China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 416: Returning to Beijing after filming, blowing up the acting circle and causing countless jealousy
On March 2011, 3, after filming the scene where Scarlet Witch unexpectedly awakens and creates virtual Vision, "Scarlet Witch" was officially wrapped up.

Everything was carried out according to the established shooting schedule, and the schedule was quite orderly.

However, since there are still many special effects to be produced later, it will take some time for this movie to be released.

Before leaving, although Guan Ling said that he would go to the United States at any time to check the editing situation, most of the rights were still given to Guy Naot.

"Lionsgate Films and I both feel sorry for your return this time."

Frank called before Guan Ling boarded the plane. "My Oscar-winning director, you are the most suitable Chinese director for Hollywood that I have ever seen. If the Chinese film market is a lake, then Hollywood is an ocean. Here, there is a vast world and you can do a lot. Guan, are you really not going to stay?"

Frank knew that Guan Ling wanted the piece of land in China.

But he felt regretful from the bottom of his heart.

There is no such director, at least not in Lionsgate.

He also knew that if he really wanted to be on par with the Big Six, he needed Guan.

People's ambitions can be ignited.

After working with Guan Ling last year, everything was developing in a positive direction. Seeing that all the box office revenue and awards were won by Guan Ling as expected, Frank was indeed reluctant to let Guan Ling go.

"I want to stay, but I can't get used to the food and women here."

Guan Ling's answer left Frank speechless.

Although Guan Ling is now fully capable of hiring someone to take care of all his meals and daily life, even a woman like Scarlett can have an overnight romance in this circle at any time.

But this cultural gap is really difficult to erase.

The two chatted for a while, and Frank could only make an appointment to meet next time.

The two also talked about Jackie Chan's next movie. As part of the collaboration, Lionsgate Films will also invest in this movie.

"Guan, I have no problem with Cheng Long's words. But the other protagonist you chose, Ya Wen Zhu, are you sure he can carry this movie?"

Frank expressed doubt.

This person's name has never appeared in Hollywood performance credits before, and if a clip from "Inception" is counted, it would be the same as if this person does not exist.

Only "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" had a box office of less than $100 million in North America.

He played a white-haired guy.

Other than that, there was no show.

After Frank knew all this, he obviously realized that this was Guan Ling's private goods.

But from the perspective of a collaborator, he still reminded Guan Ling.

"To be honest, I know very well that perhaps not many viewers will go to watch this movie just for him," Guan Ling said, "but I will continue to use him. This is the bottom line of this movie."

Frank was silent for a moment.

For him, all this is not a bad idea. Using Zhu Yawen would reduce the corresponding costs, and the box office results are the terms of the cooperation betting agreement between Guan Ling and others.

If he isn't worried, Frank doesn't have to worry about anything.

His phone hung up randomly.

"I respect your opinion. Then I will make the official announcement directly according to your opinion."

……

In China, "Painted Skin 2" is ready for release. Under the full command of Chen Guofu and the assistance of Han Sanpin, a lot of resources have been utilized for the promotion.

This Lunar New Year and Spring Festival period is a time when many movies are released in turn, but there are no absolute blockbusters.

The box office revenue of most movies is around 200 million.

Therefore, theaters have high hopes for Guan Ling's films.

There is also a lot of support available.

But this March, many movies to be released still make theaters full of expectations.

And then there are two more blockbusters, "Painted Skin 2" and "Legend of the Dragon". Speaking of this movie, Guan Ling knows it because it was the movie in which Mr. Xu from Hengdian asked him how to make the dragon special effects last year.

The publicity was ambitious, claiming that it was the first blockbuster co-production between China and Australia, using world elements to interpret the Chinese totem!
He also said that he would devote himself to creating a fantasy blockbuster comparable to the magical suspense of the "Detective Dee Series"!

After all, the movie hasn't premiered yet, but it does give people a lot of expectations.

It’s just that the male lead is Chen Xiaochun, which makes many viewers feel that they need to wait and see before watching the film.

"Guan Yin Shan" was released three days ago. The box office of 450 million on the first day was a bit average, but it was an art film after all, so people didn't criticize it too much.

But the box office results released today in the three days since then have seen a significant leap.

2600 million in the first three days, which shows that the movie is still gaining momentum.

The scene in the play where Fan Bingbing plays an angel makes people feel very good and is full of warmth and connotation.

"Fan Xiaopang's acting in this movie really changed my mind. The temple collapsed, the Buddha statue was destroyed, and Jackson was dead. But only Guanyin Mountain still has hope. The handheld photography throughout the movie makes people feel hopeless and uneasy. I rarely see this kind of rhythm anymore."

"The movies during the Spring Festival are full of fighting and killing, but the current "Guanyin Mountain" makes people feel countless complex emotions. Life is impermanent. Guanyin Bodhisattva can't save earthquakes and natural disasters, and can't bless everyone's sadness and confusion."

"A collapse of faith, a lifetime of rebuilding of faith. Director Li Yu is truly remarkable. If Guan Ling is the sun on the screen, she at least shines a glimmer of her own in it."

"I have watched the scene where Fan Bingbing kisses a woman with his tongue countless times. I don't know who he practiced with to get such plump lips and such skillful techniques!"

On the plane back to China, Guan Ling and Fan Bingbing both saw the news.

Fan Bingbing looked at Guan Ling with interest.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't train you."

Liu Yifei went to the toilet, and Guan Ling spoke very arrogantly.

"That's natural. After all, I'm just a golden hoop trap. When you want to use it, it will fly away."

Fan Bingbing smiled playfully and said, "It practiced it."

Guan Ling couldn't respond to this, and Liu Yifei would be back soon. Guan Ling really didn't want to see the Shura scene, so he just closed his eyes and looked at his nose.

……

And at this moment while flying on the plane.

The Chinese portal website suddenly posted a piece of news with a picture, which came from the official announcement of Lionsgate Films and Lingyun Media in North America. Although it was only a small page.

But it caused huge waves to surge across the entire China in an instant!
The news has translated the news on the page into Chinese, but even without translation, everyone can probably understand it.

"The film "Uncharted" written by Guan Ling, co-invested by Skyworth and Lionsgate Films, has officially announced that Jackie Chan and Zhu Yawen will play the role in the treasure hunt!"

For a moment, regardless of the sentiment on the internet, the entire Beijing Film Academy undergraduate acting graduate community was blown away!

"Fuck, is Zhu Yawen heading straight to the other side of the ocean?"

"I was wondering why Cheng Long didn't shoot a new series after Taken 3, and Guan Ling even interrupted this movie. Is this a direct change of direction for Cheng Long? Treasure hunt? Isn't this the same genre as the so-called "Legend of the Dragon"?"

"I have a question. How do you know they went to Hollywood? Aren't they invested by Hollywood film companies? As everyone knows, they have cooperated with Guan Ling. But two Chinese people can really go to Hollywood to make a movie. Who will watch it? Maybe this movie was made specifically for us in China."

"The IQ of the person above is limited, please don't reply."

"Your family is making a movie for the Chinese people, and there is an official English announcement?!"

The plane is still in the sky.

Many Chinese actors and actresses have seen this news, and it is still going viral.

"I really hugged a big thick leg."

"Although I have always had some filters for Zhu Yawen, thinking that I can act the same as he can, but now it seems that at least he has something that I really don't have."

"Director Guan, are you not afraid of getting yourself killed by using Chinese actors to make a so-called Hollywood blockbuster?"

……

"Guanzi dragged Yawen to Hollywood to play the leading role, but I'm still spinning around in circles."

Luo Jin saw the news online and felt mixed emotions.

He met Guan Ling once in Cannes last year.

This was the only time he and Guan Ling had met offline in all these years, apart from the dinner after graduation.

Compared to the relationship between Yawen and Guan Ling, his relationship is obviously not that good.

When it came to "The Uninvited Visitor", Guan Ling also gave him a role, so the two of them owed each other nothing.

All that is left is the friendship between classmates.

Being classmates already means a very deep friendship, but Luo Jin has never used this identity to ask for a role for Guan Ling, mainly because he couldn't bring himself to do so.

But at this moment, when he saw the news that Zhu Yawen was going to Hollywood, he was still filled with confusion.

Unconsciously, the gap between him and Zhu Yawen became like a chasm, or even a natural barrier.

Luo Jin didn't know, but he unconsciously wanted to press his temples.

Because he knew very well that the confusion in his mind reflected his mood. If he didn't calm down now, when he opened his eyes later, he would most likely have red eyes!
……

"In life, you always need a few noble people."

At the filming site of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", Chen Kun came across the news, causing an uproar on the internet.

He could actually guess what kind of mental shock this news would bring to the actors in the circle.

"My boss is my benefactor." Zhou Xun added with a sweet smile.

"It's just a pity that I haven't been able to work with Director Guan on much content so far." Chen Kun regretted, "Speaking of which, I met Director Guan at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony before. At that time, I should have directly lit up an incense burner with Director Guan and sworn brotherhood on the spot."

Jet Li couldn't stop laughing when he heard what Chen Kun said.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll have to try your luck in Hollywood."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Suddenly I remembered that Jet Li had worked in Hollywood before.

Everyone asked Jet Li to talk about his past in Hollywood.

Jet Li did not refuse and talked about a few clips.

Finally, as if the memory had blinded him, he said, "If there was a Director Guan back then, I might not have done this."

"Isn't Director Wu Baige there?"

"A director, a film company owner, and the owner of a company that has reached an equity swap agreement with Lionsgate, are there too many comparisons between the two?"

Jet Li sighed, "Director Guan is the only ship in China that can carry people and sail far. Unless big capital comes in, other investors will just be paying for their money."

……

"Yawen, you are very secretive."

Wang Jinghua learned the news from the Internet and called Zhu Yawen in a very good mood.

I had been having menstrual blockage and it was a bit painful for the past two days, but when I saw the news, it immediately became unblocked and I felt so happy.

"Sister Hua, I really don't know. If the news hadn't been revealed online, I wouldn't have known about it. I only knew that I would be given a role and that I had to take the script to learn English, but I really didn't know the specific schedule."

Zhu Yawen was delighted, but also a little confused.

"I believe you on this." Wang Jinghua nodded, "But is Director Guan coming back soon? Now that he has won the Oscar for Best Director and can help you announce your role while filming the movie, is he going to prepare to return to China soon?"

Zhu Yawen hesitated.

"really."

Wang Jinghua said, "Tell me the time, pack up, and come with me to pick someone up."

She smiled and said, "Your emotional problems before were like a bomb. If you want it to explode, I will explode it for you immediately, eliminating all difficulties."

"But now, you have to tell me the time. We have to stand together at the site where Director Guan Ling leaves the airport."

She sat on the mahogany chair at home, tapping her fingertips on the table.

“No matter how big the thunder is, no matter how many people are jealous, it doesn’t matter.

As long as you are by his side the moment he leaves the airport, you will be able to shock countless red-eyed people!"

Zhu Yawen paused when he heard this. He could guess that there were countless jealous people in the circle, but at this moment, Wang Jinghua's experience really made him sigh!
Ginger is still spicy!
