China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 165: Tian Zhuangzhuang’s phone call, why did you give it to the Chinese actor? !

It's been a few days of filming on "Taken" so far.

Cheng Long was not used to it at first.
A few days ago, while filming the scene of his phone call with Liu Yifei, Cheng Long felt that this drama was different from those he had acted before.

At least it made him a little awkward while filming.

In the past, most of Cheng Long's fighting scenes involved him hitting certain objects and then screaming in pain.

Audiences like to see Cheng Long being embarrassed, and Cheng Long is also very suitable for filming scenes of being embarrassed.

And this drama requires Cheng Long to be cold, calm, and distressed for his daughter. His eyes must be firm and distressed.

This made Cheng Long quite uncomfortable in the past few days.

Although I have been familiar with the script for a long time, there are still some problems when filming.

For example, a clip from a few days ago had been filmed, but Cheng Long failed several times.

At that time, under Guan Ling's arrangement, he took out his toolbox to perform recording and other operations, and directed his daughter, played by Liu Yifei, to hide under the bed.

His lines were interrupted by Guan Ling, who asked him to act cold and ruthless.

"You will definitely be captured by them, Ken. Concentrate. When they capture you, you will have five or ten seconds to see their features. You must shout out to me. Concentrate." Strength, hair color, height, eyes, scars, everything you see, you have to tell me, do you hear me?"

At that time, Liu Yifei shouted out the characteristics of the kidnappers with a broken but slightly rational roar, "Dad, on them, they have big beards, six feet tall, and tattoos on their right hands, the moon and stars."

The phone was then picked up by the kidnappers.

Cheng Long said those lines to the other party, "I don't know who you are, I don't know what you want, if you want a ransom, I tell you that I don't have money, but what I do have is professional skills and experience accumulated through my life's work." Come, this allows me to become a nightmare for all of you. Now let my daughter go and I will forget the blame. I will not go to you or hunt you down, but if you don’t let him go, I will go to you. , I will also find you, and I will also kill you."

The other party crushed the phone and said, "Good luck."

But now, when Cheng Long saw the pictures on the monitor, he suddenly felt very happy!
He suddenly understood why Guan Ling asked him to act like that!

When you look at the plot of that part and what's happening on the monitor, it's so exciting that it makes your hair stand on end!
Generally speaking, even if it is a cool movie, the actors and the audience have different opinions, because what the audience sees is the entire plot, a coherent story, and the actors need to shoot shot by shot, so when filming There won’t be too many disturbances in my heart when filming. This is why I familiarize myself with the emotions in advance when filming.

But now, those few minutes in front of the camera make Cheng Long very enjoyable.

I will definitely come to you, and I will kill you.

Then, he came!
Those clips that haven't been edited into the final film are so fast-paced that it makes you breathless, and the moves are deadly!One against ten, a killing spree!
Hearty!

What will it look like after editing? !

"Director Guan, thank you. After this drama is released, my acting career will definitely be broadened."

Cheng Long thanked Guan Ling because he realized that this drama might be his real transformation, and it would open up a new acting path for him in action movies, his professional field.

This will definitely be beneficial to his development in Hollywood.

In the eyes of others, Cheng Long has his own place in Hollywood, and this drama means that he has abandoned his previous style.

But that's not the case. He is only in his 50s this year, and this new type of action movie is easier than the previous type because there are fewer movements and naturally less consumption.

So Cheng Long is really grateful to Guan Ling.

"Brother Cheng Long, what you said is obvious. I'm looking for you just to make the series of movies famous. If you are really grateful, let's not raise the price of the next movie." Guan Ling said with a smile.

"Pretend I didn't say it." Cheng Long was a little numb.

Guan Ling is always trying to cut costs from him.In fact, this drama is already considered a friendship price.

The two chatted for a few words and continued filming the next episode.

Cheng Long discovered his daughter's clothes and then broke into the tiger's den. Since he had to shoot a group scene, Guan Ling naturally wanted to shoot it in one go.

All the twenty kidnappers were killed, and only one was captured by Cheng Long.

Cheng Long tied him to a chair in the basement. The surrounding light was specially dimmed by the people behind the scenes. In the lens, half of Cheng Long's face was hidden in darkness, while the other half reflected a faint light.

Bang bang two punches.

Then two huge iron nails were connected to the power supply, and the jingles clashed and made a buzzing sound.

Then he was nailed directly to the kidnapper's thigh.

"Hey, wake up and answer my question."

The power was turned on by Cheng Long, and the light bulb turned on, flickering on and off. The kidnapper howled and roared like a killing pig amid the sizzling sound of electricity.

open.

turn off.

open.

turn off.

The kidnapper's face had veins popping out.

After several cycles, Cheng Long tortured and extorted confessions, trying to get the information he wanted.

"Where is my daughter?"

"Your daughter is a virgin, so she is the best. The best can be sold for a lot of money."

"Who did you sell it to?"

"I do not know."

Cheng Long's eyes were cold. Just as he was about to turn on the switch, the tough-talking kidnapper finally named the buyer.

"How to find him?"

"I really don't know."

Cheng Long continued to torture, only to find that no useful information could be gleaned from the kidnapper's mouth.

The other party was even crying and begging for mercy.

"Okay, I believe you." Cheng Long picked up the clothes on the side and said, "But I can't let you go."

He turned around and left, leaving only the open switch that continued to pass current through his body.

As Cheng Long became more and more familiar with the plot, he rarely made mistakes during the filming process. These cruelest methods were just routine methods for a father who wanted to save his daughter.

No matter how cruel and inhumane it is, no matter how chilling it is.

It is also reasonable.

Evil man, since God can't take it away, then I will take it away!
For the first time, Cheng Long felt that action movies could be so thrilling!
Awesome!
So cool.

"Okay, that's it for today's filming. The crew's lunch has been delivered. Let's have something to eat and drink first, and then start working again in the afternoon."

Guan Ling asked everyone to take a rest. The filming progressed quickly and it was soon afternoon.

"Thank you Director!"

Black and white, they all thanked Guan Ling.

What he ate was hamburgers and he drank Feizhai Happy Water. While eating, Guan Ling turned on his phone and saw Han Sanpin's phone number.

There are also many calls from domestic directors.

I looked at the Internet community platform and the domestic network platform again. At this time, the Golden Lion Award incident completely broke out in the Chinese media.

"Golden Lion Award! Describe in detail the past and present life of director Jiang Wen and the Venice Film Festival."

"The film "Let the Bullets Fly" directed by Jiang Wen, which was originally scheduled to be released during the National Day in the Mainland, won the Venice Golden Lion Award. The film was written by Guan Ling and invested by Lingyun Media."

"The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" invested and produced by our company won the Venice Golden Lion. Congratulations to Director Jiang Wen."

Netizens came together early in the morning and were stunned when they saw the news.Major film and television producers were also directly dazzled by this news.

For a time, all other news in the entertainment industry became the background.

Jiang Wen's name is directly at the top of Baidu's hot search list.

Netizens also expressed their feelings directly.

"Are the works written by Guan Ling really so good? Director Jiang Wen has been nominated before, but this time he changed the screenwriter and won?"

"Ning Hao got Guan Ling's script and entered the [-] million yuan club. Jiang Wen got Guan Ling's script and won the Venice Golden Lion Award. The Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay has really turned his script into gold. Ability?"

A lot of people are blowing.

However, some netizens did not follow the mold and focused all their attention on the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".

"The box office of "The Good Man" the year before last was 10 yuan. Last year's "Lust, Caution" had a box office of over [-] million yuan. Jiang Wen + Guan Ling, the box office of this Golden Lion Award was amazing! I feel like my wallet has to go out again during the National Day. ”

"I'm really looking forward to Jiang Wen's new movie. It doesn't matter whether it's a golden thing or not. I have reason to suspect that there must be car lights or butts in "Let the Bullets Fly". This is a standard feature in the movies directed by Jiang Wen."

"Good guy."

Guan Ling was happy when he saw this comment.

This is someone who understands Jiang culture.

In Jiang Wen's movies, the car lights are always bright, and the buttocks are always outlined with perfect curves.

At first glance, this guy is a loyal fan of Jiang Wen.I don’t care about honor anymore, I only care about whether there are headlights.

The funniest thing is the Chinese Opera. The leaders of the Chinese Theater didn’t know if they saw the award ceremony at night, so they came out early in the morning to enjoy the excitement. When the students who had just started school walked into the Chinese Theater, they first saw the banners hanging all over the school. .

“Jiang Wen, the well-known director of our school, won the Venice Golden Lion.”

The students of the Chinese Theater Company can no longer stand it. Nortel has been doing this for two or three years. When Nortel was working on it, the Chinese Theater Company was gnashing its teeth every time. This time, they are not following the same example.

The key point is that this is a screenplay by director Guan Ling, and you didn’t mention it at all!

This is the news sent by the students themselves who can't stand it. There are pictures and the truth.At first glance, this red banner was embroidered overnight.

Early in the morning, CCTV's morning news column had already begun to make a special report on the live video materials, and also put the video of Jiang Wen's acceptance speech on the screen of the Six Princesses.

The entertainment industry is in turmoil because of this movie.

Suddenly, a comment from a netizen went viral on the Internet.

""Let the Bullets Fly" won the Venice Golden Lion, and Jiang Wen finally won the three highest honors in Europe. But what scares me is whether Guan Ling, the screenwriter of the film, knew that this film had won the Venice Golden Lion. Prize potential?

It is giving with confidence.

Or is it a pattern of not caring?

Guan Ling, how much script ammunition is there?What kind of honor and box office can it achieve?
Next, let’s take a look at Guan Ling’s bold words at the Cannes Film Festival and whether he will realize his new dream of winning the Palme d’Or in Chinese-language films through “Shoplifters.” "

Brother Chen Kai, who was working overtime on the editing of "Mei Lanfang", watched a movie early in the morning and saw the news that Jiang Wen won the Golden Lion Award.

I feel a little unhappy inside.

After all, Jiang Wen is still young. After winning such a grand prize, his status will have to move up in the future, and he may be inseparable from him again.

But Brother Chen Kai only feels this way a little bit, and the pattern is still there. After all, it is a Chinese-language film award. Brother Chen Kai does congratulate Jiang Wen.

But after seeing this comment about Guan Ling.

Brother Chen Kai suddenly became a little nervous.

"Can't you?"

After a moment, he smiled again,

"What am I thinking? Is the Palme d'Or so easy to get?"

It's not that surprising that Jiang Wen won this Golden Lion Award. After all, it has been shortlisted twice, and there are too many Chinese films that have won the Golden Lion Award. As for the Palme d'Or, there has only been one "Farewell My Concubine".

Never mind if it’s a double yolk egg.

Just tell me whether you took it or not.

Even though he had a tough mouth, he still had a smile on his face.

But Brother Chen Kai always felt his heart pounding.

There was always a little person in his head fighting with his thoughts.

"Is the Palme d'Or so easy to get?" said a little man.

"But that kid is Guan Ling who gave away the Golden Lion Award-winning script to others." Another villain was also yelling, "What a fucking freak!"

Brother Chen Kai shook his head, trying to drive away the thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became.

I don’t want to edit anymore.

"It's so annoying!" Brother Chen Kai was getting ready to have a day of fun, but he was very upset.

Jiang Wen took a golden lion and tried to fix it for him.

……

Tian Zhuangzhuang called Guan Ling.
"I said Guan Ling, the school leaders are very dissatisfied with your behavior. Can you give a script like the Golden Lion Award to a director of China Theater Company? The director here at Nortel doesn't have this ability or what?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang said cruel words, but he was also very sad in his heart. I can also shoot it!I can take pictures too!

But he could never say these words.

Guan Ling couldn't explain much.

Tian Zhuangzhuang said again, "From my point of view, maybe you may not have this effect if you shoot this script. After all, Jiang Wen's level is here. But next time there is such a good script, my advice to you You must keep it for yourself, do you understand?"

Guan Ling agreed, and after chatting for a few words, hung up the phone.

The Golden Lion Award was announced, and I didn’t expect that the number of people who called Guan Ling to congratulate was as many as those who called Jiang Wen.

Han Sanpin never got through the call.

After finally getting through, Han Sanpin said five words. "Director Guan, I'm convinced."

Chat a few words.

"In this movie, China Film Group Corporation has benefited from you again and made a lot of money." Han Sanpin felt happy, "When China Film Group invested in this movie, I really didn't expect it to achieve this effect. Moreover, the copyright of this movie, Guan Ling gave [-]% to China Film Group Corporation. Once the rights to the Golden Lion Award are sold, China Film Group Corporation can make a lot of money."

The most critical point is, does China Film care about that little money?
From the beginning of its establishment, China Film Group has not been a profit-oriented group.

The biggest reason why China Film Group was established was to resist cultural invasion and enrich Chinese film culture and spiritual culture.

Compared with the share of the box office, Han Sanpin cares more about the Golden Lion Award!

The previous Golden Lion Awards for Zhang Yimou were not invested by China Film.

This time, this Golden Lion is another highlight on China Film’s wall of honor!This is a political achievement!

"Director Han, the publicity thing is all up to you?" At the end of the conversation, Guan Ling reminded him, "Jiang Wen will cooperate with you when he returns. I made an agreement with him."

"give it to me."

Han Sanpin said, "I will raise this publicity level to the highest level for you!"

"What is the highest?"

"As long as they are Chinese, no one knows this movie." Han Sanpin said, "Leave it to me, I can do it!"
