China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 184

Chapter 183 Zhong Lifang’s thoughts, Guan Ling is really a monster!

As the TV series airs, the industry is discussing "Menghualu", and the audience is discussing the plot of the TV series day and night.

Guan Ling had something going on, so he went to Nortel to see Jiang Wei. While walking on campus wearing a mask, he heard two students talking in the distance. The content of the conversation made Guan Ling prick up his ears.

"Lao Li, did you watch "Meng Hua Lu" yesterday? Damn it, Liu Yifei's acting has shocked me for a whole year. Where has she ever filmed such a seductive role before? She also used a beauty trap for that Zhou She , what kind of Zhou She is this, damn it!"

"That's not true. But now I want to know more about who Ouyang Xu is. The director is also a thief. He deliberately refused to show Ouyang Xu's face. When I know who Ouyang Xu is, I have to scold him to death. That's Liu Yifei. Ah, the other party was always confused and finally gave up. Why don’t you give it to me?!”

"When you say this, we can't be friendly. Senior sister is mine!"

"mine!"

The two looked at each other and wanted to take action.

The male classmates around also listened to the two talking and joined the battlefield, "You two, stop dreaming. What can we think about, Senior Sister Liu? They have all gone to Hollywood. You guys should go and see if you can find a role first. It’s our sophomore year and we are still wasting our time in school. Let’s look back and see how we can join Senior Brother Guan’s crew to do odd jobs.”

"Why do you want to shatter my dream? Senior Sister Liu is the lover of my dreams. Yin Zhiping back then, Ouyang Xu now, and Zhou She, every time I think of them, I want to beat them to death!"

One of the male students was obviously a loyal fan of Liu Yifei, gritting his teeth viciously.

"If you say she is the lover of your dreams, we don't have to draw our swords. Just think about it in your dreams. She is my current lover."

"Go to hell!"

Guan Ling listened to a few people chatting there, and felt so relieved in his heart. Several young people were dreaming there. Of course Guan Ling wouldn't say anything, and there was nothing to be angry about. After all, if Guan Ling talked about himself and Liu Yifei relationship, the other party will definitely be angry to death.

The lover of your dreams was pretending to be Zhao Paner and having sex with me two days ago.

"Meng Hua Lu" has such a strong appeal, scripted by Guan Ling, starring Liu Yifei, starring Liu Yan, starring Jin Sha, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, and the women are beautiful in their own way, there is a fairy sister, there is a bombshell, and there is a little girl who is in love for the first time. Girls, the three heroines each have their own styles, and all the students in the school are chasing them.

It is not surprising to Guan Ling that he can hear these discussions when walking on campus.

As she walked to the teacher's office, she happened to see a few golden flowers. The leader was naturally Jingtian, who had worked with Guan Ling. She looked at Guan Ling and didn't recognize them at first. After all, she was wearing a mask, but she felt it. Something is wrong. After all, no one wears a mask in school.

"Director Guan?"

After hesitating for a moment, Jingtian tentatively said hello.

"Your eyes are so poisonous. You can recognize me at a glance even if I'm wearing a mask." Guan Ling smiled and took off the mask.

"It's really you, Director Guan. When I saw you wearing a mask, I guessed that you were a well-known senior brother or sister. Looking at your figure, I didn't expect that it was really you." Jingtian was very happy, and he was working with Director Guan again. I brushed my face once in front of me.

Jingtian was still very excited in her heart. Why could she tell it was Guan Ling at a glance? That's of course because I think about it day and night, thinking about Director Shangguan's play every day, so I can naturally recognize it at a glance.

When Guan Ling took off his mask, the eyes of several golden flowers instantly brightened. Guan Ling attracted the attention of everyone in just one second.

Guan Ling took a quick look and only recognized Xiao Shuangzi. This star who later became a currency unit was still relatively sweet at the moment.

"Hello, Director Guan, my name is Zheng Shuang. I am classmate Jingtian's roommate. I am from Shenyang."

"Director Guan, my name is Kan Qingzi, and I'm from Harbin. I'm glad to see you here."

"Hello, Director Guan, my name is Lu Shan, and I'm from Zibo."

The eyes of the three people were shining, but Guan Ling's heart was calm. To be honest, apart from Zheng Shuang, the other two Guan Ling have no impression at all.

"Director Guan, these are all my roommates." Jingtian said, "This is the first time for everyone to see you, so they are a little nervous. Don't be surprised."

"What's wrong with saying hello?" Guan Ling said, "I don't know how to eat people."

"Director Guan, are you coming to school to cast a role?" Jingtian asked, and the other three people's ears perked up.

"No, I'm here to see Professor Jiang." Guan Ling shook his head and did not continue.

"Then Director Guan, you are busy first." Jingtian didn't know what to say, "But Director Guan, if you have any roles suitable for me next time, remember to contact me. I can do anything."

"So are we." Several other people also said the same thing.

"Okay, I will consider you when there are roles." Guan Ling waved his hand and was about to leave. He glanced at Lu Shan again and asked, "You said you were from Shandong just now, right?"

Lu Shan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes."

"Okay." Guan Ling didn't say anything, turned around and left, saying to Jingtian, "You guys go do your thing first. If you stay a little longer, I will be surrounded."

"Director Guan, do you want to have dinner together later?" Jingtian became a little bolder and even made an appointment.

"I'll make an appointment later. I'm a bit busy today."

Wait until Guan Ling leaves.

Zheng Shuang looked at Lu Shan, a little confused, "Why did Director Guan ask you if you are from Shandong?"

"Director Guan is from Shandong," Jingtian said, "Shanshan, maybe Director Guan will take care of his fellow villagers."

"Really?" Lu Shan couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Kan Qingzi pouted, "There are many celebrities in Northeast China, but there are really none in Heilongjiang. Shanshan, if you become popular, you have to take care of me and Xiaoshuang with Da Tiantian."

Although they didn't say anything, Zheng Shuang and Kan Qingzi looked at Lu Shan with obvious envy in their eyes.

Guan Ling didn't know that even his casual question would make a few girls think too much, but Guan Ling did intend to support Shandong actors.

He now has the strength, and only he has the strength, to provide support for the development of the artistic level of Shandong Province.

Guan Ling hasn't figured out how to do it yet, but Fan Bingbing, Huang Bo, and Huang Xiaoming are all from Shandong, and they are actually surrounding Guan Ling now.

……

Walk to the office.

Jiang Wei happened to be there, and when he saw Guan Ling coming in, the professor quickly stood up to greet him.

"Hey, Director Guan. Why are you here, and you didn't even give me a call? You're planning a surprise attack."

"That's right. I'm here to remind you that I'm going to give you an official announcement about the TV series "Latent". Taking advantage of the current popularity of "Meng Hua Lu", as long as I announce it, you will be under great pressure."

"Don't say anything about pressure or not. I'm almost done with this script now. I really have this confidence. If you look for someone else, it will definitely not be as good as mine. I don't have any pressure."

"With your words, I feel relieved." Guan Ling said, "I will start the promotion here. Now all the preliminary preparations have been completed and we are waiting for you."

"Sun Honglei is still promoting "Mei Lanfang", why don't we start it again?" Jiang Wei asked Guan Ling's opinion. "Should I wait for him?" Guan Ling picked up the phone and said, "Just a publicity, Liming and Zhang Ziyi are enough, he is just a supplement."

In front of Jiang Wei, Guan Ling's cell phone number was dialed. After passing by, there was only a beep and Sun Honglei's voice appeared.

"Director Guan, what are your orders?"

"The filming of "Insidious" is about to start. Director Jiang Wei will start shooting soon. Do you have any announcements in your hand?"

"Hey, Director Guan, you scared me to death." Sun Honglei said, "I have signed the contract for the male lead in "Latent" for half a year. I thought you kicked me off, Director Guan, but I didn't even dare in the meantime. When I called you, your words really made me breathe a sigh of relief."

Sun Honglei didn't expect to be quite poor. "I am currently promoting "Mei Lanfang", but everything has to be done first. I immediately asked for leave and went to film first."

Sun Honglei reacted quickly and sold the product directly to Brother Chen Kai.

"This guy is really suitable for underground work." Jiang Wei couldn't help but laugh while listening to Sun Honglei's call.

Next, Guan Ling went to visit Wang Jinsong and Tian Zhuangzhuang. The two old men were very happy to see Guan Ling. They even knew that "Menghua Lu" was broadcast, but although the two old men praised it, they didn't watch an episode.

"What I value most now is the movie you screened in Cannes." Tian Zhuangzhuang said sincerely, "What's going on now?"

"Preparations have been made and filming will begin soon."

During this period, apart from being a woman, Guan Ling also did serious business. The basic rough cut of Hurricane Rescue has been completed. It is said to be a rough cut, but in fact the entire film has completed artistic processing. Next, it will go to the United States to complete the final cut. Guan Ling is actually mainly responsible for keeping an eye on it, and the specific business It must be done by the editor below.

However, there are no special effects in hurricane rescue, and editing is not difficult. Even if you go to the United States, you can definitely come back in half a month.

When the time comes, it will be reviewed and finalized and handed over to China Film, and it will be confirmed immediately.

Guan Ling's movies are now registered with China Film and Television Bureau. These gentlemen can even work overtime for Guan Ling, which is something that others cannot possibly encounter.

At the same time, during this period of time, the preparatory work for "Shoplifters" has been fully completed.

Huang Bo has also returned to the company and is waiting to go with Zhou Xun to shoot this movie that director Guan claims to have a chance at the Palme d'Or.

Liu Yifei has been in the capital all the time, and Guan Ling didn't let her take on some low-IQ TV series or movies.

Instead, she was asked to do some hard work.

"Okay, I won't say too much. Work hard." Tian Zhuangzhuang patted Guan Ling on the shoulder, "You are more powerful than we thought. In the film industry, it is better to be bolder. The best is the best. Among them, take one and get the next, I believe you have a chance to succeed."

"Okay. Teacher Tian, ​​you just think I'm brave." Guan Ling said with a smile. He could tell that even Tian Zhuangzhuang was more suspicious than trustful.

"Then just wait and see." Guan Ling stood in front of the window, watching the withered yellow leaves falling outside without saying anything.

……

The popularity of "Menghualu" has reached the point where TV drama production companies in the industry are completely jealous.

Because of its ratings, it topped 5.7% on Mango TV.

5.7%! This is 2.8 times higher than the previous peak of the most popular TV series on Mango TV. In terms of average ratings, it is already three times faster.

This data is terrifying. Unlike CCTV, Mango TV is only a local station, and this TV station cannot even be found in many places.

Therefore, although this ratings is not high among TV stations like CCTV, it has become the golden signature of Mango TV.

Mango TV, the second major TV platform after CCTV, has recently firmly consolidated its position with this TV series.

When it first aired, Mango TV made five investment advertisements for this TV series, but in the past few days, many people came rushing to send money, and the number of advertisements once reached ten.

In order to make this money, the advertising time in the middle of Mango TV's recent TV series has been extended. Now the Internet has begun to criticize Mango TV, but while criticizing, they are waiting.

The director and deputy director of Mango TV are really in pain and happy.

It’s already hard to make money, and unsurprisingly, in the next period of time, the money you make will only increase.

……

The pony gallops.

Zhong Lifeng and Big Dog Brother are chatting in the office.

What she held in her hand was the ratings and recent increase of "Meng Hua Lu". Zhong Lifeng shook his head and laughed in anger. He wanted to say something. His lips were opened and his teeth were exposed. What should he say? Didn't say it out loud.

"Are you smiling bitterly, or are you laughing?" Brother Big Dog was still joking.

"Mr. Gou, please stop making noise. If this continues, how can Galloping Pony go public? At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, we just obtained the land of Baring Asia Investment Co., Ltd. for a round of US$40 million. Financing, this is already the largest investment in this field on the market, but the results we have achieved may not be satisfactory to the employers.

This year we have released a total of three TV dramas, which can be said to be three major dramas in a year: "Glory Days", "Sweet Honey" and "In Our Days". There are revolutionary historical dramas, emotional dramas, and dramas full of life feelings.

Whether it is Sun Li Shayi of Deng Dynasty, Chen Jianbin, Huang Haibo, Liu Ye and others, these people are all very popular.

However, none of the TV series we have produced has reached the level of "Meng Hua Lu" in ratings.

It’s not a problem that we can’t beat “Legend of Bruce Lee”, but we can’t explain it to Lingyun Media who just want to win! "

Zhongli Fang's head was buzzing.

The idols in these TV series are all powerful actors. As a grassroots private film and television production organization, our company has already established a firm foothold in the TV series industry. But the TV series that couldn't stand Guan Ling was released, and the ratings were still very high!

The current situation is that Galloping Pony has hit the ceiling of the television industry. But Guan Ling's side has obviously just begun.

This year, the revenue from the TV series segment accounts for about 40% of Galloping Horse's total revenue.

Zhong Lifeng looked at Big Dog Brother, "Mr. Dog, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"You say it."

"We may have to make movies." Zhong Lifeng said, "Nowadays, the number of TV stations is limited and the broadcast time is limited. There must be an upper limit on the number of TV series that can be broadcast, and there is a monster like Guan Ling, which makes us look so embarrassed.

But this year, the local film market is growing at an extraordinary speed. Whether it's "2012", "Let the Bullets Fly" or "Bongtian Empire", the box office is too high.

I think it's time for us to enter the film market. "

No way, how could Galloping Pony not be jealous of a guy like Ling charging into the movie market?

"Guan Ling is a monster. If we don't fully exploit our advantages, I think our listing may be as long-distance as Huayi's."

Zhong Lifeng sighed. She was really panicked.
