China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 261 Rushing to the Golden Horse! Zhang Junning who wants to make progress!

As everyone is saving up to watch movies during the Lunar New Year, the box office of movies released in November is obviously sluggish.

Whether it is a Hollywood movie or a domestic film, it has a bad start and a weak follow-up.

Most of them are concentrated at the level of 30 to 40 million.

This box office would have been considered a good result in the past.

However, the rapid expansion of theaters in the mainland and the increase in the number of screens have caused the box office of most movies to rise slightly.

"Bullfighting", which Guan Ling did not pay much attention to, as a literary film, has a box office of close to 30 million.

This shows how bad the box office was in November.

""Shoplifters" has ten Golden Horse Award nominations, "Bullfighting" has seven Golden Horse Award nominations, "Mei Lanfang" has four Golden Horse Award nominations, and "Li Mi's Conjecture" has two Golden Horse Award nominations. Can mainland films win the Golden Horse Award? Another great achievement?”

"Following the Best Actress Award at Cannes, the Huabiao Award, the Golden Rooster Award, and the Golden Horse Award, can Zhou Xun achieve great results again?"

After that she has to be busy with movies.

He has already started working on his new movie.

I am almost at the age of menopause, and I have always wanted to have a child. I have also tried in vitro fertilization eight or nine times, and I have not been affected once.

Wu Junmei held Guan Ling's hand, tears streaming down her face, saying that she was old and couldn't bear to see this now.

Guan Ling naturally agreed.

At that time, Guan Ling asked: "Do you want "Shoplifters" to sweep the Golden Horse Awards? Or do you want me to carry the sedan?"

Some time ago, You Benchang had been studying in a nursing home.

As the time gets closer.

Instead, I had a good exchange with Liu Yifei.

After the audition notice for "The Age of Awakening" was completely over, Guan Ling began to choose roles in new movies.

At first, when they saw the name of the script, everyone was a little confused.

Moreover, although movie fans in the huge country’s film market occasionally watch Korean movies, not many people really take them to heart.

Guan Ling believes that this movie will definitely win something at the Oscars.

Yan Danchen finished filming "Source Code" first, and then came to film a new supporting role. He was excited beyond words.

After all the roles were decided, Guan Ling gave everyone the script.

Because of his role, he needs to play out some details.

Looking at this script now, everyone is confused.

This supporting role, Guan Ling, did not choose any of her own actresses because she was purely acting as a sedan chair for You Benchang.

"Is this a science fiction movie?"

But because Liu Yifei was reminded by her mother and always came to Lingyun Media, Guan Ling temporarily put her mind down.

Most people just think that Guan Ling may have some kind of cooperative relationship with Bong Joon-ho.

"It's just a simple partnership."

In addition to the two starring roles of You Benchang and Wu Junmei, Guan Ling also chose Yan Danchen as a female supporting role.

But after reading the entire script, no one was in tears.

Get rid of your Taiwanese accent.

Of course he agreed wholeheartedly.

The finalization and finalization of "The Crucible" is just a small episode for the mainland.

All the attention of the entertainment industry is focused on the promotion of the Lunar New Year festival and the 46th Golden Horse Awards to be held in Taiwan.

This news reached the ears of many Golden Horse people through the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee, and everyone remembered the fear of being dominated by Ang Lee the year before.

As the previous Best Director of the Golden Horse Awards, the Golden Horse Organizing Committee called Lingyun Media many times and wanted Guan Ling to participate in the Golden Horse with his work.

Occasionally, several reporters interviewed Guan Ling about related issues, but Guan Ling also responded casually.

After all, the release of "Taken 2" requires Liu Yifei to travel both to the United States and the Mainland to promote it.

No one cares about the mainland actresses who have been soft-blocked, and no one thinks that Guan Ling's casual investment in South Korea will yield any miraculous results.

Yan Danchen was never invited to the original meal.

Yan Danchen was also very sad and wanted to cry in Guan Ling's arms. Originally, Guan Ling was planning to let Yan Danchen treat him to dinner.

Time soon came to late November, and Guan Ling got up and rushed to the Golden Horse.

What else can I say, if Director Guan is willing, I will definitely promote your movie at the Oscars.

Participate in the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

It turns out that a movie script can still be written like this?
Wu Junmei was completely dumbfounded.

Of course Guan Ling wouldn't pay attention to the noise from the outside world.

There were three or four supporting roles, so there weren't too many roles. Guan Ling gave one of the roles to Zhang Shi, but asked Zhang Shi to straighten his tongue.

At that time, "Lust, Caution" was like a dimensionality reduction attack, sweeping the Golden Horse Awards.

All major protagonists have gained something.

Ang Lee is also well-deserved as the best director, winning two Golden Horse Awards with this film.

It is worth mentioning that the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did not win Ang Lee the title of Best Director at the Golden Horse Award that year, which is indeed an interesting thing.

Everyone is looking forward to Guan Ling coming because he can add color to the Golden Horse Film Festival.

However, there are also many nominated directors who do not want Guan Ling to participate, because if they participate, their probability of winning the award will be greatly reduced.

Hou Hsiao-hsien, as the chairman of the Golden Horse Film Festival, personally called Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, you don't have to worry about these things. If we at the Golden Horse Awards were just going to carry you with Director Guan, "The Suspect" wouldn't have won many awards that year. What do you think?"

It was Hou Hsiao-hsien's guarantee that allowed Guan Ling to go to Golden Horse with confidence.

Compared with the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award, Guan Ling has a better impression of the Golden Horse Award.

At least the current Golden Horse Awards have not been involved in all aspects of politics.

Guan Ling went to the Golden Horse a few days before the awards ceremony.

He did not attend the opening ceremony of the Golden Horse Awards.

For Guan Ling, only the award ceremony interested him slightly. The exposure on the red carpet was dispensable to Guan Ling.

But since I came to Taiwan, it was impossible to avoid the on-site drinking party.

Guan Ling could not refuse the invitations from Ang Lee, Johnnie To and others.

This time Ang Lee, Johnnie To and others did not have films to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. They came as award presenters.

So after Guan Ling arrived at the scene, he blended directly into the group of award-winning guests, feeling a little out of place.

"Director Guan, I saw Tang Wei's message. Thank you, Director Guan. I owe you a favor." Li An handed Guan Ling a glass of wine at the wine table.

"Director Li has thought about this many times. He is a good actor. If he can help, I will definitely not refuse."

Guan Ling said with a smile.

But he was thinking in his heart that Tang Wei had already repaid him.

Whether it is becoming a spokesperson for Guan Ling to demonstrate his abilities in South Korea, or even more wildly giving Guan Ling many empty goals.

Of course Guan Ling saw all of this.

"It's inevitable that Director Guan will win the prize for "Shoplifters" this time, but I don't know how many awards he can win." Johnnie To said, "Actually, it stands to reason that they should let you, Director Guan, be the award guest. The reason why they let you participate is Awards. Most likely I want to borrow the title of Palme d'Or from "Shoplifters".

As big directors, they certainly knew that Guan Ling's "Shoplifters" was invited. Everyone was unconvinced.

"Director Ang Lee was in India recently. How do you feel about the food there?"

At the cocktail party, Guan Ling made a joke about Li An.

Li An's mood was very unclear.

The original smile was bright and dull.

"Director Guan, you are a bit too annoying." Li An said, "Have you ever seen hand-made rice without gloves on a dusty street?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw Li An acting lively there.

Guan Ling was the only one who was thoughtful. Except for him, everyone didn't know what kind of achievements Ang Lee's trip to India would bring to him.

At the on-site film festival, Guan Ling saw many familiar faces.

"Hello, Director Guan, my name is Su Youpeng."

"Hello, Director Guan, long time no see."

Su Youpeng's smile was enthusiastic, and standing next to him was Xu Nuoxuan, greeting Guan Ling.

Xu Nuoxuan's fair face wore her bright smile, and her eyes were shining.

She had met Guan Ling, and Guan Ling was quite familiar with her. After all, when filming Shark Beach, he had considered letting her play the role of Liu Yan.

Guan Ling knew that underneath her thin body was a C-shaped ferocious weapon.

Guan Ling nodded.

"I hope Director Guan wins the grand prize this time." Although the Taiwanese girl is older, her tone of voice is still a bit seductive.

"Director Guan, because I was at Huayi, I was too embarrassed to talk to you about roles. If there is a role in the future, please consider it, Director Guan."

Su Youpeng stood beside Guan Ling and took the initiative to speak.

"What, are you going to terminate your contract with Huayi?"

Regarding Su Youpeng's words, Guan Ling's interest suddenly arose.

"Almost, the contract will be terminated next year." Su Youpeng said, "It's not just me, Huayi should have a large number of contract terminations next year."

"I really haven't heard of this." Guan Ling said, "I'm not paying attention."

"Director Guan, you are right not to pay attention." Su Youpeng said with a naive smile, "There is no aspect of Huayi that can compare with you, Director Guan."

Guan Ling could tell that Su Youpeng was still a little resentful.

"In short, Director Guan, if you are willing, I very much hope to join Lingyun Media." Su Youpeng recommended himself.

After Guan Ling chatted for a while, he realized that Huayi was in a bad state recently.

The relationship between Su Youpeng, Lin Xiru and several others and Huayi is almost on the verge of breaking up.

The two signed a contract with Huayi in 2006, almost at the same time as Huang Xiaoming. However, Huang Xiaoming knew Guan Ling at the time, but the two were not very familiar with each other.

After Lin Xiru signed with Huayi, she saw her maids becoming more and more successful, while she herself became just a tool to attract money, and she had almost no works sold in the past few years.

There aren’t even any big dramas or blockbusters.

The actress who was once so popular is gradually fading away before her eyes.

Even after Fan Bingbing and Zhou Xun left, she didn't feel that she was taken seriously.

The same goes for Su Youpeng. He was the first star to become popular in Asia. Before signing with Huayi, his "The Unruly Princess" was still a hit on the screen and was a hit for a long time.

But after joining Huayi, he was treated completely differently from Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao at the same time.

In the past four years, only two TV series have been filmed.

On the surface, Su Youpeng said that he turned down dozens of TV drama offers and started starring in stage plays.

In fact, Su Youpeng was not taken seriously at all, so he could only protest silently as a last resort.

Seeing that Huayi was getting worse and worse, Su Youpeng still took the initiative to express his feelings to Guan Ling at the Golden Horse Film Festival.

In the past few years, Guan Ling has excelled in domestic entertainment.

Definitely the thickest thigh.

Xu Nuoxuan next to her was stunned, her mouth slightly opened.

"I haven't gotten close to Guan Guan yet. Why did you come here first? I'm a woman, okay?"

Guan Ling naturally didn't see Xu Nuoxuan's appearance. Even if he did, he wouldn't have any reaction.

"If you want to come to Lingyun, I'll naturally welcome you." Guan Ling smiled and extended his hand to Su Youpeng.

"But I feel like you can act and direct at the same time."

"Director? Be a director?"

"Yes, when you become a director, you are not afraid of becoming a monk halfway, but you are afraid of not thinking about it properly. You have acting skills, but I think you can consider becoming a director. Whether it is a youth film, a romance film, or other genres you want to make, Lingyun Media will do it. can help you.”

Su Youpeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"If that's the case, then I'm not polite?" Su Youpeng held Guan Ling's hand tightly, "I am willing to try to transform."

Of course, Guan Ling was not idle and wanted to give Su Youpeng a chance. The main reason was that he knew that the Chinese film "The Suspect's Devotion" originated from Su Youpeng.

The bond between the two also made Guan Ling willing to give Su Youpeng a chance.

In fact, even though Su Youpeng was not a successful director in his previous life, he was still a very hard-working person.

Many youth films, romance films and the like were directed by Su Youpeng.

Guan Ling thinks it's not too much.

While the two were communicating, two actresses with long hair and shawl hair appeared next to Guan Ling.

The leader was Lin Zhiling, whom we hadn't seen for a long time. She had a sweet smile.

"Director Guan, I have to compete with you for the Lunar New Year Festival this time. Although it hasn't started yet, my heart is already panicking."

Guan Ling couldn't help but laugh. As for Lin Zhiling and Jay Chou's "The Tomb", let alone panic, panic to death is the right thing to do.

Guan Ling had seen this movie in his previous life - it was a piece of shit.

It was this movie that completely woke up Jay Chou, you are the only one who sings.

It's amazing that he has one and two popular films. Do you really think that you can dominate the film industry?

What caught Guan Ling's attention was another girl next to Lin Zhiling. She was almost 1.7 meters tall and was not overwhelmed by Lin Zhiling's side.

On the contrary, her temperament is quite outstanding, her eyes are bright, her facial features are exquisite, her nose is high, especially her lips, which are unusually plump.

"Hello Director Guan, my name is Zhang Junning."

The girl next to Lin Zhiling took the initiative to introduce herself, and Su Youpeng also said hello to her, which showed that they knew each other.

"I just heard that Director Guan was discussing cooperation with future Director Su," Zhang Junning said with a smile, "I also want to develop in the mainland, Director Guan, why not give me a chance?"

Of course, Guan Ling saw that this female star would be quite popular in the future. This was Zhang Junning, who had become popular in "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", "Army Master Sima Yi" and "Detective Chinatown".

Although her appearance is not overwhelmingly beautiful.

But his eyes are very bright.

Guan Ling saw sincerity in her eyes.

"Of course you can give me a chance." Guan Ling said with a smile, "I never mind giving opportunities to newcomers."

"It just depends on how the newcomer performs."

Zhang Junning looked at Guan Ling thoughtfully.
