China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 197: Directors in the industry turned green!

"Your mother won't come back, will she? When she comes back and finds that we are not here, will she..."

Liu Yifei took the initiative to invite, so Guan Ling naturally wanted to let things take its course, but he was mainly worried about Liu's mother, so he asked.

"My mom is going out to play mahjong on New Year's Day. Don't you understand what that means..."

Liu Yifei snorted, and Guan Ling noticed a change in her eyes.

"Yes!"

Guan Ling immediately transformed into a hungry wolf, "Let's go, where are you going to celebrate the New Year?"

"I don't know. Let's go out for a walk first."

Liu Yifei covered herself tightly. At this moment, she didn't want to have some skin-to-skin contact with Guan Ling, but wanted to go out for a walk with Guan Ling.

The ratings of "Menghualu" were recently broadcast, and the average episode ratings stabilized at 6.8%, making Mango TV completely popular before the beginning of 2009. =

After that, Liu Yifei will have to do announcements, promote the movie, and study the script for the new movie.

For her, she has been in a state of mental stress recently.

Going out for a walk, getting some fresh air, and being with Guan Ling made her feel very at ease.

"Would you consider going to see a movie, "Madagascar 2"?" Guan Ling and Liu Yifei went out. It was quite cold outside.

Neither of them knew why they had to go out to face the cold, but Guan Ling felt a lot clearer as he walked, and he felt at ease.

"I remember it seems to be released tomorrow. Teacher He seems to be dubbing in it. You can't watch it until at least twelve o'clock."

She wore a scarf, held Guan Ling's hand, and skipped on the road.

"Teacher Ho?"

"Teacher He from Mango TV, Happy Camp." Liu Yifei said, "This movie was all done by Chinese people, including Lin Yilun, He Jiong, Qin Hailu and others."

Guan Ling snorted and didn't react at first.

Unexpectedly, He Jiong also dubbed cartoons.

“Did you know you were going to win ‘The Kung Fu King’ before ‘Taken’ came out?”

Liu Yifei turned around, thought about it, and couldn't help but ask.

"Actually, I was quite worried when "The King of Kung Fu" was released. I didn't think I acted very well. Although many people praised the movie's rhythm, but for me, I have only slightly improved in the past two days. I can feel relieved. I am really afraid that you will lose, and I am even more afraid that you will lose because of me."

"How is it possible?" Guan Ling held Liu Yifei's face, "You are the fairy sister, a fairy, Ling'er, and Zhao Pan'er. It's too late for those movie fans to like you. How could I still lose because of you? Movie."

"Besides, even if we lose, Brother Cheng Long can't beat Jet Li."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh, "Don't coax me, I just want to talk. Besides, didn't we win?"

Actually, it’s not necessarily certain, it still depends on the box office in North America.

Guan Ling thought so, but didn't say anything.

And he probably has the bottom line, as "Taken" had a high box office on its first day.

Under this circumstance, the flexible film schedule in North America will definitely squeeze the share of "The King of Kung Fu".

And in the previous life, it was Jet Li and Cheng Long who attracted the box office in North America.

This time, there is only one so-called superstar in North America, Li Lianjie himself, and the role of Cheng Long was taken by Liang Xiaolong, so the waves created were not as big as imagined.

The two of them, Liu Yifei's villa, walked to the house bought by Guan Ling. Neither of them went in, but kept walking until they reached a shopping mall.

After entering, there was a lot of traffic.

In the capital city at this time, the shopping malls were brightly lit, and many people were shopping, eating and drinking.

"We can walk around as we please. We're wrapped up so tightly, so we don't have to worry about being discovered."

Seeing Liu Yifei hesitate, Guan Ling directly pulled Liu Yifei for a walk in the mall.

I bought some kebabs and fried meat, and the two of them laughed while eating on the road.

No one paid attention to the two people eating and drinking on the road. After all, who would have thought that celebrities could be so down-to-earth.

The two of them did not dare to enter the store to eat. Once inside, they took off their clothes and masks. Then they would have to bet on other people's eyesight. It would be very troublesome if they were photographed.

After shopping for about two hours, Guan Ling became more courageous.

Because Liu’s mother didn’t have a single text message.

Guan Ling felt that if he asked Liu Yifei to call Liu Xiaoli now, the other person might say angrily:

"Don't disturb me playing mahjong... Sixty thousand."

In short, Guan Ling knew Liu's mother's attitude.

And Liu Yifei, now that she has said that she wants to celebrate the New Year, is ready to have a direct showdown with her mother, and she has no plans to go back this night.

The situation now is that all three people know what may happen.

But they all turned a blind eye and waited for something to happen.

So, Guan Ling and Liu Yifei returned to the room where they had exercised with her before.

When the clock pointed to twelve o'clock, Guan Ling and Liu Yifei were in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with Liu Yifei in front and Guan Ling behind.

The two of them looked up from the high and low positions respectively, and both saw the fireworks rising outside. The fireworks were all over the sky. The gorgeous scenery made Liu Yifei feel very beautiful.

And all the beauty that Guan Ling felt was on Liu Yifei's back.

The slightly lifted top revealed her extremely smooth back.

The entire back is smooth and tight without a trace of fat. When you rub it, it is accompanied by the other person's praise of the scenery outside.

The scenery is really beautiful and the people are beautiful.

The girl's back is so pretty.

I really want to cup some cans on her! It would be a pity not to do cupping.

Guan Ling thought so in his heart.

……

Early in the morning.

Guan Ling got the box office on the last day of 2008. After three days of word-of-mouth fermentation, "Hurricane Rescue" completely trampled "The King of Kung Fu" under its feet, and crushed it to pieces.

Under the huge marketing and publicity efforts of "The King of Kung Fu", although the two-day event slightly squeezed the box office of "Taken" on the second and third days.

But the fourth day.

The single-day box office of Hurricane Rescue once again exceeded 3130 million, million.

The box office in the first weekend exceeded 100 million, and yesterday it directly pushed the box office of this movie to more than 120 million.

Although the box office of "The King of Kung Fu" is still around 10 million.

But for a movie that has just been released and has a huge investment, this data has been declared zero.

Because in the following time, the promotions for "Madagascar 1" on January 1st and "Under the Red Cliff" on January 2th have already followed suit.

"Mei Lanfang" almost stalled.

Very few people bought this movie, and the box office in a single day was only about one million.

Even many theaters are only willing to open two shows of "Mei Lanfang" on a single day.

When she got the news, Liu Yifei was already awake in Guan Ling's arms.

Because I am very excited about the box office exceeding 100 million.

So the two began to celebrate fiercely again.

Even if there was a celebration banquet planned during the day, it could not stop the two of them from celebrating tonight.

In order to celebrate her success, Liu Yifei praised Guan Ling gushingly.

And Guan Ling also awarded Liu Yifei a bonus of hundreds of millions in order to achieve a box office of over 100 million.

After struggling until late at night, the two of them fell asleep.

In the early morning, Liu Yifei woke up first and found that it was already past nine o'clock. She was obviously a little panicked. When she picked up her cell phone, there was no text message or call from her mother. Shu Shang, Huang Xiaoming and others all sent congratulatory text messages.

Congratulations to Liu Yifei for her new movie breaking 100 million yuan.

Liu Yifei was extremely angry.

What I know is that my mother went to play mahjong.

I don’t know, I thought there was something unexpected.

But Liu Yifei also understood that from this day on, everyone had a tacit understanding.

On the contrary, it was Guan Ling who received text messages and phone calls one after another.

……

That afternoon.

The celebration banquet was held as scheduled.

On the first day of the new year, Lingyun Media directly celebrated its movie, which had been released for four days and had a box office of over 100 million.

Everyone in the industry knows exactly why he is celebrating.

But most people came.

In addition to some companies, theaters, directors and actors who already have good relations with Guan Ling, some people who were not present at the last premiere also came this time.

For example, Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli.

For example, Zhang Jiayi and Yanni.

These people are from the Northwest Circle.

Their arrival also showed a bit of the attitude of the Northwest Circle.

After all, Ning Hao is also from the northwest circle in terms of geography, so they are not going to continue to cooperate with Huayi this time.

The phones were sold out last time, so I’m definitely going to join in the fun this time.

For Lingyun Media, this movie is not a box office miracle, nor can it be called Guan Ling's best movie at all. Everyone knows that this celebration banquet means something.

The celebration is not that the box office exceeded 100 million in four days, but that the movie that Huayi had been preparing for almost two years was trampled under its feet.

Huayi did not accept interviews during these three days except for necessary marketing.

Even if I say it, I will be ridiculed by the crowd.

He was also ridiculed by the industry, the audience, and everyone.

So they also know their situation.

They have bet everything on the box office in North America.

Many reporters came to the scene.

When asked about Guan Ling's expectations for the North American box office of "Taken".

Guan Ling said: "Actually, I have obtained some data, but I cannot publish this data here because I am not sure of the accuracy, it is just a rough estimate. But the first week box office will be released soon. I believe that this The box office will not disappoint everyone present.

I shot this movie for two months, and also tortured Cheng Long and Liu Yifei for two months. Every action was carefully crafted, and every line was cadenced.

So I believe that this movie will definitely achieve a high box office in North America. Even globally, it will definitely become the leader in action movies!

I'm not sure if this movie can break the global box office record of "Hearing Girl", but I think the box office of the "Detective Detective" series of movies can easily break through. "

"Director Guan, do you know how much box office your movies made this year?"

The reporter below asked Guan Ling for data. Guan Ling was not prepared and got stuck for a while.

The reporter continued.

"Director Guan, according to our survey, the global box office of your own films this year has exceeded 73 billion yuan."

Wow.

After the reporters finished speaking.

Everyone was stunned.

There was suddenly a commotion inside the entire hotel.

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the celebration party looked at Guan Ling with fear.

Han Sanpin immediately felt his scalp numb.

It's not the reporters who said that they even forgot that Guan Ling made three Hollywood movies last year. If I really pick on the words, including "2012", there were four movies.

The box office of the four films is 2012 million US dollars worldwide for "".

"Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" is close to US$100 million in North America.

"Insidious" grossed more than $50 million at the North American box office.

Now Guan Ling's basic estimate for "Hurricane Rescue" is at least US$100 million.

One person, in one year, can make a movie with a box office starting at one billion US dollars, if the domestic box office is included.

Converted into RMB, it is more than 8 billion RMB.

Recently, the industry has been counting the total box office of domestic movies. Due to the discounts that Guan Ling borrowed from Han Sanpin and the relevant departments issued policies to encourage the construction of cinemas, the number of movie screens this year has increased significantly, and the box office has experienced a blowout compared to last year. increase.

Two days ago, Director Tong also made a concluding speech. Han Sanpin was beside Director Tong at that time.

So the data is still ringing in my ears.

In 2008, the annual film production reached 406, the total box office exceeded 70 billion, and the comprehensive profit of the film also exceeded 80 billion. All achievements have reached new historical highs.

And now.

Guan Ling alone has earned more than 7 billion in box office by directing. If you include the global box office of Hurricane Rescue, it may be 8 billion...

One person, he has done more than the box office of all Chinese movies combined.

Han Sanpin's head was buzzing.

The boss of Huaxia Film, for the first time, felt that his boss position was a bit hot on the butt.

This Guan Ling is a treasure!

Isn't this what Han Sanpin wants to do? Because of Guan Ling's stimulation, the Chinese film market will only get better and better in the future!

And the reporter calculated it very clearly that this was only a directed movie, not a screenwriter's movie, nor an investment movie.

Otherwise, this figure of 9 billion is not a problem.

The news spread from the celebration party to the Internet.

It can’t be fixed directly by the Internet.

"I originally thought Guan Ling was the most powerful director in China, but now I know that the combined box office of China's most powerful directors is greater than the global box office of Guan Ling alone! Such a feat! Zhang Yimou + Chen Kaige + Feng Xiaogang + Even Ning Hao can’t do it!”

"It's a pity that I'm so uneducated. I'm really scared when I hear the numbers."

And a lot of private funds have already taken action.

Maybe you can make money by playing with movie entities.

……

Many directors in the industry turned green on the set.

Brother Chen Kai didn't come this time. "Mei Lanfang" really suffered a disaster. The movie's release trend was good, but it was directly promoted by Guan Ling and Huayi.

He was furious.

I really don’t want to see Guan Ling’s broken face.

Directors from the industry came to attend the celebration, but they felt they shouldn't come.

It's like the media pushed them down on the chair, and there are several big mouths.

Everyone was completely confused.

This celebration party, the first shot of the new year, has not been given to Huayi yet, but to all the directors of Huaxia 2008!
