China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 354 New Script!
This year's Venice International Film Festival is actually a relatively special year.

This year's Venice Film Festival will be the last one hosted by Mark Muller, president of the Venice Film Festival, and he will step down in the first half of next year.

The only Chinese-language film competing for the awards this year is "Jiabiangou", which is basically out of the running. In addition, Wu Baige will premiere his "Sword Rain" in Venice.
Then there is the movie "Fist of Fury: Chen Zhen". Liu Weiqiang has revealed in a previous interview that he will bring Zhen Zidan and Shawn Yue to participate in it.

Apart from this, there was no more trouble for the Chinese-speaking people.

Guan Ling has no connection with Mark Muller, but the reason why Guan Ling went there this time was because Quentin invited her.

Originally, Quentin contacted Guan Ling and wanted Guan Ling to be a judge in Venice this time.

But Guan Ling didn't have the time and declined.

But after Quentin contacted Mark Muller about this matter, he decided to let Guan Ling appear at the award ceremony as a good wish to Mark Muller.

After all, during the old guy's tenure, three Chinese-language films won the Golden Lion Award.

In fact, it is more than that. In 2005, the Golden Lion Award was won by Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain". Although it is not a Chinese-language film, it is still closely related to Chinese-language directors.

In fact, in the four years of 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Golden Lion Awards were basically monopolized by Chinese directors.

In this situation, Guan Ling is the first Chinese in mainland China.

This is the player that Mark Muller most wants to invite before he retires.

It doesn't matter whether there is a movie or not.

This is what the other party said.

Guan Ling was speechless too.

After all, it was already September by then, and Guan Ling's new movie had basically started shooting in Hollywood.

It won't take too much time in the past.

Quentin had helped Guan Ling a lot in Hollywood before.

What's more, this time Quentin has invited her so kindly that Guan Ling can't just ignore him.

I can only accept it.

But when Japan discovered that the Venice Film Festival’s film list did not include any Chinese films in the main competition, it started to mock Guan Ling.

But I didn’t expect Guan Ling to be the special guest of this Venice Expo.

This time, netizens at home and abroad were happy.

"Director Guan has a bad temper. This little Japanese guy is looking for trouble."

"I hope we won't give the Japanese a slap in the face then."

"It's hard to say. I still remember what Director Guan said about Japan when Nanjing Nanjing was released. This guy is definitely a populist."

"If you think that not forgetting historical hatred is populism, I will spit in your face!"

Some media outlets with a nosy mind took the initiative to block the door of Lingyun Media, wanting to interview Guan Ling.

Fortunately, they got through.

"Director Guan, this is your first time at the Venice International Film Festival. Do you have anything to say to Japanese fans?"

"I know you want to use my answer to attract traffic," Guan Ling said, "but I really don't have anything to say. If you really want to say something, please continue to pay attention to "Inception". When the animation comes out, the movie will answer for me."

Guan Ling is very busy and he is too lazy to fight with those little bastards on the Internet.

As July is coming to an end.

The Scarlet Witch movie is basically on the agenda.

In fact, Guan Ling had already given the script of this play to Guy Naoto, and the specific content had already been adjusted. Fan Bingbing is the absolute heroine of this movie.

Guan Ling is unable to get involved in Marvel and other movies.

And "Scarlet Witch" is closely related to them.

For Guan Ling, this attempt was worth it.

……

"Director Guan, I'm going to start the camera."

After the actors of “Never Gone” were confirmed, Ning Hao started filming very quickly.

Ning Hao had a little mental breakdown recently because of the frequent delays in the production of "No Man's Land".

This time, Ning Hao was in a state of high tension as he had a script written by Guan Ling himself. This was also the first film in China dedicated to a school and was aimed at Tsinghua University.

Afraid of messing up.

He has been under a lot of pressure during this period, causing Xing Nana to feel a little pain every morning when she wakes up.

Xing Nana didn't know whether to thank Guan Ling or scold her.

Xie was grateful because Guan directed a script that could revive her husband's career.

She hated it because Director Guan's script was too intense and she couldn't handle it.

But after Ning Hao confirmed the time for the launch conference to be held at Tsinghua University, it still caused quite a stir in the industry.

Guan Ling did not participate in the launch conference.

But the topic never once eluded him.

Just a few days ago, "Awakening Age", as a tribute TV series under Guan Ling, broke the record of the sales price of Chinese TV drama copyrights, and it almost doubled in one go.

This time, "Never Gone" gave Ning Hao too many additional comparisons.

"Director Ning, the time from when the script of this play came out to when filming started was quite short. What do you think?"

"It's useless to ask me about this. I'm an executor, not a thinker." Ning Hao said with a smile, "Director Guan's script has little to do with who shoots it. Many people in the industry are very clear about this. So the fact that you asked this question shows that you still need to practice."

Ning Hao's self-deprecating remarks lit up the scene.

The media at the scene thought about how Ning Hao would praise Guan Ling, but they did not expect that Ning Hao would make such a self-destructive statement.

The reporters were all confused.

The actors on the scene also laughed out loud.

Huang Xiaoming was interviewed and asked why he chose such a movie?
Huang Xiaoming was very frank: "Director Guan's script, Director Ning's direction, and Tsinghua's tribute film, the industry wants to play more than just me."

These words were spoken sincerely, but they directly broke the defenses of many actors in the industry.

When asked about Zhu Yawen, his answer was even more direct.

"I got a call from Director Guan at the time, and he said there was a role, so I came."

I didn't ask about the script, the role, or even the pay.

He said yes, so I came.

The actors who saw the news had mixed emotions, especially the other actors under Wang Jinghua.
Zhu Yawen and Guan Ling have a very good relationship, which is actually no secret in the industry.

Therefore, many actors dare not offend Zhu Yawen, and some actresses in the crew also treat Zhu Yawen as their brother.

But Zhu Yawen was tied up and dared only to make it shorter, not longer at all.

But his words caused waves of emotion in the hearts of almost all the actors in the industry.

A few words determine the role, and it is Guan Ling's role, an existence that no one can look up to.

……

"I told Director Guan that Zhu Yawen is a man who knows how to hype people up. It's obvious that just chatting a few words would be enough, but when he said that, the circle was blown up."

Liu Yifei called Guan Ling, "Shu Chang told me that Zhu Yawen was just pretending to be awesome and got struck by lightning. Others couldn't get roles even if they wanted to, but he was waiting for you to call and invite him in person."

"Actually, I understand what you mean," Guan Ling smiled, "Did Shuchang whisper something in your ear?"

"Nothing can be hidden from you,"

Liu Yifei smiled, "Shu Chang wants me to ask her if there is a role suitable for her in the two TV series you mentioned before, the one with Yang Mi."

"Yes, she is. Is she willing to be Yang Mi's partner?"

Guan Ling asked, "There are many female characters in the drama Palace, so it's not difficult for Shu Chang to play one. In fact, there is also a role for Shu Chang in the original version."

It's actually a pity for this guy.

He wasted his popularity at the peak of his career and then never recovered. After Guan Ling finished speaking, Liu Yifei fell silent.

After a moment, she said, "If you don't play a supporting role for Yang Mi, do you have a role suitable for her?"

As Shu Chang's best friend, Liu Yifei, who is now a leading female star in the entertainment industry, naturally does not want Shu Chang to play a supporting role to Yang Mi after getting the role of Guan Ling.

But she couldn't say this directly at the beginning, as it would make Shu Chang seem greedy.

Guan Ling's straightforward words made her feel inexplicably moved.

Since Guan Ling said so, he must have some thoughts in his mind.

"Actually, there is a movie I've wanted to shoot for a long time. Now that you reminded me of it, I think she's quite suitable."

"Really?"

"It's just suitable. If she doesn't do well in the audition, I won't let her off just because she's your best friend."

Guan Ling said.

Liu Yifei and Guan Ling have been together for a long time, so she can naturally recognize Guan Ling's tone.

There is more of a teasing element.
"Thank you."

"Just thank you verbally?" Guan Ling said with a smile.

"Wait for me a moment."

Liu Yifei was obviously a little excited, and then Guan Ling waited for about half a minute, and Liu Yifei's voice continued to come from the phone.

"How about coming to my house?"

"Aunt Liu?"

"She plays mahjong." Liu Yifei said, "She won't come home all night."

Guan Ling:…….

After hanging up the phone, Liu's mother gave Liu Yifei a thumbs up.
"Are you stupid, girl? Once this phone call comes, our home will become a battlefield today. Relationships are like this. I'll give you a little favor, and you'll give me a little kindness. This kind of affection is cultivated in this way."

"In the past half month since the release of Inception, you have been very busy, doing roadshows and promotions everywhere. He has also been very busy, with press conferences here and new scripts there. As the saying goes, after a long drought, a drop of rain finally arrives. Today, mom, I will go out and stay in a hotel first."

Liu's mother's words were so fierce that Liu Yifei's face turned red all of a sudden.

Liu Yifei's eyes widened after hearing what was said: "Today our home is a battlefield."

"Mom, can you please pay more attention to your image in the future!"

Liu Yifei was speechless.

"Some things are not wrong if you say them openly."

Liu's mother ignored Liu Yifei's words and just patted Liu Yifei on the shoulder.

"But now it seems that he still thinks highly of you. Being able to write a script for Shu Chang shows that he still cares about your friendship."

"Of course, you have to pay attention too. After all, Shuchang is about the same age as you..."

"Mom, what are you talking about?!"

This time, Liu Yifei really lived in Bengbu. "That's my friend."

"You should be more careful."

Liu's mother was too lazy to say anything more and turned away.

……

After entering Liu Yifei's home.

Guan Ling was greeted by a pair of bright red lips.

"Did your mother really go out to play mahjong?" After kissing for more than a minute, Guan Ling held Liu Yifei's face and asked her with a smile.

"Correct."

Guan Ling sat on the sofa with a faint smile on his lips. He pointed to the coffee table, where there were two cups of water, still hot.

"Hey."

Seeing what happened, Liu Yifei immediately covered her face in shame.

Then she looked at Guan Ling from between her fingers and said timidly, "My mother just left."

"Now it seems that Auntie completely agrees with what's going on between us?"

More than completely agreeing, she almost washed me and sent me to your bed. Liu Yifei nodded speechlessly.

Guan Ling's lips curled up into a dragon king smile. He still remembered the first time he took Liu Yifei to Hollywood, Liu's mother was wary of him as if he were a thief.

But now, everything has changed.

In order to clear the battlefield for herself, Liu's mother left decisively and smoothly.

In fact, Guan Ling had been to Liu Yifei's house many times before, but had never played an away game here.

This arrival gave Guan Ling a different feeling.

The two chatted for a while about Shu Chang's movies. Guan Ling didn't go into detail. He was thinking about the movie "Bad Genius". Shu Chang looks like a top student and his acting skills are good enough, so he is more than qualified to play this role.

Liu Sisi, Yang Mi and others are actually not that suitable.

Liu Yifei can actually act, but Guan Ling didn't want her to play the second or first female lead because Liu Yifei is too beautiful.

No matter how much makeup you use to make her look ugly, it may be difficult to complete the characterization.

After the chat, Guan Ling hugged Liu Yifei and curled up on the sofa to watch TV.

"By the way, what's your TV show about? Why is it so expensive?"

Liu Yifei suddenly remembered and asked.

"Now that I've told you, what do you think of it then?"

Guan Ling smiled and said, "It's a long story, so I won't spoil it for you yet."

"Ok."

Although the two were hugging each other, their hug was getting tighter and tighter.

Liu Yifei has actually been under a lot of pressure recently. Her frame is not actually broad, but she is not thin either. She has a lot of flesh where she has flesh, and her skin is very smooth and delicate.

Guan Ling's hands became more and more restless.

It's like stroking a big doll.

Liu Yifei's ears were getting redder and redder.

"Thank you."

Suddenly, she turned around and hugged Guan Ling, "I know that you can choose anyone for your movie roles. The fact that you gave the role to Shu Chang must have something to do with me.

Actually, I just wanted to ask for her, and I didn’t have any other intentions. ”

"It's okay." Guan Ling said, "I have to film for Fan Bingbing in the next period of time. It is true that I have neglected you a little. It is only right that I compensate you."

"What?" Liu Yifei was a little confused. "How come you gave the movie to Shu Chang as compensation for me?"

Seeing Guan Ling smile, Liu Yifei suddenly realized, "Are you kidding me?"

"In China, you can actually make a few movies first to maintain the popularity. Next time, you won't be the third role in "Inception." Guan Ling touched Liu Yifei's head and said slowly.

"Although I am very touched, but when I think about the fact that you will be going to Hollywood and I won't be able to see you for a long time, I miss you very much."

Liu Yifei pouted, "It's so annoying in our circle. Lovers disappear at any time."

"My love, disappeared?"

Guan Ling was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yifei looked at Guan Ling's abnormality and felt a little strange.

"I thought of a script." Guan Ling said, "I promised Zhang Ziyi to help her before, and you reminded me."
