China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 383 The Godfather of Chinese Scripts? You are a wholesaler, right?!

When Guan Ling received multiple nominations at the Golden Globe Awards and You Benchang was directly nominated for the Golden Globe Best Actor,

Actors in the industry have already had their eyes on this.

Many people don’t even have the appetite to eat.

Guan Ling had previously collaborated with Zhang Yimou on a new movie, but so far, after "Scarlet Witch", Guan Ling has not yet decided on a movie to shoot herself.

Many people are looking for suitable roles.

The movie box office in December itself started high and ended low. The box office momentum of "The Orphan of Zhao" and "The Laughing Man" in the later period was completely incomparable to the initial stage.

And with the arrival of mid-month.

The industry has begun to turn its attention to the upcoming "If You Are the One 2" and "Taken 3".

Because these two movies, one is released at the end of December and the other is released on New Year's Day.

As two sequels, the industry actually had some expectations about the box office performance of these two films.

Precisely because of the concern that If You Are the One 2 would be criticized too harshly, the film was given a ten-day hiatus, which was the greatest sincerity shown to Feng Xiaogang.

After all, Guan Ling has been stepping on Feng Xiaogang to move up in the past two years, and Feng Xiaogang almost became autistic.

After he apologized, Guan Ling did not take the initiative to find time for him to release the movie, which was already a favor outside the law.

But apart from these two films, promotions for more films have also begun.

The 2011 Spring Festival and Valentine's Day were not far apart, and the so-called Spring Festival period caused the two traditional periods to overlap.

Films such as "New Shaolin Temple", "Wulin Waijia", "I Know Women's Heart", "Love is Not Blind", "The Green Hornet" and other films specially "tailored" for this period are also ready for release.

In addition, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and "Tron: Legacy" will also be released.

Throughout the end of December, as well as the January and February periods, the Lunar New Year film season will see a surge in film releases.

For the audience, it will make them face the dilemma of making a choice!
As for the market, many people in the industry estimate that this momentum may create a box office peak for mainland Chinese New Year movies.

Even if it cannot beat the Lunar New Year box office record held by "Avatar", perhaps the total box office may be higher than last year's Lunar New Year box office.

But all of this was completely overshadowed by the Golden Globe nomination.

Almost all the attention was attracted by Guan Ling alone!
People in the industry are all waiting for the results of the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars.

And the theaters are still waiting for their own box office hero to save them from the dire straits.

For this treasure, they still want to put more pressure on "Taken 3".

……

The news before Bona's listing bell is coming.

Attracted many people's attention,
In the meantime, some of the operations that Guan Ling and Yu Dong had already prepared for the listing gradually began to appear in the news.

For example, while the news that Guan Ling refused to cooperate with Bona shocked the industry, in addition to Yu Dong's continued support for the shares, Guan Ling also sent people to acquire some of Bona's shares, which was considered a bargain at a low price.

Yu Dong himself has become more in control of the company.

Everyone is happy.

December 12, four days after the Golden Globe nominations.

The heat is dropping.

"If You Are the One 2" held a grand premiere in Beijing. Huayi and Feng Xiaogang invited many people this time, including Zhang Guoli, Zhang Jizhong, Gu Changwei, Jiang Wenli and others.

And the actors in the play are all in place.

Ge You not only gave an outstanding performance in "The Orphan of Zhao", but was also the protagonist in "If You Are the One 2", standing at the center of the crowd.

Shu Qi, Da Zui, Ady An, Liao Fan and other main creators also appeared on the red carpet.

As a Lunar New Year comedy completely different from "The Laughing Man", after the premiere, many people in the industry called this movie a "tear gas bomb" wrapped in comedy sugar coating.

Feng Xiaogang finished filming this movie within a month and a half after filming "The Great Earthquake", and it seems that he has not broken away from the pattern of "The Great Earthquake".

The whole movie is still a bit pessimistic.
I want to use this to show the mixed joys and sorrows of life.

There were also some lines that were personal attacks on the actors, which caused laughter at the premiere.

For example, Ge You said of Shu Qi: "The distance between his eyebrows is too wide, he looks a bit like a flounder." He also saw Da Zui: "This one is bigger than the previous one."

Shu Qi was interviewed on the spot and said with a smile that everyone called her a flounder. She was angry at first, but when she saw everyone laughing happily, she felt that she had sacrificed for art.

What he said was righteous.

I don't know what kind of sacrifice this is. Can it be compared to mustard and being beaten? That sacrifice is risking one's life?!

Ren Dahua has seen big scenes before!

But after the premiere, what first set off the entertainment industry was not the quality of the film, but a passage Feng Xiaogang said during an interview at the premiere.

"Will I shoot "Non 3"? It depends on whether Huayi and I will have close cooperation in the future."

Many people believe that the meaning of this sentence has already revealed Feng Xiaogang’s thoughts!

"The honeymoon period between Feng Xiaogang and Huayi has completely ended? Feng Xiaogang is suspected of ending his cooperation with Huayi?!"

"After more than a decade of cooperation, it all came to nothing. Where will Huayi go in the future?"

All kinds of news flooded in, but neither Huayi nor Feng Xiaogang responded.

In fact, not responding is already a form of acquiescence.

While netizens were watching the excitement with great enthusiasm, many people in the industry remained awestruck.

I saw him build a tall building and entertain guests.

And at this moment, the building collapsed.

For Huayi, Feng Xiaogang is definitely the top director of their company!

His attitude also means that Huayi has completely lost the last bit of its golden brand.

Netizens once again dug up the previous competitive relationship between Huayi and Lingyun, and some bosses in the circle couldn't help but gasp.

After Guan Ling used sniping methods to make Huayi lose the confidence and opportunities for financing and listing, he turned around and attracted more capital favor himself.

As a result, the difficulty of Huayi's listing has increased sharply.

And now, it is nonsense that they clearly want to make a comeback by relying on "Earthquake" and "If You Are the One 2".

Instead, a gold-plated sign was lost.

Many people understand that since then, Huayi has become second-rate.

Compared with companies like Bona and Guangxian, they even lack the opportunity to cooperate with Guan Ling, which is really regrettable.

……

While Feng Xiaogang is caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, the promotion of "Taken 3" has reached its most grand stage.

"The classic action film Taken 3, written by Guan Ling, is about to premiere worldwide. This highly anticipated film will continue to be starred by Chinese Kung Fu superstar Cheng Long and Inception dream maker Liu Yifei, recreating the image of a secret agent dad who risks his life to save his daughter!"

"According to our news, this movie is different from the previous two. For the first time, Cheng Long will meet his match and perform a brilliant chase with the black actor Forest Whitaker!"

"The most anticipated action movie of the Lunar New Year, Jackie Chan in Taken 3 vs. Liu Dehua, Xie Tingfeng and Wu Jing in Shaolin Temple, who will win?!" "Racing! Fighting! Can the Hollywood action drama that is popular all over the world break the box office records of the previous two films? Let's wait and see!"

"Hollywood's Infernal Affairs, Jackie Chan and Whitaker stage a classic Hong Kong murder-chasing film!"

When the movie trailer came out, many people seemed to have returned to the time when the Lunar New Year period was strictly controlled in the past two years.

Cheng Long's image of being decisive and killing with one blow in this movie has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Liu Yifei also completely consolidated her global position with this movie, and then with the help of "Inception", she completely stood in the most dazzling position.

The fan base and base of these two people are so huge!
And in the latest third part, the trailer released is full of action and suspense!
Countless people are looking forward to it!

In the trailer, the wife that Cheng Long had tried so hard to protect died.
Cheng Long is deeply involved in the suspicion of murdering his wife. It can be seen that in addition to the wanton action scenes in the first two films, in this film, Cheng Long also needs to be hunted down by the police.

At the same time, he also needs to fight against the mysterious murderer who killed his wife.

It can be said that he is being attacked from both sides!
This is completely different from the previous work. In the first part, Cheng Long took the initiative to attack around the world and reached the location of the criminal group with only sporadic words.

One sentence

"I'm coming to kill you!"

It completely ignited the adrenaline of audiences around the world.

In the second part, the role gave Liu Yifei some growth, and when he and his wife were kidnapped, his ability to locate them by sound made fans dumbfounded.

This time, just based on the trailer, many people have already seen that this movie may be more exciting than the previous one, and Jackie Chan's hatred value will be greater.

After all, his wife is dead.

He was also wrongly accused.

Just thinking about it makes me grit my teeth.

In fact, everyone knows exactly what this movie is about. It's a wild, exciting and refreshing movie!
The situation in the trailer can be said to have made countless people clench their fists.

When the time comes to throw a punch, won’t the world be completely overturned? !

For the audience, these add more suspense to the anticipation of watching the movie.
……

Unlike the industry's high expectations for this movie, Guan Ling herself knows that it's time to shelve the "Taken" series.

This play has been written so far, and there is nothing more to write.

It's not just because Guan Ling can't copy. Luc Besson only wrote three.

It is also because there are more and more classic Hollywood action movies nowadays, and Cheng Long's image in "Taken" has been fixed, so continuing to shoot is just a remake of the first, second and third parts.

The follow-up potential is too low.

On the contrary, it may affect the current reputation of the play.

In fact, in its previous life, the reputation of "Taken 3" was polarized.

Some people think that the various action scenes in the chase in the third part, such as stealth, car speed, gun fights, and hand-to-hand combat, are all in place.

And because of the chase scenes and the murder of his wife, the character played by Cheng Long also suffered a fierce inner struggle.

However, in this low pressure situation where the spring was forcibly suppressed, Cheng Long still retreated to advance and fought back many times.
Experiencing desperate situations several times and rising from the ashes!
In terms of the plot, it can be said that the tension and excitement are used to the extreme!
But Guan Ling also knew that in the third script written by Luc Besson in his previous life, Cheng Long and Whitaker, who were equally matched, abandoned the collision of fists and feet in more scenes, and instead focused on analytical reasoning and strategies of both sides.

And the protagonist becomes the "devil" who is suspected of killing people!
Guan Ling also considered modifying the script, but unfortunately their identities meant that the probability of a direct clash between the two was very low. Once they encountered each other, if it wasn't a group fight, it would make the FBI look very stupid.

Although the logic of this type of movie is not strong, Guan Ling does not think that this modification will be better.

It would be better to just reproduce the original.

After all, the previous version of this movie also won the top box office of over 300 million US dollars worldwide.

……

On December 2010, 12, Guan Ling and Liu Yifei finally set off for home.

As soon as he got on the plane in the United States, the news had spread throughout the entire entertainment industry.

Guan Ling has been in the United States for more than a hundred days to shoot a new movie.

But in the mainland entertainment circle, news about him continues to echo.

As soon as my left foot stepped onto the flight, the news was reported on the Internet and spread quickly.

"Guan Ling and Liu Yifei are returning to China to attend the premiere of Taken. They will arrive in Beijing this evening. After the premiere, Guan Ling and You Benchang will go to the United States to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony!"

Everyone in the film and television industry and the entertainment industry saw this news.

During the time when Guan Ling was away from the mainland, I don't know how many people were waiting for news from him.

When the Golden Globe nominations are announced.

Everyone expected even more from him.

What's his next movie?
Is this the traditional cultural film series that you mentioned to Brother Chen Kai at the Huabiao Awards?

Or is it the official animated film production?
Or is it a pinnacle of commercial films like "Inception" and "2012"?
Most importantly, are there any characters?!
His Weibo post is already filled with messages from actors and filmmakers in the circle!

……

When we landed in Beijing, the media had already surrounded the airport.

A twelve-hour flight is a common occurrence for Guan Ling. After sleeping for a while on the plane, Guan Ling came out feeling refreshed.

But seeing those rows of cameras.

He was suddenly overwhelmed.

The weather was the coldest at that time, but the people who were wrapped in layers of clothes made Guan Ling feel even colder.

"Director Guan, the industry is looking forward to your next film. What are you going to shoot next?"

"Director Guan, what are your expectations for the box office of Taken 3? Can it break the previous two box office records of million?"

"May I ask whether Brother Chen Kai went to the United States to meet Director Guan? Are you and Director Chen planning to collaborate in the future?"

Guan Ling looked at everyone, exchanged glances with Liu Yifei, and then smiled.

“My next movie has not yet been approved, and everything is still focused on Scarlet Witch.

"Taken 3" has broken through the shackles of the first two films, and I think it may achieve another box office success.

As for Director Chen, you can actually go ask him."

"What do you mean?"

Some reporters also asked deeper questions.

"I wrote a script for Director Chen, and he should make an official announcement soon."

After Guan Ling answered, the originally noisy airport suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.

Wrote a script for Director Chen?

The reporters at the scene were all stunned!
Are you a wholesaler?
Why are you writing a script for Brother Chen Kai again?
The Chinese entertainment industry, can't it survive without you? Do you think you are the godfather of scripts?!

Everyone at the scene had a lot of complaints in their hearts, but they didn’t know how to express them at the moment!
