China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 257 Zhang Songwen’s panic! "Source Code" is finished!
The characters Guan Ling had in mind for Zhang Songwen to play were exactly the soul characters in "The Age of Awakening", Li Da and Zhao.

In the previous life, this role was played by the actor Wei Monk.

But Guan Ling vaguely remembered that Zhang Songwen also played Li Da and Zhao in a certain movie in his previous life.

Moreover, although the Li Da and Zhao he played are not particularly similar in appearance, after all, Zhang Songwen is not a special actor in terms of height, but his acting skills are enough to be canonized as a god or emperor.

Even though Zhang Tong in "The Awakening Age" is already a star, Zhang Songwen still relies on his acting skills to ensure that Mr. Chang's performance is perfect.

After Guan Ling saw Zhang Songwen, he immediately remembered Zhang Songwen's generous face when he was watching movies in his previous life.

Those who cry are not necessarily good actors.

But anyone who can make the audience cry must be a good actor.

Zhang Songwen performed the soul of Mr. Shouchang and his character at that time.

This is enough!

This time there was a sudden protagonist, Zhang Songwen was absolutely excited.

But when he thought about playing Li Da and Zhao, Zhang Songwen was really panicked.

When writing the script, Guan Ling himself could think of the scenes in the lines.

"Are we too different in appearance? I don't think we look alike at all." Zhang Songwen swallowed.

Zhang Songwen's smile was quite shy, and his eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled.

As for the main theme, if you just want to tell everyone about that period of history, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is good, at least it is narrating history.

The movie Guan Ling wants to film is of course "Age of Awakening"!
The reason why this TV series was so popular in its previous life is precisely because this TV series integrates story and characters. No matter before or after the TV series, it has a neat aesthetic.

"Does Daoyou Guan also have plastic surgery?"

"I know this well," Guan Ling said, "In a few days, "Source Code" will be finished. I will personally remodel it for you to give you confidence."

Guan Ling's words made Zhang Songwen panic and full of energy.

Scenes and pictures were engraved in Guan Ling's mind, pouring out in an instant.

Zhu Yawen on the side felt envious in his heart. After Zhang Songwen walked away, he leaned next to Guan Ling and said,

"What's wrong, are you scared?"

"it is good."

But Guan Ling really didn't have a particularly suitable role for him.

After Guan Ling finished speaking, Zhang Songwen nodded affirmatively.

"You are not good at managing things," Zhu Yawen said angrily, "Have you forgotten? I played Mr. Zhou. "My French Years", I was the actor who played the young Mr. Zhou. It was broadcast in 2004 when we were sophomores. of."

In his heart, Zhang Songwen is actually still very scared. It has been three years since he and Guan Ling made their first movie, and he has played every role in it.

In the end, they did grow up, but they all gave up their young lives.

"After the filming of "Source Code" is completed, you will join the cast." Guan Ling patted Zhang Songwen on the shoulder. He knew Zhang Songwen very well, and he knew that Zhang Songwen would not refuse.

"I said, the TV series is about the main theme and there must be historical figures. What? You don't dare to take this role?"

There is another important thing, Zhang Songwen looks old! Nowadays, it is not necessarily difficult to find special-type actors like Li Da and Zhao, but in Guan Ling's view, many times, if only special-type actors are used to find roles, then what matters more is still the face.

After talking to Zhang Songwen, Zhang Songwen was obviously confused.

Zhang Songwen said: "I am definitely willing to act. No matter what role I am asked to play, I am willing to do it. But Director Guan, can you first reveal to me what role I want to play? After the filming of this movie is completed, I will Get ready.”

Originally, I was still thinking about who would play the role, but just now Source Code played the role of a doctor. In order to fit his image of a doctor, he deliberately grew a beard, which immediately reminded Guan Ling of the role he played in his previous life.

"Li Dazhao?"

Chen Qiaonian always said to his brother: "I have grown up."

When he was a child, Chen Yannian repeatedly said to his family: "I am willing to sacrifice myself!"

"In that period of history, who do you think you can play?" Guan Ling asked.

In fact, Guan Ling himself was a little confused!
What a coincidence!

But if you want a film with the main theme to break the barriers of history and time and space and directly touch the hearts of the audience, then you need a story that touches people's hearts.

But Guan Ling didn't give him time to feel sad.

Zhang Songwen also laughed.

"Put your notice in the front row. I will give you time to read the script of the TV series, and also give you time to understand the images and information of Mr. Li Da and Mr. Zhao. After this movie is filmed, I guarantee that you will be at the level of Sun Honglei. top actors."

There is also the words of Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University: "I remember when we first met, it was snowing heavily."

"I wrote the script, and I naturally know what kind of actors to choose." Guan Ling said, "You just need to trust my eyes, I can see good people."

"I said Guanzi, no, Director Guan, no, adoptive father. Is there really no role for me?"

"If you can really make me look similar to my husband, I will definitely try my best in terms of acting."

After Guan Ling finished speaking, Zhang Songwen was stunned.

"The script will be given to you soon." Guan Ling said, "You have plenty of time to prepare. Your roles are Li D and Zhao."

Guan Ling looked at Zhang Songwen and smiled.

Zhu Yawen was really angry now.

Although he was only a minor supporting actor in his youth and didn't have many roles, Guan Ling definitely knew about his role.

Guan Ling suddenly realized.

"Don't say it, don't say it, then you will play President Zhou, but President Zhou is not the protagonist."

"It doesn't matter if it's not the protagonist."

Zhu Yawen was excited.

Guan Ling rubbed his nose. He really didn't know about this. I only traveled through time in 2005. I don't remember things very clearly before 2004. Isn't that right?

However, another role has been confirmed, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

…………

In the following time, Gu Tianle finally knew what kind of movie "Source Code" was.

"Actually, I feel that your science fiction movie is no different from the "Qin Qin Ji" I acted in? In that, I traveled through time and space through a time shuttle. You just used a scientific symbol to refer to it. In fact, it is also time travel. It’s just countless time travels.

But there are very few such projects in Hong Kong films nowadays..."

Gu Tianle pretended to be smart while chatting, but as he chatted, he suddenly became speechless.

Hong Kong movies are indeed in decline.

In the past, I could still film TV series like "Looking for Qin". Nowadays, apart from police and gangster movies, there is really nothing else to star in.

What he said was almost the same, but in fact Gu Tianle was almost crying.

Gu Tianle has already realized what achievements this "Source Code" will create in domestic science fiction movies and even domestic movies.

A captivating film from the start.

A movie that gets better and better and makes people applaud!
As a leading actor, I was confused at first, let alone you movie fans!
Gu Tianle knew that filming with Guan Ling was really the right thing to do.

In the past few years, he has filmed "Underworld", "The Iron Triangle", "The Disciple", "Hold the Call", and "The Overheard", all of which are classic Hong Kong films in the police and gangster genre.

But this time, isn't "Source Code" actually a cop and a robber?
It’s just that the story presented in this movie is so amazing!
Not to mention Hong Kong, I have never seen this in mainland China! An expectation arose in Gu Tianle's heart.

More than ever, he looked forward to the film being shot and released as soon as possible.

He had never felt this way before.

……

The rest of the shoot went very smoothly.

After Gu Tianle understood the plot, he also understood why Guan Ling made him feel blind on the first day of filming. It was because what he should have shown at that time was the rawness of making random guesses.

When it came to filming later, everyone was able to handle simple scenes with ease.

Guan Ling only left the scene before and after the explosion unfilmed. In fact, the explosion scene will definitely need special effects in the later stage.

However, in order to ensure the continuity of the entire drama, Guan Ling decided to blow up the train once. Just to ensure the authenticity of the footage, it was necessary to shoot a full range of images from multiple cameras, and also as a reference for the special effects.

The filming gradually entered the middle stage, and many special actors or extras joined the group. They all finished filming their scenes and then left the group.

Guan Ling estimated that the drama would be finished in early November at most.

In the crew, Fan Bingbing takes care of food, clothing and daily life all day long.

Guan Ling was also relaxed and at ease.

The engine is running every day.

The engine will have four strokes, namely the intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke and exhaust stroke.

Among them, the first two strokes require Fan Bingbing to use both his hands and mouth. The third stroke is mainly Guan Ling's work, and Fan Bingbing occasionally does it. It's hard to say about the exhaust stroke. Anyway, they are all arranged.

……

October in the entire entertainment industry.

"The Founding of the People's Republic of China" firmly controls the headlines in the entire entertainment industry.

Secondly, Guan Ling's new TV series attracted the attention of the industry. Jiang Wei paid a visit to the "Source Code" crew and chatted with Guan Ling.

In fact, no one knew what Jiang Wei was talking about.

All I know is that Jiang Wei was furious when he entered.

Although his face was serious when he came out, his smile could not be frozen for a moment.

At this moment, many actors felt itchy in their hearts.

After all, Jiang Wei has filmed "Latent". How can an ordinary TV series make him laugh like this?
In October, a video that Wu Junru mentioned in the interview was resurfaced, and then it evolved into a vigorous stamp collecting scandal.

It is claimed that there is a female star who likes to collect stamps. Now the four kings are basically almost the same, only Liu Dehua is left.

Liu Tianwang was also shot while he was lying down. He was already temporarily dimmed, but he was just waiting for the movie "Detective Dee" to come out. After all, he was scolded in the past few months and his condition was very bad.

As a result, he was called out again and suffered a period of verbal and written criticism.

Brother Guanxi is still very young, although he has temporarily withdrawn from the entertainment industry due to the scandal last year.

But it was still reported in October that the boat was shaken. Guan Ling was a little stunned when he saw it. This guy is really playing tricks...

There is also a funny news that makes Guan Ling confused.

The government of a certain town posted a family planning map in the village, with Li Yuchun drawn on it and accompanied by written slogans.

"Both boys and girls are born the same..."

Guan Ling was drinking water while reading the news and almost choked to death.

He originally thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect it to actually happen.

"Astro Boy," produced by Glossy in partnership with the United States and Japan, has finally been released after more than two months of steady publicity.

As the childhood animation idol of two generations, many people are discussing going to the theater to watch this animated film invested and produced by a Chinese company.

In just three days, the film's mainland box office record exceeded 40 million.

It once broke the first-week box office record for domestic animated films.

It's all nonsense on the Internet.

This has made Fang Ping, who was previously arranged by Guan Ling to be acquired by Huaqiang Fantawild, feel a certain amount of pressure recently.

During the negotiation process, animated movies suddenly took off at the box office, and the other party wanted to pay a higher price.

I called Guan Ling, and Guan Ling said just grind it slowly.

As a result, within two days, "Astro Boy" was directly criticized by the "China Film News". Actual data showed that the actual box office of "Astro Boy" was only 1700 million in the three days after its release.

Box office fraud!

This news directly shook the pants of many Chinese film companies.

But Guangxian had a tough mouth. He went to the China Film News and claimed that the data obtained by his staff through the department responsible for the box office was indeed more than 1700 million. I wonder where the data of more than million came from?

"Film News" is not used to mistakes at all. Just hit Guangxian's mouth dry and shut.

For a time, the film festival was bustling with activity.

Many directors are afraid that the film press will expose them.

According to a reporter's investigation, box office fraud is quite common in the film industry, and about 80% of domestic films have water injection problems.

No one expected that a cartoon would directly trigger a wave of ridicule at the box office of Chinese movies.

Everyone falsely reported the movie box office, because they had already lost money, but they had to report it, but they were too embarrassed to tell the real number, so they could only tell a lie. No one knew about it anyway, and it could still attract some audiences.

A reporter came to the filming site of "Source Code" to ask Guan Ling for his opinion, and his speech was quite exciting, meaning that the box office of Guan Ling's movies was so high, was it a waste of money?
Guan Ling was not polite to reporters.

“Have you ever seen a false report reveal the Palme d’Or?
Or did he make a false report and go to Hollywood to film a blockbuster movie?
Or is it falsely claiming that he can win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay? "

The people below were dumbfounded after what he said.

The Internet exploded instantly.

"Director Guan is awesome."

"There are trophies and box-office directors. Faced with this kind of news, it's just arrogant!"

"Some people say that when you find a mouse, there are already a group of mice. But Director Guan is the only true god in the film industry!"

The industry is very excited. After all, Director Guan usually doesn't criticize people, so the material in the entertainment industry is reduced by half. Even if they didn't mention names this time, they were basically killed.

Reporters are ashamed of other directors.

Soon, it was the end of October.

The crew finally filmed a scene and "Source Code" was completed.

This is not Guan Ling's first movie, but Guan Ling thinks that he has put in a lot of effort in this movie.

Although the shooting time was not long, it only took less than fifty days from start-up to completion.

But whether it is the material or the lens, Guan Ling believes that it has reached the standard, and the effect of post-editing cannot be bad.

What excites Guan Ling the most is that Guo Fan, a tool man, has already entered the state in advance.

It's ready to use.
