China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 180 The yearning of the new generation of directors

October has passed, and "Let the Bullets Fly" has been successfully released with a box office of 4.3 million.

There is no need to continue to postpone it, because in the last ten days, the box office growth has been as fast as a turtle.

Online reviews have gradually stabilized. Many people believe that the film is a political satire, which may seem subtle but is actually outrageous. Some self-proclaimed cultural people think that this movie is just to cater to the public and is very inferior. But such evaluations are still rare.

All in all, Jiang Wen proved himself.

But in the film and television industry, everyone's views on Jiang Wen seem to be mixed.

Some are emotional, some are jealous, some are envious, some are cold-eyed, and some are sincerely blessing.

Various mentalities appear in the hearts of all kinds of people.

In the new picture, looking at the final box office results, Zhang Yimou closed his eyes to rest, and finally sighed, "Old Zhang, do you think I am old? 4.3 million, you make me think about it, and I don't even dare to think about it. But both Guan Ling and Jiang Wen did it."

"You're not old, you're just tired from the Olympics." Zhang Weiping patted Zhang Yimou on the shoulder, "It's best to come out with the new script as soon as possible. We also have to produce new dramas as soon as possible, otherwise the theaters may forget about it. Who is the national master?"

When some media interviewed Zhang Weiping about his views on Jiang Wen's new movie and Guan Ling's Hollywood movie.

Zhang Weiping's self-confidence was not affected at all.

"I believe in director Zhang Yimou. He is currently the best director in China. I believe that with Zhang Yimou's reputation and film quality, he will soon reach a box office of 400 million yuan, because now there is no one who can compete with Guan Ling , besides director Zhang Yimou, who else could you choose?"

These words were quite bragging and confident, but Zhang Weiping didn't blink an eyelid and was very confident.

Brother Chen Kai saw his son making a fuss in the living room. He got a little angry and went over to give little Arthur a headache. He said with a smile: "It's making trouble every day. Your dad and I are very stressed now that "Mei Lanfang" is released. You are still here deliberately annoying your father."

Little Arthur cried in pain and screamed.

The box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" finally completely broke the mainland box office record of "Bongtian Empire" by several million.

After learning this result, Guan Ling smiled happily.

Guan Ling is very satisfied that Jiang Wen was able to shoot this movie two years in advance. This not only helped Jiang Wen, but also made Jiang Wen a catfish that stimulated Chinese film directors, and also meant the development of Chinese films. Already on the right path.

——The potential of the ticket warehouse is increasing all the time.

In this case, although the total box office of this movie is lower than in the previous life, it has better stimulated the enthusiasm of theater investors. Various theater chains have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The film market is getting bigger, which must be a good thing for the development of the Chinese film industry.

You can get a glimpse of this from the box office growth of a single movie.

"Insidious" has also been released for nearly half a month, and its box office in North America is approaching the 40 million mark. However, the appeal of this movie is only for a group of horror film lovers.

The number of moviegoers has also been slowly declining.

But compared to the low cost of the movie, the box office is already quite good.

During this period of time, the information about Motian Lingyun was also dug up by the media.

And from the establishment of the company, to the company location selection, to the film information produced and distributed, as well as cover stories, they have all become popular on the domestic Internet.

When Skyscraper Lingyun originally released "Tongtian Empire", many people in the industry didn't react. After all, the publisher in the United States used the abbreviation of the English name, Skyscraper-Lingyun, SSLY.

But this time after Guan, the screenwriter of "Latent" was discovered by everyone, news about Motian Lingyun was gradually revealed. Everyone in the industry knew the news. Guan Ling had a company in Hollywood.

The sky is soaring.

Simply looking at the word "Ling Yun", it is self-evident as to who owns this company.

Although starting a company in Hollywood is not exclusive to Guan Ling, Cheng Long, Jet Li and Wu Baige have all done it, but Guan Ling is by far the most stable among those who can carve out a path in North America. He has produced a movie that has become a hit. , a movie was released and became popular, and it was a Chinese-language movie.

Everyone is thinking wildly, and some people even think that if "Bongtian Empire" was distributed by other experienced people, would the box office revenue be more than 100 million US dollars?

In fact, many production companies in the industry did not react much to this news. Everyone knows that Guan Ling is capable.

Since the release of "2012", it was inevitable for him to open a company in North America. This is not something difficult to understand or surprising.

But for many actors in the industry, their hearts are boiling.

"Does this mean that as long as you are selected by Director Guan, you will definitely have the opportunity to go to that place that everyone wants to go to in the future..."

Except for Liu Yifei, no one actually knows much about the existence of this company.

Even some actors from Lingyun Media, including Huang Bo, Fan Bingbing, Zhou Xun, and Liu Yan, were all a little shocked after the news.

But apart from that, they were even more excited.

My boss has a company in Hollywood, so will I have a better chance of proving myself in Hollywood?

Especially Fan Bingbing, Guan Ling promised her to take her to Hollywood, and the company's online information disclosure made Fan Bingbing want to run to Guan Ling now and ask Guan Ling. When can I go by myself?

How long will it take to be a cow or a horse?

Even Zhang Ziyi looked at Fan Bingbing in a daze in the crew, and even joked to Fan Bingbing, "Bingbing, you said I signed a contract with Ling Yun, can Guan Ling accept me?"

The conversation was casual, but Zhang Ziyi was really moved.

It's a pity that she has never cooperated with Guan Ling once until now.

Zhang Ziyi also knows very well that if she goes to Lingyun Media, who will be the first sister? So the joke could only be a joke. Guan Ling would not accept her, and she was sure of it.

Many people are discussing privately, discussing the future, opportunities, and roles.

Discussing how to seize the opportunity if I had such an opportunity to go to Hollywood.

The entertainment industry has been in this kind of atmosphere for a few days, and many celebrities have realized something: why did Director Guan always choose Liu Yifei to go there before? English must be the most important option.

Under everyone's psychological suggestion, New Oriental English training institution suddenly became popular in the entertainment industry.

Many celebrities are signing up for classes, not for exams, but to improve their spoken English.

This incident made Yu Minhong laugh.

In his speech at BJ University, Yu Minhong shared this matter with everyone.

"It can be said that Peking University is the place that changed my life, it is the place that improved me, and made me go from a rural child to the world. It is no exaggeration to say that without Peking University, I would not be where I am today... …

……

Human progress may take a lifetime. To give the simplest example, our company has recently received a lot of invitations from celebrities, and they all want to improve their speaking and English skills, which surprised me a bit. After all, they are all Chinese, and they can’t act in English, right?

But after getting to know them, I realized that the reason why they were like this was because of Director Guan - you all know Guan Ling, I really like watching his movies. I am very young, but the box office has far exceeded that of director Zhang Yimou. Director Guan has a company in Hollywood and has been producing English-language films in Hollywood. It's like having a martial arts secret book in Guan Dao's hands, but written in English. Many people want it, but they have to improve before they can understand what the secret book says.

......"

Yu Minhong's speech was very exciting, and there was laughter from time to time below.

Students at Peking University are also full of curiosity about the entertainment industry. Some students recorded these clips and uploaded them online, which became a hot topic on the Internet.

"Guan Ling transformed into a learning commander in the entertainment industry, and many celebrities began to sign up for classes at New Oriental and take the initiative to learn English."

"The academic level in the entertainment industry is all supported by Guan Dao. This is called using one's own efforts to increase the popularity of bachelor's degrees in the entertainment industry and improve the English speaking level of migrant workers in the entertainment industry. Who is dissatisfied?"

Online comments and news headlines accounted for many hot searches.

"Director Guan is so interesting. He probably didn't expect that his unintentional actions would actually cause the entertainment industry to start learning English crazily!"

"Haha, hahaha, this is so interesting."

Many people couldn't stop laughing, and some people began to take advantage of the popularity and began to take the initiative to invite celebrities to learn English.

Luo Taijun, who teaches GRE English, has established a new educational technology company in BJ to train English. Luo Taijun also started to recruit celebrities to learn English on Niubo.com, which he built. On this platform, which is similar to Weibo, he gathered Liang Wendao, Lian Yue, Chai Waiting for famous people, the number of daily visits has been in the state of one million.

Luo Taijun personally shouted to a circle of celebrities and wished to force them all to come to his new institution to learn English.

……

Han Sanpin couldn't hold it back and called Guan Ling anyway.

"I said, Director Guan, you have no problem filming a movie in Hollywood. Can it be released in China on time? Your "Insidious" can't get in. Every day, netizens call and complain about China Film. Is this weird for us? "

"What about this?"

Guan Ling also couldn't laugh or cry. Netizens really have a lot of free time. If they have this time, they might as well do more work so that they can buy an eyebrow pencil worth 79 yuan.

"Isn't that right? These complaints have made the people below so anxious that they want to come to me and resign."

"Director Han, in fact, these people are just not used to it yet." Guan Ling joked,

"I can't guarantee you that all the movies I make will be released in the mainland.

But these people must learn to get used to these things in the future. Because I will continue to make movies in the related series, I feel that the movies may still not be available. "

"Okay, pretend I didn't say it." Han Sanpin was helpless and thought for a while before saying anything. If it were a movie like "Insidious", China Film could not even find a reason to invest. It was a pity.

……

"Brother Ye."

Wanda Cinema, Jingtian looked at the news on the Internet, feeling a little panicked, just like he was beating very fast, and he was afraid that Guan Ling would be snatched away.

"Do you think I could follow Director Guan and go to Hollywood if I have the chance?"

"Of course. Don't forget, you shook hands with the governor last year. Just go to Hollywood and wait."

"But I feel that the competition from Director Guan will be fierce in the future." Jingtian pouted, "And I really don't have much confidence."

"Fierce competition is also a good thing. It means no one will be selected immediately. Have you seen the recent news on the Internet? Many celebrities have begun to study English like crazy. You are different from them. Your English level is very good."

"That's right." A smile broke out on Jingtian's face, "Thank you, Brother Ye."

……

northeast.

Jilin.

In a small crew, a man with disheveled hair and big-framed eyes is helping others shoot short videos of the crew. He is the cameraman of the crew. At the same time, he also shoots some short videos on a daily basis.

After working for most of the day, Wen Muye had time to take a bite of food.

"Brother, I've thought about it, I still want to have a BJ." Wen Muye looked at the news photos stored on his phone. It said that Lingyun Media was recruiting directors and was willing to give new directors a chance. There was a firm look in his eyes. light.

"It's too difficult to get along in Beipiao." A classmate advised, "Everyone wants to try Lingyun Media, but can Guan Ling really choose you? Brother, let's face the reality. We are just students with three books."

Wen Muye said nothing, but the light in his eyes dimmed slightly.

He came from an ordinary background and went to three colleges in college. Because he failed in the college entrance examination, he did not choose the right college, but he had to choose the major he liked.

He wanted to choose both the directing department and the choreography department, and even often took classes in college.

And he had already started trying some short films when he was in school.

If you can’t afford to make a feature film, you can still make a short film. He saved money to buy some simple equipment, caught his classmates and started shooting some short videos.

The first short film cost 100 yuan, the second one 200 yuan, the third one 400 yuan, the fourth one 600 yuan, and then slowly it cost thousands. These are his explanations to himself. In his opinion, one cannot wait for opportunities to come to him.

"I don't want to give up on myself. We live in a society where there are too many impossibilities. But if you choose to give up on yourself, how can there be any pie in the sky?"

Wen Muye took a deep breath for a long time, finally raised his head and looked at his classmates, and made his decision.

He knows that one of his strengths is precision. Wen Muye is very confident in his ability. Whether it is people or animals, he has always done a good job in capturing emotions.

He believes that this is his unique strength.

So, he must want to try.

Meanwhile, B.J.

Guo Fan, who works in a TV station, looked at the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Insidious" on his computer. He recalled his excitement when watching "2012" and also recalled the 1995 movie that had always influenced him. The movie - "Terminator 2".

At that time, this video completely planted the seeds of science fiction movies in his heart.

"I must go to BJ, I want to go to film school." This is his dream.

However, Nortel's directing department had no enrollment plan in Shandong during the college entrance examination, so Guo Fan chose to enter Hainan University to study law. After graduation, he resolutely went to BJ with a movie dream.

"Why doesn't Director Guan make science fiction movies?"

Looking at Lingyun Media, which has never produced science fiction movies, Guo Fan, who encountered various hardships during his work, finally made a decision:

Let’s take the directing exam at BJ Film Academy. Whether it's once or twice.

This has nothing to do with Guan Ling or Lingyun Media.

"Because I want to make science fiction movies, because that's what I want to do."
