China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 154 Returning to China
"The king of thunder films in the history of Chinese films! Wu Baige stopped talking about violent aesthetics this time and started telling jokes!"

"It's not as good as "Bongtian Empire". The first-day box office of Red Cliff was 2700 million, setting the second highest box office record for a Chinese-language blockbuster to a new high!"

"The myth of director Guan continues. After the box office failure of "Mission: Impossible", Wu Baige was defeated by Guan Ling again. The Chinese-language blockbuster with a [-] million investment ranked second in the first-day box office record."

Although "Red Cliff" was also a hit, once the investment ratio and box office performance came out, not many people in the industry praised Wu Baige. On the contrary, they understood the value of Guan Ling and Lingyun Media better.

This comparison made Wu Baige very embarrassed.

The popularity of the dreamy Tang Dynasty skyrocketed.

It is said that a very good drama will be filmed recently, called "The Secret History of Concubine Yang". The scale of Xiong Qian is comparable to that of Jia Jingwen's "The Beauty", and it will become the dream of a generation of teenagers.

One is the filming of the familiar story of the Three Kingdoms, which ranked second on the first day of recording.

You can tell who is higher or lower in terms of director level by comparing them.

"Please ask for an interview about "Red Cliff", thank you. Director Guan and I have different styles and different movie types. Please do not compare the two."

So when he was being interviewed recently, Wu Baige smiled on his face and felt mmp in his heart.

Because when we talk about "Red Cliff", "Tongtian Empire" is always inevitable.

And Wu Baige said at the premiere that he wanted to break the record, but now he is stuck, unable to get up, unable to get down, and has no tricks at all.

孽 孽!
Wu Baige recently started to change his face when he heard Guan Ling's name, or the word "ptsd" after going out.

Unlike Wu Baige, Liu Dehua has been very excited recently. Seeing Liang Chaowei deflated, it is impossible for him not to feel secretly happy.

Although his status in the entertainment industry is a little stronger, in terms of depth in the film industry, acting skills, and the partners he likes to collaborate with great directors, Liang Chaowei simply crushes him.

So this time when watching "Red Cliff" there was no hope of catching up with "Tongtian Empire", Liu Dehua's excitement was written all over his face.

Liang Chaowei went to get married, and many people in the entertainment industry went there. Liu Jialing invited Guan Ling, but Guan Ling did not go back and just sent congratulations.

Liu Dehua was still not invited.

Everything is not much different from the previous life. The relationship between the two has not improved because of their cooperation in "Bongtian Empire".

Han Sanpin had laughed enough before, and this time he was ready to cry. Although "Red Cliff" has repeatedly performed well at the box office, it will probably lose money in the mainland, but the distribution rights and other things have to be sold out, so it must not be considered a loss after all. .

But you can't make much.

This time, Han Dong's momentum of scolding Fang Qiu was completely wiped out.

At first, he thought Wu Baige was also China Film's new hope.I want to take advantage of the awesomeness of "Tongtian Empire" to have a big fight!
It turned out that there are so many directors like Guan Ling in the Mainland?This is the only director!
Many spectators were shouting——

"Although the two movies were not released at the same time, we can already announce that Guan Ling defeated Wu Baige!"

"Regarding Director Ling's presence, which actor cannot be taken away?"

"It is said that Lin Zhiling refused to star in Guan Ling's "Shark Beach" before, but now I don't know if she regrets it!"

Lin Zhiling was on the way to a roadshow when he saw this news and was so angry that his whole body went cold.

Guan Ling really invited her at that time, but she didn't want to take part because she thought the pay was low. Now that she thinks about it, Liu Yan has already been in "2012", and Fan Bingbing has also been very popular recently, and she feels regretful in her heart.

"If I had taken on "Shark Beach" at that time, would Liu Yan's role and Fan Bingbing's role have been mine?"

After some analysis, Lin Zhiling believed that his idea was reasonable.

Heart hurts.

Fan Bingbing and Zhu Yawen have been very popular recently and have received many new announcements. Everyone in the industry is jealous of them.

The contrast between the effect of the film's front and back release is the most obvious. I don't know if Wu Baige will regret choosing such a node to release it.

Since neither movie has any major blockbusters, there is no excuse now.

In the past two days, Jet Li has released a new movie in North America called "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", starring Michelle Yeoh.

This is a work by Universal Pictures. It tells the story of a cruel ancient Chinese emperor and his army who were cursed and turned into terracotta warriors and horses sleeping underground.

After 2000, explorer Rick O'Connor accidentally awakened the Dragon Emperor, and a thrilling "Battle between Ancient and Modern Times" began.

In Guan Ling's opinion, this is probably the foreign version of "Myth".

Originally, the movie was supposed to be released in mainland China in early August, but something changed again.

But in this case, there are not many competitors, and "Red Cliff" has no resistance, but there is still no hope of breaking the record of "Tongtian Empire".

The main reason is that it has a mixed reputation, with many saying it is good-looking, but many saying it is ugly.

Netizens are scolding Wu Baige for hiring so many celebrities, but they just don't know how to find a reliable screenwriter.

What are the lines?

There is a rumor that "Red Cliff" was originally planned to be written by Lu Wei, the screenwriter of "Farewell My Concubine". After chatting with Wu Baige, Lu Wei heard that Wu Baige wanted to convey the value of peace in this film. , and then the screenwriter of Farewell My Concubine said to Wu Baige: Farewell My Concubine, Ba is looking for me, and then they walked away from each other.

Lu Wei was very angry. In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, you want to tell me about peace?

I also need to rely on Lin Zhiling to convey the value of peace to me.

I don’t know how to spread peace?Anyway, we have to let Lin Zhiling's Xiao Qiao and Liang Chaowei's Zhou Yu do the sex scene.

Adding this huge wave of demands will make it difficult for screenwriters to write!
Many of the abstract lines in it were specially sent out by the audience and posted online.

There is a line about Zhuge Liang going to Jiangdong to lobby Sun Quan. Liu Bei affectionately handed Zhuge Liang a bowl of rice and said sincerely: The journey to Soochow is long and requires physical strength. Come on, eat more.

Can I go to Jiangdong by eating rice?
When Zhou Yu, played by Liang Chaowei, and Zhuge Liang, played by Takeshi Kaneshiro, met for the first time, Zhou Yu raised questions.

"Why are you still fanning on such a cold day?"

Zhuge Liang: "I need to stay calm at all times."

This is not the most explosive thing. When Zhou Yu and Liu Bei were chatting, they talked about why they wanted to return to their old business of weaving straw sandals. Zhao Yun said directly: The straw sandals we wore on the march were all knitted for us by our eldest brother.

Anyway, there are a lot of jokes, and there are also lines such as bathing the pigeons and Zhou Lang not playing the piano for a long time.

The most classic one is the scene played by Xiao Qiao.

It shocked everyone in the cinema.

A soldier ran over and shouted, "It's not good, it's not good, it's difficult to give birth."

Zhou Yu covered his face and ran away.Some netizens surfing the Internet thought that Xiao Qiao was going to have a difficult delivery.

In addition to the sex scene between the two stars in the movie "Xin Dao", is there also a sex scene in which Lin Zhiling has difficulty giving birth to a child?
As a result, it was Xiao Qiao who came closer holding Zhou Yu's horse.

Xiao Qiao was anxious: Luoyue, you have to hold on!

Xiao Qiao (Lin Zhiling-style baby voice): Keep your voice down, don’t scare it, if you scare it, it won’t be able to give birth.

One of the pony's legs was exposed and was stuck. Xiao Qiao pulled desperately.

Zhuge Liang: You can't pull it out with a deadlift... I'll do it!
Zhou Yu: Do you understand this?
Zhuge Liang smiled: I understand a little, I used to deliver babies for cows.

Then Liang Chaowei looked at Xiao Qiao affectionately: He was born in Jingchu, so he should have the name of Jingchu. Uh, shall we call him Mengmeng?

"Okay, Mengmeng, stand up, Mengmeng!"

The cooing Lin Zhiling shouted cooing and cute, which made the audience in the theater confused, and the feeling that something was wrong became stronger and stronger.

The reputation has finally collapsed. In fact, it should be said that it has become more polarized.

After experiencing the catastrophe, many viewers have become more tolerant of movies. Although the lines make people laugh, it can be regarded as entertainment to adjust their mentality.

But the audience is not stupid, and some people like this kind of entertainment that spoofs history.Some people think that it is an insult to people that this kind of costume drama enters theaters.

Even though "Tongtian Empire" is a fantasy masterpiece, the characters' traits are similar to those of historical figures.When you filmed the Three Kingdoms, you made everyone look like a retard.

"It's a bad movie. Before the war, Cao Cao's ultimate goal was to capture Xiao Qiao. This is an insult to history. Cao Cao was a good wife, but he was a tyrant after all!"

"There is no heroism, no historical qualities. Hong Kong movies cannot read history. I thought that what I saw would be an epic creation masterpiece, but I only saw various laugh scenes and various The love between children is long, and all kinds of insults to IQ!"

"It's so shocking! International directors are different. With a group of celebrities, people's acceptance of "Thunder" has been revised. Now the attitude of the Internet towards "Red Cliff" is not the same as scolding, but starting to laugh it off. This is Why? This is the full manifestation of social harmony, and this is the magical power of the Olympic flame."

"Xiao Qiao must have made some kind of deal with Wu Baige, otherwise why would a character whose appearance, actions and lines are extremely ridiculous be included in the cast?"

"Although it has been spoiled for a long time, when Aunt Zhiling said, 'Mengmeng, stand up, stand up,' she still ran away and was struck by lightning without haste. She looked around and saw fallen warriors. Taiwan's No. [-] vase has a coquettish accent. Once it comes out, who can compete with you?"

In everyone's opinion, it is indeed suitable for a character like Lin Zhiling to film "Shark Beach". After all, he doesn't need anything but beauty.

But playing Xiao Qiao really ruined the reputation of "Red Cliff".

Before Guan Ling returned to China, he saw many movie reviews on Douban, and one of them made Guan Ling laugh.

Really live in Bengbu.

"I can accept all the ridiculous plots, but I just want to know one question. How did Zhuge Liang know that Cao Bing definitely couldn't shoot rockets?"

Guan Ling himself was stunned.

This topic is indeed worthy of discussion.

But we definitely had to go back to China to discuss it. Time soon came to the beginning of August. The matter of "Twilight" was directly handed over to Guyot to deal with it first. Guan Ling gave him a list of directors, actors, etc. , we can talk about them all when the time comes, including directors and actors from previous lives.

In fact, Liu Yifei could have been chosen for the role in "Twilight", but there were too many kissing scenes, and Guan Ling really didn't want her to do it.

And it’s not bad for this character either.

Liu Yifei is suitable for the role of Chen Yanan in "Shoplifters", the younger sister of the heroine and the granddaughter of the old lady's ex-husband.

Let her play a foot-washing girl.

As for the foot-washing girl, who is a good brother and a good customer, Guan Ling can go into battle on her own.

Anyway, it was just a guest appearance, just in time for Xiao Liu to wash his feet or something.

…………

Liu Yifei still doesn't know that Guan Ling intends to take her to Cannes to win the Palme d'Or. She only knows that she has memorized the lines of "The Rescue" by heart.

Moreover, under the arrangement of Lingyun Media, I began to participate in some TV station announcements, and was a front-line supporter for "Menghualu".

"Hey, Director Guan, why did you remember to call me?"

I was participating in the announcement that day when I suddenly saw Guan Ling's phone call, and Liu Yifei was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

"I'm going back to China. Come pick me up later."

"Why do you think of me as your driver?" Liu Yifei pouted, "Are you thinking about my red Ferrari 458 Spider?"

"You don't lie around." Guan Ling said, "Aren't you driving your car and waiting to be photographed by the media? I asked you to pick me up because I have something to do. You have to go to Nortel with me."

"what happened?"

"As for the role in the new play, I have to ask my head teacher, Teacher Wang, and Director Tian Zhuangzhuang to advise me."

"Then why are you looking for me? I can't help you." Liu Yifei was quite confused.

"There is a role for you."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yifei was a little confused, "Don't I want to film "Hurricane Rescue"?"

"This is the next one."

"Have you finished filming?"

Liu Yifei said something subconsciously, and then thought of something, because she remembered that Guan Ling said that she would make a movie that could go to Cannes to win the Palme d'Or. Could it be this one? She suddenly became nervous. .She asked quickly,

"Is this play going to Cannes?"

"You finally have some brains in your little head." Guan Ling hummed.

"Am I worthy?"

Liu Yifei was really confused. She had been in China. Liu Yifei knew how many domestic actors had asked about this drama. Jiang Wenli, Sun Li, and Zhang Ziyi had all been to Lingyun Media.

But at that time, Lingyun Media said that Director Guan would come to China to audition by himself, so they put it on hold for the time being.

Liu Yifei never thought that she could play a role in it.

"It won't bring down the acting skills in the movie, right?"

When talking about the awards from the three major film festivals, Liu Yifei was inexplicably panicked.

"You are not a heroine," Guan Ling said, "so you don't have to panic. I will train you well when the time comes."

The corners of Liu Yifei's mouth twitched: "Although I feel less nervous, I don't know whether I should cry or laugh."

"The time and location have been sent to your mobile phone. Remember to pick me up."

……

8 month 3 day.

Guan Ling returned to China.

As Beijing was preparing for the Olympics, Guan Ling's return did not attract much attention from the media.

Liu Yifei was also waiting in the car early. After Guan Ling left the station, she got in the car and the two went straight to Nortel.

By this time the school was out for summer vacation.

So there are not many people.

After scanning their faces and entering the campus, the two first saw the banners hanging all over the school.

"Director Guan Da, do you feel happy when you see these banners?"

Liu Yifei has a bit of a taste for it. Who doesn’t want to be hung up with banners by his alma mater every day?

"Why don't you look back and I'll let you feel good too?"

Liu Yifei wanted to answer, but felt it was difficult to reply.Just said nothing.

Having already greeted Tian Zhuangzhuang and Wang Jinsong in advance, they went straight to the office.

Walking on the road, the two chatted while walking.

Yang Mi must have seen Guan Ling in the distance and ran over. When she got in front of Guan Ling, she tripped and bumped into Guan Ling's arms.

Guan Ling gave him a hand, but the opponent didn't fall down.

At first glance, I saw that the other person was wearing a white one-piece skirt and black high heels.

Guan Ling subconsciously thought of Yang Mi's classic Weibo emoticon - posting a photo of her from work when she was helping Che Era make a movie, just to show off.

"Sorry, sorry. Director Guan, sister Yifei. Why are you here at school?"

Guan Ling was still in a daze, but the other party had already spoken.
