China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 199 The fiery red beach door!

"Chinese?"

Han Sanpin still opened his mouth to confirm. Just now Guan Ling said that he wanted to make a Chinese-language movie, and he implicitly believed that Guan Ling would make a Chinese-language science fiction movie.

But Han Sanpin didn't want to be happy too early, so he still had to ask clearly.

"If it were made in Hollywood, it would definitely be better than a Chinese-language movie."

Guan Ling said, "But sometimes, making money is not the main purpose. Director Han, are you right?"

"Are you serious?"

Han Sanpin naturally knew what Guan Ling meant.

With Guan Ling's current status, if a science fiction movie is shot and released in the United States, he will definitely make more money than in the mainland.

The impact will be greater.

"I've finished the script." Guan Ling looked at Han Sanpin.

"But there's just one thing. To be honest, I'm afraid that the radio and television won't let me film it."

"Is there pornography, gambling or drugs? If it's gambling or drugs, there's nothing I can do. If there's a little bit of color involved, I'll go find the relevant departments."

"Dr. Han, you really know how to joke."

Guan Ling said with a smile, "Nothing, except that the military may be involved, and there will also be footage of terrorists and a train of people being blown up."

After Han Sanpin heard this, he felt even more excited, and Guan Ling made him feel itchy.

"If that's the case, I think there should be no problem. Where is the script? Can I take it back? I will give you some advice then."

He was so curious.

Because from the time Guan Ling made his first movie until now, apart from "2012" which is considered a science fiction disaster movie, his other movies are really not in the science fiction genre.

So even though Han Sanpin had this idea for a long time, he did not talk to Guan Ling about related matters.

And in the final analysis, he couldn't make a movie like "2012" in mainland China.

Han Sanpin knows better than anyone how far China's film industry has developed.

In his opinion, it is enough for China to produce Korean movies like "The Monster of the Han River".

In the past two years, he has been using this movie to encourage Chinese directors to make movies with high technological content.

Others don't know what he said, but he knows best. The tone of those words is partly sour and partly envious.

But it is indeed a bit difficult for everyone.

Just a month later, there was a movie called "Snake Curse", which was produced by China Film Investment Corporation, starring Liu Jiahui, and the heroine was Fang Yu from "Love in the Rain". The finished film was sent to Han Sanpin's table. After watching it , almost vomited out the overnight meal given to Han Sanpin.

But he held his nose and scheduled the film.

Because science fiction, in mainland China, has always been at this level.

He knows very well that Chinese movies are really poor in the genre of science fiction.

And in the past few decades, it has been very bad.

Science fiction movies are very important to the country's culture, because they represent the country's cultural confidence.

This is also what China Film Group, led by Han Sanpin, has been committed to doing.

That is to prevent Chinese culture from being eroded and assimilated by foreign cultures.

Even though China has always been sincere in creating science fiction films, it is useless if its level is not high enough.

Science fiction films have been produced as early as the 30s. In 1938, a film called "Shanghai 1998 Years Later" came out. The story is not complicated. It mainly tells the story of two young people, one fat and one thin. Due to an incurable disease, he was anesthetized and cryopreserved. By the time they thawed and recovered again, sixty years had passed (). The sight before them made them dizzy. They saw video calls, flying cars, robots and other technologies that we now consider commonplace.

This movie sounds a bit incredible even to Guan Ling, because this movie was filmed in 1938.

The Anti-Japanese War has just begun.

But this movie undoubtedly proves that Chinese science fiction movies have a history and early prototypes.

Unfortunately, the master film of the film was lost.

Before the 1980s, Chinese films only knew science and education in the field of science fiction. People did not have a clear understanding of the business concept of science fiction films, and the national conditions also prevented the emergence of many bad elements, so the people did not know what this stuff was at all.

Everyone usually watches movies like "Tunnel War" and "Plains Guerrilla".

The occasional "Rhapsody on the Ming Tombs Reservoir" has given life to domestic science fiction movies.

Because in this movie released in 1958, video calls, short videos, flying drones, genetically modified plant grafting technology and Mars immigration appeared.

It's really an awesome movie.

After the 1980s, reform and opening up allowed film workers to lift their feet off the ground, and smart IQs once again occupied the high ground.

There have been movies like "Death Light on Coral Island" that are similar to Hollywood commercial films, as well as creative science fiction movies or disaster movies such as "Thunderbolt Babe" and "Atmospheric Disappearance".

In Thunderbolt Beibei, Beibei is influenced by aliens, so he can discharge electricity and control electricity.

And "The Invisible Doctor" even outshines similar American movies, and has a lot more imagination.

There have been many excellent works of both soft and hard science fiction.

It can be said that the sky is unconstrained and everything is new.

Movies such as "The Opposite Sex" and "The Terminator" have also appeared abroad. This is indeed a golden period for Chinese science fiction movies. At the same time, it was also a golden period for the development of global science fiction movies, because "Terminator 2" directly became a milestone in the revolution of film technology.

But after 2000, China’s science fiction movies almost dropped to zero.

Due to the disapproval of capital, the limitations of light and shadow production technology, and the conservative vision of investors, it is still difficult for my country's science fiction movies to reach the mainstream. More of them are produced on offline discs and are spread among niche movie fans in the form of cult films. Most of them use romantic scenes and sensory stimulation to make up for the lack of special effects in the movie.

As for the special effects, they were all used in costume movies.

They are all big scenes in costume blockbusters. To be honest, the two true science fiction movies, "Shark Beach" and "2012", were both produced by Guan Ling. The latter is still a Hollywood industrial film, China only has a director and a starring role.

"Yangtze River No. 7" can barely be considered, but the younger generation is very serious. To be honest, whether this is a science fiction film is another question.

All in all, the science fiction movies of this period are nothing compared to the development in Japan and South Korea.

Dong Shi Xiaochang didn't learn it well either, so he used all the special effects in "The Promise".

Others don't know it, but Guan Ling knows it. Chinese science fiction movies are still in a state of loneliness after 2009.

There have been a lot of bad movies, including "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", a science fiction movie that is as bad as "Shanghai Fortress", if it can be classified as such.

It was not until 2019 that heavy industry science fiction movies like "The Wandering Earth" appeared, ushering in a new era of Chinese science fiction films.

Now, Guan Ling wants to promote Chinese science fiction movies in advance.

"I didn't get the script today. I'll send it to you later. Or you can follow me to the company to get it later."

Guan Ling said.

"I'll get it from you later, otherwise I won't be able to sleep today."

Han Sanpin pondered for a moment and said.

"Di Renjie's movie can be made by Tsui Hark. Compared with costume fantasy blockbusters, I hope you can make science fiction movies. China is so lacking in this type of movies.

I am really touched that you have such thoughts. If all these domestic directors are like you, Guan Ling, it will not be in vain for China Film to invest and support them. "

Han Sanpin said, "In this movie, China Film's investment does not need to account for a large share. Anyway, as long as it is not a particularly excessive scene, if there is anything that needs me to coordinate, I will come to the radio and television. If the radio and television cannot do it, I will go to the film director. In short, I, Han Rank three, I won’t let Guan Dao give you a chill.”

Han Sanpin's commitment is resounding.

Guan Ling wants to do it, he needs it. It was an instant hit.

He was even willing to let China Film invest, but not for a large share. This decision made Guan Ling look at him in surprise.

Han Sanpin is truly a character worthy of Chinese movies.

……

The two of them arrived at Lingyun Media.

Han Sanpin got Guan Ling's science fiction movie script "Source Code" in his hands.

These three words made Han Sanpin unable to bear to open the script.

Compared with "Snake Curse", this title has a science fiction feel at first glance.

"Don't worry, the script is in my hands and will not be leaked to anyone."

"I have already registered." Director Guan said with a smile, "Besides, I am absolutely at ease with Director Han."

As for the movie "Source Code", Guan Ling had actually wanted to make it before. The reason why he didn't choose it was because it was a low-budget science fiction film that had a high reputation but made little money. Guan Ling had already planned to make it into a movie. Chinese-language movies.

Because of this movie, every scene does not violate Chinese policies, and the character of the male protagonist can be changed, such as an anti-drug policeman or a special forces soldier.

Guan Ling estimates that most of the remaining scenes can be filmed.

Guan Ling suspected that he might have learned from the TV series "The Beginning" that he had watched in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Guan Ling felt it was necessary to film the TV series "The Beginning".

It can even be broadcast at the same time as "Source Code".

Thus creating the greatest publicity effect.

In the script for Han Sanpin, Guan Ling previously adjusted the male protagonist to a special policeman who dealt with drug dealers in Yunnan. Because he was maimed to death by an explosion, and he was alone, he took the initiative to give his body to the relevant departments for research. .

As a result, the original script was Chineseized and deconstructed, while retaining the original sense of suspense and science fiction, while trying to make the film closer to Chinese culture.

Han Sanpin left with a smile.

That heavy script, in his eyes at this moment, was like his life.

……

The beginning of the new year.

The box office of "Taken" is still rising.

The mainland box office on New Year's Day rebounded to 3600 million, almost the same as the first day's box office.

"The King of Kung Fu" continued to decline, with the box office dropping to 920 million.

The box office gap between the two movies, under the influence of public opinion, has completely formed a crushing situation.

Comments on Huayi on the Internet have changed from ridicule in the past two days to a bit distressed.

But netizens are not human beings. They feel sorry for Huayi while posting on the Internet, hahaha.

The news from the outside world is abuzz, and it can no longer affect Guan Ling's heart.

He only cares about how much box office "Kung Fu King" can win in the United States, but it will take a few days to see the first week box office.

That night, Liu Yifei did not come out to continue the crazy night with Guan Ling. She sent a text message saying that her mother had detained her at home. It seemed that everything would be frank and lenient.

On January 1, the North American box office of "Taken" was officially released for its first week.

The industry looked at that data and was dumbfounded.

"Taken" became the first-week box office champion in North America, taking in $3624 million in its first week.

“Reprinted from Hollywood Movie Daily:

Produced by Skyline and directed by Guan, "The Rescue" broke the first-week box office record for kidnapping-themed movies in North America. Before its release, this movie was generally considered by the audience to be an 'ordinary bad street action movie', and was somewhat ignored by the distribution company. However, after its release, it quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens with its fast pace and hearty plot, and broke the 1996 record. "Ransom," starring Mel Gibson, maintained its opening weekend box office with $3421 million.

Jackie Chan, following "2012", joined hands with Guan to once again create box office myths.

It is worth mentioning that the movie has received an eight-point rating from tens of thousands of people on IMDb, which shows that the movie has a high reputation.

At the same time, the final clip of the movie undoubtedly proves that there must be a sequel to the movie. "

For the film and television industry, this data is simply outrageous.

North American single-week box office champion.

Guan Ling is in the United States now. Did he just leave?

So awesome?

When Li Lianjie saw the relevant news, his head was a little buzzing.

During "The Mummy 3", their movie also won the single-week box office championship, and the box office was more than million US dollars.

But it was only awesome for two weeks.

And the rating is only more than five points.

But after all, that movie has the fans of the first two movies, and "Taken" is the first movie in the series, and its box office is already strong enough.

Li Lianjie was really worried.

"If "The King of Kung Fu" fails to beat "The Rescue", and then the industry compares me with Cheng Long, it will definitely be a step lower."

Thinking of this, Li Lianjie felt a little bitter in his mouth.

What I eat no longer tastes good.

The industry began to report a lot of relevant news in the afternoon, but by the evening, none of it was published.

Because there's more breaking news.

A certain rare earth has swept the front pages of major portals in the entertainment industry.

Caribbean island of St. Barts, private beach, paparazzi made great achievements.

Eighty-one beach shots.

A fiery red three-point swimsuit, with colorful nail polish on her toes.

The international movie star is liberated on the beach, with a sharp upper body and shirtless sunbathing.

Mandarin ducks play in the water and walk on the beach.

The sea breeze is soothing, and the caressing between men and women shows the open atmosphere.

Not afraid of the gazes of other vacationers, they touched and kissed, moved affectionately, behaved affectionately, and acted as if no one else was watching.

The two were secretly photographed in more than 80 intimate photos by out-of-town paparazzi without any notice.

After the photo was uploaded to the Internet, it was immediately clicked wildly by netizens, causing a massive traffic jam on the Internet.

The Internet exploded in an instant.
