment, and Li An was also a little embarrassed, "What Director Guan said makes sense, in fact, I also..."

"But have you ever considered developing in Japan and South Korea?"

Guan Ling looked at Tang Wei, "Take the Korean film industry as an example. It is developing very fast. Korean directors such as Bong Joon-ho have even begun to make a name for themselves in the international film industry. However, many Korean films are difficult to be released in China, so they go to Japan and South Korea can not only temporarily avoid being affected by the ban, but also help improve your acting skills.

This is much better than playing some unknown supporting roles in Hollywood. "

"Director Guan's words really make sense." Li An was a little surprised.

He really didn't expect it.

"Although Lingyun Media currently has no specific cooperation with South Korea, it may invest in some film and TV series projects in South Korea in the future. If you are willing, I can help you choose some roles there, but if you are unblocked , you can only sign with Lingyun Media."

Guan Ling thought for a while and said.

In an instant, tears welled up in his eyes.

She walked to Guan Ling's side and stretched out her hands, "Thank you, thank you, Director Guan."

When Guan Ling shook her hand, he scratched her palm slightly and said, "No need to thank you. Your acting skills are outstanding. I also believe that the ban is only temporary."

Tang Wei felt the feeling of being scratched on the palm of his hand, and his heart suddenly started to pound.

"Then I'll leave first, and you two will discuss the details." Li An said goodbye, and then Tang Wei followed Guan Ling until everyone was sent away before Guan Ling returned to the hotel.

……

Tang Wei lay on the hotel bed, knowing in her heart that this was the best opportunity for her.

He was banned and completely excluded from the Chinese film industry.

Plunging her life into darkness.

During this period, she felt that her life had experienced ups and downs and earth-shaking changes.

But she was powerless to change the environment, so she could only adapt.

After a while, Guan Ling came out from the shower.

Tang Wei rushed forward.

After experiencing being blocked, she has greater flexibility than many female celebrities.

So she knew what she should grab.

Guan Ling sat by the bed, stroking her hair, feeling her warmth, and feeling that she was so sensible and heart-warming.

In fact, Guan Ling is not trying to help her, but because there are many Korean movies. Guan Ling knows that it is difficult to shoot in China, but it can be done in South Korea, and the copyright can also be sold around the world, so the return rate is not low. If not Tang Wei, he might not have thought of this.

It can be said that Tang Wei made Guan Ling think of another way to make money today.

But now the fact is that, in Tang Wei's view, Guan Ling found a way out for her.

Therefore, she doesn't mind repaying Guan Ling.

No matter how crazy and wanton.

Guan Ling held her face and looked at her eyes full of curiosity, her charming eyes were as silky as silk. This reminded Guan Ling of the scene in the movie, but this time it was more realistic.

"Your acting skills are very good. As long as you listen to me, I can make you a Korean superstar."

Guan Ling's words made Tang Wei even more crazy. She lowered her head again and kissed Guan Ling hard.

In his previous life, Tang Wei did go to London, and then he was wandering and depressed there for a long time. He could only make some money by painting portraits of passers-by on the streets. He was even photographed and ridiculed online in China.

I watched him build a tall building, and watched his building collapse.

Tang Wei lived to be almost 30 years old and had nothing.

But now, Tang Wei knew that the person in front of her was her only chance.

After tossing all night, the two finally fell asleep.

In the early morning, Tang Wei covered herself with quilt and opened her eyes first, looking at the ceiling in the sky. She felt like she was Wang Jiazhi in "Lust, Caution", because this feeling was very different from that time, but for the characters, they did Same thing.

She felt that maybe life was like this.

A few days ago, she had a brief moment of regret. She cried a few times and traveled to Greece. She walked on the ancient streets and felt lonely inside.

But she sobered up.

Fate was very kind to her. When she encountered the greatest darkness in her life, Director Guan completely entered her life yesterday.

Director Guan had a lot of chats with her last night and wanted to instill in her all his understanding of acting skills. He almost wanted to feed her into her mouth.

And she felt like she really learned.

And she learned very deeply. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that the words that Director Guan output yesterday had been completely chewed into her stomach.

These are some of the experiences that Director Guan has accumulated since becoming an international director, and these experiences also let Tang Wei know that Director Guan really likes her. If he didn't like her, he would not give so much guidance.

She was glad that she no longer had an ex-boyfriend.

But at least she got a hold of the great director.

Thinking of this, she covered herself again.

……

"On the first day of July 7st, the box office revenue of "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" was 1 million."

"Two days after its release, the box office of "Detective Detective" is still growing rapidly. As of 6700 p.m., the box office has exceeded [-] million."

Fan Bingbing was doing a road show outside and was sitting in his RV when he saw the news. Suddenly his nose felt sore.

I really didn’t spend my time with Director Guan in vain.

She finally tasted the taste of explosion.

Fan Bingbing is praised in the news now.

"Extremely malleable, Fan Bingbing creates the most heroic Shangguan Wan'er."

"There is a sense of femininity in the richness, and Fan Bingbing's eyes are stunning! This movie will surely become a new peak for Fan Bingbing's movies."

"Sister Bingbing, North America has released the first-day box office."

The assistant was also looking at his phone. Suddenly he saw box office news in North America breaking on the news, and he immediately handed over the phone.

"The popular Cannes film "Detective Dee" has had great success at the North American box office, opening across the United States with a box office of US$930 million on its first day."

"Hollywood director creates miracles for Chinese-language films, breaking the first-day box office record of "Hero"!"

"Quentin was interviewed and everyone praised the movie "Detective Detective". He claimed that Fan Bingbing was the most impressed. He said that this kind of ancient Tang suit beauty may have a market in Hollywood. Not surprisingly, Hollywood is already close to her. ”

Many television media outlets across the United States were extremely shocked by the box office success of this movie in the United States.

Although there are no big competitors recently, "Wall-E" has only been in theaters for five days, and the box office has already exceeded 1870 million US dollars. Yesterday's box office reached [-] million US dollars.

Under such circumstances, "Detective Dee" can still take away more than 900 million US dollars at the box office. This miracle has to be amazed by the entire Hollywood!

Damn it, it’s just a Chinese movie after all!

To put it bluntly, when you enter a theater, you also read the subtitles, and people may not be able to match them.

But the box office is so high!
This shows how effective the premiere promotion is.

Fan Bingbing froze when he saw the news coming from the United States.

"If I think well, can this box office exceed [-] million in North America?" She stuttered a little.

"We can't see the word-of-mouth situation yet, but I guess 100 million won't be a problem. Previously, I saw in the news that the box office of "Hearing Girl" was only over [-] million US dollars on the first day, but the situation was different. The word-of-mouth of this drama was very high at that time. "The assistant was also very excited. In her opinion, it is possible for this drama to break [-] million.

"How many days will it take for my road show to go to the United States?" Fan Bingbing was a little anxious.

"The road show will last for at least a week," the assistant wondered. "Is Sister Bingbing in a hurry to go to the United States?"

Fan Bingbing didn't answer, just picked up his phone and sent a text message to Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, I want to reward you hard. What do you think I should wear? How about Shangguan Wan'er's costume in the movie? It can be empty inside."

At this moment, Fan Bingbing felt so close to Hollywood for the first time.

……

"It exploded! This is a complete explosion!"

Yu Dong touched his head and looked at the North American box office record in his hand. He regretted it.

He really didn't expect that, in fact, from this movie, if he had invested at that time, it would have cost hundreds of millions to invest in building the city, and it would be impossible to make back the money at the box office. Moreover, it was a Chinese-language movie, and in his opinion, it would not sell much in foreign countries. , so he withdrew.

But now it seems that he has done something wrong again.

Not only did this drama not lose money, but it also made a lot of money, and Guan Ling continued to develop the sequel. After making enough money, the investors even spent a whole city in vain.

Thinking of this, Yu Dong's head hurts!

Look at the entertainment website again.

All the news about Guan Ling and this movie.

Full exposure!
Everyone in the industry is fucking stupid.

It’s enough for you to make English-language Hollywood blockbusters and sell them well in Hollywood. After all, you have a high standard.

If you make a Chinese-language film, can it sell so much at the box office on the first day in Hollywood?Are you still human?
