China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 222: Participating in the closing ceremony, the Chinese entertainment industry is eagerly looking forward to it!

On May 5, after the screening of "Shoplifters" was conducted in Cannes, all the reporters and media accompanying it were already filled with high expectations.

The Cannes program gave a perfect score of 4, and "Shoplifters" scored a high score of 3.3.

Although it is not as good as the 3.4 score of "The Prophet", it is already the second highest score in Cannes this time.

The movie "Prophet" depicts an ignorant teenager who is transformed into a gang leader in prison. The subject matter is gray and the concept is vulgar.

Therefore, although the score was high, the audience was small, and the sensation it caused in Cannes was far less than that of "Shoplifters."

In Cannes, the voices of Guan Ling and "Shoplifters" can no longer be suppressed.

Mainly based on Sina Entertainment, he will update the on-site manuscripts and scenes to the portal website at any time, so the popularity of "Shoplifters" quickly ignited the entire domestic entertainment industry!

"After Ma Mingliang, Guan Ling continues to play movie roles, and his ambiguous scenes with Liu Yifei are upgraded. Golden Boy. Let's wait and see whether the scenes in the movie will be extended to the outside of the movie?!"

“‘Shoplifters’ has set off Cannes in terms of reputation and popularity, and has received positive reviews from countless filmmakers and professional media!”

"The program score is 3.3, and it was selected into the competition for the first time. "Shoplifters" was highly praised by the jury. Director Guan Ling swept the whole of Europe with his power!"

"Ip Man" was also a hit.

Whether at home or abroad.

After seeing the box office of "Ip Man", Liu Yifei was truly happy for Guan Ling.

Except for that disgusting guy Luc Chuan, Guan Yuan, both online and offline, are trying to win glory for the country!

But this year, it was disturbed by Guan Ling.

Then after the decline, the single-day box office reached around 1500 million.

……

This box office is already awesome.

The more popular "Shoplifters" becomes, the more reluctant she becomes.

Since the New Year, there hasn’t been a month without explosions!

But before May, two movies produced by Guan Ling set off the film industry.

Two hundred million is easy.

"You invaded our country and killed our people. Take back your hypocrisy."

Even 300 million may be within reach.

Guan Ling sighed, the box office is linked to the quality of the movie, not the awards.

Mainland directors, actors, and fans of Guan Ling are all excited!

"No, can you really win the grand prize?"

Guan Ling has never reached the top three in Europe before. Although he has revealed this intention before, the audience has expectations. Who dares to say that he can really win?

Do you mean you can get the award as soon as you get it?

How many times have Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai competed for Oscars?

There were waves, but they didn’t even hit the water!

The show score is high and my confidence is now there.

Most of the directors in the industry were confused, "Guan Ling, this guy doesn't have martial ethics! How can he make a movie so popular?!"

"Wing Chun, Ip Man...I want to fight ten!"

"Ip Man" had a box office of 1800 million on its first day and a box office of 5900 million in the three days of its first weekend.

But with the premiere of "Shoplifters" in Cannes, Guan Ling once again stood in the most popular position, and together with the box office of "Ip Man", there was a continuous decline.

It was like dropping a depth charge!

The Chinese entertainment industry is in a state of excitement!

""Ip Man" is really good to watch. After watching "Nanjing Nanjing" and watching "Ip Man", I can only say that what Director Guan said in the interview is not false. "Ip Man" is so exciting People are going crazy!”

"I am looking forward to the award ceremony more and more. No, I want to support Guan Ling's new movie, and I want to watch "Ip Man"."

But it is undeniable that the name Guan Ling has completely become the focus of the entertainment industry.

Even Brother Chen Kai was shocked by the momentum and didn't know what to do.

For a moment, Lu Chuan was ridiculed.

"I'm just a Chinese!"

"Now the only thing left is the prize."

Liu Yifei and Guan Ling were in Guan Ling's room together, constantly reading news reports from China.

"Just wait for the results. There's not much you can do about this situation."

But I heard that the judges of the three major film festivals like to go against the program. I wonder if this is true?

More people are worried about Guan Ling.

"You're not wrong. When you can't bear it anymore, don't bear it anymore!"

"Now the domestic box office is very good, and the reputation of local films in Cannes is also very high. I just hope that Huppert can handle it impartially. As the chairman of the jury, Huppert's opinion is still very important."

The industry was dumbfounded!

"This gun belongs to others, and the fist belongs to you. The head of the gun can be pointed at others, but the fist should not hit your own people."

Especially those lines, combined with Guan Ling killing everyone in Cannes, instantly became the motto of many movie fans.

The audience is so happy!

"Ip Man is attacking the Japanese in the movie, and Guan Ling is proud of the Chinese people at Cannes. This May, it's so exciting!"

In the past, the Chinese entertainment industry has always been tepid before the summer season.

After Liu Yifei heard Shuqi say that there was a nepotistic relationship between the jury chairman and Michael, she must have felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Originally he was very confident.

But now, Guan Ling is also a little weak.

But after thinking about it again, no one can win the Palme d'Or for the first time in Cannes. If you really can't win it, then go back and try again in Cannes!

But Guan Ling is not worried about leaving this movie empty-handed.

If this is really done, the controversy will not only explode in China, but also around the world.

Something will go wrong.

The fairness and credibility of Cannes will inevitably be questioned by most people.

"Anyway, after listening to Shuqi's words, I felt unhappy all of a sudden. Although "Ip Man" has such a high box office, I still haven't been able to eat well or sleep well these days."

"Don't worry so much. Domestic news will explode in a few days. Over in North America, "The Twilight Saga" has also been released, but the box office for the first week has not been released yet, but Guyot told me to go watch it. There are a lot of people watching it, and the reputation is pretty good.”

Guan Ling's busy feet never touch the ground, but the release of "Twilight" deserves Guan Ling's attention.

Because it's about negotiating a partnership with Lionsgate.

……

The copyright of "Shoplifters" has been targeted by many publishers.

Many people came to make appointments with Guan Ling and China Film, hoping to get a copyright contract.

But Guan Ling declined them all.

Han Sanpin learned the news and started chatting with Guan Ling.

"I said to Director Guan, this price is enough. If we can't win the Palme d'Or or the Jury Prize, the price shouldn't be higher than this."

There are about seven issuers, and the buyout issuance fees alone amount to about 70 million yuan.

Han Sanpin actually wanted to persuade him.

But Guan Ling was very determined.

"If we sell it now, it seems we can make a little profit, but once we really win the big prize, we will regret it to death. What do you think, Director Han?"

Han Sanpin thought for a while and felt that Guan Ling was right.

Since you have already made money, there is definitely no need to sell it now. Even if you make less money in the end, it will be better than selling it at a low price despite having a cornucopia of money.

In the following time, "Shoplifters" took a vacation, and the crew went out to play for a few days.

Guan Ling and Liu Yifei went together. Unfortunately, even in Cannes, there were still many people chasing them.

As a last resort, the two of them could only huddle in the hotel.

After an earth-shattering battle, Liu Yifei played with Guan Ling's fingers. "Director Guan Da, do you think I'm not good enough to win awards yet?"

During this period of time, Liu Yifei watched a lot of movies. This was the rare time that she had so much time to focus on watching movies.

Liu Yifei did see her shortcomings.

At least in terms of acting skills, she is almost three fans behind Zhou Xun.

This is compared to colleagues from Lingyun Media.

Guan Ling looked at Liu Yifei and was silent for a moment. Liu Yifei understood what Guan Ling meant in an instant.

"Hey, you're definitely not sure, and you don't even refute it. It's really embarrassing for me!"

Liu Yifei was so angry that Guan Ling wiped it a little.

She was so angry that her chest trembled.

"Get your stinky hands off."

Liu Yifei took Guan Ling's hand away, sat up, and looked at Guan Ling angrily.

But he wasn't angry at Guan Ling, and I didn't know if he was angry at himself.

"I have to transform and hone my acting skills. I want to follow Zhou Xun and be respected by everyone."

The little girl was indeed a little envious.

Guan Ling patted Liu Yifei on the shoulder, "Some can cultivate acting skills, and some cannot. In fact, you don't have to force yourself. If it doesn't work, you can become a director or a producer."

Liu Yifei really thought about it there.

Very serious.

“Can I really be a director?”

"There's nothing you can't do. If you like acting, then take over the comedy you like and let you act in it. If you don't want to join the group at some point, just make one yourself. Don't forget who is the director Guan Da?"

The old god Guan Ling is here.

"That's right, your director skills are so high. If you give me output points, I will learn."

She suddenly turned over and said to Guan Ling.

"You've been messing with me every day for so many days in Cannes. Can you come up with something useful? Really

Can you export some knowledge?

Instead of always outputting so that I can learn new postures, okay? "

Guan Ling:…….

"Knowledge can be learned, but posture cannot be lost."

Guan Ling sat upright and said affirmatively.

……

Time flies and May 5th has arrived.

During this period, Tsai Ming-liang's "Face" premiered, but the narrative slowly fell apart. By the end of the screening, some viewers began to leave the show because they couldn't bear it. However, even if some viewers left, But many fans who stayed still expressed positive comments about the film.

Tsai Ming-liang couldn't help but shed tears on the spot.

During the Film Cornerstone Awards, female director Song Fang from Beijing Film Academy won the second prize in the short film category.

This is her graduation work, which tells the story of a family and a girl's hidden pain and new life.

After winning the award, she even took a photo with Guan Ling.

With the upcoming film closing ceremony and awards ceremony approaching.

Cannes Film Festival has gone crazy.

Directors, actors, reporters and media at home and abroad, fans, everyone is eagerly waiting for it.

But it’s not just the Cannes Film Festival that’s crazy, it’s also the North American film market.

Especially Lionsgate.

Frank already knew that "The Twilight Saga" written by Guan Ling and produced by Motian Lingyun had been released, and he also knew that today was the day of the first weekend box office release.

Although according to speculation, it opened well at the box office.

But before the results came out, Frank still dared not draw any conclusions.

When the data came out, Frank's head hurt when he saw the box office of this movie adapted from the novel.

Stephen knocked on the door and came in.

"Frank, have you seen the box office numbers?"

Stephen's face looked ugly.

Frank's face didn't look much better.

The number on his hand really made Frank feel bad.

"Guan is a talented director and a talented screenwriter." Frank said word by word,

"I even think he is more of a banker than me. Look at the days he chooses. "Twilight" is released. If Cannes wins the award, wouldn't we always be at a disadvantage in our negotiations?"

Frank felt really uncomfortable in his heart.

The day before the Cannes Awards Ceremony was about to be announced, a new news quietly appeared on domestic portals.

"Motian Lingyun's new film, "The Twilight Saga", showed its dominance at the box office during its first weekend. It was released in 3419 theaters across the United States, with a total box office of US$1.2 million in five days!"

""Twilight" breaks the record as the best vampire-themed movie in North America. It is a low-budget romance film written by Guan Ling. The total box office in five days has exceeded 100 million!"

"France and the United States shocked the world. Why did Guan Ling win so many battles?"

"Shocking! The cost of "Twilight" was only over 30 million US dollars, and so far, the first weekend box office has more than doubled the cost!"

The news spread back to China and instantly spread on all news websites along with the Cannes Awards ceremony.

The entire industry is dumbfounded!

Is "Ip Man" not enough? Cannes not enough? And a Hollywood romance movie? And the box office exceeded 100 million in the first weekend? Dollar!

Beast!

Regardless of whether they admired Guan Ling or despised Guan Ling, they were all confused now!

At this moment, Guan Ling received a call from the organizer.

"Guan, congratulations. The organizing committee will invite you to participate in the awards red carpet tomorrow night. Please be sure to attend."

"Ok."

Guan Ling nodded, he was not surprised by this result.

But it is worth mentioning that

Competition film directors Lou Ye and Park Chan-wook, who had already left Cannes, also began to make a special trip back to the main venue of the film festival.

Originally, as a young crew of "The Night with the Spring Breeze", I was very satisfied with this shortlist, and the director gave the opportunity to observe to the actors.

However, director Lou Ye was notified at short notice by the organizing committee to walk the awards red carpet tonight.

Judging from this indication, Lou Ye is likely to win an award at this Cannes Film Festival.

According to other news, Korean director Park Chan-wook also flew back to France and will appear at the awards ceremony. Whether he will win the award is still speculated.

Reporters from the Chinese media quickly picked up on the news.

The news spread back to China and instantly aroused the eager anticipation of the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

"'Shoplifters' and 'Spring Breeze'? Do they both have dramas?"

So exciting!

All the eyes of China were focused on Cannes in an instant!

As for Guan Ling, the North American box office exceeded 100 million US dollars? The industry quickly reached a consensus,

——Forget it, everyone doesn’t want to talk to this guy who is not at the same level at all.
