China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 388 The allocation of new projects left the bosses dumbfounded!

The lights turned off and the screen lit up.

Many people at the scene were not paying attention to the movie at all.

In fact, for Han Sanpin and others, the main purpose of coming here was not to watch a movie.

Rather, it is about the allocation of investment shares for Guan Ling's new work.

Guan Ling's announcement about Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige's movies has caused people in the industry to feel uneasy and have their own thoughts.

Guan Ling’s next movie is even more intriguing.

But film critics don't care about the share.

Ma Yufei, who has become an internet celebrity with more than 200,000 followers on Weibo, is focusing all his attention on the movie itself.

"Taken 3" is different from the previous one.
Originally many people thought that this film would continue the performance of the second film, hunting down Albanian fellows and wiping out all the enemy gangs!

But at the very beginning, Ma Yufei discovered that the film had changed its direction.

It's a bit like "The Fugitive", a movie in which the character is framed at the beginning and then becomes a counter-tracking movie.

In the previous film, he had rescued his ex-wife with great difficulty, but in this movie, he presented everyone with a perfect corpse at the beginning.

And cleverly, Cheng Long was accused of being a suspected murderer at the beginning of the movie.

Cheng Long didn't want to believe the police who showed up, so a fight broke out.

With the foreshadowing of the first two parts, Ma Yufei felt that this was not illogical.

First of all, this is the American.

A country where the action of pulling out a bird can lead to pulling out a gun.

Secondly, Cheng Long’s first two films have already been deeply rooted in people’s hearts. He is a top agent and can even be said to be an action superman.

Although the story of Taken 3 is a bit like that of an old-school action movie at the beginning, the method is still the same as the first two films, with simple and clear fighting, violent car chases, direct fighting, and fast and sharp editing.
This did not make Ma Yufei lower his expectations.

After starting with the "Hurricane Series", Ma Yufei discovered one thing: recently, both in Chinese and foreign action films, most of the muscular tough guys have withdrawn from the stage of history, and have been replaced by masters of skills.

Cheng Long used the anti-joint bone technique and throat-locking technique in this play until the third part.

Although the action scenes are not hot, they are quite exciting.

Jackie Chan once again carried the entire movie with his action and physical combat. Although he had the support of an Oscar-winning supporting actor, even the Oscar-winning actor seemed a little weak compared to Jackie Chan's exhilarating action.

After watching two of them, Ma Yufei found it hard to see anything new in these action movies.

The first and second parts are about rescuing the daughter or saving oneself within 24 hours, no more waiting.

There are no twists and turns in psychological warfare, no suspenseful puzzles, and the opponents have not made overly elaborate arrangements. The overall monster-fighting is done from low to high, which is full of oppression and tension!
Cheng Long was fighting monsters with his own strength.

By the third part,

The old-fashioned style of the whole routine made Ma Yufei somewhat dissatisfied at first.

But at the end of the movie,
Suddenly there was a shocking reversal!
The culprit behind all this turned out to be Liu Yifei’s character’s stepfather!

“Is this connected to the first part?”

Ma Yufei was dumbfounded!
This reversal surprised him!
In the first part, Liu Yifei became estranged from Cheng Long because of her stepfather's wealth, and was then kidnapped. That's when her father traveled around the world and fought hard.

But this time, the bridge returns to the bridge and the road returns to the road.

My ex-wife's throat was cut and she died.

Because of the discord between the two sides, the stepfather was completely killed by Cheng Long.

And at the last moment when the Porsche crashed into the plane, before the plane took off, the Porsche stepped on the accelerator so hard that Ma Yufei's hair stood on end!

"Brilliant!"

Just based on Cheng Long's action scenes, this movie has already passed the passing line.

In the final scene of the plane crash, the front of the Porsche was dented and sunken, but even though Cheng Long had a bloody head, he still showed a relieved smile, completely freezing that scene!

It also left countless directors on the scene speechless!

How much does the character played by Cheng Long love his daughter?

This is vividly reflected in this picture!
In order to save his daughter, Cheng Long can do everything!
Isn't your plane about to take off?

Aren't you going to run?

Cheng Long used the simplest method to completely pull the opponent back before he took off and was about to escape into the sky!

Following the first part "I will find you" and the second part "Grenade location", in the third part, Guan Ling's script still created a famous scene.

The car hit the plane and it crashed!
“Aren’t you an action movie?

How could you crash a car into a plane?!"

Ma Yufei was stunned!

The fans at the scene also exclaimed instantly!
Although scenes such as car racing and skydiving are extremely common in American movies, many people are still scared by the moment of the plane crash.

But the next second, the sense of satisfaction created by Guan Ling was not over yet.

My stepfather is not dead yet.

Cheng Long limped out of the car and pulled the other person out of the plane like a dog.

At this moment in the movie, the halo and the distant sunset move away, leaving behind Cheng Long's hunched figure.

"Brother Cheng Long is getting old!"

"Although he's not even sixty yet, and the moves he made just now were deadly, this shot is probably just to serve the car crash clip just now, but this scene is still quite sad."

Many fans were whispering.

In the movie, Jackie Chan did not speak.

It's just a flashback of the scene in the first film where the daughter praises herself for how good her stepfather is.

In the second part, the wife claims that she has a new marriage.

Flashing back to the scene where the ex-wife's throat was cut,

The last scene was fixed on Liu Yifei's face. She had tears in her eyes and did not utter a word.

Cheng Long glanced at Liu Yifei and poured gasoline on the face of the still dizzy Stuart.

Then, the iron leaf that had been broken into pieces during the quarrel.

From head to toe,
From the eyes, to the ears, to the nose, to the genitals, and then to the disembowelment,
Cut them one by one.

There was not a word the whole time.

But the entire movie screening scene was filled with awe!
This scene, no deletion?!
Many people were surprised.

Cheng Long picked up a cigarette, lit it, turned on the windproof lighter, and threw it back.

In the picture, father and daughter are moving forward together.

The scene is warm, even though it is bloody.

And behind them, there was a raging flame!

……

"Is this, giving the other party a direct order?!"

Brother Chen Kai turned around and looked at Chen Hong beside him, and his throat moved involuntarily.

This scene is brutal, but shocking!
But besides being shocking, it also seems reasonable.

What can an agent who is extremely angry do?
It is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

When his daughter was kidnapped before, he killed the enemy alone and went to the meeting alone.

The cruelty of electric shock therapy is shocking!

Then he was kidnapped himself, and he was not as enthusiastic as in the first part.

In the prison van, Cheng Long once again demonstrated the qualities and level of a senior agent. He successfully calculated his approximate position in his brain which was like a quad-core processor by relying on a few seconds, whistles, erhu, bird calls, steering, gear positions and other conditions.

After escaping, the wild drama between the two fathers ends with Cheng Long letting a train hit the other party's pursuit, and then killing his way into the other party's lair!

Still killed a large number of the other side!
Even in the second part, many viewers believed that Jackie Chan and his white wife might get back together.

As a result, the third part was aborted not long after it started.

The daughter once again becomes a bargaining chip for her stepfather to threaten her!
In this situation,
Would it be satisfying for him to just kill the culprit?
Obviously not!
Chen Kai has never been able to grasp the story well, but he still watched the first two movies. To be exact, he will watch all of Guan Ling's movies.

Therefore, he was naturally clear about the previous situation.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized!

“This is a commercial film!”

This picture of Cheng Long is reasonable!
In fact, this scene is the real climax of the movie!
As a finale, it’s just simple action and racing, which is hard to be memorable.

But as the sun set, thick smoke rose from the plane.

In order to save his daughter, he crashed his car into the plane.
Then he dragged the other person out of the cabin like a dead dog, and picked up an iron leaf to torture him to death just as he had induced someone to slit his ex-wife's throat.

And then it came alive.

The slow slicing and burning would at least make people feel extremely pleasurable!

Only in this way can you get rid of the hatred in your heart!

In the audience, Zhang Yimou had a stern look. This movie was not shot by Guan Ling, but he knew very well that with such quality and such a great success, the box office would be a piece of cake.

He values ​​logic, but he also has his own criteria in mind.

It's no accident that this movie became a hit.

Jiang Wen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"I feel like if I were to film this, the height would be cut out."

"Such scenes will probably be deleted from Hollywood blockbusters," Ning Hao said sternly. "The reason why this one wasn't deleted is probably because it's a film directed by Guan, and China Film has a share. This year's Inception brought honor to Chinese directors and Chinese films, so it can be considered a preferential treatment."

It's all blind guesses anyway, Ning Hao was just talking casually.

Jiang Wen paused and said nothing.

The Golden Lion Award-winning "Let the Bullets Fly" has so many metaphors, but it doesn't have a snap.

Guan Ling's one-minute violent scene doesn't seem like a big deal.

The big scissors also have will.

It's just violence, not something that needs to be snapped.

And all in all, it only takes a minute.

The review department above just turned a blind eye and let it go.

……

After the premiere, the critics and media left for the time being, but at this moment the internet was already filled with praises!
"The best 'good dad' in history retires! Cheng Long presents the most explosive clip for 'Taken'!"

"A car hit a plane. After chasing a plane on foot in "2012", Cheng Long is having another fight with a plane. This time, it's a real fight!"

"It is reported that the plane in Taken 3 did not receive any international airline advertising support like Taken 2012 did, all because the plane was hit and caught fire."

"It was a heavy punch. The audience exclaimed that it was very enjoyable after watching it. They said that the whole film was perfect and it was like riding a roller coaster."

"Taken 3, the love between father and daughter and the hatred of killing his wife are intertwined, and the desperate situation and the ultimate killing coexist! They are all vividly displayed in this movie. It is an excellent action movie. A lone hero who bears injustice and hatred finally staged his ultimate counterattack!"

Guan Ling didn't pay much attention to the online comments.

Even if there are roof-shattering shouts or praises outside, it is unlikely to exceed that of "Inception".

In the reception room of the premiere hotel.

Bigwigs from all sides gathered here.

"What do you think the box office of Taken 3 will be?" Ren Zhonglun asked Han Sanpin with his head tilted.

"Starting from 500 million?" Han Sanpin said, "After all, it's the final film, and it's also the Lunar New Year film. Guan Ling's films are still trustworthy."

"It was such a profitable movie, but he just cancelled it."

Ren Zhonglun was shocked. "When I heard him say that just now, my heart skipped a beat."

"What are you talking about? Shanghai Film Group didn't participate in the Taken series."

Han Sanpin was so calm and composed that Ren Zhonglun was almost choked to death by his words.

Ren Zhonglun was so angry that his fists clenched.

He moved aside, too lazy to pay attention.

"Mr. Yu, are you here for cooperation this time?"

Lu Peng of Shanying took the initiative to talk to Yu Minhong. In terms of status, they are much higher than Yu Minhong, but in terms of net worth, they are really not as good as him.

At this time, New Oriental’s market value exceeded US$60 billion, and its net income for this fiscal year alone reached US$ million.

It is equivalent to RMB 600 million.

Except for Ling Yun, China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group, everyone else present could only envy.

Shanying made a lot of money this year thanks to "Awakening Age", but compared with 600 million, the gap is still quite big.

"Director Guan invited me here and said there was a movie."

Yu Minhong whispered, but the news made Lu Peng stunned.

After a while, Guan Ling finally arrived.

"Sorry for the long wait, I just rechecked the budget of the movie."

Everyone came here just for this, and when they heard Guan Ling speak, they all fell silent for a moment.

then,

In the eyes of everyone.

Guan Ling took out the budget sheet for "Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds".

He also took out the budget sheet for "Record of Swordsmanship in the Jianghu".

Budget list for the two films "Ip Man 3/4".

Budget sheets for "Even If the Wind Rises" and "Your Name".

There is also a never-before-seen project, the budget sheet for Gone Girl.

After the seven budget sheets were brought out, everyone at the scene almost stopped breathing.

Han Sanpin's eyelids twitched. He didn't remember Guan Ling saying so much, especially the last one, "The Vanishing Lover". He had never even seen it in terms of script review.

Ren Zhonglun's eyes widened. He knew that with so many movies, he should have a chance.

Lu Peng wanted to kneel down.

With so many movies, the big director of Shandong Province is going to promote his relatives again.

"Director Guan, are you doing wholesale?"

Mr. Yang of the Emperor of Music was joking, but only he knew how excited he was at the moment.

Guan Ling said, "This is not over yet. We will probably have to talk about the details tomorrow. Mr. Yang, these budget sheets are not all. I have already thought about the movie for you in Hong Kong."

Mr. Yang suddenly sat up straight.

He originally thought that the revival of Hong Kong films would take a long time and Guan Ling would have no time to care about them.

He was quite excited when he suddenly learned this unexpected news.

Guan Ling pointed at Yu Minhong again.
"There is another movie by Mr. Yu. I will discuss it with him in detail later. Once Mr. Yu agrees, I will also announce it to you.

As for the budget list, you can take a look at it first. No matter which movie it is, Lingyun’s investment share is more than 40%.

As for the rest, everyone has a share.”

Guan Ling looked at everyone in the room.

"For these nine movies, everyone can discuss among themselves whether to join forces or to bid the highest price."

Then Guan Ling really pulled Yu Minhong out.

There were only a bunch of big guys left in the room.
These film and television company bosses, who could make the entire circle tremble with just a stomp of their feet, looked at each other with surprise in their eyes!
The sensation of the nine movies is secondary.

The key point is that Guan Ling threw down the budget sheet and let everyone discuss it on their own. This was unprecedented and unheard of.

It's really jaw-dropping!
