China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 209 The Luchuan people are stupid! Why do you feel so predictable? !

Within ten minutes after Guan Ling accepted an interview with the media and commented on the yet-to-be-released "Nanjing Nanjing".

The entire Chinese entertainment circle reprinted Guan Ling's comments, and it instantly became the headlines of major forums.

"Guan Ling commented on anti-Japanese films and believed that "The Japanese Are Coming" is the best among Chinese anti-Japanese films."

"Happy New Year to my brothers and sisters-in-law, let me count down the classic moments in "The Devil Is Coming"! Looking back at the classic high-scoring Douban movie by Golden Lion Award winner Jiang Wen!"

"Guan Ling claimed that he would not attend the premiere of Luchuan's new movie!"

"Director Guan affirms Director Jiang Wen's original interview clip. In the face of evil people, we cannot repay kindness for no reason!"

These news swept the entire Internet instantly.

The industry was quite surprised that Guan Ling accepted this interview, and most people didn't notice the problem.

At this time, everyone in the industry except Jiang Yiyan was actually quite happy.

Everyone thought that Director Guan was trying to heat up the new movie of Lu Chuan, a director from the same school. After all, one interview was too much heat given Guan Ling's current traffic.

Even Lu Chuan was in a daze for a while.

"When did my relationship with Director Guan become so good?"

As a director, he knows best what he is shooting.

But either because of his own blindness or because of his subtle cultural traitor phenomenon, he didn't know exactly what he was photographing.

He only knew that in order to affirm the artistic value and human brilliance of this film, he searched hard and found a masterstroke from the vast amount of original information.

Or maybe I made up a trick myself.

Because from the only remaining information, this master does not exist at all.

That was behind those brutal massacres.

There was a Soldier of the Rising Sun who felt regretful and ashamed about this incident, and he was regarded as the villain protagonist. He didn't have many scenes, but he was full of humanity.

Then he shot this movie, which in his eyes can be called "the progress of Chinese movies".

In Lu Chuan's view, Guan Ling's words were neither painful nor unpleasant. They only increased the popularity of his movie and actually had no counter-effect.

In his opinion, what Guan Ling said distorted historical facts, whitewashed the relevant people, let alone convey that period of history from the perspective that others want to see, otherwise it would make me very disappointed.

It doesn’t fit in with his new movie at all!

On a spiritual level, he did not think that he had whitewashed the relevant people, he only emphasized them.

Therefore, what Guan Ling said definitely did not include his own film.

This movie is also a profound disclosure of the suffering of that era, and it is the most wordless narrative from my cold perspective.

This is a good movie!

So he was indeed happy.

……

When Lu Chuan got the news, he was communicating with Feng Xincheng, the executive editor of "New Weekly", and the two of them continued to work hard on promoting their movies.

Guan Ling's conversation inevitably came up between the two of them.

"Hello Director Lu, Director Guan talked about his views on anti-Japanese films during the interview. Do you think your film can be comparable to "The Japanese Are Coming"?"

Lu Chuan took the microphone and said with a smile,

"I dare not say that this movie can be compared with Director Jiang's "The Devil Is Coming," after all, that movie is a black humor comedy.

My films focus more on the record of suffering, and I also hope to take advantage of this opportunity of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China to contribute to Chinese films.

As for my other purpose, of course I hope that this film can be released overseas, in Japan, and around the world. I will also take this film to participate in more international film festivals in the future.

Director Guan's reminder is very good, but I can assure the audience that my movie will be a good one.

It is a movie that can make people reflect deeply.

Before I shot this movie, I told myself that I wanted to make a movie that could reproduce the Chinese people's will to resist, a movie that was more than just a cry.

I think, I did it. "

The staff at the scene couldn't help but applaud and praise after hearing this.

During the interview, Lu Chuan unabashedly expressed his ambition, because he even hopes that this movie can be released in the island country in the future!

"Thank you, Director Lu, for sharing this movie. I would like to know what your box office expectations are for this movie? Please give me a specific number. It is too difficult to control the box office of the director's movies."

The interviewer laughed, and Lucuan laughed too.

Everyone knows that the only person who can break Guan Ling's box office record now may be Zhang Yimou, or it may be this movie directed by Han Sanpin himself, or it may be the various blockbusters that Hollywood will introduce soon.

For example, it is rumored that "Transformers 2" will be introduced to China in June, or "Ice Age 3" will be released in July. These movies are the opponents that can compete with Guan Ling.

I just don’t know if these movies can break the collaboration between Director Guan and Director Nolan?

It is said that the filming of this drama will start soon.

Rumors in the industry are going viral. Because "Shoplifters" has wrapped production, Director Guan's next film assignment is apparently this.

"When I was interviewed last time, I was obviously joking when I said I wanted to achieve the box office results of Director Guan's movies."

Lu Chuan was not embarrassed, but he was still a little proud.

"I have an answer in my heart, 1.5 million yuan. I have talked about this result with investors, distributors and actors before. We even made a joke at the time. If we reach this box office, then I will Go streaking.”

These words made the interview room laugh out loud, and the interview editor also flattered him.

"Then I really look forward to Director Lu running away naked!"

During the interview, we also talked about the filming process, the casting process and various behind-the-scenes moments from the filming scene.

It can be regarded as a promotion and preview before the movie is released.

It just happened to catch up with Guan Ling's popularity, and in Lu Chuan's opinion, it happened to be a good movie to build momentum.

They also talked about Guan Ling saying that he might not necessarily cooperate with Jiang Yiyan in the future, but Lu Chuan was not offended by both sides.

"I don't know the specifics of this. Maybe I can interview the actors or the director himself later."

He didn't mind Jiang Yiyan being the scapegoat.

Because Jiang Yiyan and Guan Ling are becoming more and more popular, his movie will also become more and more popular.

And he is good with Qin Lan, not Jiang Yiyan.

No matter what she does.

……

Not long after the interview, Jiang Wen called Guan Ling.

"Did you have something to say in your previous interview?"

"How do you say it?" Guan Ling smiled half-heartedly.

"Have you read Luc Chuan's movie script?" Jiang Wen asked.

"What, how could I have read his movie script?" Guan Ling said speechlessly.

The two chatted for a while.

After talking about Guan Ling's editing work on the new Cannes film, we hung up the phone.

Inside Jiang Wen's house.

Zhou Yun is looking after the baby. The baby is babbling. Now he can speak smoothly and can walk, but he wants to be held every day.

"What's wrong? What did Director Guan say?" Zhou Yun asked.

"I always felt that something was not right. Luc Chuan's film asked me some questions, so I roughly knew what he wanted to shoot. But the words Director Guan said in the interview always felt like they were different from those in Luc Chuan's film. Content conflict, encountered.”

"Isn't it possible? If we really meet each other, would Lu Chuan know?!"

"That's the problem! I discussed my idea with him at the beginning, but I couldn't convince him!" Jiang Wen rubbed his head.

Be puzzled.

"Is it possible that Lu Chuan's new movie can really be classified into the type of movies that Director Guan said he was disappointed with?" Zhou Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, filled with the joy of eating melon.

If so, that would be fun!

"That shouldn't be the case. I don't know everything. It's just that there may be fragments that are similar."

Jiang Wen didn't bother to think about it anymore. This matter had nothing to do with him.

If you really have any problem, feel free.

Movies are made not just for people to watch them.

... Zhu Yawen and Liu Yifei naturally saw the news.

Zhu Yawen smiled knowingly. Guan Ling was indeed quite tough. It was a pity that Jiang Yiyan, a classmate, was the one.

However, when he was in school, Guan Ling only knew a few boys and they were not very talkative. There were really not many girls in the class who had contact with him.

Really unfamiliar.

What's more, with the current relationship between Liu Yifei and Guan Ling, Guanzi didn't directly say anything to block it, which was enough to give face to his classmates.

At Liu Yifei's house, Shu Chang came to her house very excitedly.

"I said, Feifei, Director Guan Da is so cool. This is a direct showdown with Jiang Yiyan! There may have been opportunities for cooperation in the past, but there will not be any in the future. Once these words come out, who in the circle dares to talk about you anymore? !”

Liu Yifei was lying lazily on her sofa. It was quite hot in the room, so she exposed her long white legs.

Listening to Shu Shang's words, the big toes on her little feet were a little nervous and moved when they heard the wind.

It's sweet in my heart.

Still denying it.

Even to Shu Shang, she didn't say anything about being with Guan Ling now.

"Maybe Director Guan just doesn't like others spreading rumors. Didn't he say that? He likes playing games and doesn't like reading. Maybe it's because Jiang Yiyan created a character for him?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Shu Shang's eyes widened and she stretched out her fist towards Liu Yifei.

"Is there something you're hiding from me? Come and tell me!"

Then, cheerful laughter came from inside the room.

"Stop scratching, stop scratching...I really have nothing to hide from you."

"You must have."

"No, no, I'll tell you."

As soon as Liu Yifei was tickled, she couldn't stop laughing.

Liu Yifei said while waiting for Shu Chang's big eyes to stare at her.

"Guan Ling told me to dress up and attend the premiere of "Xiu Chun Dao"."

"That's it?" Shu Shang looked puzzled.

"That's it."

"Okay, get me an invitation and I'll go too. Forget it, I don't want the invitation. I'll follow you in."

……

After that, Guan Ling did not take the initiative to contact Liu Yifei, but was completely immersed in the work atmosphere.

Become a scissor hand and edit all shots and materials.

Since there are many groups of shots taken, and some of them are very good, but the highlights of different groups are different, Guan Ling also needs to compare the effects, so there is no room for sloppiness in the work.

"Director Guan, there is a premiere tomorrow, you must remember it."

On March 13th, Lu Yang came to greet Guan Ling and asked Director Guan to prepare to attend the premiere of "Xiu Chun Knife" tomorrow.

As a screenwriter and producer, and also Lu Yang's boss, Guan Ling's attendance is inevitable.

The promotion of "Xiu Chun Dao" has been in full swing recently.

As the No. 1 domestic film seed in March, this film has high hopes from the film bureau.

You know, the Film Bureau and China Film Group have a stipulation that 50% of the total box office every year must be won by domestic films.

This is also a mandatory requirement this year.

The main reason is that Guan Ling's two Hollywood movies last year raised the box office so high that it is difficult to follow domestic movies.

In the same period as "Xiu Chun Knife", there are also "War on Aliens", "Slumdog Millionaire", "Dragon Ball" and "Yuan Longping", and there are more than a dozen other movies here and there, just like No need to talk.

The one facing off is "Dragon Ball" which will be released tomorrow.

But to be honest, Lingyun Media is not that worried about this movie now.

Zhang Zhen, the actor in "The Spring Knife", is a big name. He won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor in his debut and was in the main competition at Cannes. He also went there in 2007.

"Red Cliff", which was just released a month ago, has grossed close to 500 million in box office for the two films combined.

Mainly because of Guan Ling's endorsement, the industry regarded this movie as Guan Ling's movie. As for the actor, it actually doesn't matter anymore.

So much so that those who came to the premiere must be there for Guan Ling's face.

Lu Yang is just a newcomer, so he doesn't have much respect.

Lu Yang knew this well, so he must have shouted it in person.

For the premiere of Lingyun Media's movie, almost everyone who received the invitation came, even if it was for a newcomer.

This can also show Guan Ling's status.

The premiere was grand, the venue was star-studded, and the red carpet was spread all over the floor.

There were too many media at the scene.

From portal websites, official media, gossip, and even paparazzi.

There are countless.

Most of the artists from Lingyun Media came. Liu Yifei was dressed very exquisitely and caught everyone's attention when she appeared on the stage.

After a while, Jiang Wen, Lucuan and others all arrived.

Lu Chuan was specially invited by Guan Ling, which flattered Lu Chuan. Guan Ling specially dragged Luc Chuan to the interview, and there was no limit on the media's questions.

"By the way, director Lu Chuan also mentioned before that the film content of "Nanjing Nanjing" is the same as "Xiu Chun Knife". It is the development history of small people. I am very interested. I hope that the film directed by Lu Chuan can give me a surprise."

Guan Ling took the initiative to mention "Nanjing Nanjing",

This made Lu Chuan very happy.

In Lu Chuan's eyes, this was Guan Ling's best advertising opportunity for him.

Although it was the premiere of "Xiu Chun Knife", he still faced the camera and expressed his gratitude, and also praised his movie.

But Guan Ling obviously hasn't finished speaking yet.

When introducing the creative story on the stage, Guan Ling first talked about the background of the story of "Xiu Chun Knife", the reality of the little people, and how everything will return after the dust settles, which is a cycle of cause and effect.

Then, Guan Ling took the initiative to talk about the fact that "Nanjing Nanjing" mentioned by Lu Chuan is also a small person.

He also said that he would ask Lucuan a few questions.

In front of so many media, Lu Chuan was extremely excited. Director Guan was so interesting!

"Guan Dao can speak freely!"

Lu Chuan said proudly that he almost wanted to make the premiere of "Xiu Chun Knife" his home stadium.

So Guan Ling really asked.

"Director Lu, you said that your movie is a story about a small person. I would like to ask if the small person in your movie takes the initiative to resist, does it show the invading army's brutal massacre methods, and does it show the three-guang policy and burning, killing and looting? Are there any close-ups of the struggles and resistance of the little people for Chinese soldiers, and are there any close-ups of the little people’s hatred for the traitors?”

Guan Ling asked with a smile,

"The historical background of the protagonist in "Xiuchundao" is also very tragic. But it is definitely not as good as Director Lu's time, so I really admire Director Lu.

Being able to show the little characters in that story.

I think my level may not be able to handle such a high level right now.

So I really hope that I can hear Director Lu give me some spoilers here. "

But at this moment, Lu Chuan was confused.

Every question Guan Ling asked hit his heart hard.

He looked at Guan Ling in horror.

These are not shown in his movies.

And why did he feel that everything had been predicted by Guan Ling? !

Lu Chuan was completely stunned and couldn't say a word.
