China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 344: Sweeping America! You Submit!
【Modified】

"Look at you, from being a Mou Girl to an international star, why do you want to take advantage of these petty gains and get yourself into trouble?"

After hearing what Zhang Ziyi said, Guan Ling couldn't help but said.

Guan Ling has no objection to Zhang Ziyi, especially since she is willing to let her actors play supporting roles.

It can be seen that the other party is indeed in the most difficult stage at this stage.

Guan Ling was not unaware of Zhang Ziyi's previous story.

Looking back at the generations of celebrities in the entertainment industry, Zhang Ziyi is one of the few who dares to clearly show "I want to be famous" on her face!
He even tried to steal Zhang Yimou's limelight unintentionally.

That little red bellyband, wow!
As a "Mou Girl", she amazed everyone with her first work. With her perfect interpretation of the heroine "Zhao Di", she won the Hundred Flowers Award and became a hot new screen star in China.

After that, she entered Hollywood and became a partner with Jackie Chan, becoming "International Zhang".

From an actor's perspective, Zhang Ziyi's performance in the years since his debut can be described in two words: cheating.

And her fame grew.

She was already a jury member of the Cannes Film Festival four years ago, and this was only when she was only 27 years old.

It's only been eight years since his debut.

Until the Red Beach Incident, her acting career had taken a nosedive.

And recently, whether it was fundraising or ink-throwing and other miscellaneous things, her reputation was even tainted with suspicion of romantic transactions.

There are so many doors that netizens even nicknamed her "Door God".

The comments online are very funny. Some people are able to stand on their own feet at the age of 30, while door gods are able to stand upside down at the age of 30.

Some even call it Zisha in Korea.

The quality of netizens of this era is generally not high, and the online meme of using Zhang Ziyi as a door god has swept the Internet.

For a time, there was a flood of public opinion.

The insults are like a sea.

Zhang Ziyi's life suddenly became gloomy.

She could only remain silent.

But I saw Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing and others slowly getting up.

Zhou Xun also won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

How could Zhang Ziyi accept that these people came to dominate?
In fact, recently, Zhang Ziyi is accepting the goodwill of a CCTV host.
He is handsome and humorous. After I added my contact information, he shared his daily life with me every day.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and Zhang Ziyi knows very well what the other party is playing.

just,

She is not reconciled.

Although the other party is a CCTV host, which may help her clear her name, it has no effect on her career.

After all this, Zhang Ziyi's eyes were still fixed on Guan Ling.

This premiere.

Zhang Ziyi knew very well that she had made the right choice.

If she were to act in the movie "Inception", she would even be willing to exchange two years of her schedule for it!
She still has acting skills and strong film-watching ability. This script is definitely a pure Hollywood-style blockbuster, and it is even different from ordinary Hollywood blockbusters. In terms of film structure,
It is definitely a classic.
It is a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation!
And the Chinese actress in this drama is Liu Yifei.

How can she be?
"Hearing Girl", "Taken", "Inception", if we say that Zhang Ziyi was able to transform from a "Mou Girl" to an international star,
Liu Yifei made a rocket.

Who is this rocket?
Zhang Ziyi knew it very well.

"I was really confused for a moment." Zhang Ziyi did not argue, "But I admit my mistake sincerely. As long as Director Guan is willing to accept my business, I can do what you ask.

What do you want me to do?
I will do whatever I want.”

Hearing these words that sounded like an oath of allegiance, Guan Ling's eyes lit up slightly.

"Deal with your mess and apologize sincerely."

Then, he did not reject Zhang Ziyi's proposal.

"If you have to keep quiet in the mainland for a while, I will consider operating your Hollywood or Hong Kong movies."

Guan Ling didn't want to comment on Zhang Ziyi's character.

But she will definitely make a comeback in the future.

Guan Ling doesn't mind doing a favor.

Anyway, I promised Emperor Entertainment Group's CEO Yang that I would make a Hong Kong film for Hong Kong. Can a mainlander really stay out of it?
When there is a suitable female supporting role, Zhang Ziyi will definitely be the most cost-effective and popular choice.

If you don't use it, you won't use it.

"Thank...thank you Director Guan."

Zhang Ziyi, who was stunned by Guan Ling's agreement, showed a hint of joy on her face.

She didn't expect that she could actually have a successful conversation with Guan Ling.

"You're welcome, just remember what you said today."

"What sentence?" Zhang Ziyi whispered, "I just said too much..."

Hearing Guan Ling's lack of response, Zhang Ziyi said weakly, "Even he got a lot from me. I had a physical examination and there was nothing wrong with my body. Is that it?"

Guan Ling sneered,
"What is said on the Internet is really accurate. You really want to be famous."

"Yes, Director Guan. For this, I am willing to give everything."

Zhang Ziyi did not cover up anything.

……

After hanging up the phone.

Yang Mi looked at Guan Ling in surprise, "Zhang Ziyi's call?"

"Correct."

"Looking for you to make a movie?"

"She wants me to help her make a comeback, and if there is a role, give it to her."

"Given her current situation, have you agreed?" Yang Mi suddenly felt a little chilly. She didn't hear the entire conversation between Zhang Ziyi and Guan Ling, but she got the general idea.

Zhang Ziyi really refreshed her views on the three worlds.

It seems that no matter how big a movie or TV star is, they have to bow their heads when they see Director Guan.

"It's hard for me to refuse her suggestion."

Guan Ling smiled and said,
"She said she's willing to play a supporting role for the person I support."

Yang Mi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she kept waving two fingers, wishing she could say those words to his face, "Can you play a supporting role for me?"
But when she suddenly thought of her two TV series that were waiting to be filmed, she felt a little lost.

Guan Ling glanced at Yang Mi and couldn't help but smile.

"Why, let her play a supporting role for you first?"

Yang Mi was like a little chick, nodding like pecking at rice.

At this moment, Yang Mi was stunned.

It’s rare!
Is there also a time when Zhang Ziyi, the movie queen, plays a supporting role?
On whose head will this huge pie fall?
Could it still be Liu Yifei?

When Yang Mi thought of this, her mood suddenly became bad, and she thought that she had to control her own destiny.

So she immediately said, "If there is a chance, can you let me try?" "Let's talk about it later. Let me think about it and see if there is any suitable movie."

Guan Ling really needs to think about it. Although Zhang Ziyi can accept playing a supporting role, Guan Ling cannot humiliate her. Giving her a movie role with a lot of screen time is something she really needs to think about for a while.

……

When Guan Ling was communicating and cooperating with Zhang Ziyi and others.

The discussion about "Inception" on the Internet has long been heated.

Those who bought tickets made a big fuss online, spreading the word about how good the movie was, while some people couldn't buy the movie at all and were so anxious that they could only read movie reviews online, which made them scratch their heads.

With the emergence of various news, the full picture of this movie has gradually become clear to people.

"An insurmountable masterpiece of suspense. How many details are hidden in Inception?"

“Unparalleled imagination and puzzling settings together create a dream that makes people fall into a mysterious carnival!”

"If I can only watch one brain-burning movie in my life, I will only choose this one. Farewell, Mr. You Benchang of "The Father in Time". I no longer like you who won the Best Actor Award at Cannes, because you only make me cry. I like you in "Inception" because you make me feel domineering!"

"Cannes Film Festival winner vs Leonardo DiCaprio! This is probably a combination that no Chinese director, except Guan Ling, can come up with in their lifetime!"

"I declare that from today on, as long as Director Guan Ling is still alive, I will watch every movie he makes until one of us dies temporarily. If that person is Director Guan who dies before me, then I can only burn paper for him as a small expression of regret, and drink a glass of wine as a small expression of comfort.

If this person is me before Guan Ling, my children, if Director Guan is filming a movie one day, please burn a disc for me, and don’t forget to tell your father during the family sacrifice!”

This comment received many comments, and netizens were full of anger towards the author of the comment.

Others want movies to be exciting, but you want movies to kill you!

As the most anticipated blockbuster shot by Guan Ling herself this year, the release of the first day box office shocked the industry beyond words.

Many bosses have no sleep.

Many actors looked resentful.

It’s a pity that the characters mentioned above didn’t get even a penny!
……

The box office miracle of "Inception" continues.

On the second day, the box office continued to maintain a high of 1.5 million! The two-day box office was close to million yuan!

As soon as the news came out, the industry exploded.

Although this movie did not achieve the extreme achievement of breaking 100 million in a single day.

However, the box office has remained at 70 million for two days, which has completely crushed other movies in the release list rather than in theaters!
The screening schedule and attendance rate are almost zero.

Because no one is watching!
"Guan Ling's box office performance created a myth, with box office revenue exceeding 70 million for two consecutive days, setting a record for the fastest box office revenue of a Chinese film to break 100 million. I believe that the fastest record of breaking 200 million or 300 million will also happen.

What we are most curious about is whether Guan's film can break the record of Avatar. "

"The most powerful money-eating beast in the history of Chinese cinema! Guan Ling's new film is aimed at "Avatar", and now, he has made the most solid progress!"

……

This box office result silenced countless people in the industry.

Wu Baige is currently doing the final work on his film "Sword Rain". The film is scheduled to be released in late September, and it is very likely that it will coincide with "Aftershock" at that time.

He also received an invitation from Venice this year, and he already knew the details. Venice will give him a big prize this year.

Although it was not stated explicitly, Wu Baige guessed that he did not have any films screened in Venice this year, so this award was only related to him personally.

It has nothing to do with the movie.

At this moment, the moment you see the box office.

Wu Baige felt very dazed.

The first day box office of "Red Cliff 1" was 12 million.

The first day box office of "Red Cliff II" was 17 million.

Although one is a Chinese film and the other is a Hollywood blockbuster, there is no comparison between them.

But this result still made Wu Baige completely depressed.

He had already watched the movie at the premiere, but at that time, he didn't want to make any comments.

It was only when no one was around, when she saw the box office, that Wu Baige's eyes seemed to have returned to Hollywood, back to ten years ago.

Also back to five years ago.

It took me back to the time when I first watched Guan Ling’s movie “The Uninvited Visitor”.

At that time, his movie "Seven Swords" was released and it was a complete flop.

With his own low-budget movie, Guan Ling jumped into the brightest spotlight, and he himself became the background board.

At that time, he was watching Guan Ling's movie in the cinema. It had a small budget, a multi-narrative structure, a dazzling story, and finally formed a convergence of all destinies.

Explode in one day!
It was a really good movie and he was on pins and needles.

And now, Guan Ling has come to Hollywood with his dazzling stories.

"Inception" also has a multi-narrative structure, but this time it is not based on characters or clues, but on dreams.

The setting is novel, new wine in old bottles, but it just has a weird feel!

Wu Baige knows best how difficult it is to shoot a Hollywood blockbuster.

He came back after failing in North America.

But Wu Baige can't comment on this movie, he just wants to enjoy it.

While the industry is paying attention to Guan Ling's box office in China, he is more concerned about the first weekend box office in North America.

That result may be the key to determining Guan Ling's fate in Hollywood.

What he wants to do is to enjoy the real Chinese directors and create huge waves in Hollywood.

"It's a great thing that someone in China can do what I can't do."

Tomorrow afternoon, the North American first weekend box office will be released, and Wu Baige is very much looking forward to it.

But this time, he didn't feel nervous, only relaxed.

When the movie "Seven Swords" was released, the feeling of being on pins and needles that he had when watching Guan Ling's movie would no longer happen again.

But all this will happen to other people.

He thought of "The Last Target", "Broken Arrow", "Face/Off", "Mission: Impossible 2", and "Windtalkers".

During his ten-year career in Hollywood, he left his handprints at the Hollywood Chinese Theater, becoming the first Chinese director to leave his handprints.

But that memory gave him not only high spirits, but also a sense of unwillingness.

And now, the resentment that has been accumulating in my chest for a long time seems to finally be expressed.

"All have to die!"

Wu Baige thought of those producers and directors in Hollywood who looked down on him.

The anticipation of seeing Guan Ling crush them suddenly exploded!

……

The box office of "Inception" on the third day was mediocre.

Only more than 60 million RMB was left.

After two days of packed theaters, the box office on weekdays fell slightly.

In the afternoon of the same day, the box office results of the first weekend in North America really shocked the whole world!
