China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 158: The new movie plan is announced, and the entertainment industry is paying attention!
When the box office of the movie "Nightclub" came out, the industry exploded!

For Guan Ling, this movie was almost like going to his grandma's house.

But it was a newcomer Yang Qing, and everyone was confused.

"Isn't this the next Ning Hao?"

Ning Hao's second commercial film with Lingyun Media directly entered the [-] million yuan club.

Although it sounds easy for Chen Kexin's "The Movie" and Wu Baige's "Red Cliff" to have a box office of over [-] million, but where are there so many great directors?

For example, the director of "Infernal Affairs" Liu Weiqiang and the director of "Baby Project" Chen Musheng are very famous, but their box office is only tens of millions.

As for Yang Qing's movie, the industry estimates that it will exceed 3000 million.

After all, the box office is too scary.

The box office on the second day increased as word of mouth increased, reaching 285 million.

271 million on the third day.

In fact, the movie "Nightclub", in addition to having Guan Ling as the producer, was only tied to "Tongtian Empire" during the promotion. Guan Ling was so busy that he had no time to promote it himself.

As a result, the box office has increased, more than the other films combined.Of course, it can't be compared to "Red Cliff".

Many netizens have expressed their opinions on Yang Qing's low-cost film.

"Isn't this a copy of Guy Ritchie? When I watched it, I thought it was a plagiarism of "Night at the Gas Station"? But I have to say, I was indeed amused, and there were so many damn laughs!"

"Silly movie! Mom, someone is pretending to be a fool to make me laugh!"

"While watching the movie "Night Club", I always had a dark face. It's not that the movie isn't funny, but I didn't dare to laugh because my wife was sitting next to me, opening her mouth as if she was stupid. The movie made me laugh so hard that if I laughed with her, it would make us look like we are on the same level!"

In fact, most people in the industry know the level of investment in movies produced by various production and distribution companies.

The investment in the movie "Nightclub" was only a few million, which was huge.

Just looking at the box office now, this movie can make back its money within a few days, and the rest is pure profit.

Bona's Yu Dong was extremely anxious when he saw Guan Ling making money. He had found out that Guan Ling was going to hold a celebration party soon, and he had been waiting to have a good chat with Director Guan then.

The glamorous Wang Changtian was even more confused.

"Guan Ling is so perverted. How can a director who has never made a movie be so awesome under his hands?"

This result made Lu Yang jealous even within Lingyun Media.

"Obviously I came first."

Lu Yang was extremely anxious and rushed to prepare for the casting of "Xiu Chun Dao". After Guan Ling heard about it, he said that he happened to be involved in the casting.

Zhang Zhen has indeed been selected, but the specific actors have not yet been decided.

The opening of the Olympic Games has focused the world's attention on the capital.

All the eyes of the entertainment industry are focused on Lingyun Media.

Because at this stage of Guan Ling's return, Lingyun Media announced a series of film projects that it will direct in the future, and issued a series of casting notices.

"Spring Knife", "Painted Skin", "Ip Man", "Shoplifters", "Taken", "Inception", "Insidious", "The Twilight Saga" and so on.At the same time, it was also stated that several movies would be shot and invested in South Korea, but the specific list was not disclosed.

The release schedule of movies participated by Lingyun Media was also announced.Ning Hao's "The Golden Heist" is currently undergoing intense post-processing. It's actually almost finished, but it's just to avoid the release date of "Kung Fu Panda", which is currently being scheduled. "Let the Bullets Fly" has been scheduled for the National Day, and the promotion plan has been prepared. Now let's see what level of awards it can win after its premiere in Venice.

It’s better to release it quickly when bragging.

As soon as the news came out, almost all the attention of the entertainment industry turned to Lingyun Media.

Everyone is asking, among these newly announced movies to be shot, which ones will Director Guan want to direct?
This kind of movie is definitely going to be a hit.

But even if Director Guan's film doesn't make the cut, Lingyun Media's other films can still be considered. After all, as we can see from "Nightclub", Lingyun Media only produces high-quality films.

As soon as this list was announced, even China Film Group couldn't sit still.

"Director Guan, when are you going to talk about the investment issues in your next projects?"

Han Sanpin called. He knew he couldn't participate in Korean movies before, but for domestic movies, Han Sanpin couldn't be in a hurry.

Guan Ling is so amazing, no matter what director or script, I feel that in his hands, he can only turn decay into magic.

"Director Han, we don't need to talk on the phone. I'm busy with the casting first. We can talk later at the celebration banquet?"

"Okay, let's talk about it at the celebration banquet. China Film still hopes to have a higher proportion. Director Guan, even if you change the negotiation method, we will be able to accept it." Han Sanpin swallowed his heart in his stomach. Inside, Han Sanpin would be very happy as long as he was allowed to invest in China Film.

"Let's talk about it then." Guan Ling understood what Han Sanpin meant.

In fact, now Guan Ling can definitely command a premium for China Film.

After "2012" and "Tongtian Empire", Guan Ling paid a premium to let China Film Group participate, and China Film Group also had to deal with it.

Guan Ling never mentioned it, but he didn't expect Han Sanpin to bring it up himself.It can be seen that even if it is to make money, China Film Group is a little embarrassed.

Han Sanpin said again,
"I saw the script of "Shoplifters" and told the radio and television side that there is no problem in the review. Don't worry. The scenes in this movie will also appear in the urban village. Real radio and television people don't There will be more speculation.”

"Then thank you, Director Han."

Guan Ling knew that "Shoplifters" had been edited out when it was released in China in its previous life. As one of the few Palme d'Or-winning films introduced and released in China, "Shoplifters" withstood a lot of pressure when it was released in China. , it was released in theaters after many cuts.

At that time, this movie was released at the same time as "A Good Show", although it did not beat Huang Bo at the box office.

But it also exceeded [-] million.

This shows how ruthless this literary film is.

Therefore, Guan Ling does not think that Han Sanpin said these words intentionally, because there are indeed some things in the movie that are not suitable for filming and exporting abroad, such as Liu Yifei's character, the foot-washing girl.

In the original island movie, this character is a custom shop, something hidden in the background of the island.

Most of the services are soft jobs like needlework.

Guan Ling would not dare to copy this to the country. It would be cruel enough to become a foot-washing girl, but it would not affect the overall situation.

Han Sanpin could tell this matter on the phone, Guan Ling knew that the other party must have done something.

……

The TV series "Menghualu" has finally confirmed its broadcast platform.

After multiple rounds of negotiations with TV platforms such as CCTV, Mango TV and Magic City TV, the broadcasting rights were jointly won by Mango TV and Magic City TV.

This broadcast right does not include online copyright, but covers the first broadcast and the subsequent second and third rounds of broadcast rights.

As for how to divide the two TV platforms, it is no longer within the scope of Noon Sunshine’s consideration.

Lingyun Media's asking price is very high, and it is difficult for a TV station to afford it.

In the end, "Menghua Lu" was sold for 160 million yuan per episode.

As for the cost, Lingyun Media only spent about 3000 million, and made a profit of 3000 million every time it came in and out.

In fact, if it weren't for the TV series to be flattering, Guan Ling wouldn't like to worry about it. The reason why he wanted to bring Shanying and Tangren to his partners was also for the sake of his actors."Menghua Lu" is a TV series that consolidates Liu Yifei and Zhu Yawen's fans and increases their exposure, so Guan Ling was a little bit interested in it.

If the TV series is to be filmed later, Guan Ling will just ask the TV series producer to go over.

For Kang Honglei, Guan Ling directly gave him the scripts for three TV series, and let this guy create the rest by himself.

Because there are three dramas at once, Kang Honglei has been busy in casting and background production recently, and there has been little movement recently.

The filming location has been chosen, and it is all a military drama. In fact, the actors probably don’t need to be changed, and it will be good if it is shot step by step.

"Guan Ling, then I will continue to promote "Meng Hua Lu" first. Anyway, it's only for the past few days. After you finish casting, we will fly to the United States together." Liu Yifei called.

Mango TV and Magic City TV both invited her to participate in the program, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the TV series.

Zhu Yawen must also be one of the invited people.

Now Zhu Yawen has completely become a popular star.

Since the broadcast of TV series and movies such as "Enter Guandong", "Tongtian Empire", and "Nightclub", coupled with the popularity of Zhu Yawen's previous guest appearances, Zhu Yawen's popularity has directly killed those predecessors. The media began to compare him, Du Chun, Huo Yan Yan and Zhang Junning are collectively known as the four major students.

So Zhu Yawen was really in pain and happy.

……

There was a call from Shanying, and it was also for a movie role.

But the way he spoke made Guan Ling very kind.

"Director Guan, we Shanying have recently decided on several TV series to be shot in the future. I will send you the names later, and we will decide on a certain investment method. Of course, if you have recommended actors, they must be here. It’s all considered.”

Jin Liang called.

Then he sent several names through text messages, and Guan Ling took a look at them, "Yimeng", "There's a Beauty in the North", "The Line of Life and Death", "Love in the Great Northern Wilderness", "Saving Love", "Female Workers" and "Contemporaries".

Not to mention, Guan Ling has actually watched these TV series.

"Director Jin, we will have an interview when you come to the capital." Guan Ling naturally knew what the other party meant, "I can give Shanying a share of the next few movies I will make."

"Hey, thank you so much, Director Guan. You, too, always think about our Director Lu." Jin Liang was very happy to hear Guan Ling's promise.

"Then I will report to Director Lu right now. Later, Director Lu and I will go on a business trip to the capital?"

"Then I'll welcome you."

……

Mu Tingting watched the explosion of "Nightclub" and suddenly understood what it felt like to become a star all of a sudden.

In recent entertainment news, Guan Ling is still the absolute protagonist.

Zhang Yimou's title of National Master was firmly placed on his head, but he only officially accepted the interview after the opening ceremony, and then went to rest.

Been busy for more than half a year.

Director Zhang almost died from exhaustion.

And her name also appeared on the search list for the first time along with "Nightclub".

"Who played the salesgirl in "Nightclub"? She was so soft and weak, it seemed like she was pinching her."

"Mu Tingting, this name is so special. This is the first time I have seen the word Mu. Apart from Mu Guiying."

Seeing some movie fans starting to like him, Mu Tingting felt very complicated.

She knew that Guan Ling helped her get the role in these movies.

But she felt a little embarrassed.

Because after her relationship with Guan Ling, Guan Ling was a little too busy and completely ignored her.

"But how could a boy of Guan Ling's age be able to bear it?"

Mu Tingting held the mobile phone and thought about Guan Ling, but the call was not dialed in the end.

Just sent a text message to Guan Ling.

……

At Lingyun Media, Guan Ling saw Hong Kong film directors Chan Ka-shang and Wilson Yip.

Both of them are relatively well-known directors in Hong Kong, and both have been nominated for Best Director at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

It's just that Chen Jia's position is higher.

When the two knew that Guan Ling was planning to make a movie with them, they came right away.

For Hong Kong directors, entering the mainland has always been their hope.

The opportunities that Guan Ling can bring to them are much greater than those of themselves.

Moreover, Hong Kong directors generally have good reviews of Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, I am willing to accept the production of the "Painted Skin" movie." After reading the script, Chen Jiashang decisively agreed to Guan Ling's request.

The two of them chatted separately.

Chen Jiashang was very pleased with the script of "Painted Skin" and had no hesitation.

"I want Zhou Xun to play one of the female leads." Guan Ling looked at Chen Jiashang and designated a role.

"Okay." Chen Jia said, "Her acting skills are very good. It seems that the recent termination of Zhou Xun's contract is indeed Director Guan's masterpiece."

What Wilson Yip got was the script of "Ip Man". This script made him very excited. After all, it happened to be his style.

"Slaying the Wolf", "Dragon Tiger Gate", "The Fuse", these movies made him particularly familiar with shooting action scenes.

"Director Guan, you are really good at selecting people. It's hard for me to refuse you this script." The smile on Ye Weixin's face could not be concealed at all.

"I can give Director Ye the choice of the role in this play, but they need to audition in front of me. Do you think it's acceptable?"

"Of course it should be." Ye Weixin said, "Director Guan, can you take me into the [-] million yuan club?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

After various movie plans are announced.

Lingyun Media’s phone calls were off the hook.

Guan Ling was very smart and refused all calls. He just asked Lingyun Media to announce the audition time on the official website.

The first auditions were for "Butterfly Lovers", "Painted Skin", "Ip Man" and "Shoplifters".

Lingyun Media suddenly became the focus of the entire entertainment industry.

It's like Lingyun Media is going to hold the entertainment industry Olympics!
