China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 321 My Neighbor is My Granary! A Movie That Will Refresh Your World!

Guan Ling's return to China has long been watched by various media, but in the first half of this year, major directors did not produce much news.

The most popular ones are of course "The Message", "Source Code" and Cannes!

This was all done by Guan Ling.

The only film not produced by Guan Ling that is worth mentioning is probably the Hong Kong Film Award-winning "Time and Tide", which changed the image of Hong Kong's thrilling police-robbery shootouts or the happy revenge of the gangster world, and instead moved people with emotions, making it real and delicate.

It is a rare masterpiece.

And beyond that,
Brother Chen Kai, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen and others are sharpening their knives and showing their fangs.
Feng Xiaogang's "Aftershock" is scheduled to be released in mid-August, and it has been relatively quiet.

In fact, Feng Xiaogang originally wanted to set the date as July 7th.

This time is actually the date more than 30 years ago.

However, the release date of "Inception" had already been leaked in the industry, and since Guan Ling did not obviously target anyone, the news naturally reached Feng Xiaogang's ears.

So he decisively chose the August schedule.

Are you kidding? Comparing the box office with Guan Ling, he must be mentally ill!

So in the past few months, the person who provided news to most entertainment media was Guan Ling herself.

This time, You Benchang won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival, which shocked the industry.

The first thing, of course, was winning the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival.

But subsequent news developments in the country caused public opinion in the country to go completely crazy.

The incident originated from the banner incident at Beijing Film Academy, on the day that You Benchang won the Best Actor Award at Cannes.

The banner propaganda of Beijing Film Academy swept Weibo, and countless students of Beijing Film Academy began to cheer for their deafening seniors, claiming that their seniors were awesome.

Claims that all the Cannes Palme d'Or awards went to Beijing Film Academy.

He claimed that everyone in the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy was garbage.

The school did not take any action for this. At the beginning, it was just the students bragging, and it was harmless.

But the Shanghai Theatre Academy is proud of itself, You Benchang, from the Shanghai Theatre Academy!

So the banners quickly swept across the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and even the official social media of the Shanghai Theatre Academy sent congratulations to You Benchang.

The official congratulations went to You Benchang for winning the award.

But it turns out that as long as you add enough adjectives, everything is unique!
Then the photos of the banners inside the Shanghai Theatre Academy campus swept the Internet!
"Congratulations to Mr. You Benchang, a graduate of our school's acting department in 1952, for winning the first Cannes Best Actor award from one of the three major art schools!"

"Congratulations to Mr. You for becoming the oldest actor to win the Best Actor award in Cannes history!"

The advertising effect of this banner is so unexpected!
After the news was posted online, netizens couldn't hold back any longer.

Everyone knows who is the oldest Cannes Film Festival winner.

But the adjective at the end is absolutely amazing!
First among the three major art schools!

Cannes Best Actor!

This is totally a response to Nortel!

The students of Beijing Film Academy were ready to fight back, but they were overwhelmed when they checked.

There is nothing wrong with this description. Among the two previous movie emperors, although Ge You's father was from BJ Film Studio, this guy didn't even graduate from high school and never went to Beijing Film Academy.

As for Liang Chaowei, Hong Kong Bank, it has nothing to do with the three major art schools!
The publicity effect made Shanghai Theatre Academy a hot topic in an instant, and also affected the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama.

Your school is not good, you don’t even have a Cannes Film Festival winner?!

I checked again and found that there was no Cannes Film Festival winner! Last year's tour was a professional, but it was from Zhejiang Art School, which has nothing to do with the Big Three!
At this moment, Guan Ling was the boss.
It soon turned into a war between three schools, and Shanghai Theatre Academy instantly became the focus of public discussion.

The Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama became the objects of everyone's ridicule.

The Central Academy of Drama didn’t like to hear this, so the students dug up Xia Yu.

"China's first and only Venice Film Festival Best Actor, Xia Yu, from the Central Academy of Drama!"

This is a big deal. It’s not scary to have an award-winning actor, but it will be embarrassing if someone is missing!
Originally I was just a student from Beijing Film Academy bragging, but what happened in the end? Why did I become the clown?
Then things got even more outrageous.

Somehow, Singaporean Chinese Gong Li has become a hot topic again.

Because this is the first Chinese actress to win the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award.

Look at the director again, he’s from Beijing Film Academy, director Zhang Yimou!
Hey!
"The director of the Central Academy of Drama selected an actor from the National Academy of Drama to be the Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival.

The director of Beijing Film Academy selected an actor from Shanghai Theatre Academy as the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival. The director of Beijing Film Academy also selected an actor from Zhejiang Art School as the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival! The director of Beijing Film Academy also selected an actor from the Chinese Theatre Academy as the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival!

"Oh, and there are also screenwriters from Beijing Film Academy who write scripts for directors from the Central Academy of Drama, helping them win the Golden Lion Award!"

"A dedication to the main hit!"

As people who love to have fun, netizens quickly took this matter by storm on the internet!

Even more popular than Guan Ling!
For a time, countless students from the Performance Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy and the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama began to launch a crazy counterattack, shouting fierce slogans.

"My neighbor hoards food, so I hoard guns. My neighbor is my granary!"

In the past two years, Beijing Film Academy was too arrogant!
Because Guan Ling's level is too high, no one dares to challenge her. Which director dares to say it's not true? Feng Xiaogang was beaten to the point of losing his temper!
But this can't stop people from mocking the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy!

And these are all facts!
"Guan Ling, please give some snacks to our alma mater, the principal!" Wang Jinsong called Guan Ling.

"You are bringing honor to the directing department and causing trouble to the acting department! You are actually from the acting department!"

Unable to bear it any longer, a wave of public opinion came right at them, and the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy was stunned!
What a good guy to go on duty with a gun!
When Guan Ling got off the plane and saw the related news, she felt a little numb.

Then I was stunned by two sentences on the phone.

Wang Jinsong seemed extremely angry and hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

"What's going on?" As soon as Guan Ling left the airport, he was surrounded by countless reporters.

"Director Guan, congratulations on helping Mr. You win the Cannes Best Actor award. However, since this year's Cannes Palme d'Or was awarded to a Thai horror film, it has caused a war of words among countless netizens. Are you unwilling to accept this?!"

"There's nothing to be unwilling about. Winning the Best Actor award is already a recognition of this film. On June 6, "The Father" will be released nationwide. Please go to the theaters to support it."

Some reporters rolled their eyes.

Smart!

He is no longer the director Guan who was so bold and vigorous as to do this and that and was determined to teach Cannes a lesson.

Director Guan, who wanted to say hello to Cannes and then slapped a foreign female star, is more popular with the media!
"Director Guan, what do you think of Thai ghost movies?"

"I haven't watched it carefully, but this movie should perhaps be called a reincarnation movie, or a fantasy movie, not a horror movie." Guan Ling's comment once again avoided commenting on the problem.

The reporters are just fanning the flames and it's no big deal.

Seeing that Guan Ling was becoming more and more smooth, someone soon set a trap for Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, I wonder if you have seen the latest news online. According to the statistics of netizens on the best actor and actress winners of the three major film festivals, it is known that Shanghai Theatre Academy and Central Academy of Drama have both won the best actor or actress award at the three major film festivals, but Beijing Film Academy has not. Is it because you prefer to use actors from drama academies? Have you ever thought about helping Beijing Film Academy win a best actor or actress award?!"

"Ok?"

Guan Ling keenly felt that there was something strange in this question.

But now for Guan Ling, no matter what the problem is, it will be a smooth journey!

"I only use actors who are suitable for the role," Guan Ling said, "and it is of course my wish to help Beijing Film Academy win international awards for Best Actor or Best Actress."

……

It was not easy to get out from the airport.

Guan Ling decisively left You Benchang, who had poor legs and feet, behind.

Go interview the movie star, don’t interview me!
Liu Yifei has been abroad for a long time and has to part with Guan Ling temporarily and go home to see her mother.

Guan Ling was noncommittal.

He also needs to take a break, and then he will go to China Film and meet Han Sanpin.

Some of the projects under my control also need to be roughly analyzed.

Previous directors, such as Guo Fan and Wen Muye, could actually take on leading responsibilities.

Guan Ling, who worked with Wilson Yip in Ip Man 2, knew the situation.

Wuershan's "Painted Skin 2" will also be on the agenda soon.

"I Am a Witness" has started filming, and Liu Sisi, Sun Jian and others have already rushed to Hengdian.

As for TV dramas, the post-production of "Awakening Age" is also approaching, and Yang Mi from "Palace" will be joining the crew soon.

Just wait until the termination time comes and then it can be made public.

Guan Ling was thinking about taking a break before considering Fan Bingbing's movie "Scarlet Witch".

This can also open up another way to enter Marvel.

The other thing is the promotion of two movies. Actually, after thinking about it, I will not be idle in the next period of time.

……

"Director Guan Ling's return to China has caused paralysis of the area around Beijing Airport in mainland China!"

"Mainland director Guan Ling has returned to Taiwan, but has not yet made any progress on the Taiwanese film he promised. This shows that mainlanders who cannot afford tea and eggs do not take promises seriously."

Hou Hsiao-hsien looked at the news from some Taiwanese media and couldn't help but sigh.

Even entertainment news would be tainted with certain elements that he couldn't stand.

After thinking for a while, Hou Hsiao-hsien decided to call Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, congratulations. I'm glad you're back in the mainland. I'm in Meizhou, my ancestral home. Is it convenient for us to meet?"

Hou Hsiao-hsien’s main purpose is still what Guan Ling said.

He was very clear that Guan Ling was too busy in the first half of the year. Although he had talked to Li Ang, Guan Ling was too busy and they could not force him.

Now that Guan Ling has returned to China and her two new films are being released, we can take this opportunity to talk about Guan Ling's new views on Taiwanese films.

By the way, guide Taiwanese directors to make a hit movie!
It's not just the mainland's cinemas that need to develop. As an inseparable part of our motherland, Taiwan must of course make progress together!

"Of course, come to the capital."

Guan Ling said.

Hou Hsiao-hsien originally wanted to meet and talk, but unexpectedly, after saying this, Guan Ling took the initiative to bring up the issue of supporting Taiwanese films.

"By the way, I have a script here. The shooting period shouldn't take too long. But it does require some effort."

Guan Ling said, "It's a good opportunity for you to come to Beijing and talk to me about who will be filming and who to cast. We can have a meeting."

"That's great," Hou Hsiao-hsien felt his breathing become heavier. "Director Guan, what kind of movie are you talking about? I will organize the director and actors, even if the whole of Taiwan comes to select, that's no problem!"

"It's actually a movie that will refresh your worldview, and the box office will definitely be good."

Guan Ling said, "It's hard to shoot in the mainland, I'll let you shoot it."

Hou Hsiao-hsien's excitement has not yet subsided.
Then I heard Guan Ling continue, "Actually, as this is my first movie co-produced with Taiwan, I also have something I want to convey."

"Many times, it's not that the mother did a bad job, it's all because of your mother's pressure..."
