China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 328: Advanced shock! A movie that makes everyone burst into tears!

Guan Ling's words were suggestive, but everyone understood Guan Ling's inner meaning.

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about new movie roles, and then Yang Mi was cast in two TV series, which caused a lot of rumors in the industry.

Many media outlets want to take this opportunity to gain some traffic.

Afterwards, Yang Mi's interview sparked heated discussions, but was suppressed just a few hours later, giving everyone a century-long performance in the entertainment industry.

In just a dozen days!
The circle is almost the same as the Chinese New Year.

Cannes Best Actor!

New movie co-produced in Taiwan!
A film dedicated to Tsinghua University's centenary!

Yang Mi plays the role of Guan Ling in two new TV series!
Big gossip from the interview!

In the circle, it is like the Wuling Hongguang sitting on the Akina Mountain, accelerating on the curves, giving people a feeling of being pushed on the back and making their balls tight!
And now in front of everyone, whether it is Lingyun Media, or the CEOs of China Film, Shanghai Film, Wanda, Bona, Guangxian and other companies, they are all big figures who can cause an earthquake in the industry with just a stomp of their feet!

Most of the celebrities who came this time, who are well-known and influential, took the initiative to ask for invitation letters.

Because some people know clearly that when "Inception" premieres, if they want to come, they may have to see if they are qualified.

Guan Ling's words on stage also made many media outlets stop thinking about it.

"I understand that we are not allowed to talk about gossip, and I also understand that we are not allowed to discuss other movies. Director Guan said that he would not interpret the current movie, so what does Director Guan want us to ask?"

Some media reporters were whispering.

"Let's talk about Mr. You? What's there to talk about an old artist? In the news, everyone calls him grandpa, and nothing can be said about him."

"That's right. After Director Guan said this, all the questions I prepared were useless."

Director Guan's words almost blocked everyone's way.

At this time, Ma Yufei, who was in the audience, thought of something.

While Guan Ling was waiting for the people below to ask interview questions, Ma Yufei raised his hand.

"Director Guan, can the film critics ask questions?"

"I know you. Many of your film reviews are very good." After Guan Ling said this, Ma Yufei instantly felt a sense of warmth. "If you have any questions, please tell me."

"Thank you Director Guan for recognizing me," Ma Yufei thanked him, and someone handed him the microphone.
"My question is, in the recent promotion process, in addition to the film "Father" which has aroused the expectations of me, many film critics and audiences, Mr. Li Lianjie's "Ocean Heaven", which focuses on autistic children, will also premiere in Beijing the day after tomorrow, and it is rumored that this film will also hold a world premiere press conference at the Shanghai Film Festival the day after tomorrow.

What I want to ask is, has the movie "Father" received an invitation to the Shanghai Film Festival?"

"The Shanghai Film Festival rarely invites me, and even if they do, I don't go very often." Guan Ling said with a smile, "It's mainly because if I go, they won't be able to give me the Golden Goblet Award."

A joke instantly made the atmosphere at the scene relaxed.

Guan Ling has already won the Golden Goblet Award. Taking a Cannes-winning film to win an award in Shanghai again seems a bit immoral, like raiding a widow village at night.

"Then what do you think of the popular rumor online that your movies and Jet Li's are always competing with each other?"

"I haven't seen it." Guan Ling said, "I can probably guess what you want to ask. The comparison between Taken and The Forbidden Kingdom was just a scheduling arrangement. I respect Jet Li very much. If there is a chance without competition, I certainly welcome his cooperation with me.

But one thing is, in terms of box office, I don’t think his art films can be competitive with mine.

It's not just the difference of going to Cannes or not, but because of the narrative techniques of this film, which perhaps everyone has never seen before.

In the next period of time, you may enjoy a bizarre world!"

Guan Ling's words made the scene suddenly quiet down. Jet Li has a relatively high status as an actor in the industry. He has the glory of being a national martial arts champion, and is also known as the "professional master" of Hong Kong kung fu films. He also has a bit of evil in American B-level action films.

This performance in an art film has already attracted a lot of attention from the industry.

But all this is not enough evidence for Guan Ling.

"Director Guan, I can sense from your words that you are full of confidence. Do you mean that you don't feel the slightest bit threatened by Jet Li's Ocean Heaven?"

Someone else stood up and asked.

"My movie is coming out. I don't think you should interview me about this. The people who feel the most threatened are probably waiting to see my movie."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

If Guan Ling's words just now were just a simple comment on a fact, now it seems like a map cannon.

The camera broadcasting the premiere ceremony also very appropriately found Brother Chen Kai and Feng Xiaogang...it seemed to have a meaningful meaning.

"Brilliant!"

The people at the scene were so excited that their hands were shaking. Just now they were worried that there was no news to write.
Director Guan asked everyone to take their seats and then personally served everyone a delicious dish!

Open the banquet!
"Young man, you are still a little impatient." Ren Zhonglun looked at Guan Ling and narrowed his eyes.

"If you and I had his achievements at his age and turned the entertainment industry upside down, it wouldn't be a big deal." Han Sanpin glanced at Ren Zhonglun and said.

"Yeah." Ren Zhonglun smacked his lips and realized the taste.

"I believe in Director Guan unconditionally." Yu Dong looked at the two big bosses of China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group and said with a smile, "What I am looking forward to more now is how much box office Director Guan's art film can get."

"Guess what?"

Wang Changtian also interjected.

"I would like to guess, but I'm afraid I'm underestimating Director Guan."

Yu Dong knew that answering this question would be a trap, so he was determined not to step into it. He was content with being ignorant.

You guessed too much. In front of so many people, everyone said they were licking.

If you guess less, you will be slapped in the face.

Wang Changtian, this old fellow, always likes to dig holes in his words.

Soon, Guan Ling finished answering several questions.

The interview session ended, and during the host’s session, we finally entered the movie screening session.

"here we go."

In the audience, few people noticed that Feng Gong, the famous comedian in the skit, also appeared on the scene.

He stared at the screen, his eyes lost in distant memories.

A few years ago, his mother suddenly suffered a cerebral thrombosis and was in critical condition. When she woke up, she didn't recognize him at all, and even spoke to him in a wary tone.

Mr. Feng's face was splashed with boiling hot millet porridge by his mother.

The pain was on his face, but even more so in his heart. But the pain in his heart was more profound to him.

The moment Long Biao remembered, his whole mood instantly became tense.

Everyone at the scene began to sit up straight and concentrate.

The noisy sound at the scene just now seemed very quiet at this moment.

The lights went down and the curtains rolled.

You Benchang's face suddenly appeared in a cramped room with cabinets, bed, photo frames, windows and sofa. It was a very ordinary bedroom.

Normally, it's roughly the same in everyone's home.

In the subsequent plot, an old man with a hot temper, a strong body, and a completely normal appearance appeared in people's eyes.

Then a quarrel between daughter Wu Junmei and father You Benchang about the nanny seemed to introduce the story.

A common quarrel.

There are many couples who respect each other, and there are many couples who treat each other as equals.

However, conflicts between father and daughter due to the generation gap are normal and reasonable.

You Benchang thought the nanny was a thief and stole the watch.

The daughter speechlessly asked her father to look for the valuables himself. While wondering why his daughter knew the location of his own safe, You Benchang walked over to see if his watch was there.

After a moment, he came out with his watch, but his mouth was still hard.

"The reason why the nanny didn't steal it was because I hid my watch in time."

When seeing this scene, many audience members couldn't help but smile knowingly.

A stubborn old man.

A daughter who seems to be quite filial,
How will the story develop?
Then the daughter had to take care of her own children's needs, which made her unable to come back often to take care of her father, which made the movie hit reality hard.

This is what happens when people get old. Sometimes, even their own children are unable to devote themselves to and support them wholeheartedly.

Raising children can prevent aging, but this prevention is not 100%.

Something called conflict seemed to begin to emerge from the movie.

You Benchang was furious at first, and then he became helpless, like a child. His lips trembled, and he lay on his recliner with a lonely look in his eyes. He lowered his head and closed his eyelids, and then raised his head. A huge close-up shot of his face showed that his facial muscles seemed to be twitching.

"You don't care about me...

What should I do next? "

There was a long silence. When the daughter finished her lines, she suggested that her father accept the care of a nanny, and then she got up and left.

You Benchang stood up in front of the window. This old man, who was strong and bad-tempered just now and acted like a child, looked at his daughter's back in front of the window. He kept moving but didn't say a word.

In the nearly two-minute-long footage, there is not a single word, not even a single interjection.

He was just a little distraught...

This scene was very touching. At least some viewers with low tear points seemed to think of their own elderly people at home and had tears in their eyes.

But this feeling did not last.

Looking down with expectation,

Before long, the audience was stunned!

Annie's husband appeared in front of the old man, even though Annie was divorced! And the man in front of him looked different from the husband of his daughter in You Benchang's memory!
But the other party was so confident that the old man was a little dumbfounded and thought he had made a mistake.

While we were chatting, my daughter came back.

Not Vivian Wu!
In the movie, You Benchang was stunned!

The audience was also shocked. What the hell is this? The daughter's name is the same, but why are there two different actors playing the role?

Inside and outside the movie, You Benchang and many people at the scene were caught in the same confusion!
Ma Yufei stared at the screen closely, as if he wanted to find some differences in the details behind the screen. Unfortunately, although he was very perceptive and noticed some differences in the scenery, he did not understand the meaning of the scenery behind it at all!
"What the hell is this?!"

But the old man in the movie, although confused, still accepted it all with a smile and turned into an old boy with a fake smile.

Then the house became a harmonious family, with the son-in-law cooking and the daughter chatting, all of them were having a great time, but they were talking on completely different topics.

The daughter said she didn’t have a husband.

The old man said that his daughter had just handed her the meal her husband had cooked.

The old man was so angry that he was about to explode. He went to the kitchen, but there was no one there.

For a moment, everyone was stunned!

"Trapped...in time?"

Some people have begun to think that the name of the movie always represents something...

Then the appearance of the young nanny Yan Danchen and the reappearance of his daughter Wu Junmei made You Benchang's face show a bright smile, instead of the previous confusion.

Entered into the rhythm of chatting and dancing.

The babysitter laughed out loud.

The exchange between the two women revolves around the old man's temper. The nanny claims that the old man is really interesting, while the daughter smiles very awkwardly and claims that he may not always be like this.

Sure enough, his expression changed quickly.

The old man lost his usual smiling face and accused his daughter of coveting his property and wanting to take away his house.

He even thought that after he died, his daughter wouldn't have to break pots for him.

He would rather take his money to his grave than give it to a daughter who covets his property.

The daughter was crying so hard that she was out of breath.

She kept crying to the nanny, saying that her father actually lived in her house and that she had brought him home specifically to take care of the old man, but she was slandered like this and felt very uncomfortable.

At this time, the audience also felt uncomfortable.

"What the hell, didn't the daughter say she was going to take care of her child? Why did she bring her old father into her house?
What exactly is being filmed about? "

Many people have exploded.

In fact, the happiest person here is Gu Tianle!

When he was working on "Source Code", his CPU was already a little broken. Now, seeing that everyone's CPU was burned out, he actually felt inexplicably happy!

Later, at night, the daughter actually sat by the bed and killed her father!
While stroking the traces of time on his father's face, he took a pillow and wanted to suffocate his father to death.

"Fuck, a crime movie?! It's so damn realistic!"

Jiang Wen below was completely confused by this scene.

Who wouldn’t be confused?
Then the daughter took the child to the hospital, and everyone's astonishment was completely resolved.

The old man is sick.
Alzheimer's disease!

Although this entry was discussed by some media at Cannes, at the beginning of the film, few people could really connect the content of the film with the disease.

And at the end of the movie, all the mysteries are finally solved.

The bedroom-like environment at the beginning was a room in a sanatorium.

When I called my daughter, she was not there.

When she opened the door, she discovered that the person she mistook for her daughter was actually a nurse in the nursing home.

I opened the window and looked down at my watch, but there was nothing on my hand.

The nurse told him that his daughter had brought him here a few years ago and only visited him from time to time, showing him printed photos one by one.

Then, when he became slightly more awake, the old man realized that he seemed to be losing some of his memory.

It seems like I can’t even figure out who I am anymore.

And then he collapsed.

In front of the door that opened in a flash, he hunched over and trembled, realizing that the most precious things in his life, those memories, were like sand that he could not hold.

It cannot be retrieved and can only slip away quietly between your fingers.

He fell into a helpless fear.

He didn't recognize anything, including himself.

Then, he burst into tears...

Crying like a baby...

"I want to go home..."

"What's wrong, old man? What's wrong with you?"

"I... I feel like all the leaves on my body are about to fall off..."

"leaf?"

……

The end of the film made the silence at the scene deafening.

Crying, powerlessness, immersion, fear, pain...

The initial confusion has now formed a perfect closed loop.

The old man’s memories were swept away as violently as leaves swept away by the autumn wind, leaving him completely bereft of his family.

Lost dignity.

Lost the emotion.

Even lost myself...

The tone was flat, describing the haggardness and weakness that pushed him into the abyss of life...

At the premiere, too many people were stunned.

After a long period of trance, Ma Yufei finally came back to his senses.

He never expected the ending to be like this.

Engineer Feng was in the audience, tears streaming down his face.

Brother Chen Kai sat back in his chair, looking up at the sky, as if he didn't want people to see his eyes clearly.

You Benchang looked at the screen with clear eyes without saying a word.

At this moment, it is hard to say what everyone present thinks of this movie, but many people felt the shock of it being so high-level that it made them feel cold all over!
