China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 335 was before, and now it is setting an example for the world's science fiction movies!
"Did I hear it wrong? Nolan personally admitted in front of so many media that he is not as good as Director Guan?"

"It's just polite talk, what else can Nolan say?"

"The key reporter didn't ask him to decide who won or lost, he just asked him to comment on why he chose that script."

Nolan gave Guan Ling a lot of face, but he didn't realize that what he said would soon become a hot topic on Weibo.

"Nolan personally admitted that he is not as good as Guan Ling!"

Netizens are all fun-loving people, and soon they were commenting crazily under this entry, adding fuel to the popularity of "Inception"!

No one cared that this sentence was actually taken from the sentence "Nolan admits that Guan Ling is young and I am not as good as him", which was taken out of context.

But no one cares.

The entry that Nolan is not as good as Guan Ling shocked many movie fans.

Especially some fans who love foreign movies the most.

This type of people have always believed that the moon is rounder in foreign countries, and that the skills of Nolan, Roland, Cameron and others are a hundred times better than those of Chinese directors.

As for Guan Ling, in the eyes of these people, his reputation is just so-so.

But who is Nolan? "Memento", "Batman Begins", "The Prestige" and "The Dark Knight", which movie has not been watched many times by Chinese movie fans?

Especially "The Dark Knight". This movie was banned in China and could not be released. How much criticism did it receive?

But no matter what Nolan thought in his heart, at least at the press conference, he admitted that he had great respect for Director Guan Ling. In the eyes of many people in the entertainment industry who lack confidence, this evaluation,

enough!
One word from Nolan is more effective than ten Zhang Yimous and ten Chen Kais.

……

"Then Director Guan, as we all know, you said before Source Code that the movie was a sample for Chinese science fiction movies.
It is one of the best brain-burning suspense science fiction movies in film history.

So what do you think of today's "Inception"? "

A reporter's question went straight to the point.

Guan Ling coughed twice, looked at the reporter and said, "Your question is the best question at today's press conference."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the reporter who asked the question didn't know why Guan Ling made such a comment.

But the many reporters below all raised their heads at once.

I want to know what Guan Ling wants to say.

On stage,

Guan Ling glanced at everyone and spoke.

"Source Code is a parallel universe, an infinite loop, and a sample work that brings confidence to the currently not very hot Chinese science fiction market.

But Inception is a little more complicated.

But the essence is the same, except that this movie is meant to be a model for the whole world.”

"???"

A smile was on Guan Ling's face, and he looked calm and composed, as if what he had just said was just unintentional.

The reporters below were all dumbfounded. Everyone was at the press conference just to find news. Even if Guan Ling was a little modest, everyone still had to make up their own stories.

This is just great!

Director Guan is such a good person!

This news is enough.

"Inception is a prototype for science fiction movies all over the world!"

That sounds fucking awesome!

The journalist friends are overjoyed!

Looking at Guan Ling at the press conference at this moment is like looking at a living ancestor. Isn't this traffic, easy to get?

The reporters were in a good mood and did not pick on any issues in their subsequent questions. Their tones were gentle as well. You Benchang, Liu Yifei and others were not asked any difficult questions.

But not surprisingly, the aftermath of the press conference was still lingering, causing a stir in the entire Chinese film industry, and even in the film industry around the world.

……

Although the summer season is the most important period for all countries.

By this time, the excitement of the Cannes International Film Festival had worn off.

Most of the movie fans have watched those highly anticipated award-winning films.

What everyone is most looking forward to are naturally the blockbuster movies of the summer season!

For movies created for the summer season, there is generally a consistent attitude: bombard your senses with a completely entertaining attitude!

Whether it is a thrilling adventure film or an action film.

A series of luxurious science fiction movies.
Hilarious comedy!

These movies will give people a rush of adrenaline, making them feel happy from the heels to the top of the head.

But this year, not only in China, but even the global summer blockbusters are not as famous as imagined.

The North American film "Between Cop and Dwayne Johnson" received considerable attention as the second collaboration between Dwayne Johnson, Will Ferrell and director Adam.

"Prince of Persia", which has already been taken off the screen in China but is still showing in North America, has almost withdrawn from the battle for the summer box office.

The sleepy Robin Hood, the French adaptation of Dinner for Follies, Tom Cruise's action blockbuster Knight and Day, DC Comics' Jonah Hex, the new version of The Independence Day...

None of these give people the confidence to go to the cinema.

The slightly better one is Iron Man 2.
However, with the withdrawal of Iron Man 2 from China, the most critical period for the North American box office has passed.

Currently, the most anticipated movie in the entire summer season, whether in China, North America, or the world, is naturally "Inception", a collaboration between Guan, the director of "2012" and the first film in the "Taken" series, and the famous director Nolan.

And Guan Ling has once again ignited the flame of promotion for this movie!
……

The entertainment industry has its own excitement and its own bitterness and sweetness.

The crew of "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

Zhou Dongyu, who just gave his first kiss for this movie, looked at the news online with a youthful and ignorant look in his eyes.

"Director Guan is so arrogant that he wants to use science fiction movies as a model for world cinema."

Zhou Dongyu exclaimed, but no one knew whether she felt horrified by these words or whether she was skeptical about Guan Ling's words.

"There is almost nothing that our senior brother said that he couldn't do until now."

Dou Xiao, who plays the leading male role Sun Jianxin, looked at Zhou Dongyu seriously, "Director Zhang will probably go to attend the premiere of Senior Brother in the next few days, so we will probably have a holiday. Why don't you come with me to watch a movie? It shouldn't affect the filming of the movie."

“It would be great if you could go and see it, but I really doubt that the film Director Guan mentioned can serve as a model for foreigners.

Although Director Guan's Source Code did very well recently, it is only a step ahead of us in China. Internationally, especially in the United States, science fiction films have been developed forty years earlier than us. How can we compete?"

Zhou Dongyu is still a student after all, and he would watch some movies when he had more free time.

So she was deeply skeptical about this matter.

"If it was anyone else, there would be no fight." Wang Jinsong played a cameo role for Zhang Yimou in this play. When he walked into the lounge, he immediately heard the conversation between the two.
Then he walked up to the two of them.
"But as Guan Ling said, we'll just have to wait and see. It'll only take less than a day anyway."

"Teacher Wang," the two greeted each other, and Dou Xiao suddenly frowned, "One day? Isn't it going to be released the day after tomorrow?"

"I'm that kid's acting teacher. How could he not invite me to the premiere?" Wang Jinsong snorted, his double chin raised, showing his arrogance.

"Oh, yes, Teacher Wang, you are Director Guan's acting teacher." Dou Xiao suddenly realized.

"Wait a minute," Zhou Dongyu, who was standing by, seemed to have heard something very important and suddenly realized something. "By the way, Director Guan is from the acting department?"

"That's right. I'm from the same class as Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen, Huang Bo and others." Wang Jinsong's smile became increasingly unconcealable.

"I remembered it, I knew it, but I blocked it out in my mind. Because I heard too many opportunities to direct Guan's movies, I forgot that he was from the acting department."

Zhou Dongyu gasped.

"Director Guan... is so awesome."

"What's the big deal? Although it's difficult to switch from an acting major to a director, it's not impossible. Didn't Director Zhang also graduate from the photography department?"

"Photography is photography, after all, it's filming." Just then, Zhang Yimou appeared in front of everyone, "The acting department has nothing to do with directing. It's said that good actors can become directors, bullshit. Without a few years of hard work, it's too difficult to be a good director."

He looked at everyone, “Guan Ling is a weirdo.

He is a rare genius in the history of Chinese cinema.

I tell you very clearly, if one day you have the opportunity to act in Guan Ling’s play, do not hesitate for a second.

This is my advice to you.”

"Director Zhang... do you think what Director Guan said in the news about this movie being a sample for foreign films will really happen?"

The entire lounge was silent, and almost everyone was shocked into silence by Zhang Yimou's words.

Only Zhou Dongyu moved her lips and asked a question that she was very doubtful about.

Zhang Yimou was silent for a few seconds.

"I once had the same question as you.

At the premiere of "2012", I wondered if making a movie with an investment of tens of millions of dollars was already my limit.

How on earth did that guy dare to invest 200 million US dollars?
But it turns out that he has done this before. That movie is a disaster science fiction movie. I will call it science fiction.
...And he just wants to repeat what happened before. Is it difficult for him?"

Zhou Dongyu was stunned.

……

During this period of time, Zhang Ziyi has had extremely rich experiences.

Countless people who had smiled at her in the past began to become cold towards her during this period.

The endorsement was withdrawn, the role was snatched away, and the image of Mark kneeling at her skirt and winning glory for the country became just a distant memory in an instant.

Last year's "Perfect Match" was a collaboration between her and Fan Bingbing, but at the beginning of this year, due to the influence she suffered, even the relationship between her and Fan Bingbing hit rock bottom.

The main reason is that when Fan Bingbing was interviewed, she talked about learning English when she and Zhang Ziyi were filming a movie.

Fan Bingbing said Zhang Ziyi suggested that she find a foreign boyfriend.

The two of them had completely broken up.

"How can I get Director Guan to help me?"

Zhang Ziyi looked at the invitation letter in his hand, feeling uneasy.

Yes, she got the invitation to Guan Ling's premiere through Wendi Deng. She had Guan Ling's mobile phone number, but that was obviously not the most private number, and Zhang Ziyi didn't want to negotiate terms with Guan Ling online.

Because she had talked to Guan Ling offline before, she knew that Guan Ling was not interested in her fixed figure.

I'm also afraid that I have AIDS...

After all, it's normal for Guan Ling to have doubts when such news broke about her ex-boyfriend.

But during this period, Zhang Ziyi was in great torment.

In the past, in her mind, her biggest competitors were only Zhao Zhetian and Li Bingbing.

Although the gap between Li Bingbing and her is almost the same now, and Zhao Zhatian has not made any major moves in the film industry, these two are nothing to be afraid of.

But as she suffered some negative news,

Now the status of Chinese actresses has obviously reversed.

Zhou Xun is most likely the undisputed number one at the moment.

And as Fan Bingbing has won the role of Guan Ling in a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster in the second half of the year, Fan Bingbing will also be at the forefront.

Although Liu Yifei has not yet starred in any leading role in any movie, her status is quite good due to a series of international supporting roles.

If she doesn't come back, she will really disappear without a trace.

Hey!
Thinking of this, Zhang Ziyi felt extremely irritated.

On the table was a certificate from her medical examination, proving that she did not have any illness.

Next to it is the invitation letter.

She closed her eyes and kept pressing her temples.

She wanted to give something in order to get Guan Ling's resources, but she didn't know whether what she wanted could impress Guan Ling.

Even if there is only a tiny chance?
……

"I don't know why I am more nervous than Director Guan even though it is his movie."

Liu Sisi, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan were all in Yang Mi's house in Beijing.

After spending some time together, the relationship between the three of them has become better.

But listening to Liu Sisi and Yang Mi talking to Guan Ling and sharing their thoughts about Guan Ling.

The more Tang Yan thought about it, the more depressed she became.

Even though she now had a ticket to the premiere, she still felt a little disappointed.

It was Yang Mi who helped her get it.

Thinking of Qiu Ze who had been pursuing her recently, Tang Yan did feel a little aggrieved.

"Compared to Director Guan, who is he?"

"Director Guan is so domineering. I am really looking forward to seeing this movie."

Yang Mi couldn't help but clench her fists. She had already begun to imagine her husband domineeringly pinching her pigtails.

She plans to wear pigtails to attend the premiere, which will attract some attention.

"Director Guan has always been so domineering. I like his domineering side the most."

Liu Sisi also thought of the first time Guan Ling met her, he casually said this villa is mine.

So heroic!
Only Tang Yan was touching her head.

"I'm afraid I won't understand the movie. I've always been a bit goofy and dumb."

"What's there to be afraid of? If you really don't understand, I will take you to ask Director Guan myself." Yang Mi took Tang Yan's arm and said generously.

"I have a very good relationship with my senior brother, I can definitely ask him to explain it to you."
