China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 413 A lot of knowledge tonight

[This afternoon, the famous Chinese director Guan Ling won the Best Director award at the American Academy Awards. You Benchang unfortunately lost the Oscar to Colin Firth of "The King's Speech", and unfortunately failed to complete the Cannes, Golden Globe and Oscar Grand Slam! ]

【Colin Firth was crowned Best Actor, and Natalie Portman was crowned Best Actress! 】

[The Social Network lost the Best Picture award to The King's Speech. The King became the big winner of the Oscars. The best picture and best director awards of big-name directors were both lost to younger directors.]

[The 83rd Academy Awards were announced, "The King's Speech" won three awards, and GUAN won two awards, winning a total of five awards! ]

[Nolan walked out of the Oscars ceremony with a dark complexion and did not attend the Oscars final dinner! ]

[Commercial blockbusters fail? Oscars don’t look at box office, they look at essence. The Social Network won big at the Golden Globes, but similar to last year’s Avatar which swept the Golden Globes but failed at the Oscars, The Social Network only won three consolation awards: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Film Editing.

After being nominated for Best Director at the 81st Academy Awards, the genius director David Fincher once again missed the award.

[Industry experts focus on analyzing Guan Ling's winning of the Oscar for Best Director. His sharp editing in "Inception" is his qualification. He was selected because he directed two films! ]

[The Oscars deliberately maintain their own literary and artistic atmosphere and value the quality of movies. Actors account for about one-third of the Oscar judges, so they naturally have a kind of rejection of the use of a large number of special effects and technologies that "potentially threaten the future of actors' acting careers." The final failure of commercial blockbusters or Guan Ling's winning of the final director may be related to this! ]

[When Spielberg, the award presenter, was interviewed about the fact that The King's Speech lost to The Oscar for Best Picture, he consoled David Fincher by saying, "The Deer Hunter was in the Oscars for Best Picture, but don't forget that Raging Bull also lost."]

[After winning the award, Guan Ling was interviewed by Lee Unkrich, the director of Toy Story 3, and claimed that she would start producing Hollywood animated films under the recommendation of Lee Unkrich, with an estimated investment of $1.5 million.]

Japan.

There was a "pop" sound,
Makoto Shinkai pressed the remote control switch, and the TV screen in front of him suddenly went black.

The people in the room were from his directing team.

They are currently in charge of the post-production team for "Children Who Chase the Stars".

According to the schedule, this movie will be released in May this year.

"Guan won the Best Director Oscar," someone else in the room suddenly said, "Did we really blame him wrongly?"

"What do you think?" Makoto Shinkai turned and asked the other person who had not spoken yet.

Everyone was silent.

Makoto Shinkai didn't wait for others to reply, and spoke on his own, "I don't care what you think. In my opinion, Inception is a copy of Paprika. And his brazen slogan of competing with the animated films of my great Japan is nothing but a delusion."

The person who spoke first was an assistant director in his team. Hearing this, he said, "I know you usually value Japan's reputation the most, but Guan Ling won the Best Director award. Since his debut, he seems to have never failed. Do we really have to offend him so much? There is an old saying in China:"

"A man who knows the current affairs is a hero?"

At this moment, an editor suddenly looked up.

The assistant director rolled his eyes at him and said, "The martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, it's about the ways of the world. Guan Ling was able to win the Oscar for Best Director, which is a testament to his strength. If we have to compete with them, at least we can't make 'Children Who Chase Stars'."

Makoto Shinkai also knows the situation of this movie. The rhythm is a bit slow, mainly because there are too many fantasy elements. The quality of this movie is comparable to "5 Centimeters per Second", but the content is not as compact as the former.

Although there is no way to compare the box office of Japanese films and Chinese films in the vertical dimension, it is difficult to form a direct competitive relationship between the two.

But at least we can compare market share.

All in all, Makoto Shinkai was very willing to watch Guan Ling's lofty ambitions, and finally chew them up and swallow them with his own mouth.

Everyone fell into silence.

This is indeed the objective fact of the movie.

But everyone understood that he couldn't stand the look of Guan Ling on the stage.

And everyone can comfort themselves psychologically at the moment, after all, none of his award-winning films are animated films.

The news that he won the Best Director award for "Inception" still made countless Japanese feel sick.

Guan Ling certainly didn't care about this. If he knew, he would definitely be more excited.

He was happy when the little Baka was made sick.

Suddenly, the editor said excitedly, "My friend is editing Goro Miyazaki's film "Poppy Hill", which will probably be released in July. I feel that it should be around the same time as Guan Ling. Why don't we contact them and cooperate for the sake of the great Japanese diguo. We can postpone the release and then help them finish the film, so that we can be ready to fight at any time."

After this suggestion was made, Makoto Shinkai suddenly raised his head.

"Miyazaki Goro-san, I know, he's an architect."

Makoto Shinkai comes from a family of architects, and Goro Miyazaki is also a Japanese landscape architect who has served as the director of the Ghibli Museum in Japan.

He had made an animation before, but it was not well-known.

After that, he was hidden by Hayao Miyazaki for five years.

"How do you think his new movie will perform?" asked Makoto Shinkai.

"Have you forgotten? The screenwriter of this latest movie is Hayao Miyazaki himself."

The assistant director gave a reminder.

"Miyazaki will also provide assistance in the animation directing process. So even though this is directed by his son, it is still influenced by his father."

Shinkai Makoto suddenly remembered.

Indeed, Hayao Miyazaki is not only the screenwriter of this film, but also the producer of this film.

When this news was announced last year, it caused a heated discussion in the Japanese animation industry.

Many people understand that Miyazaki is prepared to stick to behind-the-scenes work and lay the foundation for training young directors for Studio Ghibli.

He did just that last year, releasing the short film "Yeast and the Egg Princess" and two animated films "The Borrower Arrietty" and "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter".

"Poppy Hill" is an animated film that Studio Ghibli has been planning for more than ten years and is based on a comic book from the 1980s.

More than ten years ago, Goro Miyazaki didn't even have any experience as a director.

Hayao Miyazaki is also the producer of this movie.

After all, Hayao Miyazaki will definitely make a great contribution to this movie.

These words ignited hope in everyone.

Makoto Shinkai said, "I will facilitate this cooperation and have his film released at the same time as Guan Ling. By then, no matter the content or the box office, I want to see how many lies he can create! Goro Miyazaki will definitely carve the word failure on his forehead!"

Makoto Shinkai is completely excited at this moment!

He looked again at the number that had just made him extremely dissatisfied.

[Working with a director recommended by Lee Unkrich, investing $1.5 million in a Hollywood animation film...]

Shinkai Makoto sneered, "You really think we are all fools, don't you know that you are taking this opportunity to launder money?! What kind of investment in an animated film can require 1.5 million US dollars? Do you think you are Lee Unkrich? Those investors are crazy, will they invest in you?!"

He was not nervous at all because he was in Makoto Shinkai's heart.

Guan Ling is bound to lose!
I don’t even need to show up. If I just send my son to fight you, you won’t win!

Look at your "Kung Fu Pandas", that is the indelible classic of your Chinese animation!
——is complete garbage.

The entire Chinese film and animation industry is like this at this stage!
……

Korea.

Bong Joon-ho watched Guan Ling win the Best Director Award on the screen and applauded.

Although no one could see it, he was indeed grateful to Guan Ling in his heart.

"The Crucible" helped Tang Wei get out of the quagmire, and also made him an unavoidable topic in the history of Korean films.

Sometimes Bong Joon-ho even thought that if he could make just one movie like The Crucible in his lifetime, that would be enough. How awesome.

He directly changed the course of Korean history! He reformed Korean laws!

This is so exciting!

When a Chinese director won the Oscar for Best Director, he did not show any pettiness.

He felt helpless just looking at the comments online in Korea.

"I propose that when Guan Ling returns to his country to recognize his ancestors, he should be exempted from military service."

"Shit, I agree. Exempt him from military service!"

"Guan Ling, a genius master of Chinese films, won the Best Director award because he had an exchange with director Bong Joon-ho. He wrote The Crucible for Bong Joon-ho, and Bong Joon-ho directed Inception for him."

"Guan is not Korean, You Benchang is. You is a branch of the big Korean surname Park. I have seen him in the newspaper before."

"I suggest that Guan Ling's son be exempted from military service. Is there any Korean actress who can trick Guan Ling into coming to Korea and make him a Korean?"

"If you really don't know what to exempt, then exempt highway tolls or subway tolls..."

Bong Joon-ho didn't know what to say when he saw these delusions.

I checked the box office of "Late Autumn" again.

"Late Autumn" was just released some time ago. As a remake, the movie became popular before it was released.

One week after its release in South Korea, the film attracted over 35 viewers, ranking second on the South Korean box office chart, a remarkable performance.

The film's pre-sale tickets in South Korea were sold out within 5 seconds, setting a new record for the Busan Film Festival. Before the film was released, it ranked first on a well-known Korean website's list of "Most Anticipated Movies in February."

This shows that Tang Wei has already established a firm foothold in South Korea.

Bong Joon-ho is one of the few people who knows that Tang Wei is Guan Ling's man.

"I guess it's time for Tang Wei to return home."

It is said that this movie will be released in mainland China in March, directly competing against Fan Bingbing's "Guan Yin Shan". Both of them are very popular in South Korea.

And Bong Joon-ho happened to be able to guess the relationship between Guan Ling and Fan Bingbing.

After all, the news of the filming of the "Scarlet Witch" movie has already spread all over the world.

"Is this a fight between two women?" Bong Joon-ho smiled lightly.

He turned on his cell phone and sent a congratulatory text message to Guan Ling.

Then his eyes were fixed on the little golden man on the screen.

At this moment, he had countless fantasies in his mind.

But the most essential one is this little golden man, which South Korea will also get.

And this person must be him.

After a while, Bong Joon-ho felt a little sleepy and took a nap for ten minutes.

In his dream, Bong Joon-ho dreamed that he was standing at the Academy Awards ceremony, and the award presenter was Guan Ling.

"The winner is Bong Joon-ho."

He went up on the stage to receive the award, but saw Guan Ling kick him off the podium, and then the award presenter stood on the stage himself holding the little golden man.

He smiled slightly at the hundreds of people below.

"just kidding."

Suddenly, Bong Joon-ho opened his eyes.

"What a strange dream."

……

Thailand.

Apichatpong watched as his rival at Cannes won the Best Director Oscar.

A smile appeared on his face.

In front of him are his family members.

He smiled and said, "What Oscar for Best Director? Wasn't he defeated by me?"

The little grandson raised his head and asked innocently, "Grandpa, I saw a lot of news on the Internet saying that Guan should win the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Why?"

Apichatpong smiled and said, "How is that possible? Awards are always won and lost."

"Then why did he win the Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director awards?" the grandson immediately asked, "but your film, Grandpa, didn't even get a nomination."

Apichatpong couldn't respond to this. No one could see that his fingers were tightly gripping the handles of the chair, and they had turned slightly white.

……

The Oscar Awards ceremony came to a successful conclusion, but it was a pity that You Benchang did not win the Oscar for Best Actor.

Achieve a grand slam.

As for many people, the focus of the outside world is mainly on the "failure" of "The Social Network".

As Spielberg's words of comfort to the film's director David Fincher on the podium implied: "The Social Network" lost the Oscar, but won the world.

It also caused a lot of controversy.

Guan Ling is naturally more controversial.

As a Chinese director who won the Oscar for Best Director for the first time, he still caused a lot of complaints in such an inexplicable way.

Zhang Yibai lamented that the "dead" won over the "living"

Huaxia director Zhang Yibai also expressed his views on Weibo: "The dead are better than the living, the radio is better than the Internet, the nobility is better than the grassroots, and the unexpected is better than the rules."

There seems to be no mention of Oscar in this line of text, but it seems that every sentence is talking about Oscar, especially the last sentence that accident triumphs over rules.

Many people think this is a complaint against Guan Ling.

But Guan Ling really doesn't want to pay attention to these people.

After coming out of the award ceremony, Liu Yifei and Fan Bingbing whispered sweet words into his ears.

Liu Yifei smiled and said that this Oscar Awards ceremony taught her a lot of new knowledge.

And told Guan Ling that she could also teach Guan Ling a lot of new knowledge tonight.

Fan Bingbing is even more shameless.

"If you still want it after you're done with Liu Yifei, pretend to have something to do and come out. I'll help you turn it into the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and then you can go back."

Guan Ling was confused.

He looked at Fan Bingbing and said,

"You are so generous."
