China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 167 Tear, Ning Hao’s call
  "Director Guan Da, let me see how your shooting ability is."

After reading the message her mother sent her, Liu Yifei curled her lips. The reply was very simple, "You can hang on, but you can't take the initiative."

What answer is this? Liu Yifei frowned, not knowing how to operate this at all. No experience at all.

In fact, the reason why Liu Yifei followed her mother's instructions and chose to film like this this time was because she really believed that the plot shot this way was more realistic, which was good for the plot and even the entire movie.

The second reason is that she also wants to know how Guan Ling feels about her.

If you like it, why not pursue it? Why don't you confess?
  It would be good to try it out with the plot.

Just thinking about it, Liu Yifei jumped up and ran to the camera.

Guan Ling looked at the other party's black and white, and the white was translucent, and he only felt that it was shashy. Although the other party did not have Liu Yan's Ru kiln, it had unusual stability. Because it hardly trembled, Guan Ling wondered whether it formed an isosceles triangle after being gathered together, so the structure was quite stable.

Nothing but beauty. Guan Ling thought to himself. Not to mention Liu Yan, there was a huge gap between her and Yang Mi.

The aesthetics are very good, which really moved Guan Ling's mind. The main thing is the overall appearance. She is very fair and has long hair. She is very well-behaved. A well-behaved person wears such well-behaved clothes. In addition, she shed tears during the filming just now. The tears in the corners of his eyes completely gave people a sense of protectiveness.

Standing next to Guan Ling, Liu Yifei looked at herself in the camera holding her arms and crying. Then she seemed to see something in the camera. She looked a little scared and began to loosen her hands to cover her lower body, and then sobbed. Then, he continued to suddenly raise his hands and hug himself tightly again.

With such a continuous up and down cycle, his face has already become extremely desperate.

Guan Ling instructed her to do this because it could show her confusion. During the actual filming, Guan Ling would also edit the eyes of the characters at the front of the auction after these actions. Such interlacing made the rhythm appear more rapid.

"I feel so pitiful. I feel very distressed about my own performance." Liu Yifei was very satisfied. She felt that her performance was good, so she praised herself directly.

"Actually, I feel a little distressed." Guan Ling said, "But I feel distressed. Can you be careful when standing next to me so as not to rub against me? And why aren't you wearing clothes? Are you really not afraid that I will get a nosebleed?"

"Do you have a nosebleed?" Liu Yifei sneered, then straightened her head forward, "It's bleeding, it's bleeding."

You should really endorse Tingmei. Guan Ling couldn't help but look at it fiercely a few times, looking scorchingly at the depths of the other's valley. Not to mention, although it wasn't steep, it was quite deep.

"I mean, classmate Xiao Liu, we have a pure relationship as classmates. Are you trying to make our friendship less pure with your temptation?"

"Okay, okay, it's a pure classmate relationship." Liu Yifei put on her clothes angrily, but she was quite angry in her heart. "I finally tested it out. In your heart, you actually have a pure relationship with me."

Liu Yifei was quite arrogant. After hearing what Guan Ling said, she felt a little clogged in her heart and her face didn't look very good.

She felt embarrassed that she and her mother had whispered a lot because of Guan Ling.

The two of them had been thinking about what Guan Ling thought of them, but they didn't expect that the other party just said that they were classmates.

After finishing getting dressed, Guan Ling had already watched the footage on the monitor several times, and it felt really good.

But something suddenly occurred to him, "No, there's still a scene we haven't taken yet. If you want to take off your clothes again, you don't have to take them off completely, just from the neck up. I'll take a close-up."

"Ah?" Liu Yifei looked at the script and saw that it really existed.

It's the line below, but it's actually another clip.

The story is that after Cheng Long went on a killing spree at the auction, he found his daughter, and then the daughter cried and said, "Dad, you finally came to save me."

Now it is normal for Guan Ling to want to take this opportunity to add something directly.

Later, when filming Cheng Long's scenes, she no longer had to take off her clothes. Liu Yifei knows this very well.

Although she is not happy, Liu Yifei is still very serious about movies.

She quickly calmed down her emotions again, put the desperate feeling on her face again, and cried out the line with a cry.

But because Cheng Long is not here, these words can only be performed without real objects.

"Dad, you finally came to save me!"

she cried, reaching forward.

"Okay, click." Guan Ling stopped the machine, then came over and said happily, "Okay, good girl, you can put on your clothes."

"You took advantage of me, right?" Liu Yifei said angrily, "Did you do it on purpose because you saw my mother was not here? Moreover, I will take off your clothes if you ask me to, and I will wear them if you ask me to. You treat me like a What?"

Sure enough, women are all the same kind of creatures when they are angry. Guan Ling didn't know why Liu Yifei suddenly changed her face, but took the initiative to lift Liu Yifei's clothes up for her.

"Since you don't put it on yourself, it doesn't count as doing anything if I help you put it on."

Guan Ling said, "But next time you want to take off your clothes in front of me, we don't need to be on the set. We can do it in the bedroom, in the kitchen, on the bay window, or even in your Ferrari. Just don't have too many people."

Liu Yifei looked at Guan Ling with crooked eyes, "Can you and your pure classmate do these things?"

"Of course, as long as you are willing." Guan Ling said with a smile, "Besides, who said that a pure relationship must always be pure? Haven't you heard of the song written by Fatty Gao? I want to talk to my deskmate Your long hair is tied up.”

These words made Liu Yifei excited. She felt that she was still a little charming.

It seems that ginger is still spicy. Although Guan Ling didn't say anything, he definitely had thoughts in his heart. Mom sees it really accurately.

It's strange that Liu Yifei felt Guan Ling's ambition, but she didn't feel any resistance at all.

……

It's been half a month since "Kung Fu Panda" was released, and the movie has topped the box office in North America.

The mainland is not far behind. Taking advantage of the global popularity of the Beijing Olympics, "Kung Fu Panda", which was adjusted by Guan Ling, directly reached the box office of over 4100 million in two weeks in the mainland with a box office of 5900 million and [-] million respectively.

This was achieved under the pressure of Jet Li's "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor".

The box office revenue of "The Mummy 3" is also very high in China, with a box office of 1400 million on the first day and a box office of 3400 million on the first weekend. Although it has a bad reputation, the box office revenue is indeed very high.

After "Let the Bullets Fly" won the Golden Lion Award, these mainland movies became less important.

Even the release of Ning Hao's new movie "The Golden Heist" seemed low-key. When arranging films, each theater chain actually gave Lingyun Media a lot of face, but "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Mummy 3" are indeed popular, so everyone also wants to see the flexibility of "The Golden Heist" in the hearts of the audience. Deciding whether to re-schedule more films.

But precisely because of this, Ning Hao felt a lot of pressure on himself.

Although the investment in this movie is not high, Ning Hao really doesn't want the movie's box office to plummet, so that everyone can take action.

Moreover, what puts Ning Hao most under pressure is that he is afraid of embarrassing himself.

The time period chosen is not bad. The potential of "The Incredible Hulk" has been basically squeezed out. "Kung Fu Panda" has also been released for two weeks. Although there is still room for it, many viewers have begun to look for other movies to watch.

Comedy has become an important genre that audiences want to watch.

On September 9, everyone at Lingyun Media breathed a sigh of relief when the first-day box office was released. The first-day box office exceeded 7 million.

This score is already very high, enough for Ning Hao to relax.

After all, there are two so-called Hollywood blockbusters that have blocked the living space of comedy, so Ning Hao was able to win this box office under the attack, which is enough for Ning Hao.

The industry has discovered that Lingyun Media has another hit.

And not one, but two.

"Kung Fu Panda" can also be regarded as Ling Yun's next movie. After all, regarding Ling's share rights, the box office almost exploded.

And now, "The Golden Heist" is sweeping the world again.

The audience's evaluation of this movie is very polarized. Most of them think that this movie is not good to watch, because it does not have the surprise that "The Stone" and "Racing" brought to people, but it is more of a commercial aspect of this movie. sexual attributes, and the mainstream commercial narrative structure behind them.

Many people criticized Ning Hao, and some even began to criticize Lingyun Media, saying that Lingyun Media had led Ning Hao astray. Ning Hao is no longer as pure as he was when he shot "Incense" and "Green Grass", and there is no longer that young director who has infinite respect for the film itself.

"Ning Hao has exhausted his talents? "The Golden Heist" dare not be called "Crazy Heist" because the movie itself is not worthy of the word crazy!"

"The box office of "Golden Heist" exceeded [-] million on the first day. It should be easy to achieve such a breakthrough of [-] million, but this movie also shows the decline of Ning Hao's personal style."

Ning Hao felt very sad when he saw the news.

But he didn't think the movie was bad. On the contrary, he saw many people laughing in the theater.

This left him feeling torn.

On the one hand, he knew that what he photographed was valuable, at least universal. But on the other hand, he felt that this kind of movie was not what he wanted. He just filmed Lingyun Media's script step by step, that's all.

After calling Guan Ling, Ning Hao found that he didn't know where his development direction was.

After the call was dialed, Guan Ling listened to Ning Hao's nagging to him.

"Director Ning, please forget all the online reviews for now. Don't think about how bad this movie is or how good previous movies were. Just tell me from the bottom of your heart, do you think this movie is bad?"

"Not really. I studied the script in depth at that time. This is the embodiment of the inferiority and superiority of small people in a big era. With a little joke, the overall structure is very complete, but of course I value it. It’s not the simple integrity of the film’s structure. It’s its viewing value and its extension and reflection on the theme of human nature.

A little person, in the era of the Puppet Manchukuo, needs to lose his family, his friendship and his love one by one, just because he is involved in the vast sea of ​​​​people. I think this is what I want. Let the audience see something, but unfortunately, I didn’t do it well. "

When Guan Ling gave this film to Ning Hao, he didn't consider Ning Hao's current situation. He simply didn't want Ning Hao to film the "No Man's Land", so he wanted to find something for Ning Hao to do.

But now Guan Ling felt that it was time to talk to Ning Hao.

Because the reason why this drama came out in the previous life was because Ning Hao was killed as soon as he wrote the script, and he was killed as soon as he wrote it. Finally, it was too deep, and the filming was completed, but the film continued to be killed by radio and television.

It was under this situation that Ning Hao wrote the movie "The Golden Robbery". From a style perspective, this is clear evidence that Ning Hao is preparing to transform from personal style movies to the mainstream commercial market.

Guan Ling initially wanted to help Ning Hao grow, but he didn't expect it to cause trouble for Ning Hao.

"Actually, it's enough for you to know the good things in your movie. You can digest them slowly in the future." Guan Ling comforted,

"Artistic films have value, but the value of commercial films cannot be underestimated. Maybe one day in the future, many people will go out to drive and go to the cinema to choose the recently popular movies to entertain themselves. This is the process of the development of things towards popularization. of.

There are not only Yangchun Baixue in this world, but also lower-level people.

Similarly, the world not only needs sea cucumber and abalone, but also needs a bowl of pickled cabbage soup, and movies that are suitable for both young and old, and that appeal to both refined and popular tastes to make them happy, what do you think? "

"I understand." Ning Hao nodded.
  He thought of Guan Ling. Everyone was scolding Guan Ling for not winning the top three in Europe. Everyone was talking behind his back. Guan Ling was a great director of commercial films, but in front of Guan Ling, no one dared to say it. Ling's status can no longer be shaken by those people.

"Sometimes, there is no need to have so many ideas behind the movie. My "Taken" is a great movie that is enjoyable from beginning to end. But with this kind of rhythm, they will only marvel, envy, and secretly poke fun at it. I'm so jealous. Don't you think so?"

After persuading Ning Hao for a few words, Ning Hao finally confirmed his choice.

"Thank you, Director Guan. I will make the movies I like, but I will also plan for better scripts and commercial films, which is also the best path for many directors."

……

After hanging up the phone, Guan Ling received a call from Li An.

"Director Guan, congratulations on winning the Golden Lion Award for your screenwriter's work. I never expected that that guy Jiang Wen had encountered numerous obstacles in Venice, but was promoted by your script."

"It's not really my fault." Guan Ling said with a smile, "Director Jiang is still very capable. If I were to shoot this script, I wouldn't be able to achieve the same effect as him."

"Okay, let's stop flattering each other."

Ang Lee said sincerely: "I'm calling you, Director Guan, mainly to invite you for something. Now that the Chinese film has won the Golden Lion three times in a row, does Director Guan want to give it a try next year? I am the chairman of the Venice jury. , this can be said to be my invitation to you, Director Guan, on behalf of Venice, what do you think?"

"Four consecutive golden lions?" Guan Ling said, "If I take the photo, can I get it or what?"

"I can't guarantee that, but Director Guan, I'm looking forward to it. I believe the Chinese audience may be looking forward to it too. What do you think?"
