China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 159 Everyone is here to lick Guan Dao!

"Lingyun Media has announced more than ten movie plans, four of which will start casting in the middle of this month."

"The box office of "Nightclub" exceeded 2000 million in [-] days, Yang Qing became famous, and Guan Ling produced another miracle with a small-budget film. Lingyun Media has another commercial film director with great potential after Ning Hao."

"It is reported that among the four films, "Painted Skin" and "Ip Man" will be shot by Hong Kong directors, and "Embroidered Spring Knife" is scripted by Guan Ling and directed by Lingyun Media contracted director Lu Yang. Can Guan Ling regain his reputation as a gold medal producer?! "

"'Kung Fu Panda' is about to be introduced to the mainland. According to DreamWorks' announcement, it can be seen that Guan Ling will participate in the final editing of the film."

"Guan Ling's new film "Shoplifters" is suspicious. Does Director Guan want to film the dissolute life of a pickpocket?"

"Chen Guofu is heavily used by Guan Ling, and Chen Guofu is the co-producer of many movies."

"There is no action for the "Detective Dee" series of movies yet. According to our reporter's inquiry, Guan Guanyan said that he will no longer direct the Detective Dee series, but will choose a more suitable director. Preparations are probably still going on early next year."

"Guan Ling has begun to select roles for his new play. I wonder if Lingyun Media has previously announced that the conditions for not cooperating with Huayi artists will continue? For the specific content, our reporters will continue to track it!"

"Guan Ling claimed that he would train more than ten directors to join the [-] million yuan club. He also sent out invitations to the industry. People in various industries who are interested in directing positions can submit their resumes to Lingyun Media."

"The film "Let the Bullets Fly", invested by Lingyun Media, written by Guan Ling, and directed by Jiang Wen, has been selected for the main competition in Venice. It has already flown to Italy. Can Guan Ling + Jiang Wen win awards in Venice? Let's wait and see?!"

……

The news from various media was dazzling, and it was quickly published in newspapers and periodicals by various media in the capital.

Immediately afterwards, major portal websites on the Internet also quickly reprinted it.

This is the first time that Guan Ling Lingyun Media has announced a film plan. Previously, Guan Ling had only mentioned the film plan at the press conference, but had never issued a film plan in such a formal way.

So it attracted the attention of all the industries in an instant.

Even the audience began to look forward to it.

All kinds of news are in a mess, including those who are shouting for Guan Ling, others who are starting to stir up troubles and compete for traffic due to the previous conflicts between Lingyun Media and Huayi, as well as specific information about Lingyun Media's movies.

But not a single message.

It is more attractive than casting and creating a ten-person billionaire club director.

For the entire industry, this is nothing short of a big stimulus.

"Director Guan is so awesome. This sentence can directly blow up the industry by training more than ten directors to enter the billion-dollar club."

"Don't you all have feelings about the movie "Kung Fu Panda"? Damn it, can Guan Ling edit and direct DreamWorks' Hollywood animated films? Director Guan's involvement is too broad, right?"

"The reporter is very good at focusing on the key points. Asking Director Guan whether he will never cooperate with Huayi artists, hasn't Zhou Xun already terminated his contract? Is there any need to ask this question?"

"I think asking Zhou Xun to terminate the contract first and then announcing the movie plan is purely an eyesore for Huayi. Your leading female star can terminate the contract with you for my role, so what are you going to fight with me?"

"Director Guan seems to have seen the online evaluation of him, 'Half-Step National Master'. It seems that he is unwilling, so he wants to train many Chinese film directors to give himself another title, 'Godfather' How about a title?"

"Laughing to death, who is Guan Ling? He can still be a godfather? Do you really think that just because he wrote a script for Jiang Wen, his status will be higher than Jiang Wen's? I advise you Guan Ling fans not to jump like that. Why don't you just take it? Didn’t he win a Golden Horse Award for Best Director? Didn’t he just win a Screenplay Award at the Oscars? It wasn’t Best Director or Best Picture. When will he win the Palme d’Or that he brags about? What kind of ‘godfather’ can he be? Late."

Everyone knows something about Jiang Wen. He is a guy who dares to stand up to Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. He was directly ignored by Lucuan in "Looking for a Gun" and he was even bullied into tears.

Now I have written a script for him and collaborated for a while, and people on the Internet are saying that Guan Ling is some kind of godfather.

Those fans of Jiang Wen before were definitely not happy.

The popularity on the Internet was instantly high, and many people were looking for ways and opportunities.

……

Yan Danchen is one of them. When she saw that many of Guan Ling's new movies were recruiting roles, she became interested.

Last year, it was because of a photo of her and Guo Xiaodong, which was taken at a reunion of Beijing Film Academy’s 96 acting department classmates. In the photo, Guo Xiaodong’s hand passed through her lower back, and four fingers passed between her waist and arm. Pass through.

Many people are saying that Guo Xiaodong is a "shy pig".

The Internet is intensifying, but no one can explain the photo, because it may just be a momentary mistake during the shooting process.

At this time, Yan Danchen was actually at the peak of his career.

It's just that the quality is a bit unsatisfactory.

Yan Danchen knew these very well.

Since 2001, she has played the role of Concubine Yang in "The Love of the Tang Dynasty". She was so beautiful in it that she became famous.

After that, the costume scripts came one after another. Chen Yuanyuan in "The Ups and Downs" makes people feel that Wu Sangui has been whitewashed.Many people are secretly thinking in their hearts, if they want me, I will get angry and become a traitor.

But Yan Danchen actually knows very well that most of his roles are vases.

Even though Sister Chang'e in "Lotus Lantern" made her look so beautiful that she was in the limelight, in the final analysis, she was still just a vase to trap Zhu Bajie.

Several subsequent TV series were very popular on CCTV, setting off a viewing frenzy for CCTV.He was even named a summer star.

But this photo incident made Yan Danchen realize that he was only liked by fans because he was a vase.

Thinking of this, she regretted not taking the role in Guan Ling's first movie "The Uninvited Guest". Although she was a flower vase in that role, at least she could have a deeper connection with Guan Ling.

And now, although the two people are actually schoolmates, there is really no connection between them.

This year, she has taken on a few movies, but whether she is a director or an actress, she really has no splash at all.

So when she saw that Lingyun Media's movies needed female characters of her age, she was really moved.

"Xiao Ming, do you have much contact with Director Guan?"

After calling Huang Xiaoming and learning about Huang Xiaoming's current situation, Yan Danchen was speechless.He just rejected a role, but Huang Xiaoming was really miserable. After filming, he joined Huayi, and then watched helplessly as Director Guan's role was not offered to Huayi.

This guy is much more miserable than me.

"Chenchen, my advice to you is that you must go to the audition. I have worked with Director Guan before, and he has a very thorough understanding of the role, so as long as your style suits the role, I believe it is just a matter of rejection before. Director Guan won't take it to heart if something like this happens once. From now on, we just need to cooperate with Director Guan."

"Really?"

"Just give it a try. It won't hurt if you can't choose."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Danchen called Mr. Nortel, then thought about it and submitted his resume to Lingyun Media.

"Painted Skin", this movie sounds a bit scary.But for Lingyun Media's movies, Yan Danchen only has expectations in her heart.

……

"No way, Director Guan. I have to make so many movies, but there is no role suitable for me in them?"

Fan Bingbing called Guan Ling and she felt she had been cheated.

Guan Ling clearly said before that there was no suitable role for her, so she chose a movie produced by Zhang Ziyi.

But now, seeing so many movies announced, Fan Bingbing is a little bit overwhelmed.

"There is indeed no role suitable for you. You are too charming."

Guan Ling thought about it and found that Pei Rong in the painting was indeed not suitable for Fan Bingbing, and Fan Bingbing was not very suitable for the wife in "Ip Man", so Guan Ling still had to choose someone else.

"Just pretend you didn't lie to me." Fan Bingbing felt aggrieved, "If you have a role like mine, you must contact me, otherwise I wouldn't have slept in vain."

"As you said, am I, Guan Ling, sleeping in vain? Didn't Shangguan Jing'er pay the bill?"

"Yes. You are shameless." Fan Bingbing gritted his teeth and revealed the news, "Let me tell you something, Sister Zhang has already bought a ticket to the capital."

"What are you here for?" "It's an audition." Fan Bingbing said, "Your "Shoplifters" is rumored in the industry to be a candidate for the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Sister Zhang is determined to win."

"I've already decided on the role."

Guan Ling was puzzled, how could Zhang Ziyi still be determined to win my movie role?

"Ah? Who is it?" Fan Bingbing was surprised.

"Zhou Xun."

"It's her. No wonder she terminated the contract." Fan Bingbing was stunned for a moment. She had been with Huayi for a long time, but she and Zhou Xun were almost separated, so the relationship between the two was not bad.

"Anyway, I don't care. Sister Zhang will definitely come to you to ask about the role." Fan Bingbing said, "You can handle it yourself when the time comes."

Guan Ling smiled, Zhang Ziyi was really inflated.

Although Zhang Ziyi is indeed a frequent visitor to Cannes, and may be a bonus for the Palme d'Or by then, her face is completely unmatched in "Shoplifters."

Guan Ling would never risk using Zhang Ziyi.

And, why?
Guan Ling is very confident in "Shoplifters". She can obviously win a movie queen, so why should she be related to Zhang Ziyi? Instead, let her think that the film won the award because of her contribution, and she can't pry her tail into the sky?
If you want to get the role, what if you want to eat shit?
……

Audition invitations have been sent out by Guan Ling and others.

The industry knows that it is difficult to get into Guan Ling's movies, but there are still many people who want to get in, so many friendly guest roles in "Shoplifters" have also received a lot of submissions.

Now Guan Ling is the ceiling for mainland directors.Regardless of whether his movie wins awards or not, it will be a huge bonus to the actor himself.

And, what if you really can win Cannes?

There is light on your face!
If we get along well with Director Guan and have a friendly relationship, will Hollywood be able to climb up the ladder too?

This idea is what many people in the industry have in mind.

This is the case with Yang Mi.

But Yang Mi is very smart, she submitted the role in "Xiu Chun Knife".

After her role in "Dream of Red Mansions" was frustrated, Yang Mi knew that in this circle, she must have her own talents, and she didn't know any big shots. The company said they valued her hair, but in fact they couldn't help much.

And relying on the incense relationship between Nortel and Guan Ling.

Yang Mi previously won the role of waiter in "Menghua Lu", which is a good start.

Now, since Yang Mi had made up her mind, she started to take action.

On QQ, Yang Mi has sent many messages to Director Guan thanking him for choosing her to enter "Menghualu", and also said that she would treat Director Guan to delicious food.

But Director Guan never replied to her.

On this day, when Yang Mi sent another QQ message persistently, she received a reply.

"Brother, you are really amazing. The company will announce so many movies at once. I am different. Every day when I wake up, I ask myself:
Where is my character? "

"So I am really grateful to my senior brother for giving me the opportunity to participate in "Meng Hua Lu". Although it was a small role, this opportunity was also given to me by my senior brother. I will definitely repay my senior brother if I have the opportunity. Brother’s.”

Many of the above messages were not answered.

But this time, Guan Ling replied.

"I haven't watched QQ before. If you want a role, please contact Lu Yang. There is a character named Zhou Miaotong in "Xiu Chun Dao". There are no suitable artists in our company, so go and fight for it yourself."

He watched Guan Ling send Lu Yang's contact information.

Yang Mi felt like she was completely surprised.

I didn't know what to say for a while.

Guan Ling actually didn't want to go back, but when he saw the words "Where's my character?", he thought of something.

"As for the role, it must be up to you. As for repayment or not, how can you, a little girl, repay me? Besides, am I, Guan Ling, the one who takes advantage of me to repay me?"

Yang Mi felt warm in her heart.

News from the other party came over again.

"What kind of reward are you talking about? If you want to eat, which restaurant are you going to choose? There should be less people."

Yang Mi: "..."

The senior brother is so humorous, but when Yang Mi saw the role, she was a little excited, her mind was a little mushy, and when Guan Ling said the word "little girl", she was also a little unhappy.

"The reward is to eat. I will choose the restaurant. But senior brother, why do you call me a little girl? I am not little at all, okay? I am older than Senior Sister Yifei."

Guan Ling didn't know if the other person was talking about age or something else.

After thinking about it, Yang Mi seems to be really bigger than Liu Yifei.

……

Lingyun Media's role audition scene.

Guan Ling saw an endless stream of movie stars coming over.These people looked at Guan Ling, and most of them nodded, saying that Guan Ling was a good director.

Male stars include Chen Kun, Nie Yuan, Lu Yi, Du Chun, Ren Quan, Xia Yu, Zhang Fengyi, Hu Jun, Wang Qianyuan, Wu Jing and many others, as well as people from Hong Kong, Simon Yam, Fan Shaohuang, Zhen Zi Shan and Brother Hu also came. Guan Ling said hello to him and told Brother Hu that there was no role that was suitable for him.

"That's such a pity." Brother Hu was also a little regretful, "I just came to try my luck, so I didn't call Director Guan in advance either myself or through Mr. Cai. Since you said so, then I'll do it first I’m back. I hope Director Guan’s audition goes well today.”

There are more female stars, including Liu Tao, Chen Hong, He Qing, Ning Jing, Huang Yi, Jiang Qinqin, Sun Li and Chen Hao.There is also Jiang Wenli. Guan Ling knows that she is here for "Shoplifters", but this role has already been confirmed, and it is difficult for anyone to take it.

The entire audition site is divided into three rooms.

Guan Ling was like the dean of students, walking around the three rooms.

These three rooms belong to "Xiuchundao", "Ip Man" and "Painted Skin" respectively.

As for the audition for Shoplifters, the process will be completed at the end.

At the audition scene of "Painted Skin", Chen Jiashang sat in the middle as the director, auditioning for the role of Pang Yong.

In fact, Chen Jiashang was very optimistic about this role, but Donnie Yen wanted to play the protagonist of "Ip Man" more. There was a time conflict, so he had to choose among other roles.

Chen Kun is Wang Sheng's perfect choice.

This is very confirmed.

Xia Yu was very confident when choosing the role of Pang Yong, but Guan Ling pointed his hand at Wu Jing aside.

"Wu Jing, right? I know you. I heard you work very hard in acting."

"Come and try this role."

Guan Ling looked at Wu Jing, and his eyes actually went straight.

I almost forgot about this guy. Wu Jing is a treasure. Not only is he a great actor, he is also a new generation director.

This year's action movie "Wolf Fang", which he directed and starred in, has been completed. If this guy is trained, he will definitely be a killer in action movies.
