China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 275 "Inception" is also a 3D giant screen! Promotion of "Source Code"!

"Stealing from Zhang Yimou, many scenes in "Avatar" imitated the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics! As soon as domestic shots of Zhangjiajie appeared, it amazed the whole world!"

"A film and television milestone beyond imagination, an unparalleled visual feast!"

""Avatar" grossed 3500 million at the mainland box office on its first day! The global box office surpassed "Lord of the Rings 3"! It has ranked second in history! So far, the top two positions in the global box office are both occupied by Cameron!"

""Avatar" was released in Japan for one week and swept the Japanese box office, earning 7 billion in 19 days! It surpassed the combined box office of "Taken 2" and "Detective Conan"!"

"In the third week of its release, "Avatar" continues to hold the top spot at the North American box office, with a cumulative overseas box office of more than 10 billion US dollars, attracting revenue far faster than "Titanic"!"

Finally, the wolf came.

Guan Ling's low profile a while ago was very useful. When "Avatar" came with a devastating momentum, domestic film and television practitioners were completely speechless.

Zhang Yimou really didn't expect that the release of an earth-shattering Hollywood blockbuster would stir up the storm and make him laugh.

Stalks such as "stealing from Zhang Yimou" have become the latest way to ridicule him.

So during this period, Guan Ling was always disturbed by the media, which made the filming of "Father Trapped in Time" a little slow.

I don't think people should ask me for my opinion. Because as your question says, this is a craze and a revolution. I think his release will have a huge promotion effect on Chinese movies. "

Counting Guan Ling's fragmentary films, at least for now, they have not been surpassed by "Avatar".

There is no longer a "gun-protecting faction". "Three Guns" has withstood countless controversies in just one month, and then was completely dug into the hole and buried by Avatar.

I heard from Brother Cheng Long that in Hong Kong, the name of the movie is called "God Descends to Earth". I think this fits the temperament of this movie very well, because this movie, even in Hollywood, is an absolutely epic movie.

This sentence means that today is not in vain.

"Damn it, a critical hit!"

Guan Ling did not expect that his response to the reporter's interview would instantly break the hearts of many film and television practitioners.

Guan Ling really didn't expect that even though he was making movies honestly, he could still be captured by these reporters.

Especially now that "Three Guns" hasn't been released yet.

"Why are you upset? Since I started making movies, the total box office generated worldwide must be more than "Avatar". I'm not sure how many years it took to make this movie, but I don't care. Anyway, its total box office is currently It’s definitely not as good as the box office of all the movies I’ve made.”

The comparison between the two makes the statement of "stealing from Zhang Yimou" become a real joke.

"In less than half a month since its global release, "Avatar" has broken the box office record of "2012," which was directed by you. Are you a little unhappy?"

The reporter's face broke out in laughter, and his hand holding the microphone for the interview was trembling slightly.

Speechless,

Reporters were unable to interview Cameron in the mainland.

Guan Ling told the truth, but it was a bit rude.

For a time, the industry was numb.

At the same time, he wants to start preheating his movie.

But Zhang Weiping was really envious, envied Guan Ling, and even more envied "Avatar" which was taking the country by storm, but unfortunately it was of no use.

Although not many people made fun of him, Zhang Yimou always felt that this sentence had a touch of ridicule in his heart.

What's more, there is also the "Taken" series, which has a global box office of hundreds of millions.

"Three Guns" makes people think about whether domestic movies need art or happiness.

As "Three Guns" entered its final week of release, the final box office barely exceeded 200 million.

Totally speechless.

The reporter’s questions are very accurate.
He wanted to use this to shake Guan Ling's mind, but Guan Ling's face was filled with calmness and confusion like a little white rabbit.

It can be regarded as a moderately popular one.

A blameless piece of shit!
"Director Guan, the release of "Avatar" has ignited a box office miracle in China. You are the latest mainland director to be exposed to Hollywood movies. We would like to ask, what do you think of the craze and revolution caused by "Avatar"?"

When Han Sanpin saw the news, he couldn't help but say "f*ck".

It was shattered after the release of "Avatar".

Guan Ling has become the best choice for most media.

Guan Ling said a lot of official clichés, which obviously did not satisfy friends in the media.

Is this a harsh statement? It looks like it, but it's not cruel at all.

The news was quickly picked up by the media and posted on portals, quickly sweeping the country.

excited.

A well-deserved bad movie.

There is nothing wrong with what Guan Ling said. "2012" and "Hearing Girl" alone have a combined global box office of one billion US dollars.

Guan Ling's tone was quite calm, but revealed absolute confidence.

This result is very embarrassing for Zhang Yimou, but as a fun game, Zhang Yimou himself has no mood swings.

In order to avoid the constant interruption of reporters and prevent certain Reuters information about "Father" from being leaked, Guan Ling made an appointment with a large number of media and made a special response to everyone's questions.

"I know the achievements that "Avatar" has created in North America. I can only say that this craze and revolution is worthy of being remembered by the global film market. All the directors of Lingyun Media went to watch the film during this screening. . I believe that every director will have his own visual experience.

Everyone has been used to watching Director Guan Ling crush other great directors recently, but after this sentence came out, those media who advocated "Avatar" as a milestone movie couldn't help but want to ask themselves a question, that is, Guan Ling Is Ling also a milestone for Chinese films?
"This reporter is also sick. He asked these questions in front of Director Guan and was speechless after being yelled at. He really did everything he could to get clicks."

"I don't know if I don't tell you, but I'm shocked when I say it. Everyone says that Director Guan is a 'quick shooter'. At this time, I see that Director Guan is really fast. Others have only one "Avatar", but Director Guan has made ten masterpieces. Regardless. Whether it’s filmed by myself, written by someone, or produced, it’s safe to say that the film is about to start.”

Movie fans were also very happy with Guan Ling's topic.

But the real breaking point came in the second half of the interview.

"Director Guan, when do you think you will be able to make a movie like "Avatar"?"

When the reporter's words were tempting to make Guan Ling say something explosive, Guan Ling's tone remained calm.

"I've finished filming."

Guan Ling said calmly again, "Inception, which I co-produced with Director Nolan, is also a 3D giant-screen movie. It is currently in emergency post-production working overtime. This has not been announced before because I still need to tell everyone Explain what 3D is. Now that "Avatar" is released, I don't need to explain it anymore."

Say the most awesome things in a calm tone.

None of the reporters expected that this interview would have such a program effect.

""Inception" is actually a 3D giant-screen movie. Guan Ling claims that the content of the movie is comparable to "Avatar" and can become a classic in film history."

When Guan Ling's interview language was published again in the media, everyone was silenced.

During this period, the strength of "Avatar" caused the confidence of domestic film and television practitioners to collapse.

Zhang Yimou was sprayed miserably.

Because Guan Ling kept a low profile some time ago, he received the least criticism. Although some reporters couldn't resist asking questions and provoking issues in person, Guan Ling really showed his respect and the news completely swept all sides. But it also completely ignited the passion of all parties in China.

"Director Guan can shoot it, so can we!"

"If the technology is not up to par, why can't we spend money to get it?"

Many directors have gained a little more confidence.

……

January goes by too fast in the entertainment industry.

Every day is bombarded with news about "Avatar".

“‘Avatar’ has sparked a movie-going craze, and many movie fans will fly to high-end cinemas to watch IMAX movies.”

"In order to help her son and his girlfriend buy two "Avatar" movie tickets, an old mother wrapped herself in a quilt and queued up all night, just to help buy two 3D movie tickets."

"'Dimension-enhancing excitement'! The audio-visual value of "Avatar" has created hundreds of thousands of 'hard-core' movie fans to make pilgrimages, and IMAX movie tickets are hard to get!"

"From January 1 to 4, the box office of "Avatar" in its first week in China was US$10 million, or about 4020 million yuan, which easily broke the mainland film market record set by "Transformers 2.7" in June last year. It has two box office records of 2 million in a single week and in the first week. Not only that, this is also the best first week performance of the film in all overseas markets.”

""Avatar" broke the box office record of Guan Ling's "2012" and created the first box office record in Chinese film history!"

Guan Ling has maintained a box office of about 200 million in the first week for a long time.

I was completely crushed by "Avatar" without any pressure.

But no one in the industry was surprised, and Guan Ling was not surprised either. He just felt it was noisy.

As a week passed quickly, the box office performance of "Avatar" completely silenced the industry.

Then, people's expectations for "Inception", for a moment, made all Chinese movie fans empathize and filled everyone with expectations.

……

"Director Guan, I don't know what to say. I really want to make a science fiction movie. After watching your film "Source Code", I was very confident and my motivation was directly in my throat. But now... I am really confident. It’s not enough.”

Guo Fan couldn't help but send a text message to Guan Ling, expressing his helplessness.

My dear boy, I was completely shocked and dumbfounded.

"Step by step, wanting to make a science fiction movie and making a movie like "Avatar" cannot be confused."

Guan Ling looked at this future Chinese science fiction film leader and patiently persuaded him,

"I asked you to watch "Avatar" carefully to let you know what others can do with their technology.

Rather than asking you to do something now. "

"I was mainly stimulated. I recently wrote a science fiction script myself, which was an idea I had accumulated in the past.

Originally, I was prepared to vow to ask Director Guan for an investment to see if I could get started on my own, but now that I am watching "Avatar", I have become extremely nervous.

How do you think, why do you feel that your stuff is garbage. "

"It's a good thing to have a script." Guan Ling said, "If you have the chance, you can send it to the writing team for a look. Investment is a small matter."

"Thank you, Director Guan, but before reading the script, can I ask you for someone first?"

"Who?"

"Mr. You Benchang," Guo Fan said excitedly, "there happens to be an old man character in it, and I think Mr. You Benchang is very suitable."

"After filming "Father", you can contact her." Guan Ling nodded, "But everything must still be based on the old man's opinion."

"Okay, thank you, Director Guan."

……

As the time came to January 1, in just 12 days, the cumulative box office of "Avatar" in Hong Kong exceeded 26 million Hong Kong dollars!
January 1: The IMAX box office in North America has reached 15 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is 6800 million US dollars, easily breaking the 3330 million IMAX box office record of "The Polar Express" and becoming the world's highest-grossing giant-screen movie.

January 1: The cumulative box office in mainland China is 17 million.

At this moment, it is less than two weeks before the release date, and the box office has already reached 600 million.

This leaves most people in the industry speechless.

On January 1, the film successfully topped the box office for the fifth consecutive weekend in North America.

The total domestic box office has reached US$4 million, and the global box office has exceeded US$9 billion.

As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.

Everyone was horrified by the madness of this movie.

No one in the industry can say for sure whether banks printing money will result in more box office.

"Director Guan, I think it's necessary to invite you to the film and television channel for an interview to talk about "Avatar" and your views on the future of Chinese movies. How about it?"

Han Sanpin called.

He has been under a lot of pressure recently. He originally thought that the development of Chinese films was already slow enough.

"Avatar" completely impressed him.

At this time, Guan Ling's interview was like a shot in the arm, making Han Sanpin's back straighten.

Guan Ling couldn't resist Han Sanpin's warm invitation, so he took his secretary to the interview center of CCTV to interpret the movie situation together.

After Tu Jingwei asked a few questions about "Avatar", he changed the topic to Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, I have seen many viewers claim tonight that because your "Inception" is also a 3D giant-screen movie, everyone is jealous and looking forward to your movie being released immediately. Can you please disclose the current release time of the movie? For audience friends?”

"Summer time."

Guan Ling said, "I hope that by then this movie can bring an audio-visual feast like "Avatar" to summer movie fans. Believe me, I can do it!"

"Then I would like to ask Director Guan, what kind of impact do you think "Avatar" can have on the industry?"

This interview question was very direct, and Guan Ling hesitated for a moment.

"Actually, I think the subversive impact of "Avatar" lies not in the quality of the film, but in the changes in people's consumption concepts, their understanding of movie theaters, and their changes in movie-watching habits."

"Similarly, with "Source Code," which I just finished filming, what I want to change is Chinese filmmakers' fear of science fiction themes."

“I also want to awaken the Chinese people’s love for science fiction movies.

Today, with the momentum of Hollywood science fiction blockbusters, I want to wait for the release of this Chinese science fiction movie that everyone is looking forward to. I believe that this movie will definitely live up to everyone's expectations! "

Once again on CCTV 6, Guan Ling directly transformed into an advertising expert.

Promote your new movie.
