China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 42: I am in the United States and have no intention of showing off.

"Director Guan, congratulations, now you are worthy of your title as the director of the Billion Dollar Club."

On April [-], Mr. Han called. After [-] days of release, "Suspect" finally exceeded [-] million.

After the craziness of the first two weeks, the box office growth dropped significantly in the third week, but due to the good reputation, there was still a steady stream of fans going to the theater to watch the movie.

"Breaking [-] million?" Guan Ling didn't even know, and he didn't pay much attention.

Isn’t it normal to exceed [-] million?Is this worthy of attention?
"Director Guan really doesn't care much about his own movies."

On the other end of the phone, Master Han couldn't laugh or cry.

"The domestic media are going crazy. They go to Nortel to block you every day, but nothing happens. You are lucky, you really don't care about anything.

The leaders of your school have been in the news recently for treating you as an admissions flyer. "

"No, there are so many great directors in front of me, how can I have any influence? These media are really free."

"Don't tell me how young you are or how old they are?" Mr. Han expressed his disagreement.

These half months are the days that belong to "Suspect", and they are also the days that belong to Guan Ling.

There are portals everywhere in the media, and articles are published, as if they are on Guan Ling's bedside table, and the writing is so detailed.

Guangxian also joined in the fun and wrote an anecdote between one of their hosts, Liu Yan, and Guan Ling.

Inevitably, Wuji was drawn out for criticism again.

This made Poet Chen feel a little numb...

Mr. Han didn't know whether Guan Ling was pretending to be a respecter or not. Anyway, he was very excited about this [-] million yuan. If he went to pee now, he wouldn't even pee.

It's been a high-spirited thing lately.

Wuji and so on are all in the past tense!
"Currently, the mainland box office is estimated at 600 million, Hong Kong has exceeded 1500 million Hong Kong dollars, and Taiwan has exceeded 1700 million. If this continues, the box office may eventually reach 7000 million."

Mr. Han is very happy. According to his investment share, after excluding the last copyright income, China Film can still get close to 3000 million in income. Of course, this is the total investment plus distribution rights, and Guan Ling also It was able to get more than 500 million, but Guan Ling also received [-] million for the copyright. Overall, Guan Ling invested [-] million in this movie, which is about [-] times more!
Even Huayi doubled its investment of 300 million yuan and made almost [-] million yuan.

Why is Mr. Han not excited?

"By the way, I'm going to extend the secret key for "Suspect" to see if it can break [-] million."

"That's good. The higher the box office is, the more money we will make." Guan Ling is self-righteous and will not take advantage of it.

"You kid, you think about money, money, money every day. Money is a good thing, but it can't buy honor."

Mr. Han was relieved.

"There is a meeting at Radio and Television. You will be the key figure at the Centenary Ceremony of Chinese Film at the end of this year."

"Starting from the Qing Dynasty's "Dingjun Mountain" in 1905, the century-old history of Chinese films has been full of ups and downs, but this is how the film market is.

But just at the end of this, "The Uninvited Guest" became a milestone for domestic low-budget films.

"Suspect", a low-cost domestic suspense film, has become a masterpiece of domestic films in the first year of the new century.
I even thought about whether you are a gift from God to the history of Chinese film! "

"Hey, you're flattering me." Guan Ling was really a little embarrassed, I'm just a reborn person.Not worth mentioning.

"All in all, the higher the box office of "Suspect" is, the brighter our faces will be, don't you think?"

The two chatted for a while, and Mr. Han asked about the current situation of "Hearing Girl". In fact, it was just a casual question. Zhang Song would definitely report to Mr. Han every day, and Guan Ling didn't bother to say more.

When it was time to leave, Mr. Han said that Huayi Wang Zhongjun had approached him as a lobbyist and hoped that he could put aside the past grudges and expressed his apology.

Regardless of whether people curse people behind their backs or smash things, he is really flexible on the outside. "The Suspect" made a lot of money, and he still wants to get involved in Guan Ling's future movies.

Guan Ling simply refused. Some people were just shameless. Guan Ling couldn't tolerate their bad habits.

After hanging up the phone, Guan Ling continued to devote himself to the filming of "Hearing Girl".Liu Yifei also saw the news and came over to celebrate with Guan Ling.

Liu's mother also came over and smiled beautifully at Guan Ling, just like a flower. That's probably how the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law.

"Director Guanda, the gap between us is getting wider and wider now." Liu Yifei pouted, expressing her admiration.

"Isn't it just [-] million? I will also sell our new movie for [-] million. Do you believe it or not?" Guan Ling said firmly.

"Of course, that's the heroine I worked so hard to perform!" Liu Yifei decisively put gold on her face.

For the hearing girl's drama, Liu Yifei realized how difficult it was only when she acted it, the dilemma of the family, and the overall reconciliation. It was only when she acted out the seemingly simple script that she realized the complexity, so Liu Yifei was very confident in the quality of the movie.

"Okay, how is your vocal practice going? Many of the next scenes will depend on your voice." Guan Ling asked Liu Yifei. Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei was very confident.

As expected of a singing and dancing singer who has practiced for more than half a year, Liu Yifei is very confident when singing. Her voice is crisp and graceful, ethereal and penetrating.

"When you sing, you not only need to have skills, but you also need to be full of emotion." Guan Ling gave guidance here, "Your emotions are actually in the song, and it needs to be rich and progressive."

"Then I'll try again."

The most difficult part in school and at home is singing, but Liu Yifei did a good job, and her practice was indeed not in vain.

A few days later, Guan Ling started filming the fishing scenes.

In this movie, fishing is the most important link from beginning to end, so before filming, Guan Ling asked his family to go to the fishing boat to thoroughly practice their fishing skills.

The month before, Liu Yifei learned sign language.The three hearing-impaired actors learned to fish.

As background, this has to be done.

Only those who know how to fish can perform the realistic feeling of family fishing on the boat.This way the whole movie is down to earth.

"Come on, let's start!"

"Photography, where is the photography?"

"I need you to take the whole shot, from far to near, from the foothills of the distant sea to the nearby ship. I need you to make the whole shot look like a dream, is that clear? I want beauty."

"Liu Yifei, you want to sing and fish on the ship. As the only normal person, you can sing loudly. Do you understand?"

Guan Ling directed the filming, and the fishing plot serves as the connection in the movie, which represents the upper limit of the movie.

Many times, whether a movie can be watched successfully is not determined by whether the plot is enjoyable or not, but whether the details are in place.

The plot is good and the details are good, so it is naturally a good movie.But if the details are not done well, it will only lead to a decline in the movie's reputation, which is inevitable.

By the end of April, the fishing scene is probably over.

As a result, I received a call from Yuda.

"Hey, Director Guan, I'm Yu Tian from Bu Ya. "Congratulations" Director Guan's movie box office has exceeded 6000 million, but we are professional in books! Two million copies are really sold out! You see , shall we continue to print more?”

"It can be printed. Please contact our company directly for the specific details. I will authorize the company for any return authorization. I am very busy, so I will hang up now."

Guan Ling, who was filming the most critical scene, didn't chat much with Yuda.

While in the capital, Youtian felt for the first time the huge gap between the film and television industry and the literary industry.

Two million copies means a royalties of more than 200 million, but the other party didn't even ask about this amount of money.

This pretense was a bit stiff, which made Yuda unable to relax for a long time.

　Fuck, when I was about to publish the manuscript, some words were replaced, lost, and rewritten.
