China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 347 Animated film? A single stone stirs up a thousand waves!

"Director Guan, do you mean that you will shoot an animated film in the future? An animated film like the Japanese "Spirited Away"?"

"If you need me to repeat myself, I can tell you very clearly.

Yes. "

Guan Ling said firmly into the microphone.

"Since they say my sci-fi movie plagiarized Japanese animated movies, then I will make an animated movie. When the time comes, I will ask these people who have a good life to take a good look at my movie and see if it is plagiarized."

Guan Ling's voice was calm, but the information it revealed stunned countless reporters at the scene.

Animated movie?

Are you sure this thing is part of the same system as the movie?

Just shoot when you say so?

There were also some foreign directors at the press conference, some of whom were of yellow race and not very tall, with a typical Japanese look at first glance.

"Director Guan, even if you made an animated film, it doesn't mean you didn't plagiarize in Inception. These two are not topics of the same dimension, right?"

Suddenly, a Japanese reporter stood up and confirmed it carefully.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.

But Guan Ling didn't care. The guns and cameras below didn't affect his mood at all.

He is not a moral role model. Movies cannot appear out of thin air, nor can they disappear out of thin air. They can only be transferred from the hands of others to one's own hands.

This is the advantage that the Prophet brings to him.

If it is a domestic movie, Guan Ling still needs to think about it, at least he will definitely not shoot it himself.

The directors under Lingyun Media have almost finished filming the batch of Huayi films.

Now Guan Ling's focus is not limited to domestic films at all.

But the "Inception" incident made Guan Ling harden his heart.

Plagiarism?

how is it?

A Japanese movie, right? I won’t leave you a single drop!
"Japanese, right? You are right." Guan Ling said to the reporter, "I did thing b, but it cannot affect your criticism of me in thing a. These are two different things.

Just like I am discussing with you now that I will not prove myself,

But it does not affect the fact that the Chinese are the ancestors of the Japanese. These are also two different things.

When Xu Fu sailed eastward, this matter has always been a rumor in China.

It's just like what you said about my movie plagiarizing Japanese movies, it's all rumors.

Whether the rumors are credible depends on whether you want to recognize your ancestors here this year."

Guan Ling's extreme bad breath soon caused him to feel inexplicably sour.

At the press conference, no one could hold back because of Guan Ling's words.

Many Chinese reporters couldn't help laughing.

Only the Japanese media who stood up had a face that turned pale in an instant.

As a Japanese journalist who has been in China for a long time, his Chinese is okay, but Guan Ling's words just now almost choked him to death.

Can't say a word.

……

There were many media outlets present at this press conference, including countless reporters from home and abroad with their cameras and guns.

"Inception", as a Hollywood blockbuster co-produced with Nolan, has also shocked the global box office. With the emergence of such negative news, I wonder how many people are laughing at Guan Ling.

However, Guan Ling just started to set the pace of the press conference.

It was pulled into an extremely contradictory state.

"I don't understand why Director Guan would verbally attack the reporter who asked the question," another female reporter stood up to defend the person who just asked the question. "Japanese people are generally quite friendly, and what you just said has an impact on the friendly relationship between China and Japan. After all, Director Guan, you represent the image of Chinese films."

"China and Japan... are friendly?"

Guan Ling pronounced the four words one by one, and then showed the female reporter his classic subway old man face.

Are you sick?

Guan Ling was too lazy to get entangled with the female reporter, so he simply asked the security guard to carry her out.

Wait until this is done.

Guan Lingcai sat calmly on a chair at the press conference and looked up at everyone.

"This is the end of the press conference regarding the plagiarism. You may now ask questions."

A Huaxia reporter stood up and said with a smile, "Director Guan, I want to talk to you about the animated film you mentioned. I know a little about animated films. A long time ago, my country's first color wide-screen animated feature film, "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King," became a tribute film to the founding of New China and won a Cannes award.

After that, with a large number of foreign cartoons such as "Popeye", "Transformers", "Tom and Jerry" and other movies entering China, it had a great impact on our movies. At that time, "Black Cat Sheriff" and "Calabash Brothers" saved the bottom line of Chinese animated films.

However, in the past two decades, Chinese cartoons have mainly entered households and become television cartoons, while the market share of animated films has been seized by animated films from Hollywood, Japan and other countries.

Especially in recent years, there have been no classic Chinese animated films except "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

I would like to ask these questions, Director Guan, do you understand? Animation is not something that can be made on a whim. And Japanese animation films are very well made, and there are many classics at present.

Director Guan, do you have confidence?

"You really know a lot about Chinese animated films." Guan Ling said, "If we didn't know each other, I would have suspected that you were my agent."

Accompanied by some laughter.

Guan Ling said seriously: "In fact, we have been planning in the animation field. Lingyun Media has established a strategic partnership with Huaqiang Fangte and owns shares of Fangte Animation.

In Hollywood, Skyrim has also been continuously seeking to contact and even acquire animation film companies.

The basic protocol framework is already in place.

So this is something I have been doing.

To be honest, I have been annoyed by the fact that Japanese animated films are famous all over the world for a long time. "

Guan Ling chatted casually for a few words, then suddenly became serious and looked around at everyone.

“At this press conference, I am here to confront people and to issue a challenge.

They said I copied Japanese animated movies, no problem.

So what I have to do next is to knock down the idea that Japanese animation films are ‘strong’ that everyone thinks of.”

Many reporters were stunned by Guan Ling's words. They didn't expect that Guan Ling had already planned this.

By the way, I didn’t expect that this press conference would be an opportunity to officially announce its involvement in an animated film.

Didn't you say I copied Japanese cartoons? Okay, I'll make an animation for you to see!

It sounds a bit nonsensical.

But this is really exciting!
……

The press conference was very short, but the sensation and turmoil it caused quickly swept the Chinese entertainment industry after a few interviews at the press conference.

"Guan Ling angrily criticized Japanese reporters at the press conference, claiming that the Chinese are the ancestors of the Japanese!"

"I will never prove myself! Guan Ling claims that it doesn't matter how many bowls of noodles he has in his stomach. What matters is that he defeats you in the area where he is best at!"

"Is he confident or just being crazy? Guan Ling claims that Lingyun Media is ready to enter the animation film industry."

"A press conference on plagiarism controversy turned into a declaration of war in a battle of dignity!"

The media present here obviously didn't use the manuscripts they prepared before, and they wrote news headlines at the last minute, which were not shocking enough.
But these news were still widely publicized.

News from various press conferences is about to sweep the industry.

When seeing Guan Ling claim that he did not plagiarize, everyone agreed.

But when I saw Guan Ling claiming that he wanted to shoot an animated film to compete with Japan,

The circle exploded.

Many people's minds are a little confused.

When it comes to movies, everyone agrees on Guan Ling's level. Guan Ling is a person who can sweep the industry in all aspects of movies.

But all this does not include animated films.

This is like Guan Ling using his own eggs to touch other people's stones. Many people think that there is little hope.

……

Zhu Yawen was watching the show at the scene and was also frightened by Guan Ling.

After the press conference ended, Zhu Yawen followed Guan Ling to dinner, following her closely.

"Nothing you want to ask me?"

Looking at Zhu Yawen who hadn't said much along the way, Guan Ling said.

"I don't have anything to ask. You said you wanted to make an animated film, so you can definitely make it. I don't have any emotional fluctuations now."

"Boring, I thought you would question me too?"

"I lost the ability to question you a long time ago. After all, for a foster father, disobeying him is the greatest act of filial piety."

Guan Ling was left speechless by Zhu Yawen.

As for entertainment news, the details of this press conference also made countless people in the industry buzz.

"This is a bit of a big step,"

Feng Xiaogang praised Guan Ling's style of angrily criticizing reporters, but he was a little confused about the move to animated film.

I am still young, even though I have learned how to walk and I am now more confident in doing so.

But animated films are like castles in the air, mirages, and empty things.

Feng Xiaogang is not optimistic at all.

Science fiction movies are awesome, and Feng Xiaogang can still accept it. After all, young people are quick to accept new things, and science fiction movies overseas are indeed good nowadays.

Just because he can't keep up with the times doesn't mean Guan Ling can't keep up.

But animated films require systematic accumulation of time, and he really didn't believe that Guan Ling could make it well. He just thought that this press conference was a public relations method designed to divert the topic.

"Besides, even if an animated film is sold at its highest price, can it still sell better than Inception?"

Feng Xiaogang's heart was obviously filled with incomprehension.

"Have you thought carefully about this choice?"

Liu Yifei called.

"I believe you 100%, but I'm afraid you'll be misunderstood and get carried away. Japanese animated films are amazing. Do you have confidence?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence in you, I just want to tell you that I'm always behind you."

Hearing that Guan Ling's reply was a little slow, Liu Yifei immediately added a sentence.

"I'm not high."

Guan Ling said, "Because I will only be obsessed with you."

"I also don't want you to be behind me all the time, because I like me to be behind you, and you are useless behind me."

Guan Ling said a few words and Liu Yifei hung up the phone.

In the Dabie Mountains.

Liu Yifei turned off her cell phone and lay down on the sofa.

Guan Ling’s words just now echoed in my mind.

"I'll only be on top of you, I like being behind you."

It's so rogue, but I like it!

……

When Zhang Ziyi saw the news, his expression was serious.

This incident caused quite a stir, but when Guan Ling's press conference was over, the focus of people's discussion shifted from "Inception" to Guan Ling's shooting of animated films.

"Can he do it?"

Zhang Ziyi was a little surprised.

I just talked to Guan Ling before. She is waiting for Director Guan to help her make a comeback, and Guan Ling agreed.

But now, won’t this animated film affect her?

Thinking of this, a layer of gloom suddenly covered Zhang Ziyi's face.

This is just a waste of time!

……

Han Sanpin, Director Tong is in the office of China Film Corporation.

"Boss Han, what do you think?"

Director Tong sighed and suddenly looked up at Han Sanpin.

"I'll wait and see."

Han Sanpin raised his head, his eyes firm, "Guan Ling has never broken his word so far."

"I'm still a little nervous. After all, this is a type of movie that I rarely come into contact with. It will take some time to figure it out," said Director Tong.

"I haven't had much exposure to it, but for Guan Ling, I can learn."

Han Sanpin said, "If Guan Ling can really create some achievements in this area, I will really admire him."

"Almighty genius?"

Director Tong said, and suddenly laughed again.
"Or is it, as people on the Internet say, various types of mountain-opening monsters?"

"None of that matters."

Han Sanpin picked up his teacup and clinked it with Director Tong.

"The important thing is, this is a great thing for Chinese films."

"Let's contact Ren Zhonglun later. Would Shanghai Mei be interested? We can also provide some support." Director Tong said.

"You and I are thinking alike."

……

Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.

This is the collective childhood memory of the generations born in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Those classic animated characters are definitely unforgettable:

Sun Wukong with Peking Opera mask in "Havoc in Heaven", the heroic Black Cat Sheriff in "Black Cat Sheriff", seven Calabash Brothers with different personalities and magical powers in "Calabash Brothers", the humorous and righteous Avanti in "The Story of Avanti", the kind-hearted snow child who was melted by fire to save the little white rabbit in "The Snow Child", the unkempt and mischievous Sloppy King in "The Adventures of the Sloppy King", the two clever and brave good mouse brothers who punish evil and promote good in "Shuke and Beta", and the brave and adventurous little male protagonist Lake in "The Magic Cube Building"...

To childhood viewers, the beginnings of these cartoons were like gods, worthy of worship.

Factory director's office.

Suddenly, an assistant knocked on the factory director's door.

The door opens.

"Zhangchang, things have changed."

"What?" Zhang looked up and checked his watch. "It's not time to get off work yet. Do you want to get off work?"

The assistant picked up the news on the Internet and walked over to Zhang Chang.

Pass it over.

"I mean, the animation industry is going to change."

Director Zhang put on his reading glasses and read the news.

"Lingyun Media has officially announced that it will soon launch a large number of animation projects, and Director Guan Ling will review and personally direct some of the films."

"Guan Ling?"

Director Zhang swallowed.

His whole body shook involuntarily, and suddenly, he could hardly hold back the tears, which flowed out of his eyes.

"Things have...changed."

Chinese Film, a god-like director, his eyes can actually turn to cartoons?

At this moment, Director Zhang's almost dead heart suddenly beat!
