China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 332: Storm is coming, long-lost silence

The awards ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival did not cause much of a stir.
Even though seven of the major awards were shared by only two films.

Still no public opinion incident occurred.

Among them, the Chinese film "Biluo Snow Mountain" won four awards, but the Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Screenplay were all won by "Kiss Me Again", and the remaining awards were also won by films from other countries.

The jury chairman Wu Baige and Cheng Long had meaningful expressions when presenting the awards.

The comments made by the Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Film Festival at the closing ceremony also added a touch of humor to the end of the film festival.

“This year’s Shanghai Film Festival has a strong international flavor.”

This evaluation silenced both people inside and outside the circle.

In terms of awards, this is indeed the case.

There were many people who walked on the red carpet in their best attire, and they were very dazzling, such as Luc Besson, Oscar winner Brody, Hollywood actor Cusack, Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh, etc. There was indeed a lot of international flavor.

But such a hot film festival, the popularity taken away by Guan Ling and the World Cup, gave this Shanghai Film Festival a label of being both lively and deserted.

It is worth mentioning that the person who contributed the most to this film festival was Zhang Baizhi's three-year-old son. Gillian also appeared on the closing red carpet with her, which inevitably reminded people of a famous Chinese photographer.

Zhao Zhetian made a quick comeback after giving birth to a daughter in Singapore, and became a hot topic among many entertainment reporters at this film festival.

Feng Xiaogang's remarks at the Shanghai Film Festival also added some liveliness to the closing ceremony.

"Chinese films are a lot like Chinese football. The gap between Chinese films and the rest of the world is huge. Only Director Guan can possibly join a top club in the top five leagues and become the star player who can influence the outcome."

Guan Ling really didn't expect that he would be picked out while fishing at home. After seeing the news, Guan Ling fell silent.

Feng Xiaogang is very arrogant when he is arrogant.

When you lick, you really lick.

After the closing ceremony, Wang Xiaoshuai’s words put the film festival in the spotlight again.

This Chinese director, who just returned from Cannes, talked at length about the difficulties of the Shanghai Film Festival in an exclusive interview as a judge of this year's film festival.

"If the shortlisted films can't be shown, the audience won't see them, and there will be a lot of doubts. Who will come to Shanghai to compete with good films?"

These words made the Shanghai Film Festival feel a little embarrassed.

Then more people's eyes were focused on Guan Ling.

This is a typical piece of evidence.

-

“Hey, Guan, all the preparations for Inception are complete, and we’re just waiting for the world premiere.

But I still have to ask you, are you really planning to hold the premiere in China?

As we all know, the voting base in North America is much larger than the Chinese market.

Your choice may be a mistake."

As time enters late June, both China and North America are making final preparations for "Inception".

Guan Ling ended her short vacation at home and when she returned to Lingyun Media, she was bombarded with calls from Guy Naot.

"Do you think that whether the premiere is held in North America will affect Nolan's premium on this film?"

Guan Ling's question left Guy Naote speechless.

"I understand. You just want to use this movie to show off your strength in China, right?"

“I am the leader.”

Guan Ling said, "So Nolan should come to my home turf."

These words made Gai Nao Te silent for a moment.

Guan Ling could accept having equal directorial roles with Nolan in this film, and Nolan could also accept it, mainly because Guan Ling was the leading figure in the project in the first place.

And as Guan Ling has proven her absolute strength at the Oscars, Cannes and other places.

Now the status of Guan Ling and Nolan is almost the same. In terms of awards, Guan Ling is slightly better. In terms of box office, Guan Ling's high-grossing movies are slightly inferior, but the total box office has surpassed Nolan's movies.

After all, Guan Ling has directed many movies.

Therefore, it is impossible for Guan Ling to be held at Nolan’s home venue for the premiere.

"Ok, I see."

Gai Naote nodded.

"Then will all the directors of Sky-High Sky go?"

"Of course!"

Guan Ling said with a smile.

"Whether it's Leo, the main actors, James Wan, or Mitchelton, anyone who can come will come."

"This seems to be my first time going to China."

Gai Nao Te suddenly sounded a little excited, "Is there a hooker in China?"

“Yes, and there are also Chaoyang people.”

"what?"

After chatting for a few sentences and having been in contact with Guan Ling for a long time, Guy Naote could roughly guess what Guan Ling was thinking.

In the second half of the year, Fan Bingbing will be going to Hollywood to shoot a Hollywood blockbuster. So if the most popular "Inception" is set in the United States again, it would be a bit unfair to the Chinese audience.

But since this is Guan Ling's final decision, they just need to wait.

……

At the end of June, the casting news about "Never Gone" became news that actors in the industry could not ignore at all.

The news on the portal website is more focused on the few roles that have already been confirmed.

"The reveal of the three roles of Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yawen and Mu Tingting has made it clear to the actors in the industry that there are not many options left for them."

News is flying all over the Internet.

But offline, countless actors began to try various approaches to Lingyun Media, but received no response.

Some people with ulterior motives began to focus on the premiere of "Inception".

Guan Ling has not participated in any cocktail parties in recent days, and it is obvious that he wants to take a break for a while.

Therefore, many people in the industry want to make efforts on Guan Ling, but they simply can't find a way.

For Ning Hao, everything is based on the role. It seems that he won't be able to decide on a specific candidate until he finishes screening.

So many people are thinking about whether they should have a good chat with Director Guan at the cocktail party at the premiere of "Inception". Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

However, some information disclosed online later almost brought the industry to a standstill.

"The premiere of Inception will be held at the Great Hall of the People on July 7th. Nolan, Leonardo and others will all be present!"

"The promotion of Inception has achieved full coverage online and offline, and may create the highest box office record for director Guan in mainland China."

"Leo is visiting China for the first time! To promote his movie "Inception"! It is reported that Leonardo will conduct exchanges at Beijing Film Academy this time."

"The publicity for Inception is comparable to that of Avatar. Can Guan Ling create another box office miracle?"

The news about the World Cup did not stop the popularity of various news about "Inception".

The box office success of "Father" also made the industry admire Guan Ling's abilities.

It is difficult to tell whether this movie is an art film or a commercial film.

Twenty days after its release on June 6, the box office exceeded 31 million yuan.

The attendance rate remained above 70% on average, which gave the industry a great spiritual shock.

Many people from film and television companies widened their eyes in astonishment.

Gasps.

Major film producers in the industry are scratching their heads, and many people no longer understand it.

They understand that Guan Ling's "Taken" earned more than 500 million yuan, after all, it's great.

Just have fun.

"Source Code" is exciting after all.

But if we study the movie "Father" carefully, we will find that we can't learn anything.

Besides being touched, there is really no way to learn it.

But can just being moved be enough to earn so much at the box office?
According to this situation
It was not until later that a word from Brother Big Dog spread throughout the circle that everyone suddenly realized the truth.

"The audience wants to spend money, and you have award-winning films from Cannes..."

These words caused many directors to interrupt.

Although people also believe that the high box office of this movie is somewhat related to the intervention of the official media and Guan Ling's first design of a variety show.

But the most crucial point is that no director in China can do it now.

Whether it's winning the Cannes Best Actor award.

It still caused a sensation at the Cannes Palme d'Or.

-

"The reviewer reviewed Inception, but I resisted watching it."

Han Sanpin called Guan Ling.

"I am willing to save good things until the last minute, but with the movie Father, you have created a benchmark for Chinese films."

Guan Ling could hear it.

Even Han Sanpin, a veteran of many battles, had a trembling voice at this moment.

“It’s not just a box office record for art films, it’s also a possibility.”

Han Sanpin said, "In fact, before you filmed these movies, I didn't quite understand it.

After all, in my opinion, only blockbusters are the future of Chinese films.
And you, instead of shooting commercial blockbusters, turn to making art films. This is a historical reversal. You are following the bad habits of the fifth and sixth generations.

But I didn't expect that a movie with almost no female lead and only starring an old man could bring such a big response and sensation in China.

This not only surprised me, but also corrected my thinking.

From this perspective, I have to thank you.”

"In fact, there's no need for Mr. Han to thank me. The box office success of "The Father Trapped in Time" was beyond my expectation."

Guan Ling said, "It should be Father's Day. The official media is involved, and there are policy support and variety shows. If it were another time period, it might not cause such a big sensation."

"You don't have to be modest. These other advantages are also brought about by your planning. The box office is real, and other means are not important as long as they are legal and compliant."

"I'm really not being modest." Guan Ling said, "Box office success still depends on blockbusters."

"Don't tell me." Han Sanpin quickly interrupted Guan Ling and said, "I don't want to hear any box office predictions or publicity effects from you now. I just want to wait for the release."

"I'm afraid I'll think too much and fall even harder."

Guan Ling was speechless.

Han Sanpin's nervousness was only on the surface.

In his heart, he absolutely hoped that "Inception" would become the box office champion of this year's movies.

If he really does that, it will be his political achievement.

At the beginning of the year, there were endless reports about the decline of Chinese films, and Chinese-language films were devastated by "Avatar".

Holding meetings from above every day and assigning tasks also put a lot of pressure on Han Sanpin.

But with Guan Ling's return, these recent reports can no longer be found. Guan Ling has single-handedly cleared the haze that was shrouding the sky of Chinese-language films.

And "Inception" may become the sun of Chinese-language films.

Let the Chinese film industry have a bright future!

In just half a year, the impact brought by "Avatar" was shattered!

Han Sanpin had thought about these thoughts, but every time he thought about them, he could feel his own throbbing.

So he didn't dare to think about it because he was afraid of failure.

-

"Actually, I don't really know why you chose me?"

Mu Tingting drew circles on Guan Ling's chest with one hand, while resting her head on Guan Ling's arm and slightly tilting her head back.

"Your temperament is very similar to the heroine in "Never Gone."

Guan Ling didn't look at her, thinking about Zhang Ziyi in the original movie.

In the original movie, Zhang Ziyi was not very old when filming, but she was definitely not young, and it was quite difficult for her to play a young girl.

In other words, acting skills can make up for some of the gap.

And Mu Tingting is just the right person now.

Moreover, Mu Tingting still has room for improvement in acting.

Moreover, Guan Ling knew that no matter how the turn came, it was time for Mu Tingting to shine in front of the industry.

"Is that all? I thought you were going to praise me."

"Of course I have to use force."

Guan Ling touched Mu Tingting's hair. He could feel that perhaps as he grew older, Mu Tingting was becoming more mellow.

Or in other words, become smart.

In fact, at the very beginning, the relationship between Guan Ling and Mu Tingting was a natural outcome.

After a long separation, Guan Ling did not give Mu Tingting enough support and care, and he even thought that she would give up the relationship.

But the other party has always kept this relationship in mind.

This put some pressure on Guan Ling.

In two lifetimes, it seems that there will be no problem in recognizing a few aunts and sisters as godchildren.

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox.

With Liu Yifei, it was a deep and passionate encounter, and the subsequent continuous communication made their feelings even more passionate.

Guan Ling actually didn't know how to face Mu Tingting.

Even though Mu Tingting had expressed her willingness to accept the idea before, Guan Ling was still worried that the fish pond would explode.

Producing some inexplicable Shura field.

But it was obvious that the other party had accepted a lot of things at this moment.

Hearing Guan Ling's slightly teasing words, Mu Tingting's face did not turn red, she just nodded.

"Then continue?"

"it is good."

The other party's tone was gentle but firm, and his deep eyes looked at Guan Ling. Suddenly, a low voice came out.

"Actually, I brought Long Kui's clothes."

"Ok?"

Guan Ling looked at Mu Tingting.
She was a little shy at the moment, and her eyes were evasive and seductive when she looked at Guan Ling.

"I asked Mimi how I should make my boyfriend happy if I had one, and she told me that the most important thing is the arsenal."

“As for the armory, whether it contains dresses, costumes, or stockings, it all goes.

So I prepared a lot.”

Guan Ling couldn't help laughing as he listened to the other party's explanation.

However, the two words "Mi Mi" in it made Guan Ling think of something.

In The Legend of Sword and Fairy III, Yang Mi is Xuejian, Liu Sisi is the descendant of Nuwa, and Mu Tingting is Longkui.

Unexpectedly, the three sisters,

They actually gathered under my crotch.

I hadn’t thought about it before, but now that I think about it, it’s really exciting.
