China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 295 Mother Liu: Feifei! Is your heart frozen? !

In mid-March, Guan Ling’s hopes of winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film were still lingering.

Although Guan Ling lives in a beautiful country, he still touches the hearts of countless people in the country.

At the same time, "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" directed by Tsui Hark also began to enter a period of intense publicity.

Originally, the release of "Inception" was planned in March.

However, due to post-production problems, "Inception" was postponed for two months.

Therefore, "Detective Dee" and "Source Code", which have been completed at this time, have become the most anticipated movies in the industry.

Of course, when it comes to expectations,

Guan Ling is still the strongest.

With "Avatar" losing at the Oscars, the film's final box office in China has begun to rise rapidly.

As the only movie in China that has been released for ten weeks.

This is also the last week of Avatar.

In fact, throughout February, "Avatar" was beaten by "The Wind" and was struggling to survive, and the weekly box office champion was firmly confirmed.

However, this movie still ranks second at the box office of China Film Weekly.

Entering March, there have been no new movies that are influential enough to be released.

In fact, box office troughs have always been seen in late February to early March.

This is almost an industry consensus.

The Lunar New Year holiday empties the wallets of movie fans, so they have to earn time to continue watching movies.

So the worst schedule in the industry is this time period.

Although there are 7 new movies on the market, most of these high-density movies are bought out by Chinese producers, and there is very little publicity before release.

Audiences showed little interest or enthusiasm for these films.

The first-day box office of movies such as "Secret Agent" and "Lost in the Tomb" did not even exceed 10 million.

Sophie Marceau starred in "Don't Look Back". She traveled thousands of miles to China to promote it. As a result, she worked hard for two weeks and made three million dollars in the first look.

Sophie Marceau cried and ran back to the country.

Domestic movies are even more popular. "A Better Day" and "Nana's War of the Roses" are all blockbuster movies.

At least the movie box office results handed in in early March,

It can be said to be stretched to the extreme.

It can only rely on Guan Ling's Oscar win to barely inject a boost into the Chinese film industry.

Inject confidence into theaters.

At this time, the promotion of Tsui Hark's "The Dragon King" was nothing short of an earthquake.

But this earthquake is not good news at all for "Alice in Wonderland", "The Box of Light", "Thieves of Time" and "Future Cop".

As Tsui Hark began to enter promotion.

Both domestic and foreign issuers were faced with a formidable enemy.

Tsui Hark should not be underestimated.
Plus the name Guan Ling, and it’s Guan Ling who just won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

In addition, the "Detective Dee" series was originally the second highest-grossing Chinese-language film in Hollywood.

Panic, panic!

For a moment, Tsui Hark was like a catfish thrown into a school of fish. The fierce look revealed its fangs.

As a result, this large number of movies immediately increased their publicity efforts!

Let the theaters after the Lunar New Year festival finally become a little more lively.

……

Guan Ling negotiated the details with Wen Ziren and others.

Warner finally gave Guan Ling face. They were very interested in the "Aquaman" project. They finally made concessions to the director and allowed James Wan to direct it, but the premise was that it must be like "Inception", with the addition of Guan Ling's name.

Guan Ling was happy to hear this.

James Wan was quite dissatisfied at first, when he heard that Warner was willing to invest hundreds of millions of dollars for DC Comics this time.

James Wan is completely honest.

Guan Ling made it clear that he had little interest in directing the film, so Warner accepted to share the risk.

They only took three-fifths of the investment amount. $96 million investment.

Guan Ling's Skyline and Lionsgate Pictures jointly accounted for two-fifths of the investment share.

Guan Ling and James Wan co-directed, but Wan Ziren is the main controller, and Guan Ling is in name only.

Warner Times doesn't care whether Guan Ling participates or not. They only need Guan's name on the director's name.

Afterwards, Guan Ling went to Lionsgate Movies to sit for a while.

During this time, the relationship with Frank was a little less close.

But Frank was satisfied.

Because he knew that Guan Lingzhi was not in Hollywood, which was why the two of them cooperated more than they competed.

"Guan, congratulations."

Frank stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window holding a wine glass.

"When you and I communicated last year, I didn't expect you to spend more time on Chinese movies so quickly. I thought it would take a few years."

“When I was in China before, I heard a saying from a rich man in China.

The Chinese film industry is an unexplored blue ocean.

I admit that until now, Hollywood is still the pinnacle of world cinema, but perhaps one day it will be surpassed by the Chinese film market. "

Guan Ling also stood in front of Frank.

The two chatted leisurely.

"I don't see any hope yet," Frank said, "I saw it at the China Film Market last year. How much was the box office?"

"It just passed more than 13 billion."

"With such a large population, the market is only worth more than 10 billion yuan." Frank said, "I admit that the Chinese market is an indispensable market, but now, I think it may not be worth your distraction."

"Guan, you should use your abilities. You are one of the few directors who can at least let two giants sit at the negotiating table, even in Hollywood."

Frank looked at Guan Ling with sincere eyes.

"We have already won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Don't you really try to stay in Hollywood for a few more years? Lionsgate will also have many new projects to launch during this period. Although we have an agreement, as long as you are willing, our Resources, Motian Lingyun can also invest.”

"Without one link, the skyscraper will not stop functioning." Guan Ling said, "I will come to Hollywood, but at least for now, this is not my complete purpose."

Frank patted Guan Ling on the shoulder regretfully.

"I don't understand your feelings. I'm a banker, you know. I only like money."

"I actually don't like money that much." Guan Ling looked at the tall buildings under the floor-to-ceiling windows. Each building seemed to reflect the dazzling sunlight.

"I liked money when I had no money. But now, I find that I have never liked money. I am not interested in money." Guan Ling said,

"My happiest time seemed to be when I won the lottery before I made my first movie. At that time, I knew that I would be able to make movies soon.

My former classmates and senior sisters all have to be the actors I choose.

I can also do something for Chinese films. "

Frank rolled his eyes.

"You can't even pretend to be that good."

You really don’t like money, why don’t you just give Motian Lingyun to me?
I can't stand it any longer.

……

Warner Times.

"The post-production of "Inception" has reached the final stage." Nolan and Guan Ling were chatting at the scene.

"If nothing else happens, the production will be completed in April, and then you will make the final confirmation. If nothing else happens, it will be ready for release at any time after passing the review."

"When the time comes, North America will all depend on you?" Guan Ling said.

"No problem, but Leonardo, Liu and others, my suggestion is to participate in the publicity of both sides." Nolan said, "You know, many people in North America like crstal, and many people in China also like Love Leon.”

"no problem."

Guan Ling said.

"I heard that you discussed a new project with Warner? The investment is very high, and you are not ready to shoot it yourself?"

Nolan is still more concerned about Guan Ling's new movie.

"Yeah. A superhero movie."

"I'm looking forward to it." Nolan smiled. "I would like to know whether your superhero is stronger or my Batman is stronger."

……

mid March.

As the news of Guan Ling's return to China began to spread slowly.

Many people in the country are beginning to prepare to welcome the return of Mainland China's number one director.

Before leaving, a piece of news appeared on the American entertainment industry news.

Later, this news was reprinted on the Chinese Internet.

Not long after, a piece of news that made everyone crazy was suddenly announced on Internet portals, major forums, and Weibo.

"Guan has negotiated a large-scale production with Fox and Warner each. The investment in both movies exceeds 100 million US dollars.

It is reported that both films are in preparation.

One of them may be directed by the famous director James Wan, who has collaborated with Ferris Lingyun.

As for the other film, according to reliable sources, the female lead actor may be Fan Bingbing. "

The news had no beginning or end, but it involved Guan Ling, so it quickly became a hot search topic.

Fan Bingbing was very popular during this period, and Guan Ling was even more ridiculously popular.

The two people weighted each other, making the hot searches on the Internet gradually become the climax of people's heated discussions.

Netizens' emotions exploded.

Finally, Director Guan is finally opening up again!

And what shocked the industry the most was that Guan Ling was able to negotiate terms with the giants and choose a director.

Even casting.

Especially the one that, according to reliable information, may be identified as Fan Bingbing.

It makes people laugh even more.

Netizens launched a heated discussion online, and most people believed that the news was wrong.

Or maybe Fan Bingbing's team is just using this incident to create excitement.

"Fan Bingbing? You won't leave until you leave. Now you want to fly to Hollywood. With a heroine worth hundreds of millions of dollars, you can have everything in your dream!"

"Hahaha, it's so funny. I acted in "Apple" and now I dare to speculate like this. I'm careful to move a rock and hit myself in the foot."

Everyone doesn't believe it.

Submit Bingbing, the heroine with hundreds of millions of dollars of investment?
Who believes it?
Director Guan praises Liu Yifei enough, right?

Now, in addition to that "Inception", the movies starring Liu Yifei have hundreds of millions of dollars in investment?
No, then does Fan Bingbing match up?
Everyone in the industry knows very well that when Director Guan praises Liu Yifei, he really does.

TV series, movies, Hollywood, everything is arranged.

Fan Bingbing, apart from that "Di Renjie", where else is Guan Ling's arrangement?

The industry is discussing the joy of

Guan Ling didn't take it seriously at all.

Some Chinese media in the United States met Guan Ling, and the interview was very direct.

"Director Guan, China recently reprinted a news in the United States, claiming that you will cooperate with Time Warner and Fox on a movie each. Is it true?"

"of course."

"Then I would like to ask you, do you want the protagonist of one of the films to be Fan Bingbing?"

Guan Ling nodded.

"Yes."

This interview segment lasts only a few seconds.

Guan Ling answered decisively, and his expression was three-quarters plain, three-cent calm, and four-cent careless.

However, when this video was transferred back to China.

In an instant, the Chinese film industry exploded.

……

When Fan Bingbing got the news, it was her brother Fan Chengcheng who called.

"Sister, watch the news. Look!"

The link sent by his younger brother surprised Fan Bingbing.

When he opened it, Fan Bingbing looked at the news confirmed by Guan Ling.

There was silence for a moment.

After that, Mu Xiaoguang frantically smashed Fan Bingbing's bedroom door outside.

open the door.

Mu Xiaoguang's eyes were full of excitement, "Bingbing, you are done."

"Yes, I am."

Fan Bingbing's eyes suddenly became moist when he saw the confirmed news.

She thought of the moments when she left Huayi.

Thinking of the humiliation she suffered in Hollywood during the filming of "2012".

To be a cow.

Also want to be a horse.

I also thought that during the Spring Festival, she went from Qingdao to Decheng just to have sex in the car with her knees naked.

Thinking of the South China tiger.

Thinking of the blue and white porcelain.

Everything that happened in the past is vivid in my mind.

And all of this is worth it, isn't it?
Fan Bingbing took out his mobile phone.

Start sending text messages to Guan Ling.

What happened to being a cow and a horse? I'm going to Hollywood now to prepare for my $100 million-plus heroine movie.

Are you okay?

Fan Bingbing's cell phone was almost smoking.

"Director Guan, Qi Qi Qi... Qi Qi Qi is so mad at me!"

……

Li Bingbing learned the news.

On my balcony. This is the twenty-second floor of the capital. The scenery outside is noisy and bustling, with dazzling lights everywhere.

"why?"

Li Bingbing screamed helplessly outside.

"Why?!"

What can I not do that Fan Bingbing can do?

But why am I the chicken that was killed to scare the monkeys?

In just two years, the development has been completely different.

The other party has already landed in Hollywood, and he went there with absolute momentum.

But I am still in the quagmire of Huayi.

Unable to cope with myself.

Li Bingbing looked at Guan Ling's mobile phone number on his phone.

The drunkenness washed over her.

She wanted to make a phone call, but the remaining consciousness and the cold wind blowing made her slightly awake again.

So, she sent a text message.

"Director Guan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

I shouldn't have stopped you in the first place.

I shouldn't influence you to get on the plane.

I shouldn't have asked for the role, I was wrong. I just hope that in the future, Director Guan, you can give me a little chance, even one in ten thousand.

For this ten thousandth, I can do anything.

I can……"

Finished sending the text message.

Li Bingbing leaned against the glass window of the balcony, completely hidden in the night.

……

When the industry exploded.

Mother Liu also exploded.

The frantic phone call came over.

When Liu Yifei answered the phone, she was still a little confused.

Mother Liu's voice came over like a machine gun.

"I asked you to be optimistic about Guan Ling, and I asked you to be optimistic about Guan Ling. Did someone take advantage of you?
Why was such a good role not given to you but given to Fan Bingbing?
What does it have to do with the fact that these two people have rice?
......"

After a moment of chatter, Mother Liu was stunned by Liu Yifei.

After she explained what was going on, Mother Liu remembered to comfort her: "Feifei, now, is your heart frozen?"

Liu Yifei suddenly became angry.

Bingbing, Bingbing, your sister, Bingbing!

Liu Yifei immediately picked up her mobile phone to look at the air tickets. She decided to make a hole today!
