Chapter 461: Cannes gunpowder, hot girl finished shooting! Two people go together to serve Guan Ling!
[The chapter title is wrong, but the content is correct!! Sorry, godfathers! ]

As soon as the news that the film could not be released came out, mainland audiences wailed.

Guan Ling now has a large number of fans in China. Seeing that the popularity of "Confessions" is growing, they have already prepared money and are ready to spend it at any time. However, the optical and electrical systems do not allow it, so they can only look for resources on the Internet.

But for a while, there was indeed no news of pirated resources on the Internet.

But the heat of Cannes remains unabated.

As the only film shortlisted for the main competition unit, although "Confessions" is determined not to be released in mainland China, it still touches the hearts of countless industry insiders in the mainland.

The Taiwanese audiences have also been looking forward to it.

The list of this year's Cannes Film Festival is filled with a lot of gunpowder, and most of them are familiar faces and old friends.

So it doesn't seem young enough, but because of this, the quality of the films in this year's Cannes competition unit is excellent.

Spain's national treasure director Almodovar brings a horror film called "The Skin I Live In," which is said to "break moral taboos."

The Dardenne brothers, who have won the Palme d'Or in Belgium, have brought their new film "The Boy with a Bicycle", focusing on men at the bottom of society.

Italian director Moretti is even more awesome. This time his film directly focuses on the Pope. Before the film was released, it aroused strong resistance from experts and believers in the Vatican.

There are also two Japanese films shortlisted this year, "One Life" and "Red Flower and Moon", whose directors Takashi Miike and Naomi Kawase are also familiar visitors to Cannes.

Although no one from the mainland was shortlisted, Hou Hsiao-hsien managed to save a bit of face for Chinese-language films.

Especially since the screenwriter of this play is Guan Ling, the audience has a natural sense of closeness to it.

However, since the premiere of this movie, it has caused quite a stir abroad.

However, it has not yet been released in Taiwan and has been banned in the country.

It directly provides the audience with a cloud viewing experience in their minds.

There are all kinds of news, but we just don’t know the full picture.

I know it feels good, but you won’t be able to experience how good it is unless you watch it.

On May 5, Chen Kexin's "Wuxia" premiered in the midnight screening unit, and the domestic media finally got excited.

"At the premiere of "Wu Xia", Fan Bingbing's low-cut dress stole the spotlight, and Tang Wei and Li Xiaoran paired black and white!"

"Famous American movie star, Sarah Jessica Parker, the heroine of Sex and the City, showed up at midnight to support Kung Fu!"

"Hou Hsiao-hsien showed up at the premiere of 'Wu Xia', showing his family-like demeanor overseas."

As for "Wu Xia", which was promoted more intensively in Cannes, the participation of Hou Hsiao-hsien and Fan Bingbing seemed to send a signal to the industry that there was no deep hatred between Guan Ling and Zhen Zidan.

But after the movie premiered, the reviews were even more polarized.

The first half of the film is about the peaceful family life of Zhen Zidan and Tang Wei. The detective played by Takeshi Kaneshiro becomes suspicious of Zhen Zidan's identity when a village thief is accidentally executed, thus intervening in his past and future.

Many people believe that this film is indeed of high quality in terms of fight design, photography, and music, and is a successful work that combines Hollywood style with kung fu films.

But the pace of the first half of the film is too slow, and the director repeatedly introduces medical concepts in emphasis, making the play seem almost worthless.

Tang Wei was reduced to a supporting role and was cut into pieces in the final version.

"A new Chinese martial arts film, a microcosm of Chen Kexin's martial arts ideal, idealized by the director!"

"Mr. Chen Kexin uses a theme-first adventure to echo Mr. Hou Hsiao-hsien's slowly expounded "Confessions."

"This is not the martial arts of imagination. It is martial, but not chivalrous. There is no flying over eaves and walls, jumping around. This is other people's martial arts, not Chen Kexin's martial arts."

Chen Kexin was all smiles during the interview. "I am not going to shoot the martial arts that others imagine. I want to use science, medicine, and physics to explain Chinese martial arts films, and then fill in the stories. And I am also going to shoot Chinese culture. The details of Chinese culture involved in "Martial Arts" include papermaking, folk songs, acupuncture... Although it seems a bit cumbersome, that's what I want to do."

These news have attracted a lot of attention in the country, but have not caused a huge sensation.

Because compared to the news craze after the premiere of "Confessions".

The reviews for this drama are still out of date.

However, in addition to this, the Cannes program and local news all focused on the upcoming awards ceremony.

People are still waiting to see whether Guan Ling still has a chance to win an award at Cannes this year.

If Guan Ling wins an award, there will only be one Best Screenwriter Award.

Apart from this, there is no possibility.

But the key point is that Guan Ling was not present.

And judging from the rumors in Cannes, this year's Palme d'Or may have nothing to do with Asia.

After being won by East Asia and Southeast Asia for two consecutive years, Cannes has to take other places into consideration.

From this perspective, if "Confessions" were to share the spoils, Guan Ling might get one.

……

In the past few weeks, mainland theaters have been dominated by a fierce battle for domestic blockbusters.

It’s just that “Never Gone” won the championship in a crushing manner.

And with the release of a series of domestic and foreign blockbusters, the entire film market is still surging.

After the golden period in May, imported films took turns to be released, and the competition among imported films began.

However, "Never Gone" still holds its position firmly and has not been immediately defeated.

Time flies, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" was finally taken off the screen, with the box office revenue fixed at 1.04 million yuan.

No one cares how many of them are for the purpose of booking the entire theater for over 100 million yuan.

The film received poor reviews in its later stages, but in the week before it was taken off the screen, the box office suddenly increased, earning more than 16 million, which is just about to bring the film over the 100 million yuan mark.

May 5th, one week after the release.

"Fast and Furious 5" had a strong explosion in the final stage, with the box office reaching over 1.2 million.

The results were disastrous.

At least compared to previous publicity, the box office does not seem to have met the expectations of the producers.

But considering the success of "Never Gone", "Thor" and "The Good Wife", this box office is considered normal.

In North America, "Fast & Furious 5" and "Thor" are in full swing.

The same is true in mainland China, but there is also the combined pressure of "Never Gone" and "Beloved". "Beloved", as an art film and the last part of Gu Changwei's trilogy, has made a strong comeback with its reputation.

In the head-to-head competition with another movie "No Longer Alone", "Beloved" won completely and even beat Shu Qi to a tragic end. The box office of 660 million in a single week basically announced that "No Longer Alone" was completely eliminated. The number of screenings was only one-fourth of "Beloved". Most people in the industry believed that the final box office of "No Longer Alone" might stop at the million mark.

If "The Best Friend" is lucky enough, it will probably earn more than 70 million yuan at the box office. But these people are still counting on their fingers to make tens of millions.

The total box office of "Never Gone" has exceeded 9.3 million yuan, and it is not far from billion yuan.

The industry generally predicts that it will not be difficult for "Never Say Die" to earn tens of millions in a single day box office in the last week.

A billion-dollar box office may only take place overnight.

Even with the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean" tomorrow, the industry has enough confidence in this movie.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is recognized by the industry as the top imported movie in May. Even "Kung Fu Panda 5", which will be released on May 28 and was co-written and invested in with a small amount by Skyworth, cannot compare to it.

As the most anticipated blockbuster among movie fans, this film will premiere simultaneously around the world on May 5, and will soon be screened in multiple formats including 20D, 2D and IMAX, doubling its money-making ability.

As the blockbuster that Disney has put the most effort into this year, the previous three "Pirates of the Caribbean" films have brought Disney a global revenue of over 25 billion US dollars, which is a remarkable achievement.

Therefore, Disney's direct investment cost for this film was as high as $400 million.

The publicity in the country was also overwhelming and swept the entire industry early on.

There is still one day left before this movie is released, and other movies have almost been cast into shadows. Even the recently-awesome "Never Say Die" has become just a glimmer of light in this long night.

"No one can hide. Pirates of the Caribbean 4 will be released in mainland China in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D formats!"

"Pirates of the Caribbean may set off an IMAX craze this year. Previously, Fast & Furious 5 was introduced to the mainland in only the ordinary 2D version, which reduced the 'speed, passion' effect on the screen by half. Fortunately, the same regret did not continue to Pirates of the Caribbean 4! And the IMAX format will also continue to be used in subsequent films such as Kung Fu Panda 2, The Founding of a Party, and Transformers 3..."

Many cinema chains are worried because there are simply not enough IMAX theaters.

But the same sorrow did not appear on the face of the manager of Dadi Cinemas.

"Director Guan, what do you think of Pirates of the Caribbean 4?"

Manager Yan called the boss because he really wanted to ask Guan Ling's opinion.

As a partner of Dadi Cinemas, Guan Ling assigned someone to be responsible for the investment, construction and accounting of Dadi Cinemas. He did not really care about the specific affairs and was free from worry.

But as a mainland director with the best connections in Hollywood, his decision to have Dadi Cinemas build more IMAX theaters is now seen by Manager Yan as a godsend.

Several blockbusters have been released one after another, whether they are sequels to Hollywood imported blockbusters or tribute films such as "The Founding of a Party", all of them have IMAX versions. It is almost foreseeable that these newly built theaters can make a lot of money this year.

But he still wanted to ask Guan Ling's opinion, which would determine how many halls he would need to open.

Because if it is fully open and no one goes, it would be just a waste of manpower.

"It is not difficult for this movie to make 500 million or 600 million in the mainland box office. From now until August, my suggestion is to fully open it." Guan Ling's response made Yan Yu feel a little relieved.

"Then I'll listen to the boss." Yan Yu also made some kind of decision.

He himself was a little confused about how to schedule the screenings of so many movies, as many of them were released one after another. Now it seems that there is no need to consider so much and just fill them all up.

If the seat is not full, then change it.

…………

On May 5, the filming of "Hot Girl" was completed.

The final shooting took place in a train carriage. Hengdian has train carriages. They had made one before when filming "Source Code", but it was later blown up.

The hot girl at the bottom of the class, played by Yang Mi, was admitted to her own university. She leaned against the moving train carriage, looking into the distance with affection.

"Crack!"

Following Guan Ling's closing remarks, cheers rose from the crew of "Hot Girls".

Yang Mi looked at Guan Ling with tears in her eyes, "I thought this drama would have a bloody ending."

Guan Ling glanced at Yang Mi and said, "Look, you were crying in the car just now, it would have been better."

"I cried because I was moved. But the hot girl in the play shouldn't be moved. Everything she has is the result of her hard work."

"Let's just assume you're right. But being touched has nothing to do with hard work. Everyone wants to make progress. In the carriage, if she didn't cry, it was because she was looking forward to the future. If she cried, it was because she was reminiscing about the past. It's all fine."

This time Yang Mi did not refute.

She nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said, "You're right. I also want to make progress."

Guan Ling looked at her teasing gaze and understood what she meant.

After the filming was completed, the media that had been waiting there immediately posted the final photos online, which instantly caused an uproar in the industry.

It instantly became a hot topic on Weibo, and there was constant news on portal websites.

Netizens were shocked!
"Filming started in April and finished in May. Director Guan Ling is still the fast boy as always."

"A screenwriter's commercial art film topped the monthly box office in theaters, a screenwriter's film won an award in the Cannes main competition unit, a director completed a commercial blockbuster and is in post-production in Hollywood, an animated film is being modeled and perfected at the Magic City Art Studio, a screenwriter's low-budget film started shooting in Chongqing, and now another low-budget film will be completed in the short term. Director Guan is a rare hexagonal warrior in China!"

"How cruel! Has anyone ever calculated it? How many movies has Director Guan participated in since The Uninvited Visitor?"

“When in doubt, ask Baidu Encyclopedia!”

"What the above person said is not true. As far as I know, Skyrim is making more than one movie. Isn't Zhang Ziyi still in Hollywood? Moreover, Director Guan has officially announced five animations in Venice. He also announced "Your Name" and the possibility of filming a romance movie. It's impossible to calculate the number!"

You don’t know until you talk about it, and you’ll be surprised when you do.

The more netizens talked about it, the more horrified it became, mainly because Guan Ling was just too cruel.

"I've been reading an online novel recently. Guan Ling must have a ring, and there's an old man inside the ring."

"This is definitely cheating!"

"I have never seen such a tough life!"

The discussion among netizens is just a dream.

But for Guan Ling, a body as gentle and smooth as jade is the reality.

In the evening, the wrap party of "Hot Girls" was held.

The banquet was filled with toasts. Yin Tao's face turned red after drinking. He pulled Guan Ling back to the crew hotel and sang loudly.

Between the strong.

The door code was opened.

Yang Mi came in from outside, looked at the people in the room, and was instantly speechless.
