China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 356: An unexpected domestic animation, an endless ridicule!

【Modified】

"You are very bold now, wearing Pinru's clothes."

Guan Ling smiled and did not comment on Zhang Ziyi's words.

"Huh? What?"

Zhang Ziyi was a little confused. She didn't hear Guan Ling's words at all.

"I'm not that interested in you. I don't like sharing my girlfriend with people in the same circle."

Guan Ling's words silenced Zhang Ziyi.

In fact, Guan Ling has seen this situation before. There are too many female stars who want to throw themselves at him, but it is rare to see someone like Zhang Ziyi throw himself at him twice.

After all, it had been rejected in the United States.

"Although I am wild, I am tight-lipped. Director Guan, don't you want to give it a try?" Zhang Ziyi said word by word.

Is your mouth tight?

Guan Ling thought about it for a moment and recalled her role as the pure and energetic Zhaodi.

In fact, Zhang Ziyi is not ugly. She is only in her early thirties and still thinks of herself as a child.

Guan Ling had seen her old photos when she was young. When she pouts her lips, she looks very girlish, and her facial features are quite delicate. She has a good appearance and temperament.

She has a petite figure, so her mouth is naturally small too.

If she thinks it's tight, then it's probably really tight.

After all, Zhang Ziyi is an international celebrity with a beautiful figure. It is unrealistic for any director to say that he has no feelings for her at all.

It’s just that Zhang Ziyi looks down on others.

This time, Zhang Ziyi took the initiative because he thought he had the possibility of getting close to Guan Ling.

After all, Director Guan just said casually that it would allow her to return to the top in Hollywood.

The temptation is too great!
Others said that Zhang Ziyi didn't believe it.

Even if Zhang Yimou was sitting in front of Zhang Ziyi now and said, "I will make a domestic film to help your popularity in China return to its peak."

She didn't believe it either.

But this person is Guan Ling.

But he was not talking about China, but Hollywood.

If there is one person in China who can do this, it is only Guan Ling.

So Zhang Ziyi was afraid of losing this opportunity.

If Guan Ling is willing,

So she didn't mind at all, she just wanted to do her best to grab this life-saving straw.

"Although many people have ideas about you, I don't need them."

Guan Ling's voice came over, "To me, you are just a choice partner with good acting skills. Rather than having anything happen with you, I would rather make money from you."

This woman is not a good person.

He is very ambitious and his sister doesn't listen to him.

The red bellyband proves everything.

Guan Ling would never give the other party such an opportunity.

Not even once.

These straightforward words made Zhang Ziyi's face change slightly. Given Guan Ling's current status, she wanted to have something to do with Guan Ling even in her dreams.

But the other party's rejection made her seem so worthless.

An inexplicable sadness came to my heart.

"Director Guan, it's just a joke, I hope you don't mind."

But in a flash, a smile appeared on her face again and she responded in a teasing tone.

"I'll send you the script first. Wait for my notification on the specific start time."

Guan Ling snorted at the other party's answer. He was too lazy to communicate any further and then hung up the phone.

At this moment in the cafe, Gong Li looked at Zhang Ziyi through the transparent glass of the cafe, and her expression changed slightly.

"Director Guan is looking for you. Is there something?"

When Zhang Ziyi came in, Gong Li couldn't help but ask.

"There's a play."

Zhang Ziyi had a smile on his face, "Director Guan said he would take me back to Hollywood."

"Is this true?" Gong Li was stunned.

"It's more real than real gold." Zhang Ziyi changed his humble appearance and became full of vigor and vitality.
"Director Guan said so himself."

Gong Li looked up at her, took another sip of coffee, and a strange emotion surged in her heart.

"That's not right. I'm from Shandong Province. I grew up in Jinan. Director Guan wants to develop the Shandong circle, so why doesn't he look for me for the role?"

Weird thoughts swirled around like a tangled thread, and then she suddenly remembered that she was already a Singaporean.

In the silence, Zhang Ziyi opened his email.

“The script has arrived.”

"Can I see it?"

Gong Li couldn't help it, she was also very curious.

"Then let's take a look at it together, but you know my situation now. Although Director Guan didn't say it, I don't think he necessarily wants the media to know, so don't tell me about Sister Ha Gong."

Zhang Ziyi is quite generous.

Gong Li nodded and agreed.

The two men went to Gong Li's home, where there was a printer. They printed two copies and began to read them word by word.

Gone lover.

From this name, the two of them felt a strange aura.

No wonder Director Guan chose to shoot this movie in Hollywood instead of China.

This was their first thought.

But as you can tell from the name, this script is about a love story.

After watching it, the two realized that this was not about love, but marriage.

Gong Li narrowed her eyes. She is married now, so she felt deeply about this.

But as she read further on the script, Gong Li's eyes became more and more expectant.

There are many films about marriage, those about sweetness and loyalty, sadness and touching moments, family affairs and ups and downs, and they are probably of similar types both at home and abroad.

But this movie is clearly an outlier.

At the beginning of the script, on the fifth wedding anniversary, the wife mysteriously disappeared.

Everything that happened afterwards was confusing, thrilling and terrifying.

In the early stages of the plot, people mistakenly believe the disappearance of their lover to be murder, and the murderer is, of course, the husband.

An unexpected encounter, an unexpected love, under the sweet atmosphere, the two fell in love with a kiss.

The wife is a best-selling author and the husband is the perfect man for her.

The beauty of love makes both parties fall into marriage. Some people say that marriage is a besieged city.

The same was true for the two of them. The initial sweetness and passion soon turned into the beginning of one conflict after another.

The wife had to pay off her parents' debts, and the two of them were unemployed. The pressure of life caused the rift between them to deepen.

The conflict intensified. The husband wanted a child to ease the marital situation and to re-cultivate their relationship, but his wife refused.

So he cheated on his wife and wanted a divorce.

On the fifth anniversary of their marriage, his wife disappeared, leaving behind countless clues. People who read the script can see it clearly, but Gong Li also understands the camera. She knows that all the audience will accompany the police.
Put the blame of murder on her husband.

Driven by public opinion, the husband's situation is difficult. All clues and evidence point to Nick cheating on his wife and killing her. Only the husband and his sister know that all this is a conspiracy by his wife. They believe that his wife is definitely not dead.

Later, at the request of his sister, the male protagonist sought help from a well-known lawyer (who specializes in "bloody lawsuits").

Under the guidance of a lawyer, the male protagonist found the female protagonist's ex-boyfriend. Because her ex-boyfriend had been imprisoned for rape, the male protagonist was unable to prove himself, so he could only look for other possibilities, wanting to know whether the convicted ex-boyfriend had similar hidden secrets.

After reading the entire script, Gong Li felt her scalp tingling.

Although the story eventually formed a chronological order in her mind according to the script, when Gong Li closed the script and recalled each scene again, she felt like she was exploding.

Because the overall story was broken up, split up, and interspersed, it eventually formed a story of a high-IQ crime.

This is a story that makes you unpredictable from beginning to end about what will happen next!

The narrative perspective keeps switching.
Truth and lies are constantly intertwined.

Gong Li felt like she was going crazy.

"If it weren't for Director Guan, I'm afraid China wouldn't be able to write a script of this level even if it took another five years."

Gong Li raised her head and glanced at Zhang Ziyi, "You are so lucky."

Her envy was about to turn into jealousy. She had acted in art films and commercial films before, and had lived in the mainland and been to Hollywood.

She has seen many scripts, but this one is definitely one of the best she has ever seen.

Marriage is an illusion. With only a few characters and a top-notch story, this movie not only writes about the evil of human nature, but it also writes about the evil of marriage.

"Has Director Guan ever been married?"

Zhang Ziyi looked up in fear several times, but then lowered her head again. When Gong Li praised her for her good luck, she just let out a heartfelt sigh.

The plot here almost turned her mind into a mess.

In fact, Zhang Ziyi has not been doing well in the past few years. She was abandoned by wealthy Hollywood tycoons and was kicked when she was down by Chow Yun-fat. Those good people in the past suddenly became a distant story this year.

And in this movie, that intelligent woman, or the Avenger, is no different from her mental state at the moment.

When the lover is gone, everyone points fingers at him. When the lover comes back, it is like a bottomless abyss. Marriage is like a gorgeous robe, which is the face. But it is crawling with lice, which is the inside.

In this script, both people are scumbags.

He's just an obvious scumbag.

One is a scumbag in secret.

A match made in heaven, an extremely broken worldview, and a bloody killing scene, although it challenged Zhang Ziyi's psychological and physical tolerance.

But at this moment, she felt a sense of comfort after orgasm.

Moreover, in this script, the heroine has a lot of room for acting, more than any other role she has played so far.

She also understood why Director Guan chose her to star in this movie.

If it were someone else, it might be quite difficult.

After reading the script, neither of them answered each other's questions, but fell into a long silence.

It was several minutes later that Gong Li repeated what she had just said.

"You are so lucky."

Zhang Ziyi didn't say anything this time, just nodded.

Yes, I am very lucky.

To meet Guan Ling.

……

Guan Ling didn't know that Zhang Ziyi was already extremely grateful to him at this moment, and Lingyun Media had already started a large-scale promotion of "Lost on Journey".

This movie, starring Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, was invested by Guan Ling.

After the release date was moved to August, there were not many competitors.

To be honest, it is the movie "Full Alert" which was released earlier.

"Full Alert" is actually quite bold and is scheduled to be released on August 8.

Throughout August, there are many well-known movies, including "Shrek 8: The Monsters" to be released on August 16, "The Expendables" and "World Expo" to be released on August 4, and "The Informer" to be released on August 8.

The promotion for these movies had already been launched a long time ago, but the popularity was actually very low.

Since the release of "Inception", Guan Ling has dominated all the hot searches in the entertainment industry.

The most luxurious premiere in Chinese history, crushing the entire July box office, plagiarism storm, the announcement of the animated film, and the shocking copyright fees of the new TV series.

The media has a firm grasp on the traffic password.

Wherever there is Ling, there is news everywhere.

"Lost on Journey" is about to be released. It is invested by Lingyun Media, directed by Ye Weimin, and starred by Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang. As a low-budget movie investment that Lingyun Media has not made in a long time, can this comedy create good results?"

"In an interview recently, director Chen Musheng of "Full Alert" expressed his admiration for Guan Ling's "Inception". However, as the first Chinese-language action blockbuster about mutants, "Full Alert" can be said to be the leading film of the domestic Chinese-language blockbusters in August!"

“The subject matter is completely innovative! Standard Hollywood productions appear in Chinese-language films! “Resident Evil”, “Mutants” and “Urban Disaster” attract a large number of audiences!”

"It is reported that one of the leading actors in "Full Alert" is Wu Jing, who has previously joined Lingyun Media. This time, "Full Alert", "Inception" and "Lost on Journey" will feature actors from Lingyun Media in three competitions!"

"China's first X-Men mutant film, Aaron Kwok claims he is not afraid of Guan Ling, and his goal is to win the first place in the August box office!"

Among the scattered news, there is also news about Cheng Long.

"The only animated film authorized by the Shanghai World Expo, "World Expo Mobilization" has many stars creating a journey through time and space, and the voice cast is extremely strong, with Cheng Long, Li Bingbing, Xie Na, Zhou Libo and others gathering in the animated roles!"

"The first domestically produced animated film after Guan Ling claimed that he would be involved in it is about to be released. This animation is produced by an international team that has participated in the production of blockbusters such as "Transformers" and "Star Wars". It continuously innovates 3D animation production technology and fully draws on international models. I hope it can make a good start for the revitalization of domestic animation as Guan Ling said!"

Guan Ling was speechless when he saw the news. This movie had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, he didn't even have any memory of this animation, so he didn't take it seriously.

August is the last month of the summer season, and the competition is still fierce.

Although "Full Alert" was inferior to "Inception" in terms of horror deterrence, it still earned 32 million in the first weekend. After six days of release, the box office was close to 60 million.

"Lost on Journey" performed mediocrely on its first day of release. It did not unleash its endless potential due to the investment from Lingyun Media, with the box office on the first day being only around 9 million.

But people didn't completely associate this movie with Guan Ling.

After all, "Inception" is still weighing heavily on everyone's heads. Even though it has been released for more than a month, its weekend box office is still hovering around 20 million, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks the record of "Avatar".

On August 8, "Expo Mobilization" was finally released.

After Guan Ling announced that he would get involved in animated films, this animated film representing the image of China World Expo attracted a lot of attention from the industry.

He's bragging a lot.

The next day, everyone was dumbfounded.

Douban score is 2.2.

Breaking Douban's rating record.

Chinese netizens have made countless outrageous remarks on Douban.

With the quality of domestic cartoons, Guan Ling, do you really want to give up your comfort zone and step into this muddy water? !
On the Internet, countless netizens have raised their deepest questions!
