China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 292 The industry is boiling! Five years have not dulled the edge! The knife is deadly!

As everyone at home and abroad saw that Guan Ling won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Anyone who pays a little attention to Guan Ling or the movie will have their heads buzzing in an instant.

Pondicherry, a small town in South India.

This is the least "Indian" city in India. It has a French style and exudes the ancient and mysterious color of India.

There are colorful Indian-style bungalows everywhere.

Indians like colors very much, so India here is full of colors.

The neat and wide seaside boulevard is lined with broad-leaved tropical trees, and through the windows of the garden house, you can see the endless beach outside.

On the TV in the room, Li An was looking at the screen.

In front of his table, there is India's most unique food.

"I understand what you mean." Li An said.

You know, Tang Wei is a good girl, but because of me, she was soft-blocked.

It can be said that it is a bit contrary to Tiangang!
But Ang Lee has always been satisfied with his status. He enjoys the feeling of riding the waves in Europe and the United States and then being regarded as a standard in the Chinese-speaking world.

"My call is actually a bit presumptuous, but I really can't wait." Hou Hsiao-hsien said, "I know that Director Li, you are more familiar with Guan Ling than I am. There are some things I can't say, but when will you chat with Director Guan?" "

"Now, Guan Ling is the number one person."

"That's great, Guan Ling won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

Li An shook his head and said silently.

Suddenly, jingle bell, the phone came.

"No, it's already past seven in the morning India time."

"My new movie will be shot in Taiwan, but next time I make a Chinese-language movie, I really don't have any plans. You know, I'm not very good at screenwriting."

"I saw."

And here in North America, if I have to bring Tang Wei along, the role is not particularly suitable.

Tang Wei called me a few days ago. The movie she shot, written by Guan Ling, triggered a demonstration in South Korea and caused the pressure of public opinion in South Korea to reach its peak.

I’m not surprised that it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this time.

As the only Chinese-language film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Ang Lee has always had a high status.

Because I know he will get it sooner or later.

It made Li An miss the taste of home very much.

But this time, I was really convinced. "

Li An's wife called over.

An uncut Indian roti, paired with a small portion of the classic Masala Chicken Curry and a cup of Lassi Yogurt.

Especially the yogurt, the name is really correct, and it really makes you have diarrhea after eating it.

Not only was the old case brought up again, the Korean Congress also began to study the legislative situation.

But I just didn't expect it to be so soon. "

I really have nothing to say about Guan Ling, his ability to seize opportunities, his script writing, and even his directing skills, other than to describe him as talent.

She was in Taiwan and saw the live broadcast.

No one responded to him, just an empty room.

Paired with a glass of slightly turbid water from the Ganges River in India, the taste is so sour and refreshing.

"An, your record is broken."

"I have never served anyone in my life." Li An said with a smile, "Whether it is Brother Chen Kai or Zhang Yimou, to me, they are all respectable people. They are not friends, but they are not competitors either. More It's a kind of sympathy.

But his shortcoming is that the box office of Chinese-language films in the Chinese-speaking circle has never been very high.

Li An's voice came slowly, and his wife across from him was just listening quietly.

Including Ang Lee.

Hou Hsiao-hsien's voice was urgent. After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and added: "It didn't affect your rest, right?"

In Europe and the United States, there is still some ability.

"Director Li, have you seen it?"

After all, I know how difficult the road I am taking is. I know very well how much I suffered to finally stand on this stage.

The other end listened quietly and chimed in a few words.

"I have to hang up first, Chairman Hou is calling." Ang Lee suddenly received a call from Hou Hsiao-hsien.

"I once asked Guan Ling to do me a favor. I asked him to take Tang Wei with him when he was filming a movie outside.

"Taiwanese movies need some vitality." Hou Hsiao-hsien said, "I hope you and Director Guan can help Taiwan."

With Quentin's award ceremony over and Guan Ling receiving the statuette, although the Oscars are not over yet, the entire Chinese film industry seems to have been hit hard in the heart.

Hou Hsiao-hsien agreed, "As long as you are willing."

After hanging up the phone, Li An was silent for a while.

Chinese-language films actually have a low status in North America and the world.

In the past, Hong Kong movies and kung fu movies still had some market in North America.

But now, it's not enough.

And Taiwanese movies are even more shackles.

Ang Lee doesn't know if Guan Ling can help Taiwanese movies, but he himself is definitely helpless.

Only if there is such hope.

Ang Lee knows it very well.

This hope can only be given by Guan Ling.

This guy is a quick shooter!
And the gun hits the target, the target is clear!
……

"Guan Ling, what can I say?"

With the news coming one after another, Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Weiping beside him and smiled helplessly.

"Took it?"

Zhang Weiping asked while taking off the phone.

Sure enough, at this moment, the Chinese entertainment circle has exploded.

Various media outlets started reporting frantically. After all, the fact that Guan Ling won the Chinese-language Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film was so exciting for the film industry!
Even though he had won the Oscar once before, it was for his script after all.

But it is an English film after all.

But now, this is an authentic Chinese film, and it is also the original Palme d'Or award-winning film!

"Ten years of nominations, twenty years of chasing, Guan Ling's help in helping Chinese-language films finally come true!"

"What should I say? Guan Ling won the Palme d'Or + the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film! "Shoplifters" not only stole the love of the family, but also stole the hearts of audiences around the world!"

"A marriage of thousands of miles, held together by a thin thread! Guan Ling is the first mainland director to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

"Guan Ling's acceptance speech was plain and simple, and seemed to be incoherent due to the impact of the first prize!"

"Zhou Xun is in tears! The Cannes Best Actress has become the winner of the largest international award for a Chinese film actress after Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi!"

"Liu Yifei held one of Guan Ling's hands and seemed to be cheering Guan Ling on!"

"Count down the love-hate relationship between Chinese-language movies and Oscars! The famous director Guan Ling wrote and directed "Shoplifters", which will eventually make his way to the Olympics no longer full of regrets!"

The emergence of various news has swept through various forums, websites, and Weibo!
On Weibo, Guan Ling's win for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film has become a hot topic, directly posted at the top of Weibo.

Everyone was dazzled by this news.

For a time, all gossip and propaganda in the entertainment industry were suppressed.

"This guy is so lucky." Zhang Weiping looked at the excitement that had spread online and felt a little disgusted.

"Once is luck, twice is luck, and three times is still luck?" Zhang Yimou shook his head, "I am still beaten on the beach by the back wave."

Zhang Yimou's encounter with Berlin during the Lunar New Year holiday made him calm down, but also made him feel a little regretful. Now that he saw Guan Ling win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, his stories from back then came to his mind again.

It’s vivid in my mind.

"His level in Hollywood means that he must be more familiar with public relations than us."

Zhang Weiping is still not angry.

Zhang Yimou didn't respond to him, he just raised his hand on the table, thinking about something.

"It's time for our movies to start moving."

"Casting can start at any time and we are already ready."

"Then let's get started." Zhang Yimou said, "The circle must be full of people praising Guan Ling these two days. Let's add some fire to the circle."

Everything for "Hawthorn Tree Love" has been prepared.

Everything is ready except for the heroine.

The two photos were taken to create the cleanest love story in history.

The requirements for actors are very high.

Some actresses came to interview for the role of heroine before, but none of them could catch Zhang Yimou's discernment.

After a lot of back-and-forth, the two films were decided, and the casting was chosen among the art school students in each city.

This is how Li Man was singled out before.

The two of them have already become familiar with each other.

"Your fire may not burn as brightly as Guan Ling's when the time comes." Zhang Weiping said.

"What can I do? I don't want to light this fire. But no matter what, none of these actresses are convincing.

Nowadays, children are becoming more and more ugly. Beautiful girls don’t have children with handsome men. They all go to coal bosses, rich people, and old men.

So today’s post-90s generation is really not good-looking. "

"If your words get out, the industry will explode. Don't those actresses hate you to death?"

"Hate me? Then go ahead and hate me. Now that Guan Ling has a high status, can I still be someone who can be rubbed at will? It's a beautiful idea."

Although he said this, Zhang Yimou looked at the photo of Guan Ling on the news.

His gaze is profound.

Finally, after Zhang Weiping left, Zhang Yimou asked silently to himself.

"Why not me?"

……

Nortel.

Beijing Film Academy, which has just started its term, is entering the happiest time on campus.

The trees on the campus are green and the flowers are blooming. It's March, and in two months, it will be summer. By then, the campus will be full of long, white legs.

Today is Women’s Day, and there are scenes everywhere on campus of sending flowers to female teachers.

Some students also started sending flowers to their girlfriends.

Celebrate that your girlfriend has become a young woman.

But in the directing department, the vice president of the film school who is responsible for directing, and most of the teachers in the directing department are gathered in an office at the moment.

The moment when the screen won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

The office was silent.

Then, a loud shout erupted.

The gentlemen who have always been polite are now shouting the same slogan.

"Brilliant!"

Huang Lei looked at everyone and felt funny in his heart. As a teacher of the performance department, he also took the initiative to join in the fun this time.

But as a cultural person and a smart person, Huang Lei couldn't help laughing when he saw the excited expressions of these directors.

What kind of culture is there? If you say something awesome, you can conquer the world.

We are all teachers, and expressing our emotions is equally straightforward!

"Took it!"

The vice principal asked everyone to quiet down, "Director Tian, ​​give Guan Ling a call."

Everyone began to wait for Tian Zhuangzhuang to call, and Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded and started to dial.

beep.

beep.

As the busy tone keeps coming to mind.

Everyone's initial excitement subsided a little at this time.

"Can't get in touch." Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "Although he has nothing to do at this time, he just won the award, so it's normal that he can't get through. It's definitely not just us."

"That's right, I forgot about that." Although the vice-principal was impatient, he also reacted at this time.

"Then I have to leave this task to Director Tian," said the vice-principal. "This Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film will be the first stop when he returns to China. I want it to be at Nortel."

"Understood, I will let Guan Ling come."

"You don't understand what I mean." The vice principal said, "Whether Guan Ling comes or not, it doesn't actually matter. He has already been a celebrity in the school, so it doesn't mean much whether he comes or not. I'm talking about the trophy."

Everyone here was amused by the vice principal's frankness.

"I really understand this time."

Only then did Tian Zhuangzhuang react.

The trophy can come, but Guan Ling had better not come. Now that Guan Ling is here, how will the school leaders perform?

Do the students listen to Guan Ling or the school?
This honor indeed belongs to Guan Ling, but Guan Ling belongs to Nortel, so this honor naturally belongs to Nortel.

If it belongs to Nortel, it belongs to Nortel’s school leaders.

Guan Ling is here, it’s not easy to follow Zhong Xi, he’s just pretending to be in the show!

"The trophy is the top priority after returning to China." The dean of the directing department suddenly said to everyone, "But I think we at Nortel must take the initiative to celebrate Guan Ling this time."

"I get angry when I talk about this." The vice-principal said, "Guan Ling should have been given an extension in the first place. Now, next time he graduates from graduate school, we will have to be cowardly when we contact him."

Everyone laughed again.

"Principal, if Guan Ling heard what you said, everyone would be numb." Huang Lei joked.

"Xiao Huang, you are young." The vice-principal said nothing but did not pay attention. As soon as he spoke, the vice-principal directly called his name, "You are from the acting department and you came to the directing department to join in the fun?"

"This is not to see what the leaders and professors are going to talk about. If you have any needs, I can also make suggestions."

"There is really a demand. Guan Ling won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this time. But after all, he has left school. Do you think we can do something to continue to make the school famous?"

Huang Lei thought for a while.

"I really have a trick up my sleeve."

"put."

"Let's invite the media to conduct an exclusive interview to learn about Director Guan's film masterpieces during his time at Nortel. After all, Director Guan has been at Nortel for six years. We have too many stories to promote. Finally, let's jump to the topic directly. Oscar is the best A good foreign language film, our recruitment promotion is here again!”

"Okay, okay!" The vice-principal was very satisfied, "That's it!"

Nortel acted very quickly. The next day, Nortel published an exclusive interview on the fly.

"The edge has not been dulled in five years, and the sword is deadly!"

As soon as this interview came out, the entire film and television industry was left speechless.

Especially in the middle stage and on stage, my face turned green.

Are you so deadly? Whose life? Our lives? !
