China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 228 Fixed angle! How about taking you to the three major universities or the Oscars to win a cup? !

On June 6, You Sihan, who was working at CCTV Movie Channel, suddenly received a call.

"Hello, I'm Guan Ling."

When Guan Ling's call came to You Sihan's mobile phone, You Sihan's hands trembled slightly.

Of course she knew who Guan Ling was.

And it’s very clear!

As a writer behind the movie channel, she has been working on the children's drama "The New Farmer and the Snake".

At the same time, he is also writing a short drama "Aftershock" for the psychological reconstruction of the Wenchuan Earthquake, which was invited to be presented at the National Center for the Performing Arts.

She has an organization, but in the entertainment industry, her organization status cannot give her too many bonuses.

And precisely because of her compilation status, she knew very well how unexpected Guan Ling was to her.

This is obviously not a level exchange!

If it weren't for her father, perhaps she would have never found such a person in the entertainment industry.

But because he has been preparing to become a monk, he has been observing the rules and regulations in the past few months and has not left any contact channels for the outside world to contact him.

Guan Ling is incompetent.

First of all, Guan Ling could not contact her father himself.

As for Tu Jingwei, perhaps he still needs to be careful about what he says in front of Director Guan.

In terms of natural treatment and other aspects, she is worse than Tu Jingwei and others in front of the stage.

"Yes, of course I do!

Just at the beginning of this year, he had just sold his only house because he fell in love with a drama script about Li Shutong and because he had longed for Master Hongyi.

This is someone who can joke and talk with Director Han.

Because my original profession is mime, I decided to pass on and carry forward this profession.

At the age of 73, the unwilling You Benchang filmed the pantomime "Liaofan" again.

You Sihan nodded like crazy on the other end of the phone, wishing she could immediately become her father and accept the request in person.

After You Sihan hung up the phone, she took a leave of absence and went home to find her father in person.

As a result, this is a niche art with no market, so no one is willing to invest in it.

You Benchang had no choice but to film a long pantomime "Mr. You Smiles Dumbly" at his own expense.

The moment You Sihan received the call, she was indistinguishable from being down.

"Hello, Director Guan!"

He was not busy making money, but wanted to make some contribution to art.

When You Benchang heard the call from Guan Ling himself at the house his father rented, he almost burst into tears for a moment.

For many years after that, I accompanied her everywhere to see doctors.

After experiencing this life catastrophe, You Benchang began to think about the artistic value of drama.

"Is this Guan Ling the one who won the Palme d'Or?"

At CCTV, you are not a host on stage, so the pressure you need to bear is naturally not very great.

The whole family knows You Benchang's attitude very well.

But I need to contact my father first. I'll call you back later, okay? Guan Dao. "

And the reason why she couldn't contact her father was not because he was playing a big role.

After "Jigong" and "Jigong Living Buddha", You Benchang became very popular.

Then his wife was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, and You Benchang chose to accompany and take care of his wife without hesitation.

The reason why Guan Ling contacted You Sihan on the phone was naturally because of her father.

These two points forced Guan Ling's call to go to her mobile phone.

"Correct."

As a result, it couldn't be sold and I lost a lot of money.

She and her daughter both knew that if You Benchang didn't want this role, others wouldn't be able to persuade him.

As a result, there is still no market, and we can still only lose money.

"Then do you want this role? Don't you want to become a monk?" Yang Huihua looked at You Benchang and asked with some confusion.

His wife Yang Huihua is by his side.

After all this trouble, You Benchang's life savings were almost lost.

Finally, my wife gained health.

Secondly, You Sihan is her father’s agent.

"I have a role in a play here that may require your father to play. This is a small supporting role, but the movie will be released simultaneously around the world. Do you want to ask your father if he is willing to give it a try?"

You Sihan and You Benchang said in unison.

So he really wanted to discover the wonderful story of Master Hongyi’s last five years.

And I hope to go all out to create this drama.

And in order to purify his six senses, he had even decided to become a monk again.

When he was young, he spent ten years as a monk and became a secular monk when he was 15 years old.

But now, he wanted to experience it, because when he was young, he entered the temple in a daze and said goodbye in a hurry, and he always felt regretful about this in the changing times.

Therefore, through the fate of Master Hongyi, I became a monk and became a monk for a short period of time.

But I didn't expect that it would be right at the moment of this plan.

Guan Ling's news disrupted almost all his plans.

If the name was not Guan Ling, perhaps You Benchang would refuse without hesitation.

But this is Guan Ling after all, Guan Ling who just won the Palme d'Or.

How could You Benchang not be moved?

……

When the other party hasn't called back yet.

Guan Ling was also thinking about why he thought of You Benchang.

At that time, Wu Ershan's "Sword Laughter" script came to Guan Ling's attention. In order to keep Wu Ershan, Lingyun Media invested in this script.

And one of the characters, Wu Ershan’s favorite actor, is You Benchang!

When choosing the role of the energy tycoon played by Ken Watanabe, the first person Guan Ling thought was suitable was Wang Xueqi, followed by Wang Zhiwen. In fact, You Benchang could only be regarded as the third.

Originally, Li Xuejian was also one of Guan Ling's considerations.

After all, he is still a fellow from Lu Province.

But his appearance is really not fierce enough. Perhaps because of his small eyes, Guan Ling feels that the character does not match the character.

Moreover, Guan Ling also has a second literary film that he wants to prepare.

When he won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, Guan Ling said in his acceptance speech on stage that he would consider standing up to win the award.

These words come from the heart.

At that time, two movies appeared in Guan Ling's mind, one was "Parasite", but Guan Ling had already registered the script of this movie.

But in Guan Ling's view, every time stage has its own story. The movie "Parasite" can probably only be filmed in Hong Kong now, but Guan Ling has never investigated the situation in Hong Kong. So there was some hesitation.

The second part, like "Shoplifters", is about family love. Guan Ling thinks this movie is in the same vein. And the shooting cycle won’t be very long.

When I was thinking about this movie, You Benchang, who I had seen in "Sword Laughter", instantly appeared in Guan Ling's vision.

Of course, the first impression of You Benchang in Guan Ling's mind was Jigong.

The second is the eye scene in "The Adventures of Li Xianji", which he collaborated with Guo Fan in his previous life. This movie can be called the dark history before Guo Fan's debut. It was precisely because of the acting skills of You Benchang that it became completely popular.

I have to admit that You Benchang is the face of the drama.

And "Ji Gong" does somewhat limit his acting options.

After all, he comes from a mime background, so even though he has no lines, his acting skills are still superb!

Whether it is Lenin who was successfully played in "The Bells of the Kremlin" on the drama stage, or Taibai Jinxing played in the mythical love TV series "Nine-tailed Fox and the Crane", or in "The Lotus Lantern" with Jiao Enjun Taishang Laojun, let's talk about Lao Li Xianji in the romance film "The Adventures of Li Xianji", every character is a character that has been carefully created.

Moreover, these characters have left behind classic scenes. His acting skills are almost unparalleled. His performance of "half of the face is crying, half of the face is smiling; half of the face is drunk, and the other half is awake" is simply breathtaking and he is regarded as a "national treasure performing artist".

The reason why the uncle played by You Benchang in "Flowers" in his previous life can stay in the discussion is by no means a temporary achievement, but due to the reputation accumulated over many years of acting.

He was able to make Jigong a classic in all versions and conquer countless Chinese audiences.

It is closely related to his acting skills.

But it is such a person who has been unknown for more than 30 years since his debut. Finally, "Ji Gong" became popular and he is already over 50 years old.

After the ups and downs of life, he resolutely returned to his family. The other party's sense of responsibility was also embarrassing.

And now he is 76 years old,

Guan Ling remembered that in his previous life, You Benchang once again became popular because of the TV series "Flowers" at the age of ninety, but his age has limited his development.

I have to say that this is a pity for China Entertainment Film Industry, and even more a pity for the world film industry.

Such an actor who works hard in China and pursues art is not famous in the world.

So Guan Ling felt that he could choose You Benchang to film a movie.

Moreover, the second literary film Guan Ling wants to make requires very high acting skills from the male protagonist, and You Benchang, who plays the leading role in the pantomime, can definitely do a good job!

Although he is old!

But his age happens to be Guan Ling’s advantage for this second literary film!

Moreover, he is physically strong, he has the ability, and he deserves to create a more classic role for himself, China Entertainment Film Industry, and the world film industry than "Ji Gong"!

What TV series can’t do, movies can do!

What others can't do, Guan Ling can do it!

This is the significance of Guan Ling choosing him, and "Inception" can be the foreshadowing for his next movie, and can let movie fans around the world know that there is such a hard-working actor in China!

In his previous life, Guan Ling did not have this ability.

Now, Guan Ling can not only promote many good Chinese-language films to the world, but also allow many good Chinese-language filmmakers to show their acting skills in front of global fans.

This is one of Guan Ling's goals!

Guan Ling has always kept his goal in mind.

He always talks from the heart and from the bottom up!

One is to strive for the development of Chinese-language films throughout his life.

The second is to fight for the female star of Chinese Entertainment for a lifetime.

Guan Ling must grasp these two points with both hands, and both hands must be hard!

Liu Yifei is a box office star, Zhou Xun is an actress star, Zhu Yawen is now a familiar star, and You Benchang and Guan Ling are confident that they can win the best actor award for China again!

……

When You Benchang's call came back.

as predicted.

The other party was very grateful to Guan Ling for the audition invitation.

When he learned that this was a box office movie with an investment of 200 million U.S. dollars, You Benchang was not very surprised. When he learned that Guan Ling required that all communication during the filming of this movie be in English, You Benchang was relatively calm.

But when I knew that Guan Ling was confident that the movie would gain global reputation and achieve double success at the box office.

You Benchang was slightly moved.

When Guan Ling said that You Benchang's role in this movie was equivalent to a villain, You Benchang's eyes lit up.

In order to avoid being imprisoned in Jigong's shadow, You Benchang is willing to play any other role!

When Guan Ling, the Palme d'Or director's name and the double buff of a villain, was placed in front of You Benchang, he was completely impressed!

"Director Guan, I am willing to accept your invitation."

You Benchang firmly agreed.

On the other end of the phone, Guan Ling continued.

"Mr. You, I believe this will be the best decision you make in your life.

This movie is just an opportunity for you to appear in front of fans around the world, and for my next movie, I need you to be completely integrated into it.

Because the protagonist of that movie was specially prepared for you.

I believe that if you can interpret him well, whether it is Cannes or Oscar, I will take you there.

Mr. You, are you listening? "

"I am here……"

"When I was young, your Jigong has become a classic in the minds of people across the country.

And I think that being Jigong may not be enough for Chinese audiences to remember you, because many young people no longer like to watch this TV series.

but that's okay,

I'll help you do it.

Your character and acting skills are a model for the entertainment industry, not just for the Chinese entertainment industry, but also for the global entertainment industry.

So, let me take you there.

Of course, these words may not be that important to you.

Then let me express it differently.

Whether it is the top three in Europe or the Oscar for best foreign language film. How about I take you back with a cup?

Are you interested? "

Quiet.

There was silence on both ends of the phone.

"Director Guan, where are you now? Can I take my father to you for an interview?"

Before You Benchang could speak, You Sihan's voice came out.

"I 100% believe what you said, Director Guan, and I also 100% believe that you have the ability to do it, Director Guan, but my father is already seventy-six years old. I thought of you, Director Guan, and discussed with you personally to finalize the decision. Can I sign this contract?"

"Of course!"

Guan Ling sent her the address.

The call is completely over.

……

BJ City.

In a rental house.

The family of three, You Sihan, You Benchang and Yang Huihua, looked at each other in shock.

"I'm going to ask for leave. Director Guan is in the United States. This time I go to the United States with my father, and I will go with him personally." You Sihan looked at the two elders, thought for a while and said.

"Then what do you think about your father becoming a monk?"

"Why should I become a monk at this time? I can rehearse and act in Master Hongyi's plays. But if I miss the opportunity of Director Guan's film, I will never have the chance again."

You Sihan's voice had a trembling tone when he spoke.

"Did you hear what Director Guan said just now? It's one of the top three films in Europe, and it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Director Guan wants to give it a try."

"If there is really one person in China who can do it, it must be him."

"And my dad may be the only one."

When he said this, You Sihan was trembling all over!

You Benchang looked at his daughter and his wife.

"I know what you mean, I'm not confused yet. Being able to play Jigong before was a kind of fate, a blessing, and even more enlightenment."

“So when I wanted to become a monk, I really wanted to convert to Buddhism, and I wanted to explore what it felt like to become a monk for the first time.

I want to understand, digest, and convey.

But this time, Director Guan personally came to invite me. For me, isn't it a kind of 'fate'?

I have experienced too many things in my life, and just like 'Jigong', I live an open and sincere life. Some people say that when I am laughing and scolding, I am as wise as a fool, neither ordinary nor immortal, extraordinary but not immortal.

But I know very well that I am a layman.

Now the opportunity to be a director is right in front of me, why should I give up?

I'll be there.

Not to be someone's role model.

But I know that I am willing to fight for my whole life for the profession of actor. "
