China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 186 Movie news, schedule, promotion

"Lingyun Media's new TV series "Latent" is about to start filming! It will be directed by Professor Jiang Wei from Nortel. It is reported that director Jiang Wei previously had a cooperative relationship with Dongyang Qingyu, but later took the initiative to change careers, and is now a contracted director under Lingyun Media and Noon Sunshine."

"Republic of China spy drama. "Insidious" has nothing to do with the North American horror film "Insidious"."

""Menghualu" is a hit in the TV industry, and screenwriter Guan Ling's new work "Latent" is even more popular in the genre. It is basically scheduled to be one of the hit TV series in 2009."

Details about the "Insidious" TV series are slowly being revealed, whetting the appetite of the industry.

Many film directors have paid a little attention to one of Guan Ling's TV series. This is Guan Ling, and his every move attracts attention.

And almost all the young actors stared eagerly.

But the news soon spread, starring Sun Honglei, Yan Danchen, Shen Aojun and Zu Feng.

The main characters have been decided.

As soon as the news came out, the expectation in the industry's eyes suddenly dimmed.

The crew of "Mei Lanfang" directly began to capitalize on Sun Honglei's popularity and began to use the industry's attention to Guan Ling to promote their own movie.

"'Mei Lanfang' is about to be released. Starring Sun Honglei will definitely miss the road show promotion, just because he will participate in Guan Ling's new drama "Latent"."

"After "Latent", there is "Latent" again, with the same Chinese name. From a publicity perspective, Guan Ling is completely out of his element."

"The TV series "Insidious" is the first to enter the field of espionage. As the TV type that tops the ratings list, the industry generally believes that this TV series will sell for a sky-high price!"

On the night the news was broadcast, CCTV 1 called Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, can CCTV 1 participate in this drama first? If investment is not possible, we are willing to buy it at a high price."

The TV director of CCTV 1 personally called Guan Ling and spoke very casually.

The previous cooperation between the two parties on "The Ming Dynasty" was very pleasant. CCTV did not want to miss this spy drama.

"I'm sorry, Director Chen. The investment has been put in place. This time I just want to take advantage of the recent popularity to announce it."

Guan Ling declined with a smile. It’s impossible to pick peaches like this. Even if it was CCTV, the other party's call was actually very presumptuous because there were no cooperation details, indicating that the other party's main purpose was to purchase at a high price.

"But I definitely hope that "Latent" can be broadcast on CCTV 1. The audience group is highly consistent. But as for the price, I can't make the decision now." Guan Ling didn't say yes, nor did he say no.

The high price still depends on everyone’s price comparison.

Sun Honglei was quickly interviewed by the media. When asked how Sun Honglei felt about starring in a TV series written by Guan Ling.

Sun Honglei just smiled and didn't say much.

"I have worked with Director Guan before, and I feel that Director Guan's film and television works will never lack popularity. Director Guan made an appointment with me before this drama. After more than half a year, I thought Director Guan no longer wanted me. , I’ve been sad for a long time.”

Sun Honglei made a little joke.

"Right now, I'm very excited. Director Guan's writing skills and directing abilities are obvious to the audience, and the popularity of the recent hit "Meng Hua Lu" has also created a new high in TV drama ratings. So I am full of expectations now."

In fact, many production companies in the industry are already preparing to fill in people when promoting TV series, including small supporting roles.

The script written by Guan Ling, in the TV series, is like the magic pen Ma Liang. There is nothing that is not popular.

No one doesn't have an idea.

Tian Zhuangzhuang also called Guan Ling.

"You, you, your heroine and supporting actor used products from Nortel. This seems to be a good thing, but you, the male protagonist, used products from our company. You know how to impress our school leaders? Medicinal.”

Tian Zhuangzhuang was joking, and Guan Ling quickly said sorry.

"After some deliberation at the time, I still felt that Sun Honglei was right for this protagonist. He is a senior from Nortel. I really didn't expect him to be suitable."

"I'm kidding you, why are you apologizing to me?" Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "Just take care of yourself. Those who are successful in the drama will be successful in the drama. As long as the acting is good enough, then you are a good actor."

For a long time, the film and television industry has not been in an uproar because of a TV series.

But at this time, the announcement of "Insidious" directly borrowed the name of the North American horror film "Insidious" and the popularity of "Menghualu", and it became popular before it was aired.

In the industry, there are many eyes staring at you.

All parties are paying attention and are very solemn. Some TV drama production companies are even considering what they need to do in the future - explosion prevention.

Guan Ling can't be more popular. A film director who plays TV dramas. If he produces a TV series every day and becomes popular, if he can directly raise the peak of satellite TV ratings at every turn, how can these companies still make movies?

How else can these companies feed shit to their audiences?

……

At the same time, the filming plan for the spy drama "The Wind" was also announced.

Since it is going to be a spy drama, with all the publicity, "The Wind" can use "Insidious" to attract a wave of attention, which will be of considerable benefit to the filming and future release of the movie.

"Director Chen Guofu is about to start directing a new movie. Lingyun Media has announced a new movie plan, the movie is called "The Wind"!"

Unlike "Insidious", when the movie "The Wind" was announced, it specifically marked the news of accepting auditions.

This made all companies with artist management contracts instantly red-eyed.

After all, "Insidious" is a TV series, and this is a movie. Movie fans are bigger than TV series fans, and Chen Guofu is one of the best film producers and film producers under Lingyun Media. His movie has a box office of 200 million. Could it be a problem?

Everyone knew the box office success this movie would achieve, so for a while, the entertainment industry went crazy.

In just one night, Guan Ling received a lot of news.

Out of sight, out of sight, Guan Ling turned off his phone and headed to the United States.

He went to the United States with his two assistants. Guyot came to the airport to greet him with a smile on his face. It seemed that he had made a lot of money, which made him very proud.

Guan Ling is probably planning the next series of work after going to the United States.

The editing work of "Hurricane Rescue" went relatively smoothly. Guan Ling saw the rough cut of the film and it met his expectations. The next thing he had to do was to reshape it himself and direct the editing.

I guess it will only take the last few days.

After all, it’s enough to go through all the shots once, they are all in Guan Ling’s mind.

A series of processes for release in the United States have basically been completed. After the film editing is completed, the producer and investor can be directly uploaded according to the rating, and then wait for it to be released in theaters. The speed will only be faster than domestically.

As for domestically, when the time comes, contact China Film Group to directly apply for a domestic release license. It can be processed urgently and the Lunar New Year release will not be a problem at all.

Then I have to go and see how far the Twilight movie has progressed.

Guan Ling also thought of Tang Wei, and he had to contact CJ Entertainment as soon as possible.

Tang Wei couldn't be kept waiting too long. Guan Ling was not a woman who kept her word. Mainly because when she came to the United States again, Guan Ling thought of the woman who came to see him with Li An. Her wild energy was worth it. Aftertaste.

After thinking about it, Guan Ling sent Tang Wei a text message.

"How about being at CJ Entertainment?"

"It's good for me here. They have provided some opportunities to participate in roles. Although it is not a big production or a big role, I have been filming normally. Although it seems a bit idle recently, I can't stop. There is just one thing I’m not used to it…these people eat pickles all the time.”

The caller came back over there, and his tone of voice was relatively calm. Guan Ling could tell that the person on the other end was not excited enough.

"Years ago, I will give a script to CJ Entertainment before the year." Guan Ling said, "I won't make you wait too long." In fact, Guan Ling was thinking in his mind that if he gave a script to South Korea, he would definitely give it to I wanted to avoid wasting my own shooting resources when I couldn't shoot things here in China, and I also wanted Tang Wei to be influential there. The first thing that came to my mind was the movie that changed Korean law.

Moreover, if it were this movie, there would be room for Tang Wei to perform.

When I had this idea before, Guan Ling had already purchased the copyright of the Korean reality novel, so the film and television treatment was already within Guan Ling's capabilities.

And this movie can make money, so why not?

The most important thing is influence. Guan Ling believes that after this movie is filmed, as long as his Lingyun Media's movies are released in South Korea, they will definitely arouse heated discussions among the audiences in Kimchi Country every time.

"Really?"

Tang Wei had actually been waiting for Guan Ling's call. When she finally got it, she was still a little unbelievable.

"Why did you lie to me?"

"I feel a little unreal," Tang Wei said, "Can I ask what kind of script it is?"

"Do you know the Korean Blue Dragon Award?" Guan Ling asked.

"I know, this film festival is called the Oscars of South Korea." Tang Wei's breathing was a little rapid, "Director Guan, you didn't mean... you want to win the Blue Dragon Award, right?"

Incredible!

In Tang Wei's head, there were only these four words.

However, Tang Wei was stunned by Guan Ling's words the next second.

"No, this award is not worthy." Guan Ling said, "This is a movie that will make you forever remembered by Koreans. This is a movie that will stay in Korean history."

"Me? A Chinese?"

Tang Wei was dumbfounded.

"Yes," Guan Ling said, "I can't make Chinese-language movies complete classics in Korea, but I can make Chinese people sit on the list of characters in the best movies in Korea."

no answer.

Tang Wei could only remain silent for a moment, but a huge wave formed in his heart.

"I won't talk to you for now. I'm a little busy here. I'll see you later when I fly to South Korea." Guan Ling hung up the phone.

On the other side, Tang Wei was still immersed in Guan Ling's words, and he was dumbfounded.

She didn't disbelieve Guan Ling's words, but that sense of trance and unreality made her body tremble constantly.

These past few years have been like a dream to her.

From a little-known actor, she directly became a film heroine who won the Venice Golden Lion Award. She received numerous praises at home and abroad, but was softly banned in the mainland in an instant, and ended up living in a foreign land.

I thought that this would be it for the rest of my life, but I fell into the trap of Guan Ling.

But he got a promise from the other party that he would make a movie that would stay in Korean history.

"Is it really okay?" Tang Wei suddenly wanted to cry.

Guan Ling didn't know that at this moment, Tang Wei wanted to get into his arms and feel her blazing warmth, completely making Director Guan surrender.

……

The movie I want to make is "The Crucible".

The reason why Guan Ling wants to give this movie to South Korea is, firstly, because the movie itself is based on Korean reality, and secondly, because this movie will never pass the review in China.

I know about film shooting and I also know about film red lines.

It is impossible for Guan Ling to compete with the above with this kind of movie.

This movie, even if the location is changed and the plot is optimized, as long as it is in Chinese, it is an extremely difficult movie to review.

The best choice is to stay in South Korea.

Guan Ling knew this,

Because there are many shocking and bizarre events in China, and every event can become a rich mine for movies.

But the things involved will affect too many people.

All things in darkness and uncertainty will cause psychological panic, and thus add divine power that should not be there. It becomes greater than the event itself, and it breeds various derivatives. It is like the soul-calling magic, triggering more Great turmoil.

Therefore, it cannot be photographed.

……

Before the end of November in the United States, the editing work of "Taken" was completely completed.

In the United States, the Christmas war is about to begin.

"Four Christmases", "Traffickers 3", "The Punisher 2: War Zone", "The Day the Earth Stood Still", "Deperro".

There are quite a lot of movies, but Guan Ling has actually seen a small part of them.

In fact, Guan Ling is quite strange. Americans particularly like mice. There are many cartoons in which mice are the protagonists. It seems that mice are the protagonists, which can make their audiences feel safe.

In China, the promotion of various movies has also begun to involve gods fighting.

The major theaters are already in full swing and have begun to enter the biggest battle.

Everyone is waiting strictly.

In fact, the box office of November's movies was okay. "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" was a failure overall. It was a mess, with a box office of only over million.

But "007: Quantum of Solace" grossed 1.6 million in box office in five days. One month later, the box office has reached million.

Throughout November, it was a sweep.

In December, the promotion of the Lunar New Year Fairy Fight has reached fever pitch.

Promotions for "Women Are Not Bad", "Lightning Dog", "The King of Kung Fu" and "Spike" are everywhere.

Especially "The King of Kung Fu", Hua Yi is holding her breath and waiting for it to be released right now.

But there hasn't been much movement on "Taken."

A lot of people have been asking about this because the movie was previously scheduled for December.

China Film.

Han Sanpin received a call from Guan Ling.

"When is the release date of "The King of Kung Fu" set?"

"December 12.28th."

"That's in time." Guan Ling said, "It's New Year's Day. Huayi has worked so hard to promote, so we have to make a sound to the industry. I'll take this day too."
