China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 329 Jet Li’s silence! The official media is at fault again!
"I used to think that life and death were the only tragedies for adults, but after watching this movie, I realized that the most tragic thing is actually the human world under certain special circumstances."

"He may not be dead, but the loss of memory may have been a heavy blow to his children, or even to himself!"

"You Benchang reached the pinnacle of his acting skills in this film about aging!"

"The greatest show in many years! You Benchang!"

After the live movie ended, many people opened their social media platforms and expressed their true feelings!
Many netizens surfing the Internet quickly saw people's comments.

"The premiere is over? I saw a film critic I follow posted on Weibo."

“I can’t wait to go to the theater!”

Originally, this premiere had been on the hot search list on Weibo. After some opinion leaders expressed their opinions, it instantly became the hottest topic on the Internet.

……

The Internet is exploding with enthusiasm.

At the scene, after the silence, there was thunderous applause.

The smile on Guan Ling's face was plain but brilliant.

It's a shame that this film didn't win the Palme d'Or.

But Guan Ling absolutely does not regret making this movie at this time.

It's not just because of You Benchang's age.

Rather, the release of this film is an opportunity at a time when Alzheimer's disease is not yet taken very seriously.

On the stage, the main creative staff took turns to be interviewed. Amid the heated discussions of the audience below, Guan Ling raised the microphone.

“I believe that everyone here has mixed emotions right now.

I also know that this movie caused controversy in Cannes, and perhaps it will still cause great controversy after it is released in China.

But I would like to make a clarification here.

Whether or not I win the Palme d'Or may be a bit of a pity for me, but it's not something that makes me particularly emotional.

Before making this film, my goal was not simply to win an award.

During the filming process, my thoughts were to enjoy the acting of Mr. You Benchang, enjoy the touching moments that the film brought to everyone after its release, and even enjoy the changes in certain policies.

I also hope to meet all the movie fans here and the friends who will see my interview later.

As Father's Day is approaching, go home more often to visit your parents.

Maybe some of these people's parents are starting to get confused and always forget some things. Don't take it as a trivial matter, but check it out and make a judgment.

Although Alzheimer's disease cannot be cured, it can be prevented.

I hope everyone’s family can be healthy.”

After the final interview, Guan Ling's words elicited prolonged applause from the audience.

Ren Zhonglun's face was somewhat silent at this time. Director Ren, who usually did not show his emotions, had a trembling voice and a solemn frown that refused to lift for a long time.

He turned around and said to Han Sanpin beside him.

"No doubt about it, Director Guan is Director Guan. Even if it's an art film, it will surely cause a sensation."

"The future life is terrible."

"In fact, the most amazing thing about this movie is not just the definition of an art film or a commercial film, but the commercial means and the core of art, which make this movie a unique work. There are many movies about the elderly and many about family affection, but there are very few that can make the fans in the audience cry..."

Ren Zhonglun was inspired.

"Last year's Shoplifters had a high artistic value, so it won the Palme d'Or.

This year's "Father" also talks about family and blood ties, but it dissects the human heart.

There are few directors who can handle commercial films.

There are few directors who can make art films so special.

Is Guan Ling the only one who can create such a unique piece?
If this continues, China's future films will all depend on Guan Ling."

"I am more clear-headed than you," Han Sanpin did not comment on Ren Zhonglun's words, but seemed to be talking to himself, "I am close to the water tower, so I can see it more clearly and earlier."

These two people who can currently cause an earthquake in the Chinese film industry, after saying these words, looked at Guan Ling on the stage and fell silent at the same time.

"China Film Group and Guan Ling have a good relationship. After this movie, I always feel that he has something else up his sleeve."

After a while, Ren Zhonglun suddenly spoke.

"Congratulations." Han Sanpin said, "Yes."

"Are you going to the Oscars? The Oscars pay the most attention to certain special groups of people."

This is the most likely backup plan that Ren Zhonglun could think of.

"Just wait and see, this guy is not just setting off bombs in South Korea."

"what?"

Ren Zhonglun didn't react. Looking at the smile on Han Sanpin's lips, the thought of wanting to strangle Han Sanpin to death and replace him quickly spread in his mind.

This backhand, I gained nothing.
And it was obvious that Han Sanpin knew!

……

"How much do you think this movie will make at the box office?"

Feng Xiaogang looked at Jiang Wen beside him and asked.

"I can't estimate."

Jiang Wen said, "After Let the Bullets Fly, I no longer cared about the box office results. I only watched the movie. I also believed that if one day I didn't want to kneel at all, Guan Ling might be able to give me some investment so that I could make the movie."

Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard what Jiang Wen said.

"So what do you think of this movie?" he continued to ask.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Wen glanced at Feng Xiaogang.

"Awesome! Awesome, and really awesome!"

These three awesome guys left Feng Xiaogang speechless. He started to smile and thought to himself, you are worthy of me!
The next second, his smile froze on his face.

"You should be thankful that you didn't offend Guan Ling in the first place."

Jiang Wen continued, "Otherwise, let's not talk about Inception. Just this art film might be able to beat you half to a pulp."

"..."

Feng Xiaogang wanted to slap himself in the face.

Just chatting with Jiang Wen, I almost got myself into trouble.

……

"Director Chen, Director Guan just said that he doesn't have that many regrets about whether or not he can win the Palme d'Or. Do you believe it?"

Jiang Wen is quite good at chatting. He finally made Feng Xiaogang shut up.

He turned around and started looking at Brother Chen Kai and chatting with him.

"I believe."

This time, Brother Chen Kai nodded, and didn't seem to show much emotion.

"After all, I've won the Palme d'Or once, so whether I can win it again is not something I absolutely regret. Only those who haven't won it will feel particularly regretful."

Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang: "..."

Brother Chen Kai continued, "Although Guan Ling is very successful, I have never been convinced by him. If he can do it, I think I can do it too.

Today, I don’t want to say anything about the cinematographic structure or even the film itself.

When my grandfather passed away, he had lung cancer. Although I was unable to see him many times in the end, I probably didn’t feel the torture of this disease.

But today I am really impressed by this movie.

This movie has never been better than the Thai horror film, and just like Leslie Cheung failed to win the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival, these are lifelong regrets for Chinese-language films.

I really want to dig out Guan Ling's brain and see how many ravines are inside his mind. How can he focus on such a small group of people and how can he write such a script?

If you give it to me, I can do it too!"

Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang immediately made the same complaint in their hearts: "...You really wishful thinking."

……

The cocktail party was scheduled for the evening, so Han Sanpin left first.

He has already taken care of the matter that Guan Ling had previously mediated with him, and now he is just waiting to speak out when the movie is at its peak.

On the Internet, a Weibo post by Mr. Feng made people feel like they were in a different dimension.

"Director Guan Ling's new film is a tear-jerking blockbuster of the year. I believe that in the coming years, there may be very few films that can make people cry so much.

I wanted to watch this movie with a smile on my face.

But I didn't do it. People often say that what is lacking is not beauty, but the eyes to discover beauty.

In fact, this is also the same in love and in family.

A good story is the soul of a movie.

An eye that is good at discovering changes in parents is the question behind the saying "A son wants to take care of his parents but they are no longer there."

Thank you, Director Guan."

This comment once again quickly dominated Weibo, especially the word "questioning", which struck people's hearts hard.

This, of course, is proof that this movie is great!

The tear-jerking drama of the year!

This evaluation, spoken by Engineer Feng, is a final conclusion!
Although some people don't like watching sad dramas, it has to be said that it has raised the curiosity and expectations of more people to the highest level.

It's rare to see a scene that makes even the skit actors cry.

……

in the hospital.

"When you go back, be careful with your voice. Your symptoms are not serious. There is a high chance that you can control the condition by taking medicine."

Jet Li is following the doctor's advice.

"Okay, thank you doctor."

These days, Jet Li was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, which scared him at first, but after listening to the doctor's professional advice, he relaxed a lot.

No one knew at this moment that this seemingly minor illness would affect the rest of his life and cause him endless torture.

But at this moment, he was calm.

He advocates nature and believes that everything in life is subject to natural laws. He would not take medicine if he could avoid it.

If taking medicine can control it, then take medicine.

Anyway, the main point is relaxation!
"Boss, the premiere of Guan Ling's movie is over."

As soon as he got into the car, the assistant told Jet Li the news.

“What are the reviews online?”

“Highly rated.”

The assistant gave Mr. Feng's film review to Jet Li, and also showed Jet Li many film critics' comments on the film one by one.

"He is indeed a strong enemy."

Jet Li said that he accepted those film reviews, but did not agree with them.

In the movie "Ocean Paradise", he and Wen Zhang definitely put in tremendous efforts.

Moreover, when Wen Zhang, who played the role of an autistic child, was putting on makeup, he looked exactly like an autistic patient.

To this end, Wen Zhang went to Star Rain and met many autistic children.

As the father of the characters in the play, Jet Li knew that he had given his best acting skills and efforts in this movie, and Wen Zhang broke himself into pieces and reassembled himself, making himself an autistic patient.

So, it may be hard to say which is the tear-jerking drama of the year...

But what he cares about is more the reviews than the box office.

The box office is definitely not going to be able to beat it. Jet Li agreed with every word of Guan Ling's comments on the box office at the premiere.

Guan Ling really didn't need to feel any threat.

The one who felt the most threatened was Jet Li himself.

He cares about reputation.
As for the box office, even though he starred in this movie and even though he is now at the peak of his career, in terms of publicity and promotion, he is more than an order of magnitude behind Guan Ling.

And the investment is also very low.

Because Jet Li, who could get 100 million yuan for a movie, was only paid one yuan for this movie.

However, due to some promotion tied to Guan Ling's new movie, "Ocean Paradise" has received a lot of attention.

"Please book a theater for "Father". I'll pay for it."

Jet Li thought for a moment and said, "Ocean Heaven has taken advantage of other people's popularity, so we still need to respond."

"it is good."

"Of course, if it sells well, didn't Guan Ling say that he is willing to work with me in the future?" Jet Li said with a smile, "It might be a pity if I haven't worked with the best director in China."

"Okay, boss. After we book the theater, shall we go and watch it?"

"Do you have enough time?"

"It should be fine. We will fly to the Magic City tomorrow afternoon."

"Then go and have a look."

Jet Li set the tone with just a few words.

Everyone stopped talking about Guan Ling's situation.

The next day, Jet Li came to the cinema with a few staff members and saw a constant stream of moviegoers.

The opening of the World Cup yesterday did not seem to affect the crowds of moviegoers.

At least among the people who chose Guan Ling's movies, Jet Li did not find much difference.

"Director Guan is really amazing now. Even the World Cup can't stop him."

Jet Li smiled and joked.

"You and Wen Zhang, father and son, might be able to win."

"In terms of box office, Director Guan has already given everyone the answer to the question of art films. How did Shoplifters win the Palme d'Or and the Oscar trophy make you have those unrealistic fantasies?"

Jet Li looked at the staff beside him and said speechlessly.

When he entered the theater, he happened to catch the end of another theater. Jet Li took a look and saw many people crying. Even after they came out, they were still sobbing.

Those audiences seemed to be paying to suffer.

Jet Li thought so in his heart.

After watching the movie inside, Jet Li's head was full of question marks.

When he already knew that this movie was a tear-jerking drama, he thought that this movie might be similar to the genre of "Ocean's Heaven".

But after watching it, I found that it was completely different.

Because the movie "Father" gives people more confusion and puzzlement in the early stage, and seems to have a suspenseful tone.

When it was almost over, the staff around me started crying.

And when the leaves have all fallen,

Jet Li sat in the theater with only a few people in it and did not say a word for a long time.

……

A feeling emerged in his heart, not worldly, nor jealous. If he had to put it clearly, it seemed like a wry smile.

But he didn't laugh.

Only on the screen, after You Benchang's performance,

It kept echoing in his mind.

……

"Jet Li booked a theater to watch Director Guan's new film and said in an interview that he is looking forward to working with and meeting Director Guan at any time."

"Jet Li claimed that Father is a model of art films, and said that even if Ocean Heaven lost to Father in terms of word of mouth, it was not unfair."

"Jet Li is showing goodwill? Guan Ling, is there a chance for Jet Li to work with you?"

Several pieces of news were released, making the two movies even more popular.

At this time, the industry was looking forward to Guan Ling's first-day box office.

Although the World Cup started last night, the goals were really bad. First, South Africa tied 1-1 in the opening ceremony, and then France and Uruguay lost two games.

It obviously didn't take away much popularity from "Father".

As a result, the first day box office has not yet come out.

A piece of official news instantly set off the entertainment industry!
Everyone in the industry was blown away! They were all stunned!

"Fuck, after Director Guan blew up the South Korean government, he now comes to offer advice and suggestions to the government?"

"I just want to know, this kind of thing shouldn't be determined in a short time, right? How did Director Guan do it?"

Not only that, some fans who were following this movie were also confused!
