China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 319 Controversy and public opinion, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is!
(modified)
"Guan, I know it's controversial that you didn't win the last two awards, but I am really optimistic about the movie "Uncle Boonmee."

After the awards ceremony, there was a dinner in Cannes.

Burton raised his red wine glass and smiled at Guan Ling.

"I can't deny that I voted for this movie against all the odds. More than one person on the jury thought this movie made people sleepy. I know it all."

Burton didn't want to be an enemy of Guan Ling. Guan Ling, who had won so many awards at such a young age, was someone everyone at the scene needed to make friends with.

This is already the absolute top director in the world.

However, outside public opinion grew stronger, and Burton still took the initiative to show his goodwill.

"I understand that this kind of thing is inherently subjective," Guan Ling said. "Don't worry, no matter what the external public opinion is, the matter has already happened, and I will not intensify this controversy."

Guan Ling had regrets in his heart, but not too much.

If the Palme d'Or was really that easy to get, then it would be impossible for China to only have two for so many years.

Although Guan Ling has never seen the movie "Uncle Boonmee", Guan Ling can tell from the reviews on local forums that he likes this movie very much.

After all, it is a shooting technique that integrates Buddhism and reincarnation into the movie.

This kind of work is too bold, too different, and full of a mysterious temperament.

Experiments with imaging techniques create a mysterious atmosphere, connecting ancient and modern history, the worlds of humans and ghosts, and natural society. It not only contains the mystery of reincarnation, but also criticizes political reality.

Compared to Burton, this is simply his favorite style.

Burton's Gothic style is mainly about love mixed with darkness, and there are many private goods. Guan Ling has also seen one or two of them. Although Guan Ling does not accept the style, Burton is also one of the directors with high box office in the world. One.

In short, his movies can be substituted into dark versions of fairy tales, which is easy to understand.

"Thank you so much Guan."

Burton didn't expect Guan Ling to be so easy to talk to, so he chatted with Guan Ling about his views on the "Shoplifters" movie.

So he has his own views on movies like "Shoplifters". He thinks it is also a dark family version.

Guan Ling was noncommittal about his interpretation.

But Tim Burton really wanted to become good friends with Guan Ling, and even chatted with Guan Ling about some secrets.

"I admit, I really like the movie "Uncle Boonmee," but even if it weren't for me, this year's Palme d'Or won't be about you."

"What do you mean? Is it because I got it last year?"

Guan Ling was quite surprised.

"These words only came out of my mouth today, and then ended up in your ears. I will definitely not admit it afterwards."

Burton said with a smile, "Winning the Palme d'Or twice in a row is not a big deal. It is mainly one of this year's awards. It must be a Thai film. Even if it is not Cannes, it will be Venice."

"?"

"What is happening in Thailand needs to be seen by the world."

Burton patted Guan Ling on the shoulder, left these words and left.

Guan Ling compared the differences and found out after searching.

The battle between the Yellow Shirt Army and the Red Shirt Army is fierce. In terms of certain political factors, Thailand has simply scored a big score this year.

Off-site factors are absolutely favorable. At this stall, on the premise that the quality is pretty good, Thailand’s national symbol still needs to be “honored”.

During the banquet, many foreign actors also came to greet Guan Ling and express their hope of collaborating in the future.

But in fact, Guan Ling can no longer distinguish some of the faces clearly.

Scott, the director of "Robin Hood", came temporarily during the award ceremony and took the initiative to walk up to Guan Ling.

"Guan, I didn't expect that my movie would have to compete with you. This is not good news for me."

"Robin Hood" is scheduled to be released on June 6, and Guan Ling's "Father" is also scheduled to be released on June 11.

This kind of fate is not funny to Scott.

Playing against Guan Ling at Guan Ling's home court, Scott had nothing to struggle with.

Especially after the negative reviews of the movie "Robin Hood" at the opening ceremony, Scott felt even more numb.

"I don't want to meet your epic movie either. After all, I am a literary person." Guan Ling also praised him.

But after hearing these words in Scott's ears, his face instantly dropped.

What should I do if I feel like he is scolding me?
But it seems that there are no curse words.

"That doesn't sound right." Scott drank a glass of wine and swallowed the bitter pill alive.

That is to say, Scott has not watched "Tiny Times", otherwise he would have said something strange at this time, "Director Guan, you are so advanced in cursing now!"

The awards dinner in Cannes was very grand, but after that, although Qin Hao and others came over to chat with Guan Ling, the people surrounding Guan Ling were all big guys.

No one will stay any longer.

Guan Ling had both sides at the dinner.

But You Benchang, who had been ignored by no one before, was now receiving greetings from many people at home and abroad.

"You, your acting skills are really amazing!"

"You, your acceptance speech was so touching. Did Guan really say that to you at that time? Did he want to take you to Cannes and win the Oscar?"

"Are you feeling well?"

"Mr. You, when will you return to China?" Jia Zhangke also came over to join in the fun.

You Benchang had many emotions in his heart, but had nothing to say.

There are really more and more good people around.

Although Guan Ling and Burton had learned the truth of the matter in a short exchange, the Chinese media was already excited.

The domestic film and television industry, major platforms, forums and forums are all undergoing a hunt for Thai films.

Of course, there is also the regret that Guan Ling failed to win the Palme d'Or again, and the excitement that You Benchang won the Best Actor!

A news torrent has swept through the industry.

……

"Director Guan Ling helped You Benchang win the Best Actor Award at Cannes for "Father Trapped in Time," but his failure to win the Palme d'Or led to a huge controversy at Cannes."

"The movie was played to a packed house, cries resounded throughout Cannes, "The Father" lost the Palme d'Or, is there another hidden story?"

“Tim Burton’s personal style, likes and dislikes, or is it the influence of Thailand’s civil war? The Palme d’Or went to Thailand instead!”

"You Benchang burst into tears at Cannes, claiming that when Director Guan invited him, he said he would take him to Cannes and the Oscars!"

"Extremely confident! An award that you can grab?! You Benchang's acceptance speech revealed more details. How scary is Guan Ling?!"

"All the major officials left in the early morning. Congratulations to Guan Ling for helping You Benchang win the Best Actor at Cannes!"

"The official conclusion of the Golden Eagle Awards. Congratulations to actor You Benchang for winning the Cannes Best Actor Award at the 4th Golden Eagle Awards."

The media reports are overwhelming, but most of them are carried away.

In particular, the fate of the Golden Eagle Awards Weibo has made many people unable to hold back.

The best actor from decades ago went out of his way to say that the Golden Eagle Award was really shameless.

For Guan Ling, not winning the Palme d'Or is not a big deal. You Benchang's Best Actor at Cannes really messed up the entire industry for a while, but for actors in the entire industry, this is undoubtedly a huge earthquake.

How old is Teacher You Benchang?

Even if his acting skills are better, if director Guan asked him to be the best actor, he would do it.

How awesome is this!

Many actors are going crazy with jealousy right now!

……

"Director Guan is awesome."

Yin Tao's call came not too late, since he was reopened by Guan Ling in the capital this time.

Yin Tao also probably thought it through.

Isn't the reason why you are attracted to being pursued by Sun Xihai because he is rich and powerful?

She would definitely not even consider switching to a small group.

But since we have to choose like this, there is no harm in choosing Guan Ling.

At least young.

When piling, it can perfectly match your age group.

When I was in my thirties, I met him when he was twenty...

And if you have the opportunity, you can also use Guan Ling's hand to find a role that suits you. Everything goes so smoothly.

Just thinking about it puts a smile on Yin Tao's face.

……

In the hotel where the crew of "I Am a Witness" was filming, Liu Sisi saw that Guan Ling did not win the award.

I felt a little sorry for Guan Ling in my heart.

She didn't understand the twists and turns.

But she wanted Guan Ling to win all the awards.

But what dazzled Liu Sisi the most was Liu Yifei's appearance at Cannes.

“Back then, I had to rely on your shadow for publicity.

And now the person I like is also by your side.

What is the magic power of you? Liu Sisi said these words silently, but if someone could hear her, they could hear the gnashing of teeth in her mouth.

In Liu Sisi's heart, it was mind-numbing for Liu Yifei to stand next to Guan Ling in Cannes, which made her feel a bit like a substitute.

This feeling is very unsettling.

Liu Si thought for a long time, took photos of himself dancing and sent them to Guan Ling.

One word horse.

This is a posture that has never been used before.

It was also an invitation letter sent to Guan Ling.

It means that Director Guan will return to China as soon as possible, and my door will be wide open.

The flower path has never been...

Just waiting for you to come.

……

"Finished! Originally our comedy film still had a chance, but now that Director Guan has won the Best Actor at Cannes, the publicity is nothing.

With this schedule and attendance rate, are you sure you won’t be crushed? ! "

Sun Honglei called Li Weiran, the director of "Battle of Shama Town".

"Why panic? We have Lin Zhiling."

"It's no use even if Lin Zhiling takes off his clothes."

Sun Honglei and Li Weiran's answers were relatively vulgar, but they were definitely exciting. Anyone who said it directly to Li Weiran was numb.

After waiting for a long time, Li Weiran finally moved his lips, "Didn't the literary film "Shoplifters" last year only cost less than 200 million?"

"How enjoyable is our comedy?"

Sun Honglei directly asked the creative staff,

Yes, how much comedy can leverage Guan Ling's movie?
Forget it, don't think about this anymore, just go to sleep.

Li Weiran couldn't figure it out, so he simply lay down.

……

Also a little panicked at this moment was Li Lianjie.

"I discovered that whenever I see a movie that I particularly like, Director Guan will mess with me, and it seems that he comes specifically for me every time."

Li Lianjie was completely speechless.

"Maybe it's a coincidence?" Wen Zhang looked at the father in his play and couldn't help but said with some luck.

"Of course I know it's a coincidence, but for me, it's just such bad luck that I can't say anything about it."

Li Lianjie said with a smile.

"Why don't you go worship Buddha? I call Bodhisattva every day and I haven't shouted it out to others yet."

The article said.

Li Lianjie said, "I don't think it's because the Bodhisattva didn't come."

"what is that?"

"I think there is a ghost in Guan Ling."

Jet Li couldn't laugh or cry. June 6 this year was originally the release date of his movie "Ocean Paradise".

He has already seen the finished film.

Compared with many pretentious and sensational films, this film is full of craftsmanship, but it is not artificial or deliberate. It can be said to be smooth and smooth.

After watching this movie, the article said that my performance in this movie was excellent. He said that he gave up martial arts and started acting in feature films, and his acting skills were absolutely good.

This is not completely flattering, because Jet Li also watched it. Even he himself thought the film acted well on its own.

And it can be said to be the absolute tear-sucking blockbuster of the year!

June 6th happens to be Father's Day. In Jet Li's heart, he thinks his movie is definitely a good one!

He even thought that there wouldn't be another film in the remaining six months that could make people cry so much!
Although the director of this movie is relatively small, every department has big casts, from photography to editing to music, all are big casts, and these big casts are completely incompetent in this film, no one stands out. All departments are perfect, it’s not easy.

Because of this, the various departments in this movie worked together to create an excellent chemical reaction!
Originally, Li Lianjie was waiting for him to win the Best Actor Award.

As a result, it bumped into "Father Trapped in Time".

It doesn't hurt to bump into gears.

But after all, it’s all about the father.

There is always mutual influence.

But at this moment, Li Lianjie not only felt numb in his scalp, but also felt numb in his heart.

Guan Ling has always had a distinguished record, but the domestic box office market for literary and artistic films is currently like this, and it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

A real touch,
Originally, I wanted to compete with Guan Ling.

As far as literary and artistic films are concerned, literature is not the first, and martial arts is not the second.

But now that he is doing this, Li Lianjie is not happy.

The schedule is the same, the genre is the same, are you the leading actor or the Best Actor at Cannes?

wqnmlgb!

This is what Li Lianjie really feels at this moment.

Have fun! Can't play!
"If I had known, I wouldn't have put it in June!" Li Lianjie was really speechless.

Are you awesome?

Awesome.

How about meeting Cannes Best Actor You Benchang?

Idiot!
Li Lianjie's heart was filled with a helpless smile.

……

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were slightly shocked.

These two people seem to have developed immunity to Guan Ling in the past few years.

Now hearing how awesome Guan Ling is, the fluctuations in the hearts of the two of them are not the biggest.

But one kind.

That's how it should be!

That's how it should be!

The inner os.

And Feng Xiaogang, who was having fun with them at the moment, even laughed it off.

"Fortunately, I knelt down quickly, otherwise Guan Ling would have had to tell me that instead of surrendering, the enemy dared to fight back at me!"

……

"Director Tian, ​​there is something I need to ask you to help me with."

Before dawn, Tian Zhuangzhuang received an urgent call.

"Director Li, tell me."

The person opposite is Li Shaohong.

So when he answered the phone, Tian Zhuangzhuang roughly knew what the other party was going to say.

"...Guan Ling has not yet joined the Chinese Film Directors Association." Li Shaohong said, "Can you trouble me?"

"I have to ask." Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "I asked before and he doesn't like this sense of restraint. Especially when a large number of people from the older generation are in front of him, he feels uncomfortable."

"Now if he doesn't go in, I will be the one who feels uncomfortable."

Li Shaohong said, "I have seen that some people's public opinions have rushed to the association's Weibo. Asking why Guan Ling did not join the association, this makes me, the president, really have no place to put my old face."

"I can only try my best to help you ask. I can't guarantee the details." Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't want to offend anyone.

"That would be nice of you to ask."

Li Shaohong let out a sigh of relief.

She is also from Nortel, but compared to Tian Zhuangzhuang, her relationship with Guan Ling is definitely not that close.

But now there is no Guan Ling in the Chinese Film Directors Association, which makes the association look like a joke.

After all, among all Chinese directors, Guan Ling is the absolute number one!

"The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry." Li Shaohong muttered silently in his heart.

Li Shaohong had invited him before, but Guan Ling didn't go in.

And when she looked at the thatched cottage three times, she definitely couldn't hold back this old face, but this time, she really couldn't stand it anymore.

Won the Grand Prix at Cannes for two consecutive years.

If he doesn't go in, those old guys in the association will really be embarrassed and sent to their grandma's house!

If it weren't for their age and qualifications, they would be nothing!
Letting Guan Ling in would not bring much benefit to Guan Ling.

But let them change their names to be more legitimate! That's all!
