China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 366 Zhang Yimou was dumbfounded. You're kicking my nose and my face, right? !
During the filming of "Scarlet Witch" in Hollywood, Guan Ling can be said to be in pain and joy.

Hard work filming during the day and hard work at night.

Sweat was pouring down on Fan Bingbing's body.

Fan Bingbing was also aware of her status after the filming of this movie was completed, so she worked very hard.

Wanda can modify probabilities with her magic.

As the leading actress, she can use her magic to modify Guan Ling, making him bigger or smaller, longer or shorter, just like the Ruyi Jingu Bang that can become hard or soft when taken out of the ear. This has made Fan Bingbing doubt himself for a while.

Is he a Marvel superhero or China's Sun Wukong, and a female monkey at that?

The filming of this movie was quite stressful for Guan Ling.

However, although there is no script that can be copied and pasted directly, there are three movies and American TV series as references, and Guan Ling also has plans for storyboards. What's more, after making movies in the past few years, Guan Ling's ability is already one of the strongest among the current directors, so it goes without saying.

The news that "Scarlet Witch" started filming in Hollywood also attracted the attention of the United States and China.

……

"Guan Ling's new work "Scarlet Witch: Origin" has started filming in Hollywood, starring Fan Bingbing. It is reported that the copyright of this script comes from DC Comics, and it is a superhero with the same origin as Marvel!"

"Scarlet Witch has started filming in a low-key manner. Following the success of The Age of Awakening, Director Guan has once again devoted himself to film production!"

When the news about Guan Ling appeared, a lot of news in the entertainment industry finally began to slowly appear in the media.

In fact, this news already existed, but the publicity intensity was too different from Guan Ling's.

In today's Chinese entertainment industry, any news related to Guan Ling will attract the most attention.

And Guan Ling never stopped.

Starting from May, Guan Ling helped You Benchang win the Cannes Best Actor Award, but then unfortunately lost the Palme d'Or in Cannes.

In June, "The Father" was released, breaking the box office record of Chinese art films, making countless people cry and causing the Chinese Elderly Association to step down. Later, Guan Ling announced that she would produce a national variety show about Alzheimer's disease.

This is the first time Lingyun Media has produced a variety show.

Under such popularity, the establishment of the two TV series is already very low in the industry.

In July, a tribute film in collaboration with Tsinghua University was announced by Lingyun Media.

Ning Hao's new work is on the agenda.

As the first Chinese film to be produced in collaboration with a university, and a special tribute film to Tsinghua University, this news attracted the attention of everyone in the industry.

This was the first time that Hou Hsiao-hsien and Guan Ling collaborated. Guan Ling wrote the film script of "Confessions" for Hou Hsiao-hsien and began to quickly cast the film throughout Taiwan.

Afterwards, "Inception" was released, claiming to break the box office record of "Avatar", and it premiered lavishly, carrying all the ardent hopes of Guan Ling and even Chinese filmmakers.

It completely broke Guan Ling's previous first-day box office record of "2012".

But shortly after its release, "Inception" was embroiled in the scandal of plagiarizing the Japanese animated film "Paprika".

Faced with this news, Guan Ling turned a deaf ear and let the news affect everyone for several days.

Then Guan Ling overturned the table.

Claims to be making an animated film.

It also announced some of the content that Lingyun Media had planned very early on, making many people know that Lingyun Media had previously controlled Huaqiang Fantawild Animation Company.

In August, the box office of "Inception" broke the highest record of China's box office held by "Avatar" for half a year, and completely put this crown on the head of the Chinese director himself.

It topped the box office and completely set off the Chinese domestic film industry.

After that, the broadcast time of "Awakening Age" was set, and Shandong Satellite TV used an unreasonable and shocking way to acquire the copyright of the TV series at a high price of 250 million yuan.

Then he sold it directly to CCTV as a middleman for 150 million yuan.

It completely created two records in the history of Chinese TV dramas. One record is the most expensive TV drama in history. It broke through the TV industry and more than doubled the cost of a single episode of the previous most expensive TV series, "The New Three Kingdoms"!
The second record is that a middleman from Shandong Satellite TV sold the product at a sky-high price, and the target was CCTV.

It completely shocked the television industry.

As September approaches, this month has little to do with Guan Ling, and no matter how hot it is, it will eventually disappear.

This is the nature of the entertainment industry.

After all, the entertainment industry is a performance world for a group of actors, and the popularity can change at any time. Sometimes the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and sometimes the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

Guan Ling has gone to Hollywood obediently.

However, the broadcast of the TV series "Awakening Age" was another hit and taught the industry the biggest lesson.

Kill all TV drama practitioners indiscriminately!

It makes people stupid.

The ratings are also rising steadily, and Shandong Satellite TV has now received advertising fees that it never thought possible in its previous life.

For four consecutive months, Guan Ling has been standing at the top of the Chinese entertainment industry, with no east wind or west wind.

No one can defeat him!

Guan Ling used "Inception" and "Awakening Age" to make the industry truly understand who the biggest boss is!

A street in the Chinese film and television industry, ask around to see who the daddy is!

At Venice, it was Wu Baige who won the Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement Award, and Guan Ling was the award presenter, but the announcement of the name of the first animated film and the release of the news that five animated films were in preparation,
It also caused a huge uproar in the global animation industry!

For five months.

Guan Ling firmly holds the headlines in the entertainment industry.

invincible!

Now that we have finally entered the filming process, there is finally less news about Guan Ling.

……

"As a historical costume drama, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" aims to surpass the ratings records of "The New Three Kingdoms" and "A Dream of Red Mansions". It has officially started filming at the Jingtai Temple, a sacred Buddhist site in the suburbs of Beijing. As a major drama of the Beijing Television Art Center in the new year, the TV series is directed by the famous director Zheng Xiaolong, and the actors include Sun Li, Chen Jianbin, Cai Shaofen, Liu Xuehua and a series of well-known actors!"

"After winning the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2007 for "Tuya's Wedding", and winning the Best Director Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival in April this year for the family emotional film "Reunion", director Wang Quan'an's film "White Deer Plain" started shooting today!
It is reported that the film has a luxurious and powerful cast, with Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Yuqi, Wu Gang, Duan Yihong and others appearing at the press conference.

As a book that won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, the industry has high hopes for this film! "

"After the controversy of 'Tang Wei quitting due to erotic scenes' and 'Fan Bingbing refused due to schedule', Zhang Yuqi was cast in the role of 'Tian Xiao'e', the protagonist in 'White Deer Plain' who has a lot of erotic scenes. Currently, Zhang Yuqi is in the middle of a contract termination lawsuit with Star Shine. After the breakup with Huang Shengyi, Stephen Chow's company is once again facing a breakup of a Star Girl!"

"Zhang Yuqi was calm during the interview, claiming that he had agreed with Star Shine to peacefully terminate the contract this month, and both parties had confirmed it via email. However, when the role in White Deer Plain was officially announced, Star Shine urgently changed its tune, claiming that he would either renew the contract or terminate it with compensation!"

A lot of news on the Internet has put Xinghui Company at the center of public attention.

Guan Ling found the news quite funny, as everyone said that Stephen Chow was stingy.

But it is really laughable to see it get to this point.

The contract was originally terminated peacefully, but they forced Zhang Yuqi to pay just because of a role. This is a bit too stupid.

"After this incident, even if Xinghui Company has another 'Star Girl', it will definitely not be a mainland artist."

Fan Bingbing looked at the news, speechless.

"The thing this industry is least afraid of is having no artists. As long as Zhou Xingxing is there, no matter how much people mock him online, it will not affect the development of this company."

Guan Ling touched Fan Bingbing's chin.

"Having a boss like me is a blessing you will never get in your entire lifetime.

Not only do I not need that much money from you, but I can also feed you well every time."

Fan Bingbing nodded and crawled down again.

……

By late September, the box office of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" became the focus of the industry.

In addition to this art film by Zhang Yimou, what surprised the industry even more was that after a month of release, the box office of "Lost on Journey" still broke 100 million.

This low-budget comedy film, under the pressure of "Inception" and "House of Flying Siege", has carved out a niche for itself.

There is a lot of box office news about these two movies on the Internet, but the attitudes are completely different.

"Lost on Journey is a sincere and independent film. It does not use parody, knockoff or even remake methods to support the plot of the film. Instead, it draws from bits and pieces of life to tell people a complete and simple story. As a low-budget comedy film, the film not only successfully presents super dense jokes to the audience through the hilarious combination of Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng, but also allows the audience to see a thoughtful comedy in today's world where nonsensical and knockoff comedy films are rampant. Many classic hilarious dialogues in the film are gradually circulating on the Internet!"

"Guan Ling Lingyun Media invested in a low-budget movie to create a box office miracle. Lost on Journey broke through 100 million box office! Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng played a happy partner who returned home during the Spring Festival!"

Netizens’ comments were also full of jokes.

Many people directly used the memes from the movie, causing people who had seen the movie and those who had not to applaud.

"Boss, the water of the Yellow River is really yellow." "Brother, this is the Yangtze River"

"What the Chinese film market lacks is not blockbusters. For blockbusters, Guan Ling is enough. What the current film market lacks is this kind of sincere small- and medium-cost movies. Guan Ling's investment in this movie shows that he is really doing good for Chinese films!"

"Similar to a combination of A World Without Thieves and Returning to One's Roots, this is a comedy that exceeds the expectations of Chinese audiences! From the Crazy Movie series to Nightclub, this movie once again proves that China's warm comedy route is a vast genre film market!"

Under the pressure created by "Lost on Journey", "Under the Hawthorn Tree" withstood the test and became a love movie promoted as "the purest love movie in history".

"The Hawthorn Tree" grossed 4200 million in its first four days of box office and was selected as the opening film at the Hawaii Film Festival.

As an internationally renowned director, every work of Zhang Yimou will cause great controversy.

As for the current first week box office results, this result is far from being average for Zhang Yimou.

Moreover, after the release of this movie, it was almost highly controversial.

As a film adapted from the extremely popular novel of the same name, this is Zhang Yimou's second work after the Olympics. It has received widespread attention throughout the entire process of casting, starting, shooting and broadcasting.

But the final comments were still quite controversial.

Although the content of this movie touched countless audiences, the pure love story of the third sister Jingqiu deeply touched people's hearts.

There are no intensely contradictory plots, no lingering love stories, but more about pure love that is selfless and dedicated.

This is indeed the film's strength.

However, there are still many viewers who criticized the movie for being boring.

Many viewers also thought that there were too many black silk subtitles and narrations in this movie, and they cursed the director for being too lazy.

They didn't act out anything that could be acted, and instead used voice-overs with black and white screens to tell the story, which completely upset many fans.

Others think that the film is well made. As a forbidden love story in a special era, some say that the film shows that director Zhang Yimou has fulfilled the innocent uncle's dream of having a loli shota.

tedious!

The whole film is like distilled water!
Some people claim that this is the cleanest and most youthful love movie, but the feeling it gives to the audience has indeed become synonymous with boredom.

Anyway, it caused quite a bit of controversy among the audience.

Some people think it was tear gas, some people think it was boiled water.

The media loves to stir up trouble. Faced with this situation, many media went to interview Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping.

Faced with the current situation of cinemas, both of them claimed that they could accept the box office.

After all, as an art film, this box office result is already acceptable.

……

New picture.

Although the two people's external publicity and interview content are similar, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping are indeed in a rather serious relationship at present.

Some differences are almost obvious.

"You are not going to Venice. This is not a good choice. I tolerate it. You said you would consider Chinese films and the local market, but now you have accepted the invitation of the Busan Film Festival. I really can't understand it."

Zhang Weiping sat on a chair with one hand flat on the table and his two fingers tapping on the table.

"These two newcomers, I have to take them to see the world."

"Then why don't you go to Venice? Do you know how much the copyright can be sold for if you go there?"

Zhang Weiping fell into the money hole.

"Does the sales amount have anything to do with me? From "Three Guns" to now, I haven't received any salary for the films."

Zhang Yimou rolled his eyes at Zhang Weiping.

"Back to the choice of The Flowers of War, I think the passionate scenes in it are a good way to promote and hype it up."

"Can you please focus on the art itself? You keep interfering with my casting and making it very difficult for me to do my job."

The two chatted for a while.

Suddenly, the assistant came in.

"Director Zhang, President Zhang, Lingyun Media has announced its second animated film."

"We'll talk about it later." Zhang Weiping said, "It doesn't have much to do with us."

"Maybe, it has something to do with us." The assistant raised his head, a little embarrassed.

Zhang Yimou stood up and saw the news from his assistant, and his face fell.

"Lingyun Media announced the title of its second animated film, "Your Name," and claimed that it will be a pinnacle of pure love that interweaves emotions and fantasies between a boy and a girl!"

Zhang Yimou suddenly felt a little numb.

He was dumbfounded. What was going on? Are you trying to kick my nose and my face?!
