China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 253 "Source Code" filming begins! Audition for "Age of Awakening"!
Guan Ling didn't even think that his words and deeds could have such a big impact.

Although he left the premiere, almost most artists in the entertainment industry had their eyes on him.

Just because he said that, he wanted to film a TV series similar to "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

Everyone knows how much a TV series with this main theme will add to them.

"Latent" can also be considered as a main theme, and it is very popular in the north and south. Sun Honglei has directly left the popularity of the "you are so ripe" character in the past, far behind.

Completely explosive.

Then the new TV series that Director Guan mentioned... who wouldn't yearn for it?
Therefore, Weibo has become a platform for these celebrities to actively express their thoughts, because Guan Ling was one of the first people to promote Weibo and mobilized a large number of artists to join Weibo.

In the past, Guan Ling usually made announcements through the official website of Lingyun Media, so he usually did not receive any social private messages.

Only people I know a little bit will send text messages or call to greet me.

Others would not dare to disturb Guan Ling even if they wanted to.

After arriving at the company, Gu Tianle was arranged into his room. He saw Zhang Songwen. After a while, Zhu Yawen also arrived.

Gu Tianle became more and more curious and confused.

"You yourself said you have any TV series to shoot, but I haven't seen the script review? But don't go wild. If it is really this kind of tribute drama, I will ask the higher ups to give you the green light."

"You guy, you ran away halfway, and we haven't talked about the most important thing yet?"

"Did I let go of the cannon?"

After all, with Director Guan's level, he must be too lazy to let the TV series have anything to do with him if it's an inferior TV series.

He has also been nominated for supporting actor, leading actor and other awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards and Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.

Gu Tianle did not refute this, just smiled.

It made Gu Tianle's heart itch.

He is only suitable to play Sir.

But when Guan Ling asked him if he was willing to shoot his new movie, Gu Tianle was still moved.

What kind of movie is this?
Do the lines in the script still have to be given line by line?

"Director Guan, can you tell me about the new TV series you are talking about? If there is a role suitable for me, I can make a guest appearance. This can be regarded as repaying Director Guan for choosing me to shoot your movie."

He really couldn't forget how badly he was beaten in "Baby Project". Guan Ling only used a pair of murder weapons from a woman to completely defeat the movie starring Cheng Long and himself.

"You tell them both, increase the price but not the quantity."

If even a hair on his body is disturbed, it will attract the attention of countless artists.

But Guan Ling has not given him a script until now.

"Come to Lingyun Media. The people at the premiere were too noisy. I'm afraid I'll be eaten alive."

Guan Ling laughed and said, "The plot of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is too complicated and fragmented. If you use a TV series to describe it, it would be much simpler. But your face is ordinary, and I'm afraid you can't play those heroes."

For him, everything is on track.

except him,
In the past few years, Gu Tianle has been making movies, and most of them are movies with Hong Kong elements. Although the box office is not as explosive as Guan Ling's, every one of them is quite satisfactory.

"You definitely can't make this TV series."

Sitting in Guan Ling's car, Gu Tianle thought a lot.

"what?"

After all, he is a great film director.

But now, everyone directly expresses their attitude on the Internet. Three poles and two poles, regardless of whether they can smash the jujube down, but if they don't smash it, it will definitely not work.

But Gu Tianle felt that he was not suitable for the heroic role.

Then, Fan Bingbing also came back from the premiere.

For all Hong Kong artists, this channel is not something that makes people yearn for.

After chatting with everyone about the details of the movie, Guan Ling received a call from Han Sanpin.

"This drama has the highest requirements for Gu Tianle's acting skills, and in order to achieve the best results, each of you will get the script, except Gu Tianle. When you discuss it in private, don't reveal the content of the script to Gu Tianle. I understand. ?"

Seeing that filming was about to start, I didn't expect that Director Guan would attract the attention of the entire entertainment industry. It's actually a TV series.

Gu Tianle was actually quite curious. What kind of TV series would Guan Ling think of on the spur of the moment?

"It's just not big enough, the investment isn't big enough, and the effect won't be great." Han Sanpin laughed as he said it. "By the way, Mr. Yu and Mr. Wang are also coming with me, how about that?"

The reason why he tanned himself was to make people pay more attention to his acting skills instead of his face.

Everyone nodded in understanding.

"Don't tell me, you really haven't." Han Sanpin expressed shock, "However, I personally think the movie "Source Code" is the most fascinating among Chinese science fiction films, but it has a few flaws."

This is not surprising. After all, Gu Tianle knows that the aura around Guan Ling now is not just awards and box office, but more importantly, he has the channel to Hollywood.

Ever since he last received a call from Guan Ling, Gu Tianle has been very curious about Guan Ling's new movie.

In Cannes, his film was shortlisted.

But this rhythm made him full of expectations.

Guan Ling said with a smile, "When I wanted to make this movie, the main purpose was not money. Otherwise, I could have made it into an English movie. But if they want to participate, I won't pay less for the premium."

"There's nothing wrong with that. If they don't want a premium, then they won't give them a share." Han Sanpin said, "After all, aren't there two more movies to come?"

Guan Ling nodded. Nowadays, the producer of a movie has to consider all aspects.

China Film, Shanghai Film, Shanying and other film and television groups need cooperation.

Some private enterprises need to provide some benefits.

Cinema chains also need to have good relationships.

After going back and forth, it is almost a luxury to have half of the share in Guan Ling's hands.

After a while, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Han Sanpin and others arrived hand in hand.

"Let's not talk about the share. Let's talk about the TV series?" Han Sanpin's voice came before he entered the office.

"A TV series with a major revolutionary historical theme," Guan Ling thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, this TV series will not be too boring and simple preaching, but will have more human touch and humanistic care."

"I'm going, are you serious?" Han Sanpin suddenly stood up.

He originally thought that Guan Ling was joking and firing off cannons. After all, it was a reporter's impromptu question, and Guan Ling was just casually chatting about the answer.

But after hearing these two words from Guan Ling, Han Sanpin knew that Guan Ling was serious.

"Do you have the script?"

"It's done." Guan Ling estimated that it would take about two days to finish it.

"If the director hasn't been decided yet, how about I come?" Han Sanpin volunteered.

Guan Ling's TV drama script or a gift drama script, how could Han Sanpin let it go? !
On the side, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian were stunned. We are here to discuss the movie share. Why did you ask for permission, Director Han?

"No." Guan Ling's answer this time was decisive. Han Sanpin got started and became a monk halfway. Guan Ling found it hard to believe that he could make this TV series look like the original version. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to choose Han Sanpin as the director.

"Then I will be the chief director. I don't care about the specific shooting." Han Sanpin added, "With my support, as long as your TV series is not reactionary, I will support you in whatever you produce."

Guan Ling said with a smile: "When Director Han said this, I felt relieved."

In a gift drama, Guan Ling reduces troubles and Han Sanpin achieves political achievements. It was simply a double happiness.

"If it doesn't work out, I'll let Jiang Wei do the filming. Director Han, how about you just name yourself as the chief director?"

"Jiang Wei." Han Sanpin nodded, "It's quite appropriate for him to take the photo."

The big hit of "Latent" was ultimately caused by Jiang Wei.

Now in this new TV series, it is normal that Guan Ling still wants to use him.

Then the three families began to discuss the issue of shares.

Guan Ling made it clear that private enterprises can participate in this investment, but a premium is also required.

"Now as long as I look at the work directed by Director Guan, I don't have to worry about it when signing the contract," Yu Dong said.

"Mr. Yu, look at your potential." Wang Changtian smiled at Yu Dong beside him.

"It's different for me. As long as Director Guan accepts it, I'm willing to invest in any future Lingyun Media movies. Moreover, for our film projects, if any of Director Guan's artists need it, they can come over and audition for roles directly. I Guaranteed, the one who wins must be Guan Dao’s artist manager.”

Guan Ling couldn't help but smile when he heard Wang Changtian's words of loyalty.

It seems that there is a so-called resource replacement in name, but in fact they are still full of fear of Lingyun Media.

And they know very well that they have taken too much advantage in this kind of resource replacement.

After talking about the share distribution of "Source Code".

"How long are you going to hide the next two movies?" Han Sanpin said with a smile.

"The script has not been reviewed, and the information has not been disclosed to the media. I only know that you have cast two roles now, one for You Benchang and the other for Wu Junmei. Are these two characters in one play or two?"

Han Sanpin was quite helpless about Guan Ling's behavior.

"Now, do you want to hide and tuck me in with me?"

"It's not hiding it, just to avoid influence." Guan Ling said,

"These two people are in the same drama. But the same thing is that the requirements for acting skills in the two subsequent dramas are too high, and in the second one, I haven't even made up my mind about who to choose as the protagonist."

Han Sanpin was a little surprised: "What about an audition?"

"Let's wait until I finish filming "Source Code". This movie will only take a few months to shoot at most."

"Okay, then keep waiting." Han Sanpin said, "I can't wait to see what the Chinese-language film "Source Code" will look like."

Suddenly, Han Sanpin thought of something again.

"But there's one thing. If you're really too busy with your movies and TV series, if you need auditions, let me choose the roles. How about that?"

Guan Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I haven't told you, Director Han, to invest in this TV series yet. You are so busy and you start working for me?"

"Aren't you still anxious?" Han Sanpin said, "I'm really curious about your TV series!"

…………

It took Guan Ling three days to finally finish writing the script for "Age of Awakening".

As for the role, Guan Ling really had a headache. He was going to leave it to Jiang Wei and Han Sanpin to choose.

And "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" has also become the most popular thing in the entertainment industry in the past two days.

The box office on the first day, after ten hours of screening, was 15 million.

The box office on the second day was 29 million.

The box office on the third day was 31 million.

The box office in three days exceeded 75 million, and it became popular all the way!
In the slightly sluggish September schedule, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" directly topped the entire September schedule.

The decadent momentum of domestic films in August was swept away.

"The Founding of the Nation" swept forward with his momentum.

According to industry estimates, this situation will inevitably continue until the National Day holiday.

Han Sanpin was really distracted these past two days and made several phone calls to Guan Ling.

"I'm telling you, Director Guan, you're good at fortune telling. You said you could get about 400 to 500 million yuan at the box office. In this situation, you probably can get it."

Guan Ling was slightly speechless: "If you open Douban score, I'm afraid you won't be able to get this data."

Of course it was impossible to say this.

After all, it is strange that Douban cannot comment on a movie, and Douban cannot rate it.

But I have to say that this box office data is indeed exciting.

At this time, news of the launch of "Source Code" had also begun to circulate on the Internet.

"The science fiction drama film written and directed by Guan Ling, starring Gu Tianle, Fan Bingbing, Zhu Yawen, and Zhang Songwen, will start shooting at Xiangshan Film and Television City on September 9. It is reported that Director Guan strives to make this film a Chinese industrial film "Structure tags."

"Following Guan Ling's participation in the premiere of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", "Source Code" will be officially launched soon."

All kinds of news emerge in endlessly.

Many netizens have raised questions, but more of them are looking forward to it.

"'Source Code'? The name seems quite sci-fi, but I am resistant to sci-fi movies made in China. Even if the director is Guan Ling, I still have doubts."

"From this name, I feel something like "The Matrix". After all, the source code, if nothing else, is the source code in the program. I really can't understand what this has to do with the movie."

"I'm looking forward to Director Guan's new movie! Director Guan said that there are endless domestic films. I will always support him! Director Guan could have gone to Hollywood to make films, but he still made science fiction films for China Film. This pattern, this level , who can disapprove?”

Guan Ling has not paid attention to the comments on the Internet these days.

For him, the most important thing now is the filming of "Source Code".

September 19th.

The movie starts.

Before the start-up, Guan Ling did not hold a big start-up ceremony.

But when the filming actually started, the scene was indeed packed with people. Countless movie fans and reporters were extremely interested in Guan Ling's new drama.

Under Han Zheng's arrangement, Guan Ling, Gu Tianle, Zhu Yawen, Zhang Songwen and Fan Bingbing all arrived at Xiangshan Film and Television City.

This is the filming location for "Source Code" that Han Zheng had chosen for Guan Ling a long time ago.

The green shed has already been set up.

A brand new train has also been built.

Everyone will spend the next month and a half here.
