China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 308 Cannes nomination news, Guan Ling is here again? !
(Modification completed, refresh to view)

"Director Guan, is there a second part of this source code? I didn't mention it when we were talking about it before."

Han Sanpin's call arrived late.

"There is a second part, but the script is really not written."

"Just write it down."

Han Sanpin urged urgently.

"I have to go to Cannes next, so I don't have time." Guan Ling said, "Let's talk about it later."

Han Sanpin thought for a while, "Okay, it's time to get busy next. The dry season in March and April is over, and the rest is the rainy season."

The Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony will begin soon, followed by the Cannes Film Festival in France, and then the Shanghai International Film Festival will begin.

Guan Ling brought excitement to the industry.

But at this time, Guan Ling was still paying attention to the results of "Source Code".

Moreover, Tian Zhuangzhuang also discovered that he was not suitable for commercial movies.

Guan Ling gestured comfortably to talk about it later.

"Hey, Teacher Huang, have you seen enough of the little golden man? Let's take a look some more."

Tian Zhuangzhuang's waist is no longer sore, his legs are no longer painful, and he can walk with more energy.

The box office performance was extremely poor.

The heroine of the TV series "The Beginning" is the best choice to support newcomers.

But since the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film last month came to Nortel.

In fact, if you throw out "Shendu Dragon King" and "Source Code".

More people in the industry have clearly seen the gap between themselves and Guan Guan.

With the release of the first-day box office of "Du Lala's Promotion".

After all, there is a young apprentice, and this old guy was completely photographed on the beach, which made Tian Zhuangzhuang a little embarrassed before.

The source code 2 mentioned by Guan Ling is of course true, and it is still the original team.

Facing inquiries from the industry.

Many agents in the industry have set their sights on that TV series.

The industry was also shocked because of what Guan Ling said about "Source Code 2" and TV series of the same type.

A while ago, whenever he saw someone in the circle, Tian Zhuangzhuang wanted to go over and say hello.

"Guan Ling claimed that he will prepare a TV series similar to "Source Code". According to industry estimates, although this type of TV is not the first time in Chinese TV series, it is innovative enough. It may bring a new science fiction trend to Chinese TV series."

Tian Zhuangzhuang just completed two films of his own last year, one was "Wolf Disaster" co-produced with the Japanese, and the other was a supervised film "Precious Secret".

tired.

But Xu Jinglei didn’t think so.

"Have you heard? The Oscar statuette is now in the Nortel Exhibition Hall."

……

Huang Lixing drives piles every day, but he is like a ruthless pile-driving machine.

It is a downpour that changes from the dry season to the rainy season.

"Source Code" is in reverse decline.

……

I can't wait to rush in front of Guan Ling now and want to ask about the character.

The first-day box office of "Dulala" was not bad.

Ask around for information.

Beijing Film Academy.

Then he called Na Zha.

So he is not planning to make a movie this year.

This made Xu Jinglei not even in the mood for sex or love these past two days.

It's like eating a lid within a lid and climbing to the sixth floor in one breath, effortlessly.

Many actors were excited to death.

After all, this result almost predicts that her movie may exceed 100 million.

Even as a female director, Xu Jinglei's box office can even make her stand out among other directors.

Some reporters also continued to question Guan Ling, wanting to know more about the TV series.

This was a movie released in 2025 in its previous life. At that time, it also achieved box office miracles with its sentiments and superb creativity.

Even if the hand-to-hand fight between himself and Huang Lixing was used as a gimmick, the box office of "Du Lala" only took over 8 million on the first day.

"My student Guan Ling is going to release a science fiction movie, have you heard?"

In the past few days, Tian Zhuangzhuang not only seemed to have eaten Gaizhonggai, but also seemed to have taken Shenbao tablets.

The whole person looked completely unseemly.

"The father of Chinese science fiction movies, Guan Ling. I am his grandfather of Chinese science fiction movies."

"Teacher Huang, have you watched "Source Code"? You didn't take your wife to watch the movie. You young man really doesn't understand taste."

No, Tian Zhuangzhuang started pacing around Beidian again.

"Quick, hurry up."

"Teacher Tian is about to catch us talking eloquently again, run!"

Throughout the Nortel campus, when they saw Tian Zhuangzhuang's figure, all the teachers in the school ran away in a hurry.

"These people don't understand style."

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked inside the campus, and there were banners about Guan Ling everywhere.

Suddenly there was a feeling.

It's so cold at high places.

Apart from anything else, at least Guan Ling is in the school now, which is a complete myth.

Walking humming a little tune.

Tian Zhuangzhuang walked and arrived at the office of the principal of Nortel.

As soon as he entered the door, the leader sitting above him saw Tian Zhuangzhuang. He immediately sat upright and moved his butt forward, leaving his buttocks half-stretched on the chair.

"Director Tian, ​​are you here again?"

"Yes, Yo, Yo, Yo." Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "Has the principal read the recent "Source Code"?"

"not yet."

"It's said online that this is the most powerful science fiction movie in China right now."

Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "I think our school should organize a seminar to discuss and study."

"Director Tian, ​​the results of commercial science fiction films are so good. Is there any need to study it?"

"Why is it not necessary? These are our outstanding students from Nortel."

"I know, but it can't be held every day. For commercial films, it doesn't make much difference whether there are meetings or not."

"I still think we should." Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't listen at all.

"Director Tian, ​​you have made several trips this day. If you have anything to say, just say it." The principal's scalp was numb.

Go against Tiangang!
I won't call you.

You come to me every day!
"What's the matter? I'm just taking a walk. I'll go to the school party committee again."

"Don't, don't." The principal broke into sweat. "I know, Director Tian, ​​that you want to take the golden man back. I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you. Don't bother me anymore. I still have a lot of administrative matters to do."

The principal never wanted to give back this golden man.

But I really can’t stand Tian Zhuangzhuang wandering around every day.

"Whoever wants the Little Golden Man, I'm here to show you around." The principal did not expect that Tian Zhuangzhuang would not accept the offer.

"How about Nortel do an interview to promote Director Xiaguan's great achievements at Nortel?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang picked up the statuette and turned away.

"Let's go, I'm a little tired, go back and rest."

The principal felt numb as he watched Tian Zhuangzhuang walk away quickly.

This teacher really loves his students.

……

Jingtian didn't know that Guan Ling had already chosen the heroine of the TV series "The Beginning".

She didn't even know that the TV series Guan Ling wanted to film was called "The Beginning".

But as soon as the news came out.

Jingtian soon became indifferent to food and drink, and became a little nervous when filming every day.

At the moment, Jingtian is filming a movie called "My Beautiful Boss", and a group of veteran actors are supporting her.

In between takes.

Jingtian originally wanted to contact Lu Zheng.

But after thinking about it, he still called Guan Ling.

"Hello, Director Guan. I'm Jingtian."

"The news and characters you mentioned about TV..."

"You've made your choice, right? Okay, thank you."

"...What?" "Really?"

"I do, I do!"

After hanging up the phone, Jingtian realized what had just happened.

She actually received an invitation from Guan Ling to film the heroine of a TV series for his company.

Although it is not a TV series similar to "Source Code".

But this still made Jingtian jump up with excitement.

Director Guan's film and television works, even if they are TV series, are great!
And it’s the most fragrant resource in the industry!

……

"Director Guan, congratulations. "Source Code" is also a hit in the United States."

Guan Ling received a call from Cheng Long.

The North American opening weekend box office of "Source Code" has finally been released.

It grossed $41 million in its opening weekend.

Directly winning this week's North American opening weekend championship.

Cheng Long was immediately frightened by this news.

That's even better than "Taken" did.

"I got the message."

"But you certainly didn't realize how big of a sensation this movie was in the United States."

Cheng Long's voice continued to come out,

"It has a 90% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an IMDB score of 8.0. American viewers claim that these eight minutes made everyone want to die."

"Americans really know how to use words, and they still want to die."

"You know, Americans always love more hypotheses and paradoxes. Although this movie is like new wine in an old bottle, for Americans, it is also an unveiling of unknown territory, enough to make them think crazy. . If you don’t believe me, just listen:”

"Hollywood's most exciting sci-fi of the year! Guan's new work hits North American theaters!"

"The best thriller science fiction of the year! This film tells the story of a dead man trying to save Hongkong from a nuclear disaster. It is full of suspense, beautifully made, and a classic horror work!" - The New Yorker.

"A very clever sci-fi thriller, which is a huge fan of the audience!" - The Detroit News.

"This sci-fi thriller has aroused widespread public attention since its release. It is an amazing and excellent blockbuster!" - "San Francisco Chronicle".

Cheng Long read several news headlines to Guan Ling.

Although the news in these American media is relatively restrained.

But from Cheng Long's words, Guan Ling could feel that this movie had attracted widespread attention from film critics even in the United States.

It even aroused tireless interpretation by the public.

Whether it's box office or attendance.

It undoubtedly reflects the word heavy.

In fact, even Americans have not figured out why this Chinese film would directly create such a big miracle in the United States.

Isn’t the personal heroism in this movie one of America’s favorite styles?

Finished talking about movies.

Cheng Long talked about Wang Baoqiang again.

"I told you, Director Guan, are you robbing me?"

Cheng Long said with a smile over there.

"I asked Baoqiang and he said he wanted to sign with your company."

"I did tell him that in some scenes, he is quite important."

"It's very appropriate for Baoqiang to be a prime supporting role," Cheng Long nodded, "It's a pity that I got the first prize first, and you took the lead."

"You have a role, just call him." Guan Ling was not polite.

"But in my case, what I want him to play is not a supporting role."

"Is there a new play?" This statement made Cheng Long very interested.

"Yes, but I'm not ready to shoot it yet." Guan Ling said, "Let's talk about it in two years."

If a movie like "Detective Chinatown" is shot and released now, it is obvious that it does not have as much box office potential as if it were shot and released in the future.

After hanging up the phone.

Only then did Guan Ling remember that he hadn't given Wang Baoqiang a publicity ceremony yet.

Although his agent has signed a contract with Wang Baoqiang.

But now in the circle.

Some people don't know yet.

After all, Bao Qiang went to film "Unfortunately" and didn't give any interviews during this time.

……

"Wang Baoqiang signed a contract with Lingyun Media, a Huayi actor once again jumped to another company, and the Wang brothers were slapped in the face again."

"After Wang Baoqiang gained huge popularity in "My Brother Is Shunliu", joining Lingyun Media this time may be an opportunity for Wang Baoqiang to appear on the big screen."

Wang Baoqiang’s signing with Lingyun Media has aroused heated discussion on the Internet.

And at the same time.

The conclusion of the Hong Kong Film Awards at the Hong Kong Cultural Center also aroused heated discussions in the industry.

The nomination of "Under the Red Cliff" for Best Picture is enough for the industry to criticize him.

As a result, "October Siege" won six awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Action Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Film Music.

It completely made many viewers unable to hold their nerves.

The comment "Hong Kong film is dead, burn paper if something happens!" instantly swept the Internet.

Last year, the annual production of Hong Kong films hit a record low, with no more than 50 films shot.

This has never happened in more than sixty years since 1947.

The words of director Chen Kexin of "October Siege" on stage caused quite an uproar.

"I think there is no such thing as a Hong Kong movie, a Mainland movie or even a co-production. The only thing that makes a movie good is whether it is good to watch or not, and whether you can understand it or not. You can classify it as a 'Hong Kong movie', but for me, these four The word is not necessary."

Are you flattering and slapping horses' hooves?
As a director who has long gone to the mainland to co-produce, Chen Kexin's remarks caused an uproar.

It gave a heavy blow to many Hong Kong film directors.

……

But the beating of Hong Kong movies is not over yet.

As the nominations for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival are announced.

The industry instantly fell into silence again.

Many films from China were submitted for review, and only "Father Trapped in Time" was finally shortlisted for the main competition unit. "Rizhao Chongqing", which Wang Xiaoshuai had been preparing for a long time, was only shortlisted for the attention unit.

Same as Jia Zhangke's "Legend of the Sea".

And Johnnie To's "The King" was not even qualified to be shortlisted.

The only Hong Kong director failed again in Cannes.

The Chinese-language films that shined in Cannes last year were obviously much weaker this year.

As soon as the news came out, the Chinese film industry felt a little lonely.

But Guan Ling's film was once again shortlisted for the main competition.

But the competitors in the main competition unit were full of vigilance.

“Last year’s Palme d’Or winner is here again this year?”

"Guan? You've never finished riding a horse, right? Three times in three years? Wtf???!!"

Many directors participating in Cannes were completely confused.

A quick shooter is a quick shooter. The key is that you don't have too many commercial films.

Why are you here again? !

But the situation in Cannes is obviously not over yet.

April 23rd.

"Rizhao Chongqing" received a notice from the Cannes Organizing Committee and was re-submitted to the main competition.

This created the only time in the history of Cannes that a film was promoted.

There was an instant uproar online.

""Father Trapped in Time" and "Rizhao Chongqing" are shortlisted for the main competition. Can Chinese-language films once again attack the Cannes Grand Prix?!"

"Guan Ling and Wang Xiaoshuai are competing on the same stage. The two films are expected to compete for the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival."

"The darling of Cannes? Qin Hao will go to the Cannes Film Festival again after "Green Red" and "Spring Breeze Night"!"

With three films and three films in the main competition, Qin Hao directly became the mainland actor who participated in Cannes the most.

People online have great confidence in Guan Ling.

Confidence in Qin Hao is not low either.

The news from Cannes, finally accompanied by the announcement of the shortlisted films, has become the hottest thing in the industry.

Second only to the crazy box office of "Source Code".

In the two weeks since it was released, the mainland box office of "Source Code" has exceeded 4.3 million!
It completely blinded everyone's eyes.
