China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 277 Director Guan, borrow someone?
"How much action?"

Guan Ling asked, but Han Sanpin said vaguely, "It will be clear when you come. But isn't Lingyun Media preparing to go public? It must be good news."

After chatting with Han Sanpin for a few words, Guan Ling was sure that this was an order from the General Administration.

The film bureau's role is not adequate.

All well-known directors in the industry, larger film and television companies, and even many screenwriters and producers will attend the meeting.

Among these people, Guan Ling is the most indispensable.

Especially after recently participating in an interview with the movie channel, Guan Ling revealed the news of "Inception". The only confidence that all parties have is Guan Ling.

"Father Trapped in Time" has been making rapid progress recently, and Guan Ling is also planning to make a blockbuster.

He silently planned in his mind that when the General Administration met, he would definitely be asked about this matter.

Officials were extremely excited by "Avatar".

"I probably read the news. Didn't it say that you are planning to go to the United States recently?"

Although there is a gap from the first film, it still shows great box office appeal.

"It's not because I'm paying attention to your actions." Fan Bingbing reminded, "I've finished promoting my movie and I have some free time these days. How about you give me the hundreds of millions you told me last time and arrange it this time?" "

Although she knew that she had no status in Guan Ling.

Fan Bingbing didn't know where he got the news, so he called Guan Ling that night.

But after that, Fan Bingbing felt that he needed to have more friction and discussions with Director Guan. Communicate about the future. Just have a chance.

"Yes, I have already collected it. After all, it represents the image."

If he wants to go to Hollywood, Fan Bingbing also knows very well that as long as Director Guan does a good job, it will be a sure thing.

When I arrived in the capital, I met Jiang Wei.

……

But she couldn't beat him in either direction.

Jiang Wei is completely convinced by "Age of Awakening", "Director Guan, if there is a TV series like this in the future, ask me to film it, and I will definitely serve Director Guan well!"

Although he was a professor from Nortel in name, he completely lost his temper in front of Guan Ling at this moment.

Liu Yifei's "Taken 2" is not only popular in China. So far, although the North American box office has suffered a heavy blow from "Avatar", it has also taken in 1.2 million US dollars.

Fan Bingbing was so angry that Guan Ling was so angry that her chest hurt.

Guan Ling said, "It's not impossible to meet..."

Guan Ling was knocked speechless by Fan Bingbing.

"We must make progress!"

Fan Bingbing looked thoughtfully at the blue and white porcelain dresses collected in the house.

Fan Bingbing is extremely concerned about the situation in Hollywood Skyscraper. However, among the series of previously released movies, Fan Bingbing did not find any movie that is particularly suitable for him, and there are time conflicts with several current movies.

What's more, the movie "Inception" hasn't been released yet.

There will definitely be a lot of twists and turns in this meeting.

Globally, it generated a total box office of US$2.89 million.

"Director Guan, it seems that that little devil Liu Yifei has been making noises to you recently. You really don't care about me at all, right? I have activities in the United States, but I have come back a while ago. I am an international member of the Huaxia Kingdom. Image promotion video. What’s popular in the media is my ‘blue and white porcelain’ dress.”

In terms of box office, Liu Yifei makes history every day.

A small part of this play needed to be completed in the capital. It just so happened that Guan Ling went to see it.

"I heard that you are coming to the headquarters for a meeting?"

Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao" also approached her.

But after all, it’s considered a person at such a close distance, so it’s all a loss! Can’t the other party pay attention to me at all?

Fan Bingbing wanted to take this opportunity to rush into Hollywood.

It seems that her status in the domestic film industry is not low, but everyone knows that she is rather embarrassed. In terms of acting skills, Zhou Xun won the Best Actress at Cannes.

Guan Ling didn't let her refuse, but there were no clear arrangements for what to film after "The Orphan of Zhao".

At this moment, an unknown fire broke out.

Fan Bingbing has actually been quite busy in the past two years. She has squeezed out some time to resolve personal issues with Guan Ling.

Therefore, during this period of communication with Guan Ling, her demand for roles was not that great. This year, the box office of "October Siege" she starred in exceeded expectations, and movies such as "New Shaolin Temple" and "Horse" also confirmed her role. Role. "The Wind" is about to be released again.

"You are quite well informed."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Bingbing's expression changed.

On the other end of the phone, Fan Bingbing became even more angry.

Guan Ling nodded after hearing this and said in surprise: "Blue and white porcelain dress? Is it still there?"

Mainly, I went to visit the filming location of "The Age of Awakening".

"Did I make Director Guan lose interest? Why do you have to ask me to wear a blue and white porcelain dress when you meet me?"

"Director Jiang, you only think about good things. You didn't win enough Feitian Awards for Outstanding Director last year, right? Are you planning to win two more? Don't give newcomers a chance."

Jiang Wei was pierced by Guan Ling and smiled.

Because of the popularity of "Insidious", Jiang Wei won the Feitian Award for Outstanding Director last year, and also won the title of National TV Worker with Both Virtue and Art. There are also the top ten TV series of the year at the National Drama Festival, the Huading Award for personal leave TV series, and the best director at the Southern Festival.

It can be said that it is easy to win awards.

Now, although the filming of "The Age of Awakening" has just progressed one-third, Jiang Wei already knows that this drama will definitely win an award.

Moreover, it is a TV series that is popular across the board.

Really convinced, Jiang Wei was completely convinced by Guan Ling.

"Director Guan said the same thing. These two TV series are enough to last me two years."

"I'm really going to spend my whole life in the TV industry. Should I consider making a movie or becoming a producer or something?"

"I'm pretty good at making TV series, but movies are a bit stressful."

Jiang Wei was a little moved, but not blindly.

"Let's start with something simple. Whether it's a romance film or a low-budget movie, there are professional photographers. You just have to control the overall situation."

"Then after this drama, try it?"

"The door of Lingyun Media is always open to Director Jiang!"

Guan Ling and Jiang Wei didn't chat for long. The reason why they talked about letting him be a producer or director was purely because Jiang Wei was now completely one of his own family.

Moreover, Guan Ling remembered that in his previous life, he produced and supervised the movie "BJ Falls in Love with Seattle."

At this General Administration meeting, Guan Ling knew that the future development of domestic films was about to enter a high-speed era, and Jiang Wei's experience would be very helpful.

……

When arriving at the meeting place, Guan Ling quickly became the focus.

Director Tong personally came to take them over. Guan Ling saw Han Sanpin, Ren Zhonglun, Lu Peng, Xiying, and a group of private enterprises. Wang Zhongjun looked at Guan Ling from a distance, smiled and said hello.

Lingyun Media has been booming this year.

There were a large number of people around, but many people could only watch helplessly because they couldn't squeeze in front.

The coffee is too big.

"You brat blew it on the movie channel, don't screw it up."

Jiang Wen ran over quickly, chatting with Guan Ling with a smile.

"It can't be smashed. You don't believe me or Nolan?"

"Who doesn't believe you? I'm talking about "Source Code"," Jiang Wendao said. "Nowadays, if a domestic science fiction film fails, it will be your reputation that is ruined."

"Still don't believe me."

Guan Ling smiled and said, "When it is released, you have to book a theater to support me. Don't make the box office look too bad for me." Jiang Wen: "...If I had known better, I wouldn't have said anything."

"You don't want to talk. Look at the boss here. It's hard to say anything."

Guan Ling and Jiang Wen chatted while walking.

This time I completely left everyone speechless.

Moreover, the release time of "Avatar" has been extended. Although it is not a domestic film, it is impossible not to make money.

The theater chain is also willing, and the distributor China Film Group is also willing.

The only ones who are unwilling are those movies scheduled for February.

Many of you here, such as Bona, Anle Pictures, and even Huayi, have movies to be released.

This impact is really not small.

After a while, I met Chen Jiashang and Wang Changtian.

"Director Guan, how about I borrow someone?"

Wang Changtian took the initiative to speak to Guan Ling, and Chen Jiashang also agreed.

"who?"

"Liu Yan."

When Wang Changtian opened his mouth, he felt that his face was swollen.

When Liu Yan was sold to Lingyun Media at a low price, Wang Changtian didn't expect that he would need to borrow this person from Guan Ling.

"I usually don't ask about agency matters." Guan Ling said, "If you have a role, just contact her directly."

"Isn't this a rejection?" Chen Jiashang was a little embarrassed.

"Since I came to Guangsheng, although I produced those projects in the second half of last year, they were not chosen by me. This time I took the initiative to make a project, similar to "Painted Skin", called "Painted Wall". There is a character who is very It suits Liu Yan, but it’s a small supporting role, and Liu Yan doesn’t want to take it.”

"The sexy one?"

"Director Guan still understands!"

"Just because of this, Mr. Wang wants to get a favor? Is it worth it?"

Guan Ling said with a smile.

Wang Changtian said, "It's not necessary to open this mouth. The main reason is that it can not only take advantage of Liu Yan's popularity, but also satisfy Chen Jiashang, the chief producer of the first independent film selection, and establish a WeChat account for Producer Chen. For this , it’s worth it to owe Guan Guan a favor!”

"And how many favors do I owe to Director Guan? How many times has Director Guan taken me to make money before? I won't worry about one more."

Wang Changtian said, "If Liu Yan still doesn't agree, we will consider adding more scenes."

"If I don't agree, it would seem stingy." Guan Ling said, "I'll ask her later and wait for the news."

Regarding the movie "Painted Wall", Guan Ling recalled it a little bit, and the only thing he could remember was Liu Yan's character.

Others were indeed less impressed.

I still remember Liu Yan in the movie, she fell in love prematurely and became crazy about love, resulting in an unethical relationship.

That dance is even more mesmerizing.

And this movie is definitely a bad movie.

But as a choice to maintain popularity, Guan Ling thinks it's harmless.

With so many artists under its banner, you can't just sit there except for your own TV series and movies.

Resources are not allowed either.

Since the other party promised to add drama, Guan Ling certainly agreed.

It’s a bad movie anyway. It’s not bad if there’s a drama in it. It just needs to be popular.

……

At the meeting, representatives from the General Administration talked about the movie box office market situation last year.

Not surprisingly, Lingyun Media ranks first again.

Although Guan Ling didn't make any blockbusters last year, "Hurricane" achieved a very high box office, not to mention a large number of new directors who have entered the 200 million club.

Wait until the official talk is over.

"Recently, "Avatar" has been released all over the world, creating a historical box office miracle. According to the current market situation, "Avatar" can probably reach about 14 billion in box office in the mainland..."

When this data came out, everyone was silent.

Many people turned their heads to look at Guan Ling.

Before today, the box office record for mainland movies had always been Guan Ling's "2012", with a total box office of more than million.

This time, doubled? !

Dead silence.

A dead silence.

In fact, before today, the industry knew that this movie had broken records.

Everyone is analyzing whether it is possible for this movie to break 1 billion.

But no one ever thought that this movie could break 1.4 billion?

But now that the General Administration said this in person, everyone was confused.

"Although this data is a prediction, it is not groundless. So far, IMAX movie tickets are still in short supply in the market. We just talked about last year's box office results. If nothing unexpected happens, the total box office created by Lingyun Media in the country last year, In the end, it is only comparable to the creation of "Avatar" in mainland China."

When it comes to money, it’s enough to surprise everyone.

When talking about reference objects, everyone went crazy.

Lingyun Media was originally an unattainable dream for others, but Cameron did it with one movie!
Zhang Yimou's face was a little ashamed and hot.

Guan Ling was a little embarrassed by being called out, so he smiled bitterly.

“Based on our meetings and discussions over the past few days, we have made some decisions.

First of all, the previously private "Domestic Film Protection Month" will be completely relaxed starting from this year, and there will be no policy protection for domestic films during the summer.

Then, we will give the green light to the film and television production industry and encourage all walks of life, including financial and other institutions, to enter the industry to provide support.

Secondly, we hope that China’s major film companies will play a role model and take the lead, improve their competitiveness, and create better blockbusters. "

It's very clear,
There was tremendous pressure on it.

This is pulling the industry forward and taking off together.

"Director Guan, do you have anything to say to everyone?" Director Tong named Guan Ling. Although "Avatar" is awesome, in China, it is this young man who reassures the Director the most.

Thinking about it carefully, one can’t help but sigh.

"I think this is a good thing. Full competition and a steady stream of money will stimulate the industry to move forward."

Guan Ling said, "But I hope that in this process, everyone here, including me at Lingyun Media, will not be restricted by money. For the sake of the film, we have to invest more ingenuity."

What Guan Ling said was true. As a descendant, he knew very well that this time it was like opening Pandora's box.

Remuneration in the film and television industry has risen sharply, which has made this circle even more lavish and lifeless, with no bottom line. Many fans have become leeks at the mercy of others.

……

After the meeting.

When Guan Ling went out and got in the car, he arrived at Fan Bingbing's home.

"Is there anything interesting happening at the meeting?"

Fan Bingbing was wearing an apron and had just cooked a large table of delicious dishes.

I have been waiting for Guan Ling to come over for a long time.

Opening the door, Fan Bingbing pounced on Guan Ling.
