China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 330 The establishment of the official prevention association! The first involving the national comprehensive!

"CCTV News reported that the Alzheimer's Disease Branch of the China Geriatric Care Association held a meeting in Beijing a few days ago. The meeting clearly discussed the establishment of an Alzheimer's Disease Prevention and Treatment Association. This initiative has been approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of China and has entered the planning stage. The founding conference and the first representative conference will be held on July 7 at the BJ Science and Technology Hall!

At the same time, the Alzheimer's Disease Branch of the China Geriatric Care Association accepted all proceeds from the film "The Father Trapped in Time" donated by Director Guan Ling of Lingyun Media, and is committed to increasing the popularity and promotion of the film among people with cognitive impairment in society."

This piece of news actually didn’t have a very big impact on people.

Even in the news broadcast, it only took a few seconds to flash by.

However, the other news that came out along with this official news left the entire entertainment industry stunned.

"The Father in Time became the opportunity for the establishment of the Alzheimer's Disease Prevention and Treatment Association, and Guan Ling and You Benchang's new film in Cannes triggered a one-week closed-door meeting of the China Elderly Care Association!"

"The purpose of the prevention and treatment association is to unite all scientific and technological workers, medical workers, social workers, volunteers, family members and the masses.
Promote the development of dementia prevention and treatment, and actively promote innovative research…”

"It is reported that the first president will probably be an expert in Alzheimer's disease research. Currently, the candidates are three professors from the School of Life Sciences of Beijing Jiaotong University, Fudan University and Peking University School of Medicine."

"Cannes Film Festival winner dedicates himself to charity! You Benchang serves as social welfare ambassador of the Alzheimer's Disease Prevention and Treatment Association!"

"Guan Ling accepted an interview with CCTV6 and claimed that paying attention to special groups is a small step towards adhering to the scientific outlook on development, promoting the socialization of services for the elderly with dementia, and building a harmonious society."

"After changing the legal landscape in South Korea with The Crucible, Director Guan has directly created an association in the Chinese social field with his own movies?!"

For a moment, people were a little dumbfounded.

According to Guan Ling's current status, it is not difficult to set up some non-profit organizations, but it must be directly approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of China and directly rise to the level of CCTV and society and the country.

Not really.

And some people who know the inside story have noticed something different.

Because of this incident, it was also confirmed by the China Geriatric Health Care Association, and this association is a national association!
There are many national associations, but nothing seems to be shocking.

But a director, with a movie, directly caused a completely unrelated national association to hold a closed-door meeting for a week and forcibly approved the birth of a new association.

And it directly changed the level of attention paid to this special group of people.

This matter is a bit tricky.

At least in the entertainment industry, this kind of situation is unprecedented, no doubt about it.

Originally, the establishment of such an association would not attract much attention.

Although Guan Ling's movie was released and it was very popular, the premiere has ended after all, and everyone is still waiting to see the first day box office.

As a result, these two things happened at the same time, and Guan Ling had some shares in Weibo after all, so Weibo put this matter at the top of the list for publicity, and for a while, it seemed as if the whole society was focusing on Guan Ling.

All kinds of news in the entertainment industry are suppressed!

No matter what level of director or star you are, when you encounter this kind of positive publicity for social welfare, people will be dumbfounded if you put the camera up close and wide.

Who can steal Guan Ling’s popularity?
And within a few hours, the first day box office was released.

Despite the impact of the World Cup, the box office on the first day grossed 3520 million RMB.

Directly suppressed the box office in June.

For a time, most of the news on the Internet,

All of them were crushed by Guan Ling, You Benchang, "Father", China Prevention and Control Association, and the first-day box office.

“Is this the back-up plan?”

Ren Zhonglun looked at the fate of China's official media and shook his head.

This matter is not that great actually. After all, it is good for society. As long as it is reported, there will probably be follow-up.

But the news after the joint film was released, the ZY TV News Network broadcast, and CCTV6 interviewed Guan Ling.

There is a sense of oppression as if a storm is about to come.

It completely suppressed the enthusiasm for the upcoming Shanghai International Film Festival.

Ren Zhonglun has been called on by CCTV several times recently. Some people in the Shanghai system complained that Guan Ling's movie was released in June, which was a bit too bullying.

Last year, Guan Ling won the Palme d'Or, and the Cannes jury president who presented the award received a lifetime achievement award at the Shanghai International Film Festival. These are all good things.
But once the two are mixed up, the Shanghai International Film Festival's own awards have lost all their popularity.

This year it looks like that's the case again.

But there is nothing the Shanghai International Film Festival can do.

Although Guan Ling did not participate in the film festival, even if she did, it would be difficult for everyone.

Give it to the Golden Goblet Award. Guan Ling herself may not be very interested.

If we don’t give the Golden Goblet Award, what’s the point of holding this film festival?

Give it to the Best Actor. Everyone else is just running for the same honor. It’s a bit of bullying.

The judges don't need to make any comments at all, after all, the Cannes Film Festival has already helped with the selection.

I really don't want to give it to the best actor.

This film festival deserves to be criticized to death.

So everyone basically agreed that if they didn’t want to come, they didn’t want to come. Zhang Yimou didn’t participate in many of his previous films, so this is normal.

But Guan Ling was released in June, so the whole month of June became his home turf, which was quite like a one-man-blockade against ten thousand men, and it seemed like he dominated half of the mainland entertainment industry.

This year was particularly excessive. Sometimes it cooperated with Taiwan's Hou Hsiao-hsien, sometimes it cooperated with Tsinghua University, and sometimes it messed with the official media. The Shanghai International Film Festival was in a state of panic at this time.

The organizers just wanted to lie down.

No need to play.

Looking at the numerous news reports, Ren Zhonglun couldn't help but feel a little bitter.

“It’s really difficult at the film festival.”

"This is Guan Ling, right? Even if it's an art film, he can suppress the mainland film festivals by himself. If this thing goes to the Shanghai International Film Festival, it won't be able to convince the audience unless it sweeps the festival."

"Forget it. This is the fate of the Shanghai International Film Festival. Of all the mistakes, the one you made was choosing June. You couldn't invite an international big shot. If you had invited an internationally renowned director, wouldn't he have been competing with Guan Ling?"

Thinking of this, Ren Zhonglun laughed again.

There are three things that a chairman of the board has no responsibility for.

If it's none of my business, I don't care. If it's none of my business, why should I care?
I don't care about the affairs of my company. I am the chairman, so can't I take care of the affairs of my company?

I don't care about matters related to me. I just hold a meeting and listen to the resolution.

For this matter, just watch the show.

“Is this the first day box office?”

Browsing the latest news on his mobile phone, Fan Bingbing was a little shocked by the box office revenue of 3520 million RMB.

Fan Bingbing has also acted in art films.

"Guanyin Mountain" is, and so is "Rizhao Chongqing".

But if which of these two movies can get Guan Ling's first-day box office, it will probably make her wake up with a smile.

Moreover, the box office of "Shoplifters" last year was not high, with the final box office of only more than 200 million.

Therefore, the industry's overall box office expectations for "Father" are not particularly high. Of course, this attribute has a premise, that is, in Guan Ling's movie.

"Listening to your words is like listening to your words."

Guan Ling's hand brushed over the two tufts of hair on Fan Bingbing's sweaty temples and hooked her ear.

"It's only been released for a day or so, if this isn't first-day box office, what is it?"

"What about me? Is it Director Guan's first day back from Cannes?"

Fan Bingbing said, "It feels like you are a lot this time."

Guan Ling turned around, leaned against the head of the bed, picked up the red wine on the bedside table and drank a glass, but did not answer Fan Bingbing's question, but just asked back.

"So do you like more or less?" "That's not important." Fan Bingbing really gave the most emotional value. She leaned close to Guan Ling's ear and exhaled sweetly, "No matter how much, isn't it all given to you, Guan?"

Looking sideways at Fan Bingbing, the dense beads of sweat on his face after last night's morning exercises actually added a lot of mature charm to him. Although Guan Ling had just smoothed up a bunch of hair, the hair was still a little messy overall, which seemed to be a clear evidence of the intense exercise just now.

But even so, the other person's face is still delicate and bright.

"You, you are becoming more and more like a dog licker in your words and deeds."

Guan Ling stretched out his hand and scratched the other person's jade buttocks twice, then patted it.

The other person uttered a gentle, coquettish sound, wondering, "What does licking a dog mean? Does it mean calling me a dog?"

"No," Guan Ling said, "I mean, I still like your rebellious side."

"What does it look like to be unruly?"

The other person jumped onto the horse and looked down into Guan Ling's eyes.
After shaking a few times like water waves, the other party pressed Guan Ling's hands and asked, "Is that so?"

Suddenly, a bad feeling made her moan unexpectedly.

"No, it's so slippery, I have to take a shower."

It was not until the other party reached the bathroom that Guan Ling realized the iron law of gravity: no matter what it is, it will always move downward under the force of gravity.

Immediately after entering,

A plot similar to that of "Apple" appears, followed by another battle between dragons and tigers.

After walking out of the bathroom again.

Fan Bingbing has transformed again into the cold and beautiful woman in the dragon robe who says "No strangers allowed"

"I have to go. The filming of The Orphan of Zhao will be finished soon.
I still have to attend the wrap-up party."

Brother Chen Kai came to watch the premiere of Guan Ling's new movie. The leading actors of "The Orphan of Zhao" all took two days off, otherwise Fan Bingbing would not have taken time out of his busy schedule to let Guan Ling take advantage of the opportunity.

"Is it safe?" Guan Ling suddenly asked without any context.

"It's okay, I'll handle it myself." Fan Bingbing said, "I don't want any accidents to prevent me from filming my final Hollywood movie."

She was very happy with the Hollywood movie that Guan Ling tailored for her.
It has long been filled with endless expectations.

"Don't eat anything that is harmful to your body. It's harmful to your body."

"If there is a baby, I will give birth to it for you?" Fan Bingbing said with a smile.

She felt a moment of loneliness when she didn't hear Guan Ling's answer, but she quickly composed herself. She hoped to prove herself in that Hollywood movie starring a heroine.

"By the way, why hasn't 'Rizhao Chongqing' been released yet?"

Guan Ling suddenly thought of something.

"Do you think Director Wang is you, that you can just rush forward?" Fan Bingbing said, "After your movie is released, it will be the summer season, and then the National Day season. Director Wang was very panicked, and finally he could only schedule it in the unpopular November season. By that time, I guess I will have almost finished filming my Hollywood movies."

"Okay, let's get busy first."

Guan Ling patted the other person's buttocks, signaling that he could leave.

The first-day box office of "The Father" shocked the industry quite a bit.

The impact of the World Cup and art films, Guan Ling's answer shocked everyone.

And the movie tickets are not expensive, only about thirty or forty yuan.

Considering that the movies nowadays often cost as much as 60 or 70 yuan, this is really a great benefit.

After the first day's box office figures came out, the entire industry was undoubtedly dumbfounded.

Most of them are numb.

Yes, for more people in the industry, the biggest feeling is numbness.

"Fuck, the first day's box office was over 35 million. Who is it? Oh, Guan Ling, that's fine!"

This is true for most people.

Many people in the industry are watching when the box office of this movie will start to drop sharply, because this is predictable. The World Cup will become more and more exciting as it enters the quarterfinals.

People will know more and more about this movie.

There will always be negative growth in box office.

After watching the premiere, Brother Chen Kai went home and rested for a day with his wife.

When he learned about the box office, it was the first time that Chen Kai didn't make indirect comments at home.

Chen Arthur also felt his father's silence and did not dare to make trouble at home. Instead, he sat quietly in the corner reading a thousand Tang and Song poems.

The box office performance of the movie "Mei Lanfang" was almost as good as the first-day box office of "Father".

It will be difficult to brainwash yourself this time, and it will be difficult to selectively deceive yourself using the Spring and Autumn style of writing.

Although Brother Chen Kai knew that as long as he excerpted the word "first day" from this sentence, he would still win, and win big!
But it was just the two words "first day" that made him silent, speechless, and completely realize who he was.

The gap between him and Guan Ling seemed to be widening day by day.

Everything that happened at the scene of "The Promise" is still vivid in my mind.

Brother Chen Kai turned his head and suddenly looked at Chen Hong.

"How about I write a script with Guan Ling?"

"Ok?"

Chen Hong was a little surprised. "Do you think he will give it to you?"

"I don't know," Chen Kaige said, "but I think I have to try."

"Take Chinese films for example. Over the past few years, Guan Ling, Zhang Yimou, and even Feng Xiaogang and I have jointly paved the way for the prosperity of the Chinese film industry.

Take the Palme d'Or for example. Guan Ling followed in my footsteps closely, so am I also his beacon? Although we don't have much interaction, we are both from Beijing Film Academy after all, and he can write for Jiang Wen.

Why can’t you give it to me?”

Chen Hong was stunned. "Prosperous times? Lighthouse? Family? Together?"

She felt a little confused. She didn't know if it was like in the movie, with some cognitive impairment.

I can understand every word, but when they are put together, I always feel a strange sense of unreality.

Time quickly came to June 6th, and the box office for the first three days of the weekend was released, and it was only one step away from breaking 14 million.

9846 million!
Originally, Han Sanpin was going to help Guan Ling get 100 million, but Guan Ling did not agree.

He no longer cares about time. It is difficult for art films to create miracles at the box office.

His main purpose is still in the subsequent process of this film.

June 6th is the premiere date of "Ocean Paradise" in Beijing, following its grand premiere at the Shanghai International Film Festival yesterday.

Everyone thought that today would be the home game of Ocean Paradise.

But a piece of news once again swept the industry.

“Lingyun Media has joined hands with Jiangsu Satellite TV to create the first social welfare variety show that cares for people with cognitive impairment.

"Forget Me Not Restaurant" has started a full network screening, selecting five patients with cognitive impairment, and jointly establishing a restaurant with artists to carry out humanistic care and speak out for Alzheimer's disease!

This variety show is planned by Director Guan, and it will be Director Guan's first variety show. We are now recruiting Alzheimer's patients from all over the Internet! "

When the news came out, the whole network was shocked.

A film director's first foray into a Chinese variety show?!
